1
00:00:11,894 --> 00:00:13,310
My mum was Tommy's sister.

2
00:00:14,552 --> 00:00:17,762
My dad was... been...
a police officer.

3
00:00:19,005 --> 00:00:21,318
By the time of our inquiry
in 2015,

4
00:00:21,421 --> 00:00:23,389
Thurwell had taken
early retirement,

5
00:00:23,492 --> 00:00:25,218
believed to be
living in Spain.

6
00:00:27,979 --> 00:00:29,050
Two dead, sir.

7
00:00:29,153 --> 00:00:31,776
<i>Marcus Thurwell,
Senora Thurwell.</i>

8
00:00:37,472 --> 00:00:39,715
You want to talk about rats,
ask your boss.

9
00:00:39,819 --> 00:00:41,062
Superintendent Hastings?

10
00:00:41,165 --> 00:00:43,305
He told me there was a rat
in our crew.

11
00:00:43,409 --> 00:00:46,791
That rat turned out to be
an undercover copper,

12
00:00:46,895 --> 00:00:48,276
John Corbett.

13
00:00:50,588 --> 00:00:52,797
I think I've found the real
reason the Gaffer gave

14
00:00:52,901 --> 00:00:54,247
50 grand to Steph Corbett.

15
00:00:58,424 --> 00:00:59,632
Superintendent Hastings

16
00:00:59,735 --> 00:01:02,462
has been informed
of his impending retirement.

17
00:01:05,396 --> 00:01:06,777
We have identified

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,192
a number of
high-ranking figures

19
00:01:08,296 --> 00:01:10,574
in a clandestine network
of corrupt police officers.

20
00:01:10,677 --> 00:01:12,162
This force has detected
no evidence of

21
00:01:12,265 --> 00:01:13,749
institutionalised corruption.

22
00:01:16,269 --> 00:01:19,445
We are so close to breaking
open Operation Lighthouse

23
00:01:19,548 --> 00:01:22,551
and OCG involvement
in Gail Vella's murder!

24
00:01:25,175 --> 00:01:26,452
The case Gail Vella
was researching

25
00:01:26,555 --> 00:01:27,867
at the time of her death
was the murder

26
00:01:27,970 --> 00:01:29,075
of Lawrence Christopher.

27
00:01:29,179 --> 00:01:30,559
That was, what, 20 years ago?

28
00:01:31,905 --> 00:01:34,529
I've been looking into
all the officers that were

29
00:01:34,632 --> 00:01:36,358
involved in the Lawrence
Christopher murder inquiry.

30
00:01:37,152 --> 00:01:39,292
Detective Constable
Ian Buckells,

31
00:01:40,811 --> 00:01:42,226
Inspector Philip Osborne.

32
00:01:47,956 --> 00:01:49,751
Sorry, wrong way.

33
00:01:54,445 --> 00:01:57,724
<i>Not only does this
force face enemies without,</i>

34
00:01:57,828 --> 00:02:00,141
<i>there are enemies within.</i>

35
00:02:00,244 --> 00:02:03,661
<i>I will personally see to it
those enemies within</i>

36
00:02:03,765 --> 00:02:06,630
<i>are made to suffer
the consequences.</i>

37
00:02:09,633 --> 00:02:10,875
<i>And later that same day</i>

38
00:02:10,979 --> 00:02:12,291
<i>you visited Lee Banks,
an OCG member</i>

39
00:02:12,394 --> 00:02:13,706
<i>on remand
in Blackthorn prison.</i>

40
00:02:13,809 --> 00:02:16,226
<i>Yes. To harvest
information on the OCG.</i>

41
00:02:16,329 --> 00:02:17,606
<i>When DS Arnott quite rightly</i>

42
00:02:17,710 --> 00:02:19,298
<i>did not deploy lethal force
against John Corbett,</i>

43
00:02:19,401 --> 00:02:21,092
<i>did you take matters
into your own hands</i>

44
00:02:21,196 --> 00:02:22,887
<i>and disclose to Lee Banks</i>

45
00:02:22,991 --> 00:02:25,200
<i>that John Corbett was an
undercover police officer...</i>

46
00:02:25,304 --> 00:02:27,271
<i>-No, I did not.
-disclosing this information</i>

47
00:02:27,375 --> 00:02:28,445
<i>with the expectation</i>

48
00:02:28,548 --> 00:02:29,825
<i>that it would be passed on
to the OCG?</i>

49
00:02:29,929 --> 00:02:31,482
<i>-No.

50
00:02:36,038 --> 00:02:38,006
<i>The stuff
he's hiding,</i>

51
00:02:38,109 --> 00:02:40,457
I never thought I'd look
at the Gaffer like this.

52
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,493
He knows his time's nearly up.

53
00:02:42,597 --> 00:02:44,081
He's been slated
for retirement.

54
00:02:45,324 --> 00:02:46,566
Shit.

55
00:02:46,670 --> 00:02:48,948
I've been waiting for
the right time to tell you.

56
00:02:49,051 --> 00:02:50,639
Maybe we should let
sleeping dogs lie.

57
00:02:52,158 --> 00:02:53,332
Come off it, Steve.

58
00:02:53,435 --> 00:02:55,092
How many times have
we criticised coppers

59
00:02:55,196 --> 00:02:57,577
that took retirement
to dodge disciplinary action?

60
00:03:00,442 --> 00:03:02,651
You got anything more
from Steph Corbett?

61
00:03:02,755 --> 00:03:04,274
No, I think about asking her.

62
00:03:04,377 --> 00:03:06,207
She's got a right to know
what happened to her husband.

63
00:03:06,310 --> 00:03:08,209
Maybe she already does?

64
00:03:08,312 --> 00:03:10,038
She might be blackmailing
the Gaffer.

65
00:03:10,141 --> 00:03:11,764
Steph? No.

66
00:03:11,867 --> 00:03:13,214
You seem pretty sure.

67
00:03:16,355 --> 00:03:18,149
What?

68
00:03:18,253 --> 00:03:20,531
-We've become...
-Oh, for Christ's sake, Steve!

69
00:03:20,635 --> 00:03:21,498
It's not like that, mate.

70
00:03:21,601 --> 00:03:22,913
-It's different.

71
00:03:23,016 --> 00:03:25,467
She's a Person of Interest.

72
00:03:25,916 --> 00:03:27,158
Chris.

73
00:03:28,850 --> 00:03:30,369
Yeah, we'll be right there.

74
00:03:35,477 --> 00:03:38,273
GPR detected a strong
subsurface diffractor

75
00:03:38,377 --> 00:03:40,310
and I gave a go-ahead
for a dig

76
00:03:40,413 --> 00:03:42,208
which revealed a strong box
of the type

77
00:03:42,312 --> 00:03:44,693
detected at the abandoned
printshop.

78
00:03:44,797 --> 00:03:47,282
Nice one, Chris.
-Thanks, Ma'am.

79
00:03:47,386 --> 00:03:49,353
Let's get EOD
to rule out booby traps,

80
00:03:49,457 --> 00:03:51,528
then proceed to
forensic recovery.

81
00:03:51,631 --> 00:03:52,874
Sir.

82
00:03:52,977 --> 00:03:54,531
Let's find out
what's in there.

83
00:04:06,025 --> 00:04:07,613
Alright if I call you Steve?

84
00:04:07,716 --> 00:04:08,752
Fine.

85
00:04:10,512 --> 00:04:13,170
It's taken a while
to organise his consultation.

86
00:04:13,274 --> 00:04:15,621
Are you able to tell me
why that might be, Steve?

87
00:04:15,724 --> 00:04:17,864
Just work, sorry.

88
00:04:20,350 --> 00:04:24,215
In the medical declaration
form that you submitted

89
00:04:24,319 --> 00:04:27,115
at the time of your
urine sampling, you listed

90
00:04:27,218 --> 00:04:29,531
a number of
over-the-counter painkillers.

91
00:04:29,635 --> 00:04:30,808
Uh, for what condition?

92
00:04:31,706 --> 00:04:33,155
Hurt my knee at five-a-side.

93
00:04:33,259 --> 00:04:35,088
My shoulder was squash.

94
00:04:35,192 --> 00:04:39,645
SMTU detected levels of
metabolites in your urine,

95
00:04:39,748 --> 00:04:41,025
consistent with the ingestion

96
00:04:41,129 --> 00:04:43,304
of very high doses
of analgesics.

97
00:04:49,102 --> 00:04:50,311
In April 2017,

98
00:04:50,414 --> 00:04:53,210
you suffered a serious assault
whilst on duty.

99
00:04:54,073 --> 00:04:55,316
I'm fully recovered.

100
00:05:05,084 --> 00:05:07,397
Recently been involved
in an operation

101
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:10,158
in which a number of suspects
have been killed.

102
00:05:11,021 --> 00:05:13,299
One having been shot dead
by you

103
00:05:13,403 --> 00:05:14,921
and one of your colleagues,

104
00:05:15,025 --> 00:05:17,268
PS Ruby Jones,
lost her life.

105
00:05:19,719 --> 00:05:21,203
Yeah.

106
00:05:23,999 --> 00:05:25,829
That's not the first time
you've witnessed

107
00:05:25,932 --> 00:05:27,831
a colleague's violent death.

