Re. the unsolved murder
of Gail Vella,
3
00:00:14,255 --> 00:00:17,396
on September 10th, 2019.
4
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:20,089
FLEMING: The Gail Vella murder
weapon was never recovered.
5
00:00:20,192 --> 00:00:21,435
-Moving.
-FLEMING: However,
6
00:00:21,538 --> 00:00:23,299
the cartridge and bullet
were tailored ammunition.

By the time
of our inquiry in 2015,
10
00:00:31,962 --> 00:00:33,792
Thurwell had taken
early retirement.
11

Believed to be living
in Spain.
12
00:00:35,518 --> 00:00:36,829
I wonder if Gail
discovered the link
13
00:00:36,933 --> 00:00:39,142
between Thurwell and
the Lawrence Christopher case.
14
00:00:40,902 --> 00:00:44,182

I don't know where you're
getting your figures from...
19
00:00:55,089 --> 00:00:58,368
But the figures came from your
own office, Chief Constable.

me under a bus.

Armed police. Stay indoors.
Get back!
195
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,247
How did they manage
to intercept us?
196
00:11:02,351 --> 00:11:03,973
Something's not right.

This isn't your fault.
201
00:11:13,017 --> 00:11:15,433

Jesus Christ!
Steve's in on it.
222
00:12:16,977 --> 00:12:18,876
I'm taking out a pistol.
223
00:12:18,979 --> 00:12:20,740
I'll put it on the grounds.

surrender your firearm.

Jo, we're being framed.
228
00:12:34,167 --> 00:12:37,757
This is your final warning.
Lay down your firearm.
229
00:12:43,141 --> 00:12:46,455
Slowly.
Hands where we can see them.

[cop on radio] Alpha Charlie

231

HASTINGS: Ma'am, if I may?
235
00:13:06,544 --> 00:13:08,442
This is Superintendent,
Hastings.
236
00:13:08,546 --> 00:13:12,032
I can assure you
you'll be treated fairly,
237
00:13:12,136 --> 00:13:14,069
with the full protection
of the law.
238
00:13:15,277 --> 00:13:18,349
Steve told me some bad stuff
about the gaffer.
239
00:13:19,868 --> 00:13:21,214
This is my fault, sir.
240
00:13:26,944 --> 00:13:29,636
DI Steve Arnott.
I'm unarmed.

[indistinct radio chatter]
242
00:13:33,226 --> 00:13:35,193
You bastard, Steve.
243
00:13:35,297 --> 00:13:37,989
Stay there, Kate.
244
00:13:38,093 --> 00:13:41,130
Take the gun out slowly,
lay it on the ground.
245
00:13:41,234 --> 00:13:42,994
You gave me up. You told them.
246
00:13:43,098 --> 00:13:45,445
Kate, I give you my word,
I didn't.
247
00:13:45,548 --> 00:13:46,480
That's bullshit.
248
00:13:46,584 --> 00:13:47,999
How would they know
what car I'm driving?
249
00:13:48,103 --> 00:13:49,587
Kate, listen to me.
250
00:13:50,277 --> 00:13:52,176
I don't know how they knew.
251
00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:53,902
If it came from me,
I'd be straight with you.
252
00:13:54,005 --> 00:13:55,075
That's how it is between us,
253
00:13:55,179 --> 00:13:57,215
and I'm telling you,
I didn't give you up.
254
00:13:57,319 --> 00:13:58,734
Neither did the gaffer.
255
00:13:58,838 --> 00:14:01,185
[cop on radio] DI Arnott,
now with two occupants...
256
00:14:04,188 --> 00:14:05,361
Come on, mate.
257
00:14:05,465 --> 00:14:07,605
I don't know what the hell
is going on either.
258
00:14:07,708 --> 00:14:09,641
Why the Chief's ordered
Carmichael to take over.
259
00:14:09,745 --> 00:14:12,230
But I promise you,
I'll get you to safety.
260
00:14:14,508 --> 00:14:15,613
Both of you.
261
00:14:21,722 --> 00:14:23,207
[loudly] She's cooperating.
262
00:14:23,310 --> 00:14:24,691
Lay it on the ground.
263
00:14:29,765 --> 00:14:31,146
She's put the gun down.
264
00:14:33,734 --> 00:14:35,702
Come with me.
I'll walk you in.
265
00:14:36,185 --> 00:14:37,428
Get behind me.
266
00:14:37,946 --> 00:14:39,292
You too, ma'am.
267
00:14:40,914 --> 00:14:42,778
[cop on radio] Both suspects
now walking towards us

Check out the old
OCG print shop.
270
00:14:49,405 --> 00:14:51,200
Also, Ryan Pilkington
confessed
271
00:14:51,304 --> 00:14:53,754
to the murder of Maneet Bindra
and John Corbett.
272
00:14:56,861 --> 00:14:59,105
Don't you worry, kid. I'll see
you're well looked after
273
00:14:59,208 --> 00:15:01,279
or, by Christ,
they'll have me to answer to.
274
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:04,455
Arrest them both.
275
00:15:05,732 --> 00:15:08,908
Put them in forensic suits,
transfer them to dry cells.
276
00:15:09,011 --> 00:15:10,806
Lock the ridge
of the transport vehicle.

[door closing]
279
00:15:58,405 --> 00:16:00,649
You should have shared Kate's
whereabouts with me.
280
00:16:02,789 --> 00:16:03,859
I didn't want to put you in
281
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:05,274
a difficult position
with Carmichael.
282
00:16:11,349 --> 00:16:14,249
Kate told me Ryan Pilkington
confessed to Maneet's murder.
283
00:16:16,527 --> 00:16:18,184
Pilkington!
284
00:16:19,185 --> 00:16:21,325
He also confessed
to the murder of John Corbett.
285
00:16:32,715 --> 00:16:33,716
Ma'am.
286
00:16:33,820 --> 00:16:37,065
Ma'am, the interviews
with Davidson and Kate...
287
00:16:37,168 --> 00:16:39,412
DI Arnott and I will be
involved, of course.
288
00:16:39,515 --> 00:16:41,793
We know the inquiry
like the back of our hands.
289
00:16:41,897 --> 00:16:43,588
CARMICHAEL: Hmm. DI Arnott,
290
00:16:43,692 --> 00:16:45,487
I've just learned
the vehicle was yours,
291
00:16:45,590 --> 00:16:49,594
and keys to your home were
found on DI Fleming's person.
292
00:16:50,630 --> 00:16:52,528
We've got keys to each other's
homes and vehicles
293
00:16:52,632 --> 00:16:54,634
in the event
of extreme circumstances.
294
00:16:54,737 --> 00:16:57,085
Oh, okay. Yes. I see.
295
00:16:57,188 --> 00:16:59,742
What would constitute
extreme circumstances?
296
00:16:59,846 --> 00:17:02,159
An unexplained disruption
of the chain of command.
297
00:17:06,197 --> 00:17:08,441
Superintendent Hastings
has been informed
298
00:17:08,544 --> 00:17:10,857
of his impending
retirement.
299
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,205
Ma'am, I must protest. That
information was confidential.
300
00:17:14,309 --> 00:17:15,655
And so, to ensure
a smooth transition,
301
00:17:15,758 --> 00:17:18,002
I've assumed command.
So, from now on, DI Arnott,
302
00:17:18,106 --> 00:17:19,279
you'll be taking
orders from me,
303
00:17:19,383 --> 00:17:20,832
or face
disciplinary action.
304
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:26,735
Is there anything else
you're not sharing with me?
305
00:17:31,084 --> 00:17:33,362
I'm waiting.
306
00:17:33,466 --> 00:17:36,745
Kate said we should check
out the old OCG print shop,
307
00:17:36,848 --> 00:17:38,505
from where John Corbett
worked.
308
00:17:38,988 --> 00:17:40,197
Very good.
309
00:17:41,474 --> 00:17:43,510
I'll report back after
Davidson's respite
310
00:17:43,614 --> 00:17:45,857
to assist me
in interviewing her.
311
00:17:45,961 --> 00:17:47,480
Dismissed. Thank you.
312
00:17:47,756 --> 00:17:48,826
Ma'am.
313
00:17:56,834 --> 00:17:58,077
I'll lead the interview
314
00:17:58,180 --> 00:18:01,632
and you can assist within
parameters set by me.
315
00:18:02,771 --> 00:18:04,255
Do you think
you can manage that?
316
00:18:07,810 --> 00:18:08,846
Very good.
317
00:18:10,123 --> 00:18:12,332
I'll see you
in the morning.
318
00:18:12,436 --> 00:18:15,094
How did you know of Davidson
and Kate's whereabouts?
319
00:18:16,405 --> 00:18:18,545
Oh, we put trackers
in all AC-12 vehicles.
320
00:18:19,684 --> 00:18:20,789
What?
321
00:18:20,892 --> 00:18:22,273
Hmm.
Chief Constable's orders.
322
00:18:22,929 --> 00:18:24,068
Thank goodness we did.
323
00:18:24,172 --> 00:18:27,106
My officers were going
about their lawful duty.
324
00:18:27,209 --> 00:18:28,900
Putting trackers
on their vehicles
325
00:18:29,004 --> 00:18:31,731
was a flagrant
breach of trust.
326
00:18:33,215 --> 00:18:35,044
No, you're right, Ted.
327
00:18:36,736 --> 00:18:38,703
The Chief and I
don't trust you.

