1
00:01:12,460 --> 00:01:14,702
Tell me it isn't true.
2
00:01:16,672 --> 00:01:18,914
Tell me it isn't true.
3
00:01:19,925 --> 00:01:22,250
I love you, Daddy.
4
00:01:22,427 --> 00:01:24,135
DaddyI
5
00:01:43,654 --> 00:01:45,112
Aaaagh!
6
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,822
Francis!
7
00:01:48,908 --> 00:01:50,984
What is it?
8
00:01:59,459 --> 00:02:02,294
I...I had a bad dream.
9
00:02:05,506 --> 00:02:07,831
I didn't call out, did I?
10
00:02:08,008 --> 00:02:11,128
It sounded as if you were
in fear of your life.
11
00:02:13,221 --> 00:02:16,008
It's all right, Corder.
It was just a dream.
12
00:02:16,766 --> 00:02:18,842
Just a dream?
13
00:02:20,436 --> 00:02:22,512
All right. Fine.
14
00:02:24,231 --> 00:02:26,519
I'll leave you to it, then.
15
00:02:28,985 --> 00:02:31,606
A lot of fuss about nothing!
16
00:02:31,779 --> 00:02:34,104
Time to get started, anyway.
17
00:02:35,491 --> 00:02:39,737
Francis, why don't you stay down here
at Chequers for the morning?
18
00:02:39,911 --> 00:02:42,532
Why? Far more interesting things to do.
19
00:02:42,705 --> 00:02:45,278
Complete my reshuffle, for a start.
20
00:02:45,958 --> 00:02:49,742
I'm making Geoffrey Booza Pitt
my Foreign Secretary.
21
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:53,419
- Little Geoffrey? Is that wise?
- Yes. Why not?
22
00:02:53,590 --> 00:02:56,709
Capstick's too dithery,
Bullock's too dense.
23
00:02:56,884 --> 00:03:00,419
Rayner would like it,
but he's too much of a thug.
24
00:03:00,596 --> 00:03:02,867
He might as well have
"I hate foreigners"
25
00:03:03,068 --> 00:03:05,138
tattooed on his forehead.
26
00:03:05,308 --> 00:03:10,183
Geoffrey has brains and Geoffrey
will do what I tell him. He's one of us.
27
00:03:13,274 --> 00:03:16,559
And best of all,
it's humiliating for Makepeace -
28
00:03:16,777 --> 00:03:20,904
deposed from high office,
the ritual clearing of the desk.
29
00:03:21,072 --> 00:03:26,492
Too many knick-knacks for the briefcase,
so a typist lends a Tesco's carrier bag.
30
00:03:26,660 --> 00:03:30,989
In go the family photos.
The underlings avert their gaze.
31
00:03:31,164 --> 00:03:33,536
A couple of awkward handshakes,
32
00:03:33,708 --> 00:03:37,041
then the ignominious exit
by the tradesman's gate.
33
00:03:38,295 --> 00:03:40,757
And in the morning,
34
00:03:40,758 --> 00:03:43,420
waking to the knowledge
that it's true, all true.
35
00:03:44,134 --> 00:03:47,585
No more red boxes, no more urgent calls.
36
00:03:47,762 --> 00:03:51,427
No one wants your opinion
about anything any more.
37
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:55,512
No interviews, no photographs,
no ministerial car.
38
00:03:56,436 --> 00:03:59,686
I could find it in my heart
to pity the man
39
00:04:00,356 --> 00:04:05,018
if he weren't such a canting,
high-minded, sanctimonious hypocrite.
40
00:04:05,194 --> 00:04:07,767
He deserves everything he gets.
41
00:04:12,784 --> 00:04:16,698
Where did you say you were going
so early in the morning?
42
00:04:16,871 --> 00:04:18,530
Don't stop.
43
00:04:18,706 --> 00:04:21,196
I said I was going to the gym.
44
00:04:21,375 --> 00:04:23,663
Fair enough, I suppose.
45
00:04:23,835 --> 00:04:26,456
Come on, then. Work that body!
46
00:04:27,630 --> 00:04:30,833
- What?
- Don't be flippant, Claire. Please.
47
00:04:32,301 --> 00:04:34,874
You're very sensitive this morning.
48
00:04:36,012 --> 00:04:38,384
I still love you, you know.
49
00:04:38,556 --> 00:04:42,304
Even though you're not
Foreign Secretary any more,
50
00:04:42,476 --> 00:04:46,059
you still give a girl
a hell of a good time in bed.
51
00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:49,681
Oh, Tom, there's no need
to look quite so tragic.
52
00:04:51,276 --> 00:04:52,651
Tom?
53
00:04:52,819 --> 00:04:54,194
Tom!
54
00:04:55,571 --> 00:04:57,647
This is silly.
55
00:04:57,823 --> 00:05:00,942
I know. It's not your fault,
it's my fault.
56
00:05:01,743 --> 00:05:06,950
The thing is...
I've decided we've got to stop.
57
00:05:45,198 --> 00:05:46,775
It's him.
58
00:05:46,949 --> 00:05:49,522
- Francis?
- Yes, Francis.
59
00:05:50,411 --> 00:05:52,866
You're not jealous of him?
60
00:05:53,038 --> 00:05:55,611
I don't do anything with Francis.
61
00:05:55,790 --> 00:05:57,866
You're his PPS!
62
00:05:58,042 --> 00:06:00,877
Oh, Tom, we've been through all this.
63
00:06:01,086 --> 00:06:03,708
I've told you.
It's not a problem for me.
64
00:06:03,881 --> 00:06:07,545
I'm all for you.
Being his PPS is just a means to an end.
65
00:06:07,717 --> 00:06:10,290
I told you I'd take his job!
66
00:06:10,511 --> 00:06:13,132
I know. I can help you do that.
67
00:06:13,305 --> 00:06:16,508
- I can't work like that.
- Oh, brilliant
68
00:06:16,725 --> 00:06:20,674
If I fight Francis Urquhart,
it has to be a straight fight.
69
00:06:20,854 --> 00:06:23,427
I have to be seen to be straight.
70
00:06:23,606 --> 00:06:26,227
- Family values?
- Yes, if you like.
71
00:06:28,277 --> 00:06:30,898
So you're chucking me, are you?
72
00:06:31,071 --> 00:06:34,274
- Believe me...
- But you wanted one for the road!
73
00:06:35,992 --> 00:06:38,068
Claire, please...
74
00:06:39,286 --> 00:06:41,362
I think...
75
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,408
This is the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.
76
00:06:46,584 --> 00:06:49,206
I've never known anything like...
77
00:06:50,421 --> 00:06:52,497
..what we've had.
78
00:06:53,465 --> 00:06:55,790
I've hurt you, haven't I?
79
00:06:55,968 --> 00:06:59,467
It should have been me
who said when it was over.
80
00:07:05,309 --> 00:07:07,183
Sorry.
81
00:07:07,353 --> 00:07:09,428
Better now.
82
00:07:09,605 --> 00:07:12,226
You're absolutely right, of course.
83
00:07:12,899 --> 00:07:16,268
There isn't a perfect way
to do these things.
84
00:07:16,444 --> 00:07:20,488
I do understand you'll have to
distance yourself for a while.
85
00:07:20,656 --> 00:07:22,814
Politically as well.
86
00:07:24,701 --> 00:07:29,612
But I want you to know I'm still here
for you...when you need me.
87
00:07:30,623 --> 00:07:32,699
In every way.
88
00:07:34,001 --> 00:07:36,491
You're a wonderful woman.
89
00:07:36,670 --> 00:07:38,247
I know.
90
00:07:39,255 --> 00:07:41,544
What a waste, eh?
91
00:07:45,052 --> 00:07:49,001
All set, Francis?
It won't be just a farewell performance.
92
00:07:49,181 --> 00:07:51,671
I never imagined it would be.
93
00:07:51,850 --> 00:07:54,204
These resignation statements
94
00:07:54,205 --> 00:07:56,558
so often turn into
squalid recriminations.
95
00:07:56,729 --> 00:08:00,062
So bad for the reputation of politics,
don't you feel?
96
00:08:00,232 --> 00:08:04,181
I think you should take it seriously.
He's out to get you.
97
00:08:04,361 --> 00:08:06,982
Well, let's see what he can do,
shall we?
98
00:08:08,948 --> 00:08:11,521
I am proud to have served this country
99
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:15,863
as Secretary of State
for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs.
100
00:08:16,037 --> 00:08:18,610
And I'm proud of what I've achieved,
101
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:22,040
most recently
the historic Cyprus settlement.
