He Was the IRA's Executioner - Did Britain Protect a Killer?

A cold August recording captures a man who may have been both the IRA's feared Internal Security boss and a paid British agent - a man allegedly paid about £80,000 a year and called "the golden egg." If he ran the Nutting Squad that interrogated and executed suspected informers, how many lives were lost because of what he revealed or concealed?

In this episode, we chart the life and alleged double role of Freddie Scappaticci, from his January 12, 1946 birth in the Markets area of Belfast to the car park tape at the Culloden Hotel on August 26, 1993, and the findings of Operation Kenova: did his handlers value intelligence over innocent lives?
