Suspects (2014) s05e03 Episode Script

The Enemy Within (Part 3)

Sarge, this is Rose Harris.
She's been arrested on suspicion of the murder of Jasmine Colshaw - and for child trafficking.
- It's a misunderstanding.
- STEELE: Rose.
- ROSE: What? I'm talking to my daughter.
WESTON: What are you doing here? Just waiting for you.
You are my dad, after all.
- Oh, yeah.
Um - I know everything.
She told me everything.
I know that she went to prison 'cause she was taking the rap for you and that that she was pregnant with me while she was in there.
- Hello, Sarge.
- Gary.
Sorry for dragging you out this early.
BROOKS: Well, you did the right thing.
What have you got? Got a 16-year-old rape victim, Kia.
- Yep.
- ROSCOE: She's inside with her father, Archie.
Kia, Archie, this is my colleague, Detective Sergeant Alisha Brooks.
BROOKS: I understand you went through something pretty traumatic.
And I'm gonna come and sit down and ask you a few questions if that's okay.
But, first, I'd like to know, where are the clothes that you were wearing last night when this happened? I found her scrubbing them with bleach.
I really need you to explain to me in your own words what happened.
I do understand this is gonna be very difficult to both hear and talk about.
I was on my way home, coming back from my mate's house after a pizza and a movie.
Okay.
Do you know what time that was about, roughly? I think it was about maybe 10:00, 11:00 p.
m.
And then what happened? I was walking down Orfield Road when a man come up behind me and dragged me into an alleyway, pulled up my skirt.
[Voice breaking.]
He pulled my knickers down.
He raped me.
[Sobs.]
Did you happen to see your attacker's face at all? - No? - KIA: Mnh-mnh.
Okay.
You said that you were at your friend's house.
What's your friend's name? [Sniffles.]
Lucy Harris.
Lucy Harris.
WESTON: Morning, morning.
BROOKS: Morning, Jack.
Okay, so we have 16-year-old Kia Hopkins, raped on the way home from her friend's house last night.
Forensically, this is gonna be a bit of a challenge because she dumped her clothes in bleach pretty much immediately.
So I'm not sure what we'll get from that.
And she also took a shower.
And at the moment, she is really unwilling to undergo medical assessment.
We've sent a team down to the area.
We're looking for a potential crime scene around here.
This alleyway is, as we speak, being dusted for fingerprints.
Sarge, there are no CCTV cameras around the crime scene at all.
We could chase up with her friend, Lucy Harris, - whose house she left.
- DRUMMOND: Lucy Harris.
Lucy Harris.
That's Rose Harris' daughter, isn't it? So, if you just chase up Lucy and then get that window of time just a bit more specific WESTON: Why doesn't Gary just There's so much CCTV to go through.
Why don't you do that? And I'll go and I have a meeting at 11:00, but I've nothing until then.
So I can go and chat to Lucy Harris.
BROOKS: Okay.
Great.
Yeah.
You chase up Lucy.
Thanks.
Okay.
I'll see you in a bit.
BROOKS: Later.
Lucy? LUCY: Hmm? - You okay? - I'm fine.
Why? - Why aren't you at school? - Why are you checking up on me? WESTON: I'm not checking up on you.
Why aren't you at school? 'Cause I didn't feel very well this morning.
Do you know Kia Hopkins? Yes.
She's in my English class.
WESTON: Okay.
When was the last time you saw her? Last night, actually.
What were you doing last night? She came 'round here while you were out.
Okay.
On her way home, Kia was attacked.
She was very, very, very seriously assaulted.
Well, is is she okay? She's fine.
She's with us now.
What time did she leave here? I don't know.
Quarter past 10:00.
Kia left Lucy's address about 10:15.
So that should make it easier to track Kia's movements.
Gary, show Sarge what you found.
I contacted T.
I.
U.
to get data analysis on Kia's phone.
It looks as though, moments before she was raped, she uploaded quite a large file to the Internet.
- So I tracked it down.
- Nice.
You should definitely take a look at it.
Yeah.
KIA: All right, you've got to show me how to do this, man.
- I can't do it.
- Mnh-mnh.
KIA: Yeah.
Come on.
STEELE: Lucy Harris, not at home having a pizza smoking what looks like a joint with In a second, she'll turn the camera around.
- WESTON: When was this taken? - STEELE: Last night.
Kia Hopkins.
So they clearly lied about where they were.
Okay.
You guys have got this.
I'm just gonna pop split.
Lucy, it's Jack.
Yeah.
Get down to the station right now.
I don't care.
Right now.
- STEELE: Jack? - Hi.
Okay.
Tell me what's going on.
Jack.
Huh? Uh Don't make me ask twice.
Come on.
What's going on? When Lucy was at the station the other night STEELE: Yeah.
She didn't have anywhere to go.
