0:24:38 > 0:24:41Your Mr Gilroy, does he know?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Now would not be a good time to tell him.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Francis needs a holiday.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49I'm afraid that's your problem.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51I'm afraid it's yours.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53All right.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57You keep Gilroy on the rails, I'll make sure Stanfield backs off.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- NEWS:- 'And as the recently established Truth Commission

0:26:59 > 0:27:02'They don't want Gilroy's name mentioned.'
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I asked you to keep me out of this.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12- The federation can help you. - I won't lie.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- You can't use Gilroy's name. - Is that right?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17James, you're the one who recruited this boy.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Do you want that to be dragged into the open?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- BUZZING - Are you taping this?
0:27:22 > 0:27:23It's a phone, Alec. Stop it.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03I'd like to meet him.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05You probably wouldn't.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Sorry?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Wrong accent, wrong university, wrong shoes...
0:28:08 > 0:28:10This is absolute rubbish.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13I thought, Northern Ireland, I've escaped all of that,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16and then you pitch up, head of the truth police.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18I should have gone to Patagonia.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22I'm pleased you've found someone you love, who loves you,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- and I'd very much like to meet Alan. - Or Richard.- Stop it, please.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Oh, you love the abuse.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29I love you. The abuse I can live without.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Well, maybe you shouldn't have been off in the Congo reconciling
0:28:32 > 0:28:35a bunch of murderers when your wife was at home dying of cancer.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Your mother had thrown me out.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40You should have tried harder.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41She didn't want me there.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- I- wanted you there.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46I was doing it all on my own.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48How stupid are you?
0:28:55 > 0:28:57I need your help.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58You only need to ask.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Maria Roche, who you met...
0:29:00 > 0:29:02I can't discuss the tribunal.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05I don't want you to discuss it. I want you to help her.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Did she tell you what was in her letter?
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Well, I didn't ask her for specifics.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Should I have?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17I'll do whatever I can to help her.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19You'll listen to what she has to say?
0:29:19 > 0:29:23I'll try to give her the truth about her brother, that's my job.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Connor's obviously dead but not...
0:29:27 > 0:29:29They need the body home.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Yes.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32And they want those responsible to be named.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Naturally.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Do this for Maria. It'll mean a lot to her.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41And me.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Can I drop you somewhere?
0:29:52 > 0:29:54No, thanks.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55I'll call you.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Thomas...
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Come to bed.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04At the time, I believed the victim, Mr Lorimer,
0:31:04 > 0:31:08represented a legitimate target in that war.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18I deeply regret the hurt and pain caused to his family.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25I am very, very sorry
0:31:25 > 0:31:28and beg your forgiveness, Mrs Lorimer.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Thank you.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41Mrs Lorimer,
0:31:41 > 0:31:44would you like to make your final address?
0:31:55 > 0:31:56You...
0:31:59 > 0:32:00You...
0:32:00 > 0:32:02destroyed my life.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06My family.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11You murdered my man.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32You're sorry?! I don't want to hear the word "sorry"!
0:32:32 > 0:32:34You killed my man!
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Clear the chamber!
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Clear the chamber. Remove her from the chamber.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41SHE SCREAMS
0:32:41 > 0:32:44SHE SHOUTS AND SCREAMS
0:32:56 > 0:32:59I just realised what it is we're doing here.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Tell the chief constable that we need a larger security presence
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- in the chamber, will you? - Of course.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24CHORAL SINGING
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Not long till Christine's wedding now.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Two weeks, is it?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09What is it, Johnny?
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Connor Roche. The Truth Commission.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- Am I called?- No.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21But it could be trouble.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Who for?
0:34:23 > 0:34:24All of us.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26But you're the Minister now.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35Ricky, find out what that music is, will you?
0:34:44 > 0:34:46So, who HAS been called?
0:34:47 > 0:34:49We've found Michael Madden in Boston.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Madden?
0:34:51 > 0:34:53He was only a kid.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54He was there.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56And all his people are dead.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58He can accept responsibility
0:34:58 > 0:35:00and go back to the States as if nothing had happened.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Neither you nor I can do that.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- Was this your idea? - I've been instructed to protect you,
0:35:05 > 0:35:07to make sure the right things are said.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10You mean you're protecting yourself!
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Francis, keep your voice down.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18You're not planning some kind of a putsch, are you, Johnny?
0:35:18 > 0:35:22All I'm trying to do is to keep your name out of it.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24You cannot appear before that commission.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Just admitting you were there would be the end of you.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29The end of all of us.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33O Magnum Mysterium,
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Tomas Luis de Victoria, 1572.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44I won't have that modern script.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03LAUGHTER
0:36:03 > 0:36:07I don't like him calling me Frankie.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- And this bloody waistcoat. - You look great.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11I look like a clown.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13It's what Christine wants. We agreed.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- Hey, Da, are you ready?- >
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- We want to show you something.- >
0:36:17 > 0:36:19They're in high spirits.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22INDISTINCT COMMENTS AND LAUGHTER
0:36:22 > 0:36:24What do you think, Frankie?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26"Communities Minster shows
0:36:26 > 0:36:29"he hasn't forgotten his roots at daughter's wedding."
0:36:29 > 0:36:31I don't see the joke.
0:36:31 > 0:36:32No, neither do I.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Come on, Da. We're just pulling your leg.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39I don't see the fucking joke.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Christine, take the boys for a drink. And get rid of that thing.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Francis...
0:36:48 > 0:36:50What is wrong with me, Catherine?
