In the criminal justice system,

the people are represented
by two separate yet equally important groups.

The police,
who investigate crime,

and the Crown Prosecutors,
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

I can see them now.
Over here!

Well, they're here.

We were jogging past.
We-- we heard it go off.

You're sure it was a gunshot?

We thought
it was a firework at first but,

He's over there.

There's an ambulance on its way.
Did you see anyone run off?

No, it was all over by the time
we got here.

OK.
You wait here.

Sarge,
everything OK?

Sarge?

Sarge?

Hotel Yankee from 28.
Urgent message, over.

- Receiving, over.
- Ambulance required urgently

to Battersea Park.

Victim is a police officer.

Repeat, a police officer
has been shot.

- Is it him?
- Yep.

PS Peter Garvey, Vice.

He died before the ambulance
got here.

- There was nothing we could do.
- His car's at the south exit.

- Forensics' going through it.
- Right who was first on the scene?

Ah, we were.

- OK.
- A couple out running heard the shot.

Five minutes later they see
what looks like a body.

Didn't wanna get too close,
so they called us.

OK. You OK?

- Yeah, yeah.
- It's his first death.

Doesn't help that
it's one of us.

No, you up for giving
your statements, though, guys?

All right.
Have a word with your chaps. Just get them to ask,

anyone and everyone if they seen
or heard anything at all, OK?

Thank you.

- They were together in CID, weren't they?
- Yeah.

Went through the academy together.
Garvey's his oldest mate.

Oh!

One shot, from the side.
GSR on his face.

They've walked up to him,
shot him, so Pete either knows the shooter--

- Or he didn't see it coming.
- Yeah.

Here he is.

Hey, Matt.

Matt, please, son, just a sec.

- Do yourself a fav-- Matt, Matt, Matt,
- I wanna see him Ronnie.

- You're not gonna-- Matt--
- Sorry, you can't go through.

Oh, God.

Come on, son.
Come away.

Hi!

No, Matt. No, please.

No.

I saw him this morning.

We were gonna meet
at his mother.

God, his mum.

It's OK, Mel. It's OK. I'll take care of it.
I'll tell her.

I'll tell Mary, yeah?

So, you were saying,
you were gonna meet Pete.

The-- the kids go
to their gran's every Wednesday after school.

So, then...

I close up the shop
and go and collect them

and if he turns up,
then we have tea.

And today he didn't show.

He left a note on the fridge.

''Working late, love.
Don't wait up.''

13 years.

I still can't go to bed
on my own.

I sleep down here sometimes
when he's on nights.

- It's--
- Mummy?

- Hey, Danny.
- Hello, mate.

- Hi.
- How's my little striker?

- What are you doing up this late?
- Where's Daddy?

Listen, mate,
why don't we get you back to bed? It's late.

All right.

You could show me
any new toys you've got.

How could I tell them?

This morning, did Pete mention
anything about the day, tonight,

or the case he was working on?

Talk to Jack Barr. He'll know.

He wasn't working last night.

What he was off duty?
You're sure?

Checked his duty state myself.

Well, any idea
who he was meeting?

Could be anybody, couldn't it?

Well, whoever it was,
they weren't meeting for tea and scones, were they?

That's the jobs
he was working on. There'll be a list of names

as long as my arm in there.

Look, I didn't wanna bother
his family last night.

I should go and see
Mel and the boys.

No name springs to mind, Jack?

A villain he'd nicked, maybe.
Or a tom he was friendly with?

Friendly with?

Pete's a family man.

- You of all people know that.
- Yeah, we're just doing our jobs, Jack.

Of course.

- We're all a bit shaken, that's all.
- I'd be shaken too.

I mean, god forbid Matty
got himself shot.

I'd be out there straight away

looking for the person
who did it and trying to string him up myself.

You think I know who did this?

I don't know
what to think, Jack.

How about you?

I was hoping to track it down,
before anyone noticed it was missing.

- Notice what was missing?
- Whoever Pete was meeting, it was serious.

He went tooled up.

Garvey illegally
removed a firearm from the property store?

There's no gun found
at the crime scene.

If he went there with a weapon,
Guv, he had good reason.

I don't give a toss
what reason he had

and nor will the press
when some kid gets killed by this gun.

Sorry, Matt.

Uniform talked to a courier,

who said she saw two men,

arguing outside the park.

Yeah, well,
there were no prints left in Pete's car.

So, we can assume
they carried the argument on inside the park right.

