1
00:00:18,585 --> 00:00:20,679
Isabella.

2
00:00:27,594 --> 00:00:30,189
I put it to you, Detective
Chief Inspector...

3
00:00:30,264 --> 00:00:33,564
Isn't every single
detail of your testimony

4
00:00:33,634 --> 00:00:37,730
against these dedicated
and highly decorated officers

5
00:00:37,804 --> 00:00:39,397
just fabrication?

6
00:00:39,473 --> 00:00:42,602
You worked with
these men for five years.

7
00:00:42,676 --> 00:00:46,078
Now, you know that
there was no corruption,

8
00:00:46,146 --> 00:00:48,706
there was no money
in brown envelopes,

9
00:00:48,782 --> 00:00:51,809
or deals done in
smoke-filled rooms.

10
00:00:52,085 --> 00:00:57,183
Isn't your testimony just
the last desperate croakings

11
00:00:57,257 --> 00:00:58,486
of a disillusioned rebel?

12
00:00:58,559 --> 00:00:59,686
No.

13
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,388
Oh, no more questions.

14
00:01:05,265 --> 00:01:06,494
Why?

15
00:01:08,335 --> 00:01:09,530
I'm sorry, sir?

16
00:01:09,603 --> 00:01:11,333
Over 30 years on the force.

17
00:01:11,405 --> 00:01:14,534
You could have retired
quietly in a couple of weeks.

18
00:01:14,608 --> 00:01:15,735
And yet, you stand here

19
00:01:15,809 --> 00:01:19,109
open to public
ridicule and humiliation,

20
00:01:19,179 --> 00:01:21,080
risking your reputation.

21
00:01:21,148 --> 00:01:22,275
Why?

22
00:01:22,349 --> 00:01:24,545
I'm a police officer.

23
00:01:31,658 --> 00:01:33,854
When my wife...

24
00:01:46,540 --> 00:01:52,411
When my wife died, I
was going through a time.

25
00:01:52,479 --> 00:02:00,479
But Isabella, she always
said, "My duty is my life."

26
00:02:02,289 --> 00:02:04,520
No more questions.

27
00:02:23,543 --> 00:02:25,136
Unite! Fight!

28
00:02:25,212 --> 00:02:26,441
Don't scab labor!

29
00:02:26,513 --> 00:02:27,708
Unite! Fight!

30
00:02:27,781 --> 00:02:29,215
Don't scab labor!

31
00:02:29,282 --> 00:02:30,580
Unite! Fight!

32
00:02:30,651 --> 00:02:33,280
Here they come!
Don't let them through!

33
00:02:34,354 --> 00:02:38,155
Don't let those union
scabs take your jobs!

34
00:02:41,328 --> 00:02:43,263
Scab!

35
00:02:50,404 --> 00:02:52,373
You can't just leave us.

36
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:54,237
We've got to get in
there and get paid.

37
00:02:54,307 --> 00:02:56,401
We're in the transport union.

38
00:02:56,476 --> 00:02:58,206
I'm not crossing a picket line.

39
00:02:58,278 --> 00:03:00,270
Come on.

40
00:03:00,347 --> 00:03:04,341
Just get us through. Please.

41
00:03:04,418 --> 00:03:07,650
Good man! Union man.

42
00:03:09,623 --> 00:03:11,524
In Newcastle, angry scenes

43
00:03:11,591 --> 00:03:13,719
at the Bateson-Donnelly dispute.

44
00:03:13,794 --> 00:03:16,662
It's been six weeks since
the management fired workers

45
00:03:16,730 --> 00:03:19,598
who refused to give up
their union membership

46
00:03:19,666 --> 00:03:21,931
and replaced them
with casual labor.

47
00:03:22,202 --> 00:03:25,229
Bateson-Donnelly claim
their non-union workers

48
00:03:25,305 --> 00:03:28,400
are being subjected to a
campaign of interrogation

49
00:03:28,475 --> 00:03:32,242
while unions complain of
heavy-handed police tactics.

50
00:03:32,312 --> 00:03:35,714
Don't let them take your job!

51
00:03:40,687 --> 00:03:42,656
Dirty scabs!

52
00:03:56,269 --> 00:03:58,704
Ohh.

53
00:04:05,011 --> 00:04:07,276
Guilty.

54
00:04:18,492 --> 00:04:19,802
Yes,

55
00:04:19,826 --> 00:04:21,385
defeat at the
election for my party

56
00:04:21,461 --> 00:04:22,588
was a bitter blow

57
00:04:22,662 --> 00:04:25,496
for the party, for the country,
and the defense secretary,

58
00:04:25,565 --> 00:04:26,863
Mr. Healey, wasn't it, Denis?

59
00:04:26,933 --> 00:04:28,573
Yes, it was very bitter.

60
00:04:28,635 --> 00:04:30,627
I felt it bitterly admittedly.

61
00:04:30,704 --> 00:04:32,696
As defense secretary,
I was ensuring

62
00:04:32,773 --> 00:04:34,401
the safety of this country

63
00:04:34,474 --> 00:04:36,909
by developing intercontinental
ballistic eyebrows.

64
00:04:38,612 --> 00:04:40,612
What other country in the
world would let comedians

65
00:04:40,647 --> 00:04:42,445
make fun of its war heroes?

66
00:04:42,516 --> 00:04:47,318
Healey made the
beaches at Anzio you know.

67
00:04:47,387 --> 00:04:49,913
I do. Italy was hard graft.

68
00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:51,049
You were there?

69
00:04:51,324 --> 00:04:55,728
Eighth Army. Taranto to Bologna.

70
00:04:55,796 --> 00:04:57,373
I resent people called Harold.

71
00:04:57,397 --> 00:04:58,831
I can't think why.

72
00:04:58,899 --> 00:05:00,333
And I do like Mr. Heath.

73
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,520
There's something about him.

74
00:05:01,568 --> 00:05:03,248
I think it's 'cause he
looks like my horse.

75
00:05:03,336 --> 00:05:04,827
Oh, for goodness sakes.

76
00:05:04,905 --> 00:05:07,932
Bollocks. Prime
Minister, I am so sorry.

77
00:05:08,008 --> 00:05:11,877
He's just a dirty old man
who can't keep his mouth shut.

78
00:05:11,945 --> 00:05:13,641
I'm sure you know the type.

79
00:05:13,713 --> 00:05:16,046
On behalf of the Special
Investigations Unit,

80
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:19,514
the new Commissioner's
asked me to thank you.

81
00:05:19,586 --> 00:05:22,317
He appreciates and
admires what you've done.

82
00:05:22,389 --> 00:05:23,766
One leap for mankind,

83
00:05:23,790 --> 00:05:26,487
one great, clean shirt for me.

84
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,688
This is a new decade,

85
00:05:28,762 --> 00:05:30,856
a new regime at The Yard.

86
00:05:30,931 --> 00:05:33,457
The battle we won
today is only the start.

87
00:05:34,868 --> 00:05:37,633
I want you to know that.

88
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:42,507
What else do you
want from me, Ian?

89
00:05:42,576 --> 00:05:44,374
A large, red gun?

90
00:05:44,444 --> 00:05:45,776
No, indeed.

91
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:49,112
And as your newly
elected prime minister, it...

92
00:05:49,382 --> 00:05:57,382
I'd appreciate it if you'd meet
me here tomorrow morning,

93
00:05:57,591 --> 00:05:59,719
say 9:15.

94
00:06:01,127 --> 00:06:03,562
What's wrong with Scotland Yard?

95
00:06:03,630 --> 00:06:05,792
Prying eyes and ears, you know?

96
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:08,665
- Union jobs!
- For Union workers!

97
00:06:08,735 --> 00:06:10,601
- Union jobs.
- For Union workers!

98
00:06:10,737 --> 00:06:12,603
- Union jobs.
- For Union workers!

99
00:06:12,672 --> 00:06:14,470
Why are they still here?

100
00:06:14,541 --> 00:06:17,409
Bastards won't disperse
and let us do our job.

101
00:06:17,477 --> 00:06:19,088
They're saying we're
using this as an excuse

102
00:06:19,112 --> 00:06:20,705
to break up their protest.

103
00:06:20,780 --> 00:06:22,408
I don't have enough
men for this job.

104
00:06:22,482 --> 00:06:23,677
Well, I'm sorry, Billy.

105
00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:25,378
It's not my
department, all right?

106
00:06:25,452 --> 00:06:28,786
Thanks.

107
00:06:28,855 --> 00:06:30,619
Okay.

108
00:06:30,690 --> 00:06:31,953
Crime scene's looking messy.

109
00:06:32,025 --> 00:06:33,425
We're not hopeful
of getting much.

110
00:06:33,493 --> 00:06:34,893
His name's Johnny Wilson,

111
00:06:34,961 --> 00:06:36,862
but nobody knows much about him.

112
00:06:36,930 --> 00:06:38,140
Well, it's ever since
the company fired

113
00:06:38,164 --> 00:06:39,564
all of its union men,

114
00:06:39,633 --> 00:06:40,943
him and all of his workers
have been brought in

115
00:06:40,967 --> 00:06:42,629
from all over the country.

116
00:06:42,702 --> 00:06:43,702
Great.

117
00:06:43,737 --> 00:06:44,914
It's about 200
suspects, isn't it?

118
00:06:44,938 --> 00:06:46,463
- Yeah, I know.
- Union jobs!

119
00:06:46,539 --> 00:06:47,563
Has the press been here?

120
00:06:47,641 --> 00:06:48,939
Every day for
the last six weeks.

121
00:06:49,009 --> 00:06:52,070
Yeah, I'll get on the papers,
see what pictures they've got.

122
00:06:52,145 --> 00:06:54,046
Who's the chief commi here?

123
00:06:54,114 --> 00:06:56,709
Him, Owen Thompson,
with the red scarf.

124
00:06:56,783 --> 00:06:58,149
Him? Right.

125
00:07:06,593 --> 00:07:08,562
Here they come. Here they come.

126
00:07:08,628 --> 00:07:12,030
The fit-up starts now, eh?

127
00:07:12,098 --> 00:07:13,828
Don't know what you're implying.

128
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:16,961
I am asserting you and
your uniformed henchmen,

129
00:07:17,037 --> 00:07:19,048
as representative instruments
of the capitalist society of...

130
00:07:19,072 --> 00:07:20,483
Bacchus: All right,
all right, all right.

131
00:07:20,507 --> 00:07:22,066
I want these men cleared.

132
00:07:22,142 --> 00:07:24,111
- Someone is dead.
- A scab.

133
00:07:24,177 --> 00:07:26,976
That man has a family,
people who love him.

134
00:07:27,047 --> 00:07:28,845
And my men have families, too.

135
00:07:28,915 --> 00:07:30,816
All we want is a fair deal.

136
00:07:30,884 --> 00:07:32,045
You call your men off.

137
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:33,051
Otherwise, I'll
have you arrested.

138
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:34,143
Do you understand me?

139
00:07:34,220 --> 00:07:36,052
You and the rest of your men.

140
00:07:36,122 --> 00:07:39,149
Go ahead, pig.

141
00:07:39,225 --> 00:07:40,225
Let's have a riot.

142
00:07:46,633 --> 00:07:47,999
You're taking
this too far, Owen.

143
00:07:48,068 --> 00:07:50,162
My men have an
inalienable right to protest

144
00:07:50,236 --> 00:07:53,570
against the policy of this
company and your government.

145
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,108
It's not my government anymore.

146
00:07:55,175 --> 00:07:58,043
Labour, Tory... All the
same to me and my men.

147
00:07:58,111 --> 00:08:00,478
Your men?

148
00:08:00,547 --> 00:08:02,573
They're not your men.

149
00:08:02,649 --> 00:08:05,118
- Eh?
- You people don't belong here.

150
00:08:08,922 --> 00:08:10,823
Michael Clements, M.P.

151
00:08:10,890 --> 00:08:13,826
Deputy Inspector
Bacchus, this is D.S. Coles.

152
00:08:13,893 --> 00:08:16,624
Do you mind if I try and talk
some sense into these men?

153
00:08:16,696 --> 00:08:18,528
No.

154
00:08:18,598 --> 00:08:20,897
All right, lads.

155
00:08:20,967 --> 00:08:22,765
Listen! Quiet! Listen!

156
00:08:22,836 --> 00:08:25,829
I said quiet!

157
00:08:25,905 --> 00:08:29,569
I am not here to dispute
your right to protest

158
00:08:29,642 --> 00:08:32,510
at the unethical employment
policy of this company.

159
00:08:32,579 --> 00:08:34,775
But please, in the name
of common decency,

160
00:08:34,848 --> 00:08:36,646
let the police do their jobs.

161
00:08:38,985 --> 00:08:40,613
Don't allow yourselves
to be painted

162
00:08:40,687 --> 00:08:43,623
as a mob of cold-hearted thugs.

163
00:08:43,690 --> 00:08:46,717
A man is dead.

164
00:08:46,793 --> 00:08:50,059
Show a bit of respect, eh, lads?

165
00:08:53,133 --> 00:08:55,159
Away, then.

166
00:08:55,235 --> 00:08:59,002
Hey, Adolf, did you see that?

167
00:08:59,072 --> 00:09:00,938
Now, that's what
I call leadership.

168
00:10:03,236 --> 00:10:04,932
Single stab wound.

169
00:10:05,004 --> 00:10:09,339
By the depth of the incision,
some kind of stiletto knife.

170
00:10:09,609 --> 00:10:11,976
Not something you'd
purchase on the high street.

171
00:10:12,045 --> 00:10:14,742
- More specialist, would you say?
- Yeah.

172
00:10:14,814 --> 00:10:17,841
Inserted between the ribs
and straight up into the heart.

173
00:10:17,917 --> 00:10:19,215
Death would have been instant.

