Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:19,029 --> 00:00:23,821
The only way we'll know when and at
what targets a nuclear button will be pressed
2
00:00:23,909 --> 00:00:26,234
is by electronic espionage-
3
00:00:26,328 --> 00:00:29,364
That�s what makes it so appalling
that Dodgson,
4
00:00:29,456 --> 00:00:33,039
a self-confessed and convicted Soviet agent,
5
00:00:33,126 --> 00:00:36,412
was able to hold a position of trust here
for ten years.
6
00:00:37,297 --> 00:00:39,870
It must not happen again.
7
00:00:39,966 --> 00:00:44,878
Each of you, not only section heads,
but each and every one of you,
8
00:00:44,971 --> 00:00:49,764
has simply got to report oddities of behaviour
among your colleagues,
9
00:00:49,851 --> 00:00:54,478
strange events or anything else
that strikes you as out of the ordinary.
10
00:00:54,564 --> 00:00:59,985
It�s not only your jobs that are at risk,
it�s the survival of the free world.
11
00:04:32,824 --> 00:04:36,193
Did you spy
for the Russians for ten years?
12
00:04:36,286 --> 00:04:38,444
Yes.
13
00:04:38,538 --> 00:04:42,832
Did you watch kiddy-porn videos
with Stephen Kedge?
14
00:04:42,918 --> 00:04:44,994
Yes.
15
00:04:45,087 --> 00:04:51,041
Does the photograph that I�ve just shown you
contain Allen Goodburn?
16
00:04:51,134 --> 00:04:52,249
Yes.
17
00:04:52,344 --> 00:04:56,258
Did you sometimes see him socially
with his wife Cynthia?
18
00:04:56,348 --> 00:04:59,515
Get this thing off me!
19
00:04:59,601 --> 00:05:02,685
Mr Dodgson,
20
00:05:02,771 --> 00:05:08,145
you�ve already told me this machine
is no better than a fortune-teller at a fair.
21
00:05:08,235 --> 00:05:12,398
I mean, if it�s junk, what�s your problem?
22
00:05:12,489 --> 00:05:16,403
Are you anti-Black or just anti-American?
23
00:05:16,493 --> 00:05:22,780
A lot of people detest your country
and all it stands for.
24
00:05:22,874 --> 00:05:26,326
In England, that�s not yet a crime.
25
00:05:26,420 --> 00:05:28,578
I think we have a problem.
26
00:05:30,882 --> 00:05:35,544
Utah was painful to us, Dodgson. We don�t
forgive you for making us look foolish
27
00:05:35,637 --> 00:05:39,635
and for putting another wedge between us
and our good friends.
28
00:05:39,725 --> 00:05:44,636
You�re here to answer yes or no
to our friend�s questions. Yes or no.
29
00:05:44,730 --> 00:05:46,971
And get on with it.
30
00:05:53,405 --> 00:05:56,240
I'm gonna have to start all over again.
31
00:05:56,324 --> 00:05:58,400
Sit real still.
32
00:07:02,140 --> 00:07:04,299
Keep your eyes on the board.
33
00:07:08,313 --> 00:07:11,065
Your friend Kedge fell under a train.
34
00:07:17,489 --> 00:07:21,783
Looks as though
they�ve taken the bait.
35
00:07:21,868 --> 00:07:26,198
As soon as we�re sure
they�ve bitten on Goodburn, I'll let you know.
36
00:07:26,289 --> 00:07:28,365
Take the pills that evening.
37
00:07:30,585 --> 00:07:33,255
Check.
38
00:07:34,297 --> 00:07:36,373
And mate.
39
00:07:44,558 --> 00:07:46,716
Tickets, please.
40
00:07:49,312 --> 00:07:53,144
- Thanks. Cheltenham next stop, sir.
- Thank you.
41
00:07:53,233 --> 00:07:55,806
Any more tickets now, please?
42
00:08:02,993 --> 00:08:06,860
The train on platform two
is the 12:10 from London Paddington -
43
00:08:06,955 --> 00:08:10,122
This is Cheltenham Spa, Cheltenham Spa -
44
00:08:10,208 --> 00:08:12,960
The train will be leaving in five minutes, 12:15,
45
00:08:13,045 --> 00:08:16,378
for Gloucester, Stroud, Kemble,
and London Paddington -
46
00:08:16,465 --> 00:08:20,509
- Dad?
- Bob. You shouldn�t have bothered to come.
47
00:08:20,594 --> 00:08:25,172
- Well, you�ve braved British Rail to get here.
- I�ve got a present for you.
48
00:08:25,265 --> 00:08:30,770
The bloke in the Russian book shop
said it was a fair translation.
49
00:08:30,854 --> 00:08:33,890
It�s beautiful. Thanks.
50
00:08:33,982 --> 00:08:36,354
- How�s business?
- Struggling.
51
00:08:36,443 --> 00:08:37,937
Yeah?
52
00:08:40,655 --> 00:08:45,732
Over here. By the way, there�s someone
coming I particularly want you to meet.
53
00:08:45,827 --> 00:08:48,401
A girl, eh? It�s about time.
54
00:08:48,497 --> 00:08:51,201
- Two of them, actually.
- Two?
55
00:09:05,597 --> 00:09:07,803
PV.
56
00:09:07,891 --> 00:09:09,171
PV?
57
00:09:09,267 --> 00:09:12,850
- It�s to do with security. Positive vetting.
- Yeah, PV.
58
00:09:12,938 --> 00:09:16,058
- PV? It sounds rude.
- It�s all in your mind.
59
00:09:16,149 --> 00:09:18,225
No, no, she�s quite right. It is rude.
60
00:09:18,318 --> 00:09:21,438
And I speak as one
who�s being PV'd at the moment.
61
00:09:21,530 --> 00:09:24,649
- It�s routine.
- Known as the quinquennial review.
62
00:09:24,741 --> 00:09:28,573
Yeah, we are PV'd by IOs, Tiffany.
63
00:09:28,662 --> 00:09:32,245
An IO is not, as you may think,
an intelligence officer,
64
00:09:32,332 --> 00:09:36,081
still less an intelligent officer,
he is an investigating officer.
65
00:09:36,169 --> 00:09:40,831
If something dodgy happens, like someone
with the same name turns up at a peace rally,
66
00:09:40,924 --> 00:09:44,507
then our case is referred to an HEOPVA,
67
00:09:44,594 --> 00:09:48,378
who is, in his glory,
a Higher Executive Officer Positive Vetting...
68
00:09:48,473 --> 00:09:52,138
- You�re drunk!
...Assessor. How dare you say I'm drunk?
69
00:09:52,227 --> 00:09:57,731
Should you be talking like this?
I mean, the Official Secrets Act and all that.
70
00:09:58,567 --> 00:10:01,318
No, no. You�re quite right, Dad.
71
00:10:01,403 --> 00:10:07,109
We shouldn�t. It is, after all, a method devised
to let people like Dodgson get away with it.
72
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,949
- That�s not fair. Dodgson was clever.
- This isn�t the Soviet Union.
73
00:10:11,037 --> 00:10:13,114
A timely reminder.
74
00:10:16,126 --> 00:10:19,958
- Right.
- Oh, look. Isn�t Tiger beautiful?
75
00:10:20,047 --> 00:10:22,288
- Tiger?
- Beautiful?
76
00:10:22,382 --> 00:10:25,217
You know that cat? He�s abnormal.
77
00:10:25,302 --> 00:10:28,920
He gets himself right down there
and he can�t get back up again.
78
00:10:29,014 --> 00:10:33,640
Then he howls, and who do you think has to
get up at four in the morning to let him in?
79
00:10:33,727 --> 00:10:35,803
Me.
80
00:10:37,230 --> 00:10:40,018
Come on. Come here, you little monster.
81
00:10:40,108 --> 00:10:42,979
Yes. Look at you.
82
00:10:43,070 --> 00:10:46,320
I sometimes think
if I could assemble a cat-like ladder
83
00:10:46,406 --> 00:10:49,407
then he could make his own way back.
84
00:10:50,619 --> 00:10:52,161
It�s nearly 30 feet.
85
00:10:52,245 --> 00:10:56,991
I�m going to phone for a taxi
to take me to the station.
86
00:10:57,084 --> 00:11:00,369
- We ought to wash up lunch.
- OK.
87
00:11:00,462 --> 00:11:04,080
- You, too, Mark.
- Bossy cow.
88
00:11:07,052 --> 00:11:09,377
- Bob?
- Mm?
89
00:11:12,682 --> 00:11:15,055
I told Allen.
90
00:11:15,143 --> 00:11:19,188
- How did he take it?
- Terrible.
91
00:11:19,272 --> 00:11:21,348
Bob, hold me.
92
00:11:25,779 --> 00:11:28,187
Make it in about an hour, could you?
93
00:11:28,281 --> 00:11:31,033
Fine. Thank you.
94
00:11:55,434 --> 00:11:59,562
... second thoughts?
- No, of course not.
95
00:11:59,646 --> 00:12:02,980
I just wish we didn�t have to
hurt anyone else.
96
00:12:11,032 --> 00:12:12,990
Bob.
97
00:12:13,076 --> 00:12:17,489
- Do you fancy a walk?
- Um, yeah, sure.
98
00:12:17,581 --> 00:12:20,036
And then again, no.
99
00:12:20,125 --> 00:12:24,336
No, I... I want to have a word with you,
so let�s go.
100
00:12:28,050 --> 00:12:30,126
Oh...
101
00:12:30,218 --> 00:12:32,970
I�m so clumsy. It�s bloody ridiculous.
102
00:12:33,055 --> 00:12:35,676
You intend to chuck the job. That�s it, isn�t it?
103
00:12:35,766 --> 00:12:38,387
- Yeah.
- Why?
104
00:12:38,477 --> 00:12:42,426
- Well, it�s a bit complicated.
- Yes, I thought it would be.
105
00:12:42,522 --> 00:12:46,900
Don�t be so aggressive, Dad.
It�s not very helpful.
106
00:12:46,985 --> 00:12:50,436
In an odd way,
this Dodgson business focused how I feel.
107
00:12:50,530 --> 00:12:53,448
I wondered if you knew him
when I read about the trial.
108
00:12:53,533 --> 00:12:57,282
There are 7,000 of us working at GCHQ.
109
00:12:57,370 --> 00:13:00,407
It�s an industry. Ordinary.
110
00:13:00,499 --> 00:13:04,366
Accepted.
I didn�t even know Dodgson by sight.
111
00:13:05,962 --> 00:13:11,467
The net result is the business of informing on
one another has now become respectable.
112
00:13:11,551 --> 00:13:16,048
All of us are encouraged to report anything
that strikes us odd about colleagues.
113
00:13:16,139 --> 00:13:21,097
Can you imagine what it�s like
to be at the mercy of a secret report
114
00:13:21,186 --> 00:13:25,350
from someone you�re living with
or working with?
115
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,892
Is that what�s happening, Bob?
Someone informed on you?
116
00:13:28,985 --> 00:13:31,358
- You�re being asked to resign?
- No way.
117
00:13:31,446 --> 00:13:34,116
I�m not being judged. It�s the other way round.
118
00:13:34,199 --> 00:13:38,279
The security people
had egg all over their faces-
119
00:13:38,370 --> 00:13:40,446
Ten years he got away with it-
120
00:13:40,539 --> 00:13:44,121
And then there are the lies-
They start the very first day-
121
00:13:44,209 --> 00:13:48,123
Nobody's what they seem-
Nothing is what it's made out to be-
122
00:13:48,213 --> 00:13:51,664
And you never realise till later,
years later in my case,
123
00:13:51,758 --> 00:13:54,463
that from the very first day,
the truth recedes.
124
00:13:54,553 --> 00:13:58,633
- Don�t forget, what they do is necessary.
- That�s a fatal argument, Dad.
125
00:13:58,724 --> 00:14:01,511
It�s common sense.
You need a posting or a holiday.
126
00:14:01,601 --> 00:14:04,638
Take one, but don�t throw away
six years of seniority.
127
00:14:04,730 --> 00:14:07,137
- God, there�s more to life...