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Only you know the answer to that.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58I better apologise.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- NEWS:- 'Henry Stanfield,
0:37:10 > 0:37:13'the recently appointed Truth Commissioner for Northern Ireland,
0:37:13 > 0:37:15'has called for stronger security measures
0:37:15 > 0:37:17'at the commission's hearings.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18'It follows an incident today
0:37:18 > 0:37:22'when the widow of murdered Edward Lorimer violently attacked
0:37:22 > 0:37:24'one of those who admitted to her husband's murder.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29'Mrs Lorimer launched herself on him after listening to his apology.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31'Mr Stanfield said the incident was regrettable
0:37:31 > 0:37:33'but perhaps understandable,
0:37:33 > 0:37:35'given the years of suffering
0:37:35 > 0:37:38'endured by many of the victims' families
0:37:38 > 0:37:40'who are appearing at the commission.'
0:37:48 > 0:37:50'Krystal's phone.'
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Um... May I speak with Krystal?
0:37:55 > 0:37:57'She's gone away.'
0:37:57 > 0:37:59I see. For how long?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01'Who's calling?'
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Thomas Tatless.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06'She won't be back any time soon. Do you have a message?'
0:38:07 > 0:38:08No.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Um... No, thank you.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40May I join you?
0:38:44 > 0:38:45No.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51I asked you not to meddle in this process,
0:38:51 > 0:38:54and you completely ignored me. And I know you are using Laura.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58Come on, Henry. She was hardly going to sleep with you.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07DRINK POURS
0:39:14 > 0:39:17What is it you are advising the PM on?
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Stability in the institutions,
0:39:19 > 0:39:22keeping an eye on the long-term objective, peace.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Usefully vague.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26And is she heeding your advice?
0:39:28 > 0:39:30So, how do you think the commission is going?
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Apart from yesterday's incident, not bad.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Unfortunate, that.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37Yes.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43The case of Connor Roche is soon to come before you.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48The Roches have asked you to expand the witness list.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Fully within the terms of my remit.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52No-one is disputing that.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53Good.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Did you tell Laura that calling Gilroy
0:39:56 > 0:39:59might be more truth than the PM had in mind?
0:39:59 > 0:40:03God, Henry. You can't account for every casual remark.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07- I'll take that as a yes.- When is your daughter's baby due by the way?
0:40:10 > 0:40:14I understand she and Maria Roche know one another.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26What's so special about Francis Gilroy?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29He is not responsible for Connor Roche's disappearance.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Yes, so Sinn Fein said. Do you take their word on that?
0:40:33 > 0:40:37We all want the Roches to have closure.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40It's such a stupid word, that, don't you think?
0:40:40 > 0:40:43So the man who actually pulled the trigger will attend
0:40:43 > 0:40:47the commission but it would be best if that were the end of it.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51What is it you don't want the world to know, Jake?
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Anything that might destabilise the extremely hard-won peace.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58The Roches deserve the truth.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00The truth is Gilroy may have been an idiot once
0:41:00 > 0:41:04but compared to most of them he's Mahatma Gandhi.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06The truth is he's one of the reasons most of us
0:41:06 > 0:41:09have enjoyed a bomb-free existence for ten years.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14The truth is none of us much fancies the alternative.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Is that your advice?
0:41:33 > 0:41:36You have a friend named Krystal.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Someone paid her to set you up
0:41:47 > 0:41:52but because my interest is stability in the institutions I intervened.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56- Intervened? - She works here illegally.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59She has a six-year-old son. She wasn't difficult to persuade.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04- Where is she?- That... You don't need to know.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09If she contacts you again or refers to these again she'll be deported.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Did you do this, Jake?
0:42:15 > 0:42:18With Gilroy's handlers. They are keen to make a point.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Well, it'll take more than a few embarrassing photographs to stop this commission.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Exactly what I told them, which is why we're not sitting here
0:42:25 > 0:42:28watching the live version of these on YouTube.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34Believe it or not, Henry, I am trying to save lives,
0:42:34 > 0:42:36not just protect reputations.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42But do try to be a little more careful with what
0:42:42 > 0:42:45passes for your sex life.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47For the commission's sake, if not your own.
0:43:11 > 0:43:15PHONE RINGS
0:43:21 > 0:43:24- Laura.- 'Some news. The police have had a change of heart.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27'They've offered up ex DI James Fenton though they're denying
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- 'he recruited Connor Roche.' - And Gilroy?
0:43:30 > 0:43:33'They've named the man they say shot Connor.'
0:43:33 > 0:43:35And it's not Francis Gilroy?
0:43:36 > 0:43:39'Someone called Michael Madden. Shall I tell the Roches?'
0:43:43 > 0:43:45No. Not yet.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49- You see much of Jake?- 'He phoned.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52'He said you and he had had a drink together.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55- 'He'd forgotten how much he enjoyed your company.'- That was kind of him.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58- 'I was quite jealous.' - Good night, Laura.
0:44:08 > 0:44:12- Mr Stanfield?- Sir.- It's all right, Beckett. Stay where you are.
0:44:19 > 0:44:24- My name is Fenton. - Yes, I know who you are.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26- What do you want? - Strike me from the list?
0:44:28 > 0:44:30That's not possible.
0:44:30 > 0:44:31I don't want to have to lie.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33So tell the truth.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35They're not going to let me tell the truth.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37They'd destroy me first.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42Please, Mr Stanfield.
0:44:44 > 0:44:48We all have to make our own choices, Mr Fenton.
0:44:48 > 0:44:49This is not my choice.
0:45:08 > 0:45:11I heard shots. I ran from the house.
