00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:03,693
Operation Lighthouse, re
the unsolved murder of Gail Vella
2
00:00:03,695 --> 00:00:05,695
on September 10th, 2019.
3
00:00:07,775 --> 00:00:10,735
The name we've been given
is Ross Turner.
4
00:00:12,095 --> 00:00:13,495
Enter the property.
5
00:00:16,535 --> 00:00:20,455
5-3, DP for custody
transfer, bringing suspect out now.
6
00:00:22,455 --> 00:00:26,213
Interview of Terry Boyle by
Detective Chief Inspector Davidson.
7
00:00:26,215 --> 00:00:28,775
Mr Boyle, did you shoot Gail Vella?
8
00:00:33,975 --> 00:00:35,213
Did anyone see that?
9
00:00:35,215 --> 00:00:37,735
Armed police! Drop your weapons!
Drop your weapons!
10
00:00:41,175 --> 00:00:43,693
A significant number of other
fingerprints
11
00:00:43,695 --> 00:00:46,453
match an individual identified by
the Police National Computer
12
00:00:46,455 --> 00:00:48,893
as Carl Banks.
13
00:00:48,895 --> 00:00:50,973
Carl Banks has an
extensive history of violence,
14
00:00:50,975 --> 00:00:52,415
including firearms offences.
15
00:00:55,255 --> 00:00:58,053
The person who made me see
that there was another way
16
00:00:58,055 --> 00:01:00,493
to be a useful member of society
was a police officer.
17
00:01:00,495 --> 00:01:02,935
He's the reason why I wanted
to become a police officer too.
18
00:01:04,495 --> 00:01:05,815
To help people.
19
00:01:07,335 --> 00:01:10,533
I can't share any details,
but we might be looking into Vella.
20
00:01:10,535 --> 00:01:12,493
Great, so either I'm accused of
being a traitor
21
00:01:12,495 --> 00:01:14,413
or I become one
to avoid being accused.
22
00:01:14,415 --> 00:01:15,733
We really can't be sure
23
00:01:15,735 --> 00:01:17,733
about the loyalty
of some of these people.
24
00:01:17,735 --> 00:01:19,415
They could banjax the whole thing.
25
00:01:22,535 --> 00:01:23,933
I sent a photo to the handler.
26
00:01:23,935 --> 00:01:25,973
He confirms it's the CHIS.
27
00:01:25,975 --> 00:01:28,173
You're not suggesting
Davidson was involved?
28
00:01:28,175 --> 00:01:30,455
You have no idea
what she's capable of.
29
00:01:32,815 --> 00:01:37,175
It's over. How come I've never met
your family? I don't have one.
30
00:01:39,095 --> 00:01:41,133
I've released him without charge.
31
00:01:41,135 --> 00:01:43,733
No way am I going after someone
like Terry Boyle
32
00:01:43,735 --> 00:01:45,015
because he's the easy way out.
33
00:01:45,935 --> 00:01:47,253
Is everything OK?
34
00:01:47,255 --> 00:01:49,855
I should, um... Yeah.
35
00:02:10,935 --> 00:02:12,213
Good morning.
36
00:02:12,215 --> 00:02:13,255
ALL: Sir.
37
00:02:15,175 --> 00:02:17,773
Thank you, as you were, as you were.
38
00:02:17,775 --> 00:02:22,933
I have authorised an official AC-12
inquiry into Operation Lighthouse.
39
00:02:22,935 --> 00:02:28,053
Gail Vella's murder is this force's
highest-profile investigation.
40
00:02:28,055 --> 00:02:29,533
It will be our job to detect
41
00:02:29,535 --> 00:02:32,373
whether police misconduct
and/or corruption
42
00:02:32,375 --> 00:02:35,535
has contributed to this murder
remaining unsolved.
43
00:02:36,855 --> 00:02:38,335
DS Arnott. Sir.
44
00:02:40,215 --> 00:02:44,813
SIO on Lighthouse is Detective
Chief Inspector Joanne Davidson.
45
00:02:44,815 --> 00:02:48,693
No MIT officers are aware AC-12
is scrutinising Lighthouse.
46
00:02:48,695 --> 00:02:51,253
All information we've harvested
so far has been acquired
47
00:02:51,255 --> 00:02:54,735
from a source on the Hill
known as Officer J.
48
00:03:00,535 --> 00:03:01,893
..to our inquiry.
49
00:03:01,895 --> 00:03:05,493
The CHIS's name
was Alastair Oldroyd, age 22.
50
00:03:05,495 --> 00:03:08,493
Oldroyd was in a pub on the night
of October 26th
51
00:03:08,495 --> 00:03:11,253
and the person calling himself
Ross Turner
52
00:03:11,255 --> 00:03:13,293
gave Oldroyd homophobic abuse.
53
00:03:13,295 --> 00:03:14,973
Turner intimidated Oldroyd
54
00:03:14,975 --> 00:03:18,815
by allegedly boasting of involvement
in Gail Vella's murder.
55
00:03:31,415 --> 00:03:33,815
Sorry, sir. Have you got a sec?
Come in.
56
00:03:34,815 --> 00:03:36,373
You don't need me to tell you
57
00:03:36,375 --> 00:03:39,493
we need a witness to this meeting
between Oldroyd and Turner
58
00:03:39,495 --> 00:03:41,773
to identify whether it was Boyle
or Banks.
59
00:03:41,775 --> 00:03:44,613
Unfortunately, the CHIS lied
about the name of the pub.
60
00:03:44,615 --> 00:03:47,373
Handler believes he was protecting
friends who trade drugs there.
61
00:03:47,375 --> 00:03:49,013
We're checking out establishments
62
00:03:49,015 --> 00:03:51,293
in the vicinity
of Beechwood House for CCTV,
63
00:03:51,295 --> 00:03:53,573
plus local authority cameras
in the area,
64
00:03:53,575 --> 00:03:56,453
just in the hope of identifying
Oldroyd, Banks or Boyle
65
00:03:56,455 --> 00:03:57,813
on the night of the 26th.
66
00:03:57,815 --> 00:04:01,495
Cheers, Chris. Crack on. Boss.
Thanks. Ma'am.
67
00:04:03,615 --> 00:04:05,373
Boss, obviously we've got
to consider
68
00:04:05,375 --> 00:04:07,533
whether Oldroyd's death
was suicide or murder.
69
00:04:07,535 --> 00:04:08,973
Hence we're investigating it.
70
00:04:08,975 --> 00:04:11,453
Yeah, I'm not saying anything
you don't already know, boss,
71
00:04:11,455 --> 00:04:13,493
but if it was murder,
then it raises the question
72
00:04:13,495 --> 00:04:16,135
that someone knew Oldroyd
had info on Gail Vella's death.
73
00:04:17,175 --> 00:04:20,333
I know. I hate to say it, Kate,
74
00:04:20,335 --> 00:04:22,533
but one thing I've learned
over the years -
75
00:04:22,535 --> 00:04:24,615
the fewer coppers in the loop,
the better.
76
00:04:43,775 --> 00:04:45,495
KNOCK AT WINDOW
77
00:04:51,095 --> 00:04:52,533
What's going on with Farida Jatri?
78
00:04:52,535 --> 00:04:54,333
I was about to ask the same, sir.
79
00:04:54,335 --> 00:04:56,573
She's just handed in
a transfer request.
80
00:04:56,575 --> 00:04:58,533
Personal reasons.
81
00:04:58,535 --> 00:05:00,093
She's an experienced PS.
82
00:05:00,095 --> 00:05:02,535
We're at a crucial phase of Vella.
83
00:05:05,095 --> 00:05:10,173
In confidence, sir, I've noticed
some issues with PS Jatri.
84
00:05:10,175 --> 00:05:12,453
What kind of issues?
85
00:05:12,455 --> 00:05:15,653
I don't want to say anything
that might come back to haunt us.
86
00:05:15,655 --> 00:05:17,693
Last thing you need is a tribunal.
87
00:05:17,695 --> 00:05:19,175
What?
88
00:05:20,415 --> 00:05:21,813
I'll draft a glowing reference,
89
00:05:21,815 --> 00:05:24,295
and she'll be some
other station's problem.
90
00:05:26,055 --> 00:05:27,455
You're a life-saver.
91
00:05:28,695 --> 00:05:29,855
Yeah.
92
00:05:40,295 --> 00:05:42,573
Sir. What have you got?
Sir, the team have managed
93
00:05:42,575 --> 00:05:45,053
to pull some Gail Vella reports
from our archive.
94
00:05:45,055 --> 00:05:47,775
Obviously, they all relate to
cases involving AC-12.
95
00:05:48,935 --> 00:05:51,013
REPORTERS: Chief Inspector Osbourne!
96
00:05:51,015 --> 00:05:53,613
Chief Inspector Osbourne!
97
00:05:53,615 --> 00:05:56,333
I take pride
in the courage and professionalism
98
00:05:56,335 --> 00:05:59,653
of my counterterrorism officers.
To say any more
99
00:05:59,655 --> 00:06:02,053
risks prejudicing the inquest.
Thank you.
100
00:06:02,055 --> 00:06:04,213
Chief Inspector!
101
00:06:04,215 --> 00:06:06,053
Official police statements record
102
00:06:06,055 --> 00:06:08,613
counter-terrorism officers
shouted, "Armed police"
103
00:06:08,615 --> 00:06:10,613
and ordered Mr Ali to surrender.
104
00:06:10,615 --> 00:06:14,413
Mr Ali's widow, Aaliyah, insists
there was no warning,
105
00:06:14,415 --> 00:06:15,893
no chance to surrender
106
00:06:15,895 --> 00:06:18,693
before her husband was gunned down
by a hail of bullets.
107
00:06:18,695 --> 00:06:20,453
They lied through their teeth,
108
00:06:20,455 --> 00:06:23,173
every single one of them,
except you, Steve.
109
00:06:23,175 --> 00:06:25,053
I mean, talk about an outrage.
110
00:06:25,055 --> 00:06:26,933
A commanding officer made chief.
111
00:06:26,935 --> 00:06:30,373
If that had happened on my patch...
Jesus.
112
00:06:30,375 --> 00:06:31,893
Next one, Chloe.
113
00:06:31,895 --> 00:06:34,055
NEW VIDEO PLAYS
114
00:06:37,615 --> 00:06:39,815
PROTESTERS SHOUT
115
00:06:43,775 --> 00:06:47,293
A jury found retired Chief
Superintendent Patrick Fairbank
116
00:06:47,295 --> 00:06:49,653
guilty of all charges.
