"Piers Kennedy was having an affair with Bonnie Yorke, Ralph Palmer's partner, the founder of the Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons." "Why didn't you mention this when Piers vanished?" "I'm pretty sure one of them was a woman. 'Look in Scaynes Lake." "'Not all conspiracies are theories.' The MoD plods killed him." "The Ministry of Defence police." "Armed police!" "Get down!" "It was revenge." "Revenge for what?" "!" "There's a videotape." "He said the MoD police killed Piers." "And this tape will prove it." "GUNFIRE" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Get down!" "Climb down!" "Hands behind your back!" "Stay down!" "Who's filming this?" "One of the hijackers, I guess." "Throw your weapons to the side and no-one will get hurt!" "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "!" "Making a statement!" "GROANING AND GRUNTING" "Put the gun down!" "Drop the gun!" "Put it down." "Drop the gun!" "Put the gun down!" "Put it down!" "Pull him down!" "Pull him down!" "Turn that thing off!" "He's dead." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Grab the camera!" "Do you think Murray was one of those four?" "I don't know, but all I know is that the date on that tape is the night he came to my flat." "Grace..." "Are you sure?" "I mean, it was 28 years ago." "Yes, Spence, I'm sure." "What makes you think he might have been involved?" "I suppose..." "I suppose I wanted to know more about him so I looked in his bag." "And there was a gun." "Where was Murray?" "Asleep." "On the couch?" "Did you confront him about the gun?" "No." "In the morning, he was desperate to listen to the news and I can't remember what the headlines were, something about the unemployment figures, but he seemed..." "..I don't know, surprised." "And disappointed?" "Relieved." "And there's no mention of the attempted seizure of a nuclear weapon or what looks like the murder of an MoD PC?" "So, either this tape is faked, which it doesn't look like..." "Or the Government hushed it up and they're still hushing it up." "There's no 'or' about it, that's what happened." "Jane Hussey as good as told me that." "It's no surprise they hushed it up." "Four woolly hats ambush a nuclear bomb in the middle of England..." "And kill a copper." "I think we'll find he suffered from a tragic accident." "You wouldn't believe the shit we buried in Counter Terrorism." "So, Grace, you'd known this guy for two weeks." "You're both involved in a pacifist movement and he was carrying a gun and you didn't even ask him about it." "I didn't want to jeopardise my relationship, OK?" "And I didn't trust the police so I wouldn't go to them." "And they were no more or less than Thatcher's private army." "The miners' strike proved that, and they acted with impunity whenever or wherever they could." "Whatever you feel politically, today you went to see a man, and everything suggests that he was embroiled in a terrorist plot where somebody was killed." "And now it's irrelevant whether that person is a police officer or not." "This is a human being who died." "I didn't know that at the time!" "Yes, but you do now and I need some reassurances." "I need to know where you stand." "I need to know that, if he contacts you, you're going to help us." "In fact, I want your word that you're going to help us." "Us, Grace." "Of course." "We need to hand this tape over to MI5." "They don't know it exists." "Says who?" "Before you hand that over, remember what Murray said " ""The Ministry of Defence police killed Piers Kennedy out of revenge."" "Dr Lockhart." "It seems you are who you say you are." "I'm only sorry we couldn't establish that sooner." "You're not the only one." "May I suggest, next time, that you try using the front door?" "Hm?" "Can I have my phone back, please?" "When you first came to see me you made reference to an incident of national security and impressed upon me..." "Get to the point, Boyd." "All right." "MOBILE RINGS" "Just answer it!" "Yes?" "Eve just called." "Last night she tunnelled up from the Piers Kennedy crime scene right into the bowels of the MoD." "I'm sorry." "I'm going to have to call you back." "'But we can't hand over that tape to anyone at the MoD' until we find out what they're trying to cover up." "Thanks for that." "You were saying?" "Er... yes..." "The Waterways of the British