OK. Here we are.

0:00:200:00:22

What a great evening. Thank you.

0:00:220:00:25

If you want, I could come in, pour you a drink.

0:00:260:00:29

Tell you the problem. I'm not thirsty.

0:00:300:00:34

But I had a great time. Thank you.

0:00:360:00:38

Good night.

DIALLING TONE

0:00:470:00:49

-'Yeah?'

-No luck.

0:00:490:00:50

'Why? What happened?'

0:00:500:00:51

I don't know why. I have to try something else.

0:00:510:00:54

What's this?

0:01:240:01:26

-It's lobster.

-I've never had it.

0:01:260:01:28

OK.

0:01:280:01:30

I don't think my mom wants me to eat it.

0:01:300:01:33

Well, then leave it.

0:01:330:01:34

Yeah...

0:01:520:01:54

Good, huh?

0:01:540:01:56

Brave man!

0:01:580:01:59

CHATTER AND LAUGHTER

0:01:590:02:00

WOMAN: Don't touch me!

0:02:160:02:18

No, I don't want to hear it. Stay away from me, leave me alone!

0:02:180:02:21

DISTANT CONVERSATION

0:02:240:02:25

Would you like another beer?

0:02:460:02:48

No, thanks.

0:02:480:02:50

Incredible. We have to go see your mum.

0:02:580:03:01

How is he?

0:03:100:03:11

He's fine. Did you get a job?

0:03:110:03:14

Only two kinds of job on the island, hotel or bank.

0:03:140:03:17

Give rich people their lunch, or give rich people their money.

0:03:170:03:20

Which?

0:03:200:03:22

Lunch.

0:03:220:03:23

How was your lobster?

0:03:250:03:26

Rubbery.

0:03:260:03:28

It was kind of you.

0:03:280:03:29

Forget it. I'd rather be with Aldous than be on my own.

0:03:290:03:31

I enjoy his company.

0:03:310:03:32

You saved my bacon. If I can return the favour.

0:03:320:03:35

Don't worry. I'll think of something.

0:03:390:03:41

Bye, Aldous. Nice day. Let's do it again.

0:03:410:03:44

Don't you have a car?

0:03:460:03:48

I left it in Cambridge.

0:03:480:03:50

Good night.

0:03:520:03:53

Hey! Hey! We know each other? Who are you?

0:04:080:04:11

-If you know me, you don't need to ask.

-I know you, don't I?

0:04:110:04:13

No, I don't think so.

0:04:130:04:15

-You're bluffing, aren't you?

-I live nearby. Is that it?

0:04:150:04:18

I'd bet a lot of money you and I have met.

0:04:180:04:20

I'm sorry. I wish I could help.

0:04:200:04:22

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

0:04:310:04:32

Yeah?

0:04:350:04:36

'I found your number.'

0:04:360:04:37

So that means you must know my name.

0:04:390:04:41

'Come and have a drink this evening.

0:04:410:04:42

'There are some people I'd like you to meet.'

0:04:420:04:45

-Are you still there?

-'I'm still here.

0:04:490:04:51

'If you don't, you'll spend the evening worrying, "What did I miss?"'

0:04:510:04:54

I don't worry. I never worry.

0:04:540:04:56

I'm at the Shelter, you must know it.

0:04:560:04:59

0:05:520:05:54

Well, that's it. I'm in trouble.

0:05:540:05:57

Bell me.

0:05:570:05:58

PHONE BEEPS

0:06:000:06:01

Morning.

0:06:080:06:10

TV: '..closing price of 233...'

0:06:100:06:13

You're looking cheerful.

0:06:150:06:16

I just had a good workout. You should try it.

0:06:160:06:18

-I don't think the Prime Minister wants to play squash with me.

-He would if he met you.

-No.

0:06:180:06:22

My game's not good enough. Do you ever win?

0:06:220:06:24

Almost never.

0:06:240:06:26

He'll play with anyone as long as they give him a good game

0:06:260:06:29

and he can beat them.

0:06:290:06:31

That's Alec. What are you up to?

0:06:310:06:32

Nothing special. Fishing for clients.

0:06:320:06:35

You?

0:06:350:06:36

Oh. Planning the future.

0:06:380:06:39

-Anything urgent?

-Nothing.

-OK.

0:06:430:06:47

Tom, great you could make it.

0:07:010:07:02

Why wouldn't I?

0:07:020:07:04

Only problem with paradise, nothing to do!

0:07:040:07:07

You must find it boring after such an eventful life.

0:07:100:07:13

How do you know about my life?

0:07:130:07:15

Please, don't insult my intelligence.

0:07:150:07:17

Keep cool, keep calm, don't say too much, OK?

0:07:170:07:25

And now, introductions.

0:07:310:07:33

No. You go first.

0:07:330:07:35

Gary, Frank, Dido, this is Tom Eliot.

0:07:350:07:40

-He's English.

-British.

0:07:400:07:42

Well, we can spend the next hour debating the difference.

0:07:420:07:45

In my book you're English. Englishman!

0:07:450:07:48

LAUGHTER

0:07:480:07:49

So now perhaps you'll tell me, what's your name?

0:07:520:07:54

-Who is this guy?

-Are you serious?

0:07:540:07:56

He comes for a drink, he doesn't know who you are?

0:07:560:07:59

I'm Curtis Pelissier.

0:07:590:08:00

Of course you are.

0:08:000:08:02

I'm the host. Gary, remember, I can ask who I want.

0:08:020:08:05

# I fall in love too easily

0:08:070:08:11

# I fall in love too fast... #

0:08:140:08:19

At the end of the day, go private, because you want to know something?

0:08:200:08:25

It works out cheaper. Across the Atlantic, say.

0:08:250:08:28

By the time you buy tickets for your kids and the nanny and the wife...

0:08:280:08:32

Oh, Christ, just pay the 50 and travel in comfort.

0:08:320:08:34

You don't have to listen to other people. That's worth 50,000!

0:08:340:08:37

Dido, you're crazy. You've lost all sense of what's going on.

0:08:370:08:40

Oh, have I? I don't notice you piling into Jet Blue.

0:08:400:08:45

You know, people have this contempt for money

0:08:450:08:47

because nowadays nobody's allowed to say what everyone knows

0:08:470:08:51

that money is the best way of keeping score...

0:08:510:08:53

Dido, you're full of shit.

0:08:530:08:55

I'm not full of shit. I'm telling you...

0:08:550:08:57

I don't think we've met.

0:08:570:08:58

No, you're right. Hello.

0:08:580:08:59

-Welcome.

-Thank you.

0:08:590:09:02

-How do you know Curtis?

-Erm...

0:09:020:09:04

I don't.

0:09:040:09:05

Then why did he invite you?

0:09:050:09:07

Interesting, I've been asking that myself.

0:09:070:09:09

I take it you're a friend of his?

0:09:090:09:11

I'm a friend of everyone here.

0:09:120:09:14

So, who are they exactly?

0:09:140:09:17

Entrepreneurs. They run a company called Gladstone.

0:09:170:09:20

You must have heard of it.

0:09:200:09:22

Gladstone? Have I? What do you do?

0:09:220:09:24

Are you asking me?

0:09:240:09:26

Er...yeah, I just asked.

0:09:260:09:30

-I'm a financial PR.

-Meaning?

0:09:300:09:32

Well, if you haven't heard of Gladstone, then that's my fault.

0:09:320:09:35

Once upon a time, back in the old days, it would take

0:09:370:09:40

a whole lifetime to destroy the reputation of

0:09:400:09:42

a politician or a banker -

0:09:420:09:45

but now, as we know, someone just hits send

0:09:450:09:48

and it can happen overnight. And usually does.

0:09:480:09:51

So it's my job to keep the company's good name.

0:09:510:09:54

Does Gladstone have a good name?

0:09:540:09:56

Good enough.

0:09:560:09:57

Tom Eliot.

0:09:590:10:00

Melanie Fall.

0:10:000:10:01

It's a classier idea. It's about exclusivity. It's about grabbing the moment.

0:10:010:10:04

So, Tom, what do you think?

0:10:040:10:08

I'm sorry, I wasn't listening...

0:10:080:10:10

Clearly. Frank was saying...

0:10:100:10:12

I was just saying, we're in business, you know,

0:10:120:10:15

so we want to make something that's popular.

0:10:150:10:17

But we also want it to be exclusive.

0:10:170:10:18

That's a paradox, that's a challenge.

0:10:180:10:21

-It's what Stirling always says...

-Stirling?

0:10:210:10:23

-Stirling Rogers.

-Rogers is a friend of yours?

0:10:230:10:25

-He's an associate.

-Stirling says, by definition,

0:10:250:10:27

exclusivity means for the few.

0:10:270:10:30

So if we just catered for the few, we don't make any money.

0:10:300:10:34

Example. This is a nice hotel.

0:10:340:10:37

But you build 200 of them, all of a sudden

0:10:370:10:40

people say it's not so nice any more.

0:10:400:10:42

So, how do you solve this dilemma?

0:10:420:10:44

How do you solve it, Tom?

0:10:440:10:45

I'm not the man to ask. I'm retired.

0:10:450:10:48

What business were you in, Mr Eliot?

0:10:480:10:50

I was a civil servant.

0:10:500:10:52

-Where?

-In London.

0:10:520:10:53

Which ministry?

0:10:530:10:54

Agriculture and Fisheries. I know a lot about cod. Salmon quotas.

0:10:540:10:58

That sort of thing.

0:10:580:11:00

Answer me this - how can you afford to live here?

0:11:000:11:02

The answer is, I can't.

0:11:020:11:06

They probably gave him one of those socialised pensions.

0:11:080:11:11

Lives off it for life.

0:11:110:11:12

-It's modest, actually.

-The rest of us poor bastards, we worked every minute on the clock,

0:11:120:11:16

-turns out we were in the wrong game.

-Dido, calm down.

0:11:160:11:19

Big mistake, should have lived off other people

0:11:190:11:21

like a socialistic, left-wing dick.

0:11:210:11:24

This guy can live on the islands,

0:11:260:11:28

because he has got gold-plated security.

0:11:280:11:30

While we were out there, we were taking risks.

0:11:300:11:33

Tell you what happens to people who take risks,

0:11:350:11:38

they get screwed by people who never took a fucking risk in their lives.

0:11:380:11:42

That's the way it is. There are a few people who lead. Who innovate.

0:11:430:11:47

And then there's the rest.

0:11:470:11:49

I'm sorry.

0:11:520:11:53

There's no need to apologise, really.

0:11:530:11:55

Dido is a difficult man going through a difficult time.

0:11:550:11:59

What sort of time?

0:11:590:12:00

The recession.

