01:46Well done
01:47The Independent Police Complaints Commission
01:55have been informed

01:57from the Directorate of Professional Standards
01:59that want to interview you
02:00so you're going to have to pull yourself together
02:02Yvonne are you listening to me?
02:05Yes mum
02:06Sorry

02:08they're going to be asking you lots of questions
02:09that need answers
02:10Let's get you back to the station
02:13I want the FME to lock you over
02:15We need to get your uniform off to forensics
02:17Come on
02:17Let her run with my husband
02:25for a little slack
02:27Did you really think
02:29you've been away with it
02:30he's my husband
02:31Do I understand that?
02:32He's my husband
02:33Get him off of me
02:35Name
02:35Atkins
02:36Janice Atkins
02:38Mrs. Janice Atkins
02:40You are?
02:40She's the tart
02:41who's been having it off with my husband
02:43Speak when you're spoken to
02:44or you'll both be arrested for a break
02:45It's Rebecca Bishop
02:46and I am not a tart
02:47I'll have your say in a minute
02:48Did you start this?
02:51She started it by sleeping with my husband
02:52I mean this now
02:53the argument
02:54Well I came in here
02:55I saw her at a table
02:56I started shouting and screaming
02:57I mean calling me all the names under the sun
02:59You're fine
02:59We'll take it outside
03:00Yes
03:01I called her a few names
03:02Yes
03:03I threw a glass of wine at her
03:04But I only pushed her
03:06when she pushed me
03:07We weren't going to just sit there
03:08and let you slack me off
03:09was I?
03:10And I wasn't going to sit at home
03:11and watch you ruin my marriage
03:13Janice
03:14Your romantic dinner's been cancelled
03:16What are you doing here?
03:17How did you know?
03:18She read the text message on your mobile
03:19I think you'd better come to
03:22Miss Atkins
03:24I think you'd better sort this out outside
03:25Good work DC I'm around
03:32There you are
03:33MIT are hoping to charge Scott Manette
03:35with the murder of his first wife this evening
03:36And what about the abduction of your second wife?
03:39Well
03:39that depends on what Honey tells them
03:41when she's interviewed
03:42Do you think she went with him
03:43with her own free will?
03:44I'll reserve judgement until tomorrow
03:46I've asked her to come in to explain herself
03:48Next crisis
03:50Lee Michael Thomas
03:51aged 18
03:53Six months for theft
03:54suspended for two years
03:55another conviction
03:56and he's looking at prison
03:57Well
03:58that would explain why he tried to escape from Yvonne
04:00if not the use of her asp
04:01Well she insists she struck him in self defence
04:04Have the next of Kim been informed?
04:05Yep
04:05I've talked to the mother
04:06and sent a car around there
04:07to take her to hospital
04:08Right
04:09I'd better get down there
04:10You know it would be nice
04:12just once
04:12if we could get through a whole day
04:14without facing grief from the public
04:15about the actions of our officers
04:16She pushed me
04:20that must be assault
04:20And you were putting her hair
04:21which would also be assault
04:22Excuse me
04:23I've just had a word with the manager
04:25I pay the damages
04:26he doesn't want to press charges
04:27But
04:27what has to start?
04:29I didn't cause any damage
04:30She's the one who knocked over the table
04:32let her pay for it
04:32Mrs Atkins
04:33No
04:33No way
04:34She's had enough of our money already
04:36Me?
04:36Yes
04:37Thousands of pounds have gone missing from our account
04:39and it damn well hasn't been spent on me
04:40Well maybe now's the time you ask yourself why
04:42Mrs Atkins
04:43Rebecca
04:43Perhaps it's because I have more in common with him than you
04:45or maybe it's because I'm younger
04:47better looking
04:47Right I see
04:48No it's time she heard the truth
04:49What?
04:50That he's been seduced by some greedy little gold digger?
04:52Look this is not the time
04:53Paul it's quite obvious
04:54She's only after one thing
04:55and take it from me
04:56it's not your sparkling personality
04:58So he spends money on me
05:00so what?
05:00I'm worth it
05:01Just shut up for a minute
05:01Don't you dare back down on me now Paul
05:03Come on
05:04You promised me
05:05You said we'd move in together
05:06Yeah I know what I said
05:07I think you need to sit down and talk about this
05:09No no no
05:10You either come with me now Paul
05:12or not at all
05:12Okay
05:13Simple choice
05:14It's her or me
05:15I'll call you
05:18Don't bother
05:20Don't bother
05:20I'm going to be calling you
05:22I'm going to be reminding you
05:23of all the things you promised me
05:24all the things you said
05:25If you still want him
05:26then Mrs Atkins
05:27you're welcome to him
05:28They're taking him out to head to me
05:40Any idea what's wrong with him yet?
05:41Oh he looks like a fractured skull
05:42There
05:44He's closed
05:44Thanks Nick
05:45Is Yvonne alright?
05:48Yeah she's a bit roughed up
05:49She'll be fine
05:49I'm Sharon Thomas
05:52I was told my son Lee was here
05:54But he is
05:54Some woman inspector phoned
05:56said he'd been involved in an incident
05:57Well what's an incident?
05:59I mean has he been involved in a fight or something?
