DCI Kapoor has decided to step down.
You know they're setting you up to fail.
Those files I asked for.
In DCI Kapor's... I mean your office, ma'am.
Whoa, shit! I'm here to help you, okay?
One of Crowther's crew, red hair.
Jock Ferguson.
I saw him through the cracks in the wash basket.
There was a police officer?
I heard his voice.
Irish accent, talking about insurance.
Paul. I need some help in here!
The registrar says it was likely cardiac arrest.
That name gave me, John Gibson.
I'm a friend. We were in the army together.
My gut tells me you are hiding something.
She's after that burner phone, Liz.
I'll give you 24 hours.
I saw a nurse.
There's no sign of him in this recording.
Who has access to this suite?
Detective Sergeant Jardine.
Don't trust anyone.
He should have been right there.
Just before I come in.
Image looks normal. No obvious sign of tampering.
Then how do you explain it?
Play it again.
Maybe you're mistaken.
I'm not.
I saw him leaving that ward moments before I entered
and moments before Paul Brandice went into cardiac arrest.
It's a cover up.
Wheatley knew the location for Amy Lennon's interview,
a location that was leaked.
She had control of security on the ICU ward,
and the security failed.
Her people had exclusive access
to the CCTV suite, and the footage was compromised.
- That's not proven. - But it happened.
My remit is to investigate possible corruption
in your unit.
If I'm to refocus on Wheatley's team,
I'll need a bloody good reason.
What if we can prove Paul Brandice was murdered
in his hospital bed with police collusion?
That's a big if.
You said you tried to interview him,
but he was too weak to talk?
But he was recovering.
Who knows what he might have said, who he might have named.
We'll get the full pathologist report within 48 hours.
That'll ascertain if the cause of death was specific
to the injuries he sustained.
And the footage?
I'll get my tech team on to that, too.
Confirm if it's been tampered with.
And if it has?
Then I'll do what needs to be done.
How's all this bearing on you?
I'm fine.
Just want to get to the truth here.
As you said on the phone,
it might be a good idea if this stays between us.
At least until we know where we stand.
We can't be sure how far this goes.
So you focus on running the unit.
Keep your head down.
Agreed?
Agreed.
Thank you.
*CREDITS*
- Morning. - Morning.
We had a call from DCI Wheatley's office.
An official request to re-interview Amy McClennan
regarding the safe house shooting.
Right, I'll handle that.
I was told it was urgent.
Yeah, and I said I'm on it.
Where's this new witness?
Meeting room three, arrived in the custody of DCI Wilson.
- Amos Wilson? - Mm.
Alright, well this should be good.
Lovely to see you, Liz.
And congratulations on the promotion.
Very well deserved.
Yeah, well next time you want to give me something
to celebrate with, try a bottle of wine.
Look, we need to relocate this guy urgently.
Would you at least consider it?
I did come all this way.
Alright for you Amos,
I will have the chat, but no promises.
None assumed, DCI.
Mr. Ellis, can you tell me about the circumstances
that led you to becoming a witness in the case
against Daryl Fitzwilliam?
The two of you used to be friends, I believe.
I wouldn't call us friends.
But you are a member of Patriots U.K.
An organisation in which Daryl is the leader.
I was unfortunately.
He's a very persuasive man.
You might say that I was groomed.
Might I?
So you don't agree with the principle tenet
of the organisation, which is, and I quote,
the state sponsored genocide of native British peoples
via the mass importation of illegal migrants must be stopped
by whatever means necessary."
Violence is never justified.
Does your rejection of Mr. Fitzwilliams' beliefs
have anything to do with him discovering your friendship
with his 15-year-old daughter and his subsequent threats to kill you?
That was a misunderstanding.
Mr. Ellis, you have a number of cautions for stalking
and indecent exposure alongside a conviction
for sexual assault.
I have made some mistakes.
You're on the Sex Offenders Register for Life.
Is your sudden heroism perhaps motivated
by a desire to conceal your extensive criminal record?
I'm ready to help you put away Daryl Fitzwilliam.
All I ask is for a chance to make a nice fresh start.
Isn't that a fair exchange?
I wouldn't touch that with a hazmat suit and a barge pull.
Okay, he pulls his challenges from a management point of view.
Oh, he wants to get himself off SOR,
and he's a serious re-offending risk.
Sorry, Amos, it's a no.
Fair enough.
But I should warn you, bringing him here wasn't my idea.
Who's then?
The regional SEC.
