This programme contains some strong language and scenes which some viewers may find upsetting
I think we're delayed.
- Sorry, darling. - No, we'll be together before you know it.
- Thank you, Mr Doyle. Have a restful flight. - Thanks.
You sure they said, "Explosion"?
They said it. I'm just not sure they meant it.
- Lockerbie. Where is that? - It's a small town down the A74.
About an hour away.
Hey, lad, you can't be here!
I can't leave. It's my home!
Is everything OK?
Look, have you seen the news?
We just want to know what's happened to our son.
It's Tim. It's Tim Burman.
We don't think that anyone has come through this.
The fall was 30,000 feet.
We estimate there's 250 passengers still out there.
The evidence is in Scotland,
but 190 victims are American.
If this was an attack against US citizens, it would be unprecedented.
Do the Scots have the black box?
We need to piece together the audio of the plane's last few minutes.
I need to find out if this was an accident or if it was a bomb.
That loud, thin noise is the final recorded cockpit sound.
Pilot never saw it coming.
Blackening, scorching...
What are you thinking?
I think someone bombed this plane out the sky.
This was an act of war...
and now we have to find out who we're fighting.
On both sides of the Atlantic,
people are still coming to terms with the scale
of the Lockerbie air crash.
But amid the grief, there is much debate in America
over a specific warning of terrorist action
against Pan Am flights from Europe.
That warning was circulated to American embassies and airlines.
And if Pan Am employees are also given sufficiently strong warning
for them to change their own flight plans,
why weren't the passengers told?
Nazir Jaafar?
Yes?
Do you have anything to say about your son's involvement
in the bombing of Pan Am 103?
No, no. I'm sorry. No.
- You're sorry about what he did? - No, that's not what I meant.
You support his actions, then?
No! Please, just go.
No problem. I'll go ask your wife.
Do not speak to her!
I'm Agent Reid.
That man is threatening my family.
- Excuse me? - He's going to my house. My wife is grieving.
Sir, I'm Agent Phil Reid from the FBI.
"FBI"?
I need to talk to you about your son Khaled.
Er... OK.
OK, can we have some quiet here, please? Thank you.
First of all, I want to extend my thanks
to the courageous men and women
who have worked around the clock,
over Christmas and New Year,
in this, the biggest crime scene in history.
So far, we have recovered 252 bodies.
18 remain unaccounted for.
But then we're dealing with an 850-square-mile search area.
Here to explain the air accident team's findings
is Mick Charles of the AAIB.
CLEARS THROAT
Recently, two pieces of damaged metal
have been discovered in the countryside surrounding Lockerbie -
both blast-damaged, both bearing explosive residue
and both, we believe, from the inside of a luggage pallet.
This is an intact luggage pallet,
where passenger baggage is held.
On a commercial flight, such as PA103,
there are usually about 26 of them.
The discovery of these pallet parts...
suggests strongly
that a bomb...
GASPS AND CLAMOUR
was inside one of them
and, therefore, most likely inside a piece of luggage.
Does this mean the bomber was a passenger?
That's the current focus of enquiries, yes.
It's been reported that, on December 5th,
an anonymous call to the US Embassy in Helsinki
warned that a bomb would be put on a Pan Am flight.
Why weren't the public warned?
My current understanding
is that there are a number of these kind of warnings,
but it's not always clear which ones to take seriously.
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?
I'm sure the FBI will be interviewing
a great many of the victims' families.
Well, aren't you leading the investigation, Mr Orr?
Yes, I am leading this investigation...
but the FBI have specialisms
in limited areas
that we are very grateful for.
Specialisms that you don't have?
21 countries have lost citizens in this attack...
so, inevitably, it will require an international effort.
In fact, very soon,
we will be having
our first international meeting,
with investigators from the FBI and a host of other countries...
where we will be sharing information and making progress.
We will have further updates for you then, but that's all for now.
Thank you.
REPORTERS SHOUT
PHONES RING
Well-handled in there, DCS Orr.
The Jaafar business catch you off-guard?
Door.
Did you know the FBI were questioning Jaafar's family?
Did you?
No.
No, I was as surprised as you.
