1
00:00:33,450 --> 00:00:35,470
He had more gods around him than your
children.

2
00:00:37,170 --> 00:00:38,630
I found his wife instead.

3
00:00:39,310 --> 00:00:40,310
What's she like?

4
00:00:41,210 --> 00:00:42,850
Everything about him fascinates you.

5
00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:46,330
It's professional curiosity. We need to
know, that's all.

6
00:00:46,690 --> 00:00:47,830
You identify with him.

7
00:00:48,210 --> 00:00:49,210
Don't be ridiculous.

8
00:00:50,890 --> 00:00:53,990
Did you know he was born the same month
and year as you?

9
00:00:55,450 --> 00:00:58,870
And that he spent most of his childhood
in Berlin because his father was

10
00:00:58,870 --> 00:00:59,870
stationed here?

11
00:01:07,660 --> 00:01:08,660
Where do they live?

12
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,280
Out in the country, the Neuschen.

13
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:16,580
Northeast of the city, the last station
on the S -Bahn. I pretended I was doing

14
00:01:16,580 --> 00:01:18,660
a public transfer survey.

15
00:01:19,220 --> 00:01:21,900
You lunatic. You've got West Berlin
papers.

16
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,420
I suppose you should call the police to
check your credentials.

17
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,140
She wasn't going to call anyone.

18
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:31,000
She wouldn't have answered the door if I
hadn't caught her in the garden.

19
00:01:33,100 --> 00:01:35,160
Half of her face was black and blue.

20
00:01:36,270 --> 00:01:38,910
Told me she'd fallen over. You could see
the fist mark.

21
00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:40,690
Stennis beats his wife?

22
00:01:41,170 --> 00:01:42,350
The neighbor said so.

23
00:01:44,330 --> 00:01:46,330
It's quite usual for them to quarrel.

24
00:01:47,490 --> 00:01:49,150
And he runs around with other women.

25
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:51,590
I can vouch for that myself.

26
00:01:52,190 --> 00:01:53,190
Thanks to you.

27
00:01:54,190 --> 00:01:55,950
Zena's doing a job, that's all.

28
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:57,350
I hope you're right.

29
00:01:57,810 --> 00:01:59,830
She seems to enjoy too much for a job.

30
00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:04,370
I think they are going to split up.

31
00:02:05,550 --> 00:02:06,650
The son had left home.

32
00:02:06,890 --> 00:02:08,810
They have nothing to stay together for.

33
00:02:09,449 --> 00:02:11,110
Except office rules and regulations.

34
00:02:12,490 --> 00:02:14,090
KGB like happy families.

35
00:02:15,590 --> 00:02:17,670
I asked her what her husband did.

36
00:02:18,870 --> 00:02:20,990
What was his daily journey on the S
-Bahn.

37
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:24,510
She said he's an embassy official,
Russian.

38
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:28,950
I said I thought Russians have
chauffeurs to drive them to work.

39
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:30,750
That set her off.

40
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:34,070
About how he's being passed over for
promotion.

41
00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:37,390
Second motive.

42
00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:41,010
Fed up with his wife, fed up with his
job.

43
00:02:43,170 --> 00:02:44,170
It's all too neat.

44
00:02:46,290 --> 00:02:49,150
Suppose the KGB set all this up as a
cover story.

45
00:02:49,590 --> 00:02:50,710
Giving her a black eye.

46
00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:53,270
On the off chance I went knocking at the
door.

47
00:02:56,690 --> 00:03:03,430
How do I know Fiona's not second

48
00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:04,770
-guessing every move I make, huh?

49
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,080
How do I know she's not planting
Stennis?

50
00:03:08,940 --> 00:03:10,600
That's not the way it feels anymore.

51
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,700
London are negotiating with Stennis
through Frank Farrington and Zena.

52
00:03:16,060 --> 00:03:17,360
Shows how much they trust me.

53
00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:23,600
And they found Mackenzie.

54
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:27,360
And they're asking questions.

55
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:31,740
What did I tell you?

56
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,540
You break the rules, you dig yourself
deeper and deeper in.

57
00:03:37,290 --> 00:03:39,430
Now they'll find out I was down there
with you.

58
00:03:40,110 --> 00:03:42,490
Just when I'm working myself back with
the department.

59
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:52,910
Silesia.

60
00:03:53,450 --> 00:03:54,990
Silesian songs, Silesian food.

61
00:03:56,150 --> 00:03:57,150
Silesian nostalgia.

62
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:59,370
Berlin is a dustbin for refugees.

63
00:04:01,370 --> 00:04:02,970
Zena's family is just the same.

64
00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:07,530
Big reunions to tell the old stories and
remember the old farm.

65
00:04:08,230 --> 00:04:09,770
But Sena never saw any of that.

66
00:04:11,550 --> 00:04:13,450
Growing up with the stories as he even
wrote.

67
00:04:17,649 --> 00:04:19,329
God, what a pair we ended up with.

68
00:04:21,010 --> 00:04:22,890
Sena in love with a past that never
happened.

69
00:04:24,630 --> 00:04:26,890
Fiona in love with an ideology that
never existed.

70
00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:31,110
Sena's a child, Bernie.

71
00:04:33,260 --> 00:04:34,780
That's why I love her so much.

72
00:04:36,140 --> 00:04:37,920
She believes in all the fairy stories.

73
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:41,000
I don't want to lose her.

74
00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:45,820
I don't want her falling for Erich
Stinnes.

75
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,200
Listen, Werner, if she's falling for
anything, it's the quarter of a million

76
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,920
dollars London have offered him.

77
00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:06,800
I don't understand why you sent Werner
into the East.

78
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:09,260
I already know it all from Erich
himself.

79
00:05:09,780 --> 00:05:11,420
Like the fact he beats his wife?

80
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,100
I am your only contact with him.

81
00:05:15,580 --> 00:05:17,200
Things must be done as I say.

82
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:32,260
How many times?

83
00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:34,900
Did you see Stennis whilst I was over
the wall?

84
00:05:36,620 --> 00:05:37,620
Once here.

85
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,560
And once in the east.

86
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,660
You went into the east?

87
00:05:43,580 --> 00:05:44,620
Are you crazy?

