That's easy.

Oh, it's you.

I brought you some breakfast. I thought

you could do with some company.

But if

Oh, no. No. Come in.

Nothing.

No word, no from either Tommy or Jane.

Thank you.

Tommy will find a way out. I'm sure.

Brown's had to change his plans. Doesn't

like that.

What do you want?

There's an old operation codeen named

the Lynden Tree.

There's a file on it in military

intelligence archives. We want you to

bring us that file.

How can I?

There's some information in that file.

Let's just say P Brown's got an idea.

And if I can't get it,

who's to say?

You're very fond of your son, aren't

you?

Wouldn't want him not to be able to play

cricket, wouldn't we?

We'll call you with more details.

Stay near the telephone.

I'm just a man. I sold honey.

Heat. Heat.

Tapants,

I'm home.

What's happens?

Oh, there you are.

Where's Tins?

We thought you were dead.

Don't need to sound so surprised.

So, where did you disappear to?

Is that my pipe?

Did you find out anything about Jane?

Nothing. and my cardigan.

Your house is freezing. I thought you

wouldn't mind.

Seeing as I was dead.

Was there no clue at all?

Afraid not.

Where's Tens?

She's going to get some coffee. She will

be glad to see you.

What do you think? Now, excuse me.

Tell Hey.

Oh, thank goodness.

What happened?

Are you all right?

He was wearing my cardigan. He's gone

now.

Smoking my pipe. If anything happened to

me, I

You ridiculous man.

Don't you realize how much I missed you?

Now, why did they let you go?

They didn't let me go. I had to find my

way out.

Right.

How did you really get out?

Like I said, with my fierce,

you remember on our honeymoon, we

promised to tell each other everything.

Absolutely.

They aren't as tough as they look.

They killed Rita.

Rita?

How?

I'll get it. Fine.

They're right here.

Hello.

Strange. Whoever it was rang off.

Have you spoken to George?

Not this morning.

Why?

How did they kill Rita?

They strung her up.

Tommy, what's going on?

Oh, Tom, there's been a sighting of

Tommy hitching 5 miles outside the

village.

Oh,

Tommy.

So, this was just written on the wall.

Jane was in room 10. Isn't that right,

Tommy? Tommy,

what? And you've looked up places?

I've been right through my atlas.

There's a street called Anasa in

Glasgow, and there's a small boat

builders called Anasa in Cardiff. But

could Jane have got to any of those?

I'm sure we're missing something.

Hello. Phone box on the green. be there

in 2 minutes.

There was a politician called David

Anassa

when

in the 20s I think bit long ago.

Tommy.

Wrong number.

Second one in an hour.

I'm just popping out for some milk.

We've got plenty of milk.

over here.

No fair would be complete without it.

Thank you ladies for the cakes. Marvel

with you.

problem with foresight's bunting. Can I

go first?

The Harvest Fair isn't for ages.

It's tomorrow. You're not even using it.

I'm waiting for a call.

Well, who on earth waits for a call when

they have a perfectly good telephone at

home?

Come on, get up.

Let me

Wait a minute. No, I need you to just

just let me let me have a

Yes.

Eastfield dock tonight 10:00.

Did you see that behavior?

I don't even know where the file is. I I

don't have any sort of clearance.

You'll be debriefed, taken to the third

floor. Archives are on the floor above.

I

can't just wander around and help

myself.

It's a code red file classified. It will

have lynen tree on the outside. Look,

you've got to give me something.

Something to gain their trust.

Tell them about Sand Castle.

What's that castle?

They'll know. And remember, not a word

to anyone about seeing the girl or

George gets it.

You stay away from him.

Get the file.

Wait.

Lady friend is it?

I'll tell.

I hear he's turned out a prodal nephew.

Carter sent me to fetch him.

Why?

He needs a debrief. The man was lost in

the field. We need to know everything

that happened to him. It's quite

routine.

I found something.

Can we talk?

Of course.

Curious.

Have you shown it to Carter?

Not yet. But if it's a message from

Jane?

Yes. Right. The NASA. The NASA.

And you're sure that Jane was being held

in the house?

Well, the woman Annette,

wait a minute. Who's Annette?

She's

she's one of the

you know

h

she said they were holding a girl in the

basement.

Listen, I don't mean to dash your hopes,

but I see women like this Annette in the

court all the time. How reliable they

are. Who knows? Plus, if she works for

the men who work for Brown, she must

have her ruthless side. I think we

should look after.

