0:15:34 > 0:15:35We'll manage.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39The fact that he's Deputy Chief Constable - that's not an issue, no?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41He's been accused of lying about a driving offence
0:15:41 > 0:15:43and it's all just melted away,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46it's nothing to do with him being the DCC?

0:16:03 > 0:16:07Dryden ordered the killings of four police officers

0:17:05 > 0:17:06I was kidnapped.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Yes, well, we'll let a court determine that, shall we?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11They weren't springing her, sir. They were going to kill her.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Kate, will you do that, anyway?
0:17:13 > 0:17:14- Yes, sir.- Mm-hm.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16We'll also need your clothes for forensics.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Nothing personal, you understand, it's procedure.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20We'll have a doctor look at you,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22and in the meantime, we'll take care of you.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Kate, you get a female officer to recover her clothes, yeah.- Sir.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26No, no. Not you.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28We want your clothes as well.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30There's an audio file, sir. You'll hear she's innocent.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Yes, and I will listen to it.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35When you're done here, you place her in protective custody
0:17:35 > 0:17:37in a random police station under a false ID.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Kate.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Lindsay Denton, you're to be charged with escape from lawful custody.

0:18:43 > 0:18:47The lip-reader's analysed the tape. Nothing incriminating, just banter.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50But Dryden and Prasad appear to be on friendly terms.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Looking at their personnel records,
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Dryden was Department Head at Vice when Prasad joined as a DC.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58They knew each other well, sir.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Detective Chief Superintendent Hargreaves, sir, and that is final.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Give us a minute, Les.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37Do I have to drag it out of you, Ted?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41The two gunmen are or were serving detectives
0:20:41 > 0:20:43assigned to Vice, sir.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Well... That is a matter of great sensitivity.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57It's the right thing to do... to keep a lid on it.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Who-Who were they?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I'd rather not say, sir, I'm still gathering information.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05There's those two plus Akers.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06And Denton, of course.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Of course, there may be others, sir, involved in the conspiracy,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13others yet to be identified.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Well. Very good. Very good.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Being indiscreet for a moment,
0:21:29 > 0:21:33you could be looking at a promotion here, Ted...
0:21:33 > 0:21:34assuming you want it.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41It's a team effort, sir.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53but stick around for the press conference.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Press conference, sir?
0:21:54 > 0:21:55What did I say about false modesty?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58This is the breakthrough we've been desperate for.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01If you'll excuse us, Ted?
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Sir.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Sorry to keep you.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Dr Kaur will see you now,

0:22:13 > 0:22:14Thanks.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Dr Kaur wants her notes downloaded. She was seen earlier this year.

0:23:12 > 0:23:13- All right.- All right.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18You want one, sir?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Or have you packed up now you've gone squeaky clean?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24I have packed up, as it happens.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28It's another thing you can act superior about then, sir.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31We're off duty, mate. It's still "Dot".
0:23:34 > 0:23:35How can I help you, sir?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Look. It's all about information in this game.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42I was hoping you could help me out
0:23:42 > 0:23:46with some information about a certain Executive Officer.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48You're asking the wrong bloke.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Aforementioned Executive Officer
0:23:50 > 0:23:54had his name splashed all over the papers for his wife's SP30.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57A paper you used to throw the odd titbit every now and then,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59if I remember right.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00No comment.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Look, it's no skin off my nose
0:24:01 > 0:24:03if you're making a bit of extra holiday pay.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Perk of the job. What counts is what happened with Dryden.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09What really happened that night?
0:24:09 > 0:24:13You're in AC five minutes, you think it's all right to grass on your own.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Dryden - one of our own?
0:24:16 > 0:24:21What...he's having posh lunches with the PCC and shagging on expenses.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22We don't owe him anything, mate.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Well, if it's a choice between sticking it to an Exec
0:24:26 > 0:24:29or sticking it to AC, I'll have to think about it.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32This is all off record.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Come on...
0:24:35 > 0:24:37help me stick it to that smug bastard.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44What I heard was it was going round wife to wife.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48She was in a state about the SP30, terrified about the embarrassment.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Then, all of a sudden...
0:24:50 > 0:24:53it wasn't her who was driving, it was him.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55So what was he up to?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59You got it from Vice.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01You never heard it from me.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Scout's honour.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06He likes 'em young.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11You got a name you can throw me from Vice?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13There is a lad. Mouthy.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Jez Cole.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Jez Cole.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Jeremy Cole?
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Yeah, I've... I've heard they call him The Caddy.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31I'll have to take your word for that.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Will you, though?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36What?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Look, if you think you've got it bad, you should try AC.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41The bean-counters are all over you for everything.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43But I need to get this box ticked.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47All you have to do is say you've heard this nickname used for Cole.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53It'll make it easier to keep your name out the Dryden saga.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56I don't think the DCC'd be best pleased
0:25:56 > 0:25:59to find out who'd splashed his name all over the papers.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04But it won't come to that.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08For old times' sake.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Apparently Cole likes to wear golf jumpers
0:26:14 > 0:26:15but he's never played the game.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Hence, the Caddy.

