[Heavy breathing]

Go on you can do it, sir,

[Sandra] When the
builders found this,

they called the local
police, who blew it up to us

when they realised
it was relevant

to an old murder case

[Jack] How long was
the trap door obscured?

[Sandra] Uh, builders reckon
the full ceiling was put in

some time in the fifties.

Any time after that it would
have been artexed over,

oh, bloody hell,
I can't do this.

Confined space, doctor's orders.

It's all right Brian,
you don't have to

come all the way up,
you can watch from there.

- Okay?
- Yep.

Look at that

great big white fibres.

Are they real?

Certainly are.

Real white fibres?

Yeah, yeah, come
and have a look.

Fantastic.

They are beautiful.

Look at them.

You all right?

Careful Brian.

That's all right, it's
just psychological thing.

I think she means mind
where you put your-

The suitcase had a label
indicating it was the property

of a Fred tulley.

Now tulley, who was single

lived in the house
with his parents

until he was murdered
in November 1953.

He was a wagers clerk
at battersea power station.

Hello, hello hello.

He was shot dead in the street

on the south side
of battersea bridge,

on a dark foggy afternoon.

The murder weapon,
which was later found

on a number 19 bus,

had been stuffed down
the back of an upstairs seat.

- Prince?
- White fiend.

But the witness who found
the gun, an Edward chambers,

identified a man
getting off the bus

as he was getting on.

That man's name
was Richard Dunn,

arrested within
days of the killing,

charged with murder, convicted,

refused leave to appeal,

hanged in may, 1954,

protested his innocence
the whole way.

Dunn was a villain right?

Yeah, he had
convictions for robbery

and at the time of the
crime he was on bail

for assaulting a police officer

the prosecution argued that Dunn

had been watching tulley,

worked out that he
was wagers clerk,

thought he was
taking cash to the bank.

Was he carrying cash?

Nope.

And now we find
he had five grand

in used fivers in his attic.

Richard Dunn has a
vociferous granddaughter

who's been active recently
claiming wrongful convictions.

On what grounds?

On the grounds that
the police conspired

to pervert the
course of justice.

Now, given the new
evidence about tulley

we're going to
reinvestigate the case.

All the original investigating
team are now dead,

but there was a, uh, sergeant
collinson who was on the case,

and he was still in the job
when you first joined, Jack.

He was my first
governor actually.

Really, what was he like?

Oh, he got results.

So, what'd you want.

Uh, Brian, you and I
will look at Fred tulley,

see what's known about him,

Gerry, you and Jack
re-examine the case

against Richard Dunn,
see if it still stands up.

We'd be lucky if there are
any witnesses still around

after all this time.

Was it something I said ahead?

Ahead of its time it was,

kept London's electricity
flowing for 50 years.

It's amazing to think that
they'd build a power station

right in the middle of the city.

Ah, but they had the technology

to tackle environmental issues.

90% of the sulphur was
removed from the chimney gases.

Mr. Murray, would you mind
if we talked about Fred tulley?

Come in.

Thank you.

[Door slams]

My grandfather Richard Dunn,

was the victim of
a massive injustice,

and the truth has been
buried for 50 years.

I don't believe that it's
gonna be uncovered

by a scratch team of
superannuated plods.

[Reporter] So can you tell us

why you're here today, Hannah?

I'm here to petition
the home secretary,

for a full scale public inquiry.

Silly cow.

Her bastard grandad was...

Uh, beg pardon, miss.

Don't mind me?

Shit house done.

He shot down Fred tulley
like a dog in the street.

What was your job at the
power station, mr Murray?

Oh, stoker in the furnace.

I thought the battersea furnaces

were fed by pulverised coal.

Oh yes, they were,
state of the art

as they'd say it now,

but the boilers that
were installed in the war

they had retort stoker furnaces.

Get away.

That's where I was working.

That's interesting,
because you're a-

not now, Brian.

Could Fred tulley, had been
involved in something illegal?

Fred tulley, was his
honest as the day is long,

and Richard Dunn
must be burning in hell.

And I'm looking forward
to being chief stoker.

[Brian giggles]

[Knocking on door]

Yes?

Sir Edward.

Mr. Halford, and mr Stanley.

[Jack] Good morning.

Thank you for
making time to see us.

I don't think we'll detain
each other very long.

In 1953 you were a witness
in the case of Richard Dunn,

who was accused of
murdering Frederick tulley.

That's correct.

