Original subtitles

I plead not guilty to murder my lord, but guilty to manslaughter. He will be

released as early as is practicable.

Whatever you said in there, he's innocent.

Thought we could have a coffee and a chat, yeah?

Jason, what happened?

I told him to stay away from me.

Jason!

I betrayed my client.

Look, I'm not going to let this go.

Just tell me how I can find Tony Pulling.

Tell me how to find Yusuf Atta.

Banfield went dark ten minutes ago.

She might be sending a message.

You have a family here. You have a child.

I have nothing here. Get that out.

Why did you want the photos?

She said they were going away, President.

Who for?

Her boyfriend.

I'm going to go to America and I'm going to talk to that son of a bitch.

Logan Bradley.

I didn't think I'd hurt that girl.

Emma Banfield.

Come with us, please.

These are some scary people, Abe.

Where

there

is discord, may we bring harmony.

And where there is despair, may we bring hope.

Put your trust in us.

We shall repay that trust for you.

Yes, ma 'am. Miss Banville is now in lockup.

Did she speak to Sergeant Bradley?

Yes, ma 'am, but he said he had no idea what it was about. I'll be with you

first thing in the morning. In the meantime, no one is to talk to her.

I need to know whether she's... No, you don't. Ma 'am, it's my duty to ensure

the safety of all U .S. Air Force personnel. You don't talk to Miss

Sergeant Bradley. This is a matter of national security.

Do you understand?

Yes, ma 'am.

Who is she?

I don't know.

But she was put through by the base commander.

So I guess we're going to do what she says, okay?

Yes, sir.

Hi, Miriam.

I'm Dominic Truelove. I work with Emma.

She was supposed to come to see me.

I know. I'm sorry.

Kevin Russell's had a serious accident.

Is he okay?

He's in hospital.

Why didn't she come now?

I'm afraid she had to go abroad.

She asked me to talk to you on her behalf.

So... By mutual agreement...

Emma no longer represents your husband, Yusuf.

Therefore, regrettably, she can no longer represent you.

However, she has contacted these solicitors, all of whom have experience

type of case. We have to represent you.

I thought Yusuf was helping people.

I thought that he cared about me.

I'm not a terrorist. I'm not.

Okay. But there are real terrorists in here. Did you know that? They told me

about Yusuf.

About how he got a visit from Emma and how she said he wasn't her client.

Then five minutes later, he was arrested by the terrorist police.

Emma always warned Yusuf he was running a huge risk.

But I'm telling you what they say. Now Emma is the one running the risk.

Sir?

Work it. It's me.

Can you talk?

What's going on, Logan?

Damn circuit breakers hang tight

Got less than ten minutes, then the lights go back on.

They're doing it again.

What? Chipping me out.

Only this time, it's not just me.

It's my wife.

It's my kid.

It's my family.

They're turning my whole life upside down.

And I didn't kill Linda.

I didn't touch a hair on her head. And you, how?

Met her at a party on the base.

You were sleeping with her?

Yeah. You were sleeping with her?

Keith, you can't do the math.

I was a kid back then, too.

Just turned 17.

So if you're gonna make me out like I'm some kind of pervert, you can fuck off

back to your cell.

Okay, okay, I believe you.

Please, just tell me, what was going on between you?

We were kids.

We were in love.

The tie -pin.

The F -16 tie -pin on the bra, that was for you?

Yeah.

That was for me.

We were going to get married.

Soon as I got back from Iraq.

I know, huh?

Pathetic.

Do you know what happened to Linda the night she disappeared?

We thought it would be our going -away party.

At the old officer's mess.

Why there?

Because it's just outside the wire.

Linda and the other girls could get there and suck it away unofficially.

What other girls?

Locals. Gold diggers, mostly.

Linda wasn't like that.

And did you meet her?

No.

Baker's put on emergency lockdown.

Some security business.

VIPs flying in. Private jets.

Everybody was confined to barracks.

What do you mean, security business?

I don't know.

The war was pretty close then. That kind of stuff was happening all the time.

But if the party never happened, if you never met Linda, why did the Admiral

ship you out?

