ANNOUNCER: There is shock and concern in East London this evening after the suspected murder of Edward Shaffer.

Mr. Shaffer, who was found dead after falling from the balcony of his third-floor flat, was the proprietor of a popular children's dance academy.

Earlier today, police were called to an incident at the dance academy when Mr. Shaffer's vehicle was vandalized.

Mr. Shaffer was later arrested in connection with an inquiry into an historic child rape, however, he was released due to lack of evidence.

The police have refused to confirm reports that Mr. Shaffer had made an official complaint against one of their officers.

They are appealing for witnesses to Mr. Shaffer's death.

WESTON: Hey.

BELLAMY: You're a mess.

How did you get here so quickly?

Hmm?

You arrived before Charlie.

You're here.

He's just fallen.

How'd you get here so quickly?

Yeah, I was close by.

So I turned the car around, arrived here.

He's fucking splat on the ground.

I tried to administer first aid, but the guy's dead, you know?

And that's when Charlie arrived.

-How hard you try?

-Oh, fuck, come on.

What's the primary objective?

Don't give me that shit.

This man was just about to put in an official complaint against you.

What, and I pushed him off the top of the building?

-Is that what you're saying?

-I'm not suggesting that, Jack.

We're gonna have to be very careful.

There are guidelines.

So I want you to go back to the station, fill in a duty statement, hand over your clothes for forensics.

Charlie, how did Jack get here so quickly?

I don't know.

When I got here, um, Jack was administering first aid to Mr. Shaffer.

He was unable to revive him.

-BELLAMY: Top floor?

-Yeah.

BELLAMY: I'm not bloody surprised he couldn't revive him.

STEELE: There was no forced entry, so if someone did help him over the railings, they would have had access.

Look, I know it's the wrong thing to say, but I'm slightly failing to care, given that he's a pedophile.

I'd always rather have them alive, Charlie.

Do you know what I mean?

[ Siren wailing ] That's my clothing from the crime scene.

Yeah?

I'll leave it there for you.

This I found down by the towpath.

Will you get that fast-tracked to forensics?

According to the crime-scene manager, there is evidence that there was a struggle, leading us to believe that Edward Shaffer was pushed over the edge of the balcony.

WESTON: Edward Shaffer killed pedophile hunter Scott Freeman with this weapon, a chain and padlock.

In the links of the chains of the weapon, we found gray cotton fibers.

I believe those fibers belonged to the gray sweat towels that the Shaffers use at the dance academy.

went down to the tow path, found a gray towel covered in blood.

I fast-tracked that towel to forensics.

Hopefully we can make some more connections.

BELLAMY: So, big question -- Was Edward Shaffer killed by someone else in the pedophile ring who wanted to shut him up?

[ Knocks ] Hey, we okay to come in?

Yeah, great.

You look like you've got some news for me.

Yeah, Kelly and Rose Freeman.

The girl Edward raped nine years ago and her sister.

They have an alibi.

They were at an undertakers this afternoon organizing Scott's funeral.

They couldn't have pushed Edward off the balcony.

STEELE: House-to-house strategy on Linfield Road has turned up a report from a neighbor who said that he heard Edward screaming and shouting at someone what must have been only minutes before he went over.

Well, okay -- Tamsin.

How did she react when she saw "paedo" sprayed on her van?

STEELE: She seemed shocked and angry to me.

She's got a motive for murder, seeing her husband arrested for child rape.

Bring her in.

Great.

With bells on.

Lovely.

Will you just leave me alone?

I've been trying to call you.

I've rung you like 10 times.

TAMSIN: My phone's off.

WESTON: Charlie, do you want to cut her off?

Mrs. Shaffer, we need to talk to you for two seconds.

TAMSIN: Do you have any idea how it feels to have death threats, have to give your keys back to your landlady because your business that you've built up for 20 years is finished?

Mrs. Shaffer, we found Edward's body.

Okay, he's been found dead.

No.

Let's go down to the station, okay?

Hang on, hang on.

I don't want to push you, Mrs. Shaffer, but I need you to give me your statement now and run me through your movements from Edward's release from police custody until we saw you at the dance academy.

Um, I went to the pub.

I had to steady my nerves, get my head around what was happening.

-I couldn't understand why -- -Which pub?