0:27:01 > 0:27:02He's already talked.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Have you told Lindsay he's alive?
0:27:10 > 0:27:11No.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Good.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25You should get off home.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I'm going to stay.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I want to be here when he comes round.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36All right. Night.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21Cheers.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25what it's like to be locked up 24 hours a day, have you?
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- I'm sorry.- Hold me on the original conspiracy charge
0:28:28 > 0:28:31but please let me make a second bail application.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Please, Steve, I can't be locked up any more.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18Your Honour, the defendant wishes to make a second bail application.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20I'll hear it.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22The defendant has proved she's not a flight risk
0:29:22 > 0:29:25by willingly surrendering herself into police custody.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27She's also fully cooperating with Anti-Corruption Unit 12

0:29:47 > 0:29:50This is on the basis, Your Honour, that the defendant
0:29:50 > 0:29:54continues to cooperate fully with Anti-Corruption Unit 12.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01From what I've heard, bail is granted subject to these conditions.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35The, er...the base unit...
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Yep, will alert you if I run off into the night.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- A uniformed officer will remain outside.- Is that overkill?
0:30:41 > 0:30:42For your protection.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Right. Yeah. Thanks.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Great(!)
0:30:59 > 0:31:01I don't suppose you've got any ketchup?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Must've left it with the pickled onions and mushy peas.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06- Are you being sarcastic?- A bit.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09I've just had my fill recently
0:31:09 > 0:31:12of people speaking to me in a mean-spirited way, that's all.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13Sorry.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18What happened to the cat?
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Taken to a home when I got put on remand.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Will you be able to get it back?
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Her. She's been adopted.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29- Sorry, I didn't mean to... - It's all right.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Probably thought it was just a cat.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Mike was the same. He was allergic.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37He said we could never move in together if I kept a cat.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- My previous cat.- You got rid of it?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Well, I...I thought he would move in.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47You must hate him for it.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Like you said, it was just a cat.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52I didn't say that.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Well, I'm home.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I'm semi-free.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58And you got wine.

0:33:24 > 0:33:26Now, is all this true?
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Whether it's true or false is irrelevant.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33It was obtained under duress, so it's inadmissible in court.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Well, we've got a pile of evidence that is admissible.

0:33:54 > 0:33:55Jesus.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Let's talk about this 15-year-old girl.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01Carly Kirk.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04We have witnesses telling us that you were her boyfriend.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06You mopped up the DNA control samples
0:34:06 > 0:34:10from her foster parents' home so her body couldn't be identified.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13That your idea, Manish, or was it Dryden's?
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Did Dryden kill her?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20I request immunity from prosecution
0:34:20 > 0:34:23and enrolment in a witness protection programme.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Look, we have you on tape at a City Hall function
0:34:26 > 0:34:27with Dryden and Carly Kirk.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32Immunity.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34What were the three of you doing there together?
0:34:36 > 0:34:37Immunity.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Steve. There's summat you need to see.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05This was found in the boot of Prasad's private car,
0:35:05 > 0:35:06under the spare wheel.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10So the night we're interested in is the 16th August,
0:35:10 > 0:35:12the night of the driving offence.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Carly Kirk.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21He must've left the reception with her.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Keep going.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28Got the bastard.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Open those last files.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43We've got Prasad's dying declaration
0:35:43 > 0:35:46it was Dryden who set up the ambush, and now we have the motive.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47These photos were also found.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50This appears to be Carly Kirk's body before it was buried
0:35:50 > 0:35:53under the concrete floor at the industrial unit.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Good work.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Good work, yeah.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08There's just one thing I don't understand here.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10If Prasad had these photographs,
0:36:10 > 0:36:13to my mind, that makes him part of the effort to blackmail Dryden.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15So what are you saying - that he just changes sides,
0:36:15 > 0:36:18does Dryden's bidding, and sets up the ambush?
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Well, until we get the CPS to agree to terms on Prasad's immunity,
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- we're stuck.- And we're stuck on Dryden without Prasad's testimony.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31It's too many ifs and buts.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33That's why we need to fill in the gaps with Dryden.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35We're past the evidence threshold, sir.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37We can't do much more without arresting him.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- We would've done, if he weren't the DCC, eh?- Yeah.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55Do it.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- Sir.- Sir.- Sir.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21What's going on?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Would you come with us, please, sir?
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Where?- We've made an arrangement with East Midlands.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Superintendent Hastings felt that was the most sensitive way to proceed.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Work, love. Give us a minute.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Please.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46I'm not going to make this easy for you.

