Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,631
Stay, girl.
2
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,000
All right. Carry on, Burnett.
3
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,873
All things pass. Nothing lasts for ever.
4
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,591
She was a good bitch.
5
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,550
She had a good life, and there are some things
one prefers to do oneself.
6
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,714
Actually, that's a service one would like
to be available on the National Health.
7
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,996
Or indeed compulsory.
8
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,515
Well, compulsory for some.
9
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,551
(MAN) The young king there
10
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,036
under the watchful eye of the Prime Minister,
11
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,953
his guide and mentor in so many ways.
12
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,591
What a rigmarole!
13
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,990
A full state funeral now.
14
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,152
The woman simply hung around too long.
15
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,271
Better a quick exit than clinging
to the wreckage of a lost career.
16
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,031
Some people seem to lack all sense of timing.
17
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:43,315
The Prime Minister...clearly moved at the passing
18
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,473
of Britain's longest-servingand first woman prime minister.
19
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:50,108
Speaking earlier today, he said...
20
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,637
(URQUHART) A remarkable lifeand a remarkable and inspiring career.
21
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,590
This is and will remain a momentous dayin the history of our great country.
22
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,308
- What else could I say?
- Certainly not the truth.
23
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,035
They'll ask for a statue
on Parliament Square next!
24
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,233
I want to erase that woman
from the public memory, Elizabeth.
25
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,868
I want to wipe her off the board.
26
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,749
I want to be the greatest prime minister
since Churchill.
27
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,030
You will be, Francis.
28
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,194
I want to do something about Europe
before I go. I've left my mark on England.
29
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,828
I want to leave my mark on the world.
30
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,273
- Over here, sir.
- Over here, sir.
31
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,708
- Thank you, sir.
- One more before you go.
32
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,634
- Good afternoon, sir.
- Good afternoon.
33
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,791
Ah, Prime Minister!
34
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,072
Right, sir, this one first,
then this one, and that's the Cyprus file.
35
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,429
I thought you might like
to glance through the paper.
36
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,875
Thank you, Barry.
That's very thoughtful of you (!)
37
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,629
(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)
38
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,709
(SWITCHES MUSIC OFF)
39
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,077
People are so very unappreciative, aren't they?
40
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,234
They do not understand what I have done
and what I may do for my country.
41
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,110
Or the burdens you've had to bear
for their sake. They understand nothing.
42
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:01,637
"How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
to have a thankless child!"
43
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,793
Francis, this afternoon you said,
"Before I go..."
44
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,349
You've never said that before.
45
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,952
We all have to go sooner or later, Elizabeth.
46
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,439
(WOMAN) Daddy.
47
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,158
Daddy!
48
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,151
But not yet.
49
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,594
No, not yet.
Far too many things I want to do first.
50
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,274
It's time you considered your own needs.
51
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:36,230
Not what you can do for your country,
but what your country can do for you.
52
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,868
We need a little pension plan.
53
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,508
There's a man I'd like you to meet.
54
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,672
His name is Nures. He's a Turkish Cypriot.
55
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:47,354
He's given generously to the party funds.
56
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,875
He genuinely wants to help.
57
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,396
- I think he's one of us.
- Thank you, Elizabeth.
58
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,513
How do you feel about me now?
Like a force of nature, perhaps?
59
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,150
I've been here so long now that,
love me or hate me,
60
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,915
it's hard for you to imagine
anyone else in my place.
61
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,152
Isn't it?
62
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,630
But there are some who dream of little else.
63
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,271
My honourable friends, of course.My loyal ministers, my cabinet.
64
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,274
Tom Makepeace, Foreign Secretary,an honourable man.
65
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,148
Bullock, Capstick, Ravenscourt,
66
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,311
Sparrowhawk, Crowe -
67
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,995
all honourable menuntil they sniff out any weakness.
68
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,668
And then the younger generation -
69
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:38,070
Rayner, Polecutt, Wolfin.
70
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,708
Best kept on the leash and muzzledI
71
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,553
John Rayner looks as if he'd worry sheepI
72
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,510
This latest report does feature a number of cases
73
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,194
where there seem to be real grievances,
74
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,874
and we need to pay special attention...
75
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,511
It's time to ginger things up,
remind them who's the leader of the pack,
76
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,912
select a scapegoat and enact a token mounting.
Who shall it be?
77
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,352
Geoffrey?
78
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,468
Little Geoffrey Booza Pitt?
79
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,198
No, not Geoffrey. Not this time.
80
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,551
We cannot be seen to condemn the very old
to disability or illness.
81
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,188
Let's start with Betsy Bourke.
82
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,354
..hospital area managers, making sure
that this situation can never arise again.
83
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,274
We must make it clear
we are not abandoning the elderly.
84
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:35,434
Of course not! That's why we brought in
age insurance. If they pay, they're OK.