0:12:020:12:03

Oh, the recession, I see.

0:12:030:12:05

No recession and he would have been pleasanter, would he?

0:12:050:12:08

I'd say, throw in Asperger's, and it's a dangerous mix.

0:12:090:12:13

Be-definitely. Are you going to stay for dinner?

0:12:130:12:16

Funny, I think I might skip it, if that's OK.

0:12:160:12:18

I was thinking you and I could meet up tomorrow?

0:12:180:12:20

Maybe in a less pressured environment?

0:12:200:12:23

You mean less pressured than this?

0:12:230:12:25

I enjoyed meeting you, Tom.

0:12:280:12:29

Yes. So did I.

0:12:290:12:31

I'd like to see you again.

Did you hear the news? I can't believe it.

0:16:010:16:03

We'd spent the whole evening telling Dido how offensive he was being.

0:16:030:16:07

'Does that mean you went to dinner?'

0:16:070:16:09

I did. Then I got bored and left them arguing.

'Really? What were they arguing about?'

0:16:130:16:16

Where are you today?

0:16:170:16:19

-I'm at home.

-'Do you want to get together?'

Melanie, forgive me, I'd love to meet up but I have visitors.

0:16:220:16:26

This is nice.

0:16:270:16:29

Good afternoon.

0:16:290:16:31

I'm Jim Carroll. This is Little Harry.

0:16:310:16:33

Harry. Tom Eliot.

0:16:330:16:36

We're both policemen. This morning a man was murdered.

0:16:360:16:38

He was hit on the head and thrown in the sea.

0:16:380:16:40

Was it definitely murder? I saw what happened.

0:16:400:16:42

I don't mean...

0:16:440:16:45

OK. Dig yourself out.

0:16:450:16:47

I don't mean I saw the murder but I did see the body being pulled up onto the beach.

0:16:470:16:51

-And you recognised the victim?

-I met him last night.

0:16:510:16:53

For the first time?

0:16:530:16:54

How did you meet him?

0:16:560:16:57

I was asked for a drink by Curtis Pelissier.

0:16:570:16:59

-Is he a friend of yours?

-As a matter of fact, not.

0:16:590:17:02

Then how does he know you?

0:17:020:17:03

As I say, I don't think he did.

0:17:030:17:05

Then why would you go? Why would you go for a drink?

0:17:050:17:07

I'm going to throw this back at you, Jim.

0:17:070:17:09

Believe it or not, it's unusual to be approached by someone who claims

0:17:090:17:12

they know you when they don't. That's why I went. I was intrigued.

0:17:120:17:15

If I'd known one of the party was going to be killed,

0:17:150:17:17

-I wouldn't have gone.

-I dare say neither would he.

0:17:170:17:19

And people say you and Dido got into some kind of violent dispute.

0:17:210:17:24

Violent? No.

0:17:240:17:26

What then?

0:17:260:17:27

By simply existing I seemed to offend his politics.

0:17:270:17:30

You work in public service?

0:17:300:17:32

You're right. You're well informed. Even so,

0:17:320:17:35

I've never heard of anyone killing anyone else because they were a civil servant.

0:17:350:17:39

Are you going to mind if I take a look inside?

0:17:390:17:41

Be my guest.

0:17:410:17:42

You've been here a month or two?

0:17:460:17:48

You had some work done?

0:17:480:17:50

It's a small island, Mr Eliot. You can't build a steel security unit without everyone knowing.

0:17:500:17:54

I wouldn't call it a security unit.

0:17:540:17:56

Wouldn't you? What would you call it?

0:17:560:17:58

Oh, it's just my personal stuff.

0:17:580:18:01

OK...

0:18:030:18:04

I'm going to show it to you, and then you can put your mind at rest.

0:18:040:18:07

First time in my life I've ever seen clothes locked away.

0:18:110:18:14

Some people keep their money in claret, I keep mine in shirts.

0:18:140:18:17

Of course, all of mine have a little crocodile sewn on.

0:18:170:18:21

Makes me wonder what you'd build if you had something really valuable.

0:18:220:18:25

I'm going to say goodbye to you.

0:18:290:18:31

I wonder, before you go, could I ask you a question?

0:18:310:18:34

What was Dido Parsons doing on the island?

0:18:340:18:36

Gladstone International's based here, remember? For tax purposes.

0:18:360:18:40

That was his only reason?

0:18:400:18:41

In a few days, there's going to be this international colloquium.

0:18:410:18:44

This place will be crawling with rich and powerful people.

0:18:440:18:48

The world's leading business people and politicians.

0:18:480:18:51

What, four days in the sun and they conclude that global recovery depends on them making more money?

0:18:510:18:56

They're rich men, they can waste their time any way they want.

0:18:560:18:59

I think Dido came here early

0:18:590:19:01

because he and his friends are planning a new hotel.

0:19:010:19:03

As if what belongers need are more hotels.

0:19:030:19:06

What do you need, Mr Carroll?

0:19:060:19:07

I'll tell you what. Belongers need regular jobs for regular people.

0:19:070:19:11

Isn't that what a hotel would bring?

0:19:120:19:14

So far, all it's brought is a bunch of doubtful-looking

0:19:140:19:17

men from New Jersey and a body on the beach.

0:19:170:19:20

Here she is now...

0:19:260:19:27

Well, we didn't know if you were going to make it.

0:19:270:19:31

Why wouldn't I make it?

0:19:310:19:33

We thought you might have taken to your bed.

0:19:330:19:36

And you gentlemen, how are you coping?

0:19:360:19:39

Managing to contain yourselves, I see.

0:19:390:19:41

-Have you seen the police?

-Not yet. Have you?

0:19:410:19:44

-They took away our passports.

-I'd like a large Scotch.

0:19:440:19:46

-Certainly.

-Frank and I were wondering - who's the new one?

0:19:460:19:49

The one called Eliot.

0:19:500:19:52

We've already got Pelissier to deal with,

0:19:520:19:54

now there's an Englishman as well.

0:19:540:19:55

I like the Englishman.

0:19:550:19:57

Can I ask you something else?

0:19:590:20:00

Go ahead. Ask whatever you like.

0:20:000:20:03

Where'd you go last night? After you left us?

0:20:030:20:05

Melanie, in about half an hour I'm going to have to call Mrs Parsons

0:20:080:20:12

and tell her what happened.

0:20:120:20:13

If there's anything you can add, I need to know.

0:20:130:20:17

Well?

0:20:200:20:22

Well, what? What do you want me to say?

0:20:220:20:25

If you can find the right Mrs Parsons, Gary,

0:20:270:20:29

then good luck to you.

0:20:290:20:30

Because I have met at least five women who have had that honour.

0:20:300:20:34

There was one that was running a dry-cleaning business in LA.

0:20:340:20:37

And wasn't there one that was temping in pest control?

0:20:370:20:40

If you can remember which one is which,

0:20:400:20:43

then you have a better memory than I do.

0:20:430:20:44

So, please, don't tear at my heart-strings about

0:20:460:20:50

some woman who just won a game of musical chairs.

0:20:500:20:52

Because, frankly, I don't think Dido cared any more than I do.

0:20:520:20:56

Or you.

0:20:560:20:58

Ah, good. Is that my Scotch?

0:20:590:21:01

Excuse me. I'm looking to have a word with the manager.

0:21:090:21:12

I am he.

0:21:120:21:13

Then I want to ask if it's still possible to buy a pavilion.

0:21:130:21:17

I think there may be one or two left.

0:21:170:21:19

How are they priced?

0:21:190:21:21

They're priced at 15.

0:21:210:21:22

15 million?

0:21:220:21:23

That's in American dollars.

0:21:230:21:25

Of course it is.

0:21:250:21:26

Plus running costs.

0:21:280:21:29

You own it, we rent it out for you in the weeks you're not using it.

0:21:290:21:33

-I'll get the key.

-Thank you.

0:21:330:21:35

Am I mistaken or did I see you here having a drink the other night?

0:21:530:21:56

You're very observant.

0:21:560:21:57

With Mr Parsons. Large bathroom.

0:21:570:22:00

Shower. Jacuzzi.

0:22:000:22:03

Dido was telling me about a rival hotel he was planning.

0:22:030:22:06

-Have you heard about it?

-Only rumours.

0:22:060:22:07

-Does it bother you?

-For a start, we own a large chunk of the island.

0:22:070:22:11

We have the best beaches on Turks and Caicos.

0:22:110:22:13

-Who are "we"?

-I'm talking about our investors.

0:22:130:22:15

Ah, yes. My friend wanted me to ask who those investors were.

0:22:150:22:18

Well, it's a very good question.

0:22:200:22:21

You don't know who owns the hotel?

0:22:210:22:23

I know who owned it yesterday, but I don't know who owns it today.

0:22:230:22:27

-How come?

-Because that's the way of things now.

0:22:270:22:30

Mr Eliot, I used to be able to open the bonnet, take out a wrench

0:22:320:22:35

and fix my car.

0:22:350:22:37

Now I'd need a degree in electronics.

0:22:370:22:39

Even easy things are difficult now.

0:22:390:22:41

Perhaps you'll stay for a Bellini on the house?

0:22:440:22:47

I have to get going, the police are going to release

0:22:470:22:49

Mr Parsons' room.

0:22:490:22:50

Do you have someone staying there tonight?

0:22:500:22:53

It may sound heartless, but that's the hotel business.

0:22:530:22:55

I'm only as good as my occupancy rate.

0:22:550:22:58

In the door and out?

0:22:580:23:00

You're going to get me sacked.

0:23:100:23:12

I won't get you sacked, I'll get you promoted.

0:23:120:23:14

Follow me at a distance,

0:23:160:23:18

like you don't know me, but you'd like to.

0:23:180:23:20

This guy Pelissier gives nothing away.

0:23:370:23:39

I've been cleaning his room three days, you wouldn't know he was here.

0:23:390:23:43

Huh. Girlfriend? Celibate?

0:23:430:23:47

Celibate, sure. If celibate's a kind of fish.

0:23:470:23:49

If I were a detective, I'd say the way there's nothing suspicious

0:23:530:23:56

is very suspicious.

0:23:560:23:58

You should leave. I don't want you caught.

0:23:580:24:01

"Curtis Pelissier" indeed!

0:24:210:24:23

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

0:24:300:24:31

Yes.

0:24:310:24:33

'Good morning, it's your old friend Rollo.'

0:24:330:24:35

Rollo, I don't believe it. You got my messages.

0:24:350:24:38

'I couldn't miss them. I can smell panic at 3,000 miles.'

0:24:380:24:40

It's not panic, it's opportunity.

0:24:400:24:42

OK, it looks like I have been identified by an American colleague.

