0:00:09 > 0:00:13- Happy?- All I've ever wanted to do.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17See you in the morning.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20Tell us all about it.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Get all that in the overnight. I'm having a drink with somebody.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Righteo, Mister Rivers.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Broke down, have yous, lads?
0:01:51 > 0:01:52One of yous the owner of this car?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Move back, please, if you wouldn't mind.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Right back, please.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I just got married in November.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Give us a chance, will you?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07GUNSHOT
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I want a visiting order.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42I'll get your form tomorrow.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Just fill it out and get it delivered, first thing.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Where to?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Durham Police Headquarters. Name of Chief Inspector George Gently.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56And hurry up, I need a shower.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I wanted to put, "Murdered while doing his duty."
0:04:16 > 0:04:17But they wouldn't let us.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28You've moved away, Bernie.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29I couldn't live around here anymore.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I've borrowed a place out past Rothbury.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Is that a good idea?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I don't know what's worse -
0:04:35 > 0:04:39people's sympathy or knowing that some of them believe the lies.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I mean, this was the honestest man in the world,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45doing the job that he'd always wanted...
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Even his mates believe it, don't they?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53That he was taking bribe money, and that's how he got shot.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Well, where's the bribe money?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Can I have it, please, cos I've got nowt.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02You know, I never believed any of this.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06You've been great, Mr Gently. Thank you.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I came up here to tell you something, Bernie.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Don't go to the inquest tomorrow.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17It's not be unlawful killing,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19for which I've been arguing.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23It's not even be an open verdict, I'm afraid.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Well what is it going be...?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Oh no, no... not suicide.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Probably.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42No pension. No insurance.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49No Gavin.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01I won't give up on this, Bernie. I promise.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17How did she take it?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19How'd you think she took it?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21She can't even bear to stay in Durham.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23She's hiding herself away in Rothbury.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27What's the letter?
0:06:27 > 0:06:28What letter?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31The one you didn't want me to see.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Rothbury's miles away, ain't it...
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Yeah, miles away from the people she thinks deserted her,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39and destroyed her husband's reputation.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Oh, well... you've heard the whispers...
0:06:43 > 0:06:44What whispers are they, John?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Ah, come on, guv...you know?
0:06:46 > 0:06:51About how Gavin Henderson was in hock to the gangs in Newcastle...
0:06:51 > 0:06:54This bloke Rivers who's done a bunk. So, you know, it was going to come out.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- "In hock"?- A-ha.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00There is absolutely no evidence to support those "whispers",
0:07:00 > 0:07:03apart from what's coming out of London, of course.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Aye. Yeah. "Evidence from London".
0:07:06 > 0:07:08That means "lies", don't it? To you.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Automatically. 100,000 coppers - all bent.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15You ever thought maybe you've just got this a little bit wrong, guv?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Wrong..?- Exaggerated,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20when you talk about how many bent coppers there are in the Met...
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Well actually, John, I've never tried to put a number
0:07:23 > 0:07:25to how many bent coppers there are in the Met.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28All I've ever said is what I know to be a fact -
0:07:28 > 0:07:32which is that during the time I was working there, I knew of at least seven career criminals.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Seven?- Yes, seven.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Out of 100,000. It's not that many, is it?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39That's all I'm saying.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Who was the letter from?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Serious Crime Squad.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57London gangs are moving into the north east for the fruit machines.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01They're recruiting somebody with local roots and experience.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04And they just happened to choose you.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05- Yeah.- Why you?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Why not me?- No, no, no. Why you?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Because maybe they don't think of me as just your sergeant, guv.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Maybe they think of me as... "A rising talent".
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Well, congratulations.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21You've tried to stop us in the past...
0:08:21 > 0:08:23This time you can make your own decisions, John.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Here, marked "urgent" from the jail, sir.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Get me a cup of tea.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Toto sees smoke signals, Kimosabbi.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Kettle boiling.
0:08:47 > 0:08:54Melvyn Rattigan, you have been found not guilty of murder on one count,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57but guilty of manslaughter, armed robbery...
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Hats off to the Judy. - ...and extortion.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I'm sorry, my Lord, but credit where it's due.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Could of been the gallows, eh? Disappointed, Gently?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Melvyn Rattigan, you are a vicious, committed career criminal.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13And I therefore sentence you to 30 years imprisonment.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Take him down.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I'll be out, and it won't be no 30 years.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12No chaperone?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I asked for a bit of privacy.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Something to say to me?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26I had a nephew what done himself in.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Went under a tube at Mile End.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30His wife never got over it, poor thing.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32When they marked it down to depression.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I don't know what he had to be depressed about, he was a jockey.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I didn't like him much, actually.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42OK, so you know that Gavin Henderson's murder
0:10:42 > 0:10:44is about to be called suicide.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Anything else?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Do you know how much I hate you, George Gently?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I hate the sound of your voice.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I hate your stupid face.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04I even hate the smell of you.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Do you know what you smell like?
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Holy water.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Sanctimonious.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Stale from all the fingers what have been dipped in you.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Well...
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Will that be all?
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Or have you got some actual information about Gavin Henderson's death?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Well not now, I haven't.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I mean, I come all this way and all I get is sarcasm.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Ah, well. Never mind.
0:11:30 > 0:11:37You'll be out in...1991?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42And they reckon we'll be all riding round in spaceships by then. I'll fly you to the moon.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Look forward to it.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Oi, send my love to Gitta Bronson, won't you?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Yeah. When they offered me a Judy for my brief, I nearly told them where to shove it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57But she was good.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02What a clever woman. Well, that's Jews for you.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05What makes you think I'll be seeing her?
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Oh, you'll be seeing her.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13HE KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:12:24 > 0:12:27What do you say about the allegations against you?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Have you got any comments to make on Rattigan's release?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Can we actually have a comment? - Comment on what?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34On Rattigan's release
0:12:34 > 0:12:36and these allegations of corruption against you.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Release....?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39What did you talk about, Mr Gently?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Did you ask him to withdraw his allegations against you?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46What's the story, Inspector?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Hello, John.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Rattigan's being bailed pending an appeal.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26What? How did he get bail? On what grounds?
0:13:27 > 0:13:28There's new evidence.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33Allegations that he made at the time of the trial are being re-examined.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Which ones?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39That you had a corrupt relationship with him.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42That you framed him to cover your own crimes.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Well I'd like to see the evidence for that,
0:13:46 > 0:13:47cos there isn't any.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Well, there is, Sir.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Fraud Squad are saying
0:13:54 > 0:13:58that they've uncovered bank accounts in your name,
0:13:58 > 0:14:03with regular payments through 59, 60 and 61 - all from Rattigan.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Guv, they don't let a guy like Rattigan back on the streets
0:14:10 > 0:14:12just because he asks nicely....
0:14:16 > 0:14:18What do you think this is all about?
