0:00:02 > 0:00:04Before Danny died, he tried to say something.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Now I reckon what he said was "list".
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Got a firearm in here, no-one enter.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11This programme contains scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Investigating former Chief Superintendant Patrick Fairbank
0:00:14 > 0:00:16in respect of not adequately investigating
0:00:16 > 0:00:17complaints of child sexual exploitation.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The things they did to us at Sands View...
0:00:20 > 0:00:22It's OK.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Ma'am, I'm requesting authorisation on an undercover operation.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28It would be against a fellow AC-12 officer.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32DI Cottan set me up.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35As far as the rope goes, he must have planted it there beforehand.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38What happened with the postmortem? Weren't you supposed to organise it?
0:00:38 > 0:00:41He knew forensics hadn't bothered testing the envelope.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43I don't want to get caught between you and DI Cottan.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49The Caddy is male, under 35.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53A detective, a London or South East accent.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Sorry, gaffer, but the finger is pointing at one of our own.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I have a number of concerns regarding
0:01:01 > 0:01:03DS Arnott's professional conduct.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05He's been bearing a firearm around the office.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I have signed the firearm back in.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12I am innocent, the question is...are you?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14He's been accused of having an improper relationship
0:01:14 > 0:01:17with a suspect, of planting evidence against said suspect.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19I did not plant evidence!
0:01:19 > 0:01:21We agree the best course of action is for you to be
0:01:21 > 0:01:24suspended from duty until these matters can be addressed.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- SIM Card?- It's all in there.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37The incriminating item I've got on you, that's my only insurance.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- I need to know you've got my back.- God, yeah.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45He's hiding summat.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48That lead on Steve, it looks like it's going to pan out.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51He really did plant that money on Lindsay.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53There's no list here, Steve.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56If there's not, Lindsay is going to get what's coming.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01'I thought it was Steve's car, until I saw the registration.'
0:02:01 > 0:02:03I found Danny Waldron's list.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05It didn't make sense for Danny to make a hard copy
0:02:05 > 0:02:08of the original list that could be lost or destroyed.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10He would make an online copy.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13The VIPs who were abusing boys at Sands View.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18TYRES SCREECH AND HORN BLARES
0:02:18 > 0:02:22100 grand and you forget about all of this, that list included.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Why don't you just take the money?! - Because I'm a police officer!
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- Do not send that message. - Let's see what they will think...
0:02:36 > 0:02:37when I bring in The Caddy.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54How long is this going to take?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Patrick Fairbank,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04some new information has come to light that we'd like to put to you.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06PC Bindra.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Document 27 is a transcript of a professional tribunal
0:03:10 > 0:03:14which took place on the 19th of September 1998,
0:03:14 > 0:03:16in which Oliver Stephens-Lloyd recorded
0:03:16 > 0:03:19he had submitted a list of names of abusers at Sands View.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Oh, not this list again.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I don't know anything about any list.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Where is this new information?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I think we're done.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Actually, if you would just keep your seat, please.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45I think we are about to hear some new evidence, thank you.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53For the tape, DC Fleming has joined the interview.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Kate.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59For the tape, I am showing the interviewee a video capture,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02item KMF-4.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Who is shown in item KMF-4?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I refused to take part in any video identification.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11You did, which meant we were forced to use
0:04:11 > 0:04:13a video capture from your previous interview.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15And we are legally entitled to use this image
0:04:15 > 0:04:18because your client was notified that he was going to be
0:04:18 > 0:04:23questioned regarding an offence - misconduct in public office.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26In accordance with paragraph five, Code D
0:04:26 > 0:04:29of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, item KMF-4,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32alongside eight other video captures
0:04:32 > 0:04:34of unrelated, similar persons were shown
0:04:34 > 0:04:37by an officer independent of this inquiry to a witness
0:04:37 > 0:04:40who was a resident at Sands View Boys' Home in the 1990s.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44This witness identified KMF-4 as showing one of the men
0:04:44 > 0:04:46who sexually abused him.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54These politicians and celebrities, they couldn't have got away with
0:04:54 > 0:04:58this time and time again without the collusion of police officers.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I mean, I kept asking myself over and over again,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04how could they turn a blind eye,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08how could they allow these appalling things to happen to these children?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11And of course, the answer is as plain as day.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14They didn't turn a blind eye, they were in on it!
0:05:24 > 0:05:25I'm going to take this.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39This is a list of abusers.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Corroborating the names we've already heard from our witness.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Ronan Murphy, Linus Murphy...
0:05:51 > 0:05:55..Dale Roach, Tommy Hunter...
0:05:57 > 0:05:58..and Patrick Fairbank.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Patrick Fairbank, I am arresting you for aggravated indecent assault,
0:06:07 > 0:06:12in that this offence occurred before May the 1st 2004...
0:06:13 > 0:06:16..with a child or children...
0:06:16 > 0:06:18under the age of 13...
0:06:20 > 0:06:25..perverting the course of justice and misconduct in public office.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Sir.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Well done.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Well done, yourself.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Custody arranged at Polk Avenue.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05You think you got me?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08You haven't got a clue. I hope you like the outdoors
0:07:08 > 0:07:11because you are going to be directing traffic
0:07:11 > 0:07:14to the end of your sad little career.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Bitch.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03'This is Lindsay Denton. Please leave a message after the tone.'
0:08:03 > 0:08:04BEEP
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Shit!
0:08:21 > 0:08:25DS Arnott. Need to report the theft of my service vehicle. Taxi!
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Yeah, 5... 5 Kings Gate Apartments. Yeah.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40DS Arnott. I need the key to Lindsay Denton's room.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Mother of God.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53'This is Lindsay Denton. Please leave a message after the tone.'
0:09:53 > 0:09:55BEEP
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I know you nicked my pocketbook, and I don't know where you are...
0:09:58 > 0:09:59FLOORBOARD CREAKS
0:10:01 > 0:10:03PHONE DISCONNECTS
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Police!- Armed police!
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- I'm AC-12!- Don't move!- I'm AC-12!
0:10:08 > 0:10:12You! Keep your hands above your head. Down on your knees.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Just calm down, I'm police. - Stop talking and stay still!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17My ID's in my jacket, I'm AC-12.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Stop talking and stay still!
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Lose the phone.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Get everyone out. - All right, everyone out!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Got the wrong guy.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38All clear, sir!
