[evocative music plays faintly]

[bell ringing]

[indistinct chatter]

[soldier] Identification, please.

Thank you.

[Bell] This is from the shard that
fell out the bomb luggage pallet?

Yes, we at RARDE separated it out,
and this is the largest piece.

[Bell] The damage, it looks clearer now.

[Feraday] Ultrasonic cleaning
and magnification

have made production AG-145
very revealing.

Multiple materials
have been fused together

by close proximity to the blast event.

Meaning?

Well, meaning this item wasn't just
in the suitcase with the bomb,

it was the bomb, or part of it anyhow.

This… is the reverse side.

See the tracking pattern?

- Well, it's a circuit board.
- Yeah.

Bomb makers tend to focus on two things.

Efficiency and disguise.

Find an electronic device
with the components you need and adapt it.

This SRBP-printed circuit board

is just of ordinary
commercially manufactured quality.

- From?
- An item such as a radio.

You think the bomb was a radio?

Packed with explosives and a timer
or a form of barometric switch

that will trigger the bomb
once the device reaches cruising altitude.

Have you worked out the make and model?

The exact model I don't know,
but two clues have led me to the make.

The diagnostic diamond shape here

and the legend visible in close-up, L106.

That combination,

manufacturer ID,

and diagnostic shape
points to a Toshiba radio.

[tense music playing]

Uh, okay, uh…

I can have my team search HOLMES
for any other radio-related debris.

Have you come across
any bomb makers who use Toshiba radios?

I believe there's one in Germany.

[shutter clicks]

[suspenseful music playing]

[camera shutter clicks]

[man, in German] Bomb maker on the move.

Yes. Two o'clock. Khreesat.

[suspenseful music continues]

[man] All units, stand by.
Khreesat at rendezvous.

Visual on target car.

On my command. Go!

Stop! Hands!

[continue shouting in German]

[shouting in German]

[groaning]

[handcuffs clicking]

[woman] Suspect device confirmed!

Bomb squad!

[suspenseful music continues]

[heavy breathing]

[phone ringing]

[distant siren blaring]

[phone continues ringing]

[in English] Hello?

Mr. Klink, DCS Orr here.

We need to know more
about Operation Autumn Leaves.

About the warning
that you issued to Interpol

two months before our plane went down
and the man that you arrested,

Khreesat.

[Klink] I doubt Operation Autumn Leaves
is of relevance to Pan Am 103.

It was a huge, coordinated operation

arising from unrelated
domestic-terrorism concerns.

Yeah, we arrested Khreesat and 16 others.

Mr. Klink, the cell
that Khreesat made bombs for

has been
on my analysts' radar for some time.

Popular Front for the Liberation
of Palestine General Command.

Widely thought to be funded by Iran.

They don't recognize Israel.
They hate all of its allies.

So a 747 full of Americans
could make sense as a target.

[Orr] Khreesat was making bombs
only three hours from Frankfurt.

We still believe

that the bomb was loaded in West Germany.

You found evidence
of a Khreesat radio bomb in Lockerbie?

That's the current line of inquiry.
Can I ask you,

what was the make and model
of the radio that you seized?

One moment.

[keyboard clacking]

It was a Toshiba BomBeat radio.

And, uh, did you find every bomb he made?

[Klink] We don't know that,

but the radio was set
to detonate at cruising altitude.

So, if loaded in Germany,
it would explode before reaching London.

Unless it came on board at Heathrow.

Our labs say
that he could've modified it with a timer.

[exhales]

We still have the devices we seized.
We can re-examine them.

See if they have timers.

Mr. Klink,
we really need to interview Khreesat.

Where are you holding him?

[Klink] We did our part.

But a judge decided insufficient evidence.

Are you saying you released him?

[Klink] A few weeks before Lockerbie.

We believe he went back to Jordan.

[sighs]

This could be why Klink
can't share the luggage list.

The Germans are scared
they released the Pan Am bomber.

Have the profile boys
dig deep into Khreesat.

I'll get everything I can from the FBI

and find out if the shard
came from a BomBeat radio.

- Hello?
- [dial tone]

Hello, are you still with me?

[indistinct chatter]

Are you Dick Marquise?

Yeah, have we met before?

Kathryn Turman, Senator Heinz's office.

- You've called me a couple of times.
- I have.

- I haven't called back.
- You haven't.