85
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,594
If not, well, it's no skin off our noses.
86
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,228
Damage limitation again, Betsy?
87
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,916
I'd rather see it as an opportunity
to reaffirm some basic principles.
88
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,312
The principle here being
the right to live for ever in perfect health?
89
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,751
- Politics is about making choices.
- Of course it is!
90
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,236
And treating each other like human beings.
91
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:02,554
We can't throw old people out of hospital
because they can't pay for treatment!
92
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,354
We need a safety net. It's unarguable.
93
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,949
Nothing's unarguable, Tom.
94
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,350
Nothing's unthinkable.
95
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,116
We have too many old people in Britain.
Let's not shy away from the problem.
96
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,710
What are you suggesting, John?
Euthanasia at 65?
97
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,111
- Of course not, Prime Minister.
- I'm very relieved.
98
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,709
I saw beggars on the street yesterday.
99
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,391
I thought the Vagrancy Act
had cleared that nuisance off our streets.
100
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,028
There are still problems, Prime Minister.
101
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,668
I don't want to hear about your problems.
102
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,874
I had hoped in this area, as in others,
103
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,989
we could have grasped the nettle
and challenged the culture of dependency.
104
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,549
I'm very disappointed, Betsy.
105
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,430
Prime Minister, if we abandon
the last remaining safeguards in our system,
106
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,068
we'll be the pariahs of Europe!
107
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,754
More than one way of being European.
108
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,911
(LAUGHTER)
109
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,878
Thank you. Thank you all very much.
110
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,190
We'll talk soon, Betsy.
111
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,359
Betsy.
112
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,708
- He can be such a bastard.
- I know.
113
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:20,074
I thought I'd given him what he wanted.
114
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,756
He just likes playing games.
Your turn today, someone else's tomorrow.
115
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,390
You'll be back on the mantelpiece, Betsy.
Trust me.
116
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:30,949
You're a good friend, Geoffrey.
117
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,111
I should think so too.
118
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:39,557
If at any time you felt inclined
for something a little bit closer than that...
119
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,274
You know how I've always fancied you!
120
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,115
Geoffrey Booza Pitt, you're an impossible man!
121
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,799
No, no.
122
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,951
Quite feasible.
123
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,032
Quite feasible in every way. Believe me.
124
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,472
- (KNOCK AT DOOR)
- Come in, Geoffrey.
125
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,831
- Prime Minister.
- How's Betsy?
126
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,396
She's quite upset. She called you a bastard.
127
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:15,710
I've been called worse.
128
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,270
That was all about John Rayner
and Tom Makepeace.
129
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,432
Flushing them out of cover into open ground.
130
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,797
- Each of them sees himself as leader.
- You don't?
131
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,199
No. Rayner doesn't have the intellect,
Makepeace doesn't have the guts.
132
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,353
Having so little of either myself,
it isn't for me to comment.
133
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,034
They're a couple of sanctimonious shits.
134
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,998
Yes. Just put the word about discreetly.
135
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,152
The PM is contemplating a cabinet reshuffle.
136
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,959
Not a purge, just two or three key posts.
137
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,636
Absolutely no question
of giving up the leadership in the near future.
138
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,917
It might be time to put a bit of stick about.
139
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,353
Order!
140
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,550
Mr Graham Glass.
141
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,234
Will the Prime Minister tell us the latest
manufacturing unemployment figures?
142
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,550
(SHOUTING) Hear, hear!
143
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,711
(LAUGHTER)
144
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,313
Come on!
145
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,355
I put them on your desk this morning,
Prime Minister.
146
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,753
I thank the Honourable Gentleman
for allowing me to confirm
147
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,232
that the unemployment figures
are down again this month.
148
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,433
A complete vindication
of this government's economic policies.
149
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,991
Yes, but what are the actual figures?
Does he know what they are?
150
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:49,636
(UPROAR)
151
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,791
He doesn't know.
152
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,554
He doesn't care.
153
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,073
Order!
154
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,358
Order!
155
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,228
Madam Speaker,
if the Honourable Gentleman is too busy
156
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,791
to look up the figures for himself,
I am very happy to tell him
157
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,993
that the exact figure is 1,875,403.
158
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,391
That's as of the first of this month, of course.
159
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,236
Time's up. Statement from the Prime Minister.
160
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:30,474
Next month, the Greek and Turkish presidents
of Cyprus will meet in Britain
161
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:35,714
to sign the peace settlement
that has eluded all parties for over a generation.
162
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,997
This peace treaty has been made available
163
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,676
through the initiatives
your Prime Minister was able to set in motion
164
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,470
and follow through in some of
the toughest and most intricate negotiations
165
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:50,511
in recent years.
