Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:06,216
Stay, girl.
2
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:42,050
All right. Carry on, Burnett.
3
00:00:46,345 --> 00:00:49,215
All things pass. Nothing lasts for ever.
4
00:00:49,973 --> 00:00:52,049
She was a good bitch.
5
00:00:52,226 --> 00:00:54,723
She had a good life,
and there are some things
6
00:00:54,924 --> 00:00:57,220
one prefers to do oneself.
7
00:00:57,397 --> 00:01:00,300
Actually, that's a service
one would like to be available
8
00:01:00,501 --> 00:01:02,604
on the National Health.
9
00:01:02,777 --> 00:01:04,983
Or indeed compulsory.
10
00:01:05,154 --> 00:01:07,609
Well, compulsory for some.
11
00:02:07,085 --> 00:02:09,161
The young king there
12
00:02:09,379 --> 00:02:12,795
under the watchful eye
of the Prime Minister,
13
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:15,836
his guide and mentor in so many ways.
14
00:02:16,511 --> 00:02:18,587
What a rigmarole!
15
00:02:18,763 --> 00:02:21,088
A full state funeral now.
16
00:02:21,265 --> 00:02:24,385
The woman simply hung around too long.
17
00:02:26,103 --> 00:02:30,764
Better a quick exit than clinging
to the wreckage of a lost career.
18
00:02:31,316 --> 00:02:34,685
Some people seem
to lack all sense of timing.
19
00:02:47,831 --> 00:02:51,663
The Prime Minister...
clearly moved at the passing
20
00:02:51,835 --> 00:02:55,998
of Britain's longest-serving
and first woman prime minister.
21
00:02:56,172 --> 00:02:58,745
Speaking earlier today, he said...
22
00:02:58,924 --> 00:03:03,467
A remarkable life
and a remarkable and inspiring career.
23
00:03:03,637 --> 00:03:08,631
This is and will remain a momentous day
in the history of our great country.
24
00:03:11,686 --> 00:03:15,635
- What else could I say?
- Certainly not the truth.
25
00:03:15,856 --> 00:03:19,521
They'll ask for a statue
on Parliament Square next!
26
00:03:19,735 --> 00:03:23,898
I want to erase that woman
from the public memory, Elizabeth.
27
00:03:24,072 --> 00:03:26,645
I want to wipe her off the board.
28
00:03:26,825 --> 00:03:30,692
I want to be the greatest prime minister
since Churchill.
29
00:03:30,912 --> 00:03:33,070
You will be, Francis.
30
00:03:33,247 --> 00:03:36,050
I want to do something
about Europe before I go.
31
00:03:36,251 --> 00:03:38,454
I've left my mark on England.
32
00:03:38,627 --> 00:03:41,200
I want to leave my mark on the world.
33
00:03:51,222 --> 00:03:54,176
- Over here, sir.
- Over here, sir.
34
00:03:55,184 --> 00:03:57,757
- Thank you, sir.
- One more before you go.
35
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,021
- Good afternoon, sir.
- Good afternoon.
36
00:04:06,194 --> 00:04:08,270
Ah, Prime Minister!
37
00:04:10,490 --> 00:04:12,654
Right, sir, this one first,
38
00:04:12,655 --> 00:04:14,819
then this one,
and that's the Cyprus file.
39
00:04:15,494 --> 00:04:19,361
I thought you might like
to glance through the paper.
40
00:04:22,334 --> 00:04:26,082
Thank you, Barry.
That's very thoughtful of you
41
00:04:57,366 --> 00:05:00,699
People are so very unappreciative,
aren't they?
42
00:05:00,869 --> 00:05:06,076
They do not understand what I have done
and what I may do for my country.
43
00:05:06,249 --> 00:05:11,159
Or the burdens you've had to bear
for their sake. They understand nothing.
44
00:05:11,337 --> 00:05:13,808
"How sharper than
a serpent's tooth it is to have
45
00:05:14,009 --> 00:05:15,879
a thankless child!"
46
00:05:16,049 --> 00:05:20,213
Francis, this afternoon you said,
"Before I go..."
47
00:05:20,387 --> 00:05:22,877
You've never said that before.
48
00:05:23,598 --> 00:05:26,634
We all have to go
sooner or later, Elizabeth.
49
00:05:26,809 --> 00:05:28,184
Daddy.
50
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,104
Daddy!
51
00:05:36,234 --> 00:05:38,310
But not yet.
52
00:05:39,988 --> 00:05:43,985
No, not yet.
Far too many things I want to do first.
53
00:05:44,158 --> 00:05:46,779
It's time you considered your own needs.
54
00:05:46,953 --> 00:05:51,947
Not what you can do for your country,
but what your country can do for you.
55
00:05:52,124 --> 00:05:54,697
We need a little pension plan.
56
00:05:54,876 --> 00:05:57,450
There's a man I'd like you to meet.
57
00:05:57,629 --> 00:06:00,748
His name is Nures.
He's a Turkish Cypriot.
58
00:06:00,924 --> 00:06:03,545
He's given generously
to the party funds.
59
00:06:03,718 --> 00:06:06,173
He genuinely wants to help.
60
00:06:06,345 --> 00:06:09,844
- I think he's one of us.
- Thank you, Elizabeth.
61
00:06:11,016 --> 00:06:15,179
How do you feel about me now?
Like a force of nature, perhaps?
62
00:06:15,353 --> 00:06:18,971
I've been here so long now that,
love me or hate me,
63
00:06:19,149 --> 00:06:22,897
it's hard for you to imagine
anyone else in my place.
64
00:06:23,569 --> 00:06:25,229
Isn't it?
65
00:06:26,363 --> 00:06:29,898
But there are some
who dream of little else.
66
00:06:30,075 --> 00:06:34,737
My honourable friends, of course.
My loyal ministers, my cabinet.
67
00:06:37,082 --> 00:06:40,996
Tom Makepeace, Foreign Secretary,
an honourable man.
68
00:06:42,461 --> 00:06:45,035
Bullock, Capstick, Ravenscourt,
69
00:06:45,214 --> 00:06:47,290
Sparrowhawk, Crowe -
70
00:06:47,466 --> 00:06:51,131
all honourable men
until they sniff out any weakness.
71
00:06:51,345 --> 00:06:53,918
And then the younger generation -
72
00:06:54,097 --> 00:06:56,422
Rayner, Polecutt, Wolfin.
73
00:06:56,599 --> 00:06:59,173
Best kept on the leash and muzzledI
74
00:06:59,352 --> 00:07:02,139
John Rayner looks
as if he'd worry sheepI
75
00:07:03,689 --> 00:07:07,307
This latest report does feature
a number of cases
76
00:07:07,484 --> 00:07:10,105
where there seem to be real grievances,
77
00:07:10,278 --> 00:07:12,900
and we need to pay special attention...
78
00:07:13,073 --> 00:07:15,403
It's time to ginger things up,
79
00:07:15,404 --> 00:07:17,734
remind them who's the leader
of the pack,
80
00:07:17,910 --> 00:07:20,316
select a scapegoat and
enact a token mounting.
81
00:07:20,517 --> 00:07:22,323
Who shall it be?
82
00:07:24,166 --> 00:07:25,909
Geoffrey?
83
00:07:26,585 --> 00:07:29,158
Little Geoffrey Booza Pitt?
84
00:07:30,130 --> 00:07:33,047
No, not Geoffrey. Not this time.
85
00:07:34,050 --> 00:07:36,439
We cannot be seen
to condemn the very old
86
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,628
to disability or illness.
87
00:07:38,804 --> 00:07:41,378
Let's start with Betsy Bourke.
88
00:07:41,557 --> 00:07:44,460
..hospital area managers,
making sure that this situation
89
00:07:44,661 --> 00:07:46,764
can never arise again.
90
00:07:46,937 --> 00:07:50,851
We must make it clear
we are not abandoning the elderly.
91
00:07:51,024 --> 00:07:56,231
Of course not! That's why we brought in
age insurance. If they pay, they're OK.
92
00:07:56,904 --> 00:07:59,525
If not, well,
it's no skin off our noses.
