Armed police!

Shoot over the suspect's body
in the direction you'd have fired

if you'd have actually managed to
get here in time.

Jesus!

We're in this together. Best way.

You shot that fellow in cold blood

- while your wee mates stood by and watched!
- What was that?

- Interview's finished, Danny.
- I'm not. - Good.

Neither are we.

You know why I've been appointed -
to ensure that anti-corruption

inquiries don't get pulled
apart in court.

Don't try playing the big man.

We both know you're not up to it.

She definitely does.

You need me to make the hard choices
for you,

because I see what's inside you.

Jelly.

Putting Kate into an AFO role is a
whole level of jeopardy

above a normal undercover...
I can handle it.

Is that the file on the suspect
shot by Waldron? Yeah.

We need an unredacted file.
Leave it to me.

You didn't know the suspect.

No. Ronan Murphy.
The suspect's name.

Don't remember me?

The only thing with Ronan,
it was over too fast.

'If there's something bigger here,
Danny,

'you don't want to be the one
left carrying the can.'

'You better come up here,
skipper.' On my way.

Shot fired! Shot fired!

What's he saying? What's he saying?!

Stay with me, Danny. Danny! Danny!

'..Abbott's Lane. One
officer seriously wounded. GSW.'

Come on, guys.

Come away. Let them in.

Come on, Kate.
Let's leave them to it.

Let me in.

Weak pulse, right carotid.

Let's get suction on,
secure the airway...

What the hell happened in there?

Still in shock, guv.

I just need a couple of minutes
to get my head round it.

Still making sense of it, guv.

Get them to the station.

You too, Francis.

Maintaining pressure on
left submandibular GSW.

DS Arnott, AC-12.

Is he talking?
I need to talk to him.

The incident took place
inside the bedroom,

so it's off-limits
except to preserve life.

Single GSW to the neck.
Sinus rhythm,

but BP's in his boots.
Sats dropping.

Is he going to make it?

Stand by, everyone.

You need to fill in your pocket
books, then there'll be a debrief.

Before you do anything, you'll be
walked through it all by Legal.

Any news on Danny yet?

Sinus bradia. He's gone asystolic.

Let's get him in.

OK, we're losing him.

I've got asystole on the monitor
and no output. Fluids wide open.

- Off vent and bag him.
- Start CPR. Adrenaline 1mg.

Four cycles of CPR given, we've had
no output with chest compressions,

no carotid pulse,
asystole on the monitor.

Pronounce life extinct 08:34.

Thanks, everybody. Sorry about that.

We need to leave everything as is
for the coroner.

Disconnect monitoring, oxygen...

Don't touch anything else in case
we contaminate...

So is anyone going to tell me
what actually happened?

Jesus Christ, Kate.

- There was a struggle.
- Who with?

We were all involved.

Danny had his firearm out
and it just went off.

I didn't hear a struggle.
You were downstairs. Jesus!

And from downstairs,
I didn't hear a struggle.

By the time I got upstairs, not one
of you was giving Danny first aid.

What did Danny say to you?

He whispered something to you,
what did he say?

- I'm not sure what he meant.
- No, I know, but what did he...

What did he actually say?

Just cos you didn't hear a struggle
doesn't mean there wasn't one.

Why didn't one of you help Danny?

He was lying on the floor,

- he'd been shot and there was blood everywhere.
- We were in shock!

What, you couldn't lift a finger?
Couldn't call for help?

Look, do we have to talk
about this right now?

All I can see in my head is Danny
just lying there, bleeding out, man.

- What was your RT about?
- What RT?

- You radioed Danny telling him to come up.
- Did I? - Yeah.

You said, "Better come up here, skipper."

I'll have to hear the recording.

You were back-to-back on two,
so there is no recording.

Can you just...stop?

You're doing my head in.

You know, if I'm going to go along
with this,

I need to know what
I'm covering for.

Fine.

The ballistics will say what
really happened in that bedroom.

Yeah, you'd think.

Time, gaffer? I say they had plenty.

- DC Francis.
- Sir.

