0:00:25 > 0:00:27- Akers chose the route?- Yeah.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30The third victim's name is being withheld from the public
0:00:30 > 0:00:33because she was from Witness Protection - DS Jayne Akers.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Do you think she ever knew?

0:02:46 > 0:02:49We're interested in what you were up to at the hospital.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51There on a tip-off, weren't you?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54If you speak to Superintendent Hastings...
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Where did that tip-off come from, eh?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Who's got that kind of inside information?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I do honestly want to help, sir,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04but I'm really not at liberty to answer that question.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Your partner fell five floors.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13The pathologist had to spoon half her brain back inside her skull.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Do you not want to help us get the bastard that did it?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21There were two of you, weren't there, eh?
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Two of you. One of him.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Sit down.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29You're going nowhere till I've got corroboration you were
0:03:29 > 0:03:30there on lawful business.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59You know a Lorna Barrett?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Of her. She's my next-door neighbour, sir.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Professional Standards are serving you a Reg 15.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Ms Barrett's c/o'd assault occasioning ABH.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13You struck her with a bottle, beat her head against the floor.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15May I, sir?
0:04:16 > 0:04:17DC Foster.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23What are you playing at?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I'd just feel more comfortable with a witness, sir.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Sir. Ma'am.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Would you mind repeating what you just said, sir?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Lorna Barrett alleges you struck her with a bottle
0:04:41 > 0:04:44and alleges you beat her head against the floor.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49Ms Barrett is an alcoholic with a long history of mental illness.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50It's very sad.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53You deny the charges?
0:04:53 > 0:04:58An officer gets accused, falsely, and the vultures start circling.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I'm just not going to take it, sir.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I'm going to clear my name, even if
0:05:03 > 0:05:05it means dragging the lot of you through the courts.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09You're already under investigation by AC-12.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14If Standards have got any sense, they'll make it their problem.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Steve, you're fine. Come on.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Could I have a word with you, please?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Here...if you want to go down that road.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Your treatment of my officer was unsympathetic and provocative.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48As a matter of policy, Anti-Corruption cannot discuss
0:05:48 > 0:05:51the details of any ongoing investigation, as you well know.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Yeah, well, you have it your way, eh?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Leave real policing to the experts.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Experts?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Would that be your guard unit you're referring to, sir?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Are you all right? How's your head? Do you need to see the doctor?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I'm fine. What happened to the guards?
0:06:12 > 0:06:17They got locked out on a disused fire escape chasing an intruder -
0:06:17 > 0:06:19thought they could make their way back to their posts
0:06:19 > 0:06:20before anybody noticed.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Pair of bloody idiots got Georgia killed.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24HE SIGHS
0:06:30 > 0:06:32You can be very proud of your daughter.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37She was a dedicated young officer who gave her life
0:06:37 > 0:06:39trying to protect the public.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44If there's anything I can do, just call on me at any time.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Let me, let me.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I promise you, we'll find the people who did it.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19So...I'm here.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Thank you.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Well, why the mystery?
0:07:28 > 0:07:29We lost Georgia.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33The girl we had dinner with?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Oh, my God, Ted, I'm so sorry.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Is there anything I can do?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Don't.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Don't use the poor girl's death to diminish what you did.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03If you're sending flowers, make them from me too.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32You. I could sue your arse.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36If we could try to get along like grown-ups, maybe you could understand
0:08:36 > 0:08:39that it would help if you didn't play your music so loudly at night.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Well, if it helps you, how about you help me?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Hundred.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I'm not giving you money.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51A hundred and I keep it down.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Ten.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Fine.

0:09:21 > 0:09:26Michelle? I'm DI Denton. Is there somewhere quiet we can talk?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Carly's foster parents thought she might've been with you
0:09:28 > 0:09:30the night she disappeared.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32In your original statement, you referred to a boyfriend?
0:09:32 > 0:09:33I don't know if he was.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37She started hanging out less and it was like maybe he was the reason.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40In your statement, you said you didn't remember his name.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41I think it was Matt or something.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43But the policewoman said if I couldn't be sure,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45not to put it in the statement.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47And what else do you remember about him?
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Asian...
0:09:48 > 0:09:50fit...
0:09:50 > 0:09:51older.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52How old?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Dunno, 30?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57After Carly disappeared, did her boyfriend ever come looking for her?
