0:00:17 > 0:00:19Isabella...
0:00:26 > 0:00:29I put it to you, Detective Chief Inspector, isn't every
0:00:29 > 0:00:33single detail of your testimony against these dedicated
0:00:33 > 0:00:37and highly decorated officers just fabrication?
0:00:37 > 0:00:40You worked with these men for five years.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43You know that there was no corruption,
0:00:43 > 0:00:49there was no money in brown envelopes or deals done in smoke-filled rooms.
0:00:49 > 0:00:56Isn't your testimony just the last desperate croakings of a disillusioned rebel?
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- No.- Oh. No more questions.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Why?
0:01:05 > 0:01:06I'm sorry, sir?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Over 30 years on the force.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10You could've retired quietly in a couple of weeks.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15And yet you stand here, open to public ridicule and humiliation,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17risking your reputation.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Why?- I'm a police officer.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29When my wife...
0:01:41 > 0:01:45When my wife died, I was going to retire.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51But Isabella, she always said,
0:01:51 > 0:01:55my duty is my life.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58No more questions.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Don't scab labour!- Unite, fight!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Don't scab labour!- Unite, fight!
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Here they come, don't let them through!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Don't let those union scabs take your jobs!
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Scab! Scab!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45You can't just leave us!
0:02:45 > 0:02:46We've got to get in there and get paid.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50I'm in the transport union. I'm not crossing a picket line.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Come on. Just get us through.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Please.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05In Newcastle, angry scenes at the Bateson-Donnelly dispute.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08It's been six weeks since the management fired workers
0:03:08 > 0:03:10who refused to give up their union membership
0:03:10 > 0:03:13and replaced them with casual labour.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Bateson-Donnelly claim their
0:03:14 > 0:03:16non-union workers are being subjected
0:03:16 > 0:03:19to a campaign of intimidation,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22while unions complain of heavy-handed police tactics.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Don't let them take your jobs! Solidarity!
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Dirty scabs!- Scumbags!
0:03:33 > 0:03:36SHOUTING AND INSULTS CONTINUE
0:03:46 > 0:03:49HE GASPS
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Guilty. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Yes, defeat at the election for my party was a bitter blow -
0:04:11 > 0:04:13for the party, for the country,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15and the Defence Secretary Mr Healey, wasn't it, Dennis?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- IMITATES DENIS HEALEY:- Yes, it was very bitter.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I felt it bitterly, admittedly.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22As Defence Secretary I was ensuring the safety of this country
0:04:22 > 0:04:25by developing intercontinental ballistic eyebrows!
0:04:26 > 0:04:29What other country in the world would let comedians make
0:04:29 > 0:04:30fun of its war heroes?
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Healey...made the beaches at Anzio, you know.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I do. Italy was hard graft.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39You were there?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Eighth army. Taranto to Bologna.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I resent people called Harold, I can't think why.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- LAUGHTER - And I do like Mr Heath,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49there's something about him.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I think it's cos he looks like my horse.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Prime Minister, I am so sorry.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58He's just a dirty old man who can't keep his mouth shut.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I'm sure you know the type.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02On behalf of the special investigations unit,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05the new commissioner's asked me to thank you.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08He appreciates and admires what you've done.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17This is a new decade, a new regime at The Yard.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19The battle we won today is only the start.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I want you to know that.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27What else do you want from me, Ian?
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Hmm.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38I'd appreciate it if you'd meet me here.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Tomorrow morning, say 9:15am?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48What's wrong with Scotland Yard?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Prying eyes and ears, you know.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Union jobs! - For Union workers!
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Union jobs! - For Union workers!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Union jobs! - For Union workers!
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Why are they still here?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Bastards won't disperse and let us do our job.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04They're saying we're using this as an excuse to break up their protest.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06I don't have enough men for this job.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Look, I'm sorry, but it's not my department, all right?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Sir, crime scene's looking messy.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17We're not hopeful of getting much.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20His name's Jonny Wilson. But nobody knows much about him.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Well, it's ever since the company fired all of its union men,
0:06:22 > 0:06:26him and his workers have been brought in from all over the country.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Great. There's about 200 suspects, isn't there?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Yeah, I know. - Has the press been here?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Every day for the last six weeks.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I'll get onto the papers. See what pictures they've got.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Who's the chief commie here?- Him. Owen Thompson, with the red scarf.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Him? Right.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Here they come! Here they come!
0:06:51 > 0:06:53They have fit up-starts now, eh?
0:06:54 > 0:06:55I don't know what you're implying.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I'm asserting you and your uniformed henchmen,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01as representative instruments of the capitalist society of...
0:07:01 > 0:07:04All right, all right, all right. I want these men cleared. Someone is dead.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- A scab.- That man has a family. People who love him.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11And my men have families, too. All we want is a fair deal.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14You call your men off, otherwise I'll have you arrested!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Do you understand me? You and the rest of your men.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Go ahead, pig.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Let's have a riot.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28You're taking this too far, Owen.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31My men have an inalienable right to protest against the policy
0:07:31 > 0:07:33of this company and your government.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35It's not my government any more.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Labour. Tory. All the same to me and my men.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Your men?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42They're not your men.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Eh!- You people don't belong here.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Michael Clements, MP.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Detective Inspector Bacchus. This is DS Coles.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Do you mind if I try and talk some sense into these men?
0:07:55 > 0:07:56No...
0:07:58 > 0:08:01All right, lads. Listen! Quiet!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Listen! I said quiet!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I am not here to dispute your right to protest
0:08:08 > 0:08:11at the unethical employment policy of this company.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13But please, in the name of common decency,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15let the police do their jobs.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Don't allow yourselves to be painted as a mob of cold-hearted thugs.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24A man is dead.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Show a bit of respect...eh, lads?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Haway then.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Hey...Adolf.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Did you see that? Now that's what I call leadership.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08IMAGINES CAR TYRES SCREECHING
0:09:38 > 0:09:39A single stab wound.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44By the depth of the incision, some kind of stiletto knife.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Not something you'd purchase on the high street.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- More specialist, would you say? - Yeah.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Inserted between the ribs and straight up into the heart.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- Death would have been instant. - So either the killer got lucky, or...
0:09:56 > 0:09:58..he knew exactly what he was doing?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00You said it, but you're not wrong.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05So you really think one of those pickets could what?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Assassinate a scab? - Ah-ah. Not a scab.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Non-union labour, all right.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- We're impartial, you remember that. - I'm just saying,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I don't think we should rule out the other...forces,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17who'd like to see those pickets discredited.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20All right, OK, all right. So that, er...
0:10:20 > 0:10:23That building company's hired a double agent, have they?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- An agent provocateur? - I didn't say that exactly.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Yeah, you've been spending far too much time with the Guv.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Look, Jonny Wilson's death might have had nothing to do with that dispute.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38And maybe someone else was out to get him for some other reason, right?
