Did you?!

Well... as an ice skater.

The miners' strike. 'There were

Greenham common.

I had to go there as well.

'Women from all over britain camped at the us

There, there. Stop.

I had her!

The body of Josh livesey,
discovered 20 years ago.

And this is ex-detective inspector
Graham Moore, gentleman -

original head of
the murder team.

How do you do? Brian Lane.
Gerry standing. Hi. Right.

PC Clark. How do you
do? Pleased to meet you.

Ta. Clarky.

Ok. Josh livesey, age 22.

November 12th, 1984. Livesey
was struck on the head in stipes wood,

two miles from a peace camp outside
the NATO base at monken Hadley.

Subsequently, Josh
died, possibly of exposure.

Yeah, what was very interesting to
me was that the body had been moved.

Disturbed by animals. Foxes, we think. They'd eaten
away quite a bit of the flesh around the wound.

Livesey's clothes were torn. Also, blood had pooled in
parts of the body on the side where he wasn't lying.

The murder weapon was never
found. Forensics had a hell of a time.

'The murder of the young activist,
seen here, has caused outrage.'

livesey was intelligent - he'd just got his
degree. An only child, well-liked, no enemies.

Father was in the city - kept in touch
over the years. Mother too. Both dead now.

Anyway, livesey was one of five friends sharing
a couple of tents just outside the base.

Chief suspects? Oh, yeah.

What did they say? Wouldn't talk
to us. First, they were all in shock

after that it was naked hatred.

I was...

I was a "fascist puppet
of totalitarian oppression".

Nice. Now all we could get
from this lot is that livesey...

Left the tent about 1 am.

Now frank fox and Imogen hoult, who
shared a tent him, never saw him again.

Same with the other pair,

Colin dobie and Eleanor clement.
They claim they never left their tent.

Hoult went bonkers when she heard the news, shouting
the odds about security services and special branch.

Where is it? Yeah, she attacked a detective
sergeant koumas. Got herself arrested.

She was saying that we'd done it? 1984.
If your cat died, it was a police cover-up.

Do you talk to special branch?
Yeah. Said they didn't kill hippies.

- It was after the Brighton bombing.
- They said it was hard enough trying to catch the ira.

So, we have no weapon, no prints, no motive.
What's happened to put this case top of the pile?

Frank fox - one
of the suspects -

four weeks ago, he pleaded guilty
to the murder of a 40-year-old man.

And if he's killed one man, he might just have killed
before. Is he in prison? No, he's in broadmoor.

Brian!

You want to clear
up Josh's murder?

'Very good!'

hey! That's very good,
isn't it? You're very good.

It's funny? Of course
it's funny - I'm on seroxat.

Why was Josh
murdered? Who did it?

You claim to want to know.
Do you know why I'm in here?

I killed someone.

Did you? Yes. At a fair.

On a Ferris wheel. He was in the
seat behind. I stabbed him with a knife.

Know why?

Kept following me.
Mouths: Kept following me.

I'd been targeted.
Targeted? Really?

Who by?

By whom?

The intelligence services

for assassination.

He was an agent
licensed to kill.

He was a post office
worker and a father of three.

Yes, yes, well, they would
say that, wouldn't they?

Josh livesey?

He was my friend. You
were at monken Hadley.

You shared a tent.

You, Josh, Imogen hoult.

Remember?

Someone killed
him... Was it you?

(It's a secret.)

What is?

You mean what happened?

Frank? Frank?

What happened that night?

No one knows. And the
only person who does know...

Isn't telling.

Come on. No, wait.

Wait! Oi! Oi!

A guy says to a psychiatrist, "half of me thinks I'm a
tepee, the other half thinks I'm a wigwam. What's up?"

The psychiatrist says, "nothing, you're just too
tense." Two tents! Can you get me out of here?

Please? In my father's house
there are many mansions.

You can have one. Brian?

Can you get me out of here?

Please?!

Crowd shout

Like the fairytale - grimm.