06:01Mrs Thomas
06:01I'm Superintendent O'Kara
06:03I need to speak to you
06:05Can we use the reality of the room?
06:06Yeah
06:06This way
06:08He's not dead is he?
06:12Please tell me he's not dead
06:14He's had a serious injury
06:17But how?
06:18What happened?
06:19In here please
06:19I thought you could do with a cuppa
06:38Cheers
06:39I um
06:42I spoke to Tony at the hospital
06:44Lee Thomas has been admitted into intensive care
06:48Oh no
06:49He's got a fractured skull
06:51And some kind of internal bleeding
06:53In his brain?
06:57Yeah
06:58I think so
06:58What's important now
07:02Is that you get this whole thing down on paper
07:04For the DPS
07:05While the details are still fresh in your mind
07:07Can I want?
07:08I can't even think straight
07:09Yes you can
07:10They're going to want your notes tonight
07:12So that they can interview you tomorrow
07:14I only hit him once Targe
07:15I know
07:16Well I had to
07:17He was choking me
07:18He was trying to push me against
07:19What?
07:19Look you just have to try and treat this
07:20Just like any other incident
07:22It's not like any other incident is it?
07:25What if he dies?
07:28Don't even go there
07:29Mum?
07:45Afternoon
07:46Thank you very much
07:56Just so as you know
07:58The DPS have called Yvonne in for an interview at 3.30
08:00And Tony half an hour after that
08:02I don't want to do something Bonnie and Clyde
08:04Honey's due in to see the superintendent late this afternoon
08:07And MIT have charged Scott with Karen Burnett's murder
08:09So
08:11How are you feeling today?
08:14Sometimes I think it'd be better if I let this cancer run its course
08:17When was the last time you had a day off?
08:19I can't afford to take a day off
08:20There's too much to do
08:21You say that every day
08:23But it's not every day that two of my officers are being interviewed by the DPS
08:27Which means it's effectively out of your hands then, doesn't it?
08:30Now I need to talk to Tony, you know
08:32Try and get a clearer picture of what happened last night
08:34Well when you've done that you can go home
08:36I'll cover for you
08:37You shouldn't have come in today
08:38Yep, okay mum, on me way
08:41Black coffee, two sugars
08:42No cigarette, but biscuit
08:44Dan, I need a word
08:51Gary Best tells me that you still haven't given him the statement over that knife incident the other day
08:55Er, no, I know, Sarge
08:57So what's the problem?
08:58There's no problem
08:58So get it done, today
08:59Sarge
09:00Whatever statement you make, I'll back you out, okay?
09:06Sure
09:06Of course
09:07I thought in return you might like to do me a little favour
09:11Oh, there'd have to be a catch
09:12Well you know those property lists we're supposed to have cleared by the end of the week
09:16What about it?
09:18Come on Amber, I've got my own stuff to do
09:20That's not much to ask
09:21Well look, if you don't want me to back you up, then my life would be a whole lot easier
09:25If anyone finds out you lied about that
09:28I didn't lie
09:29You got it wrong and put it out over the radio
09:31Oh look, there's Leela
09:34I wonder what she'd say about it
09:36I'm not all right
09:36Shall we ask her?
09:37Leela?
09:38I said all right
09:38Hi
09:39What's up?
09:40Hi, I just wanted to say how lucky you were to be teamed up with Dan again today
09:44Because if there's any trouble, he'll be there to protect you, but you're Dan
09:48What's all that about?
09:54You know Amber
09:55Oh yeah, but...
09:56Seriously, Leela
09:56Mr Paul Atkins in the front office wants to talk to you
09:59That's the husband from last night
10:02Perhaps he wants to take you out for dinner
10:04Mr Atkins?
10:13Oh, sorry, I didn't get my sleep last night
10:15I guess you had a lot of talking to do last night
10:18Yeah, talking, crying, apologising
10:20Did you get it sorted out?
10:23Well, let's just say that my wife made you take me back
10:26There's something that I didn't mention last night
10:30I should have reported it months ago
10:31But because I thought things might turn out differently
10:35Well, read it yourself, you'll see what I mean
10:38Mr Atkins
10:42£500 cash
10:44Four o'clock this afternoon
10:46Little bin next to the bench in Luther Gardens
10:49If it's not there, your wife finds out
10:53If you tell the police, your wife finds out
10:55If you do anything apart from deliver the money, your wife finds out
10:58Did his wife find out from this letter?
11:01She did her own detective work
11:02Bank statements and text messages on his mobile
11:05Gov
11:06What?
11:07Come and have a look at this
11:07Why do blokes always think they can get away with it, huh?
11:10So my account?
11:12So how many payments did he make?
11:14This would have been the fifth
11:15Right, so he shelled out two grand and he's ended up right back where he started
11:18Why has he gone back to his wife, anyway?
11:20I think she persuaded him the mistress was only after his money
11:23Well, she's got a point
11:24So what do you reckon, Gov?
11:26It's worth setting up an hubbo, see if it is the mistress who's done it
11:28That's probably your best bet of catching numbers behind it
11:30You're going to have to move fast, though
11:31The money drops must be happening in, what, under two hours?
11:34Jo, will you take care of the video surveillance?
