All language subtitles for The.Bombing.of.Pan.Am.103.S01E03.1080p.10bit.WEBRip.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA

This programme contains
some strong language.

The discovery of these pallet parts
suggests strongly that a bomb

- was inside a piece of luggage.
- CAMERAS CLICK.

They lack experts that can examine
debris for signs of explosives.

Well,
why not use the Met's IRA team?

Maybe their relationship
with the Met

is as perfect as ours is
with the CIA.

This was an attack on America.

I want you to lead a US task force.

You'll be representing us

at the first international meeting
in Scotland.

- This is DCS Orr.
- Great to meet you, finally.

You think he's sharing
everything he has?

No chance.

I brought you some books,
some old comics...

It's a daft idea.
I'll take these all back.

No, it's... it's nice.

Thanks.

If it's not evidence, it'll go
back to the family, won't it?

We just don't have the manpower
to process it at the moment.

Which is why I was wondering if you
and your volunteers might step in.

You just tell us when we start.

We'll be there.

- Let's get on with it.
- Pallet AVE 4041,

where the bomb was held.

Contained luggage from both Heathrow
and Frankfurt.

We've got an incomplete picture
of the Frankfurt baggage.

The Germans are dragging
their feet...

Exactly. And that's why
we have requested

the luggage list
from Frankfurt Airport.

We don't have it.
I accept this is unfortunate.

Could the bomb have been
in Khaled Jaafar's luggage?

Not prepared to talk about
individual passengers at the moment.

But you are aware that the FBI has
just questioned Jaafar's father?

His driver's licence.
It was found with his body,

13:05 on the 22nd December,
Sector C.

We need to figure out
where his bags are.

- It's got to be his bag.
- And it's still in one piece.

- Jaafar's not the bomber.
- He's just a passenger.

And another victim.

We're sorry if we've caused
any additional... pain.

You will move on
to the next suspect.

But there's no moving on for us.

- We found this.
- What is it?

We'll have to get RARDE to look
at it, but it looks electronic.

The fact it came from inside the
pallet, blasting outwards...

It was either part of the bomb,
or next to it.

No appointment. But I know who put
the bomb on Pan Am 103...

BELL RINGS, DOG BARKS

RADIO CHATTER

Identification, please.

Thank you.

- This is from the shard that fell out of the bombed luggage pallet?
- Yes.

We at RARDE separated it out,
and this is the largest piece.

But the damage -
it looks clearer now.

Ultrasonic cleaning and
magnification

have made Production AG145
very revealing.

Multiple materials have been
fused together

by close proximity
to the blast event.

Meaning...?

Well, meaning this item wasn't just
in the suitcase with the bomb.

It WAS the bomb.

Or part of it, anyhow.

This is the reverse side.

- See the tracking pattern?
- That's a circuit board?

Yeah.

Bomb-makers tends to focus
on two things -

efficiency and disguise.

Find an electronic device with the
components you need, and adapt it.

This SRBP printed circuit board

is just of ordinary
commercially manufactured quality.

- From...?
- An item such as a radio.

You think the bomb was a radio?

Packed with explosives and a timer,
or a form of barometric switch.

That'll trigger the bomb once the
device reaches cruising altitude.

- Have you worked out the make and model?
- The exact model I don't know,

but two clues have led me
to the make.

The diagnostic diamond shape here,

and the legend visible in close-up -
"L106".

That combination of manufacturer ID
and diagnostic shape

points to a Toshiba radio.

Er, OK. Er, I can have my team
search Holmes

for any other radio-related debris.

Have you come across any bomb-makers
who use Toshiba radios?

Well, I believe there's one
in Germany.

Halt!

YELLING

GRUNTING AND GROANING

RAPID BREATHING

PHONE RINGS

- Hello?
- Mr Klink, DCS Orr here.

We need to know more about
Operation Autumn Leaves.

About the warning
that you issued to Interpol,

two months before our plane
went down.

And the man that you arrested -
Khreesat.

I doubt Operation Autumn Leaves
is of relevance to Pan Am 103.

It was a huge co-ordinated
operation,

arising from unrelated,
domestic terrorism concerns.

Yeah, we arrested Khreesat
and 16 others.

Mr Klink, the cell
that Khreesat made bombs for

has been on my analysts' radar
for some time.

The Popular Front for the Liberation
of Palestine General Command.

