Mr. Morton?
Mr. Morton?
[ Door closes ]
[ Cat meows ]
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
These are the guys that found him.
Say he´s called Dominic Morton. Convicted ***.
And someone´s castrated him.
That´s nice.
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
-Morning, gov. -Morning, Jim.
We´re up here.
Apparently word got out that he was a ***.
There was a mob here yesterday, baying for his blood.
Uniform hauled him out for his own safety.
Idiot must have come back.
He´s only got himself to blame, then, hasn´t he?
Was he killed here?
Yeah.
Several blows to the back of the head.
Then severely mutilated in the genital area.
Was he alive when...
From the amount of blood, yeah, John says he was.
But from the head injuries,
doubts whether he´d still have been conscious.
Shame.
I´d like to leave the body in situ
for as long as possible, if that´s all right.
He was definitely attacked in this room,
so the more I can find out...
Yeah, sure.
He might have been holding the phone.
I´ve just found it under here.
Or he could have been bent down looking for it.
True.
John, have you got a time of death?
Not an accurate one yet, no
Guessing sometime in the last 12, 15 hours.
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
And it looks like his right knee was dislocated.
That´s consistent with a fall.
So I´d say he was standing when he was struck,
falls, bangs onto his knees.
Then the blood patterns suggest
he was struck again several times
whilst lying facedown here.
Yeah. Then rolled over.
-And then... -Yeah.
Yeah. Well, you know the rest.
We found this.
It´s DNA soup in here,
amount of people that have traipsed in and out.
Including the officers.
They found a shard of glass. They think it´s from a torch.
Morton could have got struck by it.
Jim says there´s not a single roll of film
in any of Morton´s cameras.
So someone´s removed them?
Dominic Morton. 37, a photographer.
Single, no kids.
-What about his parents? -Dead.
That´s an awkward conversation we won´t have to have.
PURVIS: He was convicted for gross indecency with a girl,
Phoebe Creswell, age nine.
He served two years.
How hard do you really want us to work on this?
Apart from finding out who did it and buying them a drink?
Who else would like to go back on the beat?
This is to be treated like any other case.
I find anyone dragging their heels, they´re out.
Dominic Morton was found upstairs.
There´s no sign of a struggle.
Now, the mutilation suggests that the killer, or killers,
knew that he was a ***.
But that´s by no means a given.
Now, the nature of the injuries indicate
that the killer would have got blood on his clothes,
so I want a search around Dominic´s house.
Want to find out more about Morton´s past victims,
his present victims.
The prison psychiatrist flagged him as high risk,
so I want to know how active he´s been since his release.
I want to find out who his cellmates were.
Let´s talk to them.
Morton called the local police at 3:29
to say there were protesters outside his house.
They arrived 51 minutes later.
51 minutes.
-What were the mob doing? -Shouting abuse.
How many?
Think there was about 25 or 30 outside.
Maybe six more inside.
They were inside the house?
Where was Dominic?
Locked in a room upstairs.
The mob had just gained access when we arrived.
Long enough to graffiti the downstairs hallway.
What happened next?
We got them out, waited for backup.
There was one arrest.
We took Morton back here.
But he wasn´t arrested or anything.
I mean, he was free to go.
When did he leave?
8:15.
The duty sergeant offered to go by his house,
pick up some stuff, and take him to the bus station.
Morton refused.
What happened this morning?
Well, the officers swung by to keep an eye on the place,
checked ´round the back, and the door was open.
Okay, we´ll need to get a list of every member of that mob.
HANDS: I´ve spoken to the public protection officers
that were assigned to monitor Dominic´s movements
after his release.
Did they think he was likely to reoffend?
-I got that impression. -Right.
POLSA found a laptop in the loft of Dominic´s house.
Forensic lab say they can make a mirror copy of the hard drive
and send it to us.
-GRANGER: Gov? -Yeah?
Morton´s phone records show three calls made after 8:30.
First two short, but the last for a few minutes.
Who are they to?
The number´s registered to a Peter Taylor, 79 Trafford Way.
He´s not on the sex offenders register, hasn´t got form.
I´ve phoned the number,
got through to a woman´s voice on the answering machine.
Well, Dominic´s calling Peter Taylor about something.
Let´s find out what.
How do you think you´d react?
What do you mean? Would I cut his tackle off?
Who knows?
But I´d have made sure of one thing --
that he was still conscious when I did it.
