00:00Previously on The Bill
00:04Oh, um, Roger, are you still on for that drink tonight?
00:08What changed your mind?
00:09Are you threatening me?
00:10No, sweetheart.
00:12I'm promising.
00:13You only wanted me for my inside knowledge.
00:14I'm not the leak.
00:16I'm the journalist.
00:30I was sent in undercover.
00:43This is a wind-up.
00:46Now, I was going to leave my wife for you.
00:50You and me, we're separate to all of this.
00:54Will you listen to yourself?
00:55I have fallen in love with someone who doesn't exist.
00:58Yes, I do.
01:00And I love you.
01:01I want to have a future with you.
01:03Oh.
01:04Is this before or after your next exclusive?
01:07Where Sunhill D.I. in sex romps with undercover reporter?
01:10I would never do that to you.
01:12That was never what you and I were about.
01:14And I'm supposed to take your word for it, am I?
01:16I swear.
01:20Neil, I didn't plan to fall in love with you.
01:25And I know I should have steered clear.
01:30But would you ever take anything back that's happened between us?
01:37Well, it depends, doesn't it?
01:42Have you ever used any information that I naively gave you?
01:46The ballistic report.
01:59And as plain as anything, you denied it.
02:02That wasn't me.
02:03Bruce got that straight from the lab.
02:05What then?
02:06That's why you were so keen on clearing the superintendent's name, isn't it?
02:15It was you who told the world about the cannabis in the first place.
02:19I did it that one time.
02:20And I never used anything else that you told me.
02:23I never wanted that story to run that way.
02:25I was stitched up.
02:26Yeah, well, I know how it feels.
02:30Neil, please.
02:37I have struck a deal.
02:41Now, I have a story that will benefit Sun Hill and make the paper happy.
02:45And they will run that instead of my undercover expose of the Met.
02:49They won't reveal my identity.
02:54And I can walk out of here without anyone ever knowing the truth about me.
03:00I do.
03:03The only thing left now is...
03:07damage limitation.
03:11Sam.
03:13Still at it.
03:14Just a few final checks, sir.
03:16Place to be prepared.
03:17Especially with a serial rape trial on this scale.
03:21I'm sure I don't have to tell you how important a conviction is.
03:24We've all worked very hard, Nailing Kennedy.
03:27I'm not going to let it fall apart just because he's rejected his confession.
03:32You know who you're up against.
03:34Yeah, I heard.
03:35But with respect, sir, I don't think anyone can get Kennedy off this one.
03:39Not even the great Sherwood QC.
03:42Let's hope.
03:46Get off!
03:47Get in there!
03:48Go!
03:49Go on!
03:49Get off!
03:50Will you pack it up with me?
03:51Sound down, man!
03:52I've done nothing!
03:53Come on!
03:53Now, look, we've already asked you, all right?
03:57Colin, what are you doing here?
03:58Needed a new incident report book, Sergeant.
04:00Well, what happened to your old one?
04:01It's been a busy day.
04:02Got through it.
04:03Well, when you get your new IRB, go home.
04:05I've already got it.
04:05So, what are you still doing here, then?
04:09See how it's all done.
04:10Checking who's lit.
04:11Could come and hand it.
04:13Colin, you're a support officer, not a copper.
04:16Will be one day, though, I hope.
04:17Well, until then, you're a PCSO.
04:19So, do what PCSOs do and leave the police work to us.
04:22Now, go home.
04:23You'll make the place look untied.
04:24Sarge.
04:26You telling the superintendent could implicate you as well.
04:30And not telling him wouldn't do me much good, either.
04:33No, Neil, Neil, please, wait.
04:35There is another way.
04:38And we could still be together.
04:41I can't let any feelings I might have for you get in the way of what's right.
04:48OK.
04:51You do what you think you have to.
04:54I don't suppose there's any chance of my stealing him away for a quick pint, is there?
05:08Oh, no.
05:08It's Elsa tonight.
05:09Didn't he tell you?
05:10Funnily enough, actually, it's a very interesting way of keeping fit.
05:14Yeah, I'm sure.
05:15I'll leave you a ginger to it, then.
05:18All right, Andrew.
05:19Good night.
05:20See you tomorrow.
05:24I won't give you a lot.
05:46Yeah, come in.
05:46Are you ready?
06:03Yep.
06:04Let's go.
06:04You've got a late pass tonight, then?
06:13Oh, well, it depends.
06:15There's only a living car here.
06:18Because how am I going to get home otherwise?
06:20We can get a cab.
06:21That means we can both have a drink.
06:23OK, fine.
06:24It doesn't take half an hour to hail one.
06:30It's freezing out here.
06:32Well, I'll just have to keep you warm.
06:33You're ready.
06:34OK.
06:34Keep you warm.
06:35Oh, well, yeah.
