It's an old map of the mine painted on linen. Nearly 100 years old, but accurate to an inch.

JEDBURGH

Where is it we're going?
|

Five: Northmoor

GODBOLT

All the way from here.... to there. Ten miles. I suppose you would've preferred a computer printout.

Five: Northmoor

No, sir. This here's just fine.

He was over there. We were standing here. He stepped forward, shouting my name.

Five: Northmoor

Is this stream a permanent feature?

Five: Northmoor

CRAVEN

No. It's new.

Five: Northmoor

JEDBURGH

Oh Jephthah, Son of Israel, what a treasure hadst thou! What treasure had he, my lord? Why, one fine daughter and no more, which he loved passing well.

I had a call from Washington a few moments ago. Somebody's about to break into your plant. Darius Jedburgh, no less. On instructions from the CIA. His guide is an employee of yours, James Godbolt, and they're accompanied by Detective Inspector Ronald Craven. What are the chances of them getting into the plant?

All we got is Bennett's phone call.

Five: Northmoor

CONNORS

How many men?
|

Five: Northmoor

CHILDS

Three of them. They're coming in the same way as last time.

Not without exposing the flasks. There's been a drought, don't forget. The reservoir is drying up.

|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
CONNORS
|
This is what we do. We lay gas at the end of each level, then we flood them. The pressure of the water will push the gas through every tunnel in the plant.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
CHILDS
|
If we expose the flasks, we're going to have a bigger problem on our hands than last time. Go and see for yourself.

You see. We just don't have it.

I'm the chairman of this committee, old boy, and I have to tell you we have a great deal of business to get through.

Do we have the pathologist's report on this body?

Hello, Bobby. Are you about to hit us for six?
|

|
|
Five: Northmoor

BENNETT

I think so. Do you know Jerry Grogan?
|
|
|

Five: Northmoor

PENDLETON

No. How do you do?

Guy's a friend of Jedburgh's.

Great soldier in his day.

BENNETT

Has Harcourt read my statement? He's looking a bit sick.
|

Five: Northmoor

No, he always looks like that this early.

Jedburgh isn't here today?

No, he rarely pokes his nose in this place.

CHILWELL

A few days ago, Mr Bennett, the body of a young woman was discovered in the Corrie Reservoir. The pathologist's report suggests that, although she died from drowning, she had suffered a radiation accident only an hour before her death. Now, since your Northmoor site is the nearest nuclear site to the reservoir, and since it shares with the Corrie the local water table, I wonder whether you have any evidence which might throw light on this occurrence?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
CRAVEN
|
How deep does this go?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
GODBOLT
|
Eight hundred feet, then we hit water.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
This rope is not 800 feet long, Godbolt.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
GODBOLT
|
There is a gallery 60 feet down. That's our way in.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Sixty feet. I'm counting.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
BENNETT
|
In July this year, my plant at Northmoor was broken into by terrorists, who stole a quantity of plutonium we had in store. We had to take the necessary action to stop them getting away.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
CHILWELL
|
What action?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
BENNETT
|
I gave orders to flood the lower gallery. As far as I can determine, they were all drowned.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
CHILWELL
|
Was there no alternative?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
BENNETT
|
None. If we hadn't acted promptly, they might have got away with it. And the consequences... I leave that for you to judge.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
PELHAM
|
I'm afraid this raises more questions than it answers. Why was plutonium being stored in Northmoor? Who were these terrorists? And why... Why were the AEA not notified of this incident?

How did she get back? Alone?

|
Five: Northmoor

GODBOLT

She made it.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
PELHAM
|
Under the NAIR scheme, you should have informed the police. Did you?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
BENNETT
|
No. We did not inform the police.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
BEWES
|
Under the site licence, issued by the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate, you should have informed both the AEA, and the Health and Safety Executive.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
BENNETT
|
We did not inform either of those bodies.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
PELHAM
|
Then whom did you inform?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
BENNETT
|
We informed the Ministry of Defence. The plutonium we were storing was the property of the MOD. We felt they were the only people we were authorised to communicate with.

Don't knock it, Godbolt. It's our capacity for deception that distinguishes us from the animals.

Yes.

Perhaps you could tell the committee exactly what your present function is.

I'm what might be called a troubleshooter.

Does that mean you're in intelligence?

Mr Harcourt, who or what first drew your attention to the present situation at IIF?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor

HARCOURT
|
The Treasury, they'd heard that the company was about to be taken over by one of the big American energy corporations and wanted a fix on it.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
BEWES
|
How long ago was that?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor

HARCOURT
|
A year.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
CHILWELL
|
And what was your reaction?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
HARCOURT
|
A surprise. I wasn't able to understand what an industrial giant like Fusion would want with a low-grade storage plant in Yorkshire.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
BEWES
|
They hold the Queen's Award for Industry.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
CHILWELL
|
So what, on reflection, made this company so interesting to the Fusion Corporation?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
HARCOURT
|
Well, it had to be something quite unique, and I narrowed it down to one possibility. The ability to manufacture plutonium, illegally.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
PELHAM
|
So you and GAIA came to the same conclusion?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor

We both read the Marsh Report.

You're a driven man, aren't you, Craven? Here we on the floor of Plato's cave, with food from Harrods, a whole hillside of wine, all you can think about is, "Let's get going?"

Because of who he is.

Yeah, sure. Why not? Look at yourself. You think of yourself as an English provincial detective whose daughter died in tragic circumstances. Yet, where she fell, a well sprang, flowers grow. Now, what kind of power is that?

My first suspicions were aroused when I read the Marsh Report, which suggested that certain radioactive isotopes were found in the Corrie Reservoir. Now, I feel that that report motivated the GAIA organisation into planning their raid.

The Marsh Report, if I remember correctly, discounted Northmoor. It believed that Sellafield was responsible for the emissions.

HARCOURT
|
I think you will find if you read between the lines that that was not the case with Northmoor. It was simply assumed that since no plutonium was being reprocessed, it could not be held responsible...

Five: Northmoor
|
BEWES
|
Mr Chairman, this line of argument is getting us nowhere. The Marsh Report on the Corrie Reservoir has been completely discredited, not least by Friends of the Earth. This witness's evidence doesn't stand up. It's been introduced simply to discredit Northmoor and to scupper the takeover by Fusion, Kansas, which is in the interests of the whole country, as well as the nuclear industry itself. We are all looking forward to a great deal more privatisation of this sector, and it's a great pity to see so many obstacles being put in the way of this process.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
CHILWELL
|
I must ask you, Mr Harcourt, do you have any prima facie evidence, apart from the body in the Corrie Reservoir, which suggests the existence of any kind of illegal reprocessing at Northmoor?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
HARCOURT
|
Not at this precise moment, no.

CHILWELL

I'm afraid, Mr Harcourt, we really can't take all this on board without it. You may be perfectly right, but as long as the evidence remains purely circumstantial, I regret we cannot act upon it. However, your views will be noted.
