0:00:45 > 0:00:47Why did they murder him?
0:00:47 > 0:00:48I don't know.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07..it's very expensive because the people, we...
0:08:09 > 0:08:12..don't know that we are...escorts.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29'They told me to be like you.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32'They told me to act like you.'
0:09:35 > 0:09:38In the end, Alex wasn't so tricky.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41He just needed to believe...
0:09:42 > 0:09:43..he was being good
0:09:44 > 0:09:47..all the way up until he was being...
0:09:47 > 0:09:49a little bit bad.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54How do you seduce a good man?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57'My approach was simple.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59'I told him a sad story.'
0:09:59 > 0:10:04I tell him it's the will and last testament of my mother.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07And my mother, she never loved me, bitch.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11In her will, the bitch leaves just three things to me.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Just three paintings. That's all.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17And Alex, listening like a puppy dog.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19And I tell him, heartbroken...
0:10:20 > 0:10:23..they are the three paintings I painted for her.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I'm an artist, I say...
0:10:25 > 0:10:29No, not yet an artist,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- aspiring to be.- Pretending to be.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35That's a true story.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36I am an artist.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37What?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43What do you think? I grew up wanting to be an escort?
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Enough, Danny.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Enough with not believing.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51What do you need?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I'll give it to you? Hmm?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56You need those little details?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59A birthmark on the inside of his thigh?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Something whispered?
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Something moaned?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07He had a thirst, I can tell you that.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Like a man crawling out of the desert.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Yeah?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Throat dry.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Lips dry.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Gulping up all those missed years.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Where?
0:11:26 > 0:11:27My place.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Your place?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32My fake place.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Why did he come round?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36To see my paintings, of course.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43What did you do?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47'You hate yourself for asking.'
0:11:47 > 0:11:49So... 'But you had to know.'
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I'll be right back, OK? Give me a second.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52'You had to ask...
0:11:52 > 0:11:54'what did we do?'
0:11:56 > 0:11:57We played a game.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01How long can we talk without mentioning
0:12:01 > 0:12:03the only thing we were both thinking about?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08The first game lasted an hour.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11The second game...
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- ..lasted a little longer... - ALEX PANTS
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I rang him afterwards,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34but he didn't answer.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36The client wanted more.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39But Alex wasn't interested.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Why wouldn't you tell me that he kept coming back?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Because I can see you're good at sniffing a lie.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48So, I told you the truth.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Why did they hire you?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I don't know, I don't care.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54It's just a job.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57He's dead.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Your job. He was murdered.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03You think you're not involved?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Because you seem like a loose end to me.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I was told to pay for our dinner.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Hey?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21How else are you going to let them know what a great job you did?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I can see strings on you too.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44What are you thinking?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Say it again.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57What are you thinking?
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Nothing.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25You were Alex's first experience of love.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28If he enjoyed a second, would you seem less important?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Could the thrill of the new replace the comfort of the old?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Watergate wasn't just about bugging the opposition.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43They used prostitutes to collect information on rival candidates
0:14:43 > 0:14:48to shame them, manipulate them, destroy them.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Sex has always been a means of control.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55In the end, your relationship became a threat
0:14:55 > 0:14:58to their relationship with him.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00He changed you, you changed him,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03priorities altered, loyalties altered.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I noticed it in our friendship.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09The two of you were besotted.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13The rest of the world ceased to exist,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16but Alex was one of their most important minds.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Did you imagine they'd just allow him to drift away?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23I didn't think about it.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25It's all THEY would've thought about.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29What binds this brilliant young man to us?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31The Queen? Our history? His parents?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39I accept that I didn't know anything about his...work.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41His job.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46The truth is, I didn't really know him as a person either.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49I didn't know him.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Of all the attacks they've used, including your health,
0:15:56 > 0:16:00the one that has proved most effective is smut.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01For you, of all people.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05He made a mistake, that's not it.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08But why didn't he tell me?
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Some of it? Any of it?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Because you wanted him to be perfect.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17He saw that more clearly than you.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23It was his funeral last week.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Do you know how I found out?
