1
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,910
(WOMAN) Tell me it isn't true.
2
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,950
Tell me it isn't true.
3
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,150
I love you, Daddy.
4
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:19,958
DaddyI
5
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,275
(GUNSHOTS)
6
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,079
Aaaagh!
7
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,719
Francis!
8
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,711
What is it?
9
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,559
I-I-I...I had a bad dream.
10
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,870
I didn't call out, did I?
11
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,032
It sounded as if you were in fear of your life.
12
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,713
It's all right, Corder. It was just a dream.
13
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,431
Just a dream?
14
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,951
All right. Fine.
15
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,795
I'll leave you to it, then.
16
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,674
A lot of fuss about nothing!
17
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,070
Time to get started, anyway.
18
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,473
Francis, why don't you stay down here
at Chequers for the morning?
19
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:35,154
Why? Far more interesting things to do.
20
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,788
Complete my reshuffle, for a start.
21
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,069
I'm making Geoffrey Booza Pitt
my Foreign Secretary.
22
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,596
- Little Geoffrey? Is that wise?
- Yes. Why not?
23
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,752
Capstick's too dithery, Bullock's too dense.
24
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:52,310
Rayner would like it,
but he's too much of a thug.
25
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,837
He might as well have "I hate foreigners"
tattooed on his forehead.
26
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,676
Geoffrey has brains and Geoffrey
will do what I tell him. He's one of us.
27
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:07,791
And best of all, it's humiliating for Makepeace -
28
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,959
deposed from high office,
the ritual clearing of the desk.
29
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,319
Too many knick-knacks for the briefcase,
so a typist lends a Tesco's carrier bag.
30
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,632
In go the family photos.
The underlings avert their gaze.
31
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,075
A couple of awkward handshakes,
32
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,437
then the ignominious exit
by the tradesman's gate.
33
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:33,555
And in the morning,waking to the knowledge that it's true, all true.
34
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,550
No more red boxes, no more urgent calls.
35
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,235
No one wants your opinionabout anything any more.
36
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,154
No interviews, no photographs,no ministerial car.
37
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,157
I could find it in my heart to pity the man
38
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,271
if he weren't such a canting,
high-minded, sanctimonious hypocrite.
39
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,908
He deserves everything he gets.
40
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,474
Where did you say you were going
so early in the morning?
41
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,232
Don't stop.
42
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,789
I said I was going to the gym.
43
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,155
Fair enough, I suppose.
44
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,834
Come on, then. Work that body!
45
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,032
- What?
- Don't be flippant, Claire. Please.
46
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,908
You're very sensitive this morning.
47
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,275
I still love you, you know.
48
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,035
Even though you're not
Foreign Secretary any more,
49
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,636
you still give a girl
a hell of a good time in bed.
50
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,110
Oh, Tom, there's no need to look quite so tragic.
51
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,959
Tom?
52
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,439
Tom!
53
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,751
This is silly.
54
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,912
I know. It's not your fault, it's my fault.
55
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,674
The thing is...I've decided we've got to stop.
56
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,873
It's him.
57
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,508
- Francis?
- Yes, Francis.
58
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,715
You're not jealous of him?
59
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,348
I don't do anything with Francis.
60
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,511
You're his PPS!
61
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,399
Oh, Tom, we've been through all this.
62
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,114
I've told you. It's not a problem for me.
63
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:51,795
I'm all for you.
Being his PPS is just a means to an end.
64
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,428
I told you I'd take his job!
65
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,154
I know. I can help you do that.
66
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,392
- I can't work like that.
- Oh, brilliant (!)
67
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,388
If I fight Francis Urquhart,
it has to be a straight fight.
68
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,028
I have to be seen to be straight.
69
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,714
- Family values?
- Yes, if you like.
70
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,194
So you're chucking me, are you?
71
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,432
- Believe me...
- But you wanted one for the road!
72
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,071
Claire, please...
73
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,231
I think...
74
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:29,071
This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
75
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,754
I've never known anything like...
76
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,911
..what we've had.
77
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:38,070
I've hurt you, haven't I?
78
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,596
It should have been me
who said when it was over.
79
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,997
Sorry.
80
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,151
Better now.
81
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,834
You're absolutely right, of course.
82
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,711
There isn't a perfect way to do these things.
83
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,759
I do understand
you'll have to distance yourself for a while.
84
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,990
Politically as well.
85
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,510
But I want you to know I'm still here
for you...when you need me.
86
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,471
In every way.
87
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,109
You're a wonderful woman.
88
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,793
I know.
89
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,955
What a waste, eh?
90
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,108
All set, Francis?
It won't be just a farewell performance.
91
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,669
I never imagined it would be.
92
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,356
These resignation statements
so often turn into squalid recriminations.
93
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,717
So bad for the reputation of politics,
don't you feel?
94
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,668
I think you should take it seriously.
He's out to get you.
95
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,354
Well, let's see what he can do, shall we?
96
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,708
I am proud to have served this country
97
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,873
as Secretary of State
for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs.
98
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,508
And I'm proud of what I've achieved,
99
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,797
most recently the historic Cyprus settlement.
100
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,797
But Cyprus has been one achievement
amongst many lost opportunities.
101
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,869
I can no longer refrain from speaking out
against an attitude to foreign policy
102
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,034
which has made civilised nations of the world
see Britain as the yob of Europe.
103
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,795
And I can no longer support
a British prime minister
104
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,556
whose idea of diplomacy is to demand
that everyone else speaks English.
105
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,712
Is this not the politics of the football hooligan?
106
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,237
Surely Britain has more to offer Europe
than a two-fingered salute.
107
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,996
Yes, of course it has, but not,
I fear, under its present leadership.
108
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,552
This became very clear to me
when I read who my successor was to be.
109
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,716
In future, Britain's interests
are to be defended in the international arena
110
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,871
by a kind of...
111
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,511
How shall I put this?
112
00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:54,910
A kind of glove puppet.
113
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,672
(LAUGHTER)
114
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,516
A cuddly creature who'll use his master's voice
because he has none of his own!
115
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:03,875
- Order!
- Sooty!
116
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,519
It's Sooty!
117
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:07,910
Let's hear it from Sooty!
118
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,799
- (LAUGHTER)
- Order! Order!
119
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,399
Order!
120
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:18,074
Let me remind the House that personal
statements are listened to in silence.
121
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,109
Thank you. Mr Tom Makepeace.
122
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,271
Madam Speaker.
123
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,913
It has become clear to me,
as it has to many in this House
124
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,755
and throughout the country,
that all is not well in Britain.
125
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,428
I became a Member of Parliament
126
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,116
because I wanted to uphold those traditions
which made England great.
127
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:44,149
I wanted to serve my country,
not lay waste to it in the name of asset-stripping.
128
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:49,474
I'm sure that only a change of leadership
will put us back on the right track.
129
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:52,433
- Join the opposition!
- Hear, hear!
130
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,993
Order!
131
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,391
A number of my colleagues have approached me
132
00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:02,031
and asked if I would offer myself
as a candidate for party leadership.
133
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,590
I have decided that I must accept the challenge.
134
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,548
Until that matter is resolved,
I find myself so much at odds
135
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,599
with what is being done
in the name of my party and my country
136
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,390
that I can no longer in conscience
take my seat on the government benches.
137
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,391
Excuse me.
138
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,431
Prime Minister!
139
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,956
I'm grateful for this opportunity
to thank the Right Honourable Gentleman
140
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,588
for his loyal service over the years.
141
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,753
On these occasions,
a certain amount of petulance is expected...
142
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,959
..and forgiven, and indeed forgotten.
143
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,272
May I assure the Right Honourable Gentleman
144
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,910
that he has my very best wishes
for his future career,
145
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,275
whatever that may be?
146
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,628
Just right, FU. Made him look very silly.
147
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,950
All the same, FU,
you need to take this very seriously.
148
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,998
- Yes. Thank you, Geoffrey. Later.
- Yes.
149
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,074
Come on in, Claire.
150
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,557
Well, now, and what are we to make of that?
151
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,471
I did warn you.
152
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,154
I didn't know he'd cross the House!
153
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,709
A piece of histrionic buffoonery!
154
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,314
It won't be reported that way.
155
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,994
It won't be the last we've heard of Sooty!
156
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,869
You should have savaged him
and humiliated him publicly!
157
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,072
I didn't want to dignify him with my anger.
158
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,708
You have a lot to learn, Claire.
159
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,475
The worst humiliation is not to be taken seriously.
160
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,111
One doesn't froth at the mouth
when dismissing the jobbing gardener.
161
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,999
Yes, but people read it as weakness.
162
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,954
- You didn't, did you?
- Of course not, but I think he did.
163
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,989
Didn't you see his face? You let him think
he'd won. That makes me furious!
164
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,637
As well as being tactically risky in my view.
165
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,312
Other people might have read it as weakness
166
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,756
and Tom Makepeace
has more support than you think!
167
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,431
But not from you?
168
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,591
Not any more.
169
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,149
He's chucked you, hasn't he?
170
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,794
Other way round, as a matter of fact.
171
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,911
What a shame!
172
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,993
Well, I'll hurt him for you, Claire,
before this game is over, and that's a promise.
173
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:10,159
Thank you.
174