88
00:05:45,620 --> 00:05:48,380
Harry phoned to say he had two tickets
for the opera.

89
00:05:49,820 --> 00:05:51,620
He seemed to know you were not at home.

90
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,860
He sent a car.

91
00:05:55,340 --> 00:05:59,160
I was worried it might drive up to the
door with the Russian army driver in

92
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,160
uniform.

93
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,820
Or a hammer and take a flag out of a
bonnet.

94
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,640
Erich Dennis is not a polite and
cultured gentleman. He likes to pretend

95
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,360
What if he'd held you hostage?

96
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,120
Promises, promises.

97
00:06:15,780 --> 00:06:16,780
It's not funny.

98
00:06:17,180 --> 00:06:18,180
It could have happened.

99
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,540
I can't handle Erich Stinnes.

100
00:06:34,180 --> 00:06:37,420
I understand Erich better than you men
will ever understand him.

101
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,860
You should ask a woman to help.

102
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:42,820
If you really want to understand a man
like that.

103
00:06:47,020 --> 00:06:48,640
I understand him all right.

104
00:06:56,260 --> 00:06:58,180
Perhaps I understand him too well.

105
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,800
They did know you were over there.

106
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,380
Now, are you sure that you weren't
tailed when you spoke to his wife?

107
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,280
What difference would it make now?

108
00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:16,300
Whether we believe what she told you.

109
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:20,520
She didn't fake a black eye, Bernie.

110
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,200
Zena, did Stenis ever talk about his
family?

111
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,720
He complained about his wife.

112
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,900
And the fact his son's left home.

113
00:07:39,140 --> 00:07:40,760
He just has the one.

114
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:42,560
Nineteen years old.

115
00:07:43,620 --> 00:07:45,520
He's come back to his mother in Moscow.

116
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:50,100
His what?

117
00:07:50,940 --> 00:07:53,500
His son's come back to live with Zari's
first wife.

118
00:08:00,660 --> 00:08:03,080
Perhaps you'll let me manage things my
way now.

119
00:08:03,980 --> 00:08:05,600
How long ago was his first wife?

120
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,680
They separated almost as soon as they
had the child.

121
00:08:10,940 --> 00:08:13,580
The boy did his last two years at school
in East Berlin.

122
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,520
He got very good marks, but he couldn't
get into university.

123
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:19,680
Erich was furious.

124
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:21,720
How furious?

125
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:23,960
Very furious.

126
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,720
It's hardly a motive to defect, is it?

127
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,520
He won't see me here anymore.

128
00:08:32,270 --> 00:08:33,549
He feels very exposed.

129
00:08:34,549 --> 00:08:35,750
He's not the only one.

130
00:08:36,330 --> 00:08:38,530
He won't see me until he's back in
Mexico.

131
00:08:40,750 --> 00:08:44,130
He will be there for five days to finish
what he was doing.

132
00:08:44,730 --> 00:08:50,150
He said, whatever happens will have to
happen out there and before the fifth

133
00:08:50,150 --> 00:08:51,150
day.

134
00:09:04,110 --> 00:09:05,110
Have you been hiding?

135
00:09:05,630 --> 00:09:10,090
Everybody is searching for you. Frank
Harrington, his driver, Mr. Tiptree.

136
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:12,510
He's out in the city streets looking for
you.

137
00:09:16,930 --> 00:09:19,410
Tell me, are you running away from
something?

138
00:09:21,450 --> 00:09:22,730
Perhaps they think I'm a spy.

139
00:09:23,390 --> 00:09:24,530
They think that?

140
00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:29,830
Are you pulling my leg, Liebchen?

141
00:09:34,030 --> 00:09:36,890
Come on, let's have a drink to good old
times.

142
00:09:42,350 --> 00:09:44,550
Instead of making bad moods, though.

143
00:10:05,670 --> 00:10:11,170
Berlin changes for you. You are no
longer easy here in your mind.

144
00:10:13,130 --> 00:10:14,130
Boy.

145
00:10:16,130 --> 00:10:17,550
Let's drink to the next time, huh?

146
00:10:18,410 --> 00:10:20,010
And the summer sun on the Wednesday.

147
00:10:20,290 --> 00:10:21,450
We'll have a picnic together.

148
00:10:22,070 --> 00:10:23,950
Like you used to with your wife and
children.

149
00:10:26,570 --> 00:10:28,610
When did you know something was wrong?

150
00:10:30,610 --> 00:10:32,110
Did you know before it happened?

151
00:10:35,050 --> 00:10:36,050
Did you?

152
00:10:36,990 --> 00:10:38,930
After all, she lived here for five
years.

153
00:10:46,510 --> 00:10:47,950
She carried your children?

154
00:10:54,210 --> 00:10:56,230
Yeah, I'm cold with you every single
day.

155
00:10:58,550 --> 00:11:00,270
You must admit you never liked her.

156
00:11:03,660 --> 00:11:04,700
And I'll tell you why.

157
00:11:05,260 --> 00:11:10,580
In 30 years, she was the only person who
ever complains to Liesl Hennig about

158
00:11:10,580 --> 00:11:11,580
her wounds.

159
00:11:12,620 --> 00:11:14,640
Well, everyone else was too frightened
to complain.

160
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:25,320
That was like divorce. The fault was on
both sides.

161
00:11:29,660 --> 00:11:31,160
If you are sad, Liebchen,

162
00:11:31,950 --> 00:11:33,470
Then she has defeated you.

163
00:11:35,670 --> 00:11:39,070
Your life is worth more than the regrets
she's left you with.

164
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,300
About bloody time, too.

165
00:12:13,860 --> 00:12:16,880
Our Berlin's been out looking for you
during the last 12 hours.

166
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,320
A one -way ticket to Paris, Samson.

167
00:12:23,380 --> 00:12:26,920
A man called Paul Biederman was arrested
at Charlie de Gaulle Airport last

168
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:27,920
night.

169
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:29,900
Arrested? What for?

170
00:12:30,220 --> 00:12:32,540
The unauthorized possession of
classified material.

171
00:12:33,060 --> 00:12:37,480
They ran his name and his passport
number through the computer and found

172
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,480
had NATO protection.

