00:01This video is brought to you by S.T.A.L.A.
00:38I don't know.
01:03Two skeletons found just inside the mine, sir.
01:06Who found them?
01:07Workmen at the site.
01:08We've just reopened the entrance.
01:10Was it sealed up?
01:11Has been for years.
01:13So why were they reopening it?
01:14Somebody like to tell me what's going on?
01:16Who are you?
01:17William Whelan.
01:18And this is my land.
01:19How long are you going to be?
01:20We'll be as long as is necessary, Mr Whelan.
01:22I have contracts with private firms that are costing me money for no work.
01:25Why was the mine being reopened?
01:27The whole place has been transformed into a modern mining museum.
01:30Once you lot get out of my way.
01:31Boss, according to the workmen who opened up the shaft,
01:34the mine had been bricked up for years.
01:35Aye, nearly 30 years since the mine shut down.
01:38But part of the brick work was different.
01:39It was as if after the mine closed,
01:41it was broken into and then sealed up again.
01:43Recently?
01:44Nah, looks like it happened years ago.
01:45I want to see the scene for myself.
01:47Aye, but we have to get suited up first.
02:00You two want to go instead?
02:02No, you're all right, Robbie.
02:03Besides, orange would clash with my hair.
02:15I doubt that they were minors.
02:17One's a woman.
02:20The hands are clasped.
02:22Wedding rings.
02:23Married couple.
02:24Have you checked further in?
02:26Not yet.
02:28I can't guarantee your safety in there.
02:30We haven't checked the roof.
02:32Aye.
02:33Keep an eye on it.
02:38Any idea how long these bodies have been here?
02:41It's got to be at least five years.
02:43Possibly longer.
02:44Madame would have taken us to be a default position.
02:46What the hell are they doing here?
02:48So this is some kind of tomb?
02:50Boss!
02:51What?
02:53I'll take a look at this.
02:59There's a load of household stuff here.
03:03Furnitures, suitcases, sofa, standard land.
03:07What?
03:09Where did all this come from?
03:11I don't know.
03:12Looks like somebody was actually living down here.
03:16Hey!
03:17We've got what looks like the contents of a house down here.
03:20Any ideas?
03:21A house?
03:22How do you think it got here?
03:23I've no idea.
03:24We've not been that far in yet.
03:25I want everything removed for examination.
03:35The mine's right next to Garsden.
03:37It closed in 1980.
03:39One of several mines in the area.
03:41All of them all now shut.
03:43And the town suffered?
03:44It wasn't until later that it really suffered.
03:461985.
03:47A victim of Thatcher's victory over the unions.
03:50It's a bit run down now.
03:51It was always a bit run down.
03:53You know the place?
03:54Yeah.
03:55I grew up there.
03:57You never mentioned that before.
03:59No.
04:00I didn't, did I?
04:03Anyway, it's the closest place to the mine,
04:05so maybe the couple came from there.
04:07Maybe they were actually living in the mine.
04:09If that was the case,
04:10how did it get bricked up with them still inside?
04:15What we have is a fractured skull
04:17and none of your glancing blows.
04:19Here, a big, brittle thwack in the head.
04:22Three major indents.
04:23Couldn't have been accidental.
04:25It could be if he ran into a heavy blunt instrument
04:28at the speed of light three times in a row.
04:30No.
04:31This man's at his head caved in.
04:33It's definitely murder.
04:35What about the female?
04:36Similar fractures to the skull.
04:38Probably same weapon, same killer.
04:40Although she wasn't so bad.
04:43Marching on the scene indicate
04:44that she probably didn't die right away.
04:45There's evidence she crawled across the ground
04:48to embrace her partner.
04:49Meaning she was left for dead.
04:52Her wedding ring.
04:56Buried alive.
05:04Sir.
05:07Found something here.
05:09Driver's licence.
05:12Peter Buckley.
05:18Buckley's used to live in Garsden.
05:19They were reported missing in 1984.
05:22The case is still open, unsolved.
05:24Who reported them missing?
05:25The council, when the rent arrears built up.
05:29Nobody from the community?
05:30What about the neighbours?
05:31There's no mention of it in the records.
05:34Typical.
05:35What do we know about?
05:37Buckley was a miner.