166
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,838
And thanks is due too
to my Right Honourable Friend,
167
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,033
the Secretary of State
for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs
168
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,671
who has, of necessity, been loaded down
with much of the donkey work,
169
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,354
and I am very grateful to him.
170
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:09,791
Cyprus has a particular significance for me,
171
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,669
if the House will permit me
to be personal for a moment.
172
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:19,075
I spent three crucial years
on that beautiful island at a very troubled time.
173
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,671
It would hardly be an exaggeration
to say that I grew up there.
174
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,434
Right Honourable and Honourable Members
will forgive me this once, I hope,
175
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,592
if I find it a little difficult to concentrate
176
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,274
on trivial domestic squabbles today.
177
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,389
There is a world elsewhere.
178
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,828
And I'm very proud to have helped
179
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,468
to change that world for good...
180
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,431
..and for ever.
181
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:03,551
Hear, hear!
182
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:06,959
Brilliant.
183
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,268
Not one of your better days, Barry.
184
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,956
I'm sure I put the file on your desk, Francis.
It must have slipped your mind.
185
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,713
Anyway, you gave him the figures.
How did you do that?
186
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,670
I made them up, but I'd prefer
not to live quite so dangerously in future!
187
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,432
- Brilliant, FU. Awesome.
- Thank you, Geoffrey.
188
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,152
Claire! How are you? Did you enjoy that?
189
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:38,713
It was an outrageous performance.
Tom Makepeace must be quite rightly furious.
190
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,388
He still puts on one hell of a good show.
191
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,869
Better than anyone. Such a star!
192
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,232
At one moment I thought he'd lost the plot,
then he stormed back.
193
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,989
- Was that real or just for effect?
- Never underestimate him.
194
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,675
- I never would, Geoffrey.
- Good. He's talent-spotting.
195
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,638
He might like the look of your...CV.
196
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,831
Prime Minister!
197
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,468
Tom. You didn't mind, I hope?
198
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,154
You agreed I would make the statement.
199
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:12,314
Did I? I'm so sorry. I haven't hurt your feelings?
I mentioned your contribution.
200
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,950
"Donkey work"?
The ideas and initiatives were mine.
201
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,112
I did 90% of the negotiations in bloody person!
202
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,068
This is too important an issue
for wounded vanity, Tom.
203
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,631
But I won't hold it against you.
You've done tremendous work on this.
204
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,279
Good man!
205
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:34,434
He is a good man too. Very able, honest,
but a bit too ambitious for his own good.
206
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,957
I shouldn't have roughed him up like that,
but I just can't resist it.
207
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,272
Enough of that.
Can't fritter all our time away in Westminster.
208
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,955
None of the real business of the world
gets settled there.
209
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,479
(MAN) Oh, excellent! Jolly good shot!
210
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,913
It's the turn of the wrist, Mrs Urquhart.
211
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,553
I wouldn't have thought
you'd be such an aficionado, Mr Nures.
212
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,712
I adore cricket. I adore everything English.
213
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,394
Cricket at Lord's, Oxford, Glyndebourne.
214
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,949
Not enough Wagner for me.
215
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,636
And English women especially.
England has the best women in the world.
216
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,916
You're too kind.
217
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,271
Thank you, Corder. So sorry to keep you waiting.
218
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,471
What's the score?
219
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,551
206 for 3.
220
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,115
- Jolly good.
- Francis, this is Mr Nures.
221
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,915
He's been very generous
with his donations to party funds.
222
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,073
Mr Nures, I'm delighted to meet you.
I am very grateful.
223
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,708
It is I who am grateful, Mr Urquhart.
224
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,874
You have created the climate
in which a man of vision can express himself fully.
225
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,033
England is the best country now
for the merchant adventurer.
226
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,192
I feel at home here. I love what you're doing.
227
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,999
I see it as a new Elizabethan age -
228
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,879
the splendour here, the squalor there.
229
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,719
Life in all its rich complexity.
230
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,158
Lovely shot!
231
00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:15,592
- Thank you, Mr Nures.
- I was telling Mr Nures about our dream.
232
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,912
The Urquhart Trust. We'd love to endow
a chair at Oxford or Cambridge.
233
00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:22,588
Far beyond our personal means.
234
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:27,151
Nothing's impossible,
but nothing will come of nothing, huh?
235
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,869
I'd like to have a talk with you
about my native land.
236
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,593
Of course.
237
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,032
Please.
238
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,350
The Cyprus settlement.
239
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,909
Historic, as you rightly say.
240
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,548
Just a few loose ends to tie up.
241
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,393
The exact nature of the sea boundaries.
242
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:51,793
Just a few fish? What if there were oil?
243
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,198
The seismic survey failed
to show up anything out of the ordinary.
244
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:00,352
I have better information. It's very exciting.
245
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,239
There is a rich concentration of oil,
246
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,868
but only in one particular area.
247
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,514
A company with which I'm associated
did some drillings in that part 30 years ago.
