Waking the Dead (2000) s05e12 Episode Script
Cold Fusion: Part 2
I'm re-opening Cherry Tree Farm.
.
.
This doesn't mean Holmes is innocent.
I just want the truth to come out.
Forget the DNA, we found his shirt soaked in his wife's blood.
No, you didn't, Spence.
At three o'clock this morning, your access card was used to gain entry to the evidence room.
I don't believe Spence has got anything to do with this.
The blood trace from Cherry Tree Farm was destroyed in the fire.
Tom McQueen? Would he be worried if any new evidence came to light? They already had a mole so they wanted me to set up an anti-Dunwell group and cross-contaminate.
While you were spying on them you saw who actually killed them.
Right? Somebody's trying to corrupt this.
Felix has got a match on the Cherry Tree Farm DNA.
It's a Clifford Day, 50-years-old.
I'll pick him up now.
This programme contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.
We need to contain you in here for the moment.
I want to know how Felix Gibson is.
She's stable, sir.
Anything else? That's all we know, Doctor.
I'll leave you in here but you will be locked in.
Why? You are categorised as contaminated.
We won't let you out until we get the all-clear.
That's nice to know, isn't it? What if we want to pee? BEEPING 'Yes?' Council.
Mr Clifford Day? Yep.
DI Jordan, Cold Case Squad.
I'm arresting you for the murders of Marcus Coulter and Jackie Holmes.
I just want to know how Felix Gibson is, please.
Bastards! You'd think they'd give you some incontinence pads with these.
Does this look red to you? No, it's fine.
Spence? Spence? 'Hello?' Can you hear me? Yeah.
I'm bringing him home.
No, there's no point.
There's been an explosion in the squad room.
You can't get in or out of the building.
What? It was a package that was sent to you.
A package? In a brown envelope? GUNSHOT Aaargh! SECOND GUNSHOT Spence? Spence? What? What's happened? I think I heard a gunshot.
HE RAPS ON DOOR Hello! Come on! Come on, move! Hello! Open up! I've got a car.
Where? Down there.
Come on.
Let's go.
Get up! Get up! Move! Through the gates! What have I done? HE COUGHS LOUDLY I can't breathe.
Hang in there.
Come on.
Hold on.
Come on.
In you get.
TYRES SQUEAL PHONE RINGS 'It just keeps ringing.
' Sir, I'm afraid I'm going to have to take your phone.
We've got an officer down.
You have to get help.
Wait a minute.
Who's in charge here? Commander Drake is on his way.
Drake? You have an officer in trouble? Yes.
What about Felix Gibson? I can't get anybody's attention here.
I believe she's hanging on, sir.
I really don't know.
Please, I need your phone.
Why do you need this? Because they can be used as detonators without user knowledge or consent.
You're not having my phone.
Boyd! You're NO T having my phone! You've got a phone, he's got a phone, you're not having my phone until you get me a landline in here.
THEY ARGUE Boys, for God's sake.
Thank you, sir.
OK.
And don't you talk to me about my team.
About keeping calm.
Yes.
Why didn't you tell him about Spence? What are the Anti-Terrorist Operations doing here? A bomb's gone off! What are they doing in the building? For God's sake, Boyd, stop being paranoid.
We're being followed.
It's the black SUV.
This is Detective Superintendent Boyd, warrant number 176401.
I want to report an incident and require back-up for a police officer who is under attack.
Yeah.
Shots have been fired and the officer is down.
OK? It's at the residence of Clifford Day.
Hounslow.
That's all I know.
You can check it out, can't you? And this requires a tactical firearms unit, all right? Do NO T just send a patrol car.
'If any of you experience any difficulties breathing 'or notice unusual markings on your skin, please notify me immediately.
' Thank you.
176401, yes.
OK.
Tell me about Spence.
You don't think I'm being paranoid.
We've got the Anti-Terrorist Operations turn up, Drake heads them.
the Atomic Energy Constabulary.
He ran informers and agents.
Clifford Day worked for him.
His blood turns up at Cherry Tree Farm.
McQueen worked for the AEC.
He was the arresting officer.
They are all here.
What do you think? You're not paranoid.
Thank you.
They're still behind us.
CAR HORN, TYRES SQUEAL The engine's going.
What? I must have been hit.
Come on! Oh, God! Come on! Get up! PHONE RINGS Tom McQueen? Yeah.
This is Detective Superintendent Boyd.
Hello? Yeah.
I'm still here.
Yeah.
OK.
OK.
Look Spencer went to apprehend a suspect this afternoon and I'm afraid he's got himself into some trouble.
What kind of trouble? I don't know.
I'm not in a position to find out.
Right.
What's the address? Oh, God! I can't.
I can't.
I can't walk any more.
I can't.
Commander Drake? Yes.
Lucy Johnson, Paramedic Silver.
Good morning.
How far have we got with diagnosing the chemical agent? Samples haven't revealed any harmful bacteria, living or dead.
Ricin? Ricin-binding antibody tests were negative, we're testing for VX, phosgene and sarin.
And the, er, the air safe to breathe? The mobile team are testing five canisters but that'll take time.
And the other officers? Initial tests haven't given us anything.
Still waiting for blood tests but we can't gauge a meaningful presenting time.
I need to conduct some interviews.
Is there anywhere that hasn't been contaminated? The laboratory has an airlock so there's a negative pressure.
Sir, I would urge you to stay out of the building until we have the all-clear.
I haven't got time.
May I suggest you conduct your interviews by phone? No, I need to speak to these people face to face.
I think he's gone.
Who's trying to kill you? I don't know.
Bollocks! I could walk out of here right now.
Why don't you then? Because I want some answers.
Lean forward.
Get in touch with my lawyer.
Lean forward.
HE WHIMPERS Quiet, I'm gonna save your life.
OK.
Lean back.
This is about Cherry Tree Farm, isn't it? What? Isn't it? There's something I don't understand, Stella.
What? You know you helped us with the hard drive? Yeah.
After you left, we printed off the command history.
And? Well, for someone who says they know a lot about computers you do realise you were going down the route of deletion? Oh, yeah.
I was distracted.
Boyd came in.
I had to rush.
Sure.
There would have been on-screen warnings about this.
Just, it looks like you were trying to corrupt it.
That's not true.
You got data from it, didn't you? It looks like it but you're not sure about it? No, I'm sure.
I'm sure.
Why would I destroy evidence? Why would he make something like this up? Exactly.
He's obviously confused.
No.
He doesn't sound confused.
He's gonna get into trouble for bringing the hard drive from the Central Lab fire.
So? So maybe he's spreading blame.
Oh, how does him accusing you spread the blame? I don't I was trying to help.
Right, so there's nothing in it? Nothing.
OK.