173
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:44,680
It appears that some bloody idiot in
London had put a sacred tab on him

174
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:45,760
referring it to committee.

175
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,580
The tab had your name on it.

176
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,880
What exactly has this got to do with
you, Tiptree? I mean, what particular

177
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:56,880
are you wearing today?

178
00:12:56,940 --> 00:12:58,220
I only possess one hat.

179
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,160
The FCO.

180
00:13:00,860 --> 00:13:03,040
Which sometimes doubles as internal
security.

181
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,160
Biederman was arrested in France.

182
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,380
France is not NATO, thus it becomes
Foreign Office Liaison.

183
00:13:12,980 --> 00:13:13,980
Me.

184
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,060
The French don't usually cooperate on
NATO matters.

185
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,320
They are this time.

186
00:13:19,940 --> 00:13:23,280
They're keeping him at the airport until
we can get one of our chaps out there

187
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,280
to check him out.

188
00:13:24,620 --> 00:13:27,260
I need hardly say you better take it
pretty carefully with the French.

189
00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:30,060
They're under no obligation to hand him
over.

190
00:13:30,820 --> 00:13:32,160
Or indeed to give you access.

191
00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:35,980
Toujours la politesse.

192
00:13:38,140 --> 00:13:39,460
That's what I always say, Samson.

193
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,480
Yeah, yeah.

194
00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:51,700
We'll be with it.

195
00:13:56,180 --> 00:13:57,820
Well, you know he has an American
passport.

196
00:13:58,500 --> 00:13:59,960
Did you tell the embassy?

197
00:14:03,780 --> 00:14:04,780
No.

198
00:14:05,340 --> 00:14:06,740
We thought we...

199
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
I should talk to you first.

200
00:14:09,060 --> 00:14:10,060
And me to him?

201
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,080
Oh, the coat.

202
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,460
Hang your coat on the camera and turn on
the ventilator if you don't want me to

203
00:14:17,460 --> 00:14:18,460
listen.

204
00:14:20,340 --> 00:14:21,340
Thanks.

205
00:14:41,580 --> 00:14:44,460
I actually was praying it would be you.
I said someone was coming from London.

206
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,239
Berlin, Paul.

207
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,440
I was doing everything you told me to
do. Low profile, being careful. Shh.

208
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,800
So, Paul, what's all this business about
you carrying submarine specifications?

209
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,460
I never saw it before in my life.

210
00:15:36,660 --> 00:15:37,880
What do I know about submarines?

211
00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:41,900
For Christ's sake, if the Russians want
information like that, they don't go to

212
00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:42,900
an amateur.

213
00:15:44,660 --> 00:15:45,060
The

214
00:15:45,060 --> 00:15:56,360
whole

215
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,400
day I've been in here.

216
00:15:59,660 --> 00:16:00,720
Where are you flying for?

217
00:16:02,380 --> 00:16:03,380
Rome.

218
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,040
Why are you in Paris?

219
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:06,880
Business.

220
00:16:08,180 --> 00:16:11,360
Currency transfers through the French
Margin Bank are perfectly legal.

221
00:16:11,740 --> 00:16:13,160
You arrived in Paris yesterday?

222
00:16:13,620 --> 00:16:14,940
Yes. Who knew you were coming?

223
00:16:15,780 --> 00:16:16,759
The bank.

224
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,760
No one else?

225
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,300
Who did you see in Mexico?

226
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:23,760
Moskvin.

227
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,360
You won't watch out for him.

228
00:16:28,140 --> 00:16:31,520
He is an evil bastard, that Marsh Queen,
I tell you.

229
00:16:33,620 --> 00:16:40,620
So, Paul, how did

230
00:16:40,620 --> 00:16:43,340
these papers come to find their way into
your briefcase?

231
00:16:44,660 --> 00:16:45,980
It's not my briefcase.

232
00:16:48,060 --> 00:16:51,380
I came to the airport in a taxi and went
to the Alitalia desk.

233
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,040
A man came running up, pushed the case
in my hands, and said I left it in the

234
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,040
taxi.

235
00:16:57,100 --> 00:16:58,100
And off you went.

236
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,740
And in these days, you don't fool around
in airports with baggage you don't

237
00:17:03,740 --> 00:17:07,660
know. So I called to the girl on the
desk to ring the police. Two seconds

238
00:17:07,740 --> 00:17:08,740
I was arrested.

239
00:17:11,020 --> 00:17:12,020
What's going on, Pat?

240
00:17:14,740 --> 00:17:16,640
Can you get me out of here, please?

241
00:17:28,109 --> 00:17:30,610
who forced the case on me, a way to get
me to work for you.

242
00:17:35,130 --> 00:17:37,130
Oh, dear.

243
00:17:40,730 --> 00:17:44,190
Deputy Chief, before German death in
London, I wouldn't have the faintest

244
00:17:44,190 --> 00:17:45,190
what to do with you.

245
00:17:45,670 --> 00:17:47,290
Except throw your credit cards out to
lunch.

246
00:17:50,390 --> 00:17:52,670
But why would the Russians do it?

247
00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:54,590
Why, indeed.

248
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,160
I wouldn't forget if you get me out of
here.

249
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,200
Don't worry, Paul.

250
00:18:06,420 --> 00:18:09,600
With the kind of bank balance you've
got, neither would I.

251
00:18:18,980 --> 00:18:20,840
Excuse me. Could you let me out, please?

252
00:18:22,980 --> 00:18:23,980
Merci.

253
00:18:27,140 --> 00:18:28,140
Sorry?

254
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,380
For Mr. Biderman.

255
00:19:00,780 --> 00:19:01,780
Emile Theodore.

256
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,200
After Pascal Marti. There, it's the
Corsican stories.

257
00:19:07,460 --> 00:19:10,320
Dominique Sampieri, Pascal Marti, with
an I at the end.

258
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,200
Well, we put them both in a GT.

259
00:19:15,020 --> 00:19:19,300
And you ask the central for the 54 AM
1523.

260
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,600
I also remind you for Anne -Christine
Ballereau.

261
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,240
And her girlfriend Julie Lamour.

262
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:29,620
Julie Lamour is the M .O .R.

