2
00:00:03,060 --> 00:00:05,460
- The row of alleged Russian interference
3
00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:07,400
is showing no sign of abating.
4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,060

5
00:00:09,060 --> 00:00:11,970
- Russia's military forces invade Ukraine.
6
00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:14,320
- [Narrator] Rumors of dark influence.
7
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,220
- [Newscaster] One of President
Putin's critics lies dead.
8
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:20,860
- [Narrator] As the world wonders how far
9
00:00:20,860 --> 00:00:22,360
Russia will go,
10
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,320
there's a clue in a shocking
case from a decade ago,
11
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,880
its full story still untold.
12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,560
The murder of a British
citizen on British soil
13
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,513
using the deadliest poison known to man.
14
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:39,880
- A state-sponsored killing in London
15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,640
by means of radioactivity
is quite extraordinary.
16
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,920
- [Narrator] 10 years on,
Alexander Litvinenko's killers
17
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,243
are still at large,
18
00:00:49,140 --> 00:00:51,963
and for his family, no justice.
19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,040
- Did the Russian state do it?
20
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,660
I'll just let the
evidence speak for itself.
21
00:00:57,660 --> 00:01:00,220
- [Narrator] The detectives
who investigated the murder
22
00:01:00,220 --> 00:01:02,300
have never before spoken.
23
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:05,880
But now they, Litvinenko's widow,
24
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,070
and the son he left behind
25
00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:10,953
tell the inside story for the first time.
26
00:01:12,060 --> 00:01:15,610
- It's not only about the
investigation of crime,
27
00:01:15,610 --> 00:01:18,023
it's the right story
about how to be human.
28
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:20,470
- [Narrator] It's a story that reads
29
00:01:20,470 --> 00:01:22,503
like a Cold War crime thriller,
30
00:01:23,770 --> 00:01:26,033
but is darker than any fiction.
31
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,480
- [Man] This order can be given
32
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,200
by only one person,
33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,873
President of the Russian
Federation, Vladimir Putin.
34
00:01:34,930 --> 00:01:37,597
(intense music)
35
00:01:44,456 --> 00:01:47,868
(somber cold music)
36
00:01:47,868 --> 00:01:50,701
(engines blaring)
37
00:01:53,420 --> 00:01:54,690
- I remember sitting in my office
38
00:01:54,690 --> 00:01:57,430
on the 15th floor of Scotland Yard,
39
00:01:57,430 --> 00:02:00,730
when an officer came in
and the story he told
40
00:02:00,730 --> 00:02:01,930
was quite extraordinary.
41
00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:07,820
There was a man lying in a
hospital bed in North London
42
00:02:07,820 --> 00:02:12,035
who was claiming that he
was a former KGB officer,
43
00:02:12,035 --> 00:02:14,173
and that he had been poisoned.
44
00:02:16,460 --> 00:02:18,200
- [Narrator] The patient
who had given his name
45
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,720
as Edwin Carter, had been
admitted two weeks earlier.
46
00:02:23,685 --> 00:02:26,560
- It was explained to
us that Edwin Carter was
47
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,540
seriously ill.
48
00:02:28,540 --> 00:02:31,238
They didn't know what was wrong with him.
49
00:02:31,238 --> 00:02:34,655
(mysterious piano music)
50
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,930
- [Narrator] The patient
had ulcers in his throat,
51
00:02:37,930 --> 00:02:39,493
and he could not eat or drink.
52
00:02:41,820 --> 00:02:43,190
He believed he had been poisoned
53
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:44,873
with a heavy metal, thallium.
54
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:49,690
- It was consistent with some of
55
00:02:49,690 --> 00:02:50,700
his signs and symptoms,
56
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:53,350
so for example, he'd lost his hair,
57
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:54,943
his blood counts had dropped,
58
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,640
he was very anxious and seemed
59
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:01,900
very preoccupied in
trying to make the point
60
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:04,343
that something illegal had been done.
61
00:03:04,343 --> 00:03:07,260
(mysterious music)
62
00:03:09,650 --> 00:03:11,140
- I asked whether they could guarantee
63
00:03:11,140 --> 00:03:13,140
that Carter would survive
64
00:03:13,140 --> 00:03:14,830
until the following morning,
65
00:03:14,830 --> 00:03:16,910
and in the absence of them being able
66
00:03:16,910 --> 00:03:18,850
to give us that guarantee,
67
00:03:18,850 --> 00:03:22,523
I decided that we should
start getting his account.
68
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,600
- Hello, Mr. Carter.
69
00:03:27,230 --> 00:03:29,833
- [Narrator] The police started
recording his interview.
70
00:03:31,610 --> 00:03:33,873
He began with an astonishing claim.
71
00:03:57,632 --> 00:03:58,730
- Of course at that time,
72
00:03:58,730 --> 00:04:01,924
we had no way of knowing whether what
73
00:04:01,924 --> 00:04:05,180
Edwin Carter was saying was true.
74
00:04:05,180 --> 00:04:06,810
Can we ask you to tell us
75
00:04:06,810 --> 00:04:08,560
what you think has happened to you?
76
00:04:18,567 --> 00:04:21,170
- If you can imagine
someone who's quite ill,
77
00:04:21,170 --> 00:04:22,540
potentially hallucinating,
78
00:04:22,540 --> 00:04:24,920
and then starts to tell
people and unravel his story
79
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,640
that he's not really Edwin Carter,
80
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,470
he's actually a former FGB Colonel,
81
00:04:28,470 --> 00:04:32,080
and he's been poisoned by
Vladimir Putin's orders,
82
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,660
you can understand that people might've
83
00:04:34,660 --> 00:04:36,863
met that suggestion with some disbelief.
84
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,200
- [Narrator] But Carter
did offer the police
85
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,623
one concrete lead.
86
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,990
The number of a contact
he claimed to of had
87
00:04:44,990 --> 00:04:48,043
regular meetings with
at a London bookshop.
88
00:05:10,980 --> 00:05:12,960
- [Narrator] When the
police called the number,
89
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,093
a man known only as Martin
came to the hospital.
90
00:05:17,580 --> 00:05:21,630
Martin, an MI6 officer,
confirmed the patient
91
00:05:21,630 --> 00:05:25,440
was Alexander, or Sasha, Litvinenko.
92
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,120
A former KGB agent now advising MI6
93
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,933
on Russian organized crime.
94
00:05:32,470 --> 00:05:34,530
Scotland Yard realized this would be
95
00:05:34,530 --> 00:05:36,793
no ordinary investigation.
96
00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:43,690
- Let's try and understand why he's ill.
97
00:05:43,690 --> 00:05:46,480
Let's try and get a story from him,
98
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,043
he was still able to talk.
99
00:05:49,710 --> 00:05:52,060
Was it a criminal mystery
of a medical mystery?
100
00:05:53,330 --> 00:05:55,053
Find out which camp it fell into.
101
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:58,010
If it was medical mystery,
nothing to do with us,
102
00:05:58,010 --> 00:05:59,643
criminal, we were gonna be busy.
103
00:06:23,586 --> 00:06:25,419
- I met Sasha in 1993.
104
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:30,690
Very funny, very easy talking,
105
00:06:30,690 --> 00:06:33,510
very young looking, very handsome,
106
00:06:33,510 --> 00:06:35,130
and very strong.
107
00:06:35,130 --> 00:06:37,470
He worked under investigation
108
00:06:37,470 --> 00:06:41,103
of very serious crime,
but inside of Russia.
109
00:06:43,630 --> 00:06:45,230
- [Narrator] After 10 years service,
110
00:06:45,230 --> 00:06:48,653
Litvinenko was promoted to
a highly classified unit.
111
00:07:04,332 --> 00:07:07,060
- And the last thing
that he was asked to do,
112
00:07:07,060 --> 00:07:09,463
to kill Boris Berezovsky.
113
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,050
- [Narrator] An advisor to Boris Yeltsin,
114
00:07:13,050 --> 00:07:17,053
Berezovsky had masterminded
his reelection in 1996.
115
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,010
Litvinenko claimed he worked
116
00:07:20,010 --> 00:07:22,010
for a secret murder squad,
117
00:07:22,010 --> 00:07:24,673
tasked with Berezovsky's assassination.
118
00:07:35,630 --> 00:07:38,490
- I love Sasha for feeling not to stand
119
00:07:38,490 --> 00:07:40,433
if he thinks something's not right.
120
00:07:42,510 --> 00:07:45,900
- [Narrator] In 1998,
President Yeltsin appointed
121
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:49,410
Vladimir Putin as the Director of the KGB,
122
00:07:49,410 --> 00:07:52,364
now renamed the FSB.