I'm Commander Drake.
What's her condition? We need to get her to hospital, sir, there's a limit to what we can do.
No hospital will take her until we know what's contaminated her.
You'll just have to do the best you can.
Any equipment you need, just ask.
Thank you, sir.
Sir, you need to see this.
What is it? This hard drive was illegally removed from the Central Lab crime scene.
By who? Dr Harry Barton.
He's in the interview room with the others.
What are you doing? Find a phone.
Get a move on.
I'm dying here.
Any change of condition, let me know.
Excuse me.
Can I take this off now, or do you want me to keep it on? Yes, take it off.
Commander Drake.
Peter Boyd.
How is Felix? Well, we're doing everything we can for her.
Meaning? Meaning we don't know what she's been contaminated with, therefore we just have to be patient.
I know how hard that can be.
Let's go in here.
Stella what Harry said No.
OK.
Stop looking at me like that.
Just need your scrawl on this.
I don't have my glasses with me.
Sorry.
In your own time.
It's just that ATO's jurisdiction does not extend beyond the contaminated package and locating the people responsible.
I didn't imagine it would.
Well, you'll still have overall operational command.
But, under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, my authority supersedes yours if there's a conflict of interest.
To put it simply, Peter, if this was my place, I too would be truly pissed off, so let's try to get along, eh? And catch the bastards responsible.
Sounds like a plan.
Good.
Now this package, er it was addressed to Spencer Jordan.
Mmm-hmm.
Where is he? I don't know.
Is it normal for you not to know where your officers are? It is if it's their birthday and they have the afternoon off.
Ah, birthdays.
Tell me, has, er has anything out of the ordinary happened in the last 24 hours? You mean apart from the chemical attack? Yes, apart from that.
No.
That was a test of your co-operation, Peter.
I'm sorry to say you failed.
What the hell are you doing? Looking for a phone.
Let me save you the trouble.
They're all out.
No, no, listen, no.
I was a GPO engineer.
I can fix things.
I have just placed Harry Barton in custody for removing evidence from a crime scene.
Now he tells me that somebody attempted an unauthorised entry into your evidence room at three o'clock this morning.
Mmm, that is right.
Yes.
And that the main suspect was Spencer Jordan, as it was his access card.
Access cards can be faked or manipulated if you have an overriding code.
Is there any reason at all why one should believe these implausible explanations? Yes.
I trust Spencer Jordan.
Even though you heard only two hours later that another forensic lab was burned down, just 20 miles away? Tell me, the evidence boxes, had they been tampered with, opened? Just the one.
Cherry Tree Farm.
Cherry Tree Farm? Wasn't Spencer Jordan the arresting officer in that case? Uh-huh.
Where is he now? I've already told you.
I, er Stop covering up for him, Peter.
I'm not.
Honestly.
I don't know.
OK.
OK.
Is there a phone socket? Get the top off.
We need the top off this.
Hang in there.
Drag the top off.
We need the frame box, over there.
OK.
Come on.
You can do it.
You can do it.
You all right? Yeah, leave that there.
The Book of Job.
Any thoughts? I need your input in this.
Well, give me my freedom to manoeuvre and access to my normal communications All right.
Yes.
OK.
You can have that.
Thank you.
My officers want access to every case file that Spencer Jordan has worked on in the last two years.
No problem.
Well, that's good, good.
PHONE RINGS Drake.
Oh, that's great.
That's great.
Thank you.
Good news.
It appears that the substance used was essentially benign.
Benign? Well, I haven't been briefed entirely by my chem team but they assure me that they think Dr Gibson will pull through.
And will they tell Dr Foley and DS Goodman? As we speak.
Good.
Thank you.
So you are free to move around, only I would ask that you and your team stay within the building until we sort this mess out.
This could be part of something much bigger.
We don't know.
Could be just a diversion.
The safest place to be is here.
I understand.
We both know you should have called the cavalry about Spencer Jordan.
My guess is you wanted to have it out with him man to man.
Yeah, I'm going to talk to him.
Can you give me assurance now of your full co-operation? Of course.
DOOR OPENS Good news.
There's no present threat on the chemical agent.
Oh, great.
What do you mean exactly? No idea.
Commander Drake will fill you in later.
We've organised some clothes for you.
Oh, great.
Thank you.
PHONE RINGS Yeah? Yeah, Boyd, it's McQueen.
So what's happening? Yeah, I'm at Clifford Day's block along with half the police and paramedics in West London.
'I spoke to a neighbour who said there'd been a shooting.
' Is Spencer involved? Somebody was shot, that's all I know.
If I get any more, I'll call you on this number.
Yeah, please.
Thanks.
Got it? Yeah.
Has he gone? Well, maybe he wants us to think he has.
Let's get out of here.
No, not yet.
We've got to get out, man, I've had it.
I need help.
You'll get help when we fix the phone, OK? Hi.
Hi.
Any news of Spence? No.
He's not answering his mobile.
I'm sure he can look after himself.
They've been through everything in here.
I've got a report on Clifford Day.
Want to hear it? Yeah.
Go on.
Early '70s, telecommunications engineer with the GPO.
'77 accessory to murder but case dismissed.
'79 conspiracy under the Data Protection Act, bugging offices of the Anti Nazi League.
And the arresting officer, CI William Drake.
That's great.
We've got a connection on court record.
Yes, Drake argued leniency, quote, ".
.
was thought to have been manipulated by racists "keen to exploit his undoubted prowess in electronics and surveillance".
We know from McQueen that Drake was into that.
Yes, but how do you go from surveillance to double murder and mutilation? No idea, but Drake must have used Day to run Penny Coulter.
Drake knows that if Day finds out we're re-opening the investigation, he's going to start bargaining, so he's going to get hold of Day and get rid of him before he squeals.
So poor old Spence was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Yeah.
This end.
This one? Yeah.
OK.
Anything? Nothing.
Try again.
DIAL TONE Yeah.
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on, come on, come on! 'Hello? Cold Case Unit.
' DI Jordan.
Get Boyd now, quick! PHONE RINGS Commander Drake, ATO.
Sir, it's Spencer Jordan.
Spencer? 'Sir, I have a serious problem.
'I arrested a murder suspect in TW17 but was ambushed by a gunman.
' We're holed up in an industrial estate, I don't know where.
We're routing your call through the emergency service database.
It should throw us up an address.
Sir, please hurry, the man is armed and my witness is seriously injured.
Hang in there, Spence, we're on it.
OK.
Thank you.
Got a fix on their location, Brady's Warehouse, Jerwood Lane Industrial Estate, TW17.
Shall I bounce it to Emergency Services? No.
There's a gunman.
I want an ATO tactical squad.
You want me to initiate that? No, I'll do it.