- Listen to me.
128
00:14:07,232 --> 00:14:10,435
When I came out after 12 years,
it was no joke making a living
129
00:14:10,527 --> 00:14:15,070
and it�s taken me over 20 years since then
to find my way, and it�s still very dodgy.
130
00:14:15,157 --> 00:14:19,285
Cleverer men than me go bankrupt every day.
Times are bad and getting worse.
131
00:14:19,369 --> 00:14:23,319
Let�s face it, you�re not a computer man
or an engineer or a doctor.
132
00:14:23,415 --> 00:14:26,084
You�re a linguist. Who needs them?
133
00:14:26,168 --> 00:14:30,580
- Are we going to have an argument?
- I shouldn�t be surprised.
134
00:14:30,672 --> 00:14:33,128
- Tea?
- All right.
135
00:14:41,933 --> 00:14:44,175
- Go ahead. Knock on the door.
- OK.
136
00:14:49,649 --> 00:14:51,975
- Ta-da! Surprise.
- Oh!
137
00:14:52,069 --> 00:14:55,484
- Ta-da! Happy birthday!
- That�s really kind.
138
00:14:55,572 --> 00:14:59,486
We couldn�t do the honours
with the cake without you.
139
00:14:59,576 --> 00:15:02,245
Right. Look at that.
140
00:15:02,329 --> 00:15:04,654
- Shall I blow them out?
- Mm-hm.
141
00:15:04,748 --> 00:15:07,239
One, two, three.
142
00:15:07,334 --> 00:15:10,251
- Don�t forget to wish.
- No, I won�t.
143
00:15:10,337 --> 00:15:12,828
- Is everything all right?
- Yes.
144
00:15:12,923 --> 00:15:16,967
Your room, Bob,
is even more of a tip than mine.
145
00:15:17,052 --> 00:15:21,595
- Would you like us to tidy it?
- No. Not at any price.
146
00:15:21,681 --> 00:15:24,219
I'd never find anything, would I? Hm?
147
00:15:24,309 --> 00:15:27,227
- It may look a bit chaotic, but...
- It surely does.
148
00:15:27,312 --> 00:15:31,262
- Basically, it�s very clean.
- And it is his room.
149
00:15:32,526 --> 00:15:35,729
I�m sorry, I didn�t mean to...
150
00:15:35,821 --> 00:15:39,272
Well, I�m going to watch television
with Mark and Rose.
151
00:15:39,366 --> 00:15:41,572
All right. Will that be OK?
152
00:15:41,660 --> 00:15:44,115
Yeah. Here, look, um...
153
00:15:45,163 --> 00:15:48,746
- Bribe them.
- Yes. See you later.
154
00:15:48,834 --> 00:15:50,162
- Bye.
- Bye.
155
00:15:53,630 --> 00:15:55,706
Sit down, Dad.
156
00:16:02,931 --> 00:16:05,137
- Is it all right?
- Very nice.
157
00:16:06,226 --> 00:16:08,468
Here we are. A cup of tea.
158
00:16:09,938 --> 00:16:12,014
Thank you.
159
00:16:13,775 --> 00:16:19,814
Listen, it seems to me
that underneath ordinary life...
160
00:16:20,866 --> 00:16:24,365
God, it�s so hard to put this clearly.
161
00:16:24,453 --> 00:16:27,453
Underneath the commonplace -
162
00:16:28,540 --> 00:16:33,249
buses in the street, newspapers,
cricket scores, paying the bloody mortgage -
163
00:16:33,336 --> 00:16:39,624
underneath all of that,
there is another, an entirely secret world.
164
00:16:41,136 --> 00:16:44,754
Now, the people who run it,
thousands of them,
165
00:16:44,848 --> 00:16:47,968
appear to live in the light, but they don�t.
166
00:16:48,060 --> 00:16:50,348
And I don�t.
167
00:16:50,437 --> 00:16:55,597
You see, every day, or nearly every day,
I go to this place to translate surprising,
168
00:16:55,692 --> 00:17:00,188
sometimes terrifying,
and occasionally appalling things.
169
00:17:01,073 --> 00:17:07,360
Look, you know how much
I love the Russian language.
170
00:17:07,454 --> 00:17:09,363
And their literature.
171
00:17:09,456 --> 00:17:12,077
Yes, I do.
172
00:17:12,167 --> 00:17:19,000
Pushkin, for example, killed in a duel
provoked by his unfaithful wife.
173
00:17:19,091 --> 00:17:23,634
Tolstoy, stinking rich and all that guilt.
174
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,421
Dostoevsky missing the firing squad,
175
00:17:27,516 --> 00:17:30,552
gambling like a maniac.
176
00:17:30,644 --> 00:17:33,847
Chekhov, Stanislavsky. You know?
177
00:17:37,067 --> 00:17:43,437
You see, I have a... a world inside my head,
178
00:17:43,532 --> 00:17:50,115
a perspective of Russian life to set against
interminable telephone conversations from...
179
00:17:51,206 --> 00:17:53,282
party officials.
180
00:17:56,294 --> 00:18:00,506
You listen to telephone conversations
with Russian party officials?
181
00:18:00,590 --> 00:18:02,832
Yeah. Out of the Kremlin, even.
182
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:08,553
I don't care whether professional sceptics,
the hard-boiled boys who run the world,
183
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,219
talk casually of the Bolshoi Ballet
being a cultural weapon, which it is,
184
00:18:13,311 --> 00:18:15,981
and feel nothing as they say it-
185
00:18:16,064 --> 00:18:19,896
I feel something. It hurts me personally.
186
00:18:20,944 --> 00:18:26,283
If the Bolshoi comes,
if I watch and listen to Romeo and Juliet,
187
00:18:26,366 --> 00:18:30,067
I mean, the joy of it
is poisoned by the certainty
188
00:18:30,162 --> 00:18:34,111
that the KGB man
is sitting in the bloody prompt corner.
189
00:18:35,709 --> 00:18:40,335
Their secret world
has put out the light of the ordinary world.
190
00:18:42,090 --> 00:18:44,877
All the more reason
to stick at what you�re doing.
191
00:18:44,968 --> 00:18:46,925
No.
192
00:18:47,012 --> 00:18:50,132
I believe, with all my heart,
193
00:18:51,183 --> 00:18:54,883
that our secret world
is on exactly the same tack as theirs.
194
00:18:55,896 --> 00:18:58,600
Enough. Self-righteous little prick.
195
00:18:59,566 --> 00:19:03,101
Our best advice is that he�s not a serious risk.
196
00:19:03,195 --> 00:19:06,030
But naturally, we'll keep him covered.
197
00:19:12,704 --> 00:19:15,907
Bother, he�s not back yet.
198
00:19:15,999 --> 00:19:19,285
You go in, darling, and I�ll put the car away.
199
00:19:44,694 --> 00:19:47,067
God! God, Allen! No!
200
00:19:50,409 --> 00:19:53,860
It�s Dodgson, sir.
The duty officer didn�t like the look of him.
201
00:19:53,954 --> 00:19:56,361
He says there�s hardly any pulse.
202
00:20:05,132 --> 00:20:07,208
Call Hammersmith Hospital.
203
00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:11,345
- Ambulance?
- No, car. Quick, we could lose the bugger.
204
00:20:44,629 --> 00:20:46,088
- Fool!
205
00:21:18,538 --> 00:21:22,583
- It�s all right. Shh. It'll be all right.
206
00:21:22,667 --> 00:21:28,254
Shh. Listen to me. I'll deal with the police.
You go and look after Tiffany.
207
00:21:28,340 --> 00:21:30,546
It�ll be all right. Go on.
208
00:22:18,306 --> 00:22:21,307
Now, either I�m mad,
209
00:22:21,393 --> 00:22:26,470
or somebody killed Allen
and faked it to look like suicide.
210
00:22:27,607 --> 00:22:31,356
- Why on earth should they do that?
- Well, he knew Dodgson, right?
211
00:22:31,445 --> 00:22:35,692
Just suppose Allen
was mixed up in what he was doing.
212
00:22:35,782 --> 00:22:38,736
Hm? The last thing security want
is another scandal.
213
00:22:38,827 --> 00:22:41,781
You don�t seriously think
they�d go to those lengths?
214
00:22:41,872 --> 00:22:45,038
I don�t know. I don�t even know who to ask.
215
00:22:45,125 --> 00:22:47,414
I thought you might have a bright idea.
216
00:22:47,502 --> 00:22:50,705
Not off the top of my head. I mean...
217
00:22:52,299 --> 00:22:55,216
- Let me think about it.
- Fancy a beer?
218
00:22:55,302 --> 00:23:01,055
Thanks. There�s a panic on to calculate
the track of this new Russian spacemongery.
219
00:23:01,141 --> 00:23:03,976
- Well, some other time, then.
- Sure.
220
00:23:28,919 --> 00:23:31,623
Good morning, good morning.
221
00:23:31,713 --> 00:23:34,204
You have slept like a hero.
222
00:23:34,299 --> 00:23:37,466
The woman will make you
the bacon and eggs now.
223
00:23:37,552 --> 00:23:41,632
Is it morning, Alex? It is Alex, isn�t it?
224
00:23:41,723 --> 00:23:44,677
Correct. Ah, you remember my name.
225
00:23:44,768 --> 00:23:49,346
Yes, it is morning.
To tell you the truth, it is afternoon.
226
00:23:49,439 --> 00:23:54,481
There�s something...
familiar about this place.
227
00:23:54,569 --> 00:23:58,781
It was here that you met your controller
when he came over in "83.
228
00:23:58,865 --> 00:24:00,941
- That�s right.
- Do you remember?
229
00:24:01,034 --> 00:24:03,988
We smuggled you in
in the bottom of the school bus.
230
00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:08,540
Russian territory in England.
That appeals to me.
231
00:24:09,793 --> 00:24:12,165
It is amusing, yes?
232
00:24:12,254 --> 00:24:17,710
But you must,
on no account, touch the curtains.
233
00:24:17,801 --> 00:24:20,374
Outside, the British are like crazy men
234
00:24:20,470 --> 00:24:24,254
trying to find you
before the press learn of your escape.
235
00:24:24,349 --> 00:24:28,810
When they do, there will be
the most enormous outcry.
236
00:24:28,895 --> 00:24:34,731
We do not believe that the British security
services know you came here before,
237
00:24:34,818 --> 00:24:40,690
but we must assume they will have all our
properties under surveillance with cameras.
238
00:24:40,782 --> 00:24:42,941
You must stay low.
239
00:24:46,204 --> 00:24:50,451
This chap tried to recruit me.
I couldn�t tell you before.
240
00:24:52,127 --> 00:24:55,626
He used to be a tearaway -
ripping up telephone directories,
241
00:24:55,714 --> 00:24:58,205
taking the tops off bottles with his teeth.
242
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:03,294
I can�t imagine what made him think
I could get into all that. Anyway, he'll see you.
243
00:25:03,388 --> 00:25:05,796
I�ve got his address in the car.
244
00:25:22,991 --> 00:25:26,526
- Morning. Is my guest here?
- Ah, Mr Greig. Ah, yes, Mr Jones.
245
00:25:26,620 --> 00:25:28,908
Yes, he�s just through here.
246
00:25:31,917 --> 00:25:34,538
Frank!
247
00:25:34,628 --> 00:25:38,791
Charlie Greig, as I live and breathe.
I couldn�t believe it when you called.
248
00:25:38,882 --> 00:25:42,251
- What�s your poison?
- No, no. This is my treat. Pinkers?
249
00:25:42,344 --> 00:25:45,962
- What else, Commander?
- Same for me and make them large ones.
250
00:25:46,056 --> 00:25:47,598
Let�s sit down over there.
251
00:25:47,682 --> 00:25:50,802
- This is a turn-up for the book.
- It�s been a few years.
252
00:25:50,894 --> 00:25:52,887
Mm-hm.
253
00:25:52,979 --> 00:25:56,894
The only pilot who enjoyed the rocket takeoff
when the catapult failed.
254
00:25:56,983 --> 00:25:59,272
We said we did,
but you meant it, you mad sod.