Right. Let's get straight down to
brass tacks.

How did Sergeant Daniel Waldron
meet his death?

- He died in the ambulance, sir.
- You know exactly what I mean.

Danny Waldron shot himself, sir.

Danny put the gun to his own head.

We were trying to help him.

But we, we couldn't get the gun off
him and the firearm discharged.

By the time I entered the room,

Danny was already bleeding
profusely.

- Did you administer first aid?
- Kate...

Erm...Victor Charlie 55

and she ran in and tried to
control the bleeding

until the paramedics arrived.

So you didn't administer first aid?

Well, you hope you know what
to do in them situations,

until it comes to it.

Uh-huh.

Image 297. A ballistic simulation
of the bullet's trajectory.

It appears the fatal shot was fired
in a position

close to Sergeant Waldron's chest
and aimed upwards.

- That how it happened, Constable?
- Yes, sir.

Now, forensics detected firearms residue
on your hands, Victor Charlie 54,

and the hands of your mates,
Victor Charlie 52 and 53, so...

that would all seem to fit.

Well, case closed.
We can all knock off early.

There is an alternative
explanation as to why you

had your hands on that gun.

Well, as I said, sir,
we were trying to get it off him.

You weren't trying to force that
firearm under Waldron's chin?

That's a horrible accusation.
We tried to save Danny.

- Who grabbed the gun first?
- Harry did, sir. Sorry.

Victor Charlie 54.

I didn't even know that Danny
had drawn his gun

and the next minute,
Harry's wrestling him for the gun

and he's shouting, "Danny, no!"

And he's calling for me
and Rod to help him!

The three of us ended up
fighting over the gun.

We did everything we could to try
and stop him, we just couldn't.

- Did he make any kind of statement?
- He tried to say something.

What did he say?

I couldn't make it out, sir.

Now, Daniel Waldron,
as you know, was

involved in the shooting of a
suspect during Operation Damson.

You and Victor Charlie 52
and 53 were on his team

and witnessed what really happened.

Was Danny coercing you into
corroborating his version of events?

No. The tape - I am referring to
a transcript of an interview

with you on May 21st.

DI Cottan and I repeatedly ask you

if there are inaccuracies in your
account of Sergeant Waldron's

shooting of Ronan Murphy, to which
you replied, "I can't do this."

"I'm sorry. I can't do this."

"No way am I testifying
against Danny Waldron."

- No. - How's about Danny Waldron
scared you into covering for him

and then the three of you
club together

- and then you put an end to it?
- No, no.

That's just not what happened.
Will you please stop this?

- It's really upsetting!
- If Danny was threatening me,

I would've reported him
without a doubt.

All I had to do was report him.

He can be a difficult bastard,
yeah, but on an op,

you've got your skipper's back!

We were trying to save him,
not hurt him.

Danny Waldron killed himself, sir,
that's the honest truth.

Why, though? Given back his firearms
licence, he was operational again.

As far as Waldron was concerned,
the case against him was closed.

Who knows what was
going on in his head?

I was downstairs at the Abbott's Lane address and
didn't witness the incident at the upstairs bedroom.

Authorised firearms officer
Victor Charlie 52,

Victor Charlie 53,
Victor Charlie 54,

in my view, you have failed to give
a plausible account of the events

leading up to the death of
Sergeant Daniel Waldron

and, therefore, I am arresting
you on suspicion of his murder.

Now, you don't have to say anything,
however,

it may harm your defence if you
fail to mention something

under questioning that you later
go on to rely on in court

and, of course, anything you do say
may be taken down in evidence.

Look, I'm after a cell for a copper,
someone where no-one knows her.

I need to arrange custody
for a police officer at a station

where he's unknown.
Now.

I wonder if, on reflection,
you'd consider that perhaps you

should've run it by me first.

Four coppers went into a room,
only three came out alive.

That's what I considered.

They'd experienced a tragic
and shocking event.

They've admitted that they were
too traumatised to even remember

first aid.

Their Police Federation reps

and their legal advisers
are arguing that perhaps

they were sent back to work too soon
after the Damson shooting.