Come on, then -
let's take a look.

How long did this take you?! Four
hours. You wanna get out more.

She asked for a map, not a copy of the sistine
chapel. Did you get lost? What kept you? Bevan.

I've asked about
talking to special branch.

Secret squirrels? What?
Intelligence services. Spooks.

You're not scared, are you?

All: No!

Never had dealings with
them, have you? Yes! Have you?

Course I have. This is 2004, not 1984. Whatever
experience you have of the security services,

things are very different now.

Ok. So, last suspects
were here, were they?

The protesters were convinced monken
Hadley was a NATO headquarters,

the command centre from which cruise missiles here and
at greenham common were controlled. Probably right.

How the hell do you know? My
degree. Politics, economics and history.

History? Yeah.
Well, it is, isn't it?

Ok, so livesey and his friends' tents
were over there... About 100 yards? 80.

The body was found in stipes wood, two miles away, so
it would've taken fox an hour to get there and back.

But according to Moore, frank fox
says he never left his sleeping bag.

Ok. So we'll talk to the other
person in the tent - Imogen hoult.

Imogen hoult. Born 1962.

Warwick university 1980-1983.
First-class honours in English.

Now runs her own PR firm. What
makes you think she'll wanna talk,

given past behaviour? She's
in PR. That's her job, innit, chat?

Imogen hoult? Holmes
and Watson are here!

I'd better go.

Jack halford.

This is Brian Lane. And this
is my husband. Hi, Colin dobie.

Imogen told me you were coming over, so I assumed
you'd want to talk to me about Josh as well.

Don't think they've made the connection about
our being married. Am I right? No, no we hadn't.

You see, they're policemen. Ex.
So the case has been re-opened?

Case was never closed. It's
being re-examined. Can I ask why?

Frank fox was jailed last month,
for murder. Yeah, course. You knew?

I'm with the central policy planning unit,
with interests in the home office. Whitehall?

Huh. You think my
husband's a civil servant?!

How fantastic. No, I work for the labour
party. And you do adverts, is that right?

Public relations. You were in
livesey's tent on the night he was killed.

Do you recall what happened?

Josh left... Late. He often
went out walking at night.

Frank fox and I stayed up talking for an hour, then
slept. Next morning we found out Josh'd been butchered.

Could fox have left the tent without you noticing?
No. How would you know if you were asleep?

It was a very small tent.

I'm a very light sleeper.

You got arrested that morning.

According to the officer concerned, detective
sergeant ed koumas... I-I thought this was about Josh?

It is. Ex-policemen? You were in
the met in the '70s and the '80s, right?

Once a whore, always a whore.

Sorry.

Coffee? Thank you.

Black, please.

A police record made things very difficult
for Imogen. That and Josh's death.

She's never really fully
forgiven the people concerned.

What about you?

Well, Eleanor clement and myself - we were seeing
each other at the time - we were in the other tent.

Didn't know anything about Josh
till the police arrived in the morning.

I meant about being upset.

Oh!

I was shocked.

Josh was more frank's friend than mine. But
you knew him? Yeah, but only through frank.

We had this idea you were all very close?
Bottom line was that Josh was a bit of a tosser.

"We have to make a statement. We have to cut the
wire, break in en masse!" Yeah. All five of us.

Who do you blame for his death?

We were all convinced it was
political - mi5, special branch.

"La systema" as the
Italians would say.

But now, you've changed your
mind? We were anti-nuclear, not anti...

..Money? And frank fox?

You heard what my wife
said. But what do you say,

given where frank is now and
how well you knew him at the time?

Well, how well do any
of us know anybody...

..Really?

What do you want, boys? Still
water, please. Orange juice, please.

Forensics. Don't worry - nowt new. Tell her
about hoult. Rude. Very. Not a criminal offence.

Should be. Rudeness and contempt - three to five.
She was categoric frank fox never left the tent.

So if he did do it, makes her complicit.
And she's now married to Colin dobie.

