Episode 5

Liz: You trying to intimidate
me? Is that what this is?
Just following a
directive from me DCI.
John: I'm a friend, we
were in the army together.
John Gibson.
If Paul did have secrets, do
you intend to honour them?
Depends what they are.
I have made some mistakes.
You're on the sex offenders
register for life.
You do not mess with my family.
Jasmine: Has she been
sleeping in my bed?
Jasmine, please.
Crowther is covering his tracks,
and you're all letting him.
You said you tried
to interview him
but he was too weak to talk.
The police officer, I
had to ask her to leave.
- She was getting him riled up.
- Liz: The one with the phone?
No, the one with the scarf.
A hacker got into
Kohli's computer.
He's being released
and reinstated.
The post-mortem results show
that Brandice died
from his injuries.
Kelman lied about Brandice.
If she's involved, I don't
know how high this goes.
Sue: She's gone. Amy,
I can't find her.

As you see, we have CCTV footage
of Amy leaving the
caravan park alone.
After that, it's highly probable
that she got into a car.
Or hitch-hiked or
someone's taken her.
So obviously, house to house,
friends, family, associates.
We've spoken to
Amy's grandmother.
She says she hasn't
heard anything.
Same with her aunt and uncle,
but we weren't getting a
lot of cooperation there.
We've got a list of
Amy's classmates.
We're working our way down.
Acting DCI Nyles knows
the McLennan girl
better than any of us.
Maybe she can help focus things.
Amy was struggling
socially at her new school,
so I wouldn't waste
too much time there.
I'd focus on her
old school friends.
Jardine: Which is
exactly what we're doing.
You seeing the girls first?
Jardine: So?
So Amy hung out
with the boys more.
I would start with those two.
Maybe it's worth Nyles also
revisiting the aunt and uncle,
a familiar face.
She might get a more
sympathetic response.
Wheatley: Well, DCI Nyles seems
to be across every other aspect
of this case, so why not?
Okay, back to the CCTV footage.
Gemma Brandice says she's
never heard of a John Gibson.
And the files I sent through?
Gibson weren't on them either.
Sure he works for Crowther?
Yeah, his car was registered
to a Crowther company.
If he's a trusted insider,
he'd be in the files.
Well, maybe he's a new
addition to the team.
Maybe he's been abroad or
Or he made a mistake.
Look, I still don't understand
how you got on to this
guy in the first place.
There's no mistake. I
just need to find him.
Bewley: Why?
You think he'll lead you to Amy.
Liz: I don't know. Maybe.
Maybe a lot more, as well.
Damn right, I'm angry.
You were supposed to
be protecting her.
Amy was your responsibility.
I understand that
more than anyone,
and we are doing everything
we can to try and find her.
But we need your help.
My mum's got cancer.
Now my sister's dead,
and my niece is missing
all because of you people.
Mr. Sumner, I'm really
sorry about what's happened.
We're not jailers,
and we couldn't
keep Amy under lock and key.
- Oscar: That's bullshit.
- Oscar.
She's 12, and she's out there
on her own because of you.
[ Phone buzzes ]
I'm so sorry.
I need to take this.
Arrested for what?
Oh, Jesus.
Is the girl all right?
Look, I'm in the middle of
something here, so I can't
Right, fine, I'll be
there as soon as I can.
Was that about Amy?
Did they find her?
[ Sighs ] I'm sorry,
I've got to go.
If Amy calls or texts or
makes any contact at all
Oscar: How's she
supposed to do that then?
You lot took her phone away
from her. She's got no money.
You took bloody
everything from her.
Please. You have to find her.
I will. I'll do my best.
Liz: Where were you
headed last night?
Nowhere.
So you were riding the
66 bus just for fun?
Well, I can't work, can I?
So don't have much else to do.
Liz: Several witnesses saw you
harassing young women in town.
Making conversation, more like.
Well, the onboard
CCTV saw you sit down
next to a 15-year-old girl.
Was she now?
Well, how was I
supposed to know that?
She was wearing
a school uniform.
It's not a crime to sit.
It is a crime, however, to
expose yourself to a minor.
This isn't your first offence.
It is, though.
It's my first as Samuel Price.
Well, maybe this
wasn't made clear,
but being a protected
person isn't a licence
for you to do as you please.
It still carries consequences.
Even if it means me kicking
you off the programme
and telling everyone exactly
who and what you are.
I'd call your boss before
I did anything stupid.
Otherwise, he might
lose his star witness,
and I don't think
he'd like that.
Fine.
I'm placing you in
protective custody
right here in the police cells.
You can't do that. That's
not part of our deal.
Oh, I can do it all right.
You're already under arrest,
and my only obligation
is to keep you safe
until such time
you give evidence.
[ Phone buzzes ]
♪♪
DS Kohli, can you
make the arrangements?
Raj: My pleasure.
You lock me up, maybe I won't
give any bloody evidence.
Well, you'll have plenty
of time to think about that
in your nice quiet cell.