Their inspector's getting it in the
neck for not disbanding the squad

and, frankly, I think they've all
got a point.

But it was you who vetoed
their suspensions!

I mean, they're only back at work
because of you!

What steps have you taken to
evaluate Danny Waldron's

- mental state?
- Come on, you don't honestly believe he killed himself.

He had a history of
professional discord,

no stable relationship,
he certainly had risk factors.

And he did it just like that,
in front of his whole squad

- in the middle of an op.
- We're speculating.

What we know for sure is that if you
can't successfully charge them

in the next 36 hours, it will be
a hugely embarrassing climb-down.

My sincere advice is to take
a more circumspect approach.

Rescind the arrests in favour
of revoking their firearms permits

and confining them to desk duties
while enquiries continue.

What?

And that isn't a climb-down?

- Forget it.
- Scrap that.

Let's not fall out, Ted.
I'm here to help.

I should also emphasise
the importance of confidentiality.

We already have a legal suppression
order in place to restrict press coverage.

The PCC and the Chief Constable
are in complete agreement on this.

In the absence of hard facts around
Danny Waldron's death,

we don't want wild speculation
to affect public confidence.

I mean, if you and the PCC

and the Chief Constable are all
in agreement...

..who am I to argue?

Let there be no misunderstanding,
I do not care what the lawyer says,

we are going to investigate
that mob.

Sir.

Sir, I don't think we should close
the investigation into

Danny Waldron's background.
Hari Baines was right.

Danny had his demons
and I'd like to keep digging.

Thank you, sir.

Armed police! Armed police!

- Check upstairs.
- Armed police! Armed police!

All clear.

Sarge.

Hello, there.

No-one said anything about
Danny Waldron having a dog.

He didn't.

- Sorry, who's that?
- 'PC Maneet Bindra.'

- I've been posted.
- It's DS Arnott.

I'm trying to track the owner of a missing dog.
I've tried the number on its collar,

- but it's out of service. - If you would give
me the number, Sarge, I'll try and get you a lead.

077 009 00 381.

Just get it done.

Item reference SJ P2,
Daniel Waldron's handset.

I've got a firearm in here.
No-one enter.

We need someone firearms-trained to
make safe. Jonesy's downstairs.

Yes, sir.

Jonesy, guv wants you. Firearm.

- Sir?
- Yeah, all yours, Jonesy.

We seized a laptop and a phone.

We won't have any more info on
Danny Waldron's data files till the morning.

- Right. - Grab a seat.
- Cheers. - OK.

Illegal firearm.
No information on its origin.

Plus, the case and its contents.
Storage receipt - trying to trace.

Photo - looking into this and all.

And this.

- What was in it? - Nothing.
- What, an envelope with nothing inside?

Well, that's what the report says.

So, look, we need to have a quick
operational briefing. Right.

You're following leads
on Danny Waldron,

which means I'm after
Baines, Brickford and Kennedy.

- That sound about right to you?
- Yeah. Good.

As Kate's undercover
is on my side of the line,

is there any probs
if I look after liaison?

Erm...

What? I thought you'd be happy,
you know.

Avoid skulking about in dark alleys.

Yeah, it's... Kate and I have worked
together for three years now.

- Yeah, and you've got a partnership.
- Yeah. Exactly.

Look, I get it.

But like I said, it's on my side
of the investigation.

- All right? - All right?
- This will warm your cockles. - Oh, ta.

Steve never brought refreshments.

Look, there's not really much
to report. It's early days.

It's just, gaffer's got me on the
trail of the Three Wise Monkeys.

Right, well, now all three of them
are Speak No Evil.

Well, it's up to you to change all
that, ain't it? No pressure.

- No pressure
- What did Waldron say?

- When?
- You know, his dying words.

Word. He started to say, "Listen,"

and that was all he could get out.
Why?

Just curious.

I noticed your reaction
to me in the interview.

Did I say something that didn't
hit the right note?

Just...you're a brilliant liar,
that's all. Kind of unsettled me.

