JANE: I think we should move.

I'm not leaving this house!

I want to be around life,
not death.

Not death,
every single minute of the day.

- Guilty.
- JIM: He can't be...

The case against you
is a travesty of justice.

The entire prosecution case
rested on this.

The tracks on the fragment
are of copper,

covered by a layer
of pure tin.

What is this? No,
this is not the same fragment.

JIM: And I will do everything
in my power to help you.

I've just heard Megrahi is being
granted a second appeal.

But there's nothing in here
that helps us discover
what did happen.

CRAWFORD: Was Megrahi framed?

Whatever it is,
they want to keep it buried.

I'm so sorry,
but it's prostate cancer.

MEGRAHI: I don't want
to die here, Jim.

JIM: I don't want that either.

RODERICK: There's a
good possibility that
you're released

on compassionate grounds
and you can keep your appeal.

MEGRAHI: I will never
give up my appeal.

My name will be cleared,

and you will go on and find out
who really did this.

LIBYAN OFFICIAL:
(SPEAKING ARABIC) It's been
made very clear to us

you won't leave this prison
unless you drop your appeal.

Your appeal,

or your freedom.

(SCREAMING)

(GATE CREAKS OPEN)

Oh.

NEWSCASTER: Britain's biggest
mass murderer is now
a free man,

shown mercy by
Scotland's Justice Secretary.

Mister al-Megrahi
now faces a sentence
imposed by a higher power.

REPORTER 1: Justice Secretary
knew his decision would be
welcomed and reviled.

REPORTER 2: The FBI director
sent a letter to Scotland's
justice officials

blasting their decision
to release Abdelbaset...

REPORTER 3: The decision gives
comfort to terrorists
around the world...

This man was convicted
of murdering 270 people.

He showed
no compassion to them.

Served only eight years,
and that works out
at about two weeks

for every one
of the lives he took.

REPORTER 3:
Liberty comes at a price.

Expected to die within months,

he will do so a guilty man.

REPORTER 4: Downing Street
released a letter written by
Prime Minister Gordon Brown,

asking the Libyan leader
to handle Megrahi's arrival
with sensitivity.

REPORTER 5: ...requested that
the Libyan authorities keep
Megrahi's return low-key.

It was anything but.

Alongside Megrahi was
Colonel Gaddafi's son,
Saif al-Islam.

Hello, Jim Swire.

Jim, Lance Ferguson
from the Mirror.

You've got the TV on, right?

- Yes.
- How are you feeling right now?

You campaigned
for Megrahi to go home,

and this is how he thanks you.

Have you been played, Jim?

Has Megrahi killed
your search for justice
stone dead?

(PHONE BEEPS OFF)

(SIGHS)

(ELEVATOR DINGS)

Jim How long
have you been waiting?

A couple of hours.

I couldn't reach you
on your phone.

We've been
in meetings all day, and...

Roddy's tied up in another case.

- (DOOR CLOSES)
- (TELEPHONE RINGING)

Come through.

JIM: I don't know why
he abandoned his appeal.

We fought so hard for him.

Why did he do it?

The Libyans requested
Megrahi's release

under a prisoner transfer
agreement between
Libya and the UK,

but, of course,
he was convicted
in a Scottish court,

and under Scottish law,
a prisoner transfer
cannot be granted

if there's an ongoing appeal,
which obviously there was.

That still left
compassionate release,

which Megrahi
met the criteria for.

Terminally ill, no more than
three months to live.

SHONA: And, crucially,
he didn't need
to drop his appeal.

The case would have still
gone to the appeal court,
even if he was in Libya.

Even if he were
to die in Libya.

Well, that's what he
promised me would happen.

His appeal would go on
no matter where he was.

ASHTON: Then,
at the eleventh hour,

he seems to have
changed his mind.

When he told us,
Roddy was devastated.

And it all happened so quickly.

He was smuggled
out of the country
before anyone could notice.

Did he leave anything for me?

A message, letter?

ASHTON: Nothing.

I only have, um, his address
and telephone number in Tripoli.

(CLEARS THROAT) May I have it?

I mean, surely, his hand
must have been forced.

We may never find out.

And maybe that's for the best.

(LINE RINGING)

REPORTER: Reportedly living
in the family villa

in an upmarket area
of Tripoli...

...Abdelbaset al-Megrahi,
the convicted Lockerbie bomber,

is still alive
after nine months.

ROBERT MENENDEZ:
Very much alive,

and very much free,

- living in the lap of luxury,
by all accounts.
- (LINE RINGING)

REPORTER 2: He only had
three months to live,

may actually live
another ten years.

REPORTER 2: The medical
evidence seems to be,

when you look at it closely,
highly suspect.

LEILA RICHARDS:
Nearly one year on,
Mr. al-Megrahi is still alive.

- (LINE RINGING)
- Correct.

RICHARDS: Have you been
in contact with him?

JIM: I've tried, but I've been
unable to reach him.

RICHARDS: Dr. Swire...

has al-Megrahi
got away with it?

A cancer prognosis,
as any doctor knows,

- is an inexact science.
- Yes.