Any idea why they'd be taking a closer look at him?
Well, the press picked up on him because he's Middle Eastern.
Please tell me that's not enough for the FBI.
No. One would hope not.
What have you got, then? Anything?
I have the bare minimum.
20 years of age, Lebanese-born, American Muslim.
Boarded connecting Flight 103A from Frankfurt to Heathrow.
If the FBI are looking into him,
then they're not sharing something.
So, you don't trust the FBI,
yet you keep an FBI explosives expert here
instead of my counter-terror specialists?
Tom Thurman's good. He does his job.
Look, DCS Orr, you and your team are doing an incredible work
gathering all this evidence,
but what this case needs is intelligence,
and that's what we receive in London.
All right, and then so...
what are you hearing? Any links?
Islamic Jihad?
Palestinian ANO? What?
Ah, so you know exactly as much as I do, which is nothing.
Look, you must admit, my team has the expertise here.
We can help. Let us take over the Jaafar enquiries.
We're more used to talking to the CIA and FBI.
- "Take over"? - Hmm.
Scottish soil, Scottish evidence,
Scottish procedure.
And I don't need intelligence to tell me that.
Ladies, smashing job you're doing here in the typing pool.
Look lively.
I need everything you've got on passenger Jaafar.
Khaled Jaafar, seat 53K.
Pan Am passenger manifest said he'd two hold bags.
- Any sign of them? - No.
As far as I recall,
there's only one item currently linked to him in Holmes.
This is it. His driver's license.
It was found with his body. 13:05 on the 22nd December.
Sector C.
We need to figure out where his bags are.
Thing is the thing - FBI, Anti Terror,
they can have all the intelligence they want,
but nothing beats fucking evidence.
I'll get this shared with the team.
Good recall, McCusker.
- So you're Glasgow-based, aren't ye? - Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, my driver's exhausted, so...
might have to come to you now and again for a lift. That OK?
- Course. Any time. - Good.
"Course. Any time."
PHONE RINGS
This is Dick Marquise.
Mr Marquise.
Mr Orr.
Hi, how are you?
Why wasn't I informed that the FBI had interviewed.
Khaled Jaafar's parents?
Well, I mean, my agents visited a number of families.
That's standard protocol.
I take it wasn't random that they were prioritised for a visit.
No, not entirely.
We just found out that he visited Lebanon recently.
And you didn't think that was worth sharing with us?
Look, I'm sorry, but it really just came in.
We've got a lot of moving pieces here, so...
What did you get from the visit to the family?
Nothing.
Nothing, unfortunately.
So, all you have on him is that he recently visited Lebanon?
For now, yeah.
Well, when you get more...
you keep me informed...
- OK? - Of course.
- Of course. And, Mr Orr, I'm so... - CALL DISCONNECTS.
Hello?
Sorry, got caught up on the phone with Orr.
He's not happy with us.
Why not?
Well, he thinks we're holding back intel on Jaafar.
Well, he's on the money, then.
That's not exactly the level of investigation the Scots are used to.
We can't risk leaks.
So what is the new intelligence on Jaafar?
Jaafar visited the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon.
It's not much of a tourist destination.
No, but it's full of terrorist training camps.
You think Hezbollah recruited him?
Well, I didn't...
until one of my analysts found this.
CIA surveillance shot of a low-level terrorist in Germany last year,
part of a Hezbollah feeder cell.
We didn't have a name for him, but now we think it might be Jaafar.
I could see that.
Plus, we think... Jaafar's mother is a first cousin
of Hafez al-Assad - very pro-Palestinian Syrian President.
And also... Jaafar was observed in passport control
by a Pakistani passenger -
a Yasmin Siddique.
We just spoke with her. She reported that he was acting nervously.
- She'd testify to that? - Yeah. Yeah, I think she would.
OK. What are your next steps?
Reid and Marshman are going to interview the father again,
but this time in DC.
You think he knows more than he's said?
Well, fathers often do.
And we don't know the kid knew a bomb was in his bag...
But if you were recruiting for America's enemies...?
It's perfect.
US passport holder, no special security alerts,
bringing luggage home for the holidays.
And what can we feed up to the White House?