Because when I saw on the news that she'd disappeared, I ran to my CEO.

And I told them I'd been to the theater.

They had me on a plane to the Gulf that same day.

Told me if I'd ever talked about it, I'd be in Guantanamo.

I didn't hurt Linda.

I could never have hurt her.

Just believe me.

Time's up.

Logan, get out of here.

This never happened.

Wait, how did you even get to know Linda in the first place?

Her uncle introduced us.

He used to bring stuff to the base.

Phil Simms.

Yeah, Phil Simms.

Monty, are we secure?

Yep. I've got Dominic here with me, too.

What's going on with Emma? We had an arrangement.

She'd call every eight hours or so, report progress.

Nothing for 20 hours.

Do you know where she is?

Andrews Air Force Base.

She's been arrested.

Probably. Does she connect with Logan Bradley?

Possibly. I sent a PI down there. He says movers are outside Logan's house

now. Looks like he's being shipped out again.

So she must have talked to him.

Or they got to him first.

How much trouble is she in, Larry?

She's messing with some pretty powerful people here, the U .S. military, CIA.

They want to fuck her up, they can.

They've already met.

I want to talk to Sergeant Bradley because he may have information that

help one of my clients.

But your customs declaration said you're in the States for a conference on

copyright law.

I am.

I got a lead unexpectedly.

Where'd she get the lead?

Where did you get the lead from?

I'm afraid that's confidential.

Tell her that's obstruction.

That's obstruction.

No, it isn't.

As an attorney, I didn't have to divulge any privileged information.

She already lied to a federal officer, which is a felony. She's compounding

felony by refusing to answer questions.

How did she find Bradley?

You're making this worse for yourself.

Lying to a federal officer is a felony. Tell me where you found Sergeant Bradley

or that's another felony. Where?

I found him at his home.

Why is that a felony?

How, you idiot? Not where.

I mean, how did you find him?

I'm afraid I can't divulge that either.

Well? She's too calm.

And she's showing no interest in actually talking to Bradley, which means

already talked to him.

She could know about him and the girl.

I think we keep her here.

Tie her up in red tape. She committed at least two felonies. No, send her back.

The Air Force got Bradley out of the way. She's not going to find him again.

Sir, I think that's... You overthink.

Bradley's a sideshow here, you know that.

Don't make the cover -up worse than the crime.

Yes? It's Chief Superintendent Greenwood. Chief Superintendent?

I need to question Emma Banville.

Banville?

Why are you calling me?

Her office is in the States.

She's not answering her phone and the hotel doesn't know where she is.

Why do you want to question her?

You know we arrested Yusuf Attar.

Well, we have his hard drive.

there's evidence that Banville's more involved in his network than we thought.

Involved how?

She knows the names of his finances.

That sounds like criminal conspiracy.

You're going to charge her.

Put it this way. She's going to need a good lawyer.

So can you help me?

Yes.

I can try to track her down.

We return to the party leadership contest and an interview with the clear

favourite, Matthew Wylde.

Will you excuse us?

Yeah.

You've done it. Already over 50 % of the vote in writing. You bloody won!

Thank you, mate.

This was incredible.

I told you it would happen, didn't I?

You did.

Remember, strong but humble.

Thank your opponent.

I look forward to working with him to return the party to power.

Sweetheart.

I'm so proud of you.

Matthew,

there you are.

I am delighted for you, truly.

Thank you, Zainab, but it's not in the bag yet. Oh, yes it is. Look, we're live

in 30, so we'd better get a move on. Catch you later, Laura.

Right, let's just get you wired up.

So this will be pretty soft pedal stuff.

Your reaction to your victory.

How you're going to lead your party out of the wilderness.

That's soft pedal. Bloody hell. Ready?

Five, four, three... Well, he's done

it. The Iraq veteran, the young backbencher, the charismatic outsider

won.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to London Gatwick. We're stopping short of the

gate to unload two passengers.

Please remain in your seats.

What ground can you hold on me?

All yours. Thank you.

What ground?

from here.

Bye. I

hate

subterfuge.

However... What is it?

It was the only way we could think to get you out of the States.

We're in the Chief Superintendent's debt.