0:45:14 > 0:45:18Seamus was lying there in the cold.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22Blood was pouring from his forehead.
0:45:28 > 0:45:32Two members of the UDA were convicted of his murder...
0:45:33 > 0:45:36..but released after the Good Friday Agreement.
0:45:38 > 0:45:42My family and I would like to hear what they have to say.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47Thank you, Mrs Benson.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01Jake, you told me Krystal was out of the equation
0:46:01 > 0:46:04and now she shows up at the tribunal. So what is this?
0:46:04 > 0:46:06Am I fighting on two fronts here?
0:46:06 > 0:46:08Because if you think this is the way to spare Gilroy's blushes,
0:46:08 > 0:46:12trust me, I'll make it a lot worse for him and for all of you
0:46:12 > 0:46:16than a few photos of me making a bloody fool of myself. Call me.
0:46:24 > 0:46:30- Mr Stanfield?- Yes, what is it? - I was in at the tribunal.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33If you don't mind me saying, you seem to be in a bit of a state.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38I'm not sure what was going on in there
0:46:38 > 0:46:40but I don't want my brother's hearing to be like that.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45How do you know Anna Connelly, the Sinn Fein lawyer?
0:46:45 > 0:46:48She came into the chamber just now with some other woman.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51I've met a lot of lawyers since I came here.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56Do you like the truth, Truth Commissioner?
0:46:57 > 0:47:01- Truth is rarely pure and... - And never simple. Yeah, I know.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05- But it's what gets me out of bed at the morning.- Yes, I can see.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08I'll make sure Anna Connelly will not humiliate my family
0:47:08 > 0:47:09even if you won't.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11I'll see to it that she won't.
0:47:32 > 0:47:33It's Henry Stanfield.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36I'd like to speak to Francis Gilroy.
0:47:46 > 0:47:50TANNOY ANNOUNCEMENT
0:48:02 > 0:48:06So, Michael, I was very sorry to hear about your mother.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09You'll be able to get me back?
0:48:09 > 0:48:12You do what we tell you, you'll be back in Boston before you know it.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48The salmon are back.
0:48:49 > 0:48:51That was a filthy pond when I was a boy.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55Do you know this woman?
0:48:57 > 0:49:00- No.- She turned up at the commission yesterday
0:49:00 > 0:49:03- with your Ms Connelly.- And?
0:49:12 > 0:49:16- No, I didn't think you knew. - This is not my doing. I'm sorry.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18Who's Madden?
0:49:19 > 0:49:23- He's nobody. He was a boy. - So why him?- He was there.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25And did he kill Connor?
0:49:27 > 0:49:29The Roches want a name. A guilty man.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32- That's what you promised them, isn't it?- They seem to want you.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Those photographs are for Jake Marston's benefit.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38- What does that mean? - They make it seem like
0:49:38 > 0:49:40they're serious about protecting me.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43- A man Dublin and London could deal with.- And?
0:49:45 > 0:49:48Some of my colleagues are protecting themselves.
0:49:48 > 0:49:52- If that's true, why don't you stop them?- I won't name names.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55I think you'll let Madden take the rap
0:49:55 > 0:49:57because it's the least worst option for you.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00I didn't kill Connor Roche, but you drag me
0:50:00 > 0:50:02before the commission, it'll be as if I did.
0:50:04 > 0:50:08No-one will benefit except those who replace me.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11How many times in how many countries have I heard that speech?
0:50:13 > 0:50:16You must do what you have to do, Mr Stanfield.
0:50:16 > 0:50:18I always knew my job was a poisoned chalice.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21What about yours?
0:50:26 > 0:50:28CAR ENGINE STARTS
0:50:34 > 0:50:36- Interesting.- He's old school.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39He won't be pleased about the photographs.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Send Mr Stanfield the other images.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50MOBILE PHONE BEEPS
0:51:09 > 0:51:11- 'Dad.'- Emma. - 'Dad, what's it? What's wrong?'
0:51:13 > 0:51:17- I'm sorry to wake you. - 'No, no, I was... What's wrong?'
0:51:18 > 0:51:22I... I just wanted to hear the sound of your voice.
0:51:22 > 0:51:26Make sure you're all right.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28- 'Well, I'm uncomfortable. I'm fine.' - Right.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33- Emma?- 'What is it, Dad?'
0:51:37 > 0:51:40It's...nothing.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44Goodnight.
0:52:02 > 0:52:07Prime Minister, I'm afraid I'm going to have to tender my resignation.
0:52:09 > 0:52:15I have a daughter who's moved here. She's pregnant, vulnerable.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18I cannot guarantee her safety.
0:52:21 > 0:52:25I realise your personal investment in this.
0:52:25 > 0:52:28Yes, you made it very plain. This is to be your legacy.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31Just let me try to explain.
0:52:32 > 0:52:37No, of course not. No, I haven't. Not yet.
0:52:39 > 0:52:43Yes. All right. All right.
0:52:54 > 0:52:56PHONE RINGS
0:53:01 > 0:53:02Yes, what is it?
0:53:02 > 0:53:06- Henry, are you all right? - What is it, Laura?
0:53:06 > 0:53:10I'm sorry to pressure you but you need to make a decision on Gilroy.
0:53:12 > 0:53:15You need to know now?
0:53:15 > 0:53:19Yes, the Roche case has been moved forward to Thursday.
0:53:23 > 0:53:25Hello.