Widely thought to be funded by Iran.

They don't recognise Israel.
They hate all of its allies.

So a 747 full of Americans could
make sense as a target.

And Khreesat was making bombs
only three hours from Frankfurt.

We still believe that the bomb
was loaded in West Germany.

You have found evidence of a
Khreesat radio bomb in Lockerbie?

That's the kind of line of inquiry.

Can I ask you, what was the make and
model of that radio that you seized?

One moment.

Was a Toshiba BomBeat radio.

And, er, did you find
every bomb he made?

We don't know that.

But the radio was set to detonate
at cruising altitude.

So, if loaded in Germany, it would
explode before reaching London.

Unless it came onboard at Heathrow.

Our lab say that he could have
modified it with a timer.

- HE SIGHS.
- We still have the devices we seized.

We can re-examine them,

see if they have timers.

Mr Klink, we really need
to interview Khreesat.

Where are you holding him?

We did our part.

But a judge decided
insufficient evidence.

Are you saying you released him?

A few weeks before Lockerbie.

We believe he went back to Jordan.

This could be why Klink can't share
the luggage list.

The Germans are scared
they released the Pan Am bomber.

Right, have the profile boys
dig deep on Khreesat.

I'll get everything I can
from the FBI.

And find out if the shard
came from a BomBeat radio.

Hello...?

Hello? Are you still with me?

QUIET CHATTER

Are you Dick Marquise?

Yeah. Have we met before?

Kathryn Turman.
Senator Heinz's office.

- You've called me a couple times.
- I have.

- I haven't called you back.
- You haven't.

- Look, I do want to talk.
- Then it's great we're talking.

What do you do
for the senator again?

A senior staffer analysing policy
and advising on legislation.

How do you know so much
about this case?

Pat Noonan, do you know that name?

He was informed by Pan Am

that his daughter had
checked in to the flight,

and after that one phone call...

silence.

From Pan Am and
the State Department.

He kept calling, but no-one would
give him any information.

Mr Noonan knew Senator Heinz.

He called, I picked up.

Listen, back in Dallas,

I got involved
with victims' rights issues,

Children's Medical Center too.
You see a lot.

Not much compares to hearing
the voice of someone

who just lost their child.
So I thought, "Fuck this."

I told Mr Noonan that any of
the other families could call me.

- And they have.
- And how many families have you spoken to?

Several.
I'm meeting two more on Friday.

And they may be deep in grief,
but they are making change.

And they are pushing the White House
for action - and for answers.

Well, that's great. I mean, Pan Am
has really let those families down.

Well, so have your FBI.

Well, it's not the Bureau's
responsibility

to communicate with families.

Unless you mistake them
for suspects, like the Jaafars.

There is no victim liaison
person here.

Families have to travel to Scotland,
alone, to get any information.

This isn't just a comms mess.

It's a national disgrace.

Kathryn, we are closing in
on the bomb-maker.

All right? We are trying to prevent
further attacks, save lives.

That's what we're doing
for the families. That's our job.

Now, after the dust settles,
we can, er...

we can do an after-action, we can
try and improve the systems but...

You know... the thing about
after action reports

that I've always hated -
they are after the action.

They are past the point
when people actually needed us most.

So, the next time that I call you,
will you pick up?

Well, I guess I better give
you my direct line, huh?

Tomorrow I need you to focus

on gathering all the evidence
on radios.

Check for relevant debris.

Aerials, speakers, anything Toshiba.

Understood.

The FBI want to see everything
we've got.

I'm going to open a
satellite Holmes office

in Washington DC for them.

In return for...?

Fuller cooperation between us both.

How do you feel about going over
there in a few weeks?

Being our eyes in the FBI,

show them how to take advantage
of the system?

For how long?

Could be eight weeks.

Could be more.
I don't know, to be honest.

- Uh-huh.
- I know you've got young kids. I appreciate that.

Talk to your wife.

- Get back to me.
- Aye.

It's exciting! You can't not go.

Well, I'm leaving you
with the girls, though...

And you were all excited about
training as a driving instructor.

Don't put that on hold.

Mm, as long as I'm qualified
in time to teach our girls.

Anything to stop me doing it!

So how long would you go for?

Well...

a few months, possibly.

- That long?
- The FBI doesn't have a similar database, and...

Anyway, what they need is ours.

