- Cobra at 8:00. Education Secretary at 9:00,
- Foreign Secretary after.
- 2
- 00:01:08,169 --> 00:01:10,464
- Then to Leicester, factory visit, lunch.
- 3
- 00:01:10,547 --> 00:01:12,591
- Press conference. Back to London.
- The House.
- 4
- 00:01:12,674 --> 00:01:15,386
- I'm not doing the backbenchers.
- They don't interest me. Anthea can do them.
- 5
- 00:01:15,468 --> 00:01:17,011
- - Sir, you agreed.
- - I'm not doing it.
- 6
- 00:01:31,610 --> 00:01:34,779
- 6:30, French President. Reception.
- Dinner. Bi-lateral talks.
- 7
- 00:01:34,862 --> 00:01:36,864
- - And it's your mother's birthday.
- - OK, and she gets...
- 8
- 00:01:36,948 --> 00:01:39,117
- - A handbag. It's very nice. I've seen it.
- - All right.
- 9
- 00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:42,203
- - Oh, I was promised news of Worricker.
- - None.
- 10
- 00:02:11,942 --> 00:02:13,109
- I heard you come in.
- 11
- 00:02:13,443 --> 00:02:15,279
- - Are you all right?
- - Yeah, I'm fine.
- 12
- 00:02:15,362 --> 00:02:17,238
- - How was it?
- - Pretty brilliant.
- 13
- 00:02:17,322 --> 00:02:19,407
- - I was brilliant, I mean.
- - And them?
- 14
- 00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:23,037
- - Yes. They responded brilliantly.
- - Good.
- 15
- 00:02:23,119 --> 00:02:24,203
- I'm glad you're back.
- 16
- 00:02:27,249 --> 00:02:28,708
- Let's go to bed.
- 17
- 00:02:33,714 --> 00:02:35,632
- - Morning.
- - Prime Minister.
- 18
- 00:02:42,681 --> 00:02:45,016
- Express, There was some trouble in Kiev.
- 19
- 00:02:45,099 --> 00:02:48,519
- Independent, "Deputy Prime Minister's
- husband on bribery charges."
- 20
- 00:02:49,230 --> 00:02:51,982
- The Sun, "Billy Whizz does a runner."
- 21
- 00:02:52,066 --> 00:02:54,317
- "Deputy PM's man flees questions."
- 22
- 00:02:55,611 --> 00:02:59,114
- Times, "Catcheside faces
- Kiev bribery allegations."
- 23
- 00:03:00,281 --> 00:03:05,328
- Guardian, "Anthea Catcheside's
- husband accused by Kiev."
- 24
- 00:04:19,778 --> 00:04:21,614
- What will the PM
- think about the backhanders?
- 25
- 00:04:21,655 --> 00:04:23,615
- And is it true
- your wife is planning to resign?
- 26
- 00:04:27,660 --> 00:04:30,122
- - You're up.
- - Yes.
- 27
- 00:04:30,206 --> 00:04:32,498
- - I'm surprised. I left you sleeping.
- - Hmm.
- 28
- 00:04:33,458 --> 00:04:34,668
- Here...
- 29
- 00:04:36,629 --> 00:04:40,341
- - We could make coffee, you know.
- - I never make coffee, I buy it.
- 30
- 00:04:40,424 --> 00:04:41,967
- Hmm. I've noticed.
- 31
- 00:04:44,177 --> 00:04:45,803
- It's better. I see more.
- 32
- 00:06:38,417 --> 00:06:41,044
- I'm sorry, Prime Minister,
- it's my fault, I overlooked this.
- 33
- 00:06:41,128 --> 00:06:42,378
- Yes?
- 34
- 00:06:42,463 --> 00:06:44,048
- - It's in The Independent.
- - Well?
- 35
- 00:06:44,130 --> 00:06:45,340
- It's about The Bridge.
- 36
- 00:06:45,424 --> 00:06:48,760
- It's strangely worded, but it's asking
- where the financing comes from.
- 37
- 00:06:48,844 --> 00:06:50,845
- - Is Stirling Rogers mentioned?
- - He is.
- 38
- 00:06:51,721 --> 00:06:53,556
- - And the Americans?
- - Yes.
- 39
- 00:06:55,934 --> 00:06:59,354
- It's suggesting you might be preparing
- to move out of Downing Street.
- 40
- 00:06:59,438 --> 00:07:00,813
- Well, I'm not.
- 41
- 00:07:08,197 --> 00:07:10,823
- - So?
- - So, what shall I say?
- 42
- 00:07:10,908 --> 00:07:13,660
- Well, we say nothing.
- If we go near the fire, we feed it.
- 43
- 00:07:13,744 --> 00:07:16,080
- If we ignore it, it dies.
- That's what I've learnt.
- 44
- 00:07:16,162 --> 00:07:18,998
- In this case?
- In this case specifically?
- 45
- 00:07:19,083 --> 00:07:21,084
- In this case as others.
- 46
- 00:07:23,336 --> 00:07:25,380
- By the way, what's the journalist's name?
- 47
- 00:07:34,849 --> 00:07:37,642
- And when will she be back in town
- do you think?
- 48
- 00:07:41,146 --> 00:07:43,357
- Allegra, how are you getting on?
- 49
- 00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:44,817
- This little story of yours.
- 50
- 00:07:44,941 --> 00:07:46,360
- Where's it come from?
- 51
- 00:07:47,485 --> 00:07:48,945
- I see. You're not saying anything.
- 52
- 00:07:49,029 --> 00:07:51,070
- Well, when we get in
- court, will it stand up?
- 53
- 00:07:51,097 --> 00:07:51,850
- Let's hope so.
- 54
- 00:07:52,908 --> 00:07:54,450
- You've run it very small.
- 55
- 00:07:54,535 --> 00:07:56,411
- That's not me, that's editorial.
- 56
- 00:07:57,329 --> 00:07:58,372
- OK.
- 57
- 00:08:08,464 --> 00:08:09,550
- Well, of all people.
- 58
- 00:08:10,383 --> 00:08:12,176
- I thought you weren't answering your phone.
- 59
- 00:08:12,261 --> 00:08:14,013
- I saw who it was.
- 60
- 00:08:14,221 --> 00:08:16,098
- Is there somewhere you
- can go to be private?
- 61
- 00:08:16,681 --> 00:08:19,017
- You're crazy. Have you read the papers?
- 62
- 00:08:19,268 --> 00:08:20,728
- Obviously.
- 63
- 00:08:20,810 --> 00:08:25,148
- Well, there is no private. There hasn't
- been private for getting on for a month.
- 64
- 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,611
- I need to see you.
- 65
- 00:08:31,279 --> 00:08:32,656
- All right.
- 66
- 00:08:45,376 --> 00:08:46,419
- Hello.
- 67
- 00:08:47,087 --> 00:08:49,381
- Rollo, bad news I'm afraid,
- we've had to move on.
- 68
- 00:08:49,547 --> 00:08:51,285
- Again? What is this?
- Grand Tour of Europe?
- 69
- 00:08:51,312 --> 00:08:52,201
- They're on to us.
- 70
- 00:08:52,343 --> 00:08:53,260
- -Who? How do you know?
- 71
- 00:08:53,274 --> 00:08:55,205
- - Because I recognised a
- jogger in Heidelberg.
- 72
- 00:08:55,261 --> 00:08:56,931
- I actually recruited her five years ago.
- 73
- 00:08:57,515 --> 00:08:58,849
- They don't get any cleverer, do they?
- 74
- 00:08:58,932 --> 00:09:02,019
- No, but we've all done worse things
- in our time. Or I have.
- 75
- 00:09:02,186 --> 00:09:04,161
- - Rollo, I need to know,
- is the item in print?
- 76
- 00:09:04,188 --> 00:09:05,089
- - Yeah, this morning.
- 77
- 00:09:05,147 --> 00:09:06,856
- - Vague?
- - Suitably.
- 78
- 00:09:07,148 --> 00:09:09,400
- - Any reaction?
- - Not yet. Too early.
- 79
- 00:09:09,777 --> 00:09:14,155
- Never underestimate the British
- journalist's ability to miss a good story.
- 80
- 00:09:14,572 --> 00:09:16,325
- Rollo, we need to get going.
- This is feeling urgent.
- 81
- 00:09:16,407 --> 00:09:17,492
- Can you come out and see me?
- 82
- 00:09:17,575 --> 00:09:18,786
- - I don't think so.
- - Why not?
- 83
- 00:09:18,953 --> 00:09:21,038
- Because I've now got an admirer of my own.
- 84
- 00:09:21,204 --> 00:09:22,873
- - Anyone we know?
- - Well, my impression is,
- 85
- 00:09:22,914 --> 00:09:26,834
- the whole service is working to one remit,
- "Find Johnny Worricker".
- 86
- 00:09:28,378 --> 00:09:30,381
- Let me know as soon as we get a reaction.
- 87
- 00:09:30,463 --> 00:09:33,968
- Oh, don't worry. It may take time,
- but I'll bet the farm he's going to jump.
- 88
- 00:09:35,636 --> 00:09:37,637
- - Morning everyone.
- - Morning.
- 89
- 00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:39,931
- Morning.
- 90
- 00:09:48,064 --> 00:09:49,440
- I don't believe this.
- 91
- 00:09:49,525 --> 00:09:51,694
- - You told me that we had a deal.
- - We did have a deal.
- 92
- 00:09:51,776 --> 00:09:53,278
- And?
- 93
- 00:09:53,362 --> 00:09:55,415
- Those friends of yours paid
- back two hundred million.
- 94
- 00:09:55,442 --> 00:09:56,391
- That's what you told me.
- 95
- 00:09:56,448 --> 00:09:57,699
- It's true. To the CIA.
- 96
- 00:09:57,782 --> 00:09:59,909
- And in return we were promised
- the end of the story.
- 97
- 00:10:00,702 --> 00:10:02,328
- And we know who's behind this, hmm?
- 98
- 00:10:02,412 --> 00:10:03,664
- Worricker.
- 99
- 00:10:03,747 --> 00:10:04,832
- He's a shit.
- 100
- 00:10:04,998 --> 00:10:07,251
- Alec, think of it his way.
- He's trapped.
- 101
- 00:10:07,417 --> 00:10:10,211
- They're both trapped, the two of them.
- Him and her. They're panicking.
- 102
- 00:10:10,295 --> 00:10:12,505
- They can't live in exile
- for the rest of their lives.
- 103
- 00:10:12,590 --> 00:10:14,550
- I have to deal with all
- sorts of people, truly,
- 104
- 00:10:14,577 --> 00:10:16,578
- people, I can't even begin
- to describe to you...
- 105
- 00:10:16,676 --> 00:10:18,553
- - I'm sure.
- - All right, fair enough, that's the job.
- 106
- 00:10:18,636 --> 00:10:20,890
- It costs me nothing, I can
- do it in my sleep. Honestly.
- 107
- 00:10:20,972 --> 00:10:24,434
- But, I demand one thing,
- people have to stick to their word.
- 108
- 00:10:25,727 --> 00:10:27,980
- What's he up to? What does he want?
- 109
- 00:10:28,063 --> 00:10:30,106
- And this has happened before.
- 110
- 00:10:30,191 --> 00:10:32,401
- He was meant to hand back that file.
- 111
- 00:10:32,484 --> 00:10:34,820
- He went back on his promise.
- 112
- 00:10:34,904 --> 00:10:37,489
- And now, here we are, he's done it again.
- 113
- 00:10:37,615 --> 00:10:38,907
- But you don't actually know that.
- 114
- 00:10:38,991 --> 00:10:40,576
- Oh, you think this item
- could be coincidence?
- 115
- 00:10:40,658 --> 00:10:43,037
- Don't jump to conclusions.
- It may turn out to be innocent.
- 116
- 00:10:43,287 --> 00:10:45,997
- Look at the wording, it's all pretty vague.
- 117
- 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,458
- And we don't even know
- the name of the journalist.
- 118
- 00:10:47,541 --> 00:10:49,334
- Well, exactly. But we know the paper.
- 119
- 00:10:49,418 --> 00:10:50,501
- We know its editor.
- 120
- 00:10:50,669 --> 00:10:51,794
- Yeah.
- 121
- 00:10:51,878 --> 00:10:52,962
- You're a friend of Belinda's.
- 122
- 00:10:53,046 --> 00:10:54,339
- Everyone's a friend of Belinda's.
- 123
- 00:10:54,422 --> 00:10:59,427
- What, pony parties is it?
- Going to Oxfordshire for barbecues and gin?
- 124
- 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,721
- Her mother's a marchioness. Lady...
- 125
- 00:11:01,805 --> 00:11:03,516
- Sheep-dip, Lady Cotswolds, I don't know.
- 126
- 00:11:03,598 --> 00:11:05,099
- Which means she's not easy to reach.
- 127
- 00:11:05,142 --> 00:11:07,518
- She's so rich, so posh,
- she doesn't give a fuck.
- 128
- 00:11:07,603 --> 00:11:09,062
- That's the last thing we need.
- 129
- 00:11:10,147 --> 00:11:13,275
- Alec, I don't like to see you rattled.
- 130
- 00:11:13,859 --> 00:11:15,443
- You've done nothing wrong, remember?
- 131
- 00:11:15,526 --> 00:11:16,778
- - You're not on trial.
- - Not yet.
- 132
- 00:11:16,819 --> 00:11:19,030
- What charge are you meant to be facing?
- 133
- 00:11:19,113 --> 00:11:22,242
- You've started a foundation,
- which is for when you leave office.
- 134
- 00:11:22,326 --> 00:11:25,454
- To address major global issues
- of war and peace.
- 135
- 00:11:25,538 --> 00:11:28,164
- It's been part funded by a group
- of American entrepreneurs,
- 136
- 00:11:28,249 --> 00:11:32,085
- who work in many diverse fields,
- including the security business.
- 137
- 00:11:32,210 --> 00:11:33,671
- - So?
- 138
- 00:11:33,754 --> 00:11:35,255
- Perhaps you'd like to tell me
- what's wrong with that?
- 139
- 00:11:35,338 --> 00:11:36,714
- Well, you know what's wrong.
- 140
- 00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:39,050
- The world is complicated.
- People have different interests.
- 141
- 00:11:39,134 --> 00:11:41,554
- Public. Private.
- That's how things are nowadays.
- 142
- 00:11:41,637 --> 00:11:42,847
- It's not a question of how it is,
- 143
- 00:11:42,930 --> 00:11:45,140
- it's a question of how it appears.
- 144
- 00:11:45,224 --> 00:11:46,851
- Especially when these same Americans
- 145
- 00:11:46,933 --> 00:11:49,311
- have just been caught ripping off
- the American taxpayer.
- 146
- 00:11:49,395 --> 00:11:50,853
- - They haven't been caught.
- - Not in public.
- 147
- 00:11:50,938 --> 00:11:52,523
- And they never will be.
- 148
- 00:11:52,605 --> 00:11:56,526
- Which is why it's essential that you remain
- the public face of the foundation.
- 149
- 00:11:56,610 --> 00:11:58,653
- Stirling, your hands are clean.
- 150
- 00:11:59,445 --> 00:12:01,365
- Certainly are. Spotless.
- 151
- 00:12:02,323 --> 00:12:06,411
- What's happening here, I'm trying to do
- something important for my country.
- 152
- 00:12:06,536 --> 00:12:08,037
- Because we're at war,
- 153
- 00:12:08,414 --> 00:12:10,249
- if only people would admit it.
- 154
- 00:12:10,331 --> 00:12:13,459
- In one year Iran will
- have a nuclear weapon.
- 155
- 00:12:13,544 --> 00:12:15,396
- And what and I'm just
- supposed to ignore it?
- 156
- 00:12:15,423 --> 00:12:16,656
- Just sit back, let it happen?
- 157
- 00:12:16,713 --> 00:12:19,716
- Alec, you're the greatest
- politician of the age.
- 158
- 00:12:20,174 --> 00:12:22,051
- Your enemies are plankton.
- 159
- 00:12:22,344 --> 00:12:25,014
- Truly. Some rogue MI5 man with a file.
- 160
- 00:12:25,097 --> 00:12:26,764
- Is this what the Prime
- Minister of Great Britain
- 161
- 00:12:26,849 --> 00:12:29,393
- should be worrying about
- first thing in the morning?
- 162
- 00:12:29,475 --> 00:12:32,521
- Some tie-dyed arsehole
- from Turks and Caicos?
- 163
- 00:12:32,604 --> 00:12:33,898
- Was he wearing tie-dye?
- 164
- 00:12:34,188 --> 00:12:36,149
- - No, he wasn't.
- - Then why did you say it?
- 165
- 00:12:37,359 --> 00:12:40,029
- Because it's a metaphor. And it's a joke.
- 166
- 00:12:40,111 --> 00:12:41,362
- Oh, joke, hmm.
- 167
- 00:12:41,447 --> 00:12:43,114
- Alec, think about it. Seriously.
- 168
- 00:12:43,199 --> 00:12:45,743
- Your people are out there,
- they've got Europe locked down.
- 169
- 00:12:45,826 --> 00:12:48,829
- By our count he's already moved
- at least five times.
- 170
- 00:12:49,538 --> 00:12:51,205
- And there's no plan to it.
- 171
- 00:12:51,957 --> 00:12:54,834
- Worricker's moving zigzag,
- his brain's cotton wool,
- 172
- 00:12:54,918 --> 00:12:56,962
- he's just a rat on a map.
- 173
- 00:12:57,045 --> 00:12:58,880
- - And when we get him?
- - What?
- 174
- 00:12:58,964 --> 00:13:01,674
- I mean, when we've caught him,
- have you thought about that?
- 175
- 00:13:01,758 --> 00:13:04,637
- Do you have any serious idea
- of what we then do with him?
- 176
- 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,054
- And the girlfriend?
- 177
- 00:13:06,138 --> 00:13:09,307
- - I've thought about it.
- - Good. Because that's the next stage.
- 178
- 00:13:09,891 --> 00:13:11,684
- Alec, you're getting
- this out of proportion.
- 179
- 00:13:11,685 --> 00:13:14,646
- No, getting him is the easy bit.
- It's what we do with him then.