174
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:21,914
So, either the
killer got lucky, or...

175
00:10:21,988 --> 00:10:24,856
he knew exactly what
he was doing, right?

176
00:10:24,924 --> 00:10:26,893
You said it, but
you're not wrong.

177
00:10:29,929 --> 00:10:31,941
So, you really think one of
those pickets could, what,

178
00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:33,729
assassinate a scab?

179
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:34,961
Ah-ah. Not a scab.

180
00:10:35,034 --> 00:10:37,868
Non-union labor, all
right? We're impartial.

181
00:10:37,937 --> 00:10:39,215
- You remember that.
- I'm just saying.

182
00:10:39,239 --> 00:10:41,208
I don't think we should
rule out the other forces

183
00:10:41,274 --> 00:10:43,334
who'd like to see those
pickets discredited.

184
00:10:43,409 --> 00:10:45,071
All right. Okay. All right.

185
00:10:45,145 --> 00:10:48,206
So, that, uh, that
building company's hired

186
00:10:48,281 --> 00:10:49,909
a double agent, have they?

187
00:10:49,983 --> 00:10:51,349
An agent provocateur?

188
00:10:51,417 --> 00:10:53,129
- I didn't say that, exactly.
- Yeah, right.

189
00:10:53,153 --> 00:10:55,748
So, you've been spending
far too much time with the gov.

190
00:10:58,424 --> 00:10:59,824
Look, Johnny Wilson's death

191
00:10:59,893 --> 00:11:02,385
might have had nothing
to do with that dispute.

192
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:04,273
And maybe somebody
else was out to get him

193
00:11:04,297 --> 00:11:07,028
and for some
other reason, right?

194
00:11:08,168 --> 00:11:10,831
Are you gonna organize a do

195
00:11:10,904 --> 00:11:14,272
for the Gov to
mark his retirement?

196
00:11:17,777 --> 00:11:20,178
I don't think he'd
want me there, Rachel.

197
00:11:20,246 --> 00:11:23,683
- He'll come round.
- Will he?

198
00:11:24,918 --> 00:11:27,820
Look, in two weeks'
time, he'll be gone.

199
00:11:33,826 --> 00:11:35,385
I don't want to end
it on a sour note.

200
00:11:35,461 --> 00:11:37,760
I don't.

201
00:11:47,073 --> 00:11:48,302
Excuse me.

202
00:11:53,813 --> 00:11:56,180
- You made it.
- I made it.

203
00:11:59,452 --> 00:12:02,217
Lesley Pierce, age 19.

204
00:12:02,288 --> 00:12:05,850
She was found dead
the 27th of July, 1966,

205
00:12:05,925 --> 00:12:08,156
close to the record
factory where she worked

206
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:11,198
in Washington... County
Durham, not D.C...

207
00:12:11,264 --> 00:12:13,096
Which is why we're
asking for your help.

208
00:12:15,268 --> 00:12:17,169
It was a violent attack,

209
00:12:17,237 --> 00:12:20,264
although there doesn't seem to
have been any sexual element.

210
00:12:20,340 --> 00:12:21,399
Cause of death?

211
00:12:21,474 --> 00:12:23,102
Massive internal bleeding

212
00:12:23,176 --> 00:12:25,839
as a result of a fracture
to the back of her skull.

213
00:12:25,912 --> 00:12:29,405
So, what exactly is the problem?

214
00:12:29,482 --> 00:12:31,451
No one was ever charged.

215
00:12:31,517 --> 00:12:34,783
It does happen.

216
00:12:34,854 --> 00:12:36,914
Who was the officer in charge?

217
00:12:36,990 --> 00:12:40,085
D.C.I. Alan Kidd.

218
00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:41,889
Didn't he leave the force?

219
00:12:41,961 --> 00:12:43,987
Took early retirement
not long after.

220
00:12:44,063 --> 00:12:45,224
Lives in Portugal now,

221
00:12:45,298 --> 00:12:47,426
and he's not
returning our calls.

222
00:12:50,136 --> 00:12:51,434
Listen, George,

223
00:12:51,504 --> 00:12:53,803
I know this crime didn't
happen in your patch,

224
00:12:53,873 --> 00:12:55,466
but it's your neck of the woods

225
00:12:55,541 --> 00:12:57,901
and we thought you might know
some of the officers involved.

226
00:12:59,212 --> 00:13:03,047
So, what exactly
would I be looking for?

227
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:04,982
Any irregularities
in the inquiry

228
00:13:05,051 --> 00:13:06,917
that would be of concern

229
00:13:06,986 --> 00:13:08,852
tod the Special
Investigations Unit.

230
00:13:08,921 --> 00:13:12,187
This all happened up
north. Why is it in your remit?

231
00:13:14,961 --> 00:13:16,429
Two days ago,

232
00:13:16,496 --> 00:13:19,933
we had an anonymous
tip-off about this inquiry.

233
00:13:19,999 --> 00:13:26,235
They told us the police buried
evidence and protected someone.

234
00:13:26,306 --> 00:13:29,333
- Protected who?
- The caller didn't say,

235
00:13:29,409 --> 00:13:31,241
and he wouldn't
identify himself.

236
00:13:31,311 --> 00:13:39,219
But... he sounded
scared. Very scared.

237
00:13:39,285 --> 00:13:42,483
We traced it to a phone
box in Storey's Gate.

238
00:13:42,555 --> 00:13:44,421
In Whitehall?

239
00:13:46,859 --> 00:13:49,852
Hardly something
we can ignore, is it?

240
00:14:16,522 --> 00:14:21,017
- Mrs. Pierce? Eileen Pierce?
- Yeah.

241
00:14:21,094 --> 00:14:24,064
Thank you for
agreeing to meet me.

242
00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:25,928
I didn't want you at the house.

243
00:14:25,998 --> 00:14:27,899
My husband won't
talk to the police.

244
00:14:27,967 --> 00:14:30,459
- Mm-hmm.
- He thinks you let us down.

245
00:14:30,536 --> 00:14:31,936
He's not wrong, is he?

246
00:14:32,004 --> 00:14:35,270
There are a few officers
on the force, myself included,

247
00:14:35,341 --> 00:14:37,276
who are not satisfied
with the inquiry

248
00:14:37,343 --> 00:14:38,641
into your daughter's death.

249
00:14:38,911 --> 00:14:41,005
Whoever killed her,

250
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,946
we could be sitting
on the bus with him

251
00:14:43,015 --> 00:14:44,984
or standing next
to him in the pub.

252
00:14:45,051 --> 00:14:46,952
What makes you
think he was local?

253
00:14:47,019 --> 00:14:48,163
Did the police tell you that?

254
00:14:48,187 --> 00:14:51,919
No. They didn't tell us much.

255
00:14:51,991 --> 00:14:53,459
It's just down here.

256
00:14:53,526 --> 00:14:55,017
Mm.

257
00:14:58,097 --> 00:15:04,230
It was over there they found
her the morning after the party.

258
00:15:06,172 --> 00:15:07,649
And that's the factory
where she worked?

259
00:15:07,673 --> 00:15:09,073
Mm-hmm.

260
00:15:10,610 --> 00:15:12,101
They were having a reception

261
00:15:12,178 --> 00:15:15,410
for the opening of
the new pressing plant.

262
00:15:15,481 --> 00:15:18,383
That was the last
time anyone saw her.

263
00:15:18,451 --> 00:15:20,511
- Big party?
- Oh, aye.

264
00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:22,487
Lots of important
people were there...

265
00:15:22,555 --> 00:15:27,050
All the local bigwigs,
people from London, as well.

266
00:15:27,126 --> 00:15:29,061
London? Hmm.

267
00:15:29,128 --> 00:15:30,619
It's a big company.

268
00:15:30,696 --> 00:15:32,631
"Multinational,"
they call themselves.

269
00:15:32,698 --> 00:15:34,394
Mm-hmm.

270
00:15:36,669 --> 00:15:39,138
And were you living at the
same address back then?

271
00:15:39,205 --> 00:15:42,505
Uh-huh.

272
00:15:42,575 --> 00:15:45,135
So, this wasn't on her way home?

273
00:15:45,211 --> 00:15:46,577
No.

274
00:15:46,646 --> 00:15:50,640
But, if she was forced
or dragged here,

275
00:15:50,716 --> 00:15:52,651
then somebody
would have seen it.

276
00:15:56,522 --> 00:15:58,100
I'm sorry to be putting
you through this.

277
00:15:58,124 --> 00:16:01,151
Here.

278
00:16:01,227 --> 00:16:03,128
Are you all right?

279
00:16:03,196 --> 00:16:05,222
Here.

280
00:16:11,270 --> 00:16:12,670
Could you make me a list

281
00:16:12,738 --> 00:16:16,197
of all Lesley's friends
and acquaintances,

282
00:16:16,275 --> 00:16:18,608
anybody you can think of?

283
00:16:20,546 --> 00:16:22,071
All right. Thanks.

284
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:36,125
People sleeping here?

285
00:16:36,195 --> 00:16:38,096
Yeah, well, it's a
round-the-clock operation.

286
00:16:38,164 --> 00:16:39,325
They picket in shifts.

287
00:16:39,398 --> 00:16:40,576
They've been brought in
from all over the country.

288
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,263
Comrade Owen. A word, please.

289
00:16:43,336 --> 00:16:47,103
More harassment from
the state bully boys, eh?

290
00:16:47,173 --> 00:16:48,550
All right, then,
sweetheart. Now, listen.

291
00:16:48,574 --> 00:16:51,305
I need a list of all the
names and addresses

292
00:16:51,377 --> 00:16:53,642
of everyone that was here
at the picket line yesterday.

293
00:16:53,713 --> 00:16:55,511
All right?

294
00:16:55,581 --> 00:16:58,141
You show me the responsible
face of the trade union movement.

295
00:16:58,217 --> 00:17:01,415
Responsibility?
Bourgeois concept.

296
00:17:01,487 --> 00:17:02,648
He's talking Swahili.

297
00:17:02,722 --> 00:17:04,315
Which means I can't
be held responsible

298
00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:07,383
if one of my supporters takes
the law into his own hands.

299
00:17:07,460 --> 00:17:13,457
Your dead man was a
casualty of war, class war.

300
00:17:13,533 --> 00:17:15,798
Hey, do you know what?

301
00:17:16,068 --> 00:17:18,503
Not all workers want to
be in the union, you know?

302
00:17:18,571 --> 00:17:20,437
My Uncle Tommy's
a hod carrier, right,

303
00:17:20,506 --> 00:17:21,701
and him and his brickies

304
00:17:21,774 --> 00:17:24,437
are the best squad in
the whole North East.

305
00:17:24,510 --> 00:17:26,570
And the last thing
that those lads want

306
00:17:26,646 --> 00:17:28,410
is a limit on how many
hours they can work

307
00:17:28,481 --> 00:17:29,758
or how many
bricks they can shift.

308
00:17:29,782 --> 00:17:32,047
They just want to
buy their own home,

309
00:17:32,118 --> 00:17:33,746
send their kids to
a decent school.

310
00:17:33,819 --> 00:17:36,448
And you and your kind
just don't get that, do you?

311
00:17:36,522 --> 00:17:38,787
- You poor, ignorant sap.
- Oh.

312
00:17:39,058 --> 00:17:42,222
We will need all of your people
to identify themselves to us.

313
00:17:42,295 --> 00:17:43,763
We'll want full statements

314
00:17:43,829 --> 00:17:45,107
and photos of all
of you, all right,

315
00:17:45,131 --> 00:17:47,532
for process of elimination.

316
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,330
Right. I'll start
with you, Fidel.

317
00:17:49,402 --> 00:17:51,769
All right?

318
00:18:07,219 --> 00:18:09,120
Here we are.

319
00:18:09,188 --> 00:18:10,747
You know, not
many people can say,

320
00:18:10,823 --> 00:18:14,191
"I made every one
of these records."

321
00:18:14,260 --> 00:18:16,627
Over there's where
we press the vinyl.

322
00:18:16,696 --> 00:18:19,791
Three number-one
singles already this year.

323
00:18:19,865 --> 00:18:22,460
'Course, I'm a Stax man myself.

324
00:18:22,535 --> 00:18:24,834
Always have been,
always will be.

325
00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:27,198
Here we are.

326
00:18:27,273 --> 00:18:28,741
Thank you.

327
00:18:31,143 --> 00:18:34,341
Yes, so, how can I help?

328
00:18:34,413 --> 00:18:37,815
I'm looking into the
killing of Lesley Pierce.

329
00:18:39,251 --> 00:18:41,379
Did you know Lesley personally?

330
00:18:41,454 --> 00:18:43,753
Um, uh, no.

331
00:18:43,823 --> 00:18:45,416
No, I didn't, not personally.

332
00:18:45,491 --> 00:18:47,255
You know, I knew her to see

333
00:18:47,326 --> 00:18:49,227
She was one of the
girls in the typing pool.

334
00:18:49,295 --> 00:18:50,729
Isn't this case closed?

335
00:18:50,796 --> 00:18:54,392
Not as long as Lesley's
killer is still out there.

336
00:18:57,269 --> 00:18:59,238
It was a terrible
blow for this place.

337
00:18:59,305 --> 00:19:01,399
Yeah.

338
00:19:01,474 --> 00:19:04,308
For the town... the new town.

339
00:19:04,377 --> 00:19:07,370
We all moved here to get
away from things like that.

340
00:19:07,446 --> 00:19:09,540
Did the police take statements

341
00:19:09,615 --> 00:19:12,278
from everybody who
was at that party?

342
00:19:12,351 --> 00:19:14,911
Yes. Of course.

343
00:19:15,187 --> 00:19:16,712
Isn't all this in your files?

344
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:19,190
I'm going to need a list of
everybody who was there.