Yeah, I can handle a few months.

- Morning, Sandy.
- All right?

Eddie, what's this I'm hearing -
America...?

I mean, I'm delighted for you.

Oh, fuck off.
Not going to miss you either, pal.

Yeah, I can see you doing well
over there.

Land of opportunity.

All right, guys, come on.
Toshiba... Radio...

All terms are drawing a blank,
is that right?

- Nothing. - Aye.
- Sorry, DS McCusker.

Maybe we're looking at this wrong.

Aye, if it was blown to shite,

maybe Feraday's shard is
all that's left,

and there's no other radio debris.

How would you hide a radio
in a suitcase?

Maybe you'd want it to seem new.

Still be in its box.

416.

A gift, perhaps?

I've got 219 results here.

If new, it might come with a manual.

I think that's it, Sandy.

It's got to be at Dexstar.

- Hello? - How are you?
- Good, thank you.

SHE CLEARS THROAT

689...

Like Mr Orr said,
"If it isn't growing, pick it up."

BomBeat.

Toshiba. Same make as the bomb
found in Germany.

We need to update Orr.

We now have evidence that a Toshiba
two-speaker BomBeat radio

brought down the plane.

And we know a bomb-maker
who uses those Toshiba radios,

and his name is... Marwan Khreesat.

Current location unknown,

but the German BKA believe
he's back in Jordan.

Swissair 330.

Zurich to Tel Aviv. 1970.
A bomb killed everybody on board.

More than likely that Khreesat
was the bomb-maker,

as he was the bomb-maker-in-chief
for the Popular Front.

- And why's he not been in play lately?
- Unclear.

FBI thinks he left the cell
ten years ago.

He was reactivated for a big job.

If he made this bomb,

then more than likely his cell took
advantage of the weak security

at Frankfurt, and they slipped
it on to feeder flight 103A.

All this helps us pull together
another key investigative strand -

the type of suitcase
the bomber used.

27 pieces of hard-shell Samsonite
have been recovered so far.

All bear Cat 1 bomb damage,

and some have bits of paper
blasted into them.

We now think the paper could be
from the Toshiba BomBeat manual.

The manual and the radio bomb
were inside the Samsonite case.

We haven't been able to match it
to a passenger,

but Samsonite say the case is
from the Silhouette 4000 range.

Only 487 manufactured, and sold in
the Middle East and North Africa.

They would've been available
to Khreesat.

Other heavily damaged items at RARDE
include clothing

I'm convinced was also in the case
with the radio bomb -

a Babygro
and a pair of checked trousers.

OK. Pursue the clothing lead -

but the absolute priority
is finding Khreesat.

The CIA have good relationships
with the Jordanian intelligence.

If he's there,
they'll know about it.

Meanwhile, McCusker is setting up
the Holmes system with the FBI.

It's all part of it.

We share with the Americans,
they share with us.

Understood?

CHURCH BELL CHIMES

You left this letter at
the Vienna embassy, Mr Bollier?

True. Correct.

For what purpose?

Getting investigators off the wrong
track, and onto the right track.

Why not leave your name? Make it
easier for us to contact you?

Mm. Well... for reasons
of my own security.

You wrote that the CIA
should contact you

via radio traffic frequencies.

It's a clever idea, no?

You claimed to be a Libyan radio
officer with the signal corps.

Are you a Libyan radio officer
with the signal corps?

No. No. Definitely not.

Then why claim you were?

You also wrote that
your preferred code name

for us to contact you was "AGA",
and you'd call us "AGU".

Should we use the code in here?

We don't know who might be
listening.

What's the CIA deal on the Vienna
embassy tip-off?

Our agent says he's full nut-job.

And she's met some nut-jobs.

THEY CHUCKLE

What about Khreesat?

It feels like your agency has been
stonewalling us there.

Really? It's quite the opposite.

Sure, Gabe. Except the opposite
would be you HELPING us.

If you want our ten cents,
look to Iran.

Revenge for the incident last year.

By "incident", you mean a US naval
vessel shooting down Iran Air 655?

They didn't know it was
a passenger jet.

Oh! So we're handing out points
for stupidity now. OK.

The US had already lost one frigate.
They thought we were under attack.

And now we are.

Gabe, our intelligence tells us
that Khreesat has ties to Iran.

You know he does.