Interesting, given he was
with Eleanor clement back then.

Mr dobie not a big fan of the dead man. Not
a big fan of the class struggle either now.

What, does he work in the
city now? New labour. Urgh!

Prime example - said a lot, told us
nothing. He's got a criminal record.

What, arrests at political protests?
Violence - him and clement.

And clement?

Colin dobie and Eleanor
clement - working-class firebrands.

Arranged attacks on police during the warrington
messenger dispute. Arrested with hoult.

All livesey's friends got records for violence?
Thought they were peace protesters? Anything else?

What?

The well man clinic called. Couldn't
give me your results... thank you!

But you can stop
taking the pills!

Hi.

The duty sergeant told me you like
to drink here. Well, how's it going?

We've just been talking to
livesey's friends and apparently fox...

Fox! Now that's incredible!

You know just after I left
you, I remembered something.

Livesey's body, it had been disturbed by
animals. They'd eaten away some of the, um...

Flesh around the wound.
Foxes! I didn't tell you that, did I?

Well, actually...
no! No, you didn't.

Anyway, I just popped in because it suddenly
came to me, and I thought, "important!" Yeah.

Thank you. I'll leave you to
get on with it, then. Cheers.

Oh, shit! Think he just forgot
to tell us he's got Alzheimer's(?)

Better get another officer from the murder team. How
about that guy hoult attacked? Koumas. Ed koumas?

Detective sergeant...

We were at broadmoor...

Jack and me.

We saw an ex-student
protester from 20 years ago.

Paranoid - totally barking.

He killed a bloke...

And possibly another
- his best friend.

I think the '80s did
for him. What, drugs?

Drugs? Well, you
know... Student?

Oh... Yeah, probably.

Anyway, now he has nothing.

No-one to hold onto.

He's lost.

Thank you, darling.

Thank you for...

Not letting go.

Come on.

So, is that it? Is
that what happens?

You turn into Graham Moore,

and the next thing you know you're one of
those blokes you read about in the paper...

Squatting naked on a traffic
island chewing daffodils.

Great.

Bloody marvellous, eh? Faint
music through headphones

That's extraordinary!

Eleanor clement - essex girl.

Should've worn your shell
suit. Can't wait to see her house.

She lives on a houseboat. Turn right excuse me,
this is not a four-wheel drive! It's a classic car!

Oh, just drive, you big Jessie!
Gordon Bennett! Look at this crap.

Look at this shit. Oh, crikey. Look, I've got
high heels on! I'm hardly wearing galoshes myself.

Break my ankle on this! It's
all right. This better be worth it.

Ugh! Gotta be something wrong
with you to live in a place like this.

Eleanor clement? Yes.

Close your mouth, Gerry. It's
undignified. This is lovely, innit?

You really think you can find
Josh's killer after all this time?

Police techniques have
advanced quite a lot since then.

Things are pretty different now.

Things can only get
better? Did Colin say that?

It is his party's mantra. No.

But he did tell us that Josh livesey wasn't
as popular as we'd been led to believe.

They agreed to
disagree... Politically.

But then Josh did mean
different things to different people.

What did he mean to you?
Every group has a dynamic.

Well, you know
what I mean? Yeah.

Yeah, I know what you
mean. But it isn't a constant.

It bends with the
remover to remove.

But however much we
might change, Josh never did.

It was like he was fixed.

At the centre, so to speak.

He was our
conscience. By "group",

presumably you mean the five of you? It's changed
quite a lot since then, though, hasn't it?

You have convictions for violence.
Several, in fact. Only against the police.

A peace protester?

Have you read lampedusa?
Lampedusa? No.

"In order for things
to remain the same,

"things must change."

Does that include frank fox?
Or was he always like he is now?

No. Frank changed
completely after Josh's death.

Anger? Or guilt?

Frank adored Josh.

And you?

Have you changed?

My guess is very little.

When was the last time you
saw Josh? About ten o'clock.

That night in his tent after supper.
You were in his tent? We all were.