93
00:07:59,699 --> 00:08:02,272
Damage limitation again, Betsy?
94
00:08:02,451 --> 00:08:07,159
I'd rather see it as an opportunity
to reaffirm some basic principles.
95
00:08:07,330 --> 00:08:09,536
The principle here being
96
00:08:09,537 --> 00:08:11,743
the right to live for
ever in perfect health?
97
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,328
- Politics is about making choices.
- Of course it is!
98
00:08:15,546 --> 00:08:18,962
And treating each other
like human beings.
99
00:08:19,133 --> 00:08:21,820
We can't throw old
people out of hospital
100
00:08:22,021 --> 00:08:24,507
because they can't pay for treatment!
101
00:08:24,721 --> 00:08:27,426
We need a safety net. It's unarguable.
102
00:08:27,641 --> 00:08:30,131
Nothing's unarguable, Tom.
103
00:08:30,310 --> 00:08:32,635
Nothing's unthinkable.
104
00:08:32,812 --> 00:08:37,604
We have too many old people in Britain.
Let's not shy away from the problem.
105
00:08:37,817 --> 00:08:41,351
What are you suggesting, John?
Euthanasia at 65?
106
00:08:41,528 --> 00:08:44,897
- Of course not, Prime Minister.
- I'm very relieved.
107
00:08:45,115 --> 00:08:47,606
I saw beggars on the street yesterday.
108
00:08:47,826 --> 00:08:50,156
I thought the Vagrancy Act
109
00:08:50,157 --> 00:08:52,487
had cleared that
nuisance off our streets.
110
00:08:52,663 --> 00:08:55,237
There are still problems,
Prime Minister.
111
00:08:55,416 --> 00:08:57,989
I don't want to hear
about your problems.
112
00:08:58,711 --> 00:09:01,332
I had hoped in this area, as in others,
113
00:09:01,505 --> 00:09:04,085
we could have grasped the nettle
114
00:09:04,086 --> 00:09:06,665
and challenged the
culture of dependency.
115
00:09:06,843 --> 00:09:09,334
I'm very disappointed, Betsy.
116
00:09:09,512 --> 00:09:11,967
Prime Minister, if we abandon
117
00:09:11,968 --> 00:09:14,423
the last remaining
safeguards in our system,
118
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,173
we'll be the pariahs of Europe!
119
00:09:17,353 --> 00:09:19,974
More than one way of being European.
120
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:25,316
Thank you. Thank you all very much.
121
00:09:25,485 --> 00:09:27,727
We'll talk soon, Betsy.
122
00:09:35,744 --> 00:09:37,286
Betsy.
123
00:09:39,248 --> 00:09:41,821
- He can be such a bastard.
- I know.
124
00:09:42,709 --> 00:09:45,330
I thought I'd given him what he wanted.
125
00:09:45,503 --> 00:09:47,857
He just likes playing games.
126
00:09:47,858 --> 00:09:50,212
Your turn today,
someone else's tomorrow.
127
00:09:50,383 --> 00:09:52,292
You'll be back on
the mantelpiece, Betsy.
128
00:09:52,493 --> 00:09:54,001
Trust me.
129
00:09:54,178 --> 00:09:56,669
You're a good friend, Geoffrey.
130
00:09:56,847 --> 00:09:58,923
I should think so too.
131
00:09:59,641 --> 00:10:02,642
If at any time you felt inclined
132
00:10:02,643 --> 00:10:05,644
for something a little
bit closer than that...
133
00:10:05,855 --> 00:10:08,476
You know how I've always fancied you!
134
00:10:08,649 --> 00:10:12,481
Geoffrey Booza Pitt,
you're an impossible man!
135
00:10:12,695 --> 00:10:14,237
No, no.
136
00:10:14,405 --> 00:10:16,481
Quite feasible.
137
00:10:16,657 --> 00:10:19,693
Quite feasible in every way. Believe me.
138
00:10:28,501 --> 00:10:31,620
Come in, Geoffrey.
139
00:10:35,132 --> 00:10:37,208
- Prime Minister.
- How's Betsy?
140
00:10:37,426 --> 00:10:40,925
She's quite upset.
She called you a bastard.
141
00:10:41,096 --> 00:10:43,337
I've been called worse.
142
00:10:43,515 --> 00:10:47,049
That was all about John Rayner
and Tom Makepeace.
143
00:10:47,226 --> 00:10:50,346
Flushing them out of cover
into open ground.
144
00:10:50,521 --> 00:10:53,854
- Each of them sees himself as leader.
- You don't?
145
00:10:54,066 --> 00:10:59,486
No. Rayner doesn't have the intellect,
Makepeace doesn't have the guts.
146
00:10:59,654 --> 00:11:03,817
Having so little of either myself,
it isn't for me to comment.
147
00:11:03,992 --> 00:11:06,613
They're a couple of sanctimonious shits.
148
00:11:06,786 --> 00:11:09,703
Yes. Just put the word about discreetly.
149
00:11:09,872 --> 00:11:12,991
The PM is contemplating
a cabinet reshuffle.
150
00:11:13,167 --> 00:11:15,918
Not a purge,
just two or three key posts.
151
00:11:16,086 --> 00:11:18,440
Absolutely no question
152
00:11:18,441 --> 00:11:20,794
of giving up the leadership
in the near future.
153
00:11:20,965 --> 00:11:24,215
It might be time to put
a bit of stick about.
154
00:11:27,430 --> 00:11:28,840
Order!
155
00:11:29,848 --> 00:11:32,173
Mr Graham Glass.
156
00:11:32,893 --> 00:11:35,496
Will the Prime Minister tell us
157
00:11:35,497 --> 00:11:38,100
the latest manufacturing
unemployment figures?
158
00:11:38,273 --> 00:11:40,514
Hear, hear!
159
00:11:45,988 --> 00:11:47,566
Come on!
160
00:11:49,074 --> 00:11:52,823
I put them on your desk this morning,
Prime Minister.
161
00:12:00,543 --> 00:12:04,706
I thank the Honourable Gentleman
for allowing me to confirm
162
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,376
that the unemployment figures
are down again this month.
163
00:12:09,593 --> 00:12:13,756
A complete vindication
of this government's economic policies.
164
00:12:13,930 --> 00:12:18,508
Yes, but what are the actual figures?
Does he know what they are?
165
00:12:21,437 --> 00:12:23,513
He doesn't know.
166
00:12:23,689 --> 00:12:26,394
He doesn't care.
167
00:12:26,567 --> 00:12:27,977
Order!
168
00:12:28,652 --> 00:12:30,360
Order!
169
00:12:31,488 --> 00:12:35,437
Madam Speaker,
if the Honourable Gentleman is too busy
170
00:12:35,617 --> 00:12:40,195
to look up the figures for himself,
I am very happy to tell him
171
00:12:40,413 --> 00:12:44,576
that the exact figure is 1,875,403.
172
00:12:44,750 --> 00:12:48,119
That's as of the first of this month,
of course.
173
00:12:51,756 --> 00:12:55,255
Time's up.
Statement from the Prime Minister.
174
00:12:58,638 --> 00:13:01,441
Next month, the Greek and
Turkish presidents of Cyprus
175
00:13:01,642 --> 00:13:03,845
will meet in Britain
176
00:13:04,018 --> 00:13:06,663
to sign the peace settlement
177
00:13:06,664 --> 00:13:09,308
that has eluded all parties
for over a generation.
178
00:13:09,481 --> 00:13:12,731
This peace treaty
has been made available
179
00:13:12,901 --> 00:13:15,255
through the initiatives
180
00:13:15,256 --> 00:13:17,609
your Prime Minister was
able to set in motion
181
00:13:17,780 --> 00:13:20,393
and follow through in
some of the toughest
182
00:13:20,594 --> 00:13:22,607
and most intricate negotiations
183
00:13:22,826 --> 00:13:24,735
in recent years.
184
00:13:24,953 --> 00:13:29,247
And thanks is due too
to my Right Honourable Friend,
185
00:13:29,457 --> 00:13:33,621
the Secretary of State
for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs
186
00:13:33,795 --> 00:13:38,456
who has, of necessity, been loaded down
with much of the donkey work,
187
00:13:38,633 --> 00:13:41,254
and I am very grateful to him.