What? You think I´m joking?
Right. 79 Trafford Way.
Let´s see why Peter Taylor was talking
to a convicted ***.
[ Doorbell rings ]
Mr. Taylor?
HANDS: We´ve got access to Morton´s laptop.
There´s over 2,000 pictures on it.
She must be what, three, four years old?
Gov? Peter Taylor´s not in.
If Taylor´s got anything to do with this,
we should rip his house apart.
No.
Trevor says the pictures on Morton´s laptop -- bad.
Worst they´ve ever seen.
Rosie.
[ Beeps ]
Yeah, Sarge, could you do something for me?
[ Shutter clicks ]
What are you doing?
Morton.
Unless he has a twin.
The man in the photo was identical to Morton.
We showed the photo to the next-door neighbors.
They confirmed that a bloke
matching that description lived next door.
Well, whatever you found,
it still doesn´t excuse what you´ve done.
With respect, gov, you do realize what this means?
Dominic Morton and Peter Taylor could be the same person.
Did the neighbors give you anything else on them?
Just their name. The Taylors.
They said they hadn´t seen the husband for a while
but saw the wife yesterday morning.
It states here that Dominic Morton was single,
had no brothers or sister, and both parents dead.
HANDS: You read about it, though.
Men that lead double lives. Two wives, two sets of kids.
He only got released from prison six weeks ago.
It´s hardly enough time to start a whole new life.
So how do you explain it?
I reckon we should go back and spin the place.
No.
You didn´t have the authority to go in there in the first place.
There´s certainly no justification for a search.
How else do we trace Peter Taylor?
We´ve got no information other than his address.
All right, tomorrow we talk to the public protection officers,
see if they can give us anything else.
In the meantime I want someone outside the Taylors´ house,
see if anyone comes back.
And I want that back door secured.
-I´ve organized it. -Oh, I´m glad to hear it.
You okay?
How are things with Stewart?
Don´t ask.
Yeah, we´re here to see D.C.s Hall and Grant.
-When did you last see Morton? -Friday.
What did you make of him?
Well, he was intelligent.
Just never seemed to express any remorse for what he´d done.
He seemed to be of pretty independent means,
which made him far more difficult to keep tabs on.
You saw his room upstairs. Gamer´s paradise.
Sort of room kids love.
So you think he was active?
We couldn´t prove anything, but we had strong suspicions.
Was Dominic or had Dominic ever been married?
No. You´ve got his file, haven´t you?
We´re trying to trace his connection to a Peter Taylor.
Does that name mean anything to you?
No. Who is he?
No idea.
HALL: To be honest, our main concern with Dominic
was that he relocated so close to his last victim,
Phoebe Creswell.
The family only live about three miles away
from his current address.
Did you talk to them?
No, the Probation Service did.
They got in touch with the Creswells
when they found out Dominic was gonna be living so near them.
So the probation officer, he liaised with the Creswells?
That´s right. We´ve got the correspondence.
Has there been any word from the Taylors´ house?
No one´s shown up yet.
Rosie.
Yeah, I´d like you to visit Phoebe Creswell´s family,
break the news to them that Dominic´s dead.
-See what their reaction is. -Okay.
Any luck?
The guy says there is no 93, never has been.
I swear I wrote it down as 93 Slingsby Avenue.
Barry?
Yeah, Morton´s victim -- Phoebe Creswell.
I´ve written the address down as 93 Slingsby Avenue.
Yeah, well, there is no number 93.
Vivien, the address for Phoebe Creswell´s family
that appears on the Morton file was wrong.
That´s helpful.
This is weird too -- Morton´s bank details.
PPU said he was wealthy --
and certainly had plenty in his current account --
but look at this, look at these dates.
-I don´t understand. -Nor do I.
This account was opened in person about six months ago.
Dominic Morton was still in prison six months ago.
Yes, sir. It´s Dominic Morton.
Earlier in the day he was set upon by a mob.
He was taken into custody for his own safety.
When he was released, he chose to go home
and was killed later on that night.
The night before last.
A vigilante killing?
Or a *** made to look like a vigilante killing.
Why do you say that?
Well, there was no film in any of Morton´s cameras,
and we couldn´t find any negatives either.
But it couldn´t have been the mob
´cause they didn´t get in upstairs,
and that´s where all the camera equipment was.
You´re saying someone removed the film?
It´s a possibility.