- 180
- 00:13:35,375 --> 00:13:37,210
- - What do you think?
- - Pretty nice.
- 181
- 00:13:37,294 --> 00:13:38,796
- You'd better enjoy it.
- 182
- 00:13:39,337 --> 00:13:42,049
- Why? How many more flats do we have?
- 183
- 00:13:42,132 --> 00:13:43,175
- None.
- 184
- 00:13:44,260 --> 00:13:45,302
- Well, don't look at me.
- 185
- 00:13:45,511 --> 00:13:47,762
- By my reckoning Wiesbaden's our fourth.
- 186
- 00:13:47,847 --> 00:13:49,932
- You never could count. Tenth.
- 187
- 00:13:50,181 --> 00:13:51,266
- You're including hotels.
- 188
- 00:13:51,642 --> 00:13:53,060
- Yeah. How could I forget?
- 189
- 00:13:53,351 --> 00:13:54,644
- And we're running out of money.
- 190
- 00:13:54,852 --> 00:13:56,063
- Great.
- 191
- 00:14:00,024 --> 00:14:01,485
- So can we go home?
- 192
- 00:14:10,536 --> 00:14:14,039
- Brian, I've got an unscheduled meeting.
- 193
- 00:14:14,123 --> 00:14:15,665
- I want somewhere secure.
- 194
- 00:14:15,749 --> 00:14:17,459
- - Not in your own office?
- - I said.
- 195
- 00:14:17,542 --> 00:14:19,961
- - There's a room in the basement.
- - Come on then.
- 196
- 00:14:45,236 --> 00:14:47,113
- I need to be left on my own.
- 197
- 00:14:47,698 --> 00:14:48,866
- It's national security.
- 198
- 00:15:04,589 --> 00:15:06,258
- It's kind of you to make time for me.
- 199
- 00:15:07,258 --> 00:15:09,802
- I wanted to see you because
- I'm deeply concerned.
- 200
- 00:15:10,511 --> 00:15:11,554
- Have you seen this?
- 201
- 00:15:11,847 --> 00:15:13,098
- Tell me about it.
- 202
- 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,643
- I know security's no longer your remit...
- 203
- 00:15:15,725 --> 00:15:20,147
- I still get to see a lot of high-grade
- intelligence. It passes across my desk.
- 204
- 00:15:20,230 --> 00:15:21,439
- Yes. That's at my insistence.
- 205
- 00:15:21,522 --> 00:15:23,067
- - Is it really?
- - Yes.
- 206
- 00:15:23,150 --> 00:15:25,109
- - I didn't know that.
- - Well, it is.
- 207
- 00:15:25,443 --> 00:15:29,822
- I believe it's important in government
- that the most sensitive material
- 208
- 00:15:29,907 --> 00:15:32,283
- is always seen by more
- than one pair of eyes.
- 209
- 00:15:32,742 --> 00:15:33,993
- You'll have to explain.
- 210
- 00:15:34,286 --> 00:15:37,497
- The Prime Minister's judgment
- has always been faultless.
- 211
- 00:15:37,705 --> 00:15:38,791
- It certainly has.
- 212
- 00:15:39,082 --> 00:15:40,500
- Don't get me wrong.
- 213
- 00:15:40,584 --> 00:15:44,630
- He's a man who's called every major issue
- of the last 10 years correctly.
- 214
- 00:15:44,839 --> 00:15:45,812
- And you're close to him.
- 215
- 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,909
- I am. I'm very close.
- I owe him a great deal.
- 216
- 00:15:47,967 --> 00:15:49,594
- He made you acting head of the service.
- 217
- 00:15:49,676 --> 00:15:51,345
- More than that, he protected you.
- 218
- 00:15:51,428 --> 00:15:53,221
- - Yes.
- - When you most needed protecting.
- 219
- 00:15:53,389 --> 00:15:55,098
- - I'm in his debt.
- - But?
- 220
- 00:15:55,850 --> 00:15:58,893
- But it's also healthy for government
- if there's a little air,
- 221
- 00:15:58,978 --> 00:16:02,314
- a little ventilation around
- important decisions.
- 222
- 00:16:02,397 --> 00:16:05,775
- That way things don't get cramped.
- 223
- 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,658
- I don't know if you heard about a murder
- in the Caribbean a few months ago.
- 224
- 00:16:13,741 --> 00:16:15,159
- Yes, I think I heard something about it.
- 225
- 00:16:15,243 --> 00:16:17,245
- - A man with a strawberry mark?
- - That's him.
- 226
- 00:16:17,371 --> 00:16:18,581
- Yes, I saw a picture.
- 227
- 00:16:18,664 --> 00:16:21,510
- But to be honest, it
- hasn't been my priority.
- 228
- 00:16:21,537 --> 00:16:22,402
- I'm sure.
- 229
- 00:16:22,458 --> 00:16:25,003
- I've had problems of my own.
- My errant husband.
- 230
- 00:16:25,086 --> 00:16:27,171
- Well, of course, we may be
- able to help you there.
- 231
- 00:16:27,256 --> 00:16:28,507
- I'm sorry? Help me?
- 232
- 00:16:28,590 --> 00:16:31,677
- I mean, we may be able to give you
- information you may not have.
- 233
- 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,094
- About your husband.
- 234
- 00:16:35,347 --> 00:16:36,974
- Stuff you don't know.
- 235
- 00:16:44,814 --> 00:16:45,940
- What sort of stuff?
- 236
- 00:16:49,737 --> 00:16:50,863
- Goon.
- 237
- 00:16:50,945 --> 00:16:52,615
- What you were saying about the murder.
- 238
- 00:16:52,697 --> 00:16:54,324
- Have you heard of The Bridge?
- 239
- 00:16:54,407 --> 00:16:56,618
- The Prime Minister's plan
- to continue statesmanship
- 240
- 00:16:56,702 --> 00:16:59,027
- beyond his formal
- period of elected office?
- 241
- 00:16:59,054 --> 00:17:00,481
- Yes, I've heard of it.
- 242
- 00:17:00,538 --> 00:17:03,583
- It was one of the donors to that project
- who was killed.
- 243
- 00:17:03,791 --> 00:17:06,711
- - Do we know who by?
- - And we've had some questions recently
- 244
- 00:17:06,794 --> 00:17:08,380
- about the project's financing.
- 245
- 00:17:08,506 --> 00:17:09,757
- - It's financing?
- - Yes.
- 246
- 00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:11,090
- How it's financed?
- 247
- 00:17:13,385 --> 00:17:18,306
- Forgive me, but, I'm going to ask
- a question because time is short.
- 248
- 00:17:18,389 --> 00:17:20,141
- - Oh, by all means.
- - It's this.
- 249
- 00:17:20,225 --> 00:17:21,936
- What's the subject of this meeting?
- 250
- 00:17:22,186 --> 00:17:24,395
- - What's the subject?
- - Yes. Give me a headline.
- 251
- 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,358
- Say, I'm going home,
- this evening in the car,
- 252
- 00:17:26,397 --> 00:17:29,150
- or in the bath and I think,
- I met Jill Tankard today
- 253
- 00:17:29,235 --> 00:17:31,152
- and we talked about...
- 254
- 00:17:31,945 --> 00:17:34,323
- What? What did we talk about?
- What was the subject?
- 255
- 00:17:34,405 --> 00:17:36,283
- I've come in to open up a channel.
- 256
- 00:17:36,366 --> 00:17:37,451
- What sort of channel?
- 257
- 00:17:37,533 --> 00:17:39,619
- A channel of communication.
- 258
- 00:17:39,702 --> 00:17:41,372
- To flag up potential trouble.
- 259
- 00:17:41,454 --> 00:17:44,291
- It seems to me any trouble you're talking
- about isn't for me, it's for Alec.
- 260
- 00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:46,292
- I think it may be.
- 261
- 00:17:46,918 --> 00:17:49,880
- Frankly, Jill, what you're saying
- doesn't add up to much.
- 262
- 00:17:50,129 --> 00:17:51,464
- - Doesn't it?
- - I don't think so.
- 263
- 00:17:51,506 --> 00:17:54,051
- - Why not?
- - Because what's the beef here?
- 264
- 00:17:54,134 --> 00:17:56,178
- In his eagerness for a life
- beyond Downing Street,
- 265
- 00:17:56,220 --> 00:17:59,932
- the Prime Minister may have accidentally
- befriended some dubious characters.
- 266
- 00:18:00,140 --> 00:18:01,391
- - Crooks.
- - So?
- 267
- 00:18:01,849 --> 00:18:05,311
- What he'll do when he leaves government
- isn't strictly a matter for the government.
- 268
- 00:18:05,396 --> 00:18:07,313
- Isn't it? Maybe not,
- 269
- 00:18:07,522 --> 00:18:11,277
- but if people find out about it
- and this reference is the first sign
- 270
- 00:18:13,069 --> 00:18:15,280
- then we may enter rough water.
- 271
- 00:18:15,655 --> 00:18:19,076
- And in rough water it'll be
- to your personal advantage
- 272
- 00:18:19,158 --> 00:18:23,079
- to be briefed about what's coming up
- before it actually happens.
- 273
- 00:18:26,917 --> 00:18:28,002
- OK.
- 274
- 00:18:28,085 --> 00:18:29,295
- - And another thing...
- - Yes?
- 275
- 00:18:29,378 --> 00:18:30,628
- The CIA's got a new boss.
- 276
- 00:18:30,713 --> 00:18:31,963
- How does that affect us?
- 277
- 00:18:32,046 --> 00:18:35,341
- He wants to draw a line
- under the excesses of the last 10 years.
- 278
- 00:18:35,426 --> 00:18:37,135
- - Which ones?
- - Private contractors
- 279
- 00:18:37,219 --> 00:18:38,679
- ripping off the American public.
- 280
- 00:18:38,762 --> 00:18:42,473
- And that's been bad news for
- a couple of the Prime Minister's friends.
- 281
- 00:18:45,101 --> 00:18:46,854
- Tell me one thing.
- 282
- 00:18:47,562 --> 00:18:49,647
- Is Johnny Worricker mixed up in this?
- 283
- 00:18:50,274 --> 00:18:51,524
- Of course.
- 284
- 00:18:51,692 --> 00:18:53,485
- And is he still on the loose?
- 285
- 00:18:53,568 --> 00:18:55,528
- He's in Germany. He was in Switzerland,
- 286
- 00:18:56,195 --> 00:18:57,655
- with a former intelligence officer.
- 287
- 00:18:58,281 --> 00:18:59,366
- A woman?
- 288
- 00:18:59,617 --> 00:19:01,784
- - We have real hopes of bringing them home.
- - Soon?
- 289
- 00:19:01,951 --> 00:19:03,579
- Very. We nearly had them this morning.
- 290
- 00:19:03,787 --> 00:19:05,580
- - An agent was out running...
- - But?
- 291
- 00:19:06,372 --> 00:19:08,041
- - But we lost them.
- - How?
- 292
- 00:19:08,918 --> 00:19:11,669
- - Incompetence.
- - So...
- 293
- 00:19:12,296 --> 00:19:16,633
- Meanwhile, you're offering
- me an inside track?
- 294
- 00:19:17,050 --> 00:19:18,928
- - You have it.
- - For what reason?
- 295
- 00:19:19,094 --> 00:19:21,430
- For the obvious reason.
- 296
- 00:19:21,514 --> 00:19:24,496
- Because you're Beasley's
- natural successor.
- 297
- 00:19:24,523 --> 00:19:25,335
- Hardly.
- 298
- 00:19:25,516 --> 00:19:29,687
- Not at the moment I'm not.
- Not while my husband's all over the papers.
- 299
- 00:19:34,985 --> 00:19:36,486
- We can deal with that.
- 300
- 00:19:38,072 --> 00:19:40,365
- You can deal with the
- British press in full cry?
- 301
- 00:19:40,490 --> 00:19:42,117
- I don't see why not.
- 302
- 00:19:42,368 --> 00:19:45,538
- At MI5 we've never had any
- problem with the press.
- 303
- 00:19:45,621 --> 00:19:47,163
- Really?
- 304
- 00:19:47,248 --> 00:19:51,459
- Politics is fair game,
- national security isn't.
- 305
- 00:19:51,544 --> 00:19:54,880
- They're like all bullies,
- they don't like being bullied back.
- 306
- 00:19:55,005 --> 00:19:59,844
- My whole point, the closer you get to us,
- 307
- 00:20:00,051 --> 00:20:01,846
- the easier your life will be.
- 308
- 00:20:12,188 --> 00:20:15,860
- If I agree to this channel,
- 309
- 00:20:16,527 --> 00:20:18,487
- what's going to happen?
- 310
- 00:20:18,570 --> 00:20:20,072
- I'm going to call you, we're going to meet.
- 311
- 00:20:20,154 --> 00:20:21,907
- - Where?
- - In this room.
- 312
- 00:20:21,991 --> 00:20:23,576
- - When?
- - Whenever we need to.
- 313
- 00:20:27,704 --> 00:20:30,582
- One thing, do your colleagues
- know what you're doing?
- 314
- 00:20:32,625 --> 00:20:33,752
- No.
- 315
- 00:20:34,503 --> 00:20:35,671
- Do yours?
- 316
- 00:20:52,646 --> 00:20:55,357
- Here, I got you these. Herrings.
- 317
- 00:20:55,857 --> 00:20:57,775
- The ones you like. Your favourites.
- 318
- 00:20:58,611 --> 00:21:00,528
- I'm going to make salad.
- 319
- 00:21:00,904 --> 00:21:02,156
- OK.
- 320
- 00:21:03,741 --> 00:21:04,868
- I'm going to go for a walk.
- 321
- 00:21:05,241 --> 00:21:06,409
- After lunch?
- 322
- 00:21:06,784 --> 00:21:07,912
- Yeah.
- 323
- 00:21:08,537 --> 00:21:09,955
- Do you want me to come with you?
- 324
- 00:21:10,038 --> 00:21:11,916
- Great idea, and double the risk?
- 325
- 00:21:12,498 --> 00:21:14,043
- I got you this.
- 326
- 00:21:14,126 --> 00:21:15,586
- It's at the local museum.
- 327
- 00:21:15,668 --> 00:21:17,129
- From Raphael to Dali.
- 328
- 00:21:17,212 --> 00:21:19,632
- It started last month,
- it's not too late to join.
- 329
- 00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:22,343
- Aren't you interested?
- 330
- 00:21:22,425 --> 00:21:24,595
- - Of course I'm interested.
- - Well?
- 331
- 00:21:25,303 --> 00:21:27,513
- I started one art class in Lausanne.
- 332
- 00:21:27,598 --> 00:21:28,933
- I started another in Heidelberg.
- 333
- 00:21:29,016 --> 00:21:31,684
- I'm tired of starting things
- I don't get to finish.
- 334
- 00:21:31,769 --> 00:21:33,312
- Margot, we both know the rules.
- 335
- 00:21:33,394 --> 00:21:34,520
- Keep our minds active.
- 336
- 00:21:34,605 --> 00:21:36,648
- - Exactly.
- - Keep doing things.
- 337
- 00:21:39,985 --> 00:21:43,113
- Oh, God, is that your
- idea of making a salad?
- 338
- 00:21:43,655 --> 00:21:44,697
- Sorry.
- 339
- 00:21:44,907 --> 00:21:46,075
- Here.
- 340
- 00:21:46,824 --> 00:21:49,203
- Can't I send you on a salad-making course?
- 341
- 00:21:49,953 --> 00:21:51,371
- That'll keep your mind active.
- 342
- 00:21:56,627 --> 00:22:01,005
- We can retire and grow lettuce in Suffolk
- and you can practice.
- 343
- 00:22:02,423 --> 00:22:04,885
- This is all an attempt to break us.
- Think of it that way.
- 344
- 00:22:04,969 --> 00:22:07,513
- We're feeling like prisoners,
- that's how they want us to feel.
- 345
- 00:22:08,013 --> 00:22:11,307
- And do we have to stay relentlessly
- cheerful? All the time?
- 346
- 00:22:11,392 --> 00:22:12,810
- Once or twice can't we be moody?
- 347
- 00:22:13,393 --> 00:22:14,478
- You can be moody.
- 348
- 00:22:15,771 --> 00:22:18,106
- - Gherkins. Another thing you like.
- - Hmm.
- 349
- 00:22:19,524 --> 00:22:22,820
- "Essiggurke speziell für Feinschmecker."
- 350
- 00:22:24,113 --> 00:22:25,532
- I remember one thing about spying.
- 351
- 00:22:25,905 --> 00:22:27,116
- What's that? What do you remember?
- 352
- 00:22:27,323 --> 00:22:29,951
- What do I remember? Spies work alone.
- 353
- 00:22:54,518 --> 00:22:56,061
- - Julianne?
- - Yes?
- 354
- 00:22:56,895 --> 00:22:57,937
- It's Margot.
- 355
- 00:22:58,104 --> 00:23:00,732
- Hey, where are you now?
- 356
- 00:23:01,442 --> 00:23:02,942
- Don't tell me.
- 357
- 00:23:03,192 --> 00:23:04,695
- Is everything all right?
- 358
- 00:23:04,778 --> 00:23:06,070
- Yes, it's fine.
- 359
- 00:23:06,988 --> 00:23:09,157
- I haven't heard from Dad for weeks.
- 360
- 00:23:09,282 --> 00:23:11,492
- Well, no. He can't call
- you, he's frightened.
- 361
- 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,747
- And I shouldn't. But I couldn't resist.
- 362
- 00:23:14,621 --> 00:23:16,706
- - It's kind of you.
- - Don't be silly.
- 363
- 00:23:16,790 --> 00:23:18,291
- I'm glad one of you cares.
- 364
- 00:23:18,666 --> 00:23:22,712
- We both care. It's just Johnny's
- in an impossible position.
- 365
- 00:23:23,047 --> 00:23:26,300
- He's been in impossible positions
- since the day I was born.
- 366
- 00:23:26,382 --> 00:23:28,218
- He thrives on them.
- 367
- 00:23:29,385 --> 00:23:31,514
- - How big are you?
- - I'm big.
- 368
- 00:23:32,056 --> 00:23:33,766
- I'm due in a couple of months.