And the impression that I gained is that he was keen
to make it work.
Very keen.
When do you go back?
Tomorrow afternoon.
- No promises. - None assumed.
I might just give you a call.
And I hold the deepest confidence
and optimism in you,
the future leaders of our most ambitious
and sensitive policing operations.
Thank you.
Sir.
Acting DCI Nyles, Protected Person's unit.
Nyles, how are things?
Difficult time to take over there, I expect.
Yes sir. But I wanted to talk to you about Patrick Ellis.
I hope you were able to meet up with him.
I was.
In my opinion, Mr. Ellis will be near impossible to manage.
As a sex offender, he's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Well, as acting head of the protected persons unit,
you have absolute discretion over who you accept
into the programme.
Yes, sir. I do.
Still, the home secretary is very keen
that this case be brought to trial.
So ensuring appropriate protection for this witness
is of enormous importance.
I'd like to help, but I'm short staffed
and without sufficient personnel,
I can't guarantee the safety of Mr. Ellis
or that of the public.
- You need more staff. - I need experienced officers
who understand our protocols.
Someone in particular?
As you may be aware, a colleague of mine,
DS Raj Kholi, is being investigated
by DCI Wheatley's team.
I'm not interfering an active investigation.
No, of course not, sir.
All I ask is that the evidence against Raj Kholi
is independently reviewed as a matter of priority.
How about I have a little chat with her?
Point out the complexities of the situation.
And I will ring DCI Wilson
and let him know that my unit will be in a position
to take on Mr. Ellis.
Good.
There's one other thing, sir.
DCI Wheatley's team want to re-interview Amy McLennan.
To ensure her safety, I need to manage that on my own terms,
no negotiations.
Seems you and Wheatley are enjoying
a robust working relationship.
We both have strong views.
I'll see what I can do, Nyles.
Afternoon. I need a word with DS Kholi.
Sorry, ma'am, he's with a solicitor right now. So...
Ah, speak of the devil.
Excuse me. You're representing Raj Kholi,
I'm Liz Nyles. I'm a colleague of his.
What a coincidence. DS Kholi asked me to contact you.
Really? I've got news for him. So...
It seems there's a mobile phone that's of interest
to the officer's investigating my client.
DS Kholi asked me to tell you that he's waited long enough
and now all bets are off. He said you'd understand.
I need to talk to Raj myself.
DS Kholi said he'd prefer not to have any visitors today.
I'm trying to help your client.
DCI Wheatley intends to
interview DS Kholi in the morning,
and I have advised him to cooperate completely.
Given that you are trying to help him,
I'm sure you'll agree with my advice.
Good afternoon, DCI Nyles.
Shit!
You trying to intimidate me? Is that what this is?
Just following a directive from me DCI.
Okay, well, tell your DCI the next time she has
me followed, she might want to choose someone
with a basic understanding of surveillance techniques.
We got your crooked mate Kholi. We'll get you too, Nyles.
Just a matter of time.
Hey, boss.
- How's the drive? - Security-wise, all clear.
Our girl's not happy, though.
Okay.
Hey, Amy, love.
How you doing in there?
I'm so sorry you've got to go over this again.
Do you mind, ma'am?
Yeah.
Well, congratulations.
I've never jumped through so many
unnecessary hoops in my whole career.
Well, given the leaks, I think the extra precautions
are warranted, don't you?
No, I think you've got some goal
going over my head on this.
Being followed does tend to firm one's resolved.
All okay?
Well, DCI Wheatley doesn't like our choice of venue.
It's better than being inside that caravan.
Sorry. I know that was tough for you, Sue.
I really appreciate it.
Do you think I'm stupid, ma'am?
Why would you ask that?
Because I feel stupid.
All that time I worked with Brandice,
and I didn't even pick up on it.
You told Arun you thought he was innocent.
At first, I did.
Well, at least I thought I did.
But now...
the more I think about it...
It's hard to reconcile.
You know, the phone call he got
the morning he was shot,
it wasn't the only one.
From time to time, he'd slink off, take a sly phone call,
it's all a bit mysterious.
Why do you think those calls are connected?
Did you see the phone he was using?
No.
It was the way he reacted afterwards.
You know, like he was hiding something.
I mean at the time I just thought, well...
What?
I assumed he was having an affair.
I butted out because I figured
if he wants to ruin his marriage, that's his problem.
It's nothing to do with me.
Did you ever ask him directly who the calls were from?
