0:00:02 > 0:00:04This programme contains some violent scenes.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- DI Denton.- DS Jayne Akers, calling with request for urgent assistance.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Immediate and credible threat to life.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11I need a safe and available destination, ASAP.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16There's been an attack on the police.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20Three of our colleagues have lost their lives in the line of duty.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22You called me that night.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Yes, sir.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29I shouldn't have even been on duty that night.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31I'd do anything not to have been there, not to have picked up
0:00:31 > 0:00:34that call, because for all I know it's going to take away
0:00:34 > 0:00:37the one good thing in my life, and that is being a police officer.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39I'm heading up a newly-formed unit that's taken over
0:00:39 > 0:00:41the search for Carly Kirk.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Oh!
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- DS Arnott, AC-12? - Boss.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50People have underestimated me my whole life.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I'll open up Witness Protection to your team.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58There's a DI in AC-9.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00He's your man. You'll second him.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01As you wish, sir.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Whatever it takes to nail those bastards.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Your call history makes for very interesting reading.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12The night of the ambush she called me to call you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13To say what?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16For you to call her back about the case she was working on.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20This is the home under protective custody,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23of staff nurse Claire Tindall.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26You interviewed her in connection with events at the hospital.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27There are more photos.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32The protected witness. The wee gobshite this was all about.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Christ!
0:01:36 > 0:01:39DI Denton, I'm arresting you for conspiracy to murder
0:01:39 > 0:01:41a protected witness.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45What was in the witness protection files?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Oh, my God. Was it someone you knew?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I'm innocent. You know I am.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40All rise.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Remain standing.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Are you Lindsay Elizabeth Denton?
0:02:57 > 0:02:58- SHE WHISPERS:- Yes.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Please speak up so we can hear you.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Yes.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Sit down, Ms Denton.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Morning, Ms Latimer.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Your Honour, the defendant is charged with conspiracy to murder.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16This is a very serious charge arising from a complex investigation
0:03:16 > 0:03:18by Anti-Corruption Unit 12.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24A 36-year-old woman has been charged with conspiracy to murder.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28There are rumours the victim was a protected witness
0:03:28 > 0:03:30granted immunity from prosecution.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34No further details will be disclosed at present.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38The charging of the 36-year-old woman is a highly significant breakthrough,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41and we're confident that more arrests will follow.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45THE JOURNALISTS CALL OUT QUESTIONS
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Nick Ronson, from the Evening Post.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Thanks. Do you think the Witness Protection Scheme
0:03:49 > 0:03:51is fit for purpose?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54No comment. Thank you all.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57THE JOURNALISTS CALL OUT QUESTIONS
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Well handled, sir.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10- You're the new Media Manager? - Jo Wright.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- New Jo. Have you got a minute? - Sure.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16There's a false speeding story about me...
0:04:16 > 0:04:18With this arrest, sir, it's dead.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Good. A stupid, pointless distraction.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Oh, and civilians don't have to call me sir.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I'd feel uncomfortable not respecting your rank.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30OK. Great.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Is there to be a bail application? - Yes, Your Honour.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Your Honour, the prosecution opposes bail on the following grounds.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39The seriousness of the offence, the defendant has the means
0:04:39 > 0:04:42and knowledge to abscond from justice.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Your Honour, the defendant is a serving police officer
0:04:44 > 0:04:45of excellent standing.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49She has no desire to abscond. She intends to clear her name.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52I'm refusing bail.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56You will be remanded in custody until the 18th of November.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58All rise.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05What about Bella?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Has anyone got an evidence bag for this?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Answering only yes or no, do you understand spoken English?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Yes.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Answering only yes or no, are you Lindsay Elizabeth Denton?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- Yes.- Answering only yes or no,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48are you currently suffering from an infectious disease?
0:05:48 > 0:05:49No.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Answering only yes or no,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53are you currently suffering from a sexually transmitted disease?
0:05:53 > 0:05:54No.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Answering only yes or no, are you or could you be pregnant?
0:05:58 > 0:05:59No.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02You'll reside in the Vulnerable Persons Unit.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You will be in a cell on your own and you will have
0:06:04 > 0:06:06minimal association with the other residents.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Answering only yes or no, do you understand?- Yes.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22When an Offender Management Officer enters your cell,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24she'll order you to move away from the door.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Answering only yes or no, do you understand?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Yeah.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31If you maintain good behaviour, you may request a television set,
0:06:31 > 0:06:35the cost at £2 per week to be taken out of your allowance.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Can I request a piano keyboard, please?