[ Alarm beeping ]
Hello?
Amy, is that you?
Sid: Bloody hell!
Liz: Dad, are you all right?
I can't hear myself think!
Okay, let me have a go.
Here we go.
- [ Beeping stops ]
- Huh.
There we go. What happened?
Well, the pan burnt, obviously.
Where's Jasmine?
What?
She well, she was here.
I think she was.
Yeah, it's okay, there's
no real harm done.
Hiya, I got a Hey,
what's that smell?
Well, what do you think?
Oh, crap. I thought I would
make us some food and
And you left Granddad alone
in charge of a hot frying pan.
Sid: Don't blame
Jasmine for my mess.
I just needed to
grab some things.
I was only gone like 15 minutes.
Long enough, obviously.
Do you know what?
I was gonna say, leave
it, I'll clean up,
but I'll probably do
that wrong, as well.
- Jasmine
- Just leave me alone.
Wow, you stuffed
that up royally.
Thanks, Dad. It's made
me feel so much better.
[ Knocks ]
Liz: Jas, can I come in?
I'm doing homework.
I'm sorry.
I should be grateful
that you made an effort.
Actually, I cook all
the time at Dad's place.
What, 'cause he
doesn't feed you?
Because he lets me.
Right.
Look, I know it's been tough
with my work and the break in.
- I'm quitting cello.
- What?
- No, you're not.
- I hate it, all right?
Well, you you played for
Granddad just the other day.
So? He likes it, you
like it, I don't.
- First I've heard.
- Jasmine: Because you don't ask.
You never asked me
whether I wanted to play
or change schools
or go between your place
and Dad's every week.
Oh, Jasmine.
That girl, I get
she was in danger,
but you didn't even tell
me she was gonna stay here
in my room.
You just did it.
I had to make a quick decision.
She's used my makeup,
moved my iPad.
I mean, that is
really violating, Mum.
Wait, your iPad?
Jasmine: Just my old one.
It was in that
drawer, now it's gone.
Jas, can you track it?
Um, maybe.
[ Phone keyboard clicks ]
Weird.
It's at some caravan park.
I never saw her using an iPad.
I would've said
something, obviously.
So you didn't search her
room when she went missing?
No, that's the one place I knew
she wouldn't be, wasn't it?
Alright, well, it should
start beeping now.
[ iPad beeps ]
Anything?
Hang on.
Got it.
Anything useful?
Sue: I don't think
you're gonna like it.
Liz: Amy's been
messaging Crowther's son,
and the boy's been telling
her she can't trust the police
and that his dad wants to help.
You think Crowther's
pulling the strings?
Liz: It's possible.
And if he was, he's
probably already got her.
Bewley: You got
to tell Wheatley.
She's been pushing for
a raid on Crowther.
I don't trust Wheatley.
And I have reasons to think
that Kelman's been leaking
information, so if
we do this openly,
it's gonna get back to Kelman,
and then Crowther
will get tipped off.
We know there was a second
hit man at the safe house.
My guess is Crowther's got
him tying up loose ends.
If I authorise a raid like
this behind my DCI's back
and it goes wrong
Everyone who was there is dead.
Amy's the only one left.
That's why we can't wait.
We've got to do this now.

