And BURR stares. DROMGOOLE is holding up the certificates.
BURR:
Yes.
DROMGOOLE:
certificates. For Bulgaria and
Italy.
BURR:
That’s not true.
DROMGOOLE:
I have signed letters from both
Italian and Bulgarian governments
confirming the sale.
He hands her the letters. BURR stares.
PERMANENT SECRETARY
I spoke to Rex Mayhew during his
handover, before he joined the
Royal Commission. He said you
persuaded someone to leak
intelligence from the River House.
Someone you referred to as the
Boatman?
HARRY PALFREY’s face is frozen.
BURR:
I’ve never heard of such a person.
DROMGOOLE:
Then how did you get your hands on
the certificates? They’re
classified material.
BURR stares at him.
BURR:
An angel gave them to me. With a
halo.
Beat.
PERMANENT SECRETARY
You do understand the seriousness
of this enquiry Ms Burr?
BURR is silent. PALFREY’s face is one of racked tension.
Later:
BURR pale, exhausted. The interrogation has beenrelentless and she is 8 months pregnant and feeling it.
PERMANENT SECRETARY (CONT’D)
Let’s move on to the arms swoop
itself.

PERMANENT SECRETARY (CONT’D)
Based on what we now know to be
flawed intelligence, you authorised
through an American enforcement
connection, and behind the FCO’s
back, a full US military raid on
twenty aid trucks crossing the
Turkish-Syrian border.
BURR:
Rex Mayhew authorised it. Not me.
PERMANENT SECRETARY
On his last day. And on your cast-
iron guarantee that the
intelligence was solid. Where did
you get this intelligence?
BURR:
It came from a source close to
Tradepass and to Richard Roper.
PERMANENT SECRETARY
Can you be more specific?
Beat. This is it. This is why they are here. It’s as if
everyone is leaning forward.
BURR shakes her head. DROMGOOLE stares at her.
BURR:
To do so would be to place lives in
danger. I can’t do that.
PERMANENT SECRETARY
This is a behind-closed-doors
enquiry Ms Burr. Names will be
redacted from the records. So why
can’t you tell us?
The room blurring slightly.
BURR:
You know why.
She stares at them all. A deadly silence.
BURR (CONT’D)
You all know why.
11 OMITTED 11
12 INT. LONDON. IEA OFFICES. DAY. 12
BURR walks in and stops dead. The office is deserted, none of
the new team are there any more, none of the gear. ROOK
stares across.
ROOK:
They were pulled out this morning.
Order from the Ministry.
BURR conceals her deep despair.
BURR:
Just the two of us again is it?
ROOK:
Not even that I’m afraid.
He shows her a letter.