0:37:52 > 0:37:53We're not arresting you at this time

0:38:02 > 0:38:04We're not going anywhere, sir,
0:38:04 > 0:38:07unless you're coming with us.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Michael Dryden, I am arresting you.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you fail
0:38:18 > 0:38:21to mention when questioned something you later rely on in court.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Anything you do say may be used in evidence.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29CHAT AND LAUGHTER
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- Hiya.- Hi.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- Do you want a drink? - No. No, sit down, love.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48Is everything OK?
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Um...
0:38:51 > 0:38:53About the cruise...
0:38:54 > 0:38:56I got ahead of myself.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00You got my hopes up.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Why, if you couldn't follow through?
0:39:05 > 0:39:06It has to do with work.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10I had to do the right thing.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Oh.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22I've already been in custody for eight hours.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Think you'd better get a move on. Clock's ticking.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29In respect of the night of 5th September, the night of the ambush,
0:41:29 > 0:41:31you received a phone call from DI Denton.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33We've covered this.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Well, one question requires further examination.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37Prior to the call,
0:41:37 > 0:41:40what was your relationship, if any, with DI Denton?
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Two things. One - there was no relationship.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46Two - this lies outside the parameters of the investigation.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Well, we're at liberty to investigate any connection to the ambush,
0:41:49 > 0:41:51its conspirators and its alleged conspirators.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56- WHISPERS:- You should answer.
0:42:01 > 0:42:02May I continue, sir?
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Apparently you may.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- Did you know her?- Yes. We worked together in Crime Analysis,
0:42:08 > 0:42:11a six-month posting, about five years ago.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12DI Denton was on duty that night,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15covering for Inspector Joseph Barlow.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Inspector Barlow was invited by you to attend a Crime Executive seminar.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21By my office, not by me.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23The Crime Executive meets once a month.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26We regularly invite officers of all ranks and specialisations.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28If Barlow hadn't been there,
0:42:28 > 0:42:31he would've been the Duty Inspector the night of the ambush, not Denton.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34The names come up on a list. Barlow wasn't cherry-picked.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37- It's a coincidence.- But you accept as a result of your invitation...
0:42:37 > 0:42:40It's a coincidence, an unfortunate one. Move on.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48On the call from DI Denton, you addressed her as "Linda".
0:42:49 > 0:42:50Did I?
0:42:50 > 0:42:53According to Denton, that's what you called her.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56I don't get where you're going with this.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59One theory would be that you were trying to conceal to your wife
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- that you were receiving a call from DI Denton.- And it'd be wrong.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05According to Denton's statement, when you worked together,
0:43:05 > 0:43:07your relationship went beyond the purely professional.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10First half-baked theories, now innuendo.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13You must want to face a suit for wrongful arrest.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15You deny an affair with Lindsay Denton?
0:43:15 > 0:43:16I do.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19You deny spending nights together at her residence,
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Queens' Arms Hotel, among other places?
0:43:21 > 0:43:25I strenuously deny an affair with Lindsay Denton.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30An affair isn't necessarily the same as sexual relations.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33Have you had sexual relations with Lindsay Denton?
0:43:35 > 0:43:38I need a definition of sexual relations.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40If I may, sir.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45"For the purpose of this investigation,
