What a great evening. Thank you. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
If you want, I could come in, pour you a drink. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
Tell you the problem. I'm not thirsty. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |

-'Yeah?' -No luck. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
'Why? What happened?' | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
I don't know why. I have to try something else. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
What's this? | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
-It's lobster. -I've never had it. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
OK. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
I don't think my mom wants me to eat it. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
Well, then leave it. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
Yeah... | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |

Would you like another beer? | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
No, thanks. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
Incredible. We have to go see your mum. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
How is he? | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
He's fine. Did you get a job? | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
Only two kinds of job on the island, hotel or bank. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
Give rich people their lunch, or give rich people their money. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
Which? | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
Lunch. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
How was your lobster? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |
Rubbery. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
It was kind of you. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 | |
Forget it. I'd rather be with Aldous than be on my own. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
I enjoy his company. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:32 | |
You saved my bacon. If I can return the favour. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
Don't worry. I'll think of something. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Bye, Aldous. Nice day. Let's do it again. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
Don't you have a car? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
I left it in Cambridge. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Good night. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
Hey! Hey! We know each other? Who are you? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
-If you know me, you don't need to ask. -I know you, don't I? | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
No, I don't think so. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
-You're bluffing, aren't you? -I live nearby. Is that it? | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
I'd bet a lot of money you and I have met. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
I'm sorry. I wish I could help. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |

'There are some people I'd like you to meet.' | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
-Are you still there? -'I'm still here. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
'If you don't, you'll spend the evening worrying, "What did I miss?"' | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
I don't worry. I never worry. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
I'm at the Shelter, you must know it. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |

Morning. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
TV: '..closing price of 233...' | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
You're looking cheerful. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:16 | |
I just had a good workout. You should try it. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
-I don't think the Prime Minister wants to play squash with me. -He would if he met you. -No. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
My game's not good enough. Do you ever win? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
Almost never. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
He'll play with anyone as long as they give him a good game | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
and he can beat them. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
That's Alec. What are you up to? | 0:06:31 | 0:06:32 | |
Nothing special. Fishing for clients. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
You? | 0:06:35 | 0:06:36 | |
Oh. Planning the future. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:39 | |
-Anything urgent? -Nothing. -OK. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
Tom, great you could make it. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:02 | |
Why wouldn't I? | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
Only problem with paradise, nothing to do! | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
You must find it boring after such an eventful life. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
How do you know about my life? | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
Please, don't insult my intelligence. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
Keep cool, keep calm, don't say too much, OK? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:25 | |
And now, introductions. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
No. You go first. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
Gary, Frank, Dido, this is Tom Eliot. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:40 | |
-He's English. -British. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
Well, we can spend the next hour debating the difference. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
In my book you're English. Englishman! | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:07:48 | 0:07:49 | |
So now perhaps you'll tell me, what's your name? | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
-Who is this guy? -Are you serious? | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
He comes for a drink, he doesn't know who you are? | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
I'm Curtis Pelissier. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:00 | |
Of course you are. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
I'm the host. Gary, remember, I can ask who I want. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
# I fall in love too easily | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
# I fall in love too fast... # | 0:08:14 | 0:08:19 | |
At the end of the day, go private, because you want to know something? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:25 | |
It works out cheaper. Across the Atlantic, say. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
By the time you buy tickets for your kids and the nanny and the wife... | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
Oh, Christ, just pay the 50 and travel in comfort. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
You don't have to listen to other people. That's worth 50,000! | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
Dido, you're crazy. You've lost all sense of what's going on. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
Oh, have I? I don't notice you piling into Jet Blue. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
You know, people have this contempt for money | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
because nowadays nobody's allowed to say what everyone knows | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
that money is the best way of keeping score... | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
Dido, you're full of shit. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
I'm not full of shit. I'm telling you... | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
I don't think we've met. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:58 | |
No, you're right. Hello. | 0:08:58 | 0:08:59 | |
-Welcome. -Thank you. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
-How do you know Curtis? -Erm... | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
I don't. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:05 | |
Then why did he invite you? | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
Interesting, I've been asking that myself. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
I take it you're a friend of his? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
I'm a friend of everyone here. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
So, who are they exactly? | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
Entrepreneurs. They run a company called Gladstone. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
You must have heard of it. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
Gladstone? Have I? What do you do? | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
Are you asking me? | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
Er...yeah, I just asked. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
-I'm a financial PR. -Meaning? | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
Well, if you haven't heard of Gladstone, then that's my fault. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
Once upon a time, back in the old days, it would take | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
a whole lifetime to destroy the reputation of | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
a politician or a banker - | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
but now, as we know, someone just hits send | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
and it can happen overnight. And usually does. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
So it's my job to keep the company's good name. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
Does Gladstone have a good name? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
Good enough. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
Tom Eliot. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:00 | |
Melanie Fall. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:01 | |
It's a classier idea. It's about exclusivity. It's about grabbing the moment. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
So, Tom, what do you think? | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
I'm sorry, I wasn't listening... | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
Clearly. Frank was saying... | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
I was just saying, we're in business, you know, | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
so we want to make something that's popular. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
But we also want it to be exclusive. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:18 | |
That's a paradox, that's a challenge. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
-It's what Stirling always says... -Stirling? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
-Stirling Rogers. -Rogers is a friend of yours? | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
-He's an associate. -Stirling says, by definition, | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
exclusivity means for the few. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
So if we just catered for the few, we don't make any money. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
Example. This is a nice hotel. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
But you build 200 of them, all of a sudden | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
people say it's not so nice any more. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
So, how do you solve this dilemma? | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
How do you solve it, Tom? | 0:10:44 | 0:10:45 | |
I'm not the man to ask. I'm retired. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
What business were you in, Mr Eliot? | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
I was a civil servant. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
-Where? -In London. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:53 | |
Which ministry? | 0:10:53 | 0:10:54 | |
Agriculture and Fisheries. I know a lot about cod. Salmon quotas. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
That sort of thing. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
Answer me this - how can you afford to live here? | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
The answer is, I can't. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
They probably gave him one of those socialised pensions. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
Lives off it for life. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:12 | |