Look, I do wanna talk.

Then it's great we're talking.

What do you do for the senator?

A senior staffer analyzing policy
and advising on legislation.

How do you know so much about this case?

Pat Noonan.

Do you know that name?

He was informed by Pan Am

that his daughter
had checked into the flight.

And after that one phone call, silence.

From Pan Am and the State Department.

He kept calling,
but no one would give him any information.

Mr. Noonan knew Senator Heinz.

He called, I picked up.

Listen, back in Dallas, I got involved
with victims' rights issues.

Children's Medical Center too.

You see a lot.

Not much compares to hearing the voice
of someone who just lost their child,

so I thought, "Fuck this."

I told Mr. Noonan

that any of the other families
could call me, and they have.

- And how many families have you spoken to?
- Several.

I am meeting two more on Friday,
and they may be deep in grief,

but they are making change,

and they are pushing the White House
for action and for answers.

Well, that's great.
Pan Am has really let those families down.

Well, so have your FBI.

It's not the Bureau's responsibility
to communicate with the families.

Unless you mistake them for suspects,
like the Jaafars.

There is no victim-liaison person here.

Families have to travel to Scotland alone

to get any information.

This isn't just a comms mess,

it's a national disgrace.

Kathryn, we are closing in
on the bomb maker.

We are trying to prevent further attacks,

save lives.

That's what we're doing for the families.
That's our job.

Now, after the dust settles,
we can, uh, we can do an after-action.

We can try and improve the systems, but…

You know,

the thing about after-action reports
that I've always hated,

they are after the action.

They are past the point
when people actually needed us most.

So the next time that I call you,

will you pick up?

Well, I guess
I better give you my direct line, huh?

Tomorrow, I need you to focus
on gathering all evidence and radios.

Check for relevant debris.
Aerials, speakers, anything Toshiba.

Understood.

The FBI want to see everything we've got.

I'm going to open
a satellite HOLMES office

in Washington, D.C. for them.

In return for?

Fuller cooperation between us both.

How would you feel
about going over there in a few weeks?

Being our eyes in the FBI?

Show them how to
take advantage of the system?

For how long?

Could be eight weeks.

Could be more. I don't know, to be honest.

Uh-huh.

[Orr] I know you have your kids.
I appreciate that.

Talk to your wife, get back to me.

Aye.

It's exciting. You can't not go.

[Ed] But I'm leaving you with the girls.

A d you were excited about training
as a driving instructor.

Don't put that on hold.

Mm, as long as I'm qualified
in time to teach our girls.

[Ed] Anything to stop me doing it?

[chuckling]

So, how long would you go for?

Well… a few months, possibly.

- That long?
- The FBI doesn't have a similar database.

Anyway, what they need is ours.

Yeah. I can handle a few months.

- Morning, Sandy.
- You all right?

[Sandy] Eddie,
what's this I'm hearing? America?

- I mean, I'm delighted for you.
- Oh, fuck off.

Not gonna miss you either, pal.

Yeah, I can see you doing well over there.

Land of Opportunity.

[keyboard clacking]

[computer beeps]

[keyboard clacking]

[computer beeps]

[keyboard clacking]

[computer beeps]

[Ed] All right, guys, come on.

"Toshiba." "Radio."
All terms are drawing a blank.

- Is that right?
- [man 1] Nothing.

- [man 2] Aye.
- [man 1] Sorry, DS McCusker.

[exhales]

Maybe we're looking at this wrong.

Aye, if it was blown to shite,
maybe Feraday's shard is all that's left,

and there is no other radio debris.

How would you hide a radio in a suitcase?

Maybe you'd want it to seem new.

Still be in its box.

[keyboard clacking]

[Ed] 416.

[Sandy] A gift, perhaps?

[keyboard clacking]

[computer beeps]

Now I've got 219 results here.

If new, it might come with a manual.

[keyboard clacking]

[computer beeps]

[Ed] I think that's it, Sandy.

[intriguing music playing]

It's gotta be at Dexstar.

[intriguing music continues]

- [Lauren] Hello.
- [Bell] How are you?

Good, thank you.

[Lauren clears throat]

Six-eight-nine.

Like Mr. Orr said,

"If it isn't growing, pick it up."

BomBeat.

Toshiba.

Same make as the bomb found in Germany.