123
00:07:52,364 --> 00:07:54,570
Litvinenko raised his concerns about
124
00:07:54,570 --> 00:07:57,293
the abusive power with his new boss.
125
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,950
- Sasha said I'm going to see
126
00:07:59,950 --> 00:08:02,040
new Director Vladimir Putin.
127
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,710
I said what are you going to say?
128
00:08:03,710 --> 00:08:07,043
I will tell him everything
what I know about corruption.
129
00:08:11,430 --> 00:08:12,900
- What Sasha mentioned immediately
130
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:14,423
was very soft handshake.
131
00:08:21,010 --> 00:08:24,543
- Putin took obviously opposite side.
132
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,250
- [Narrator] Later that year,
Litvinenko and a handful
133
00:08:29,250 --> 00:08:31,430
of colleagues took the extraordinary step
134
00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:34,130
of blowing the whistle on state corruption
135
00:08:34,130 --> 00:08:36,277
at a press conference in Moscow.
136
00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:50,810
- When I ask Sasha what
might happen with us
137
00:08:50,810 --> 00:08:52,690
after this press conference,
138
00:08:52,690 --> 00:08:54,987
he said "Marina, we have two ways,"
139
00:08:54,987 --> 00:08:57,817
"One way is they will kill me,"
140
00:08:57,817 --> 00:09:01,053
"and another way, they will arrest me."
141
00:09:01,053 --> 00:09:03,720
(intense music)
142
00:09:05,073 --> 00:09:07,310
- [Narrator] Litvinenko was arrested,
143
00:09:07,310 --> 00:09:09,213
and spent over a year in jail.
144
00:09:12,980 --> 00:09:16,173
In 2000, he was released,
and fled the country.
145
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,767
(somber violin music)
146
00:09:40,250 --> 00:09:41,890
- [Narrator] Despite being in great pain,
147
00:09:41,890 --> 00:09:44,110
he continued to answer police questions
148
00:09:44,110 --> 00:09:46,090
for more than nine hours,
149
00:09:46,090 --> 00:09:48,890
over three days and nights.
150
00:09:48,890 --> 00:09:51,490
- He'd never, ever asked for rest.
151
00:09:51,490 --> 00:09:54,773
He just said "Just
please, we need to work."
152
00:09:58,033 --> 00:09:59,840
- There was a clock ticking on poor
153
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,473
Alexander Litvinenko's life.
154
00:10:02,380 --> 00:10:05,750
The idea was for the
investigators to talk to him
155
00:10:05,750 --> 00:10:10,370
in as much detail, in the short
time he had left to elicit
156
00:10:10,370 --> 00:10:12,360
everything he knew,
157
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,340
because you weren't
gonna get a second chance
158
00:10:14,340 --> 00:10:15,993
to take a witness statement from him.
159
00:10:18,260 --> 00:10:20,880
- [Narrator] Up to now,
only a handful of people
160
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,160
had seen Alexander Litvinenko in hospital.
161
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,730
His wife Marina released a photo
162
00:10:26,730 --> 00:10:29,223
to show the world the
impact of the poisoning.
163
00:10:31,340 --> 00:10:35,060
- I remember Sasha didn't
like to look like that,
164
00:10:35,060 --> 00:10:38,640
but in this moment Sasha
said take this photo,
165
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,243
and I want people to see what
they might do against people.
166
00:10:45,090 --> 00:10:48,240
- Photographs showing his
dramatic decline in health
167
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,670
were released this evening.
168
00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:53,100
As Scotland Yard said its
counter-terrorism unit
169
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:56,033
was now leading an
intensive investigation.
170
00:10:58,310 --> 00:11:01,970
- There's an iconic picture
of Sasha as I called him.
171
00:11:01,970 --> 00:11:04,690
It carries quite a lot of emotion for me,
172
00:11:04,690 --> 00:11:06,490
and it did for the team at the time.
173
00:11:08,436 --> 00:11:09,410
What it doesn't capture,
174
00:11:09,410 --> 00:11:12,290
is it doesn't capture
the incredibly suffering
175
00:11:12,290 --> 00:11:13,560
that he was in.
176
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:15,210
It doesn't capture the
fact that his throat
177
00:11:15,210 --> 00:11:17,640
was all blistered, and you know,
178
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,650
he couldn't swallow, he could hardly talk.
179
00:11:19,650 --> 00:11:21,193
He was in diabolical pain.
180
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:25,990
Litvinenko knew that
the heavy metal thallium
181
00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:28,893
was the poison of choice for the KGB.
182
00:11:29,950 --> 00:11:32,830
- When he was diagnosed with this poison,
183
00:11:32,830 --> 00:11:34,720
now it was like a knowledge,
184
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,760
to know what happened to him.
185
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,760
Before that, he became worse,
but nobody can explain why.
186
00:11:44,770 --> 00:11:46,480
- [Narrator] The problem
was that though it appeared
187
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,100
Litvinenko had been poisoned,
188
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:52,083
no one could say exactly what with.
189
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,070
- We were pretty confident that it was
190
00:11:55,070 --> 00:11:57,290
not going to be thallium,
191
00:11:57,290 --> 00:11:59,100
that left us with nothing because
192
00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:01,660
all the heavy metals that we'd looked for
193
00:12:01,660 --> 00:12:04,510
which are commonly used as poisons,
194
00:12:04,510 --> 00:12:06,673
the screen for those were also negative.
195
00:12:08,297 --> 00:12:12,297
(mysterious instrumental music)
196
00:12:14,340 --> 00:12:16,060
- [Narrator] With no medical explanation
197
00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:18,530
for Litvinenko's decline,
198
00:12:18,530 --> 00:12:20,090
the police sought other ways
199
00:12:20,090 --> 00:12:22,193
to move the investigation forward.
200
00:12:23,290 --> 00:12:24,900
- Postmortem is one of the most
201
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:28,680
valuable tools in
informing murder inquiries,
202
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:30,530
and Sasha was obviously living.
203
00:12:30,530 --> 00:12:32,860
And so, I wanted to do the equivalent
204
00:12:32,860 --> 00:12:35,200
of a living postmortem on Sasha.
205
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,767
Do everything we can as if he'd died,
206
00:12:38,767 --> 00:12:41,300
to try and find out have
we got any puncture wounds,
207
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:43,430
look at all his samples,
look at everything,
208
00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:44,410
examine him head to toe,
209
00:12:44,410 --> 00:12:47,700
see if we can find that trigger,
210
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:49,600
that reason that's led to his illness.
211
00:12:52,700 --> 00:12:56,283
- Could a chemotherapy drug
have been given to him?
212
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:02,120
Could another heavy metal
have been a culprit?
213
00:13:02,630 --> 00:13:06,737
And then the idea of some
radioactive substance
214
00:13:06,737 --> 00:13:10,490
was discussed.
215
00:13:10,490 --> 00:13:12,520
- One of our experts said...
216
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,520
Well in Sasha's urine, we
found a tiny spike of polonium,
217
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,293
but it's probably an anomaly
in the plastic container.
218
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,200
Obviously we've all grown
up watching James Bond,
219
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,633
we all know plutonium,
we all know uranium, so,
220
00:13:33,570 --> 00:13:34,810
I say polonium?
221
00:13:34,810 --> 00:13:36,873
Don't you mean plutonium?
222
00:13:38,060 --> 00:13:39,710
And so... (chuckles)
223
00:13:39,710 --> 00:13:44,330
This fellow very
tolerantly says no, Clive,
224
00:13:44,330 --> 00:13:46,223
I mean polonium-210.
225
00:13:47,170 --> 00:13:48,543
What's polonium-210?
226
00:13:50,090 --> 00:13:53,003
Oh, it's the most toxic
substance known to man.
227
00:13:54,935 --> 00:13:56,763
Okay, how do we find out?
228
00:13:58,420 --> 00:14:00,870
- [Narrator] A liter of
Litvinenko's urine was sent
229
00:14:00,870 --> 00:14:04,240
to the high security Atomic
Weapons Establishment
230
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,403
at Aldermaston.
231
00:14:07,090 --> 00:14:10,563
But the tests would take
almost 24 hours to complete.
232
00:14:11,890 --> 00:14:15,903
Meanwhile, Litvinenko's
life was slipping away.
233
00:14:17,260 --> 00:14:18,983
- For me it was not the end, yet.
234
00:14:20,810 --> 00:14:25,303
It's still enough power
to fight for his life.
235
00:14:26,930 --> 00:14:29,517
He smiled to me and said...