0:14:22 > 0:14:27It doesn't matter what I think, does it?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I don't know maybe it's all a mistake... I don't know, guv.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- A "mistake"?!- Guv, please.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33You think this is a mistake?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38The Fraud Squad finds bank accounts in my name,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40the Home Office lets Rattigan out of jail,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43and the Serious Crimes Squad offers you a job?
0:14:43 > 0:14:44And you think that's a mistake?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I think you've left out "who really killed Kennedy" there, sir.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Is that it?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Does the name Gitta Bronson ring a bell?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Yeah, Rattigan's defence counsel, why?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Well, she's saying that Rattigan showed her evidence of your corrupt
0:15:06 > 0:15:08relationship with him at the time of the trial.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Who's been telling you this?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Yeah, I see....
0:15:19 > 0:15:20When's your interview?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- Tomorrow.- Tomorrow. Yeah.
0:15:38 > 0:15:44Before you go to London, ring this number.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51The man who answers will meet you at King's Cross,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53and give you something to bring to me.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59OK. OK.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05I love this place.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11I don't like churches - makes me think of funerals.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Good luck with your interview.
0:16:39 > 0:16:427am, David, for the assizes.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Hello, Gitta.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I thought I might see you.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04There'll be two for supper, please, Tim.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Well I suppose you'd like some sort of explanation?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Just let me get out of this awful uniform.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Thank you, Tim.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I was devastated about Isabella's murder.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- I did write to you. Did you...? - Yes, I got your letter. Thank you.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47The same sort of scum who killed her is coming after me,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49and you're helping him.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- George, you know I had to tell the truth.- The truth?
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Look, I know exactly what Rattigan is...
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I did spend six months defending him!
0:17:59 > 0:18:00You misled the court, Gitta.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03You knew he was a pack of lies, didn't you?
0:18:03 > 0:18:04No, I didn't!
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I'm not allowed to tell a lie in court,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10you know that.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12You were brilliant, Gitta.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15You even had me doubting his guilt for a while.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17You should've gone on the stage.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Look, if it'd been down to me,
0:18:22 > 0:18:27I would have cheerfully hammered a six inch nail into his head.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28But it was not down to me.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36This story he spun you, about him and me being partners in crime...?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38He wanted it brought out in court.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Yeah. Why didn't you? - I didn't believe it.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42No, no, no, no.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46You just told me it didn't matter what you believe...
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Yes, all right. It wouldn't've helped his case.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54It came down to his word against yours,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56and the jury would've believed you.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- George Gently, the Met's Mister Clean.- Well...
0:19:00 > 0:19:05The Fraud Squad's apparently "found" documents that incriminate me.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10This wasn't the same stuff that Rattigan showed you seven years ago?
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Very much doubt it.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- You haven't seen it, then?- No.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16All they wanted from me was confirmation that Rattigan
0:19:16 > 0:19:19claimed that at the time that you were corrupt.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26Someone's building a case against you, George. An expert.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Someone who wants to discredit George Gently,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33and I don't think that this is just Rattigan.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34No. He just wants to kill me.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Yes, but... Why is it so personal for him?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40What? You mean apart from me putting him away for 30 years.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I don't know. I've sent down dozens like him...
0:19:42 > 0:19:43But why now?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Well, Rattigan says he knows something
0:19:48 > 0:19:51about the death of a young copper on my force.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53And he wants me to know that he knows something.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Yes. And what's the connection? - I don't know.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59I've been trying to trace this man in the fruit machine rackets.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02A man called Rivers. He's come up from London.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04He's a presence in the Newcastle underworld.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08So, he phones me and asks for a meeting and then suddenly,
0:20:08 > 0:20:09bang,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11he's vanished.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Are you happy to be out?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20All of the false evidence against me has been set aside,
0:20:20 > 0:20:24and the evidence against the true villain,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Inspector George Gently, is in the hands of the authorities.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Rattigan, are you accusing Mr Gently of corruption?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Oi. Oi.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Hello there.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03John Bacchus, Detective Sergeant Kieran Lawson.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Keiran. Nice to meet you.- I'm Detective Inspector Reese Statham.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Hello.- Thanks for coming. Cheers.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Ah, It's my pleasure. Listen, thanks for inviting us down. It's a...
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It's a big ambition of mine to join the Met, actually...
0:21:13 > 0:21:15There is no job, John. I'm sorry.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19What?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I got you down here under false pretences.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Serious Crimes really needs your help.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27What kind of help?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Did you bring your guvnor's diary?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- No.- Told you. Boy Scout.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Hey, no... You asked me to steal my guvnor's diary...
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Borrow. Not steal.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43No. No, I didn't.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54But I did copy down the entries of the days that you asked me for.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Have you got it?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Why don't you give me a good reason?
0:22:05 > 0:22:09What we're about to tell you, John, cannot go further than this room.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13You cannot tell Gently about it.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17If you do, there will be serious repercussions for your career.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Go on.- OK.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25We're trying to find out what happened to this man.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Does the name Rivers mean anything?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- This is Ernie Rivers? - What do you know about him?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Well he's connected to the fruit machine racket.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44He contacted Gently, but he never made the meeting.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45He just disappeared.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Yeah, how do you know he never made the meeting?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Because he never called back.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53No, no, no. How do you know they never met?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Why would he lie to me?
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Rivers was one of us.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04He'd infiltrated a London gang who are currently taking over
0:23:04 > 0:23:08a big, big slice of the bandit business in your area.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10These are major criminals, John.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11We were never told about any of this.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Yeah, we're not going to put an advert in the paper.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19All right, then. What happened with Rivers?
0:23:19 > 0:23:24His real name is Bill Denmoor, Detective Sergeant Bill Denmoor.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26We think he's dead.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30We think somebody found out he was Serious Crimes and killed him.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32"Somebody"?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34You mean Gently, don't you?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Bill Denmoor called in on the first of March
0:23:37 > 0:23:39to say he was setting up a meeting to brief Gently.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- We never heard from him again. - Gently's career's dead in the water, John, believe me.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44I've seen the bank accounts.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46So could you tell us, please?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48What's in Gently's log for that day?
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Friday the first of March, yeah?
0:24:03 > 0:24:04"Meet ER. Question mark."
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Mr Clean. - Gently's been working hand in glove
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- with the London underworld for years.- According to Rattigan...
0:24:10 > 0:24:15We're going to need you, John. You effectively work for us now.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17What? What do you mean?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Yeah, I'll get that put in writing, if you want.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25We need you to help us nail Gently.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I'll organise you somewhere to kip tonight.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29No! I can't. I can't stay in London.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31I haven't got any stuff with us.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32What's in the bag, then?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35It's just some erm...stuff.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42It's just some stuff that Gently asked me to get for him.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Like what?
0:24:43 > 0:24:44I don't know. I don't know he...