I just reviewed an NSA intercept -

Iran wired ten million
to the Popular Front.

I mean, that could've funded this
whole operation.

Our enemies are communicating
better than we are.

- You look tired, Dick. Lot of vacation days saved up, huh?
- Yeah.

I'd imagine your CIA knows that,
just like everything else.

Look, Khreesat made Toshiba
radio bombs in Germany.

I need your help
getting in front of Khreesat now.

There are things we can't do, Dick.
The US-Jordan relationship is...

Sensitive, I know, but I need to be
in front of that bomb-maker

- for an hour. - Could be a wasted trip.
- Better than an unexplored lead.

Unless you want the next attack
to be down to the CIA?

All right.
If you're set on going to Jordan,

despite my counsel, I'll try.

So...

America, eh?

- Been before?
- No.

No, I've... I've not travelled much,
mate.

My brother, David,
he's planning to travel.

You know, see the world.

- If he can.
- Aw, good.

Look, mate, I...

I got you a wee present.

Seeing as though I won't be there
on the day. Open it. Go on.

Daley Thompson's Olympic Challenge.

Supposed to be a good one.

I saw the Harleys have got a ZX.

Yeah, I was...

never really into games.

That's more David and Joanne, but...

I'll love this, I reckon.

Happy birthday, mate.

Happy 15th.

Here's the last of her clothing.

Thank you.

Cheers.

We've got this wee necklace too.

Oh, and this.

It's just a ticket stub.

A show she went to see in London.

But it's hers.

- Should we add it?
- If it means something to the family, it goes in.

We don't decide what matters.
That's for them.

Don't go getting soft
on us now, hen.

Are you calling me soft?!

- Afternoon.
- Afternoon. - Hello.

- Is that one for me?
- Aye. To take with you to America.

These are the only belongings
matched to her,

along with the photos
from the photo team. Are they ready?

- Yes, they are.
- They did a good job, eh?

Developing all the rolls
that were found?

It's been vital
for the ID process, aye.

They're for the families now.

That's a lovely touch.

Something from Lockerbie.

From the land.

Lose a few volunteers?

Few dropouts.

It's been tough for some folk.
But we'll keep at it.

- Right.
- Good luck.

Thank you.

- I'll be back before you know it.
- Well...

I'll just miss
your washing-up skills.

You can keep a tally
for when I'm home.

Eyes open, yeah? Stay alert.

OK, girls...

Wish me luck
in the land of opportunity.

Be good for your mum.

GIRLS GIGGLE

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Bye!
- Love you.

So, what are the next steps
for your team?

I want to blow up a plane.

I'd rather you didn't.

Well, it doesn't have to be
a whole 747.

Just pallets, identical to the ones
we know held the radio bomb.

Pan Am can provide them.
Lost luggage.

What would test explosions achieve?

Well, before? Nothing.
But we know the device now.

We buy Toshiba BomBeat radios,
pack 'em with Semtex,

put 'em in parts of the pallet
that held the Frankfurt bags,

then we can confirm the bomb was
loaded at Frankfurt, not Heathrow.

Blast pattern analysis? I mean,
the variables can be massive - no?

Well, it's a long shot,

but if it works, we'll know where in
the world this bomb came on board.

It's the next-best thing
to the luggage list -

- and a bridge-builder to the Scots.
- That could help

while we're gathering intelligence
on the bomb-maker.

The CIA still silent about Khreesat?

Yeah. Yeah, I put in an official
request for help.

Spies always know more
than they say.

Yeah.

And the bomb tests...?

Your budget, not mine.

DS McCusker?

Yes. Oh!

- That you?
- Yeah.

How you doing? How was your flight?

Good.

Just toss it in.
I'll grab your bag.

- Just hop in the back there.
- OK.

- Detective Sergeant McCusker?
- Yes. - Phil Reid.

- Special Agent here.
- Ah! - Flight OK? Hotel?

Er, brilliant, yeah.
I, er, don't want to go back home!

Did you check behind the mirror yet?
We bugged the place.

It's standard.

Oh...

REID CHUCKLES

I know you guys like a joke.

- Right?
- Oh! Yeah.

- Let's get you signed in.
- Er, DS Ed McCusker.

So the Holmes room
will be off my office.

If you want to give us a
presentation on how it all works...

Maybe tomorrow? I'm conscious
we have the bomb tests next week.