11:35I'll get down to Luther Gardens, set up an observation point, yeah
11:38I'll speak to Uniform, see if they can spare any relief to help out
11:40We'll have a quick meeting with Mr Atkins
11:42Then we'll meet back here for a briefing, yeah?
11:45Thank you, Bob
11:45Oh, and you know and I know that none of this would have happened if you'd kept Lee Thomas handcuffed
11:50Yeah
11:52We just didn't see the need, Mum
11:54I mean, up until the moment his cousin arrived at the scene
11:56Well, he'd been fairly cooperative
11:58A bit jumpy, but that's all
11:59And that's when he did a runner?
12:02Leaving the rear window open wide enough of him to open the door
12:05That's my fault
12:05Mm, sloppy, Tony
12:07Yeah, I know, Mum
12:08We didn't think that he'd do a runner and we certainly didn't believe he'd become violent
12:13I mean, up until that point he seemed a pretty harmless kid, to be honest
12:16Yeah, but he's a very ill kid now, so let's hope everyone comes out of this all right
12:20Good luck with the DPS interview
12:23Thanks, Mum
12:25It has to be someone who knows your name, knows where you live, and knows that you're married
12:36Now, you're probably not going to like this, but there is someone who knows all that
12:40Your mistress
12:41Rebecca?
12:43No
12:43The blackmail letter started arriving only a few weeks after you started seeing her
12:47She wouldn't do that
12:48Maybe she mentioned the affair to someone else
12:51We agreed to keep it a secret
12:52Mr. Atkins
12:54She was a single woman embarking on what she thought was going to be a serious relationship
13:00She might have said something to a friend
13:01Women confide in each other
13:03What, there's anyone waiting to find out?
13:06Better get going
13:06I just can't believe Rebecca's involved in all this
13:10What are you doing?
13:16We're meant to be on High Street Patrol
13:18I'll be with you in a sec
13:19How much property have you got to clear?
13:22You've only been here a few weeks
13:24Don't leave it
13:24That's not your list
13:26Don't be daft, of course it is
13:28Amber bought in all this exercise equipment
13:30I remember her complaining how heavy it was
13:33I owe her a favour, that's all
13:35For what?
13:38Don't matter
13:39Why is she making such a big thing about this knife incident the other day?
13:47She just last winding me up
13:48But she was there
13:49She knows what happened
13:51Is there a reason
13:56Why you haven't given Gary a statement yet?
14:02Dan, if there's something you two are keeping secret
14:04You could get into a lot of trouble
14:05You think I don't know that?
14:14Did something happen?
14:15Between you and the bloke with the knife?
14:17Leela, there was no knife, alright?
14:20But everyone thinks that there was...
14:21Yeah, tell me about it
14:22What are you going to do?
14:30Amber thinks we can cover it up
14:31By making a false report?
14:34Come on, Dan
14:35The minute you make it official, that's it
14:37Look, it's either that or tell Inspector Gold
14:38I don't fancy that much either
14:40You've seen her today
14:42She's like Godzilla on crack
14:44Come on
14:45Let's go
14:47Right
14:50They went to restaurants and wine bars on Magpie Street
14:54Burkhold Street and Wharf Crescent
14:56Pretty much all of them are within walking distance of Luther Gardens
14:58We can't move any of them out
15:00Right, Joe's set up an OP in this building here
15:02Okay, we've got exits here, here and here that need to be covered
15:05Steve, you're in the gardens themselves
15:07Who is it we're expecting?
15:09Well, at the moment, our best bet is a Rebecca Bishop
15:11She's in her thirties, blonde hair, medium build
15:13You really think his mistress is behind blackmail?
15:16Well, don't you?
15:17I'm keeping an open mind
15:18For all we know, she might really have been into the relationship
15:21Well, come on, Susie
15:22It's got to be ten years her senior, Annie's muted
15:24This doesn't necessarily mean she was only after his money
15:27All right
15:27Didn't have you down as the hopeless romantic
15:29Why?
15:31Because I dare to believe that two people might actually have feelings for one another
15:34Hardly romantic
15:35It is and feels, Bill
15:37What'd you say?
15:39Well, you're not going to deny it, are you?
15:40Everyone knows the score when it comes to you and commitment
15:42Now, now, boys
15:44Let's save the sibling quarrels for another day
15:46There you go, Sarge
15:48Five hundred quid
15:49You, get on with it
15:52Thanks
15:59All right
16:01Have you been interviewed yet?
16:04They're keeping me waiting while they polish the thumb screws
16:06I'd be as bad as that
16:07Anyway, there'd be a Fed rep in there
16:09Hold your hand
16:10Yeah
16:10Look, we haven't had a chance to talk about what happened yesterday
16:15You told me what happened, sir
16:16No, but we've been there before, haven't we?
16:21I'm sorry if a sharp goes through something like this
16:23I'm talking about me
16:24It's not the first time you've seen me using my asp on someone
16:26You mean the charming Mr Tennyson, our favourite local drug dealer
16:31This is totally different
16:32What happened to Lee was done in self-defence
16:35Even so, I put him in intensive care
16:37Last night, yeah, it looked pretty bad
16:41Today, he's stable
16:44He's getting better
16:45Even when he's going to pull through
16:47Doesn't change what happened, though, does it?