We need to update Orr.

[mechanism clicking]

We now have evidence

that a Toshiba two-speaker BomBeat radio
brought down the plane.

And we know a bomb maker
who uses those Toshiba radios,

and his name is

Marwan Khreesat.

Current location unknown,

but the German BKA
believe he's back in Jordan.

Swissair 330. Zürich to Tel Aviv.

1970. Bomb killed everybody on board.

More than likely
that Khreesat was the bomb maker,

as he was the bomb-maker-in-chief
for the Popular Front.

- Why has he not been in play lately?
- [Orr] Unclear.

FBI thinks he left his cell ten years ago,

was reactivated for a big job.

If he made this bomb,
then more than likely

his cell took advantage
of the weak security at Frankfurt,

and he slipped it
on to feeder flight 103A.

All this helps us pull together
another key investigative strand.

Type of suitcase the bomber used.

Twenty-seven pieces of hardshell Samsonite
have been recovered so far,

all bear cat one bomb damage,
some have bits of paper blasted into them.

We now think the paper could be
from the Toshiba BomBeat manual.

The manual and the radio bomb
were inside the Samsonite case.

We haven't been able
to match it to a passenger,

but Samsonite say the case
is from the Silhouette 4000 range.

Only 487 manufactured and sold
in the Middle East and North Africa.

They would've been available to Khreesat.

Other heavily damaged items at RARDE

include clothing I'm convinced
was also in the case with the radio bomb.

A babygrow and a pair of checked trousers.

Okay, pursue the clothing lead,

but the absolute priority
is finding Khreesat.

The CIA have good relations
with the Jordanian intelligence.

If he's there, they'll know about it.

Meanwhile, McCusker setting up
the HOLMES system with the FBI

is all part of it.

We share with the Americans,
they share with us.

Understood?

[bells tolling in distance]

[woman] You left this letter
at the Vienna embassy, Mr. Bollier?

True. Correct.

For what purpose?

Getting investigators off the wrong track,
and onto the right track.

Why not leave your name?

- Make it easier for us to contact you?
- Hmm.

Well, for reasons of my own security.

[woman] You wrote
that the CIA should contact you

via radio-traffic frequencies.

It's a clever idea, no?

You claimed to be a Libyan radio officer
with the Signal Corps.

Are you a Libyan radio officer
with the Signal Corps?

No, no.

Definitely not.

[woman] Then why claim you were?

You also wrote
that your preferred code name

for us to contact you was "Aga,"
and you'd call us "Agu."

Should we use the code in here?

We don't know who might be listening.

And what's the CIA view
on the Vienna embassy tip-off?

[Lepley] Our agent says he's full nutjob.

- And she's met some nutjobs.
- [chuckles]

[Dick] What about Khreesat?

Feels like your agency
has been stonewalling us there.

- Really? It's quite the opposite.
- Sure, okay.

Except the opposite
would be you helping us.

If you want our ten cents, look to Iran.

Revenge for the incident last year.

By "incident," you mean a US Naval vessel
shooting down Iran Air 655?

They didn't know it was a passenger jet.

Oh, so we're handing out points
for stupidity now. Okay.

The US had already lost one frigate.
They thought we were under attack.

[Dick] And now we are.

Gabe, our intelligence tells us
that Khreesat has ties to Iran.

You know he does.

I just reviewed an NSA intercept.

Iran wired ten million
to the Popular Front.

That could've funded this whole operation.

Our enemies are communicating
better than we are.

[chuckles]

You look tired, Dick.
A lot of vacation days saved up?

Yeah, I'd imagine your CIA knows that
just like everything else.

Look, Khreesat made
Toshiba radio bombs in Germany.

I need your help
getting in front of Khreesat now.

There are things we can't do, Dick.
The US-Jordan relationship is--

Sensitive, but I need to be in front
of that bomb maker for an hour.

- Could be a wasted trip.
- Better than an unexplored lead.

Unless you want
the next attack to be down at the CIA.

[inhales softly]

All right.

If you're set on going to Jordan
despite my counsel, I'll try.

[melancholy music playing]

[Ed] Oof.

[Steven] So…

America, eh?

- Been before?
- No.

No, I've not traveled much, mate.

My brother David, he's planning to travel.

You know, see the world.

- If he can.
- Ah, good.

Look, mate, I--

I got you a wee present.