- Right, they are at the scene,
- Right.

they argue, it gets out of hand.
Pete pulls a gun, they struggle,

- Pete gets shot.
- That's it.

And the killer pockets the gun.
'cause his fingerprints are all over it.

- Precisely.
- Any suspects from his active cases?

No, they've either got alibis
or they're banged up on remand.

Robert, overtime.

So, why go armed?

Is there any suggestion
that Garvey could be dirty?

No, Pete's as straight
as they come, Guv.

Matt, only two reasons
you go tooled up to an off-the-book meet.

It's either to protect yourself
or to kill the other fella.

- Either way, mate, it's not very clever--
- Which bit don't you get?

- Work and family, that was Pete's life--
- No, no.

- No, no, look, Matt, I get it.
- It's all right.

You just gotta understand,
someone has to ask all the tough questions.

Ron's right, Matt.

If this is too hard for you,
we can always find someone else

who can handle it.

No, no. I'm fine.

You've checked his active cases.
Go through his closed cases.

Right.

Has he talked at all
since this started?

- Well, I'm keeping an eye on him.
- Thanks, Ron.

- Forensics report.
- Hallelujah. What we got?

Nothing. No shell casing.
No bullet. Nothing.

Our killer knows how to clean
a crime scene.

What. He's dead?
I haven't seen Garvey in years.

- I was at home on Wednesday night.
- Your supervisor says,

you were supposed to be working
on Wednesday night Tommy.

Yeah, well, I called in sick.
That ain't a crime, is it, lads?

No, but you're an ex copper
who thought helping himself to coke from drug busts

wasn't a crime either.
So, you'll forgive our skepticism.

That was years ago.

What and that's enough time
to forget about a grudge? Is it?

Those charges were dropped.

No. PS Garvey's case fell through.
It doesn't mean you're innocent.

- It means you got away with it.
- You know the score, Tommy.

We're not gonna go away, are we?

All right, look. I wasn't sick
and I wasn't at home.

I was dipping one of the girls
in accounts.

Charming.

Casanova's story checks out.
You know what, Matt?

I don't think we're gonna find
the identity of Pete's killer

in any of his old cases, mate.
I really don't.

Today's the first Friday
of the month, Ron.

First Friday we'd always
meet up, have a beer...

and a moan about work.

And?

Well, the last few times
he cancelled.

Right.
So, when did you last see him?

Sunday week.
He came round the flat.

Something about Danny making
the footy team, which was a shock.

- 'cause Pete was crap.
- And that's it?

Well, we always
had a few beers, you know?

I'd never seen him drink
like that before.

Let me tell you,
when I was drinking like that.

It was because something
was really wrong inside, really eating me up.

It had to come out
and I had to tell someone.

What are you saying?

Well, if we're not seeing
it in his files anywhere here.

And he never opened up to you.

Maybe Mel saw it at home.

The only couples who
don't have any problems after 13 years

of marriage
aren't couples any more.

If you've loved each other once,
then you stick together and you make it work.

How did Pete
seem, recently?

He'd been having problems
sleeping.

Well, that was just work.

He didn't talk to me
about that kind of thing.

He didn't wanna bring
that home with him.

He talked to you, didn't he?
About that sort of stuff?

Well, not recently, no.

So, how long
had this been going on?

Six months.

A year maybe.
I can't remember when I first noticed it.

The last couple of months
he'd been having nightmares.

Had he spoken
to you about those?

He'd wake up screaming and...

broke my heart.

Last week I woke up

and he was down here
in the dark, crying.

And he asked me what
did I think he was worth.

I thought regular counselling
would make it better.

Well, there's no mention
that he went to any counselling

- in his psych report.
- He wasn't seeing a police counsellor.

He was seeing a priest.

What?

- Pete?
- Yeah.

Mr. Atheist himself.

His mum went running
to an old family friend

who offered to do counselling,
three times last week.

He was your old parish priest.

- Nugent? Father Jonathan Nugent?
- Yeah, that's him.

It's good to see you again,
Matthew.

- Can I get you some tea?
- We're okay, Father. Thank you.

No-one calls me Father any more.

Haven't been a priest
for 15 years now.

So, how can I help you?

Have you seen...

Peter Garvey recently?

No, not for years.

But I ran into his mother
a-- A few months ago.

I counselled her when I was a priest.
Peter's father liked to drink.

When I bumped into her, she said
Peter was having a few problems

and that he'd like
to hear from me.

Did you get in touch with him?

