Thomas,

you all right?

Where's Tommy?

So he was right. It's Carl.

All

right.

Heat.

Heat.

Brother,

are you all right?

Bard, what's the matter?

It's called Denim. He's got the bomb.

And we've got to stop him.

What are you talking about?

Good God. What have you done to your

head?

We got to find the boat. Got to find the

bomb.

Well, look, let's get you inside my

house. It It's not very far.

Careful. Careful. Come on.

There we go.

Listen.

Sit down.

I'll get you something to drink.

I have to call Carter. We're not safe.

Denim could be anywhere.

I can't drink your milk.

No pressure. I can

That's better.

Now, take a deep breath.

I'll go and find her something stronger.

No, no, no, no. He will wait there.

No giving me the slip this time.

Oh no.

Oh god.

I told you not to move.

Yes.

I found our friend Meadows on the beach

rambling about a bomb.

No, I had him here. Here

we are.

Who are you talking to?

M.

It's called Adam, isn't it?

I don't know how I lost him. I just

panicked.

You can't blame yourself, Dance.

Well, that's the best forgery I've ever

seen. Looks like a genuine stamp. I

think it is genuine. So, he left Berlin

in October 1946. That's just about the

time that Major Khn had his run in with

N.

Look, we've had a new message.

We've got two days to meet the ransom or

they detonate the bomb. If he's our man,

we'll have to act fast.

If we don't stop this lunatic, then we

can forget about husbands and nephews

altogether. Now, where could he be,

Tens?

We know Carl has a boat. If he knew

Tommy was after him, he would have gone

to a safe place.

Yes,

Tommy's a strong swimmer.

Tuppens, we'll find him.

All right. Tenim can't just have

disappeared. Somebody must know where he

is. Who was he close to?

No, Carl isn't like that. He's He's a

loner, a a freewheeler.

Come on, Tens.

I don't know.

I'm so worried. I can't think straight.

I'm sorry. I'm scared.

Wait. Uh, Carl talked about a girl.

Yes.

He brought her flowers.

Das.

Who?

Sheila's favorite flowers are ders.

Sheila and Carl.

My god, how did I miss it? They're

together.

Good work.

What are you doing, Veronica?

That is Miss Peronoscar.

Yes, I know.

My husband drove the same model. I find

it strangely reassuring. You didn't come

home last night.

No, I stayed with friends. What friends,

Mr. and Mrs.

Smithson,

how do you find hotel de?

Good.

A little extra cash.

Anyway, I should go in get changed

before Sheila sees me.

Veronica, I thought I told you to sweep

the leaves.

Yes, Mr. Spider. Sorry, Mrs. Spider.

The scientist The scientist The

scientist The scientist has been

kidnapped.

work

for a new bomb.

Norwich might get away with a few broken

windows. A top secret.

Listen, Gilbert. Nobody wants to.

Just tell me where the key is and we can

get on with our lives.

You can go back to Cambridge. Do

whatever it is you do with your time.

Punting, reading.

Now, come on.

Where did you hide the key?

You'll talk soon, you little bastard.

I just up the dosage

and I'll be rid of you once and for all.

You're Gilbert Worththing.

What's the key?

I'm talking to you.

What did the commander mean

about the key?

I'm from MI5. I'm here to rescue you.

You think I'm going to fall for that?

We're all in the same boat, eh?

I am the country's leading atomic

physicist.

You want me to believe that MI5 would

send you?

What you doing, Mr. Bank?

Get your hands off there.

Step away from the boat.

I can't let you see what's in there.

Who are you working for?

Where's my husband?

Why did you do that?

He would have done the same to me.

Are you crazy? Well,

look. It's You don't understand. He's

got a bomb in here. He's What? Carl,

please wake up, darling.

He's a smuggler.

Please tell me about the key. I'm on

your side.

He'll get nothing out of him. He's a

genius, but he's not much of a talker.

Gilbert here has designed a bomb that

needs two unique keys to activate it. We

have one. He's hidden the other. The

only thing standing between me and a

life in the sun is this little bastard.

