- Right.

Time to hand in your own work.

[bright music]

If you're wondering why
we're not emailing this

or pressing a button to make

some sort of
computer submission,

it's because I want this
physically handed in.

200 people on this
job. 40,000 man hours.

Two strong suspects.

There's a weight
of evidence here,

and I want 'em to
feel that weight.

I want 'em to hold all your
hard work in their hands

before they make their decision.

It's the biggest job
of my career, this,

and I know it's the same for
many of you, so well done.

Now, we just need a volunteer

to take it round to CPS, please.

[bright music continues]

- Marina?

It's in.

Now all we can do is wait.

- Well, somebody
can't stay away. Look.

[telephone ringing]

- What?

- CPS have agreed to
press charges, and
request extradition.

- But you knew that already.

- No.

- Then, then why are you here?

- Because Marina
wants a meeting,

and she wants it at
her lawyer's place.

- Why would Marina
need a lawyer?

- What my client would like

while the CPS
considers its options

is a public inquest into
her husband's death.

She believes that an inquest
will maintain public awareness.

She believes it will
expedite matters.

She believes that
it will give us all,

and we include you in this,

a far better chance
of establishing
Russian culpability.

- Sorry.

She believes this or you do?

- Louise Christian is
a human rights lawyer.

Very experienced.

She explained what we-
- To be clear,

my client does not need your
permission for any of this.

She's just making you aware.

- Marina, we were going
to call you about this,

but given you wanted a meeting,

we agreed that it will be
better coming in person.

The CPS has decided to
press murder charges,

and to request extradition.

It's fantastic notes.

- Yes, but it won't
change anything.

Extradition won't follow.

- Extradition will be requested

by the British Embassy directly.

- Fine, but they're
not gonna get anywhere.

- [scoffs] We don't know that.

- [Peter] No.

- How did your detectives get
on when they were in Moscow?

- I'm in the process
of finding a barrister

to represent my client.

- [Clive] You don't
need to do that.

- If by a miracle-

- It confuses things.
- extradition is granted-

- It gets in the way.
- then we can all reconvene.

- [Louise] That way we
will waste no more time.

- What do you mean, more time?

- Is that fair?

I address that to you, you
being the most senior, yes?

- Look, you either trust in
the British justice system,

or you don't.

- Honestly, I could
trust in it more.

- I'm not talking about you,
I'm talking about your client,

or Marina, as we
tend to call her.

She asked us to do
a job. We did it.

We put colleagues'
lives in danger,

and now we need to
let it play out.

- Stop!

It's like cats and dogs.

- Here's an idea.

Whatever the decision
over extradition,

it shouldn't take more
than a few days to arrive.

The second it does,
we let Marina know.

From that moment on,

everyone around this table
agrees to support Marina

with an inquest or whatever
you choose to do next.

How does that sound

- Thank you.

- [Clive] Peter?

- [Peter] You near a television?

- Um...

Yes.

- [Peter] It's called Russia TV.

- Russia TV?

- Right the way up.

If you get to the dirty
ones, you've gone too far.

- Yeah.
[ominous music]

- "Putin on Litvinenko:

'An insignificant
target who the FSB

would not have
bothered murdering.'"

- When are the embassy
asking for extradition?

- [Peter] This afternoon.

- Pff. Talk about bad timing.

- No, this, this
isn't timing, Clive.

This is him giving
his answer in advance.

All you're watching
is televised fuck you.

[ominous music continues]

- The Russians are not
going to allow extradition.

We heard about an hour ago.

I wanted to be the one to
tell you, face to face.

- This is why we
ask for a meeting.

We knew this would happen.

And

police work is finished.

- A murder case is never closed.

- You're working on this now?

- Personally?

- Clive working on this now?

Brent,

I

trust you

very much.

From beginning, all of you,
you try to catch this man,

but now it is

done.

If want to continue fighting-

- Marina, I'm always
here if you need someone-

- If?
- to talk to.

- If I want to
continue fighting,

I fight on my own, yes?

[Brent exhales]

[Marina sobbing]

[door closes]

[streetlamps buzzing]

[ominous music]

[engine revving]

[dog barks]

[people yelling]

[ominous music continues]

- Uh, Louise, I
don't understand.

You are my lawyer.

- I'm your solicitor.

But if there's an inquest,
we'll need a barrister, too.

There are a lot of
good ones in London.

He is one of the very best.

[intercom ringing]

- [Receptionist] Matrix.

- [Louise] Hello. Here
to see Ben Emmerson.

