0:00:03 > 0:00:06Sorry to trouble you at home, ma'am, but we've picked up a bystander
0:00:06 > 0:00:09999 on an active abduction of a young female in the Moss Heath area.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11We've being looking for him for months.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14We're going to get this bastard, yeah!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16A 24-year-old man has been charged.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Huntley's definitely hiding something about how the case
0:00:18 > 0:00:20against Farmer was handled. What, I don't know.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24There's the man you should be looking for up there.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Not Michael Farmer.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- You all right? - I need to go back to work.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36What have you got against Michael Farmer,
0:00:36 > 0:00:38except him being retarded enough for you to frame?!
0:00:42 > 0:00:46He was one of our own. I'm going to get on with finding the bastard that did this.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48I'm the senior ranking officer here, darling.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52I'm only putting you back where you belong. What are friends for?
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Hmm?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hana Reznikova was the last person known to have had contact
0:00:59 > 0:01:01with the victim.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Hana Reznikova, I am arresting you in connection with the murder
0:01:03 > 0:01:05of Timothy Ifield.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Fingertips were amputated postmortem.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14So, we're surmising that Tim tried to grab a handful of his assailant.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16To get some skin cells under his fingernails.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18A swab of worktop blood spatter.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Item reference KRG-13.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I'm just after some background info on an item of evidence
0:01:26 > 0:01:29from Tim Ifield's flat. KRG-13.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- She went to the forensic office. - What is she up to?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43You witnessed a cab outside the flats around 11pm
0:01:43 > 0:01:44on the night of the 17th?
0:01:44 > 0:01:45I think it was a cab.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Can you describe the driver?
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Image enhancement got a reg number on the vehicle seen near Tim's flat.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53It belongs to a Nicholas Huntley.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Nick Huntley could be dangerous. Call in.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- I didn't know what else to do. - Just tell me what happened.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- DS Arnold came to see me...- Arnott.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Arnott, came to see me, and, well...
0:02:24 > 0:02:26he ended up falling down the stairs.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Oh, my God.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Jesus Christ!
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- He's still alive?- I don't know.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38At least you had the presence of mind to go out and use
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- a pay phone to call me.- Yes.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I thought maybe I should, because he mentioned telephone calls,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46DS Arnott, between us that he was investigating.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48What calls?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50On the night you told me you were working and you left
0:02:50 > 0:02:52your phone at home.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57He called me, Roz, and so I called Jimmy Lakewell straight away.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01And he said not to make any further comment to him.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02About what?
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Come on, Nick!
0:03:05 > 0:03:08He wanted to know your whereabouts on the night that you said
0:03:08 > 0:03:10that you were working.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Why?- I don't know, I can't remember. He was...
0:03:17 > 0:03:21He was pressuring me and he was coming up and then I thought,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- maybe, he'd gone to the old floor. I don't know.- Pressuring you how?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Well, he was saying stuff. He was pushing me.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- "He was saying stuff." - Don't start, Roz!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32You're the one who's started and I'm left with the mess to clear up!
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Is there a way to get into your building avoiding CCTV?
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Yes. That's the one I've just used.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Good. Get up to whatever floor you're meant to be on.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Phone security, tell them to go and look for DS Arnott.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48You're worried he's got lost somewhere in the building.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49What if somebody sees us?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51This is not an abstruse point of corporate law, Nick.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54This is real crime and I do this for a living.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Go on.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Go!
0:04:28 > 0:04:29SIREN BLARES
0:04:34 > 0:04:35I'm his gaffer. How is he?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Too early to say for certain. He's in a bad way.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Yes. So what happened?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Security guard found him at the bottom of the stairs.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Didn't see anyone else around. Injuries are consistent with a fall.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Mother of God.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50That's him, sir, that's her husband.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Right. This is no accident, until proven otherwise!
0:04:53 > 0:04:55OK. I want this place locked down as a crime scene!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Full forensic deployment!
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Nicholas Huntley?- Yes.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01You're a material witness to the events surrounding the
0:05:01 > 0:05:04serious injury of a serving police officer going about his lawful duty.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- I don't know anything. - Save it, fella. Look, you know,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08you can do this voluntarily or we can do it the hard way.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Right. I want him detained for forensics.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13And, James, you're in charge. Right, you lot. I'm with you.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15We'll need your clothes, Mr Huntley.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Come with me.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27ALARM BLARES
0:05:38 > 0:05:42En route with P1, GCS 9. ETA five minutes.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Thank you.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Jimmy, thanks for the change of clothes, mate.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58There's no way am I letting you go round looking like you're
0:05:58 > 0:06:00already convicted.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Detective Sergeant Arnott
0:06:04 > 0:06:08phoned me to arrange a follow-up interview.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12He informed me that he was outside my firm's building,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16and that he was on his way to up to my office and then he hung up.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19And when he didn't arrive, it was at that moment that I realised
0:06:19 > 0:06:21that he must have gone to our old floor.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23As soon as I realised DS Arnott's mistake...
0:06:23 > 0:06:26My officer made no mistake. He was on to you.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29You were the only person who knew where he was.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30We weren't born yesterday, fella!
0:06:30 > 0:06:33We all appreciate that you're concerned for your officer's
0:06:33 > 0:06:36condition, but, come on, let's dial down the Ian Paisley!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41You fancy yourself as a bit of a comedian, do you?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45I have a man in the hospital. That's no laughing matter.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Nick and I are old colleagues, so I've got more than
0:06:47 > 0:06:50a professional interest in my client's fair treatment,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53so no-one would be happier than me if your whole department
0:06:53 > 0:06:56stopped looking like they want to blame Nick and started realising
0:06:56 > 0:07:00that your officer's fall resulted from an unfortunate accident.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01My officer was highly trained.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04He's a former counter-terrorism team leader.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08He did not slip and fall down three flights of stairs by "accident".
