Jedburgh isn't here today?

PENDLETON

No, he rarely pokes his nose in this place.

What about Craven?

PENDLETON

He's, um, taking the day off.

HARCOURT

Well, they look very chipper.

PENDLETON
|
They know. Someone's told them.

 Right. This is where it begins.

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?

How deep does this go?

GODBOLT
|
Eight hundred feet, then we hit water.

JEDBURGH

This rope is not 800 feet long, Godbolt.

GODBOLT
|
There is a gallery 60 feet down. That's our way in.
|

JEDBURGH
|
Sixty feet. I'm counting.

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.
|

CHILWELL
|
What action?
|
|
|
|

|
BENNETT
|
I gave orders to flood the lower gallery. As far as I can determine, they were all drowned.
|

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.

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?