(FRONT DOOR CLOSES)
175
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,031
- Hi!
- Hello!
176
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,152
Saw you on the news. Very good, I thought.
177
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,835
- Thank you.
- You're really going for it this time.
178
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,992
He's left me no option. No, it's more than that.
179
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,357
I really want it now and I know I'm ready for it.
180
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,308
Good for you. I hope you wipe the floor
with the old bastard.
181
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,472
I think you'll make a brilliant prime minister.
182
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,598
- Really?
- Yes. Really.
183
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,632
I thought we might go out for dinner tonight.
184
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,076
Lovely, except I've got a dinner date. Sorry.
185
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,629
John Collins, my new editor.
186
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,155
- Oh, fine.
- He's only 35.
187
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,308
He thinks my work is wonderful.
188
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,994
Well, I think your work's wonderful.
189
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,671
What is it, Tom?
190
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,319
Nothing.
191
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,428
Just wanted to talk. You know...
192
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,668
What did you want to talk about?
193
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,959
Well, you know... Everything, really.
194
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,071
Going for the leadership,
you and me, where we're headed.
195
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,429
I think it would be good
to get things straightened out.
196
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,551
Well, you know.
197
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,835
You've broken up with Claire Carlsen,
haven't you?
198
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,308
Well, yes, I have, as a matter of fact.
199
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,471
Was it rough?
200
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,510
It wasn't easy.
201
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,870
What I feel now is a strong sense of relief
that I've done the right thing.
202
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,031
Oh. Jolly good.
203
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,188
I only hope she feels the same.
204
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,955
Tom, hasn't it occurred to you
that you might have left all this a bit too late?
205
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,354
I'm sorry it's such disappointing news.
206
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,834
Your uncles' death
involved certain security elements
207
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,470
and the information
is subject to the 50 years' ban.
208
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,792
The truth is known,
but my father can't be told and neither can I?
209
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,235
I understand how you feel.
210
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,632
I'm just the bearer of the message.
It's just one of those things.
211
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,590
No, when I spoke to Mr Urquhart,
he seemed very keen to talk about Cyprus.
212
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,239
Really?
213
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,911
Then I mentioned the village, Spilia,
below the mountains of Troodos.
214
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,516
I could tell he knew it,
but he didn't want to talk about it.
215
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,148
I'm just doing this for my father.
216
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,836
We just want to locate my uncles' graves
and give them a proper memorial.
217
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,468
I don't understand what the mystery is.
218
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,838
I'm sorry, but I'm not in a position
to give you more information.
219
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,479
I see.
220
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,315
Thanks for your time.
221
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,991
Wait a minute.
222
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,071
Try this number.
223
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,231
Tom Makepeace.
224
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,558
I think you'll find you'll get some help.
225
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,428
What's the line on Tom Makepeace?
226
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,955
He's digging his own grave.
227
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,910
Hm. We don't think so. We think
he might be just what the doctor ordered.
228
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,197
We shall be saying so in tomorrow's paper.
229
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,557
This country is crying out for change.
230
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,834
And I don't care who hears me say that.
231
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,277
Oh, Lord!
232
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,759
Ah!
233
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,591
Claire, excellent.
234
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,196
Miss Passolides, I am so sorry,
but rules are rules.
235
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,868
We'll have another chat one day soon.
236
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,271
I did enjoy meeting you so much. Excuse me now.
237

