TV: Strike action at
the London Dockyards
9
00:01:03,663 --> 00:01:05,043
entered its seventh week
10
00:01:05,043 --> 00:01:07,003
with little sign of a resolution.
11
00:01:07,003 --> 00:01:11,263
Union leader Joseph Walsh
addressed a mass meeting.
12
00:01:11,263 --> 00:01:12,563
This Government,
13
00:01:12,563 --> 00:01:15,743
the Government WE put into office,
14
00:01:15,743 --> 00:01:18,103
this Labour Government so-called,
15
00:01:18,103 --> 00:01:20,603
has sold us down the river.
16
00:01:20,603 --> 00:01:26,103
If we don't make a stand, in another
ten years, there'll be no docks.
17
00:01:26,103 --> 00:01:28,503
If we don't fight now,
18
00:01:28,503 --> 00:01:32,503
all this will be sold off
and built on by developers.
19
00:01:32,503 --> 00:01:35,043
Right - that's Canary Wharf now.
20
00:01:35,043 --> 00:01:39,923
1975, a Labour Government
with a majority of three.
21
00:01:39,923 --> 00:01:43,903
Inflation is going through the roof
and Joe Walsh is leading
22
00:01:43,903 --> 00:01:47,883
the crane drivers in a strike
that could paralyse the docks.
23
00:01:48,923 --> 00:01:53,563
Mr Walsh, can you comment on
press reports that your union
24
00:01:53,563 --> 00:01:59,483
has received secret funds from the
Soviet Union? No comment. And these have been diverted for your use?
25
00:01:59,483 --> 00:02:01,823
You what? Come here, you!
26
00:02:01,823 --> 00:02:03,883
A very strong reaction, Mr Walsh.
27
00:02:03,883 --> 00:02:09,483
Keeping your own hours, Brian?
On enquiries. Joe Walsh, isn't it?
28
00:02:09,483 --> 00:02:14,083
Yeah. He was a bit of a hero of mine.
That explains a lot.
29
00:02:14,083 --> 00:02:18,383
Joe Walsh's body was recovered
from the Thames on 20th May, 1975.
30
00:02:18,383 --> 00:02:23,263
Days after these financial
rumours began to circulate.
31
00:02:23,263 --> 00:02:26,603
He got caught and topped himself.
What's the mystery?
32
00:02:26,603 --> 00:02:33,283
Cabinet papers for 1975 have been
released under the 30-year rule.
33
00:02:33,283 --> 00:02:38,763
When Harold Wilson asked for
comments on the Dock Strike, the Minister for Economic Security said,
34
00:02:38,763 --> 00:02:41,743
and I quote, "In my opinion,
35
00:02:41,743 --> 00:02:46,123
"Joe Walsh is a politically motivated
man, holding the country to ransom.
36
00:02:46,123 --> 00:02:48,243
"What's the Security Service doing?
37
00:02:48,243 --> 00:02:53,643
"This man needs to be brought down
urgently. Do whatever it takes."
38
00:02:53,643 --> 00:02:59,403
I think we should reopen this case
and find out if Joe Walsh committed suicide, or if they disposed of him.
39
00:03:00,643 --> 00:03:05,683
High-profile case, politics,
security, could be a minefield.
40
00:03:05,683 --> 00:03:09,683
Still, you've all been
round the block a few times,
41
00:03:09,683 --> 00:03:16,203
Tread carefully. I'll watch
your back as much as I can. But don't push your luck.
42
00:03:16,203 --> 00:03:21,623
The body was recovered further down,
but they reckoned he went in about here.
43
00:03:25,119 --> 00:03:29,299
Well, if MI5 knocked off
stroppy trade unionists in the '70s,
44
00:03:29,299 --> 00:03:32,259
the mortuaries would be
standing room only.
45
00:03:32,259 --> 00:03:36,179
They'd been told to target him.
No. They targeted all sorts.
46
00:03:36,179 --> 00:03:42,359
I've got an old mate in the Trade
Union Movement. He might be able to shed some light on things.
47
00:03:42,359 --> 00:03:46,679
And someone ought to be looking
at the union's financial records.
48
00:03:46,679 --> 00:03:49,939
I'll have a go at that,
I've got experience.
49
00:03:49,939 --> 00:03:55,179
Eh? Brian used to be a Police
Federation Representative.
50
00:03:55,179 --> 00:03:57,419
Yeah, first sign he was going barmy.
51
00:03:57,419 --> 00:03:59,859
Any surviving witnesses?
52
00:03:59,859 --> 00:04:03,239
His daughter, Anita.
Not THE Anita Walsh?
53
00:04:03,239 --> 00:04:04,899
The same.
54
00:04:04,899 --> 00:04:07,019
Yeah! You and I can go talk to her.
55
00:04:07,019 --> 00:04:10,599
And, Jack,
someone's got to approach MI5.
56
00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:11,739
Thank you.
57
00:04:25,041 --> 00:04:29,421
Oh, these writers don't
live in garrets any more, do they?
58
00:04:29,421 --> 00:04:32,821
The ones who write
airport blockbusters don't, no.
59
00:05:03,211 --> 00:05:07,691
Miss Walsh? Yes? I am
Detective Superintendent Pullman.
60
00:05:07,691 --> 00:05:11,611
This is Gerry Standing. We need to
talk to you about your late father.
61
00:05:11,611 --> 00:05:14,511
We're reinvestigating his death.
62
00:05:14,511 --> 00:05:16,491
Can we come in?
63
00:05:16,491 --> 00:05:19,431
Yes. Thank you.
64
00:05:57,315 --> 00:06:00,375
TV: Technically speaking,
it's a cock up.
65
00:06:00,375 --> 00:06:04,295
Hello? Anybody home?
66
00:06:04,295 --> 00:06:08,315
Can I help you?
Oh, I'm looking for Frank Benson.
67
00:06:08,315 --> 00:06:11,995
I'm an old friend of his.
My name is Halford, Jack Halford.
68
00:06:11,995 --> 00:06:13,915
You're Jack?
69
00:06:13,915 --> 00:06:17,615
Yeah, I can see now,
granddad's always kept the photos.
70
00:06:17,615 --> 00:06:21,535
You must be Karen. Yeah, come in,
I expect he's nodded off.
71
00:06:22,995 --> 00:06:26,355
Gramps? You've got a visitor.
72
00:06:30,155 --> 00:06:35,295
Well, now, Frank, it's been a while.
Pisss off.
73
00:06:37,857 --> 00:06:42,617
He was trying to run a strike, he was
being slagged off by the Government,
74
00:06:42,617 --> 00:06:49,277
and on top of that he was being
smeared in the media for taking money from foreign governments.
75
00:06:49,277 --> 00:06:54,757
You don't think he did? He had his
faults, but he was as straight as a telegraph pole.
76
00:06:54,757 --> 00:06:56,477
What did you make of the rumours?
77
00:06:56,477 --> 00:07:00,817
How should I know? I wasn't involved
in trade union politics.
78
00:07:00,817 --> 00:07:03,597
You say he had his faults, what?
79
00:07:03,597 --> 00:07:08,197
My dad liked getting his own way,
he didn't like being contradicted.
80
00:07:08,197 --> 00:07:09,997
I was a teenage girl.
81
00:07:09,997 --> 00:07:16,877
I had all the usual issues with
my dad, you know - clothes, staying out late, boyfriends, smoking.
82
00:07:16,877 --> 00:07:19,617
The stuff everybody goes through.
83
00:07:19,617 --> 00:07:24,857
Only, most people get a chance
to work it out. I never did.
84
00:07:26,477 --> 00:07:28,277
I loved him.
85
00:07:28,277 --> 00:07:33,017
Look, I know this must be difficult
for you, but could you help us
86
00:07:33,017 --> 00:07:35,837
find people close to him
at the time?