Headlines only. No specifics yet.
Walk with me. There's something I want to discuss.
How long you been at the bureau, Dick? It's your whole career, right?
Correct. Same as my old man.
Second generation.
He must be proud.
He's satisfied with my choices.
This investigation, it's tricky.
See, every country that lost citizens
are all going to want their own justice,
but we have to face facts - this was an attack on America.
A Pan Am plane with 190 Americans on board.
- What else could it be? - We need to be out front, leading this thing.
- I don't doubt the Scots' commitment, but... - I hear you.
So, that in mind,
I want you to lead a US Task Force.
Field Offices. DOJ.
- If you're up for it. - Of course, yes.
You'll be representing us at the first international meeting
in Scotland.
- Well, thanks for the faith, Neil. - We've got to move fast,
because if you were a Hezbollah cell that just downed an American 747...
Why would you stop at just one?
Love you.
You think these are OK?
They're fine. They're beautiful.
What's that?
Some paperwork that I thought might be useful.
Like what?
Nothing, really. It's fine.
Roy, what's in there?
It's Tim's dental records.
I had the office fax them over.
Now, this shoe is one of 14,000 items
brought into this warehouse so far.
Items we were never supposed to see.
I believe the intention was for the bomb to detonate over the Atlantic,
where everything would have been lost forever.
But headwinds caused them to route the plane towards Glasgow,
meaning the bomb went off over Lockerbie,
making it a treasure trove of evidence.
Now, each item will have its own unique ID
and your job will be to assess it for bomb damage.
Anything with pitting,
blackening, warping, or burning
will be prioritised for explosive residue testing at RARDE.
I'm not sure everybody knows "RARDE".
"Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment," in Kent.
Allen Feraday's IRA experience there will give you forensic expertise,
which is half of what any good bomb scene response team needs.
What's the other half?
Eyeballs.
Now, let's get back to the shoe.
Now, have a good look at it now.
Should we set that aside for Feraday?
Yes.
Good.
I agree.
No pitting.
No foreign material.
But there are signs of burn damage on the sole.
Now, was this shoe in the bomber's suitcase?
Probably not.
But in a bag close by?
Potentially.
How you categorise a child's shoe may seem like a small decision...
but I'm here to tell you that the choices you make in this warehouse...
will be the most crucial of your whole careers.
You all right?
Yeah, yeah. All good.
Excuse me, can I help?
This is a restricted area.
Yeah, they said if I waited here, Mr Orr might be able to see me.
What is it you want him for?
I came to bring Mikey home.
He's married to my wife's sister.
He's got a baby back home.
19 months.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I got a call saying he's been identified,
that he's in the ice rink, but I'm...
I'm still waiting to see him.
Unfortunately, a delay's not unusual.
His wife won't believe he's dead until I see him myself.
I understand. However, we...
We don't advise that.
What about his belongings? Would there be any info on that?
Come on. Follow me.
Sandy, give us a wee second here.
Right, have a seat, pal.
OK, what's Mikey's full name.
It's Michael Joseph Doyle.
- OK. D-O-Y-L-E? - Yeah.
OK. So...
so far, it is just his body.
He's confirmed as not of interest.
Sorry. That just means to the... enquiry.
I get it. It's OK.
I can see your request to view him here.
It looks like he's going to be released imminently.
Give us the name of your hotel,
and I'll be touch when I've got some news.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
How can they not say if he's been found yet?
I don't know.
It said in the paper some people may never be found.
It's freezing. Come on, let's get you back in the car.
What if we don't find him, Roy?
What if we don't get him back?
Attention!
As the first victims of the doomed jumbo jet
began their journey home to America tonight,
the town of Lockerbie turned out to grieve.
Standing in the high street of the town,
Pan Am stewardesses struggling with their emotions.
The people of America and Scotland united in grief.
President George Bush has called an emergency meeting with leaders of...
- Hiya, love. - Hiya, darlin'.
Right...
where are the girls?
Was going to see if they fancied a game on the Spectrum.
It's after ten, Ed.
Yeah, course.
Sorry.
Why's my old jacket out?
It's for the boy that lost his family.
Steven... Flannigan.