(SPEAKS IN GREEK)
238
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,592
- I've got to go now. I'll be in touch.
- Thank you.
239
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,792
Bruce! How very good to see you!
240
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,194
I had a feeling
that this is where the action would be.
241
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,551
- Prime Minister, you're looking well.
- So are you.
242
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,150
Sir Bruce was just extolling the virtues
of Tom Makepeace.
243
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,759
Well...
244
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,191
Was he? Well, he's quite right,
a very talented chap,
245
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:51,828
but so self-destructive - such a shame!
246
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,959
They do say he falls in love
every time he passes a mirror.
247
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,469
What do you think, Claire?
248
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,633
I think the feeling on the back benches
is that he lacks substance.
249
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,314
He doesn't really believe in himself.
250
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,672
Well, if that's the woman's angle,
you have nothing to fear, FU.
251
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,832
I must get on. Been grand to see you, Bruce.
252
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,749
We need more chaps of your calibre
in the Upper House.
253
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,071
(URQUHART) After the smiles,
254
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,390
after the handshakes,
255
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,712
after the arms round shouldersand the merry, hollow laughter,
256
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,269
after the conditional promise
257
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,908
and the purchased friendship,
258
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,594
after the elusive, dangling reward,
259
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,751
the nagging threat.
260
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,391
After all that,
261
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,949
the calculation of the odds,
262
00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:44,588
the sifting of the probabilities.
263
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,751
And then the fear.
264
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:53,876
Fear in the smell of damp newsprintand the crackle of the radio.
265
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,753
Fear that this might be the day we wake
266
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,718
to find the magic gone.