I meant to.
I've got a mind like a sieve.

So, you
weren't counselling him at all?

No. Is something wrong?

Well, Peter Garvey was shot
and killed on Wednesday night,

- in Battersea Park.
- Oh, dear God. That was Peter?

John, the kids are heading for bed.

Oh, I didn't know
you had company. Sorry.

- I'll be up in a minute.
- Okay.

- We won't keep him long, Mrs. Nugent.
- Okay.

- You have kids?
- Yes.

- Where were you on Wednesday night?
- What?

Well, I-- I was here
with my family.

Am I a suspect, Matthew?

It's just a question, Father.
And nobody calls me Matthew any more.

Nobody calls me Matthew anymore?

Father Nugent
wasn't just a parish priest.

He was a local hero.

He turned the area around.
He started up a credit union.

- Set up a youth club.
- Sounds like he did a lot of good work.

Yeah. He was also a pedophile.

- Does Nugent have any previous?
- Well, he's moved about a fair bit.

Glasgow, Belfast.
Half a dozen moves in 15 years.

So, apart from itchy feet, he's clean.
- Ronnie, we're wasting our time.

Pete's death
has nothing to do with Nugent.

People do desperate things when
they've got a past

- they need to keep buried.
- If Nugent abused Pete,

I guess it's a line
we have to follow.

Someone like Nugent
could never get

- the better of Pete.
- Pete was armed.

How did Nugent
get the gun off him?

More importantly,
how did Nugent clean up

- the crime scene?
- There you go.

- Maybe he's a fan of CSI.
- Yeah.

You say Garvey
visited you on Sunday.

Is there any chance he spoke
to your other friends?

Pete said that he'd tracked
Nugent down.

He started watching him.

Then, last week he slipped up.

Nugent spotted him,
confronted him.

He tried to offer Peter
ten grand to go away.

Ten grand?
Why was Pete following Nugent?

He was building
a case against him.

- What?
- We've been through Pete's files.

There's no mention of Nugent.

He was doing
it off his own back, in his own time.

That was years ago, Harry.

Not for us, Matt.

Pete-- Pete dealt with it.
He was over it.

You think so?

Well, I guess that shows how
little you really knew him, Matt.

Um, Harry, that photograph.
Is that you guys when you were kids?

Playing football.
Where was that taken, Harry?

Yeah, that's us.

It's the only photo I kept.
I burnt the rest.

You don't get over what
Nugent did to us, Matt.

- Pete did. He learnt to live with it.
- Live with it?

Yeah.
He got married, he had kids.

- He had a job he loved.
- What cloud are you living on?

- Pete wasn't a victim any more Harry.
- Of course, he was!

He always has been.

You know, his is why
he couldn't talk to you.

He knew how you'd react.

Like it was nothing.

Everything's always so simple
to you, Matt.

I trusted Nugent.

There were sometimes
I think it was all in my head.

And then I feel sick.

I let Nugent do that to me.

Nugent lied to us, Ron.

Yeah, but if Pete
confronted Nugent with a case he was building,

one bullet would solve
all Nugent's problems.

Hold on, Victor. Thank you.

You see that means
that would get rid of Pete, and get rid of the case.

Means
he's not ten grand lighter, either.

Doesn't explain
the forensics clear-up, though.

Don't have to though sunshine, look.

Forensics have just found
the bullet.

I hate it when you call me that.

Don't worry, sweetheart.

We got the tests
back from the lab.

The bullet went straight through PS Garvey's skull.
- Mm-hmm.

Travelled a hundred feet,

got lodged in a tree. Look.
We were looking in the wrong place.

This came from the gun
Garvey took from the prop store? Yeah.

Yeah.

Look, we have the lands
and grooves on file.

Only problem is, now
that we've got the bullet.

We've got
the angle of the distance and the trajectory.

It looks like Garvey
killed himself.

What? How can it be suicide?

Look, I know. I know.
There was no gun at the scene,

- no shell casing, no GSR on Pete's hand.
- Yeah. Exactly. So, it's murder.

Look, I'm sorry, Matt,
but forensics don't lie.

Well, look,
you've checked his hands for GSR.

- What about his gloves?
- No, he wasn't wearing any.

- I think they were inside his pockets.
- So, how does he shoot himself?

OK, Matt, one sec, alright.
Well listen, do us a favour Teddy.

Get hold of his gloves
and forensicate them.

OK.

PS Garvey
wasn't wearing any gloves.

I remember
putting that in my report.

