Before Danny died, he tried to say something.

0:00:020:00:04

Now I reckon what he said was "list".

0:00:040:00:06

Got a firearm in here, no-one enter.

0:00:060:00:07

This programme contains scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.

0:00:070:00:11

Investigating former Chief Superintendant Patrick Fairbank

0:00:110:00:14

in respect of not adequately investigating

0:00:140:00:16

complaints of child sexual exploitation.

0:00:160:00:17

The things they did to us at Sands View...

0:00:170:00:20

It's OK.

0:00:200:00:22

Ma'am, I'm requesting authorisation on an undercover operation.

0:00:220:00:25

It would be against a fellow AC-12 officer.

0:00:250:00:28

DI Cottan set me up.

0:00:300:00:32

As far as the rope goes, he must have planted it there beforehand.

0:00:320:00:35

What happened with the postmortem? Weren't you supposed to organise it?

0:00:350:00:38

He knew forensics hadn't bothered testing the envelope.

0:00:380:00:41

I don't want to get caught between you and DI Cottan.

0:00:410:00:43

The Caddy is male, under 35.

0:00:460:00:49

A detective, a London or South East accent.

0:00:490:00:53

Sorry, gaffer, but the finger is pointing at one of our own.

0:00:530:00:56

I have a number of concerns regarding

0:00:590:01:01

DS Arnott's professional conduct.

0:01:010:01:03

He's been bearing a firearm around the office.

0:01:030:01:05

I have signed the firearm back in.

0:01:050:01:08

I am innocent, the question is...are you?

0:01:080:01:12

He's been accused of having an improper relationship

0:01:120:01:14

with a suspect, of planting evidence against said suspect.

0:01:140:01:17

I did not plant evidence!

0:01:170:01:19

We agree the best course of action is for you to be

0:01:190:01:21

suspended from duty until these matters can be addressed.

0:01:210:01:24

-SIM Card?

-It's all in there.

0:01:280:01:31

The incriminating item I've got on you, that's my only insurance.

0:01:330:01:37

-I need to know you've got my back.

-God, yeah.

0:01:400:01:43

He's hiding summat.

0:01:430:01:45

That lead on Steve, it looks like it's going to pan out.

0:01:450:01:48

He really did plant that money on Lindsay.

0:01:480:01:51

There's no list here, Steve.

0:01:510:01:53

If there's not, Lindsay is going to get what's coming.

0:01:530:01:56

'I thought it was Steve's car, until I saw the registration.'

0:01:580:02:01

I found Danny Waldron's list.

0:02:010:02:03

It didn't make sense for Danny to make a hard copy

0:02:030:02:05

of the original list that could be lost or destroyed.

0:02:050:02:08

He would make an online copy.

0:02:080:02:10

The VIPs who were abusing boys at Sands View.

0:02:100:02:13

TYRES SCREECH AND HORN BLARES

0:02:150:02:18

100 grand and you forget about all of this, that list included.

0:02:180:02:22

-Why don't you just take the money?!

-Because I'm a police officer!

0:02:230:02:27

-Do not send that message.

-Let's see what they will think...

0:02:310:02:36

when I bring in The Caddy.

0:02:360:02:37

How long is this going to take?

0:02:520:02:54

Patrick Fairbank,

0:03:000:03:02

some new information has come to light that we'd like to put to you.

0:03:020:03:04

PC Bindra.

0:03:040:03:06

Document 27 is a transcript of a professional tribunal

0:03:060:03:10

which took place on the 19th of September 1998,

0:03:100:03:14

in which Oliver Stephens-Lloyd recorded

0:03:140:03:16

he had submitted a list of names of abusers at Sands View.

0:03:160:03:19

Oh, not this list again.

0:03:190:03:22

I don't know anything about any list.

0:03:220:03:25

Where is this new information?

0:03:260:03:29

I think we're done.

0:03:330:03:35

Actually, if you would just keep your seat, please.

0:03:390:03:41

I think we are about to hear some new evidence, thank you.

0:03:410:03:45

For the tape, DC Fleming has joined the interview.

0:03:500:03:53

Kate.

0:03:550:03:56

For the tape, I am showing the interviewee a video capture,

0:03:560:03:59

item KMF-4.

0:03:590:04:02

Who is shown in item KMF-4?

0:04:020:04:04

I refused to take part in any video identification.

0:04:060:04:08

You did, which meant we were forced to use

0:04:080:04:11

a video capture from your previous interview.

0:04:110:04:13

And we are legally entitled to use this image

0:04:130:04:15

because your client was notified that he was going to be

0:04:150:04:18

questioned regarding an offence - misconduct in public office.

0:04:180:04:23

In accordance with paragraph five, Code D

0:04:230:04:26

of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, item KMF-4,

0:04:260:04:29

alongside eight other video captures

0:04:290:04:32

of unrelated, similar persons were shown

0:04:320:04:34

by an officer independent of this inquiry to a witness

0:04:340:04:37

who was a resident at Sands View Boys' Home in the 1990s.

0:04:370:04:40

This witness identified KMF-4 as showing one of the men

0:04:400:04:44

who sexually abused him.

0:04:440:04:46

These politicians and celebrities, they couldn't have got away with

0:04:490:04:54

this time and time again without the collusion of police officers.

0:04:540:04:58

I mean, I kept asking myself over and over again,

0:04:580:05:01

how could they turn a blind eye,

0:05:010:05:04

how could they allow these appalling things to happen to these children?

0:05:040:05:08

And of course, the answer is as plain as day.

0:05:080:05:11

They didn't turn a blind eye, they were in on it!

0:05:110:05:14

I'm going to take this.

0:05:240:05:25

This is a list of abusers.

0:05:370:05:39

Corroborating the names we've already heard from our witness.

0:05:410:05:44

Ronan Murphy, Linus Murphy...

0:05:460:05:48

..Dale Roach, Tommy Hunter...

0:05:510:05:55

..and Patrick Fairbank.

0:05:570:05:58

Patrick Fairbank, I am arresting you for aggravated indecent assault,

0:06:030:06:07

in that this offence occurred before May the 1st 2004...

0:06:070:06:12

..with a child or children...

0:06:130:06:16

under the age of 13...

0:06:160:06:18

..perverting the course of justice and misconduct in public office.

0:06:200:06:25

Sir.

0:06:350:06:37

Well done.

0:06:400:06:41

Well done, yourself.

0:06:420:06:44

Custody arranged at Polk Avenue.

0:06:570:06:59

You think you got me?

0:07:030:07:05

You haven't got a clue. I hope you like the outdoors

0:07:050:07:08

because you are going to be directing traffic

0:07:080:07:11

to the end of your sad little career.

0:07:110:07:14

Bitch.

0:07:580:07:59

'This is Lindsay Denton. Please leave a message after the tone.'

0:07:590:08:03

BEEP

0:08:030:08:04

Shit!

0:08:160:08:17

DS Arnott. Need to report the theft of my service vehicle. Taxi!

0:08:210:08:25

Yeah, 5... 5 Kings Gate Apartments. Yeah.

0:08:250:08:29

DS Arnott. I need the key to Lindsay Denton's room.

0:08:370:08:40

Mother of God.

0:09:340:09:36

'This is Lindsay Denton. Please leave a message after the tone.'

0:09:500:09:53

BEEP

0:09:530:09:55

I know you nicked my pocketbook, and I don't know where you are...

0:09:550:09:58

FLOORBOARD CREAKS

0:09:580:09:59

PHONE DISCONNECTS

0:10:010:10:03

-Police!

-Armed police!

0:10:040:10:06

-I'm AC-12!

-Don't move!

-I'm AC-12!

0:10:060:10:08

You! Keep your hands above your head. Down on your knees.

0:10:080:10:12

-Just calm down, I'm police.

-Stop talking and stay still!

0:10:120:10:15

My ID's in my jacket, I'm AC-12.

0:10:150:10:17

Stop talking and stay still!

0:10:170:10:20

Lose the phone.

0:10:200:10:21

-Get everyone out.

-All right, everyone out!

0:10:280:10:30

Got the wrong guy.

0:10:300:10:32

All clear, sir!

0:10:360:10:38

Dot?

0:10:450:10:46

Steven Arnott, I'm arresting you

0:10:480:10:50

on suspicion of murdering Lindsay Denton.

0:10:500:10:53

You do not have to say anything

0:10:530:10:54

but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned,

0:10:540:10:57

something you later rely on in court.

0:10:570:10:59

Anything you do say may be used in evidence.

0:10:590:11:01

-What's going on?

-You know. Keep your mouth shut till you get a lawyer.

0:11:010:11:04

I'm trying to do you a favour. Get him out.

0:11:040:11:07

DI Cottan, DS Arnott. You all right to book him in for me?

0:11:330:11:38

Need to take his clothes for forensics

0:11:380:11:40

before he goes in his cell.

0:11:400:11:41

Steven Arnott, I'm satisfied that your arrest is lawful.

0:11:410:11:45

I'm authorising your detention in this police station in order that we

0:11:450:11:48

can secure and preserve evidence in this investigation, and to obtain

0:11:480:11:51

evidence from you by questioning. I will also speak to an inspector

0:11:510:11:55

to authorise you being held incommunicado at this time,

0:11:550:11:58

delaying your right to have anyone told you're here,

0:11:580:12:01

or to make any calls.

0:12:010:12:03

Do you understand?

0:12:040:12:06

DS Arnott, can you account for your whereabouts between

0:12:090:12:12

0800 and 1200 hours on July 17th this year?