I'm putting my career on the line.

So you better have something.

Oh, I do, but it's not going to help your career.

Just tell me.

Linda had an American boyfriend on the airbase.

The Air Force snatched him out of there the second Linda disappeared in 2003,

and they've just done the same to him now.

I don't care.

I want to question him. He's beyond your reach.

We're the man who introduced them.

The man who knew about them.

He isn't.

Linda's uncle, Phil Sims.

Did you ever question him?

Yes.

Yes. And I'll question him again.

Come with me. You can tell me the rest in the car.

I haven't slept for three days. I just want to shower and change my clothes.

There's a toilet down the hall.

Come now or not at all.

Look, I didn't tell her everything.

Logan said that there was securitylessness on the base that night.

planes landing, VIPs. You got a pen?

Call this guy, Douglas. Tell him you want details of all flights in and out

the base the night that Linda disappeared.

How on earth would he know that?

Because private jets probably mean CIA.

Douglas has been tracking those flights for years.

Why didn't you tell Greenwood this?

If I did, she'd lock the whole thing down.

Those planes that we see.

They're the answer to everything, John.

How long have you had the business for?

He supplied produce to the base back in 2003, and booze and drugs. That's what

the local cops thought.

Now we also know he supplied girls.

What are you waiting for?

Phil Sims is a hardener.

He'll know that we're just trying to provoke a response, and he'll give us

nothing.

What do you suggest?

This was Linda's boyfriend.

Logan. He was with the US Air Force.

He was the one that Linda took the photos for.

It's true?

It appears so.

What the hell happened to him?

When Linda disappeared, the Americans got him out of the country.

You mean he killed her? No. No, he was meant to meet her the night Linda

disappeared, but the base was on lockdown.

He was confined to barracks.

So why are you throwing us this then, when it sounds like Russell's still the

killer? Wait, wait, wait. I want to know how it happened. How did Linda even

know this bloke?

Your brother introduced them.

What?

I didn't know who that is.

It's Linda's boyfriend.

Boyfriend? Linda was a kid.

She was never even on the base.

Never on the base, really.

She often went there with you.

Open hour.

And what about this?

I still wonder what you and that toe -rag Fulins was up to now, I know.

Charlie, listen.

Pimping out my kid. Me?

Who had her working behind the bar, hmm?

With her tight T -shirts and her big deal.

No!

Stop it! Stop it! No!

Stop it!

Stop it!

You saw Linda that night, didn't you?

You gave her a lift to the base.

Where did you take her?

You say it, or I'll kill you.

Right here.

I didn't do anything.

Say it.

I just drove her.

Where?

To the old officer's mess.

That true?

I dropped him off. I drove away.

Lynn was fine.

She was happy, Charlie, I swear.

You dropped them off. Who else?

No one else, just Lynn.

Who else?

Linda's friend.

What friend?

Rachel.

Rachel Lee.

Yes, sir.

Only friends for a few months. I hardly knew her.

She got older than Linda, but Linda was always good with older kids and grown

-ups.

Do you know where Rachel is now?

Why does it matter?

Because until now, we thought she was the last person to see Linda alive when

she was talking to Kevin outside the school hall. She was also the reason

the police started questioning Kevin in the first place.

So where is she?

I don't know.

She left school that summer and moved away.

Does her mum live in the area?

No, she moved away a long time ago.

Don't know where.

Could I borrow one of these?

So this is it.

The old office, isn't it?

So this is where you dumped her?

What a place.

Looked better in 2003.

I thought about boating my inquiry out here, but then...

Then you got Kevin Russell.

That made the inquiry a whole lot easier.

Do you remember the autopsy report?

Jet fuel, conifers and sand.

She was buried here.

That phone call was one of my offices.

Wanting to know where I was.

Where you were, more to the point.

So tell me, what have you given me exactly?

I've given you Linda Sims' boyfriend.

I've given you Phil Sims.

And I've given you a place where Linda was killed.

Here, right here.

So who killed her?

Who killed Linda Sims?

You know how far we are from the school.

One mile.

So you know who could have been here that night, even if he walked.