0:24:44 > 0:24:47He didn't want me to find out. Come on. Look, no...
0:24:47 > 0:24:50I don't think we should be doing this. Let's just leave it.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14You thought you knew the man. You didn't.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I've got to go.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Kieran'll look after you.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Bit of a shock, I expect.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02There's no job for you here yet,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07but you help us get this right and there will be.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10This is your future now - not him.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14All the same...
0:26:15 > 0:26:17What exactly do you owe him?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20He stood in your way when you tried to move down here four years ago.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25How do you know about that?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I made it my business to know.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I saw the letter he wrote, blocking your move.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Do you want to know what he wrote about you?
0:26:36 > 0:26:37No...
0:26:38 > 0:26:41No...
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Yeah.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48"Susceptible. Gullible.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53"Will be unable to avoid the pitfalls and temptations
0:26:53 > 0:26:55of the big city." And I quote.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03It's a bit rich coming from him, isn't it?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05There you go, gents.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Here you are.- No, no.- Come on.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- I can't do anymore honestly I'm plastered.- Come on, John.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Just...whoa, whoa, that's it.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Do you do this every night? I'm plastered, mate.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Help's on its way.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- DC Owen Galliford.- All right.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- Nice to meet you. - DC Frannie Hilston.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Hello.- Hello mate, Frannie. - Frannie?- Yep.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Sergeant John Bacchus. Now one of us -
0:27:40 > 0:27:41whether he likes it or not.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Which, I have to admit, he didn't.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Welcome, John.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Thank you very much.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Owen took the last call from Bill Denmoor.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Oh, right.- We lost a diamond there.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- To Bill.- Bill.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Bill.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07DOOR OPENS
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Keep your hands where I can see them.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19Don?
0:29:19 > 0:29:21You were always good at poker, George.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25You're in a spot of bother, my dear.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Two filthy habits.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30How many times have I told you -
0:29:30 > 0:29:32you'll be dead before your 35.
0:29:32 > 0:29:37I'll be dead before the end of the week if Rattigan has his way.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39I don't think it's just him you've got to worry about, George.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Yeah. That's what Gitta Bronson says.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Rattigan can't arrange his own release. That's Home Office.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49And where've these bank accounts suddenly appeared from?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51I'm not bothered about bank accounts.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Who's questioning you on Monday?
0:29:56 > 0:29:58- My ACC.- What's he like?
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- We've had our differences... - Does he want shot of you?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- Don't think he cares.- Somebody does.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10I don't think he's bothered one way or another, Don.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Yeah. That's what I thought, George. Look at me.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15One day I'm down Buckingham Palace getting me CBE,
0:30:15 > 0:30:19the next day, "There's your cards, mate, on your way".
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Never saw it coming. Somebody cared.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27What do you do when it's all over, Don?
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Play with me grandkids.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32I can't do that.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35It's not going to be all over for you, George.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37I'm not let them push you into retirement.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40We'll sort something out, you mark my words.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Why did you never go for the top job?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Me? Nah.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Anyway, if you have to ask, it means they don't want you.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Fatal lack of personal ambition.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55You look who gets to be commissioner.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Politicians every time.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Gift of the gab, know how to behave in parties,
0:31:00 > 0:31:02always make the right noises.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05I fitted into that world like a fart in a crowded lift.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09GEORGE LAUGHS
0:31:09 > 0:31:11You need your beauty sleep.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Do you want to stay the night?
0:31:14 > 0:31:18What, you want them calling you a poof on top of everything else?
0:31:18 > 0:31:23No thanks, I'll call you, let you know how it goes.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24I'll be there, George.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27I want to walk through that door with you, shoulder-to-shoulder,
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- when they've admitted they're wrong. - Don...
0:31:30 > 0:31:34You haven't asked me one question about these allegations against me.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Not one. God bless you for that, mate.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38What's to ask?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- For you.- Yeah.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Keep your door locked, George.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Mr Gently, Mr Gently.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Can you tell us what time you're in court? Any comments?
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Is there anything you want to say, Mr Gently?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Stop pushing in. Get back. No, you're not coming in.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09PHONE RINGS
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Morning.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Morning.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Taylor?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- Sir?- No phone calls.- Sir.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30How'd it go?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Ah, you know. Hard to say, ain't it?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Right.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41You get that package for me?
0:32:43 > 0:32:44You're going to kill us.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Am I?
0:32:48 > 0:32:52I left them under a table in a bar in King's Cross
0:32:52 > 0:32:53and then I went for a pee.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- When I came back....- "Them"?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59What was in the package, guv?
0:33:01 > 0:33:02Just forget it, John.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06KNOCK ON DOOR
0:33:06 > 0:33:08- They're ready for you upstairs, sir. - Right.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Can you take your diary with you?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14What, my diaries from eight or nine years ago?
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- No, the current one, they mean.- Why?
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Don't know, just what they said...sir.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- They erm...- What?
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- Good luck.- Yeah.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36Did he bring a bag?
0:33:42 > 0:33:43He doesn't get it, does he?
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Yeah, very good. Very good forgeries.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02I bank with Martins.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04I've never had an account with this lot in my life.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07The account was closed in August 1961 -
0:34:07 > 0:34:10four weeks before Melvyn Rattigan was arrested.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11Is that a coincidence?
0:34:11 > 0:34:14No. It's not a coincidence, it's not anything.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16This account never even existed.
0:34:16 > 0:34:23Closed in cash - the grand sum of £13,567.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Three months later, actually during the trial of Melvyn Rattigan,
0:34:27 > 0:34:32you bought a flat in High Holborn for £15,000,
0:34:32 > 0:34:37putting down 13,000 as a cash deposit.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Is there some bye-law forbidding the purchase of property whilst
0:34:40 > 0:34:42the Old Bailey is in session?
0:34:42 > 0:34:46The cash was a gift. My wife's father gave it to her.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Can you prove that?
0:34:47 > 0:34:50With difficulty - he died shortly afterwards, in Ravenna.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54And my wife a few years later, as you might remember.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57It just so happens that this "gift" was almost exactly the same amount
0:34:57 > 0:34:59as you removed from the account where you were paid
0:34:59 > 0:35:01regular bribes by Mel Rattigan...?
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Well, I would guess that that's not a coincidence.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08I would guess that whoever was concocting this evidence
0:35:08 > 0:35:10would make sure that those amounts roughly tallied.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Cos that's what I would do,
0:35:12 > 0:35:14if I was trying to frame somebody.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Oh, so I'm bent now as well, am I? Like everyone else in the Met?
0:35:16 > 0:35:19- Detective Inspector...- No. I don't think you're bent, actually.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21I think you're an honest man.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Oh, spare me, please.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31These are sworn statements from former
0:35:31 > 0:35:33and serving Metropolitan Police Officers,
0:35:33 > 0:35:37alleging inducements you offered them to join your criminal conspiracy.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Yeah, yeah, yeah. Benvill, Arms, Merit, Severa and Elnicha...