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Dot?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Steven Arnott, I'm arresting you
0:10:50 > 0:10:53on suspicion of murdering Lindsay Denton.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54You do not have to say anything
0:10:54 > 0:10:57but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59something you later rely on in court.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Anything you do say may be used in evidence.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- What's going on?- You know. Keep your mouth shut till you get a lawyer.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I'm trying to do you a favour. Get him out.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38DI Cottan, DS Arnott. You all right to book him in for me?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Need to take his clothes for forensics
0:11:40 > 0:11:41before he goes in his cell.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Steven Arnott, I'm satisfied that your arrest is lawful.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I'm authorising your detention in this police station in order that we
0:11:48 > 0:11:51can secure and preserve evidence in this investigation, and to obtain
0:11:51 > 0:11:55evidence from you by questioning. I will also speak to an inspector
0:11:55 > 0:11:58to authorise you being held incommunicado at this time,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01delaying your right to have anyone told you're here,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03or to make any calls.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Do you understand?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12DS Arnott, can you account for your whereabouts between
0:12:12 > 0:12:160800 and 1200 hours on July 17th this year?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I was at home.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23This would be your home address - Flat 5, Kings Gate Apartments?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Yes.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Who were you with?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Between those hours I was alone.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35And your girlfriend, DS Samantha Railston, where was she?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Sam left early for work.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Around 0630.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I was alone in the flat but I made phone calls.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44They'll prove where I was.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Document 3 in your folders.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Document 3 is a photocopy of item reference ASJ-3,
0:12:52 > 0:13:00telecommunications record for mobile phone 07591152425,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02registered to Steven Arnott.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Three calls are shown.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Can you tell us what was happening with these calls?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I'd realised Lindsay had stolen my pocketbook.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I called her from my flat, but it went straight to her voicemail.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I went to her approved premises to try and track her down
0:13:19 > 0:13:22but she wasn't there, so I tried calling her again.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25And the call to the AC-12 switchboard?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- To report the theft of my service vehicle.- Thank you.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34When was the last time you saw Lindsay Denton alive?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39The night before. My flat.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Lindsay had a theory that Danny Waldron left
0:13:41 > 0:13:43a list of abusers in a graveyard.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46We were searching online burial records for a name that
0:13:46 > 0:13:49might have been a memorable association for Danny.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52She left my flat and I went to the graveyard alone.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Must have been while she was in my flat that she took my pocketbook.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58At this time, myself and DI Cottan were carrying out direct
0:13:58 > 0:14:00surveillance on Steve Arnott's flat,
0:14:00 > 0:14:02authorised by Superintendant Hastings,
0:14:02 > 0:14:05under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Noted.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09We saw you and Lindsay split up.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12And after you'd left, she looked like the cat who'd got the cream.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14She sent you off on a wild goose chase while she went
0:14:14 > 0:14:19- and cracked the case.- Cos, actually, Danny had hidden the list online.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- She found the list? - She did indeed.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26You gotta hand it to her, she got the job done.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28And she made a total mug of you.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Now, these phone calls we've been talking about,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34they're all around noon onwards.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37None of them corroborate you being in your flat before that time.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41The proprietor of the internet caff,
0:14:41 > 0:14:46now, she reckons she saw Denton leave around...11, 11.30.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48She didn't see where Denton went or who she met,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51and we've no information on her whereabouts
0:14:51 > 0:14:54until her body was discovered at 12.30.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56But you were at home all this time?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Yes, sir.- So what were you doing all this time?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- DS Arnott? - I slept.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07You had a kip? Seriously?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I'd been up most of the night.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12You didn't think of calling her straightaway?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14No, sir.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16She'd sent you to this graveyard on a fool's errand,
0:15:16 > 0:15:17stolen your pocketbook.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I'd have been after her like a shot.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23You, you're stuck to your sofa watching Homes Under The Hammer.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I got home late.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Sam, my girlfriend, and I - we had a row.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I had some wine and I fell asleep on the sofa. I overslept.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40As soon as I realised my pocketbook was gone, I took action.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Still, you were sorely pissed off with her, weren't you?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- DS Arnott is simply stating the facts.- Oh, right.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48So you weren't pissed off with her?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50In the early hours of the 17th,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54I followed Mr Arnott to the graveyard of St Barnabas Church.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56In which he stated,
0:15:56 > 0:15:57"If there's no list here
0:15:57 > 0:16:00"then Lindsay's going to get what's coming."
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Can you tell us what you meant by those words?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I was angry.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Angry with Kate. Angry with Lindsay.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11I didn't MEAN anything.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14But you do admit that you were angry with Lindsay?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Those words go way beyond angry.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I didn't kill Lindsay.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21At her trial, Lindsay testified that
0:16:21 > 0:16:24there was a sexual relationship between you.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28The relevant section for the transcript is document 46.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I don't need a transcript - she was lying.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Data retrieval from Lindsay's mobile
0:16:32 > 0:16:34resulted in detection of the following file -
0:16:34 > 0:16:38item reference MKJ-32.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42For the tape, I will now play MKJ-32.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46STEVE: 'Is that OK?'
0:16:46 > 0:16:47PANTING ON RECORDING
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- LINDSAY:- 'Yeah.'
0:16:49 > 0:16:52PANTING CONTINUES
0:16:54 > 0:16:56'You OK?'
0:16:57 > 0:16:59'Yeah.'
0:16:59 > 0:17:04PANTING CONTINUES
0:17:04 > 0:17:06RECORDING STOPS
0:17:06 > 0:17:09You recognise the voices on this audio file?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11DOT CLEARS THROAT
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Me and Lindsay.- And can you tell us where the recording was made?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18In her bedroom.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21And were you aware at the time that this recording was being made?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- No, sir, I was not.- As DS Arnott didn't give his permission,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28the recording was illegal.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Still...it's not a nice thing to do to someone, though.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Just another thing she did to put a few more winds on your clock, eh?
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Time and time again you denied any impropriety.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43What you can't know is that we're both almost fully clothed
0:17:43 > 0:17:45and the file's been abridged. If you'd had the opportunity
0:17:45 > 0:17:47to continue listening you'd have heard
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- that we stopped through mutual consent.- Stopped? What?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57There was some kissing. Some touching.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Lindsay became upset and I comforted her. Sir, I give you my word,
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Lindsay Denton and I did not have sex.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Your word.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Whatever your version is of that audio file,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12it sounds like you pair went way beyond the professional.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16And then she used it to discredit your case against her.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Now, I don't know many blokes who wouldn't be angry about that.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22And thanks to her accusations you are suspended, your career
0:18:22 > 0:18:24potentially in ruins.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Now, for the tape - on screen is image 5.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Image 5 is a crime scene photograph taken at 12.45 on July 17th,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37showing the body of Lindsay Denton.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Image 8.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- That's my car.- Image 8 is a crime scene photograph showing the vehicle
0:18:43 > 0:18:45in which Lindsay Denton's body was found.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49It's a dark grey Volvo S60.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50You agree it's your car?
0:18:53 > 0:18:57As I've said, sir, I reported my vehicle stolen.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Document 6 in your folders.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04Document 6 is a photocopy of item reference IKL-1.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07IKL-1 is the log for service vehicles.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12On July 1st you signed out service vehicle Foxtrot Juliet 1-4 Romeo
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Charlie Zulu, and it was never signed back in.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17You should've. The second you were suspended.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20It's a perk of the job. Didn't want to give up the motor.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23So, it's a matter of fact that this vehicle was in your possession
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- at the time of the murder.- The fact, sir, is someone stole the vehicle.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28And you reported it stolen when?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33In the call made to the AC-12 switchboard at 11.59.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Yeah, but Lindsay was last seen alive up to an hour earlier.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38At the internet caff. Now, that is plenty of time for you to get home
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- and report your car stolen.- I reported the theft as soon as I realised.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44The car must have been stolen earlier.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I see.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Document 7 is a copy of the pathologist's report following
0:19:53 > 0:19:55a postmortem examination of Lindsay Denton.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00The cause of death was a single gunshot wound to the head.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Image 6. Image 6 is a forensic photograph of item reference NJC-4.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Item NJC-4 is a bullet found lodged in the passenger-side trim
0:20:09 > 0:20:13of service vehicle Foxtrot Juliet 1-4 Romeo Charlie Zulu.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18NJC-4 has been identified as a 9x19mm Parabellum round.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Image 13.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Image 13 shows item reference SCS-9.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28SCS-9 is a service-issue firearm, Glock 17 pistol,
0:20:28 > 0:20:33serial number - November Mike 8-4-9-4-7-4-8.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36The Glock 17 was found a short distance from the vehicle
0:20:36 > 0:20:39containing the body of Lindsay Denton.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Document 11 in your folders - also on screen.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Document 11 is the firearms issue log from South Ferry armoury.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49You'll see a highlighted entry on the morning of July 13th,
0:20:49 > 0:20:55relating to said Glock 17, serial number November Mike 8-4-9-4-7-4-8.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Said firearm was never returned.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01No. I returned my firearm a few days before Lindsay was murdered.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Not according to these records. - No. No.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08I returned it. Ask them at the armoury, they'll confirm it.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10It's here in black and white, son.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13You always follow the regs when it comes to firearms?
0:21:15 > 0:21:19DS Arnott was seen bearing a firearm within this building that did not,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22in my view, meet satisfactory operational requirement.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26On July 13th I gave DS Arnott a verbal warning that he was
0:21:26 > 0:21:30in breach of Section 7 of the 1968 Firearms Act.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36What forensics do you have linking me to the crime scene?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Your car, your gun - I'd say that's plenty.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Were my fingerprints on the gun?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44There were no fingerprints found on the firearm at all.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- It appeared to have been wiped. - Right. So no prints.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Lindsay Denton was shot at close range.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54The vehicle interior shows a substantial blood spatter pattern.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Did you find blood particles on me?