108
00:05:27,934 --> 00:05:31,662
DCI Tony Gates was killed
in a road traffic collision.

109
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,355
DC Georgia Trotman,
your partner

110
00:05:34,458 --> 00:05:35,459
was thrown from a window...

111
00:05:35,563 --> 00:05:38,359
-Where you going with this?
-Steve...

112
00:05:38,462 --> 00:05:41,085
I'm satisfied that
none of the substances

113
00:05:41,189 --> 00:05:43,018
you've been taking
are illegal.

114
00:05:43,122 --> 00:05:45,262
This is purely about
your welfare.

115
00:05:45,918 --> 00:05:47,747
I'm here to help, not judge.

116
00:05:49,059 --> 00:05:51,268
You might benefit from
some time off work.

117
00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:52,925
No.

118
00:05:53,028 --> 00:05:55,099
No way. I'm in the middle
of a massive case.

119
00:05:57,688 --> 00:06:00,070
Do your duties routinely
involved firearms

120
00:06:00,173 --> 00:06:01,830
or high-speed pursuit driving?

121
00:06:03,867 --> 00:06:05,420
Sometimes.

122
00:06:05,524 --> 00:06:08,492
Normally, in this situation,
we suggest that the officer

123
00:06:08,596 --> 00:06:11,564
voluntarily surrenders
their blue ticket.

124
00:06:11,668 --> 00:06:15,396
Otherwise, I'm obliged to
report you to Head of Firearms

125
00:06:15,499 --> 00:06:18,295
who will then remove
your firearms license.

126
00:06:21,643 --> 00:06:24,646
-Okay.
-Thank you.

127
00:06:26,096 --> 00:06:28,029
So I'd like you to have some
medical investigations

128
00:06:28,132 --> 00:06:30,238
and then review you
with the results.

129
00:06:30,341 --> 00:06:31,722
Can we agree on that?

130
00:06:32,343 --> 00:06:34,069
Fine.

131
00:06:34,173 --> 00:06:37,659
I'm also obliged to inform
your commanding officer.

132
00:06:42,215 --> 00:06:43,354
Yeah.

133
00:06:47,393 --> 00:06:48,532
Steve?

134
00:06:52,191 --> 00:06:54,400
I want you to hear it
from me first, sir.

135
00:06:55,090 --> 00:06:56,851
I'm under medical review.

136
00:06:56,954 --> 00:06:59,509
The drugs testing found
high doses of painkillers.

137
00:07:02,097 --> 00:07:03,374
Yeah, well...

138
00:07:03,478 --> 00:07:05,549
I'm just glad you're getting
some help with it, son.

139
00:07:07,689 --> 00:07:10,071
If there's anything I can do
just let me know.

140
00:07:15,317 --> 00:07:16,664
Thank you very much, Sir.

141
00:07:18,631 --> 00:07:19,839
Yeah.

142
00:07:25,569 --> 00:07:27,364
<i>Take your time,
take your time.</i>

143
00:07:28,089 --> 00:07:30,091
<i>You're doing well, Jo.</i>

144
00:07:32,887 --> 00:07:35,441
<i>So, Tommy hid from you
he was your real father?</i>

145
00:07:37,926 --> 00:07:38,996
<i>Yes.</i>

146
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:40,826
<i>Who did you believe
was your father?</i>

147
00:07:43,863 --> 00:07:45,451
<i>This person,</i>

148
00:07:45,555 --> 00:07:47,729
<i>did he control you
the same way Tommy Hunter did?</i>

149
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,218
<i>-This person,</i>

150
00:07:54,322 --> 00:07:56,427
<i>Did he control you
the same way Tommy Hunter did?</i>

151
00:08:04,332 --> 00:08:06,610
<i>You have
one new message.</i>

152
00:08:07,818 --> 00:08:09,337
<i>Steve, it's Steph.</i>

153
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,615
<i>God, I hate these
message thingy's.</i>

154
00:08:11,719 --> 00:08:14,342
<i>It's just I ain't
heard from you in a while.</i>

155
00:08:14,445 --> 00:08:15,516
<i>I hope you're alright.</i>

156
00:08:15,619 --> 00:08:18,139
<i>Coppers wife me,
I can't help but worry.</i>

157
00:08:19,071 --> 00:08:21,107
<i>That's it really, bye.</i>

158
00:08:52,483 --> 00:08:54,313
Thanks, guys.
Sure, Sarge.

159
00:08:56,211 --> 00:08:59,145
So the excavation detected
a strongbox.

160
00:08:59,249 --> 00:09:01,631
The contents of the box are
itemised as follows.

161
00:09:02,493 --> 00:09:05,186
KL-2.
A non-standard pistol,

162
00:09:05,289 --> 00:09:08,396
believed to be workshopped
from a decommissioned firearm.

163
00:09:08,499 --> 00:09:09,846
NABIS have matched
the pistol

164
00:09:09,949 --> 00:09:11,433
to the tailored cartridge
and bullet

165
00:09:11,537 --> 00:09:13,781
recovered from the scene
of Gail Vella's murder.

166
00:09:13,884 --> 00:09:14,954
Almost certainly,

167
00:09:15,058 --> 00:09:17,301
this is the weapon
that fired the fatal shot.

168
00:09:17,405 --> 00:09:19,718
-Fingerprints? DNA?
-No. It was clean.

169
00:09:19,821 --> 00:09:22,099
Almost certainly
the gunman was wearing gloves.

170
00:09:22,583 --> 00:09:24,377
KL-4, KL-5,

171
00:09:24,481 --> 00:09:26,587
gloves and
a black bomber jacket.

172
00:09:26,690 --> 00:09:30,073
Both items bear blood spatter
and gunshot residue.

173
00:09:30,176 --> 00:09:31,315
The blood is Gail Vella's.

174
00:09:31,419 --> 00:09:33,835
-DNA inside the gloves?
-Yes, Ma'am.

175
00:09:33,939 --> 00:09:35,181
Sweat deposits
inside the gloves

176
00:09:35,285 --> 00:09:37,598
matched DNA
belonging to Carl Banks.

177
00:09:37,701 --> 00:09:39,772
-Got the bastard.
-Yes sir.

178
00:09:39,876 --> 00:09:41,084
We can match Banks
to the gloves

179
00:09:41,187 --> 00:09:42,844
and the gloves
to Gail Vella's murder.

180
00:09:42,948 --> 00:09:44,397
He's the shooter.

181
00:09:44,501 --> 00:09:46,054
Any of it related
to Terry Boyle?

182
00:09:46,158 --> 00:09:47,366
No Sir, nothing.

183
00:09:47,918 --> 00:09:49,575
Great. Next.

184
00:09:51,370 --> 00:09:52,405
GN-1.

185
00:09:53,752 --> 00:09:56,755
I'm sorry to be the bearer
of distressing news.

186
00:09:56,858 --> 00:09:59,516
This knife is stained with
the blood of an AC-12 officer,

187
00:10:00,137 --> 00:10:02,312
PC Maneet Bindra.

188
00:10:03,554 --> 00:10:08,214
Fingerprints on the handle
match Ryan Pilkington.

189
00:10:12,667 --> 00:10:13,806
GN-2.

190
00:10:13,910 --> 00:10:17,051
This knife is stained with
the blood of DS John Corbett.

191
00:10:17,154 --> 00:10:19,674
Fingerprints on the handle
match Ryan Pilkington.

192
00:10:21,572 --> 00:10:22,919
GN-3.

193
00:10:23,022 --> 00:10:25,646
This knife is stained with
the blood of Jackie Laverty.

194
00:10:25,749 --> 00:10:26,923
Fingerprints on the handle

195
00:10:27,026 --> 00:10:28,614
match a deceased
police officer,

196
00:10:28,718 --> 00:10:30,443
DCI Tony Gates.

197
00:10:30,547 --> 00:10:33,067
Gates told me the OCG
slit Jackie's throat

198
00:10:33,170 --> 00:10:34,171
and while he was incapacitated

199
00:10:34,275 --> 00:10:35,759
they put his hand
on the knife.

200
00:10:35,863 --> 00:10:37,450
They blackmailed him
with the threat of releasing

201
00:10:37,554 --> 00:10:39,280
Jackie's body and
the murder weapon.

202
00:10:39,383 --> 00:10:41,351
That's why all these items
were retained.

203
00:10:41,454 --> 00:10:42,628
They're leverage,
going back years,

204
00:10:42,732 --> 00:10:45,079
right up to it being a threat
to Ryan Pilkington.

205
00:10:45,562 --> 00:10:46,736
Anything else?

206
00:10:46,839 --> 00:10:49,704
Any items related to one
or more of the following?

207
00:10:49,808 --> 00:10:52,603
Marcus Thurwell, Ian Buckells.

208
00:10:52,707 --> 00:10:53,846
No, nothing.

209
00:10:55,503 --> 00:10:57,160
Philip Osborne.

210
00:10:57,954 --> 00:10:59,680
The Chief Constable?

211
00:11:01,095 --> 00:11:02,303
What?

212
00:11:14,764 --> 00:11:16,800
Great work, you two.
Great work.