You get into Spencer's PC.
I want to see what case he's been working on.
Yes, sir.
Where are you? 'I left the party before the police came.
' Look, I told you.
There aren't any police.
Jordan's call came through here to me.
OK, I'm sending the exact location e- mail to your PDA.
It's Brady's Warehouse, ground floor, north side.
Now just get on with it.
No excuses.
Call me when it's done.
You know when I close my eyes at night I still see Jackie Holmes' face.
Me and my partner were the first to arrive on the scene.
I was a kid.
I wasn't ready for what I saw in there.
We found your DNA at Cherry Tree Farm.
Your blood was at Cherry Tree Farm.
Did you kill Jackie Holmes and Marcus Coulter? No! Christ, no! So why was your blood at the scene? There'd been a Shut Down Dunwell meeting .
.
and my lords and masters wanted a recording of Marcus and Jackie's post-match analysis.
I'd taped the murders, Toby Holmes making his wife beg for mercy.
But there was no warrant for the bugs so I had to get them out of there before the regular plods found them.
So you went back? Yeah.
One of my devices was in the light fixture they'd strung her up to.
So I had to climb up there and remove it.
With that in my face.
I snagged my thumb on the wire that he'd tied her up with, that's how my blood got there.
Where's the recording of the murders? I handed it to my MI5 contact.
Is that what paid for your merchant banker's pad? I earned my money more than any merchant banker.
We sent more criminals down in a year than you will in your whole career.
So just you pay me some respect and get me out of here.
We? What? You said, "we sent down more criminals".
I had a mate who got me in and out.
And took care of unexpected interruptions? Why don't I hear any sirens? No, no, no.
Let me get this straight.
Jackie and Marcus left the meeting early because she was upset after her husband turned up.
You couldn't have planned for that.
You weren't expecting that, were you? I told you what happened.
I don't think you were taking bugs out.
I think you were putting them in.
Jackie and Marcus turned up early and surprised you.
Your mate panicked and killed them.
That's what really happened, wasn't it? Wasn't it? What's his name? Forget it.
Do you want me to walk out of here? Hmm? Because if I do, you're a dead man.
Either that guy out there's going to get you or you'll bleed to death.
Now you tell me his name.
McQueen.
Yeah, Tom McQueen.
Your old partner.
He killed them, cut her face off.
Happy now? You're saying that Tom killed them? That's what you're saying? That's what I'm saying.
Why? Where's the bloody ambulance? Why? You were right.
They came home early and caught us.
There was no way Tom was gonna kiss his career goodbye.
And Jackie Holmes's face? To frame the husband.
I heard he'd called her a slut.
Tom said it was too good an opportunity to pass up and we should go back.
GUNSHOT Argh! TWO GUNSHOTS Can I speak to you, Commander? Yes, of course.
This is all you, isn't it? What do you mean? Felix, Spence, the fire at Central Lab.
It's all you.
I don't give a toss about national security or my bloody career, I care about Spencer getting shot, I care about Felix being in an oxygen tent, and I helped make these things happen.
No, you didn't.
Harry knows I was corrupting the drive.
Harry Barton is out of the frame.
Felix will confirm it anyway.
No, she won't.
There's no evidence.
It's been seen to.
It is all you.
You expect me to trust you but you won't tell me anything.
How can I? When the little you know causes you such problems.
Don't patronise me.
Difficult decisions have to be made, whatever the cost.
Don't give me that end justifies the means crap.
It's not crap, it's an unpalatable truth.
One I thought you'd grasped.
Oh, Stella.
My I'm not your Stella.
Not any more.
I need you to keep your nerve, Stella.
If Boyd knew about all this, he'd understand if I could just give him the full picture.
So why don't you? I'm going to Boyd.
Fine.
What will he do when he finds out he's got a spy in his own household? Thank you, DC Goodman, that's very helpful.
HE GROANS WITH PAIN Take it easy.
It's going to take a while for you to recover.
TOILET FLUSHES DOOR CLOSES Are you spying on me, Grace? "Thanks for your help, DC Goodman.
" How long have you known Drake? I've looked in your CV.
You've never worked with him.
My father worked for him at East Docks Station.
Well, you see, I didn't even know your father was a police officer.
He was killed the year I was born, when he was called to a domestic disturbance.
And Drake? Bill Drake was my legal guardian.
MOBILE RINGS After my father died, my mother had no income.
Her English was terrible .
.
and Bill Drake came to our rescue.
He saw that we got something from every police charity.
When we moved back to France, he put down the deposit for our mortgage.
And now? When I moved back to England I lodged with them while I figured out what to do.
And did he help you there as well? My mother was so against me joining the police.
I'd never have had the guts to go through with it without his support.
So he's been like a second father to you? I suppose so.
And now is he using that to his advantage? Stella? He told me it's in the public interest that Clifford Day never steps inside a courtroom.
God! Did he say why? No.
But you went ahead and did it anyway? I tr trusted him.
Explain that to Felix.
I'm sorry.
You should be.
Will you tell Boyd? No.
You will.
How are you feeling? I've got the mother of all hangovers.
So what have they told you? Well, the first tests suggest the package only contained a fluorinated hydrocarbon agent.
Is that good or? Well, basically it's a turbocharged anaesthetic.
Looks like they just wanted to give Spencer a scare.
DOOR OPENS Sir? Yeah? I said to Bill that we might be looking at Cherry Tree Farm.
He said the foreign blood wasn't the killer's but someone who'd done a lot of covert work for the police and, er could I help him remove the evidence.
And that was enough for you to betray us? I didn't see it like that then.
Bill said this man's I don't want to talk about him, I want to talk about you.
I know.
I have no excuse but that I trusted him.
Even when he asked you to destroy evidence? Yeah.
I had no reason not to believe him.
He was like a father to me.
The history of what he was to you is irrelevant to me, right? You have every reason not to trust me and ask me to walk out the door.
But I don't want to give up working for you.
I'm sorry I let you down.
I hope you get the opportunity to say that to Spencer Jordan.
And that you don't become responsible for his death.
Come round here and pretend to look at the computer.
Come on.
Does Drake know where Spencer is? I don't know.
What's his relationship with Day apart from having arrested him 26 years ago? I don't know.
We've got to find out.
Are you prepared to help us? Yes.
KNOCK AT DOOR Sorry, sir, I need a log-in code for Spencer Jordan's PC.
Why? He was the target of an attack, sir.
We need to know why.
The SWAT team should be there any minute, sir.
Should be where? When Jordan called in, we got a grid reference.
Did Commander Drake not tell you? Yeah, yeah.
I just didn't realise they'd get there so fast.
Where is it they're going? I've Jerwood Lane Industrial Estate.
TW17.
Ah, right.