0:09:57 > 0:09:58No.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Maybe he didn't come looking for her
0:10:02 > 0:10:04because he was in on her disappearance?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- I want to go and see Carly's foster parents again.- OK.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11What's the address again?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Erm, Queen Street.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17FC1 4RC.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I've been trying to find the right time,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28but there never seems to be one.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I'd rather not talk about that.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33People talk, that's all. Round the station.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Well, they shouldn't.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Yes, ma'am.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Sorry, ma'am, I don't mean to badger you, it's just...
0:10:46 > 0:10:48well, you were the one who made the point of calling me in
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- to witness the meeting with Mallick.- True.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56In which case, it might help if you gave me the gen on your neighbour.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57She's lying.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02If you're worried about a charge, though, I could say I was there,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05just to back up your version of events.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Hi.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Hi, I'm Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott. We spoke at the hospital.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Can I come in?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I know you had a very long interview with my colleagues
0:11:49 > 0:11:53on the Major Violent Crime Unit, so I'll keep this as brief as possible.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I want to start with the two firearms officers who were
0:11:56 > 0:11:59assigned to protect the witness.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Why weren't they at their post?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Because of Joe - sorry, that's the only name I've got.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05How?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07He was dressed in scrubs and he told them
0:12:07 > 0:12:10he thought he'd seen someone out on the fire escape with a gun.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12As soon as they stepped out to check, he locked the door.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14How'd he got onto the intensive care unit
0:12:14 > 0:12:16and passed himself off as a nurse?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20I... I gave him access.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23How do you know Joe?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Um, a couple of days earlier,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28he bumped into my car in the hospital car park.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30He was very apologetic.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33He offered to pay for the repairs at his mate's garage,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36so I wouldn't have to wait for the insurance.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38So, tell me how Joe involved you.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43We took my car at his mate's garage, and then he gave me a lift home.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Then the next morning, he called round
0:12:45 > 0:12:47so we could drop Nathan at nursery.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49But instead of going to collect my car,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Joe said we were going to the hospital.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54He said...
0:12:54 > 0:12:56BOY SINGS TO HIMSELF
0:12:59 > 0:13:01He said he knew people who would kill Nathan
0:13:01 > 0:13:03unless I did what they needed me to do.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07I know I should've told someone so they could stop him,
0:13:07 > 0:13:08but I was too scared.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Joe said they'd already killed police,
0:13:11 > 0:13:12so not even they could protect me.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18It's all right.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Around the time of the killing, there was a call to the hospital.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Do you know or have you ever had any contact with a police officer
0:13:26 > 0:13:28named Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton?
0:13:30 > 0:13:31No.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35You're sure? Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Definite.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Was she the one?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44The one?
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Who got killed?
0:13:48 > 0:13:49No.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53ENGINE REVS
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- You OK?- Fine.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05What were Denton's movements while we were at the hospital?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07She made the call, then visited her mum's nursing home.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10I checked it out and she stayed with her mum for exactly half an hour.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12The exact time of the killing.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Perfect alibi - plus using the phone box.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Yeah, well, I checked out the trace. Now, the timing matches exactly
0:14:17 > 0:14:19with an outside call that was connected to the reception desk
0:14:19 > 0:14:22on the intensive care unit - a female voice, same time.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Had to be Denton.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26The caller insisted they page the nurse, but they wouldn't
0:14:26 > 0:14:27because she wouldn't give a name.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33I didn't know Georgia. She seemed nice.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Yeah.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Mate, if you ever need to talk... - Cheers.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Same.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Right. 'Night.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50'Night.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE
0:14:59 > 0:15:02This is an e-fit of the suspect.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04We put that together with the nurse there.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Be great if we could circulate to the press.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Absolutely. I want those guards disciplined.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Sir.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13This can't bloody get out.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15The witness was close to regaining consciousness!
0:15:17 > 0:15:19It's very disappointing, sir.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Our best lead.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Sir.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28So where are you with the vehicle?
0:15:28 > 0:15:29The ambush vehicle?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Yes, the ambush vehicle.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34There's no forensics to connect it to the gunmen.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Since we can't trace them via the vehicle,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38we've been concentrating on traffic cams,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41trying to plot the route that it took that night, but so far we've...
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Nothing.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Right.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55You all right to hang around for a couple of secs, Les?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Jo's got an idea she wants to go over with you.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00All right, sir.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03What idea?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07From now on, Les does the press conferences.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08And this is my idea?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Obviously, if there are any major breakthroughs,
0:16:11 > 0:16:12I'll step back up to the plate.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19So when would it be possible to schedule a meeting with
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Deputy Chief Constable Dryden? - 'His diary's full for the week.'
