DI Denton, I am arresting you
for conspiracy to murder a protected witness...

You've been talking to AC-12!

- What is it?
- A tracking device.

It didn't matter what route
Denton took that night.

The ambushers were tracking Akers!

The records show that
Superintendent Hastings

is in considerable financial difficulties.

- I'd like you to carry on.
- I'm very grateful, sir.

If I was to put myself forward
for promotion,

this officer will more
or less tip me the wink.

We had a deal. Immunity from prosecution,
you two-faced bastard.

Deputy Chief Constable Dryden,
Tommy's "two-faced bastard".

Why can't he?

He's been one of us since
he was a wee laddie.

Been doing a job on the inside for years.

Mind if I look into that, sir?

- Carly Kirk?
- No ID yet.

Her face and finger pulps were burnt off.

The detective came to the house
and took the stuff you said.

That's him.

Nurse. Where's...

Told you he was killed by one of ours.

Don't be alarmed, ma'am.

No!

Out!

You've been in custody.
You've been interviewed.

What have you told them?

- Nothing.
- Christ's sake.

- What have you told them?
- Nothing.

You've been cooperating with AC-12.

The prison officers burning your hands
didn't get the message over?

OK, I'm gonna ask you again.

What have you told them?

Nothing.

Now it gets serious.

- What have you told them?
- Just... Dryden.

- Speak up!
- Mike Dryden... set the whole thing up.

We're listening.

That's all I said.
That's all I said to AC-12.

Jesus Christ, let's just do her.

I've done one female copper.
I'd do another.

It's the truth.

They've remanded you.
What have they got on you?

Dryden set me up!

Last chance.

It is the truth.

You recognise him?

Whatever. He's been a liability
ever since that E-FIT came out.

Now get in the car!

Get in the car!

You're a liability, too,
unless you start telling the truth!

Think about it. Yeah?

Get in!

The prison officers are away.
They look fine. What about Denton?

- We don't know whether she was kidnapped.
- Or sprung from custody.

All patrols.

Lindsay Denton has escaped from custody.

Denton is known to employ
misrepresentation and deceit.

I couldn't have put it better myself.

- Get out there and find her.
- Yes, sir.

"Yes, sir."
God help us all if we've lost her.

Hello, police.

This is DS Manish Prasad,
Polk Avenue Vice.

We've just sighted DI Denton.

- PC Cole was in pursuit but I've lost him.
- What is your location?

- I'm going after them.
- DS Prasad?

Aargh!

Aargh!

Aargh!

- I need an ambulance.
- Yeah, sure.

- You pass me the phone.
- It's in my pocket.

I'm not gonna reach for it.
You want an ambulance, you pass it.

Right. We'll get to the ambulance
in a minute.

First, when I turn this on,
you're gonna record a statement.

Dryden... the ambush... and me.
You got it?

- If I talk, I'm a dead man.
- Maybe you are anyway.

So talk.

Please call an ambulance.

Why'd they use you for the job?

They had stuff on me and Cole.

He's Cole?

Jez. Jeremy Cole.

- What kind of stuff?
- We're Vice. Use your imagination.

- And Dryden?
- Him, too.

So there's the story.

That's why Dryden set up the ambush.

The suspect has asked me to record
what he believes is his dying declaration,

following his receiving life-threatening injuries
in a road traffic collision

and finding himself in the hopeless expectation
of death. State your name.

You really think
you're gonna get out of this?

Not gonna happen.

You killed Wallace and Butler.

Your mate killed Georgia Trotman.
All police!

All innocent!

Aargh!

Please!

God!

Now talk.

DS Manish Prasad.

In the hopeless expectation of death,

I record my dying declaration.

Sighting of Lindsay Denton.

Identifying cell of caller's phone.
Stand by for location.

DS Arnott.

This is Lindsay Denton. I've detained
the two gunmen who carried out the ambush.

They're in a bad way
so I've recorded a dying declaration.

- Where are you?
- Check your inbox for the audio file.

- It's here.
- Got it!

The old High Point building.
I'm keeping this phone on.

They can triangulate to this position.

Lindsay. Lindsay!

High Point's at Moss Heath.
You need to make a U...

- Two bodies. Ready to approach.
- Thank you.

Right. I want this scene secure.

Right now! Somebody evidence
and secure this phone.