Seeing as I won't be there on the day.
Open it. Go on.

Daley Thompson's Olympic Challenge.
Supposed to be a good one.

I saw the Harleys have got a ZX.

Yeah, I was never really into games.

That's more David and Joanne, but…

I'll love this, I reckon.

Happy birthday, mate.

Happy 15th.

Here's the last of her clothing.

Thank you.

- This.
- Cheers.

[Elma] I've got this wee necklace too.

Oh, and this.

It's just a ticket stub.

The show she went to see in London.

But it's hers. Should we add it?

If it means something to the family,
it goes in.

We don't decide what matters.
That's for them.

[Ella] Don't go
getting soft on us now, hen.

Are you calling me soft? [scoffs]

[Ed] Afternoon.

- [Moira] Afternoon.
- [Elma] Hello.

- Is that one for me?
- Aye. To take with you to America.

These are all the belongings
matched to her,

along with photos from the photo team.
Are they ready?

Yes, they are.

[Lauren] Did a good job, eh?
Developing all the rolls that were found?

It's been vital for the ID process, aye.

They're for the families now.

It's a lovely touch.

[Elma] Something from Lockerbie.
From the land.

[pensive music playing]

- Lose a few volunteers?
- [exhales] A few dropouts.

[Elma] It's been tough for some folk,
but we'll keep at it.

- Right.
- Good luck.

Thank you.

[seat belt unbuckles]

I'll be back before you know it.

Well… I'll just miss
your washing-up skills.

You can keep a tally for when I'm home.

Eyes open, yeah? Stay alert.

Okay, girls. [grunts]

Wish me luck in the Land of Opportunity.

Be good for your mum.

[girls giggling]

- Bye. Love you.
- Bye.

[car door closes]

[Dick] What are the next steps
for your team?

I wanna blow up a plane.

Rather you didn't.

It doesn't have to be a whole 747,
just pallets.

Identical to the ones
we know held the radio bomb.

Pan Am can provide them.

Lost luggage.

What would test explosions achieve?

Well, before, nothing.

But we know the device now.

We buy Toshiba BomBeat radios,
pack them with Semtex,

put them in parts of the pallet
that held the Frankfurt bags,

then we can confirm the bomb
was loaded at Frankfurt, not Heathrow.

Blast-pattern analysis?
I mean, the variables can be massive, no?

Well, it's a long shot, but if it works,

we'll know where in the world
this bomb came on board.

It's the next-best thing
to the luggage list

and a bridge-builder to the Scots.

That could help while we're gathering
intelligence on the bomb maker.

The CIA's still silent about Khreesat?

[exhales] Yeah, I put in
an official request for help.

- Spies always know more than they say.
- Yeah.

And the bomb tests?

Your budget, not mine.

[atmospheric music playing]

- [driver] DS McCusker?
- Yes.

- Oh.
- [driver] Right here.

Yeah.

- How you doing?
- Good.

- How was your flight?
- Good.

Just toss it in. I'll grab your bag.

- Just hop in the back there.
- Okay.

[engine starts]

[atmospheric music continues]

- Detective Sergeant McCusker.
- Yes.

Phil Reid. Special Agent here.

- [Ed] Ah.
- Flight okay? Hotel?

Eh, brilliant, yeah.
I, uh, don't wanna go back home.

Did you check behind the mirror yet?

We bugged the place. It's standard.

- Oh.
- [chuckles]

- I know you guys like a joke, right?
- [laughs]

- Yeah.
- Let's get you signed in.

- Eh, DS Ed McCusker.
- So the HOLMES room will be off my office.

You wanna give us a presentation
on how it all works, maybe tomorrow?

I'm conscious
we have the bomb tests next week.

Right, right.

It would be good
to spitball some ideas before then.

- [woman] Your pass, sir.
- Okay. Thank you.

- [woman] Thank you.
- Thanks. Let's get you comfortable.

Okay.

- [door opens]
- [assistant] She's just through here.

Kathryn Turman. Glad to meet you.

- Bob Monetti.
- Hi.

- Joe Horgan. We spoke on the phone.
- I remember.

It's great to meet you in person.
Let's sit down.

Yeah.

It's, uh, not easy
getting hold of anybody in this town.

I know.

So, you're lobbying the White House
to set up a President's Commission

to look at aviation security?

