The Truth Commissioner Page #3

What?

You're going to be a

grandfather. Congratulations.

(MUSIC PLAYS SOFTLY)

(WHISPERING):
Take that lady a

glass of Champagne, would you?

(WHISPERING):
From the

gentleman over there.

Mind if I join you?

So, you don't like to

drink Champagne alone?

Can't abide it.

Tom. How do you do?

Krystal.

What brings you to Belfast?

Men. Like you.

Ah.

Yes.

Where are you from?

Kiev.

Interesting city.

And you?

Why Belfast?

I'm a lawyer, I have a client.

Hmm.

Are you hungry?

I haven't decided.

You're very beautiful.

(SHE CHUCKLES)

Are you married, Tom?

My wife died.

When?

Two years ago.

I know a quiet restaurant near here.

If you'd prefer.

Yes, I'd like that.

Dad, it's Emma. Why am I not

surprised you're not answering?

I saw you on the TV.

"Henry Stanfield brings

honesty, integrity

"and experience to this job."

Did you write that for

her? Sounds like it.

Look, I'm really calling

to say that Maria told me

that you and she had met,

and that she had given you a letter

with all the details

about her brother.

I just wanted to say...

it means a lot to her.

Anyway, call me.

Maybe we can meet up.

(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS)

The Roche file has been tampered with.

Pages missing, others

substituted after the fact.

He's screwing with us.

Calls me "dear".

He's protecting someone.

Obviously, but who?

DI James Fenton, Special Branch,

retired, and Francis Gilroy.

Gilroy? The Minister?

Maria Roche claims Fenton ran

her brother as an informer,

and Gilroy had him shot.

That may be more truth

than the PM is ready for.

Is that a Jake Marston

line? Sounds like it.

Jake completely supports

the Truth Commission.

Jake and I have been down this road before.

So, what do you want to do?

We call Gilroy and Fenton

before the commission.

- Right. If you're sure.

- Yes, I am.

Even if Jake isn't.

(TYRES SQUEAL)

Mr. Rafferty.

Your man Stanfield is making waves.

He's not my man.

It's an independent

commission, more's the pity.

Your Prime Minister appointed him.

Your Mr. Gilroy, does he know?

Now would not be a good time to tell him.

Francis needs a holiday.

I'm afraid that's your problem.

I'm afraid it's yours.

All right.

You keep Gilroy on the rails,

I'll make sure Stanfield backs off.

NEWS:
And as the recently

established Truth Commission

gets underway in Belfast,

families of those

killed in the conflict

will come face-to-face

with those responsible...

...whether these witness

statements will amount to

an admission or an

apology is yet to be seen.

A spokesman for the

victims' families said...

Questions have been asked about

the validity of the process...

We had to do something.

The UVF only took lives