255
00:25:59,361 --> 00:26:01,852
Well, we were younger in those days.
256
00:26:01,947 --> 00:26:07,072
I remember you blowing your commission,
taking a swing at that chief petty officer
257
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,568
cos you thought he was a bully.
258
00:26:09,663 --> 00:26:15,119
Well, he was, too. CPO Pratt.
Pratt by name and prat by nature.
259
00:26:15,210 --> 00:26:20,880
I know, I know. All the same, I couldn�t have
spent my life savings on that kind of gesture.
260
00:26:20,966 --> 00:26:23,539
Well, I wasn�t into promotion like you were.
261
00:26:23,635 --> 00:26:26,422
HMS Hawke - white band round your cap.
262
00:26:26,513 --> 00:26:30,345
Thank you.
No dipping your biscuits in your tea.
263
00:26:30,434 --> 00:26:34,016
It was the only way a pilot
could crash the class barrier.
264
00:26:34,104 --> 00:26:37,687
Yeah, well, as you said,
in those days we were younger.
265
00:26:42,529 --> 00:26:44,189
Thank you.
266
00:26:45,699 --> 00:26:51,571
Just when we thought we got civvy street
squared away, Kathy developed this lump.
267
00:26:51,663 --> 00:26:55,531
It wasn�t much to speak of.
Turned out to be cancer.
268
00:26:55,625 --> 00:26:59,706
- Dear old boy.
- At least she went quickly.
269
00:26:59,796 --> 00:27:02,334
There didn�t seem to be
much point in going on,
270
00:27:02,424 --> 00:27:05,508
especially as my son
wasn�t interested in the business.
271
00:27:05,594 --> 00:27:07,966
That�s right. Of course, you had a boy.
272
00:27:08,055 --> 00:27:11,221
Yeah, Bob. Apple of his mother�s eye.
273
00:27:11,308 --> 00:27:14,677
Mine, too, but you wouldn�t want
to share a cabin with him.
274
00:27:14,770 --> 00:27:17,640
- What? Untidy?
- Shambolic.
275
00:27:17,731 --> 00:27:19,889
What�s he doing now?
276
00:27:19,983 --> 00:27:23,019
He�s a Russian-language specialist at GCHQ.
277
00:27:23,111 --> 00:27:25,519
Bright boy, then.
278
00:27:25,614 --> 00:27:30,489
A bit too bright for his own good. More brains
than sense, you know what I mean?
279
00:27:30,577 --> 00:27:36,117
No, that�s not quite fair, but I went down there
the other day for his birthday
280
00:27:36,208 --> 00:27:41,166
and, number one, he�s got himself mixed up
with a married woman with a kid.
281
00:27:41,254 --> 00:27:44,505
On top of that,
he�s talking about leaving the job.
282
00:27:44,591 --> 00:27:48,375
He�s got it in his head that
what the Russians do in that line of country
283
00:27:48,470 --> 00:27:51,257
is not a lot different from what we do.
284
00:27:51,348 --> 00:27:53,839
- Student talk.
- He�s 28.
285
00:27:53,934 --> 00:27:58,311
Well, it�s just the time
for pulling the old man�s beard.
286
00:27:58,397 --> 00:28:02,477
I was surprised. I mean, he shouted the odds
from time to time, we all did,
287
00:28:02,567 --> 00:28:07,064
but he went for the quiet life
at the end of the day.
288
00:28:07,155 --> 00:28:09,527
He�d run a mile rather than risk trouble.
289
00:28:09,616 --> 00:28:13,151
- Not like you, then?
- No. Takes after his mother, thank God.
290
00:28:13,245 --> 00:28:15,321
Well, that�s nice.
291
00:28:19,209 --> 00:28:24,963
What about you? Don�t tell me none of those
Wrens managed to drag you to the altar?
292
00:28:25,048 --> 00:28:28,085
You know what they say -
safety in numbers.
293
00:28:28,176 --> 00:28:33,052
The last time I heard of you,
you�d joined the cloak-and-dagger brigade.
294
00:28:33,140 --> 00:28:35,512
Still at it, are you?
295
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,681
Retired. In so far as they ever let you retire.
296
00:28:39,771 --> 00:28:44,932
They�ve set me up with a nice little sideline -
vetting firms to make sure they�re kosher,
297
00:28:45,026 --> 00:28:49,107
which, not to beat about the bush,
is why I�m here.
298
00:28:50,157 --> 00:28:55,531
A little bird told me you�ve been supplying
some fair-sized outlets lately.
299
00:28:55,620 --> 00:28:58,372
Satisfied customers, one and all.
300
00:28:58,457 --> 00:29:02,869
Now, there�s a government department -
no names, no pack drill -
301
00:29:02,961 --> 00:29:08,797
on the brink of elbowing their quill pens
in favour of word processors.
302
00:29:08,884 --> 00:29:12,668
It�s not a contemptible contract, so, um...
303
00:29:12,763 --> 00:29:17,840
always provided your beamish boy isn�t
seriously intent on upsetting the apple cart...
304
00:29:17,934 --> 00:29:19,263
Thank you.
305
00:29:19,895 --> 00:29:22,053
...it�s yours.
306
00:29:29,362 --> 00:29:31,439
I�m sorry.
307
00:29:33,992 --> 00:29:35,736
What?
308
00:29:36,787 --> 00:29:38,945
This just feels all wrong.
309
00:29:43,168 --> 00:29:46,703
Well, you wouldn�t let me come to your place.
310
00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:50,330
Would you, Bob?
311
00:29:50,425 --> 00:29:55,171
If I�m not under surveillance,
I bloody well should be.
312
00:29:55,263 --> 00:29:58,099
- It�s not funny.
- I�m not laughing at you.
313
00:29:58,183 --> 00:29:59,891
No?
314
00:29:59,976 --> 00:30:04,555
It�s just the thought of some SAS type
trying to recruit Mark.
315
00:30:05,774 --> 00:30:08,941
Yes, it�s a pretty bizarre idea, isn�t it?
316
00:30:11,238 --> 00:30:13,314
- Rose, well...
- Yes, Rose.
317
00:30:13,407 --> 00:30:17,274
I can just see her
laying someone out with her handbag.
318
00:30:23,041 --> 00:30:27,335
Do you really have to go and see
that man Mark put you on to?
319
00:30:27,421 --> 00:30:29,793
Yes, I do.
320
00:30:29,881 --> 00:30:32,337
It�s not just going to go away, you know.
321
00:31:02,456 --> 00:31:05,125
- Hello, Mahroof.
- Hello, sir.
322
00:31:07,544 --> 00:31:10,296
- Hello.
- Is it wise to smoke on top of that brandy?
323
00:31:10,380 --> 00:31:13,749
- You think I�ve been on the town, right?
- Dead right.
324
00:31:13,842 --> 00:31:18,670
In fact, thanks to my service connections
and a willingness to risk liver and lungs,
325
00:31:18,764 --> 00:31:21,599
we are in the running
for a government contract.
326
00:31:21,683 --> 00:31:23,261
That�s fantastic, Frank.
327
00:31:23,351 --> 00:31:26,602
Yes, and if we get it right this time,
there�s plenty more.
328
00:31:26,688 --> 00:31:28,681
- Any messages?
- The bank.
329
00:31:28,774 --> 00:31:31,443
Oh, on the strength of this,
I can face even them.
330
00:31:31,526 --> 00:31:36,484
And Bob called. Could you phone him?
Something about meeting him in Gloucester.
331
00:31:36,573 --> 00:31:38,649
Gloucester?
332
00:31:42,329 --> 00:31:46,373
Sorry to drag you all this way, Dad,
but I think I�m close to something
333
00:31:46,458 --> 00:31:50,621
that makes my original misgivings
about GCHQ seem like pleasant dreams.
334
00:31:50,712 --> 00:31:55,754
To understand, you�ve got to remember what
the American secret world has done for years.
335
00:31:55,842 --> 00:32:00,172
I don't just mean
in the way of secret ways and secret codes,
336
00:32:00,263 --> 00:32:04,213
but in perjury, bribery, blackmail,
337
00:32:04,309 --> 00:32:06,883
drug trafficking all over the world,
338
00:32:06,978 --> 00:32:09,648
and, yeah, plain old-fashioned murder.
339
00:32:09,731 --> 00:32:16,066
I mean, Watergate proved the extent these
people can work against their own people.
340
00:32:16,154 --> 00:32:20,022
- That was the end of it.
- No. That just pushed it further underground.
341
00:32:20,117 --> 00:32:22,786
We could never have
a Watergate in this country.
342
00:32:22,869 --> 00:32:27,911
Our secret world is beyond the norm,
which brings me back to what I was saying-
343
00:32:27,999 --> 00:32:34,334
GCHQ Cheltenham is hugely funded by,
and totally integrated with,
344
00:32:34,423 --> 00:32:36,499
the Americans.
345
00:32:37,718 --> 00:32:43,139
Now, you don�t believe
we don�t do anything they do, hm?
346
00:32:43,223 --> 00:32:45,014
All right.
347
00:32:46,059 --> 00:32:50,520
I don�t know what you know
and I don�t read what you read,
348
00:32:50,605 --> 00:32:55,896
but I do know that no one in his right mind
risks a secure job these days.
349
00:32:55,986 --> 00:32:59,853
You do have the right to give it up,
so for God�s sake leave it at that.
350
00:32:59,948 --> 00:33:02,024
Resign and walk away.
351
00:33:02,117 --> 00:33:07,491
It would be conniving of me to...
to do nothing, knowing what I know now.
352
00:33:07,581 --> 00:33:10,535
- Don�t you see?
- No, I don�t. I bloody well don�t.
353
00:33:10,625 --> 00:33:16,461
I�m sorry, I didn�t want to get you going.
I just wanted you to know, that�s all.
354
00:33:23,013 --> 00:33:25,255
- Well...
- Yes?
355
00:33:25,891 --> 00:33:29,224
- Mind how you go.
- And you.
356
00:33:29,311 --> 00:33:33,558
Dad, you know
all my movie heroes were American?
357
00:33:33,648 --> 00:33:37,516
Do you remember when we used to be
glued to the telly when I was a kid?
358
00:33:37,611 --> 00:33:42,949
We used to watch them go to the moon and
walk on it. Christ, wasn�t that marvelous?
359
00:33:43,033 --> 00:33:46,283
Yeah, well, the world�s changed, that�s all.
360
00:33:46,369 --> 00:33:51,281
I still believe the man in the white hat always
wins in the end, and I intend to prove it.
361
00:33:51,374 --> 00:33:53,451
You do, do you?
362
00:33:55,962 --> 00:33:57,670
Yes, sirree.
363
00:34:03,011 --> 00:34:04,671
Bye.
364
00:34:22,322 --> 00:34:24,611
So...
365
00:34:24,699 --> 00:34:28,033
now we see. Please stand up.
366
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:36,168
It�s wonderful. I can hardly recognise myself.
367
00:34:36,253 --> 00:34:38,625
This calls for a toast.
368
00:34:38,714 --> 00:34:43,956
And see, I brought
the comrade colonel something else.
369
00:34:46,888 --> 00:34:49,130
Now, isn�t that something?
370
00:34:49,224 --> 00:34:51,976
Alex.
371
00:34:56,523 --> 00:35:00,022
- Thank you.
- No, no, please. It�s for you to keep.
372
00:35:04,489 --> 00:35:06,696
- To Russia.
- To Russia.
373
00:35:14,499 --> 00:35:17,619
I wish the comrade colonel
a pleasant journey.
374
00:35:18,211 --> 00:35:22,375
- Thank you for all your help.
- I'll see our friend safely off the premises.
375
00:35:22,466 --> 00:35:24,838
Don�t drink all the vodka before I get back.
376
00:35:24,926 --> 00:35:27,299
Trust me.
377
00:35:32,976 --> 00:35:35,467
Let�s look before we leap.
378
00:35:36,813 --> 00:35:39,020
All clear.
379
00:35:40,984 --> 00:35:44,270
- You see, you can�t fault our security.