0:21:56 > 0:22:00At the time of Steve Arnott's arrest, his clothing was seized for forensic examination.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03There were no traces of blood or gunshot residue detected.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Yeah, but anyone with half a brain, covered in blood
0:22:06 > 0:22:08and gunshot residue, would know to dispose of his clothing.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- So where's this clothing? - You tell us.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Why would I shoot Lindsay in my own car?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- I know the forensics would be totally incriminating.- Correct.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17- They are. - So I wouldn't have done it!
0:22:17 > 0:22:20You were at the end of your tether with Lindsay Denton.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22She betrayed you, manipulated you, deceived you and, finally,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25she discredited you. You weren't thinking straight!
0:22:25 > 0:22:28So I used my service-issue firearm that I left at the scene?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31And I used my registered service vehicle? I mean, that's just stupid!
0:22:31 > 0:22:33You panicked. You left your bullet and the casing
0:22:33 > 0:22:36and you didn't do a good enough job disposing of the gun.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Then you cobble together some story about your motor being nicked.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41In fact, the only thing you didn't make a hash of
0:22:41 > 0:22:42was the bloodstained clothing.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44That's not what happened.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53Image 22 shows item reference EDC-3, found in said service vehicle.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Can you tell us what item EDC-3 is?
0:22:56 > 0:22:57My pocketbook.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- And is that the one stolen by Lindsay?- Yes, sir.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03So you went after her to get it back...things got out of hand
0:23:03 > 0:23:06and in your panic you didn't even remember to take it.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08I didn't take it because I wasn't there!
0:23:08 > 0:23:12So you've said. Is there anyone - anyone - that we can talk to
0:23:12 > 0:23:15who will bear witness to the fact you were at home
0:23:15 > 0:23:17during the time of Lindsay Denton's murder?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I had my issues with Lindsay Denton, I can't deny that.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- But I wouldn't kill her. - So you've said.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34I didn't have that gun.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37So if I didn't return it, why didn't anyone try and recover it?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42DS Arnott's asked a very important question.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Yes, well, I admit there was a failure to do due diligence
0:23:48 > 0:23:50on the part of the officers at South Ferry armoury,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53but I've written to the Strategic Firearms Commander
0:23:53 > 0:23:55making my feelings on the matter abundantly clear
0:23:55 > 0:23:57and I can assure you, disciplinary action...
0:23:57 > 0:24:01No-one realised because I HAD returned the firearm!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Someone must have access to the booking-out forms and replaced
0:24:04 > 0:24:06the real one - the one showing I surrendered the gun -
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- with a forgery.- Yeah, but this same someone would had to have signed out
0:24:09 > 0:24:11the same gun that was used in the murder -
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- and where's the record of that? - It's the same thing,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16sir - stolen so no-one can track who's got the weapon.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18All right, let me get this straight.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21What you're saying is that some impostor acquired the firearm
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- and then tampered with the paperwork to cover his tracks.- Yes, sir.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Obviously the same person who stole my service vehicle that morning.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29So your defence is,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32"It wasn't me, it was just some random impostor"?
0:24:32 > 0:24:33No, not random.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36To know it's extremely difficult to steal a service-issue firearm
0:24:36 > 0:24:39but not actually all that difficult to fake the paperwork -
0:24:39 > 0:24:42that takes inside knowledge. This was done by a police officer.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44But apparently it's a piece of cake to steal a service-issue vehicle
0:24:44 > 0:24:48fitted with deadlocks and an immobiliser.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I have to say, this is all sounding a bit far-fetched, son.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02There's a parallel on this case, sir.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Ever since we started investigating Danny Waldron -
0:25:04 > 0:25:07first his shooting of Ronan Murphy, then Danny's murder -
0:25:07 > 0:25:10there have been holes that the evidence hasn't completely filled,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13one of which is the murder of PC Rod Kennedy.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Sir, this is a massive tangent.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17DS Arnott knows we have to charge or release and he's playing for time.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Sir, DI Cottan was too quick to close the investigation
0:25:20 > 0:25:23into Kennedy's murder, just like he was with his inquiry into The Caddy.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25He's doing the same thing here.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28He's cutting corners, not challenging evidence robustly,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30and I'm the one suffering for his negligence!
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Sir, DS Arnott's casting aspersions for one reason and one reason only -
0:25:34 > 0:25:35to discredit this case,
0:25:35 > 0:25:38to get AC-12 taken off the investigation against him.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41It's what these coppers do when you know you've got 'em bang to rights -
0:25:41 > 0:25:44exploit their knowledge of the system to try and tie us in knots.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Look, I'd be really grateful if we could just stick to the issue
0:25:48 > 0:25:51in hand here, which is the murder of Lindsay Denton.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Thank you, sir.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Now, with respect to service vehicle Foxtrot Juliet 1-4 Romeo
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Charlie Zulu, a forensic search was carried out at the crime scene.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07Image 43. Interior of service vehicle boot.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Image 45. Image 45 is item reference VCT-7.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Do you recognise VCT-7?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16My gym bag.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Image 46.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Image 46 shows the contents
0:26:20 > 0:26:25of VCT-7 - sports clothing and trainers.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Image 47 - - That was not in my bag!
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- What...?! What is going on here?! - DS Arnott, please.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Image 47...
0:26:35 > 0:26:37shows item reference VCT-9.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42VCT-9 is an unregistered pay-as-you-go mobile phone.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- Your phone, DS Arnott? - No, sir!
0:26:44 > 0:26:46No, sir, someone put that there.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51VCT-9 is a phone of the type reportedly associated with
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- covert criminal communications. - That is not my phone.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56What the hell is it doing in your gym bag?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59DS Arnott denies any knowledge of the phone, there's clearly some
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- irregularity with the search.- My department carries out its searches
0:27:02 > 0:27:04to the letter of the law, fella!
0:27:04 > 0:27:07The letter!
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Document 19 in your folders.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11For the tape,
0:27:11 > 0:27:15this is a partial transcript of Lindsay Denton's retrial.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18At Lindsay Denton's first trial she was convicted of conspiracy
0:27:18 > 0:27:21to murder, and the prosecution hung on crucial evidence
0:27:21 > 0:27:24found at her home address, namely 50 grand in cash that was linked
0:27:24 > 0:27:29via financial forensics to other bribes employed in the conspiracy.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31I didn't plant that money.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Image 49.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Image 49 shows item reference VCT-11.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Now, VCT-11 is a £5 note.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Is that your £5 note?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46I don't remember having any money in the bag.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Not your phone, now it's not your money either.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52I'm saying I don't recall if I was carrying any money in the bag.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53Fair enough.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55That was in the inside pocket.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59It's only a fiver. It's easy to forget.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02We ran forensics on that £5 note.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Document 20 in your folders.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07DC Fleming.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10For the tape, I'm referring to document 20.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Document 20 is a photocopy of an original report
0:28:13 > 0:28:15made by the financial forensics unit.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20Report Sierra Alpha/56-57/1-5.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22The summary reads -
0:28:22 > 0:28:26"Pollen particles detected on banknote VCT-11 show a close match
0:28:26 > 0:28:31"to pollen particles detected on banknotes AJK-72."
0:28:31 > 0:28:35AJK-72 is the item reference for the £50,000
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- found at Lindsay Denton's home. - There is no way!
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Look, just...
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- That is not my money!- A second ago you couldn't even remember.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44There is no way that I'd have money that was from the same source
0:28:44 > 0:28:45as Lindsay Denton's bribe!
0:28:45 > 0:28:48But Lindsay Denton knew you planted that evidence,
0:28:48 > 0:28:49and she was your most vociferous accuser.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52- So maybe she was onto this evidence, too.- She wasn't onto any evidence!
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- She couldn't have known about this! - Oh, right, so you hid it from her?
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- I didn't mean it like that.- That money would be very hard to come by.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02But together with the phone this indicates a clear
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- pattern of corrupt conduct. - I am not bent!
0:29:11 > 0:29:14This is obviously a very...
0:29:14 > 0:29:15difficult experience, Steve.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Would you like some time alone with your solicitor?
0:29:19 > 0:29:21No.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Very well, but can we all just calm down here
0:29:24 > 0:29:26and not let our emotions get the better of us?