0:43:45 > 0:43:49"a person engages in sexual relations when the person knowingly
0:43:49 > 0:43:52"engages in, receives or causes contact with the genitalia, anus,
0:43:52 > 0:43:55"groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks of any person
0:43:55 > 0:43:59"with an intent to arouse or gratify sexual desire.
0:43:59 > 0:44:00"Contact means intentional touching,
0:44:00 > 0:44:03"either directly or through clothing."
0:44:07 > 0:44:10I shagged her a couple of times, she was a bunny-boiler, and I moved on.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13Obviously she wanted there to be more to it.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20Ma'am, if you'd kindly refer to Document 3 in your folder,
0:44:20 > 0:44:22you'll see signed authority
0:44:22 > 0:44:25to access your client's telecommunication records.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29I see Superintendent Hastings' signature.
0:44:33 > 0:44:37Sir, if you'd kindly refer to Document 4 in your folder,
0:44:37 > 0:44:40you'll see said records relating to the 16th August of this year.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43I see them.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46You'll see a call was made at 9:33pm from your mobile phone,
0:44:46 > 0:44:49lasting approximately 20 seconds.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52Do you recognise the number receiving the call?
0:44:52 > 0:44:53No.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56This mobile phone is registered to Lindsay Denton.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00- I made that call. - What was said in that call?
0:45:00 > 0:45:01It was a long time ago.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04According to Denton's statement, you sounded distressed.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07- Why were you distressed? - I'm sick of her bullshit!
0:45:17 > 0:45:19I called Lindsay because she'd been following me.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22Just when I think she's got the message, there she is again.
0:45:22 > 0:45:23Could be a week, could be a month.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26But she turns up and it starts all over again.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28You're alleging she's a stalker, sir?
0:45:28 > 0:45:31That's exactly what I'm alleging. She knows she can get away with it
0:45:31 > 0:45:35because there is no way I'm going to let her have her say about "us".
0:45:35 > 0:45:38My wife having to listen to that.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40In what way did she allegedly stalk you that night?
0:45:42 > 0:45:44I'm not saying she was there that particular night.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47I'm just saying she had a habit of turning up and hassling me.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49- You sure about that?- Yes.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52- Witnesses?- Let me tell you about Lindsay Denton.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55She's too smart to let there be witnesses.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57She gets your phone records, DC Fleming.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01Superintendent Hastings, she gets his financial records.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03DS Arnott, she followed you, took compromising photos.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06Did you see her? Were there any witnesses?
0:46:07 > 0:46:12You want to watch her. She's manipulative and conniving.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14You can't trust a word she says.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24Can we be clear?
0:46:25 > 0:46:27You accept the phone record is accurate?
0:46:27 > 0:46:29As I've said.
0:46:30 > 0:46:34I'd be grateful, sir, if you'd refer to Document 8 in your folder.
0:46:36 > 0:46:40Document 8 is a transcript of part of a previous interview
0:46:40 > 0:46:43your client gave us under Regulation 15 Notice.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45A complaint was made regarding an SP30.
0:46:47 > 0:46:51A vehicle registered to Mrs Helen Dryden was flashed by a speed camera
0:46:51 > 0:46:55and a week later Traffic received notice that you were driving.
0:46:56 > 0:47:01From the transcript - "DCC DRYDEN: I was driving. Helen was home.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03"I drove back towards town to buy some beer and wine
0:47:03 > 0:47:07"from the off-licence. I changed my mind and went home."
0:47:07 > 0:47:10Said offence took place on the evening of the 16th of August.
0:47:10 > 0:47:14Your mobile phone record places you miles away from the speed camera,
0:47:14 > 0:47:16making a call to DI Lindsay Denton.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19You weren't driving that car.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21It says so...
0:47:21 > 0:47:22here.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37Virtually my whole marriage, I've worked long hours.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41It's taken a toll.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44HE SIGHS
0:47:45 > 0:47:49That night, Helen was at an AA meeting.
0:47:51 > 0:47:52She was worried it would get out