So she's just staying with me just for a couple of days.
What the fuck? She's 16.
What the fuck are you doing?! I'm not shagging her if that's what you're thinking.
That is what I'm thinking.
So tell me why.
Oh, fuck.
I think she's my daughter.
[Footsteps approaching.]
- Did Rose tell you this? - Yes.
Rose, who you always told me is a massive liar, manipulative, can't be trusted.
I haven't really slept the last couple of nights.
I've been putting everything together.
And it just Fuck.
It makes sense.
- I mean, um - Okay, okay, okay.
I can't I cannot I cannot compute that right now.
So we're gonna roll back to the fact that Lucy is a witness in this case and is staying with you.
That means that Kia was at your house last night.
- Yeah.
- You have to tell Drummond.
I can't.
Listen.
What do you mean, you can't? Of course you can.
- I don't want to - Of course you can.
You have to.
- Fuck's sake.
- Trust me.
- Just give me a couple days.
- No, no, no, no, no.
Just, I need to know that you're not gonna tell him.
If you drag me down with you, I'm gonna be fucked off.
[Sighs.]
Okay, listen.
I don't have a huge amount of time.
Remind me again what happened last night.
Kia came 'round, and we had pizza.
Please don't lie to me.
Lucy, I've just seen a mobile phone clip of you rolling a spliff in some sort of I don't know industrial place last night.
Well, you've only been my dad for five minutes.
Don't go all dad mode now.
Kia was raped last night.
Okay? My job is to find out who did it so they don't do it again.
I know Kia was at the party with you.
Okay? - Where was the party? - It was in some garage.
- Where was the garage? - I don't know.
I don't know where it was.
BROOKS: So, we know Kia was smoking weed - with her friend Lucy.
- Hi.
- BROOKS: We have Hey.
- Where have you been? Just in the middle of something downstairs.
Any updates? There are a few concerning factors, um, with Kia's statement at the moment.
It's very patchy.
At the same time, she has been through a very traumatic exper - Yes, Charlie? - STEELE: Sorry, Sarge.
Um, Crimestoppers just sent through an anonymous video that they got about 10 minutes ago, and it's - DRUMMOND: You got it up? - Yeah.
It's ready to go.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Okay.
- Oh.
- DRUMMOND: All right.
Charlie.
Pause it there.
Pause it, Charlie.
All right, so, Kia's lied about her location.
Could she have lied about knowing her attacker? - Jack? - Yeah? What? Lucy is now a significant witness.
- You've got to tell Drummond.
- No.
Lucy told me everything she knows.
I mean, she wasn't even in the video.
So she probably wasn't even there.
She was at the party.
Well, then she probably doesn't even know them.
- She's Look, I trust her.
- [Sighs.]
- Charlie.
- Oh! Charlie, I know what I'm doing.
BROOKS: Okay.
So, that's moved us on, to say the least.
Kia was attacked in the back of this car at a party where there are plenty of people.
And whoever shot this video's obviously gonna become very key to us.
ROSCOE: They must have a conscience if they sent it to Crimestoppers.
BROOKS: If Kia is struggling piecing the events of last night together for whatever reason, someone else must be able to help us identify her attacker.
DRUMMOND: She needs to be reinterviewed by you.
Do what you do best.
I also want to know where the party is.
- Got to be key, right? - I think that's Archie's garage.
- In fact, I'm pretty sure.
- How do you know? ROSCOE: I used to stop off there for a brew when I was on the beat.
I've known him for a few years.
- Archie.
- Yeah, all right, Gary? - How's it going? - Yeah, I'm all right.
ROSCOE: Had a party? ARCHIE: Oh.
Some kids messing around in here.
- ROSCOE: Oh, really? - ARCHIE: Yeah.
- Fostering this kid, Nico.
- Nico, yeah.
I think it was him and his mates.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
What, they had the party in there? Yeah, I think they did, yeah.
I mean, nothing's gone missing as far as I can see.
Archie, have you had, um, a red hatchback in this week for service, MOT? Yeah, yeah.
It was in here yesterday.
Come in yesterday.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, where was it? - In the garage? - Yeah, yeah.
Um, my mate was covering for me.
Uh, I'll look in the logbook.
He might know it.
- Check it out for us.
Nice one.
- All right.
Gary, it don't look like it's here, mate.
ROSCOE: It's not been signed out, penciled by a customer or nothing? - No.
- Archie, man, I'm gonna have to ring this in, pal.
It's, um The situation's changed a little.
Oh, yeah? What's up? This is now officially a crime scene, mate.
We've got evidence that the sexual assault of Kia took place here, and, more than likely, in the hatchback.
WESTON: Thank you very much for coming in.
I'm Detective Sergeant Jack Weston.
Archie.
Nice to meet you.
And Nico, is it? - Yeah.
- Nice to meet you.
Thank you for coming in.