-It's modest, actually. -The rest of us poor bastards, we worked every minute on the clock, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
-turns out we were in the wrong game. -Dido, calm down. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
Big mistake, should have lived off other people | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
like a socialistic, left-wing dick. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
This guy can live on the islands, | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
because he has got gold-plated security. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
While we were out there, we were taking risks. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
Tell you what happens to people who take risks, | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
they get screwed by people who never took a fucking risk in their lives. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
That's the way it is. There are a few people who lead. Who innovate. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
And then there's the rest. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:53 | |
There's no need to apologise, really. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
Dido is a difficult man going through a difficult time. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
What sort of time? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:00 | |
The recession. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:03 | |
Oh, the recession, I see. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
No recession and he would have been pleasanter, would he? | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
I'd say, throw in Asperger's, and it's a dangerous mix. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
Be-definitely. Are you going to stay for dinner? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
Funny, I think I might skip it, if that's OK. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
I was thinking you and I could meet up tomorrow? | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
Maybe in a less pressured environment? | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
You mean less pressured than this? | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
I enjoyed meeting you, Tom. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:29 | |
Yes. So did I. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
I'd like to see you again. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:34 | |

Did you hear the news? I can't believe it. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
We'd spent the whole evening telling Dido how offensive he was being. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
'Does that mean you went to dinner?' | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |

Good afternoon. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
I'm Jim Carroll. This is Little Harry. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
Harry. Tom Eliot. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
We're both policemen. This morning a man was murdered. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
He was hit on the head and thrown in the sea. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
Was it definitely murder? I saw what happened. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
I don't mean... | 0:16:44 | 0:16:45 | |
OK. Dig yourself out. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
I don't mean I saw the murder but I did see the body being pulled up onto the beach. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
-And you recognised the victim? -I met him last night. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
For the first time? | 0:16:53 | 0:16:54 | |
How did you meet him? | 0:16:56 | 0:16:57 | |
I was asked for a drink by Curtis Pelissier. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
-Is he a friend of yours? -As a matter of fact, not. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
Then how does he know you? | 0:17:02 | 0:17:03 | |
As I say, I don't think he did. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
Then why would you go? Why would you go for a drink? | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
I'm going to throw this back at you, Jim. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
Believe it or not, it's unusual to be approached by someone who claims | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
they know you when they don't. That's why I went. I was intrigued. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
If I'd known one of the party was going to be killed, | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
-I wouldn't have gone. -I dare say neither would he. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
And people say you and Dido got into some kind of violent dispute. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
Violent? No. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
What then? | 0:17:26 | 0:17:27 | |
By simply existing I seemed to offend his politics. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
You work in public service? | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
You're right. You're well informed. Even so, | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
I've never heard of anyone killing anyone else because they were a civil servant. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
Are you going to mind if I take a look inside? | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
Be my guest. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:42 | |
You've been here a month or two? | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
You had some work done? | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
It's a small island, Mr Eliot. You can't build a steel security unit without everyone knowing. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
I wouldn't call it a security unit. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
Wouldn't you? What would you call it? | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
Oh, it's just my personal stuff. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
OK... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:04 | |
I'm going to show it to you, and then you can put your mind at rest. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
First time in my life I've ever seen clothes locked away. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
Some people keep their money in claret, I keep mine in shirts. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
Of course, all of mine have a little crocodile sewn on. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
Makes me wonder what you'd build if you had something really valuable. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
I'm going to say goodbye to you. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
I wonder, before you go, could I ask you a question? | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
What was Dido Parsons doing on the island? | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
Gladstone International's based here, remember? For tax purposes. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
That was his only reason? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:41 | |
In a few days, there's going to be this international colloquium. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
This place will be crawling with rich and powerful people. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
The world's leading business people and politicians. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
What, four days in the sun and they conclude that global recovery depends on them making more money? | 0:18:51 | 0:18:56 | |
They're rich men, they can waste their time any way they want. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
I think Dido came here early | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
because he and his friends are planning a new hotel. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
As if what belongers need are more hotels. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
What do you need, Mr Carroll? | 0:19:06 | 0:19:07 | |
I'll tell you what. Belongers need regular jobs for regular people. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
Isn't that what a hotel would bring? | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
So far, all it's brought is a bunch of doubtful-looking | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
men from New Jersey and a body on the beach. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
Here she is now... | 0:19:26 | 0:19:27 | |
Well, we didn't know if you were going to make it. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
Why wouldn't I make it? | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
We thought you might have taken to your bed. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
And you gentlemen, how are you coping? | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
Managing to contain yourselves, I see. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
-Have you seen the police? -Not yet. Have you? | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
-They took away our passports. -I'd like a large Scotch. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
-Certainly. -Frank and I were wondering - who's the new one? | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
The one called Eliot. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
We've already got Pelissier to deal with, | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
now there's an Englishman as well. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:55 | |
I like the Englishman. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
Can I ask you something else? | 0:19:59 | 0:20:00 | |
Go ahead. Ask whatever you like. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
Where'd you go last night? After you left us? | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
Melanie, in about half an hour I'm going to have to call Mrs Parsons | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
and tell her what happened. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:13 | |
If there's anything you can add, I need to know. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
Well? | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
Well, what? What do you want me to say? | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
If you can find the right Mrs Parsons, Gary, | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
then good luck to you. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:30 | |
Because I have met at least five women who have had that honour. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
There was one that was running a dry-cleaning business in LA. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
And wasn't there one that was temping in pest control? | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
If you can remember which one is which, | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
then you have a better memory than I do. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:44 | |
So, please, don't tear at my heart-strings about | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
some woman who just won a game of musical chairs. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
Because, frankly, I don't think Dido cared any more than I do. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
Or you. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
Ah, good. Is that my Scotch? | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
Excuse me. I'm looking to have a word with the manager. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
I am he. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:13 | |
Then I want to ask if it's still possible to buy a pavilion. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
I think there may be one or two left. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
How are they priced? | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
They're priced at 15. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:22 | |
15 million? | 0:21:22 | 0:21:23 | |
That's in American dollars. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
Of course it is. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:26 | |
Plus running costs. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:29 | |
You own it, we rent it out for you in the weeks you're not using it. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
-I'll get the key. -Thank you. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
Am I mistaken or did I see you here having a drink the other night? | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
You're very observant. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:57 | |
