" And how did it happen?" " They beat me up." "They made me go and stand against the wall. like this. with my arms outstretched." "and my legs stretched out behind me." "And they kept me like this for ages." "for over 30 hours or something like that." "And if I tried to relax or lower my arms. they hit me." "And then they gave me the crab treatment." " Were you arrested on Section 1 2?" " Yeah." "OK." "Good." "D'you have any idea why?" "Well. sort of..." "like most of my mates." "we're accused of belonging to the Ira." " The Ira." " He wasn't. so they let him go." "Could you demonstrate this crab treatment to us?" "Yeah." "One of them grabbed me. you know." "with me arms at the back here." "while his mate punched me in the stomach." "He punched me and punched me and someone kept asking me questions." "Asked me more questions and they punched me again." "OK?" " You all right?" " Yeah." "Jim. why don't you tell them what happened to you?" "I was arrested the week before Michael and taken to Castlereagh." "And then they threw me into a cell for about four hours." "They took me out. brought me up to what they call an interview room." "and two cops were sitting there with me." "One of the cops asked me my name." "I never told him my name." "If they didn't know my name." "they wouldn't have arrested me." "At once. as soon as I told him my name." "all four cops come rushing into the room." "took me off the chair and took me by the arms and legs and held me over a table." "Then one of them put a towel round my face." "He was holding it at the back of my neck." "And another one poured water over my nose and mouth." "It was going up my nose and into my throat and giving me a drowning feeling." "Sullivan." "Get the bastard!" "I don't believe it." " Tribal rites." " lt's frightening." "Can I take you onto the question of the treatment of prisoners and the question of interrogation techniques?" "The press release suggests allegations of ill-treatment have reduced since 1 978." "But have you formed a view as to whether these forms of ill-treatment are fair." "and what evidence do you have?" "Not to be too dramatic. but these are all statements of alleged maltreatment that we have collected over our time here." "And. um..." "That one?" ""Punching and kicking the plaintiff."" ""Causing. requiring. permitting plaintiff to lie on the floor of an interview room."" ""Causing. requiring. permitting plaintiff to remove his coat in the interview room."" ""Punching the plaintiff in the abdominal area."" ""Banging the plaintiff's head off the wall of the interview room."" ""Standing on the plaintiff's shoulders. stomach. ankles. chest."" ""Squeezing the plaintiff's neck." "the plaintiff's testicles."" ""Causing. requiring. permitting the plaintiff to be spread-eagled..."" "Spread-eagled." ""..between three members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary." "while one kicked him with his heel in the area of the abdomen and ribs..."" "Et cetera. et cetera. et cetera." "But these are unconfirmed allegations for which there is no outside evidence?" " Just allegations from a group of people?" " The evidence is corroborated." "is it a war situation or not?" "If it's a war situation. to solve that war situation you have to negotiate." "and so to accept that there are two sides putting around a table to negotiate." "And that the British government doesn't accept." "Does the report deal with the shoot-to-kill policy operating here in the Six Counties?" "Allegations of a shoot-to-kill policy carried out by the RUC." "UDR and the British army does form part of our report. yes." " D'you have any figures?" " Uh. yes. ln the period of 1 969 to 1 980." "the evidence shows that at least 1 30 people were killed by the security forces." "And half of those deaths were of civilians that had no connection with paramilitary activities at all." "Given the fact that there is a state of armed insurrection in Northern lreland." "do you not concede the government has every right to take whatever measure it deems necessary to stem this insurrection?" "Britain is recognised the world over as a democratic state." "We will present our report based on the documented evidence." "and hopefully the British government will respond." "I'm sure they will." "So. thank you." "That's all we have time for." "Flying out tomorrow." "Thank you." "Hi. I'm Teresa Doyle." "Republican News." " Excuse me?" " Republican News." "You know the shoot-to-kill?" "It happens all the time." " l could show you a photograph." " Of what?" " Of an execution." " You have that with you?" "It's not the sort of thing you carry around the streets of Belfast in your bag." " But I could get it to you." " l'm sorry." "Our investigation's concluded." " So you're not interested?" " No. we're not here to be used." "Well. maybe that's all you're here for." "Paul?" "Paul?" " ls that the tape from yesterday?" " Yeah." "I'm glad we're leaving tomorrow." "Belfast reminds me of Chile." "There's no comparison." "How can you say that?" "It's the way it feels - killings. torture. intrigue." "A reality check." "What happened in Chile can't happen here." " Let's eat." " Yeah." " You got any money?" " Yes. I've got money." "Oh. good!" " Good night." "See you tomorrow." " Any messages for 538?" "Tough day." "Good night." "Can you believe he turned around and waved?" " Do you know him?" " l don't know." "Thought I did." " No messages." " OK." "Thanks." "Yes?" "Uh." "Harris?" "l. uh. listened to your tape." " Have you cone to a decision?" " l don't know." "We must talk." "They saw us together." " How do you know?" " Well. after I left you. I was followed." "So you're under surveillance." "I don't think this is something I should get involved in. but I'll tell you what I can do." "I can turn the tape over to whatever authorities..." "No, no, that would be crazy." "We must... meet." " Where?" " Near Dungannon." "Now." " lt's less than an hour's drive away." " Look, I got a plane to catch." "This won't take long." "Mr Sullivan?" " Where's Harris?" " Down the road waiting on you." "I'm here to take you to him." "You can leave your car here." "We'll go in mine." " My car's OK here?" " lt's quite safe." "By the way. my name's Frank Molloy." " Did you bring the tape?" " Yeah." "1 169." "Sorry?" "800 years." "That's how long we've been fighting for independence." "Sword. famine." "burning. hanging." "shooting. transportation." "We've had it all." "Who's Harris?" "Oh. it's better he tells you himself." "There's a car behind us." " ls it following us?" " We'll soon find out." "There's something wrong here." "Something wrong." "Get down!" "Get down!" " Miss Ingrid Jessner?" " Yes." "I'm afraid we've got some rather serious news for you." " May we come in?" " Well. what is it?" "It's about Mr Sullivan." "He's been involved in a rather serious incident." "..nen were killed in a car crash which involved a police checkpoint outside Dungannon." "The nen, who were driving a yellow Ford Cortina, were signalled by police to stop." "Ignoring the warning, the car accelerated and drove directly at the officers." "Police opened fire on the vehicle as it attenpted to escape." "The car then went out of control and careered off the road." "Upon arrival at the crash scene, police found the occupants were dead." "The nanes of the two nen have not yet been released." "Can you identify the body as that of Paul Sullivan?" "Yes." "Yes." "Yes." " Ingrid." "lngrid. let's go." "Let's go." "Let's go. Ingrid." " Miss Jessner. where've you come from?" " Can you move away?" "Police say the man with Mr Sullivan was a terrorist suspect." " What are you suggesting?" " Who was in the car?" " l've no idea." " Police say he was a terrorist suspect." " ls it true he went through a road check?" " Was he working on his own?" " Did you know about his morning ride?" " Stop asking questions." "You must appreciate that I can't talk about this right now." "The driver of the car in which the shooting occurred was Frank Molloy." "Police said the car failed to stop at a roadblock outside Dungannon around 6. 