Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,237
The Margaret Thatcher Memorial.
2
00:01:02,454 --> 00:01:05,028
Is there really no way of preventing it?
3
00:01:05,207 --> 00:01:07,289
It would seem not.
4
00:01:07,290 --> 00:01:09,372
It's all being paid
for out of a foundation.
5
00:01:09,546 --> 00:01:12,120
The site was earmarked 15 years ago.
6
00:01:12,299 --> 00:01:14,630
For a time, there seemed
some possibility
7
00:01:14,831 --> 00:01:16,962
of putting it up in Grantham
8
00:01:17,138 --> 00:01:19,712
where no one would have to look at it.
9
00:01:19,891 --> 00:01:22,465
Except the unfortunate inhabitants.
10
00:01:22,645 --> 00:01:25,101
Where is Grantham, anyway?
11
00:01:25,273 --> 00:01:27,646
No one seems quite sure.
12
00:01:28,819 --> 00:01:31,393
Couldn't the Arts Council do something?
13
00:01:31,572 --> 00:01:34,194
You forget. We abolished it a year ago.
14
00:01:34,367 --> 00:01:36,941
Yes. Department of National Heritage.
15
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,612
Not their pigeon, apparently.
16
00:01:39,790 --> 00:01:43,955
The best we can hope for
is to keep the scale of that thing down
17
00:01:44,129 --> 00:01:47,664
and plan a larger memorial of oneself
to stand nearby.
18
00:01:48,384 --> 00:01:50,876
How is she to be represented?
19
00:01:51,054 --> 00:01:55,717
- As the saviour of the Falklands.
- A small war in a godforsaken place!
20
00:01:55,893 --> 00:01:58,515
A small war, but very serendipitous.
21
00:01:58,688 --> 00:02:03,647
- Lucky for some, but not for others?
- Well, isn't that the way with wars?
22
00:02:16,751 --> 00:02:19,753
A small war in Cyprus over 40 years ago,
23
00:02:19,922 --> 00:02:24,252
and now the Cyprus settlement
will inscribe my name in history.
24
00:02:24,427 --> 00:02:28,556
And the Cyprus oilfields
will provide my personal pension
25
00:02:28,724 --> 00:02:31,262
if all our enterprises prosper.
26
00:02:31,436 --> 00:02:36,514
The Urquhart Trust, a very comfortable
retirement plan for when the day comes.
27
00:02:36,692 --> 00:02:40,737
Not yet, of course.
Lots more fun to be had before that.
28
00:02:40,947 --> 00:02:44,993
Statement from the Chancellor
of the Duchy of Lancaster.
29
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,373
Madam Speaker, it gives me
the greatest pleasure to announce
30
00:02:49,541 --> 00:02:53,409
that with the cooperation
of the Ministry of Defence
31
00:02:53,587 --> 00:02:55,859
I am raising the embargo
32
00:02:55,860 --> 00:02:58,131
on a large number of
War Office documents.
33
00:02:58,927 --> 00:03:03,139
These documents date
from the early '50s to 1956
34
00:03:03,307 --> 00:03:05,638
and contain a lot of
interesting material
35
00:03:05,839 --> 00:03:07,970
about events in Cyprus, Egypt
36
00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:11,106
and the Middle East generally.
37
00:03:11,317 --> 00:03:15,980
Freedom of information is a hallmark
of good, democratic government
38
00:03:16,156 --> 00:03:20,949
and I'd just like to say I'm very happy
to be able to add to its store today.
39
00:03:23,415 --> 00:03:25,491
Mr Joe Badger.
40
00:03:25,667 --> 00:03:28,788
If he's so keen
on freedom of information,
41
00:03:28,963 --> 00:03:32,380
will he tell us how
he got his knees brown
42
00:03:32,592 --> 00:03:36,258
and who paid for his last little trip
to the Philippines?
43
00:03:38,933 --> 00:03:43,726
As I'm sure the Honourable Member knows,
my essential fact-finding trip...
44
00:03:45,942 --> 00:03:50,651
My essential fact-finding trip
was funded jointly by my department
45
00:03:50,822 --> 00:03:53,343
and the Filipino government
46
00:03:53,344 --> 00:03:55,865
in the interests of
ethnically sensitive tourism.
47
00:03:56,079 --> 00:03:58,405
Is that what they call it?
48
00:03:58,582 --> 00:04:01,038
Fun without exploitation,
49
00:04:01,210 --> 00:04:05,873
models of imaginative cooperation
between the First and Third World
50
00:04:06,049 --> 00:04:08,623
of economic and cultural benefit to all.
51
00:04:08,802 --> 00:04:13,050
Surely the Honourable Member
doesn't begrudge me a tan!
52
00:04:13,725 --> 00:04:16,246
And in the strict interests
of open government
53
00:04:16,447 --> 00:04:18,767
and freedom of information,
54
00:04:18,940 --> 00:04:22,356
I'm prepared to inform
the Honourable Member
55
00:04:22,527 --> 00:04:25,944
that I got a good deal more
than my knees brown.
56
00:04:26,115 --> 00:04:28,191
I bet you did!
57
00:04:28,368 --> 00:04:30,906
And furthermore, furthermore...
58
00:04:31,079 --> 00:04:33,517
if he plays his cards right,
he might be allowed
59
00:04:33,718 --> 00:04:35,956
to come along with me next time.
60
00:04:36,127 --> 00:04:39,746
Order!
61
00:04:39,965 --> 00:04:42,172
You might regret that.
62
00:04:42,343 --> 00:04:44,668
Not from what I've heard!
63
00:04:45,555 --> 00:04:48,509
Order! Order!
64
00:05:00,823 --> 00:05:03,030
Mr Urquhart?
65
00:05:04,494 --> 00:05:07,449
Hello. Do we know each other?
66
00:05:08,165 --> 00:05:11,701
I believe you met my father
once in Cyprus, 1956.
67
00:05:11,878 --> 00:05:15,544
I wrote to you about the war graves.
You said you'd help.
68
00:05:15,716 --> 00:05:20,178
- Then I shall. What's your name?
- Passolides. Maria Passolides.
69
00:05:20,347 --> 00:05:22,920
How do you do, Miss Passolides?
70
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:26,220
- Phone my secretary for an appointment.
- Thank you.
71
00:05:26,395 --> 00:05:28,969
Well, goodbye for the present.
72
00:05:31,527 --> 00:05:36,106
It was him.
We prove it now, prove it for certain.
73
00:05:36,866 --> 00:05:41,031
Dad, it was over 40 years ago.
How can you be so sure?
74
00:05:41,205 --> 00:05:43,281
I saw it happen.
75
00:05:43,458 --> 00:05:46,079
I was there, but I couldn't stop it.
76
00:05:47,087 --> 00:05:49,163
I saw him.
77
00:05:49,340 --> 00:05:51,796
Those eyes. Pale, pale eyes.
78
00:05:52,009 --> 00:05:54,583
But if you only saw him once...
79
00:05:54,763 --> 00:05:57,385
That was enough. It was the same man.
80
00:05:57,975 --> 00:06:00,549
I should have looked after my brothers.
81
00:06:00,728 --> 00:06:03,350
You did your best, Dad.
82
00:06:03,523 --> 00:06:06,097
They were my little brothers.
83
00:06:06,277 --> 00:06:08,899
Nobody in the village
said nothing to me.
84
00:06:09,531 --> 00:06:12,947
But you could see
what everyone was thinking.
85
00:06:13,118 --> 00:06:15,473
"He should have looked
after his brothers."
86
00:06:15,674 --> 00:06:17,828
How could I stay after that?
87
00:06:21,044 --> 00:06:23,666
Are you quite sure you want to find out?
88
00:06:24,215 --> 00:06:25,590
Yes.
89
00:06:26,301 --> 00:06:27,676
Yes.
90
00:06:28,386 --> 00:06:31,507
But when I know for certain
it was that man,
91
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,889
what can I do to punish him?
92
00:06:47,409 --> 00:06:48,987
Oh!
93
00:06:55,961 --> 00:06:58,203
Yes?
94
00:06:58,381 --> 00:07:00,414
Mr Booza Pitt would like
to talk to you.
95
00:07:00,515 --> 00:07:02,047
Yes, all right.
96
00:07:06,224 --> 00:07:08,300
Come in, Geoffrey.
97
00:07:10,562 --> 00:07:12,222
FU?
98
00:07:12,398 --> 00:07:15,103
- All right?
- Perfectly, thank you.
99
00:07:15,276 --> 00:07:19,440
That was a rather louche performance
you gave us this afternoon.
100
00:07:19,615 --> 00:07:23,483
Yeah, it was a bit end of the pier,
but the chaps liked it.
101
00:07:23,661 --> 00:07:28,490
I've had a bit of a shock since then.
Rather an unpleasant phone call.
102
00:07:28,667 --> 00:07:30,874
- Newspapers?
- Not yet.