Whatever happened to gratitude?

And fight and win another election.

I say, this is a bit of all right, isn't it?

It's quiet. We won't be disturbed.

We use it to put up executives

Just right if you fancied
a quick er...cuppa, put your feet up.

Quite. It's good for work too.

Right, shall we go through the names
in alphabetical order?
294

about ten minutes.

But I'm all yours for ten minutes.
So how can I help you?
306
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,353
I think Francis Urquhart
might have murdered my uncles.
307
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:12,793
It's all right, really. I'm not mad.
308
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,633
I might be mistaken, but I'm not deluded.
309
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,310
That looks safe enough.
Somewhere between a 50- and 60-vote majority.

- If everybody told the truth.

It's not as wide a margin as I'd thought.
312
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,994
The thing is, Francis has roughed up
quite a lot of chaps in the last ten years.
313
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,869
Quite a lot of sore botties
on the government benches.
314
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,510
It's not that they think
Makepeace is so wonderful.
315
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,674
More that they want to say "Yah, boo, sucks"
to the boss! In a secret ballot.
316
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,551
- You don't think he could lose?
- No, impossible.
317
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,595
I'm not one
of Francis Urquhart's greatest admirers,
318
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,228
but I can't quite see him as a murderer.
319
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,791
I'm not saying you're fantasising,
but there may be another explanation.
320
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,519
But you believe me
that he wants to conceal something?
321
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,549
He's suppressing evidence and
for what other reason than it's damaging to him?

I wish you'd come to see me sooner.

As Foreign Secretary,
I had access to any documents I wanted to see.
324
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,638
But I can raise this question in the House.
There's a broader issue.
325
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:41,198
There must be people who have lost relatives
and still don't know the truth.
326
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:44,830
- Yes, there are.
- We talk about open government.
327
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,754
Has there been any public discussion
of this issue?

A little in the Greek Cypriot papers,
and we hope to go on local radio.

on national radio and TV. Why not?

Right. Claire Carlsen said
she thought you'd be keen.

Well, I'll have to try not to disappoint you.