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Sir.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29So, moving on.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33In respect of another murder, that of Sergeant Daniel Waldron,
0:29:33 > 0:29:38- have you any comment to make? - Waldron was murdered by Hari Bains.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Bains confessed and intends to plead guilty.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Yeah, well, Bains owed gambling debts to the wrong people.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- And we believe they contracted him to kill Waldron.- Indeed.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Significantly, Bains received a call the night of the 31st of May
0:29:51 > 0:29:55from a phone of the type found in your car.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Night before he shot and killed Danny Waldron.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01According to Bains, in a statement made on June 30th,
0:30:01 > 0:30:05the caller had a London/South East accent.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- So?- So, was that you? - London and South East
0:30:12 > 0:30:14have such small populations, it could only have been me(!)
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Kindly just answer the question, please, DS Arnott.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Bains and I met loads of times. He would have known my voice and been
0:30:20 > 0:30:23able to identify, the call was clearly made by another person unknown.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Yes, and you're familiar with the putative corrupt police officer
0:30:26 > 0:30:29codename The Caddy?
0:30:39 > 0:30:40I am.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- DI Cottan. - Sir.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49Assimilation of all credible witness testimony, based on direct contact
0:30:49 > 0:30:53with said individual, leads to the following profile.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54The Caddy is male.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57The Caddy is almost certainly from a working-class background
0:30:57 > 0:30:59and grew up in an urban environment.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Is probably under 35.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04He is almost certainly a detective.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08He's trained in covert operations such as counterterrorism.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11And all earwitnesses report The Caddy as having a London
0:31:11 > 0:31:14or South East accent.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15This is insane.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- God help me, son, I wish it was. - Sir!
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- That's your evidence? A profile? - We've more than just a profile.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Only The Caddy would have had access to the same source of bribe money
0:31:25 > 0:31:27found at Lindsay Denton's house.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31The same supply we found some of in your service vehicle boot.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35SOLICITOR WHISPERS
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Would you like some more time, DS Arnott?
0:31:50 > 0:31:51No.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54DI Cottan originally volunteered to investigate The Caddy
0:31:54 > 0:31:57and closed the case prematurely, based on flimsy evidence
0:31:57 > 0:31:59provided by an old colleague.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Yes, but we're not here to discuss DI Cottan.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Sir, he's just looking at some angles to try and discredit this...
0:32:04 > 0:32:07I intend to be heard, sir. On the record.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Very well. That's your right.
0:32:15 > 0:32:20DI Cottan, you carried out the original inquiry into The Caddy.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- I did.- That wrongly identified DC Jeremy Cole.- Yes.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Based purely on the testimony of your former colleague,
0:32:25 > 0:32:29- DC Nigel Morton.- Yeah, but Morton has since revised his statement.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32DI Cottan and DC Fleming are reopening that particular inquiry.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40You also failed to order a second postmortem on the body
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- of Rod Kennedy.- My e-mail bounced back, as well you know.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Sir, he's clutching at straws here.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46In respect of the original inquiry into the murder
0:32:46 > 0:32:49of Sergeant Danny Waldron, you led a search of Waldron's flat.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- I did.- And as part of that search you found an envelope
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- addressed to me.- Yes.- And the forensics that you failed to

0:32:57 > 0:33:00and blood, suggesting it contained a note written by Danny Waldron
0:33:00 > 0:33:02and PRESUMABLY intended for me.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05No note was ever found. Danny Waldron saved his list online.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Which we only discovered weeks later cos you failed to pursue this lead!
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- I did not. - The note had been in that envelope!
0:33:11 > 0:33:13That's not what was in the envelope!
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Item reference MRC-1.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27Item reference MRC-1 is the envelope recovered from Danny Waldron's flat.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32And for the tape, Mr Arnott is quite correct - it does bear his name.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Item reference MRC-2 is the contents of the envelope.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38This item was entered into evidence separately,
0:33:38 > 0:33:40for reasons of internal security.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43You will see in your folders document appendix 1 refers to
0:33:43 > 0:33:45sequestered evidence.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Sequestration of evidence authorised by Gill Bigelow,
0:33:47 > 0:33:51leading legal council to Anti-Corruption Unit 12.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59This is what was in the envelope.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Now, for the tape, I'm showing Mr Arnott the sequestered evidence -
0:34:07 > 0:34:09a white golf tee.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Steve Arnott.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Golf tee.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28I think Danny Waldron was trying to tell us something.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Have you got anything further to add, DS Arnott?
0:34:40 > 0:34:43For the tape, the interviewee is shaking his head.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46Steven Arnott,
0:34:46 > 0:34:50you will remain under arrest for the murder of Lindsay Denton.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53I will now seek guidance from the Crown Prosecutor as to how
0:34:53 > 0:34:54to charge you for said offence.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57You will be taken to a place of custody.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00If you're not charged within 24 hours of the original arrest
0:35:00 > 0:35:03you will be released, however I...
0:35:03 > 0:35:06will seek the authority for a 12-hour extension.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Is all this understood?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10SOFTLY: Yes, sir.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Interview discontinued.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49God help me if I ever get a good night's sleep again.

0:35:59 > 0:36:00You OK?
0:36:03 > 0:36:05That can't have been easy.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Well done.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30SIRENS IN DISTANCE
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Sorry.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42Just when exactly did you get the idea of sequestering evidence from me?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Hm? In 35 years, this has been my worst day in the service,
0:36:45 > 0:36:48and now this little incident just about caps the whole lot!
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Was it your idea to go behind my back or was it yours?
0:36:52 > 0:36:56To be fair to DI Cottan, he sought me out for guidance.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00It was my decision to sequester the evidence from Danny Waldron's flat
0:37:00 > 0:37:03because of its sensitive nature in regard to a fellow officer.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07It seemed a bizarre and possibly meaningless find, sir,
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- but I just had a feeling... - "Feeling"?
0:37:10 > 0:37:13..that it might alert Steve. And if it had of done
0:37:13 > 0:37:15then we wouldn't have had all this other evidence.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19Oh, yeah, you're on very thin ice with me, DI Cottan.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Are there any other surprises in store?
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- I hope not, sir. - I hope not, too.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27Dismissed!

0:37:37 > 0:37:41At the time, neither DI Cottan nor I knew if the golf tee was relevant.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- Clearly, recent events have created a more significant context.- Clearly!
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I can see you're angry, Ted, but the fact that you personally recruited
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Steve Arnott did weigh on my decision.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- What, you decided I was going to be biased?- I'm sorry, but at the time
0:37:54 > 0:37:56it felt like the right decision. Now, can we just calm down?
0:37:56 > 0:37:59I am calm! I'm totally bloody calm!
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Look, I know this is abysmal timing
0:38:05 > 0:38:08but former Chief Superintendant Patrick Fairbank's legal team
0:38:08 > 0:38:11are applying for the child sex abuse charges to be dropped.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13What?
0:38:13 > 0:38:16They're saying that he repeatedly stated in his interviews that,
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- "I'm not as sharp as I used to be." - Yeah, I know he said that.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22They're saying that an independent physician should have examined
0:38:22 > 0:38:26his intellectual fitness for interview.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32They're having his GP attest he's got senile dementia.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34He isn't fit to stand trial.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Mother of God.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41DS Arnott has to be charged or released today.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Don't delay your call to the Crown Prosecutor.

0:43:22 > 0:43:28His gun. The car. The money. The threat.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30Motive, opportunity, means.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33During the interview with Steven Arnott I indentified
0:43:33 > 0:43:36a number of issues that merit further examination.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39Of course you want to believe that Steve's innocent. Of course you do.
0:43:39 > 0:43:43But you're jumping to rash and extremely damaging conclusions.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46DC Fleming, please.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48Miss Bigelow, you do not have to say anything
0:43:48 > 0:43:50- but it may harm your defence if you do not...- Excuse me.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54Gill, please, this is necessary.
0:43:54 > 0:43:56You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence
0:43:56 > 0:43:58if you do not mention, when questioned,
0:43:58 > 0:44:00something you later rely on in court.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03Anything you do say may be used in evidence.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05It's been a long day and night, let's get a grip, Ted.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08Did you furnish Superintendant Hastings with an intelligence file
0:44:08 > 0:44:10relating to Ronan Murphy,
0:44:10 > 0:44:14the suspect shot dead by Sergeant Danny Waldron on the 13th of May?