There's nothing wrong with me You must stay in the building.
I just need to go now.
I need to go out.
THEY ARGUE There is no chance.
I need to go out! Calm down.
Calm down.
I just I just need to go.
Calm down.
I AM calm.
I need your help.
'Where is he?' Day's not by himself.
Spencer Jordan has gone to arrest him.
Now, I know you two go way back.
Just tell me where they are.
'Brady's warehouse, Jerwood Industrial Estate, TW17.
' I'm sorry, sir.
No-one's allowed to leave yet.
You need to go back inside.
Where were you going, Peter? You promised to send out a SWAT team.
It's been taken care of.
Call for a status update.
If there's any news, they'll let me know.
You can't make this go away.
Felix Gibson, the fire at Central Lab, Cherry Tree Farm.
What's your point, Boyd? Clifford Day was working for you, you arrested him in the '70s for illegal bugging.
And? We found his blood at the Farm.
Toby Holmes didn't kill Marcus or Jackie, I think Clifford Day did but I don't understand why you covered up for him.
You're nowhere near it, Boyd.
Clifford Day never killed anyone.
His blood was at the scene.
Or are you telling me that he wasn't there? Yes, he was there.
What, you've never requested a listening device? A not so kosher listening device.
Now, let me guess.
You phone up Special Branch and ask for their help.
They say, "We'll see what we can do".
But who do you think they phone? Did you really believe that a Special Branch officer with a career, two children and a mortgage was going to break into private property, risk everything and plant an illegal bug just to help you with your investigation? So why are you trying to kill him now? Because if he blabs, all the scum that he has helped put away are going to walk.
Is that what you want? It's not because he knows what happened at Cherry Tree Farm? Because if he wasn't responsible for the deaths who was? Toby Holmes said he went to Cherry Tree Farm on the night of the murders around 11.
30 and saw the bodies.
Right.
He insists that Jackie Holmes's face was intact.
OK.
Well, there's no doubt that Jackie Holmes was killed before her face was cut.
What about the difference in time between the two events? Is it in the path report? Not specifically, no, so I assumed it was seconds or minutes.
Oh But I can look at the stills and the report, see if there's anything that supports the facial injuries being significantly post-mortem.
Thank you.
That would be great.
Thanks.
Do you know how long it took me to become who I am? The time it took for a jury to say "not guilty" about a man I knew to be as guilty as sin.
A dangerously evil man.
God bless the liberal justice system.
How many times have you seen that, Boyd? How many times have you had the desire to destroy them, a desire so overwhelming that sometimes you'd think you were going to be consumed by the fire of it? Well, once was enough for me.
Let me tell you something.
There's no sensation like it, when you look into the eyes of your enemy and you watch them realise that you will do anything.
You play by their rules and watch them slowly realise they're finished.
It's what I do.
It's what I'm good at.
And now the front line's here, our city.
That's all I have.
There's no wife, no rose-covered cottage.
You've been commended for it.
Your record is exemplary.
Don't you play me, Boyd.
I've sacrificed everything for this.
You try telling that to Jackie and Marcus.
They worked against the interests of this country.
I had to stop them.
What about the WPC who was killed in the Central Lab fire? It was an accident.
Collateral damage? Stuff happens.
Try explaining that to her son.
Don't get sentimental, Boyd.
If I break the bones of a terrorist and stop 50 people from being blown apart, are you going to sit there and tell me I'm wrong? No.
Or is it only wrong if the man turns out to be innocent? Well, someone's got to be there.
Someone has got to make that decision.
It's not about saving lives, we stand for something.
We have a moral, ethical position.
What's that, truth, justice, the rule of law? Bollocks! We do the best we can.
Sending Toby Holmes to rot in jail for 18 years?! I sleep at night.
The man was innocent and now he's in a hospital for the criminally insane.
And what about Stella? She trusted you and you betrayed her.
She has nothing to do with this.
She has everything to do with this.
And she'll testify to that.
She will never testify.
Even if it means jail.
Unless you kill her.
You could do that.
You promised her family that you would look after her.
Instead you've put her through hell.
What would her father think now? You've made her the guilty party.
She broke the law for you and now she will suffer because of you.
What are you going to do about that? What can I do? I will do everything in my power to make sure that no action is taken against Stella.
If you promise to help me find Spencer Jordan.
I'm waiving security protocol for Detective Superintendent Boyd.
He's now under my personal protection.
Sir.
OK.
As we know, Jackie Holmes had her neck broken like Marcus Coulter.
And the mutilation to her neck and face was posthumous.
The original pathologist suggests it was minutes later.
I'm not sure.
You mean it could have been longer? Hmm.
Yeah, there's subtle sparring and mottling on her back.
What's sparring? It's where the protruding parts of the body are pressed up against a hard surface, like a floor, and the blood is pushed out from under the skin creating the lighter patches.
See here.
So? So, in order for this to happen, the body would have to have been lying there for at least two hours.
So, Toby Holmes could be telling the truth? Felix Sorry.
No.
Come in.
I thought I was I thought I was doing the right thing.
I didn't want Sorry.
Trite as that sounds.
Yeah, you're right.
It does sound trite.
OK, so After the Shut Down Dunwell meeting, Penny Coulter rings Clifford Day to give him a report.
Now that would've included the highlight of the evening.
Toby Holmes calling his wife a slut and breaking his restraining order? Oh, my God! What? My father.
Stella, I had no idea your father was the policeman who was killed in the Mal Isaacs case.
We've been using the case because of the similarity of the facial injuries.
He also cut off his wife's face to make a point.
I'm sorry, we just didn't make the connection.
Isaacs was arrested on suspicion of your father's murder and the maiming of his wife.
He was interviewed by Detective Sergeant Tom McQueen.
Spence? Spence! It's Tom.
Spence! Tom what are you doing here? Did Boyd call you? Yeah, that's right.
He said you were in trouble.
Am I glad to see you.
There's a gunman here somewhere.
No kidding.
You got a phone? I'm shot.
No reception.
Check again.
Nope.
Not even a bar.
How could you do it? What, Jackie Holmes? Yeah.
Clifford's been gassing, has he? I thought he might.
She was dead.
What difference did it make? I needed some clever shrink to look at her and say "the husband did that".
Worked a treat.
I didn't really know you at all, did I? Course you did.
You just chose not to look.
You know I've got to do this, don't you? McQueen! Leave him! Going soft in your old age, are you, Bill? Put the gun down.
Day's told him everything.
Put it down, Tom.
It's all over.
I'm not going down, Bill.
Whatever happens, I'm not going down.
Come on, lad, give me the gun.
Don't call me lad.
McQueen! Hang in there, Spence.
Hang in there.
You're OK.
HE DIALS Come on.
Come on.