05:38He worked in a nearby pit.
05:40Not our mine.
05:40It was closed by then.
05:42Apparently the couple had big debts.
05:44And one night they just up sticks
05:45with all their worldly possessions
05:46never to be seen again.
05:48There must have been an investigation.
05:49There was.
05:51The report said their house was found
05:52practically empty
05:53and their car was missing.
05:55We'll need to decant
05:55whoever's living in the house now
05:57get forensics in.
05:58And I want a temporary base set up in Garsden.
06:00Sir.
06:01Sir.
06:02Sir.
06:04Sir.
06:14Maybe Hogan.
06:16Did I know you?
06:18I'm DCI Buck.
06:19This is DS Reid.
06:21What's up?
06:22A couple called Buckley.
06:24They disappeared from Garsden 24 years ago.
06:27You were the investigating officer.
06:28Wasn't it?
06:30Not how it works these days.
06:31Get the wee lasses to ask the questions.
06:36No, this is how it works.
06:43Now, you speak to us
06:44and you might just get another.
06:46Ooh, tough cookie.
06:48Why don't you tell me what you want to know?
06:50The Buckleys.
06:52What do you remember about them?
06:55Couple of chancers.
06:56Run away from their debts.
06:59Changed their name, I'll bet.
07:01Probably living down south somewhere
07:03and a lap of luxury.
07:05Good luck to them, I say.
07:07We just found their bodies
07:08and the old Garsden mine.
07:10How hard did you look for them, Davy?
07:13Look at my report.
07:14I did.
07:16I could smell the whiskey off it.
07:18Well, that's all you're getting.
07:21If you think I'm going to sit here
07:22and answer your daft questions
07:23about some lost family after 24 years,
07:27you're thicker than you look.
07:31Now, I think you owe me a large one.
07:34Large whiskey over here, please.
07:37Why did you call them a family, Davy?
07:39It was a baby, I think.
07:42Wasn't it?
07:42You tell us.
07:45A long time ago.
07:47I've got something in my head about a baby.
07:50But I can't really remember.
07:55Sorry.
07:58Did you buy all that?
07:59All what?
08:00The old soap routine.
08:02Routine?
08:03You seem pretty well soaked to me.
08:08We've checked in as far as the roof allows.
08:10No sign of any more bones.
08:12Do you think maybe this baby
08:13could have been buried in there?
08:14We'll excavate around where the bodies were found.
08:24Changed much?
08:26No, it looks much the same way as I remember.
08:29Less shops.
08:31Well, that used to be a butcher's and a baker's.
08:34How long since you left?
08:37I moved to be in my teens.
08:39Why'd you move?
08:42Jackie?
08:43This place is dying on its feet.
08:48So this is it.
08:49Our new base.
08:51You get a cappuccino's?
08:52I'll check out the night lights.
09:08Yeah.
09:09Looks like we missed the party.
09:12Birgit Pinion, Stuart.
09:29Excuse me.
09:30I'm Chief Inspector Burke.
09:32Are you a resident here?
09:33Theresa Davidson.
09:34I just left a few doors along.
09:37We're investigating the death of a couple
09:39who lived here in the early 80s.
09:40The Buckleys.
09:41Can you tell us anything about them?
09:42They just disappeared one night.
09:44Took off.
09:45But before that,
09:47what were they like?
09:49Quiet.
09:50Kept to themselves.
09:52I never really spoke to them.
09:53Only to say hello.
09:55And there's nothing else you can tell us?
09:57Not really.
09:59They seemed happy enough.
10:00Did they have a baby?
10:02A baby?
10:04I don't remember seeing any kids.
10:07All right, Mrs Davidson.
10:08Thanks for your help.
10:11Excuse me.
10:12Don't I know you from somewhere?
10:16No, don't think so.
10:18It's just your face is familiar.
10:21Theresa.
10:25Theresa.
10:26Theresa.
10:30Theresa.
10:35Oh, I remember them living there.
10:37He used to work up Toulson's pit.
10:40He gave us a tradesman.
10:41Mm-hmm.
10:41And what about their friends?
10:43Oh, I wouldn't know.
10:44Didn't really know them that well.
10:46Enemies?
10:47Sorry, I had really no idea.
10:50They just lived across the road from you, Mr Haddon.