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Yeah... I appreciate he's got a hectic round of media appoint...
0:16:25 > 0:16:27'I can go back to him.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29'Did you say you were Superintendent Hayman?'
0:16:29 > 0:16:32No, no, Hastings, like the battle.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33'Leave it with me, sir.'
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Thank you kindly.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56I know who you are and I'm already late for a meeting.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I'm so sorry, I know you must be rushed off your feet, but this,
0:16:59 > 0:17:00it won't take a minute of your time.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- You must get so many calls and e-mails...- I'm sorry.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I should've replied. It's been a busy time.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07It's about publicising the disappearance
0:17:07 > 0:17:08of a teenage girl, Carly Kirk.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- You're avoiding me.- No.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I'm a serving Missing Persons detective
0:17:14 > 0:17:17and I intend to discharge my duties until someone tells me otherwise.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Of course.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04At least he spared me the strip search.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05What's going on?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08A&B Carriage Repairs was a legit business, moved on over a year ago.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Unit's been vacant ever since.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12What became of the nurse's car?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Found dumped. It's being checked over for forensics.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- Found any?- Nothing. Nothing here either.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19We're locking it down and moving out.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Hargreaves calls you "Jolly".
0:18:29 > 0:18:31"Jolly" Rogerson.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32He's a laugh a minute.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40By the looks, it's not been touched since they moved out.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Apparently.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44You checked CCTV from the hospital car park?
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Maybe.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Any chance of AC-12 getting a peek?
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Nurse's car.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Joe's car.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03- No accident.- Mm.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08He never once turns round so the camera can see him.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11That's cos he knows it's there.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12You get a trace on that car?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Same story as the ambush - stolen vehicle, cloned plates.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21He's the go-between - you get him, you get the killers,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23you get the police officer they're working with.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30You never saw a face in the hospital?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32No.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Only Georgia did.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Boss, we've had a call off Carly's mate, Michelle.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33She remembered something about the boyfriend.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Said he was into cars, might've been a mechanic.- OK.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Er, just give me a minute.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43We're all set to meet the press.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Come with me a minute.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Take a seat.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Er...
0:21:04 > 0:21:05What's wrong?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Have they found a body?- No. No.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12But unfortunately there isn't going to be a press conference.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Why not?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18There's...insufficient interest in the story.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I get it.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Carly's just some nothing from a broken home.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26I'm so sorry.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- But no-one's giving up on Carly. - This is your job!
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Tess...- Look, this is your job!
0:21:34 > 0:21:39You get them to be here, you get them to ask people to find Carly.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Tess.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- She's upset, DI Denton. We know it's not your fault.- No?
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Whose is it, then?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21What did you tell him? Working late?
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Yeah, something like that.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24He believes you?
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Kate...?
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Are they any nearer to finding out what happened to Jayne?
0:22:39 > 0:22:40I think so.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41And?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46There's a prime suspect.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Sounds like there's a doubt.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49There won't be.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54'This is an e-fit of a suspect strongly linked to the ambush.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55'He used the name Joe.'
0:22:55 > 0:22:59'So there was a connection with the incident at the hospital?'
0:23:00 > 0:23:04'I, er... No, erm, I...'
0:23:04 > 0:23:05' "No" there wasn't an individual
0:23:05 > 0:23:09'connected to the 5th September ambush receiving treatment
0:23:09 > 0:23:12'or "no" this individual wasn't involved in an incident?'

0:23:14 > 0:23:18'As I say, I'm not at liberty to confirm any connection.'
0:23:18 > 0:23:20'Would Deputy Chief Constable Dryden
0:23:20 > 0:23:22'be at liberty to confirm a connection?'
0:23:22 > 0:23:26'I'm constantly in touch with the Deputy Chief Constable.'

0:23:37 > 0:23:38Peace offering.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Kate, that's really not necessary.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Listen, boss, I screwed up. This is an important posting for me.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I was too eager to please.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Thanks.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58You're gorgeous, aren't you? Yes, you are.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Yes, you are.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Aren't they all?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07I bet you get your own way, don't you?

0:24:23 > 0:24:25I had somewhere...