213
00:11:16,904 --> 00:11:18,112
Cast-iron proof

214
00:11:18,215 --> 00:11:20,528
that Carl Banks murdered
Gail Vella.

215
00:11:20,631 --> 00:11:23,117
I've got a call later
with the Crown Prosecutor.

216
00:11:23,220 --> 00:11:24,981
I'm sure we can persuade them
to withdraw proceedings

217
00:11:25,084 --> 00:11:26,189
against Terry Boyle.

218
00:11:26,292 --> 00:11:27,708
Great.

219
00:11:27,811 --> 00:11:29,710
Well, that's the least
we can do for the wee fella.

220
00:11:29,813 --> 00:11:31,746
Any updates from Spain?

221
00:11:31,850 --> 00:11:34,576
They formally identified
the bodies found at the villa.

222
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:36,613
They are Marcus Thurwell
and his wife.

223
00:11:36,717 --> 00:11:37,579
Both have been strangled.

224
00:11:37,683 --> 00:11:38,891
And from the extent
of decomposition,

225
00:11:38,995 --> 00:11:40,928
they'd been dead a few weeks.

226
00:11:41,031 --> 00:11:43,068
A search of the property
detected equipment

227
00:11:43,171 --> 00:11:45,518
used for routing
digital communications

228
00:11:45,622 --> 00:11:46,450
with an IP address

229
00:11:46,554 --> 00:11:48,383
matching the ones
detected on devices

230
00:11:48,487 --> 00:11:51,283
belonging to Jo Davidson
and Lisa McQueen.

231
00:11:51,386 --> 00:11:53,941
From the evidence gathered
by Spanish authorities,

232
00:11:54,044 --> 00:11:55,701
Cybercrime are still
trying to trace

233
00:11:55,805 --> 00:11:57,496
all end-user IP addresses

234
00:11:57,599 --> 00:12:00,533
but initial work suggests
they're located in the UK.

235
00:12:01,465 --> 00:12:03,053
Oh, so the communication
originated here?

236
00:12:03,157 --> 00:12:04,296
Exactly.

237
00:12:05,262 --> 00:12:07,092
So, Spain is a decoy.

238
00:12:07,713 --> 00:12:09,163
Thurwell's a stooge.

239
00:12:10,474 --> 00:12:11,993
Jesus!

240
00:12:12,097 --> 00:12:13,892
Have you seen
Superintendent Hastings?

241
00:12:13,995 --> 00:12:15,100
Yes, he's just
through there.

242
00:12:15,203 --> 00:12:16,584
-Sir.
Huh?

243
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,938
-Sorry to barge in.
-What have we got?

244
00:12:26,042 --> 00:12:27,802
I knew you'd want to
see this straight away.

245
00:12:27,906 --> 00:12:30,356
We've been monitoring messages
being routed via Spain.

246
00:12:30,460 --> 00:12:32,220
This is a screenshot
of a text exchange

247
00:12:32,324 --> 00:12:33,774
we intercepted
a few minutes ago.

248
00:12:33,877 --> 00:12:36,121
We're working on identifying
the IP addresses.

249
00:12:36,224 --> 00:12:38,330
JD. Jo Davidson.

250
00:12:39,331 --> 00:12:40,677
BP. Brentiss prison.

251
00:12:42,506 --> 00:12:44,854
I thought you put Davidson
on elevated monitoring.

252
00:12:44,957 --> 00:12:46,027
Yeah, but we can't take
the chance

253
00:12:46,131 --> 00:12:47,270
that that's gonna work out.

254
00:12:47,373 --> 00:12:49,272
Look at the spelling
of "definitely."

255
00:12:49,375 --> 00:12:52,275
This is the Fourth Man. Chloe,

00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,075
on this spelling
against anybody

260
00:12:59,178 --> 00:13:01,180
that we haven't
previously investigated.

261
00:13:01,284 --> 00:13:02,354

324
00:17:38,595 --> 00:17:40,839
<i>ETA 30 seconds,
standing by for...</i>

325
00:17:40,942 --> 00:17:42,012
Arrest her.
Stick her in the back

326
00:17:42,116 --> 00:17:43,773
-with her wee mate.
Sir.

327
00:17:51,021 --> 00:17:52,264
Great work, you two.

328
00:17:52,851 --> 00:17:54,818
-Great work.
-Sir.

329
00:17:57,442 --> 00:17:58,788
<i>The prison officers
and driver</i>

330
00:17:58,891 --> 00:18:00,824
have been taken into custody.

331
00:18:00,928 --> 00:18:03,724
We've recently gained access
to illicit communications

332
00:18:03,827 --> 00:18:05,622
between OCG members.

333
00:18:05,726 --> 00:18:06,865
Fortunately, we were able to

334
00:18:06,968 --> 00:18:08,418
intercept your
Prison Transport

335
00:18:08,522 --> 00:18:10,351
<i>and replace
two of the prison officers</i>

336
00:18:10,455 --> 00:18:12,595
<i>before the OCG
got their hands on you.</i>

337
00:18:12,698 --> 00:18:14,114
<i>The production order
was a forgery.</i>

338
00:18:14,217 --> 00:18:15,943
<i>Now we're looking into
how that was done.</i>

339
00:18:16,046 --> 00:18:18,221
<i>Enabling corrupt prison
officers to stage a handover</i>

340
00:18:18,325 --> 00:18:20,120
<i>they could claim afterwards
was an ambush.</i>

341
00:18:20,223 --> 00:18:21,466
<i>They're all under arrest.</i>

342
00:18:22,708 --> 00:18:24,262
You're safe now, Jo.

343
00:18:27,057 --> 00:18:28,576
Thank you.

344
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,233
I mean, you're really safe

345
00:18:31,096 --> 00:18:33,236
to apply for
witness protection.

346
00:18:33,340 --> 00:18:35,583
All my notes, all my records
will show that

347
00:18:35,687 --> 00:18:38,414
you acted under control
and coercion of others.

348
00:18:39,553 --> 00:18:41,417
You can live the life
you should have lived.

349
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,213
Be free to be the person
that you really are

350
00:18:44,316 --> 00:18:46,353
if you tell us
who the top man is.

351
00:18:53,325 --> 00:18:55,293
<i>We know from
the illicit communications,</i>

352
00:18:55,396 --> 00:18:58,330
<i>you were taken out
of Brentiss to be killed.</i>

353
00:18:58,434 --> 00:19:00,470
We strongly believe the order
came from the same person

354
00:19:00,574 --> 00:19:01,816
who's been communicating
with you

355
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,233
throughout Operation Lighthouse.

356
00:19:04,336 --> 00:19:06,476
This person you're protecting
doesn't care for you.

357
00:19:07,236 --> 00:19:08,754
You mean nothing to him.

358
00:19:10,239 --> 00:19:12,413
This man you believe
to be your father.

359
00:19:12,517 --> 00:19:13,587
Is he the one?

360
00:19:18,178 --> 00:19:21,698
Tommy told me
after my mom died.

361
00:19:24,184 --> 00:19:26,669
I had no reason to doubt him.

362
00:19:29,050 --> 00:19:33,676
He made me obey
this police officer.

363
00:19:35,816 --> 00:19:37,507
He made me fear him.

364
00:19:38,508 --> 00:19:39,682
Yeah.

365
00:19:39,785 --> 00:19:41,718
It was all a cruel lie

366
00:19:42,823 --> 00:19:45,343
to manipulate you,
to control you.

367
00:19:45,446 --> 00:19:47,414
You know what
you were born into.

368
00:19:47,931 --> 00:19:49,347
You're not bent.

369
00:19:50,658 --> 00:19:53,143
Be free of him, Jo.
Give him up.

370
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,216
Give us his name.

371
00:20:18,583 --> 00:20:20,964
Prison officers
are isolating the suspect.

372
00:20:21,068 --> 00:20:23,726
AFOs will
secure the suspect.

373
00:20:23,829 --> 00:20:27,074
Advise when unarmed officers
are clear to proceed.

374
00:20:27,177 --> 00:20:28,938
Sir!

375
00:20:29,041 --> 00:20:30,422
When clear
to proceed,

376
00:20:30,526 --> 00:20:34,323
FIs will deploy to
the suspect's cell.

377
00:21:02,937 --> 00:21:04,145
Sir.
Nothing.

378
00:21:04,249 --> 00:21:06,286
-Not so much as a post-it.
-Shit.

379
00:21:06,389 --> 00:21:07,735
Has he said anything yet?

380
00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:09,565
-Not yet, Sir.
-Let's go.

381
00:21:22,992 --> 00:21:24,027
Resuming interview.

382
00:21:24,131 --> 00:21:26,098
Superintendent Hastings
has joined.

383
00:21:26,202 --> 00:21:27,583
You remain under caution.

384
00:21:30,413 --> 00:21:32,173
So, where have you
hidden it all?

385
00:21:34,003 --> 00:21:36,385
The computer,
the burner phones.

386
00:21:38,456 --> 00:21:41,424
I don't know
what you're talking about.

387
00:21:42,667 --> 00:21:44,427
I get mixed up.

388
00:21:44,531 --> 00:21:46,533
You packed Thurwell off
to Spain, didn't you,

389
00:21:46,636 --> 00:21:47,499
to be your go-between?