0:24:420:24:45

That's not an opportunity. That's a disaster.

0:24:450:24:48

'It could be a disaster, yes, but I'm planning to play him along.'

0:24:480:24:51

To do that you would need to be cleverer than he is. Do you think that's possible?

0:24:530:24:56

-We're going to find out, aren't we?

-Can't you just make a run for it?

0:24:560:24:59

'If I were you, I'd run for it.

0:24:590:25:00

In a few days, there's this thing called the Island Colloquium,

0:25:000:25:03

run by a man called Stirling Rogers. You must have heard of him.

0:25:030:25:06

Everyone's heard of him. Private equity. Buying up most of England.

0:25:060:25:09

Not just England. Turns out he's a business associate of the men we're interested in.

0:25:090:25:13

-The men from New Jersey?

-'Yes.'

0:25:130:25:14

'What do you want me to do?'

0:25:140:25:15

Margot.

0:25:150:25:16

'I'm sorry?'

0:25:180:25:19

Margot works for Rogers. After she left Millbank.

0:25:190:25:23

Shit smart, too clever to be a spy. That's where she went.

0:25:230:25:25

Johnny, is this a good idea?

0:25:270:25:29

Rollo... Shouldn't I decide that?

0:25:290:25:31

Look, if you stay where you are, the CIA are going to be bringing you home...in a cage.

0:25:310:25:36

That's a chance I'm going to have to take.

0:25:360:25:38

I need you to find Margot.

0:25:380:25:40

I want everything she can tell us about Stirling Rogers.

0:25:410:25:44

TANNOY: 'The next station is London Bridge.

0:25:590:26:02

'Change for the Northern Line and National Rail services.'

0:26:020:26:05

Well, I thought it was you.

0:26:230:26:25

I was worried you might remember me.

0:26:250:26:27

Of course I remember you. And I spotted you way back.

0:26:270:26:30

I spotted you at Aldgate East.

0:26:300:26:31

You did not... When I got on?

0:26:310:26:33

Yeah. You did that backward thing. Did no-one ever teach you?

0:26:330:26:36

It's much more effective to tail someone by going ahead.

0:26:360:26:39

Margot, I taught the fucking course!

0:26:390:26:40

-Always go in front!

-I know, I just never believed it. It's counter-intuitive.

0:26:400:26:44

Well, now you're paying the price.

0:26:440:26:46

You don't look good.

0:26:520:26:54

That's because I've been clubbing till an hour ago.

0:26:540:26:56

It's almost nine o'clock.

0:26:560:26:58

Yeah. Unfortunately there's a new bylaw.

0:26:580:27:00

Men under 25 not permitted to fuck older men

0:27:000:27:02

until six o'clock in the morning.

0:27:020:27:04

What do you do, take a book?

0:27:040:27:06

A book and a pillow, yeah.

0:27:060:27:08

So, how is Johnny?

0:27:120:27:14

It's a long story. As it happens, we're both discredited and we're both disgraced.

0:27:140:27:18

What do you do now?

0:27:180:27:19

I work for the Financial Times.

0:27:190:27:20

But anyway, the point is this - Johnny asked me to get in touch.

0:27:200:27:24

By the way, he said to say sorry for how long it's been.

0:27:240:27:27

-Four years.

-Really?

0:27:270:27:28

Four years, three months and four days.

0:27:280:27:31

You're not counting?

0:27:310:27:32

-And if it's so important, why didn't he come himself?

-He couldn't come.

0:27:340:27:37

Couldn't? Why not?

0:27:370:27:38

Because he had to leave the country.

0:27:380:27:41

Had to?

0:27:410:27:42

I'm surprised.

0:27:450:27:47

Johnny was a good man.

0:27:480:27:49

And much the cleverest in the building.

0:27:500:27:53

He's still a good man. It's the building that's changed.

0:27:530:27:55

Rollo, I really have left that world.

0:27:590:28:01

-I don't want anything to do with it.

-I quite understand.

0:28:010:28:04

I work for Stirling Rogers. But you probably knew that already.

0:28:040:28:07

-That's what Johnny needed to talk to you about.

-Go on.

0:28:070:28:10

Everyone reckons Stirling Rogers is completely legitimate.

0:28:100:28:13

He certainly is. He plays squash with the Prime Minister.

0:28:130:28:16

-People question his methods.

-Sure.

-He has a reputation.

0:28:160:28:19

He's tough. He has to be. He's private equity.

0:28:190:28:21

He buys a failing business, he makes it work.

0:28:220:28:25

The chariot goes at a certain speed. Peasants fall under the wheels.

0:28:250:28:28

-That happens.

-I'm sure it does.

0:28:280:28:30

Johnny thought you might be able to give him the inside track.

0:28:300:28:33

-On what?

-On his links. On his links to some people who might not smell as savoury as he does.

0:28:330:28:38

You're shocked.

0:28:400:28:41

I'm not shocked, I'm just unwilling.

0:28:410:28:43

I'm not in the business of betraying my boss.

0:28:430:28:46

It's the international side that interests us.

0:28:460:28:48

In particular?

0:28:480:28:50

The American side.

0:28:500:28:51

I saw a flicker in there.

0:28:540:28:56

No. You saw no flicker.

0:28:560:28:58

Margot, I cannot tell you how serious this is.

0:28:580:29:01

It may be a life-saving thing.

0:29:010:29:02

Saving Johnny's life, you mean? What happens to mine?

0:29:020:29:05

Remember, I have a good job. Security. Incredible salary.

0:29:050:29:09

Family?

0:29:090:29:11

Normally, when a man asks you to risk everything,

0:29:200:29:24

he does it in person.

0:29:240:29:26

Did he ever give you the talk about trust?

0:29:340:29:36

What talk's that?

0:29:360:29:38

Oh, Johnny used to always say that life was about trust.

0:29:380:29:41

Trust isn't always rewarded, but on the other hand,

0:29:410:29:46

if you make decisions based on trust,

0:29:460:29:50

then they'll have a sort of rightness to them.

0:29:500:29:53

Does that mean you're in?

0:29:570:29:59

MUZAK PLAYS IN LIFT

0:29:590:30:01

-Morning.

-Good morning.

-Morning.

0:30:170:30:19

Morning.

0:30:190:30:20

You all right?

0:30:240:30:26

Yes, I'm fine. Good morning.

0:30:260:30:27

Anything you need to talk to me about?

0:30:300:30:32

Nothing urgent.

0:30:320:30:33

-Well, there is something I wanted to ask.

-Ask.

0:30:350:30:38

What exactly is happening with the Bridge?

0:30:390:30:41

So perhaps you'll tell me what you're doing here.

0:31:020:31:04

You went into my room, I thought I'd go into yours.

0:31:040:31:07

Next stop, the Credit Bank of Panama.

0:31:070:31:09

-I don't know what you're talking about.

-Don't you?

0:31:090:31:12

If your things are no longer in that safe,

0:31:120:31:15

the only place they can be is the bank.

0:31:150:31:17

-Unless you got that little boy to bury them in the sand.

-What little boy is that?

0:31:170:31:21

Didn't I see you the other day - you were eating lobster.

0:31:210:31:24

-What's that line of Eliot's? Remind me.

-I don't know.

0:31:250:31:28

"I should have been a pair of ragged claws,

0:31:280:31:31

"scuttling across the floors of silent seas..."

0:31:310:31:33

Sounds to me more like a crab, not like a lobster.

0:31:330:31:36

So that's why you took Eliot's name. Because you like his poetry?

0:31:360:31:39

-I didn't take the name, I was given it.

-Were you?

0:31:390:31:42

My parents never read a line of poetry in their lives.

0:31:420:31:45

-What were their names?

-Oh. Jean Eliot. Clifford. Why?

0:31:450:31:50

Do you need a glass of water?

0:31:500:31:52

Look, this is Turks and Caicos, nobody's who they claim to be.

0:31:520:31:55

It's a home for dirty money, which, as TS Eliot would observe, is

0:31:550:31:58

a tautology, because there isn't any other kind these days.

0:31:580:32:02

I think you're fishing, Pelissier.

0:32:040:32:06

-Curtis.

-I'm a retired civil servant and that's it.

0:32:060:32:09

If you were a retired civil servant, you wouldn't come for a drink.

0:32:090:32:12

-I haven't agreed to come for a drink tonight.

-No. But you will. Be-definitely.

0:32:120:32:16

It's an interesting place, isn't it?

0:32:230:32:26

It certainly is.

0:32:260:32:27

Nowadays, people will go anywhere to avoid paying tax.

0:32:270:32:31

A quick visit to Liechtenstein, Monaco, maybe Jersey,

0:32:310:32:35

empty the vaults of private wealth

0:32:350:32:38

and you could write off the world's debt in a day.

0:32:380:32:40

In an hour. In a minute.

0:32:400:32:42

Three quarters of the world's cash is hidden away in places

0:32:430:32:46

-exactly like this.

-Turks and Caicos?

0:32:460:32:48

21 trillion dollars.

0:32:480:32:50

It exists - an entire alternative economy,

0:32:500:32:54

and the only entry qualification, the services of a good tax lawyer.

0:32:540:32:58

Whatever happened to the idea of shame?

0:33:010:33:04

"Shame"? Went the way of honour, didn't it?

0:33:040:33:08

So, what do you think about the murder?

0:33:130:33:16

I'm sorry?

0:33:160:33:17

What was it? A mugging? That's what his friends are saying.

0:33:170:33:20

I'm afraid I assumed he was knocked off by an acquaintance. Maybe someone we had a drink with.

0:33:200:33:24

-Is that what you think?

-But then you know those people better than me.

0:33:240:33:27

Correction. I've spent five painful days trying to get to know them.

0:33:270:33:30

In fact, I was just getting close to Dido

0:33:300:33:32

when somebody whacked him on the head.

0:33:320:33:35

Here we are. What was your mother's name again?

0:33:350:33:40

My mother's name? Jean. My father's, Clifford.

0:33:400:33:43

That's right. Yes. I remember now.

0:33:430:33:45

-You're doing that thing.

-What thing is that?

0:33:560:33:59

That thing of pretending to drink. I've had three, you've had none.

0:33:590:34:03

I'm counting. Is that because you think of this meeting as work?

0:34:030:34:07

OK. Is this the moment?

0:34:080:34:10

You go first.

0:34:130:34:14

I think you're CIA.

0:34:140:34:15

CIA?

0:34:150:34:16

In one.

0:34:160:34:17

What makes you think that?

0:34:170:34:19

Because you don't exist on the internet.

0:34:190:34:20

And because you had my phone number in 30 seconds.

0:34:200:34:23

Not hard to get on this island. I could pay your maid.

0:34:230:34:25

-I don't have a maid.

