Original subtitles

My son Jason turned 14 today.

His father is Kevin Russell.

Kevin has been in prison for all of Jason's life.

Did you murder Linda Simms? No I did not.

You hit Linda with a shovel. What part of her body?

She's showing Kevin what to say...

Her head. ..pointing to the answers.

She was first buried on - or near - an air force base.

And then she was moved. Why?

It is our majority opinion that the conviction of Mr Russell is unsafe.

You've seen what's been happening over here?

Don't worry about Russell. I used the photographs.

Why did you stop me? It's the company you keep.

What do you mean the company I keep?

Your uncle Yusef is not making life easy for me.

Or for his wife.

I was thrown out of my flat. I am forbidden to go to my husband.

Look they suspect anyone with ties to Syria that's all.

You let a terrorist's wife live in your home

and you set a murderer free.

You play with fire.

# Way down in the water

# Way down in the hole

# Far away from any soul...

'Where there is discord may we bring harmony

and where there is despair may we bring hope.'

# I'm coming back from the fire

'Put your trust in us -

we shall repay that trust

for you.'

# Coming back from the fire not burning no

Turn it. Spin it.

Spin the camera!

Spin the camera!

(CROWD CHANTING)

(CHANTING) Kevin Russell guilty guilty guilty!

(CHANTING CONTINUES)

(SOFTLY SINGS LULLABY)

# We are strong

That was me

when I was young.

How could I let you go?

(THUD OF CAR DOOR)

Look there's Mummy.

(PHONE RINGS)

One of the staff must have recognised Kevin called the press.

Or called them Linda's dad and uncle. Unbelievable!

Why aren't the police doing anything?

You kidding? They're loving it.

(KNOCKING)

Hi Annie. Oh Kevin.

How are you doing? Doing?

I wish I was back inside.

(SHOUTING AND GLASS SMASHING)

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

You have to move. But we've paid for the room.

Yeah in the name of David Martin.

If I'd known it was him I'd never have let him in. You have to go.

(GLASS SHATTERS) Please.

Before that lot does any serious damage.

But where can I go?

(ANGRY SHOUTING)

CROWD: Kevin Russell guilty guilty guilty!

(CHANTING CONTINUES)

OK.

Kevin this is Dominic. There he is!

Get in! Get in! Come on! Get in!

Kevin get in the car! Get in quick. Lock the door!

You're a murderer!

Dom! Dom get going!

Get him out of the car! (HORN)

I can't bloody go! We're coming Russell!

Emma don't!

You get the fuck away from him!

Get away! Get out of the way you stupid cow!

Agh! Get in get in!

Dom! Let's go.

OK go! Open it! Open it right now!

What is this?

What are you doing here?

What is this bloody shambles?

Are we Chelsea fans?

Is this who we are?

I see people I know people I'm surprised to see here.

Look I understand that you're angry. Too right.

I'm angry too.

But this isn't how we express ourselves!

Who is this guy? It's Matthew Wild the local MP.

Not scaring decent people damaging property.

Thank Christ he turned up.

Let that man leave unharmed.

And the police have promised me that no-one here will be charged tonight.

No-one.

Come on now it's late.

Let's go home.

Charlie leave it. Let's go home. Phil...

You OK?

Phil we'll talk. Come on.

Thank you Mr Wild. No problem. Good night.

TV: The leadership contest is heating up.

'Cromarty's still ahead in the polls

but outsider Matthew Wild is eating into his lead.

From what I'm seeing on Twitter

Wild enhanced his Action Man image...'

Hi. Were you the hero?

Yep. I told them all to jolly well behave themselves and go home to bed.

And um they did. (CHUCKLES)

Thanks.

What are you going to say to him?

I don't know. I might just knock his head off.

Annie he's...

Part of a mob.

Attacking his own father. Don't try to defend him.

(DOOR SHUTS)

Where've you been? Nowhere.

Jason I saw you!

Then why did you ask?

But how could you?

Jason!

Who's the bloke?

Dominic Truelove an ex-copper.

Oh. Are they er...?

Unlikely.

He's gay. Oh.

The balls on that woman.

Seems pretty dedicated.

To her giant ego.

Is SO15 watching the house?

Yeah Banville's got Yousef Attar's wife holed up in there.

Why don't you pull her in?

No grounds. I need more help from GCHQ.

This is your case now so watch her.

Russell's lawyer at trial was a joke. Banville's not.

She'll spot any mistake and make the whole case turn on it.

There's a sleeping bag and a pillow.

Oh Jesus!

Kevin this is Steve my boyfriend.