248
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:16,674
What we learned from that,
combined with the findings of this recent survey,
249
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,833
you see a very rare
and poignant business opportunity.
250
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,788
Interestingly enough,
it's on the disputed borderline.
251
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,272
So I'm in a position to help you
so you can help both our countries.
252
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,516
You are in a position, I believe,
to be able to help me and help yourself.
253
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,913
Go on.
254
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,073
There will be an arbitration panel
of five international judges.
255
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,312
The Turks nominated
a Malaysian and an Egyptian.
256
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,429
The Greeks nominated a Frenchman
and a Serb. Naturally, they'll split 50/50.
257
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,355
But the chairman with the casting vote
will be a British judge.
258
00:18:56,360 --> 00:18:58,351
Am I right?
259
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,034
You are remarkably well informed.
260
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,432
What can I say?
Knowledge is the name of the game.
261
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,154
If the oil fell into the Greek sector,
262
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,312
they'll give the drilling rights to the French,
263
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:16,270
but if it came into the Turkish sector,
all sorts of good things become possible.
264
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,513
For your country, for my country.
For me and for you.
265
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,839
Everybody needs a little nest egg.
266
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,639
I couldn't countenance any irregularity.
267
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,311
No, no. Of course not.
268
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,235
A judge must be absolutely incorruptible,
absolutely impartial.
269
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,718
But you can advise on the appointment
of the chairman of the panel.
270
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:44,069
The selection should be made
most carefully, I think.
271
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,310
It will be, Mr Nures.
272
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,712
The Urquhart Trust.
It sounds a very noble concept.
273
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,480
It is a very noble concept, Mr Nures.
274
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:01,029
- And one very close to my heart.
- It's your baby, am I right, Mrs Urquhart?
275
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,988
My husband is a little too busy
to attend to the details.
276
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,151
I think I understand.
277
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,834
English understatement. Crazy about it!
278
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,468
Mrs Urquhart, do you know Cyprus?
279
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,790
No, I've never been there.
280
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,270
A beautiful country, as your husband knows.
281
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,991
I remember it very well.
282
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,989
I'm expecting him now,
but we're going out quite soon.
283
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,196
- (FRONT DOOR OPENS)
- I'll certainly tell him. Hold on.
284
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,994
- Here he is.
- God, what a day!
285
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,071
Claire Carlsen.
286
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:56,879
Right.
287
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,359
Hello?
288
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,073
Oh, yes?
289
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,995
No, I'd better see it myself.
290
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,430
I'll come straight over.
291
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,631
- Sorry.
- Tom!
292
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,429
I'll be there. It won't take long. Another cock-up.
293
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,068
I'll meet you there. I won't be late.
294
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,708
Fine. Well, off you go, then!
295
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,075
(INTERCOM BUZZES)
296
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,031
Oh, your smell!
297
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,350
- Amazing!
- And yours!
298
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,075
I didn't think you'd come.
299
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,358
I was desperate to see you, be with you.
That malevolent old man!
300
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:44,555
I know. I know.
301
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,637
Come on.
302
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:53,749
How does he get away with it?
303
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,595
Because we let him think
he can do anything he likes.
304
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,548
He's got to go. If he won't go gently,
he'll have to be pushed.
305
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,188
You could do it. You should do it.
306
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,668
God, I want you so much!
307
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,240
Come on, then. Have me.
308
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,674
Claire Carlsen, member for Box Hill.
309
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,308
She's married to Bjorn Carlsen.
310
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,471
All that money.
311
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,108
A very ambitious girlie...woman.
312
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,271
Sorry. Woman.
313
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,432
Tom Makepeace is seeing to her bodily needs?
314
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,273
- They're at it like rabbits.
- Really?
315
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,472
Makes one feel exhausted to think about it.
316
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,631
I don't know.
317
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,874
I take very little interest professionally
or personally in politicians' private lives,
318
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,318
but several of your colleagues
are rather rum coves in that respect,
319
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,268
yourself not least,
if I may put it that way as an old friend?
320
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,239
Ah.
321
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,788
- Evening, Rayner. Evening, Wolfin.
- Evening, Sir Bruce.
322
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,835
Nasty eyes that man's got.
323
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,274
Still, "Sir Bruce". Can't take that away.
324
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,228
People say
there's not a lot of satisfaction in a knighthood,
325
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,868
but most of those people haven't got one.
326
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,510
- I bet you'd like one.
- I'd adore one. Absolute bliss.
327
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,188
"Sir Geoffrey Booza Pitt."
328
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:23,590
What a mouthful!
329
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,719
It won't happen, though.
Basically, I'm just a chorus boy.
330
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,348
Now, what do you want?
331
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,034
You want to go to the House of Lords.
332
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,194
I'd be very honoured to serve my country
in that capacity. Yes, I admit to that.