'Hello, what service do you require?' I need an ambulance, now.
BBC Broadcast 2005
.
.
This doesn't mean Holmes is innocent.
I just want the truth to come out.
Forget the DNA, we found his shirt soaked in his wife's blood.
No, you didn't, Spence.
At three o'clock this morning, your access card was used to gain entry to the evidence room.
I don't believe Spence has got anything to do with this.
The blood trace from Cherry Tree Farm was destroyed in the fire.
Tom McQueen? Would he be worried if any new evidence came to light? They already had a mole so they wanted me to set up an anti-Dunwell group and cross-contaminate.
While you were spying on them you saw who actually killed them.
Right? Somebody's trying to corrupt this.
Felix has got a match on the Cherry Tree Farm DNA.
It's a Clifford Day, 50-years-old.
I'll pick him up now.
This programme contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.
We need to contain you in here for the moment.
I want to know how Felix Gibson is.
She's stable, sir.
Anything else? That's all we know, Doctor.
I'll leave you in here but you will be locked in.
Why? You are categorised as contaminated.
We won't let you out until we get the all-clear.
That's nice to know, isn't it? What if we want to pee? BEEPING 'Yes?' Council.
Mr Clifford Day? Yep.
DI Jordan, Cold Case Squad.
I'm arresting you for the murders of Marcus Coulter and Jackie Holmes.
I just want to know how Felix Gibson is, please.
Bastards! You'd think they'd give you some incontinence pads with these.
Does this look red to you? No, it's fine.
Spence? Spence? 'Hello?' Can you hear me? Yeah.
I'm bringing him home.
No, there's no point.
There's been an explosion in the squad room.
You can't get in or out of the building.
What? It was a package that was sent to you.
A package? In a brown envelope? GUNSHOT Aaargh! SECOND GUNSHOT Spence? Spence? What? What's happened? I think I heard a gunshot.
HE RAPS ON DOOR Hello! Come on! Come on, move! Hello! Open up! I've got a car.
Where? Down there.
Come on.
Let's go.
Get up! Get up! Move! Through the gates! What have I done? HE COUGHS LOUDLY I can't breathe.
Hang in there.
Come on.
Hold on.
Come on.
In you get.
TYRES SQUEAL PHONE RINGS 'It just keeps ringing.
' Sir, I'm afraid I'm going to have to take your phone.
We've got an officer down.
You have to get help.
Wait a minute.
Who's in charge here? Commander Drake is on his way.
Drake? You have an officer in trouble? Yes.
What about Felix Gibson? I can't get anybody's attention here.
I believe she's hanging on, sir.
I really don't know.
Please, I need your phone.
Why do you need this? Because they can be used as detonators without user knowledge or consent.
You're not having my phone.
Boyd! You're NO T having my phone! You've got a phone, he's got a phone, you're not having my phone until you get me a landline in here.
THEY ARGUE Boys, for God's sake.
Thank you, sir.
OK.
And don't you talk to me about my team.
About keeping calm.
Yes.
Why didn't you tell him about Spence? What are the Anti-Terrorist Operations doing here? A bomb's gone off! What are they doing in the building? For God's sake, Boyd, stop being paranoid.
We're being followed.
It's the black SUV.
This is Detective Superintendent Boyd, warrant number 176401.
I want to report an incident and require back-up for a police officer who is under attack.
Yeah.
Shots have been fired and the officer is down.
OK? It's at the residence of Clifford Day.
Hounslow.
That's all I know.
You can check it out, can't you? And this requires a tactical firearms unit, all right? Do NO T just send a patrol car.
'If any of you experience any difficulties breathing 'or notice unusual markings on your skin, please notify me immediately.
' Thank you.
176401, yes.
OK.
Tell me about Spence.
You don't think I'm being paranoid.
We've got the Anti-Terrorist Operations turn up, Drake heads them.
the Atomic Energy Constabulary.
He ran informers and agents.
Clifford Day worked for him.
His blood turns up at Cherry Tree Farm.
McQueen worked for the AEC.
He was the arresting officer.
They are all here.
What do you think? You're not paranoid.
Thank you.
They're still behind us.
CAR HORN, TYRES SQUEAL The engine's going.
What? I must have been hit.
Come on! Oh, God! Come on! Get up! PHONE RINGS Tom McQueen? Yeah.
This is Detective Superintendent Boyd.
Hello? Yeah.
I'm still here.
Yeah.
OK.
OK.
Look Spencer went to apprehend a suspect this afternoon and I'm afraid he's got himself into some trouble.
What kind of trouble? I don't know.
I'm not in a position to find out.
Right.
What's the address? Oh, God! I can't.
I can't.
I can't walk any more.
I can't.
Commander Drake? Yes.
Lucy Johnson, Paramedic Silver.
Good morning.
How far have we got with diagnosing the chemical agent? Samples haven't revealed any harmful bacteria, living or dead.
Ricin? Ricin-binding antibody tests were negative, we're testing for VX, phosgene and sarin.
And the, er, the air safe to breathe? The mobile team are testing five canisters but that'll take time.
And the other officers? Initial tests haven't given us anything.
Still waiting for blood tests but we can't gauge a meaningful presenting time.
I need to conduct some interviews.
Is there anywhere that hasn't been contaminated? The laboratory has an airlock so there's a negative pressure.
Sir, I would urge you to stay out of the building until we have the all-clear.
I haven't got time.
May I suggest you conduct your interviews by phone? No, I need to speak to these people face to face.
I think he's gone.
Who's trying to kill you? I don't know.
Bollocks! I could walk out of here right now.
Why don't you then? Because I want some answers.
Lean forward.
Get in touch with my lawyer.
Lean forward.
HE WHIMPERS Quiet, I'm gonna save your life.
OK.
Lean back.
This is about Cherry Tree Farm, isn't it? What? Isn't it? There's something I don't understand, Stella.
What? You know you helped us with the hard drive? Yeah.
After you left, we printed off the command history.
And? Well, for someone who says they know a lot about computers you do realise you were going down the route of deletion? Oh, yeah.
I was distracted.
Boyd came in.
I had to rush.
Sure.
There would have been on-screen warnings about this.
Just, it looks like you were trying to corrupt it.
That's not true.
You got data from it, didn't you? It looks like it but you're not sure about it? No, I'm sure.
I'm sure.
Why would I destroy evidence? Why would he make something like this up? Exactly.
He's obviously confused.
No.
He doesn't sound confused.
He's gonna get into trouble for bringing the hard drive from the Central Lab fire.
So? So maybe he's spreading blame.
Oh, how does him accusing you spread the blame? I don't I was trying to help.
Right, so there's nothing in it? Nothing.
OK.
I'm Commander Drake.