I heard they were doing a ceremony for all the unfound victims.
I just...
I thought...
He won't have anything to wear to that, will he?
- It's all gone. - That's very thoughtful. Thank you.
- You're meant to be in bed, wee girl. - I heard Dad's car.
Oh, I'm sorry, have I woken you up?
That's OK. Mum says you're working hard cos of the big crash.
It's OK, isn't it, though?
It's never going to happen again.
Yeah. Listen, I don't want you worrying about all that.
You get back up to bed, and I'll come tuck you in.
Go on. Off you go!
Love you, sweetheart.
I don't think you should be saying that to her.
Saying what?
Until we catch who's responsible, who's to say it won't happen again?
Yeah, I realise that, Ed.
I was a police officer too, remember?
- Mum! - I'm not daft.
- But she's a child. - June... - Mum!
Coming.
OK.
Thanks for coming in, Mr Jaafar.
We just wanted to discuss some new information that we have.
New... New information?
Yeah, well, the fact is,
we fear your son may have been involved in this mess.
I was a lawyer in Lebanon before we moved here.
- I'm not a fool. - We know you're not a fool, sir.
Yeah, neither was my son.
Khaled was a good student.
He was studying to become an architect.
He had no interest in politics.
Khaled recently fell in love, yes?
Who told you that?
You didn't approve.
Well...
she was not right for him.
He needed to complete his studies here, in America.
She wanted to take him away.
And he didn't have the money to marry.
So, he needed more money in order to make his own choice of wife?
My son would never hurt anyone,
let alone kill 270 people.
Mr Jaafar...
this man is Hassan el-Salheli.
We suspect he's got possible links to Hezbollah.
We just discovered that Khaled stayed with him in Germany.
Yeah, I don't know him.
I don't know anything about that.
He even threw him a departure party.
Dortmund Station.
21st of December.
To see Khaled off to Frankfurt Airport,
like he was going to war.
A hero's send-off.
Well, perhaps he was being kind.
Look, we are a generous culture.
Before Germany, Khaled visited the Beqaa Valley.
Some of your relatives involved in drug smuggling there?
No.
Hezbollah runs the valley.
Show me who doesn't have links
to someone connected to drug smuggling there.
Doesn't mean they're involved.
Is it possible that, when back in the Valley,
Khaled was coerced - for money, or love -
to transporting something on a plane?
Hezbollah preying on an innocent American youth in their territory -
is that not plausible?
No.
We don't think your son was a terrorist, Mr Jaafar.
You don't?
I think he thought what he had in his bag...
was drugs, at worst...
and he was tricked into carrying a bomb.
"Tricked"?
MUSIC BLARES
Has anything come in regarding Jaafar?
No. Nothing yet.
I mean, the thing is...
most of the items found out on the fields...
they're only sorted into evidential and non-evidential, so...
it's often not clear what belongs to who.
We've got a whole warehouse full of items
that haven't been linked to anyone.
- And your point being? - My point being,
maybe we've got Jaafar's bags and we just don't know it yet.
METALLIC CLANGING, BEEPING
So, what have we got here, Tam?
Well, these are the remains of the most damaged luggage pallets
from Pan Am 103,
the ones most likely to have held the bomb.
Now, once they're all put back together,
it'll look something like this...
but with a blast hole appearing in one.
Well...
that's the idea, anyways.
What's this telling us?
We already know the bomb was in the luggage hold.
Well, yes, we do,
but baggage was loaded at different airports at different times
and in different luggage containers.
If we figure out which luggage container held the bomb,
you can figure out which airport it was loaded at.
Oh, hello.
Sorry, I'm not sure who to ask.
I've got something you might want to see.
There's a name on the inside.
I was wondering if you could get it to the family of whoever owned it.
I'm sure it would mean a lot to them.
The thing is, if it came from the plane,
first, it'll need to be assessed
to make sure it isn't of evidential value.
- You mean it could be a clue? - Yes.
We'll need to process it.
But if it's not evidence,
it'll go back to the family, won't it?
Anything that isn't evidence is being put to the side.
We just don't have the manpower to process it at the moment.
Come on. For one wee Bible?