Kevin Russell. Except he didn't. He's still the best suspect that we have, and

you are no closer to proving him otherwise.

Get forensics out here.

Find her grave.

What?

Find a grave with nobody that may or may not have been here 14 years ago. You

think I can swing that?

And even if I could, that still doesn't prove that Kevin Russell didn't do it.

We need to find the girl.

We need to find Rachel Lee.

Because she lied.

She told a big, fat lie.

Hello, who is it? Tony.

Tony Pullings.

What do you want, Tony?

Phil Simms just called me.

What? Why?

He knows about him. About everything.

Who knows?

Bamville.

And she's not alone. She's got that detective with her.

DCS Greenwood.

They're working together.

Yes, Dom?

Your friend came through.

There were two flights that night.

Not now, Dom. I'm on the way to the hospital to check on Kevin.

Meet me there in about an hour.

What's going on?

Derek, tell me.

Go in there.

See for yourself.

He came too, 20 minutes ago, just like that.

He can't really talk, but he knows who we are, all of us.

He asked about you.

He said your name.

Hi, Kevin.

I'm so glad to see you.

I've been to America.

I've had new witnesses, new facts.

The doctors say we should go. Too much excitement isn't good.

Yeah. You rest, Kevin. You get strong.

I'm here, Dad.

Always here.

Excuse me, please.

You're true.

Now you're close.

We just have to get his hopes up again and then... I'm close.

I'm meeting someone now.

We'll talk soon.

No problem. I didn't want to tell you this over the phone.

Don says you've got two planes.

Gulfstream out of Smith Airfield, Virginia, and a C -5 out of Hamburg.

There were other flights that night, but these are the two you want. The tail

number's confirmed.

Both planes are from the CIA rendition fleet.

I thought so.

Taking our code of suspects into the UK or flipping them out now?

Neither.

Not this time.

Now, usually we can't find passenger lists for obvious reasons, but I had a

stroke of luck.

The Gulf Stream flew back to the States that night, but developed hydraulic

problems. Had to land in Nova Scotia.

Canadians insisted on seeing the flag manifest.

One passenger.

Jack Kretschmer.

The U .S.

Undersecretary for Defense in the run -up to the Iraq War.

He was on the plane from Germany.

Just a guess, but given the timing and given Kretschmer, I'm pretty confident.

It was Stata Sabah, an Iraqi defector being run by German intelligence.

The BND were holding him near Hamburg.

Sabah, code name Slider. He could tell the Americans what they wanted to hear.

Saddam had chemical weapons.

Which went straight into Colin Powell's speech at the UN four days later.

Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

It was the car's first belly.

If you're right, why did they come here? Why did they come to the UK?

But probably to meet someone from the British government at least equal in

to Critchman.

What's that got to do with Caven?

Timing. Where were we when Linda Sims disappeared?

Six weeks away from a war that no one wanted.

Things were falling apart for Blair. He needed proof that Saddam was a genuine

threat.

Again, what's it got to do with Caven?

That's the question we need to ask. But we're never going to get to these two.

I need to find out who was there from our side.

I need the Brit.

I'll do what I can.

Are you ready for this?

I suppose.

Well, you'll be fine.

They'll ask some obvious questions.

Then they'll do that thing where they make us walk towards the camera

it's not there.

All that?

I think I can do that.

Oh, you can do all of it.

Just be yourself.

Yes.

D .S. Brook, sir.

It's Jenna, isn't it?

Tell me, what's DCS Greenwood working on now?

The Yusuf Fattah case.

What aspect of it?

It's all right. Mrs. Miles shares our interest in Attar.

Is she questioning Attar's lawyer, Emma Banville?

I believe she has, yes.

Has Miss Banville been charged with any offence?

I don't believe so.

And why not?

The thing is, Bamford isn't Atta's lawyer anymore.

Atta's wife was told that Bamford was no longer representing him.

When?

About four days ago at Sizemore.

We actually got it on film.

She asked me to talk to you on her behalf.

By mutual agreement, Emma no longer represents your husband, you say?

Yeah, I mean, we don't know when it happened, but we can guess.

And then five minutes later, he was arrested by the terrorist police.

