REPORTER [voice] : The torturers, like almost everybody else we came across during our investigations, seem to form a kind of clique, a covert subculture answerable to nobody. Though our source claimed there was no reason for him to be tortured, he told us that his captors took an almost perverse pride in their equipment. The picture is becoming clear. The hardware is an end to itself Pieces of top-of-the-range torture and surveillance technology are considered to be objects of veneration by many of these people. [Scene change. We see more hidden-camera footage from COPEX. Oddly enough, the point of view seems to be quite low to the ground, as if we were seeing the exhibition through - say - the eyes of a dog. The footage shows us a side office at COPEX, where four people are assembled. One of the people is clearly the reporter, in a blonde wig and business suit. Another has had his face blanked out. Of the remaining two, one is a young man with spiky black hair, and the other is a tall, powerful-looking dark-skinned man.] REPORTER [voice]: This man calls himself Guest. Nothing is known about his true identity, and no official body has ever questioned his presence in Britain. Yet, when Guest offered to sell high-level security equipment to the UN, the UN entered into negotiations with him, despite his lack of credentials. And we’ve learned that, in addition to the UN, Guest has attempted to sell merchandise to both Saudi Arabia and to Peter Morgan’s company in London. [We see Guest shake the hand of the blanked-out man.] REPORTER [voice] : We may never know exactly who Guest is, or where he comes from. The important thing to remember is that nobody seems to care. Provided he can uphold his part of the bargain, his past history is irrelevant. These are the rules by which the techno-cults function. [Back to the witness in silhouette.] INTERVIEWER: Tell us about Cold. WITNESS [pauses] : I don’t want to have to think about that. INTERVIEWER: Can you tell us what it was? WITNESS: I don’t know. Nobody did, did they? Some stuff Guest’s people were trying to sell. It was like. . . like it was everything to them. Like they worshipped it or something. 137