00:19:53,295 --> 00:19:55,746
Document six is acting
DSU Davidson's
355
00:19:55,849 --> 00:19:57,230
police personnel record.
356
00:19:57,334 --> 00:19:59,715
Next of kin is given
as Samantha Davidson.
357
00:19:59,819 --> 00:20:02,062
What is your relationship
to Samantha Davidson?
358
00:20:02,166 --> 00:20:03,305
No comment.
359
00:20:03,409 --> 00:20:06,550
Oh, God, give me strength.
It's gonna be a long day.
360
00:20:06,653 --> 00:20:08,655
ARNOTT: We carried out checks
on Samantha Davidson.
361
00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:12,176
Passport shown in Document 22
is the last one on record.
362
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,591
An interim death certificate
was issued
363
00:20:13,695 --> 00:20:16,939
for Samantha Davidson
on the 5th of January, 1996,
364
00:20:17,043 --> 00:20:19,252
by the Glasgow City coroner.
365
00:20:19,356 --> 00:20:21,772
Subsequent inquest
into Samantha Davidson's death
366
00:20:21,875 --> 00:20:23,532
recorded a finding of suicide.
367
00:20:26,052 --> 00:20:27,398
You all right, Jo?
368
00:20:29,228 --> 00:20:31,126
The purpose of our questioning
is not to trigger
369
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:34,094
painful memories,
but rather to address...
370
00:20:34,198 --> 00:20:36,752
an important aspect
of our inquiry.
371
00:20:38,616 --> 00:20:40,687
Document 33 in your folders.
372
00:20:40,791 --> 00:20:43,311
Document 33 is
a forensic laboratory report
373
00:20:43,414 --> 00:20:46,314
submitted on the 19th
of November, 2020,
374
00:20:46,417 --> 00:20:48,799
relating to DNA deposits
detected during a search
375
00:20:48,902 --> 00:20:51,871
of 29 Stalton Drive
conducted up to and including
376
00:20:51,974 --> 00:20:54,322
the 16th of November, 2020.
377
00:20:54,425 --> 00:20:56,116
Comparison of said DNA deposits
378
00:20:56,220 --> 00:20:59,258
found 100% match with DNA
held on the national database
379
00:20:59,361 --> 00:21:01,363
belonging to Joanne Davidson.
380
00:21:01,467 --> 00:21:03,365
Further comparison
with criminal databases
381
00:21:03,469 --> 00:21:06,092
found a strong partial match
to John Thomas Hunter.
382
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:09,716
CARMICHAEL: Are you related by
blood to John Thomas Hunter?
383
00:21:10,959 --> 00:21:12,340
-No comment.
-Okay.
384
00:21:12,443 --> 00:21:14,514
Just gave you an opportunity
to declare whether or not
385
00:21:14,618 --> 00:21:17,206
you are familiar with
what we're about to disclose.
386
00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:18,415
If not, you may find
387
00:21:18,518 --> 00:21:21,141
the following information
distressing. DI Arnott.
388
00:21:21,245 --> 00:21:23,661
ARNOTT: Document 33A.
389
00:21:23,765 --> 00:21:27,113
Further analysis of the DNA
found at 29 Stalton Drive
390
00:21:27,216 --> 00:21:29,702
detected run of homozygosity.
391
00:21:29,805 --> 00:21:32,014
This is an indicator
of a close blood relationship
392
00:21:32,118 --> 00:21:34,327
between the subject's
mother and father.
393
00:21:34,431 --> 00:21:36,364
With a percentage match
to Tommy Hunter,
394
00:21:36,467 --> 00:21:39,021
it has been concluded
that Hunter was your uncle
395
00:21:39,125 --> 00:21:40,540
and also your father.
396
00:21:45,234 --> 00:21:46,305
No.
397
00:21:50,032 --> 00:21:52,138
No. He... [clears throat]
398
00:21:52,241 --> 00:21:54,451
He was my uncle. That's...
399
00:21:55,037 --> 00:21:57,281
But that's not true.
400
00:22:03,322 --> 00:22:04,806
So what is the truth?
401
00:22:05,807 --> 00:22:08,223
You can see
my colleague's distress.
402
00:22:08,327 --> 00:22:09,707
Perhaps we could
have a short break.
403
00:22:09,811 --> 00:22:11,433
CARMICHAEL: It's a simple
enough question for Acting
404
00:22:11,537 --> 00:22:13,677
Detective Superintendent
Davidson to answer.
405
00:22:15,886 --> 00:22:17,232
No comment.
406
00:22:21,029 --> 00:22:22,858
Okay. I think
we should pause this interview
407
00:22:22,962 --> 00:22:25,447
and return you to custody
until such time,
408
00:22:25,551 --> 00:22:27,069
if any, you're willing
to cooperate...
409
00:22:27,173 --> 00:22:28,554
Ma'am, wait.
410
00:22:29,382 --> 00:22:30,383
Please.
411
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,386
Jo, if you're bent,
412
00:22:33,490 --> 00:22:36,147
fine if you wanna
run the clock down.
413
00:22:36,251 --> 00:22:37,356
We'll charge you,
and with the evidence
414
00:22:37,459 --> 00:22:39,358
we've got, you'll go away
for a long time.
415
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,119
But if you're not bent,
416
00:22:42,222 --> 00:22:44,017
this is your chance
to prove it.
417
00:22:45,812 --> 00:22:48,436
These things we've learned
about your family history,
418
00:22:48,539 --> 00:22:50,852
no one can be blamed
for what they're born into.
419
00:22:50,955 --> 00:22:52,405
Or the path
that it puts them on.
420
00:22:53,889 --> 00:22:55,684
Now's the time
to give your side.
421
00:23:04,935 --> 00:23:06,212
No comment.
422
00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:11,390
You were still only a teenager
when you lost your mum.
423
00:23:11,493 --> 00:23:12,839
It must have been
very upsetting.
424
00:23:15,566 --> 00:23:17,050
No comment.
425
00:23:17,154 --> 00:23:19,225
If you think you're going to
wear us down,
426
00:23:19,328 --> 00:23:21,503
Acting Detective
Superintendent Davidson,
427
00:23:21,607 --> 00:23:24,575
you have got
another thing coming.
428
00:23:24,679 --> 00:23:25,956
DI Arnott.
429
00:23:26,059 --> 00:23:28,337
The search of apartment
G-9 Croxford Street
430
00:23:28,441 --> 00:23:30,270
detected an article
seized in evidence
431
00:23:30,374 --> 00:23:33,204
appearing onscreen
in Image 11.
432
00:23:33,308 --> 00:23:35,862
Image 11 shows
item reference PW-5,
433
00:23:35,966 --> 00:23:37,312
a laptop computer.
434
00:23:38,106 --> 00:23:39,487
Whose device is this?
435
00:23:41,661 --> 00:23:42,869
No comment.
436
00:23:42,973 --> 00:23:45,493
ARNOTT: Forensic examination
of PW-5 detected fingerprints
437
00:23:45,596 --> 00:23:48,116
and DNA deposits
relating to one person only.
438
00:23:48,219 --> 00:23:49,428
Said fingerprints and DNA
439
00:23:49,531 --> 00:23:51,153
are a match
for Joanne Davidson.
440
00:23:52,948 --> 00:23:55,330
For what purpose
did you employ this device?
441
00:23:56,469 --> 00:23:58,057
No comment.
442
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,059
Document 56 in your folders.
443
00:24:00,749 --> 00:24:02,579
AC-12's Cybercrime Department
444
00:24:02,682 --> 00:24:05,305
carried out an examination
of PW-5's hard drive.
445
00:24:05,409 --> 00:24:08,239
Their findings are fully
summarised in Document 56.
446
00:24:08,343 --> 00:24:09,931
There are numerous
text conversations
447
00:24:10,034 --> 00:24:12,796
between the user of PW-5
and an unknown user.
448
00:24:12,899 --> 00:24:15,695
Who are the participants
in these text conversations?
449
00:24:16,524 --> 00:24:17,663
No comment.
450
00:24:17,766 --> 00:24:20,113
Our Cybercrime Department
detected an IP address
451
00:24:20,217 --> 00:24:24,117
for the PW-5 user
matching 9 Croxford Street.
452
00:24:24,221 --> 00:24:27,155
The IP address for the unknown
user is located in Spain.
453
00:24:28,846 --> 00:24:30,123
No comment.
454
00:24:30,227 --> 00:24:32,436
What was the nature
of these text conversations?
455
00:24:32,988 --> 00:24:34,093
No comment.
456
00:24:34,196 --> 00:24:36,095
Jesus, Mary and Joseph
and the wee donkey,
457
00:24:36,198 --> 00:24:37,441
can we just move
this thing along
458
00:24:37,545 --> 00:24:39,719
before it drives us all
round the bloody bend?
459
00:24:39,823 --> 00:24:40,824
DI Arnott.
460
00:24:40,927 --> 00:24:42,066
Please refer to the screen,
461
00:24:42,170 --> 00:24:43,447
which shows
a text conversation
462
00:24:43,551 --> 00:24:46,968
which took place on
the 22nd of November, 21:42,
463
00:24:47,071 --> 00:24:50,316
between the user of PW-5
and an unknown user.
464
00:24:50,419 --> 00:24:53,043
Can you tell us what is meant
by the instruction...
465
00:24:53,561 --> 00:24:55,045
"Get rid of her"?
466
00:24:56,391 --> 00:24:57,496
No comment.
467
00:24:57,599 --> 00:25:00,188
You agreed to lure
DI Fleming to her death.
468
00:25:00,291 --> 00:25:02,259
That's about the top
and bottom of it, isn't it?
469
00:25:04,019 --> 00:25:05,089
No comment.
470
00:25:05,193 --> 00:25:06,643
[sighs] Look,
you could say no comment
471
00:25:06,746 --> 00:25:09,162
till you're blue in the face,
but we know what's what.
472
00:25:09,266 --> 00:25:11,095
DI Fleming made a call
to DI Arnott
473
00:25:11,199 --> 00:25:12,649
just minutes before