102
00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:27,252
But Cyprus has been one achievement
amongst many lost opportunities.
103
00:08:27,464 --> 00:08:30,102
I can no longer refrain
from speaking out against
104
00:08:30,303 --> 00:08:32,540
an attitude to foreign policy
105
00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:35,322
which has made civilised
nations of the world
106
00:08:35,523 --> 00:08:37,925
see Britain as the yob of Europe.
107
00:08:38,098 --> 00:08:41,846
And I can no longer support
a British prime minister
108
00:08:42,018 --> 00:08:46,810
whose idea of diplomacy is to demand
that everyone else speaks English.
109
00:08:46,981 --> 00:08:50,100
Is this not the politics
of the football hooligan?
110
00:08:50,276 --> 00:08:54,818
Surely Britain has more to offer Europe
than a two-fingered salute.
111
00:08:54,988 --> 00:08:59,780
Yes, of course it has, but not,
I fear, under its present leadership.
112
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,572
This became very clear to me
when I read who my successor was to be.
113
00:09:06,248 --> 00:09:08,802
In future, Britain's
interests are to be defended
114
00:09:09,003 --> 00:09:10,956
in the international arena
115
00:09:11,127 --> 00:09:13,203
by a kind of...
116
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:15,955
How shall I put this?
117
00:09:16,131 --> 00:09:18,456
A kind of glove puppet.
118
00:09:20,469 --> 00:09:23,006
A cuddly creature who'll
use his master's voice
119
00:09:23,207 --> 00:09:25,344
because he has none of his own!
120
00:09:25,515 --> 00:09:27,803
- Order!
- Sooty!
121
00:09:27,975 --> 00:09:29,517
It's Sooty!
122
00:09:29,685 --> 00:09:32,010
Let's hear it from Sooty!
123
00:09:32,187 --> 00:09:35,022
Order! Order!
124
00:09:35,231 --> 00:09:36,690
Order!
125
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:42,607
Let me remind the House that personal
statements are listened to in silence.
126
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,771
Thank you. Mr Tom Makepeace.
127
00:09:45,949 --> 00:09:48,025
Madam Speaker.
128
00:09:48,701 --> 00:09:52,864
It has become clear to me,
as it has to many in this House
129
00:09:53,039 --> 00:09:56,870
and throughout the country,
that all is not well in Britain.
130
00:09:57,084 --> 00:09:59,657
I became a Member of Parliament
131
00:09:59,836 --> 00:10:02,290
because I wanted to
uphold those traditions
132
00:10:02,491 --> 00:10:04,544
which made England great.
133
00:10:04,715 --> 00:10:07,253
I wanted to serve my country,
134
00:10:07,254 --> 00:10:09,792
not lay waste to it in the
name of asset-stripping.
135
00:10:09,970 --> 00:10:12,756
I'm sure that only
a change of leadership
136
00:10:12,957 --> 00:10:15,343
will put us back on the right track.
137
00:10:15,558 --> 00:10:18,428
- Join the opposition!
- Hear, hear!
138
00:10:18,644 --> 00:10:20,055
Order!
139
00:10:20,229 --> 00:10:23,598
A number of my colleagues
have approached me
140
00:10:23,774 --> 00:10:28,435
and asked if I would offer myself
as a candidate for party leadership.
141
00:10:28,611 --> 00:10:32,146
I have decided that
I must accept the challenge.
142
00:10:32,323 --> 00:10:36,272
Until that matter is resolved,
I find myself so much at odds
143
00:10:36,451 --> 00:10:40,496
with what is being done
in the name of my party and my country
144
00:10:40,663 --> 00:10:45,491
that I can no longer in conscience
take my seat on the government benches.
145
00:10:49,671 --> 00:10:51,747
Excuse me.
146
00:11:10,564 --> 00:11:12,640
Prime Minister!
147
00:11:15,777 --> 00:11:20,486
I'm grateful for this opportunity
to thank the Right Honourable Gentleman
148
00:11:20,657 --> 00:11:23,230
for his loyal service over the years.
149
00:11:23,409 --> 00:11:25,490
On these occasions,
150
00:11:25,491 --> 00:11:27,572
a certain amount of
petulance is expected...
151
00:11:28,872 --> 00:11:33,000
..and forgiven, and indeed forgotten.
152
00:11:34,377 --> 00:11:37,496
May I assure
the Right Honourable Gentleman
153
00:11:37,671 --> 00:11:41,289
that he has my very best wishes
for his future career,
154
00:11:42,342 --> 00:11:44,797
whatever that may be?
155
00:11:47,805 --> 00:11:50,378
Just right, FU.
Made him look very silly.
156
00:12:01,692 --> 00:12:05,310
All the same, FU,
you need to take this very seriously.
157
00:12:05,487 --> 00:12:08,488
- Yes. Thank you, Geoffrey. Later.
- Yes.
158
00:12:09,157 --> 00:12:11,695
Come on in, Claire.
159
00:12:16,247 --> 00:12:19,496
Well, now,
and what are we to make of that?
160
00:12:20,459 --> 00:12:22,534
I did warn you.
161
00:12:22,711 --> 00:12:25,332
I didn't know he'd cross the House!
162
00:12:25,505 --> 00:12:27,995
A piece of histrionic buffoonery!
163
00:12:28,174 --> 00:12:30,711
It won't be reported that way.
164
00:12:30,884 --> 00:12:33,506
It won't be the last
we've heard of Sooty!
165
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,545
You should have savaged him
and humiliated him publicly!
166
00:12:37,765 --> 00:12:40,885
I didn't want to dignify him
with my anger.
167
00:12:41,060 --> 00:12:43,633
You have a lot to learn, Claire.
168
00:12:43,812 --> 00:12:47,560
The worst humiliation
is not to be taken seriously.
169
00:12:47,732 --> 00:12:52,394
One doesn't froth at the mouth
when dismissing the jobbing gardener.
170
00:12:52,570 --> 00:12:55,405
Yes, but people read it as weakness.
171
00:12:55,614 --> 00:12:59,528
- You didn't, did you?
- Of course not, but I think he did.
172
00:12:59,701 --> 00:13:02,339
Didn't you see his face?
You let him think he'd won.
173
00:13:02,540 --> 00:13:04,778
That makes me furious!
174
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:10,666
As well as being
tactically risky in my view.
175
00:13:11,378 --> 00:13:14,497
Other people might have read it
as weakness
176
00:13:14,673 --> 00:13:18,088
and Tom Makepeace
has more support than you think!
177
00:13:18,801 --> 00:13:20,877
But not from you?
178
00:13:21,053 --> 00:13:23,129
Not any more.
179
00:13:23,305 --> 00:13:25,796
He's chucked you, hasn't he?
180
00:13:29,060 --> 00:13:31,681
Other way round, as a matter of fact.
181
00:13:32,855 --> 00:13:34,931
What a shame!
182
00:13:35,649 --> 00:13:38,260
Well, I'll hurt him for you, Claire,
183
00:13:38,261 --> 00:13:41,272
before this game is over,
and that's a promise.
184
00:13:43,031 --> 00:13:44,573
Thank you.
185
00:14:03,215 --> 00:14:05,291
- Hi!
- Hello!
186
00:14:06,468 --> 00:14:09,587
Saw you on the news.
Very good, I thought.
187
00:14:09,762 --> 00:14:13,427
- Thank you.
- You're really going for it this time.
188
00:14:13,599 --> 00:14:16,718
He's left me no option.
No, it's more than that.
189
00:14:16,894 --> 00:14:20,227
I really want it now
and I know I'm ready for it.
190
00:14:20,397 --> 00:14:24,346
Good for you. I hope you wipe the floor
with the old bastard.
191
00:14:24,525 --> 00:14:27,645
I think you'll make
a brilliant prime minister.
192
00:14:29,988 --> 00:14:32,989
- Really?
- Yes. Really.
193
00:14:41,373 --> 00:14:44,493
I thought we might go out
for dinner tonight.
194
00:14:44,668 --> 00:14:48,083
Lovely, except I've got a dinner date.
Sorry.
195
00:14:48,254 --> 00:14:50,745
John Collins, my new editor.
196
00:14:50,923 --> 00:14:53,378
- Oh, fine.
- He's only 35.
197
00:14:54,093 --> 00:14:56,666
He thinks my work is wonderful.
198
00:14:56,845 --> 00:14:59,466
Well, I think your work's wonderful.
199
00:15:02,266 --> 00:15:04,342
What is it, Tom?
200
00:15:04,518 --> 00:15:06,060
Nothing.