- Safe journey.
380
00:36:02,714 --> 00:36:06,415
- 0331 -
- May I speak to Sir Adrian Chapple, please?
381
00:36:06,510 --> 00:36:07,708
Speaking-
382
00:36:07,803 --> 00:36:11,551
Ch�teau Direct here.
Sorry for being so long in getting back to you.
383
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:17,512
It appears your order was detained in bond,
but I�m assured it'll be released very shortly.
384
00:36:17,604 --> 00:36:20,356
Thank you for letting me know.
385
00:37:23,295 --> 00:37:25,371
This way, please, sir.
386
00:37:56,369 --> 00:37:58,825
One of my better productions.
387
00:38:01,166 --> 00:38:06,955
- They made a wonderful job of the furniture.
- They did indeed, Flecker. Well, well.
388
00:38:09,549 --> 00:38:13,049
Incidentally, what�s happening
to Dodgson�s prison contact?
389
00:38:13,136 --> 00:38:16,007
The one who passed him the pills and so on?
390
00:38:16,098 --> 00:38:19,301
He�s having ten years off his sentence
391
00:38:19,393 --> 00:38:23,556
and then we�re sending him
to Northern Ireland.
392
00:38:23,647 --> 00:38:27,479
You do take away with one hand
what you give with the other.
393
00:38:27,567 --> 00:38:29,643
Coming from you?
394
00:38:37,327 --> 00:38:40,945
I don�t think
you should find that displeasing.
395
00:38:41,039 --> 00:38:43,826
Good God. Chapple?
396
00:38:43,917 --> 00:38:49,042
We'll never hear the end of it if the Americans
find that out. Well done. Excellent.
397
00:38:49,131 --> 00:38:54,256
He was a very good subject. It helped he�d
been to the flat to see his controller before.
398
00:38:54,344 --> 00:38:56,633
- Is it all on video?
- Of course.
399
00:40:37,781 --> 00:40:41,066
- How good of you to come.
- How good of you to ask me down.
400
00:40:41,159 --> 00:40:44,160
First thing first, you like this, I believe?
401
00:40:44,246 --> 00:40:46,322
- Quite right.
- Water? Ice?
402
00:40:46,415 --> 00:40:49,700
- Just as it comes.
- Spoken like a Scotsman.
403
00:40:50,752 --> 00:40:53,753
- There we are.
- Your good health.
404
00:40:53,839 --> 00:40:58,382
My dear fellow. Well, rather different
from the last time you were down here.
405
00:40:58,468 --> 00:41:00,627
Very.
406
00:41:00,721 --> 00:41:03,294
It�s as well the Irish are besotted by racing.
407
00:41:03,390 --> 00:41:05,928
Bomb here and the country
would grind to a halt.
408
00:41:06,017 --> 00:41:08,769
- A sobering thought.
- Come and mingle.
409
00:41:10,939 --> 00:41:13,181
Sorry.
410
00:41:16,403 --> 00:41:18,810
I agree with your solution, by the way.
411
00:41:18,905 --> 00:41:22,239
It avoids the courts on the one hand
and on the other...
412
00:41:22,325 --> 00:41:26,193
Quite. It used to be thought,
and I was inclined to agree,
413
00:41:26,288 --> 00:41:29,704
that such mistakes were forgivable
414
00:41:29,791 --> 00:41:34,868
because, unlike the enemy,
we err on the side of decency and trust.
415
00:41:34,963 --> 00:41:37,632
When we pry, we do so blunderingly
416
00:41:37,716 --> 00:41:42,425
and even our most hardened snoopers
are given to thoughts of fair play.
417
00:41:42,512 --> 00:41:45,134
However, that�s in the past.
418
00:41:46,558 --> 00:41:52,810
With regard to Chapple, there have been talks
with the attorney general and he has agreed.
419
00:41:52,898 --> 00:41:58,853
But since Blunt, those sort of people,
senior people, have been very, very cagey.
420
00:41:58,945 --> 00:42:02,196
They don�t want old age ruined
by a journalist writing a book
421
00:42:02,282 --> 00:42:06,149
or some prime minister making a statement
so they�re publicly blown,
422
00:42:06,244 --> 00:42:08,320
lose their cane, all that.
423
00:42:08,413 --> 00:42:11,699
- Of course.
- I mean, one can understand it.
424
00:42:11,792 --> 00:42:14,911
When it comes to Chapple,
we are not dealing with a grocer.
425
00:42:15,003 --> 00:42:17,755
Immunity should mean immunity,
wouldn�t you say?
426
00:42:17,839 --> 00:42:22,632
- Oh, absolutely.
- Let�s go down and see the parade.
427
00:42:29,059 --> 00:42:33,436
My view is that we let him get on with it until
we find out how much damage he has done
428
00:42:33,522 --> 00:42:38,018
and have him dead to rights,
which we do not at the moment, legally.
429
00:42:38,110 --> 00:42:42,321
Then we turf out his Soviet contacts
and give him the choice.
430
00:42:42,406 --> 00:42:45,490
Now, as for the other fellow,
he�s in the grocer class.
431
00:42:45,575 --> 00:42:47,651
I propose we leave him to Flecker.
432
00:42:47,744 --> 00:42:50,282
Flecker has a very creative bent.
433
00:42:51,331 --> 00:42:55,329
It really is useful having the two of them
in our sights at the same time.
434
00:42:55,419 --> 00:42:58,088
I think we have a knack for this sort of thing.
435
00:42:58,171 --> 00:43:00,247
In the matter of Jones...
436
00:43:00,340 --> 00:43:03,424
Yes, I understand your man
failed to read him right.
437
00:43:03,510 --> 00:43:08,302
It would seem so. Although had the good
friends been less precipitative or more deaf...
438
00:43:08,390 --> 00:43:10,347
Speculation.
439
00:43:10,434 --> 00:43:14,597
The matter is,
if that young man blows the whistle on it,
440
00:43:14,688 --> 00:43:18,602
this entire operation will have been
much worse than pointless.
441
00:43:18,692 --> 00:43:20,934
I hear you.
442
00:43:21,027 --> 00:43:25,108
I�m looking to you
to preserve the special relationship.
443
00:43:25,198 --> 00:43:26,657
Or what�s left of it.
444
00:43:26,742 --> 00:43:30,691
Sir Adrian Chapple
will be presenting the owner and trainer
445
00:43:30,787 --> 00:43:34,322
of Sea Captain with a trophy,
446
00:43:34,416 --> 00:43:40,786
and a special trophy will be presented to
the winning jockey in the winners' enclosure-
447
00:43:54,102 --> 00:43:56,889
- Mr Jones?
- Yes?
448
00:43:56,980 --> 00:44:00,598
Can I have a word with you a moment, sir?
449
00:44:00,692 --> 00:44:04,191
- Yes. Who are you?
- I�m a police officer.
450
00:44:04,279 --> 00:44:07,031
I�ve got a bit of bad news.
451
00:44:07,115 --> 00:44:10,033
- What?
- It�s about your son, sir.
452
00:44:11,369 --> 00:44:14,738
It seems he fell off a roof.
453
00:44:14,831 --> 00:44:17,785
It�s very bad news, I�m afraid, sir.
454
00:45:17,227 --> 00:45:21,272
- Are you all right?
- Yes, thank you.
455
00:45:21,356 --> 00:45:23,681
Is he your son?
456
00:45:23,775 --> 00:45:26,527
You formally identify him
as Robert Arthur Jones?
457
00:45:26,611 --> 00:45:28,687
- Yes.
- Thank you.
458
00:45:55,140 --> 00:45:57,512
This has all your son�s gear in it.
459
00:45:59,686 --> 00:46:04,514
- It�s very light.
- It�s all he had on him. It�s been examined.
460
00:46:04,608 --> 00:46:07,229
He was dressed. The bed wasn�t slept in.
461
00:46:08,779 --> 00:46:11,566
Did you see him often?
462
00:46:11,656 --> 00:46:13,614
Sir?
463
00:46:13,700 --> 00:46:17,532
- His bed wasn�t slept in, you say?
- Correct.
464
00:46:17,621 --> 00:46:22,033
- How do you know?
- Well, from the scene-of-crime officer.
465
00:46:22,125 --> 00:46:26,253
Who let him in? The first thing I was told
by your Inspector Brown...
466
00:46:26,338 --> 00:46:29,623
- Bourne.
- Inspector Bourne.
467
00:46:29,716 --> 00:46:32,088
...on the phone this morning
468
00:46:32,177 --> 00:46:38,630
was that Bob was alone in house
over the weekend. The other two were away.
469
00:46:38,725 --> 00:46:45,344
My colleagues borrowed a ladder, went
onto the roof and into the house that way.
470
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:51,064
I suppose these are cheaper
than a cardboard box or something decent?
471
00:46:51,154 --> 00:46:53,941
It�s all there, sir. If you�d just sign for it.
472
00:46:54,032 --> 00:46:56,108
Where do I sign?
473
00:47:31,486 --> 00:47:34,820
- Mr Jones?
- Yes?
474
00:47:34,906 --> 00:47:37,065
Bill Pickett.
475
00:47:38,326 --> 00:47:42,656
I had an appointment to talk to your son.
I�m very sorry to hear what happened.
476
00:47:42,748 --> 00:47:44,621
- Who are you?
- A journalist.
477
00:47:44,708 --> 00:47:48,207
I don�t want to talk. Which paper?
478
00:47:48,295 --> 00:47:51,212
A weekly. The Senator.
Bob may have mentioned me.
479
00:47:51,298 --> 00:47:52,875
No.
480
00:47:52,966 --> 00:47:56,465
- Who did you say you are?
- Bill Pickett.
481
00:47:56,553 --> 00:47:58,344
- The Senator?.
- That�s right.
482
00:47:58,430 --> 00:48:00,506
Prove it.
483
00:48:05,896 --> 00:48:09,430
Well, what did he want to talk to you about?
484
00:48:09,524 --> 00:48:11,813
- Bob?
- Yeah, Bob.
485
00:48:11,902 --> 00:48:16,279
- I don�t really know.
- Don�t fuck about with me! He�s dead!
486
00:48:24,915 --> 00:48:28,747
- You�re a lefty, aren't you?
- What else?
487
00:48:28,835 --> 00:48:32,335
You want to stir up the Dodgson business.
That�s it, isn�t it?
488
00:48:32,422 --> 00:48:34,629
Now Bob�s dead, you want to use him.
489
00:48:34,716 --> 00:48:38,381
I don�t need to use him to do that,
I assure you.
490
00:48:38,470 --> 00:48:42,053
- How did he get in touch with you?
- He telephoned me.
491
00:48:42,140 --> 00:48:44,845
I checked up on him and called him back.
492
00:48:44,935 --> 00:48:46,678
What?
493
00:48:46,770 --> 00:48:50,435
You don�t take it on trust
when someone you�ve never heard of phones
494
00:48:50,524 --> 00:48:53,774
and says they work at GCHQ
and they want to talk.
495
00:48:53,860 --> 00:48:58,356
I mean, there are laws, and things have been
very jumpy since brother Dodgson.
496
00:48:58,448 --> 00:49:01,900
- When was this?
- Last week.
497
00:49:01,993 --> 00:49:05,943
So why the delay?
I mean, in you two getting together?
498
00:49:06,039 --> 00:49:09,159
Bob said what he wanted to discuss
involved someone else.
499
00:49:09,251 --> 00:49:12,951
The other person didn�t want to talk to me.
He hoped to persuade him.
500
00:49:13,046 --> 00:49:16,996
- That�s the lot.
- No, it isn�t. Why the appointment today?
501
00:49:17,092 --> 00:49:20,259
He said he�d be in touch
with the other person this weekend.
502
00:49:20,345 --> 00:49:23,382
- In touch?
- Yeah.
503
00:49:23,473 --> 00:49:26,391
I brought this to discuss with him.
504
00:49:26,476 --> 00:49:28,552
Look...
505
00:49:28,645 --> 00:49:33,437
I�ll give you my telephone number.
You might want to call me.
506
00:49:33,525 --> 00:49:35,683
Not on your life.