10:53But they never said much.
10:55Never really talked to anybody.
10:56How long did they live there?
10:58Couple of years.
11:00What, in all that time?
11:01They never talked to anybody.
11:04No.
11:10We've been trying to reassure motorists
11:13there won't be a shortage
11:14unless they start panic buying.
11:17Politicians have been urging both sides
11:18to resume talks as soon as possible.
11:20Police are investigating the discovery
11:22of human remains
11:23in a disused mine at Garstdon
11:26in East Lanarkshire.
11:27The mine has been out of use
11:28since the mid-1970s.
11:30It's a...
11:31Police said the bodies are believed
11:34to be known for the minister
11:35and Helen Huxley
11:36who disappeared in 1984.
11:43Don't you go blabbing at a cop, Davidson.
11:45You're a dead man.
11:47You and your scabby wee family.
11:49I'll kill him!
11:50Don't worry, Paul.
11:51He's no worth it.
11:53You've had it, Paul, I'm telling you!
12:04Well, we spoke to three of the neighbours
12:05who remember the Buckley's living there.
12:08And that's it.
12:09No-one spoke to them, it seems.
12:11We're the same.
12:12Two different neighbours,
12:13nobody's got anything to say,
12:14nobody remembers anything about a baby.
12:16Well, you did say Hogan was too drunk
12:17to remember if there actually was a baby.
12:19How can this happen?
12:21A couple just disappear.
12:22Nobody notice.
12:23Nobody report it.
12:25We need to focus on what we know.
12:27Buckley was a miner.
12:28He must have had workmates.
12:30We need to find them.
12:33Sylvia, an idea who did this?
12:35Some kids, probably.
12:36Did you see them?
12:39What about you?
12:42Hi, Paul.
12:45We were watching telly.
12:47I never saw nothing.
12:49What do you remember about the Buckley's?
12:52They lived at the corner.
12:55And?
12:57And what?
12:57That's where they lived.
12:59You don't remember anything else about them?
13:01He was a miner.
13:02Worked up at Coulston.
13:04So what kind of man was he?
13:06Loud, quiet, happy, sad, what?
13:08I never really knew him that well.
13:11So somebody lives two doors along
13:12and you remember nothing about them?
13:15I'm sorry.
13:17I can't help you.
13:30Did you see the look in his eyes?
13:32I think these people are afraid to talk.
13:35Somebody put the window in as a warning.
13:37Which means they must know something.
13:46I've found some traces of what seems like old blood
13:48on the Leavenham floorboards.
13:50How old?
13:51I have to check DNA,
13:52but it's old enough to have belonged to the Buckley's.
14:10Mickey!
14:10Mickey!
14:11Mickey!
14:11Come on!
14:12Come on!
14:12Speedback time!
14:13Come on!
14:16I'll kill him!
14:19I'll handle this, Mickey.
14:22You just keep your head down.
14:28I'll get the DNA results processed as quickly as possible.
14:31Eh, similar than that, I hope.
14:33Who's going to step forward?
14:38Come on, somebody must know something about the Buckleys.
14:45Do you know this family deserves justice?
14:47And look at you.
14:48Jackie.
14:49Bunch of cowards, the lot of you.
14:57Look, I investigated the Buckleys' disappearance.
15:01I did it by the book.
15:02Reported what I found.
15:03They were logged as missing, end of story.
15:05Anything else I can help you with?
15:07Aye, but a few more details, like the unofficial version.
15:11Couple went missing, that's it.
15:13I did my job, no mystery.
15:15Oh, come on, Davey.
15:16Couple goes missing, there could be a baby involved.
15:19It's a big story.
15:20You want to tell me what's going on?
15:22I really can't stand the weakness of some folk.
15:25Weakness?
15:25I don't even want to talk about it.
15:27People are afraid to talk.
15:28It's hardly a sign of weakness.
15:29No, I say it is.
15:31You let yourself be threatened into saying nothing.
15:33I call that weak.
15:36This isn't about them, is it?
15:38Something happened to you here?
15:40It's not worth discussing.
15:41When you were young?
15:42Yeah, young and stupid, but it's my problem.
15:44I don't even know why I'm letting it bother me.
15:48Maybe it bothers you more than you think.