0:07:08 > 0:07:10He was pushed.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12And you were the only person who knew he was there, Mr Huntley.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Coincidence. A complete coincidence.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19The security guard, he's got no idea how DS Arnott's attacker
0:07:19 > 0:07:22could have accessed the building without him knowing.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Unless he was in there already.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27You can't be suggesting that Nick was responsible for your
0:07:27 > 0:07:28officer's fall.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31He was two flights up in an office full of colleagues.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34The office manager told us Mr Huntley left the office for
0:07:34 > 0:07:36approximately 15 minutes around the time DS Arnott sustained his
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- injuries.- I went to the toilet.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Yeah. I thought you were waiting for DS Arnott?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44He didn't appear. I got butterflies.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Do you have any evidence to the contrary?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52We're looking at the whole picture, the whole picture. DC Desford.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Uh, yeah... erm...
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Traffic camera video capture...
0:08:02 > 0:08:04March 17th.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Good. You recognise this vehicle, Mr Huntley?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Help him, DC Desford.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15For the tape, the interviewee is being shown
0:08:15 > 0:08:17a vehicle registration number.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20That's my car.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22So we have this vehicle crossing this junction and then coming
0:08:22 > 0:08:24back a few hours later.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Now, the reason we're interested in this particular junction is
0:08:26 > 0:08:31because it serves an address just a few hundred yards away where, on the
0:08:31 > 0:08:35night in question, a member of the police forensic staff was murdered.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Timothy Ifield.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I... I've got nothing to do with any murder.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52We also have a witness saying a vehicle matching this
0:08:52 > 0:08:55description and a driver matching your description was seen
0:08:55 > 0:08:57outside the address where the murder took place.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Are you seriously suggesting that Nick is a suspect?
0:09:01 > 0:09:02No. One step at a time.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I'd just like to know if Mr Huntley saw anything on the night
0:09:05 > 0:09:08in question that might help us with our inquiries?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10No, I didn't. No. Sorry.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14You see, normally in a situation like this someone's mobile phone
0:09:14 > 0:09:16would give us their location every second of the night.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19However, you conveniently left yours at home.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22The man forgot his phone. It's simple as that, nothing sinister.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Right. Well, perhaps Mr Huntley can tell us where he was, exactly,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28on that night?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Nick isn't obliged to give you that information.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Very well.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Let's move on to your wife, Detective Chief Inspector Huntley.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Now, on the night in question, the 17th,
0:09:42 > 0:09:46when you were out for that drive, she's claimed she was at home, sick.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48DC Desford.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Yeah. Um...
0:09:55 > 0:09:59A call to your wife's mobile was made at around 8pm.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04So, why the call, when she said she was home?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Our kids made that call.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10They didn't realise that she was asleep in the spare room.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14In the spare room?
0:10:14 > 0:10:19Yes. So, she wouldn't give me her illness or disturb me,
0:10:19 > 0:10:20if she had a sleepless night.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24DC Desford.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Yeah... Um...
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Image 47.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39This is a frame of CCTV captured on the evening of January 25th
0:10:39 > 0:10:40in the Moss Heath area.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44You wouldn't happen to be able to help us identify this
0:10:44 > 0:10:46particular individual?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Mr Huntley?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Take your time, Nick.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56The 25th.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Yes.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06Yes. I was at a work function in Northampton that evening.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07So, I can't help you.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11And I bet there are loads of witnesses to corroborate that?
0:11:11 > 0:11:16- Yes.- Great. Thanks, I hope that's covered. Anything else?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Do you have any of your officer's DNA on my client?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Any of his clothes fibres?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25I can ask the same regarding the murder of this Timothy Ifield.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Inquiries are ongoing.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33They've got no witnesses. No CCTV.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35No forensics.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37My client's given full cooperation.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Either you arrest him under Code G or he's free to go.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45This inquiry isn't finished, not by a long chalk.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Don't you kid yourselves, fellas. DC Desford.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52When my officer wakes up, he'll have a tale to tell.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Then we'll see what's what.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08You want to sharpen up your act there, James.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Sir.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Kate, what are you doing here? You could be seen.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I had to come, sir. How is he?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26He's got fractures of his right leg, pelvis, vertebrae,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28fractured skull, some busted ribs.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31I mean, they've operated, but the nurse says it's too early
0:12:31 > 0:12:32to say anything, so...
0:12:32 > 0:12:35You can never find a bloody doctor when you want one.
0:12:44 > 0:12:50You ought to look at this. CCTV from Steve's fall.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I thought we'd drawn a blank?
0:12:52 > 0:12:56I got this from neighbouring premises overlooking an alleyway.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Good God.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Timing fits with Steve's fall, sir.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- This was just a few minutes after. - Well, there you have it.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Balaclava Man, he can't be Michael Farmer, he can't be Tim Ifield.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11It's looking like he could be Nick Huntley.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13No traces of Steve's blood or DNA were found on Nick Huntley.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14No clothes fibres, either.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Nor any fibres that might relate to the Balaclava Man outfit.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Yeah, but this is no coincidence. Huntley's definitely involved.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21He's the only person who knew where Steve was.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- What? Do you think he tipped somebody off?- No.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Huntley only made one phone call after Steve's initial
0:13:25 > 0:13:28voicemail, which was to his solicitor, seeking legal advice.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Right, so it's all down to Steve identifying Huntley as his
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- assailant.- Sir.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34What about the Tim Ifield murder?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Any more connections with Nick Huntley there?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Maneet's studied all the traffic cameras in the vicinity
0:13:39 > 0:13:40of Tim Ifield's flat.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43There were no other sightings of Nick Huntley's vehicle
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- for the night of Tim's murder. - Come on, son.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Steve Arnott's up in intensive care and you've gone into
0:13:47 > 0:13:49full steam reverse!
0:13:54 > 0:13:57If they had anything, they'd have held you. Trust me.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- It's fine.- Hey, hey!