That said, can I just say how sorry I am that this has happened? And we'll try and find whoever's done this as quickly as possible.
We won't keep you too long.
Just a few questions, mainly to do with the party in the garage last night, Nico.
'Cause it really is down to the good grace of your foster dad here that we aren't smashing you for that.
It's a crime.
And then, of course, there's the stolen car.
Did you steal the car? Or did you organize for the car to be stolen? Nothing to do with you? No.
The car had nothing to do with you? - Nothing to do with me, yeah.
- Okay.
Now, I admit I broke into the garage.
And that that was wrong.
I shouldn't have done it.
I mean, the whole party was a bad idea, really, because it got out of control.
Loads of people turned up who I don't know.
- There was, um - WESTON: Can I Can I actually very quickly borrow your mobile phone just for the contact details of these people? 'Cause then, I mean Then we can kind of eliminate them from our inquiries one by one.
- Yeah, of course.
- WESTON: Yeah? BROOKS: Kia, I need you to listen to me now.
I know what I'm asking you to do is very, very difficult.
But if there are any details that were unclear or that you're not ready to share with me yet, you need to just say that, and you can take your time.
What you mustn't do is feed me false information because that is gonna make things very complicated.
The wrong people could get into trouble.
And it could lead me away from whoever did this to you.
To be honest, I was off my face on drugs.
I can't remember.
Kia, what drugs did you take? I was smoking cannabis.
Just cannabis? I had never smoked anything as potent as that before.
Completely knocked me out.
So all you took was the drugs that your friend, Lucy Harris, handed to you? That's all you smoked? Only a couple puffs on the spliff.
That was it.
BROOKS: Have you ever smoked cannabis before? Mm-hmm.
BROOKS: Did it ever have that effect on you before? No.
BROOKS: You've never blacked out on cannabis? - No.
- BROOKS: Okay.
Kia, I suspect that you may have been drugged last night.
Okay? That sounds to me like a very intense, unusual reaction to just cannabis.
So I'm gonna need to take a blood sample from you and get it sent off for testing.
This is D.
C.
Charlie Steele.
And she's up to speed with your case.
So, I need a blood test and toxicology report done at hospital.
- STEELE: Okay.
- Yeah? Okay.
It's a really quick blood test, and it's painless.
And I'll be with you the whole way.
Okay? ROSCOE: [Speaking indistinctly.]
What are you guys up to? There's quite a long list to get through of partygoers, so we're just sort of prioritizing and doing Actually, I'm much more interested in this guy C.
J.
Willis.
Nico failed to mention him in his initial list of friends - Has he got form? - despite the fact there was lots of communication between the two of them.
He does have form juvenile caution for a fray, adult conviction for Class A drugs possession.
- Better go and see him.
- Right.
Thanks.
Gary.
- ROSCOE: Helena.
- WESTON: How you doing? You're a bit of a ladies' man 'round here, Gary, eh? - This was my manor, Sarge.
- Yeah? I worked a beat 'round here for a few years.
- This is him.
- 43? - I know C.
J.
- You know him? - Yeah.
- Do you want to take it? - If you don't mind.
- Yeah.
[Knocking.]
- Fucking stinks.
- C.
J.
, you all right? - How's it going? - Ask you a few questions.
This is my colleague Detective Sergeant Jack Weston.
- All right.
- How you doing, pal? - You all right? - Yeah.
I'm fine, mate.
[Clears throat.]
It's been a long night.
ROSCOE: I need to ask you about that, actually.
Where was you last night? Your whereabouts.
Um, yeah, I went to a party.
ROSCOE: Whose party was it? Um, I don't know, mate.
It was at some [Scoffs.]
dirty garage somewhere.
Okay.
I mean, what's the issue, gents? - What do you want? - ROSCOE: We've just, uh We've just got an inquiry.
What, you here to arrest me or something? Chill out.
Of course not.
I want to eliminate you from our inquiries.
Did you wear those clothes to the party last night? - Yeah, I did.
- Yeah? Yeah.
Why? Do you know a young girl got sexually assaulted there? [Chuckles.]
- ROSCOE: It's not funny, C.
J.
- No, I know.
But, honestly, it was full of so many ugly girls.
Whoever did that was either blind or desperate.
I don't know, man.
Uh, I'm gonna need to take your clothes for DNA elimination.
What? I just told you DNA elimination.
I want to rule you out of the investigation.
Doing it fucking right here, mate.
- ROSCOE: Really? Now, Sarge? - Yeah.
- Right now.
- Fucking clothes.
We can do it inside if you want.
We're doing this now, mate.
We can do it right fucking here.
- Yeah.
- You asked for it.
You can have it, mate.
I don't give a shit.
That's fine.
Gary, I've got evidence bags in the boot.
- Go and get them.
- Fucking hell, man.
This is ridiculous! [Laughs.]