263
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,780
Do you make your conclusion already?

264
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,200
The briefcase was clearly planted.

265
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,680
Why so clearly?

266
00:19:46,340 --> 00:19:47,800
I know Paul.

267
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,880
He spent most of his life lying.

268
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,220
It becomes painfully obvious when he
actually tells the truth.

269
00:20:01,350 --> 00:20:03,210
Planted by whom? For what reason?

270
00:20:04,110 --> 00:20:06,650
For all I know, to embarrass the French
authorities in some way.

271
00:20:09,090 --> 00:20:10,090
Oh,

272
00:20:14,770 --> 00:20:16,470
would you like maybe another coffee?

273
00:20:16,770 --> 00:20:18,710
Here's a Grand Creme, like you just sent
your prisoner.

274
00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:23,930
What are you talking about?

275
00:20:24,890 --> 00:20:26,990
When the plague is sent down...

276
00:20:27,820 --> 00:20:30,800
Thank you. Thank you.

277
00:21:49,230 --> 00:21:50,570
Just a few papers to sign.

278
00:21:51,690 --> 00:21:55,150
French Embassy would like a written
statement to say that your friend, Mr.

279
00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:57,630
Biederman, didn't die as a result of
French police brutality.

280
00:21:58,690 --> 00:22:04,310
And they also require your voluntary
assent to attend a post -mortem, should

281
00:22:04,310 --> 00:22:05,310
become necessary.

282
00:22:06,210 --> 00:22:08,870
And we'd like a chronology of the facts
for our own files.

283
00:22:09,410 --> 00:22:13,410
So if you'd like to confirm that Mr.
Biederman died from poison in a cup of

284
00:22:13,410 --> 00:22:14,750
coffee given to him by you.

285
00:22:21,420 --> 00:22:22,420
Philip Gordon.

286
00:22:42,740 --> 00:22:43,860
My God.

287
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,140
Bad news travels fast.

288
00:22:50,570 --> 00:22:51,570
You're a bloody fool.

289
00:22:52,610 --> 00:22:54,590
Twice. You break the rules.

290
00:22:56,090 --> 00:22:58,190
Now you wonder why they throw the book
at you.

291
00:22:59,530 --> 00:23:01,230
Except this time someone set me up.

292
00:23:02,050 --> 00:23:06,350
Fiona? Why should she play such an
elaborate game? To discredit you?

293
00:23:07,010 --> 00:23:08,330
Why not just knock you off?

294
00:23:09,150 --> 00:23:11,850
Perhaps my wife has scruples about
killing the father of her children.

295
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:18,430
Besides, Fiona never could resist an
intellectual challenge.

296
00:23:19,410 --> 00:23:20,410
Like you.

297
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,120
Sit down there when I'm beaten.

298
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:26,660
Well, thanks a lot.

299
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:31,980
My wife's been playing the come -on game
with sinners in Mexico and Berlin for

300
00:23:31,980 --> 00:23:32,980
you.

301
00:23:33,540 --> 00:23:35,160
And now you say you're beaten?

302
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,080
Where is Tina?

303
00:23:38,980 --> 00:23:39,980
Waiting in the airport.

304
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:42,760
She didn't fancy meeting you.

305
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:47,560
So you're on your way then?

306
00:23:49,900 --> 00:23:51,000
Flight out in two hours.

307
00:23:52,780 --> 00:23:55,060
Tomorrow we are back in Mexico with
Stinners.

308
00:23:56,740 --> 00:23:58,040
Get it in your thick head.

309
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,560
I'm going for Stinners.

310
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,920
And you better be right there behind me.

311
00:24:05,020 --> 00:24:10,740
And when Stinners wants to bargain, you
better have some answers.

312
00:24:17,140 --> 00:24:18,240
Otherwise, old friend,

313
00:24:19,050 --> 00:24:20,090
Take Frank's advice.

314
00:24:21,370 --> 00:24:24,930
If you are a Russian agent, now's the
time to walk.

315
00:24:30,950 --> 00:24:33,570
Do you think she was ever genuinely
pure?

316
00:24:35,450 --> 00:24:38,790
Uncle Silas said you'd just come back
from doing something very dangerous.

317
00:24:40,190 --> 00:24:42,810
Well, that sort of thing's very
dangerous when something goes wrong.

318
00:24:45,390 --> 00:24:46,630
Say that about everything.

319
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:56,580
Uncle Silas said you'd be feeling like
you'd been on a high in perception,

320
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,320
low in spirit.

321
00:25:05,140 --> 00:25:07,160
You gave Biedemann a sacred tab.

322
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:20,240
To the means of cover, in case we needed
him as an approach to Stimis.

323
00:25:20,620 --> 00:25:21,800
Why didn't you clear it through
committee?

324
00:25:22,180 --> 00:25:23,860
I was only here for a few days.

325
00:25:24,100 --> 00:25:26,940
The committee meets once a month if it's
lucky.

326
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,200
Now you tell us Biederman was a KGB
agent himself.

327
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,200
Is that why you tagged him?

328
00:25:34,260 --> 00:25:35,580
He was hardly an agent.

329
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,760
He was used for finance.

330
00:25:38,740 --> 00:25:40,000
Maybe courier work.

331
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,060
I dare say they used his house in Mexico
and his boat.

332
00:25:44,460 --> 00:25:47,580
He was a very small piece of the KGB
machinery.

333
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:49,480
He was carrying secrets.

334
00:25:50,110 --> 00:25:51,570
That was a very crude plant.

335
00:25:53,250 --> 00:25:56,710
Generalized material covering a whole
lot of NATO countries and third world

336
00:25:56,710 --> 00:25:59,230
countries. The secrets were important
enough for him to be killed.

337
00:26:00,090 --> 00:26:02,350
He was killed to incriminate me.

338
00:26:02,610 --> 00:26:06,530
That's how expendable he was. That
doesn't change the fact that it was your

339
00:26:06,530 --> 00:26:07,670
of coffee that killed him.

340
00:26:09,950 --> 00:26:13,010
I think if the French had any doubts
about that, they wouldn't have let me

341
00:26:13,190 --> 00:26:16,530
Another theory is that Biederman was
about to blow the whistle on you. And

342
00:26:16,530 --> 00:26:17,830
left you no alternative.