0:14:00 > 0:14:05They showed me a CCTV picture of some scary bloke in a balaclava.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08It's to do with this death, this murder.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Why were they asking you questions about Timothy Ifield's murder?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18What haven't you told me?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Jesus Christ, Roz, you've got a nerve.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24You're the one that's doing all the lying, not me.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I'm going to ask you again. Why were
0:14:27 > 0:14:29they asking you questions about Timothy Ifield's murder?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Because I was there...
0:14:33 > 0:14:35..that night.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37They've got my car on a traffic camera
0:14:37 > 0:14:40a few hundred yards away from his flat.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48You still don't get it, do you? The late nights. The excuses.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49The brush-off in bed.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I knew that you had to be with someone.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54You followed me?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I didn't intend to.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01But you left your phone at home when you said that you were going
0:15:01 > 0:15:04to work. So I picked it up and I tried to catch you.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10I saw you take a different turn to some dodgy mini-cab firm.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Jesus Christ, Nick.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13So, I followed that cab until you got out.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18I realise now it was to avoid the traffic camera that captured my car.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21And I saw you walk down a side street and I got to the end
0:15:21 > 0:15:24just in time to see you go into those flats.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31And every minute I wanted to bang on that door
0:15:31 > 0:15:32and catch the pair of you at it.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38But I didn't. I gave up and I came here, I came home.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39To our house. To our kids.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43To the life that we've built.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50For God's sake, Nick. I had this under control. Instead...
0:15:50 > 0:15:54my husband was prowling the area that night and now they're
0:15:54 > 0:15:57wondering if you set up one of their officers to be killed.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00That's conspiracy to murder.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06OK, so, what did you tell AC-12?
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Give me some credit,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Roz, I didn't say that my wife was with another man, OK?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14I covered for you. I said that you were at home.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Unwell, like you'd told them.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Good.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23What happened in those flats that night? Was it him?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- Him?- Was it him? Him? Him?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27The one that was...that was killed?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32No. No more lies, Roz. I want the truth.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40I was with someone that night.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- And?- And what?- And what happened?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54We had feelings for each other. And we spent the night together.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59A crime took place nearby. We had nothing to do with it,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01we weren't even witnesses,
0:17:01 > 0:17:05but neither of us can admit to work that we were in the area that night.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10So, he's a policeman?
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Married?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Who?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19No-one you know. And it's over.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41HE KNOCKS
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Yeah, come in. Come in.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Sorry to bother you, sir. I've been looking at finding a way to place
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- a suspect inside of Tim's flat.- Good.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50There was an item of evidence, sir, KRG-13,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53the isolated blood spatter from Tim Ifield's flat.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Yes, there was some question about the label being overwritten,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57but Steve and Kate didn't think it was significant.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Meaning no disrespect, sir, but that was before we knew
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Nick Huntley was in the neighbourhood that night.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05That raises a distinct possibility DCI Huntley could've been
0:18:05 > 0:18:08deliberately misleading the inquiry away from her husband.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Look, I was thinking of sequestering the original sample to be
0:18:11 > 0:18:12re-examined by an independent lab.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Great. That's more like it, good.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Sir, hospital just called. Steve's regained consciousness.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Thank you, Maneet. Meet me at the lift, James.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Maneet, there's a couple of things the gaffer wants me
0:18:24 > 0:18:25- to look into.- Yeah, no probs.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28And could you please find a way of telling him my name's not James?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Easier to turn an oil tanker.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Your son showed signs of coming round of his own accord.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35We lightened the sedation,
0:18:35 > 0:18:39he was appropriate, so we removed the tube from Steven's throat.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41It's a good sign.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Mr and Mrs Arnott? Superintendent Hastings.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Look, I'm very sorry, this must be a very difficult time for you.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49But I've got to crack on and talk to your son, but we'll speak later,
0:18:49 > 0:18:50all right?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02How are you, son? How are you feeling?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Awful.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05That's the spirit.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- All right.- All right.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11They looking after you, anybody needing shaking up?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I'm in good hands, sir.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Good. Now, if you don't mind, we'll just get straight to it?
0:19:17 > 0:19:18I'll do my best.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Good man.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Do you remember much at all about what happened to you?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Talking on the phone
0:19:28 > 0:19:31to Nick Huntley, going up in the lift...
0:19:33 > 0:19:37..someone jumped me, hit me over the head. After that, it's all hazy.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Right. OK.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Well, we have a CCTV image here that we'd like you to look at.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Now, do you think that could be your attacker?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01A lot of it's blank, sir.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I'm not sure if he's the one attacked me or...
0:20:13 > 0:20:16..or I'm getting mixed up with the images of Balaclava Man.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21I thought there was a baseball bat, but he doesn't have one.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Maybe I'm remembering an old case.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Is there any chance that this could be Nick Huntley?
0:20:32 > 0:20:33I don't know.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Well, full marks for honesty, son.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Ma'am.- Something up?
0:20:58 > 0:21:02I just heard something from a mate in Forensics.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06AC-12 are asking to examine evidence from Tim's flat.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11What evidence?
0:21:11 > 0:21:15KRG-13, the blood spatter that Kate was interested in.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19I'm sorry, I wasn't sure if I should say anything...
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Night, Jodie.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25OK.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44LINE RINGS
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I realise this wasn't purely a social invitation.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I'm aware of the pitfalls of making an official complaint.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06But you ought to know what AC-12 are up to.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10They're trying to discredit my inquiry.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17I cannot imagine a more damaging climb-down for this force.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24There is a solution.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26There is?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Closing the case against Michael Farmer,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32securing a conviction for his awful crimes
0:22:32 > 0:22:36and keeping Timothy Ifield's offences an internal matter.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40He's dead, there won't be a trial, only a coroner's inquest.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Why give AC-12 reign to destroy public trust?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50All I need is your backing, sir.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58AC-12 have a habit of using underhand tactics.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01It's never a fair fight.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07There are one or two things I could tell you that would even things up.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Thank you very much, sir.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13We're off duty. There's no need for "sir".
0:23:18 > 0:23:21This is a nice place. Are you a regular, sir?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Are you a regular?