We'd love Senator Heinz's support.

And you're doing this as part of…

Victims of Pan Am Flight 103, yeah.

There's a growing number
of us families now.

Yossi Langotsky's security firm
gave Pan Am a report two years ago,

warned the airline it was vulnerable
to midair explosive charges in the cargo.

He told them the fact no disaster
had occurred yet was merely providential.

It's an industry-wide issue.

We wanna stop other families
going through what we've experienced.

Well, I've spoken to the senator.

We would happily help you all figure out

specific airline-safety asks,
areas that a commission could look at.

Item one, more rigorous x-ray screening.

Item two,
adequate airport security staff training.

And three,
a full review of FAA warning systems.

You've clearly done a lot of work already.

So what I would say is that

it's the human stories that get senators
and congressmen to cross the aisle.

So, if there is anything
that I can also share about your loss.

Would journalists be involved?

Absolutely not. No.

Uh…

a journalist tricked Syracuse University
into giving our phone number.

It's how we found out
our son had died on the plane.

Oh my God.

Yeah, but… everyone's story is different.

Yeah, I mean, uh… I traveled to Lockerbie.

Well, my brother-in-law, Mikey,
I brought him home.

I-I met a detective there, a DS McCusker.

He's a good guy.
I believe he's actually in D.C. right now.

- You should meet him if you can.
- I'll do that.

The Scottish are trying.

Coffins are sent off
with dignified bagpipe ceremonies.

Here?

Families have to collect them themselves.

Wrapped in dirty cardboard.

From airport livestock cargo areas.

Do you have kids?

Not yet. It's just me.

This is, uh, my son's journal. It was, um…

It was cleaned.
Some volunteers do that in Scotland, um…

Rick, uh…

he wrote a bit of wisdom here
from his first 20 years.

"Read the sports section first.
The news can wait."

[chuckles softly]

He was enjoying London.

He wrote here,
a few days before he died, um…

"Do all you can while you can."

"Life is a one-time deal."

"There is no reason
to hold anything back."

I'm gonna do everything
that I can to help.

Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

[clears throat]

So, eh… access
to the HOLMES evidential database

will provide a window

into the investigation.

After my secondment ends,

another HOLMES specialist
will come in to man it.

We can't man it ourself?

A Scottish detective
will always be the person

physically managing the database
to ensure total accuracy.

You don't think we can be accurate?

[murmuring]

Guys, look.

I've got no doubt
you know how to do your job.

That was never in question here.

What matters is accuracy
to the specific standards

of Scottish evidence-handling laws.

Now, I can help you sift
through every clue found in Scotland.

Every finding from the bomb test
we're about to jointly conduct,

it can all be inputed
along with interviews with our bomb maker,

when we all manage to access him.

The beauty of HOLMES is that
each part communicates with the next,

as a team system.

And the feeling that we have now,
and hopefully you share,

is that if we solve this case,

we will solve it together.

[soft murmuring]

[gentle music playing]

[elevator bell dings]

Kathryn Turman.

The detective work begins.

Thanks for responding to my message.

Sorry, I've…
I've read a lot about this building.

It's quite something.

Guess so.

I need to get out from under it.
Fresh air?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

[Kathryn] Joe Horgan spoke highly of you.

And I know the FBI visited too.

Was it Dick Marquise?

Lockerbie. Yeah, he has.

You know, my sense
is his heart's in the right place

if he can find it under his suit.

[Ed chuckles]

When we found out
it couldn't have been Jaafar,

then we were back to square one.

Taking the news back to his boss
couldn't have been easy for Dick.

No, but it's nothing compared to what
the Jaafar family have been through.

No. I'm sure.

Did you know that Nazir Jaafar is bringing
the first civil claim against Pan Am?

- No, I didn't.
- Cost-cutting, inadequate security.

If he loses, he'll be bankrupt.

And if he wins?

America's biggest airline fails.

But they already failed, didn't they?

You meeting with families regularly?

Over here, yes.

I have belongings to return
to a family in Upstate New York.

- Mm-hmm.
- This week.

There's a group back in Scotland
cleaning victims' possessions.

I heard.

And I wish the powers that be
would take that kind of care here.

Actually, in our case,

it was just a few individuals
who showed up and got on with it.

So, what's, uh… what's your background?

My background? Um…

Started as a volunteer
at Dallas Children's Medical Center.