188
00:13:41,468 --> 00:13:44,837
Cyprus has
a particular significance for me,
189
00:13:45,013 --> 00:13:48,880
if the House will permit me
to be personal for a moment.
190
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,038
I spent three crucial years
191
00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:54,517
on that beautiful island
at a very troubled time.
192
00:13:55,773 --> 00:14:00,351
It would hardly be an exaggeration
to say that I grew up there.
193
00:14:13,664 --> 00:14:18,871
Right Honourable and Honourable Members
will forgive me this once, I hope,
194
00:14:19,044 --> 00:14:22,164
if I find it a little difficult
to concentrate
195
00:14:22,339 --> 00:14:24,960
on trivial domestic squabbles today.
196
00:14:25,717 --> 00:14:28,208
There is a world elsewhere.
197
00:14:29,220 --> 00:14:31,793
And I'm very proud to have helped
198
00:14:31,973 --> 00:14:34,546
to change that world for good...
199
00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:37,635
..and for ever.
200
00:14:38,812 --> 00:14:40,888
Hear, hear!
201
00:14:42,983 --> 00:14:44,441
Brilliant.
202
00:14:46,361 --> 00:14:48,934
Not one of your better days, Barry.
203
00:14:49,113 --> 00:14:51,667
I'm sure I put the file
on your desk, Francis.
204
00:14:51,868 --> 00:14:53,822
It must have slipped your mind.
205
00:14:54,618 --> 00:14:58,782
Anyway, you gave him the figures.
How did you do that?
206
00:14:58,956 --> 00:15:01,453
I made them up, but I'd prefer
207
00:15:01,454 --> 00:15:03,950
not to live quite so dangerously
in future!
208
00:15:04,669 --> 00:15:07,872
- Brilliant, FU. Awesome.
- Thank you, Geoffrey.
209
00:15:08,715 --> 00:15:11,751
Claire! How are you? Did you enjoy that?
210
00:15:11,926 --> 00:15:14,737
It was an outrageous performance.
211
00:15:14,738 --> 00:15:17,549
Tom Makepeace must be
quite rightly furious.
212
00:15:18,807 --> 00:15:21,380
He still puts on one hell
of a good show.
213
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,967
Better than anyone. Such a star!
214
00:15:24,187 --> 00:15:26,451
At one moment I thought
he'd lost the plot,
215
00:15:26,652 --> 00:15:28,516
then he stormed back.
216
00:15:28,733 --> 00:15:32,433
- Was that real or just for effect?
- Never underestimate him.
217
00:15:32,611 --> 00:15:36,276
- I never would, Geoffrey.
- Good. He's talent-spotting.
218
00:15:36,448 --> 00:15:39,365
He might like the look of your...CV.
219
00:15:39,576 --> 00:15:41,652
Prime Minister!
220
00:15:41,828 --> 00:15:44,401
Tom. You didn't mind, I hope?
221
00:15:44,581 --> 00:15:47,202
You agreed I would make the statement.
222
00:15:47,375 --> 00:15:50,078
Did I? I'm so sorry.
I haven't hurt your feelings?
223
00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:52,582
I mentioned your contribution.
224
00:15:52,755 --> 00:15:56,373
"Donkey work"?
The ideas and initiatives were mine.
225
00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:59,669
I did 90% of the negotiations
in bloody person!
226
00:15:59,845 --> 00:16:03,794
This is too important an issue
for wounded vanity, Tom.
227
00:16:03,973 --> 00:16:08,551
But I won't hold it against you.
You've done tremendous work on this.
228
00:16:08,728 --> 00:16:10,270
Good man!
229
00:16:10,438 --> 00:16:12,941
He is a good man too.
Very able, honest,
230
00:16:12,942 --> 00:16:15,644
but a bit too ambitious
for his own good.
231
00:16:15,817 --> 00:16:18,288
I shouldn't have
roughed him up like that,
232
00:16:18,489 --> 00:16:20,360
but I just can't resist it.
233
00:16:22,615 --> 00:16:24,779
Enough of that.
234
00:16:24,780 --> 00:16:26,944
Can't fritter all our
time away in Westminster.
235
00:16:27,119 --> 00:16:30,784
None of the real business of the world
gets settled there.
236
00:16:42,133 --> 00:16:44,885
Oh, excellent! Jolly good shot!
237
00:16:45,595 --> 00:16:48,465
It's the turn of the wrist,
Mrs Urquhart.
238
00:16:49,140 --> 00:16:53,303
I wouldn't have thought
you'd be such an aficionado, Mr Nures.
239
00:16:53,477 --> 00:16:56,596
I adore cricket.
I adore everything English.
240
00:16:56,771 --> 00:16:59,393
Cricket at Lord's, Oxford, Glyndebourne.
241
00:16:59,566 --> 00:17:02,056
Not enough Wagner for me.
242
00:17:02,235 --> 00:17:06,943
And English women especially.
England has the best women in the world.
243
00:17:07,114 --> 00:17:09,320
You're too kind.
244
00:17:09,533 --> 00:17:12,818
Thank you, Corder.
So sorry to keep you waiting.
245
00:17:13,036 --> 00:17:15,112
What's the score?
246
00:17:15,288 --> 00:17:17,281
206 for 3.
247
00:17:17,499 --> 00:17:19,954
- Jolly good.
- Francis, this is Mr Nures.
248
00:17:20,168 --> 00:17:23,916
He's been very generous
with his donations to party funds.
249
00:17:24,088 --> 00:17:28,251
Mr Nures, I'm delighted to meet you.
I am very grateful.
250
00:17:28,425 --> 00:17:30,999
It is I who am grateful, Mr Urquhart.
251
00:17:31,178 --> 00:17:33,781
You have created the climate
252
00:17:33,782 --> 00:17:36,385
in which a man of vision
can express himself fully.
253
00:17:36,558 --> 00:17:40,721
England is the best country now
for the merchant adventurer.
254
00:17:40,895 --> 00:17:44,015
I feel at home here.
I love what you're doing.
255
00:17:44,190 --> 00:17:46,941
I see it as a new Elizabethan age -
256
00:17:47,109 --> 00:17:49,944
the splendour here, the squalor there.
257
00:17:50,153 --> 00:17:52,905
Life in all its rich complexity.
258
00:17:54,866 --> 00:17:56,490
Lovely shot!
259
00:17:56,701 --> 00:17:58,907
Thank you, Mr Nures.
260
00:17:58,908 --> 00:18:01,113
I was telling Mr Nures
about our dream.
261
00:18:01,289 --> 00:18:05,618
The Urquhart Trust. We'd love to endow
a chair at Oxford or Cambridge.
262
00:18:05,834 --> 00:18:08,408
Far beyond our personal means.
263
00:18:08,587 --> 00:18:13,165
Nothing's impossible,
but nothing will come of nothing, huh?
264
00:18:13,341 --> 00:18:17,042
I'd like to have a talk with you
about my native land.
265
00:18:17,262 --> 00:18:18,839
Of course.
266
00:18:20,765 --> 00:18:22,425
Please.
267
00:18:24,685 --> 00:18:26,927
The Cyprus settlement.
268
00:18:27,104 --> 00:18:29,595
Historic, as you rightly say.
269
00:18:29,773 --> 00:18:32,346
Just a few loose ends to tie up.
270
00:18:32,525 --> 00:18:35,312
The exact nature of the sea boundaries.
271
00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:38,857
Just a few fish? What if there were oil?
272
00:18:40,032 --> 00:18:44,493
The seismic survey failed
to show up anything out of the ordinary.
273
00:18:44,661 --> 00:18:47,781
I have better information.
It's very exciting.
274
00:18:47,956 --> 00:18:50,791
There is a rich concentration of oil,
275
00:18:50,959 --> 00:18:53,532
but only in one particular area.
276
00:18:54,212 --> 00:18:56,815
A company with which I'm associated
277
00:18:56,816 --> 00:18:59,419
did some drillings in
that part 30 years ago.