What's her condition? We need to get her to hospital, sir, there's a limit to what we can do.
No hospital will take her until we know what's contaminated her.
You'll just have to do the best you can.
Any equipment you need, just ask.
Thank you, sir.
Sir, you need to see this.
What is it? This hard drive was illegally removed from the Central Lab crime scene.
By who? Dr Harry Barton.
He's in the interview room with the others.
What are you doing? Find a phone.
Get a move on.
I'm dying here.
Any change of condition, let me know.
Excuse me.
Can I take this off now, or do you want me to keep it on? Yes, take it off.
Commander Drake.
Peter Boyd.
How is Felix? Well, we're doing everything we can for her.
Meaning? Meaning we don't know what she's been contaminated with, therefore we just have to be patient.
I know how hard that can be.
Let's go in here.
Stella what Harry said No.
OK.
Stop looking at me like that.
Just need your scrawl on this.
I don't have my glasses with me.
Sorry.
In your own time.
It's just that ATO's jurisdiction does not extend beyond the contaminated package and locating the people responsible.
I didn't imagine it would.
Well, you'll still have overall operational command.
But, under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, my authority supersedes yours if there's a conflict of interest.
To put it simply, Peter, if this was my place, I too would be truly pissed off, so let's try to get along, eh? And catch the bastards responsible.
Sounds like a plan.
Good.
Now this package, er it was addressed to Spencer Jordan.
Mmm-hmm.
Where is he? I don't know.
Is it normal for you not to know where your officers are? It is if it's their birthday and they have the afternoon off.
Ah, birthdays.
Tell me, has, er has anything out of the ordinary happened in the last 24 hours? You mean apart from the chemical attack? Yes, apart from that.
No.
That was a test of your co-operation, Peter.
I'm sorry to say you failed.
What the hell are you doing? Looking for a phone.
Let me save you the trouble.
They're all out.
No, no, listen, no.
I was a GPO engineer.
I can fix things.
I have just placed Harry Barton in custody for removing evidence from a crime scene.
Now he tells me that somebody attempted an unauthorised entry into your evidence room at three o'clock this morning.
Mmm, that is right.
Yes.
And that the main suspect was Spencer Jordan, as it was his access card.
Access cards can be faked or manipulated if you have an overriding code.
Is there any reason at all why one should believe these implausible explanations? Yes.
I trust Spencer Jordan.
Even though you heard only two hours later that another forensic lab was burned down, just 20 miles away? Tell me, the evidence boxes, had they been tampered with, opened? Just the one.
Cherry Tree Farm.
Cherry Tree Farm? Wasn't Spencer Jordan the arresting officer in that case? Uh-huh.
Where is he now? I've already told you.
I, er Stop covering up for him, Peter.
I'm not.
Honestly.
I don't know.
OK.
OK.
Is there a phone socket? Get the top off.
We need the top off this.
Hang in there.
Drag the top off.
We need the frame box, over there.
OK.
Come on.
You can do it.
You can do it.
You all right? Yeah, leave that there.
The Book of Job.
Any thoughts? I need your input in this.
Well, give me my freedom to manoeuvre and access to my normal communications All right.
Yes.
OK.
You can have that.
Thank you.
My officers want access to every case file that Spencer Jordan has worked on in the last two years.
No problem.
Well, that's good, good.
PHONE RINGS Drake.
Oh, that's great.
That's great.
Thank you.
Good news.
It appears that the substance used was essentially benign.
Benign? Well, I haven't been briefed entirely by my chem team but they assure me that they think Dr Gibson will pull through.
And will they tell Dr Foley and DS Goodman? As we speak.
Good.
Thank you.
So you are free to move around, only I would ask that you and your team stay within the building until we sort this mess out.
This could be part of something much bigger.
We don't know.
Could be just a diversion.
The safest place to be is here.
I understand.
We both know you should have called the cavalry about Spencer Jordan.
My guess is you wanted to have it out with him man to man.
Yeah, I'm going to talk to him.
Can you give me assurance now of your full co-operation? Of course.
DOOR OPENS Good news.
There's no present threat on the chemical agent.
Oh, great.
What do you mean exactly? No idea.
Commander Drake will fill you in later.
We've organised some clothes for you.
Oh, great.
Thank you.
PHONE RINGS Yeah? Yeah, Boyd, it's McQueen.
So what's happening? Yeah, I'm at Clifford Day's block along with half the police and paramedics in West London.
'I spoke to a neighbour who said there'd been a shooting.
' Is Spencer involved? Somebody was shot, that's all I know.
If I get any more, I'll call you on this number.
Yeah, please.
Thanks.
Got it? Yeah.
Has he gone? Well, maybe he wants us to think he has.
Let's get out of here.
No, not yet.
We've got to get out, man, I've had it.
I need help.
You'll get help when we fix the phone, OK? Hi.
Hi.
Any news of Spence? No.
He's not answering his mobile.
I'm sure he can look after himself.
They've been through everything in here.
I've got a report on Clifford Day.
Want to hear it? Yeah.
Go on.
Early '70s, telecommunications engineer with the GPO.
'77 accessory to murder but case dismissed.
'79 conspiracy under the Data Protection Act, bugging offices of the Anti Nazi League.
And the arresting officer, CI William Drake.
That's great.
We've got a connection on court record.
Yes, Drake argued leniency, quote, ".
.
was thought to have been manipulated by racists "keen to exploit his undoubted prowess in electronics and surveillance".
We know from McQueen that Drake was into that.
Yes, but how do you go from surveillance to double murder and mutilation? No idea, but Drake must have used Day to run Penny Coulter.
Drake knows that if Day finds out we're re-opening the investigation, he's going to start bargaining, so he's going to get hold of Day and get rid of him before he squeals.
So poor old Spence was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Yeah.
This end.
This one? Yeah.
OK.
Anything? Nothing.
Try again.
DIAL TONE Yeah.
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on, come on, come on! 'Hello? Cold Case Unit.
' DI Jordan.
Get Boyd now, quick! PHONE RINGS Commander Drake, ATO.
Sir, it's Spencer Jordan.
Spencer? 'Sir, I have a serious problem.
'I arrested a murder suspect in TW17 but was ambushed by a gunman.
' We're holed up in an industrial estate, I don't know where.
We're routing your call through the emergency service database.
It should throw us up an address.
Sir, please hurry, the man is armed and my witness is seriously injured.
Hang in there, Spence, we're on it.
OK.
Thank you.
Got a fix on their location, Brady's Warehouse, Jerwood Lane Industrial Estate, TW17.
Shall I bounce it to Emergency Services? No.
There's a gunman.
I want an ATO tactical squad.
You want me to initiate that? No, I'll do it.
You get into Spencer's PC.
I want to see what case he's been working on.