- 369
- 00:23:33,891 --> 00:23:35,017
- How's it going with Jez?
- 370
- 00:23:35,767 --> 00:23:38,269
- Oh, day by C53}!-
- 371
- 00:23:38,353 --> 00:23:40,480
- Life with a DJ. Gets in
- when I'm getting up.
- 372
- 00:23:41,105 --> 00:23:42,191
- Are you living together?
- 373
- 00:23:42,398 --> 00:23:43,776
- Almost. Not quite.
- 374
- 00:23:44,276 --> 00:23:45,361
- Otherwise?
- 375
- 00:23:45,693 --> 00:23:47,404
- I'm superstitious.
- 376
- 00:23:50,782 --> 00:23:52,575
- I don't quite dare.
- 377
- 00:23:53,868 --> 00:23:56,246
- It does feel like this
- time I fell on my feet.
- 378
- 00:23:56,329 --> 00:23:58,999
- I just don't want to push it too far.
- 379
- 00:23:59,082 --> 00:24:01,209
- It's lovely to hear your voice, Julianne.
- 380
- 00:24:04,797 --> 00:24:06,590
- I'll call you again. I don't know when...
- 381
- 00:24:06,673 --> 00:24:07,840
- - But I will.
- - Margot?
- 382
- 00:24:07,925 --> 00:24:09,051
- Yes?
- 383
- 00:24:10,261 --> 00:24:11,554
- Take care of yourself.
- 384
- 00:25:21,290 --> 00:25:22,458
- - What?
- - Seen this?
- 385
- 00:25:22,708 --> 00:25:23,876
- You know who wrote it?
- 386
- 00:25:25,793 --> 00:25:29,256
- I have this strange feeling, she's been
- talking to our brothers in Millbank.
- 387
- 00:25:30,340 --> 00:25:31,425
- - How do you know that?
- - I don't.
- 388
- 00:25:31,507 --> 00:25:33,260
- - I sense it.
- - How?
- 389
- 00:25:33,343 --> 00:25:35,053
- Because that's how she came to us.
- 390
- 00:25:35,136 --> 00:25:36,931
- From the BBC remember?
- 391
- 00:25:37,639 --> 00:25:39,683
- She broke the Jake Pierpan story.
- 392
- 00:25:39,767 --> 00:25:41,769
- That peacenik with the drippy sister.
- 393
- 00:25:43,187 --> 00:25:46,522
- Have you ever asked yourself
- why the sainted Allegra got that story?
- 394
- 00:25:46,773 --> 00:25:48,983
- Or, more interesting, why
- did they give it to her?
- 395
- 00:25:49,068 --> 00:25:50,110
- Mmm-hmm.
- 396
- 00:25:51,111 --> 00:25:54,948
- - Maybe she's just a virgin who got lucky.
- - Yeah, right.
- 397
- 00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:57,409
- I wonder, could you take
- her out for a drink?
- 398
- 00:26:02,497 --> 00:26:05,167
- If they're using us, let's
- see if we can use them.
- 399
- 00:26:08,795 --> 00:26:10,965
- All right, let's get going.
- 400
- 00:26:13,341 --> 00:26:15,927
- Oh, Ted, one thing. The diary story.
- 401
- 00:26:16,554 --> 00:26:19,431
- Scan the Internet to see if it spreads.
- 402
- 00:26:19,557 --> 00:26:21,851
- Do it yourself, no one's to know.
- 403
- 00:26:21,933 --> 00:26:25,353
- Yes, sir, I'm sorry,
- I thought you said to ignore it.
- 404
- 00:26:25,436 --> 00:26:27,272
- Well, we are ignoring it.
- 405
- 00:26:27,982 --> 00:26:29,942
- I also want you to keep me informed.
- 406
- 00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:43,162
- You're back.
- 407
- 00:26:43,789 --> 00:26:45,207
- - Nice walk?
- - Yes.
- 408
- 00:26:45,540 --> 00:26:47,500
- - Sweet town, isn't it?
- - Yeah, very sweet.
- 409
- 00:26:47,585 --> 00:26:51,254
- Mmm, Bath, only in
- Germany, and more genteel.
- 410
- 00:26:52,714 --> 00:26:55,049
- I didn't know what you
- wanted to do this evening.
- 411
- 00:26:55,425 --> 00:26:57,552
- - What do you want to do?
- - You could go to a movie.
- 412
- 00:26:57,887 --> 00:26:59,345
- Do you want me to cook supper?
- 413
- 00:26:59,430 --> 00:27:01,140
- You don't have to entertain me, you know.
- 414
- 00:27:01,390 --> 00:27:02,433
- Yeah, I know.
- 415
- 00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:05,644
- I was two years in Belfast,
- never spoke to a soul remember.
- 416
- 00:27:06,353 --> 00:27:08,980
- I'm perfectly happy being unhappy,
- if you know what I mean.
- 417
- 00:27:11,482 --> 00:27:12,525
- You're very unfair.
- 418
- 00:27:12,735 --> 00:27:14,570
- Unfair. How?
- 419
- 00:27:14,653 --> 00:27:16,238
- - About my cooking.
- - Oh.
- 420
- 00:27:16,404 --> 00:27:19,909
- Years ago, remember? I
- made you a carbonara.
- 421
- 00:27:20,034 --> 00:27:22,785
- How could I forget? You made me a Milanese.
- 422
- 00:27:22,870 --> 00:27:24,245
- I'll make you another.
- 423
- 00:27:32,254 --> 00:27:34,172
- They were good times.
- 424
- 00:27:34,255 --> 00:27:36,090
- They are good times.
- 425
- 00:27:41,721 --> 00:27:43,014
- When we move,
- 426
- 00:27:44,432 --> 00:27:48,395
- we're going to move so fast,
- you're not going to believe it.
- 427
- 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,774
- Oh, I think I will.
- 428
- 00:28:19,092 --> 00:28:20,761
- How kind, thank you.
- 429
- 00:28:23,054 --> 00:28:25,515
- You're the first person at the office
- even to admit I exist.
- 430
- 00:28:26,266 --> 00:28:28,060
- It's a newspaper. You'll get used to it.
- 431
- 00:28:29,519 --> 00:28:31,564
- Yeah. Editor's something though, isn't she?
- 432
- 00:28:31,646 --> 00:28:33,941
- You only have power if
- you don't give a bugger.
- 433
- 00:28:34,024 --> 00:28:35,359
- Belinda doesn't give a bugger.
- 434
- 00:28:35,441 --> 00:28:36,818
- That's what makes her special.
- 435
- 00:28:36,902 --> 00:28:39,696
- When politicians ask her
- to lunch, she doesn't go.
- 436
- 00:28:39,780 --> 00:28:41,365
- Let's face it. You can
- only do a job properly
- 437
- 00:28:41,448 --> 00:28:42,491
- if you're not frightened to lose it.
- 438
- 00:28:42,574 --> 00:28:45,286
- - Are you trying to tell me something?
- - No, I'm trying to ask you something.
- 439
- 00:28:45,369 --> 00:28:47,830
- What? What are you asking?
- 440
- 00:28:49,832 --> 00:28:51,917
- Whether you work for the security service.
- 441
- 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,128
- Or whether your boyfriend does.
- 442
- 00:28:54,210 --> 00:28:55,296
- If I have a boyfriend.
- 443
- 00:28:55,378 --> 00:28:56,839
- Whether you've been planted on us.
- 444
- 00:28:57,214 --> 00:28:58,341
- Is this a serious question?
- 445
- 00:28:58,590 --> 00:29:00,800
- - Like that story this morning.
- - What about it?
- 446
- 00:29:01,260 --> 00:29:02,552
- Where did you get it?
- 447
- 00:29:08,266 --> 00:29:09,435
- It's not a bed thing, is it?
- 448
- 00:29:11,312 --> 00:29:13,689
- One of two possibilities.
- A bed thing or a family thing.
- 449
- 00:29:13,898 --> 00:29:15,817
- I'm going to lay a thousand
- to one its family.
- 450
- 00:29:16,316 --> 00:29:17,358
- Why?
- 451
- 00:29:17,443 --> 00:29:20,154
- Because when a journalist
- goes out on a limb, it's always family.
- 452
- 00:29:20,236 --> 00:29:21,779
- Daddy works in intelligence, does he?
- 453
- 00:29:22,114 --> 00:29:23,199
- No.
- 454
- 00:29:23,406 --> 00:29:26,451
- Is he with the dumb ones in Millbank,
- or with the clever ones in Vauxhall?
- 455
- 00:29:26,827 --> 00:29:28,870
- And I'm not out on a limb.
- 456
- 00:29:32,624 --> 00:29:34,417
- What are you planning to do with the story?
- 457
- 00:29:34,418 --> 00:29:36,544
- I'm not sure. I haven't decided.
- 458
- 00:29:37,337 --> 00:29:38,672
- You haven't decided?
- 459
- 00:29:39,715 --> 00:29:40,799
- OK.
- 460
- 00:29:41,758 --> 00:29:44,510
- You don't spell it out,
- leave it for the reader to join the dots,
- 461
- 00:29:44,678 --> 00:29:48,640
- but you're implying the Prime Minister
- takes money from dodgy businessmen
- 462
- 00:29:48,724 --> 00:29:51,310
- who fall in the sea in
- mysterious circumstances,
- 463
- 00:29:51,392 --> 00:29:53,145
- and you haven't decided?
- 464
- 00:29:56,064 --> 00:29:57,148
- What does the look mean?
- 465
- 00:29:57,233 --> 00:29:59,693
- I'm trying to work out if you're
- a great deal stupider than you appear,
- 466
- 00:29:59,777 --> 00:30:01,152
- or a great deal cleverer.
- 467
- 00:30:42,860 --> 00:30:43,945
- Hello.
- 468
- 00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:45,113
- Allegra?
- 469
- 00:30:45,447 --> 00:30:46,656
- - Rollo.
- - Are you home?
- 470
- 00:30:46,823 --> 00:30:48,284
- - Yes.
- - Go to your computer,
- 471
- 00:30:48,366 --> 00:30:50,868
- you'll find something which moves
- the story on. It'd be great
- 472
- 00:30:50,952 --> 00:30:52,204
- if it could go in tonight.
- 473
- 00:30:52,287 --> 00:30:53,622
- - Rollo...
- - Yeah?
- 474
- 00:30:54,372 --> 00:30:55,457
- I'm getting frightened.
- 475
- 00:30:55,708 --> 00:30:57,208
- - People are asking questions.
- - What people?
- 476
- 00:30:57,458 --> 00:30:59,753
- The editor sent a journalist
- to take me out for a drink.
- 477
- 00:30:59,836 --> 00:31:01,129
- Well, that's great. That's
- exactly what we want.
- 478
- 00:31:01,213 --> 00:31:03,257
- - Who did she send?
- - Freddy Lagarde.
- 479
- 00:31:03,339 --> 00:31:06,092
- Whoo, Freddy. Did he take your virtue?
- 480
- 00:31:06,843 --> 00:31:08,052
- For a Pinot Grigio?
- 481
- 00:31:08,345 --> 00:31:12,056
- People have done it for less.
- One thing, get a new phone.
- 482
- 00:31:12,266 --> 00:31:13,601
- As from this morning,
- your name is out there.
- 483
- 00:31:13,684 --> 00:31:14,727
- Always assume someone is listening.
- 484
- 00:31:14,934 --> 00:31:15,977
- And Allegra...
- 485
- 00:31:16,061 --> 00:31:17,855
- - Yes?
- - Hold your nerve.
- 486
- 00:31:18,564 --> 00:31:20,983
- With a bit of luck,
- there's going to be a lot more of this.
- 487
- 00:31:22,151 --> 00:31:24,028
- You've endured weeks of headlines.
- 488
- 00:31:24,111 --> 00:31:27,114
- Do you really believe you can hold on
- as Deputy Prime Minister?
- 489
- 00:31:27,196 --> 00:31:29,908
- To be honest, I see no reason I shouldn't.
- 490
- 00:31:29,992 --> 00:31:32,785
- I stand up for my husband,
- I don't stand in for him.
- 491
- 00:31:33,077 --> 00:31:37,123
- Yes, but if he does appear in Kiev on
- charges of bribing government officials...
- 492
- 00:31:37,416 --> 00:31:39,292
- It's a very different culture from our own.
- 493
- 00:31:40,044 --> 00:31:42,379
- And by the way, if people
- do have questions of him,
- 494
- 00:31:42,462 --> 00:31:45,799
- then I'm confident Bill's going to have
- perfectly satisfactory answers.
- 495
- 00:31:45,883 --> 00:31:47,425
- But can you be sure of that?
- 496
- 00:31:48,843 --> 00:31:51,347
- Do you know, as a matter of fact, I can.
- 497
- 00:32:37,268 --> 00:32:40,061
- Well, this has been a
- very worthwhile evening.
- 498
- 00:32:40,145 --> 00:32:43,189
- It's good for the cabinet to meet
- informally for a change.
- 499
- 00:32:43,274 --> 00:32:44,441
- Kick some ideas around.
- 500
- 00:32:45,525 --> 00:32:48,278
- We appreciate you coming in, Anthea.
- 501
- 00:32:48,362 --> 00:32:50,322
- Things must be heavy on your plate.
- 502
- 00:32:51,448 --> 00:32:53,450
- I mean, if things can be heavy on a plate.
- 503
- 00:32:54,702 --> 00:32:56,537
- - Full on my plate.
- - Yes. Yes.
- 504
- 00:32:56,662 --> 00:32:57,912
- - Loaded.
- 505
- 00:32:59,455 --> 00:33:01,165
- It has been an ordeal, hasn't it?
- 506
- 00:33:02,458 --> 00:33:04,168
- - Yes.
- - But you are bearing up.
- 507
- 00:33:07,631 --> 00:33:09,257
- I wonder what you felt about the item
- 508
- 00:33:09,341 --> 00:33:11,302
- in the Independent
- this morning, Prime Minister.
- 509
- 00:33:11,552 --> 00:33:14,430
- What item was that? I don't think
- I saw it, did I? Remind me.
- 510
- 00:33:14,513 --> 00:33:15,598
- You didn't see it, sir.
- 511
- 00:33:15,681 --> 00:33:17,599
- You have time to read The Independent,
- do you, Jock?
- 512
- 00:33:17,683 --> 00:33:19,226
- Justice must be very under-worked.
- 513
- 00:33:21,687 --> 00:33:22,855
- It put up a red flag.
- 514
- 00:33:22,937 --> 00:33:25,191
- I'm amazed no one in your
- office picked up on it.
- 515
- 00:33:25,648 --> 00:33:26,775
- Anthea, did you see it?
- 516
- 00:33:27,026 --> 00:33:28,110
- No.
- 517
- 00:33:28,693 --> 00:33:29,945
- I've no idea what he is talking about.
- 518
- 00:33:30,029 --> 00:33:31,322
- Well, I'll tell you what it's about.
- 519
- 00:33:31,404 --> 00:33:35,659
- It says some of the people who are financing
- The Bridge have dubious backgrounds.
- 520
- 00:33:35,825 --> 00:33:36,868
- Did it?
- 521
- 00:33:36,952 --> 00:33:40,163
- It seems to be implying
- they're not above murdering each other.
- 522
- 00:33:41,540 --> 00:33:43,791
- Well, that's the way the world is.
- 523
- 00:33:43,876 --> 00:33:46,462
- There's always someone
- who can't wait to fling a bucket of mud.
- 524
- 00:33:46,587 --> 00:33:48,504
- - Get used to it.
- 525
- 00:33:50,590 --> 00:33:51,842
- I'll take a look at it.
- 526
- 00:33:54,886 --> 00:33:56,263
- Let's get out of here.
- 527
- 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,231
- Oh, what do you mean?
- 528
- 00:34:17,408 --> 00:34:18,743
- Oh, uh...
- 529
- 00:34:19,995 --> 00:34:21,372
- Worricker?
- 530
- 00:35:06,125 --> 00:35:07,750
- OK. This is going to be very simple.
- 531
- 00:35:07,834 --> 00:35:10,086
- The simpler we keep it the better.
- It's not going to be difficult.
- 532
- 00:35:10,171 --> 00:35:12,756
- It's going to suit me, then,
- that's what you're saying.
- 533
- 00:35:12,839 --> 00:35:14,592
- We pick up cars.
- 534
- 00:35:14,675 --> 00:35:16,092
- - OK.
- - From different cities.
- 535
- 00:35:16,175 --> 00:35:17,927
- - OK.
- - This is your Europcar card.
- 536
- 00:35:18,011 --> 00:35:18,720
- Thank you.
- 537
- 00:35:18,747 --> 00:35:21,582
- This is a map with a
- route, I've marked it.
- 538
- 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,809
- You return the car as designated.
- 539
- 00:35:23,934 --> 00:35:26,562
- Usual drill. Except this
- time we stay separate.
- 540
- 00:35:26,644 --> 00:35:28,147
- Credit card. Passport.
- 541
- 00:35:28,230 --> 00:35:30,316
- Ah, excellent. Who am I this time?
- 542
- 00:35:31,691 --> 00:35:33,444
- You're joking.
- 543
- 00:35:34,444 --> 00:35:35,946
- I liked it. It made me laugh.
- 544
- 00:35:36,029 --> 00:35:38,157
- And who are you? Cilla Black?
- 545
- 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:39,782
- You don't need to know.
- 546
- 00:35:43,621 --> 00:35:46,581
- And, by the way, I've wanted to say this,
- but I haven't said it.
- 547
- 00:35:46,706 --> 00:35:48,374
- What haven't you said?
- 548
- 00:35:48,791 --> 00:35:52,087
- I wanted to tell you, I minded it
- 549
- 00:35:52,170 --> 00:35:54,048
- when you looked at my phone.
- 550
- 00:35:54,672 --> 00:35:56,300
- When you checked my calls.
- 551
- 00:35:56,383 --> 00:35:58,010
- I hated that.
- 552
- 00:36:00,470 --> 00:36:02,640
- Well, then, I won't be doing that again.
- 553
- 00:36:07,186 --> 00:36:10,814
- And also, just asking, how was my daughter?
