Suspects (2014) s02e03 Episode Script
Easy Prey, Part One
'Police are appealing for witnesses 'after a man was found unconscious with life threatening head injuries 'by the West Willow Canal in East London today.
' 'Police are treating the attack as attempted murder.
' Charlie? Bear with me two seconds.
ID.
Oh.
Well done.
Victim's name is Scott Freeman.
Works at Bellings Casino.
It's inevitable.
Do you remember that video that was going round last week in the office? The paedophile hunter.
I didn't see it.
Well, this Scott Freeman, he claimed to have tracked down a paedophile.
His MO is he poses as a 14 year-old girl online, lures in paedophiles, comes to meet them and fucking bashes them.
That's a high-risk strategy.
The guy's got it coming to him.
That's hardly fair.
You didn't see him.
He's in a bad way.
If you take the law into your own hands, you take the risks.
OK.
I'll finish up this statement.
I'll be five minutes.
I'll talk to Sam.
'I'm the 14 year-old girl.
'I've set you up.
What are you talking about? Cindy.
'What are you talking about? You make me absolutely sick.
'What have you got here? I don't go online.
' I kept telling him, if he's gonna keep going we'll do him for assault.
Yeah.
We know that he arranged another one of these little meetings this morning.
Tech have been into his internet chat room, exchanges, where he's going, "I'm Cindy, come meet me," before he does this.
He had been exchanging messages with another user and arranged to meet him on the towpath this morning.
Tech managed to pull the IP address of the other user.
But it goes back to a coffee shop, like a public internet chat room.
Do we have a physical address? Yeah.
It's worth going there and getting some CCTV from the shop.
If they have it.
100%, yeah, do that.
Listen, obviously, somebody else is filming this, so the guy's not working alone.
Can we pull up his phone records from TIU? Sure.
Will do.
Yeah, thanks, bye.
How is he? His injuries caused some bleeding to the brain unfortunately.
They stabilised him as much as they can.
Sadly, he is in critical condition.
So we've got a wife, Iris Freeman, a daughter, Kelly Freeman, and a younger daughter Rose.
Yeah, Rose Freeman.
I've not come across her before.
She's a vicious bitch.
She's been in a number of times on drug charges.
Vicious.
On theft and also assault.
Can you break the news to the family, please? I think probably take a uniform with you if this one's gonna kick off.
Hi.
My name is Detective Sergeant Jack Weston.
Iris Freeman, please? She died two weeks ago.
Is it about Rose? No, it's not about Rose.
I'm very sorry to hear that.
Maybe it's better if we come inside.
Ahem Erm listen Kelly, I'm really sorry to be the one to tell you this, but your father, Scott, has been involved in a very serious assault.
He's in hospital.
He suffered quite a large blow to the head.
OK.
OK.
How is your relationship with your father? Disappeared for nine years.
Came back when Mum died.
Played superhero to Rose and I carried on sweeping up pieces, so OK.
Hi.
How's he doing? Not good.
His brain swelled.
We know your father was attacked between 9am and 10am, but at 9:43 someone used your father's cash card to take out money.
So we're wondering if it could be Rose.
I mean, yeah, it could be.
It's possible.
A couple of hours before you came they were arguing, you know.
And then he stormed out and then she went after.
I don't know - So, hang on, they had an argument.
Yeah.
He left the house and she followed him.
I mean, she went.
I don't know if she followed him.
You think Rose may have attacked your father? She would never attack him.
She loves him.
How do you know? She's a drug addict.
What's she taking these days? She's taking meth.
And I don't know I don't know any more.
I don't know I don't know what she does.
I don't know why he's here and I don't know if she could have done it.
I don't know.
Boss, Jack, I've just received a list of calls from Scott Freeman's phone.
Nothing unusual other than a couple off calls to a local dance school, Shaffer Dance Academy.
Daisy goes there.
Really? Your Daisy? My Daisy, yeah.
Do you want to head down there now? It's OK.
You take care of it.
Sure? Let me know what happens.
That's good.
Here we go.
Did you know I did three years of Irish dancing? I'm not remotely surprised.
That's so rubbish.
Unbelievable.
There's an office.
Hello? Hello.
Oh, hi.
Hi.
Sorry to interrupt.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Tamsin.
Tamsin.
Hi.
Last name? Shaffer.
You run the place.
That's right, yes.
Edward? Yeah.
Hi.
Mr Shaffer? I'm Detective Sergeant Jack Weston.
Hello.
We're investigating an assault on a man called Scott Freeman.
Scott, oh Do you know Scott? Yeah, is he all right? What's? He's in a critical condition.
He's suffered a serious blow to the head.
But we do know that he phoned the dance studio this morning.
We just wanted to know what that was about.
Well, he rang me and he did ask me to go and film this fella he thought was a paedophile.
I didn't go.
I should have gone with him.
I could have looked after him.
Why didn't you go? I wouldn't let him.
I don't think he should be associating with people like paedophiles.
So you have gone to these kind of confrontations before.
I did go once before with him.
He asked me and I filmed him, yeah.
I have to ask you, Mr Shaffer, why you got involved in the first place? He said it was the right thing to do.
He said we should be standing up for these kids because nobody else does and he's very persuasive.
With all due respect, the right thing to do would be to come to the police.
It's our job to deal with criminals, not yours.
You could have got yourselves hurt like Scott did this morning.
That's a lesson learned, I hope.
Yes.
Jack, how did you get on at Daisy's dance school? Scott was phoning the dance school because Edward was the cameraman for the confrontation.
He's not a target.
Well, thank fuck for that.
He's a reluctant cameraman.
The lesser of two evils.
Yes? I have the CCTV from the cashpoint where Scott's debit card was used if anybody would like to watch.
Press Play.
There she is.
Rose Freeman, hello.
Jittery little thing.
She's gagging for a fix.
She's emptying her dad's account so she's going to score.
Where is this? The cashpoint is on Windsor Street, so we know exactly where she is.
I fucking hate that place.
Up on your feet.
Rose, up on your feet.
Don't touch me! Get off me! Up! Up! Get your hands off me! Rose.
You're coming in! No! Ahh! No! Rose! Rose! Get off! On your knees.
On your knees.
On your knees.
On your knees.
Rose, I am not going to break your arm! Pipe down! Rose Freeman, I am arresting you on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something you later rely on in court.
Anything you say may be given in evidence.
Understand? Rose, do you understand? Do you understand what I'm saying or do you not? I've been going through Rose's mobile phone.
11:25pm last night, Scott, her dad texted her simply saying, "I think I've found the bastard.
" So maybe Scott realised he had found Rose's rapist.
What? Who's raped who? Bringing her back in the car she was screaming and ranting and raving about "I've been raped.
"If anyone's attacked my dad, it's not me, it's the guy who raped me.
" We just wait for her to calm down and then talk to her about it.
Because at the moment she's making so little sense.
We can't talk to Rose, can we, so we'll have to talk to Kelly, OK? Kelly, erm .
.
Rose mentioned erm Rose mentioned that when we arrested her that she had been raped.
I don't know if that's news to you.
I don't know if that's No.
No, it's not news.
It was something she said happened years ago.
We were away for the weekend.
What happened? How many years ago? Eight or nine years ago.
