The Truth Commissioner Page #6

when the widow of murdered

Edward Lorimer violently attacked

one of those who admitted

to her husband's murder.

Mrs. Lorimer launched herself on

him after listening to his apology.

Mr. Stanfield said the

incident was regrettable

but perhaps understandable,

given the years of suffering

endured by many of

the victims' families

who are appearing at the commission.

Krystal's phone.

Um... May I speak with Krystal?

She's gone away.

I see. For how long?

Who's calling?

Thomas Tatless.

She won't be back any time

soon. Do you have a message?

No.

Um... No, thank you.

May I join you?

No.

I asked you not to meddle in this process,

and you completely ignored me.

And I know you are using Laura.

Come on, Henry. She was

hardly going to sleep with you.

(DRINK POURS)

What is it you are advising the PM on?

Stability in the institutions,

keeping an eye on the

long-term objective, peace.

Usefully vague.

And is she heeding your advice?

So, how do you think

the commission is going?

Apart from yesterday's incident, not bad.

Unfortunate, that.

Yes.

The case of Connor Roche

is soon to come before you.

The Roches have asked you

to expand the witness list.

Fully within the terms of my remit.

No-one is disputing that.

Good.

Did you tell Laura that calling Gilroy

might be more truth

than the PM had in mind?

God, Henry. You can't account

for every casual remark.

- I'll take that as a yes.

- When is your daughter's baby due by the way?

I understand she and Maria

Roche know one another.

What's so special about Francis Gilroy?

He is not responsible for

Connor Roche's disappearance.

Yes, so Sinn Fein said. Do

you take their word on that?

We all want the Roches to have closure.

It's such a stupid word,

that, don't you think?

So the man who actually

pulled the trigger will attend

the commission but it would be

best if that were the end of it.

What is it you don't want

the world to know, Jake?

Anything that might destabilise

the extremely hard-won peace.

The Roches deserve the truth.

The truth is Gilroy may

have been an idiot once

but compared to most of

them he's Mahatma Gandhi.

The truth is he's one

of the reasons most of us

have enjoyed a bomb-free

existence for ten years.

The truth is none of us

much fancies the alternative.

Is that your advice?

You have a friend named Krystal.

Someone paid her to set you up

but because my interest is stability

in the institutions I intervened.

- Intervened?

- She works here illegally.

She has a six-year-old son. She

wasn't difficult to persuade.

- Where is she?

- That... You don't need to know.

If she contacts you again or refers

to these again she'll be deported.