You don't want me to get her down here,

do you?

And won't be nearly as accommodating as

I've been.

And as a woman.

Yes.

And a very generous one at that.

So he actually is German.

Yes. But he's lived here since he was a

child. But

I'm sorry. I thought he was in the

major's room on the night of his death.

A letter was stolen. He had a bag.

Yes. He had a bag full of money that the

major owed him. Carl needed to pay for a

shipment of French brandy and got fed up

of asking. So, he took the matter into

his own hands. I mean, how was he

supposed to know that K had died? God

rest him.

Oh, God. I'm sorry. Where's Tommy?

Leave him be.

Oh, God. How am I going to find Tommy

now?

Who?

Meadows.

Well, maybe you should have thought of

that before you tried to kill Carl.

Hold on.

Maybe this way.

That's it. Hold his head up.

Carl,

go.

She's blinking. Don't

smile at her. She knocked you out.

She a boat. The boat.

It's all right, love. She knows about

the business.

What's going on?

Where's Tommy?

Tommy.

Meadows?

Well,

he found my stash, so I I panicked. I

knocked him out.

You what?

Well, I didn't know what to do with him,

so I left him down on the beach near

Prussia Cove.

That's where Commander Haydock lives.

Well, where's that? Take me there.

I gave this country the best years of my

life at sea. I came close to death half

a dozen times. What did I get in return?

I hear the pension is pretty rotten.

I wouldn't know. They took mine away.

One mistake. Just one mistake.

Captains

are supposed to be the last to leave

their ship. I thought I was, but there

were three men below. They perished

and I was stripped of command.

Is that what all this is about?

The money.

I deserve my piece of the pie.

Who else have we got down here?

We know MI5 didn't send you alone.

It's just me.

But your cats

very funny. Amy's not stupid. She has

got friends everywhere.

She'll kill you as well. You know,

send her blonde friend to do it.

I saw her run over a man without a care.

That's what MVD assassins are paid for

to clean up the loose ends.

Is that why Khn had to be cleaned up?

You didn't know

it wasn't suicide.

And why exactly should I listen to you?

I spoke with Khan.

He and Anne were old enemies.

He came here to seek revenge, but she

got to him first.

I didn't believe you.

It was business.

You liked Khan?

I could tell that.

I picked you from the beginning. Bird

watching my eye.

N told you to get close to Khan, didn't

she?

But you became friends.

I know what you're doing, Meadows. Don't

waste your breath.

N killed Khn because he could identify

her. What makes you think you'll be

spared when the time comes?

We have an understanding.

Mark my words, Hokog,

you'll be next.

Right. Let's see if Hog knows anything.

No, no. Let's just think.

He does suspect the commander's got

something to do with all this.

Anyone could be N. Haven't you been

listening to me? We can't just go in

there and ask if they have Tommy.

No.

What this plan needs

is a nosy widow.

Don't worry. I'll get you out of here.

Oh, good lord. Another hypodermic

needle. Is that your master plan?

We need to get you out of here before

that truth serum starts working.

You're as naive as that drunken sailor.

There's nowhere near enough sodium

theopental in that syringe to create a

proper seditive.

I must say, you're rather ungrateful.

Well, you're rather underwhelming.

Just a minute.

Just a minute.

Commander, I was just out for a morning

stroll and I saw your house.

Look, Mrs. Blinkens off. How do you find

it living up here? I must admit to being

somewhat tempted by the coastal life

myself.

Look, this really isn't a good time.

The original fireplace. Oh, you must be

cozy as a kitten up here.

Mrs. Blanken Sop. I'm expecting a guest

for breakfast.

How lovely. Anyone I know?

Well, no. It was just an old naval

friend.

I love sailors. Do you miss the sea?

It must be so odd when you first reach

dry land.

Well, I suppose. Did you ever spot any

whales when you were out on the earth?

Look, stop.

I do not have time for callers at this

moment. Please leave, Mrs. Blankentop.

Yes, of course.

I can get a little ahead of myself. You

must forgive me.

Tommy's in there. I saw his coat.