278
00:18:59,592 --> 00:19:02,195
What we learned from that,
279
00:19:02,196 --> 00:19:04,799
combined with the findings
of this recent survey,
280
00:19:04,972 --> 00:19:09,135
you see a very rare
and poignant business opportunity.
281
00:19:09,309 --> 00:19:13,258
Interestingly enough,
it's on the disputed borderline.
282
00:19:13,438 --> 00:19:17,933
So I'm in a position to help you
so you can help both our countries.
283
00:19:18,693 --> 00:19:23,401
You are in a position, I believe,
to be able to help me and help yourself.
284
00:19:24,323 --> 00:19:25,900
Go on.
285
00:19:26,074 --> 00:19:30,237
There will be an arbitration panel
of five international judges.
286
00:19:30,412 --> 00:19:33,614
The Turks nominated
a Malaysian and an Egyptian.
287
00:19:33,790 --> 00:19:36,370
The Greeks nominated
a Frenchman and a Serb.
288
00:19:36,571 --> 00:19:38,950
Naturally, they'll split 50/50.
289
00:19:39,128 --> 00:19:44,085
But the chairman with the casting vote
will be a British judge.
290
00:19:46,176 --> 00:19:48,252
Am I right?
291
00:19:48,428 --> 00:19:51,049
You are remarkably well informed.
292
00:19:51,222 --> 00:19:55,635
What can I say?
Knowledge is the name of the game.
293
00:19:55,851 --> 00:19:58,473
If the oil fell into the Greek sector,
294
00:19:58,646 --> 00:20:01,765
they'll give the drilling rights
to the French,
295
00:20:01,940 --> 00:20:04,437
but if it came into the Turkish sector,
296
00:20:04,438 --> 00:20:06,934
all sorts of good
things become possible.
297
00:20:07,112 --> 00:20:11,358
For your country, for my country.
For me and for you.
298
00:20:12,075 --> 00:20:14,826
Everybody needs a little nest egg.
299
00:20:14,994 --> 00:20:17,745
I couldn't countenance any irregularity.
300
00:20:18,455 --> 00:20:20,531
No, no. Of course not.
301
00:20:20,707 --> 00:20:23,186
A judge must be
absolutely incorruptible,
302
00:20:23,387 --> 00:20:25,665
absolutely impartial.
303
00:20:25,879 --> 00:20:30,339
But you can advise on the appointment
of the chairman of the panel.
304
00:20:32,051 --> 00:20:35,918
The selection should be made
most carefully, I think.
305
00:20:36,096 --> 00:20:38,255
It will be, Mr Nures.
306
00:20:40,434 --> 00:20:44,929
The Urquhart Trust.
It sounds a very noble concept.
307
00:20:45,146 --> 00:20:47,815
It is a very noble concept, Mr Nures.
308
00:20:48,524 --> 00:20:51,062
And one very close to my heart.
309
00:20:51,063 --> 00:20:53,601
It's your baby, am I
right, Mrs Urquhart?
310
00:20:53,779 --> 00:20:57,729
My husband is a little too busy
to attend to the details.
311
00:20:57,908 --> 00:20:59,984
I think I understand.
312
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,781
English understatement. Crazy about it!
313
00:21:02,954 --> 00:21:05,527
Mrs Urquhart, do you know Cyprus?
314
00:21:05,707 --> 00:21:07,948
No, I've never been there.
315
00:21:08,126 --> 00:21:11,577
A beautiful country,
as your husband knows.
316
00:21:17,551 --> 00:21:19,627
I remember it very well.
317
00:21:33,482 --> 00:21:37,349
I'm expecting him now,
but we're going out quite soon.
318
00:21:38,153 --> 00:21:41,735
I'll certainly tell him. Hold on.
319
00:21:41,948 --> 00:21:44,653
- Here he is.
- God, what a day!
320
00:21:46,828 --> 00:21:48,903
Claire Carlsen.
321
00:21:50,456 --> 00:21:51,831
Right.
322
00:21:51,999 --> 00:21:53,374
Hello?
323
00:21:54,626 --> 00:21:56,204
Oh, yes?
324
00:21:56,878 --> 00:21:59,250
No, I'd better see it myself.
325
00:21:59,464 --> 00:22:01,789
I'll come straight over.
326
00:22:04,093 --> 00:22:06,169
- Sorry.
- Tom!
327
00:22:06,345 --> 00:22:10,129
I'll be there. It won't take long.
Another cock-up.
328
00:22:10,307 --> 00:22:12,880
I'll meet you there. I won't be late.
329
00:22:13,060 --> 00:22:15,633
Fine. Well, off you go, then!
330
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,996
Oh, your smell!
331
00:23:30,172 --> 00:23:32,413
- Amazing!
- And yours!
332
00:23:33,925 --> 00:23:36,297
I didn't think you'd come.
333
00:23:36,469 --> 00:23:40,763
I was desperate to see you, be with you.
That malevolent old man!
334
00:23:41,807 --> 00:23:44,096
I know. I know.
335
00:23:46,478 --> 00:23:48,352
Come on.
336
00:23:51,191 --> 00:23:53,682
How does he get away with it?
337
00:23:53,860 --> 00:23:57,692
Because we let him think
he can do anything he likes.
338
00:23:57,864 --> 00:24:01,813
He's got to go. If he won't go gently,
he'll have to be pushed.
339
00:24:01,992 --> 00:24:04,566
You could do it. You should do it.
340
00:24:10,834 --> 00:24:13,407
God, I want you so much!
341
00:24:14,462 --> 00:24:17,131
Come on, then. Have me.
342
00:24:18,174 --> 00:24:20,712
Claire Carlsen, member for Box Hill.
343
00:24:20,885 --> 00:24:23,458
She's married to Bjorn Carlsen.
344
00:24:23,637 --> 00:24:25,713
All that money.
345
00:24:25,889 --> 00:24:28,462
A very ambitious girlie...woman.
346
00:24:28,642 --> 00:24:30,718
Sorry. Woman.
347
00:24:30,894 --> 00:24:34,013
Tom Makepeace is seeing
to her bodily needs?
348
00:24:34,188 --> 00:24:36,975
- They're at it like rabbits.
- Really?
349
00:24:37,191 --> 00:24:40,311
Makes one feel exhausted
to think about it.
350
00:24:40,486 --> 00:24:42,562
I don't know.
351
00:24:42,738 --> 00:24:45,383
I take very little interest
professionally or personally
352
00:24:45,584 --> 00:24:48,028
in politicians' private lives,
353
00:24:48,201 --> 00:24:52,662
but several of your colleagues
are rather rum coves in that respect,
354
00:24:52,830 --> 00:24:54,805
yourself not least,
355
00:24:54,806 --> 00:24:56,780
if I may put it that
way as an old friend?
356
00:24:57,460 --> 00:24:58,835
Ah.
357
00:25:00,671 --> 00:25:04,620
- Evening, Rayner. Evening, Wolfin.
- Evening, Sir Bruce.
358
00:25:05,425 --> 00:25:07,797
Nasty eyes that man's got.
359
00:25:08,762 --> 00:25:11,383
Still, "Sir Bruce".
Can't take that away.
360
00:25:11,556 --> 00:25:13,296
People say
361
00:25:13,331 --> 00:25:15,505
there's not a lot of
satisfaction in a knighthood,
362
00:25:15,685 --> 00:25:18,258
but most of those people
haven't got one.
363
00:25:18,437 --> 00:25:22,055
- I bet you'd like one.
- I'd adore one. Absolute bliss.
364
00:25:22,274 --> 00:25:24,847
"Sir Geoffrey Booza Pitt."
365
00:25:25,026 --> 00:25:27,352
What a mouthful!
366
00:25:27,529 --> 00:25:31,656
It won't happen, though.
Basically, I'm just a chorus boy.
367
00:25:31,824 --> 00:25:34,398
Now, what do you want?
368
00:25:34,577 --> 00:25:37,198
You want to go to the House of Lords.
369
00:25:37,371 --> 00:25:42,578
I'd be very honoured to serve my country
in that capacity. Yes, I admit to that.
370
00:25:42,751 --> 00:25:45,870
Bruce, you'll have
to be much nicer to FU.