The Maiden Arms.

Were you with anyone?

Is it a local place, or do they know your face, anything like that?

Not really.

But I didn't have any cash, so I paid with a card.

Would that help?

-You have a receipt?

-Yeah.

You didn't, in that intervening time, go back to the flat?

No.

Wish I had.

I would have killed him myself.

Quite a thing to say.

It's quite a thing to do, the rape of a child.

-Boss.

-Oh, Jack, yeah?

Little update on Edward Shaffer's call data.

It seems Tamsin wasn't the only one receiving death threats.

Lots of voice mails from angry dance academy parents.

One caller, though, is much more persistent than any other.

He calls about 20 times, doesn't leave any messages.

We've traced that number to a guy called... What's his name?

Um... Justin Marecroft.

27-year-old mature student.

We're trying to figure out now why Justin was so eager to get in touch with Edward.

One easy way to find out, Jack.

I'll keep you posted.

-Jack?

-Yeah?

Why did it take you so long to hand the towel in?

The towel?

The gray towel?

Yeah, as evidence.

-What took you so long?

-What do you mean?

I found it down at the canal, threw it in the car, I get the I-call about Edward Shaffer, so I was in the area, so I thought I'd attend the scene first.

But I handed it in as soon as I arrived, as soon as I'd showered.

Okay.

-WESTON: Mr. Marecroft.

-Hi there.

Hi.

I'm Detective Sergeant Jack Weston.

Jack.

Good to meet you.

Hello.

Detective Constable Charlotte Steele.

-Nice to meet you.

-Thanks very much for coming in.

I know it can seem probably quite scary in a room like this, you got two detectives asking you questions, but it's -- it's nothing to worry about.

-It's to do with Edward Shaffer.

-Right.

Edward Shaffer -- Well, the Shaffers have been receiving a lot of phone calls in the past couple of hours.

Um, you seem to have called them a lot more than anyone else, and we were just -- I thought that you maybe had a kid at the academy or something.

Oh, no, no, no, I don't have any kids.

No, I was calling Edward -- I'd organized to have a party at his dance studio.

Oh.

Okay.

I was there checking out the place, and he had some graffiti.

It said "paedo" on the side of his van.

So, I mean, I didn't really want to have a party there.

Just one quick question.

There was 23 calls.

I had to leave a £100 deposit for the studio, and I was pretty keen to get my £100 back.

I'm sure you were.

Where were you this afternoon?

I was in the library.

-STEELE: Which library?

-Oh, sorry, at university.

-STEELE: Where do you study?

-At Lords Hill.

We'd like to corroborate that.

It's totally normal.

Maybe you have to sign in, something like that?

I mean, there's a card-swipe system.

STEELE: Ah, that'll do.

There's a barrier.

You've got to swipe your card to get in.

-So maybe that's... -There'll be some record.

It's probably hooked up to a computer system.

WESTON: Yeah.

-Jack?

-Yeah.

Just pop in.

Swing the door.

Everything okay?

The D.C.I.

has been asking questions about your slightly bizarre route that took you so close to Edward Shaffer's house.

They're gonna need to verify that route via your car tracker, all right?

You're making me feel like I've done something wrong.

Okay, listen, just help me out here, okay, 'cause I have to tick a lot of boxes procedurally, all right?

This is a very high-profile case.

Yes?

I'm really sorry, but there's something I quite urgently have to show you.

Okay, what is it?

So I was going through Edward Shaffer's belongings from the mortuary.

He had that -- You know that heart key ring that he had when we bailed him?

It's a USB stick.

And, Jack, come and watch this as well.

This footage was on the USB stick.

It shows a group of men abusing a young boy.

That -- So that's Edward Shaffer.

I don't know who his accomplice is.

Jesus Christ.

Turn it off, will you, Charlie?

Yeah, well, we know the video was made 36 hours ago.

Yeah.

So we know now Edward Shaffer wasn't just a pedophile nine years ago.

We know he was still active.

We've got to find that child as soon as possible.

And we need to find those fucking pedophiles.

Morning, team.

Ah, boss, I've been going through recent misper photos most of the night, found this kid, André Gatting, 13 years old.

Missing for three days.

BELLAMY: That's definitely the kid in the abuse video.

-STEELE: Yeah.