0:16:26 > 0:16:27I heard about it on the news.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34He was buried at a private ceremony for...close friends and family.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I can't count how many men I've comforted
0:16:37 > 0:16:40when their partners were dying
0:16:40 > 0:16:43and the family wouldn't allow them into the hospital,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46or the church where they're buried.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I'm tired of it...
0:16:49 > 0:16:51tired of hearing about it.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55He wasn't close to his parents, he was close to you.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Hold your own funeral, say your own goodbye.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02That's what I should be doing.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Saying goodbye.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16What am I doing all this other stuff for?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Because Alex discovered some government secret? So what?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Cos they lied about a war?
0:17:24 > 0:17:28They spy on us? Who..? What's it got to do with me?
0:17:37 > 0:17:41And you know, I don't know any code. I don't.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49'So, I don't know...'
0:17:50 > 0:17:55Maybe, whatever those secrets are, maybe they weren't meant for me.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Then, that's that.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45DISTANT SEAGULLS
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Do you believe in soul mates?
0:19:09 > 0:19:10No.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Not only do I not believe in them...
0:19:17 > 0:19:19..it's not even a nice idea.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Not a nice idea?
0:19:22 > 0:19:26That there's only just one other person out there for you.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30What are the odds this person would be in the same country?
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Or the same city?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33That their paths would even cross?
0:19:33 > 0:19:37It would mean almost everyone in the world is with the wrong person.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42If it's a way of saying, "we're good together", why not just say...
0:19:42 > 0:19:43"we're good together"?
0:19:45 > 0:19:46But if you mean it literally...
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- You think there are better people out there for you?- There might be.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53For both of us.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59But since we don't know them, it's just a theoretical.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Yes. It's...
0:20:02 > 0:20:04a sentimental idea.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09The maths doesn't add up.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12But...
0:20:12 > 0:20:15we're by the fire, we're under a night sky.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Couldn't you just have said "yes"?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Is that what your soul mate would've done?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Can it be opened?
0:22:50 > 0:22:51If you know the code.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10This is us.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Oh, I've done a lot of things with a lot of different people and...
0:24:06 > 0:24:08that's part of the reason I'm sure...
0:24:08 > 0:24:11that we're something special.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13But, for you, it...
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I don't want you to stay with me just because I'm the first.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25So, you should see other people.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26You should.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- I don't want to.- I only meant... - I don't need to.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43..that there's only just one other person out there for you.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13A place.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21I was remembering...
0:27:22 > 0:27:24..a place.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Right, we need to get you to the hospital.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Will you just listen to me, for once, Danny?!
0:27:37 > 0:27:40You were remembering...a place.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58A place where no-one cares.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19Pathetic.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25Thank you.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34My parents used to chide me.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36"You were such a happy child."
0:28:39 > 0:28:40How long?
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Like this?
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Three weeks.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51Worse and worse each day.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Now as bad as it's ever been.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03It can't be coincidence, can it?
0:29:03 > 0:29:0630 years I've been OK and, now, like this?

0:29:13 > 0:29:15suddenly suffer a relapse?
0:29:16 > 0:29:17For no reason?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23This is what we're going to do.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25We'll get new pills.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Real pills from a different doctor.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31You can keep them on you at all...
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Unless they switch them before they give them to you.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37I'll get them illegally.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41I know someone. He can get anything.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49On your shell.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53Until they find a crack.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57A frailty.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01A vulnerability.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04No matter how small.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09And then they pick away.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18How do you kill an alcoholic?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22With alcohol.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23How do you kill a drug addict?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26With drugs.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28How do you kill a depressive?
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Where'd you get them?
0:30:33 > 0:30:36People tell the doctor whatever story,
0:30:36 > 0:30:38collect a prescription, sell it to me.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42They're good. It's all good. Always good from me.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Do you want something else?
0:30:45 > 0:30:46No.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Nothing else.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58Thank you.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Have you examined the contents?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42We're going to need help.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45With help comes risk.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50The more people you involve...
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Look what they've done to us.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56That was before they knew we had this.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03I can do this alone.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12There are rumours.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16About how the...Kremlin
0:32:16 > 0:32:19guarantees the loyalty of its most important citizens.