With Mr Parsons. Large bathroom. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
Shower. Jacuzzi. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
Dido was telling me about a rival hotel he was planning. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
-Have you heard about it? -Only rumours. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:07 | |
-Does it bother you? -For a start, we own a large chunk of the island. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
We have the best beaches on Turks and Caicos. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
-Who are "we"? -I'm talking about our investors. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
Ah, yes. My friend wanted me to ask who those investors were. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
Well, it's a very good question. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:21 | |
You don't know who owns the hotel? | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
I know who owned it yesterday, but I don't know who owns it today. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
-How come? -Because that's the way of things now. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
Mr Eliot, I used to be able to open the bonnet, take out a wrench | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
and fix my car. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
Now I'd need a degree in electronics. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
Even easy things are difficult now. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
Perhaps you'll stay for a Bellini on the house? | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
I have to get going, the police are going to release | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
Mr Parsons' room. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:50 | |
Do you have someone staying there tonight? | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
It may sound heartless, but that's the hotel business. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
I'm only as good as my occupancy rate. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
In the door and out? | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
You're going to get me sacked. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
I won't get you sacked, I'll get you promoted. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
Follow me at a distance, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
like you don't know me, but you'd like to. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
This guy Pelissier gives nothing away. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
I've been cleaning his room three days, you wouldn't know he was here. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:43 | |
Huh. Girlfriend? Celibate? | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
Celibate, sure. If celibate's a kind of fish. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
If I were a detective, I'd say the way there's nothing suspicious | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
is very suspicious. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
You should leave. I don't want you caught. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
"Curtis Pelissier" indeed! | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
MOBILE PHONE RINGS | 0:24:30 | 0:24:31 | |
Yes. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
'Good morning, it's your old friend Rollo.' | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
Rollo, I don't believe it. You got my messages. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
'I couldn't miss them. I can smell panic at 3,000 miles.' | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
It's not panic, it's opportunity. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
OK, it looks like I have been identified by an American colleague. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
That's not an opportunity. That's a disaster. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
'It could be a disaster, yes, but I'm planning to play him along.' | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
To do that you would need to be cleverer than he is. Do you think that's possible? | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
-We're going to find out, aren't we? -Can't you just make a run for it? | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
'If I were you, I'd run for it. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:00 | |
In a few days, there's this thing called the Island Colloquium, | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
run by a man called Stirling Rogers. You must have heard of him. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
Everyone's heard of him. Private equity. Buying up most of England. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
Not just England. Turns out he's a business associate of the men we're interested in. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:13 | |
-The men from New Jersey? -'Yes.' | 0:25:13 | 0:25:14 | |
'What do you want me to do?' | 0:25:14 | 0:25:15 | |
Margot. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:16 | |
'I'm sorry?' | 0:25:18 | 0:25:19 | |
Margot works for Rogers. After she left Millbank. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
Shit smart, too clever to be a spy. That's where she went. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
Johnny, is this a good idea? | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
Rollo... Shouldn't I decide that? | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
Look, if you stay where you are, the CIA are going to be bringing you home...in a cage. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:36 | |
That's a chance I'm going to have to take. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
I need you to find Margot. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
I want everything she can tell us about Stirling Rogers. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
TANNOY: 'The next station is London Bridge. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
'Change for the Northern Line and National Rail services.' | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
Well, I thought it was you. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
I was worried you might remember me. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
Of course I remember you. And I spotted you way back. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
I spotted you at Aldgate East. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:31 | |
You did not... When I got on? | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
Yeah. You did that backward thing. Did no-one ever teach you? | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
It's much more effective to tail someone by going ahead. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
Margot, I taught the fucking course! | 0:26:39 | 0:26:40 | |
-Always go in front! -I know, I just never believed it. It's counter-intuitive. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:44 | |
Well, now you're paying the price. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
You don't look good. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
That's because I've been clubbing till an hour ago. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
It's almost nine o'clock. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
Yeah. Unfortunately there's a new bylaw. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
Men under 25 not permitted to fuck older men | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
until six o'clock in the morning. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
What do you do, take a book? | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
A book and a pillow, yeah. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
So, how is Johnny? | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
It's a long story. As it happens, we're both discredited and we're both disgraced. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:18 | |
What do you do now? | 0:27:18 | 0:27:19 | |
I work for the Financial Times. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:20 | |
But anyway, the point is this - Johnny asked me to get in touch. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
By the way, he said to say sorry for how long it's been. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
-Four years. -Really? | 0:27:27 | 0:27:28 | |
Four years, three months and four days. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
You're not counting? | 0:27:31 | 0:27:32 | |
-And if it's so important, why didn't he come himself? -He couldn't come. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
Couldn't? Why not? | 0:27:37 | 0:27:38 | |
Because he had to leave the country. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
Had to? | 0:27:41 | 0:27:42 | |
I'm surprised. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
Johnny was a good man. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:49 | |
And much the cleverest in the building. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
He's still a good man. It's the building that's changed. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
Rollo, I really have left that world. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
-I don't want anything to do with it. -I quite understand. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
I work for Stirling Rogers. But you probably knew that already. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
-That's what Johnny needed to talk to you about. -Go on. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
Everyone reckons Stirling Rogers is completely legitimate. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
He certainly is. He plays squash with the Prime Minister. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
-People question his methods. -Sure. -He has a reputation. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
He's tough. He has to be. He's private equity. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:21 | |
He buys a failing business, he makes it work. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
The chariot goes at a certain speed. Peasants fall under the wheels. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
-That happens. -I'm sure it does. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:30 | |
Johnny thought you might be able to give him the inside track. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
-On what? -On his links. On his links to some people who might not smell as savoury as he does. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:38 | |
You're shocked. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:41 | |
I'm not shocked, I'm just unwilling. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:43 | |
I'm not in the business of betraying my boss. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:46 | |
It's the international side that interests us. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:48 | |
In particular? | 0:28:48 | 0:28:50 | |
The American side. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:51 | |
I saw a flicker in there. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:56 | |
No. You saw no flicker. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:58 | |
Margot, I cannot tell you how serious this is. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
It may be a life-saving thing. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:02 | |
Saving Johnny's life, you mean? What happens to mine? | 0:29:02 | 0:29:05 | |
Remember, I have a good job. Security. Incredible salary. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:09 | |
Family? | 0:29:09 | 0:29:11 | |
Normally, when a man asks you to risk everything, | 0:29:20 | 0:29:24 | |
he does it in person. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:26 | |
Did he ever give you the talk about trust? | 0:29:34 | 0:29:36 | |
What talk's that? | 0:29:36 | 0:29:38 | |
Oh, Johnny used to always say that life was about trust. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
Trust isn't always rewarded, but on the other hand, | 0:29:41 | 0:29:46 | |
if you make decisions based on trust, | 0:29:46 | 0:29:50 | |
then they'll have a sort of rightness to them. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:53 | |
Does that mean you're in? | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
MUZAK PLAYS IN LIFT | 0:29:59 | 0:30:01 | |
-Morning. -Good morning. -Morning. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:19 | |
Morning. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:20 | |
You all right? | 0:30:24 | 0:30:26 | |
Yes, I'm fine. Good morning. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:27 | |
Anything you need to talk to me about? | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