236
00:14:29,517 --> 00:14:32,150
"Rina, I love you very much."
237
00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:33,400
But this time when he said it
238
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,130
it was just so painful because...
239
00:14:38,850 --> 00:14:40,483
It looks like he said goodbye.
240
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,338
(somber music)
241
00:14:49,338 --> 00:14:51,500
- - [Narrator] Litvinenko
had been fighting the poison
242
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:53,590
for over 21 days,
243
00:14:53,590 --> 00:14:57,803
and now he was sliding in
and out of consciousness.
244
00:14:59,020 --> 00:15:02,780
- The pumping function of
his heart deteriorated,
245
00:15:02,780 --> 00:15:07,780
until on the night of the
22nd he suddenly collapsed,
246
00:15:08,410 --> 00:15:11,994
and went into cardiac arrest.
247
00:15:11,994 --> 00:15:14,577
(loud beeping)
248
00:15:16,010 --> 00:15:17,110
- The crash bell went.
249
00:15:19,980 --> 00:15:21,290
When I first arrived,
250
00:15:21,290 --> 00:15:24,683
somebody already started resuscitation.
251
00:15:25,580 --> 00:15:28,173
So there's about probably
six of us in the room.
252
00:15:29,810 --> 00:15:34,020
- Time goes very slowly
during cardiac arrest.
253
00:15:34,020 --> 00:15:37,403
He had about 30 minutes of resuscitation.
254
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,300
- When we get a patient back,
255
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:47,723
it's a good moment.
256
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,930
You've done something
right for the patient.
257
00:15:54,811 --> 00:15:57,894
(somber piano music)
258
00:15:59,023 --> 00:16:00,570
- [Narrator] At three PM, experts from
259
00:16:00,570 --> 00:16:04,540
the Atomic Weapons Establishment
called Scotland Yard
260
00:16:04,540 --> 00:16:07,623
with the results of
Litvinenko's urine tests.
261
00:16:09,390 --> 00:16:11,790
- It was a phone call,
and it's 10 years ago now,
262
00:16:11,790 --> 00:16:14,223
but I could remember it like that.
263
00:16:16,187 --> 00:16:20,317
"It's polonium, it's a
million times a lethal dose,
264
00:16:20,317 --> 00:16:21,150
"he's dead."
265
00:16:22,910 --> 00:16:27,300
No, he's not dead, he's very poorly,
266
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:28,350
but he's still alive.
267
00:16:31,066 --> 00:16:32,707
"No Clive, he's dead."
268
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,613
- Nine o'clock on the evening of the 23rd,
269
00:16:45,690 --> 00:16:48,775
he suffered a further cardiac arrest.
270
00:16:48,775 --> 00:16:51,108
(loud beep)
271
00:16:58,248 --> 00:17:00,831
(somber music)
272
00:17:06,340 --> 00:17:09,270
We're sorry to announce
that Alexander Litvinenko
273
00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:11,710
died at University College Hospital
274
00:17:11,710 --> 00:17:14,903
at 9:21 on the 23rd of November, 2006.
275
00:17:19,744 --> 00:17:21,880
- I remember it was quite a young doctor
276
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,400
who came to us and said...
277
00:17:24,250 --> 00:17:26,080
Unfortunately we tried everything,
278
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,733
but your husband just passed away.
279
00:17:32,540 --> 00:17:34,471
I said, can I see him?
280
00:17:34,471 --> 00:17:37,810
He said yes of course, you can see him.
281
00:17:37,810 --> 00:17:39,310
And when we came to his room,
282
00:17:39,310 --> 00:17:43,200
Anatoly was with me.
283
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,630
- Every time I met my
father he'd get better,
284
00:17:45,630 --> 00:17:48,380
he would recover, and then quite honestly,
285
00:17:48,380 --> 00:17:52,090
to me personally, when he
actually died on the 23rd,
286
00:17:52,090 --> 00:17:53,740
it came to me as a massive shock.
287
00:17:54,702 --> 00:17:56,990
Like, until the final
few days I kept thinking
288
00:17:56,990 --> 00:17:58,440
that he was going to recover.
289
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:02,867
(somber string music)
290
00:18:06,170 --> 00:18:07,840
- I still remember him in different way,
291
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,893
as very handsome.
292
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:15,840
But more important thing I
could hug him in the last time,
293
00:18:15,870 --> 00:18:19,603
I could kiss him, and
I could feel his smile.
294
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:28,830
- We now know the former
Russian spy was poisoned
295
00:18:28,830 --> 00:18:30,677
by radioactive polonium,
296
00:18:30,677 --> 00:18:33,153
and that is a first in the United Kingdom.
297
00:18:34,570 --> 00:18:37,070
- I'd never heard of polonium-210,
298
00:18:37,070 --> 00:18:39,120
I know nothing about radioactivity
299
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:41,730
or about radioactive isotopes,
300
00:18:41,730 --> 00:18:43,590
but it was absolutely clear that this was
301
00:18:43,590 --> 00:18:45,890
something completely out of the ordinary,
302
00:18:45,890 --> 00:18:48,640
and it just changed the whole nature
303
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,090
of what we were dealing with.
304
00:18:52,150 --> 00:18:54,890
- [Narrator] Polonium is extremely rare.
305
00:18:54,890 --> 00:18:58,030
5,000 times more radioactive than radium,
306
00:18:58,030 --> 00:19:01,320
and when swallowed, just
one millionth of a gram
307
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,483
is enough to kill.
308
00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:06,270
For Scotland Yard, the intensive care unit
309
00:19:06,270 --> 00:19:07,713
was now a crime scene.
310
00:19:10,700 --> 00:19:13,510
It was sealed off with Litvinenko's body
311
00:19:13,510 --> 00:19:16,663
to protect both evidence and staff.
312
00:19:18,550 --> 00:19:21,200
- Where the murder victim and the body is,
313
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,440
there's always a crime scene.
314
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,120
However, they were
contaminated by polonium,
315
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:28,610
no one knew what to do,
316
00:19:28,610 --> 00:19:30,160
we didn't know how safe it was.
317
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,530
- What we have now is a murder inquiry,
318
00:19:34,530 --> 00:19:35,513
plain and simple.
319
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:38,160
You've got to stick to the facts.
320
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,350
Now in this case, what
that transpired as being,
321
00:19:41,350 --> 00:19:44,373
was following the polonium
trail around London.
322
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,300
- [Newscaster] The places he visited
323
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:47,377
are now being searched and--
324
00:19:47,377 --> 00:19:49,160
- [Other Newscaster] Three
people have now been referred
325
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,993
to a specialist--
326
00:19:49,993 --> 00:19:50,880
- [Female Newscaster]
Traces of the substance
327
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:51,713
that's believed to have killed--
328
00:19:51,713 --> 00:19:54,313
- [Newscaster] The risk
to the public is very low.
329
00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:58,510
- I remember coming
out of a COBRA meeting,
330
00:19:58,510 --> 00:20:00,920
and there was a whole
horde of photographers
331
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,380
and reporters outside on the pavement,
332
00:20:03,380 --> 00:20:05,397
and I remember a voice shouting at me,
333
00:20:05,397 --> 00:20:08,257
"Mr. Clarke, are the public safe?"
334
00:20:09,380 --> 00:20:10,780
I remember thinking to myself,
335
00:20:10,780 --> 00:20:12,653
I haven't got a clue, I don't know.
336
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,070
- [Narrator] The polonium
that killed Litvinenko
337
00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:20,910
is very difficult to manufacture.
338
00:20:20,910 --> 00:20:23,320
- This is something that
is made in a reactor,
339
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,190
and therefore you have to have access
340
00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:27,180
to the product of a reactor,
341
00:20:27,180 --> 00:20:30,660
and the place where
that is made in Russia,
342
00:20:30,660 --> 00:20:35,450
is a very high security operation indeed.
343
00:20:35,450 --> 00:20:37,718
So it was perfectly clear,
344
00:20:37,718 --> 00:20:42,013
that was a real marker
of who might be involved.
345
00:20:57,260 --> 00:20:59,700
- [Narrator] Scotland
Yard now had to work out
346
00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:02,750
how the polonium had
been brought into the UK,
347
00:21:02,750 --> 00:21:04,813
and identify the assassin.
348
00:21:06,220 --> 00:21:09,770
The clues were to be found in
the extraordinary interview
349
00:21:09,770 --> 00:21:13,473
Litvinenko had recorded
just before his death.
350
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,030
- The focus for me was to look to see
351
00:21:44,030 --> 00:21:46,470
who'd had the opportunity to poison him.