00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,514
123 are almost certainly against me.
339
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,513
How dare they! They owe me everything.
340
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,309
Half of them wouldn't even have jobs,
let alone seats.
341
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:45,270
As if I hadn't won three elections in a row
and kept their noses in the gravy!
342
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,189
And these lumps of lobby fodder
dare to vote against me?
343
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,709
Not enough of them to damage you.
344
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,229
No, not yet.
345
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,518
They'll break.
Makepeace will break if you stand firm.
346
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,072
They want strong leadership,
the smack of firm government.
347
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,875
And they resent that in themselves,
that weakness.
348
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,511
They're big strong men.
Why should they still be frightened of Daddy?
349
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,513
They are, Francis. They are!
350
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,069
I know. Makepeace too.
351
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,356
In his heart of hearts, he knows
you're twice the man he is or ever will be!
352
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:27,588
He's frightened of Daddy too.
353
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,278
I owe so much to you, my darling.
354
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,279
Time to meet the baying hordes.
355
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,272
Lofty indifference of the world statesman?
356
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,070
I think so. Let others play politics
while you make history.
357
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,348
(BARRAGE OF QUESTIONS)
358
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,511
I am happy to announce
359
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,071
that the last obstacle to permanent peace
in Cyprus has been cleared away.
360
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,956
The disputed sea boundaries
have been agreed by a panel of judges,
361
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:11,588
chaired by our own Sir Clive Watling.
362
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,836
Next week, the Greek and Turkish presidents
of Cyprus will sign the treaty
363
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,794
at a special European summit
here in Great Britain.
364
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,958
We've done itI We are home and dryI
365
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,436
What about the leadership challenge,Mr Urquhart?
366
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,633
Far more important things to think aboutthan petty politics.
367
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,268
I've got a job to do and I intend to do it.
368
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,228
These are great days.We are redrawing the map of Europe.
369
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,518
And Britain is showing the wayIThank you all very much indeed.
370
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,189
(TV OFF)
371
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:50,353
- He's such an old bastard.
- Clever old bastard, though!
372
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,433
It's going to take something very special
to break him.
373
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,995
I think I might just have it.
374
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,357
Do you?
375
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,988
Such a grimy business, politics, isn't it?
376
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,832
- (DOORBELL)
- That'll be John.
377
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,152
We're going to the Everyman.
Do you remember the "Gorky Trilogy"?
378
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,357
- Yes, I do.
- Those were the days, eh?
379
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,875
Don't wait up.
380
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,433
The Greek and Turkish Cypriotpresidents shake hands at last
381
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,592
at this special European summit meeting.
382
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,228
Apart from the signing of the treaty,
383
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,870
there's no formal agendato this exclusive gathering.
384
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,158
It's an opportunityfor some of the key international players
385
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,596
to share their thinking on an informal basis.
386
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,150
President Arteau of Francejoking with Francis Urquhart.
387
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:56,193
Not much sign of international tension.
388
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,030
Tedious but necessary.
389
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,193
In fact, Arteau and I dislike each other
and each other's politics,
390
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:06,830
but we have to be there,
to be seen strutting about.
391
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,468
All the world's a photo opportunity.
392
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,632
There's Nicolaou, the Greek Cypriot President.
393
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,268
Nice chap, but out of his depth here.
394
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,431
- Mr Nicolaou!
- Mr Urquhart!
395
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,309
Very happy day. I'm very happy.
You must be very happy.
396
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:26,679
I'm very happy we have this agreement,
but I think we gave away a little bit too much.
397
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,115
Some of my people aren't happy.
398
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,748
The Turks are saying the same thing.
399
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,913
I think you've both been understanding
of each other's views.
400
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,959
Yes, but it's very important
that nothing should go wrong.
401
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,591
I've had to overcome so much bad feeling
about the Turks, the British,
402
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:49,470
about your bases, the way your soldiers
conduct themselves in our country.
403
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,590
Some of my people feel very sore
about these things.
404
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,151
I understand. We are very keen
to do all we can to defuse any tension.
405
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,313
So why is a British-Turkish consortium
test-drilling for oil again?
406
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,632
Are they? I understand
there's very little hope of finding any.
407
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:12,033
But if they were to find oil now
in the disputed area, in the Watling waters,
408
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,193
it would make the situation very difficult
for me especially.
409
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,716
I'm quite sure there's no cause for concern, but...
410
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,314
Let's walk over here a moment.
411
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,910
Some things are better said in private,
man to man.
412
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,231
We're not about to let you down, Mr Nicolaou.
413
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,790
Britain is backing this agreement up to the hilt,
414
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,474
including military support if necessary.
415
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,556
You have my personal word of honour on that.
416
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,712
