0:00:02 > 0:00:03This programme contains some strong language

0:00:03 > 0:00:05He has lied to you about everything.

0:00:05 > 0:00:07I was never involved in ordering executions.

0:00:07 > 0:00:11Alex came rushing back from work at lunchtime today.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13I don't think he knows. Do you think he does?

0:00:14 > 0:00:17It's dynamite. Everything is there.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20The people that turned down the chance

0:00:20 > 0:00:22of getting rid of Hitler in 1938.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25- Are you going to make this all public?- Yes.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28At a Foreign Office dinner they're giving in my honour.

0:00:28 > 0:00:32You going to change everything? People spouting poetry.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34- I'm getting married. - Married?- Yes!

0:00:34 > 0:00:36We haven't told anybody so far.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38I dropped by to say hello,

0:00:38 > 0:00:40and I also thought that it was time to tell the world

0:00:40 > 0:00:43about how we're giving Nazis a night out,

0:00:43 > 0:00:45and lovely new lives if we think they're worth it.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49'I'm pretty sure people would be very interested to hear about that.'

0:00:50 > 0:00:53LOUD CHATTER

0:00:56 > 0:01:00And now, we have the chance to hear some music.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02A world premiere, in fact!

0:01:02 > 0:01:08Mr Callum Ferguson is going to play his latest composition. Callum?

0:01:08 > 0:01:11APPLAUSE

0:01:15 > 0:01:17I have never been so terrified.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Fighting in Normandy was nothing compared to this!

0:01:28 > 0:01:32SOULFUL MUSIC STARTS

0:02:33 > 0:02:35DOOR SLAMS

0:02:38 > 0:02:39Sorry.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43No need to apologise. I am rather in the way.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45I might have guessed that'd happen!

0:02:45 > 0:02:47That's my brother playing!

0:02:47 > 0:02:49You can tell from up here?

0:02:49 > 0:02:50Yes, I know that tune.

0:02:50 > 0:02:55Callum always tries out his new pieces on me, since we were little.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Ah, so you're the policeman's brother?

0:02:57 > 0:02:59I'm very interested to meet you.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03Yes, I'm Victor, and I guess you're the perfume lady?

0:03:03 > 0:03:04I am, yes.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Very definitely the perfume lady.

0:03:07 > 0:03:08Well, I won't stop, though.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11Can't you? Even for a moment?

0:03:11 > 0:03:14No, there are people looking for me, and I have much to do.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18And what's more, I've just realised something.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20What have you realised?

0:03:20 > 0:03:21How everybody is moving on.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25And that's just how it's going to be now.

0:03:25 > 0:03:26Yes.

0:03:26 > 0:03:31Yes, I'm not sure where I fit in at all, really.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Well, if it's any comfort, that makes two of us.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Me sitting here on the landing, too nervous to go downstairs.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42And me charging about.

0:03:45 > 0:03:46I'm sorry.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57MUSIC ENDS

0:03:57 > 0:04:00APPLAUSE

0:04:11 > 0:04:15I take it all back. This man has a use after all!

0:04:15 > 0:04:16LAUGHTER

0:04:16 > 0:04:18And the other thing I take back,

0:04:18 > 0:04:21I thought tonight was going to be a disaster!

0:04:21 > 0:04:24But it hasn't been that at all, has it?

0:04:24 > 0:04:27It's dangerously close to being a success!

0:04:29 > 0:04:32FAST MUSIC STARTS UP

0:05:38 > 0:05:40WOMAN GASPS

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Mr Ferguson?

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Are you dining with us this evening?

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Yes. Yes, I am. I think I'll have the soup.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03And then the pork served with some boiled potatoes and cabbage.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Can you do the special cabbage? - Mr Ferguson...

0:06:07 > 0:06:11No, I will have the special cabbage!

0:06:11 > 0:06:12Is that all right?!

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Impertinent.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15Mr Ferguson!

0:06:24 > 0:06:25Mr Ferguson?

0:06:25 > 0:06:29I really must insist. You must see the doctor.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31For the sake of the other guests, I must insist.

0:06:31 > 0:06:32Excuse me, please.

0:06:34 > 0:06:35Please leave us, thank you.

0:06:43 > 0:06:44What's the matter, Victor?

0:06:48 > 0:06:49You shouldn't be here.

0:06:51 > 0:06:52You're missing your evening.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Don't worry, they can manage without me.

0:06:58 > 0:06:59I'm not sure...

0:06:59 > 0:07:03I'm not sure I can manage, though, not tonight...