0:12:120:12:16

I was at home.

0:12:170:12:19

This would be your home address - Flat 5, Kings Gate Apartments?

0:12:190:12:23

Yes.

0:12:230:12:25

Who were you with?

0:12:250:12:27

Between those hours I was alone.

0:12:280:12:30

And your girlfriend, DS Samantha Railston, where was she?

0:12:310:12:35

Sam left early for work.

0:12:350:12:38

Around 0630.

0:12:380:12:40

I was alone in the flat but I made phone calls.

0:12:400:12:42

They'll prove where I was.

0:12:420:12:44

Document 3 in your folders.

0:12:460:12:48

Document 3 is a photocopy of item reference ASJ-3,

0:12:480:12:52

telecommunications record for mobile phone 07591152425,

0:12:520:13:00

registered to Steven Arnott.

0:13:000:13:02

Three calls are shown.

0:13:020:13:04

Can you tell us what was happening with these calls?

0:13:040:13:07

I'd realised Lindsay had stolen my pocketbook.

0:13:100:13:13

I called her from my flat, but it went straight to her voicemail.

0:13:130:13:16

I went to her approved premises to try and track her down

0:13:160:13:19

but she wasn't there, so I tried calling her again.

0:13:190:13:22

And the call to the AC-12 switchboard?

0:13:220:13:25

-To report the theft of my service vehicle.

-Thank you.

0:13:250:13:28

When was the last time you saw Lindsay Denton alive?

0:13:310:13:34

The night before. My flat.

0:13:360:13:39

Lindsay had a theory that Danny Waldron left

0:13:390:13:41

a list of abusers in a graveyard.

0:13:410:13:43

We were searching online burial records for a name that

0:13:430:13:46

might have been a memorable association for Danny.

0:13:460:13:49

She left my flat and I went to the graveyard alone.

0:13:490:13:52

Must have been while she was in my flat that she took my pocketbook.

0:13:520:13:55

At this time, myself and DI Cottan were carrying out direct

0:13:550:13:58

surveillance on Steve Arnott's flat,

0:13:580:14:00

authorised by Superintendant Hastings,

0:14:000:14:02

under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.

0:14:020:14:05

Noted.

0:14:050:14:07

We saw you and Lindsay split up.

0:14:070:14:09

And after you'd left, she looked like the cat who'd got the cream.

0:14:090:14:12

She sent you off on a wild goose chase while she went

0:14:120:14:14

-and cracked the case.

-Cos, actually, Danny had hidden the list online.

0:14:140:14:19

-She found the list?

-She did indeed.

0:14:190:14:23

You gotta hand it to her, she got the job done.

0:14:230:14:26

And she made a total mug of you.

0:14:260:14:28

Now, these phone calls we've been talking about,

0:14:290:14:32

they're all around noon onwards.

0:14:320:14:34

None of them corroborate you being in your flat before that time.

0:14:340:14:37

The proprietor of the internet caff,

0:14:390:14:41

now, she reckons she saw Denton leave around...11, 11.30.

0:14:410:14:46

She didn't see where Denton went or who she met,

0:14:460:14:48

and we've no information on her whereabouts

0:14:480:14:51

until her body was discovered at 12.30.

0:14:510:14:54

But you were at home all this time?

0:14:540:14:56

-Yes, sir.

-So what were you doing all this time?

0:14:560:14:59

-DS Arnott?

-I slept.

0:15:030:15:05

You had a kip? Seriously?

0:15:050:15:07

I'd been up most of the night.

0:15:070:15:09

You didn't think of calling her straightaway?

0:15:090:15:12

No, sir.

0:15:120:15:14

She'd sent you to this graveyard on a fool's errand,

0:15:140:15:16

stolen your pocketbook.

0:15:160:15:17

I'd have been after her like a shot.

0:15:170:15:20

You, you're stuck to your sofa watching Homes Under The Hammer.

0:15:200:15:23

I got home late.

0:15:260:15:28

Sam, my girlfriend, and I - we had a row.

0:15:300:15:33

I had some wine and I fell asleep on the sofa. I overslept.

0:15:330:15:36

As soon as I realised my pocketbook was gone, I took action.

0:15:360:15:40

Still, you were sorely pissed off with her, weren't you?

0:15:400:15:42

-DS Arnott is simply stating the facts.

-Oh, right.

0:15:420:15:45

So you weren't pissed off with her?

0:15:450:15:48

In the early hours of the 17th,

0:15:480:15:50

I followed Mr Arnott to the graveyard of St Barnabas Church.

0:15:500:15:54

In which he stated,

0:15:540:15:56

"If there's no list here

0:15:560:15:57

"then Lindsay's going to get what's coming."

0:15:570:16:00

Can you tell us what you meant by those words?

0:16:000:16:04

I was angry.

0:16:040:16:06

Angry with Kate. Angry with Lindsay.

0:16:070:16:10

I didn't MEAN anything.

0:16:100:16:11

But you do admit that you were angry with Lindsay?

0:16:110:16:14

Those words go way beyond angry.

0:16:140:16:16

I didn't kill Lindsay.

0:16:160:16:18

At her trial, Lindsay testified that

0:16:190:16:21

there was a sexual relationship between you.

0:16:210:16:24

The relevant section for the transcript is document 46.

0:16:240:16:28

I don't need a transcript - she was lying.

0:16:280:16:30

Data retrieval from Lindsay's mobile

0:16:300:16:32

resulted in detection of the following file -

0:16:320:16:34

item reference MKJ-32.

0:16:340:16:38

For the tape, I will now play MKJ-32.

0:16:380:16:42

STEVE: 'Is that OK?'

0:16:440:16:46

PANTING ON RECORDING

0:16:460:16:47

-LINDSAY:

-'Yeah.'

0:16:470:16:49

PANTING CONTINUES

0:16:490:16:52

'You OK?'

0:16:540:16:56

'Yeah.'

0:16:570:16:59

PANTING CONTINUES

0:16:590:17:04

RECORDING STOPS

0:17:040:17:06

You recognise the voices on this audio file?

0:17:060:17:09

DOT CLEARS THROAT

0:17:090:17:11

-Me and Lindsay.

-And can you tell us where the recording was made?

0:17:110:17:14

In her bedroom.

0:17:160:17:18

And were you aware at the time that this recording was being made?

0:17:180:17:21

-No, sir, I was not.

-As DS Arnott didn't give his permission,

0:17:230:17:26

the recording was illegal.

0:17:260:17:28

Still...it's not a nice thing to do to someone, though.

0:17:280:17:32

Just another thing she did to put a few more winds on your clock, eh?

0:17:320:17:36

Time and time again you denied any impropriety.

0:17:360:17:40

What you can't know is that we're both almost fully clothed

0:17:400:17:43

and the file's been abridged. If you'd had the opportunity

0:17:430:17:45

to continue listening you'd have heard

0:17:450:17:47

-that we stopped through mutual consent.

-Stopped? What?

0:17:470:17:52

There was some kissing. Some touching.

0:17:540:17:57

Lindsay became upset and I comforted her. Sir, I give you my word,

0:17:590:18:02

Lindsay Denton and I did not have sex.

0:18:020:18:06

Your word.

0:18:060:18:07

Whatever your version is of that audio file,

0:18:070:18:10

it sounds like you pair went way beyond the professional.

0:18:100:18:12

And then she used it to discredit your case against her.

0:18:120:18:16

Now, I don't know many blokes who wouldn't be angry about that.

0:18:160:18:19

And thanks to her accusations you are suspended, your career

0:18:190:18:22

potentially in ruins.

0:18:220:18:24

Now, for the tape - on screen is image 5.

0:18:270:18:31

Image 5 is a crime scene photograph taken at 12.45 on July 17th,

0:18:310:18:35

showing the body of Lindsay Denton.

0:18:350:18:37

0:18:370:18:39

-That's my car.

-Image 8 is a crime scene photograph showing the vehicle

0:18:390:18:43

in which Lindsay Denton's body was found.

0:18:430:18:45

It's a dark grey Volvo S60.

0:18:450:18:49

You agree it's your car?

0:18:490:18:50

As I've said, sir, I reported my vehicle stolen.

0:18:530:18:57

Document 6 in your folders.

0:18:570:18:59

Document 6 is a photocopy of item reference IKL-1.

0:18:590:19:04

IKL-1 is the log for service vehicles.

0:19:040:19:07

On July 1st you signed out service vehicle Foxtrot Juliet 1-4 Romeo

0:19:070:19:12

Charlie Zulu, and it was never signed back in.

0:19:120:19:14

You should've. The second you were suspended.

0:19:140:19:17

It's a perk of the job. Didn't want to give up the motor.

0:19:170:19:20

So, it's a matter of fact that this vehicle was in your possession

0:19:200:19:23

-at the time of the murder.

-The fact, sir, is someone stole the vehicle.

0:19:230:19:26

And you reported it stolen when?

0:19:260:19:28

In the call made to the AC-12 switchboard at 11.59.

0:19:300:19:33

Yeah, but Lindsay was last seen alive up to an hour earlier.

0:19:330:19:36

At the internet caff. Now, that is plenty of time for you to get home

0:19:360:19:38

-and report your car stolen.

-I reported the theft as soon as I realised.

0:19:380:19:41

The car must have been stolen earlier.

0:19:410:19:44

I see.

0:19:460:19:48

Document 7 is a copy of the pathologist's report following

0:19:500:19:53

a postmortem examination of Lindsay Denton.