352
00:21:46,470 --> 00:21:49,900
I was surprised at the
presence of mind he had
353
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:51,810
as he was working
through the possibilities
354
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:54,200
of the various people that he'd met
355
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,793
on the first of November.
356
00:21:57,010 --> 00:21:59,650
He was working through it very much
357
00:21:59,650 --> 00:22:01,283
with a detective's mind.
358
00:22:04,030 --> 00:22:05,750
- [Narrator] Litvinenko told police
359
00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:07,900
that the day he fell ill,
360
00:22:07,900 --> 00:22:11,120
he met with an Italian
intelligence analyst.
361
00:22:23,260 --> 00:22:26,230
- [Narrator] Scaramella had
sought Litvinenko's advice
362
00:22:26,230 --> 00:22:28,580
for an Italian Parliamentary inquiry
363
00:22:28,580 --> 00:22:31,180
into allegations that the KGB had tried to
364
00:22:31,180 --> 00:22:33,023
influence the Italian government.
365
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,280
- I said Sasha please don't eat,
366
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,010
because we're going to
have these special dinner.
367
00:22:40,010 --> 00:22:41,520
It's the first of November,
368
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,410
it's already six years
since we came to UK,
369
00:22:45,410 --> 00:22:47,833
and it's the first time
when we're British citizens.
370
00:23:24,780 --> 00:23:26,230
- Sasha couldn't really understand
371
00:23:26,230 --> 00:23:28,320
why the meeting was really important,
372
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,970
why he'd been called there,
373
00:23:29,970 --> 00:23:33,962
and it flipped his suspicion radar.
374
00:23:33,962 --> 00:23:36,810
(suspenseful instrumental music)
375
00:23:36,810 --> 00:23:39,500
- [Narrator] Scotland Yard
sent an investigation team
376
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:40,923
to Itsu restaurant.
377
00:23:43,642 --> 00:23:46,309
(intense music)
378
00:23:47,410 --> 00:23:49,060
- How do you search for polonium?
379
00:23:50,180 --> 00:23:53,120
Well, you actually search
for it with something
380
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:54,723
a bit like a Dirt Devil Hoover.
381
00:23:55,580 --> 00:24:00,580
Because polonium is
radioactive and it's dangerous.
382
00:24:00,910 --> 00:24:02,363
It emits powerful waves.
383
00:24:03,230 --> 00:24:07,023
And they only go about that far.
384
00:24:08,530 --> 00:24:11,673
And so to detect them, you
have to be that close to them.
385
00:24:12,578 --> 00:24:15,245
(intense music)
386
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,850
Soon after they got in there,
387
00:24:23,850 --> 00:24:24,870
I remember getting a phone call,
388
00:24:24,870 --> 00:24:28,593
we got a positive indication
of alpha radiation.
389
00:24:32,230 --> 00:24:35,280
Itsu restaurant could be our murder venue,
390
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,443
we could treat as a game of Cluedo.
391
00:24:38,500 --> 00:24:40,550
And that's not belittling
the approach to it,
392
00:24:40,550 --> 00:24:44,410
but Cluedo, you have a
room, you have a killer,
393
00:24:44,410 --> 00:24:45,770
you have a weapon.
394
00:24:45,770 --> 00:24:48,060
And when you get those
things in your envelope,
395
00:24:48,060 --> 00:24:49,410
you've generally solved it.
396
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:58,173
- [Narrator] Mario Scaramella
became a person of interest.
397
00:25:01,090 --> 00:25:02,940
- If you're exposed to it,
398
00:25:02,940 --> 00:25:06,250
what happens is is that you secrete it,
399
00:25:06,250 --> 00:25:07,983
and you secrete it through sweat.
400
00:25:08,910 --> 00:25:10,480
And you can't control that secretion,
401
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,960
so when you secret it through sweat,
402
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,100
in fact, when you touch something,
403
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:17,250
you pick something up,
you touch something,
404
00:25:18,300 --> 00:25:20,200
we can actually map where you've been.
405
00:25:21,610 --> 00:25:23,400
- [Narrator] Scaramella had stayed
406
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,095
at the Thistle Hotel in Victoria.
407
00:25:26,095 --> 00:25:29,012
(mysterious music)
408
00:25:31,510 --> 00:25:32,850
- Very quickly we established
409
00:25:32,850 --> 00:25:36,850
that the hotel he stayed
in wasn't contaminated,
410
00:25:36,850 --> 00:25:40,267
and Mr. Scaramella wasn't
contaminated at all.
411
00:25:41,653 --> 00:25:45,570
And so what were the chances
of him being involved,
412
00:25:45,570 --> 00:25:47,363
they were fairly remote.
413
00:25:50,753 --> 00:25:52,897
Then why is Itsu restaurant contaminated?
414
00:25:55,020 --> 00:25:56,530
The analysis when it was done,
415
00:25:56,530 --> 00:25:58,840
goes to show that where
Scaramella had been sitting
416
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,490
with Litvinenko when they had lunch
417
00:26:01,490 --> 00:26:02,490
on November the 1st,
418
00:26:03,427 --> 00:26:05,513
that wasn't where the
contamination was found.
419
00:26:10,660 --> 00:26:12,030
- Turned out that actually
420
00:26:12,030 --> 00:26:13,900
it was at a different table
421
00:26:13,900 --> 00:26:16,030
to the one which Scaramella and Litvinenko
422
00:26:16,030 --> 00:26:18,523
had sat at on the 1st of November.
423
00:26:20,010 --> 00:26:22,410
- You could've taken a view of
that in the Cluedo envelope.
424
00:26:22,410 --> 00:26:24,150
Itsu restaurant was the venue,
425
00:26:24,150 --> 00:26:26,680
polonium was the murder weapon,
426
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,970
thank you very much, have a lovely day.
427
00:26:28,970 --> 00:26:31,590
And then suddenly the envelope
428
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:33,040
is ripped up and thrown away.
429
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:37,180
- [Narrator] Police needed to explain
430
00:26:37,180 --> 00:26:40,370
the traces of polonium on
the second table at Itsu.
431
00:26:44,390 --> 00:26:47,663
The clues again lay in
Litvinenko's police interview.
432
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,403
He had another meeting
the day he fell ill.
433
00:26:54,050 --> 00:26:56,263
- [Police] After the
restaurant, where did you go?
434
00:27:26,770 --> 00:27:28,940
- When Sasha was in hospital,
435
00:27:28,940 --> 00:27:31,250
and when we talk about he's suspicious
436
00:27:31,250 --> 00:27:35,620
he might be poisoned, and I
say but who, who could do this?
437
00:27:35,620 --> 00:27:39,613
And he mentioned this meeting with Lugovoy
438
00:27:39,613 --> 00:27:41,923
and Kovtun in Millennium Hotel.
439
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:46,017
(mysterious music)
440
00:28:23,860 --> 00:28:25,340
- [Police] And after
you drank from the pot,
441
00:28:25,340 --> 00:28:27,903
did Andrei or Kovtun drink
anything from that pot?
442
00:28:35,517 --> 00:28:38,500
- The ingestion, eating
something was important.
443
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:40,860
So, there were two screws in on this,
444
00:28:40,860 --> 00:28:43,803
and if it was polonium,
it would be definitive.
445
00:29:02,543 --> 00:29:03,930
- [Narrator] Police turned their attention
446
00:29:03,930 --> 00:29:05,330
to the hotel in Mayfair
447
00:29:05,330 --> 00:29:07,123
where the two suspects stayed.
448
00:29:08,540 --> 00:29:11,790
Lugovoy and Kovtun were captured on CCTV
449
00:29:11,790 --> 00:29:14,970
going upstairs to the gent's toilets.
450
00:29:14,970 --> 00:29:16,750
Traces of polonium were found
451
00:29:16,750 --> 00:29:18,563
that matched their movements.
452
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,400
- So, we'll go with
that the hypothesis that
453
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,003
Mr. Lugovoy and Mr. Kovtun,
454
00:29:25,582 --> 00:29:27,780
they had more than
something to do with it.
455
00:29:30,317 --> 00:29:32,680
In the 16th of October,
456
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,030
Mr. Lugovoy and Mr. Kovtun
both came into the country
457
00:29:35,030 --> 00:29:36,593
on a BA flight from Moscow.
458
00:29:38,820 --> 00:29:41,140
They went and stayed at the Best Western,
459
00:29:41,140 --> 00:29:42,090
Shaftesbury Avenue.
460
00:29:42,930 --> 00:29:46,133
Polonium was found in
that room in the bathroom.
461
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,030
- [Narrator] Then police made
their second breakthrough.