I don't know.
OK.
And where did you go? Apparently, the rape is supposed to have happened at a dance competition nine years ago in Brighton, when Rose was just a child .
.
when both of the girls were under the care of Tamsin and Edward Shaffer.
Rose we've had a little look at your phone.
There's a conversation you've been having on the text with your dad.
There's actually an unanswered reply from your dad.
It says: "I think I've found the bastard.
" Remind yourself of how that went.
Who do you think he's referring to there? My dad was trying to find the man that raped me.
And I told him there's no point, there's no point trying to find him cos I don't have any proof, and no-one will believe me.
Sounds like he thinks he found the person responsible.
Hm? Do you know who the person might be that he's found, that he thinks is responsible? I don't remember.
I I remember waking up in this strange room.
There was a man on on top of me.
And another man .
.
he put something in my arm.
And I was unconscious.
I don't And I don't remember.
What do you mean, put something in your arm? What do you mean by that? He injected me with something.
And I woke up the next morning and I felt pain.
I felt pain down there.
It was so sore.
Do you remember if the man said anything or did anything at all? Can you remember any detail about it? He said He said "Sweet dreams.
" "Sweet dreams.
" "Sweet dreams.
" Ah, Martha, hi.
Miss Shaffer, how are you? I'm good, thank you.
How are you? Yes, not too bad.
I'm here in a slightly different capacity.
I never realised you were a police officer.
Wow.
Thank God for that.
They're a motley bunch.
I'm glad you didn't spot it.
So, I'm aware that you've been talking to my officers.
And we've been talking to Rose, your old student.
Rose Freeman.
Yeah.
There was an allegation of rape when she was younger.
She said that she spoke to you about it.
Yeah.
.
She said she was raped at a dance competition about nine years ago in Brighton.
Yeah, the first I heard of this was Scott told me.
He said this had happened and this is why he wanted to go on this, you know, vigilante thing.
I told him we should go straight to the police when something like that happens.
That's the right thing to do.
How is he? He's not great, to be honest.
Oh, God.
Poor Scott.
That could have been me, couldn't it, lying in that hospital bed? Yeah.
Thank God, eh? Yeah.
I just want to see what you remember because she said she spoke to you about it.
Yes, she did.
I put the children to bed about 9pm.
Everything seemed fine.
The next day she was so tearful.
She came to me, saying that she'd had this experience where she'd been touched.
So I asked her a bit about it.
Erm she was very incoherent.
Some of it didn't make sense.
So I gave her a big cuddle.
I phoned her mum.
She told me that one explanation had been that Rose been doing something about stranger danger in school, and maybe that was a side effect.
If I thought for one moment it was possible, then I would, of course, have gone to the police, but given that Kelly, Rose's sister, was in the room all night, then it couldn't have happened because I questioned Kelly and she said that nothing untoward had gone on and that Rose had slept fine all night, so I don't think I made any mistakes.
I snuck out that night to meet a guy from another dance team.
I was 15.
I was tired of being a carer for my mum and a parent to my younger sister.
I just wanted to have fun, that was all.
I didn't mean anything.
The next day, er Tamsin asked me if Rose woke up in the night.
I said no.
But I lied.
I wasn't there.
I didn't know.
What was the name of the boy that you snuck out with? Alistair Green.
Does Rose know that you snuck out now? Have you told her? No.
I have to say, I must slightly question why you haven't mentioned any of this to my officers before now.
Obviously, you've been talking to them.
Because I didn't want to damage the reputation of the school, Martha.
I notice that Daisy isn't here today.
I hope she's feeling better.
My Daisy? She's fine.
A head cold or something.
Terrible patient.
I'm sure she'll be back soon.
No, thanks for your time.
Appreciate it.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
How did you go with Edward? He's not the sort of person that I'd warm to, naturally.
What do you mean? He's just a gob shite, isn't he? How's Daisy? I didn't know she was sick.
No, is she hell? Any sign of a kiddy fiddler, do you know what I mean? Not on my doorstep, thank you very much.
Who's broken the printer? Jack? Yeah.
I have just been down in TIU.
There's a series of text messages from last night between Scott posing as Cindy and the guy he arranged to meet on the towpath, right? What caught my eye was the person who was texting signed off his last message with the phrase, "Sweet dreams," Which is what Rose said her rapist said to her that night in Brighton.
The mobile phone number is registered to a guy called Dr Philip Cleaving.
He runs St Jonas Surgery on Capland Road.
Yeah? So that coffee shop with the IP address register to the person Scott was corresponding with in that internet chat room.
This is CCTV and here we see Dr Phil Cleaving in there at the time of the chat, I'm pretty sure accessing the web room on his mobile phone.
I don't think it's looking good for him at all.
He is messaging someone he believes to be a 14 year-old girl called Cindy, then arranges to meet her on a deserted towpath by a canal.
So, in my mind, that sequence of events leads to Dr Cleaving turning up, meeting not Cindy, but a very angry Scott Freeman who calls him out as a paedophile and a rapist, says, "I'm going to out you, and I think he then batters him.
" Dr Philip Cleaving? Yes? Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Don't hit me! What? Hang on.
I'm Detective Sergeant Jack Weston.
I'd like you to come down to the station with me.
Now? I've got some questions to ask you.
You are Dr Philip Cleaving? I am.
Do you mind accompanying me? Not at all, no, that's fine.
We can maybe talk through this.
Who's that? Well, it's me, obviously.
Do you want a closer look? No, thanks.
Were you texting? Taking photographs? Looks like it, yeah.
Who were you texting? Well, I text people, you know.
Who the fuck are you texting? OK.
Who's Cindy? What were you doing on the towpath? I was I'd been going online the last few months.
Just A big relationship broke up.
You know, you go online and you chat.
To children's forums.
No, no, no.
To children's forums.
Cindy's a child.
You're texting Cindy.
You went to meet Cindy on the towpath.
No.
I want to be absolutely clear about that.
Please be very clear.
Right if you let me get two words out, maybe I can clarify.
You go online, people role-play.
You wouldn't believe the number of Xena Warrior Princesses that are out there.
People who think they are Vlad The Impaler.
In this case .
.
I'll admit that I've been having trouble with certain fantasises.
So I'm in the forum.
It seems to me to be just role play.
You get into it and and it's probably a 35-year-old woman.
So I arranged to meet.
I'm not proud of it.
It's just one of those things that you're on the internet and You're kind of in a You're kind of sleepwalking a little bit.
I turned up, thinking, "What would I say to a 14-year-old?" It isn't a 14 year-old girl, it's probably It turns out to be this guy this big guy who starts, you know, attacking me.
OK, that guy is now in a very critical condition in hospital.
So what did you do to him? I did nothing to him.
What did you hit him? I didn't hit him with anything.
I ran.
You ran? He hit you and you ran? He hit me.
He hit you and you hit him back.
I didn't hit him back.
I'm not very good at all that.
I don't like physical violence.
You met a guy called Scott Freeman.
Scott Freeman finds fuckers like you on the internet.
He says, "Are you up for this kind of stuff?" You say yes.
"Let's meet.
" And then he bashes you one.
He bashes you one.
You turn around, you bash him one.
OK? No.
Is that what happened? You see, he hit you, OK, because he believed that you raped his daughter.