201
00:15:06,729 --> 00:15:09,302
Just wanted to talk. You know...
202
00:15:10,107 --> 00:15:12,680
What did you want to talk about?
203
00:15:13,359 --> 00:15:16,111
Well, you know... Everything, really.
204
00:15:16,779 --> 00:15:21,440
Going for the leadership,
you and me, where we're headed.
205
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,984
I think it would be good
to get things straightened out.
206
00:15:28,206 --> 00:15:30,281
Well, you know.
207
00:15:31,083 --> 00:15:34,748
You've broken up with Claire Carlsen,
haven't you?
208
00:15:37,881 --> 00:15:40,454
Well, yes, I have, as a matter of fact.
209
00:15:40,633 --> 00:15:42,709
Was it rough?
210
00:15:44,762 --> 00:15:46,920
It wasn't easy.
211
00:15:49,599 --> 00:15:52,096
What I feel now is a strong
sense of relief
212
00:15:52,297 --> 00:15:54,593
that I've done the right thing.
213
00:15:54,770 --> 00:15:56,846
Oh. Jolly good.
214
00:15:57,565 --> 00:16:00,138
I only hope she feels the same.
215
00:16:01,193 --> 00:16:03,671
Tom, hasn't it occurred to you
216
00:16:03,672 --> 00:16:06,150
that you might have left
all this a bit too late?
217
00:16:09,158 --> 00:16:11,779
I'm sorry it's such disappointing news.
218
00:16:12,453 --> 00:16:16,450
Your uncles' death
involved certain security elements
219
00:16:16,623 --> 00:16:20,241
and the information
is subject to the 50 years' ban.
220
00:16:20,418 --> 00:16:22,582
The truth is known,
221
00:16:22,583 --> 00:16:24,747
but my father can't be
told and neither can I?
222
00:16:24,922 --> 00:16:27,294
I understand how you feel.
223
00:16:27,466 --> 00:16:31,878
I'm just the bearer of the message.
It's just one of those things.
224
00:16:32,053 --> 00:16:34,550
No, when I spoke to Mr Urquhart,
225
00:16:34,551 --> 00:16:37,047
he seemed very keen
to talk about Cyprus.
226
00:16:37,224 --> 00:16:38,766
Really?
227
00:16:38,976 --> 00:16:43,637
Then I mentioned the village, Spilia,
below the mountains of Troodos.
228
00:16:43,813 --> 00:16:47,395
I could tell he knew it,
but he didn't want to talk about it.
229
00:16:47,566 --> 00:16:50,140
I'm just doing this for my father.
230
00:16:50,319 --> 00:16:55,027
We just want to locate my uncles' graves
and give them a proper memorial.
231
00:16:55,198 --> 00:16:57,771
I don't understand what the mystery is.
232
00:16:57,951 --> 00:17:02,327
I'm sorry, but I'm not in a position
to give you more information.
233
00:17:02,496 --> 00:17:04,038
I see.
234
00:17:04,706 --> 00:17:06,995
Thanks for your time.
235
00:17:09,794 --> 00:17:11,870
Wait a minute.
236
00:17:14,048 --> 00:17:16,124
Try this number.
237
00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:18,376
Tom Makepeace.
238
00:17:23,014 --> 00:17:26,015
I think you'll find
you'll get some help.
239
00:17:27,476 --> 00:17:30,049
What's the line on Tom Makepeace?
240
00:17:30,229 --> 00:17:32,684
He's digging his own grave.
241
00:17:32,856 --> 00:17:35,353
Hm. We don't think so.
242
00:17:35,354 --> 00:17:37,850
We think he might be just
what the doctor ordered.
243
00:17:38,027 --> 00:17:41,277
We shall be saying so
in tomorrow's paper.
244
00:17:41,447 --> 00:17:44,780
This country is crying out for change.
245
00:17:45,575 --> 00:17:48,196
And I don't care who hears me say that.
246
00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:50,743
Oh, Lord!
247
00:17:50,913 --> 00:17:52,288
Ah!
248
00:17:53,165 --> 00:17:55,241
Claire, excellent.
249
00:17:55,417 --> 00:17:59,000
Miss Passolides, I am so sorry,
but rules are rules.
250
00:17:59,212 --> 00:18:01,785
We'll have another chat one day soon.
251
00:18:01,965 --> 00:18:05,333
I did enjoy meeting you so much.
Excuse me now.
252
00:18:10,889 --> 00:18:14,008
- I've got to go now. I'll be in touch.
- Thank you.
253
00:18:14,225 --> 00:18:17,345
Bruce! How very good to see you!
254
00:18:18,020 --> 00:18:21,934
I had a feeling
that this is where the action would be.
255
00:18:22,149 --> 00:18:25,434
- Prime Minister, you're looking well.
- So are you.
256
00:18:25,652 --> 00:18:29,186
Sir Bruce was just extolling the virtues
of Tom Makepeace.
257
00:18:30,531 --> 00:18:31,906
Well...
258
00:18:32,116 --> 00:18:35,484
Was he? Well, he's quite right,
a very talented chap,
259
00:18:35,661 --> 00:18:38,234
but so self-destructive - such a shame!
260
00:18:38,413 --> 00:18:42,541
They do say he falls in love
every time he passes a mirror.
261
00:18:42,750 --> 00:18:45,157
What do you think, Claire?
262
00:18:45,336 --> 00:18:49,499
I think the feeling on the back benches
is that he lacks substance.
263
00:18:49,673 --> 00:18:52,294
He doesn't really believe in himself.
264
00:18:52,509 --> 00:18:56,837
Well, if that's the woman's angle,
you have nothing to fear, FU.
265
00:18:57,013 --> 00:19:00,132
I must get on.
Been grand to see you, Bruce.
266
00:19:00,349 --> 00:19:04,216
We need more chaps of your calibre
in the Upper House.
267
00:19:05,603 --> 00:19:07,679
After the smiles,
268
00:19:07,855 --> 00:19:10,097
after the handshakes,
269
00:19:10,274 --> 00:19:14,603
after the arms round shoulders
and the merry, hollow laughter,
270
00:19:14,778 --> 00:19:17,269
after the conditional promise
271
00:19:17,447 --> 00:19:20,020
and the purchased friendship,
272
00:19:20,199 --> 00:19:22,820
after the elusive, dangling reward,
273
00:19:22,994 --> 00:19:25,069
the nagging threat.
274
00:19:25,746 --> 00:19:27,822
After all that,
275
00:19:27,998 --> 00:19:30,489
the calculation of the odds,
276
00:19:30,667 --> 00:19:33,240
the sifting of the probabilities.
277
00:19:33,419 --> 00:19:35,495
And then the fear.
278
00:19:38,215 --> 00:19:42,923
Fear in the smell of damp newsprint
and the crackle of the radio.
279
00:19:44,012 --> 00:19:46,965
Fear that this might be the day we wake
280
00:19:47,140 --> 00:19:50,057
to find the magic gone.
281
00:20:00,026 --> 00:20:04,604
"Tom Makepeace has brought
a fresh breeze of principle and idealism
282
00:20:04,780 --> 00:20:07,105
"into British politics.
283
00:20:07,282 --> 00:20:09,855
"There is a middle ground of decency
284
00:20:10,035 --> 00:20:12,389
"where people of goodwill
285
00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:14,743
from every class and
race can stand together,
286
00:20:14,914 --> 00:20:18,532
"and Tom Makepeace
has claimed that middle ground.
287
00:20:18,709 --> 00:20:21,378
"People of decency will wish him well."
288
00:20:21,545 --> 00:20:24,629
- That's Bruce Bullerby?
- I'm afraid so.
289
00:20:26,048 --> 00:20:28,504
Whatever happened to gratitude?
290
00:20:30,761 --> 00:20:33,364
You could walk away
and leave them to it,
291
00:20:33,565 --> 00:20:35,968
then they'd realise
what they owe you.
292
00:20:36,141 --> 00:20:40,090
- There is a world elsewhere.
- He's thrown down the gauntlet.
293
00:20:40,269 --> 00:20:42,789
If I take it up,
I have to win and I shall.
294
00:20:42,990 --> 00:20:45,310
And fight
and win another election.
295
00:20:46,024 --> 00:20:49,689
Then I'll have beaten
that bloody woman's record!
296
00:20:50,403 --> 00:20:53,522
You look pale, Francis.
Didn't you sleep well?
297
00:20:53,698 --> 00:20:57,149
I slept very well, thank you.
I am very well.
298
00:20:57,326 --> 00:20:59,402
Yes?