462
00:29:52,030 --> 00:29:55,170
They discovered Litvinenko
had an earlier meeting
463
00:29:55,170 --> 00:29:56,830
with Lugovoy and Kovtun
464
00:29:56,830 --> 00:29:59,903
two weeks before their
afternoon tea at the Millennium.
465
00:30:01,660 --> 00:30:02,663
The location?
466
00:30:05,333 --> 00:30:06,653
Itsu sushi bar.
467
00:30:08,830 --> 00:30:10,800
The table where they'd sat
468
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,760
was the one on which police had already
469
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,163
detected traces of polonium.
470
00:30:16,610 --> 00:30:18,250
- Got contamination.
471
00:30:18,250 --> 00:30:19,560
Cause it's not secondary contamination,
472
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,830
it was primary contamination as in
473
00:30:21,830 --> 00:30:23,603
something bad had happened there.
474
00:30:26,460 --> 00:30:29,493
You tried to whack him at
Itsu restaurant, you tried.
475
00:30:30,538 --> 00:30:33,390
(mysterious music)
476
00:30:33,390 --> 00:30:35,190
So he had been attacked on the 16th.
477
00:30:36,145 --> 00:30:37,280
In fact, he would've died as a result
478
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,700
of the attack on the 16th,
479
00:30:38,700 --> 00:30:41,230
it was that significant.
480
00:30:41,230 --> 00:30:42,400
But he was that robust that
481
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,710
it didn't work as quickly
as it should have.
482
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,320
- [Narrator] After the Itsu attack,
483
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,830
Lugovoy and Kovtun travel back to Moscow
484
00:30:50,830 --> 00:30:53,053
on a Transaero aircraft.
485
00:30:54,270 --> 00:30:56,570
- We managed to stop
them at Heathrow Airport.
486
00:30:57,610 --> 00:30:59,330
That was the most raucous.
487
00:31:00,270 --> 00:31:01,490
They didn't react all that well
488
00:31:01,490 --> 00:31:03,183
to that plane being stopped.
489
00:31:04,077 --> 00:31:06,994
(mysterious music)
490
00:31:08,222 --> 00:31:10,080
- The aircraft was checked,
491
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,247
they did find traces of polonium-210.
492
00:31:13,590 --> 00:31:15,630
In retaliation for interfering
493
00:31:15,630 --> 00:31:17,330
with the Transaero flight,
494
00:31:17,330 --> 00:31:19,020
the Russian authorities had placed
495
00:31:19,020 --> 00:31:22,740
the tugs that pushed the
aircraft back from the stands
496
00:31:22,740 --> 00:31:25,340
in front of a British Airways
jet at Moscow Airport.
497
00:31:27,260 --> 00:31:29,160
So it's just kind of tit for tat,
498
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,410
that started to underpin some of the
499
00:31:30,410 --> 00:31:34,303
political dimensions
on this investigation.
500
00:31:34,303 --> 00:31:37,233
- I think it turned out that 36,000 people
501
00:31:37,233 --> 00:31:40,163
have been on planes that
could've been contaminated.
502
00:31:41,850 --> 00:31:43,440
- Traces of radiation found at
503
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,100
12 different locations including
504
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:46,650
two British Airways planes,
505
00:31:46,650 --> 00:31:48,000
has an investigation stretching
506
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,760
right across Europe in pursuit
507
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,203
of a radioactive trail.
508
00:31:53,070 --> 00:31:55,090
- The number of scenes
that were unraveling
509
00:31:55,090 --> 00:31:56,690
on a day-by-day basis,
510
00:31:56,690 --> 00:31:59,000
went to about 40 odd scenes.
511
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,160
And this had been
everything from the hotels
512
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,330
that the two key suspects had stayed in,
513
00:32:04,330 --> 00:32:06,630
to places where they'd
have meetings together.
514
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,410
- [Narrator] Litvinenko
appeared to have survived
515
00:32:10,410 --> 00:32:12,933
the Itsu attack on the 16th of October.
516
00:32:15,290 --> 00:32:17,610
Lugovoy returned to London alone
517
00:32:17,610 --> 00:32:19,053
nine days later.
518
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,473
Detectives believe he
flew in armed to kill.
519
00:32:24,940 --> 00:32:28,563
They found evidence in the
Sheraton Park Lane Hotel.
520
00:32:30,570 --> 00:32:33,690
- We came up with this
random way of describing
521
00:32:33,690 --> 00:32:36,270
how safe or not something could be,
522
00:32:36,270 --> 00:32:38,747
and we call it the "Runaway Factor".
523
00:32:42,780 --> 00:32:47,400
- The detection devices quote
were "minging", unquote.
524
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,700
I think that meant there was a huge amount
525
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:50,000
of radiation in that room.
526
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,483
They had to withdraw from
the room fairly quickly.
527
00:32:55,610 --> 00:32:57,030
- [Narrator] Extremely high levels
528
00:32:57,030 --> 00:33:00,330
of radiation in the
bathroom sink and pipes
529
00:33:00,330 --> 00:33:02,670
led police to believe Lugovoy had poured
530
00:33:02,670 --> 00:33:05,671
the polonium down the drain.
531
00:33:05,671 --> 00:33:08,620
(loud beeping)
532
00:33:08,620 --> 00:33:11,350
- It was the most nuclear scene
533
00:33:11,350 --> 00:33:13,110
that I think has
534
00:33:14,791 --> 00:33:17,133
ever been found in civilian circumstances.
535
00:33:20,910 --> 00:33:23,593
And the runaway factor
there was Usain Bolt-esque.
536
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,160
- [Narrator] Litvinenko
had ultimately died
537
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,063
as a result of the attack
in the Millennium Hotel.
538
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,280
But this may have been the last of
539
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,633
three attempts by Lugovoy
and Kovtun to kill him.
540
00:33:47,228 --> 00:33:50,145
(mysterious music)
541
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,250
Police were desperate
to prove conclusively
542
00:33:55,250 --> 00:33:58,203
that Litvinenko had died
from polonium poisoning.
543
00:33:59,450 --> 00:34:01,560
Eight days after his death,
544
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,773
Britain's top pathologist
finally examined the body.
545
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,763
- The autopsy was a difficult,
dangerous procedure.
546
00:34:11,660 --> 00:34:13,420
Levels of polonium that were eventually
547
00:34:13,420 --> 00:34:14,540
found from the tissues,
548
00:34:14,540 --> 00:34:18,850
were 100 fold higher than would be
549
00:34:18,850 --> 00:34:20,783
compatible with life.
550
00:34:22,130 --> 00:34:24,100
When he opened up, all you could see
551
00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:26,270
is atrophy of tissue.
552
00:34:26,270 --> 00:34:27,720
It's essentially sort of just
553
00:34:27,720 --> 00:34:30,000
dissolved in a slurry, as it were.
554
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,193
And so it was clear
what had been going on.
555
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,630
- [Narrator] The autopsy confirmed
556
00:34:35,630 --> 00:34:38,380
Litvinenko's death was a direct result
557
00:34:38,380 --> 00:34:40,913
of his ingesting deadly polonium.
558
00:34:43,644 --> 00:34:46,811
(intense piano music)
559
00:34:49,330 --> 00:34:51,470
- From fairly early on in the inquiry,
560
00:34:51,470 --> 00:34:53,250
Andrei Lugovoy and Dmitry Kovtun
561
00:34:53,250 --> 00:34:56,160
became people of interest,
562
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,890
and so that is why we wanted to
563
00:34:58,890 --> 00:35:00,380
interview them as soon as possible,
564
00:35:00,380 --> 00:35:02,720
and that meant sending a team of officers
565
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:04,763
to Moscow to do just that.
566
00:35:06,762 --> 00:35:08,020
- In the conversation with Peter,
567
00:35:08,020 --> 00:35:09,993
led to the selection of Brian Tarpey.
568
00:35:11,150 --> 00:35:14,870
The formal setting for the request ops,
569
00:35:14,870 --> 00:35:16,754
do you fancy going to Russia?
570
00:35:16,754 --> 00:35:19,154
I think it was in the
toilets on the 15th floor.
571
00:35:20,340 --> 00:35:23,503
- In walked my boss, I said hello Clive,
572
00:35:25,030 --> 00:35:26,290
as you would.
573
00:35:26,290 --> 00:35:31,290
And his immediate response
was "Ah, Tarps, my best man...
574
00:35:32,037 --> 00:35:34,770
"What are you doing for
the next couple of weeks"
575
00:35:34,770 --> 00:35:36,240
- So obviously, the natural environment
576
00:35:36,240 --> 00:35:38,973
for a challenge to be set like that.