0:44:15 > 0:44:18- I did.- And from who did you obtain that file?
0:44:18 > 0:44:20"Whom."
0:44:20 > 0:44:22It was supplied to me in confidence
0:44:22 > 0:44:25and to reveal the source would be a betrayal of that confidence.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Gill, you're under caution.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32It would help us enormously if you could provide an answer.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41Very well. Show her.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46This is a signed authority from Superintendant Summers at AC-3
0:44:46 > 0:44:49for me to conduct an undercover operation against AC-12 officers.
0:44:49 > 0:44:53- I see what it is. When did this happen?- I only found about this this evening.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56Under said authority, I obtained evidence that this file
0:44:56 > 0:45:00originated from DS Nicola Rogerson at Major Violent Crime.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03In a written statement, DS Rogerson claims that the file was
0:45:03 > 0:45:08- "requested" by an AC-12 officer. - Did an AC-12 officer furnish you
0:45:08 > 0:45:11with this file on condition of anonymity?
0:45:12 > 0:45:14Yes.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18DS Rogerson's copy of the file did not contain the omissions
0:45:18 > 0:45:21made to the one you received.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23I was given that file in good faith
0:45:23 > 0:45:25and I completely deny tampering with it.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27No-one's suggesting you did.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30What we're exploring here is that the alterations
0:45:30 > 0:45:34were made by said AC-12 officer.
0:45:34 > 0:45:40Now, can you confirm the name we've heard from Rogerson?
0:45:44 > 0:45:46Fine.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51Detective Inspector Matthew Cottan.
0:45:53 > 0:45:57He brought you the golf tee...
0:45:57 > 0:46:00so we assumed that he would have brought you file, good.
0:46:00 > 0:46:05DC Fleming, would you kindly excuse us for a moment, please?
0:46:08 > 0:46:10Thank you, Kate.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21You're barking up the wrong tree.
0:46:21 > 0:46:26Matthew Cottan has done a first-rate job of rooting out a bad apple.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29- Gill...- As for the file, he knew we were being obstructed,
0:46:29 > 0:46:32so he obtained it through unofficial channels.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34Why didn't he just give it to me?
0:46:34 > 0:46:36Because he was afraid you'd give him
0:46:36 > 0:46:39- a dressing-down for acting improperly.- Gill...
0:46:39 > 0:46:42even after the time we spent together,
0:46:42 > 0:46:45you really don't know me at all.

0:47:07 > 0:47:09Different reg.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12Correct. Here are more traffic camera images,
0:47:12 > 0:47:15this same vehicle captured travelling through the city centre

0:47:23 > 0:47:25Now, here's a street map.

0:47:28 > 0:47:32corresponding to the exact times of the traffic camera images.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34I'm now going to add the location of the internet cafe where
0:47:34 > 0:47:37Lindsay Denton was last seen alive that morning.
0:47:39 > 0:47:43Someone was driving the vehicle to Lindsay's location that morning.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46Yeah. And previous to the internet cafe, Lindsay Denton was last seen
0:47:46 > 0:47:49at her approved premises the night before.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52I'm now going to add the location of the approved premises.
0:47:52 > 0:47:56There's an hour's delay in the timeline of the vehicle's movements,
0:47:56 > 0:47:59suggesting it hung around the approved premises during this time.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03So...Lindsay was followed to the internet cafe.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07- Looks like it, sir. - And correct me if I'm wrong,
0:48:07 > 0:48:10but this is the same time that Steve said that he was home alone?
0:48:10 > 0:48:12Yeah, that's correct, sir.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15Steve doesn't have an alibi so it could be him driving that vehicle.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18- Hmm. - One final thing.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21I've indentified this registration
0:48:21 > 0:48:24as belonging to another make and model entirely.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26They're fake plates.
0:48:26 > 0:48:30Well done. Well done. I think you'd better get that wee one home,
0:48:30 > 0:48:32and thanks very much for coming in.
0:48:42 > 0:48:46Why would Steve be driving his own car with fake plates?
0:48:46 > 0:48:48To hide his movements?
0:48:48 > 0:48:51It doesn't make sense, sir, she wouldn't have got in the car.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53If Steve turned up with fake plates she'd have known
0:48:53 > 0:48:55he was up to something. She would never get in.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57Or maybe she just didn't see it.
0:48:57 > 0:49:01- We all know Lindsay, sir, she never missed a thing.- Hm.
0:49:01 > 0:49:05- Sorry, Kate, you couldn't give us a hand with the lift?- Yeah, sure.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15Off the record,
0:49:15 > 0:49:18DI Cottan put pressure on me not to tell Steve about the additional

0:52:28 > 0:52:30he might remember them.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33What are you saying?
0:52:33 > 0:52:36You see, I finally understand why you were appointed by the PCC.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38I'm the loose cannon here.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40If I see a bent copper I'll go after him
0:52:40 > 0:52:43irrespective of rank or political expediency.
0:52:43 > 0:52:46I'm not going to apologise for having one eye on PR.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49Anti-corruption is a double-edged sword.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52We need to find just enough bent coppers to avoid accusations of
0:52:52 > 0:52:54a cover-up but no so many that the public starts to wonder
0:52:54 > 0:52:56if the police can be trusted.
0:52:56 > 0:52:59So we let Patrick Fairbank just slip through the net?
0:52:59 > 0:53:01Because of all the peers and the politicians
0:53:01 > 0:53:04and the police officers he might implicate?
0:53:04 > 0:53:07Meanwhile, we go back to chasing disc jockeys and game show hosts?
0:53:07 > 0:53:10- I'm just doing my job. - And I'm doing mine.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12And it's called nicking bent coppers and I don't care
0:53:12 > 0:53:15whether it's one rotten apple or the whole bloody barrel.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18There's a line and it's called right and wrong.

0:53:20 > 0:53:22my duty lies.
0:53:22 > 0:53:26So why don't you write a nice letter of resignation to the PCC
0:53:26 > 0:53:28or I swear to God...
0:53:28 > 0:53:31I will drag you down with the rest of them.

0:54:14 > 0:54:17I'm not sure I understand what you're driving at, sir.
0:54:17 > 0:54:19Well, there were half a dozen of you on that search,
0:54:19 > 0:54:21how come no-one else saw it?
0:54:21 > 0:54:24Did you swear them all to secrecy or what?
0:54:24 > 0:54:25Oh, I see, sir.
0:54:25 > 0:54:29No, what happened was - we detected an illegal firearm.
0:54:29 > 0:54:33I sent an officer to bring someone with firearms training urgently,
0:54:33 > 0:54:35so as to secure the firearm.
0:54:35 > 0:54:38I had the legitimate concern it wasn't safe or it was booby-trapped
0:54:38 > 0:54:43- and it was then I saw the golf tee in the envelope.- So...
0:54:43 > 0:54:46with no-one else watching you...
0:54:46 > 0:54:49- you seized this piece of evidence? - Yes, sir.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55Did you order forensics on the golf tee?
0:54:55 > 0:54:57I did but there were no noticeable findings.
0:54:57 > 0:55:01- Did you order forensics on the inside of the envelope?- Yes, sir.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04- When?- Well, this was something we omitted in the first instance
0:55:04 > 0:55:08but rectified as the inquiry progressed.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10Did you put pressure on a junior rank not to disclose
0:55:10 > 0:55:12the forensics to DS Arnott?
0:55:13 > 0:55:15- Yes. - Why?
0:55:15 > 0:55:17Steve Arnott was concocting accusations
0:55:17 > 0:55:19I wasn't doing my job properly.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22- I didn't want to give him any ammunition.- So...
0:55:22 > 0:55:26you actually missed a crucial piece of evidence.
0:55:26 > 0:55:27Well...
0:55:29 > 0:55:33Forensics detected ink and blood on the inside of that envelope.
0:55:33 > 0:55:35That suggests there was a bloodstained note
0:55:35 > 0:55:38- inside the envelope. - There wasn't though.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41- No ink or blood on the golf tee. - So, what?
0:55:41 > 0:55:44Danny Waldron must have put it in there after he removed the note?
0:55:44 > 0:55:46Look, this note,
0:55:46 > 0:55:49some people have been making a mountain out of a molehill.