If we did it for one, we'd have to do it for all.
You're saying that all that stuff,
all those bags and clothes,
are just being left somewhere?
It's just...
you know, DCS Orr says we have to prioritise.
Well, you tell DCS Orr...
that he needs to have a think about those..."priorities".
That's him.
That's Mikey.
OK.
Thank you.
- Come on. I'll give you a lift back. - OK.
Come in.
Oh, thanks very much.
Hello.
Some clean uniforms there for the boys out in the fields.
Could I have a word?
Moira...
WPC Aitken informs me that you've got an issue
with the fact that belongings
haven't being returned to the families as yet.
We all do.
It's a sin, so it is.
Think how badly people need those things,
how much they could help them.
I agree.
Good.
The problem is, there's so much of it.
And a lot of it's not fit for return.
It's not just covered in mud, it's covered in a lot worse besides.
Lauren told me that you don't have enough manpower to do the clean-up.
No. To be honest, we don't...
which is why I was wondering
if you and your volunteers might step in.
- Us? - I mean, it's tough work, and it could go on for weeks, but...
If you don't feel you're able to...
Of course we feel able.
We're used to tough work.
We're not the ones sitting behind a desk all day, are we, Moira?
No, we're not.
You just tell us when we start.
We'll be there.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Mrs Harley?
Yes.
I'm DS McCusker.
I've brought a few bits here for Steven.
Oh. Oh, that's... That's lovely, come on in.
Did you have a whip round down at the station for him?
My wife's idea.
Just a few bits and pieces I'm not using.
That's really kind of you both.
- Have a seat. - No, no. I... I can't stay long.
How is he?
His brother's up from Blackpool, so that's helping a wee bit, but...
OK, yeah. Is he about...?
Oh, yeah, of course..
Steven, you've got a visitor.
CLEARS THROAT
All right, pal. How's it going?
Fine, aye.
I've brought you some things I thought you could use.
Charity case, am I?
No. No, no. I.., I just...
I wasn't sure you had a suit jacket...
for the ceremony.
I brought you some books.
Some old comics.
It's a daft idea. I'll take this all back.
No, it's...
It's all right.
Sorry, Ed, it's...
It's nice.
Thanks.
They're really flying you Pan Am to Scotland?
It'll be fine.
I just keep thinking about those college kids on board.
That could have been Ian coming home from a semester abroad.
Yes. I know.
And I read there were 16 children under ten on board.
Pat!
What?
I have to solve this.
And to do that, I have to be rational.
I can't be rational if I'm thinking about...
the other side of things.
It seems pretty rational to think of it, if you ask me.
I just don't think you'll be able to avoid it,
- being over there, you know? - OK.
- Who're you calling? - Pizza place.
I'm going to go ask the boys what they want.
DOOR OPENS
Good news.
They found one of Jafaar's bags last night at Dexstar.
Definitely his?
It was found on Minsca Farm, 27th of December,
with flight coupons inside in his name.
Any bomb damage?
None.
What about the second bag?
No sign yet.
All right.
I want you to go to Dexstar,
and I want you to go through all of the luggage personally,
and you find that second bag.
Er... What about Holmes?
This takes priority.
CAMERA CLICKS
Morning, boss.
They ready for us?
More than ready. The boffins are all excited about something.
Moonlighting as a taxi driver, McCusker?
I didn't know times were so tough, son.
- Practise that as you were driving up? It's very good, Harry. - Aye.
Hope he left you a good tip.
We found this as we were reconstructing
the most heavily-damaged luggage pallet.
- What is it? - We'll have to get RARDE to look at it,
but it looks electronic to us.
And that's the pallet it came from?
Yes. We believe this to be the epicentre of the explosion,
where the bomb was held -
pallet AVE 4041.
Do we know what luggage was contained in this pallet?
This is one of the small number of pallets
that contained luggage from both Heathrow and Frankfurt.
Jaafar boarded at Frankfurt.
Do we know Jaafar's luggage was in this pallet?
Well, the thing is, at this time,
we've got an incomplete picture of the Frankfurt baggage.
- Why? - The Germans are dragging their feet
about the Frankfurt luggage list.