Nothing urgent. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:33 | |
-Well, there is something I wanted to ask. -Ask. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
What exactly is happening with the Bridge? | 0:30:39 | 0:30:41 | |
So perhaps you'll tell me what you're doing here. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:04 | |
You went into my room, I thought I'd go into yours. | 0:31:04 | 0:31:07 | |
Next stop, the Credit Bank of Panama. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:09 | |
-I don't know what you're talking about. -Don't you? | 0:31:09 | 0:31:12 | |
If your things are no longer in that safe, | 0:31:12 | 0:31:15 | |
the only place they can be is the bank. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:17 | |
-Unless you got that little boy to bury them in the sand. -What little boy is that? | 0:31:17 | 0:31:21 | |
Didn't I see you the other day - you were eating lobster. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
-What's that line of Eliot's? Remind me. -I don't know. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
"I should have been a pair of ragged claws, | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
"scuttling across the floors of silent seas..." | 0:31:31 | 0:31:33 | |
Sounds to me more like a crab, not like a lobster. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
So that's why you took Eliot's name. Because you like his poetry? | 0:31:36 | 0:31:39 | |
-I didn't take the name, I was given it. -Were you? | 0:31:39 | 0:31:42 | |
My parents never read a line of poetry in their lives. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:45 | |
-What were their names? -Oh. Jean Eliot. Clifford. Why? | 0:31:45 | 0:31:50 | |
Do you need a glass of water? | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
Look, this is Turks and Caicos, nobody's who they claim to be. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
It's a home for dirty money, which, as TS Eliot would observe, is | 0:31:55 | 0:31:58 | |
a tautology, because there isn't any other kind these days. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:02 | |
I think you're fishing, Pelissier. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
-Curtis. -I'm a retired civil servant and that's it. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:09 | |
If you were a retired civil servant, you wouldn't come for a drink. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:12 | |
-I haven't agreed to come for a drink tonight. -No. But you will. Be-definitely. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:16 | |
It's an interesting place, isn't it? | 0:32:23 | 0:32:26 | |
It certainly is. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:27 | |
Nowadays, people will go anywhere to avoid paying tax. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:31 | |
A quick visit to Liechtenstein, Monaco, maybe Jersey, | 0:32:31 | 0:32:35 | |
empty the vaults of private wealth | 0:32:35 | 0:32:38 | |
and you could write off the world's debt in a day. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:40 | |
In an hour. In a minute. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:42 | |
Three quarters of the world's cash is hidden away in places | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
-exactly like this. -Turks and Caicos? | 0:32:46 | 0:32:48 | |
21 trillion dollars. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:50 | |
It exists - an entire alternative economy, | 0:32:50 | 0:32:54 | |
and the only entry qualification, the services of a good tax lawyer. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:58 | |
Whatever happened to the idea of shame? | 0:33:01 | 0:33:04 | |
"Shame"? Went the way of honour, didn't it? | 0:33:04 | 0:33:08 | |
So, what do you think about the murder? | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
I'm sorry? | 0:33:16 | 0:33:17 | |
What was it? A mugging? That's what his friends are saying. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
I'm afraid I assumed he was knocked off by an acquaintance. Maybe someone we had a drink with. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:24 | |
-Is that what you think? -But then you know those people better than me. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:27 | |
Correction. I've spent five painful days trying to get to know them. | 0:33:27 | 0:33:30 | |
In fact, I was just getting close to Dido | 0:33:30 | 0:33:32 | |
when somebody whacked him on the head. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
Here we are. What was your mother's name again? | 0:33:35 | 0:33:40 | |
My mother's name? Jean. My father's, Clifford. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:43 | |
That's right. Yes. I remember now. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:45 | |
-You're doing that thing. -What thing is that? | 0:33:56 | 0:33:59 | |
That thing of pretending to drink. I've had three, you've had none. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:03 | |
I'm counting. Is that because you think of this meeting as work? | 0:34:03 | 0:34:07 | |
OK. Is this the moment? | 0:34:08 | 0:34:10 | |
You go first. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:14 | |
I think you're CIA. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:15 | |
CIA? | 0:34:15 | 0:34:16 | |
In one. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:17 | |
What makes you think that? | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
Because you don't exist on the internet. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:20 | |
And because you had my phone number in 30 seconds. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:23 | |
Not hard to get on this island. I could pay your maid. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:25 | |
-I don't have a maid. -Just like you got my maid to help search my room. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:29 | |
OK, I'm going to ask you a favour. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:35 | |
Whatever else you do, please don't involve any maid. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:38 | |
What is this? Old-fashioned gallantry? What's her name? | 0:34:38 | 0:34:41 | |
Natalie? And now for the first time I see a human being. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:45 | |
You're vulnerable, aren't you, Tom? | 0:34:45 | 0:34:47 | |
You don't like to see women get hurt. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
I don't like to see anyone get hurt. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:51 | |
Do you know the story of St Augustine and the seashell? | 0:34:51 | 0:34:54 | |
Do you know, I don't. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:55 | |
I keep thinking of it. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:57 | |
St Augustine saw a child on the beach trying to empty the sea with | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
a shell. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:01 | |
If you want to know what my work feels like at the moment, | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
then that sums things up. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:05 | |
Tell me more. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:07 | |
The people you had a drink with are first-class crooks. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:13 | |
In fact, they're more than crooks. They're contractors. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:16 | |
But you know that, don't you? | 0:35:16 | 0:35:17 | |
Do I? Somebody told me they were here to build a hotel. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:20 | |
They build hotels. Yes. When they're not doing other things. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:24 | |
I came down here to take a good look at them. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:26 | |
I couldn't believe my luck when I saw you sitting on the beach | 0:35:26 | 0:35:29 | |
because it wasn't the first time I'd seen you. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:32 | |
-Really? -Yes. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:34 | |
I don't remember. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:35 | |
I saw you, you didn't see me. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:37 | |
-Where? -I was behind glass. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:39 | |
Langley? | 0:35:42 | 0:35:43 | |
Even more interesting, | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
I got sent an alert just a couple of months ago. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:50 | |
-We all did. -What sort of alert? | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
When you left England. Congratulations. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:55 | |
You're Public Enemy Number One. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:56 | |
Your Prime Minister hates you with a passion. | 0:35:56 | 0:35:59 | |
Something to do with a file? | 0:35:59 | 0:36:00 | |
A file you stole! | 0:36:04 | 0:36:05 | |
I mean, Johnny, I don't want to blow smoke up your ass but in | 0:36:06 | 0:36:10 | |
my opinion you're the only man who comes well out of the war on terror. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:16 | |
# Oh, please... # | 0:36:23 | 0:36:24 | |
Two more, please. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:25 | |

# Pretending that I'm doing well... # | 0:36:30 | 0:36:34 | |
Why, yes, it's been a fascinating few years, you could say, | 0:36:35 | 0:36:39 | |
since 9/11. Do you know how many Americans now work in intelligence? | 0:36:39 | 0:36:43 | |
I don't know. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:44 | |
Over 200,000. In 16 different agencies. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:48 | |
With 30,000 private contractors in 170 countries at a grand | 0:36:48 | 0:36:53 | |
cost to the taxpayer of 75 billion a year. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:57 | |
And they still call it the intelligence community. | 0:36:57 | 0:37:00 | |
I don't think so. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:02 | |
A new president came in, and he made a promise. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:05 | |
-No more torture. -Close Guantanamo. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:08 | |
Right. Only guess what? It didn't happen. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
So. Here I am, passing the time pretending to be a businessman. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:15 | |
Is this with company approval? | 0:37:15 | 0:37:17 | |
Remember? | 0:37:17 | 0:37:18 | |
Only a few years back, America was rich. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:23 | |
We could go to war. We could fight all the wars we wanted, and nobody counted the cost. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:27 | |
You got ripped off? | 0:37:27 | 0:37:28 | |
Royally. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:30 | |
Now it's dusk in America and people are sore. | 0:37:30 | 0:37:33 | |
It's time for us to get our money back. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:37 | |
And I'm guessing that prospect might interest you too. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:40 | |
All right, I'm going to propose a deal. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:46 | |
Whatever it is, it's not going to be good enough. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:48 | |
-How do you know? -Johnny, you're dealing from an empty deck. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:52 | |
Tall, thin Englishman with good manners in a good suit. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
Not many of those. You're going to be spotted wherever you go. | 0:37:55 | 0:38:00 | |
And let's face it, | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
there's nothing in the world so blown as a blown spy. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:06 | |
OK, I'm going to help you pull in these crooks. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:11 | |
That's what I was hoping. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:12 | |
And in return you're going to let me go. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:15 | |
Why would I do that? I'm a patriotic American. | 0:38:15 | 0:38:17 | |
You're not going to call London, you're not going to call Langley. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:20 | |
We're going to do the job and you're going to give me 24 hours to get away. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:23 | |
You do well out of it, I do better. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:26 | |
Is that a deal? | 0:38:26 | 0:38:27 | |
There is something's wrong with Melanie Fall. She's damaged. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:40 | |