345
00:19:19,258 --> 00:19:20,453
Well didn't they...

346
00:19:20,526 --> 00:19:22,893
They went through
everyone at the time...

347
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:26,223
Workers, management, guests.

348
00:19:26,298 --> 00:19:27,376
It wasn't anyone from here.

349
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,766
It was some, you know,

350
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:30,860
some nutter from
who knows where.

351
00:19:30,936 --> 00:19:32,768
Have you got a guest list?

352
00:19:37,276 --> 00:19:38,820
I'll give you what I gave
the police four years ago.

353
00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:41,871
Oh.

354
00:19:47,453 --> 00:19:49,513
People laugh at new towns.

355
00:19:49,588 --> 00:19:51,557
But I had enough
of life in London.

356
00:19:51,624 --> 00:19:54,685
We wanted to have a
family, so we moved here.

357
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,320
It was the best
thing we ever did.

358
00:20:00,299 --> 00:20:03,565
When my wife first
saw our new house...

359
00:20:03,636 --> 00:20:09,940
Back garden, quiet street,
no trouble on your front door...

360
00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:12,610
She burst into tears.

361
00:20:13,946 --> 00:20:16,245
Who cares if all the
trees are the same size?

362
00:20:18,684 --> 00:20:20,983
This place was
always crime-free,

363
00:20:21,253 --> 00:20:25,281
until what happened
to... To Lesley.

364
00:20:26,892 --> 00:20:28,827
Is that Michael Clements?

365
00:20:28,894 --> 00:20:30,920
Yeah. Yeah, he
was our local M.P.

366
00:20:30,996 --> 00:20:32,464
Well, he still is.

367
00:20:32,531 --> 00:20:36,298
- Uh, back then, he was, uh...
- A government minister.

368
00:20:36,368 --> 00:20:39,338
I'm a Liberal myself... always
have been, always will be.

369
00:20:39,405 --> 00:20:42,307
But Michael Clements,
he's a good one.

370
00:20:42,374 --> 00:20:44,639
Spends a lot of time
here in Washington.

371
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:47,475
He helped me get this
place up and running.

372
00:20:47,546 --> 00:20:50,015
He cares about Washington.

373
00:20:50,282 --> 00:20:54,276
Cares about his
voters. You know.

374
00:20:57,757 --> 00:20:59,589
The night Lesley died,

375
00:20:59,658 --> 00:21:03,356
there was a big party at
the place where she worked.

376
00:21:03,429 --> 00:21:06,456
The guest of honor
was Michael Clements.

377
00:21:06,532 --> 00:21:08,763
One moment.

378
00:21:18,310 --> 00:21:19,869
There have been rumors

379
00:21:19,945 --> 00:21:25,475
about Clements'
weakness for women.

380
00:21:25,551 --> 00:21:28,385
Yeah, well, it's not
against the law, is it?

381
00:21:28,454 --> 00:21:31,822
No, but apparently,
he doesn't take well

382
00:21:31,891 --> 00:21:33,757
to not getting what he wants.

383
00:21:33,826 --> 00:21:37,354
Bit of a short fuse, but...

384
00:21:37,429 --> 00:21:38,624
Michael Clements.

385
00:21:38,697 --> 00:21:42,327
The tip-off about
someone being protected

386
00:21:42,401 --> 00:21:44,768
came from inside Whitehall.

387
00:21:44,837 --> 00:21:47,932
Michael Clements was
in government at the time.

388
00:21:48,007 --> 00:21:51,341
It's not something
we can ignore, is it?

389
00:22:02,721 --> 00:22:05,850
The landlady said Johnny
Wilson moved in six weeks ago.

390
00:22:05,925 --> 00:22:08,520
First floor, room 8.

391
00:22:08,594 --> 00:22:09,857
See?

392
00:22:09,929 --> 00:22:13,024
They can't wait to
blame the unions.

393
00:22:13,098 --> 00:22:16,535
Well, it's the
logical conclusion.

394
00:22:18,437 --> 00:22:20,099
You know what
these pickets are like.

395
00:22:20,372 --> 00:22:22,102
Professional troublemakers,
the lot of them.

396
00:22:22,374 --> 00:22:25,037
Or just blokes with wives
and kids who've lost their jobs.

397
00:22:25,110 --> 00:22:26,544
I want this phone checked.

398
00:22:26,612 --> 00:22:29,548
All calls in and out the
last six weeks, all right?

399
00:22:29,615 --> 00:22:32,483
These lefties are a
violent lot, Rachel.

400
00:22:32,551 --> 00:22:34,782
I mean, look what
happened to Nijinsky.

401
00:22:34,854 --> 00:22:36,948
Got an ax through his
head in Bolivia, didn't he?

402
00:22:37,022 --> 00:22:39,753
- Mexico, and it was Trotsky.
- What's that?

403
00:22:39,825 --> 00:22:41,817
Oh. Trotsky got an
ax through his head.

404
00:22:41,894 --> 00:22:43,419
Nijinsky was a ballet dancer.

405
00:22:43,495 --> 00:22:46,055
Nijinsky is a horse, Rachel.

406
00:22:46,131 --> 00:22:48,965
Just won the triple crown.

407
00:22:54,406 --> 00:22:57,467
See that?

408
00:23:14,927 --> 00:23:17,761
The TV's still here,
the record player.

409
00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:19,696
Doesn't look like a robbery.

410
00:23:21,033 --> 00:23:23,628
If it wasn't, what
were they after?

411
00:23:25,504 --> 00:23:27,564
Sir.

412
00:23:30,109 --> 00:23:31,543
Sorry, sir.

413
00:23:31,610 --> 00:23:34,102
Removal men just
dumped 'em like this.

414
00:23:34,179 --> 00:23:36,944
You don't say.

415
00:23:37,016 --> 00:23:41,613
I'll, uh... I'll leave
you to it, sir.

416
00:24:14,687 --> 00:24:16,656
Ah! You're back, then.

417
00:24:16,722 --> 00:24:19,021
Only till the end of the month.

418
00:24:20,159 --> 00:24:22,185
Well, you're the
hero of the beach.

419
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:23,986
It's all over the papers.

420
00:24:24,063 --> 00:24:28,558
George finally slays the
dragons of police corruption.

421
00:24:28,634 --> 00:24:32,071
Well I think it's great
what you did, sir.

422
00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:34,470
Makes us proud to do what I do.

423
00:24:34,540 --> 00:24:35,735
Tone it down.

424
00:24:35,808 --> 00:24:38,209
Thank you, Rachel.
I appreciate that.

425
00:24:38,477 --> 00:24:41,140
Your picket line murder...
I want a full briefing.

426
00:24:43,048 --> 00:24:45,210
Right.

427
00:25:01,567 --> 00:25:02,694
Right.

428
00:25:02,768 --> 00:25:04,703
So, obviously, we're focusing on

429
00:25:04,770 --> 00:25:06,796
all the people with motive
to wanting him dead...

430
00:25:06,872 --> 00:25:08,500
The pickets.

431
00:25:08,574 --> 00:25:09,701
Press photos, these,

432
00:25:09,775 --> 00:25:11,266
taken before he was stabbed.

433
00:25:11,543 --> 00:25:14,570
That's him. That's our
victim... Johnny Wilson.

434
00:25:14,646 --> 00:25:16,091
Which means that we're
looking at his killer, here,

435
00:25:16,115 --> 00:25:18,710
somewhere among this lot.

436
00:25:18,784 --> 00:25:20,184
All 216 of them.

437
00:25:20,252 --> 00:25:23,984
Mm. Who we're tracing,
interviewing, and photographing.

438
00:25:24,056 --> 00:25:27,083
So, we check
these against these.

439
00:25:27,159 --> 00:25:28,991
It's process of elimination.

440
00:25:29,061 --> 00:25:31,155
- It's only a matter of time.
- What about the ones

441
00:25:31,230 --> 00:25:33,062
with question marks
over their faces?

442
00:25:33,132 --> 00:25:34,609
Blokes with a
history of violence,

443
00:25:34,633 --> 00:25:36,625
political or otherwise.

444
00:25:36,702 --> 00:25:37,879
We've been getting
them in for questioning.

445
00:25:37,903 --> 00:25:39,201
Yeah, I'd also look at anybody

446
00:25:39,271 --> 00:25:40,782
with a professional
military background.

447
00:25:40,806 --> 00:25:42,297
Yeah, of course, sir.

448
00:25:42,574 --> 00:25:44,953
There could be more to this than
someone lashing out at a scab.

449
00:25:44,977 --> 00:25:46,605
The victim's flat was ransacked,

450
00:25:46,678 --> 00:25:48,146
and the murder
seems professional.

451
00:25:48,213 --> 00:25:49,958
No, come on, if you're going
to assassinate someone,

452
00:25:49,982 --> 00:25:53,009
you do it up a side
street, don't you,

453
00:25:53,085 --> 00:25:55,645
or at his home or
somewhere remote.

454
00:25:55,721 --> 00:25:56,898
You don't do it on a picket line

455
00:25:56,922 --> 00:25:58,242
in front of hundreds
of witnesses,

456
00:25:58,290 --> 00:26:00,020
half of them coppers,

457
00:26:00,092 --> 00:26:01,924
with a load of press
hanging around, do you?

458
00:26:01,994 --> 00:26:03,963
Unless you're trying
to frame the unions.

459
00:26:04,029 --> 00:26:06,123
Sir.

460
00:26:06,198 --> 00:26:08,758
I have a woman on the line
here, she sounds all upset.

461
00:26:08,834 --> 00:26:10,200
She wants to
speak to the officer

462
00:26:10,269 --> 00:26:12,204
in charge of the picket
line murder inquiry.

463
00:26:12,271 --> 00:26:13,933
Well, it's a complicated case.

464
00:26:14,006 --> 00:26:17,807
I'm not going to be here
long enough to see it through.

465
00:26:17,876 --> 00:26:20,778
It's all yours, D.I. Bacchus.

466
00:26:20,846 --> 00:26:23,975
- Rachel, quick word.
- Yeah.

467
00:26:26,185 --> 00:26:28,211
Yeah. D.I. Bacchus.

468
00:26:28,287 --> 00:26:31,086
- Shut the door.
- Oh, yeah.

469
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,250
I've been looking
into an old case.

470
00:26:35,627 --> 00:26:38,791
Lesley Pierce.

471
00:26:38,864 --> 00:26:43,302
She was found dead on a pathway
in Washington four years ago.

472
00:26:43,368 --> 00:26:46,964
Now I've had a look at
the postmortem report,

473
00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:48,316
and there are
some pages missing.

474
00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:52,072
Now, they could have been lost
or they could have been removed.

475
00:26:52,144 --> 00:26:53,806
I've also had a look
at the crime scene,

476
00:26:53,879 --> 00:26:56,747
and it's very unlikely that
she was dragged there

477
00:26:56,815 --> 00:26:58,010
or forced there.

478
00:26:58,083 --> 00:26:59,278
And this.

479
00:27:00,219 --> 00:27:05,157
You see, there's
bruises to the face,

480
00:27:05,224 --> 00:27:07,386
but the cause of death

481
00:27:07,659 --> 00:27:09,389
was a fracture to
the back of skull.

482
00:27:09,661 --> 00:27:11,254
Looks like a blow
struck in anger.

483
00:27:11,330 --> 00:27:12,992
Which would suggest
she knew her killer.

484
00:27:13,065 --> 00:27:15,091
Exactly. So...

485
00:27:17,035 --> 00:27:20,199
I need you to go through
all the witness statements

486
00:27:20,272 --> 00:27:23,071
and cross-reference
them with this.

487
00:27:23,142 --> 00:27:24,633
This is a guest list of a party

488
00:27:24,710 --> 00:27:27,646
that she was at the last
night she was seen alive.

489
00:27:27,713 --> 00:27:31,878
And this is Lesley's
friends and acquaintances.

490
00:27:31,950 --> 00:27:34,317
Anybody on either of those lists

491
00:27:34,386 --> 00:27:36,821
hasn't got a
statement in this file,

492
00:27:36,889 --> 00:27:39,085
you let me know.
- Mm-hmm.

493
00:27:39,158 --> 00:27:42,925
And, uh, no need to
mention it to John, all right?

494
00:27:46,932 --> 00:27:49,060
That was the victim's sister.

495
00:27:49,134 --> 00:27:51,330
She recognized him
from his photo in the paper

496
00:27:51,403 --> 00:27:53,872
underneath all that
hair and that beard.

497
00:27:53,939 --> 00:27:56,875
Johnny Wilson is a false name.
His real name is Mark Hogg.

498
00:27:56,942 --> 00:27:58,219
So he was planted
amongst the scabs...

499
00:27:58,243 --> 00:28:01,407
- What?
- Non-union labor...

500
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,160
To keep them
crossing the picket line?

501
00:28:03,215 --> 00:28:04,945
Keep up the morale?

502
00:28:05,017 --> 00:28:07,885
I see you've tied your
ponytail a bit too tight again.

503
00:28:07,953 --> 00:28:10,320
He was a journalist.

504
00:28:10,389 --> 00:28:12,881
I'm going to go and see his
editor over in Manchester,

505
00:28:12,958 --> 00:28:14,859
see what he was working on.

506
00:28:14,927 --> 00:28:16,896
You know?

507
00:28:22,201 --> 00:28:25,296
Michael Clements.
He's not a suspect, is he?

508
00:28:25,370 --> 00:28:28,033
Everybody on that
list is a suspect.

509
00:28:36,348 --> 00:28:40,183
What's happening, Michael?

510
00:28:40,252 --> 00:28:43,882
This place used to be
an old naval firing range.

511
00:28:43,956 --> 00:28:47,825
They're getting rid of
the unexploded shells.

512
00:28:49,861 --> 00:28:53,229
Come on. Time to dazzle them.