0:55:49 > 0:55:52If it was such an issue, why didn't I just pocket the envelope
0:55:52 > 0:55:54and no-one would be any the wiser?
0:55:54 > 0:55:57Which I didn't do, by the way.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00Maybe the envelope had already been seen by somebody else
0:56:00 > 0:56:02on the search team, but the contents hadn't.
0:56:04 > 0:56:08I found a golf tee. I remained in the vicinity of the firearm
0:56:08 > 0:56:10until an officer arrived to make it safe.
0:56:10 > 0:56:13Now, if that note went walkabout, it's because Danny Waldron moved it
0:56:13 > 0:56:16before we got there. In the end, missing the forensics
0:56:16 > 0:56:19made no difference to the inquiry whatsoever.
0:56:19 > 0:56:22That's one of the things we're here to determine, DI Cottan
0:56:22 > 0:56:24and I'll be the judge of that, thank you.
0:56:24 > 0:56:27DC Fleming, moving on.
0:56:31 > 0:56:37Item reference EGH-1. EGH-1 is an intelligence file on Ronan Murphy,
0:56:37 > 0:56:40the suspect shot dead by Danny Waldron.
0:56:40 > 0:56:43It's where this whole inquiry started, and it omitted information
0:56:43 > 0:56:45that would have allowed us to connect Ronan Murphy to known
0:56:45 > 0:56:48high-ranking criminal Tommy Hunter,
0:56:48 > 0:56:50and the cover-up of historic child sexual abuse.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55- DI Cottan, have you seen this file before?- Yes, sir.
0:56:55 > 0:56:58And who provided you with access to this file?
0:56:58 > 0:57:01You did, sir.
0:57:01 > 0:57:05You see, my particular concern here, DI Cottan...
0:57:05 > 0:57:10is if you were familiar with this file before I gave you access?
0:57:15 > 0:57:17Do you have an answer, DI Cottan?
0:57:18 > 0:57:21Yes, I was familiar with the file.
0:57:21 > 0:57:22Yes.
0:57:22 > 0:57:24And how were you familiar with it?
0:57:24 > 0:57:28I acquired the file from a former Major Violent Crime officer
0:57:28 > 0:57:30involved in the investigation into the murder of Tommy Hunter -
0:57:30 > 0:57:33DS Rogerson.
0:57:33 > 0:57:36- I then passed it over to Gill Bigelow.- Yeah, not to me.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39Not to DS Arnott, not to DC Fleming.
0:57:39 > 0:57:42Well, I wanted to avoid Steven Arnott. I think we all know why.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45That file had crucial pieces of information removed that held
0:57:45 > 0:57:48- this inquiry back for weeks.- Yeah, well, I'm sorry about that, sir,
0:57:48 > 0:57:50but I took that file at face value, in good faith.
0:57:50 > 0:57:53And when we found out about the missing information
0:57:53 > 0:57:54why didn't you say something?
0:57:54 > 0:57:57- You should have been shouting that from the rafters, man!- No, sir. No.
0:57:57 > 0:57:59I didn't have the evidence yet
0:57:59 > 0:58:01and I didn't want to alert them beforehand.
0:58:01 > 0:58:03Alert who?
0:58:03 > 0:58:05Don't you see, sir?
0:58:05 > 0:58:08DS Rogerson is a former girlfriend of DS Arnott.
0:58:12 > 0:58:16I'm sorry, sir. Weren't you aware of the relationship between Rogerson
0:58:16 > 0:58:18and Arnott?
0:58:18 > 0:58:21No. I wasn't.
0:58:21 > 0:58:24You should have told him, DC Fleming.
0:58:24 > 0:58:26Spare the gaffer his blushes.
0:58:26 > 0:58:29Well, the only person known to have handled that file
0:58:29 > 0:58:32apart from DS Rogerson is you, not DS Arnott.
0:58:32 > 0:58:35Well, the pair of them must have hatched a plot to alter the file.
0:58:35 > 0:58:38DS Rogerson denies altering the file.
0:58:38 > 0:58:40Well, she would, wouldn't she? Look, sounds to me
0:58:40 > 0:58:42like this is another one to throw at Steven Arnott.
0:58:42 > 0:58:45I'm still exorcised by the fact you didn't mention
0:58:45 > 0:58:48- any of this sooner.- I don't cast aspersions on fellow officers.
0:58:48 > 0:58:50Unless I can back it up with hard evidence.
0:58:50 > 0:58:52Unlike some I can mention.
0:58:58 > 0:59:00DC Fleming.
0:59:03 > 0:59:05On screen, you'll see evidence gathered in the case against
0:59:05 > 0:59:07Harinderpal Bains.
0:59:07 > 0:59:12Images 291 and 292 showing item reference MR-3 and MR-4.
0:59:12 > 0:59:16MR-3 and MR-4 are unregistered mobile phones
0:59:16 > 0:59:18recovered from Hari Bains' home.
0:59:18 > 0:59:21So, what is this?
0:59:21 > 0:59:23One of our own's about to be charged with murder, I think
0:59:23 > 0:59:26we're entitled to ask a few questions, don't you?
0:59:26 > 0:59:29Yeah, no, no, of course. Whatever I can do to help.
0:59:29 > 0:59:32These phones were provided to Bains and he used them
0:59:32 > 0:59:34to communicate with The Caddy. A similar type of phone
0:59:34 > 0:59:38- was recovered from the boot of DS Arnott's car.- Yeah, well,
0:59:38 > 0:59:40these are matters of fact in the case against Steven Arnott.
0:59:40 > 0:59:43Yeah, well, I'm just making sure we all understand the facts
0:59:43 > 0:59:44as they stand.
0:59:44 > 0:59:47We'll return to the phone shortly.
0:59:47 > 0:59:51Now, in last night's interview of DS Arnott you stated that you'd attempted
0:59:51 > 0:59:54to order a second postmortem on the body of PC Rod Kennedy.
0:59:54 > 0:59:57A search of e-mail records found no e-mail from you
0:59:57 > 1:00:01to the pathologist office requesting said postmortem.
1:00:03 > 1:00:04DI Cottan?
1:00:04 > 1:00:06HE CHUCKLES
1:00:07 > 1:00:09Uh? Seriously?
1:00:10 > 1:00:13You know what the IT system is like in this building.
1:00:13 > 1:00:14Just because it is not on the server,
1:00:14 > 1:00:16that does not mean I didn't send it.
1:00:16 > 1:00:20As a matter of fact, DI Cottan, what I'm seeing here is a pattern.
1:00:21 > 1:00:24A pattern of failure to discharge your responsibilities
1:00:24 > 1:00:26as a senior detective.
1:00:26 > 1:00:28You should have been chasing up that postmortem!
1:00:28 > 1:00:30No, you are absolutely right, sir.
1:00:30 > 1:00:34And what's worse is Kate had made a specific point of asking me and all.
1:00:34 > 1:00:36I was beside myself when I realised
1:00:36 > 1:00:38and I apologise unreservedly for my error.
1:00:41 > 1:00:43But you see, DI Cottan...
1:00:43 > 1:00:46it raises the distinct possibility that you were somehow reluctant
1:00:46 > 1:00:51to seek confirmation that Kennedy WASN'T a suicide.
1:00:51 > 1:00:53That he was in fact murdered.
1:00:53 > 1:00:55I was very pleased with that information, sir,
1:00:55 > 1:00:58as it was instrumental in our arrest of Bains.
1:00:58 > 1:01:00For which I won a commendation.
1:01:01 > 1:01:04Let's just stay with Hari Bains for a second.
1:01:04 > 1:01:07He levelled some very disturbing allegations against you,
1:01:07 > 1:01:09DI Cottan, wouldn't you agree?
1:01:09 > 1:01:13Which I strenuously deny. And for which there is zero evidence.
1:01:15 > 1:01:17Yeah, well...
1:01:17 > 1:01:20- we carried out a search of your service vehicle.- What?
1:01:22 > 1:01:25Now, I am doing very well to avoid blowing my top here.
1:01:25 > 1:01:28This is out of order.
