Patrick Fairbank...

CUT TO:

INT. AC-12. INTERVIEW ROOM. CONTINUOUS.

Fairbank and his Solicitor face Hastings and

Maneet.

HASTINGS (CONT’D)

...Some new information has come to

light that we’d like to put to you.

PC Bindra?

Everyone turns wearily to the document. Fairbank

puts his glasses on.

MANEET:

Document 27 is a transcript of a

professional tribunal which took

place on 19th September, 1998, in

which Oliver Stephens-Lloyd

recorded he’d submitted a list of

names of abusers at Sands View.

FAIRBANK:

Not this list again. I don’t know

anything about any list. Where is

this new information? I think we’re

done.

Then Kate appears with the folder she showed Joe

Nash, moving towards the interview room.

HASTINGS:

Actually, no. If you could just

keep your seat please.

Fairbank and his solicitor stay seated.

HASTINGS (CONT’D)

I think we’re about to hear some

new evidence. Thank you.

Then Kate appears with the folder she showed Joe

Nash, moving towards the interview room.

Enter Kate. She takes a seat.

MANEET:

For the tape, DC Fleming has joined

the interview.

Fairbank eyes Kate.

HASTINGS:

Kate.

Kate lays out a vid-cap of Fairbank.

KATE:

For the tape, I am showing the

interviewee a video capture, Item

KMF-4. Who is shown in item KMF-4?

FAIRBANK:

I refused to take part in any video

identification.

KATE:

You did, which meant we were forced

to use a video capture from your

previous interview.

HASTINGS:

(To Solicitor.)

And we are legally entitled to use

this image because your client was

notified that he was going to be

questioned regarding an offence,

Misconduct in Public Office.

KATE:

In accordance with Paragraph 5,

Code D of the Police and Criminal

Evidence Act, Item KMF-4 alongside

eight other video captures of

unrelated, similar persons was

shown by an officer independent of

this inquiry to a witness who was a

resident at Sands View Boys’ Home

in the 1990s. This witness

identified KMF-4 as showing one of

the men who sexually abused him.

Fairbank is shell-shocked, speechless.

HASTINGS:

These politicians and celebrities,

they couldn’t have got away this

time and time again without the

collusion of police officers. I

mean, I kept asking myself over and

over again, how could they turn a

blind eye? How could they allow

these appalling things to happen to

these children? Of course the

answer’s plain as day. They didn’t

turn a blind eye – they were in on

it.