0:53:30 > 0:53:35Take Gilroy off the list. Let's see what their star witness has to say.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39- You're sure?- Yes.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42OK. Sleep well.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47It's the right choice. Believe me.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56KNOCK ON DOOR
0:54:03 > 0:54:08- Is everything all right? Emma?- She's fine. There's a guard at the house.
0:54:08 > 0:54:12I know the men on duty. Very discreet. She's in good hands.
0:54:14 > 0:54:17I was told to give this to you. It was left at the commission for you.
0:54:21 > 0:54:25- Can I offer you a drink?- Thank you. But I'd better get back.
0:54:25 > 0:54:27- Good night, sir.- Goodnight.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55When we get there stay close to me.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58Keep your head up and look straight ahead.
0:54:58 > 0:55:00Keep everything for the commission.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04And remember, we're here for you, shoulder to shoulder.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22Maria Roche wants me to call the man responsible for Connor's death
0:55:22 > 0:55:24before the tribunal.
0:55:24 > 0:55:25Yes.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28I can't give the Roches what they want.
0:55:28 > 0:55:29Why not?
0:55:31 > 0:55:33Threats have been made.
0:55:33 > 0:55:35Threats?
0:55:35 > 0:55:37What kind of threats?
0:55:37 > 0:55:39They've made it plain that they could hurt you
0:55:39 > 0:55:42if I call Francis Gilroy.
0:55:42 > 0:55:43Gilroy?
0:55:44 > 0:55:45The Minister?
0:55:46 > 0:55:49- You have to call him.- Emma...
0:55:49 > 0:55:53I'm not risking you or my grandchild for a truth commission,
0:55:53 > 0:55:56- not even this truth commission. - See this as an opportunity, Dad.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59A chance to do something that matters
0:55:59 > 0:56:01for those you say matter to you.
0:56:01 > 0:56:03I won't make pointless grand gestures.
0:56:03 > 0:56:05OK, so when the truth doesn't suit you,
0:56:05 > 0:56:07it's a pointless grand gesture.
0:56:07 > 0:56:08You owe this to me.
0:56:08 > 0:56:10You owe it to my mum.
0:56:10 > 0:56:14And if you ever, ever hope to see him, you owe it to your grandchild.
0:56:16 > 0:56:18Do not pass up on this chance.
0:56:18 > 0:56:19There won't be another.
0:56:28 > 0:56:31Michael and I have been working on the events that led
0:56:31 > 0:56:33to the unfortunate death of Connor Roche.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36Michael?
0:56:42 > 0:56:46Connor was passing information about Republicans to the police.
0:56:46 > 0:56:47He'd been seen with the Special Branch
0:56:47 > 0:56:51so he was to be taken over the border and questioned about it.
0:56:51 > 0:56:55I drove the car for two other volunteers, now dead.
0:56:57 > 0:57:00He was crying, but no-one heard him.
0:57:00 > 0:57:04He freely admitted what he had been doing.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06It was decided to set up a press conference
0:57:06 > 0:57:08where he'd describe how he was recruited by the police
0:57:08 > 0:57:10and passed information.
0:57:10 > 0:57:16But early next morning, he somehow managed to climb out a window.
0:57:16 > 0:57:17I was supposed to be watching him.
0:57:17 > 0:57:20I had a gun.
0:57:20 > 0:57:22I panicked, I chased after him into the woods.
0:57:24 > 0:57:27I shouted after him that he'd get me in big trouble,
0:57:27 > 0:57:28not to be stupid.
0:57:29 > 0:57:33All of a sudden, he was on top of me, punching and kicking me.
0:57:33 > 0:57:35I was on the ground.
0:57:35 > 0:57:36I tried to push him off.
0:57:38 > 0:57:41But he gets hold of the gun...
0:57:41 > 0:57:43He was trying to wrestle it off me.
0:57:43 > 0:57:45And then...
0:57:45 > 0:57:47- I don't know how... - GUNSHOT ECHOES
0:57:47 > 0:57:50..but the gun went off.
0:57:50 > 0:57:51And he stopped moving.
0:57:54 > 0:57:56It was a terrible accident.
0:57:56 > 0:58:00I'm sorry for what happened to Connor. I'm truly sorry.
0:58:05 > 0:58:06Very good, Michael.
0:58:07 > 0:58:10Can you let me have a copy of that, please, Anna?
0:58:23 > 0:58:28I had no idea they'd put so much pressure on you not to call Gilroy.
0:58:28 > 0:58:30I'm sorry if I...
0:59:05 > 0:59:07Where's Francis Gilroy?
0:59:09 > 0:59:10They sent him instead.
0:59:12 > 0:59:13Sure, he was only a child himself.
0:59:18 > 0:59:21- (They're not sending Francis Gilroy. - What's going on?)
0:59:25 > 0:59:28I'd ask everyone to stand in silent memory of all those
0:59:28 > 0:59:30who lost their lives in the conflict.
0:59:58 > 0:59:59Thank you.
1:00:06 > 1:00:10I'll begin by asking Maria Roche if she would tell us
1:00:10 > 1:00:14about the events leading up to her brother Connor's disappearance.
1:00:26 > 1:00:30When Connor disappeared, he was 15 years old.
1:00:30 > 1:00:32It was a Thursday night.
1:00:32 > 1:00:35He said he was going down to the boxing club.
1:00:35 > 1:00:36He didn't come home.
1:00:37 > 1:00:40When another day passed, we went to the police.
1:00:40 > 1:00:44They told us they believed he'd been abducted by the IRA.
1:00:45 > 1:00:48A few days later, word reached us.