Tough work.

Meaningful work.

First job I loved.

Taught me what matters.

- [man] Morning.
- [Sandy] Morning.

[birds chirping]

[knocking]

[dog barking]

[chuckles]

Hello, hello, hello!

All right, you've said hello. Come on. In.

[sighs]

This is DS Gay. Sandy.

And this is Mia.

Hi. Hello.

Over from America, yeah?

Yes. Mrs. Shearer has been so welcoming.

I'm here with my mother.

She's still in shock,
but wants to see where her daughter fell.

Anything you need, I'm here.

We should get your mum.

Yes.

I'll wait here.

[pensive music playing]

This is it?

Where she fell?

Aye.

[Mia] Mom?

[in Spanish] This is where she fell.

There now. It's okay. It's okay.

[in English] You were on duty?

That first night?

Do you remember much?

I remember everything.

Yeah, a colleague of mine…

Friend says that my memory's an asset.

Even if it doesn't always feel that way.

[Rosa, in Spanish] It's so beautiful.
I'm glad she fell here.

[in English] She said she's glad
her youngest daughter fell here.

That it's beautiful.

[voice breaks] This part of the world.

Yeah, it really is.

I forget that sometimes.

[Mia and Rosa cry softly]

Boss, look at this clothing label.

It was separated
from the checked trousers,

but there's a wee bit of fabric attached.

[Bell] Yorkie trousers?

That's a brand.

UK companies I've found, called Yorkie.

- [Bell] Not any clothing manufacturers?
- No, but there's a chocolate bar, Yorkie.

I know, but maybe they make clothes.

- For promotions or whatever.
- If it's a lead, we follow it. Yeah?

[pensive music playing]

[engine starts]

[pensive music continues]

Hi. It's Ed McCusker from Scotland.

Oh, well,
we appreciate you making the trip.

McCusker.

Brief us.

Hotel sorted? Luggage pallets?

Yeah. Everything's in hand
ready for the bomb tests.

FBI have been okay.
Communicative, actually.

Oh, well, that makes a change.

- That was my experience with Tom.
- Yep.

Don't get sucked in by the power.

The FBI still hasn't got us access
to Khreesat.

Dick Marquise is telling Orr
the CIA needs more time.

This is us against everybody.

DCI Bell can't solve
the Yorkie trouser mystery,

and is unamused.

Even sent some of the boys
to go and inspect Yorkie chocolate bars.

I have a team looking
into international manufacturers now.

Those trousers
bear serious fucking bomb damage.

[loud explosion]

This is where I learned
the art of bomb-scene investigation.

We all got a lot riding on this.
Are we on the same page, in terms of plan?

Yep, radio bombs are made,
and that little bunker will keep us safe.

They're putting us in there?

Our objective is to recreate
the blast hole and skid-rail damage.

And establish if the Toshiba
BomBeat radio bomb in a bag

loaded at Frankfurt could've caused it.

And if Khreesat was the bomber.

Science has no interest
in who your latest suspect is or isn't.

Uh, these radios, are they already loaded?

Yep. Semtex.

Try them in different positions consistent

to where the Heathrow handlers
say the Frankfurt bags were?

The areas at the front
and top of the pallet.

And if we can only recreate
the real damage elsewhere?

Well, then the bomb
didn't come from Khreesat.

It was checked in at Heathrow,
and we're back to square one,

but at least we'll know.

[suspenseful music playing]

Scenario one, Frankfurt bags
upper-middle-right position.

Three, two, one.

[loud explosion]

[Tom] Roof exploded, but skid rail intact.

And the blast hole isn't a match at all.

Let's move bags and try again.

Scenario two, also Frankfurt.

This one,
right in the middle of the pallet.

[explodes]

[Tom] No blast penetration
through the pallet wall,

and skid rail still intact.

I don't get it. How's that possible?

[exhales] The blast must've been cushioned
by the bags in that spot.

Okay, so if the suitcase with the bomb
just happened to be placed there…

The passengers might've survived.

The bomb plot had to be complex,
but it also relied on blind luck.

[Feraday] Let's try a case
at the bottom of the pallet

where the London cases were loaded.

[loud explosion]

Scenario number three
was even further off.

This is a Frankfurt bag, I know it.

Let's position the next one front-left,
near the overhang,

near the skin of the pallet.

