So, what do we do now?

FAR-OFF LAUGHTER

If biscuits are a rare event here,

- then cake is absolutely unheard of!
- THEY ALL CHUCKLE

This is a real celebration,
Mr Petrukhin!

Come, Mr Samuel.
Let's get the signing under way!

I can't agree to this yet.

What? What's the matter?

I want to take these documents away
and have a further look at them.

But we've seen them already!
And the lawyers have looked at them.

Why am I not dealing directly
with the authorities?

The RAF?

The Secret Service gives you a clean
bill of health, Mr Petrukhin.

That's how it works.

I would like to see
the head of your department

as soon as possible, please.

Why?

Because I think that is
the correct thing to do.

Now... I will leave you, gentlemen.

Go back. I have nothing for you.

Go back!

Go on!

Go! Shoo!

Do you want to get out
of this place, too?

- Mr Petrukhin, hold on a moment.
- What is it?

I just wanted to say I'll arrange
for you to meet Dick Armstrong.

He's the head of the department.

He's seen you before, actually,

fitting hearing aids
to the members of his club.

OK?

Come on, Guy. The gentleman
wants to get away.

FAR-OFF PNEUMATIC DRILL

Yes?

This is No. 14?

Yes.

Yes?

You don't have an Anthony Shaw
staying here?

No - this is not a boarding house
any more, madam,

nobody's staying here.

I couldn't come in, could I?

No, we run a little business here.

TYPEWRITERS CLACK

We type up manuscripts,
as you can see.

We type everything, from legal
documents to people's novels.

Not many of those get published,
though.

- And upstairs?
- More of the same.

Madam?

Madam!

Are you satisfied now, madam?

There's nobody staying here,
I told you.

Do you have forwarding addresses for
the people that were living here?

We do not, madam, no.

When did it stop being a boarding
house? Three years ago.

Mr Burridge sold it to us.
Now, if you could please...

Then how can I find him?
I must to speak to him urgently.

He moved to South Africa.
I don't have an address.

Have you ever seen this young man?

- I haven't, madam, no.
- Please, look carefully.

I have not, no.

Have any of you ever seen this man?

These manuscripts... did he ever
bring anything in to be typed?

Please, try to remember.

See, he's my son,

and I'm sorry to come charging in
here to your office,

but he's my son, you see,
and he's missing.

As I said,
I've never seen him before.

Have you ever seen this young man?

He used to live over there.

- You never saw him?
- No.

You don't know where they went?
The people who lived there?

I don't, no.

- Would any of your neighbours know?
- I don't know.

We keep ourselves to ourselves here.

Are we there yet?

Yes, we're here!

It says "The Moon" -
there's a notice.

We're supposed to be
the first ones here!

Oh, right.

He IS funny.

He's sort of funny and angry
at the same time!

I always loved him.

I will not pay, do you hear?

I'm DEFINITELY not paying
half a crown.

It's only thruppence in Hastings!

Hello? Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Max, I don't believe it.
We're in luck!

We're in luck?!

They're charging us half a crown
for the deck chairs

and we're all alone on the Moon
and we're in luck?!

A Woolworths sign!

Now, we can buy ANYTHING we want!

- Mr Samuel!
- Not now, Courtney, not now!

What's he saying, Esther?

He's saying, "It's madness Mr Samuel
hasn't signed the contract."

You haven't told me why.
And you have to tell me why.

I need to know that we can trust
Mr Field.

Trust! What do you mean, trust?

This is the bloody government
we're talking about.

I want to know exactly
who we're dealing with,

and that is why I have requested
to speak to a more senior person.

But that could take months,
by which time we'll be bust.

Well, I will make sure
that it doesn't take months.

Mr Samuel,
once the military start using it,

the hospitals will follow.

This will stop some people dying.

Most certainly.

But if we don't act now,

someone else is going to do it,

and we'll have lost everything!

You can't let that happen.

Ah, Mrs Shaw...

I did knock, but you obviously
didn't hear me.

Ah, yes, ah... we're looking
for something that I've mislaid.

I have news, Mr Spearman.

The property has changed hands.

The owner is now living in
South Africa - a Mr Burridge.

If you could...

It never really tastes of coffee,
but there we are.