0:32:21 > 0:32:26Under the pretext of celebrating an election to the State Duma,
0:32:26 > 0:32:32the individual is treated to the finest meal Moscow has to offer.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35At some point during that night...
0:32:36 > 0:32:38..this prized individual blacks out...
0:32:39 > 0:32:41..waking in a hotel suite,
0:32:41 > 0:32:45on a bed, beside a terrified naked child.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51Before he can say anything, the FSB storm the room, arrest him,
0:32:51 > 0:32:55and take him to an interrogation cell in Moscow's Butyrka prison,
0:32:55 > 0:32:58where the individual swears he is not a paedophile.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01"My drink must have been spiked!"
0:33:01 > 0:33:04"I, I've been framed by my enemies!" He doesn't know.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06He can't explain. "But it is a mistake!"
0:33:07 > 0:33:10And, to his surprise...
0:33:10 > 0:33:13the FSB officer agrees that it is a mistake,
0:33:13 > 0:33:17but it is a mistake they will hold on record forever,
0:33:17 > 0:33:20a mistake no-one will ever see, unless...
0:33:20 > 0:33:24the individual makes a mistake of a political kind.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27And, with that, the man's choice is clear -
0:33:27 > 0:33:29privilege or disgrace.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Destruction or survival.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34The FSB officer believes he's won.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36The individual believes he's lost.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38But those systems of oppression...
0:33:40 > 0:33:43..as ruthless as they appear,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45as unbeatable as they seem, never hold,
0:33:45 > 0:33:48never last, never survive,
0:33:48 > 0:33:50for we will not live in fear.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57I would like to finish this particular adventure with you,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Daniel Edward Holt.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01If you'll have me.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08We're being watched.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10We will be followed.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14So we separate.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Shake them off.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19And meet up at a place...
0:34:19 > 0:34:22where no-one can follow us without revealing themselves.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57The place where no-one cares?
0:35:00 > 0:35:04I've always taken comfort from the idea that people don't care.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06That they have better things to think about,
0:35:06 > 0:35:09that there are more important matters to worry about.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12I like it when people walk past me
0:35:12 > 0:35:16and couldn't care less what I'm wearing, or whose hand I'm holding.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19The place where no-one cares.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22When I was young, I spent a lot of time searching for it,
0:35:22 > 0:35:25and I promised myself, if I ever found it,
0:35:25 > 0:35:28if it ever existed, that's where I'd make my home.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04What do you think?
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Ambition.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10But no conviction.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16You skip from short stories to lyrics,
0:36:16 > 0:36:18from poems to sketches,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20hoping the world will tell you who you are.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22You must tell the world.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39There you are.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Well done.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43You weren't followed?
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Well, I hope not.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47So, will Marcus help us?
0:36:48 > 0:36:49He didn't say.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55Keep back,
0:36:55 > 0:36:59and then that gives you your 'B' for 'Baritone'.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02- Oh, I see - no, four, of course. - Yes.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- And that's got...- Where did you two meet?
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Cambridge.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10We shared a flat.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18I was the first person he shared the secret of his sexuality with.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20At that time, it was illegal.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22And there were rumours.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26So, then, I...agreed to play the part of...his lover.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31And we walked around arm in arm, and we...
0:37:31 > 0:37:33had picnics in the scholar's garden and...
0:37:36 > 0:37:39..it was supposed to last about two months or so.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41It lasted two years.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Are you gay?
0:37:45 > 0:37:46No.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Did you see other people?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53No.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55I tried to become the man I was pretending to be.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03You know, I prayed for the right kind of desire?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- A sham romance, you might say.- No.
0:38:11 > 0:38:12No, no.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18We're friends. We have been ever since.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21We can't be sad about that. I refuse to be sad about that.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23It's all very touching.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Marcus...
0:38:28 > 0:38:31This is Danny, Alex's partner. And Scottie.
0:38:31 > 0:38:32Where is it?
0:39:49 > 0:39:50Cheers.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09You didn't know, did you? How smart he was?