[intriguing music playing]

[explosion]

[intriguing music continues]

Well, that's it. That's the shot.

The blast hole is almost identical.
The skid rail too.

This proves the bomb came on in Frankfurt.

Looks like science
likes our working theory after all, huh?

Need some help there, Allen?

- Right, that's-- Made a right mess.
- [Tom] Oh!

- [laughing]
- Oh my God!

Oh, look.

- Excuse me.
- I warned you.

It's all about technique.

Always follow the advice
of local law enforcement.

[laughing]

Here. Shall I get us another round, then?

Yeah.

- [Tom] I'll give you a hand.
- [Bell] Cool.

[clears throat]

My father loved this place.

Oh, yeah?

Also an FBI agent.

Also named Dick.

Well, that's easy to remember.

[chuckling]

Did he pass along any wisdom?

Yeah. Yeah, he did.

He used to say, uh…

He used to say victims
don't need sympathy.

They need justice.

You don't agree.

Yeah, I’m… I'm not sure.

Is there not room for both?

Did you always want to be an agent?

No, not until I was… 19?

There was a bombing in Wisconsin.

Sterling Hall case.

The fact that terrorists had killed
an innocent civilian on US soil

just got under my skin.

I thought if I could be some small part,

catching people like that,

stopping them
from ever doing it again, then…

Be a pretty good use of a life.

That, and the gun and the badge
are pretty cool.

- What about you?
- Eh…

When I joined the force,

I imagined I'd be
on the world's biggest cases every day.

Here you are.

What was the Bureau like when you started?

Different.

There was a lot of noise
about international terrorism, but now…

Now it's actually here.

We're reliant on the CIA
to help us fight it.

Has there been any progress
accessing Khreesat?

No.

No, not yet.

[reporter] America's President George Bush

vowed today to act
against the Pan Am bombers.

Seek hard and punish

firmly, decisively,

those who did this,
if we can ever find them.

- Marquise.
- Gabe.

Congratulations on your bomb tests.

Got you access
to the Jordanian bomb maker.

- You can fly to Amman immediately.
- Thank you.

- Thank you, Gabe. This…
- Share nothing with the Scots.

US security clearance only.

Is that a problem?

No.

Jordanian Secret Service
are an important ally in the region,

and whatever intel they choose
to share with you on Khreesat

may be very sensitive,
so bear that in mind.

All right. Good night.

'Night.

[phone ringing]

Orr.

[Klink] Mr. Orr, do you have a minute?

Mr…

Mr. Klink?

Everything okay?

One of our agents
from the Khreesat operation.

Hans Jürgen Sonntag.
You met him at the international meeting.

Yes, yes. I remember him. Mm-hmm.

He was one of the agents
re-examining the Khreesat devices and, uh…

one exploded and killed him.

How could that happen?

We think a screw at the side
of the radio device was loose,

and his screwdriver must have touched it,
and that was enough to detonate.

Another agent was with him.

Seriously injured.

But alive, thank God.

Khreesat has killed another person,
one of my own men,

and your bomb tests appear to show
the case with the bomb was loaded here,

in Germany.

There were pressures here, you know?

To be ahead of the story.

But I've now ordered
another search for the luggage list.

A complete account of every bag
that went on that plane in Frankfurt.

I'm really sorry for your loss,
Mr. Klink, I really am.

And I appreciate the effort
you're making to find the luggage list.

- Thanks for the call.
- Thank you.

[call disconnects]

[traffic noise]

[man] Good afternoon.

Hi. Dick Marquise, FBI.

- This is Ed Marshman.
- Hi.

All of us in Jordanian intelligence

want to make sure
you have everything you need.

Presumably, the CIA has fully briefed you?

You feel happy
to go directly into the interview?

Absolutely.

[Dick] Marwan Khreesat.

Let me tell you
some of the things we know.

We know that you built a radio bomb
that was seized by the BKA

on October 26th.

We know that a very similar bomb

was responsible
for bringing down Pan Am 103.

And we just replicated
blast damage from an area in the hold

that we know held luggage
that you and your associates

could've placed on the plane in Germany.

So now,
why don't you tell us what you know?

I made Toshiba BomBeat bombs
for organization.

That much is true.

Tell us about the radios.

I bought five Toshiba BomBeat radios.

And these radios ended up in Germany?