1 5 this norning." "An RUC statenent said the driver accelerated towards their officers, who opened fire on the fleeing car causing it to swerve off the road." "Also in the car was Paul Sullivan, an Anerican lawyer and a leading figure in the lnternational League for Civil Liberties." "What's puzzling observers here is why Mr Sullivan left Belfast in the early hours to keep an appointnent with a nan who the police say is a terrorist suspect." "This is Ivan Little, Ulster Television, Dungannon." "With ne in the studio to discuss the political inplications of today's shooting is Mr Alec Nevin, who was a Conservative Party spokesnan on Northern lreland." "Earlier we saw Anericans denonstrating at the British Enbassy in Washington." "Let's nake a distinction." "What we saw was a denonstration by Ira supporters, the sort of people who give confort and weapons to the nen of violence." "John Ware, Labour MP, a particularly enbarrassing thing I would have thought was, of course, the death of this civil liberties spokesnan." "It's clear people will be asking the question" ""Does this nean the investigation has hit on a raw nerve?"" ""Has it revealed sone things perpetrated by the security forces because of their presence in Northern lreland?"" " ls Miss Jessner coming to talk to us?" " No. she's resting." " How is she?" " All right." "Have you been told any more about what happened at the shooting?" "Yeah." "The only thing that we know is that Mr Sullivan has been murdered by a member of the security forces near Dungannon in a car." "In a rented car with a man called Mr Molloy." "Did Mr Sullivan have Republican sympathies?" " No." " Was he a member of Noraid?" " Not at all." " What kind of man was he" " Mr Sullivan?" "Well. the only thing I can say is he was a very good lawyer and a great fighter for civil rights over the world. and a marvellous friend." "The British government have just appointed" "Deputy Chief Constable Kerrigan to head the investigation on the shooting." " What's your reaction to that?" " l heard he's a fine investigator of the cid." "But we would have preferred it to be an independent international inquiry." " You're not satisfied with their response?" " l've got a certain amount of scepticism." "You said you were sceptical." "Why won't the inquiry discover the truth?" "You had a lot of inquiries in the 1 3 past years and it didn't change anything." "If you have not checked in and need to pick up a boarding card, please do so now at gate nunber 1 5 on the first floor." "Excuse me. sir. I'm Sergeant Hughes." "your liaison for your stay." " This is Chief Superintendent Maxwell." " How do you do?" " Car's just outside." "Can I take your bag?" " Thank you." " This Jessner woman..." " Sullivan's girlfriend." "What time is it now?" "Four o'clock." "Bit late in the day." "What about this Mrs Molloy?" "Uh. she lives in. uh." "Fort William." "How far is it to Fort William." "Sergeant?" "Fort William's just over here on the right. sir." "About a mile away." "Might be a good idea if you spoke to them together. let them feed off each other." "Your Id?" "May as well leave the cases in the car." "We'll go to the hotel after." " Sure they'll be safe here?" " l hope so. sir." "Just in here. sir." " We're a bit pushed for space. sir." " Not bad." "I want a large wall map of Northern lreland and a blackboard." " Blackboard. sir?" " A big black thing you write on." "Yes. sir." " l'll tell Mr Brodie you're here. sir." " Thank you." "Sergeant." "That's kind of you." " Oh..." "Hello." " Hello." "I'm seeing Jack Cunningham later." " What's he doing nowadays?" " He runs his own security business." " Must be rolling in it." " Oh. he's earned it!" "Pleasure to meet you." "Mr Kerrigan." " Chief Superintendent Maxwell." " Uh-huh." "Good flight?" " Bit cramped." " Yeah. always is." "Not what you're used to. but it's the best we can do for Britain's top policeman." " Oh. it's perfectly adequate." " Uh-huh." " Anything else you need?" " Thank you. I'll ask." "Detective Sergeant Hughes will organise all your internal appointments." " Oh. yes. secretarial staff. require any?" " She'll be arriving tomorrow." "Excuse me." " Have you read the cid interim report?" " Yes." "Now. as I understand it." "your terms of reference in the inquiry are to re-examine the evidence and then to..." "Or reinvestigate the circumstances which led to the shooting of Sullivan and Molloy." "Well. I'm sure that your expertise will be appreciated." "However. I should warn you you may encounter some prejudice." " From members of your force?" " Possibly. but don't let it deter you." "Oh. it won't." "See. you have to bear in mind the situation here in Northern lreland." "We operate under enormous pressure." "For the last 1 2 years the Royal Ulster Constabulary have fought to maintain the peace against the terrorists." "1 40 people have given their lives." "3.500 have been injured and 1 55 medals for outstanding feats of gallantry." "So when outsiders from the mainland come to the province to tell us... I do understand." "But rest assured. no obstacle will be placed in your path." " You'll receive my full cooperation." " Thank you." "About accommodation. we have a couple of safe houses where RUC..." " l think it'll be better if we stay in a hotel." " Can I ask why?" "I don't want to socialise with officers I might have to question." "Best keep it on a professional basis." " Well. could I just say one thing..." " l'll also need a car." "Without a driver." " You do realise I can't guarantee safety?" " Absolutely." "Just let me say one thing so there can be no misunderstanding." "When you have completed your inquiry." "you will deliver your report to me first." " l understood it was to go to the DPP first." " No. lt comes to me first." "And I will forward it to the Director of Public Prosecutions." "We might as well keep that on a professional basis. too." " OK." " Thank you." "Ingrid." "Henri and I will stay with you for as long as you need us. huh?" " l'm OK." " Sure." "You can do more back home than here." "Hello." "No. no. it isn't Ingrid." "Who's calling?" "Um. um..." "Can you wait a second?" "It's Paul's mother." "All right?" "Rose..." "Mm." "How are you?" "Are you all right?" "is there somebody there with you?" "That's good." "That's good." "I'm all right. I'm all right." "I have some friends here and... it's OK." "What's the crack on this inspector Stephens of cid?" "Stephens?" "Ah. decent enough man." "is he handling the shooting?" "Yes." "And if he was one of my detectives." "he'd be back in uniform." " Why?" " Three hours after the shooting." "the RUC issued a statement." " lt was fabricated." " Maybe they had