I told Shen, keep the engine running.

Anything?

M.

We've got to keep moving. Oh, you try

running when you've been tortured by a

halfwick for days.

I feel like a

Tommy.

Chap Denim.

Tommy, are you all right? Is Hey, dog.

No, no, he he's working for N.

Then who's N?

I don't know, but she's

Wait, N's a woman?

Tubbins. I'll explain later.

Did you find Gilbert?

Yes. Can we get going, please?

Hang on. Not a good idea.

Or just shoot the lock off.

But it's not loading.

You are joking.

Mill.

Come on.

Just help me up there and I'll try going

through the window.

What?

Oh, for the sake.

Get down, bastion.

Why did you trap me out here? I was

perfectly safe before.

Tell me this way.

Look out.

Millers

coming.

As is for a winning ant.

Oh, darling. I was worried.

Here, sip this. You need sustenance.

Oh, Coco. Oh, God. No. Can't stand this

stuff.

Maybe we should tie you back up and pour

it down your throat. Gilbert, where is

the key?

Why should I trust you?

Thousands and thousands of people could

die if we don't get to that key before

N.

Do you want that on your conscience?

Because I sure as hell couldn't live

with myself.

I hid it in that ghastly bird painting

in the lounge at the Susi.

The Arctic Warbler.

Miss Sarina, is that you?

Oh, Veronica, can I have a word with you

in private, please?

Um, well, it it's it's not. Please, we

must talk at once.

There's something not right about those

two.

Come on the picture.

Well, well, well.

Caught red-handed.

Mrs. Bro, didn't see you there.

I was reading a book. Crime fiction. Not

one of yours.

What mischief are you two up to?

What a mischief.

I just bought this painting from Sheila.

Oh, really?

That's a bargain, I thought. What did

you say it went for?

£20.

For a painting of a bird.

Well, I mean, two birds.

That is an original.

Yeah. Family heirloom.

Yes, I remember. And she sold it to you.

Ah, Mr. Meadows.

Thank you for taking that down. I'm

going to get the frame cleaned.

Well, someone is telling tall tales.

I've cleaned that already.

Well, I don't need it clean. I'll buy it

as it is. Excuse me.

A fine purchase, Mr. Meadows.

Where are you taking it?

The bank, of course.

Good day, everyone.

So, Barisford's Barnets is a family

business.

Your little wife here nearly blew my

cover after I dealt with Khn.

I should have taken her out then.

Well, what would I have to bargain with

now?

I should have listened to my wife.

Isn't that always the way?

What's that, Veronica? No.

Keep back.

Give me the key.

Don't, Tommy.

Please don't give it to her. I beg you.

That bomb will kill a lot of innocent

people. He'll do it,

won't you, Mr. Berisford?

Everyone has their weakness.

One person you love is worth more than a

million civilians you've never met.

Such a little thing, isn't it? It's

almost disappointing.

You know my demands. I'll call here in 4

hours. Any delay and I'll detonate the

bomb.

fall to me.

You stupid bloody fool.

I swear I didn't want to happens on this

mission because you're compromised when

you're together.

I held out for 5 days without Phil and

you give it away.

I reckon some brawl might have come in

handy.

You had the key in your hand.

She had a gun to my wife's head.

Compromised? Have you any idea what

we've been through on this?

Two years I worked on those plants. You

dare talk to him?

Thank you.

Shall we start thinking about what to do

next?

Gilbert.

The bomb. Will it work?

Of course it will work. But you can't be

certain. It hasn't been tested.

Albert, it isn't one of your class

demonstrations.

It will work. It is perfect.

Perfect. Do you know how beautiful

Dresden was before they flattened it?

Yes. Well, parts of London were quite

pretty, too.

Lad, stop this. So, we'll be here all

night.

We have to negotiate.

Mom secret is burying his head in the

sand. We've got precisely 3 and 1/2

hours to release 30 dangerous Soviet

agents. Now, we're missing something. I

mean, if she's deserted the Stalinist

cause, why are the interested 30

political prisoners?

What if she only wants one?