Yes. BomBeat 453, one-speaker models.

- What about other models in the same line?
- You mean the two-speaker models? No.

Who authorized the devices?

Ahmed Jibril.

I think he had a plan
for an Israeli airliner.

One of the devices was found in the car
when the BKA arrested us.

- But this device was harmless.
- Harmless?

- Yes.
- No.

No, the devices aren't harmless.
One of them just killed a BKA agent.

Oh, I'm sorry, bombs kill people.
Is that news to you?

I never armed the bombs I made.

Well, not recently.

Jibril's other men could have.

Speak freely, Marwan.
They may not have been told everything.

Wait a minute.
How well do you two know each other?

I left the group in 1973.

I came back to Amman,
and I open electronic store for customers.

And then?

And then a few years ago,

agents from the police in Jordan
visited me, and I was asked

to re-enter the Popular Front in Germany
and become a mole, informant.

[Dick] Wait, wait.

Are you telling me that
for the last several years,

this man has worked undercover for you?

That he's not actually a member
of the Popular Front?

- He's just posing as a terrorist?
- He was a real bomber, but we turned him.

You put this known murderer to work?
You authorized him?

Do you understand that one of his devices
just killed 270 people?

271!

No, please hear what he has to say.

I had the choice to become a mole
or see my family suffering.

And so?

So I went back to Germany,
and I fed information back here.

Perhaps to your CIA.

None of my radios did this.

I only made barometric detonators.

- A radio device just like yours.
- "Just like"?

- Yeah.
- Define "just like."

Perhaps all radios,
like us, look the same to you.

No, no, no, no!
You put a detonator in a box, okay?

- You don't get to tell us--
- I need the space.

And this is why I used
the one-speaker model.

BomBeat.

It's taller.

I'm not your man.

But those copycat bomb makers?

Those that prefer two-speaker models?

Or timers?

When a product succeeds, it is copied
by all freedom fighters around the world.

New talent, you Americans say, right?

But it's always coming through cracks.

Cracks which American policy makes
in other people's lands.

You think you're ahead of them.

Trust me. They're ahead of you.

[uneasy music playing]

Dick.

Dick, listen. There's a chance that--

He's a murderer,
but he's not our murderer.

And the CIA knew!

That's why Lepley advised us
not to come down here.

He didn't wanna be
the one to blow his cover.

We're trying to crack this case

with one hand tied
behind our fucking backs!

Meanwhile, the guys who actually did it
are out there planning the next attack.

So, you're telling me
Khreesat was a false lead all along.

But you can't tell me how you know.

Well, look,
we're still further along than we were.

We now know the device,
the suitcase, thanks to your work.

Okay, we'll talk about this later.

It's coming through.

[exhales]

[uneasy music continues]

[printer whirring]

It's the Frankfurt list.

- [phone ringing]
- [June] Fiona, it's almost bedtime.

Lynne, please,
can you just help her with her toys?

- Hello?
- June. June, is that you?

Uh… Oh, it's gotta be bath time.

- I'm sorry.
- No, no.

- How's it going?
- Good.

Yeah, good.

I'm, uh…

I miss you a lot, but keeping busy.

Spent a good bit of time
with Dick Marquise

and the rest of the Lockerbie team.
It's all happening here.

So, I was-- I was wondering today,
just-- just spitballing.

Sorry, spitballing?

How about getting you all
out here for a bit?

I could speak to Orr.

Someone's got to be here
to man HOLMES long-term.

They might…
They might sort a flat for a bit.

We'd be together.

Big… team McCusker.

Eddie, you've been there two minutes.
[chuckles]

It's not reality.

So… we live in Scotland,
and I happen to love it.

So, I'm sorry.

Forgive me if I don't pack
all my bags, along with my plans.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Of course.

Double-check this one, this one, this one.
Don't worry about this.

- These three.
- How's it going? What's this?

- "KM 180."
- Germans sent the luggage list.

Pan Am flight 103A was carrying
seven pieces of interlined luggage.

- Luggage transferred between airlines.
- I've got that, son. Aye. So?

One of the cases,
unaccompanied by a passenger,

started its journey on flight KM 180.

Malta to Frankfurt.

The bomb came from Malta?

And there's more. We discovered
a Yorkie Trading Company in Malta,

making clothes.

Sorry, Harry. You're back on a plane.