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Are you going to organise a do?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45For the Guv? To mark his retirement?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I don't think he'd want me there, Rachel.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- He'll come round.- Will he?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Look, in two weeks' time, he'll be gone...
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I don't want to end it on a sour note, I don't.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Excuse me.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- You made it.- I made it.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Lesley Pierce, aged 19.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35She was found dead, 27th of July, 1966.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Close to the record factory where she worked in Washington...
0:11:39 > 0:11:41County Durham, not DC.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42..which is why we're asking for your help.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46It was a violent attack,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49although there doesn't seem to have been any sexual element.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Cause of death?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Massive internal bleeding as a result of a fracture
0:11:53 > 0:11:54to the back of her skull.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57So what exactly is the problem?
0:11:58 > 0:11:59No-one was ever charged.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02It does happen.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Who was the officer in charge?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07DCI Alan Kidd.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Didn't he leave the force?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Took early retirement not long after. Lives in Portugal now.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15And he's not returning our calls.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Listen, George, I know this crime didn't happen in your patch,
0:12:22 > 0:12:23but it's your neck of the woods
0:12:23 > 0:12:26and we thought you might know some of the officers involved.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30So what exactly would I be looking for?
0:12:30 > 0:12:36Any irregularities in the inquiry that would be of concern to the Special Investigations Unit.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38This all happened up north. Why is it in your remit?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Two days ago, we had an anonymous tip-off about this inquiry.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51They told us the police buried evidence and protected someone.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Protected who?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58The caller didn't say. And he wouldn't identify himself.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59But...
0:13:02 > 0:13:04..he sounded scared, very scared.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08We traced it to a phone box in Storey's Gate.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10In Whitehall?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Hardly something we can ignore, is it?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Mrs Pierce? Eileen Pierce?
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Yeah.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Thank you for agreeing to meet me.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51I didn't want you at the house. My husband won't talk to the police.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54He thinks you let us down.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56He's not wrong, is he?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59There are a few officers on the force, myself included,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02who are not satisfied with the inquiry into your daughter's death.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Whoever killed her...
0:14:04 > 0:14:06we could be sitting on the bus with him,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08or standing next to him in the pub.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11What makes you think he was local? Did the police tell you that?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13No. They didn't tell us much.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16It's just down here.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22It was over there they found her.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25The morning after the party.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- And that's the factory where she worked?- Mm-hm.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36They were having a reception for the opening of the new pressing plant.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40That was the last time anyone saw her.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Big party?- Oh, aye.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Lots of important people were there. All the local bigwigs.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48People from London, as well.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50London?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54It's a big company. Multi-national they call themselves.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- And were you living at the same address back then?- Uh-huh.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05So this wasn't on her way home?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07No.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11But if she was forced or dragged here,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13then somebody would have seen her.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16SHE STIFLES TEARS
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I'm sorry to be putting you through this. Here.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Are you all right? Here.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36Could you make me a list of all Lesley's friends and acquaintances?
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Anybody you can think of.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41All right, thanks.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46MUSIC BLARES, CHATTER
0:15:53 > 0:15:55People sleeping here?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Yeah. It's a round-the-clock operation. They picket in shifts.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00They've been brought in from all over the country.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Comrade Owen. A word, please.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05More harassment from the state bully boys, eh?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07All right, then, sweetheart, listen -
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I need a list of the names and addresses
0:16:09 > 0:16:12of everyone that was here on the picket line yesterday, all right?
0:16:12 > 0:16:16You show me the responsible face of the trade union movement.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Responsibility? Bourgeois concept.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20He's talking Swahili.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Which means I can't be held responsible
0:16:22 > 0:16:24if one of my supporters takes the law into his own hands.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Your dead man was a casualty of war.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Class war.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Hey, do you know what?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Not all workers want to be in a union, you know.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38My Uncle Tommy's a hod carrier, right, and him and his brickies
0:16:38 > 0:16:41are the best squad in the whole north-east.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44The last thing that those lads want is a limit on how many hours
0:16:44 > 0:16:47they can work or how many bricks they can shift.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49They just want to buy their own home, send their kids to
0:16:49 > 0:16:52a decent school and you and your kind just don't get that, do you?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54You poor, ignorant sap...
0:16:54 > 0:16:58We will need all of your people to identify themselves to us.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01We want full statements, and photos of all of you, all right?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03For the process of elimination.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Right, I'll start with you, Fidel. All right?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Here we are.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Not many people can say "I made every one of these records".
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Over there's where we press the vinyl.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Three number one singles already this year.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Course, I'm a Stax man myself.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Always have been, always will be.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40There we are.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Thank you.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Yes, so, how can I help?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I'm looking into the killing of Lesley Pierce.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Did you know Lesley, personally?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Um, no, no. No, I didn't. Not personally.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01I knew her to see - she was one of the girls in the typing pool.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- Isn't this case closed?- Not as long as Lesley's killer
0:18:05 > 0:18:07is still out there.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13It was a terrible blow for this place.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Yeah.- For the town - the new town.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19We all moved here to get away from things like that.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Did the police take statements from everybody who was at the party?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Yes. Of course.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Isn't all this in your files?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I'm going to need a list of everybody who was there.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Well, didn't they...
0:18:32 > 0:18:36They went through everyone at the time - workers, management, guests.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39It wasn't anyone from here.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42It was some, you know, some nutter...from who-knows-where.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Have you got a guest list?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I'll give you what I gave the police four years ago.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02People laugh at new towns. But I had enough of life in London.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04We wanted to have a family, so we moved here.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07It was the best thing we ever did.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14When my wife first saw our new house -
0:19:14 > 0:19:16back garden, quiet street,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19no trouble on your front door...
0:19:19 > 0:19:21..she burst into tears.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Who cares if all the trees are the same size?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31This place was always crime-free, until what happened to...
0:19:33 > 0:19:34..to Lesley.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Is that Michael Clements?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Yeah, yeah, he was our local MP - well, he still is.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Back then, he was, uh... - A government minister.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I'm a Liberal myself - always have been, always will be.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51But Michael Clements? He's a good 'un.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Spends a lot of time here in Washington.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56He helped me get this place up and running.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58He cares about Washington.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Cares about his voters, you know?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08The night Lesley died,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10there was a big party at the place where she worked.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12The guest of honour
0:20:12 > 0:20:14was Michael Clements.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16One moment.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27There have been rumours.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29About Clements' weakness...
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- ..for women.- Yeah, well.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- It's not against the law, is it? - No.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40But apparently, he doesn't take well to not getting what he wants.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Bit of a short fuse - but...