This is a set up!
You set me up!
We need to confirm with
ballistics, but this is the same
calibre weapon that was
used to kill Jock Ferguson.
Either way, it's
enough to lock him up.
There's no way Crowther
killed Jock himself.
So why did he keep the gun here?
Don't know. Even clever
criminals make silly mistakes.
- Not that silly.
- It's a win, Liz.
And now with the gun, we can
search all of his properties.
If he's got Amy, we'll find her.
Promise you.
[ Siren wails ]
- Arlo.
- He already gave a statement.
I'm with protected persons.
I've been looking after Amy,
trying to keep her safe.
And my son already
explained he knows nothing
about where she is.
She's a 12-year-old girl, and
we are really worried about her.
So if your husband's got
nothing to do with this,
the sooner we find her, the
sooner we can leave you alone.
All I want to do is find her.
Rezan: Whatever more
you have to say,
you say it to our lawyer.
Come on.
Hey, Arlo.
Do you know what's
happened to Amy?
I don't know.
Well, you were messaging her.
Did you meet up?
I know you think you're
helping her, staying quiet,
but it's the exact opposite.
And I need to find
out what's happened.
My dad wouldn't hurt her.
Liz: I never said that.
Amy said you told her he would.
So you did see her.
If I find Amy safe and well,
that'll help your dad
get out of trouble, too.
We met up last night,
hung out for a bit,
and I thought she'd come home
with me, but she wouldn't.
Your people made
her scared of us.
And you left her alone
in some shitty caravan.
Arlo, you need to tell me
the last place you saw Amy.
They were at the corner
shop on Smith Street,
and then they walked to
the nearest bus stop.
That was hours ago.
Well, still, it's a start.
There.