333
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:41,352
Bruce, you'll have to be much nicer to FU.
334
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,875
I'm extremely nice to him.
335
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,556
My leading articles are tremendously
warm and sympathetic to the chap.
336
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,157
But when 70% of the electorate
have had enough of him and say so,
337
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,392
the nation's leading newspaper can't ignore it.
338
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,757
Of course it's time for him to go.
Everyone knows it.
339
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:02,110
He knows it, doesn't he?
340
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,477
He thinks he's indestructible and perhaps he is.
341
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,671
No one is, Geoffrey.
342
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,954
Look at what happened to Margaret.
343
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,269
No one is indestructible.
344
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,799
No hold-ups ahead.
We should be back in London by nine, sir.
345
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,593
Make sure your seat belt's fastened, sir.
346
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,310
Tosser!
347
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,033
Yeah!
348
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,518
- Wanker!
- Let's have some fun!
349
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,273
John!
350
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,240
You wankers! Right, who wants some?
351
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,195
(GUNSHOT)
352
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,314
- You...
- Shut up!
353
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,755
- Shit! I thought he had a gun.
- They were all armed.
354
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,911
Self-defence.
355
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,594
I take it you are up for this?
356
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,795
- Yeah. Yeah, absolutely, guv.
- Right.
357
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,751
Oh, God!
358
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,831
Don't go yet.
359
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,798
I have to. I shouldn't be here at all.
360
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,597
Hilary's got a launch party for her new book.
361
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,955
I promised to be there.
362
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,591
Come on, then.
363
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,876
Get your knickers on.
364
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,669
You're missing
all those little sausages on sticks.
365
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,511
What is it?
366
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,671
I hate this flat.
367
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,639
Why?
368
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,189
Because it's a company flat?
369
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:37,351
Because it's his?
370
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,629
You don't like my husband
subsidising your sex life?
371
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,432
It's a safe house. It's...anonymous.
372
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,995
Like what we do here...
373
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,151
isn't real.
374
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,314
What we do here seems very real to me.
375
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,511
What are you saying?
376
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,272
- Are you saying you want to stop this?
- No!
377
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,431
Don't ever say that.
378
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,239
You know I'm desperate about you.
379
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,588
You'd better have a good scrub down
before you clock on.

"Horizon" next, but now overto Sonia Stevens in the BBC newsroom.
381
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,670
Reports are coming inof a shooting incident on the M14,
382
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,839
described as an assassination attempton the Prime Minister.
383

Tom!
384
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,598
Mr Urquhart's car was rammedand forced off the road.
385
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:16,039
Mr Urquhart sustained head injuries,but his life is not, repeat not, in danger.
386
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,474
As soon as we have any more news,we'll let you know.
387
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,756
I'd better go up there.
388
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,076
Not from here. Go home.
389
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,999
- People will be phoning you.
- Yes.

(VOICE ECHOES) Mr Urquhart!
392
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,508
Mr Urquhart, welcome back.
393
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,868
You're in hospital. You're OK.
394
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,551
You're doing fine.
395
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,828
I'm very glad to hear that.
396
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,710
Oh, yes. I remember now.
397
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,071
Thank you very much.
398
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,518
- I think this could be it, John.
- Shit! Shit, shit, shit!
399
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,148
It's too bloody soon. We're not ready.
400
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,710
- Hello. Heard the news. Shocking!
- No comment.
401
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,871
No comment?
402
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,110
I'm sorry. Sir Bruce.
403
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,748
I'm too upset to focus properly.
404
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,434
Deeply shocked. Gravely concerned.
405
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:04,071
This kind of lawless behaviour,
happy to see it promptly dealt with.
406
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:09,314
Our thoughts are with Francis Urquhart tonight,
praying for his speedy recovery.
407
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,712
Yes, I'm sure they are.
After all, you're not ready yet, are you?
408
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,828
(BARRAGE OF QUESTIONS)
409
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,951
I was doing my duty.
410
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,395
I was carrying out orders.
411
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,028
I have absolutely no misgivings.
412
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,191
Nor did I have then.
413
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,839
Francis?
414
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,514
They were terrorists. Simple as that.
415
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,796
The men in the van?
416
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,991
What van?
417
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,155
- On the motorway.
- I had to shoot them.
418
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,628
There was an olive tree there.
419
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,828
I remember the olive tree burning.
420
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,988
Francis, I think you should rest.
421
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,070
You're not really making much sense, to be frank.
422
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,154
It all seems perfectly clear to me.
423
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,754
Cyprus is back on the map.
424
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,068
Cyprus is back on the agenda.
425
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,590
We're going to make a little history, Elizabeth.
426
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,830
Yes, my dear, we are.
427
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,795
I think I will rest now.
428
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,631
It was awfully good of you to come, Elizabeth.