If you could trace him,

and find out if he has any
forwarding addresses, any records,

and if you could interview
people in the street -

I wasn't particularly good
at that part. Yes.

I will do all these things.

- Immediately?
- Immediately.

It's amazing news, isn't it?

It means he WAS alive,
h-he didn't just disappear to...

To kill himself?

Yes!

And I've decided
to do something else.

And what's that?

I want to go public about Anthony's
disappearance.

I see.

It seems extraordinary to me
that it's taken this long,

that I didn't do it at once.

There were always reasons,
of course.

People advised us that it might
frighten Anthony to go abroad

where we would never find him,

and then there was Richard's
position in the Conservative Party,

and I accepted all those reasons.

But then, suddenly, today, it seemed
totally inexplicable that I did.

I'm sorry!

- I'm rather excited, as you can see.
- Understandably.

So...

...what are you planning to do,
Mrs Shaw?

The first thing I want to do,
even before I go to the press,

is really very simple -

I want to plaster that street with
posters, with Anthony's picture,

and the surrounding streets,
so that we can find some witnesses.

It could be the quickest
route couldn't it?

Maybe.

Have you asked your husband
about this?

Asked him?

No, I don't need to,
not for the posters.

Will you help me arrange it?

VOICEOVER: "Dear Mrs Shaw.

"I just thought I'd write
to let you know

"what I've done about investigating
your son Anthony's disappearance,

"because yesterday,
something happened."

"I was off Games
because I have a cold.

"Instead, we went for a sick walk...

"...and it was being taken
by Mr Tezler."

"And I thought,
'I have a chance now.'"

"'I have to dare to ask him.'"

- Sir? May I ask you something, sir?
- What is it, Petrukhin?

You know Mrs Shaw came to see me
the other week?

Did you teach her son Anthony, sir?

I did. He was here some years ago.

And does he ever come back
to visit the school, sir?

He does not, no.

And does he ever write to you sir?

I don't remember him doing so, no.

Do you remember most old boys
that write to you, sir?

This is quite an interrogation,
Petrukhin!

I DO remember most of them,

but we have some very good records
as well, in the headmaster's study.

Every letter is kept.

And Anthony Shaw hasn't written
to you, or the headmaster, sir?

Did I not just answer that?

I don't believe he has, no.

VOICEOVER: "Those were
his very words:

"'I don't believe he has, no.'.

"Does Mr Tezler know Anthony's
disappeared, Mrs Shaw?

"I was just about to ask him that
when..."

Stop!

There is something disgusting
here, boys,

quite disgusting,
and I can't let you pass.

This is what happens
in our countryside today,

and it is quite appalling.

Rabbits, dying,

of a disease made by man.

There may be more ahead
in the woods.

I can't let you see that.

So - everybody back,
everybody back the way we came!

And so my talk with him
was stopped by a dying rabbit.

And after that, Mr Tezler marched
ahead, not talking to anybody.

So, I want to report the first thing
I've found out, that they

have these very good records
- of the old boys.

Mr Armstrong?

Dick Armstrong, that's correct.

You're admirably on time,
Mr Petrukhin.

I'd heard you're very punctual.

Would you like a drink?

In a minute maybe, not just now.

I hear you're a wine connoisseur.

So, what can I do for you,
Mr Petrukhin?

You know about Mr Field and
Mr Denning,

and how they've asked me to obtain
information about a certain family?

And what you found out from your two
visits so far has been very useful.

Why?

- What do you mean why?
- How has it been useful?

What have the Shaw family -
what has this family been doing?

We have reason to believe
that people

they've been connected
with are enemies of the state.

- In what way? That's what we have to
- find out, but clearly this is not

the place for me to go into any
further detail.

And Mr Field and Mr Denning?

I'm not sure how to put this.

- Hello, David.
- Dick, how are you?

I'm very well, thank you.
How are you?

Good.
Are you going to the do tonight?

I most certainly am.

Right, I'll see you there.

Yes? Mr Field and Mr Denning.

Are they to be relied on?

Well, I can vouch for them
as first class officers

if that's what you're asking?

And you're monitoring what they're
doing all the time? Of course.

And what is your rank
Mr Armstrong, if I may ask?

My rank?