- Right.
- Would be good to spitball some ideas before then.

- Your pass, sir.
- OK, thank you.

- Thanks, Dawn. Let's get you comfortable.
- OK.

She's just through here.

- Kathryn Turman. Glad to meet you.
- Bob Monetti.

- Hi. - Joe Horgan. We spoke on the phone.
- I remember.

It's great to meet you in person.
Let's sit down.

Here.

- It's... not easy getting hold of anybody in this town.
- I know.

So, you're lobbying the White House

to set up a President's Commission
to look at aviation security?

We'd love Senator Heinz's support.

And you're doing this as part of...?

Victims Of Pan Am Flight 103.

There's a growing number of us
families now.

Yossi Langotsky's security firm gave
Pan Am a report two years ago.

It warned the airliner
was vulnerable

to midair explosive charges
in the cargo.

He told them the fact no disaster
had occurred yet

was merely providential.

It's an industry-wide issue.

We want to stop other families
going through

what we've... experienced.

Well I've...
I've spoken to the senator.

We would happily help you all figure
out specific airline safety asks.

Areas that a commission
could look at.

Well, item 1 -
more rigorous X-ray screening.

Item 2 - adequate airport
security-staff training.

And 3 - a full review
of FAA warning systems.

You've clearly done
a lot of work already.

So what I would say is that
it's the human stories

that get senators and
congressmen to cross the aisle.

So if there's anything that
I can also share about your loss...

Would journalists be involved?

Absolutely not - no.

Ah.

A journalist tricked
Syracuse University

into giving our phone number.

That's how we found out
our son had died on the plane.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, but... everyone's story
is different.

Yeah, I mean, er...

I travelled to Lockerbie.

Ah, my brother-in-law, Mikey.
I brought him home.

I... I met a detective there,
a DS McCusker.

He's a good guy. I believe
he's actually in DC right now.

- You should meet him if you can.
- I'll do that.

The Scottish are trying.

Coffins are sent off
with dignified bagpipe ceremonies.

But here...

families have to collect them
themselves.

Wrapped in dirty cardboard.

From airport livestock cargo areas.

You have kids?

Not yet.

It's just me.

This is, er, my son's journal.

It was, um...

it was cleaned. Some volunteers
do that in Scotland. Um...

Rick, er...

he wrote a bit of wisdom here
from his first 20 years.

Er, "Read the sports section first.
The news can wait."

THEY CHUCKLE SOFTLY

He was enjoying London.

He wrote here, a few days before
he died, um...

"Do all you can while you can.
Life is a one-time deal.

"There is no reason
to hold anything back."

I'm going to do everything
that I can to help.

Thank you.

CHATTER

HE CLEARS THROAT

So, er, access to the Holmes
evidential database

will provide a window...

into the investigation.

After my secondment ends,

another Holmes specialist will
come in to man it.

We can't man it ourself?

A Scottish detective
will always be the person

physically managing the database,
to ensure total accuracy.

You don't think we can be accurate?

Guys, look.

I've got no doubt
you know how to do your job.

That was never in question here.

What matters is accuracy
to the specific standards

of Scottish evidence-handling laws.

Now, I can help you search through
every clue found in Scotland.

Every finding from the bomb tests
we're about to jointly conduct -

it can all be inputted, along with
interviews with our bomb-maker,

when we all manage to access him.

The beauty of Holmes is that each
part communicates with the next.

It is a team system.

And the feeling that we have now -
and hopefully you share -

is that if we solve this case...

we will solve it together.

LIFT DINGS

- Kathryn Turman?
- The detective work begins.

Thanks for responding to my message.

Sorry, I've read a lot
about this building.

It's... It's quite something.

Guess so.

I need to get out from under it.
Fresh air?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Joe Horgan spoke highly of you.

And I know the FBI visited too.
Was it Dick Marquise?

Lockerbie... Yeah, he has.

You know, my sense
is his heart's in the right place,

if he can find it under his suit.

When we found out
it couldn't have been Jaafar,

then we were back to square one.

Taking that news back to his boss
couldn't have been easy for Dick.

No, but it's nothing

compared to what the Jaafar family
have been through.

No, no, I'm sure.

Did you know that Nazir Jaafar is
bringing the first civil claim

against Pan Am?

- No, I didn't.
- Cost-cutting, inadequate security.