I've asked them for it several times.
I even said, "Please."
Well, the Germans are arriving soon.
Let's see what they've got to say for themselves.
These are items that have been deemed ready for clean-up
before return to the families.
Everything must be signed in and out of this room.
Nothing enters or leaves without paperwork, OK?
You take an item from here
and clean it up, best you can, without damaging it.
Now, some items will just need a little wiping down while others...
will require more work.
Right. Let's get on with it.
Here we are here.
This is what we've got on Khalid Jaafar.
The bag they've identified and his licence.
We've got a copy of this at Holmes.
You'd better start digging.
Argh!
Roy...
why don't you come inside? It's getting late.
Just a few more...
then I'll be in.
Argh!
Roy...
You go inside.
I'll speak to them.
As families around the globe continue to demand answers,
investigators from several countries
will join air accident experts and Scottish detectives in Lockerbie
for the first international conference
to discuss the preliminary finding around the bombing of Pan Am 103.
- Dick. - Tom.
- How are you? - Good. Good to see you again.
This is DCS Orr.
Great to meet you, finally.
It's better to do this sort of thing in person, right?
Well, I hope so.
Please.
Oh, wow. I... wasn't expecting an elementary school.
Oh, don't you worry. The kids are all safely tucked away
in another building. This is our incident centre.
Yes, of course.
How was your flight?
Good. Good.
No issues.
You're making great progress here, Tom.
- Sir. - That'll be all for now, Tom. Thank you.
So...
Khalid Jaafar.
How was the interview with his father?
Good.
Nothing new came of it, unfortunately.
Really, just an informal chat.
I'm sure it wasn't informal for him.
No. No. Probably not.
I've heard a lot about your evidence collection, Mr Orr.
It's amazing work.
800-square-mile crime scene, was it?
850.
Right.
Well...
you know, we'd really love to take a look
at anything you have uncovered so far.
- CLEARS THROAT. - You... You want to see our evidence,
while you refuse to share your intel.
How does that work?
I... I... We've shared everything that we're able to at this point.
You have intel you're not sharing with us.
You wouldn't have gone to the father for a second interview otherwise.
Am I right?
Yes.
Yes, there are details that I'm not authorised
to share at the international meeting.
I can give headlines, but there's just nothing firm enough yet.
Plus, we can't risk anything getting out to the press,
make life worse for Jaafar's family than it already is.
Hmm, I think the genie's already out of the bottle,
with regard to that one.
I'm not asking you to share everything with everyone.
Just with me...
and a few select members of my team.
In exchange...
we get access to your evidence?
You show me yours, I'll show you mine.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Did Marquise have intel on Jaafar?
Mm-hm.
A lot, and he seemed very confident he's our guy.
You think he's sharing everything he has?
No chance.
Gentlemen, welcome, all, to Lockerbie
and the first international meeting.
I'd like to give a hearty Scottish welcome
to Dick Marquise of the FBI,
Hans Sonntag and Director Klink,
German investigators from the BKA.
And from RARDE...
Allen Feraday.
While the investigation's in the early stages,
we've began to focus on one potential suspect -
Khalid Jaafar, a young American-Lebanese passenger
who, we have been informed,
was involved in some suspicious activities in the Middle East.
We've recovered one of his bags, but we know that he checked in two,
so the current theory is that the second bag
may have contained the bomb.
AAIB believe that they've found the site of the explosion.
And this has been verified the findings of RARDE. Is that correct?
We examined the metal of the pallet
and found residue consistent with explosive contact with an IED.
So, we can now confirm that this is the pallet that contained the bomb?
- Yeah. - So, what does this tell us?
The pallets mainly contained luggage solely from Heathrow.
This pallet also contained luggage from a connecting Frankfurt flight.
But the pallet contained lots of luggage.
You can't know the bomb got through at Frankfurt.
Exactly.
And that's why we have requested the luggage list from Frankfurt Airport.
Several times.
But you have the Pan Am manifests for both flights, correct?
That should tell you all you need to know about the luggage.
With all due respect, no, it doesn't.
The Pan Am luggage list lacks detail.
The Frankfurt list would show the exact origin
of every bag loaded at Frankfurt Airport.