Happy with that? What about these, as well, mate? - Happy? - Yeah.
- [Laughs.]
Do one.
- Yeah.
Warm up inside, yeah? Boss.
I've got Kia Hopkins' mobile-phone data.
She has been to the sexual health clinic.
How do you know? So, her mobile phone rang the haven at 3:00 a.
m.
this morning.
Shortly afterwards, the phone pinged a mast within the grounds of the hospital.
So, was she examined at the hospital, do you know? STEELE: I mean, until we talk to her, I can't know for sure.
But I assume so.
Why on earth didn't she tell me that and give us the results? - Go and talk to her.
- Yeah.
She's protecting something, I think.
- DRUMMOND: Sounds like it.
- Okay.
Yeah.
- Thank you, Charlie.
- DRUMMOND: Well done.
That was great.
Great work.
STEELE: Thanks, boss.
Well done.
Okay, Kia, so, there have been further developments in our investigation.
So, we now have been able to track your movements after you left the party.
Where did you go after? Did you go anywhere before you went home? I went to the rape-crisis place.
- You did go? - Lucy made me go.
- Is this Lucy Harris? - Yeah.
I'm really glad that you've told me that.
But I have to ask why you didn't feel you could tell me that in the first place.
I'm wondering if there's any outside pressure.
Listen, you haven't been through what I've been through.
- Of course.
It's fine.
- BROOKS: No.
If you had experienced what I did, then you would know exactly how I'm feeling right now.
I understand, I understand.
So when I told you I wanted to forget about it, that's exactly what I wanted to do.
That's why I didn't say anything.
By giving us access to these test results, we have a better chance of finding him.
And potentially, we could be saving another young lady going through the same traumatic experience that you did.
Allowing me to have the results is just gonna help the investigation move along.
Okay.
BROOKS: Thank you.
Hey, Charlie.
Kia has agreed to share the results from her examination with us.
Thank God.
But she also said that Lucy Harris was actually with her.
So I just want to double-check that.
Can you do a cell-site analysis for Lucy's phone, as well? I've already ordered one from T.
I.
U.
I just thought it would be useful to know her whereabouts the last 24 hours.
BROOKS: And that is why I like you, Charlie.
Good work.
Let me know when that comes through.
- Okay? - Yes, Sarge.
Woodies have recovered the stolen red car on Waysland.
I've arranged for a forensic lift.
I want you to go down to the yard and meet it with some C.
S.
I.
s, okay? It's coming in on a flatbed any second.
- Yeah.
- STEELE: Great news.
Gary, you take that for me, will you, please? Charlie? Quick word upstairs? - Sorry? - Quick word upstairs? - Yeah? - Did you organize - that cell site on Lucy? - Yeah.
[Sighing.]
Oh.
Problem? - WESTON: No.
- You have a problem with that.
- No, I don't.
- Just say so.
I don't have a problem, Charlie.
You were doing your job.
It would just be nice to be kept in the loop.
Okay? I need to know what's going on in this case.
What do you want me to do? I've got one sarge over here who wants me to investigate her rape case, and I've got you over there who wants me to keep a secret.
Charlie, I'm just asking you to keep me involved, okay? STEELE: That's not fair.
A 16-year-old girl has been raped, Jack.
I'm asking you as a friend.
I know, I know.
That isn't fair, man.
That's not fair.
[Cellphone buzzes.]
Hi.
Yeah.
Okay, we're coming down.
- Thanks.
- Who was that? Alisha.
Guys, anything? Hi.
Have you checked the glove compartment, as well? Yeah.
ROSCOE: We found a bong, Sarge.
It's stained and quite clearly been used.
So that's why Kia was out of her head.
- Good start.
- Yeah.
I'm gonna get that swabbed for DNA ASAP.
Did you say that Archie had the car valeted? He had it in for a service and MOT, so, yeah, he would have done.
Well, hopefully, that means that any DNA samples we pick up should be able to identify the attacker.
BROOKS: Yeah.
Which would be great.
Okay, so, the results of Kia's toxicology report are in.
And it does show traces of heroin in the young girl's blood, suggesting that she was drugged because she thinks she only smoked cannabis, which I am inclined to believe.
And didn't Lucy Harris give her a spliff? Could that have been laced with heroin? Well, the chances are, I mean, the source of the heroin is probably the bong that was recovered in the back seat.
And, also, Kia's DNA has been found on the lip of the bong.
- So - ROSCOE: Sorry to interrupt.
SOCOs gave a heads-up.
They scanned the car and found semen stains on the back seat.
- Oh.
Bingo.
- Result.
Okay.
That's great news.
Let's hope the offender's on the DNA database.
We should take a DNA swab sorry from Lucy Harris just for elimination purposes.
Depends what we find in the back of the car.
She should be downstairs.
I did call her in.