513
00:28:55,901 --> 00:28:58,894
I am a man of the north,
ladies and gentlemen.

514
00:28:58,971 --> 00:29:01,907
I believe in the north,
I believe in its people,

515
00:29:01,974 --> 00:29:03,499
and I believe passionately

516
00:29:03,775 --> 00:29:07,041
that unless we equip
ourselves for the future,

517
00:29:07,112 --> 00:29:10,879
we will be condemned to
long-term, mass unemployment.

518
00:29:10,949 --> 00:29:16,149
If we do not regenerate now,
today, our people will suffer.

519
00:29:16,221 --> 00:29:20,022
And so, I give
you Marwick Point.

520
00:29:30,969 --> 00:29:32,835
Four years ago,

521
00:29:32,904 --> 00:29:35,373
when Mr. Wilson ejected
me from the cabinet

522
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,875
for daring to protest

523
00:29:37,943 --> 00:29:39,912
at the American
war in Vietnam...

524
00:29:41,213 --> 00:29:43,375
I was forced back to my roots,

525
00:29:43,448 --> 00:29:46,213
to the values of my
parents and grandparents,

526
00:29:46,285 --> 00:29:50,120
the community of decent, working
people in which I was raised.

527
00:29:50,188 --> 00:29:54,489
And so, along with the
Marwick Point Working Party,

528
00:29:54,559 --> 00:30:00,556
I've striven tirelessly to
turn the dream into reality...

529
00:30:00,832 --> 00:30:05,964
A reality that will bring jobs
and prosperity to our people.

530
00:30:13,445 --> 00:30:18,247
An airport, high-speed
railway station,

531
00:30:18,317 --> 00:30:20,548
trans-Pennine motorway links,

532
00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:24,381
a bridge across the Humber
connecting us to the south,

533
00:30:24,456 --> 00:30:27,483
a super dock to accommodate

534
00:30:27,559 --> 00:30:29,528
the giant oil
tankers of the future

535
00:30:29,594 --> 00:30:34,259
in the North Sea...
Facing east, not west...

536
00:30:34,333 --> 00:30:38,065
Because Europe is
where our destiny lies.

537
00:30:38,136 --> 00:30:41,163
We must break our
economic, military,

538
00:30:41,239 --> 00:30:43,504
and political dependence
on the United States

539
00:30:43,575 --> 00:30:46,511
and look towards
Europe for the future.

540
00:30:46,578 --> 00:30:49,946
And we in the north are
the people with the skills,

541
00:30:50,015 --> 00:30:52,610
the enterprise, the
ambition, the creativity,

542
00:30:52,884 --> 00:30:55,012
to lead Britain and
Europe forwards.

543
00:30:58,890 --> 00:31:02,452
The working people in
the vanguard of the north!

544
00:31:02,527 --> 00:31:07,397
The north in the
vanguard of a new Europe!

545
00:31:16,308 --> 00:31:18,573
What about the trade unions?

546
00:31:18,643 --> 00:31:21,203
You didn't mention
them in your speech.

547
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:24,374
Aren't the trade unions
part of your golden future?

548
00:31:24,449 --> 00:31:27,214
Mr. Clements is negotiating
with the trade union leaders.

549
00:31:27,285 --> 00:31:30,084
But the leadership's not
the problem, is it, Michael?

550
00:31:30,155 --> 00:31:33,956
It's the shop stewards,
the Marxists, the Maoists,

551
00:31:34,025 --> 00:31:35,516
agitators like Owen Thompson

552
00:31:35,594 --> 00:31:38,530
who don't give a shit
about the working man.

553
00:31:38,597 --> 00:31:41,328
- I didn't know you cared, Gerry.
- I don't.

554
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,234
Then you should be
ashamed of yourself.

555
00:31:44,302 --> 00:31:45,998
- You have a question, miss?
- Yes.

556
00:31:46,071 --> 00:31:48,404
Sorry, gentlemen. Mr. Clements
is on a tight schedule.

557
00:31:54,379 --> 00:31:55,938
Can't you stop this for a while?

558
00:31:56,014 --> 00:31:58,040
- Stop what, Adele?
- These young women.

559
00:31:58,116 --> 00:32:00,449
My sex life is
outside your remit.

560
00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:03,489
Not when it affects your
chances of getting elected.

561
00:32:03,555 --> 00:32:05,990
You know, Adele, you're
not the only ambitious,

562
00:32:06,057 --> 00:32:08,069
highly principled woman to
go to hell and back for me.

563
00:32:08,093 --> 00:32:10,688
- Don't forget that.
- Mr. Clements.

564
00:32:10,962 --> 00:32:13,693
Excuse me. I'm
D.C.I. George Gently.

565
00:32:13,965 --> 00:32:16,059
I'd like to talk to you
about Lesley Pierce.

566
00:32:16,134 --> 00:32:19,195
She was found dead
close to the record factory

567
00:32:19,271 --> 00:32:20,637
in Washington.

568
00:32:20,705 --> 00:32:23,368
I remember.

569
00:32:23,442 --> 00:32:25,001
You've reopened that inquiry?

570
00:32:25,076 --> 00:32:28,979
I'm investigating
the investigation.

571
00:32:29,047 --> 00:32:30,291
If you'd like to make
an appointment...

572
00:32:30,315 --> 00:32:33,046
No, no, no. Let's, uh...

573
00:32:33,118 --> 00:32:35,485
Let's help Detective
Chief Inspector Gently

574
00:32:35,554 --> 00:32:37,489
to get this cleared up now.

575
00:32:37,556 --> 00:32:41,254
Thank you, sir. I
appreciate that. Excuse me.

576
00:32:41,326 --> 00:32:45,696
So, what's the problem?
Holes in the original inquiry?

577
00:32:45,964 --> 00:32:47,227
We don't know.

578
00:32:47,299 --> 00:32:50,030
Who's we?

579
00:32:50,101 --> 00:32:52,036
Did you know Lesley personally?

580
00:32:52,103 --> 00:32:54,129
No. Why would I?

581
00:32:54,206 --> 00:32:57,040
Are you here in
an official capacity?

582
00:32:57,108 --> 00:32:59,600
Washington being
in your constituency,

583
00:32:59,678 --> 00:33:01,169
you go there a lot,

584
00:33:01,246 --> 00:33:04,307
so maybe you came
in contact with Lesley.

585
00:33:04,382 --> 00:33:07,750
19 years old.
Extremely attractive.

586
00:33:08,019 --> 00:33:10,318
Well, you've done
your homework on me.

587
00:33:10,388 --> 00:33:12,584
I like young women, and
young women like me.

588
00:33:12,657 --> 00:33:16,424
There's a lot of sex involved.
It's not against the law, is it?

589
00:33:16,495 --> 00:33:18,327
But here's the funny thing.

590
00:33:18,396 --> 00:33:20,524
Just as we're about to break
ground on Marwick Point,

591
00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:22,239
you show up, putting
me in the cross hairs

592
00:33:22,267 --> 00:33:24,133
of a 4-year-old murder inquiry.

593
00:33:24,202 --> 00:33:28,333
You were in Washington that
day for the opening of the plant.

594
00:33:28,406 --> 00:33:31,069
And you were at
the party afterwards,

595
00:33:31,142 --> 00:33:34,408
which was the last time
anybody saw Lesley alive.

596
00:33:34,479 --> 00:33:36,471
Hundreds of people
were at that party.

597
00:33:36,548 --> 00:33:39,211
Just like that
picket-line murder...

598
00:33:39,284 --> 00:33:41,185
Hundreds of suspects,

599
00:33:41,253 --> 00:33:44,018
hundreds of union
men who hate scabs.

600
00:33:44,089 --> 00:33:46,615
No, no, no. He wasn't a scab.

601
00:33:46,691 --> 00:33:49,627
He was a journalist
working undercover.

602
00:33:49,694 --> 00:33:51,185
Name of Mark Hogg.

603
00:33:51,263 --> 00:33:53,198
Does that mean anything to you?

604
00:33:53,265 --> 00:33:56,497
You're not trying to pin
that one on me, too, are you?

605
00:33:56,568 --> 00:33:59,595
No. It means nothing to me.

606
00:33:59,671 --> 00:34:02,664
And I had nothing to do
with the death of that girl.

607
00:34:04,175 --> 00:34:06,076
But before you go
any further with this,

608
00:34:06,144 --> 00:34:10,172
whatever this is, you
need to understand.

609
00:34:13,051 --> 00:34:14,644
A storm is going
to hit this country.

610
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,278
The empire's done,

611
00:34:16,354 --> 00:34:18,448
the old industries have
gone down the tubes,

612
00:34:18,523 --> 00:34:20,134
and there's going to
be a day of reckoning

613
00:34:20,158 --> 00:34:22,354
when the new government...
Maybe Labour, maybe Tory...

614
00:34:22,427 --> 00:34:25,397
Turns round and says,
"The party's over, folks.

615
00:34:25,463 --> 00:34:29,230
There's no more money,
no more dole, no more NHS.

616
00:34:29,301 --> 00:34:33,238
Leave it all to
the free market."

617
00:34:33,305 --> 00:34:36,366
Our people need to
be ready for that day,

618
00:34:36,441 --> 00:34:38,433
they need to be
ready for the future.

619
00:34:38,510 --> 00:34:41,571
And you're the man
to lead them there?

620
00:34:41,646 --> 00:34:43,672
Yes.

621
00:34:43,748 --> 00:34:46,115
So, what's a dead
girl here or there

622
00:34:46,184 --> 00:34:49,677
on the road to the
promised land, eh?

623
00:34:49,754 --> 00:34:53,213
Well ask yourself
this, George Gently...

624
00:34:53,291 --> 00:34:55,487
Why me?

625
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,257
And why now, eh?

626
00:35:05,403 --> 00:35:08,237
- What?
- Get in the car.

627
00:35:16,281 --> 00:35:20,275
Adele, just get in the car!

628
00:35:27,258 --> 00:35:29,420
I've spoken to
Mark Hogg's editor.

629
00:35:29,494 --> 00:35:31,360
He told me that Hogg
was looking for proof

630
00:35:31,429 --> 00:35:34,695
that when Bateson-Donnelly
fired their unionized workers

631
00:35:34,766 --> 00:35:37,258
that they were put up
to it by the government.

632
00:35:37,335 --> 00:35:38,813
In fact, the whole
dispute's been cooked up

633
00:35:38,837 --> 00:35:40,533
by the government.

634
00:35:40,605 --> 00:35:43,473
Trial of strength...
Who runs Britain,

635
00:35:43,541 --> 00:35:45,169
the unions or the government?

636
00:35:45,243 --> 00:35:46,621
Well, that would
explain why his flat

637
00:35:46,645 --> 00:35:47,908
was turned over, wouldn't it?

638
00:35:48,179 --> 00:35:50,239
Oh, come on, man. What?

639
00:35:50,315 --> 00:35:52,216
Ted Heath's going
around ordering the killing

640
00:35:52,283 --> 00:35:55,310
of... of reporters
who step on his toes?

641
00:35:55,387 --> 00:35:56,864
I mean, this country's
not perfect sir,

642
00:35:56,888 --> 00:35:59,153
but it's not Nazi
bloody Germany, is it?

643
00:35:59,224 --> 00:36:01,024
There's a difference
between The Government...

644
00:36:01,192 --> 00:36:04,390
Elected politicians... And
the apparatus of the state.

645
00:36:04,462 --> 00:36:06,658
We've got all these ministers
standing up in Parliament

646
00:36:06,731 --> 00:36:08,509
saying the dispute's got
nothing to do with them.

647
00:36:08,533 --> 00:36:10,161
But what if they're lying?

648
00:36:10,235 --> 00:36:11,897
He was killed professionally.

649
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:13,832
Look, John, you're
a good enough cop

650
00:36:13,905 --> 00:36:15,567
to know deep in your bones

651
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,303
there's something
not right about this.

652
00:36:20,845 --> 00:36:22,643
I need to talk to you.

653
00:36:24,249 --> 00:36:25,740
All right.

654
00:36:31,923 --> 00:36:33,585
Does your boss know you're here?

655
00:36:33,658 --> 00:36:35,957
No.

656
00:36:36,227 --> 00:36:38,958
All right, Miss
Watson. I'm listening.

657
00:36:39,230 --> 00:36:42,200
Michael Clements is on
the threshold of greatness.

658
00:36:42,267 --> 00:36:43,929
Heath's government
isn't going to last,

659
00:36:44,202 --> 00:36:47,263
and with the right leader,
Labour can sweep to power.

660
00:36:47,338 --> 00:36:50,502
And Michael, when he
delivers Marwick Point,

661
00:36:50,575 --> 00:36:52,407
will be that leader,

662
00:36:52,477 --> 00:36:53,954
which would be the best
thing that could happen

663
00:36:53,978 --> 00:36:55,674
to this country,
don't you think?

664
00:36:57,215 --> 00:36:59,514
I'm just an old
copper doing his job.

665
00:37:01,753 --> 00:37:03,949
I'm sure you remember
the Depression, Mr. Gently.

666
00:37:04,222 --> 00:37:05,520
I'll never forget it.

667
00:37:07,292 --> 00:37:09,727
Rickets.

668
00:37:09,794 --> 00:37:13,697
Michael was 14 before he
could walk without leg supports.

669
00:37:13,765 --> 00:37:18,260
- Yeah, I'm not sure why...
- Isn't it obvious?

670
00:37:18,336 --> 00:37:22,865
This is a man who won't rest
until he has eradicated poverty.

671
00:37:22,941 --> 00:37:25,376
And what you're doing to
him, persecuting him like this...

672
00:37:25,443 --> 00:37:27,969
No, I'm not persecuting anybody.