Isles, edited by Ralph Palmer, including a chapter on the subterranean rivers of London." "So he had proven knowledge of a singularly obscure crime scene and the motive to leave a body there." "To exploit Piers Kennedy's anti-establishment profile, to frame the Thatcher government, only the wall collapses and no-one finds him." "Yeah, you've got it, Jane." "So, essentially, you're pursuing the original line of enquiry - the husband did it." "They weren't married." "Essentially." "Yeah, essentially, yes." "So why am I here?" "Well, the significant corollary of the husband did it is the state didn't." "That was never in doubt." "No, and neither does it pertain to your incident of national security so you can... you can breathe easy, Jane." "Has Ralph Palmer actually confessed?" "No." "But we'll get there." "Hi, Eve." "Are you OK?" "Yeah." "I think they were more shocked than I was." "But what goes up has to come down, right?" "So we were thinking, what if, back in '83, the MoD police took Piers in for questioning?" "When something's covered up like this, there can't be questions." "It has to be like it never happened." "You should know that." "OK, OK." "So it wasn't sanctioned." "There were some mod plods that were rightly pissed off that one of their own got killed..." "Pull him down!" "Pull him down!" "The prime suspect wasn't even going to be interviewed." "They'd never risk bringing him into the MoD building itself." "Why not?" "Maybe they wanted to question Piers, things got out of hand and then they had a body to dispose of." "And that would support Murray's suspicions." "We trawled for MoD officers dying in the line of duty in late October '83 and found a likely candidate." "Just tell me you didn't go through MoD personnel." "No, no." "I couched it as part of a statistical enquiry into officers dying in the line of duty." "Now..." "OK." "MOD PC Ken Nelson, 37, died in a stair fall at Bramley Air Base." "Notice how he bears a striking similarity to our dead PC here." "Cause of death was a broken neck attributed to the stair fall, but he could also have sustained it falling in this ditch." "Pull him down!" "Pull him down!" "Now, look at these pictures of nasal damage to our PC." "Nasal injuries, there you go, are almost always as a result of direct trauma to the nose, rather than from a forward fall." "Plus, if he had fallen forward, where are the wounds and bruises to his hands, his elbows and other extremities?" "He would've reached out to break his fall." "He was pushed backwards into the ditch and broke his neck." "His nose was already messed up from the head butt." "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "!" "And, if this is our PC, it might go some way to explain why there was a small amount of gritty water found in his lungs that the pathologist was unable to account for." "How did the MOD know that one of these men... was Piers Kennedy?" "Hi. it's Lucy." "I'm so sorry to bother you, I just..." "'Hello, Lucy!" "'" "There's no-one else to talk to, there's no-one else who understands." "Piers, Hugo, we could be next." "I'm so scared." "Can we meet?" "'My secretary will probably kill me, but how about we say this evening?" "'" "Thank you, thank you. 'No problem.'" ""I mean, do the Yanks think we're mugs or what?"" "OK, this is the recording of Piers Kennedy in Hyde Park." "'.." "Western Europe could be annihilated.'" "And this is a recording of the man who appears to be leading the ambush on the warhead convoy." "'Put the gun down!" "'Put it down!" "Turn that thing off!" "'" "Sounds like a match." "As good as, given the recording quality." "Soldier, pacifist and now militant radical." "There's something else I noticed in that video." "For some reason, he takes his glove off and puts his hand on the warhead." "Now either he got careless in the heat of the moment, which is unlikely, given that he was an ex-Marine..." "Or getting caught was part of the plan." "Right." "Spence, can we play this video back to the point where the PC gets the gun?" "Put the gun down!" "Drop the gun!" "Put it down!" "Drop the gun!" "PUT THE GUN DOWN!" "Turn that thing off!" "He's dead." "Stop it there." "That's Murray." "Murray killed PC Nelson." "Yeah, but he didn't start the fight... ..this idiot did." "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "!" "But Murray