16:49Lee Thomas brought this on himself
16:51If you deliberately set out to hurt him
16:54Then you wouldn't be wrestling with your conscience right now
16:56And I certainly wouldn't be giving you the time of day
16:57Is he Hemingway?
17:01Go on
17:01Just tell him the truth
17:02We'll be fine
17:04Yeah
17:05So why does the blackmailer want to drop the money off here?
17:16I mean, how does he know no one's going to pick it up first?
17:19And why is this location a convenient place?
17:22Well, it's overlooked on all four sides
17:23And you or she might be watching us as we speak
17:27Yeah, probably in the same building as our OP
17:29How's it going up there, Jo?
17:31You make a lovely couple
17:32A lovely couple of what?
17:35No comment
17:36Keep on the good work
17:38Here we go
17:42All right, the money's in the bin
17:55Keep your eyes peeled, everyone
17:56And you found him hiding behind the wheelie bins at the back of Slate Road
18:03I radioed Tony my location
18:05And then I think I said something like
18:09What did you want to go and do that for, Lee?
18:11Meaning, why did you run away?
18:14I had my handcuffs out at this point
18:16And I said, you haven't done yourself any favours
18:19Come on
18:20And I really thought he was going to give himself up
18:23He came towards me
18:25And then he grabbed me
18:26And pulled me forward
18:28And I lost my balance
18:29He got his arm around my neck
18:32In a kind of chokehold
18:34Can you describe that for us?
18:36Yeah
18:37He was above
18:39And slightly behind me
18:42He had his right arm around my neck
18:44And he was tightening it with his left arm
18:47I was shouting at him to let go
18:50But he wouldn't
18:50He was trying to push me against the wall
18:53And his arm was getting tighter
18:55And I couldn't breathe
18:56I managed to rack my asp
19:00And I tried to hit his legs
19:02But the angle was all wrong
19:03And I couldn't reach
19:04So that's when I went like that
19:08So you knew you'd be striking him on his head
19:13In a red area
19:15He was choking me, sir
19:17I didn't have any choice
19:19And you only hit him once
19:22Yes, sir
19:24Are you certain of that?
19:26Positive
19:26That's all it took
19:29He sort of groaned
19:32Let me go
19:33And then he collapsed to the ground
19:35And then PC Stamp joined you?
19:40Yeah
19:40Thank you, PC Hemingway
19:44Yeah, I appreciate that was difficult for you
19:46That'll be all for now
19:47Right
19:49There's a guy hanging around the entrance near me
19:59He's been back and forth a couple of times
20:01He's IC1
20:02Dark hair, dark suit
20:04Yeah, I got him
20:06You getting this, Joe?
20:08Most definitely
20:09Are you ready, Steve?
20:17Just give me the word
20:18Right, that's it
20:23Get him, Steve
20:23Hang on, Sarge
20:25Just move, get him
20:27Hey!
20:28Set out, please!
20:29What are you doing?
20:30Right
20:30I'm DS Hunter, Sunhill CID
20:32I'm arresting your suspicion of blackmail
20:34Now, wait
20:35You do not have to say anything
20:36But it may harm your defence
20:38If you do not mention
20:38When questioned
20:39Something which you later rely on in court
20:41Anything you do say
20:42May be given in evidence
20:43But I'm the one being blackmailed
20:46What?
20:48Envelope
20:48Look in the envelope
20:49Right, all units
20:55Stay where you are
20:55Come on, then, please
20:58Can you tell us why Lee Thomas wasn't wearing handcuffs?
21:06We didn't think he was a wrist, sir
21:07Obviously, that was a mistake on our part
21:09Which was compounded by leaving the rear window of the area car open
21:12He wanted to have a cigarette
21:14One way or another, we'd spent a lot of the day with Lee
21:17I suppose we thought we got to know him
21:20When you say most of the day, what do you mean exactly?
21:23According to your notes and the notes of PC Hemingway
21:26You didn't arrest him till 1300
21:28No, that's right, sir
21:30We had encountered him earlier
21:34Encountered?
21:36At Canley Cemetery
21:37Yvonne had gone there to lay some flowers
21:40At a friend's grave that morning
21:42She'd dropped her purse
21:43We'd gone back to look for it
21:45Lee Thomas had found it and returned it to her
21:48And what was he doing at the cemetery?
21:51Stealing flowers
21:51From the graves?
21:53Yes
21:54So why didn't you arrest him then?
21:56Because we didn't realise that that's what he'd been doing until he'd gone
22:00Had he also stolen the flowers that PC Hemingway had left for her friend?
22:05Yes, sir
22:06And what did PC Hemingway think about that?
22:09She wasn't best pleased
22:11Does that mean she was angry with him?
22:13I would say that she was more upset
22:17She was still grieving for a friend
22:19So she was determined to catch up with him?
22:24Well, we both were
22:25Pretty loathing to do
22:27Did PC Hemingway let her personal investment in the case affect her conduct at all?
22:34Well, like I say, sir
22:36I mean, she was angry
22:37But what?