673
00:37:28,246 --> 00:37:30,772
As a matter of fact, I've
got a lot of time for your boss

674
00:37:30,849 --> 00:37:32,613
as a politician.

675
00:37:32,684 --> 00:37:34,676
But as a man?

676
00:37:34,753 --> 00:37:36,745
If he was involved
with Lesley Pierce...

677
00:37:36,821 --> 00:37:37,948
He didn't do that.

678
00:37:38,022 --> 00:37:39,547
He had nothing
to do with that girl.

679
00:37:42,660 --> 00:37:44,959
You were at that party,
weren't you, Miss Watson?

680
00:37:45,029 --> 00:37:46,998
I go everywhere with Michael.

681
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:48,961
And you'd do anything for him?

682
00:37:51,402 --> 00:37:52,802
For the greater good.

683
00:37:52,871 --> 00:37:54,806
Even if the greater good costs

684
00:37:54,873 --> 00:37:56,739
the life of an
innocent, young girl?

685
00:37:56,808 --> 00:37:58,606
She wasn't innocent.
None of them are.

686
00:38:02,647 --> 00:38:04,741
Don't you care about the future?

687
00:38:06,618 --> 00:38:09,383
People are going to suffer.

688
00:38:09,454 --> 00:38:12,947
Michael is a good
and decent man.

689
00:38:13,024 --> 00:38:14,549
Please leave him alone.

690
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:18,791
If he's innocent as well
as good and decent,

691
00:38:18,863 --> 00:38:20,058
then I will.

692
00:38:23,868 --> 00:38:25,813
Two thirds of them
identified and interviewed

693
00:38:25,837 --> 00:38:27,669
and nothing.

694
00:38:27,739 --> 00:38:30,937
I mean, they've all got motive,
they've all got opportunity.

695
00:38:31,009 --> 00:38:33,501
Keep going until every
man there is identified,

696
00:38:33,578 --> 00:38:36,878
and anybody who doesn't
belong there or nobody recognizes,

697
00:38:36,948 --> 00:38:38,041
you let me know, okay?

698
00:38:38,316 --> 00:38:40,683
- All right.
- Sir.

699
00:38:40,752 --> 00:38:42,914
An intruder got into the
Bateson-Donnelly building

700
00:38:42,987 --> 00:38:44,785
a week before last Friday night.

701
00:38:46,491 --> 00:38:48,323
And we found some
unidentified fingerprints

702
00:38:48,393 --> 00:38:49,861
on a filing cabinet.

703
00:38:49,928 --> 00:38:51,658
Those finger prints
have come back now,

704
00:38:51,729 --> 00:38:54,392
and they belong to a Mark Hogg.

705
00:38:55,934 --> 00:38:58,062
So, it's Friday. Payday.

706
00:38:58,336 --> 00:39:00,430
Hogg goes in there
to collect his wages

707
00:39:00,505 --> 00:39:02,064
and then hides until
they shut up shop.

708
00:39:03,641 --> 00:39:05,803
Stranger and stranger, eh, John?

709
00:39:08,646 --> 00:39:12,344
Right. Let's go and
talk to Mr. Donnelly.

710
00:39:12,417 --> 00:39:13,942
There you go. Oh, sir.

711
00:39:14,018 --> 00:39:16,886
There was no statement
from a girl called Kiran Johal

712
00:39:16,955 --> 00:39:18,355
in the Lesley Pierce file.

713
00:39:18,423 --> 00:39:21,120
I spoke Mrs. Pierce to find out
how close she was to Lesley.

714
00:39:21,392 --> 00:39:23,122
- And?
- Best friends since school.

715
00:39:23,394 --> 00:39:25,022
Ah.

716
00:39:33,638 --> 00:39:35,072
Hey.

717
00:39:35,139 --> 00:39:38,109
- What?
- What's going on?

718
00:39:38,376 --> 00:39:40,368
You and the gov.
What's he got you doing?

719
00:39:40,445 --> 00:39:42,141
And why won't he tell me?

720
00:39:42,413 --> 00:39:46,145
You need to ask him
that on both counts.

721
00:40:00,431 --> 00:40:02,730
Good morning! Avon lady!

722
00:40:04,636 --> 00:40:06,605
Kiran Johal?

723
00:40:08,873 --> 00:40:11,035
Lesley had all these big plans.

724
00:40:11,109 --> 00:40:14,739
She hated it in Washington,

725
00:40:14,812 --> 00:40:16,212
kept going on about
how small-minded

726
00:40:16,447 --> 00:40:17,881
and suburban it was.

727
00:40:17,949 --> 00:40:19,611
And you were her best friend?

728
00:40:21,452 --> 00:40:26,015
I'm afraid your statement's
gone missing, Kiran,

729
00:40:26,090 --> 00:40:28,025
for which I apologize,

730
00:40:28,092 --> 00:40:32,052
so, could you tell me
what you told the police?

731
00:40:34,766 --> 00:40:38,760
Look, I-I don't know.

732
00:40:38,836 --> 00:40:41,567
What I told that cop
was in confidence.

733
00:40:41,639 --> 00:40:42,902
I'm glad it didn't come out.

734
00:40:42,974 --> 00:40:44,334
It would have hurt
her mum and dad.

735
00:40:44,442 --> 00:40:45,569
It still would.

736
00:40:45,643 --> 00:40:49,011
Kiran, Lesley's
killer is still out there.

737
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,549
I need you to tell
me everything.

738
00:40:54,185 --> 00:40:55,585
Lesley was pregnant.

739
00:40:59,457 --> 00:41:02,052
And you were the
only one who knew?

740
00:41:02,126 --> 00:41:05,563
She'd just found out
the day before the party.

741
00:41:05,630 --> 00:41:07,929
Who was the father?

742
00:41:07,999 --> 00:41:11,492
She wouldn't say.

743
00:41:11,569 --> 00:41:12,832
It was someone older.

744
00:41:12,904 --> 00:41:14,167
Someone important.

745
00:41:16,474 --> 00:41:17,635
So she hadn't told him?

746
00:41:17,709 --> 00:41:22,738
No, 'cause she didn't
think he'd stand by her.

747
00:41:22,814 --> 00:41:24,680
He was spoken for, you see.

748
00:41:24,749 --> 00:41:26,240
Always had been, always will be.

749
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,017
Listen, I need to get on.

750
00:41:29,087 --> 00:41:30,487
I'm working on
commission, you know.

751
00:41:30,555 --> 00:41:33,218
Kiran, this officer who
took your statement.

752
00:41:33,491 --> 00:41:34,515
A man or a woman?

753
00:41:34,592 --> 00:41:35,616
Uh, a bloke.

754
00:41:35,693 --> 00:41:37,685
Can you remember his name?

755
00:41:37,762 --> 00:41:39,754
Harry? I think it was Harry.

756
00:41:39,831 --> 00:41:41,766
What was his second name?

757
00:41:41,833 --> 00:41:44,064
It was a funny name.

758
00:41:44,135 --> 00:41:46,502
I know it sounds
daft, but it sounded

759
00:41:46,571 --> 00:41:47,937
like something from the Bible.

760
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:52,108
Malachi. Harry Malachi.

761
00:41:52,176 --> 00:41:55,772
Yeah. That's it. Malachi.

762
00:42:04,922 --> 00:42:06,618
Where are we going exactly?

763
00:42:06,691 --> 00:42:11,720
North, D.I. Malachi.
We're going north.

764
00:42:31,883 --> 00:42:35,047
- They're here, Mr. Donnelly.
- Thank you.

765
00:42:35,119 --> 00:42:36,951
Mr. Donnelly.

766
00:42:39,123 --> 00:42:41,319
We'll outlast them, you know.

767
00:42:41,592 --> 00:42:44,255
Mob rule won't win here.

768
00:42:45,696 --> 00:42:47,722
And your boys are doing
a great job out there.

769
00:42:47,799 --> 00:42:50,291
I'd like to do
something for them.

770
00:42:50,568 --> 00:42:51,712
Christmas party
fund or something?

771
00:42:51,736 --> 00:42:53,967
No, no, no, no. No.
That wouldn't be right.

772
00:42:54,038 --> 00:42:55,734
We're impartial.

773
00:42:59,143 --> 00:43:01,305
Course you are.

774
00:43:01,579 --> 00:43:03,339
You had an intruder
break in here last month.

775
00:43:04,982 --> 00:43:09,682
I wouldn't say "break in."
More like mindless vandalism.

776
00:43:09,754 --> 00:43:10,915
Maybe not.

777
00:43:10,988 --> 00:43:13,651
We found his fingerprints
on one of your filing cabinets.

778
00:43:13,724 --> 00:43:16,193
Shouldn't you be out
there trying to find out

779
00:43:16,260 --> 00:43:17,956
who stabbed our
employee to death?

780
00:43:18,029 --> 00:43:20,965
Well, that's the thing, sir.
The two crimes are connected.

781
00:43:21,032 --> 00:43:23,228
We have a fingerprint match.

782
00:43:23,301 --> 00:43:24,769
The intruder was the man

783
00:43:24,836 --> 00:43:26,862
that was stabbed to
death two days ago.

784
00:43:26,938 --> 00:43:31,103
His real name is Mark Hogg.
He was an undercover reporter.

785
00:43:33,311 --> 00:43:35,871
Well, whatever he was looking
for in here, he didn't find it.

786
00:43:35,947 --> 00:43:38,143
What, proof of
government collusion

787
00:43:38,216 --> 00:43:39,980
in your dispute with the unions?

788
00:43:40,051 --> 00:43:43,852
He didn't find anything because
there was nothing to find.

789
00:43:43,921 --> 00:43:46,049
- Have you thought about that?
- Yes, we have.

790
00:43:46,124 --> 00:43:49,253
And that would make perfect
sense if he wasn't dead.

791
00:43:57,268 --> 00:43:59,828
This company is a
successful going concern.

792
00:43:59,904 --> 00:44:04,171
We make a profit...
That's not a dirty word...

793
00:44:04,242 --> 00:44:08,373
And we provide work
for people up here.

794
00:44:08,646 --> 00:44:12,208
Your job is to find out which
one of those morons out there

795
00:44:12,283 --> 00:44:15,048
stabbed that man to death.

796
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:16,985
Clear?

797
00:44:19,724 --> 00:44:21,955
Yeah, I understand,
Mr. Donnelly.

798
00:44:22,026 --> 00:44:24,860
Thank you. Come on.

799
00:44:24,929 --> 00:44:27,398
- But I've got another
question - That's enough.

800
00:44:32,837 --> 00:44:35,238
Sir, there was a
few more questions

801
00:44:35,306 --> 00:44:36,316
I would have liked to ask him.

802
00:44:36,340 --> 00:44:39,037
If, right, and
it's a big "if"...

803
00:44:39,110 --> 00:44:40,942
If Mark Hogg got in there

804
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:42,776
and got the proof
that he was after,

805
00:44:42,847 --> 00:44:45,749
then yes, Donnelly is lying.

806
00:44:45,816 --> 00:44:48,047
But he was also
very angry, wasn't he,

807
00:44:48,119 --> 00:44:50,418
which means that
whatever Hogg took,

808
00:44:50,688 --> 00:44:52,020
it still hasn't been recovered.

809
00:44:52,089 --> 00:44:53,284
So, it's still out there.

810
00:44:53,357 --> 00:44:56,054
So it's still out there,
which is what got him killed.

811
00:44:56,127 --> 00:44:59,154
And the last thing
that we need, right,

812
00:44:59,230 --> 00:45:03,224
is for anyone to think that
we're looking for it, okay?

813
00:45:03,301 --> 00:45:04,929
Okay.

814
00:45:21,986 --> 00:45:24,080
Hello again, Harry.

815
00:45:24,155 --> 00:45:26,317
What the hell is
this? Let it go, Gently.

816
00:45:26,390 --> 00:45:27,881
Independent panel cleared me

817
00:45:27,959 --> 00:45:29,599
of all your trumped
up corruption charges.

818
00:45:29,727 --> 00:45:32,754
You've got nothing on me,
and you'll get nothing on me.

819
00:45:34,265 --> 00:45:36,097
Lesley Pierce.

820
00:45:39,003 --> 00:45:40,198
You've found her killer?

821
00:45:40,271 --> 00:45:41,739
Not yet.

822
00:45:41,806 --> 00:45:46,767
But here's what I have found.

823
00:45:46,844 --> 00:45:49,211
Lesley was pregnant
when she was murdered.

824
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:53,047
Only her best
friend, Kiran Johal,

825
00:45:53,117 --> 00:45:55,916
knew about it
until she told you.

826
00:45:55,987 --> 00:45:59,947
But Kiran's statement
seems to have disappeared.

827
00:46:00,024 --> 00:46:04,018
Plus, there are pages missing
from the postmortem report.

828
00:46:04,095 --> 00:46:08,157
Now, I think that those pages

829
00:46:08,232 --> 00:46:11,168
will confirm that
Lesley was pregnant.

830
00:46:13,070 --> 00:46:16,336
I don't know what happened.

831
00:46:16,407 --> 00:46:19,138
It was a botched inquiry
from start to finish.

832
00:46:19,210 --> 00:46:21,372
The S.I.O. was a
useless, old drunk...

833
00:46:21,445 --> 00:46:24,813
Bit like yourself, George...
So the whole thing was a mess.

834
00:46:24,882 --> 00:46:29,149
You're as bent as they
come. We all know that.

835
00:46:29,220 --> 00:46:34,022
And we also know that you
knew Lesley was pregnant,

836
00:46:34,091 --> 00:46:38,961
and you're going to tell us what
you did with that information.

837
00:46:40,231 --> 00:46:41,893
Who did you protect?

838
00:46:41,966 --> 00:46:44,231
I need to speak to
my superior officer.