We used to gather there in the evenings,
decide what we were going to do the next day.

Then Colin and I would go back to our tent. I
don't understand why dobie didn't marry you.

Well, you're a much better catch.
Imogen hoult has quite a mind.

Besides, I think they're
better-suited. Ideologically.

I didn't think policemen
were interested in "ideologies".

The personal is always political.
Who do you think killed Josh?

Truthfully? You really
want to know? ..Them.

"Them"? The security services.

It's ironic, really. Josh, more than anyone, worked
to make sure that orwell's nightmare never came true.

And 20 years later,
what's happened?

Big brother isn't a warning
from history. It's a game show.

Josh livesey was a martyr.

Right.

When you came before, i-i
hadn't been taking my medication.

I'm sorry.

Trial transcript - yours.

"Mr fox suffers from paranoid delusions resulting
from brain damage almost certainly occasioned

"by years of
excessive drug use."

Starting when? School?

College? School.

What with - marijuana?

Dope, yeah. Grass mainly. I was
never into anything heavy, then.

Well, except maybe the
odd bit of skunk. Skunk?

Dutch. Very strong stuff!

What about the peace
camp? Do any there?

Yeah, course you did.

I-I can't remember.

Honestly, I-I don't
remember things.

I take these.

Every 12 hours.

Because like you, if I
don't, I turn into mr bonkers.

Oh!

Damn! What?

Empty.

What're you doing? I've run out!

Stop it! What?!

This! You can't do this
- you're a policeman!

Who told you that?

I think that's a
paranoid delusion.

I used to be a policeman,
but I had to leave. Why?

Tragic and unforeseen
circumstances.

A man left alone
in my custody...

Died.

The peace camp.
Skunk. Remember? Yes!

Yes, I-I did.

We all did. We'd spliff-up
together. The night livesey died?

Every night.

It was me, wasn't it?

It was me! It was me!

It was me!

Excuse me.

Just in case you're wondering,
I'm here visiting my friend.

Supporting him.

Just like I have constantly
for the last 20 years.

Ok?

How was essex? The
wildlife was stunning.

She's a tree-hugger.

Sorry - professional agitator.

Good lad.

Guardian article about the
peace camp, 11th November, 1984,

the day before the murder.

This is from the evening
standard the following day,

the day the body was found.

What am I looking at? The fence.
But what am I meant to be seeing?

They're different.
In this one...

There's a line of wire running
along the top of the fence.

In this one, there isn't.

The mod sign is
lower. Wire in...

Wire gone.

Different sections of fence. No, it's definitely the
same section. Day before the murder... Day after.

That has been changed.

Only the section between
the two posts. Either side -

the wire's as it was. The
only question is when.

After livesey died. At night, after he
died, but before the body was found.

Dobie said livesey went on about cutting the wire.
Well, he did. And they made sure nobody'd find out!

Who's "they"? You know what
i'm talking about. Secret squirrels!

Look, look, look. This section of
fence was replaced, right? ..Why?

Because someone cut the wire. Now what if that
someone, having cut the wire, then got into the base?

And while he's in
the base gets killed?

This section of fence is
80 yards from the tents.

How could it have been replaced at
night without anyone noticing? Well...

Impossible. Not if
they're all stoned.

Every night after supper,
according to fox. All of 'em.

Dope-fest. Skunk - some
heavy-duty stuff from Holland.

Have you been to see
fox again on your own?

Almost. I bumped into Colin dobie visiting his
friend. Even though he might've killed livesey?

Frank fox never killed
livesey. How do you know?

Because despite all the drugs,
he still remembers everything.

Everything except
killing his best friend.

I'm telling you, if he had done it, he
wouldn't let himself forget. He couldn't.

That still leaves us with three
suspects. No! Livesey cut the wire!

This murder all comes
back to the spooks.

Golden rule of
policing - page one.

In the event of security service
involvement, you cease to be.

Where are you going?

I've got a... Thing.