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I just...had to downsize.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I'm sorry, boss, I'm probably interrupting something.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02A couple of minutes, she always turns it down.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04OK.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06And you were right, ma'am, that people shouldn't talk.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Problem is, they do, and no-one's getting to hear your side.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14AC-12, they twist everything and make everyone look guilty.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I wouldn't have taken this posting if I thought you were.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21There's an interesting exercise.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23You take the worst thing you've ever done,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25and you state it in the simplest terms -
0:25:25 > 0:25:28no dressing it up, no implicit mitigation.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I wouldn't want to play that game.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33No, me neither, but AC-12 do.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39What's the worst thing you've ever done to anyone?
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Have you done something, boss?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Yours first.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56Erm...someone told a lie to help a dead man's family,
0:25:56 > 0:25:57and I didn't stand up for the truth.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04No.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08You've done worse than that.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07What do they know, or think they know?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10They've got a source claiming that a vehicle registered
0:29:10 > 0:29:13to your wife was captured by a safety camera
0:29:13 > 0:29:15around 10pm on August 16th.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18A fixed three-point penalty notice was sent to your wife
0:29:18 > 0:29:21and it's alleged she claimed, falsely, that you were the driver.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- How the hell did they get that? - I told you. They've got a source.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27What, some bobby with an axe to grind
0:29:27 > 0:29:29fancies stabbing me in the back for a few quid?
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Don't these idiots realise I'm trying to improve their lot?

0:29:39 > 0:29:41Thank you.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43But if they're confident of their source, they'll run it anyway.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32I can see you're busy, so I'll come straight to the point, if I may.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33I'd be grateful.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35AC-12 would like to access all areas
0:30:35 > 0:30:38relevant to the 5th September ambush.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- Those areas being? - Witness Protection.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42- Ted...- With no reciprocity.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45You know the sensitivity of WP.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49It's prudent to compartmentalise the investigation.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51And how is that going, sir?
0:30:52 > 0:30:56I'm only interested in the best way to get results, Ted.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59We've identified a prime suspect, sir.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02A police officer possibly involved in setting up the ambush,
0:31:02 > 0:31:06and a go-between with links to the criminal parties who carried it out.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08The missing link is in Witness Protection, sir.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- I'm nearly certain of it. - Who are these individuals?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12I'd rather not say at this particular time, sir.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16- "Rather not"?- With respect, sir, that's what no reciprocity means.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20It's the appropriate way of investigating blue-on-blue crime.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23A way of keeping the lid on internal leaks, sir.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Of course.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30We're the best in the business, sir.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I think we can sort this thing out pretty quickly.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- I'll open up Witness Protection to your team.- Thank you, sir.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45There's a DI in AC-9.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47He's your man. You'll second him.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48As you wish, sir.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Whatever it takes to nail those bastards, right, Ted?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Absolutely. Thank you, sir.

0:32:17 > 0:32:20Er, don't go.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Is there something I can do?
0:32:21 > 0:32:23It's me, actually.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25So far, I haven't done anything
0:32:25 > 0:32:27towards your professional development.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Well, you've had a lot on your plate.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37So...why Missing Persons?
0:32:38 > 0:32:42Um... Well, it's challenging detective work, plus,
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- when you do find them, it's massively rewarding emotionally.- Mm.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47When you find them.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Yeah. It's not so brilliant when you don't.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53So, have you done much of this before?
0:32:53 > 0:32:55A year on a Misper Squad at East Mids.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58No! No, then you must know Sally Fordham?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Um...
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- What?- There isn't anybody by that name on the squad.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05Oh.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Sorry, I'm getting mixed up.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13It's been a bit of a rough day.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Do you mind if we pick this up another time?
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- Yeah. No worries.- Great.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Kate.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Thanks for the tea.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00My name is Detective Inspector Denton,

0:35:02 > 0:35:04You suspicious?
0:35:04 > 0:35:06I'm not sure. It's an industrial unit.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07A&B Carriage Repairs?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10That's the empty repair garage they used as a front.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Now I'm suspicious.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14I'll call in back-up.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17I know the location - I can be there in ten minutes.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18If she sees you, then...
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- We'll hold back till you pocket-dial.- Don't blow my cover.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24I won't. But if anything doesn't feel right, you call.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Received.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28SHE EXHALES
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- Boss. - You took your time, didn't you?
0:36:25 > 0:36:29- Sorry, I... - Christ's sake. It's round the back.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Isn't this place part of the Major Violent Crime investigation?