Or Dominic destroyed it for some reason.
Suspects?
Rosie´s tracking down the family of his last victim.
We´re trying to identify
the members of the mob from yesterday.
And as of yet, we don´t have any information
on the circles he was moving in.
But Dominic made a few phone calls
to a number that we´ve traced to a Peter Taylor.
-What, a sex offender? -No.
We´ve seen a picture of Peter Taylor.
He looks identical to Dominic Morton.
-[ Knock on door ] -MacMANUS: Sorry.
Wrong house, wrong address.
The Creswells -- We can´t find them.
We tried to get in touch with the probation officer
who was meant to be liaising with them.
Well, the Probation Service have no record
of the woman having worked there.
What?
Is it the same address for the Creswells
listed on the public protection unit´s file?
-Yeah. -Barry?
I´ve checked the electoral rolls,
every variation I can think of.
The spelling of Slingsby, of Creswell,
reversing the house number -- nothing.
So not only does Dominic have a body double,
his victim doesn´t exist either?
I´ve spoken to the Probation Service again.
Said the same thing as they did to you.
They´ve got no record of the officer
who was liaising with the Creswell family
ever having worked there.
Something is seriously wrong here.
Gov. Mrs. Taylor´s at the house.
WOMAN: Well, have I been burgled or not?!
[ Shouting indistinctly ]
Thank you very much. Mrs. Taylor?
At last. Can somebody please tell me what´s going on?
I´m D.C. Rosie MacManus, and this is D.C. Lincoln.
We need to ask you some questions, please.
-What about? -It´s about your husband.
Peter?
-Would you like to sit down? -What´s happened to him?
No, I don´t want to sit down! What´s happened to him?
Okay. Is this your husband?
Yes.
Do you know a man called Dominic Morton?
No.
The body of a man -- Dominic Morton --
matching your husband´s description has been found.
And we´re investigating his death.
[ Gasps ]
Mrs. Taylor...
Can you just confirm that the men in these two photos
are the same person?
Are you telling me my husband´s dead?
Dominic was murdered.
Peter. His name is Peter.
I´m sorry.
I´m afraid I´m gonna have to ask you
some more questions, Mrs. Taylor.
Well, it´s not me you want -- It´s your lot.
SO10.
Your husband was one of their informants?
No, he´s a police officer!
Oh...
God.
He was an undercover police officer posing as a ***?
This is crazy.
How did this happen?
We still don´t know all the details.
Details?
A police officer has been murdered and mutilated.
-I saw his body. -[ Door opens ]
Viv? Have you got a minute?
Viv, this is Bill Parkes, SO10.
How long have you known about Dominic?
Or Peter as he´s now called.
I take it that is his real name.
Yeah.
How long have you known he was dead?
Yesterday afternoon.
We´ve wasted precious time
investigating what we thought was a *** ***.
We had our own investigation to consider.
And what was that?
18 months ago, word started circulating about a video...
...which showed a young boy
being violently sexually assaulted.
We believe the boy may have actually died
during the making of the film.
You´re talking about a snuff video?
We think so.
We´ve never found the boy´s body or the video.
Was Peter trying to infiltrate a *** ring?
Yes.
When did you last see your husband?
About six weeks ago.
And when did you last speak to him?
Last week.
What about last night?
We know that he called you.
I was staying at my mother´s.
Oh.
MacMANUS: Are you sure you don´t want us to listen to it first?
PETER: Ruth?
Oh, it´s okay. I´ll try you later.
[ Beeps ]
It´s just me again. I´ll try later.
[ Beeps ]
You´re probably in the bath. Never mind.
I just wanted to say it´s been a hell of a day.
The whole neighborhood was outside,
screaming, shouting at me,
and I´m scared I won´t be able to keep it together.
I tell you, anything´s better than this.
Even sitting my Sergeants exam.
I promise I´m gonna be out of this soon.
I´m gonna take a long, long break.
I´m gonna make up -- Ugh!
[ Thud ]
[ Thudding ]
[ Beep, click ]
[ Sobbing ]
Prior to Peter going in undercover,
we´d identified what we thought
was one member of the *** ring, Gavin Prest.
Prest was then charged with indecent assault
on a 12-year-old boy.
He was on remand in Longmarsh Prison.
Peter was sent in there to spend two months
on the same wing with him in.
Where´s Prest now?