371
00:25:46,046 --> 00:25:48,501
I'm extremely nice to him.
372
00:25:48,673 --> 00:25:53,381
My leading articles are tremendously
warm and sympathetic to the chap.
373
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:58,179
But when 70% of the electorate
have had enough of him and say so,
374
00:25:58,349 --> 00:26:01,551
the nation's leading newspaper
can't ignore it.
375
00:26:01,727 --> 00:26:05,060
Of course it's time for him to go.
Everyone knows it.
376
00:26:05,271 --> 00:26:07,513
He knows it, doesn't he?
377
00:26:07,690 --> 00:26:11,024
He thinks he's indestructible
and perhaps he is.
378
00:26:11,235 --> 00:26:13,311
No one is, Geoffrey.
379
00:26:14,113 --> 00:26:16,734
Look at what happened to Margaret.
380
00:26:17,699 --> 00:26:20,190
No one is indestructible.
381
00:26:26,082 --> 00:26:28,104
No hold-ups ahead.
382
00:26:28,105 --> 00:26:30,126
We should be back in
London by nine, sir.
383
00:26:44,682 --> 00:26:47,636
Make sure
your seat belt's fastened, sir.
384
00:26:51,355 --> 00:26:53,597
Tosser!
385
00:26:53,816 --> 00:26:55,393
Yeah!
386
00:27:00,197 --> 00:27:03,197
- Wanker!
- Let's have some fun!
387
00:27:23,259 --> 00:27:24,837
John!
388
00:27:26,304 --> 00:27:28,973
You wankers! Right, who wants some?
389
00:27:34,853 --> 00:27:37,391
- You...
- Shut up!
390
00:27:40,442 --> 00:27:44,106
- Shit! I thought he had a gun.
- They were all armed.
391
00:27:44,278 --> 00:27:46,354
Self-defence.
392
00:27:46,530 --> 00:27:49,152
I take it you are up for this?
393
00:27:49,867 --> 00:27:53,532
- Yeah. Yeah, absolutely, guv.
- Right.
394
00:28:08,092 --> 00:28:10,168
Oh, God!
395
00:28:11,303 --> 00:28:13,379
Don't go yet.
396
00:28:13,555 --> 00:28:16,472
I have to. I shouldn't be here at all.
397
00:28:17,183 --> 00:28:20,433
Hilary's got a launch party
for her new book.
398
00:28:20,603 --> 00:28:22,892
I promised to be there.
399
00:28:24,607 --> 00:28:26,683
Come on, then.
400
00:28:26,859 --> 00:28:29,065
Get your knickers on.
401
00:28:29,236 --> 00:28:33,020
You're missing
all those little sausages on sticks.
402
00:28:38,077 --> 00:28:40,153
What is it?
403
00:28:40,330 --> 00:28:42,405
I hate this flat.
404
00:28:43,082 --> 00:28:44,457
Why?
405
00:28:44,625 --> 00:28:47,116
Because it's a company flat?
406
00:28:47,294 --> 00:28:49,370
Because it's his?
407
00:28:50,047 --> 00:28:53,830
You don't like my husband
subsidising your sex life?
408
00:28:55,719 --> 00:28:58,838
It's a safe house. It's...anonymous.
409
00:29:01,307 --> 00:29:03,596
Like what we do here...
410
00:29:03,768 --> 00:29:05,843
isn't real.
411
00:29:14,778 --> 00:29:17,482
What we do here seems very real to me.
412
00:29:19,782 --> 00:29:21,858
What are you saying?
413
00:29:22,660 --> 00:29:25,779
- Are you saying you want to stop this?
- No!
414
00:29:25,954 --> 00:29:28,030
Don't ever say that.
415
00:29:28,206 --> 00:29:30,958
You know I'm desperate about you.
416
00:29:44,054 --> 00:29:48,004
You'd better have a good scrub down
before you clock on.
417
00:30:07,743 --> 00:30:12,451
"Horizon" next, but now over
to Sonia Stevens in the BBC newsroom.
418
00:30:12,622 --> 00:30:16,240
Reports are coming in
of a shooting incident on the M14,
419
00:30:16,459 --> 00:30:20,587
described as an assassination attempt
on the Prime Minister.
420
00:30:20,754 --> 00:30:22,130
Tom!
421
00:30:22,297 --> 00:30:26,591
Mr Urquhart's car was rammed
and forced off the road.
422
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,512
Mr Urquhart sustained head injuries,
423
00:30:29,513 --> 00:30:32,264
but his life is not,
repeat not, in danger.
424
00:30:32,974 --> 00:30:36,888
As soon as we have any more news,
we'll let you know.
425
00:30:40,189 --> 00:30:42,395
I'd better go up there.
426
00:30:43,650 --> 00:30:45,856
Not from here. Go home.
427
00:30:46,069 --> 00:30:48,904
- People will be phoning you.
- Yes.
428
00:31:30,902 --> 00:31:33,475
Mr Urquhart!
429
00:31:34,822 --> 00:31:37,395
Mr Urquhart, welcome back.
430
00:31:38,325 --> 00:31:40,898
You're in hospital. You're OK.
431
00:31:41,620 --> 00:31:43,696
You're doing fine.
432
00:31:44,539 --> 00:31:47,112
I'm very glad to hear that.
433
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,245
Oh, yes. I remember now.
434
00:31:56,759 --> 00:31:58,834
Thank you very much.
435
00:31:59,011 --> 00:32:03,471
- I think this could be it, John.
- Shit! Shit, shit, shit!
436
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,213
It's too bloody soon. We're not ready.
437
00:32:06,392 --> 00:32:09,927
- Hello. Heard the news. Shocking!
- No comment.
438
00:32:10,104 --> 00:32:12,180
No comment?
439
00:32:12,356 --> 00:32:14,514
I'm sorry. Sir Bruce.
440
00:32:14,692 --> 00:32:17,265
I'm too upset to focus properly.
441
00:32:17,444 --> 00:32:20,065
Deeply shocked. Gravely concerned.
442
00:32:20,238 --> 00:32:24,900
This kind of lawless behaviour,
happy to see it promptly dealt with.
443
00:32:25,076 --> 00:32:27,721
Our thoughts are with
Francis Urquhart tonight,
444
00:32:27,922 --> 00:32:30,366
praying for his speedy recovery.
445
00:32:30,539 --> 00:32:32,745
Yes, I'm sure they are.
446
00:32:32,746 --> 00:32:34,952
After all, you're not
ready yet, are you?
447
00:32:49,807 --> 00:32:51,883
I was doing my duty.
448
00:32:52,059 --> 00:32:54,431
I was carrying out orders.
449
00:32:54,603 --> 00:32:57,176
I have absolutely no misgivings.
450
00:32:57,355 --> 00:32:59,431
Nor did I have then.
451
00:32:59,608 --> 00:33:01,150
Francis?
452
00:33:01,317 --> 00:33:03,939
They were terrorists. Simple as that.
453
00:33:04,112 --> 00:33:06,318
The men in the van?
454
00:33:07,573 --> 00:33:09,649
What van?
455
00:33:10,326 --> 00:33:13,990
- On the motorway.
- I had to shoot them.
456
00:33:16,081 --> 00:33:18,654
There was an olive tree there.
457
00:33:19,417 --> 00:33:21,990
I remember the olive tree burning.
458
00:33:24,797 --> 00:33:27,370
Francis, I think you should rest.
459
00:33:28,008 --> 00:33:31,626
You're not really making much sense,
to be frank.
460
00:33:35,348 --> 00:33:37,970
It all seems perfectly clear to me.
461
00:33:38,143 --> 00:33:40,680
Cyprus is back on the map.
462
00:33:41,562 --> 00:33:44,136
Cyprus is back on the agenda.
463
00:33:45,316 --> 00:33:48,850
We're going to make a little history,
Elizabeth.
464
00:33:49,028 --> 00:33:51,186
Yes, my dear, we are.
465
00:33:53,031 --> 00:33:55,320
I think I will rest now.
466
00:33:56,993 --> 00:34:00,362
It was awfully good of you to come,
Elizabeth.