507
00:49:36,737 --> 00:49:40,022
- Who told you he was dead?
- That one.
508
00:50:40,801 --> 00:50:42,959
- Hello.
- Hello, Bob?
509
00:50:43,053 --> 00:50:46,422
- No, this is his father.
- Oh, yes, Mr Jones- We've met-
510
00:50:46,515 --> 00:50:49,516
This is Cynthia Goodburn- Is Bob there?
511
00:50:49,601 --> 00:50:52,768
- Uh, no.
- OK, I'll call back- When do you think... - ?
512
00:50:52,854 --> 00:50:56,140
Uh... He�s dead.
513
00:50:56,233 --> 00:50:57,727
What?
514
00:50:57,818 --> 00:51:01,400
- It was an accident.
- Oh, my God!
515
00:51:01,488 --> 00:51:05,106
Oh, my God! Poor Bob!
Oh, God-
516
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,525
- Mrs Goodburn.
- Oh, my God! Not Bob!
517
00:51:07,619 --> 00:51:10,988
- Cynthia.
- Oh, God-
518
00:51:25,095 --> 00:51:28,546
- Mr Jones? I saw you arrive.
519
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,475
I thought you might like some tea.
520
00:51:47,534 --> 00:51:50,239
- I�d like to thank you, Rose.
- Why?
521
00:51:50,328 --> 00:51:53,780
- For clearing the place up.
- I didn�t. What makes you think...?
522
00:51:53,874 --> 00:51:56,543
Someone did.
523
00:51:56,626 --> 00:51:59,164
- Mr Jones. Mr Jones.
- Perhaps Mark?
524
00:51:59,254 --> 00:52:01,330
- You were in the navy.
- Yes.
525
00:52:01,423 --> 00:52:05,006
- So you'll understand about orders.
- Oh, yes.
526
00:52:06,053 --> 00:52:12,850
I�m a section leader, and I have to say this
now and then we�ll all know where we stand.
527
00:52:13,477 --> 00:52:14,675
Oh.
528
00:52:14,770 --> 00:52:19,597
You must be very shocked. Believe me,
it hasn�t been easy at my end, either.
529
00:52:19,691 --> 00:52:23,143
- In what way?
- I can�t discuss that.
530
00:52:23,236 --> 00:52:25,312
So...
531
00:52:25,405 --> 00:52:28,525
what I have to say is this.
532
00:52:29,576 --> 00:52:32,032
We have orders, Mark and I,
533
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,872
not to discuss Bob�s...
534
00:52:34,956 --> 00:52:37,163
What happened.
535
00:52:37,250 --> 00:52:39,160
- Orders?
- Yes.
536
00:52:39,252 --> 00:52:43,332
Particularly with relation to the press,
but with everyone, really.
537
00:52:43,423 --> 00:52:47,207
So if we can just observe that, Mr Jones.
538
00:52:47,302 --> 00:52:49,544
Even relatives?
539
00:52:50,180 --> 00:52:53,549
You can�t talk to a father about his dead son?
540
00:52:55,852 --> 00:53:00,016
You can�t say anything,
even though it might be comforting?
541
00:53:01,441 --> 00:53:05,142
Do you know what I find difficult, Rose?
542
00:53:05,237 --> 00:53:09,365
Is why it is against the national interest
543
00:53:09,449 --> 00:53:12,949
for the press to print
that you and Mark liked him,
544
00:53:13,036 --> 00:53:18,457
and that, although he tended to have
two left feet and fall over the cat,
545
00:53:18,542 --> 00:53:22,041
he was a decent person with a good heart.
546
00:53:22,129 --> 00:53:24,252
That�s not absolutely fair.
547
00:53:24,339 --> 00:53:28,503
You�re perfectly aware of the way
the press twist things and make them up.
548
00:53:28,593 --> 00:53:32,461
- We have our jobs and our futures, too.
- Yes. Yes, I know.
549
00:53:34,224 --> 00:53:36,715
I can see you�re really going to miss him.
550
00:53:36,810 --> 00:53:39,016
How dare you say that?
551
00:53:39,813 --> 00:53:42,684
I�m sleeping here tonight. This is Bob�s room.
552
00:53:42,774 --> 00:53:48,444
You can put a notice on his food cupboard
and a label on his towel in the bathroom.
553
00:55:20,497 --> 00:55:23,913
Dozy bugger. You nearly had me over.
554
00:55:25,460 --> 00:55:29,956
Is that what happened?
You got under his feet?
555
00:55:30,048 --> 00:55:33,334
No. You were down there.
556
00:57:01,515 --> 00:57:05,263
- Apparently, he fell off the roof in the dark.
- I don�t understand.
557
00:57:05,352 --> 00:57:08,269
What was he doing out there?
558
00:57:08,355 --> 00:57:13,480
Rescuing the cat. At least that�s what
everybody seems to want me to believe.
559
00:57:13,568 --> 00:57:16,486
Either that or he committed suicide.
560
00:57:20,242 --> 00:57:22,318
Bob, too?
561
00:57:29,084 --> 00:57:32,784
You must feel pretty bruised,
one way and another.
562
00:57:35,507 --> 00:57:37,665
I thought you didn�t like me.
563
00:57:38,719 --> 00:57:44,804
I just thought you were bad news for Bob.
I mean, married with a kid and everything.
564
00:57:45,851 --> 00:57:48,970
None of that seems to matter much now.
565
00:57:49,062 --> 00:57:51,138
We�ve both lost him.
566
00:57:52,899 --> 00:57:55,390
Not that I�m not prejudiced, you understand.
567
00:57:55,485 --> 00:58:00,906
It�s just that my prejudices
don�t always seem to stand up to actuality.
568
00:58:02,451 --> 00:58:05,120
- That�s what Bob said.
- He did?
569
00:58:05,203 --> 00:58:07,529
Actually, what he said was
570
00:58:07,622 --> 00:58:12,830
that you weren�t really the old
stick in the mud you made yourself out to be.
571
00:58:12,919 --> 00:58:14,995
That sounds like Bob.
572
00:58:17,007 --> 00:58:20,791
Is there something wrong
with your telephone?
573
00:58:20,886 --> 00:58:23,377
No, I don�t think so.
574
00:58:24,598 --> 00:58:28,927
"They have put out the lights
in the ordinary world."
575
00:58:29,019 --> 00:58:31,225
What?
576
00:58:32,355 --> 00:58:35,392
It was something Bob said.
577
00:58:41,073 --> 00:58:44,442
- Mr Jones?
- Yes, very good of you to see me.
578
00:58:44,534 --> 00:58:47,868
What�s the trouble
that the coroner couldn�t deal with?
579
00:58:47,954 --> 00:58:53,411
Just to clear my mind,
I'd be very grateful if you would tell me...
580
00:58:53,502 --> 00:58:59,125
I�d be grateful if you could tell me whether
your officer took away anything as evidence?
581
00:58:59,216 --> 00:59:01,374
Is something missing? Is that it?
582
00:59:01,468 --> 00:59:04,173
- Yes, I think so.
- You think so.
583
00:59:04,262 --> 00:59:07,678
I think my son�s diaries
for this year and last year,
584
00:59:07,766 --> 00:59:11,182
some letters written to him
and some books are missing.
585
00:59:11,269 --> 00:59:16,644
Presumably, because you knew they were
in the room on Sunday last? You�re definite?
586
00:59:16,733 --> 00:59:20,601
No, Inspector. Was anything taken away?
587
00:59:20,695 --> 00:59:24,195
Nothing was removed from the premises
to my knowledge.
588
00:59:24,282 --> 00:59:27,568
I find it a bit difficult to sink in.
589
00:59:28,620 --> 00:59:31,455
Your men went through the house?
590
00:59:31,540 --> 00:59:33,616
Yes.
591
00:59:33,709 --> 00:59:38,667
None of the beds had been slept in and there
was no evidence of anyone having broken in?
592
00:59:38,755 --> 00:59:42,504
- Correct.
- Which leaves the security people.
593
00:59:42,592 --> 00:59:45,961
- What security people?
- GCHQ, of course.
594
00:59:46,054 --> 00:59:48,343
You must�ve been in contact with them.
595
00:59:48,432 --> 00:59:53,177
- What we do is our business, Mr Jones.
- I'll remember that for the interview.
596
00:59:55,272 --> 00:59:59,269
- What interview?
- The BBC phoned me.
597
00:59:59,359 --> 01:00:01,767
Right.
598
01:00:01,862 --> 01:00:04,531
We informed your son�s place of work.
599
01:00:04,614 --> 01:00:08,398
A sergeant interviewed
some of his colleagues.
600
01:00:08,493 --> 01:00:13,155
We received full cooperation
and there was nothing unusual to report.
601
01:00:13,248 --> 01:00:16,202
I hope that puts your mind at rest.
602
01:00:16,293 --> 01:00:19,958
- How did he die?
- Well, that�s for the coroner to decide, sir.
603
01:00:20,047 --> 01:00:24,091
How do you think he died
based on reports you received?
604
01:00:27,220 --> 01:00:29,890
It was almost certainly an accident.
605
01:00:31,183 --> 01:00:33,471
But it could have been a suicide.
606
01:00:34,519 --> 01:00:37,057
There�s no evidence either way. No witnesses.
607
01:00:37,147 --> 01:00:40,895
There�s me. Bob was the last person
in the world to commit suicide.
608
01:00:40,984 --> 01:00:45,445
- Oh, people do it every day.
- Your men took away nothing?
609
01:00:45,530 --> 01:00:49,279
So there was no note and no letter?
610
01:00:49,367 --> 01:00:55,157
If my son had committed suicide,
he would have said why.
611
01:00:55,248 --> 01:00:58,498
- And there was the state of his room.
- What do you mean?
612
01:00:58,585 --> 01:01:00,957
Tidy, really squared away.
613
01:01:02,005 --> 01:01:04,294
Someone else did that. Not Bob - never.
614
01:01:04,383 --> 01:01:08,131
With respect, sir,
you�ve been watching too much television.
615
01:01:13,433 --> 01:01:15,722
I�m sorry I�m late.
616
01:01:19,189 --> 01:01:22,225
What do you think of this wine, eh?
617
01:01:32,619 --> 01:01:36,154
- Thanks for coming.
- How was it?
618
01:01:36,248 --> 01:01:41,040
Infuriating. The inspector
was too condescending by half.
619
01:01:41,128 --> 01:01:45,873
And there was another bloke there -
plain clothes. Never opened his mouth.
620
01:01:45,966 --> 01:01:48,836
I�ve asked Bill Pickett to join us.
621
01:01:51,596 --> 01:01:54,052
You could see I was trying to get in there.
622
01:01:54,141 --> 01:01:56,347
Oh, tough titty.
623
01:01:57,477 --> 01:01:59,221
All I know is that since Dodgson,
624
01:01:59,312 --> 01:02:03,262
there have been three sudden deaths
at GCHQ Cheltenham in as many months.
625
01:02:03,358 --> 01:02:07,687
The last thing I want to find out is that
our security services had a hand in them.
626
01:02:07,779 --> 01:02:09,855
Why should they?
627
01:02:09,948 --> 01:02:14,527
Do you know what was the most
surprising thing about the CIA revelations?
628
01:02:14,619 --> 01:02:16,695
Their paranoia.
629
01:02:16,788 --> 01:02:19,955
People who spy and tell lies
are like mental patients.
630
01:02:20,041 --> 01:02:24,502
It�s a form of flight from reality.
They�re not answerable and they know it.
631
01:02:24,588 --> 01:02:27,293
There�s no reason for them not to overreact.
632
01:02:27,382 --> 01:02:29,790
And it won�t do.
633
01:02:29,885 --> 01:02:34,262
They�re completely incapable of
distinguishing between dissent and treason.
634
01:02:34,347 --> 01:02:39,804
As far as they�re concerned, anyone
who rocks the boat is a threat. To what?
635
01:02:39,895 --> 01:02:43,311
Their idea of good order.
636
01:02:43,398 --> 01:02:47,099
All right. The point is,
what are we going to do?