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Michael Clements?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48The tip-off about someone being protected
0:20:48 > 0:20:51came from inside Whitehall.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Michael Clements was in government at the time -
0:20:54 > 0:20:57it's not something we can ignore, is it?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11The landlady said Johnny Wilson moved in six weeks ago.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13First floor, room 8.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15See?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17They can't wait to blame the unions.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Well, it's the logical conclusion.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25You know what these pickets are like.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Professional trouble-makers, the lot of them.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Or just blokes with wives and kids who've lost their jobs.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31I want this phone checked.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33All calls in and out the last six weeks, all right?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36These lefties are a violent lot, Rachel.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I mean, look what happened to Nijinsky.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Got an axe through his head in Bolivia, didn't he?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Mexico. And it was Trotsky.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44What's that?
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Trotsky got an axe through his head. Nijinsky was a ballet dancer.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Nijinsky is a horse, Rachel.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Just won the Triple Crown.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58See that?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Well, the TV's still here, the record player.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Doesn't look like a robbery.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24If it wasn't, what were they after?
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Sir.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Sorry, Sir.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Removal men just dumped 'em like this.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38You don't say.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I'll, er...
0:22:40 > 0:22:41I'll leave you to it, Sir.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Ah! You're back, then.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Only till the end of the month.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Well, you're the hero of the beach.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23It's all over the papers.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26George finally slays the dragons of police corruption?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Well, I think it's great what you did, Sir.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Makes us proud to do what I do.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Tone it down.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Thank you, Rachel. I appreciate that.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Er, your picket-line murder.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40I want a full briefing.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Right.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03So obviously, we're focusing on all the people with motive
0:24:03 > 0:24:05to wanting him dead - the pickets.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Press photos - these, taken before he was stabbed.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11That's him - that's our victim, Johnny Wilson.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Which means that we're looking at his killer here,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15somewhere among this lot.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17All 216 of them.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Who we're tracing, interviewing and photographing.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24So we check these...against these...
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Process of elimination.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27It's only a matter of time.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29What about the ones with question marks over their faces?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Blokes with a history of violence - political or otherwise.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34We've been getting them in for questioning.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Yeah. I'd also look at anybody with a professional military background.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Yeah, of course, sir.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41There could be more to this than someone lashing out at a scab.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44The victim's flat was ransacked and the murder seems to be professional.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46No, come on, if you're going to assassinate someone,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49you do it up a side street, don't you?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Or at his home or somewhere remote.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54You don't do it on a picket line in front of hundreds of witnesses -
0:24:54 > 0:24:57half of them coppers - with a load of press hanging around, do you?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Unless you're trying to frame the unions.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Sir? I've a woman on the line here, she sounds all upset.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06She wants to speak to the officer in charge of the picket-line
0:25:06 > 0:25:07murder inquiry.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09It's a complicated case.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I'm not going to be here long enough to see it through.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14It's all yours, DI Bacchus.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17- Rachel, quick word.- Yeah.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Yeah. DI Bacchus.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Shut the door.- Oh, yeah.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I've been looking into an old case.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Lesley Pierce...
0:25:32 > 0:25:36..she was found dead on a pathway in Washington
0:25:36 > 0:25:37four years ago.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Now, I've had a look at the postmortem report
0:25:40 > 0:25:43and there's some pages missing. Now, they could've been lost or
0:25:43 > 0:25:45they could have been removed.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47I've also had a look at the crime scene
0:25:47 > 0:25:51and it's very unlikely that she was dragged there or forced there.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53And this?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56You see... there's bruises to the face...
0:25:58 > 0:26:00..but the cause of death
0:26:00 > 0:26:02was a fracture to the back of the skull.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Looks like a blow struck in anger.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Which would suggest she knew her killer.- Exactly.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07So...
0:26:09 > 0:26:12..I need you to go through all the witness statements
0:26:12 > 0:26:14and cross-reference them with this.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18This is a guest list of a party that she was at the last night
0:26:18 > 0:26:20she was seen alive.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21And this...
0:26:21 > 0:26:23is Lesley's friends and acquaintances.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Anybody on either of those lists
0:26:26 > 0:26:28hasn't got a statement in this file...
0:26:28 > 0:26:30you let me know.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34And, er...no need to mention it to John, all right?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40That was the victim's sister.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42She recognised him from his photo in the paper -
0:26:42 > 0:26:44underneath all that hair and beard.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Johnny Wilson is a false name. His real name is Mark Hogg.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49So he's planted among the scabs.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50What?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Non-union labour - to keep them crossing the picket line?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Keep up the morale?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I think you've tied your ponytail a bit too tight again.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00He was a journalist.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I'm going to go and see his editor over in Manchester.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06See what he was working on, you know.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Michael Clements...?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15He's not a suspect, is he?
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Everybody on that list is a suspect.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26DEEP BOOM REVERBERATES
0:27:26 > 0:27:28What's happening, Michael?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32This place used to be an old naval firing range.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35They're getting rid of the unexploded shells.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Come on.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Time to dazzle them!
0:27:44 > 0:27:47I am a man of the north, ladies and gentlemen!
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I believe in the north, I believe in its people and I believe,
0:27:50 > 0:27:54passionately, that unless we equip ourselves for the future,
0:27:54 > 0:27:58we will be condemned to long-term mass unemployment.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02If we do not regenerate now - today -
0:28:02 > 0:28:03our people will suffer.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06And so I give you...
0:28:06 > 0:28:07..Marwick Point!
0:28:17 > 0:28:22Four years ago, when Mr Wilson ejected me from the cabinet
0:28:22 > 0:28:26for daring to protest at the American war in Vietnam...
0:28:26 > 0:28:27SUPPORTIVE CALLS
0:28:27 > 0:28:29..I was forced back to my roots,
0:28:29 > 0:28:31to the values of my parents
0:28:31 > 0:28:34and grandparents - the community of decent working people in which
0:28:34 > 0:28:36I was raised.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40And so, along with the whole Marwick Point Working Party,
0:28:40 > 0:28:45I've striven tirelessly to turn the dream into a reality...
0:28:46 > 0:28:51A reality that will bring jobs and prosperity to our people.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03An airport, a high-speed railway station,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05trans-Pennine motorway links,
0:29:05 > 0:29:09a bridge across the Humber connecting us to the south,
0:29:09 > 0:29:14a super dock to accommodate the giant oil tankers of the future.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17In the North Sea - facing east, not west,
0:29:17 > 0:29:21because Europe is where our destiny lies.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25We must break our economic, military and political
0:29:25 > 0:29:30dependence on the United States and look towards Europe for the future.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34And we in the north are the people with the skills, the enterprise,
0:29:34 > 0:29:39the ambition, the creativity, to lead Britain and Europe forwards.
0:29:39 > 0:29:40CHEERING
0:29:41 > 0:29:45The working people in the vanguard of the north!