Raj: Where's she going?
Can you track her?
She spent the night
on the street.
And it was cold last night.
She would've needed
to find shelter.
Some of the shops on the
High Street have awnings.
Wouldn't be a bad place to kip.
One of the shopkeepers might
have seen her this morning
when they opened up.
I'll get my keys.
Detective Chief
Inspector Liz Nyles.
With all due respect,
we've got a lead on
Amy McLennan's location,
so we need to keep going.
You're not going anywhere.
We need to speak
to you right now.
About what?
Wheatley: About the nature
of your relationship
with DS Paul Brandice.
♪♪
♪♪
This is ridiculous.
Amy McLennan is out
there, in danger.
May I remind you that you
are now under caution?
DS Kohli's passed on
the last known location
of the McLennan girl, and I
have officers searching for her.
So it's no longer
your concern, Liz.
I am Detective Inspector
Thomas Jardine.
With me is Detective Chief
Inspector Hannah Wheatley.
It is 4:37 PM on the
15th of September, 2023.
Would you care to
introduce yourself?
DCI Liz Nyles.
DCI Nyles, in our last interview
in regards to Paul
Brandice, you said,
"We worked together, of
course, not directly.
I thought he was a
first class officer."
When asked whether your
relationship extended
beyond that, you said, "We went
to the pub a couple of times
with colleagues."
Is there anything you'd like
to now add to this assessment?
I want to know what
you're alleging.
Wheatley: I'm just asking
about your relationship
with Paul Brandice.
Jardine: Let the record show
that DCI Nyles gave no answer
to the question.
Wheatley: Have you
seen this phone before?
Where did you get that?
I'm asking if you've seen it.
Yes.
When?
Belonged to Paul.
I found it in his car.
Let let me get this clear.
You accessed Paul
Brandice's vehicle
and you recovered this phone?
Liz: That's correct.
And then you lied about it.
You withheld it from the
lawful police investigators
even though it was material
to a multiple murder
investigation.
That's correct.
Right, help me make
sense of that, DCI Nyles.
I needed to remain active
as a police officer
involved in the
McLennan murder case.
Remain active?
I wanted to retain
control of Amy McLennan,
keep her safe.
And I wanted to remain free
to be able to investigate
the circumstances
of Paul Brandice's shooting.
If I'd have handed that in,
I'd have been sidelined.
Because it contained
text messages,
which you deleted but
my tech team recovered.
Messages sent to and
from your phone proving
that yourself and Paul
Brandice were involved
in a highly improper
sexual relationship.
If I'd have revealed
the relationship,
I'd have been sidelined.
Wheatley: So instead,
you withheld evidence,
even though it may have assisted
the investigating officers
in solving the McLennan murders?
I didn't trust the
investigating officers.
Wheatley: DI Bewley and
his team found that phone
in a house belonging
to Edward Crowther.
So how do you think
that Crowther got it?
This was taken from my house
straight after I
turned it back on.
That means they
were tracking it.
The same people that
set up Raj Kohli
and doctored the hospital CCTV.
Right.
So, do you want to
help us out here?
Who's capable of pulling
off these technical marvels?
Amanda Kelman.
[ Sighs ]
Liz: As DS Jardine well knows.
[ Jardine chuckles ]
Liz: There's a
there's a number on this.
A John Gibson.
You need to find him
because he is the contact
between Crowther and Brandice
and maybe Crowther and Kelman.
Jardine: That number
you refer to belongs
to a burner phone, purchased
for cash, now out of service.
It's effectively untraceable.
That's pretty standard practise
for organised criminals.
And corrupt police officers.
I'm not corrupt.
I'm telling you it's Kelman.
She's the leak.
When we last spoke, you
said that you were unaware
that Brandice went to
your father's place,
that he must have followed
you there, surveilled you.
That was another lie, wasn't it?
When we recovered this phone,
we went back through your
statement and your movements,
and we found this.
Taken from a CCTV camera
near your father's house.
[ Clicks ]
♪♪
I put it to you that yourself
and Paul Brandice were
working together
for Edward Crowther.
- No.
- Wheatley: Now maybe he
led you into it.
He might have
seduced you into it.
- No.
- Wheatley: But either way,
you conspired together in
the murder of the McLennans
at the behest of
Edward Crowther.
No.
My relationship with Paul
Brandice was a mistake.
I've made a lot of
those the last few days.
But I think maybe
he slept with me
to find the McLennan safe house.
But I never worked for Crowther,
and the McLennans
were my witnesses.
I would've done anything
to protect them.
Except keep your knickers on.
I am pausing this
interview at 4:42 PM.
Go get me a coffee.
Want one, Liz?
Workplace romances happen.
It's it's not
a hanging offence.
But the rest of this, Liz,
it's it looks bad for you.
It's it's really bad.
So maybe you better start
telling me the truth.
I have.
Everything I've said
in here is true.
You know, I've been aware of you
since I started in the force.
You was daughter of star copper,
high achiever, girl most likely.
And, you know, when
all this started,
I was actually really excited
about working with you.
But ever since then,
you've obstructed me
and you've lied and
And now you expect
me to believe you.
So tell me, would you believe me
if the positions
were reversed here?
No, I don't think so.
[ Phone rings ]
[ Footsteps ]
Given the suggestion of improper
and possibly corrupt
behaviour on your behalf,
this matter has
been referred to me.
Has it?
As it stands, for withholding
evidence, you'll be charged with
perverting the
course of justice.
Wheatley doesn't yet
have the evidence
to make the conspiracy
to murder charge stick.
But believe me,
she's working on it.
I told Wheatley you're the leak.
It's on record.
You'll be bailed and suspended
from duty, obviously.
My advice is to go home,
retain a good lawyer,
and for God's sake, stop
your obsessive digging.
Why are you doing this?
Isn't it about time you
stopped asking that question
and accepted things
the way they are?
If you did, we'd all be
a great deal happier.
- Raj.
- What the fuck, Liz?
This isn't the way it seems.
Like the phone?
I sweated it out in that
cell, keeping your secret.
I'm sorry. I should
have told you the truth.
What I'm hearing is you're bent.
At least say that isn't true.
Liz: You know it isn't.
Please say you know that.
Raj: I looked up to you.
And now, it's like I don't
even know who you are.