343
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,740
Look, we could go on picking stories out
of a hat all day, trying to figure out

344
00:26:21,740 --> 00:26:24,920
Biedermann's role in all of this,
instead of acknowledging that there's

345
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,400
in East Berlin laughing at the script
she herself has written for this

346
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,280
Fiona.

347
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,320
Come on, brother, that's absurd.

348
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:33,859
Oh, I don't know.

349
00:26:33,860 --> 00:26:37,200
I think we'd be delighted to have the
KGB floundering around like this, trying

350
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,440
to find out who's on which side.

351
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:39,740
We're not floundering.

352
00:26:40,860 --> 00:26:42,500
We're examining permutations.

353
00:26:44,420 --> 00:26:45,500
Thank you, Mr. Tiptree.

354
00:26:59,019 --> 00:27:03,340
Your wife was a KGB agent passing
information to Moscow.

355
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,340
The questions we want to ask Stinnes
concern your role in that operation.

356
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,800
There are some people in this building
who have always thought that you and

357
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,800
Fiona were working together as a team
and that you yourself tipped her off in

358
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,220
good enough time for her to get out.

359
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,600
But when she ran, I was already in East
Berlin.

360
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,100
Why would I bother to come back and put
my head in the noose?

361
00:27:24,430 --> 00:27:28,310
That's the cunning of it. What guilty
man would come running back to the

362
00:27:28,310 --> 00:27:29,310
department he betrayed?

363
00:27:29,610 --> 00:27:33,130
It's the most ingenious defense you
could have contrived. And what's more,

364
00:27:33,230 --> 00:27:35,730
Bernard, it's very you.

365
00:27:36,290 --> 00:27:37,290
Very me?

366
00:27:37,550 --> 00:27:38,550
Still your own breath?

367
00:27:39,610 --> 00:27:40,610
Hypothesis.

368
00:27:41,110 --> 00:27:42,110
Double bluff.

369
00:27:43,510 --> 00:27:45,690
You're one of the very few people who
could carry it off.

370
00:27:46,350 --> 00:27:47,690
You're cool, Bernard.

371
00:27:47,990 --> 00:27:49,070
Very cool.

372
00:27:53,620 --> 00:27:54,620
Even today.

373
00:27:56,500 --> 00:27:58,620
You can invent some wonderful plots,
Brent.

374
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,760
But you're overlooking the fact that I
was the one who flushed my wife out in

375
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:04,760
the first place.

376
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,720
She was a burned -out case.

377
00:28:11,580 --> 00:28:12,680
She'd run her course.

378
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,840
Moscow said, bring her home and told you
to blow the whistle on her.

379
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,880
Which makes you golden boy back here in
London Central.

380
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,660
Well placed to carry on her good work.

381
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:35,600
Well, since my duplicity was so bloody
obvious, why wasn't I arrested as soon

382
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:36,600
I got back here?

383
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:37,840
Insufficient evidence.

384
00:28:38,740 --> 00:28:41,280
We wanted to see what you'd do about
enrolling Stinnis.

385
00:28:43,100 --> 00:28:45,100
Give you the rope to hang yourself.

386
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Hypothesis.

387
00:28:50,990 --> 00:28:51,990
Right, Dickie?

388
00:28:52,210 --> 00:28:57,690
I've always said there was insufficient
evidence to justify any action against

389
00:28:57,690 --> 00:28:58,690
Bernard.

390
00:28:58,730 --> 00:29:01,550
I want to make that quite clear to
everyone around this table.

391
00:29:02,570 --> 00:29:07,050
I mean, according to your scenario,
Brad, if Bernard doesn't manage to turn

392
00:29:07,050 --> 00:29:08,470
Stinnis, then that proves his guilt.

393
00:29:09,570 --> 00:29:10,570
Positively medieval.

394
00:29:10,910 --> 00:29:14,410
Throw the accused into a lake, and if he
comes up, he's guilty, so you execute

395
00:29:14,410 --> 00:29:15,710
him. Wonderful.

396
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:26,740
already. Oh, thank you.

397
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,020
Would it be accurate to say that you
suggest that Fiona or the KGB or both

398
00:29:33,020 --> 00:29:36,900
intend to feed us Stinnis as a
disinformation plant?

399
00:29:40,380 --> 00:29:44,040
I doubt if he would sustain a prolonged
interrogation.

400
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,780
I believe the first motive was and still
is to get me to run.

401
00:29:49,380 --> 00:29:50,380
Run?

402
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,040
Run where?

403
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,120
Moscow, Brett.

404
00:29:55,690 --> 00:29:58,510
That sounds like a piece of fancy
Samsung footwork to me.

405
00:29:59,110 --> 00:30:00,110
I disagree.

406
00:30:01,590 --> 00:30:04,970
It'd be worth a lot of them to have
Bernard there, asking for political

407
00:30:05,790 --> 00:30:11,110
I think we have to take into account the
way Bernard stayed here and faced the

408
00:30:11,110 --> 00:30:12,110
music.

409
00:30:12,190 --> 00:30:18,450
Speaking as director of establishment in
this office, I'd say he had precious

410
00:30:18,450 --> 00:30:19,450
little alternatives.

411
00:30:19,830 --> 00:30:23,730
I happen to know he had several
opportunities this last month. Make a

412
00:30:23,730 --> 00:30:24,730
it, I so wished.

413
00:30:25,260 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaking, that is, as Berlin resident.

414
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:28,760
In Berlin.

415
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:37,140
So, according to you, this whole
shambles is an elaborate plot by Fiona

416
00:30:37,140 --> 00:30:41,400
entice you back to the conjugal bed in
Berlin or Moscow.

417
00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:45,820
Couldn't that be just your wishful
thinking?

418
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,660
Or maybe even your paranoia.

419
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,880
I'm not paranoid, Brett. I'm being
persecuted.

420
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,700
Persecuted? It's a joke, Brett.

421
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,800
A very old Anglo -Saxon joke.

422
00:30:59,060 --> 00:31:00,060
Well,

423
00:31:00,340 --> 00:31:02,060
it's not so much a question of conjugal
bed.