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Answering only yes or no,
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- would you like to request a television set?- No.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Move away from the door.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56DOOR CLOSES AND BUZZER SOUNDS
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- Oh, what's that tosser doing here? - Buggered if I know.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Morning, you two. - Morning, sir.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Sir, what's he doing here? - Oh, yeah...
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Look, our investigation has expanded into Witness Protection.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31The Deputy Chief Constable ordered me to bring on
0:07:31 > 0:07:32a specialist from AC-9.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Those bastards have been keeping us out.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36AC-9 did not make the call, Steve.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Dot Cottan certainly did not make the call.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40This has come directly from the office
0:07:40 > 0:07:41of the Deputy Chief Constable.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I'm not saying you should've run it by us first.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I'm glad you're not saying that, Steve, because that shows you're not
0:07:46 > 0:07:48confused about who's in charge here.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Come on, give him a chance.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53The Tony Gates team was disbanded,
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Cottan went on to distinguish himself, got himself a promotion,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58and the fact of the matter is he was the only officer in that unit
0:07:58 > 0:08:01who was prepared to stand up and give evidence against his boss.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04He's a born Anti-Corruption Officer, poacher turned gamekeeper.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08WARDEN BANGS ON THE DOOR
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Move away from the door!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12DOOR BUZZES
0:09:11 > 0:09:15The dirty bastards put shit in my food. Don't you people check?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Answering yes or no, don't you people check?
0:09:19 > 0:09:23The target of the 5th September ambush was a protected witness.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24To fill you in on the details,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I'd like to introduce you to Detective Inspector Matthew Cottan.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Thank you, Matt. - Thanks a lot, sir.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34In June of 2012,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37a double murder at Greek Lane, Moss Heath,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39that was originally thought to have been drug-related,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42was recrimed as a terrorist incident.
0:09:44 > 0:09:50This individual is John Thomas Hunter.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54He used the name Tommy and had proven links with organised crime.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Tommy co-operated with the investigation
0:09:56 > 0:09:58into the Greek Lane terror incident
0:09:58 > 0:10:01in return for immunity from prosecution.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Tommy was the target of the ambush.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Having been enrolled in the Witness Protection programme,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12he was given a new identity as Alex Campbell
0:10:12 > 0:10:16and relocated to a safe house at 12 St James's Close.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22On the night of September 5th his Witness Protection Officer,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25DS Jayne Akers, notified an immediate threat against her witness
0:10:25 > 0:10:30and attempted to move him into safe custody at 4th Street Station.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33As we all know, Akers was killed
0:10:33 > 0:10:36and the witness received critical injuries.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38A second, successful attempt on his life was made
0:10:38 > 0:10:42at the General Hospital nine days later. Yes?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45No prosecutions resulted from the Greek Lane counter-terror op.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50As a result, as I was going on to say,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53the witness's immunity was in jeopardy.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56The only way for him to stay out of prison was to prove his value.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59So you think this got back to the witness's criminal associates,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01which prompted their plan to silence him?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Exactly that, sir. Yeah.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07DS Akers was the person closest to the witness, trusted by him.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12So if he was going to name names, she'd be the one to know.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14What?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17DS Akers was killed in the ambush.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19How'd it fit that she betrayed Tommy?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Well, unknown to Akers,
0:11:21 > 0:11:25she may also have been the target of the ambush, killed for her silence.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Sounds like a guess.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32I'd call it a working hypothesis.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34We've charged DI Lindsay Denton.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36AC-9 wouldn't happen to be sitting on a connection
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- between Tommy and Denton? - Not that I know of.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Yet. Which is why we are pooling our resources. Thank you, Matthew.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Thanks, sir.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Assignments in respect of the foregoing
0:11:47 > 0:11:51will come via me or DI Cottan. Thank you. That is all.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Also before you go. I've got some hand-outs, should anybody want one.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59For Christ's sake.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34KEYS JINGLE
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Kindly take a seat and your event will commence shortly.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Hello, Inspector, how are you?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Hmm. Tickety-boo.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I need to conduct a further interview in regard to the ambush
0:13:16 > 0:13:18on the night of September 5th.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21You remain under caution.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24There are strict rules for post-charge interview.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26One of which is for the detainee to have put to them information
0:13:26 > 0:13:29which has come to light since they were charged.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31In the interests of justice.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Go on.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- Who was DS Akers' protected witness? - I don't know. I never knew.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- You never saw him, never heard a name?- No.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Have you ever seen this man before?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53No.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Fine. Have it your own way.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Is that the new information? Was that the witness?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Fine. End of conversation.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Why didn't you reveal to Hastings and Arnott that I'd received a call