637
01:02:47,194 --> 01:02:50,195
Bob didn�t tell you the name of the man
Mark put him onto?
638
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:55,785
He said, uh, what I didn�t know
wouldn�t hurt me or Tiffany.
639
01:02:56,745 --> 01:02:59,948
Yeah, but he went down
to see this Mr X at East Grinstead
640
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,243
the weekend before he called me.
641
01:03:03,335 --> 01:03:05,244
And came back absolutely certain
642
01:03:05,337 --> 01:03:09,833
that our side wouldn�t have thought twice
about murdering Allen if it had suited them.
643
01:03:09,925 --> 01:03:15,512
Presumably that�s what he hoped to
persuade this character to confirm to me,
644
01:03:15,597 --> 01:03:19,511
at which point... Bob falls off a roof.
645
01:03:19,601 --> 01:03:23,052
When he was conveniently
alone in the house.
646
01:03:23,146 --> 01:03:25,898
Well, I�d better get on and find this Mr X.
647
01:03:25,982 --> 01:03:30,977
There can�t be that many dirty-tricks men
living in retirement in East Grinstead.
648
01:03:31,071 --> 01:03:34,404
Although on second thoughts...
I�ll be in touch.
649
01:03:34,491 --> 01:03:38,654
- Pickett, I want the truth.
- Don�t we all?
650
01:03:38,745 --> 01:03:44,036
I am not interested in making political capital
out of the death of my son.
651
01:03:44,126 --> 01:03:49,333
If this story holds up,
you might not be able to avoid it.
652
01:03:49,423 --> 01:03:53,207
In fact, with a bit of luck,
it might bring down the government.
653
01:03:53,301 --> 01:03:54,961
See you.
654
01:03:56,012 --> 01:03:58,883
I�m not out to change the system.
655
01:03:58,974 --> 01:04:02,307
No, but we need someone
with that kind of commitment.
656
01:04:02,394 --> 01:04:07,222
If we�re right,
what happened to Bob and Allen and us
657
01:04:07,315 --> 01:04:10,566
doesn't affect 98% of the population,
658
01:04:10,652 --> 01:04:14,697
but it could hit any one of them
like a car crash.
659
01:04:14,781 --> 01:04:17,533
The least we can do is tell them the odds.
660
01:04:19,995 --> 01:04:22,616
Let�s just stay with the facts.
661
01:04:22,706 --> 01:04:27,284
The people who live there, the police,
the security services, all agree
662
01:04:27,377 --> 01:04:33,914
that there was no suspicion of anything
except an accident or suicide.
663
01:04:34,009 --> 01:04:36,132
- Not suicide.
- OK.
664
01:04:36,219 --> 01:04:39,173
You say that�s out of character.
You should know.
665
01:04:39,264 --> 01:04:42,431
In which case, pace the coroner,
666
01:04:42,517 --> 01:04:47,263
the verdict has got to be a tragic accident.
667
01:04:48,565 --> 01:04:50,937
But one -just one -
668
01:04:51,026 --> 01:04:56,482
not very distinguished
politically motivated journalist is in there
669
01:04:56,573 --> 01:04:59,657
trying to whoop it up
into another GCHQ scandal.
670
01:04:59,743 --> 01:05:01,819
And what do you do? You cry murder.
671
01:05:01,912 --> 01:05:04,070
There was his room.
672
01:05:05,123 --> 01:05:08,955
For God�s sake, couldn�t your son
have decided to clean up his own room
673
01:05:09,044 --> 01:05:11,665
just once in 28 years?
674
01:05:13,215 --> 01:05:15,706
You may be right.
675
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:19,512
There�s no "maybe" about it.
676
01:05:20,555 --> 01:05:25,383
Look, I�m going to be based in your friendly
neighbourhood Sheraton Hotel for a bit,
677
01:05:25,477 --> 01:05:28,763
so if you feel like drowning your sorrows,
give me a bell.
678
01:05:28,855 --> 01:05:30,848
Right.
679
01:05:30,941 --> 01:05:32,565
Take it easy.
680
01:05:39,408 --> 01:05:44,319
If you tell the majority of people that a bloke
was about to breach our security service,
681
01:05:44,413 --> 01:05:49,537
but he fell off a roof and was killed, they�d
say, �serves him right. What do you expect?"
682
01:05:49,626 --> 01:05:53,161
And so would I, because up until now
I was part of that majority.
683
01:05:53,255 --> 01:05:56,920
I would have said you don�t sign on for that
and then break your word.
684
01:05:57,008 --> 01:05:59,085
- And now?
- I don�t know.
685
01:05:59,177 --> 01:06:04,848
I don�t have any powerful friends. I can�t go to
my lawyer or my MP. The verdict�s already in.
686
01:06:04,933 --> 01:06:09,097
The only way of telling ordinary people
is to go over the heads of that lot.
687
01:06:09,187 --> 01:06:13,315
And that, God help me,
puts me in bed with a bastard like Bill Pickett.
688
01:06:21,032 --> 01:06:23,440
- Hello?
- It's Bill Pickett- Is Frank there?
689
01:06:23,535 --> 01:06:27,367
- Yes.
- We've found our man-
690
01:06:27,456 --> 01:06:30,373
Frank, it�s Bill for you.
691
01:06:30,459 --> 01:06:32,784
He�s found Mr X.
692
01:06:35,422 --> 01:06:38,506
He wouldn't
give me the name over the phone,
693
01:06:38,592 --> 01:06:44,179
but we were to meet him
at the junction of the A4 and the A217-
694
01:07:16,838 --> 01:07:19,412
Shit!
695
01:07:28,850 --> 01:07:30,724
No!
696
01:07:50,247 --> 01:07:52,405
You might as well take your time, lads.
697
01:07:52,499 --> 01:07:55,286
Move along, please, sir.
698
01:07:59,131 --> 01:08:03,627
For as much as it has pleased
Almighty God of his great mercy
699
01:08:03,719 --> 01:08:08,427
to take unto himself the soul
of our dear brother, Robert Jones...
700
01:08:10,183 --> 01:08:14,098
We therefore commit his body to the ground.
701
01:08:14,187 --> 01:08:16,513
Earth to earth,
702
01:08:16,606 --> 01:08:18,266
ashes to ashes,
703
01:08:18,358 --> 01:08:20,315
dust to dust.
704
01:08:20,402 --> 01:08:25,562
In sure and certain hope of resurrection to
eternal life through Our Lord, Jesus Christ,
705
01:08:25,657 --> 01:08:31,530
who shall change our vile body
that it may be like unto his glorious body,
706
01:08:31,621 --> 01:08:33,947
according to the mighty working
707
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:39,627
whereby he is able
to subdue all things to himself.
708
01:09:13,830 --> 01:09:16,950
I never understood about revolutionaries.
709
01:09:18,585 --> 01:09:20,661
I do now.
710
01:09:21,963 --> 01:09:24,715
But I don�t have the stomach for it.
711
01:09:29,971 --> 01:09:33,554
I don�t know what else I can do, Bob.
712
01:09:39,231 --> 01:09:41,804
And that�s the truth.
713
01:10:00,585 --> 01:10:04,334
- I was relieved about the verdict, Mr Jones.
- Oh?
714
01:10:04,423 --> 01:10:06,581
I, um...
715
01:10:06,675 --> 01:10:12,796
Sorry to be conspiratorial. There�s nothing to
be conspiratorial about, but since Dodgson...
716
01:10:12,889 --> 01:10:19,343
Look, we were all told to do it after him.
They said it helped keep people on the rails.
717
01:10:19,438 --> 01:10:25,024
And in my position... When they PV�d me,
I kept something back, so when Bob...
718
01:10:25,110 --> 01:10:28,858
I told them he�d been asking questions
about Goodburn�s suicide.
719
01:10:28,947 --> 01:10:32,565
Well, you can�t blame yourself
for telling the truth.
720
01:10:32,659 --> 01:10:35,909
No. No, of course not. I just...
721
01:10:37,831 --> 01:10:42,125
Look, there�s been a terrible atmosphere
at work and every kind of rumour.
722
01:10:42,210 --> 01:10:44,784
I can�t imagine how bad it must be for you.
723
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:47,834
I just wanted to get it off my chest
that I�m very sorry.
724
01:10:47,924 --> 01:10:53,299
Don�t worry about it. I know you were
Bob�s friend and wouldn�t let him down.
725
01:10:53,388 --> 01:10:57,338
I wouldn�t let them bring in
a verdict of suicide, anyway.
726
01:10:57,434 --> 01:11:02,345
- I can�t tell you what a relief it is.
- You see, I think he was murdered.
727
01:11:03,899 --> 01:11:05,856
Oh, Christ.
728
01:11:05,942 --> 01:11:08,647
No, that�s impossible. I didn�t mean to...
729
01:11:08,737 --> 01:11:12,651
- Look, I�d better go.
- Yes, go and tell them what I think.
730
01:11:12,741 --> 01:11:15,944
No, I�d never do that,
but I don�t believe Bob was murdered.
731
01:11:16,036 --> 01:11:19,784
Oh, yes, you do. You believed it when I said it.
732
01:11:19,873 --> 01:11:22,625
You felt it like I did.
733
01:11:22,709 --> 01:11:24,868
Why do you feel like that, Mark?
734
01:11:25,921 --> 01:11:27,581
Bob was...
735
01:11:27,672 --> 01:11:29,748
like Dostoevsky�s idiot -
736
01:11:29,841 --> 01:11:32,712
no help to anybody.
737
01:11:32,803 --> 01:11:38,722
All the same, I loved him. I�m not gay,
but I loved him because he had this quality.
738
01:11:40,352 --> 01:11:44,563
I don�t know why I betrayed him. The quality
he had was to show you what you are.
739
01:11:44,648 --> 01:11:49,725
I don�t know.
If it was, I�m a sort of natural Judas.
740
01:11:51,071 --> 01:11:53,443
I did it in a dream, almost.
741
01:11:55,158 --> 01:11:58,823
I never meant to, right up to the moment
I knocked on the HEO�s door.
742
01:11:58,912 --> 01:12:01,948
The same as now -
I never meant to betray them to you.
743
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,741
You sent him to see someone, we know that.
Who was it?
744
01:12:07,087 --> 01:12:10,705
- I can�t say it. I can�t say it to you.
- You fucking fruitcake!
745
01:12:10,799 --> 01:12:13,670
Who did you send him to? Eh?
746
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:15,717
Greig.
747
01:12:18,014 --> 01:12:19,888
Greig?
748
01:12:21,476 --> 01:12:25,011
They told you to send him to Charlie Greig?
749
01:12:25,105 --> 01:12:28,106
They said he was a friend of the family.
750
01:13:17,908 --> 01:13:20,233
Come in, come in.
751
01:13:21,286 --> 01:13:23,694
Get an eyeful, huh?
752
01:13:24,748 --> 01:13:29,077
Thank God for the old expense account.
Where would we be without it?
753
01:13:29,169 --> 01:13:32,040
- Where indeed.
- Take your coat off.
754
01:13:32,130 --> 01:13:34,502
Sit down. What'll it be?
755
01:13:34,591 --> 01:13:37,047
Vodka with anything, really. Tonic.
756
01:13:37,135 --> 01:13:39,009
Right.
757
01:13:39,096 --> 01:13:42,465
Well, it�s not the real thing,
758
01:13:42,557 --> 01:13:44,349
so, um...
759
01:13:44,434 --> 01:13:47,803
we don�t have to be too frugal, do we?
760
01:13:49,606 --> 01:13:51,682
- Are you all right?
- I�m fine.
761
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:59,614
Remember that time
the old man went bananas?
762
01:13:59,699 --> 01:14:03,400
He came onto the main deck,
he said to the marine corporal...
763
01:14:03,495 --> 01:14:08,951
I was there. He said to the marine corporal,
"Get that horse out of my cabin."
764
01:14:10,168 --> 01:14:13,668
Marvellous.
He was a two-bottle-a-day man, he was.
765
01:14:15,716 --> 01:14:18,289
- Well, cheers.
- Cheers.