- Well, thanks for the drink. - Any time.
- Night, Dot. - Night.

- Arnott.
- It's Maneet, Sarge. Sorry to bother you

but that out-of-service number
relates to a discontinued account.

The dog owner must not have updated
the information on the collar.

It's a Linus Murphy.
Lives locally.

- Did you say Murphy?
- Yes, Sarge.

Right, yeah. Text me the address
and organise some armed backup.

Will do, Sarge.

Work.

It's all right.

- Love ya.
- Love you, too.

Armed police!

Anyone home?

Found your dog.

Check upstairs.

Don't.

Don't come in.

Call for forensic deployment.

Keep checking for other casualties.

Sir. All right?

There's evidence of prolonged
torture. Cause of death isn't clear.

Cutting his head off
can't have helped.

- Lack of blood from the neck means...
- Joke.

I'm a bloody detective inspector.

I can tell he was
decapitated postmortem.

Can't have been to conceal his ID.

I mean, the premises are full of
evidence confirming who he is.

Going through the findings
in Danny Waldron's flat,

the receipt relates
to a storage company.

Danny left something for us to find.

I'm liaising with
the company to find out

- which of their facilities the receipt originates from.
- Good.

Danny Waldron's
telecommunications history

is very quiet in the days
leading up to his death.

There's only one contact
that stands out.

A call from a mobile lasting
only two seconds

and then a text message
from this same mobile number.

Got ID on the contact?

The mobile service provider has
disclosed the registered user.

I'm just crosschecking
with the DVLA to see

if the driving licence photocard
matches the selfie.

Well done. Well done.

The hard drive of
Danny Waldron's work computer

hasn't revealed
anything suspicious as yet.

The same goes for
the domestic laptop we seized

and I'm still trying
to trace this photo.

Good work.

Let me know when you've got
the info on the storage facility.

All right? Must be nice having all
this extra energy to work off.

Is that supposed to be funny?

Look, I've swerved desk duties

but AC-12 are going to keep
after all of you, me included.

We can't run away from them.

Really?

Is that why they've had to
back off arresting us?

That's cos they haven't
got enough evidence yet.

- That'll change when they know
about Hari's radio call. - Yeah?

Well, the only way they'll know
about that is if you tell them.

Or Hari does.

He seems pretty nervous to me.

We went into the room,
there was no-one there.

We had to get a steer on whether
to look for firearms

or to call in for a search team.

Didn't sound like that to me.

Hari said, "Better come up here,"
like there was trouble.

- That put Danny on edge, so he drew his firearm.
- OK, so?

So, someone was entrapping Danny.

You know something, Kate?

You don't know a thing.

DS Arnott. We spoke on the phone.

Got this receipt here.

Can you step back, please?

Oh, it must have made a right whiff.

Yeah.

- Sir?
- Yeah.

Looks like this is
Linus Murphy's missing head,

although we're just
waiting on full forensics.

And the postmortem?

Report came through earlier.

Multiple serious cut and gouging
wounds to the chest, abdomen,

genitals and anus. The cause of
death was internal haemorrhaging

due to a pelvic fracture.

No prints or fibres were found
on the implements or the body

or at the premises,

therefore it's still not possible
to pin the murder on Danny Waldron.

However, the photograph shows
Danny Waldron as a teenager

and facial recognition software
gives a 99.5% likelihood

this man is a young Ronan Murphy,

the suspect shot by Danny Waldron
during Operation Damson.

What, they knew each other?

And this person bears
a strong resemblance

to Linus Murphy's severed head.

Danny knew him too.

What the hell are they both doing
in a photograph with Waldron?

I'll update you when
I've got more facts, sir.

Now, there's nothing
inside the envelope

but I believe that's because Danny
Waldron met his death prematurely.

I mean, all these mementos would
seem to be clues to his activities.

I reckon, at some point he intended

to include something
more in the envelope.

Makes sense.

Yes?

The ID checks out
on Danny Waldron's last contact.

Rachel O'Connor.

Thanks, Maneet.