87
00:07:35,837 --> 00:07:39,037
You could try Brendan. Who's that?
88
00:07:39,037 --> 00:07:42,317
Brendan Dyer.
He was the Deputy General Secretary.
89
00:07:42,317 --> 00:07:46,197
He and his wife, Rose, were very good
to me. You're still in touch? Yes.
90
00:07:55,537 --> 00:07:59,757
This is where you'll find them.
Thank you, Miss Walsh. Listen...
91
00:07:59,757 --> 00:08:03,477
could you sign this for me?
I'm a big fan.
92
00:08:03,477 --> 00:08:06,517
Certainly. To Gerry, with a "G".
93
00:08:09,557 --> 00:08:12,917
Thank you very much. There you go.
Bye-bye.
94
00:08:41,408 --> 00:08:45,448
My God, that looks nasty. Something
from the forensic pathology lab?
95
00:08:45,448 --> 00:08:47,828
Medication.
96
00:09:07,628 --> 00:09:14,248
Look out! I can confirm that
the Security Service did have a file on Joseph Walsh in 1975.
97
00:09:14,248 --> 00:09:18,908
Can I see it?
The file was reclassified as inactive when he died,
98
00:09:18,908 --> 00:09:21,348
and after a suitable interval
it was destroyed.
99
00:09:23,648 --> 00:09:28,068
Is there any record of what actions
the Security Service took? No.
100
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:30,728
We have no reason to assume
they took any actions.
101
00:09:30,728 --> 00:09:34,468
A Cabinet Minister asked for action.
102
00:09:34,468 --> 00:09:39,528
He was asking for information. There
may have been nothing to report.
103
00:09:39,528 --> 00:09:42,448
If you've destroyed the files,
104
00:09:42,448 --> 00:09:47,388
I want to talk to the officers
who were involved in this matter.
105
00:09:47,388 --> 00:09:50,108
We're talking about 30 years ago.
106
00:09:50,108 --> 00:09:55,188
Anyone senior enough to be involved
would be long retired,
107
00:09:55,188 --> 00:09:57,248
and indeed quite likely deceased.
108
00:09:57,248 --> 00:10:01,288
A brick wall? I hope you don't feel
that we're being uncooperative.
109
00:10:01,288 --> 00:10:06,688
There is an independent commission
to whom you can refer any complaint.
110
00:10:12,748 --> 00:10:17,488
How many complaints
has the Commission ever upheld?
111
00:10:17,488 --> 00:10:20,708
I'm happy to say
that we have a clean sheet.
112
00:10:24,788 --> 00:10:26,368
Look out, mate!
113
00:10:50,555 --> 00:10:53,135
You were top man in the union
after Joe Walsh?
114
00:10:53,135 --> 00:10:57,335
Oh-ho. There was only one top man.
Joe depended on you.
115
00:10:57,335 --> 00:11:01,835
Well, for the everyday things maybe.
The old paperwork and that.
116
00:11:01,835 --> 00:11:05,575
No, Joe was a real leader,
he could hold a mass meeting
117
00:11:05,575 --> 00:11:09,255
in the palm of his hands, and
I'm talking hard cases, dockers.
118
00:11:09,255 --> 00:11:15,075
Brendan did a lot of the work
and Joe got a lot of the glory.
119
00:11:15,075 --> 00:11:17,935
Were you involved as well, Rose?
120
00:11:17,935 --> 00:11:22,915
Yes, I trained as a teacher,
but I became an education officer for the union. That's how we met.
121
00:11:22,915 --> 00:11:27,655
Brendan, you were the last person
to see Joe Walsh alive.
122
00:11:27,655 --> 00:11:31,815
Yeah, yes, we'd spent the day with
George McCready, the treasurer.
123
00:11:31,815 --> 00:11:33,815
Now Lord McCready?
124
00:11:33,815 --> 00:11:35,455
Yeah.
125
00:11:35,455 --> 00:11:41,435
We were going through the books
cos the news had just broken about the missing funds -
126
00:11:41,435 --> 00:11:48,955
Joe and me wanted to check them
before the committee got started, and there was something badly wrong.
127
00:11:48,955 --> 00:11:53,315
But Joe couldn't explain it,
he was baffled.
128
00:11:53,315 --> 00:11:58,755
Joe was no good at figures! He got
a mate to work out his darts score.
129
00:11:58,755 --> 00:12:05,515
Anyway, George had to go
and I had an evening meeting, so we left Joe in the office.
130
00:12:28,143 --> 00:12:33,863
We really ought to speak to Lord
McCready but unfortunately his office can't find a window for us.
131
00:12:33,863 --> 00:12:37,363
And he's essential to your
inquiry, is he? Oh, yeah.
132
00:12:37,363 --> 00:12:40,483
Yes, it's all in the rulebook -
133
00:12:40,483 --> 00:12:43,683
rule ten, sub-paragraph seven.
134
00:12:43,683 --> 00:12:45,963
Yes, Brian, the gist of which is...
135
00:12:45,963 --> 00:12:49,503
Well, McCready and Joe Walsh
were the only people in the union
136
00:12:49,503 --> 00:12:53,543
who had the power to authorise
payments without going through the executive.
137
00:12:53,543 --> 00:12:58,043
Sandra could just barge in McCready's
office with her warrant card.
138
00:12:58,043 --> 00:13:00,883
No, I'll see what I can do.
139
00:13:00,883 --> 00:13:03,423
Thank you, sir.
WATCH ALARM SOUNDS
140
00:14:13,678 --> 00:14:15,438
There we are.
141
00:14:17,058 --> 00:14:20,598
Urgh! Carrion?
142
00:14:20,598 --> 00:14:22,818
I beg your pardon?
143
00:14:22,818 --> 00:14:25,578
The flesh of a deceased creature.
144
00:14:25,578 --> 00:14:31,318
I shouldn't be introducing that
kind of material into my system.
145
00:14:31,318 --> 00:14:34,498
What? My body is a temple.
146
00:14:34,498 --> 00:14:38,698
I suppose I could have a go
at the broccoli and tomato.
147
00:14:38,698 --> 00:14:42,958
This is organic?
Have you been taking your pills?
148
00:14:42,958 --> 00:14:45,458
What?
149
00:14:45,458 --> 00:14:48,138
Am I not a picture of health?
150
00:14:48,138 --> 00:14:52,278
Your pills are not about how you
look. Have you been taking them?
151
00:14:52,278 --> 00:14:53,738
Yes, of course.
152
00:14:57,878 --> 00:15:00,578
Well, you've not taken today's.
153
00:15:03,438 --> 00:15:07,918
That's because they have to be taken
with food, they're just due now.
154
00:15:10,838 --> 00:15:12,298
Swallow.
155
00:15:34,518 --> 00:15:38,018
Oh, Brian,
what's Scruffy doing here?
156
00:15:38,018 --> 00:15:41,518
That wasn't Scruffy. That was me.
157
00:15:47,298 --> 00:15:49,418
Right, progress?
158
00:15:49,418 --> 00:15:52,918
Well, Strickland's managed to get
us in to see McCready.
159
00:15:52,918 --> 00:15:55,658
And I checked out Dyers' boat.
160
00:15:55,658 --> 00:15:59,998
Brendan paid £7,000
for it in June, 1975.
161
00:15:59,998 --> 00:16:02,738
A few weeks after Joe Walsh died.
162
00:16:02,738 --> 00:16:06,418
Serious money in those days,
my first house cost less than that.
163
00:16:06,418 --> 00:16:08,738
Wish I could say the same about
my first wife.
164
00:16:08,738 --> 00:16:13,438
That's way more than Brendan
Dyer earned in a year. We have to find out where the money came from.
165
00:16:13,438 --> 00:16:19,338
How about the documents?