He´s in Prague. Has been for the past two weeks.
What else?
Well, like I said, it´s early days.
Peter was putting in the groundwork.
There were faces that kept cropping up,
but he hadn´t put names to them.
Think Peter was worried that his cover might have been blown?
No.
If he´d had any concerns about that,
he would have informed us immediately.
PETER: I tell you, anything´s better than this.
Even sitting my Sergeants exam.
He blew his own cover on the message to his wife.
...out of this soon.
I´m gonna take a long, long break.
-[ Thud ] -Ugh!
[ Thudding ]
[ Thudding stops ]
[ Footsteps ]
[ Beep, click ]
Exact time of death -- 10 past 9:00.
Found some glass fragments in his hair.
That along with the indentation marks
and bruising on the skull here
suggest he was hit with a heavy-duty torch.
His wife´s outside.
We´d been trying for a baby for a while.
I didn´t...
I didn´t want to be the reason he gave up his job.
Ruth, did your husband mention any details
of the operation that he was involved in?
I knew what it was about.
What he had to do.
Did he talk to you about the people he met,
give you any names?
All he mentioned was a boy.
A boy?
We know the operation was prompted by
what SO10 believe to be the death of the boy in the video.
Oh, no, it wasn´t that. He´d made friends with this kid.
Did he tell you his name?
No.
Ruth, before we go through,
there´s something I have to tell you.
About Peter´s injuries.
RUTH: [ Wailing ]
She´s eight months pregnant.
They were happy.
How do you sustain a marriage under those circumstances?
Don´t ask me.
The crime scene´s a mess.
Still a load of prints we can´t identify.
With any luck, the tape of Dominic´s ***
will help us prioritize the forensic search.
If we can find out the killer´s movements,
we´ll know which area of the house to concentrate on.
I´ve got a sound forensics expert to analyze the tape.
Can you go down there and liaise with him?
You know this boy that the wife was talking about?
Do you think SO10 know about it?
What do you think?
This is Eddie Bostock, sound forensics.
Hi, Eddie. Rosie.
I´ve listened to the answer-machine recording.
And?
Oh.
By the sound of things,
only one person was there when Peter was killed.
What we need from you, Eddie,
is a picture of the killer´s movements,
a map of where he went.
We need to localize the search for DNA.
Now, if we did a blanket sweep of this place,
it´ll take the lab till Christmas to process it all.
Can you help?
I think so.
Thank you.
A cat meows.
Right.
The killer goes downstairs.
Bum-bum-bum-bum.
Probably to get the knife from the kitchen.
Um, then comes back up
and, um, does the, um, cutting.
Quality of the sound isn´t great.
But you´ll be able to get something from it?
It´s a case of enhancing it,
replicating the sounds, rerecording them.
No. No.
The body was rolled over, so if you could...
Yeah, I think we´ll try that.
I´ve told you what we know.
Peter Taylor´s wife mentioned
that Peter was in regular contact
with a boy he´d befriended.
Do you know who he is?
We´ve only got a first name. Josh.
-We believe he´s a rent boy. -Thank you!
So why didn´t you tell us?
Well?
Peter had discovered that Josh knew, or claimed he knew,
the boy that died in the video.
Bit by bit, we were trying to win his confidence.
You have to bear in mind what Josh is
and what he thought Peter was.
You can´t find Josh, can you?
-We haven´t seen him, no. -Are you looking?
We were hoping to watch him for a few days.
-Where does he live? -He´s homeless.
Well, where did Peter meet him?
Peter thought he worked ´round Rupert Street.
We´ve already had people out looking for him.
No sign so far.
We know that Peter had invited Josh ´round to his house.
The boy went to Pete-- or rather Dominic´s house?
Yeah, Dominic was hopeful
that the boy could even get him a copy of the tape.
Josh may have passed a video of a boy being murdered
by a *** ring to Peter Taylor.
Now, our priority is identifying who Josh is.
Fingerprints.
The games consoles that we found upstairs in the house
and those flip -- the handset thingies.
-Game pads. -Game pads, yeah.
Have they been taken down to the lab?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
He went to the house.
If we´re gonna find the prints anywhere, we´ll find them there.
Can you get the lab to prioritize it?
Barry, can you make sure that we get
uniform out there looking for him?
Right.
This boy Josh knows the world our man was moving in.
It´s got to be our best lead.
-[ Knocks on door ] -Gov?