You said this was
an informal chat.

Your report says that the gloves
were found in his pockets.

Now, our forensic report says
that there was gunshot residue on them.

So, you can see why we're confused.
Can't you, Omar?

I mean, maths
has never been my strong point

but this really doesn't add up,
don't you think?

So, how did the gun residue...

get onto PS Garvey's gloves
if he wasn't wearing them?

- You are entitled to a Fed Rep, Omar.
- Yeah, yeah, you are, Omar.

But if you've got
nothing to hide, you can talk to us as well.

- Residue could have come from any time.
- Yeah, it could have.

Do you think
we've just floated up the Thames in a bubble, Omar?

Now these gloves
were taken off of PS Garvey...

after the gun was fired,
weren't they?

Don't look at her. Look at me, son.
Weren't they?

Omar!

- I think I should talk to my rep.
- Do you know what I think?

The only reason
you would destroy a crime scene,

- is because you were paid to.
- Of course, we weren't!

This is nothing to do with Omar.
It was my idea.

When we found Garvey,
there was a gun in his right hand.

- He'd killed himself.
- No.

No. Why would he commit suicide?

He's got everything to live for.
He has a wife.

- He has kids.
- Yeah, exactly.

And if he goes on the books
as a suicide,

and his pension
or insurance policy have an exclusion period.

Then-- well, then his family
end up with next to nothing.

Sergeant Morrow, you destroyed
a crime scene.

Come on, we gotta look out
for each other, don't we?

- You'd have done the same thing.
- No, I wouldn't!

Now, what did you do
with the gun?

The shell case and the gun,
I dumped the lot in the Thames after work.

We think Garvey went to the park
to confront Nugent.

Maybe even to kill him.

Couldn't do it.
Turned the gun on himself.

It sounds like his life
fell apart when he heard Nugent was back.

Well, nightmares, drinking,
if you ask me sounds like he shot the wrong person.

- So, what now?
- Nugent didn't kill Garvey.

There's no case, Ronnie.

Well hang on, James,
I mean Nugent may not have pulled the trigger.

Yeah, look I know
he's morally responsible. But,

Come on, that's not the same
as guilty in the eyes of the law.

What about Harry?

Is he prepared to give
evidence of his abuse?

Harry just wants
to forget the whole thing.

The last thing
he's gonna wanna do is stand up in the box,

- and talk about what happened.
- Have you got any other victims at all?

We've talked to the church,
social services, pedophile unit,

interviewed his wife. Nothing.

If there are no witnesses
and no victims.

- I don't have a case.
- There must be something we can do,

- surely--
- The criminal act was 25 years ago, Ronie.

So, that's it, suicide.

Well, what about Mel
and the kids?

I mean,
where does that leave them?

- They came out of this with nothing.
- I'm sorry for your loss, Matt.

I really am,
but whatever we think of Nugent.

- There's no evidence he was an abuser.
- Right.

- See you, Ron.
- Oh, Alesha...

Is that it?

Leave it with me.

- Morning.
- James.

- PTSD.
- PTSD.

Post-traumatic stress disorder.

It's not just that Garvey's life
fell apart.

It wasn't just suicide.
He was suffering from PTSD.

That's a psychiatric illness.

Damage to the nervous system
is psychiatric harm,

that's recognized
by the courts, right?

So if we prove
that Nugent's abuse caused the PTSD,

we can charge him
with manslaughter.

Good morning to you, too.

Look, George, it's very simple.

All we're doing
is bringing a case,

- against an individual.
- Look, look, no way.

You're not just saying
that Nugent is responsible

for Peter Garvey's PTSD.

You're saying, that Nugent
is responsible for his death.

Do you know
what I'm doing tomorrow, James?

I'm accounting to
the chief exec of the CPS

for every penny
spent on failed convictions.

It is Saturday tomorrow, James.
I like Saturdays.

- My wife insists on them.
- So you want us to come back

- at the start of the next financial year.
- Don't be a smart arse.

Difficult times
mean difficult choices.

We tighten our belts,
we choose our battles.

And besides, no jury
will ever buy it.

If they don't, they don't.

So be it.
The point is, we make a stand, for Garvey.

For the CPS,
for other abuse victims.

How could he do it?
How could he put a gun to his head,

think about Mel and the kids,
still pull the trigger?

He's a coward, Ron.

Looks like the verdict's in.

- Evening.
- Jonathan Nugent,

I'm arresting you on suspicion
of the manslaughter

- of Peter Garvey.
- Manslaughter?