467
00:34:09,254 --> 00:34:12,919
Mrs Urquhart, a man outside
says he's Sir Henry Ponsonby.
468
00:34:13,091 --> 00:34:17,254
He's probably telling the truth.
Does he want to see my husband?
469
00:34:17,428 --> 00:34:19,592
I told him it's only
the immediate family,
470
00:34:19,793 --> 00:34:21,757
but he wasn't happy.
471
00:34:21,933 --> 00:34:24,506
He says he's the Cabinet Secretary.
472
00:34:25,144 --> 00:34:28,061
He seems to think
it gives him special rights.
473
00:34:28,272 --> 00:34:30,763
I'll have a word with him.
474
00:34:32,984 --> 00:34:36,602
And, Nurse,
my husband seems a little confused.
475
00:34:36,779 --> 00:34:41,108
It's important that he speaks to no one
until he's more himself.
476
00:34:41,284 --> 00:34:44,154
I'll make sure he's not disturbed.
477
00:34:44,328 --> 00:34:45,703
Thank you.
478
00:34:52,586 --> 00:34:54,245
Elizabeth!
479
00:34:54,421 --> 00:34:57,042
I came as soon as I could. How is he?
480
00:34:57,215 --> 00:34:59,545
They say he's doing very well.
481
00:34:59,546 --> 00:35:01,876
Not up to seeing you,
though, I'm afraid.
482
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:04,926
What happened, Henry?
483
00:35:05,097 --> 00:35:07,718
I was on my way to the country
484
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,339
when I got the call.
I've heard nothing yet.
485
00:35:10,519 --> 00:35:14,516
I say! I wonder if you'd mind
waiting outside for a moment?
486
00:35:14,689 --> 00:35:16,765
Yes, I would.
487
00:35:16,941 --> 00:35:19,230
Oh. Shall we?
488
00:35:26,450 --> 00:35:29,949
National Health Service hospital,
of course.
489
00:35:31,037 --> 00:35:33,610
Extraordinary places, aren't they?
490
00:35:33,790 --> 00:35:35,920
I've heard that
491
00:35:35,921 --> 00:35:38,451
a National Health teaching
hospital is the only place to be
492
00:35:38,628 --> 00:35:41,201
if you've got something wrong with you.
493
00:35:41,380 --> 00:35:43,871
Really? I must remember that.
494
00:35:47,010 --> 00:35:49,418
About this motorway thing...
495
00:35:49,596 --> 00:35:50,971
Yes.
496
00:35:51,139 --> 00:35:52,598
Well...
497
00:35:52,765 --> 00:35:55,285
It's not at all clear,
but it does seem possible
498
00:35:55,486 --> 00:35:57,806
that it was a bit of a nonsense.
499
00:35:57,978 --> 00:36:01,810
Security a little over-zealous
in reading the rubric.
500
00:36:01,982 --> 00:36:05,398
You mean they shot
three innocent motorists?
501
00:36:05,569 --> 00:36:08,142
Innocent's a tricky adjective, I find.
502
00:36:08,822 --> 00:36:11,941
Apparently these chaps
weren't model citizens.
503
00:36:12,617 --> 00:36:16,235
Anyway, I gather
Commander Corder has matters in hand.
504
00:36:16,412 --> 00:36:18,071
He's handling the
internal investigation.
505
00:36:18,272 --> 00:36:19,531
Good.
506
00:36:19,707 --> 00:36:21,580
Yes, quite.
507
00:36:24,336 --> 00:36:26,909
Always distasteful, these things.
508
00:36:32,593 --> 00:36:35,262
He's going to be all right, then?
Francis?
509
00:36:35,429 --> 00:36:37,635
Oh, yes, they say so.
510
00:36:37,806 --> 00:36:39,882
I'm glad to hear it.
511
00:36:40,059 --> 00:36:42,134
Tricky times.
512
00:36:43,395 --> 00:36:45,471
Look, Henry...
513
00:36:45,647 --> 00:36:48,351
This may seem brutally practical,
514
00:36:48,525 --> 00:36:51,022
but I've been thinking
about what we'd do
515
00:36:51,223 --> 00:36:53,519
if something happened to Francis.
516
00:36:54,488 --> 00:36:56,730
Or if something didn't.
517
00:36:56,907 --> 00:36:59,480
Death or retirement, in short.
518
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,236
What do you mean?
519
00:37:02,412 --> 00:37:06,873
Well...a prime minister's salary
is laughably small.
520
00:37:07,041 --> 00:37:11,454
And a prime minister's pension
must be practically negligible.
521
00:37:11,629 --> 00:37:15,163
And yet one notices
that ex-prime ministers...
522
00:37:16,050 --> 00:37:18,208
How shall I put it?
523
00:37:18,886 --> 00:37:22,385
..aren't actually short
of the odd few million.
524
00:37:23,056 --> 00:37:26,472
Would it be naive of me to ask
how this happens?
525
00:37:26,643 --> 00:37:30,307
It can't all come
from writing one's memoirs, can it?
526
00:37:30,479 --> 00:37:32,555
Hardly that.
527
00:37:33,232 --> 00:37:37,858
It is assumed that the incumbent PM
will make his own arrangements
528
00:37:38,028 --> 00:37:40,601
for a comfortable retirement.
529
00:37:40,781 --> 00:37:43,301
The Prime Minister is usually
in a unique position
530
00:37:43,502 --> 00:37:45,822
to make such arrangements.
531
00:37:45,994 --> 00:37:50,406
Sometimes the PM may prefer
to leave some of these arrangements
532
00:37:50,623 --> 00:37:53,196
to members of his or her family.
533
00:37:53,375 --> 00:37:55,700
I thought that was it.
534
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,087
Well, do let me know
if I can be of any help.
535
00:38:13,268 --> 00:38:14,727
Thanks.
536
00:38:18,398 --> 00:38:20,971
I am chairing this cabinet meeting
537
00:38:21,151 --> 00:38:24,769
purely as Foreign Secretary
and Deputy Prime Minister.
538
00:38:24,946 --> 00:38:28,564
The Prime Minister
is making a complete recovery.
539
00:38:28,741 --> 00:38:30,964
I'm sure we'd like to
minute our good wishes
540
00:38:31,165 --> 00:38:32,987
for his speedy return.
541
00:38:33,162 --> 00:38:35,407
And may I just say that
542
00:38:35,408 --> 00:38:38,452
none of us could think of a
better man to take his place?
543
00:38:40,585 --> 00:38:42,957
Temporarily, of course.
544
00:38:43,129 --> 00:38:46,747
Do we have more information
on the shooting incident?
545
00:38:46,924 --> 00:38:50,542
I've had an informal report
from Commander Corder.
546
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:55,262
The men were criminals and armed,
but it wasn't a terrorist attack.
547
00:38:55,432 --> 00:38:57,786
Road rage, apparently.
548
00:38:57,787 --> 00:39:00,140
The bastards got more
than they bargained for.
549
00:39:00,311 --> 00:39:04,178
Commander Corder should be
the subject of any investigation.
550
00:39:04,357 --> 00:39:07,061
It's clear there should be
a full inquiry.
551
00:39:07,234 --> 00:39:08,942
Absolutely.
552
00:39:09,153 --> 00:39:11,726
But I've just told you what it'll say.
553
00:39:11,905 --> 00:39:14,526
I know the PM will say the same.
554
00:39:14,699 --> 00:39:17,404
Do you? Thank you, Home Secretary.
555
00:39:17,619 --> 00:39:19,944
Next business.
556
00:39:20,955 --> 00:39:24,075
Ponsonby and Makepeace and no one else?
557
00:39:24,250 --> 00:39:28,034
- No one else.
- Not even little Geoffrey Booza Pitt?
558
00:39:28,212 --> 00:39:32,079
No one. We did say
you weren't able to receive visitors.
559
00:39:32,257 --> 00:39:36,124
Nevertheless, they should have come.
Mark of respect.
560
00:39:36,303 --> 00:39:39,089
I have perceived
a faint neglect of late.
561
00:39:39,264 --> 00:39:42,348
No matter. Heads will roll.