Where re investigating the case

in the light of new evidence,

and we'd like a fresh
interview with you,

to see if anything might have
been missed or misinterpreted

in the original inquiry.

I regret I will not be
cooperating with you

in your investigation.

Why?

Richard John's granddaughter,

Hannah Parker, contacted
me sometime ago.

She had severe,

and I must say well
substantiated criticisms,

of the way the original
police inquiry was conducted.

Well we're going
to be looking at that.

Ms. Parker takes the view

that only a full
scale public inquiry

can deal with the matter.

She's asked me not
to cooperate with you

and your re-investigation.

I must say she was
very persuasive.

How do.

All right?

How'd you get on?

The archives of the central
electricity generating board

are absolutely fascinating.

Ta-da!

Battersea power station.

[Scoffs] Landmark of London,

secular cathedral,

temple of power,

the 105 megawatt generating set,

that came into
operation in 1935,

was the largest unit installed
in britain or the continent.

That's not actually what
I wanted to know, Brian.

No?

No.

Oh, sorry.

What about the wages office,
were there any missing funds?

No.

Okay so we're not
looking for a wages clerk

with his hand in the till.

No.

You know why they got
rid of these, don't you?

White fibres.

Why?

Because beautiful
though they were,

they were too
easy to counterfeit.

Now you have told
me something useful.

I'll get onto the bank of
england see what they can tell us.

So you never actually knew
your father, Mrs. Parker?

No, my mother married again.

I didn't find out what
my real family history was

until I was a teenager.

It must have been very
difficult to deal with?

Yes, it, uh,

it still is,

but if you let the fact

that your dad was hanged
for murder rule your life,

then they've killed you as well.

I survived got on with my life,

there was nothing
to be ashamed of.

Of course not,

but I'm afraid we do still
have to talk about your father.

Yeah, look, my
father was a criminal,

but he wasn't a murderer.

That's why we've
reopened the case,

that's why we
wanted to talk to you.

Obviously it's very
difficult to find people

who knew him at
this distance in time

we just wondered if you could
put us in touch with anyone.

My mother started a new life.

She didn't want it to keep up

with the people that
my dad had known,

and what relatives he had
that they've all gone now,

so, it's just me
and my daughter.

Hannah, she's very committed

to getting the
verdict overturned,

she would have been here by now.

But, uh, she's been
held up in court.

Anything serious?

She's a solicitor.

Oh I see.

Specialises in
civil liberties cases.

Ah.

Does she?

She advised me not
to answer any questions

in her absence.

[Phone rings]

Sandra Pullman.

Oh, thanks for
getting back to us.

So then it's a genuine?

Really?

No, no, that's
terrific, thank you,

you've been a great help.

Cheers, bye.

Well?

Those fibres were
taken out of circulation

in the summer of '53, they
should have been incinerated.

Where?

Well, in those days
they used a furnace

at battersea power station.

[Tense music]

Hello Douglas.

We need to have another word.

When Fred tulley died he was
in possession of bank notes,

bank notes that had been
withdrawn from circulation,

and should have
been incinerated.

You worked on the
retort stoker furnace,

as you were telling us.

Oh yes I did sir, correct.

Which is where the bank
of england came to dispose

of their bank notes.

Oh, well, it was all
a, a long time ago.

Well, I'm sure that'll be
taken into consideration

when deciding on further action,

along with whether you've
been cooperative or not.

The geezers from the
bank of england turn up,

and we have to stand well
back while they get on with it.

Now they shoved the money

in the lowest level
in the furnace,

then they bugger off
thinking the job's done.

But it wasn't?

It's all wrong.

Thick wads of paper
don't burn easily,

you have to put them
high up in the furnace,

where the temperatures hottest.

When I rake out
the ash the next day

I find the money.

So how long did this go on for?

Months and months,

until somebody noticed the
were note surviving the process

so they altered the
procedure, yeah,

made us stokers put
it in at a right level.

Though they never knew
we'd been having it away.

And tulley handled it for you?

He reckoned he
couldn't fence for us now

laundering they call it now.

I don't see the point of a
further police investigation.

Well, we're trying
to establish the facts

about Frederick tulley's death,

and there's some new evidence,

which is so in a different
light on Mr. Tulley.

I've established the
facts I'm interested in,

which show that my grandfather
was wrongly convicted.

Then we'd appreciate it

if you'd share your
findings with us.

My grandfather was a
victim of judicial murder.

It's putting it rather strongly.

Instigated by the police,

so what's required isn't
a fresh police whitewash,

it's a public inquiry with
evidence out in the open.