And then it occurred to me,
you might have some
kind of arrangement,
worked together on something.
I don't know what it was,
but maybe Jimmy McLennan did.
So when Jimmy turned on you,
Frankton decided to shut him up,
and now Frankton's
stitched you up for it.
And how did you figure all that?
Liz: The gun that
killed Jock Ferguson.
There's no way you just
left that lying around,
so it must have been
planted by Frankton.
He's played me, too.
Met me, in a car,
hired from one of
your companies.
So I'd think he worked for you.
Then he planted Paul
Brandice's phone
in one of your other properties
so the police would find it
and make the obvious
connection between us.
So now we're both in the frame.
Oh, you are in way
over your head.
What I need to know now is
why a man like Frankton
would get into bed with you
in the first place.
What did you offer him?
Tell me that, and
I can go public.
Crowther: Who do you
think you're dealing with?
You won't get one word out
before they shut you down.
If I've got proof, I can
expose them, expose the truth.
And you think that's
gonna save you, do you?
[ Scoffs ]
McLennan had his insurance,
and look what happened to him.
What insurance?
What did he have?
I think we're done here.
If Jimmy had hard evidence
of what you and Frankton
were doing,
is that what Frankton was after
when he hit the safe house?
You want to spend the rest
of your life in prison?

that she got into a car.

the McLennan girl

to be across every other aspect
of this case, so why not?

never heard of a John Gibson.

introduce yourself?
DCI Liz Nyles.
DCI Nyles, in our last interview
in regards to Paul
Brandice, you said,
"We worked together, of
course, not directly.
I thought he was a
first class officer."
When asked whether your
relationship extended
beyond that, you said, "We went
to the pub a couple of times
with colleagues."
Is there anything you'd like
to now add to this assessment?
I want to know what
you're alleging.
Wheatley: I'm just asking
about your relationship
with Paul Brandice.
Jardine: Let the record show
that DCI Nyles gave no answer
to the question.
Wheatley: Have you
seen this phone before?
Where did you get that?
I'm asking if you've seen it.
Yes.
When?
Belonged to Paul.
I found it in his car.
Let let me get this clear.
You accessed Paul
Brandice's vehicle
and you recovered this phone?
Liz: That's correct.
And then you lied about it.
You withheld it from the
lawful police investigators
even though it was material
to a multiple murder
investigation.
That's correct.
Right, help me make
sense of that, DCI Nyles.
I needed to remain active
as a police officer
involved in the
McLennan murder case.
Remain active?
I wanted to retain
control of Amy McLennan,
keep her safe.
And I wanted to remain free
to be able to investigate
the circumstances
of Paul Brandice's shooting.
If I'd have handed that in,
I'd have been sidelined.
Because it contained
text messages,
which you deleted but
my tech team recovered.
Messages sent to and
from your phone proving
that yourself and Paul
Brandice were involved
in a highly improper
sexual relationship.
If I'd have revealed
the relationship,
I'd have been sidelined.
Wheatley: So instead,
you withheld evidence,
even though it may have assisted
the investigating officers
in solving the McLennan murders?
I didn't trust the
investigating officers.
Wheatley: DI Bewley and
his team found that phone
in a house belonging
to Edward Crowther.
So how do you think
that Crowther got it?
This was taken from my house
straight after I
turned it back on.
That means they
were tracking it.
The same people that
set up Raj Kohli
and doctored the hospital CCTV.

So, do you want to
help us out here?
Who's capable of pulling
off these technical marvels?

Liz: As DS Jardine well knows.

You need to find him

you refer to belongs

for cash, now out of service.
It's effectively untraceable.
That's pretty standard practise
for organised criminals.
And corrupt police officers.
I'm not corrupt.
I'm telling you it's Kelman.
She's the leak.
When we last spoke, you
said that you were unaware
that Brandice went to

that he must have followed
you there, surveilled you.