- 554
- 00:36:12,273 --> 00:36:15,236
- Julianne? Julianne's fine.
- 555
- 00:36:22,909 --> 00:36:24,410
- You're up.
- 556
- 00:36:24,828 --> 00:36:25,995
- Mmm-hmm.
- 557
- 00:36:27,498 --> 00:36:28,707
- Are you OK?
- 558
- 00:36:28,791 --> 00:36:29,916
- I'm fine.
- 559
- 00:36:51,062 --> 00:36:53,690
- I was just reading this
- stuff about Beasley.
- 560
- 00:36:54,775 --> 00:36:56,193
- What a dag.
- 561
- 00:36:57,068 --> 00:36:58,152
- Dag?
- 562
- 00:36:58,237 --> 00:37:01,197
- Yeah. Dag's the stuff
- that hangs off the end of a sheep.
- 563
- 00:37:01,281 --> 00:37:02,991
- You like him that much?
- 564
- 00:37:03,117 --> 00:37:04,743
- I just don't like people who invent threats
- 565
- 00:37:04,826 --> 00:37:07,037
- to justify doing what they
- wanted to do all along.
- 566
- 00:37:07,872 --> 00:37:09,999
- Look at that face. He looks
- like a Russian mobster.
- 567
- 00:37:12,001 --> 00:37:13,377
- You don't think this
- country's under threat?
- 568
- 00:37:13,544 --> 00:37:15,044
- On the contrary.
- 569
- 00:37:15,129 --> 00:37:16,672
- It's because I take real threats seriously
- 570
- 00:37:16,755 --> 00:37:19,884
- that I don't want to be
- blackmailed by phony ones.
- 571
- 00:37:20,758 --> 00:37:23,595
- Politicians who cry wolf
- are the most dangerous kind.
- 572
- 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,726
- I'm interested. How can you
- know so much about it?
- 573
- 00:37:30,101 --> 00:37:31,936
- I'm interested.
- 574
- 00:37:32,605 --> 00:37:33,981
- How can you not?
- 575
- 00:37:35,983 --> 00:37:39,737
- Sometimes I feel I really
- don't know anything about you.
- 576
- 00:37:40,528 --> 00:37:42,823
- - Don't you?
- - No. No, I don't.
- 577
- 00:37:44,699 --> 00:37:46,117
- But I'd like to.
- 578
- 00:37:51,289 --> 00:37:53,833
- Well, you have plenty of time to find out.
- 579
- 00:38:35,918 --> 00:38:37,753
- Here is the phone.
- 580
- 00:38:39,421 --> 00:38:40,631
- Danke schön.
- 581
- 00:38:46,637 --> 00:38:48,054
- Good luck.
- 582
- 00:38:56,522 --> 00:38:57,898
- I hope you're moving.
- 583
- 00:38:57,981 --> 00:39:00,025
- - We are. I just said goodbye to her.
- - Good.
- 584
- 00:39:00,817 --> 00:39:03,654
- As a matter of interest, who told you
- today was the day to get going?
- 585
- 00:39:03,821 --> 00:39:05,948
- Because believe it or not
- I still have some friends.
- 586
- 00:39:06,699 --> 00:39:07,949
- I'm amazed.
- 587
- 00:39:08,033 --> 00:39:09,450
- Johnny, you'd be even more amazed
- 588
- 00:39:09,534 --> 00:39:12,078
- if you knew how many people in Millbank
- are rooting for you.
- 589
- 00:39:36,352 --> 00:39:39,023
- Good afternoon. I believe
- you may have a car for me.
- 590
- 00:39:39,106 --> 00:39:40,732
- - Do you speak English?
- - We do.
- 591
- 00:39:40,815 --> 00:39:42,234
- Because my German is rusty.
- 592
- 00:39:46,029 --> 00:39:47,406
- Marsden? OK.
- 593
- 00:39:48,281 --> 00:39:50,326
- Gerry Marsden.
- 594
- 00:40:10,888 --> 00:40:12,263
- Do you mind?
- 595
- 00:40:18,687 --> 00:40:20,314
- I guessed you were English.
- 596
- 00:40:20,855 --> 00:40:22,733
- Where are you going? You
- don't mind me asking?
- 597
- 00:40:22,774 --> 00:40:24,151
- Umm...
- 598
- 00:40:24,859 --> 00:40:27,071
- Back to school. I'm a teacher.
- 599
- 00:40:27,195 --> 00:40:28,404
- Where?
- 600
- 00:40:28,656 --> 00:40:30,449
- - What?
- - I was asking, where do you teach?
- 601
- 00:40:30,865 --> 00:40:32,408
- I am sorry.
- 602
- 00:40:33,117 --> 00:40:35,663
- I'm tired. I need to sleep.
- 603
- 00:40:56,809 --> 00:40:58,519
- You're well loaded up.
- 604
- 00:41:00,728 --> 00:41:02,731
- - Isn't that what the continent's for?
- 605
- 00:41:03,606 --> 00:41:05,233
- We all love a booze cruise.
- 606
- 00:41:07,236 --> 00:41:11,155
- Mighty Arsenal! On to victory! Yay!
- 607
- 00:41:43,397 --> 00:41:44,522
- Thank you.
- 608
- 00:41:46,691 --> 00:41:47,818
- Miss Springfield.
- 609
- 00:41:48,110 --> 00:41:49,277
- Thank you.
- 610
- 00:42:02,708 --> 00:42:04,210
- Ah, you must be Belinda Kay.
- 611
- 00:42:04,793 --> 00:42:07,338
- - Yes, I am.
- - How kind of you to see me.
- 612
- 00:42:07,421 --> 00:42:09,465
- - How are you?
- - And who are you?
- 613
- 00:42:09,589 --> 00:42:11,842
- I'm the man who telephoned.
- 614
- 00:42:12,258 --> 00:42:13,801
- Yes, of course you are.
- 615
- 00:42:19,224 --> 00:42:21,017
- Twenty-four bottles of wine.
- 616
- 00:42:21,769 --> 00:42:23,562
- Thank you. How thoughtful.
- 617
- 00:42:24,229 --> 00:42:26,314
- Because I'm a journalist
- I must be alcoholic?
- 618
- 00:42:26,690 --> 00:42:28,442
- You've come from abroad?
- 619
- 00:42:28,526 --> 00:42:30,985
- Um, I hope you like Bourgueil.
- 620
- 00:42:31,527 --> 00:42:32,987
- Well, aren't you the welcome guest?
- 621
- 00:42:39,745 --> 00:42:41,288
- Come this way.
- 622
- 00:42:42,997 --> 00:42:44,875
- Goodness, this is quite imposing.
- 623
- 00:42:48,796 --> 00:42:50,046
- Hey-
- 624
- 00:42:51,507 --> 00:42:55,260
- This is Barry, he's my boyfriend
- or some such thing...
- 625
- 00:42:55,344 --> 00:42:56,637
- - Hi.
- - Barry.
- 626
- 00:42:56,844 --> 00:42:58,722
- I'm just making some tea.
- 627
- 00:42:58,806 --> 00:43:00,223
- You're gonna have to hop it.
- 628
- 00:43:00,307 --> 00:43:02,142
- - Sorry?
- - This is confidential.
- 629
- 00:43:05,103 --> 00:43:06,396
- Hop it!
- 630
- 00:43:06,814 --> 00:43:08,273
- You never saw this man.
- 631
- 00:43:09,274 --> 00:43:10,734
- He doesn't exist.
- 632
- 00:43:11,442 --> 00:43:13,152
- He's none too bright.
- 633
- 00:43:14,905 --> 00:43:17,491
- Come through. Or perhaps
- you'd prefer whisky.
- 634
- 00:43:17,575 --> 00:43:20,285
- Um, not right now, I need a clear head.
- 635
- 00:43:21,244 --> 00:43:25,082
- Look, first of all I want to thank you
- for all your paper's done already.
- 636
- 00:43:25,164 --> 00:43:26,667
- It's been a wonderful job.
- 637
- 00:43:36,676 --> 00:43:38,970
- Do you know how lonely
- that makes an editor feel?
- 638
- 00:43:39,053 --> 00:43:40,889
- You run a story and no one else touches it.
- 639
- 00:43:41,139 --> 00:43:42,724
- I'm hoping we can change that.
- 640
- 00:43:43,267 --> 00:43:45,394
- People have low expectations.
- 641
- 00:43:45,476 --> 00:43:48,980
- You'd be surprised.
- Beasley's feathering his nest, so what?
- 642
- 00:43:49,064 --> 00:43:51,192
- He's got disreputable friends. So?
- 643
- 00:43:51,774 --> 00:43:52,859
- He's a politician.
- 644
- 00:43:52,943 --> 00:43:56,572
- I'm hoping to make the story
- a little more specific than that.
- 645
- 00:43:57,156 --> 00:43:59,324
- - A newspaper isn't a blog, you know.
- - I know that.
- 646
- 00:43:59,407 --> 00:44:03,286
- It's not just whatever you think.
- Or whatever anyone happens to tell you.
- 647
- 00:44:03,786 --> 00:44:05,872
- There are editorial protocols.
- Have you ever heard of them?
- 648
- 00:44:05,998 --> 00:44:07,833
- Of course. I'm hoping to satisfy those.
- 649
- 00:44:08,083 --> 00:44:10,793
- And somehow you're going to
- do that without telling me your name?
- 650
- 00:44:10,877 --> 00:44:11,920
- Unlikely.
- 651
- 00:44:14,672 --> 00:44:15,925
- The girl's a plant, isn't she?
- 652
- 00:44:16,133 --> 00:44:18,384
- No, I don't think so. If you mean Allegra.
- 653
- 00:44:18,511 --> 00:44:20,387
- The one with the damask cheek.
- 654
- 00:44:21,012 --> 00:44:22,932
- She of the butter-wouldn't-melt brigade.
- 655
- 00:44:23,014 --> 00:44:25,351
- Allegra isn't a plant, she's a conduit.
- 656
- 00:44:26,101 --> 00:44:29,396
- As a matter of fact, she's the niece
- of a colleague of mine.
- 657
- 00:44:29,646 --> 00:44:31,482
- Well, there you are.
- 658
- 00:44:31,565 --> 00:44:33,524
- That's England, one big family.
- 659
- 00:44:33,609 --> 00:44:36,569
- And I suppose now she's served her
- purpose it's time to move on to me.
- 660
- 00:44:38,531 --> 00:44:42,493
- All right, go ahead, make your pitch.
- 661
- 00:44:43,786 --> 00:44:44,911
- OK.
- 662
- 00:44:46,788 --> 00:44:51,836
- I don't know how much you know
- about Britain's intelligence service.
- 663
- 00:44:51,919 --> 00:44:53,294
- Funny,
- 664
- 00:44:54,713 --> 00:44:56,298
- I had a feeling you might start there.
- 665
- 00:44:56,549 --> 00:45:00,177
- Well, the last 10 years
- have been kind of bumpy.
- 666
- 00:45:00,427 --> 00:45:03,012
- It used to be very clear who the enemy was.
- 667
- 00:45:03,097 --> 00:45:05,557
- And so also it was clear what the job was.
- 668
- 00:45:05,641 --> 00:45:07,726
- - And then?
- - Then we got caught out.
- 669
- 00:45:07,850 --> 00:45:10,019
- Trouble came from an unexpected direction.
- 670
- 00:45:10,104 --> 00:45:12,647
- Or rather it started coming
- from every direction.
- 671
- 00:45:12,731 --> 00:45:16,443
- Suddenly we were told we were meant
- to be fighting a worldwide movement.
- 672
- 00:45:16,652 --> 00:45:17,736
- And weren't you?
- 673
- 00:45:17,903 --> 00:45:20,865
- Let's just say we got a bit careless
- about distinguishing between
- 674
- 00:45:20,947 --> 00:45:25,368
- people who would like to do terrible things
- and people who were actually doing them.
- 675
- 00:45:25,452 --> 00:45:27,745
- We became indiscriminate
- about the methods we used.
- 676
- 00:45:27,830 --> 00:45:32,293
- It was dog eat dog.
- Only problem is, we're not dogs.
- 677
- 00:45:32,375 --> 00:45:35,044
- Is "indiscriminate methods"
- a euphemism for torture?
- 678
- 00:45:35,171 --> 00:45:36,672
- Torture's just part of an apparatus.
- 679
- 00:45:36,755 --> 00:45:39,550
- An apparatus of bad practice
- 680
- 00:45:39,633 --> 00:45:40,967
- which is out of control
- 681
- 00:45:41,050 --> 00:45:44,221
- and which I don't believe is
- helping anyone, least of all us.
- 682
- 00:45:45,264 --> 00:45:48,033
- Meanwhile, politicians
- want to cut corners.
- 683
- 00:45:48,060 --> 00:45:48,752
- Sure.
- 684
- 00:45:49,058 --> 00:45:51,936
- Alec Beasley's been
- trying to re-organize the service.
- 685
- 00:45:52,020 --> 00:45:53,856
- - Re-organize it?
- - And bypass it.
- 686
- 00:45:53,939 --> 00:45:57,191
- His mind's made up and the
- facts don't bother him.
- 687
- 00:45:57,276 --> 00:45:59,945
- Well, that's his right, isn't it?
- After all, he won a couple of elections.
- 688
- 00:46:00,028 --> 00:46:02,196
- - He certainly did.
- - Because people like his strength.
- 689
- 00:46:02,198 --> 00:46:04,782
- He has a mandate. That is democracy.
- 690
- 00:46:05,783 --> 00:46:09,662
- And, speaking for myself, I have a great
- deal more faith in someone I've elected
- 691
- 00:46:09,746 --> 00:46:13,875
- than some disgruntled intelligence officer,
- I'm assuming that's what you are,
- 692
- 00:46:13,959 --> 00:46:17,630
- who arrives at my house with
- two cases of wine and an outsize grievance.
- 693
- 00:46:18,464 --> 00:46:22,635
- I'm too young but you may remember a
- prime minister called Harold Wilson.
- 694
- 00:46:22,717 --> 00:46:23,844
- I do remember him.
- 695
- 00:46:23,928 --> 00:46:27,515
- Didn't the security service spend a great
- deal of effort trying to get rid of him?
- 696
- 00:46:27,806 --> 00:46:29,683
- I don't think that's ever been proved.
- 697
- 00:46:29,766 --> 00:46:32,019
- I didn't ask if it was proved,
- I asked if it were true.
- 698
- 00:46:32,978 --> 00:46:35,397
- - And I'm not trying to get rid of Beasley.
- - Aren't you?
- 699
- 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,983
- No. I'm trying to put
- the facts in front of the public.
- 700
- 00:46:40,319 --> 00:46:43,656
- You're a very plausible fellow, aren't you,
- whatever your name is.
- 701
- 00:46:44,155 --> 00:46:45,907
- Remember, I'm a rat catcher myself.
- 702
- 00:46:45,991 --> 00:46:49,453
- It takes one to know one, and everything
- you say stinks to high heaven.
- 703
- 00:46:50,828 --> 00:46:51,913
- Tell me why.
- 704
- 00:46:51,997 --> 00:46:54,166
- No editor likes to be used.
- 705
- 00:46:55,333 --> 00:46:58,087
- You may be burning to bring down
- a prime minister, but I'm not.
- 706
- 00:46:58,169 --> 00:46:59,254
- That's not my intention.
- 707
- 00:46:59,338 --> 00:47:02,174
- All I'm trying to do is throw a little
- light on some of his activities.
- 708
- 00:47:02,258 --> 00:47:06,302
- Oh, I see, this is assisted killing, is it?
- 709
- 00:47:06,387 --> 00:47:08,888
- You put the pill in the hand,
- but you don't put it in the mouth.
- 710
- 00:47:08,973 --> 00:47:10,223
- - No.
- - You leave that to us.
- 711
- 00:47:10,307 --> 00:47:15,061
- I mean, just one more question. Aren't
- you rather over-stretching your remit?
- 712
- 00:47:15,144 --> 00:47:16,230
- I don't think so.
- 713
- 00:47:16,313 --> 00:47:18,357
- I thought you were meant to gather secrets,
- not give them away.
- 714
- 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,442
- So far, I don't remember
- giving you any secrets.
- 715
- 00:47:20,526 --> 00:47:21,569
- Well, I thought you did.
- 716
- 00:47:21,651 --> 00:47:24,195
- No. Everything you've been told
- has been on the public record.
- 717
- 00:47:24,279 --> 00:47:26,823
- - Truly?
- - Only just like most newspapers nowadays
- 718
- 00:47:26,906 --> 00:47:29,659
- you've lacked the diligence
- to go out and find it.
- 719
- 00:47:31,161 --> 00:47:32,913
- Or maybe the motivation?
- 720
- 00:47:37,542 --> 00:47:40,378
- - All right, these are the facts.
- - Great.
- 721
- 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:41,963
- Let's hear them.
- 722
- 00:47:42,171 --> 00:47:45,718
- The Prime Minister is linked
- to a series of interlocking charities
- 723
- 00:47:45,801 --> 00:47:49,388
- which are partly financed
- by a firm called Gladstone.
- 724
- 00:47:50,847 --> 00:47:54,767
- Gladstone has built an international
- complex of detention camps
- 725
- 00:47:54,852 --> 00:47:56,145
- which don't officially exist
- 726
- 00:47:56,228 --> 00:47:59,064
- and for which they've therefore
- been able to overcharge.
- 727
- 00:47:59,147 --> 00:48:00,816
- Now, you're telling me something new.
- 728
- 00:48:01,108 --> 00:48:04,652
- The American government has put pressure
- on them to get some of its money back.
- 729
- 00:48:04,737 --> 00:48:05,821
- A great deal of pressure.
- 730
- 00:48:05,904 --> 00:48:06,946
- And have they succeeded?
- 731
- 00:48:08,657 --> 00:48:10,743
- That's something you're going
- to have to look into.
- 732
- 00:48:12,578 --> 00:48:13,621
- OK.
- 733
- 00:48:14,787 --> 00:48:17,499
- That's an interesting story,
- I'm sure we'll want to cover it,
- 734
- 00:48:17,583 --> 00:48:18,876
- we all love laughing at the Yanks,
- 735
- 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,835
- but I still don't see how
- it reflects on Alec Beasley.