299
00:20:59,578 --> 00:21:02,151
- The car's here.
- Right.
300
00:21:05,958 --> 00:21:09,208
- Let me take that for you, sir.
- Thank you.
301
00:21:23,891 --> 00:21:25,468
Hi!
302
00:21:27,811 --> 00:21:29,353
Claire!
303
00:21:31,397 --> 00:21:33,473
Geoffrey. Hello.
304
00:21:33,649 --> 00:21:36,270
I say, this is a bit of all right,
isn't it?
305
00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:39,892
It's quiet. We won't be disturbed.
306
00:21:40,947 --> 00:21:44,944
We use it to put up executives
from Sweden and the States.
307
00:21:45,117 --> 00:21:47,738
It's only five minutes from the House.
308
00:21:47,911 --> 00:21:53,285
Just right if you fancied
a quick er...cuppa, put your feet up.
309
00:21:53,458 --> 00:21:56,031
Quite. It's good for work too.
310
00:21:56,210 --> 00:22:00,373
Right, shall we go through the names
in alphabetical order?
311
00:22:00,548 --> 00:22:03,121
Starting with the definites for FU.
312
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:06,715
Any way you like, Claire.
You know I'm easy.
313
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,071
- Hello.
- I'm Maria Passolides.
314
00:22:29,865 --> 00:22:33,814
- I phoned.
- Oh, yes. I'm sorry. Do come in.
315
00:22:38,164 --> 00:22:40,737
You answer the door yourself?
316
00:22:40,916 --> 00:22:43,537
Yes. What did you expect? A butler?
317
00:22:43,710 --> 00:22:47,458
I'm sorry, but I can only give you
about ten minutes.
318
00:22:47,630 --> 00:22:50,203
Things are hectic, as you can imagine.
319
00:22:50,383 --> 00:22:54,000
Yes, I can. It's good of you to see...
320
00:22:54,178 --> 00:22:57,712
If you have a message...
321
00:22:57,889 --> 00:23:01,838
But I'm all yours for ten minutes.
So how can I help you?
322
00:23:02,476 --> 00:23:06,723
I think Francis Urquhart
might have murdered my uncles.
323
00:23:07,523 --> 00:23:10,309
It's all right, really. I'm not mad.
324
00:23:10,483 --> 00:23:13,270
I might be mistaken,
but I'm not deluded.
325
00:23:17,323 --> 00:23:19,820
That looks safe enough.
326
00:23:19,821 --> 00:23:22,317
Somewhere between a 50-
and 60-vote majority.
327
00:23:22,494 --> 00:23:26,657
- If everybody told the truth.
- If everybody told the truth.
328
00:23:26,831 --> 00:23:29,452
It's not as wide a margin
as I'd thought.
329
00:23:30,334 --> 00:23:32,937
The thing is,
Francis has roughed up
330
00:23:32,938 --> 00:23:35,541
quite a lot of chaps
in the last ten years.
331
00:23:35,714 --> 00:23:39,581
Quite a lot of sore botties
on the government benches.
332
00:23:39,759 --> 00:23:43,377
It's not that they think
Makepeace is so wonderful.
333
00:23:43,554 --> 00:23:46,157
More that they want to say
"Yah, boo, sucks"
334
00:23:46,358 --> 00:23:48,761
to the boss! In a secret ballot.
335
00:23:49,517 --> 00:23:52,803
- You don't think he could lose?
- No, impossible.
336
00:24:01,695 --> 00:24:05,359
I'm not one
of Francis Urquhart's greatest admirers,
337
00:24:05,531 --> 00:24:08,104
but I can't quite see him as a murderer.
338
00:24:08,284 --> 00:24:12,862
I'm not saying you're fantasising,
but there may be another explanation.
339
00:24:13,580 --> 00:24:17,791
But you believe me
that he wants to conceal something?
340
00:24:17,959 --> 00:24:20,497
He's suppressing evidence
341
00:24:20,498 --> 00:24:23,035
and for what other reason
than it's damaging to him?
342
00:24:23,797 --> 00:24:26,370
I wish you'd come to see me sooner.
343
00:24:26,550 --> 00:24:28,821
As Foreign Secretary,
344
00:24:28,822 --> 00:24:31,092
I had access to any
documents I wanted to see.
345
00:24:32,305 --> 00:24:34,693
But I can raise this question
in the House.
346
00:24:34,894 --> 00:24:36,681
There's a broader issue.
347
00:24:36,892 --> 00:24:39,685
There must be people
who have lost relatives
348
00:24:39,886 --> 00:24:42,478
and still don't know the truth.
349
00:24:42,647 --> 00:24:46,265
- Yes, there are.
- We talk about open government.
350
00:24:46,442 --> 00:24:50,356
Has there been any public discussion
of this issue?
351
00:24:50,529 --> 00:24:55,190
A little in the Greek Cypriot papers,
and we hope to go on local radio.
352
00:24:56,242 --> 00:25:00,192
I think we should be
on national radio and TV. Why not?
353
00:25:00,371 --> 00:25:02,701
I'd like to help you.
354
00:25:02,702 --> 00:25:05,032
Let's get this whole thing out
in the open. Right?
355
00:25:05,208 --> 00:25:08,826
Right. Claire Carlsen said
she thought you'd be keen.
356
00:25:09,003 --> 00:25:13,001
Did she? Well, I'll have to try
not to disappoint you.
357
00:25:14,884 --> 00:25:16,959
Yes, indeed.
358
00:25:18,553 --> 00:25:20,842
No, it's not bad at all.
359
00:25:22,182 --> 00:25:23,724
Yes.
360
00:25:24,392 --> 00:25:26,598
Thank you, Claire.
361
00:25:29,980 --> 00:25:34,143
175 of my honourable colleagues
firmly intend to vote for me.
362
00:25:34,317 --> 00:25:37,022
123 are almost certainly against me.
363
00:25:37,195 --> 00:25:40,148
How dare they! They owe me everything.
364
00:25:40,322 --> 00:25:44,106
Half of them wouldn't even have jobs,
let alone seats.
365
00:25:44,284 --> 00:25:46,781
As if I hadn't won
three elections in a row
366
00:25:46,982 --> 00:25:49,278
and kept their noses
in the gravy!
367
00:25:49,497 --> 00:25:53,364
And these lumps of lobby fodder
dare to vote against me?
368
00:25:53,584 --> 00:25:55,991
Not enough of them to damage you.
369
00:25:56,211 --> 00:25:58,618
No, not yet.
370
00:25:59,673 --> 00:26:04,133
They'll break.
Makepeace will break if you stand firm.
371
00:26:05,594 --> 00:26:09,923
They want strong leadership,
the smack of firm government.
372
00:26:10,140 --> 00:26:13,888
And they resent that in themselves,
that weakness.
373
00:26:14,060 --> 00:26:16,390
They're big strong men.
374
00:26:16,391 --> 00:26:18,721
Why should they still
be frightened of Daddy?
375
00:26:18,898 --> 00:26:21,851
They are, Francis. They are!
376
00:26:22,025 --> 00:26:24,516
I know. Makepeace too.
377
00:26:25,236 --> 00:26:27,632
In his heart of hearts,
378
00:26:27,633 --> 00:26:30,028
he knows you're twice the
man he is or ever will be!
379
00:26:30,825 --> 00:26:33,398
He's frightened of Daddy too.
380
00:26:35,370 --> 00:26:38,287
I owe so much to you, my darling.
381
00:26:45,879 --> 00:26:48,714
Time to meet the baying hordes.
382
00:26:49,758 --> 00:26:52,877
Lofty indifference
of the world statesman?
383
00:26:53,052 --> 00:26:57,880
I think so. Let others play politics
while you make history.
384
00:27:04,604 --> 00:27:06,680
I am happy to announce
385
00:27:06,856 --> 00:27:09,345
that the last obstacle to
permanent peace in Cyprus
386
00:27:09,546 --> 00:27:11,434
has been cleared away.
387
00:27:11,652 --> 00:27:16,527
The disputed sea boundaries
have been agreed by a panel of judges,
388
00:27:16,698 --> 00:27:19,271
chaired by our own Sir Clive Watling.
389
00:27:19,951 --> 00:27:22,546
Next week, the Greek and
Turkish presidents of Cyprus
390
00:27:22,747 --> 00:27:24,742
will sign the treaty
391
00:27:24,955 --> 00:27:28,869
at a special European summit
here in Great Britain.
392
00:27:29,084 --> 00:27:32,168
We've done itI We are home and dryI
393
00:27:32,378 --> 00:27:35,794
What about the leadership challenge,
Mr Urquhart?