1:00:48 > 1:00:51A neighbour said that Connor had been supplying information
1:00:51 > 1:00:54to the police and that he'd confessed it all,
1:00:54 > 1:00:55that it was all on tape.
1:00:58 > 1:01:00How could Connor work for the police?
1:01:00 > 1:01:02What did he know about anything?
1:01:05 > 1:01:09Years went by and nobody was able or willing to tell us anything.
1:01:11 > 1:01:13It was as if he never existed.
1:01:15 > 1:01:19But we have a right to know, to have his body back where he belongs.
1:01:25 > 1:01:27Thank you, Miss Roche.
1:01:32 > 1:01:33The commission calls James Fenton.
1:01:51 > 1:01:54Please state your name and your connection with the case.
1:01:54 > 1:01:57James Fenton, Detective Inspector.
1:01:57 > 1:01:59Special Branch, RUC.
1:01:59 > 1:02:00Retired.
1:02:02 > 1:02:05When did you first encounter Connor Roche?
1:02:07 > 1:02:11I can't remember the exact date, but towards the end of January 1992.
1:02:14 > 1:02:17Connor was suspected of involvement in petty crime,
1:02:17 > 1:02:19making a nuisance of himself.
1:02:21 > 1:02:23So we picked him up.
1:02:23 > 1:02:24He denied any wrongdoing.
1:02:25 > 1:02:28We had no evidence, so we...
1:02:29 > 1:02:32We gave him a word of warning and sent him on his way.
1:02:33 > 1:02:36And when did you hear he was missing?
1:02:36 > 1:02:38May 13th.
1:02:38 > 1:02:40His mother came to the station.
1:02:46 > 1:02:48No trace of Connor was found.
1:02:49 > 1:02:53Sometime later, we learned that he had been abducted by the IRA.
1:02:55 > 1:02:59And do you know the identity of those who abducted Connor?
1:03:00 > 1:03:01No.
1:03:08 > 1:03:12Is there anything further you might be able to add, Mr Fenton?
1:03:12 > 1:03:15I'd like you to think carefully before you answer.
1:03:19 > 1:03:21I'm afraid not, no.
1:03:28 > 1:03:30A moment, Mr Fenton.
1:03:30 > 1:03:32I think Miss Roche has some questions.
1:03:40 > 1:03:43I want to play a recording relevant to the case.
1:03:43 > 1:03:45We had no prior knowledge of this.
1:03:47 > 1:03:49Miss Roche...
1:03:49 > 1:03:53is this recording of legitimate concern to this hearing?
1:03:53 > 1:03:54It is.
1:03:54 > 1:03:58It was given to me by someone involved in Connor's abduction.
1:03:58 > 1:03:59Proceed.
1:04:06 > 1:04:09My mother has identified this as Connor's voice.
1:04:14 > 1:04:16- TAPE:- 'Name?
1:04:16 > 1:04:17'Connor Roche.
1:04:19 > 1:04:22'If you ever want to see your mother again,
1:04:22 > 1:04:26'you're going to tell me who, when,
1:04:26 > 1:04:30'where, how often and why.
1:04:30 > 1:04:32'Am I clear?
1:04:34 > 1:04:36'Why did you do it?
1:04:36 > 1:04:38'They said they'd get me shot if I didn't tight for them.
1:04:38 > 1:04:40'How often did you meet them?
1:04:41 > 1:04:42'Twice a week.
1:04:43 > 1:04:45'What were their names?
1:04:45 > 1:04:46'Inspector Fenton.
1:04:48 > 1:04:50'And DS Briggs.
1:04:50 > 1:04:51'Where did you meet them?
1:04:51 > 1:04:55'They'd pick me up in Belfast and we'd drive.
1:04:55 > 1:04:56'And?
1:04:56 > 1:04:58'If I didn't give them information, they said they'd drop me
1:04:58 > 1:05:01'where people would be waiting to give me a head job.
1:05:05 > 1:05:07'Did they pay you?
1:05:07 > 1:05:08- 'TEARFULLY: - I didn't do it for money.
1:05:10 > 1:05:12'What did you do it for?'
1:05:12 > 1:05:14SOBBING ON TAPE
1:05:15 > 1:05:17'Cos I was scared.
1:05:18 > 1:05:22'They kept saying what would happen if I didn't help them.
1:05:24 > 1:05:26'I didn't do it for money.
1:05:27 > 1:05:28'I'm telling the truth.
1:05:32 > 1:05:33'Can I go home now?'
1:05:35 > 1:05:37SNIFFLING ON TAPE
1:05:38 > 1:05:39'Can I go home now?!'
1:05:48 > 1:05:52Mr Fenton, isn't it true that Connor was working for you?
1:05:52 > 1:05:55I didn't say any of those things to Connor.
1:05:55 > 1:05:57Is it true that Connor was working for the police?
1:06:05 > 1:06:07We needed information to protect lives.
1:06:08 > 1:06:11So you used Connor to gather that information?
1:06:13 > 1:06:17We met him from time to time, in the same way we met many people.
1:06:17 > 1:06:19How many times did you meet him?
1:06:20 > 1:06:22Perhaps half a dozen.
1:06:23 > 1:06:25I can't remember exactly.
1:06:25 > 1:06:26And you paid him?
1:06:28 > 1:06:30Small amounts.
1:06:30 > 1:06:31Not very much.
1:06:31 > 1:06:35So what are we talking about? Five or ten pounds? More?
1:06:36 > 1:06:38I think it was mostly about £10.
1:06:40 > 1:06:42He just wanted to talk as much as anything.
1:06:44 > 1:06:45We were like...
