Correct.
D-I RAPSEY: What was his view?
DSS FARADAY: I don’t recall him offering a view.
D-I RAPSEY: Did he disagree?
DSS FARADAY: I don’t recall that he offered an opinion.
D-I RAPSEY: What if Inspector Scully says that he made it clear to you that he strongly opposed waiting for Lefroy to dispose of the heroin and wanted to…?
DSS FARADAY: He did not.
D-I RAPSEY: So he’d be lying?
DSS FARADAY: Draw your own conclusions.
D-I RAPSEY: Moving on. Howard Lefroy’s flat. Visual contact?
DSS FARADAY: Three windows. Only the dining room blinds were left open at night.
D-I RAPSEY: And audio?
DSS FARADAY: All rooms except the hall. Sitting room was weak. Had been for a couple of days.
D-I RAPSEY: Why didn’t you fix it?
DSS FARADAY: Too risky. Too close.
D-I RAPSEY: Too close to what?
DSS FARADAY: The pick-up.
D-I RAPSEY: There was going to be a pick-up at Lefroy’s place?
DSS FARADAY: According to my information.
D-I RAPSEY: Source?
DSS FARADAY: I had information.
INSP. PAYNE: Answer the question, Mac.
DSS FARADAY: Lefroy’s woman, Carlie Mance.
D-I RAPSEY: She was a registered informant?
DSS FARADAY: No. I believed registering my informant would endanger her.
D-I RAPSEY: You going to stick with this line?
DSS FARADAY: Yes, sir.
D-I RAPSEY: We’ll come back to it. Believe me, we’ll come back to it. Moving on. So Lefroy had five kilos of heroin in the flat and you were waiting for someone to come along and collect it?
DSS FARADAY: That’s correct.
D-I RAPSEY: How long were you going to wait?
DSS FARADAY: As I said before, I had reason to believe that we didn’t have long to wait.
D-I RAPSEY: How long had you been waiting?
DSS FARADAY: It’s on record.
D-I RAPSEY: Tell me.
DSS FARADAY: Two days.
D-I RAPSEY: According to Inspector Scully, you initially informed him that the pick-up would take place within four days of the heroin’s arrival at Lefroy’s flat. Is that correct?
DSS FARADAY: Yes.
D-I RAPSEY: How did you know?
DSS FARADAY: Informant.
D-I RAPSEY: Ms Mance? The unregistered informant?
DSS FARADAY: Correct.
D-I RAPSEY: We’ll revisit this. Moving on. Let’s talk about the night.
DSS FARADAY: This’ll be the third time.
INSP. PAYNE: Don’t be an arse, detective. You’re in serious trouble here. This isn’t about dry-cleaning on the house or free screws.
D-I RAPSEY: What time did Ms Mance arrive?
DSS FARADAY: Just before Howie went for his walk. Around noon.
D-I RAPSEY: What did they talk about?
DSS FARADAY: The usual. Nothing. Howie didn’t talk business to her.
D-I RAPSEY: So how did she know his business?
DSS FARADAY: She didn’t. All she knew was that the pick-up was going to be at Howie’s.
D-I RAPSEY: So Howard’s on his walk? What then?
DSS FARADAY: Dennis rang. Said he was coming around. Eight-thirty sharp.
D-I RAPSEY: You were listening?
DSS FARADAY: It sounded like Dennis. It still sounds like Dennis.
D-I RAPSEY: Dennis been to Howard’s place before? DSS
FARADAY: Not while we were on him, no.
D-I RAPSEY: Didn’t think it strange Dennis suddenly decides to visit Howard?
DSS FARADAY: They’re brothers. Their mother needs to go into a home and she doesn’t want to. Howie takes her side. Dennis is on the phone to Howie for weeks trying to talk him round and he’s getting nowhere. No, I didn’t think it was strange he wanted to see Howie.
INSP. PAYNE: Your people made a positive ID of Dennis when he showed up?
DSS FARADAY: Good as they could. Mackie knew him. His car. Tinted glass. We took pictures. We’ve enhanced them. Looks like him.
INSP. PAYNE: But they didn’t get a good look at him.
DSS FARADAY: They saw him for about thirty seconds. He drove up, the garage door opened, he drove in.
D-I RAPSEY: Opened?
DSS FARADAY: It’s a high-security building. You need a remote control with your own code to open the garage door. Or someone in the building can press a button and open it.
D-I RAPSEY: So someone was watching for Dennis?
DSS FARADAY: They knew when to expect him.
D-I RAPSEY: Who
D-I RAPSEY: What was his view?
DSS FARADAY: I don’t recall him offering a view.