0:14:14 > 0:14:16off DS Akers' husband on the night of the ambush?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- I didn't need to.- No?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21No. Hastings makes Greece look solvent
0:14:21 > 0:14:23and Arnott can't keep it in his pants.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Their transgressions are minor in comparison. Irrelevant.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30How did you figure out I was an undercover officer?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32What, I give you tips so you can do a better job
0:14:32 > 0:14:35on the next innocent officer that you go after?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I did a good enough job on you.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40You want me on a string,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42wondering when you're going to screw up my career.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44You don't like it when the shoe's on the other foot, do you, Kate?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Let me explain something to you, Inspector.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49You're facing a charge of conspiracy to murder. That's a life sentence.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52I'm not going to be in here for life. I'm innocent
0:14:52 > 0:14:53and I'm going to clear my name
0:14:53 > 0:14:56and that will become apparent at the trial. If we get that far.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- We will. - Is this what you want, Kate?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Wouldn't it be better if you went out and found the actual culprit,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- and got all the charges against me dropped?- The evidence points at you.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Circumstantial evidence.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- The CPS buy it. So will the courts. - Yeah, the courts,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12where it's going to come out that you're connected to the person
0:15:12 > 0:15:14who's much more likely to have set up the ambush.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- There's no connection.- You know what, you're a good liar, Kate.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Not good enough to fool me when you were undercover,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22but good enough to hide that call.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27I'm so glad you did, cos you've made yourself my ticket out of here.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Well, whilst you're in here, bouncing off the walls,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33our investigation rolls on, day after day,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35gathering more evidence against you.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37For one, we'll find out the real reason why you were
0:15:37 > 0:15:39sniffing around that garage.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- I told you.- We'll see.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49DOOR BUZZES
0:16:00 > 0:16:04We've both been here before. So has Major Violent Crime.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06What matters is Denton came here.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Yeah, following a missing persons lead.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11This is the exact place used by Tommy's killer.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13If that isn't a possible connection between the two of them,
0:16:13 > 0:16:14I don't know what is.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26What?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I searched this place. It was flat.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Well, it's not any more.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Get the landlord on the phone.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52We need consent to get a search team over here.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Let's see what comes from the garage.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57But now we've got access to the witness protection files,
0:16:57 > 0:16:58we've got Tommy.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01We've got Akers, who was his WP officer, and her phone records.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03And then we've got Denton.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05But nothing in either the files or the phone history connects
0:17:05 > 0:17:07either party to Denton.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08All right?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10All right.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11You all right?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15So, Gaffer says you were probies with Akers.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- Yeah, I went through Ryton with her. - Honest copper?
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Yeah.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30What?
0:17:30 > 0:17:31We're playing catch-up.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Feels like everybody else got first dibs on this one.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36First thing we did was look for prior contact
0:17:36 > 0:17:38between Akers and Denton.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41They never worked together, they never called each other.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43As far as we can tell, they were complete strangers,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46never met until a few minutes before the ambush.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- As per Denton's statement. - Yeah.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51There's a hell of a lot of evidence against Denton.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Oh, yeah, you're right. There is.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Look, the gaffer's asked me to do a job.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02It's not my fault you were kept out of the loop.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07But really, around the office, you ought to be calling me sir.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Sir.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Sir.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Good. Have a nice day.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Wanker.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Twat.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24OK.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26According to Akers' phone records, a few minutes beforehand,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29she called a number registered to her husband.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32She calls home, says, "I might be a little bit late tonight, love,"
0:18:32 > 0:18:34and then arranges the transfer via Denton.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Makes sense, but let's talk to the husband anyway.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- Good idea. - I'll call him.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39No, it's fine, I'll do it.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Do you mind if we set the interview up for tomorrow though?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- Cos my Tesco's shuts at eight. - All right.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Hi.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00In the morning, I'm going to return to take a statement
0:19:00 > 0:19:01with my partner, Steve Arnott.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04You'll answer all our questions fully and honestly,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06with the exception of disclosing Jayne's request for you
0:19:06 > 0:19:09to contact me and the fact that you did attempt to contact me.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Right. OK. - OK.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Kate...