390
00:21:47,603 --> 00:21:49,984
-Images 76 and 77.
Spain?

391
00:21:50,088 --> 00:21:51,745
What would I
have to do with Spain?

392
00:21:51,848 --> 00:21:53,229
Thurwell could
point the finger.

393
00:21:53,333 --> 00:21:54,472
So you had him killed.

394
00:21:54,575 --> 00:21:57,613
Like Dot Cottan and
ACC Hilton, right?

395
00:21:57,716 --> 00:22:00,409
All these names,
my head's spinning now.

396
00:22:00,512 --> 00:22:03,791
And Gail Vella. Did you order
her murder too?

397
00:22:03,895 --> 00:22:07,277
I haven't the faintest idea
who you're talking about.

398
00:22:07,381 --> 00:22:10,108
Joanne Davidson. What's your
relationship to her?

399
00:22:11,074 --> 00:22:13,111
-Joanne who?
-Davidson!

400
00:22:13,214 --> 00:22:15,320
We know about her relationship
to Tommy Hunter

401
00:22:15,424 --> 00:22:17,840
and to a police officer
purported to be her father.

402
00:22:17,943 --> 00:22:19,531
Are you the officer?

403
00:22:19,635 --> 00:22:22,223
Did you have a relationship
with Joanne Davidson's mother,

404
00:22:22,327 --> 00:22:23,535
Samantha Davidson?

405
00:22:28,713 --> 00:22:32,302
For the DIR, I'm showing
the interviewee image 17,

406
00:22:32,406 --> 00:22:33,442
a copy of a photograph

407
00:22:33,545 --> 00:22:35,133
captured during
a lawful search

408
00:22:35,236 --> 00:22:37,411
of apartment G,
9 Croxford Street

409
00:22:37,515 --> 00:22:40,138
on the 24th of November 2020.

410
00:22:40,241 --> 00:22:42,451
Who can you see in image 17?

411
00:22:47,490 --> 00:22:49,009
Sorry.

412
00:22:49,112 --> 00:22:50,804
The woman is
Samantha Davidson,

413
00:22:50,907 --> 00:22:52,668
also known as Samantha Hunter.

414
00:22:53,220 --> 00:22:55,118
Tommy Hunter's sister.

415
00:22:55,222 --> 00:22:56,257
And the girl in the photo.

416
00:22:56,361 --> 00:22:57,845
I have not the foggiest.

417
00:22:57,949 --> 00:22:59,122
It's
Joanne Davidson.

418
00:22:59,226 --> 00:23:00,779
Okay, let me ask you this,

419
00:23:00,883 --> 00:23:02,885
did you and Tommy Hunter
convince her

420
00:23:02,988 --> 00:23:04,438
that you were her father?

421
00:23:16,450 --> 00:23:19,798
You, you, you.
You're going back years.

422
00:23:19,902 --> 00:23:22,042
I don't remember any of this.

423
00:23:22,145 --> 00:23:23,940
I'm not as sharp
as I used to be.

424
00:23:24,044 --> 00:23:25,183
Christ sake!

425
00:23:34,123 --> 00:23:35,780
Superintendent Hastings
has left the room.

426
00:23:50,622 --> 00:23:51,692
Yes, we're going back years.

427
00:23:51,796 --> 00:23:53,694
He's bloody right.
We've been going back years.

428
00:23:53,798 --> 00:23:55,731
This thing has been
driving me mad for years.

429
00:23:55,834 --> 00:23:58,250
Cybercrime aren't finished
tracing IP addresses, Sir.

430
00:23:58,354 --> 00:23:59,942
There's still a possibility
they'll detect evidence

431
00:24:00,045 --> 00:24:01,081
pointing at Fairbank

432
00:24:01,184 --> 00:24:04,084
Look, he's been in that prison
since 2015.

433
00:24:04,187 --> 00:24:06,500
Our search should've
shown up something.

434
00:24:09,917 --> 00:24:11,263
It's Chloe.

435
00:24:11,367 --> 00:24:12,782
So answer it, answer it!

436
00:24:13,473 --> 00:24:14,543
DI Arnott.

437
00:24:17,131 --> 00:24:18,270
She's found something

438
00:24:18,374 --> 00:24:19,824
in the Lawrence Christopher
records.

439
00:24:19,927 --> 00:24:21,411
Well let's go.

440
00:24:28,729 --> 00:24:31,421
Cybercrime have been examining
all the devices seized

441
00:24:31,525 --> 00:24:34,079
from Davidson, Buckells,
Lisa McQueen

442
00:24:34,183 --> 00:24:37,324
and the OCG men who attempted
to abduct Davidson.

443
00:24:37,427 --> 00:24:39,499
As suggested by
Superintendent Hastings,

444
00:24:39,602 --> 00:24:41,811
they carried out a search
for idiosyncrasies

445
00:24:41,915 --> 00:24:44,607
in grammar,
punctuation and spelling.

446
00:24:44,711 --> 00:24:45,919
You'll recall this is

447
00:24:46,022 --> 00:24:48,680
the last communication
we intercepted.

448
00:24:48,784 --> 00:24:51,234
And this is the last exchange

449
00:24:51,338 --> 00:24:53,340
between Jo Davidson and
the user she believed

450
00:24:53,443 --> 00:24:54,755
was Patrick Fairbank.

451
00:24:55,929 --> 00:24:57,413
Cybercrime told me
they picked up

452
00:24:57,517 --> 00:24:58,656
on the mis-spelling
of "definitely"

453
00:24:58,759 --> 00:25:02,245
going back to exchanges
with Lisa McQueen in 2019.

454
00:25:05,559 --> 00:25:07,596
We've been able to
extend the search

455
00:25:07,699 --> 00:25:09,839
into files that
we didn't have back then.

456
00:25:10,806 --> 00:25:12,324
This is a handwritten report

457
00:25:12,428 --> 00:25:15,120
from the Lawrence Christopher
inquiry in 2003.

458
00:25:21,610 --> 00:25:24,854
And this is from Operation
Lighthouse in 2019.

459
00:25:28,962 --> 00:25:30,550
Christ!
Shit!

460
00:25:31,758 --> 00:25:34,484
This is the officer's
signature on both reports,

461
00:25:34,588 --> 00:25:36,590
2003 and 2019.

462
00:25:38,212 --> 00:25:40,145
Come off it. No way.

463
00:25:40,249 --> 00:25:41,526
This can't be right.

464
00:25:46,082 --> 00:25:47,601
Are you sure, Chloe?

465
00:25:47,705 --> 00:25:49,983
Cybercrime are attempting
to trace IP addresses

466
00:25:50,086 --> 00:25:51,812
that correspond
to this suspect.

467
00:25:51,916 --> 00:25:53,158
Then we'll know for sure.

468
00:25:54,574 --> 00:25:57,507
Right. Well,
they better crack on.

469
00:25:57,611 --> 00:26:00,062
Outstanding work, Chloe,
outstanding work.

470
00:26:00,407 --> 00:26:01,581
Sir.

471
00:26:06,447 --> 00:26:08,622
All this time we've been
chasing shadows.

472
00:26:08,726 --> 00:26:10,210
If this is right, he's been
under our noses

473
00:26:10,313 --> 00:26:11,452
from the very beginning.

474
00:26:11,556 --> 00:26:13,351
For God sake, what does this
make us look like?

475
00:26:13,454 --> 00:26:15,491
Yes, but you heard Chloe.
We didn't have this before.

476
00:26:15,595 --> 00:26:17,389
It's one thing getting
your man, it's another thing

477
00:26:17,493 --> 00:26:18,770
getting the evidence
to nail him,

478
00:26:18,874 --> 00:26:21,186
I mean, that's the battle.
And battle we shall.

479
00:26:21,290 --> 00:26:24,500
Let's see what Carmichael's
got to say for herself now.

480
00:26:24,604 --> 00:26:26,364
Sir, wait.

481
00:26:29,643 --> 00:26:32,612
You two look like you've lost
a shilling and found a penny.

482
00:26:34,337 --> 00:26:36,823
Sir, we need to be cautious
about disclosing this finding.

483
00:26:37,824 --> 00:26:39,619
AC-12's being disbanded,

484
00:26:39,722 --> 00:26:42,414
DCS Carmichael put in charge
of downgrading Anticorruption.

485
00:26:42,518 --> 00:26:44,244
Yes. But after what
we've achieved here,

486
00:26:44,347 --> 00:26:45,970
I have got a sneaking
suspicion that

487
00:26:46,073 --> 00:26:48,558
AC-12's gonna be around
for a while yet.

488
00:26:48,662 --> 00:26:50,630
And, believe me Kate,
if you want it,

489
00:26:50,733 --> 00:26:51,872
there is a job here for you.

490
00:26:51,976 --> 00:26:53,149
Thank you, sir,

491
00:26:53,253 --> 00:26:54,564
but the point
Steve's making is

492
00:26:54,668 --> 00:26:56,187
this finding is gonna
throw our inquiry

493
00:26:56,290 --> 00:26:58,361
into the spotlight.

494
00:26:58,465 --> 00:27:01,675
Anything that might discredit
AC-12 will be held against us.

495
00:27:02,607 --> 00:27:04,851
What are you
talking about?