finished it." "So we know who the two on the right are " "Piers Kennedy and Murray Stuart - so who are the other two?" "Well, given the posture and the gait," "I think our cameraman might be a camerawoman." "Ralph Palmer thought one of the gunmen he saw was a woman." "I had to give them something." "Silence was not an option." "They're not going to let this go now." "You realise this?" "Piers Kennedy created this mess, not me." "Oh, right." "OK." "Still punishing me then, are you?" "Would you have ever come back to me if he hadn't got...?" "Ralph." "Where's the harm in telling me now?" "Go on." "You'll feel better." "OK." "The first time I met Piers was at that fund-raiser at Hendon Town Hall, and you said," ""Why don't you get soldier boy into bed, bind him to the cause?"" "And I said, "What about us?" And you laughed richly and you said," ""We live in the shadow of the 'shroom cloud, my dear, so" ""let's eat, drink and rut like pigs for tomorrow we may be atomic dust."" "Did I say that?" "Yeah." "What a prick!" "♪ My Bonnie lies over the ocean" "♪ My Bonnie lies over the sea" "♪ My Bonnie lies over the ocean" "♪ Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me" "♪ Bring... ♪ PHONE RINGS" "Ok." "Thank you." "Grace?" "Yeah?" "We have a visitor." "Hello." "Oleg Leontyev." "The powers that be took it upon themselves to shield me from your interrogations." "How did you find us?" "Does it matter?" "Here I am." "You sound very impassioned." "Sure." "I was like a stalker." "If stalkers are denied access to their objects of desire, a pressure cooker situation arises." "Right, Dr Foley?" "Sometimes." "So was Piers Kennedy your object of desire?" "I loved him." "Absolutely." "He was...a lion." "A hero." "A friend." "But when he came back from The Falklands, he broke off all contact with us." "I almost got my head kicked in by a hundred thousand so-called peace activists." "HE SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY" "Well, I was there that day, but I can't recall kicking anyone's head in." "So Piers cut off all ties with you and the rally was the only way you could get in touch with him?" "Exactly." "Am I right in thinking, Mr Leontyev, that the KGB killed your parents?" "I don't know." "They took them away in the middle of the night and I never saw them again." "How old were you?" "12." "My aunt smuggled me to West Germany the following winter." "I didn't think you pacifists were bad people, or even Communists in disguise." "I just thought you were ignorant of the true meaning of tyranny." "So as a self-confessed stalker, it would be wanting of us if we didn't ask you where you were when Piers disappeared." "Washington DC." "After Cambridge I did a spell as research intern at the MoD." "A Russian in the MoD in the middle of the Cold War?" "Lord Christie pull any strings, by any chance?" "One or two." "The original investigation into Piers' death was a joke." "Ralph made an easy scapegoat, every copper on the case knew he was innocent." "You remain convinced Piers was murdered by MI5?" "His mere presence on the podium conferred a respectability and a legitimacy that the Right couldn't dismiss." "Here was someone who made it OK for Middle England to speak out against the bomb." "On top of that, you were in love with him." "That's his daughter, yes?" "It may astonish you to learn that we've put all that behind us." "The man in the mask is Piers Kennedy." "These pictures were culled from a videotape." "We've matched his voice against a recording of Piers' speech in Hyde Park." "It's him." "Now, what would Middle England have made of that?" "No!" "This is bullshit." "It's just another desperate attempt to discredit Piers." "Don't be too surprised, because you knew from Ralph that Piers was planning some direct action." "What?" "You didn't believe him?" ""Another desperate attempt to discredit Piers?"" "Or do you know it to be true because you were there that night?" "No." "Was the ambush your idea?" "Something you cooked up with Piers?" "I mean, you were pretty certain that one of these people was a woman." "The Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons was all about garnering mainstream support." "This stunt would have destroyed us overnight." "So what was Piers doing?" "!" "If this video evidence is real, if it actually happened, why is this the