- [Receptionist]
One moment, please.

- So, the question for
you is never gonna be,

is he good enough,
but, do I trust him,

and does this feel right?

[door lock buzzes]

[siren wailing]

- Well, they'd have been
placed with the teapot.

That's excellent, but here's
the one that seals it for me,

the U-bend from Lugovoy's
sink, because I'm sorry,

polonium might do many things,

but it doesn't
cross-contaminate its way

into the U-bend of your sink.

You have to pour it there.

Now, this shows that these
are the men responsible.

- Yes?

- Well, when you factor
in all the rest of it,

unquestionably.

But, you know, it
is very important to
say, Mrs. Litvinenko,

that if you and I are to
work together on this,

now, push for this inquest,

then our objective
cannot be to show

these are the men that
killed your husband.

- But I need to show this.

- That's not our brief.

- It is brief.

- It's not the one
I've been given.

May I show you?

Not that you won't
have seen it already.

- This may be the time
to say one or two things

to the person responsible.

You may succeed in silencing me,

but the howl of protest
from around the world

will reverberate, Mr. Putin,

in your ears for the
rest of your life.

- It's not what your
husband's asking us.

He wants us to lay this at
the door of Vladimir Putin.

That is the brief.

[bright music]

So if we do this,

and even though it might take
a considerable amount of time,

then that is what I
suggest we try and do.

[door shuts]

[bright music continues]

Before any inquest can begin,

the rules of the game
need to be established,

what is or or is not
admissible, and so on,

but none of what happens
here is gonna be a trial.

It's not us versus them.

It's a lot of stuffy
old lawyers like me

putting a lot of
things before a judge,

and it's for the
judge alone to decide.

- To judge the judge.

- Precisely. But first we need
to jump through some hoops.

- Our preliminary assessment

does establish a
prima facie case

as to the culpability
of the Russian state

in the death of
Alexander Litvinenko.

- Mr. Emmerson.

- Sir, may I thank
the inquest team

for their preliminary report.

That there is a case for
Russian state responsibility

in the death of Mr. Litvinenko
is of course something

that my client has
been hoping to explore

since her husband made
clear to her whilst dying

that that was his own belief.

- In which case, I will
look to confirm the date

on which we can begin
the substantive hearings.

[cheerful Christmas music]

- Ben is very happy,
very positive.

Everything take time, of course,

but Ben says there
is good chance

to prove Russian responsibility
at highest level.

He keeps fighting.
You keep fighting.

Ben and I, well,
we keep fighting.

What?

- Oh,

nothing.

You said the name Ben three
times in the last minute.

- [chuckles] What
is wrong with that?

- [Alex] Nothing, nothing.

- Stop.

This is very dangerous
situation for me.

Do you not see?

- Yes.

- I put all my hope

in this one man,
in this one place.

[bright music]

[Alex speaking in Russian]

[bright music continues]

- Right.

Sorry.

Ready?

[door clacks]

[Oscar speaking in Russian]

[keys clattering]

Boss?

[ominous music]

Boss?

[ominous music continues]

Boss?

Boris!

Boss?

Boss?

[ominous music continues]

[Oscar grunts]
[door shatters]

[Oscar gasping]

[people chattering]

- The, uh, the judge is going
to invite the government

to hold a public inquiry.

Now, that would mean
that the materials

they wanted hidden
will remain hidden,

but that he, crucial,
will get to see them,

and not just see them, take
them into consideration.

- This is good?

- Oh, it's a hell of a lot
better than it was at lunchtime.

Put it that way. All right.

You're Temple, I'm
Chancery Lane, so.

- How long will this take?

- Too long, probably, but then,

yeah, we knew that
it would, didn't we?

My knowing's half the battle.

[carillon tolling]

[rain pouring]

- "Evening Standard."

[ominous music]
"Standard."

[ominous music continues]

[ominous music continues]

- Taxi!

[ominous music continues]

- He makes a series of
anti-Putin remarks, like Sasha,

and the next thing
you know, like Sasha,

he's found dead in
unexplained circumstances.

- But not like Sasha in that
he had a scarf around his neck.

Bruising all on there.

- Yeah, I'm not saying
that it's not suicide.

- And the door was
locked from the inside.

- I'm saying it's
worth investigating.

- You know what, Brent?
It's a simple job.

You get a brief,
you get to work,

you make your submission
at CPS, or not, depending,

and you move on to the next one.

Staying emotionally attached-

- Oh, you mean caring?

- is not a strength.

Not in a way you think it is.