-Just like you got my maid to help search my room.

0:34:250:34:29

OK, I'm going to ask you a favour.

0:34:310:34:35

Whatever else you do, please don't involve any maid.

0:34:350:34:38

What is this? Old-fashioned gallantry? What's her name?

0:34:380:34:41

Natalie? And now for the first time I see a human being.

0:34:410:34:45

You're vulnerable, aren't you, Tom?

0:34:450:34:47

You don't like to see women get hurt.

0:34:470:34:49

I don't like to see anyone get hurt.

0:34:490:34:51

Do you know the story of St Augustine and the seashell?

0:34:510:34:54

Do you know, I don't.

0:34:540:34:55

I keep thinking of it.

0:34:550:34:57

St Augustine saw a child on the beach trying to empty the sea with

0:34:570:35:00

a shell.

0:35:000:35:01

If you want to know what my work feels like at the moment,

0:35:010:35:04

then that sums things up.

0:35:040:35:05

Tell me more.

0:35:060:35:07

The people you had a drink with are first-class crooks.

0:35:090:35:13

In fact, they're more than crooks. They're contractors.

0:35:130:35:16

But you know that, don't you?

0:35:160:35:17

Do I? Somebody told me they were here to build a hotel.

0:35:170:35:20

They build hotels. Yes. When they're not doing other things.

0:35:200:35:24

I came down here to take a good look at them.

0:35:240:35:26

I couldn't believe my luck when I saw you sitting on the beach

0:35:260:35:29

because it wasn't the first time I'd seen you.

0:35:290:35:32

-Really?

-Yes.

0:35:320:35:34

I don't remember.

0:35:340:35:35

I saw you, you didn't see me.

0:35:350:35:37

-Where?

-I was behind glass.

0:35:370:35:39

Langley?

0:35:420:35:43

Even more interesting,

0:35:460:35:48

I got sent an alert just a couple of months ago.

0:35:480:35:50

-We all did.

-What sort of alert?

0:35:500:35:52

When you left England. Congratulations.

0:35:520:35:55

You're Public Enemy Number One.

0:35:550:35:56

Your Prime Minister hates you with a passion.

0:35:560:35:59

Something to do with a file?

0:35:590:36:00

A file you stole!

0:36:040:36:05

I mean, Johnny, I don't want to blow smoke up your ass but in

0:36:060:36:10

my opinion you're the only man who comes well out of the war on terror.

0:36:100:36:16

# Oh, please... #

0:36:230:36:24

Two more, please.

0:36:240:36:25

# ..I'm the great pretender

0:36:250:36:28

# Pretending that I'm doing well... #

0:36:300:36:34

Why, yes, it's been a fascinating few years, you could say,

0:36:350:36:39

since 9/11. Do you know how many Americans now work in intelligence?

0:36:390:36:43

I don't know.

0:36:430:36:44

Over 200,000. In 16 different agencies.

0:36:440:36:48

With 30,000 private contractors in 170 countries at a grand

0:36:480:36:53

cost to the taxpayer of 75 billion a year.

0:36:530:36:57

And they still call it the intelligence community.

0:36:570:37:00

I don't think so.

0:37:000:37:02

A new president came in, and he made a promise.

0:37:020:37:05

-No more torture.

-Close Guantanamo.

0:37:050:37:08

Right. Only guess what? It didn't happen.

0:37:080:37:10

So. Here I am, passing the time pretending to be a businessman.

0:37:100:37:15

Is this with company approval?

0:37:150:37:17

Remember?

0:37:170:37:18

Only a few years back, America was rich.

0:37:200:37:23

We could go to war. We could fight all the wars we wanted, and nobody counted the cost.

0:37:230:37:27

You got ripped off?

0:37:270:37:28

Royally.

0:37:280:37:30

Now it's dusk in America and people are sore.

0:37:300:37:33

It's time for us to get our money back.

0:37:330:37:37

And I'm guessing that prospect might interest you too.

0:37:370:37:40

All right, I'm going to propose a deal.

0:37:440:37:46

Whatever it is, it's not going to be good enough.

0:37:460:37:48

-How do you know?

-Johnny, you're dealing from an empty deck.

0:37:480:37:52

Tall, thin Englishman with good manners in a good suit.

0:37:520:37:55

Not many of those. You're going to be spotted wherever you go.

0:37:550:38:00

And let's face it,

0:38:000:38:02

there's nothing in the world so blown as a blown spy.

0:38:020:38:06

OK, I'm going to help you pull in these crooks.

0:38:080:38:11

That's what I was hoping.

0:38:110:38:12

And in return you're going to let me go.

0:38:120:38:15

Why would I do that? I'm a patriotic American.

0:38:150:38:17

You're not going to call London, you're not going to call Langley.

0:38:170:38:20

We're going to do the job and you're going to give me 24 hours to get away.

0:38:200:38:23

You do well out of it, I do better.

0:38:230:38:26

Is that a deal?

0:38:260:38:27

There is something's wrong with Melanie Fall. She's damaged.

0:38:350:38:40

I want you to find out why.

0:38:410:38:43

RADIO: 'In his memoirs, Shostakovich asks his readers

ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYS

0:39:010:39:02

-Madam, if I may?

-Thank you.

0:39:290:39:31

We don't do this often enough.

0:39:350:39:37

Not for want of trying. On my part, at least.

0:39:370:39:40

Are you going to have wine?

0:39:420:39:44

I certainly am.

0:39:440:39:46

Give me a moment, I'm going to choose something serious.

0:39:460:39:48

I, er...felt it was time we addressed fundamentals.

0:39:500:39:56

-Fundamentals are good.

-I suppose I've been trying to understand the pattern.

0:39:560:40:00

-Pattern?

-Of what businesses we buy. And why we buy them.

0:40:000:40:04

You know this stuff. Any business which presents a market opportunity.

0:40:040:40:07

Yes, but in practice, it's not quite as simple as that, is it?

0:40:070:40:10

There's got to be some ethical dimension.

0:40:100:40:11

I wouldn't buy a brothel because I thought the whores could do more tricks to the hour.

0:40:110:40:15

-Exactly, this is what I'm interested in.

-I'm old-fashioned.

0:40:150:40:18

I like to think that if I do well, maybe achieve a certain

0:40:180:40:21

style of life, then I can raise the level around me.

0:40:210:40:25

-As I go up, so do others.

-It's a great idea.

0:40:250:40:27

This morning, you asked about the Bridge. Well, this is what the Bridge is about.

0:40:270:40:31

-We're putting something aside.

-Yeah. But to what end? Specifically? How's it going to work?

0:40:310:40:36

Tell me, is this what you want to know?

0:40:370:40:39

Sorry, I'm not sure I've ever quite known what drew you

0:40:410:40:44

to us in the first place.

0:40:440:40:45

Haven't you?

0:40:450:40:46

You never actually told me why you left Millbank.

0:40:460:40:49

We had you checked out, of course we did, if not by the best

0:40:490:40:52

background checkers in England, certainly the most expensive.

0:40:520:40:55

What did they say?

0:40:550:40:57

A personal issue. A man.

0:40:570:41:00

Well, then your money was well spent.

0:41:030:41:05

Did they give you his name?

0:41:070:41:08

If so, I chose to forget it.

0:41:080:41:10

You do brilliant work for us, Margot,

0:41:140:41:16

but remember your job is analysis.

0:41:160:41:19

On every project you're first in and you're first out.

0:41:190:41:22

-You stay back at HQ.

-I'm not there for the rougher stuff, is that what you're saying?

0:41:220:41:25

We believe that efficiency generates prosperity. We lean companies.

0:41:250:41:29

We cut the fat. That's what we do.

0:41:290:41:31

But we both know that comes at a human cost.

0:41:310:41:34

Sackings. Families out on the pavement.

0:41:340:41:37

That's why the Bridge is important to me.

0:41:370:41:39

I like to believe there's a contribution to the social

0:41:390:41:42

fabric at the end of all this.

0:41:420:41:44

Stirling, why only you?

0:41:440:41:46

You're trying to make some moral sense of what we're doing.

0:41:460:41:50

Don't you think the rest of us think about these things?

0:41:500:41:52

Of course you do. I know that.

0:41:520:41:54

Look...

0:41:540:41:55

There are only so many paper cup companies I can turn around.

0:41:550:42:00

If the Bridge is doing something to make a difference...

0:42:010:42:05

..I'd like to be part of it.

0:42:060:42:07

Silly, isn't it? You work with people, you like them -

0:42:170:42:20

and you so easily forget they're as complicated as you are.

0:42:200:42:22

Yes, you do.

0:42:240:42:26

-I'll take you through the Bridge tomorrow.

-Thank you.

0:42:280:42:31

-Dinner?

-Yes, please.

0:42:330:42:34

Oh, one more question.

0:42:380:42:39

The man at M15, you're over him, are you?

0:42:390:42:44

Oh, yes. Long over.

0:42:440:42:47

There you are, I was thinking you might be overworked.

0:42:540:42:58

I am overworked. I've been reading company reports.

0:42:580:43:02

I was wondering perhaps

0:43:020:43:03

if you'd like to take a trip round the island.

0:43:030:43:05

This place is rather beyond my pay grade. Do you have a car?

0:43:050:43:09

I have access to a car.

0:43:090:43:10

Do you want to have a swim before we go?

0:43:120:43:14

I don't have any trunks.

0:43:160:43:19

Shame.

0:43:190:43:20

-If you really want to know, Frank was a friend of my father's. So was Gary.

-I see.

0:43:420:43:46

They only half need me on this trip, they more brought me

0:43:480:43:51

here as a reward.

0:43:510:43:53

A reward for what?

0:43:530:43:54

For being a good girl.

0:43:540:43:55

-A glass of beer?

-I'd like that.

-Two, please.

0:43:580:44:01

What happened on the night that Dido was killed?

0:44:020:44:05

Why do you ask?

0:44:070:44:08

You rang me, remember, you wanted to talk about it.

0:44:080:44:10

So I did.

0:44:100:44:11

But first, tell me why did you come to Turks and Caicos?

0:44:120:44:16

Shitty little tax-dodge islands.

0:44:160:44:18

I went to an airport in London and took the first flight.

0:44:180:44:20

Believe it or not, I'd never even heard of them.

0:44:200:44:22

Frank's convinced you're from Inland Revenue.

0:44:220:44:25

I wonder what makes him think that.

0:44:270:44:29

Oh, and about what happened that night? Well, let me tell you...

0:44:290:44:33

Dido was in an obnoxious state.

0:44:330:44:34

I remember.

0:44:340:44:35

It got even more so as the evening went on.

0:44:350:44:39

One thing I've noticed about rich people is they're angry most of the time.