0:19:530:19:55

The cause of death was a single gunshot wound to the head.

0:19:550:20:00

Image 6. Image 6 is a forensic photograph of item reference NJC-4.

0:20:000:20:05

Item NJC-4 is a bullet found lodged in the passenger-side trim

0:20:050:20:09

of service vehicle Foxtrot Juliet 1-4 Romeo Charlie Zulu.

0:20:090:20:13

NJC-4 has been identified as a 9x19mm Parabellum round.

0:20:130:20:18

Image 13.

0:20:180:20:20

Image 13 shows item reference SCS-9.

0:20:200:20:24

SCS-9 is a service-issue firearm, Glock 17 pistol,

0:20:240:20:28

serial number - November Mike 8-4-9-4-7-4-8.

0:20:280:20:33

The Glock 17 was found a short distance from the vehicle

0:20:330:20:36

containing the body of Lindsay Denton.

0:20:360:20:39

Document 11 in your folders - also on screen.

0:20:390:20:42

Document 11 is the firearms issue log from South Ferry armoury.

0:20:420:20:46

You'll see a highlighted entry on the morning of July 13th,

0:20:460:20:49

relating to said Glock 17, serial number November Mike 8-4-9-4-7-4-8.

0:20:490:20:55

Said firearm was never returned.

0:20:550:20:57

No. I returned my firearm a few days before Lindsay was murdered.

0:20:570:21:01

-Not according to these records.

-No. No.

0:21:010:21:04

I returned it. Ask them at the armoury, they'll confirm it.

0:21:040:21:08

It's here in black and white, son.

0:21:080:21:10

You always follow the regs when it comes to firearms?

0:21:100:21:13

DS Arnott was seen bearing a firearm within this building that did not,

0:21:150:21:19

in my view, meet satisfactory operational requirement.

0:21:190:21:22

On July 13th I gave DS Arnott a verbal warning that he was

0:21:220:21:26

in breach of Section 7 of the 1968 Firearms Act.

0:21:260:21:30

What forensics do you have linking me to the crime scene?

0:21:330:21:36

Your car, your gun - I'd say that's plenty.

0:21:360:21:39

Were my fingerprints on the gun?

0:21:390:21:42

There were no fingerprints found on the firearm at all.

0:21:420:21:44

-It appeared to have been wiped.

-Right. So no prints.

0:21:440:21:48

Lindsay Denton was shot at close range.

0:21:480:21:50

The vehicle interior shows a substantial blood spatter pattern.

0:21:500:21:54

Did you find blood particles on me?

0:21:540:21:56

At the time of Steve Arnott's arrest, his clothing was seized for forensic examination.

0:21:560:22:00

There were no traces of blood or gunshot residue detected.

0:22:000:22:03

Yeah, but anyone with half a brain, covered in blood

0:22:030:22:06

and gunshot residue, would know to dispose of his clothing.

0:22:060:22:08

-So where's this clothing?

-You tell us.

0:22:080:22:11

Why would I shoot Lindsay in my own car?

0:22:110:22:13

-I know the forensics would be totally incriminating.

-Correct.

0:22:130:22:16

-They are.

-So I wouldn't have done it!

0:22:160:22:17

You were at the end of your tether with Lindsay Denton.

0:22:170:22:20

She betrayed you, manipulated you, deceived you and, finally,

0:22:200:22:22

she discredited you. You weren't thinking straight!

0:22:220:22:25

So I used my service-issue firearm that I left at the scene?

0:22:250:22:28

And I used my registered service vehicle? I mean, that's just stupid!

0:22:280:22:31

You panicked. You left your bullet and the casing

0:22:310:22:33

and you didn't do a good enough job disposing of the gun.

0:22:330:22:36

Then you cobble together some story about your motor being nicked.

0:22:360:22:39

In fact, the only thing you didn't make a hash of

0:22:390:22:41

was the bloodstained clothing.

0:22:410:22:42

That's not what happened.

0:22:420:22:44

Image 22 shows item reference EDC-3, found in said service vehicle.

0:22:480:22:53

Can you tell us what item EDC-3 is?

0:22:530:22:56

My pocketbook.

0:22:560:22:57

-And is that the one stolen by Lindsay?

-Yes, sir.

0:22:570:23:00

So you went after her to get it back...things got out of hand

0:23:000:23:03

and in your panic you didn't even remember to take it.

0:23:030:23:06

I didn't take it because I wasn't there!

0:23:060:23:08

So you've said. Is there anyone - anyone - that we can talk to

0:23:080:23:12

who will bear witness to the fact you were at home

0:23:120:23:15

during the time of Lindsay Denton's murder?

0:23:150:23:17

I had my issues with Lindsay Denton, I can't deny that.

0:23:230:23:26

-But I wouldn't kill her.

-So you've said.

0:23:260:23:29

I didn't have that gun.

0:23:320:23:34

So if I didn't return it, why didn't anyone try and recover it?

0:23:340:23:37

DS Arnott's asked a very important question.

0:23:400:23:42

Yes, well, I admit there was a failure to do due diligence

0:23:460:23:48

on the part of the officers at South Ferry armoury,

0:23:480:23:50

but I've written to the Strategic Firearms Commander

0:23:500:23:53

making my feelings on the matter abundantly clear

0:23:530:23:55

and I can assure you, disciplinary action...

0:23:550:23:57

No-one realised because I HAD returned the firearm!

0:23:570:24:01

Someone must have access to the booking-out forms and replaced

0:24:010:24:04

the real one - the one showing I surrendered the gun -

0:24:040:24:06

-with a forgery.

-Yeah, but this same someone would had to have signed out

0:24:060:24:09

the same gun that was used in the murder -

0:24:090:24:11

-and where's the record of that?

-It's the same thing,

0:24:110:24:14

sir - stolen so no-one can track who's got the weapon.

0:24:140:24:16

All right, let me get this straight.

0:24:160:24:18

What you're saying is that some impostor acquired the firearm

0:24:180:24:21

-and then tampered with the paperwork to cover his tracks.

-Yes, sir.

0:24:210:24:25

Obviously the same person who stole my service vehicle that morning.

0:24:250:24:28

So your defence is,

0:24:280:24:29

"It wasn't me, it was just some random impostor"?

0:24:290:24:32

No, not random.

0:24:320:24:33

To know it's extremely difficult to steal a service-issue firearm

0:24:330:24:36

but not actually all that difficult to fake the paperwork -

0:24:360:24:39

that takes inside knowledge. This was done by a police officer.

0:24:390:24:42

But apparently it's a piece of cake to steal a service-issue vehicle

0:24:420:24:44

fitted with deadlocks and an immobiliser.

0:24:440:24:48

I have to say, this is all sounding a bit far-fetched, son.

0:24:480:24:51

There's a parallel on this case, sir.

0:24:580:25:02

Ever since we started investigating Danny Waldron -

0:25:020:25:04

first his shooting of Ronan Murphy, then Danny's murder -

0:25:040:25:07

there have been holes that the evidence hasn't completely filled,

0:25:070:25:10

one of which is the murder of PC Rod Kennedy.

0:25:100:25:13

Sir, this is a massive tangent.

0:25:130:25:14

DS Arnott knows we have to charge or release and he's playing for time.

0:25:140:25:17

Sir, DI Cottan was too quick to close the investigation

0:25:170:25:20

into Kennedy's murder, just like he was with his inquiry into The Caddy.

0:25:200:25:23

He's doing the same thing here.

0:25:230:25:25

He's cutting corners, not challenging evidence robustly,

0:25:250:25:28

and I'm the one suffering for his negligence!

0:25:280:25:30

Sir, DS Arnott's casting aspersions for one reason and one reason only -

0:25:300:25:34

to discredit this case,

0:25:340:25:35

to get AC-12 taken off the investigation against him.

0:25:350:25:38

It's what these coppers do when you know you've got 'em bang to rights -

0:25:380:25:41

exploit their knowledge of the system to try and tie us in knots.

0:25:410:25:44

Look, I'd be really grateful if we could just stick to the issue

0:25:440:25:48

in hand here, which is the murder of Lindsay Denton.

0:25:480:25:51

Thank you, sir.

0:25:540:25:55

Now, with respect to service vehicle Foxtrot Juliet 1-4 Romeo

0:25:550:25:59

Charlie Zulu, a forensic search was carried out at the crime scene.

0:25:590:26:02

Image 43. Interior of service vehicle boot.

0:26:020:26:07

Image 45. Image 45 is item reference VCT-7.

0:26:070:26:12

Do you recognise VCT-7?

0:26:120:26:14

My gym bag.

0:26:140:26:16

Image 46.

0:26:160:26:18

Image 46 shows the contents

0:26:180:26:20

of VCT-7 - sports clothing and trainers.

0:26:200:26:25

-Image 47 -

-That was not in my bag!

0:26:250:26:28

-What...?! What is going on here?!

-DS Arnott, please.

0:26:280:26:32

Image 47...

0:26:330:26:35

shows item reference VCT-9.

0:26:350:26:37

VCT-9 is an unregistered pay-as-you-go mobile phone.

0:26:370:26:42

-Your phone, DS Arnott?

-No, sir!

0:26:420:26:44

No, sir, someone put that there.

0:26:440:26:46

VCT-9 is a phone of the type reportedly associated with

0:26:470:26:51

-covert criminal communications.

-That is not my phone.

0:26:510:26:54

What the hell is it doing in your gym bag?

0:26:540:26:56

DS Arnott denies any knowledge of the phone, there's clearly some

0:26:560:26:59

-irregularity with the search.