first time we're hearing about it?" "The Government hushed it up." "It doesn't matter." "..What was Piers doing?" "I have absolutely no idea." "Come on, Bonnie, you must've known." "You were in love with him, you were carrying his child, you spent every minute of the day with him." "How could you not have any idea what he was up to?" "I don't know." "But I didn't." "As chairwoman of the Armed Services Committee, I will fight tooth and nail to make sure that these cuts do not delay the completion of the Veterans' Hospital." "Thank you." "I should've called when they found Piers." "You're saving what's left of our national defence." "It's a good excuse." "No excuse." "Friendship first, always." "And you profoundly overstate my role." "That's not what my father says." "Well, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him." "I'm scared, Oleg." "Lucy Christie scared?" "No." "I don't believe it." "Do you think they killed him?" "Do you think the MoD police killed Piers?" "Are you serious?" "Come on, Oleg, look where they found his body, and if they killed him, why not Hugo?" "Hugo drowned." "The body was so decomposed they didn't know... what had happened." "Sorry." "It's just that Piers, my brother..." "I just miss them so much." "'What the hell do you think you're doing?" "!" "'" "PHONE RINGS" "Dr Eve Lockhart." "'Eve, the results of Piers Kennedy's bone analysis may be significant.'" "Thank you." "Piers." "Piers." "Hugo." "Hugo." "Shouldn't you actually just...?" "Who cares?" "This barbarian is already well and truly inside the gate." "Ha!" "Was that a smile I saw?" "The famous devastating Lucy Christie smile?" "It was, it was." "I've missed you, Oleg." "Nastarovia." "Nastarovia." "You remember?" "I do." "Scream and I'll break your neck, right?" "Where are you picking her up next?" "The car pool sent me, ma'am." "Vince was taken ill, food poisoning or something." "Shall we go?" "Yeah, that's it." "I had Piers' bones X-rayed." "They show punched-out lytic lesions where the bone's been destroyed." "I think he had myeloma." "Bone marrow disease?" "And it was quite advanced." "Why wasn't this picked up when he was in hospital after The Falklands?" "They wouldn't have been looking for it." "It's very unusual in someone that young and the underlying signs could've been missed or misdiagnosed." "Here's a thing" " Piers discharged himself from military hospital, he dumps Lucy in Portland, Maine." "A bit of a coincidence, but one of the best bone marrow centres in the world is in Portland, Maine." "So he finished with Lucy because he was going to die, and he wanted to set her free to live." "Yeah." "And he would've done back in '83 because the myeloma would've killed him." "There was no treatment for it then." "Does this explain his change of heart politically?" "Knowing his death was imminent, he had an..." "An epiphany?" "That's the word I'm looking for." "An epiphany." "It's not unusual in people who are facing up to their own mortality." "But to take up arms in the name of the peace movement would only have discredited it." "So, all right, from the get-go, this action's only outcome was to discredit the Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons." "Where are we going?" "Hello?" "Ok, so you're Piers, you come home from The Falklands with two bullet wounds and a terminal disease to find your country in thrall to nuclear disarmament." "Nearing tipping-point, in fact." "That's why he decides to act." "While he still has time." "His imminent death gives him a sense of freedom." "Being captured doesn't mean anything to him, does it?" "He can devote the rest of his days to wrecking the peace movement from within." "Like a suicide bomber - don't blink until the end." "So his intention is to stay in character as this reckless peace activist right through the high-profile trial?" "That's why he leaves the fingerprints." "Or was that the action that got him killed?" "Spotted by one of the others and they realised that it threatened their anonymity?" "And there's the dead man in the ditch to answer for." "There's no way Murray would harm Piers." "No, cos he didn't release the tape." "But he didn't destroy it either." "I mean, he was protecting Piers, protecting himself." "Right, so that brings us back to these two." "People with the same political bent, people he could