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Not any more.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17I don't want to cry all over you again.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32ECHOING VOICES

0:07:43 > 0:07:45It's always a much better view like that.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47So you say each time.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Really? How many times have you been this week?

0:07:50 > 0:07:52I've been almost every day this week.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54I've been almost every day for the last six weeks, actually!

0:07:54 > 0:07:55What dedication!

0:07:55 > 0:07:59It's been a bit of a blur with all the pills.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Aren't you neglecting the German, then?

0:08:01 > 0:08:02No, no, his work's nearly there.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05You look fantastically smart today!

0:08:05 > 0:08:08Do you always look like this when you visit the loony ward?

0:08:08 > 0:08:11You're not in a loony ward, you're in a psychiatric ward,

0:08:11 > 0:08:13and you're going to be able to leave soon.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15I'm locked up, Callum.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17But at least I've not got electrodes poking out of my head,

0:08:17 > 0:08:19thanks to you, and I'm grateful.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23Today, my mind is just wonderfully clear.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25That's good because I have a surprise for you today.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28- I brought some visitors. - Visitors?- Yeah.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32Hello, Victor. You look so much better!

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Very good to see you, Victor.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35I brought you some chocolate.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Really good dark chocolate, don't ask me how I got it!- Thank you.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41This can't be all for me, you looking like this?

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Well, it's not entirely for you, I'll admit.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46We're going to a rather formal cricket match to watch Alex play.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48The Foreign Office versus the Home Office.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50That explains it. I thought you were going to a wedding!

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Talking of weddings, have you heard the news?

0:08:53 > 0:08:55The German is getting married!

0:08:55 > 0:08:57He's getting married?!

0:08:57 > 0:09:01Yes, he's marrying the young waitress from the hotel, Anna.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Isn't that amazing?!

0:09:03 > 0:09:06We're going to the engagement party very soon.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13LIGHT APPLAUSE

0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Ah, Rupert. Good afternoon. - It's going well?

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Yes, very well.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Good afternoon, sir.- Good luck.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24The chief.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30I have to say, you're very calm for someone's who's about to go in.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32I'm totally calm, yes.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33Altogether, in fact.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37It makes such a difference she's happy.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41I had no idea what an avalanche of work was going to hit me at the FO,

0:09:41 > 0:09:43all these worries about if the Russians get the bomb,

0:09:43 > 0:09:45and whether we should strike at them first.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48I'm so pleased her evenings of music and poetry

0:09:48 > 0:09:49have proved such a success.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52It was your idea, Alex.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54For her to do more at the hotel.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57It was, but you've encouraged her.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00And for that I'm grateful.

0:10:06 > 0:10:07Looks like you're in.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13So he's off!

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Talking of bombs going off,

0:10:15 > 0:10:17I've been given a date for my party.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19My dinner at the FO.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Oh, at last. That's terrific.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23It's only just occurred to me

0:10:23 > 0:10:25- I don't know why I didn't think of it before -

0:10:25 > 0:10:29but Alex - he's not involved, is he?

0:10:29 > 0:10:31No. No, not Alex.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34But there are people here who were very involved.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37INAUDIBLE

0:10:38 > 0:10:39APPLAUSE

0:10:42 > 0:10:44I knew he'd be good!

0:10:46 > 0:10:48The German is getting married.

0:10:48 > 0:10:53The German is getting married. The German is getting married.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56What is it, Victor? Don't you start working yourself up.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59The German is getting married. It's not right.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02It's not right that he's getting married. It's not right.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04The German is getting married.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08That's the way, Lombard!

0:11:09 > 0:11:10Good show, Alex.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14It's amazing. I think he's going to score 100 runs.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16I hope he's not trying to prove something to us,

0:11:16 > 0:11:18because he knows I can't play cricket.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20So there IS something you can't do!

0:11:23 > 0:11:26Alex is going back to Washington for a few weeks on Saturday.

0:11:26 > 0:11:27He is?

0:11:29 > 0:11:33You know, he is definitely batting as if he knows something about us.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35He doesn't know. I'd be able to tell if he did.

0:11:37 > 0:11:38Good shot.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41I thought maybe we could go away somewhere.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44- As a last sort of... - Last? Why last?

0:11:44 > 0:11:46Because if we don't stop, he will find out,

0:11:46 > 0:11:49and I don't want that, not at all. CALLUM SCOFFS

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Don't argue with me, Callum.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Very soon, you and I will have to start new lives,

0:11:53 > 0:11:54very different to this.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58We can't keep putting it off.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08Now, Victor, it is way past bedtime.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Time for you... - The German is getting married.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Victor!

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Really!