15:58When I was at school here, I was about 13.
16:02It was quite bright, so some of the girls resented it.
16:06You got picked on?
16:08Yeah, it was pretty bad.
16:11Until my dad got another job and we moved away.
16:14I can't imagine you letting yourself get bullied.
16:18There's nothing you can do about it when there's a gang of them.
16:23And your friends...
16:26They let you down.
16:28Well, your powers turned on you, no.
16:29They wanted to be part of the crowd.
16:34I look at the faces round here and I can still see that...
16:37that weakness.
16:48We're talking about the middle of the Great Miner Strike here.
16:51The front pages is where the war was being fought.
16:54The war?
16:54Scargill versus Thatcher.
16:56Miner versus Estate.
16:58Labour versus Tory.
17:00Miner does a runner.
17:01Who's bothered?
17:02Us.
17:03You.
17:04It was your job to be bothered.
17:05And it was.
17:06You've got to understand that communities like Garsden
17:09were at war with themselves.
17:11Miner against Miner.
17:12We were caught in the middle of that.
17:14You think that's why the Barclays did a runner?
17:16Because they were being threatened?
17:17Who knows?
17:19What, do you not ask?
17:20Speak to the neighbours?
17:21Who's going to speak to a copper?
17:23We were the ones forming the barrier at the pit gate.
17:26We were the enemy.
17:28Nobody was speaking to us then.
17:30Are they speaking to you now?
17:36So, imagine it back then.
17:44Go home, Mickey.
17:45Home?
17:47There's nothing else to say.
17:49I don't believe you.
17:50I'll never believe you.
17:52Will you just go home, please?
17:54Don't tell me to go home.
17:56Is everything all right?
18:00Nothing I can't handle.
18:02Who was that?
18:04Mickey Hood.
18:09It's Jackie Reid, isn't it?
18:12We used to play together when we were wee.
18:15On our bikes?
18:17Remember?
18:19Riding along the old road.
18:22I'm afraid my memory's just a wee bit coloured by what happened.
18:26You can't blame any of that in me.
18:28That was how it was.
18:29I didn't have a choice.
18:32No, we all have a choice, Theresa.
18:34Some of us just take the easy option.
18:37Aye, well.
18:38That was a long time ago now.
18:41No.
18:49Any more on this missing baby?
18:51Ellis excavated round the bodies.
18:52There was no sign of any of their bones.
18:54I spoke to the registrar.
18:56There were no babies registered to the Buckleys.
18:58And what about medical records?
19:00There were no records of Helen Buckley ever being pregnant.
19:03Well, if there is a baby, the chances are it's still in that mine.
19:05Well, Ellis is going to extend the search.
19:07Well, Hogan reckons the disappearance might have been something to do with a miners' strike.
19:11In what way?
19:12Well, communities were at war.
19:14Strikers fighting scabs, cops fighting strikers.
19:17Maybe Mr Buckley went back to work early.
19:19And so became a target for the Millicents.
19:22Stuart.
19:23I found three names.
19:24Guys from Garstown who had records from the time.
19:27Donnie Hood, Kenny Davidson and Chas Haddon.
19:30Yeah, I've already spoken to Davidson.
19:31He denies knowing the Buckleys.
19:33Yeah, Chas Haddon said exactly the same thing to me.
19:35Two of them were for breach of the peace.
19:37Only Chas Haddon was convicted of assault during the strike.
19:41Right.
19:42Let's have another word wheel.
19:46Look.
19:47I've already told the other officer.
19:49I never really knew the Buckleys.
19:50All I know is they did a runner during the strike.
19:53Why do you think that was, Mr Haddon?
19:55I've no idea.
19:56Nothing to do with the strike, then?
19:58I don't know what you mean.
19:59Oh, come on.
20:01You were throwing your weight about intimidating folk.
20:03No different from anybody else.
20:05Only you were convicted of assault.
20:09That was just bad luck.
20:11Look, that's what it was like then.
20:13Everybody was mad at the scabs.
20:16What about Mr Buckley?
20:18Was he a scab?
20:19I told you.
20:21I never knew Buckley.
20:22When did he go back to work?
20:23I don't know.
20:25Mr Haddon, he lived across the road.
20:27I never kept tabs on everybody.