0:36:31 > 0:36:34I started ringing garages to see if any of their employees
0:36:34 > 0:36:36fitted the description of Carly's boyfriend
0:36:36 > 0:36:37and started acting suspiciously
0:36:37 > 0:36:40around about the time of the disappearance.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42This place came up as disused
0:36:42 > 0:36:44but crosschecked with the MVC investigation.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Aren't they protecting the scene?
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Forensics have finished. They've released it.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Ma'am, is this a good idea,
0:36:52 > 0:36:55what with AC-12's investigation into the ambush?
0:36:55 > 0:36:56Ugh!
0:36:56 > 0:36:57Ugh...
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Do I look like I was born yesterday?
0:37:00 > 0:37:01I don't know what you're talking about.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04No? Brand-new DC, doesn't care that I'm under investigation.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Wants to be my new best friend? - I'm just trying to get along.- Yeah?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10What have I told you about being honest with me?
0:37:10 > 0:37:12I hate liars.

0:37:45 > 0:37:49Look, Jo, the Hargreaves interview, the whole thing, this isn't working.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- You're firing me?- No.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56You know that's more hassle than it's worth.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01You're bringing someone else in. Why?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04You have to ask? Seriously?
0:38:26 > 0:38:27Can you talk?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32What's there to say?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37No way did Kate mess up.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38We underestimated her.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41I've let you down, sir.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42Don't talk rubbish.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46DI Denton doesn't know the half we've got on her.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50That call to the hospital, now the stuff with the garage.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Steve, I want you to contact Denton and her rep.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Tell her I want her in here on a Reg 15.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Any prevarication, you arrest her.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01I'm telling you.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55Why didn't you tell me she was your partner?
0:39:57 > 0:39:59You were feeling bad enough already.

0:41:18 > 0:41:23AC-12 interview with DI Denton, in the presence of DI Royal,
0:41:23 > 0:41:26by Superintendent Hastings, DS Arnott and DC Fleming.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30DI Denton, did you assault DC Fleming?
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Sorry, sir, you'll have to help me. Who's DC Fleming?
0:41:36 > 0:41:41For the purposes of the tape, I'm indicating DC Fleming.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43I'm confused, sir. That's DC Foster.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47The officer known to you know as Foster -
0:41:47 > 0:41:49did you assault her, yes or no?
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- No.- You didn't strike her?
0:41:52 > 0:41:55There was an altercation that got a little bit physical.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58For the tape, I note that DC Foster - sorry, Fleming -
0:41:58 > 0:42:00shows no significant injuries.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- You're in the habit of assaulting people, DI Denton?- No.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05- Have you ever assaulted anyone?- No.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- Did you assault Lorna Barrett, your next door neighbour?- No.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10She gave a statement alleging you did. I'll read from it.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15"Lindsay Denton struck me across the side of the head with a bottle
0:42:15 > 0:42:18"and then she beat my head against the floor repeatedly."
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Lorna Barrett's an unreliable witness.
0:42:20 > 0:42:21She's making a vexatious complaint.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23I interviewed Lorna Barrett.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25She provided a coherent account of the assault,
0:42:25 > 0:42:28had injuries consistent with her version of events,
0:42:28 > 0:42:31and accurately described you as the assailant.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34There's a witness to my relationship with Ms Barrett.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36She's in this room right now.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Shall I call you Foster or Fleming?
0:42:40 > 0:42:41Fleming.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Ms Barrett played loud music late at night. Can you confirm that?
0:42:44 > 0:42:45Yes.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47And did I respond in a potentially aggressive fashion
0:42:47 > 0:42:49to Ms Barrett's anti-social behaviour?
0:42:49 > 0:42:51No.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Ms Barrett's allegations represent a history of anti-social conduct,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56who you might have been taken in by, DS Arnott,
0:42:56 > 0:42:58though she doesn't appear to be your type.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08I think we should revisit the events of 5th September.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12DI Denton has already provided a comprehensive statement
0:43:12 > 0:43:14and interview in this regard.
0:43:14 > 0:43:15Yes, as a witness.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17These matters will now be addressed under the terms
0:43:17 > 0:43:20of the Regulation 15 notice you've just been served, DS Arnott.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22You've seen this illustration before -
0:43:22 > 0:43:24document five in your folders.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28It shows the location of the safe house, 12 St James' Close,
0:43:28 > 0:43:31the route taken by the convoy, the location of the ambush which
0:43:31 > 0:43:34led to the deaths of DS Akers, Sergeant Wallis and PC Butler.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37It also shows the location of 4th Street Station,
0:43:37 > 0:43:40which DI Denton has claimed was the intended destination that night.