So if you want to get on that now, Charlie.
Brilliant.
I'll give you a hand with that, Charlie.
- BROOKS: Thanks, Jack.
- DRUMMOND: Thanks, Jack.
You don't need to be here.
Come back! - What? - You put a single fucking foot out of line, I'm not gonna cover for you anymore.
Yeah, okay.
- STEELE: Hi, Lucy.
- WESTON: Hi, Lucy.
Uh, Lucy, we know that you took Kia to the haven.
Just tell us what happened.
Noticed the car door was open and she was in the back.
And she was in a really bad way.
And I just wanted to make sure she was okay.
Okay.
We found traces of heroin in Kia's blood.
Do you know why that might be? Did she No.
I don't think she'd ever touch it.
That's not like her.
She wouldn't have done something like that.
Did you witness Kia's rape? No.
I just found her afterwards.
STEELE: Did you know that it was videoed? No.
No, I didn't.
STEELE: Lucy, when you found her, why didn't you call the police? 'Cause she didn't want me to.
I didn't want to go behind her back, so I just made sure she was okay.
That's all I could do.
I'm sorry.
Is there any other way I can help? STEELE: I need to take some DNA from you.
WESTON: Just inside of the cheek.
There we go.
Uh, Charlie, can you give us two seconds, just the two of us? - Just want a little privacy.
- Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you.
Yes.
Look, on its way to you is a buccal swab from someone called Lucy Harris.
Um, yeah.
I just wanted you to check it against the police office's elimination database.
Yeah.
It was taken by D.
S.
Jack Weston, which is why there could have been some cross-contamination.
Perfect.
- You did the right thing.
- Okay.
But you should have told me the truth.
- I know.
- Okay? I'm under massive pressure because of what you've lied about.
- LUCY: I know.
- And I'm trying to keep you out of this.
Okay.
Go home.
And I'll call you if I need anything else.
- Just go straight home.
- Okay.
Yeah.
- Tea? - Oh, is it for me? - Mm-hmm.
- Thank you.
- STEELE: Yeah.
- And thanks for Yeah.
- Sarge? - Yeah? We have a positive fingerprint match from the steering wheel.
C.
J.
was definitely in the car.
Okay.
I want him brought in ASAP.
Jack, happy to go down? Yeah? - WILLIS: Someone help me! - Sarge, you hear that? Fuck.
C.
J.
! C.
J.
! I've got him.
I've got him.
I've got him.
C.
J.
, C.
J.
, C.
J.
, calm down.
Calm down, calm down.
C.
J.
It's all right.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Calm down.
- Calm down.
Stay calm.
- [Breathes sharply.]
- Paramedics ASAP.
- Yeah.
- Ambulance urgently required.
- I know, mate.
I got a stab wound, arterial bleed.
I've got you.
Just breathe.
Just breathe.
Just breathe.
- That was the hospital.
- ROSCOE: How's he doing? C.
J.
's in surgery.
He's not critical.
So well done, man.
You saved his life.
Thanks, Sarge.
Uh, how you doing? No, don't.
ROSCOE: [Laughs.]
Yeah, I'm all right.
It's not the first time.
Could this attack on C.
J.
have anything to do with Kia's rape? I don't know.
I mean, even if it was, he wouldn't tell us anything anyway, probably.
- Got it.
- ROSCOE: I know.
What do you got? - A knife.
- WESTON: Knife? - Blood? - Yep.
Nice work, Martin.
Nice.
I'll phone it in.
Got it, Jack.
Okay.
Thanks.
Okay, so, POLSA have found a box cutter right near the crime scene, in the bushes, fresh blood on it.
So Jack is pretty sure that that was the weapon used to stab C.
J.
- Sorry.
Sarge.
- BROOKS: Yeah? I've turned up another mobile-phone video from that party.
It's up.
BROOKS: Brilliant work, Charlie.
That's what I want to hear.
STEELE: Definitely the same party.
Some of these kids were in the other video.
C.
J.
Willis and Nico Reynolds, Kia's foster brother.
BROOKS: They don't look happy.
This before or after the rape? Well, it was posted this morning.
But until we find the source of the video, it's impossible to know when it was filmed.
If it was after, maybe they were rowing about.
You know He found out that he raped his foster sister, and Nico went 'round and stabbed C.
J.
later on.
- Possible.
Entirely possible.
- All right.
Bring in Nico.
- Boss.
- Take plain uniform with you.
- Mm-hmm.
- BROOKS: Be careful, Charlie.
- STEELE: Sarge.
- Yeah.
STEELE: Back to the wall in that corner, please.
- This is fucking ridiculous.
- Thank you.
Is it? Sarge, this is Nico Reynolds.
He's been arrested on suspicion of GBH.
Can you empty your pockets, please? - Anything else? - No.
STEELE: If I pat you down, - am I gonna find anything else? - No.