22:39But I don't think that had any bearing on what happened later
22:42You can't say for certain, though
22:43Because you weren't there
22:44No, sir, I wasn't
22:47But then you're not in a position to comment
22:49Thank you, PC Stamp
22:52That'll be your
22:52The Wanderer returns
23:16I hope Superintendent O'Caro is as pleased to see me as you are
23:20Well, he's waiting, so you'll soon find out
23:23Mum
23:39Hang on
23:42You haven't seen this, all right?
23:52Is it your cancer treatment?
23:54I had an aunt who had chemotherapy
23:55And she used to pick up all the time
23:57I had?
23:59I didn't mean it like that
24:00Can I get you a glass of water or anything?
24:06I don't let you fuss
24:06All right?
24:08I don't let you fuss
24:08Sorry
24:14Look, please
24:15What's her problem today?
24:20Going around snapping at everyone
24:21I know what she's like
24:23You lot might have to put up with it, but I don't
24:25I'm police staff, not a police officer
24:27Just leave it
24:28She's got a lot on her plate at the moment
24:30What with honey and Yvonne and everything
24:32Besides the superintendent
24:33You don't see him barging people out of the way
24:35I'm going to make a complaint to him, actually
24:37No, don't
24:39She's got other stuff as well
24:40Like what?
24:42I can't say
24:43Women's problems
24:44Don't joke about it, JT
24:45It's not funny
24:46Is it really that bad?
24:50Pretty bad, yeah
24:51I mean, it's not life-threatening, though, is it?
24:58It's not cancer, is it?
25:02I didn't tell you that
25:03Is she going to be all right?
25:05All people should know is she deserves our support
25:08I think at the moment she just wants to get on with her job
25:10It's all very well being brave and acting tough, but
25:12I don't think anyone should go through something like that on their own
25:15Mr. West, £500 cash, 4.15 this afternoon
25:23Little bin next to the bench in Luther Gardens
25:25If it's not there, your boss finds out
25:27If you tell the police, your boss finds out
25:29If you do anything apart from deliver the money, your boss finds out
25:32I think we can safely say that my boss is going to find out
25:34Not unless we catch a blackmailer first
25:36Do you think you can?
25:37You haven't done very well so far
25:38Look, we've still got the drop site under surveillance
25:42The more information you give us, the sooner we might be able to make an arrest
25:45You could start by telling us what you're being blackmailed over
25:49If it was something I wanted made public, I wouldn't have been in Luther Gardens in the first place
25:53Anything you say will be kept in the strictest confidence
25:56Look, would you find it easier to talk if DC Sim left the room?
25:59I'm not easily shocked, Mr. West
26:05Because of the hours I work and the people I work with
26:09I don't get much of an opportunity to find myself a girlfriend
26:13So I hire them for the night, if you catch my drift
26:16Prostitutes?
26:17I prefer the term escorts, I think they would too
26:19I make a phone call to a professional service
26:22They send someone suitable, we meet, have dinner
26:25And, well, I think we can probably draw a veil over the rest of it
26:31Do you know a woman called Rebecca Bishop?
26:34Girls tend not to do authentic names
26:37Okay, so what's this got to do with your boss?
26:41It's not as if you're doing this during office hours, is it?
26:44I work for an American bank in the city
26:46Very moral
26:47I'm absolutely certain they wouldn't approve
26:50Surely what you do in your private time is your own business
26:53I'd rather not take the chance
26:55So where do you entertain these women?
27:00Wine bars, restaurants
27:01Why don't you take them home when you're finished?
27:03I usually check us into a hotel
27:04The other black male victim that we're investigating
27:07Also stayed at a couple of hotels in the area
27:09Let me run them by you
27:11The De Lancie Hotel
27:13What about the Bessborough Court Hotel?
27:17Ever stayed there?
27:18Possibly
27:18Right, is that before or after you received the first black male letter?
27:22I have to check my diary
27:27But I think before
27:29You sure there's nothing else you want to tell us?
27:32Quite sure
27:32Okay
27:34I hope you could list the restaurants and hotels that you visited with the escorts
27:38Before you received black male letters, please
27:40Sure
27:42How long does it take to get a battery?
27:47Guess who I've just seen?
27:48Honey Harmon
27:49She'll be here to see a car
27:50Hope he doesn't give her a hard time
27:52Mr Atkins?
27:55All right?
27:56Yes
27:56I'm just waiting for my wife to collect me
27:58How do you get on down low for gardens?
28:00Wayne, I'm not entirely sure
28:02One of your colleagues did arrest a man
28:03But I don't think that it was a blackmailer
28:05Oh, here she is
28:06I'm sorry, Mrs Atkins, but you can't park here
28:13That's all right
28:13I'm not stopping
28:15Janice?
28:20Erm, what are you doing?
28:22This is what his tart just brought round to my house
28:24You've seen Rebecca?