06:38Oh.
06:38Oh, well, yeah.
06:41Oh, well.
06:43Oh.
06:43Oh.
06:43Oh.
06:44Oh.
06:48Oh.
06:49Oh.
06:51Oh.
06:58Oh.
06:59Oh.
07:00Oh.
07:01Oh.
07:02Oh.
07:02Oh.
07:03Oh.
07:03Oh.
07:03Oh.
07:03What's your name, Ma?
07:29Sir?
07:33Oh, Andrea, come in here a minute.
07:40What have you been doing to DI Manson?
07:43Sir?
07:44No, whatever it was, you've obviously impressed him.
07:46He wants you to do some work for him.
07:48Really?
07:49Yeah, don't look so happy about it.
07:51Because with Leela and Amber off on that driving course at Hendon,
07:53the last thing I need is any of my PCs seconded.
07:56Anyway, you'd better get up there. He's doing court today.
07:59Right, I've got it changed.
08:02Sir, can I have a word?
08:03Yeah.
08:04Then we're private.
08:06Okay.
08:08You all right?
08:10You better.
08:14Come on, you've got me worried now.
08:16I saw you, Jim.
08:18Last night I saw you with Roger.
08:20Switch on ignition, note warning lights, start engine, warning lights go out.
08:32Hey, what are you doing after the final drives?
08:35We should go out and celebrate.
08:35Expecting to pass for flying colours, are we?
08:39There's nothing wrong with a bit of positive thinking.
08:41If Amber doesn't get here in the next two minutes, she'll have failed without even getting into the car.
08:46The matter she put away last night, trying to chat up the instructor.
08:48She's probably nursing hangover.
08:50If I hadn't wrestled that vodka bottle off her back at the room, she'd have been up half the night singing,
08:54Baby, you can drive my car.
08:57Brakes, good firm pressure on a brake pedal.
08:59Here, check that out.
09:03Hey, you had a blood transfusion or something.
09:05I thought you'd look like death warmed up.
09:07Might look like I'm half alive, but inside, I'm dying.
09:12What, and Carol didn't even fall for your charms?
09:14What a waste of time.
09:15What was I thinking?
09:17I'd practically no chance of passing my final drives yesterday.
09:19How am I going to do it on a hangover?
09:22This isn't the dune I know.
09:25No, the dune you knew let her husband run up thousands of pounds worth of debts
09:29and swipe her home from under her.
09:31I can understand why you're bitter.
09:33Oh, that doesn't even come close.
09:36If you really feel like that, just tell Jim it's over.
09:40Oh, yeah, with Marie not even cold in the ground.
09:43Oh, you can't use that as an excuse.
09:46Anyway, I'd have sticking your tongue down Roger's throat for the whole relief to see
09:50protect Jim's feelings.
09:51Yeah, they didn't see, did they?
09:52Would you care if they did?
09:56You wanted to be seen.
09:59You wanted Jim to find out.
10:00Oh, please.
10:01Well, why else would you...
10:03Look, this isn't doing him any favours.
10:05Just be straight with him.
10:07He's going to be ten times more hurt if he finds out like this.
10:09Oh, I'm sorry.
10:10What, more hurt than I was?
10:13Do you have any idea what it was like walking back in here?
10:17You know, after all those speeches, the gold clock?
10:19Look, I felt completely humiliated.
10:26Perhaps it would do him good to know exactly what that felt like.
10:31Come on, June.
10:33You're bigger than this.
10:35Am I?
10:35Then why does everything feel so out of my control?
10:38Oh, see you later, June.
10:47Yeah.
10:48Yeah.
10:48Yeah.
10:56Everything all right?
10:57Yeah, yeah, fine.
11:00I am sorry about last night.
11:03Susan called.
11:03Susan.
11:06Susan, yeah, you know, I met her at Hinden.
11:10Anyway, I went round there and before I knew it, it was after midnight.
11:16I just wish you'd called, that's all.
11:18Yes, well, I'm sorry.
11:22You haven't made too much of an effort for dinner, had you?
11:26No.
11:32I'm going to have to get that.
11:33Of course.
11:43Hello, Sergeant Ackland.
11:45It's a bit stinking, please.
11:46Something else you want to do.
11:49I must have, yeah.
11:50Sorry, I won't do anything.
12:00You have to hand in your notice.
12:01I didn't think I'd have to.
12:06Your little chat with the superintendent last night obviously wasn't about me.
12:09I don't have to do your dirty work for you.
12:11Besides, today's the start of the Alan Kennedy trial.
12:14The last thing we need is the shambles going public while we're trying to nail a serial rapist.
12:19Are you sure that's the only reason?
12:21Or is it because you couldn't bring yourself to do it?
12:23You couldn't tell the superintendent the truth about me because you still love me.