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I get it.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Last thing I want to do is embarrass you.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38CRIES AND SHOUTS FROM ABOVE
0:20:25 > 0:20:28You picked a good day, Ted.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31We've got Bourbon Creams.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Thanks very much, sir, but I'm fine.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Why didn't you notify me you were arresting DI Denton?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I didn't realise I had to, sir.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I thought we agreed we were on the same team.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47We are, sir,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50it's just there's the principle of non-reciprocity between...
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I'm managing one of the biggest cases, if not the biggest,
0:20:53 > 0:20:55this force has ever seen.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Every move's being watched like a hawk.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02And may I ask if there's any difficulty
0:21:02 > 0:21:04with Denton's arrest, sir?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08No, of course not.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11You did the right thing.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Luckily, we've managed to play this development in our favour.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19It's just that you would've appreciated some forewarning, sir.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21That's all it is.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Well, if I could just beg another minute of your time, please, sir.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25Quickly.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I'm going to send you the audio file of the interview
0:21:28 > 0:21:30with DI Denton in which you'll hear her levelling accusations
0:21:30 > 0:21:34intended to discredit two AC-12 officers.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36DS Stephen Arnott
0:21:36 > 0:21:39is accused of having a liaison with a witness, sir.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40It happens.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- OK.- The second officer?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Well, that would be me, sir.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50DI Denton obtained my financial records and is accusing me
0:21:50 > 0:21:56of having high levels of undisclosed financial losses, sir.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Her actions in obtaining those records are, in my opinion,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01unlawful, sir, but however,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04the information she has against me is correct.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07I'm sorry. How did it happen?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13A retired colleague invited me to invest in a property deal
0:22:13 > 0:22:14in the Irish Republic.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I meant, how did she access your records?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20That's still under investigation, sir.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26You're aware the prosecutor's going for public interest immunity
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- against DI Denton? - I am, sir.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31And there's a chance they'll umbrella AC-12's evidence
0:22:31 > 0:22:34with Witness Protection.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37It's possible this could all end up being brushed under the carpet.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38That's out of my hands, sir.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46This must've been difficult for you, Ted.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48It shows your integrity.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Notwithstanding, I'm going to have to consider
0:22:52 > 0:22:53how it affects your position.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Of course, sir.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Thank you, sir.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Mr Akers, I'm DS Arnott. DC Fleming you know.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- Hi. Hi, Kate.- Hi.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Come in.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- You two seen each other since... - The funeral? No.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I'm, er... I'm very sorry for your loss.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Jayne left for work as normal that morning.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27She didn't say anything about there being anything
0:23:27 > 0:23:31unusual that she had to do that day.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Did your wife ever discuss the particular witness
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- she was dealing with? - Not a word. Jayne didn't do that.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39DI Lindsay Denton. That a name you ever heard from your wife?
0:23:39 > 0:23:40No.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42According to your wife's phone records,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45she made a telephone call at exactly 8:43pm that evening.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47That your number?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51My mobile, yes.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Do you recall what she said?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58She said that something had come up at work
0:23:58 > 0:24:00and that she was going to be home late.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03She said she'd call me later and let me know how things were going.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08That's all?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12To the best of my recollection.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Thank you, Mr Akers. We know this is a difficult time for you.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Your assistance has been valuable.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22I'll see you out.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Sorry, Mr Akers.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30If someone's in fear of their life, a police officer,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33then they do something about it.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Was there anything she said, an unusual turn of phrase,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38a name, anything, that might alert someone to what was going on?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41There wasn't, no.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Thanks again, Mr Akers.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07A word.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25You got something to say about the interview with Akers' husband?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Writing up the statement for the boss.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30He's made me Deputy SIO
0:25:30 > 0:25:33so I'll take a look at it when it's ready.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Congratulations.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39You're worried it doesn't fit, hmm?
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Akers makes a random phone call to Denton, and yet it's all Denton?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45That's why we're looking for connections.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Our side and your side, and we haven't found one.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Have you seen the preliminaries on the search of Denton's house?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Not one piece of incriminating evidence.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58But I'm guessing summat wasn't right with Akers' husband?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- HE CLICKS HIS FINGERS - Cup of tea.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Look, I've put in a request for financial forensics for...
0:26:10 > 0:26:14I've put in a request for financial forensics for Akers' bank account.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16If she was getting paid for information.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Great minds think alike. Nice one.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Well, Denton's in custody. How's the boss going to react?
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Don't know, mate.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26I'm not sure how I feel about sending an innocent copper down.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I need my eight hours a night.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Steve, what was that?
