CUT TO:

INT. AC-12. INTERVIEW ROOM. INTERCUT.

Rod is very nervous, shifting in his seat.

ROD:

The three of us ended up fighting

over the gun. We did everything we

could to try and stop him. We just

couldn’t.

CUT TO:

INT. AC-12. INTERVIEW ROOM. INTERCUT.

Kate.

STEVE:

Did he make any kind of statement?

KATE:

He tried to say something.

10:
08:58

DOT:

What did he say?

KATE:

I couldn’t make it out, sir.

CUT TO:

INT. AC-12. INTERVIEW ROOM. INTERCUT.

Jump cut Rod, Katie then Hari’s interview. All

look very nervous.

HASTINGS:

Now Daniel Waldron, as you know,

was involved in the shooting of a

suspect during Operation Damson.

STEVE:

You and Victor Charlie Five Two and

Five Three were on his team and

witnessed what really happened. Was

Danny coercing you into

corroborating his version of

events?

HARI:

(As if idea is crazy)

No.

Steve refers to a typed transcript.

STEVE:

For the tape, I am referring to a

transcript of an interview with you

on May 21st. DI Cottan and I

repeatedly asked you if there were

inaccuracies in your account of

Sergeant Waldron’s shooting of

Ronan Murphy, to which you replied:

“I can’t do this. I’m sorry. I

can’t do this. No way am I

testifying against Danny Waldron.”

HARI:

No.

DOT:

How’s about Danny Waldron scared

you into covering for him. And then

the three of you clubbed together

and then you put an end to it.

Jackie is holding back the tears. |

Hari’s interview. |

If Danny was threatening me. I|

Rod recovers to fight back. |

|

ROD |

He can be a difficult bastard,|

yeah. But on an op you’ve got your |

skipper’s back. We were trying to |

save him, not hurt him. |

|

As does Hari. |

|

HARI |

(To Hastings.)|

Danny Waldron killed himself, sir, |

that’s the honest truth. |

|

STEVE |

Why, though? Given back his |

firearms licence, he was |

operational again. As far as |

Waldron was concerned, the case |

against him was closed. |

|

HARI |

Who knows what was going on in his |

head? |

|

Hari just looking totally lost, wanting the |

ground to open up. |