12:31Well, you can think what you're like, but you're not off the hook.
12:33Look, I still want you to resign at the end of the day.
12:37Meantime, I've invented some work for you in BIU.
12:39I don't want you going anywhere near any proper police work.
12:42Neil, I've told you, we can get clear of this.
12:45And we can still have a future together without ruining your career.
12:49And even if it comes out later, I'm a journalist.
12:53There'll be nothing to suggest that you knew anything about it.
12:55I've got to get to court.
12:56Good afternoon.
13:03Good to see you, Kapoor.
13:04P.C. Casper.
13:07P.C. R. Hanson.
13:10Are you feeling all right?
13:11Yeah, absolutely, 100%.
13:13P.C. Casper will have you first.
13:25Oi.
13:26Numbar, I thought you were seconded to the DI.
13:29I am.
13:29I'm just on my way to BIU.
13:32She's in for change hands now.
13:33How will you know it's now?
13:37It's up last, Kapoor, so I want to see you.
13:40And while I'm there, I'm going to run a few more checks on Gabriel.
13:43Now we know that he's Jim's son, we've got a new area of investigation.
13:49And I told you to keep that to yourself.
13:52Gina got his birth certificate under a false pretence, and if that ever got out, she could lose her job.
13:55I know, don't worry, I'll be careful.
13:57And I'm going to do some digging on the family who adopted him.
14:00Well, how's that going to help?
14:01Because I've spent ages looking into Gabriel's past, and so far I've got nothing concrete.
14:06I bet MIT never checked out his family.
14:09Who's to say there isn't something there?
14:10I told you yesterday that this is getting way out of control.
14:14Why are you behaving like this?
14:15Because too much depends on it.
14:18Andrea.
14:19Andrea.
14:22Bennett SN2, Bennett JC5.
14:25Yep.
14:25What's next?
14:26Parker BD3.
14:27Yep.
14:27So did June appreciate your culinary attempt last night?
14:33Not exactly.
14:36She didn't come home.
14:37Eh?
14:38She was visiting a friend in need.
14:41You're joking.
14:42Ken, I don't know what's going on.
14:45She's moved back in.
14:47Surely that means she's giving the marriage another go.
14:49Why would she choose to go and spend the night on someone's sofa?
14:52I haven't got a clue of what she's thinking.
14:58What's next?
15:00Bennett KD1, KD3.
15:02Yeah.
15:04Look, no disrespect to me, but she did ban you out on the tune of 63 grand.
15:10It'll take time.
15:11And like you said, she has moved back in.
15:13That's a start, yeah?
15:14You reckon?
15:15Will you stop doing that?
15:24I'll call you this money and he'll let you out.
15:27Oh, my God.
15:28That's enough.
15:29What's going on, Colin?
15:30This bloke's trying to nick off without paying.
15:32What do you mean?
15:32I paid you what we agreed.
15:34He's charging me £200 more than he quoted.
15:36He's still got to pay me.
15:37He's boxed me in.
15:38He won't let me out.
15:39Now, that's got to be against the law.
15:40No, this is a citizen's arrest.
15:42Tell him the law, will you?
15:43You're in England now.
15:44You've got to pay off.
15:45Oh, for goodness sakes.
15:46All right, now, look.
15:48You two gentlemen just calm down, all right?
15:50We might just be able to resolve this little matter.
15:52I'm going to put up a sign banning Asians always trying to slip off without paying.
15:56Right, now, look.
15:57I've warned you once.
15:58I'm going to have to tell you now, under Section 4 of the Public Order Act,
16:02if you keep up this racist attitude, I'm going to have to arrest you, okay?
16:06Come over here with the big flash cars.
16:08Don't want to get their hands dirty.
16:09Don't want to pay.
16:10I'm as British as you are.
16:12Yeah, then you do.
16:13Yeah.
16:13I'm told already, mate.
16:14Hey, more of that.
16:14You're coming down a nick, all right?
16:15I haven't done anything.
16:16Stand there and calm down.
16:19Well, if you're going to arrest me, you might as well make it for something worthwhile.
16:22Here!
16:22Oi!
16:23I'm starting out!
16:26Right, that's it.
16:27I'm going to have to arrest you now for racially motivated criminal damage.
16:30You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention
16:34when questioned something you later rely on in court.
16:36Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
16:38This is dual carriageway, national speed limit.
16:42Still quite wide here.
16:44Er, Mirus.
16:45The cyclist's coming.
16:48On the next side, he's okay.
16:49We'll clear ahead.
16:51Well, KC Casper, I'd like you to take the next turning on the left, please, and come to a halt.
16:55Okay.
16:56Mirus, coming to a halt.
16:58Let's clear the park.
16:59Mirus brakes.
17:01Handbrake on.
17:03Mission off.
17:03I'm down to you to go.