Thank you, Mr Urquhart. You're a good man.
417
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,794
I'm a plain man, Mr Nicolaou.
418
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,794
I like to think that I'm an honest man.
I keep my promises.
419
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,876
Mrs Urquhart! Vision of loveliness as usual.
420
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,756
You know you're driving me crazy.
What can I say?
421
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,914
Don't say anything else along that line.
I'm not sure we should be seen together.
422
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:22,835
- You're worried about your reputation?
- You know what I'm worried about.
423
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,356
- I'm not sure you should be here at all.
- Couldn't resist.
424
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,798
These people don't know anything
about our business connection.
425
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,670
They probably think I'm just under your spell -
bewitched and bewildered.
426
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,070
And maybe they're right.
427
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,631
Preliminary drillings
confirm our earlier hypothesis completely.
428
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,271
There is a geological fault
which has tilted the geology of the sea bed.
429
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,434
All the oil is concentrated in one area.
430
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,956
A big puddle of it...under Watling water.
431
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,268
"Puddle" doesn't sound awfully big.
432
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,908
We calculate at least a billion barrels.
433
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,594
I'm not frightfully up on the price of oil.
434
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,116
Say 20 dollars a barrel, cost of extraction 5.
435
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,272
So in round terms, 15 billion dollars.
436
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,676
Your consultancy fee would be 0.005%.
437
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,509
Doesn't sound very big.
438
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,188
- Seven and a half million?
- Ah.
439
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,148
The first instalment
is already in your Zurich account.
440
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,311
How nice.
441
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,473
- What do you think I have here?
- I'm not sure I care to know.
442
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,108
A little gift to celebrate good fortune.
443
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,748
For the Urquhart Library, perhaps.
444
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,549
Or maybe just to read at home
on long winter evenings.
445
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,594
"The Prince". Niccol� Machiavelli.
446
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,590
What a lovely thought!
This is one of Francis's particular favourites.
447
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,228
Thank you very much, Mr Nures.
448
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,868
We really should be getting back.
449
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,311
Now that the Cyprus peace deal is complete,
450
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,268
will the Prime Minster release papers
about the unmarked graves
451
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,911
of Greek Cypriot freedom fighters
killed by the British army in the '50s?
452
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,596
I refer in particular to the deaths
of Georgios and Eurypides Passolides,
453
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,959
of which the Prime Minister is well aware,
but also to all those unpublished deaths
454
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,152
which still cause distress to surviving relatives
455
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,834
who have never properly mourned them.
456
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,991
Prime Minister?
457
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:31,154
I am surprised to find the Right Honourable
Gentleman so out of touch so soon.
458
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:36,314
The documentation that has survived,
such as it is, is in the public domain.
459
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,235
With certain exceptions.
460
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,791
The particular case
to which the Right Honourable Gentleman refers
461
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:48,829
is still covered by the 50-year rule
and is therefore not available for scrutiny.
462
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,231
Mr Tom Makepeace.
463
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,871
Will the Prime Minister deny
that this incident involved the killing
464
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:02,034
of two defenceless boys by a member
of the British army known personally to him
465
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,670
who was a serving officer
on the island at the time?
466
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,951
Prime Minister?
467
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:17,116
I have no idea what the Right Honourable
Gentleman is talking about.
468
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,156
Here we are, celebrating a great achievement,
469
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,834
guaranteeing not only peace for Cyprus,
470
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,709
but enormous opportunities
for investment and development
471
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,269
involving British aid and expertise.
472
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,871
Everyone except, it seems,
the Right Honourable Gentleman is happy.
473
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,071
Hear, hear!
474
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:42,473
Is this the moment to start opening old wounds?
Madam Speaker, I think not.
475
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,433
What's Sooty got to say about it?
476
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,191
Mr Tom Makepeace.
477
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,990
Is the Prime Minister not opening up new wounds,
presiding over a carve-up?
478
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,794
Who will benefit from the opportunities?
479
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,639
Not the ordinary people of Cyprus!
480
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:05,113
Just as the people of Britain have seen
little benefit from the economic recovery.
481
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:10,513
It is no longer acceptable that this country
is run for the sole benefit of British business,
482
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,673
which has come to mean
a small and cynical club of cronies
483
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,715
in the know and on the make -
the friends of Francis Urquhart!
484
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,673
- (UPROAR)
- Order! Order!
485
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,119
Order! Order!
486
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,071
Prime Minister.
487
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,868
The Right Honourable Gentleman
has made accusations
488
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,508
under parliamentary privilege.
489
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:47,959
Is he prepared to face personal ruin
by repeating them outside parliament
490
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,396
where he will be subject to the law of the land?
491
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,713
If not, then there is no more to be said.
492
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,033
We can treat his words with contempt.
493
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:01,391
As for the rest of his intemperate remarks,
494