496
00:27:06,473 --> 00:27:08,026
Sir, in the course
of our inquiry

497
00:27:08,130 --> 00:27:09,649
into Operation Lighthouse,

498
00:27:09,752 --> 00:27:13,204
certain findings came to light
which relate to you.

499
00:27:13,307 --> 00:27:15,309
DI Arnott's been in contact
with Steph Corbett,

500
00:27:15,413 --> 00:27:17,104
John Corbett's widow.

501
00:27:17,208 --> 00:27:19,210
Yes.

502
00:27:20,038 --> 00:27:22,006
Well, look. I know about that.

503
00:27:22,109 --> 00:27:23,352
She told me.

504
00:27:23,455 --> 00:27:25,043
To be honest, I didn't know
what to make of it,

505
00:27:25,147 --> 00:27:26,735
so I just let it lie.

506
00:27:26,838 --> 00:27:31,153
She also told me about
your painkiller misuse, Steve.

507
00:27:33,224 --> 00:27:35,882
And I saw to it that
you got help

508
00:27:35,985 --> 00:27:37,642
rather than
disciplinary action.

509
00:27:38,194 --> 00:27:39,506
It's called loyalty.

510
00:27:40,610 --> 00:27:43,959
Sir, during
an unlawful search,

511
00:27:44,062 --> 00:27:45,512
an item was found
which relates to

512
00:27:45,615 --> 00:27:47,341
the missing sum
of fifty thousand pounds.

513
00:27:48,377 --> 00:27:50,275
You're not under caution
so anything you say to us

514
00:27:50,379 --> 00:27:51,967
at this time can't be
used in evidence.

515
00:27:52,070 --> 00:27:53,727
That's loyalty right there.

516
00:27:59,664 --> 00:28:00,803
Take a seat.

517
00:28:08,777 --> 00:28:09,812
The money...

518
00:28:12,159 --> 00:28:16,819
I swear to God,
I was tricked.

519
00:28:16,923 --> 00:28:20,236
I was handed an envelope,
I was told it was one thing,

520
00:28:20,340 --> 00:28:22,618
I threw it to one side.
Thought nothing more about it.

521
00:28:22,722 --> 00:28:25,621
It turned out to be
a big bundle of cash.

522
00:28:25,725 --> 00:28:28,313
I tried to return it,
I was blocked at every turn,

523
00:28:28,417 --> 00:28:31,592
before I could hand it in
as evidence, it was found.

524
00:28:32,214 --> 00:28:34,112
That was only half of it.

525
00:28:34,216 --> 00:28:36,839
You must've hidden
the other fifty thousand.

526
00:28:36,943 --> 00:28:39,566
Yes. Well of course I realised

527
00:28:39,669 --> 00:28:41,637
it could be a bribe
that might turn nasty.

528
00:28:41,741 --> 00:28:43,812
So I split it in half,
put one half safe.

529
00:28:44,778 --> 00:28:46,469
In case the OCG came looking.

530
00:28:46,573 --> 00:28:48,471
You know, it was my insurance
against them.

531
00:28:48,575 --> 00:28:50,508
But unfortunately for me,
before I could use it

532
00:28:50,611 --> 00:28:52,752
as leverage against them
or hand it in as evidence

533
00:28:52,855 --> 00:28:54,063
the other half was found.

534
00:28:54,167 --> 00:28:56,238
Instead you gave it
to Steph Corbett.

535
00:28:56,341 --> 00:28:58,274
Officially that money
didn't exist.

536
00:28:58,827 --> 00:29:00,035
I mean, yes.

537
00:29:00,138 --> 00:29:01,899
Yes, I could've handed it in.

538
00:29:02,002 --> 00:29:03,935
But instead I give it
to a young woman

539
00:29:04,039 --> 00:29:05,419
with two wee girls

540
00:29:06,144 --> 00:29:07,387
who'd've been left destitute

541
00:29:07,490 --> 00:29:10,424
because her husband was killed
in the line of duty.

542
00:29:12,841 --> 00:29:14,049
Are we done?

543
00:29:14,877 --> 00:29:16,120
No, sir.

544
00:29:17,811 --> 00:29:20,952
As part of AC-12's inquiry
into Operation Lighthouse

545
00:29:21,056 --> 00:29:23,299
DI Arnott interviewed
Lee Banks,

546
00:29:24,335 --> 00:29:26,233
who disclosed
the source of information

547
00:29:26,337 --> 00:29:29,167
regarding John Corbett being
an undercover police officer.

548
00:29:33,033 --> 00:29:34,759
I swear to God.

549
00:29:35,898 --> 00:29:39,695
I did not disclose
John Corbett as a UCO.

550
00:29:41,007 --> 00:29:42,284
I told Lee Banks

551
00:29:42,387 --> 00:29:44,596
that there was
an informant in the OCG.

552
00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:46,115
No more than that.

553
00:29:46,219 --> 00:29:47,737
I thought that Corbett
when he heard about it,

554
00:29:47,841 --> 00:29:49,498
he would go to ground,
he'd hand himself in

555
00:29:49,601 --> 00:29:50,913
at the nearest
police station.

556
00:29:51,017 --> 00:29:52,950
It was by way
of bringing him in.

557
00:29:53,053 --> 00:29:54,848
I swear to God.

558
00:29:54,952 --> 00:29:56,229
You must have understood
there was a risk

559
00:29:56,332 --> 00:29:57,575
of Corbett
coming to harm.

560
00:29:59,128 --> 00:30:00,681
Well, that is
the worst part of it.

561
00:30:00,785 --> 00:30:02,166
Yes. Yes.

562
00:30:04,133 --> 00:30:06,101
John Corbett
had been involved

563
00:30:06,204 --> 00:30:08,344
in the death
of four police officers,

564
00:30:08,448 --> 00:30:10,381
our Maneet being one of them.

565
00:30:10,484 --> 00:30:13,073
He had beaten
and tortured my own wife.

566
00:30:13,177 --> 00:30:16,628
So I thought he had it
coming to him in spades.

567
00:30:19,010 --> 00:30:20,494
But what I didn't know

568
00:30:22,324 --> 00:30:24,429
was that he was the son
of a woman

569
00:30:24,533 --> 00:30:28,640
I cared
deeply about...

570
00:30:30,953 --> 00:30:32,748
...many years ago.

571
00:30:34,923 --> 00:30:37,097
If there is one thing
I could take back

572
00:30:38,927 --> 00:30:40,307
it would be that.

573
00:30:41,964 --> 00:30:43,621
What a terrible
thing I did.

574
00:30:46,382 --> 00:30:47,867
What a terrible
thing I did.

575
00:30:51,456 --> 00:30:54,045
Giving that money to that
young woman was,

576
00:30:55,253 --> 00:30:57,428
you know,
by way of atonement,

577
00:30:58,981 --> 00:31:00,569
what little there was of it.

578
00:31:04,090 --> 00:31:05,746
Does Steph know
the real reason?

579
00:31:06,230 --> 00:31:07,265
No.

580
00:31:09,578 --> 00:31:11,718
And if she did,
what would she make of it?

581
00:31:16,102 --> 00:31:17,793
Who's gonna judge what I did?

582
00:31:19,899 --> 00:31:23,247
Her? The law?

583
00:31:27,907 --> 00:31:29,184
My colleagues?

584
00:31:32,981 --> 00:31:34,223
God?

585
00:33:22,090 --> 00:33:23,263
Sit down.

586
00:33:39,279 --> 00:33:41,902

Ian Buckells,

589
00:33:48,116 --> 00:33:49,255
you do not have to
say anything,

590
00:33:49,358 --> 00:33:50,359
but it may harm
your defence

591
00:33:50,463 --> 00:33:51,533
if you do not mention
when questioned

592
00:33:51,636 --> 00:33:53,949
something you later
rely on in court.

593
00:33:54,053 --> 00:33:56,089
Anything you do say
may be used in evidence.

detected an Internet
Protocol address

599
00:34:10,724 --> 00:34:12,588
matching GGM-13.

600
00:34:12,692 --> 00:34:15,212
Analysis of GGM-13's
hard drive detected

601
00:34:15,315 --> 00:34:18,146
the communication
shown in Image 126.

608
00:34:41,479 --> 00:34:44,241
carried out by
a forensic linguist.

609
00:34:44,344 --> 00:34:47,485
All digital communications
on the hard drive of GGM-13

610
00:34:47,589 --> 00:34:49,280
where examined
using methodologies

611
00:34:49,384 --> 00:34:52,318
based on examples of your
spelling and syntax.

612
00:34:52,421 --> 00:34:55,838
Now, the report concludes,
there is a 95% probability

613
00:34:55,942 --> 00:34:59,394
the messages detected on
GGM-13 were written by you.

Document 112
is a summary

616
00:35:07,367 --> 00:35:09,956
of forensic examination
of GGM-13

617
00:35:10,059 --> 00:35:13,235
to detect fingerprints
and DNA deposits.

618
00:35:13,339 --> 00:35:16,549
Fingerprints and DNA
detected on GGM-13

619
00:35:16,652 --> 00:35:19,207
are a match to your
fingerprints and DNA

620

with a probability
greater than 99.9%.