Paramedics! On my authority,
you're free to enter the crime scene.

Thank you.

- Is he dead?
- Yep.

Right. On my authority, check that body.

Denton's on foot, sir.
She can't have got far.

- Yes. Kate, put out obs.
- Sir.

- I've got an idea to check out.
- Yes, off you go.

- This one's still alive.
- I want to stay with him.

Keep hold of firearm units,
ensure he gets to hospital.

I agree. Kate, good idea.

- Dot, you're with her.
- Sir.

Right, come on! We've got to
get this cordon sorted out!

- Kate?
- Prasad's still alive.

Received.

- She's in her mother's room.
- Keep out for now.

Just arrived. Nobody approach her.
Stay on the line.

- You the nurse I talked to?
- Yes.

- Where is she?
- Last door on the left.

You hear any commotion,
you call 999 straightaway.

OK.

Lindsay?

Steve Arnott.

I'd like to come in if that's OK.

Lindsay, I'm coming in now.

Very sorry for your loss.

I should have been with her.

We can arrange for you to see her
if that's what you want.

They've already stripped her room.

Her things were very personal.

- They mustn't lose them.
- No. Of course.

They've got to be returned to you.

How did you know I was here?

She was your mum.

- I'll come now.
- Thanks.

Take as long as you need.

I'll just be outside.

Thank you.

Well, let's hope he lives.

It's not whether he lives,
it's whether he'll talk.

- Do you think he will?
- He's got to.

Chances are this arsehole's The Caddy.

I know what the crime scene must look like.

- What happened?
- I was just defending myself.

- I only meant to immobilise him.
- You succeeded.

Don't make light of it.
It was horrible.

What happened to Cole?

Prasad murdered him.

Tell me something - copper to copper.

Cole... Was he definitely
the one who killed Georgia?

Yeah.

He confessed.

You listen to the whole declaration
Prasad made?

No, not yet.

Dryden ordered the ambush, Steve.

Will Cole and Prasad dead,
how will you build a case against Dryden?

- We'll manage.
- The fact that he's Deputy Chief Constable,

that's not an issue?

He's been accused of lying about
a driving offence and it's all melted away.

It's nothing to do with him being the DCC?

Where's it all coming from, Steve?

Hastings, right?

Every rank above DCI
is more politician than policeman.

Hastings isn't daft enough
to take Dryden on.

- But you really don't know the man.
- No.

- I think I know you, though.
- Do you?

Dryden ordered the killings of four police
officers... and one of them was Georgia.

Dot, Kate, come with me.

The rest of you, back to your work.

No-one present at the High Point crime scene
should enter this room,

to prevent forensic cross-contamination.

Is she under arrest and cautioned?

- For what?
- Escape from lawful custody.

- I was kidnapped.
- We'll let a court determine that, shall we?

They weren't springing her.
They were gonna kill her.

Kate, will you do that anyway?

Yes, sir.

We'll also need your clothes for forensics.

Nothing personal. It's procedure.

We'll have a doctor look at you.
In the meantime, we'll take care of you.

- Get a female officer to recover her clothes.
- Sir.

No, no. Not you.
We want your clothes as well.

There's an audio file.
You'll hear she's innocent.

Yes, and I will listen to it.

When you're done here,
place her in protective custody

in a random police station,
under a false ID.

Kate.

Lindsay Denton, you're to be charged
with escape from lawful custody.

Do you require
any legal representation at this time?

OK.

DS Manish Prasad.

In the hopeless expectation of death,

I record my dying declaration.

I carried out the ambush
with DC Jeremy Cole,

under orders
from Deputy Chief Constable Dryden.

Mother of God.

Sorry, gaffer, but I don't think
this can wait any longer,

now we've got the dying declaration.

You've seen these images from CCTV.

The lip-readers analysed the tape.

Nothing incriminating, just banter.

But Dryden and Prasad
appear to be on friendly terms.

Looking at their personnel records,
Dryden was department head at Vice

when Prasad joined as a DC.

They knew each other well, sir.

From the CCTV,
you'd go so far as to call them mates.

That's 15-year-old misper Carly Kirk,
also at the function.

The catering company
have got no record to say

that she was an employee
of theirs that night.

She was known to Prasad and we believe
this is the last time she was seen alive.

Yeah, very good work. Well done.

- Sir.
- Sir.

