00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:24,Guess who?

00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,Billy!

00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,It's me, Frank, your kid brother.

00:00:34,340 --> 00:00:35,Billy!

00:00:36,140 --> 00:00:37,You always did like surprises.

00:00:59,470 --> 00:01:05,If at any point in the next hour either
of you feel stress, Bob, Dave, I want

00:01:05,330 --> 00:01:07,you to breathe in through your nose.

00:01:09,270 --> 00:01:11,Push your tummy right down into your
bottom.

00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:14,Hello, stress.

00:01:15,090 --> 00:01:16,Goodbye, stress.

00:01:16,410 --> 00:01:17,OK?

00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:20,Hello, stress.

00:01:22,990 --> 00:01:24,Goodbye, stress.

00:01:25,050 --> 00:01:26,That's good.

00:01:26,270 --> 00:01:28,And remember, I...

00:01:29,020 --> 00:01:31,care. So don't fight me.

00:01:31,460 --> 00:01:32,Let's get started.

00:01:34,860 --> 00:01:41,October 2nd, 11 .15am. I'm Tom Reid, the
Metropolitan Police Trauma Counsellor,

00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,and this is taped evidence for the
inquiry into the disappearance of

00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,Superintendent Frank Cotton.

00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:54,Let's kick off with the night it all
started. The night a routine D Division

00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:58,stakeout went wrong and suspected armed
robber William Connors.

00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,Was shot.

00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:00,Bob.

00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,Well, I didn't actually see anything.

00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:08,I had my eyes closed.

00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,I always close my eyes and stick my
fingers in my ears when there's guns

00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:14,off.

00:02:14,380 --> 00:02:16,I've g***t this thing about big bangs.

00:02:17,820 --> 00:02:21,Someone threw a firework into my pram
when I was a baby.

00:02:21,940 --> 00:02:22,Oh, no.

00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:25,I wouldn't mind, but it was my mum who
threw it.

00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:29,Dave, what about you?

00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,Well, it's all a bit of a blank, really.
It was dark.

00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:38,It was up a tree.

00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,It was a plum tree.

00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,And afterwards I was a bit numb.

00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,After I'd spent two hours sitting on a
couple of squashed plums.

00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,Well, as someone who was involved in
the...

00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,shooting incident.

00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,How did you feel when you were told that
it was you two who were going to have

00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:07,to tell William Connor's mother that her
son had been killed?

00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,I mean, I'm sort of guessing that it
wasn't something you really wanted to

00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:13,was it? No, no.

00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,We're partners.

00:03:16,940 --> 00:03:19,We like to be mature about these things.

00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,Well, I ain't doing it.

00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:24,The paper is a stone.

00:03:25,620 --> 00:03:29,Right. Loser tells her he's dead, winner
gets the chipset. No arguments.

00:03:29,460 --> 00:03:32,No better three. No crossing your
fingers behind your back. Ready?

00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:36,One, two, three, scissors.

00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,Now what?

00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,Let's do it again.

00:03:40,140 --> 00:03:42,One, two, three, scissors.

00:03:43,580 --> 00:03:49,One, two, three, scissors. Will you stop
doing scissors?

00:03:49,780 --> 00:03:51,Will you stop doing scissors?

00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:55,Stupid! paper or something. If I do
paper, you'll do scissors and then I've

00:03:55,620 --> 00:03:56,it. I won't do scissors, I promise.

00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,All right, I won't do scissors.

00:03:58,700 --> 00:03:59,OK?

00:04:00,780 --> 00:04:02,One, two, three, scissors!

00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:05,I say, hello, Mrs Cox.

00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:09,And then you say, what are you going to
do with your spare room? She says, I

00:04:09,380 --> 00:04:12,haven't g***t a spare room. Then we both
say, you have now, your son's dead.

00:04:14,180 --> 00:04:15,How long has it been since you did
anything like this?

00:04:16,660 --> 00:04:18,Not since I was in uniform.

00:04:18,420 --> 00:04:20,I was never very good at breaking bad
news.

00:04:21,579 --> 00:04:25,Just shouting, your dad dead, through
the letterbox and running off. G***t me

00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:26,hot water more than once.

00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,Well, the coldness of this, she's g***t a
weak heart as well.

00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,So perhaps we ought to break it to her a
bit more gently.

00:04:33,220 --> 00:04:34,Well, he was an armed robber.