Once. He said it was an army mate.
Army?
Sounds like a bad excuse, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, it does.
Hi, mum.
It's so lovely to hear you play.
Granddad asked me to. Aren't you meant to be at work?
Yep. Just got to grab something from upstairs.
_
Hello?
Hi, it's DCI Liz Nyles.
I was hoping we could meet up again.
I wanted to talk to you about your army days with Brandice.
Okay, sure.
Well, how does right now work for you?
Where would you like to meet?
I am sorry. I know you are old army pals.
No, no, I'm...
I appreciate you letting me know.
Though you could have just told me on the phone.
I suppose I could.
So why are we here? Really?
When did you last speak to Paul?
Um, I think I told you.
A week or so before he was shot.
You didn't call him on Tuesday morning then?
I think I'd remember.
The phone he was using when he rang you from,
he received several calls from a withheld number,
most importantly, a call just before he was shot.
I am trying to figure out who was ringing him.
Would you like to check my phone?
I assume that would settle the matter.
No, some people have more than one. Paul did.
And why do you think that was?
Usually because a person has secrets.
Do you have his phone with you now?
Why do you ask?
No, I'm just curious.
It's somewhere safe.
I assume your forensics people are giving it the once over,
looking for clues.
Something like that.
And what happens after they're done?
If Paul did have secrets, do you intend to honour them?
Depends what they are.
Well, I'm sorry.
Seems that once again, I haven't been much help,
but please do... do ring me again if
there's anything else I can...
try to help with.
This is acting DCI, Liz Nyles.
Force number 0945621.
Can you do a PNC check on a vehicle for me please?
Sure.
Sierra, Papa, Five, Six, Tango, Yankee, Romeo.
Okay, gimme a sec.
Yeah, that's registered to a car hire company.
Smithson Autos Limited.
Are they on company's house?
Checkin' for you now.
Yeah, it looks like it's registered to a Rezan Crowther.
- Rezan Crowther? - That's what it says.
You want the address?
No.
I know the address.
What you thinking about?
Whether the end justifies the means.
Deep.
It depends I guess.
Does it?
Or is that just an excuse?
What's this about?
Work stuff.
You know, the dodgy bastards we protect
and the consequences of all the secrets we keep.
Makes you wonder what it all amounts to.
You start thinking like that, well, you're in the wrong job.
Are you in the wrong job, DS Brandice?
Kelman.
Ma'am need to tell you something.
Something we should have discussed a while ago.
Regarding the McLennan matter?
I think I've got the connection between
Brandice and Crowther.
I don't want to talk about it on the phone.
I could meet you in an hour.
I can meet now if you come straight in.
There's something I need to collect,
something you need to see.
Well, if it's important, I'll wait.
It is, ma'am.
I'll see you soon.
And it's standing room only for the lake cameras,
and the bidding has really started to hot up.
But the red team blue team are trying to make a profit.
Do you need the loo while we're here?
Okay, as we are here.
Look, now you're here, why don't you pop up
and get your school books?
Was this your plan all along?
At least if your books are out,
your mom might not have kittens when she gets home.
Okay, but first we watch end of the show, alright?
You drive a hard bargain.
Hi, love.
Homework. Just about to start, okay?
I wasn't gonna say anything.
Hey, Dad.
I need to talk to you about something important.
- Mom! - Jas!
- Someone's been in your room! - What?
Got to the kitchen.
Go now!
Mom, what is it?
Stay here with your granddad!
Mom?
Your face. What happened?
I'm fine. Are you two all right?
Yeah, who was it?
I don't know, a burglar. Just wait here.
Have you called it in?
You do not mess with my family!
I don't give a shit who you think you are,
but there is a line, and you've just pissed all over it.
So I am gonna make sure you spend the rest of your
worthless life in prison so that your son grows up
knowing exactly who you are.
- Who the fuck are you? - What? You know who I am.
You just sent one of your goons around to my house.
Sorry, what on earth are you talking about?
What? How did you get my address?
One of your bent coppers hand that over?
Dad?
You need to get back out there son.
And listen to your coach. You need to pack in tighter.
- Does he know what you did? - Go.
What kind of a man you are.
You tried to kill his best friend.
You talking about Amy McClennan? Serious?
It's bad enough killing cops, but a 12-year-old girl?
What sort of scum does something like that?
Oh, you poor deluded, love. You are so very, very wrong.
I am gonna bring you down, Crowther. I promise that.