424
00:31:03,660 --> 00:31:06,900
I mean, if Bernard scarpers, he'll take
the kids. That's the whole point, isn't

425
00:31:06,900 --> 00:31:08,880
it? You know how desperate she is to get
them back.

426
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,640
Just as we know only too well how much
we're having to pay for their

427
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:18,380
Can I ask, Bernard, has Fiona been in
direct touch with you or are you with

428
00:31:20,380 --> 00:31:21,380
She rang the children.

429
00:31:21,980 --> 00:31:23,380
That incident was reported.

430
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,600
We're interested in unreported
incidents.

431
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,980
Last Saturday, you were approached
outside your house by a West Indian

432
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:40,620
When a car tried to follow you with the
nurse, two other vehicles deliberately

433
00:31:40,620 --> 00:31:42,280
balked at the chalk farm lights.

434
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,640
I'd hate to think of the times I've been
carved up deliberately on Haverstock

435
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:49,640
Hill of a Saturday morning.

436
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,520
Who was the nurse?

437
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,240
A neighbor.

438
00:31:55,050 --> 00:31:56,710
He had a friend working at the airport.

439
00:31:57,390 --> 00:32:00,150
Someone who was prepared to help out
with the children.

440
00:32:00,770 --> 00:32:02,170
She was taking me to meet her.

441
00:32:02,530 --> 00:32:03,930
Perhaps you'd let me have some names.

442
00:32:04,870 --> 00:32:08,770
Whatever form it has taken, this was
meant to be a departmental meeting.

443
00:32:10,010 --> 00:32:14,870
I shall object very strongly if it turns
into a cross -examination in its

444
00:32:14,870 --> 00:32:15,870
present form.

445
00:32:17,550 --> 00:32:18,690
I go along with that.

446
00:32:19,450 --> 00:32:21,090
Bernard is a member of my staff.

447
00:32:21,890 --> 00:32:23,750
There are certain procedures to go
through.

448
00:32:24,170 --> 00:32:26,130
If anyone's making other than
hypothetical accusations.

449
00:32:28,150 --> 00:32:34,230
Is there in your mind any connection
between what we've been discussing so

450
00:32:34,230 --> 00:32:38,110
and the death of Julian McKenzie?

451
00:32:39,050 --> 00:32:41,250
What was he doing for you at the time of
his death?

452
00:32:48,310 --> 00:32:50,090
I don't know the time of his death.

453
00:32:52,270 --> 00:32:55,290
I understand you gave this McKenzie
quite a few jobs to do.

454
00:32:56,250 --> 00:32:57,250
In the field.

455
00:32:59,170 --> 00:33:00,890
There were more errands than jobs.

456
00:33:01,250 --> 00:33:02,250
Not like you.

457
00:33:03,730 --> 00:33:05,090
Do you use a probationer?

458
00:33:05,450 --> 00:33:08,590
Yes, you're the one who's always
complaining about the lack of

459
00:33:09,130 --> 00:33:11,250
You're the one who won't tolerate
amateurism.

460
00:33:12,770 --> 00:33:13,830
He was keen.

461
00:33:16,690 --> 00:33:21,110
He didn't mind using his spare time
without expecting any extra payment for

462
00:33:23,980 --> 00:33:28,540
He'd stand in the rain all bloody night
without asking any questions about the

463
00:33:28,540 --> 00:33:29,940
premises he was supposed to be watching.

464
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:38,820
Go down the municipal offices and spend
hours rummaging around in boxes of old

465
00:33:38,820 --> 00:33:40,420
birth certificates and voters' papers.

466
00:33:41,500 --> 00:33:47,740
And because he was particularly rude and
badly dressed, he had no trouble in

467
00:33:47,740 --> 00:33:52,040
persuading anybody that he worked as a
reporter in one of our great national

468
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,040
newspapers.

469
00:33:54,870 --> 00:33:56,190
That's why I used him.

470
00:34:00,410 --> 00:34:01,710
And that's why I liked him.

471
00:34:02,770 --> 00:34:05,990
But you've no idea what he was doing in
one of the department's safe houses.

472
00:34:06,490 --> 00:34:07,850
Oh, we all know what he's doing.

473
00:34:09,570 --> 00:34:14,210
It's like they're dead for seven days
before some member of our highly paid

474
00:34:14,210 --> 00:34:16,790
housekeeping department even bothered to
check the premises.

475
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:20,409
Yeah, well, they've been shafted. We'll
have no more trouble than those lazy

476
00:34:20,409 --> 00:34:21,409
sons of bitches.

477
00:34:21,530 --> 00:34:25,219
Oh. That'll be a great comfort to me the
next time I'm in a safe house and sit

478
00:34:25,219 --> 00:34:29,020
in a chair so that some cagey bee hood
can stick a .44 Magnum in the back of my

479
00:34:29,020 --> 00:34:30,020
neck.

480
00:34:31,860 --> 00:34:33,679
How do you know what kind of weapon it
was?

481
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:36,760
Not to say the way it was used.

482
00:34:39,940 --> 00:34:40,940
I told him.

483
00:34:41,699 --> 00:34:42,699
In Berlin.

484
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,340
And I repeat again, this is not meant to
be a murder trial.

485
00:34:48,060 --> 00:34:51,000
No one's trying to blame you for
Mackenzie's death, Bernard.

486
00:34:51,900 --> 00:34:55,380
Just Biedermann's. Well, that's nice to
know. We're simply trying to get at the

487
00:34:55,380 --> 00:34:56,380
truth.

488
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,660
I'll try this one on for size.

489
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:10,180
Suppose my slow and careful way of
enrolling Stinneys is the best way.

490
00:35:13,620 --> 00:35:18,160
Suppose there are some members of the
department here in London who would like

491
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,480
to see my attempt end in failure.

492
00:35:20,780 --> 00:35:24,340
So they hurry headlong into rape, when
we're talking about seduction.

493
00:35:24,940 --> 00:35:28,660
Throwing quarter of a million dollar
offers at Stennis to scare the trousers

494
00:35:28,660 --> 00:35:31,280
him, all because they'd rather he stayed
his side of the wire.