0:12:22 > 0:12:24I'm sorry.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27I shouldn't have done that.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30I am so very sorry.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38You've got a picture up of the bastard, I see.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Captain Ferguson! Yes, I have.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43I like to have photographs of all my targets.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45So how is your drinking companion?

0:12:46 > 0:12:48The torturer?

0:12:48 > 0:12:50She's still very quiet.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Sometimes, it seems I'm making progress, but I'm not really.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Maybe it's because I can't stop myself

0:12:55 > 0:12:57thinking about what she's done.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Time is running out. The trial is very soon.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Have you thought about taking her home for a meal?

0:13:04 > 0:13:08No, I haven't thought about that, surprisingly!

0:13:08 > 0:13:10It's not a good idea. Cooking is not my strong suit.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13She's not going to be thinking about your cooking.

0:13:13 > 0:13:14Well, anyway, it's just a thought.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Are you OK? Why are you wearing gloves?

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Because they won't let us wear anything with our pyjamas,

0:13:35 > 0:13:37unless we say we're cold.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Of course, I'm boiling now!

0:13:39 > 0:13:42I know where they keep the clothes hidden, though.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45Victor, the German is having his party this evening

0:13:45 > 0:13:47to celebrate his engagement to Anna,

0:13:47 > 0:13:49- and I am going to have to go. - No.

0:13:49 > 0:13:50So I want you to know...

0:13:50 > 0:13:53It's not right, Callum, that he should have a lovely new life.

0:13:53 > 0:13:57I want you to know that I've now had his records checked in Germany,

0:13:57 > 0:13:58and there is no evidence of war crimes.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02Well, they haven't looked. You haven't looked.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04You must stop worrying about this, Victor.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13I "borrowed" one of the cakes

0:14:13 > 0:14:16they've made for the party this evening.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20It's not too early for cake today, is it?

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Well, looking at that, I think I can certainly make an exception.

0:14:23 > 0:14:27Now, let's see what an RAF cake tastes like.

0:14:32 > 0:14:33Mm.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Tell me, Mr Lindsay-Jones, why are you helping the policeman?

0:14:38 > 0:14:39Because I like him.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42And because he did me a very big favour.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Yes. I see.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48Because of the war, we all have to conceal our real reasons, don't we?

0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Just in case. - That's very true.

0:14:53 > 0:14:54True of me, anyway.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00MAN SPLUTTERS

0:15:04 > 0:15:06Kate, quickly!

0:15:10 > 0:15:11Fetch help!

0:15:11 > 0:15:13MAN GROANS AND SHOUTS

0:16:06 > 0:16:08TRUMPET PLAYS

0:16:16 > 0:16:18KNOCK AT DOOR

0:16:25 > 0:16:28I'll be right outside in the car, Miss Griffiths, with the driver,

0:16:28 > 0:16:30all the time, in case you need me.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52CORK POPS

0:16:52 > 0:16:53GLASSES CLINK

0:17:08 > 0:17:09Been waiting for me, Bella?

0:17:09 > 0:17:13It's lucky Mrs Tooley keeps the spare key in the same place.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16- DOG GROWLS - Shh.

0:17:16 > 0:17:17- DOG WHIMPERS - Shh.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26You look at me all the time.

0:17:27 > 0:17:28Those little looks.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Do I?

0:17:32 > 0:17:33I'm sorry.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35What if I did that to you?

0:17:35 > 0:17:38You're quite right. Forgive me.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45The food is good. Let's just eat the food.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Your dad has surprised us all, honey.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59And I think it's wonderful.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Everybody coming together.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07That's the way it should be.

0:18:16 > 0:18:17INAUDIBLE

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Tomorrow, we'll go?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Yes, we will.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30KNOCK AT DOOR

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Government? Best come in, sir.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Thank you. - May I take your hat?

0:18:35 > 0:18:37No, no, that's quite all right, thank you.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40I thought Mr Ferguson was meant to be in hospital, but now he's here.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42Nobody called me.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Victor?

0:18:58 > 0:19:01I'm Geoffrey Salter. I'm a colleague of your brother's.

0:19:03 > 0:19:04Mr Salter.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09Ah, yes, he doesn't like you.

0:19:09 > 0:19:10I'm sure that's true.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15On the other hand, I am surprisingly fond of your brother.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17And that is why I'm here.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21You're here because you like my brother?

0:19:22 > 0:19:24I don't think so.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27I know a lot about your brother.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Everything there is to know, in fact.

0:19:29 > 0:19:34And whatever else you say about him, he is a patriot.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37That is why I like him, and that is why I am here.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40You will have to explain that to me.