- 736
- 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,337
- - Don't you?
- - No.
- 737
- 00:48:25,256 --> 00:48:26,549
- I'll tell you.
- 738
- 00:48:26,841 --> 00:48:29,719
- But if I do, I'll be crossing a line.
- 739
- 00:48:29,886 --> 00:48:30,929
- What sort of line?
- 740
- 00:48:31,012 --> 00:48:33,474
- The secret line.
- 741
- 00:48:33,682 --> 00:48:35,642
- I need to know if you're
- at peace with that.
- 742
- 00:48:35,768 --> 00:48:38,061
- Shouldn't that question be directed at you?
- 743
- 00:48:39,354 --> 00:48:40,897
- Very well.
- 744
- 00:48:41,189 --> 00:48:42,941
- It's going to be hard to unpick,
- 745
- 00:48:43,024 --> 00:48:47,738
- because Beasley's affairs are tangled up
- in companies owned by Stirling Rogers.
- 746
- 00:48:49,156 --> 00:48:53,409
- But I can promise you,
- somewhere there's a paper trail
- 747
- 00:48:53,536 --> 00:48:56,829
- which leads directly back
- from the building of the camps
- 748
- 00:48:56,914 --> 00:49:00,208
- to the Prime Minister's
- own personal finances.
- 749
- 00:49:03,754 --> 00:49:04,837
- Really?
- 750
- 00:49:05,506 --> 00:49:06,714
- Yeah.
- 751
- 00:49:09,635 --> 00:49:10,678
- Huh!
- 752
- 00:49:18,018 --> 00:49:19,103
- I wonder...
- 753
- 00:49:21,939 --> 00:49:25,191
- Would you be interested in staying to eat?
- 754
- 00:49:31,197 --> 00:49:32,908
- - Miss Tankard?
- - Yes?
- 755
- 00:49:34,367 --> 00:49:37,288
- It's Amber Page. We've got Margot.
- 756
- 00:49:37,745 --> 00:49:38,788
- How?
- 757
- 00:49:39,164 --> 00:49:40,916
- Luck. Pure luck.
- 758
- 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,459
- One of our people got on
- a train at Frankfurt.
- 759
- 00:49:43,544 --> 00:49:46,337
- He was on holiday, he wasn't even working.
- 760
- 00:49:46,422 --> 00:49:49,800
- And listen, here is the good news,
- she's heading home.
- 761
- 00:49:50,134 --> 00:49:51,177
- Where is she?
- 762
- 00:49:51,343 --> 00:49:53,429
- She's getting in at Stansted from Paris.
- 763
- 00:49:54,637 --> 00:49:55,680
- And we've got people waiting?
- 764
- 00:49:55,764 --> 00:49:56,807
- They're in place.
- 765
- 00:49:56,891 --> 00:49:58,976
- - And him?
- - No. He's not with her.
- 766
- 00:49:59,476 --> 00:50:00,643
- But it's all right.
- 767
- 00:50:01,144 --> 00:50:04,648
- One thing I can promise is,
- he won't be without her for very long.
- 768
- 00:50:04,814 --> 00:50:06,107
- Keep in touch.
- 769
- 00:50:11,821 --> 00:50:13,448
- - Amber.
- - Yeah?
- 770
- 00:50:13,532 --> 00:50:14,949
- - It's Jez.
- - Jez, where are you?
- 771
- 00:50:15,283 --> 00:50:17,327
- I'm alone. I haven't got long.
- Julianne's forgotten her phone.
- 772
- 00:50:17,411 --> 00:50:18,454
- And?
- 773
- 00:50:18,537 --> 00:50:20,080
- You remember that call?
- The one from Margot?
- 774
- 00:50:20,163 --> 00:50:21,247
- Of course. Last week.
- 775
- 00:50:21,373 --> 00:50:23,209
- - That's it.
- - Unidentified caller?
- 776
- 00:50:23,291 --> 00:50:24,584
- Yeah, the office has broken it.
- 777
- 00:50:24,626 --> 00:50:25,836
- You've got Margot's number?
- 778
- 00:50:25,919 --> 00:50:26,961
- We do.
- 779
- 00:50:27,046 --> 00:50:31,424
- Jez, I've got good news.
- We also have Margot Tyrell in person.
- 780
- 00:50:31,674 --> 00:50:34,178
- -She's heading back to the UK.
- 781
- 00:50:34,260 --> 00:50:35,470
- Good. Then we're in business.
- 782
- 00:50:35,721 --> 00:50:37,056
- - Text me that number.
- - I've done it.
- 783
- 00:50:37,138 --> 00:50:38,599
- Hold on, I have to go.
- 784
- 00:50:43,978 --> 00:50:45,521
- Jez?
- 785
- 00:50:47,483 --> 00:50:48,943
- Are you awake?
- 786
- 00:50:53,447 --> 00:50:54,864
- Ah, good!
- 787
- 00:50:55,533 --> 00:50:57,992
- Welcome to Barry's running buffet.
- 788
- 00:50:58,410 --> 00:51:01,871
- - He's perfect, isn't he?
- - Heaven to live with. We lack for nothing.
- 789
- 00:51:01,955 --> 00:51:04,917
- - Thank you, Barry.
- - My pleasure.
- 790
- 00:51:04,999 --> 00:51:07,168
- I'm afraid you're going to
- have to leave us again.
- 791
- 00:51:09,296 --> 00:51:11,339
- The coriander goes with the chicken,
- 792
- 00:51:11,423 --> 00:51:12,882
- the dressing goes with the rocket.
- 793
- 00:51:13,217 --> 00:51:15,344
- Don't worry, we'll manage.
- 794
- 00:51:15,426 --> 00:51:16,679
- Enjoy!
- 795
- 00:51:20,766 --> 00:51:22,559
- You have everything.
- 796
- 00:51:31,150 --> 00:51:32,944
- And you?
- 797
- 00:51:34,028 --> 00:51:35,155
- Friends and family?
- 798
- 00:51:42,537 --> 00:51:45,999
- It's none of my business,
- but you seem rather sad.
- 799
- 00:51:47,376 --> 00:51:50,420
- I'm not sad. It's just...
- 800
- 00:51:50,588 --> 00:51:53,883
- I suppose I was doing a job I loved
- and now it's been taken away.
- 801
- 00:51:53,966 --> 00:51:55,968
- You're an editor, I imagine
- it's pretty good fun.
- 802
- 00:51:56,010 --> 00:51:57,303
- And you were a spy.
- 803
- 00:51:59,053 --> 00:52:00,346
- Correct.
- 804
- 00:52:01,724 --> 00:52:07,312
- And you're wondering, if I'm
- not a spy, then what am I?
- 805
- 00:52:12,151 --> 00:52:14,737
- Shall we get back to the matter in hand?
- 806
- 00:52:19,658 --> 00:52:23,370
- There's a rule of thumb,
- for this kind of campaign.
- 807
- 00:52:23,494 --> 00:52:27,791
- What do they say?
- "It's never the crime, it's the cover-up."
- 808
- 00:52:27,874 --> 00:52:29,251
- Well, there isn't a cover-up yet.
- 809
- 00:52:29,751 --> 00:52:31,420
- - We haven't got that far.
- - Right.
- 810
- 00:52:31,504 --> 00:52:32,837
- So, we have to force him into one.
- 811
- 00:52:32,921 --> 00:52:35,548
- We have to ask him questions
- which he can't answer.
- 812
- 00:52:35,674 --> 00:52:37,218
- Do you know what those questions are?
- 813
- 00:52:37,300 --> 00:52:39,135
- And the other rule is, as you say,
- 814
- 00:52:39,220 --> 00:52:42,181
- a campaign isn't a campaign
- if it's only been picked up by one paper.
- 815
- 00:52:42,389 --> 00:52:44,975
- No one else is going to
- touch it until they have to.
- 816
- 00:52:45,559 --> 00:52:48,478
- Well, then we'd better make sure
- the questions are good.
- 817
- 00:53:32,063 --> 00:53:33,106
- Thanks, guys.
- 818
- 00:54:45,429 --> 00:54:46,722
- You are good at this.
- 819
- 00:54:47,056 --> 00:54:48,098
- Thank you.
- 820
- 00:54:51,351 --> 00:54:52,436
- Why don't you have a jacket?
- 821
- 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:53,771
- Obviously, because I'm
- not as good as you are.
- 822
- 00:54:53,853 --> 00:54:55,481
- - Where are we going?
- - To a safe house.
- 823
- 00:55:11,412 --> 00:55:12,455
- Good afternoon.
- 824
- 00:55:14,834 --> 00:55:16,334
- I'm an old friend of Johnny's.
- 825
- 00:55:17,253 --> 00:55:18,504
- How nice to meet you.
- 826
- 00:55:18,878 --> 00:55:20,129
- We were at Cambridge together.
- 827
- 00:55:20,673 --> 00:55:22,258
- - Goodness.
- - Yes. Oh, yes.
- 828
- 00:55:22,340 --> 00:55:24,467
- Johnny was a very real loss to theology.
- 829
- 00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:26,553
- - Can I leave her in your hands, Padre?
- - Of course you can.
- 830
- 00:55:26,637 --> 00:55:29,639
- Sorry but I have to get back to work.
- Talk soon.
- 831
- 00:55:42,110 --> 00:55:44,613
- It's the Church's traditional function.
- 832
- 00:55:44,696 --> 00:55:47,533
- It's the thing we've done
- best for 2,000 years.
- 833
- 00:55:48,449 --> 00:55:50,578
- - Provide sanctuary.
- 834
- 00:55:52,537 --> 00:55:55,249
- # Sweet chariot
- 835
- 00:55:55,791 --> 00:55:58,877
- # Coming for to carry me home
- 836
- 00:55:59,795 --> 00:56:04,591
- # Swing low, sweet chariot
- 837
- 00:56:04,967 --> 00:56:08,596
- # Coming for to carry me home #
- 838
- 00:56:10,555 --> 00:56:12,516
- What the hell's going on?
- 839
- 00:56:12,599 --> 00:56:14,684
- - It's a celebration.
- - That I can see.
- 840
- 00:56:14,767 --> 00:56:17,688
- We've been told tomorrow
- the charges are going to be dropped.
- 841
- 00:56:18,646 --> 00:56:20,524
- Dropped?
- 842
- 00:56:21,859 --> 00:56:22,902
- All of them?
- 843
- 00:56:23,568 --> 00:56:27,907
- The Ukrainian court has decided
- it's not in the public interest to proceed.
- 844
- 00:56:28,407 --> 00:56:29,782
- Meaning what?
- 845
- 00:56:29,866 --> 00:56:31,659
- Meaning someone's done a deal?
- 846
- 00:56:31,744 --> 00:56:33,037
- I guess.
- 847
- 00:56:33,162 --> 00:56:34,705
- What sort of deal?
- 848
- 00:56:34,787 --> 00:56:36,122
- A trade deal?
- 849
- 00:56:36,207 --> 00:56:38,000
- - What sort of trade?
- - What is it always?
- 850
- 00:56:40,336 --> 00:56:42,879
- Weapons, of course. Arms.
- 851
- 00:56:43,379 --> 00:56:45,090
- It's always arms.
- 852
- 00:56:46,299 --> 00:56:48,761
- With one bound I'm free.
- 853
- 00:56:51,597 --> 00:56:54,183
- Get those men out of my house.
- 854
- 00:57:30,970 --> 00:57:32,555
- - Jill?
- - Yes?
- 855
- 00:57:33,806 --> 00:57:36,599
- We need to meet, urgently.
- 856
- 00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:38,727
- Yes, of course.
- 857
- 00:57:38,853 --> 00:57:40,604
- You know what's happening to Bill?
- 858
- 00:57:41,438 --> 00:57:43,983
- I told you, didn't I, stick close to us.
- 859
- 00:57:44,066 --> 00:57:46,526
- I need to be clear. Is this your doing?
- 860
- 00:57:47,403 --> 00:57:48,861
- Anthea, can I say something?
- 861
- 00:57:49,904 --> 00:57:52,532
- It's one thing to go around
- saying what you want.
- 862
- 00:57:52,616 --> 00:57:55,618
- The test comes when you're actually
- given the chance to get it.
- 863
- 00:57:56,203 --> 00:57:57,954
- That's when you're tested.
- 864
- 00:57:59,665 --> 00:58:01,709
- When they wanted to get
- rid of Margaret Thatcher,
- 865
- 00:58:01,792 --> 00:58:05,753
- John Major got toothache
- so he didn't have to answer his phone.
- 866
- 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:07,630
- A week later, he was Prime Minister.
- 867
- 00:58:09,173 --> 00:58:10,675
- How are your teeth?
- 868
- 00:58:13,512 --> 00:58:15,138
- Just beginning to ache.
- 869
- 00:58:16,849 --> 00:58:18,766
- Good. I'm glad to hear it.
- 870
- 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:35,533
- You see him often?
- 871
- 00:58:35,742 --> 00:58:37,912
- When he's in trouble.
- 872
- 00:58:37,995 --> 00:58:39,122
- But you know how Johnny is,
- 873
- 00:58:39,162 --> 00:58:41,205
- once you're his friend,
- you're his friend forever.
- 874
- 00:58:42,290 --> 00:58:44,292
- He's loyal above all things.
- 875
- 00:58:45,376 --> 00:58:47,503
- - But you know that.
- - Yes.
- 876
- 00:58:48,672 --> 00:58:50,548
- We were together a long time.
- 877
- 00:58:51,925 --> 00:58:53,385
- He wasn't threatened by me.
- 878
- 00:58:54,469 --> 00:58:57,430
- The stronger I was, the more he liked it.
- 879
- 00:58:58,139 --> 00:58:59,182
- That's rare.
- 880
- 00:59:00,100 --> 00:59:01,143
- Good for him.
- 881
- 00:59:05,188 --> 00:59:06,398
- You know him well?
- 882
- 00:59:06,481 --> 00:59:08,526
- I helped him through some difficult days.
- 883
- 00:59:09,818 --> 00:59:14,448
- When he was a student,
- he loved the idea of faith.
- 884
- 00:59:14,530 --> 00:59:15,991
- The life of the Church.
- 885
- 00:59:17,785 --> 00:59:20,828
- So, someone had to point out
- that he didn't actually believe.
- 886
- 00:59:22,956 --> 00:59:24,124
- And that was you?
- 887
- 00:59:24,540 --> 00:59:25,583
- Mmm-hmm.
- 888
- 00:59:26,626 --> 00:59:28,169
- And he didn't?
- 889
- 00:59:28,587 --> 00:59:30,797
- No. He wanted to.
- 890
- 00:59:32,257 --> 00:59:33,801
- More than anything.
- 891
- 00:59:35,302 --> 00:59:36,929
- But, sadly, that's not the same thing.
- 892
- 00:59:51,193 --> 00:59:52,860
- - Thank you.
- - No, thank you.
- 893
- 00:59:54,321 --> 00:59:55,738
- Barry, good night.
- 894
- 01:01:14,817 --> 01:01:16,445
- Come on, Stirling! Your
- backhand's normally terrific.
- 895
- 01:01:16,527 --> 01:01:17,612
- What the hell's going on?
- 896
- 01:01:17,696 --> 01:01:19,323
- My mind's elsewhere, sorry.
- 897
- 01:01:19,532 --> 01:01:20,741
- I need you to give me a game.
- 898
- 01:01:21,324 --> 01:01:22,409
- Do you want to play properly?
- 899
- 01:01:22,493 --> 01:01:25,120
- Because if you don't play properly,
- there's no point in playing.
- 900
- 01:01:34,045 --> 01:01:36,339
- Oh, come on, Stirling, you
- can do better than that.
- 901
- 01:01:59,654 --> 01:02:01,782
- - All right, you know what this is.
- - No, I don't.
- 902
- 01:02:02,074 --> 01:02:04,284
- - You bloody well do.
- - Ah! It's that again is it?
- 903
- 01:02:04,702 --> 01:02:05,827
- I've reached a decision.
- 904
- 01:02:08,746 --> 01:02:10,875
- Alec, I'm road-kill.
- 905
- 01:02:10,958 --> 01:02:12,042
- I don't mean a thing.
- 906
- 01:02:12,166 --> 01:02:13,668
- Lose me, you lose nothing.
- 907
- 01:02:13,752 --> 01:02:16,422
- Think, the press are after us.
- It's only a question of time.
- 908
- 01:02:16,504 --> 01:02:17,673
- Sol issue a statement...
- 909
- 01:02:17,756 --> 01:02:19,341
- - No.
- - It's simple.
- 910
- 01:02:19,424 --> 01:02:21,343
- Everything I've done,
- I've done in good faith.
- 911
- 01:02:21,385 --> 01:02:24,387
- My only interest has been in safeguarding
- the Prime Minister's legacy.
- 912
- 01:02:24,596 --> 01:02:25,680
- No, Stirling, no!
- 913
- 01:02:25,764 --> 01:02:28,308
- However, unknown to you...
- 914
- 01:02:28,392 --> 01:02:30,310
- And this is the crucial part...
- 915
- 01:02:30,393 --> 01:02:34,522
- Unknown to you, I took money
- from certain people in the States.
- 916
- 01:02:34,648 --> 01:02:36,858
- - No...
- - But why not? It's a clean cut.
- 917
- 01:02:36,942 --> 01:02:38,360
- You know what that sounds like.
- 918
- 01:02:38,443 --> 01:02:41,655
- Unknown to me, you got dodgy money
- and I'm so stupid I didn't even know.
- 919
- 01:02:41,739 --> 01:02:43,866
- - Alec, you know where this is going.
- - No, I don't.
- 920
- 01:02:43,948 --> 01:02:46,826
- It's going where every
- political scandal always goes.
- 921
- 01:02:46,911 --> 01:02:51,290
- The press doesn't give a fuck about issues,
- they just want a kill.
- 922
- 01:02:51,373 --> 01:02:52,416
- Oh, clearly.
- 923
- 01:02:52,498 --> 01:02:54,001
- Well, here I am.
- 924
- 01:02:54,083 --> 01:02:55,711
- - I'm offering myself.