And the inference
that he is somehow
"getting away with it,"

frankly, I find that offensive.

Why else would he
drop his appeal?

I, and many other members
of the UK Families group,

believe that the authorities
pushed Mr. al-Megrahi
to drop his appeal

so that they would
never be held to account

for the false conviction
of an innocent man.

And that is why I consider
Mr. al-Megrahi

to be the 271st victim
of Lockerbie.

RICHARDS: You realize
how many people will
find that offensive?

The purpose is not
to offend people.

The purpose is
to find the truth.

(SIGHS)

JIM: Thank you.

Where are you going?

Out.

- Where?
- God knows.
I just need some air.

I wish sometimes
you'd think about us before you
open your mouth to them.

Ah, no milk.

Sorry.

- (FRIDGE DOOR CLOSES)
- MURRAY: Mmm.

(MURRAY CLEARS THROAT)

You look exhausted.

Have you been following
the WikiLeaks story?

Uh... No, not really.

It's a media organization
that's been leaking secret

and classified
information online.

It's linked
to all sorts of stuff.

Assassinations in Somalia,
government corruption in Kenya,

Guantanamo Bay,
and thousands upon thousands
of US embassy cables.

- Well, we've read
a few of those.
- (CHUCKLES)

Everything that
the powers that be
don't want us to see.

And I found something.

Buried amongst it all.

About Megrahi.

The Libyans made
a direct threat to the UK.

What do you mean, "threat"?

They wanted Megrahi out.
Home. ASAP.

If he died in prison here,

then all trade, political ties,
would be ceased immediately.

Trade with Libya
means only one thing.

Oil.

You remember when Tony Blair
met Gaddafi in 2004?

The "Deal in the Desert"?
Aye?

Well, they met again in 2007,

and BP signed
a £90,000,000 deal.

And in that second meeting,
Blair and Gaddafi

signed a prisoner
transfer agreement.

And I reckon that was
only ever about one man.

Megrahi.

Yeah. The British wanted into
those oil fields desperately,

and Gaddafi suddenly is
threatening to rip it all up.

They had no choice but to sign.

So do you think
the Labor government
put pressure

on the Scottish government
to release him?

Well, they claim they didn't,
but it's on record.

Kenny MacAskill
took phone calls

from Jack Straw,
Lord Chancellor and
Justice Minister at the time.

And after that,
MacAskill met with Megrahi

and his Libyan lawyers
in private.

It caused an outrage
at the time.

Now, we don't know
what was said in those meetings,

but what we do know
is we've got two sides,

both wanting
what the other had.

With Megrahi
at the center of it,

all reduced
to a political pawn.

Aye.

Makes you wonder
what was behind him
dropping his appeal.

REPORTER 1: The former
Labor government
has been accused

of organized hypocrisy.

DAVID CAMERON: The Americans,
they wanted Megrahi
to die in prison,

but saying privately
to the Libyans that
they wanted him released.

REPORTER 2: I'd like to know
if there was some kind of
illicit deal here.

There was a story
in many of the newspapers

that this was done particularly
by the British government...

...in return for
getting an oil contract.

That would be despicable.

REPORTER 3: We need to know
what this oil deal
was all about

and whether there was
a compromise to the judicial
system for commercial gain.

INTERVIEWER: Some of
your citizens believe that
it was the result of a deal,

and that deal
had to do with oil.

There was no deal.
I can give you an absolute,
unconditional assurance...

NEWSCASTER: The so-called
Arab Spring appears to be
spreading to Libya today...

...as hundreds of
anti-government protesters...

...have clashed with police
in Libya's second city,
Benghazi.

Gaddafi, go away.
We don't want you.
Neither you or your family.

REPORTER 4:
Colonel Gaddafi is crazy.

They're worried
he will kill and kill and kill
just to save his regime.

REPORTER 5: This is not
an Egyptian-style
protest movement.

This is a war for Libya.

HILLARY CLINTON:
And the people of Libya

have made themselves clear.
It is time for Gaddafi to go.

REPORTER 6:
The rebel-held east of Libya
had been staring at defeat,

but now they're
tasting victory.

REPORTER 7:
A degree of chaos
is settling in here.

There are simply
too many gunmen
and no central authority.

REPORTER 8: Gaddafi,
from somewhere in hiding,

is vowing
to fight to the death.

(SHOUTING IN ARABIC)

DAVID CAMERON:
I think today is a day

to remember all of
Colonel Gaddafi's victims.

To Yvonne Fletcher,
and obviously those who died

in connection with
the Pan Am flight
over Lockerbie...

REPORTER 9:
With the fall of Gaddafi,
the darkest secrets...

...of his regime
are beginning to surface.

This is confirmation, now...

...that Colonel Gaddafi
personally ordered the bombing
of Pan Am Flight 103.

Libya's ex-foreign minister
reportedly telling a newspaper

that Gaddafi gave the order to
Abdelbaset al-Megrahi.

- (LINE RINGING)

the decision to approve
Megrahi's release.

That's 20 years

You have to go. To Libya.

