NISHA: 'The gunman's been named as Raoul Moat.

'Released from prison day before yesterday,

'shoots his ex, shoots her new fella in cold blood.'

LESLEY PANTS Police!

NEIL: 'Last night, Raoul Moat shot Police Constable David Rathband

'at point blank range.'

We'll get him, bloody get him. Not rest until we get him.

' "When you were coming out of jail,

' "I told you I was seeing a police officer.'

"I said this because I was frightened.

' "I have not been seeing a police officer." '

So, this is a security information report from HMP Durham.

It states "threat of violence."

Why weren't we told?

It appears the email didn't reach the Bureau until late on Friday,

after it had closed.

So I wanted you to know that I intend to refer

the entire matter to the IPCC.

RAOUL: Now, I've got two hostages with us at the minute, right?

If you come anywhere near us, I'll kill them too, and all.

There are some very worrying threats and allegations in that letter,

Chief Superintendent.

I think our readers have a right to know

whether it's safe to walk the streets of Newcastle at the moment.

I mean, at the end of the day, we're all on the same side,

aren't we?

PC DEBBIE: 'We've found the Lexus.'

Where? In Rothbury.

POLICE SHOUTING

On the ground! Don't shoot!

Do we have Raoul Moat in captivity? Negative, Sir.

"I am safer than safe, sis.

"It is my friend that is actually holding me hostage.

"Burn this letter after you've read it."

You are an accomplice to those shootings.

Where do you think he is now?

I do not know. OK?

"Raoul Moat, legend." I... I don't get it, Mum.

Why are they on his side?

RAOUL: 'And for every lie you print,

'I will kill an innocent member of the public.

'So, there you go.

'If you wanna turn the public against me,

'I'll turn the public against you.

'Every time youse print another lie...

'let's just see what happens, eh?'

DEVICE CLICKS, ANDERSON SIGHS

If we broadcast the threat, we're giving him a platform.

We have to inform the public.

We've got no choice in that.

It's the press that's angered him.

The more salacious elements of the press, at least.

Well, I'll bring the press in off the record,

and I'll tell them they've got to stop.

Listen, Neil, we have to consider the escalation in threat,

not just to the public, but to our officers...

..and to you.

You've been the public face of the investigation.

If Moat's gonna target anyone...

Do we have security in place at your home?

For your family?

No. I mean...

I haven't even thought about it.

We'll arrange it,

and you're well within your rights to step away from the investigation.

No. CLEARS HIS THROAT

No, business as usual.

I'll get the press in.

INDISTINCT CHATTING

Right. Morning. Morning.

Erm... Listen, just take a seat for us.

Before we start, what I'm about to say stays in this room.

OK?

Er... HE SIGHS

Raoul Moat has informed us that he does not like

what he is reading in certain papers.

And... MURMURING

..as a consequence,

he intends to start targeting innocent members of the public.

SIGHING, MURMURING

It's headlines about wearing his girlfriend's dress

and headlines about neighbours hearing him hit his kids

and wearing mascara.

It's that kind of thing.

We only print what his nearest and dearest tell us.

Harry, that is what is riling him up more than anything.

We can do our bit, Chief Superintendent,

but what do you intend to do about the internet?

There's massive support for Moat with none of the restraint...

Diane, look. ..you're asking us.

People are saying whatever they like.

Yes, but you're the heavyweights, though.

These forums can praise Moat all they want

to their little band of followers,

it's your headlines that he is reading.

Look, I am asking for your co-operation

to help us catch him here.

So, look...

..what I am asking for to help us achieve this...

..is a total blackout on any details...

CLAMOURING ..of Raoul Moat's personal life

just for the next 24 hours, please.

Just... Please...

Just for the next 24 hours, please. MAN, FAINTLY: 24 hours?

Just stop riling him up...

..and let us use that time to track him down and bring him in.

'Last night, it was this farmhouse, south of the town.

'Before that, Wagtail Farm, augmented now

'by 20 of these armoured 4x4s from Northern Ireland.

'Police are getting advice now from the special forces.'

'On roads in and out of Rothbury,

'random vehicle checks in the quest for Raoul Moat.

'After seven days of searching...' Hello, yes.

I've called before.

I know where Raoul Moat'll be.

Anything from Ness and Awan?

They're still saying they don't know where he is,

but an ex-girlfriend of Moat's has come in,

says she has an idea of where he might go.