What's she doing? Dunno, but she's
in the mood to do something stupid.

What, like a date?
No, no. Not a man.

Secret squirrels. Aw, shit!

'She might need
our help. C'mon.'

my, god, I've been clamped!

What d'you expect?
You're in bevan's space.

C'mon, we'll go in mine. What did
you park there for? C'mon, hurry up!

He thinks he owns the place.
Little toad! I'll swing for him.

There's hardly room
for...! Tyres squeal careful!

Where's she going?

Taxi!

Whoa!

Careful! Bloody hell!

I have to inform you, mr standing, that you
have failed your test. She jumped a red light!

Special branch safe house.

So what do we do now?

What we were trained to do...

Wait.

I spy, with my little eye,

something beginning with... C.

Cctv.

Where? There, see?

It's trained on us.

It's a burglar alarm.
Eh? It's a burglar alarm!

It's been over an hour.

Conspiracy!

You can't see a conspiracy.
Course you can. See 'em all the time.

Hey, look!

Bloody hell! She's
seeing a woman!

Ah, well, it all makes
sense now, don't it? Shit!

Oh-h!

Hello! Very good(!)

I had no idea you were there. You
must've been on a special course.

We were only trying to make...
How dare you follow me?!

Look, it's um... it's
ok. We don't mind.

You don't mind?!

It doesn't change anything. Makes no difference
to us. We're all completely comfortable with it.

What are you talking
about?! Your sexuality.

My what?!

Well, you know... You and her.

"Shopping round the corner".

Oh, that's fantastic!

That... that is priceless!

She's not my
girlfriend, you stupid...!

She's my shrink!

Her shrink? What's
she doing with a shrink?!

You're the bloody
expert. You tell us!

Sorry... This is Greg.

Greg.

Di Greg Johnson,
det super Pullman. Hi.

Can we talk?

Sandra, because we know each other this
meeting's strictly... Don't say off-record.

There's two of
you - end of story.

Ok, how about I lead? Um...

What is your interest in special branch
personnel and what bearing does it have

on any current investigation
into the murder of Joshua livesey?

Special branch personnel? Mmm.

Well, does it have a bearing?

An officer of your experience must know that any
such request must go through the proper channels.

We are at the early stages of
our enquiry, but since you're here,

it would be very useful for me to have a categoric
assurance there was no political aspect to this case.

There wasn't.

Great(!) Now we can
all live happily ever after.

I was told you were flying
by the seat of your pants.

They must be lucky ones.

Yeah, it's funny, cos you see
the harder I work, the luckier I get.

Ok. How about Joshua livesey was
not killed by the intelligence services,

nor the military, nor any other agents of
government - accidentally or otherwise?

On record. Sandra...

You can have it written in
blood if you like... Ma'am.

I want to close this case. I promise you there is no
desire on our part to obstruct your investigation.

Just don't run any more checks
on special branch personnel.

Deal?

Ok.

Thank you... Nice
to have met you.

Sandra, I'm sorry.

Door shuts

just to show willing, I'll
let you keep the tape...

If you agree to have dinner
with me. That's my number.

'Ok, how about Joshua livesey was
not killed by the intelligence services,

'nor the military, nor any other agents of
government - accidentally or otherwise.'

you taped him?! Special branch?!

Isn't that what you
always do? Not them!

What are you doing?
Looking for bugs.

Special branch - you never believe 'em and never
trust 'em. This is all down to you telling bevan.

Special branch did not come
calling because I spoke to bevan.

Clark! Yes, ma'am?

Who have you been trying to
trace on the police database?

Well, mr Lane
said... just tell me.

Koumas.

No-one else? No.

Now, why would you
ask Clark to look him up?

You, who knows the cv of the
entire met for the last 30 years?

And I'll bet you didn't get any
information back on this ed koumas.

No, and you won't.
Wanna know why?

Because his
details are restricted.

He's special branch?
Shit! I told you!