an illicit rendezvous
474
00:25:12,752 --> 00:25:15,583
took place between you
and PC Ryan Pilkington.
475
00:25:17,654 --> 00:25:18,793
No comment.
476
00:25:18,896 --> 00:25:20,380
You lured her
to that rendezvous,
477
00:25:20,484 --> 00:25:22,037
and there is the evidence
up there
478
00:25:22,141 --> 00:25:24,626
on the screen
in black and white.
479
00:25:24,730 --> 00:25:27,249
Conspiracy to murder
which, as you know,
480
00:25:27,353 --> 00:25:29,148
Acting Detective
Superintendent Davidson,
481
00:25:29,251 --> 00:25:32,565
brings with it
a life sentence.
482
00:25:32,669 --> 00:25:35,188
And that's before we get
to the rest of the evidence,
483
00:25:35,292 --> 00:25:38,053
which I would describe
as a mountain,
484
00:25:38,606 --> 00:25:41,056
a mountain of evidence.
485
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,300
We haven't even
scratched the surface.
486
00:25:46,545 --> 00:25:47,615
[sniffles]
487
00:25:50,928 --> 00:25:52,447
I was asking about your mum.
488
00:25:56,555 --> 00:25:58,039
Yes.
489
00:25:58,142 --> 00:25:59,558
She took her own life.
490
00:26:03,941 --> 00:26:05,287
Yes.
491
00:26:07,048 --> 00:26:08,567
This must be
very painful for you,
492
00:26:08,670 --> 00:26:10,569
but do you think
you can speak about that?
493
00:26:13,917 --> 00:26:17,265
She was born into it,
same as me.
494
00:26:18,887 --> 00:26:21,131
Hated what our family
stood for.
495
00:26:22,339 --> 00:26:24,652
Her brother told me...
496
00:26:26,274 --> 00:26:27,516
what a piece of work he was.
497
00:26:27,620 --> 00:26:28,656
Oh, yeah,
you don't need to tell us
498
00:26:28,759 --> 00:26:31,072
what he was capable of,
believe you me.
499
00:26:31,866 --> 00:26:33,592
He controlled mum's life.
500
00:26:34,247 --> 00:26:36,042
Did he control yours?
501
00:26:38,148 --> 00:26:40,012
Not at first. [sniffles]
502
00:26:42,531 --> 00:26:44,292
My mum was still a girl.
503
00:26:44,741 --> 00:26:46,018
Fifteen.
504
00:26:46,812 --> 00:26:48,537
Raped, she told me.
505
00:26:50,747 --> 00:26:52,749
Though I never knew
the details.
506
00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:58,133
Forced to go through
with the pregnancy.
507
00:26:58,755 --> 00:27:00,239
Tommy sent her away,
508
00:27:00,342 --> 00:27:02,621
back to Glasgow
under her mum's maiden name.
509
00:27:04,312 --> 00:27:06,625
I had no idea
about any of this
510
00:27:06,728 --> 00:27:08,868
until Tommy came looking.
511
00:27:08,972 --> 00:27:10,629
But that was later. Yes?
512
00:27:11,664 --> 00:27:14,633
I'd just turned 16.
513
00:27:14,736 --> 00:27:17,083
He'd heard
I was doing well in school.
514
00:27:17,187 --> 00:27:20,155
Never been in trouble.
Plus, no one knew me here.
515
00:27:21,294 --> 00:27:23,020
He wanted me for the police.
516
00:27:23,124 --> 00:27:25,954
He said, to do his bidding,
517
00:27:26,058 --> 00:27:27,818
to be under his control.
518
00:27:30,856 --> 00:27:32,064
[shudders]
519
00:27:37,897 --> 00:27:39,934
My mum
couldn't bear the thought
520
00:27:40,037 --> 00:27:42,108
of me being with Uncle Tommy.
521
00:27:42,212 --> 00:27:44,283
She knew
she couldn't protect me.
522
00:27:45,836 --> 00:27:47,527
That's why
she took her own life.
523
00:27:49,460 --> 00:27:51,359
[sniffles] Yes.
524
00:27:52,429 --> 00:27:54,707
It's all right. Take
your time. Take your time.
525
00:27:55,535 --> 00:27:57,020
You're doing well, Jo.
526
00:28:00,713 --> 00:28:03,302
So Tommy hid from you
he was your real father?
527
00:28:04,959 --> 00:28:06,236
Yes.
528
00:28:07,444 --> 00:28:09,273
Who did you believe
was your father?
529
00:28:14,037 --> 00:28:15,624
This person,
530
00:28:15,728 --> 00:28:17,868
did he control you
the same way Tommy Hunter did?
531
00:28:17,972 --> 00:28:19,318
MAN: We can all see
my colleague finds
532
00:28:19,421 --> 00:28:22,424
this line of questioning
extremely distressing.
533
00:28:22,528 --> 00:28:24,150
In regard
to coercion and control,
534
00:28:24,254 --> 00:28:26,705
my colleague should be treated
as a vulnerable person.
535
00:28:26,808 --> 00:28:27,844
We'll move on. Tommy Hunter's
536
00:28:27,947 --> 00:28:29,293
no longer
a person of interest.
537
00:28:29,397 --> 00:28:31,019
I mean, he became an informant
and was killed
538
00:28:31,123 --> 00:28:34,126
by his own organisation
in 2014.
539
00:28:34,229 --> 00:28:37,198
It wasn't simply that
he was an informant, ma'am.
540
00:28:38,889 --> 00:28:40,063
What do you mean?
541
00:28:40,166 --> 00:28:42,306
Tommy had
cultivated relationships
542
00:28:42,410 --> 00:28:44,239
with corrupt police officers.
543
00:28:44,343 --> 00:28:46,414
But they started
to turn against him.
544
00:28:47,691 --> 00:28:49,382
He felt betrayed,
545
00:28:50,798 --> 00:28:53,939
so he threatened
to expose the mole.
546
00:28:54,042 --> 00:28:57,666
So it was police officers
who got Hunter killed?
547
00:28:57,770 --> 00:29:00,117
They were heavily involved.
548
00:29:00,221 --> 00:29:01,912
As you know,
your former officer,
549
00:29:02,016 --> 00:29:04,950
DI Matthew Cottan,
he orchestrated the plan.
550
00:29:05,053 --> 00:29:06,675
Cottan was a disgrace
to the uniform.
551
00:29:06,779 --> 00:29:08,712
He betrayed the trust
of every single one of us
552
00:29:08,816 --> 00:29:10,058
that he worked with.
553
00:29:10,162 --> 00:29:11,301
ARNOTT:
So someone took Tommy's place
554
00:29:11,404 --> 00:29:12,681
at the top
of the organisation,
555
00:29:12,785 --> 00:29:15,132
and he gave Cottan
the order to kill Tommy?
556
00:29:15,236 --> 00:29:17,997
Tommy held it altogether.
557
00:29:18,101 --> 00:29:20,689
It broke up
into disparate elements.
558
00:29:20,793 --> 00:29:22,105
Smaller OCGs.
559
00:29:22,208 --> 00:29:23,692
The only thing
that united them was
560
00:29:23,796 --> 00:29:24,935
how much they stood to lose
561
00:29:25,039 --> 00:29:26,557
if Tommy carried out
his threat.
562
00:29:26,661 --> 00:29:28,249
'Cause they relied
on corrupt officers
563
00:29:28,352 --> 00:29:30,527
to carry out many of their
criminal enterprises?
564
00:29:30,769 --> 00:29:32,253
Yes.
565
00:29:32,356 --> 00:29:35,221
And they wanted to be able
to continue exploiting them.
566
00:29:35,325 --> 00:29:37,776
Yes, well, the OCGs, they may
not be working to one man,
567
00:29:37,879 --> 00:29:40,261
but the bent coppers,
that's a different story.
568
00:29:40,364 --> 00:29:41,400
They're a network,
aren't they?
569
00:29:41,503 --> 00:29:43,091
This force has detected
no evidence
570
00:29:43,195 --> 00:29:44,644
of institutionalised
corruption.
571
00:29:44,748 --> 00:29:47,233
We have identified a number
of high-ranking figures
572
00:29:47,337 --> 00:29:50,236
in a clandestine network
of corrupt police officers.
573
00:29:50,340 --> 00:29:51,720
Hypothetical network.
574
00:29:51,824 --> 00:29:53,377
One such high-ranking figure,
575
00:29:53,481 --> 00:29:55,207
once erroneously codenamed H,
576
00:29:55,310 --> 00:29:57,519
we now refer to
as the fourth man,
577
00:29:57,623 --> 00:29:58,693
is he running the show?
578
00:30:00,764 --> 00:30:01,800
No comment.
579
00:30:03,284 --> 00:30:05,286
We're here to examine
DCI Davidson's offending.
580
00:30:05,389 --> 00:30:07,702
-No one else's.
-Alleged offending.
581
00:30:07,806 --> 00:30:09,600
HASTINGS: Are you taking
your orders from him?
582
00:30:09,704 --> 00:30:11,188
Who is the fourth man?
583
00:30:13,328 --> 00:30:15,606
-I don't know.
-I don't believe you.
584
00:30:15,710 --> 00:30:17,401
Let's move on. Turning
to Operation Lighthouse,
585
00:30:17,505 --> 00:30:19,610
the inquiry
into the murder of Gail Vella,
586
00:30:19,714 --> 00:30:22,406
opened on the 10th
of September, 2019.
587
00:30:22,510 --> 00:30:25,099
You became senior
investigating officer when?
588
00:30:25,202 --> 00:30:27,618
The following month,
6th of October.
589
00:30:27,722 --> 00:30:28,688
Your predecessor was removed
590
00:30:28,792 --> 00:30:31,415
allegedly due to the inquiry's
slow progress.
591
00:30:32,796 --> 00:30:34,660
How did you
come to be appointed?
592
00:30:35,592 --> 00:30:38,181
I'm an experienced
murder investigator.
593
00:30:39,182 --> 00:30:41,080
ARNOTT: Image 24 on screen.
594
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,707
What is shown on Image 24?
595
00:30:47,811 --> 00:30:49,330
No comment.
596
00:30:49,433 --> 00:30:52,333
Image 24 shows
item reference FD-8
597
00:30:52,436 --> 00:30:54,542
seized in evidence
during a search of apartment
598
00:30:54,645 --> 00:30:56,199
G-9 Croxford Street.
599
00:30:56,302 --> 00:30:58,442
Document 39 in your folders.
600
00:30:58,546 --> 00:31:01,860
Document 39 is a photocopy
of the content of FD-8.
601
00:31:01,963 --> 00:31:03,758