103
00:07:31,087 --> 00:07:33,400
Francis, I'm awfully sorry,
104
00:07:33,401 --> 00:07:35,714
but I've got myself
into a spot of bother.
105
00:07:35,884 --> 00:07:38,802
- Sex or money?
- Bit of both, I'm afraid.
106
00:07:38,971 --> 00:07:41,048
Let's have it, then.
107
00:07:41,224 --> 00:07:45,934
My local party chairman is divorcing
his wife for adultery, citing me.
108
00:07:46,105 --> 00:07:48,792
That's rather small beer for you.
109
00:07:48,793 --> 00:07:51,480
You might have a slight
reselection problem.
110
00:07:51,695 --> 00:07:54,299
He says he's going to
resign from the party
111
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:56,903
and take his story to the tabloids.
112
00:07:57,118 --> 00:08:02,244
There are details, nothing too dreadful.
It's a bit embarrassing, though.
113
00:08:03,167 --> 00:08:04,745
Oh, erm...
114
00:08:04,919 --> 00:08:09,048
Uniforms and so on.
Doctors and nurses. Awfully harmless.
115
00:08:10,175 --> 00:08:12,631
But there are photographs.
116
00:08:12,803 --> 00:08:15,924
- Geoffrey, Geoffrey...
- You know me.
117
00:08:16,099 --> 00:08:18,472
Anything else?
118
00:08:18,644 --> 00:08:20,304
Er, well...
119
00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:22,969
He says he's going to say
that I tipped off his wife
120
00:08:23,170 --> 00:08:25,059
about some shares.
121
00:08:25,235 --> 00:08:27,311
Brindox Chemicals.
122
00:08:27,488 --> 00:08:30,608
- Ahead of the takeover?
- Yeah, obviously.
123
00:08:30,783 --> 00:08:35,576
Otherwise there wouldn't be much point
in buying them. He should be grateful!
124
00:08:36,957 --> 00:08:38,500
Francis?
125
00:08:39,210 --> 00:08:42,746
I want you to write me
a letter of resignation
126
00:08:42,923 --> 00:08:45,497
and I want it on my desk
within the hour!
127
00:08:45,676 --> 00:08:47,087
Right.
128
00:08:48,179 --> 00:08:50,671
I thought you might possibly...
129
00:08:51,808 --> 00:08:53,220
Right.
130
00:08:54,353 --> 00:08:56,927
Please, Francis, couldn't you just...
131
00:08:57,816 --> 00:09:00,438
No, of course, you're right. I see that.
132
00:09:01,695 --> 00:09:05,824
Please, Francis, I couldn't bear it,
out there in the cold.
133
00:09:05,992 --> 00:09:10,785
Sign the letter, but don't date it.
What's this wretched man's name?
134
00:09:10,956 --> 00:09:13,530
Tennent. Richard Porterhouse Tennent.
135
00:09:13,751 --> 00:09:17,536
- Francis, I need hardly say...
- Sit down and shut up!
136
00:09:19,717 --> 00:09:24,131
Get me a Richard Tennent,
local chairman, Hampshire Southeast.
137
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,143
Francis?
138
00:09:28,311 --> 00:09:32,605
- You really are utterly contemptible.
- I wouldn't go that far.
139
00:09:32,816 --> 00:09:35,386
No background, no bottom,
140
00:09:35,387 --> 00:09:38,357
absolutely no informing
principle but the will to survive.
141
00:09:38,573 --> 00:09:42,025
Just a plump little bag
of squirming appetites.
142
00:09:42,202 --> 00:09:44,776
- Francis, that's a bit harsh.
- Shut up!
143
00:09:44,997 --> 00:09:49,162
You thought you could endanger
my government with impunity
144
00:09:49,336 --> 00:09:51,940
just because I may find
your company amusing
145
00:09:52,141 --> 00:09:54,544
and smile at your little jokes?
146
00:09:55,426 --> 00:09:58,428
I've been an utter fool.
I am an utter fool.
147
00:09:59,264 --> 00:10:01,756
But, Francis, I've always been for you.
148
00:10:02,727 --> 00:10:06,725
You've been my guiding light, my hero,
right from way back.
149
00:10:06,899 --> 00:10:11,396
Look into your heart, Francis.
You know, I'd do anything for you.
150
00:10:12,906 --> 00:10:15,480
Yes?
151
00:10:15,659 --> 00:10:18,530
- Mr Tennent, sir.
- Good. Put him on.
152
00:10:21,291 --> 00:10:23,782
Mr Tennent, Francis Urquhart.
153
00:10:23,961 --> 00:10:28,125
Sorry to spring this on you,
but I wanted a confidential word.
154
00:10:28,299 --> 00:10:30,854
You know you've been put up
for an honour for public
155
00:10:31,055 --> 00:10:33,009
and political services?
156
00:10:33,180 --> 00:10:37,179
No? Well, I think
you deserve something a little better.
157
00:10:37,352 --> 00:10:39,559
A knighthood, in fact.
158
00:10:39,730 --> 00:10:41,141
Yes.
159
00:10:41,315 --> 00:10:43,580
Well, special people
don't always realise
160
00:10:43,781 --> 00:10:45,645
how special they are.
161
00:10:45,820 --> 00:10:48,359
There's a waiting list
of about 18 months
162
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:50,898
and all this must remain confidential.
163
00:10:51,077 --> 00:10:53,319
You do understand that?
164
00:10:53,496 --> 00:10:59,002
Good, but I shall be inviting you
and...Lady Tennent to dinner very soon.
165
00:11:00,504 --> 00:11:02,830
Yes. Now, one last thing.
166
00:11:03,007 --> 00:11:05,629
I'm sorry to have to ask you this,
167
00:11:05,802 --> 00:11:09,848
but as this will be carrying
my personal recommendation,
168
00:11:10,016 --> 00:11:15,058
the Scrutiny Committee isn't likely
to come across anything embarrassing?
169
00:11:15,230 --> 00:11:20,024
Sadly, we've had one or two cases
where honours have had to be withdrawn.
170
00:11:21,029 --> 00:11:22,856
Excellent.
171
00:11:23,073 --> 00:11:26,739
Goodbye, then,
and my best regards to Lady Tennent.
172
00:11:26,911 --> 00:11:29,403
We'll see you both very soon.
173
00:11:29,581 --> 00:11:31,123
Bye-bye.
174
00:11:34,170 --> 00:11:36,412
Francis, what can I say?
175
00:11:36,589 --> 00:11:39,295
I still want that letter, Geoffrey.
176
00:11:39,510 --> 00:11:43,425
I decide who comes and goes
from my cabinet and when.
177
00:11:43,598 --> 00:11:45,687
Not the tabloids
178
00:11:45,688 --> 00:11:48,177
and not some dreary little
constituency chairman.
179
00:11:48,854 --> 00:11:51,428
All right, Geoffrey, off you go.
180
00:11:54,444 --> 00:11:57,778
- Thank you, Francis. With all my heart.
- Yes, yes.
181
00:12:00,994 --> 00:12:03,100
Oh, and, Geoffrey,
182
00:12:03,101 --> 00:12:05,407
that was your knighthood
I bought him off with.
183
00:12:16,053 --> 00:12:18,130
Oh, hello, Claire.
184
00:12:20,475 --> 00:12:24,344
- You're looking gorgeous, as ever.
- Thank you, Geoffrey.
185
00:12:24,522 --> 00:12:28,188
- How is he today?
- In cracking form. Never better.
186
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,732
Having a whale of a time.
187
00:12:34,325 --> 00:12:37,362
Yes?
188
00:12:38,122 --> 00:12:39,664
Claire!
189
00:12:41,542 --> 00:12:44,116
- Do sit down.
- Thank you.
190
00:12:52,264 --> 00:12:53,806
Well?
191
00:12:53,974 --> 00:12:56,478
Is Geoffrey Booza Pitt OK?
192
00:12:56,479 --> 00:12:59,182
He usually looks like the cat
that got the cream.
193
00:12:59,355 --> 00:13:02,143
I think he just lost
one of his nine lives.
194
00:13:06,697 --> 00:13:10,743
Why do you want to be
my Parliamentary Private Secretary?
195
00:13:11,411 --> 00:13:13,891
I think I could do the job well.
196
00:13:13,892 --> 00:13:16,371
I think I have the sort
of cleverness you need.
197
00:13:16,543 --> 00:13:19,165
What sort of cleverness is that?
198
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,879
The Prime Minister's PPS
needs to be very well informed,
199
00:13:24,052 --> 00:13:28,382
but a lot of it comes down to instinct,
being clever about people,
200
00:13:28,557 --> 00:13:31,677
screening out the self-seekers,
lots more.
201
00:13:31,853 --> 00:13:35,768
You realise that my PPS
is a spare set of brains for me?
202
00:13:35,983 --> 00:13:40,645
You wouldn't be able to be seen
to have any political views of your own
203
00:13:40,822 --> 00:13:44,191
and all your talents
would be at my disposal.
204
00:13:44,368 --> 00:13:46,942
That's one of the attractions.