429
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,675
Mrs Urquhart, a man outside
says he's Sir Henry Ponsonby.
430
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,833
He's probably telling the truth.
Does he want to see my husband?
431
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,152
I told him it's only the immediate family,
but he wasn't happy.
432
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,788
He says he's the Cabinet Secretary.
433
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,198
He seems to think it gives him special rights.
434
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,789
I'll have a word with him.
435
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,390
And, Nurse, my husband seems a little confused.
436
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,712
It's important that he speaks to no one
until he's more himself.
437
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,633
I'll make sure he's not disturbed.
438
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,119
Thank you.
439
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,312
Elizabeth!
440
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,994
I came as soon as I could. How is he?
441
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:34,631
They say he's doing very well.
Not up to seeing you, though, I'm afraid.
442
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,556
What happened, Henry?
443
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,748
I was on my way to the country
when I got the call. I've heard nothing yet.
444
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,754
I say! I wonder if you'd mind
waiting outside for a moment?
445
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,911
Yes, I would.
446
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,275
Oh. Shall we?
447
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,556
National Health Service hospital, of course.
448
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,068
Extraordinary places, aren't they?
449
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,711
I've heard that a National Health
teaching hospital is the only place to be
450
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,348
if you've got something wrong with you.
451
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,909
Really? I must remember that.
452
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,229
About this motorway thing...
453
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,719
Yes.
454
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,279
Well...
455
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,275
It's not at all clear, but it does seem possible
that it was a bit of a nonsense.
456
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,115
Security a little over-zealous
in reading the rubric.
457
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,556
You mean they shot three innocent motorists?
458
00:34:35,720 --> 00:34:38,188
Innocent's a tricky adjective, I find.
459
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,832
Apparently these chaps weren't model citizens.
460
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,950
Anyway, I gather
Commander Corder has matters in hand.
461
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,112
- He's handling the internal investigation.
- Good.
462
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,077
Yes, quite.
463
00:34:53,720 --> 00:34:56,188
Always distasteful, these things.
464
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,200
He's going to be all right, then? Francis?
465
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,476
Oh, yes, they say so.
466
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,631
I'm glad to hear it.
467
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,791
Tricky times.
468
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,991
Look, Henry...
469
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,754
This may seem brutally practical,
470
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,710
but I've been thinking about what we'd do
if something happened to Francis.
471
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,790
Or if something didn't.
472
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,428
Death or retirement, in short.
473
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,071
What do you mean?
474
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:34,518
Well...a prime minister's salary
is laughably small.
475
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,912
And a prime minister's pension
must be practically negligible.
476
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,470
And yet one notices that ex-prime ministers...
477
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,390
How shall I put it?
478
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,396
..aren't actually short of the odd few million.
479
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,316
Would it be naive of me to ask how this happens?
480
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,995
It can't all come
from writing one's memoirs, can it?
481
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,151
Hardly that.
482
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,237
It is assumed that the incumbent PM
will make his own arrangements
483
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,868
for a comfortable retirement.
484
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,875
The Prime Minister is usually in a unique position
to make such arrangements.
485
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:16,272
Sometimes the PM may prefer
to leave some of these arrangements
486
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,948
to members of his or her family.
487
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,350
I thought that was it.
488
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,557
Well, do let me know if I can be of any help.
489
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,599
Thanks.
490
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,588
I am chairing this cabinet meeting
491
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,230
purely as Foreign Secretary
and Deputy Prime Minister.
492
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,870
The Prime Minister
is making a complete recovery.
493
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:57,113
I'm sure we'd like to minute our good wishes
for his speedy return.
494
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:02,354
And may I just say that none of us could think
of a better man to take his place?
495
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,675
Temporarily, of course.
496
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,310
Do we have more information
on the shooting incident?
497
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,950
I've had an informal report
from Commander Corder.
498
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,477
The men were criminals and armed,
but it wasn't a terrorist attack.
499
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,156
Road rage, apparently.
The bastards got more than they bargained for.
500
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,029
Commander Corder should be
the subject of any investigation.
501
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,794
It's clear there should be a full inquiry.
502
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,598
Absolutely.
503
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,268
But I've just told you what it'll say.
504
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,954
I know the PM will say the same.
505
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,714
Do you? Thank you, Home Secretary.
506
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,150
Next business.
507
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,112
Ponsonby and Makepeace and no one else?
508
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,909
- No one else.
- Not even little Geoffrey Booza Pitt?
509
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,789
No one. We did say
you weren't able to receive visitors.
510
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,669
Nevertheless, they should have come.
Mark of respect.
511
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,513
I have perceived a faint neglect of late.
512
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,638
No matter. Heads will roll.
513
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,790
That bloody little Private Secretary of mine
for a start.
514
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,475
I'll get myself someone with a little bit of spark.