Good work, Steve. Carry on.

Yeah.

Nice one.

May I ask what is, or was,
your relationship with

Sergeant Danny Waldron?

We met on a night out.

He was with a bunch
of his police mates.

Analysis of Danny's
phone records reveals

a call from your mobile phone to
his lasting a couple of seconds.

That was the night we met.

I was giving him my phone number.

Sorry to pry but it might
help our investigation to know

the extent of your relationship.

We had a couple of drinks
and he walked me home.

He didn't come inside.

Thank you.

You sent him a text message?

A couple of days later.

I hadn't heard from him.

When did you see him again?

I didn't.

Did he seem troubled to you,

or concerned about
something in particular?

No.

We were having a good time.

I was disappointed
he never got back to me.

Why?

He seemed very lonely.

I thought he needed
to make a connection.

Seems like I was wrong.

You're not wrong.

How is he? Is he OK?

Very sorry, miss.

A few days ago, Danny Waldron
was killed in the line of duty.

Hi, this is Sam.
Please leave a message.

Hi. I'm working late.
I just wanted to say...

..I'm lucky to have you.

See you when I get home.

Steve.

- There's really no point you being here.
- I know.

My lady, the prosecution applies
for public interest immunity

in order that Detective Sergeant
Arnott be exempted from testifying

in respect of this matter.

Disclosures of covert tactics
in open court will undermine

current and future
police operations.

Detective Sergeant Arnott conducted
an undercover investigation that

was, and is, of
the utmost sensitivity.

Some of this evidence was
the subject of the defendant's

successful appeal to be retried
for her original convictions.

The application is refused.

Sorry.

You tried. You're going
to have to face her again.

Stand away from the door.

You all right, Jacks?

Yeah, you all right, guv?

Are you feeling OK?

Yeah.

- It's just been a rough couple
of weeks, that's all. - Yeah.

Detective Sergeant Arnott,

please would you tell
the court how you came to be

involved in the investigation
surrounding the defendant?

I was and still am
a serving detective in AC-12.

On September 5, 2013,
there was an attempt on the life

of a protected witness,
John Thomas Hunter.

A police convoy was ambushed,

causing the deaths
of three police officers.

AC-12 was assigned to investigate
the possibility of police complicity

in the conspiracy
to assassinate Hunter

and our enquiries focused on
the officer who led the convoy

and was the sole survivor.

And this officer was the defendant?

Yes.

Former Detective Inspector
Lindsay Denton.

Thank you.

Detective Sergeant Arnott,

did you give evidence at
the defendant's original trial?

Yes, I did.

Was there any significant evidence
discovered at the defendant's home?

A hidden sum of cash was found.

Found where exactly?

In some items belonging to
the defendant's late mother.

Specifically the overnight case.

How did that make its way
to the defendant's bedroom?

I carried it up for her.

Why?

I was carrying out
an undercover operation

to investigate the defendant.

And who authorised
this undercover operation?

My commanding officer,
Superintendant Hastings.

When?

The operation was
authorised retroactively.

After you carried the case
belonging to the defendant's

late mother up to the bedroom,
what did you do?

I offered my sympathies
and I turned the conversation

towards the events surrounding the
conspiracy to murder Tommy Hunter.

Did you ever spend a night at
the defendant's house.

No, I did not.

Part of a night?

Yes.

Until what time?

Three, four in the morning.

If you are unsure of
the exact time, Detective Sergeant,

you may refer to your pocketbook.

You did record in your pocketbook

every time you stayed
with the defendant?

No. I was undercover.

If she sneaked a look at it,

she would have found out
what I was up to.

What were you doing
with the defendant

until three or four in the morning?

Talking.

My undercover operation was designed
to win the defendant's trust.

You were endeavouring to create
a close personal relationship

- with the defendant.
- No.

Only to create the appearance
of a close relationship.

I was working.

Are there any specific
operational rules

associated with
an undercover operation

with respect to the closeness
of such a relationship?

- Yes.
- Would a sexual relationship

be acceptable during
an undercover operation?