[Laughs] Southend.

Did you used to go?

Yeah.

Oh, the curser, what
a ride that was, eh.

Yeah, every bank holiday

we'd all bundle into my
uncle's Van and go down there,

I used to love it.

Me too.

My idea of a big treat was the

candy floss on the pier.

Sweet tooth, eh?

You know, I really don't
think my mother and I

have any more to say to you.

Yes, well if you should
change your mind

we'd be delighted
to hear from you.

We'll be in touch.

[Children chattering]

Afternoon ms Parker.

Mr. Standing.

I'm trying to tell
my girls about it.

I say imagine southend pier,

one of the wonders of the world,

it stretches so far out to sea,

you need a train to
get you there and back.

We had a beach
hut at shoeburyness.

All I can remember of shoebury
is when you went paddling

you could see right across
the thames estuary to Kent,

and you had this
magnificent view

of sheerness oil refinery.

That's right and
then every so often,

there'd be an almighty
bang, shell going off.

That's right, from the
artillery range down the coast.

Funny idea for a holiday
when you think about it, isn't it?

But we were happy.

Yeah, well yeah.

You know, I always thought I
had it hard when I was a kid,

but what you had to deal
with finding out about your dad

I'm not sure how I
would've coped with that.

I'm not sure if I ever did.

I always had the feeling,

that world could suddenly
turn upside down on me.

I could never believe
in any kind of security,

so I suppose I didn't
give it a chance,

that's how I broke up with
Hannah's father, really.

Yeah, there's a lot of it about.

That is terrific.

No, no I really appreciate it.

Well as soon as she can
find time basically as soon as.

Listen June, I promise
you you won't regret this.

We'll do a really
good job for you.

Yeah, great.

I'll speak to you soon, bye.

What was all that about?

June has squared it with Hannah.

She's going to cooperate
with our investigation,

going to share everything
that she's found out.

That's brilliant.

- [Gerry] Yeah.
- [Jack] Terrific.

Isn't it?

How does everybody else feel?

How did you swing that, Gerry?

Oh I use the old empathy.

People skills basically,
innit? [Chuckles]

Thanks for this Hannah,
hopefully you won't regret it.

This is a family matter,

and I'm respecting
my mother's wishes.

If it were up to me...

Well let's get on
with it, shall we?

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

So what's your understanding

of the case against
Richard Dunn?

Well within two days
of tulley being shot

Richard Dunn was
taken in for questioning.

This was on the basis
of information received.

From the bookie's
runner David walls,

he claimed that Richard Dunn
had robbed him at gunpoint.

Well, any investigator
would have to follow that up.

Well, go on.

What about material
evidence linking

Dunn to the crime scene?

A box of matches with
Dunn's fingerprints on

was found near the scene.

Before the arrest?

No, subsequently.

Richard Dunn maintained
that he was offered a cigarette,

and a box of matches by
detective sergeant collinson,

during one of his interviews.

Collinson and then
took the matches back.

Dunn later argued at his trial

that they were
planted at the scene.

Well he would say
that wouldn't he?

In 1967 the then detective
superintendent collinson

was in charge of an
investigation into the murder

of a prostitute.

A box of matches with the
prime suspects fingerprints

was allegedly
found at the scene.

It was later discovered
on appeal that the log

of the investigation had
mysteriously disappeared.

It would have shown
that the matches

were found after
rather than before

the prime suspects interview.

That's correct.

Collinson later retired
on medical grounds.

I can vouch for the
fact that Mr. Collinson

was under very
considerable stress.

And what about in 1953?

Was he under stress when
he fitted out my grandfather?

I'm in no position to
make any comment on that.

You know what, the
thing is in the 21st century,

this case would
never get to court.

Oh lovely, thank you.

We've got a much
of a Murray's prints

on the bands that held the
bundle of notes together.

Cooperation.

Doesn't really get us much
further though, does it?

No but there's more.

As well as tulley's prints

on the suitcase itself, they
think there's a second set.

They're gonna
have to do some, uh,

some clever stuff to
make them usable.

And they might be from
someone entirely unconnected

with the investigation.

As for instance, a
railway Porter, a taxi driver,

the vendor of the
suitcase, the former owner.

Yeah,

but it's worth pursuing, Brian.

Oh, certainly.

- Sandra.
- Eh?

Just there, you know,
about the fingerprints.

Mm?

I was telling you stuff you
already knew, weren't I,

stuff you could have
worked out for yourself?