515
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,438
- I see you're feeling better.
- Yes, I am.
516
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,068
Did I give you cause for concern?
517
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:19,913
You did. An intimation of mortality.
518
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,789
- I was talking about Cyprus, wasn't I?
- Yes, you were.
519
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,428
Francis, I think Mr Nures is right.
520
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:31,594
We have a wonderful opportunity to do something
for ourselves and our country.
521
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,390
We should do business with Mr Nures.
He'll be a wonderful, necessary man.
522
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,358
- Yes, we'll see.
- (KNOCK AT DOOR)
523
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,911
- Are you ready, Mr Urquhart?
- Indeed I am. Wheel that thing away!
524
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,308
- Are you sure?
- Absolutely.
525
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,950
Thank you very much.
You've been most kind. Elizabeth!
526
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,439
Goodbye.
527
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,154
Doctor, thank you so much. Thank you.
528
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,154
I'm not going to risk
being photographed in a wheelchair.
529
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,348
(CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK)
530
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,312
- What the hell is this, Barry?
- Age Concern.
531
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,948
We thought it was rather a cute idea.
532
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,948
They brought you a birthday card, sir.
533
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,634
I'm not terribly interested in birthdays.
534
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,439
Very kind, but I have a lot of work to do.
535
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,592
Many happy returns, Prime Minister,
536
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,150
on the occasion of your 65th birthday tomorrow.
537
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,709
Welcome from all of us
538
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,189
to the third age!
539
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,351
Yes, thank you.
540
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,115
# Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
541
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,554
# Happy birthday, Prime Minister
542
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,070
# Happy birthday to you #
543
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,032
Thank you very much. I really am most touched.
544
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,311
Smile, please!
545
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,512
So you thought that was a cute idea, Barry?
546
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,877
Well, it came from one of the girls in the office.
547
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,235
Not from the opposition?
548
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,870
You have become a liability!
Have you seen the papers?
549
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,508
Lots of good coverage, your birthday...
550
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,672
"Our pensioner Prime Minister. Time to FO, FU."
551
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,192
And three profiles of Tom Makepeace,
"the man most likely to succeed".
552
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,352
- That's good coverage?
- Don't be oversensitive.
553
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:31,036
- It's good-humoured stuff, I'd say.
- Would you indeed? Would you indeed?
554
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,468
I can't work bloody miracles.
555
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,753
And in his feeble way, the man is right.
556
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,388
He can't work bloody miracles.
557
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,994
Nor can I turn the clock back
558
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,628
or halt time or undo what is done.
559
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,155
But I can bloody well go on.
560
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:59,791
As long as I have strength and will,
I can do everything I need to do.
561
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:02,269
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
562
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,908
- Come in, Geoffrey.
- Is this all right?
563
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,278
FU? They said you were asking for me.
564
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,908
Yes, of course it's all right, Geoffrey.
565
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,999
- How's your poor head?
- Apparently I'm mending very well.
566
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,469
It's rather painful. Pain is tiring.
567
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,192
At least it hasn't spoiled your good looks.
568
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:25,109
A small scar on the temple
can be quite distinguished.
569
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,468
Makepeace chaired the cabinet, did he?
570
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,114
- What was he like?
- Very statesmanlike and responsible.
571
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,790
I tried to tempt him into a little aria,
but it was no go.
572
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,952
Everyone came on
like Little Goody Two-Shoes.
573
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,238
They kept saying,
"I'm sure that's what HE would have wanted."
574
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,871
It's funny how what you would have wanted
is exactly what THEY want.
575
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,909
They have no idea what I want
576
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,230
or what I can still do.
577
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,750
I'm appointing
a new Parliamentary Private Secretary.
578
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,911
Excellent idea.
579
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:09,551
Barry Crumb has been neither use
nor ornament for quite some time.
580
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:12,188
God knows where he gets his hair done!
581
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,111
I have a thought or two if you haven't decided.
582
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,311
You have? Good.
583
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,948
It's your birthday party tomorrow.
584
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,910
I don't anticipate it with any enthusiasm.
It's another reminder of increasing age.
585
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,111
Bollocks to that!
586
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,397
A man is as young as he feels and you know it.
587
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,671
You can still see any of them off.
Look at the fear in their eyes!
588
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,310
You're still the biggest swinging dick
in Westminster, FU.
589
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,114
If one's allowed to put it that way.
590
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,830
- General and Mrs Baum.
- General, nice to see you.
591
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,468
Like the sodding Sun King, Wolf!
592
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,154
I wonder how long he thinks he's got.
593
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,709
The longer the better for us.
594
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,394
Let Makepeace flower and fade a bit.
595
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,637
- Evening, Tom.
- Hello there. How are you?
596
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,829
What a limp prick that man is!
597
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,713
Hello, Sarah. I was hoping you'd be here.