[cellphone ringing]
- Sorry.

Oh, I, I've...

I'm sorry.
[cellphone ringing continues]

[door opens]

Hi.

Okay.

Tell me.

[somber music]

I'm coming right now.

[somber music continues]

- Just I [sighs]

feel like we keep running
into the same brick wall.

- Yeah, but at least we get
to run into it together.

[somber music continues]

- Thank you.

- The UK has refused a request
to set up a public inquiry

to replace the
inquest into the death

of the former Russian
spy Alexander Litvinenko.

Mr. Litvinenko was poisoned

with radioactive polonium
in London in 2006.

A disappointing decision
then for the family today.

- Six reasons from
the home secretary

for why a public inquiry
is being refused,

including, risibly,

the admission that international
relations are a factor,

which, to translate into English
from the original bullshit,

means that trade opportunities

are more important to this
country than the life of,

of, of one of its citizens.

- Maybe government knows
it was not actually Putin.

- But it was actually Putin.

[Marina sobbing]

What Russian citizen would
dare do something like this

without his blessing?

But you know, Putin's
not the problem.

Well, he's not the only problem.

What today proves
more than anything

is that we are taking on
an entire regime here,

one that is immoral, cowardly,

one that, yeah, it
answers to Putin's drum,

one that deludes
itself into believing

that it has an
international relevance

that it lost long ago.

But as of today, the
regime we are up against

isn't the Russian regime.

[ominous music]

- It's the United Kingdom.

[garbage truck beeping]

[wind howling]
[leaves rustling]

[Marina humming]

[birds twittering]

- He would. He definitely
would, if you can see it.

It's real, to be honest.

Oh, mate, your mum's here.

- See ya, mate.

- You smoke?

- What?

- Do not smoke, Anatoly.

Your sports like your father.

- Well, sport's not
exactly my thing.

- How about helping your
mother with shopping?

Is this your thing?

Alex is coming later.

I was gonna take this to the
cemetery, but maybe tomorrow.

- I can do it now.

- Hmm. Okay.
[bright music]

[bright music continues]

[bright music continues]

- Anatoly's school
fees are settled.

The apartment is secured,

but there can be no more
money taken from the estate.

We certainly cannot afford
barristers like Ben Emmerson.

- So,

that's it?

I just tell him it's
over, everything stop?

- Sorry.

- Okay, so, uh,

no more money.

We think of new way.

[clock ticking]

- Marina,

it's been seven years.

Seven years.
[door shuts]

I think it's time for you to
ask yourself the question,

"What more can I do?"

[somber music]

- The grave was covered in
moss and leaves and stuff,

but I took care of it.

You should never let
it get like that.

- Thank you.

[somber music continues]

[somber music continues]

- There are three things
we could be doing.

One, keep this in
the public eye,

two, keep the police on side,

and three, wait.

Crucial.

Every time Putin does something,
influences an election,

annexes Georgia,
the pressure mounts,

and there'll come a point when
even the British government

can't be seen to
look the other way.

And when that day comes,
that's when we strike.

You haven't touched
your sandwich.

- This morning, I, um,

visit Louise Christian.

I explain her,

I'm very scared.

From now on,

no more money.

Expensive barrister,

not possible.

- So now you've come to see me?

You bought a sandwich
you don't even want,

and you wanna know what I think?

I think,

I think we're just gonna
have to carry on anyway,

is what I think.

You and I, we've
started something, and,

well, I'm afraid that I'm
just gonna have to insist

we see it right towards the end.

I also think you need to put
that sandwich back in your bag.

Take it home for Anatoly.

- Yes.
- Before I eat it for him.

- Thank you, Ben.

[Marina sighs]

[bright music continues]

[keyboard clacking]

Dear Mr. Putin,

my name is Marina Litvinenko.

I believe you to be responsible

for the murder of my husband.

I have shared this belief
with the British media,

and I have asked
my prime minister

to authorize a public inquiry

so that you may be
held to account.

In the words of my husband,
may God forgive you.

[dog barks]

[car approaches]

[cat growls]

[cat growls]

[footsteps tapping]

[somber music]

[somber music continues]

[people chattering]

- [clears throat]
Sorry, everybody.

[somber music continues]

Forgive me.

Thanks.

What are we doing
this afternoon?

No, don't, don't answer that.

I'll tell you exactly
what we're doing.

- I cannot understand why
the British government

needs to cover for
the people in Kremlin

responsible for the
murder of my husband.