Strictly speaking, yes.

Well, that was the
feedback I was picking up

from your body language.

Oh.

I'm sensitising myself
to the reactions of others.

Jolly...

Jolly good.

I thought you'd
like that, you know,

Esther's all for it.

We still have the evidence
of the guy who found the gun.

Edward chambers,
posh background,

national service
officer on leave.

I mean are you telling me
that the police lent on him

to make him tell porkies?

Very credible witness.

I'm sure the police were
delighted when they managed

to manipulate him into
making an identification.

His, uh, pa said she
could probably find

a window for us this afternoon.

Brian, come and
take a look at this.

It's from forensics.

Sorted out those fingerprints.

No, no, look, there's
something hidden in the lining

of the suitcase.

Oh, yeah, interesting,
do they know what it is?

They think it's a fragment
of a document of some kind,

they're going to
try and get at it,

but it's a bit of
a delicate job.

Thank you for your
cooperations, redwood,

bit of a tall order asking
you to recall events

of some 50 odd years ago.

No, 50 years ago is easy,

but when you're
knocking on a bit,

last week fades into the mist,

don't you find?

So you're still clear
about the circumstances

of finding the gun.

Oh, yes.

According to the case
papers you were on leave

from the army at the time.

Yes, second
lieutenant chambers, 19,

still thoroughly
wet behind the ears.

And you caught a number
19 bus from battersea bridge?

Yes, i-I didn't have to go far,

but, um, I was feeling
the cold after the tropics.

I went upstairs, I was
a smoker in those days,

and I was passed by a man
in a hurry in his way to get off.

And this was the man
that you later identified

as Richard Dunn?

Yes, yes it was.

Yes, well more of him later.

So you, so you took
a seat on the bus?

Yes.

And I thought well this
isn't very comfortable,

even by the standards
of London transport

that I was aware of.

There was something
down the back of the seat,

so I, I felt around and
encountered the familiar shape

of a webley service revolver.

Is this the weapon

that was used in evidence?

Yes, the quickly came
up the stairs at that point

rather pretty blonde actually.

I told her we needed
to contact the police.

Did you describe the
man you saw to the police?

Yes, but not in any great detail

because I had no
reason take notice of him.

But you subsequently
picked Richard Dunn

out in an identity parade.

Yes, the truth is,

that as I was being escorted
through the police station

before the identity parade,

I caught a glimpse
of a man in handcuffs,

being led down a corridor
by the detective collinson.

I thought it was just
a chance encounter,

but when Hannah contacted me,

I realised that had been
very cleverly staged managed.

And that man was Richard Dunn.

Yes, and when I saw
him in the identity parade

I suppose he must be the man.

Collinson was blatantly
breaking the rules, yet again.

Was the identification
challenged at the trial?

Not with any great vigour,

and I made up my mind that Dunn

was the man I seen
leaving the bus, I'm afraid,

and there was so much
more evidence against him.

All worthless.

Have to admit it Hannah,

you've done a good
job for your grandfather.

Couldn't someone done
it better one at the time?

[Giggles] Look what I found.

Candy floss.

But it's a tub, it
used to be on a stick.

Yeah, well health and safety,

you know, my mum used
to bring us here all the time.

I only really
remember the fun fair,

but I thought the
park was much bigger.

No, it used to be much smaller

which is true.

And I'll tell you something
else, to be honest...

This stuff's disgusting.

Yeah, yeah.

I'll tell you what, why don't
we pretend we're grown up,

and go and have a drink.

Yeah.

So where exactly do we
stand with this inquiry Sandra?

Well we now know
that Fred tulley,

far from being a squeaky
clean pillar of society,

was involved in a fiddle
with big white fibres.

Which means the
motive for killing him

needn't have been a
straightforward street robbery.

And the prime suspect
Richard Dunn was convicted

on the flimsiest of evidence.

In fact there is no evidence
connecting Dunn and tulley

that stands up to
serious examination.

The police stitched him up.

Yeah, well as far as
policing is concerned

I'm delighted to say that
the past is another country.

They do things
differently there.

Lp hartley.

He wrote that.

Yeah, I know that Brian.

Oh, sorry.

Right, is there anything else?

Yes, we also know that
Douglas Murray was involved

in this scam with tulley
and he's been lying about it

for the last 50 years.

Of course, we don't
know that Murray's

telling us the truth even now,

maybe he thought he'd
been jipped out of the money,

and took it out on tulley.

Of course, that's just
speculation on my part.

What does everyone else think?