0:47:52 > 0:47:55if the speeding charge was taken further.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58She made out I was driving and posted the form.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00By the time she told me, it was too late.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02I hoped no-one would ever find out
0:48:02 > 0:48:04but some arsehole leaked it all over the papers.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11She was ashamed...
0:48:11 > 0:48:13she was attending those meetings.
0:48:16 > 0:48:19I'm the one that should be ashamed.
0:48:19 > 0:48:20We have information
0:48:20 > 0:48:23that your wife had confided her driving offence to friends.
0:48:24 > 0:48:28She had a clean licence, no chance of being banned.
0:48:28 > 0:48:32We don't think that was a good enough reason for her to lie.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35The only reason would be to provide you with an alibi,
0:48:35 > 0:48:38or for you to seize the opportunity to create one.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42I didn't fill in that form.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45If I happen to know it was my wife that did so,
0:48:45 > 0:48:47I have no intention of testifying against her.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49The lawyers'll have a field day.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52The real villain in all this is whatever toerag leaked that story,
0:48:52 > 0:48:54to bring me down because the politicians and the PCC
0:48:54 > 0:48:58don't like me telling the truth about service cutbacks.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Why are you talking about service cutbacks, sir?
0:49:01 > 0:49:04- I'm trying to get you to open your eyes, son.- They're open.
0:49:04 > 0:49:07If you weren't driving your wife's car, what were you doing that night?
0:49:07 > 0:49:10- I've answered your questions. We're done here.- We're not.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12- Where were you that night? - No comment.
0:49:12 > 0:49:13Document 10.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17Here's a map showing the mobile phone cell
0:49:17 > 0:49:19from which your call originated that evening.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21Please specify your location.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23- No comment.- You were out in the Edge Park area. Why?
0:49:23 > 0:49:24No comment.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26DS Manish Prasad and DC Jeremy Cole
0:49:26 > 0:49:29carried out the ambush on September 5th.
0:49:29 > 0:49:30Were you meeting with them?
0:49:30 > 0:49:32What is this? Are you insane?
0:49:32 > 0:49:35Look in your folder. Document 11.
0:49:35 > 0:49:38Evidence log from DCS Hargreaves' team,
0:49:38 > 0:49:41re the vehicle used by DS Jayne Akers during the ambush.
0:49:41 > 0:49:46Item 14 - mobile magnetic radio tracking device.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49There was a lump on Akers' vehicle that allowed the gunmen to track her.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51This evidence was withheld from AC-12.
0:49:51 > 0:49:55You knew about this but let us make a case against Lindsay Denton regardless.
0:49:55 > 0:49:57Why did you withhold the evidence?
0:49:57 > 0:50:00The investigations were separate at the time.
0:50:00 > 0:50:01It felt like the right way to go.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04I didn't keep track of every little piece of evidence myself.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07You were happy for your alleged stalker to be charged and remanded,
0:50:07 > 0:50:09to take the blame for something she didn't do. You set her up.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12She's the one out for revenge! She's the one out to get me!
0:50:12 > 0:50:14She's using you all and you've fallen for it!
0:50:14 > 0:50:16Where were you that night?
0:50:16 > 0:50:19Don't go down this road, son. It doesn't end well.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21You got the balls to charge me?
0:50:21 > 0:50:23Tick-tock.
0:50:23 > 0:50:27As you know, sir, you can be held in custody for a maximum of 36 hours,
0:50:27 > 0:50:30after which you'll either be charged or released.
0:50:30 > 0:50:34We thank you for your cooperation and we intend to continue. Document 13.
0:50:38 > 0:50:39Document 13.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46This is a transcript from a statement you gave to the press
0:50:46 > 0:50:50on August 9th. In it, you expressed disapproval for, in your words,
0:50:50 > 0:50:51"repugnant offenders"
0:50:51 > 0:50:54who should have their immunity from prosecution taken away.
0:50:54 > 0:50:58One such offender being John Thomas Hunter, aka Tommy Hunter,
0:50:58 > 0:51:00the protected witness.
0:51:00 > 0:51:04We have Hunter on tape, stating his intention to blackmail you.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07For the tape, I'm presenting the suspect with photographs
0:51:07 > 0:51:12entered in evidence, evidence number H86734-D.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27Do you recognise the male in this photograph?
0:51:31 > 0:51:33(It's...me.)
0:51:33 > 0:51:34Speak up for the tape.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36- It's me.- And the girl?
0:51:36 > 0:51:37Don't know.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42For the tape, I'm presenting the suspect with photographs entered
0:51:42 > 0:51:48in evidence, evidence numbers H86734 dash A to C, dash E to K.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02That's you and the female?