trust." "One of these two who felt betrayed by that action and killed him." "October the 26th, 1983." "It's Murray... ..Piers' mate." "I'm the mug who killed the PC after that bastard started throwing punches." "Who was he?" "The lump?" "The hothead?" "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "!" "Making a statement." "I suggest you walk away now while you still have the chance." "Never married, have you?" "No-one compared to Piers." "No-one measured up." "Is it the money?" "Is that what you want?" "If I wanted to blackmail you, I would've done it years ago." "Who was he?" "The other guy?" "I killed a man for that prick and I never knew his name!" "It doesn't matter." "He's dead." "Bullshit!" "That bastard got Piers killed!" "He was my brother." "My twin brother." "And he's dead." "We're being followed, by the way." "That's the registration of the car." "I'm sure someone like you can check it out." "If my driver called the police, they'll be able to track this car by satnav." "Why were you there that night?" "You weren't in the peace movement." "Your dad was the bloody defence minister!" "We need to talk." "43, Lupus Mews in half an hour." "Go." "Go!" "Oleg, listen to me." "Hugo Christie and Lucy Christie were complicit with Piers and would've been exposed with him." "And each had a secondary motive to remove him." "The jilted girlfriend and the irate twin brother." "Exactly." "They were tight." "The gang of four which included Oleg." "So what was his role in this?" "He was at the MOD?" "Someone had to supply the classified convoy route." "He was only a researcher, though." "Would he have been rubbing shoulders with the right people?" "Daddy would've been." "CLINKING, THUD" "Lucy!" "Lucy?" "PHONE RINGS" "Hello?" "Grace?" "Murray." "You've seen the tape, right?" "You know what we did." "What I did." "Yes, yes, I do." "PHONE BEEPS" "What was that?" "Nothing." "Well, as of this afternoon," "I'm the only one still alive." "Now, so tell me I'm paranoid." "I didn't kill her, Grace." "Kill who?" "Lucy Christie!" "They're going to say I did, but it wasn't me!" "HE GASPS" "Do you believe me?" "Grace?" "!" "I don't know!" "Someone was following her." "It was a car." "I wrote down the registration number and I gave it to her and she put it in her pocket." "Murray, listen." "The worst thing you can do is run." "Do you hear me?" "That would be the worst thing." "The policeman...it was an accident." "The tape bears that out." "I don't care about saving my own skin..." "I just want to find out who killed Piers." "Murray, you have to give yourself up!" "Why?" "Why would you tell me to do that?" "Murray, don't run!" "Please, not again!" "Look, I believe you, OK, I believe you." "Can we meet up?" "Please?" "Murray!" "Croxted Park, Teddington..." "I'll be there in an hour." "I'll be by the pavilion." "Grace, you can't meet him, it's too dangerous." "Do you believe him?" "Do you?" "Yes." "That's good enough for me." "We need access to the crime scene." "You got a problem, take it up with MI5." "What have you got?" "OFFICER:" "See this?" "The suspect's on CCTV." "It's on my phone." "Guys?" "It seems someone abducted her driver and masqueraded as a replacement." "Take a look at this." "It's CCTV footage." "Murray Stuart." "Neighbour saw someone fitting his description fleeing the flat." "Sorry, sir." "I can't let you in." "This is my daughter!" "What do you mean I can't come in?" "!" "I own this building!" "She's my daughter, she's my little girl." "Lord Christie?" "I've lost them." "I've lost them both." "How could I do that?" "How could I lose them both?" "I mean, how can I tell their mother?" "How can I tell their mother we've lost them both?" "How can I tell her?" "HE SOBS" "When you're ready, we need to talk, sir." "We should call in the Firearms Unit." "Takes too long." "Too many questions." "Murray saying he didn't do it and Murray being innocent are too separate things." "What?" "Grace, if you're not happy being used as bait, then just say so." "She's right, Grace." "We can't guarantee your safety." "Look, I'm fine!" "Jesus Christ, Murray!" "When I came round she was lying there." "And I had this in my hand." "They set me up, Grace." "You believe me, don't you?" "Yes, of course." "They're probably watching us now." "Murray...give me the gun, please." "Why?" "Because...because