Well what I think is the
budgets aren't infinite,

perhaps we should spend hours
on more productive avenues.

Look, look, look, the Dunn
family have been living

with a wrongful
conviction for 50 years.

Don't you think they're
entitled to a complete answer?

Or maybe some things
are too deep in the past

to be satisfactorily
resolved, Gerry.

We're not here to
provide family therapy.

We are still waiting on
some forensic material, sir.

Yeah, well the best of
luck, but the metres running.

When I tell my
kids how I grew up,

you'd think I was talking
about another century.

Well you are, actually.

Yeah, [laughs], I
suppose technically, yeah.

But have you got a bain-Marie?

A what?

Well what a blender, then?

No.

You've got no
kit in this kitchen.

It's a wonder you
haven't starved to death.

It's designed for a working
woman, not a celebrity chef.

All right, well i'm gonna
have to improvise.

Now...

June.

You didn't think it was
appropriate to come to my place,

so we've come to your place,
and you're still wound up.

I'm sorry

come on, come on,

sit down, have a
delicious glass of wine,

and relax.

We're just having a
nice meal and a chat,

I mean you're not selling
your soul to the devil [laughs].

That's not the way
Hannah would see it.

[Door slams]

Hello darling, it's me.

Esther?

[Esther] I'm in here.

Ahem.

Red and white roses?

What?

Oh, Brian.

[Esther sighs]

Mm.

Yeah, that's,
that's really good.

And why are you so surprised?

Well, I do wonder.

With all that '50s nostalgia,

I thought it might be
brown windsor soup

followed by toad in the hole.

Now they're all limits,
the past wasn't that good.

No.

So,

how about the future?

Remind me Gerry,

how many times have
you been divorced?

Three.

Yeah, but I didn't
have the maturity then.

No.

So, um, what's changed?

Oh everything.

My three marriages went sideways

'cause I was always firing
after glamorous glitzy blondes,

but with you it's different.

Oh yeah?

Oh definitely.

I mean you're
not my type at all.

That's terrific,
Gerry, thank you.

Oh, no, no, I didn't mean that.

I didn't mean-

shh, shh.

When you're in a
hole, stop digging.

[Classical music plays]

Oh, Esther, come on, of
course, I haven't forgotten

your father's funeral.

It's just the composition

of the floral tribute
that slipped me mind.

Esther.

[Jack] Morning.

[Gerry] Morning all.

[Sandra] Morning.

[Brian] This is a turn up.

What is?

Usable prints have been
retrieved from the suitcase.

Yeah?

And we've got a much for them.

Richard Dunn.

So there was a connection
between him and tulley?

Yeah,

and this puts Dunn
right back in the frame.

Oh shit.

Who's gonna tell the family?

Well I suppose I'd better.

Mr. Empathy himself.

Shut up Brian

What this is bullshit?

[Gerry] Oh, Hannah, please.

I knew we should never
have cooperated with you

it's a coverup, the
establishment just can't admit

it hanged in innocent man.

I'm sorry, but the
evidence is very clear.

You people have
faked evidence before

and you're faking it again now.

I think you better calm down.

I am taking this matter directly

to the independent police
complaints commission.

We are only trying
to get at the truth.

We have no more to say to you,

would you please leave my
mother's house immediately?

June.

You'd better go.

[Sombre music]

You've told a lot of lies
over the years Douglas,

we don't want any more.

You, Fred tulley, Richard Dunn,

you were all in this money
scam together, weren't you?

I never met Richard,
Fred dealt with him.

What sort of dealings
are we talking about?

Well, Richard was villain,

he had contacts who could
put the money about, launder it,

take a cut, give us back
loaded nomination notes,

we could use without
showing out too much.

How did Fred and Richard meet?

Oh well, Fred was
having a drink in a pub,

and Richard was knocking
out stuff falling off a lorry,

they got talking, felt they
could do a bit of business.

How do they get
on with each other?

Well, I mean what Fred
was up to was white collar,

more like fiddling really.

Richard was more
dangerous, you know,

he was, uh, he
could use violence.

Are you saying he used
or threatened violence

against Fred tulley?

Well somebody did, didn't they?

And you kept quiet
about all of this,

during the original
investigation, and the trial.

It suited me,

if it looked like a street
robbery gone wrong.

Maybe it suited you that
Richard Dunn went down for it?

It seemed to me he did it.

I certainly didn't.

You think otherwise,
you prove it.

[Phone rings]

Excuse me.

Jack, hi.