0:29:45 > 0:29:50The north in the vanguard of a new Europe.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52ENTHUSIASTIC CHEERING
0:29:59 > 0:30:01What about the trade unions?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04You didn't mention THEM in your speech.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Aren't the trade unions part of your...golden future?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Mr Clements is negotiating with trade union leaders.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12But the leadership's not the problem, is it, Michael?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15It's the shop stewards, the Marxists, the Maoists, agitators
0:30:15 > 0:30:19like Owen Thompson, who don't give a shit about the working man...
0:30:19 > 0:30:22I didn't know you cared, Gerry.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23I don't.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Then you should be ashamed of yourself.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27You have a question, Miss?
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- Yes...- Sorry, gentlemen, Mr Clements is on a tight schedule.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Can't you stop this for a while?
0:30:37 > 0:30:38Stop what, Adele?
0:30:38 > 0:30:39These young women.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41My sex life is outside your remit.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Not when it affects your chances of getting elected.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47You know, Adele? You're not the only ambitious, highly principled woman
0:30:47 > 0:30:49to go to hell and back for me. Don't forget that.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Mr Clements.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Excuse me, I'm DCI George Gently.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I'd like to talk to you about Lesley Pierce.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00She was found dead close to the record factory in Washington.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02I remember.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08- You've reopened that inquiry?- I'm investigating the investigation.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10If you'd like to make an appointment...
0:31:10 > 0:31:12No, no, no. Let's, er...
0:31:12 > 0:31:17Let's help Detective Chief Inspector Gently to get this cleared up, now.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Thank you, Sir. I appreciate that. Excuse me.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22So... What's the problem?
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Flaws in the original inquiry?
0:31:24 > 0:31:26We don't know.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27Who's "we"?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Did you know Lesley personally?
0:31:30 > 0:31:34No. Why would I? Are you here on an official capacity?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Washington being in your constituency,
0:31:38 > 0:31:41you go up there a lot, so maybe you came into contact with Lesley?
0:31:42 > 0:31:4619 years old, extremely attractive...
0:31:46 > 0:31:48So you've done your homework on me.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50I like young women and young women like me.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51There's a lot of sex involved,
0:31:51 > 0:31:54but it's not against the law, is it?
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Here's a funny thing.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Just as we're about to break ground on Marwick Point, you show up,
0:31:59 > 0:32:01putting me in the crosshairs of a four-year-old murder inquiry...
0:32:01 > 0:32:04You were in Washington that day,
0:32:04 > 0:32:05for the opening of the plant,
0:32:05 > 0:32:08and you were at the party afterwards.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Which was the last time anybody saw Lesley alive.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Hundreds of people were at that party.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Just like that picket-line murder.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Hundreds of suspects, hundreds of union men who hate scabs...
0:32:20 > 0:32:22No, no, no - he wasn't a scab.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25He was a journalist working undercover.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Name of Mark Hogg.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Does that mean anything to you?
0:32:29 > 0:32:31You're not trying to pin that one on me, too, are you?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34No, it means nothing to me.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38And I had nothing to do with the death of that girl.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43But before you go any further with this - whatever THIS is...
0:32:44 > 0:32:47..you need to understand...
0:32:48 > 0:32:50..a storm is going to hit this country.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53The empire's done, the old industries are gone down the tubes
0:32:53 > 0:32:55and there's going to be a day of reckoning when the government -
0:32:55 > 0:32:58maybe Labour, maybe Tory - turns round and says,
0:32:58 > 0:33:01"The party's over, folks, there's no more money -
0:33:01 > 0:33:04"no more dole, no more NHS -
0:33:04 > 0:33:06"leave it all to the free market."
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Our people need to be ready for that day,
0:33:10 > 0:33:12they need to be ready for the future.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14And you're the man to lead them there?
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Yes.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19So what's a dead girl here or there
0:33:19 > 0:33:22on the road to the promised land, eh?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Well, ask yourself this, George Gently -
0:33:26 > 0:33:28why me?
0:33:29 > 0:33:30And why now, eh?
0:33:37 > 0:33:40What were you talking about?
0:33:40 > 0:33:41Adele, get in the car.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Adele! Just get in the car!
0:33:59 > 0:34:01I've spoken to Mark Hogg's editor.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04He told me Hogg was looking for proof that when Bateson-Donnelly
0:34:04 > 0:34:09fired their unionised workers, they were put up to it by the Government.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12In fact, the whole dispute's been cooked up by the Government.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Trial of strength - who runs Britain?
0:34:15 > 0:34:16The unions, or the Government?
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Well, that would explain why his flat was turned over, wouldn't it?
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Oh, come on, man. What, Ted Heath's
0:34:21 > 0:34:24going around ordering the killing of...
0:34:24 > 0:34:26..of reporters who step on his toes?
0:34:26 > 0:34:28I mean, this country's not perfect, sir,
0:34:28 > 0:34:30but it's not Nazi bloody Germany, is it?
0:34:30 > 0:34:33There's a difference between the Government - elected politicians -
0:34:33 > 0:34:35and the apparatus of the state.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37We've got all these ministers standing up in Parliament
0:34:37 > 0:34:39saying the dispute's got nothing to do with them,
0:34:39 > 0:34:41but...what if they're lying?
0:34:41 > 0:34:42He was killed professionally.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Look, John - you're a good enough cop to know - deep in your bones -
0:34:46 > 0:34:48there's something not right about this.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52I need to talk to you.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55All right.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- Does your boss know you're here?- No.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08All right, Miss Watson. I'm listening.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Michael Clements is on the threshold of greatness.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Heath's government isn't going to last
0:35:13 > 0:35:16and with the right leader, Labour can sweep to power.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20And Michael, when he delivers Marwick Point, will be that leader.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Which would be the best thing that could happen to this country,
0:35:23 > 0:35:25don't you think?
0:35:25 > 0:35:28I'm just an old copper doing his job.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32I'm sure you remember the Depression, Mr Gently.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34I'll never forget it.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Rickets.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Michael was 14 before he could walk without leg supports.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Yeah, I'm not sure why...
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Isn't it obvious?
0:35:45 > 0:35:49This is a man who won't rest until he's eradicated poverty.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53And what you're doing to him, persecuting him like this...
0:35:53 > 0:35:55I'm not persecuting anybody.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58As a matter of fact, I've got a lot of time for your boss,
0:35:58 > 0:36:00as a politician.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01But as a man?
0:36:01 > 0:36:04If he was involved with Lesley Pierce...
0:36:04 > 0:36:06He didn't do that! He had nothing to do with that girl.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12You were at the party, weren't you, Miss Watson?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14I go everywhere with Michael.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15And you'd do anything for him?
0:36:17 > 0:36:19For the greater good.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Even if the greater good cost the life of an innocent young girl?
0:36:23 > 0:36:24She wasn't innocent. None of them are!
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Don't you care about the future?
0:36:32 > 0:36:33People are going to suffer.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Michael is a good and decent man.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Please, leave him alone.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43If he's innocent, as well as good and decent...