She said,

"Everyone has a weakness.

One person you love is worth more than a

million civilians you've never met."

Oh, what is it? To

Spot had a photo on her dresser. She

said it was of her husband. Veronica,

can you check if it's still there,

please?

Sure. Yes.

She told me they were divorced. From my

attitude, there didn't seem to be any

love lost.

That was all part of our cover.

Either way, if divorce was the cover,

why keep the photo?

Thank you.

Now, doesn't he

look a lot like

him?

It's Roger Blake arrested for attempting

to blackmail a civil servant in 1949.

Blake's code name was M.

It was all for him. She kept his photo,

his letters.

She told me M stood for major.

She fooled us all. Not this mean.

We found her. Hercules heel.

Wait a minute. Roger Blake's dead.

Well, since when?

About 2 weeks ago, he had a heart attack

in Pentawor prison.

Well,

she obviously doesn't know that.

You know,

there is a strong resemblance

to who?

It looks like you, Tommy.

Come on, Tommy. Bit of a hairstyle, a

good coat, hat.

No, something longer, I think.

In low lighting.

More like no lighting.

Oh, come on, Tommy.

Mrs. Sprat did always have a soft spot

for you.

Perhaps you reminded her of M. The

likeness is striking.

I don't see it myself.

Really? You both have classic good

looks.

Well, I mean,

I suppose the jawline is the same, but

he looks more like Clark Gable.

I'll give that a look, too.

Karen,

how on earth would we do this?

You just need to convince her for a

second. You can do that.

Just long enough to get close to her.

Then we tell her that we'll swap you for

the keys. Everyone know Toppens's a mile

off.

Well, they've been apart for 3 years.

And prison can change a man.

All right.

Hello.

No, but I think we have what you're

really looking for.

Roger Blake.

All right.

Shall we say 9:00?

She went for it. We're going to meet her

on the pier at 9:00. Just the two of us

here. You're going to need this.

Um, Tubbins, you do the finishing

touches.

Oh, Christ. Tommy, don't shoot off your

own foot.

Tens, you must promise to stay put while

Carter and I meet Mrs. Sprat. She did

say just the two of us.

I will. I promise.

I need you to believe in me.

Of course I believe in you.

But

I can't do it if you don't.

Oh, Tommy, I believe in you.

I'm just a little nervous, that's all.

Yes.

I thought you could use this.

I could never grow a real one. Baby face

and all that. Ladies love it. Very Clark

Ael.

Thank you, Carl.

I suppose it's not all bad.

Should we try it?

There,

Clark Gay will eat your heart out.

I'm sorry, Sans.

You were right.

I have my moments.

That mustache

suits you.

Is this really necessary?

Yes, you're my prisoner. Can of you

walking about freely?

I feel like I'm walking the plank.

Don't look up.

Try and stay out of the light.

What can you see?

Just Carter and Tommy. Any sign of

Sprat?

Not so far.

Let me have a go.

We shouldn't be here. I promise Carter.

Carter said stay off the pier. We are

not on the pier.

Yes. I'm not sure this is quite what he

had in mind.

Tommy needs our help and he knows it.

But Carter,

Albert, live a little.

There she is.

No, no, no. Slow down.

Stand right there, Blake. Run for it and

I'll shoot you in the back.

I said no guns. Doesn't a person's word

mean anything anymore?

Not in the case of blackmail. Now,

it's a life for a life.

Actually, it's a life for a 100,000

lives.

She's armed, I think. Oh god, I'm going

down there. Go.

We wait.

So, you're N.

After all this time, it's almost a

pleasure to meet you.

The pleasure's all yours. But let's save

the catch up for another day. Scon at

the Seavoi.

Isn't that what you like?

The Seavoi? Yes.

Release him.

Keys first.

Roger. Is that you?

Say something.

It's been 3 years.

Listen up. Keys first, romance later.

Relax, will you? You're not getting

anything until I've spoken to Roger. I

call the shots.

It just depends how you look.

Please don't hurt him. Okay.

Give me the keys and your gun and he's

all yours.