- - No.
- 925
- 01:02:55,794 --> 01:02:57,338
- - And for one very good reason.
- - No!
- 926
- 01:02:57,420 --> 01:02:59,297
- If I go, the screaming's over.
- 927
- 01:02:59,381 --> 01:03:02,467
- - But it doesn't work like that.
- - Then how does it work?
- 928
- 01:03:02,551 --> 01:03:04,969
- If you give them fresh blood
- then they always want more.
- 929
- 01:03:05,053 --> 01:03:07,597
- Now, a week ago you told
- me this wasn't important.
- 930
- 01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,432
- A week ago it wasn't.
- 931
- 01:03:10,016 --> 01:03:11,059
- Well...
- 932
- 01:03:11,851 --> 01:03:12,894
- Jesus!
- 933
- 01:03:13,562 --> 01:03:15,730
- Everything I do I do for my country.
- 934
- 01:03:16,357 --> 01:03:17,815
- Oh, and that makes it all right?
- 935
- 01:03:18,566 --> 01:03:20,151
- What did you say?
- 936
- 01:03:21,111 --> 01:03:22,154
- Nothing.
- 937
- 01:03:22,404 --> 01:03:24,572
- - Stirling, are you going weak on me?
- - No.
- 938
- 01:03:24,990 --> 01:03:26,699
- - Are you going soft?
- - No.
- 939
- 01:03:27,158 --> 01:03:29,161
- I'm the only person
- who takes this threat seriously...
- 940
- 01:03:29,244 --> 01:03:30,286
- I take it seriously.
- 941
- 01:03:30,370 --> 01:03:32,331
- If you saw the files, if
- you saw the evidence,
- 942
- 01:03:32,413 --> 01:03:33,915
- I can't show you the
- stuff that I am seeing.
- 943
- 01:03:33,998 --> 01:03:35,960
- But the intelligence is frightening.
- 944
- 01:03:36,626 --> 01:03:37,669
- It is!
- 945
- 01:03:38,378 --> 01:03:41,256
- The people have a choice.
- Help me, or help them.
- 946
- 01:03:41,506 --> 01:03:42,799
- And now we're being told,
- 947
- 01:03:42,882 --> 01:03:45,426
- keep our hands tied behind our backs
- while they kick our lights out!
- 948
- 01:03:45,511 --> 01:03:46,970
- Stick to the rules.
- 949
- 01:03:47,638 --> 01:03:50,266
- Bring on the lawyers,
- is that what you want?
- 950
- 01:03:50,348 --> 01:03:52,351
- No. What I want is for you to survive.
- 951
- 01:03:52,433 --> 01:03:55,562
- I want you to be Prime Minister
- at this time next week.
- 952
- 01:03:55,645 --> 01:03:56,688
- That's what I want.
- 953
- 01:03:58,023 --> 01:04:00,608
- No, they won't get me. I'm ahead of them.
- 954
- 01:04:00,693 --> 01:04:02,318
- Always have been, always will be.
- 955
- 01:04:06,615 --> 01:04:08,284
- I'm sorry, sir. You really are needed.
- 956
- 01:04:09,909 --> 01:04:12,413
- That's the whole point, do you see?
- They want both things.
- 957
- 01:04:12,495 --> 01:04:15,373
- Like children. They need
- me and they resent me.
- 958
- 01:04:15,541 --> 01:04:16,708
- Both things.
- 959
- 01:04:16,834 --> 01:04:19,128
- And before you do anything,
- speak to me first.
- 960
- 01:04:21,505 --> 01:04:22,798
- Ted.
- 961
- 01:04:29,012 --> 01:04:31,390
- Well, the situation is quite clear,
- 962
- 01:04:31,473 --> 01:04:33,017
- everybody knows what is going on.
- 963
- 01:04:33,641 --> 01:04:36,896
- For days now the Prime Minister
- has been evading our questions.
- 964
- 01:04:37,396 --> 01:04:40,524
- We have to conclude
- he's not answering because he can't.
- 965
- 01:04:40,608 --> 01:04:42,734
- There are five questions
- we have asked the Prime Minister
- 966
- 01:04:42,817 --> 01:04:44,819
- that he has to answer.
- 967
- 01:04:44,903 --> 01:04:46,487
- If he can't answer them he should say so,
- 968
- 01:04:46,572 --> 01:04:48,531
- and he should say so now.
- 969
- 01:04:48,740 --> 01:04:50,951
- If he can and there is
- a simple explanation,
- 970
- 01:04:51,577 --> 01:04:54,413
- then no one is going to be happier
- than The Independent.
- 971
- 01:05:20,397 --> 01:05:22,607
- So, what do you think?
- 972
- 01:05:23,025 --> 01:05:24,568
- - He's wounded.
- - Fatally?
- 973
- 01:05:24,652 --> 01:05:26,487
- - Have you seen the five questions?
- - I have.
- 974
- 01:05:28,322 --> 01:05:30,616
- "Has the Prime Minister
- met with Church and Bethwaite?"
- 975
- 01:05:30,698 --> 01:05:32,825
- "Did the Prime Minister
- know the murdered man?"
- 976
- 01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:36,454
- "Did the Prime Minister
- know of their donations to The Bridge?"
- 977
- 01:05:36,580 --> 01:05:41,627
- "Was the Prime Minister aware of a network of
- illegal detention centres built by Gladstone?"
- 978
- 01:05:42,086 --> 01:05:45,880
- "Has the Prime Minister benefited
- personally from Gladstone?"
- 979
- 01:05:46,923 --> 01:05:48,342
- They're not bad questions.
- 980
- 01:05:50,051 --> 01:05:52,095
- Has he said anything? In private?
- In cabinet?
- 981
- 01:05:52,345 --> 01:05:55,265
- He's refusing on the grounds
- of national security.
- 982
- 01:05:55,432 --> 01:05:58,142
- It's not going to wash.
- 983
- 01:05:58,227 --> 01:06:00,312
- - Are you sure?
- - Certain.
- 984
- 01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,815
- I've known from the start.
- From the minute I first saw the evidence.
- 985
- 01:06:04,233 --> 01:06:05,276
- Mmm.
- 986
- 01:06:06,902 --> 01:06:09,405
- I am going to have to rally
- round him, publicly.
- 987
- 01:06:09,529 --> 01:06:10,905
- If you feel it's necessary.
- 988
- 01:06:10,990 --> 01:06:12,032
- I do. Very much so.
- 989
- 01:06:12,116 --> 01:06:13,158
- Be careful.
- 990
- 01:06:13,659 --> 01:06:15,368
- - Careful of what?
- - Your own future.
- 991
- 01:06:15,785 --> 01:06:17,203
- - Meaning?
- - Hostages to fortune.
- 992
- 01:06:17,288 --> 01:06:19,247
- How everything will look in a week.
- 993
- 01:06:25,921 --> 01:06:26,964
- How's Bill?
- 994
- 01:06:29,508 --> 01:06:30,717
- He's fine.
- 995
- 01:06:31,635 --> 01:06:33,137
- You're not going to divorce?
- 996
- 01:06:34,095 --> 01:06:36,681
- I'm not. Not yet.
- 997
- 01:06:37,223 --> 01:06:38,851
- Good. You shouldn't.
- 998
- 01:06:39,058 --> 01:06:40,269
- I won't.
- 999
- 01:06:40,351 --> 01:06:41,394
- Good.
- 1000
- 01:06:42,104 --> 01:06:43,479
- Why do You ask?
- 1001
- 01:06:45,273 --> 01:06:48,151
- What's that phrase about
- getting your ducks in a row?
- 1002
- 01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:56,284
- I will take one more question. I hope
- I have already made everything clear.
- 1003
- 01:06:56,368 --> 01:06:58,704
- I have returned all money
- received from Gladstone
- 1004
- 01:06:58,787 --> 01:07:01,332
- and I have personally
- resigned from the foundation
- 1005
- 01:07:01,414 --> 01:07:04,418
- to leave its reputation unharmed.
- 1006
- 01:07:04,752 --> 01:07:09,047
- At all times Alec Beasley
- has been separated
- 1007
- 01:07:09,131 --> 01:07:11,759
- from the day-to-day
- activities of The Bridge
- 1008
- 01:07:11,841 --> 01:07:13,385
- and any criticism regarding
- funding falls on me alone.
- 1009
- 01:07:13,468 --> 01:07:15,679
- He shouldn't have done it.
- He didn't need to.
- 1010
- 01:07:16,764 --> 01:07:18,474
- He said he was going to talk to me first.
- 1011
- 01:07:18,557 --> 01:07:20,975
- Don't know, perhaps he
- found the pressure unbearable.
- 1012
- 01:07:21,059 --> 01:07:22,518
- Pressure?
- 1013
- 01:07:22,602 --> 01:07:25,064
- Pressure is like whiplash,
- it doesn't exist.
- 1014
- 01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:42,998
- I've made my decision.
- 1015
- 01:07:48,378 --> 01:07:50,421
- We still need to find Worricker.
- 1016
- 01:07:50,505 --> 01:07:52,675
- Until we find him, we're
- not out of this yet.
- 1017
- 01:07:58,805 --> 01:07:59,847
- It's eerie.
- 1018
- 01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:03,268
- It's quiet, yes.
- 1019
- 01:08:08,773 --> 01:08:09,859
- Can we turn on the news?
- 1020
- 01:08:09,942 --> 01:08:12,569
- - We heard it an hour ago.
- - So?
- 1021
- 01:08:14,737 --> 01:08:16,991
- - I wouldn't do that.
- - Why not?
- 1022
- 01:08:17,073 --> 01:08:18,701
- It's the road to destruction.
- 1023
- 01:08:20,994 --> 01:08:22,036
- Hmm.
- 1024
- 01:08:25,456 --> 01:08:27,918
- - You always look out for me.
- - Always.
- 1025
- 01:08:29,420 --> 01:08:31,797
- - Where's Bernard?
- - He's saying matins.
- 1026
- 01:08:33,423 --> 01:08:35,384
- - No doubt alone.
- - He doesn't mind.
- 1027
- 01:08:35,467 --> 01:08:37,927
- He's talking to God.
- He doesn't care if anyone's listening.
- 1028
- 01:08:40,181 --> 01:08:41,347
- Why are you smiling?
- 1029
- 01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:47,854
- I know you better than
- anyone knows you, Johnny.
- 1030
- 01:08:47,980 --> 01:08:49,898
- I know where you're heading.
- 1031
- 01:08:49,982 --> 01:08:51,567
- I can see your end game.
- 1032
- 01:08:54,027 --> 01:08:55,069
- Rollo?
- 1033
- 01:08:55,153 --> 01:08:56,696
- - He's gone.
- - Who's gone?
- 1034
- 01:08:56,822 --> 01:08:59,282
- - Stirling Rogers.
- - Rogers has gone. What happened?
- 1035
- 01:08:59,450 --> 01:09:02,118
- He's giving a press conference,
- saying that the whole thing was his fault.
- 1036
- 01:09:02,201 --> 01:09:04,163
- Better still, he's saying
- the Prime Minister knew nothing.
- 1037
- 01:09:04,287 --> 01:09:05,330
- Yes!
- 1038
- 01:09:05,414 --> 01:09:07,332
- He's walking right into
- the trap, it appears.
- 1039
- 01:09:07,624 --> 01:09:09,960
- - You trust it? You think we've got him?
- - Let's hope so.
- 1040
- 01:09:11,128 --> 01:09:12,587
- Margot, don't touch it! I've got to go.
- 1041
- 01:09:12,713 --> 01:09:14,341
- - Why not?
- - You don't know who it's from.
- 1042
- 01:09:14,380 --> 01:09:15,632
- - It's Julianne.
- - It's not safe.
- 1043
- 01:09:15,633 --> 01:09:17,300
- Leave it, we should have destroyed it.
- 1044
- 01:09:17,384 --> 01:09:18,427
- - Margot?
- - Yes, it's me.
- 1045
- 01:09:18,511 --> 01:09:20,428
- I need to see you, desperately.
- 1046
- 01:09:20,513 --> 01:09:21,679
- Are you in the country?
- 1047
- 01:09:21,847 --> 01:09:22,972
- Something terrible's happened.
- 1048
- 01:09:23,056 --> 01:09:24,557
- - Julianne, is the baby all right?
- - Yes, yes.
- 1049
- 01:09:24,642 --> 01:09:27,185
- But can you tell Dad I need to see him?
- 1050
- 01:09:27,269 --> 01:09:28,562
- Yes, of course I will.
- 1051
- 01:09:28,646 --> 01:09:31,397
- And he must call immediately
- before you get here. Promise me.
- 1052
- 01:09:31,564 --> 01:09:33,733
- Don't worry, we're on the way.
- See you soon.
- 1053
- 01:09:37,696 --> 01:09:40,033
- OK, we are in business, it's good.
- I think we've got 'em.
- 1054
- 01:09:40,115 --> 01:09:41,158
- Where are they?
- 1055
- 01:09:41,532 --> 01:09:42,952
- We've got a signal.
- 1056
- 01:09:43,034 --> 01:09:45,662
- I'll know more in a minute,
- but it seems to be Kent.
- 1057
- 01:09:46,412 --> 01:09:48,581
- Johnny we have to go.
- Julianne says it's serious...
- 1058
- 01:09:48,666 --> 01:09:49,750
- Hold on a minute, give
- me a moment to think...
- 1059
- 01:09:49,832 --> 01:09:50,959
- There's no time to think.
- 1060
- 01:09:51,043 --> 01:09:53,711
- She said, "Can you tell
- Dad I need to see him?"
- 1061
- 01:09:53,795 --> 01:09:54,880
- Margot, we need to be careful.
- 1062
- 01:09:54,964 --> 01:09:56,422
- Johnny, it's your daughter!
- 1063
- 01:09:56,757 --> 01:09:59,844
- - I'm concerned the phone isn't safe.
- - Oh, fuck the phone!
- 1064
- 01:09:59,968 --> 01:10:01,470
- We can't go together.
- 1065
- 01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,472
- What difference does it make?
- When Julianne calls, you go.
- 1066
- 01:10:04,807 --> 01:10:06,141
- Do you have a problem with that?
- 1067
- 01:10:07,016 --> 01:10:09,603
- - How long have you been working on this?
- - Four months.
- 1068
- 01:10:10,186 --> 01:10:12,439
- - Just the four?
- - Exactly.
- 1069
- 01:10:13,774 --> 01:10:16,527
- OK, good here we go. Here's the location.
- 1070
- 01:10:17,026 --> 01:10:18,069
- Let's get going-
- 1071
- 01:10:21,782 --> 01:10:25,953
- I vehemently reject all allegations.
- 1072
- 01:10:26,035 --> 01:10:27,078
- But, I don't understand,
- 1073
- 01:10:27,161 --> 01:10:29,622
- if you're innocent of everything,
- why do you have to resign?
- 1074
- 01:10:32,418 --> 01:10:35,129
- - Yes?
- - Finally we've got them. Again.
- 1075
- 01:10:35,296 --> 01:10:37,214
- - Where are they?
- - He's in a rectory in Kent.
- 1076
- 01:10:37,338 --> 01:10:39,258
- But he's coming into town
- to see his daughter.
- 1077
- 01:10:40,009 --> 01:10:41,635
- Then please baby them in.
- 1078
- 01:10:41,718 --> 01:10:42,760
- I'm sorry?
- 1079
- 01:10:44,513 --> 01:10:47,016
- I don't want anyone moving towards them.
- 1080
- 01:10:48,766 --> 01:10:50,852
- - I've been working on this for months.
- - I know.
- 1081
- 01:10:51,644 --> 01:10:53,730
- I thought the idea was we were
- meant to be trying to catch them.
- 1082
- 01:10:54,272 --> 01:10:57,026
- We are. But don't detain them.
- Keep them under surveillance.
- 1083
- 01:10:57,108 --> 01:10:59,028
- Keep your distance. That's an order.
- 1084
- 01:10:59,612 --> 01:11:02,071
- Nobody's to go near them
- until they get an order from me.
- 1085
- 01:11:05,367 --> 01:11:06,701
- I don't believe this.
- 1086
- 01:11:09,662 --> 01:11:14,334
- If there was any offence,
- it's just from caring too much.
- 1087
- 01:11:19,297 --> 01:11:20,340
- Julianne.
- 1088
- 01:11:20,508 --> 01:11:21,674
- Margot.
- 1089
- 01:11:22,301 --> 01:11:23,384
- You OK?
- 1090
- 01:11:48,409 --> 01:11:49,746
- You were right. You
- were right to call us...
- 1091
- 01:11:49,773 --> 01:11:50,188
- It's Jez.
- 1092
- 01:11:50,246 --> 01:11:51,288
- - Jez?
- - Yes.
- 1093
- 01:11:51,372 --> 01:11:52,497
- - How do you know?
- - I've suspected for weeks.
- 1094
- 01:11:52,580 --> 01:11:54,040
- Well, then, why didn't you tell me?
- 1095
- 01:11:54,123 --> 01:11:55,960
- Why didn't I tell you?
- 1096
- 01:11:56,085 --> 01:11:57,962
- Why do you think? Because you never ring!
- 1097
- 01:11:58,836 --> 01:12:01,422
- And also, sorry, I don't
- want to live like that.
- 1098
- 01:12:01,506 --> 01:12:04,008
- Being suspicious of everyone.
- 1099
- 01:12:04,092 --> 01:12:06,887
- Jesus! Do I ever get a life
- that's not about you?
- 1100
- 01:12:06,971 --> 01:12:08,098
- "What does your father do?"
- 1101
- 01:12:08,179 --> 01:12:10,014
- "Oh, I can't say, he's
- in the civil service."
- 1102
- 01:12:10,057 --> 01:12:11,766
- As long as I can remember,
- "What's Dad doing?"
- 1103
- 01:12:11,849 --> 01:12:14,728
- "Don't know. Can't say."
- You ruined Mum's life.
- 1104
- 01:12:14,812 --> 01:12:16,020
- That's ridiculous.
- 1105
- 01:12:16,188 --> 01:12:18,189
- You ruin the life of
- everyone you're close to.