20:29Look, I just got caught up in all that.
20:31Everybody did.
20:33There were violent times.
20:35Best left in the past.
20:37I never had to go back to life.
20:40Come on.
20:55She would be like.
20:56Go back to work.
21:00Come on.
21:01Come on.
21:09Zoom in on the guy at the back with the beard.
21:15Okay, bring out the mug shots of three minors.
21:21Chas Haddon.
21:24What about Chas Haddon?
21:26He's in a group shot at Peter Buckley's wedding.
21:31Mr. Haddon denied knowing the Buckley's.
22:02He's in a group shot at Peter Buckley's wedding.
22:07Oh, damn it.
22:11Let's go.
22:15Ooh.
22:26What?
22:27Whoa.
22:31the head was nearly severed with a sharp spade i'd say forced down onto the throat piercing
22:36almost all the way through nasty it's possible somebody was watching us when we went to hadden's
22:41place yesterday yeah killed to shut him up can we identify anybody else in this photo not directly
22:47the photograph was taken nearly 30 years ago people are going to look a lot different now
22:51we need to follow up on the other militant miners the sun to get on here connects them to all
22:56of
22:59this when did you last see chas hadn't hadn't i see him all the time he only lives across the
23:06road
23:07just like the buckley's hi well has hadn't gone missing there we were talking to him yesterday
23:14about the miners strike what about it now you and him and donnie hood were involved in some
23:20intimidation i was young then young and stupid did you ever intimidate the buckley's no but you
23:30wouldn't hadden were mates right at one time i suppose what when you fell out i grew up and they
23:38didn't i just i changed i realized that all this fighting amongst ourselves it was just stupid
23:47duh there's cops at hadn't's what's happened to chas i've seen he's been killed
23:54is that right he was found dead this morning what happened they're saying he's been murdered
24:02and you think i had something to do with it did you that's ridiculous i think we've said enough
24:10it's the hood store you want to go not on why is that paul because they're the cause of any
24:14trouble around here did they throw a brick through your window paul
24:27i believe you're friends with chas hadn't what if i am when did you last see him
24:35i had a few bites with him a couple of days ago hey what's up he was found dead this
24:39morning
24:42what happened somebody killed him davidson mickey why'd you say that they never got on nobody likes
24:52the davidsons
24:55remember they were getting their own back for what just being disliked i thought they were on your
25:00side during the minor strike yeah they were till they went back early mickey don't you think the
25:06world would be a better place if you just shut up now and again
25:14i've told you all we know what is it with this community it's like the old wounds are passed on
25:19from father to son and his sons are even more bitter but could one of these boys have killed hadden
25:26the buckley's disappeared near 30 years ago the day after we find their bodies hadden gets murdered
25:31yeah it has to have some connection with the past hadden was a militant striker he hated davidson
25:36for going back to work early well if he'd been called a scab for all these years maybe he finally
25:42snapped i think we have to treat him as a suspect years of intimidation is a pretty strong motive for
25:47revenge we should speak to theresa davidson i think she's probably less entrenched in this whole mining thing
25:56they're fighting in the bloody street
26:05come on mickey
26:12paul paul stop it
26:16that's enough i've told you before you're not just sitting to their level you leave it mickey
26:22they have to pay a lot of them why why do they have to pay how could you ever understand
26:28all right folks concert's over back to your homes here are you with me now
26:40so what's going on between you and the davidson's they deserve everything they get
26:44do you want to tell me why thank you

27:07why not just move away somewhere else mom died five years ago i couldn't leave my dad and this is
27:13all
27:13the davidson's fault and others like them betrayed us betrayed their class oh history and politics and
27:22you really believe all this i believe in my community enough to kill for it we've never been
27:29liked as far back as i can remember what the scab thing nine months my dad was in strike
27:39he went back because i didn't have any shoes he had no choice yeah i'm sure
27:46a place like guards then it doesn't go away all the way through school all i ever got was scab
27:51this
27:52scab that i've done enough nobody would blame you for sticking up for yourself paul
27:58arseholes like hood i've done enough of them what about chas hadn't what about him he put your windows
28:05in didn't he no that was hood i hardly knew hadn't he never came anywhere near us what did your
28:13dad think
28:13about you fighting back he's a coward just turns the other cheek
28:23well to hell with that this is stopping right here right now and how are you going to do that
28:30paul
28:32by killing them all i never killed anybody you and paul must be about the same age what about it
28:41well it's just you can't really blame him for what happened back in the strike
28:46like father like son does that also apply to you
28:56only i reckon you've got a wee bit more going on upstairs than your dad
29:00changes nothing you're going to spend the rest of your life fighting an old war

29:29an excuse for what for doing nothing with your life
29:36thanks margaret
29:40the thing is both the davidsons father and son have a motive for killing haddon i mean a lifetime of
29:46aggravation could tip anyone over the edge yeah but why now this has got to be connected in some
29:51way to the buckley's the discovery of their bodies was some kind of catalyst this missing baby let's just
29:56say it wasn't a rumor that the buckley's had a child what age would it be now if it was

31:04The Buckley's wedding.