Keep me informed.

DISTANT POLICE SIRENS

Marksmen from GMP, boss. Where do you want them?

Get them up to Rothbury.

Make sure that exclusion zone's fully enforced. All right?

As soon as he went on the run, I knew he'd come back to Rothbury.

I did. I phoned the police straight away.

He broke into your home?

My old place, aye. LOUISE SIGHS

He wouldn't have known I'd moved.

Do you think Moat was coming for you?

I dunno.

But you said that you know where he's hiding?

Got a good idea, like, aye.

Raoul loved outdoors, do you know?

He'd explore them woods, crags...

..everywhere, top to bottom.

He knew all the little huts and hunter's hides for miles round.

Any that spring to mind?

Anywhere he might have camped out? Anything?

SHE SIGHS

I mean, we stayed in most of them, one time or another.

He could live out there for weeks on end, Raoul,

sleeping rough, fishing, foraging.

He's like that fella off the telly.

Er, what's it? The survivalist gadgie?

Ray Mears? Aye, him. Ray Mears.

TV: 'If there was intelligence that Moat was threatening

'his ex-partner and other members of the public,

'then that matter should have been taken very seriously.

'The Independent Police Complaints Commission

'are now looking at whether Northumbria Police

'failed to act on Moat's alleged threats...'

KNOCKS '..against his ex-partner.'

Just what we need,

the IPCC looking over our shoulder...

..as well as the world's bloody news crews.

Well, Neesh and I have just interviewed

a former girlfriend of Moat's.

She lives up in Rothbury, and that forest up there

apparently is as good as a natural habitat to him.

That's where he's gonna be hiding. That's where we need to focus.

And we've come up with an idea of how to find him.

How about a special edition?

You know, who he is, where he grew up, people he knew?

The police have basically just embargoed anything like that,

haven't they?

Well, only for 24 hours.

This is more of a weekend supplement.

Well, who are you thinking of speaking to?

Well, I'm trying to track down his brother.

For a piece like this, there can't be many people who know Moat better.

REPORTER: 'Today, police have intensified their efforts

'in the search for on-the-run gunman, Raoul Moat,

'by enlisting the help of television expert Ray Mears,

'as their search now moves to the forests surrounding Rothbury.'

SHOUTING

'The hut is empty. Raoul Moat is not here.'

BARKING

It's this morning's.

HE SIGHS He was here about an hour ago.

Get the dogs on it.

Comb the area. We're close.

He'd have not gone far.

Karl Ness and Qhuram Awan have been charged with conspiracy to murder

and possession of a firearm with intent.

They will be remanded in custody until their next hearing.

Beckie? I'm just out the hearing.

It went the way we wanted.

Moat's two accomplices will have to stand up in court

and answer to what they've done.

Well, yeah. It's something, I suppose.

But you still haven't caught the man that's killed my brother, have you?

'It's all about Moat.

'It just feels like everyone wants him to get away with it.'

"Everyone hates pigs.

"Moaty's only doing what most people can only dream of."

Is that what people really think?

At least he won't be seeing it, eh?

I doubt the signal's great in that forest.

Well, it depends who's helping him. He might have a safe house up there.

Better get more boots on the ground, Neil. Sweep the area again.

Come on. What you thinking?

What's he gonna do?

That might hinge on whether he's getting any kip or not.

If he's out in the woods, hasn't slept,

isn't eating properly...

..the likelihood is that a guy like this

already displays all the hallmarks of paranoia.

Could veer towards psychosis.

Meaning what? It's our worst nightmare, isn't it?

Moat convinces himself that the world's against him,

and he uses that to justify going out all guns blazing.

RADIO: 'If there was intelligence

'suggesting that Moat was threatening his ex-partner,

'then that information should have been taken very seriously.

'An urgent meeting has been convened this evening for Rothbury residents

'to discuss extra security measures directly with Northumbria Police.

What more can we do?

Be vigilant.

draw your curtains, lock your doors and windows,

cos it's likely he's gonna be looking for some food.

So any signs of disturbance,

please call the police...

MURMURING ..all right?

Inspector, he's here.

So, he's wearing a dark hoodie, dark trousers,

baseball cap and black boots, right?

Yes. I only realised it was Moat once he'd already passed by.

Sorry. It's not much help, I know. No, no, no.