766
01:14:21,930 --> 01:14:25,631
Nobody remembers
any of that, do they? Korea.
767
01:14:25,726 --> 01:14:30,601
By God. If we�d had the same publicity
they gave the Falklands, eh?
768
01:14:30,689 --> 01:14:33,856
All those smartarses saying it wouldn�t work,
769
01:14:33,942 --> 01:14:36,978
then when it did,
saying it shouldn�t have happened.
770
01:14:37,070 --> 01:14:43,986
I mean, there we were in Korea
flying piston-engined aircraft against MiGs.
771
01:14:44,077 --> 01:14:46,995
How many pilots did we lose
in those two years, eh?
772
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:49,488
And that was just us.
773
01:14:51,209 --> 01:14:54,828
- We did it, though.
- Yes, we did, didn�t we?
774
01:14:59,259 --> 01:15:06,258
You were the best Carmen Miranda
I ever saw.
775
01:15:06,349 --> 01:15:10,264
And you were the best pilot I ever met.
776
01:15:10,353 --> 01:15:11,634
No.
777
01:15:11,730 --> 01:15:16,937
"Fixed wing", as they say now,
but definitely a natural.
778
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:20,526
So, cheers, old boy.
779
01:15:20,614 --> 01:15:22,690
Cheers.
780
01:15:27,496 --> 01:15:30,865
It�s bite-on-a-bullet time.
781
01:15:30,957 --> 01:15:35,287
I�m finally beginning to get myself
sorted out about old Bob.
782
01:15:36,338 --> 01:15:40,170
I�ve been a bit of a bore about it,
I know, but...
783
01:15:40,258 --> 01:15:42,666
I really miss the silly bugger.
784
01:15:42,761 --> 01:15:45,631
Of course you do.
785
01:15:46,932 --> 01:15:49,174
Oh.
786
01:15:49,267 --> 01:15:51,805
Time to pump ship.
787
01:15:51,895 --> 01:15:54,351
The old bladder�s beginning to shrink.
788
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:57,109
You want to watch that - that�s the first sign.
789
01:16:00,445 --> 01:16:02,023
Hold hard!
790
01:16:11,373 --> 01:16:15,240
I can�t get over you
doing the old James Bond.
791
01:16:15,335 --> 01:16:19,084
I should be so lucky. No birds,
792
01:16:20,132 --> 01:16:22,753
nothing stirred and not much shaken.
793
01:16:24,010 --> 01:16:27,960
Ooh, God. It�s... it�s my turn now.
794
01:16:28,056 --> 01:16:29,848
Oh! Oh!
795
01:16:29,933 --> 01:16:33,598
Oh, God! Oh!
796
01:16:33,687 --> 01:16:35,644
Oh!
797
01:16:35,731 --> 01:16:37,972
Oh! Oh-ho!
798
01:16:38,066 --> 01:16:39,810
Oh, the relief!
799
01:16:41,945 --> 01:16:47,319
Did you... did you hear the one
about the blind man out for a walk?
800
01:16:47,409 --> 01:16:50,742
The guide dog cocks its leg all over him
801
01:16:50,829 --> 01:16:55,906
and the blind man stops
and fishes out a dog biscuit.
802
01:16:56,001 --> 01:16:59,370
He�s just about to offer it
to the faithless hound
803
01:16:59,463 --> 01:17:02,713
when this Barbara Woodhouse character
dashes across...
804
01:17:02,799 --> 01:17:07,508
"Look here," she says,
"you can�t reward the animal for doing that!"
805
01:17:07,596 --> 01:17:11,593
"Reward it?" the man says. "Reward it?!"
806
01:17:11,683 --> 01:17:15,135
"I may be blind but I�m not daft."
807
01:17:15,228 --> 01:17:18,811
"I�m just trying to find out
which end his head is
808
01:17:18,899 --> 01:17:21,734
so as I can kick his arse in!"
809
01:17:24,029 --> 01:17:27,896
- Christ, it�s warm in there.
- Here we are. Double-O Charlie.
810
01:17:27,991 --> 01:17:31,194
- Double-O Charlie.
- Bottoms up.
811
01:17:32,871 --> 01:17:36,205
- Up spirits.
- Stand...
812
01:17:36,291 --> 01:17:38,829
stand fast the Holy Ghost.
813
01:17:40,962 --> 01:17:42,872
Jesus.
814
01:17:42,964 --> 01:17:44,874
- You want some tonic?
- Tonic, yes.
815
01:17:44,966 --> 01:17:48,133
Here we are.
Here we are. Here�s some tonic.
816
01:17:48,220 --> 01:17:49,880
- Ice.
- You want ice with that?
817
01:17:49,971 --> 01:17:52,676
- Yeah.
- Here we are.
818
01:17:52,766 --> 01:17:56,182
There�s some ice, Charlie.
Cheers. Cheers.
819
01:17:59,731 --> 01:18:01,273
- Oh, lovely.
- Oh!
820
01:18:07,406 --> 01:18:11,154
- I keep thinking about that weekend.
- Eh?
821
01:18:11,243 --> 01:18:14,078
Bob alone in the house.
822
01:18:15,330 --> 01:18:17,619
He was my son.
823
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,040
My son.
824
01:18:21,128 --> 01:18:23,666
My son.
825
01:18:24,965 --> 01:18:28,548
Old pal. Old pal.
826
01:18:29,761 --> 01:18:35,681
That�s why I didn�t want to get involved.
I told them. I said, "I don�t want any part of it."
827
01:18:35,767 --> 01:18:38,139
But...
828
01:18:38,228 --> 01:18:40,600
once you�re in, you�re in for life.
829
01:18:40,689 --> 01:18:44,687
They�ve got you by the short and curlies.
You know how it is.
830
01:18:44,776 --> 01:18:47,481
Yeah, I know.
831
01:18:48,071 --> 01:18:51,440
And you... you weren�t any help.
832
01:18:52,492 --> 01:18:55,363
Making out Bob was a timid sort of bloke.
833
01:18:58,874 --> 01:19:03,037
- So you tried to scare him off, eh?
- I knew I bloody could.
834
01:19:03,128 --> 01:19:07,671
"Oh, all right", I said. "Leave it to me", I said.
835
01:19:07,758 --> 01:19:12,135
But because of what happened
to Cynthia�s husband,
836
01:19:12,220 --> 01:19:16,550
Bob was so shocked,
he became even more suspicious.
837
01:19:16,641 --> 01:19:20,141
You can imagine where that left me.
838
01:19:20,228 --> 01:19:24,689
"You got us into this, Commander,
you get us out of it."
839
01:19:24,775 --> 01:19:26,684
Bastards.
840
01:19:26,777 --> 01:19:30,644
"Oh, yes, sir. No, sir. Three bags full."
841
01:19:35,869 --> 01:19:39,819
I still don�t see why you had to kill him.
842
01:19:44,461 --> 01:19:48,624
Kill your son? Me?
Come on, Frank. I know you.
843
01:19:48,715 --> 01:19:51,253
I flew with you.
844
01:19:51,343 --> 01:19:55,756
Besides, we don�t do that sort of thing
to our people. Don�t look at me like that.
845
01:19:55,847 --> 01:20:00,390
Don�t you realise what happened?
Can�t you... put it together?
846
01:20:00,477 --> 01:20:05,388
There was no sign of a struggle,
there was no break-in that Sunday.
847
01:20:06,483 --> 01:20:08,559
- Bob was expecting you.
- Nice, but...
848
01:20:08,652 --> 01:20:11,818
Now, if you didn�t kill him,
849
01:20:12,948 --> 01:20:17,740
I don�t know many ways to fix an accident,
but I�ve read about three,
850
01:20:17,828 --> 01:20:21,956
and one of them
is where you jab a certain point
851
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:27,710
and the bloke blacks out
without leaving any mark. Eh?
852
01:20:29,464 --> 01:20:31,540
Was that your job?
853
01:20:31,633 --> 01:20:36,840
When I�d done it,
I went out, left the door unlocked.
854
01:20:38,807 --> 01:20:42,390
But I swear to God, Frank,
he was only unconscious!
855
01:20:42,477 --> 01:20:44,933
I didn�t know those bastards...
856
01:20:45,021 --> 01:20:47,144
Fr... Frank.
857
01:20:48,191 --> 01:20:49,935
Forgive me.
858
01:20:50,026 --> 01:20:51,355
I forgive you.
859
01:20:51,445 --> 01:20:54,018
My job was...
860
01:20:54,656 --> 01:20:58,784
to make sure the other lot
could get in without any aggro.
861
01:20:58,869 --> 01:21:04,788
I thought they were just going to, you know,
lean on him a little bit. I mean, I didn�t know...
862
01:21:04,875 --> 01:21:07,247
Which other lot?
863
01:21:07,335 --> 01:21:11,416
- You what, old dear?
- Which others, Charlie?
864
01:21:11,506 --> 01:21:14,080
Oh, well,
865
01:21:14,176 --> 01:21:18,672
whoever the Yanks sent in
to do their dirty work for them.
866
01:21:20,098 --> 01:21:22,768
Yanks?
867
01:21:22,851 --> 01:21:24,131
Uh...
868
01:21:24,227 --> 01:21:27,892
The whole setup was...
869
01:21:28,982 --> 01:21:33,727
was so that the Yanks
wouldn�t rumble who the real villains were.
870
01:21:33,820 --> 01:21:40,404
- Do you know who they are?
- Oh. Some cipher clerk at GCHQ and...
871
01:21:40,494 --> 01:21:42,700
Who else, Charlie?
872
01:21:43,789 --> 01:21:46,873
No. I�ve talked enough already.
873
01:21:46,958 --> 01:21:51,371
That�s cos I�m feeling rotten about Bob.
874
01:21:51,463 --> 01:21:55,876
Anyway, knowing won�t do you any good.
They'll just lock you up,
875
01:21:55,967 --> 01:21:58,755
or worse, and me if I tell you.
876
01:21:58,845 --> 01:22:01,383
You�re still going to.
877
01:22:02,849 --> 01:22:04,723
Oh!
878
01:22:06,186 --> 01:22:07,431
Chapple!
879
01:22:07,521 --> 01:22:10,190
For God�s sake, Frank!
880
01:22:10,273 --> 01:22:13,440
Sir Adrian bleeding Chapple.
881
01:22:18,365 --> 01:22:21,900
Now do you see? Bob got too close.
882
01:22:21,993 --> 01:22:24,911
That�s why they threw him to the wolves.
883
01:22:25,956 --> 01:22:30,618
There�s not a blind thing that you and me...
We can�t do anything about it. No.
884
01:22:30,711 --> 01:22:34,791
Because they�re establishment,
they�re the closed ranks!
885
01:22:34,881 --> 01:22:37,716
So, for God�s sake, Frank...
886
01:22:37,801 --> 01:22:40,173
Oh, Jesus!
887
01:22:40,262 --> 01:22:44,094
I used to be able to drink, you know.
888
01:23:48,163 --> 01:23:52,374
There�s no reason for Mrs Goodburn
or the child to come to any harm,
889
01:23:52,459 --> 01:23:54,784
providing you�re sensible.
890
01:24:58,233 --> 01:25:02,397
You must understand that
our special relationship with the Americans
891
01:25:02,487 --> 01:25:04,563
is at a low ebb.
892
01:25:06,992 --> 01:25:12,662
Our record in the matter of security
has been quite appalling.
893
01:25:12,748 --> 01:25:17,409
40 years of damage
inflicted on the alliance by vassals.
894
01:25:17,502 --> 01:25:21,630
Blake, Blunt, Prime, Bettaney,
895
01:25:21,715 --> 01:25:24,253
old uncle Kim Philby and the rest.
896
01:25:27,637 --> 01:25:32,976
We are at the beck and call of the Americans.
Our national survival depends upon it.
897
01:25:35,687 --> 01:25:41,975
The so-called "independent British deterrent"
is a meaningless indulgence to the past.
898
01:25:42,069 --> 01:25:48,321
The days when nuclear stalemate
meant no nuclear war are long gone.
899
01:25:48,408 --> 01:25:52,240
Now, nuclear war is expected and planned for.