Emma always warned you so she was running a huge risk. Okay, maybe.

But what they say is now she's the one who's running the risk.

Did you hear that? That was a threat.

Did you warn Vandal?

We assumed he did.

Do you still have people on it?

Once we heard she split with a tar, we pulled back. Didn't seem to be in need.

What about GCHQ?

That's on my pay grade. Why do you think the threat is real?

I doubt it.

If you learn anything more about Bendel, call me.

Thanks, Jenna.

How do you know Douglas?

He helped me in one of the Guantanamo cases.

Was he a spook?

No.

Oh, he was in the Parachute Regiment.

His legs were paralysed by an IED in Iraq.

Gee, Ellen.

Same IED killed three of his mates.

That's why he cares.

Do we actually have anything that might persuade the CPS to look at this again?

Linda's American boyfriend, Phil Simms, CIA meeting, exactly the same time as

Linda disappeared, mysterious friend Rachel.

Yeah, I think so. The CIA angle.

It's not a bit fanciful?

The Americans are deeply involved in whatever happened to Kevin and to Linda.

But why?

Because there is something, there is someone they are desperate to hide.

When I... Yes, Douglas.

OK.

What date?

Really? A photo on the same page?

Got it.

No, I know it's no guarantee, but it makes sense.

Thank you.

Douglas has got our vote.

The Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet Office.

Sir Alastair McKinnon.

One of the powers behind the throne.

Hello?

It's Alastair.

Guess who's coming to see me?

Emma Banville. Correct.

She wants to talk about the night of the 1st of February, 2003.

You don't have to talk to her, so don't. Why?

So you can fix it?

You know, if you hadn't tried to fix it back then, we wouldn't be where we are

now. No, you'd be in jail.

Don't give her the time of day.

Got you scared, hasn't she?

One little...

lefty lawyer.

Have you been drinking?

Goodbye, Heather.

From now on, I take care of myself.

There are others more important than you.

What's up?

I haven't been here since I was a student.

Did you hate it?

No. Like the love of my life.

Then I lost him.

You okay?

Wish me luck.

Sir, I wanted to ask you about the 1st of February 2003, what

you were doing that night, if you can remember.

Ah, February 03, I was working in the Cabinet Office, night of the

1st. I was here, Cambridge, to give a talk to the Law Society.

I didn't give that talk.

Instead, I went to an airbase in East Anglia.

I met a chap called Kretschmer.

the U .S. Department of Defense, and an Iraqi scientist named Mustafa Sabah.

He had information about Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons.

I passed this information on to my government.

It was crucial in the vote to go to war.

You're admitting to this?

An illicit meeting with a discredited scientist?

Secret, not illicit.

Saba had family in Iraq.

We had a duty to protect them.

And you just swallowed what he gave you? You didn't question it?

At the time, it seemed genuine.

And what would have been the point?

It was your job.

You could have said, this is rubbish. You could have stopped it, everything,

right there.

No. The ships had sailed.

The intelligence didn't matter. We were going to support our ally.

I will be with you whatever.

Remember?

How can I forget?

Then we're too righteous.

Mistakes were made. Nobody denies that.

But if you were to add a few more details to the record and embarrass

public figures, well, you have at it.

Is there anything else?

Oh, yes.

We missed out one detail.

Who else was there that evening?

There were some British and American intelligence officers.

I mean, even if I knew their names, I wouldn't try to hear them.

And you're still missing someone.

Who?

The school girl.

Linda Sims.

She was supposed to meet her boyfriend on the base that night, but instead she

ran into you.

Now, maybe she startled you, maybe you startled her.

A car hit her, head on.

She was buried alive, then she was dug up, and she was buried again, to make it

look like someone else did it.

My client, Kevin Russell.

I'm glad you're recording this.

It will prove just how unhinged you are.

I mean, why?

Why would we?

Kill a girl, even by accident, and then conceal the facts?

Lie about it? Tell me, why?

Can I help you with anything else?

You know Matthew Wilde.

I know most people who matter.

You could have been one of them.

Could still be, you know.

God knows. You're bright enough.

Except you hate your country so much.