Thank you. Maybe I'll have the time

crew.

Tommy, is that you?

Look, I better take Tommy for his

debrief.

Oh, it's uh just a few questions.

Nothing to worry about. Strictly

routine. Standard issue debrief really.

Um well, they're very keen to start. So,

if you're ready, a friend of mine will

do it. His name's Bulldog.

Mr. Barerisford, you look like an

intelligent man. Do you think

we are so stupid to believe

they let you escape?

Yes.

No. No. I mean,

one of them was coming at me and

it was dark. They didn't realize they

left the door open. So,

do you have any connection to Russia,

Mr. Baris?

No. You ever met a man calling himself

Brow? Of course I haven't.

May I have a glass of water?

You do understand

what you would be facing if you were now

working for Brown.

You would in fact be a traitor.

There was a place they referred to.

Wittington was on the telephone. I

They thought I was knocked out.

Who won?

They called it the sand castle.

The sand castle.

The sound castle is a piece of coastline

used in the past to smuggle things into

the country. We'll keep watch. If Brown

is planning his escape, then that tip

off could be very useful.

Well done, Tommy. You made quite an

impression.

When Tapens gets here, we'll go to

dinner. She's a little late, I'm afraid.

Chip glass.

What? Oh, I'll I'll get you another.

Not to worry. I'll go.

Go. Well, no. No. I've got one here.

You're not still a clumsy Tom, are you?

I'd like you to meet some of the others

if you're to be working with us now.

I'm terribly sorry, Uncle. I really need

the lavatory.

Well, right now,

you know what I'm like when I need to

go.

I thought you grew out of all that.

Won't be a tick.

There is

no

What the hell are you doing?

Just looking for the toilet

in that.

Look, just keep your voice down and go

back to Carter's office.

You're up to something. You've been odd

ever since.

Look, for goodness sake, just get out.

Explanation first. I

have to say you're very impressive back

there. Very impressive indeed. Have a

team right on it. Now then, this must be

your lovely wife.

Ah, yes. Uh, Tuppens, this is

Bulldog. Oh, most people call me Nigel.

Delighted. Now, Tommy, I would like to

seek your opinion on uh

the Soviets might be using Sand Castle

to bring other agents in.

Yes. I was rules against the stopping of

surveillance.

They've never actually

I'm waiting.

I don't know if you remember on the

southwest near West.

They only let me go because

they want me to take a file from

archives.

You're going to steal a file.

Yes.

From military intelligence.

I'm saving our son.

I knew it. What's this got to do with

John?

Tommy, what do you think?

Exactly the same as your uncle.

Precisely. You see, he agrees. But we've

always known that the assassination was

only stage one. But if it's as you fear,

if I don't do what they say, then

George, it will blow me up. George will

get it.

What do you mean get it?

They said they do something that stopped

him from playing cricket or worse.

Just like Reese.

We can't tell Carter.

No, but that's not a map.

What does the file look like?

It's about an operation called Lindree.

That's all I know.

on foot.

I know I told you

2 minutes then set off the fire alarm

canal. I think there's some sort of

water restriction and that sort of

thing.

Oh, you need a license.

Just going to powder my nose.

Uh

quite understand what you've done yet.

This one goes here. Isn't that pretty

backward? It's a exact match for that

part.

being. thought about sand castle

certainly helped. I think I'll have to

go to level four for the secretary of

state's visit

and um I think we can agree no CIA.

Oh, absolutely. One whiff of this and is

it canceled the treaty postponed?

He's more than he seems. He's got this

whole honey business going on, haven't

you, Tori?

Is that so?

Oh, yes.

He's got hives in the garden. It's a

real business. It's wonderful. I tell

you what, I I'll give you my pot.

Oh, no. No. No, no, no. I've got some

here somewhere.

The bottom drawer. It's very good. I

think this

No, Anthony. I really could. Suppose you

No, I got an industry going. Why don't

you do something?

No, really. I'd rather not.

Look, fire alarm. Tell me the the bin.

Why you got a jar of honey?

Uncle was giving it away. Bloody cheek.

Should we open it?

Then we are knowingly giving the enemy

something.

All right. But if we don't,

Carter,

why do they want to file about Carter?

Don't ask. It's better not to know.

We are doing this for George.

Of course we are.

They've backed us into a corner.

Just because it's to do with Carter, it

doesn't change anything.

Anyone would do the same for their son.

Are you ready?