a reason." "No resistance was offered." "The weapon found in the car clearly didn't belong there." "Forensic showed that the shot that killed the Yank was fired at two metres." "The trajectory was wrong." "The officer that did the shooting claims he shot at 25 feet." "None of this was in the interim report." "What if there were witnesses and it comes out at the inquest?" "You know as well as I do how long these things take." "I know of two cases. one seven years ago." "one five. and still no inquest on either." "This one's different." "There's a lot of dead bodies in Northern lreland." "Peter." "Jack. you haven't been following the news." "Why the hell do you think I'm here?" "A prominent American is involved." " Brodie was hoping you'd do a snow job." " Oh-ho. not a chance." "Then next to the Pope. you'll become the most unpopular man in Northern lreland." "What you have to understand is Special Branch control the whole thing." "Why do you think I got out?" "As soon as my time was up." "I just grabbed my pension and ran." "These three policemen involved in the shooting..." " Cowboys. not policemen." " Tell me about them." "Members of an antiterrorist squad operating undercover." "Special Support Unit." "Code-named Echo Four Alpha." " Answerable to whom?" " Don't ask." "I have to know." "I'm not saying we shouldn't use them against the lRA. but they're out of control." "They're off the wire. trigger-happy." "Go where they want. do what they want." "They shoot first. no questions asked." "The other side don't play by the rules either." "Well. we're not the Ira." "Going back to these three policemen... lf they were involved. it's covert." " Run by Special Branch?" " They are Special Branch." " Sanctioned by them?" " Or Ml5." "Or Ml6." "Take your pick." "They all piss in the same pot." "If the great British public knew half of what goes on here. they wouldn't sleep." "I don't know what the answer is." "Anyway..." "Good night." "Jack." "Thanks." "Do yourself a favour." "Peter. I know it goes against the grain. but toe the line." " Give 'em what they want. then go home." " We'll see." " You're a pillock." " Mind how you go." "Sure. nobody gives a shit what happens in Northern lreland!" " What's wrong?" " l found this on the seat of my car." ""Next bullet is for you if you don't get out of Ireland." "Our day will come."" "Ira?" "It's a nine millimetre." "Walther PPK pistol." "That's a weapon favoured by the cowboys we talked about earlier." " Echo Four Alpha?" " Yeah." "So where are you taking me?" "It's one of ours." "Peter." " Afternoon." "Miss Jessner." "Any news?" " No. none." " What are your plans now?" " l have none. I don't want to say anything." " Miss Jessner. thank you for seeing me." " Of course." "Did you contact Mrs Molloy?" "Yeah." "She's expecting us." "Uh. how are your skills as a navigator?" "This is Paradox." "Subject's leaving location." "Tabs on now. please." "Paul was murdered." "Mr Kerrigan." " Why would the police want to kill him?" " l don't know. but they did." "What proof do you have?" "None." "But I do know what goes on here." "Torture. paid informants." "roadside executions. death squads." "Mr Kerrigan. when I was going through Paul's things I found something I think might be important." "It's an empty cassette box." "Paul was meticulous. and I can't find that tape." " Did you ask about it?" " l told the police." " What did they say?" " They would look into it and call me back." " And did they?" " No." " What was on the tape?" " l don't know." "but he was listening to it the night before." "This is it." "I also found this. um..." "I found this list of names." " ls this his writing?" " Yes." "This is a pretty formidable group." "Lord Randall." "Alec Nevin." "Sir Gerald Binning." " Why did he write these six names?" " l don't know." " Had he met them?" " No. not that I know of." " Have you shown this to anyone else?" " No." "Why?" "What do you think it is?" "What do you think?" "Could be people targeted." "Hit list?" " l'm not saying it is. but..." " Paul was not involved with terrorists!" "Perhaps innocently." " Maybe he was being used." " He was too smart to be manipulated." " He was a good lawyer." " Then why'd he write down these names?" "And why'd he leave the hotel at five o'clock in the morning. leaving you?" "And what was he doing driving around Dungannon with a fringe Ira member?" "He must have been mixed up in something." " Mrs Molloy. is this Frank's father?" " That's his father." " Who's that?" " Them's his friends." "Lifelong friends." "They can't believe it either." "Those were taken on holiday." "It was the last holiday we had." "Have you a religion." "Mr Kerrigan?" "Catholic." "In the heel of the hunt we'll all be answerable to God." " l curse the day we ever came back here." " Why did you?" "No choice." "He was working for the Ministry of Defence in London." "Some bright spark sent him on this course. then he was transferred over here." "What kind of work did he do?" "It came under the army." "To do with education and publishing things." "To tell you the truth." "he never talked much about it." "But he wasn't happy." "That's why he left?" "Under a cloud." "Said he couldn't stomach it any more." "Can I take a look at these?" " Oh. who's that?" " That's Grace's wedding." " This your daughter?" " lt was a beautiful day." "She looks wonderful." "Mrs Molloy..." "Did your husband ever mention Paul to you?" "No." "No." "They must have known each other though." "They must have." "but I never heard Frank mention him." "You were telling us earlier that the house was searched." "Yes." "Two days after." " Do you know who authorised it?" " The "Big Knock" authorised it." "One o'clock in the morning." "You either open up or your door goes in." " Did they question you?" " Asked me if I knew Captain Harris." " Captain Harris?" " Frank's old boss." "He worked in the unit in Lisburn." " And what did you tell them?" " Told them the truth." "The last time I saw Captain Harris was at the wedding." "Did they find anything?" "They took away some papers and all his cassette tapes." " Tapes?" " The lot." "Captain Harris. if he was at the wedding." "he might be in one of these photographs." " You've just been looking at it." " This one?" "That's him. next to the groom." " l know him." " You met him?" "No. I know his face." "He was talking to Paul at the Orange parade." " Here are the documents you asked for." " Thank you." "Chief." "Could you initial there." "Mr Maxwell?" "And you'll have to sign the Secured Documents Book as well." "And how did you get involved in civil liberties?" "I was in Chile." "I was doing some research for a TV documentary called The Disappeared." "It was about the victims of Pinochet after the coup." "And Paul was there." "working for the league." "When was that?" "1 975." "There was a technical advisor working with us." "A young Chilean... journalist." "He disappeared one day and I went to the league and Paul to see if they could find out what happened to him." " And did they?" " No." "It was a year before we found out he'd been executed." " What happened to the film?" " Never got made." " Too controversial?" " Too honest. I think." "It was about how Mr Kissinger." "the ClA and the Pentagon had made Chile safe for democracy." "So I quit TV and joined the league." "Got to know Paul better." "How about you?" "You have a wife?" "Yes." " Kids?" " Uh. three." "Two at university. one away at school." " See 'em much?" " Not as often as I'd like." "Your attention, please." "A telephone call for Mr Kerrigan." "Would a Mr Kerrigan please nake his way to the nearest telephone?" "Thank you." "Yes?" "It's Ton. I've got that stuff on Harris, what there is of it." " Go ahead." " James John." " Born Gateshead. 