You will see that FD-8
contain documents
602
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:05,449
relating to Operation Lighthouse.
603
00:31:05,553 --> 00:31:06,899
Now these documents
were not present
604
00:31:07,003 --> 00:31:08,211
at Hillside Lane
Police Station
605
00:31:08,314 --> 00:31:10,178
on the 4th of November
of this year,
606
00:31:10,282 --> 00:31:11,904
when AC-12 seized all files
607
00:31:12,008 --> 00:31:13,388
relating to Operation Lighthouse.
608
00:31:13,492 --> 00:31:15,528
Why were these documents
in your apartment?
609
00:31:17,013 --> 00:31:18,359
No comment.
610
00:31:18,462 --> 00:31:20,188
HASTINGS: These documents
revealed for the first time
611
00:31:20,292 --> 00:31:22,604
that Detective Superintendent
Ian Buckells noted
612
00:31:22,708 --> 00:31:26,505
that your predecessor and SIO
was pursuing a line of inquiry
613
00:31:26,608 --> 00:31:29,197
that Gail Vella's murder
was a contract killing
614
00:31:29,301 --> 00:31:31,303
carried out
by organised criminals.
615
00:31:31,406 --> 00:31:33,892
However, Detective
Superintendent Buckells
616
00:31:33,995 --> 00:31:35,686
then wrote a memorandum
suggesting that
617
00:31:35,790 --> 00:31:38,517
the SIO was failing
to make any progress
618
00:31:38,620 --> 00:31:41,244
and that a new SIO
be appointed.
619
00:31:41,347 --> 00:31:44,212
Buckells mentions you by name.
Did you ever work together?
620
00:31:45,179 --> 00:31:47,112
Not to my knowledge.
621
00:31:47,215 --> 00:31:50,287
Hmm. So what motivated
Ian Buckells nominating you
622
00:31:50,391 --> 00:31:52,255
to be the senior
investigating officer
623
00:31:52,358 --> 00:31:53,739
on the Gail Vella murder?
624
00:31:53,842 --> 00:31:55,223
You'd have to ask
Ian Buckells.
625
00:31:55,327 --> 00:31:56,397
HASTINGS: Yes, well, we did,
626
00:31:56,500 --> 00:31:59,469
and he denies all knowledge
of the documents.
627
00:31:59,572 --> 00:32:01,333
ARNOTT: The same way
he still claims no knowledge
628
00:32:01,436 --> 00:32:03,093
of the missing
Operation Lighthouse files
629
00:32:03,197 --> 00:32:05,820
subsequently found hidden
in his service vehicle.
630
00:32:05,924 --> 00:32:08,927
Did you,
or someone close to you,
631
00:32:09,030 --> 00:32:10,204
engineer your appointment
632
00:32:10,307 --> 00:32:12,447
with Buckells
as the convenient stooge?
633
00:32:12,965 --> 00:32:14,242
No comment.
634
00:32:14,346 --> 00:32:16,244
You see, the last thing that
organised crime would want
635
00:32:16,348 --> 00:32:18,419
is Operation Lighthouse
coming knocking on their door.
636
00:32:18,522 --> 00:32:20,110
So they had to put in
a new SIO
637
00:32:20,214 --> 00:32:22,078
to suppress
that line of inquiry
638
00:32:22,181 --> 00:32:24,494
in favour of a random
act of violence
639
00:32:24,597 --> 00:32:27,911
perpetrated by a disturbed
individual acting alone.
640
00:32:28,015 --> 00:32:30,879
A frame that neatly fits
Terry Boyle.
641
00:32:30,983 --> 00:32:33,227
I refused
to charge Terry Boyle.
642
00:32:33,917 --> 00:32:35,332
ARNOTT: Well, why not?
643
00:32:35,436 --> 00:32:36,989
There was just about
enough evidence.
644
00:32:37,093 --> 00:32:39,543
Why did you not seek authority
to charge Boyle?
645
00:32:42,443 --> 00:32:44,376
HASTINGS: Was it because you
couldn't go through with it?
646
00:32:48,173 --> 00:32:50,416
Is it because you just
couldn't live with the idea
647
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,281
of sending an innocent man
to trial?
648
00:32:55,007 --> 00:32:56,284
Yes.
649
00:32:57,527 --> 00:33:00,150
Good. At last,
we're getting somewhere.
650
00:33:00,254 --> 00:33:02,152
Okay, let's examine
the other recent prime suspect
651
00:33:02,256 --> 00:33:04,258
identified by Operation Lighthouse.
652
00:33:04,879 --> 00:33:06,950
Image 29 on screen.
653
00:33:07,054 --> 00:33:09,504
Image 29 shows
Terry Boyle on the right.
654
00:33:09,608 --> 00:33:12,024
On the left,
Image 29 shows Carl Banks.
655
00:33:12,128 --> 00:33:13,888
Carl Banks
was a nonviolent offender
656
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:16,270
with lifelong links
to organised crime.
657
00:33:16,373 --> 00:33:17,754
On the night
of the 26th of October,
658
00:33:17,857 --> 00:33:19,894
the Murder Investigation Team
received a tip-off
659
00:33:19,998 --> 00:33:22,483
that an individual who was
almost certainly Carl Banks
660
00:33:22,586 --> 00:33:25,072
had confessed
to the murder of Gail Vella.
661
00:33:25,175 --> 00:33:27,074
As a result
of delays and leaks,
662
00:33:27,177 --> 00:33:29,076
Carl Banks was abducted
and murdered
663
00:33:29,179 --> 00:33:31,147
and Terry Boyle
installed in his place.
664
00:33:31,250 --> 00:33:34,012
PS Farida Jatri was charged
with leaking the information
665
00:33:34,115 --> 00:33:38,395
based on evidence
seized from 29 Stalton Drive.
666
00:33:38,499 --> 00:33:42,192
The address where she claims
the two of you lived.
667
00:33:42,296 --> 00:33:45,023
Did you plant evidence
against Farida Jatri?
668
00:33:47,646 --> 00:33:48,716
No comment.
669
00:33:50,787 --> 00:33:52,168
You've already told us
670
00:33:52,271 --> 00:33:55,378
that you were coerced
into a life of crime,
671
00:33:55,481 --> 00:33:59,002
that you were forced
to mislead and deceive.
672
00:33:59,106 --> 00:34:01,349
Here, now, you have a choice.
673
00:34:02,109 --> 00:34:05,284
A choice to tell the truth.
674
00:34:13,948 --> 00:34:16,123
I planted the burner phones.
675
00:34:16,226 --> 00:34:17,814
Farida's innocent.
676
00:34:18,746 --> 00:34:19,816
Good.
677
00:34:20,955 --> 00:34:23,130
Good.
678
00:34:23,233 --> 00:34:25,684
Who leaked the information
regarding the operation
679
00:34:25,787 --> 00:34:27,237
to arrest Carl Banks?
680
00:34:27,686 --> 00:34:28,825
I did.
681
00:34:28,928 --> 00:34:29,929
ARNOTT: And the armed robbery
682
00:34:30,033 --> 00:34:31,690
staged to coincide
with the operation...
683
00:34:32,173 --> 00:34:33,657
You knew about that?
684
00:34:33,761 --> 00:34:37,109
It was a decoy I used
to delay Banks' arrest.
685
00:34:37,213 --> 00:34:38,421
And the mistakes
in surveillance
686
00:34:38,524 --> 00:34:41,458
attributed Detective
Superintendent Buckells.
687
00:34:41,562 --> 00:34:44,703
I manipulated him into those.
It wasn't hard.
688
00:34:44,806 --> 00:34:45,980
And the files
that were planted
689
00:34:46,084 --> 00:34:47,223
in his service vehicle?
690
00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:50,881
I planted those.
691
00:34:50,985 --> 00:34:52,159
What about the witness
who came forward
692
00:34:52,262 --> 00:34:53,746
to incriminate Terry Boyle?
693
00:34:53,850 --> 00:34:55,162
Deborah Devereux.
694
00:34:55,265 --> 00:34:56,370
All I know is we found out
695
00:34:56,473 --> 00:34:59,442
she was a former girlfriend
of DSU Buckells.
696
00:34:59,545 --> 00:35:01,892
ARNOTT: And the full statement
from Deborah Devereux,
697
00:35:01,996 --> 00:35:03,515
Buckells set that up?
698
00:35:03,618 --> 00:35:06,725
I don't know if he set that up
himself or someone else did.
699
00:35:06,828 --> 00:35:08,140
Why would he do that?
700
00:35:09,176 --> 00:35:11,557
He was worried the failure
to solve the murder
701
00:35:11,661 --> 00:35:13,318
was making him look bad.
702
00:35:13,421 --> 00:35:15,527
He was desperate for me
to charge someone.
703
00:35:15,630 --> 00:35:17,632
Let's be clear.
You have no evidence
704
00:35:17,736 --> 00:35:18,875
that Buckells was responsible
705
00:35:18,978 --> 00:35:20,704
for Deborah Devereux's
full statement?
706
00:35:21,222 --> 00:35:22,603
Correct, ma'am.
707
00:35:22,706 --> 00:35:24,950
And his desire
to charge Terry Boyle
708
00:35:25,053 --> 00:35:27,090
was born
out of a legitimate fear
709
00:35:27,194 --> 00:35:29,127
for the advancement
of his career?
710
00:35:29,713 --> 00:35:31,957
It appeared so, ma'am.
711
00:35:32,060 --> 00:35:33,614
DI Arnott, can you bookmark
the DI's answer as
712
00:35:33,717 --> 00:35:34,891
a significant testimony
713
00:35:34,994 --> 00:35:36,134
in determining
whether the charges
714
00:35:36,237 --> 00:35:37,618
against Detective
Superintendent Buckells
715
00:35:37,721 --> 00:35:38,688
should be discontinued?
716
00:35:43,555 --> 00:35:44,970
Okay, moving on.
What can you tell us
717
00:35:45,073 --> 00:35:47,075
about the evidence
against Terry Boyle?
718
00:35:48,353 --> 00:35:50,941
The images of Gail Vella
found in his flat
719
00:35:51,045 --> 00:35:52,460
would seem
to have been planted.
720
00:35:52,564 --> 00:35:54,635
To the best of your knowledge,
was Terry Boyle involved
721
00:35:54,738 --> 00:35:56,084
in the murder of Gail Vella?
722
00:35:56,637 --> 00:35:58,190
No, he was not.
723