0:44:390:44:43

Maybe they're frightened someone's going to come and take their money away.

0:44:430:44:46

Dido was an unusual man. I'd known him my whole life.

0:44:460:44:50

We were sitting there saying "It's a beautiful night,

0:44:500:44:53

"you've got a drink in your hand, you've just bought a hotel, how's life going to get better?"

0:44:530:44:57

-He bought the hotel?

-Yeah... Sure. They all had.

0:44:570:44:59

-The one you're staying at?

-Dido just kept complaining then sort of staggered off into the distance.

0:44:590:45:04

Who with? Who did he go with?

0:45:040:45:06

Let's talk about something else, shall we?

0:45:090:45:11

You have to eat. You have to eat something.

0:45:240:45:27

Do I? Why?

0:45:290:45:31

Look, these men, they're family friends,

0:45:380:45:42

if that's what you're asking.

0:45:420:45:44

I grew up in New Jersey, people coming round, doing deals,

0:45:450:45:49

family business, shaking hands, then disappearing.

0:45:490:45:54

There's always a hunt for advantage.

0:45:540:45:56

I was always alone.

0:45:580:46:00

I was an only child, with only one parent...

0:46:000:46:03

..in a big, gloomy house on a hill.

0:46:050:46:07

Just me and my dad rattling around.

0:46:080:46:11

-Is your father still alive?

-No, he's dead.

0:46:110:46:14

So I got used to being on my own.

0:46:200:46:22

I was pretty...

0:46:250:46:26

..and my father's friends liked to be with me.

0:46:270:46:30

Dad liked it too.

0:46:350:46:37

You understand what I'm saying?

0:46:410:46:43

Have you talked to anyone about this?

0:46:480:46:50

I'm talking to you.

0:46:550:46:56

Have you ever known anyone who didn't hurt you?

0:47:010:47:03

I need to go to the bathroom.

0:47:140:47:16

Too much beer.

0:47:180:47:20

PHONE BUZZES

0:47:280:47:30

I've upset you, I'm sorry.

0:47:470:47:49

No, it's not your fault. There's something wrong with me.

0:47:530:47:58

There's nothing wrong with you.

0:47:590:48:01

Trust me, there is... There is something deeply wrong me.

0:48:030:48:08

I know more about it than you. I've lived with it longer.

0:48:100:48:14

I won't tell anyone, I promise.

0:48:170:48:21

Thank you.

0:48:240:48:26

Shall we go for a walk?

0:48:330:48:34

You don't think I'm fooled, do you?

0:48:380:48:41

I'm sorry?

0:48:410:48:43

You and Pelissier.

0:48:430:48:44

Oh.

0:48:440:48:46

You don't fool me for a minute.

0:48:460:48:47

Is everyone in British intelligence as charming as you?

0:48:490:48:52

I assume you're working with Curtis.

0:48:550:48:58

Well?

0:49:000:49:01

It's not quite as simple as that.

0:49:010:49:03

It never is.

0:49:030:49:05

But he has asked me to help him, yes.

0:49:050:49:07

Help him get something he can't get for himself?

0:49:100:49:12

Well, I've made a decision, Tom.

0:49:180:49:20

I don't want to spend the rest of my life in witness protection.

0:49:220:49:25

I promise you it won't come to that.

0:49:250:49:27

And are all your promises made so easily?

0:49:290:49:32

Yeah, well... I have an idea.

0:49:370:49:39

I have an idea how we might all get out of this thing alive.

0:49:390:49:42

But there's a problem.

0:49:420:49:45

What's the problem?

0:49:450:49:46

You're going to have to trust me.

0:49:470:49:49

You're good at this.

0:50:000:50:01

It's a simple game.

0:50:010:50:02

You just got to be fast and accurate.

0:50:020:50:05

And have a talent for display.

0:50:070:50:10

If you play like that, you're going to get arrested.

0:50:100:50:12

Whose going to arrest ME?

0:50:120:50:14

And I'll see you and raise five...

0:50:240:50:26

Thank you, Tom. I enjoyed my day. You're a nice man.

0:50:350:50:41

We'll talk again tomorrow.

0:50:410:50:43

Can't we talk tonight?

0:50:430:50:44

You ought to be careful, because if you're not,

0:50:470:50:52

these people will kill you.

0:50:520:50:53

Six to you, Curtis.

0:50:590:51:00

-Hello, baby.

-Hey.

0:51:040:51:05

-Hey, Melanie.

-Nice day?

0:51:050:51:07

-I'll see you.

-You have GOT to be kidding me!

0:51:090:51:12

I'm happy to show you this, but bear in mind, it's confidential.

0:51:170:51:21

The Bridge is a charitable foundation.

0:51:210:51:23

We will file but we haven't filed yet. We're not in that position.

0:51:230:51:26

I see. Any reason for that?

0:51:260:51:28

Money's always happiest when it migrates.

0:51:290:51:33

There it is - marching across the page.

0:51:340:51:37

There's nothing more beautiful, is there, than money going to work?

0:51:370:51:41

See this? Consulting.

0:51:430:51:45

-Consulting?

-Exactly. We put it aside.

0:51:450:51:48

It's like a tithe.

0:51:500:51:52

Exactly. It's a tithe. On everything we do.

0:51:520:51:54

Business doesn't interest me, philosophy does.

0:51:540:51:57

That's why I have the colloquium.

0:51:570:51:58

It's for architects, not plumbers.

0:51:580:52:01

It's for people who want to re-design the system,

0:52:010:52:03

not just make it work.

0:52:030:52:05

You're one of those people?

0:52:060:52:07

Come to the colloquium. Why don't you?

0:52:120:52:15

We can hang out on the islands.

0:52:150:52:17

Islands?

0:52:170:52:19

Turks and Caicos.

0:52:190:52:20

Remind me?

0:52:220:52:24

An hour away from Miami by air, and a universe away in spirit.

0:52:240:52:29

Sir, the Prime Minister's waiting.

0:52:290:52:31

Don't worry. I'll put it away.

0:52:370:52:39

Stirling...

0:52:510:52:54

Alec, I'm sorry, I had no idea you were early.

0:52:540:52:56

No problem, I love being kept waiting by you.

0:52:560:52:58

So where are we going to go?

0:52:580:53:00

My shout, wherever you want.

0:53:000:53:02

Do you want Japanese?

0:53:020:53:03

No. There's a good steak house in Hoxton.

0:53:030:53:05

You go to all these official dinners, you never get a decent piece of meat...

0:53:050:53:08

-I'd forgotten about this.

-About what?

0:53:350:53:37

What fun it is.

0:53:370:53:39

The first sheet is like a trap door.

0:53:390:53:42

It gets us into the catacomb, but it doesn't get us through.

0:53:420:53:45

10% on everything goes to the Bridge.

0:53:450:53:48

Rogers is charging for his services. Then...

0:53:480:53:51

-Then what?

-I don't get it. "Future projects."

0:53:510:53:56

Can you go back? Can you get any more?

0:53:590:54:01

This is good, but it it's not good enough.

0:54:010:54:05

Did Johnny tell you what happened?

0:54:110:54:13

You remember, we were together for a long time.

0:54:150:54:18

And we thought we'd be together for the rest of our lives.

0:54:180:54:21

You could put up with the jazz?

0:54:210:54:22

I could put up with everything. Except being a spy.

0:54:220:54:27

I decided two spies wasn't a good idea. Together. Too many secrets.

0:54:270:54:33

Too many lies.

0:54:330:54:34

It was you who left?

0:54:340:54:35

Johnny's promised me. Whatever happens, he's going to protect you.

0:54:430:54:48

How exactly is he going to protect me?

0:54:480:54:51

I don't even know where he is.

0:54:510:54:53

Margot?

0:54:530:54:54

Yes?

0:54:540:54:56

He's on Turks and Caicos.

0:54:560:54:58

Well, I had a feeling he might be.

0:54:590:55:01

I have to congratulate you, Rollo. You've done well.

0:55:080:55:11

-'Have I?'

-Of course.

0:55:110:55:13

'Not just dragged her back in, but ruined her life as well? Just when she thought she was rid of you.'

0:55:130:55:17

-She's going to thank you for that.

-'Is she? Is she really?'

0:55:170:55:20

Yes. In the long run. What about the other thing?

0:55:200:55:22

Yes, there is a new boss at the CIA, a new broom,

0:55:220:55:26

and, yes, it's true, he wants to make a fresh start. Whatever that means.

0:55:260:55:30

And the man who calls himself Curtis Pelissier?

0:55:300:55:32

In your description, six foot two, 160 pounds,

0:55:320:55:34

-cultured, striking...

-'That's the chap.'

0:55:340:55:36

We don't have a match. I'm sorry,

0:55:360:55:38

I know you don't want to hear this, but he could be anyone at all.

0:55:380:55:41

Ah, there you are. I've been looking for you.

0:56:060:56:09

I'm a man of regular habits, Mr Eliot.

0:56:090:56:11

I take coffee here every morning. Harry, another cup.

0:56:110:56:14

So, how may I help?

0:56:160:56:19

Oh. I've been wondering how the investigation was going.

0:56:190:56:22

Have you? What's your interest?

0:56:220:56:24

Well, if you remember, I was briefly a suspect, I believe.

0:56:240:56:27

It was done with an oar.

0:56:270:56:28

Really?

0:56:280:56:29

Yeah. Wham! Across the face.

0:56:290:56:31

Two people out in a boat, only one slugged the other with an oar.

0:56:320:56:36

Smashed the cheek.

0:56:360:56:37

Parsons fell in the water?

0:56:370:56:38

Are you some kind of professional investigator, Mr Eliot?

0:56:380:56:42

I'm a civil servant looking for somewhere pleasant to retire.

0:56:420:56:45

And what's Pelissier? The lost prince of the Romanovs?

0:56:450:56:48

If you want to know, I'd put my money on an angry woman.

0:56:480:56:52

-Yes? Why?

-It's a crime of passion, isn't it?

0:56:520:56:55

-Passion?

-Yes.

0:56:550:56:57

If it's a woman, have you have a suspect?

0:56:570:56:59

Better than that, we have her passport.

0:56:590:57:01

And in 24 hours we'll have her DNA.

0:57:010:57:04

You weren't thinking of telling her, were you?

0:57:040:57:07

Do you understand the constitution of these islands?

0:57:100:57:13

Did you know Turks and Caicos is a Crown Protectorate?

0:57:130:57:16

-I think I do, yes.

-And the currency is American but the jurisdiction is British.

0:57:160:57:20

We trade in the dollar and kneel to the Crown.

0:57:200:57:24

Yeah. What you might call the worst of both worlds.