He said to go straight in.

Gone to ground, Ted?

My office has been asking all day
for you to report.

Forgive me, sir,
I was just making sure of my facts.

Well, let's have them.

We've got the gunmen, sir.

One recorded, confessing to the ambush
and naming his accomplice.

Well, that's fantastic work, Ted.

I want to hear that recording.

All in good time, sir.

This is a joint operation.

I will not disclose any leads
to Detective Chief Superintendent Hargreaves,

and that is final.

Give us a minute, Les.

Les.

Do I have to drag it out of you, Ted?

The two gunmen are - or were -

serving detectives assigned to Vice, sir.

Well, that is a matter of great sensitivity.

It's the right thing to do,
to keep a lid on it.

- Who were they?
- I'd rather not say. I'm still gathering information.

There's those two plus Akers.

And Denton, of course.

Of course, there may be others, sir,
involved in the conspiracy -

others yet to be identified.

Well, very good. Very good.

Being indiscreet, for a moment...

you could be looking
at a promotion here, Ted.

Assuming you want it.

It's a team effort, sir.

Oh, none of that false modesty.

Denise said to come in.

Absolutely.

It's a shame you can't appear
in front of camera,

- but stick around for the press conference.
- Press conference, sir?

What did I say about false modesty?
It's the breakthrough we've been desperate for.

If you'll excuse us, Ted.

Sir.

Sorry to keep you.

Dr Cole will see you now,

then the burns specialist
will look at your hands.

- I'll wait here.
- Thanks

Dr Cole wants her notes downloaded.

She was seen earlier this year.

- All right?
- All right?

You want one, sir?

Or have you packed up,
now you've gone squeaky clean?

I have packed up, as it happens.

That's another thing
you can act superior about, then, sir.

We're off duty, mate. It's still Dot.

How can I help you, sir?

Look, it's all about information
in this game.

I was hoping you could help me out with some
information about a certain executive officer.

You're asking the wrong bloke.

Aforementioned executive officer
had his name splashed all over the papers

for his wife's SP30 -

a paper you used to throw the odd tidbit
every now and then if I remember right.

No comment.

It's no skin off my nose
if you're making a bit of extra holiday pay.

Perk of the job.

What counts is what happened with Dryden.

What really happened that night.

You're in AC five minutes,
you think it's all right to grass on your own?

Dryden, one of our own?

What, he's having posh lunches with the PCC
and shagging on expenses?

We don't owe him anything, mate.

If it's a choice between sticking it to an exec
or sticking it to AC...

I'll have to think about it.

This is all off record.

Come on.

Help me stick it to that smug bastard.

What I heard was,
it was going round wife-to-wife.

She was in a state about the SP30,

terrified about the embarrassment,

then all of a sudden...
it wasn't her who was driving, it was him.

So what was he up to?

You got it from Vice.
You never heard it from me.

Scout's honour.

He likes 'em young.

You got a name you can throw me from Vice?

There is a lad - mouthy. Jez Cole.

Jez Cole?

Jeremy Cole?

Yeah, I've heard they call him The Caddy.

We'll have to take your word for that.

Will you, though?

What?

If you think you've got it bad,
you should try AC.

The bean-counters
are all over you for everything,

but I need to get this box ticked.

All you have to do is say
you've heard this nickname used for Cole.

It'll make it easier to keep your name
out of the Dryden saga.

I don't think the DCC
would be pleased to find out

who splashed his name all over the papers.

But it won't come to that.

For old times' sake.

Apparently Cole likes to wear golf jumpers,

but he's never played the game,
hence "The Caddy".

Nige.

Nice one.

How is he?

Stable.

When he talks, we'll know the truth.

He's already talked.

Under extreme duress.

Have you told Lindsay he's alive?

No.

Good.

You should get off home.

I'm gonna stay.

I want to be here when he comes round.

All right.

- Night.
- Night.

Steve...

Give us a minute, will you?

Cheers.

I don't suppose you've got any idea
what it's like to be locked up 24 hours a day.

- I'm sorry.
- Hold me on the original conspiracy charge,

but please let me make
a second bail application.

Please, Steve.
I can't be locked up any more.

No.

Your Honour, the defendant wishes to make
a second bail application.

I'll hear it.

The defendant has proved
she's not a flight risk

by willingly surrendering herself
into police custody.