0:23:23 > 0:23:27It's a convenient pit stop. I live out of town.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31When it's a late finish, the rooms aren't too shabby.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34I'm booked in for tonight.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Am I keeping you from something?
0:23:42 > 0:23:46No. No. The kids help themselves to a ready meal
0:23:46 > 0:23:49on a school night, when I'm on duty.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52And Nick's often late, too. My husband, Nick.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Yes. Lucky Nick.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- Would you like another drink? - No, I shouldn't.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06We're just two old friends having a drink.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12Tonight's just too difficult. It's boring domestic reasons. But we...
0:24:12 > 0:24:15We could pick this up another evening.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I'll look at my diary.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Let me give you a different phone number. Just to be discreet.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47This piece of evidence that AC-12 want to pull from forensics...
0:24:47 > 0:24:49KRG-13.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51..which FI's initials are those?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Kevin R Gill.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Ta.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16I know it's a bit parky out here.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20No, thanks. It's easier to talk outside the office.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Listen, AC-12 have been poking their noses in about one
0:25:26 > 0:25:28of your forensic samples.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30The label was overwritten.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35It looks like you wrote KRG-30 and then corrected it to KRG-13.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Look, Kevin, I'm the last person to point the finger.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42But AC-12, they're a different story.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Look, I'm not saying I'm 100% sure,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48but I don't remember overwriting any label.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Well, percentages help. What would you say? 75...
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- 50...?- 80. 90.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Then, how was it overwritten?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- Look, I've got no angle here, Kev.- Kevin.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09I'm the SIO, Kevin, and I want to catch the bastard who killed
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Timothy Ifield.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13If there's a question mark hanging over
0:26:13 > 0:26:15a crucial piece of forensic evidence, I need to know.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Yeah, right. I've got to work with you lot.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20No way am I going to turn round and say that somebody's been
0:26:20 > 0:26:22tampering with evidence. Cos that'll make me a whistle-blower.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- And we all know what happens to them.- Kevin...
0:26:24 > 0:26:26This is my fag break.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52You should have come to see me sooner.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Yeah, sorry I... Work.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59We're going to take a swab.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Is that necessary? - It won't delay anything.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I'll give you a painkiller, start you on some antibiotics.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11You should see a specialist.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16You're running a fever.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I think I should sign you off on sick leave,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20until the specialist sees you.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22There's no way I can take time off work, I'm sorry.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23I just can't.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32DOOR SHUTS
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Where are the kids?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51The high street youth club, with a tenner between them.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Nando's.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57On a school night?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00You don't want to talk to me, Roz?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Of course I do.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07I've had a crap day, I've got another bloody fever.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10I just want to take a couple of paracetamol and zonk out.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19What really happened that night, Roz?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23The night of the murder?
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Because the more I think about it,
0:28:28 > 0:28:30the more holes there are in your story.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Would you really risk so much to hide a fling?
0:28:41 > 0:28:44I know I hurt you, Nick. And I am sorry.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46You don't seem sorry, Roz.
0:28:47 > 0:28:48What do I seem?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Like you're still hiding something.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03I've stopped believing a word you say.
0:29:03 > 0:29:08Look at what I do, Nick, not what I say. What I actually do.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Everything is for us, for this family.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13No, it's all for yourself.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17And you had better start treating me better.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22I know you were in those flats where the murder happened.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24What are you trying to say?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27I'm saying I've had it with being taken for a fool.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Were you not listening? Look at what I do.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38You're linked to the near-death of an anti-corruption detective.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41And you were hanging around outside a crime scene.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42You are the fool.
0:29:45 > 0:29:46I'm the one protecting you.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54HE SOBS
0:30:02 > 0:30:03It's OK.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09It's OK.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Come in.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Sir, the lab's analysed the original sample reference KRG-13.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20They've found an anomaly.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Great. This gets better and better. Come in.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- Sorry.- That's OK.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42I'm afraid it's bad news, Roz.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00AC-12 have issued you with a second Reg 15.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01On what grounds?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04If they're issuing a second one, it means they're citing
0:31:04 > 0:31:06a substantively different offence from last time.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08OK.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12I'll be honest, Roz. They're coming after you.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14It's not just taking you off the case this time.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16It could be suspension, dismissal from the service,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18maybe even criminal charges.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21Sorry.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Thanks, Maneet.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01Thanks, Maneet.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07BUZZING
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Anti-corruption Unit 12 interview by Superintendent Hastings and
0:32:19 > 0:32:22DC Desford of Detective Chief Inspector Roseanne Huntley, in the
0:32:22 > 0:32:26presence of her Police Federation Representative DCI Mark Moffatt.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Please identify yourselves for the DIR.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- Hastings.- Huntley. - Moffatt.- Desford.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34DCI Huntley, you do not have to say anything, but it may harm your
0:32:34 > 0:32:37defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something
0:32:37 > 0:32:38you later rely on in court.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Anything you do say may be used in evidence.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Questions will be put to you by Superintendent Hastings, as it
0:32:43 > 0:32:47is your right to be questioned by an officer at least one rank senior.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51I will furnish factual information only, starting with Image 47, from a
0:32:51 > 0:32:54CCTV camera captured on the night of January 25th in the vicinity
0:32:54 > 0:32:57of the last confirmed sighting of Leonie Collersdale
0:32:57 > 0:32:58before she disappeared.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Now, this man is wearing a black jacket of the type worn
0:33:01 > 0:33:03by Hana Reznikova's abductor.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05What steps have you taken to find him?
0:33:07 > 0:33:09We believe this is Michael Farmer.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16Image 136, from a CCTV camera overlooking the car park
0:33:16 > 0:33:19of a DIY Superstore, captured on the night of March 17th.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22And we believe this is Timothy Ifield.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Well, clearly there are some similarities.- Clearly.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30However, Timothy Ifield was aware of Image 47.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34He could have deliberately styled himself, in order to simulate
0:33:34 > 0:33:36the suspect seen on January 25th.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Right. Well, let's see what you have to say about this...