1:01:28 > 1:01:30And as you well know, completely illegal
1:01:30 > 1:01:32under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984,
1:01:32 > 1:01:35as DI Cottan is neither under arrest nor charged with an offence.
1:01:35 > 1:01:37Yes, well, said illegality would only apply
1:01:37 > 1:01:39if it was DI Cottan's personal vehicle.
1:01:39 > 1:01:41His service vehicle is owned by the police
1:01:41 > 1:01:44and as such we are entitled to search it
1:01:44 > 1:01:46without any form of authority.
1:01:46 > 1:01:47Still, in my view,
1:01:47 > 1:01:49we have reached the point where either you stop
1:01:49 > 1:01:51or you caution my client.
1:02:00 > 1:02:02DI Cottan, stay right there.
1:02:05 > 1:02:08You do not have to say anything, however,
1:02:08 > 1:02:11it may harm your defence if you fail to mention something,
1:02:11 > 1:02:14under questioning, that you later go on to rely on in court.
1:02:14 > 1:02:20Of course, anything you do say may be used in evidence. Thank you.
1:02:26 > 1:02:29Now, what the hell are you doing searching my car?
1:02:29 > 1:02:32This is a signed authority from Superintendent Summers of AC-3
1:02:32 > 1:02:39to investigate AC-12 officers, based on concerns raised by DC Fleming.
1:02:42 > 1:02:44OK.
1:02:44 > 1:02:47Just doing our job here, there is nothing personal.
1:02:51 > 1:02:54OK, it was obviously investigating Steven Arnott.
1:02:54 > 1:02:55Not me.
1:02:55 > 1:02:58The signed authority from Superintendent Summers
1:02:58 > 1:03:00is a bit like Grandma's nightgown.
1:03:00 > 1:03:03It covers everything.
1:03:03 > 1:03:06DC Fleming, the search of DI Cottan's service vehicle,
1:03:06 > 1:03:07if you please.
1:03:07 > 1:03:09Sir.
1:03:09 > 1:03:13Service vehicle November Juliet Zero Seven Zulu Foxtrot Whisky
1:03:13 > 1:03:16was examined forensically, with one notable finding.
1:03:16 > 1:03:19Item GBS-8 is a number of synthetic fibres.
1:03:19 > 1:03:24Comparison of fibres from GBS-8 and NTW-7 finds multiple
1:03:24 > 1:03:28chemical correlations that imply a very strong likelihood
1:03:28 > 1:03:31the materials derive from the same original source.
1:03:31 > 1:03:35The same original source.
1:03:36 > 1:03:38NTW-7 is the item reference assigned to the rope
1:03:38 > 1:03:43found at the industrial unit where Hari Bains was arrested.
1:03:43 > 1:03:45The noose had been in your boot.
1:03:46 > 1:03:51The noose that you claimed Hari Bains was going to hang you with.
1:03:53 > 1:03:57What the forensics are suggesting is that you planted it there
1:03:57 > 1:03:58in that industrial unit
1:03:58 > 1:04:01to falsely incriminate Bains for Kennedy's murder!
1:04:10 > 1:04:12Bains had handled the rope when he prepared the noose.
1:04:12 > 1:04:15Bains and I had a scuffle in which he attempted to overpower me.
1:04:15 > 1:04:17Fibres transferred onto me.
1:04:17 > 1:04:20Those fibres were then transferred into my service vehicle
1:04:20 > 1:04:22the next morning when I clocked on.
1:04:22 > 1:04:25They were in the boot - nowhere else.
1:04:25 > 1:04:28The first thing I do before I get in the motor is sling my coat
1:04:28 > 1:04:30and briefcase in the boot.
1:04:30 > 1:04:33Now, if those fibres were going to end up anywhere,
1:04:33 > 1:04:35that is exactly where they would be found.
1:04:37 > 1:04:40Are you covering...
1:04:40 > 1:04:43for the real murderer of Rod Kennedy?
1:04:43 > 1:04:44No, I'm not.
1:04:46 > 1:04:50- Were you involved in murdering Rod Kennedy?- No, I wasn't.
1:04:55 > 1:04:57SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
1:04:59 > 1:05:02- Returning to the mobile phones... - Happy to.
1:05:05 > 1:05:06On screen, image 104.
1:05:06 > 1:05:09Image 104 shows item reference KMF-13,
1:05:09 > 1:05:11an unregistered mobile phone,
1:05:11 > 1:05:15and item reference KMF-14 is a subscriber identification module.
1:05:17 > 1:05:19Do you recognise these items?
1:05:21 > 1:05:22No.
1:05:22 > 1:05:25- No? - CHUCKLING:- I'll give you "no".
1:05:25 > 1:05:28These items were submitted to us in evidence by a witness
1:05:28 > 1:05:31who alleges that they do or did belong to you.
1:05:31 > 1:05:33Well, then, the witness is mistaken.
1:05:33 > 1:05:37Analysis of said subscriber identification module KMF-14
1:05:37 > 1:05:42revealed no activity since October 2014.
1:05:42 > 1:05:44All communications up to and including that date
1:05:44 > 1:05:47appear to relate to other unregistered users.
1:05:47 > 1:05:50Right, so you have got a phone that doesn't belong to me
1:05:50 > 1:05:52and a load of mysterious calls.
1:05:52 > 1:05:55Pardon me if I don't see the significance.
1:05:55 > 1:05:57On screen, image 909.
1:05:59 > 1:06:02Image 909 is item reference SJP-32.
1:06:02 > 1:06:04It was detected in the boot of a vehicle
1:06:04 > 1:06:06found at the Edge Park Golf Club
1:06:06 > 1:06:08in July of 2012.
1:06:08 > 1:06:12The vehicle is registered to Alex Campbell -
1:06:12 > 1:06:15the alias being used at the time by one John Thomas Hunter.
1:06:15 > 1:06:18Now, it was known Tommy Hunter used numerous such phones
1:06:18 > 1:06:21to conduct his criminal activities.
1:06:21 > 1:06:24But this particular phone is of interest to us
1:06:24 > 1:06:30because of a call made on the 8th of July 2012 at around midnight.
1:06:30 > 1:06:32It was from Hunter's phone to yours.
1:06:32 > 1:06:35And that's the significance, fella.
1:06:35 > 1:06:37In black and white.
1:06:37 > 1:06:40I have no connection with this phone or SIM Card you have been given.
1:06:40 > 1:06:43And I've certainly no connection to Hunter.
1:06:43 > 1:06:46So how come we are being told this phone belongs to you?
1:06:49 > 1:06:51This witness you've got, I bet he said
1:06:51 > 1:06:54he found this phone in my service vehicle a couple of years back.
1:06:56 > 1:06:58Well, I can neither confirm nor deny...
1:06:58 > 1:06:59Yeah, well, I CAN confirm that
1:06:59 > 1:07:02he's sat on this so-called evidence for a long time.
1:07:02 > 1:07:05I reckon he also told you he conned me into taking
1:07:05 > 1:07:07the wrong SIM Card back while he held on to the real McCoy.
1:07:07 > 1:07:10Yeah, well, as I said, I can neither confirm nor deny.
1:07:10 > 1:07:15Is there anything you've got linking me to these items? Mm?
1:07:16 > 1:07:18Something like forensic evidence?
1:07:21 > 1:07:23I did leave my phone in my service vehicle.
1:07:23 > 1:07:26And I was very grateful when DC Morton -
1:07:26 > 1:07:30and let's not be coy about names - returned it to me.
1:07:30 > 1:07:32Now, I have no idea where this other SIM Card has come from.
1:07:32 > 1:07:36But DC Morton informed us that it was you who induced him
1:07:36 > 1:07:38to mislead the original inquiry about The Caddy,
1:07:38 > 1:07:42that it was you, DI Cottan, who suggested attributing
1:07:42 > 1:07:45the nickname to a deceased police officer.
1:07:45 > 1:07:47Well, that's just not true, sir.
1:07:47 > 1:07:49It was DC Morton who did the misleading.
1:07:49 > 1:07:53He is the one that has been falsely claiming disability benefits.
1:07:53 > 1:07:57He will say anything to cling on to his pension. Anything at all.
1:07:57 > 1:07:59The man is a completely unreliable witness.
1:08:04 > 1:08:09DI Cottan, where were you on the morning of July 17th?