We can't just pull Miles
out of school, no warning.
If this is gonna work,
it has to be quick.
She's alone, and she's scared.
And police officers are
no substitute for family.
Miles is only little. We

I don't care what she says.
This could be years,
Keeley. We can't.
Please can I give Rolly

Just getting them ready for
when we can have the funeral.
So to what do I
owe the pleasure?
I felt I needed to tell you
myself, face to face, but
there's no easy way to say this.
Just spit it out.
Paul and I were having an
affair for about three months.
It was wrong.
Obviously.
I'd never done anything
like that before.
And I am so sorry.
If you were sorry, you
wouldn't have done it.
DCI Wheatley called
me this afternoon.
She was asking me questions
about Paul's whereabouts
in the evenings,
if he'd told me
anything about you.
I'm not an idiot. I knew
what she was implying.
Liz: I was selfish.
I wish there was a
better reason than that,
but that's all it was.
I knew he was up to something.
I should have known with you
hanging around, but still, I
He never wanted to
hurt you, I know that.
Oh, because my feelings
were top of his priorities?

It looks like he was using

Do you expect me to

Liz: That man next
to Paul, John Gibson.
You said you'd
never heard of him.
Don't know who John Gibson
is, but that's Nigel.
Nigel Frankton.
Gemma, this is this
is really important.
Did Paul mention him recently?
Has he been to the house?
- Not for years, why?
- Anything at all?
A phone call, a passing comment?
The last time I saw Nigel was
when all three of us
got out of the army
and we took an aptitude test.
Me and Paul didn't get very far,
but I think Nigel got picked up.
Liz: An aptitude test?
Yeah, it's a cover
basically. Pretty shit one.
But that's the intelligence
services for you.
He works in intelligence?
Gemma: Well, you
can't say obviously,
but he took the test.
My assumption is he's
security services now.
I'm with the Protected
Persons Unit.
You've got one of my witnesses
in protective custody,
a Patrick Ellis.
And you are?
Acting DCI Liz Nyles.
Hi. I'm here for a
prisoner interview.
The custody sergeant
told me you could help.
Absolutely. What's the
name of the prisoner?
Edward Crowther.
He's being taken to
prison on remand in a bit.
Yeah, I won't be long.
You shouldn't be here.
My lawyer's gone home,
and I'm not saying
a word without him.
You don't have to
talk, just listen.
Do you know this
man, John Gibson?
Or maybe you know him
as Nigel Frankton?
He's an intelligence officer.
At first, I thought you'd
managed to corrupt him, too.
And then it occurred to me,
you might have some
kind of arrangement,
worked together on something.
I don't know what it was,
but maybe Jimmy McLennan did.
So when Jimmy turned on you,
Frankton decided to shut him up,
and now Frankton's
stitched you up for it.
And how did you figure all that?
Liz: The gun that
killed Jock Ferguson.
There's no way you just
left that lying around,
so it must have been
planted by Frankton.
He's played me, too.
Met me, in a car,
hired from one of
your companies.
So I'd think he worked for you.
Then he planted Paul
Brandice's phone
in one of your other properties
so the police would find it
and make the obvious
connection between us.
So now we're both in the frame.
Oh, you are in way
over your head.
What I need to know now is
why a man like Frankton
would get into bed with you
in the first place.
What did you offer him?
Tell me that, and
I can go public.
Crowther: Who do you
think you're dealing with?
You won't get one word out
before they shut you down.
If I've got proof, I can
expose them, expose the truth.
And you think that's
gonna save you, do you?
[ Scoffs ]
McLennan had his insurance,
and look what happened to him.
What insurance?
What did he have?
I think we're done here.
If Jimmy had hard evidence
of what you and Frankton
were doing,
is that what Frankton was after
when he hit the safe house?
You want to spend the rest
of your life in prison?
Never seeing Arlo grow up?
These people will do
anything to cover this up.
That just proves
that they're scared.
Crowther: Not as scared
as you ought to be.
Like I said, we're done.

Before you go, I have

That man who came to your
house to see your dad,
the one with the Irish accent,
you said they were
talking about insurance?
Yeah.
Can you remember what they said?
I already told you I couldn't
really hear anything.
I heard Mum, though.
Your mum was there, too?
Amy: No, when he left.
Mum and Dad, they
were arguing about it.
About the insurance?
Dad had given it away

That made Mum really angry.