I am their boss.

Will that do?

We do know what we're doing,
if that's what you mean?

Miss Prideaux will go to each house,
give them a poster, and explain

we've got official permission to do
this, it is approved by the council.

And then you'll interview
all the residents?

I will.

Turn, turn.

I've always liked this
picture of him.

Make sure you reach, otherwise...

There we go.

Ah, Mr Petrukhin, I see Guy has been
waiting for you.

Here is what you want.

I've signed it.

What we all want, Mr Petrukhin.

We're off.

We're about to change the world.

Why does your dog understand
some Russian words?

Ah!

That's all his fault.

William was attached to our embassy
in Moscow for three years.

And I like showing off my Russian.

Guy is a very good audience.

Is that what's been worrying you
all this time, Mr Petrukhin?

That we might have a Soviet dog?

So, what do you want me to do?
Because there's always a catch,

- isn't there? We want you to go back
- to the house, to the Shaws' house,

- one more time.
- I won't be invited there again.

They have become suspicious about me
taking photos,

they've started me
asking a lot of questions.

But they also like you, don't they?

They like you very much.

Do they? How do you know that?

Well, we only have to
look at these photographs.

It's almost a love affair, isn't it?

There's something about you
they really appreciate.

So, you just have to take Mr Shaw
out for lunch. That'll get

the ball rolling again, I'm sure.

And we'll pay for the meal,
of course.

And why would I want to go back?

Apart from it being my patriotic
duty, of course?

For the same reason.
Because you like them very much.

You know that too, do you?

- It's obvious, isn't it?
- All the photos tell us that.

And if somehow they're keeping bad
company, and you can help them

by stopping that, you'd want to do
that, wouldn't you?

Help save them.

- Save them? Yes, there's something
- you don't know, Mr Petrukhin,

because it was never been made
public - their son Anthony

went missing the day after his
21st birthday, five years ago.

And no-one has ever been
able to find him.

I hadn't heard that, no.

What a terrible thing to happen.
And nobody knows why?

- No.
- So talk to them about it.

They'll want somebody to confide to.
They'll appreciate it.

And how am I meant to know about it?

Probably because your daughter told
you.

I'm pretty sure she must know.

You see, there's so much in your
pictures.

Isn't there, Mr Petrukhin?

And what do you want me to do
if I get invited back again?

- Something very small, in fact.
- Indeed.

We just want you to memorise
the layout of the whole house,

who uses which room.

If we're going to bug the place,

we'll need an accurate
description of the interior.

You can't just listen
to their phone calls?

- Wouldn't that be simpler?
- We're already doing that.

But nothing of interest is ever
mentioned in their calls.

I expect they know we're listening.

So, contrary to your worst fears,
Mr Petrukhin,

the tasks are getting easier!

Ah, Giorgio, this is the gentlemen.

Samuel, do forgive me!

Politicians are always late,
aren't they?

It's the only thing they can be
relied on to do consistently.

Please, don't worry.
I haven't been here long.

Liar, I'm 20 minutes late!

Soldiers are always on time
on the other hand,

so I still really mind
when I keep people waiting.

The whole restaurant seems to
have recognised you.

I pretend I can't see it.

If you take it seriously, it does
funny things to your brain.

The lady over there asked if you'd
autograph this for her, sir.

Yes, of course.

Does that happen every
time you go out?

Nearly always.

It's because I was in the newsreels
during the war.

Of course, I remember.

And they made a movie of my book, so
I became famous by accident really.

Anyway, it'll pass.
These things never last.

That's why it's so wonderful when
one can be oneself for a change.

To be tremendously silly,

like we were with our little
adventure with the lorry.

Indeed!

And with the world in such
a perilous state, a little fun

is essential, don't you agree? I do.

And it's so hard to find,
at the moment.

It is, Samuel.

The Russians, the Russians,
the Russians.

Is that why you asked me
out to lunch,

so that we could make
idiots of ourselves again?

- I really hope it is!
- Absolutely.

That was an amazing day,
when we went fishing.

It was, wasn't it?

Well, you must come again as soon as
you are able, you and your wife.

I'm sure we would love that.

- In fact, next week we have a gathering.
- A gathering?

Yes, Walter is giving a talk of huge
importance apparently.