- Jonathan?
- What are you talking about?

- You do not have to say anything...
- Kate, just stay inside.

defence.
If do not mention when questioned

- something you later rely on in court--
- Why are you doing this?

Anything you do say
may be used in evidence.

Maybe you'd like
to get a coat, sir and come with us.

Didn't know if you'd make it.

Pete was a good mate.
Can't ask for more than that.

Mel asked if we'd do a lift.

Yeah, course,
he carried me home, enough times...

and you.

I got your message.
You said you had a favour to ask.

It can wait
till after the service.

Why can't you do it?

It didn't happen to me, Harry.

You're a victim and a witness.

I wouldn't ask
if there was any other way.

I've never talked
about this before, Matt.

Not to my ex-wife, my fiancée.

My last marriage fell apart
because of...

because of what he did to me.

I'm finally getting
my life back together.

I can't go back there now.

Look, Pete has left us
to pick up the pieces,

but it's not about him anymore.

It's just getting up in court,
and saying what Nugent did to me--

Please. Mel is blaming herself.
This isn't her fault.

Now, this is our chance
to give her some peace.

- We can put Nugent away.
- You really think I can do this, Matt?

I know you can!

Yeah, I know you can.

I can't talk
about what he did to me.

But I saw Nugent with Pete once.

It was in the gym.

I can talk about that.

Jonathan Nugent, you are charged
with the manslaughter

of Peter Garvey. How do you plead?
Guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty.

Is there an application
regarding bail, Mr. Ridley?

Most definitely, My Lord.

Manslaughter?

Garvey shot himself.

Your charge is so ridiculous,
it's actually quite amusing.

Amusing?

Your client abused Peter Garvey
to such an extent,

that 25 years later,

the damage was enough
to make him take his own life.

- That's amusing?
- We'll never know why Garvey shot himself.

Unless you can communicate
with the dead.

- Well, I am a man of many talents Robert.
- You wanna change the law,

stand for parliament.

Another satisfied member
of the James Steel fan club.

What do you do that winds
these people up?

Oh, you know, breathe.

Three missed calls, George.

Eight.

Conference room.

I made a few
gentle enquiries, George.

If the Cardinal misunderstood
my tone, that's not my problem.

Gentle enquiries,
his exact words were bully-boy techniques,

veiled threats
and libellous accusations.

- That doesn't sound like me.
- Really?

It sounds like about par
for the course to me.

- Who's his emissary?
- Father Aiden Brown.

Nugent worked
for the Catholic Church, Father Brown.

We have a right to discover
his files.

You can't drag us into this case

looking for dirt on him
and not expect a reaction.

Nugent left the priesthood
years ago.

He was a priest for 20 years.

During that time,
the church moved into a dozen different parishes.

He had wanderlust.

With the greatest respect,
Father. I think his lust

was of a very different sort.

If the Cardinal's that convinced.
Why isn't he here in person?

Mr. Steel, you know
as well as I do, mud sticks,

especially where priests
and children are concerned.

We've acknowledged our mistakes.

But revisiting
the past only serves

to undermine the church
in the eyes of the faithful.

My instructions are very clear.
We can afford the best lawyers.

So, step lightly.

Well, I'm Church of Scotland. So, I'm Okay.

Right, well, let's recap
the game plan.

We put Nugent away without,
and let me just say this again, James,

without incurring the wrath
of the Catholic Church.

His eminence the Cardinal
is a sore loser.

- Golf?
- Poker, I believe.

I noticed a-- A change in Peter.

I thought it was my fault.

Well, he said it was just work,

but this was-- this was different.
He became a stranger.

Mel, tell the court
how Peter was the week after he met Mr. Nugent.

That last week he had nightmares
and he'd wake up covered in sweat.

I'd want to hold him
and comfort him and...

The person that I loved most
in the world, couldn't bear to be touched.

I thought
I'd never feel so alone as I did then.

Thank you, Mel.

How long
were you married, Mrs. Garvey?

- 13 years this year.
- 13 years.

And in all that time
your husband never once mentioned my client?

He never once alleged to you
that he'd been abused as a child?

- No.
- Is it possible he never mentioned it,

because it didn't happen?

Withdrawn.

Rebuttal, My Lord.

Mel,

why do you think that Peter
never talked to you about being abused?

I guess that we
were the only part of his life

that he had not touched
and ruined.

And Peter wanted
to keep it that way.