Look, I'm going to give you everything.

Just tell me you're okay. Tell me they

haven't hurt you.

I'm fine.

You sound strange.

Fail. That's as close as he gets.

Okay. Wait, wait, wait. Just let me ask

a question.

What was the name of the hotel that we

stayed at in Rio?

Roger

something's gone wrong. She knows.

Roger.

It was the uh

No.

God. Where is he?

Keys now.

Why isn't he here?

Where's the bomb? Not without Roger.

Where is he?

He's dead. He died two weeks ago.

Heart attack.

Shoot.

I have nothing to live for.

Kill me.

Tell me where the bomb is or so. Help

me. Oh god. Uncle,

look out.

Oh my god, she shot Carter.

Where are you going?

Get on your knees. Get on your knees.

We never made it to Rio.

Roger wanted to dance at the carnival,

watch fireworks on the beach.

Do you want to see some fireworks, Mr.

Berisford?

Boom.

No, I'm all right, Tommy. Just get after

her. I need to bloody keep these hands

in my pocket.

I'm so stupid.

She's

been shot.

I'm fine. And there's no time for all

that. Get off her.

Where did she go?

She went in there. Go.

Come on. Come on. Ready?

Albert over here.

It's got to be close.

The last time we were in this position,

you were more used to me alive.

What's happened.

Thomas.

Tommy,

are you all right?

She's dead.

I found it.

Pull the key out. That that that could

kill us.

Just turn it off.

So could that. I think we ought to get

killed on the phone quickly.

There's

a phone down here.

Oh, look at this. Cy told me we've

really done nothing. We've been in

tighter spots than this.

Gilbert.

Yes. And in worse company.

We found the bomb. You're going to have

to help with the army.

Oh, don't tell me the only hope we've

got is from Albert Einstein.

Is it out?

Yes. The keys are in it. It's counting

down. Tell that idiot school teacher

whatever he does don't cut to red.

He says to avoid the red wire.

I'm not an idiot.

Just don't do anything. Wait. Let me

think.

Gilbert. Come on.

Damn this hand.

My hands. Your eyes.

Please.

Ah. All right. Listen. You're looking

for a green wire.

Green wire.

There's no green. There's no green.

There's no green wire. There must be.

That's impossible.

There's no green wire man talk.

There must be. I can't remember. I I

don't know. I don't know. Gilbert,

come on.

Things stop. I I need to think clearly.

Please. Come on.

Blue,

do it.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Well,

any old fool can build a bomb. It takes

a genius to diffuse one.

You know what I love about you, Tuppins,

Barisford?

What?

You never ever do what you're told.

Thank you.

How's the arm, major?

Well, it stings a bit, but apart from

that, everything's going rather well.

So, you found your leak?

Yes. Sprat gave it away when she

mentioned scon.

Only my driver knew about my weakness

for afternoon tea at the Seavoy.

You mean that driver?

Larry. Yes. He thinks he got away with

it. He doesn't know that his next stop

is the third floor interrogation room.

That must be an awful relief.

I'll say

um this is for you. It's uh first

payment and um

and my thanks.

I'm tempted to uh subcontract you some

work private detective agency sort of

thing. Nothing dangerous.

Is that something that would interest

you?

Yes, uncle. Yes.

Good.

Well, start thinking about a name.

The young adventure.

You two work it out. I've uh got

somewhere to be.

Young is a bit misleading. Middle-aged

at best.

Speak for yourself, Tommy. Operation

Berisford sounds like a hospital

procedure.

Please, not the young adventurers.

We want to sound exciting, passionate,

reliable, dependable.

We're not selling insurance.

You want peace of mind, whatever you're

selling.

People want adventure, Tommy.

Not if you're investigating their

property rights. We'll be chasing jewel

thieves, uncovering government

conspiracies.

Oh, we could carve a nice little earner

out of domestic disputes.

Murder within the establishment.

Fraud? That's your bread and butter.

Oh, I'll need a new hat.

I should renew my library card.

We should get an office.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves,

Tubbins.

The possibilities are endless.