I want you to find out why. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:43 | |

ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYS | 0:39:01 | 0:39:02 | |
-Madam, if I may? -Thank you. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:31 | |
We don't do this often enough. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:37 | |
Not for want of trying. On my part, at least. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:40 | |
Are you going to have wine? | 0:39:42 | 0:39:44 | |
I certainly am. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:46 | |
Give me a moment, I'm going to choose something serious. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:48 | |
I, er...felt it was time we addressed fundamentals. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:56 | |
-Fundamentals are good. -I suppose I've been trying to understand the pattern. | 0:39:56 | 0:40:00 | |
-Pattern? -Of what businesses we buy. And why we buy them. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:04 | |
You know this stuff. Any business which presents a market opportunity. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:07 | |
Yes, but in practice, it's not quite as simple as that, is it? | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
There's got to be some ethical dimension. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:11 | |
I wouldn't buy a brothel because I thought the whores could do more tricks to the hour. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:15 | |
-Exactly, this is what I'm interested in. -I'm old-fashioned. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:18 | |
I like to think that if I do well, maybe achieve a certain | 0:40:18 | 0:40:21 | |
style of life, then I can raise the level around me. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:25 | |
-As I go up, so do others. -It's a great idea. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
This morning, you asked about the Bridge. Well, this is what the Bridge is about. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:31 | |
-We're putting something aside. -Yeah. But to what end? Specifically? How's it going to work? | 0:40:31 | 0:40:36 | |
Tell me, is this what you want to know? | 0:40:37 | 0:40:39 | |
Sorry, I'm not sure I've ever quite known what drew you | 0:40:41 | 0:40:44 | |
to us in the first place. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:45 | |
Haven't you? | 0:40:45 | 0:40:46 | |
You never actually told me why you left Millbank. | 0:40:46 | 0:40:49 | |
We had you checked out, of course we did, if not by the best | 0:40:49 | 0:40:52 | |
background checkers in England, certainly the most expensive. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:55 | |
What did they say? | 0:40:55 | 0:40:57 | |
A personal issue. A man. | 0:40:57 | 0:41:00 | |
Well, then your money was well spent. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:05 | |
Did they give you his name? | 0:41:07 | 0:41:08 | |
If so, I chose to forget it. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:10 | |
You do brilliant work for us, Margot, | 0:41:14 | 0:41:16 | |
but remember your job is analysis. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:19 | |
On every project you're first in and you're first out. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:22 | |
-You stay back at HQ. -I'm not there for the rougher stuff, is that what you're saying? | 0:41:22 | 0:41:25 | |
We believe that efficiency generates prosperity. We lean companies. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:29 | |
We cut the fat. That's what we do. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:31 | |
But we both know that comes at a human cost. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:34 | |
Sackings. Families out on the pavement. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:37 | |
That's why the Bridge is important to me. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:39 | |
I like to believe there's a contribution to the social | 0:41:39 | 0:41:42 | |
fabric at the end of all this. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:44 | |
Stirling, why only you? | 0:41:44 | 0:41:46 | |
You're trying to make some moral sense of what we're doing. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:50 | |
Don't you think the rest of us think about these things? | 0:41:50 | 0:41:52 | |
Of course you do. I know that. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:54 | |
Look... | 0:41:54 | 0:41:55 | |
There are only so many paper cup companies I can turn around. | 0:41:55 | 0:42:00 | |
If the Bridge is doing something to make a difference... | 0:42:01 | 0:42:05 | |
..I'd like to be part of it. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:07 | |
Silly, isn't it? You work with people, you like them - | 0:42:17 | 0:42:20 | |
and you so easily forget they're as complicated as you are. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:22 | |
Yes, you do. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:26 | |
-I'll take you through the Bridge tomorrow. -Thank you. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:31 | |
-Dinner? -Yes, please. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:34 | |
Oh, one more question. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:39 | |
The man at M15, you're over him, are you? | 0:42:39 | 0:42:44 | |
Oh, yes. Long over. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:47 | |
There you are, I was thinking you might be overworked. | 0:42:54 | 0:42:58 | |
I am overworked. I've been reading company reports. | 0:42:58 | 0:43:02 | |
I was wondering perhaps | 0:43:02 | 0:43:03 | |
if you'd like to take a trip round the island. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:05 | |
This place is rather beyond my pay grade. Do you have a car? | 0:43:05 | 0:43:09 | |
I have access to a car. | 0:43:09 | 0:43:10 | |
Do you want to have a swim before we go? | 0:43:12 | 0:43:14 | |
I don't have any trunks. | 0:43:16 | 0:43:19 | |
Shame. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:20 | |
-If you really want to know, Frank was a friend of my father's. So was Gary. -I see. | 0:43:42 | 0:43:46 | |
They only half need me on this trip, they more brought me | 0:43:48 | 0:43:51 | |
here as a reward. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:53 | |
A reward for what? | 0:43:53 | 0:43:54 | |
For being a good girl. | 0:43:54 | 0:43:55 | |
-A glass of beer? -I'd like that. -Two, please. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:01 | |
What happened on the night that Dido was killed? | 0:44:02 | 0:44:05 | |
Why do you ask? | 0:44:07 | 0:44:08 | |
You rang me, remember, you wanted to talk about it. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:10 | |
So I did. | 0:44:10 | 0:44:11 | |
But first, tell me why did you come to Turks and Caicos? | 0:44:12 | 0:44:16 | |
Shitty little tax-dodge islands. | 0:44:16 | 0:44:18 | |
I went to an airport in London and took the first flight. | 0:44:18 | 0:44:20 | |
Believe it or not, I'd never even heard of them. | 0:44:20 | 0:44:22 | |
Frank's convinced you're from Inland Revenue. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:25 | |
I wonder what makes him think that. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:29 | |
Oh, and about what happened that night? Well, let me tell you... | 0:44:29 | 0:44:33 | |
Dido was in an obnoxious state. | 0:44:33 | 0:44:34 | |
I remember. | 0:44:34 | 0:44:35 | |
It got even more so as the evening went on. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:39 | |
One thing I've noticed about rich people is they're angry most of the time. | 0:44:39 | 0:44:43 | |
Maybe they're frightened someone's going to come and take their money away. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:46 | |
Dido was an unusual man. I'd known him my whole life. | 0:44:46 | 0:44:50 | |
We were sitting there saying "It's a beautiful night, | 0:44:50 | 0:44:53 | |
"you've got a drink in your hand, you've just bought a hotel, how's life going to get better?" | 0:44:53 | 0:44:57 | |
-He bought the hotel? -Yeah... Sure. They all had. | 0:44:57 | 0:44:59 | |
-The one you're staying at? -Dido just kept complaining then sort of staggered off into the distance. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:04 | |
Who with? Who did he go with? | 0:45:04 | 0:45:06 | |
Let's talk about something else, shall we? | 0:45:09 | 0:45:11 | |
You have to eat. You have to eat something. | 0:45:24 | 0:45:27 | |
Do I? Why? | 0:45:29 | 0:45:31 | |
Look, these men, they're family friends, | 0:45:38 | 0:45:42 | |
if that's what you're asking. | 0:45:42 | 0:45:44 | |
I grew up in New Jersey, people coming round, doing deals, | 0:45:45 | 0:45:49 | |
family business, shaking hands, then disappearing. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:54 | |
There's always a hunt for advantage. | 0:45:54 | 0:45:56 | |
I was always alone. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:00 | |
I was an only child, with only one parent... | 0:46:00 | 0:46:03 | |
..in a big, gloomy house on a hill. | 0:46:05 | 0:46:07 | |
Just me and my dad rattling around. | 0:46:08 | 0:46:11 | |
-Is your father still alive? -No, he's dead. | 0:46:11 | 0:46:14 | |
So I got used to being on my own. | 0:46:20 | 0:46:22 | |
I was pretty... | 0:46:25 | 0:46:26 | |
..and my father's friends liked to be with me. | 0:46:27 | 0:46:30 | |
Dad liked it too. | 0:46:35 | 0:46:37 | |
You understand what I'm saying? | 0:46:41 | 0:46:43 | |
Have you talked to anyone about this? | 0:46:48 | 0:46:50 | |
I'm talking to you. | 0:46:55 | 0:46:56 | |
Have you ever known anyone who didn't hurt you? | 0:47:01 | 0:47:03 | |
I need to go to the bathroom. | 0:47:14 | 0:47:16 | |
Too much beer. | 0:47:18 | 0:47:20 | |
PHONE BUZZES | 0:47:28 | 0:47:30 | |
I've upset you, I'm sorry. | 0:47:47 | 0:47:49 | |
No, it's not your fault. There's something wrong with me. | 0:47:53 | 0:47:58 | |
There's nothing wrong with you. | 0:47:59 | 0:48:01 | |
Trust me, there is... There is something deeply wrong me. | 0:48:03 | 0:48:08 | |
I know more about it than you. I've lived with it longer. | 0:48:10 | 0:48:14 | |
I won't tell anyone, I promise. | 0:48:17 | 0:48:21 | |
Thank you. | 0:48:24 | 0:48:26 | |
Shall we go for a walk? | 0:48:33 | 0:48:34 | |
You don't think I'm fooled, do you? | 0:48:38 | 0:48:41 | |
I'm sorry? | 0:48:41 | 0:48:43 | |
You and Pelissier. | 0:48:43 | 0:48:44 | |
Oh. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:46 | |
You don't fool me for a minute. | 0:48:46 | 0:48:47 | |
Is everyone in British intelligence as charming as you? | 0:48:49 | 0:48:52 | |
I assume you're working with Curtis. | 0:48:55 | 0:48:58 | |
Well? | 0:49:00 | 0:49:01 | |
It's not quite as simple as that. | 0:49:01 | 0:49:03 | |
It never is. | 0:49:03 | 0:49:05 | |
But he has asked me to help him, yes. | 0:49:05 | 0:49:07 | |
Help him get something he can't get for himself? | 0:49:10 | 0:49:12 | |
Well, I've made a decision, Tom. | 0:49:18 | 0:49:20 | |
I don't want to spend the rest of my life in witness protection. | 0:49:22 | 0:49:25 | |
I promise you it won't come to that. | 0:49:25 | 0:49:27 | |
And are all your promises made so easily? | 0:49:29 | 0:49:32 | |
Yeah, well... I have an idea. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:39 | |
I have an idea how we might all get out of this thing alive. | 0:49:39 | 0:49:42 | |
But there's a problem. | 0:49:42 | 0:49:45 | |
What's the problem? | 0:49:45 | 0:49:46 | |
You're going to have to trust me. | 0:49:47 | 0:49:49 | |
You're good at this. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:01 | |
It's a simple game. | 0:50:01 | 0:50:02 | |
You just got to be fast and accurate. | 0:50:02 | 0:50:05 | |
And have a talent for display. | 0:50:07 | 0:50:10 | |
If you play like that, you're going to get arrested. | 0:50:10 | 0:50:12 | |
Whose going to arrest ME? | 0:50:12 | 0:50:14 | |
And I'll see you and raise five... | 0:50:24 | 0:50:26 | |
Thank you, Tom. I enjoyed my day. You're a nice man. | 0:50:35 | 0:50:41 | |
We'll talk again tomorrow. | 0:50:41 | 0:50:43 | |
Can't we talk tonight? | 0:50:43 | 0:50:44 | |
You ought to be careful, because if you're not, | 0:50:47 | 0:50:52 | |
these people will kill you. | 0:50:52 | 0:50:53 | |
Six to you, Curtis. | 0:50:59 | 0:51:00 | |
-Hello, baby. -Hey. | 0:51:04 | 0:51:05 | |
-Hey, Melanie. -Nice day? | 0:51:05 | 0:51:07 | |
-I'll see you. -You have GOT to be kidding me! | 0:51:09 | 0:51:12 | |
I'm happy to show you this, but bear in mind, it's confidential. | 0:51:17 | 0:51:21 | |
The Bridge is a charitable foundation. | 0:51:21 | 0:51:23 | |
We will file but we haven't filed yet. We're not in that position. | 0:51:23 | 0:51:26 | |
I see. Any reason for that? | 0:51:26 | 0:51:28 | |
Money's always happiest when it migrates. | 0:51:29 | 0:51:33 | |
There it is - marching across the page. | 0:51:34 | 0:51:37 | |