-My department carries out its searches

0:26:590:27:02

to the letter of the law, fella!

0:27:020:27:04

The letter!

0:27:040:27:07

Document 19 in your folders.

0:27:070:27:10

For the tape,

0:27:100:27:11

this is a partial transcript of Lindsay Denton's retrial.

0:27:110:27:15

At Lindsay Denton's first trial she was convicted of conspiracy

0:27:150:27:18

to murder, and the prosecution hung on crucial evidence

0:27:180:27:21

found at her home address, namely 50 grand in cash that was linked

0:27:210:27:24

via financial forensics to other bribes employed in the conspiracy.

0:27:240:27:29

I didn't plant that money.

0:27:290:27:31

Image 49.

0:27:320:27:34

Image 49 shows item reference VCT-11.

0:27:340:27:37

Now, VCT-11 is a £5 note.

0:27:370:27:40

Is that your £5 note?

0:27:410:27:43

I don't remember having any money in the bag.

0:27:440:27:46

Not your phone, now it's not your money either.

0:27:460:27:48

I'm saying I don't recall if I was carrying any money in the bag.

0:27:480:27:52

Fair enough.

0:27:520:27:53

That was in the inside pocket.

0:27:530:27:55

It's only a fiver. It's easy to forget.

0:27:550:27:59

We ran forensics on that £5 note.

0:27:590:28:02

Document 20 in your folders.

0:28:020:28:05

DC Fleming.

0:28:050:28:07

For the tape, I'm referring to document 20.

0:28:070:28:10

Document 20 is a photocopy of an original report

0:28:100:28:13

made by the financial forensics unit.

0:28:130:28:15

Report Sierra Alpha/56-57/1-5.

0:28:150:28:20

The summary reads -

0:28:200:28:22

"Pollen particles detected on banknote VCT-11 show a close match

0:28:220:28:26

"to pollen particles detected on banknotes AJK-72."

0:28:260:28:31

AJK-72 is the item reference for the £50,000

0:28:310:28:35

-found at Lindsay Denton's home.

-There is no way!

0:28:350:28:37

Look, just...

0:28:370:28:39

-That is not my money!

-A second ago you couldn't even remember.

0:28:390:28:42

There is no way that I'd have money that was from the same source

0:28:420:28:44

as Lindsay Denton's bribe!

0:28:440:28:45

But Lindsay Denton knew you planted that evidence,

0:28:450:28:48

and she was your most vociferous accuser.

0:28:480:28:49

-So maybe she was onto this evidence, too.

-She wasn't onto any evidence!

0:28:490:28:52

-She couldn't have known about this!

-Oh, right, so you hid it from her?

0:28:520:28:56

-I didn't mean it like that.

-That money would be very hard to come by.

0:28:560:28:59

But together with the phone this indicates a clear

0:28:590:29:02

-pattern of corrupt conduct.

-I am not bent!

0:29:020:29:05

This is obviously a very...

0:29:110:29:14

difficult experience, Steve.

0:29:140:29:15

Would you like some time alone with your solicitor?

0:29:150:29:19

No.

0:29:190:29:21

Very well, but can we all just calm down here

0:29:210:29:24

and not let our emotions get the better of us?

0:29:240:29:26

Sir.

0:29:260:29:27

So, moving on.

0:29:270:29:29

In respect of another murder, that of Sergeant Daniel Waldron,

0:29:290:29:33

-have you any comment to make?

-Waldron was murdered by Hari Bains.

0:29:330:29:38

Bains confessed and intends to plead guilty.

0:29:380:29:41

Yeah, well, Bains owed gambling debts to the wrong people.

0:29:410:29:44

-And we believe they contracted him to kill Waldron.

-Indeed.

0:29:440:29:48

Significantly, Bains received a call the night of the 31st of May

0:29:480:29:51

from a phone of the type found in your car.

0:29:510:29:55

Night before he shot and killed Danny Waldron.

0:29:550:29:57

According to Bains, in a statement made on June 30th,

0:29:570:30:01

the caller had a London/South East accent.

0:30:010:30:05

-So?

-So, was that you?

-London and South East

0:30:080:30:12

have such small populations, it could only have been me(!)

0:30:120:30:14

Kindly just answer the question, please, DS Arnott.

0:30:140:30:17

Bains and I met loads of times. He would have known my voice and been

0:30:170:30:20

able to identify, the call was clearly made by another person unknown.

0:30:200:30:23

Yes, and you're familiar with the putative corrupt police officer

0:30:230:30:26

codename The Caddy?

0:30:260:30:29

I am.

0:30:390:30:40

-DI Cottan.

-Sir.

0:30:410:30:44

Assimilation of all credible witness testimony, based on direct contact

0:30:450:30:49

with said individual, leads to the following profile.

0:30:490:30:53

The Caddy is male.

0:30:530:30:54

The Caddy is almost certainly from a working-class background

0:30:540:30:57

and grew up in an urban environment.

0:30:570:30:59

Is probably under 35.

0:30:590:31:01

He is almost certainly a detective.

0:31:010:31:04

He's trained in covert operations such as counterterrorism.

0:31:040:31:08

And all earwitnesses report The Caddy as having a London

0:31:080:31:11

or South East accent.

0:31:110:31:14

This is insane.

0:31:140:31:15

-God help me, son, I wish it was.

-Sir!

0:31:150:31:18

-That's your evidence? A profile?

-We've more than just a profile.

0:31:180:31:22

Only The Caddy would have had access to the same source of bribe money

0:31:220:31:25

found at Lindsay Denton's house.

0:31:250:31:27

The same supply we found some of in your service vehicle boot.

0:31:270:31:31

SOLICITOR WHISPERS

0:31:320:31:35

Would you like some more time, DS Arnott?

0:31:440:31:47

No.

0:31:500:31:51

DI Cottan originally volunteered to investigate The Caddy

0:31:510:31:54

and closed the case prematurely, based on flimsy evidence

0:31:540:31:57

provided by an old colleague.

0:31:570:31:59

Yes, but we're not here to discuss DI Cottan.

0:31:590:32:01

Sir, he's just looking at some angles to try and discredit this...

0:32:010:32:04

I intend to be heard, sir. On the record.

0:32:040:32:07

Very well. That's your right.

0:32:090:32:12

DI Cottan, you carried out the original inquiry into The Caddy.

0:32:150:32:20

-I did.

-That wrongly identified DC Jeremy Cole.

-Yes.

0:32:200:32:23

Based purely on the testimony of your former colleague,

0:32:230:32:25

-DC Nigel Morton.

-Yeah, but Morton has since revised his statement.

0:32:250:32:29

DI Cottan and DC Fleming are reopening that particular inquiry.

0:32:290:32:32

You also failed to order a second postmortem on the body

0:32:360:32:40

-of Rod Kennedy.

-My e-mail bounced back, as well you know.

0:32:400:32:42

Sir, he's clutching at straws here.

0:32:420:32:44

In respect of the original inquiry into the murder

0:32:440:32:46

of Sergeant Danny Waldron, you led a search of Waldron's flat.

0:32:460:32:49

-I did.

-And as part of that search you found an envelope

0:32:490:32:52

-addressed to me.

-Yes.

-And the forensics that you failed to

0:32:520:32:54

carry out on the inside of that envelope detected traces of ink

0:32:540:32:57

and blood, suggesting it contained a note written by Danny Waldron

0:32:570:33:00

and PRESUMABLY intended for me.

0:33:000:33:02

No note was ever found. Danny Waldron saved his list online.

0:33:020:33:05

Which we only discovered weeks later cos you failed to pursue this lead!

0:33:050:33:08

-I did not.

-The note had been in that envelope!

0:33:080:33:11

That's not what was in the envelope!

0:33:110:33:13

Item reference MRC-1.

0:33:210:33:23

Item reference MRC-1 is the envelope recovered from Danny Waldron's flat.

0:33:230:33:27

And for the tape, Mr Arnott is quite correct - it does bear his name.

0:33:270:33:32

Item reference MRC-2 is the contents of the envelope.

0:33:320:33:35

This item was entered into evidence separately,

0:33:350:33:38

for reasons of internal security.

0:33:380:33:40

You will see in your folders document appendix 1 refers to

0:33:400:33:43

sequestered evidence.

0:33:430:33:45

Sequestration of evidence authorised by Gill Bigelow,

0:33:450:33:47

leading legal council to Anti-Corruption Unit 12.

0:33:470:33:51

This is what was in the envelope.

0:33:560:33:59

Now, for the tape, I'm showing Mr Arnott the sequestered evidence -

0:34:030:34:07

a white golf tee.

0:34:070:34:09

Steve Arnott.

0:34:190:34:21

Golf tee.

0:34:210:34:23

I think Danny Waldron was trying to tell us something.

0:34:240:34:28

Have you got anything further to add, DS Arnott?

0:34:320:34:35

For the tape, the interviewee is shaking his head.

0:34:400:34:43

Steven Arnott,

0:34:450:34:46

you will remain under arrest for the murder of Lindsay Denton.

0:34:460:34:50

I will now seek guidance from the Crown Prosecutor as to how

0:34:500:34:53

to charge you for said offence.

0:34:530:34:54

You will be taken to a place of custody.

0:34:540:34:57

If you're not charged within 24 hours of the original arrest

0:34:570:35:00

you will be released, however I...

0:35:000:35:03

will seek the authority for a 12-hour extension.

0:35:030:35:06

Is all this understood?