I got your message. Came as quickly as I

could.

Good.

Anything?

Well, something that perhaps might do

the trick.

I'll make the drop.

Good luck, Tommy.

Be careful.

Whittington.

I've got it.

He thought you weren't coming.

Annette,

he said 10.

Got the file.

What have they done to you?

Oh, Tommy.

You like her, don't you?

The file.

Lynen Tree. Proud will be pleased.

I've done what you asked.

Now I need to know you won't harm

George.

Please, Whittington, stay away from my

son.

We'll be in touch.

Take care of yourself, Tommy

and you.

Well done.

Did I give you enough time? Just about

the part we attach to Wittington's car

emits a shortwave radio signal which

this part then receives. The dial here

should tell you which direction the

signal is coming from. Imprecise and

untested, I'm afraid, but it's the best

I've got.

We've been driving for hours. Where are

they? The signal is coming from that

direction.

Well, there's no roads in that

direction.

The beeps are getting closer together.

We must be getting nearer.

There's three beeps every 15 seconds.

That's funny.

What's funny?

You did take it for that service.

Yes, of course I did.

And they did check the brakes.

They said they did.

Something isn't working.

We'll put the handbrake on.

It is on.

Come off the road.

I mean, where?

Do something.

Like what?

Stupid car.

Are you all right?

I think so.

What's that?

They know where we live.

They know about our car.

They know about George.

Oh god.

Come on.

All right, I know that didn't go exactly

according to plan.

Tubbs enough.

Are you joking? It's all the more

important that we find out who Brown is.

We were nearly killed. That was meant to

bump us off just like Breita.

Well, yes. All right. A minor setback.

Will you ever stop? We're in the middle

of nowhere. We've lost our car. George

has been threatened. We've no money. Far

less a way of getting out.

You to come out without your wallet.

To please. I've had enough of all this.

I know there's a missing girl.

I know there's an assassin. But

I am just a man.

A very ordinary man.

Okay.

You mean it?

You can stop and go back to a normal

life.

Yes. All right.

Thank you.

There's bound to be a train station

around here somewhere.

Fin

check.

Oh no, Tommy.

Oh my goodness.

Look.

Do you think this was another warning?

I don't know what happens.

All I know is they didn't take the

wireless.

They didn't take the silver. They didn't

take that hideous ornament of yours,

which is nonetheless still quite

valuable.

There was £2 in change on the dresser in

the hall and that was also untouched.

So, if they weren't looking for money,

what were they looking for?

Could

you put that there?

I didn't put anything anywhere. I

haven't touched a thing.

This was in our bedside table. So,

so

why would anyone pick up an innocuous

book of classical translations,

bring it downstairs, and look at it on

our kitchen table, unless they knew it

was the last book that Jane Finn was

reading before she disappeared.

Tens, you promised me.

I'm just asking the question. It is odd,

don't you think?

Passk

me the book.

Well, it's ancient Greek for one thing.

I know it's ancient Greek. Did you ever

learn any?

My school wasn't posh enough. We just

did French.

What was that word?

Anessa.

Oh, don't tell me

how utterly straightforward. Jane was a

linguist.

What does it mean?

Means queen.

Queen.

So what's she trying to tell us?

The queen is the target.

She hasn't even been crowned yet.

Who else did you tell about the word?

you,

Albert,

Peele, and Carter.

Julius,

I knew we shouldn't have trusted him.

Wait, where are you going?

To see the queen, of course.

Damn it.

You aren't making sense.

She was with us in that carriage. You'd

already noticed that she was frightened.

I handed her the B box. Do you remember

the queen?

The queen?

The queen? Bee?

Anassessa? The queen? You think she hid

the recording there?

That's what she was trying to tell us.

She knew we had her book. Whoever it was

that did this had worked it out, too.

Only they hadn't read my B book.

You didn't either.

I did. In the end, that's why I moved

the queen to the shed. It said I had to

wait until the rest of the colony was

ready to swarm and then introduce her.

The box should still be in there.

We had it all the time.

Yes.

Yes. I appreciate you're very busy,

uncle, but I promise you this will be

worth your while.

I can't believe it.

They're recording.

We still need to find that poor girl.

I know, but if it leads us to Brown,

ready.

I'm guessing his school certainly wasn't

poor enough for Russia.

Don't move.

Give me the recording. I knew we

shouldn't trust you.

Now, Julius, don't do anything stupid.

Don't do that. Stand right there.