Okay, thanks
we'll be right there.

We're not finished with you.

[Tense music]

Jack.

This is the document
that was found in the lining

of the suitcase.

You can hardly read it,

it's all singed
around the edges,

but there's some
reference to Kenya,

and the massacre of the kikuyu,

but it's all torn at the bottom,

and there's a date,
6th of the 12th '53.

No, no, hang on, that
doesn't make sense,

December 1953 would have
been after tulley was killed.

No, no, no.

Not December,
June, the 12th of June.

I think this is American.

You know, the way
they have the dates

the other way around from us.

As in 9/11.

This is from the
American embassy.

How can you know that?

Brian, how on earth
could a document

from the American embassy

have found its way into the
possession of Fred tulley?

From the power station.

What, battersea power station?

They didn't just burn
bank notes there.

The American embassy

used to bring their confidential
documents for incineration,

it's all in here.

And this is the first time
you thought to mention it.

It's a bit obsessional going on

about power station
history, isn't it?

I didn't want to bore people.

I'm trying to sensitise
myself to negative feedback.

Sandra!

Something else you
haven't told us about dougy.

Ah, yeah, the embassy,

the bank of england, we're just

gentleman amateurs
by comparison.

It was a real circus
when the yanks came,

convoy of jeeps,
armed military police.

And this happened
how frequently?

It was part of the routine.

And like the bank notes,

some of these documents
clearly survived the furnace.

Well, now and again.

I couldn't see that
were worth anything,

but when I told Freddy
he said you never know,

they take all that trouble
to get rid of this stuff,

might be worth
something to somebody.

So you passed the
documents to Fred tulley.

What did he do with them?

Search me, I never
heard any more about it,

didn't interest
me, to be honest,

all I wanted was
the bread and honey.

[Brian] 1953, the
British army is fighting

the mau mau rebellion, in Kenya.

Yeah but that was
all about the natives

getting restless and killing
white settlers, wasn't it?

Well the mau mau certainly
had blood on their hands.

By the time the state
of emergency ended,

they'd killed around a
hundred white people,

but also 2000 africans
suspected of collaboration

with the colonial authorities.

I'm sorry, but what's this
got to do with our case?

Well, hang on Gerry
I'm getting there.

What we didn't hear
about at the time

was the casualties
on the other side,

at least 11000 africans
died at the hands

of the colonial authorities,
either killed in battle,

or tried, and executed,

or in some cases massacred.

Document's been
enhanced listen to this.

"CIA head of station Nairobi,

reports reliable
account of killing

of 15 unarmed kikuyu civilians,

in Kenya central
highlands, by Somali troops,

under command
of British officer..."

And the rest has been torn off.

Our Edward chambers
was on leave from the army

when he found the gun
and ID'd Richard Dunn.

So if chambers
had served in Kenya,

he could be the officer that
this document is referring to.

And tulley could have
found the document,

and blackmailed chambers.

Did any of you gentlemen
actually do national service?

When I was already down
for the police, I was exempt.

God no, far too young.

Yeah me too.

You must understand that
they did rather drop one in it.

I went from school
to national service,

and was shipped out to Kenya
to hold down a fraying corner

of the empire.

A mau mau emergency?

The shorthand term for
a very complex situation.

Nationalism, tribalism.

Most of the killing

was done by the
africans themselves

during the time of the emergency

there were instances of
civilians being killed by troops,

under British command

now, certainly that is true.

In fact one British officer
was prosecuted for murder

were you ever involved
in such an incident?

Certainly not.

You come from a very
wealthy family, sir. Edward.

Well, it depends what
you're used to really.

But I, I can see the point.

Back in 1953 was any
attempt made to blackmail you,

over allegations
that you ordered

a massacre of African
civilians in Kenya?

What on earth would
lead you to suggest that?

This was found in the
possession of Frederick tulley

at the time of his death.

I don't see how this implicates
me in any conceivable way.

Since you were instrumental

in getting Richard Dunn
hanged for killing tulley,

I think it's a
remarkable coincidence.

Coincidence,

not very remarkable.

How many people go on
about conserving energy,

but this place was
pumping its exhaust steam

under the thames
to provide hot water

and heating for the
council estate in pimlico.

Magnificent.

Of course, the
outside appearance

was down to sir
giles Gilbert Scott,

architect of
liverpool cathedral,

and what he's given us here
is a quasi religious building.

A temple of power.

I thought we'd established,

you are interested in
power station history?

When it's relevant
to the case, Brian.