0:35:40 > 0:35:42These are...
0:35:42 > 0:35:45These are all the men who made these allegations, yes?
0:35:45 > 0:35:46Correct.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Every single one of these is corrupt.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52And they know that I know, cos I've told them so.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57All right. Well, what did Rattigan get for all that money?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00What does he say that I actually gave him for all that money?
0:36:00 > 0:36:04I'm afraid you don't get to ask the questions any longer, Chief Inspector.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06I should tell you now
0:36:06 > 0:36:08that in accordance with a warrant granted to me yesterday,
0:36:08 > 0:36:11your home is currently being searched
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- for evidence concerning these allegations...- What?
0:36:14 > 0:36:19And for information regarding the disappearance of Detective Sergeant William Denmoor
0:36:19 > 0:36:21on or about the first of March this year.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22Who?
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Would you hand over your diary, please, Mr Gently?
0:36:31 > 0:36:32Thank you.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48This way, sir.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Carry this out with a bit of care and respect, will you? You don't need that.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04Put it back.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Just sitting there in the drawer.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Who actually found this?- She did.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Get us a bag.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32This needs to be in a forensics lab straightaway.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- Sir.- And the ammunition.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40You met "Ernie Rivers".
0:37:40 > 0:37:44But you knew perfectly well, that he was really Bill Denmoor from Serious Crimes?
0:37:44 > 0:37:45How would I know that?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- Where did you meet? Where is he now, George? - You will show me due respect.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Where is Bill Denmoor, Chief Inspector?
0:37:52 > 0:37:58Look. It says "question mark". "Meet ER question mark". Ask yourself why.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Because no arrangement was made.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02A man calling himself Ernie Rivers called me
0:38:02 > 0:38:06on my home number - my private number -
0:38:06 > 0:38:09and says he's got important information about the fruit machine rackets.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Well, of course I'm agree to meet him.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13He says he'll call back with a time and a place,
0:38:13 > 0:38:15and that's the last I ever hear from him.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16He's lying, sir.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Sir?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24There was a drawer in the wardrobe in the bedroom.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26And this was shoved down the back.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34Interesting?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39It's Gavin Henderson's notebook.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58KNOCK ON DOOR
0:38:58 > 0:39:00DOOR OPENS
0:39:00 > 0:39:01Sir.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16PC Gavin Henderson's missing notebook, found in your cottage.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Together with a handgun,
0:39:20 > 0:39:24and shells of the same calibre used to kill that young officer.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28You did them both, didn't you?
0:39:30 > 0:39:32I have no idea what's going on here.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34No?
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Stand up.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38Stand up!
0:39:51 > 0:39:55George Gently, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder
0:39:55 > 0:39:57of Police Constable Gavin Henderson.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58You do not have to say anything,
0:39:58 > 0:40:01but anything you do say may be used in evidence.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02Do you understand?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Not yet.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29Haven't you got work to go to?
0:40:40 > 0:40:41Biscuits?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Right, erm...
0:40:46 > 0:40:48The last entries Gavin Henderson made before his death
0:40:48 > 0:40:49is three number plates.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52One is a Daimler, registered in Newcastle...
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Bill Denmoor drove a Daimler, told me it made him feel like a bookie.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Yeah, Daimler was registered to Ernie Rivers. The second one is a Vauxhall Viva,
0:40:59 > 0:41:03which was stolen in Bermondsey on 28th of February.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06I'm tracing the owner now, but I'm not sure how far that'll get us
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- if this car's been stolen... - I'll get on that one.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10- No, it's fine. I can do it. - No, no, no. It's London.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12I have ways and means you don't know about.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- I can do it. It's fine. - Kieran takes that.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Anything on the third number?
0:41:18 > 0:41:22Yeah. That one's easy. That was Gently's car. I've had it impounded.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Forensics are searching for fingerprints and blood.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Gently's got no alibi for March the first. Alone at home.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31I'd like to question him.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36No, no, no, we can't have that, John.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38No, no you err... You've still got a loyalty to him.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Not any more. Gavin Henderson was a local lad.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Feelings are running high.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45I could sit in.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49All right.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53Three number plates. One's Ernie Rivers'.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Second one, we don't know, stolen somewhere in London.
0:41:56 > 0:42:01And the third one is yours.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04What does that tell you?
0:42:06 > 0:42:09That whoever killed Denmoor probably killed Gavin Henderson as well.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Oh, Sherlock Holmes lives.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14What it tells me is that you were there.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16Who's your friend?
0:42:18 > 0:42:19Kieran Lawson, Serious Crimes.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Colleague of yours, then?
0:42:24 > 0:42:28Is he the one who found the gun and notebook in my house, by any chance?
0:42:28 > 0:42:29No. That was one of ours.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- Is that what they're telling you, John?- Guv, I was there.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Fond of guns, aren't you, Mr Gently?
0:42:35 > 0:42:39No, I've never actually owned a gun in my life.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43How'd it end up in your drawer then? The gun fairy leave it there?
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- Has Don McGhee turn up yet? - No. Were you expecting him?
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Make a call for me, would you please, John?
0:43:05 > 0:43:08And then I won't ask anything else of you, I promise.
0:43:08 > 0:43:09All right.
0:43:10 > 0:43:11Here you are.
0:43:13 > 0:43:14Thanks.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Her name's Gitta Bronson.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31- Good luck.- Yeah. You too, John.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45What else did he write?
0:43:46 > 0:43:49He wrote, "Don't trust Lawson, he is bent."
0:43:50 > 0:43:52- Beautiful.- Ah, well.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55This must be hard for you. You've done well.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01Listen, do you want to show me Durham? Buy me a beer?
0:44:04 > 0:44:05Aye, go on then.
0:44:18 > 0:44:19How do you intend to plead?
0:44:20 > 0:44:21Not guilty.
0:44:23 > 0:44:24Is there a bail application?
0:44:24 > 0:44:27I'm not represented as yet, Your Worship,
0:44:27 > 0:44:30but I would ask you to grant bail.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33I can't do that, given the gravity of the charge.
0:45:17 > 0:45:21The Judy's held up in reception, awaiting clearance.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25Yeah, they're patting her down. She's probably enjoying that.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32So how's it feel?
0:45:32 > 0:45:36The door slam shut behind you.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Well, you feel abandoned, don't you?
0:45:40 > 0:45:42Even your best mates don't want to know,
0:45:42 > 0:45:44cos they don't expect to ever see you again.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46I mean, half of them wouldn't mind shagging your wife,
0:45:46 > 0:45:48so actually they're glad.
0:45:53 > 0:45:59I lost the lot of them, thanks to you. Wife. Kids.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02She divorced me. Moved away.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05Took the kids, went to a new school. Fee paying.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09Little lords and ladies.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11Then they told their new friends their dad was dead.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19She changed her name by deed poll.