394
00:27:36,006 --> 00:27:40,169
Far more important things to think about
than petty politics.
395
00:27:40,344 --> 00:27:42,917
I've got a job to do
and I intend to do it.
396
00:27:43,096 --> 00:27:47,045
These are great days.
We are redrawing the map of Europe.
397
00:27:47,225 --> 00:27:51,518
And Britain is showing the wayI
Thank you all very much indeed.
398
00:27:55,523 --> 00:27:59,686
- He's such an old bastard.
- Clever old bastard, though!
399
00:27:59,861 --> 00:28:03,940
It's going to take something
very special to break him.
400
00:28:04,156 --> 00:28:06,611
I think I might just have it.
401
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,074
Do you?
402
00:28:09,244 --> 00:28:11,817
Such a grimy business,
politics, isn't it?
403
00:28:12,705 --> 00:28:15,825
That'll be John.
404
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,328
We're going to the Everyman.
Do you remember the "Gorky Trilogy"?
405
00:28:20,504 --> 00:28:23,670
- Yes, I do.
- Those were the days, eh?
406
00:28:24,882 --> 00:28:27,338
Don't wait up.
407
00:28:39,395 --> 00:28:43,558
The Greek and Turkish Cypriot
presidents shake hands at last
408
00:28:43,732 --> 00:28:46,852
at this special European summit meeting.
409
00:28:47,027 --> 00:28:49,600
Apart from the signing of the treaty,
410
00:28:49,779 --> 00:28:53,397
there's no formal agenda
to this exclusive gathering.
411
00:28:53,574 --> 00:28:57,867
It's an opportunity for some
of the key international players
412
00:28:58,036 --> 00:29:01,452
to share their thinking
on an informal basis.
413
00:29:01,623 --> 00:29:05,157
President Arteau of France
joking with Francis Urquhart.
414
00:29:05,376 --> 00:29:08,330
Not much sign of international tension.
415
00:29:09,046 --> 00:29:11,287
Tedious but necessary.
416
00:29:11,465 --> 00:29:15,628
In fact, Arteau and I dislike each other
and each other's politics,
417
00:29:15,802 --> 00:29:19,419
but we have to be there,
to be seen strutting about.
418
00:29:19,597 --> 00:29:22,170
All the world's a photo opportunity.
419
00:29:22,349 --> 00:29:25,469
There's Nicolaou,
the Greek Cypriot President.
420
00:29:25,644 --> 00:29:28,217
Nice chap, but out of his depth here.
421
00:29:28,396 --> 00:29:30,472
- Mr Nicolaou!
- Mr Urquhart!
422
00:29:30,648 --> 00:29:34,515
Very happy day. I'm very happy.
You must be very happy.
423
00:29:34,693 --> 00:29:37,403
I'm very happy
we have this agreement,
424
00:29:37,404 --> 00:29:40,114
but I think we gave away
a little bit too much.
425
00:29:40,281 --> 00:29:42,653
Some of my people aren't happy.
426
00:29:42,825 --> 00:29:45,398
The Turks are saying the same thing.
427
00:29:45,578 --> 00:29:49,741
I think you've both been understanding
of each other's views.
428
00:29:49,915 --> 00:29:53,959
Yes, but it's very important
that nothing should go wrong.
429
00:29:54,127 --> 00:29:58,788
I've had to overcome so much bad feeling
about the Turks, the British,
430
00:29:58,964 --> 00:30:03,875
about your bases, the way your soldiers
conduct themselves in our country.
431
00:30:04,553 --> 00:30:08,170
Some of my people feel very sore
about these things.
432
00:30:08,348 --> 00:30:12,925
I understand. We are very keen
to do all we can to defuse any tension.
433
00:30:13,102 --> 00:30:17,265
So why is a British-Turkish consortium
test-drilling for oil again?
434
00:30:17,439 --> 00:30:21,768
Are they? I understand
there's very little hope of finding any.
435
00:30:21,943 --> 00:30:24,671
But if they were to find oil now
436
00:30:24,672 --> 00:30:27,399
in the disputed area,
in the Watling waters,
437
00:30:27,573 --> 00:30:29,854
it would make the situation
very difficult
438
00:30:30,055 --> 00:30:31,736
for me especially.
439
00:30:31,910 --> 00:30:35,409
I'm quite sure
there's no cause for concern, but...
440
00:30:35,580 --> 00:30:38,117
Let's walk over here a moment.
441
00:30:39,291 --> 00:30:42,909
Some things are better said in private,
man to man.
442
00:30:46,130 --> 00:30:49,499
We're not about to let you down,
Mr Nicolaou.
443
00:30:49,675 --> 00:30:53,210
Britain is backing this agreement
up to the hilt,
444
00:30:53,387 --> 00:30:56,008
including military support if necessary.
445
00:30:56,681 --> 00:31:00,264
You have my personal word
of honour on that.
446
00:31:00,435 --> 00:31:03,554
Thank you, Mr Urquhart.
You're a good man.
447
00:31:04,230 --> 00:31:06,767
I'm a plain man, Mr Nicolaou.
448
00:31:06,940 --> 00:31:10,937
I like to think that I'm an honest man.
I keep my promises.
449
00:31:23,163 --> 00:31:26,662
Mrs Urquhart!
Vision of loveliness as usual.
450
00:31:27,291 --> 00:31:30,707
You know you're driving me crazy.
What can I say?
451
00:31:30,878 --> 00:31:36,084
Don't say anything else along that line.
I'm not sure we should be seen together.
452
00:31:36,257 --> 00:31:41,215
- You're worried about your reputation?
- You know what I'm worried about.
453
00:31:41,387 --> 00:31:43,336
I'm not sure
you should be here at all.
454
00:31:43,437 --> 00:31:44,886
Couldn't resist.
455
00:31:45,057 --> 00:31:49,517
These people don't know anything
about our business connection.
456
00:31:49,686 --> 00:31:52,341
They probably think
I'm just under your spell -
457
00:31:52,542 --> 00:31:54,596
bewitched and bewildered.
458
00:31:54,774 --> 00:31:57,099
And maybe they're right.
459
00:31:57,276 --> 00:31:59,565
Preliminary drillings
460
00:31:59,566 --> 00:32:01,854
confirm our earlier
hypothesis completely.
461
00:32:02,030 --> 00:32:04,360
There is a geological fault
462
00:32:04,361 --> 00:32:06,691
which has tilted the geology
of the sea bed.
463
00:32:07,368 --> 00:32:09,989
All the oil is concentrated in one area.
464
00:32:10,162 --> 00:32:13,661
A big puddle of it...
under Watling water.
465
00:32:14,541 --> 00:32:17,114
"Puddle" doesn't sound awfully big.
466
00:32:17,293 --> 00:32:19,866
We calculate at least a billion barrels.
467
00:32:20,046 --> 00:32:22,667
I'm not frightfully up
on the price of oil.
468
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,339
Say 20 dollars a barrel,
cost of extraction 5.
469
00:32:26,510 --> 00:32:29,629
So in round terms, 15 billion dollars.
470
00:32:30,638 --> 00:32:34,220
Your consultancy fee would be 0.005%.
471
00:32:34,767 --> 00:32:37,174
Doesn't sound very big.
472
00:32:37,394 --> 00:32:39,967
- Seven and a half million?
- Ah.
473
00:32:40,146 --> 00:32:44,096
The first instalment
is already in your Zurich account.
474
00:32:44,275 --> 00:32:46,351
How nice.
475
00:32:46,527 --> 00:32:50,690
- What do you think I have here?
- I'm not sure I care to know.
476
00:32:50,864 --> 00:32:53,437
A little gift to celebrate good fortune.
477
00:32:53,617 --> 00:32:56,190
For the Urquhart Library, perhaps.
478
00:32:56,369 --> 00:33:00,152
Or maybe just to read at home
on long winter evenings.
479
00:33:01,832 --> 00:33:04,370
"The Prince". Niccol� Machiavelli.
480
00:33:04,584 --> 00:33:07,081
What a lovely thought!
481
00:33:07,082 --> 00:33:09,578
This is one of Francis's
particular favourites.
482
00:33:09,756 --> 00:33:12,329
Thank you very much, Mr Nures.
483
00:33:12,508 --> 00:33:15,081
We really should be getting back.
484
00:33:16,428 --> 00:33:19,713
Now that the Cyprus peace deal
is complete,
485
00:33:19,889 --> 00:33:23,839
will the Prime Minster release papers
about the unmarked graves
486
00:33:24,018 --> 00:33:28,679
of Greek Cypriot freedom fighters
killed by the British army in the '50s?