0:36:43 > 0:36:45then I will.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Two thirds of them identified and interviewed and nothing.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56I mean, they've all got motive, they've all got opportunity.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Keep going until every man there is identified - and anybody who
0:36:59 > 0:37:02doesn't belong there - or nobody recognises - you let me know, OK?
0:37:02 > 0:37:04All right.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05Sir?
0:37:05 > 0:37:07An intruder got into the Bateson-Donnelly building
0:37:07 > 0:37:09a week before last Friday night.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13And we found some unidentified finger prints on a filing cabinet
0:37:13 > 0:37:16and those finger prints have come back now
0:37:16 > 0:37:17and they belong to a Mark Hogg.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21So it's Friday. Payday.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Hogg goes in there to collect his wages...and then hides
0:37:24 > 0:37:26until they shut up shop.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Stranger and stranger, eh, John?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Right, let's go and talk to Mr Donnelly.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36There you go.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Oh, Sir, there was no statement from a girl called
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Kiran Johal in the Lesley Pierce file.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44I spoke Mrs Pierce to find out how close she was to Lesley.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- And...?- Best friends since school.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47Ahhhh.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Hey.- What?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00What's going on?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02You and the Guv. What's he got you doing?
0:38:02 > 0:38:04And why won't he tell me?
0:38:04 > 0:38:07You need to ask him that. On both counts.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Good morning! Avon lady!
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Kiran Johal?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Lesley had all these big plans.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33She hated it in Washington,
0:38:33 > 0:38:38kept going on about how small-minded and suburban it was.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40And you were her best friend?
0:38:43 > 0:38:45I'm afraid your statement's gone missing,
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Kiran - for which I apologise.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52So...could you tell me what you told the police?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Look, I... I don't know.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01What I told that cop was in confidence...
0:39:01 > 0:39:04I'm glad it didn't come out because it would've hurt her mum and dad.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05It still would.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Kiran, Lesley's killer is still out there.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09I need you to tell me everything.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14Lesley was pregnant.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19And you were the only one who knew?
0:39:20 > 0:39:25She'd just found out - the day before the party.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26Who was the father?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28She wouldn't say.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30It was someone older.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Someone important.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36So she hadn't told him?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39No. Cos she didn't think he'd stand by her.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42He was spoken for, you see.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Always had been, always will be.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Listen, I need to get on. I'm working on commission, you know.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Kiran, this officer who took your statement. Man or a woman?
0:39:51 > 0:39:53- Er, a bloke. - Can you remember his name?
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Harry? I think it was Harry.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58What was his second name?
0:39:58 > 0:40:00It was a funny name...
0:40:00 > 0:40:02I know it sounds daft, but...
0:40:02 > 0:40:05it sounded like something from the Bible.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Malachi?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Harry Malachi?
0:40:21 > 0:40:22Where are we going, exactly?
0:40:22 > 0:40:24North, DI Malachi.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26We're going north.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32ANGRY SHOUTING
0:40:46 > 0:40:47They're here, Mr Donnelly.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Thank you.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Mr Donnelly...
0:40:53 > 0:40:57We'll outlast them, you know. Mob rule won't win here.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02And your boys are doing a great job out there.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05I'd like to do something for them. Christmas party fund or something?
0:41:05 > 0:41:08No, no, no - that wouldn't be right.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09We're impartial.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14Course you are.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17You had an intruder break in here last month.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21I wouldn't say "break in". More like mindless vandalism.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Maybe not.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27We found his finger prints on one of your filing cabinets.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Shouldn't you be out there, trying to find out who
0:41:30 > 0:41:31stabbed our employee to death?
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Well, that's the thing, sir - the two crimes are connected.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36We have a...a fingerprint match.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39The intruder was the man stabbed to death two days ago.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41His real name is Mark Hogg.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43He was an undercover reporter.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Well, whatever he was looking for in here, he didn't find it.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Proof of government collusion in your dispute with the unions?
0:41:52 > 0:41:54He didn't find anything
0:41:54 > 0:41:56because there was nothing TO find.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- Have you thought about that? - Yes, we have.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01And that'd make perfect sense, if he wasn't dead.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12This company is a successful going concern.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15We make a profit - that's not a dirty word -
0:42:15 > 0:42:18and we provide work for people up here.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Your job is to find out which one of those morons out there
0:42:22 > 0:42:24stabbed that man to death.
0:42:26 > 0:42:27Clear?
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Yeah, I understand, Mr Donnelly.
0:42:33 > 0:42:34Thank you.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37- Come on.- But I've got another question...- That's enough.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Sir, there's a few more questions I would've liked to ask him.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48If, right - and it's a big if -
0:42:48 > 0:42:50if Mark Hogg got in there
0:42:50 > 0:42:52and got the proof that he was after,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55then, yes, Donnelly IS lying.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57But he was also very angry, wasn't he?
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Which means that whatever Hogg took
0:42:59 > 0:43:01still hasn't been recovered.
0:43:01 > 0:43:02So it's still out there...
0:43:02 > 0:43:05So it's still out there, which is what got him killed.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07And the last thing that we need, right,
0:43:07 > 0:43:10is for anyone to think that we're looking for it, OK?
0:43:12 > 0:43:13OK.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Hello again, Harry.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34What the hell is this? Let it go, Gently.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37Independent panel cleared me of all your trumped-up corruption charges.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39You've got nothing on me, you'll GET nothing on me.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43Lesley Pierce.
0:43:46 > 0:43:47You've found her killer?
0:43:47 > 0:43:48Not yet.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52But...here's what I HAVE found.
0:43:53 > 0:43:57Lesley was pregnant when she was murdered.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01Only her best friend, Kiran Johal, knew about it, until she told you,
0:44:01 > 0:44:06BUT Kiran's statement seems to have disappeared,
0:44:06 > 0:44:10plus there are pages missing from the postmortem report.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13- Now,- I- think
0:44:13 > 0:44:15that those pages will confirm
0:44:15 > 0:44:17that Lesley was pregnant.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20I don't know what happened...
0:44:22 > 0:44:25It was a botched inquiry from start to finish.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28The SIO was a useless old drunk - bit like yourself, George -
0:44:28 > 0:44:30so the whole thing was a mess.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32You're as bent as they come!
0:44:32 > 0:44:34We all know that -
0:44:34 > 0:44:39and we also know that YOU knew Lesley was pregnant.
0:44:39 > 0:44:43And you're going to tell us what you did with that information.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46Who did you protect?
0:44:46 > 0:44:48I need to speak to my superior officer.
0:44:48 > 0:44:52You will find this hard to understand, Harry,
0:44:52 > 0:44:56but Ian here BELIEVES in what he does.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58Like me, he despises bent cops.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01But I'm just a voice crying in the wilderness,
0:45:01 > 0:45:05whereas THIS man has got your new Commissioner behind him.