31:07There's a woman at the side.
31:10That's you.
31:13Isn't it?
31:16Teresa.
31:22Tell me what happened to the Buckley's.
31:29You were at the wedding.
31:31You were their friend.
31:40Do you remember when we were wee, and we were all playing up at Cantiloch, and those girls
31:48grabbed me and threw me into the water?
31:52And one of them was pushing my head down.
31:56And I remember gasping for air and looking up.
32:00And you were just standing there, watching.
32:07We were only kids.
32:12I thought you might have changed.
32:16I thought you might have grown up.
32:20I can't.
32:22I can't say anything.
32:25He'd kill me if I said anything.
32:27Who would kill you?
32:29Your husband?
32:33Just let it be.
32:35Please.
32:37Teresa, I need to know about the Buckley's.
32:41What?
32:49No.
32:50No.
32:50I can't.
32:51I can't.
32:53Please don't give me the door.
32:55Don't give me the keys.
32:57No!
33:26Puckley went back after six months.
33:32Three months before Kenny.
33:38They came in for some terrible treatment.
33:44I even felt they deserved it.
33:48Till it was my turn.
33:53Who attacked the Buckleys?
33:58Theresa.
34:01What?
34:02The Buckleys.
34:04Who attacked them?
34:07The usual four.
34:11It was always the same four.
34:15Chas Haddon.
34:16Tony Hood.
34:20Walter Whelan.
34:24And my husband.
34:27Whelan.
34:32He died about a year ago.
34:34His son owns the old mine.
34:38How are those four?
34:40Tony Hood's the only one left alive.
34:58The place is wrecked.
34:59There's nobody here.
35:00No sign or anything.
35:01His car's gone.
35:02I've got to find Hood.
35:04I'll get a bulletin out.
35:06You two talk to young Whelan.
35:07See what he knows about this.
35:14Your father was involved in intimidating the Buckleys.
35:17And then the Buckleys end up dead in his land.
35:19He got this land long after the Buckleys died.
35:22Four men attacked the Buckleys.
35:23Two of them have been murdered.
35:24And I think you know something about it.
35:26Me?
35:26How did your dad die?
35:28Maybe his mates knew something about it.
35:30Maybe that's why you're paying them back.
35:32Now wait a minute.
35:32This has nothing to do with me.
35:34He's better put us straight, Mr Whelan,
35:35before we jump to any more conclusions.
35:40Just before my dad died, the guilt got the better of him.
35:44He told me everything.
35:46I was there that night.
35:50Worst night of my life.
35:55The men gathered outside the Buckleys.
35:59Kenny said the idea was to scare them.
36:02That was all.
36:05It's okay.
36:07Just stay in the bedroom with the baby.
36:09They'll go away.
36:17I was part of it.
36:20I just stood there watching.
36:23Scab! Scab! Scab! Scab! Scab! Scab! Scab!
36:28That's it!
36:29Don't go out there.
36:30I'll talk to them.
36:31They'll maybe leave.
36:32No, Peter. No!
36:33It'll be okay.
36:39You only meant to beat them up.
36:43But it went too far.
36:44No, no!
36:45Scam! Scam! Scam! Scam! Scam! Scam! Scam! Scam!
36:53Scam! Scam! Scam!
37:07They had to silence him?
37:10And they did.
37:14They got rid of the car in Cantiloch.