-Yeah?

-BELLAMY: Story?

-Frequent misper.

Usually goes on the run following a domestic argument with his mum, Tracey.

I've got an address for Tracey.

It is a council flat on West Park Road.

Hello?

Tracey Gatting, it's the police.

Open up.

Oh, uh, yes?

Tracey, um... -Tracey Gatting?

-Yeah.

My name's Detective Sergeant Jack Weston.

This is Detective Constable Charlie Steele.

We need to talk to your son, André.

He's not here.

If you find him, will you tell him to come home.

-Thank you.

-I guess so.

-You've got to be shitting me.

-Wow.

[ Knocking ] Tracey?

Tracey, we've spoken to some of your neighbors.

Oh, come in, yeah.

On the back of that, we'd like to ask you a few questions.

Oh, my lovely nosey neighbors.

What did they have to say?

Neighbors said they haven't heard or seen André in three days.

-So where is he?

-They should be lucky.

-STEELE: Hello.

-WESTON: Who's this?

-Mr. Gatting?

-No.

Anyway.

[ Laughs ] Right, your neighbors said that André plays his music obnoxiously loudly and they've not heard that in about two, three days.

Well, then, they should shut up, then.

Are they not grateful?

Maybe he's been tired.

I don't know.

Where is he?

TRACEY: I don't know.

I don't know where he is.

He's been home, though.

Raided my fridge.

Drank my whiskey.

He's took his scarf.

He's been off.

He's fine.

You didn't see him at all, but you're sure he's been here?

Yeah, he has been here.

WESTON: Okay, Tracey, we believe that André may be the victim of sexual abuse.

We need to bring you down to the station, we need a proper statement from you, and we need you to assist us with our inquiries.

We need you to get your coat, you bag, your keys, whatever.

-We need a description of the scarf.

-Are you joking?

We need a description of the scarf.

Let's get in the car right now.

Let's go.

Okay?

Okay, Tracey I'm gonna need your help, all right?

Now, think clearly.

Tell me about when you last saw André, okay, and what was said.

[ Crying ] We had an argument 'cause he took money out of my purse.

I bollocked him for it, and he ran off.

He was going to school.

He took his bag, and he went to school.

I thought he went to school.

God, I thought he went to school.

He didn't go to school, though, did he?

Was it a bad fight?

We always fight.

He hates me.

I can't control him.

And I know I'm a shit mother.

I know I am.

Everyone tells me.

I know I am.

Oh, will you find him?

Please find him.

Oh, God.

The kid's been missing for three days.

You know?

He was sexually abused 36 hours ago, and no one seems to have gripped it, let alone the fucking mother.

I know.

Well, we've already got one dead pedo from the video, and all the others will be shitting themselves, clearly.

Uniform have eyes on a homeless man in the park on the other side of the junction.

He's wearing a scarf that matches the description of André's.

Excuse me.

STEELE: Oh, Jesus.

WESTON: Okay, police!

Stop!

Stop!

Police!

Okay, okay, you got him?

STEELE: Got him, got him.

Got him.

Okay.

What's your name?

-What's your name?

-Jeff.

-Let's get you up, Jeff.

-Hi, Jeff.

I'm Jack.

Just want to ask you a few questions.

Fucking hurt me man.

Where do you get the scarf, Jeff?

Yeah?

What's that?

What's all this?

STEELE: Jack.

Okay, Jeff Patterson, I'm arresting you on suspicion of child abduction.

Fuck, what?

You don't have to say anything, though it may harm your defense if you fail to mention when questioned something you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be used in evidence.

Do you understand?

I want you to look at a couple of pictures and tell me if you have ever met this man.

No.

Lives on the streets locally to you.

-Have you ever seen him?

-No.

I also need to ask you if you've seen this man?

[ Crying ] He's -- He's on the news, isn't he?

He's a pedophile on the news.

[ Sobs ] Do you think he's got André?

I'm following all the lines of inquiries that I need to in order to find your son.

-Have you sobered up?

-Yeah.

Great.

Where's André?

-I don't know.

-Where's André?

-I told you -- -Jeff.

Look, I don't -- I'm not playing games with you.

I don't -- I really don't know.

Okay, you know the kid's missing.

-Yeah.

If I could help you -- -Three days he hasn't been seen.