What? Hello? Me again.
Not for the last time, I'm sure.
Mr Shaffer, could you join us for two seconds? I'm having awful trouble, identifying this man.
Do you know who that is? Yeah, it's Phil.
Dr Phil Cleaving.
So you know this man? Yeah, I was at university with him, like, 20-odd years ago.
So you're good friends.
Well, then we were.
I've not seen him for years and years.
Nine years? I don't know, about 15 years, I think.
A reunion or something.
I can't remember.
Years ago.
But not nine years ago? No, why would? Right.
Is this connected to Rose? Yes.
Phil was never there, was he? No.
He's not connected to our studio or academy.
I don't think he'd have any reason to be there.
He has no interest.
Why would be be there? There are no right or wrong answers.
It's not an exam.
Sorry, you just caught us in the middle of something.
We just I'm in the middle of something too.
Listen, I'm going to need a list of people who attended that dance competition.
We haven't got a problem with that.
It'll be on an old computer.
What's he supposed to have done, anyway? He's helping us with our enquiries.
Thanks very much.
Rose, are you sure, as sure as you can be, that this is the man who attacked you? Who was in loco parentis that night? The Shaffers.
If Phil raped Rose, the Shaffers gave him access.
End of story, Charlie.
Scott Freeman has just passed away.
Bleeding to the brain.
Charlie, listen, go down, break the news to Rose, then whip her down to the hospital.
I'm going to liaise with central MI Team, all right? We've got a murder enquiry now.
Rose, Kelly, listen, I'm very sorry for your loss.
They've just been in the chapel of rest.
How are you guys doing? Yeah? Rose, you OK? Why? Why would they kill him? That's what we're trying to figure out.
He came back into our life.
I know.
Why would they kill him? I know.
We need to figure out, a.
) who's done this, and, b.
) why they've done this? Erm, Kelly what about the Shaffers? Do you trust them? Jack.
Jack? Do you think they had something to do with it? Er, listen You asked me about what I thought.
Listen, from our point of view, we're trying to figure out how whoever has done this to your sister got access to the room without the Shaffers knowing.
Can you excuse us a second? Jack, can I have a word? I won't be a tick.
I know what you're going to say.
That's not good enough.
Have you lost your fucking mind? Hang on a second, Detective Constable, one second.
Edward Shaffer is in this up to his eyeballs.
I'm scratching a few wounds to see if they bleed.
I'm going to drive the girls home.
OK.
I'm going to see if they have any photos from that dance competition, a programme, something like that.
Hopefully, something helpful.
Ladies, I'm so sorry about that, first of all.
And, second of all, why don't I drive you home? Oh This is it.
Is that it? My mum made this for me as a It was a good-luck gift for the competition.
There was two.
I remember, I woke up, the next morning and it all it was gone.
The other one was gone.
OK.
Rose? Can I take it? Look, why don't you pop it in here? I will take very good care of it.
Thank you.
I remember Tamsin said to me that it was all a bad dream.
She didn't believe me.
She didn't believe me.
I believe you.
Please believe me, Kelly, but she raped me.
They didn't help me.
They raped me.
I'm so sorry.
So, UV photos of Scott Freeman' head injury, indicate the murder weapon was a chain with a padlock attached.
Fuck.
Afternoon.
Oh! Charlie, here you go.
Keeping it warm.
Honestly, you're welcome to it.
So, Rose said that her mum made her a set of earrings as a good-luck charm for the dance competition.
Right? She said she went to bed, wearing two, and that when she woke up in the morning, after the attack had happened, she only had one left.
She's scoured that room, looking for them.
I'm wondering if the attacker took it as a trophy, a memento.
Apparently, there's some sort of disturbance at the dance academy.
Are there any kids still there? I don't think so.
I'll check.
Get back to me.
OK.
What kind of disturbance? How could you let him do that to her, you heartless bitch? How could you let him do that to her? How could you let him do that to her? Have you seen this? Look at this.
Don't fucking touch me.
The whole street's seen this.
"Paedo" sprayed on my fucking van? Mr Shaffer, I think - No, I think you should two should calm down.
You've been putting ideas in that stupid girl's mind.
I'm going inside and I'll file a complaint against you.
Please do.
Official complaint.
Hold your temper, Mr Shaffer.
Fucker.
Jeee-zus! We've seen what he's capable of.
Did you see him fucking grab me? I'll cheer you up with a little nugget of information.
All right? Do you remember, Kelly said that she wasn't in the room with her sister when she was raped? She was with her boyfriend.
I've tracked down the boyfriend, Alistair, and he has confirmed they went clubbing till sod o'clock in the morning, three, or something like that, OK? He's also said that he saw, when they returned to the car park, two men talking to each other.
He's identified one of those men as Edward Shaffer.
The other guy he didn't recognise.
He said the other guy was driving a bright red Porsche Boxster.
I checked with DVLA.
Guess who was driving a bright-red Porsche Boxster nine years ago.
Excellent.
Edward Shaffer said that Philip Cleaving wasn't there that night.
We now know he's lying.
Arrest him? Absolutely.
Where does he live? Porsche Boxster.
A nice, bright-red one.
Ever had one of those? Doesn't ring a bell.
That's funny because I've got I've got the DVLA records that show me that you did own a bright-red Porsche Boxster.
In fact, a car that would be very hard to forget Doctor.
Well, if you say so.
Mr Shaffer? Hi.
I'd like a quick word, actually.
Why, have you been sent back to apologise? Not exactly.
I'm arresting you for aiding and abetting a rape.
You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence Do you understand? Yes.
In you go.
OK.
I'm arresting your husband for aiding and abetting a rape.
The rape of a child.
We've been making friends with a gentleman called Alistair Green.
Do you know his name? Alistair No.
He knows you.
Oh.
He knows you from Brighton.
Nine years ago.
Right, right, I don't recall names.
See, Alistair saw you nine years ago in a car park at 3am.
With Dr Philip Cleaving.
Ohh What was he doing in Brighton? What were the two of you doing in Brighton at 3am? OK, so perhaps he was there, but that doesn't make me a paedophile.
You're the one to mention paedophile.
Really? Is that the only evidence you've got? No, no, it's not.
Green sees me in a car park? It's just the fucking tip of the iceberg.
Right.
Mm.
Can I just say we are very serious about making an official complaint? Because it does seem to me a bit more than a coincidence that one minute you're questioning me about the rape of that poor little girl, then the next her sister is spray painting "Paedo" on my van.
You clearly told her that you thought I might have been a suspect.
How else would she know? I mean, that's against the law, isn't it? Against the rules.
Shut op, OK? I'm asking the questions.
Yeah.
Mm.
Talk to me about Rose Freeman.
Is she a good dancer? I don't think I want to say anything else to you.
No? How old was she? Eight? That's all right, isn't it? Under your guardianship.
Mm.
Under your care.
Hm Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? The search team at Dr Cleaving's flat turned up a trinket box.
In it Rose Freeman's missing earring.
But also, look at these.
They all belong to those girls.
It means that he is a prolific sex offender.
Can we get these tested for DNA? No, not yet.
Can we test for Edward's DNA the same time were testing for Phil's? Jesus, it's so sad.
Look.
Little girls' stuff.