you're scaring me." "You want my gun?" "You want me to give myself up?" "No, no." "I want to help you." "Are you working for them, Grace?" "There is no "them", Murray." "How did you find me?" "I'm not in the phone book and I'm not on bloody Facebook!" "Give me the gun, please, Murray!" "Murray, drop the gun!" "Grace!" "Grace!" "Stay down!" "Do it now!" "Stay down!" "Grace, are you all right?" "Stay down!" "You're sure?" "Yeah." "You're with them!" "You're with them!" "The bad news is, I work for the police." "The good news is that not all police are bad." "Which is why you haven't been handed over to the enquiry looking into the murder of Lucy Christie." "And why this tape hasn't been seen outside this office." "Not MI5, not the MoD, no-one." "We haven't got much time, Murray." "An MP has been murdered and you're the prime suspect, so, if you want to find out what happened to Piers Kennedy, now's your chance." "Now, Murray!" "You NEED to talk to us." "The plan was to send the tape to the media." "I thought it would damage the movement, make us... make us look like extremists." "But Piers' decision was final?" "How did you end up with the tape?" "HE SIGHS I didn't hear from him for a week, more." "I was worried, and then, finally, he called and we arranged to meet." "It was misguided." "Stupid." "Bonnie doesn't deserve to be sullied with something like this." "Nor does anyone else who stands up for peace." "You thought that all along, didn't you?" "Yeah." "But you went along with it anyway." "Bless you, Murray." "The police been to see you?" "No." "No, nor me." "And there's been nothing in the media." "Are they hushing it up?" "Like it never happened." "I feel bad about the copper." "It was an accident." "All right?" "And if they ever come knocking, this tape proves it." "It's the only reason I haven't destroyed it." "That was the last time I ever saw him." "Do you know this man?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "That was the prick who went for the PC." "How do you think Piers knew about the movements of the Cruise missile convoy?" "I don't know." "He said the less I knew, the better." "Did that include the identities of the other two?" "Yeah." "Yeah, it did, yeah." "MOBILE RINGS About 10 years later, I recognised the woman, Lucy Christie, on TV, after she became a Tory MP." "I just couldn't make sense of it." "This afternoon, she was dead when I got there." "I was trying to help her." "No-one will believe that, you know that, don't you?" "Boyd..." "The car he said was following Lucy Christie is registered to a private security company, Point Pleasant." "SAS rejects." "'He's dead!" "'" "THEY STOP THE RECORDING" "You were the Junior Defence Minister at the time." "Did you know there was a cover-up?" "Did you know Piers Kennedy led the ambush?" "Perhaps you knew your daughter, Lucy, shot this video and your son, Hugo, initiated the assault that led to the death of a policeman?" "You're completely insane." "It was an act of sabotage to discredit the peace movement." "Lord Christie, your daughter is dead, your son is dead," "Piers Kennedy is dead." "Now we believe the events documented on this tape are the reason for that." "'What the hell do you think you're doing?" "Making a statement!" "'" "SHE STOPS THE TAPE Is that or is that not the voices of Piers Kennedy and your son Hugo?" "Did you furnish them with the details of the movements of the Cruise missile convoy?" "Of course not." "Then how the hell did they know to lay the spike strip on this country lane on this particular night?" "I have no idea." "As a minister, I wasn't briefed on operational matters." "It doesn't quite work like that." "Is there anyone else in Lucy's circle of friends who worked at the MoD?" "What about Oleg Leontyev?" "Oleg..." "Before you gave him the job at Lucas Hoyt, you gave him the job at the MOD." "Right?" "Oleg..." "I always had a soft spot for Oleg." "Mind you, his nationality made him a tough sell at the MoD." "Was he in a position to organise the ambush?" "Lord Christie, this could be the reason your son and daughter are dead." "Oleg would never hurt Lucy." "Powerful man with a lot to lose." "Policeman died." "All those friends in high places, they would run a mile." "When...when Hugo drowned in the Lake District," "Oleg was supposed to go with him, but he cancelled at the