This is my only chance. They want this

tape of Jane's life and I'm going to

give it to them and

we lose Brown forever.

I don't care about Brown. I only care

about Jane. Don't Tuppins.

Stay exactly where you are.

Don't try to follow me or I will use

this. I didn't believe you would. Put

down that gun, Julius.

Tommy, are you all right?

It's just a cricket bed.

No car.

Bikes.

They're coming after me. Where do you

want me to meet you?

Destroy the recording.

Destroy the

If someone is after you, then destroy

it. We're watching you.

No. Julius. Julius. Stop. What are you

doing? Julia,

watch out.

The recording.

My god.

Is this it?

Can Albert do anything?

It's all melted. Tommy,

I think we're going to need some help

here.

Why did he burn? It doesn't make sense.

Nothing about Julius makes sense.

Didn't I say we shouldn't have trusted

him?

And did we even check that Jane Finn has

an uncle? You can't stay here.

No one can be in here until he wakes up.

I don't care who you are. Go on. Shoot.

Shoot. Shoot.

Maybe we should go back up. It's been

ages.

What you were talking about before?

I think you're on to something.

Was I?

You're so clever.

Really?

He isn't. Jane's uncle.

What?

You saw the way he was grabbing the

recording, flailing about, desperate. Is

that a man missing his niece?

Look at that.

Does that look like a family photo to

you?

So, what are you saying?

You think they were lovers?

Of course they are. They make sense of

everything.

to Jane with all my love. Julius, he's

not her uncle.

But why lie?

I don't know. But that's exactly what

we've got to find out.

Is he awake yet?

Yes. And if you've been able to give me

a second, I was on my way to tell you.

The doctors have seen him. And yes, you

can go in.

Thank you so much. My pleasure.

Don't exhaust him.

I asked to see Major Carter.

He's coming.

Well, then let me be till he gets here.

We think you aren't Jane's uncle.

We think you're in contact with the

gang. Now, we're prepared to give you

the benefit of the doubt and say that

everything you have done, you have done

for Jane, but

I'm not saying a word.

Well, that's a pity because we aren't

going anywhere.

Mind if I have your biscuit?

So, you're awake?

Uh,

I want to make a full confession.

Excellent.

What?

You see,

I'm brown.

He can't be brown.

He just said he was. We both heard him.

Please get out of the way. It

doesn't make sense.

Yes, it makes sense. He destroyed the

recording. And he's been posing as Jane

Finn's uncle, even though he's no

relation whatsoever. So, he could use

you to find out what's been happening on

the third floor.

Nonsense. He and Jane were in love. He's

not a spy. It's a romance.

Oh, that's absurd. No, he's been lying

to us all along. Look, I've got the CIA

breathing down my neck. They got wind of

the assassination attempt and were ready

to pull the plug on a whole visit.

Luckily, I found Brown in time. I have

no intention of unpicking something that

makes perfect sense.

It's how these things work. He'd do

anything, say anything to save.

Someone is manipulating him. He's

changed his tune entirely since he got

to hospital. Don't you see?

No, I see nothing. Look, thank you both

for your help. And may I say, and I hope

for the last time this week, please

Tommy Tuppence, leave it to the

professionals.

You'd have to love someone very much to

put yourself in the position he's in.

And you'd have to know they were still

alive.

Someone's got to.

Do I look like someone who has time to

talk about a man who is no longer even

my patient?

No, of course not. You look very busy

and very important. And anyone who

thinks that nurses have an easy life

have absolutely no idea what they're

talking about. But we just wondered. Did

he have any visitors before he woke up

or after he woke up?

Did anyone have a chance to speak to

him?

Of course not. No one gets access to a

patient in that state. Only me and the

doctors. I told you that before.

What were the names of the doctors on

today? I don't memorize them, do I?

There's a list in the duty book. Where

is the duty book?

Today's page has been ripped.

Let me see that.

Oh, I assure you that has nothing to do

with me. I run a tight ship here.

Was there anyone here who isn't usual?

Any visitors?

All the visitors were sent away. Only

the locom that was here this morning?

Yes. Dashed off to another job.

What was his name?

He wanted me to arrange a prescription

for someone. I was just doing it now. I

had the form.

Insulin.

That's him.

Run, Tommy.

All right.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we've been so stupid.

Yes.

Peele all the time.

Oh god.

The date of the Secretary of State's

visit, the nuclear treaty. It's

today. We have to walk harder.

He's not here right now.