One set of prints
that they lifted from the house match this kid.
Josh Gosling.
Nicked for using a stolen credit card four months ago.
No fixed address. Thought to be working as a rent boy in Soho.
-Any other intelligence on him? -No, that´s the lot.
Guys over at public protection
might have had dealings with him.
-Morton was undercover. -HALL: What?
Look, I know these things are run on a need-to-know basis.
If it´s any consolation, SO10 waited a day until they told us.
Look, you ever see Josh Gosling with Morton?
HALL: No.
But I have seen him around.
Where?
He works as a card man
for massage parlors and saunas ´round Penn Market.
Thank you.
Need surveillance down at Penn Street Market.
I want someone clearing all the cards
from the phone boxes down there.
Let´s try and flush him out.
Yes, gov.
[ Indistinct talking ]
[ Indistinct sound ]
[ Click ]
[ Indistinct sound ]
[ Indistinct sound ]
Can you hear it?
No.
[ Indistinct sound ]
-MacMANUS: What is it? -A sneeze.
So?
Well, whoever the killer was sneezed.
I´d say somewhere on the stairs.
You´d be able to pinpoint the exact spot?
Eventually, yeah.
[ Sneeze ]
This kid´s got to be our prime suspect, hasn´t he?
Why else would he have gone to ground?
He could be dead, for all we know.
[ Cellphone rings ]
Friend.
When the killer came back upstairs, he sneezed.
I´ll have to do some more recording to find out where.
He could have blown DNA right out of his nose.
Now, if Eddie can locate the killer
to the precise spot where it happened,
we should have a DNA hotspot.
It´ll be impossible to link the DNA to the killer.
We´ll never be able to prove
that it was left as a result of the sneeze.
Yeah, it won´t stand up in court,
but it could still help us identify Dominic´s killer.
It´ll give us our suspect.
What about the rent boy?
Yep. We´ve got a lead on his whereabouts.
Trevor and Rosie are out there now.
-[ Knocks on door ] -Police.
Hey, get off me! Don´t touch me!
-Josh Gosling. -Who?
What, are you deaf? Josh Gosling.
This is the kid. Do you know him?
-Come on. -Trevor!
Watch the kid.
[ Up-tempo reggae music playing ]
Police.
Get him. He´s legging it.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Get back.
Sit down! Sit down.
Which way?!
LINCOLN: Sarge, he´s gone out the window.
Josh! It´s okay.
Josh.
Josh, Josh! No!
No.
Josh, my name is Rosie.
Just -- No.
Josh...
We just need to talk with you.
Don´t come any closer. I swear to God.
Okay.
-Josh, whatever you´ve done -- -I haven´t done anything!
Just step this side of the rail.
Please.
Okay. Take it easy.
Don´t come any closer.
Okay.
Josh...
Things are never as bad as you think they are.
I promise you.
This is about Dominic, isn´t it?
Yeah?
Why don´t you tell me what happened?
Has he been done?
´Cause he never touched me.
Josh, he´s dead.
There´s a reason why Dominic never touched you or harmed you.
He was trying to find out who killed your friend --
the boy in the video.
Did you trust Dominic?
Then you need to trust us ´cause we´re on his side.
Dominic was a policeman.
So was the other one!
W-What other one?
The one who took Jamie! He was a copper.
PURVIS: We´ve got a match for the DNA samples
taken from the spot where Dominic´s killer
was standing when he sneezed.
Sir. Got a suspect.
P.C. Mike Costello.
What?
One of the officers that found Peter´s body.
Do you think you´ll be able to recognize him?
Okay.
That´s him.
Which one?
The one in front. The Irish bloke.
You sure?
Okay. That´s great.
The officer that you´ve identified as Mike,
can you tell us how you know him?
Arrested me.
Yeah? What for?
I got nicked using a punter´s credit card.
And that´s the only time you´ve ever met him?
No.
He wanted information.
About me. And others.
Others?
Boys.
What did he want to know that for?
His friends.
Did you ever meet any of his friends?
Gavin something.
What about Dominic?
Was Dominic a friend of Mike´s?
He was a friend of Gavin´s.
How did you get on with Dominic?
You liked him?
You went to his house?
He wasn´t into doing anything.
He just wanted to look at pictures,
you know, with kids in.
And you got them for him?
Yeah.
And videos?
Did he have the video with your friend in it?
The one where Jamie died.