I'm struggling with these accounts. It's complicated stuff.
166
00:16:19,338 --> 00:16:25,098
But I think we should discuss
these trade union leaflets.
167
00:16:25,098 --> 00:16:30,998
Gerry, Jack and I were represented
by the Police Federation in the job.
168
00:16:30,998 --> 00:16:33,118
Yeah, not that we had any choice.
169
00:16:33,118 --> 00:16:38,598
Yeah, but now we're in UCOS,
we're non-unionised. So we're open to exploitation.
170
00:16:38,598 --> 00:16:41,678
We've no collective
bargaining rights.
171
00:16:41,678 --> 00:16:43,258
Oh, knock it off, Brian!
172
00:16:43,258 --> 00:16:46,878
What about
our employment protection?
173
00:16:46,878 --> 00:16:49,578
I mean, how do we deal with
health and safety at work?
174
00:16:49,578 --> 00:16:55,618
Or discrimination as regards,
er, gender or disabilities?
175
00:16:55,618 --> 00:16:59,798
Brian, we are in the middle of an
inquiry here. Ethnicity, child care.
176
00:16:59,798 --> 00:17:06,038
It's a very good question, Brian,
but I think we ought to deal with it out of the presence of management.
177
00:17:10,038 --> 00:17:11,518
Good point.
178
00:17:14,978 --> 00:17:21,098
Right, has anyone got anything
to say about the case? I've been looking at the post mortem report.
179
00:17:21,098 --> 00:17:25,238
I thought that was straightforward,
drowning? But injuries to the head and body
180
00:17:25,238 --> 00:17:29,038
were put down to being swept into
pilings and bridges by the tide.
181
00:17:29,038 --> 00:17:32,418
Who did the post mortem? Dr Ludlow.
Ha-ha!
182
00:17:32,418 --> 00:17:33,858
Handy Andy.
183
00:17:35,398 --> 00:17:40,418
Dr Andrew Ludlow. Struck off by
the General Medical Council, 1987.
184
00:17:40,418 --> 00:17:42,538
Died 1998.
185
00:17:42,538 --> 00:17:44,778
Shit. And Walsh was cremated.
186
00:17:46,018 --> 00:17:49,138
OK, get another pathologist
to look at the evidence.
187
00:17:49,138 --> 00:17:54,538
Sandra, you know that mate of mine,
Frank Benson? The union guy? Yes. I think he could be useful.
188
00:17:54,538 --> 00:17:58,238
He's a bit reluctant to talk to me.
I wondered if you'd come along.
189
00:17:58,238 --> 00:18:01,498
I mean, knowing Frank,
with a bit of skirt...
190
00:18:01,498 --> 00:18:05,758
I mean, I think he'd probably
be more inclined to unbutton...
191
00:18:08,958 --> 00:18:11,838
Would you come along with me?
I'll come along. Thank you.
192
00:18:11,838 --> 00:18:14,098
Karen?
193
00:18:14,098 --> 00:18:18,258
Superintendent Pullman.
I need to ask Frank some questions.
194
00:18:18,258 --> 00:18:20,598
Maybe he'll talk to her
if he won't talk to me.
195
00:18:20,598 --> 00:18:23,918
It's really important, honestly. OK.
196
00:18:23,918 --> 00:18:25,738
Thank you.
197
00:18:28,318 --> 00:18:31,018
I bloody told you.
Now, now, Frank, ladies present.
198
00:18:31,018 --> 00:18:34,138
Frank, I'm Detective
Superintendent Pullman.
199
00:18:34,138 --> 00:18:38,818
We're reinvestigating
the death of Joe Walsh.
200
00:18:40,438 --> 00:18:43,498
All right,
but I'm not talking to him.
201
00:18:43,498 --> 00:18:45,238
Let's make some tea.
202
00:18:49,018 --> 00:18:52,438
You were his best man.
How d'you fall out with Jack?
203
00:18:52,438 --> 00:18:55,798
Miners' strike. Orgreave, '84.
204
00:18:55,798 --> 00:18:59,678
I was a TUC observer on the picket
line when your lot rode us down.
205
00:18:59,678 --> 00:19:03,018
Jack had nothing to do
with Orgreave.
206
00:19:03,018 --> 00:19:08,158
How a man with his background could
stay in the police after that.
207
00:19:08,158 --> 00:19:11,998
20 years.
Long time to hold a grudge.
208
00:19:11,998 --> 00:19:14,938
Not where I come from.
209
00:19:18,158 --> 00:19:21,658
So you're a lifelong trade unionist?
I went down the pit first off,
210
00:19:21,658 --> 00:19:26,398
then I became an NUM official, and
after that I got a job with the TUC.
211
00:19:26,398 --> 00:19:28,998
And you were involved in
the dock strike in 1975?
212
00:19:28,998 --> 00:19:35,798
I was the liaison between
the crane drivers and the TUC. But you know all this. Come on. OK.
213
00:19:35,798 --> 00:19:40,098
Joe Walsh, were you close to him?
He could have been
214
00:19:40,098 --> 00:19:43,198
the greatest working-class
leader since Nye Bevan.
215
00:19:43,198 --> 00:19:45,258
So they had to take him down.
216
00:19:45,258 --> 00:19:47,758
They? MI5, the State.
217
00:19:47,758 --> 00:19:49,898
They had us all sewn up.
218
00:19:49,898 --> 00:19:53,298
How did they do that? Their
paid agent did it, their Judas.
219
00:19:53,298 --> 00:19:56,978
There was a mole
right at the heart of the union,
220
00:19:56,978 --> 00:20:01,558
and he cooked the books
and he killed Joe Walsh.
221
00:20:03,318 --> 00:20:08,018
So you're saying that an MI5 agent
framed and murdered Joe Walsh?
222
00:20:08,018 --> 00:20:11,338
They tried it on Scargill
in the miners' strike.
223
00:20:11,338 --> 00:20:16,978
They tried to fit him up
for taking back-handers from Libya, but they couldn't make it stick.
224
00:20:16,978 --> 00:20:21,858
They didn't try to murder him.
Who do you think this mole was?
225
00:20:21,858 --> 00:20:24,118
As God is my witness,
if I knew him...
226
00:20:32,111 --> 00:20:35,711
Karen... Karen.
227
00:20:35,711 --> 00:20:40,731
Don't worry, Gramps. We'll sort it
out. Let's get you to the bathroom. You'd better go. Thank you.
228
00:22:40,802 --> 00:22:42,882
You're doing a wonderful job.
229
00:22:44,013 --> 00:22:48,453
I've checked the clear-up
figures - outstanding. Thank you.
230
00:22:48,453 --> 00:22:52,073
You were treasurer of
the Crane Drivers' Union in 1975.
231
00:22:52,073 --> 00:22:55,513
When did you see something
was wrong with the accounts?
232
00:22:55,513 --> 00:22:57,753
I was an elected official,
233
00:22:57,753 --> 00:23:01,613
responsible for taking an overview
of financial matters.
234
00:23:01,613 --> 00:23:08,673
Day-to-day transactions were in the
hands of a full-time union employee, a book-keeper. Who was that?
235
00:23:08,673 --> 00:23:13,333
Dear old Glenys Heyford. Served
the union all her working life.
236
00:23:13,333 --> 00:23:18,893
An absolute treasure in many
ways but if the truth be told, she wasn't really up to the job.
237
00:23:18,893 --> 00:23:21,613
Do you know how we could contact her?
238
00:23:21,613 --> 00:23:23,433
Glenys is long gone.
239
00:23:23,433 --> 00:23:27,833
That we're used to. Now, Glenys
dealt with the day-to-day figures.
240
00:23:27,833 --> 00:23:34,253
Shortly before Joe Walsh died,
I was working with her on a union executive meeting.