After all, the government
is supposed to be interested

in finding out who is
responsible for the murder

of a British citizen in
the streets of London.

Now the decision is
up to Theresa May.

- [Jenny] Brent.

- I call on her to
begin an investigation.

I want to ask her as
one woman to another,

how would she feel in my place

if her husband were
murdered in such a way?

Would she not want
to know the truth?

- [Newsreader] Our
correspondent, Julia Kremer,

is in Westminster.

[birds twittering]

[somber music continues]

[footsteps approaching]
[floorboards creaking]

- Mum.

Mum!

[Marina speaking in Russian]

[Anatoly sighs]

- It's in the Ukraine.

They think it was
shot down by Russia.

Isn't that the kind of thing
we've been waiting for?

The thing they can't ignore?

[telephone ringing]

Hello?

[bright music]

- So what, she's
just coming over?

It's that like a,
like a Russian thing,

like with Australians?

You know, just invite
yourself round?

- You don't need to tidy up.

She's not that sort
of person. She's nice.

[taxi rumbling]

[engine revving]

- This morning,

Theresa May,

she decided.

yes,

we have inquiry.

I wanted to tell you, Brent,

before anyone else.

Straight away, I know
Brent needs to know this,

because Brent was the first
person at the hospital.

- Yes.

- Late at night.

- Yes.

- How many years ago now?

- Eight years this year.

- The first person to believe
my husband, to listen to us.

This is very big moment.

- And you'll need everyone
on the police side

to take part in the
inquiry, I'm presuming?

Then that's what we'll do.

- We're about to have some
food, Marina. Will you stay?

[water running]

[plates clanking]

- Everything okay?

- Brent,

for me and Anatoly,
this inquiry is easy.

We stand in public and we say
Vladimir Putin is murderer.

Because it is family.

For other people, this is

big risk.

You must think about the
things closest to you.

- Marina

- The people you love.

- We're giving evidence,
we're giving it everything,

and we're doing it for you.

End of.

- You will?

- You just try and stop him.

[Marina laughs]

- Marina, how are you feeling?
- All right now.

Excuse us.
[reporters shouting]

All right, come on now.

That's enough. Excuse us.

[reporters shouting]

[somber music]

- [Bailiff] Rise.

[somber music continues]

- Sir, my

client,

Mrs. Litvinenko,

as you know, has fought
long and hard to reach this,

the opening day of
a public inquiry

into the assassination

of her husband in 2006.

That murder

was an act of
unspeakable barbarism.

The significance of this
dreadful murder, though,

resonates far beyond those
immediately involved.

It is a matter of grave national

and international concern.

On his deathbed, Mr. Litvinenko
accused Vladimir Putin

of having ordered
his assassination,

and we, sir, so on hearing all
the evidence out before you

that you will conclude

he was right about that.

[people murmuring]

[elevator dings]

[cellphone ringing]

- Brent.

- Hello, Jim.

Um, sorry to do this
out of the blue.

The original
interview transcripts,

how do I get those?

- It'll be summaries on the
database of Operation Wimble.

- No, not the summaries.

The whole lot.

- [Jim] How soon d'you need it?

- How soon can you get them?

- [Solicitor] Whenever
you're ready, I think.

[people chattering]

- Mrs. Litvinenko, when
you first met your husband,

what did you understand
his job to be?

- He was, uh, Special Unit,

FSB.

- But he had concerns over
corruption within the FSB,

did he not,

to the point where
he submitted a report

to the head of the FSB?

- That is correct.

- Who was the head of
the FSB at that time?

- Vladimir Putin.

- [Robin] Thank you

- Mrs. Litvinenko, when he
reported those concerns,

did he think Mr. Putin
would act on them at all?

- No.

Very soon Sasha realized that

Putin will not act
against these people.

- No?

Why?

- Because Putin
knows these people.

He protect them,
protect himself.

- Putin was involved
in these plots.

That was your husband's view.

- Yes.

- [Sir Robert] Thank
you very much indeed.

[bright music]

- [Ben] Sir, the next witnesses

will be from the
Metropolitan Police,

members of SO15
Counter Terrorism,

and the detective who led the
murder investigation itself.

- The polonium was found
in the Itsu restaurant,

where Lugovoy and Kovtun ate,

in the Millennium Hotel,
where they stayed,

in the Pine Bar,
which they visited,

at the table where they sat,

in the teapot that they ordered,

in the spout of the
teapot that they ordered,

that was on the
table where they sat,

in both their hotel rooms,

in the U-bend of the basin
in Mr. Lugovoy's room,

and, um, oh, several
other sites across London,

too long to commit to memory.