117
00:06:49,655 --> 00:06:53,173
What that jury didn't hear, and
only now am I allowed to report,
118
00:06:53,175 --> 00:06:56,973
are allegations Patrick Fairbank
suppressed police investigations
119
00:06:56,975 --> 00:06:58,613
into child sexual exploitation
120
00:06:58,615 --> 00:07:00,693
that transcended
local political figures
121
00:07:00,695 --> 00:07:02,973
such as Councillor Dale Roach.
122
00:07:02,975 --> 00:07:04,893
It's now a matter of public record
123
00:07:04,895 --> 00:07:07,493
that Jimmy Savile cultivated
relationships
124
00:07:07,495 --> 00:07:09,253
with senior police officers.
125
00:07:09,255 --> 00:07:11,293
Savile exploited those relationships
126
00:07:11,295 --> 00:07:15,333
to intimidate anyone attempting
to investigate his offending.
127
00:07:15,335 --> 00:07:17,133
We now realise what Savile was
getting
128
00:07:17,135 --> 00:07:20,653
out of those relationships
with senior police officers.
129
00:07:20,655 --> 00:07:23,493
What remains unknown
and uninvestigated
130
00:07:23,495 --> 00:07:24,973
is what those officers were getting
131
00:07:24,975 --> 00:07:27,453
out of their relationship
with Savile.
132
00:07:27,455 --> 00:07:30,013
Gail Vella, reporting
from Queen Elizabeth Law Courts.
133
00:07:30,015 --> 00:07:32,533
So Gail Vella drew attention
to alleged links
134
00:07:32,535 --> 00:07:36,093
between organised crime, politicians
and senior police officers.
135
00:07:36,095 --> 00:07:38,895
And these are just the reports
we found in our own archive.
136
00:07:40,895 --> 00:07:43,255
Wee girl killed in cold blood...
137
00:07:45,055 --> 00:07:46,615
..and her killer free as a bird.
138
00:07:49,815 --> 00:07:51,575
Thank you, Chloe. Sir.
139
00:07:55,135 --> 00:07:57,015
Cheers, Chloe. Sarge.
140
00:08:02,095 --> 00:08:03,613
Gaffer, it can't be a coincidence
141
00:08:03,615 --> 00:08:06,373
Carl Banks was a violent offender
involved with organised crime.
142
00:08:06,375 --> 00:08:08,053
Yeah, but if your man pulled
the trigger,
143
00:08:08,055 --> 00:08:09,893
that means he's a gun for hire.
144
00:08:09,895 --> 00:08:11,813
That order came from higher up.
145
00:08:11,815 --> 00:08:13,853
But the question still remains,
146
00:08:13,855 --> 00:08:16,053
what is the motive
for Gail Vella's murder?
147
00:08:16,055 --> 00:08:19,053
All right, she's a controversial
journalist. I'll give you that.
148
00:08:19,055 --> 00:08:21,773
But there's no evidence to suggest
that she dug up anything
149
00:08:21,775 --> 00:08:23,293
that wasn't there before.
150
00:08:23,295 --> 00:08:25,535
Maybe she was working on something
that would.
151
00:08:28,895 --> 00:08:31,015
PHONE RINGS
152
00:08:32,215 --> 00:08:34,135
Superintendent Hastings.
153
00:08:39,295 --> 00:08:40,575
Thanks, Steve. Thanks.
154
00:08:41,895 --> 00:08:43,133
Sir.
155
00:08:43,135 --> 00:08:45,255
Yeah, I'll be right down.
156
00:09:00,895 --> 00:09:02,293
Steph, what are you doing here?
157
00:09:02,295 --> 00:09:04,253
You promised you'd call me back.
It's HMRC.
158
00:09:04,255 --> 00:09:07,415
WHISPERS: Not here, not here,
let's go somewhere private.
159
00:09:42,855 --> 00:09:45,333
Tea, coffee?
No, we're fine. Thanks, though.
160
00:09:45,335 --> 00:09:47,813
Cool. So, have a seat.
161
00:09:47,815 --> 00:09:50,493
Cheers. How can I help you?
162
00:09:50,495 --> 00:09:54,093
I would like to ask you some
questions about Gail Vella.
163
00:09:54,095 --> 00:09:56,893
You were working with her closely
at the time of her death.
164
00:09:56,895 --> 00:09:58,933
Detectives interviewed me a few
days after.
165
00:09:58,935 --> 00:10:02,573
Our department
is conducting further inquiries.
166
00:10:02,575 --> 00:10:05,693
Yeah, I was her producer for a
couple of years.
167
00:10:05,695 --> 00:10:09,013
Well, one line of inquiry is
she fell victim to an obsessed fan.
168
00:10:09,015 --> 00:10:12,013
Do you recall any individuals
that gave Gail cause for concern?
169
00:10:12,015 --> 00:10:13,933
Female journalists get the worst
of it,
170
00:10:13,935 --> 00:10:16,373
from accusations of bias
to threats of sexual violence.
171
00:10:16,375 --> 00:10:19,333
Everything was reported at the time
to our security or to the police.
172
00:10:19,335 --> 00:10:22,493
You say Miss Vella received threats
as a result of her reporting.
173
00:10:22,495 --> 00:10:24,775
Were there any particularly
controversial reports?
174
00:10:27,135 --> 00:10:28,855
Maybe I should just show you.
175
00:10:29,975 --> 00:10:32,573
The Deputy Chief Constable
and I are pleased to report
176
00:10:32,575 --> 00:10:35,933
that Operation Pear Tree has
completed a thorough investigation
177
00:10:35,935 --> 00:10:37,933
into institutionalised complicity
178
00:10:37,935 --> 00:10:41,173
between organised criminals
and corrupt police officers.
179
00:10:41,175 --> 00:10:43,893
Its robust findings
couldn't be clearer.
180
00:10:43,895 --> 00:10:48,053
There is no institutionalised
corruption in this police force.
181
00:10:48,055 --> 00:10:51,333
Operation Pear Tree,
the inquiry described
182
00:10:51,335 --> 00:10:55,733
as the most thorough ever undertaken
into police corruption,
183
00:10:55,735 --> 00:10:57,133
is now officially closed.
184
00:10:57,135 --> 00:11:00,373
Some will wonder why this news
is being announced
185
00:11:00,375 --> 00:11:02,093
over a holiday weekend.
186
00:11:02,095 --> 00:11:04,933
Cynics might conclude the
Police and Crime Commissioner
187
00:11:04,935 --> 00:11:08,693
would prefer his statement
isn't examined too closely.
188
00:11:08,695 --> 00:11:11,533
Perhaps Mr Sindwhani has learned
the secret to high office
189
00:11:11,535 --> 00:11:14,813
appears no longer to reside in
revealing the deepest truths,
190
00:11:14,815 --> 00:11:17,653
but in telling
the most attractive lies.
191
00:11:17,655 --> 00:11:18,853
Gail Vella reporting...
192
00:11:18,855 --> 00:11:21,533
I had to cut that from
the broadcast version.
193
00:11:21,535 --> 00:11:24,653
This is unbroadcast material?
It would never have been released?
194
00:11:24,655 --> 00:11:26,493
Not in this form, no.
195
00:11:26,495 --> 00:11:29,813
She'd seen the success of a podcast
about police corruption
196
00:11:29,815 --> 00:11:32,413
surrounding the murder of a private
detective, Daniel Morgan.
197
00:11:32,415 --> 00:11:34,013
The material Gail couldn't get on
air,
198
00:11:34,015 --> 00:11:36,693
she was funnelling
into a podcast serial of her own.
199
00:11:36,695 --> 00:11:38,333
Where can we access this podcast?
200
00:11:38,335 --> 00:11:40,973
It never got that far.
Gail must not have finished it.
201
00:11:40,975 --> 00:11:43,453
Do you know anything about
the content of this podcast?
202
00:11:43,455 --> 00:11:44,493
I know she was pursuing
203
00:11:44,495 --> 00:11:46,573
several senior police officers for
interview.
204
00:11:46,575 --> 00:11:48,013
She was digging much more deeply
205
00:11:48,015 --> 00:11:50,453
into why there'd been suppression
of police inquiries
206
00:11:50,455 --> 00:11:52,333
into the likes of
Councillor Dale Roach.
207
00:11:52,335 --> 00:11:55,613
Did she keep notes or recordings?
Yeah. What journalist wouldn't?
208
00:11:55,615 --> 00:11:58,255
That's why I suggested Gail's
killer must have stolen them.
209
00:11:59,615 --> 00:12:02,973
Sorry, you disclosed this
to the original murder detectives?
210
00:12:02,975 --> 00:12:05,375
And they said there was no
grounds to suspect a burglary.
211
00:12:09,175 --> 00:12:10,373
This is the first we've heard
212
00:12:10,375 --> 00:12:12,533
of burglary being a factor
in Gail Vella's murder.
213
00:12:12,535 --> 00:12:14,853
Nor was there evidence of a
disturbance inside the property.
214
00:12:14,855 --> 00:12:15,973
The killer stole something.
215
00:12:15,975 --> 00:12:18,253
He knew exactly what he was looking
for and where to find it.
216
00:12:18,255 --> 00:12:20,573
And I'm assuming the original
investigation
217
00:12:20,575 --> 00:12:22,973
seized all of Gail Vella's
electronic devices. Yes, sir.
218
00:12:22,975 --> 00:12:25,413
They were after messages
or threats from an obsessed fan.
219
00:12:25,415 --> 00:12:27,653
Yes, but they weren't looking
at her journalism.
220
00:12:27,655 --> 00:12:29,053
If your theory is right, Steve,
221
00:12:29,055 --> 00:12:31,213
these files could point a finger
at someone
222
00:12:31,215 --> 00:12:33,493
who may have had a motive
to order her murder.
223
00:12:33,495 --> 00:12:36,133
I think those devices
need to be reanalysed.
224
00:12:36,135 --> 00:12:39,173
We'll have to find a way to do that
without alerting Davidson.
225
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,613
Right...
226
00:12:40,615 --> 00:12:41,855
Thank you, Chloe.
227
00:12:43,335 --> 00:12:44,375
Sir.
228
00:12:53,215 --> 00:12:55,253
You're worried about what might
happen to Kate
229
00:12:55,255 --> 00:12:57,333
when Davidson finds
out we're investigating her?
230
00:12:57,335 --> 00:13:00,295
Yes, sir. I get it, son,
I really do. I get it, but...
231
00:13:01,495 --> 00:13:03,453
..Kate has made her bed.
232
00:13:03,455 --> 00:13:07,573
Now she's got to lie in it,
and we have a job to do.
233
00:13:07,575 --> 00:13:08,613
Sir.
234
00:13:08,615 --> 00:13:10,455
Wait, Steve.