0:19:40 > 0:19:44You've taken some files that don't belong to you, Victor,

0:19:44 > 0:19:46which Miss Griffiths now has.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49You have also escaped from the psychiatric ward,

0:19:49 > 0:19:52where you were being held for your own safety.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56Yes.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Yes, I am surprised that they haven't come to look for me yet.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Unless you... - No.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05No, that's not my business.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08In fact, I want to give you the chance to consider

0:20:08 > 0:20:11what I have to say all on your own.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17Victor, you have gone round boasting you will tell the world

0:20:17 > 0:20:21about what's happening to the ex-Nazis who are helping us,

0:20:35 > 0:20:37It will make all our lives more difficult.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42But shall I tell you what it really means?

0:20:42 > 0:20:47It will destroy your brother, his career, his prospects,

0:20:47 > 0:20:49even endanger his life,

0:20:49 > 0:20:52for failing to control you.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56And if that happens...

0:21:03 > 0:21:06- I couldn't...? - Yes?

0:21:06 > 0:21:07I couldn't stay a little longer?

0:23:51 > 0:23:52None at all.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56It's bad enough that you've chosen a hotel so close to the base.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02'Are you at the hospital?'

0:26:02 > 0:26:05No, I couldn't stay, there was this nurse, and I did something wrong.

0:26:05 > 0:26:09Anyway, I've done worse things. Bad things.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13I know I shouldn't have said what I did about your work,

0:26:13 > 0:26:15so you must forgive me.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17Victor, what is this? Where are you?

0:26:17 > 0:26:21I found some evidence. The real evidence now.

0:26:21 > 0:26:25You must read it. It was all true, about Dieter, what I said!

0:26:25 > 0:26:27'And I knew it was, but anyway, that doesn't matter now...'

0:26:27 > 0:26:30Victor, you must tell me exactly where you are.

0:26:30 > 0:26:31All right? I'll come and find you.

0:26:31 > 0:26:36No, no, no. They came to see me. No, they wouldn't like that.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39Cal, I know that I have done the wrong thing, OK?

0:26:39 > 0:26:42And I am not worth it. I'm really not....

0:26:42 > 0:26:45I'm not worth destroying everything for you.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Who came to see you?

0:26:47 > 0:26:49If they've threatened you, I will kill them.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52I will fucking kill them. Now, where are you?!

0:27:01 > 0:27:03it's the car to steal, don't you think?

0:27:03 > 0:27:05It's a great car! Erm...

0:27:10 > 0:27:14'Whatever you do, all right, you don't move. I'm coming to get you.'

0:27:14 > 0:27:18Better you don't, Cal. I don't need you to come.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20All right, I AM coming to get you.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23You have to stay exactly where you are.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08Two things, actually.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11It took a lot of coupons, but here's another, rather smaller,

0:35:11 > 0:35:12bar of chocolate.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21It's rather silly, but I brought it anyway.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43who I found out about because of the files.

0:35:53 > 0:35:54Oh, no, don't go, please!

0:35:54 > 0:35:57No, no, it's a long journey. I ought to go.

0:36:04 > 0:36:06You made her run away.

0:36:06 > 0:36:07So aren't you going to give me an answer?

0:36:07 > 0:36:09Why do you even ask?

0:36:09 > 0:36:10Because I know my brother.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13This is not the place, Victor.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16That's a very disappointing reply. I thought we were friends.

0:36:16 > 0:36:17We are friends.

0:36:17 > 0:36:21Well, whether you are or you aren't in love with each other,

0:36:21 > 0:36:24you must promise me that you'll keep a close eye on him.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27He blames the Secret Service for me being like this,

0:36:27 > 0:36:31and he may try to take certain actions because of that.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33What kind of actions?

0:36:33 > 0:36:36You must remember the war messed him up just as much as it did me.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38- Maybe more. - Who's messed up?

0:36:38 > 0:36:42Me, of course. It's always me!

0:36:42 > 0:36:43So, what was he saying to you?

0:36:43 > 0:36:46That you're as much scarred by the war as he is.

0:36:46 > 0:36:47- Well, that's rubbish. - Is it?

0:42:03 > 0:42:06It's Harold's party at the Foreign Office,

0:42:06 > 0:42:09and then your wedding at the end of the week.

0:42:09 > 0:42:13That's two occasions I couldn't possibly miss.

0:42:21 > 0:42:22Harold, you're all dressed up!

0:42:22 > 0:42:25I am. Thank you for letting me do this.

0:42:25 > 0:42:28Well, it's not going to be possible soon. They're moving out.

0:42:52 > 0:42:55All being well, they've stopped using this for training.