Come on.
Sign those in for me, please.
MAN: Will do.
[Door opens.]
Thank you.
- [Door closes.]
- Right.
Nico, I want you to watch something.
And then we're gonna talk about it.
What's going on there? We was having an argument because C.
J.
wanted to take one of Archie's cars out for, like, a joyride.
And I obviously didn't want to have anything to do with it.
That's what that argument's about? I think that you found out that C.
J.
had raped Archie's daughter and you went to confront him.
That's what I think.
REYNOLDS: You can believe what you want, but honestly, that's what we were arguing about.
He went and did it anyway.
He took the car.
I couldn't stop him.
And he was off his face.
ROSCOE: This is a box cutter.
We know this is from Archie's garage.
And we also know that you have access to that garage.
You seen that before? Honestly, mate, I've never actually seen that before.
Where did you go after you left the station earlier? I went home.
Swabs from Kia's medical examination at the haven match the DNA of C.
J.
Willis, proving beyond doubt that he is our rapist.
- Okay? - Yep.
DRUMMOND: Semen samples from the back of the stolen car also match C.
J.
's and one other man's.
That man is Nico Reynolds.
Oh, Christ.
- DRUMMOND: Nico being - Yeah.
Foster brother of Kia, the victim, and also foster son of Archie.
So she was gang-raped by violent offender C.
J.
and his best friend, Nico.
- ROSCOE: Archie.
- ARCHIE: All right.
ROSCOE: This is D.
C.
I.
Drummond.
- Yeah.
- Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Not the best of days, huh? Listen, I won't beat around the bush.
We're gonna have to arrest Nico on the suspicion of rape.
Well are you sure it's him? Well, I can't disclose specifics at the moment till after we've interviewed him.
But, yeah, there is strong evidence there, yeah.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
- [Tapping.]
- I really am, Archie.
[Door opens.]
BROOKS: So sorry to interrupt.
- Can I have a quick word? - Yeah.
- Poor guy.
- Yeah.
Okay, so, I just thought you might like to know that Nico Reynold's fingerprints have shown up on our bong, the one laced with heroin that Kia smoked, suggesting premeditation.
Of course, this is strengthening our CPS case.
But I'm preparing him for interview now.
Don't want to have all the fun myself.
Do you want to join me? - Yeah.
Perfect.
- Okay.
Yeah.
See you in there.
Okay, Mr.
Reynolds.
I need to inform you that now we are going to talk to you about your involvement in the violent raping of Kia Hopkins.
We found your fingerprints on a bong.
It was in the back of that car.
And it's also tested positive for heroin.
What's your account of that? Well, I've I've I've used that bong.
Just to smoke weed, though.
I've never Is it a shock to you that it's tested positive for heroin? - REYNOLDS: Yeah.
- Yeah? How do you think the heroin got in there? - REYNOLDS: Probably C.
J.
- C.
J.
? So C.
J.
's behind all this? Nico, there's your semen, on the back seat of the car, which tends to suggest that you were somehow involved.
Need to remind you that this is a rape case.
Anything you want to tell me about it? REYNOLDS: Um, you sure it's mine? Yeah.
Well yeah, no.
The maximum sentence for rape is life.
If you cooperate with us, tell us what happened that night, - we might be able to - REYNOLDS: I was there.
Negotiate your sentence.
REYNOLDS: I was there, but I didn't rape anyone.
- I was just watching.
- You were watching? REYNOLDS: Yeah.
It was C.
J.
who committed the rape.
It was C.
J.
who had the heroin.
It was C.
J.
's idea.
I mean, I was drunk.
I didn't really know what I was doing, man.
DRUMMOND: So that's why your semen's on the back seat? You were watching? Yeah.
So, Kia, thank you again for your cooperation with those results.
I can let you know that we found C.
J.
Willis' and Nico Reynolds' DNA at the scene of the crime in the back of the car where you were attacked.
In light of this information, Kia, I don't know if that has helped to jog your memory at all or if you feel ready to talk a little bit more to me about what happened.
I was ashamed.
I just didn't want to let my dad down.
He's so proud of his foster work.
And he does such a good job.
It's okay.
Take your time.
Just take your time.
C.
J.
invited me into the back of the car to smoke a bong.
[Sniffles.]
He made me smoke, but he didn't smoke any.
C.
J.
hitched up my skirt ripped down my knickers.
And he done what he done.
Okay.
Here, it's okay.
You're doing so well here.
KIA: [Sniffles, sighs.]
BROOKS: You're doing really, really well, Kia.
Nico didn't rape me the way C.
J.
did.
[Sniffles.]
But he made me give him oral sex.
BROOKS: Okay.
Well, that is still rape, Kia.
Still a very serious offense.
- [Sobs.]
- It's okay.
Well done.
This takes a huge amount of courage.
Stand there and shut up.