Under current guidelines, no.

Was that the reason you didn't seek

authorisation for your
undercover operation?

My lady, we've already established

that the operation was
authorised retrospectively.

Move on, Miss Hepburn.

How many times were you alone
with the defendant in her home?

About a dozen.

At this time, was the case
against the defendant going well?

It was work in progress.

But you needed a key piece
of evidence to crack the case.

My job is to find
any and all evidence.

Would you please remind the court...

who found the cash?

A forensic search team.

Led by whom?

Me.

No further questions.

Is it true?

- What?
- Don't.

No.

I didn't have sex with her.

- But?
- But nothing.

- Nothing?
- No.

Right.

We've both had relationships,
you just as much as me,

and I don't dredge up
your old boyfriends.

- None of them were suspects.
- It was before we met.

You're protesting a lot for
someone who didn't shag her.

Because I did stuff back then.

I'm different now.

I only want to be with you.

We good?

Yeah.

I can guarantee you 110% that none
of my people would plant evidence.

They know I would
throw the book at them,

followed by the bookshelf.

I know you would, Ted.

Maybe this will cheer you up.

Peace offering.

An unredacted file on Ronan Murphy,

the suspect shot dead
by Danny Waldron.

I have been shifting
heaven and earth.

Now you don't have to.

Thank you, Gill.
Thank you very, very much.

Ted, people are gunning for AC-12.

I'm just trying to make sure

they get as little
ammunition as possible.

Well, I appreciate
your efforts, of course.

I've got a table booked across town.

A girlfriend's cancelled on me,
if you want to take the edge off.

Erm...

No, I think I'd better
go home to the wife.

But thanks for the file.

Is this really the way
you want it to go?

Hari and Jackie are leading
you up the garden path.

Nobody's doing nothing.

This was a new posting for me
and look what I've walked into.

- It's doing my head in, mate.
- How do you think I'm feeling?

It must be ten times worse for you.

You'd think better of Jackie,
wouldn't you?

The little looks,

the waterworks.

If I can see there's something
going on between you two,

I can't be the only one.

You're just putting two and two
together and coming up with 400.

First one to come clean to AC-12,

they always get off the lightest.

If it isn't going to be you
then maybe it'll be me.

What did he say before he died?

- I don't know. I couldn't work it out.
- Bollocks.

Let's just say,
I know what's going on.

This won't just be
your career up the spout,

this'll be a long stint inside.

Plenty of time to wonder
if covering for Hari and Jackie

was your smartest move.

And prison's such
a lovely place for a copper.

Hari.

All right, bud.
Give a bloke some peace, will you?

This is getting out of hand.

We need to talk.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Not here, though, all right? I'll...

I'll figure out a place and a time.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Sir, I've got all the forensics
in on Linus Murphy.

And?

The head's been formally
identified as Linus Murphy's

based on DNA and dental records,

and matched to the body found
at Linus Murphy's address.

Forensic examination of the head

has also provided the missing
link to Danny Waldron.

Cells in the mouth
that match Waldron's DNA.

Cells?

Semen cells.

Well, now we know why he wanted
to chop the head off.

Well, you did right to question
Waldron's private life.

Mind you,

never had the man
pegged as a homosexual.

I'm not sure that's
necessarily true, sir.

The unredacted file on Ronan Murphy.

Thank you, sir.

I haven't read anything in it
that changes my understanding

of anything but take it away with
you, you might find something.

- On you go.
- Sir.

What's that, then?

Gaffer finally got us
the file on Ronan Murphy.

Dead end.

'Ey up, buddy.
How's it going, then? You all right?

I don't know about you, but I
ain't slept in God knows how long.

Yeah, I know.

Just trying not to
show it to the missus.

It's horrible, isn't it?

But it's the only way of getting
through to the other side.

What other side?

Well, AC-12 dropping
the investigation.

Going back to work and that.

Like nothing ever happened, eh?

Well, no, I didn't
mean it like that, did I?

Look...

..I've been talking to my rep

and the legal adviser.

I ain't told them anything.

I need this job.