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Nothing. He's a twat.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Stephen.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Sir.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56Shut the door.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Remain standing.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09I've been trying to figure out the best way of dealing with this matter
0:27:09 > 0:27:11and frankly, I'd rather not have to.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13And I don't fancy talking to this nurse about what happened
0:27:13 > 0:27:15between the pair of you. So I'll start with you.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17This isn't relevant to our investigation.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Yes, it is, because we have Denton on tape quoting the regs.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23She was clutching at straws. She'll say anything to undermine us.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Why don't you let me be the judge of that?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28The nurse isn't a witness against Denton.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29She's never even heard of her.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Did you have inappropriate relations with a witness?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34As I've said, sir, she's not a witness.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Not our witness, anyway, and MVC aren't charging her as an accessory.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39So what are you saying, son? What, she was fair game?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42I'm saying I know the difference between screwing up an investigation
0:27:42 > 0:27:44and just screwing.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47There's discreditable conduct and there's just plain right and wrong.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Meaning?- She was already under threat for her little boy's life,
0:27:50 > 0:27:51she was in protective custody.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53If you've got a moral problem, that's down to you.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55There's nothing wrong with MY morality!
0:27:55 > 0:27:57I'm a single bloke and I've got a normal private life.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01With respect, sir, you need a better reason for having this conversation.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03How the hell are we supposed to uphold standards
0:28:03 > 0:28:05if you're running around town not upholding them yourself?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08That's my reason, and it's a bloody good one.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11I'm disappointed, son.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Go on, get out.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Another bollocking? That's all I need.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47No, I'll tell you what you need. Come on.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51So, this nurse, she fit, was she?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53All right.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Well? Did you?
0:28:56 > 0:28:59You need to brush up your interrogation technique.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Don't look now, right...
0:29:03 > 0:29:06What did I say about not looking?
0:29:06 > 0:29:08There's a couple of birds behind you.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Now, I'm not formulating a plan or anything, but...
0:29:12 > 0:29:14There's three of them.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18I'm a bloody Detective Inspector, I can see there's three of 'em.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21There's always one who's got a boyfriend, on her period or summat.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24You were obviously off the day they did gender awareness training.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Hey. I GAVE the gender awareness training.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32This is bloody weird, Dot.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- What, me and you working together? - Well, yeah.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40Well, that's Anti-Corruption, mate. Beggars can't be choosers.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42- And this is all on me, by the way. - No, honestly.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44We'll have no arguments. First things first.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46All right, captain.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Pop over there, yeah?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Ask those lovely ladies what we can get them to drink.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53No food, mind, I'm not made of money.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00PRISONERS CHANT: Bent bitch! Bent bitch! Bent bitch!
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Bent bitch! Bent bitch! Bent bitch!
0:30:04 > 0:30:05Bent bitch!
0:30:07 > 0:30:08DOOR BUZZES
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Can you see it?
0:30:30 > 0:30:31- Hi. - You all right?
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Yeah.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35So there's a body?
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- We're taking it from here. - Sir?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Our crime scene. - You're joking.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42It's our side of the investigation.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43That floor was collapsing
0:30:43 > 0:30:45because there's something underneath it collapsing.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49- It's thanks to Kate the subsidence was even noticed. - Well, top marks for that.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Sir, may I respectfully request any findings be shared?
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Send your request to my office in writing.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Somebody will get back to you within the next ten working days, OK?
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- Yes, please, ladies and gentlemen. - It's OK. I've got it.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Here it comes.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Call me later for initial forensics.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10I've got it.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Let's go.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19We're not making any announcement about the body.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20'You sure, sir?'
0:31:20 > 0:31:23No. Not until we know how it fits in with the overall investigation.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25PHONE BEEPS
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Sorry, Andrew, I've got another call incoming.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- 'OK, boss.'- We'll catch up in the morning.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32OK. Love to Liz and the kids. Bye.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- Mike Dryden. - 'Sorry, sir, it's Jo Rise.'
0:31:35 > 0:31:37New Jo, hi.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39'I'm afraid the Evening Herald is going to run
0:31:39 > 0:31:41'the speeding ticket story.'
0:31:43 > 0:31:47I need to question you further in regards to the industrial estate.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49What were you really doing there?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52I was investigating the disappearance of Carly Kirk.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55As I've already stated.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56Ever been there before?
0:31:56 > 0:32:00- Consorted with individuals connected with the place?- No.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04A body's been found buried under the floor
0:32:04 > 0:32:07of the old A&B Carriage Repairs industrial unit.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Been there about two months.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14And your presence was what, a coincidence?