598
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,513
- I hate this dressing up.
- Ghastly!
599
00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:35,029
Yes, well, absolutely.
600
00:43:35,720 --> 00:43:39,190
- Good evening, sir. How are you?
- Very much better.
601
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,830
- Mr Nures, how nice to see you.
- Excuse me, please.
602
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,514
Good of you to visit. You must be busy.
603
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,194
- For you, I'd drop everything.
- Really?
604
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:54,233
A very glittering occasion. Very nice.
And you, Mrs Urquhart, drop-dead gorgeous.
605
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,709
Thank you very much.
606
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,714
Isn't that Sir Clive Watling,
the Border Arbitration Chairman,
607
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,348
on whom so many of our hopes depend?
608
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,193
- I believe it is.
- I'd like to meet him.
609
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,592
I don't think that's a good idea.
I want to keep you all for myself.
610
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,752
Sir Clive, I've wanted to meet you for so long.
611
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,434
The best international jurist in Europe!
612
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,070
I hear it everywhere.
You must be very much in demand.
613
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,989
I am pretty busy at the moment.
614
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,631
And now this Cyprus business.
Let's go over there. Come along, Henry.
615
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,831
I'm delighted that a British judge
has been chosen to chair the panel.
616
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,468
Are you quite happy with everything?
617
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,154
Such as your fellow judges on the panel?
618
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,835
Broadly speaking.
Saladier will be difficult, no doubt.
619
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,515
- He always is.
- Be as rough as you like with Saladier.
620
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,353
We'd have no problem with that.
621
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,671
We're not too keen on the French at the moment.
622
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,717
I see.
623
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,394
This is an exceptionally prestigious task.
624
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:03,156
Whoever does this and gets it right
goes straight into the history books
625
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,312
with a peerage and the usual box of tricks.
626
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,950
- Mr Urquhart...
- You're not interested in baubles.
627
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:14,989
Nor am I. But in this case,
you may just have to submit with a good grace.
628
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,079
You spoke of...getting it right.
629
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,028
You do understand the limits?
630
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,716
A distinction exists between
international politics and international law.
631
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:33,079
Of course, which you will negotiate
with your unrivalled acumen and wisdom.
632
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:37,990
These sea boundaries
may prove to be absolutely crucial.
633
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,511
Yes. I see.
634
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,031
Well, that all seems quite excellent to me.
635
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,148
Let's join the party, shall we?
636
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,030
You approve our choice?
637
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,430
Utterly incorruptible,
638
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,750
absolutely impartial.
639
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:03,913
He just can't stand Frenchmen,
and who can blame him for that?

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
641
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,951
Ravishing, yeah?
642
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,151
He's never here.
643
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,312
You know her, don't you? Of course you do.
644
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,473
She used to help out
with your research in foreign affairs.
645
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,837
- Is that her husband?
- Yes, I think it is.
646
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,195
Bjorn Carlsen.
647
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:34,311
Someone told me that man's worth 200 million.
Can that be right?
648
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:39,476
He's got all that money and can't
keep his wife on the straight and narrow.
649
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,108
Have you heard anything about that?
650
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,430
No. No, I haven't.
651
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,797
Shags like a rattlesnake - that's what I heard.
652
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,430
Ambitious with it too. Mind you, I could be wrong.
653
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,670
Excuse me, Geoffrey.
654
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,230
1900, right. That one...
655
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,355
It's very different with me.
656
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,948
Would you excuse me just for a moment?
I'll be right back.
657
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,352
- Sarah, how lovely to see you.
- And you.
658
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,751
- How are the girls?
- Quite young ladies now.
659
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,911
Be in touch.
660
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,355
- Prime Minister.
- Mrs Carlsen.
661
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,909
It's lovely of you to invite us.
662
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:29,551
We're pleased that you could both come.
Your husband must be very busy.
663
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:31,790
Yes, he is.
664
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:37,317
Has Geoffrey Booza Pitt said anything to you
about me, Mr Urquhart?
665
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:41,871
He mentions you from time to time.
I can't recall anything specific.
666
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:46,113
He thinks very highly of you,
as does everyone else, it seems.
667
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,159
I understand you might be looking
for a new PPS quite soon.
668
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:51,639
Yes.
669
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:53,719
And?
670
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:58,396
I'm sure this isn't the form,
but I'd like you to consider me for the job.
671
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,836
I'd love to do it and I think I'd do it very well.
672
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,871
Well, Mrs Carlsen, it's very kind of you
to make yourself available.
673
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,508
Will you let me think about this?
674
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,148
I don't have to decide straightaway.
675
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,754
I'm sorry. It's very cheeky of me.
676
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:19,351
Indeed it is,
but you've done yourself no harm by it.
677
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,108
You'll have to excuse me now.
678
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,271
Yes, of course.
679
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,240