28:25Yes, and heard what she had to say
28:27You've lied to her almost as much as you've lied to me
28:30Janice, I thought that we sorted all this out last night
28:33Yes, so did I
28:33Until I saw this
28:34And this
28:36And this
28:37You said you'd never spend the night at her flat
28:41You promised me you hadn't
28:43You swore on your life you hadn't
28:45Janice, please
28:47Well, she doesn't want you anymore
28:49And neither do I
28:50This is why keeping secrets gets you
28:59Done
29:00It's all in the statement I've made to the major investigation team, sir
29:09A lot of it's in the statement
29:11Especially the events that took place on the south coast
29:15But I'm more curious about the events in Sun Hill
29:18Specifically
29:19Whether you were abducted by Scott Burnett
29:22Or whether you chose to flee with him
29:23I tried to stop him leaving Sun Hill, sir
29:27I'm not sure that totally answers my question
29:30When Scott admitted to me that he'd killed Karen
29:37I was scared that he was going to kill me too
29:39He wanted to go on the run
29:41And he wasn't prepared to leave without me
29:43But did you try to resist?
29:46I thought the best thing I could do was to go with him
29:48That way he wouldn't see me as a threat
29:50And I thought that I might be able to leave clues for MIT along the way to track us
29:54So when you used the cash machine and were filmed by the CCTV, that was deliberate?
29:58I knew they'd both be monitored
30:00But Scott was growing suspicious
30:02So if I tried to do anything else, I don't know how he would have reacted
30:05So I took a huge risk putting the battery back in his phone at the beach house
30:11There are still some people who think you have divided loyalties
30:14I expect there are
30:17But I'm here now and Scott's in custody
30:20Doesn't that say it all?
30:22The Vespa Court Hotel is the only place both Gavin West and Paul Atkins have in common
30:30Have you spoken to anyone down there?
30:31Yeah, well I've spoken to the head of security
30:33And he's organising for us to look at the employment records and duty rosters
30:36They employ 110 full-time staff
30:38Plus 60 part-time staff
30:40But they can't all have direct access to their guests, can they?
30:42No, Gavin, not all of them can go out during working hours and collect the money
30:45So how many possible suspects are we talking about?
30:49We were hoping to get it down to double figures
30:50Double figures
30:5199
30:53Well, if you make a start this evening, you might be finished by Christmas
30:56Honey, I've been waiting for you
31:04How are you?
31:06I'm alright
31:07Well, not really
31:09How are you?
31:11You heard?
31:12I heard
31:12Did the DPS give you a hard time?
31:14Not particularly
31:15Considering
31:16MIT gave me a right grilling
31:18Yeah, because you're abducted
31:21Well, that's the story
31:22I had to go with Scott Yvonne
31:27I just couldn't believe he was guilty
31:29I wanted it to be some dreadful mistake
31:32But I had to go with him and buy time
31:34Hear him out
31:35You understand that, don't you?
31:38Yeah
31:39Oh, he's not a bad man, not deep down
31:41But there's no getting away from what he did
31:44It's just so hard to suddenly stop loving somebody
31:49That sounds stupid
31:51No, it doesn't sound stupid at all
31:55Look, can you wait around a bit?
32:01Maybe we can go to the canteen, get some coffee, have a proper chat
32:04Oh, not today, everyone
32:05I just want to get out of this place
32:07Look, give me a ring and we'll meet up in a few days, OK?
32:09Right
32:09Excuse me, Mum
32:12Oh, not the ring
32:13But it's important
32:14What?
32:15Oh, just go and wait, Mum
32:16Just go
32:16I just had a call from DCI Longford
32:22Well?
32:23I told you to be prepared for that interview
32:24I told you to be absolutely sure about what you were saying
32:27And what did you do?
32:28Look, you failed to mention that you had a run-in with Lee Thomas earlier in the day
32:32Well, the cemetery
32:34There was no need to
32:35They only asked me questions about what happened at the scene
32:37And you didn't think that was relevant?
32:39No, Mum
32:39Oh, somebody did
32:41All you had to do was give them the full facts
32:43Now they're wondering what else you've overlooked
32:45Well done
32:46Have you stitched me up with the DPS?
32:54Um...
32:55But you told them about the cemetery
32:56It got mentioned
32:58So now they think that I lied?
33:00Oh, I don't think it's as bad
33:01Oh, thank you, Tony
33:02Thank you very much
33:04Evil
33:04You what?
33:08No, Mum
33:09I'm sorry
33:10Well, this explains you're reluctant to submit your officer's safety report
33:13And speak to CID, didn't it?
33:15It was not deliberate, Mum
33:16Well, I'm fed up with hearing that
33:17It's not deliberate
33:18It's not my fault
33:18The dog ate my homework
33:19Amber asked me if the guy had a knife
33:21And I said maybe
33:23But before I could stop her
33:24She put it out over the radio
33:26What, and you'd lost the power of speeches?
33:28You couldn't get on the radio to correct the mistake?
33:30I'd already screwed up once that day, Mum
33:31I didn't want people thinking I was a complete pro
33:33When that's exactly what you are
33:35I just thought if I played it down
33:38It would go away
33:39Well, where to?
33:40Never Neverland?
33:41It just sort of snowballed, Mum
33:43And then what?
33:44You think you can stroll in here and apologise
33:46And what Auntie Jean is going to say
33:47Never mind, Dan
33:49We all make mistakes
33:50You're not a child, PC Casper
33:53You're supposed to be a grown-up man
33:55Doing a grown-up job
33:56And if you can't do it
33:57You'd better get out of here
33:58It won't happen again, Mum
33:59No, you're absolutely right
34:00It won't happen again
34:01Because if it does
34:02It won't be me you're apologising to
34:03It'll be some blooming magistrate
34:04Now get out of here
34:05Hi
34:18Have you got a minute?