0:46:20 > 0:46:22And the kids did the same thing,
0:46:24 > 0:46:25by choice.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28She give them the choice.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32Anyway... you got to admit,
0:46:32 > 0:46:38I've stitched you up good and proper, ain't I?
0:46:38 > 0:46:42It's not going to get your wife and kids back though, Melvyn, is it?
0:46:48 > 0:46:50I don't care if it takes 20 years.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52You're going to die...
0:46:53 > 0:46:55By me.
0:46:59 > 0:47:03Do your very best for him at the hearing, won't you, Gitta.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05Although I might prefer him out in the open.
0:47:12 > 0:47:17Blimey O'Reilly, George. You sure you're not better off in here...?
0:47:17 > 0:47:18Get me out.
0:47:20 > 0:47:24The police have made strenuous objections to the accused being given bail.
0:47:24 > 0:47:26On what grounds, Madam?
0:47:26 > 0:47:28They feel he is extremely likely to abscond.
0:47:28 > 0:47:29Not at all.
0:47:31 > 0:47:35My client is determined to refute all charges against him,
0:47:35 > 0:47:38and confident of doing so.
0:47:38 > 0:47:43Madam, this is an unconvicted man of unblemished previous character.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48The evidence is all of a circumstantial nature.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50And, as a serving police officer,
0:47:50 > 0:47:53he may truly be said to be at risk in prison.
0:48:06 > 0:48:07Hello, hello, hello.
0:48:10 > 0:48:11Thank you, Tim.
0:48:11 > 0:48:16Thank you very much, I'll have that. And how's my favourite troublemaker?
0:48:16 > 0:48:19Um...very well, thank you, Tim.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22I think he's taken a bit of a shine to you.
0:48:22 > 0:48:25Um... 7am tomorrow, David, please, for the assizes.
0:48:34 > 0:48:38I can't represent you at your trial, you know that.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41You could be giving evidence for the prosecution.
0:48:46 > 0:48:47Tuck in.
0:48:49 > 0:48:51I'm a vegetarian, Tim.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54No, your not, it's just a phase your going through.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56Well, I shan't eat it.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58Leave the steak and kidney and eat the pudding.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03I can't be offering a man like this cauliflower fritters,
0:49:03 > 0:49:04he'll fade away.
0:49:04 > 0:49:07- How do you like your room, Mr Gently? - Very nice, thank you very much.
0:49:07 > 0:49:09I've put him in Grace Darling this time.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11Oh, you'll like that, it gets all the sun.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14You could force cucumbers in there.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16Buzz off, Tim, we'll help ourselves.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19I can take a hint. Buzz, buzz...
0:49:23 > 0:49:25You're have to have a word with him, I can't cope.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Do you want that window open before I go?
0:49:28 > 0:49:29A bit stuffy in here isn't it?
0:49:31 > 0:49:33SILENCED GUN SHOT
0:49:35 > 0:49:38Get down! Go get down!
0:49:39 > 0:49:40- You OK?- Yes, yes.
0:49:45 > 0:49:46Tim?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49He'd dead. Call the police.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03Right, we need you round the back.
0:50:07 > 0:50:08When did you last see Gently?
0:50:08 > 0:50:12- He left soon after I made the call. - On foot?
0:50:12 > 0:50:15Tim had a little runabout. He borrowed that.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17What he asked a dead man's permission, did he?
0:50:20 > 0:50:22What sort of car is it?
0:50:22 > 0:50:23I have no idea.
0:50:25 > 0:50:28Don't suppose he said where he was going? Did he?
0:50:28 > 0:50:31You're his Sergeant, aren't you? The one who telephoned.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33Mrs Bronson, you don't seem to realise...
0:50:33 > 0:50:34Miss.
0:50:35 > 0:50:36Miss Bronson,
0:50:36 > 0:50:38you don't seem to realise -
0:50:38 > 0:50:40we need to find him before Rattigan does.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Well, are you or aren't you?
0:50:44 > 0:50:45Yeah. I am.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47He left a message for you. He said,
0:50:47 > 0:50:50"Be sure to mark what he wrote."
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Which is what exactly?
0:50:52 > 0:50:54About me being bent, guv.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Aye yeah, it's erm...
0:50:56 > 0:50:59I'm sorry to say it, but there's times
0:50:59 > 0:51:03when his obsessional hatred of you lot made him look ridiculous.
0:51:16 > 0:51:21PHONE RINGS INSIDE HOUSE
0:51:24 > 0:51:28- Gramps.- What darling...? I'll answer it in a minute.
0:51:28 > 0:51:29There's a man.
0:51:31 > 0:51:32George...
0:51:32 > 0:51:35Somebody wants to tell you something, Don.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38- Sorry, I couldn't be there like... - Don't.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42Rattigan tried to kill me last night.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46- Cup of coffee?- No thanks.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55All this on a police salary?
0:51:55 > 0:52:00It's clever investment. 100,000 ICI shares.
0:52:00 > 0:52:01You can't beat them.
0:52:02 > 0:52:08Who can that be, I wonder? Serious Crimes? Which one, Don?
0:52:08 > 0:52:10Not Statham, he's honest.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12A Sergeant Lawson.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14Take his number. I'll call him back.
0:52:14 > 0:52:16Shall I take Shelley?
0:52:16 > 0:52:18No, no, no, leave her here.
0:52:18 > 0:52:19Lawson.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22What do you want, George?
0:52:22 > 0:52:24I've got to drop Shelley at pony club.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26Pony club!
0:52:27 > 0:52:30You and Rattigan were in business together, weren't you?
0:52:30 > 0:52:31And you still are...
0:52:33 > 0:52:34Yes.
0:52:34 > 0:52:40Not Rattigan, he's a lunatic these days. Total liability.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42No, I have other partners now.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49I suppose you want some sort of "mea cupla", George..?
0:52:50 > 0:52:56Remember Frank Fontana? Maltese bloke? Ran all the girls.
0:52:56 > 0:52:57Made a fortune.
0:52:58 > 0:52:59Invited me to lunch.
0:53:00 > 0:53:04I thought it'd be just me and the wife, but no...
0:53:04 > 0:53:10Pop stars, sportsmen and women, politicians, judges...
0:53:11 > 0:53:15Thing was, we all knew what Fontana's business was,
0:53:15 > 0:53:18but it didn't seem to matter.
0:53:18 > 0:53:21Like a blinding light, George, I saw the world for what it
0:53:21 > 0:53:24really is, rather than how I'd always wanted it to be.
0:53:24 > 0:53:25Which is what?
0:53:25 > 0:53:29I'd wasted half my life thinking I was on the side of the law,
0:53:29 > 0:53:30but I wasn't.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32Millions like me go to work every day,
0:53:32 > 0:53:37pay their taxes, pay the TV license, obey the law - Mugs.