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,030
might I remind the House
that until a few weeks ago,
495
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,193
the Right Honourable Gentleman
was a government minister?
496
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,478
If he thought things were so dreadful,
why didn't he say so then?
497
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,871
And why didn't he do something about it?
498
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,355
He's got it right now.
And he's got you right an' all!
499
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,988
(GENERAL UPROAR)
500
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,832
Order!
501
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,754
Makepeace knows something.
502
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,913
A lot of it was hot air and guesswork,
but he knows something.
503
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,310
Something about Cyprus.
504
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,711
- You think he knows about the oil?
- Not that.
505
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,156
But that girl was in the public gallery again.
506
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,949
She came to me first.
She must have gone to Makepeace.
507
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,793
He mentioned unmarked EOKA graves.
508
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,951
What girl, Francis?
509
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,509
Her name is Maria Passolides.
510
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,672
She thinks I know something about her uncles
511
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,310
who were killed
in the Troodos Mountains in 1956.
512
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,472
- Do you know something about it?
- Yes.
513
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,359
I killed them myself, as a matter of fact.
514
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:15,156
It wasn't a war crime or anything like that.
It was an act of mercy.
515
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,594
Francis...can this harm us?
516
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:24,715
I don't see how it can. After all,
nobody knows what really happened now.
517
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:29,436
It was a military operation.
They were terrorists and these things happen.
518
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,795
Of course they do.
519
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,236
But it's strange that it should come back now.
520
00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:47,589
I had a peculiar feeling in the House
this afternoon, as if I couldn't quite...
521
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,631
..smell the mood.
522
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:55,396
You were superb.
You made Makepeace look a complete fool.
523
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,028
You silenced him. He had no comeback.
524
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,988
Yes, but I had the odd impression
that they didn't like it.
525
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,312
They didn't want to see him savaged
and he sat there looking at me
526
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,758
as if there was something he sensed going on
that I couldn't sense.
527
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,349
I couldn't tell what was going on.
528
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,553
Nobody wins the party leadership
on a sympathy vote, Francis.
529
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,510
Tom Makepeace is a weak,
philandering renegade.
530
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:26,711
He can't win.
531
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,755
We simply won't permit it.
532
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,148
He's putting a very brave face on it,
533
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,313
but his support's dropping off
like a guardsman's britches.
534
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:50,076
- I thought he had over 100 in the bag.
- The chaps are taking a second look.
535
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:54,711
I don't like a man who rubbishes
what he said the day before yesterday.
536
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,394
Exactly. Massive credibility cleavage.
537
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,516
And FU is as straight as a die. Never wavers.
People respect him for that.
538
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,514
But can we stomach
another five years of the old bastard?
539
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,390
Frankly, I'd back Donald Duck
if he got the voters out and kept my seat safe.
540
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,870
Failing the duck, FU is still your best bet, Clive.
541
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,150
- Hello.
- Hello.
542
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,512
I thought you were terrific today.
Those things needed saying.
543
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,795
This is going to sound silly,
but I felt proud of you.
544
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,554
Proud to have... Well, you know.
545
00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:36,314
- Thank you.
- That's it, really.
546
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,748
Good luck, Tom. I mean that.
547
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:47,232
Does one normally pay for that sort of thing?
548
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,391
Sooty! Over here!
549
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,190
How's it looking, Sooty?
550
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,749
"Geoffrey", if you don't mind!
551
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:06,030
Anyway, it's not at all clear.
FU will win, but it won't be by a huge margin.
552
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:10,432
I think what the people really want
is a savage lurch to the right.
553
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:15,071
Some of these backwoodsmen
have been coming on like the Ku Klux Klan.
554
00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:18,869
If that's what they want,
tomorrow belongs to John Rayner.
555
00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:23,190
We could even sing the song
at the party conference.
556
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,749
(SINGS "TOMORROW BELONGS TO ME")
557
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,388
Yeah, yeah, all right, all right.
558
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:33,156
Seriously, I wouldn't be so bashful
about my most deeply-held beliefs.
559
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,434
I think there will be a second ballot.
560
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:41,599
Right.
561
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:43,917
Thanks, Geoff.
562
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,078
I won't forget this.
563
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,758
OK. Yeah.
564
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,314
I'll see you in the House tomorrow.
565
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,550
Thanks a lot. Bye.
566
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,314
Well...nothing more we can do.
567
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,715
I've given my all tonight.
568
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,119
- Lovely wine, this, Claire.
- That's your last glass of it.
569
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,914
He'll pull through the first ballot.
570
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,275
Sure. But then what?
571
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,830
If he doesn't get the margin, he should fight on.
572
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,070
Why do you think that?
573
00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:25,153
Because there's no one
fit to take his place. Not yet.
574
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,719
You used to be a Makepeace girl.
575
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,948