00:35:58,294 --> 00:36:00,710
To the best of your knowledge,
was Carl Banks involved
724
00:36:00,813 --> 00:36:02,436
in the murder of Gail Vella?
725
00:36:06,750 --> 00:36:08,062
No comment.
726
00:36:08,166 --> 00:36:10,098
Here we go again.
727
00:36:10,202 --> 00:36:12,066
We know Gail Vella attempted
to make contact
728
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:13,930
with Carl Banks' brother,
Lee Banks,
729
00:36:14,033 --> 00:36:15,552
an inmate
in Blackthorn Prison.
730
00:36:16,553 --> 00:36:18,245
We believe
Lee Banks informed Carl
731
00:36:18,348 --> 00:36:19,901
Gail Vella
was investigating stories
732
00:36:20,005 --> 00:36:22,352
that the OCG
were determined to suppress.
733
00:36:22,456 --> 00:36:24,837
In regards Gail Vella's
investigative journalism,
734
00:36:24,941 --> 00:36:26,356
let's now examine
your movements
735
00:36:26,460 --> 00:36:29,256
prior to your arrest
last night. DI Arnott.
736
00:36:29,359 --> 00:36:31,430
On screen, Image 41.
737
00:36:31,534 --> 00:36:33,570
Image 41 is a map
showing telemetry
738
00:36:33,674 --> 00:36:35,331
from a tracking device
attached to vehicle
739
00:36:35,434 --> 00:36:38,265
Victor, Oscar, 6-9,
Golf, Kilo, Yankee
740
00:36:38,368 --> 00:36:41,613
in the early hours
of the 24th of November, 2020.
741
00:36:41,716 --> 00:36:44,202
Victor, Oscar, 6-9,
Golf, Kilo, Yankee
742
00:36:44,305 --> 00:36:45,858
is the vehicle in which
you were a passenger
743
00:36:45,962 --> 00:36:47,688
at the time of your arrest.
744
00:36:47,791 --> 00:36:50,449
Telemetry location two is the
scene of Gail Vella's murder.
745
00:36:50,553 --> 00:36:53,901
Telemetry location three
relates the derelict premises
746
00:36:54,004 --> 00:36:55,730
of the Kingsgate
Printing Services.
747
00:36:55,834 --> 00:36:58,077
Who's directing
the movements of the vehicle?
748
00:36:59,182 --> 00:37:00,459
No comment.
749
00:37:00,563 --> 00:37:02,737
A forensic search
of Kingsgate Printing Services
750
00:37:02,841 --> 00:37:04,601
has been carried out.
751
00:37:05,706 --> 00:37:07,466
Image 45 on screen.
752
00:37:07,570 --> 00:37:09,606
Image 45,
it's a crime scene photograph
753
00:37:09,710 --> 00:37:12,091
captured at
Kingsgate Printing services,
754
00:37:12,195 --> 00:37:14,370
showing the inside
of the abandoned premises.
755
00:37:14,922 --> 00:37:16,717
Image 46.
756
00:37:16,820 --> 00:37:18,788
Image 46
is an item of evidence
757
00:37:18,891 --> 00:37:20,238
detected by the search team.
758
00:37:20,341 --> 00:37:21,998
Item reference TG-8.
759
00:37:22,101 --> 00:37:24,138
TG-8 is a metal strongbox.
760
00:37:24,242 --> 00:37:27,106
Contents of TG-8
shown in Image 47.
761
00:37:28,315 --> 00:37:30,351
What is shown in Image 47?
762
00:37:30,834 --> 00:37:32,319
No comment.
763
00:37:32,422 --> 00:37:36,633
Image 47 shows item references
TG-11 and TG-12.
764
00:37:36,737 --> 00:37:37,565
A laptop computer
765
00:37:37,669 --> 00:37:39,809
and desktop computer,
respectively.
766
00:37:39,912 --> 00:37:42,018
Forensic examination
of these devices
767
00:37:42,121 --> 00:37:44,434
detected fingerprints
matching Gail Vella.
768
00:37:44,538 --> 00:37:46,091
HASTINGS: We believe
these devices were stolen
769
00:37:46,194 --> 00:37:48,300
from Gail Vella's home
around the time of her murder.
770
00:37:48,404 --> 00:37:51,441
Now the Operation Lighthouse
files that you withheld
771
00:37:51,545 --> 00:37:56,239
relate in part to evidence
of the theft of these devices.
772
00:37:56,343 --> 00:37:59,277
This is crucial evidence
you hid.
773
00:38:00,381 --> 00:38:02,418
I was leading
Kate Fleming there
774
00:38:02,521 --> 00:38:04,592
to uncover
the evidence to prove...
775
00:38:07,526 --> 00:38:08,700
Prove what?
776
00:38:10,874 --> 00:38:12,566
That I'm not bent.
777
00:38:13,739 --> 00:38:16,949
Yes, but you hid this evidence
for months.
778
00:38:17,053 --> 00:38:19,020
Not months. No.
779
00:38:19,918 --> 00:38:21,437
That's not what happened.
780
00:38:22,576 --> 00:38:25,130
I only began to suspect
the evidence might be there
781
00:38:25,233 --> 00:38:27,097
after Terry Boyle's arrest.
782
00:38:28,513 --> 00:38:32,310
The print shop had been
long abandoned by the OCG.
783
00:38:32,413 --> 00:38:34,967
Police searches
concluded there 18 months ago,
784
00:38:35,071 --> 00:38:37,591
and it was
right across the street.
785
00:38:37,694 --> 00:38:39,800
But you never ordered
a search of the print shop.
786
00:38:43,493 --> 00:38:44,736
ARNOTT:
Cyber Crime examined
787
00:38:44,839 --> 00:38:46,738
the hard drives
of both devices.
788
00:38:46,841 --> 00:38:50,017
Passwords were input
to access the stored files.
789
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,536
How were these passwords
being obtained?
790
00:38:53,123 --> 00:38:54,193
No comment.
791
00:38:54,297 --> 00:38:55,298
Well, taking for granted
792
00:38:55,402 --> 00:38:57,127
the involvement
of organised crime,
793
00:38:57,231 --> 00:38:59,198
I'd suggest an employee
in the IT Department
794
00:38:59,302 --> 00:39:01,269
of Gail Vella's news service
was exploited
795
00:39:01,373 --> 00:39:04,031
using bribery, blackmail
or intimidation.
796
00:39:05,032 --> 00:39:06,102
No comment.
797
00:39:06,205 --> 00:39:07,414
Numerous files were detected
798
00:39:07,517 --> 00:39:09,139
relating to Gail Vella's
investigations
799
00:39:09,243 --> 00:39:10,934
into the links
between organised crime
800
00:39:11,038 --> 00:39:12,246
and corrupt police officers.
801
00:39:12,902 --> 00:39:14,282
We have found audio files
802
00:39:14,386 --> 00:39:16,319
of interviews
of Jimmy Lakewell.
803
00:39:16,423 --> 00:39:18,079
We have found research files
804
00:39:18,183 --> 00:39:20,219
confirming that Gail Vella
was investigating
805
00:39:20,323 --> 00:39:22,152
the suppression
of police inquiries
806
00:39:22,256 --> 00:39:25,708
into historic
child sexual exploitation.
807
00:39:25,811 --> 00:39:26,950
And we have found research
808
00:39:27,054 --> 00:39:29,988
confirming that Gail Vella
was digging deep
809
00:39:30,091 --> 00:39:31,886
into police failure
810
00:39:31,990 --> 00:39:34,233
in the murder
of Lawrence Christopher.
811
00:39:36,028 --> 00:39:37,444
Did you know
Gail Vella was looking
812
00:39:37,547 --> 00:39:39,377
into the Lawrence Christopher
murder?
813
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:40,550
No.
814
00:39:41,793 --> 00:39:43,104
ARNOTT: According to notes
found on Gail Vella's devices,
815
00:39:43,208 --> 00:39:45,935
she visited Lee Banks
on 26th of August, 2019,
816
00:39:46,038 --> 00:39:47,212
in Blackthorn Prison.
817
00:39:47,315 --> 00:39:50,802
Now as you know, Lee Banks
is Carl Banks' brother.
818
00:39:50,905 --> 00:39:52,182
It appears
from Gail Vella's notes
819
00:39:52,286 --> 00:39:54,184
that Lee Banks declined
to furnish any information
820
00:39:54,288 --> 00:39:56,463
regarding the murder
of Lawrence Christopher.
821
00:39:56,566 --> 00:39:58,465
We believe
Lee informed Carl Banks
822
00:39:58,568 --> 00:40:01,916
and this was in large part
the motivation for her murder.
823
00:40:02,020 --> 00:40:03,539
HASTINGS: Do you really
expect us to believe
824
00:40:03,642 --> 00:40:04,747
that you didn't know this?
825
00:40:06,473 --> 00:40:07,853
I didn't.
826
00:40:07,957 --> 00:40:09,890
[chuckles]
I'll give you "I didn't".
827
00:40:09,993 --> 00:40:11,167
One of the suspects
828
00:40:11,270 --> 00:40:12,651
in the Lawrence Christopher
murder is your cousin,
829
00:40:12,755 --> 00:40:14,239
Darren Hunter.
830
00:40:15,827 --> 00:40:17,380
I, erm...
831
00:40:17,484 --> 00:40:19,347
HASTINGS: I mean, maybe if
Darren had been arrested,
832
00:40:19,451 --> 00:40:20,418
he would have squealed.
833
00:40:20,521 --> 00:40:21,902
He would have given up
Tommy Hunter.
834
00:40:22,005 --> 00:40:23,559
He would have given up you.
835
00:40:23,662 --> 00:40:25,630
I... I didn't know.
836
00:40:25,733 --> 00:40:28,426
The initial inquiry into
Lawrence Christopher's murder
837
00:40:28,529 --> 00:40:30,911
was led by
DCI Marcus Thurwell.
838
00:40:31,014 --> 00:40:32,222
Do you know that name?
839
00:40:34,052 --> 00:40:35,122
No comment.
840
00:40:35,225 --> 00:40:37,227
ARNOTT:
On screen, image 75.
841
00:40:42,025 --> 00:40:44,131
Who is shown an image 75?
842
00:40:45,063 --> 00:40:46,409
No comment.
843
00:40:48,515 --> 00:40:50,448
On screen, image 77.
844
00:40:50,551 --> 00:40:52,553
The last known image
of the same individual.
845
00:40:53,140 --> 00:40:54,348
Who is that?
846
00:40:55,107 --> 00:40:56,902
No comment.
847
00:40:57,006 --> 00:40:59,111
Image 77
shows Marcus Thurwell.
848
00:41:00,250 --> 00:41:03,115
What's your relationship