1 942." " Protestant." "Joined the army 1 960 as a private soldier." "Pronoted to the rank of lieutenant in '64." "Doesn't say which nob." "1 97 1 . he attended a course at the United States Army Special Warfare School at Fort Bragg." "A year later. 1 972." "he was seconded to the psychological warfare unit. known as psyops." " The same place Molloy went to." " Right." "In 1 97 3 he was sent to Northern lreland as a senior captain." "Um. and that's it. apart from a list of postings to various regiments." " Nothing else?" " Dead end." "And since '73?" " Classified." " They told you that?" "With great emphasis." "Shutters came down." "If there is a link between Paul's death and Harris..." "There has to be." "Then I need to know more about the background." "Why not start with where he is?" "According to the colonel I spoke to in Lisburn." "Harris is away on leave and can't be traced." " He hinted he was suffering from stress." " Do you believe that?" "No." "Mr Kerrigan. how far... how far are you willing to go with this?" "If." "and it's still a big "if"." "but if Harris is in any way connected with this shooting." "I don't care whose toes I tread on." "He becomes part of the investigation." "No more. no less." " OK?" " OK." "What it boils down to." "Sergeant." "is that you're in deep trouble." "You are in the middle of a shitstorm that's blowing round your ears." "And we're not just talking about disciplinary charges. lt goes beyond that." "You could be facing a murder charge." "This man Sullivan was no run-of-the-mill Paddy you could just blow away." "He was an American lawyer with a reputation." "There is no way this will be brushed under the carpet." "How old are you?" "37." "How long have you been on the force?" "1 2 years." "Two years ago you shot dead a Republican in the Falls." "It was either him or me. sir." "I'm not criticising you." "You should have got a commendation." " l did." " l'm on your side." "But if you go down for this." "how long do you think you'd last in the Crumlin Road Prison?" " You searched the bodies?" " Yes. sir." " Took away all personal effects?" " Yes. sir." "Find anything interesting on Sullivan?" "Usual stuff - wallet. money. id card." "What about the tape he was carrying?" "There was no tape. sir." " Are you getting all this?" " Yes. sir." " Read out that last bit." " From where?" "From me asking about the tape." ""'What about the tape he was carrying?" "' 'There was no tape. sir."'" "Do you want me to leave it at that?" "It's up to you." "You've already lied once in your statement to the cid." " l'm bound by the Official Secrets Act." " Not any more you're not." "All constraints are lifted." "Either tell me all that happened. in which case you might get off with a reprimand." "or you bury yourself deeper." "So what's it going to be?" "After the shooting... we returned to the barracks for the debriefing." "We were told by a senior officer what to say." "Name?" "Superintendent Fraser." " He instructed you to lie to the cid?" " Yes. sir." "He said it was to protect our source of information." " Do you know what that source was?" " No. sir." "We were only told to intercept." "Were you ordered to shoot on sight?" " Not in so many words." " What does that mean?" "We were told that the two men in the car were armed and dangerous." "and we mustn't take any chances with them." "How did you interpret that?" "I got the feeling we were being given clear signals to bring them back dead or alive." "There'd be no questions asked." "Now tell me about the tape." "We took it from the American." "Go on." "When we got back to the barracks Mr Fraser was there to meet us." " And there was someone else with him." " A police officer?" " More like Special Branch." " What was his name?" "I don't know." "but he seemed to be in charge." "Can you describe him?" "English." "tall. thinning on top." "aged about 40." "So what happened?" "First thing the tall man asked about was the tape." " Which he took with him?" " Yes. sir." "Have you any idea what was on the tape?" "Not a clue. sir." "OK." "We'll just run through it again." "then you can sign it." "In every statement." " Good." " There." "The senior officer who did the debriefing - Superintendent Fraser - l want to see him." " So what do you think?" " lt's time I had a word with Mr Brodie." "after I've interviewed Fraser." "There's something else I want you to do." "Before he left the hotel." "Sullivan wrote a list of names." "I want you to check them." "The connection is obvious - famous punters. what have you." "I want something more specific." " Has Brodie seen this?" " No." "We'll keep it in the family." "538. please." "There's your key." "and there's a message for you as well." " Oh. hiya." "Come on in." " Thanks." "Hey." " Kevin." " Here you are." "Thanks." "Look. I was really sorry to hear about Mr Sullivan." "Thanks." " D'you smoke?" " Mm-hm." "Yes." "Thanks." " So is it just you and Kevin?" " Yeah." "His dad's doing 1 2 years in the Kesh." "What for?" "Possession of arms and Ira membership." "He was doing a punishment for the Ira on some local gangsters robbing their own community." "and he got caught by the RUC." "Just like him." "He never did have much luck." "So you said in your note that you might have some information." "I'm just delivering a message." "Harris wants to meet you and the policeman." "Kerrigan." " When?" " Tomorrow night." "Look. after what's happened." "can you trust Kerrigan?" " Yeah. I trust him. I think he's different." " Well. anyway." "Harris wants him there." "You meet him at a Republican club off the Falls Road. I'll give you the address." " ls Kerrigan safe in a Republican club?" " Oh. yeah. as long as you're with him." "I'll get you that photograph I told you about." "This is it." "He's an officer in the SAS." "He led a killer squad across the border." "That's where this photograph was taken." "Anything in Sergeant Kennedy's statement you disagree with." "Superintendent?" "No. sir." "He says that you instructed him to lie to the cid about the shooting of Paul Sullivan and Frank Molloy. ls this true?" " lt was to protect a source of information." " What was that source?" " That's classified information. sir." " On whose orders?" "On the orders of Mr Brodie." "When your men returned to the barracks they were given a debriefing." "Were they given a cover-up story?" "Certain evidence was withheld. yes." "A dress rehearsal so they could decide what to tell the cid?" " Yes. sir." " By you?" "Yes. sir." "But I was acting under orders." "This Englishman..." "Tall. thinning hair. about 40." "who took the tape." " Who is he?" " Don't know. sir." "Have you seen him before?" "Once... with Mr Brodie." "Where?" "Here in this building." "Did he show you his authority?" "No. sir." "He just walked in and took the tape?" "I received a phone call from Mr Brodie." "He told you to give it to him?" "Yes. sir." " D'you mind if I smoke. sir?" " Yes. I do." "Go!" "Move!" "Move it!" "Get out of here!" "Get out!" " Move!" "Move