1:06:48 > 1:06:49..friends.
1:06:51 > 1:06:54Connor said he was forced to supply information.
1:06:54 > 1:06:57No-one threatened him or said that he was going to be shot.
1:06:57 > 1:06:59So why do think he said those things?
1:06:59 > 1:07:00He was frightened.
1:07:02 > 1:07:04He was just telling them what they wanted to hear.
1:07:04 > 1:07:07Mr Fenton, you were aware of Connor's age?
1:07:07 > 1:07:10Look, I don't think you understand what we were having to deal with.
1:07:10 > 1:07:13- I understand that you were dealing with a child.- Miss Roche...
1:07:13 > 1:07:16Please let Mr Fenton finish what he was saying.
1:07:19 > 1:07:22If you weren't there, if you hadn't lived through it...
1:07:22 > 1:07:24you can't understand what it was like.
1:07:24 > 1:07:26Things were falling apart.
1:07:28 > 1:07:31When you reported for duty,
1:07:31 > 1:07:34you never knew what you might be having to deal with.
1:07:35 > 1:07:40Police officers were handed caseloads of 200, 250 murders.
1:07:40 > 1:07:42Working on them for a couple of months
1:07:42 > 1:07:45before they themselves were murdered. We were in a war.
1:07:46 > 1:07:48Things happened that...
1:07:50 > 1:07:51..that shouldn't happen.
1:07:58 > 1:08:00I want to say that I regret...
1:08:01 > 1:08:04..deeply what happened.
1:08:04 > 1:08:05I'm very sorry.
1:08:05 > 1:08:07Thank you for that.
1:08:07 > 1:08:11But you were aware of the fate of so-called informers, weren't you?
1:08:17 > 1:08:18Yes.
1:08:19 > 1:08:23Did he supply you with any information you considered useful?
1:08:26 > 1:08:27No.
1:08:30 > 1:08:33So a boy lost his life supplying meaningless information
1:08:33 > 1:08:35in exchange for petty cash?
1:08:43 > 1:08:44No further questions.
1:08:46 > 1:08:48I didn't kill Connor.
1:08:48 > 1:08:51I'm not the person who killed him.
1:08:51 > 1:08:52Thank you, Mr Fenton.
1:08:55 > 1:08:57There will be a five minute recess.
1:09:07 > 1:09:09Did you know about the recording?
1:09:10 > 1:09:12Yes, I did.
1:09:12 > 1:09:14Why didn't you say?
1:09:14 > 1:09:16Honestly?
1:09:16 > 1:09:18Because I couldn't be sure who you might tell.
1:09:25 > 1:09:28MAN RETCHING AND COUGHING
1:09:33 > 1:09:35TOILET FLUSHES
1:09:42 > 1:09:46- TANNOY:- 'Michael Madden to the Commission Chamber, please.'
1:09:55 > 1:09:57It wasn't your fault.
1:10:09 > 1:10:12That's what happens when you don't stick to the script.
1:10:12 > 1:10:14We've had enough surprises for one day,
1:10:14 > 1:10:16so just keep it nice and simple.
1:10:21 > 1:10:24The commission calls Michael Madden.
1:10:53 > 1:10:55Would you please state your name
1:10:55 > 1:10:57and your connection to the case?
1:10:59 > 1:11:00My name's Michael Madden.
1:11:07 > 1:11:09Mr Madden?
1:11:27 > 1:11:28My name is Michael Madden.
1:11:30 > 1:11:33I joined the IRA when I was 17.
1:11:34 > 1:11:36Made me feel big.
1:11:36 > 1:11:39But I wasn't big. I was an idiot.
1:11:39 > 1:11:41A message boy.
1:11:43 > 1:11:45In May 1992...
1:11:45 > 1:11:50I drove Connor and two volunteers to a farm across the border,
1:11:50 > 1:11:53in County Monaghan.
1:11:53 > 1:11:56Connor was dragged into the house and tied to a chair.
1:11:56 > 1:11:59And one of the men began to beat him.
1:11:59 > 1:12:01Badly.
1:12:04 > 1:12:06HE GASPS
1:12:06 > 1:12:08HE SOBS
1:12:08 > 1:12:10Phone calls were made to Belfast.
1:12:12 > 1:12:16It was decided that we'd make a tape of him admitting what he'd done.
1:12:17 > 1:12:21He was told after he'd made the tape he'd make a press statement.
1:12:21 > 1:12:24And then it would all be over.
1:12:26 > 1:12:30A couple of hours later, another man arrived from Belfast.
1:12:31 > 1:12:34When he saw the state that Connor was in,
1:12:34 > 1:12:37there was a real bust-up with the interrogator,
1:12:37 > 1:12:40who was shouting we were all soft in Belfast
1:12:40 > 1:12:43and too interested in looking good to get our hands dirty.
1:12:46 > 1:12:48Connor was to be kept for a couple of days
1:12:48 > 1:12:52until he mended up and could go back for the press conference.
1:12:54 > 1:12:57But some time around dawn,
1:12:57 > 1:12:58he escaped.
1:13:01 > 1:13:04The commander was screaming at us to find him.
1:13:04 > 1:13:06I was supposed to be keeping watch
1:13:06 > 1:13:08so I panicked.
1:13:10 > 1:13:11I ran into the woods.
1:13:13 > 1:13:15But Connor jumped me.
1:13:17 > 1:13:18He was wild.
1:13:18 > 1:13:20Kicking and punching.
1:13:20 > 1:13:22He was strong.
1:13:22 > 1:13:25He got on top of me.