And I'd gone back to the gym...

'cause I'd forgotten my PE kit,

and I saw...

Pete had his hand,
down Nugent's trousers.

He was masturbating him.

Nugent knew
we couldn't speak out when we were kids.

He knew no one
would listen to us,

- but I'm not a scared kid any more.
- Thank you.

You and Peter Garvey were close.
Weren't you?

We were best friends.

Would you lie for him?

- I'm not a liar.
- Oh, really?

Didn't you once make
a false allegation

about a math teacher
at your school?

- That was a mistake.
- A mistake?

Did that teacher touch you?

No, that doesn't mean
I'm lying about what he did.

You're divorced, aren't you, Mr. Lucas?
Did you cheat on your wife?

The witness's personal life
is not relevant, My Lord.

Is this a fishing expedition,
Mr. Ridley?

Did the witness lied
to his wife, M'Lord.

Did you?

I cheated on my wife
but I know what I saw.

He abused Pete.

Did my client ever spend
time alone with you?

- Yes.
- Did he touch you?

Did he ever touch you?

- I can't.
- You can't what, Mr. Lucas?

You can't remember,
can't lie anymore?

Did my client ever touch you?

Did he ever touch you?

- No.
- No.

Of course, he never touched you.

Just as you never saw him

- touch Peter Garvey. Did you--
- Ah, my Lord,

counsel is clearly
baiting the witness--

- Mr. Ridley!
- I am merely probing the sinew, My Lord,

- of this witness's story.
- Please.

- Mr. Lucas has no reason to lie.
- Tell them.

Tell them.

Why won't you
believe me?

I'm not a child any more.
Why won't you believe me?

Sadly, we don't believe you,
Mr. Lucas,

because you're a liar.

I'm not a liar.
This is not fair.

I can't do this.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

- I can't do this.
- The witness is excused.

- He's just down there.
- Thank you.

Detective?

I'll call you back, yeah?

- I need your help.
- Why would you think I would help you?

It's your duty.
You're a policeman.

I have a confession to make.

There was a delay on the tube.

My bail conditions say
I'm supposed to report to my local police station

by seven. It's 6:45 now.
Even if I took a taxi,

- I'd be late--
- It looks like you'll be in breach

of your conditions.

Well, I was told
that if I went to another station, a detective there,

could sign the form.

You wouldn't want
an innocent man to go to prison

for something
that wasn't his fault.

- Innocent?
- Of course.

I never touched you.
Why do you believe I touched them?

There you go, Father.

Thank you.

Peter Garvey started
to exhibit symptoms

of post-traumatic stress
disorder

about a year before he died.

This is Peter Garvey's
case load

from the time he started
to develop symptoms of PTSD.

Case 445-3692.

The investigation
of a youth worker who was abusing a young boy.

Peter Garvey investigated
several abuse cases.

Why did this one affect him
more than the others?

The young boy in the case
he was dealing with developed,

selective mutism as a result
of being abused.

He wouldn't talk.

In fact, he couldn't give
evidence against his abuser.

Garvey saw himself
in this boy.

His life fell apart,
panic attacks, waking up screaming,

finding human touch unbearable.

All classic symptoms
of PTSD-generated flashbacks.

In the end, I'd imagine he felt
death was his only escape.

Thank you.

So, ''you'd imagine''
what he felt.

Is that because Peter Garvey
wasn't your patient?

- No, he wasn't but I mean--
- How can you be certain that his suicide,

stemmed from this one,
alleged event?

- Abuse is rarely one event.
- Your observations and conclusions

are based on files.
And hearsay, aren't they, doctor?

No more than your observations
of him are, Mr. Ridley.

No further questions.

Master show, James.
Scottish expert witness.

Always plays well with the jury.
How I'm gonna bounce back?

Don't sell yourself short,
Robert.

I'm sure you
or one of your flying monkeys

are already cooking up a way
for Nugent to wriggle out of this.

No, no.
You're home and dry on this one.

Unless, of course,
that's an application to dismiss all charges.

My Lord, my client
has brought some fresh evidence to my attention.

It appears
that Police Sergeant Garvey was blackmailing my client

to the tune
of ten thousand pounds.

No, your client offered
Peter Garvey

a bribe to walk away.

FIU checked
PS Garvey's accounts.

There is no record
of that transaction, My Lord.

Financial Investigation Unit
clearly didn't look hard enough.

Ten thousand pounds My Lord,
paid into the account of Daniel Garvey.