- 1106
- 01:12:19,232 --> 01:12:22,111
- I was in love with him!
- You've never known what that means.
- 1107
- 01:12:24,445 --> 01:12:25,863
- Human drama.
- 1108
- 01:12:26,156 --> 01:12:27,324
- She doesn't seem happy.
- 1109
- 01:12:27,574 --> 01:12:29,451
- - He did really work as a DJ?
- - Yes.
- 1110
- 01:12:29,534 --> 01:12:31,703
- - He did play in the evenings?
- - Yes.
- 1111
- 01:12:32,413 --> 01:12:35,873
- Everything else was a lie.
- Like he said he'd be here for the birth...
- 1112
- 01:12:35,957 --> 01:12:37,417
- - Julianne...
- - Which he won't.
- 1113
- 01:12:37,585 --> 01:12:39,670
- - Never had any intention of being.
- - OK.
- 1114
- 01:12:39,753 --> 01:12:41,422
- - Right from the start!
- - Julianne...
- 1115
- 01:12:41,504 --> 01:12:42,923
- - Just leave me.
- - Please.
- 1116
- 01:12:44,173 --> 01:12:46,552
- Every time she moves she gets closer to us.
- 1117
- 01:12:46,969 --> 01:12:49,138
- - Can you hear anything?
- - No.
- 1118
- 01:12:49,888 --> 01:12:51,348
- Lip-read.
- 1119
- 01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,351
- Don't come near me! Don't touch me!
- 1120
- 01:12:54,435 --> 01:12:57,145
- And then, when she's calm,
- I'll have dealt with her.
- 1121
- 01:12:57,354 --> 01:12:58,522
- That is not fair.
- 1122
- 01:12:58,606 --> 01:13:01,441
- Why don't you just say,
- "Julianne, I'm sorry, this is my fault"?
- 1123
- 01:13:01,525 --> 01:13:03,736
- - Julianne, I know it's my fault.
- - Good.
- 1124
- 01:13:03,819 --> 01:13:05,279
- Why do you think I'm in agony?
- 1125
- 01:13:05,362 --> 01:13:08,740
- Oh, you're in agony? Oh, really?
- 1126
- 01:13:09,782 --> 01:13:11,284
- Great. And for how long?
- 1127
- 01:13:11,619 --> 01:13:13,245
- He's standing there.
- 1128
- 01:13:13,828 --> 01:13:15,206
- Why can't we move in?
- 1129
- 01:13:17,750 --> 01:13:19,335
- Can anyone tell me what's going on?
- 1130
- 01:13:19,626 --> 01:13:20,668
- Yeah?
- 1131
- 01:13:20,752 --> 01:13:21,417
- Where are you?
- 1132
- 01:13:21,444 --> 01:13:23,864
- I am in London. I can't explain.
- It's a mess.
- 1133
- 01:13:24,173 --> 01:13:26,466
- Sorry, comrade, but we
- need to jump five stages.
- 1134
- 01:13:26,550 --> 01:13:28,802
- - I've just had a very interesting call.
- - Who from?
- 1135
- 01:13:29,469 --> 01:13:30,846
- I've got you a number. You need to call it.
- 1136
- 01:13:30,930 --> 01:13:32,932
- Because he's ahead of us.
- He's nine miles ahead.
- 1137
- 01:13:34,682 --> 01:13:36,392
- Is this who I think it is?
- 1138
- 01:13:36,851 --> 01:13:38,436
- 10 Downing Street.
- 1139
- 01:13:38,562 --> 01:13:39,896
- My name is Worricker.
- 1140
- 01:13:40,356 --> 01:13:41,564
- I think you'll find if you tell him,
- 1141
- 01:13:41,648 --> 01:13:43,816
- the Prime Minister, will
- want to have a word with me.
- 1142
- 01:13:43,859 --> 01:13:46,028
- - What name again?
- - Johnny Worricker.
- 1143
- 01:13:46,319 --> 01:13:48,030
- Hold on, will you please?
- 1144
- 01:13:48,279 --> 01:13:51,742
- Mr Finch, there's a man on the line
- called Johnny Worricker...
- 1145
- 01:13:55,119 --> 01:13:57,121
- Yes, thank you, please put him through.
- 1146
- 01:13:59,666 --> 01:14:01,669
- Hello, who am I speaking to?
- 1147
- 01:14:01,751 --> 01:14:03,170
- Is that you Mr Worricker?
- 1148
- 01:14:03,254 --> 01:14:04,587
- - Yes.
- - Good.
- 1149
- 01:14:04,672 --> 01:14:06,965
- I'm sure the Prime Minister
- would like you to come in immediately.
- 1150
- 01:14:07,048 --> 01:14:08,884
- - Come in?
- - To Downing Street.
- 1151
- 01:14:09,510 --> 01:14:12,054
- - Good.
- - Are you far away?
- 1152
- 01:14:13,013 --> 01:14:15,390
- Not at all. Less than a minute.
- 1153
- 01:14:16,349 --> 01:14:18,059
- Just one thing.
- 1154
- 01:14:18,142 --> 01:14:19,270
- Could you come in the back?
- 1155
- 01:14:42,584 --> 01:14:45,921
- My name is Johnny Worricker, I am expected.
- 1156
- 01:14:46,046 --> 01:14:47,089
- OK, sir.
- 1157
- 01:15:17,703 --> 01:15:21,664
- - Ah, here you are at last.
- - Prime Minister.
- 1158
- 01:15:23,666 --> 01:15:25,293
- The missing piece of the jigsaw.
- 1159
- 01:15:25,877 --> 01:15:26,920
- You can leave us.
- 1160
- 01:15:31,175 --> 01:15:33,260
- How was your spell as an émigré?
- 1161
- 01:15:33,344 --> 01:15:34,386
- Disconcerting.
- 1162
- 01:15:34,470 --> 01:15:36,221
- I'm sure.
- 1163
- 01:15:36,304 --> 01:15:38,057
- I needed to see you one more time.
- 1164
- 01:15:38,140 --> 01:15:39,517
- - Me too.
- - Please.
- 1165
- 01:15:48,191 --> 01:15:50,276
- We had a good talk in
- Cambridge six months ago,
- 1166
- 01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:53,572
- but then you went off
- and did the very opposite of what I asked.
- 1167
- 01:15:54,114 --> 01:15:55,824
- - You defied me.
- - Sir, if I may.
- 1168
- 01:15:56,532 --> 01:15:57,575
- Carry on.
- 1169
- 01:15:57,659 --> 01:16:01,788
- I accept that in the circumstances
- that I'm fair game, of course.
- 1170
- 01:16:01,871 --> 01:16:04,415
- But my daughter's flat is being bugged.
- 1171
- 01:16:04,499 --> 01:16:08,754
- An MI5 operative seduced her
- when she was already pregnant.
- 1172
- 01:16:08,838 --> 01:16:10,881
- My daughter isn't fair game.
- 1173
- 01:16:10,965 --> 01:16:12,883
- Go after me, don't go after her.
- 1174
- 01:16:13,883 --> 01:16:14,926
- I agree.
- 1175
- 01:16:16,427 --> 01:16:17,971
- - I'm sorry?
- - You're right.
- 1176
- 01:16:18,054 --> 01:16:19,389
- Mutual hysteria.
- 1177
- 01:16:20,391 --> 01:16:21,934
- Isn't it time it was defused?
- 1178
- 01:16:26,896 --> 01:16:28,649
- I'll tell you what I've been thinking,
- 1179
- 01:16:30,109 --> 01:16:32,527
- I've accomplished pretty
- much all I set out to do.
- 1180
- 01:16:32,736 --> 01:16:33,946
- We've modernized the country
- 1181
- 01:16:34,028 --> 01:16:37,657
- and we may even have alerted its people
- to some of the dangers they face.
- 1182
- 01:16:37,740 --> 01:16:40,326
- I don't understand. Are you resigning?
- 1183
- 01:16:40,410 --> 01:16:42,788
- You're not getting my scalp,
- if that's what you hope.
- 1184
- 01:16:43,371 --> 01:16:45,249
- I'm not moving out, I'm moving up.
- 1185
- 01:16:47,584 --> 01:16:49,420
- It's Iran we have to deal with now.
- 1186
- 01:16:49,503 --> 01:16:51,838
- And I'm not fussy about
- what platform I work from.
- 1187
- 01:16:53,549 --> 01:16:56,135
- Perhaps a sympathetic American President
- means more to me
- 1188
- 01:16:56,218 --> 01:16:58,136
- than an ambivalent British electorate.
- 1189
- 01:16:58,220 --> 01:16:59,972
- You're planning to move on to another job?
- 1190
- 01:17:00,054 --> 01:17:01,348
- - Correct.
- - What job is that?
- 1191
- 01:17:02,057 --> 01:17:03,850
- Consul General to Iran.
- 1192
- 01:17:04,350 --> 01:17:05,476
- I run the peace talks.
- 1193
- 01:17:05,561 --> 01:17:06,604
- Peace?
- 1194
- 01:17:06,687 --> 01:17:08,898
- Well... Preferably peace.
- 1195
- 01:17:09,022 --> 01:17:10,064
- Answering to whom?
- 1196
- 01:17:10,148 --> 01:17:13,276
- Financed by the Americans,
- but given cover by the UN.
- 1197
- 01:17:15,278 --> 01:17:19,158
- Forgive me, I'm not sure you're going to be
- able to cut free as easily as that.
- 1198
- 01:17:19,283 --> 01:17:20,617
- - Aren't you?
- - No.
- 1199
- 01:17:20,826 --> 01:17:21,911
- Is that a threat?
- 1200
- 01:17:21,993 --> 01:17:23,036
- Not at all.
- 1201
- 01:17:23,119 --> 01:17:24,955
- Tell me, are you running a campaign?
- 1202
- 01:17:25,039 --> 01:17:26,373
- Because that's how it looks.
- 1203
- 01:17:27,832 --> 01:17:30,460
- A single intelligence officer
- determined to stop me.
- 1204
- 01:17:32,755 --> 01:17:34,215
- What are you?
- 1205
- 01:17:35,382 --> 01:17:36,509
- A loose cannon?
- 1206
- 01:17:38,093 --> 01:17:39,136
- A traitor?
- 1207
- 01:17:45,934 --> 01:17:48,312
- Well, then, what are you doing?
- 1208
- 01:17:49,812 --> 01:17:52,691
- - Judiciously pointing out the dangers.
- - Such as?
- 1209
- 01:17:53,484 --> 01:17:55,401
- There's a new boss at the CIA.
- 1210
- 01:17:55,485 --> 01:17:57,111
- - Yes, you're right.
- - With new plans.
- 1211
- 01:17:57,196 --> 01:17:58,655
- Wants to make a clean break.
- 1212
- 01:17:58,739 --> 01:18:00,282
- The President's already
- had a word with him.
- 1213
- 01:18:00,366 --> 01:18:04,537
- I think you'll find any future
- CIA investigations into private contractors
- 1214
- 01:18:04,786 --> 01:18:06,622
- will get bogged down pretty quickly.
- 1215
- 01:18:07,872 --> 01:18:09,667
- People don't like investigating each other,
- 1216
- 01:18:09,750 --> 01:18:13,546
- because they are aware that later
- they may be investigated themselves.
- 1217
- 01:18:14,254 --> 01:18:16,966
- If you talk to the President, you'll
- find he's pretty clear on the subject.
- 1218
- 01:18:17,049 --> 01:18:19,926
- After all, one day he's going to be
- an ex-President too.
- 1219
- 01:18:20,927 --> 01:18:22,304
- - And here?
- - Here?
- 1220
- 01:18:22,388 --> 01:18:23,430
- - Yes.
- - In the UK?
- 1221
- 01:18:23,555 --> 01:18:25,307
- You don't think you face problems here?
- 1222
- 01:18:25,391 --> 01:18:27,141
- Well, I don't see any.
- 1223
- 01:18:27,267 --> 01:18:30,353
- My favoured successor is hardly likely
- to waste her first hundred days
- 1224
- 01:18:30,436 --> 01:18:32,731
- digging too deeply
- into the financial affairs of The Bridge.
- 1225
- 01:18:32,815 --> 01:18:34,649
- And to what end?
- 1226
- 01:18:34,733 --> 01:18:37,403
- Anthea's experiencing a period
- of personal good fortune.
- 1227
- 01:18:37,486 --> 01:18:39,029
- Maybe you read about it?
- 1228
- 01:18:40,154 --> 01:18:43,950
- When it comes to sleeping dogs,
- Anthea's the kind who'll let them lie.
- 1229
- 01:18:46,995 --> 01:18:50,875
- What is it they say?
- "The establishment always wins."
- 1230
- 01:18:51,959 --> 01:18:55,338
- You should know that. You're a distinguished
- member of the establishment yourself.
- 1231
- 01:18:58,464 --> 01:19:00,592
- What did you think we were going to do?
- 1232
- 01:19:02,344 --> 01:19:03,761
- Bleach you?
- 1233
- 01:19:05,346 --> 01:19:07,600
- We don't bleach people in England.
- 1234
- 01:19:09,810 --> 01:19:13,272
- No home. No bank account. No security.
- 1235
- 01:19:13,355 --> 01:19:16,232
- No way of life, hundred
- percent surveillance.
- 1236
- 01:19:16,316 --> 01:19:17,901
- You know the drill.
- 1237
- 01:19:18,152 --> 01:19:21,487
- You've done it to others,
- now, we'll do it to you.
- 1238
- 01:19:34,542 --> 01:19:35,585
- What are you offering?
- 1239
- 01:19:36,002 --> 01:19:37,045
- Good question.
- 1240
- 01:19:37,463 --> 01:19:38,588
- An amnesty?
- 1241
- 01:19:39,507 --> 01:19:40,549
- Johnny...
- 1242
- 01:19:42,258 --> 01:19:44,053
- In the last few years
- 1243
- 01:19:44,136 --> 01:19:48,640
- the government moved at a certain speed
- because we faced an overwhelming threat.
- 1244
- 01:19:50,392 --> 01:19:51,852
- This is the real world.
- 1245
- 01:19:51,936 --> 01:19:55,523
- There's always a tension
- between aims and means.
- 1246
- 01:19:55,897 --> 01:19:57,941
- Maybe even a contradiction.
- 1247
- 01:19:59,525 --> 01:20:02,488
- I'll live with that. The
- question is, can you?
- 1248
- 01:20:05,365 --> 01:20:06,824
- We need your silence.
- 1249
- 01:20:11,079 --> 01:20:13,998
- I'm to be silent about lawlessness?
- 1250
- 01:20:15,792 --> 01:20:18,169
- Permanently and guaranteed.
- 1251
- 01:20:18,294 --> 01:20:19,879
- You've got to think what that means.
- 1252
- 01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:24,844
- I've thought about it a great deal.
- 1253
- 01:20:26,470 --> 01:20:28,638
- You make a deal, you go back on it...
- 1254
- 01:20:30,306 --> 01:20:32,226
- In my world you only do that once.
- 1255
- 01:20:42,570 --> 01:20:45,781
- Now, if you will forgive me
- I have to go to the Palace.
- 1256
- 01:20:46,574 --> 01:20:48,950
- I'd offer you a lift, but
- you might be conspicuous.
- 1257
- 01:20:50,369 --> 01:20:53,663
- Anyway, I imagine you have to report
- to that crapulous Scot in the park.
- 1258
- 01:20:53,746 --> 01:20:55,206
- I don't report to him.
- 1259
- 01:20:55,290 --> 01:20:56,374
- No?
- 1260
- 01:20:59,753 --> 01:21:01,380
- You say you'd like your
- daughter to be left alone.
- 1261
- 01:21:01,462 --> 01:21:03,715
- - I would.
- - And your girlfriend too, I should think.
- 1262
- 01:21:04,508 --> 01:21:06,676
- She's a very interesting woman, isn't she?
- 1263
- 01:21:06,759 --> 01:21:09,304
- This one really is something more
- than run of the mill.
- 1264
- 01:21:11,514 --> 01:21:13,600
- You're a lucky man, aren't you?
- 1265
- 01:21:13,684 --> 01:21:15,978
- You never seem to suffer for your mistakes.
- 1266
- 01:21:17,312 --> 01:21:18,354
- What a gift.
- 1267
- 01:21:20,231 --> 01:21:22,610
- Oh, we're both cats who fall on our feet.
- 1268
- 01:21:22,859 --> 01:21:23,902
- Ted!
- 1269
- 01:21:24,485 --> 01:21:27,071
- Mr Worricker's leaving.
- We won't be seeing him again.
- 1270
- 01:21:43,379 --> 01:21:44,465
- So, what's happening?
- 1271
- 01:21:44,548 --> 01:21:46,008
- - He's quitting.
- - Quitting?
- 1272
- 01:21:46,091 --> 01:21:48,260
- He moves onto Iran. It's a promotion.
- 1273
- 01:21:48,968 --> 01:21:51,347
- Promotion? Is that what he's calling it?
- 1274
- 01:21:51,430 --> 01:21:54,224
- This doesn't feel like a victory.
- Why does this not feel like a victory?
- 1275
- 01:21:54,307 --> 01:21:56,851
- Obvious. Because I don't think
- we've ever been in control.
- 1276
- 01:21:56,935 --> 01:21:58,895
- You're to call Jill Tankard.
- She wants to see you.
- 1277
- 01:21:58,978 --> 01:22:00,606
- - Where?
- - Wherever you say.
- 1278
- 01:22:00,689 --> 01:22:02,482
- - She knows I'm with you?
- - Seems to.
- 1279
- 01:22:02,565 --> 01:22:04,860
- Yes, well, of course. That fits.
- We've been used.
- 1280
- 01:22:04,944 --> 01:22:06,736
- All the time they've known everything.
- 1281
- 01:22:06,819 --> 01:22:08,113
- - Are you going to go?
- - I don't know.
- 1282
- 01:22:08,196 --> 01:22:09,948
- I'm trying to get hold of Julianne.
- She not answering.
- 1283
- 01:22:10,323 --> 01:22:11,617
- Fuck!
- 1284
- 01:22:11,742 --> 01:22:13,910
- - I'm trying Margot.
- - I left them together.