0:40:10 > 0:40:11I knew.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12But not really.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17Not in the way you did, no.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23His partner...
0:40:23 > 0:40:26without any appreciation of his intellect.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30Beyond some generalised idea that he was good with numbers.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Love without knowledge.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38Popular culture might depict that as a romantic notion, I suppose.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43He never spoke about his work.
0:40:43 > 0:40:44What did you talk about?
0:40:44 > 0:40:45Everything else.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49I see.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51No, I don't. I don't see at all.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Well, what did you two talk about?
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- Outside of work?- We didn't.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Look, try to understand,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06I was sure,
0:41:06 > 0:41:11absolutely certain that he was going to change the world in some way.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Not my world. THE world.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Can you imagine the enormity of that feeling?
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Being in the company of someone like that?
0:41:27 > 0:41:28We knew different people.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Hmm.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33The man I knew was exceptional.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- The man you knew was not.- The... - Unless you're going to tell me
0:41:36 > 0:41:40how many sugars he took in his tea, or how he liked to be fucked.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Are these the details that define us?
0:41:45 > 0:41:46I think that...
0:41:47 > 0:41:50..being admired is lonely.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52You're right, I'm sure.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55But that was the price he had to pay.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57The ordinary world wasn't for him.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00And his flirtation with it...
0:42:00 > 0:42:02was always going to end badly.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09Professor?
0:42:11 > 0:42:13I miss him, too.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49He did it.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52The 9/11 attackers sent e-mails
0:42:52 > 0:42:55using pre-arranged code words.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58"The Faculty Of Urban Planning" was the World Trade Center.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01The, uh, The Pentagon was "The Faculty Of Fine Arts".
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Mohammed Atta's final message to the other terrorists
0:43:05 > 0:43:08referred to their semesters beginning
0:43:08 > 0:43:12in three weeks at the faculties of Urban Planning and Fine Arts.
0:43:23 > 0:43:24Two e-mails.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29In this one,
0:43:29 > 0:43:31"zoo" means zoo.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34In this one, it means airport.
0:43:34 > 0:43:35How do you tell them apart?
0:43:37 > 0:43:39When...
0:43:39 > 0:43:41people...
0:43:41 > 0:43:43who go to the zoo
0:43:43 > 0:43:45also visit...
0:43:46 > 0:43:47..museums.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51They watch animated movies.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54Buy children's clothes.
0:43:54 > 0:43:58And donate...to animal charities.
0:43:58 > 0:44:03Convert our entire online history into numbers,
0:44:03 > 0:44:05and a visit to the zoo...
0:44:05 > 0:44:08looks...
0:44:08 > 0:44:09like this.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14A coded message looks...
0:44:18 > 0:44:19..like this.
0:44:23 > 0:44:27The 9/11 terrorists used innocent words,
0:44:27 > 0:44:29but they didn't use them like the rest of us.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33We like to think of ourselves as individuals.
0:44:36 > 0:44:37But we're not.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39We're a pattern.
0:44:39 > 0:44:40We are...
0:44:40 > 0:44:42married, gay...
0:44:44 > 0:44:46..straight, professional,
0:44:46 > 0:44:48rich, poor.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53Our online DNA,
0:44:53 > 0:44:56revealing...our true nature...
0:44:57 > 0:44:59..even...
0:44:59 > 0:45:00when we lie.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05I told him he would change the world.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10I just didn't tell him how dangerous it would be.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18Alex decided to apply his concept to speech.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22Words don't occur in isolation.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24They're part of a series of actions.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26Your intake of breath,
0:45:26 > 0:45:30facial gestures, pupil dilation, hand movements.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33Alex theorised they formed patterns,
0:45:33 > 0:45:36and these patterns would be different
0:45:36 > 0:45:38if we were telling the truth or telling a lie.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40A lie detector?
0:45:40 > 0:45:42Important lies are told by important people.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45They'd never consent to a test of any kind.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47Alex didn't need their consent.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49They've already provided all the information.
0:45:49 > 0:45:53The most important people in the world are also the most documented.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56Study every word they've ever spoken.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59Mundane, profound - it doesn't matter.