0:52:03 > 0:52:04Plainly.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09What's happening in these photographs?
0:52:14 > 0:52:15Who's the girl?
0:52:15 > 0:52:16I don't know.
0:52:16 > 0:52:19- You appear to know her well enough in these photos.- Appear to.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22This is Carly Kirk.
0:52:22 > 0:52:24She was seen working as part of the catering team
0:52:24 > 0:52:27at the reception at City Hall on the 16th of August.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Carly Kirk is 15 years old.
0:52:36 > 0:52:37I...
0:52:40 > 0:52:42No, um...
0:52:43 > 0:52:45She looked older.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47How old? 18?
0:52:53 > 0:52:57Carly Kirk was a vulnerable young girl groomed by DS Manish Prasad.
0:52:57 > 0:53:00You worked with Prasad in Vice.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02Here you are together.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05Did Prasad provide you with young women for sex?
0:53:05 > 0:53:07Absolutely not.
0:53:07 > 0:53:08Maybe not.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12But he knew what you liked.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20Did an offence take place between you and Carly Kirk,
0:53:20 > 0:53:24namely sexual activity with a child under the Sexual Offences Act 2003?
0:53:24 > 0:53:28It's not what it looks like. She never got started. I...
0:53:28 > 0:53:30I came to my senses.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32Well, why did you let it get that far?
0:53:32 > 0:53:33Why do you think?
0:53:33 > 0:53:36Well, I'm not an old perv, so you'll have to tell me.
0:53:38 > 0:53:41I was tempted. For a moment.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43And then I chucked her out of the car.
0:53:43 > 0:53:47We believe these photos were used by John Thomas Hunter to blackmail you.
0:53:47 > 0:53:50John Thomas Hunter was the target of the ambush.
0:53:50 > 0:53:51- Did you set up the ambush?- No!
0:53:51 > 0:53:54I never even knew about Hunter, I never knew about this blackmail!
0:53:54 > 0:53:56You turned the tables on Hunter, had him silenced.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59That is not something I would do. I'm not a criminal.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01Well, according to these photographs, you are.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04What does the girl say is happening in these photos?
0:54:07 > 0:54:08What?
0:54:10 > 0:54:11For the tape,
0:54:11 > 0:54:15I'm presenting the suspect with photographs H86734 dash L to P.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39The point is who she was last seen with before she disappeared.
0:54:39 > 0:54:41Now, wait...
0:54:41 > 0:54:43She was murdered. Do you know who murdered her?
0:54:43 > 0:54:45- No.- Did you murder her?- No!
0:54:45 > 0:54:47- She was strangled. Do you know who strangled her?- No.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49- Did you strangle her?- No. - Her teeth were ripped out.
0:54:49 > 0:54:51Her face and finger-pulps were burnt off
0:54:51 > 0:54:53using a high temperature blow-torch.
0:54:53 > 0:54:54- Do you know who did that to her?- No.
0:54:54 > 0:54:56- Did you do that to her?- No!
0:55:04 > 0:55:07While you've been in custody, there's been a search of your residence
0:55:07 > 0:55:12and vehicle under Section 18 (1) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15Our people were trying to find clothes that you were wearing
0:55:15 > 0:55:17- in these photographs. - Why didn't they find any?
0:55:19 > 0:55:22- I-I don't know.- Because you purposefully disposed of them
0:55:22 > 0:55:25to remove any trace of this girl's DNA and clothes fibres.
0:55:26 > 0:55:29I...I must've, um...
0:55:29 > 0:55:32I must've had a clear-out and given them to the charity shop.
0:55:32 > 0:55:35Same with your vehicle. A check round local businesses
0:55:35 > 0:55:38- reveals you had the car valeted the very next day.- Steam-cleaned.
0:55:39 > 0:55:42I didn't want my wife finding anything...
0:55:42 > 0:55:44smelling the girl's cheap perfume.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47So you admit taking measures to conceal evidence you were with her.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50- Because I got how incriminating it would be.- Funny, that.
0:55:52 > 0:55:56You were the last person to see Carly Kirk before she disappeared.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59The last person to see a girl
0:55:59 > 0:56:02who's later found buried under the industrial unit.
0:56:02 > 0:56:05- There's no evidence I did it. - Look at these photos!
0:56:05 > 0:56:08You had Tommy killed to silence him and you needed to kill Carly, too.
0:56:08 > 0:56:11You've got nothing connecting me to the body. Nothing.
0:56:11 > 0:56:12Your career is over, sir.
0:56:12 > 0:56:14Possibly your marriage, too. Why keep up the lies?
0:56:14 > 0:56:17- I'm not a criminal. I'm an honest man!- You instigated a conspiracy
0:56:17 > 0:56:20that led to the deaths of four police officers.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22The only conspiracy is against me!
0:56:24 > 0:56:27Hastings! I know you're out there. You're behind this.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29Did they bribe you?
0:56:29 > 0:56:33Get you out a mess you made for yourself?
0:56:33 > 0:56:36Hell, that's all going to come out!
0:56:36 > 0:56:38You're finished!
0:56:38 > 0:56:39YOU'RE FINISHED!