562
00:39:43,059 --> 00:39:46,677
That bloody little Private Secretary
of mine for a start.
563
00:39:46,854 --> 00:39:50,519
I'll get myself someone
with a little bit of spark.
564
00:39:50,691 --> 00:39:53,608
- I see you're feeling better.
- Yes, I am.
565
00:39:53,777 --> 00:39:56,350
Did I give you cause for concern?
566
00:39:56,529 --> 00:39:59,316
You did. An intimation of mortality.
567
00:39:59,490 --> 00:40:03,357
- I was talking about Cyprus, wasn't I?
- Yes, you were.
568
00:40:03,536 --> 00:40:06,109
Francis, I think Mr Nures is right.
569
00:40:06,288 --> 00:40:08,891
We have a wonderful
opportunity to do something
570
00:40:09,092 --> 00:40:11,495
for ourselves and our country.
571
00:40:11,668 --> 00:40:16,495
We should do business with Mr Nures.
He'll be a wonderful, necessary man.
572
00:40:16,673 --> 00:40:19,590
Yes, we'll see.
573
00:40:19,759 --> 00:40:24,337
- Are you ready, Mr Urquhart?
- Indeed I am. Wheel that thing away!
574
00:40:25,306 --> 00:40:27,879
- Are you sure?
- Absolutely.
575
00:40:28,058 --> 00:40:31,676
Thank you very much.
You've been most kind. Elizabeth!
576
00:40:31,853 --> 00:40:33,228
Goodbye.
577
00:40:33,438 --> 00:40:36,059
Doctor, thank you so much. Thank you.
578
00:40:36,232 --> 00:40:40,230
I'm not going to risk
being photographed in a wheelchair.
579
00:40:50,829 --> 00:40:53,948
- What the hell is this, Barry?
- Age Concern.
580
00:40:54,123 --> 00:40:56,697
We thought it was rather a cute idea.
581
00:40:57,251 --> 00:40:59,824
They brought you a birthday card, sir.
582
00:41:00,004 --> 00:41:02,625
I'm not terribly interested
in birthdays.
583
00:41:02,798 --> 00:41:05,549
Very kind,
but I have a lot of work to do.
584
00:41:05,717 --> 00:41:08,837
Many happy returns, Prime Minister,
585
00:41:09,012 --> 00:41:12,546
on the occasion of
your 65th birthday tomorrow.
586
00:41:12,724 --> 00:41:15,215
Welcome from all of us
587
00:41:15,393 --> 00:41:17,800
to the third age!
588
00:41:17,979 --> 00:41:20,054
Yes, thank you.
589
00:41:20,231 --> 00:41:23,979
♪ Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
590
00:41:24,693 --> 00:41:28,607
♪ Happy birthday, Prime Minister
591
00:41:28,822 --> 00:41:32,273
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
592
00:41:33,201 --> 00:41:36,404
Thank you very much.
I really am most touched.
593
00:41:37,747 --> 00:41:39,822
Smile, please!
594
00:41:44,211 --> 00:41:47,330
So you thought
that was a cute idea, Barry?
595
00:41:47,505 --> 00:41:50,839
Well, it came from
one of the girls in the office.
596
00:41:51,009 --> 00:41:53,297
Not from the opposition?
597
00:41:53,469 --> 00:41:57,087
You have become a liability!
Have you seen the papers?
598
00:41:57,264 --> 00:41:59,838
Lots of good coverage, your birthday...
599
00:42:00,017 --> 00:42:03,136
"Our pensioner Prime Minister.
Time to FO, FU."
600
00:42:03,353 --> 00:42:07,849
And three profiles of Tom Makepeace,
"the man most likely to succeed".
601
00:42:08,024 --> 00:42:11,144
- That's good coverage?
- Don't be oversensitive.
602
00:42:11,319 --> 00:42:16,027
- It's good-humoured stuff, I'd say.
- Would you indeed? Would you indeed?
603
00:42:17,032 --> 00:42:19,606
I can't work bloody miracles.
604
00:42:27,542 --> 00:42:30,329
And in his feeble way, the man is right.
605
00:42:30,503 --> 00:42:33,076
He can't work bloody miracles.
606
00:42:33,255 --> 00:42:35,793
Nor can I turn the clock back
607
00:42:35,966 --> 00:42:38,539
or halt time or undo what is done.
608
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,174
But I can bloody well go on.
609
00:42:41,346 --> 00:42:46,008
As long as I have strength and will,
I can do everything I need to do.
610
00:42:48,770 --> 00:42:51,343
- Come in, Geoffrey.
- Is this all right?
611
00:42:51,939 --> 00:42:54,856
FU? They said you were asking for me.
612
00:42:55,025 --> 00:42:57,599
Yes, of course it's all right, Geoffrey.
613
00:42:57,820 --> 00:43:01,864
- How's your poor head?
- Apparently I'm mending very well.
614
00:43:02,032 --> 00:43:04,439
It's rather painful. Pain is tiring.
615
00:43:05,285 --> 00:43:08,321
At least it hasn't spoiled
your good looks.
616
00:43:08,538 --> 00:43:12,405
A small scar on the temple
can be quite distinguished.
617
00:43:14,376 --> 00:43:16,949
Makepeace chaired the cabinet, did he?
618
00:43:17,796 --> 00:43:21,793
- What was he like?
- Very statesmanlike and responsible.
619
00:43:22,008 --> 00:43:25,626
I tried to tempt him into a little aria,
but it was no go.
620
00:43:25,803 --> 00:43:28,923
Everyone came on
like Little Goody Two-Shoes.
621
00:43:29,098 --> 00:43:31,245
They kept saying,
622
00:43:31,246 --> 00:43:33,392
"I'm sure that's what
HE would have wanted."
623
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,891
It's funny how what
you would have wanted
624
00:43:36,092 --> 00:43:38,222
is exactly what THEY want.
625
00:43:38,899 --> 00:43:41,389
They have no idea what I want
626
00:43:41,568 --> 00:43:43,809
or what I can still do.
627
00:43:48,115 --> 00:43:51,650
I'm appointing
a new Parliamentary Private Secretary.
628
00:43:51,827 --> 00:43:53,903
Excellent idea.
629
00:43:54,079 --> 00:43:58,741
Barry Crumb has been neither use
nor ornament for quite some time.
630
00:43:58,917 --> 00:44:01,490
God knows where he gets his hair done!
631
00:44:03,338 --> 00:44:06,623
I have a thought or two
if you haven't decided.
632
00:44:06,841 --> 00:44:08,917
You have? Good.
633
00:44:09,093 --> 00:44:11,666
It's your birthday party tomorrow.
634
00:44:11,845 --> 00:44:14,342
I don't anticipate it
with any enthusiasm.
635
00:44:14,543 --> 00:44:16,840
It's another reminder
of increasing age.
636
00:44:17,058 --> 00:44:19,134
Bollocks to that!
637
00:44:19,311 --> 00:44:22,560
A man is as young as he feels
and you know it.
638
00:44:23,481 --> 00:44:28,059
You can still see any of them off.
Look at the fear in their eyes!
639
00:44:28,235 --> 00:44:31,853
You're still the biggest swinging dick
in Westminster, FU.
640
00:44:33,115 --> 00:44:35,819
If one's allowed to put it that way.
641
00:44:52,758 --> 00:44:56,376
- General and Mrs Baum.
- General, nice to see you.
642
00:44:56,553 --> 00:44:59,126
Like the sodding Sun King, Wolf!
643
00:44:59,305 --> 00:45:01,926
I wonder how long he thinks he's got.
644
00:45:02,100 --> 00:45:04,590
The longer the better for us.
645
00:45:04,769 --> 00:45:07,390
Let Makepeace flower and fade a bit.
646
00:45:10,649 --> 00:45:13,899
- Evening, Tom.
- Hello there. How are you?
647
00:45:15,779 --> 00:45:18,269
What a limp prick that man is!
648
00:45:18,489 --> 00:45:21,276
Hello, Sarah.
I was hoping you'd be here.
649
00:45:22,451 --> 00:45:25,238
- I hate this dressing up.
- Ghastly!