Hello, Sarge.
Can you dig out the charge headings, please? CPS have given us authority to charge this little shit with raping Kia Hopkins.
Could get life.
You know that? - How you holding up, Archie? - How you doing? I wish Kia's mum was here.
She would have known what to do.
Ah, listen.
I've known you for years, buddy.
You do so much good for these kids.
Makes me a bit angry, you know.
Archie, it ain't your fault, mate.
All right? Now, honestly, you're a good dad.
- You all right? - Mm-hmm.
- You all right, Kia? - Mm-hmm, yeah.
- I just want to go home.
- ROSCOE: Okay.
We're gonna go.
- Why don't we give you a lift? - Oh, is that all right? - Of course, man.
- Cheers.
- Thanks, Gary.
- Come this way.
Okay, so, what are we thinking? Nico stabbed C.
J.
because he thinks C.
J.
's speaking to us? - [Telephone rings.]
- Does he stab C.
J.
because he didn't get rid of the car properly, he balls that up? - I mean - I don't care, Sarge.
As long as they both go down for rape.
Sorry.
Sarge.
That was the lab.
The unidentified partial print on the box cutter belongs to Lucy Harris.
Lucy Harris? Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Well, are they sure? Yeah.
There was enough of a print.
It's a definite.
Are we safe to assume, then, that Lucy knew Kia's attackers? And this was a what? A revenge stabbing on C.
J.
? BROOKS: Okay, let's work this backwards.
Sarge, I'm really sorry.
Can I have a private word? Um, yeah.
Yes.
Sure, Charlie.
Um, let's go in here.
- WESTON: Charlie.
- I'm sorry.
- Charlie, Charlie.
- Whoa.
Okay.
Guys, guys, what's going on? WESTON: Charlie's not staying.
- Charlie, can you please - Close the door.
BROOKS: Guys, I really don't have time for this.
What's going on? This is a private conversation between me and Alisha.
Lucy Harris is Jack's daughter.
Jesus Christ.
- [Door closes.]
- BROOKS: What? - WESTON: Okay, hang on.
- Lucy Harris.
WESTON: Hang on, hang on.
She's your daughter? Okay.
Charlie, I need you to go down and bring Lucy in.
- WESTON: No.
I'll go.
- Bring her in.
Jack, I think you need to sit down.
- I think we need to have a chat.
- I'm sorry.
What? So are you my boss or something? - Are you telling me what to do? - Am I your boss? You can't just walk in here and tell me and my team what to do.
BROOKS: Don't interrupt me! I'm not your boss! But one word from me to your boss, and I'll have you diverting traffic for the rest of your fucking life! When were you gonna tell me Lucy Harris is your daughter? I was just about to tell you.
No.
You're too busy swinging your dick around here to give a shit about anyone else.
You could have jeopardized this whole investigation.
You not mentioning this could have meant that my 16-year-old rape victim didn't see her day in court, not to mention the charges of gross misconduct I would have personally rammed down your throat.
Do you understand the severity of what you've just done? Your daughter is a significant witness in my rape investigation, isn't she? And now she is a major suspect in the stabbing of a young boy.
Where's your head, Jack? Is this a fucking game to you? These people, we're supposed to be looking after them.
And you're looking after your fucking self.
WESTON: Yeah, as always, yeah.
Obviously.
- Unbelievable.
- Are we done? Are we done? Are you gonna tell the boss? What? I'll tell you what.
You dig deep.
Find whatever backbone you have left and tell him your bloody self.
I'm bringing Lucy in.
She's now my suspect.
You go near her and watch.
- We clear? - [Door opens.]
Fuck.
[Kick lands.]
- Shit for breath! - STEELE: Yeah.
He's got He's got a daughter? STEELE: Yep.
- [Sighs.]
- What's the matter with you? I don't see what other fucking choice I had.
I just I don't want to lose my fucking job.
And I don't want him to lose his job crucially, as well, because it was always gonna come out.
I don't think He's obviously not thinking straight, is he? And you've done the right thing.
- You can't - STEELE: Doesn't feel like it.
Fuck! I'm afraid I have to arrest you on suspicion of GBH.
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defense, if you do not mention, when questioned, something which you later rely on in court.
Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
Do you understand? Where's Jack? Can I talk to him? Not just for the moment, Lucy.
I'm sorry.
Lucy, if you could just stand with your back to the wall in that corner for me.
Thank you very much.
Sarge, this is Lucy Harris.
She's been arrested on suspicion of GBH.
Sorry.
Okay, if you could book this in, I'll go and do a search.
This way.
Okay.
Has Lucy been booked in? - So she's ready for interview? - STEELE: Yeah.
Go through the strategy in there.
- Sure.
- BROOKS: Thanks.
Uh, how's Lucy doing? Uh, she's she's all right, I think.