0:42:55 > 0:42:56Sniper training.

0:43:00 > 0:43:02- SHOUTING:- Anybody up there?

0:43:02 > 0:43:06Well, that's one way of getting rid of my nerves for tomorrow.

0:43:06 > 0:43:08A bullet between the eyes!

0:43:08 > 0:43:10How nervous are you?

0:43:10 > 0:43:11Fairly terrified.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14A room completely packed with people I know,

0:43:14 > 0:43:16and I'll be attacking them all.

0:43:17 > 0:43:18I came here to get some strength.

0:43:19 > 0:43:22Well, we both might need some strength, in fact.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25You as well? Why? What are you planning?

0:43:25 > 0:43:27I can't tell you that.

0:43:27 > 0:43:30This place is very important to me. Not just because it was

0:43:30 > 0:43:33the last time I ever went to a party with my wife, but...

0:43:35 > 0:43:37..I keep coming back here in my dreams.

0:43:40 > 0:43:42Almost every night recently.

0:43:57 > 0:43:58There was beauty.

0:44:04 > 0:44:06And a terrible ignorance.

0:44:07 > 0:44:09Our complacency seems so shocking now.

0:44:11 > 0:44:13ENGINE REVS

0:44:16 > 0:44:19And the extraordinary mistakes that nobody has owned up to.

0:44:19 > 0:44:22Oh, I know!

0:44:22 > 0:44:25Like letting the bloody jet engine go!

0:44:25 > 0:44:28And I was there. You know, I was working on it before the war,

0:44:28 > 0:44:32when Mr Whittle needed just £5 to renew his patent.

0:44:33 > 0:44:35Just five pounds.

0:44:37 > 0:44:40But he couldn't afford it, and the Government wouldn't give it to him,

0:44:40 > 0:44:44wouldn't give him five fucking pounds, and we lost the jet engine!

0:44:46 > 0:44:49What a p... What a price we paid for that!

0:44:49 > 0:44:52It's unbelievable, the incompetent bastards,

0:44:52 > 0:44:54just like your incompetent bastards

0:44:54 > 0:44:56that failed to back the coup against Hitler,

0:44:56 > 0:44:59that could have prevented the entire fucking war!

0:45:01 > 0:45:02Well, their time has come.

0:45:05 > 0:45:08We are their nemesis, Harold.

0:45:08 > 0:45:09Let's hope so.

0:45:11 > 0:45:13They've certainly gone unpunished so far.

0:45:15 > 0:45:17And you'll manage fine tomorrow.

0:45:22 > 0:45:23DOOR OPENS

0:45:23 > 0:45:25So there you are!

0:45:25 > 0:45:26Here I am, yes.

0:45:27 > 0:45:29I've been neglectful, and I'm sorry.

0:45:29 > 0:45:32Don't be stupid. Your brother has been very ill -

0:45:32 > 0:45:34of course you've had better things to do.

0:45:34 > 0:45:36I just wanted to know how he is.

0:45:36 > 0:45:38He's getting better.

0:45:38 > 0:45:41His wounds are healing, but he's lost a lot of blood.

0:45:41 > 0:45:42What really happened to him?

0:45:43 > 0:45:46Well, I'm not sure of the facts,

0:45:46 > 0:45:48but whatever it was, it was caused by him being

0:45:48 > 0:45:51put under terrible pressure by a member of the Secret Service.

0:45:51 > 0:45:53Why would they do that?

0:45:53 > 0:45:55I'm sorry, I'm asking a lot of questions.

0:45:56 > 0:45:58No, that's OK.

0:45:59 > 0:46:02Because he was proving a nuisance.

0:46:03 > 0:46:06Of course, their actions have to be answered.

0:46:06 > 0:46:08How? I'm sorry, I'm doing it again.

0:46:10 > 0:46:13I don't know why I think I have a right to know, because I don't.

0:46:13 > 0:46:15I only met him for a couple of minutes.

0:46:15 > 0:46:18That's all Victor needs to make an impression.

0:46:19 > 0:46:20I have a plan...

0:46:22 > 0:46:25..but for the moment, it's... It's private.

0:46:25 > 0:46:28Of course. Quite right.

0:46:29 > 0:46:34I was going to suggest I gave you the formula today,

0:46:34 > 0:46:38and sign the papers. But, clearly, this is not the right moment,

0:46:38 > 0:46:40when you have so much on your mind.

0:46:40 > 0:46:43I have a little on my mind, yes.

0:46:43 > 0:46:44HUM OF CONVERSATION

0:46:54 > 0:46:56Callum, I'm here!