Steve this is... Yeah yeah I know.

Peace mate.

(WATER TRICKLES)

Well now you know where the bathroom is.

Kevin I've heard from the police that there are photos of Linda

nude photos

and that you know about them.

No. It's the police lying again innit?

They're bloody desperate.

Emma who is that man?

Er Kevin Russell.

He'll be staying here for a while.

Kevin Russell the murderer?

No.

Kevin's innocent.

That's why they let him out of prison.

So you got him out.

Well done you.

Miriam who were you meeting outside earlier this evening?

My cousin.

He brought me some clothes for Karim.

Is that OK? Yeah it's OK.

Just be careful.

I told you the police are probably watching the house.

If they catch you communicating with Yusef...

I don't know where he is!

..or any of his associates

they could charge you with failure to disclose relevant information

and they could arrest you Miriam and you could lose Karim.

Just be careful.

I will.

I won't let them take Karim.

(SOBS)

So these are the interviews with the man who took the photos.

So the police just gave these to us?

Without a fight?

Yep. The new guy running the case.

Do you think he's playing games?

'DCI Nick Staines Islington Police Station 22nd of April 2017 8:35am.

With me are Tony Pullings...'

The weasel journalist the one taking pictures of us.

'..Janice Long of Murray Jones Solicitors.'

'I want it on record that my client has come forward of his own accord

to assist the police despite the legal risk to himself.'

'So Mr Pullings.

Tony.

When did you approach Linda Simms?'

'I didn't.

She approached me.

She called me. She said she wanted some glamour shots.

She wanted to be a Page Three girl.'

'She was 15. That's suborning a minor.'

'My client had no idea Linda was 15.'

'Look I know I should've checked.

And that's why I kept quiet about it for so long. I felt guilty.'

'So a 15-year-old schoolgirl comes to you

and she says she wants some porn pics.'

'It's not porn. That's glamour.'

'So you make her undress in the middle of winter

then you take her into the school and you make her undress some more.

Did you have sex with her?' 'No!'

'How did you get into the school?'

'The caretaker gave me the key.'

'The caretaker?'

'Yeah Kevin Russell.'

'He just gave it to you?'

'No I paid him.'

'Paid him what?'

'Ten quid.

And a set of Linda's photos.'

No no no no no no.

Ms Banville? I'm Nick Staines. I hear you have some questions about Tony Pullings. We can speak in my office.

Have you charged him with sexual offences against a minor

or did you make a deal with him so he could slide out of that?

Has he photographed any other underage girls?

And is he being interviewed as a suspect in the Linda Simms murder?

Because he should be.

OK. He was questioned in 2003. Alibi was sound.

His case is being sent to the Crown Prosecution Service. We've done no deal.

We've agreed to limit our questions to the Linda Simms inquiry in exchange for his cooperation.

What about the coincidence of the little shit crawling out of the woodwork now?

No coincidence. He saw a miscarriage of justice

felt it was his duty to report it.

Oh don't make me laugh. Something's going on here.

I'm being fucked in the arse. Well not by me.

Perhaps by your client.

Did he tell you Pullings gave him pornographic photographs?

Pullings saying something is no proof.

DCS Greenwood when she searched Kevin's house

found burned photographs.

The images couldn't be reconstituted at the time

but technology's moved on hasn't it?

In other words still no proof.

I'm applying for an exhumation order.

What for Linda?

But you got the autopsy report the forensics.

I'm having all forensics re-examined by an independent lab

not one that's owned by ex-policemen.

I want that body.

Heather. You look well.

What a happy marriage does for a girl.

Emma Banville. What do you have?

Well more than I expected.

She's been a person of interest for MI5 and 6 for years.

Started here Cambridge. Student radical protesting everything

from American nukes to council house sales.

Even got herself arrested a few times.

How did it start? Her family?

No they're good people.

Looks like someone got to her when she arrived here.

Are 5 and 6 looking at her now?

More SO15 Counter Terrorism Command

in the person ironically of their number two Olivia Greenwood.

That is ironic. What's the case?

Banville represents a British doctor of Syrian descent

Yusef Attar suspected of working for ISIS.

Excellent. Thank you.

What's this got to do with Russell?

Really?

I thought they made you Master of Beaumont or whatever you are

because of your brilliant mind.

(BELL CHIMES)

(RINGING TONE) (RECEIVER CLICKS)

Hi this is Mary. Is John there?

(LINE GOES DEAD)

(PHONE RINGS)

Hi can you put me through to our liaison at Fort Meade?

I need a target profile on a UK national.

Em?

Why are you so sad?