It's scary.
It is.
I guess Scott had his man.
Yeah.
Dr Cleaving Do you recognise this earring? I am going to find your DNA all over that earring, aren't I? With the other trophies, it is leading to me believe that Rose was not the only girl that you raped.
You've done it before.
You may have done it since.
It turns my stomach.
That's the truth, isn't it, Doctor? And you didn't act alone, did you? Who did you do it with? More exciting when you do it with somebody.
I did it on my own.
It was all me.
OK.
OK? Her dad knew that you'd done this.
Scott Freeman.
And he came after you and you met him and then you killed him.
No.
Yes, you did.
No, I didn't.
I will con I will confess to this.
But I did not kill him.
I didn't attack him.
I don't I can't I don't do well with all that violence.
So you ran away, like a little girl.
Like an eight-year-old girl.
From a big man who was trying to protect his daughter.
You couldn't face up to that.
You don't like that sort of business.
Is that right? I wonder how Rose feels about violence.
About being violated.
I suspect you are a serial paedophile.
And I suspect you have used your knowledge of drugs and medicine .
.
to make sure those little girls don't remember and can't say anything about who did it.
There's not many things that turn my stomach, Doctor.
But there's a bloody awful smell in this room and it smells of you.
So, ANPR picked up the Shaffer van in the vicinity of the towpath at the time of the attack this morning.
Thank you.
Great.
That's amazing.
You're welcome.
Cigarette.
Why was your vehicle near the towpath this morning? I have absolutely no idea.
I was in the office, doing accounts.
Around what sort of time? Half-nine, tennish, something like that, I think.
That's convenient.
Why is that? What? Is it? Mm.
Oh.
This is convenient that you would be at the dance academy .
.
when Scott Freeman was being attacked.
Oh, I mean, that's where I was.
What is this Shaffer van doing at the towpath? I've got no idea.
'Are you Richard? Who's asking? 'I'm the 14 year-old girl.
' You remember that guy? No.
'What are you talking about? Cindy.
' Here's the face.
And who's holding the camera? That was the time I went.
That's the time that Scott asked me to go with him to confront that chap.
So, who was holding the camera? I was.
That was why Scott asked me to go with him.
Absolutely.
I filmed this confrontation here, but I didn't go with Scott - OK, well, let's just say that you were there this morning.
OK, you're there this morning.
And you're waiting in the bushes.
I mean, I don't know what you do.
But then you see Dr Phil Cleaving, your old buddy, coming up the towpath, and you realise that he is the paedophile that you're supposed to be confronting today.
Is that right? Because you start to panic.
You start to shit your pants.
Phil Cleaving immediately gets a whack across the head.
And he sees you behind a camera, cowering behind a camera.
He says, "Edward.
Edward.
"Buddy, chum, pal.
"Protect me, help me.
" Scott's like, "What's going on?" You shit your pants again.
You pick up what we think is a long length of chain with a padlock attached to the wend of it, and you bash Scott across the fucking head with it.
You beat his brains out.
I do need to say we are making this complaint against him.
I'm not going to say anything else with him here cos it seems, well, he's broken some rules, hasn't he? OK, Mr Shaffer, if you feel more comfortable, I'm happy for my colleague to withdraw.
I will, of course, be briefing him.
Well, I'll be outside.
Then we're finished.
OK.
Feel more comfortable now? Yes, thank you.
Good.
Yeah.
Understood.
Got it.
Thank you.
OK.
Oh, bollocks.
OK, due to the lack of hard evidence, and the fact that Edward is about to make an official complaint, I have now got to bail him, Jack.
Why do I even fucking bother doing this fucking bullshit job? I have some news that you might want to hear as well, jack.
Erm so the diving team - Hang on a sec for him, Charlie.
Jack, sit down.
OK.
Yes, Charlie.
Erm the diving team at the canal have pulled up a chain and a padlock from the bottom.
Right.
The weapon.
Well, it's a chain with a padlock attached to it only, unfortunately, because it's been sat in the water for however many hours, so there's no DNA.
Fucking fantastic.
What there are, though, are some grey, cotton fibres trapped in the links of the chain, so - Shaffers have got grey towels.
I have grey towels.
No, he's right, they do.
They use grey towels so the kids can have them.
Look, I tell you what, get down to the towpath, extend the search area, Take a dip while you're there.
Be careful.
Don't drown yourself.
Thanks, boss.
Thank you, Charlie.
Yep.
Jack? Yep.
Hang up, hang up, hang up.
What? Jesus.
Look Edwards's complaint is - I don't give a fuck about the complaint! A.
) The guy has been covering up the rape of an eight-year-old.
B.
) The guy killed Scott Freeman.
C.
) He is linked with a known paedophile, Dr Philip Cleaving.
D.
) We're about to release him so he can work with kids.
You are not the only one who is pissed off about this.
I've been in the Freeman house with all, the tears and all the sobbing and all the heartbreak that cokes with it.
I'm not letting him get away with this.
I'm going to search the crime scene.
I'll find something to link it to Scott Freeman.
Call if you need me.
Paul, look through there.
It's been a while since you had your gloves on.
Sam, why don't you take that bag? Nicole, over here.
OK, there's shitloads of the stuff here.
You will, of course be hearing from my solicitors.
Charming.
Has his complaints got legs? I hope not.
I hope not for Jack's sake.
He's his own worst enemy, isn't he? I'm slightly sick of baby-sitting.
You and me, both.
Nicole, I've just been called back to the station.
OK, when you've finished there, just pop up here, yeah? OK, Sam, you need to stay there.
OK.
Oi! Oi! Can't you leave me alone for five minutes? I've come to apologise.
You've been following me, have you? This is pathetic! Man to man to talk to you.
Leave me alone.
Walk away.
Go back to your fucking shitty job.
Leave me alone.
Mr Shaffer, maybe we can - Boss? So, search team at the dance academy turned up Edward Shaffer's digital camera.
OK? There's an SD card in it that he thought he'd wiped clean.
The Tech managed to recover footage that I'm watching.
'I'm going to make sure I've got some real facts.
'You're sick! Agh! 'Edward! What were you thinking about?' Are you watching? Jack was right.
This is how Scott Freeman was attacked.
That's going to put the bastard in prison.
Edward Shaffer's address.
OK, there you go, Linfield Road.
Go and get him.
'All units, all units.
Potential fatality, Linfield Road.
' Shit.
Linfield Road.
Control from DC Steele.
All received.
I will attend.
Out of the road.
Jeezus! Jack? What the fuck happened? What the fuck are you doing here? Control from DC Steele, how we doing with the ambulance? He's dead.
Control from DC Steele, how we doing with the ambulance? He's fucking dead.
What happened? Jack? I tried to administer first aid, but he's dead.
How hard did you try? I pushed him off the building! Don't give me that.
The car tracker puts you at Edward Shaffer's before the call.
You didn't go back to the flat.
No.
I wish I had.
I would have killed him myself.
That's a quite a thing to say.
Quite a thing to do, the rape of a child.
I was going through Edward Shaffer's things from the mortuary.
It shows a group of men abusing a young boy.
Tracy, we believe that Andre may be the victim of sexual abuse.
What? We always fight.
He hates me.
Will you find him? Please find him.