235
00:13:15,455 --> 00:13:18,973
I've been giving the situation some
thought,
236
00:13:18,975 --> 00:13:21,213
and loyalty works both ways.
237
00:13:21,215 --> 00:13:23,253
I'm going to have to confirm
it with HR,
238
00:13:23,255 --> 00:13:28,535
but ahead of the formal promotion
process, I am making you a temp DI.
239
00:13:30,855 --> 00:13:34,093
Congratulations, son,
you've earned it.
240
00:13:34,095 --> 00:13:35,935
Thank you, sir.
241
00:14:16,735 --> 00:14:17,975
All right?
242
00:14:19,135 --> 00:14:20,455
All right.
243
00:14:21,735 --> 00:14:23,213
Just like old times.
244
00:14:23,215 --> 00:14:25,373
Yeah.
245
00:14:25,375 --> 00:14:27,813
We're moving forward with Vella.
246
00:14:27,815 --> 00:14:29,613
Moving forward how?
247
00:14:29,615 --> 00:14:31,613
At some point, we're going to hit
the Hill.
248
00:14:31,615 --> 00:14:33,253
Shit. For Christ's sake, Steve...
249
00:14:33,255 --> 00:14:34,653
This is why I got you here.
250
00:14:34,655 --> 00:14:37,133
I can't leave a digital trail,
but I wanted you to know.
251
00:14:37,135 --> 00:14:38,813
Well, why are you involving me?
252
00:14:38,815 --> 00:14:40,773
We've got some leads, but...
253
00:14:40,775 --> 00:14:44,093
Look, Kate, if you can feed me the
inside track on Davidson,
254
00:14:44,095 --> 00:14:46,253
maybe we won't need to show our hand
just yet.
255
00:14:46,255 --> 00:14:48,973
For Christ's sake, Steve, she's my
gaffer. You want me to rat on her?
256
00:14:48,975 --> 00:14:50,213
You're no rat if she's bent.
257
00:14:50,215 --> 00:14:52,373
What am I, then? An honest copper.
258
00:14:52,375 --> 00:14:54,813
Yeah, I'm sure everyone will
see it like that.
259
00:14:54,815 --> 00:14:56,493
Look, Kate, it goes beyond Davidson.
260
00:14:56,495 --> 00:14:58,693
If organised crime ordered
the murder of Gail Vella,
261
00:14:58,695 --> 00:15:01,053
they're protecting Carl Banks
and framing Terry Boyle.
262
00:15:01,055 --> 00:15:03,773
Yeah, we get it.
We're working on it.
263
00:15:03,775 --> 00:15:05,213
Look, I just need to know when.
264
00:15:05,215 --> 00:15:08,933
When is it going to come out that
AC-12 are investigating Davidson?
265
00:15:08,935 --> 00:15:11,173
I've already said too much.
266
00:15:11,175 --> 00:15:12,335
Yeah, likewise.
267
00:15:16,095 --> 00:15:18,575
You always choose
a right shithole.
268
00:15:39,215 --> 00:15:41,973
All right, Chris? Pathologist's
in there now, boss.
269
00:15:41,975 --> 00:15:43,653
Knife wound to the throat.
270
00:15:43,655 --> 00:15:47,293
Looks like the body's been here for
a few days. Witnesses?
271
00:15:47,295 --> 00:15:51,293
It's a long-derelict site with no
security presence and no CCTV.
272
00:15:51,295 --> 00:15:53,853
Highly unlikely we'll harvest
any surveillance images.
273
00:15:53,855 --> 00:15:54,935
Any ID yet?
274
00:15:55,975 --> 00:15:58,775
Matches the appearance
of Carl Banks.
275
00:16:04,375 --> 00:16:05,413
Shit.
276
00:16:05,415 --> 00:16:06,973
Good news, ma'am.
277
00:16:06,975 --> 00:16:08,535
The search team's found a knife.
278
00:16:10,415 --> 00:16:12,813
No apparent blood deposits
on the ground,
279
00:16:12,815 --> 00:16:14,213
but best test for them anyway.
280
00:16:14,215 --> 00:16:17,295
The killer didn't put much effort
into evidence disposal.
281
00:16:20,215 --> 00:16:24,733
DI Fleming, Farida's replacement,
PC Ryan... Pilkington, ma'am.
282
00:16:24,735 --> 00:16:26,373
Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
283
00:16:26,375 --> 00:16:29,573
Don't knock it, Kate.
We're overdue a lucky break.
284
00:16:29,575 --> 00:16:30,735
Thanks, Ryan. Ma'am.
285
00:16:40,495 --> 00:16:43,853
Fingerprints are only a 90% match
due to early decomposition,
286
00:16:43,855 --> 00:16:46,333
but DNA's confirmed the body
is definitely Carl Banks.
287
00:16:46,335 --> 00:16:48,973
Sorry, ma'am, you asked to receive
the forensic report
288
00:16:48,975 --> 00:16:51,253
as soon as it was in.
Thanks, Ryan.
289
00:16:51,255 --> 00:16:54,253
You couldn't do us a cuppa,
could you? I'm gasping.
290
00:16:54,255 --> 00:16:57,013
Yeah, no problem at all, ma'am.
DI Fleming, DS Lomax? I'm fine, ta.
291
00:16:57,015 --> 00:16:59,613
Me too. But...this has been
bugging me.
292
00:16:59,615 --> 00:17:01,693
Have we worked together before?
293
00:17:01,695 --> 00:17:04,493
Did you come and give a talk
at the training college, ma'am?
294
00:17:04,495 --> 00:17:06,493
No.
295
00:17:06,495 --> 00:17:08,695
Thanks, Ryan. Ma'am.
296
00:17:11,015 --> 00:17:12,813
For Christ's sake. Boss?
297
00:17:12,815 --> 00:17:16,573
Fingerprints on the knife found
close to Carl Banks's body
298
00:17:16,575 --> 00:17:18,895
match Alastair Oldroyd, the CHIS.
299
00:17:20,135 --> 00:17:22,853
The pathologist confirmed Banks
died a couple of days earlier.
300
00:17:22,855 --> 00:17:25,135
The timeline works for Oldroyd
to have killed Banks.
301
00:17:26,535 --> 00:17:29,255
Sarge? I mean, sir?
302
00:17:36,455 --> 00:17:37,935
Shit. Sir.
303
00:17:39,335 --> 00:17:41,973
What have you got? Sir,
it's just come up on the Box.
304
00:17:41,975 --> 00:17:44,213
Carl Banks has been found dead.
305
00:17:44,215 --> 00:17:45,933
No more beating about the bush.
306
00:17:45,935 --> 00:17:47,973
We raid Operation Lighthouse. Sir.
307
00:17:47,975 --> 00:17:50,815
I'll put together a team
and transport.
308
00:17:59,775 --> 00:18:00,813
AC-12, DI Arnott.
309
00:18:00,815 --> 00:18:03,695
It's your lawful duty to comply
with my officers. Sir.
310
00:18:33,375 --> 00:18:34,533
DI Arnott, AC-12.
311
00:18:34,535 --> 00:18:38,773
We have the lawful authority to
investigate Operation Lighthouse.
312
00:18:38,775 --> 00:18:40,573
All officers, go to your desks.
313
00:18:40,575 --> 00:18:42,933
You'll each be questioned by an
AC-12 caseworker.
314
00:18:42,935 --> 00:18:44,013
You'll each be obliged
315
00:18:44,015 --> 00:18:47,133
to surrender all materials relating
to Operation Lighthouse
316
00:18:47,135 --> 00:18:48,773
to said caseworkers.
317
00:18:48,775 --> 00:18:51,973
Failure to comply will be a breach
of your duties and responsibilities
318
00:18:51,975 --> 00:18:53,733
under police conduct regulations
319
00:18:53,735 --> 00:18:57,973
and may lead to a misconduct charge
under said regulations. Nobody move.
320
00:18:57,975 --> 00:19:00,293
What the hell's all this about?
On whose authority?
321
00:19:00,295 --> 00:19:02,933
We have a signed authority
from Deputy Chief Constable Wise
322
00:19:02,935 --> 00:19:06,813
to seize all MIT files relating
to the murder of Gail Vella.
323
00:19:06,815 --> 00:19:08,573
Let me see that. Sir, as you know,
324
00:19:08,575 --> 00:19:12,173
wilful obstruction of my officers
executing their lawful duty
325
00:19:12,175 --> 00:19:13,493
is a criminal offence.
326
00:19:13,495 --> 00:19:17,253
DCI Davidson. I notified the DCC
of my concerns
327
00:19:17,255 --> 00:19:20,773
regarding leaking
of confidential police information
328
00:19:20,775 --> 00:19:22,973
such as the operation to arrest
Ross Turner
329
00:19:22,975 --> 00:19:26,853
and the identity of the CHIS who
gave us Turner's name and address.
330
00:19:26,855 --> 00:19:29,013
The DCC agreed to a moratorium
331
00:19:29,015 --> 00:19:32,173
on further distribution
of Operation Lighthouse files
332
00:19:32,175 --> 00:19:35,653
until said information leakage
has been fully investigated.
333
00:19:35,655 --> 00:19:37,253
We'd be the ones to investigate it.
334
00:19:37,255 --> 00:19:39,973
Nonetheless, you'll see the DCC's
authorised me
335
00:19:39,975 --> 00:19:42,133
to withhold
Operation Lighthouse files.
336
00:19:42,135 --> 00:19:44,013
Why didn't the DCC inform
us about this?
337
00:19:44,015 --> 00:19:46,893
To prevent information leakage,
naturally.
338
00:19:46,895 --> 00:19:49,733
No, you did it to make mugs
of AC-12.
339
00:19:49,735 --> 00:19:51,853
That was just an added bonus.
340
00:19:51,855 --> 00:19:53,495
STIFLED LAUGHTER
341
00:19:56,415 --> 00:19:57,535
Priceless!
342
00:19:58,855 --> 00:20:01,095
Let's go. Right, everyone,
let's go.
343
00:20:12,615 --> 00:20:14,495
Cheers, Kate. Nice one.
344
00:20:28,175 --> 00:20:30,093
How did Davidson know?
345
00:20:30,095 --> 00:20:31,335
Give me a minute.
346
00:20:40,935 --> 00:20:42,375
PHONE RINGS
347
00:20:44,695 --> 00:20:46,373
Steve, I'm sorry.
348
00:20:46,375 --> 00:20:47,973
I trusted you, mate.
349
00:20:47,975 --> 00:20:50,493
Look, I'm damned if I do,
I'm damned if I don't.
350
00:20:50,495 --> 00:20:51,975
What was I supposed to do?