Excuse me, Mr. Crowther. Is there a problem?
No, no, no problem.
I was just explaining to the lady
that this pitch is private property.
So unless she has a student that's a relative,
she might have to leave.
Mr. Crowther is correct, Madam.
- Could I ask you... - Yeah, don't worry. I'm going.
Tell Amy Uncle Eddie sends his love.
Fuck.
Yep.
Liz, I probably shouldn't be calling you
about this, but I thought you ought to know.
What?
They found your motorcycle man, Jock Ferguson.
What you doing here?
As you know, I have an interest in this case.
So I've had the fourth solicitor on the phone.
Crowther's brief is going ballistic.
Some bastard broke into my house
when my daughter was home.
Break in or not, you've given Crowther grounds
for police harassment complaint.
How do you imagine Crowther that got my address?
- Any theories? - Okay.
Think really carefully before you say anything else, Liz.
Is that why you had your lacky follow me?
Liz.
I think you should get that checked out.
It's affecting your judgement. Let's go
Crowther had Brandice killed,
and he had help from a police officer.
Probably the same officer who leaked the location
of Amy McLennan's interview, and now Jock Ferguson's dead.
Detective Inspector Nyles,
you need to get a grip.
No, Crowther is covering his tracks
right in front of our eyes, and you're all letting him.
I know you've been conducting a parallel investigation,
which is so far out of your lane,
it's in the middle of the sodding Atlantic.
Paul Brandice was about to talk,
and they shut him up on your watch.
So who's next, eh?
Okay. Get yourself down to occupational health.
Get signed off with stress and take a nice long holiday.
'Cause you've lost the plot, Liz.
You said you had something important
you needed to tell me.
Yeah, I did. But the situation's changed.
Oh, you're not wrong about that.
Now Wheatley is either involved
or she's turning a blind eye.
Either way, we need to move.
No, we do not.
This time, she's right.
I think you better go home and get some rest.
Right now.
Yeah, I understand that the window bars will take longer,
but the alarm system and the new locks.
Let me just check that for you.
Are you available tomorrow?
Oh, yeah, tomorrow morning will be fantastic.
- 9:00 AM. - 9:00.
Thank you.
- So... - So I'm going to bed.
What kind of burglar breaks in at that time of day
with the residents at home?
Look, the police have been, they've made a report,
and I've got a security company come here first thing.
Liz, is there anything to do with that poor girl
you brought here?
Have you put your daughter in danger?
You're retired, Dad.
Now leave it to the police, please.
Been a long time since you did this.
Do you think he'll come back?
No.
He has no reason to.
He's seen we have nothing worth nicking.
Will they catch him do you think?
Yeah, I think they will.
The street ends at number 26.
Are you sure you got his address right?
John Gibson. 28, Clifford Heights.
Yeah, I'm sure.
So he lives at an address that doesn't exist,
and the number I've been calling him on
goes to an automated message now, it's no longer in use.
Same at his workplace.
No one's heard of Brandice's good old army mate.
So he agrees to meet me, and while I'm out with him,
Crowther sent someone around to my house.
What, day after?
Look, Liz,
I came out here 'cause I'm worried.
Whatever it is that you're doing, it's getting a reaction.
I know I said I couldn't help you with this,
but you tell me exactly what's going on,
maybe we can find someone who can.
I, uh...
I need to go up to the hospital.
Brandice's full post-mortem results are coming in.
Okay.
Take care.
I'm not scared of Crowther.
Oh, I know.
Maybe you should be.
Feeling any better?
As can be expected.
That performance wasn't exactly
what I had in mind when I said keep your head down.
I suppose not.
Look, at this stage, the post-mortem results
are strictly for myself and Wheatley.
But contact me later this afternoon,
and I'll talk you through anything
that's relevant to your concerns.
Alright?
I will do. Thank you, ma'am.
Sorry, excuse me.
I'm Liz Nyles.
I was a colleague of Paul Brandice.
Oh, I'm sorry about your friend.
Thank you.
It was a shock.
I honestly thought he was recovering.
Yeah. I wanted to ask, did you see any member of staff
you didn't recognise hanging around the ward before he died?
A nurse you'd not seen before?
I don't know. I think it's unlikely.
After he regained consciousness,
there weren't that many that went through to him.
My staff, obviously, his wife, and that police officer.
I had to ask her to leave.
Why was that?
She was getting him riled up, and he'd only just woken.
Sorry, he'd only just woken up. That was three days ago.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Yeah. I was told he could barely talk at that stage.