241
00:23:34,253 --> 00:23:38,553
We realised funds were missing.
Then it was leaked to the press.
242
00:23:38,553 --> 00:23:41,353
By whom?
We never got to the bottom of that.
243
00:23:41,353 --> 00:23:44,953
After Joe died,
no-one had the heart to pursue it.
244
00:23:44,953 --> 00:23:51,553
Who knew at that point? Me, Glenys,
Joe Walsh, Brendan Dyer.
245
00:23:51,553 --> 00:23:56,993
I suppose if Brendan knew, he might
have told Rose and Anita Walsh.
246
00:23:56,993 --> 00:24:01,953
Why Anita? Anita used to help out
in her school holidays.
247
00:24:01,953 --> 00:24:06,953
You don't know who leaked to the
press? Any idea who took the money?
248
00:24:06,953 --> 00:24:13,133
All I can tell you is that Joe
took the publicity terribly badly,
249
00:24:13,133 --> 00:24:14,392
and was found dead
shortly afterwards.
250
00:24:14,393 --> 00:24:18,933
Well, you see, that's the whole
point of free collective bargaining.
251
00:24:18,933 --> 00:24:21,873
Go on, mate, get yourself signed up.
252
00:24:21,873 --> 00:24:26,913
Join the flunkies' union.
I mean, you've every right.
253
00:24:26,913 --> 00:24:30,653
You're only a worker
in a toff's jacket.
254
00:24:30,653 --> 00:24:34,413
A mouthful of plums don't mean
you haven't got rights.
255
00:24:34,413 --> 00:24:40,513
Hang on, just one second,
it's here somewhere, just get the glasses on maybe. That's better.
256
00:24:40,513 --> 00:24:43,893
Our colleague, Brian Lane,
Lord McCready.
257
00:24:43,893 --> 00:24:45,693
How d'you do?
258
00:24:45,693 --> 00:24:50,113
Now, I just want a quick word
about Trade Union rights.
259
00:24:50,113 --> 00:24:53,873
You see, as this book
clearly demonstrates -
260
00:24:53,873 --> 00:24:59,133
in the strike in the 1980s, the
Government used security services
261
00:24:59,133 --> 00:25:02,813
to try to smear Arthur Scargill
and the NUM.
262
00:25:02,813 --> 00:25:06,533
Brian, can we stick to...
We see a pattern emerging.
263
00:25:06,533 --> 00:25:11,193
The same tactic was used against
Joe Walsh and the Crane Drivers.
264
00:25:11,193 --> 00:25:18,613
We're supposed to be investigating...
And my question is, Lord McCready, as a former officer
265
00:25:18,613 --> 00:25:26,413
of the Police Federation, I am
well aware of the tactics used by a ruthless secret service
266
00:25:26,413 --> 00:25:31,453
intent on undermining
quite legitimate trade union activity. Brian.
267
00:25:31,453 --> 00:25:35,673
What I want to know is,
was I a victim of this
268
00:25:35,673 --> 00:25:39,253
totally unacceptable intrusion
into my private life?
269
00:25:39,253 --> 00:25:44,613
It's an interesting question, Mr
Lane, but I don't see the relevance.
270
00:25:44,613 --> 00:25:46,253
Ha!
271
00:25:46,253 --> 00:25:49,653
So my answer is, no comment.
272
00:25:49,653 --> 00:25:54,973
No comment. Now, if you'll excuse
me, I have another appointment with the select committee.
273
00:25:54,973 --> 00:25:57,093
Oh, yes, wouldn't you know.
274
00:25:57,093 --> 00:25:59,613
No comment. No comment.
275
00:25:59,613 --> 00:26:02,813
I think we'll leave it there
for today.
276
00:26:02,813 --> 00:26:05,253
I had a valid point to make.
Yes, and you made it.
277
00:26:05,253 --> 00:26:07,453
Did I or did I not? You did.
278
00:26:07,453 --> 00:26:11,153
Didn't I have a valid point? Yes,
and you made it! He knows as well.
279
00:30:36,777 --> 00:30:41,057
Hello? More questions?
280
00:30:41,057 --> 00:30:43,137
I hope this isn't going to take long.
281
00:30:43,137 --> 00:30:49,337
You said you weren't involved with
your father's union work. All right.
282
00:30:49,337 --> 00:30:54,617
Look, I didn't want to go there.
I've been through a lot dealing with what happened to my dad.
283
00:30:54,617 --> 00:31:00,177
So if I have to revisit the time
of his death, I'd rather do it with a shrink and not a detective.
284
00:31:00,177 --> 00:31:02,597
No offence. None taken.
285
00:31:04,157 --> 00:31:06,517
I do understand
what you mean, Anita.
286
00:31:06,517 --> 00:31:11,277
I lost my dad when I was 14
and I'm still working it out, shrink and all.
287
00:31:15,497 --> 00:31:17,317
Do you fancy a drink?
288
00:31:20,177 --> 00:31:22,137
Yeah, I think I might
have gone off duty.
289
00:31:23,777 --> 00:31:28,037
Oh, these trips down memory lane
never do me any good at all.
290
00:31:30,537 --> 00:31:35,077
40 years. Old Frank wasn't
a bad-looking lad in those days.
291
00:31:37,657 --> 00:31:42,077
And you, as Frank said in his speech,
292
00:31:42,077 --> 00:31:44,157
you were an English rose.
293
00:31:44,157 --> 00:31:49,417
Oh, I know I should have made it up
with Frank years ago,
294
00:31:49,417 --> 00:31:51,397
and now he's hasn't got long.
295
00:31:53,497 --> 00:31:56,097
Oh...that picnic.
296
00:31:56,097 --> 00:31:58,017
He got plastered.
297
00:31:58,017 --> 00:32:01,237
I bet that was one lost day
in his precious diary.
298
00:32:02,837 --> 00:32:05,057
Of course!
299
00:32:05,057 --> 00:32:08,757
The bugger always kept a diary.
300
00:32:08,757 --> 00:32:12,477
I could get used to
a place like this.
301
00:32:12,477 --> 00:32:17,497
Yep, the truth is, I've got it all
but I still keep on striving,
302
00:32:17,497 --> 00:32:22,737
churning out the books,
sweating over the reviews, totting up the royalties.
303
00:32:22,737 --> 00:32:24,497
You're just like me,
304
00:32:24,497 --> 00:32:30,817
beavering away, waiting for a pat
on the head that says, "Yep, you've done enough, Daddy's pleased."
305
00:32:30,817 --> 00:32:33,697
And now it's never going to come.
306
00:32:34,737 --> 00:32:38,437
And...it may never have, anyway.
307
00:32:38,437 --> 00:32:40,817
Surely he'd have been
very proud of you?
308
00:32:40,817 --> 00:32:44,037
He'd have hated the stuff I write.
309
00:32:44,037 --> 00:32:47,997
My dad's idea of a good read
was Jack London or Maxim Gorky.
310
00:32:47,997 --> 00:32:52,437
He even thought Orwell
was a bourgeois sell-out.
311
00:32:54,397 --> 00:32:59,177
Anita, did anything in your
father's behaviour suggest to you
312
00:32:59,177 --> 00:33:03,037
that he thought that somebody in his
intimate circle was spying on him?
313
00:33:03,037 --> 00:33:08,437
Because at the time,
there was this strong suspicion there was an MI5 mole in the union.
314
00:33:10,037 --> 00:33:15,977
I made the tea,
I wrote slogans on placards, I wasn't in the loop, Sandra.
315
00:33:30,681 --> 00:33:34,561
Turn that light off!
If they're out there, they'll know.
316
00:33:34,561 --> 00:33:36,721
What? Who'll know what?
317
00:33:36,721 --> 00:33:38,581
Shh!
318
00:33:40,581 --> 00:33:44,621
If they're out there watching,
they'll know I'm sweeping the house.