What's it about?

Something crucial according
to Walter.

Not to be missed.

We've watched the television
all night

and you've not said
a single word, Samuel.

I know.

Something has happened, hasn't it?

I wish you'd tell me.

Is it the factory?
Is business very difficult?

We have a situation at work.

Two groups of people, I don't know
which of them to believe.

Then you have to keep asking
the right questions, keep digging

until you've worked it out,
as you always do, my dear.

I must work it out.

I have one favour to ask of you,

Will you come to the Shaws' with me?
One last time? Please.

DOOR OPENING

Back so soon?

I thought you were
staying at the ball all night?

Well, I changed my mind. It wasn't
very well attended.

Don't worry, I'm not missing
anything with this one.

There were hardly any men
there, for a start.

Hello!

Don't worry, you're all quite safe.
The she-devil is having a night off.

Hannah?

Dad?

I'm sorry to disturb you.

I have to ask you something
important, Hannah.

Yes, Dad?

Did you know that Mrs Shaw's son
Anthony had disappeared?

I did, yes.

She told me not to tell anyone,
so I thought it was best not to.

Right. I'm not angry.

I just needed to know.

I'm so pleased
she decided to tell you.

It's extraordinary, isn't it, him
just vanishing like that?

Yes.

I'm glad we've
resolved our differences.

You won't ever go away, will you?

Like that?

Of course not.

I'm so glad you decided to come.

Yes, you never know what to
expect at this house.

And we're staying the night!

God knows what that's
going to be like.

CHILDREN CRYING

SHE RINGS THE DOORBELL

- Welcome back.
- Hello, Kevin.

And it's perfect timing.
Esther's mother has a new boyfriend

and she's over at his place tonight.

So, we're on our own!

Hello, Hannah.

So, you're both here.

Do you two always go round together?

- A lot of the time. Especially
- when we know you're coming.

- How've you been?
- OK.

- I've got a night off, so that's good.
- Yes.

All the dreadful balls
and parties you've had to go to,

five days a week!

We can't wait to hear about that,
how tough it's been.

Well, I won't disappoint you, then.

I have a little film for you.

It will surprise you, it may shock
you,

indeed I hope it will shock you,

because what it shows is intensely
serious.

Something is happening all over our
country,

something that is irreversible.

I shall be answering questions
afterwards.

Don't be put off by the commentary.

Old England.

We are all familiar
with its historic sites.

Its ancient cities,
the Mother of Parliaments, the land

of Shakespeare, but something is
stirring in Old England.

These buildings that many of us
treasure, that give Old England its

fair face, the face it shows to the
rest of the world, these buildings

are now threatened and many more
have already been destroyed.

Terrible, isn't it? Everything
I knew as a child is going.

The destruction, Walter, the
destruction!

And the scale of it.

Old England is destroying its past.
The buildings that defied

Hitler's Luftwaffe are now
facing a new threat.

All over the country,
the great stately palaces,

the grand town halls,
even the Mother of Parliaments

itself are being destroyed or are
being threatened with destruction.

The reason for this?

An urgent desire in this ancient
land to embrace

the future at all costs.

Someone else had to leave, I see.

And you're writing notes, too!

It just makes one
so angry, doesn't it?

It does make one angry, yes.

It's not that one shouldn't get
rid of some of the past.

Of course one should
knock down a lot that is old.

But what really upsets me

is the stupidity of the people
who are doing it,

how they overreact, how they don't
realise it's a question of balance.

It's all or nothing.
It always is with these people.

And now we come back to the
Houses of Parliament.

The Palace of Westminster,
could it be next?

Could we see it razed to the ground

and a new home be
born for the Mother of Parliaments?

And there is a plan to demolish it.

There really is!

- I feel so sorry for you, Mr Petrukhin.
- Sorry for me?

Yes, I'm sorry because you couldn't
have expected such a sombre evening.

Oh, I didn't know what to expect.

Certainly not a lecture on Victorian
architecture.

I had to pop out too.

There's a limit to how long you can
watch buildings being demolished.

So, Old England is
indeed at a crossroads.

When we next visit, how much of it
will there be left?

So, how is Hannah,
your lovely daughter?

She's very well.