She's also fully cooperating
with Anti-Corruption Unit 12

in their further inquiries
into the murders of three police officers

on the 5th of September.

Miss Latimer?

Your Honour, the prosecution
no longer opposes bail,

subject to the defendant
surrendering her passport

and residing at her home address,

this being monitored by an electronic tag.

This is on the basis, Your Honour,

that the defendant continues
to cooperate fully

with Anti-Corruption Unit 12.

From what I've heard,
bail is granted subject to these conditions.

Oh, someone could have put the heating on.

I need a shower and a change of clothes.

The uh... the base unit.

Will alert you if I run off into the night.

- A uniformed officer will remain outside.
- Is that overkill?

- For your protection.
- Right, yeah, thanks.

Great.

Don't suppose you've got any ketchup?

Must've left it with the pickled onions
and mushy peas.

- You being sarcastic?
- A bit.

I've just had my fill recently of people
speaking to me in a mean-spirited way.

Sorry.

What happened to the cat?

Taken to a home,
when I got put on remand.

- You'll be able to get it back?
- Her. She's been adopted.

- Sorry. I didn't mean to...
- That's all right.

Probably thought it was just a cat.

Mike was the same. He was allergic.

He said we could never move in together
if I kept a cat. My previous cat.

You got rid of it?

Well, I thought he would move in.

- You must hate him for it.
- Like you said,

it's just a cat.

I didn't say that.

Well, I'm um... I'm home,

semi-free... and you've got wine.

I thought it would take the edge off.

Yep, you thought right.

- Do you want one?
- Better not.

Well... if you don't drink it, I will.

Can't jail me for that, can they?

Cheers.

Prasad's not dead.

He's in a bad way,
but there's every chance he'll talk.

Good.

I really better leave you to settle in.

Thanks.

We have on record your dying declaration,

made when you were under
the hopeless expectation of death,

testifying to the fact
that you carried out the ambush

in concert with DC Jeremy Cole...

and under the orders
of Deputy Chief Constable Michael Dryden.

Now, is all this true?

Whether it's true or false is irrelevant.

It was obtained under duress,
so it's inadmissible in court.

We've got a pile of evidence
that is admissible.

Kidnap, attempted murder,
murder, conspiracy,

perverting the course of justice,

sexual activity with a child.

You are going down for a long time, fellow.

And I'm looking at three muppets
who know I'm their best witness.

Jesus.

Let's talk about this 15-year-old girl.

Carly Kirk. We have witnesses telling us
that you were her boyfriend.

You mopped up the DNA control samples
from her foster parents' home

so her body couldn't be identified.

That your idea, Manish?
Or was it Dryden's?

Did Dryden kill her?

I request immunity from prosecution
and enrolment in a Witness Protection program.

Look, we have you on tape,
at a City Hall function,

with Dryden and Carly Kirk.

Immunity.

What were the three of you
doing there together?

Immunity.

Steve, there's something you need to see.

This was found in the boot of Prasad's
private car, under the spare wheel.

The night we're interested in is the 16th
of August, the night of the driving offence.

Carly Kirk.

He must have left the reception with her.

Keep going.

Got the bastard.

Open those last files.

We've got Prasad's dying declaration
that Dryden set up the ambush.

- Now we've got the motive.
- These photos were also found.

This appears to be Carly Kirk's body before
it was buried under the industrial unit floor.

Good work.

Good work. Yeah.

There's just one thing I don't understand.

If Prasad had these,
in my mind that makes him

part of the effort to blackmail Dryden.

So are you saying he changes sides,
does Dryden's bidding and sets up the ambush?

Until we get the CPS to agree the terms
of Prasad's immunity, we're stuck.

And we're stuck on Dryden
without Prasad's testimony.

There's too many ifs and buts.

We need to fill in the gaps with Dryden.

We'll pass the evidence threshold, sir.

We can't do much more
without arresting him.

We would've done if he weren't the DCC, eh?

Yeah.

Do it.

Sir.

What's going on?

Would you come with us, please, sir?

- Where?
- We have an arrangement with East Midlands.

Superintendent Hastings felt that was
the most sensitive way to proceed.

Work, love.
Give us a minute.

Please.

I'm not gonna make this easy for you.

Michael Dryden, you're to
accompany us for questioning.