319
00:33:44,621 --> 00:33:47,441
Sweeping it? For bugs!
320
00:33:47,441 --> 00:33:51,061
What? Electronic listening devices!
321
00:33:51,061 --> 00:33:56,421
That's ridiculous. Brian, there is
nobody watching this house, and you know it.
322
00:33:56,421 --> 00:33:59,321
Esther, I've been
a policeman and a unionist.
323
00:33:59,321 --> 00:34:03,901
No-one knows better than I
how far these spooks will go to obtain useful information.
324
00:34:03,901 --> 00:34:06,721
You haven't got
any useful information.
325
00:34:06,721 --> 00:34:09,281
What? You haven't...
326
00:34:09,281 --> 00:34:12,361
You have not got any
useful information.
327
00:34:12,361 --> 00:34:15,561
You've no idea the lengths
to which these people will go!
328
00:34:18,241 --> 00:34:21,081
Brian, that looks
incredibly dangerous.
329
00:34:22,601 --> 00:34:26,741
You've been throwing your pills
away again, haven't you?
330
00:34:26,741 --> 00:34:31,721
Don't be ridiculous.
I found one in the plant pot. That was a slug pellet.
331
00:34:31,721 --> 00:34:33,541
There aren't any slugs in my house.
332
00:34:33,541 --> 00:34:36,001
Because they're
exceedingly good pellets.
333
00:34:41,561 --> 00:34:43,061
Ohhh!
334
00:34:43,061 --> 00:34:47,001
Come back to bed, Brian. Agh!
335
00:35:28,721 --> 00:35:34,101
Howzat! You see, I'm a great loss
to English cricket.
336
00:35:34,101 --> 00:35:37,221
I mean, I've got the talent
but no coaching. Morning, Gerry.
337
00:35:37,221 --> 00:35:38,921
What did you do to your head?
338
00:35:38,921 --> 00:35:41,001
Nothing.
339
00:35:41,001 --> 00:35:43,081
I've been talking to Esther.
340
00:35:43,081 --> 00:35:47,381
You've been a very bad boy. Esther
gets some daft ideas in her head.
341
00:35:47,381 --> 00:35:49,441
You haven't been
taking your medicine.
342
00:35:49,441 --> 00:35:52,321
She doesn't understand, Gerry.
343
00:35:52,321 --> 00:35:55,601
I can't go on
poisoning my system with chemicals.
344
00:35:55,601 --> 00:36:01,161
The point is, your system poisons
itself if it's left on its own.
345
00:36:01,161 --> 00:36:05,261
Your body's churning out
dodgy chemicals. You need these to level it out.
346
00:36:05,261 --> 00:36:08,121
I'm all right, really.
No you're not, Brian.
347
00:36:08,121 --> 00:36:11,441
I've got to tell you, mate,
you haven't been doing your job.
348
00:36:11,441 --> 00:36:14,841
Oh, come on! No, no, listen.
349
00:36:14,841 --> 00:36:21,101
This team relies on you
to do the balls-aching crap, like these accounts.
350
00:36:21,101 --> 00:36:23,721
But you've been dodging the column!
351
00:36:23,721 --> 00:36:26,081
Yeah, well, it's difficult.
352
00:36:26,081 --> 00:36:31,481
It's impossible if you don't
look after yourself properly. Now, come on, take this.
353
00:36:32,701 --> 00:36:33,801
Go on.
354
00:36:35,781 --> 00:36:37,041
Here...
355
00:36:38,501 --> 00:36:41,281
..and no cheating.
356
00:36:48,281 --> 00:36:50,401
Open wide.
357
00:36:51,461 --> 00:36:54,001
No, again, come on, properly.
358
00:36:57,041 --> 00:36:59,401
Yeah, good boy.
359
00:36:59,401 --> 00:37:05,441
Now, we're gonna carry on
like this and in no time at all, you'll be back to your old self.
360
00:37:05,441 --> 00:37:07,481
Which is quite bad enough.
361
00:37:24,101 --> 00:37:26,541
SIREN WAILS
362
00:37:35,101 --> 00:37:38,941
He was really bad this morning,
so I sent for the ambulance.
363
00:37:38,941 --> 00:37:41,281
Let me know when I can see him.
If he'll let me.
364
00:37:41,281 --> 00:37:43,101
Really, he'll want you to.
365
00:37:43,101 --> 00:37:45,041
He was so glad you got in touch.
366
00:37:45,041 --> 00:37:47,481
Thanks, Karen.
We'll take care of it.
367
00:37:48,861 --> 00:37:53,421
30th April, 1975, total cheques
368
00:37:53,421 --> 00:37:57,881
and cash received, £2,375.49.
369
00:37:59,601 --> 00:38:01,681
Hold on, hold on, look.
370
00:38:01,681 --> 00:38:07,961
14th May, £2,375.49 paid into bank.
371
00:38:07,961 --> 00:38:09,781
There's a pattern emerging.
372
00:38:09,781 --> 00:38:13,241
Not to me there's not.
Morning, Brian. Morning, Gerry.
373
00:38:13,241 --> 00:38:15,641
Morning, Sandra. Morning, Jack.
374
00:38:20,729 --> 00:38:22,789
Got Frank's diaries.
375
00:38:22,789 --> 00:38:25,889
He never used names in his diaries,
only initials.
376
00:38:25,889 --> 00:38:30,829
JW, BD, GM, MS, GH.
377
00:38:30,829 --> 00:38:35,749
So, JW - Joe Walsh, BD - Brendan
Dyer, GM - George McCready.
378
00:38:35,749 --> 00:38:37,789
What are the other initials? Er, MS.
379
00:38:37,789 --> 00:38:43,329
No, that doesn't ring any bells.
Can you check with Dyer about that? Sure. Listen to this, it's a corker.
380
00:38:43,329 --> 00:38:46,509
GM - that's McCready -
381
00:38:46,509 --> 00:38:50,409
"Late for meeting, looking flustered,
lipstick on collar.
382
00:38:50,409 --> 00:38:53,549
"GH arrived just after, breathless.
383
00:38:53,549 --> 00:38:56,549
"Halfway through meeting
before she realised
384
00:38:56,549 --> 00:39:01,429
"she hadn't done up all her
blouse buttons." That's what I call industrial action.
385
00:39:01,429 --> 00:39:06,389
McCready spent his whole life under
the suspicion of sexual impropriety.
386
00:39:06,389 --> 00:39:11,469
GH, who's GH? Glynis Heyford.
The book-keeper. She's all over these documents.
387
00:39:11,469 --> 00:39:15,089
So we've got the treasurer knocking
off the book keeper and 30 years on,
388
00:39:15,089 --> 00:39:18,969
misrepresenting her as an
incompetent. Nice man. I've got it!
389
00:39:18,969 --> 00:39:21,729
This is an old-fashioned fraud.
390
00:39:21,729 --> 00:39:23,929
It's called "teeming and lading".
391
00:39:23,929 --> 00:39:28,049
You take money out in cash
and you make up the difference
392
00:39:28,049 --> 00:39:31,749
by banking part of next month's
income as if it was this month's.
393
00:39:31,749 --> 00:39:36,949
So that's why the banking was done
a fortnight after the accounts were recorded. Exactly.
394
00:39:36,949 --> 00:39:39,169
But you can't keep that up long,
surely?
395
00:39:39,169 --> 00:39:44,209
If you keep taking cash out,
there must be a deficit that next month's income can't cover?
396
00:39:44,209 --> 00:39:47,949
Sure. And if you're not going to be
caught out, you need to make up
397
00:39:47,949 --> 00:39:51,329
the deficiency with
lump-sum payments from somewhere.
398
00:39:51,329 --> 00:39:57,409
In this case, cheques coming in from
a bank that's known to do a lot of business with the Soviet Union.