205
00:13:47,121 --> 00:13:50,870
I'm not driven by burning visions
of a holy city.
206
00:13:51,042 --> 00:13:53,534
I just love politics, you know.
207
00:13:54,004 --> 00:13:56,246
I can't get enough of it.
208
00:13:56,424 --> 00:13:57,799
Good.
209
00:13:59,427 --> 00:14:01,800
Could I ask you something?
210
00:14:01,972 --> 00:14:05,223
Why did you appoint
Barry Crumb to this job
211
00:14:05,435 --> 00:14:08,032
and why did you keep
him on in it so long
212
00:14:08,233 --> 00:14:10,430
when clearly he wasn't up to it?
213
00:14:11,108 --> 00:14:15,937
As you're so clever about people,
perhaps you'd like to suggest an answer.
214
00:14:16,823 --> 00:14:20,525
My guess is that you're extremely wary
about trusting people.
215
00:14:21,287 --> 00:14:25,997
You prefer to appoint a fool to the job
rather than risk appointing a knave.
216
00:14:26,168 --> 00:14:28,244
Very good.
217
00:14:28,420 --> 00:14:30,710
Very near the mark.
218
00:14:31,382 --> 00:14:32,960
So, erm...
219
00:14:34,636 --> 00:14:37,128
What should I do this time?
220
00:14:37,848 --> 00:14:40,422
You know what I'm going to say.
221
00:14:40,602 --> 00:14:42,884
Appoint someone both
clever and trustworthy.
222
00:14:43,085 --> 00:14:44,766
And trust her.
223
00:14:45,441 --> 00:14:47,932
Could I trust you, Claire?
224
00:14:49,195 --> 00:14:51,272
Yes, you could.
225
00:14:51,949 --> 00:14:56,742
I'd like to take a little more time
to think about this. One last thing...
226
00:14:56,913 --> 00:14:59,469
Is there anything
I should know about you
227
00:14:59,670 --> 00:15:01,825
that might affect my decision?
228
00:15:02,002 --> 00:15:06,167
Anything in your past life,
anything in your personal life?
229
00:15:06,341 --> 00:15:10,007
The kind of thing that
if I found out about it later,
230
00:15:10,179 --> 00:15:12,361
I might think I wish
I'd known about that
231
00:15:12,562 --> 00:15:14,343
when I appointed her.
232
00:15:16,478 --> 00:15:19,978
I've been having an affair
with Tom Makepeace.
233
00:15:20,775 --> 00:15:22,317
Really?
234
00:15:23,069 --> 00:15:25,643
Thank you for sharing that with me.
235
00:15:25,823 --> 00:15:30,616
I felt in all fairness you should know.
You deserve absolute honesty from me.
236
00:15:30,787 --> 00:15:33,409
I said you could trust me and you can.
237
00:15:34,249 --> 00:15:38,580
Being clever about people,
you took the gamble that I knew already.
238
00:15:38,797 --> 00:15:42,961
If I knew already and you lied about it,
you'd be utterly sunk.
239
00:15:43,135 --> 00:15:46,671
Coming clean would limit
the damage at worst.
240
00:15:46,848 --> 00:15:49,386
But what if I didn't know?
241
00:15:49,559 --> 00:15:53,261
What if this were
the first time I'd heard of it
242
00:15:53,481 --> 00:15:56,601
and you've just blurted it out
unnecessarily?
243
00:15:57,277 --> 00:16:01,739
Well, that was the gamble,
that was the risk you had to take.
244
00:16:01,949 --> 00:16:06,529
At worst, I'd think this woman is
a bit too open with herself,
245
00:16:06,705 --> 00:16:09,707
a bit too honest to get on in politics.
246
00:16:10,543 --> 00:16:12,785
But she's awfully sweet.
247
00:16:14,715 --> 00:16:17,965
I don't want anyone
to think of me as sweet.
248
00:16:18,636 --> 00:16:20,925
- Or devious.
- Don't you?
249
00:16:23,225 --> 00:16:26,677
- Did you know I was having an affair?
- Of course!
250
00:16:27,397 --> 00:16:30,647
I should imagine half Westminster knows.
251
00:16:30,817 --> 00:16:33,439
It's the common gossip of the House.
252
00:16:33,612 --> 00:16:36,982
And you think
I should engage you as my PPS
253
00:16:37,158 --> 00:16:40,279
and make you privy
to all my thinking and decisions
254
00:16:40,454 --> 00:16:45,283
while you're conducting a liaison
with the man who wants to chop me down?
255
00:16:45,460 --> 00:16:48,331
You're clearly considering it seriously.
256
00:16:48,547 --> 00:16:53,542
You're far too busy to get me up here
simply to embarrass and humiliate me.
257
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,211
That's very good, Claire.
258
00:16:56,390 --> 00:17:00,435
You're thinking of gambling too,
that I might betray him to you.
259
00:17:00,645 --> 00:17:02,721
And would you?
260
00:17:04,107 --> 00:17:06,681
There's surprisingly little to betray.
261
00:17:06,861 --> 00:17:10,906
He doesn't want to chop you down.
He admires you very much.
262
00:17:11,074 --> 00:17:13,696
Does he? That's awfully good of him.
263
00:17:13,869 --> 00:17:17,570
He wishes you valued him more.
He feels misunderstood.
264
00:17:17,790 --> 00:17:19,867
Good God!
265
00:17:20,043 --> 00:17:24,753
He's soft in the middle.
He's weak and sentimental. He's a loser.
266
00:17:24,924 --> 00:17:27,521
If it came to a fight, you
could take him any time.
267
00:17:27,722 --> 00:17:29,919
You could take any of them.
268
00:17:30,097 --> 00:17:32,802
That's why I want to be with you.
269
00:17:38,816 --> 00:17:41,188
But can I really trust her?
270
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:43,715
Why, with so much at stake,
271
00:17:43,716 --> 00:17:46,070
should I feel this urge
to put myself at risk?
272
00:17:46,241 --> 00:17:49,492
Why don't I just ditch
the pair of them now?
273
00:17:49,662 --> 00:17:53,197
Unprofessional conduct,
palpable security risk,
274
00:17:53,375 --> 00:17:58,038
selfish pursuit of private pleasure
at the expense of the public good
275
00:17:58,214 --> 00:18:00,818
and the whole smug, hypocritical,
276
00:18:00,819 --> 00:18:03,422
"Times" editorial slop
bucket of morality.
277
00:18:03,595 --> 00:18:06,169
Nothing simpler, nothing safer.
278
00:18:06,807 --> 00:18:09,263
Two at a stroke. Finish.
279
00:18:11,021 --> 00:18:12,563
Right...
280
00:18:21,450 --> 00:18:22,826
Yes?
281
00:18:22,993 --> 00:18:25,450
Claire Carlsen, Francis Urquhart.
282
00:18:25,622 --> 00:18:28,991
I thought you'd like
to know the job is yours.
283
00:18:30,586 --> 00:18:32,959
That's absolutely confidential.
284
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,332
Don't tell anyone else
for the time being.
285
00:18:35,550 --> 00:18:37,839
No, of course not.
286
00:18:38,011 --> 00:18:39,886
Thank you.
287
00:18:40,056 --> 00:18:41,515
It's...
288
00:18:42,684 --> 00:18:47,263
Forgive me, it's...rather a shock.
I convinced myself I'd blown it.
289
00:18:47,481 --> 00:18:50,732
Yes, I rather surprised myself.
Goodnight.
290
00:18:52,529 --> 00:18:53,988
Yes!
291
00:18:55,199 --> 00:18:59,743
Sometimes the safe thing
is just too safe and sensible.
292
00:19:00,831 --> 00:19:04,366
Some games are just
too interesting to resist.
293
00:19:07,755 --> 00:19:11,920
You haven't picked the best year
for record-keeping in Cyprus.
294
00:19:12,762 --> 00:19:17,471
October 1956 was Suez and Cyprus
turned into one big transit camp,
295
00:19:17,642 --> 00:19:20,216
whole regiments coming through.
296
00:19:20,396 --> 00:19:23,516
The last thing anyone worried about
was paperwork.
297
00:19:23,691 --> 00:19:26,147
You might be lucky, though.
298
00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:29,440
- There. Troodos Mountains.
- Are you sure?
299
00:19:29,615 --> 00:19:32,617
- I was there.
- We'd like to see this one.
300
00:19:32,827 --> 00:19:38,036
7438. "Report on security situation
and EOKA resistance interception
301
00:19:38,209 --> 00:19:41,828
"in the Troodos Mountains,
April to October 1956."
302
00:19:42,005 --> 00:19:44,716
OK. The search may take
at least an hour.
303
00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:47,427
It's never been digitally referenced.
304
00:19:47,637 --> 00:19:50,128
That's all right. We'll wait.
305
00:19:50,307 --> 00:19:54,175
Go and have a coffee.
I'll give you a bleep when we find it.
306
00:19:54,353 --> 00:19:58,517
- Thank you very much.