to Marcus Thurwell?
849
00:41:05,428 --> 00:41:06,325
No comment.
850
00:41:06,429 --> 00:41:08,535
Files detected
on Gail Vella's computer
851
00:41:08,638 --> 00:41:10,019
proved that
she was investigating,
852
00:41:10,122 --> 00:41:11,227
not just Thurwell's role,
853
00:41:11,330 --> 00:41:14,126
but the role of other officers
in the inquiry.
854
00:41:15,507 --> 00:41:18,855
Notably Detective Constable
Ian Buckells,
855
00:41:18,959 --> 00:41:21,340
and Inspector Philip Osborne.
856
00:41:23,411 --> 00:41:25,137
The interviewee
has repeatedly claimed
857
00:41:25,241 --> 00:41:27,415
she doesn't know
about any of this.
858
00:41:27,519 --> 00:41:28,693
It's a dead end.
859
00:41:32,075 --> 00:41:33,491
So let's focus on events
860
00:41:33,594 --> 00:41:36,286
surrounding the killing
of PC Ryan Pilkington.
861
00:41:36,390 --> 00:41:39,255
Ma'am,
this is significant evidence
862
00:41:39,358 --> 00:41:41,326
crucial to the wider inquiry
863
00:41:41,429 --> 00:41:43,949
into institutionalised
corruption.
864
00:41:44,053 --> 00:41:46,849
Yes, and I would prefer
to confine ourselves
865
00:41:46,952 --> 00:41:48,091
to the set parameters
866
00:41:48,195 --> 00:41:50,646
of the anti-corruption inquiry
in front of us.
867
00:41:51,647 --> 00:41:52,924
DI Arnott,
868
00:41:53,027 --> 00:41:54,235
if you wouldn't mind,
869
00:41:54,339 --> 00:41:56,168
let's jiffy things along,
shall we?
870
00:41:56,893 --> 00:41:58,101
Ma'am.
871
00:41:58,792 --> 00:42:00,103
On screen,
872
00:42:00,207 --> 00:42:02,692
images 62 to 65, inclusive.
873
00:42:02,796 --> 00:42:07,007
Crime scene photographs
of PC Ryan Pilkington's body.
874
00:42:07,110 --> 00:42:09,250
How did Ryan Pilkington
meet his death?
875
00:42:09,803 --> 00:42:11,011
No comment.
876
00:42:11,977 --> 00:42:14,566
Document 60 in your folders.
877
00:42:14,670 --> 00:42:16,810
Document 60
is the forensic pathologist's
878
00:42:16,913 --> 00:42:19,571
post-mortem report
on Ryan Pilkington.
879
00:42:19,675 --> 00:42:22,712
Cause of death was two
gunshot wounds to the chest.
880
00:42:22,816 --> 00:42:26,336
At post-mortem, two Parabellum
9/19mm rounds
881
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,442
were recovered
from the thoracic cavity.
882
00:42:28,546 --> 00:42:32,135
Ryan Pilkington was fatally
wounded by a firearm.
883
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:33,792
Describe what happened.
884
00:42:36,726 --> 00:42:38,210
No comment.
885
00:42:38,728 --> 00:42:40,109
DI Arnott.
886
00:42:46,943 --> 00:42:48,462
DI Arnott.
887
00:42:52,397 --> 00:42:55,020
Document 78 in your folders.
888
00:42:55,124 --> 00:42:57,920
Document 78 is a report
issued by neighbours
889
00:42:58,023 --> 00:43:00,336
on the 24th of November, 2020.
890
00:43:00,439 --> 00:43:02,683
Please refer to page two,
paragraph six.
891
00:43:03,650 --> 00:43:04,927
Both Parabellum rounds
892
00:43:05,030 --> 00:43:06,549
recovered from the deceased
show markings
893
00:43:06,653 --> 00:43:09,345
consistent with being fired
from a Glock 17 pistol,
894
00:43:09,448 --> 00:43:12,900
serial number 2-7-7-5-3-1.
895
00:43:13,004 --> 00:43:16,283
2-7-7-5-3-1 is the firearm
lawfully issued
896
00:43:16,386 --> 00:43:18,457
on the 20th of November, 2020
897
00:43:18,561 --> 00:43:20,598
to Detective Inspector
Kate Fleming.
898
00:43:22,461 --> 00:43:24,187
Fingerprints matching
DI Fleming
899
00:43:24,291 --> 00:43:27,605
were also detected
on 2-7-7-5-3-1.
900
00:43:28,847 --> 00:43:31,574
Did DI Fleming shoot dead
Ryan Pilkington?
901
00:43:37,615 --> 00:43:38,823
No.
902
00:43:40,790 --> 00:43:41,826
No?
903
00:43:43,897 --> 00:43:45,312
Who, then?
904
00:43:47,694 --> 00:43:48,729
I did.
905
00:43:51,836 --> 00:43:53,182
Hmm.
906
00:43:54,528 --> 00:43:56,357
That doesn't square
with the forensic evidence,
907
00:43:56,461 --> 00:43:57,427
I'm afraid.
908
00:43:58,497 --> 00:44:01,121
Naturally, Kate's prints
were on the firearm.
909
00:44:01,224 --> 00:44:02,640
She'd handled it repeatedly.
910
00:44:02,743 --> 00:44:05,125
But you'll also have found
my prints on the firearm.
911
00:44:05,781 --> 00:44:07,196
That's correct. We did.
912
00:44:07,299 --> 00:44:09,474
Because she was forced
to hand it over to me.
913
00:44:10,717 --> 00:44:13,064
Ryan had her at gunpoint.
914
00:44:13,167 --> 00:44:15,514
I turned Kate's firearm
on Ryan.
915
00:44:18,552 --> 00:44:21,037
At the time of your arrest,
Fleming had her firearm.
916
00:44:21,141 --> 00:44:22,487
You had Pilkington's.
917
00:44:23,108 --> 00:44:25,214
I returned Kate's firearm.
918
00:44:25,317 --> 00:44:26,629
I picked up Ryan's.
919
00:44:27,768 --> 00:44:30,322
Forensic analysis of clothing
worn by DI Fleming
920
00:44:30,426 --> 00:44:32,946
detected a dense distribution
of gunshot residue
921
00:44:33,049 --> 00:44:34,326
on the right-hand sleeve,
922
00:44:34,430 --> 00:44:36,259
a finding commonly associated
923
00:44:36,363 --> 00:44:39,090
with the discharging
of a firearm.
924
00:44:40,712 --> 00:44:43,750
Kate was in the process
of handing me the firearm.
925
00:44:43,853 --> 00:44:45,855
when I turned the firearm
on Ryan
926
00:44:45,959 --> 00:44:48,271
and discharged
the fatal shots.
927
00:44:48,375 --> 00:44:51,033
Kate's sleeve absorbed
the gunshot powder.
928
00:44:51,654 --> 00:44:53,242
Joanne Davidson.
929
00:44:53,967 --> 00:44:55,347
To be clear,
930
00:44:55,865 --> 00:44:56,970
you are confessing
931
00:44:57,073 --> 00:44:59,282
to the murder
of Ryan Pilkington,
932
00:45:00,698 --> 00:45:02,147
No, ma'am.
933
00:45:03,183 --> 00:45:06,082
Pilkington was about to fire
on DI Fleming.
934
00:45:06,186 --> 00:45:07,221
At the time of the incident,
935
00:45:07,325 --> 00:45:09,499
I was a serving
police officer.
936
00:45:09,603 --> 00:45:14,125
Under common law section three
of the Criminal Law Act 1967,
937
00:45:14,228 --> 00:45:15,367
and Section 117
938
00:45:15,471 --> 00:45:18,301
of the Police and Criminal
Evidence Act 1984,
939
00:45:18,405 --> 00:45:20,510
I am permitted
to employ lethal force
940
00:45:20,614 --> 00:45:23,272
to prevent
an imminent threat to life.
941
00:45:23,375 --> 00:45:25,136
My colleague
was acting lawfully.
942
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,621
I think you'll find
that's for a court to decide.
943
00:45:31,867 --> 00:45:34,352
You weren't in league
with Pilkington?
944
00:45:34,455 --> 00:45:38,425
Ryan Pilkington was imposed
on MIT against my will.
945
00:45:38,528 --> 00:45:41,290
I was fully aware
of his OCG connections.
946
00:45:42,187 --> 00:45:43,879
He was there to intimidate me
947
00:45:43,982 --> 00:45:46,260
into misleading
Operation Lighthouse.
948
00:45:49,539 --> 00:45:51,818
So, who was giving
Pilkington his orders?
949
00:45:51,921 --> 00:45:53,164
Was it Marcus Thurwell?
950
00:45:54,924 --> 00:45:56,167
No comment.
951
00:45:56,270 --> 00:45:58,307
We have presented
clear evidence
952
00:45:58,410 --> 00:46:01,034
that you were getting
your instructions from Spain.
953
00:46:01,137 --> 00:46:02,207
We also know
from our inquiries
954
00:46:02,311 --> 00:46:03,761
that Thurwell was in Spain.
955
00:46:05,038 --> 00:46:07,626
Is this the person
running the show? Yes?
956
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:09,836
No comment.
957
00:46:09,939 --> 00:46:12,562
Marcus Thurwell was SIO
958
00:46:12,666 --> 00:46:14,772
in the Lawrence Christopher
murder inquiry.
959
00:46:14,875 --> 00:46:15,911
Now, we believe
960
00:46:16,014 --> 00:46:19,121
that he deliberately
misled that inquiry
961
00:46:19,224 --> 00:46:21,951
to protect Darren Hunter,
Tommy Hunter's son,
962
00:46:22,055 --> 00:46:25,023
on the expressed orders
of Tommy Hunter.
963
00:46:26,438 --> 00:46:27,785
No comment.
964
00:46:27,888 --> 00:46:29,062
Lawrence Christopher,
965
00:46:29,165 --> 00:46:31,305
he was an architect.
he was a model citizen,
966
00:46:31,409 --> 00:46:34,343
he had his head smashed in
with a piece of lead piping
967
00:46:34,446 --> 00:46:36,379
by a bunch of racist thugs,
968
00:46:36,483 --> 00:46:38,347
one of whom was your cousin.
969
00:46:38,450 --> 00:46:40,556
Superintendent, your
questioning is oppressive.
970
00:46:40,659 --> 00:46:41,591
I'll give you oppressive.
971
00:46:42,661 --> 00:46:43,628
Look, that lad had
his whole life ahead of him,
972
00:46:43,731 --> 00:46:45,009
just like Gail Vella.
973
00:46:47,839 --> 00:46:50,014
They both died
horrible deaths.
974
00:46:50,117 --> 00:46:52,257
I dread to imagine
what they suffered.
975
00:46:52,361 --> 00:46:54,846
Yes. Well, then
give them justice.
976
00:46:54,950 --> 00:46:56,779
Tell us
who's giving the orders.
977