No it's work. It's going badly.

But it's more you.

I don't want to lose you.

I'm so proud of you.

So proud.

(RINGING TONE)

Hello Delilah. It's Emma.

'Look something's come up though hardly in happy circumstances.'

What do you mean?

A car crash mother killed but the child survived unharmed.

Oh God. How old? 'He's five.

The mother's a single parent.'

It's fostering not adopting while we try to trace the mother's family.

The answer's yes yes of course.

'We'll have to see if you and the boy...'

Get on bond. 'Talk to Steve.'

I'll try and set up a meeting as soon as possible.

Thank you.

So what Tony Pullings is saying is that he paid you

to get into the school to shoot these

And then he gave you copies of them.

No.

I've never seen them before.

The police are also saying they found burnt photos in your flat

from 2003.

Well burnt photos of what?

They don't know but they're looking into it.

So if you've got anything to tell me Kevin now's the time.

He had the photos. Shut up Annie.

I found 'em. I burned 'em. I'm not sorry.

She was a little slut.

Look at her. She's ready to do that why not the other?

But with who?

Annie if you know anything about Linda you must tell me.

Because these photos they hurt Kevin.

What's wrong with having photos? It don't mean I touched her.

God you are so bloody thick.

I can't do this any more. I'm sorry.

I've got two kids of my own not just his.

Even Derek's saying enough is enough.

I'm sorry. Annie!

Cops manage to recover images from those burnt pics you're toast.

Prosecution gets either of them on the stand you're toast.

I hope we're not bloody wrong about him Em.

What's that? Tits.

No that! Looks like a plane.

Yeah but it's not just a plane it's an F-16.

It's a US Air Force fighter.

Why do you stick that on your bra? She sending a message to someone?

Maybe it's just a piece of jewellery.

Since when do you wear jewellery on a bra?

I know these photographs are upsetting

but I must ask you to look at them.

It's important for Linda not just for my client.

We all need to know the truth.

You two again?

(SIGHS)

Would you look at this one? So you carry these round?

You show my kid round like she's a piece of meat.

No. These photos remain private.

That's the agreement we made with the police.

Please. (SIGHS)

This is a tie pin of an F-16. It's an American fighter.

Now there was an American squadron based here at Crawbury

at the time when Linda...

Do you think it's possible that she knew anyone at the base?

A pilot? A mechanic? Because the photo's very intimate.

And the fact that she put a tie pin on her bra...

You're asking if my 15-year-old daughter was sleeping with a Yank?

I'm asking if she knew someone

who could have given her a tie pin as a memento.

So all that stuff what you're saying I got that

because I got screwed too?

Or maybe my wife.

So you don't know of any relationship...

She was 15!

She grew up surrounded by this stuff. It means nothing.

No I'm sorry it does mean something.

This photo proves there was at least one other predator in Linda's life.

The man who took this Tony Pullings did she ever mention him?

No.

Are you sure? Because he was the man taking photos of us at the school.

She didn't mention him? No.

Did she ever mention anyone pestering her?

Yeah. Kevin Russell.

The man who murdered her.

Are you done?

There's one more thing I need to ask.

And that's permission to exhume Linda's body.

Ohh!

Now if you were brave enough to give me this permission

I wouldn't have to go through the courts.

You'd avoid all the publicity that it would involve.

It's important. We all need to know what happened with Linda.

It might give you closure.

So what do you say?

Get off her! Get off her!

Beth!

(GROANS)

(PLANE PASSES LOW OVERHEAD)

I suppose you're gonna say it serves me right.

Serves you right.

She was killed somewhere near here.

Buried alive.

Here.

The family know more than they're saying. They must.

A teenager sticks something on her bra - doesn't have to mean anything.

Yeah but it could mean everything.

It was February 2003 and the Americans were here.

They were going to war. We were all going to war.

(PLANE PASSES LOW OVERHEAD)

Olivia Greenwood? Heather Myles.

I've heard so many great things about you.

I was just talking to my boys very confused by time zones.

That's Josh that's Isaac.

I don't care. OK.

I was asked to meet you. Here I am.

So what do you want?

Emma Banville.

What about Banville?

She's getting in the way. In whose way? In what context?

Yusef Attar Miriam Attar.

My colleagues wanna talk to Miriam but they can't.

I understand you can't either.

What's that got to do with you?

I can help you get to Miriam.

I can access communications you can't.

Like what?

For one I can get you international.

For two I bet you only see metadata. I can get you content.

You'll have our ears over the Middle East.

That'll give you cause to move on Miriam

and there's nothing Banville can do about it.