34:22Yeah
34:23Sure
34:24Like, if you're busy
34:25It's alright
34:26Just wanted some company
34:30You know
34:30So, have you heard our lead Thomas is doing?
34:37Serious but stable, I think
34:38What were his chances?
34:40I don't know, Yvonne
34:42I'm not a neurologist
34:43They must have said something
34:45Is it that bad?
34:49What they said, Yvonne
34:52And I quote
34:52Was
34:54Since when have the police
34:55Been issued with sledgehammers?
34:59You know I'd never injure somebody deliberately
35:01Yeah
35:03I know
35:04Do you want a coffee?
35:09No, let's go this way
35:11What's wrong?
35:12Someone you shouldn't meet
35:13Lee Thomas' mother
35:19Sarge, it's got to be someone
35:27Who interacts with the guests
35:28So we can rule out
35:29All this kitchen staff
35:30Maintenance
35:31And Rebecca Bishop
35:33Yeah, alright
35:34It's probably not her
35:35Alright, what do you do
35:39When you come into a hotel like this?
35:41Come in the door
35:42You check in
35:43They take your name and address
35:45But different reception staff
35:47Was working on the days
35:48Our victims stayed here
35:49You ask them
35:50Whether you can get
35:51An early morning alarm call
35:52Maybe a newspaper
35:53They take your bags up to your room
35:55You tip them
35:56Close the door
35:57And then maybe you come down
35:58Later for dinner
35:59What, room service?
36:00Room service could be the link
36:01Or maybe you get some laundry clean
36:05It could be someone
36:06Who goes into the rooms
36:07Who gets a chance
36:08To go through their things
36:09Or it could be somebody
36:10Who makes a point of knowing
36:11Every guest who comes into this hotel
36:13And leaves it
36:13Come on
36:14Where are we going?
36:15I think I might have just
36:16Found a needle in the haystack
36:17I have to take this
36:25Wait for me
36:26Alright
36:26Mrs. Thomas
36:43I just wanted to say
36:45How sorry I am
36:46About your son
36:46And what's it got to do with you?
36:49I'm PC Hemingway
36:50It was me who was trying to arrest him
36:53You meant it was you
36:55Who hit him
36:57Mrs. Thomas
36:58What are you doing here now?
37:00Come to gloat, have you?
37:01It's not like that
37:01Come to finish the job
37:02My boy in a coma
37:04Connected up to all kinds of machines
37:06Tubes going in and out
37:08I know
37:08I'm sorry
37:09And you've got a gall
37:10To come up to me
37:11And introduce yourself
37:12Look, if you just let me try and explain
37:13Do you think I'm interested
37:15In anything you've got to say?
37:17You don't care about me
37:18You don't care about my son
37:20All you care about is yourself
37:22Look, if you just hear me out
37:22You can't beat people up every day
37:24And get away with it
37:26But you hit Miley that little bit too hard
37:28And now you're scared
37:29That you're going to be in trouble
37:30Look, if you just let me speak
37:32Yvonne
37:32Sorry
37:35It's Thomas
37:37Sorry, they won't be able to do the dry cleaning on site
37:59So they must have to contract it out
38:01He must take a nice stroll through Luther Gardens
38:06To drop off and pick up every day
38:07It's just too easy
38:11You're looking for something, mate
38:26You're nicked
38:28Sorry, please
38:30I'm now showing Mr Carter
38:33Exhibit SS3
38:34Small black notebook
38:36This is your notebook, isn't it, Mr Carter?
38:39Yes, it is, yeah
38:40Can you tell us what's written in it?
38:42The names of people who've been guests at the hotel
38:44Now, can you also tell us why their names are written in here?
38:46Well, it helps me remember them
38:48A good doorman makes his business to know his guests
38:51It's not just their names that you write in here, though, is it?
38:55No
38:56I include their addresses as well
38:57Any particular reason why?
39:00Call me thorough
39:01You seem to annotate each entry
39:04For example, next to the name of Mr Paul Atkins, you've written the word wife
39:08Next to the name of Mr Gavin West, you've written the word boss
39:12Like I say, it helps me remember them
39:15Several names here have the word drugs next to them
39:18Rent boy, con man
39:21Yeah, you must be making a fortune
39:23Don't follow you
39:24Look, this is up to you, Mr Carter
39:26Now, you can either sit in the cell
39:28Or we go through that book and contact everyone
39:30We'll go through your bank statements
39:31And we'll search your house
39:32Which could take a considerable amount of time
39:34Or you could just admit it and have done with it
39:37Either way, the end result is going to be the same
39:39Er, what do you think, Sarge?
39:49Er, yeah, great
39:51Who were they for?
39:52Inspector Gold
39:53Did you have a card on them?
39:55Yeah, well, I thought about it
39:56But I decided I wouldn't know what to write on it
39:57So they're from you?