- All mod cons. Coffee shop's that way.
307
00:19:58,692 --> 00:20:00,898
The coffee's a bit crap,
308
00:20:00,899 --> 00:20:03,105
but they do lemon tea.
That's quite good.
309
00:20:03,322 --> 00:20:05,944
I thought I'd mention it.
Cyprus and so on.
310
00:20:06,159 --> 00:20:08,781
- Thanks.
- You're very welcome.
311
00:20:12,166 --> 00:20:16,461
- How long have you got?
- Ten minutes. You didn't have to cook.
312
00:20:16,630 --> 00:20:19,382
I love to cook. I love to cook for you.
313
00:20:19,550 --> 00:20:22,124
This is about the only chance I get.
314
00:20:23,304 --> 00:20:26,591
I wish we had time
for a bloody great blowout!
315
00:20:28,227 --> 00:20:30,303
There you go.
316
00:20:30,980 --> 00:20:34,432
- What about you?
- I'm fine. Go on, eat.
317
00:20:44,747 --> 00:20:46,206
Look...
318
00:20:46,374 --> 00:20:48,865
This is a bit awkward.
319
00:20:49,044 --> 00:20:52,330
I think we ought to let this
cool off for a while.
320
00:20:53,007 --> 00:20:56,127
- What do you mean?
- People know about us.
321
00:20:57,304 --> 00:20:59,925
- Besides Hilary?
- So I understand.
322
00:21:00,099 --> 00:21:02,175
From whom?
323
00:21:02,351 --> 00:21:05,970
- Geoffrey Booza Pitt hinted at it.
- How does he know?
324
00:21:06,147 --> 00:21:09,268
Does it matter?
If he knows, everybody knows.
325
00:21:09,443 --> 00:21:10,819
Hell!
326
00:21:10,987 --> 00:21:13,318
If he's telling people about us,
327
00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:15,650
it's best it isn't true,
for the time being.
328
00:21:15,826 --> 00:21:19,611
Or come out in the open.
Let them do the worst they can.
329
00:21:19,789 --> 00:21:24,084
You know I'd never leave Bjorn.
I told you right from the start.
330
00:21:24,253 --> 00:21:26,826
And you'd never leave Hilary.
331
00:21:27,006 --> 00:21:29,230
I don't know. Might be
the best thing for her,
332
00:21:29,431 --> 00:21:31,254
as well as me.
333
00:21:32,971 --> 00:21:35,178
- There's something else.
- What?
334
00:21:35,391 --> 00:21:38,511
It's absolutely confidential.
I haven't told Bjorn.
335
00:21:38,687 --> 00:21:40,763
What is it?
336
00:21:42,024 --> 00:21:45,228
Francis Urquhart has asked me
to be his PPS.
337
00:21:45,403 --> 00:21:48,523
- And you've accepted?
- Yes, of course.
338
00:21:48,699 --> 00:21:51,155
Don't look at me like that, Tom.
339
00:21:51,368 --> 00:21:54,370
I'm ambitious.
It's the fast lane to promotion.
340
00:21:54,581 --> 00:21:57,302
Is that all it is for you?
I thought you wanted
341
00:21:57,503 --> 00:21:59,623
to change things for the better.
342
00:21:59,795 --> 00:22:02,797
I do. I just need
to get myself a foothold.
343
00:22:03,007 --> 00:22:05,581
It isn't easy for a woman, Tom.
344
00:22:05,761 --> 00:22:09,095
This is the chance to make myself
a power base
345
00:22:09,265 --> 00:22:11,887
and when I've got it,
I'll use it for good.
346
00:22:12,060 --> 00:22:14,634
- You said you loved me.
- I do.
347
00:22:14,813 --> 00:22:18,349
And you couldn't imagine life
without me. Cool off?
348
00:22:18,568 --> 00:22:20,727
Tom, you're the best.
349
00:22:20,904 --> 00:22:23,063
The very best for me.
350
00:22:23,782 --> 00:22:26,190
You give pure gold.
351
00:22:26,953 --> 00:22:29,242
It's just that it's a bit...
352
00:22:31,416 --> 00:22:33,508
..a bit bloody awkward
at the moment, Tom.
353
00:22:33,709 --> 00:22:35,201
That's all.
354
00:22:40,511 --> 00:22:44,675
"From the information received,
I arranged to meet my contact
355
00:22:44,849 --> 00:22:49,512
"at the red rocks above Spilia village.
I was attacked by rifle fire..."
356
00:22:49,688 --> 00:22:53,307
- Bloody liar!
- "There were two, possibly three men.
357
00:22:53,485 --> 00:22:55,789
"I took cover, returned fire"
358
00:22:55,990 --> 00:22:58,693
"and managed to shoot
both the terrorists dead."
359
00:22:58,866 --> 00:23:02,699
He murdered them in cold blood!
My brothers.
360
00:23:02,871 --> 00:23:05,445
"I was unable to identify the gunmen.
361
00:23:05,624 --> 00:23:09,457
"They had nothing
to enable me to make the identification.
362
00:23:09,629 --> 00:23:12,150
"I had to consider
the risks of reprisal,"
363
00:23:12,251 --> 00:23:14,671
"so I buried the bodies
at map reference..."
364
00:23:14,885 --> 00:23:17,424
And there's no signature.
365
00:23:18,139 --> 00:23:20,216
It was him.
366
00:23:28,485 --> 00:23:30,976
- This is a photocopy?
- Yes.
367
00:23:31,155 --> 00:23:35,818
- So there'll be an original?
- Probably at the Ministry of Defence.
368
00:23:35,994 --> 00:23:39,613
They won't release it
till well after everyone's dead
369
00:23:39,790 --> 00:23:43,456
to protect the identity
of British personnel still living.
370
00:23:43,628 --> 00:23:46,333
They're keen not to upset people.
371
00:23:46,548 --> 00:23:49,040
Yeah, I bet they are!
372
00:23:50,303 --> 00:23:52,877
Update on the Cyprus talks, Tom.
373
00:23:53,056 --> 00:23:56,556
Prime Minister,
I thought you'd taken it off my hands.
374
00:23:56,727 --> 00:24:00,061
No, you do the hard work
and I take the credit.
375
00:24:00,273 --> 00:24:02,504
I think we all know that.
376
00:24:02,505 --> 00:24:04,735
It's an arrangement
that works very well.
377
00:24:04,904 --> 00:24:09,650
Well, I keep in constant touch
with both sides and I remain optimistic.
378
00:24:10,327 --> 00:24:12,765
Dimitri Nicolaou and Yassa Yunis
379
00:24:12,766 --> 00:24:15,203
are exceptionally
enlightened politicians,
380
00:24:15,374 --> 00:24:18,910
both prepared to bury
decades of bitter strife.
381
00:24:19,087 --> 00:24:22,706
It's been almost 25 years
since the Turkish invasion
382
00:24:22,883 --> 00:24:28,092
and a Greek Cypriot can see a Turk
living in what he regards as his house.
383
00:24:29,224 --> 00:24:31,835
Nicolaou has to deal very tactfully
384
00:24:31,836 --> 00:24:34,646
with a lot of very fierce
nationalist opposition.
385
00:24:34,856 --> 00:24:39,020
A lot depends on the final details
of the border demarcation.
386
00:24:39,195 --> 00:24:42,611
If that's seen by all sides
as fair and equitable...
387
00:24:42,824 --> 00:24:45,576
A British judge
will make damn sure it is.
388
00:24:45,786 --> 00:24:48,314
I trust and pray that he will.
389
00:24:48,315 --> 00:24:51,243
This Cyprus settlement
is very close to my heart.
390
00:24:52,043 --> 00:24:54,333
In more ways than one.
391
00:24:54,505 --> 00:24:56,552
Which reminds me
392
00:24:56,553 --> 00:24:58,799
it's timeto do a little
priming of the pension plan.
393
00:25:21,287 --> 00:25:23,576
There he is over there.
394
00:25:23,748 --> 00:25:27,200
Oh, yes, I remember now.
Rather a nice man.
395
00:25:27,419 --> 00:25:30,255
Rather a useful man, I hope. Be careful.
396
00:25:30,423 --> 00:25:34,920
He's very sharp on the nuances
and utterly incorruptible.
397
00:25:35,095 --> 00:25:39,758
You go and chat to your new prot�g�e.
I can handle this.
398
00:25:41,519 --> 00:25:43,596
Good hunting.
399
00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:49,695
Hello.
400
00:25:49,863 --> 00:25:52,188
I'm Elizabeth Urquhart.
401
00:25:52,366 --> 00:25:55,486
We did meet briefly
at a do at Mansion House,
402
00:25:55,661 --> 00:25:58,235
but you probably won't remember me.
403
00:25:58,415 --> 00:26:00,746
Of course I do. Clive Watling.
404
00:26:00,747 --> 00:26:03,078
Oh, yes!
It was on the tip of my tongue.
405
00:26:03,254 --> 00:26:05,792
Now, you're the er...