351
00:21:08,015 --> 00:21:11,053
Andrea advised me this is
about Operation Lighthouse.
352
00:21:11,055 --> 00:21:12,773
I need to be in the loop.
353
00:21:12,775 --> 00:21:16,453
Well, I am here because AC-12's
lawful investigation
354
00:21:16,455 --> 00:21:19,013
has been unjustly obstructed.
355
00:21:19,015 --> 00:21:21,493
Operation Lighthouse
has had its setbacks, of course,
356
00:21:21,495 --> 00:21:24,293
but your involvement needs to be
correctly handled
357
00:21:24,295 --> 00:21:26,613
so the public
don't leap to the wrong conclusion.
358
00:21:26,615 --> 00:21:30,213
I briefed Andrea
on the required optics.
359
00:21:30,215 --> 00:21:33,815
This isn't an inquiry
into misconduct/corruption.
360
00:21:35,055 --> 00:21:38,453
Well, the investigation
usually precedes the findings.
361
00:21:38,455 --> 00:21:40,413
Clearly, we're all frustrated
362
00:21:40,415 --> 00:21:44,293
Gail Vella's murderer hasn't
been brought to justice yet,
363
00:21:44,295 --> 00:21:47,373
so it makes sense to pitch AC-12's
involvement
364
00:21:47,375 --> 00:21:49,615
as a routine performance review.
365
00:21:51,615 --> 00:21:53,053
Officers of your rank
366
00:21:53,055 --> 00:21:56,373
normally appreciate politics
as much as policing.
367
00:21:56,375 --> 00:21:57,655
Yes.
368
00:21:58,575 --> 00:22:01,813
I'm interested in one thing
and one thing only,
369
00:22:01,815 --> 00:22:03,615
and that's bent coppers.
370
00:22:04,935 --> 00:22:06,853
I hope you'll cooperate,
Superintendent.
371
00:22:06,855 --> 00:22:09,733
Now, apologies -
if you'll excuse me,
372
00:22:09,735 --> 00:22:12,855
I'm due to attend
the Crime Executive. Sir.
373
00:22:16,055 --> 00:22:18,973
Unless there are any outstanding
issues, Ted,
374
00:22:18,975 --> 00:22:21,133
I'm prepared to reissue
the authority
375
00:22:21,135 --> 00:22:24,415
for AC-12 to proceed with your
review of Operation Lighthouse.
376
00:22:25,655 --> 00:22:27,733
It appears my team have been delayed
377
00:22:27,735 --> 00:22:31,613
for nothing better than a PR
briefing, the result of which
378
00:22:31,615 --> 00:22:34,853
is that MIT officers are now aware
of our inquiry
379
00:22:34,855 --> 00:22:37,773
and may be concealing
evidence as we speak.
380
00:22:37,775 --> 00:22:39,653
No-one's concealing evidence, Ted.
381
00:22:39,655 --> 00:22:43,293
They're working their bollocks off
trying to find Gail Vella's killer.
382
00:22:43,295 --> 00:22:45,055
Ma'am.
383
00:22:51,575 --> 00:22:56,253
How'd it go, sir?
Well, we're back in business.
384
00:22:56,255 --> 00:22:57,773
Thank you, sir.
385
00:22:57,775 --> 00:23:01,133
So you make the mess
and I tidy it up,
386
00:23:01,135 --> 00:23:02,575
is that how this goes?
387
00:23:04,055 --> 00:23:05,573
Well, you're not denying it,
388
00:23:05,575 --> 00:23:07,933
so it must have been Officer J
or DI Kate Fleming
389
00:23:07,935 --> 00:23:09,173
who blew the gaff.
390
00:23:09,175 --> 00:23:13,013
I reckon you'd only trust Kate with
this kind of information, yeah?
391
00:23:13,015 --> 00:23:14,733
Well, she's cooked her goose now.
392
00:23:14,735 --> 00:23:17,013
God help her
if she thinks she's going to get
393
00:23:17,015 --> 00:23:19,133
some kind of special treatment from
me,
394
00:23:19,135 --> 00:23:22,413
because she's got another thing
coming. As for DCI Davidson,
395
00:23:22,415 --> 00:23:25,013
she must have had great fun
pulling this stroke,
396
00:23:25,015 --> 00:23:28,133
but she will be laughing
on the other side of her face
397
00:23:28,135 --> 00:23:30,413
when I'm finished with her.
398
00:23:30,415 --> 00:23:32,333
Serve her with a Reg 15.
399
00:23:32,335 --> 00:23:33,535
Sir. Carry on.
400
00:24:15,855 --> 00:24:16,893
DC Bishop, AC-12.
401
00:24:16,895 --> 00:24:19,373
I'm sure you can all guess
what this is about.
402
00:24:19,375 --> 00:24:21,053
I need access to your computer.
403
00:24:21,055 --> 00:24:22,455
Could you stand up, please?
404
00:24:24,415 --> 00:24:26,375
Show me your files, please.
405
00:24:29,935 --> 00:24:31,493
Can I have your password, please?
406
00:24:31,495 --> 00:24:33,735
I need your login details.
407
00:24:37,375 --> 00:24:38,773
What is this document here?
408
00:24:38,775 --> 00:24:40,215
Here you go, sir.
409
00:24:45,175 --> 00:24:48,253
Ma'am, please find enclosed
a Regulation 15 notice
410
00:24:48,255 --> 00:24:50,853
requiring you to attend AC-12
for a formal interview
411
00:24:50,855 --> 00:24:52,935
within the next ten working days.
412
00:24:54,215 --> 00:24:56,093
A copy of this letter has been sent
413
00:24:56,095 --> 00:24:58,095
to your Police Federation
representative.
414
00:25:36,495 --> 00:25:38,495
DOORBELL RINGS
415
00:25:43,735 --> 00:25:45,495
Steve. I was up on a case.
416
00:25:46,815 --> 00:25:50,295
I'm sorry, Steph, I should have
called. No, no, it's fine. Come in.
417
00:25:56,815 --> 00:25:59,175
Tea, isn't it? Yeah, ta.
418
00:26:01,375 --> 00:26:03,453
How are the girls?
419
00:26:03,455 --> 00:26:05,415
Gemma still doesn't get it,
not really.
420
00:26:06,855 --> 00:26:09,053
I'm dreading her not
remembering her daddy.
421
00:26:09,055 --> 00:26:11,215
Well, these will help.
John won't be forgotten.
422
00:26:12,935 --> 00:26:15,533
Thanks for all you did at the time.
423
00:26:15,535 --> 00:26:16,935
You didn't have to.
424
00:26:18,655 --> 00:26:21,093
I'd like to think he'd have done
the same for me.
425
00:26:21,095 --> 00:26:23,135
He died in the line of duty.
426
00:26:24,855 --> 00:26:27,055
Shame the big bosses never saw
it that way.
427
00:26:28,175 --> 00:26:32,015
Sorry, I ought to know - milk
and sugar? Just milk, please.
428
00:26:41,335 --> 00:26:43,253
It's good you were able
to keep the house.
429
00:26:43,255 --> 00:26:46,333
I know you were worried.
Tearing my hair out, more like.
430
00:26:46,335 --> 00:26:49,455
Fortunately,
there was John's life insurance.
431
00:26:51,615 --> 00:26:52,853
Nice TV.
432
00:26:52,855 --> 00:26:56,013
Champions League game's on later.
433
00:26:56,015 --> 00:26:59,173
Not that you lot have got
an interest. Next season.
434
00:26:59,175 --> 00:27:01,733
I didn't know you'd bother
with the sports channels.
435
00:27:01,735 --> 00:27:04,335
It all comes in the package.
Cheap as chips.
436
00:27:05,815 --> 00:27:07,415
Sorry, what am I like? Sit down.
437
00:27:11,935 --> 00:27:13,375
Steve?
438
00:27:16,335 --> 00:27:18,653
It's just a spasm. It'll pass.
439
00:27:18,655 --> 00:27:19,695
You sure?
440
00:27:23,335 --> 00:27:25,413
I've got some painkillers
in the car. I'll just...
441
00:27:25,415 --> 00:27:28,815
Don't move, I'll get them. I'll get
your car keys. Inside pocket.
442
00:27:46,175 --> 00:27:47,815
HE GROANS
443
00:28:14,775 --> 00:28:18,133
I can't believe the DCC
caved so easily.
444
00:28:18,135 --> 00:28:19,695
Sorry, boss.
445
00:28:21,375 --> 00:28:22,893
Not your fault at all.
446
00:28:22,895 --> 00:28:24,693
Thanks for the heads-up.
447
00:28:24,695 --> 00:28:27,735
I know the kind of cases
that AC-12 are into, boss.
448
00:28:29,575 --> 00:28:31,455
Out of work, forget "Boss".
449
00:28:36,495 --> 00:28:37,815
You all right?
450
00:28:40,775 --> 00:28:42,015
This Reg 15...
451
00:28:43,935 --> 00:28:46,973
Yeah, I know how it must feel,
452
00:28:46,975 --> 00:28:49,495
but it's just the way AC-12 operate.
453
00:28:52,255 --> 00:28:54,973
The truth is, it's all getting
a bit tense.
454
00:28:54,975 --> 00:28:56,413
How does it make me look,
455
00:28:56,415 --> 00:29:00,533
investigating a guy with learning
difficulties?
456
00:29:00,535 --> 00:29:01,933
Straight up, Jo,
457
00:29:01,935 --> 00:29:04,135
do you think
he could have killed Gail?
458
00:29:06,455 --> 00:29:08,733
You've been doing this job
long enough to realise
459
00:29:08,735 --> 00:29:10,453
we can never know for sure.
460
00:29:10,455 --> 00:29:14,255
We just gather the evidence,
do our best.
461
00:29:16,135 --> 00:29:19,535
Right now, my best
is nowhere near good enough.
462
00:29:20,975 --> 00:29:25,295
A young woman, could have been you
or me, Kate, her life cut short.
463
00:29:28,215 --> 00:29:30,013
And whoever did it's
got away with it,
464
00:29:30,015 --> 00:29:31,495
and that's my fault.
465
00:29:34,015 --> 00:29:35,093
Do you fancy another?
466
00:29:35,095 --> 00:29:38,053
Ladies? Two more, please.
467
00:29:38,055 --> 00:29:39,975
Can we get those?
468
00:29:48,815 --> 00:29:50,853
Have a good night, guys.
469
00:29:50,855 --> 00:29:52,415
Two more, please.
470
00:29:56,375 --> 00:29:57,893
I'm sorry, Kate.
471
00:29:57,895 --> 00:30:01,093
My self-pity's blown your chances.
472
00:30:01,095 --> 00:30:02,495
Nah, not really my type.