This is an urgent interview.
Tell me, where is Andre? Andre, it's the police.
Shout of you can hear us.
' 'Police are treating the attack as attempted murder.
' Charlie? Bear with me two seconds.
ID.
Oh.
Well done.
Victim's name is Scott Freeman.
Works at Bellings Casino.
It's inevitable.
Do you remember that video that was going round last week in the office? The paedophile hunter.
I didn't see it.
Well, this Scott Freeman, he claimed to have tracked down a paedophile.
His MO is he poses as a 14 year-old girl online, lures in paedophiles, comes to meet them and fucking bashes them.
That's a high-risk strategy.
The guy's got it coming to him.
That's hardly fair.
You didn't see him.
He's in a bad way.
If you take the law into your own hands, you take the risks.
OK.
I'll finish up this statement.
I'll be five minutes.
I'll talk to Sam.
'I'm the 14 year-old girl.
'I've set you up.
What are you talking about? Cindy.
'What are you talking about? You make me absolutely sick.
'What have you got here? I don't go online.
' I kept telling him, if he's gonna keep going we'll do him for assault.
Yeah.
We know that he arranged another one of these little meetings this morning.
Tech have been into his internet chat room, exchanges, where he's going, "I'm Cindy, come meet me," before he does this.
He had been exchanging messages with another user and arranged to meet him on the towpath this morning.
Tech managed to pull the IP address of the other user.
But it goes back to a coffee shop, like a public internet chat room.
Do we have a physical address? Yeah.
It's worth going there and getting some CCTV from the shop.
If they have it.
100%, yeah, do that.
Listen, obviously, somebody else is filming this, so the guy's not working alone.
Can we pull up his phone records from TIU? Sure.
Will do.
Yeah, thanks, bye.
How is he? His injuries caused some bleeding to the brain unfortunately.
They stabilised him as much as they can.
Sadly, he is in critical condition.
So we've got a wife, Iris Freeman, a daughter, Kelly Freeman, and a younger daughter Rose.
Yeah, Rose Freeman.
I've not come across her before.
She's a vicious bitch.
She's been in a number of times on drug charges.
Vicious.
On theft and also assault.
Can you break the news to the family, please? I think probably take a uniform with you if this one's gonna kick off.
Hi.
My name is Detective Sergeant Jack Weston.
Iris Freeman, please? She died two weeks ago.
Is it about Rose? No, it's not about Rose.
I'm very sorry to hear that.
Maybe it's better if we come inside.
Ahem Erm listen Kelly, I'm really sorry to be the one to tell you this, but your father, Scott, has been involved in a very serious assault.
He's in hospital.
He suffered quite a large blow to the head.
OK.
OK.
How is your relationship with your father? Disappeared for nine years.
Came back when Mum died.
Played superhero to Rose and I carried on sweeping up pieces, so OK.
Hi.
How's he doing? Not good.
His brain swelled.
We know your father was attacked between 9am and 10am, but at 9:43 someone used your father's cash card to take out money.
So we're wondering if it could be Rose.
I mean, yeah, it could be.
It's possible.
A couple of hours before you came they were arguing, you know.
And then he stormed out and then she went after.
I don't know - So, hang on, they had an argument.
Yeah.
He left the house and she followed him.
I mean, she went.
I don't know if she followed him.
You think Rose may have attacked your father? She would never attack him.
She loves him.
How do you know? She's a drug addict.
What's she taking these days? She's taking meth.
And I don't know I don't know any more.
I don't know I don't know what she does.
I don't know why he's here and I don't know if she could have done it.
I don't know.
Boss, Jack, I've just received a list of calls from Scott Freeman's phone.
Nothing unusual other than a couple off calls to a local dance school, Shaffer Dance Academy.
Daisy goes there.
Really? Your Daisy? My Daisy, yeah.
Do you want to head down there now? It's OK.
You take care of it.
Sure? Let me know what happens.
That's good.
Here we go.
Did you know I did three years of Irish dancing? I'm not remotely surprised.
That's so rubbish.
Unbelievable.
There's an office.
Hello? Hello.
Oh, hi.
Hi.
Sorry to interrupt.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Tamsin.
Tamsin.
Hi.
Last name? Shaffer.
You run the place.
That's right, yes.
Edward? Yeah.
Hi.
Mr Shaffer? I'm Detective Sergeant Jack Weston.
Hello.
We're investigating an assault on a man called Scott Freeman.
Scott, oh Do you know Scott? Yeah, is he all right? What's? He's in a critical condition.
He's suffered a serious blow to the head.
But we do know that he phoned the dance studio this morning.
We just wanted to know what that was about.
Well, he rang me and he did ask me to go and film this fella he thought was a paedophile.
I didn't go.
I should have gone with him.
I could have looked after him.
Why didn't you go? I wouldn't let him.
I don't think he should be associating with people like paedophiles.
So you have gone to these kind of confrontations before.
I did go once before with him.
He asked me and I filmed him, yeah.
I have to ask you, Mr Shaffer, why you got involved in the first place? He said it was the right thing to do.
He said we should be standing up for these kids because nobody else does and he's very persuasive.
With all due respect, the right thing to do would be to come to the police.
It's our job to deal with criminals, not yours.
You could have got yourselves hurt like Scott did this morning.
That's a lesson learned, I hope.
Yes.
Jack, how did you get on at Daisy's dance school? Scott was phoning the dance school because Edward was the cameraman for the confrontation.
He's not a target.
Well, thank fuck for that.
He's a reluctant cameraman.
The lesser of two evils.
Yes? I have the CCTV from the cashpoint where Scott's debit card was used if anybody would like to watch.
Press Play.
There she is.
Rose Freeman, hello.
Jittery little thing.
She's gagging for a fix.
She's emptying her dad's account so she's going to score.
Where is this? The cashpoint is on Windsor Street, so we know exactly where she is.
I fucking hate that place.
Up on your feet.
Rose, up on your feet.
Don't touch me! Get off me! Up! Up! Get your hands off me! Rose.
You're coming in! No! Ahh! No! Rose! Rose! Get off! On your knees.
On your knees.
On your knees.
On your knees.
Rose, I am not going to break your arm! Pipe down! Rose Freeman, I am arresting you on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something you later rely on in court.
Anything you say may be given in evidence.
Understand? Rose, do you understand? Do you understand what I'm saying or do you not? I've been going through Rose's mobile phone.
11:25pm last night, Scott, her dad texted her simply saying, "I think I've found the bastard.
" So maybe Scott realised he had found Rose's rapist.
What? Who's raped who? Bringing her back in the car she was screaming and ranting and raving about "I've been raped.
"If anyone's attacked my dad, it's not me, it's the guy who raped me.
" We just wait for her to calm down and then talk to her about it.
Because at the moment she's making so little sense.
We can't talk to Rose, can we, so we'll have to talk to Kelly, OK? Kelly, erm .
.
Rose mentioned erm Rose mentioned that when we arrested her that she had been raped.
I don't know if that's news to you.
I don't know if that's No.
No, it's not news.
It was something she said happened years ago.
We were away for the weekend.
What happened? How many years ago? Eight or nine years ago.
I don't know.
OK.
And where did you go? Apparently, the rape is supposed to have happened at a dance competition nine years ago in Brighton, when Rose was just a child .