621
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:23,866
Ian Buckells,

622
00:35:25,005 --> 00:35:27,284
did you order
the abduction

623
00:35:27,387 --> 00:35:30,218
of Detective Superintendent
Joanne Davidson

624
00:35:30,942 --> 00:35:32,254
and the attempted murder

625
00:35:32,358 --> 00:35:34,774
of Detective Inspector
Kate Fleming?

626
00:35:40,849 --> 00:35:42,057
No comment.

627
00:35:43,334 --> 00:35:45,267
Did you order
the murder of Gail Vella

628
00:35:45,371 --> 00:35:47,511
and/or James Lakewell?

629

Further examination
of communications

631
00:35:55,519 --> 00:35:57,314
routed via Spain
harvested a number

632
00:35:57,417 --> 00:35:58,556
of Internet Protocol addresses

to this inquiry.

634
00:36:01,559 --> 00:36:04,148
One such address relates
to a property in Edge Park,

00:36:24,237 --> 00:36:27,447
Holte End Holdings, registered
in the Cayman Islands.

644
00:36:29,138 --> 00:36:31,520
Document 197 in your folders.

645
00:36:31,624 --> 00:36:34,213
Holte End Holdings
owns a timeshare property

646
00:36:34,316 --> 00:36:37,216
in Gran Canaria as well as
17 Maychurch Road

647
00:36:37,319 --> 00:36:40,702
with an estimated total value
of three million pounds.

648
00:36:40,805 --> 00:36:41,841
What's your relationship

649
00:36:41,944 --> 00:36:43,222
to Holte End Holdings?

650
00:36:44,533 --> 00:36:45,569
No comment.

651
00:36:47,364 --> 00:36:50,021
I've worked with you
three times now.

652
00:36:50,125 --> 00:36:53,128
Undercover in 2012
with Tony Gates' team.

653
00:36:53,232 --> 00:36:55,786
Undercover in 2017
with Roz Huntley's team.

654
00:36:55,889 --> 00:36:57,477
And this year
at Hillside Lane.

655
00:36:59,307 --> 00:37:03,069
Always the same
crap suits. Dad cars.

656
00:37:03,172 --> 00:37:04,588
I mean, you never put
your hand in your pocket

657
00:37:04,691 --> 00:37:05,692
when it's your round.

658
00:37:06,831 --> 00:37:08,177
You certainly did a grand job
at hiding all this,

659
00:37:08,281 --> 00:37:09,455
I'll give you that.

660
00:37:10,939 --> 00:37:13,079
But you are leading
a double life.

661

Image 138 on screen.

663
00:37:20,983 --> 00:37:24,263
Image 138 shows
Item Reference HS-6.

664
00:37:24,366 --> 00:37:27,576
HS-6 is a laptop computer
detected under the floorboards

665
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,751
of 17 Maychurch Road.

666
00:37:29,854 --> 00:37:33,064
Analysis of HS-6's hard drive
detected the communication

667
00:37:33,168 --> 00:37:34,687
shown in Image 141.

Document 118
in your folders.

669
00:37:42,039 --> 00:37:43,868
Document 118
is a summary

670
00:37:43,972 --> 00:37:46,354
of forensic examination
of HS-6

671
00:37:46,457 --> 00:37:49,909
to detect fingerprints
and DNA deposits.

672
00:37:50,012 --> 00:37:53,153
Fingerprints and DNA
detected on HS-6

673
00:37:53,257 --> 00:37:55,570
are a match
to your fingerprints and DNA

674
00:37:55,673 --> 00:37:59,298
with a probability
greater than 99.9%.

675
00:37:59,401 --> 00:38:02,301
Ian Buckells, did you order
organised criminal activities

676
00:38:02,404 --> 00:38:04,372
such as the raid
on Eastfield Depot

677
00:38:04,475 --> 00:38:06,857
on February the 15th, 2019?

678
00:38:08,686 --> 00:38:09,825
No comment.

679
00:38:09,929 --> 00:38:14,071
These messages originated
from a device operated by you.

680
00:38:14,174 --> 00:38:15,210
There's no point denying it.

681
00:38:15,314 --> 00:38:16,694
We've shown you
the evidence.

682
00:38:16,798 --> 00:38:19,835
We know from an undercover
officer embedded in the OCG,

683
00:38:19,939 --> 00:38:21,250
DS John Corbett,

684
00:38:21,354 --> 00:38:24,564
from a former member
of the same OCG, Lisa McQueen,

685
00:38:24,668 --> 00:38:26,532
that they sought approval
for the Eastfield robbery.

686
00:38:26,635 --> 00:38:30,605
Yeah, and they got it.
From you, fella.

687
00:38:33,055 --> 00:38:34,574
No comment.

688
00:38:34,678 --> 00:38:38,751
We know from testimony
given to us by Joanne Davidson

689
00:38:38,854 --> 00:38:40,373
that after
Tommy Hunter's death

690
00:38:40,856 --> 00:38:42,858
desperate OCG's

691
00:38:42,962 --> 00:38:44,826
retained clandestine
relationships

692
00:38:44,929 --> 00:38:46,379
with corrupt police officers.

693
00:38:46,483 --> 00:38:49,658
We also know from intercepted
text communications

694
00:38:49,762 --> 00:38:51,936
that these relationships
were orchestrated

695
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,732
by one officer in particular,

696
00:38:54,836 --> 00:38:58,357
once wrongly codenamed "H.",

697
00:38:58,460 --> 00:39:00,635
now referred to
as the Fourth Man.

698
00:39:00,738 --> 00:39:03,810
Ian Buckells,
are you the Fourth Man?

699
00:39:05,881 --> 00:39:07,089
No comment.

700
00:39:07,918 --> 00:39:09,229
The secret life.

701
00:39:10,369 --> 00:39:12,785
The big house. The fast cars.
The bits on the side.

702
00:39:12,888 --> 00:39:15,477
Deborah Devereux. Is that
what turned your head?

703
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,617
No comment.

704
00:39:17,721 --> 00:39:20,068
You know, over the years,
we have investigated

705
00:39:20,171 --> 00:39:21,518
all manner of motives.

706
00:39:21,621 --> 00:39:23,968
but the most mundane
basest motive of them all,

707
00:39:24,072 --> 00:39:26,523
plain simple greed.

708
00:39:27,593 --> 00:39:29,111
You were a DC

709
00:39:29,733 --> 00:39:32,356
on a bent team, Thurwell's,

710
00:39:32,460 --> 00:39:35,394
and as you made your way
up through the ranks,

711
00:39:35,497 --> 00:39:37,982
there wasn't anything that
you wouldn't turn your hand to

712
00:39:38,086 --> 00:39:39,570
as long as
the price was right.

713
00:39:39,674 --> 00:39:42,021
That's the top and bottom
of it, isn't it, fella?

714
00:39:42,124 --> 00:39:43,263
No comment.

715
00:39:43,367 --> 00:39:45,921
Oh, yeah. You rose
through the ranks, all right?

716
00:39:46,025 --> 00:39:47,785
Leaving a trail
of blunders behind you.

717
00:39:47,889 --> 00:39:50,236
How some people
can fail upwards.

718
00:39:50,339 --> 00:39:51,513
Beggars belief.

719
00:39:51,617 --> 00:39:54,654
And all the time we were here
thinking we were chasing

720
00:39:54,758 --> 00:39:55,862
some criminal mastermind.

721
00:39:55,966 --> 00:39:59,279
But no, just like
your old boss, Thurwell,

722
00:39:59,383 --> 00:40:02,386
who botched the Lawrence
Christopher murder enquiry,

723
00:40:02,490 --> 00:40:06,217
your corruption was mistaken
for incompetence.

724
00:40:08,047 --> 00:40:09,117
No comment.

725
00:40:09,220 --> 00:40:10,532
Your cover was so convincing

726
00:40:10,636 --> 00:40:12,465
that even your DCI,
Jo Davidson,

727
00:40:12,569 --> 00:40:14,536
didn't realise that
the blundering fool

728
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,159
she was framing
was actually the person

729
00:40:17,263 --> 00:40:19,438
who was pulling her
strings all along.

730
00:40:27,446 --> 00:40:30,552
Yeah, right.
I'm a blundering fool.

731
00:40:30,656 --> 00:40:33,175
I'm only the one who's made
total mugs out of you lot.

732
00:40:50,054 --> 00:40:51,815
Ian Buckells, do you have
anything to say?

733
00:40:55,784 --> 00:40:57,199
Yeah, you see,
the thing is,

734
00:40:57,303 --> 00:41:00,271
DCS Carmichael is meant to be
taking over, ain't she?

735
00:41:01,549 --> 00:41:02,550
But she ain't in here.

736
00:41:04,068 --> 00:41:05,311
So that makes me wonder

737
00:41:05,414 --> 00:41:06,726
whether she doesn't want
to be associated

738
00:41:06,830 --> 00:41:09,384
with detecting
institutionalised corruption.

739
00:41:10,592 --> 00:41:13,802
Because officially,
institutionalised corruption

740
00:41:13,906 --> 00:41:15,114
don't exist, does it?