I mean, even if livesey did cut the wire
and break in, why would they kill him?

It's ridiculous. Maybe the
base guards got hold of him.

Dogs. He panics,
it's an accident.

No. No, no, it's murder.

But you don't murder a nobody.

Clement didn't think he was a nobody. Clement,
dobie and hoult were all violent left-wing activists

under surveillance
by special branch.

Absolutely. So why do they bring
in yet another man on the scene,

this "detective sergeant ed koumas",
and stick him in the murder squad?

Hi. Oh, hi, Graham, come in.

(You can't be serious! It's his short-term
memory that's gone, not long.) Graham.

Hi, Graham, thanks for coming in.
No no, thank you. So, how can I help?

There was an officer on your
original team - ed koumas.

How well did you know him?

The Josh livesey murder?

Koumas? The cop who arrested
Imogen hoult - the girl who lost her rag?

Oh, koumas! Koumas,
yeah. Um... no.

No. There were
five or six of them.

Some I knew, some I didn't.

Five or six what?
Well, men like koumas.

Officers attached on the day.

He searched the tents. That's
what seemed to set the girl off, I think.

Koumas searched the tent? Yeah,
both of them. Didn't find anything.

What? Is there a problem?

Hi, frank.

Come and sit down.

Come on.

So, how are you feeling?

I feel ok.

We spoke before, remember?

The peace camp?

About Josh?

He kept saying he was
going to cut the wire, didn't he?

That night? Did he go
out and cut the wire?

Frank?

Prove he could do it.

I said I'd go with him. I was
supposed to go with him.

I didn't.

Why not?

I was scared. Of what?

Everything.

They were watching
us. Following.

Was that before or
after they'd all had dope?

No. They were
there all the time.

Josh knew. He knew their
secret. But they didn't know his.

What secret was that, frank?

It's not a secret if
you don't keep it.

I promised Josh.

Was it to do with the two tents?

You said, "two tents",
frank, remember?

It's his secret.

Josh's.

I only know how to keep it.

You know how to keep a secret?

Like a mole. In the dark.

Hi. Thank you. Well, it's
lunch and not dinner, but...

Just, um, just don't say
anything for the moment, yeah?

Thanks. Thank you.

I'm, um... I'm not prepared to
be messed around any longer.

So you need to realise that
if I'm truly honest with you,

you have to return the
favour, understand? Yeah, ok.

What do you want from
me? Honestly? Yep.

From you, nothing.

Nothing? Ok. To you, um...

I want to make love to you,
if we're being truly honest.

Josh livesey had a secret.

What was it?

Oh, so this is a
working lunch, is it?

You said you wouldn't obstruct
my investigation. So don't.

You would have had those people under surveillance.
Well, not personally. I was 14 at the time.

Sorry.

Ok, what did your lot
know about livesey?

Er, he was a student. That's about as interesting
as it gets. We don't kill boring people.

If special branch had nothing
to do with livesey's death,

then why was one parachuted into the murder team without
the knowledge of the senior investigating officer?

We know about the fence. We know that a section
of fence was replaced the night Josh died.

Why would we do that? Why?!

Because of the outcry - press and public - if a young
activist is found beaten to death inside a NATO base.

Especially when her majesty's government was hardly
flavour of the month. It's called a cover-up.

All right, let me ask you this - what sort
of cover-up allows a body to be found at all?

He died inside the
base. Yes or no?

Base personnel discovered livesey's body ten feet inside
the wire. You bastards! That body was later moved.

And that doesn't mean that
anyone on our side killed him.

So why move the body? Like you
say, it doesn't look good on the cv.

Sorry, um... look, if you possessed the means
to determine the identity of the perpetrator,

you, a detective, would understand
the need to buy the time to do so.

Unfortunately the murder
weapon gave us nothing.

Murder weapon? Bolt-cutters. They only had
livesey's prints and, well, his blood on them.

Where's the weapon
now? It was disposed of.

The person whose decision
it was had five hours to act.