But he wanted it?
Sick.
The only reason he wanted to get hold of that tape
was to find your friend´s killers, Josh.
That´s the truth.
Do you know who had that video?
They showed it to me.
They were laughing.
Who?
That copper Mike. And Gavin.
They said I knew what was gonna happen to Jamie,
but I didn´t, I didn´t.
That´s okay. All right, Josh.
Were you trying to get hold of the tape for Dominic?
He said he´d give me money for it.
FRIEND: Did you tell Mike that Dominic wanted the tape?
No. I didn´t want his money.
So Mike had no idea of Dominic´s interest in the tape?
Josh, did Mike have any contact whatsoever with Dominic
as far as you´re aware?
My birthday.
They were both at my party.
-I want to arrest Mike Costello. -What, with no evidence?
We need a warrant to search his house.
And if we don´t find anything?
Okay, suppose, Costello is responsible --
which I´m not convinced of --
one advantage we have at the moment
is the chance to investigate him before he knows about it.
-You make a move now... -Just do it.
What´s this about?
Okay, we took our time getting to Morton´s house.
Has nothing to do with your response time, P.C. Costello.
Mrs. Costello? Detective Inspector Friend.
Yeah?
Mike?
It´s all right.
We have a warrant to search your premises.
What?
Hello, there.
Gavin Prest had a party for Josh
to celebrate his 15th birthday.
Now, Josh told us that Dominic took a picture
of all of them together.
Now, we´ve checked with SO10. They haven´t got it.
And that´s what we think Mike was looking for.
I mean, imagine, Mike´s called to the house
and is confronted by a screaming mob of protestors.
Then he sees the object of their anger --
Dominic Morton -- a man that he´s met previously.
At the party.
Now, he knows that Dominic´s got some photographs of him
with convicted pedophiles.
Now that Dominic´s in the spotlight,
what are the chances of these photos being found?
Mike can´t risk it.
So Mike goes back to the house to retrieve the photos.
He thinks Dominic´s still in the nick.
So whilst Mike´s in the house,
Dominic comes back, makes the call to his wife.
The rest we know.
It would explain why there was no film
or negatives at the house.
Yeah -- Barry, can you get forensics to check
and double-check those cameras inside and out?
Scott and Patrick,
I want the search around Dominic´s house extended.
Think -- You know, if you had to get rid of
your bloodstained clothes, film, whatever,
where would you dump it?
Where were you at 10 past 9:00
on the night Dominic Morton was murdered?
I was on duty.
Do you have any record of what you were doing at that time?
I was in the patrol car with P.C. Palmer.
We stopped a woman for speeding on Gorton Way.
That was just after 9:00 p.m.
I want P.C. Palmer down here now.
Scott, can you speak to the woman they pulled over?
Gov, I´ve checked with the CAD operator.
P.C. Palmer ran a PNC check on her at 10 past 9:00.
[ Sighs ]
We were on duty till 2:00 a.m.
And you were with Mike the whole time?
Till the end of the shift.
And where were you at 10 past 9:00?
We were out on patrol.
We pulled up a woman for speeding at 5 past 9:00.
Gov, the woman they did for speeding on Gorton Way --
Margaret Johnston.
She only dealt with one officer.
You´ve been covering for Mike, haven´t you?
No comment.
If it wasn´t so serious, it wouldn´t be a problem.
Loyalty to a colleague, yeah, we all understand that.
But Dominic was a colleague too. He was SO10.
-What? -Undercover.
-No. -Real name, Peter Taylor.
When he was attacked by a mob, you took 51 minutes to get there
´cause you thought he was a worthless ***.
How ironic that the real one was sitting right next to you.
What? Mike?
I can´t -- I don´t believe that.
I don´t care.
I just want to know whether Mike
was with you that night when you said he was.
He said he´s been knackered this past week.
Asleep? Where?
In my car.
There have been so many broken nights at home lately
with the kids.
-So Greg covered for you? -Yes.
Does he do that often?
No. He was just returning a favor.
Where was the car parked?
Down a side street off Tolling Industrial Estate.
Do you know Josh Gosling?
Yes.
I´ve nicked him.
We have a witness that says you attended Josh´s birthday party
with Dominic Morton and Gavin Prest.
Well, that´s crap.
This is Josh, right, isn´t it?
It´s sad, really.
Whether it´s the drugs or not, I don´t know.