I broke my word.

Forgive me.

I know that dropping
my appeal means you're still
not released from this.

Why did you?

I had no choice.

I was allowed
only to return home
to my family to die here.

Under one condition.

I still remain guilty.

I am only a tiny player
in a far greater game.

They don't care
about my innocence.

They never have.

I am no use to anyone
as an innocent man.

Only to you.

But I am tired now.

And I am dying.

I cannot take them on.
I cannot prove them wrong.

You can keep fighting.

(MEGRAHI SPEAKING ARABIC)

(DOOR CLOSES)

MEGRAHI: (IN ENGLISH) We have
worked on this together,

myself, Ghada,
and John Ashton.

We had to keep it secret,

for fear of censorship.

John will publish
the findings soon.

Please, Jim. Open, open.

PT/35b.

GHADA: The timer fragment.

The key piece of evidence
against my father.

The head of
the FBI investigation,
Richard Marquis,

said that without it,
there would not have been
an indictment.

Without it, there is no case
against my father.

But John Ashton met
the technician who built
the MEBO timer boards.

- From the timers
that were supplied to Libya.
- GHADA: Mmm.

He told him that
the circuitry on MEBO boards
was coated with an alloy

of 70% tin and 30% lead.

That is how he always
constructed them.

But PT/35b
was coated with pure tin,
no lead whatsoever.

The fragment is not
from a MEBO board.

It was not sold to Libya.

But Feraday in court,
the forensics expert,

he swore that
the timer fragment
was similar in all respects...

...to the sample boards
obtained from MEBO.

GHADA: Feraday's notes.

The page is dated
August 1991,

four months before
his forensic report.

He records that
the metallic coating on
the fragment is pure tin.

But here, on this page,
he also states

that the metallic coating
on the sample board
itself was...

You see?
You see what he's written?

In other notes,
he even speculated why
there could be discrepancies.

He knew they weren't
an exact match.

MEGRAHI: The question is,
who else knew?

The Scottish police,
the Crown office,
the prosecution, DOJ, CIA?

PT/35b...

was planted.

GHADA: The timer fragment
has no connection to Libya,

and no connection to my father.

It was used only to frame him.

The whole case against me
dissolves into thin air.

(ALL SPEAKING ARABIC)

- Dr. Jim Swire.
- (GREETS IN ARABIC)

MEGRAHI: Jim...

How did I survive so long?

How did I confound
medical expertise?

Here... is the answer.

We have lived so long
with the dead,

and we must never forget them.

But how much sweeter...

to be with the living.

(JIM SIGHS)

When I die, Jim,

I am going to a place
where I hope to see Flora.

I will tell her...

that her father is my friend.

Go back, Jim.
Go home to your family.

Our father is not
the Lockerbie bomber.

He's a good man.

He's lucky to have you

Have you got
another trip in you?

Skye, me, the kids,

Will you come?

Am I wanted?

I'll leave you to it.

MURRAY: So where do you think
the fragment came from?

We think... Baset, Ghada,
John Ashton, myself...

we think it was planted,

somewhere along the line.

Planted where?

JIM: Well, it could have been
planted by the US
intelligence services,

or the UK's, or both of them
conspiring together.

It's happened before.

Is that what happened here?

Have they fooled the world
for 30 years?

If you think about
everything that's happened,

is it really so wild a claim?

Let Iran off the hook,

blame the rogue state, Libya.

Maybe there's some
truth in that.

Younger Murray believed it.

"Just asking the question."

I've still got questions.

(CHUCKLES)

I'll never run out of them.

Why did Gaddafi want to get
one man back to Libya so badly?

Why was it so important to him?

- Popularity?
- Yeah.

Partly, because Megrahi
is a hero, a martyr.

We saw that
when he got off that plane.

I think he was involved, Jim.

I really do.

I think Iran wanted revenge
for its Airbus being shot down.

They farmed it out
to the PFLP-GC,

but then they got busted
by the German police.

So someone else
stepped forward.

Libya.

I think when they
handed Megrahi and Fhimah
over to be tried,

they didn't think
they'd be convicted.

There wasn't enough evidence.

But he was found guilty.

Gaddafi owed it to Megrahi
to get him home.

He owed it to all his
security service personnel
for keeping him in power.

But just because
it was a sham trial,

it doesn't make
Megrahi innocent.

It was Libya.

It was also Iran.

And Syria.
And the Palestinians.

You believe all of them?

I don't think we ever
truly realize

how much the West is hated.

And no wonder.
Look how we act, what we do.

Look how we justify it.

I mean,
always someone else.

Never us.

You might never find
the answer you're looking for.

You know that?

Well, there, Murray,

I have to disagree with you.

That's new evidence.

No one can dispute it.

No one. Changes everything.

So the fight goes on.

Well, of course
the fight goes on.

They're gonna write that
on your gravestone,
you know that?

Well, I'm not planning
one of those just yet.

It's been a hell of a ride,
Dr. Swire.

It's far from over, Murray.

It's far from over.

Can I pay for that?

What's that?

The Lockerbie disaster.

What was that?