577
00:35:39,910 --> 00:35:43,170
(mysterious music)
578
00:35:43,170 --> 00:35:44,910
- [Narrator] DI Brian Tarpey's team
579
00:35:44,910 --> 00:35:46,980
had been briefed by MI6
580
00:35:46,980 --> 00:35:48,983
about what to expect in Moscow.
581
00:35:50,230 --> 00:35:54,410
- The thought of having
to lead a team in Moscow
582
00:35:54,410 --> 00:35:55,810
was at first quite daunting.
583
00:35:56,870 --> 00:35:58,460
There was the obvious warnings
584
00:35:58,460 --> 00:36:01,040
about potential honey traps.
585
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,690
Our rooms might be bugged, our searched.
586
00:36:04,690 --> 00:36:07,550
I had left, shall we say,
587
00:36:07,550 --> 00:36:11,210
certain traps which would indicate to me
588
00:36:11,210 --> 00:36:15,943
that my drawers had
been moved or searched.
589
00:36:19,290 --> 00:36:20,660
- [Narrator] The team's first meeting
590
00:36:20,660 --> 00:36:22,883
was with the Russian General Prosecutor.
591
00:36:27,150 --> 00:36:29,920
- We were welcomed by
the Deputy Ambassador
592
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,173
and the General Prosecutor.
593
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,660
I think there were eight objectives,
594
00:36:35,660 --> 00:36:37,060
eight things that we wished to achieve
595
00:36:37,060 --> 00:36:38,060
while we were there.
596
00:36:39,470 --> 00:36:42,040
The top two of those would be to interview
597
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,053
Lugovoy and Kovtun.
598
00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:47,170
It's then that the conversation
599
00:36:47,170 --> 00:36:48,720
became a little more difficult.
600
00:36:52,260 --> 00:36:55,670
We believed them to be in a place
601
00:36:55,670 --> 00:36:59,690
called Nuclear Hospital Number Six.
602
00:36:59,690 --> 00:37:02,650
He was asking what is this
Nuclear Hospital Number Six,
603
00:37:02,650 --> 00:37:03,570
I've never heard of it,
604
00:37:03,570 --> 00:37:05,000
this means nothing to me,
605
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,280
you know, we don't know where they are,
606
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,830
we have go no idea where
they are, how do you know?
607
00:37:11,510 --> 00:37:13,970
- [Narrator] Nuclear Hospital Number Six
608
00:37:13,970 --> 00:37:16,120
was a clinic built to treat the victims
609
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,713
of the Chernobyl disaster.
610
00:37:22,350 --> 00:37:25,620
- About five o'clock,
we received a phone call
611
00:37:25,620 --> 00:37:28,963
stating, surprisingly, he
was in Hospital Number Six,
612
00:37:29,970 --> 00:37:32,023
and this place did exist.
613
00:37:32,875 --> 00:37:35,940
(intense music)
614
00:37:35,940 --> 00:37:39,243
In less than 10 minutes we were in a van.
615
00:37:40,950 --> 00:37:44,120
The journey there was quite interesting.
616
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,733
They drove very quickly, to start with.
617
00:37:49,010 --> 00:37:51,720
They didn't seem to know where
they were going themselves,
618
00:37:51,720 --> 00:37:54,260
and we had to, on at least two occasions,
619
00:37:54,260 --> 00:37:56,370
do U-turns to get back out of the area
620
00:37:56,370 --> 00:37:57,203
where we were.
621
00:37:58,530 --> 00:38:01,950
Whether this was to delay us getting
622
00:38:01,950 --> 00:38:04,453
to the hospital or not, I don't know.
623
00:38:06,250 --> 00:38:07,910
- [Narrator] After two hours driving,
624
00:38:07,910 --> 00:38:09,360
they arrived at the hospital
625
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,073
just before nine PM.
626
00:38:12,180 --> 00:38:14,150
- The next point of contention,
627
00:38:14,150 --> 00:38:16,090
we were told under no circumstances
628
00:38:16,090 --> 00:38:18,120
would we be allowed to bring
629
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,800
any recording devices
with us into the hospital.
630
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,693
And the interview will
conclude by 10 o'clock.
631
00:38:27,750 --> 00:38:28,790
- [Narrator] Kovtun was said to be
632
00:38:28,790 --> 00:38:32,310
receiving treatment for
exposure to polonium.
633
00:38:32,310 --> 00:38:34,360
Only one Scotland Yard officer
634
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,083
was permitted to enter the room.
635
00:38:38,210 --> 00:38:41,140
- It turned out to be a very strange
636
00:38:41,140 --> 00:38:42,307
series of events.
637
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:46,970
There was a man in a bed,
638
00:38:46,970 --> 00:38:49,213
who he was told was Dmitry Kovtun.
639
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,180
The only thing that he
could see was the eyes.
640
00:38:54,180 --> 00:38:56,130
It could've been anyone sat in the bed.
641
00:38:57,010 --> 00:38:58,593
We'll never know who it was.
642
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,740
- [Narrator] After just 13 minutes,
643
00:39:02,740 --> 00:39:04,603
the doctor stopped the interview.
644
00:39:07,094 --> 00:39:09,500
- Of the questions that
we had wanted to be asked,
645
00:39:09,500 --> 00:39:12,370
only about half were asked
before the time ran out.
646
00:39:12,370 --> 00:39:14,420
So, it really wasn't satisfactory
647
00:39:14,420 --> 00:39:16,463
from my perspective.
648
00:39:21,660 --> 00:39:23,810
- To put it simply,
they were messed about.
649
00:39:25,210 --> 00:39:27,760
The Russians kept saying
we're cooperating,
650
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,790
but it was unlike any cooperation
651
00:39:29,790 --> 00:39:30,790
that I've ever seen.
652
00:39:34,610 --> 00:39:35,950
- [Narrator] The Scotland Yard team
653
00:39:35,950 --> 00:39:38,350
had been in Moscow for two days.
654
00:39:38,350 --> 00:39:40,220
Developments in London were about to
655
00:39:40,220 --> 00:39:42,393
have an impact on their investigation.
656
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,940
- Now it was being treated
as a suspicious death,
657
00:39:46,940 --> 00:39:49,850
but in the last hour
Scotland Yard have confirmed
658
00:39:49,850 --> 00:39:51,330
that they are now treating the poisoning
659
00:39:51,330 --> 00:39:53,403
of Alexander Litvinenko as murder.
660
00:39:54,930 --> 00:39:56,880
- The intelligence and the political
661
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,540
and the diplomatic dimensions
662
00:39:58,540 --> 00:40:01,240
were all firmly intertwined.
663
00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:03,820
And so, from a very early stage,
664
00:40:03,820 --> 00:40:05,110
there was gonna be a certain amount
665
00:40:05,110 --> 00:40:07,420
of finger pointing towards Russia.
666
00:40:07,420 --> 00:40:08,360
- Right.
667
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,260
- I was concerned about the impact
668
00:40:10,260 --> 00:40:14,310
of that change of status
to the team in Russia.
669
00:40:14,310 --> 00:40:15,520
Did it pose a challenge?
670
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:16,840
Most definitely.
671
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,050
You're interviewing their nationals,
672
00:40:20,050 --> 00:40:22,300
and you're seeing them as a witness,
673
00:40:22,300 --> 00:40:24,750
and then suddenly you've
announced it's a murder.
674
00:40:25,660 --> 00:40:27,350
- It must've been fairly clear
675
00:40:27,350 --> 00:40:31,130
that actually a picture was unfolding,
676
00:40:31,130 --> 00:40:32,860
which I fear the Russian government
677
00:40:32,860 --> 00:40:34,463
would not want us to explore.
678
00:40:54,090 --> 00:40:57,210
- [Narrator] After six
frustrating days of waiting,
679
00:40:57,210 --> 00:40:59,030
an interview with the second suspect,
680
00:40:59,030 --> 00:41:02,750
Andrei Lugovoy, was
canceled in short notice.
681
00:41:02,750 --> 00:41:04,340
The Russians also announced that
682
00:41:04,340 --> 00:41:07,463
Kovtun's health was declining rapidly.
683
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:10,540
- [News Reporter] Hours
after giving evidence
684
00:41:10,540 --> 00:41:12,500
to investigators in Moscow today,
685
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:15,210
Mr. Kovtun reportedly fell into a coma,
686
00:41:15,210 --> 00:41:18,710
and is in a critical condition
from radiation poisoning.
687
00:41:18,710 --> 00:41:21,330
- [Narrator] The
investigation had stalled,
688
00:41:21,330 --> 00:41:24,483
and the team encountered
another unexpected problem.