399
00:39:57,409 --> 00:40:02,969
So Soviet cheques were coming in
and cash was surreptitiously being taken out.
400
00:40:02,969 --> 00:40:06,389
Joe Walsh couldn't have set this up,
but he should have spotted it.
401
00:40:06,389 --> 00:40:09,009
No, he wasn't into figures,
not a man for detail.
402
00:40:09,009 --> 00:40:13,249
The way things were run at the
union, it had to be the treasurer
403
00:40:13,249 --> 00:40:15,589
and the book-keeper
working together.
404
00:40:15,589 --> 00:40:20,869
I had a workplace liaison
with an older woman.
405
00:40:20,869 --> 00:40:25,849
So what? Good grief,
people were at it all the time.
406
00:40:25,849 --> 00:40:28,729
We're talking about
your complicity in a fraud.
407
00:40:28,729 --> 00:40:34,889
When Joe Walsh was found dead, that
seemed to confirm his responsibility for the financial irregularities.
408
00:40:34,889 --> 00:40:39,889
Nobody looked very hard at
the evidence, but it is all there.
409
00:40:39,889 --> 00:40:42,609
See if you can get a prosecution
going, then.
410
00:40:42,609 --> 00:40:45,389
I know what you'll get from the DPP.
411
00:40:45,389 --> 00:40:49,049
"Not in the public interest."
You think you're fireproof.
412
00:40:50,829 --> 00:40:54,309
So you were the MI5 mole
in the union?
413
00:40:54,309 --> 00:41:01,429
Joe Walsh was on the verge of
bringing down a Labour Government. I did what I thought was right. Mm.
414
00:41:01,429 --> 00:41:04,189
You haven't suffered for it,
have you, My Lord?
415
00:41:04,189 --> 00:41:08,889
Joe Walsh wasn't only framed, he
died under suspicious circumstances.
416
00:41:08,889 --> 00:41:12,909
We've had a pathologist look
at the reports and the photographs
417
00:41:12,909 --> 00:41:18,529
and she says that he could
have been struck over the head before he entered the water.
418
00:41:18,529 --> 00:41:20,149
Now, wait a minute.
419
00:41:20,149 --> 00:41:25,529
Since he wasn't responsible
for the fraud, he hardly had a motive for suicide.
420
00:41:25,529 --> 00:41:29,549
We're treating this as
a murder investigation. Now, now...
421
00:41:29,549 --> 00:41:34,689
I cooked the books for HMG,
but I didn't kill Joe.
422
00:41:34,689 --> 00:41:38,189
That day in the office, I went
straight to a public meeting.
423
00:41:38,189 --> 00:41:43,609
There were witnesses,
minutes taken, even, if I remember right, photographs.
424
00:41:43,609 --> 00:41:45,149
We'll check.
425
00:41:45,149 --> 00:41:47,649
If you must.
426
00:41:47,649 --> 00:41:49,929
But if Joe really was murdered...
427
00:41:51,649 --> 00:41:53,469
Well?
428
00:41:53,469 --> 00:41:58,249
..I left him with Brendan Dyer
the day he died.
429
00:41:58,249 --> 00:42:00,489
Now, there was a man with a motive.
430
00:42:13,097 --> 00:42:16,897
Of course I couldn't have afforded
this on what I was earning.
431
00:42:16,897 --> 00:42:21,397
Rose's aunt in New Zealand died
and she didn't have any kids so...
432
00:42:21,397 --> 00:42:24,457
she left Rose a tidy little sum
for them days.
433
00:42:24,457 --> 00:42:26,397
So, that's one matter cleared up.
434
00:42:26,397 --> 00:42:29,217
Now, we've been going through
Frank Benson's diary.
435
00:42:29,217 --> 00:42:34,617
Now, we've identified most of
the initials, but there's one that still puzzles us - MS.
436
00:42:34,617 --> 00:42:37,297
MOBILE PHONE RINGS
Oh, sorry about that, excuse me.
437
00:42:37,297 --> 00:42:39,477
MS? Yeah.
438
00:42:39,477 --> 00:42:46,977
"MS put his oar in, same old bull,
got up JW's nose more than ever."
439
00:42:46,977 --> 00:42:49,497
That'll be Trotsky.
440
00:42:49,497 --> 00:42:52,317
Trotsky? That's what Joe called him.
441
00:42:52,317 --> 00:42:54,677
Mark somebody.
Mark Seroyan, that's it.
442
00:42:54,677 --> 00:42:58,977
Seroyan? He was a student. Fancied
himself as a political activist.
443
00:42:58,977 --> 00:43:02,597
Was always flogging newspapers
down the dock gates.
444
00:43:02,597 --> 00:43:06,757
Then when the strike kicked off,
well, it was all over us, right?
445
00:43:06,757 --> 00:43:09,217
So we let him do the photocopying,
make the tea,
446
00:43:09,217 --> 00:43:12,477
because he loved it and we needed
all the help we could get.
447
00:43:12,477 --> 00:43:15,637
I think he thought it was Act One
of the Revolution.
448
00:43:15,637 --> 00:43:18,217
And Joe Walsh didn't like him? Nah.
449
00:43:19,822 --> 00:43:22,742
Joe was on strike in order
to save the docks, right?
450
00:43:22,742 --> 00:43:29,482
The last thing he needed was some
kid running around winding the lads up to make impossible demands.
451
00:43:29,482 --> 00:43:32,842
He would've gone ballistic
if he'd known about Anita.
452
00:43:32,842 --> 00:43:36,842
Known what? Well, Anita and him had
a bit of a do together, you know?
453
00:43:36,842 --> 00:43:41,622
And Joe didn't know? Like I said,
there'd have been trouble if he had.
454
00:43:41,622 --> 00:43:43,522
Brendan, we'll have to talk to Rose.
455
00:43:43,522 --> 00:43:48,462
She's at home packing. I'll write
the address down for you. Thanks.
456
00:43:48,462 --> 00:43:51,702
You'll have to be quick,
we are catching the evening tide.
457
00:43:52,862 --> 00:43:58,942
(You hope.) McCready told Sandra
that Joe Walsh and Rose were having a bit of a thing.
458
00:43:58,942 --> 00:44:01,422
Christ, I miss the '70s!
459
00:44:01,422 --> 00:44:05,702
Sandra, yeah, we've identified MS.
460
00:44:05,702 --> 00:44:08,542
A guy called Mark Seroyan.
461
00:44:08,542 --> 00:44:13,182
And we've just been told that he
was having a thing with Anita Walsh.
462
00:44:13,182 --> 00:44:19,102
He's in for £20 million by Friday
or he's out. I've got investors fighting for a piece of this stadium.
463
00:44:19,102 --> 00:44:22,562
They're in the office right now.
464
00:44:22,562 --> 00:44:25,142
Well, the ball's in his court.
465
00:44:25,142 --> 00:44:29,282
The Olympics are doing wonders for
the East End, I believe, Mr Seroyan.
466
00:44:29,282 --> 00:44:32,162
Well, if you take the risks,
you deserve the rewards.
467
00:44:32,162 --> 00:44:34,282
The revolution's been postponed,
then?
468
00:44:34,282 --> 00:44:38,062
Capitalism IS revolution.
Marx understood that.
469
00:44:38,062 --> 00:44:41,902
Look at the docklands 30 years ago
and the docklands today.
470
00:44:41,902 --> 00:44:45,662
"All that is solid melts into air."
471
00:44:45,662 --> 00:44:48,142
"All that is holy is profaned."
472
00:44:48,142 --> 00:44:50,742
Communist Manifesto, 1848.
473
00:44:50,742 --> 00:44:52,902
But that's not what we're here about.