495
00:35:32,820 --> 00:35:34,360
Let me hear that again.

496
00:35:35,740 --> 00:35:37,220
You heard me, Brett.

497
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,800
If Stennis goes into the debriefing
center as I want him, relaxed and

498
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,580
cooperative, he'll sing.

499
00:35:49,290 --> 00:35:53,210
Apart from anything else, he'll think
about every screwed up mission we've

500
00:35:53,210 --> 00:35:54,930
to put together over the last ten years.

501
00:35:55,270 --> 00:35:59,030
And that could mean a lot of egg yolk
and a lot of faces all the way around

502
00:35:59,030 --> 00:36:00,030
London Central.

503
00:36:00,230 --> 00:36:02,070
You include me in that sweeping
statement?

504
00:36:03,830 --> 00:36:04,830
I don't know, Brett.

505
00:36:05,230 --> 00:36:06,230
Consult your analyst.

506
00:36:06,410 --> 00:36:07,410
I deal in facts.

507
00:36:07,530 --> 00:36:09,110
Don't you talk to me like that!

508
00:36:09,570 --> 00:36:11,970
I'll talk to you anyway, I want money,
boy!

509
00:36:17,089 --> 00:36:21,290
I'm the file officer on the Stennis
investigation, unless anyone's

510
00:36:21,290 --> 00:36:22,290
that.

511
00:36:23,830 --> 00:36:27,790
You may have given me a couple of
minders and rigged this kangaroo court

512
00:36:27,790 --> 00:36:31,450
intimidate me, but I hold power of
attorney on that file until the DG

513
00:36:31,450 --> 00:36:32,450
withdraws it.

514
00:36:33,850 --> 00:36:37,570
I've been on the other side of that
wall, Brett, where intimidation is done

515
00:36:37,570 --> 00:36:40,470
experts, so you don't frighten me one
itsy little bit.

516
00:36:40,690 --> 00:36:42,690
And this pantomime has been staged.

517
00:36:43,190 --> 00:36:46,770
to make me abandon the Stinnis
investigation, then all I can say is

518
00:36:46,770 --> 00:36:48,690
colossal waste of time and money.

519
00:36:49,090 --> 00:36:53,370
Because I intend to gather Mr. Stinnis
for you, to bring him back to London,

520
00:36:53,370 --> 00:36:55,350
to make him sing like a red canary.

521
00:36:58,510 --> 00:37:04,590
Now, gentlemen, I have a previous
appointment with the Director General,

522
00:37:04,590 --> 00:37:06,930
travel warrant for him to sign to
Mexico.

523
00:37:09,210 --> 00:37:11,770
And if anybody wants to change his mind,

524
00:37:13,630 --> 00:37:15,970
Then I suggest he walks out of that door
ahead of me.

525
00:37:32,170 --> 00:37:33,850
Make too many enemies, laddie.

526
00:37:34,690 --> 00:37:35,990
I said what needed saying.

527
00:37:36,930 --> 00:37:38,070
You said it very well.

528
00:37:39,050 --> 00:37:40,870
Brett went home to change his underwear.

529
00:37:41,310 --> 00:37:42,310
Oh, that'll be the day.

530
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,440
You're inclined to the overkill.

531
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:54,640
Is that a warning?

532
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:56,940
Advice. Fatherly advice.

533
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:58,860
Not to guard my tongue.

534
00:38:01,900 --> 00:38:04,140
I enjoyed the way you scared them half
to death in there.

535
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,880
They know how easily you can make fools
of them.

536
00:38:12,070 --> 00:38:14,730
Brett, never forget the way you
described his visit to Berlin.

537
00:38:16,770 --> 00:38:17,770
Checkpoint, Charlie.

538
00:38:19,190 --> 00:38:22,990
Did he really sneak a peep over the
wall, hiding behind a party of tourists?

539
00:38:25,950 --> 00:38:30,990
He saw an East German border guard
looking at him through a pair of

540
00:38:31,950 --> 00:38:38,150
And he turned round so bloody fast he
fell down the steps. I promise you.

541
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:45,520
Just a time, Bernard.

542
00:38:46,940 --> 00:38:49,100
You can't antagonize a whole room full
of people.

543
00:38:50,980 --> 00:38:52,840
Sooner or later, they'll gang up on you.

544
00:39:13,410 --> 00:39:14,670
Everything's very quiet today.

545
00:39:14,970 --> 00:39:15,970
No one around.

546
00:39:17,570 --> 00:39:18,570
Thought it was Sunday.

547
00:39:20,130 --> 00:39:21,130
Departmental meeting, sir.

548
00:39:22,270 --> 00:39:23,450
Someone in trouble, I suppose.

549
00:39:26,170 --> 00:39:27,170
Better now, is it?

550
00:39:30,170 --> 00:39:31,170
Clearly, yes, sir.

551
00:39:32,010 --> 00:39:33,010
Precisely.

552
00:39:33,290 --> 00:39:34,370
That's what meetings are for.

553
00:39:37,370 --> 00:39:39,830
Well, you're going to Mexico about this
Russian.

554
00:39:45,060 --> 00:39:46,760
Trouble warrant for your signature, sir.

555
00:39:51,860 --> 00:39:55,780
Is this, um... Steiner's worth the
trouble?

556
00:39:57,300 --> 00:39:58,840
Wasn't he your idea in the first place?

557
00:39:59,140 --> 00:40:00,280
I want to know what you think.

558
00:40:01,460 --> 00:40:04,180
Not those desk jockeys in there.

559
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:11,960
If he's genuine... he's the biggest and
best affection we've ever had.

560
00:40:14,570 --> 00:40:19,250
It must occur to you from time to time,
Samson, that you'd be just as useful to

561
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:20,250
them.

562
00:40:22,170 --> 00:40:23,630
We need to score, Euro.

563
00:40:25,010 --> 00:40:26,290
No more near misses.

564
00:40:35,230 --> 00:40:36,230
Thank you, sir.

565
00:40:37,470 --> 00:40:40,450
Did you see this, uh, McKenzie body?

566
00:40:46,220 --> 00:40:48,680
We don't always put everything into the
report, do we?

567
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:20,200
Did you see Mummy?