00:46:57,953 --> 00:46:59,161
I can't.
978
00:46:59,609 --> 00:47:00,507
I'm sorry.
979
00:47:00,610 --> 00:47:02,060
Is it Thurwell?
Is it someone else?
980
00:47:02,164 --> 00:47:04,166
-It is Osborne?
-I think we'll leave it there.
981
00:47:04,269 --> 00:47:06,513
Is it the Chief Constable?
982
00:47:06,616 --> 00:47:10,103
Thank you,
Superintendent Hastings.
983
00:47:10,206 --> 00:47:12,484
Joanne Davidson, do you have
anything further to say?
984
00:47:13,658 --> 00:47:15,487
[sniffles] No.
985
00:47:15,591 --> 00:47:17,110
Joanne Davidson,
I've been in consultation
986
00:47:17,213 --> 00:47:19,250
with the senior prosecutor
at the Complex Case Unit.
987
00:47:19,353 --> 00:47:21,079
Nothing you have disclosed
during this interview
988
00:47:21,183 --> 00:47:22,494
has impacted
on those discussions,
989
00:47:22,598 --> 00:47:25,014
and, therefore,
I am authorised to charge you
990
00:47:25,118 --> 00:47:26,464
with the following offences.
991
00:47:26,567 --> 00:47:27,879
Perverting the course
of justice
992
00:47:27,983 --> 00:47:29,570
and malfeasance
in a public office.
993
00:47:29,674 --> 00:47:32,297
I will consult further
regarding conspiracy
994
00:47:32,401 --> 00:47:34,955
to murder DI Kate Fleming
995
00:47:35,059 --> 00:47:37,647
and any charges
relating to the death
996
00:47:37,751 --> 00:47:39,132
of PC Ryan Pilkington.
997
00:47:39,235 --> 00:47:41,203
You will be remanded
in custody.
998
00:47:42,135 --> 00:47:46,242
Interview terminated at 11:43.
999
00:47:50,384 --> 00:47:51,938
You take care
of the custody, son,
1000
00:47:52,041 --> 00:47:53,456
just leave this one to me.
1001
00:48:03,087 --> 00:48:04,364
I'm sorry.
1002
00:48:05,020 --> 00:48:07,746
Yeah. Me too.
1003
00:48:14,961 --> 00:48:16,445
You and I both know
that Jo Davidson's
1004
00:48:16,548 --> 00:48:19,379
the best chance we ever had
of blowing wide open
1005
00:48:19,482 --> 00:48:21,174
the network
of corrupt police officers
1006
00:48:21,277 --> 00:48:23,831
in league
with organised crime.
1007
00:48:23,935 --> 00:48:25,557
I must have been in
another interview,
1008
00:48:25,661 --> 00:48:27,456
because every other answer
I heard was, "No comment."
1009
00:48:27,559 --> 00:48:29,492
You let her
off the hook, ma'am.
1010
00:48:29,596 --> 00:48:31,287
And as for shutting down
all my questions
1011
00:48:31,391 --> 00:48:33,600
-about the fourth man...
-Superintendent.
1012
00:48:33,703 --> 00:48:36,430
You are bitter about AC-12
being merged. Who wouldn't be?
1013
00:48:36,534 --> 00:48:38,087
It's got nothing
to do with that.
1014
00:48:38,191 --> 00:48:40,124
Inquiries into Jo Davidson
will continue.
1015
00:48:40,227 --> 00:48:43,127
She has more to reveal.
We will get there in time.
1016
00:48:45,060 --> 00:48:46,440
I don't have time.
1017
00:48:47,821 --> 00:48:48,891
[sighs]
1018
00:48:48,995 --> 00:48:50,513
[indistinct chatter]
1019
00:48:59,039 --> 00:49:00,351
[notification beeps]
1020
00:49:24,754 --> 00:49:26,066
Sir?
1021
00:49:27,723 --> 00:49:31,589
Sometimes you
don't lose, son,
1022
00:49:33,315 --> 00:49:35,282
you just run out of time.
1023
00:49:37,319 --> 00:49:39,252
[slow instrumental
music playing]
1024
00:49:46,466 --> 00:49:47,501
As you were.
1025
00:49:53,645 --> 00:49:55,130
The Crown Prosecutor
is gullible enough
1026
00:49:55,233 --> 00:49:57,787
to consider proceedings
against Jo Davidson alone
1027
00:49:57,891 --> 00:49:59,651
in the death
of Ryan Pilkington.
1028
00:50:00,687 --> 00:50:02,275
Thank you very much, ma'am.
1029
00:50:07,590 --> 00:50:09,385
Two shots to the chest,
1030
00:50:10,041 --> 00:50:12,216
double tap. Mm.
1031
00:50:12,319 --> 00:50:14,356
Like a firearms-
trained officer.
1032
00:50:17,152 --> 00:50:20,086
Davidson's not
firearms trained, is she?
1033
00:50:22,088 --> 00:50:23,813
You are, though,
aren't you, Kate?
1034
00:50:25,091 --> 00:50:26,471
That's correct, ma'am.
1035
00:50:30,268 --> 00:50:33,064
So you'll provide a first
account for my, er, team
1036
00:50:33,168 --> 00:50:34,583
and then you're free to go.
1037
00:50:37,896 --> 00:50:39,553
I'm not gullible, Kate.
1038
00:50:41,900 --> 00:50:43,454
But I am pragmatic.
1039
00:50:47,975 --> 00:50:49,184
[door opens]
1040
00:51:09,031 --> 00:51:10,205
All right?
1041
00:51:11,689 --> 00:51:12,828
All right.
1042
00:51:12,931 --> 00:51:14,381
Thought we'd got rid of you.
1043
00:51:14,485 --> 00:51:16,176
[chuckles softly]
No such luck.
1044
00:51:17,557 --> 00:51:19,041
You sure you're OK?
1045
00:51:19,145 --> 00:51:20,215
I know
nobody's coming after you
1046
00:51:20,318 --> 00:51:21,492
over Ryan Pilkington's
shooting.
1047
00:51:21,595 --> 00:51:23,390
If you ever need
to talk about it...
1048
00:51:24,702 --> 00:51:27,567
Thanks, mate.
I appreciate it, but I'm fine.
1049
00:51:28,533 --> 00:51:30,604
So what did you
get out of Jo?
1050
00:51:30,708 --> 00:51:32,227
A lot less than we needed.
1051
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,920
Did she say anything
about her family history?
1052
00:51:36,023 --> 00:51:37,473
She told me
her dad was a police officer.
1053
00:51:37,577 --> 00:51:39,441
No. Never even gave us
that much.
1054
00:51:40,166 --> 00:51:41,443
She's scared, Steve.
1055
00:51:41,546 --> 00:51:44,273
After what happened
to Tommy, Lakewell,
1056
00:51:44,377 --> 00:51:46,379
never mind John Corbett.
1057
00:51:46,482 --> 00:51:48,450
That's why we've got her
on the VPU apprentice,
1058
00:51:48,553 --> 00:51:51,073
security cameras
monitoring access to her cell.
1059
00:51:52,626 --> 00:51:53,696
So, what now?
1060
00:51:55,146 --> 00:51:58,839
Well, we're into the forensics
at the OCG workshop.
1061
00:51:58,943 --> 00:52:00,220
And as I'm
the senior detective
1062
00:52:00,324 --> 00:52:02,015
left on Operation Lighthouse,
1063
00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:03,189
I could be
the point of contact
1064
00:52:03,292 --> 00:52:05,260
between MIT and AC-12.
1065
00:52:06,192 --> 00:52:07,779
Works for me, mate.
1066
00:52:07,883 --> 00:52:09,195
Let's get this job done.
1067
00:52:09,298 --> 00:52:10,403
-I'll drive.
-I'll drive.
1068
00:52:11,542 --> 00:52:12,612
[scoffs]
1069
00:52:14,303 --> 00:52:16,857
It'll be in the Red Lion
by 8:00. Nice work.
1070
00:52:16,961 --> 00:52:18,135
FLEMING: All right, Chris.
1071
00:52:18,238 --> 00:52:20,206
-Ma'am.
-You remember DI Arnott.
1072
00:52:20,654 --> 00:52:22,518
Sir.
1073
00:52:22,622 --> 00:52:25,245
Don't act like a tit, sarge.
We're all in it together.
1074
00:52:26,936 --> 00:52:28,145
What have you found?
1075
00:52:29,905 --> 00:52:33,046
There's strong evidence
of workshop in the firearms.
1076
00:52:33,150 --> 00:52:34,910
Neighbours have given
a preliminary report
1077
00:52:35,013 --> 00:52:37,119
of matches between
the machinery here
1078
00:52:37,223 --> 00:52:38,362
and the markings
on the firearms
1079
00:52:38,465 --> 00:52:40,640
used in the Jimmy Lakewell
ambush.
1080
00:52:40,743 --> 00:52:43,367
Forensics have harvested
prints and DNA,
1081
00:52:43,470 --> 00:52:45,783
just waiting on the lab
for any matches.
1082
00:52:45,886 --> 00:52:47,716
FC thinks
they've covered the ground.
1083
00:52:47,819 --> 00:52:48,820
I'm gonna call off
1084
00:52:48,924 --> 00:52:50,512
the forensic deployment
tonight.
1085
00:52:50,615 --> 00:52:52,307
Now, you look
at the weight of those.
1086
00:52:52,962 --> 00:52:54,240
No way were two OCG men
1087
00:52:54,343 --> 00:52:55,689
on their own
gonna move 'em.
1088
00:52:56,276 --> 00:52:58,209
What was in their van?
1089
00:52:58,313 --> 00:53:00,556
Tarpaulins and rope.
1090
00:53:02,282 --> 00:53:04,284
Couple of pickaxes,
bolt cutters,
1091
00:53:04,388 --> 00:53:05,906
a couple of wrenches,
1092
00:53:06,010 --> 00:53:08,185
socket set, Stanley knives.
1093
00:53:08,288 --> 00:53:12,327
Power tools, including
power saws and power drills.
1094
00:53:13,155 --> 00:53:14,674
Right.
Let's call out the GPR.
1095
00:53:14,777 --> 00:53:15,778
Find out
what's under that floor.
1096
00:53:16,641 --> 00:53:18,264
-Really?
-Yeah, really,
1097
00:53:23,614 --> 00:53:27,031
CHRIS: Sorry, mate. My DI's
requested GPR for wirework.
1098
00:53:28,377 --> 00:53:30,034
[line ringing]
1099
00:53:30,552 --> 00:53:31,725
[cell phone ringing]
1100
00:53:34,901 --> 00:53:36,420
[speaks indistinctly]
1101
00:53:36,523 --> 00:53:38,111
[cell phone continues ringing]
1102
00:53:39,043 --> 00:53:40,113
Chloe.
1103
00:53:40,217 --> 00:53:41,770
Sir, we think
we've found Thurwell.
1104
00:53:43,081 --> 00:53:44,842
We'll be right there.
1105
00:53:44,945 --> 00:53:46,568
They've located
Marcus Thurwell.
1106
00:53:47,741 --> 00:53:49,156
FLEMING: Let's go.
1107