406
00:26:05,965 --> 00:26:08,403
Don't tell me, it's coming.
407
00:26:08,404 --> 00:26:10,842
You're the judge,
the international judge.
408
00:26:11,013 --> 00:26:13,711
The most distinguished
international judge in Europe,
409
00:26:13,912 --> 00:26:16,009
my husband tells me.
410
00:26:16,687 --> 00:26:21,266
Should I be frightened of you?
Not unless I've done something wrong!
411
00:26:21,442 --> 00:26:22,985
Exactly.
412
00:26:23,153 --> 00:26:25,525
So...what's it like?
413
00:26:25,697 --> 00:26:28,044
Are you actually doing
any of it at the moment?
414
00:26:28,245 --> 00:26:29,992
Judging, I mean.
415
00:26:30,161 --> 00:26:32,735
I'm so frightfully ignorant
about the law.
416
00:26:32,914 --> 00:26:35,584
I sort of picture you
sitting in judgment
417
00:26:35,685 --> 00:26:38,254
over some frightful
international criminal
418
00:26:38,421 --> 00:26:40,919
like that chap in "Batman",
419
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,417
but I suppose it's rather
more cerebral than that.
420
00:26:43,594 --> 00:26:45,805
It can be like that,
421
00:26:45,806 --> 00:26:49,016
but more typically one arbitrates
in some international negotiation.
422
00:26:49,684 --> 00:26:52,365
Just now it's Cyprus,
finalising the sea boundaries,
423
00:26:52,566 --> 00:26:54,846
fishing rights and so on.
424
00:26:55,024 --> 00:26:57,646
Cyprus! That must be a tricky one.
425
00:26:57,819 --> 00:27:02,363
Not especially. The area of difference
is clear and not very large.
426
00:27:02,533 --> 00:27:06,532
There's a certain amount
of ritual posturing to endure.
427
00:27:06,705 --> 00:27:11,083
The French are often prone to that
and this case is no exception.
428
00:27:11,252 --> 00:27:14,372
And all that oil
must complicate things too.
429
00:27:14,548 --> 00:27:18,498
What oil? There isn't any oil.
Not in significant amounts.
430
00:27:18,678 --> 00:27:23,340
We have the most recent seismic surveys.
Oil's not part of the picture.
431
00:27:23,517 --> 00:27:26,297
But didn't the French
have another survey done,
432
00:27:26,498 --> 00:27:28,678
all very hush-hush?
433
00:27:28,856 --> 00:27:33,270
I'm sure I heard something about it.
Perhaps I wasn't supposed to.
434
00:27:33,445 --> 00:27:36,067
Apparently there's oodles of the stuff.
435
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,637
If it goes to the Greek side,
436
00:27:38,638 --> 00:27:41,034
the French will have
the exploitation rights.
437
00:27:41,914 --> 00:27:44,156
Something like that.
438
00:27:44,333 --> 00:27:48,414
But wouldn't that make things
very difficult for a French judge?
439
00:27:48,630 --> 00:27:51,751
You know, to remain impartial and so on?
440
00:27:51,926 --> 00:27:54,880
Yes, it would. It should.
441
00:27:56,598 --> 00:27:59,718
Oh, I do hope
I haven't complicated things.
442
00:27:59,894 --> 00:28:02,599
I was sure you would know all about it.
443
00:28:04,024 --> 00:28:06,349
I've rather put my foot in it.
444
00:28:06,568 --> 00:28:08,645
No, not at all.
445
00:28:08,821 --> 00:28:13,614
I have to deal with the facts
as they're presented to me as evidence.
446
00:28:13,785 --> 00:28:17,535
And I shall. One or two things
have just become clear.
447
00:28:17,748 --> 00:28:19,955
Oh, I really am awful.
448
00:28:20,126 --> 00:28:22,832
Still a blurter after all these years!
449
00:28:23,005 --> 00:28:26,125
- Please say you'll forgive me.
- Yes, of course.
450
00:28:26,843 --> 00:28:29,085
You weren't to know.
451
00:28:32,391 --> 00:28:36,342
I'd like to talk to you
about Tom Makepeace, Claire.
452
00:28:36,521 --> 00:28:38,847
Yes, I thought you would.
453
00:28:39,024 --> 00:28:41,604
It's all right. Of course
I'll stop seeing him.
454
00:28:41,805 --> 00:28:44,185
I was ready to end it in any case.
455
00:28:44,405 --> 00:28:47,258
Tom doesn't handle these things well
456
00:28:47,259 --> 00:28:50,112
and if half Westminster
knows about it...
457
00:28:50,287 --> 00:28:52,364
I exaggerated.
458
00:28:54,042 --> 00:28:56,563
If I said that I would prefer it
459
00:28:56,564 --> 00:28:59,084
if you didn't cut off
from him completely,
460
00:28:59,298 --> 00:29:02,466
would that make life
impossibly difficult for you?
461
00:29:02,677 --> 00:29:05,003
Not impossibly difficult, no.
462
00:29:05,222 --> 00:29:09,386
I haven't gone off him or anything.
Not in the physical sense.
463
00:29:10,061 --> 00:29:12,517
Quite the reverse, in fact.
464
00:29:12,689 --> 00:29:16,225
We're extraordinarily
well attuned in that respect.
465
00:29:22,660 --> 00:29:25,531
You want me to spy on him?
466
00:29:25,747 --> 00:29:28,417
I want to know what he really wants.
467
00:29:28,625 --> 00:29:32,161
No one could be as selfless
as he purports to be.
468
00:29:32,380 --> 00:29:36,425
- What does he say to you?
- We don't talk about politics much.
469
00:29:36,593 --> 00:29:40,971
- That's not what we're about.
- Claire, what does he say about me?
470
00:29:41,140 --> 00:29:43,217
The whole truth, now!
471
00:29:43,393 --> 00:29:46,644
He doesn't like you,
but that won't surprise you.
472
00:29:46,855 --> 00:29:50,688
He admires your ability,
but thinks you've used it to wrong ends.
473
00:29:50,902 --> 00:29:55,446
He thinks your policy on Europe
could lead to England's isolation.
474
00:29:56,408 --> 00:29:58,982
He thinks you're past it, in decline.
475
00:29:59,203 --> 00:30:01,660
Too old to cut the mustard.
476
00:30:03,542 --> 00:30:05,998
Only one question remains.
477
00:30:06,170 --> 00:30:10,335
Is he going to challenge
for the leadership and if so, when?
478
00:30:11,593 --> 00:30:14,049
- I don't know.
- Find out!
479
00:30:36,540 --> 00:30:38,866
Oh, you know...
480
00:30:39,043 --> 00:30:41,617
I really thought I'd lost you.
481
00:30:42,297 --> 00:30:44,373
I couldn't...
482
00:30:44,549 --> 00:30:47,551
I couldn't bear the thought
of not doing this,
483
00:30:47,752 --> 00:30:50,554
not giving you all...
484
00:30:52,267 --> 00:30:54,426
It feels so good.
485
00:31:02,071 --> 00:31:04,396
So this is cooling off?
486
00:31:05,074 --> 00:31:07,316
Being sensible, is it?
487
00:31:07,494 --> 00:31:09,570
Don't mock me!
488
00:31:09,746 --> 00:31:12,320
I can't help it if I'm hooked on you.
489
00:31:17,839 --> 00:31:19,417
Oh, God!
490
00:31:20,593 --> 00:31:22,752
You're so lovely.
491
00:31:23,930 --> 00:31:26,007
I'm so lucky.
492
00:31:27,142 --> 00:31:28,720
We are.
493
00:31:29,395 --> 00:31:32,017
Oh, we are lucky!
494
00:31:44,788 --> 00:31:47,078
Does he know about us?
495
00:31:50,337 --> 00:31:52,793
I really don't think I care.
496
00:31:53,465 --> 00:31:56,087
I'm sure he doesn't have much interest.
497
00:31:57,971 --> 00:32:02,016
He's so cold-blooded,
he's like an old lizard on a rock,
498
00:32:02,184 --> 00:32:04,640
those pale eyes flickering!
499
00:32:08,358 --> 00:32:11,360
I think he's quite scared of you, Tom.
500
00:32:15,033 --> 00:32:17,655
He's never shown me much sign of it.
501
00:32:17,828 --> 00:32:22,621
You're far less dangerous to him
inside the cabinet than outside.
502
00:32:22,834 --> 00:32:26,085
He'd love to sack you,
but he's scared that if he did...
503
00:32:26,255 --> 00:32:28,663
I'd go for the party leadership?
504
00:32:28,883 --> 00:32:32,668
Everyone knows you could win
the next election.
505
00:32:32,888 --> 00:32:35,510
You're far more popular now than he is.
506
00:32:36,726 --> 00:32:38,802
You know what?
507
00:32:39,521 --> 00:32:41,597
Foreign Secretary.
508
00:32:43,192 --> 00:32:45,434
That's all I ever wanted.