689
00:41:26,350 --> 00:41:28,260
- I remember one evening,
690
00:41:28,260 --> 00:41:30,960
my officer was complaining
of stomach cramps,
691
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,253
and not being very well.
692
00:41:36,940 --> 00:41:38,200
Earlier the next morning,
693
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,030
I was to accompany him back to
694
00:41:40,030 --> 00:41:42,070
the General Prosecutor's office.
695
00:41:42,070 --> 00:41:43,403
We were offered tea.
696
00:41:44,770 --> 00:41:46,530
I had no hesitation in saying yes,
697
00:41:46,530 --> 00:41:48,053
I'll have a cup of tea please.
698
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,800
So I had the cup of tea, and we left.
699
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,563
I started to feel a little uncomfortable,
700
00:41:57,820 --> 00:42:00,700
and not wanting to put
too fine a point of it,
701
00:42:00,700 --> 00:42:01,943
I had the shits.
702
00:42:03,930 --> 00:42:06,280
I have no doubt in my mind
703
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:07,943
that we were probably poisoned
704
00:42:07,943 --> 00:42:10,823
with something like gastroenteritis.
705
00:42:12,050 --> 00:42:14,260
I think there was a deliberate ploy
706
00:42:14,260 --> 00:42:16,290
to weaken us physically,
707
00:42:16,290 --> 00:42:19,473
because we were the
decision makers on the team.
708
00:42:20,752 --> 00:42:23,480
- It didn't stop them doing what they did,
709
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,171
it just meant they had
to do it in short bursts.
710
00:42:26,171 --> 00:42:28,421
(laughing)
711
00:42:31,650 --> 00:42:32,483
- [Narrator] The following day,
712
00:42:32,483 --> 00:42:34,700
Tarpey and the team were escorted back
713
00:42:34,700 --> 00:42:37,100
to Hospital Number Six,
714
00:42:37,100 --> 00:42:40,573
to interview the second
suspect, Andrei Lugovoy.
715
00:42:43,890 --> 00:42:47,180
- Again, we were told
that he was a sick patient
716
00:42:47,180 --> 00:42:48,453
in the hospital,
717
00:42:49,547 --> 00:42:51,883
and the interviews would
be conducted there.
718
00:42:55,380 --> 00:42:56,390
We were told that we could not
719
00:42:56,390 --> 00:42:59,240
bring any recording
devices into the hospital,
720
00:42:59,240 --> 00:43:01,338
so we were totally reliant
721
00:43:01,338 --> 00:43:04,390
on the Russians recording this.
722
00:43:04,390 --> 00:43:05,780
- [Narrator] The police were also told
723
00:43:05,780 --> 00:43:08,670
the interview would be
conducted in Russian,
724
00:43:08,670 --> 00:43:11,113
because Lugovoy spoke no English.
725
00:43:12,380 --> 00:43:14,380
- When Lugovoy was interviewed,
726
00:43:14,380 --> 00:43:16,400
he looked as fit as a fiddle.
727
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,523
He wasn't bandaged, and was
there in his own clothes,
728
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:23,100
and probably had only just
729
00:43:23,100 --> 00:43:24,400
turned up at the hospital.
730
00:43:25,430 --> 00:43:27,830
- I suppose I could tell
you what I'd hoped for.
731
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,210
I hoped for an account that could give us
732
00:43:32,210 --> 00:43:36,037
an opportunity to prove
or disprove what they say.
733
00:43:37,310 --> 00:43:39,540
- I thought that, well,
this has been recorded,
734
00:43:39,540 --> 00:43:41,700
so we'll get what it is that's been said,
735
00:43:41,700 --> 00:43:43,690
and we can compare that to the notes
736
00:43:43,690 --> 00:43:44,740
that have been taken.
737
00:43:46,790 --> 00:43:48,890
At the end of the interview,
738
00:43:48,890 --> 00:43:51,557
Lugovoy kind of smirked and said...
739
00:43:51,557 --> 00:43:53,430
"Good luck with your investigation."
740
00:43:53,430 --> 00:43:54,263
In English.
741
00:43:56,083 --> 00:43:59,000
(mysterious music)
742
00:44:02,100 --> 00:44:04,020
- [Narrator] After two weeks in Moscow,
743
00:44:04,020 --> 00:44:05,630
the Scotland Yard detectives
744
00:44:05,630 --> 00:44:07,890
were ready to return home.
745
00:44:07,890 --> 00:44:10,550
All that remained was to
collect copies of the evidence
746
00:44:10,550 --> 00:44:12,533
from the Russian General Prosecutor.
747
00:44:16,020 --> 00:44:19,350
- They agreed that they
would just film the evidence
748
00:44:19,350 --> 00:44:20,700
that had been handed to me.
749
00:44:21,630 --> 00:44:26,630
I was presented with a bundle
of interviews and tapes,
750
00:44:26,900 --> 00:44:29,720
we took the evidence with
us back on the flight,
751
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:30,553
back to London.
752
00:44:34,330 --> 00:44:35,810
- [Narrator] The Scotland Yard team
753
00:44:35,810 --> 00:44:38,443
arrived back in London
the following evening.
754
00:44:40,340 --> 00:44:43,770
- I was very glad to be back in the UK,
755
00:44:43,770 --> 00:44:45,360
and I was equally glad to be able
756
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:49,103
to hand over a bundle of
interviews, and tapes.
757
00:44:51,070 --> 00:44:51,903
- [Narrator] The next day,
758
00:44:51,903 --> 00:44:53,390
Tarpey received a phone call
759
00:44:53,390 --> 00:44:55,703
from Scotland Yard forensics.
760
00:44:58,250 --> 00:45:03,250
- It was one of the
forensic management team.
761
00:45:03,350 --> 00:45:06,393
He was asking was there
another Lugovoy tape,
762
00:45:07,300 --> 00:45:09,886
and at first I couldn't understand
763
00:45:09,886 --> 00:45:11,410
what he meant by that,
764
00:45:11,410 --> 00:45:14,450
and I said no, I've given you the tapes,
765
00:45:14,450 --> 00:45:15,943
and I said why?
766
00:45:17,340 --> 00:45:20,050
- I can't remember exactly where I was
767
00:45:22,060 --> 00:45:24,480
when I found out from Tarps
768
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,780
that what was probably the most important
769
00:45:29,620 --> 00:45:31,703
output from that whole deployment,
770
00:45:34,110 --> 00:45:35,723
it never made it on the plane.
771
00:45:37,850 --> 00:45:40,280
- [Narrator] The recording
of Lugovoy's vital interview
772
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,410
was missing from the evidence package
773
00:45:42,410 --> 00:45:45,113
handed over by the Russian authorities.
774
00:45:47,010 --> 00:45:50,290
- I'd been outmaneuvered
like a chess piece
775
00:45:51,180 --> 00:45:52,163
by the Russians.
776
00:45:53,090 --> 00:45:54,140
- Was it an accident?
777
00:45:55,754 --> 00:45:56,587
No.
778
00:45:58,850 --> 00:46:00,820
They didn't tell me that Tarps
779
00:46:00,820 --> 00:46:02,963
or anyone else had been unprofessional.
780
00:46:04,870 --> 00:46:06,123
It's obvi we'd been done.
781
00:46:15,030 --> 00:46:17,150
- [Narrator] One month after his death,
782
00:46:17,150 --> 00:46:21,380
Alexander Litvinenko's body
was still so radioactive
783
00:46:21,380 --> 00:46:24,653
it had to be placed in a
lead-lined coffin for burial.
784
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,840
- It was not an ordinary coffin,
785
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,483
it was some from metal,
786
00:46:32,350 --> 00:46:36,160
and they said if we decide one day
787
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,600
to take this coffin from grave,
788
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,883
it would be allowed only after 30 years.
789
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,020
- [Narrator] Alexander
Litvinenko was buried
790
00:46:46,020 --> 00:46:50,163
in Highgate Cemetery, he was 44 years old.
791
00:46:52,750 --> 00:46:54,880
Police believe that Lugovoy and Kovtun
792
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,853
had poisoned Litvinenko in
the Millennium Hotel, Mayfair.
793
00:46:59,770 --> 00:47:02,520
But after being frustrated in Moscow,
794
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,550
they still needed to
build a cast iron case
795
00:47:05,550 --> 00:47:08,453
by proving how the polonium
had been administered.
796
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,750
- This expert advice said that
797
00:47:12,750 --> 00:47:13,980
there would be no trace of polonium
798
00:47:13,980 --> 00:47:16,300
left on anything that has been washed
799
00:47:16,300 --> 00:47:17,813
42 times in the dishwasher.