0:35:060:35:08

SOFTLY: Yes, sir.

0:35:080:35:10

Interview discontinued.

0:35:100:35:12

God help me if I ever get a good night's sleep again.

0:35:450:35:49

DI Cottan...

0:35:500:35:52

my office, five minutes.

0:35:520:35:54

Sir.

0:35:540:35:56

You OK?

0:35:590:36:00

That can't have been easy.

0:36:030:36:05

Well done.

0:36:050:36:07

SIRENS IN DISTANCE

0:36:270:36:30

Sorry.

0:36:340:36:35

Just when exactly did you get the idea of sequestering evidence from me?

0:36:380:36:42

Hm? In 35 years, this has been my worst day in the service,

0:36:420:36:45

and now this little incident just about caps the whole lot!

0:36:450:36:48

Was it your idea to go behind my back or was it yours?

0:36:480:36:52

To be fair to DI Cottan, he sought me out for guidance.

0:36:520:36:56

It was my decision to sequester the evidence from Danny Waldron's flat

0:36:560:37:00

because of its sensitive nature in regard to a fellow officer.

0:37:000:37:03

It seemed a bizarre and possibly meaningless find, sir,

0:37:030:37:07

-but I just had a feeling...

-"Feeling"?

0:37:070:37:10

..that it might alert Steve. And if it had of done

0:37:100:37:13

then we wouldn't have had all this other evidence.

0:37:130:37:15

Oh, yeah, you're on very thin ice with me, DI Cottan.

0:37:150:37:19

Are there any other surprises in store?

0:37:190:37:21

-I hope not, sir.

-I hope not, too.

0:37:210:37:24

Dismissed!

0:37:260:37:27

Sir.

0:37:270:37:29

DOOR CLOSES

0:37:360:37:37

At the time, neither DI Cottan nor I knew if the golf tee was relevant.

0:37:370:37:41

-Clearly, recent events have created a more significant context.

-Clearly!

0:37:410:37:45

I can see you're angry, Ted, but the fact that you personally recruited

0:37:450:37:48

Steve Arnott did weigh on my decision.

0:37:480:37:51

-What, you decided I was going to be biased?

-I'm sorry, but at the time

0:37:510:37:54

it felt like the right decision. Now, can we just calm down?

0:37:540:37:56

I am calm! I'm totally bloody calm!

0:37:560:37:59

Look, I know this is abysmal timing

0:38:020:38:05

but former Chief Superintendant Patrick Fairbank's legal team

0:38:050:38:08

are applying for the child sex abuse charges to be dropped.

0:38:080:38:11

What?

0:38:110:38:13

They're saying that he repeatedly stated in his interviews that,

0:38:130:38:16

-"I'm not as sharp as I used to be."

-Yeah, I know he said that.

0:38:160:38:19

They're saying that an independent physician should have examined

0:38:190:38:22

his intellectual fitness for interview.

0:38:220:38:26

They're having his GP attest he's got senile dementia.

0:38:280:38:32

He isn't fit to stand trial.

0:38:320:38:34

Mother of God.

0:38:340:38:36

DS Arnott has to be charged or released today.

0:38:380:38:41

Don't delay your call to the Crown Prosecutor.

0:38:410:38:45

Fine.

0:42:000:42:02

-It's fine.

0:42:160:42:20

I'm at a friend's place.

-That...

0:42:580:43:02

-You still haven't charged Steve Arnott.

-We need more time.

I know it's difficult going after one of your own...

0:43:100:43:13

It's what we do for a living.

0:43:130:43:16

DC Fleming has caused me

0:43:160:43:17

to want to re-examine the evidence against Steve Arnott.

0:43:170:43:20

Come on, Ted, there's a mountain of evidence.

0:43:200:43:22

His gun. The car. The money. The threat.

0:43:220:43:28

Motive, opportunity, means.

0:43:280:43:30

During the interview with Steven Arnott I indentified

0:43:300:43:33

a number of issues that merit further examination.

0:43:330:43:36

Of course you want to believe that Steve's innocent. Of course you do.

0:43:360:43:39

But you're jumping to rash and extremely damaging conclusions.

0:43:390:43:43

DC Fleming, please.

0:43:430:43:46

Miss Bigelow, you do not have to say anything

0:43:460:43:48

-but it may harm your defence if you do not...

-Excuse me.

0:43:480:43:50

Gill, please, this is necessary.

0:43:500:43:54

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

0:43:540:43:56

if you do not mention, when questioned,

0:43:560:43:58

something you later rely on in court.

0:43:580:44:00

Anything you do say may be used in evidence.

0:44:000:44:03

It's been a long day and night, let's get a grip, Ted.

0:44:030:44:05

Did you furnish Superintendant Hastings with an intelligence file

0:44:050:44:08

relating to Ronan Murphy,

0:44:080:44:10

the suspect shot dead by Sergeant Danny Waldron on the 13th of May?

0:44:100:44:14

-I did.

-And from who did you obtain that file?

0:44:150:44:18

"Whom."

0:44:180:44:20

It was supplied to me in confidence

0:44:200:44:22

and to reveal the source would be a betrayal of that confidence.

0:44:220:44:25

Gill, you're under caution.

0:44:250:44:28

It would help us enormously if you could provide an answer.

0:44:280:44:32

Very well. Show her.

0:44:390:44:41

This is a signed authority from Superintendant Summers at AC-3

0:44:430:44:46

for me to conduct an undercover operation against AC-12 officers.

0:44:460:44:49

-I see what it is. When did this happen?

-I only found about this this evening.

0:44:490:44:53

Under said authority, I obtained evidence that this file

0:44:530:44:56

originated from DS Nicola Rogerson at Major Violent Crime.

0:44:560:45:00

In a written statement, DS Rogerson claims that the file was

0:45:000:45:03

-"requested" by an AC-12 officer.

-Did an AC-12 officer furnish you

0:45:030:45:08

with this file on condition of anonymity?

0:45:080:45:11

Yes.

0:45:120:45:14

DS Rogerson's copy of the file did not contain the omissions

0:45:150:45:18

made to the one you received.

0:45:180:45:21

I was given that file in good faith

0:45:210:45:23

and I completely deny tampering with it.

0:45:230:45:25

No-one's suggesting you did.

0:45:250:45:27

What we're exploring here is that the alterations

0:45:270:45:30

were made by said AC-12 officer.

0:45:300:45:34

Now, can you confirm the name we've heard from Rogerson?

0:45:340:45:40

Fine.

0:45:440:45:46

Detective Inspector Matthew Cottan.

0:45:480:45:51

He brought you the golf tee...

0:45:530:45:57

so we assumed that he would have brought you file, good.

0:45:570:46:00

DC Fleming, would you kindly excuse us for a moment, please?

0:46:000:46:05

Thank you, Kate.

0:46:080:46:10

You're barking up the wrong tree.

0:46:190:46:21

Matthew Cottan has done a first-rate job of rooting out a bad apple.

0:46:210:46:26

-Gill...

-As for the file, he knew we were being obstructed,

0:46:260:46:29

so he obtained it through unofficial channels.

0:46:290:46:32

Why didn't he just give it to me?

0:46:320:46:34

Because he was afraid you'd give him

0:46:340:46:36

-a dressing-down for acting improperly.

-Gill...

0:46:360:46:39

even after the time we spent together,

0:46:390:46:42

you really don't know me at all.

0:46:420:46:45

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

0:46:510:46:53

This is a video capture taken from a traffic camera situated

0:46:530:46:56

on the Kings Gate Expressway showing traffic at the time indicated

0:46:560:46:59

in the top right-hand corner.

0:46:590:47:01

-9.46.

-Steve's car.

0:47:010:47:04

At first glance, yes, but...

0:47:040:47:05

Different reg.

0:47:070:47:09

Correct. Here are more traffic camera images,

0:47:090:47:12

this same vehicle captured travelling through the city centre

0:47:120:47:15

on traffic cameras a few minutes apart.

0:47:150:47:18

Image enhancement has failed to show who's driving.

0:47:180:47:22

Now, here's a street map.

0:47:230:47:25

This street map shows the locations of the vehicle at times

0:47:250:47:28

corresponding to the exact times of the traffic camera images.

0:47:280:47:32

I'm now going to add the location of the internet cafe where

0:47:320:47:34

Lindsay Denton was last seen alive that morning.

0:47:340:47:37

Someone was driving the vehicle to Lindsay's location that morning.

0:47:390:47:43

Yeah. And previous to the internet cafe, Lindsay Denton was last seen

0:47:430:47:46

at her approved premises the night before.

0:47:460:47:49

I'm now going to add the location of the approved premises.

0:47:490:47:52

There's an hour's delay in the timeline of the vehicle's movements,

0:47:520:47:56

suggesting it hung around the approved premises during this time.

0:47:560:47:59

So...Lindsay was followed to the internet cafe.

0:47:590:48:03

-Looks like it, sir.

-And correct me if I'm wrong,

0:48:040:48:07

but this is the same time that Steve said that he was home alone?

0:48:070:48:10

Yeah, that's correct, sir.

0:48:100:48:12

Steve doesn't have an alibi so it could be him driving that vehicle.

0:48:120:48:15

-Hmm.

-One final thing.

0:48:150:48:18

I've indentified this registration

0:48:180:48:21

as belonging to another make and model entirely.

0:48:210:48:24

They're fake plates.

0:48:240:48:26

Well done. Well done. I think you'd better get that wee one home,

0:48:260:48:30

and thanks very much for coming in.