650
00:45:25,454 --> 00:45:27,862
Yes, well, absolutely.
651
00:45:28,582 --> 00:45:32,200
- Good evening, sir. How are you?
- Very much better.
652
00:45:32,377 --> 00:45:35,995
- Mr Nures, how nice to see you.
- Excuse me, please.
653
00:45:36,172 --> 00:45:38,793
Good of you to visit. You must be busy.
654
00:45:38,966 --> 00:45:41,588
- For you, I'd drop everything.
- Really?
655
00:45:42,261 --> 00:45:45,072
A very glittering occasion.
Very nice.
656
00:45:45,073 --> 00:45:47,884
And you, Mrs Urquhart,
drop-dead gorgeous.
657
00:45:48,058 --> 00:45:50,465
Thank you very much.
658
00:45:50,644 --> 00:45:54,641
Isn't that Sir Clive Watling,
the Border Arbitration Chairman,
659
00:45:54,814 --> 00:45:57,387
on whom so many of our hopes depend?
660
00:45:57,567 --> 00:46:00,354
- I believe it is.
- I'd like to meet him.
661
00:46:00,528 --> 00:46:04,940
I don't think that's a good idea.
I want to keep you all for myself.
662
00:46:05,115 --> 00:46:08,235
Sir Clive,
I've wanted to meet you for so long.
663
00:46:08,410 --> 00:46:11,031
The best international jurist in Europe!
664
00:46:11,204 --> 00:46:14,822
I hear it everywhere.
You must be very much in demand.
665
00:46:15,375 --> 00:46:17,865
I am pretty busy at the moment.
666
00:46:18,044 --> 00:46:22,705
And now this Cyprus business.
Let's go over there. Come along, Henry.
667
00:46:25,551 --> 00:46:30,212
I'm delighted that a British judge
has been chosen to chair the panel.
668
00:46:30,388 --> 00:46:32,962
Are you quite happy with everything?
669
00:46:33,141 --> 00:46:35,762
Such as your fellow judges on the panel?
670
00:46:35,935 --> 00:46:39,600
Broadly speaking.
Saladier will be difficult, no doubt.
671
00:46:39,772 --> 00:46:43,437
- He always is.
- Be as rough as you like with Saladier.
672
00:46:43,609 --> 00:46:46,396
We'd have no problem with that.
673
00:46:46,570 --> 00:46:49,855
We're not too keen on the French
at the moment.
674
00:46:50,031 --> 00:46:51,988
I see.
675
00:46:52,158 --> 00:46:54,779
This is an exceptionally
prestigious task.
676
00:46:54,952 --> 00:46:59,744
Whoever does this and gets it right
goes straight into the history books
677
00:46:59,915 --> 00:47:03,035
with a peerage
and the usual box of tricks.
678
00:47:03,210 --> 00:47:06,828
- Mr Urquhart...
- You're not interested in baubles.
679
00:47:07,005 --> 00:47:09,043
Nor am I.
680
00:47:09,044 --> 00:47:12,082
But in this case, you may just
have to submit with a good grace.
681
00:47:13,511 --> 00:47:16,346
You spoke of...getting it right.
682
00:47:17,890 --> 00:47:20,463
You do understand the limits?
683
00:47:20,642 --> 00:47:22,796
A distinction exists
684
00:47:22,797 --> 00:47:25,351
between international
politics and international law.
685
00:47:25,522 --> 00:47:30,942
Of course, which you will negotiate
with your unrivalled acumen and wisdom.
686
00:47:31,152 --> 00:47:36,063
These sea boundaries
may prove to be absolutely crucial.
687
00:47:38,701 --> 00:47:40,776
Yes. I see.
688
00:47:42,204 --> 00:47:45,489
Well, that all seems
quite excellent to me.
689
00:47:46,166 --> 00:47:48,739
Let's join the party, shall we?
690
00:47:51,504 --> 00:47:53,829
You approve our choice?
691
00:47:54,006 --> 00:47:56,331
Utterly incorruptible,
692
00:47:56,509 --> 00:47:58,750
absolutely impartial.
693
00:47:58,927 --> 00:48:03,091
He just can't stand Frenchmen,
and who can blame him for that?
694
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,556
Ravishing, yeah?
695
00:48:13,774 --> 00:48:15,850
He's never here.
696
00:48:16,026 --> 00:48:19,146
You know her, don't you?
Of course you do.
697
00:48:19,321 --> 00:48:23,484
She used to help out
with your research in foreign affairs.
698
00:48:23,658 --> 00:48:26,992
- Is that her husband?
- Yes, I think it is.
699
00:48:27,161 --> 00:48:29,450
Bjorn Carlsen.
700
00:48:30,122 --> 00:48:32,653
Someone told me
that man's worth 200 million.
701
00:48:32,854 --> 00:48:34,784
Can that be right?
702
00:48:35,461 --> 00:48:37,815
He's got all that money
703
00:48:37,816 --> 00:48:40,169
and can't keep his wife
on the straight and narrow.
704
00:48:40,340 --> 00:48:42,913
Have you heard anything about that?
705
00:48:43,093 --> 00:48:45,334
No. No, I haven't.
706
00:48:45,512 --> 00:48:48,845
Shags like a rattlesnake
that's what I heard.
707
00:48:49,015 --> 00:48:52,633
Ambitious with it too.
Mind you, I could be wrong.
708
00:48:52,810 --> 00:48:54,968
Excuse me, Geoffrey.
709
00:48:56,522 --> 00:48:58,680
1900, right. That one...
710
00:49:00,525 --> 00:49:02,981
It's very different with me.
711
00:49:05,905 --> 00:49:09,855
Would you excuse me just for a moment?
I'll be right back.
712
00:49:13,412 --> 00:49:16,531
- Sarah, how lovely to see you.
- And you.
713
00:49:16,707 --> 00:49:20,075
- How are the girls?
- Quite young ladies now.
714
00:49:20,252 --> 00:49:22,327
Be in touch.
715
00:49:22,504 --> 00:49:24,876
- Prime Minister.
- Mrs Carlsen.
716
00:49:25,048 --> 00:49:27,538
It's lovely of you to invite us.
717
00:49:27,717 --> 00:49:32,378
We're pleased that you could both come.
Your husband must be very busy.
718
00:49:32,554 --> 00:49:34,713
Yes, he is.
719
00:49:35,932 --> 00:49:40,475
Has Geoffrey Booza Pitt
said anything to you about me ?
720
00:49:40,645 --> 00:49:45,223
He mentions you from time to time.
I can't recall anything specific.
721
00:49:45,399 --> 00:49:49,646
He thinks very highly of you,
as does everyone else, it seems.
722
00:49:49,820 --> 00:49:53,864
I understand you might be looking
for a new PPS quite soon.
723
00:49:54,032 --> 00:49:55,408
Yes.
724
00:49:56,201 --> 00:49:57,576
And?
725
00:49:57,744 --> 00:50:00,098
I'm sure this isn't the form,
726
00:50:00,099 --> 00:50:02,452
but I'd like you to
consider me for the job.
727
00:50:02,623 --> 00:50:06,039
I'd love to do it and I think
I'd do it very well.
728
00:50:06,711 --> 00:50:11,289
Well, Mrs Carlsen, it's very kind of you
to make yourself available.
729
00:50:11,465 --> 00:50:14,038
Will you let me think about this?
730
00:50:14,217 --> 00:50:16,791
I don't have to decide straightaway.
731
00:50:16,970 --> 00:50:19,508
I'm sorry. It's very cheeky of me.
732
00:50:19,722 --> 00:50:24,301
Indeed it is,
but you've done yourself no harm by it.
733
00:50:27,730 --> 00:50:30,303
You'll have to excuse me now.
734
00:50:30,482 --> 00:50:32,558
Yes, of course.
735
00:50:34,027 --> 00:50:36,696
Thank you for listening.
736
00:50:41,784 --> 00:50:43,326
No, no.
737
00:50:43,995 --> 00:50:46,070
Not this one.
738
00:50:47,247 --> 00:50:49,821
You might very well think that.
739
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,538
I couldn't possibly comment.