We're not arresting you at this time
but if you do not comply,

then we will be forced to arrest you.

Get home, the pair of you.
Past your bedtime.

We're not going anywhere, sir...

unless you're coming with us.

Michael Dryden, I am arresting you.

You do not have to say anything
but it may harm your defence

if you fail to mention, when questioned,
something you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say
may be used in evidence.

- Hiya.
- Hi.

- Do you want a drink?
- No.

No. Sit down, love.

Is everything OK?

Um...

About the cruise.

I got ahead of myself.

You got my hopes up.

Why, if you couldn't follow through?

It was to do with work.

I had to do the right thing.

OK.

Well, as long as you
got to do the right thing...

that's OK, then.

Thanks to sterling work by one of this force's
most highly-specialised units,

the two gunmen responsible for

the 5th of September ambush
are now in our hands.

This is a momentous day
for this police force,

for the rule of law...

and, most importantly,
for the grieving families...

of our four fallen comrades.

Format of this interview
is the same as with any other suspect.

You no longer have the right to be questioned
by an officer at least one rank superior.

Interview with Michael Edward Dryden
in the presence of his solicitor

by DS Arnott, DC Fleming.

May I begin, sir?

I've been in custody for eight hours.

You'd better get a move on.
Clock's ticking.

In respect of the night of the 5th of September,
the night of the ambush,

you received a phone call from DI Denton.

- We've covered this.
- One question requires further examination.

Prior to the call, what was your relationship -
if any - with DI Denton?

Two things. One, there was no relationship.

Two, this lies outside the parameters
of the investigation.

We're at liberty to investigate
any connection to the ambush,

its conspirators
and its alleged conspirators.

May I continue, sir?

- Apparently you may.
- Did you know her?

Yes, we worked together in Crime Analysis,

a six-month posting, about five years ago.

DI Denton was on duty that night,
covering for Inspector Joseph Barlow.

Inspector Barlow was invited by you
to attend a Crime Executive seminar.

By my office. Not by me.
The Crime Executive meets once a month.

We regularly invite officers of all ranks
and specialisations.

If Barlow hadn't been there,

he would have been the duty inspector
the night of the ambush, not Denton.

The names come up on a list.

Barlow wasn't cherry-picked.
It's a coincidence.

- But as a result of your invitation...
- It's a coincidence.

An unfortunate one. Move on.

On the call from DI Denton,
you addressed her as Linda.

Did I?

According to Denton,
that's what you called her.

I don't get where you're going with this.

One theory would be that you were trying
to conceal to your wife the call from DI Denton.

- It'd be wrong.
- According to Denton's statement,

when you worked together, your relationship
went beyond the purely professional.

First half-baked theories, now innuendo.

You must want to face a suit
for wrongful arrest.

- You deny an affair with Lindsay Denton?
- I do.

You deny spending nights together
at her residence and the Queen's Arms hotel,

among other places?

I strenuously deny an affair
with Lindsay Denton.

An affair isn't necessarily
the same as sexual relations.

Have you had sexual relations
with Lindsay Denton?

I need a definition of "sexual relations".

If I may, sir.

For the purpose of this investigation,

a person engages in sexual relations

when the person knowingly engages
and receives or causes...

contact with the genitalia, anus, groin,

breast, inner thigh
or buttocks of any person

with an intent to arouse
or gratify sexual desire.

"Contact" means intentional touching,
either directly or through clothing.

I shagged her a couple of times.
She was a bunny-boiler and I moved on.

Obviously, she wanted there
to be more to it.

Ma'am, if you'd kindly refer to
Document 3 in your folder,

you'll see signed authority to access
your client's telecommunication records.

I see Superintendent Hastings' signature.

Sir, if you'd kindly refer to Document 4
in your folder,

you'll see said records
relating to the 16th of August of this year.

- I see them.
- You'll see a call was made

at 9:33pm, from your mobile phone,

lasting approximately 20 seconds.

Do you recognise the number
receiving the call?

No.

This mobile phone is registered
to Lindsay Denton.

- I made that call.
- What was said in that call?

It was a long time ago.

Denton's statement said
you sounded distressed.

- Why were you distressed?
- I'm sick of her bullshit!

I called Lindsay
because she'd been following me.

Just when I think she's got the message,
there she is again.

Could be a week, or a month,
but she turns up and it starts all over again.