Yeah, I know.

I don't...

Okay, we believe that he's in danger.

You were wearing that.

We found -- That's -- For the record, that's André's scarf, yeah?

PATTERSON: I know it's his scarf.

We found his school bag in your bag.

How did you get them?

He left them with me for safekeeping.

We're friends.

He left them with me to look after.

He didn't leave it with you.

He didn't leave it with you.

Look, he had a job.

Keep talking.

He got given some leaflets.

He had to put out some leaflets.

Someone lost their dog.

He had... Who gave him leaflets?

I really don't know.

-Describe them.

-I never met them.

Why did you have these in your bag?

[ Keys clink ] I went to his house the night after he give me the bag.

It was freezing cold.

You take his scarf, you take some food from the fridge, you take a bottle of whiskey, which is burglary by the way.

When André didn't return to you in the park, why didn't you tell anyone?

Why didn't you alert the police?

I was scared that this would happen.

I was scared that you would -- you would pull me in and ask me why -- Had you come to us sooner, we might know where André is.

Um...

I've been onto tech.

They've enhanced the audio from that abuse footage.

Apparently, in the background, you can hear a Muslim call to prayer.

Now, each mosque records their own unique call to prayer, a unique voice.

So I'm gonna get onto the local mosques.

If we can figure out who owns the voice, maybe we can pinpoint the location where the abuse took place.

Okay, Charlie, what have you got?

Uniform in the park where we picked up Jeff Patterson found some of these leaflets.

Some were in the bin, some were scattered around the exit.

But presumably this is what the pedophile ring are using to lure André away from the park.

All right, well, dig a bit deeper -with Mr. Patterson, I think.

-Yeah.

BELLAMY: And find out why he didn't tell us what he used to do for a living.

[ Door opens ] Right.

Does this look familiar to you at all?

Yeah, that's it.

-That's the leaflet?

-Yeah.

STEELE: Okay.

And you're 100% sure you didn't see the person who gave it to André?

PATTERSON: No.

STEELE: Not even at, like, a distance, anything like that?

He came to me with the bag to look after.

He'd already met the person.

I don't know anything about them.

STEELE: Okay.

Look... You didn't tell me that you used to be a teacher, Jeff.

I've been speaking to the current head teacher of Hillbridge Primary School, where you used to work.

He informed me that you left after being accused of inappropriate behavior with a pupil.

She was -- She was being abused by her stepfather.

And so I called her mum... ...Susan, and I said, "This is what Alice has told me."

And the very next day I get a call from the head, who said that Susan had said that it was me who was touching her.

I lose my job, I lose my house.

I lose my friends, I lose my family, I lose...

This is where I am.

I-I swear -- I swear on the lives of my family, I'm not -- I'm not a pedophile.

How useful was our homeless guy?

STEELE: Oh, pbhhht.

Hard to tell at this point, really.

I mean, either he is the innocent that he says he is and he's been hard done by, has had a really shit gig, or he is some horrible, conniving child abuser.

I mean, I'm not willing to discount that option just yet.

And until I can clarify what happened at the primary school, I can't say for sure.

Boss, we've been working very closely with the Muslim community on this one.

We've been able to identify together that the mosque we're looking for is Walbrook Road Mosque.

So now we have a very definite search radius, and hopefully we'll be able to find the crime scene.

Justin Marecroft lives on Millbridge Street.

I swear that's like two streets away.

It's just over the junction.

That's the junction of Millbridge Street there.

BELLAMY: They're really close.

WESTON: Yeah, okay.

Go.

[ Knocking on door ] Justin!

-Did you double-check the alibi?

-Oh, fuck.

I left a message for security at the library, but they didn't come back to me.

I just haven't had a chance to -- Justin!

Will you go upstairs, Jack?

Justin?

Jack?

In here.

Shit, this is the room from the abuse video.

-Jack.

-Is it his?

André.

Boss, boss.

Boss, it's me.

It's Jack.

André's definitely been here.

Justin's moved him.

I'll get SOCOs down here.

Search team are down at Justin Marecroft's house right now doing a fingertip search, but they haven't found anything to show where Justin might have moved André to.

I did a quick search of the Internet, but I also got onto the university faculty.

They were able to send a copy of Justin's student I.D.

to us.