0:32:14 > 0:32:16I was investigating the disappearance...
0:32:16 > 0:32:19The men who carried out the ambush were the same men who used the nurse
0:32:19 > 0:32:20to gain access to the hospital.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24Same target, same clothing, motorcycle gear.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26They took the nurse to that garage,
0:32:26 > 0:32:29the same place where the girl's body was buried.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30And you went there, too.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37Now, if this was your case, would you write those off as coincidences?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- No.- No. So, one way or another, you're involved.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42No.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47The evidence is out there. We will find it.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52A girl. What age?
0:32:54 > 0:32:55About 15.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Carly Kirk?
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- No ID yet, only initial forensics. - Why not?
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Her face and finger pulps were burnt off
0:33:04 > 0:33:07using a high-temperature flame, most likely a blowtorch.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Her teeth were removed, postmortem, most likely with pliers,
0:33:11 > 0:33:14preventing comparison of dental records.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Cause of death?
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Strangulation using some kind of ligature.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Can her DNA be compared to Carly's?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26There were control samples obtained from her personal effects
0:33:26 > 0:33:30when she disappeared. They haven't been traced as yet.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31They're lost?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35It's just an admin glitch.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40She was a nobody when she was alive.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42And dead, she's still one.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Why are you so convinced it's her?
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Because of a lead I was following.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54The same lead that you think makes out that I had to be in on it.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55I was only searching for Carly.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00Why? Of all the long-term mispers, why her?
0:34:02 > 0:34:04She was... She was only recently disappeared.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08There were leads.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12I thought we'd find her.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17I thought maybe there'd be some good news for once in this job.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Ma'am, what's wrong?
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Look.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34It's tough in here, on anyone.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40They told me about what happened to your food.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41Maybe you could make sure that you
0:34:41 > 0:34:43only eat stuff out of a sealed wrapper.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50They said that you requested a piano keyboard.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52I'm sure that's something we could look at.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54If you can co-operate with our investigation,
0:34:54 > 0:34:55tell us things that we don't already know,
0:34:55 > 0:34:58there's all sorts we can do to improve your situation.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59I know why I'm in here.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Because I picked up a phone.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Because an officer in danger, somebody I'd never even met before,
0:35:04 > 0:35:08requested my help and I did what any decent police officer would do.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Yeah, you did pick up a phone. In a call box.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15To speak to the nurse who was looking after the target of the ambush.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17And lied through your teeth about it ever since.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18That's the reason you're in here.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25I shouldn't have lied.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30I realised how incriminating it sounded.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33That I'd called the nurse.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35So you're admitting it?
0:35:38 > 0:35:39Yeah.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Yeah. So what is your connection with the nurse?
0:35:42 > 0:35:43None.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48It didn't take a genius to work out where the witness was being treated.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50I made calls, always from phone boxes.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Pretended I was from a recruitment agency
0:35:52 > 0:35:55asking for the names of nurses who worked on the intensive care unit.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56Why?
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Because he had to know who was in on it, who was after him.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02I wanted to know if he'd spoken,
0:36:02 > 0:36:04if he'd said anything that could prove my innocence.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Is that the best you can come up with?
0:36:08 > 0:36:11- It's the truth! - Well, it sounds...
0:36:11 > 0:36:15- What? Pathetic? Desperate? - Yeah.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18I wasn't even supposed to be on duty that night.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20I was covering.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23I did that a lot, for the inspectors with families.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26It was my way of trying to get on, I suppose.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Pathetic. Desperate.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34I need you to amend your statement, ma'am, to go on record
0:36:34 > 0:36:38with what you've just admitted regarding the phone call.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39I'm happy to.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Just as soon as you do the same.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Does the Deputy Chief Constable have a statement to make regarding
0:36:50 > 0:36:53the allegation about his speeding offence in the Evening Herald?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55The subject of this briefing is the ongoing investigation
0:36:55 > 0:36:58into the ambush in which three police officers lost their lives.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Are you still the best man for the job?
0:37:00 > 0:37:02I will give a brief statement.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07My wife and I strenuously deny the allegation.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10The fact that...in the midst of what is clearly a complex
0:37:10 > 0:37:12and controversial investigation,
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- the Herald chooses to trot out this inaccurate slur...- Will you resign?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Is your position untenable? - REPORTERS CALL OUT AT ONCE
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Is your position untenable?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Have you still got the chief constable's backing?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Makes a change from a minging subway.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38You all right?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Get you a drink?