1:13:25 > 1:13:26Pinning me down.
1:13:26 > 1:13:28But then...
1:13:31 > 1:13:32..there was a shot.
1:13:34 > 1:13:36Connor stopped struggling.
1:13:38 > 1:13:40He collapsed on top of me.
1:13:41 > 1:13:44There was arguing about what had happened.
1:13:44 > 1:13:46It wasn't meant to happen.
1:13:46 > 1:13:48The two senior men were standing there...
1:13:49 > 1:13:51..and one had a gun.
1:13:55 > 1:13:57Michael...
1:13:57 > 1:13:59tell us now who killed Connor.
1:14:17 > 1:14:18Francis Gilroy killed Connor.
1:14:22 > 1:14:24Please remain calm.
1:14:24 > 1:14:25Order, please.
1:14:25 > 1:14:27Order in the chamber.
1:14:27 > 1:14:29Order!
1:14:30 > 1:14:33Call Francis Gilroy.
1:14:33 > 1:14:35HE MOUTHS
1:14:38 > 1:14:41The commission calls Francis Gilroy.
1:14:45 > 1:14:47PHONE RINGS
1:14:49 > 1:14:51Anna, how did it go?
1:14:56 > 1:14:58Right.
1:15:02 > 1:15:04He actually named Francis?
1:15:05 > 1:15:07I'll call you back.
1:15:07 > 1:15:08Frankie!
1:15:08 > 1:15:11REPORTERS CLAMOUR
1:15:35 > 1:15:37Listen carefully.
1:15:37 > 1:15:39You've got to get out of the house. Get Alan to take you...
1:15:39 > 1:15:42'No, stop. We're not in the house, Dad. We're at the hospital.
1:15:42 > 1:15:44- 'The baby came early.'- What?
1:15:44 > 1:15:47- 'I've had the baby.' - Where are you?
1:15:47 > 1:15:49'The Ulster Hospital.'
1:15:49 > 1:15:51That's good. That's very good. Don't move from there.
1:15:51 > 1:15:53'Relax, Dad. I'm not moving.'
1:15:53 > 1:15:56OK. OK. I'll be right with you.
1:16:05 > 1:16:06You didn't shoot him?
1:16:09 > 1:16:11But you did order his abduction?
1:16:16 > 1:16:18And you know who did shoot him?
1:16:22 > 1:16:23But you won't say who.
1:16:28 > 1:16:32Well, whoever pulled the trigger, Roche had it coming.
1:16:34 > 1:16:36It was a war.
1:16:36 > 1:16:38Pull yourself together.
1:16:38 > 1:16:40Move on.
1:16:42 > 1:16:45Christine wants me to look at seating plans.
1:16:45 > 1:16:47DOOR OPENS
1:16:50 > 1:16:53And there's someone here to talk to you.
1:16:59 > 1:17:01Francis.
1:17:02 > 1:17:04You know why I'm here.
1:17:04 > 1:17:06You're here because you think this is your moment.
1:17:12 > 1:17:16I'm here to rescue your politically embarrassing situation.
1:17:16 > 1:17:18And because you think I won't tell Stanfield
1:17:18 > 1:17:21- it was you shot Roche. - That'll hardly save you.
1:17:21 > 1:17:24- Might save the party. - It's too late now.
1:17:24 > 1:17:27Oh. So, what's it to be?
1:17:27 > 1:17:28Back to all-out war?
1:17:28 > 1:17:32Let's just say we'll put a little more backbone into the struggle.
1:17:32 > 1:17:34Backbone?!
1:17:34 > 1:17:36Like shooting 15-year-old boys?
1:17:36 > 1:17:38He was an informer.
1:17:41 > 1:17:43Whereas you're not, Francis.
1:17:43 > 1:17:45It's not in your DNA.
1:17:49 > 1:17:51It'll stop here with me
1:17:51 > 1:17:54but I want Madden left out of it.
1:17:54 > 1:17:56Always the hero, Francis.
1:17:56 > 1:17:58Madden wasn't to know.
1:17:58 > 1:18:01Useless prick couldn't even get a simple confession right.
1:18:01 > 1:18:04It was only luck he named you and not me.
1:18:04 > 1:18:06Yeah, lucky, that(!)
1:18:15 > 1:18:17I can make this difficult for you.
1:18:17 > 1:18:18Let him go.
1:18:21 > 1:18:23You go quietly,
1:18:23 > 1:18:26I'll see to it Madden goes unharmed.
1:18:30 > 1:18:32Your statement's been written.
1:18:41 > 1:18:42'Yes?'
1:18:42 > 1:18:44Have you got him?
1:18:44 > 1:18:45'We got him.'
1:18:45 > 1:18:46Well done.
1:18:46 > 1:18:48Now let him go.
1:18:49 > 1:18:51Can I ask why?
1:18:51 > 1:18:53'Because I say so.'
1:18:54 > 1:18:56Is that understood?
1:18:56 > 1:18:58'Understood.'
1:18:59 > 1:19:01Satisfied?
1:19:03 > 1:19:04Be ready in an hour.
1:19:17 > 1:19:20He's beautiful.
1:19:22 > 1:19:23Tom.
1:19:23 > 1:19:25Hmm.
1:19:25 > 1:19:27Your grandfather's name.
1:19:28 > 1:19:29How was it today?
1:19:29 > 1:19:31Gilroy?
1:19:31 > 1:19:36I don't think Maria and her family got what they wanted.
1:19:36 > 1:19:37You called Gilroy after all?