900
01:25:53,288 --> 01:25:57,072
All that remains in question
are its timing and extent.
901
01:25:58,418 --> 01:26:01,503
Such warning as we get
will be from electronic espionage
902
01:26:01,588 --> 01:26:07,424
by GCHQ Cheltenham
and its linked stations at home and abroad.
903
01:26:08,595 --> 01:26:15,558
The consequences were the Americans to
deny us access to their giant spy machine
904
01:26:15,644 --> 01:26:18,728
are simply too awful to contemplate.
905
01:26:24,569 --> 01:26:28,697
I could justify a great deal
in terms of the coming wrath.
906
01:26:28,782 --> 01:26:35,366
It is not, happily, my task
to justify the sequence of events
907
01:26:35,455 --> 01:26:38,990
which resulted in your son�s tragic death.
908
01:26:40,043 --> 01:26:46,924
I am merely authorised by Her Majesty�s
government to set the matter in its context.
909
01:26:51,847 --> 01:26:53,923
The Americans believed
910
01:26:54,015 --> 01:26:58,761
that Dodgson had two named associates
involved with him at GCHQ Cheltenham,
911
01:26:58,854 --> 01:27:01,855
and they suspected there was a third man.
912
01:27:01,940 --> 01:27:05,143
Do you see now
why we had to go along with that?
913
01:27:06,403 --> 01:27:10,650
You�re telling me that this whole thing
was to prevent the Americans,
914
01:27:10,741 --> 01:27:13,658
our allies,
from finding out that the real traitors
915
01:27:13,744 --> 01:27:17,575
were higher placed than Kedge or Goodburn?
916
01:27:17,664 --> 01:27:20,202
One of them, certainly.
917
01:27:20,292 --> 01:27:23,328
It was the only chance we had
to uncover him.
918
01:27:23,420 --> 01:27:26,089
- Well, have you?
- Yes.
919
01:27:26,173 --> 01:27:27,916
What did you do with him?
920
01:27:28,008 --> 01:27:30,415
Left him until we assess
the damage he�s done
921
01:27:30,510 --> 01:27:34,211
and how most effectively to use him
to embarrass the Russians.
922
01:27:34,306 --> 01:27:40,593
When you�ll do a deal with him so he can
draw a pension and have tea with the queen.
923
01:27:40,687 --> 01:27:45,812
And you expect me to shut up about the fact
that my son, among other innocents,
924
01:27:45,901 --> 01:27:48,570
were expendable in this charade?
925
01:27:50,989 --> 01:27:54,323
You don�t have any alternative, Jones.
926
01:27:54,409 --> 01:27:57,494
What will you do? Arrange another accident?
927
01:27:58,747 --> 01:28:00,739
That won�t be necessary.
928
01:28:00,832 --> 01:28:05,293
Any attempt on your part
to publish or broadcast, expose, sue, litigate
929
01:28:05,379 --> 01:28:11,499
on the basis of what you know or may
surmise will simply never see the light of day.
930
01:28:11,593 --> 01:28:14,796
I have killed people before.
931
01:28:14,888 --> 01:28:18,968
And when my best friend
was shot down over Korea,
932
01:28:19,059 --> 01:28:21,728
I also did it with pleasure.
933
01:28:21,812 --> 01:28:27,731
And if I were to kill you,
the publicity surrounding my trial...
934
01:28:27,818 --> 01:28:31,650
Cases involving national security
are held in camera.
935
01:28:31,738 --> 01:28:36,945
If you�re thinking of other ways of drawing
public attention to yourself, don�t bother.
936
01:28:37,035 --> 01:28:42,112
We would merely arrange for you
to be taken into psychiatric care.
937
01:28:42,207 --> 01:28:46,703
A breakdown following
your son�s tragic accident.
938
01:28:46,795 --> 01:28:50,330
As for Mrs Goodburn,
well, you wouldn�t be here
939
01:28:50,424 --> 01:28:55,798
if you didn�t realise that the child makes her
much more vulnerable than you are.
940
01:29:11,445 --> 01:29:14,232
I had a phone call.
941
01:29:14,322 --> 01:29:17,407
Anonymous. They were polite but, uh...
942
01:29:19,536 --> 01:29:23,071
I�ve already lost two people that I loved.
943
01:29:23,165 --> 01:29:27,494
I couldn�t bear it
if anything were to happen to Tiffany.
944
01:29:27,586 --> 01:29:30,159
Or you, come to that.
945
01:29:31,131 --> 01:29:36,042
I never, ever thought I�d be beaten,
not in my ordinary life.
946
01:29:36,136 --> 01:29:41,676
I always knew I�d have to fight,
but I always reckoned I�d win.
947
01:29:43,101 --> 01:29:46,351
That�s the worst part of it. I let you down.
948
01:29:47,397 --> 01:29:49,604
You and Bob.
949
01:29:50,650 --> 01:29:52,892
What do you want, Frank?
950
01:29:53,945 --> 01:29:56,271
I'll tell you what I want.
951
01:29:56,364 --> 01:29:58,523
I want to believe in England again.
952
01:30:37,948 --> 01:30:41,780
Ah. Collecting for the British Legion,
I imagine?
953
01:30:41,868 --> 01:30:46,246
You�re fortunate. It�s my man�s day off.
He lacks charity. Do come in.
954
01:30:56,508 --> 01:30:59,959
Can I offer you a drink?
I expect you�d like a beer.
955
01:31:00,053 --> 01:31:04,051
I may not be able to accommodate you there,
but gin or whisky?
956
01:31:04,141 --> 01:31:05,172
No, thank you.
957
01:31:05,267 --> 01:31:09,561
Oh, you don�t drink while on duty.
Very laudable, I�m sure.
958
01:31:14,776 --> 01:31:16,650
Here.
959
01:31:19,531 --> 01:31:21,903
I don�t get it.
960
01:31:22,951 --> 01:31:25,703
- Who are you?
- My son was killed because of you.
961
01:31:25,787 --> 01:31:27,994
You�re clearly deranged.
962
01:31:28,081 --> 01:31:31,450
He got too close to finding out
that our security people
963
01:31:31,543 --> 01:31:34,746
were letting the Americans eliminate stooges
964
01:31:34,838 --> 01:31:38,670
so that they could get a line
on the real villain - you.
965
01:31:38,759 --> 01:31:40,716
So why haven�t I been arrested?
966
01:31:40,802 --> 01:31:44,052
They wanted you to stay in place
until they found out enough
967
01:31:44,139 --> 01:31:47,306
to make you an offer you couldn�t refuse.
968
01:31:51,480 --> 01:31:53,971
If you�re right, there�s nothing you can do.
969
01:31:54,066 --> 01:31:57,435
Not a lot. They made that clear.
970
01:31:58,904 --> 01:32:03,815
Just tell me...
I mean, my son was killed because of you.
971
01:32:03,909 --> 01:32:09,199
I don�t understand how someone like you
with everything going for you
972
01:32:09,289 --> 01:32:11,614
could become a traitor.
973
01:32:11,708 --> 01:32:16,417
I can�t be expected to explain my thoughts
to someone of your intellectual calibre.
974
01:32:16,505 --> 01:32:22,175
Oh, I thought the whole point was
that you were on the side of the workers.
975
01:32:23,220 --> 01:32:25,426
Very well.
976
01:32:27,599 --> 01:32:33,353
I had an average, upper-class education.
Genuinely of the right. Churchill was my hero.
977
01:32:33,438 --> 01:32:38,184
I went up to Oxford
and joined the civil service as a high-flyer
978
01:32:38,276 --> 01:32:41,692
content with Britain�s part in the world.
979
01:32:41,780 --> 01:32:44,188
- So, what happened?
- Nothing.
980
01:32:44,282 --> 01:32:48,066
By which I mean
there was no blinding flash of revelation.
981
01:32:48,161 --> 01:32:52,657
Just gradually I became aware
how insignificant we were.
982
01:32:52,749 --> 01:32:55,703
The world had to choose
between the two superpowers.
983
01:32:55,794 --> 01:32:58,415
I chose Russia.
984
01:32:58,505 --> 01:33:02,633
It wasn�t a moral judgment initially,
more an aesthetic one.
985
01:33:02,718 --> 01:33:08,471
It took the Suez affair to bring home
the total futility of the British position.
986
01:33:09,599 --> 01:33:14,475
We tried and failed humiliatingly
to halt the march of progress,
987
01:33:14,563 --> 01:33:17,517
and we had no alternative to offer.
988
01:33:17,607 --> 01:33:21,985
Paradoxically, it was the way
in which the Americans, our allies,
989
01:33:22,070 --> 01:33:27,694
sabotaged that desperate venture that
confirmed my commitment to the other camp.
990
01:33:27,784 --> 01:33:30,904
Nothing that�s happened since
has caused me to change it.
991
01:33:30,996 --> 01:33:35,871
Our own political posturing
is neither moral not relevant.
992
01:33:36,918 --> 01:33:42,754
As for America, the standard-bearer
of the West, she�s not simply in decline,
993
01:33:42,841 --> 01:33:48,464
she�s dying from a combination of greed,
paranoia and social injustice.
994
01:33:48,555 --> 01:33:54,344
And her death throes drive her to
ever more dangerous feats of brinkmanship,
995
01:33:54,436 --> 01:33:57,472
both in Europe, Central America and in space.
996
01:33:59,274 --> 01:34:05,443
If you really believe all that,
why don�t you go and live in bloody Russia?
997
01:34:05,530 --> 01:34:08,152
I knew I was wasting my time.
998
01:34:08,241 --> 01:34:14,280
I'll tell you why. Because your sort
always manages to have its cake and eat it.
999
01:34:14,372 --> 01:34:17,290
I mean, look at this place.
1000
01:34:18,335 --> 01:34:23,044
- It makes me sick.
- Well, what is it you want?
1001
01:34:23,131 --> 01:34:29,798
I want your written confession of what you�ve
been giving to the Russians and for how long.
1002
01:34:29,888 --> 01:34:31,715
It won�t do you any good.
1003
01:34:31,807 --> 01:34:34,843
I know it won�t bring my son back,
1004
01:34:34,935 --> 01:34:40,391
but it�ll stop you living off the fat of a country
you�ve been betraying for so long
1005
01:34:40,482 --> 01:34:45,191
from your secure, pensionable position
near the top of the heap.
1006
01:34:46,196 --> 01:34:50,146
- You can�t force me...
- Just do it.
1007
01:34:52,702 --> 01:34:54,944
As you wish.
1008
01:36:03,148 --> 01:36:05,817
I imagine you�ll want to vet it.
1009
01:36:20,624 --> 01:36:22,912
This will do.
1010
01:36:24,086 --> 01:36:27,371
- And now perhaps you�ll return it.
1011
01:36:29,049 --> 01:36:32,299
One hates to be melodramatic, but, um...
1012
01:36:43,021 --> 01:36:45,228
Argh!
1013
01:36:57,744 --> 01:37:03,913
"Any attempt on your part
to publish, broadcast, expose, sue or litigate
1014
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:06,491
will simply never see the light of day-"
1015
01:37:26,356 --> 01:37:31,943
And to God�s gracious mercy
and protection we commit you.
1016
01:37:32,028 --> 01:37:35,113
The Lord bless you and keep you,
1017
01:37:35,198 --> 01:37:41,237
the Lord make his face to shine upon you
and be gracious unto you.
1018
01:37:41,329 --> 01:37:46,490
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you
and give you peace,
1019
01:37:46,585 --> 01:37:49,704
both now and evermore.
1020
01:37:49,796 --> 01:37:51,872
Amen.
1021
01:37:58,305 --> 01:38:00,760
Quick march!
1022
01:39:55,797 --> 01:40:02,049
It would be conniving to do nothing,
knowing what I know now, don't you see?
1023
01:40:03,764 --> 01:40:08,342
Their secret world
has put out the light of the ordinary world-
1024
01:40:18,111 --> 01:40:21,729
I still believe that the man in the white hat
always wins in the end,
1025
01:40:21,823 --> 01:40:24,361
and I intend to prove it-