0:46:56 > 0:46:59I made it back from Washington just in time.

0:46:59 > 0:47:01I wasn't going to miss this - Harold being honoured.

0:47:01 > 0:47:04- It's going to be a splendid night! - It is.

0:47:04 > 0:47:06Oh, rare sighting of the chief.

0:47:06 > 0:47:08- Do excuse me. - Of course.

0:47:12 > 0:47:15So, he's back.

0:47:15 > 0:47:18Yes. For quite a while, anyway.

0:47:18 > 0:47:20So that really was our last time together?

0:47:20 > 0:47:23Callum, I hardly think that this is the place.

0:47:24 > 0:47:27It's fine. It doesn't matter anyway.

0:47:28 > 0:47:31I have other plans.

0:47:31 > 0:47:33What's that mean?

0:47:33 > 0:47:34It means exactly that.

0:47:43 > 0:47:46Just thought I'd fortify myself. Though, oddly enough,

0:47:46 > 0:47:50I find I'm quite calm, and really rather excited.

0:47:51 > 0:47:52My journalist friend.

0:47:52 > 0:47:55Even he doesn't know what's coming.

0:47:55 > 0:47:58I'm going to tell the truth about the coup against Hitler

0:47:58 > 0:48:01that never happened, and they have no idea.

0:48:02 > 0:48:05Well, remember, no oysters before the speech, Harold.

0:48:05 > 0:48:06Oh, certainly not.

0:48:07 > 0:48:09I will be oyster free.

0:48:11 > 0:48:15Ladies and gentlemen,

0:48:15 > 0:48:18it's long overdue, of course, that we're all gathered here

0:48:18 > 0:48:22to honour Harold Lindsay-Jones and his many years of service,

0:48:22 > 0:48:25but now that we are finally here, we're doing it in

0:48:25 > 0:48:29exactly the way Harold wants, which is totally appropriate.

0:48:29 > 0:48:33At his favourite place in the world, his beloved club,

0:48:33 > 0:48:35and having the speeches before the dinner,

0:48:35 > 0:48:38rather than after as is customary,

0:48:38 > 0:48:41because Harold says he wanted all the suspense out of the way.

0:48:41 > 0:48:43LAUGHTER

0:48:43 > 0:48:46Now, of course, Harold was famous to all of us for knowing exactly

0:48:46 > 0:48:49what people were thinking, even the most inscrutable

0:48:49 > 0:48:52- the French, the Americans, above all, the Germans -

0:48:52 > 0:48:56he invariably had an insight into other people's minds,

0:48:56 > 0:48:59which makes tonight a little alarming.

0:48:59 > 0:49:02Does he know what we're all thinking now?

0:49:02 > 0:49:05LAUGHTER

0:49:05 > 0:49:11Well, if he does, he will know that we're full of admiration,

0:49:11 > 0:49:15and gratitude, and, of course, friendship.

0:49:15 > 0:49:18So, now, Harold, I'm going to hand over to you.

0:49:18 > 0:49:20APPLAUSE

0:49:27 > 0:49:30- FEEDBACK - Ah, it's working,

0:49:30 > 0:49:32so that's a very good start!

0:49:32 > 0:49:37My friends, this is a very important moment for me,

0:49:37 > 0:49:42in all sorts of ways, and you'll forgive me, because,

0:49:42 > 0:49:45to help me through these nervous opening moments,

0:49:45 > 0:49:48I've brought along a couple of props.

0:49:48 > 0:49:51A golden box, with a couple of little stories in it,

0:49:51 > 0:49:55and first out is this.

0:49:55 > 0:49:58A scrap of paper. And what is it?

0:49:59 > 0:50:02It's a film review, written by Winston Churchill,

0:50:02 > 0:50:05of Mr Orson Welles' Citizen Kane,

0:50:05 > 0:50:09and it is exceedingly short. But let me paint the picture.

0:50:09 > 0:50:13- MUFFLED:- There was a film show, almost every night...

0:50:14 > 0:50:15I'm sorry I'm so late.

0:50:15 > 0:50:17I'm here for the gala dinner for Mr Lindsay-Jones.

0:50:17 > 0:50:18Your name?

0:50:18 > 0:50:21It's Lucy Lindsay-Jones. I'm his niece.

0:50:22 > 0:50:23Please hurry.

0:50:24 > 0:50:26Please, hurry!

0:50:27 > 0:50:28Your name's not here.

0:50:28 > 0:50:32What do you mean? It's got to be there.

0:50:32 > 0:50:34I can't miss it. You've got to let me in.