But even on a good day,
you´re lucky if one word in five he says is true.
And ask anyone.
I´m asking you.
We have a statement from Josh
that says you used him to procure boys...
...and that you showed him video footage
of a friend of his being murdered.
Is that true?
You´d take the word of some messed-up little ***?
-Is it true? -He lives in a fantasy world.
-Is it true? -No.
It isn´t.
Did you know that Dominic Morton
was an undercover police officer?
Ohh.
So this is what it´s all about.
Some covert operation has gone pear-shaped.
Upstairs wants a result, and all this becomes a witch hunt.
Mine was the first name out of the hat, was it?
Did you hear what I said?
I said that the victim was a police officer.
I heard.
Peter Taylor was bludgeoned to death
and mutilated in the line of duty.
Most people find that pretty shocking.
Does that not shock you?
Listen, mate...
If I was you, I´d knock it on the head, yeah?
There´s a series of noises I´m still trying to identify.
-[ Cellphone rings ] -Leave him to it.
It´s probably the most excitement he´s had in years.
MacManus.
-Oh, no, you´re joking. -What?
Yeah, cheers.
Josh. He´s gone missing. Walked out of rehab.
The only solid thing
we´ve got connecting Mike to Dominic is Josh.
Oh, Patrick.
What´s happening with the search around the house?
Nothing so far.
-They´ve found Josh. -Oh, good.
It´s not.
The syringe was still in his arm.
And he was holding this.
Only person you can identify is the child.
No other voices or faces.
It gives us clues to the location
of where the film was made.
May even be able to trace the equipment used.
Well, I´m glad you found what you were looking for.
In the fullness of time,
we may be able to prove P.C. Costello´s connection
to the making of this film.
With respect, sir,
I want to nail Costello for the *** of Peter Taylor.
That´s what I´m interested in.
Bad?
Mm.
Whether they´ll ever be able to get Mike Costello for it...
We´ll get him for Taylor´s ***.
How?
All we´ve really got on him is a dodgy alibi.
[ Telephone rings ]
Eddie Bostock for you.
-These were locked, right? -Yeah.
Listen to this.
[ Clattering ]
Can you hear that?
He´s going through the drawers. Taking everything out of them.
Are you sure? The key was found on the body.
So he must have taken the key,
done the search, then put the key back.
The search team went through all the material in the drawers.
What about the last drawer, the bottom one?
What about it?
There was nothing it in. It was empty.
Yeah, but he opened it, though.
Now, watch.
All right, goes downstairs.
Quick. He´s running downstairs.
Gets to the kitchen, grabs the knife.
Runs back -- back up the stairs.
[ Breathing heavily ]
Gets to the body.
Turns it over.
Does the cutting.
Now -- Sees the drawers.
Goes over. Opens it.
What the hell are you doing?
I´ve just run through the killer´s movements.
Look at me.
It´s hot.
Add anxiety into the mix.
By the time he gets to the last drawer,
he´s gonna be sweating profusely.
Look, I know this isn´t my area of expertise.
Well, what I´m suggesting is,
have you tested the actual drawer itself?
I mean, he may have left some sort of deposits of sweat in it.
Okay. Get this over to the forensics lab.
I want the analysis fast-tracked.
Okay.
If he´s locked his DNA away in that drawer, we´ve got him.
Won´t get the forensics back for at least another 10 hours.
-So, what do we do now? -Wait.
We´ll reinterview Costello in the morning.
Okay.
Look, if you´ve got problems at home,
you´re not gonna solve them sitting here.
Yeah. I´ll let them know.
-Forensics? -Yeah.
Low copy number, can´t say what it´s from,
but it´s Costello´s DNA in the bottom drawer of the cabinet.
Yes.
If he denies going through that chest of drawers, we´ve got him.
I repeat, did you search the deceased´s pockets?
Possibly. I can´t remember.
You can´t remember?
There´s a man lying on his back
with his trousers cut open and his genitals removed,
and you can´t remember if your hands was in his pockets or not?
-No. -No? No what?
No, I did not search the pockets of the deceased.
Did you search the chest of drawers
in the room where Peter Taylor was found?
No, I did not.
Thank you.
Interview with P.C. Mike Costello
terminated at 10:23 a.m.
So what happens now?
We charge you with the *** of Peter Taylor.
We don´t have to explain the procedure to you.
I´m presuming that you´re already familiar with it.