568
00:41:22,460 --> 00:41:27,060
Lily, I'm afraid we can't go home just
yet because I've got to go away again.

569
00:41:27,300 --> 00:41:28,300
See Mummy?

570
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,740
No. Doris is shopping. She left her gun
at home.

571
00:41:32,980 --> 00:41:36,720
You can always tell she's back here and
she carries it. You are.

572
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,100
Mummy doesn't telephone anymore.

573
00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:42,600
When can we go home?

574
00:41:46,190 --> 00:41:47,190
Next week.

575
00:41:47,390 --> 00:41:48,450
Where are you going?

576
00:41:50,250 --> 00:41:52,030
Mexico, for exactly five days.

577
00:41:53,550 --> 00:41:55,590
Race you down the hill. Give you three
seconds.

578
00:41:56,330 --> 00:41:59,890
One, two... Hello. Bernie.

579
00:42:02,310 --> 00:42:05,430
Silas was looking for you. He wanted a
chat, but not in the office.

580
00:42:05,810 --> 00:42:07,990
He's at our new flat with George.

581
00:42:11,530 --> 00:42:12,950
I'm afraid, darling...

582
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:16,420
George is convinced that you and I are
having a passionate affair.

583
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:17,920
What?

584
00:42:19,380 --> 00:42:21,060
You must have caught my wishful
thinking.

585
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,220
Cost George a pretty penny, this place.

586
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,420
I gather you're meant to be renting or
buying something yourself.

587
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:52,840
A bed sit?

588
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:54,920
Without the children?

589
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,120
Tessa told me.

590
00:43:00,860 --> 00:43:02,940
Tessa should keep a pretty little mouth
shut.

591
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:06,520
Remarkable pair of sisters.

592
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,080
One with a KGB.

593
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,160
One by all accounts.

594
00:43:12,870 --> 00:43:14,610
Sleeping her way through Whitehall.

595
00:43:16,950 --> 00:43:19,450
They really were good girls, though.

596
00:43:26,510 --> 00:43:28,050
You're out on a limb, Bernard.

597
00:43:29,510 --> 00:43:32,050
I can't do much to help you in London
office.

598
00:43:32,930 --> 00:43:35,010
D .G. has backed you so far.

599
00:43:36,450 --> 00:43:40,150
Cut off your arms and legs if he even
begins to think he's wrong.

600
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,620
Best you don't encourage such thoughts.

601
00:43:45,340 --> 00:43:50,240
After 30 years, even you're not sure,
are you, Silas?

602
00:43:50,460 --> 00:43:52,860
After 30 years, I thought I knew Fiona.

603
00:43:54,140 --> 00:43:56,200
I still believe I do know you.

604
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,740
Don't isolate yourself.

605
00:44:09,420 --> 00:44:14,280
The human race may not seem very
dignified, but you'll need one or two of

606
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:15,280
before you're through.

607
00:44:34,500 --> 00:44:36,300
This is quite a place you've got here,
George.

608
00:44:37,060 --> 00:44:38,060
Don't you start.

609
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,860
I get enough of this from our mutual
father -in -law.

610
00:44:41,940 --> 00:44:42,940
Please.

611
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:51,200
He's after you, Bernie.

612
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:53,280
He wants your children.

613
00:44:56,460 --> 00:44:58,240
Tessa wants a white carpet in here.

614
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,320
Oh, that'll be very elegant.

615
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,080
Look, I do have to say how grateful I am
to Tess for...

616
00:45:08,490 --> 00:45:09,730
Watching the kids while I'm away.

617
00:45:10,350 --> 00:45:11,570
It's very good of you to let her.

618
00:45:13,350 --> 00:45:14,490
She doesn't ask, Bernie.

619
00:45:15,610 --> 00:45:18,610
I just assume she's looking after your
children when she's not at home.

620
00:45:19,530 --> 00:45:23,550
Well, she really has been a great help
since Fiona left.

621
00:45:26,770 --> 00:45:29,370
But I wouldn't want you to get the wrong
idea, George.

622
00:45:30,490 --> 00:45:31,570
Wrong idea, Bernie?

623
00:45:32,390 --> 00:45:33,610
What would be the wrong idea?

624
00:45:49,070 --> 00:45:50,590
I'm not sleeping with your wife, George.

625
00:45:52,910 --> 00:45:54,450
And I have no plans to try.

626
00:46:03,710 --> 00:46:05,350
That's all Tessa drinks these days.

627
00:46:08,490 --> 00:46:11,850
She's costing me a couple of hundred
quid a week feeling bubbly. Talk.

628
00:46:12,810 --> 00:46:14,510
Cheers. Cheers, George.

629
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,500
The feeling is dire, I suppose, Bernie.

630
00:46:21,580 --> 00:46:24,620
What else would they do with a woman
that's so consistently unfaithful?

631
00:46:25,620 --> 00:46:27,500
It's not as if she's ever attempted to
hide it.

632
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:33,380
You see, the trouble with being a
Catholic is you can't admit a mistake

633
00:46:33,380 --> 00:46:34,380
change your mind.

634
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:41,980
No, I'm... Tessa loves you, George. I'm
absolutely sure that she always has.

635
00:46:42,140 --> 00:46:43,640
She's a damn funny way of showing it.

636
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,760
Let's face it, we're both in a bit of a
mess, aren't we?

637
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,120
Our mutual father -in -law.

638
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,020
He seems to think it's your fault Fiona
skipped it.

639
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,420
I imagine instead she'd planned it ever
since she climbed out of the cradle and

640
00:47:00,420 --> 00:47:01,440
saw him standing there.

641
00:47:05,220 --> 00:47:08,320
Did you see that pink Rolls Royce
outside?

642
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:10,300
Yeah.

643
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,140
I'm delivering that later this evening.

644
00:47:13,220 --> 00:47:15,380
£70 ,000 worth of motor car.

645
00:47:16,279 --> 00:47:18,360
My markup's 15 ,000 pounds.

646
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:20,320
Succeed.

647
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,160
As it goes, it's time you had another
car, Bernie.

648
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:26,400
Something with a little oomph.

649
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:28,900
I'll keep my eye open for you.