SHE INHALES, SIGHS

Go on, go on. It doesn't matter how trivial it might seem.

I don't know, he...

he seemed so calm.

You build these things up in your mind, don't you?

And maybe that's why I didn't twig it was him at first.

He just seemed normal.

TV NEWS: 'As the renewed danger sinks in for the people of Rothbury

'and the surrounding countryside, the investigation continues apace.'

It's extremely unnerving.

It is. Erm, this is a very quiet village.

'After seven days of searching,

'the pressure is increasing on Northumbria Police,

'as their wanted man continues to evade them.'

POLICE: Get back inside, please!

Well, it's alarming, in't it?

You gotta just, as they said, be vigilant

and keep everything locked up at night.

It's quite anxiety provoking,

if, erm, I was to be honest.

It's very strange. A very surreal situation.

'Officers repeatedly respond to calls from the public,

'but after warning them to be vigilant given the threat,

'it seems Moat himself may have

'strolled right through the village last night, past police officers.'

DOOR SHUTS

Thanks for agreeing to this.

As I said on the phone,

this is more of a profile piece about your brother.

Well, I hope you're more responsible

than the other red-tops have been so far.

Mm.

Well, we are only interested in the facts.

Our readers will be keen to hear your side of things.

You seem very different to him.

SCOFFS The public perception of him, maybe.

Do you dispute that perception?

My brother needs to be helped. He doesn't need to be hunted.

I'm not saying he's an angel. He isn't.

But I also know that he's not evil.

I think he's had a breakdown.

He's snapped, he needs help.

Psychiatric help?

Yes, among other things.

Yet when he was offered counselling,

he only turned up for the occasional session.

There are issues.

Our mother, for one.

She could be cruel, you know.

Malicious and vindictive.

You had the same upbringing.

You had the same mother.

You don't seem angry and vengeful.

If he was reading this interview with you...

PHONE BEEPS

Police.

This is the X12 Taser.

Clearly, its main advantage is it's effective over distance.

And its main disadvantage is that it's not had Home Office approval.

That's correct, but suppliers came to us directly.

And this is the ammo, the XREP.

The clue is in the name,

the Extended Range Electronic Projectile.

What did our lawyers have to say?

Their view is that the use of the XREP could be considered

if it protects Moat's right to life.

At the end of the day, it's our call.

Well, look.

If we shoot and kill Moat,

then they will say that that is what we wanted all along.

Or he shoots and kills himself and makes himself a martyr.

Yeah.

Using the XREP, we could bring him in alive.

Is there specialist training involved?

Any marksman could master it pretty quickly.

PHONE BUZZES

We just don't know how effective it might be.

Yep, go on.

What? Where?

Right, boss. Moat's been spotted.

In Rothbury, on the riverbank.

Still armed? Is he still armed?

Shotgun.

I'm authorising the use of the X12,

but only as a means of preserving life.

Under no circumstances can Moat be allowed to shoot anyone...

..including himself. Understood.

POLICE SIRENS BLARE

'Armed police race to the scene. The area's cordoned off.

'The stand-off begins.

'And here, we see the man hunted for seven days.

'He's in the sights of police marksmen,

'who finally have Britain's most wanted in their grasp.'

MURMURED CONVERSATIONS

We have one of the negotiators standing by.

She's been briefed. Good, thanks.

What is he doing? Not much.

Hi. Penny Andrews, I'm the negotiator.

Neil. This is Steve. Hi.

Has he eaten? Well, not since I've been here, no.

Food and drink, always useful bartering chips.

Can you get that organised?

I'm thinking we should take the emphasis away

from his predicament here.

Focus on his kids, the people who love him.

If this is gonna end well,

we've gotta present surrendering himself as the brave choice.

He may well be giving himself up, but it's his decision.

He's in charge here.

Yeah. Whatever it takes to make sure that he gets locked up.

You lead off. Just a formal request to lay down his weapon,

then I'll take it from there.

Right.

Mr Moat?

Will you please put down your weapon?

We simply wanna talk to you.

Please, for the safety of everyone,

put down your weapon on the ground in front of you.

PENNY: Raoul...

What is his range with that thing?

10, 20, 30 yards. What is it?

Lethal capacity up to 20, maybe.

But the way lead shrapnel scatters,

it could go 100 yards in any direction.

Look, I know she needs to build trust,

but we shouldn't let her get too close.