it!" " Get the hell out of my house!" "There's nobody in there!" "Get out!" " Get inside!" " What do you want?" "My baby's in there!" "I arrest you under Section 1 1 of the Emergency Provisions Act." "Get dressed!" "What are they doing?" "My baby's in the other room." "That's too bad." "Get your clothes on!" " No!" "What are you arresting me for?" " l'm arresting you under Section 1 1 !" " For what?" "I haven't done anything!" " We'll see about that!" "Will you now?" "I'm going nowhere until..." " Get your clothes on now!" " l'm putting no clothes on!" "Get off!" "Get off!" " You bitch!" " Get off!" " Get him off me!" " Just calm down now." " l'm going nowhere until I see a solicitor." " Open the door." " What about my baby next door?" " Open that door!" "We're going to town." "An awful lot of questions..." "Hold her!" "Come on!" " Has Brodie's office returned my call yet?" " No." "Try again now." "Mr Kerrigan's secretary." "Did you set up that appointment with Mr Brodie yet?" "Why not?" "I've been trying since 1 2 o'clock yesterday." "Excuse me." "Can't meet you today." "He has an official engagement." "  Playing games." " Find out when he's leaving." "is Mr Brodie there now?" "What time's his appointment?" "Thank you." "He's there until 2.30." "Two statements." "Fraser's and Sergeant Kennedy's." " l'd like to see them." " They'll be in my report." " And now you want to question me?" " Interview you." " Well. make an appointment." " All right." "When?" " At my convenience." " Will you get off your fucking high horse!" "I don't ask your cooperation!" "I demand it!" " What is it you want?" " Everything. chapter and verse." " That might not be possible." " Why not?" "Give me your question and please try to hurry. I've got another funeral to attend." "Both Superintendent Fraser and Sergeant Kennedy admit there was a cover-up." " Fraser says you ordered it." " Classified." " Then the buck stops here?" " lt's classified." " l can't accept that." " Then put that in your report. too." "Next?" " He says..." " Who says?" "Fraser says it was in order to protect the source." "Well. that's acceptable." " Not to me it isn't." " That's because you've been meddling..." "Meddling?" "I am conducting an investigation. for Christ's sake!" "Cover-up stories are used to protect informants whose lives may be in danger." "Look. the last thing I want to do is to probe into sensitive areas." "but the civil liberties people are sending a lawyer from the States for the inquest." " So?" " So they'll make mincemeat out of you." " They'll ask questions." " l've got a few questions of my own." "There was no roadblock. no witnesses were questioned. no resistance offered." "The weapon in the car had no prints." "Forensic showed that Sullivan was shot from a distance of two metres after the car had crashed." "The officers acted on the assumption that both men were armed and dangerous." "Prove it." "What was Sullivan doing in Dungannon at five in the morning with Molloy?" "There was no warrant out for either of them. so you've no case." "There's no law against two men deciding to go out for a drive." "In court. your cover story will be blown." "because neither Kennedy nor Fraser will carry the can." " That's for the DPP to decide." " Will he have a choice?" "When that lawyer gets him in the dock he will squeeze him." " Think I give a shit about that lawyer?" " Well. I would if I were you." "Yes. the RUC do run covert operations." "but so do the Ira." "If you want to bring home the bacon." "you first of all have to kill the pig!" "Now. if you will excuse me." "Three of our young men are being buried this morning." "Blown up by a land mine." " l have more questions." " Two were married with young children." "I want that tape." " What tape?" " The tape found on Sullivan's body and brought back to Gough Barracks." " This Fraser again?" " And Kennedy. lt's in both statements." " l don't have it." " You know who does." " Classified information..." " "Classified". bullshit!" "What the fuck are you people running here?" "Your own private shooting war." "Checks and balances." "Mr Kerrigan. but between the jigs and reels we are winning and innocent lives are being saved as a result." "The source you wish to protect is Army Intelligence." "Am I right?" " What?" " l'll say it again quickly." "Molloy and Sullivan were killed for that tape." "Army Intelligence." "Ml5." "Ml6. whoever it is." "are involved and I want to know why." " Then take it up with them." " You ordered it." "My participation was limited to the policing aspects." " That'll sound wonderful in court." " What court?" " Charges will be made." " By you?" " l'll make a recommendation. yes." " Which I shall take to the DPP to decide." " lt won't work." " What?" "Not at my expense it won't." "My God. you're catching the Irish disease." "You're getting paranoid." "If necessary I'm prepared to resign over this and start telling tales out of school." "I don't think you will." " You're a career officer. like me." " l mean it." " You'd resign the force and go public?" " lf l have to." "Listen. we're both professionals." "we observe certain rules." "Then understand." "without access to that tape." "it is impossible for me to evaluate the evidence." "I can't help you there." "I have neither seen nor heard the tape." "And. frankly. I don't want the burden." "Now. if you will excuse me." "Who's Harris?" "Harris?" "I've never heard of him." "Miss McKechnie. will you show Mr Kerrigan out of my office. please?" " What's Harris's link with the Provos?" " Why do you think he has one?" " Why else meet in an lRA club?" " lt's a Republican club." " Same difference." " Not every Republican supports the Ira." "Let's hope you're right." "or I could be putting my head in a noose." "I wouldn't worry." "One thing you can count on with the Ira is that they're predictable." "Yes." "They shoot policemen." "Did you lock the door?" " Looking for someone?" " Teresa Doyle." " You'll have to be signed in by a member." " That's why I'm waiting for her to come." "That's OK." "Danny. I know these people." "I take full responsibility for them." "Welcome to the James Connolly Republican Club." "I'm Liam Philbin." "the Sinn Fein rep for this area." " Ingrid Jessner." " Hello." "Peter Kerrigan." " You got here OK?" " Yeah. fine. thanks." " Would any of you buy a football ticket?" " Oh." "How much?" " 1 5 pence." " Four." " Thank you." " Thank you." "Congratulations." "You've contributed to a fund for Republican prisoners." " Thank you." " Here's a present." " Down to you." "Shall we go in?" " Sure. is Teresa here?" " No." "Teresa got lifted on Monday." " Lifted?" "What for?" "Harassment." "Happens all the time." " ls she all right?" " She's OK. yes." " And the baby?" " He's OK." "They're being looked after." "I thought about my land throughout these days" "Why my country was divided" "Why I was now in jail imprisoned without crime or without trial" "And now I love my country." "I'm not a bitter man I see cruelty and injustice at first hand" "And then one fateful morning I shook bold freedom's hand" "For right or wrong. I tried to free my land" "And you dare call me a terrorist" "While you look down your gun" "When I think of all the deeds that you have done" "You have plundered many nations" "Divided many lands" "You have terrorised their people you ruled with an iron hand" "And you've