I don't think Sarge, I don't think you should probably Ah, for fuck's sake.
[Sighs.]
I'm just gonna book Lucy Harris out for a private consultation.
I'm the appropriate adult.
Two seconds.
Thanks.
[Door closes.]
We have 90 seconds before they come down here.
I need to know everything now.
[Voice breaking.]
I'm so sorry I've lied.
I Just tell me what happened.
- I stabbed C.
J.
- Okay.
LUCY: Because he was texting me and pestering me.
And I told him no.
And at the party, he tried it on me.
- And I said no.
- It's okay.
It's okay.
Okay.
- It's okay.
It's okay.
- [Sniffles.]
They made me watch them rape Kia.
Okay.
And then they got out and said that I would be next.
And they were laughing.
Did you send in the anonymous video? When I found out Kia had lied about where it was, I just wanted you to find the garage so you could find them.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Um, step by step, talk me through the stabbing.
LUCY: I went to C.
J.
's house.
And I told him that you were a policeman and that if he ever tried anything again, I'd tell you, and I'd get him in so much trouble.
But he laughed.
He laughed.
And then he tried to pull me inside.
So I stabbed him in the leg 'cause I didn't know what he was gonna do.
I'm so sorry.
- I'm so, so sorry I lied.
- It's okay.
Lucy, is there an innocent explanation as to why your fingerprints have been found on the box cutter that stabbed C.
J.
Willis in the leg? Actually, I have a prepared statement.
Uh Okay.
"I am Lucy Harris.
I attended a party in a garage in Cromfield Place last night.
At some point during the party, I knocked over some tools that were on a bench.
I picked up all or some of the tools, but I don't remember specifically what they were.
I think one of them may have been the box cutter you described, which may have caused the cross-contamination you mentioned, as I placed them back on the surfaces of the bench.
" That was Wow.
You wrote that, yeah? That's brilliant.
Okay, just so you know, this is gonna get Jack Weston into a whole heap of trouble.
Does that change anything? No.
Charlie.
Is the sarge gonna lose his job? Yeah, I think he might.
- Where is he? - ROSCOE: I have no idea, sir.
DRUMMOND: Of course you don't fucking know where he is.
- BROOKS: Sir, he coached her.
- He's gonna fuck this case up.
- I don't know what he's doing.
- I'll tell you what he's doing.
He's digging a very big hole for himself.
[Telephone rings.]
Hello? [Clears throat.]
Thank you.
What a surprise.
That was the CPS.
And guess what.
Without evidence putting Lucy Harris at the scene of the crime, we can't charge her.
- We've got to bail her.
- Fuck's sake.
So, the conditions of your bail are in here.
Also, a return date to the station while the CPS review your case.
- Is that understood? - Yeah.
BROOKS: Make sure you take a good look at that.
Is my dad here? - Can I see him? - He is here.
But he is unable to speak at the moment.
And I can't wait for him? I think he'll be quite a while.
I suggest you get home.
Thank you.
DRUMMOND: Well, well, she's gonna be a lawyer, that one.
Huh? Clever girl.
Anything you want to tell me? Lucy Harris? Statement? I didn't tell her what to say.
I didn't.
I didn't.
DRUMMOND: Jack, you did tell her what to say.
Jack, it's tantamount to corruption.
No, I didn't do anything more than any other brief would have done.
You're not a brief.
You're apoliceman.
Now, I understand finding this news out is a big deal.
A big deal.
I get it.
But come to me.
I'm your senior officer.
Okay? I thought I'd be able to sort this problem on my own.
And then, suddenly, it was just out of control.
DRUMMOND: You had no idea where it was leading, okay? Do you know how I found out? Charlie who, by the way, is fucking looking out for you, she's your number-one fan sent the DNA down to forensics for a cross-reference against yours.
And guess what.
It's positive.
She's yours, mate.
Right.
Listen.
I should be suspending you now.
Okay? Having said that, I want you to go home, just take a fucking night.
Even if it's just a couple of hours, take some time and think about this, all right, for me, for the team, for your daughter.
Okay.
Lucy, it's Jack.
Um, I'm just on my way home now.
Uh, I've got some sort of food for us.
I'm not a great cook, so I'm not promising anything.
But I'll be home in about 10 minutes.
Bye.
Lucy? Lucy? Lucy?! Lucy? Fuck.
Lucy? Police Control.
Put me through to Police Control.
This is D.
S.
Weston.
I've got an abduction.
My daughter's missing.
BROOKS: This pattern here suggests that she was dragged.
I'm really sorry, but you know you can't be part - of this investigation.
- [Sighs.]
DRUMMOND: I want every resource thrown at this.
I am a policeman.
I-I know how these cases end up.
This is personal to me because it's personal to you.
I want to find her just as much as you do.
Look, I'm terrified that something has happened to her because of something that I have done.
Stop! Police! Stop!