0:33:47 > 0:33:48DC Desford.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54From a CCTV camera captured on the 6th of April, in an alley
0:33:54 > 0:33:57adjacent to your husband's office building.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Now, Timothy Ifield, bless him, is six foot under,
0:33:59 > 0:34:04so it can't be him styling himself to simulate Balaclava Man.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08And Michael Farmer has been in custody for nearly a month.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12Why haven't you shared this evidence? This is my investigation!
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Clearly, DCI Huntley, I would have reservations,
0:34:15 > 0:34:18regarding the connection to your husband.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21DCI Huntley's spouse was released without charge by AC-12.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24You're presuming guilt before innocence.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Document Seven, DC Desford.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Document Seven in your folders,
0:34:34 > 0:34:39a photocopy made by this unit on April 7th of a form MG-6
0:34:39 > 0:34:44submitted electronically by you on April 5th to the Senior Prosecutor
0:34:44 > 0:34:49in the Complex Case Unit in respect of evidence against Hana Reznikova.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Do you recognise the form, DCI Huntley?
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Yes.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Timothy Ifield's killer left not a single strand of DNA
0:34:55 > 0:34:58or a single fingerprint at the crime scene.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Now, you are saying that Hana Reznikova had the knowledge
0:35:02 > 0:35:04and the skills to do that?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07She is a cleaner, sir.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Timothy Ifield's killer amputated the second,
0:35:09 > 0:35:14third and fourth digits of the victim's right hand postmortem.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17And what? You think she's up to that too?
0:35:17 > 0:35:18Yes, I do, sir,
0:35:18 > 0:35:22to remove her DNA lodged under Timothy Ifield's fingernails.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Right. Well, tell me this, were there any corresponding wounds found
0:35:24 > 0:35:27anywhere on Hana Reznikova body?
0:35:27 > 0:35:30The wounds could have been superficial enough to have
0:35:30 > 0:35:31healed by the time we charged her,
0:35:31 > 0:35:36or she might have mistakenly assumed her DNA had contaminated the body.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Kindly answer the question, DCI Huntley.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Were there any corresponding wounds found on Hana Reznikova's body,
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- yes or no?- No.- No.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47You have not got the evidence to pass the threshold test
0:35:47 > 0:35:50for charging and yet you seriously believe that that wee girl,
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Hana Reznikova, murdered Timothy Ifield?
0:35:53 > 0:35:54Yes, I do, sir.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55What - and not this man?
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Like I said, this needs to be investigated.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Yes, our point entirely.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- DC Desford.- Document Nine.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Forensic evidence log from the examination
0:36:07 > 0:36:09of Timothy's Ifield's flat on the 23rd of March.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Do you recognise said log?
0:36:12 > 0:36:13Yes, sir.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Item Reference KRG-13 is recorded in said log.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21We would draw your attention to the labelling of said item KRG-13.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23James.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27I'm sorry.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28On screen, image 12.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Image 12 is a photograph taken by this department of the label
0:36:32 > 0:36:33on the evidence bag.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37And what can you tell us about this label, DCI Huntley?
0:36:37 > 0:36:38It's been overwritten.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Indeed, it has. Indeed, it has.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42We interviewed the forensic investigator corresponding
0:36:42 > 0:36:46to the designation K-R-G, Kevin R Gill.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Mr Gill was unable to account for the overwriting.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51That doesn't mean there's anything suspicious here.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Yeah, but we also sequestered the original sample.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Image 22 on screen.
0:36:56 > 0:37:01Image 22 is a crime scene photograph captured on the 23rd March of the
0:37:01 > 0:37:04blood spatter detected in Timothy Ifield's flat.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Turn to document 15 in your folders.
0:37:08 > 0:37:13I quote from the report made by the independent forensic scientist.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16"Swab sample shows staining with human blood.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19"Analysis of the blood sample detected DNA matching the
0:37:19 > 0:37:21"control sample for Timothy Ifield.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24"The probability that this sample contains Timothy Ifield's
0:37:24 > 0:37:27"blood is greater than 99.9%."
0:37:29 > 0:37:33So far, so expected, wouldn't you say, DCI Huntley?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Yes, sir.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Yes, but our independent analysis does not end there.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44We've been informed of an anomaly.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45I quote,
0:37:45 > 0:37:48"Present within the blood sample are a number of clothing fibres.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50"All fibres are of the same type,
0:37:50 > 0:37:53"suggesting they originate from the same source.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56"Comparison with the reference database reveals
0:37:56 > 0:38:00"a match with the white high-density polythene of over-suits worn
0:38:00 > 0:38:02"by forensic investigators.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06"The probability of this match is greater than 99.9%."
0:38:08 > 0:38:11What do you make of that, DCI Huntley?
0:38:11 > 0:38:15It's possible the FI taking the sample inadvertently made
0:38:15 > 0:38:18contact with the swab or blood with his own white over-suit.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21I mean really, do you seriously believe that an experienced
0:38:21 > 0:38:23FI is going to be that clumsy?
0:38:23 > 0:38:24I mean...who are you kidding?
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Besides those suits are specifically designed not to shed fibres.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32But, of course, you would know this, wouldn't you, DCI Huntley?
0:38:32 > 0:38:36Being an experienced and, I'm told, highly skilled senior detective.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Superintendent Hastings, your tone is oppressive.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43She's an SIO. 20 years on the force, fella.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46If she can't take it, God help us all.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49DCI Huntley?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57For the DIR, the interviewee is not answering.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01That swab had to be taken from the blood-stained over-suit that
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Timothy Ifield was wearing at the time of his death.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07And as said over-suit was not found at the scene of the crime,
0:39:07 > 0:39:11it leads me to believe that the person who took the swab was
0:39:11 > 0:39:15very closely connected to the killer himself.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Or...herself.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26That sample, KRG-13, was tampered with.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30DCI Huntley?