brought this reign of terror to my land" "And you dare call me a terrorist" "While you look down your gun" "When I think of all the deeds that you have done" "You have plundered many nations" "Divided many lands" "You have terrorised their people you ruled with an iron hand" "And you've brought this reign of terror to my land" "You've brought this reign of terror to my land" "Thank you." "There is a picture of James Connolly." "one of our greatest ever Irish leaders." "Connolly said many years ago that England has no more moral right to administer Irish affairs than it has to administer those of America or Japan." "No more moral right to police us than it has a moral right to shoot us." " British withdrawal." " That's the answer." "But... innocent people have been killed." "Yes. innocent people have been killed and are being killed." "But if you look at the colonies." "take. for instance." "America." "George Washington was called a terrorist." "Jomo Kenyatta was a terrorist." "Archbishop Makarios was a terrorist." "Unfortunately. colonies appear to have to fight for their freedom." "It is never granted willingly. lt's a struggle." "Liam. do you know why Paul was with Mr Molloy that morning?" "Yes." "Molloy was taking him to meet Harris. in fact." " Where?" " At a safe house." " That you provided?" " Yes." " Our interests coincided." " ln what way?" "Let's just say that our enemies became his enemies." " Where is he." "Liam?" " He's out the back here. waiting for you." " So if you like. we'll go and see him." " Yes." "Right then." "Come on." "Here's your visitors now." " Thank you." "Liam." " OK." " l'll leave you to it." " Thank you." " Harris?" " Yes." " How much has Liam told you?" " Only that Molloy brought you here." "And that you were sheltered by the Ira." " And you find that reprehensible. hm?" " For Molloy. no." "No. he has his loyalties." "But for you. an officer serving in the British army. yes." "I am terribly sorry about what happened." "I really didn't think they'd go that far." "Why did you want to see Paul?" " l gave him a tape." "Didn't you know that?" " Not till later." " Coming here could cost me my life." " Mine. too." "But. unlike you." "I don't have the Ira to protect me." "I gave the Ira nothing." "I was an army intelligence officer co-opted to work with Ml6." "then Ml5 when they took over." "Psyops." "Our cover name was information Policy Unit." "Our official function was to liaise with the press and prepare public relations programmes." "And unofficially?" "We had our own printing press." "We'd forge documents attributed to Republican sources." "We'd provide material for the media - newspapers. television." " Black propaganda?" " Yes." "What kind of material?" "Whatever we thought was necessary." "We'd invent stories. leak truths." "leak lies. leak half-truths." "Accountable to the politicians." "Let us get one thing straight." "Kerrigan." "We were accountable to no one." "The prime minister. parliament." "the courts. the great British public." "It made no difference." "They were all there to be manipulated." " And that didn't bother you?" " Not against the lRA. it didn't." "But during the election of '7 4 our work became increasingly political." "Ml5 were running things." "our long-term objectives were abandoned." "The new emphasis was on assassination teams. bounty hunters." "But the psyops unit continued to operate?" "Oh. yes. but with fresh targets." "During the '70s the Conservative party was demoralised and divided." "They'd seen their leader." "Edward Heath." "cave in against the miners' strike of '7 4." "and were searching for a new leader from the hard right." "So we. uh... we circulated stories about his private life." " Heath was dumped." " And replaced by Thatcher?" "Yeah. but that wasn't enough." "There was a concern amongst businesses and the military that Labour'd be re-elected and moderates would be replaced by left-wingers." "who in turn would be opposed to NATO and nuclear weapons." "Remember. inflation was running rife." "industry was crippled by strikes." "What is this leading up to?" "Treason." "Mr Kerrigan." "Pressure came from the ClA to get rid of the Labour government." "Jesus!" "They fed information to Ml5 claiming that Prime Minister Wilson was a KGB agent." "It was a joint cia/Ml5 operation." "supported by others in Whitehall." "Yeah. the whole bag of dirty tricks was used." "Smears. break-ins. burglaries." "phone-tapping. blackmail. disinformation." "If what you say is true..." " lt landed on my desk." " And you believed it?" "I did when it was used by Alec Nevin. the future prime minister's close political ally." "The principal architect of her victory over Edward Heath." "You're saying that Thatcher was involved in this?" "No." "But she was the main beneficiary." "The files and documents I got from Ml5 I turned into articles and essays for selected journalists... and speeches for Alec Nevin." " Why should I believe you?" " Because it's all on the tape." "Why else do you think they tried to get rid of me?" "If this comes out. with Nevin's explicit connections to the PM." " the spotlight would fall on Number Ten." " That's why his name is on the list." " What list?" " Paul made a list of six names." " Do you have them with you?" " l took them." "Then study that list very carefully." "Mr Kerrigan." " Why?" " They are the prime movers." "Nevin's ideological counterparts in business. industry. the military." "Together they form the nucleus." "Their priority was to wreck Labour's chances of winning another election." "and were prepared to go even further." "You want wrapping up in a blanket!" "Paul knew this." "He heard the tape. he had it." "That's why they murdered him." " l think you're insane." " l can prove it." " Why would he lie?" " l don't know." "Guilt. pressure." " Acute paranoia." " l am as sane as you are." " l believe him." " lt couldn't happen." "Kerrigan. it did." "Why didn't you resign?" "I was a career officer." "One hoped that the situation would change." "But I also saw what happened to people in a similar position." "Good men ruined." "So you went along with it?" "No. I asked questions about it." "At first they were very understanding." "Said that I was suffering from stress. physical exhaustion." "That I needed a break from Northern lreland." "So they sent me to the mainland as an instructor to the school of intelligence." "In late '77 I was posted back here." " How did they find out about this tape?" " Because I behaved stupidly." "Instead of keeping my head down." "I had a row about it all." "Consequently." "I was put under surveillance." "Mail was opened. phones were tapped." "One night they found a backup copy of the tape stitched in the lining of my beret." "so I took the original tape and ran." "I'm still running." "You say you have this tape?" "It's all there." "Names. dates." "I bugged their meetings." "I wanted Sullivan to publicise it." "Being a US citizen and civil rights lawyer." "I thought he was beyond reach." "You were wrong." "I'm afraid media exposure is the only protection I have." "Do you have it with you?" " l have certain demands." " What demands?" "Once I deliver the tape." "I want to be put in protective custody." " and I want you to make it public." " Agreed." " l can't do that." " Why not?" "He's not under my authority." "He's military." "Kerrigan. you were brought here to investigate Paul Sullivan's death." "He was murdered because of that tape." "Where is it?" "Do I have your agreement?" "Yes." "Dublin." "The Ira found me a safe house." "They're hoping I'll go to a meeting and denounce British imperialism." " When can we have it?" " You have to come to Dublin." " When?" " Day after tomorrow." "Where?" " O'Connell Bridge. 