She enjoyed you accompanying
her to the ball so much.

I think she wishes you could be
with her at every one.

APPLUSE IN THE OTHER ROOM

She told me about Anthony.

So, she told you.

She didn't mean to.
It just slipped out.

Yes.

Yes, it's good that Hannah told you.

It's not going to be
a private matter

now for very much longer anyway.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry.

No, you're not prying, Samuel.

I have something to tell you, now.

To confess.

Sasha's boarding school is where
Anthony went to school.

And it is one of the first reasons
I wanted to get to know you -

any connection to him
I come across I tend to seize.

- That's perfectly understandable.
- It's not very logical, is it?

But it's how I've been
thinking all this time,

until this week, anyway,
just clutching at anything.

I've been thinking about your
invention, Samuel, your bleeper.

If our children carried them.

And it worked outside, over an
entire city, for instance.

Then we could find them,
whenever we wanted.

That would be wonderful, yes!

Yes, yes, it would, truly
wonderful.

If only I could bleep
Anthony right now!

Of course, they'd hate us for it.

If we could always find them.

Not if we used it properly.

If we only used it when we had to,
they wouldn't hate us then.

And they could find us, too.

If they wanted us.

You realise I love your invention,
Samuel, and so does Richard.

MUSIC PLAYS

It's amazing how good
a dancer she is.

Yes, isn't it?

Come on, we can't just watch -
it's not allowed!

No, not yet, Joel! Please!

Are we the only people staying
the night, do you think?

- We can't be, surely!
- Goodnight!

Anyway, it's not been too bad
so far.

And this room is nice.

Ah, there you are.

Come and join me.

Thank you.

I couldn't sleep.

It's always difficult the first
night in a new house, isn't it?

Of course.

Two glasses? Like you were
expecting somebody.

Yes, well, I was hoping.

Without the sound, it's quite
moving, isn't it?

I'm so glad they sent you back here.

Richard invited me.

He's going to get a bit of a shock
isn't he, your Mr Field,

when he finds out it was just a
meeting for the

Society of the Preservation of
Victorian Buildings.

So, Samuel...

...what's this about?

Why are they so interested in what's
happening here?

It's time you knew, isn't it?

I would like to know
everything, yes.

The Russian penetration
of the secret service is on a bigger

scale than even I suspected.

Both in MI5 and in MI6.

It goes seriously deep.

Quite extraordinarily, there's
even a Russian spy that

comes into close contact with
Her Majesty the Queen on a regular

basis, and he's been allowed to keep
his job, because his public

unmasking would cause unbelievable
embarrassment to the government.

It is quite possible that the head
of MI5 himself is a Soviet agent.

That's how high up the Russian
penetration has got.

Myself, Richard, and a handful
of others are determined to

expose this situation,
both in Parliament and in the press,

when we have gathered
sufficient evidence.

Your Mr Field keeps sending you back
here to find out how much evidence

we have managed to uncover.

So, Samuel, what are you going to
tell them?

I'm just going to install the staff
locator at an airbase

and then I'm done with them.

I just hope their interest
is genuine.

And what happened to Anthony?

Can anything be more upsetting
for a parent than one's child to

vanish into thin air?

So, what happened, Arthur?

Nobody knows.

But I expect
they tried to recruit him.

The secret service? Recruit him?

The people that you suspect of being
Soviet spies? A 20-year-old boy?

The truth is nobody knows what
happened to Anthony.

Despite all of our efforts, it's
been impossible to find out.

So, Samuel, are you going to tell
Mr Field that it was just an evening

devoted to Victorian architecture?

I'm not going to tell him anything.

You may wonder

why I didn't stop you
being invited back here, Samuel.

I was wondering that, yes.

It's because I wanted to be able to
give you one more piece of advice.

Try to get away from them
as soon as you can.

That's easier said than done.

I need the business they're
providing.

Samuel! Now, please,
please listen to this.

The moment that's finished,
get away from them.

Because if they think you suspect
them, they may well find a way,

a surprising way mind you,

but they'll find a way...

...of disappearing you.

Disappearing me?

Yes.

Of killing you.

MUSIC: Wherever You Are by
Richard Blandon & The Dubs

Joel, please, stop.