You're alleging she's a stalker, sir?

That's exactly what I'm alleging.

She knows she can get away with it
because I won't let her have her say about "us".

My wife having to listen to that!

What way did she
allegedly stalk you that night?

I'm not saying she was there that night.

I'm just saying she had a habit
of turning up and hassling me.

- Are you sure about that?
- Yes.

- Witnesses?
- Let me tell you about Lindsay Denton.

She's too smart to let there be witnesses.

She gets your phone records, DC Fleming.

Superintendent Hastings,
she gets his financial records.

DS Arnott, she followed you and took
compromising photos. Did you see her?

Were there any witnesses?

You want to watch her.
She's manipulative and conniving.

Can't trust a word she says.

Can we be clear?
You accept the phone record as accurate?

As I've said.

I'd be grateful, sir,
if you'd refer to Document 8 in your folder.

Document 8 is a transcript of part of
a previous interview your client gave us

under Regulation 15 Notice.

A complaint was made regarding an SP30.

A vehicle registered to Mrs Helen Dryden
was flashed by a speed camera

and a week later,
Traffic received notice that you were driving.

From the transcript, DCC Dryden:

"I was driving. Helen was home.

I drove back towards town to buy some
beer and wine from the off-licence,

I changed my mind and went home."

Said offence took place
on the evening of the 16th of August.

Your mobile phone record places you
miles away from the speed camera,

making a call to DI Lindsay Denton.

You weren't driving that car.

It says so...

here.

Virtually my whole marriage
I've worked long hours.

It's taken a toll.

That night, Helen was at an AA meeting.

She was worried it would get out
if the speeding charge was taken further.

She made out I was driving
and posted the form.

By the time she told me, it was too late.

I hoped no-one would ever find out

but some arsehole leaked it
all over the papers.

She was ashamed
she was attending those meetings.

I'm the one that should be ashamed.

We have information that your wife
had confided her driving offence to friends.

She had a clean licence,
no chance of being banned.

We don't think that was
a good enough reason for her to lie.

The only reason would be
to provide you with an alibi,

or for you to seize
the opportunity to create one.

I didn't fill in that form.

If I happen to know
it was my wife that did so,

I have no intention
of testifying against her.

The lawyers will have a field day.
The real villain in all this

is whatever toe rag leaked that story
to bring me down,

because the politicians and the PCC don't like
me telling the truth about service cutbacks.

Why are you talking about
service cutbacks, sir?

- To get you to open your eyes, son.
- They're open.

If you weren't driving your wife's car,
what were you doing?

- I've answered you. We're done here.
- We're not.

- Where were you that night?
- No comment.

Document 10.

Here's a map showing
the mobile phone cell

from which your call
originated that evening.

DS Manish Prasad and DC Jeremy Cole

carried out the ambush on September 5th.

Were you meeting with them?

What is this? Are you insane?

Look in your folder. Document 11.

Evidence from DCS Hargreaves' team

re the vehicle used by DS Jayne Akers
during the ambush.

Item 14.

Mobile magnetic radio tracking device.

There was a lump on Akers' vehicle
that allowed the gunmen to track her.

This evidence was withheld from AC-12.

You knew this but you let us make a case
against Lindsay Denton regardless.

Why did you withhold the evidence?

The investigations were separate.
It felt the right way to go.

I didn't keep track of
every piece of evidence myself.

You were happy for your alleged stalker
to be charged and remanded,

for her to take the blame
for something she didn't do.

- You set her up.
- She's the one out for revenge.

She's out to get me.
She's using you and you've fallen for it.

- Where were you that night?
- Don't go down this road. It doesn't end well.

You have the balls to challenge me?
Tick-tock.

As you know, sir, you can be held in custody
for a maximum of 36 hours.

After which, you'll either
be charged or released.

We thank you for your cooperation
and we intend to continue.

Document 13.

Document 13.

This is a transcript from a statement
you gave to the press on August 9th.

In it, you express disapproval for,
in your words...

"Repugnant offenders who should have
their immunity from prosecution taken away."

One such offender being John Thomas Hunter.

Aka Tommy Hunter, the protected witness.

We have Hunter on tape,
stating his intention to blackmail you.

For the tape, I'm presenting the suspect
with photographs entered in evidence.

Evidence number H86734 - D.