There's nothing more beautiful, is there, than money going to work? | 0:51:37 | 0:51:41 | |
See this? Consulting. | 0:51:43 | 0:51:45 | |
-Consulting? -Exactly. We put it aside. | 0:51:45 | 0:51:48 | |
It's like a tithe. | 0:51:50 | 0:51:52 | |
Exactly. It's a tithe. On everything we do. | 0:51:52 | 0:51:54 | |
Business doesn't interest me, philosophy does. | 0:51:54 | 0:51:57 | |
That's why I have the colloquium. | 0:51:57 | 0:51:58 | |
It's for architects, not plumbers. | 0:51:58 | 0:52:01 | |
It's for people who want to re-design the system, | 0:52:01 | 0:52:03 | |
not just make it work. | 0:52:03 | 0:52:05 | |
You're one of those people? | 0:52:06 | 0:52:07 | |
Come to the colloquium. Why don't you? | 0:52:12 | 0:52:15 | |
We can hang out on the islands. | 0:52:15 | 0:52:17 | |
Islands? | 0:52:17 | 0:52:19 | |
Turks and Caicos. | 0:52:19 | 0:52:20 | |
Remind me? | 0:52:22 | 0:52:24 | |
An hour away from Miami by air, and a universe away in spirit. | 0:52:24 | 0:52:29 | |
Sir, the Prime Minister's waiting. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:31 | |
Don't worry. I'll put it away. | 0:52:37 | 0:52:39 | |
Stirling... | 0:52:51 | 0:52:54 | |
Alec, I'm sorry, I had no idea you were early. | 0:52:54 | 0:52:56 | |
No problem, I love being kept waiting by you. | 0:52:56 | 0:52:58 | |
So where are we going to go? | 0:52:58 | 0:53:00 | |
My shout, wherever you want. | 0:53:00 | 0:53:02 | |
Do you want Japanese? | 0:53:02 | 0:53:03 | |
No. There's a good steak house in Hoxton. | 0:53:03 | 0:53:05 | |
You go to all these official dinners, you never get a decent piece of meat... | 0:53:05 | 0:53:08 | |
-I'd forgotten about this. -About what? | 0:53:35 | 0:53:37 | |
What fun it is. | 0:53:37 | 0:53:39 | |
The first sheet is like a trap door. | 0:53:39 | 0:53:42 | |
It gets us into the catacomb, but it doesn't get us through. | 0:53:42 | 0:53:45 | |
10% on everything goes to the Bridge. | 0:53:45 | 0:53:48 | |
Rogers is charging for his services. Then... | 0:53:48 | 0:53:51 | |
-Then what? -I don't get it. "Future projects." | 0:53:51 | 0:53:56 | |
Can you go back? Can you get any more? | 0:53:59 | 0:54:01 | |
This is good, but it it's not good enough. | 0:54:01 | 0:54:05 | |
Did Johnny tell you what happened? | 0:54:11 | 0:54:13 | |
You remember, we were together for a long time. | 0:54:15 | 0:54:18 | |
And we thought we'd be together for the rest of our lives. | 0:54:18 | 0:54:21 | |
You could put up with the jazz? | 0:54:21 | 0:54:22 | |
I could put up with everything. Except being a spy. | 0:54:22 | 0:54:27 | |
I decided two spies wasn't a good idea. Together. Too many secrets. | 0:54:27 | 0:54:33 | |
Too many lies. | 0:54:33 | 0:54:34 | |
It was you who left? | 0:54:34 | 0:54:35 | |
Johnny's promised me. Whatever happens, he's going to protect you. | 0:54:43 | 0:54:48 | |
How exactly is he going to protect me? | 0:54:48 | 0:54:51 | |
I don't even know where he is. | 0:54:51 | 0:54:53 | |
Margot? | 0:54:53 | 0:54:54 | |
Yes? | 0:54:54 | 0:54:56 | |
He's on Turks and Caicos. | 0:54:56 | 0:54:58 | |
Well, I had a feeling he might be. | 0:54:59 | 0:55:01 | |
I have to congratulate you, Rollo. You've done well. | 0:55:08 | 0:55:11 | |
-'Have I?' -Of course. | 0:55:11 | 0:55:13 | |
'Not just dragged her back in, but ruined her life as well? Just when she thought she was rid of you.' | 0:55:13 | 0:55:17 | |
-She's going to thank you for that. -'Is she? Is she really?' | 0:55:17 | 0:55:20 | |
Yes. In the long run. What about the other thing? | 0:55:20 | 0:55:22 | |
Yes, there is a new boss at the CIA, a new broom, | 0:55:22 | 0:55:26 | |
and, yes, it's true, he wants to make a fresh start. Whatever that means. | 0:55:26 | 0:55:30 | |
And the man who calls himself Curtis Pelissier? | 0:55:30 | 0:55:32 | |
In your description, six foot two, 160 pounds, | 0:55:32 | 0:55:34 | |
-cultured, striking... -'That's the chap.' | 0:55:34 | 0:55:36 | |
We don't have a match. I'm sorry, | 0:55:36 | 0:55:38 | |
I know you don't want to hear this, but he could be anyone at all. | 0:55:38 | 0:55:41 | |
Ah, there you are. I've been looking for you. | 0:56:06 | 0:56:09 | |
I'm a man of regular habits, Mr Eliot. | 0:56:09 | 0:56:11 | |
I take coffee here every morning. Harry, another cup. | 0:56:11 | 0:56:14 | |
So, how may I help? | 0:56:16 | 0:56:19 | |
Oh. I've been wondering how the investigation was going. | 0:56:19 | 0:56:22 | |
Have you? What's your interest? | 0:56:22 | 0:56:24 | |
Well, if you remember, I was briefly a suspect, I believe. | 0:56:24 | 0:56:27 | |
It was done with an oar. | 0:56:27 | 0:56:28 | |
Really? | 0:56:28 | 0:56:29 | |
Yeah. Wham! Across the face. | 0:56:29 | 0:56:31 | |
Two people out in a boat, only one slugged the other with an oar. | 0:56:32 | 0:56:36 | |
Smashed the cheek. | 0:56:36 | 0:56:37 | |
Parsons fell in the water? | 0:56:37 | 0:56:38 | |
Are you some kind of professional investigator, Mr Eliot? | 0:56:38 | 0:56:42 | |
I'm a civil servant looking for somewhere pleasant to retire. | 0:56:42 | 0:56:45 | |
And what's Pelissier? The lost prince of the Romanovs? | 0:56:45 | 0:56:48 | |
If you want to know, I'd put my money on an angry woman. | 0:56:48 | 0:56:52 | |
-Yes? Why? -It's a crime of passion, isn't it? | 0:56:52 | 0:56:55 | |
-Passion? -Yes. | 0:56:55 | 0:56:57 | |
If it's a woman, have you have a suspect? | 0:56:57 | 0:56:59 | |
Better than that, we have her passport. | 0:56:59 | 0:57:01 | |
And in 24 hours we'll have her DNA. | 0:57:01 | 0:57:04 | |
You weren't thinking of telling her, were you? | 0:57:04 | 0:57:07 | |
Do you understand the constitution of these islands? | 0:57:10 | 0:57:13 | |
Did you know Turks and Caicos is a Crown Protectorate? | 0:57:13 | 0:57:16 | |
-I think I do, yes. -And the currency is American but the jurisdiction is British. | 0:57:16 | 0:57:20 | |
We trade in the dollar and kneel to the Crown. | 0:57:20 | 0:57:24 | |
Yeah. What you might call the worst of both worlds. | 0:57:24 | 0:57:27 | |
Down at my level, you keep coming across people who | 0:57:27 | 0:57:31 | |
think that murder is a minor crime. | 0:57:31 | 0:57:34 | |
-I've noticed that. -They don't seem concerned about it at all. | 0:57:34 | 0:57:38 | |
When the CIA wants something, the rest of us have to step out the way. | 0:57:38 | 0:57:41 | |
Consider yourself fortunate. I happen to like you. | 0:57:43 | 0:57:47 | |
Personally, I mean. | 0:57:48 | 0:57:50 | |
Why on earth do you like me? | 0:57:50 | 0:57:52 | |
Family reasons. I like the way you've treated my sister. | 0:57:52 | 0:57:55 | |
-Your sister? -And you've been good to my nephew. | 0:57:55 | 0:57:58 | |
Yeah. Aldous needs a man in his life. | 0:58:00 | 0:58:03 | |
He's a good boy. I like him. | 0:58:03 | 0:58:05 | |
I know you do. | 0:58:05 | 0:58:06 | |
It's a shame. I don't imagine you'll be sticking around. | 0:58:06 | 0:58:11 | |
-Hello, how are you? -Welcome back, Mr Rogers. -Nice to see you again. | 0:58:46 | 0:58:49 | |
-Great to see you too. -This is Margot Tyrell. -Welcome, Miss Tyrell. -Thank you. | 0:58:49 | 0:58:53 | |
-Please, help yourselves. -How's your business? | 0:58:53 | 0:58:57 | |
Business is great, we're comfortable. Thank you. | 0:58:57 | 0:59:00 | |
Thank you. | 0:59:08 | 0:59:09 | |
Like it? What do you think? | 0:59:14 | 0:59:18 | |
Wow! I just think wow, that's what I think. | 0:59:19 | 0:59:23 | |
PHONE BEEPS | 0:59:23 | 0:59:24 | |
Oh, by the way, shout if you need a room of your own. | 0:59:29 | 0:59:32 | |
Hey, stranger. What can I get you? | 0:59:44 | 0:59:47 | |
Can I pour you a drink? | 0:59:47 | 0:59:48 | |
It's a little early for me. | 0:59:48 | 0:59:50 | |
Do you know what I like best? | 0:59:50 | 0:59:52 | |
I like lying on the bed. I can see everyone else's lives. | 0:59:53 | 0:59:58 | |
It's so much more fun to watch other peoples', don't you think? | 0:59:59 | 1:00:03 | |
Anything's better than living your own. | 1:00:03 | 1:00:06 | |
Melanie, time's come, we're going to have to level. | 1:00:07 | 1:00:12 | |
Yeah, I had an idea we might. | 1:00:12 | 1:00:14 | |
I had a talk with Pelissier. | 1:00:14 | 1:00:16 | |
Did you? | 1:00:17 | 1:00:18 | |
He told me some of the things your friends do for a living. | 1:00:18 | 1:00:21 | |
-Had you already guessed? -I was in the general area. | 1:00:21 | 1:00:23 | |
I had them down as foot soldiers in the war on terror. | 1:00:23 | 1:00:26 | |
No, Tom, they're not foot soldiers. | 1:00:31 | 1:00:34 | |
They're quartermasters. | 1:00:38 | 1:00:39 | |
You wouldn't know the world was suffering, would you? | 1:00:45 | 1:00:47 | |
Look at these guys, how do you think they're doing so well? | 1:00:50 | 1:00:53 | |
You tell me. | 1:00:53 | 1:00:55 | |
Gary, Frank, Dido, they did a thousand things. | 1:00:55 | 1:00:59 | |
Some good, some bad. | 1:00:59 | 1:01:01 | |
According to what was needed at the time. | 1:01:01 | 1:01:04 | |
Then they saw an opening. | 1:01:04 | 1:01:06 | |
Not so much a coalition of the willing, | 1:01:06 | 1:01:08 | |
more of a coalition of the billing. | 1:01:08 | 1:01:11 | |
Frank and Gary build detention camps. | 1:01:12 | 1:01:14 | |
Yes. Among other things. | 1:01:14 | 1:01:18 | |
Give me a cigarette, would you? | 1:01:22 | 1:01:24 | |
LAUGHTER AND CONVERSATION | 1:01:26 | 1:01:28 | |
-WOMAN: -Senator, welcome. | 1:01:28 | 1:01:29 | |
Prisons, cages, fences, watchtowers. Electronics. Security systems. | 1:01:36 | 1:01:43 | |
The camps had to be built and nobody had to know it was happening. | 1:01:43 | 1:01:47 | |
Do you have any idea of the scale of the thing? | 1:01:47 | 1:01:50 | |
Yes. I think I do. | 1:01:50 | 1:01:52 | |
Think about it, camps sprouting up all over the world. | 1:01:52 | 1:01:55 | |
It was a growth business like no other. | 1:01:55 | 1:01:57 | |
And the best part, there isn't any rate. | 1:01:57 | 1:02:00 | |
How much do you charge for building a detention camp? | 1:02:00 | 1:02:04 | |
Not as much as you charge for keeping quiet about building | 1:02:04 | 1:02:06 | |
a detention camp. | 1:02:06 | 1:02:08 | |
The boys, they just took what they liked. | 1:02:09 | 1:02:11 | |
But now everyone's starting to ask questions. | 1:02:13 | 1:02:16 | |
So, everyone's rushing to get their money re-invested. | 1:02:16 | 1:02:19 | |
Re-invested how? | 1:02:19 | 1:02:20 | |
Look around. | 1:02:22 | 1:02:24 | |
This place? | 1:02:24 | 1:02:26 | |
Exactly. It's laundry. | 1:02:26 | 1:02:28 | |
It's good, isn't it? | 1:02:29 | 1:02:30 | |
You could say it's perfect. | 1:02:32 | 1:02:34 | |
Selling off those places, buying up these. | 1:02:34 | 1:02:37 | |
Prisons for the poor, prisons for the rich. | 1:02:37 | 1:02:40 | |
And that's how the world goes round. | 1:02:40 | 1:02:42 | |
Curtis is looking for proof, isn't he? Proof America's been swindled. | 1:02:44 | 1:02:48 | |
Yes. That's what he wants. | 1:02:48 | 1:02:50 | |
Yeah, well, tell him if he wants it, I've got it. | 1:02:50 | 1:02:52 | |
Or rather I know someone who does. | 1:02:52 | 1:02:54 | |
It has to be on paper. | 1:02:54 | 1:02:55 | |
-Oh, it's on paper. -Good. | 1:02:55 | 1:02:57 | |
Tell him the person he needs is flying in today. | 1:02:57 | 1:02:59 | |
Today? | 1:02:59 | 1:03:01 | |
I told you. I've been planning this thing a long time. | 1:03:04 | 1:03:07 | |
Will you close the blinds? I'm sleepy. | 1:03:18 | 1:03:21 | |
BEEP | 1:03:25 | 1:03:26 | |
WHIRRING | 1:03:26 | 1:03:27 | |
Melanie? | 1:03:37 | 1:03:39 | |
Yes? | 1:03:39 | 1:03:40 | |
There's an Englishman, isn't there? | 1:03:41 | 1:03:44 | |
An Englishman? Is that who you're after? | 1:03:44 | 1:03:48 | |
Not the Englishman. | 1:03:48 | 1:03:50 | |
The Englishman's friend. | 1:03:51 | 1:03:53 | |
How long are we going to sit here? | 1:04:03 | 1:04:05 | |
Until she arrives. | 1:04:07 | 1:04:09 | |
How are we going to know her? | 1:04:13 | 1:04:15 | |
Ah. | 1:04:17 | 1:04:18 | |
I'm glad to see you. | 1:04:18 | 1:04:20 | |
Have you had a good flight? | 1:04:20 | 1:04:22 | |
Couldn't have been better. | 1:04:22 | 1:04:23 | |
Melanie sends her best. | 1:04:23 | 1:04:24 | |
Well, I should hope so. | 1:04:24 | 1:04:26 | |
This is Curtis Pelissier. Curtis, meet Clare Clovis. | 1:04:26 | 1:04:30 | |
Clare's an accountant. | 1:04:30 | 1:04:31 | |
Is that all you've got? | 1:04:31 | 1:04:33 | |
What else should I have? I'm not planning on staying long. | 1:04:33 | 1:04:35 | |
Curtis is the man you'll actually be dealing with. | 1:04:37 | 1:04:40 | |
He's the money? | 1:04:40 | 1:04:41 | |
You're right. | 1:04:41 | 1:04:42 | |
Then who are you? | 1:04:42 | 1:04:43 | |
Oh, you know. Home help. | 1:04:43 | 1:04:45 | |
How many copies are we going to need? | 1:04:47 | 1:04:49 | |
I think we all need our own, don't we? | 1:04:49 | 1:04:51 | |
Does that mean three? | 1:04:51 | 1:04:52 | |
I think it does. Oh, and one for safekeeping. | 1:04:52 | 1:04:54 | |
Where's safe on this island? | 1:04:54 | 1:04:56 | |
Good. We put the figures in here, and now they're safe. | 1:05:03 | 1:05:07 | |
Are you going to lock? | 1:05:09 | 1:05:11 | |
When do I get my three? | 1:05:11 | 1:05:13 | |
You get three million each, you and Melanie, | 1:05:13 | 1:05:16 | |