Everywhere I go I've been doing
things that get me stared at.

- Is that bad?
- Well, it's not very comfortable.

If my dad could see me now!

Or a few seconds ago, anyway.

Off games again, Petrukhin?

I'm beginning to think it's
deliberate.

Steady, and off you go!

Hamilton! What is the meaning of
this?

I've injured my foot, sir.

You've injured your what?

I've injured my foot!

A boy is injured, matron!

Matron!

Can you hop? Hop, hop!

- Can you see anything seriously wrong?
- Oh, not again, Hamilton.

Now, can you do this?

What in heaven's name are you
doing, Petrukhin?

I was just looking
if I could find a letter.

You have broken
into the Headmaster's study.

And into the school's
private papers.

You have committed a crime,
Petrukhin.

Who did this?
Who pulled all the posters down?

I didn't see anything.

Maybe it was the council.

But we had permission to do this.

Someone must've seen something?!

Who saw something?

Someone must've done!

There were posters here of my son,
who is missing.

- And they've all been taken down.
- I didn't see anything.

Please! Somebody,
somebody must know who did this.

Please! There were a whole
lot of posters here,

and someone has pulled them
all down.

Did you see something?

Please, for God's sake,
one of you must have seen something!

Did you see something?

Don't be afraid.

There were posters here.
They were of my son, you see,

and he's gone missing.

Did you see something?

Please?

I think I did.

Yes?

Two men were in a car.

A blue car.

PHONE RINGING

Marylebone 2629?

The posters have all gone.

They've been torn down!

- Torn down? You got permission,
- didn't you?

I did, absolutely.

Well, you've got to find out who
did it, who it was.

There were two men in a blue car,
a little girl told me.

I need you to get to the street and
find out who it was.

Tomorrow afternoon I will go down
there and I'll... No, today.

You have to do it today.

Now, Petrukhin, your offence is
so grave

that Mr Tezler and I have decided on
the following course of action.

Your parents are due to come
and visit you on Sunday,

so your punishment will be delayed
until after that visit -

until we've discussed
the situation with them.

You could either face expulsion,
Petrukhin, or, yes, the hairbrush

many times over in front of the
whole school.

Or the cane.

It will all be decided on Sunday.

The full site is about eight times
larger than the portion

we did in the demonstration
for the top brass.

To cover that distance,
we have to have the strongest

transmission signal we've ever
attempted.

We have to place the transmitters
here and here.

- And probably here too...
- Yes, Courtney.

But the most important thing is this
- we have to get the job

done as fast as we can,
and then get the hell out of there.

And then find ourselves some
new clients.

I have something to tell you,
Richard.

Shall I take out my hearing aid,
so you can pretend I'm not here?

No, I want you to listen
to this, Mary.

I was given a possible address for
Anthony by his friend Paul Ledbury.

You were? When was this?

You never told me!

A couple of weeks ago.

I went to the address.
He wasn't there

and no-one was able to tell me
anything.

But I had posters put
up in the street.

Posters?

- You put posters up?
- Yes.

And someone had them all torn down.

Did they indeed?

And who would do that?
Was it people in the street?

I don't know. Mr Spearman is
finding out.

You did all this without telling me,
Kathleen.

Yes, and I'm sorry. I should've told
you, of course I should.

But I was completely wrapped
up in getting it done,

I so wanted to have something
positive to tell you.

But an address for him...

That's a wonderful lead!

That's what we've been waiting for!

What happens now?

I know what I have to do
next, Richard.

I'm going to go to the press.

That is a big step, Kathleen.

The whole world will
know our business.

Why not? It's high time we did.

Why didn't we do it before?

We've been locked in a situation,
a way of thinking.

Yes, let's do it.

Any minute now we should hear it.

BEEPING

I wonder what he wants.

Morning, gentlemen.

We're just testing
the range of the transmitters.

And it works!

We should be able to find anybody
over the entire base!

Splendid.

I just want a word with
Mr Petrukhin, here.

Hallelujah!

These young men are going mad
with boredom here.

When the base is fully operational
again things will be better.

You haven't supplied what
we asked for -

details of the interior
of the Shaws' house.

I have written it all down.

I was going to send it to you.

May I call you Samuel?

Certainly.

What do I call you?