17:06PC Kapoor.
17:07It's your turn on the hot seat.
17:12Ah, Inspector Gold's office, will you?
17:14Yes, Sarge.
17:15It's Sarge.
17:16I've got something.
17:18What?
17:19When Gabriel was adopted by the Kents, they already had a son of their own.
17:23Yeah, David.
17:24Well, it turns out David was also in the Navy.
17:27Not only that, he served in the Gulf.
17:29Jason Hardy was in the Gulf with a special boat service.
17:32Now, if he met David when he was out there, that could be our link.
17:36Gabriel could know the sniper through his brother.
17:39Well, that's just brilliant.
17:41I mean, we should just take that to MIT straight away.
17:43You've got loads of ideas and no proof.
17:48You're obsessed.
17:49Yeah.
17:50Well, maybe I am.
17:51At least I now know what I'm looking for.
17:53Have you got any idea how guarded the military are?
17:56Getting details out of them isn't exactly easy.
17:59I know.
18:00I'll think of something.
18:02What's up?
18:03Yeah, one minute.
18:07Take my advice.
18:09Let it go.
18:10Bruce, I need your help.
18:26Non-payment of bills is a civil matter.
18:28How did it end up here?
18:29Well, it just got out of hand, that's all.
18:31The garage owner started making racist comments and then laying into the Asian gentleman's car.
18:35OK, so deal with it.
18:37Except there might be complications.
18:39Yeah, like what, Rich?
18:42Colin Fairfax is involved.
18:43He was there when we arrived.
18:44So?
18:45He was first on the scene.
18:46What's wrong with that?
18:47Well, nothing.
18:48But it wasn't even around the station, was it?
18:49It was the Asian gentleman.
18:51I suppose Colin thought he could deal with it himself.
18:53Oh, I've told him before.
18:55Leave the police work to us.
18:57And there's something else.
18:58The Asian gentleman, Mr. Ramon, he reckons that Colin displayed a racist attitude towards him.
19:04Did you witness this?
19:06Well, no.
19:06But?
19:06Well, at one point, the garage owner made a racist comment towards the Asian gentleman, Mr. Ramon.
19:13And Colin, they seemed to think it was fun.
19:16I mean, there might be nothing in it, so I thought you ought to know.
19:19No.
19:19He's done the right thing.
19:20Get a statement from Colin and then we'll question the other two, all right?
19:23So.
19:28All right, what did Mr. Payne say or do to you before the two police officers arrived?
19:32The usual.
19:36It's cash only for you, Lon.
19:37You're all a bunch of thieves.
19:39Lady got around to get back to where you came from.
19:43He wasn't very imaginative.
19:44And did matters improve once our support officer was on the scene?
19:49I thought they would, but they didn't.
19:51In his incident report book, the support officer says it was you who became abusive, too.
19:57Well, I may have been.
19:59I was angry.
20:00No, it states here that it was you who started being racially offensive.
20:03What?
20:04That you called Mr. Payne thieving white scum.
20:08I may have called him a thief, but I didn't call him white scum.
20:13I don't use words like that.
20:15Mr. Ramon, at the garage, I believe you intimated that you thought the support officer was racist.
20:20Was that because of something he said?
20:23Not exactly.
20:24Mr. Payne didn't stop being racist when your support officer turned up.
20:33But then your support officer didn't seem to have a problem with it.
20:36So how did he react to Mr. Payne's behaviour?
20:39He laughed.
20:47Okay.
20:48I lost me rag.
20:49Busting his headlamp was out of order.
20:51But I did a lot of extra graft on that car and he won't pay for it.
20:54People like that are a pain in the backside.
20:57People like what?
20:58People that don't pay.
21:01Look, I'll fix his headlamp.
21:03You don't have to charge me with the criminal damage, right?
21:05Racism isn't something you can get off with that easily.
21:07He started that.
21:09He called me a thieving white scum.
21:10White scum.
21:12And that's when it started to get out of hand, was it?
21:13When Mr. Ramon called you that?
21:15Yeah.
21:15And then our support officer arrived.
21:17Yeah.
21:18No.
21:20Colin was already there.
21:21By then.
21:22But before you and your mate turned up.
21:24You know Colin then?
21:26Yeah, of course.
21:28What do you mean, yeah, course?
21:30He used to work for me, didn't he?
21:31Before he joined you lot.
21:34It's no secret.
21:35I'm down on his application.
21:37I'm one of his referees.
21:48So, what is it this time?
21:49Don't tell me you're on to something big.
21:51You just need more time.
21:53I need some information on the special boat service and the Gulf War.
21:56This were your big scoop, is it?
21:58You don't make life easy on yourself, do you?
22:01Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get anything out of the military?
22:05I know.
22:06That's why I need your help.
22:08I thought you might have a contact.