Where is he?

He's in a locked meeting. There's a

right royal stoushy going on.

What's happened?

Some idiot leaked details of an old

operation. Press are all over it. Looks

like Carter might be suspended. Peele's

in there trying to defend.

Peele is here.

He was earlier. and the Secretary of

State.

You actually got clearance for this?

We think he's in danger. Very real

danger. Now,

Carter's on top of that. He's asked

Peele to take him to the ambassador's

country residence where he can meet the

foreign secretary in safety.

What?

He's asked Peele.

Yeah, they'll be fine. These houses are

like fortresses. They can sign the

treaty there.

When did they leave?

Moments ago. You might still catch them.

We have to stop them.

Hold on.

What are you doing? What's going on?

It's peel. What's peel?

Brown.

Peel is brown.

What do we do? We need a car.

Where's that head pin?

What are you doing?

Taking uncle's car.

Well,

at least let me drive.

Certainly not car. This needs to be

handled by a man.

Always wanted to drive this beast.

Whoops.

Oh, for goodness sake.

Not Tommy.

The foreign secretary is waiting for you

in here. The others will be along

shortly.

Could you see her? I I think I just got

stung by a wasp.

A bee, probably. There's so many around

this time of year. I'll get you

something.

Oh, thank you.

Make yourself a home.

Thank you.

Tommy, that prescription the nurse gave

Peel, what was it?

Insulin.

That could be fatal.

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. You got

clearance?

Yes. Here.

That's not clearance. I mean US

clearance.

This is an MI5 pass. And this is a CIA

checkpoint.

For goodness sake, he's third floor. The

Secretary of State's life is in danger.

Well, if you want to get Tety,

I think we're on the list. Oh,

you like this guy?

Wait, sir.

We need to get in quick.

The Secretary of State's been poisoned.

Damn it. He needs sugar,

glucose.

Uh, biscuits, some some fruit juice,

honey.

Perfect. What the hell is going on?

Peele, where is he?

Peele is Brown. He just tried to kill

the Secretary of State.

What?

He must be in the house.

Good God.

Search for him, Carter. Mr. Secretary,

can you hear me? I'm giving you some

honey.

Time to stop.

Oh, you've been very clever.

very shrewd. You would have thought it

for an average sort of man whose wife

more used to making marmalade and honey,

you should have stayed at home.

There's no escape. You won't get out of

this building.

Where's Jane?

Why should I give you that?

James,

why? I'm not going to sit in a stinking

hole, Carter. I'm not going to let you

take me to rot in some prison.

But you love this country. Sunken,

immoral, corrupt. The things I see in

the courts.

You think that's something you could

love?

I see a nobler future. Let history be my

judge.

You put down a gun

and we can talk about it.

I was brilliant in my day.

Heat.

Heat.

That's it.

Jane,

are you sure she's okay?

Fine. A little rung out. Milk.

I realize I owe you an explanation.

We worked it out.

I should have told you from the start.

You're married.

Only in name. I'm going through a

divorce.

I see.

Don't do that thin lipped thing. I know

I put you through it. But there's an

understatement.

I thought that I would lose everything

if anyone knew about Jane before the

divorce was settled.

Selfish of me. I panicked and said she

was my niece. And once I said it once,

forgive me

for now.

But you better take good care of her.

Jane,

I am never going to let you out of my

sight.

I thought I was going to die in that

room.

You're safe now.

Yeah, there's a rumor in the village

that you've got yourself a fancy woman.

Oh,

is there really?

You've been receiving secret phone calls

according to one source.

I wonder who that can be.

I have no idea.

Well, I do have an idea. If you will go

taking your wedding ring off.

I thought I'd explained all that.

You found it.

Shouldn't really go leaving it lying

around. Tommy,

you are a wonderful woman. Mrs. Beris,

have I ever told you? What?

Tony, you hurt your back.

Oh, it's wonderful to be getting back to

normal.

Normal?

Wow. Just you, me, George, the dog. I'll

even consider giving up the bees.

Really?

Yes. Provided we can leave this damn

sloofing behind.

What?

What do you mean? What?

Why would we want to leave it behind?

But you said you said

I know what I said, but it was in the

heat of the moment. Oh, Tommy, think of

all the adventures we could have.

There's a whole world out there full of

spies and assassins and and people

wanting to hurt this country. We, my

darling, have only just started.

Can I at least have the weekend to think

about it? I've got the car to fix.

Fine.

Don't even