0:57:240:57:27

Down at my level, you keep coming across people who

0:57:270:57:31

think that murder is a minor crime.

0:57:310:57:34

-I've noticed that.

-They don't seem concerned about it at all.

0:57:340:57:38

When the CIA wants something, the rest of us have to step out the way.

0:57:380:57:41

Consider yourself fortunate. I happen to like you.

0:57:430:57:47

Personally, I mean.

0:57:480:57:50

Why on earth do you like me?

0:57:500:57:52

Family reasons. I like the way you've treated my sister.

0:57:520:57:55

-Your sister?

-And you've been good to my nephew.

0:57:550:57:58

Yeah. Aldous needs a man in his life.

0:58:000:58:03

He's a good boy. I like him.

0:58:030:58:05

I know you do.

0:58:050:58:06

It's a shame. I don't imagine you'll be sticking around.

0:58:060:58:11

-Hello, how are you?

-Welcome back, Mr Rogers.

-Nice to see you again.

0:58:460:58:49

-Great to see you too.

-This is Margot Tyrell.

-Welcome, Miss Tyrell.

-Thank you.

0:58:490:58:53

-Please, help yourselves.

-How's your business?

0:58:530:58:57

Business is great, we're comfortable. Thank you.

0:58:570:59:00

Thank you.

0:59:080:59:09

Like it? What do you think?

0:59:140:59:18

Wow! I just think wow, that's what I think.

0:59:190:59:23

PHONE BEEPS

0:59:230:59:24

Oh, by the way, shout if you need a room of your own.

0:59:290:59:32

Hey, stranger. What can I get you?

0:59:440:59:47

Can I pour you a drink?

0:59:470:59:48

It's a little early for me.

0:59:480:59:50

Do you know what I like best?

0:59:500:59:52

I like lying on the bed. I can see everyone else's lives.

0:59:530:59:58

It's so much more fun to watch other peoples', don't you think?

0:59:591:00:03

Anything's better than living your own.

1:00:031:00:06

Melanie, time's come, we're going to have to level.

1:00:071:00:12

Yeah, I had an idea we might.

1:00:121:00:14

I had a talk with Pelissier.

1:00:141:00:16

Did you?

1:00:171:00:18

He told me some of the things your friends do for a living.

1:00:181:00:21

-Had you already guessed?

-I was in the general area.

1:00:211:00:23

I had them down as foot soldiers in the war on terror.

1:00:231:00:26

No, Tom, they're not foot soldiers.

1:00:311:00:34

They're quartermasters.

1:00:381:00:39

You wouldn't know the world was suffering, would you?

1:00:451:00:47

Look at these guys, how do you think they're doing so well?

1:00:501:00:53

You tell me.

1:00:531:00:55

Gary, Frank, Dido, they did a thousand things.

1:00:551:00:59

Some good, some bad.

1:00:591:01:01

According to what was needed at the time.

1:01:011:01:04

Then they saw an opening.

1:01:041:01:06

Not so much a coalition of the willing,

1:01:061:01:08

more of a coalition of the billing.

1:01:081:01:11

Frank and Gary build detention camps.

1:01:121:01:14

Yes. Among other things.

1:01:141:01:18

Give me a cigarette, would you?

1:01:221:01:24

LAUGHTER AND CONVERSATION

1:01:261:01:28

-WOMAN:

-Senator, welcome.

1:01:281:01:29

Prisons, cages, fences, watchtowers. Electronics. Security systems.

1:01:361:01:43

The camps had to be built and nobody had to know it was happening.

1:01:431:01:47

Do you have any idea of the scale of the thing?

1:01:471:01:50

Yes. I think I do.

1:01:501:01:52

Think about it, camps sprouting up all over the world.

1:01:521:01:55

It was a growth business like no other.

1:01:551:01:57

And the best part, there isn't any rate.

1:01:571:02:00

How much do you charge for building a detention camp?

1:02:001:02:04

Not as much as you charge for keeping quiet about building

1:02:041:02:06

a detention camp.

1:02:061:02:08

The boys, they just took what they liked.

1:02:091:02:11

But now everyone's starting to ask questions.

1:02:131:02:16

So, everyone's rushing to get their money re-invested.

1:02:161:02:19

Re-invested how?

1:02:191:02:20

Look around.

1:02:221:02:24

This place?

1:02:241:02:26

Exactly. It's laundry.

1:02:261:02:28

It's good, isn't it?

1:02:291:02:30

You could say it's perfect.

1:02:321:02:34

Selling off those places, buying up these.

1:02:341:02:37

Prisons for the poor, prisons for the rich.

1:02:371:02:40

And that's how the world goes round.

1:02:401:02:42

Curtis is looking for proof, isn't he? Proof America's been swindled.

1:02:441:02:48

Yes. That's what he wants.

1:02:481:02:50

Yeah, well, tell him if he wants it, I've got it.

1:02:501:02:52

Or rather I know someone who does.

1:02:521:02:54

It has to be on paper.

1:02:541:02:55

-Oh, it's on paper.

-Good.

1:02:551:02:57

Tell him the person he needs is flying in today.

1:02:571:02:59

Today?

1:02:591:03:01

I told you. I've been planning this thing a long time.

1:03:041:03:07

Will you close the blinds? I'm sleepy.

1:03:181:03:21

BEEP

1:03:251:03:26

WHIRRING

1:03:261:03:27

Melanie?

1:03:371:03:39

Yes?

1:03:391:03:40

There's an Englishman, isn't there?

1:03:411:03:44

An Englishman? Is that who you're after?

1:03:441:03:48

Not the Englishman.

1:03:481:03:50

The Englishman's friend.

1:03:511:03:53

How long are we going to sit here?

1:04:031:04:05

Until she arrives.

1:04:071:04:09

How are we going to know her?

1:04:131:04:15

Ah.

1:04:171:04:18

I'm glad to see you.

1:04:181:04:20

Have you had a good flight?

1:04:201:04:22

Couldn't have been better.

1:04:221:04:23

Melanie sends her best.

1:04:231:04:24

Well, I should hope so.

1:04:241:04:26

This is Curtis Pelissier. Curtis, meet Clare Clovis.

1:04:261:04:30

Clare's an accountant.

1:04:301:04:31

Is that all you've got?

1:04:311:04:33

What else should I have? I'm not planning on staying long.

1:04:331:04:35

Curtis is the man you'll actually be dealing with.

1:04:371:04:40

He's the money?

1:04:401:04:41

You're right.

1:04:411:04:42

Then who are you?

1:04:421:04:43

Oh, you know. Home help.

1:04:431:04:45

How many copies are we going to need?

1:04:471:04:49

I think we all need our own, don't we?

1:04:491:04:51

Does that mean three?

1:04:511:04:52

I think it does. Oh, and one for safekeeping.

1:04:521:04:54

Where's safe on this island?

1:04:541:04:56

Good. We put the figures in here, and now they're safe.

1:05:031:05:07

Are you going to lock?

1:05:091:05:11

When do I get my three?

1:05:111:05:13

You get three million each, you and Melanie,

1:05:131:05:16

just as soon as the deal goes through.

1:05:161:05:18

Then why do I need to stay for the meeting?

1:05:191:05:20

Because they need to see you.

1:05:201:05:22

They need to know what I've done?

1:05:221:05:24

They'll know that already.

1:05:241:05:25

But they'll need to know you're not going to change your mind.

1:05:251:05:28

Do you trust this man?

1:05:291:05:31

I'll tell you in 24 hours.

1:05:341:05:36

Hello. I'm picking up accreditation, my name is Tom Eliot.

1:05:411:05:44

I'm a guest of Mr Pelissier.

1:05:441:05:46

Of course, Mr Eliot, it's here.

1:05:461:05:48

Thank you.

1:05:491:05:50

Come this way, please.

1:05:501:05:52

Good grief, look at you.

1:05:521:05:54

You've never seen me at work. This is how I am.

1:05:541:05:57

It's an act.

1:05:571:05:58

It's very convincing.

1:05:581:06:00

Well, it should be. It took me my whole life to get it down.

1:06:001:06:04

Let's go outside and share a cigarette.

1:06:041:06:06

Sure.

1:06:061:06:07

-Do you have my tickets? You've got my money?

-Yes, I do.

1:06:091:06:11

Did you take a look to see where I was going?

1:06:141:06:17

As a matter of fact, I did.

1:06:171:06:20

Is there even a shadow of a chance I might see you there?

1:06:301:06:33

I need to ask you a question. Did you kill Dido?

1:06:361:06:40

Either they did or you did and I don't want to believe it was you.

1:06:411:06:45

That would take some nerve, wouldn't it...

1:06:501:06:52

..to kill a man,

1:06:541:06:55

and then call you up the next morning and joke about it?

1:06:551:06:58

What sort of person does that? What sort of person?

1:06:591:07:04

We had a nice day, didn't we, Tom?

1:07:071:07:09

It was a nice day. Drinking beer by the beach...

1:07:111:07:15

..shooting pool.

1:07:171:07:18

It was a nice time.

1:07:211:07:22

We're not going to see each other again, are we?

1:07:251:07:29

After this thing blows.

1:07:291:07:30

I don't think so, no.

1:07:321:07:34

So, can I ask you a favour?

1:07:391:07:40

Of course. What is it?

1:07:401:07:42

Will you tell me your name?

1:07:441:07:46

It's Johnny Worricker.

1:07:491:07:50

Nice.

1:07:541:07:55

A warm welcome to this beautiful island.

1:08:101:08:13

As we all know, this could hardly be a more threatening moment.

1:08:131:08:16

We meet at a dangerous time

1:08:161:08:18

when a setback in the financial markets has been

1:08:181:08:21

misrepresented as a crisis in the engine room of capitalism itself.

1:08:211:08:26

We all remember how quickly the Berlin Wall came down.

1:08:261:08:29

It vanished, as if it had never been.

1:08:291:08:31

Well, our system is much more robust.

1:08:311:08:33

So, let's all gather round the bed, plug in the IV,

1:08:331:08:36

turn on the monitor,

1:08:361:08:38

and try to bring this ailing patient back to life.

1:08:381:08:41

Thank you.

1:08:431:08:44

Well, goodness me, isn't life full of surprises?

1:08:481:08:51

You probably don't remember me, my name is Margot Tyrell.

1:08:511:08:54

Miss Tyrell, haven't we met before?

1:08:541:08:56

Do you know, I believe we have?

1:08:561:08:58

I used to work in the security services.

1:08:581:09:00

Well, snap. How did you get here?

1:09:001:09:02

I flew. Private plane.

1:09:021:09:04

Did you? And how are you planning to get back exactly?

1:09:041:09:08

Good question. I work for Stirling Rogers.