1:08:10 > 1:08:13You're asking me where I was when Lindsay Denton was murdered?
1:08:13 > 1:08:15100% that's what she's asking you.
1:08:15 > 1:08:18You need to demonstrate some legal basis for that question
1:08:18 > 1:08:20or I suggest you withdraw it immediately.
1:08:21 > 1:08:24Kate, bring up the next item and the map.
1:08:27 > 1:08:29Item reference MB-1 to MB-5,
1:08:29 > 1:08:32traffic cameras captured images of this vehicle
1:08:32 > 1:08:35on the morning of Lindsay's murder.
1:08:35 > 1:08:37Identical make, model and colour as Steve Arnott's
1:08:37 > 1:08:39but with different registration.
1:08:41 > 1:08:45It was driven on the route matching Lindsay's location that morning.
1:08:45 > 1:08:47The registration proved to be false.
1:08:47 > 1:08:50We are curious about the logic here.
1:08:50 > 1:08:51The logic?
1:08:51 > 1:08:54Steve Arnott takes the trouble to disguise a vehicle,
1:08:54 > 1:08:57but there were no fake plates found when Lindsay's body was discovered.
1:08:57 > 1:09:00I mean, why would Steve remove the fake plates...
1:09:00 > 1:09:03and then leave Lindsay's body lying in the front passenger seat
1:09:03 > 1:09:04for all the world to find?
1:09:07 > 1:09:11My hypothesis would be Steven Arnott only meant to abduct Lindsay Denton.
1:09:11 > 1:09:14Something went wrong, he killed her, he panicked.
1:09:16 > 1:09:18Would Lindsay really have got into Steve's car
1:09:18 > 1:09:20if she'd seen it was displaying fake plates?
1:09:20 > 1:09:22Everyone makes mistakes.
1:09:23 > 1:09:25Indeed we do, DI Cottan.
1:09:30 > 1:09:32Are there any witnesses that saw
1:09:32 > 1:09:35Steve's car being stolen, as he claimed?
1:09:35 > 1:09:39Mm? Any witnesses that saw anyone else driving the vehicle?
1:09:43 > 1:09:46I think these are questions for Steven Arnott, not me.
1:09:48 > 1:09:50DC Fleming.
1:09:50 > 1:09:53Steve Arnott insists he returned his firearm
1:09:53 > 1:09:54four days before Lindsay's murder.
1:09:54 > 1:09:57The booking-out officer at South Ferry armoury
1:09:57 > 1:09:59corroborates Steve's story.
1:09:59 > 1:10:01The booking-out officer is covering his own arse.
1:10:01 > 1:10:04Yeah, well, an impostor could have obtained the murder weapon
1:10:04 > 1:10:06and then forged the paperwork to make it appear that
1:10:06 > 1:10:09Steve Arnott's firearm had the same serial number as the murder weapon
1:10:09 > 1:10:11and that he never returned it.
1:10:11 > 1:10:14That's an interesting theory. But it couldn't have been me.
1:10:14 > 1:10:16I am not an AFO.
1:10:16 > 1:10:18How would I have obtained the murder weapon?
1:10:18 > 1:10:21The Caddy commands a network of corrupt officers.
1:10:21 > 1:10:23He does.
1:10:25 > 1:10:27But Steve Arnott's The Caddy, not me.
1:10:27 > 1:10:31- You have thought that since before Lindsay's murder.- Yeah.
1:10:31 > 1:10:35Yeah, in fact, you made a call to me the night before Lindsay's murder.
1:10:35 > 1:10:37You called me after you had observed Lindsay Denton
1:10:37 > 1:10:39return to her approved premises.
1:10:41 > 1:10:43- Yeah.- At 15 minutes after midnight,
1:10:43 > 1:10:45you called me from your mobile and you said,
1:10:45 > 1:10:48"That lead on Steve looks like it's going to pan out,
1:10:48 > 1:10:51"he really did plant the money at Lindsay's. Sorry.
1:10:51 > 1:10:55"I thought you would want to know before it becomes common knowledge."
1:10:55 > 1:10:57Did you make that call, DI Cottan?
1:10:58 > 1:11:00- I... - HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
1:11:00 > 1:11:03- Yeah.- Yeah, so what was that lead that was going to pan out?
1:11:03 > 1:11:04Erm...
1:11:08 > 1:11:10Well, it couldn't have been the money in Steve's gym bag,
1:11:10 > 1:11:13because that wasn't discovered until the forensics carried out
1:11:13 > 1:11:15a search in the service vehicle the next day.
1:11:18 > 1:11:21Arnott was behaving suspiciously and I wanted to give Kate
1:11:21 > 1:11:24a heads up, as they had been partners for a long time.
1:11:24 > 1:11:26Oh, that's very considerate of you,
1:11:26 > 1:11:30but I will ask you for a second time - what was the lead?
1:11:32 > 1:11:34Erm...
1:11:36 > 1:11:39..I had glimpsed some banknotes in his gym bag,
1:11:39 > 1:11:40I intended to investigate.
1:11:40 > 1:11:43- When did you see the banknotes? - Earlier that day.
1:11:47 > 1:11:49But how could you have known that forensics would connect them
1:11:49 > 1:11:51to the money planted at Lindsay's?
1:11:56 > 1:11:58Eh...
1:12:00 > 1:12:03DI Cottan, were you able to forewarn Kate
1:12:03 > 1:12:06because you had a scheme in mind where you were going to plant
1:12:06 > 1:12:07that money in Steve's service vehicle?
1:12:07 > 1:12:09No. No, absolutely not.
1:12:09 > 1:12:11That's how the service vehicle was stolen.
1:12:13 > 1:12:15You cloned the key
1:12:15 > 1:12:19- and were plotting to use it to plant evidence against Steve.- No.
1:12:19 > 1:12:21No, absolutely not.
1:12:21 > 1:12:25DI Cottan, I think we have earned the right to ask you the question -
1:12:25 > 1:12:29will you kindly tell us your whereabouts
1:12:29 > 1:12:31between 10 and 11 that morning?
1:12:33 > 1:12:36Well, I really don't have to answer that question.
1:12:37 > 1:12:39Don't you?
1:12:39 > 1:12:42This is a voluntary interview, and I am only cooperating out of
1:12:42 > 1:12:46my lawful duty as a police officer to assist in a criminal inquiry.
1:12:46 > 1:12:48Indeed you are, indeed you are,
1:12:48 > 1:12:50and we can call a halt to the proceedings right there
1:12:50 > 1:12:54and leave this question hanging over you and your career -
1:12:54 > 1:12:57or you can stick your hand up and offer us an answer
1:12:57 > 1:13:00and exclude yourself from our inquiries.
1:13:00 > 1:13:01Entirely your decision.
1:13:01 > 1:13:03Take your time.
1:13:13 > 1:13:15HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
1:13:18 > 1:13:20I was at my flat.
1:13:20 > 1:13:22I had had a late night on surveillance
1:13:22 > 1:13:25and I needed to catch up on some kip.
1:13:25 > 1:13:27- So you were in during those hours? - Yep.- Yep.
1:13:30 > 1:13:31Say that again.
1:13:34 > 1:13:37You just said you were in your flat, we have that on tape.
1:13:43 > 1:13:45Eh...
1:13:46 > 1:13:48It's a very simple matter, DI Cottan.
1:13:48 > 1:13:52DI Cottan has answered, haven't you, DI Cottan?
1:13:52 > 1:13:54You have mentioned, when questioned, something
1:13:54 > 1:13:57you later intend to rely on in court.
1:14:01 > 1:14:05Yeah, look, I... Sorry. I may have got that wrong.
1:14:06 > 1:14:10Eh, I just need to...think. Erm...
1:14:12 > 1:14:15I-I'd been up late and...
1:14:15 > 1:14:17Take your time, take your time.
1:14:23 > 1:14:27- I, eh, I need to think about that one.- Absolutely, absolutely.
1:14:32 > 1:14:36- Maybe I could just...- Yeah.- ..check my calendar...- Yeah, yeah.
1:14:39 > 1:14:42You wouldn't have entered my flat, would you, Kate?
1:14:53 > 1:14:54I mean, alone.