If he loses, he'll be bankrupt.

And if he wins?

America's biggest airline fails.

But they already failed,
didn't they?

Are you meeting with families
regularly?

Over here, yes.

I've belongings to return
to a family in Upstate New York...

- Mm-hm.
- ..this week. There's a...

group back in Scotland
cleaning victims' possessions.

I heard.

And I wish the powers that be
would take that kind of care here.

Actually, in our case, it was just a
few individuals who showed up and...

got on with it.

So... what's, er...
what's your background?

My background?
Um, I started as a volunteer

at Dallas Children's Medical Center.

Tough work?

Meaningful work.

First job I loved.

Taught me what matters.

- Morning.
- Morning.

KNOCKS AT DOOR

DOGS BARK

Hello! Hello! Hello!

All right, you've said hello!
Come on! In!

This is DS Gay. Sandy.
And this is Mia.

Hi. Hello.

- Over from America, yeah?
- Yes.

Mrs Shearer has been so welcoming.

I'm here with my mother.

She's still in shock, but wants
to see where her daughter fell.

Anything you need, I'm here.

We should get your mum.

Yes.

I'll wait here.

This is it?

- Where she fell?
- Aye.

Ma, aqui fue donde ella cayo.

THEY SOB

Tranquila. Tranquila.

You were on duty, that first night?

Do you remember much?

I remember everything.

Yeah, a colleague of mine, friend,
says that my memory's an asset.

Even if it doesn't always feel
that way.

Que hermoso.
Me alegro de que cayera aqui.

She says she's glad her youngest
daughter fell here.

That it's beautiful.

This part of the world.

Yeah, it really is.

I forget that sometimes.

Boss.

Look at this clothing label.

It was separated from the checked
trousers -

- but there's a wee bit of fabric still attached.
- Yorkie trousers?

- That's a brand?
- UK companies I've found called Yorkie...

- Are there not any clothing manufacturers?
- No.

But there's the chocolate bar,
Yorkie.

I know -
but maybe they make clothes.

- For promotions, or whatever...?
- If it's a lead, we follow it, yeah?

KEYS RATTLE

Hi, it's Ed McCusker from Scotland.

Ah, welcome.
We appreciate you making the trip.

McCusker.

Brief us.

- Hotel sorted. Luggage pallets?
- Yeah. Yeah. Everything's in hand,

ready for the bomb tests.
FBI have been OK.

- Communicative, actually.
- Oh, well, that makes a change.

- That was my experience with Tom.
- Yeah.

Don't get sucked in by the power.

The FBI still hasn't got us access
to Khreesat.

Dick Marquise is telling Orr
the CIA needs more time.

This is us against everybody.

DCI Bell can't solve the Yorkie
trouser mystery and is unamused.

Even sent some of the boys to go
and inspect Yorkie chocolate bars.

I've a team looking into
international manufacturers now.

Those trousers bear
serious fucking bomb damage.

This is where I learned the art
of bomb scene investigation.

We've all got a lot riding on this.
Are we all on the same page

- in terms of plan?
- Yep.

Radio bombs are made, and that
little bunker will keep us safe.

You're putting us in there?

Our objective is to recreate
the blast hole and skid rail damage.

And establish
if a Toshiba BomBeat radio bomb

in a bag loaded at Frankfurt
could've caused it.

And if Khreesat was the bomber.

Science has no interest in who
your latest suspect is or isn't.

- Er, these radios - are they already loaded?
- Yeah. Semtex.

Try them in different positions,

consistent to where
the Heathrow handlers say the...

the Frankfurt bags were.

The areas at the front
and top of the pallet.

And if we can only recreate
the real damage elsewhere?

Well, then the bomb didn't come
from Khreesat,

it was checked in at Heathrow.

And we're back to square one,

but at least we'll know.

Scenario one - Frankfurt bags,
upper middle-right position.

Three. Two. One.

Roof exploded but skid rail intact.

The blast hole isn't a match at all.

Let's move bags and try again.

Scenario two - also Frankfurt.

This one,
right in the middle of the pallet.

No blast penetration
through the pallet wall

and the skid rail still intact.

I don't get it -
how's that possible?

The blast must have been cushioned
by other bags in that spot.

OK, so if the suitcase with the bomb
just happened to be placed there...

The passengers might have survived.

The bomb plot had to be complex -
but it also relied on blind luck.