474
00:44:52,902 --> 00:44:57,462
You were involved with the
Crane Drivers' Union at the time of Joe Walsh's death.
475
00:44:57,462 --> 00:45:02,562
That's putting it strongly.
I was trying to influence the line the union took,
476
00:45:02,562 --> 00:45:04,902
and quite frankly,
I wasn't very successful.
477
00:45:04,902 --> 00:45:07,642
Which is no bad thing
in the light of history.
478
00:45:07,642 --> 00:45:12,182
We understand there was friction
between you and Joe Walsh. Ha-ha!
479
00:45:12,182 --> 00:45:16,602
At the time, I would have called it,
comradely disagreement.
480
00:45:16,602 --> 00:45:18,842
Anita Walsh.
481
00:45:18,842 --> 00:45:21,022
Ah, Anita.
482
00:45:21,022 --> 00:45:23,782
Hasn't that kid done well?
483
00:45:23,782 --> 00:45:25,822
I think she might be worth
more than me.
484
00:45:25,822 --> 00:45:27,662
You had a relationship with her.
485
00:45:27,662 --> 00:45:30,302
Student holds hands with schoolgirl.
486
00:45:30,302 --> 00:45:32,302
Not what I'd call a relationship.
487
00:45:32,302 --> 00:45:34,582
Where were you
the night Joe Walsh died?
488
00:45:34,582 --> 00:45:36,682
With Anita actually.
489
00:45:36,682 --> 00:45:38,382
I, er...
490
00:45:38,382 --> 00:45:42,422
I dragged her off to an Italian film,
The Organiser.
491
00:45:42,422 --> 00:45:46,222
Marcello Mastroianni
as a 19th-century trade unionist.
492
00:45:46,222 --> 00:45:48,302
We snogged in the back row.
493
00:45:49,882 --> 00:45:51,702
Ask her.
494
00:45:51,702 --> 00:45:53,822
I thought we were totally discreet.
495
00:45:53,822 --> 00:45:57,002
When you're playing away,
someone always clocks it.
496
00:45:57,002 --> 00:46:00,042
So you're confirming that you
had an affair with Joe Walsh?
497
00:46:02,462 --> 00:46:04,922
They say power's an aphrodisiac.
498
00:46:06,602 --> 00:46:08,782
It worked for me.
499
00:46:08,782 --> 00:46:12,042
Joe was a very impressive man.
Did Brendan know?
500
00:46:12,042 --> 00:46:14,842
No. Does he know now?
501
00:46:17,922 --> 00:46:21,442
If it had been anyone else
I would have told him,
502
00:46:21,442 --> 00:46:26,602
and I would have felt better
in my conscience for doing so.
503
00:46:26,602 --> 00:46:28,462
But Brendan worshipped Joe.
504
00:46:29,762 --> 00:46:32,162
He loved him far more
than I ever did.
505
00:46:32,162 --> 00:46:37,222
It would have been like
taking something precious from him.
506
00:46:37,222 --> 00:46:39,982
Well, we're going to have to
put it to Brendan now.
507
00:46:41,422 --> 00:46:44,042
We're looking at motives for murder.
508
00:46:47,342 --> 00:46:49,982
Well, I'll tell him.
509
00:46:51,962 --> 00:46:55,342
No, I'm sorry.
That's not how it works.
510
00:46:55,342 --> 00:47:00,442
Brendan, this is going to be
very difficult for you, but there's no way I can wrap it up.
511
00:47:00,442 --> 00:47:04,762
When did you find out that Rose
and Joe Walsh were having an affair?
512
00:47:04,762 --> 00:47:07,642
You what? Rose confirmed it.
513
00:47:07,642 --> 00:47:11,522
No, you're lying. No, Brendan.
514
00:47:11,522 --> 00:47:13,282
Well, I want to talk to Rose then.
515
00:47:13,282 --> 00:47:17,082
Yes, I can appreciate that, but it's
important that you talk to us first.
516
00:47:17,082 --> 00:47:18,782
This is a murder inquiry.
517
00:47:18,782 --> 00:47:21,342
You...
518
00:47:21,342 --> 00:47:23,342
You can't...
519
00:47:23,342 --> 00:47:26,862
You can't live with somebody
for 30 years and just not know 'em.
520
00:47:26,862 --> 00:47:29,582
That's the question.
Did you know at the time?
521
00:47:29,582 --> 00:47:32,542
Of course not! Or everything
would have been different.
522
00:47:32,542 --> 00:47:34,722
Maybe everything WAS different.
523
00:47:34,722 --> 00:47:41,122
Maybe you've been painting a picture
all these years, protecting the memory of a fallen comrade. No!
524
00:47:41,122 --> 00:47:46,222
Did you kill Joe Walsh? No, no,
I didn't know anything about this.
525
00:47:46,222 --> 00:47:50,302
You two have just blown
my whole world apart!
526
00:47:55,022 --> 00:47:58,422
In your last interview, you said
that on the night Joe Walsh died,
527
00:47:58,422 --> 00:48:02,902
you left him in the office
while you went off to a meeting. Who was that meeting with?
528
00:48:02,902 --> 00:48:10,042
Well, we were talking to the miners
and the railwaymen's union about them coming out in sympathy.
529
00:48:10,042 --> 00:48:11,722
It all had to be done on the quiet,
530
00:48:11,722 --> 00:48:15,882
you know, because we just assumed
that the union was being spied on.
531
00:48:15,882 --> 00:48:21,122
And can anyone you met confirm this?
Yeah, um...
532
00:48:21,122 --> 00:48:23,362
well, er...
533
00:48:23,362 --> 00:48:28,762
We are talking about the leadership
of these unions 30 years ago.
534
00:48:28,762 --> 00:48:30,342
They're all dead.
535
00:48:30,342 --> 00:48:36,102
Yeah. Brendan, your alibi is
that you had a secret meeting with people who are no longer with us.
536
00:48:36,102 --> 00:48:38,042
My alibi?
537
00:48:38,829 --> 00:48:41,229
Mark Seroyan?
Where did you drag him up from?
538
00:48:41,229 --> 00:48:44,529
He says you were at the pictures
together on the night your father died.
539
00:48:45,649 --> 00:48:51,829
It's not something
you're likely to forget, is it? So you can confirm that? Sure.
540
00:48:51,829 --> 00:48:58,449
I spent the entire evening watching
heroic workers battling against the repressive state apparatus,
541
00:48:58,449 --> 00:49:03,849
as if I didn't get enough of that at
home, whilst being groped by a spotty student who smelt of baked beans.
542
00:49:03,849 --> 00:49:07,512
The first in a long line
of romantic disappointments.
543
00:49:07,513 --> 00:49:12,333
Brendan was miles away, the night
Joe died. I made sure of that...
544
00:49:12,333 --> 00:49:15,313
because Joe and I were together.
545
00:49:15,313 --> 00:49:18,073
Where was this?
546
00:49:18,073 --> 00:49:21,613
In his office.
That's where we always met.
547
00:49:22,993 --> 00:49:24,913
So you were together?
548
00:49:24,913 --> 00:49:28,773
Yes. And the doorbell rang,
549
00:49:28,773 --> 00:49:31,173
but we ignored it.
550
00:49:31,173 --> 00:49:36,713
And it kept on ringing,
then there was banging on the door and it was this young lad, Mark.
551
00:49:36,713 --> 00:49:38,493
They used to call him Trotsky.
552
00:49:38,493 --> 00:49:44,133
Joe said I should go but I wanted to
know what was going on, so I stayed.
553
00:49:44,133 --> 00:49:45,793
And Mark seemed...
554
00:49:45,793 --> 00:49:47,793
very scared.
555
00:49:47,793 --> 00:49:52,133
He wanted to talk to Joe
about Anita.
556
00:49:52,133 --> 00:49:55,273
Apparently, they'd been having
a relationship.