0:45:59 > 0:46:02Analyse every variable possible.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04Translate that information into numbers,
0:46:04 > 0:46:06and identify the patterns.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08A fingerprint...
0:46:08 > 0:46:11for our truths and our lies.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14We'd be able to analyse every statement.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16Every political claim.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18Er, every case for war.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20Every court case verdict.
0:46:20 > 0:46:21The end of lies.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34If the four of us survive a week,
0:46:34 > 0:46:35I'd be very surprised.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54You're a thoroughly nice guy, aren't you, Danny?
0:46:56 > 0:46:58So was Alex.
0:46:58 > 0:47:01For all his intellect, an innocent, really.
0:47:03 > 0:47:07When he told me he was going to work for GCHQ, I knew it was a mistake.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09He didn't belong in that world.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12And I could feel him wanting me to tell him so.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17Why didn't you say something?
0:47:17 > 0:47:21We didn't have that kind of a relationship.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24I take it you have some kind of plan?
0:47:24 > 0:47:26We must prove it works.
0:47:36 > 0:47:37You don't have a plan, do you?
0:47:37 > 0:47:39No.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41He needed to believe I did. And we need him.
0:47:43 > 0:47:44You see?
0:47:44 > 0:47:47Proof - the orderly functioning of society
0:47:47 > 0:47:49depends on our ability to lie.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53Given the choice of no lies, or lies, every organization,
0:47:53 > 0:47:57every person of power, without exception, will choose lies.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01Maybe Alex imagined a better way of doing things.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06I wonder when he began work on this project.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Why does that matter?
0:48:09 > 0:48:13Maybe he was ashamed of the lies he'd told you.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16Ashamed that your relationship was built on lies.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18Maybe on some level,
0:48:18 > 0:48:20he thought he was making amends.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22- To who?- To you.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32Danny!
0:48:43 > 0:48:46- I'm to blame.- I'm sorry.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49I'm to blame.
0:48:49 > 0:48:50I never said "to blame".
0:48:53 > 0:48:54He did it for me?
0:48:55 > 0:48:57It's possible.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01I never asked for it.
0:49:01 > 0:49:05He knew you'd find out that he'd lied about much of his life.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08He must have worried that you'd end up hating him.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10He must have worried about that moment every day.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12Would you still love him if you knew?
0:49:12 > 0:49:15Could you still love him if you knew?
0:49:15 > 0:49:20Would you re-examine your love story - Alex's only love story...
0:49:21 > 0:49:25..and decide, in the end, it was nothing but a lie?
0:49:25 > 0:49:27He was never sure.
0:49:28 > 0:49:29How could he be?
0:49:34 > 0:49:36I wish I could've told him.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38That none of it mattered.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41The lies, the mistakes.
0:49:43 > 0:49:45That I loved him, just the same.
0:49:46 > 0:49:50That I, I love him. Still. Now. Knowing it all.
0:49:53 > 0:49:54I wish he could've heard me say it.
0:49:56 > 0:49:57Yes.
0:50:02 > 0:50:03He'll never know.
0:50:04 > 0:50:05No.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55This is going to sound a, a bit...
0:50:57 > 0:51:00But...it occurred to me I'd never said it out loud before.
0:51:03 > 0:51:04I love you.
0:51:06 > 0:51:07Very much.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54You're not going to be charged.
0:52:02 > 0:52:03Is that it?
0:52:05 > 0:52:06You're free to go.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12You brought me here like this to tell me that?
0:52:17 > 0:52:18Will anyone be charged?
0:52:24 > 0:52:25Danny...
0:52:27 > 0:52:28..for you...
0:52:30 > 0:52:31..this is over.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34This isn't over.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47This isn't over.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31APPLAUSE
0:54:11 > 0:54:13PHONE RINGS
0:54:26 > 0:54:27- Scottie?- Danny.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38- Danny...- Scottie?
0:54:38 > 0:54:40There will be a note.
0:55:04 > 0:55:06APPLAUSE
0:55:33 > 0:55:35HE BEGINS TO CRY