487
00:33:28,856 --> 00:33:33,564
I refer in particular to the deaths
of Georgios and Eurypides Passolides,
488
00:33:33,735 --> 00:33:36,445
of which the Prime Minister
is well aware,
489
00:33:36,546 --> 00:33:39,155
but also to all those unpublished deaths
490
00:33:39,365 --> 00:33:42,484
which still cause distress
to surviving relatives
491
00:33:42,659 --> 00:33:45,280
who have never properly mourned them.
492
00:33:46,496 --> 00:33:48,572
Prime Minister?
493
00:33:49,790 --> 00:33:52,793
I am surprised to find the
Right Honourable Gentleman
494
00:33:52,994 --> 00:33:54,997
so out of touch so soon.
495
00:33:55,170 --> 00:34:00,377
The documentation that has survived,
such as it is, is in the public domain.
496
00:34:01,050 --> 00:34:03,422
With certain exceptions.
497
00:34:03,594 --> 00:34:05,883
The particular case
498
00:34:05,884 --> 00:34:08,172
to which the Right
Honourable Gentleman refers
499
00:34:08,348 --> 00:34:10,886
is still covered by the 50-year rule
500
00:34:10,887 --> 00:34:13,425
and is therefore not
available for scrutiny.
501
00:34:14,896 --> 00:34:16,971
Mr Tom Makepeace.
502
00:34:17,148 --> 00:34:21,809
Will the Prime Minister deny
that this incident involved the killing
503
00:34:21,985 --> 00:34:24,788
of two defenceless boys by
a member of the British army
504
00:34:24,989 --> 00:34:27,192
known personally to him
505
00:34:27,365 --> 00:34:30,983
who was a serving officer
on the island at the time?
506
00:34:33,370 --> 00:34:35,446
Prime Minister?
507
00:34:38,208 --> 00:34:42,916
I have no idea what the Right Honourable
Gentleman is talking about.
508
00:34:43,629 --> 00:34:47,128
Here we are, celebrating
a great achievement,
509
00:34:47,299 --> 00:34:49,920
guaranteeing not only peace for Cyprus,
510
00:34:50,093 --> 00:34:53,960
but enormous opportunities
for investment and development
511
00:34:54,138 --> 00:34:56,629
involving British aid and expertise.
512
00:34:56,849 --> 00:35:01,427
Everyone except, it seems,
the Right Honourable Gentleman is happy.
513
00:35:01,645 --> 00:35:03,721
Hear, hear!
514
00:35:03,897 --> 00:35:06,725
Is this the moment to start
opening old wounds?
515
00:35:06,926 --> 00:35:09,353
Madam Speaker, I think not.
516
00:35:10,611 --> 00:35:13,481
What's Sooty got to say about it?
517
00:35:14,281 --> 00:35:16,357
Mr Tom Makepeace.
518
00:35:16,533 --> 00:35:19,046
Is the Prime Minister
not opening up new wounds,
519
00:35:19,247 --> 00:35:21,360
presiding over a carve-up?
520
00:35:21,579 --> 00:35:24,283
Who will benefit from the opportunities?
521
00:35:24,498 --> 00:35:27,249
Not the ordinary people of Cyprus!
522
00:35:27,417 --> 00:35:30,286
Just as the people of Britain
have seen little benefit
523
00:35:30,487 --> 00:35:32,956
from the economic recovery.
524
00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:35,858
It is no longer acceptable
that this country
525
00:35:35,959 --> 00:35:38,586
is run for the sole
benefit of British business,
526
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,923
which has come to mean
a small and cynical club of cronies
527
00:35:43,139 --> 00:35:48,180
in the know and on the make -
the friends of Francis Urquhart!
528
00:35:48,394 --> 00:35:51,264
Order! Order!
529
00:35:52,105 --> 00:35:54,857
Order! Order!
530
00:35:56,901 --> 00:35:58,977
Prime Minister.
531
00:36:05,242 --> 00:36:09,191
The Right Honourable Gentleman
has made accusations
532
00:36:09,370 --> 00:36:11,944
under parliamentary privilege.
533
00:36:12,123 --> 00:36:17,627
Is he prepared to face personal ruin
by repeating them outside parliament
534
00:36:17,794 --> 00:36:21,210
where he will be subject
to the law of the land?
535
00:36:21,881 --> 00:36:24,668
If not,
then there is no more to be said.
536
00:36:25,343 --> 00:36:28,130
We can treat his words with contempt.
537
00:36:28,345 --> 00:36:31,630
As for the rest
of his intemperate remarks,
538
00:36:31,807 --> 00:36:35,424
might I remind the House
that until a few weeks ago,
539
00:36:35,602 --> 00:36:39,765
the Right Honourable Gentleman
was a government minister?
540
00:36:39,939 --> 00:36:44,232
If he thought things were so dreadful,
why didn't he say so then?
541
00:36:44,401 --> 00:36:47,770
And why didn't he do something about it?
542
00:36:49,822 --> 00:36:53,487
He's got it right now.
And he's got you right an' all!
543
00:36:56,411 --> 00:36:58,155
Order!
544
00:37:01,624 --> 00:37:04,329
Makepeace knows something.
545
00:37:04,502 --> 00:37:08,665
A lot of it was hot air and guesswork,
but he knows something.
546
00:37:08,839 --> 00:37:11,164
Something about Cyprus.
547
00:37:11,341 --> 00:37:14,710
- You think he knows about the oil?
- Not that.
548
00:37:14,886 --> 00:37:18,301
But that girl was
in the public gallery again.
549
00:37:18,472 --> 00:37:22,256
She came to me first.
She must have gone to Makepeace.
550
00:37:22,434 --> 00:37:25,221
He mentioned unmarked EOKA graves.
551
00:37:25,395 --> 00:37:27,471
What girl, Francis?
552
00:37:27,647 --> 00:37:30,138
Her name is Maria Passolides.
553
00:37:30,316 --> 00:37:33,435
She thinks I know
something about her uncles
554
00:37:33,611 --> 00:37:37,228
who were killed
in the Troodos Mountains in 1956.
555
00:37:37,405 --> 00:37:40,525
- Do you know something about it?
- Yes.
556
00:37:40,700 --> 00:37:43,535
I killed them myself,
as a matter of fact.
557
00:37:43,744 --> 00:37:46,240
It wasn't a war crime
or anything like that.
558
00:37:46,441 --> 00:37:48,536
It was an act of mercy.
559
00:37:50,459 --> 00:37:53,163
Francis...can this harm us?
560
00:37:53,378 --> 00:37:58,502
I don't see how it can. After all,
nobody knows what really happened now.
561
00:37:58,716 --> 00:38:01,070
It was a military operation.
562
00:38:01,071 --> 00:38:03,424
They were terrorists
and these things happen.
563
00:38:03,595 --> 00:38:05,883
Of course they do.
564
00:38:06,055 --> 00:38:09,471
But it's strange
that it should come back now.
565
00:38:17,274 --> 00:38:20,012
I had a peculiar feeling
in the House this afternoon,
566
00:38:20,213 --> 00:38:22,350
as if I couldn't quite...
567
00:38:23,446 --> 00:38:25,521
..smell the mood.
568
00:38:25,698 --> 00:38:30,489
You were superb.
You made Makepeace look a complete fool.
569
00:38:30,660 --> 00:38:33,233
You silenced him. He had no comeback.
570
00:38:33,413 --> 00:38:37,362
Yes, but I had the odd impression
that they didn't like it.
571
00:38:37,541 --> 00:38:41,870
They didn't want to see him savaged
and he sat there looking at me
572
00:38:42,045 --> 00:38:44,275
as if there was something
he sensed going on
573
00:38:44,676 --> 00:38:46,505
that I couldn't sense.
574
00:38:48,801 --> 00:38:51,292
I couldn't tell what was going on.
575
00:38:51,512 --> 00:38:55,675
Nobody wins the party leadership
on a sympathy vote, Francis.
576
00:38:57,308 --> 00:39:00,843
Tom Makepeace is a weak,
philandering renegade.
577
00:39:01,062 --> 00:39:03,137
He can't win.
578
00:39:03,939 --> 00:39:06,311
We simply won't permit it.
579
00:39:15,616 --> 00:39:18,189
He's putting a very brave face on it,
580
00:39:18,368 --> 00:39:22,531
but his support's dropping off
like a guardsman's britches.
581
00:39:22,706 --> 00:39:27,497
- I thought he had over 100 in the bag.
- The chaps are taking a second look.