PENNY: You're the only person that matters here, OK?

RADIO: 'It is an optimum result for the police in terms of ending this,

'in that Raoul Moat is now contained.

'Contained, above all, away from the public,

'in a situation where the outcome can only be an arrest

'or the ending of his life.'

You must be hungry, Raoul.

I brought you some food and some water.

You want it left there?

I hope you like it. Move in.

Just let me know if not.

Is there anyone you'd like us to call for you?

I can arrange that for you.

I haven't got no-one.

Oh, that's not true.

Your brother cares about you very much.

Nah.

Never had nobody, me.

Nobody.

What about your children, Raoul? They love you.

How do you think they feel seeing their daddy like this?

They'll be so relieved to know that their daddy's safe and well.

Why don't we look to the future? Your new beginning.

Why don't you come here to me, Raoul?

Do it for your kids.

You know, the moment you walk towards me

is the start of your new life.

You can see your kids again.

You can speak to them, tell them you love them.

Everyone says you're a man of integrity.

They know the real you.

People respect you.

Nobody wants to see you like this.

Like what?

It's youse that have done this. I haven't done this.

'The danger of what's going on here

'is that extraordinary American phenomenon,

'which is known as "suicide by cop",

'whereby the perpetrator of an incident of this kind...'

Thank God she isn't seeing this.

'..provoke a violent reaction towards him from the police

'so that he, in some warped way, can think of himself as a victim.

'So the possibilities really

'are moving this incident towards a denouement,

'whereby the police have to avoid further damage

'being done to anybody involved in this incident.'

It works the same way as your handheld Taser does.

Raoul Moat.

'During this time, officers discharged Tasers.

'However, this did not prevent his death.'

KEYBOARD CLACKING

We're already being accused of killing Moat by using the Tasers.

They can say what they want.

Right to the end,

all we were focused on was bringing Moat in alive.

We all wanted Moat in the dock.

That's not gonna happen, but...

..we do have his accomplices.

Get everything ready for their trials.

Then let's finish the job.

Neil.

Quick word?

The decision to deploy the X12 was entirely on me.

But Moat died during a police operation,

so there's gonna be an inquest, maybe even a trial.

From what you saw...

..what happened out there last night?

Moat held the shotgun to his temple.

I heard two shots from the Tasers...

..and then I heard the shotgun.

Is there any chance that the jolts from the Tasers

caused him to pull the trigger?

Not from what I could see.

Raoul Moat said that he wanted it to end there and then.

He shot himself.

We couldn't stop him.

And if that comes up in court, that is what I will tell them.

Hiya.

We're here for Christopher Brown's inquest.

This is mother, Sally, and his sister, Beckie.

Are you the only one bothering to cover this?

Looks like.

CROWD MURMURS IN APPROVAL

Here is a case...

where three men formulated a plan to murder indiscriminately.

Whilst these offences may not have been committed without Moat,

it is difficult to see how they could have been committed

without Ness and Awan, respectively.

Each defendant willingly joined in a plan to murder,

at random, police officers, knowing precisely...

It's what Samantha said, about Chris being in the police.

Why would she say that?

Look...

It's not gonna take away your pain, Mrs Brown, but...

..Sam was terrified of Moat.

And I think she said what she said...

..out of sheer desperation.

It's him that people are gonna remember, though, innit?

Chris has been forgotten about in all this.

It's the Raoul Moat case,

but what... what about the people he shot?

You know, what about my brother? What about Christopher Brown?

DIANE: 'Can I ask where have you travelled from today?'

'From Egham in Surrey.'

And what brings you all the way to Rothbury?

Why have you come here today?

We're here for Raoul Moat. Respect, man.

Yeah, that's it really, yeah.

We're here because Raoul Moat is a hero to us.

You see Raoul Moat as a hero?

I do think he's a hero in a way.

I don't know whether you've seen any of the photographs

of what Moat did to his victims?

Well, this "hero" took a mother's son away from her.

He shot and maimed two other innocent victims,

blasted them from point blank range.

They had no chance.

I don't care what people think.

We're here to show that Raoul Moat will never be forgotten.

'And would you still think Moat's the "hero"

'if he'd shot and killed one of your boys?'

'Come on, boys.'

'We can cut.'

Thank you so much for coming.

Thank you for inviting me, Mrs Brown.