0:50:34 > 0:50:37Your name is not here, and, therefore, I cannot let you in.

0:50:37 > 0:50:40"Rubbish, rubbish, bloody rubbish."

0:50:40 > 0:50:41LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:50:48 > 0:50:53Winston may have been no film critic, but what a man to work for!

0:50:53 > 0:50:55- Hear, hear. - Glorious!

0:50:55 > 0:50:57He would stomp along the corridors of Chequers at night,

0:50:57 > 0:51:03yelling "This unnecessary war! This completely unnecessary war!'

0:51:03 > 0:51:06But more of that in a moment.

0:51:06 > 0:51:10And that brings me to my second exhibit -

0:51:10 > 0:51:12this key.

0:51:12 > 0:51:16Lord Halifax, our old boss - his private key.

0:51:17 > 0:51:21Now, by the way, he's completely relaxed about me telling you this.

0:51:21 > 0:51:23This key was given to him by the Queen,

0:51:23 > 0:51:25to the garden at Buckingham Palace.

0:51:26 > 0:51:28Miss!

0:51:28 > 0:51:29This key opened a special door,

0:51:29 > 0:51:33which let him use the lovely summer house whenever he wanted.

0:51:33 > 0:51:37A place for him to retreat to in those terrifying days

0:51:37 > 0:51:39after the invasion of Norway,

0:51:39 > 0:51:43when we all thought he would become Prime Minister.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45How did I end up with this key?

0:51:45 > 0:51:48It was a gift from His Lordship, because it doesn't work any more.

0:51:48 > 0:51:50LAUGHTER

0:51:50 > 0:51:54A memento of that extraordinary time, when we were all

0:51:54 > 0:51:57holding our breath to see who would become the next Prime Minister.

0:51:57 > 0:52:00When so many of us at the Foreign Office,

0:52:00 > 0:52:04myself included, I must admit, were saying "Don't let it be Churchill!

0:52:05 > 0:52:09"Please, whatever happens, let it not be Winston,"

0:52:09 > 0:52:11until we got to know him.

0:52:11 > 0:52:12Lucy, there you are.

0:52:12 > 0:52:15- They won't let me in! - That's ridiculous.

0:52:15 > 0:52:17Her uncle, who also happens to be her guardian,

0:52:17 > 0:52:20is making a very important speech. She can't possibly miss that.

0:52:20 > 0:52:22You will let her in immediately.

0:52:22 > 0:52:24And that brings me to the heart of what I want to say.

0:52:27 > 0:52:28We fought that "unnecessary war".

0:52:30 > 0:52:33What did Churchill mean by that?

0:52:33 > 0:52:35How was it "unnecessary"?

0:52:35 > 0:52:38He meant, of course, there were opportunities,

0:52:38 > 0:52:40in the events leading up to the war,

0:52:40 > 0:52:43when different decisions could have been made.

0:52:43 > 0:52:46When war itself might have been prevented.

0:52:46 > 0:52:49And we all know there were moments like that.

0:52:49 > 0:52:51Some better known than others.

0:52:52 > 0:52:54Some still...

0:53:05 > 0:53:07Some still to be uncovered.

0:53:21 > 0:53:23But in the end,

0:53:23 > 0:53:26we all did what we had to.

0:53:26 > 0:53:30We went on a momentous and startling journey together,

0:53:30 > 0:53:33terrifying, sometimes exhilarating,

0:53:33 > 0:53:34sometimes tragic.

0:53:37 > 0:53:40And I want to thank you all for your tremendous support

0:53:40 > 0:53:44during that time, and for this marvellous dinner tonight.

0:53:45 > 0:53:49Thank you to all of you. Thank you very much.

0:53:49 > 0:53:52APPLAUSE

0:54:25 > 0:54:28You're looking much better, Victor.

0:54:28 > 0:54:31They've sent for some brain doctors, to interrogate me.

0:54:31 > 0:54:33An inquisition!

0:54:33 > 0:54:36And, if I pass, if they conclude I'm not a lunatic,

0:54:36 > 0:54:38then I might be free to go soon.

0:54:39 > 0:54:40Well, that's tremendous.

0:54:40 > 0:54:43Well, if they don't lock me up for stealing the Rolls.

0:54:43 > 0:54:45And how are you?

0:54:45 > 0:54:48Have you got the girl in the green coat to agree to give evidence yet?

0:54:48 > 0:54:50The Green Torturer?

0:54:51 > 0:54:53No, not yet.

0:54:53 > 0:54:55I've tried everything I can think of,

0:54:55 > 0:54:57and everything Callum suggested as well.

0:54:57 > 0:54:59Well, take her to your favourite place in the world.