582
00:39:27,668 --> 00:39:32,330
I don't like a man who rubbishes
what he said the day before yesterday.
583
00:39:32,506 --> 00:39:35,127
Exactly. Massive credibility cleavage.
584
00:39:35,759 --> 00:39:38,413
And FU is as straight as a die.
Never wavers.
585
00:39:38,614 --> 00:39:40,467
People respect him for that.
586
00:39:40,638 --> 00:39:44,635
But can we stomach
another five years of the old bastard?
587
00:39:44,808 --> 00:39:47,263
Frankly, I'd back Donald Duck
588
00:39:47,264 --> 00:39:49,719
if he got the voters out
and kept my seat safe.
589
00:39:49,896 --> 00:39:53,347
Failing the duck,
FU is still your best bet, Clive.
590
00:39:58,612 --> 00:40:00,937
- Hello.
- Hello.
591
00:40:01,156 --> 00:40:05,485
I thought you were terrific today.
Those things needed saying.
592
00:40:06,202 --> 00:40:09,950
This is going to sound silly,
but I felt proud of you.
593
00:40:10,122 --> 00:40:12,826
Proud to have... Well, you know.
594
00:40:12,999 --> 00:40:15,704
- Thank you.
- That's it, really.
595
00:40:16,711 --> 00:40:19,284
Good luck, Tom. I mean that.
596
00:40:23,967 --> 00:40:27,087
Does one normally pay
for that sort of thing?
597
00:40:27,262 --> 00:40:29,338
Sooty! Over here!
598
00:40:36,186 --> 00:40:38,511
How's it looking, Sooty?
599
00:40:38,688 --> 00:40:41,179
"Geoffrey", if you don't mind!
600
00:40:41,858 --> 00:40:44,271
Anyway, it's not at all clear.
601
00:40:44,272 --> 00:40:46,685
FU will win, but it won't be
by a huge margin.
602
00:40:46,862 --> 00:40:51,274
I think what the people really want
is a savage lurch to the right.
603
00:40:51,450 --> 00:40:54,180
Some of these backwoodsmen
have been coming on
604
00:40:54,381 --> 00:40:56,111
like the Ku Klux Klan.
605
00:40:56,287 --> 00:41:00,071
If that's what they want,
tomorrow belongs to John Rayner.
606
00:41:00,958 --> 00:41:04,576
We could even sing the song
at the party conference.
607
00:41:07,422 --> 00:41:09,995
Yeah, yeah, all right, all right.
608
00:41:10,174 --> 00:41:14,966
Seriously, I wouldn't be so bashful
about my most deeply-held beliefs.
609
00:41:15,846 --> 00:41:18,383
I think there will be a second ballot.
610
00:41:22,226 --> 00:41:23,768
Right.
611
00:41:24,312 --> 00:41:26,185
Thanks, Geoff.
612
00:41:27,689 --> 00:41:29,481
I won't forget this.
613
00:41:30,484 --> 00:41:32,275
OK. Yeah.
614
00:41:33,361 --> 00:41:35,982
I'll see you in the House tomorrow.
615
00:41:36,155 --> 00:41:38,313
Thanks a lot. Bye.
616
00:41:39,617 --> 00:41:42,238
Well...nothing more we can do.
617
00:41:43,328 --> 00:41:45,783
I've given my all tonight.
618
00:41:48,332 --> 00:41:52,460
- Lovely wine, this, Claire.
- That's your last glass of it.
619
00:41:53,796 --> 00:41:56,417
He'll pull through the first ballot.
620
00:41:56,590 --> 00:41:58,878
Sure. But then what?
621
00:41:59,050 --> 00:42:02,584
If he doesn't get the margin,
he should fight on.
622
00:42:02,762 --> 00:42:04,920
Why do you think that?
623
00:42:05,097 --> 00:42:09,177
Because there's no one
fit to take his place. Not yet.
624
00:42:10,143 --> 00:42:12,894
You used to be a Makepeace girl.
625
00:42:13,688 --> 00:42:16,261
Till I got to know him too well.
626
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,852
He's... No, you wouldn't understand
because you're like that too.
627
00:42:21,528 --> 00:42:24,731
- Like what?
- Soft. Weak.
628
00:42:26,282 --> 00:42:28,903
In the nicest possible way, of course.
629
00:42:30,369 --> 00:42:32,658
Now I've offended you.
630
00:42:34,247 --> 00:42:38,909
You want it for yourself, don't you?
You want to be Prime Minister.
631
00:42:39,085 --> 00:42:41,872
Geoffrey, you're being ridiculous.
632
00:42:42,046 --> 00:42:45,165
You want to be Prime Minister
next time round.
633
00:42:45,340 --> 00:42:48,875
- You've covered your bets both ways.
- Nonsense.
634
00:42:49,052 --> 00:42:52,006
Look, don't get me wrong, darling.
635
00:42:54,056 --> 00:42:57,721
I think it's wonderful.
I think YOU'RE wonderful.
636
00:42:57,893 --> 00:43:02,021
You're such a ruffian.
My tough, brilliant little sister.
637
00:43:03,023 --> 00:43:06,521
- I'm not your sister, Geoffrey.
- Yes, you are.
638
00:43:06,692 --> 00:43:09,271
We're the clever ones.
Most of that bunch,
639
00:43:09,472 --> 00:43:11,650
they're like dinosaurs in suits.
640
00:43:11,822 --> 00:43:14,850
They have no idea we're playing
with their little brains.
641
00:43:15,051 --> 00:43:17,278
I want to help you.
642
00:43:18,661 --> 00:43:21,234
You have. You've been brilliant.
643
00:43:21,414 --> 00:43:23,739
No, I mean all the way.
644
00:43:23,916 --> 00:43:26,288
You can make it. I can't.
645
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:31,835
Though I am perceived, you know,
a Sooty, chorus boy, all that...
646
00:43:34,175 --> 00:43:38,089
What I want to say is...
I think you're wonderful.
647
00:43:39,846 --> 00:43:42,847
I'm yours, Claire. All the way.
648
00:43:46,269 --> 00:43:48,344
Thank you, Geoffrey.
649
00:43:48,521 --> 00:43:50,596
Seal the pact, huh?
650
00:43:51,565 --> 00:43:53,641
In there, I mean.
651
00:43:53,817 --> 00:43:56,486
We'd be wonderful. What do you say?
652
00:43:58,154 --> 00:44:02,483
No, thank you, Geoffrey.
I don't think it would be appropriate.
653
00:44:03,742 --> 00:44:06,945
- Anyway, I have to go now.
- Where?
654
00:44:08,204 --> 00:44:10,777
Home to my husband, of course.
655
00:44:33,393 --> 00:44:36,113
In the first ballot for
the leadership of the party,
656
00:44:36,314 --> 00:44:38,434
the votes cast were as follows.
657
00:44:38,606 --> 00:44:41,441
The Prime Minister - 202.
658
00:44:41,608 --> 00:44:44,099
Tom Makepeace - 145.
659
00:44:46,488 --> 00:44:48,818
Neither of the candidates
660
00:44:48,819 --> 00:44:51,149
secured a sufficient
majority under the rules.
661
00:44:51,325 --> 00:44:56,366
There'll be a second ballot next week
open to any other nominated candidates.
662
00:44:56,538 --> 00:44:59,492
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
663
00:44:59,708 --> 00:45:02,162
But surely FU will win
the second ballot.
664
00:45:02,363 --> 00:45:04,416
No one will vote twice for a loser.
665
00:45:04,587 --> 00:45:06,663
On the contrary...
666
00:45:07,214 --> 00:45:09,705
I think he's buggered, Wolf.
667
00:45:09,883 --> 00:45:14,046
202 votes is almost exactly
what Maggie got in the first ballot
668
00:45:14,220 --> 00:45:16,296
and look what happened to her.
669
00:45:23,478 --> 00:45:27,262
- Tom!
- Hello. How are you? What's all this?
670
00:45:27,899 --> 00:45:30,603
How do you feel after the first ballot?
671
00:45:30,776 --> 00:45:34,394
Is this the beginning of the end
for Francis Urquhart?
672
00:45:34,571 --> 00:45:37,174
That's not for me to say.
673
00:45:37,175 --> 00:45:39,778
I'm keenly looking forward
to the second ballot.
674
00:45:39,951 --> 00:45:42,442
It's Prime Minister or bust, eh, Tom?
675
00:45:42,620 --> 00:45:46,035
No, I'm keen to serve my country
in any way I can.
676
00:45:46,206 --> 00:45:50,500
If the people want me as Prime Minister,
I'll give it my best shot.