Thank you.

His mobile phone's been switched off since he left us at the station, so there's no way of being able to track Justin or André through cell site, which leaves us in a fucking...

I'm pretty damn certain that we're gonna be able to prove that this guy was one of the men in the video, which is gonna make perfect sense of why he was so desperately trying to get hold of Edward, right?

So facial recognition.

Let's see if we can match those two for sure.

-WESTON: Will do.

-Yeah.

Maybe it would be helpful to look at how Justin moved André.

I mean, look, I checked with the DVLA.

There are no vehicles registered to him.

But I sincerely doubt that he's going on the bus or the Tube.

Of course not.

He's using private transport, right?

Yep, so we're looking for a stolen vehicle in the last 24 hours.

Plenty still to do, though.

[ Knock on door ] BELLAMY: Yes, what?

Hi, Tracey.

Boss, can I have a quick word?

[ Sobs ] Okay.

Sorry, I've got to keep hold of this, Tracey.

I'm sorry.

We need to get down to Justin Marecroft's house right now.

The cadaver dogs I had down there, they found a scent in the cellar.

There's a dead body buried down there.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Deal with her, deal with her.

[ Knocks ] -Boss.

-We've got a body.

Young boy.

It's not André.

SOCOs think the body was buried up to two, possibly three years ago.

Central murder team are going to take over on this case, so we need to find André.

That's our focus.

Thoughts on the press conference?

Cancel it, Jack.

We don't want to spook the pedophile ring and put André in more danger.

Last thing we need is them feeling like the police are breathing down their necks.

We've got enough bloody bodies on our hands as it is.

So I'm going to leave that with you, okay?

Deal with the mum.

I'm gonna stay here, see if we can get an I.D.

on the body.

Looks like we're gonna have to look into dental records.

Right, okay, get on with it, Jack, thank you.

Yeah.

Let me know if I can do anything else.

BELLAMY: Yeah, okay.

I've spoken to Detective Inspector Bellamy.

She thinks it's not a very good idea to do the press conference.

It was her idea.

She told me that...

I know, I know.

Why doesn't she think -- Why are we not doing it?

-Um... -It gets his face out there.

I've been sat in here for ages.

I could have been out there looking for him.

I just feel like you're not doing anything.

Why are we just sat in here?

I don't... Tracey, there are certain sensitive aspects of the investigation that we do not want to release to the public.

I want to do the press conference.

Tracey, we're not doing the press conference, okay?

That's the way it goes.

Jack, I need a word.

I've been made aware that the car tracker puts you at Edward Shaffer's before the I-call.

What the fuck is that about?

Because it is clear that you have been lying to me.

Why would you do that, Jack?

Hmm?

Um... Yeah, okay, listen, I went 'round to Edward Shaffer's house to apologize.

I wanted him to withdraw his complaint.

I knew that complaint was gonna make it much more difficult to convict him.

BELLAMY: The complaint wasn't the problem.

The lack of evidence was the problem.

You are a liar, Jack.

What do you want me to say?

[ Cellphone chimes ] I don't believe this.

-Charlie.

-Yeah?

-Pull up the news.

-Yeah.

He's been taken, and the police are doing nothing.

They said they'd have a press conference, and they've not had anything.

Okay, enough, enough.

I thought you were handling this.

There's no way I could have told her the press conference was canceled 'cause we found a dead kid in the cellar.

I just left this in your control.

This is not what I had in my mind.

This is not my fault.

-Well... -I'm sorry.

It's not my fault.

So I'll just do everything from now on?

-No, no.

-Is that the plan?

-You told me to do a job... -This was not difficult.

Tracey Gatting is waiting downstairs.

Great.

So I'll go and mop up after you, then.

What have you done to piss her off?

I thought I had made myself clear, Tracey.

[ Clears throat ] Well, I don't regret putting his face out on the news because then more people out there will be looking for him.

You said that that's what we're gonna do.

Exactly the point.

You said that's what we're gonna do, and then you just said, "Oh, no, we're not doing it anymore."

We we had our sights on the perpetrators.

Do you understand?

You have alerted people to it.

Unfortunately you've also alerted them to it, all right?

They are now running scared, all right?

There is panic in the air.

That's exactly the opposite of where I wanted to be at this point.