- Thank you-

- Including the
seats they sat in

on the flight they
flew in on from Moscow.

- Thank you Mr. Timmons.

[brooding music]

- Lugovoy was career KGB.

Mr. Litvinenko mentioned
that in his statement,

but we, of course, carried
out our own investigations,

and were able to verify that.

And if I may, it's worth
saying that, just this week,

Mr. Lugovoy was given a medal

for services to the motherland.

- And you mention that...

- We just all thought it was
curious timing, that's all.

- [Robin] You interviewed
Mr. Lugovoy in December 2006?

- Yes, that is correct.

- Am I right in saying

there is no tape recording
of that interview?

- I'm afraid that
is also correct.

- [Robin] That is
unfortunate, is it not?

- That would be
an understatement.

- Now, since you paused Mr. Tam,

may I ask

Mr. Tarpey,

is it right to say
that it's not the case

that there was no tape?

- Yes, there was
a physical tape.

- There was a tape
provided by the Russians

that purported to
be of Mr. Lugovoy,

but which was later found to
be blank, or wiped, perhaps.

- Yes, that is correct.

- An important
clarification, I think.

- Mr. Hyatt, the interviews
that you conducted

with Mr. Litvinenko in hospital,

do you have the
transcripts with you there?

Now, for this section,
sir, unusually,

we will be educing evidence

relating to the death
of Mr. Litvinenko

from Mr. Litvinenko himself.

The suggestion is
that Mr. Hyatt read

some of his questions
aloud for the court

and that I shall read the
answers given by Mr. Litvinenko.

Starting then, Mr. Hyatt.

- Um. [clears throat]

At the bottom of page 078,

I'm asking Sasha about the work

he was asked to do by the FSB.

"Your job was to kill.

That's what you're saying. Who?"

- "Enemies of the Russian state.

They give me names.
They must be killed.

That is why I am here today."

- "Because you killed?"

- "Because I refuse.

This job is not human.

FSB is corrupt.

I want to tell
this to the world."

- Then further on at 085,

I say to him,

"You became a target.

They sent someone
over to London."

Uh, Sasha agreed with that,

said he thought
someone had been sent

from Moscow to poison him.

Then my colleague,
Jim Dawson, asks,

"Do you have any idea who
might have ordered this?"

- "I know the man who
makes order for this,

the man who says I must die."

- "You have a name?
Let's start with a name."

- "His name,

Vladimir Putin."

[ominous music]

[rain pouring]
[thunder cracking]

[ominous music continues]

- [Sir Robert] Mr. Emmerson.

- Sir, the final chapter
will come, of course,

when you deliver your report.

But the evidence here,
sir, is utterly objective,

utterly damning,

and it has the simplicity
of undeniable fact.

Polonium-210

is only manufactured

in Russia,

in a tightly-controlled
state facility

in Russia.

In the hands of Mr.
Lugovoy, Mr. Kovtun,

and Mr. Putin, therefore,

it's not simply a murder weapon

but also a calling card.

- Mr. Emmerson, thank you.

[ominous music continues]

- What Now?

- Now we wait for his judgment.

- To judge the judge.

- [Ben] Exactly.

[door opens]

[Marina groans]

[intercom ringing]

[ominous music]

- Hello?

[ominous music continues]

- Mum.

[door opens]

[ominous music continues]

[streetlamps buzzing]

[Marina speaking in Russian]

You stop.

I will never stop.

[streetlamps buzzing]

[door slams]

[somber music]

[somber music continues]

- The inquiry has found
that Mr. Litvinenko

was deliberately poisoned

by Andrey Lugovoy
and Dmitry Kovtun.

The inquiry has also found
that Lugovoy and Kovtun

were acting on behalf of others

when they poisoned
Mr. Litvinenko.

There is a strong probability

that they were acting
under the direction

of the Russian domestic
security service,

the Federal Security
Service, or FSB.

And the inquiry has found

that the FSB operation
to kill Mr. Litvinenko

was probably approved
by Mr. Patrushev,

the then head of the FSB,

and by President Putin.

[thunder rumbles]

[Marina speaking in Russian]

[Alex speaking in Russian]

- Hi.
- Hi.

Why?

What is this?

Why you hide this from me?

When are you due?

- Any day now.

A little boy.

And, well,

we were hoping...

- Um, we were hoping,

if you'd be so kind,

as to give us your blessing, um,

to name him Sasha.

[Marina sobbing]