just as soon as the deal goes through. | 1:05:16 | 1:05:18 | |
Then why do I need to stay for the meeting? | 1:05:19 | 1:05:20 | |
Because they need to see you. | 1:05:20 | 1:05:22 | |
They need to know what I've done? | 1:05:22 | 1:05:24 | |
They'll know that already. | 1:05:24 | 1:05:25 | |
But they'll need to know you're not going to change your mind. | 1:05:25 | 1:05:28 | |
Do you trust this man? | 1:05:29 | 1:05:31 | |
I'll tell you in 24 hours. | 1:05:34 | 1:05:36 | |
Hello. I'm picking up accreditation, my name is Tom Eliot. | 1:05:41 | 1:05:44 | |
I'm a guest of Mr Pelissier. | 1:05:44 | 1:05:46 | |
Of course, Mr Eliot, it's here. | 1:05:46 | 1:05:48 | |
Thank you. | 1:05:49 | 1:05:50 | |
Come this way, please. | 1:05:50 | 1:05:52 | |
Good grief, look at you. | 1:05:52 | 1:05:54 | |
You've never seen me at work. This is how I am. | 1:05:54 | 1:05:57 | |
It's an act. | 1:05:57 | 1:05:58 | |
It's very convincing. | 1:05:58 | 1:06:00 | |
Well, it should be. It took me my whole life to get it down. | 1:06:00 | 1:06:04 | |
Let's go outside and share a cigarette. | 1:06:04 | 1:06:06 | |
Sure. | 1:06:06 | 1:06:07 | |
-Do you have my tickets? You've got my money? -Yes, I do. | 1:06:09 | 1:06:11 | |
Did you take a look to see where I was going? | 1:06:14 | 1:06:17 | |
As a matter of fact, I did. | 1:06:17 | 1:06:20 | |
Is there even a shadow of a chance I might see you there? | 1:06:30 | 1:06:33 | |
I need to ask you a question. Did you kill Dido? | 1:06:36 | 1:06:40 | |
Either they did or you did and I don't want to believe it was you. | 1:06:41 | 1:06:45 | |
That would take some nerve, wouldn't it... | 1:06:50 | 1:06:52 | |
..to kill a man, | 1:06:54 | 1:06:55 | |
and then call you up the next morning and joke about it? | 1:06:55 | 1:06:58 | |
What sort of person does that? What sort of person? | 1:06:59 | 1:07:04 | |
We had a nice day, didn't we, Tom? | 1:07:07 | 1:07:09 | |
It was a nice day. Drinking beer by the beach... | 1:07:11 | 1:07:15 | |
..shooting pool. | 1:07:17 | 1:07:18 | |
It was a nice time. | 1:07:21 | 1:07:22 | |
We're not going to see each other again, are we? | 1:07:25 | 1:07:29 | |
After this thing blows. | 1:07:29 | 1:07:30 | |
I don't think so, no. | 1:07:32 | 1:07:34 | |
So, can I ask you a favour? | 1:07:39 | 1:07:40 | |
Of course. What is it? | 1:07:40 | 1:07:42 | |
Will you tell me your name? | 1:07:44 | 1:07:46 | |
It's Johnny Worricker. | 1:07:49 | 1:07:50 | |
Nice. | 1:07:54 | 1:07:55 | |
A warm welcome to this beautiful island. | 1:08:10 | 1:08:13 | |
As we all know, this could hardly be a more threatening moment. | 1:08:13 | 1:08:16 | |
We meet at a dangerous time | 1:08:16 | 1:08:18 | |
when a setback in the financial markets has been | 1:08:18 | 1:08:21 | |
misrepresented as a crisis in the engine room of capitalism itself. | 1:08:21 | 1:08:26 | |
We all remember how quickly the Berlin Wall came down. | 1:08:26 | 1:08:29 | |
It vanished, as if it had never been. | 1:08:29 | 1:08:31 | |
Well, our system is much more robust. | 1:08:31 | 1:08:33 | |
So, let's all gather round the bed, plug in the IV, | 1:08:33 | 1:08:36 | |
turn on the monitor, | 1:08:36 | 1:08:38 | |
and try to bring this ailing patient back to life. | 1:08:38 | 1:08:41 | |
Thank you. | 1:08:43 | 1:08:44 | |
Well, goodness me, isn't life full of surprises? | 1:08:48 | 1:08:51 | |
You probably don't remember me, my name is Margot Tyrell. | 1:08:51 | 1:08:54 | |
Miss Tyrell, haven't we met before? | 1:08:54 | 1:08:56 | |
Do you know, I believe we have? | 1:08:56 | 1:08:58 | |
I used to work in the security services. | 1:08:58 | 1:09:00 | |
Well, snap. How did you get here? | 1:09:00 | 1:09:02 | |
I flew. Private plane. | 1:09:02 | 1:09:04 | |
Did you? And how are you planning to get back exactly? | 1:09:04 | 1:09:08 | |
Good question. I work for Stirling Rogers. | 1:09:09 | 1:09:12 | |
He's a man I'd very much like to meet. | 1:09:12 | 1:09:14 | |
Well, I'm sure that can be arranged. | 1:09:14 | 1:09:16 | |
After all, isn't that what the colloquium is about? Making contacts? | 1:09:16 | 1:09:19 | |
Exchanging ideas? This is for you. | 1:09:19 | 1:09:21 | |
Why don't I call him over? | 1:09:21 | 1:09:22 | |
Why don't you do that? | 1:09:22 | 1:09:24 | |
-Stirling. -Yeah. -There's somebody here who wants to meet you. | 1:09:27 | 1:09:31 | |
We have an acquaintance in common. | 1:09:35 | 1:09:36 | |
-Say who. -Not to name-drop, but the Prime Minister's always taken | 1:09:36 | 1:09:40 | |
a personal interest in my well-being. | 1:09:40 | 1:09:42 | |
I'm sure he has. Alec's a very close friend of mine. | 1:09:42 | 1:09:46 | |
So I've heard. | 1:09:46 | 1:09:47 | |
Why don't you and I get together to catch up? | 1:09:47 | 1:09:49 | |
At cocktail hour. | 1:09:49 | 1:09:51 | |
I missed your name. | 1:09:51 | 1:09:52 | |
I didn't give it. | 1:09:52 | 1:09:54 | |
I'm afraid six o'clock, I can't. I'm busy. | 1:09:54 | 1:09:56 | |
Frank and Gary are coming. | 1:09:56 | 1:09:58 | |
-Frank? -Yes. And Gary. | 1:10:00 | 1:10:01 | |
I've also invited a friend from the American intelligence community. | 1:10:01 | 1:10:05 | |
Why don't I try and make myself free? | 1:10:08 | 1:10:10 | |
Yeah. Why don't you? | 1:10:10 | 1:10:12 | |
Mr Rogers. | 1:10:14 | 1:10:15 | |
I have a deposit box. Name of Eliot. | 1:10:19 | 1:10:23 | |
Please step through. | 1:10:23 | 1:10:24 | |
Good morning, Mr Eliot. | 1:10:29 | 1:10:30 | |
Hey, Tony, how are you doing? | 1:10:45 | 1:10:48 | |
-Beautiful. -Yeah. -So beautiful. | 1:10:49 | 1:10:52 | |
Sorry to drop in, | 1:10:54 | 1:10:55 | |
I was hoping you might be able to take care of some stuff for me. | 1:10:55 | 1:10:58 | |
-What is it? -All my earthly possessions. | 1:10:58 | 1:11:00 | |
OK. | 1:11:02 | 1:11:03 | |
Paintings mostly. Also some cash. | 1:11:08 | 1:11:11 | |
You're leaving me cash? | 1:11:11 | 1:11:12 | |
Just for now. | 1:11:12 | 1:11:14 | |
I'm hoping to be back by midnight but it's possible I may have to make a run for it. | 1:11:14 | 1:11:18 | |
If I do, the stuff is yours. | 1:11:18 | 1:11:20 | |
How am I going to know? | 1:11:20 | 1:11:22 | |
The clue is, I won't be here. | 1:11:23 | 1:11:25 | |
Also, I brought one of these. | 1:11:27 | 1:11:29 | |
It's for Aldous, now he's got the hang of them. Is he around? | 1:11:29 | 1:11:32 | |
He's at a friend's house. | 1:11:32 | 1:11:34 | |
Hand him the spiny thing and, erm... | 1:11:35 | 1:11:39 | |
..tell him from me he's a wonderful boy. | 1:11:41 | 1:11:44 | |
What, and give him a big head? | 1:11:45 | 1:11:47 | |
Risk it. | 1:11:47 | 1:11:48 | |
You in trouble? | 1:11:55 | 1:11:56 | |
You thought this was a nice little island, didn't you? | 1:11:58 | 1:12:01 | |
That was your fault. I thought they were all like you. | 1:12:02 | 1:12:05 | |
Get out of here. | 1:12:07 | 1:12:08 | |
Oh, and I meant to say, there's a woman. | 1:12:09 | 1:12:13 | |
She may arrive. | 1:12:13 | 1:12:14 | |
She's got your address. | 1:12:14 | 1:12:16 | |
Do you think you could possibly take her in? | 1:12:17 | 1:12:20 | |
Margot. Are you alone? | 1:12:46 | 1:12:49 | |
You look rested. Did you get some sleep? | 1:13:01 | 1:13:03 | |
-I did. -Are you ready? | 1:13:03 | 1:13:05 | |
More than ready. | 1:13:05 | 1:13:06 | |
Good evening. I trust you're both rested. | 1:13:08 | 1:13:11 | |
-BOTH: -We are. | 1:13:11 | 1:13:12 | |
I took a short sleep myself. | 1:13:12 | 1:13:14 | |
So, whatever happens, remember, stick to the script. | 1:13:14 | 1:13:19 | |
Well, gentlemen, I see sour expressions all round. | 1:13:26 | 1:13:32 | |
I knew it would be you. | 1:13:32 | 1:13:34 | |
It had to be me. | 1:13:34 | 1:13:35 | |
After all, I'm the only one who knows the facts. | 1:13:35 | 1:13:37 | |
Do you? Do you really? | 1:13:37 | 1:13:39 | |
Why don't we all sit down? Curtis Pelissier. | 1:13:39 | 1:13:42 | |
Stirling Rogers. | 1:13:42 | 1:13:44 | |
-Margot Tyrell. -Pleasure. | 1:13:44 | 1:13:45 | |
The boys don't want to tell you, but they're not very happy. | 1:13:50 | 1:13:53 | |
-You got that right. -Is that orange juice fresh? | 1:13:53 | 1:13:56 | |
-They took a beating at cards. -It's fresh. | 1:13:56 | 1:13:58 | |
I made 10,000 dollars the other night. | 1:13:58 | 1:14:00 | |
And now we're going to play for higher stakes. | 1:14:00 | 1:14:03 | |
Let's cut the crap, Pelissier. You're not as smart as you think you are. | 1:14:03 | 1:14:06 | |
You've had CIA written all over you from the day you arrived. | 1:14:06 | 1:14:10 | |
I don't know whether to be flattered. | 1:14:10 | 1:14:13 | |
And your sidekick is some kind of fairy English cop. | 1:14:13 | 1:14:16 | |
-Close. -You won't be so happy when we tell you the next piece of news. | 1:14:16 | 1:14:19 | |
-Go ahead. -You underestimated us. We spoken to your boss. We know him. | 1:14:19 | 1:14:23 | |
We know him extremely well. We've worked closely together in the past. | 1:14:23 | 1:14:27 | |
-Have you? -Yes. -I don't see it makes much difference. | 1:14:27 | 1:14:30 | |
Whatever happens, you're still going to have to pay. Be-definitely. | 1:14:30 | 1:14:34 | |
You know as well as we do the CIA is split down the middle. | 1:14:34 | 1:14:37 | |
Half the people that work there approve of this stuff, half don't. | 1:14:37 | 1:14:40 | |
You're going to have to tell me what this "stuff" is. | 1:14:40 | 1:14:42 | |
I'm guessing detention without trial. Torture. Rendition. | 1:14:42 | 1:14:45 | |
Gladstone builds the camps. | 1:14:45 | 1:14:47 | |
It's not our business what goes on in them. | 1:14:47 | 1:14:49 | |
No, but it is mine. | 1:14:49 | 1:14:52 | |
If I can just say a word. | 1:14:52 | 1:14:54 | |
Go ahead. | 1:14:54 | 1:14:55 | |
Curtis asked me to take a look at the figures. | 1:14:55 | 1:14:58 | |
What figures are those? | 1:14:58 | 1:14:59 | |
As provided by Ms Clovis here, who works as your accountant. | 1:14:59 | 1:15:02 | |
Or did, until yesterday. | 1:15:02 | 1:15:04 | |
We've made an arrangement. | 1:15:04 | 1:15:06 | |
These figures are being sent all over the world - newspapers, | 1:15:06 | 1:15:09 | |
television stations - in half an hour, unless you make your payment. | 1:15:09 | 1:15:13 | |
The practical details of how to effect | 1:15:13 | 1:15:16 | |
the payment are on the other sheet. | 1:15:16 | 1:15:17 | |
Go ahead. Publish. What do we care? | 1:15:17 | 1:15:20 | |
You think people are shocked by this kind of thing? | 1:15:21 | 1:15:23 | |
As a matter of fact, I do, yes. | 1:15:23 | 1:15:25 | |
It happens all the time. | 1:15:25 | 1:15:27 | |
High prices? Since when is that an indictable offence? | 1:15:27 | 1:15:29 | |
If overcharging were a crime, the whole world would be behind bars. | 1:15:29 | 1:15:32 | |
I've timed my computer, they'll go off automatically | 1:15:32 | 1:15:35 | |
unless I stop it. | 1:15:35 | 1:15:36 | |
I don't believe it. I don't believe a fucking word! | 1:15:38 | 1:15:42 | |
Whoa, whoa. Let's just keep it civilised? Please? | 1:15:42 | 1:15:46 | |
Gary, sit down. | 1:15:46 | 1:15:49 | |
After all, isn't that your interest? Civilisation and its values? | 1:15:53 | 1:15:58 | |
Isn't that what the colloquium's about? | 1:15:58 | 1:16:00 | |
I swear I'm going to deck this guy. | 1:16:00 | 1:16:02 | |
I wouldn't advise it. There's been one murder already. | 1:16:02 | 1:16:06 | |
And, what's more, we all know who did it. | 1:16:06 | 1:16:08 | |
Something to do with Dido's sense of ownership. | 1:16:10 | 1:16:13 | |
She hit him in the face with an oar. | 1:16:15 | 1:16:17 | |
Fair enough, I don't blame her after a lifetime of abuse. | 1:16:17 | 1:16:20 | |
We're all tired of old men who think they're entitled. | 1:16:20 | 1:16:24 | |
-How do you know? -Because she told me. | 1:16:24 | 1:16:26 | |
No. She wouldn't say that to anyone. | 1:16:28 | 1:16:31 | |
She said it to me. | 1:16:31 | 1:16:32 | |
That really is something you don't want to see played | 1:16:35 | 1:16:38 | |
out in public, isn't it? | 1:16:38 | 1:16:40 | |
Do you want the details in court? | 1:16:40 | 1:16:42 | |
I heard there was a name. | 1:16:48 | 1:16:50 | |
A sort of joke name. Only the joke isn't funny. | 1:16:52 | 1:16:56 | |
You called yourselves the syndicate. | 1:16:57 | 1:17:00 | |
-Melanie won't go to court. -You see, if you take a look at the figures... | 1:17:06 | 1:17:12 | |
We know the figures. | 1:17:12 | 1:17:15 | |
Gladstone provided a ton of wiring and metal cages worth 50 million bucks, | 1:17:15 | 1:17:19 | |
and charged 500 million. | 1:17:19 | 1:17:21 | |
Use the words "national security", you can get away with anything. | 1:17:21 | 1:17:24 | |
Times are changing. It's a recession. We want 200 back. | 1:17:24 | 1:17:29 | |
-That's fair. -How are we supposed to get our hands on 200 million? | 1:17:29 | 1:17:32 | |
It's in one of your accounts right now. I know which one. | 1:17:32 | 1:17:36 | |
I'm the accountant, remember? | 1:17:36 | 1:17:38 | |
You still get out with a good profit. And no criminal convictions. | 1:17:38 | 1:17:42 | |
-No. We're not buying. -You have to buy. | 1:17:42 | 1:17:45 | |