1:09:091:09:12

He's a man I'd very much like to meet.

1:09:121:09:14

Well, I'm sure that can be arranged.

1:09:141:09:16

After all, isn't that what the colloquium is about? Making contacts?

1:09:161:09:19

Exchanging ideas? This is for you.

1:09:191:09:21

Why don't I call him over?

1:09:211:09:22

Why don't you do that?

1:09:221:09:24

-Stirling.

-Yeah.

-There's somebody here who wants to meet you.

1:09:271:09:31

We have an acquaintance in common.

1:09:351:09:36

-Say who.

-Not to name-drop, but the Prime Minister's always taken

1:09:361:09:40

a personal interest in my well-being.

1:09:401:09:42

I'm sure he has. Alec's a very close friend of mine.

1:09:421:09:46

So I've heard.

1:09:461:09:47

Why don't you and I get together to catch up?

1:09:471:09:49

At cocktail hour.

1:09:491:09:51

I missed your name.

1:09:511:09:52

I didn't give it.

1:09:521:09:54

I'm afraid six o'clock, I can't. I'm busy.

1:09:541:09:56

Frank and Gary are coming.

1:09:561:09:58

-Frank?

-Yes. And Gary.

1:10:001:10:01

I've also invited a friend from the American intelligence community.

1:10:011:10:05

Why don't I try and make myself free?

1:10:081:10:10

Yeah. Why don't you?

1:10:101:10:12

Mr Rogers.

1:10:141:10:15

I have a deposit box. Name of Eliot.

1:10:191:10:23

Please step through.

1:10:231:10:24

Good morning, Mr Eliot.

1:10:291:10:30

Hey, Tony, how are you doing?

1:10:451:10:48

-Beautiful.

-Yeah.

-So beautiful.

1:10:491:10:52

Sorry to drop in,

1:10:541:10:55

I was hoping you might be able to take care of some stuff for me.

1:10:551:10:58

-What is it?

-All my earthly possessions.

1:10:581:11:00

OK.

1:11:021:11:03

Paintings mostly. Also some cash.

1:11:081:11:11

You're leaving me cash?

1:11:111:11:12

Just for now.

1:11:121:11:14

I'm hoping to be back by midnight but it's possible I may have to make a run for it.

1:11:141:11:18

If I do, the stuff is yours.

1:11:181:11:20

How am I going to know?

1:11:201:11:22

The clue is, I won't be here.

1:11:231:11:25

Also, I brought one of these.

1:11:271:11:29

It's for Aldous, now he's got the hang of them. Is he around?

1:11:291:11:32

He's at a friend's house.

1:11:321:11:34

Hand him the spiny thing and, erm...

1:11:351:11:39

..tell him from me he's a wonderful boy.

1:11:411:11:44

What, and give him a big head?

1:11:451:11:47

Risk it.

1:11:471:11:48

You in trouble?

1:11:551:11:56

You thought this was a nice little island, didn't you?

1:11:581:12:01

That was your fault. I thought they were all like you.

1:12:021:12:05

Get out of here.

1:12:071:12:08

Oh, and I meant to say, there's a woman.

1:12:091:12:13

She may arrive.

1:12:131:12:14

She's got your address.

1:12:141:12:16

Do you think you could possibly take her in?

1:12:171:12:20

Margot. Are you alone?

1:12:461:12:49

You look rested. Did you get some sleep?

1:13:011:13:03

-I did.

-Are you ready?

1:13:031:13:05

More than ready.

1:13:051:13:06

Good evening. I trust you're both rested.

1:13:081:13:11

-BOTH:

-We are.

1:13:111:13:12

I took a short sleep myself.

1:13:121:13:14

So, whatever happens, remember, stick to the script.

1:13:141:13:19

Well, gentlemen, I see sour expressions all round.

1:13:261:13:32

I knew it would be you.

1:13:321:13:34

It had to be me.

1:13:341:13:35

After all, I'm the only one who knows the facts.

1:13:351:13:37

Do you? Do you really?

1:13:371:13:39

Why don't we all sit down? Curtis Pelissier.

1:13:391:13:42

Stirling Rogers.

1:13:421:13:44

-Margot Tyrell.

-Pleasure.

1:13:441:13:45

The boys don't want to tell you, but they're not very happy.

1:13:501:13:53

-You got that right.

-Is that orange juice fresh?

1:13:531:13:56

-They took a beating at cards.

-It's fresh.

1:13:561:13:58

I made 10,000 dollars the other night.

1:13:581:14:00

And now we're going to play for higher stakes.

1:14:001:14:03

Let's cut the crap, Pelissier. You're not as smart as you think you are.

1:14:031:14:06

You've had CIA written all over you from the day you arrived.

1:14:061:14:10

I don't know whether to be flattered.

1:14:101:14:13

And your sidekick is some kind of fairy English cop.

1:14:131:14:16

-Close.

-You won't be so happy when we tell you the next piece of news.

1:14:161:14:19

-Go ahead.

-You underestimated us. We spoken to your boss. We know him.

1:14:191:14:23

We know him extremely well. We've worked closely together in the past.

1:14:231:14:27

-Have you?

-Yes.

-I don't see it makes much difference.

1:14:271:14:30

Whatever happens, you're still going to have to pay. Be-definitely.

1:14:301:14:34

You know as well as we do the CIA is split down the middle.

1:14:341:14:37

Half the people that work there approve of this stuff, half don't.

1:14:371:14:40

You're going to have to tell me what this "stuff" is.

1:14:401:14:42

I'm guessing detention without trial. Torture. Rendition.

1:14:421:14:45

Gladstone builds the camps.

1:14:451:14:47

It's not our business what goes on in them.

1:14:471:14:49

No, but it is mine.

1:14:491:14:52

If I can just say a word.

1:14:521:14:54

Go ahead.

1:14:541:14:55

Curtis asked me to take a look at the figures.

1:14:551:14:58

What figures are those?

1:14:581:14:59

As provided by Ms Clovis here, who works as your accountant.

1:14:591:15:02

Or did, until yesterday.

1:15:021:15:04

We've made an arrangement.

1:15:041:15:06

These figures are being sent all over the world - newspapers,

1:15:061:15:09

television stations - in half an hour, unless you make your payment.

1:15:091:15:13

The practical details of how to effect

1:15:131:15:16

the payment are on the other sheet.

1:15:161:15:17

Go ahead. Publish. What do we care?

1:15:171:15:20

You think people are shocked by this kind of thing?

1:15:211:15:23

As a matter of fact, I do, yes.

1:15:231:15:25

It happens all the time.

1:15:251:15:27

High prices? Since when is that an indictable offence?

1:15:271:15:29

If overcharging were a crime, the whole world would be behind bars.

1:15:291:15:32

I've timed my computer, they'll go off automatically

1:15:321:15:35

unless I stop it.

1:15:351:15:36

I don't believe it. I don't believe a fucking word!

1:15:381:15:42

Whoa, whoa. Let's just keep it civilised? Please?

1:15:421:15:46

Gary, sit down.

1:15:461:15:49

After all, isn't that your interest? Civilisation and its values?

1:15:531:15:58

Isn't that what the colloquium's about?

1:15:581:16:00

I swear I'm going to deck this guy.

1:16:001:16:02

I wouldn't advise it. There's been one murder already.

1:16:021:16:06

And, what's more, we all know who did it.

1:16:061:16:08

Something to do with Dido's sense of ownership.

1:16:101:16:13

She hit him in the face with an oar.

1:16:151:16:17

Fair enough, I don't blame her after a lifetime of abuse.

1:16:171:16:20

We're all tired of old men who think they're entitled.

1:16:201:16:24

-How do you know?

-Because she told me.

1:16:241:16:26

No. She wouldn't say that to anyone.

1:16:281:16:31

She said it to me.

1:16:311:16:32

That really is something you don't want to see played

1:16:351:16:38

out in public, isn't it?

1:16:381:16:40

Do you want the details in court?

1:16:401:16:42

I heard there was a name.

1:16:481:16:50

A sort of joke name. Only the joke isn't funny.

1:16:521:16:56

You called yourselves the syndicate.

1:16:571:17:00

-Melanie won't go to court.

-You see, if you take a look at the figures...

1:17:061:17:12

We know the figures.

1:17:121:17:15

Gladstone provided a ton of wiring and metal cages worth 50 million bucks,

1:17:151:17:19

and charged 500 million.

1:17:191:17:21

Use the words "national security", you can get away with anything.

1:17:211:17:24

Times are changing. It's a recession. We want 200 back.

1:17:241:17:29

-That's fair.

-How are we supposed to get our hands on 200 million?

1:17:291:17:32

It's in one of your accounts right now. I know which one.

1:17:321:17:36

I'm the accountant, remember?

1:17:361:17:38

You still get out with a good profit. And no criminal convictions.

1:17:381:17:42

-No. We're not buying.

-You have to buy.

1:17:421:17:45

Melanie looks after herself. And as for the rest of it, we tough it out.

1:17:451:17:48

Your word against ours.

1:17:481:17:50

Truly, I wouldn't recommend it.

1:17:501:17:52

Going to war with the company is never a good idea.

1:17:521:17:54

We'll take our chances.

1:17:541:17:56

Oh, goodness, I'd almost forgotten, there is something else.

1:18:031:18:07

I forgot to tell you, Curtis, I do have another document.

1:18:091:18:14

From another source.

1:18:141:18:15

-Um, "escrow"?

-I'm sorry?

1:18:171:18:20

Is that the word? An "escrow account"?

1:18:201:18:23

I mean, I had to take advice on what exactly that means.

1:18:231:18:26

Did he get this from you?

1:18:291:18:30

Margot, did he get this from you?

1:18:321:18:33

Doesn't it mean the money just sits there?

1:18:361:18:38

And nobody can touch it?

1:18:381:18:39

-That's what it means.

-Until someone needs it?

1:18:391:18:42

And when, I wonder, is that going to be?

1:18:421:18:45

Please explain.

1:18:451:18:46

You see, Curtis, we live in a rapidly changing world.

1:18:461:18:49

Downing Street used to be the height of a man's ambition,

1:18:491:18:53

but now it seems to be only a stepping stone.

1:18:531:18:57

I don't think the Prime Minister has any urgent plans to stand down...

1:18:571:19:01

if that's who you're talking about.

1:19:011:19:02

Ah, but it's not me going to decide, is it?

1:19:021:19:05

Or you, Mr Rogers.

1:19:051:19:06

No, that's the one last decision that still lies with the British electorate.

1:19:061:19:10

If you're going to make allegations against Alec Beasley,

1:19:101:19:13

then I suggest you make them privately.

1:19:131:19:15

Why? Are you recording this?