I didn't know because no one was telling me anything, though.

We have found the remains of a child, all right?

It is not André.

But he is in grave danger from the people that have abducted him.

Oh, God.

So I'm gonna be very clear now, because as I said before, my main aim is to bring him home safe and well.

-So... -That's my aim as well.

I just thought I was helping because I've been stuck in here for bloody ages!

Well, then, I'm gonna hold your hand, all right?

I'm gonna tell you exactly what to say because I'm gonna need a press release where you make a direct appeal for his safe return from his abductors.

Do you understand that much?

Yeah, that's all I wanted.

I'm sorry.

Right, so went through stolen vehicles from the last 36 hours.

What stands out for me is a blue van that went missing from an industrial unit about a half a mile from where Justin Marecroft lives.

So I have given the registration to the ANPR team.

If that pings for them at all, they're gonna call me.

WESTON: Okay, keep me posted on that.

STEELE: Yes, Sarge.

ANPR still don't have eyes on Justin's blue van, so I'm presuming he must be parked up somewhere.

Justin still hasn't turned on his mobile phone, but I have done an historic cell-site analysis of his phone when he was making the repeated calls to Edward Shaffer.

At that time, he was within 300 yards of Edward Shaffer's flat.

I think that's worth noting.

Also facial recognition have come back.

They have confirmed that Justin is definitely one of the abusers.

-Boss?

-Hmm?

We can't deal with the amount of phone calls coming off the back of your press release.

Listen, I've just pulled teams two and three to help us with the inquiries, so I've got everyone available out looking for André, and hopefully they'll get Justin as well.

The ANPR team just rang.

The blue van has been located on Tavit Street.

BELLAMY: Okay, great.

Let me know what happens.

I'll drive.

Sorry.

Left, left, left.

It's here, it's here, it's here.

Fucker.

Fucking stop!

Police!

Get up, get up.

This is an urgent interview.

This is an urgent interview.

Where's André?

Justin, fucking tell me!

Where's André?!

-Fuck off.

-Okay.

STEELE: There's nothing in the van.

Here for me please.

Got it.

Tell us where André is, or it's fucking over for you.

MARECROFT: Fuck off!

Close the fucker.

Where is André Gatting?

I told you before, I don't know who that is.

I don't know who you're talking about.

We found a body, the remains of a body, at your house, buried at your house.

Same thing happen to André?

You tell me.

Now, where is that little boy?

I've had to watch a movie that you've made.

I could never have imagined how disgusting something like that would be.

And it was made at your house, and André was in that movie.

Now, where is he?

Maybe something you do want to talk about is the true nature of your relationship with Edward Shaffer?

You were terrified that Edward might speak to the police about your little pedophile ring, and you needed to know if you should move André.

That's why you were so desperate to get in touch with him, isn't it?

I mean, isn't it?

That's the truth.

Thing is, I don't think he's got any idea what it's like to be in prison if you hurt kids.

They make a beeline for fuckers like you.

BELLAMY: They do.

Kid killers.

It's like fucking Christmas in there when you come in.

Seriously.

I suggest that you stop trying to protect other people and you stop trying to protect yourself.

You tell us where that boy is.

WESTON: Okay, fuck this.

Charlie, DNA evidence is in from forensics at the Edward Shaffer murder.

Justin's DNA all over the flat, the balcony, and Edward's clothing.

So he's the one that pushed him over.

Looks like you were right, then, boss.

Pedophile ring is turning on Edward in a bid to protect itself.

BELLAMY: I've got your DNA all over my crime site.

The site where Edward Shaffer died.

So you killed him.

I went in there to talk to him, to figure out what the hell we were gonna do.

When I got there, he was all stressed out after the argument with your Irish copper.

So I couldn't talk to him.

I couldn't get any sense out of him.

What do you mean, an argument?

When I turned up, your Irish boy was at the bins, and Edward saw him, went up to him and started shouting at him.

Both of them, they started having this argument.

And then your boy left.

I tried to calm him down.

He kept shouting.

I couldn't calm him down.

So you and Edward went up to his flat to avoid being seen.

Well, what, was he threatening you, or what was he doing?

He was just threatening to spill everything.

I didn't mean to kill him.

Whether you meant to kill him or not, you pushed Edward Shaffer off that balcony.