800
00:47:19,620 --> 00:47:21,030
Don't bother doing the tea pots,
801
00:47:21,030 --> 00:47:24,130
tea cups, saucers, tea spoons,
802
00:47:24,130 --> 00:47:26,380
cause you'll be wasting your time.
803
00:47:26,380 --> 00:47:28,760
But all the instincts were,
804
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,412
yeah go on, let's have a go.
805
00:47:31,412 --> 00:47:33,290
(beeping)
806
00:47:33,290 --> 00:47:36,207
(mysterious music)
807
00:47:42,056 --> 00:47:44,223
(beeping)
808
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,310
It came back as a full scale deflection
809
00:47:47,310 --> 00:47:48,233
on this tea pot.
810
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,230
Full scale deflection, so...
811
00:47:52,070 --> 00:47:53,240
What does that mean?
812
00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:57,273
It meant that it was a smoking tea pot.
813
00:47:58,910 --> 00:48:00,410
That's not like a smoking gun,
814
00:48:02,034 --> 00:48:03,502
but it was significant.
815
00:48:03,502 --> 00:48:06,310
(loud beeping)
816
00:48:06,310 --> 00:48:08,910
- The contamination in the tea pot
817
00:48:08,910 --> 00:48:13,440
leads of course inexplicably
to Kovtun and Lugovoy.
818
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,420
- [Narrator] The police had
the last piece of the puzzle,
819
00:48:16,420 --> 00:48:18,050
and handed the evidence over
820
00:48:18,050 --> 00:48:20,453
to the Crown Prosecution Service.
821
00:48:23,110 --> 00:48:26,180
Five months later, the CPS formally sought
822
00:48:26,180 --> 00:48:29,653
the extradition of Lugovoy
on a charge of murder.
823
00:48:30,710 --> 00:48:34,050
- Our position was that
if Lugovoy or Kovtun
824
00:48:34,050 --> 00:48:37,340
left the country, and
went to a jurisdiction
825
00:48:37,340 --> 00:48:38,670
where they were extraditable,
826
00:48:38,670 --> 00:48:40,270
we would seek to extradite them.
827
00:48:43,380 --> 00:48:46,440
- [Narrator] Lugovoy and
Kovtun denied the allegations
828
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:47,703
in the Russian media.
829
00:49:00,589 --> 00:49:04,230
In December 2007, Lugovoy became a member
830
00:49:04,230 --> 00:49:05,500
of Russia's Parliament,
831
00:49:05,500 --> 00:49:07,943
giving him immunity from prosecution.
832
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,780
The Home Secretary, Theresa May,
833
00:49:18,780 --> 00:49:20,690
ruled out a public inquiry
834
00:49:20,690 --> 00:49:23,163
fearing it would damage
relations with Russia.
835
00:49:24,750 --> 00:49:29,360
But finally in 2014, under
pressure from the High Court,
836
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,793
she changed her mind.
837
00:49:31,927 --> 00:49:34,594
(intense music)
838
00:49:36,150 --> 00:49:39,550
More than eight years
after Litvinenko's death,
839
00:49:39,550 --> 00:49:42,913
the public inquiry opened
at the High Scout in London.
840
00:49:44,470 --> 00:49:47,810
- For me it was already
like, I've done it,
841
00:49:47,810 --> 00:49:49,433
I'm already satisfied.
842
00:49:50,510 --> 00:49:52,040
Because it was very important
843
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:53,883
to bring information to public.
844
00:49:56,210 --> 00:49:59,760
- Lugovoy and Kovtun poisoned him,
845
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,490
and you will decide on all of the evidence
846
00:50:02,490 --> 00:50:04,840
whether or not they were sponsored
847
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,170
by the Russian state.
848
00:50:07,170 --> 00:50:09,460
- Some people started to say hm,
849
00:50:09,460 --> 00:50:11,250
we're not sure they're going to do
850
00:50:11,250 --> 00:50:12,910
anything against Russia,
851
00:50:12,910 --> 00:50:16,500
and they say they probably
will just close this case,
852
00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:18,383
I'm not going to do anything.
853
00:50:19,751 --> 00:50:22,418
(intense music)
854
00:50:24,260 --> 00:50:27,430
- [Narrator] Finally Judge Sir Robert Owen
855
00:50:27,430 --> 00:50:28,713
delivered his verdict.
856
00:50:29,670 --> 00:50:34,670
- I have concluded that
there is a strong probability
857
00:50:36,370 --> 00:50:39,783
that when Mr. Lugovoy
poisoned Mr. Litvinenko,
858
00:50:41,030 --> 00:50:45,683
he did so under the direction of the FSB.
859
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:51,560
I have further concluded
that the FSB operation
860
00:50:52,930 --> 00:50:57,930
to kill Mr. Litvinenko
was probably approved
861
00:50:58,810 --> 00:51:03,643
by Mr. Patrushev, then head of the FSB,
862
00:51:04,940 --> 00:51:08,123
and also by President Putin.
863
00:51:13,639 --> 00:51:16,380
- It was a very powerful verdict,
864
00:51:16,380 --> 00:51:18,650
it was named Putin,
865
00:51:18,650 --> 00:51:20,913
and then I'm just like overwhelmed.
866
00:51:22,674 --> 00:51:23,507
- It's a huge victory,
867
00:51:23,507 --> 00:51:25,030
and it's a pretty remarkable victory
868
00:51:25,030 --> 00:51:28,590
considering the forces that were behind
869
00:51:28,590 --> 00:51:30,060
my father's murder.
870
00:51:30,060 --> 00:51:32,900
- It doesn't mean Lugovoy and Kovtun
871
00:51:32,900 --> 00:51:34,820
who we're certain committed this crime
872
00:51:34,820 --> 00:51:38,530
are going to be sent to the prison,
873
00:51:38,530 --> 00:51:41,430
but even you're not in prison,
874
00:51:41,430 --> 00:51:43,360
but you're already punished.
875
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:47,190
To wake up and go to sleep to know
876
00:51:47,190 --> 00:51:50,240
people knew you are criminal,
877
00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:51,083
you are murder.
878
00:51:53,490 --> 00:51:54,770
- [Narrator] The investigation had been
879
00:51:54,770 --> 00:51:56,940
the most complex, dangerous,
880
00:51:56,940 --> 00:51:59,550
and technically demanding ever undertaken
881
00:51:59,550 --> 00:52:01,453
by British law enforcement.
882
00:52:03,210 --> 00:52:04,885
- This was the Metropolitan Police
883
00:52:04,885 --> 00:52:06,713
and police in the UK at its best.
884
00:52:08,210 --> 00:52:09,943
They gave an incredible amount,
885
00:52:10,940 --> 00:52:13,200
which means a huge amount to me,
886
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,290
it meant a huge amount for Marina,
887
00:52:15,290 --> 00:52:18,533
and I couldn't be more proud of them.
888
00:52:20,240 --> 00:52:21,940
- He was a real man.
889
00:52:21,940 --> 00:52:26,123
He was not a double-agent,
he was just a human.
890
00:52:27,290 --> 00:52:31,143
And a real man is a father, is a husband.
891
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,670
- Good luck, take care.
892
00:52:37,020 --> 00:52:38,590
- Of course, justice hasn't been done
893
00:52:38,590 --> 00:52:40,020
to its fullest extent,
894
00:52:40,020 --> 00:52:43,450
but you consider the situation
under the circumstance
895
00:52:43,450 --> 00:52:45,380
under which my father was murdered,
896
00:52:45,380 --> 00:52:48,160
it was pretty amazing we got any semblance
897
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,317
of justice at all.
898
00:52:50,592 --> 00:52:53,770
- You have this person in your heart,
899
00:52:53,770 --> 00:52:57,743
you can live, but in your
heart has a big hole.
900
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,693
I believe he's able to see
everything what's happened,
901
00:53:05,020 --> 00:53:07,290
and I hope he's proud of this.
902
00:53:09,031 --> 00:53:11,614
(somber music)
903
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,703
- Marina now knows that her
husband's story has been told,
904
00:53:18,460 --> 00:53:19,733
and if it is disputed,
905
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,070
well then the people it applies to,
906
00:53:24,130 --> 00:53:25,220
they can happily bowl up here
907
00:53:25,220 --> 00:53:28,363
and have their day in court
to explain their story.
908
00:53:30,010 --> 00:53:30,843
And...
909
00:53:32,696 --> 00:53:34,863
That'll be a good day out.
910
00:53:39,289 --> 00:53:42,206
(mysterious music)