473
00:30:11,495 --> 00:30:12,893
You sure you're OK to drive?
474
00:30:12,895 --> 00:30:15,733
Yeah, sorry about all that earlier.
I'm fine.
475
00:30:15,735 --> 00:30:17,813
The last thing I meant was to put
you out.
476
00:30:17,815 --> 00:30:20,655
Get away, it's just nice to have
some grown-up company for a change.
477
00:30:23,855 --> 00:30:25,253
This a long job?
478
00:30:25,255 --> 00:30:26,695
The case you're up here on?
479
00:30:28,455 --> 00:30:30,013
Could be.
480
00:30:30,015 --> 00:30:32,655
If you're passing again,
don't hesitate.
481
00:30:42,215 --> 00:30:44,213
Don't stay out, it's freezing.
482
00:30:44,215 --> 00:30:47,013
I've got to set the sat-nav
and everything.
483
00:30:47,015 --> 00:30:48,575
Night, Steve. Safe journey.
484
00:30:49,935 --> 00:30:51,215
Night.
485
00:31:02,055 --> 00:31:06,333
Thanks for coming out, Kate.
Sorry to unload my problems.
486
00:31:06,335 --> 00:31:09,455
No worries.
Glad I could be a sounding board.
487
00:31:10,655 --> 00:31:12,095
Well, this is me.
488
00:31:14,175 --> 00:31:17,335
It's Mark's turn to have Josh this
weekend if you're at a loose end.
489
00:31:19,255 --> 00:31:21,213
I'd need to check my diary.
490
00:31:21,215 --> 00:31:22,935
Yeah, no pressure.
491
00:31:32,415 --> 00:31:33,535
My diary's empty.
492
00:31:34,855 --> 00:31:37,413
I've just come out
of a long-term relationship.
493
00:31:37,415 --> 00:31:38,775
I, um...
494
00:31:44,735 --> 00:31:48,015
It would be nice to see
you at the weekend.
495
00:32:12,335 --> 00:32:14,733
Chloe, how's it going?
496
00:32:14,735 --> 00:32:17,173
Davidson gave us full cooperation,
so we've got the lot.
497
00:32:17,175 --> 00:32:20,093
We've recovered Vella's computers
that were seized after her murder.
498
00:32:20,095 --> 00:32:22,733
I thought you'd want to prioritise
them. Great. Hi, Amanda. Hi.
499
00:32:22,735 --> 00:32:25,333
The digital forensics team
have triaged the desktop computer,
500
00:32:25,335 --> 00:32:27,893
the laptop computer. The truth is,
they're remarkably clean.
501
00:32:27,895 --> 00:32:28,933
What do you mean?
502
00:32:28,935 --> 00:32:32,213
All applications still have store
settings, hardly any personal files.
503
00:32:32,215 --> 00:32:33,373
What, they were planted?
504
00:32:33,375 --> 00:32:36,213
Her killer replaced her actual
computers to cover up the burglary?
505
00:32:36,215 --> 00:32:39,133
I'll order the keyboards to be
swabbed and screens fingerprinted.
506
00:32:39,135 --> 00:32:41,653
That way, we can see if Gail ever
even touched them. Good call.
507
00:32:41,655 --> 00:32:43,013
So you've found nothing at all?
508
00:32:43,015 --> 00:32:45,053
The only item of interest is
a tiny audio file.
509
00:32:45,055 --> 00:32:46,893
It appears only partially
downloaded.
510
00:32:46,895 --> 00:32:49,093
How would that happen?
Going with your theory,
511
00:32:49,095 --> 00:32:51,813
it would be when the murderer
installed the replacement devices.
512
00:32:51,815 --> 00:32:54,453
They would have synced to her phone,
momentarily started to import
513
00:32:54,455 --> 00:32:56,453
the audio file before the murderer
broke the link.
514
00:32:56,455 --> 00:32:58,573
That would involve
him knowing her passwords.
515
00:32:58,575 --> 00:33:00,493
Sorry.
516
00:33:00,495 --> 00:33:02,933
GAIL VELLA ON AUDIO FILE:
Savile lied to cover them up.
517
00:33:02,935 --> 00:33:05,213
Some police officers not only
accepted those lies,
518
00:33:05,215 --> 00:33:06,293
they propagated them.
519
00:33:06,295 --> 00:33:08,853
We're losing our power
to challenge lies.
520
00:33:08,855 --> 00:33:11,215
MALE VOICE: There's some people
you can't challenge.
521
00:33:14,895 --> 00:33:17,653
We're losing our power to challenge
lies.
522
00:33:17,655 --> 00:33:20,935
There's some people you can't
challenge.
523
00:33:29,335 --> 00:33:32,735
Sorry, sir, I didn't think
you'd still be here.
524
00:33:33,815 --> 00:33:36,173
We need to find the rest
of Gail's recordings.
525
00:33:36,175 --> 00:33:38,135
Yeah, Amanda said she's on it.
526
00:33:46,735 --> 00:33:49,935
Do you mind me asking, sir,
but why have these been put up?
527
00:33:51,855 --> 00:33:54,573
The gaffer's never going to give it
up,
528
00:33:54,575 --> 00:33:57,293
not as long as he still runs
this place.
529
00:33:57,295 --> 00:33:58,973
And what about you?
530
00:33:58,975 --> 00:34:00,173
What about me?
531
00:34:00,175 --> 00:34:04,135
Well, do you still believe there's
a fourth man out there - H?
532
00:34:07,935 --> 00:34:09,415
I've moved on.
533
00:34:36,415 --> 00:34:37,975
That's us now.

Anti-Corruption Unit 12 interview
537
00:34:59,455 --> 00:35:01,893
of Detective Chief Inspector
Joanne Davidson
538
00:35:01,895 --> 00:35:05,373
in the presence of her Police
Federation representative,
539
00:35:05,375 --> 00:35:07,853
DCI John Rix, by Superintendent
Hastings,
540
00:35:07,855 --> 00:35:10,935
Detective Inspector Arnott
and Detective Constable Bishop.
541
00:35:12,135 --> 00:35:15,053
Ma'am, this interview relates
to Operation Lighthouse,
542
00:35:15,055 --> 00:35:20,093
the inquiry into the murder of Gail
Vella on September 10th, 2019,
543
00:35:20,095 --> 00:35:22,213
on which you've been senior
investigating officer
544
00:35:22,215 --> 00:35:24,453
since 6th October
of that same year.
545
00:35:24,455 --> 00:35:26,773
Document six in your folders.
546
00:35:26,775 --> 00:35:29,093
Document six is a copy of
an incident report
547
00:35:29,095 --> 00:35:30,453
lawfully seized by AC-12
548
00:35:30,455 --> 00:35:33,133
from the offices of the murder
investigation team
549
00:35:33,135 --> 00:35:36,773
located at Hillside Lane Police
Station on 4th November.
550
00:35:36,775 --> 00:35:38,933
Said incident report describes
events
551
00:35:38,935 --> 00:35:40,653
on the morning of 27th October,
552
00:35:40,655 --> 00:35:43,493
specifically the diversion and delay
of an operation
553
00:35:43,495 --> 00:35:45,813
to arrest a suspect
in the murder of Gail Vella
554
00:35:45,815 --> 00:35:47,653
in order to attend an armed robbery
555
00:35:47,655 --> 00:35:50,693
taking place at Hickey's Bookmakers,
Verlaine Road.
556
00:35:50,695 --> 00:35:52,973
On screen, images 11 to 14.
557
00:35:52,975 --> 00:35:57,015
Images 11 to 14 show street views
of said location.
558
00:35:58,255 --> 00:36:00,493
DCI Davidson, can you kindly
explain your actions
559
00:36:00,495 --> 00:36:04,655
on the morning of October 27th
in relation to this armed robbery?
560
00:36:06,455 --> 00:36:11,053
En route to arrest the suspect,
I observed a suspicious vehicle.
561
00:36:11,055 --> 00:36:13,893
Further inquiries detected
an armed robbery in progress.
562
00:36:13,895 --> 00:36:16,173
I ordered my officers to intervene.
563
00:36:16,175 --> 00:36:19,213
DCI Davidson's actions prevented
a serious and immediate threat
564
00:36:19,215 --> 00:36:20,413
to members of the public.
565
00:36:20,415 --> 00:36:22,333
Commendable.
566
00:36:22,335 --> 00:36:25,893
DI Arnott. Image 14 on screen.
567
00:36:25,895 --> 00:36:30,013
Image 14 shows the line of sight
from the route of the MIT convoy
568
00:36:30,015 --> 00:36:32,773
to the location of the
suspicious vehicle.
569
00:36:32,775 --> 00:36:34,773
Given you were a front-facing
passenger,
570
00:36:34,775 --> 00:36:35,973
it was a narrow line of sight.
571
00:36:35,975 --> 00:36:38,293
Plus, you were going
like the clappers.
572
00:36:38,295 --> 00:36:41,573
Nonetheless, I did see the vehicle
and, as a result,
573
00:36:41,575 --> 00:36:45,853
numerous members of the public
were saved from a terrifying ordeal.
574
00:36:45,855 --> 00:36:46,895
Oh.
575
00:36:47,895 --> 00:36:50,013
And what was it about this vehicle?
576
00:36:50,015 --> 00:36:54,293
Sir? I mean, it's just an ordinary
van parked in an ordinary street.
577
00:36:54,295 --> 00:36:56,333
Why give it the time of day?
578
00:36:56,335 --> 00:36:59,333
A registration check
proved suspicious.
579
00:36:59,335 --> 00:37:03,535
Yes, but you only found that out
after you stopped to investigate.
580
00:37:05,655 --> 00:37:09,133
It was an idling MPV parked
adjacent to a bookmakers.
581
00:37:09,135 --> 00:37:11,053
The driver wasn't reading
a newspaper
582
00:37:11,055 --> 00:37:12,893
or messing about on his phone.
583
00:37:12,895 --> 00:37:14,933
His eyes were fixed on the bookies.
584
00:37:14,935 --> 00:37:18,133
He was alert for a quick getaway.
Oh.
585
00:37:18,135 --> 00:37:21,773
And you deduced all that
in the fraction of a second?
586
00:37:21,775 --> 00:37:24,133
Call it a police officer's instinct.
587
00:37:24,135 --> 00:37:27,973
Oh, yes, we all get those from
time to time, DCI Davidson.
588
00:37:27,975 --> 00:37:29,413
I might be getting one right now.
589
00:37:29,415 --> 00:37:31,293
DC Bishop.
590
00:37:31,295 --> 00:37:34,893
We've examined MIT records in
relation to the armed robbery.