22:10It's someone that can help me out with the hard evidence.
22:13It'll be worth your while, Bruce, if it helps me get this story.
22:17Far be it from me to let my favourite undercover reporter down.
22:20A friend of mine called Bantry.
22:25He can't help you.
22:26No one can.
22:29So when exactly am I expecting your copy?
22:33I'm sure I'll start polishing up your undercover reporter expose instead.
22:36Forget the expose.
22:38This story's huge.
22:40Any editor would give the right arm for a story like this.
22:42It's only a matter of time before I've done nothing on my front page.
22:45And when I do, your expose is ready and waiting.
22:48It's only a matter of time before I've done nothing on my front page.
23:18I can't do my bit.
23:19Well, if Kennedy gets what he deserves, it'll be worth the wait.
23:23You know Hugh Wallace hasn't been caught to give evidence?
23:25Yeah.
23:26Don't you think that'll look a bit odd?
23:27I mean, considering it was his geographical profile that lends to Kennedy,
23:30and it was him who found the mill.
23:31After what he did to Abby, he's the last person I'd want to rely on.
23:35Anyway, we don't need his evidence.
23:36Our case is strong enough without it.
23:38Yeah.
23:39I suppose if Wallace doesn't give evidence, at least Sheward can't refer to him in prison.
23:42Yeah.
23:43Can't believe Kennedy's in there.
23:48All these months, and he's finally going to get what's coming to him.
23:53I note from the tape transcripts of your interviews with my client, Alan Kennedy,
23:59that you, although senior officer, were happy to let D.S. Nixon take the lead.
24:07D.S. Nixon's a very experienced officer.
24:08Yeah, the point is that you were willing to hand responsibility over to a more junior officer.
24:14No.
24:15Prior to the interview, D.S. Nixon and I had agreed a complete interview strategy.
24:19So it follows, then, that part of your complete strategy
24:24was that you would have been responsible for what D.S. Nixon chose to wear on this occasion.
24:31D.S. Nixon's attire was entirely at her own discretion.
24:34So not part of your strategy?
24:37D.S. Nixon, that'll be all.
24:49Reggie's charging Chris Payne with racially aggravated criminal damage.
24:53Oh, cheers.
24:55And what do you think of Colin's role in all this?
24:57Well, I don't for a second believe that line he told us that Ramon started it all.
25:04No. Neither do I.
25:10Colin and Payne are old mates.
25:12So they could have spoken about what they were going to put in Colin's report.
25:16Maybe, but we can't prove it.
25:17Yeah, but if he's put a false statement in his IRB, I want it dealt with.
25:20Yes, well, so do I.
25:22But like I said, if Colin and Payne have agreed on what Mr. Ramon said,
25:26we can't prove anything.
25:28I mean, maybe...
25:29Maybe Colin was leaned on by that garage-owning friend of his.
25:33Maybe he's still salvageable.
25:35Well, not if he's inherently racist, Dianne.
25:37Mm.
25:40We can't just ignore an issue like this, Jim.
25:42I do not ignore issues.
25:52The court's risen for a break.
25:54They're finished with me, so I'm going to get back to the station.
25:56So how did he get on?
25:58Not sure we should discuss the case here, Gov.
26:03Miss Nixon.
26:04What a pleasant outfit, if I may say so.
26:07Very appropriate.
26:09But then you do know how to dress for the occasion, don't you?
26:12If he wants to talk about what I wore during the interview,
26:20then he can bring it on.
26:24Approaching T-junction, indicating left.
26:26Look to the right, one toward.
26:29All clear.
26:30Look to the left, all clear.
26:32Shops on the left, approaching a pedestrian crossing.
26:35Mother and child, are they crossing?
26:37I've got eye contact, they're not going anywhere,
26:39so I proceed with caution.
26:41Incident occurring on the left.
26:42I see one suspect attempting street robbery.
26:45Phone in, please, PCI.
26:46It's in the speed dial.
26:47Keeping suspect in sight for a local division come to pick him up, Sarge.
26:51OK, we should be able to cut him off around the back of this building,
26:54but remember, you're still under test conditions.
26:56Having a problem with your hand-to-eye coordination this morning?
26:59Oh, no, no, no, I just got one number.
27:05Into off-road parking area.
27:07Checking to the front, all clear.
27:09Checking to the right, checking to the left, all clear.
27:11And proceed.
27:14Approaching the pedestrian crossing, mother and child are now crossing.
27:17You're going to lose him.
27:18Selecting the gear and proceeding.
27:19I'd like to turn to an element of the interview that was indisputably at your discretion.
27:28An element that I find quite extraordinary, given the context.
27:32A female officer being in close proximity to a man accused of serious sexual assault.
27:43If you're alluding to what I wore on the first day of interview.
27:47Please go on.