741
00:41:16,184 --> 00:41:19,498
Officially, "H"
or "The Fourth Man",

742
00:41:19,601 --> 00:41:21,085
or whatever
you want to call him,

743
00:41:21,672 --> 00:41:23,260
he don't exist neither.

744
00:41:27,057 --> 00:41:29,438
So that makes me realise
that everyone

745
00:41:29,542 --> 00:41:32,131
would be much happier
if this all just went away.

746
00:41:33,753 --> 00:41:35,824
So, I'll take immunity
and witness protection.

747
00:41:35,928 --> 00:41:37,723
-Thank you very much.
-Jesus Christ.

748
00:41:44,074 --> 00:41:45,524
So, give us something.

749
00:41:46,283 --> 00:41:47,526
Who's the top man?

750
00:41:48,423 --> 00:41:49,458
You?

751
00:41:56,811 --> 00:41:58,260
Tommy Hunter was the top man.

752
00:41:59,468 --> 00:42:02,126
After he went they all split
into different OCG's.

753
00:42:02,230 --> 00:42:03,645
I just passed on
the orders.

754
00:42:04,888 --> 00:42:06,372
It used to be
Fairbank and Thurwell,

755
00:42:06,475 --> 00:42:07,960
then it was Hilton
and Cottan,

756
00:42:08,063 --> 00:42:09,168
and now
they've gone,

757
00:42:09,271 --> 00:42:10,549
-it's just...
-You?

758
00:42:11,757 --> 00:42:13,552
The last man standing.

759
00:42:16,589 --> 00:42:19,523
So you did order
the Eastfield robbery?

760
00:42:19,627 --> 00:42:21,594
Well, a haul that size
was bigger than one gang.

761
00:42:22,733 --> 00:42:25,633
The goods needed storing,
fencing, you name it.

762
00:42:26,703 --> 00:42:28,843
Other OCGs wanted in on it.

763
00:42:28,946 --> 00:42:30,707
And you just
put the pieces together?

764
00:42:31,224 --> 00:42:33,433
Yeah, if you like.

765
00:42:33,537 --> 00:42:34,711
And you also put
the pieces together

766
00:42:34,814 --> 00:42:35,850
for Lakewell's murder?

767
00:42:36,644 --> 00:42:39,198
Thurwell's? Gail Vella's?

768
00:42:39,301 --> 00:42:41,372
How many times
do I have to explain to you?

769
00:42:42,477 --> 00:42:45,066
That's the OCGs,
that's their doing.

770
00:42:45,756 --> 00:42:47,655
I just passed things on.

771
00:42:47,758 --> 00:42:49,277
Have you no remorse

772
00:42:50,416 --> 00:42:52,073
for all the suffering
you've caused?

773
00:42:52,176 --> 00:42:53,902
Have you no conscience?

774
00:42:54,006 --> 00:42:55,594
I didn't plan it
or nothing, did I?

775
00:42:57,009 --> 00:42:58,251
They just kept asking me

776
00:42:58,355 --> 00:42:59,943
to sort bigger
and bigger stuff.

777
00:43:00,046 --> 00:43:02,497
Jesus Christ. You're sitting
the other side of this table

778
00:43:02,601 --> 00:43:04,119
asking us
for witness protection.

779
00:43:04,223 --> 00:43:07,364
It's me you're gonna need
protection from.

780
00:43:08,745 --> 00:43:10,470
Would you like
a glass of water?

781
00:43:21,723 --> 00:43:23,138
Image 145.

782
00:43:25,382 --> 00:43:28,799
Now, the murders of Thurwell,
Hilton, Cottan and Lakewell,

783
00:43:28,903 --> 00:43:31,491
I get why the OCG's
were the ones to order those.

784
00:43:32,596 --> 00:43:34,633
Like Tommy Hunter,
their loyalty was in question

785
00:43:34,736 --> 00:43:35,841
and they knew too much.

786
00:43:37,049 --> 00:43:38,878
Gail Vella was different.

787
00:43:38,982 --> 00:43:41,398
We know the last thing
she uncovered before Lee Banks

788
00:43:41,501 --> 00:43:43,434
passed the word on her
to his brother Carl.

789
00:43:43,952 --> 00:43:45,022
It was the corruption

790
00:43:45,126 --> 00:43:46,955
inside the Lawrence
Christopher inquiry.

791
00:43:47,059 --> 00:43:48,336
Tommy Hunter was dead.

792
00:43:48,439 --> 00:43:50,165
His son Darren's a nobody.

793
00:43:50,269 --> 00:43:51,580
The OCG had no good reason

794
00:43:51,684 --> 00:43:54,307
to order such
a high-profile assassination.

795
00:43:54,411 --> 00:43:55,481
But two police officers

796
00:43:55,584 --> 00:43:57,034
involved in that
original corruption

797
00:43:57,138 --> 00:43:58,380
are now high ranking.

798
00:43:59,105 --> 00:44:01,832
You and
Chief Constable Osborne.

799
00:44:02,971 --> 00:44:05,215
And both of you
had a hell of a lot to lose.

800
00:44:06,803 --> 00:44:08,149
Ian Buckells,

801
00:44:09,357 --> 00:44:12,671
did you and/or
Chief Constable Osborne

802
00:44:12,774 --> 00:44:16,640
collude in a conspiracy
to murder Gail Vella?

803
00:44:26,512 --> 00:44:28,376
Take your time, Ian.

804
00:44:28,479 --> 00:44:29,826
It's a simple enough question.

805
00:44:31,137 --> 00:44:32,276
But naturally you're aware

806
00:44:32,380 --> 00:44:34,002
failing to cooperate
with this inquiry

807
00:44:34,106 --> 00:44:36,177
would make you ineligible
for witness protection.

808
00:44:39,318 --> 00:44:41,216
And you're also aware
that confessing

809
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,356
to conspiracy to murder
would make you ineligible

810
00:44:43,460 --> 00:44:45,531
for immunity from prosecution.

811
00:44:51,951 --> 00:44:56,162
No one makes mugs of AC-12.

812
00:45:07,726 --> 00:45:09,210
Interview terminated.

813
00:45:40,724 --> 00:45:42,519
-Nice one, mate.
-Nice one, mate.

814
00:45:47,904 --> 00:45:50,492
Well this is weird, ain't it,
wrapping everything up?

815
00:45:51,355 --> 00:45:52,805
Do you think
Buckells will talk?

816
00:45:52,909 --> 00:45:53,979
I hope so.

817
00:45:54,082 --> 00:45:56,084
The Gaffer wants him
protected round the clock

818
00:45:56,188 --> 00:45:57,603
in case the OCG
come after him.

819
00:45:59,191 --> 00:46:00,779
What we gonna do
about the Gaffer?

820
00:46:02,746 --> 00:46:04,058
I believe him.

821
00:46:04,161 --> 00:46:05,369
Yeah, me too.

822
00:46:05,473 --> 00:46:07,751
But if Carmichael takes over,
that's him out anyway.

823
00:46:07,855 --> 00:46:10,202
Yeah, probably me too.

824
00:46:10,305 --> 00:46:12,135
And me,
if I decide to come back.

825
00:46:13,757 --> 00:46:14,793
Will you?

826
00:46:14,896 --> 00:46:16,691
Someone's got to keep
you lot in line.

827
00:46:20,143 --> 00:46:22,145
You don't realise what
you've got until it's gone.

828
00:46:23,629 --> 00:46:24,664
Likewise.

829
00:46:30,843 --> 00:46:34,605
So, do you want to
talk about stuff?

830
00:46:37,712 --> 00:46:39,472
You don't have to,
just when you're ready.

831
00:46:42,648 --> 00:46:43,787
I've been
seeing the MO.

832
00:46:45,168 --> 00:46:46,479
About the painkillers.

833
00:46:47,515 --> 00:46:48,550
Yeah.

834
00:46:49,275 --> 00:46:50,725
I had no idea, mate.

835
00:46:51,312 --> 00:46:52,934
I should have told you.

836
00:46:53,038 --> 00:46:54,108
But, if people knew
I might have been

837
00:46:54,211 --> 00:46:55,419
taken off active duty.

838
00:46:56,938 --> 00:46:58,146
Still might.

839
00:46:59,630 --> 00:47:00,666
I'm sorry.

840
00:47:03,565 --> 00:47:05,429
You just gonna stick
to the one drink?

841
00:47:07,052 --> 00:47:08,260
Why d'you ask?

842
00:47:10,020 --> 00:47:12,091
Still early enough
to drive up to Liverpool.

843
00:47:13,679 --> 00:47:16,130
I'm not sure it's a good idea
to keep seeing Steph.

844
00:47:17,062 --> 00:47:18,891
But, you want to?

845
00:47:18,995 --> 00:47:21,825
Yeah. But what chance
has it got?

846
00:47:23,654 --> 00:47:24,552
You wanna be careful, mate.

847
00:47:24,655 --> 00:47:26,036
You're gonna end up
on your own.

848
00:47:26,726 --> 00:47:27,762
I'm not on my own.

849
00:47:29,005 --> 00:47:30,213
I've got you, mate.

850
00:47:32,387 --> 00:47:34,873
We recognise
police officers experience

851
00:47:34,976 --> 00:47:36,736
stress and pain
in their work.