Robert.

Samuel, you wanted to know more,
about that house, about the Shaws.

So, I'm going to tell you some more.

It's about time, isn't it?

We believe they are using
that house as a base

for their meetings,
their discussions, and their plans.

Plans that amount to treason.

What do you mean "they"?
Who are "they"?

Some very senior army commanders,
members of the House of Lords,

the House of Commons, a top
civil servant or two,

a newspaper magnate - who are all
completely opposed to the

dismantling of the British Empire,
the granting of independence to

our colonies, they are also furious
about our national humiliation

after the Suez fiasco and our loss
of influence in the world.

And they are planning to take over
the government of this country.

By force.

And they hope to do
this from a house in Hertfordshire?

Well, that's what we're
trying to find out.

We're trying to obtain evidence
about what they're plotting,

exact plans and how they're
going to activate them.

So, if you can send us what you've
got, Samuel, it would

be tremendously helpful, make
what we've got to do a lot easier.

I know how captivated
you are by that house,

and you're even more captivated
by some of the people in it.

But you ought to believe me.

Yes.

So, do we understand each other now?

I think we understand each other,
Robert.

Come on, come on. Come on!

Number, please.

Operator.
Can I please have Stevenage 5471?

It looks like the little blighter
has been using that phone box.

I think he's around here somewhere.

Missed the bus?

Yes.

There's not another one for an hour.

For an hour?

- Where are you going?
- To the station.

Well, jump in. I'm passing there.

Well, make your mind up.
I haven't got all day.

There's a very urgent phone
call for you, Mr Samuel.

- Samuel? Sasha has run away from school.
- He's done what?

The school has been out looking for
him. They haven't found him.

They've called the police now.
Apparently he's been missing several

hours already.
They can't find him Samuel!

I'm coming home immediately.

Keep off the phone, Miriam, in case
he's trying to call us.

I'm sure he will try and ring us.

If anyone else calls,
get them off the line at once!

Oh, God. What's happened?

Any news?

No, I'll call you back Hilda,
I can't talk now.

I'll phone you back!

I told you to keep off the phone.

Well, she just rung now -
I got rid of her as fast as I could,

- I had to answer it, didn't I?
- Yes, of course.

Did the school say what had
happened?

Did he have a quarrel with someone?

With another boy? With one of the
teachers?

They didn't say what had happened,
except that he had run away.

- And that he'd planned it.
- How do they know that?

- He's taken all his money with him!
- All his money?

Well, he doesn't have much,
so he can't have got far on that!

This is all my fault. It's
because I've been involved with all

this extra business at work -
and this is what happens!

It's not your fault, Samuel.
How can it be?

We must think where he's heading.

Hannah, you think too.

Where would Sasha go?
Where's his favourite place?

Where would he try and reach
if he's not coming here?

I don't know, Dad. I don't know what
his favourite places are.

I wish I did!

Oh, God, Samuel,
nothing will happen to him, will it?

OK, got to go.

Impatient little man, aren't we?

PHONE RINGING

Mrs Shaw?

Sasha? Is that you?

How's school?

I'm not at school, Mrs Shaw,
I need to see you.

What do you mean you're
not at school? Where are you?

I'm in London, I have to see you.

Why aren't you with your parents?

You've not run away from school,
have you, Sasha?

I want to see you, Mrs Shaw.
I have to tell you things.

Where are you, Sasha? You have to
tell me exactly where you are.

Cleveland Crescent, Paddington.

You stay there now, Sasha,
and don't move, I will send

the car for you, but it will
take about an hour to get to you.

So, you must stay in that street
all the time, do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

You mustn't tell my parents,
Mrs Shaw.

Well, of course I have
to tell your parents.

Please don't.

I won't stay here unless you
promise me that you won't.

Sasha, you have to stay there.
That is the only thing that matters.

Promise me you won't tell them.

I'm sending the car now.

Sasha?

Sasha, are you still there?

Sasha?

Sasha!

I was doing it all for you.

I was looking for letters
from Anthony.

Please don't tell my parents
until I am with you.

Promise?

OK, Sasha.

I promise I won't tell your parents

until we've had some time together,
but only if you stay where you are.

PHONE RINGING

Lawson.