last minute." "My point is..." "Well, my point is..." "Your point is, he knew where Hugo was going to be." "He worked for a Deputy Secretary at the MoD who was the London point man for the Cruise missile base at Bramley airfield." "Lucy said he was the brains of the gang." "It was all going according to plan, except once Piers burrowed himself into the Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons, all he did was shag Bonnie." "And attracted legions of fans every time he made a speech." "You were worried that Piers had gone over to the other side which is why you heckled him at Hyde Park." "To remind him the secret of his cover was definitely not safe in your hands, if he remained inactive one moment longer." "The mission was successful, very successful, beyond your wildest dreams." "but, after the ambush, Piers had reneged, he did not hand over the tape." "Where is the tape?" "I told you." "I destroyed it." "So you ambushed him and tortured him to make him give the tape back." "GUNSHOT" "This is all most entertaining." "And, after that failed, you murdered him." "And used your mod access to bury him under the Ministry of Defence." "I wish I could stay longer, but I have to patch up the nuclear defences of your once great country." "We've traced a car seen trailing Lucy Christie shortly before she died." "A company called Point Pleasant Bespoke Security." "I'm not hopeful for the paper trails or call records, wire transfer." "I'm assuming that you are far too, what can I call you, clever for that." "We were wondering what happened to this young man." "He believed in freedom, tolerance, transparency, justice." "He fought against tyranny, murder." "Is this where, my armour pierced," "I break down and get it all off my chest?" "What happened to the son of Boris and Irina Leontyev?" "Esteemed paediatric surgeon and professor of humanities at Moscow State." "Both disappeared because of their stand on human rights and freedom of speech." "Now, perhaps you could explain to me the difference in the Politburo calling in the KGB to kill your parents and you calling in Point Pleasant to kill Lucy Christie?" "This is an outrage." "Yes, it is." "You owed everything to John Christie and you murdered both his children, so whatever horrific fate your parents experienced at the hands of the KGB, at least they're not here to see what became of their only son." "Special Branch just called." "They want to pull the plug on the interview." "Everything OK?" "Sit down." "In case it helps with your enquiries," "I wasn't in the UK when Piers vanished." "I was fortunate enough to be part of an MoD delegation to the Pentagon." "I'm sure Lord Christie will be happy to verify." "'Where is the tape?" "' I told you." "I destroyed it." "Why?" "Then we killed a man for nothing." "No, Hugo, my friend killed a man to save your arse." "Your friend?" "Do you trust him?" "I've said everything I came to say." "Bye, Lucy." "What's happened to you, Piers?" "Does she know you're dying?" "Does she know she's making beds in a burning house?" "Step aside, Hugo." "Who am I talking to here?" "Captain Piers or Commie faggot Piers?" "I'm confused." "Let him go, Hugo." "He is not the man he was." "Not the man we loved and trusted." "You say you saw the same two men inside Lucy Christie's flat?" "Yeah." "Anyone here look familiar?" "Yeah." "Him." "And..." "This bloke here." "He picked out the same two men who work for Point Pleasant." "The two men you ID'd belong to the same security firm that the car was registered to." "They've been picked up." "What about the ambush?" "It never happened." "Officially." "It did, though." "Murray, you need to know this." "Piers used you." "The goal of the ambush was to bring down the peace movement." "It was an act of sabotage." "Did you have an inkling?" "Yeah." "After the ambush, Piers went dark." "I was scared, you know, I'd killed a man." "I went to see Bonnie." "I had a sense that she hadn't sanctioned it and I was right." "She didn't even know about it?" "Oh, yeah, she was horrified." "She was angry." "I always felt..." "I always felt bad, you know, that I'd gone behind Piers' back." "Where Piers was concerned, you were loyal to a fault." "I've got to go." "When this has blown over, I'll get in touch." "Don't say it if you don't mean it." "OK." "I take it back." "Shit." "Shit." "MOBILE RINGS 'It's Boyd." "Speak now.'" "Boyd." "It's me." "I heard the news, John." "I can't believe it." "Just can't believe it." "How were the negotiations?" "John?" "I gave you everything." "GUNSHOT Everything!" "GUNSHOT" "Grace!" "Call an ambulance!" "Boyd!" "Has she had any other falls recently?" "Yes." "Yes, she has." "Don't say anything." "I'm not going to." "Good." "VOICEMAIL: 'You have one new message'. 