Yes, sir.
Where are you? 'I left the party before the police came.
' Look, I told you.
There aren't any police.
Jordan's call came through here to me.
OK, I'm sending the exact location e- mail to your PDA.
It's Brady's Warehouse, ground floor, north side.
Now just get on with it.
No excuses.
Call me when it's done.
You know when I close my eyes at night I still see Jackie Holmes' face.
Me and my partner were the first to arrive on the scene.
I was a kid.
I wasn't ready for what I saw in there.
We found your DNA at Cherry Tree Farm.
Your blood was at Cherry Tree Farm.
Did you kill Jackie Holmes and Marcus Coulter? No! Christ, no! So why was your blood at the scene? There'd been a Shut Down Dunwell meeting .
.
and my lords and masters wanted a recording of Marcus and Jackie's post-match analysis.
I'd taped the murders, Toby Holmes making his wife beg for mercy.
But there was no warrant for the bugs so I had to get them out of there before the regular plods found them.
So you went back? Yeah.
One of my devices was in the light fixture they'd strung her up to.
So I had to climb up there and remove it.
With that in my face.
I snagged my thumb on the wire that he'd tied her up with, that's how my blood got there.
Where's the recording of the murders? I handed it to my MI5 contact.
Is that what paid for your merchant banker's pad? I earned my money more than any merchant banker.
We sent more criminals down in a year than you will in your whole career.
So just you pay me some respect and get me out of here.
We? What? You said, "we sent down more criminals".
I had a mate who got me in and out.
And took care of unexpected interruptions? Why don't I hear any sirens? No, no, no.
Let me get this straight.
Jackie and Marcus left the meeting early because she was upset after her husband turned up.
You couldn't have planned for that.
You weren't expecting that, were you? I told you what happened.
I don't think you were taking bugs out.
I think you were putting them in.
Jackie and Marcus turned up early and surprised you.
Your mate panicked and killed them.
That's what really happened, wasn't it? Wasn't it? What's his name? Forget it.
Do you want me to walk out of here? Hmm? Because if I do, you're a dead man.
Either that guy out there's going to get you or you'll bleed to death.
Now you tell me his name.
McQueen.
Yeah, Tom McQueen.
Your old partner.
He killed them, cut her face off.
Happy now? You're saying that Tom killed them? That's what you're saying? That's what I'm saying.
Why? Where's the bloody ambulance? Why? You were right.
They came home early and caught us.
There was no way Tom was gonna kiss his career goodbye.
And Jackie Holmes's face? To frame the husband.
I heard he'd called her a slut.
Tom said it was too good an opportunity to pass up and we should go back.
GUNSHOT Argh! TWO GUNSHOTS Can I speak to you, Commander? Yes, of course.
This is all you, isn't it? What do you mean? Felix, Spence, the fire at Central Lab.
It's all you.
I don't give a toss about national security or my bloody career, I care about Spencer getting shot, I care about Felix being in an oxygen tent, and I helped make these things happen.
No, you didn't.
Harry knows I was corrupting the drive.
Harry Barton is out of the frame.
Felix will confirm it anyway.
No, she won't.
There's no evidence.
It's been seen to.
It is all you.
You expect me to trust you but you won't tell me anything.
How can I? When the little you know causes you such problems.
Don't patronise me.
Difficult decisions have to be made, whatever the cost.
Don't give me that end justifies the means crap.
It's not crap, it's an unpalatable truth.
One I thought you'd grasped.
Oh, Stella.
My I'm not your Stella.
Not any more.
I need you to keep your nerve, Stella.
If Boyd knew about all this, he'd understand if I could just give him the full picture.
So why don't you? I'm going to Boyd.
Fine.
What will he do when he finds out he's got a spy in his own household? Thank you, DC Goodman, that's very helpful.
HE GROANS WITH PAIN Take it easy.
It's going to take a while for you to recover.
TOILET FLUSHES DOOR CLOSES Are you spying on me, Grace? "Thanks for your help, DC Goodman.
" How long have you known Drake? I've looked in your CV.
You've never worked with him.
My father worked for him at East Docks Station.
Well, you see, I didn't even know your father was a police officer.
He was killed the year I was born, when he was called to a domestic disturbance.
And Drake? Bill Drake was my legal guardian.
MOBILE RINGS After my father died, my mother had no income.
Her English was terrible .
.
and Bill Drake came to our rescue.
He saw that we got something from every police charity.
When we moved back to France, he put down the deposit for our mortgage.
And now? When I moved back to England I lodged with them while I figured out what to do.
And did he help you there as well? My mother was so against me joining the police.
I'd never have had the guts to go through with it without his support.
So he's been like a second father to you? I suppose so.
And now is he using that to his advantage? Stella? He told me it's in the public interest that Clifford Day never steps inside a courtroom.
God! Did he say why? No.
But you went ahead and did it anyway? I tr trusted him.
Explain that to Felix.
I'm sorry.
You should be.
Will you tell Boyd? No.
You will.
How are you feeling? I've got the mother of all hangovers.
So what have they told you? Well, the first tests suggest the package only contained a fluorinated hydrocarbon agent.
Is that good or? Well, basically it's a turbocharged anaesthetic.
Looks like they just wanted to give Spencer a scare.
DOOR OPENS Sir? Yeah? I said to Bill that we might be looking at Cherry Tree Farm.
He said the foreign blood wasn't the killer's but someone who'd done a lot of covert work for the police and, er could I help him remove the evidence.
And that was enough for you to betray us? I didn't see it like that then.
Bill said this man's I don't want to talk about him, I want to talk about you.
I know.
I have no excuse but that I trusted him.
Even when he asked you to destroy evidence? Yeah.
I had no reason not to believe him.
He was like a father to me.
The history of what he was to you is irrelevant to me, right? You have every reason not to trust me and ask me to walk out the door.
But I don't want to give up working for you.
I'm sorry I let you down.
I hope you get the opportunity to say that to Spencer Jordan.
And that you don't become responsible for his death.
Come round here and pretend to look at the computer.
Come on.
Does Drake know where Spencer is? I don't know.
What's his relationship with Day apart from having arrested him 26 years ago? I don't know.
We've got to find out.
Are you prepared to help us? Yes.
KNOCK AT DOOR Sorry, sir, I need a log-in code for Spencer Jordan's PC.
Why? He was the target of an attack, sir.
We need to know why.
The SWAT team should be there any minute, sir.
Should be where? When Jordan called in, we got a grid reference.
Did Commander Drake not tell you? Yeah, yeah.
I just didn't realise they'd get there so fast.
Where is it they're going? I've Jerwood Lane Industrial Estate.
TW17.
Ah, right.
There's nothing wrong with me You must stay in the building.
I just need to go now.