In the circumstances, it was
a pretty good call. Really?!

Moving the body stymied Graham Moore's
investigation, and you failed to ID the killer.

Also, 20 years on, we might have recovered vital
evidence from this disposed-of weapon, so what was good?

Ok, it was a cock-up,
but not a conspiracy.

Thank heavens for that!
Gin and tonics all round.

You asked me to be
honest. I have been.

Nothing. Nothing? Nothing.

Hoult, I. Hoult, Imogen. Even under
her married name. Nothing there.

I am a mole and
I live in a hole!

Hiya.

Ok, guys. I've just met with
someone from special branch.

You've what?! Just wait.

Di Johnson admits that
livesey died inside the base.

Special branch recovered the
weapon and moved the body,

but he was dead
when they found him.

Also, that ed koumas was their
man trying to find out what happened.

He failed. You believe that?

He didn't have to tell me
anything, so why admit to that?

He wants to see you naked. He wants the killer
caught. Is that why they arrested hoult?

Imogen hoult was released without charge. There is
no record of any assault on any det sgt ed koumas.

Hoult's not on the national criminal database.
We checked. She has no record at all.

She was arrested in warrington as well, remember?
In the wonderful far-off days before computers.

Yeah, we phoned them.

An Imogen hoult was arrested during the
messenger dispute, but released without charge.

They still have the details. Date,
time, who she was arrested with...

And who the
interviewing officers were.

Go on - have a guess.

Ed koumas. Livesey's secret...

Imogen hoult was a special branch mole.
If she realised she'd been discovered...

Imogen! I'll be with you in a
moment. Good to see you...

Afternoon, ms hoult. That's a joke,
is it? This is superintendent Pullman.

And this is my work.

Given your relationship
with Josh livesey, we hoped...

You hoped wrong. Can I
ask you just one question?

Why does your husband think you
have a criminal record? You don't.

I'm sure you find this kind of stuff fascinating, but
in the real world it's just a little sad-sounding.

The morning livesey was killed, you went berserk.
That's fantastic. Tell me, you think I killed Josh?

No, Imogen, what's fantastic is you attacked an officer
who'd been in the murder squad since that morning -

the same detective who'd questioned
you in warrington 12 months earlier.

I think we're
finished, don't you?

You're right, you don't have
to answer any questions.

I'll tell the assistant commissioner
that a special branch informant

withheld information regarding livesey's murder,
for the simple reason that, I believe, she did it.

I think special branch will talk
to you before then. Oh, I'm sorry.

I hadn't made myself clear. I have
already spoken to special branch.

'By the early '80s
it was obvious'

we were heading for
disaster - the hard left.

You were a cop. You know what it
was like. Yeah. We got a big pay rise.

How did you start, as it were?
I was approached at university.

A short while later, I was given a handler.
Koumas? Yes. Specialist training. Money?

I'd have done it for nothing.

My job was to infiltrate student groups -
pass on the information. Clement? Fox?

Your husband? Yes.

Livesey? He hardly rated a
mention. He was a fantasist.

He was going to do this, that
and the other. Cut the wire?

Exactly. He did.

The night he died, Josh livesey cut the wire
and got into the base... Where he was killed.

Albeit, your mates in intelligence
say, not by them. In the base?

Koumas didn't tell you? He just asked what
happened when Josh left the tent. Stuff like that.

So, to avoid a major PR
disaster, they fixed the fence

and shifted the
body to the woods.

Josh died yards
from the peace camp.

So it could have been
any one of the four of you.

I never left the tent.

Really?

Shocked? Stunned. Yeah, well, if
she can lie to her husband for 20 years,

acting stunned won't stretch her too much. It
wasn't acting - she couldn't believe it. Hold on!

Are we saying that the killing had
nothing to do with her being a mole?

Course, somebody else could've
worked out there was a mole...

But got it wrong.

What, so they killed
the wrong person? Fox?

No. Dobie?

He thinks Josh was
a tosser. Clement?