1:19:151:19:17

No. Are you?

1:19:171:19:18

Last time I saw my recorder, swear to God,

1:19:181:19:20

it was sitting in an ice-box. Where's yours?

1:19:201:19:23

It's perfectly clear,

1:19:231:19:25

the so-called Bridge is partly a holding account.

1:19:251:19:30

So what?

1:19:301:19:31

In the name of Stirling Rogers.

1:19:311:19:33

But there's another partner, isn't there?

1:19:341:19:37

Call him a sleeping partner.

1:19:381:19:40

You'd better be careful.

1:19:411:19:43

Oh, I forgot. Alec Beasley isn't a politician.

1:19:451:19:49

He's a statesman.

1:19:501:19:52

Quite right. An altogether more profitable line of work.

1:19:531:19:59

After all, he's going to have to do something after he leaves office.

1:19:591:20:04

Is there any territorial dispute in the world he's not qualified

1:20:041:20:08

to settle for a large salary from the luxury of a suite

1:20:081:20:11

in a five-star hotel?

1:20:111:20:12

Lucky, isn't it, that he has a fund, waiting for his global good works?

1:20:141:20:21

I said no politicians. Why get politicians involved?

1:20:231:20:29

The profiteering from building the camps is going to finance

1:20:311:20:35

the Prime Minister's future career.

1:20:351:20:37

It's as simple as that. It's in black and white.

1:20:371:20:42

On the table in front of you.

1:20:431:20:45

It's him, isn't it? That's who it is.

1:20:481:20:51

The man you told me about. The man you loved.

1:20:521:20:56

Forgive me, Stirling.

1:21:011:21:03

You'll find me in our room.

1:21:051:21:07

We need to get out. We need to get out of this.

1:21:111:21:15

Strange, isn't it?

1:21:201:21:23

People want the world to change, but they don't think about providing the means to do it.

1:21:231:21:28

Money flows, that's what it does. Who cares where it comes from?

1:21:281:21:31

The question is where it goes.

1:21:311:21:34

That's why we have islands like this. They're...safety valves.

1:21:361:21:40

Yeah. Or sewage farms.

1:21:401:21:44

The rest of the world is struggling along,

1:21:441:21:46

and for some reason you guys think you can cut yourselves off. Who declared you immune?

1:21:461:21:50

200, did you say?

1:21:531:21:54

Yes. 200.

1:21:541:21:56

Let's be clear. The money is paid and we never hear of this business again.

1:21:561:21:59

Good decision. I was told you were decisive.

1:21:591:22:02

Do you own the police?

1:22:021:22:04

I wouldn't say we own them. They're British.

1:22:041:22:07

Well, then you own them. Can you fix them?

1:22:071:22:10

Can you fix them?

1:22:101:22:11

Then Melanie leaves the island tomorrow. No charges.

1:22:131:22:16

-Agreed.

-And our passports?

1:22:161:22:18

-Thrown in.

-Returned as soon as the money is paid?

1:22:181:22:21

In your hands.

1:22:211:22:22

Is it a deal?

1:22:261:22:27

Well done. Successful operation. The money's gone through.

1:22:291:22:34

Better still, your friend Melanie's killed one of them,

1:22:341:22:38

she can kill the other two as far as I'm concerned.

1:22:381:22:41

Clare, if you go to my room, I'll join you.

1:22:411:22:44

I'll give you cash.

1:22:441:22:46

Really?

1:22:461:22:47

Really. Trust me.

1:22:471:22:49

So I guess I have to thank you.

1:22:541:22:57

You pulled a trick in there.

1:22:571:22:58

You're as good as they say you are.

1:22:581:23:00

Am I good?

1:23:061:23:07

We got what we wanted.

1:23:091:23:10

Yes. You did. I won't.

1:23:101:23:13

It's a shame, really, Curtis, you're such a low-life,

1:23:151:23:17

given that you do have a certain lizard charm.

1:23:171:23:20

-I don't know what you're talking about.

-Don't you?

1:23:201:23:22

-No.

-Then what's that thug doing over there?

1:23:221:23:24

He was there when we went in. He's following us now.

1:23:241:23:27

Yeah, even a fairy cop knows when he's being sold out.

1:23:271:23:30

Look, old man, I'm sorry about this, really I am.

1:23:341:23:38

-I'm sure you are.

-You can't imagine the pressure I've been under.

1:23:381:23:41

-Oh, I think I can.

-I've never known anything like it.

1:23:411:23:43

I always knew you weren't a rogue.

1:23:431:23:45

You don't think like a rogue. You think like a company man.

1:23:451:23:49

London's desperate. They want you back. They're insisting.

1:23:491:23:52

They want you badly.

1:23:521:23:53

You made a promise. You promised me!

1:23:531:23:57

Johnny, you know how it works.

1:23:571:23:58

One day I'm going to need a favour from M15.

1:23:581:24:02

-I bet you will.

-I'm going to need it.

1:24:021:24:04

Do you think I'll get my favour if I let you go?

1:24:041:24:07

Johnny, you know what happens to whistle-blowers.

1:24:071:24:10

They turn into lonely old men with bad breath...

1:24:101:24:14

..and computers.

1:24:151:24:17

I'm going to go.

1:24:171:24:18

-You don't have a chance at the airport.

-I know that.

1:24:181:24:20

-They're waiting for you.

-I'll meet you at Chico's. Buy me a whisky.

1:24:201:24:24

I'll be there in half an hour. And this time I'll drink.

1:24:241:24:27

But I have to say one goodbye.

1:24:291:24:31

He goes where you go.

1:24:331:24:35

Ah.

1:24:371:24:38

Fine.

1:24:401:24:41

DOOR SHUTS

1:25:101:25:11

I wanted to bring you some flowers.

1:25:181:25:20

Thank you. That's kind.

1:25:201:25:23

It's just things that grow by the seashore.

1:25:231:25:26

The island's interesting for its flora and fauna.

1:25:281:25:31

I'd like to see it.

1:25:311:25:32

Yes. I'd like that, too.

1:25:321:25:35

What did Rogers say?

1:25:481:25:50

Oh, he didn't say anything. I climbed out the bathroom window.

1:25:501:25:54

That was very...grown-up of you.

1:25:561:25:59

Yeah. Wasn't it?

1:25:591:26:00

It was clever of you to connect Rogers with Beasley.

1:26:031:26:06

It was clever of you, too.

1:26:061:26:08

How did you do that?

1:26:101:26:11

Oh, I had help. You?

1:26:131:26:15

Oh, I had help too.

1:26:171:26:18

I knew Stirling would leap to defend his friend Beasley.

1:26:201:26:24

-He seemed to trust you completely.

-You're right.

1:26:241:26:26

What was the reason for that?

1:26:261:26:28

All right, you don't have to tell me.

1:26:311:26:33

Why? Would you rather not know?

1:26:331:26:35

That reassures me. I'm pleased.

1:26:371:26:39

After all, it means you can still be hurt.

1:26:401:26:42

Oh, I can be hurt.

1:26:461:26:47

Good evening, sir. You're on private property.

1:26:521:26:56

-You're going to have to show me your papers.

-That's not a problem.

1:26:561:26:59

At the station.

1:26:591:27:01

I can't come to the station now.

1:27:011:27:03

I'm afraid you don't have a choice.

1:27:031:27:05

Listen, erm...one way or another, I've got bad news.

1:27:231:27:29

Well, you wouldn't be Johnny if you didn't.

1:27:291:27:31

I don't think we'll be able to stay on the island.

1:27:311:27:35

How long have we got?

1:27:351:27:37

Maybe...three minutes.

1:27:371:27:40

Because you're English, they don't actually kill you.

1:27:411:27:44

-But they do make your life unliveable.

-Can I say something?

1:27:441:27:46

-Of course.

-Just so we're clear?

1:27:461:27:48

Please.

1:27:481:27:49

I didn't give up everything because of you.

1:27:491:27:52

I know what this is about.

1:27:541:27:56

It's about British collusion in torture. Isn't it?

1:27:561:27:59

Partly.

1:27:591:28:00

And the corruption of intelligence.

1:28:001:28:02

It's about all the lies of the last ten years.

1:28:021:28:05

-It's about the lying.

-Yes.

1:28:051:28:07

I am against torture.

1:28:071:28:08

So am I.

1:28:081:28:09

And I'm against it being covered up.

1:28:091:28:12

So anything I choose to do isn't just because of you.

1:28:121:28:15

It's also because it's time it was done.

1:28:151:28:17

We're going to have a go on the run...

1:28:261:28:28

Looks like it.

1:28:281:28:29

We both know what that means.

1:28:291:28:31

We do.

1:28:311:28:32

Hand-to-mouth is putting it mildly.

1:28:321:28:35

One day to the next, never being secure.

1:28:351:28:38

Margot, I've seen the price people pay.

1:28:381:28:41

We'll pay that price.

1:28:431:28:44

An awful lot of things went wrong, didn't they? Between us?

1:28:481:28:51

They certainly did.

1:28:531:28:55

This time it's going to be different, I promise.

1:28:581:29:01

I'm going to give you no reason to leave. None whatsoever.

1:29:011:29:07

I'll hold you to that.

1:29:111:29:12

Do we have too much luggage?

1:29:211:29:23

No. There's two of us now.

1:29:241:29:27

TANNOY: 'This is the final call for Jet Blue flight 856.'

1:29:311:29:35

That's us.

1:29:351:29:36

Well, what do you think?

1:30:421:30:44

Give him a few minutes.

1:30:441:30:45

-Are you sure?

-Sure. He'll come.

1:30:471:30:48

Face it, it's an island, there's nowhere else he can go.

1:30:481:30:53

-Hey.

-Hey, man. How was your lobster?

1:30:561:30:59

Oh. It wasn't for me. It was a gift.

1:30:591:31:02

Er, you haven't met. This is my friend Margot Tyrell.

1:31:041:31:08

Hello.

1:31:091:31:10

This is Jim Carroll. He's a policeman.

1:31:111:31:14

Show me your passports?

1:31:141:31:15

"Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State requests

1:31:221:31:26

"and requires in the Name of Her Majesty all those whom it may

1:31:261:31:30

"concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without hindrance, and

1:31:301:31:35

"to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary."

1:31:351:31:40

These are British islands.

1:31:431:31:45

And you're holding British passports.

1:31:461:31:50

You're free to go.

1:31:501:31:51

Thank you. Thank you. No, really.

1:31:531:31:57

Thank you very much.

1:31:571:31:58

Come back soon.

1:32:001:32:01

Goodbye.

1:32:101:32:11

Another?

1:33:091:33:10

Thank you.

1:33:121:33:13

Two more.

1:33:131:33:14

Well?