Let's try a case
at the bottom of the pallet,

where the London cases where loaded.

Scenario number three was even
further off.

This is a Frankfurt bag. I know it.

Let's position the next one
front left, near the overhang.

Nearer to the skin of the pallet.

- Well?
- That's it! That's the shot!

The blast hole is almost identical.

The skid rail too. This proves the
bomb came on at Frankfurt.

Looks like science likes our working
theory after all, huh?

Need some help there, Allen?

SQUELCHING

Oh, right, that's made a right mess.

LAUGHTER

Oh, my God!

Oh, look.

- Excuse me.
- I warned you! It's all about technique.

Always follow the advice
of local law enforcement!

Here.
Shall I get us another round in?

- Mm-hm.
- Yeah.

I'll give you a hand.

My father loved this place.

Oh, yeah?

Also an FBI agent.

Also named Dick.

Well, that's easy to remember!

Did he pass along any wisdom?

Yeah. Yeah, he did.

He used to say, er...

He used to say victims don't need
sympathy - they need justice.

- You don't agree?
- Er, I... I'm not sure.

Is there not room for both?

Did you always want to be an agent?

No, not until I was... 19?

Yeah, there was a bombing
in Wisconsin.

Sterling Hall case.

The fact that terrorists had killed
an innocent civilian on US soil...

just got under my skin.

I thought if I could be some small
part, catching people like that,

stopping them from ever doing it
again, then...

be a pretty good use of a life.

That, and the gun
and the badge are pretty cool.

What about you?

Er, when I joined the force...

I imagined I'd be on the world's
biggest cases every day.

Here you are.

What was the Bureau like
when you started?

Different.

There was a lot of noise about
international terrorism, but now...

now it's actually here.

And we're reliant on the CIA
to help us fight it.

Has there been any progress
accessing Khreesat?

No. No, not yet.

America's President
George Bush vowed today

to act against the Pan Am bombers.

Seek hard,

and punish... firmly, decisively,

those who did this,
if you can ever find them.

- Marquise. - Gabe.
- Congratulations on your bomb tests.

We got you access
to the Jordanian bomb-maker.

- You can fly to Amman immediately.
- Thank you.

- Thank you, Gabe. This is...
- Share nothing with the Scots.

US Security clearance only.

- Is that a problem...?
- No.

Jordanian secret service
are an important ally in the region,

and whatever intel they choose
to share with you on Khreesat

may be very sensitive.
So, bear that in mind.

- All right. Goodnight.
- 'Night.

PHONE RINGS

- Orr.
- Mr Orr, do you have a minute?

Mr...

DOOR CLOSES

Mr Klink...?

Everything OK?

One of our agents from the Khreesat
operation, Hans-Jurgen Sonntag.

You met him,
at the International meeting.

Yes. Yes. I remember him, mm-hm.

He was one of the agents
re-examining the Khreesat devices.

And...

One exploded. It killed him.

How did that happen?

We think a screw at the side
of the radio device was loose,

and his screwdriver must have
touched it,

and that was enough to detonate it.

Another agent was with him -
seriously injured.

But alive, thank God.

Khreesat has killed another person.
One of my own men.

And your bomb tests appear to show

the case with the bomb
was loaded here, in Germany.

There were pressures here, you know.

To be ahead of the story.

But I've now ordered another search
for the luggage list.

A complete account of every bag that
went on that plane in Frankfurt.

I'm really sorry for your loss,
Mr Klink. I really am.

And I appreciate the... the effort
you're making

to find the luggage list.

Thanks for the call.

Thank you.

- Good afternoon.
- Hi.

Dick Marquise, FBI.
This is Ed Marshman.

All of us in Jordanian intelligence

want to make sure you have
everything you need.

Presumably your CIA
has fully briefed you?

You feel happy to go directly
into the interview?

Absolutely.

Marwan Khreesat,

let me tell you
some of the things we know.

We know that you built a radio bomb

that was seized by the BKA
on October 26th.

We know that a very similar bomb
was responsible

for bringing down Pan Am 103.

And we just replicated blast
damage from an area in the hold

that we know held luggage
that you and your associates

could have placed
on the plane in Germany.

So, now, why don't you tell us
what you know?

I made Toshiba BomBeat bombs
for organisation.

That much is true.

Tell us about the radios.