Oh, he was talking, all right.
I can't say he was shouting, he was too weak for that.
But he was certainly coherent.
What did he say?
I didn't hear him, but I heard her say
something about duty.
Duty to keep quiet.
Not a bad idea, keeping quiet, given the state he was in.
Sorry, was that the police officer?
The one with the phone.
No. The one with the scarf.
Thanks.
What happened?
Forget it.
This is a bit cloak and dagger, isn't it? Even for you.
Well, last time I tried to talk to you, you clammed up,
so I thought a bit of discretion might help.
Are you sure you want to dig this up again?
Yep.
So Randy's being transferred into the unit
without being vetted.
I was told he'd already been independently vetted.
By who?
Someone high up.
Command wanted him in the unit without a delay,
so I accommodated.
Well, you must know it was Aaron.
The ACC? Higher?
I don't.
Well, who gave the directive?
The only personal contact I had was from
your new mate, Kelman.
She passed his file to me
and made it clear what was expected.
The Amy McLennan interview location,
the list of officers who were granted access
was me, you, Raj, Wheatley, Jardine, Kim.
That's the official list.
Well, could anyone else have got access, unofficially?
You mean Kelman?
I mean Kelman.
She wasn't authorised to, but let's face it,
she was running rampant through our records.
If you asked me, she could have accessed almost anything.
Well, you got your wish.
I'm sorry.
The tech team undertook a thorough analysis
of the evidence against DS Kholi, and you were right.
He didn't leak the interview location.
Turns out it was the result of a targeted cyber attack.
A hacker got into Kholi's computer
and e-mailed sensitive information to a burner account
making it look like he leaked the location
of Amy's interview.
What's happening to Raj?
The evidence against him was concocted,
so he's being released
and reinstated, effective immediately.
Right, if there was a hack,
then our digital records are compromised.
We'll need to carry out a complete cyber security review.
I already gave the order.
Liz, I can see the pressure you've been under here.
If you want to step aside, take some leave,
I can find someone to say...
No.
Yesterday I was rattled, I know,
but I want to stay here, help sort this problem out.
Well, I've spoken to the ACC,
and he's okayed me to personally assist
in whatever way I can.
So you're not alone.
You'll also be relieved to hear that the postmortem results
show that Brandice died from his injuries.
No evidence that he came to further harm
whilst in the hospital.
So let that put your mind at rest.
And CCTV?
No sign of tempering.
So we can focus on the task at hand.
Good news. Right?
Such just shame you couldn't get any sense out of him
before he died.
If only he had told you what he knew.
Agreed.
But as I said, we ought to now concentrate on the real
and present threat from Crowther.
Brandice was your colleague,
but leave the murder investigation to Wheatley.
You've enough to do here.
If you say so, ma'am.
What's happened?
I'll tell you outside.
One of Crowther's men lifted the phone
before I could hand it in from my house.
That's how I got this.
- From your house? - Yeah, it gets worse.
We know you didn't leak Amy's interview locations.
That means another police officer did.
No, they said it was an outside hack.
- I'm not buying that. - But why not?
If Kelman's people say it's hack, then...
Kelman's the Mole. It's been her all along.
Liz, I know, I'm not thinking straight
after what I've been through, but come on.
Kelman lied about Brandice.
She said he could barely talk when his nurse said
they were having an argument
and now she's just told me to stop digging.
Okay, so this isn't our problem. She's connected.
She's the ACC shadow.
Exactly. If she's involved, I don't know how high this goes.
Yeah, so even if you are right,
look at what they did to me.
You said they broke into your house.
Who knows what they'll do next?
- Hey, Sue. - She's gone.
- What? - Amy, I can't find her.
When did you last see her?
Uh, 10... 10 minutes ago. She was right here.
- But now... - Have you alerted HQ?
Yeah, of course, full code red protocol.
Okay. Stay where you are.
Wait for the search team to arrive.
She can't have gone far. I'll be there in 20.
Are you coming?
Yeah.
Sue, anything?
How did this happen?
We'll find her.
So, you turn down offers of extra assistance.
You insist on keeping custody yourself,
and then you bring her here?
The location wasn't the problem.
We followed all our protocols.
Oh, your protocols. Right.
And where do your protocols say she is now then?
I don't know.
Everybody who was at that safe house on the day
of the hit seems to be turning up dead.
Well, let's pray we can find that poor girl, eh,
before she ends up the same way.