The money does indeed appear
to have been placed

to Master Garvey's account.

Mr. Nugent?

Why wait until this late hour
to bring this matter up?

I was trying to protect Peter
and his family.

I didn't want him
to be remembered for this.

I didn't know about the money.

Of course, you didn't.
I know that.

I thought I'd be more upset
when the judge dismissed the case.

Then I realized
that nothing was gonna bring him back.

Why couldn't Pete tell me, Matt?
Why couldn't he ask me for help?

I mean is that too much to ask?

He never said anything
to me, Mel.

But that was Pete.
You know, he was strong.

He was also a pain in the arse.

Idiot.

I miss him.

Yeah. Me too.

Me too.

What year did Nugent
leave the priesthood?

1994. When he was in Glasgow.

Joined an accountancy firm
the same year.

Nugent's been out of the church
for years.

There's no way he's kept
his hands to himself.

Where's he finding his victims?

Did he keep in contact
with the church after he left?

He goes to mass once a week,
but that seems to be it.

He's kept well away
from youth clubs and community and youth work as well.

How soon after he left
the priesthood did he meet his wife?

Um, married Kate Dobbin
a year later.

She was a single mother then.
Her husband died in a car crash.

She was left
to bring up the kids by herself.

She moved out of the house last month.
Took the kids with her.

You don't...

You think he's abusing
his own family?

He abused the boys
in his congregation when he was a priest.

Yeah, but his own family?

Social services spoke to them.
There's no evidence of any abuse.

His wife and kids denied it.

Abusers rely on their victims
hiding behind walls of silence and shame.

Only in this case, it wasn't
just his victims hiding.

So are the Catholic Church.

And they've got a lot to lose,
by admitting what he's done.

Seriously?

OK. Book an ambulance
now, James,

because George
is so gonna have an aneurysm.

Great! We lost a case
against Nugent,

and instead of letting go like
a normal person, what's your reaction?

Get up, dust myself off,
put Nugent back in the dock.

Put God in the dock beside him.

At worst, the church knew
he was a pedophile, George.

At best, they turned a blind eye
to his actions.

Now, I'm your friend James.
I want to help you here,

but please, explain to me
as simply as possible,

what part of ''Do not incur
the wrath of the Catholic Church''

- did you not understand?
- Father Nugent,

was responsible for these acts.

He's just a man.
He's not the entire church.

I'm sure that distinction
will be a huge relief to the Cardinal!

So the church is not charged
with the abuse of children,

- just merely that they let it happen.
- You saw how they overreacted

when we made
our preliminary inquiries against Nugent.

They're scared George.
I think they're hiding something.

Well, either way, we lost the last hand.
They now hold all the cards.

So, let's call their bluff.

We'll threaten to hit them
where it hurts.

In their pockets.

We'll say Harry Lucas
is gonna bring a civil suit against them.

Just like in Ireland.
And if that happens...

- it'll cost them millions.
- And if they don't fold?

Remind me
never to play you at poker.

You're playing high stakes,
Mr. Steel.

This shouldn't have taken
the threat of civil action

to uncover these names.

I agree.

People like Nugent
are part of our past,

which some of us
would rather not think about.

The church tried
to rehabilitate him.

Apparently, they tried everything.
Treatment, counselling.

Everything except hand him
over to the authorities.

The church and the law
have a lot in common, Mr. Steel.

But as Christians we leave
judgement and punishment to God.

Our job is to help people
and to forgive them.

I'm sure that's a great comfort
to the people in this file, Father.

I've spent the time
since our last meeting...

visiting Father Nugent's
old parishes.

Going through archives,
collecting information,

talking to his victims.

So, why did you collect this?
Nobody asked you to.

We're all going
to be accountable to God one day, Mr. Steel.

There must be nearly
50 names on this list.

The police collected
44 statements, detailing your abuse.

Where did you get these names?

You have my full disclosure.
I'll see you in court.

You can't do this. It's wrong.

Right or wrong, I don't care
and neither will the jury.

Your client faces a 44-count
indictment for serious sexual offences.

- 44! For God's sake, Mr. Steel!
- You'll be held accountable

to your victims, long before
you'll be held accountable to God.

Your victims,

- have found their voice, Mr. Nugent.
- Look, I have a family.

Why don't you tell them
to consider locking you up as a gift from me to them?

There is absolutely nothing you
could say that would make me feel sorry for you.

This place gives me a migraine.

That'll be your conscience
gnawing at you, Robert.