0:53:38 > 0:53:42No. It became clear to me - Frank was a businessman.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45His business needed protection.
0:53:47 > 0:53:49Frank sold his business to Rattigan, as I recall.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52To be honest, he never wanted to sell it,
0:53:52 > 0:53:57but he didn't fancy all out war with Rattigan, so he went gracefully.
0:53:59 > 0:54:00I wanted to do the same.
0:54:00 > 0:54:03But you couldn't.
0:54:03 > 0:54:06No. I was a business asset. I became Rattigan's property.
0:54:08 > 0:54:12No going gracefully with Melvyn. There's no retiring.
0:54:16 > 0:54:19Is that what Bill Denmoor wanted to talk to me about?
0:54:19 > 0:54:20He'd found out about you?
0:54:22 > 0:54:23I imagine so.
0:54:23 > 0:54:27And that gun that you gave me for my protection,
0:54:27 > 0:54:29that will turn out to be the one
0:54:29 > 0:54:31that killed Gavin Henderson and Bill Denmoor, won't it?
0:54:35 > 0:54:37How many murders have there been, Don?
0:54:39 > 0:54:42How many innocent men framed or silenced?
0:54:44 > 0:54:46You'll be the last, I hope.
0:54:48 > 0:54:49Gramps.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52It's all right darling... It's all right sweetheart,
0:54:52 > 0:54:53it was just a game.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58Don't make a fuss, George. It's how life is.
0:55:01 > 0:55:02Take Rattigan down.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06You and me could be partners, like the old days.
0:55:07 > 0:55:10Did friendship ever mean anything to you, Don?
0:55:12 > 0:55:16Can't spend it, George. Come here, sweetheart.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18PHONE RINGS INSIDE HOUSE
0:55:18 > 0:55:22Answer the phone. Tell Lawson I said "hi".
0:55:24 > 0:55:26And tell him, "I'm destroy the lot of you."
0:56:05 > 0:56:06BOO!
0:56:10 > 0:56:12You're back inside, Rattigan.
0:56:12 > 0:56:15- I was having a bath in the hotel. - Yeah, says who?
0:56:15 > 0:56:19- Local Tom. Blonde, big tits. - Does she have a name?
0:56:19 > 0:56:22Well she did say, but she had one of them Geordie accents,
0:56:22 > 0:56:24so could have been Martha, could of been Arthur.
0:56:24 > 0:56:27You think you're funny, but you're not.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29I am, but it's funny peculiar.
0:56:29 > 0:56:33Nah, you're just another mug on his way back to prison.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36You need to have a little bit of proof, actually.
0:56:36 > 0:56:38I don't, actually.
0:56:38 > 0:56:42I just need to report my suspicions, which I've done, and back you go.
0:56:42 > 0:56:44- Yeah?- Any minute now.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48Any minute now, yeah.
0:56:48 > 0:56:49DOOR OPENS
0:56:49 > 0:56:50You need to ring Scotland Yard.
0:56:50 > 0:56:52- Now?- Now.
0:56:52 > 0:56:53RATTIGAN LAUGHS
0:56:55 > 0:56:57If he moves, kill him.
0:57:18 > 0:57:20What's going on?
0:57:20 > 0:57:24I warned him Rattigan needed 24 hour surveillance, but he knew better, he thought.
0:57:26 > 0:57:27Rattigan's out again.
0:57:27 > 0:57:28What!?
0:57:28 > 0:57:31Wake up, will you? Rattigan has friends.
0:57:33 > 0:57:36Right. OK, so what next?
0:57:36 > 0:57:38I've been told to wait here
0:57:38 > 0:57:41till we get your guvnor safely banged up again.
0:57:41 > 0:57:42So where is he, John?
0:57:42 > 0:57:44Oh, I don't know, Kieran.
0:57:44 > 0:57:46You wouldn't tell me, if you did, would you?
0:57:50 > 0:57:52The guns turned it for you, didn't it?
0:57:52 > 0:57:55I could see it in your face. Question -
0:57:55 > 0:57:58"Why would Gently get me to bring guns up from London
0:57:58 > 0:58:00if he already had one at home in his drawer?"
0:58:00 > 0:58:02- Answer?- What's yours?
0:58:06 > 0:58:11"The guns were evidence against him. He intended to dispose of it."
0:58:11 > 0:58:14Except he didn't, did he? It was just left lying there.
0:58:14 > 0:58:17Like you do, with a gun that you've just killed two coppers with.
0:58:17 > 0:58:19- People do funny things, John. - Oh, for God's sake.
0:58:19 > 0:58:23It never occurred he would be found out. George Gently? Mr Clean?
0:58:23 > 0:58:25It'd never happen, would it?
0:58:27 > 0:58:28CAR HORN BEEPS
0:58:33 > 0:58:34Morning, guv.
0:58:34 > 0:58:36Frannie, how was the trip?
0:58:36 > 0:58:38Durham!
0:58:38 > 0:58:40I wondered where all the flies went for their holidays.
0:58:40 > 0:58:41Now, now, Owen.
0:58:42 > 0:58:45Good to see you. All right, Frannie? Good to see you.
0:58:46 > 0:58:49John's just thinking about where his guvnor might be laying his head.
0:58:49 > 0:58:51- How are you, John? - Hello again.- Good to see you.
0:58:56 > 0:59:00There must be somewhere he'd use, or somebody.
0:59:09 > 0:59:15I just want to say, I don't agree with any of this that's happening with Mr Gently...
0:59:20 > 0:59:23Is he a real policeman, or does he rent that costume?
0:59:26 > 0:59:27OK.
0:59:29 > 0:59:31What? Oh, come on, John.
0:59:31 > 0:59:34We need to get to Gently before Rattigan does.
0:59:34 > 0:59:35OK, all right.
0:59:39 > 0:59:42He got very close to my ex.
0:59:42 > 0:59:44You know, a bit too close.
0:59:45 > 0:59:48And it seemed that the more time she spent with him,
0:59:48 > 0:59:50the colder she got toward me, you know?
0:59:50 > 0:59:53I don't exactly know what he said to her,
0:59:53 > 0:59:55and I don't exactly know what went on.
0:59:57 > 1:00:02But I never got her back, I know that.
1:00:05 > 1:00:06Where is she now?
1:00:24 > 1:00:26What the hell do you think you're playing at?
1:00:26 > 1:00:29You'll cause an accident. What do you want?
1:00:29 > 1:00:30Who are these lot?
1:00:30 > 1:00:32Looking for George.
1:00:32 > 1:00:35- Oi! What you doing? - Going somewhere, Mrs Bacchus?
1:00:35 > 1:00:37Sleeping bags, primus, tins of food.
1:00:37 > 1:00:39We need to find him. For his own good.