0:45:05 > 0:45:10And HE is going to go through every case that you've ever
0:45:10 > 0:45:14worked on since you walked out of Hendon with a fine-toothed comb.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18Now, do you want that, Harry, eh?
0:45:19 > 0:45:21Do you REALLY want that?
0:45:26 > 0:45:30Come, on Harry - who was the father of Lesley's child?
0:45:30 > 0:45:31I found what I found.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35He had a thing with her and she was pregnant.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38He offered me money - a lot of it...
0:45:39 > 0:45:40..to make it go away.
0:45:42 > 0:45:43I couldn't say no.
0:45:46 > 0:45:47Who paid you off?
0:45:52 > 0:45:53Michael Clements.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06He's a born liar.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09He didn't just take a pay-off from Michael Clements.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12He was ordered - from above - to make the evidence go away.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15I'm not sure I'm following you.
0:46:17 > 0:46:18Are we...
0:46:20 > 0:46:21Are we being played here, Ian?
0:46:23 > 0:46:24By who?
0:46:24 > 0:46:26Guv...?
0:46:26 > 0:46:27I need a word.
0:46:35 > 0:46:36- We need to talk. - What about?
0:46:36 > 0:46:38About you freezing me out.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40This is not the time or the place...
0:46:40 > 0:46:42No, this is exactly the time and the place.
0:46:42 > 0:46:43I want to know what you know.
0:46:43 > 0:46:48Because I think Michael Clements is involved in the murder of Mark Hogg.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50Who is that?
0:46:50 > 0:46:52It's our new friend.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59Mark Hogg breaks into Bateson-Donnelly. He finds proof
0:46:59 > 0:47:02of government collusion in that dispute.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04A few weeks later, he's murdered - professionally.
0:47:04 > 0:47:08The day before he's murdered, he makes a six-minute phone call
0:47:08 > 0:47:13from a payphone at his digs...to Michael Clements.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15He told me he didn't know Mark Hogg.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17Because he doesn't trust the police?
0:47:17 > 0:47:19Yeah, but the thing is, right,
0:47:19 > 0:47:21whoever killed Mark Hogg,
0:47:21 > 0:47:24how did they know it was him that broke into Bateson-Donnelly?
0:47:24 > 0:47:25He told Clements what he had,
0:47:25 > 0:47:28thinking Clements would go public with it.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31Instead...Clements sold him out.
0:47:31 > 0:47:32Why would Clements give Hogg away?
0:47:32 > 0:47:36Because he was being protected over the Lesley Pierce murder.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39And now he's paying the price for that protection.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42He does what he's told, when he's told to do it.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44It does go higher up than Harry Malachi.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49Right, we need to find whatever it was that Mark Hogg
0:47:49 > 0:47:50took from Bateson-Donnelly...
0:47:50 > 0:47:53I've got a warrant to search his home address in Manchester.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56You're off the book on this. No case notes, no diary entries.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59And as soon as you get your hands on whatever it was that he took
0:47:59 > 0:48:03from Bateson-Donnelly, you bring it straight to me, is that clear?
0:48:03 > 0:48:06- On it.- Yes, sir.- And you alter your routes home at night.
0:48:06 > 0:48:07And what about you, sir?
0:48:11 > 0:48:13Mr Clements.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15We've summoned you today because there's concern
0:48:15 > 0:48:20here at The Treasury regarding your Marwick Point project.
0:48:20 > 0:48:24You seem to have raised public expectations to a fever pitch,
0:48:24 > 0:48:27while forgetting that after the election
0:48:27 > 0:48:32and the return of a new government, public funding of your project
0:48:32 > 0:48:35is now subject to the comprehensive spending review.
0:48:35 > 0:48:36We don't need your money.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40Marwick Point Development Corporation has secured
0:48:40 > 0:48:43the backing of a consortium of European businessmen
0:48:43 > 0:48:45and financial institutions.
0:48:46 > 0:48:50Marwick Point happens - whether you lot like it or not.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55Howay the lads.
0:49:01 > 0:49:03DOOR CLOSES
0:49:03 > 0:49:05The tribune of the people has spoken.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07Who are we to argue?
0:49:11 > 0:49:13CLAMOUR
0:49:15 > 0:49:16I'm so grateful for...
0:49:16 > 0:49:20- RADIO:- If Michael Clements can make Marwick Point a reality, do you think people
0:49:20 > 0:49:23will rally round him as someone who could lead the Labour Party back to power?
0:49:23 > 0:49:26That's exactly what I'm picking up in the lobbies and in the Labour Party as a whole.
0:49:26 > 0:49:30With Heath's government already fragile and industrial unrest spreading across the country,
0:49:30 > 0:49:32Michael Clements is building the
0:49:32 > 0:49:34kind of momentum that could, one day,
0:49:34 > 0:49:37propel him all the way to Downing Street.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48MUSIC PLAYS: Move On Up by Curtis Mayfield
0:50:04 > 0:50:07# Just move on up
0:50:07 > 0:50:11# Toward your destination
0:50:11 > 0:50:16# Though you may find from time to time complications... #
0:50:24 > 0:50:26You lied to me.
0:50:26 > 0:50:27You told me you didn't know Lesley Pierce.
0:50:27 > 0:50:31Oh, I lied to the police, George. Don't take it personally.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34I had sex with her, maybe I was the father of her child,
0:50:34 > 0:50:38but...Harry Malachi offered to make it go away.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41He blackmailed me and....I paid up.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44I was in the Cabinet, man!
0:50:44 > 0:50:47Even a whiff of scandal would've finished me.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50She was pregnant - maybe by me - and then she was dead.
0:50:50 > 0:50:54But...I didn't kill her. Who put you up to this?
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Oh, we're all out to get you, are we?
0:50:56 > 0:50:58- It seems like it. - Even Mark Hogg?
0:51:00 > 0:51:02He phoned you last week, didn't he?
0:51:02 > 0:51:06He told you he'd found something inside Bateson-Donnelly.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08He told you what he'd found.
0:51:08 > 0:51:10The next day he was executed.
0:51:10 > 0:51:14Whoever phoned me wouldn't identify himself.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16He said he had some information that he wanted me
0:51:16 > 0:51:18to put in the public domain.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20Something that would turn the whole thing on its head.
0:51:20 > 0:51:24So I agreed to meet - at Marwick Point a couple of days ago -
0:51:24 > 0:51:26- but he didn't show. - Because he was dead.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29You bribed a serving police officer.
0:51:29 > 0:51:31It was blackmail!
0:51:31 > 0:51:33So what? You paid up!
0:51:33 > 0:51:35BOTTLE CLINKS
0:51:35 > 0:51:38Hardly the conduct of a future Prime Minister, is it?
0:51:43 > 0:51:45- A week.- What?
0:51:45 > 0:51:47To get Marwick Point signed and sealed.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50Just give me a week - then you can come after me with all you've got.