839
00:46:44,302 --> 00:46:47,795
You will find this hard
to understand, Harry,

840
00:46:47,872 --> 00:46:52,139
but Ian here believes
in what he does.

841
00:46:52,209 --> 00:46:54,474
Like me, he despises bent cops.

842
00:46:54,545 --> 00:46:57,413
But I'm just a voice
crying in the wilderness,

843
00:46:57,481 --> 00:47:02,181
whereas this man has got your
new commissioner behind him.

844
00:47:02,253 --> 00:47:05,052
And he is going to go through

845
00:47:05,122 --> 00:47:07,091
every case that
you've ever worked on

846
00:47:07,158 --> 00:47:12,825
since you walked out of
Hendon with a fine-tooth comb.

847
00:47:12,897 --> 00:47:15,958
Now, do you want
that, Harry, eh?

848
00:47:16,033 --> 00:47:18,559
Do you really want that?

849
00:47:23,007 --> 00:47:24,498
Come on, Harry.

850
00:47:24,575 --> 00:47:27,010
Who was the father
of Lesley's child?

851
00:47:27,078 --> 00:47:29,877
I found what I found...

852
00:47:29,947 --> 00:47:34,112
He had a thing with her,
and she was pregnant.

853
00:47:34,185 --> 00:47:36,620
He offered me
money, a lot of it,

854
00:47:36,887 --> 00:47:39,948
to make it go away.

855
00:47:40,024 --> 00:47:42,152
I couldn't say no.

856
00:47:44,295 --> 00:47:45,923
Who paid you off?

857
00:47:49,900 --> 00:47:51,425
Michael Clements.

858
00:48:02,980 --> 00:48:04,448
He's a born liar.

859
00:48:04,515 --> 00:48:06,426
He didn't just take a pay-off
from Michael Clements.

860
00:48:06,450 --> 00:48:11,150
He was ordered from above
to make the evidence go away.

861
00:48:13,124 --> 00:48:14,364
I'm not sure I'm following you.

862
00:48:14,425 --> 00:48:18,021
Are we...

863
00:48:19,397 --> 00:48:21,593
Are we being played here, Ian?

864
00:48:21,665 --> 00:48:24,191
By who?

865
00:48:24,268 --> 00:48:27,204
Gov? I need a word.

866
00:48:27,271 --> 00:48:30,435
Ah.

867
00:48:34,912 --> 00:48:36,244
- We need to talk.
- What about?

868
00:48:36,313 --> 00:48:38,214
About you freezing me out.

869
00:48:38,282 --> 00:48:39,614
This is not the
time or the place.

870
00:48:39,683 --> 00:48:41,549
No, this is exactly
the time and the place.

871
00:48:41,619 --> 00:48:43,588
I want to know what you know

872
00:48:43,654 --> 00:48:46,647
because I think that
Michael Clements is involved

873
00:48:46,924 --> 00:48:49,223
in the murder of Mark Hogg.

874
00:48:49,293 --> 00:48:52,422
- Who is that?
- It's our new friend.

875
00:48:57,935 --> 00:49:00,461
Mark Hogg breaks
into Bateson-Donnelly,

876
00:49:00,538 --> 00:49:02,578
finds proof of government
collusion in that dispute.

877
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,405
A few weeks later, he's
murdered professionally.

878
00:49:05,476 --> 00:49:10,039
The day before he's murdered,
he makes a six-minute phone call

879
00:49:10,114 --> 00:49:14,950
from a pay phone at his
digs... to Michael Clements.

880
00:49:15,019 --> 00:49:16,647
He told me he didn't
know Mark Hogg.

881
00:49:16,720 --> 00:49:18,586
Because he doesn't
trust the police?

882
00:49:18,656 --> 00:49:22,388
Yeah, but the thing is, right,
whoever killed Mark Hogg,

883
00:49:22,460 --> 00:49:23,655
how did they know it was him

884
00:49:23,727 --> 00:49:25,559
that broke into
Bateson-Donnelly?

885
00:49:25,629 --> 00:49:27,655
He told Clements what he had,

886
00:49:27,731 --> 00:49:30,326
thinking Clements
would go public with it.

887
00:49:30,401 --> 00:49:33,098
Instead, Clements sold him out.

888
00:49:33,170 --> 00:49:35,139
Why would Clements
give Hogg away?

889
00:49:35,206 --> 00:49:39,610
Because he was protected
over the Lesley Pierce murder,

890
00:49:39,677 --> 00:49:42,169
and now he's paying the
price for that protection.

891
00:49:42,246 --> 00:49:45,239
He does what he's told
when he's told to do it.

892
00:49:45,316 --> 00:49:48,013
It does go higher
than Harry Malachi.

893
00:49:49,353 --> 00:49:51,219
Right. We need to
find whatever it was

894
00:49:51,288 --> 00:49:53,519
that Mark Hogg took
from Bateson-Donnelly.

895
00:49:53,591 --> 00:49:55,735
I've got a warrant to search
his home address in Manchester.

896
00:49:55,759 --> 00:49:59,457
You're off the book on this.
No case notes, no diary entries.

897
00:49:59,530 --> 00:50:02,295
And as soon as you get
your hands on whatever it was

898
00:50:02,366 --> 00:50:04,460
that he took from
Bateson-Donnelly,

899
00:50:04,535 --> 00:50:06,527
you bring it straight
to me, is that clear?

900
00:50:06,604 --> 00:50:08,129
- On it.
- Yes, sir.

901
00:50:08,205 --> 00:50:09,516
And you alter your
routes home at night.

902
00:50:09,540 --> 00:50:11,532
And what about you, sir?

903
00:50:15,446 --> 00:50:18,610
Mr. Clements, we've
summoned you today

904
00:50:18,682 --> 00:50:21,242
because there's concern
here at the treasury

905
00:50:21,318 --> 00:50:24,618
regarding your
Marwick Point project.

906
00:50:24,688 --> 00:50:29,217
You seem to have raised public
expectations to a fever pitch

907
00:50:29,293 --> 00:50:31,228
while forgetting
that after the election

908
00:50:31,295 --> 00:50:34,424
and the return of
a new government,

909
00:50:34,498 --> 00:50:38,162
public funding of your
project is now subject

910
00:50:38,235 --> 00:50:40,363
to the
comprehensive-spending review.

911
00:50:40,437 --> 00:50:41,496
We don't need your money.

912
00:50:43,374 --> 00:50:45,434
Marwick Point
Development Corporation

913
00:50:45,509 --> 00:50:47,375
has secured the
backing of a consortium

914
00:50:47,444 --> 00:50:51,472
of European businessmen
and financial institutions.

915
00:50:51,549 --> 00:50:56,749
Marwick Point happens
whether you lot like it or not.

916
00:50:59,590 --> 00:51:01,559
Howay the lads.

917
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:10,792
The tribune of the
people has spoken.

918
00:51:12,369 --> 00:51:14,770
Who are we to argue?

919
00:51:21,378 --> 00:51:23,074
I'm so grateful for...

920
00:51:23,147 --> 00:51:25,446
<i>If Michael Clements can
make Marwick Point a reality,</i>

921
00:51:25,516 --> 00:51:27,246
<i>do you think people
will rally 'round him</i>

922
00:51:27,318 --> 00:51:29,558
<i>as someone who could lead
the Labour Party back to power?</i>

923
00:51:29,587 --> 00:51:31,556
<i>That's exactly what I'm
picking up in the office</i>

924
00:51:31,622 --> 00:51:33,784
<i>and in the Labour
Party as a whole.</i>

925
00:51:33,857 --> 00:51:35,382
<i>With Heath's
government already fragile</i>

926
00:51:35,459 --> 00:51:38,554
<i>and industrial unrest
spreading across the country,</i>

927
00:51:38,629 --> 00:51:41,098
<i>Michael Clements is
building the kind of momentum</i>

928
00:51:41,165 --> 00:51:44,624
<i>that could, one day, propel him
all the way to Downing Street.</i>

You told me you didn't
know Lesley Pierce.

939
00:52:37,588 --> 00:52:40,422
I lied to the police, George.
Don't take it personally.

940
00:52:40,491 --> 00:52:42,187
Oh.

941
00:52:42,259 --> 00:52:44,728
I had sex with her. Maybe
I was the father of her child.

942
00:52:44,795 --> 00:52:49,893
But Harry Malachi
offered to make it go away.

943
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:53,160
He blackmailed
me, and I-I paid up.

944
00:52:53,237 --> 00:52:54,364
I was in the Cabinet, man!

945
00:52:54,438 --> 00:52:57,840
Even a whiff of scandal
would've finished me.

946
00:52:57,908 --> 00:53:00,810
She was pregnant, maybe
by me, and then she was dead.

947
00:53:00,878 --> 00:53:03,746
But... I didn't kill her.

948
00:53:03,814 --> 00:53:05,373
Who put you up to this?

949
00:53:05,449 --> 00:53:07,441
Oh, we're all out
to get you, are we?

950
00:53:07,518 --> 00:53:09,749
- Seems like it.
- Even Mark Hogg?

951
00:53:11,355 --> 00:53:13,586
He phoned you
last week, didn't he?

952
00:53:13,657 --> 00:53:17,526
He told you he found something
inside Bateson-Donnelly.

953
00:53:17,594 --> 00:53:19,927
He told you what he'd found.

954
00:53:20,197 --> 00:53:22,564
The next day he was executed.

955
00:53:22,633 --> 00:53:26,400
Whoever phoned me
wouldn't identify himself.

956
00:53:26,470 --> 00:53:27,802
He said he had some information

957
00:53:27,871 --> 00:53:29,582
that he wanted me to
put in the public domain,

958
00:53:29,606 --> 00:53:32,371
something that would turn
the whole thing on its head.

959
00:53:32,443 --> 00:53:33,877
So I agreed to meet

960
00:53:33,944 --> 00:53:35,936
at Marwick Point a
couple of days ago.

961
00:53:36,213 --> 00:53:38,580
- But he didn't show.
- 'Cause he was dead.

962
00:53:39,683 --> 00:53:41,743
You bribed a
serving police officer.

963
00:53:41,819 --> 00:53:43,515
It was blackmail.

964
00:53:43,587 --> 00:53:45,818
So what? You paid up!

965
00:53:47,658 --> 00:53:50,753
Hardly the conduct of a
future prime minister, is it?

966
00:53:56,567 --> 00:53:58,468
- A week.
- What?

967
00:53:58,535 --> 00:54:00,055
To get Marwick Point
signed and sealed.

968
00:54:00,270 --> 00:54:01,363
Just give me a week.

969
00:54:01,438 --> 00:54:02,949
Then you can come
after me with all you've got.

970
00:54:02,973 --> 00:54:05,841
- I can't do that.
- Why not?

971
00:54:05,909 --> 00:54:07,434
"Because I'm a
policeman, Your Honor,

972
00:54:07,511 --> 00:54:09,275
and my wife said
that my duty is my life."

973
00:54:12,015 --> 00:54:13,984
I've been playing the
filthy business of politics

974
00:54:14,251 --> 00:54:16,720
and power for years now, George.

975
00:54:16,787 --> 00:54:21,589
In government, in
opposition, in the services.

976
00:54:21,658 --> 00:54:24,856
You're forcing me back
down that gutter again,

977
00:54:24,928 --> 00:54:27,762
and I don't like myself for
it and I don't like you for it.

978
00:54:28,665 --> 00:54:31,499
But a cop gets sent
to take you down,

979
00:54:31,568 --> 00:54:32,968
you do your homework on him.

980
00:54:33,036 --> 00:54:35,596
You pull in favors from everyone
in the Yard who owes you.

981
00:54:35,672 --> 00:54:39,336
You get inside his
life, inside his head.

982
00:54:39,409 --> 00:54:41,901
And if you're me and you know
how it works under the surface,

983
00:54:41,979 --> 00:54:43,777
down in the sewers...

984
00:54:46,650 --> 00:54:47,583
Just one week.

985
00:54:47,651 --> 00:54:48,846
No.

986
00:54:54,892 --> 00:54:57,885
Not even if I give you the name
of the man who killed your wife?

987
00:55:03,333 --> 00:55:05,325
Joe Webster killed my wife.

988
00:55:07,304 --> 00:55:09,603
Joe Webster was just
another disposable villain

989
00:55:09,673 --> 00:55:11,471
with a psychotic temper.

990
00:55:13,710 --> 00:55:19,047
Ford Zephyr, Eldon
Street, March 17, 1964.

991
00:55:19,316 --> 00:55:22,718
I know the beginning, middle,
and the end of it, George,

992
00:55:22,786 --> 00:55:25,346
and if I were you,
I'd ask myself this.

993
00:55:25,422 --> 00:55:28,051
Who really benefited
from Isabella's death, eh?

994
00:55:28,325 --> 00:55:29,554
Not Joe Webster.

995
00:55:29,626 --> 00:55:32,357
They murdered her,
and you moved up north.

996
00:55:32,429 --> 00:55:33,863
Who benefited, eh?

997
00:55:34,865 --> 00:55:37,596
And who benefits from
you taking me down?

998
00:55:37,668 --> 00:55:39,534
Maybe the same people,
the powers that be,

999
00:55:39,603 --> 00:55:41,443
the apparatus of
government, the establishment.

1000
00:55:41,471 --> 00:55:42,632
Call 'em what you will.

1001
00:55:42,706 --> 00:55:47,701
Maybe you and I are in
the same boat here, George.

1002
00:55:48,545 --> 00:55:50,411
One week!

1003
00:55:52,549 --> 00:55:56,680
Just think about
it... and call me.

1004
00:57:24,775 --> 00:57:26,073
Hello?

1005
00:57:26,143 --> 00:57:27,577
Rachel.

1006
00:57:27,644 --> 00:57:28,873
Yeah?