Here's the bus.

Over here!

God, it takes you
back, doesn't it?

You know, it was on the top
deck of one of these in 1961

I had my first adult experience.

I don't think I wanna
know about that.

I smoked a woodbine.

Look, can we get on
with the reconstruction?

Yes.

So, I am Edward chambers,

19 years old, public school
boy, officer and gentleman.

We'll use our imaginations.

You're the clippy.

[Bell rings]

Alright then, who are we?

Well that what a couple of
passengers on the top deck,

down the front end,

they weren't in a
position to see anything

and weren't called as witnesses.

You can be them.

Oh, thanks.

Come on, age before beauty.

Pearl before swine.

[Brian] Hurry up.

Alright, move down the bus.

Now I, lieutenant chambers,

have secreted about my
person, the murder weapon,

but far from
discovering the gun,

I am in fact
attempting to hide it.

[Gerry and Jack laughing]

Any fares, please.

For the webley 38,
it's a large weapon,

difficult to wholly conceal.

Now, you're the bus conductress,

what are you concentrating on

when you get to the top deck?

New faces, people
who haven't paid yet.

So you're looking at me,

so now I have to make
a split second decision.

"Uh, miss, I say..."

"What, guv?"

"I think we're gonna
have to call the police."

"Cor, stone the crows."

"Did you notice that
man who just got off

was in rather a panic?"

Now, I wouldn't be bothered
with someone getting off,

I'd only be interested in
the people who hadn't paid.

[Jack] So it was chambers.

Yeah, ds collinson wanted
Dunn to go down for it whatever,

so he let chambers see him

on the way to the
identity parade.

And chambers is home and dry.

Identifies Dunn, and
collinson does the rest.

Well we can tell
each other the story

till the cows come home,

are we actually going to
be able to make it stand up?

No.

Not with what we got so far.

Douglas Murray's
behind all this,

he's a conniving little sod.

Let's have another go at him.

Yeah. Mob handed.

[Children's toy bleeps]

[Dramatic music]

[Door creaks]

Back-up's on the way.

We'd better call an ambulance
just to make sure but...

Okay, cheers.

Bye.

Preliminary post-mortem shows,

that Murray died
from head injuries

resulting from blunt trauma,

and there's also signs that a TV

and a video recorder
went missing.

Or maybe it was a blind,

just to make it
look like a burglary.

Now we put chambers in
the frame for killing tulley,

because we thought he could
have been a blackmail victim

back in '53.

Are you saying Murray was
blackmailing him as well?

Well at least it has the
virtue of consistency.

No, no, hang on a
minute, Murray's been living

in a low rent flat
for the last 50 years,

if he had anything on
chambers worth money,

what's kept him so long?

I can't answer that.

Are you telling me that,
sir. Edwards chambers

jumped in his roller,
swanned off down to battersea,

and battered a
retired stoker to death?

Do me a favour.

Takes you back, done it?

At least we're not
on offer these days.

[Car brakes]

Here we go.

[Police officers
talking indistinctly]

[Battering ram banging]

Do you miss it, the
old adrenaline rush

when you're on a spin?

No.

I do.

It was an interesting
opportunity

to look over different
people's houses.

Aye, got your message.

What's going on?

Forensic found a DNA match

at the scene of Murray's murder.

Guy who lives in
the house, Ferris,

has got form for violence.

[Sombre music]

That's him!

Didn't they make a
wrong number phone call

to make sure he was in?

What do they teach
the kids these days?

[Car brakes screeching]

Drive Jack.

Good job's a man
on beta blockers.

[Dramatic music]

[Police siren wails]

Armed police, stand still.

All right, all right, all right.

Jason Ferris.

It's quite a file
you've got here Jason,

kept yourself very busy.

[Brian] Ooh, a few
years in the army.

Including six months
in the glass house.

Then civvy street,

civilian crimes,
civilian prison.

And then you went
abroad for awhile.

Bit of a gap year, was it?

Travel the world,

meet new people, kill them?

You've got it all
written down there.

Yes, but we want to
hear about it from you.

I spent a few years
doing contract work

for security firms.

Where exactly?

Africa mostly.

Sierra Leone, Liberia,

the Democratic
republic of Congo.

So what used to be
called a mercenary?

Call it what you like.

It says here that you specialise
in close protection work,

bodyguard for vips.

Yeah, I've done a bit of that.

You must have met some
very interesting people.

That's confidential.

Two years ago your
firm provided security

for transnational
minerals in the Congo.