40:00Well, I organise the whip round
40:02But they're from everyone on the relief
40:03I don't know if you want to chip in
40:04I tried to find you earlier
40:05But I don't know where you were
40:07Well, if you're thinking it's her birthday
40:09Then your mum's out
40:10Well, that's the thing, Sarge
40:11It's not her birthday
40:12She's ill
40:12She's got cancer
40:13How did you know?
40:16Now, I know I didn't tell you
40:17And I'm damn sure Inspector Gold didn't tell you
40:19It leaves one other person, doesn't it?
40:22Getting fantasized
40:22She didn't whatever
40:23Get rid of them, dump them, lose them
40:25Because if she finds out
40:26If she finds out, what's
40:27Oh
40:28Who are those for?
40:31Er, these are for you, Mum
40:32From everyone on the relief
40:33Why?
40:35Well, we know you're going through a difficult time
40:37With your illness
40:38My illness?
40:40And although we respect your wish for privacy
40:42We wanted you to know
40:43That we wish you a full and speedy recovery
40:45Thank you very much
40:51Very thoughtful of you
40:52What?
41:03Mum?
41:05Put those in water
41:10Preferably the Thames
41:11Some pay a bit
41:18Some don't pay at all
41:20Others
41:21Well
41:22They keep on paying
41:23So this is just a game to you
41:26So, er, which of my two drops came to you today?
41:31Well, you're the expert
41:32You tell us
41:32Would have been Atkins
41:35It was Atkins
41:36But that's only because his wife found out
41:38Why wouldn't it have been Gavin West?
41:42Too much at stake
41:43What, because he sees prostitutes?
41:46Is that what he told you?
41:47Isn't that why you've been blackmailing him?
41:54Everyone sees prostitutes
41:55So, what has our Mr. West really been up to then?
42:02He works at a bank
42:02Something to do with acquisitions and mergers
42:06He copies commercially sensitive documents
42:09Which he then sells on
42:10He admitted that he was involved in some kind of insider dealing to you
42:15He made the mistake of celebrating one particularly lucrative deal
42:19By having too much to drink
42:20I helped him from his taxi to his room
42:23Arrogant git
42:25But he didn't have enough cash to give me a tip
42:28Suggested I buy shares in an electronics company instead
42:31Did you?
42:33I don't play the stock market
42:34Far too risky
42:36I'd prefer to make money on something I can predict
42:40You didn't want
42:43I had to
42:44I couldn't deal with lying about it anymore
42:45You've just dropped us both right in it
42:47I never asked you to cover for me
42:48I covered for you because I'm your friend
42:50Yeah, a friend who wanted our propertyless clearing
42:52Get in there
42:58Sarge
42:59You know Inspector Gold didn't want anyone finding out about her illness
43:08I only told JT, Sarge, I had to
43:11He was going to make a complaint against her
43:12Oh, so you betrayed her confidence out of the goodness of your heart
43:14Well, I didn't know he was going to make a collection for her
43:17Do you ever admit to anything?
43:19Yes, Sarge, if I'm wrong
43:20Okay
43:20What about you colluding with Dan Casper about a bogus knife incident?
43:26Do you want to admit to that now?
43:28It's never your fault, is it?
43:30It's always somebody else
43:32What am I going to do with you?
43:35I don't know, Sarge
43:36I know exactly what I'm going to do with you
43:40Seeing as though you've been making surprisingly good progress on clearing your property lists
43:44I think it's about time you made amends
43:46There you go
43:48You're going to clear mine
43:49And
43:51Inspector Gold's
43:53Go get out
43:54Hello again, Mr West
44:04I wonder if we can have a word
44:06I'm actually rather busy
44:07Mind set, no
44:08What's all this about?
44:15Don't you want us to go in there?
44:17Let me shut the laptop down first
44:19Is there something we shouldn't see?
44:21I've brought some work home from the office
44:22Sensitive documents, you know
44:24Confidential
44:25I think you should mention that
44:26Stay aside, Mr West
44:27Right, open the door, Mr West
44:31He'll be in there deleting the files
44:32I'll go round the back
44:33Open the door, Mr West
44:35Come here
44:46Stay
44:51Careful with the laptop, Mr West
44:55You wouldn't want to delete those sensitive documents, now, would you?
45:05Leave me alone, Tony
45:09Look, I know you've had a rough 24 hours
45:11Rough?
45:13Let's run through the list
45:14I've been half strangled
45:17I nearly killed someone
45:18I've been let down by a mate
45:20And to round it all off
45:22I tried to apologise to the victim's mother
45:23And ended up screaming at her
45:25Rough, don't cover it
45:27Could be worse
45:31Could it?
45:33You could feel sorry for yourself
45:34I know it was wrong what I said to the DPS
45:39And I'm sorry about that
45:40But they would have found out eventually
45:42And they would have found out
45:44That what happened later had no bearing on that
45:46You sure about that?
45:50Lee Thomas attacked you
45:51You defended yourself
45:52That's all there is to it
45:53I put him in hospital, Tony
45:55He's the only way
45:57So?
46:00I'm sorry to have to tell you this
46:02Tell me what?
46:04Lee Thomas
46:05I've just had a call from the hospital
46:07He died
46:09Next time on The Bill
46:20I love you
46:21Honey harm
46:22But it's over
46:24You've resigned, remember?
46:26Actually
46:26That's why I'm here