1:00:39 > 1:00:43His own good? How could you stoop so low?
1:00:43 > 1:00:45And you lot are London, are you?
1:00:45 > 1:00:49Finally getting what you want, Joe? Playing with the big boys?
1:00:49 > 1:00:52You disgust me. You should be protecting George.
1:00:52 > 1:00:54We were trying to protect him.
1:00:54 > 1:00:56Get your hands off my property!
1:00:57 > 1:00:59Gently's brand, by any chance?
1:00:59 > 1:01:02And a million other people, including me.
1:01:02 > 1:01:05- Where is he, Lisa? - I wouldn't tell yous if I knew.
1:01:05 > 1:01:10Me and Leigh Ann are going camping with the man who's going to be her new dad.
1:01:10 > 1:01:14- He's just gone to pick her up... - Daddy!- Careful, Leigh Ann.
1:01:14 > 1:01:17- Daddy!- Hey, sweetheart. - What's the matter?- It's nothing.
1:01:17 > 1:01:20They're just going, aren't you?
1:01:20 > 1:01:21Leigh Ann, go inside for a minute, pet.
1:01:31 > 1:01:34There is a reason. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't of done it...
1:01:34 > 1:01:36No, I shouldn't of done it. And nor should George Gently.
1:01:36 > 1:01:40He took you under his wing, for God's sake!
1:01:40 > 1:01:42And that was a mistake as well,
1:01:42 > 1:01:46because you will never be half the man he is.
1:01:47 > 1:01:49I despise you, John Bacchus.
1:01:54 > 1:02:00Well if he hasn't done so already, he'll be on a ferry to Hamburg,
1:02:00 > 1:02:02if he's got any sense.
1:02:02 > 1:02:03Scot free.
1:02:06 > 1:02:09Stop pretending with me, OK?
1:02:10 > 1:02:11You what?
1:02:12 > 1:02:15I don't think Gently needed to write about me in your book.
1:02:15 > 1:02:18I think you made your own mind up on me.
1:02:18 > 1:02:19But let me tell you something...
1:02:21 > 1:02:23Gently is guilty. You can't be expected to see that,
1:02:23 > 1:02:28but don't waste any more of my time with stunts like this.
1:02:36 > 1:02:37Actually, that's not what he wrote.
1:02:41 > 1:02:45What he wrote was, "You find the second car, you'll find the killer."
1:02:47 > 1:02:51You took that job off me. Why?
1:02:52 > 1:02:54Well, to make sure it got done.
1:02:55 > 1:02:57Oh, yeah?
1:02:58 > 1:03:01That car was stolen from a pub car park 50 yards away
1:03:01 > 1:03:04from number 19 Halley Street in Bermondsey.
1:03:05 > 1:03:09What does that mean? Hey! Hey!
1:04:01 > 1:04:04CAR APPROACHES
1:04:09 > 1:04:11CAR DOOR CLOSES
1:04:28 > 1:04:32Yeah, make and colour. No sign of the driver.
1:04:32 > 1:04:34- RADIO:- If it's him, he's armed and dangerous.
1:04:34 > 1:04:37Can I have instructions now, please?
1:04:37 > 1:04:39Do not approach, wait for backup.
1:04:48 > 1:04:50I'll take the radio, Constable.
1:04:52 > 1:04:53Toss it over.
1:05:01 > 1:05:03Did you give them your position?
1:05:06 > 1:05:08What were your instructions?
1:05:11 > 1:05:14Not to approach you. Armed and dangerous.
1:05:18 > 1:05:19Well...
1:05:21 > 1:05:22What happens now, do you think?
1:05:27 > 1:05:30Now turn around and walk away. Go on.
1:05:51 > 1:05:54It was this road here. His car was around here.
1:05:54 > 1:05:56It'll still be there. He went a different way.
1:05:56 > 1:05:59He's on foot. All right?
1:05:59 > 1:06:00What's going on?
1:06:00 > 1:06:03Gently was near Rothbury two hours ago, on foot.
1:06:03 > 1:06:05Do you know where Rothbury is?
1:06:06 > 1:06:09- Yeah, course I do. - What sort of gun was it?
1:06:09 > 1:06:11Erm... I never actually got a good look at it.
1:06:11 > 1:06:13I bet you still shat yourself though, eh?
1:06:16 > 1:06:17Did you get any kind of look at it?
1:06:17 > 1:06:21He kept it in his pocket. Why didn't he shoot us?
1:06:29 > 1:06:30BOTH MEN LOAD GUNS
1:06:34 > 1:06:36Does he have any friends in the Rothbury area?
1:06:36 > 1:06:38We could spend a week going door to door.
1:06:38 > 1:06:42No. I've never heard him mention anybody in Rothbury.
1:06:50 > 1:06:52You lads might as well go back to bed.
1:06:52 > 1:06:55We'll erm... We'll start a search in the morning.
1:06:57 > 1:06:59- Night.- Night.
1:07:14 > 1:07:15Where is he?
1:07:18 > 1:07:19It's a guess.
1:07:44 > 1:07:46- Change of plan? - John's had a thought,
1:07:46 > 1:07:49but it'll probably be as good as the one about his missus.
1:07:49 > 1:07:53- You lads turn in. - No, no. Sent to help.
1:08:06 > 1:08:09I need to know what is going on here, Kieran.
1:08:09 > 1:08:12OK. Here it is, John.
1:08:12 > 1:08:16You asked me who lives at 19 Halley Street in Bermondsey,
1:08:16 > 1:08:18near where the Vauxhall had been stolen,
1:08:18 > 1:08:21the one that turned up in Gavin Henderson's notebook.
1:08:24 > 1:08:25Owen Galliford lives there.
1:08:51 > 1:08:53I'll try and lose them.
1:08:54 > 1:08:56- Ready?- Yep.
1:08:56 > 1:08:57CAR SCREECHES AWAY
1:08:57 > 1:08:58After them.
1:10:04 > 1:10:05You?
1:10:14 > 1:10:16You look terrible. Wouldn't you like a cup of tea?
1:10:31 > 1:10:34I never really believed what they were saying.
1:10:34 > 1:10:35Thank you.
1:10:39 > 1:10:42CAR APPROACHES
1:10:48 > 1:10:49Who's that?
1:10:49 > 1:10:54Go inside, lock the door, stay away from the window.
1:10:54 > 1:10:55It's all right, go on.
1:11:17 > 1:11:19Keep those two as far away as possible, OK?
1:11:22 > 1:11:24Hilarious, Speedy Gonzalez.
1:11:24 > 1:11:26You two, go round the back.
1:11:29 > 1:11:30You, stay in the car.
1:11:32 > 1:11:35Kieran, listen to me. There's only one way to do this.
1:11:35 > 1:11:37If Gently is in there,
1:11:37 > 1:11:40I have to persuade him to come out with his hands up, OK, me.