The chairman of the
transnational board,

sir. Edward chambers,
made a high profile visit,

did you meet him?

It's possible.

For the benefit of the tape,

I'm now showing Jason
Ferris a newspaper cutting.

That's sir. Edward, on
that visit with a bodyguard

at his shoulder.

It's you, isn't it?

I won't argue.

Now let's get serious,

did you burgle Douglas
Murray's flat at the instigation

of sir. Edward chambers?

No.

Whatever he's paying,

surely it's not worth
all those years inside.

No comment.

Every effort will
be made to trace

and seize anything
you've earned illegally.

I don't think I have anything
more to say to you people.

[Jail cell door slams]

I get offered bodyguards
in many of the places I visit.

None of them tend to
become personal friends

have you had any
dealings with Jason Ferris

since that time?

Not to my recollection.

Has Douglas Murray made a
fresh attempt to blackmail you?

No action of mine could
have laid me open to blackmail,

therefore there could
be no attempt in 1953,

and therefore there'll
be no fresh attempt.

It's a matter of record

that kikuyu tribesmen were
massacred by British troops

in the emergency.

And kikuyu were
massacred by kikuyu,

and so on and so forth.

People weren't
civilians or combatants,

they were farm workers by day

and mau mau guerillas by night.

Are you saying there was a
justification for what went on?

I'm not a moral philosopher,

but what I can tell you is
our experiences in Kenya

produced the tactics
for counter insurgency,

and are still being applied.

Dirty tricks for
dirty little conflicts,

with no honour or glory.

We're not here to discuss that,

we're here to talk
about your responsibility

for two murders.

You killed tulley yourself,

then you contracted Ferris
to kill Douglas Murray.

And that's the truth,

isn't it sir. Edward?

Well you've made a
quite fascinating trawl

into a long lost world,
and I have nothing

but praise for the team's
diligence and persistence,

but I've spoken to the
cps at the highest level

and there's no prospect
of bringing charges against

sir. Edward chambers.

You've got nothing
that'll stand up in court.

We are still investigating.

Nor are you likely to
find anything substantial

at this distance in time.

A man was hanged
on corrupt evidence.

Exactly.

The investigation and
trial of Richard Dunn

is a totally separate issue.

The papers will be
handed to the home office

and there's every possibility

that the verdict
will be overturned.

The family may well be in line

to make a claim
for compensation.

But that's not what they
want, they want justice,

and justice is nailing the
bugger who really did it.

All right, Gerry, that's enough.

Win some, lose some,

the further pursuit
of this inquiry

is not in the public
interest, end of story.

[Gerry scoffs]

[Sombre music]

[June] Hi.

Hi, I'm so glad
you got in touch.

I just wanted a
chance to tell you-

don't, Gerry, it wouldn't
have worked out.

I've done emotional
upheaval, I want a quiet life,

and you are not
the man for that.

No, but I'm getting quieter
all the time, I promise.

Listen in a couple of
years you're gonna have

to keep checking my pulse.

It's not a runner
Gerry, you know that.

So, why all the secrecy,
the hush-hush meeting,

I was hoping that
you were going to say-

Hannah sent me, and she
wants it keep strictly unofficial.

Well, if she's got
something for us.

It's a bit difficult, because
officially we're off the case.

Sir. Edward's a
very influential man.

Can't comment on that.

All right.

What does Hannah want me to do?

She doesn't want
you to do anything.

She wants something from you.

Have you seen this?

Yeah it's all over
the net as well.

Hannah Parker's website.

She had a letter
from Douglas Murray

only to be opened in
the event of his death.

Murray had the other half
of the document all the time.

Which stated that
the Somali troops

were under the command of
lieutenant Edward chambers.

Fred tulley had
left it with Murray,

but Murray never
understood the meaning of it.

Until we showed him the
half we found in the suitcase,

and that was when he tried
to put the black on sir. Edward.

All the African countries that
chambers does business with

are up in arms and
he's had to resign

as chairman of
ec mining limited.

So there is a bit of
justice left in the world.

Nevermind about justice,

the point is how the
hell did Hannah Parker

get hold of our half
of the document, eh?

Nothing to do with me sir,
I'm can assure you of that.

Strickland.

[Playful music]

Yes, thanks.

Hannah Parker is
on the BBC news.

I'm not prepared to
reveal my sources,

but I will say that even in

the most reactionary, corrupt
and incompetent institutions,

that there are one
or two individuals

who still know the
meaning of integrity.