I need to go out.
THEY ARGUE There is no chance.
I need to go out! Calm down.
Calm down.
I just I just need to go.
Calm down.
I AM calm.
I need your help.
'Where is he?' Day's not by himself.
Spencer Jordan has gone to arrest him.
Now, I know you two go way back.
Just tell me where they are.
'Brady's warehouse, Jerwood Industrial Estate, TW17.
' I'm sorry, sir.
No-one's allowed to leave yet.
You need to go back inside.
Where were you going, Peter? You promised to send out a SWAT team.
It's been taken care of.
Call for a status update.
If there's any news, they'll let me know.
You can't make this go away.
Felix Gibson, the fire at Central Lab, Cherry Tree Farm.
What's your point, Boyd? Clifford Day was working for you, you arrested him in the '70s for illegal bugging.
And? We found his blood at the Farm.
Toby Holmes didn't kill Marcus or Jackie, I think Clifford Day did but I don't understand why you covered up for him.
You're nowhere near it, Boyd.
Clifford Day never killed anyone.
His blood was at the scene.
Or are you telling me that he wasn't there? Yes, he was there.
What, you've never requested a listening device? A not so kosher listening device.
Now, let me guess.
You phone up Special Branch and ask for their help.
They say, "We'll see what we can do".
But who do you think they phone? Did you really believe that a Special Branch officer with a career, two children and a mortgage was going to break into private property, risk everything and plant an illegal bug just to help you with your investigation? So why are you trying to kill him now? Because if he blabs, all the scum that he has helped put away are going to walk.
Is that what you want? It's not because he knows what happened at Cherry Tree Farm? Because if he wasn't responsible for the deaths who was? Toby Holmes said he went to Cherry Tree Farm on the night of the murders around 11.
30 and saw the bodies.
Right.
He insists that Jackie Holmes's face was intact.
OK.
Well, there's no doubt that Jackie Holmes was killed before her face was cut.
What about the difference in time between the two events? Is it in the path report? Not specifically, no, so I assumed it was seconds or minutes.
Oh But I can look at the stills and the report, see if there's anything that supports the facial injuries being significantly post-mortem.
Thank you.
That would be great.
Thanks.
Do you know how long it took me to become who I am? The time it took for a jury to say "not guilty" about a man I knew to be as guilty as sin.
A dangerously evil man.
God bless the liberal justice system.
How many times have you seen that, Boyd? How many times have you had the desire to destroy them, a desire so overwhelming that sometimes you'd think you were going to be consumed by the fire of it? Well, once was enough for me.
Let me tell you something.
There's no sensation like it, when you look into the eyes of your enemy and you watch them realise that you will do anything.
You play by their rules and watch them slowly realise they're finished.
It's what I do.
It's what I'm good at.
And now the front line's here, our city.
That's all I have.
There's no wife, no rose-covered cottage.
You've been commended for it.
Your record is exemplary.
Don't you play me, Boyd.
I've sacrificed everything for this.
You try telling that to Jackie and Marcus.
They worked against the interests of this country.
I had to stop them.
What about the WPC who was killed in the Central Lab fire? It was an accident.
Collateral damage? Stuff happens.
Try explaining that to her son.
Don't get sentimental, Boyd.
If I break the bones of a terrorist and stop 50 people from being blown apart, are you going to sit there and tell me I'm wrong? No.
Or is it only wrong if the man turns out to be innocent? Well, someone's got to be there.
Someone has got to make that decision.
It's not about saving lives, we stand for something.
We have a moral, ethical position.
What's that, truth, justice, the rule of law? Bollocks! We do the best we can.
Sending Toby Holmes to rot in jail for 18 years?! I sleep at night.
The man was innocent and now he's in a hospital for the criminally insane.
And what about Stella? She trusted you and you betrayed her.
She has nothing to do with this.
She has everything to do with this.
And she'll testify to that.
She will never testify.
Even if it means jail.
Unless you kill her.
You could do that.
You promised her family that you would look after her.
Instead you've put her through hell.
What would her father think now? You've made her the guilty party.
She broke the law for you and now she will suffer because of you.
What are you going to do about that? What can I do? I will do everything in my power to make sure that no action is taken against Stella.
If you promise to help me find Spencer Jordan.
I'm waiving security protocol for Detective Superintendent Boyd.
He's now under my personal protection.
Sir.
OK.
As we know, Jackie Holmes had her neck broken like Marcus Coulter.
And the mutilation to her neck and face was posthumous.
The original pathologist suggests it was minutes later.
I'm not sure.
You mean it could have been longer? Hmm.
Yeah, there's subtle sparring and mottling on her back.
What's sparring? It's where the protruding parts of the body are pressed up against a hard surface, like a floor, and the blood is pushed out from under the skin creating the lighter patches.
See here.
So? So, in order for this to happen, the body would have to have been lying there for at least two hours.
So, Toby Holmes could be telling the truth? Felix Sorry.
No.
Come in.
I thought I was I thought I was doing the right thing.
I didn't want Sorry.
Trite as that sounds.
Yeah, you're right.
It does sound trite.
OK, so After the Shut Down Dunwell meeting, Penny Coulter rings Clifford Day to give him a report.
Now that would've included the highlight of the evening.
Toby Holmes calling his wife a slut and breaking his restraining order? Oh, my God! What? My father.
Stella, I had no idea your father was the policeman who was killed in the Mal Isaacs case.
We've been using the case because of the similarity of the facial injuries.
He also cut off his wife's face to make a point.
I'm sorry, we just didn't make the connection.
Isaacs was arrested on suspicion of your father's murder and the maiming of his wife.
He was interviewed by Detective Sergeant Tom McQueen.
Spence? Spence! It's Tom.
Spence! Tom what are you doing here? Did Boyd call you? Yeah, that's right.
He said you were in trouble.
Am I glad to see you.
There's a gunman here somewhere.
No kidding.
You got a phone? I'm shot.
No reception.
Check again.
Nope.
Not even a bar.
How could you do it? What, Jackie Holmes? Yeah.
Clifford's been gassing, has he? I thought he might.
She was dead.
What difference did it make? I needed some clever shrink to look at her and say "the husband did that".
Worked a treat.
I didn't really know you at all, did I? Course you did.
You just chose not to look.
You know I've got to do this, don't you? McQueen! Leave him! Going soft in your old age, are you, Bill? Put the gun down.
Day's told him everything.
Put it down, Tom.
It's all over.
I'm not going down, Bill.
Whatever happens, I'm not going down.
Come on, lad, give me the gun.
Don't call me lad.
McQueen! Hang in there, Spence.
Hang in there.
You're OK.
HE DIALS Come on.
Come on.
'Hello, what service do you require?' I need an ambulance, now.