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Possibly.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34"Possibly." Look.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38We all know under modern policing methods it's extremely difficult,
0:39:38 > 0:39:41it's nigh on impossible to plant evidence once a crime scene
0:39:41 > 0:39:46has been opened. However, it is conceivably possible to replace
0:39:46 > 0:39:51evidence once it's in storage if one has access to said storage facility.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Unfortunately, there's no CCTV covering the evidence room
0:39:54 > 0:39:57where the samples were stored, as it's a staff area.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Security cameras only cover areas where officers come into
0:39:59 > 0:40:02contact with members of the public, for the protection of all parties.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Police officers have a right to go about their personal business
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- in private.- I beg to differ. We're public servants.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Everything we do, everything, should stand up to public scrutiny.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12So, let's see what we have.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15We have the possibility of planting evidence in the case against
0:40:15 > 0:40:20Michael Farmer and we have interference in forensic
0:40:20 > 0:40:23evidence in the murder of Timothy Ifield.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26It's a complex case, sir. In fact, two cases.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28It sure is.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Did you investigate who had access to Michael Farmer's home
0:40:32 > 0:40:34prior to his arrest?
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Of course we have, sir.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48Document 33, a copy of my Decision Log recorded on the night
0:40:48 > 0:40:52of March 9th, regarding operations at Michael Farmer's home.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56"21.25 FARS OIC clears property for entry.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58"DCI Huntley clears FARS Investigator
0:40:58 > 0:41:00"and FC to enter property."
0:41:01 > 0:41:04The FC in this case being Timothy Ifield.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06And Timothy Ifield's DNA was detected on
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Leonie Collersdale's body.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13Hence we are pursuing complicity between Timothy Ifield
0:41:13 > 0:41:14and Michael Farmer.
0:41:17 > 0:41:22Do you have any evidence connecting Michael Farmer to Timothy Ifield?
0:41:25 > 0:41:26- Not yet, sir.- No.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30No, so this complicity between them is just wild speculation
0:41:30 > 0:41:32on your part, DCI Huntley.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Now, from what we know of Timothy Ifield
0:41:34 > 0:41:37he was probably trying to do the exact opposite.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39He was probably trying to prove Michael Farmer's innocence.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44You see, Timothy Ifield stumbled upon a conspiracy to protect a
0:41:44 > 0:41:48person or persons unknown, possibly the person in the CCTV footage
0:41:48 > 0:41:53on the 25th of January, for which he was murdered for his silence.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57Now have you or your inquiry,
0:41:57 > 0:42:01made any effort whatsoever to explore this possibility?
0:42:04 > 0:42:05We...
0:42:10 > 0:42:11No, we haven't, sir.
0:42:11 > 0:42:16No, DCI Huntley. YOU haven't. You alone.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22DCI Huntley's been suffering from illness recently.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Perhaps we could take a break for a few minutes.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26No.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30I really wish that it all ended there,
0:42:30 > 0:42:34but sadly, Timothy Ifield was murdered, and in respect of a prime
0:42:34 > 0:42:40suspect, we're looking very close to home. Very close to home, indeed.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43DC Desford.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Image 36.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49Image 36 is a frame taken from traffic camera video recorded
0:42:49 > 0:42:51at 11pm on the night of March 17th.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55Image 36 captures a vehicle registered to your husband,
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Nicholas Huntley, in the vicinity of Timothy Ifield's flat.
0:42:58 > 0:43:03The night of March the 17th has been identified as the most likely
0:43:03 > 0:43:05time for that murder to take place.
0:43:07 > 0:43:13DCI Huntley, in my view there is a clear conflict of interest
0:43:13 > 0:43:18regarding your position and the possible involvement of your husband
0:43:18 > 0:43:20in these offences. Also now,
0:43:20 > 0:43:25it is extremely difficult to exclude you as a suspect in tampering
0:43:25 > 0:43:29with evidence that might implicate your husband in said murder.
0:43:29 > 0:43:33Therefore I will be recommending to the Executive Officer, in the
0:43:33 > 0:43:38strongest possible terms, that you be suspended from duty,
0:43:38 > 0:43:42effective immediately. Now, you are not under arrest.
0:43:42 > 0:43:48However, our inquiries are ongoing and you may subsequently be arrested
0:43:48 > 0:43:50in connection with these offences.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52Do you understand what I'm saying to you?
0:43:53 > 0:43:56- I do.- And have you anything further to add?
0:43:59 > 0:44:00I do.
0:44:02 > 0:44:06Well, look...your Federation Rep said you might want a break now.
0:44:06 > 0:44:09You said it yourself, Superintendent.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12I'm an SIO, 20 years in, the tape's running, let's proceed.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15How many detectives of the rank of inspector or above have you
0:44:15 > 0:44:17investigated in the last five years?
0:44:17 > 0:44:19I really don't see how that's relevant.
0:44:19 > 0:44:22- Do you have an answer? - Not to hand. No.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26You've investigated three, myself included.
0:44:26 > 0:44:30Two of the three were female, that's 67%,
0:44:30 > 0:44:33when the proportion of females in those ranks is 10%.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35Who's giving you this information?
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Am I wrong?
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Well, that's a very small sample to be quoting percentages out of.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42We've charged a Deputy Chief Constable and
0:44:42 > 0:44:45a retired Chief Superintendent, both male.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48We're only interested in one thing here and one thing only, and
0:44:48 > 0:44:54that's bent coppers, irrespective of race, creed, colour, or gender.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57- You're blind to gender?- Absolutely.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03On the 23rd of March, in a conversation at the scene
0:45:03 > 0:45:07of Timothy Ifield's murder, did you address me as "darling"?
0:45:10 > 0:45:12Once again, I really don't see how this is relevant.
0:45:12 > 0:45:13Yes or no, Superintendent,
0:45:13 > 0:45:16did you address me using a non-gender-neutral term?
0:45:19 > 0:45:21Yes.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24How many female officers within AC-12 have been promoted
0:45:24 > 0:45:26to the rank of inspector or above in the last five years?