1007
00:57:28,946 --> 00:57:32,508
You okay?

1008
00:57:32,582 --> 00:57:34,517
Uh, yes.

1009
00:57:35,552 --> 00:57:36,747
Why?

1010
00:57:36,820 --> 00:57:38,460
You are watching your
backs, you and John?

1011
00:57:38,488 --> 00:57:39,854
You're both okay?

1012
00:57:39,923 --> 00:57:42,688
Yes, sir. Um, yeah, we're fine.

1013
00:57:42,759 --> 00:57:44,125
We're both fine.

1014
00:57:48,699 --> 00:57:51,134
Is there something wrong, sir?

1015
00:57:57,107 --> 00:57:58,200
Isabella.

1016
00:58:04,114 --> 00:58:08,484
They took her away from me,
and nothing's been the same.

1017
00:58:11,788 --> 00:58:13,552
Nothing's ever been the same.

1018
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,025
If you was me...

1019
00:58:23,233 --> 00:58:26,726
and you could look the
man in the eye who killed her,

1020
00:58:26,803 --> 00:58:28,567
what would you do?

1021
00:58:30,907 --> 00:58:32,773
I'm not going to answer that.

1022
00:58:34,244 --> 00:58:35,837
And maybe you shouldn't, either.

1023
00:58:35,912 --> 00:58:37,676
No.

1024
00:58:39,049 --> 00:58:40,142
Where are you?

1025
00:58:40,217 --> 00:58:41,742
London.

1026
00:58:43,954 --> 00:58:46,082
Maybe you should come home.

1027
00:58:51,161 --> 00:58:53,596
Yeah, I will.

1028
00:58:57,934 --> 00:58:59,061
Good night, Rachel.

1029
00:59:00,170 --> 00:59:01,695
Good night.

1030
00:59:03,173 --> 00:59:04,266
I'll see you tomorrow.

1031
00:59:04,541 --> 00:59:06,271
Yeah, yeah, 'course
you will. Yeah.

1032
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:25,991
Ah.

1033
01:00:53,183 --> 01:00:56,381
One week. Not a minute more.

1034
01:01:05,095 --> 01:01:06,290
D.I. Lister?

1035
01:01:10,967 --> 01:01:12,162
I'm your source.

1036
01:01:13,303 --> 01:01:15,169
The tip-off.

1037
01:01:16,139 --> 01:01:18,404
We need to talk...

1038
01:01:18,675 --> 01:01:21,167
about the national interest.

1039
01:02:24,241 --> 01:02:25,504
Mr. Croxley?

1040
01:02:27,077 --> 01:02:28,477
Alan Croxley?

1041
01:02:31,248 --> 01:02:33,274
Changed your car, then.

1042
01:02:34,384 --> 01:02:36,478
Sorry, mate, you've lost me.

1043
01:02:38,488 --> 01:02:40,081
Don't you know who I am?

1044
01:02:40,156 --> 01:02:41,988
No idea.

1045
01:02:42,058 --> 01:02:43,856
And I don't care.

1046
01:02:45,495 --> 01:02:47,862
I'm George Gently.

1047
01:02:49,032 --> 01:02:50,432
You killed my wife.

1048
01:03:05,548 --> 01:03:07,107
Don't you feel anything?

1049
01:03:08,184 --> 01:03:09,516
It's just a job.

1050
01:03:09,786 --> 01:03:11,277
Ah.

1051
01:03:18,828 --> 01:03:20,439
Did you come here
thinking you were dealing

1052
01:03:20,463 --> 01:03:23,228
with some old East End lag?

1053
01:03:23,300 --> 01:03:25,132
It's bigger than that.

1054
01:03:27,304 --> 01:03:29,796
And whatever you think you know,

1055
01:03:29,873 --> 01:03:32,399
you'll never be
able to prove it.

1056
01:03:32,475 --> 01:03:36,003
You are out of your league.

1057
01:03:36,079 --> 01:03:38,275
Always have been,
always will be.

1058
01:03:39,349 --> 01:03:46,347
So stop making a show
of yourself and go home.

1059
01:03:52,228 --> 01:03:54,288
This is not done! It's not done!

1060
01:04:04,874 --> 01:04:07,070
Aaaah!

1061
01:04:28,631 --> 01:04:31,032
Always will be?

1062
01:04:37,607 --> 01:04:41,271
My mum's in bits.
We all are, but...

1063
01:04:49,519 --> 01:04:51,215
When were you last here, Tina?

1064
01:04:51,287 --> 01:04:54,519
Uh, yesterday.

1065
01:04:54,591 --> 01:04:57,322
I picked up his post.

1066
01:05:04,100 --> 01:05:05,033
Right.

1067
01:05:05,101 --> 01:05:07,502
What are you going to do?

1068
01:05:07,570 --> 01:05:09,129
We're going to
search Mark's stuff.

1069
01:05:09,205 --> 01:05:11,936
- Well, what for?
- I can't discuss that.

1070
01:05:12,008 --> 01:05:13,374
I'm so sorry.

1071
01:05:15,245 --> 01:05:18,579
I didn't... I didn't
leave that like that.

1072
01:05:20,583 --> 01:05:22,643
- You sure?
- Yeah.

1073
01:05:27,424 --> 01:05:29,235
Would you mind waiting
outside, please, love?

1074
01:05:29,259 --> 01:05:30,659
We'll take it from here.

1075
01:05:33,096 --> 01:05:34,462
Someone's been here before us.

1076
01:05:41,938 --> 01:05:43,167
- John?
- Huh?

1077
01:05:43,239 --> 01:05:44,383
They're watching the house.

1078
01:05:44,407 --> 01:05:47,104
- What, where?
- Out there, black car.

1079
01:05:54,717 --> 01:05:58,347
See, that must mean
that they haven't found...

1080
01:05:58,421 --> 01:05:59,684
Tina?

1081
01:06:00,657 --> 01:06:03,559
Tina, come on inside.
There you go. That's it.

1082
01:06:05,395 --> 01:06:07,227
Did you pick up
Mark's post yesterday?

1083
01:06:07,297 --> 01:06:09,960
- Uh... yeah.
- Where is it?

1084
01:06:10,033 --> 01:06:12,696
I've, uh... It's
still in my bag.

1085
01:06:12,969 --> 01:06:14,460
Do you mind?

1086
01:06:16,372 --> 01:06:18,967
Anything with a
Newcastle postmark.

1087
01:06:21,211 --> 01:06:22,235
Yeah.

1088
01:06:24,981 --> 01:06:26,973
Left luggage. Tynemouth Station.

1089
01:06:31,654 --> 01:06:33,122
Let's go.

1090
01:06:42,098 --> 01:06:43,589
Did you get it?

1091
01:06:43,666 --> 01:06:46,033
Got it. Up there.

1092
01:06:47,237 --> 01:06:48,330
- You all right.
- Yeah.

1093
01:06:48,404 --> 01:06:50,168
<i>The next train to Newcastle,</i>

1094
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,438
<i>arriving on platform
two in five minutes.</i>

1095
01:07:01,384 --> 01:07:03,319
Right.

1096
01:07:03,386 --> 01:07:05,355
17.

1097
01:07:28,545 --> 01:07:29,774
John.

1098
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:31,480
John!

1099
01:07:37,554 --> 01:07:38,613
It's all right.

1100
01:07:40,156 --> 01:07:43,058
All right. Let's go.
Go, go, go, go, go, go.

1101
01:07:44,561 --> 01:07:45,561
Hold it!

1102
01:07:53,603 --> 01:07:55,367
Right there, hold
it back. Hold it.

1103
01:08:05,448 --> 01:08:07,246
Keep going. Get in.

1104
01:08:19,195 --> 01:08:20,720
Back to the cars!

1105
01:08:38,715 --> 01:08:40,206
What are all these?

1106
01:08:41,351 --> 01:08:43,820
I don't know. It's definitely
Bateson-Donnelly, though.

1107
01:08:46,789 --> 01:08:48,121
It's not what we thought.

1108
01:08:54,530 --> 01:08:56,522
All right, all right, all right.

1109
01:08:56,599 --> 01:08:58,227
You go back and mind the shop.

1110
01:08:58,301 --> 01:09:00,896
Don't say anything to
anybody about any of this.

1111
01:09:01,170 --> 01:09:02,170
Okay?

1112
01:09:02,238 --> 01:09:04,469
What are you going to do?

1113
01:09:04,540 --> 01:09:06,509
I'll get in touch with the gov.

1114
01:09:08,277 --> 01:09:11,179
- You all right, John?
- Yeah, yeah.

1115
01:09:11,247 --> 01:09:13,716
- You?
- Yeah.

1116
01:09:29,432 --> 01:09:32,163
That's lovely. Go
on. Pass it over

1117
01:09:46,849 --> 01:09:49,250
Can I, uh, help you?

1118
01:10:01,230 --> 01:10:03,461
I need to talk to
you, Mr. Paton.

1119
01:10:08,805 --> 01:10:10,433
How many kids you got, Eddie?

1120
01:10:10,506 --> 01:10:11,633
Three.

1121
01:10:13,543 --> 01:10:14,909
And you're a Stax man.

1122
01:10:14,977 --> 01:10:17,469
Always have been,
always will be.

1123
01:10:17,547 --> 01:10:18,776
And you're a Liberal.

1124
01:10:19,849 --> 01:10:23,547
Always have been,
always will be.

1125
01:10:23,619 --> 01:10:25,520
Are you making fun of me?

1126
01:10:25,588 --> 01:10:28,319
Did you tell Lesley that
you were already spoken for?

1127
01:10:28,391 --> 01:10:30,826
Always have been,
always will be.

1128
01:10:33,262 --> 01:10:34,696
Why did you lie to me?

1129
01:10:35,732 --> 01:10:38,566
You told me that you didn't
know Lesley personally.

1130
01:10:38,634 --> 01:10:39,761
What's this about?

1131
01:10:44,006 --> 01:10:46,771
So how did it go, Eddie?

1132
01:10:46,843 --> 01:10:48,641
Did Lesley corner
you at the party

1133
01:10:48,711 --> 01:10:50,509
and tell you she was pregnant?

1134
01:10:52,281 --> 01:10:54,512
And you were scared that
your wife might find out,

1135
01:10:54,584 --> 01:10:58,351
so you agreed to
meet Lesley later.

1136
01:10:58,421 --> 01:11:02,290
Now, maybe you got her
pregnant, maybe you didn't.

1137
01:11:02,358 --> 01:11:04,884
But you did have
sexual relations with her.

1138
01:11:07,930 --> 01:11:10,024
It was just once, Liz.

1139
01:11:10,933 --> 01:11:14,301
And I was a bit
drunk. It was nothing.

1140
01:11:14,370 --> 01:11:16,965
So you met Lesley
away from the party,

1141
01:11:17,039 --> 01:11:18,871
and you tried to talk her down.

1142
01:11:18,941 --> 01:11:21,604
But she wouldn't let it go.

1143
01:11:21,677 --> 01:11:25,341
So you got into an argument.

1144
01:11:25,414 --> 01:11:27,815
And you struck her in anger,
and she fell to the ground.

1145
01:11:27,884 --> 01:11:29,785
She cracked her head.

1146
01:11:29,852 --> 01:11:30,945
She was dead.

1147
01:11:31,020 --> 01:11:33,683
Lesley threatened all of this.

1148
01:11:33,756 --> 01:11:36,282
Perfect job, the perfect life.

1149
01:11:36,359 --> 01:11:39,329
And your shiny new town.

1150
01:11:39,395 --> 01:11:40,624
It's not funny.

1151
01:11:42,932 --> 01:11:45,527
Do you know where we came from?

1152
01:11:45,601 --> 01:11:47,627
Slums!

1153
01:11:47,703 --> 01:11:49,663
Dirt and filth and people
fighting in the streets,

1154
01:11:49,705 --> 01:11:51,435
and we came here and the kids...

1155
01:11:51,507 --> 01:11:53,635
Oh, my God, the kids.

1156
01:11:54,844 --> 01:11:58,645
10, 11, 12, 13, 14...

1157
01:11:58,714 --> 01:12:00,979
This place is everything
I ever dreamed.

1158
01:12:03,519 --> 01:12:05,920
It's not like back there.

1159
01:12:05,988 --> 01:12:08,480
London. Filthy
and falling apart.

1160
01:12:08,558 --> 01:12:13,724
This place, it's... it's like
America or something.

1161
01:12:13,796 --> 01:12:16,857
And you'd do
anything to keep it all?

1162
01:12:18,601 --> 01:12:19,660
What?

1163
01:12:24,874 --> 01:12:26,866
Eddie didn't do anything wrong.

1164
01:12:28,811 --> 01:12:30,541
He's not like that.

1165
01:12:30,613 --> 01:12:32,013
He didn't...

1166
01:12:39,355 --> 01:12:41,017
He was with me all night.

1167
01:12:41,858 --> 01:12:43,656
I didn't let him
out of my sight.

1168
01:12:45,027 --> 01:12:47,895
You were there,
too, at the party.

1169
01:12:55,905 --> 01:12:58,136
You'd better find
somebody to mind the kids.

1170
01:13:00,376 --> 01:13:03,073
'Cause I'm going to arrest
the both of you for murder.

1171
01:13:05,014 --> 01:13:08,678
And then we're going to take
you to two separate police stations

1172
01:13:08,751 --> 01:13:10,720
and we're going to
sweat the truth out of you,

1173
01:13:10,786 --> 01:13:13,085
no matter how long it takes.

1174
01:13:15,858 --> 01:13:20,592
Or... you can tell me
the truth here and now.

1175
01:13:20,663 --> 01:13:22,598
And the kids will
still keep their dad.

1176
01:13:42,985 --> 01:13:45,750
Eddie didn't know I
knew about Lesley.