00:04:34,860 --> 00:04:37,She must have expected something like
this to happen someday.

00:04:38,060 --> 00:04:40,Hey, hey, that's good. That's good.

00:04:40,660 --> 00:04:42,How about we start off something like
this?

00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:48,Mrs Connors, as you know, your son was
involved in a very dangerous profession.

00:04:48,620 --> 00:04:50,The most dangerous profession in the
world.

00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,Well, apart from coal miner and circus
lion tamer.

00:04:55,340 --> 00:04:56,That's good.

00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,That's very good.

00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:00,Bizarre, but good. Even better.

00:05:01,380 --> 00:05:02,OK, what have we g***t?

00:05:02,940 --> 00:05:04,Mrs Connors, hello!

00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:09,Did you know that... Since the demise of
the British coal industry... And since

00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,circuses have, by and large, stopped
featuring large animals like lions...

00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:14,Except in places like Poland.

00:05:14,740 --> 00:05:18,Since then, armed robbery is
officially... The most...

00:05:19,580 --> 00:05:21,Dangerous profession in the world?

00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:25,No, in Britain. Sounds like we've done
our own work. Then while she ponders

00:05:25,340 --> 00:05:27,fact, we hit her with a big one.

00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:29,No wonder your son's dead.

00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,In the end, we decided to stick to
procedure.

00:05:33,260 --> 00:05:37,Gain entry, make polite chit -chat, and
then subtly find a way to introduce the

00:05:37,580 --> 00:05:38,topic of sudden death.

00:05:39,220 --> 00:05:40,Whatever you do, don't laugh.

00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,When we saw how frail she was, we knew
we couldn't tell her we were coppers

00:05:46,180 --> 00:05:47,straight away.

00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,So, who are you?

00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,Us?

00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:52,Me and him?

00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,Where?

00:05:54,580 --> 00:05:55,From the council.

00:05:56,060 --> 00:05:57,The council?

00:05:57,780 --> 00:06:00,Oh, have you come about the rat?

00:06:01,540 --> 00:06:02,Yes.

00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,We've come about the rat.

00:06:04,820 --> 00:06:06,It's about bloody time.

00:06:06,620 --> 00:06:10,He's the size of a pony. He comes up
through the rubbish chute straight into

00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,kitchen.

00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,Come here and I'll show you his teeth
mark on the... Wait, Mrs Connors.

00:06:18,250 --> 00:06:24,Did you know that officially being a rat
is the most

00:06:24,330 --> 00:06:26,dangerous animal to be?

00:06:28,110 --> 00:06:33,So it is little wonder, then, that the
rat is dead.

00:06:34,030 --> 00:06:35,Dead? Yes.

00:06:36,430 --> 00:06:39,Dead. We shot him last night.

00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:43,You killed him? Oh, that's the most
marvellous news.

00:06:44,210 --> 00:06:46,Wait. Wait, Mrs Connors.

00:06:46,970 --> 00:06:48,That may be good news for you.

00:06:52,930 --> 00:06:54,But what about the rat's mother?

00:06:55,510 --> 00:07:02,You see, Mommy Rat is sitting in her
cosy council

00:07:02,370 --> 00:07:08,flat when suddenly, knock, knock, it's
two glum -looking ferrets from the

00:07:08,830 --> 00:07:09,Riverbank Council.

00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:15,They've come to tell her that her
little... William Rat...

00:07:15,610 --> 00:07:20,has been shot dead in a back garden in a
course of investigation into a series

00:07:20,970 --> 00:07:22,of post office robberies.

00:07:24,490 --> 00:07:25,Hello, Mary.

00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:27,I'm sorry, the front door was open.

00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:29,Father, what are you doing here?

00:07:30,230 --> 00:07:31,I just heard.

00:07:31,390 --> 00:07:32,I can walk straight away.

00:07:34,330 --> 00:07:36,Did you tell her the news?

00:07:36,870 --> 00:07:39,Indeed they did, Father. Isn't it
wonderful?

00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,I know he was one of God's creatures,
Father, but I was sick and tired of

00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,clearing up his droppings.

00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,I think we'll leave this in your capable
hands, Father. Come on, Bob.

00:07:57,740 --> 00:07:58,Yeah.

00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:00,Like we said.

00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,We stuck to procedure.

00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,Did it by the book.

00:08:04,540 --> 00:08:09,Hey, you know, for two guys not trained
in trauma therapy, well,...