0:45:26 > 0:45:29Look, the internal workings of this unit have absolutely no relevance
0:45:29 > 0:45:32to the matter in front of us now and frankly it's none of your business.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35Your use of sexist language makes me raise the matter,
0:45:35 > 0:45:38and, in respect of the promotion of female officers,
0:45:38 > 0:45:40your unit lags behind the national average.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42Yes, well, it's very specialist work we do here and I have to
0:45:42 > 0:45:45think very carefully about who I promote to senior positions.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47But where are you getting this information from?
0:45:47 > 0:45:49Well, that's confidential.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Yes, well, in that case I think we should just terminate this
0:45:51 > 0:45:53interview. DC Desford.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57Are you a member of a Masonic organisation?
0:46:01 > 0:46:03I wouldn't do that if I were you, DC Desford.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05That makes you an active participant in denying me
0:46:05 > 0:46:08my rights under police regulations to defend myself.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24Are you or are you not a Mason?
0:46:25 > 0:46:28I'm not at liberty to discuss the matter.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30And whoever is feeding you this prejudicial information...
0:46:30 > 0:46:33Masons are the mafia of the mediocre.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36A network of officers linked to corruption
0:46:36 > 0:46:39and an organisation that traditionally excludes women.
0:46:39 > 0:46:43For the DIR, Superintendent Hastings has risen from his seat.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46You have a record of excluding women from positions of authority
0:46:46 > 0:46:47and what better way than to conduct
0:46:47 > 0:46:50witch hunts against senior female officers?
0:46:50 > 0:46:53You're just trying to wriggle off the hook. This won't wash.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56DCI Huntley has raised valid concerns, regarding the treatment
0:46:56 > 0:46:59of female Police Federation members by your department.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01She's laid a foundation to explain why, in our view,
0:47:01 > 0:47:03the investigation against her is malicious.
0:47:03 > 0:47:08Please sit down, Superintendent, or it would seem you're denying
0:47:08 > 0:47:12my colleague her lawful rights as a serving police officer.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Thank you.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23For the DIR, Superintendent Hastings has retaken his seat.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26The matter before us, Superintendent,
0:47:26 > 0:47:28is whether DCI Huntley's carried out her duties
0:47:28 > 0:47:31and responsibilities under police regulations.
0:47:31 > 0:47:35The matter is whether she has been complicit in a criminal offence.
0:47:35 > 0:47:40These are photocopies of a statement given to my team
0:47:40 > 0:47:42by Forensic Investigator Kevin R Gill
0:47:42 > 0:47:45after the statement he made to AC-12.
0:47:45 > 0:47:48You'll see that Mr Gill accepts responsibility for
0:47:48 > 0:47:52overwriting the label item reference KRG-13, the isolated blood
0:47:52 > 0:47:54spatter found at the scene of Timothy Ifield's murder.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56- Now, wait a minute... - Hold on, hold on.
0:47:56 > 0:48:00Now FIs depend on good relations with police officers.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03Come on, he'd change his story if he thought it would help.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06That's a very interesting remark, DC Desford.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09You're claiming the FI says whatever the investigating police
0:48:09 > 0:48:11- officer wants to hear? - No, no, no, no... That's not...
0:48:11 > 0:48:14So, that would mean the FI told AC-12 what you wanted to hear?
0:48:14 > 0:48:16And in order to make the case against me,
0:48:16 > 0:48:19you wanted to hear that he didn't overwrite the label.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21That's not what I meant, OK? That's not what I meant.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24I note your agitated tone, DC Desford. Why are you agitated?
0:48:24 > 0:48:26Because you're putting words in my mouth.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28Say that again, DC Desford.
0:48:28 > 0:48:31For the DIR, Superintendent Hastings has given
0:48:31 > 0:48:34a non-verbal gesture ordering DC Desford not to answer.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38Stable door, horse bolted.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42You, DC Desford, volunteered that you believe Kevin Gill
0:48:42 > 0:48:45made the statement AC-12 wanted to hear, but you've accused me
0:48:45 > 0:48:48of fabricating that same observation, when we all
0:48:48 > 0:48:52recognise the DIR will support my version of the conversation.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58The problem with AC-12 is you can never admit when you're in
0:48:58 > 0:48:59the wrong.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02And I wonder what lengths AC-12 would go to
0:49:02 > 0:49:05to prove they're right, even when they're wrong?
0:49:09 > 0:49:12This is a video capture of a lawful recording
0:49:12 > 0:49:14of a police interview at Polk Avenue Police Station,
0:49:14 > 0:49:17showing Hana Reznikova being interviewed by
0:49:17 > 0:49:19'DS Flynn and DC Taylor.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24'The interview formed the starting point to our inquiry
0:49:24 > 0:49:25'into Hana Reznikova.
0:49:25 > 0:49:29'At all stages of the investigation, DS Flynn was an active participant.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32'In fact, she was instrumental in the charging of Hana Reznikova.'
0:49:32 > 0:49:36The validity of which you challenged earlier in this interview.
0:49:38 > 0:49:42This is a print of a digital photograph captured by
0:49:42 > 0:49:45DC Jodie Taylor on the 4th of April.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51'Who is the officer in the photograph?'
0:49:53 > 0:49:56For the DIR, Superintendent Hastings and DC Desford
0:49:56 > 0:49:58look extremely uneasy.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01According to DC Taylor, this detective,
0:50:01 > 0:50:07'DS Kate Flynn, made an inquiry at Polk Avenue Forensic Office,'
0:50:07 > 0:50:09regarding item reference KRG-13.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15This is a print of a digital photograph captured by
0:50:15 > 0:50:20DC Taylor on the 7th of April, showing DS Flynn
0:50:20 > 0:50:22'having an off the record conversation with
0:50:22 > 0:50:24'Forensic Investigator Kevin Gill.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29'Is DS Flynn an undercover AC-12 officer?
0:50:29 > 0:50:31'In respect of undercover operations,
0:50:31 > 0:50:34'I can neither confirm nor deny, as well you know.