1 1am." " We'll be there." "Oh. one last thing." "Nevin has a man working for him." "His name is McKee." "Former member of the SAS." " Look out for him." "  What's he look like?" "Big man." "Tall. bland face. thinning hair." "He's quite ruthless." "Capable of anything." "Am I wrong." "Mr Kerrigan. or is it illegal to kill people and try to steal a country?" "Don't assume it happened just because Harris said it did." "Paul's dead!" "Molloy's dead!" "That happened." "Save your outrage till we've heard the tape." " Good evening." " Good evening. sir." "Thank you." "Have you seen Mr Maxwell?" "He's in the bar. sir." " How'd it go?" " lt was interesting." " Did you see Harris?" " Yes." "He didn't have the tape." " You've had a call from Ml5." " The spook department?" " Who?" " Sir Robert Neil." "Wants to meet you for lunch tomorrow." "Sending his car at 1 2." " Time for a drink?" " No." "No. I've had enough." "Uh. you two OK?" " Yes. thank you." "Mr Kerrigan." " Fine." " Mind how you go." " See you in the morning." " Good morning." "Mr Kerrigan." " Good morning." " Come in." "Mr Kerrigan." " Sir Robert." "This way." "Do you know Alec Nevin?" "No. I don't believe we've met." "Delighted to meet you." "I've heard a great deal about you." "How do you do?" " Sherry?" " Uh. no. thank you." "You've got your coffee. have you?" "So." "Mr Kerrigan." "how has your inquiry progressed?" "Sullivan and Molloy were killed because of a tape." " What tape?" " According to a Captain Harris..." " You've met him?" " Last night." "Well. go on." " Your name surfaced." "Mr Nevin." " Really?" "He claims he has a tape proving that you and others conspired to destabilise the last Labour government." "He says he gave a copy of this tape to Paul Sullivan. hoping he'd publicise it." "That's why Sullivan was killed." " You've not heard the tape then?" " Not yet... but I will." "You're seeing Harris again?" "I can't tell you." "Although he was strictly army." "Harris worked for me." "Yes. I know." " He was rather good at what he did." " He was a traitorous bastard." "When I arrived. there was a man who greeted me at the car - tall. thinning hair." " What about him?" " l might want to question him." "After the tape was taken from Sullivan's body." "the police gave it to someone answering his description." "I have four witnesses to identify him." "Did he give the tape to you?" " Are you interrogating me?" " Are you obstructing me?" "Let me listen to that tape. then I can eliminate Harris from my inquiry." "You have no choice." "Alec." "Do you remember the disorders of the 1 970s." "Mr Kerrigan?" "The kind of chaos we faced?" "Strikes. riots." "Miners bringing down a Conservative government." "Inflation going sky-high. our European creditors queuing up to pounce on us." "Oh. how Europe enjoyed our discomfiture." "Instead of just letting it happen." "a few of us got together to do something about it." "So... there was a conspiracy." "My dear chap." "politics is a conspiracy." " The point is. our paths converge." " ln what way?" " We both serve the state." " No!" "I defend the state." "You subvert it." "All right." "let's be frank with one another." "Illegal methods were used in an attempt to bring down the Labour government." "but that's all in the past." "Do you think by scrutinising mistakes made you will help restore respect for law and order?" "Don't play hide-and-seek with reality." "Mr Kerrigan." "If you want to see the release of that tape and its contents made public. go ahead." "But first consider the consequences." "Every agitator. every intellectual." "every bleeding-heart liberal with his rhetoric about civil rights will seize on it." "Now. you say you defend the state." "So do I." "But parliament and its institutions are the state." "And anything that threatens the government." "the rule of law." "the credibility of parliament is a threat to the state." "Leave well alone." "Mr Kerrigan." "Let the historians discover it in 50 years' time." "Our duty is to protect Number Ten." "It wouldn't be published anyway." "It's none of your concern." " No?" " lt's outside your jurisdiction." "I don't accept that." "What Alec and the others did eight years ago was terribly wrong." "It wasn't just "terribly wrong"." "It was criminal." "But it was wrong for the right reasons." "These were. and still are." "honourable men." " They broke the law." " We're agreed on that." "But tell me. as a professional policeman." "don't you find that hardened criminals often benefit from the restraints imposed on the police by the courts?" "Absolutely. yes." "And when. to secure a conviction." "the police remove those constraints." "when. for example. they illegally tap a phone to apprehend political terrorists whose aim is to overthrow democracy." "is this ever justified?" "It depends on the circumstances." "Well. let's be more specific." "In 1 97 4 the Ira blew up a Birmingham pub." "21 young people were killed." "162 were injured." "The police - your colleagues - arrested six lrishmen." "They underwent what is euphemistically referred to as "in-depth" interrogation." " They kicked the hell out of the swine." " And obtained a confession." " Which held up in court." " Was that justified?" "If they did that. they were out of order." " Tell that to the people of Birmingham." " The point I'm trying to make... I understand the point you're trying to make." "Sir Robert." "That to maintain the system. the abuse of power is sometimes necessary." "Yes." "It allows us to enjoy the freedom of living in a free society." "A price the public are prepared to pay." " That's a dangerous concept." " But a realistic one." "You're forgetting one thing." "What's to stop Harris from making copies of the tape?" "Nothing at all. except without Harris there's no authenticity. no documentation." "Everyone would think it was an lRA fake." "And my investigation?" "Well. I have a solution that is both effective and acceptable." "You have the culprits that did the shooting." "Nail them." "It really is a gorgeous day." "Ireland would be a lovely place if it wasn't for the Irish." "Was Miss Jessner with you when you met Harris?" "Yes." "I wonder why Harris chose Paul Sullivan?" "Did you know before she met him she lived with a communist?" " No. I didn't." " lt was all rather sad." "A Chilean." "She had an abortion." "There is something I want to show you." "Not very pleasant. I'm afraid." "Liam Philbin." "Served seven years in H-Block." "suspected of murdering two policemen." "That's you making a contribution to Ira funds." "unintentionally. of course!" "These make my stomach turn." "Alec wanted to turn them over to his newspaper friends." "I persuaded him not to." "Well. apart from the damage it could do to your career... I'm a family man myself." "Mr Kerrigan." "I know the harm this sort of thing can do to a happy marriage." "Take them." "Who keeps the negatives?" "Alec keeps them." "Fuck you!" "First they threw the book at me." ""Not in the national interest" and "violation of security"." "There. I