'Boyd." "It's me'." "'Look, Bonnie Yorke is lying to us." "'Murray told her about the ambush and she was furious." "'But she knew Piers was up to something 'and she was carrying his child." "'There's no way she wouldn't have confronted him." "'Look, I'll be back in half an hour, OK?" "Bye'." "Listen to this." "Well, some weird glue has kept their marriage together against all the odds, so why not a shared secret?" "Ralph would have done anything to win her back." "And he had proven knowledge of the river." "We know Piers wasn't killed there because there wasn't any blood and where he was killed there would've been copious amounts of blood." "MOBILE RINGS" "Yeah?" "All right." "Thank you." "Thank you for telling me." "She's just gone into surgery." "I'm going to the hospital." "It's a warrant to search your house." "On what grounds?" "On the grounds that you and your partner have systematically withheld information from us since 1983." "Hmm." "Nice old boards." "Funny, because they look like the kind of people who'd appreciate original features." "Yeah, I agree." "So why don't you rip this Swedish crap up?" "We've found a large bloodstain inside the house." "DNA will tell us whether it is Piers' blood, but that'll take some time." "I think, he deserves to know sooner than that." "He's waited long enough." "So..." "I killed him." "Ralph!" "You knew Piers was a mole, didn't you?" "You wouldn't have believed him even if he'd told you." "You would have put it down to a conspiracy theory, fuelled by jealousy." "But not all conspiracies are theories, are they, Ralph?" "No." "Show me, please." "Ralph..." "He was sitting at the kitchen table." "MY kitchen table." "Drinking tea out of MY mug." "I told him to get out, but for the sake of the movement, his treachery would remain a secret." "And, what did he do?" "Just laughed at me." "He told me I was a ridiculous man and I could do my worst." "I don't know what happened, but the next thing I knew... he was on the floor, and there was blood everywhere." "And I was holding a knife." "And he collapsed right here?" "Yes, right here." "Yes." "Eve, can you do your thing with the light, please?" "She finished phase one of the clear-up before you arrived." "She got the body to here." "No!" "No, I killed Piers Kennedy!" "She'd got his body this far, and that's man's work isn't it, Ralph?" "I've confessed." "What more do you want?" "!" "Ralph!" "No!" "'What the hell were you trying to do?" "!" "' We're just gaining mainstream support." "Are you trying to destroy everything we worked for?" "!" "That's exactly what I was trying to do." "Bonnie, when I tell you what I'm about to tell you, you must remember one thing." "I love you." "Whatever else I say, that love is real." "All right?" "What is it, Piers?" "What Murray told you is true." "We ambushed a nuclear convoy." "Oh..." "SHE GASPS" "But not for the reasons he thinks." "I did it to discredit the peace movement." "To bring it down." "I only started seeing you so I could manipulate my way into the campaign." "But I've had a change of heart." "A change of heart?" "Yes, a change of heart." "Bonnie, please...believe me." "I have never regretted anything more in my life." "I went to the doctor this morning." "Just to be sure." "You're inside me, Piers!" "YOU'RE INSIDE ME!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on." "Help me!" "What are you doing?" "Pointing suspicion away from you and me." "SHE SOBS" "SHE SOBS" "They've removed the clot and reduced the swelling." "Her condition's stable." "I'm sorry, Spence." "He's a good man and he's a brilliant detective but, as a boss, he's reckless, dangerous even." "But the incident with Grace Foley, it..." "It can't be allowed to happen again." "It can't." "Are you suggesting Detective Superintendent Boyd should be removed from his post?" "Yes." "Yes, I am." "'Maybe you're right." "'I mean, who am I kidding with this peace lark?"