0:43:40 > 0:43:44DI Denton, this is now your opportunity to amend
0:43:44 > 0:43:47or clarify your previous statement.
0:43:51 > 0:43:52SHE WHISPERS: I've got nothing to add.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55DI Denton has nothing to add.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58There is one specific point we'd like to explore in more depth
0:43:58 > 0:44:00with you, and that is the route.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04This is an excerpt from the first interview with DI Denton.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07For the tape, a transcript will appear on screen.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13- ARNOTT:- This back route, it would lead to 4th Street Station,
0:44:13 > 0:44:15but only if you'd continued along Crown Avenue.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18The vehicles turned left into Long Lane...
0:44:18 > 0:44:23DENTON: The, um... The decision appeared to make sense at the time.
0:44:23 > 0:44:28There were roadworks on Crown Avenue,
0:44:28 > 0:44:31with temporary traffic signals controlling a single lane.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34It was a potential hold-up that would've left us vulnerable.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37There were no roadworks on Crown Avenue that night.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40Works had been completed the day before.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43I wasn't aware.
0:44:43 > 0:44:47- HASTINGS:- You didn't make a point of getting up-to-date travel information?
0:44:47 > 0:44:48No.
0:44:48 > 0:44:49BLEEP
0:44:50 > 0:44:52DI Denton's service vehicle is fitted with
0:44:52 > 0:44:54a Type-60 Travel System.
0:44:54 > 0:44:58I'm familiar with this system and so is DI Denton.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00I've been a passenger in said vehicle
0:45:00 > 0:45:03and observed DI Denton operate this system faultlessly.
0:45:03 > 0:45:07The TS-60 provides instantaneous traffic
0:45:07 > 0:45:10and roadworks information relating to the chosen route.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14The service vehicle driven by DI Denton on the night
0:45:14 > 0:45:17of the ambush was also fitted with the TS-60.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22This system was in operation on the night of September 5th and would
0:45:22 > 0:45:25have advised DI Denton there were no longer roadworks on Crown Avenue.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33You drove them straight into
0:45:33 > 0:45:34that ambush, didn't you?
0:45:37 > 0:45:38It was no accident, was it?
0:45:40 > 0:45:43I genuinely believed that there were roadworks.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45In the stress of the situation,
0:45:45 > 0:45:47I didn't even look at the information on the sat nav.
0:45:47 > 0:45:51I strenuously deny any involvement in setting up the ambush.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55Three of our own - three of YOUR own -
0:45:55 > 0:45:58in the morgue because of you, DI Denton.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00- Make that four.- Yes.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03DC Georgia Trotman, killed attempting to protect
0:46:03 > 0:46:06the life of the witness who was the target of that ambush.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09DI Denton has absolutely no connection
0:46:09 > 0:46:12to the tragic death of DC Trotman.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15You'll kindly keep your counsel till we're said and done.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18The witness survived the ambush and was receiving treatment
0:46:18 > 0:46:21when there was a second, successful, attempt on his life.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23DI Denton was observed making a phone call
0:46:23 > 0:46:25from a public telephone box
0:46:25 > 0:46:28approximately 15 minutes prior to the witness's death.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Why did you use a phone box?
0:46:31 > 0:46:33I didn't want the call appearing in my phone history.
0:46:33 > 0:46:35Yeah we get that, DI Denton. Why didn't you?
0:46:36 > 0:46:39It was an impulse, I knew it was inadvisable.
0:46:39 > 0:46:42Said call was identified with the number of the hospital switchboard -
0:46:42 > 0:46:44it was put through to the intensive care unit
0:46:44 > 0:46:46where the witness was being treated.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48The member of staff who took the call has provided
0:46:48 > 0:46:51a statement that the female caller asked for Staff Nurse Tindall
0:46:51 > 0:46:54by name, Staff Nurse Tindall being the intensive care nurse
0:46:54 > 0:46:56blackmailed into furnishing access to the witness.
0:46:56 > 0:46:57Who made that call, DI Denton?
0:46:57 > 0:46:59- Not me.- I saw you make that call.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02I'm not denying making A call.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05The witness was the only person who could verify that
0:47:05 > 0:47:08I had nothing to do with setting up the ambush.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10I'd heard rumours that he was about to regain consciousness
0:47:10 > 0:47:12and I wanted to find out if they were true.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14How come you knew the name of the nurse,
0:47:14 > 0:47:16- the very same nurse who was involved in killing him?- I didn't.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19I hung up when they put me through. I...
