Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Ah.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
I was sorry to hear your news, Inspector.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Letters, Ellen.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
It must have been a great blow.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Bizarre, I know, but not the sort who posts things to the Guardian.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Art school.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
What do you know about GAIA?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
And what did she tell you?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Was she a member?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
You agree with her views?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Sit down, Mr Craven.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Would you say that GAIA was a subversive organisation?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Did you know that six of them broke into the nuclear waste plant at Northmoor, eight weeks ago, and they were led by your daughter?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
[O.S.] We've had a report from the coroner.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Her body was subject to massive doses of radiation consistent with her participation in the break-in.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
And there is this.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
How did she come to possess this?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
You like to play things close to the chest, don't you, Craven?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Surely Mr Pendleton explained that last night?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
He didn't have to. We work direct to Cabinet Office, and as far as they're concerned, we have ?????????? ??????????????.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
[O.S.] All I can tell you is that we are interested in anything that goes on at Northmoor.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
That is our brief. What concerns us at the moment is whether your daughter's death is as a result of the break-in or as your police colleagues believe, a rather unfortunate accident. What do you think?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
We haven't got a file on her, have we?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
I see no reason why Mr Craven shouldn't be put in touch with Jedburgh, providing he helps us first.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
[O.S.] That's right.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
We have no intention of putting you in the picture. That's what we're paid for.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Well...
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Who does this remind you of?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
You were investigating an election fraud involving Godbolt's union?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Did you know that he had a close relationship with the people that run Northmoor?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Had it occurred to you that someone might have been interested in trying to get him re-elected?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
Well, now that you do know, would you agree that it would have been in their interest to see that their man got his job back?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
And that they would have had both the skill and the opportunity to execute the fraud?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
HARCOURT
|
What time was your meeting?
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
There's no need to play the Texan, Jedburgh we can take it as read.
|

|
HARCOURT
|
We're not funded by the MOD, but by the Prime Minister's office.
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
Mr Pendleton has us down as a band of strolling players.
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
As professional historians.

|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
Well, what about Lowe?
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
How did he react?
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
If we knew, you'd be the last to be told.
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
He's flying in for the enquiry. He's going to buy IIF.
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
And what's in it.
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
Well, you certainly upset Mr Bennett.
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
I want him to know that you're on to him.
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
Well, aren't you?
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
Yes, I'm looking for a witness. Well-spoken, of good character, a police officer if possible, and well-motivated. A daughter having recently been murdered would be useful.
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
We'll provide you with all the information necessary to blast Bennett out of the water.
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
Our intel...
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
Our intelligence is coming from people whose cover we can't afford to blow. But anything coming from you will look as though you picked it up in the course of investigating your daughter's death.

HARCOURT
|
 Hey! Pendleton!
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
Well?
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
Women, Pendleton, even dead, would not like to be known as girls. Well, is it radioactive?
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
What was death by?
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
What sort of radiation?
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
So, what you are saying is for that body to have been contaminated by caesium 137 it would have to have been exposed to a plutonium manufacturing process?
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
There's a Mr Jedburgh.
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
He's an Acting Energy Attach? at the US embassy, but he's straight CIA.
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
There's Craven. He's a Yorkshire CID officer.
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
His daughter was one of the GAIA team that went down.
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
Not for long.
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
If we can find him. He's skipped hospital.
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
Thank you, Mark. Harcourt.
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
Where are you?
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
I'll be right over. Thank you.
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
Which one, Ronnie or Emma?
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
Are they sure that it's an intruder?
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
I think we've got to get someone into that plant.
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
Morning.
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
My dear chap, why should I do something like that?
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
You've been called, Mr Godbolt.
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
I don't think they're going to let you speak.
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
Evidently, our friend here signed himself out of hospital. Bennett got hold of his psychiatric report, it could undermine his testimony.
|
|
|
|
Four: Breakthrough
|
HARCOURT
|
You have a fixation for trees, Craven. An arboreal passion. That can be made to sound very odd in the hands of a skilled interrogator. Anyway, there's something better for you to do.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
HARCOURT
|
Whatever Bennett says, I don't want you to adjourn. I want him kept on that stand as long as possible.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
HARCOURT
|
Well, they look very chipper.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
HARCOURT
|
Yes.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
HARCOURT
|
I'm what might be called a troubleshooter.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
HARCOURT
|
No, ma'am. I'm a lawyer.
|
|
|
|
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
|
HARCOURT
|
A year.
|
|
|
|
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
|
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
|
HARCOURT
|
We both read the Marsh Report.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
HARCOURT
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
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
|
HARCOURT
|
Not at this precise moment, no.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Has Craven got any idea where Jedburgh went?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
If there's an Irish component to this, I shall retire.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Harcourt?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
What made him skip?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
At least he knows his days are numbered.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
And he'll get back the plutonium?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Well, tell him to try Scotland. Grogan's there. He's at a conference at the Gleneagles Hotel.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Yes.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Well, in a roundabout way, yes.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Four, Minister. And three at the plant makes seven.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Until he's caught.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Well, he wasn't before, but he certainly is now.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
It's a copy. We sent the original to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Because it proves that there is a hot cell at Northmoor, built in contravention of IAEA safeguards.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
The contamination in the reservoir can now be traced directly to it. They are liable to prosecution under the Radioactive Substances Act of 1960.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Northmoor was producing plutonium illegally, contrary to the Nuclear Installations Act of 1968, the NPT and every other international agreement. They are breaking every law in the nuclear rule book.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
You knew about it?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
But I don't understand, if you knew what caused the contamination, why was I brought in to investigate it?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
So, my involvement was purely part of a deception plan?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
But you must have known that I would find out what was going on in the end.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
I will not withdraw that report.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Look, I have my own sources in Washington and they've sent me a complete rundown of what's going on there.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
(SCOFFS QUIETLY)
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
I think we should leave it to Craven.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Who's their man?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Who would he be after up here?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
I thought I ordered oatcakes.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Well, has he got it?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
He'll be dead by then. I just hope he gave you the right instructions.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Well, what's next?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Same old circuit?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
What's for pudding?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
My dear Clemmy, within hours of Jedburgh's death and in conditions of great secrecy, the plutonium was recovered from Loch Lednock. It was an IIF show. No one else would take responsibility for the stuff, certainly not Her Majesty's Government. Myself and Pendleton turned up just to show the flag and to remind Grogan that this was only the first round.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Ah, yes, Grogan was there, watching the proceedings like some 20th-century vampire, although after his exposure to Jedburgh's plutonium at the conference, I don't hold out much for his chances.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
You asked about Craven. The last we saw of him was up on the hill overlooking the loch, staring down at us like a wild animal.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Neither myself nor Pendleton felt it appropriate to wave. Besides, by my reckoning, he was not long for this world. When we left he was still on the hill.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
I only wish we could have shouted out some words of comfort, told him that in the end, the earth, Emma's beloved Gaia, would be saved from ultimate destruction, and that the good in all of us would prevail. But in the circumstances, I don't think he would have believed it.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
As we drove down the valley, I thought I heard a cry, but it was lost in the noise of the helicopter.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
When I looked back, he was gone.
|
|