.
when both of the girls were under the care of Tamsin and Edward Shaffer.
Rose we've had a little look at your phone.
There's a conversation you've been having on the text with your dad.
There's actually an unanswered reply from your dad.
It says: "I think I've found the bastard.
" Remind yourself of how that went.
Who do you think he's referring to there? My dad was trying to find the man that raped me.
And I told him there's no point, there's no point trying to find him cos I don't have any proof, and no-one will believe me.
Sounds like he thinks he found the person responsible.
Hm? Do you know who the person might be that he's found, that he thinks is responsible? I don't remember.
I I remember waking up in this strange room.
There was a man on on top of me.
And another man .
.
he put something in my arm.
And I was unconscious.
I don't And I don't remember.
What do you mean, put something in your arm? What do you mean by that? He injected me with something.
And I woke up the next morning and I felt pain.
I felt pain down there.
It was so sore.
Do you remember if the man said anything or did anything at all? Can you remember any detail about it? He said He said "Sweet dreams.
" "Sweet dreams.
" "Sweet dreams.
" Ah, Martha, hi.
Miss Shaffer, how are you? I'm good, thank you.
How are you? Yes, not too bad.
I'm here in a slightly different capacity.
I never realised you were a police officer.
Wow.
Thank God for that.
They're a motley bunch.
I'm glad you didn't spot it.
So, I'm aware that you've been talking to my officers.
And we've been talking to Rose, your old student.
Rose Freeman.
Yeah.
There was an allegation of rape when she was younger.
She said that she spoke to you about it.
Yeah.
.
She said she was raped at a dance competition about nine years ago in Brighton.
Yeah, the first I heard of this was Scott told me.
He said this had happened and this is why he wanted to go on this, you know, vigilante thing.
I told him we should go straight to the police when something like that happens.
That's the right thing to do.
How is he? He's not great, to be honest.
Oh, God.
Poor Scott.
That could have been me, couldn't it, lying in that hospital bed? Yeah.
Thank God, eh? Yeah.
I just want to see what you remember because she said she spoke to you about it.
Yes, she did.
I put the children to bed about 9pm.
Everything seemed fine.
The next day she was so tearful.
She came to me, saying that she'd had this experience where she'd been touched.
So I asked her a bit about it.
Erm she was very incoherent.
Some of it didn't make sense.
So I gave her a big cuddle.
I phoned her mum.
She told me that one explanation had been that Rose been doing something about stranger danger in school, and maybe that was a side effect.
If I thought for one moment it was possible, then I would, of course, have gone to the police, but given that Kelly, Rose's sister, was in the room all night, then it couldn't have happened because I questioned Kelly and she said that nothing untoward had gone on and that Rose had slept fine all night, so I don't think I made any mistakes.
I snuck out that night to meet a guy from another dance team.
I was 15.
I was tired of being a carer for my mum and a parent to my younger sister.
I just wanted to have fun, that was all.
I didn't mean anything.
The next day, er Tamsin asked me if Rose woke up in the night.
I said no.
But I lied.
I wasn't there.
I didn't know.
What was the name of the boy that you snuck out with? Alistair Green.
Does Rose know that you snuck out now? Have you told her? No.
I have to say, I must slightly question why you haven't mentioned any of this to my officers before now.
Obviously, you've been talking to them.
Because I didn't want to damage the reputation of the school, Martha.
I notice that Daisy isn't here today.
I hope she's feeling better.
My Daisy? She's fine.
A head cold or something.
Terrible patient.
I'm sure she'll be back soon.
No, thanks for your time.
Appreciate it.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
How did you go with Edward? He's not the sort of person that I'd warm to, naturally.
What do you mean? He's just a gob shite, isn't he? How's Daisy? I didn't know she was sick.
No, is she hell? Any sign of a kiddy fiddler, do you know what I mean? Not on my doorstep, thank you very much.
Who's broken the printer? Jack? Yeah.
I have just been down in TIU.
There's a series of text messages from last night between Scott posing as Cindy and the guy he arranged to meet on the towpath, right? What caught my eye was the person who was texting signed off his last message with the phrase, "Sweet dreams," Which is what Rose said her rapist said to her that night in Brighton.
The mobile phone number is registered to a guy called Dr Philip Cleaving.
He runs St Jonas Surgery on Capland Road.
Yeah? So that coffee shop with the IP address register to the person Scott was corresponding with in that internet chat room.
This is CCTV and here we see Dr Phil Cleaving in there at the time of the chat, I'm pretty sure accessing the web room on his mobile phone.
I don't think it's looking good for him at all.
He is messaging someone he believes to be a 14 year-old girl called Cindy, then arranges to meet her on a deserted towpath by a canal.
So, in my mind, that sequence of events leads to Dr Cleaving turning up, meeting not Cindy, but a very angry Scott Freeman who calls him out as a paedophile and a rapist, says, "I'm going to out you, and I think he then batters him.
" Dr Philip Cleaving? Yes? Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Don't hit me! What? Hang on.
I'm Detective Sergeant Jack Weston.
I'd like you to come down to the station with me.
Now? I've got some questions to ask you.
You are Dr Philip Cleaving? I am.
Do you mind accompanying me? Not at all, no, that's fine.
We can maybe talk through this.
Who's that? Well, it's me, obviously.
Do you want a closer look? No, thanks.
Were you texting? Taking photographs? Looks like it, yeah.
Who were you texting? Well, I text people, you know.
Who the fuck are you texting? OK.
Who's Cindy? What were you doing on the towpath? I was I'd been going online the last few months.
Just A big relationship broke up.
You know, you go online and you chat.
To children's forums.
No, no, no.
To children's forums.
Cindy's a child.
You're texting Cindy.
You went to meet Cindy on the towpath.
No.
I want to be absolutely clear about that.
Please be very clear.
Right if you let me get two words out, maybe I can clarify.
You go online, people role-play.
You wouldn't believe the number of Xena Warrior Princesses that are out there.
People who think they are Vlad The Impaler.
In this case .
.
I'll admit that I've been having trouble with certain fantasises.
So I'm in the forum.
It seems to me to be just role play.
You get into it and and it's probably a 35-year-old woman.
So I arranged to meet.
I'm not proud of it.
It's just one of those things that you're on the internet and You're kind of in a You're kind of sleepwalking a little bit.
I turned up, thinking, "What would I say to a 14-year-old?" It isn't a 14 year-old girl, it's probably It turns out to be this guy this big guy who starts, you know, attacking me.
OK, that guy is now in a very critical condition in hospital.
So what did you do to him? I did nothing to him.
What did you hit him? I didn't hit him with anything.
I ran.
You ran? He hit you and you ran? He hit me.
He hit you and you hit him back.
I didn't hit him back.
I'm not very good at all that.
I don't like physical violence.
You met a guy called Scott Freeman.
Scott Freeman finds fuckers like you on the internet.
He says, "Are you up for this kind of stuff?" You say yes.
"Let's meet.
" And then he bashes you one.
He bashes you one.
You turn around, you bash him one.
OK? No.
Is that what happened? You see, he hit you, OK, because he believed that you raped his daughter.
What? Hello? Me again.
Not for the last time, I'm sure.