27:48Neither the suspect nor his solicitor made any complaint about what I wore at the time.
27:53Indeed.
27:54And Mr Kennedy's confession came on the second day of interview,
27:58when I was dressed pretty much as I am right now.
28:01Well, D.S. Nixon, I'm glad you've got that off your chest.
28:06As it happens, I wasn't alluding to your clothing at all.
28:11I have rather more important areas in which to question you than your choice of attire.
28:16What I was actually referring to, D.S. Nixon, was a somewhat more serious matter.
28:21Your line of questioning.
28:23Seems your approach to cross-examination is as inappropriate as your interview technique.
28:31D.S. Nixon, I'm not sure.
28:33We've been following you.
28:34Road ahead, bending to the right.
28:35Telephone boxes on the right-hand side.
28:38Ball in road, so slowing down.
28:39Mirrors easing off and coming down the gears to stop.
28:43He's got it
28:47Checking he's gone
28:49Suspect on foot
28:54Heading for the estate ahead of us
28:56There's woods behind that estate
28:58We don't want to lose them in there, do we?
29:00A piece of Casper
29:00Seat
29:02Follow the road around, take the first left
29:04We'll see if we can hit them off
29:05Mirrors, checking my speed, having been bad
29:10Junction on the left
29:12Take the next turn, I've got the left, please
29:15Received to Mirrors
29:16Started to slip down through the gears
29:19And turning
29:33The more you struggle, the more learnt
29:35Good work, PC Casper
29:37You can add him over to local division
29:39Sounds like the beer in a minute
29:40Not exactly standard practice for a final drive
29:44You've been a bit delicate today, PC I, Hanson
29:50I wonder why
29:52I think it's fair to say you won't be taking your final drive
29:55My client
30:01Had an extremely unhappy childhood
30:04A fact of which you were well aware
30:08In your interview you seemed to feast upon it
30:11Is that not so?
30:13No, sir
30:14It is not
30:15Did you not refer to how he and his mother were abandoned by his father?
30:23How my client's mother worked as a prostitute?
30:26I don't think what I said should be taken out of context
30:29I suggest the context was that you raised these acutely embarrassing issues for my client
30:34In order to humiliate him
30:36No, not at all
30:37I was encouraging him to talk about his background
30:42To explore his state of mind
30:44So
30:44You consider yourself pretty good at it, do you?
30:48Interviewing
30:49My senior officers think I am
30:51But not, according to my notes
30:53Good enough to be accepted by the Met's own profiling team
30:57You were turned down by them, were you not?
31:01Yes
31:01Yes
31:02The point is
31:04You forced my client
31:06Into a painful regression
31:09Your interview technique
31:12Is nothing less than a form of psychological torture
31:15Torture might get confessions
31:18But it doesn't necessarily get the truth
31:21She was busy with her punters
31:23Those punters tore at her like animals
31:26And she loved it
31:27Your words, I believe
31:30Yes
31:32Under such conditions
31:36My client would have confessed to anything
31:39Because in this instance
31:41D.S. Nixon
31:42He were nothing less than his torturer
31:44Thanks for meeting me
32:02I'm sure I'm bothering
32:03You and Bruce Malcolm aren't friends, eh?
32:07I'll have a fresh orange
32:09And whatever he's having
32:11Thanks
32:11How do you mean?
32:13Let's just say
32:14He isn't the kind of journalist
32:15I like to rank myself alongside
32:17I hope the story you're working on
32:19Isn't one of his brainwaves
32:21No
32:23No, this is one of my own
32:25And my chance to get out of the daily news
32:27Like I said on the phone
32:29I'm not sure there's much I can help you with
32:31Really?
32:34The way I hear it
32:35The journalists who wrote the military obituaries
32:38Know more about the Gulf War than anyone
32:39That's certainly a trick
32:41I am
32:42Thanks
32:48I also understand that if
32:50Someone wanted some information
32:53You were the kind of person that most people in the military
32:56Would be willing to talk to
32:58So
32:59You understand that we're quite selective
33:02About who we choose to share that information with
33:05I know that you invited
33:11Dr. Hugh Wallace
33:12Onto your investigation team
33:14That's right
33:16I'd like to emphasize that Dr. Hugh Wallace
33:18Is a civilian
33:20Not a police officer
33:21So what made you want him on board?
33:24Dr. Wallace is a geographical profiler
33:26We needed his expertise
33:27Well, prosecution haven't informed me
33:31Of their intention of calling Dr. Wallace
33:33To give evidence
33:34So, uh
33:35What's your opinion on it?
33:38He's very knowledgeable in his field
33:40In his field?
33:42Well, you've worked closely with Dr. Wallace
33:44Do you find him trustworthy?
