It permits us to hold
suspected terrorists...

:52:05
for a period of up to seven days.
:52:08
Quite extraordinary powers
in a democracy.

:52:10
Quite difficult, I would think for
the police to resist the temptation...

:52:13
- to deal forcibly with people.
- Objection.

:52:15
People they suspect of the biggest
bombing campaign on British mainland...

:52:18
- since the Second World War.
- Objection. My lord, I really must--

:52:21
- Get to the point!
- Now, this bombing campaign...

:52:25
struck deep into the British people's
sense of security.

:52:29
The people looked to you,
Inspector, to find those responsible.

:52:32
Yes.
:52:34
You must have been under
the most intense pressure.

:52:36
That's my job.
:52:37
Now, all of the defendants claim--
:52:40
including young Patrick Maguire,
aged just 14--

:52:44
Patrick,
would you stand up, please?

:52:48
Thank you.
All of the defendants claim...

:52:50
that they were subjected to physical and
mental abuse while in police custody.

:52:56
They were never harmed
in any way.

:52:59
He's fucking lying!
They beat the shite out of us!

:53:03
Silence!
:53:07
Please believe us!
They beat us!

:53:10
Just be quiet.
:53:11
Sit them down!
:53:13
Silence in the court!
:53:18
Mr. Conlon says...
:53:20
that you pulled him by the hair
and squeezed his testicles.

:53:23
I never even spoke to Mr. Conlon.
:53:26
I hope you burn in hell, Dixon.
:53:28
Silence!
:53:30
Mr. Hill says the police sat astride him
and put a gun in his mouth.

:53:35
There was no pressure of any kind.
:53:37
You can go and fuck yourself,
you lying fucking bastard!

:53:40
Order! Order in court!
:53:41
Inspector, in the case
of the four main defendants...

:53:45
you have no corroborating evidence
of any kind.

:53:47
I have the confessions of our obvious
terrorists. What more do you want?

:53:50
Well, nitroglycerine
is a highly toxic substance.

:53:54
It's when the substance
to be tested--

:53:56
After a few weeks,
we were bored out of our minds--

:53:58
just messed around
and that there.