0:48:300:48:32

Why would Steve be driving his own car with fake plates?

0:48:420:48:46

To hide his movements?

0:48:460:48:48

It doesn't make sense, sir, she wouldn't have got in the car.

0:48:480:48:51

If Steve turned up with fake plates she'd have known

0:48:510:48:53

he was up to something. She would never get in.

0:48:530:48:55

Or maybe she just didn't see it.

0:48:550:48:57

-We all know Lindsay, sir, she never missed a thing.

-Hm.

0:48:570:49:01

-Sorry, Kate, you couldn't give us a hand with the lift?

-Yeah, sure.

0:49:010:49:05

Off the record,

0:49:130:49:15

DI Cottan put pressure on me not to tell Steve about the additional

0:49:150:49:18

forensics on the envelope found in Danny Waldron's flat.

0:49:180:49:21

Cheers, Maneet.

0:49:240:49:26

-He's here, sir.

-And?

0:49:450:49:48

Well, I can't say he's very happy.

0:49:480:49:50

0:51:430:51:45

Morning.

0:51:570:51:59

A word to the wise -

0:52:050:52:06

Arnott or Cottan, if either turns out to be a bad apple,

0:52:060:52:09

he's acting alone.

0:52:090:52:10

They can't be connected to any wider conspiracy.

0:52:100:52:14

Let's see.

0:52:140:52:16

And Patrick Fairbank the same.

0:52:160:52:17

We feel his legal team have a strong case,

0:52:170:52:20

his dementia precludes a trial.

0:52:200:52:22

-He might have forgotten some important details.

-Exactly.

0:52:220:52:25

Or worse still...

0:52:250:52:28

he might remember them.

0:52:280:52:30

What are you saying?

0:52:300:52:33

You see, I finally understand why you were appointed by the PCC.

0:52:330:52:36

I'm the loose cannon here.

0:52:360:52:38

If I see a bent copper I'll go after him

0:52:380:52:40

irrespective of rank or political expediency.

0:52:400:52:43

I'm not going to apologise for having one eye on PR.

0:52:430:52:46

Anti-corruption is a double-edged sword.

0:52:460:52:49

We need to find just enough bent coppers to avoid accusations of

0:52:490:52:52

a cover-up but no so many that the public starts to wonder

0:52:520:52:54

if the police can be trusted.

0:52:540:52:56

So we let Patrick Fairbank just slip through the net?

0:52:560:52:59

Because of all the peers and the politicians

0:52:590:53:01

and the police officers he might implicate?

0:53:010:53:04

Meanwhile, we go back to chasing disc jockeys and game show hosts?

0:53:040:53:07

-I'm just doing my job.

-And I'm doing mine.

0:53:070:53:10

And it's called nicking bent coppers and I don't care

0:53:100:53:12

whether it's one rotten apple or the whole bloody barrel.

0:53:120:53:15

There's a line and it's called right and wrong.

0:53:150:53:18

And I know which side...

0:53:180:53:20

my duty lies.

0:53:200:53:22

So why don't you write a nice letter of resignation to the PCC

0:53:220:53:26

or I swear to God...

0:53:260:53:28

I will drag you down with the rest of them.

0:53:280:53:31

In last night's interview of DS Arnott you produced

0:53:580:54:01

a piece of evidence - item reference MRC-2 -

0:54:010:54:04

namely the golf tee and the envelope found at Danny Waldron's flat.

0:54:040:54:08

Wonder if you can explain in a little bit more detail

0:54:080:54:11

how you came by this piece of evidence?

0:54:110:54:14

I'm not sure I understand what you're driving at, sir.

0:54:140:54:17

Well, there were half a dozen of you on that search,

0:54:170:54:19

how come no-one else saw it?

0:54:190:54:21

Did you swear them all to secrecy or what?

0:54:210:54:24

Oh, I see, sir.

0:54:240:54:25

No, what happened was - we detected an illegal firearm.

0:54:250:54:29

I sent an officer to bring someone with firearms training urgently,

0:54:290:54:33

so as to secure the firearm.

0:54:330:54:35

I had the legitimate concern it wasn't safe or it was booby-trapped

0:54:350:54:38

-and it was then I saw the golf tee in the envelope.

-So...

0:54:380:54:43

with no-one else watching you...

0:54:430:54:46

-you seized this piece of evidence?

-Yes, sir.

0:54:460:54:49

Did you order forensics on the golf tee?

0:54:520:54:55

I did but there were no noticeable findings.

0:54:550:54:57

-Did you order forensics on the inside of the envelope?

-Yes, sir.

0:54:570:55:01

-When?

-Well, this was something we omitted in the first instance

0:55:010:55:04

but rectified as the inquiry progressed.

0:55:040:55:08

Did you put pressure on a junior rank not to disclose

0:55:080:55:10

the forensics to DS Arnott?

0:55:100:55:12

-Yes.

-Why?

0:55:130:55:15

Steve Arnott was concocting accusations

0:55:150:55:17

I wasn't doing my job properly.

0:55:170:55:19

-I didn't want to give him any ammunition.

-So...

0:55:190:55:22

you actually missed a crucial piece of evidence.

0:55:220:55:26

Well...

0:55:260:55:27

Forensics detected ink and blood on the inside of that envelope.

0:55:290:55:33

That suggests there was a bloodstained note

0:55:330:55:35

-inside the envelope.

-There wasn't though.

0:55:350:55:38

-No ink or blood on the golf tee.

-So, what?

0:55:380:55:41

Danny Waldron must have put it in there after he removed the note?

0:55:410:55:44

Look, this note,

0:55:440:55:46

some people have been making a mountain out of a molehill.

0:55:460:55:49

If it was such an issue, why didn't I just pocket the envelope

0:55:490:55:52

and no-one would be any the wiser?

0:55:520:55:54

Which I didn't do, by the way.

0:55:540:55:57

Maybe the envelope had already been seen by somebody else

0:55:570:56:00

on the search team, but the contents hadn't.

0:56:000:56:02

I found a golf tee. I remained in the vicinity of the firearm

0:56:040:56:08

until an officer arrived to make it safe.

0:56:080:56:10

Now, if that note went walkabout, it's because Danny Waldron moved it

0:56:100:56:13

before we got there. In the end, missing the forensics

0:56:130:56:16

made no difference to the inquiry whatsoever.

0:56:160:56:19

That's one of the things we're here to determine, DI Cottan

0:56:190:56:22

and I'll be the judge of that, thank you.

0:56:220:56:24

DC Fleming, moving on.

0:56:240:56:27

Item reference EGH-1. EGH-1 is an intelligence file on Ronan Murphy,

0:56:310:56:37

the suspect shot dead by Danny Waldron.

0:56:370:56:40

It's where this whole inquiry started, and it omitted information

0:56:400:56:43

that would have allowed us to connect Ronan Murphy to known

0:56:430:56:45

high-ranking criminal Tommy Hunter,

0:56:450:56:48

and the cover-up of historic child sexual abuse.

0:56:480:56:50

-DI Cottan, have you seen this file before?

-Yes, sir.

0:56:520:56:55

And who provided you with access to this file?

0:56:550:56:58

You did, sir.

0:56:580:57:01

You see, my particular concern here, DI Cottan...

0:57:010:57:05

is if you were familiar with this file before I gave you access?

0:57:050:57:10

Do you have an answer, DI Cottan?

0:57:150:57:17

Yes, I was familiar with the file.

0:57:180:57:21

Yes.

0:57:210:57:22

And how were you familiar with it?

0:57:220:57:24

I acquired the file from a former Major Violent Crime officer

0:57:240:57:28

involved in the investigation into the murder of Tommy Hunter -

0:57:280:57:30

DS Rogerson.

0:57:300:57:33

-I then passed it over to Gill Bigelow.

-Yeah, not to me.

0:57:330:57:36

Not to DS Arnott, not to DC Fleming.

0:57:360:57:39

Well, I wanted to avoid Steven Arnott. I think we all know why.

0:57:390:57:42

That file had crucial pieces of information removed that held

0:57:420:57:45

-this inquiry back for weeks.

-Yeah, well, I'm sorry about that, sir,

0:57:450:57:48

but I took that file at face value, in good faith.

0:57:480:57:50

And when we found out about the missing information

0:57:500:57:53

why didn't you say something?

0:57:530:57:54

-You should have been shouting that from the rafters, man!

-No, sir. No.

0:57:540:57:57

I didn't have the evidence yet

0:57:570:57:59

and I didn't want to alert them beforehand.

0:57:590:58:01

Alert who?

0:58:010:58:03

Don't you see, sir?

0:58:030:58:05

DS Rogerson is a former girlfriend of DS Arnott.

0:58:050:58:08

I'm sorry, sir. Weren't you aware of the relationship between Rogerson

0:58:120:58:16

and Arnott?

0:58:160:58:18

No. I wasn't.

0:58:180:58:21

You should have told him, DC Fleming.

0:58:210:58:24

Spare the gaffer his blushes.

0:58:240:58:26

Well, the only person known to have handled that file

0:58:260:58:29

apart from DS Rogerson is you, not DS Arnott.

0:58:290:58:32

Well, the pair of them must have hatched a plot to alter the file.

0:58:320:58:35

DS Rogerson denies altering the file.

0:58:350:58:38

Well, she would, wouldn't she? Look, sounds to me

0:58:380:58:40

like this is another one to throw at Steven Arnott.

0:58:400:58:42

I'm still exorcised by the fact you didn't mention

0:58:420:58:45

-any of this sooner.