0:51:50 > 0:51:51- I can't do that. - Why not?
0:51:51 > 0:51:53"Because I'm a policeman, Your Honour,
0:51:53 > 0:51:55"and my wife said that my duty is my life"?
0:51:58 > 0:52:00I've been playing the filthy business of politics
0:52:00 > 0:52:02and power for years now, George.
0:52:02 > 0:52:06In government, in opposition, in the services.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09You're forcing me back down that gutter again,
0:52:09 > 0:52:13and I don't like myself for it and I don't like you for it.
0:52:14 > 0:52:18But a cop gets sent to take you down, you do your homework on him.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21You pull in favours from everyone in the Yard who owes you.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24You get inside his life, inside his head.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26And if you're me and you know how it works under the surface,
0:52:26 > 0:52:28down in the sewers...
0:52:31 > 0:52:33- Just one week... - No.
0:52:39 > 0:52:42Not even if I give you the name of the man who killed your wife?
0:52:47 > 0:52:49Joe Webster killed my wife...
0:52:51 > 0:52:53Joe Webster was just another disposable villain with
0:52:53 > 0:52:54a psychotic temper.
0:52:57 > 0:53:02Ford Zephyr, Eldon Street, March 17th, 1964.
0:53:02 > 0:53:07I know the beginning, middle and end of it, George, and if I were you,
0:53:07 > 0:53:11I'd ask myself this - who really benefited from Isabella's death, eh?
0:53:11 > 0:53:15Not Joe Webster. They murdered her and you moved up North.
0:53:15 > 0:53:16Who benefited, eh?
0:53:18 > 0:53:20And who benefits from you taking me down?
0:53:20 > 0:53:23Maybe the same people - the powers that be, the apparatus
0:53:23 > 0:53:26of government, the Establishment - call 'em what you will.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29Maybe you and I are in the same boat here, George.
0:53:31 > 0:53:32One week!

1:06:55 > 1:06:57Can I, er, help you?
1:07:09 > 1:07:11I need to talk to you, Mr Paton.
1:07:15 > 1:07:18- How many kids've you got, Eddie? - Three.
1:07:20 > 1:07:24And you're a Stax man. Always have been, always will be.
1:07:24 > 1:07:30And you're a Liberal. Always have been, always will be.
1:07:30 > 1:07:32Are you making fun of me?
1:07:32 > 1:07:35Did you tell Lesley, that you were already spoken for -
1:07:35 > 1:07:37"Always have been, always will be"?
1:07:39 > 1:07:40Why did you lie to me?
1:07:41 > 1:07:44You told me that you didn't know Lesley personally.
1:07:44 > 1:07:46What's this about?
1:07:49 > 1:07:51So how did it go, Eddie?
1:07:52 > 1:07:57Did Lesley corner you at the party and tell you she was pregnant?
1:07:57 > 1:07:59And you were scared that your wife might find out,
1:07:59 > 1:08:01so you agreed to meet Lesley later?
1:08:03 > 1:08:06No, maybe you got her pregnant, maybe you didn't.
1:08:07 > 1:08:09But you DID have sexual relations with her.
1:08:12 > 1:08:14It was just once, Liz.
1:08:15 > 1:08:18And I was a bit drunk - it was nothing.
1:08:18 > 1:08:21So you met Lesley away from the party,
1:08:21 > 1:08:23and you tried to talk her down.
1:08:23 > 1:08:24But she wouldn't let it go.
1:08:26 > 1:08:30So you got into an argument and you struck her in anger and
1:08:30 > 1:08:34she fell to the ground and she cracked her head and she was dead.
1:08:34 > 1:08:37- No.- Lesley threatened all of this.
1:08:37 > 1:08:42The perfect job, the perfect life and your shiny new town!
1:08:42 > 1:08:44It's not funny.
1:08:46 > 1:08:50Do you know where we came from? Slums!
1:08:50 > 1:08:53Dirt and filth and people fighting in the streets and we came here
1:08:53 > 1:08:55and the kids... Oh, my God, the kids.
1:08:58 > 1:09:01CHILDREN LAUGH AND CHANT
1:09:01 > 1:09:03This place is everything I ever dreamed.
1:09:05 > 1:09:08It's not like back there...
1:09:08 > 1:09:11London. Filthy and falling apart. This place is...
1:09:13 > 1:09:15It's like America or something.
1:09:15 > 1:09:18And you'd do anything to keep it all.
1:09:20 > 1:09:21What?
1:09:26 > 1:09:28Eddie didn't do anything wrong.
1:09:30 > 1:09:32He's not like that.
1:09:32 > 1:09:33He didn't...
1:09:40 > 1:09:41He was with me all night.
1:09:43 > 1:09:44I didn't let him out of my sight.
1:09:45 > 1:09:48You were there, too. At the party.
1:09:52 > 1:09:54HE SIGHS
1:09:56 > 1:09:58You'd better find somebody to mind the kids.
1:10:00 > 1:10:03Because I'm going to arrest the both of you for murder.
1:10:05 > 1:10:08And then we're going to take you to two separate police stations
1:10:08 > 1:10:10and we are going to sweat the truth out of you.
1:10:10 > 1:10:12No matter how long it takes.
1:10:15 > 1:10:16Or...
1:10:18 > 1:10:20..you can tell me the truth, here and now,
1:10:20 > 1:10:22and the kids will still keep their dad.
1:10:41 > 1:10:46Eddie didn't know I knew about Lesley. Until now.
1:10:48 > 1:10:49OK.
1:10:54 > 1:10:59I... I offered to pay for an abortion and....
1:11:00 > 1:11:04And she started laughing at me and...
1:11:08 > 1:11:10SHE SOBS
1:11:13 > 1:11:15I didn't mean it!
1:11:29 > 1:11:30Last man standing.
1:11:32 > 1:11:33So who are you?
1:12:11 > 1:12:14Clements didn't kill Lesley Pierce.
1:12:14 > 1:12:17I've arrested her killer. She confessed.
1:12:18 > 1:12:20We have been played, Ian.
1:12:21 > 1:12:23An anonymous tip-off, eh?
1:12:25 > 1:12:29My advice to you is to arrest Michael Clements on suspicion
1:12:29 > 1:12:31of the murder of Lesley Pierce.
1:12:37 > 1:12:38They got to you.
1:12:38 > 1:12:40We all look up to you, George.
1:12:40 > 1:12:42HE SCOFFS
1:12:44 > 1:12:45You've never compromised.
1:12:50 > 1:12:52I don't want everything you've stood...
1:12:58 > 1:13:03If I'm going to stay in the game and clean up the police...
1:13:07 > 1:13:09..there are compromises.
1:13:15 > 1:13:17They don't want Michael Clements running the show.
1:13:17 > 1:13:20Even if the people vote for him?