37:18Got a hold of a van.
37:21Decanted all their stuff into it.
37:25They took the dead bodies and all the stuff up to the Gersten mine.
37:31One dead body.
37:36What?
37:38Helen Buckley was still alive when they closed up the mine.
37:41She died holding her husband in her arms.
37:44Oh, my God.
37:59What about the baby's reason?
38:04I'm sorry.
38:07I'm so sorry.
38:13Tell me about the baby.
38:18They drew a line at killing a baby.
38:23Besides, the Hoods were childless.
38:26So they took the boy and brought him up as their own.
38:32So you're saying that Mickey Hood was the Buckley's baby?
38:38The baby was only a few weeks old.
38:42The Buckley's hadn't got round to registering them yet.
38:46So the Hoods registered them as a home birth in their name.
38:53They moved away for a while to another town.
38:57They came back when Mickey was older.
39:01And he never knew.
39:07Yesterday.
39:11I told him he was the son of a scab.
39:16I just thought it would put a stop to things.
39:18Why did you tell him after all this time?
39:21I don't know.
39:23I don't know.
39:27I just thought I would do things right for once.
39:33Look what...
39:38So you knew the Buckley's bodies were in the mine?
39:41It was so long ago, I didn't think it mattered anymore.
39:43Well, why not come to us after your father died?
39:45I wanted to keep my dad's name out of it.
39:47Anyway, he'd already tried to confess.
39:49What do you mean?
39:51About five years after it happened,
39:52he went and confessed to a detective.
39:54A detective?
39:55Do you have a name?
39:56Oh, I can't remember.
39:57Some drunk cop.
39:58Hogan?
39:59Aye.
40:00Aye, Hogan told him it was best just left alone,
40:02just to let it all go.
40:03Scared he might get held up for messing up the investigation.
40:06Robbie, isn't that the Hood's car?
40:18Let's go on to the boss.
40:25You killed my real dad, didn't you?
40:27Didn't you?
40:28I'm sorry.
40:30I'm sorry.
40:32Was he smart?
40:35Smart and good-looking.
40:38And she was beautiful, is that right?
40:42And here's me.
40:44Look at me!
40:47Nothing but an ugly, stupid, wee thug.
40:50That's what you made me.
40:52No.
40:55I'm sorry, Mickey.
40:57Mickey?
40:58No.
41:00Now, don't even think about coming anywhere near us, okay?
41:03Okay.
41:05I won't.
41:07But just be calm.
41:10Be calm?
41:12Of course.
41:14Be calm.
41:16My whole life gone, just like that.
41:18But be calm.
41:19Brought up to be a thug by him.
41:21But be calm!
41:23It'll be okay, will it?
41:25Is that what you're going to tell me?
41:26It'll all be okay?
41:28No, son.
41:29It's too late for that.
41:30You killed two people.
41:31I'm sorry.
41:32Was that wrong?
41:33Did I have a choice?
41:36Son of a scab.
41:37That's me.
41:38No.
41:40You were weeks old.
41:43Donny brought you up.
41:44He's your dad.
41:45He killed my real dad.
41:48You can't understand.
41:50It was the times.
41:53They hate.
41:54Not good enough.
41:55We were right.
41:58But what we did was wrong.
42:01Come on, Mickey.
42:02You told me you cared about your dad.
42:05You stayed in Garstin because of him.
42:09No.
42:11No.
42:13Maybe if this bastard had left my dad alone,
42:16my real dad,
42:17things would be different.
42:19I'd be different.
42:20I wouldn't be a killer
42:21and we could all go home.
42:24I wish I cared.
42:26I really do.
42:29But I just wasn't made that way.
42:40I can't.
42:45I'm sorry, so...
42:48I'm sorry, so...
42:51I'm sorry, so...
42:53I'm sorry.
43:13Helen Buckley's wedding ring.
43:16I thought you'd like to make sure
43:17it's with them
43:17when they're properly laid to rest.
43:22You're pretty smart
43:23for a wee lassie.
43:28I'm sorry, so...
43:30I'm sorry, so...
43:31I'm sorry, so...
43:32I'm sorry, so...
43:33I'm sorry, so...
43:34I'm sorry, so...
43:34I'm sorry, so...
43:34I'm sorry, so...