1177
01:13:47,490 --> 01:13:49,049
Until now.

1178
01:13:50,826 --> 01:13:52,488
Okay.

1179
01:13:59,468 --> 01:14:02,563
I offered to pay for
an abortion, and...

1180
01:14:03,572 --> 01:14:07,009
And she started
laughing at me and...

1181
01:14:16,719 --> 01:14:18,085
I didn't mean it.

1182
01:14:32,702 --> 01:14:35,103
Last man standing.

1183
01:14:36,572 --> 01:14:38,097
So who are you?

1184
01:15:17,113 --> 01:15:20,106
Clements didn't
kill Lesley Pierce.

1185
01:15:20,182 --> 01:15:23,050
I've arrested her
killer. She confessed.

1186
01:15:24,053 --> 01:15:26,522
We have been played, Ian.

1187
01:15:27,690 --> 01:15:29,784
An anonymous tip-off, eh?

1188
01:15:31,260 --> 01:15:34,856
My advice to you is to
arrest Michael Clements

1189
01:15:34,930 --> 01:15:38,094
on suspicion of the
murder of Lesley Pierce.

1190
01:15:43,672 --> 01:15:45,607
They got to you.

1191
01:15:45,674 --> 01:15:46,937
We all look up to you, George.

1192
01:15:51,213 --> 01:15:52,943
You never compromised.

1193
01:15:57,219 --> 01:15:59,279
I don't want everything
you've stood...

1194
01:16:05,828 --> 01:16:11,927
If I'm going to stay in the
game and clean up the police...

1195
01:16:15,171 --> 01:16:16,833
there are compromises.

1196
01:16:23,079 --> 01:16:25,708
They don't want Michael
Clements running the show.

1197
01:16:25,781 --> 01:16:28,182
Even if the people vote for him?

1198
01:16:28,250 --> 01:16:30,913
People? What do the people know?

1199
01:16:30,986 --> 01:16:33,319
Give them a vote on it, and
they'll bring back hanging.

1200
01:16:43,833 --> 01:16:48,897
Please, George,
just toe the line.

1201
01:16:54,176 --> 01:16:56,008
In the national interest.

1202
01:16:59,181 --> 01:17:01,047
I believed in you, Ian.

1203
01:17:18,767 --> 01:17:23,364
Why is Michael Clements so
dangerous to the British state?

1204
01:17:23,639 --> 01:17:28,236
It's not his brand of socialism
or his "man of the people" act.

1205
01:17:28,310 --> 01:17:31,906
It's the reason they fired
him from the Cabinet.

1206
01:17:55,771 --> 01:17:59,970
Sorry. George Gently
doesn't walk away.

1207
01:18:03,445 --> 01:18:05,778
I'll take a lift back
to London, Ian.

1208
01:18:42,318 --> 01:18:43,752
Were you followed?

1209
01:18:43,819 --> 01:18:45,720
- No.
- No.

1210
01:18:48,891 --> 01:18:52,157
This is what Mark Hogg
took from Bateson-Donnelly.

1211
01:18:52,228 --> 01:18:53,787
It's his death sentence.

1212
01:18:53,862 --> 01:18:54,989
Have a look.

1213
01:18:56,398 --> 01:18:58,410
He went looking for government
inclusion in their dispute.

1214
01:18:58,434 --> 01:19:00,300
But he found something
much, much bigger.

1215
01:19:00,369 --> 01:19:05,205
This letter, right, confirming
the construction contract?

1216
01:19:05,274 --> 01:19:07,072
That traced back to
commissioning agents

1217
01:19:07,142 --> 01:19:10,772
through offshore
holding companies

1218
01:19:10,846 --> 01:19:12,872
all the way to Washington.

1219
01:19:12,948 --> 01:19:14,940
D.C., not County Durham.

1220
01:19:15,017 --> 01:19:16,246
Yeah.

1221
01:19:16,318 --> 01:19:18,287
They're building an air
base at Marwick Point.

1222
01:19:18,354 --> 01:19:20,380
- What?
- For the Americans.

1223
01:19:26,762 --> 01:19:30,358
So, the state uses me
to torpedo Clements,

1224
01:19:30,432 --> 01:19:33,095
who, by the way,
didn't kill Lesley Pierce,

1225
01:19:33,168 --> 01:19:35,865
and it was all
going like clockwork

1226
01:19:35,938 --> 01:19:38,032
until Mark Hogg got
his hands on that.

1227
01:19:38,107 --> 01:19:39,905
That's what got
Mark Hogg killed, sir.

1228
01:19:39,975 --> 01:19:41,307
Now we've got our hands on it.

1229
01:19:42,911 --> 01:19:44,243
So what are you saying, John?

1230
01:19:44,313 --> 01:19:45,633
We should bury
this and walk away?

1231
01:19:45,781 --> 01:19:47,306
- No, sir, I don't know.
- No, no.

1232
01:19:47,383 --> 01:19:49,375
We've got the
killer of Mark Hogg.

1233
01:19:49,451 --> 01:19:52,182
He's the only man at the crime
scene that we can't account for.

1234
01:19:52,254 --> 01:19:54,849
Look, this is just
some bloke, Rachel.

1235
01:19:54,923 --> 01:19:56,858
We can't prove that
he killed Mark Hogg.

1236
01:19:56,925 --> 01:19:59,087
- We don't even know his name.
- Alan Croxley.

1237
01:19:59,928 --> 01:20:02,955
Ex-Special Forces
and, my guess, MI5.

1238
01:20:03,032 --> 01:20:04,432
You know him?

1239
01:20:06,068 --> 01:20:07,900
It's a long story, Rachel.

1240
01:20:11,006 --> 01:20:13,202
So what do we do, sir?

1241
01:20:14,376 --> 01:20:16,208
Well, you two just
go on doing your jobs.

1242
01:20:16,278 --> 01:20:18,975
And you forget about this.

1243
01:20:19,048 --> 01:20:21,210
You know nothing,
you saw nothing.

1244
01:20:21,283 --> 01:20:23,149
And what about that, sir?

1245
01:20:24,153 --> 01:20:25,985
Well...

1246
01:20:26,055 --> 01:20:27,819
A week from now,
I'll be gone anyway.

1247
01:20:27,890 --> 01:20:29,882
No. Come on, sir. Look. No.

1248
01:20:29,958 --> 01:20:31,551
You've proved your point.

1249
01:20:31,827 --> 01:20:33,420
All right. What else can you do?

1250
01:20:33,495 --> 01:20:34,588
Just walk away.

1251
01:20:36,298 --> 01:20:38,392
You can't win, sir. They're
gonna build the air base.

1252
01:20:38,467 --> 01:20:39,833
They'll take down Clements.

1253
01:20:39,902 --> 01:20:41,427
Just... Just leave it.

1254
01:20:41,503 --> 01:20:44,029
Please. For once.

1255
01:20:44,106 --> 01:20:48,305
Just walk away, take
your retirement, sir.

1256
01:20:48,377 --> 01:20:49,868
Retirement, eh?

1257
01:20:49,945 --> 01:20:52,915
Tell him, Rachel. He'll
listen to you. Tell him.

1258
01:20:52,981 --> 01:20:55,041
- Sir, please, just...
- I mean it, Rachel.

1259
01:20:55,117 --> 01:20:58,019
You saw nothing,
you know nothing.

1260
01:20:59,988 --> 01:21:01,012
And one more thing.

1261
01:21:01,090 --> 01:21:03,457
Are you organizing a
do for my retirement?

1262
01:21:06,295 --> 01:21:07,388
Do you want a do?

1263
01:21:07,463 --> 01:21:08,522
Yeah.

1264
01:21:09,865 --> 01:21:11,026
Right.

1265
01:21:13,135 --> 01:21:15,627
I'll book the upstairs room at
The Old Straw House if you want.

1266
01:21:15,904 --> 01:21:19,033
Well, ohm thanks,
John. I appreciate that.

1267
01:21:20,242 --> 01:21:21,870
- Right.
- Yeah.

1268
01:21:34,923 --> 01:21:38,121
Cheer up. It's not
the end of the world.

1269
01:22:23,205 --> 01:22:24,503
Michael.

1270
01:22:29,711 --> 01:22:32,271
Adele said I'd find you here.

1271
01:22:35,617 --> 01:22:38,280
What's happening, George?

1272
01:22:38,353 --> 01:22:41,983
Did you kill the man
who killed your wife?

1273
01:22:42,057 --> 01:22:43,218
No.

1274
01:22:45,327 --> 01:22:48,491
You didn't kill Lesley
Pierce. I know that now.

1275
01:22:49,565 --> 01:22:50,565
I had to be sure.

1276
01:22:52,134 --> 01:22:53,500
And our deal?

1277
01:22:55,304 --> 01:22:56,738
One week's grace.

1278
01:22:58,607 --> 01:23:02,669
You don't have a week,
Michael. You don't have anything.

1279
01:23:02,744 --> 01:23:06,647
They want this site as an
air base for the Americans.

1280
01:23:06,715 --> 01:23:08,013
Yeah.

1281
01:23:10,185 --> 01:23:13,519
That's why they were
using me to bring you down.

1282
01:23:13,589 --> 01:23:16,718
Because what the Americans
want from us, they get.

1283
01:23:16,992 --> 01:23:19,518
And what about what
the people want, George?

1284
01:23:19,595 --> 01:23:23,726
Working people, honest people
who pay their taxes and vote.

1285
01:23:23,999 --> 01:23:25,592
Well, they don't
really count, do they?

1286
01:23:25,667 --> 01:23:27,397
Not really. Not to them.

1287
01:23:29,271 --> 01:23:32,639
You bribed a
serving police officer.

1288
01:23:32,708 --> 01:23:34,301
That's not going to go away.

1289
01:23:34,376 --> 01:23:37,005
Your political career is over.

1290
01:23:38,247 --> 01:23:41,115
But the fight needn't be.

1291
01:23:41,183 --> 01:23:43,277
You could expose the whole plot.

1292
01:23:43,352 --> 01:23:45,116
People will listen
to you, Michael.

1293
01:23:45,187 --> 01:23:46,746
Not without proof.

1294
01:23:48,423 --> 01:23:52,019
The proof is on its
way to your office.

1295
01:23:53,729 --> 01:23:59,100
But it's not about proof
and bits of paper, is it?

1296
01:24:00,035 --> 01:24:04,234
It's about principles and values

1297
01:24:04,306 --> 01:24:06,537
and everything that
we fought the war for

1298
01:24:06,608 --> 01:24:09,168
and tried to do
when we came back.

1299
01:24:10,245 --> 01:24:12,214
You might not win.
They'll outflank you.

1300
01:24:12,281 --> 01:24:14,307
They'll try to poison your name.

1301
01:24:14,383 --> 01:24:16,579
They'll spread rumors about you.

1302
01:24:16,652 --> 01:24:19,144
And that's why you
have to keep fighting.

1303
01:24:20,489 --> 01:24:23,459
'Cause what else
is there, Michael?

1304
01:24:23,525 --> 01:24:25,289
What else is there?

1305
01:24:29,298 --> 01:24:31,130
And will you be there, George?

1306
01:24:33,335 --> 01:24:34,803
Watching me back?

1307
01:24:39,074 --> 01:24:40,599
One way or another.

1308
01:24:48,417 --> 01:24:49,680
I'll see you in the future.

1309
01:24:54,523 --> 01:24:56,515
George Gently.

1310
01:26:11,333 --> 01:26:13,802
Isabella.

1311
01:27:04,586 --> 01:27:05,586
Yeah?

1312
01:27:26,641 --> 01:27:28,507
- Where is he?
- Over there, sir.

1313
01:27:28,577 --> 01:27:29,577
There.

1314
01:27:40,956 --> 01:27:42,390
Move. Move.

1315
01:27:44,526 --> 01:27:47,462
Oh, no, no.

1316
01:27:55,303 --> 01:27:56,896
Oh, God.

1317
01:28:11,987 --> 01:28:13,717
John!

1318
01:28:16,591 --> 01:28:18,560
Don't, Rachel, don't.

1319
01:28:18,627 --> 01:28:22,564
No. Oh, no.

1320
01:28:22,631 --> 01:28:24,964
Oh, God. No.

1321
01:29:02,070 --> 01:29:04,767
You see this? You all see it?

1322
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:08,004
Evidence of Bateson-Donnelly's
conspiracy with the government!

1323
01:29:08,076 --> 01:29:10,545
And it goes higher! Much higher!

1324
01:29:10,612 --> 01:29:12,513
They are turning this country

1325
01:29:12,581 --> 01:29:14,846
into an American
aircraft carrier.

1326
01:29:35,904 --> 01:29:37,998
To the Gov.

1327
01:29:38,073 --> 01:29:39,405
The Gov.

1328
01:29:44,946 --> 01:29:46,938
Ohh.

1329
01:29:55,924 --> 01:29:59,986
You know, neither of us
would be here without him.

1330
01:30:03,164 --> 01:30:05,724
Mixed blessing, that, isn't it?

1331
01:30:06,935 --> 01:30:08,904
I mean here.

1332
01:30:08,970 --> 01:30:10,836
In the force.

1333
01:30:10,906 --> 01:30:12,568
Doing this with...

1334
01:30:12,641 --> 01:30:14,610
We're lucky, you know.

1335
01:30:17,812 --> 01:30:19,644
Yeah, yeah. We are.

1336
01:30:28,156 --> 01:30:30,648
They'll say it's one
of his old enemies.

1337
01:30:32,794 --> 01:30:34,854
They'll cover it up.

1338
01:31:11,866 --> 01:31:13,994
What would George Gently do?

1339
01:31:20,709 --> 01:31:23,235
He'd say, "Don't think
about anything else.

1340
01:31:24,746 --> 01:31:25,975
Just get the evidence."