33:48Sorry, I
33:48I don't understand the relevance of this
33:51Your Honour
33:51Dr. Wallace discovered a knife
33:53Which is purported to have been the assault weapon
33:55Surely it's reasonable
33:57For the court to glean some information
33:59As to the reliability of this individual?
34:04So, DS Nixon
34:06What is your personal opinion of Dr. Wallace?
34:11Earlier when I mentioned what I wore for the interview
34:14You said you had more important questions for me
34:18Do your more important questions relate to my personal opinion?
34:22Or my professional opinion?
34:25Professionally speaking
34:26Neither my senior officer, my colleagues or myself
34:30Had any reason to distrust Dr. Wallace in this case
34:34What would you say if I told you that this information would be used in the public's interest?
34:46That it would help uncover criminal activity?
34:49I'd say you'd overestimated my sense of moral duty
34:52I'm not talking about faceless corporate corruption or tax dodging here
34:59I'm talking about innocent victims
35:02People who have been shot
35:04And I suppose it would make a great story as well
35:09Okay, I admit I've got my own reasons too
35:13But this is a story that needs to be told
35:17Not so that I can get my name on the front page
35:19But to get this man locked up before he can do any more harm
35:23D.S. Nixon
35:37You'd agree with me, would you not
35:40That as a civilian
35:41Dr. Wallace wouldn't be as familiar with the rules of preserving evidence
35:46As a trained police officer
35:49Yes, I'd agree with that
35:51Which is why it's fortunate
35:54Two police officers were also present
35:56When Dr. Wallace discovered the knife
35:58So they could make sure the evidence was properly preserved
36:02Under forensic examination
36:05DNA traces from both the defendant
36:08And one of his victims were discovered on the knife
36:10So there's no doubt in my mind
36:12That this was the weapon that the defendant used
36:14When he attacked and raped his victims
36:17It's those DNA samples from that knife
36:21That led to your client being charged
36:23D.S. Nixon, you're going off on a tangent of your own
36:25Please stick to the question
36:26No, I'm answering your question
36:28Earlier you wondered why your client was in the dock
36:31The answer's simple
36:33Because he committed the crimes he's accused of
36:37Well?
36:50It seems you struck gold
36:51These two men you mentioned, David Kent and Jason Hardy
36:55Their powers did cross
36:56Kent did a tour of duty in the Gulf
36:59At the same time as the Special Boat Service
37:01And Jason Hardy was in the Special Boat Service
37:04That's not all
37:04It was an incident
37:05Civilians were wrongly targeted
37:07And Kent and Hardy weren't happy with the way the military handled it
37:09Even though SBS aren't exactly keen on publicity
37:12Hardy had his photo taken with Kent for some foreign rag
37:15Does that help?
37:18It does if you can get me that photograph
37:19Well, PC Casper
37:35A little bit of a confidence problem with your commentary
37:38But you more than make up for that in other areas
37:41Overall, you averaged two, so you've passed
37:43PC Kapoor
37:45In live pursuit, you were calm, efficient
37:49And most importantly, you got your priorities right
37:52Safety first
37:53Top marks, you're a natural
37:55Come back in a couple of years and take your advanced
37:58Good luck to you
37:59Thanks, Sarge
38:00Yes!
38:01Well done
38:02Come on, ladies
38:04It's time to celebrate
38:06I'd like to, but
38:10Duty calls
38:12I'm going to take her home
38:14She's looking a bit fragile
38:15Don't you think she could do with a nice sit down first
38:18In a pub?
38:21Another time
38:21I'm going to hold you to that
38:22And you can buy me that curry you promised
38:25Come on, Amber
38:33It's not the end of the world
38:34You can always retake it
38:36Fat chance
38:37It's not like Ackland's going to let me do it again, is it?
38:41How'd you do anyway?
38:42Oh
38:44Just scraped it
38:46Well done
38:48Marilyn, have you seen PC Dunbar?
38:59She's doing some work for me
39:00No, I haven't seen the bridges
39:01Everything all right?
39:11Why didn't you tell us that you worked in Chris Payne's garage and that he was a mate of yours?
39:15I thought everyone knew, he's on my application
39:17And it never occurred to you to remind us?
39:19No
39:19Sarge, sorry
39:21Should have
39:21See, it doesn't do much for your neutrality in this situation, does it?
39:25With all due respect, Sarge, Mr. Ramon started the trouble by refusing to pay his bill
39:29It still didn't matter if I knew Chris or not
39:30Yes, it did
39:31You see, if that had happened in any other garage, you wouldn't have been there, would you?
39:36Because no other garage owner would have had your mobile phone number, would they?
39:40I suppose not
39:40Why didn't you call in the trouble when it all flared up?
39:48I thought I could handle it
39:49You see, that I really do believe
39:51Have you got any other problems with Mr. Ramon?
39:56No, Sarge, why should I?