[speaking Spanish]
1111
00:54:08,175 --> 00:54:09,867
HASTINGS: Ah, Kate. Steve.
1112
00:54:09,970 --> 00:54:11,144
Spanish authorities
are helping us
1113
00:54:11,248 --> 00:54:12,973
in our efforts
to apprehend Thurwell.
1114
00:54:13,077 --> 00:54:15,044
The Guardia Civil
have received intel
1115
00:54:15,148 --> 00:54:16,701
on this particular address.
1116
00:54:16,805 --> 00:54:20,326

1117

[continues in Spanish]
1125
00:55:15,104 --> 00:55:17,210
Name of God
and his holy mother...
1126
00:55:17,314 --> 00:55:19,246
[flies buzzing on video]
1127
00:55:20,696 --> 00:55:23,112
[speaking Spanish]
1128
00:55:23,216 --> 00:55:25,322
Two dead, sir.
Male plus female.
1129
00:55:26,495 --> 00:55:29,360
[speaking Spanish]
1130
00:55:33,295 --> 00:55:34,710
Thank you, Captain.
1131
00:55:34,814 --> 00:55:36,160
We'll leave
the rest to you.
1132
00:55:36,263 --> 00:55:37,506
[speaking Spanish]
1133
00:55:41,579 --> 00:55:43,063
[speaking Spanish]
1134
00:55:47,413 --> 00:55:50,692
It's just... It's another
kick in the teeth.
1135
00:55:50,795 --> 00:55:52,590
Only so much
a man can take!
1136
00:56:05,879 --> 00:56:07,398
[sighs]
1137
00:56:39,603 --> 00:56:40,673
Wait there, please.
1138
00:56:58,035 --> 00:57:00,175
Sorry. Wrong way.
1139
00:57:01,314 --> 00:57:03,523
God, this place is a maze.
1140
00:57:14,016 --> 00:57:15,362
OSBORNE: [on TV]
For too long now,
1141
00:57:15,466 --> 00:57:17,226
police officers
have had to serve
1142
00:57:17,330 --> 00:57:20,575
faceless,
unaccountable bureaucrats.
1143
00:57:21,714 --> 00:57:25,062
We've even had to suffer
political opportunists
1144
00:57:25,165 --> 00:57:28,410
trying to win votes
by vilifying police officers
1145
00:57:28,514 --> 00:57:31,033
with false allegations
of corruption.
1146
00:57:31,965 --> 00:57:34,899
We defend this constabulary
1147
00:57:35,003 --> 00:57:36,867
from those
who would obstruct us
1148
00:57:36,970 --> 00:57:38,662
in serving the public.
1149
00:57:40,802 --> 00:57:44,840
Not only does this force
face enemies without,
1150
00:57:44,944 --> 00:57:47,084
there are enemies within.
1151
00:57:49,086 --> 00:57:52,641
I will personally see to it
those enemies within
1152
00:57:52,745 --> 00:57:55,472
are made to suffer
the consequences.
1153
00:57:58,854 --> 00:58:01,029
