Fearless

She's messing with some pretty powerful people here.

They wanna shut her up, they can.

This was Linda's boyfriend. He was with US Air Force.

I didn't hurt Linda. I could never hurt her.

We were in love.

Bradley's a sideshow here, you know that.

Don't make the cover-up worse than the crime.

He's done it. The Iraq veteran, the young backbencher,

has just won!

He's the real thing, where your investment should lie.

How did you even get to know Linda? Her uncle.

Phil Simms. You saw Linda that night, didn't you?

I dropped him off. I drove away.

Who else? Linda's friend.

Rachel Leigh.

Do you remember the autopsy report? She was buried here.

If you were exposed, you and your bloody sinister cabal...

Why would we kill a girl, even by accident, then conceal the facts?

You're scared. Is it for yourself, or is it for someone else?

Get out!

Met the love of my life here.

And then I lost him.

You were 18. It would have ruined your life.

Now how do we know what it would have done to my life?

They're trying to hide something that happened weeks before the war.

There was security business on the base that night.

Private planes landing. VIPs.

Why did they come to the UK?

There is no interest in investigating what happened 14 years ago.

We need to find Rachel Leigh. She told a big fat lie.

Oh, God!

Way down in the water

Way down in the hole

Far away from any soul

'Where there is discord, may we bring harmony.

And where there is despair, may we bring hope.'

I'm coming back from the fire

Put your trust in us.

Crawling back from the flames

We shall repay that trust for you.

Coming back from the fire, not burning down

Turn it! Spin it!

Spin the camera.

Spin the camera!

I'm so sorry.

I should have left him in jail, then he'd still be alive.

All the fuss I made, what did it do?

It proved he was innocent.

It proved nothing.

I'm sorry, Kevin.

You said you'd found something.

Well, I...

I had, erm... I have.

So what are you going to do with it?

Well, it's difficult.

Why? If you've found something.

I can't get anyone to listen.

I tried, I really did.

And now he's dead...

so who cares, right?

And he's still guilty.

Forever.

Fuck, fuck, fuck! Fuck it!

I... I killed him because I took a deal.

I promised I'd prove him innocent.

Annie was right.

I should have left him in jail.

Sssh.

You did everything you could.

No, no, no, no, no.

Dreaming of glory?

Still a long way to go and a great deal to be done.

Alastair told me that Banville knows, that she worked it out.

How?

It doesn't matter. She can't do anything about it, because A... nobody cares

and B... she can't connect it to the girl.

Nothing connects to the girl.

Not quite nothing.

That's another issue, isn't it?

You, at least, are in the clear, as long as you hold your nerve.

Do you think Banville will just give up?

Her client's dead, her credibility's shot.

Any normal person would.

So, will you head back to the States? Mm-mm.

Not yet. I think you should.

You think I don't want to?

That I wouldn't rather be with my children, instead of wading through all this...

this shit?

You still need me.

What if she doesn't give up?

Then I'll drop a fucking rock on her head.

The Kevin Russell case is now closed.

Give Maggie what she needs to present the bill by the end of the week.

That includes you, Emma.

Yes.

As far the Attars are concerned...

I assume we'll just take the loss?

Emma?

Emma? Emma?

Sorry.

Em? Is that you, love?

Yeah.

'February '03, I was working in the Cabinet Office.'

'I met a chap called Kretchmer from the US Department of Defense

and an Iraqi scientist, he had information about Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons.'

'Who else was there that evening?'

'There were some British and American intelligence officers.

Even if I knew their names, I wouldn't tell you.'

'You're still missing someone.'

'Why would we?

Kill a girl, even by accident, and then conceal the facts, lie about it?

Tell me, why?'

'You're scared.

Why? Get out!

Is it for yourself or is it for someone else?

Get out!'

'Who else was there that evening?'

'I'm scared, Daddy, really scared.'

'It's OK. Trust me.'

Daddy, I'm scared.

I'm so scared, Daddy.

Daddy, what is it?'

'Oh, Daddy!'

'Trust me.'

'You can't keep the baby now, you can't.'

'Trust me.'

I had the dream again.

Me on the wall. My dad.

The photograph.

How did it end?

It didn't. It never does.

And he's gonna die soon and it's all gonna be left unsaid.

Then why don't you talk to him, have it out?

Yeah, but it's gonna upset him too much.

Well, not doing it is gonna be worse, for both of you.

Yeah.

This is just silly.

Come to bed.

The best sausages you've ever ever had!

I'll be the judge of that. Thank you.

Ignore that. Thank you.

I knew it. Typical.

Yeah? 'It's Olivia Greenwood.'

What do you want? 'I heard about Kevin Russell.'

I'm sorry.

Look, I know this is probably irrelevant. because you'll have moved on...

No. It was you who moved on. I tried to find you, I only got that fool Staines.

Do you want to hear what I've got?

OK.

I found Rachel Leigh's mother.

A nursing home in Finchley.

Are you gonna go and talk to her? I can't.

I've been suspended.

Do you want the address or not? Yeah.

St Agatha's, Milburn Road, Finchley.

Just so you know, the home said she has dementia. It may be a waste of time.

If I find anything, do you want me to call you?

Yeah. Keep me informed.

I'm sorry about all this.

What do you want?

I had an odd conversation with that American woman, Heather Myles.

What was odd about it?

Her interest in Banville.

In the threat that Miriam Attar made against Banville.

She seemed to take it seriously, but we haven't, it just didn't seem...

So maybe you should just be honest with me for once.

Why is this woman so interested in Banville?

Does she have many visitors?

Not while I've been here, which is more than three years.

And does she ever mention her family?

She hasn't mentioned anyone. She's in her own world.

Not more than ten minutes. OK?

Maureen?

'.. tonight's programme, Matthew Wild, the man everyone is saying could be...'

Hello, Maureen, I'm Emma Banville.

Why has she taken my breakfast?

Erm... Can I talk to you?

She did, you know.

Every last... last bit, the greedy beast.

I'd like to show you something.

No, no. Not hungry.

A photo.

Do you recognise either of these girls?

That's your daughter Rachel, with the dark hair.

Do you know where she is?

Do you...

'.. I would stop us ever making the same mistake again.'

When did you last see Rachel? Sssh.

Sssh. Sssh. Sssh.

' Well, the day I first met my wife.

My whole life changed.'

'Do you remember that day?'

Why? Why? Why? 'Yeah. Absolutely.

She was handing out leaflets and knocking on doors in the pouring rain...'

Why has she changed her hair?

'Well, I did win and Laura and I are in it together now for the long haul.

For better or for worse.'

'So that's where we leave them, the new leader and his family,

in a brief moment of relaxation before he starts the biggest battle of his career.'

How did you become her?