[ Sighs ] What about the boy in the basement?

He kept on shouting for his mummy.

BELLAMY: Justin's admitted to killing both Edward Shaffer and the boy in the cellar, but he won't tell us where André is.

Fucker.

It has been 48 hours since we know André was abused.

Okay, it's looking less and less likely that that kid is gonna be found alive.

Well, I would prefer to run this investigation as though we are looking for a boy who is still alive.

-Okay?

-Okay.

STEELE: Do you think he's dead?

Okay, first question -- What are these two guys doing together?

Okay.

Cheeky grab.

We know that Edward Shaffer's death came as a result of the pedophile ring closing in.

We know Justin Marecroft is part of that pedophile ring.

So is Tamsin part of the pedophile ring too?

Tamsin Shaffer.

How do you know her?

Tamsin.

She, uh -- She's married to Edward.

No shit, Sherlock.

Okay, but how do you know her?

Know her well enough to meet her on her own.

How come?

She called me up, wanted to meet, so... She thinks I fancy her.

As if I'd fancy her.

She's a bit old for you, isn't she?

Yeah.

WESTON: Is Tamsin Shaffer part of the pedophile ring?

She lives in a fucking dream world.

She has no idea what's going on right under her nose.

WESTON: I mean, do you expect us to believe that her husband's been abusing kids for years, and she knows nothing about it?

Can I come in?

Okay, from what you know of Tamsin at the dance academy, does that match with what Justin's saying, that she's weak and oblivious?

Women in this situation, they say they don't know what's going on, but this is about deep denial.

-[ Knock on door ] -Yeah?

Your press release, boss, kicked up a confirmed sighting of André Gatting in a park like about half a mile away from where Jeff Patterson last saw him.

CCTV's loading.

WESTON: Fuck.

BELLAMY: That's Tamsin Shaffer.

WESTON: We were right.

BELLAMY: She's the one who abducted André.

Yeah, we need urgent circulation on Tamsin Shaffer for child abduction.

Yes, and an all-ports call.

Thanks.

Bye.

You okay?

I had personally shown Tamsin Shaffer the way out of this station.

Fucking wicked work, Constable Steele.

Listen, we're not superhuman, okay?

It's easy with hindsight, isn't it?

Okay, so it seems that Tamsin Shaffer was indeed a member of the pedophile ring, making a nonsense of her claims that she knew nothing about what her husband was up to.

The full extent of her involvement is unclear, but at the very least she's a facilitator.

I have activated the live cell-site process for Tamsin Shaffer's mobile phone, the problem being that her phone is switched off.

With Justin Marecroft downstairs in custody and giving us nothing, Tamsin Shaffer is the key to finding André Gatting.

Tamsin Shaffer.

She's an active member of the pedophile ring that you work with.

I know that because I have CCTV showing Tamsin picking up André, abducting him from the park.

Where's Tamsin?

She's not at the dance academy.

She's not at the flat.

Hmm?

You don't want any more blood on your hands.

I know you don't.

Enough's enough, eh?

I've got an address where Tamsin might have André.

That's the van, right?

That's the Shaffers' van.

-STEELE: That's it, that's it, -WESTON: Okay.

Hello?

STEELE: André?

Is it open?

Is your side open?

WESTON: Yeah.

-STEELE: André?

-Charlie!

-STEELE: Yeah?

-Charlie!

-Hello?

-STEELE: Oh, Jesus!

-WESTON: Tamsin!

-STEELE: Tamsin?

WESTON: Okay, okay.

Up you get, up you get.

STEELE: This is D.C. Steele.

Urgent assistance required.

I need an ambulance to attend immediately.

I've got an attempted suicide in the garages under Lupin Street.

WESTON: Tamsin, tell me where André is.

STEELE: I've got a female bleeding profusely.

WESTON: Tamsin, tell me where the fuck André is.

Charlie, where's the ambulance.

I'm losing her, for fuck's sake.

-Have you seen anything yet?

-No!

Okay, split up.

Get every single one of these doors open, and just, oh, pray we're not too late.

André, it's the police.

Shout if you can hear us.

-Look, Sam if you -- -WESTON: Jesus.

Have you found André yet?

Charlie, have you found André yet?

STEELE: No!