509
00:32:46,154 --> 00:32:48,728
But if he continues to interfere,
510
00:32:50,117 --> 00:32:53,321
if he undoes
all those patient achievements,
511
00:32:56,291 --> 00:32:58,913
if he stops me doing my job,
512
00:33:00,546 --> 00:33:03,037
then I'll bloody well have his!
513
00:33:03,967 --> 00:33:05,342
Yes!
514
00:33:09,890 --> 00:33:12,809
And you might communicate that to him
515
00:33:13,854 --> 00:33:16,392
in that...tactful way
516
00:33:16,565 --> 00:33:19,270
you PPSs...cultivate.
517
00:33:22,906 --> 00:33:24,983
I'll try.
518
00:33:25,159 --> 00:33:26,867
Oh, Tom!
519
00:33:27,078 --> 00:33:29,534
I'm so glad you said that.
520
00:33:30,832 --> 00:33:35,542
I think you should challenge,
and the sooner the better for all of us.
521
00:33:36,839 --> 00:33:40,209
I really thought
you'd gone over to his side.
522
00:33:41,679 --> 00:33:43,921
How could I do that?
523
00:33:44,766 --> 00:33:47,138
You're in my heart, Tom.
524
00:33:47,853 --> 00:33:50,059
You're in my bones.
525
00:33:54,778 --> 00:33:58,194
- Mrs Carlsen, have you a moment?
- Later.
526
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,670
He'll take any shit you hand out
so long as he can keep his job.
527
00:34:12,841 --> 00:34:15,796
What if I take his job away from him?
528
00:34:16,011 --> 00:34:18,585
He might feel he had to fight you then.
529
00:34:18,765 --> 00:34:21,173
What should I do, Claire?
530
00:34:21,351 --> 00:34:25,302
Don't ask me that about Tom.
Not after all we've had together.
531
00:34:25,523 --> 00:34:28,228
What would you do in my place?
532
00:34:29,319 --> 00:34:31,396
Get rid of him.
533
00:34:46,631 --> 00:34:48,292
Elizabeth?
534
00:34:48,467 --> 00:34:50,959
Oh! Thank you.
535
00:34:56,852 --> 00:34:59,344
Forgive me, Francis...
536
00:34:59,522 --> 00:35:02,144
Is what you're considering wise?
537
00:35:02,317 --> 00:35:04,808
I haven't made up my mind yet.
538
00:35:04,987 --> 00:35:09,282
Francis, you might do something
on a whim or in a flash of temper.
539
00:35:09,451 --> 00:35:13,401
- All the more fun.
- Think, Francis. Remember Stamper.
540
00:35:13,580 --> 00:35:16,184
You underestimated him,
541
00:35:16,185 --> 00:35:18,789
his capacity for malice,
resentment, revenge.
542
00:35:18,962 --> 00:35:23,126
You thought he was your creature,
but he turned against you.
543
00:35:23,300 --> 00:35:28,296
Ultimately Stamper underestimated me,
but this case is entirely different.
544
00:35:28,473 --> 00:35:31,261
Makepeace was never my creature.
545
00:35:31,435 --> 00:35:35,765
He's a disruptive influence,
totally isolated in the cabinet.
546
00:35:35,941 --> 00:35:39,061
Not in the parliamentary party
or in the country.
547
00:35:39,236 --> 00:35:43,531
If you humiliate him in the reshuffle,
he'll turn against you.
548
00:35:43,700 --> 00:35:47,485
Leave him where he is
and he has to make supportive noises.
549
00:35:48,456 --> 00:35:50,698
In public at any rate.
550
00:35:50,875 --> 00:35:53,373
Wait until he does something
551
00:35:53,374 --> 00:35:55,871
to make himself less popular,
then be rid of him.
552
00:35:56,048 --> 00:35:58,290
That would be sensible.
553
00:36:00,011 --> 00:36:04,057
One wonders if your new girl
is giving you the best advice.
554
00:36:04,225 --> 00:36:07,843
She's not just telling you
what you want to hear, I hope?
555
00:36:08,021 --> 00:36:12,185
One doesn't detect
the tiniest trace of jealousy, does one?
556
00:36:12,359 --> 00:36:14,436
Hardly, Francis.
557
00:36:16,448 --> 00:36:20,493
A little pique perhaps
because I didn't choose her for you.
558
00:36:20,703 --> 00:36:25,116
But overwhelmingly concerned
for your welfare, your security.
559
00:36:25,876 --> 00:36:30,752
These final years should be a triumphant
consolidation, not a desperate struggle.
560
00:36:30,965 --> 00:36:35,427
You're not suggesting that a contest
between Makepeace and myself
561
00:36:35,596 --> 00:36:38,169
would be a desperate struggle?
562
00:36:38,349 --> 00:36:41,137
I can take the man any time I like.
563
00:36:41,311 --> 00:36:43,885
Of course you could.
564
00:36:44,690 --> 00:36:47,187
What thrillingly pugnacious language!
565
00:36:47,188 --> 00:36:49,685
But why put yourself
to all that trouble?
566
00:36:50,572 --> 00:36:54,238
After all, it's not as if
you had anything to prove.
567
00:36:56,412 --> 00:36:58,904
I think I'll go up, Francis.
568
00:36:59,082 --> 00:37:01,574
Well, I won't be very long.
569
00:37:04,881 --> 00:37:07,277
Of course she's right.
570
00:37:07,278 --> 00:37:09,674
I have nothing to prove
and I have nothing to fear.
571
00:37:09,845 --> 00:37:14,175
No one can threaten me now.
No one is left who can threaten me now.
572
00:37:14,350 --> 00:37:16,972
Mattie gone, Stamper and Sarah gone,
573
00:37:17,145 --> 00:37:20,930
Roger O'Neill,
with his brave, terrified smile, gone.
574
00:37:21,108 --> 00:37:22,686
All gone.
575
00:37:23,695 --> 00:37:27,480
No one knows anything
that could possibly damage me,
576
00:37:27,658 --> 00:37:30,232
except Corder and Elizabeth.
577
00:37:30,411 --> 00:37:32,488
And myself.
578
00:37:32,664 --> 00:37:35,120
So what do I have to fear...
579
00:37:36,126 --> 00:37:38,203
..but fear itself?
580
00:37:40,340 --> 00:37:44,670
You're very privileged. I don't know
anyone else who's invited up here.
581
00:37:44,845 --> 00:37:49,674
- I'm still waiting for my invitation.
- It's his own private roof garden?
582
00:37:49,851 --> 00:37:52,722
Not quite. In theory, any MP can use it,
583
00:37:52,897 --> 00:37:57,025
but the Prime Minister comes up here
when he needs to be alone
584
00:37:57,193 --> 00:38:01,903
to think something through,
and doesn't welcome any intrusions.
585
00:38:02,074 --> 00:38:04,478
There's a tragic story.
586
00:38:04,479 --> 00:38:07,283
A young journalist he befriended
killed herself up here.
587
00:38:07,456 --> 00:38:11,454
Jumped off the roof.
He saw it happen, couldn't stop her.
588
00:38:11,627 --> 00:38:14,166
That was before he was Prime Minister.
589
00:38:14,339 --> 00:38:17,791
- He still likes to go there?
- He's not like other people.
590
00:38:18,010 --> 00:38:20,632
Your connection with him is Cyprus?
591
00:38:20,805 --> 00:38:23,585
I'm trying to help my father
find out about his brothers
592
00:38:23,786 --> 00:38:25,966
who were killed there in '56.
593
00:38:26,145 --> 00:38:29,265
He'll help you.
He's very interested in Cyprus.
594
00:38:31,067 --> 00:38:34,069
Prime Minister! Here's Miss Passolides.
595
00:38:34,238 --> 00:38:37,275
- Thank you, Claire.
- Thank you.
596
00:38:37,492 --> 00:38:41,739
Miss Passolides!
I hope you didn't mind all those stairs.
597
00:38:41,914 --> 00:38:43,990
No, not at all.
598
00:38:44,166 --> 00:38:46,740
What an extraordinary place this is!
599
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,455
One likes to get away now and then,
get above it all.
600
00:38:50,674 --> 00:38:54,542
I like to imagine
that the air is a little purer up here.
601
00:38:55,638 --> 00:38:58,260
I was born in the Highlands of Scotland.
602
00:38:58,433 --> 00:39:00,788
One could stand on the rocks,
603
00:39:00,789 --> 00:39:03,143
see ten miles and not
another living soul!
604
00:39:03,898 --> 00:39:08,063
Sometimes I think I was a complete fool
to come into politics,
605
00:39:08,237 --> 00:39:10,563
but, well, here we are.
606
00:39:11,199 --> 00:39:14,010
I'm very grateful for this.
Very surprised too.
607
00:39:14,211 --> 00:39:16,621
I'm not one of your supporters.
608
00:39:16,831 --> 00:39:20,911
I guessed something of the kind
and it's completely immaterial.