I need my pension. People are
putting two and two together.

Wait, what are you on about?
What people?

Danny managed to say something.

Kate knows what happened.

- Yeah, but how can she, though?
- I don't know.

I don't know. But if anyone's
in the frame, it's me.

Listen, mate, look,
it's like I said...

If Kate knows about me
and Jackie and Danny...

I've got to come clean to AC-12.

The longer I leave it,
the worse it looks.

Mate, I've got a little 'un
and another one on the way.

It wasn't my idea to
lie through our teeth!

Yeah, but we had to lie,
though, didn't we?

Cos the truth makes us sound guilty,
and we're not guilty, are we?

It was us or him, wasn't it?

It wasn't us.

It was you!

Look where it's got us.

A career up the spout.

A stint inside?

Be a great place for a copper.

The defence calls Lindsay Denton.

I do solemnly, sincerely
and truly declare and affirm

that the evidence I shall give

will be the truth, the whole truth

and nothing but the truth.

Miss Denton, last year you
were convicted in this court

because 10 out of 12 jurors were
sure you'd conspired

in the murder of
a protected witness,

John Thomas Hunter.

Would you tell this jury whether
you were guilty of that crime?

No.

I had nothing to do with
the murder of Tommy Hunter.

We've heard from
Detective Sergeant Arnott

that one important item
of evidence against you

was a sum of approximately
£50,000 in cash found at your home.

To the best of your knowledge,
how was that evidence found?

I have full knowledge of how it was
found, as I was present at the time.

Detective Constable Kate Fleming
led me upstairs where a team of

forensic scene investigators,
led by Detective Sergeant Arnott,

were in the process
of searching my bedroom.

Detective Sergeant Arnott
remarked upon the fact I'd shown

a peculiar interest in
my mum's personal belongings.

Peculiar? In what way?

Detective Sergeant Arnott remarked
that I'd been particularly anxious

about Mum's things
not being returned to me.

Were you?

I was devastated by her death.

The thought of them being
lost was heartbreaking.

I kept them in that room
and I didn't even touch them.

I didn't even try to move them.
I just...

As long as they were there...

..somehow it felt to me
that my mum was there.

Are you OK to carry on, Miss Denton?

Yes.

You were recalling that
Detective Sergeant Arnott

was leading a forensic search.

He asked one of the forensic search
team to open Mum's overnight case.

And what was found in the case?

A large number of banknotes.

Had you ever seen
these banknotes before?

Never.

How did you react?

I was astonished, devastated,

confused.

And how did
Detective Sergeant Arnott react?

He didn't bat an eye.

He didn't seem surprised?

Or curious or triumphant?

No.

How would you describe
your relationship with

Detective Sergeant Arnott
up until that point?

I thought we'd become friends.

You became close?

Yeah.

An undercover officer is
forbidden from sexual relations

with a person that
they are investigating.

My lady, the investigating officer's
relationship with the defendant

has no bearing on the abundant
and powerful evidence against her.

My lady, an undercover officer
must abide by a code of conduct.

Failure to follow
that code of conduct

implies that there are other rules
he might be prepared to break.

I'll allow the question.

While undercover
and investigating you...

did Steve Arnott engage in sexual
relations with you?

On how many occasions?

Once.

I was very vulnerable.

Following my mum's death. And, eh...

he seemed like the only person
in the world who understood...

what I was going through. Sorry.

And, as a police officer,
what conclusion did you

draw from that regarding Steve
Arnott's relationship with you?

That, as sexual relations
are forbidden,

he couldn't be undercover or
investigating me any more.

How many times was
Steve Arnott in your house?

- I'd say a dozen. - But you were always
there at the same time, weren't you?

I wasn't sleeping very well
at night, sometimes I would

doze off on the sofa and wake up,

and a couple of hours
would have gone by.

And he'd been there the whole time?

- Yeah. - But you had no idea
where in the house he had been

or what he had been doing?

- No. - With access to your late
mother's belongings?

Yeah.

Thank you, Miss Denton.