Do you recognise the man in this photograph?

It's... me.

- Speak up for the tape.
- It's me.

- And the girl?
- Don't know.

For the tape, I'm presenting the suspect

with photographs entered in evidence,

evidence number H86734 - A to C - E to K.

That's you and the female.

Plainly.

What's happening in these photographs?

- Who's the girl?
- I don't know.

You appear to know her well in these photos.

- "Appear" to.
- This is Carly Kirk.

She was seen working
as part of the catering team

at the reception at City Hall
on the 16th of August.

Carly Kirk was 15 years old.

I...

No, um...

- She looked older.
- How old? 18?

Carly Kirk was a vulnerable young girl,
groomed by DS Manish Prasad.

You worked with Prasad in Vice.

Here you are together.

Did Prasad provide you
with young women for sex?

Absolutely not.

Maybe not.

But he knew what you liked.

Did an offence take place
between you and Carly Kirk,

namely sexual activity with a child,

under the Sexual Offences Act 2003?

It's not what it looks like.
She never got started.

I... I came to my senses.

Why did you let it get that far?

Oh, why do you think?

Well, I'm not an old perv, so tell me.

I was tempted, for a moment,

and then I chucked her out of the car.

We believe these photos were used
by John Thomas Hunter to blackmail you.

- Hunter was the target of the ambush.
- Did you set up the ambush?

No, I never knew about Hunter
and this blackmail.

You turned the tables on Hunter,
had him silenced.

That is not something I would do.
I'm not a criminal.

Well, according to these photographs,
you are.

What does the girl say
is happening in these photos?

What?

For the tape, I'm presenting
the suspect with photographs

H86734 - I to P.

The point is who she was last seen with
before she disappeared.

- No, wait.
- She was murdered.

- Do you know who murdered her?
- No.

- Did you murder her?
- No.

- Do you know who strangled her?
- No.

- Did you? Her teeth were ripped out.
- No.

Her face and finger pulps were burnt off
using a blowtorch.

- Do you know who did that?
- No.

- Did you do that to her?
- No!

While you've been in custody, there's been
a search of your residence and vehicle

under Section 18
of the Police And Criminal Evidence Act.

Our people tried to find clothes
that you were wearing in these photographs.

Why didn't they find any?

It was that... Don't know.

Because you disposed of them to remove
any trace of this girl's DNA and clothes fibres.

No.

I... I must have um... I must've had a clear-out
and given them to the charity shop.

Same with your vehicle.

A check reveals
you had the car valeted the next day.

Steam cleaned.

I didn't... I didn't want
my wife finding anything...

.. smelling the girl's cheap perfume.

You admit taking measures
to conceal evidence you were with her?

Cos I got how incriminating it would be.

Funny, that.

You were the last person to see Carly Kirk
before she disappeared.

The last person to see a girl who was later
found buried under the industrial unit.

- There's no evidence I did it.
- Look at these photos!

You had Tommy killed to silence him
and you needed to kill Carly, too.

You've got nothing connecting me
to the body.

Your career is over, sir, possibly your marriage,
too. Why keep up the lies?

I'm not a criminal.
I'm an honest man.

You instigated a conspiracy
that led to the deaths of four police officers!

The only conspiracy is against me!

Hastings! I know you're out there.
You're behind this.

Did they bribe you?

Get you out of a mess you made for yourself?

Yeah, well, that's all gonna come out.

You're finished.

You're finished!

Empty threats, sir.

Michael Edward Dryden,

I hereby inform you
that the senior investigating officer,

Superintendent Hastings, will be submitting
your case file to the Crown Prosecutor

for the purpose of seeking authority
to charge you with the following offences.

Murder. Conspiracy to murder.

Perverting the course of justice.

Sexual activity with a child.

I'm innocent.

Someone is setting me up.

Interview terminated.

- DI Denton's medical records.
- Thank you.

Heads up, you lot.

The detective is believed to have worked
in Witness Protection

and cannot be named
due to reporting restrictions.

Police have conducted
a lengthy hunt for gunmen

described as wearing motorcycle clothing.

Two suspects have been captured...

.. has thrown up another twist

with the unexpected arrest
of a new suspect earlier today.

No official statement has yet been released,

however, unconfirmed sources
allege that the suspect

is Deputy Chief Constable Mike Dryden.