0:54:59 > 0:55:02Or in London, at any rate. Your special place.

0:55:04 > 0:55:07- I don't have a favourite place. - Well, you ought to.

0:55:07 > 0:55:10Mine's a bombed church called St Mildred's.

0:55:12 > 0:55:15- I'll think about it. - Be even bolder than Callum, Kathy.

0:55:16 > 0:55:20He is a genius, of course, at making the enemy feel at home,

0:55:20 > 0:55:23but he's not nearly so good at looking after himself.

0:55:23 > 0:55:26He thinks he's in control all the time, but he isn't.

0:55:26 > 0:55:28I'm really quite worried about him.

0:55:28 > 0:55:30The last person that needs worrying about is Callum!

0:55:54 > 0:55:56Your brother's right - we underestimate chickens.

0:55:56 > 0:55:59They can be quite formidable, when they choose.

0:55:59 > 0:56:02To chicken out of something - that's an unfair expression.

0:56:02 > 0:56:04Unfair on them.

0:56:04 > 0:56:05I'm sure it is.

0:56:07 > 0:56:09I am so very sorry, Callum.

0:56:09 > 0:56:10You can do it again.

0:56:11 > 0:56:13It doesn't have to be at your farewell party.

0:56:13 > 0:56:15We could find an easier moment.

0:56:15 > 0:56:17You didn't read this document, did you?

0:56:17 > 0:56:19The one you "borrowed" from the Foreign Office.

0:56:19 > 0:56:21The memo of that crucial meeting.

0:56:21 > 0:56:22I didn't read it, no.

0:56:23 > 0:56:25I just glanced at it.

0:56:25 > 0:56:27Then you missed the most vital thing, then, didn't you?

0:56:27 > 0:56:30I was going use it to put it under their eggs in the hut there,

0:56:30 > 0:56:33but before I do, take a look at the top.

0:56:34 > 0:56:36Where it says who was present at that meeting.

0:56:56 > 0:56:59It was me that told them not to do anything.

0:56:59 > 0:57:02It was my advice that meant we didn't back the coup against Hitler.

0:57:02 > 0:57:04Not just me, of course, but I was,

0:57:04 > 0:57:07"the man who knew what foreigners were thinking".

0:57:07 > 0:57:09My contribution was crucial.

0:57:09 > 0:57:11So this whole plan...?

0:57:12 > 0:57:14You just wanted to get hold of the file...

0:57:14 > 0:57:16To cover up my tracks, yes.

0:57:16 > 0:57:19So people wouldn't know about the biggest mistake of my life.

0:57:19 > 0:57:24That it was my advice that these senior, well-intentioned Germans

0:57:24 > 0:57:25were not serious people.

0:57:26 > 0:57:28Posterity would never know it was me.

0:57:30 > 0:57:33That was my initial idea, Callum - to bury the truth.

0:57:35 > 0:57:36I see.

0:57:36 > 0:57:37Then...

0:57:39 > 0:57:41..over the last few months, as I got to know you well,

0:57:41 > 0:57:44you encouraged me, you made me bolder.

0:57:45 > 0:57:48I decided I was going to make the whole thing public.

0:57:48 > 0:57:51My contribution, the dramatic failure of the Foreign Office

0:57:51 > 0:57:54to seize the chance, the whole story.

0:57:54 > 0:57:55I really meant to.

0:57:57 > 0:57:59I just wasn't brave enough.

0:58:02 > 0:58:04And seeing Lucy there especially.

0:58:04 > 0:58:06I thought she was away visiting friends.

0:58:06 > 0:58:08I didn't expect her to come.

0:58:10 > 0:58:12And all those faces looking at me.

0:58:16 > 0:58:17I was afraid.

0:58:20 > 0:58:24I hate to think what you must feel about me, Callum.

0:58:24 > 0:58:26Don't worry yourself so much, Harold.

0:58:28 > 0:58:29That still leaves me.

0:58:30 > 0:58:31I can do something.

0:58:46 > 0:58:49Ah, we're back staying here, my friend, and two days early!

0:58:49 > 0:58:51But there's the rehearsal tomorrow,

0:58:51 > 0:58:54and, of course, we wanted to make sure to be on time for the ceremony.

0:58:54 > 0:58:56And to see the hotel again.

0:58:56 > 0:58:58Yes, she's grown to love it here.

0:58:58 > 0:59:01I promised she could play outside for once, on the bombsite.

0:59:01 > 0:59:03Meanwhile, I'm continuing to work right up to the last minute.

0:59:03 > 0:59:05Gentlemen.