mean... lt's infantile. laughable." "Comic-book stuff." "Don't underestimate it." "Peter." "I've been a policeman for 26 years." "I've never met anything like this." "If you go to Dublin." "see him and get the tape..." "Neil would say it was used for intelligence purposes and can't be admitted in court." " So what are we left with?" " The shooting." " lt's flameproof." "We have the statements." " Which we can make stick." "provided we make no references to the tape." "Concession offered by Neil." "Jesus." "What does that make me?" "I came here as the cop that couldn't be bought." " Nobody bought you." " l've been manipulated from day one!" "Put through the hoop." "What happens if I choose to take this to the limit?" "To the powers that be?" "What support would I get?" "Too risky." "You blow the whistle." "when the shouting stops." "they reach an accommodation." "you're finished." "You know." "Tom. I think I am naive." "I've always believed that given half a chance the system would work." "Look. we've got the men who did the shooting." " Everything I've stood for..." " Our job's done." "No!" "That's unacceptable." "I walk away from this." "it's a lifetime wasted." "They want this thing buried and." "if necessary. will bury you alongside it." " But there was a conspiracy." " What proof have we got?" " Neil admitted it!" " He'll deny it." "That conversation never took place." "Turn your back on this." "Peter." "What about Ingrid Jessner?" "What about her?" "Not your problem." "This is all politics." "We have the men that did the shooting." "Are you willing to settle for that?" "What else is there?" "And if I persist?" "Then you're on a hiding to nothing." "What about you?" " l'm a career policeman." " So was I." "I'm sorry." "Peter." "I'm not prepared to risk my future." "not in this." "Thanks." "Tom." "You've just proved my point." "If a Mr Kerrigan calls." "will you tell him I've left?" " Yes. certainly." " Thanks." "Miss Jessner?" "I'm Mr Kerrigan's secretary." "He asked me to give you that." "Any message?" " When's his flight?" " Mid-afternoon. I expect." "Thanks." "Echo One to Control." " Go ahead, Echo One." " We're on the Dublin road." "Are the others in place?" "Yes." "Signing off now." "Control." "Give it another minute. then overtake her quite quickly. I want to get ahead of her." " Cone in, Echo Two." " Echo Two." " ls everything all right, Echo Two?" " Yeah. she's 200 yards in front of me." "In a little while you'll see a petrol station on your left." "You pull in and I'll take up the follow." "Echo Two." "She's making for the bridge." " l'n having trouble getting through." " Bang your fucking horn!" " Where's Kerrigan?" " l don't know." " That's no answer!" " l know. I don't know where he is." "Let's walk." "You'll see that it's published?" "I'll try." "Don't let me down." " Trust me." " l do." "Where to. love?" " l have to hire a car." " You want a car-hire place?" "Yeah." " Which one?" "Any one in particular?" " No. it doesn't matter." "You decide." "Well. do you want an expensive car or a cheap car?" " lt doesn't matter. I don't care." " l've had Americans here before." " l just want to know what car you'd like." " Just go." "Just go." " lt doesn't matter." "Just go!" " OK." " There's a friend of mine..." " Fine." " l'll bring you there. will I?" " Fine." "Great." "On this tape is a conversation that took place at the hone of Alec Nevin." "Its purpose was to set up a Conservative governnent with a right-wing leadership." "I had shown support, so was invited to attend the neeting." "I wore a recording device activated by voice." "Letting people off the leash a bit in that direction, the nilitary and our friends in the intelligence connunity, is really enhancing the case for dranatic constitutional resolution of this crisis." "Indeed." "Don't underestinate the flexibility." "We nust pressure the palace to give legitinacy to what we need to do." "Indeed." "We all underestinate the flexibility of this constitution of ours." "We can do alnost anything." "What are his weaknesses?" "What can we have circulated?" "And what runours can we nake stick?" "We all know about Heath, we all know what we think about hin." "We should look to 5 to assist in this natter." "Hello." "Can you try Miss Jessner's room again. please?" "Have you paged her?" "No." "No message. thanks." " l don't suppose we'll be needing this." " What's that?" "It's the dossier you asked me to prepare on those six names." "Thanks." "Insurance." " Shall I take the luggage down now. sir?" " These two. please." "It isn't your fault." "They must have followed her." "I'll pick up the rest of this stuff later." " You know about Harris?" " l heard it on the radio." "First they kneecapped him. then blew half his head away." "Typical Ira execution." " What about Ingrid?" " What about her?" " lf this leaks out..." " lt won't." " A crime has been committed." " What crime is that?" " l'm not just talking about Harris." " lt's covered by the Official Secrets Act." " God. you people live in the Dark Ages." " And what about you. huh?" "Listen. you and I are cut from the same cloth." "I am what I have to be." "but you... you're no better." "keep your balls intact." "Have a good flight." "And don't forget to send me that report." "Okey-doke?" "We need to get sone agents provocateurs into these strikes, local governnent strikes, to cause a lot of unpleasantness and disruption." "We need that to run through until the election and give it a shot." "The question is can we rely upon denocracy?" " Just, in ny opinion." " With a push here and there." "I agree with the little push." "I agree that is the point why we're here." "If there's a run on the pound, that's fine." "If there's a lot of stuff circulating about Wilson and Moscow, which we know to be the case, Wilson's sonebody we should hone in on." "A lot of stuff should be circulated about Wilson." "Miss Jessner." "She hasn't seen us." "Wait here." " What are you doing here?" " Where were you?" "Why didn't you come?" " There are reasons." " Tell me!" "I don't have to." "I'm sorry." "What about Mr Nevin?" " What about Harris?" " Harris is dead." "They're blaming the Ira." " But it was them!" "I saw it happen." " Please. keep your voice down." " l told you not to go." " You told me a lot of things." " Did you speak to Harris?" " Yes." " Did you tell them we were meeting him?" " You were followed." "But you did talk to them." "Why?" " Did he give you the tape?" " You're not gonna..." " Are you going to do anything about this?" " There's nothing I can do." "They committed murder and treason this morning by orders of British intelligence." " and you can do nothing!" " l wish I could." "This is a final call for Flight BTH9 to London Heathrow." "You have connections I don't have." "People will listen to you." "With you as my witness?" "A member of a civil liberties group who accuses the British government of torture." ""l don't care whose toes I tread on." That's what you said. and I believed it." " Look. I have to go." " Go." " l'm a policeman." " Yes. you are." " The men who shot Paul will be charged." " To know and do nothing." " You can't win against these people." " To close your eyes." " Forget it." "Go home." " That's how fascism starts." " So what do you think of British law now?" " This has nothing to do with law." " What is it then?" " lt's politics."