- 1285
- 01:22:17,163 --> 01:22:18,582
- Shit!
- 1286
- 01:22:21,168 --> 01:22:22,711
- - Johnny...
- - Yes?
- 1287
- 01:22:22,961 --> 01:22:24,797
- If you do see Jill, can you do me a favour?
- 1288
- 01:22:28,049 --> 01:22:29,676
- Try and get me back in.
- 1289
- 01:22:48,654 --> 01:22:50,281
- Welcome back.
- 1290
- 01:22:51,447 --> 01:22:54,117
- I heard you had a nice time with Alec.
- 1291
- 01:22:54,368 --> 01:22:55,452
- Jill.
- 1292
- 01:22:55,702 --> 01:22:57,955
- It's a shame you two never got close.
- 1293
- 01:22:58,246 --> 01:23:00,791
- They always say it's difficult
- if two men are too alike.
- 1294
- 01:23:01,208 --> 01:23:03,752
- One of those boys' love-hate things, is it?
- 1295
- 01:23:09,425 --> 01:23:10,800
- It's happening. Now.
- 1296
- 01:23:11,552 --> 01:23:13,137
- - Even as we speak.
- - What is?
- 1297
- 01:23:13,637 --> 01:23:15,054
- He's seeing the Queen.
- 1298
- 01:23:15,222 --> 01:23:16,891
- - You must be pleased.
- - Why?
- 1299
- 01:23:17,308 --> 01:23:20,226
- Well, wasn't it your
- idea to bring him down?
- 1300
- 01:23:21,185 --> 01:23:22,646
- It's interesting you should say that.
- 1301
- 01:23:22,729 --> 01:23:25,356
- As a matter of fact, Jill,
- I rather thought it was yours.
- 1302
- 01:23:26,482 --> 01:23:28,360
- - Mr Worricker.
- - Aha!
- 1303
- 01:23:28,444 --> 01:23:30,279
- We haven't seen you for such a long time.
- 1304
- 01:23:30,362 --> 01:23:31,696
- I've missed you too.
- 1305
- 01:23:31,906 --> 01:23:34,491
- We still have a bottle
- of scotch in the back.
- 1306
- 01:23:35,783 --> 01:23:37,161
- Do you mind fetching it?
- 1307
- 01:23:39,705 --> 01:23:42,333
- I tell you, I had my suspicions
- for quite a long time.
- 1308
- 01:23:42,416 --> 01:23:43,501
- Really?
- 1309
- 01:23:43,583 --> 01:23:47,754
- I noticed things were strangely easy,
- as if our paths were being smoothed.
- 1310
- 01:23:47,837 --> 01:23:51,383
- - I mean, the choice of Amber Page...
- - What about her?
- 1311
- 01:23:52,343 --> 01:23:54,803
- Never our most brilliant agent, was she?
- 1312
- 01:23:54,887 --> 01:23:55,971
- She did the job.
- 1313
- 01:23:56,055 --> 01:23:57,138
- Yeah, badly.
- 1314
- 01:23:57,222 --> 01:23:59,016
- Amber did her best.
- 1315
- 01:23:59,265 --> 01:24:01,644
- Yes, that's what I mean.
- 1316
- 01:24:03,019 --> 01:24:05,356
- - And that business in Kiev...
- - Kiev, yes.
- 1317
- 01:24:05,480 --> 01:24:06,731
- Had your fingerprints all over it.
- 1318
- 01:24:06,815 --> 01:24:08,400
- You think so? You liked that, did you?
- 1319
- 01:24:08,484 --> 01:24:11,361
- I liked it, I wasn't sure
- why Beasley had agreed to it.
- 1320
- 01:24:11,444 --> 01:24:12,613
- It wasn't in his interest.
- 1321
- 01:24:12,696 --> 01:24:14,030
- I didn't ask Beasley. I didn't need to.
- 1322
- 01:24:14,114 --> 01:24:15,241
- How did you do that?
- 1323
- 01:24:15,324 --> 01:24:18,201
- I've been a long time
- in Whitehall, remember?
- 1324
- 01:24:18,285 --> 01:24:19,619
- I'm a databank, Johnny.
- 1325
- 01:24:20,412 --> 01:24:24,625
- And, please, don't make this out
- to be some sort of coup.
- 1326
- 01:24:24,791 --> 01:24:25,833
- Why? Wasn't it?
- 1327
- 01:24:25,917 --> 01:24:29,213
- No. I wouldn't dream of messing
- with the electorate's wishes.
- 1328
- 01:24:29,296 --> 01:24:30,756
- That's way above my pay-grade.
- 1329
- 01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:31,924
- What would you call it then?
- 1330
- 01:24:32,007 --> 01:24:34,051
- All I did was make some preparations.
- 1331
- 01:24:34,134 --> 01:24:38,681
- That's all I did for an orderly hand-over,
- as any good democrat would.
- 1332
- 01:24:40,307 --> 01:24:41,350
- That's very good.
- 1333
- 01:24:42,434 --> 01:24:43,685
- Thank you.
- 1334
- 01:24:43,811 --> 01:24:48,190
- I smoothed the way. I made what
- would have been difficult, easy.
- 1335
- 01:24:49,775 --> 01:24:51,610
- What I don't understand...
- Why did you do it?
- 1336
- 01:24:51,652 --> 01:24:54,780
- Beasley was on your side.
- Your whole life. You owe him everything.
- 1337
- 01:24:54,864 --> 01:24:56,365
- He was the one who put you in place.
- 1338
- 01:24:56,490 --> 01:24:57,950
- - Why did I do it?
- - Yes.
- 1339
- 01:24:58,033 --> 01:25:00,494
- Simple. Same reason as you.
- 1340
- 01:25:01,786 --> 01:25:03,871
- Johnny, I saw the evidence.
- 1341
- 01:25:03,955 --> 01:25:06,666
- When I saw the evidence,
- I knew he was finished.
- 1342
- 01:25:07,918 --> 01:25:10,169
- Ah, thank you, you're very kind.
- 1343
- 01:25:11,296 --> 01:25:13,215
- It belonged to Mr Baron.
- 1344
- 01:25:13,716 --> 01:25:15,676
- We didn't know what to do with it.
- 1345
- 01:25:17,969 --> 01:25:19,637
- We all loved Mr Baron.
- 1346
- 01:25:20,096 --> 01:25:21,515
- I'll look after it, thank you.
- 1347
- 01:25:21,849 --> 01:25:23,142
- I miss him.
- 1348
- 01:25:23,725 --> 01:25:24,893
- We all miss him.
- 1349
- 01:25:35,446 --> 01:25:38,281
- Looking back at the events
- of the past few years,
- 1350
- 01:25:39,449 --> 01:25:42,411
- I don't think either of us
- has been wholly right or wrong.
- 1351
- 01:25:43,661 --> 01:25:45,497
- Life doesn't work like that, does it?
- 1352
- 01:25:46,498 --> 01:25:50,669
- I can see your point of view
- and I suspect that you can see mine.
- 1353
- 01:25:52,129 --> 01:25:53,255
- You know what I want for you?
- 1354
- 01:25:53,339 --> 01:25:54,757
- I've got a fair idea.
- 1355
- 01:25:55,257 --> 01:25:58,218
- You're the best intelligence
- analyst I ever met.
- 1356
- 01:25:58,301 --> 01:26:00,513
- And I'm the best administrator.
- 1357
- 01:26:00,596 --> 01:26:02,015
- The new Prime Minister's coming in
- 1358
- 01:26:02,097 --> 01:26:04,683
- with warm feelings towards
- the intelligence services.
- 1359
- 01:26:04,767 --> 01:26:06,059
- You've made sure of that.
- 1360
- 01:26:06,185 --> 01:26:07,269
- Yes.
- 1361
- 01:26:07,353 --> 01:26:10,730
- After what I've done for her,
- these are going to be golden years.
- 1362
- 01:26:11,565 --> 01:26:13,399
- We get everything we want.
- 1363
- 01:26:17,487 --> 01:26:19,030
- I'd like you to join me.
- 1364
- 01:26:23,077 --> 01:26:25,470
- You're forgetting, I've
- got other obligations.
- 1365
- 01:26:25,497 --> 01:26:26,565
- People depend on me.
- 1366
- 01:26:27,330 --> 01:26:28,749
- - What sort of people?
- - My daughter.
- 1367
- 01:26:28,791 --> 01:26:31,877
- I can promise, come back to work
- and she won't be troubled again.
- 1368
- 01:26:32,753 --> 01:26:33,796
- Rollo.
- 1369
- 01:26:33,879 --> 01:26:37,091
- Well, I'm sure we can bring him back
- into the fucking fold.
- 1370
- 01:26:37,174 --> 01:26:38,800
- And most important of all,
- 1371
- 01:26:40,009 --> 01:26:41,052
- there's Margot.
- 1372
- 01:26:41,804 --> 01:26:42,847
- Ah, yes, Margot.
- 1373
- 01:26:46,724 --> 01:26:48,726
- You hugging that scotch to yourself?
- 1374
- 01:27:01,574 --> 01:27:03,117
- Hasn't worked out, has it, Johnny?
- 1375
- 01:27:04,285 --> 01:27:05,451
- What makes you say that?
- 1376
- 01:27:05,910 --> 01:27:09,356
- Come on, I mean, give
- us some credit please.
- 1377
- 01:27:09,383 --> 01:27:11,067
- We are professionals.
- 1378
- 01:27:11,624 --> 01:27:14,086
- You love falling in love, don't you?
- 1379
- 01:27:14,170 --> 01:27:16,838
- Just not so good at being in it.
- 1380
- 01:27:20,217 --> 01:27:22,260
- Come back to Millbank
- 1381
- 01:27:22,344 --> 01:27:25,639
- and you're going to be able to
- make her a very attractive offer.
- 1382
- 01:27:26,056 --> 01:27:27,390
- What offer is that?
- 1383
- 01:27:28,391 --> 01:27:30,186
- For the rest of her life,
- 1384
- 01:27:30,435 --> 01:27:32,938
- she's going to be able
- to walk down the street
- 1385
- 01:27:33,272 --> 01:27:34,689
- and not look behind her.
- 1386
- 01:27:36,274 --> 01:27:37,943
- That's not nothing, Johnny.
- 1387
- 01:27:40,779 --> 01:27:42,947
- I have a feeling she's going to take it.
- 1388
- 01:27:43,031 --> 01:27:44,532
- You don't know her.
- 1389
- 01:27:45,784 --> 01:27:47,536
- Oh, I think I do.
- 1390
- 01:27:53,250 --> 01:27:56,127
- I am going to keep this statement brief.
- 1391
- 01:27:58,213 --> 01:28:02,217
- I've always said I would leave office
- at a time of my own choosing
- 1392
- 01:28:02,300 --> 01:28:05,763
- and only when I had finished the job
- that I was elected to do.
- 1393
- 01:28:09,682 --> 01:28:11,184
- This is that time.
- 1394
- 01:28:13,062 --> 01:28:15,730
- I leave you strong and I leave you secure.
- 1395
- 01:28:18,734 --> 01:28:21,737
- I'm very conscious of the sacrifices
- this government has asked you to make...
- 1396
- 01:28:21,820 --> 01:28:24,614
- Congratulations! You just
- brought down a government.
- 1397
- 01:28:24,697 --> 01:28:26,033
- Did I really?
- 1398
- 01:28:26,992 --> 01:28:30,036
- I know someone did but I'm not sure who.
- 1399
- 01:28:30,995 --> 01:28:34,165
- I will be resigning my seat
- as a Member of Parliament immediately.
- 1400
- 01:28:43,676 --> 01:28:46,594
- Any MP will tell you that
- the most important people in their life
- 1401
- 01:28:48,137 --> 01:28:49,681
- are the people who elect them.
- 1402
- 01:28:50,807 --> 01:28:52,184
- Shall we go out and celebrate?
- 1403
- 01:28:52,267 --> 01:28:56,521
- All right. I'll finish the story,
- then, yes, let's go and get drunk.
- 1404
- 01:29:17,834 --> 01:29:19,170
- What are you doing?
- 1405
- 01:29:22,882 --> 01:29:24,508
- I was going to leave you a note.
- 1406
- 01:29:25,009 --> 01:29:26,385
- What kind of note?
- 1407
- 01:29:26,969 --> 01:29:28,012
- A goodbye note.
- 1408
- 01:29:30,805 --> 01:29:32,473
- You knew it was coming.
- 1409
- 01:29:34,894 --> 01:29:37,103
- I feared it. But I didn't know.
- 1410
- 01:29:40,940 --> 01:29:41,983
- Where's Julianne?
- 1411
- 01:29:42,901 --> 01:29:44,527
- - She's at the hospital.
- - What?
- 1412
- 01:29:44,612 --> 01:29:45,821
- It's all right. She doesn't want you to go.
- 1413
- 01:29:45,905 --> 01:29:47,113
- "All right"?
- 1414
- 01:29:47,196 --> 01:29:48,282
- Why is it all right?
- 1415
- 01:29:48,365 --> 01:29:49,782
- Because her mother's with her.
- 1416
- 01:29:50,658 --> 01:29:52,161
- It's going to be a long labour.
- 1417
- 01:29:52,243 --> 01:29:53,286
- Can I call?
- 1418
- 01:29:53,411 --> 01:29:55,289
- No. She's still angry.
- 1419
- 01:29:57,708 --> 01:29:59,418
- She says you can call in the morning.
- 1420
- 01:30:01,211 --> 01:30:02,253
- OK.
- 1421
- 01:30:04,714 --> 01:30:06,008
- Then I will.
- 1422
- 01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:21,981
- And you? Where are you heading?
- 1423
- 01:30:22,399 --> 01:30:24,609
- Oh. A start-up in Hong Kong.
- 1424
- 01:30:25,235 --> 01:30:27,947
- - Really?
- - Yeah.
- 1425
- 01:30:28,572 --> 01:30:32,325
- Well, that's... That's a long way.
- 1426
- 01:30:33,534 --> 01:30:35,913
- Yeah, well, I've been approached.
- 1427
- 01:30:36,830 --> 01:30:38,748
- A guy I knew through Stirling.
- 1428
- 01:30:39,875 --> 01:30:42,293
- He wants to sell clothes on the Internet.
- 1429
- 01:30:42,711 --> 01:30:44,296
- He sees a gap in the market.
- 1430
- 01:30:44,420 --> 01:30:47,006
- - Does he have a lot of money?
- - Not a penny.
- 1431
- 01:30:47,883 --> 01:30:49,343
- That's why he needs someone smart.
- 1432
- 01:30:49,426 --> 01:30:52,388
- Margot, I made you a lot of promises
- back in Turks and Caicos.
- 1433
- 01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:55,348
- I want to keep them. Say
- the word and I will.
- 1434
- 01:30:57,726 --> 01:31:00,729
- I knew, when it came down to it,
- you'd always want to go back to work.
- 1435
- 01:31:01,688 --> 01:31:04,024
- What, I just walk away
- from everything, do I?
- 1436
- 01:31:04,108 --> 01:31:05,609
- Is that the right thing to do?
- 1437
- 01:31:05,692 --> 01:31:06,986
- I don't think so.
- 1438
- 01:31:07,402 --> 01:31:10,239
- These days, everyone feels powerless,
- I understand that.
- 1439
- 01:31:10,322 --> 01:31:11,531
- That's what they want you to feel.
- 1440
- 01:31:11,614 --> 01:31:13,868
- But if we don't fight, who will?
- 1441
- 01:31:15,494 --> 01:31:17,997
- Johnny, you know these people.
- 1442
- 01:31:18,122 --> 01:31:20,666
- They slide around, they have nothing solid.
- 1443
- 01:31:21,916 --> 01:31:25,003
- For them, it's simply one day to the next.
- 1444
- 01:31:25,211 --> 01:31:26,881
- They believe what they have to,
- 1445
- 01:31:26,964 --> 01:31:29,716
- and then when the time comes,
- they believe something else.
- 1446
- 01:31:30,717 --> 01:31:33,220
- For them, nothing is ever at stake.
- 1447
- 01:31:33,928 --> 01:31:35,054
- Look, I know what you're saying,
- 1448
- 01:31:35,139 --> 01:31:38,475
- but even so, if it's what you want,
- I can get you back in.
- 1449
- 01:31:38,558 --> 01:31:41,769
- I've watched you the last few months,
- you're brilliant at it. You love it.
- 1450
- 01:31:42,228 --> 01:31:43,689
- Yes.
- 1451
- 01:31:45,481 --> 01:31:46,775
- But I love you more.
- 1452
- 01:31:57,952 --> 01:32:00,247
- It was quite an adventure, wasn't it?
- 1453
- 01:32:03,625 --> 01:32:04,667
- Yeah.
- 1454
- 01:32:07,087 --> 01:32:10,340
- - I wouldn't have missed it.
- - Me neither.
- 1455
- 01:32:13,302 --> 01:32:14,719
- I wish we'd done more.
- 1456
- 01:32:16,679 --> 01:32:21,185
- No, Johnny, we did plenty.
- 1457
- 01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:41,204
- I'm going in the morning.
- 1458
- 01:32:41,788 --> 01:32:43,165
- Why don't you just leave?
- 1459
- 01:32:49,171 --> 01:32:50,214
- I'll miss you.
- 1460
- 01:32:51,924 --> 01:32:52,967
- Yes.
- 1461
- 01:32:54,635 --> 01:32:55,970
- I'll miss you too.
- 1462
- 01:33:34,258 --> 01:33:37,386
- - All right. Very good. Very good.
- 1463
- 01:33:38,970 --> 01:33:40,389
- OK. OK.
- 1464
- 01:34:16,716 --> 01:34:21,304
- I just want to say, it's far too early for me
- to be making any decision about the future.
- 1465
- 01:34:21,387 --> 01:34:25,309
- I'm part of a family
- and I want to talk to my family first.
- 1466
- 01:34:25,975 --> 01:34:29,480
- Meanwhile, let's remember Alec Beasley.
- 1467
- 01:34:30,022 --> 01:34:33,025
- It's his night. Let's leave it with him.
- 1468
- 01:34:40,198 --> 01:34:42,826
- Well done.
- Big one now, big one.