It's for you.

Courtney, are you there?

I am, Mr Samuel.

I won't be joining
you for the final test.

My son's gone missing from school.

Gone missing? When did this happen?

A few hours ago.

I can't stay on the phone.

Don't worry, we can manage here,
Mr Samuel.

We'll be all set for the big day.

Let me know when he's found,
won't you? - Yes, yes.

I must go.

The boss's son has gone missing.

He has?

He should have a staff
locator like all of us

- then we'd be able to find him!
- Exactly.

Tomorrow is the start for that!

What are you doing down there, love?

I'm waiting. Somebody's coming.

You're lost, are you?

I'm not lost, a car is coming
for me.

A car is coming?!

What are you doing hiding down
there, then?

You're going to come with me.
Oh, yes, you are.

I know what a child like you needs.

No, you're coming with me!

I had to do it, and you have to
understand,

I had no choice.

There you are, Sasha.

Oh, we've been so worried.

These police officers have
kindly stayed

so that you will understand
the seriousness of what's happened.

Of you running away.

Come here, Sasha.

Samuel.

This is all because of me.

Sasha was only trying to
help find Anthony.

Thank you, Mrs Shaw.

We will deal with this at home.

All schools are beastly.

None of them know how to behave.

Don't let them send me back.

Please!

He won't forgive me.

At least they've got their son back.

We've heard the details of what
you've done from the school, Sasha.

The situation is very serious.

I don't want to go into it all now,
but it is extremely serious.

Running away from school, Sasha.

And getting into a stranger's car!

Everything we've always
warned you about!

We will leave all further discussion
until the morning.

Hannah, will you take Sasha
upstairs to bed?

We'll be along in a moment
to say goodnight.

This is a reckoning, Miriam,
it really is.

And now he will be expelled
from the school almost certainly,

which will make it impossible for us
to get him

into another good school...

...and all our plans for him, for his
future will be...

He went to see her first.

He went to see Mrs Shaw first.

I have brought disgrace
on the family, haven't I?

No, you haven't.

Anyway, that makes two of us.

I can't face going back.

I'd rather die than go back.

Don't talk like that.

Never talk like that.

I'm not going back, Hannah.

We'll see.

Anyway, who knows what's
going to happen.

If there's a war, maybe every school
in the country will be closed,

and we'll all be underground
together in bunkers.

- Hello?
- Mr Samuel?

I'm sorry to ring you at this hour,
but there's a problem.

The whole system is suddenly
not working...

The whole system?
How did that happened?

We've been working on it for hours
now to get it back - and nothing.

I felt you had to know.

I'll come straight away.

They want me to go to the airbase.
It's an emergency,

because of tomorrow.

Maybe I should stay here.

Tonight of all nights.

Well, both the children are here
and safe.

So, if you really need to go.

It's for the government, after all.

Mr Petrukhin.

Thank you for responding
to our emergency call.

I didn't expect to see you here.

Well, it is because of me that
your system is being installed here,

so it better bloody work!

We're keen not to look complete
idiots tomorrow.

The transmitters are working fine.

We're now getting
a signal near the buildings.

But not out there.

Nothing! It was working perfectly
well earlier on in the week.

What on Earth could've happened?

They are paging us all the time.
It should be bleeping.

So, why do we have no signal?

Go on, let's try further on.

Stop!

BEEPING

Ah, it is working, listen!

Switch the engines off.

Mr Field!

There's a telephone call!

It seems I was bleeping for real!

Urgent telephone call, Mr Field!

Somebody wants me.

BEEPING

See, your system does work, after
all! You carry on.

I'll catch you up.

We'll have it working
again by the time you get back!

This doesn't make any sense.

His works, but we're getting
nothing.

It doesn't add up!

It'll work this time.

Anyway, you know what they say,
last minute hitches means it goes

all right on the day,
so there's hope for tomorrow!

GUNSHOT

GUNSHOT

Get down! Get down!

GUNSHOT
Oh, God! Oh, God!

Get out, Mr Samuel! Get out!

Stay down, stay down, stay down!

GUNSHOTS

Aggh!

Stay down!

GUNSHOTS

Go back!

ALARMS SOUNDING

Is anyone hit?

Get down on the ground!