557
00:49:55,273 --> 00:49:58,753
I'm not your comrade,
you pathetic little...!
558
00:49:58,753 --> 00:50:01,833
You're telling me you've been
sniffing round my daughter?
559
00:50:01,833 --> 00:50:03,653
Joe was really losing it.
560
00:50:03,653 --> 00:50:07,153
So what did you do then? I was afraid
something awful might happen.
561
00:50:07,153 --> 00:50:08,733
Joe had a terrible temper.
562
00:50:10,533 --> 00:50:12,613
Come on, you little toe rag!
563
00:50:12,613 --> 00:50:15,313
And I kept thinking
I should do something.
564
00:50:15,313 --> 00:50:19,493
And then Anita suddenly
turned up out of nowhere.
565
00:50:19,493 --> 00:50:23,693
Dad, for God's sake,
you're killing him! Get off!
566
00:50:25,033 --> 00:50:26,093
Get him off me!
567
00:50:29,933 --> 00:50:31,393
And he goes down.
568
00:50:33,833 --> 00:50:36,573
Dad, Dad, please!
569
00:50:37,893 --> 00:50:39,293
I've killed him!
570
00:50:39,293 --> 00:50:43,553
And then, the...
two of them are talking.
571
00:50:43,553 --> 00:50:47,593
Anita, please, leave this with me.
I've killed him!
572
00:50:47,593 --> 00:50:50,153
Come here, just go. Go!
573
00:50:50,153 --> 00:50:52,913
You were never here, understand?
574
00:50:52,913 --> 00:50:54,453
Just go, go!
575
00:50:56,973 --> 00:50:59,453
Anita ran off and so did I.
576
00:50:59,453 --> 00:51:02,573
But you never did anything
or told anyone?
577
00:51:02,573 --> 00:51:04,913
He was dead.
578
00:51:04,913 --> 00:51:06,653
What good could I have done?
579
00:51:06,653 --> 00:51:10,493
And think of the harm.
Harm to Brendan, harm to Anita.
580
00:51:10,493 --> 00:51:14,573
Think about it. You should have
gone to the police, Rose.
581
00:51:14,573 --> 00:51:19,853
Don't you think I've questioned
what I did every single day of my life for the last 30 years?
582
00:51:28,393 --> 00:51:31,633
OK, Jack. Yeah, thanks, bye.
583
00:51:31,633 --> 00:51:36,493
I'm sorry, Anita,
but I'm going to have to ask you to accompany us to the station.
584
00:51:36,493 --> 00:51:38,033
What?
585
00:51:38,033 --> 00:51:43,733
I'm arresting you on suspicion
of murdering Joseph Walsh. You do not have to say anything...
586
00:51:43,733 --> 00:51:48,993
I know that by heart.
I've written it enough times. You could make a macro of it.
587
00:51:48,993 --> 00:51:52,453
Then you'd only have to hit
the one key. Let's go.
588
00:51:54,793 --> 00:52:00,053
A witness puts you on the quayside
with Walsh, unconscious, perhaps dead.
589
00:52:00,053 --> 00:52:01,833
Did you put him in the river?
590
00:52:01,833 --> 00:52:05,433
That's not quite how it was.
591
00:52:07,013 --> 00:52:09,733
After Anita went, I...
592
00:52:09,733 --> 00:52:11,933
I threw the pipe
593
00:52:11,933 --> 00:52:13,833
into the river.
594
00:52:13,833 --> 00:52:18,753
I thought, I don't know,
fingerprints, evidence, I wanted to confuse things.
595
00:52:18,753 --> 00:52:21,773
I needed to make it
look like an accident,
596
00:52:21,773 --> 00:52:25,673
so I decided to pull Joe's body...
597
00:52:25,673 --> 00:52:27,993
into the water too.
598
00:52:43,053 --> 00:52:44,193
Come on, you little...!
599
00:52:53,873 --> 00:52:55,493
It was an accident.
600
00:52:55,493 --> 00:52:57,753
He lost his balance.
601
00:53:00,873 --> 00:53:04,433
He never came up again.
Did Anita know about this?
602
00:53:06,573 --> 00:53:06,673
I only spoke to her the once...
603
00:53:06,673 --> 00:53:10,393
to make sure we were on the same
page about where we were that night.
604
00:53:15,153 --> 00:53:19,293
I wanted to tell her what happened,
try to explain, but...
605
00:53:19,293 --> 00:53:21,473
she was so angry with me.
606
00:53:21,473 --> 00:53:23,953
You didn't tell her
he wasn't already dead?
607
00:53:23,953 --> 00:53:25,433
I couldn't.
608
00:53:27,173 --> 00:53:30,153
How could I tell her what I'd done?
609
00:53:30,153 --> 00:53:31,953
We didn't speak again.
610
00:53:34,073 --> 00:53:36,353
You mean I didn't kill him?
611
00:53:36,353 --> 00:53:40,053
No. He was alive
when you left the scene.
612
00:53:41,813 --> 00:53:46,293
Whether the injury was ultimately
the cause of death, I can't decide on that,
613
00:53:46,293 --> 00:53:49,713
but we'll submit a report
to the Crown Prosecution Service,
614
00:53:49,713 --> 00:53:53,133
and then they'll decide
who gets charged with what.
615
00:53:54,713 --> 00:53:57,493
A 30-year nightmare.
616
00:54:57,408 --> 00:54:59,708
First thing this morning.
617
00:54:59,708 --> 00:55:02,528
It's a result,
but not the one I expected.
618
00:55:02,528 --> 00:55:04,368
Yes, well...
619
00:55:04,368 --> 00:55:07,128
you look after yourself, Frank.
620
00:55:09,068 --> 00:55:10,508
Jack...
621
00:55:13,148 --> 00:55:17,888
..I never told you...
how sorry I was about...Mary.
622
00:55:17,888 --> 00:55:20,088
Yeah, well, you don't need to.
623
00:55:20,088 --> 00:55:23,768
I was more than sorry, Jack.
I was heartbroken.
624
00:55:26,528 --> 00:55:28,748
I can say it now.
625
00:55:28,748 --> 00:55:30,728
I was in love with her.
626
00:55:30,728 --> 00:55:33,288
Ever and always.
627
00:55:33,288 --> 00:55:37,628
Look, you don't have to...
I do, I need to tell you.
628
00:55:38,808 --> 00:55:41,728
I tried to take her from you.
629
00:55:41,728 --> 00:55:43,828
Bloody hopeless.
630
00:55:43,828 --> 00:55:47,028
She did nothing wrong,
it was all on my side.
631
00:55:47,028 --> 00:55:51,388
She kept it a secret
because of our friendship.
632
00:55:52,448 --> 00:55:54,708
Not the strike, then? Nah.
633
00:55:56,308 --> 00:56:01,168
20 years of having the world's
happiest couple shoved in my face,
634
00:56:01,168 --> 00:56:03,508
I couldn't take it any more.
635
00:56:16,563 --> 00:56:19,183
She was...
Yes.
636
00:56:21,083 --> 00:56:23,803
Best not leave it so long
next time, eh, Jack?
637
00:56:25,683 --> 00:56:27,163
Best not.
638
00:56:34,043 --> 00:56:37,823
So, I suppose you think you're
a bit of a dark horse, eh, Mary?
639
00:56:39,403 --> 00:56:41,683
Well, actually, I knew all along.
640
00:56:41,683 --> 00:56:43,643
I'm a detective, remember?
641
00:56:43,643 --> 00:56:46,303
You didn't deceive me.
642
00:56:46,303 --> 00:56:50,743
So, you've no secrets,
no reason to feel guilty.
643
00:56:52,663 --> 00:56:55,683
You just sleep easy, eh?
644
00:56:55,683 --> 00:56:57,143
Good night, love.