Mr Shaffer, could you join us for two seconds? I'm having awful trouble, identifying this man.
Do you know who that is? Yeah, it's Phil.
Dr Phil Cleaving.
So you know this man? Yeah, I was at university with him, like, 20-odd years ago.
So you're good friends.
Well, then we were.
I've not seen him for years and years.
Nine years? I don't know, about 15 years, I think.
A reunion or something.
I can't remember.
Years ago.
But not nine years ago? No, why would? Right.
Is this connected to Rose? Yes.
Phil was never there, was he? No.
He's not connected to our studio or academy.
I don't think he'd have any reason to be there.
He has no interest.
Why would be be there? There are no right or wrong answers.
It's not an exam.
Sorry, you just caught us in the middle of something.
We just I'm in the middle of something too.
Listen, I'm going to need a list of people who attended that dance competition.
We haven't got a problem with that.
It'll be on an old computer.
What's he supposed to have done, anyway? He's helping us with our enquiries.
Thanks very much.
Rose, are you sure, as sure as you can be, that this is the man who attacked you? Who was in loco parentis that night? The Shaffers.
If Phil raped Rose, the Shaffers gave him access.
End of story, Charlie.
Scott Freeman has just passed away.
Bleeding to the brain.
Charlie, listen, go down, break the news to Rose, then whip her down to the hospital.
I'm going to liaise with central MI Team, all right? We've got a murder enquiry now.
Rose, Kelly, listen, I'm very sorry for your loss.
They've just been in the chapel of rest.
How are you guys doing? Yeah? Rose, you OK? Why? Why would they kill him? That's what we're trying to figure out.
He came back into our life.
I know.
Why would they kill him? I know.
We need to figure out, a.
) who's done this, and, b.
) why they've done this? Erm, Kelly what about the Shaffers? Do you trust them? Jack.
Jack? Do you think they had something to do with it? Er, listen You asked me about what I thought.
Listen, from our point of view, we're trying to figure out how whoever has done this to your sister got access to the room without the Shaffers knowing.
Can you excuse us a second? Jack, can I have a word? I won't be a tick.
I know what you're going to say.
That's not good enough.
Have you lost your fucking mind? Hang on a second, Detective Constable, one second.
Edward Shaffer is in this up to his eyeballs.
I'm scratching a few wounds to see if they bleed.
I'm going to drive the girls home.
OK.
I'm going to see if they have any photos from that dance competition, a programme, something like that.
Hopefully, something helpful.
Ladies, I'm so sorry about that, first of all.
And, second of all, why don't I drive you home? Oh This is it.
Is that it? My mum made this for me as a It was a good-luck gift for the competition.
There was two.
I remember, I woke up, the next morning and it all it was gone.
The other one was gone.
OK.
Rose? Can I take it? Look, why don't you pop it in here? I will take very good care of it.
Thank you.
I remember Tamsin said to me that it was all a bad dream.
She didn't believe me.
She didn't believe me.
I believe you.
Please believe me, Kelly, but she raped me.
They didn't help me.
They raped me.
I'm so sorry.
So, UV photos of Scott Freeman' head injury, indicate the murder weapon was a chain with a padlock attached.
Fuck.
Afternoon.
Oh! Charlie, here you go.
Keeping it warm.
Honestly, you're welcome to it.
So, Rose said that her mum made her a set of earrings as a good-luck charm for the dance competition.
Right? She said she went to bed, wearing two, and that when she woke up in the morning, after the attack had happened, she only had one left.
She's scoured that room, looking for them.
I'm wondering if the attacker took it as a trophy, a memento.
Apparently, there's some sort of disturbance at the dance academy.
Are there any kids still there? I don't think so.
I'll check.
Get back to me.
OK.
What kind of disturbance? How could you let him do that to her, you heartless bitch? How could you let him do that to her? How could you let him do that to her? Have you seen this? Look at this.
Don't fucking touch me.
The whole street's seen this.
"Paedo" sprayed on my fucking van? Mr Shaffer, I think - No, I think you should two should calm down.
You've been putting ideas in that stupid girl's mind.
I'm going inside and I'll file a complaint against you.
Please do.
Official complaint.
Hold your temper, Mr Shaffer.
Fucker.
Jeee-zus! We've seen what he's capable of.
Did you see him fucking grab me? I'll cheer you up with a little nugget of information.
All right? Do you remember, Kelly said that she wasn't in the room with her sister when she was raped? She was with her boyfriend.
I've tracked down the boyfriend, Alistair, and he has confirmed they went clubbing till sod o'clock in the morning, three, or something like that, OK? He's also said that he saw, when they returned to the car park, two men talking to each other.
He's identified one of those men as Edward Shaffer.
The other guy he didn't recognise.
He said the other guy was driving a bright red Porsche Boxster.
I checked with DVLA.
Guess who was driving a bright-red Porsche Boxster nine years ago.
Excellent.
Edward Shaffer said that Philip Cleaving wasn't there that night.
We now know he's lying.
Arrest him? Absolutely.
Where does he live? Porsche Boxster.
A nice, bright-red one.
Ever had one of those? Doesn't ring a bell.
That's funny because I've got I've got the DVLA records that show me that you did own a bright-red Porsche Boxster.
In fact, a car that would be very hard to forget Doctor.
Well, if you say so.
Mr Shaffer? Hi.
I'd like a quick word, actually.
Why, have you been sent back to apologise? Not exactly.
I'm arresting you for aiding and abetting a rape.
You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence Do you understand? Yes.
In you go.
OK.
I'm arresting your husband for aiding and abetting a rape.
The rape of a child.
We've been making friends with a gentleman called Alistair Green.
Do you know his name? Alistair No.
He knows you.
Oh.
He knows you from Brighton.
Nine years ago.
Right, right, I don't recall names.
See, Alistair saw you nine years ago in a car park at 3am.
With Dr Philip Cleaving.
Ohh What was he doing in Brighton? What were the two of you doing in Brighton at 3am? OK, so perhaps he was there, but that doesn't make me a paedophile.
You're the one to mention paedophile.
Really? Is that the only evidence you've got? No, no, it's not.
Green sees me in a car park? It's just the fucking tip of the iceberg.
Right.
Mm.
Can I just say we are very serious about making an official complaint? Because it does seem to me a bit more than a coincidence that one minute you're questioning me about the rape of that poor little girl, then the next her sister is spray painting "Paedo" on my van.
You clearly told her that you thought I might have been a suspect.
How else would she know? I mean, that's against the law, isn't it? Against the rules.
Shut op, OK? I'm asking the questions.
Yeah.
Mm.
Talk to me about Rose Freeman.
Is she a good dancer? I don't think I want to say anything else to you.
No? How old was she? Eight? That's all right, isn't it? Under your guardianship.
Mm.
Under your care.
Hm Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? The search team at Dr Cleaving's flat turned up a trinket box.
In it Rose Freeman's missing earring.
But also, look at these.
They all belong to those girls.
It means that he is a prolific sex offender.
Can we get these tested for DNA? No, not yet.
Can we test for Edward's DNA the same time were testing for Phil's? Jesus, it's so sad.
Look.
Little girls' stuff.
It's scary.
It is.
I guess Scott had his man.
Yeah.