0:37:40 > 0:37:41No, I better not have any more.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44Have mine.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47What's wrong?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Rich Akers is hiding something.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58On the night of the ambush, he called me.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02What'd he call you about?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06A message from Jayne.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08She needed to speak to me.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10About moving the witness?
0:38:12 > 0:38:13Why'd you hide it?
0:38:15 > 0:38:16SHE EXHALES
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Rich and I were involved behind Jayne's back.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26I didn't want it coming out.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Who else you told?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39No-one.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40Keep it that way.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42You draw a line around it
0:38:42 > 0:38:44and you walk away from it like it never happened.
0:38:44 > 0:38:45- Steve...- This'd be your career.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47You see a life for yourself outside the job?
0:38:49 > 0:38:50No.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Richard Akers - he won't blab about this?
0:38:57 > 0:38:59He hasn't so far.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00Good.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Down that, I'll get you home.
0:39:02 > 0:39:03Lindsay Denton knows.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11That's what all that business was with your phone.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18She went through my call history, using it as leverage.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Your version of events is - Richard Akers called you
0:39:30 > 0:39:31because he was worried about his wife.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34It didn't materially affect the investigation. End of.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35Steve, that's a lie.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Maybe there are some people out there who always tell the truth
0:39:39 > 0:39:41and ones who always lie.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43The rest of us choose our moments.
0:39:43 > 0:39:44This is one of them.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04The allegation about me and my wife won't go away.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07If you've thrown back a denial,
0:40:07 > 0:40:10often there's a delay while they get corroboration.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Screw them.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13I've got a bigger story for you.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18The person charged in connection with the ambush,
0:40:18 > 0:40:20the 36-year-old woman -
0:40:20 > 0:40:22she's a police officer.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton from the Missing Persons Unit
0:40:25 > 0:40:27at 4th Street Station.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30She led the convoy into the ambush...
0:40:33 > 0:40:36..and conspired in the witness's murder at the hospital.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41'Is it correct that Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton
0:40:41 > 0:40:43'has been charged with conspiracy to murder?
0:40:45 > 0:40:48'I'm not going to be drawn into elaborating on press speculation.'
0:40:48 > 0:40:51God help me, when I find the leak, I'm going to bury the bastard.

0:42:50 > 0:42:52and we can keep this between ourselves?

0:43:03 > 0:43:06Is it OK if I call you Lindsay?
0:43:06 > 0:43:08- Yeah, sure.- Lindsay, could you pop your hands on the table

0:43:10 > 0:43:11Milk, sugar?
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Yeah. Milk, no sugar, please.

0:43:33 > 0:43:34Sir...
0:43:36 > 0:43:39Thank you, Ted, but there's no need. Hat off, at ease.
0:43:40 > 0:43:41Sir.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47I've considered the pros and cons with no little deliberation.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50You're in a vulnerable position.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54An anti-corruption officer is more likely than most to encounter
0:43:54 > 0:43:57situations that place him susceptible to bribery.
0:43:57 > 0:43:58Sir.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03However, coming to me as you did...
0:44:03 > 0:44:05is a mark of your character.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09This is...

0:44:12 > 0:44:14this force has ever carried out.
0:44:16 > 0:44:20I, for one, would feel less confident of success
0:44:20 > 0:44:22without your guiding hand on the tiller.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25I'd like you to carry on.
0:44:28 > 0:44:29I don't know what to say, sir.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33I haven't discussed this with anyone.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36I think the fewer people know about your situation, the better.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Very grateful, sir. Thank you, sir.
0:44:39 > 0:44:40Is there anything I can do to help?
0:44:40 > 0:44:41No, no, sir, no.

0:45:00 > 0:45:03Very interesting question, sir.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Should I have?
0:45:05 > 0:45:07Must be great up there on that pedestal...
0:45:08 > 0:45:09..all holier-than-thou.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14All the further to fall, mind...

0:46:07 > 0:46:10Sir, you and I see certain things differently.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12That doesn't mean there isn't respect.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15Except for my personal views.
0:46:16 > 0:46:17Some.
0:46:20 > 0:46:21We were married at 18.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26She was the only one.
0:46:27 > 0:46:28And we waited.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Is that what you don't respect?
0:46:40 > 0:46:42I spoke to you, sir, in the wrong manner.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44I apologise.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47I'd be grateful if you could see your way to putting it behind us.
0:46:47 > 0:46:48You would, would you?
0:46:50 > 0:46:52Well, I guess it'd be rude not to.
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Don't want to be rude.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59I disappointed you, sir.