00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:36,352
He's... No, you wouldn't understand
because you're like that too.

- Like what?
- Soft. Weak.
578
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,074
In the nicest possible way, of course.
579
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,675
Now I've offended you.
580
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,671
You want it for yourself, don't you?
You want to be Prime Minister.
581
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,513
Geoffrey, you're being ridiculous.
582
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,672
You want to be Prime Minister next time round.
583
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,230
- You've covered your bets both ways.
- Nonsense.
584
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,233
Look, don't get me wrong, darling.

I think it's wonderful. I think YOU'RE wonderful.

00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,839
You're such a ruffian.
My tough, brilliant little sister.
587
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,156
- I'm not your sister, Geoffrey.
- Yes, you are.
588
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:25,075
We're the clever ones. Most of that bunch,
they're like dinosaurs in suits.
589
00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:30,473
They have no idea we're playing
with their little brains. I want to help you.
590
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,268
You have. You've been brilliant.
591
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,670
No, I mean all the way.
592
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,115
You can make it. I can't.
593
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:44,436
Though I am perceived, you know,
a Sooty, chorus boy, all that...
594
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,434
What I want to say is...I think you're wonderful.
595
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,998
I'm yours, Claire. All the way.
596
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,271
Thank you, Geoffrey.

00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,431
Seal the pact, huh?
598
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,351
In there, I mean.
599
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,080
We'd be wonderful. What do you say?
600
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,832
No, thank you, Geoffrey.
I don't think it would be appropriate.
601
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,112
- Anyway, I have to go now.
- Where?
602
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,788
Home to my husband, of course.

(BANGS GAVEL)
605
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:48,315
In the first ballot for the leadership of the party,
the votes cast were as follows.
606
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,199
The Prime Minister - 202.
607
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,749
Tom Makepeace - 145.
608
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,511
Neither of the candidates
secured a sufficient majority under the rules.
609
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:05,515
There'll be a second ballot next week
open to any other nominated candidates.
610
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,513
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
611
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:13,236
But surely FU will win the second ballot.
No one will vote twice for a loser.
612
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,391
On the contrary...
613
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,309
I think he's buggered, Wolf.
614
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,473
202 votes is almost exactly
what Maggie got in the first ballot
615
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,631
and look what happened to her.

00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:35,149

- Hello. How are you? What's all this?

00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,990
Is this the beginning of the end
for Francis Urquhart?
619
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:47,154
That's not for me to say.
I'm keenly looking forward to the second ballot.

00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,709
It's Prime Minister or bust, eh, Tom?

00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,156
No, I'm keen to serve my country

00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,591
I rather think it is.

I don't suppose
there can be a good time to say this.

- You know I'd never leave you.
- Yes, I know.

I should have routed him. Now he smells blood.

it's possible, but you can still beat him.

isn't it time YOU deserted the sinking ship?

- Too late, is it?

Francis, you should know I'm with you all the way.
669
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,759
What we need now is a new initiative.
670
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,912
A diversion, something that can win us time
671
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,152
and reminds them
of your strength and leadership.
672
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,709
So only a miracle can save me now.
673
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,629
..fight, fight and fight againand lead my party to victory...
674
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,872
I'm keen to serve my country in any way I can.
675
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,873
If the people want me as Prime Minister...
676
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,828
When I was a boy,
I was once taken to a badger baiting.
677
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,634
It's an experience you don't easily forget.
678
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,639
The badger is tremendously strong
and utterly fearless.
679
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:22,116
One bite can take off a dog's leg,
crush its skull, even.
680
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,313
They put the badger in with several dogs.
681
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,318
At first, the dogs' task seems hopeless.
682
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,875
They get horribly damaged.
683
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,791
And then one dog...
684
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,876
..gets in a lucky snap and draws blood.
685
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,909
And the rest take heart.
686
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,074
But, Francis, you're secure now.
687
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:59,592
The Urquhart Trust is assured,
our financial future guaranteed.
688
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,794
You know you could simply walk away.
689
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:07,954
No. "I have set my life upon a cast
and I will stand the hazard of the die."
690
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:13,238
I have to go on, Elizabeth.
It's as simple as that. I can do no other.
691
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:14,879
I know.
692
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,154
But, Francis, I don't think
I could bear to see you wounded.
693
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,868
Claire Carlsen implied
that what we need now is a miracle,
694
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,555
as if she thought me capable
of splitting the Earth's crust.
695
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,431
The Earth's crust.
696
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:39,999
Francis?
697
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,714
Suppose we leak information
to the Greeks and the French
698
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,348
that they have been cynically conned.
699
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,990
There are massive oil deposits
off the coast of Cyprus.
700
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:56,551
The British and the Turks
are now exploiting it to enrich themselves.
701
00:49:56,720 --> 00:50:00,235
- It's too dangerous.
- Provoking an international incident.
702
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,393
A small war, perhaps,
to which we can react with moral outrage,
703
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,154
uniting behind a strong Prime Minister!
704
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,517
But we'd risk losing everything.
705
00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:13,188
Better to do that than to slink away.
706
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,352
One way or the other, I'll be remembered.
707
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,353
This could be our Falklands, Elizabeth.
708
00:50:20,720 --> 00:50:22,870
Our Falklands!