609
00:39:21,127 --> 00:39:23,838
It's my privilege
and my pleasure to serve you,
610
00:39:24,039 --> 00:39:26,549
whether you voted for me or not.
611
00:39:26,717 --> 00:39:29,838
Whatever else you may have done
or not done,
612
00:39:30,013 --> 00:39:33,133
the Cyprus settlement was
a wonderful achievement.
613
00:39:33,309 --> 00:39:35,883
Thank you. It's very close to my heart.
614
00:39:36,813 --> 00:39:39,387
I love Cyprus, the island, the people.
615
00:39:40,734 --> 00:39:44,899
I didn't always meet them
in the happiest of circumstances.
616
00:39:45,073 --> 00:39:49,486
Some of my memories of that place
are rather painful to recall now.
617
00:39:50,538 --> 00:39:53,112
Did you go there on national service?
618
00:39:53,333 --> 00:39:57,746
No, I took a short service commission -
three years instead of two.
619
00:39:57,921 --> 00:40:01,042
I was only 19
when I first went out there.
620
00:40:01,259 --> 00:40:05,720
Very naive, idealistic, passionate
about Greek culture and language.
621
00:40:05,889 --> 00:40:09,389
- You speak Greek?
- It's a bit rusty now.
622
00:40:15,776 --> 00:40:19,312
- That's very good.
- One or two bits stick in the mind.
623
00:40:19,489 --> 00:40:22,093
Did you gather information
on EOKA resistance
624
00:40:22,294 --> 00:40:24,697
or did you capture them?
625
00:40:24,870 --> 00:40:27,991
No, nothing so dramatic,
I assure you, Maria.
626
00:40:28,166 --> 00:40:32,628
Someone who spoke Greek
would have been useful in interrogation.
627
00:40:32,797 --> 00:40:36,546
No, I was lucky enough
to miss all that kind of thing.
628
00:40:36,718 --> 00:40:39,838
Our problem...
I don't know if you can help...
629
00:40:40,014 --> 00:40:42,636
We're trying to locate
my uncles' graves.
630
00:40:42,809 --> 00:40:47,472
They were killed in a skirmish
in the Troodos Mountains above Spilia.
631
00:40:47,648 --> 00:40:50,733
- I see.
- We went to the Public Records Office.
632
00:40:50,943 --> 00:40:55,108
We found a copy
of the official report on the incident,
633
00:40:55,282 --> 00:40:58,817
but the name of the officer in charge
was blanked out.
634
00:40:58,995 --> 00:41:00,738
Yes, I see.
635
00:41:00,914 --> 00:41:04,746
The clerk said it's likely
there is a more detailed account,
636
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,793
perhaps on a secret file
at the Ministry of Defence.
637
00:41:09,007 --> 00:41:11,498
We don't want to stir up trouble.
638
00:41:11,677 --> 00:41:14,797
I just want to set
my father's mind at rest.
639
00:41:14,972 --> 00:41:16,864
I understand.
640
00:41:16,865 --> 00:41:18,757
So much unfinished
business from that time.
641
00:41:18,977 --> 00:41:22,311
And later in 1974
when the Turks invaded.
642
00:41:23,316 --> 00:41:26,732
- That's when I lost my mother.
- So much blood.
643
00:41:27,362 --> 00:41:29,901
So much sorrow.
644
00:41:31,909 --> 00:41:36,157
- Will you let me see what I can do?
- Yes. You're very kind.
645
00:41:36,373 --> 00:41:39,743
It's the least I can do.
I wish it could be more.
646
00:41:39,961 --> 00:41:42,534
Yes, I believe you. Thank you.
647
00:41:49,597 --> 00:41:52,967
I've just had a telephone call
from Mr Nures.
648
00:41:53,143 --> 00:41:58,020
The judges have decided
on the sea boundaries. They split 50/50.
649
00:41:58,232 --> 00:42:02,646
And Sir Clive has given his casting vote
to the Turkish side.
650
00:42:02,863 --> 00:42:06,197
Excellent.
Thanks in no small measure to you.
651
00:42:06,367 --> 00:42:09,155
- To the future.
- To the Urquhart Trust.
652
00:42:09,329 --> 00:42:12,449
- To our personal pension plan.
- Happy days.
653
00:42:18,590 --> 00:42:21,711
Sorry. Frightfully sorry,
Prime Minister.
654
00:42:21,886 --> 00:42:24,460
Was that a political point, Polecutt?
655
00:42:24,639 --> 00:42:28,507
Good God, no.
A spasm of cramp, Prime Minister. Sorry.
656
00:42:28,686 --> 00:42:30,762
Spasm of cramp.
657
00:42:36,570 --> 00:42:40,070
Order! Questions to the Prime Minister.
658
00:42:40,283 --> 00:42:42,691
Mr Hugh Pugh.
659
00:42:44,121 --> 00:42:48,166
Does the Prime Minister
have any thoughts to share with us
660
00:42:48,334 --> 00:42:51,834
on the eve of
another crucial European summit,
661
00:42:52,005 --> 00:42:55,126
particularly about
when he'll do something practical
662
00:42:55,301 --> 00:42:57,875
to make Europe work efficiently?
663
00:42:58,847 --> 00:43:03,640
For example, if he believes
in a single market as he says he does,
664
00:43:03,853 --> 00:43:07,436
why does he turn his back
on a single currency?
665
00:43:07,649 --> 00:43:11,268
When is he going to put his money
where his mouth is?
666
00:43:14,157 --> 00:43:16,753
The Honourable Gentleman
makes an excellent point
667
00:43:16,954 --> 00:43:18,950
and I agree with him.
668
00:43:19,121 --> 00:43:22,242
We all want an effective
single market in Europe.
669
00:43:22,417 --> 00:43:24,956
I'm not sure that
destroying the image
670
00:43:25,057 --> 00:43:27,495
of our young king on
the coin of the realm,
671
00:43:27,673 --> 00:43:30,136
with all the disrespect
to the monarchy
672
00:43:30,337 --> 00:43:32,799
that implies,
will bring Utopia any closer,
673
00:43:32,971 --> 00:43:37,385
but the Honourable Gentleman believes it
and who am I to argue him
674
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,134
into common sense and sanity?
675
00:43:40,355 --> 00:43:42,929
Let me say this to him, however.
676
00:43:43,108 --> 00:43:46,893
It is my conviction
that we can do most good for Europe
677
00:43:47,071 --> 00:43:49,645
by being resolutely British,
678
00:43:49,825 --> 00:43:54,903
by showing Europe the way to go,
rather than trotting at Europe's heels.
679
00:43:55,123 --> 00:43:58,642
Europe has a great deal more to
learn from the cradle of democracy
680
00:43:58,843 --> 00:44:01,162
than it has to teach us,
681
00:44:01,380 --> 00:44:04,999
and if the Honourable Gentleman
doesn't believe that,
682
00:44:05,176 --> 00:44:08,014
perhaps he should be rustling
sheep in the border country
683
00:44:08,215 --> 00:44:10,053
like his ancestors.
684
00:44:10,266 --> 00:44:12,971
Order! Order! Order!
685
00:44:14,479 --> 00:44:16,556
Prime Minister.
686
00:44:16,732 --> 00:44:20,398
If we want to build
a really efficient single market,
687
00:44:20,570 --> 00:44:25,565
here is a proposal I intend to suggest
to my fellow leaders at the summit.
688
00:44:25,784 --> 00:44:28,821
A single language for Europe.
689
00:44:29,539 --> 00:44:33,537
The waste of money
in dealing in a multitude of languages
690
00:44:33,752 --> 00:44:38,082
must run into billions,
measured in whatever currency you will,
691
00:44:38,299 --> 00:44:41,716
waste, confusion, misunderstanding.
692
00:44:41,929 --> 00:44:46,307
Clearly we need to be able
to speak with one voice.
693
00:44:47,435 --> 00:44:51,101
I suppose it's just
one of those accidents of history
694
00:44:51,273 --> 00:44:54,394
that the only possible language
is English.
695
00:44:56,029 --> 00:44:58,402
Order! Order!
696
00:45:16,470 --> 00:45:19,591
- How was I?
- I've never seen anything like it.
697
00:45:19,766 --> 00:45:22,637
You were completely bloody impossible!
698
00:45:22,811 --> 00:45:27,059
Thank you. It pays to be
completely impossible from time to time.
699
00:45:27,275 --> 00:45:31,653
Put a bit of stick about,
show them what's what, just for badness!
700
00:45:31,822 --> 00:45:36,319
- So you don't want a single language?
- It wouldn't be a bad idea.
701
00:45:36,536 --> 00:45:39,110
But it was just a bit of mischief.
702
00:45:39,289 --> 00:45:42,659
It'll hold up that single currency
nonsense for a while
703
00:45:42,835 --> 00:45:47,545
and be worth a few per cent in the polls
and it'll make some people angry.
704
00:45:47,716 --> 00:45:50,089
Not bad for five minutes' work!
705
00:45:50,302 --> 00:45:52,592
All right, let's be serious.