Unfortunately, we're not in possession of the luggage list.
Can I ask, why not?
Mr Sonntag?
CLEARS THROAT
The airport have told us it is electronic
and erases itself after seven days.
But that would give you a week to print it.
We don't have it.
I accept this is unfortunate.
"Unfortunate"?
Is there anything solid on this Jaafar?
Any actual evidence linking him to the bombing?
Not yet, but then we haven't found the second bag.
So, you have nothing?
No.
But then, if the bag held the bomb...
there wouldn't be much to find, would there?
How can you lose a luggage list?
Well, if it proves that Frankfurt Airport
is how the bomb got into the system,
it's not going to be their top priority, is it?
- That's a wee bit cynical, boss, no? - Mm-hm.
McCusker.
- Dick Marquise, FBI. - Hi.
McCusker's looking to find anything linking to Jaafar.
We spoke on the phone, a few days after the bombing.
Oh, sorry. Bit of a blur, those first few days.
Any joy?
So, that's the bag found on Minsca Farm on the 27th of December.
Anything useful inside?
ID or anything?
Just the flight coupons.
His driver's license was located not far from his body,
but there's nothing else suggesting he was involved in the attack.
You still haven't found the second bag?
Nothing yet, but there's still a lot to go through.
If it's there at all.
Do you have any extra gloves?
- For you? - Yeah.
As long as that's OK with you, DCS Orr.
Aye, sure.
We'll leave you here.
We need to get back.
Of course.
- Sure you don't mind? - No, no. I'll take all the help I can get. - Great.
See you after.
Got men's clothing here.
What's this?
It's just a doctor's case.
What?
CLEARS THROAT
I got something.
Jaafar's from Michigan.
What colour's the jacket on the license?
Blue, I think.
That's his jacket.
Yeah, it is.
- 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.
I owe you an apology, DCS Orr.
We really thought this intel on Jaafar was solid.
Well, he's ruled out, so...
it's a step forward.
I'm not sure how much of a comfort that's going to be
to Jaafar's family.
What next for your team?
We move on. Keep searching.
I'll be in touch with whatever comes in.
Yeah.
So will I.
Safe travel.
I gave you life once and I'm...
I'm only sorry I can't give you life again.
Do you think there'll be photographers at the ceremony?
Eh?
I don't want them to take my photo.
They're not going to take a photo of that ugly mug, now are they?
Shut up!
I just don't want to be in the paper again.
Well, if they are there, I won't let them take your photo.
- All right? - All right.
Come here.
Come here!
You look good.
We gather here today to commemorate the lives
of those who, sadly, have not been found.
Whilst we may not have them with us,
we hold them tightly in our hearts,
today and every day.
These 17 souls will forever be part of our lives.
May this last farewell express the depth of our love for them.
May it ease, a little, our sense of loss
and strengthen our hope.
If the word "Lockerbie" will be associated
with this terrible tragedy,
perhaps it'll also be spoken of, in the future, with admiration,
through the example of its people.
We pray.
Pray for all who have lost someone.
Amen.
BAGPIPES PLAY
Mr McCusker?
Yeah.
David, how are you doing? You OK?
I just wanted to say thanks again - for the jacket and everything.
It's... It's no problem at all.
I'm hoping he can come live with me in Blackpool soon,
but... knowing he's got folk here, it...
It means a lot.
I think he's got the whole town looking after him.
Thanks again, Ed.
We have to investigate every possibility, every passenger,
but I acknowledge that this was difficult for your family
and all we can do is apologise.
We're sorry if we've caused any additional... pain,
discomfort.
"If"?
You will move on to the next suspect.
But there's no moving on for us.
The newspaper articles, the lies...
they will never go away.
- Yes? - Allen Feraday.
I've examined the shards found at Longtown.
- And? - Well, it's definitely something electronic
and extensively bomb-damaged.
The fact it came from inside the pallet, it's blasting outwards...
It was either part of the bomb or next to it.
So, let me get this straight.
You think it could be part of the bomb?
I do.
Do you have an appointment, sir?
No appointment, but I know who put the bomb on Pan Am 103.