WESTON: Tamsin, Tamsin, you're not dying on me.

Tell me what you've done with André.

STEELE: André!

André?

Jesus.

André!

André?

André, I'm a police officer, and I'm here to look after you, okay?

You're all right.

You're safe.

All right?

We're gonna take care of you.

Further ambulance required to the same location.

We have a second casualty.

MAN: Received.

What were you gonna do with him?

André.

What were you gonna do with him?

Nothing.

Just...

I picked him up, and... What do you mean, "Nothing"?

What were you gonna do with him?

-It just happened so fast.

-Where were you taking him?

I was just doing what I was told.

Justin told me that André was a problem.

I had to get rid of him.

André's not a problem.

André's a little boy.

-I know.

-Do you know?

Yeah.

You abducted him so your husband and his friends could rape him.

-Did you touch him?

-No.

No, I picked him up, and then I let him go.

I didn't want to hurt him.

I let him go.

I'm asking you, Tamsin, if you have ever indecently assaulted any child.

No!

I would never assault a child.

I would never touch a child.

I loved my husband.

I'm so sorry.

You've got to believe me.

Have you ever really, really loved someone so much that you'd do anything for them?

Shut the fuck up.

Don't appeal to me as a fucking woman.

I'm a mother, all right?

Those children have got to live with this.

They're still alive.

God, you make me sick.

You don't know anything about me.

And you don't know anything about Edward.

Or you would understand.

I understand that your husband was a pedophile and you made sure he had a ready supply of little boys and girls to rape and kill.

Wow.

You're a disgrace.

Get better soon.

'Cause we're going to be looking after you from now on, okay?

Thanks, Sarge.

Just so you know, we found André.

He's with his mum now.

Yeah, well, that's a relief.

STEELE: Yeah.

So, what?

What happens now, then?

Um, well, with regards to the burglary, I've sent off your file to the CPS.

I wrote it up as sympathetically as I could.

So you'll hear from that in due course.

Okay.

But what about me?

What about -- What about my job?

I don't see that there's much I can do.

Yeah, thank you, bye.

Thanks, Sarge.

BELLAMY: Central murder team have come back to me.

They've identified the dead child as an 11-year-old boy, Arthur Kombo.

Interpol think that he was trafficked into the UK from Africa.

We're liaising with international authorities.

Need to try and find the next of kin.

-WESTON: Great.

-STEELE: How's André?

He'll make a full recovery, but mentally it's a bloody nightmare, isn't it?

He and Tracey are gonna need a lot of support.

Right.

I would like to go to the pub and be considerably drunker than I am now.

-Yes.

-That's the way forward for me.

Charlie, that's fine.

You go to the pub.

Jack, come with me.

WESTON: Hey.

-Do me a favor.

-Yeah?

Um, apologize to me.

What do you mean?

Just -- Just show me what you look like apologizing.

"Sorry, boss."

Something like that.

-It's a game.

Just do it.

-Sorry, boss.

'Cause you weren't apologizing, were you, when you went to Edward Shaffer's?

And Justin was there to see that.

Okay, hang on, hang on.

Hang on.

When I went to Edward Shaffer's, I said, "Mr. Shaffer, I want to apologize for the way I've behaved.

I want to --" -No, you hang on.

-No, hang on a second.

No, you hang on, Jack, all right?

Don't try and hoodwink me because I can see through it because I know you, Jack, and I've been watching you fuck it up.

-I mean, are you stupid?

-No, I'm not stupid.

Let me describe a stupid cop to you.

A stupid cop would be somebody who would take a piece of incriminating evidence and bung it into the bin of the prime suspect.

Look, I di-- Listen, I know it's been a fairly fucking shit week for me, okay?

Well, it's been a much shitter week for me, Jack, all right?

I thought I was doing what needed to be done.

I've had to speak to the D.P.S.

I've had to pull a few fucking favors -- favors I was rather keeping for myself.

God, you are standing right on the fucking edge, and I have a bloody good mind to give you a shove instead of constantly holding your hand!

So H.R.

have said to me that you have six weeks holiday due.

I suggest that you take them.

Don't send me a postcard.

Finally.

I am dangerously sober.

Let's get to the pub.

No.

You were up for it a minute ago.

What's wrong?

Are you in trouble or something?

Ask the boss.