1:11:40 > 1:11:43I don't think they're arrest him, do you?
1:11:43 > 1:11:46Or they could be trying to protect him from us. They could be working with him.
1:11:46 > 1:11:50Do you really believe that stuff about Gently anymore, huh?
1:11:50 > 1:11:55Galliford's car turns up in Gavin Henderson's notebook the night he died.
1:11:55 > 1:11:56Why? Because he killed Denmoor.
1:11:56 > 1:12:00And I'm willing to bet he killed Gavin Henderson an' all.
1:12:00 > 1:12:02Your two mates here have tried to have my guvnor put away,
1:12:02 > 1:12:04and now they're kill him.
1:12:04 > 1:12:07They're criminals, Kieran. They're not bent coppers.
1:12:07 > 1:12:09They're criminals, working inside the Met.
1:12:09 > 1:12:11Oi.
1:12:11 > 1:12:12What?
1:12:12 > 1:12:14I've known these guys half my life.
1:12:16 > 1:12:17It's hard, isn't it?
1:12:19 > 1:12:22I don't know what to believe anymore.
1:12:22 > 1:12:24The less sure you are, the more I like you.
1:12:57 > 1:12:59KNOCKS ON DOOR
1:12:59 > 1:13:00Guv, it's me.
1:13:05 > 1:13:07Mrs Henderson? My name is Sergeant John Bacchus.
1:13:07 > 1:13:10You've nothing to fear. If you're in there, please make yourself known.
1:13:12 > 1:13:14Guv, are you in there?
1:13:17 > 1:13:19If you can hear me, please come out.
1:13:19 > 1:13:22Come out with your hands up and it'll all be OK, I promise.
1:13:25 > 1:13:28You have to trust me, guv. I want you to trust me.
1:13:31 > 1:13:36GUN SHOTS
1:13:45 > 1:13:46GUN SHOT
1:14:01 > 1:14:02Kieran.
1:14:14 > 1:14:16All right.
1:14:19 > 1:14:21This man... and the man through there.
1:14:23 > 1:14:25They killed Denmoor. They were the ones in the second car.
1:14:26 > 1:14:28Pretty sure they killed Gavin Henderson.
1:14:28 > 1:14:30How about this one?
1:14:30 > 1:14:33Nah, No. I thought he was part of it.
1:14:33 > 1:14:36That's why I had to do the things that I did.
1:14:37 > 1:14:39Guv, I had to get him to trust me, you know?
1:14:42 > 1:14:43Give me your gun.
1:14:44 > 1:14:46- Guv...- Gun!
1:14:55 > 1:14:57Car keys.
1:15:04 > 1:15:05You've been hit, guv.
1:15:08 > 1:15:09All right.
1:15:20 > 1:15:22Look after Bernie.
1:15:27 > 1:15:29Guv, You need to go to hospital...
1:15:29 > 1:15:30Don't come after me! I warn you.
1:15:30 > 1:15:32All right. All right. OK.
1:15:33 > 1:15:35I'm finish this.
1:16:02 > 1:16:05KNOCK AT DOOR
1:16:30 > 1:16:33Blimey O'Reilly, what you done this time?
1:16:47 > 1:16:49You got any painkillers?
1:16:51 > 1:16:54I've got some codeine, but you should really get to a hospital...
1:16:55 > 1:16:57Give me all you've got.
1:17:05 > 1:17:06I really need to sleep for an hour.
1:17:15 > 1:17:17I can't drive.
1:17:17 > 1:17:18Nor can I.
1:17:18 > 1:17:20Is your chauffeur reliable?
1:17:22 > 1:17:23Yes...
1:17:38 > 1:17:40Why'd you never marry?
1:17:43 > 1:17:50Well, I dabbled with men in my 20s. Quite a lot, actually.
1:17:51 > 1:17:56But they all seemed so frightfully...fond of themselves.
1:17:58 > 1:18:02They didn't seem to really need me to be fond of them as well...
1:18:04 > 1:18:06So I just got on with the work.
1:18:11 > 1:18:18In the unlikely event that I'm still alive, not incarcerated next week...
1:18:21 > 1:18:24..would you consider having dinner with me?
1:18:26 > 1:18:27Well...
1:18:28 > 1:18:30I'll certainly consider it.
1:18:57 > 1:18:58DOOR OPENS
1:19:00 > 1:19:03Well, shall I perhaps see you later then, George?
1:19:03 > 1:19:05If there's anything left of me.
1:19:06 > 1:19:07Thank you.
1:19:11 > 1:19:12Sorry.
1:19:37 > 1:19:38This'll do.
1:19:54 > 1:19:56There's blood on the seat. I apologise.
1:19:56 > 1:19:58I'll see to it, sir. Would you like me to wait?
1:19:58 > 1:20:00No, thanks.
1:20:01 > 1:20:03Look after Miss Bronson.
1:20:03 > 1:20:04I will, sir.
1:20:30 > 1:20:32RINGS BELL
1:20:36 > 1:20:38Sir?
1:20:38 > 1:20:41You have a Mr Rattigan staying here.
1:20:41 > 1:20:44Erm... Ah, no, he went out a few minutes ago.
1:20:45 > 1:20:48- Would you be Mr Gently?- Yes.
1:20:48 > 1:20:49He left a message for you.
1:20:51 > 1:20:53He said he'll wait for you in the Cathedral.
1:22:17 > 1:22:19Pass key, please.
1:22:22 > 1:22:23It's just up there.
1:22:38 > 1:22:39Rattigan?
1:23:06 > 1:23:11CHOIR SINGS
1:23:52 > 1:23:56SILENCED GUN SHOTS

1:24:52 > 1:24:53SILENCED GUN SHOT
1:24:56 > 1:24:59GUN SHOTS
1:25:04 > 1:25:06Move! Move, get away!
1:25:09 > 1:25:11Owen and Frannie are dead.
1:25:13 > 1:25:14You're not a killer, Don.
1:25:57 > 1:25:58SILENCED GUN SHOT
1:26:11 > 1:26:13Why couldn't you just let it go, George?
1:26:15 > 1:26:17Why do you always have to be Mr Clean?
1:26:19 > 1:26:21Because life isn't a racket, Don.
1:26:23 > 1:26:27And if it is, I don't want to be part of it.
1:26:28 > 1:26:30You're not going to be, are you?
1:26:34 > 1:26:36McGhee...
1:26:40 > 1:26:42I'm unarmed.
1:26:43 > 1:26:46Well you're a mug in that case, son.
1:26:50 > 1:26:51Don't do it, John.
1:27:38 > 1:27:40I was...
1:27:40 > 1:27:42Always on your side, guv.
1:27:45 > 1:27:46I know.
1:27:46 > 1:27:48I'm sorry.
1:27:52 > 1:27:54I left you unarmed.