706
00:45:52,764 --> 00:45:56,264
I'd like to run a few thoughts past you
on the reshuffle.
707
00:45:56,476 --> 00:45:58,558
Who wins, who loses,
708
00:45:58,559 --> 00:46:00,641
how we stick it to them,
placing the leaks.
709
00:46:00,815 --> 00:46:03,271
Liaise with Geoffrey.
710
00:46:06,363 --> 00:46:08,937
Hello, Tom. How's tricks?
711
00:46:14,373 --> 00:46:16,704
Francis, I'd like a few words
in private.
712
00:46:16,905 --> 00:46:18,835
That won't be necessary, Tom.
713
00:46:19,004 --> 00:46:22,124
My PPS is very discreet,
as I'm sure you know.
714
00:46:24,510 --> 00:46:28,591
- Look, I think it would be better if...
- Stay where you are, Claire.
715
00:46:28,807 --> 00:46:30,966
You have a job to do.
716
00:46:31,143 --> 00:46:34,762
Sorry about that, Tom.
What was it you wanted exactly?
717
00:46:34,939 --> 00:46:37,513
What the hell were you playing at?
718
00:46:37,693 --> 00:46:40,114
For the sake of a few cheap cracks,
719
00:46:40,115 --> 00:46:42,735
you put everything
we've done in jeopardy!
720
00:46:42,907 --> 00:46:46,526
What will our European partners think
of that performance?
721
00:46:46,703 --> 00:46:49,277
You make it impossible for me
to do my job.
722
00:46:49,498 --> 00:46:52,012
I build up relationships of trust
over years patiently
723
00:46:52,213 --> 00:46:54,327
with serious professionals,
724
00:46:54,504 --> 00:46:57,921
international statesmen,
and you throw it away! What for?
725
00:46:58,134 --> 00:47:00,708
To get on the front page of the "Sun"?
726
00:47:00,887 --> 00:47:03,118
Don't take it so seriously.
727
00:47:03,119 --> 00:47:05,349
And it's not all
Queensberry Rules in Europe.
728
00:47:05,559 --> 00:47:09,095
Occasionally, one needs a bit of pepper
on the gloves.
729
00:47:09,272 --> 00:47:11,349
That's not good enough.
730
00:47:11,525 --> 00:47:13,607
You can't screw around
with foreign policy
731
00:47:13,808 --> 00:47:15,689
without consulting me!
732
00:47:15,863 --> 00:47:19,363
It seems I can,
but in future the problem won't arise.
733
00:47:19,576 --> 00:47:22,494
I have come to a momentous decision
734
00:47:22,705 --> 00:47:25,790
and I'm glad you're the first
to hear the news.
735
00:47:25,959 --> 00:47:28,533
- You're resigning?
- No, Tom, you are.
736
00:47:28,754 --> 00:47:31,328
As Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs.
737
00:47:31,507 --> 00:47:34,628
I want to keep your talent
in the government,
738
00:47:34,803 --> 00:47:38,884
but you're a bit too influenced
by your continental chums
739
00:47:39,100 --> 00:47:42,018
with their baccalaureates
and their Mercedes.
740
00:47:42,228 --> 00:47:45,432
I thought you might like
to take a stab at Education.
741
00:47:45,607 --> 00:47:50,021
Some might see that as a step down,
but it's right up your street.
742
00:47:50,238 --> 00:47:54,568
You could have long chats
with teachers about the meaning of life
743
00:47:54,743 --> 00:47:57,282
and Plato's "Republic" and all that.
744
00:47:57,497 --> 00:48:00,617
I should imagine
you would enjoy that, Tom.
745
00:48:01,376 --> 00:48:03,453
You bastard!
746
00:48:03,629 --> 00:48:05,955
Education doesn't appeal, then?
747
00:48:06,174 --> 00:48:09,923
- Did you think I'd accept?
- No, but it was worth a try.
748
00:48:10,095 --> 00:48:12,669
- It's that or nothing.
- I choose nothing.
749
00:48:12,890 --> 00:48:15,346
Up to you.
750
00:48:16,728 --> 00:48:18,306
Tom...
751
00:48:18,522 --> 00:48:21,310
You will put it in writing, won't you?
752
00:48:22,610 --> 00:48:27,154
- You'll regret this, Francis.
- Well, now, I wonder if I shall.
753
00:48:53,856 --> 00:48:56,976
- Sorry.
- No good in knocking the press about.
754
00:48:57,152 --> 00:49:00,463
It wasn't our fault this time.
What did you think of his performance?
755
00:49:00,664 --> 00:49:02,574
Unnecessary?
756
00:49:02,742 --> 00:49:06,028
Don't fancy a comment, do you,
on or off the record?
757
00:49:06,204 --> 00:49:10,250
Yes, I thought it was outrageous.
The last straw, in fact.
758
00:49:10,417 --> 00:49:12,991
I've just given him my resignation.
759
00:49:13,171 --> 00:49:15,662
Good one, Tom. One day, eh?
760
00:49:15,841 --> 00:49:19,460
- You're not serious?
- Dicky, get your chaps together.
761
00:49:19,637 --> 00:49:24,181
Meet me in the lobby room in 15 minutes.
I'll be making a statement.
762
00:49:24,351 --> 00:49:26,973
- Right.
- Tell them it'll be well worth it.
763
00:49:28,189 --> 00:49:29,564
Right!
764
00:49:40,912 --> 00:49:44,662
Thank you all for coming along
at such short notice.
765
00:49:51,884 --> 00:49:56,345
This afternoon I resigned
as Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary
766
00:49:56,514 --> 00:49:59,635
and the Prime Minister
accepted my resignation.
767
00:49:59,810 --> 00:50:03,429
I shall make a full statement
to the House next week,
768
00:50:03,606 --> 00:50:06,020
but the reason for my resignation
769
00:50:06,021 --> 00:50:08,435
is that "areas of
disagreement on policy,
770
00:50:08,612 --> 00:50:11,175
"in particular in Europe,
771
00:50:11,176 --> 00:50:13,738
have made it very difficult
for this government
772
00:50:13,952 --> 00:50:18,247
"to maintain a consistent position
vis-�-vis our neighbours
773
00:50:18,416 --> 00:50:22,913
"and have made it impossible for me
to do my job as Foreign Secretary,
774
00:50:23,088 --> 00:50:27,336
"a job I've always aspired to and which
I relinquish with bitter regret."
775
00:50:27,552 --> 00:50:29,212
That's all.
776
00:50:29,387 --> 00:50:33,006
And you're not moving
to another government post?
777
00:50:33,183 --> 00:50:36,802
- That's right, I'm not.
- Were you offered another post?
778
00:50:36,980 --> 00:50:39,056
- Yes.
- Which one?
779
00:50:39,232 --> 00:50:42,851
- No comment.
- You sound bitter and angry, Tom.
780
00:50:43,028 --> 00:50:45,520
Would that be fair comment?
Are you angry?
781
00:50:45,698 --> 00:50:47,988
Yes, I'm extremely...
782
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,734
bitterly disappointed.
783
00:50:50,955 --> 00:50:53,957
OK, I'm angry that I've been
forced to resign
784
00:50:54,158 --> 00:50:56,959
from a job I've loved doing.
785
00:50:57,170 --> 00:51:00,670
- So what are your plans now?
- Go home and relax.
786
00:51:00,842 --> 00:51:04,887
Enjoy my first weekend in ten years
with no red boxesI
787
00:51:05,097 --> 00:51:09,641
But in the longer term, well,
I shall make a full statement next week.
788
00:51:09,852 --> 00:51:12,656
Tom, it's known that your
major areas of disagreement
789
00:51:12,857 --> 00:51:15,061
are with the Prime Minister.
790
00:51:15,234 --> 00:51:18,769
You said some of his speeches
have been irresponsible
791
00:51:18,988 --> 00:51:22,109
and embarrassing
to our European neighbours.
792
00:51:22,284 --> 00:51:26,781
Would you say it's time
for Francis Urquhart to step down now?
793
00:51:26,956 --> 00:51:29,495
That's really not for me to say.
794
00:51:29,668 --> 00:51:32,206
Come on, Tom. Should he go?
795
00:51:33,506 --> 00:51:37,551
Well, in his own words,
you might very well think that.
796
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,136
- I could not possibly comment.
- You bastard!
797
00:51:41,348 --> 00:51:45,561
Thomas Makepeace commenting
on his shock resignation today
798
00:51:45,770 --> 00:51:47,977
from the post of Foreign Secretary.
799
00:51:48,148 --> 00:51:52,313
Bastard! He'll be dangling in the wind
before I've done with him!
800
00:51:52,487 --> 00:51:56,153
- I did warn you.
- What can he do? He's not a fighter.
801
00:51:56,325 --> 00:51:59,860
He's soft in the middle.
He's a sentimental dreamer.
802
00:52:00,038 --> 00:52:02,611
I can take him any time I like.
803
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:07,000
Of course you can, my dear.
Of course you can.