0:47:19 > 0:47:22I realised it was a stupid thing to do. I wasn't thinking.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25You expect us to believe that?
0:47:25 > 0:47:27If I had conspired in the murder...
0:47:27 > 0:47:29Which you didn't.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31..why on earth would I have made a call at that exact time?
0:47:31 > 0:47:33It would only incriminate me.
0:47:33 > 0:47:34It does.
0:47:34 > 0:47:35Funny that.
0:47:38 > 0:47:42I'm sure you've seen this e-fit before. Who is that man?
0:47:42 > 0:47:44I've never seen him before in my life.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46He was at the hospital, about to kill the witness
0:47:46 > 0:47:49and DC Trotman, at exactly the same time you made your phone call.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56DS Arnott, what's your theory on why I'd make that call?
0:47:57 > 0:47:59It was a signal.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02Or you got cold feet, tried to call off the murder.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04I'm as aware as you all are that it isn't possible to trace
0:48:04 > 0:48:07a call within an internal telephone network.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10All you can do is identify the number dialled from the call box
0:48:10 > 0:48:12as being that of the hospital switchboard -
0:48:12 > 0:48:14and I admit to that part.
0:48:14 > 0:48:16After that, all you have is the vague evidence from somebody
0:48:16 > 0:48:19who can't be sure who called, what they said, or why.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21I deny that it was me who asked to speak to the nurse.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25That your final answer?
0:48:32 > 0:48:33DC Fleming?
0:48:36 > 0:48:39DI Denton text-messaged me to attend a meeting
0:48:39 > 0:48:41at the Canalside Industrial Estate,
0:48:41 > 0:48:44purporting to be in connection with a breakthrough
0:48:44 > 0:48:46in a missing persons enquiry.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49The specific location given by DI Denton was a unit formerly
0:48:49 > 0:48:51belonging to A&B Carriage Repairs.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54This disused unit was a front for individuals connected
0:48:54 > 0:48:57with the 5th of September ambush.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00What was your connection, DI Denton?
0:49:00 > 0:49:02There's no connection to me.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05I went there following a lead on my investigation
0:49:05 > 0:49:08into the disappearance of a 15-year-old girl.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11The fact that it'd gone out of business and was already connected
0:49:11 > 0:49:15to an ongoing investigation - these facts only added to my suspicions.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17Yes, but instead of following your suspicions,
0:49:17 > 0:49:21- you assault DC Fleming. - I was emotional, sir.- Why?
0:49:21 > 0:49:23I imagined what it must've been like for that girl
0:49:23 > 0:49:25if she'd been abducted to that place.
0:49:25 > 0:49:29I was frustrated with the case, and I was angry with DC Fleming's lies.
0:49:29 > 0:49:33Lies, yes, you don't like being lied to, do you, DI Denton?
0:49:33 > 0:49:36The fact of the matter is, neither do we.
0:49:36 > 0:49:37DI Denton, I'm arresting you
0:49:37 > 0:49:39for conspiracy to murder a protected witness.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42- State the grounds. - You do not have to say anything.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44Under Code G of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act,
0:49:44 > 0:49:47state the grounds. Why are you arresting me?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49As the arresting officer, I submit...
0:49:49 > 0:49:52One - you're the sole survivor of an ambush
0:49:52 > 0:49:54you had the means of setting up.
0:49:54 > 0:49:55Two - you made a phone call,
0:49:55 > 0:49:58and freely admit that you made a phone call,
0:49:58 > 0:50:01to the hospital, after which two people were murdered.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04Regarding the Police and Criminal Evidence Act,
0:50:04 > 0:50:08I note subsection 5C(1), C(2), E and F,
0:50:08 > 0:50:12and I'm sure you're very familiar with those terms.
0:50:12 > 0:50:17Lindsay Denton, you do not have to say anything, however,
0:50:17 > 0:50:20you may harm your defence if you fail to mention
0:50:20 > 0:50:24when questioned something you later rely on in court.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26Anything you do say may be used in evidence.
0:50:29 > 0:50:32I would like to say something.
0:50:32 > 0:50:33Keep the tape running.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38Superintendent Hastings,
0:50:38 > 0:50:43I have in my possession certain financial records pertaining to you.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49How the hell did you get these?
0:50:49 > 0:50:51The document requests were signed off by an officer
0:50:51 > 0:50:53of Chief Superintendent rank.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55Anything I say may be used in evidence -
0:50:55 > 0:50:57that works both ways, sir.