- My Lady. - Yes, let's leave it
there for today. - All rise.

DS Arnott...

Shut the door.

Remain standing.

Did you have sexual relations
with a suspect

you were investigating
whilst undercover?

Lindsay Denton is going to say
anything to con the jury.

- Did you or didn't you?
- No, sir, I did not.

- If that's your answer...
- It is my answer, sir.

She claims that
when the money was found,

you didn't bat an eye -
is that correct?

- Yes.
- Why would that be, now?

The search team had established
the find

prior to Denton entering
the premises.

I ordered them to simulate making
the find in front of her.

To see her reaction.

You make the find, you show her -
there's your reaction there.

- You were showboating!
- Yes, sir.

I will give you "yes, sir".

The defence are using this to
discredit your work

and the work of this department!

Your team was bossing the game,
you went and gave away a penalty!

Get the hell out of here!

Superintendent Hastings.

Sir.

Sir.

Mother of God.

Who's in charge here?

I want a preview of the forensics...

It is with deep regret
that I inform you all...

..of the death of PC Rod Kennedy.

Rod's body was found
hanged at an industrial unit.

Early indications
are that he took his own life.

There will be a book
of condolence in the squad room

and we will send out the necessary
information for those of you

who want to send flowers, cards...

Is there anything I can do?

It'll be fine.

Here.

Did you have any idea he would do
something like that?

Did you?

This has gone too far.

- We need to talk.
- Jackie, it's late.

I'm not leaving.

- Everything all right?
- I was going to ask you the same thing.

Kate, I read your report.
You had nothing on Rod Kennedy.

The last thing that Danny said to me
before he died was "listen".

And that was all he could get out.

You weren't to know how bad
he would fall for the bluff.

That's why I'm asking if you're OK.

Just doing my job, mate.

Well done, Kate.

Rod and I were involved.

An affair?

Between two armed officers
serving side by side?

That is a serious
lack of professionalism, Constable.

Yes, sir.

We had to keep
the relationship hidden

or we would both have been disciplined.

And were you still involved with Rod Kennedy
at the time of his death?

No. We had broken up
a couple of months before.

Why?

Something happened between
me and Danny.

What happened between you and Danny?

It was a one-night thing.

Rod found out about it.
Him and Danny had a bust-up.

Danny was...

Danny was in the habit
of making remarks.

Undermining Rod. Rod was really
jealous, he couldn't handle it.

Why did Danny Waldron
draw his firearm?

I don't know. I mean,
we didn't do anything.

There was nothing to suggest
he was in any kind of danger.

So I can only imagine
he was spooked by summat.

Go on.

And that's when Rod went for him.

Rod grabbed Danny's gun
and the two of them

started wrestling with it.

And me and Victor Charlie 53,

we tried to get it off them both.

- And that's when it went off.
- So let's be perfectly clear, Constable.

You are now declaring

that PC Rod Kennedy killed
Sergeant Daniel Waldron?

Yes, sir.

Rod killed Danny.

Rod killed Danny.

Oldest trick in the book -
blame the dead bloke.

He killed himself, though. Fits
with him being the guilty party.

First there were three of them
sticking together, now there's two.

I've said it before
and I'll say it again.

Catching criminals is tough enough,
but catching coppers?

God give me strength.

We keep going, fellas.
We keep going.

Sir.

Sir.

- Hello?
- Bin the previous phone. Use this one for now.

You will have a new one
in a couple of days.

I made one mistake, man.

- One mistake and you keep making me pay.
- AC-12 went for it?

- Yeah.
- Don't be modest.

I heard you played them
like violins.

I had no prior information.

of the operation.

I had no prior information...of the
operation to move Tommy Hunter.

No prior information. No prior...

No prior knowledge,
I had no prior knowledge.

I had no prior knowledge of the
operation to move Tommy Hunter.

Every day I wish it had been
somebody else who'd taken that call.

Somebody else
who had to...

stand by and watch as their...

..fellow officers...

..were gunned down...

..and set alight.

I had no prior knowledge
of the operation.

No prior knowledge at all.