591
00:37:34,895 --> 00:37:38,053
Document 12 in your folders
592
00:37:38,055 --> 00:37:40,733
and image 20 on screen.
593
00:37:40,735 --> 00:37:42,893
Image 20 shows the men arrested
594
00:37:42,895 --> 00:37:45,733
in the act of conducting an armed
robbery
595
00:37:45,735 --> 00:37:48,613
of Hickey's Bookmakers
on October 27th.
596
00:37:48,615 --> 00:37:51,253
None of these men has a history
of serious or violent crime.
597
00:37:51,255 --> 00:37:53,973
The robbery took place early
in the morning,
598
00:37:53,975 --> 00:37:55,893
when takings would be at their
lowest.
599
00:37:55,895 --> 00:37:58,615
So what would you deduce
from these facts, DCI Davidson?
600
00:37:59,855 --> 00:38:01,613
A group of amateur criminals
601
00:38:01,615 --> 00:38:04,373
attempted an armed robbery
in an amateur fashion.
602
00:38:04,375 --> 00:38:06,933
According to Murder Investigation
Team files
603
00:38:06,935 --> 00:38:09,373
lawfully seized on 4th November,
604
00:38:09,375 --> 00:38:12,373
attending the armed robbery
on the morning of 27th October
605
00:38:12,375 --> 00:38:15,173
caused a delay of two hours and 25
minutes to the operation planned
606
00:38:15,175 --> 00:38:17,893
to arrest a suspect using the alias
Ross Turner,
607
00:38:17,895 --> 00:38:21,173
believed to reside at Flat 4F,
Beechwood House, Moss Heath.
608
00:38:21,175 --> 00:38:24,013
This delay was out of
DCI Davidson's control.
609
00:38:24,015 --> 00:38:26,093
One of the armed robbers
was shot dead
610
00:38:26,095 --> 00:38:28,093
by an authorised firearms officer.
611
00:38:28,095 --> 00:38:31,293
This necessitated a forensic
deployment and replacement AFOs.
612
00:38:31,295 --> 00:38:34,773
We also understand that an authority
for directed surveillance
613
00:38:34,775 --> 00:38:37,373
applied to Beechwood House.
The required authority
614
00:38:37,375 --> 00:38:39,373
should have been for intrusive
surveillance.
615
00:38:39,375 --> 00:38:41,333
As a result, while the matter
was resolved,
616
00:38:41,335 --> 00:38:44,733
surveillance was absent for a period
of three hours and 35 minutes.
617
00:38:44,735 --> 00:38:47,013
It needed to be resolved.
618
00:38:47,015 --> 00:38:49,253
Any evidence captured
during the wrong authority
619
00:38:49,255 --> 00:38:52,013
would have been inadmissible. Well,
maybe it would have been a good idea
620
00:38:52,015 --> 00:38:55,215
to get the right authority in
the first place, wouldn't you say?
621
00:38:56,455 --> 00:38:59,133
The error in assigning the
wrong surveillance authority
622
00:38:59,135 --> 00:39:01,735
was committed by a senior officer.
623
00:39:03,415 --> 00:39:05,015
That isn't in the file.
624
00:39:06,095 --> 00:39:08,215
I chose not to embarrass him.
625
00:39:09,375 --> 00:39:12,573
Look, DCI Davidson, we are charged
here
626
00:39:12,575 --> 00:39:14,933
with investigating serious crimes,
627
00:39:14,935 --> 00:39:18,733
not least the murder of a young
woman in the prime of her life.
628
00:39:18,735 --> 00:39:23,853
And I expect all policemen and women
to uphold their duty to the public
629
00:39:23,855 --> 00:39:28,813
above any misguided loyalty they may
have to their fellow officers.
630
00:39:28,815 --> 00:39:31,175
Now, who was the senior officer?
631
00:39:33,375 --> 00:39:34,855
No comment, sir.
632
00:39:37,055 --> 00:39:40,693
DI Arnott, will you bookmark
that for the DIR?
633
00:39:40,695 --> 00:39:42,573
Failure to comply.
634
00:39:42,575 --> 00:39:43,895
Sir.
635
00:39:49,535 --> 00:39:51,093
DC Bishop.
636
00:39:51,095 --> 00:39:52,893
Image 29 on screen.
637
00:39:52,895 --> 00:39:55,693
Please refer to document 15
in your folders,
638
00:39:55,695 --> 00:40:00,133
a copy of an arrest report lawfully
seized on 4th of November.
639
00:40:00,135 --> 00:40:04,253
Said arrest report describes
the arrest on 27th October
640
00:40:04,255 --> 00:40:06,213
at Flat 4F Beechwood House
641
00:40:06,215 --> 00:40:09,253
of a person later identified
as Terry Boyle,
642
00:40:09,255 --> 00:40:11,173
shown on the right in image 29.
643
00:40:11,175 --> 00:40:13,093
Also detected at the property
644
00:40:13,095 --> 00:40:16,333
were fingerprints and DNA deposits
matching Carl Banks,
645
00:40:16,335 --> 00:40:18,613
shown on the left in image 29.
646
00:40:18,615 --> 00:40:21,173
Let's start with Terry Boyle.
647
00:40:21,175 --> 00:40:24,293
According to files lawfully seized
on November 4th,
648
00:40:24,295 --> 00:40:26,013
a covert human intelligence source
649
00:40:26,015 --> 00:40:27,973
submitted information to his
handler,
650
00:40:27,975 --> 00:40:31,253
which was communicated to the Murder
Investigation Team via phone call
651
00:40:31,255 --> 00:40:34,973
at 23.21 on 26th October.
652
00:40:34,975 --> 00:40:38,093
The CHIS claimed a person
using the name Ross Turner
653
00:40:38,095 --> 00:40:41,053
had confessed to the murder
of Gail Vella.
654
00:40:41,055 --> 00:40:42,933
Terry Boyle's semen was detected
655
00:40:42,935 --> 00:40:45,813
on images of Gail Vella found
in his permanent residence,
656
00:40:45,815 --> 00:40:48,733
which is located a short
distance from Gail Vella's home.
657
00:40:48,735 --> 00:40:50,253
Also detected at the property
658
00:40:50,255 --> 00:40:52,893
were chemical traces of heroin
and cocaine,
659
00:40:52,895 --> 00:40:56,693
and on an item of outer clothing
particles of gunshot residue.
660
00:40:56,695 --> 00:40:59,173
Incriminating evidence.
661
00:40:59,175 --> 00:41:01,933
Gail Vella's Peugeot 108
was intercepted.
662
00:41:01,935 --> 00:41:03,733
As Miss Vella got out of the
vehicle,
663
00:41:03,735 --> 00:41:05,413
she was murdered with a single
gunshot
664
00:41:05,415 --> 00:41:07,173
carried out using a hard contact
method
665
00:41:07,175 --> 00:41:08,773
in which the muzzle of the pistol
666
00:41:08,775 --> 00:41:11,093
was forced against the back
of Miss Vella's head.
667
00:41:11,095 --> 00:41:13,453
Now, this technique confines
noise and gunshot powder.
668
00:41:13,455 --> 00:41:16,573
The murderer successfully evaded
all neighbourhood security cameras.
669
00:41:16,575 --> 00:41:19,133
These findings strongly suggest
a contract killing
670
00:41:19,135 --> 00:41:21,893
of the type
ordered by organised crime.
671
00:41:21,895 --> 00:41:23,973
Terry Boyle has no criminal record,
672
00:41:23,975 --> 00:41:26,013
no known association with organised
crime,
673
00:41:26,015 --> 00:41:28,813
and suffers from learning
difficulties which raise doubts
674
00:41:28,815 --> 00:41:32,333
regarding his capacity to commit
a cold-blooded assassination.
675
00:41:32,335 --> 00:41:35,173
The finding of images of Gail Vella
676
00:41:35,175 --> 00:41:38,133
suggested Boyle was an obsessed fan.
677
00:41:38,135 --> 00:41:41,333
While the hard contact technique
is associated with contract killing,
678
00:41:41,335 --> 00:41:43,133
it's not exclusive.
679
00:41:43,135 --> 00:41:46,293
There's no physical reason
an amateur couldn't do the same.
680
00:41:46,295 --> 00:41:49,493
The particles of gunshot residue
also link Boyle to the crime.
681
00:41:49,495 --> 00:41:51,533
They're below the threshold
amount you'd expect
682
00:41:51,535 --> 00:41:52,973
if Boyle had been holding the gun.
683
00:41:52,975 --> 00:41:56,173
Then add in the total lack of blood
spatter - there's not even a spot.
684
00:41:56,175 --> 00:41:58,093
That's correct, DI Arnott.
685
00:41:58,095 --> 00:42:00,613
We suspect the coat was
cross-contaminated
686
00:42:00,615 --> 00:42:02,573
from Boyle's hands or other
clothing,
687
00:42:02,575 --> 00:42:05,733
clothing he could have disposed
of after the murder.
688
00:42:05,735 --> 00:42:08,413
That's speculation, ma'am.
You've got no evidence.
689
00:42:08,415 --> 00:42:11,295
Which is why I didn't charge him.
690
00:42:17,415 --> 00:42:21,093
Right, let's take a look at this
fellow Carl Banks.
691
00:42:21,095 --> 00:42:25,055
Image 30 on screen. Image 30 shows
Carl Banks's criminal record.
692
00:42:26,415 --> 00:42:28,773
Banks has a long association
with organised crime
693
00:42:28,775 --> 00:42:31,893
and a history of violence,
including firearms offences.
694
00:42:31,895 --> 00:42:34,653
He fits the profile of a
contract killer.
695
00:42:34,655 --> 00:42:38,213
To use your words, DI Arnott,
that's speculation.
696
00:42:38,215 --> 00:42:41,133
Also, there's the question
of motive.
697
00:42:41,135 --> 00:42:44,453
Terry Boyle fits the profile
of an obsessed fan.
698
00:42:44,455 --> 00:42:46,333
We've never been able to identify
a motive
699
00:42:46,335 --> 00:42:48,413
for a contract killing
against Gail Vella.
700
00:42:48,415 --> 00:42:52,373
There's the possibility Vella
was working on an explosive story.
701
00:42:52,375 --> 00:42:54,813
Not only was she executed,
her research was stolen.
702
00:42:54,815 --> 00:42:58,613
A desktop and laptop computer
recovered from the property
703
00:42:58,615 --> 00:43:01,333
and recently re-examined bear no
fingerprints
704
00:43:01,335 --> 00:43:03,413
or DNA deposits matching Gail Vella.
705
00:43:03,415 --> 00:43:06,215
We believe these items were planted
to conceal a burglary.