0:50:57 > 0:51:01Sir, DI Denton has asked that the tape be left running.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03She's got a right to be heard.
0:51:03 > 0:51:05Without going into details, the records show that
0:51:05 > 0:51:09Superintendent Hastings is in considerable financial difficulties.
0:51:11 > 0:51:17These have absolutely no relevance to the case against you, DI Denton.
0:51:17 > 0:51:21I'm reading from a transcript of our first interview.
0:51:21 > 0:51:25Superintendent Hastings - "Our strongest supposition is that
0:51:25 > 0:51:28"criminal interests attempted to assassinate
0:51:28 > 0:51:30"the witness to prevent him testifying.
0:51:30 > 0:51:34"Those interests would pay a pretty penny for an inside man, or woman.
0:51:34 > 0:51:38"Any officer in the kind of financial mess you're in, DI Denton,
0:51:38 > 0:51:40"is honour-bound to declare it,
0:51:40 > 0:51:42"on account of vulnerability to bribery."
0:51:44 > 0:51:46Have you declared your situation, sir?
0:51:49 > 0:51:50Sir?
0:51:50 > 0:51:52No.
0:51:52 > 0:51:53"No."
0:51:58 > 0:52:02DS Arnott, I'd like you to view these photographs.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12Do you recognise the location?
0:52:12 > 0:52:15- Yeah.- This is the home, under protective custody,
0:52:15 > 0:52:18of Staff Nurse Claire Tindall.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21You interviewed her in connection with events at the hospital.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23- There are more photos. - How did you get these?
0:52:23 > 0:52:25For the tape, the images show DS Arnott returning
0:52:25 > 0:52:27to Staff Nurse Tindall's home.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30And he's later photographed in an upstairs bedroom with her.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33What was the purpose of your return visit?
0:52:36 > 0:52:37(Um...)
0:52:37 > 0:52:40I'm sure you took notes of the conversation. May we hear them?
0:52:44 > 0:52:46No notes, then?
0:52:47 > 0:52:49I'm sure you're aware -
0:52:49 > 0:52:51or perhaps you're not, but I hope that Superintendent Hastings is -
0:52:51 > 0:52:54that inappropriate relations with a witness
0:52:54 > 0:52:57is a breach of the England & Wales Police Conduct Regulations 2008.
0:52:57 > 0:52:58I know the Regs.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01Were you coaching Staff Nurse Tindall to corroborate
0:53:01 > 0:53:03the allegations against me regarding the call to the hospital?
0:53:03 > 0:53:05- I don't have to.- No?
0:53:05 > 0:53:07I'd say you're in desperate need of someone being able
0:53:07 > 0:53:09to identify me as the caller.
0:53:09 > 0:53:11Was Staff Nurse Tindall able to do that for you?
0:53:15 > 0:53:18For the tape, DS Arnott's not forthcoming.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21- No.- No, she wasn't able?
0:53:23 > 0:53:24She wasn't able.
0:53:24 > 0:53:27Was she able to state any relationship with me?
0:53:27 > 0:53:28No.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33We've established that you know the witness better than most.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35Is she likely to lie?
0:53:36 > 0:53:40- No.- If I was connected, she'd say, wouldn't she?
0:53:42 > 0:53:44Yes.
0:53:44 > 0:53:48DS Arnott, you know a suspect's three incriminating criteria.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53Motive, opportunity, means.
0:53:53 > 0:53:55Motive - I had none.
0:53:55 > 0:53:59Why on earth would I want to kill fellow officers?
0:53:59 > 0:54:02Opportunity - I had none.
0:54:02 > 0:54:05I only found out about the witness in a phone call
0:54:05 > 0:54:07one hour before the ambush.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10Means - I had none.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12I've never worked Serious Crime.
0:54:12 > 0:54:16I don't have the criminal connections to be able to conspire in an ambush.
0:54:18 > 0:54:20DC Fleming.
0:54:20 > 0:54:21Is this your mobile phone?
0:54:24 > 0:54:26- QUIETLY:- Yes. - Please speak up for the tape.
0:54:27 > 0:54:28Yes.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30I came into possession of this mobile phone
0:54:30 > 0:54:33during our altercation at the Canalside Industrial Estate,
0:54:33 > 0:54:34is that correct?
0:54:35 > 0:54:38Yeah. You stole it from me.
0:54:38 > 0:54:42Your call history makes for very interesting reading.