-I don't cast aspersions on fellow officers.

0:58:450:58:48

Unless I can back it up with hard evidence.

0:58:480:58:50

Unlike some I can mention.

0:58:500:58:52

DC Fleming.

0:58:580:59:00

On screen, you'll see evidence gathered in the case against

0:59:030:59:05

Harinderpal Bains.

0:59:050:59:07

Images 291 and 292 showing item reference MR-3 and MR-4.

0:59:070:59:12

MR-3 and MR-4 are unregistered mobile phones

0:59:120:59:16

recovered from Hari Bains' home.

0:59:160:59:18

So, what is this?

0:59:180:59:21

One of our own's about to be charged with murder, I think

0:59:210:59:23

we're entitled to ask a few questions, don't you?

0:59:230:59:26

Yeah, no, no, of course. Whatever I can do to help.

0:59:260:59:29

These phones were provided to Bains and he used them

0:59:290:59:32

to communicate with The Caddy. A similar type of phone

0:59:320:59:34

-was recovered from the boot of DS Arnott's car.

-Yeah, well,

0:59:340:59:38

these are matters of fact in the case against Steven Arnott.

0:59:380:59:40

Yeah, well, I'm just making sure we all understand the facts

0:59:400:59:43

as they stand.

0:59:430:59:44

We'll return to the phone shortly.

0:59:440:59:47

Now, in last night's interview of DS Arnott you stated that you'd attempted

0:59:470:59:51

to order a second postmortem on the body of PC Rod Kennedy.

0:59:510:59:54

A search of e-mail records found no e-mail from you

0:59:540:59:57

to the pathologist office requesting said postmortem.

0:59:571:00:01

DI Cottan?

1:00:031:00:04

HE CHUCKLES

1:00:041:00:06

Uh? Seriously?

1:00:071:00:09

You know what the IT system is like in this building.

1:00:101:00:13

Just because it is not on the server,

1:00:131:00:14

that does not mean I didn't send it.

1:00:141:00:16

As a matter of fact, DI Cottan, what I'm seeing here is a pattern.

1:00:161:00:20

A pattern of failure to discharge your responsibilities

1:00:211:00:24

as a senior detective.

1:00:241:00:26

You should have been chasing up that postmortem!

1:00:261:00:28

No, you are absolutely right, sir.

1:00:281:00:30

And what's worse is Kate had made a specific point of asking me and all.

1:00:301:00:34

I was beside myself when I realised

1:00:341:00:36

and I apologise unreservedly for my error.

1:00:361:00:38

But you see, DI Cottan...

1:00:411:00:43

it raises the distinct possibility that you were somehow reluctant

1:00:431:00:46

to seek confirmation that Kennedy WASN'T a suicide.

1:00:461:00:51

That he was in fact murdered.

1:00:511:00:53

I was very pleased with that information, sir,

1:00:531:00:55

as it was instrumental in our arrest of Bains.

1:00:551:00:58

For which I won a commendation.

1:00:581:01:00

Let's just stay with Hari Bains for a second.

1:01:011:01:04

He levelled some very disturbing allegations against you,

1:01:041:01:07

DI Cottan, wouldn't you agree?

1:01:071:01:09

Which I strenuously deny. And for which there is zero evidence.

1:01:091:01:13

Yeah, well...

1:01:151:01:17

-we carried out a search of your service vehicle.

-What?

1:01:171:01:20

Now, I am doing very well to avoid blowing my top here.

1:01:221:01:25

This is out of order.

1:01:251:01:28

And as you well know, completely illegal

1:01:281:01:30

under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984,

1:01:301:01:32

as DI Cottan is neither under arrest nor charged with an offence.

1:01:321:01:35

Yes, well, said illegality would only apply

1:01:351:01:37

if it was DI Cottan's personal vehicle.

1:01:371:01:39

His service vehicle is owned by the police

1:01:391:01:41

and as such we are entitled to search it

1:01:411:01:44

without any form of authority.

1:01:441:01:46

Still, in my view,

1:01:461:01:47

we have reached the point where either you stop

1:01:471:01:49

or you caution my client.

1:01:491:01:51

DI Cottan, stay right there.

1:02:001:02:02

You do not have to say anything, however,

1:02:051:02:08

it may harm your defence if you fail to mention something,

1:02:081:02:11

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

1:02:111:02:14

Of course, anything you do say may be used in evidence. Thank you.

1:02:141:02:20

Now, what the hell are you doing searching my car?

1:02:261:02:29

This is a signed authority from Superintendent Summers of AC-3

1:02:291:02:32

to investigate AC-12 officers, based on concerns raised by DC Fleming.

1:02:321:02:39

OK.

1:02:421:02:44

Just doing our job here, there is nothing personal.

1:02:441:02:47

OK, it was obviously investigating Steven Arnott.

1:02:511:02:54

Not me.

1:02:541:02:55

The signed authority from Superintendent Summers

1:02:551:02:58

is a bit like Grandma's nightgown.

1:02:581:03:00

It covers everything.

1:03:001:03:03

DC Fleming, the search of DI Cottan's service vehicle,

1:03:031:03:06

if you please.

1:03:061:03:07

Sir.

1:03:071:03:09

Service vehicle November Juliet Zero Seven Zulu Foxtrot Whisky

1:03:091:03:13

was examined forensically, with one notable finding.

1:03:131:03:16

Item GBS-8 is a number of synthetic fibres.

1:03:161:03:19

Comparison of fibres from GBS-8 and NTW-7 finds multiple

1:03:191:03:24

chemical correlations that imply a very strong likelihood

1:03:241:03:28

the materials derive from the same original source.

1:03:281:03:31

The same original source.

1:03:311:03:35

NTW-7 is the item reference assigned to the rope

1:03:361:03:38

found at the industrial unit where Hari Bains was arrested.

1:03:381:03:43

The noose had been in your boot.

1:03:431:03:45

The noose that you claimed Hari Bains was going to hang you with.

1:03:461:03:51

What the forensics are suggesting is that you planted it there

1:03:531:03:57

in that industrial unit

1:03:571:03:58

to falsely incriminate Bains for Kennedy's murder!

1:03:581:04:01

Bains had handled the rope when he prepared the noose.

1:04:101:04:12

Bains and I had a scuffle in which he attempted to overpower me.

1:04:121:04:15

Fibres transferred onto me.

1:04:151:04:17

Those fibres were then transferred into my service vehicle

1:04:171:04:20

the next morning when I clocked on.

1:04:201:04:22

They were in the boot - nowhere else.

1:04:221:04:25

The first thing I do before I get in the motor is sling my coat

1:04:251:04:28

and briefcase in the boot.

1:04:281:04:30

Now, if those fibres were going to end up anywhere,

1:04:301:04:33

that is exactly where they would be found.

1:04:331:04:35

Are you covering...

1:04:371:04:40

for the real murderer of Rod Kennedy?

1:04:401:04:43

No, I'm not.

1:04:431:04:44

-Were you involved in murdering Rod Kennedy?

-No, I wasn't.

1:04:461:04:50

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

1:04:551:04:57

-Returning to the mobile phones...

-Happy to.

1:04:591:05:02

On screen, image 104.

1:05:051:05:06

Image 104 shows item reference KMF-13,

1:05:061:05:09

an unregistered mobile phone,

1:05:091:05:11

and item reference KMF-14 is a subscriber identification module.

1:05:111:05:15

Do you recognise these items?

1:05:171:05:19

No.

1:05:211:05:22

-No?

-CHUCKLING:

-I'll give you "no".

1:05:221:05:25

These items were submitted to us in evidence by a witness

1:05:251:05:28

who alleges that they do or did belong to you.

1:05:281:05:31

Well, then, the witness is mistaken.

1:05:311:05:33

Analysis of said subscriber identification module KMF-14

1:05:331:05:37

revealed no activity since October 2014.

1:05:371:05:42

All communications up to and including that date

1:05:421:05:44

appear to relate to other unregistered users.

1:05:441:05:47

Right, so you have got a phone that doesn't belong to me

1:05:471:05:50

and a load of mysterious calls.

1:05:501:05:52

Pardon me if I don't see the significance.

1:05:521:05:55

On screen, image 909.

1:05:551:05:57

Image 909 is item reference SJP-32.

1:05:591:06:02

It was detected in the boot of a vehicle

1:06:021:06:04

found at the Edge Park Golf Club

1:06:041:06:06

in July of 2012.

1:06:061:06:08

The vehicle is registered to Alex Campbell -

1:06:081:06:12

the alias being used at the time by one John Thomas Hunter.

1:06:121:06:15

Now, it was known Tommy Hunter used numerous such phones

1:06:151:06:18

to conduct his criminal activities.

1:06:181:06:21

But this particular phone is of interest to us

1:06:211:06:24

because of a call made on the 8th of July 2012 at around midnight.

1:06:241:06:30

It was from Hunter's phone to yours.

1:06:301:06:32

And that's the significance, fella.

1:06:321:06:35

In black and white.

1:06:351:06:37

I have no connection with this phone or SIM Card you have been given.

1:06:371:06:40

And I've certainly no connection to Hunter.

1:06:401:06:43

So how come we are being told this phone belongs to you?

1:06:431:06:46

This witness you've got, I bet he said

1:06:491:06:51

he found this phone in my service vehicle a couple of years back.

1:06:511:06:54

Well, I can neither confirm nor deny...

1:06:561:06:58

Yeah, well, I CAN confirm that

1:06:581:06:59

he's sat on this so-called evidence for a long time.