I'll go. Thought you might.

Josh was... In the woods?

The body was moved.

So with livesey dying in the base, being
in the peace camp is no longer an alibi.

You admit to not liking him? I'm in politics.
If I killed everyone I didn't like, i'd...

Eleanor clement
and I were together...

All night.

Neither of you left the tent? We've
had this conversation before. No.

What did you talk about when
you visited frank fox at broadmoor?

The mundane.
It's easier that way.

Does he ever bring
up Josh livesey?

So he's never mentioned
anything about Josh's secret?

Josh's secret? Josh wouldn't know
what a secret was, never mind...

You don't know what
secret I'm talking about?

Josh's secret...

Is that he realised one of you was a
mole - an informant for special branch.

We believe that one of the rest
of you thought the same thing...

And killed Josh by
mistake, thinking it was him.

A mole?

At monken Hadley?

It was a peace camp.
You weren't very peaceful.

Special branch had a file
on you. What's so funny?

I don't know what's
more ludicrous, really -

someone imagining
Josh was a mole,

or the idea that any one of us
might have betrayed the others.

'I'd have done it for nothing.

'My job was to infiltrate student
groups - pass on the information.

'Clement? Fox?

'Your husband?

'Yes.'

as you say...

Ludicrous.

I'm sure with your standing in the party, you
could find out one way or another about your wife.

Anything you
want to tell us now?

No.

Nothing.

Am I free to go?

When we left your tent, Colin
asked me straight out about Josh.

What? Ssh! I couldn't lie, so I told
him the truth. Can you hear? Ssh!

You admit you and Josh were sleeping
together?! Yes. You're making it up!

What are they saying? Shut up!

I was inside the tent! Colin was
outside! You're lying, you're lying!

You wanna go and ask
him? Let's ask him...!

Urgh!

Why didn't you say anything? Because
he was only gone for a few minutes.

I thought Josh
died in the woods.

I don't know what happened.
I just know it wasn't me.

Gerry?

Gerry?

Stop mucking about! Come on!

Stop mucking about? You Wally!

Urgh!

Hang on, hang on!

What are you doing?

Phoning a taxi. I'm not
getting in there like this.

Don't be so bloody daft. Get in!
Oh! Come on, or we'll lose them both.

My god, you look like shit.
He smells like it and all.

Clement had no idea that livesey was killed behind the
wire, until hoult just accused her of murdering him.

The moment she heard that, she
did know who'd done it - Colin dobie.

Livesey wasn't
killed by politics.

Dobie killed him because he found
out livesey was shagging his bird.

Eleanor clement? Livesey
was giving her one on the quiet.

Ds Pullman, ucos, in attendance.
Oh! Oh, shit! Hold on, hold on.

Police and ambulance
to 10 Brighton mews, sw1.

42-year-old male, stab
wound to the left shoulder.

Urgh! It's not too
deep. He'll be all right.

Who's been a naughty boy,
then? Ok, who'd like to start?

Oh, bloody hell. They're not gonna
say anything, are they? They don't.

They're all 20 years old
again, resisting oppression.

"Bends with the
remover to remove."

Shakespearean love sonnet.

You were in love with him,
weren't you? Josh livesey.

You were Josh's
secret. Argh! Argh!

Colin here found out,
and so he killed him.

Once hoult realised it was someone in the other tent,
why did she think it was clement, not her husband?

That's the irony. She kept a
secret from him for 20 years.

She couldn't believe he was
capable of doing the same.

Hold on, here he comes.
He's asked for his solicitor.

Well done. Thank you, sir.

Somebody's pleased. He won't be,

when he finds out we banged up
one of new labour's top policy bods.

Oh, yeah... La
systema. It's Italian.

Sandra?

Her old man's a bit
of a charmer, isn't he?

Um, I'll be in touch. You should've
told me hoult was one of yours.

Is that him -

squirrel nutkin?

It's a dangerous game,

sleeping with the enemy.

You stink! You do, actually!