1:13:20 > 1:13:22The people? What do the people know?
1:13:22 > 1:13:25Give them a vote on it and they'll bring back hanging.
1:13:34 > 1:13:39Please, George, just toe the line.
1:13:44 > 1:13:46In the national interest.
1:13:49 > 1:13:51I believed in you, Ian.
1:14:08 > 1:14:11Why is Michael Clements so dangerous to the British State?
1:14:12 > 1:14:16It's not his brand of socialism or his man of the people act.
1:14:17 > 1:14:20It's the reason they fired him from the Cabinet.
1:14:20 > 1:14:22TYRES SCREECH
1:14:44 > 1:14:47Sorry. George Gently doesn't walk away.
1:14:51 > 1:14:53I'll take a lift back to London, Ian.
1:15:28 > 1:15:29Were you followed?
1:15:29 > 1:15:31- No.- No.
1:15:34 > 1:15:38This is what Mark Hogg took from Bateson-Donnelly.
1:15:38 > 1:15:40It's his death sentence. Have a look.
1:15:41 > 1:15:44He went looking for government collusion in their dispute
1:15:44 > 1:15:46but he found something much, much bigger.
1:15:46 > 1:15:50This letter, right, confirming the construction contract.
1:15:50 > 1:15:53That traced back to commissioning agents through
1:15:53 > 1:15:58offshore holding companies, all the way to Washington.
1:15:58 > 1:16:00DC, not County Durham?
1:16:00 > 1:16:03- Yeah. They're building an airbase at Marwick Point.- What?
1:16:03 > 1:16:04For the Americans.
1:16:11 > 1:16:15So, the State uses me to torpedo Clements who, by the way,
1:16:15 > 1:16:20didn't kill Lesley Pierce and it was all going like clockwork...
1:16:20 > 1:16:22until Mark Hogg gets his hands on that.
1:16:22 > 1:16:25That's what got Mark Hogg killed, sir. Now we've got our hands on it.
1:16:26 > 1:16:30So what are you saying, John? We should bury this and walk away?
1:16:30 > 1:16:32- No, sir, no.- No, no. We've got the killer of Mark Hogg.
1:16:32 > 1:16:35He's the only man at the crime scene that we can't account for.
1:16:35 > 1:16:37Look, this is just some bloke, Rachel.
1:16:37 > 1:16:40We can't prove that he killed Mark Hogg, we don't even know his name.
1:16:40 > 1:16:42Alan Croxley.
1:16:42 > 1:16:46Ex-Special Forces. And, my guess, MI5.
1:16:46 > 1:16:47You know him?
1:16:48 > 1:16:50It's a long story, Rachel.
1:16:53 > 1:16:55So, what do we do, sir?
1:16:57 > 1:16:59Well, you two just go on doing your jobs.
1:16:59 > 1:17:03And you forget about this. You know nothing, you saw nothing.
1:17:03 > 1:17:04And what about that, sir?
1:17:06 > 1:17:09Well...a week from now, I'll be gone anyway.
1:17:09 > 1:17:13- No... Come on, sir.- Sir.- Look. No. You've proved your point.
1:17:13 > 1:17:16All right? What else can you do? Just walk away.
1:17:17 > 1:17:18You can't win, sir.
1:17:18 > 1:17:21They are going to build the airbase, they'll take down Clements.
1:17:21 > 1:17:25Just, just leave it. Please. For once.
1:17:25 > 1:17:28Just walk away, take your retirement, sir.
1:17:29 > 1:17:30Retirement, eh?
1:17:30 > 1:17:32Tell him, Rachel. He'll listen to you.
1:17:32 > 1:17:35- Tell him. - Sir, please, just...
1:17:35 > 1:17:38I mean it, Rachel. You saw nothing, you know nothing.
1:17:40 > 1:17:44And one more thing. Are you organising a do for my retirement?
1:17:46 > 1:17:49- Do you want a do? - Yeah.
1:17:49 > 1:17:50Right.
1:17:53 > 1:17:56I'll book the upstairs room at The Old Straw House, if you want.
1:17:56 > 1:17:59Well, oh, thanks, John. I appreciate that.
1:17:59 > 1:18:00Right.
1:18:00 > 1:18:02Yeah.
1:18:14 > 1:18:15Cheer up.
1:18:15 > 1:18:17It's not the end of the world.
1:18:53 > 1:18:55BELL TOLLS
1:19:00 > 1:19:01Michael.
1:19:06 > 1:19:08Adele said I'd find you here.
1:19:12 > 1:19:14What's happening, George?
1:19:14 > 1:19:16Did you kill the man who killed your wife?
1:19:18 > 1:19:19No.
1:19:21 > 1:19:24You didn't kill Lesley Pierce. I know that now.
1:19:25 > 1:19:26I had to be sure.
1:19:27 > 1:19:29And our deal?
1:19:31 > 1:19:32One week's grace?
1:19:34 > 1:19:37You don't have a week, Michael, you don't have anything.
1:19:38 > 1:19:42They want this site as an airbase. For the Americans.
1:19:42 > 1:19:43Yeah.
1:19:45 > 1:19:48That's why they were using me to bring you down.
1:19:48 > 1:19:51Because what the Americans want from us, they get.
1:19:51 > 1:19:54And what about what the people want, George?
1:19:54 > 1:19:57Working people, honest people who pay their taxes and vote?
1:19:57 > 1:20:01Well, they don't really count, do they? Not really. Not to them.
1:20:03 > 1:20:08You bribed a serving police officer. That's not going to go away.
1:20:08 > 1:20:10Your political career is over.
1:20:12 > 1:20:14But the fight needn't be.
1:20:15 > 1:20:18You could expose the whole plot. People will listen to you, Michael.
1:20:18 > 1:20:20Not without proof.
1:20:22 > 1:20:24The proof is on its way to your office.
1:20:27 > 1:20:31But it's not about proof and bits of paper, is it?
1:20:33 > 1:20:38It's about principles and values and everything that we fought
1:20:38 > 1:20:41the war for and tried to do when we came back.
1:20:42 > 1:20:44You might not win, they'll outflank you,
1:20:44 > 1:20:48they'll try to poison your name, they'll spread rumours about you,
1:20:48 > 1:20:51and that's why you have to keep fighting.
1:20:52 > 1:20:56Cos what else is there, Michael? What else is there?
1:21:01 > 1:21:03And will you be there, George?
1:21:04 > 1:21:06Watching me back?
1:21:10 > 1:21:11One way or another.
1:21:19 > 1:21:21I'll see you in the future...

1:26:35 > 1:26:36Yeah, yeah. We are.
1:26:45 > 1:26:47They'll say it's one of his old enemies.
1:26:50 > 1:26:51They'll cover it up.
1:27:27 > 1:27:29What would George Gently do?
1:27:35 > 1:27:39He'd say, "Don't think about anything else.