0:47:02 > 0:47:03Sometimes I disappoint myself.

0:48:06 > 0:48:09The medical officer doesn't know how bad they'll be.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11He's referred me to a specialist.
0:48:12 > 0:48:13I'm sorry.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17I heard there was a problem with the CCTV recording.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Conveniently.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23DI Denton, I'd like to take a statement from you today
0:48:23 > 0:48:25to be included in evidence,
0:48:25 > 0:48:29regarding your amendments to earlier statements given in evidence.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31We had an agreement about that.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33Are you aware the prosecution's
0:48:33 > 0:48:35made a Public Interest Immunity application?
0:48:35 > 0:48:37It was brought up at my bail hearing.
0:48:37 > 0:48:40Well, it's been accepted.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43They've got non-disclosure of sensitive evidence.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46Included in said sensitive evidence
0:48:46 > 0:48:47is my call history.
0:48:49 > 0:48:50They can't do that.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54I was an undercover officer gathering evidence against you.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57Disclosure of my communications history could jeopardise
0:48:57 > 0:49:01- undercover contacts and future ops. - That's just not true!
0:49:01 > 0:49:02It's a cover-up!
0:49:02 > 0:49:06Our legal team did their job. I'm just here to do mine. Now...
0:49:06 > 0:49:08in regards to the phone call you made...
0:49:08 > 0:49:10What, so your phone call from Akers gets vanished?
0:49:11 > 0:49:14Like the CCTV of me being attacked by two inmates,
0:49:14 > 0:49:17like those same two inmates testifying
0:49:17 > 0:49:18that I burned my own hands
0:49:18 > 0:49:21and that the prison officers tried to stop me?
0:49:21 > 0:49:22SHE SNORTS
0:49:22 > 0:49:24It suits everyone for me to be silenced.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27I'm taking your statement, aren't I?
0:49:27 > 0:49:28Look, this attack -
0:49:28 > 0:49:30it's opened my eyes.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33I was set up to get involved in the transfer of the witness.
0:49:33 > 0:49:36The newspaper leak about me, the attack,
0:49:36 > 0:49:38and now the non-disclosure of evidence -
0:49:38 > 0:49:41it all makes sense, even the screws are involved.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43- They said as much.- They said what?
0:49:43 > 0:49:44They said not to talk to you.
0:49:44 > 0:49:46What, what we're doing now?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49No-one appears to be stopping us.
0:49:49 > 0:49:50No, but...
0:49:50 > 0:49:53Look, you've been badly shaken by the attack.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56Maybe it's best I come when you're feeling better.
0:49:56 > 0:49:57No, wait.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59Listen to me.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02Don't you see how I've been set up?
0:50:02 > 0:50:03Even down to the fact that AC-12
0:50:03 > 0:50:06were prevented from looking at witness protection.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08All you could do was focus on me.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12Now, only somebody at executive level has that kind of power.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17And the only person I told about the operation was Mike Dryden.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24You've lied through your teeth throughout this investigation...
0:50:25 > 0:50:28..and now you're using an exec officer
0:50:28 > 0:50:30as a way of tying us in knots.
0:50:30 > 0:50:31- No, that's not what is it!- Really?
0:50:35 > 0:50:37I know Mike Dryden.
0:50:37 > 0:50:38You "know" him?
0:50:39 > 0:50:40We had an affair.
0:50:40 > 0:50:41Five years.
0:50:43 > 0:50:44And?
0:50:48 > 0:50:50And?
0:50:59 > 0:51:01He didn't leave his wife, did he?
0:51:02 > 0:51:03You gave him an ultimatum
0:51:03 > 0:51:05and then it was all over.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08You and I both know that you don't have the right
0:51:08 > 0:51:10to act superior over our private lives.
0:51:12 > 0:51:13Why are you only telling us this now?
0:51:13 > 0:51:15Because I don't know myself if it's true!
0:51:15 > 0:51:16Why would he do that to me?
0:51:16 > 0:51:18I've done nothing to him.
0:51:18 > 0:51:19If anything, I've protected him.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22No, you're a woman scorned.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24Not only do you get your revenge on him,
0:51:24 > 0:51:27but you use him as a way of screwing up our investigation.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29Do you believe that I'm guilty?
0:51:29 > 0:51:33- I just gather the evidence. The courts decides.- I get it.
0:51:33 > 0:51:34I get it.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36It's your way of dealing with the fact
0:51:36 > 0:51:38that you might be putting away an innocent person.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43I think you're guilty.