Banville knows the rules.

She plays by the rules.

Now you try a short cut

she'll sniff it out and make you rue the day.

So no.

No thanks.

(APPLAUSE)

Emma!

I am so sorry Zeinab.

No really. You managed to miss the whole thing.

Look I would have been cross but we found a replacement.

Matthew Wild turned up.

Made a splendid speech off the cuff.

It's true what they're saying - he could be the next Prime Minister.

Could you introduce me to him Zei?

Matthew meet my dear friend Emma Banville.

The lady who's late for her own party.

Hi thank you so much for covering. I'm sorry I missed your speech.

I'm sorry I missed yours.

Could I borrow you just for a moment? Yeah of course.

Wow. She really did hit you.

Yeah that's er that's actually why I'm here.

You see Charlie Simms called.

He's worried you'll press charges. But you won't will you?

Oh no. No.

Because that would hurt your case more than you're hurting it already.

What you're putting that family through it beggars belief.

Sorry I didn't know you knew them.

Well they're my constituents.

Charlie Simms was a union organiser.

I'd never have got elected without him.

So...what's up?

I believe that the wrong man Kevin Russell

who's also one of your constituents

was convicted for Linda's murder.

I was hoping that you could persuade Linda's family

that exhuming Linda would be the quickest way of finding the truth.

The truth?

Yes that Kevin didn't do it

and that the real killer is still out there.

You know I can see that you might have a faint chance

of getting a court to grant you an exhumation order

but not with my help.

Forget that I could never look Beth or Charlie in the eye again

I actually think it's wrong and shame on you for even thinking it.

Whoo! Hey!

Kevin was just playing with Karim.

So I see.

They have so much fun.

It's probably his bedtime anyway.

Yes.

Thank you Kevin.

What happened to your face?

Beth Simms punched me.

(LAUGHS)

Oh sorry. Why were you talking to her?

Because I'm trying to keep you out of prison Kevin.

I didn't do it you know?

Yeah.

But at the moment all the evidence suggests otherwise.

Oh-ho-ho-ho!

What am I gonna do with you?

Delilah called.

She wants to see us tomorrow.

So she's serious.

A real live kid in this madhouse. Poor sod.

It won't be mad for too long. Shelter in Hounslow say

they can give Miriam a place by the end of the week

and I'm going to ask Father Joe if he'll put Kevin up.

He'll miss the boy. He's good with him you know?

Yeah well technically he's breaking his terms of bail

by being here with you a felon.

Me?! I'm not the one getting into punch-ups.

You're going to have to start acting like a normal person.

Plus cut that out. Plus start having meals at meal times

instead of just alcohol and nicotine.

Yeah OK OK OK.

We're going to make it work Steve.

You me and the boy.

And the babysitter Kevin Russell. (LAUGHS)

(MUFFLED RADIO COMMUNICATION)

We still haven't been able to trace the mother's family.

Can I?

(BOY GIGGLES)

I'm fine thanks.

(GIGGLES)

Oops.

Emma. Emma.

Emma.

Timothy. I like that name.

(GIGGLES)

Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Obviously we still have to do the home visits. Whatever you need.

You're not going to like this.

It came from the police.

That nice detective Nick Staines.

He trawled through all the news footage from 2003 and found this.

There. Kevin Russell outside his workshop.

When is this? When they found Linda?

No. It's the day after Linda was reported missing.

The first place they searched was the school and the school grounds.

Kevin helped them. It gives the prosecution

a plausible theory why Kevin re-buried Linda's body.

He moved her back to a place he knew had been searched.

What chance of the police searching it again?

It's just a theory.

Blows a big hole in your theory.

This plus the photos of Linda

plus the family refusing the exhumation

which you need to prove your forensic anomalies

it's not a case you'll win.

You should look at making a deal.

No. I'm gonna take the gloves off.

I'm leaking these. Emma this isn't right.

What and letting our client get screwed is?

I do this it puts a spotlight on Tony Pullings

and it'll panic him and whoever's handling him.

You really think that? You think Tony came forward

risked prosecution because he's a nice guy?

Why not? Because it's crap!

Because there's something else going on here.

There's a police cover-up or a paedophile ring

or they're protecting someone on the American base.

You sound completely nuts.

Then I must be on to something.

Let's go Dom.

When this kicks off I need you to be watching Pullings.

(PHONE RINGS)

Yes? 'You should turn on your TV.'

What is it sir? 'You overplayed your hand.

You need to move Pullings right now.'

'..nude photographs of the murdered teenager Linda Simms.