706
00:43:08,335 --> 00:43:10,333
That's not in our files.
707
00:43:10,335 --> 00:43:12,093
No, but it's in ours.
708
00:43:12,095 --> 00:43:14,853
We're detectives, too, you know,
in case you hadn't noticed.
709
00:43:14,855 --> 00:43:18,613
DCI Davidson has led an exemplary
inquiry.
710
00:43:18,615 --> 00:43:20,293
If you've got new information,
711
00:43:20,295 --> 00:43:23,373
you should share it with
the Murder Investigation Team.
712
00:43:23,375 --> 00:43:24,613
According to your files,
713
00:43:24,615 --> 00:43:26,933
fingerprints and DNA deposits
matching Banks
714
00:43:26,935 --> 00:43:28,333
detected at Beechwood House
715
00:43:28,335 --> 00:43:30,893
were far more numerous
than those matching Boyle,
716
00:43:30,895 --> 00:43:33,213
suggesting Banks was
the primary resident,
717
00:43:33,215 --> 00:43:36,013
and also detected at Beechwood House
were signs of forced entry.
718
00:43:36,015 --> 00:43:40,173
Image 37 on screen is
from Carl Banks's postmortem.
719
00:43:40,175 --> 00:43:43,973
Document 21 in your folders
is a copy of the postmortem report.
720
00:43:43,975 --> 00:43:47,653
According to said postmortem
report, the pathologist concluded
721
00:43:47,655 --> 00:43:50,013
Carl Banks died from exsanguination
722
00:43:50,015 --> 00:43:52,173
due to a deep laceration
to the neck,
723
00:43:52,175 --> 00:43:54,173
most likely inflicted by a knife.
724
00:43:54,175 --> 00:43:57,373
Also detected on Banks's body
were lacerations and bruising
725
00:43:57,375 --> 00:43:59,533
caused by heavy blunt trauma
to the head,
726
00:43:59,535 --> 00:44:01,293
facial lacerations and bruising,
727
00:44:01,295 --> 00:44:04,573
and lesions on both wrists
consistent with ligature restraints.
728
00:44:04,575 --> 00:44:08,373
All these injuries were caused some
time before his death,
729
00:44:08,375 --> 00:44:11,853
and time of death was put at
on or around 27th October.
730
00:44:11,855 --> 00:44:16,733
So, what we have here is a forced
entry into Carl Banks's flat,
731
00:44:16,735 --> 00:44:19,813
Banks beaten unconscious,
his hands tied and,
732
00:44:19,815 --> 00:44:21,773
some time later, his throat cut.
733
00:44:21,775 --> 00:44:24,813
None of this could have occurred
without his arrest being delayed
734
00:44:24,815 --> 00:44:26,493
and the surveillance being absent.
735
00:44:26,495 --> 00:44:29,373
Now, call me suspicious,
DCI Davidson, but it seems to me
736
00:44:29,375 --> 00:44:30,493
that somebody got wind
737
00:44:30,495 --> 00:44:33,373
that Banks was shooting his mouth
off about Vella's murder
738
00:44:33,375 --> 00:44:35,693
and they decided to murder him
to stop him talking.
739
00:44:35,695 --> 00:44:37,613
Not only that, but they knew
740
00:44:37,615 --> 00:44:40,613
that your team was on course
to arrest him.
741
00:44:40,615 --> 00:44:42,933
They knew the route you were taking.
742
00:44:42,935 --> 00:44:45,493
And to top it all, they knew
the surveillance was absent,
743
00:44:45,495 --> 00:44:47,733
so that meant they could walk
in there,
744
00:44:47,735 --> 00:44:51,173
drag Banks out
and substitute him with Terry Boyle.
745
00:44:51,175 --> 00:44:54,053
And none of this,
none of this could have happened
746
00:44:54,055 --> 00:44:57,853
without you, and you alone, spotting
that van outside the bookies
747
00:44:57,855 --> 00:45:00,413
and deciding for some reason
I cannot fathom
748
00:45:00,415 --> 00:45:03,453
that it warranted investigation.
749
00:45:03,455 --> 00:45:07,253
Sir, all this is circumstantial.
750
00:45:07,255 --> 00:45:10,373
There's no evidence to support
anyone knowing any details
751
00:45:10,375 --> 00:45:12,093
of Operation Lighthouse.
752
00:45:12,095 --> 00:45:15,853
Evidence? We'll give you evidence.
DC Bishop.
753
00:45:15,855 --> 00:45:20,893
Image 41. Image 41 shows
item reference AR-6,
754
00:45:20,895 --> 00:45:24,733
a knife that was detected in
the vicinity of Carl Banks's body.
755
00:45:24,735 --> 00:45:26,573
Yeah, the killer, he didn't even
bother
756
00:45:26,575 --> 00:45:28,173
to throw the knife into the canal.
757
00:45:28,175 --> 00:45:30,853
I mean, he left it lying around
for the search team to find.
758
00:45:30,855 --> 00:45:32,493
That was handy, wasn't it?
759
00:45:32,495 --> 00:45:34,413
Criminals make mistakes.
760
00:45:34,415 --> 00:45:35,935
That's how we catch them.
761
00:45:37,015 --> 00:45:41,615
I could say exactly the same,
DCI Davidson, exactly the same.
762
00:45:42,935 --> 00:45:45,413
Please refer to document 23
in your folders,
763
00:45:45,415 --> 00:45:48,853
a copy of a forensic report on item
reference AR-6.
764
00:45:48,855 --> 00:45:52,853
Blood detected on AR-6 was subjected
to DNA analysis.
765
00:45:52,855 --> 00:45:55,893
The DNA harvested from blood cells
on AR-6
766
00:45:55,895 --> 00:45:59,573
match with 99.9% probability
DNA from Carl Banks.
767
00:45:59,575 --> 00:46:02,853
Fingerprints on AR-6 match
with 99.9% probability
768
00:46:02,855 --> 00:46:05,933
fingerprints belonging
to Alastair Oldroyd.
769
00:46:05,935 --> 00:46:08,573
Alastair Oldroyd was the CHIS
who submitted the original intel
770
00:46:08,575 --> 00:46:10,773
that Banks had confessed
to Vella's murder.
771
00:46:10,775 --> 00:46:13,613
So, for some reason,
Alastair Oldroyd,
772
00:46:13,615 --> 00:46:17,133
no history of violent crime,
kills Banks.
773
00:46:17,135 --> 00:46:20,813
The evidence proves Oldroyd
handled the murder weapon.
774
00:46:20,815 --> 00:46:23,773
We suspect Banks had been
threatening Oldroyd.
775
00:46:23,775 --> 00:46:26,733
Are you trying to kid us that
Alastair Oldroyd went in there,
776
00:46:26,735 --> 00:46:28,933
beat Banks unconscious,
dragged him out of the fla...?
777
00:46:28,935 --> 00:46:31,135
He was ten stone wringing wet!
778
00:46:32,575 --> 00:46:36,933
And that's not the half of it,
not by a long chalk. DI Arnott.
779
00:46:36,935 --> 00:46:39,733
Document 31.
According to your files,
780
00:46:39,735 --> 00:46:42,133
Oldroyd was found dead
on 29th October
781
00:46:42,135 --> 00:46:45,413
from a fall from the derelict
Chapel Place Car Park.
782
00:46:45,415 --> 00:46:46,853
According to said files,
783
00:46:46,855 --> 00:46:49,493
due to the lack of witnesses
and security cameras,
784
00:46:49,495 --> 00:46:52,733
it's impossible to determine
if Oldroyd jumped or he was pushed.
785
00:46:52,735 --> 00:46:56,093
Our hypothesis is that Oldroyd
killed Banks,
786
00:46:56,095 --> 00:46:57,773
then committed suicide.
787
00:46:57,775 --> 00:46:59,533
Yeah, your hypothesis.
788
00:46:59,535 --> 00:47:01,013
So there we have it,
789
00:47:01,015 --> 00:47:03,533
a series of suspicious deaths
790
00:47:03,535 --> 00:47:08,293
that conveniently obliterate a trail
of evidence that might lead us
791
00:47:08,295 --> 00:47:11,573
to Gail Vella's actual murderer.
And in the meantime,
792
00:47:11,575 --> 00:47:15,693
you have that wee fella Terry Boyle
on police bail.
793
00:47:15,695 --> 00:47:19,533
You have failed to consider
the alternative,
794
00:47:19,535 --> 00:47:23,813
that Carl Banks murdered Gail Vella
on the orders of organised crime,
795
00:47:23,815 --> 00:47:28,453
that organised criminals murdered
Carl Banks for his silence,
796
00:47:28,455 --> 00:47:33,733
and that organised criminals framed
Alastair Oldroyd for Banks's murder
797
00:47:33,735 --> 00:47:37,773
and then staged Oldroyd's murder
to look like a suicide.
798
00:47:37,775 --> 00:47:39,973
Of course I've considered
alternatives...
799
00:47:39,975 --> 00:47:42,893
And none of this, none of this would
have happened
800
00:47:42,895 --> 00:47:46,333
without crucial information
on police activities
801
00:47:46,335 --> 00:47:48,615
being leaked to organised crime.
802
00:47:54,615 --> 00:47:55,775
I agree.
803
00:48:01,255 --> 00:48:02,453
Excuse me?
804
00:48:02,455 --> 00:48:04,095
I agree, sir.
805
00:48:06,375 --> 00:48:09,253
If your theory is correct, the only
way it could have worked
806
00:48:09,255 --> 00:48:11,533
would have been for a corrupt
officer from my team
807
00:48:11,535 --> 00:48:14,815
to have leaked
key information to organised crime.
808
00:48:17,095 --> 00:48:20,333
Well, as I'm sure you're aware of,
DCI Davidson,
809
00:48:20,335 --> 00:48:24,093
there's really only
one way we're going to find out.
810
00:48:24,095 --> 00:48:26,333
DCI Joanne Davidson,
you do not have to say anything,
811
00:48:26,335 --> 00:48:29,093
but it may harm your defence if
you do not mention when questioned
812
00:48:29,095 --> 00:48:31,213
something you later rely on
in court.
813
00:48:31,215 --> 00:48:33,493
Anything you do say
may be used in evidence.
814
00:48:33,495 --> 00:48:36,853
DCI Davidson, did you leak
information
815
00:48:36,855 --> 00:48:39,413
on your team's operations?
816
00:48:39,415 --> 00:48:41,573
No, sir, I did not.
817
00:48:41,575 --> 00:48:44,013
Do you know of anyone who did leak
information?
818
00:48:44,015 --> 00:48:46,573
No, sir, I do not.