Melanie looks after herself. And as for the rest of it, we tough it out. | 1:17:45 | 1:17:48 | |
Your word against ours. | 1:17:48 | 1:17:50 | |
Truly, I wouldn't recommend it. | 1:17:50 | 1:17:52 | |
Going to war with the company is never a good idea. | 1:17:52 | 1:17:54 | |
We'll take our chances. | 1:17:54 | 1:17:56 | |
Oh, goodness, I'd almost forgotten, there is something else. | 1:18:03 | 1:18:07 | |
I forgot to tell you, Curtis, I do have another document. | 1:18:09 | 1:18:14 | |
From another source. | 1:18:14 | 1:18:15 | |
-Um, "escrow"? -I'm sorry? | 1:18:17 | 1:18:20 | |
Is that the word? An "escrow account"? | 1:18:20 | 1:18:23 | |
I mean, I had to take advice on what exactly that means. | 1:18:23 | 1:18:26 | |
Did he get this from you? | 1:18:29 | 1:18:30 | |
Margot, did he get this from you? | 1:18:32 | 1:18:33 | |
Doesn't it mean the money just sits there? | 1:18:36 | 1:18:38 | |
And nobody can touch it? | 1:18:38 | 1:18:39 | |
-That's what it means. -Until someone needs it? | 1:18:39 | 1:18:42 | |
And when, I wonder, is that going to be? | 1:18:42 | 1:18:45 | |
Please explain. | 1:18:45 | 1:18:46 | |
You see, Curtis, we live in a rapidly changing world. | 1:18:46 | 1:18:49 | |
Downing Street used to be the height of a man's ambition, | 1:18:49 | 1:18:53 | |
but now it seems to be only a stepping stone. | 1:18:53 | 1:18:57 | |
I don't think the Prime Minister has any urgent plans to stand down... | 1:18:57 | 1:19:01 | |
if that's who you're talking about. | 1:19:01 | 1:19:02 | |
Ah, but it's not me going to decide, is it? | 1:19:02 | 1:19:05 | |
Or you, Mr Rogers. | 1:19:05 | 1:19:06 | |
No, that's the one last decision that still lies with the British electorate. | 1:19:06 | 1:19:10 | |
If you're going to make allegations against Alec Beasley, | 1:19:10 | 1:19:13 | |
then I suggest you make them privately. | 1:19:13 | 1:19:15 | |
Why? Are you recording this? | 1:19:15 | 1:19:17 | |
No. Are you? | 1:19:17 | 1:19:18 | |
Last time I saw my recorder, swear to God, | 1:19:18 | 1:19:20 | |
it was sitting in an ice-box. Where's yours? | 1:19:20 | 1:19:23 | |
It's perfectly clear, | 1:19:23 | 1:19:25 | |
the so-called Bridge is partly a holding account. | 1:19:25 | 1:19:30 | |
So what? | 1:19:30 | 1:19:31 | |
In the name of Stirling Rogers. | 1:19:31 | 1:19:33 | |
But there's another partner, isn't there? | 1:19:34 | 1:19:37 | |
Call him a sleeping partner. | 1:19:38 | 1:19:40 | |
You'd better be careful. | 1:19:41 | 1:19:43 | |
Oh, I forgot. Alec Beasley isn't a politician. | 1:19:45 | 1:19:49 | |
He's a statesman. | 1:19:50 | 1:19:52 | |
Quite right. An altogether more profitable line of work. | 1:19:53 | 1:19:59 | |
After all, he's going to have to do something after he leaves office. | 1:19:59 | 1:20:04 | |
Is there any territorial dispute in the world he's not qualified | 1:20:04 | 1:20:08 | |
to settle for a large salary from the luxury of a suite | 1:20:08 | 1:20:11 | |
in a five-star hotel? | 1:20:11 | 1:20:12 | |
Lucky, isn't it, that he has a fund, waiting for his global good works? | 1:20:14 | 1:20:21 | |
I said no politicians. Why get politicians involved? | 1:20:23 | 1:20:29 | |
The profiteering from building the camps is going to finance | 1:20:31 | 1:20:35 | |
the Prime Minister's future career. | 1:20:35 | 1:20:37 | |
It's as simple as that. It's in black and white. | 1:20:37 | 1:20:42 | |
On the table in front of you. | 1:20:43 | 1:20:45 | |
It's him, isn't it? That's who it is. | 1:20:48 | 1:20:51 | |
The man you told me about. The man you loved. | 1:20:52 | 1:20:56 | |
Forgive me, Stirling. | 1:21:01 | 1:21:03 | |
You'll find me in our room. | 1:21:05 | 1:21:07 | |
We need to get out. We need to get out of this. | 1:21:11 | 1:21:15 | |
Strange, isn't it? | 1:21:20 | 1:21:23 | |
People want the world to change, but they don't think about providing the means to do it. | 1:21:23 | 1:21:28 | |
Money flows, that's what it does. Who cares where it comes from? | 1:21:28 | 1:21:31 | |
The question is where it goes. | 1:21:31 | 1:21:34 | |
That's why we have islands like this. They're...safety valves. | 1:21:36 | 1:21:40 | |
Yeah. Or sewage farms. | 1:21:40 | 1:21:44 | |
The rest of the world is struggling along, | 1:21:44 | 1:21:46 | |
and for some reason you guys think you can cut yourselves off. Who declared you immune? | 1:21:46 | 1:21:50 | |
200, did you say? | 1:21:53 | 1:21:54 | |
Yes. 200. | 1:21:54 | 1:21:56 | |
Let's be clear. The money is paid and we never hear of this business again. | 1:21:56 | 1:21:59 | |
Good decision. I was told you were decisive. | 1:21:59 | 1:22:02 | |
Do you own the police? | 1:22:02 | 1:22:04 | |
I wouldn't say we own them. They're British. | 1:22:04 | 1:22:07 | |
Well, then you own them. Can you fix them? | 1:22:07 | 1:22:10 | |
Can you fix them? | 1:22:10 | 1:22:11 | |
Then Melanie leaves the island tomorrow. No charges. | 1:22:13 | 1:22:16 | |
-Agreed. -And our passports? | 1:22:16 | 1:22:18 | |
-Thrown in. -Returned as soon as the money is paid? | 1:22:18 | 1:22:21 | |
In your hands. | 1:22:21 | 1:22:22 | |
Is it a deal? | 1:22:26 | 1:22:27 | |
Well done. Successful operation. The money's gone through. | 1:22:29 | 1:22:34 | |
Better still, your friend Melanie's killed one of them, | 1:22:34 | 1:22:38 | |
she can kill the other two as far as I'm concerned. | 1:22:38 | 1:22:41 | |
Clare, if you go to my room, I'll join you. | 1:22:41 | 1:22:44 | |
I'll give you cash. | 1:22:44 | 1:22:46 | |
Really? | 1:22:46 | 1:22:47 | |
Really. Trust me. | 1:22:47 | 1:22:49 | |
So I guess I have to thank you. | 1:22:54 | 1:22:57 | |
You pulled a trick in there. | 1:22:57 | 1:22:58 | |
You're as good as they say you are. | 1:22:58 | 1:23:00 | |
Am I good? | 1:23:06 | 1:23:07 | |
We got what we wanted. | 1:23:09 | 1:23:10 | |
Yes. You did. I won't. | 1:23:10 | 1:23:13 | |
It's a shame, really, Curtis, you're such a low-life, | 1:23:15 | 1:23:17 | |
given that you do have a certain lizard charm. | 1:23:17 | 1:23:20 | |
-I don't know what you're talking about. -Don't you? | 1:23:20 | 1:23:22 | |
-No. -Then what's that thug doing over there? | 1:23:22 | 1:23:24 | |
He was there when we went in. He's following us now. | 1:23:24 | 1:23:27 | |
Yeah, even a fairy cop knows when he's being sold out. | 1:23:27 | 1:23:30 | |
Look, old man, I'm sorry about this, really I am. | 1:23:34 | 1:23:38 | |
-I'm sure you are. -You can't imagine the pressure I've been under. | 1:23:38 | 1:23:41 | |
-Oh, I think I can. -I've never known anything like it. | 1:23:41 | 1:23:43 | |
I always knew you weren't a rogue. | 1:23:43 | 1:23:45 | |
You don't think like a rogue. You think like a company man. | 1:23:45 | 1:23:49 | |
London's desperate. They want you back. They're insisting. | 1:23:49 | 1:23:52 | |
They want you badly. | 1:23:52 | 1:23:53 | |
You made a promise. You promised me! | 1:23:53 | 1:23:57 | |
Johnny, you know how it works. | 1:23:57 | 1:23:58 | |
One day I'm going to need a favour from M15. | 1:23:58 | 1:24:02 | |
-I bet you will. -I'm going to need it. | 1:24:02 | 1:24:04 | |
Do you think I'll get my favour if I let you go? | 1:24:04 | 1:24:07 | |
Johnny, you know what happens to whistle-blowers. | 1:24:07 | 1:24:10 | |
They turn into lonely old men with bad breath... | 1:24:10 | 1:24:14 | |
..and computers. | 1:24:15 | 1:24:17 | |
I'm going to go. | 1:24:17 | 1:24:18 | |
-You don't have a chance at the airport. -I know that. | 1:24:18 | 1:24:20 | |
-They're waiting for you. -I'll meet you at Chico's. Buy me a whisky. | 1:24:20 | 1:24:24 | |
I'll be there in half an hour. And this time I'll drink. | 1:24:24 | 1:24:27 | |
But I have to say one goodbye. | 1:24:29 | 1:24:31 | |
He goes where you go. | 1:24:33 | 1:24:35 | |
Ah. | 1:24:37 | 1:24:38 | |
Fine. | 1:24:40 | 1:24:41 | |
DOOR SHUTS | 1:25:10 | 1:25:11 | |
I wanted to bring you some flowers. | 1:25:18 | 1:25:20 | |
Thank you. That's kind. | 1:25:20 | 1:25:23 | |
It's just things that grow by the seashore. | 1:25:23 | 1:25:26 | |
The island's interesting for its flora and fauna. | 1:25:28 | 1:25:31 | |
I'd like to see it. | 1:25:31 | 1:25:32 | |
Yes. I'd like that, too. | 1:25:32 | 1:25:35 | |
What did Rogers say? | 1:25:48 | 1:25:50 | |
Oh, he didn't say anything. I climbed out the bathroom window. | 1:25:50 | 1:25:54 | |
That was very...grown-up of you. | 1:25:56 | 1:25:59 | |
Yeah. Wasn't it? | 1:25:59 | 1:26:00 | |
It was clever of you to connect Rogers with Beasley. | 1:26:03 | 1:26:06 | |
It was clever of you, too. | 1:26:06 | 1:26:08 | |
How did you do that? | 1:26:10 | 1:26:11 | |
Oh, I had help. You? | 1:26:13 | 1:26:15 | |
Oh, I had help too. | 1:26:17 | 1:26:18 | |
I knew Stirling would leap to defend his friend Beasley. | 1:26:20 | 1:26:24 | |
-He seemed to trust you completely. -You're right. | 1:26:24 | 1:26:26 | |
What was the reason for that? | 1:26:26 | 1:26:28 | |
All right, you don't have to tell me. | 1:26:31 | 1:26:33 | |
Why? Would you rather not know? | 1:26:33 | 1:26:35 | |
That reassures me. I'm pleased. | 1:26:37 | 1:26:39 | |
After all, it means you can still be hurt. | 1:26:40 | 1:26:42 | |
Oh, I can be hurt. | 1:26:46 | 1:26:47 | |
Good evening, sir. You're on private property. | 1:26:52 | 1:26:56 | |
-You're going to have to show me your papers. -That's not a problem. | 1:26:56 | 1:26:59 | |
At the station. | 1:26:59 | 1:27:01 | |
I can't come to the station now. | 1:27:01 | 1:27:03 | |
I'm afraid you don't have a choice. | 1:27:03 | 1:27:05 | |
Listen, erm...one way or another, I've got bad news. | 1:27:23 | 1:27:29 | |
Well, you wouldn't be Johnny if you didn't. | 1:27:29 | 1:27:31 | |
I don't think we'll be able to stay on the island. | 1:27:31 | 1:27:35 | |
How long have we got? | 1:27:35 | 1:27:37 | |
Maybe...three minutes. | 1:27:37 | 1:27:40 | |
Because you're English, they don't actually kill you. | 1:27:41 | 1:27:44 | |
-But they do make your life unliveable. -Can I say something? | 1:27:44 | 1:27:46 | |
-Of course. -Just so we're clear? | 1:27:46 | 1:27:48 | |
Please. | 1:27:48 | 1:27:49 | |
I didn't give up everything because of you. | 1:27:49 | 1:27:52 | |
I know what this is about. | 1:27:54 | 1:27:56 | |
It's about British collusion in torture. Isn't it? | 1:27:56 | 1:27:59 | |
Partly. | 1:27:59 | 1:28:00 | |
And the corruption of intelligence. | 1:28:00 | 1:28:02 | |
It's about all the lies of the last ten years. | 1:28:02 | 1:28:05 | |
-It's about the lying. -Yes. | 1:28:05 | 1:28:07 | |
I am against torture. | 1:28:07 | 1:28:08 | |
So am I. | 1:28:08 | 1:28:09 | |
And I'm against it being covered up. | 1:28:09 | 1:28:12 | |
So anything I choose to do isn't just because of you. | 1:28:12 | 1:28:15 | |
It's also because it's time it was done. | 1:28:15 | 1:28:17 | |
We're going to have a go on the run... | 1:28:26 | 1:28:28 | |
Looks like it. | 1:28:28 | 1:28:29 | |
We both know what that means. | 1:28:29 | 1:28:31 | |
We do. | 1:28:31 | 1:28:32 | |
Hand-to-mouth is putting it mildly. | 1:28:32 | 1:28:35 | |
One day to the next, never being secure. | 1:28:35 | 1:28:38 | |
Margot, I've seen the price people pay. | 1:28:38 | 1:28:41 | |
We'll pay that price. | 1:28:43 | 1:28:44 | |
An awful lot of things went wrong, didn't they? Between us? | 1:28:48 | 1:28:51 | |
They certainly did. | 1:28:53 | 1:28:55 | |
This time it's going to be different, I promise. | 1:28:58 | 1:29:01 | |
I'm going to give you no reason to leave. None whatsoever. | 1:29:01 | 1:29:07 | |
I'll hold you to that. | 1:29:11 | 1:29:12 | |
Do we have too much luggage? | 1:29:21 | 1:29:23 | |
No. There's two of us now. | 1:29:24 | 1:29:27 | |
TANNOY: 'This is the final call for Jet Blue flight 856.' | 1:29:31 | 1:29:35 | |
That's us. | 1:29:35 | 1:29:36 | |
Well, what do you think? | 1:30:42 | 1:30:44 | |
Give him a few minutes. | 1:30:44 | 1:30:45 | |
-Are you sure? -Sure. He'll come. | 1:30:47 | 1:30:48 | |
Face it, it's an island, there's nowhere else he can go. | 1:30:48 | 1:30:53 | |
-Hey. -Hey, man. How was your lobster? | 1:30:56 | 1:30:59 | |
Oh. It wasn't for me. It was a gift. | 1:30:59 | 1:31:02 | |
Er, you haven't met. This is my friend Margot Tyrell. | 1:31:04 | 1:31:08 | |
Hello. | 1:31:09 | 1:31:10 | |
This is Jim Carroll. He's a policeman. | 1:31:11 | 1:31:14 | |
Show me your passports? | 1:31:14 | 1:31:15 | |
"Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State requests | 1:31:22 | 1:31:26 | |
"and requires in the Name of Her Majesty all those whom it may | 1:31:26 | 1:31:30 | |
"concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without hindrance, and | 1:31:30 | 1:31:35 | |
"to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary." | 1:31:35 | 1:31:40 | |
These are British islands. | 1:31:43 | 1:31:45 | |
And you're holding British passports. | 1:31:46 | 1:31:50 | |
You're free to go. | 1:31:50 | 1:31:51 | |
Thank you. Thank you. No, really. | 1:31:53 | 1:31:57 | |
Thank you very much. | 1:31:57 | 1:31:58 | |
Come back soon. | 1:32:00 | 1:32:01 | |
Goodbye. | 1:32:10 | 1:32:11 | |
Another? | 1:33:09 | 1:33:10 | |
Thank you. | 1:33:12 | 1:33:13 | |
Two more. | 1:33:13 | 1:33:14 | |
Well? | 1:33:21 | 1:33:22 | |