I bought five
Toshiba BomBeat radios.

And these radios ended up
in Germany?

Yes. BomBeat 453.

One-speaker models.

What about other models
in the same line?

You mean the two-speaker models? No.

- Who authorised the devices?
- Ahmed Jibril.

I think he had a plan
for an Israeli airliner.

One of the devices was found in
the car when the BKA arrested us -

- but this device was harmless.
- Harmless? - Yes.

No, the devices aren't harmless -
one of them just killed a BKA agent.

Well, I'm sorry, bombs kill people -
is that news to you?

I never armed the bombs I made.

Well, not recently.

Jibril's other men could have.

Speak freely, Marwan.

They may not have been told
everything.

Wait a minute.
How well do you two know each other?

I left the group in 1973.

I came back to Amman and I open
an electronics store for customers.

And then?

And then, a few years ago, Agents
from the police in Jordan visited me

and I was asked to re-enter
the Popular Front in Germany,

- and become a mole. Informant.
- Wait, wait, wait.

Are you telling me that for
the last several years,

this man has worked undercover
for you?

That he's not actually a member
of the Popular Front?

What, he's just posing
as a terrorist?

He was a real bomber,
but we turned him.

You put this known murderer
to work?! You authorised him!

Do you understand that one of his
devices just killed 270 people?!

- 271!
- No.

Please hear what he has to say.

I had a choice - to become a mole,
or see my family suffering.

- And so...?
- So I went back to Germany

and I fed information back here -
perhaps to your CIA.

None of my radios did this.
I only make barometric detonators.

A radio device just like yours.

- "Just like"? - Yeah.
- Define "just like".

- Perhaps all radios, like us, look the same to you?
- No, no, no.

You put a detonator in a box.
OK? You don't get to tell us...

I needed space.

And this is why I used
the one-speaker model - BomBeat.

It's taller.

I'm not your man.

But those copy cat bomb-makers...

Those that prefer two-speaker
models, or timers...?

When a product succeeds,

it is copied by all freedom fighters
around the world.

"New talent,"
you Americans say, right?

But it's always coming
through cracks.

Cracks which American policy makes
in other people's lands.

You think you're ahead of them.

Trust me, they are ahead of you.

Dick...

Dick, listen,
there's a chance that it's still...

He's a murderer, but he's not
our murderer! And the CIA knew!

That's why Lepley advised us
not to come down here.

Didn't want to be the one
to blow his cover.

We are trying to crack this case

with one hand tied behind
our fucking backs.

Meanwhile the guys
who actually did it

are out there planning
the next attack.

So you're telling me Khreesat
was a false lead all along...

but you can't tell me
how you know?

Well, look, we're still further
along than we were.

And we now know the device -
the suitcase - thanks to your work.

OK. We'll talk about this later.

It's coming through.

It's the Frankfurt list.

PHONE RINGS

Fiona, it's almost bedtime.

Lynne, please, can you just help her
with her toys?

- Hello?
- June? June, is that you?

Er... Oh, it's got to be bath time.

- I'm sorry if...
- No, no! How's it going? - Good.

Yeah, good.

I'm, er...

I miss you, a lot.

But keeping busy.

Spent a good bit of time
with Dick Marquise

and the rest of the Lockerbie team.
It's all happening here.

So, I was...

I was wondering today,
just... just spitballing...

Sorry, "spitballing"...?

How about getting you all out here
for a bit? I could speak to Orr.

Someone's got to be here
to man Holmes, long term.

They might... they might sort a flat
for a bit...

We'd be together.

Big...

Team McCusker.

Eddie...

you've been there two minutes.

It's not reality.

We live in Scotland.
And I happen to love it.

So, I'm sorry, you'll forgive me
if I don't pack all my bags,

along with my plans?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Of course.

Double check this one,
this one, this one.

Don't... don't worry about this.
And these three...

How's it going?
What's this - "KM180"?

Germans sent through
the luggage list.

Pan Am flight 103A was carrying

seven pieces of interlined luggage.

- Hold luggage transferred between airlines.
- I've got that son, aye.

- So...?
- One of the cases, unaccompanied by a passenger,

started its journey
on flight KM180.

Malta to Frankfurt.

The bomb came from Malta?

There's more.

We discovered a Yorkie Trading
Company in Malta, making clothes.

Sorry, Harry,
you're back on a plane.