852
00:47:38,152 --> 00:47:42,225
They can take many forms,
particularly when an officer's

853
00:47:42,328 --> 00:47:45,469
witnessed lethal violence
or taken part in it.

854
00:47:46,677 --> 00:47:48,541
Now that's when
the support of friends,

855
00:47:48,645 --> 00:47:51,372
family, colleagues
can make all the difference.

856
00:47:54,409 --> 00:47:57,033
Me and my partner
are separated.

857
00:47:57,136 --> 00:48:00,381
I've got a son, Josh.
He keeps me going.

858
00:48:01,002 --> 00:48:02,279
And colleagues?

859
00:48:04,074 --> 00:48:05,973
Yeah, I'm lucky.

860
00:48:06,076 --> 00:48:07,457
Working with one of the best.

861
00:48:09,838 --> 00:48:11,875
To be honest, I don't know
what I'd do without him.

862
00:48:19,331 --> 00:48:20,435
Darren Hunter's involvement

863
00:48:20,539 --> 00:48:22,161
in Lawrence Christopher's
murder

864
00:48:22,265 --> 00:48:23,818
was deliberately
suppressed at the time

865
00:48:23,922 --> 00:48:25,958
due to Hunter
being Tommy's son.

866
00:48:26,062 --> 00:48:28,202
I've asked MIT to open
a cold-case inquiry.

867
00:48:28,305 --> 00:48:30,273
Try and get
a conviction this time.

868
00:48:30,376 --> 00:48:32,654
Hmm. Oh, good luck
with that.

869
00:48:32,758 --> 00:48:35,864
Ma'am, I'd like us to consider
opening a parallel inquiry.

870
00:48:35,968 --> 00:48:36,969
Thurwell gave the orders,

871
00:48:37,073 --> 00:48:38,557
no doubt at the behest
of Tommy Hunter,

872
00:48:38,660 --> 00:48:39,868
but it can't only
have been Thurwell

873
00:48:39,972 --> 00:48:42,250
who realised the investigation
was being sabotaged.

874
00:48:42,354 --> 00:48:43,527
Some of Thurwell's
subordinates

875
00:48:43,631 --> 00:48:45,150
are still serving
police officers.

876
00:48:45,253 --> 00:48:48,498
Historic corruption cases
aren't a priority.

877
00:49:10,554 --> 00:49:11,831
Come in. Thank you.

878
00:49:13,109 --> 00:49:15,145
-Steve, Kate.
Sir.

879
00:49:16,353 --> 00:49:18,045
Ted.
-Ma'am.

880
00:49:19,874 --> 00:49:23,291
I thought I should inform you
that I have lodged an appeal

881
00:49:23,395 --> 00:49:25,604
against my
enforced retirement.

882
00:49:26,777 --> 00:49:28,607
The Chief Constable's
about to make a statement.

883
00:49:28,710 --> 00:49:29,953
You mind?

884
00:49:30,057 --> 00:49:31,748
No. Go ahead.

885
00:49:32,852 --> 00:49:34,993
...a <i>tribute
to the tireless dedication</i>

886
00:49:35,096 --> 00:49:38,617
<i>of my officers
who have gained justice</i>

887
00:49:39,100 --> 00:49:40,653
<i>for Gail Vella.</i>

888
00:49:41,689 --> 00:49:44,209
<i>I give you my
personal assurance that</i>

889
00:49:44,312 --> 00:49:46,625
<i>any failings
in the original inquiry</i>

890
00:49:46,728 --> 00:49:49,386
<i>will be thoroughly
investigated.</i>

891
00:49:50,008 --> 00:49:51,837
<i>Lessons will be learned.</i>

892
00:49:52,941 --> 00:49:54,460
<i>Throughout my career</i>

893
00:49:54,564 --> 00:49:58,223
<i>whenever I've encountered
wrongdoing, I've acted.</i>

894
00:49:59,224 --> 00:50:00,501
<i>But, let me be clear.</i>

895
00:50:01,778 --> 00:50:04,953
<i>These are the misdeeds
of a few rotten apples.</i>

896
00:50:05,057 --> 00:50:07,197
<i>And to invoke
institutionalised</i>

897
00:50:07,301 --> 00:50:10,373
<i>police corruption
is an outrageous lie,</i>

898
00:50:11,098 --> 00:50:13,203
<i>and an insult to my officers.</i>

899
00:50:14,170 --> 00:50:16,275
<i>The public don't want
police officers</i>

900
00:50:16,379 --> 00:50:18,243
<i>to be held to account
for every little thing</i>

901
00:50:18,346 --> 00:50:20,245
<i>they're meant to have done.</i>

902
00:50:20,348 --> 00:50:22,557
<i>They want us
to get on with the job.</i>

903
00:50:22,661 --> 00:50:24,939
<i>And that's what we will do.
Thank you.</i>

904
00:50:26,182 --> 00:50:29,081
AC-12. My team.

905
00:50:29,185 --> 00:50:31,359
My officers have just closed

906
00:50:31,463 --> 00:50:33,189
the biggest
anti-corruption operation

907
00:50:33,292 --> 00:50:35,018
that this force has ever seen.

908
00:50:35,122 --> 00:50:37,124
Just caught
the last ring leader

909
00:50:37,227 --> 00:50:38,780
in a clandestine network

910
00:50:38,884 --> 00:50:41,818
of corrupt police officers
and the Chief Constable

911
00:50:41,921 --> 00:50:43,613
hasn't a blind word
to say about it.

912
00:50:43,716 --> 00:50:45,822
Look, proceedings
against Ian Buckells

913
00:50:45,925 --> 00:50:47,306
are now
with the Crown Prosecutor.

914
00:50:47,410 --> 00:50:49,446
It would be premature
to draw conclusions

915
00:50:49,550 --> 00:50:51,586
about how much
was institutionalised

916
00:50:51,690 --> 00:50:54,624
and how much was Ian Buckells
working alone.

917
00:50:54,727 --> 00:50:56,453
Oh, if I may, Ma'am.

918
00:50:57,627 --> 00:51:00,630
Ian Buckells was
an incompetent officer

919
00:51:00,733 --> 00:51:03,840
who was repeatedly promoted
through the ranks.

920
00:51:03,943 --> 00:51:07,085
The more influence that he
gained over police operations,

921
00:51:07,188 --> 00:51:09,570
the more valuable
he became to the OCGs.

922
00:51:09,673 --> 00:51:13,091
Till eventually
this incompetent officer

923
00:51:13,194 --> 00:51:16,301
became the linchpin
in sinister enterprises.

924
00:51:16,404 --> 00:51:18,165
However, none of this,

925
00:51:18,268 --> 00:51:20,236
none of this
could've happened

926
00:51:20,339 --> 00:51:22,686
without the wilful blindness
of those in power.

927
00:51:22,790 --> 00:51:26,138
And those in power
should be held to account.

928
00:51:26,242 --> 00:51:27,484
It devastates me
that we've stopped

929
00:51:27,588 --> 00:51:29,348
standing up
for accountability,

930
00:51:29,452 --> 00:51:33,111
and we've stopped caring
about truth and integrity.

931
00:51:33,214 --> 00:51:36,700
Because it is these
institutional failures

932
00:51:36,804 --> 00:51:40,256
that enable the likes
of Ian Buckells to be corrupt.

933
00:51:43,293 --> 00:51:44,329
Ma'am.

934
00:51:49,817 --> 00:51:51,336
-Thanks, Chloe.
Ma'am.

935
00:51:52,302 --> 00:51:53,821
I'll let you out, sir.

936
00:52:23,644 --> 00:52:24,645
Ma'am.

937
00:52:30,789 --> 00:52:33,171
I'd like to make a statement
about my involvement

938
00:52:33,274 --> 00:52:34,965
in the leak
of information

939
00:52:35,069 --> 00:52:36,726
that led
to the unlawful killing

940
00:52:39,142 --> 00:52:40,764
of a serving
police officer,

941
00:52:40,868 --> 00:52:42,421
Detective Sergeant
John Corbett.

942
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,562
In an interview
conducted by me

943
00:52:46,770 --> 00:52:48,220
on a convicted OCG member,

944
00:52:48,324 --> 00:52:49,877
Lee Banks,
in Blackthorn prison

945
00:52:49,980 --> 00:52:51,637
on the 12th of March, 2019...

946
00:52:53,777 --> 00:52:57,367
...I disclosed that there was
an informant in the OCG.

947
00:52:57,471 --> 00:53:00,128
I believe that this
information was passed on.

948
00:53:01,026 --> 00:53:02,614
And whether
or not it was deduced

949
00:53:02,717 --> 00:53:03,994
that Corbett was a UCO,

950
00:53:04,098 --> 00:53:05,410
he was murdered

951
00:53:07,135 --> 00:53:09,448
because of the consequences
of my actions.

952
00:53:14,142 --> 00:53:16,593
What do you expect me to do
with that information?

953
00:53:20,770 --> 00:53:22,461
That's entirely
up to you, Ma'am.

954
00:53:24,222 --> 00:53:25,740
But whatever you do,

955
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,504
you do it because you care
about truth

956
00:53:32,057 --> 00:53:33,576
and accountability.

957
00:53:35,060 --> 00:53:38,477
You do it because
you carry the fire.