819
00:48:46,575 --> 00:48:49,893
I'd ask if you've examined
my communications history.
820
00:48:49,895 --> 00:48:51,293
As per anti-corruption powers,
821
00:48:51,295 --> 00:48:53,653
we've been able to access
your work calls and e-mails.
822
00:48:53,655 --> 00:48:56,053
Any evidence that I've been
communicating with an OCG?
823
00:48:56,055 --> 00:48:57,693
No, ma'am. However, we all recognise
824
00:48:57,695 --> 00:49:00,053
that such communication is
typically carried out
825
00:49:00,055 --> 00:49:01,933
by unregistered so-called
burner phones.
826
00:49:01,935 --> 00:49:04,013
I don't have a burner phone.
827
00:49:04,015 --> 00:49:06,333
Search my address, search my car.
828
00:49:06,335 --> 00:49:08,053
We will, ma'am.
829
00:49:08,055 --> 00:49:09,095
Fine.
830
00:49:12,135 --> 00:49:13,413
Are we done, sir?
831
00:49:13,415 --> 00:49:15,333
No, DCI Davidson,
we are not done here.
832
00:49:15,335 --> 00:49:17,173
I'm not happy with some
of the answers
833
00:49:17,175 --> 00:49:19,133
you've given
in this interview today.
834
00:49:19,135 --> 00:49:22,653
Specifically, I'm concerned
about three unanswered questions.
835
00:49:22,655 --> 00:49:24,733
One, your possible collusion
836
00:49:24,735 --> 00:49:28,173
in diverting and delaying
Carl Banks's arrest.
837
00:49:28,175 --> 00:49:30,093
Two, your possible collusion
838
00:49:30,095 --> 00:49:34,053
in the failure to maintain constant
surveillance on Carl Banks's flat.
839
00:49:34,055 --> 00:49:37,773
And three, your possible
collusion in leaking information
840
00:49:37,775 --> 00:49:41,013
regarding items one and two.
841
00:49:41,015 --> 00:49:42,573
And so, therefore, DCI Davidson,
842
00:49:42,575 --> 00:49:45,813
I'm going to arrest you on suspicion
of perverting the course of justice.
843
00:49:45,815 --> 00:49:48,093
DCI Davidson strenuously denies the
allegations...
844
00:49:48,095 --> 00:49:49,573
You will be held here
845
00:49:49,575 --> 00:49:52,653
until we can find a suitable
police custody cell.
846
00:49:52,655 --> 00:49:56,535
Interview terminated at 11.22.
847
00:49:57,695 --> 00:49:59,095
Wait.
848
00:50:01,935 --> 00:50:05,893
An OCG needed time to plan the
robbery and the abduction of Banks.
849
00:50:05,895 --> 00:50:08,613
If I was SIO on this,
the first thing I'd want to know
850
00:50:08,615 --> 00:50:12,133
is who knew about Banks's confession
early enough.
851
00:50:12,135 --> 00:50:14,693
In order, that's the CHIS handler,
852
00:50:14,695 --> 00:50:18,693
then my officers who received
his call, PS Jatri and DS Lomax,
853
00:50:18,695 --> 00:50:22,815
then me, then my boss,
Detective Superintendent Buckells.
854
00:50:24,095 --> 00:50:27,455
If you're going to search my home,
I'd suggest you search theirs too.
855
00:50:47,095 --> 00:50:49,413
Do you understand how much work I've
got to do?
856
00:50:49,415 --> 00:50:51,373
When the Chief Super phones up
857
00:50:51,375 --> 00:50:53,413
and asks what's going on
with Lighthouse, right,
858
00:50:53,415 --> 00:50:54,773
what am I going to tell him?
859
00:50:54,775 --> 00:50:56,453
Cheers, guys. Oh, about bloody
time.
860
00:50:56,455 --> 00:50:58,333
You want to tell me what the hell's
going on?
861
00:50:58,335 --> 00:51:00,013
Detective Superintendent Buckells,
862
00:51:00,015 --> 00:51:02,813
in connection with our lawful
inquiry into Operation Lighthouse,
863
00:51:02,815 --> 00:51:05,733
we have received authority to
examine the communications activity
864
00:51:05,735 --> 00:51:08,693
of certain named officers.
Is this a piss-take or what?
865
00:51:08,695 --> 00:51:10,853
Sir, your work and personal
communications records
866
00:51:10,855 --> 00:51:12,333
are currently being scrutinised.
867
00:51:12,335 --> 00:51:15,053
Furthermore, we have received
authority to carry out a search
868
00:51:15,055 --> 00:51:17,655
of your vehicle and your home
under warrant powers.
869
00:51:19,935 --> 00:51:22,815
This is a joke,
a total pigging joke.
870
00:51:24,655 --> 00:51:26,333
Well, yeah, I'll tell you what,
871
00:51:26,335 --> 00:51:29,053
when you find my stash of jazz mags,
feel free to knock one out.
872
00:51:29,055 --> 00:51:31,895
Thank you for your cooperation, sir.
873
00:51:43,735 --> 00:51:45,535
PHONE RINGS
874
00:51:48,055 --> 00:51:49,173
DI Arnott.
875
00:51:49,175 --> 00:51:51,693
It's Chloe, sir.
Look, I'm at the search
876
00:51:51,695 --> 00:51:54,213
and the FIs have found
a cache of burner phones.
877
00:51:54,215 --> 00:51:55,853
Where? Davidson's?
878
00:51:55,855 --> 00:51:58,173
No, Officer J's.
879
00:51:58,175 --> 00:52:00,015
At Farida's.
880
00:52:01,055 --> 00:52:02,453
On my way.
881
00:52:02,455 --> 00:52:04,495
SIREN WAILS
882
00:52:10,575 --> 00:52:14,333
For the DIR, I'm showing PS Jatri
item reference CB-4.
883
00:52:14,335 --> 00:52:16,573
CB-4 is an unregistered
mobile phone
884
00:52:16,575 --> 00:52:19,815
detected during a lawful search
of 29 Stalton Drive.
885
00:52:21,015 --> 00:52:23,053
Do you recognise this phone?
886
00:52:23,055 --> 00:52:24,095
No.
887
00:52:26,055 --> 00:52:28,333
For the DIR, I'm showing PS Jatri
image 76.
888
00:52:28,335 --> 00:52:31,653
Image 76 shows a cache of similar
devices
889
00:52:31,655 --> 00:52:35,533
detected during said lawful
search of 29 Stalton Drive.
890
00:52:35,535 --> 00:52:38,573
How do you account for these devices
being found hidden in your home?
891
00:52:38,575 --> 00:52:41,173
They've been put there!
I don't know anything about them.
892
00:52:41,175 --> 00:52:42,853
All these devices bear DNA deposits
893
00:52:42,855 --> 00:52:44,653
matching your elimination
samples.
894
00:52:44,655 --> 00:52:47,493
I've never even seen them
before, let alone touched them!
895
00:52:47,495 --> 00:52:50,173
Examination of mobile phone CB-4
896
00:52:50,175 --> 00:52:54,333
reveals calls made in the early
hours of October 27th
897
00:52:54,335 --> 00:52:55,773
to an unidentified number.
898
00:52:55,775 --> 00:52:58,453
The timing of these calls
coincides exactly
899
00:52:58,455 --> 00:53:01,093
with the first intelligence report
900
00:53:01,095 --> 00:53:03,253
of a suspect claiming to have
murdered Gail Vella.
901
00:53:03,255 --> 00:53:05,693
Did you pass on confidential
information
902
00:53:05,695 --> 00:53:07,853
on the operation to arrest
this suspect?
903
00:53:07,855 --> 00:53:10,855
No, no! I had nothing
to do with it!
904
00:53:13,295 --> 00:53:15,933
Farida Jatri, I have been
in consultation
905
00:53:15,935 --> 00:53:17,613
with the Crown Prosecutor
906
00:53:17,615 --> 00:53:20,533
and she has authorised me to charge
you with the following offences...
907
00:53:20,535 --> 00:53:22,935
I'm being framed!
Who's framing you?
908
00:53:24,695 --> 00:53:26,495
Who are you claiming is framing you?
909
00:53:30,735 --> 00:53:32,493
It's Jo, it's Jo Davidson.
910
00:53:32,495 --> 00:53:34,413
She planted those phones.
911
00:53:34,415 --> 00:53:36,655
You're claiming she broke
into your house?
912
00:53:38,015 --> 00:53:39,415
She didn't have to break in.
913
00:53:40,735 --> 00:53:42,095
What do you mean by that?
914
00:53:44,375 --> 00:53:45,535
She lived there with me.
915
00:53:48,215 --> 00:53:51,453
We searched DCI Davidson's home
address. It appeared lived in.
916
00:53:51,455 --> 00:53:54,453
Yeah, she has her own place, she
just keeps overnight stuff at mine.
917
00:53:54,455 --> 00:53:56,973
We found no items belonging
to another person.
918
00:53:56,975 --> 00:53:58,415
She moved out.
919
00:54:03,535 --> 00:54:07,735
Are you able to disclose to us
the nature of this relationship?
920
00:54:15,175 --> 00:54:16,575
She was lying to me.
921
00:54:17,975 --> 00:54:20,053
She lied and lied.
922
00:54:20,055 --> 00:54:22,093
That's the kind of person she is.
923
00:54:22,095 --> 00:54:24,255
None of you know what she's like.
924
00:54:28,535 --> 00:54:30,335
SHE SOBS
925
00:54:34,095 --> 00:54:36,453
God give me strength,
I don't know who to believe.
926
00:54:36,455 --> 00:54:39,293
Well, now it seems possible Farida
made allegations about Davidson
927
00:54:39,295 --> 00:54:42,293
for personal reasons. But the stuff
we've found since then...
928
00:54:42,295 --> 00:54:45,093
Isn't enough. Not yet, anyway.
929
00:54:45,095 --> 00:54:46,935
HE TAPS AT PHONE
930
00:54:48,855 --> 00:54:50,615
Superintendent Hastings.
931
00:54:51,815 --> 00:54:54,015
Release DCI Davidson.
932
00:55:00,655 --> 00:55:02,695
Why won't anyone believe me?
933
00:55:18,455 --> 00:55:20,815
Thanks, I'm fine from here. Ma'am.
934
00:55:38,015 --> 00:55:41,495
Where to, ma'am?
I need to pick up my car.
935
00:55:43,295 --> 00:55:45,653
I don't know if they've told you
about PS Jatri...
936
00:55:45,655 --> 00:55:48,175
That's what happens to a rat.
937
00:56:42,815 --> 00:56:45,255
SHE SOBS
938
00:56:54,695 --> 00:56:56,735
SHE WAILS