Dr Cleaving Do you recognise this earring? I am going to find your DNA all over that earring, aren't I? With the other trophies, it is leading to me believe that Rose was not the only girl that you raped.
You've done it before.
You may have done it since.
It turns my stomach.
That's the truth, isn't it, Doctor? And you didn't act alone, did you? Who did you do it with? More exciting when you do it with somebody.
I did it on my own.
It was all me.
OK.
OK? Her dad knew that you'd done this.
Scott Freeman.
And he came after you and you met him and then you killed him.
No.
Yes, you did.
No, I didn't.
I will con I will confess to this.
But I did not kill him.
I didn't attack him.
I don't I can't I don't do well with all that violence.
So you ran away, like a little girl.
Like an eight-year-old girl.
From a big man who was trying to protect his daughter.
You couldn't face up to that.
You don't like that sort of business.
Is that right? I wonder how Rose feels about violence.
About being violated.
I suspect you are a serial paedophile.
And I suspect you have used your knowledge of drugs and medicine .
.
to make sure those little girls don't remember and can't say anything about who did it.
There's not many things that turn my stomach, Doctor.
But there's a bloody awful smell in this room and it smells of you.
So, ANPR picked up the Shaffer van in the vicinity of the towpath at the time of the attack this morning.
Thank you.
Great.
That's amazing.
You're welcome.
Cigarette.
Why was your vehicle near the towpath this morning? I have absolutely no idea.
I was in the office, doing accounts.
Around what sort of time? Half-nine, tennish, something like that, I think.
That's convenient.
Why is that? What? Is it? Mm.
Oh.
This is convenient that you would be at the dance academy .
.
when Scott Freeman was being attacked.
Oh, I mean, that's where I was.
What is this Shaffer van doing at the towpath? I've got no idea.
'Are you Richard? Who's asking? 'I'm the 14 year-old girl.
' You remember that guy? No.
'What are you talking about? Cindy.
' Here's the face.
And who's holding the camera? That was the time I went.
That's the time that Scott asked me to go with him to confront that chap.
So, who was holding the camera? I was.
That was why Scott asked me to go with him.
Absolutely.
I filmed this confrontation here, but I didn't go with Scott - OK, well, let's just say that you were there this morning.
OK, you're there this morning.
And you're waiting in the bushes.
I mean, I don't know what you do.
But then you see Dr Phil Cleaving, your old buddy, coming up the towpath, and you realise that he is the paedophile that you're supposed to be confronting today.
Is that right? Because you start to panic.
You start to shit your pants.
Phil Cleaving immediately gets a whack across the head.
And he sees you behind a camera, cowering behind a camera.
He says, "Edward.
Edward.
"Buddy, chum, pal.
"Protect me, help me.
" Scott's like, "What's going on?" You shit your pants again.
You pick up what we think is a long length of chain with a padlock attached to the wend of it, and you bash Scott across the fucking head with it.
You beat his brains out.
I do need to say we are making this complaint against him.
I'm not going to say anything else with him here cos it seems, well, he's broken some rules, hasn't he? OK, Mr Shaffer, if you feel more comfortable, I'm happy for my colleague to withdraw.
I will, of course, be briefing him.
Well, I'll be outside.
Then we're finished.
OK.
Feel more comfortable now? Yes, thank you.
Good.
Yeah.
Understood.
Got it.
Thank you.
OK.
Oh, bollocks.
OK, due to the lack of hard evidence, and the fact that Edward is about to make an official complaint, I have now got to bail him, Jack.
Why do I even fucking bother doing this fucking bullshit job? I have some news that you might want to hear as well, jack.
Erm so the diving team - Hang on a sec for him, Charlie.
Jack, sit down.
OK.
Yes, Charlie.
Erm the diving team at the canal have pulled up a chain and a padlock from the bottom.
Right.
The weapon.
Well, it's a chain with a padlock attached to it only, unfortunately, because it's been sat in the water for however many hours, so there's no DNA.
Fucking fantastic.
What there are, though, are some grey, cotton fibres trapped in the links of the chain, so - Shaffers have got grey towels.
I have grey towels.
No, he's right, they do.
They use grey towels so the kids can have them.
Look, I tell you what, get down to the towpath, extend the search area, Take a dip while you're there.
Be careful.
Don't drown yourself.
Thanks, boss.
Thank you, Charlie.
Yep.
Jack? Yep.
Hang up, hang up, hang up.
What? Jesus.
Look Edwards's complaint is - I don't give a fuck about the complaint! A.
) The guy has been covering up the rape of an eight-year-old.
B.
) The guy killed Scott Freeman.
C.
) He is linked with a known paedophile, Dr Philip Cleaving.
D.
) We're about to release him so he can work with kids.
You are not the only one who is pissed off about this.
I've been in the Freeman house with all, the tears and all the sobbing and all the heartbreak that cokes with it.
I'm not letting him get away with this.
I'm going to search the crime scene.
I'll find something to link it to Scott Freeman.
Call if you need me.
Paul, look through there.
It's been a while since you had your gloves on.
Sam, why don't you take that bag? Nicole, over here.
OK, there's shitloads of the stuff here.
You will, of course be hearing from my solicitors.
Charming.
Has his complaints got legs? I hope not.
I hope not for Jack's sake.
He's his own worst enemy, isn't he? I'm slightly sick of baby-sitting.
You and me, both.
Nicole, I've just been called back to the station.
OK, when you've finished there, just pop up here, yeah? OK, Sam, you need to stay there.
OK.
Oi! Oi! Can't you leave me alone for five minutes? I've come to apologise.
You've been following me, have you? This is pathetic! Man to man to talk to you.
Leave me alone.
Walk away.
Go back to your fucking shitty job.
Leave me alone.
Mr Shaffer, maybe we can - Boss? So, search team at the dance academy turned up Edward Shaffer's digital camera.
OK? There's an SD card in it that he thought he'd wiped clean.
The Tech managed to recover footage that I'm watching.
'I'm going to make sure I've got some real facts.
'You're sick! Agh! 'Edward! What were you thinking about?' Are you watching? Jack was right.
This is how Scott Freeman was attacked.
That's going to put the bastard in prison.
Edward Shaffer's address.
OK, there you go, Linfield Road.
Go and get him.
'All units, all units.
Potential fatality, Linfield Road.
' Shit.
Linfield Road.
Control from DC Steele.
All received.
I will attend.
Out of the road.
Jeezus! Jack? What the fuck happened? What the fuck are you doing here? Control from DC Steele, how we doing with the ambulance? He's dead.
Control from DC Steele, how we doing with the ambulance? He's fucking dead.
What happened? Jack? I tried to administer first aid, but he's dead.
How hard did you try? I pushed him off the building! Don't give me that.
The car tracker puts you at Edward Shaffer's before the call.
You didn't go back to the flat.
No.
I wish I had.
I would have killed him myself.
That's a quite a thing to say.
Quite a thing to do, the rape of a child.
I was going through Edward Shaffer's things from the mortuary.
It shows a group of men abusing a young boy.
Tracy, we believe that Andre may be the victim of sexual abuse.
What? We always fight.
He hates me.
Will you find him? Please find him.
This is an urgent interview.
Tell me, where is Andre? Andre, it's the police.
Shout of you can hear us.