Also revealed is the identity of the man who allegedly took the photos Tony Pullings.'

(PHONE RINGS) Hello.

HEATHER: 'You're blown. I'm moving you now somewhere safe.'

Banville's guy's already outside.

'Don't worry about him. Five minutes.'

(REPORTERS CLAMOUR)

What does it mean for Kevin Russell?

The police are going to have to look much more carefully

at all the circumstances of Linda's death.

Who leaked the photos? 'The key question is -

where have the photos been all this time?

What did the police know about it?'

'You think it's a cover-up?' 'I don't want to speculate.

But I do want to appeal to anyone who knows anything

about the sort of photoshoots that Linda had to do.

Please contact me. I'm Emma...'

Jesus Christ!

Any cameras on this street?

What?

Oh I am so sorry.

Agh! Oh God no sorry!

I'm such an idiot. I'm sorry. It's OK.

At least you weren't nuts.

There is something going on.

The people who did this were pros.

It's a classic counter-surveillance move - take out the watcher.

AND they got Pullings.

And who are they? I dunno.

I want what you have on Miriam Attar.

What changed your mind?

Banville stopped playing by the rules.

Really? What did she do?

None of your business.

Is it about the photos of the girl?

Did Banville leak them? None of your business.

So give me what you have on Miriam Attar or get out.

There are calls from overseas Lebanon and Syria

going to a series of numbers my friends don't recognise.

They believe those numbers are conduits

through which Yusef Attar is fundraising and recruiting in the UK.

These numbers where are they?

Triangulation places them all in a quiet little street in London N16.

Banville.

So in addition to leaking nude photos of a murdered teenager to the press

she allows a terrorist recruiting network to be run out of her home.

How long will you let that go on?

DOM: Did you get a result? Did anyone come forward?

Any other girls? No.

I played dirty - I exposed that poor girl and I got nothing.

Nothing.

Mike Leila will be transcribing your Arabic lines.

Arabic lines from where?

Turkey Jordan Lebanon Syria.

Cool. Anyone from my list or... Just Ruby.

Excuse me.

Straight flush.

I got you mate. You lucky bugger.

There you go - four Hobnobs and a Jaffa Cake. Yeah.

Who's in the house? Attar

Banville's boyfriend Kevin Russell.

Well well. What do we need for a go?

Evidence of communication with terrorists and terrorist suspects.

Call coming in. Landline.

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello?

Steve there's a call.

She says she's from the adoption agency. Oh God.

Hold that thought Kevin.

Who is getting adopted? You're not talking about Karim?

Hello? Delilah. Yeah what's up?

(SIGHS)

Yeah I'll let Emma know.

Thanks yeah. Bye.

What's happening? You're not going to have Karim taken away?

Why would we wanna do that?

You're not touching them cards are you?

No mate. I won!

(RINGING TONE)

MIRIAM: 'Hello? Hello?'

(MAN ANSWERS)

(MIRIAM REPLIES)

(MOBILE RINGS)

Yes. Yes it is.

Thank you. A call's being made to a known ISIS number in Raqqa.

Bravo Charlie this is Alpha. We are go.

'Charlie team on the move.' 'On the move.'

'Bravo team on the move.' 'Copy that.'

'Approaching target.

Bravo team in position.'

'Charlie team in position.'

'Bravo team hold.'

'Holding.'

'This is Alpha we are go. Go go go!'

'Bravo team on the move.' 'Alpha team we are go.'

Armed police! Get down on the floor!

Get down! Armed police!

(SHOUTING)

Who's that? It's Banville.

(CHILD SCREAMS) What the hell is going on in here?

Let go of her! No Kevin don't!

Give her back her kid! Agh! No!

Get them out of here. Karim!

You have no right to be in here! A serious crime was taking place.

What crime? You got all the phones?

You have no right to take that. I am going to sue every one of you!

Take her out. Take your hands off of me!

Remember you are my lawyer.

Em?

You OK?

Er yeah.

Delilah called.

She said that the local authority are OK with us to foster...

..depending on a home visit.

Which this might...

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm going to go get some fresh air.

Yeah.

OK wrap it up.

(SIREN)

(PHONE RINGS)

Emma Banville. Hello?

WOMAN: 'I saw you on TV.'

OK.

Can I help you?

'It's about that Tony Pullings.'

Why aren't we getting this? Because you said to wrap it up.

Well unwrap it!

Did you know him?

'Yeah. He photographed me.'

How old were you?

'15.'

Did you know Linda Simms?

Did you know about her? 'Yeah.'

(CRACKLING)

Will you meet me?

Yeah.