0:50:34 > 0:50:35'What we do know,'
0:50:35 > 0:50:39Superintendent is if an undercover AC-12 officer is coaching witnesses
0:50:39 > 0:50:43against DCI Huntley, it would substantially undermine your case.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46My officers do not coach witnesses!
0:50:48 > 0:50:49So, she is your officer?
0:51:00 > 0:51:05We have Kevin Gill telling AC-12 one thing and my team another
0:51:05 > 0:51:08and here we have an undercover AC-12 officer talking to Gill.
0:51:12 > 0:51:14Let's go back to Gill's statement to me.
0:51:16 > 0:51:20He took a swab sample from the blood spatter in Timothy Ifield's flat.
0:51:20 > 0:51:23He sealed the sample in an evidence bag.
0:51:23 > 0:51:27He labelled the bag overwriting a slip of the pen, KRG-13.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30And despite all your theories,
0:51:30 > 0:51:34you have zero evidence KRG-13 was tampered with thereafter.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37If it was tampered with, who could have done it?
0:51:40 > 0:51:43Here we have DS Flynn raising a query about KRG-13 at the
0:51:43 > 0:51:46forensic office days before anyone else.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48And then, as if by magic, AC-12 request the sample,
0:51:48 > 0:51:51to carry out your own analysis.
0:51:52 > 0:51:56As soon as AC-12 seized that sample, the chain of evidence was broken.
0:51:57 > 0:52:01It raises the question who had access to it after you seized it.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04- AC-12 do not tamper with evidence!- No?
0:52:06 > 0:52:09A jury acquitted a female DI called Lindsay Denton of conspiracy
0:52:09 > 0:52:12to murder at retrial, because they were sure that one of your
0:52:12 > 0:52:15officers had engaged in an inappropriately intimate
0:52:15 > 0:52:17relationship, in order to plant evidence in her home.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19My officers do not plant evidence!
0:52:19 > 0:52:22You see the pattern here? Sexism,
0:52:22 > 0:52:25undercover operations, and questionable evidence.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27All right. This circus is over.
0:52:27 > 0:52:32Superintendent Hastings, did you authorise DS Flynn
0:52:32 > 0:52:35to engineer charges against Hana Reznikova?
0:52:35 > 0:52:37I did not.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40'Did you authorise DS Flynn to tamper with evidence in regard'
0:52:40 > 0:52:43to the investigation into the murder of Timothy Ifield from
0:52:43 > 0:52:45the 23rd of March to today's date?
0:52:45 > 0:52:47I did not.
0:52:47 > 0:52:50Did you induce Forensic Investigator Kevin Gill to alter his
0:52:50 > 0:52:53testimony, in regard to the handling of evidence item reference KRG-13?
0:52:53 > 0:52:55I did not.
0:52:55 > 0:52:56Superintendent Hastings,
0:52:56 > 0:53:00at this time, I'm unable to exclude you, DC Desford, DS Arnott
0:53:00 > 0:53:04and DS Flynn from a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice in
0:53:04 > 0:53:07the actions you've brought against me, which I believe are unfounded,
0:53:07 > 0:53:11vexatious and intended to obstruct my lawful inquiries
0:53:11 > 0:53:13into the murders of Baswinder Kaur,
0:53:13 > 0:53:17Leonie Collersdale and Timothy Ifield.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23This is a signed authority from
0:53:23 > 0:53:27Assistant Chief Constable Hilton, recusing AC-12 from your inquiry
0:53:27 > 0:53:30into me, my team and the above offences.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39DCI Huntley and DCI Moffatt are leaving the room.
0:53:43 > 0:53:45Switch that bloody thing off, James.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54Sorry, sir, I have to say. It's Jamie, not James.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57Frankly, son, right now, I couldn't give a shit.
0:53:58 > 0:54:02I never planted evidence. I never coached any witness and you know it.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04Hilton might have fallen for your crap, but no-one else will.
0:54:06 > 0:54:08How old are you, Kate?
0:54:08 > 0:54:1031.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13I'll tell you about my road to 31.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15I'd been a DI two years already.
0:54:15 > 0:54:19Then, I made life choices in the best interests of others.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21Not in my best interests, at all, as it turned out.
0:54:21 > 0:54:24And from what I know, you won't make that mistake.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26You'd give up anything to get to the top.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28But despite all your ambition,
0:54:28 > 0:54:31you find yourself on the wrong side of the line.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33What do you know?
0:54:33 > 0:54:37That you've got a son you barely see. Hardly holier than thou.
0:54:46 > 0:54:49You should have seen his face.
0:54:49 > 0:54:51He had no idea where I was getting the ammunition.
0:54:51 > 0:54:56Happy to help. AC-12 aren't fit for purpose.
0:54:56 > 0:54:58You could go so far as to say corrupt.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01It's high time someone shut them down.
0:55:01 > 0:55:03I let their case play out.
0:55:03 > 0:55:05I thought it was worth hearing everything they had,
0:55:05 > 0:55:07just in case there were any surprises.
0:55:07 > 0:55:08And were there?
0:55:08 > 0:55:10None I couldn't handle.
0:55:11 > 0:55:13My name didn't come up, at all?
0:55:13 > 0:55:18No, they've stopped accusing me of succumbing to executive pressure.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21This is the most agreeable solution.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23Tim Ifield's peccadilloes out of the public eye.
0:55:23 > 0:55:25Michael Farmer's crimes punished.
0:55:25 > 0:55:26You've done a great job, Roz.
0:55:26 > 0:55:28Thank you, sir, for backing me.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31What are friends for?
0:55:35 > 0:55:38Let's go up. Bring that with you.
0:55:38 > 0:55:40I'm sorry.
0:55:42 > 0:55:46I love my husband and I love my children.
0:55:49 > 0:55:51I won't betray their trust.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56It's a moral question.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59I'm sorry.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39Well done.
0:57:26 > 0:57:27Good news.
0:57:29 > 0:57:32No-one thinks you're a murderer any more.