677
00:45:50,669 --> 00:45:52,744
Thanks. Goodbye.
678
00:45:53,963 --> 00:45:55,505
Hilary!
679
00:45:55,673 --> 00:45:57,749
I'm in here, Tom.
680
00:46:01,887 --> 00:46:05,090
Congratulations. Is it congratulations?
681
00:46:05,265 --> 00:46:07,340
I rather think it is.
682
00:46:08,059 --> 00:46:11,427
Nobody thought I could beat him.
Now they do.
683
00:46:12,104 --> 00:46:14,595
I think he's on the way out.
684
00:46:14,773 --> 00:46:17,014
Well, bully for you!
685
00:46:17,233 --> 00:46:20,187
I mean it. You've worked so hard for it.
686
00:46:21,237 --> 00:46:23,810
- Are you going out?
- Yes, I am.
687
00:46:24,031 --> 00:46:26,403
I'm going round to John's.
688
00:46:26,575 --> 00:46:28,947
Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
689
00:46:29,119 --> 00:46:31,722
I'll probably stay the night.
690
00:46:31,723 --> 00:46:34,325
You didn't need me for
anything in particular?
691
00:46:36,917 --> 00:46:38,993
What do you mean?
692
00:46:41,254 --> 00:46:45,121
I don't suppose
there can be a good time to say this.
693
00:46:46,175 --> 00:46:48,796
I've decided to leave you, Tom.
694
00:46:49,470 --> 00:46:54,297
I'm sorry. I realise that this has come
at a very inconvenient time for you
695
00:46:54,474 --> 00:46:57,284
and I'll try to fit in
with your plans as far as I can,
696
00:46:57,485 --> 00:46:59,895
but I feel that I have to do this.
697
00:47:00,062 --> 00:47:03,182
Well, for me, if you see what I mean.
698
00:47:06,652 --> 00:47:10,102
- You know I'd never leave you.
- Yes, I know.
699
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,210
But you don't really want
very much from me these days,
700
00:47:13,411 --> 00:47:14,941
and John does.
701
00:47:15,117 --> 00:47:16,492
I...
702
00:47:19,329 --> 00:47:22,116
I'm very fond of you. You know that.
703
00:47:22,290 --> 00:47:24,697
Not quite the same thing.
704
00:47:25,626 --> 00:47:28,117
You'll be all right, Tom.
705
00:47:28,295 --> 00:47:32,458
You're a bit of a baby emotionally
and lots of women love that.
706
00:47:32,632 --> 00:47:36,677
- You could get Claire back. I'm sure...
- Don't you console me!
707
00:47:36,844 --> 00:47:39,880
Sorry. Look, I think I'd better go now.
708
00:47:41,515 --> 00:47:46,675
I promise I won't do anything in a hurry
and I'll try not to embarrass you.
709
00:48:01,950 --> 00:48:04,025
I will not give way.
710
00:48:06,245 --> 00:48:08,321
I will never give way.
711
00:48:08,539 --> 00:48:12,203
Earlier this evening,
I had the opportunity to canvass...
712
00:48:12,375 --> 00:48:15,993
- Prime MinisterI Hywell Harris, BBC.
- Hello, Mr Harris.
713
00:48:16,170 --> 00:48:19,420
Yes, I've heard the news
and I'm greatly encouraged.
714
00:48:19,590 --> 00:48:21,970
I will fight, fight and fight again
715
00:48:21,971 --> 00:48:24,750
and lead my party to victory
as I've always done.
716
00:48:24,928 --> 00:48:28,261
Thank you all for waiting up
so patiently. Goodnight.
717
00:48:58,833 --> 00:49:01,454
- Tell me it isn't true.
- What isn't true?
718
00:49:01,627 --> 00:49:04,912
That you were the one
who killed Roger O'Neill.
719
00:49:05,088 --> 00:49:07,659
We shouldn't be too pessimistic,
Francis.
720
00:49:07,860 --> 00:49:09,631
You did win the ballot.
721
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,920
I should have routed him.
Now he smells blood.
722
00:49:13,095 --> 00:49:16,023
He will draw more support,
now they see it's possible,
723
00:49:16,224 --> 00:49:18,551
but you can still beat him.
724
00:49:18,767 --> 00:49:21,222
Where the hell is Geoffrey?
725
00:49:21,394 --> 00:49:25,261
He had to go into hospital.
An old groin injury flared up.
726
00:49:25,439 --> 00:49:28,042
How very convenient And, Claire,
727
00:49:28,043 --> 00:49:30,646
isn't it time YOU deserted
the sinking ship?
728
00:49:30,819 --> 00:49:33,392
- Not at all.
- Too late, is it?
729
00:49:33,571 --> 00:49:37,189
Francis, you should know
I'm with you all the way.
730
00:49:39,451 --> 00:49:42,286
What we need now is a new initiative.
731
00:49:42,454 --> 00:49:45,573
A diversion,
something that can win us time
732
00:49:45,748 --> 00:49:48,951
and reminds them
of your strength and leadership.
733
00:49:49,126 --> 00:49:51,617
So only a miracle can save me now.
734
00:49:57,133 --> 00:50:00,917
..fight, fight and fight again
and lead my party to victory...
735
00:50:01,179 --> 00:50:04,298
I'm keen to serve my country
in any way I can.
736
00:50:04,473 --> 00:50:07,427
If the people want me
as Prime Minister...
737
00:50:07,601 --> 00:50:11,550
When I was a boy,
I was once taken to a badger baiting.
738
00:50:12,814 --> 00:50:15,518
It's an experience
you don't easily forget.
739
00:50:16,692 --> 00:50:20,736
The badger is tremendously strong
and utterly fearless.
740
00:50:21,655 --> 00:50:26,446
One bite can take off a dog's leg,
crush its skull, even.
741
00:50:28,994 --> 00:50:31,865
They put the badger
in with several dogs.
742
00:50:33,999 --> 00:50:37,083
At first, the dogs' task seems hopeless.
743
00:50:39,379 --> 00:50:41,834
They get horribly damaged.
744
00:50:43,841 --> 00:50:45,917
And then one dog...
745
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,175
..gets in a lucky snap and draws blood.
746
00:50:53,015 --> 00:50:55,423
And the rest take heart.
747
00:50:57,144 --> 00:50:59,765
But, Francis, you're secure now.
748
00:51:01,022 --> 00:51:05,518
The Urquhart Trust is assured,
our financial future guaranteed.
749
00:51:06,235 --> 00:51:08,856
You know you could simply walk away.
750
00:51:09,029 --> 00:51:14,236
No. "I have set my life upon a cast
and I will stand the hazard of the die."
751
00:51:15,285 --> 00:51:17,515
I have to go on, Elizabeth.
752
00:51:17,516 --> 00:51:19,745
It's as simple as that.
I can do no other.
753
00:51:19,914 --> 00:51:21,456
I know.
754
00:51:23,042 --> 00:51:26,955
But, Francis, I don't think
I could bear to see you wounded.
755
00:51:31,049 --> 00:51:34,998
Claire Carlsen implied
that what we need now is a miracle,
756
00:51:35,177 --> 00:51:38,842
as if she thought me capable
of splitting the Earth's crust.
757
00:51:42,892 --> 00:51:44,968
The Earth's crust.
758
00:51:46,103 --> 00:51:47,645
Francis?
759
00:51:49,606 --> 00:51:53,604
Suppose we leak information
to the Greeks and the French
760
00:51:53,777 --> 00:51:56,350
that they have been cynically conned.
761
00:51:56,529 --> 00:52:00,147
There are massive oil deposits
off the coast of Cyprus.
762
00:52:00,324 --> 00:52:03,013
The British and the Turks
are now exploiting it
763
00:52:03,214 --> 00:52:04,902
to enrich themselves.
764
00:52:05,078 --> 00:52:08,743
- It's too dangerous.
- Provoking an international incident.
765
00:52:08,915 --> 00:52:10,996
A small war, perhaps,
766
00:52:10,997 --> 00:52:13,078
to which we can react
with moral outrage,
767
00:52:13,252 --> 00:52:15,956
uniting behind a strong Prime Minister!
768
00:52:16,129 --> 00:52:19,463
But we'd risk losing everything.
769
00:52:19,674 --> 00:52:22,247
Better to do that than to slink away.
770
00:52:22,427 --> 00:52:25,546
One way or the other,
I'll be remembered.
771
00:52:25,721 --> 00:52:28,675
This could be our Falklands, Elizabeth.
772
00:52:30,100 --> 00:52:32,342
Our Falklands!