1:19:40 > 1:19:41I knew you'd help.
1:19:46 > 1:19:48Would you like to hold him?
1:20:11 > 1:20:13PHONE RINGS
1:20:13 > 1:20:16Oh, sorry.
1:20:21 > 1:20:23Yeah?
1:20:24 > 1:20:27Excuse me, I have to take this.
1:20:37 > 1:20:43Congratulations! Becky told me the good news, Grandad.
1:20:43 > 1:20:46You don't think I had anything to do with Madden's performance?
1:20:46 > 1:20:49Not I. Others are less sure.
1:20:49 > 1:20:52So, what now?
1:20:52 > 1:20:55Despite today's catastrophe, amazingly,
1:20:55 > 1:21:00the feeling is it was a minor setback.
1:21:00 > 1:21:02Or a minor triumph.
1:21:02 > 1:21:05Oh, Henry. You get to call Gilroy.
1:21:05 > 1:21:08He'll resign, they'll replace him with someone less able
1:21:08 > 1:21:09and more belligerent.
1:21:09 > 1:21:12All because the Roches had to have the truth.
1:21:12 > 1:21:15- The truth is Gilroy is guilty. - Gilroy is not guilty.
1:21:15 > 1:21:19- I pleaded with you not to call him. - Why would Madden lie?
1:21:21 > 1:21:23Thought he was telling the truth.
1:21:23 > 1:21:29- What?- Who was it convinced the Roches that Gilroy shot Connor?
1:21:29 > 1:21:35Tried to blackmail you, forced Madden to take the rap.
1:21:35 > 1:21:38Rafferty isn't protecting Gilroy, he's protecting himself.
1:21:38 > 1:21:42He'll be bossing it from here on in. New Sinn Fein minister.
1:21:42 > 1:21:45I've already told the PM I want to resign. I have to get out of this.
1:21:45 > 1:21:47No, you're not washing your hands of this one, Henry.
1:21:47 > 1:21:49All sides are agreed.
1:21:49 > 1:21:54It was entirely my fault for letting Rafferty lead me by the nose.
1:21:54 > 1:21:57Stanfield is still the best man for the job.
1:21:58 > 1:22:03PM, pathological optimist, wants you to put this all behind you.
1:22:03 > 1:22:05I wouldn't disappoint her a second time.
1:22:12 > 1:22:15Following the serious revelations concerning a member
1:22:15 > 1:22:19of the power-sharing executive, both the Taoiseach and I are here
1:22:19 > 1:22:22tonight to reaffirm our commitment to the Truth Commission.
1:22:24 > 1:22:27And to offer our thanks to Henry Stanfield
1:22:27 > 1:22:32who hasn't shrunk from his task in doing what is necessary,
1:22:32 > 1:22:36however painful or politically challenging, in offering
1:22:36 > 1:22:41the truth to a community which has too long waited for answers.
1:22:43 > 1:22:50For those who have inflicted pain, for those who have endured pain,
1:22:50 > 1:22:56the truth can, and will, lead to healing,
1:22:56 > 1:22:59and a lasting peace.
1:22:59 > 1:23:00Thank you.
1:23:02 > 1:23:05APPLAUSE
1:23:28 > 1:23:30CAR HORN BEEPING
1:23:40 > 1:23:41No, wait.
1:23:47 > 1:23:50Mr Stanfield, do you have a moment please?
1:23:57 > 1:24:00Open the door, Beckett.
1:24:15 > 1:24:18You have something to say to me?
1:24:22 > 1:24:25EXPLOSION
1:24:32 > 1:24:35From now on, you might think twice about digging up a past
1:24:35 > 1:24:40that you don't understand and that doesn't concern you.
1:24:40 > 1:24:41Like Gilroy?
1:24:41 > 1:24:44Unfortunately, Francis had to be got rid of
1:24:44 > 1:24:46so we got you to do it for us.
1:24:47 > 1:24:49Nothing personal, you understand.
1:24:51 > 1:24:53I'll not give up!
1:25:07 > 1:25:12'In the light of recent accusations made before the Truth Commission,
1:25:12 > 1:25:14'it's with a heavy heart that
1:25:14 > 1:25:17'I have decided to stand down from my position as Minister
1:25:17 > 1:25:21'in a government which I fought long and hard to bring into being.
1:25:21 > 1:25:25'This has been an extremely difficult decision.
1:25:25 > 1:25:28'And though I completely reject the accusations made,
1:25:28 > 1:25:33'the credibility of our party is, and always has been, paramount.
1:25:35 > 1:25:39'So I stand aside, confident that those who replace me
1:25:39 > 1:25:42'will not waver in the struggle for a united Ireland,
1:25:42 > 1:25:47'without which, this country can never fully be at peace.
1:25:48 > 1:25:51- 'REPORTER:- Do you know where Connor's buried, Mr Gilroy?'
1:25:59 > 1:26:02'Recent weeks have shown that there are those with the courage
1:26:02 > 1:26:06and common humanity to face the consequence of their actions.
1:26:06 > 1:26:09'The bombing of the Commission has shown that there are those
1:26:09 > 1:26:12'who feel threatened by that courage
1:26:12 > 1:26:15'and will do all in their power to suppress the truth.
1:26:17 > 1:26:20'But the Commission will continue its pursuit of the truth,
1:26:20 > 1:26:24'however inconvenient, not because we want to dwell in the past,
1:26:24 > 1:26:28'but so that our children and grandchildren
1:26:28 > 1:26:30'will be free of the past.
1:26:31 > 1:26:32'Thank you.'