39:57Because he says you were being less than helpful
39:59I was doing my best
40:00What?
40:01And that means laughing at him while he's being racially abused, does it?
40:04I didn't
40:04The only time I laughed was because of Red
40:06Sometimes he can seem a bit funny
40:07Your garage owner friend is being charged with racially aggravated criminal damage
40:17I thought the racial stuff was both ways
40:19Yeah, I know you did, I've read your report
40:22And what I said didn't change anything then?
40:24Nothing
40:25You see, your mate was so stupid, he went ballistic while there were two real police officers present
40:31Whose testimony can be relied upon, if you know what I mean
40:34Not sure I do
40:35Listen to me, Colin
40:37Your friend may be racist
40:40But there is no way any police officer or PCSO like your good self can be
40:45So the next time you put on this uniform
40:49You are neutral
40:50Even if it involves your grandmother
40:52Yes, Sarge
40:53Get out
40:53Oh, one more thing
40:55If I so much as get a sniff of anything racist coming out of you
40:59And you are out of here, do you understand?
41:01Dunbar, what can I do you for?
41:09I found it
41:10I found the link between Gabriel and the sniper
41:12It's messy, we've done it
41:14Hang on, um, have you got the evidence?
41:18No, not yet, but I will by tomorrow lunchtime
41:21But this is what we've been waiting for
41:23And Gabriel's not going to wrinkle out of it this time
41:26You'll see
41:28Yeah, it says here he was a high risk
41:36Hang on
41:37Yeah
41:37I'll call you back
41:41What are you doing?
41:45Oh, I came to see you
41:46I need to talk to you
41:47You shouldn't be in this, Nick
41:48You shouldn't be in that uniform
41:49You said you would go
41:50No, you said I would
41:51And I will
41:52I just need a bit longer
41:53Listen
41:55Bruce knows that I'm working on a different story
41:58And
41:59Well, I've nailed it
42:01I have no idea what you're talking about
42:02No one ever has to know that I was ever an undercover journalist
42:05The story I have
42:07It's much bigger
42:09And that's going to be his front page
42:11Okay
42:11So what is this big scoop?
42:17You're just going to have to trust me
42:18Oh, come on, Andrea
42:19Neil, please listen to me
42:21I'm serious
42:22We're off the hook
42:24You do want us to be together, don't you?
42:32Please trust me on this
42:33By lunchtime tomorrow
42:35All our worries will be over
42:37I don't know
42:39I don't know what to believe anymore
42:44No more lies
42:46No more secrets
42:48I mean, this will be a clean slate for both of us
42:51I won't lose you, Neil
42:56I refuse to
42:58I love you too much
43:06Let's get out of here
43:14Um
43:22I've picked a hotel
43:25Okay
43:30Meet at the car
43:33I'm off soon
43:48I'll see you back up
43:49Oh, yeah, yeah
43:50Well, don't work too hard
43:53Look, June
44:00I know we've been through a bad patch
44:03And I'm not expecting everything to get back to normal
44:06Just because you've moved back home
44:08And I don't want to hassle you
44:09But I just wanted you to know
44:10You can have as much time
44:12And as much space as you need
44:14Great
44:16Let's start right now, shall we?
44:21Okay
44:22See you later
44:30Well, it's a rare event
44:37Somebody gave him Michael Sherwood QC to run around
44:39Superintendent O'Kara
44:41Sherwood dug his own grave, Gov
44:43If he hadn't given me such a hard time earlier on
44:45I'd have never been ready for those questions about you
44:48Problem?
44:49I'm not sure yet
44:50Yeah?
44:57Um, Sergeant
44:58You don't know where Roger is, do you?
44:59Er, well, he was at court
45:01But I've had to send him down to the coal lane
45:02Why?
45:03That's right, sir
45:04Well, there's nothing it can't keep, you know
45:05Well, I spoke to PC Valentine about five minutes ago
45:08He said it'd be about an hour
45:09If that's any help
45:09Oh, well, cheers
45:11He's coming back for another hot date, is he?
45:14Oh
45:15You've got yourself into a right mess
45:16Yes, and it's my mess
45:18So keep your nose out of it
45:19Mr Malcolm
45:29What can we do for you?
45:31You know we're covering the rape trial
45:34Yeah, we know that
45:35The reporter I've got in court
45:37He's had a hot tip-off
45:38Bruce, it's been a long day
45:40It's about to get longer
45:41Michael Sherwood's calling one of your PCs as a witness
45:45And do you know who he's calling?
45:47Of course
45:47Well?
45:51Andrea Dunbar
45:52PC Dunbar's a very capable officer
45:54I'm sure she'll make a very reliable witness
45:56Oh, dear
45:57You haven't heard, have you?
45:59But then again, you haven't read tomorrow's front page
46:01A present for you