I love my country.

I just hate what people like you have done to it. People like me?

Honestly, my dear.

I'm like an angry teenager.

You arrogant bastard.

Do you know what? It's your arrogance that gives you away.

The second burial.

Linda's body could have just stayed where it was.

But when the police started questioning Kevin, it was too tempting, wasn't it,

just to dig her up and lay her at his doorstep.

This is absurd.

No, you said it yourself.

Who was there that night? It was intelligence officers.

CIA, MI6.

Men are adept at lying and deception, and this was the time of lies.

Dodgy dossiers, sexing up, don't let the smoking gun be a mushroom cloud.

You thought you could get away with anything.

Why not just run over some girl and blame it on the poor sod that fancied

Why would we?

Please, just tell me why.

Because if you were exposed, you and your bloody sinister cabal...

Do you think that the Blair government would have won its vote to go to war?

I want you to leave.

Don't forget this. I suggest you take it to the Guardian.

Because the police will just laugh at you. In fact, even the Guardian will

at you.

I'm scared.

Why?

Get out.

Is it for yourself or is it for someone else?

Get out!

You haven't listened to me at the base.

Phil Stenner said you dropped Linda at the base.

Now it depends on the police and my little tape recorder.

But you did the aim. You won.

Well, it doesn't feel like that.

I gave it up too easily.

He's hiding something.

Do you know what?

No.

Are you OK?

No, not really.

You know, these past few days, America, Cambridge... I feel like I've been

assumed. Like my past dug up and all these things. I thought I was over. I am

not.

I'm sorry.

Wanted the tea.

What things aren't you over?

Mistakes.

Betrayal.

Heartbreak. You know, the usual.

Can I forget it, dear?

Tom?

Having a party?

Hey, John. Keith.

Hi, love.

Flight got in late. You ran in.

I just went out with your wife.

Sit, Tom. Sit. Nah, just drop the name off.

Good luck tomorrow.

Thanks, Tom.

Right, you just can't do that. You can't just walk back in here after

disappearing for three weeks and the worst time of my life and you just walk

back in.

I know. The job came and I... I don't want a phone call, one email.

I sent you a Skype message.

Steve, I want this to end.

You know, I'm really fond of you, but I want to change my life before it's too

late. I'm going to give up the criminal work.

I'm going to try and adopt a child again.

And I know the only reason you went along with that is because you're just

lazy to argue, so basically I want you to leave.

No.

You can't say no. This is my house.

I pay half the bills. That gives me currency life. No.

I want to change my life.

I want a child.

You have children.

What, you?

No, your clients.

You love them.

Stay up all night with them. You bring them home. Miriam's not the first

terrorist to sleep in the living room. I'm not.

Kevin's not the first murderer to sleep in the office.

They're your children.

You'll never give them up.

Don't kid yourself.

And I know I'm lazy.

And I'm good for you.

You can relax with me, have a laugh.

And I love you.

So you're going to have to work a lot harder than that to get rid of me.

So if there's not a sex offender asleep in the office, I'll keep it there.

What do you expect us to do with this?

Sir Alastair MacKinnon says on tape that a meeting happened between the people

whose names I've listed on that report at exactly the same time and place as

Linda Sims met her death.

I expect the police to investigate.

You have to reopen the Linda Sims case right now.

Well, that it was the time and place of Linda's death is your assertion, not a

fact. No, Phil Sims stated that he dropped Linda... Phil Sims has withdrawn

statement. He says he was intimidated by his brother, didn't know what he was

saying.

That's bullshit.

Nothing puts Linda in the same place as this alleged meeting. Why am I even

talking to you? Where's Olivia Greenwood? I'm the investigating

Greenwood. Yeah, I don't care. I'm going to talk to her.

Well, you can't.

Because she's been suspended pending an internal inquiry.

You wrecked her career.

You won't wreck mine.

I'm not going to let you drop this.

Miss Banfield, I have it from on high.

There is no interest in investigating what may or may not have happened 14

ago. Now, the Linda Sims case is closed.

What about the girl? What about Rachel?

After A -levels, Rachel Lee went to a language school in Nice, south of