Oh, please.

What if we plead guilty to ten.
Including the Garvey abuse?

Not good enough.

Twenty? Thirty?
What would be good enough?

Nothing.

No deals.
No pre-trial agreements.

His victims want to face
him in court.

I'm gonna give them that chance.

- You OK?
- Yeah.

Thanks for doing
this, Matt.

Damaged goods?

Well, if I'd have known that,

I'd have told you years ago
about the day Eamonn, my goldfish died.

You'll be all right.

DS Devlin
to court number ten.

DS Devlin
to court number ten, please.

I swear by almighty God
that the evidence I shall give

shall be the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

I was nine.

I had chickenpox
for a couple of weeks

and my mum left me home alone
during the day.

Pete used to visit.

One day he said that he'd found
some porn mags.

While he was cleaning
the sacristy. Well, I laughed.

All the altar boys knew
about Father Nugent's dirty magazines.

But then, Pete said that he
gave him one to look at.

Father Nugent had a pornographic
magazine in his church?

Yes.

- Which he gave to a child?
- Yes.

Nugent had told him
how to touch himself.

To make it feel better.

I sort of found it funny at first.
But then it went further.

Pete tried to show me
what he'd done.

I remember shoving him away.
I told him...

- it was wrong.
- How did Peter respond?

He was ten.
He was confused.

I remember Pete got
very angry with me.

He said that I had reacted
like Nugent,

shouting and getting upset.

Then, he started sobbing
uncontrollably.

You see, earlier that day
Nugent had yelled at him.

He said that they had sinned,
that they'd been sinning for weeks.

He'd dragged Pete
to the chapel...

forced him to kneel
in front of the altar,

made him swear
on the blessed sacrament never to say anything about it.

He told Pete that he
would go to hell if he ever did.

Thank you.

No further questions.

Did you believe your friend?

Of course. Why wouldn't I?

Then why didn't you
tell an adult?

I promised Pete I wouldn't.

So, two young boys,
discovering sex through pornographic literature.

- It's hardly evidence of abuse.
- Well, that's not what I'm saying.

This had gone on for weeks.

Father Nugent repeatedly
molested my friend.

Hearsay.
Did my client ever touch you?

Detective Sergeant?

Did my client ever touch you?

- Not like that, no.
- Then like what?

He was always there.

He lingered.

Not with his hands, with his eyes.
He was always looking at me.

He was always there
when I was having a shower,

and when I was getting changed.

- We all knew what he was like.
- All the altar boys knew?

- You all talked about Father Nugent?
- Yes.

Made jokes,
told stories about him.

- Sometimes
- Well isn't it possible that Peter Garvey

was making up a story?
As a joke.

My friend shot himself
because of what that man did to him!

- That is not a joke!
- So you say,

but you failed to spot
that your friend was suffering from depression.

Now, it's easier for you
to blame my client than to face the truth,

which is that you
could have prevented the death of your best friend.

I'm sorry,
I missed your question.

- You need to ruin my client's reputation.
- How do you ruin the reputation

- of a pedophile?
- You need to believe this lie

so that you can live
with your failure to act, with your guilt at the suicide

- of a good friend.
- I don't need anything,

other than for that pedophile
to be locked up.

Have you reached a verdict
on all counts,

- upon which you are all agreed?
- Yes.

On count one,
sexual abuse of a minor,

do you find the defendant guilty
or not guilty?

Guilty.

On count two,
sexual abuse of a minor,

Do you find the defendant guilty
or not guilty?

Guilty.

On count three,
sexual abuse of a minor,

do you find the defendant guilty
or not guilty?

Guilty.

On count four,
sexual abuse of a minor,

do you find
the defendant guilty?

I haven't been inside
one of those in nearly 20 years.

Well, take it easy
on him them, won't ya?

Pete was my mate, Ron.

He always looked out for me.

Where was I for him, ay?

Nothing you could have done
for him, Matt.

Pete joined Vice
because he thought he could save people,

put right the past, you know?

That's the trouble with our line
of work. It's always too late.

Nugent came to see me, Ron.

He looked me in the eye
and he said he never touched me.

But I don't know.

You know there's sometimes
when I'm not sure what I remember,

and what I don't remember.

Well,

you're talking
to the wrong bloke, mate.

I lost an entire decade
to cheap whisky.

Luckily, it was the 1980s.

Don't spill
too many beans, will ya, son?

You've done nothing wrong.

I'll be outside
when you're ready.