1:06:591:07:02

I reckon he also told you he conned me into taking

1:07:021:07:05

the wrong SIM Card back while he held on to the real McCoy.

1:07:051:07:07

Yeah, well, as I said, I can neither confirm nor deny.

1:07:071:07:10

Is there anything you've got linking me to these items? Mm?

1:07:101:07:15

Something like forensic evidence?

1:07:161:07:18

I did leave my phone in my service vehicle.

1:07:211:07:23

And I was very grateful when DC Morton -

1:07:231:07:26

and let's not be coy about names - returned it to me.

1:07:261:07:30

Now, I have no idea where this other SIM Card has come from.

1:07:301:07:32

But DC Morton informed us that it was you who induced him

1:07:321:07:36

to mislead the original inquiry about The Caddy,

1:07:361:07:38

that it was you, DI Cottan, who suggested attributing

1:07:381:07:42

the nickname to a deceased police officer.

1:07:421:07:45

Well, that's just not true, sir.

1:07:451:07:47

It was DC Morton who did the misleading.

1:07:471:07:49

He is the one that has been falsely claiming disability benefits.

1:07:491:07:53

He will say anything to cling on to his pension. Anything at all.

1:07:531:07:57

The man is a completely unreliable witness.

1:07:571:07:59

DI Cottan, where were you on the morning of July 17th?

1:08:041:08:09

You're asking me where I was when Lindsay Denton was murdered?

1:08:101:08:13

100% that's what she's asking you.

1:08:131:08:15

You need to demonstrate some legal basis for that question

1:08:151:08:18

or I suggest you withdraw it immediately.

1:08:181:08:20

Kate, bring up the next item and the map.

1:08:211:08:24

Item reference MB-1 to MB-5,

1:08:271:08:29

traffic cameras captured images of this vehicle

1:08:291:08:32

on the morning of Lindsay's murder.

1:08:321:08:35

Identical make, model and colour as Steve Arnott's

1:08:351:08:37

but with different registration.

1:08:371:08:39

It was driven on the route matching Lindsay's location that morning.

1:08:411:08:45

The registration proved to be false.

1:08:451:08:47

We are curious about the logic here.

1:08:471:08:50

The logic?

1:08:501:08:51

Steve Arnott takes the trouble to disguise a vehicle,

1:08:511:08:54

but there were no fake plates found when Lindsay's body was discovered.

1:08:541:08:57

I mean, why would Steve remove the fake plates...

1:08:571:09:00

and then leave Lindsay's body lying in the front passenger seat

1:09:001:09:03

for all the world to find?

1:09:031:09:04

My hypothesis would be Steven Arnott only meant to abduct Lindsay Denton.

1:09:071:09:11

Something went wrong, he killed her, he panicked.

1:09:111:09:14

Would Lindsay really have got into Steve's car

1:09:161:09:18

if she'd seen it was displaying fake plates?

1:09:181:09:20

Everyone makes mistakes.

1:09:201:09:22

Indeed we do, DI Cottan.

1:09:231:09:25

Are there any witnesses that saw

1:09:301:09:32

Steve's car being stolen, as he claimed?

1:09:321:09:35

Mm? Any witnesses that saw anyone else driving the vehicle?

1:09:351:09:39

I think these are questions for Steven Arnott, not me.

1:09:431:09:46

DC Fleming.

1:09:481:09:50

Steve Arnott insists he returned his firearm

1:09:501:09:53

four days before Lindsay's murder.

1:09:531:09:54

The booking-out officer at South Ferry armoury

1:09:541:09:57

corroborates Steve's story.

1:09:571:09:59

The booking-out officer is covering his own arse.

1:09:591:10:01

Yeah, well, an impostor could have obtained the murder weapon

1:10:011:10:04

and then forged the paperwork to make it appear that

1:10:041:10:06

Steve Arnott's firearm had the same serial number as the murder weapon

1:10:061:10:09

and that he never returned it.

1:10:091:10:11

That's an interesting theory. But it couldn't have been me.

1:10:111:10:14

I am not an AFO.

1:10:141:10:16

How would I have obtained the murder weapon?

1:10:161:10:18

The Caddy commands a network of corrupt officers.

1:10:181:10:21

He does.

1:10:211:10:23

But Steve Arnott's The Caddy, not me.

1:10:251:10:27

-You have thought that since before Lindsay's murder.

-Yeah.

1:10:271:10:31

Yeah, in fact, you made a call to me the night before Lindsay's murder.

1:10:311:10:35

You called me after you had observed Lindsay Denton

1:10:351:10:37

return to her approved premises.

1:10:371:10:39

-Yeah.

-At 15 minutes after midnight,

1:10:411:10:43

you called me from your mobile and you said,

1:10:431:10:45

"That lead on Steve looks like it's going to pan out,

1:10:451:10:48

"he really did plant the money at Lindsay's. Sorry.

1:10:481:10:51

"I thought you would want to know before it becomes common knowledge."

1:10:511:10:55

Did you make that call, DI Cottan?

1:10:551:10:57

-I...

-HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

1:10:581:11:00

-Yeah.

-Yeah, so what was that lead that was going to pan out?

1:11:001:11:03

Erm...

1:11:031:11:04

Well, it couldn't have been the money in Steve's gym bag,

1:11:081:11:10

because that wasn't discovered until the forensics carried out

1:11:101:11:13

a search in the service vehicle the next day.

1:11:131:11:15

Arnott was behaving suspiciously and I wanted to give Kate

1:11:181:11:21

a heads up, as they had been partners for a long time.

1:11:211:11:24

Oh, that's very considerate of you,

1:11:241:11:26

but I will ask you for a second time - what was the lead?

1:11:261:11:30

Erm...

1:11:321:11:34

..I had glimpsed some banknotes in his gym bag,

1:11:361:11:39

I intended to investigate.

1:11:391:11:40

-When did you see the banknotes?

-Earlier that day.

1:11:401:11:43

But how could you have known that forensics would connect them

1:11:471:11:49

to the money planted at Lindsay's?

1:11:491:11:51

Eh...

1:11:561:11:58

DI Cottan, were you able to forewarn Kate

1:12:001:12:03

because you had a scheme in mind where you were going to plant

1:12:031:12:06

that money in Steve's service vehicle?

1:12:061:12:07

No. No, absolutely not.

1:12:071:12:09

That's how the service vehicle was stolen.

1:12:091:12:11

You cloned the key

1:12:131:12:15

-and were plotting to use it to plant evidence against Steve.

-No.

1:12:151:12:19

No, absolutely not.

1:12:191:12:21

DI Cottan, I think we have earned the right to ask you the question -

1:12:211:12:25

will you kindly tell us your whereabouts

1:12:251:12:29

between 10 and 11 that morning?

1:12:291:12:31

Well, I really don't have to answer that question.

1:12:331:12:36

Don't you?

1:12:371:12:39

This is a voluntary interview, and I am only cooperating out of

1:12:391:12:42

my lawful duty as a police officer to assist in a criminal inquiry.

1:12:421:12:46

Indeed you are, indeed you are,

1:12:461:12:48

and we can call a halt to the proceedings right there

1:12:481:12:50

and leave this question hanging over you and your career -

1:12:501:12:54

or you can stick your hand up and offer us an answer

1:12:541:12:57

and exclude yourself from our inquiries.

1:12:571:13:00

Entirely your decision.

1:13:001:13:01

Take your time.

1:13:011:13:03

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

1:13:131:13:15

I was at my flat.

1:13:181:13:20

I had had a late night on surveillance

1:13:201:13:22

and I needed to catch up on some kip.

1:13:221:13:25

-So you were in during those hours?

-Yep.

-Yep.

1:13:251:13:27

Say that again.

1:13:301:13:31

You just said you were in your flat, we have that on tape.

1:13:341:13:37

Eh...

1:13:431:13:45

It's a very simple matter, DI Cottan.

1:13:461:13:48

DI Cottan has answered, haven't you, DI Cottan?

1:13:481:13:52

You have mentioned, when questioned, something

1:13:521:13:54

you later intend to rely on in court.

1:13:541:13:57

Yeah, look, I... Sorry. I may have got that wrong.

1:14:011:14:05

Eh, I just need to...think. Erm...

1:14:061:14:10

I-I'd been up late and...

1:14:121:14:15

Take your time, take your time.

1:14:151:14:17

-I, eh, I need to think about that one.

-Absolutely, absolutely.

1:14:231:14:27

-Maybe I could just...

-Yeah.

-..check my calendar...

-Yeah, yeah.

1:14:321:14:36

You wouldn't have entered my flat, would you, Kate?

1:14:391:14:42

I mean, alone.

1:19:061:19:10

My advice? Run now while you can.

1:19:111:19:14

I'm too knackered to run. Drop the gun!

-That'd be telling.

-Well, now I see why we never slept together.

It wasn't that I didn't want to.

1:19:361:19:38

Please, go now, while it's safe.

1:19:401:19:41

I get it - Steve Arnott's The Caddy so you can retire?

1:19:411:19:44

Yeah, something like that, yeah.

1:19:441:19:46

They picked you, groomed you, guided your career.

1:19:461:19:50

You know everything.

1:19:501:19:52

What are you going to do now, just stop?

-Kate, I know what I'm doing.

-Patrick Fairbank.

1:20:041:20:07

They're saying he's going to get off the child abuse charges.

1:20:071:20:11

You know names, dates, places.

1:20:111:20:14

You know all about monsters like him.
