0:00:02 > 0:00:06This programme contains some strong language
0:00:06 > 0:00:10- I'm trying to find out about the man you work for.- Mr Cilenti's influence should not be underestimated.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14This time next year every one of those countries will be committed to nuclear armament.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18- The repercussions will be felt by all our children.- That is an exhilarating team...
0:00:18 > 0:00:19of which you own 50%.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21With eyes on the other half.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23- Have you ever looked for her? - I'm going now.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Because I have. I don't have her birth certificate.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29I believe that journalists who share their contacts are ultimately rewarded.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31I think I'd like to call in my reward now.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34A word of advice to you and your friends at The Hour.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Drink my champagne, eat my oysters, but don't think for a moment you won't pay.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I think someone's been in my flat. It's from Cilenti.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Your friend must be turning a blind eye to the man's misdeeds.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Cilenti's got a leading Police Commander in his pocket.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47We all have our weaknesses, Mr Madden.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Most of us manage to keep them within the boundaries of the law.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53And if that fails? Could you contain yourself?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59The Standard's already carrying it.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Christ.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07"To ask an American if a nuclear accord between the United States and Great Britain
0:01:07 > 0:01:10"is a union of equals is to presume that we are looking for an equal.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13"Britain is the car park and we are asking them
0:01:13 > 0:01:15"to act as valets for our missiles.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18"But make this clear - they neither own nor get to drive the car."
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- What was Colonel Finch thinking? - He clearly wasn't.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23He's made a fool of us and an ass of himself.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Happy New Year, one and all.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Let's hope not. We can't make good news without bad.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30These were taken in Paris, mid-December.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33A lunchtime gathering alongside the NATO conference.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Whilst the real work was being done by the heads of state
0:01:35 > 0:01:36in the other room.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41These are the men in attendance to grease the wheels.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43So, Finch and NATO lead?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46We'll see. Isaac see if we can get Priestly on the show.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48It's important we have the anti-nuclear view.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Oh, do we really have to have Priestley on?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I mean, what's Macmillan supposed to do?
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Better to have American-controlled missiles than no missiles at all, surely.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Bet that's the way the country thinks.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Balance, Mr Madden. The age-old concept of.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Something to counteract the fact that Colonel Finch and these men
0:02:03 > 0:02:08taking us to the brink of a nuclear war are all grinning like schoolboys.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11So, the Pentagon wants to build these bases
0:02:11 > 0:02:13and have us pay for them?
0:02:13 > 0:02:14LIX: At the cost of twenty million.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17And I presume these are the men who will benefit from it.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19LIX: Put enough men of influence around a conference table
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- and there'll always be those looking for the crumbs.- Vultures.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Well put, Sweetheart. - I presume Uncovered are also running with Finch.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29It'll take a typhoon in Tipperary to topple this.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35You'll find me with our friends in personnel this afternoon.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Those whose contract is up and may be thinking of
0:02:38 > 0:02:42asking for an increase in salary should tread carefully.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46This is the BBC, not the MoD. Contracts cannot be ignored.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Did you read it? - I did.- And?
0:03:27 > 0:03:32Interesting. Very interesting, but if you plan to break a story of police corruption on The Hour...
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Hector's interview with Stern prepared the ground. Lead with Finch this week by all means...
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Thank you, I will, because this isn't ready. This can't lead.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41But you think it's a good story.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Without analysis. Without evidence.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47We are journalists Mr Lyon, not detectives.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50An influx of foreign girls who've found employment at El Paradis.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55Norman Pike forcing statutory tenants from their flats and replacing them with Cilenti's girls.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59A police officer who, when he's not assaulting prostitutes, is covering for those that employ them.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- I think we're not doing badly. - It's clearly more than just a couple of corrupt plods.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07It's organised crime, systematic, organised crime, greased by a deep level of police collusion.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11If you plan to expose ingrained police corruption ignored by a complicit Commander,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14then you may have the best story of the year and it is only January.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20But dig deeper. Go further. Find new sources.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24If you can't find new sources, find new ways of talking to old ones.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26But that will take time.
0:04:26 > 0:04:33So take time. Until then, NATO still leads the show.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Didn't I do enough last week? Bloody Sunday Telegraph thought so.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40"A bare-knuckle brawl" was their assessment.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- It was brilliant, Hector. Really. I...I couldn't have done better myself.- Thank you.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46But you know there is more.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49You had him against the ropes, Hector but you didn't throw the final punch.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52You can't ask us not to expose him. It is going to happen.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53I can't betray him.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57He's a corrupt officer whose handiwork almost cost you your career.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Give him the chance to whistle-blow.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01And then what? We can't protect him.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03His career is already blown.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Just call him.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I used to think that getting under your skin was a form of sport, now I look on it as a moral duty.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Let me think, man!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18What next?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Randall was right. Old sources, new methods.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26My turn. The only people who know more about these men,
0:05:26 > 0:05:27are the women they are involved with.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Moneypenny... - She's our only source.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I have that translation for Miss Storm.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Oh, er, well, you might find her in her office.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41We need the money.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Of course. It's fine.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I'll, er, I'll go and check on Mr Wengrow's homework.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Oh, thank you, darling. You are a marvel.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- A bientot. - Goodbye.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I'm going. I'm going. Freddie doesn't like me in the office.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- I never said that. - You didn't have to.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Mr Wengrow.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18The paperwork for El Paradis. Every six months,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Mr Cilenti has to apply for a fresh licence.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23He's blatantly contravening the licensing hours
0:06:23 > 0:06:26and yet the police never make any objections.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Inspections are always carried out by an "S Attwood." I assume...
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Never assume.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35..he's the same detective Attwood that signed a report that stated
0:06:35 > 0:06:40there was insufficient evidence to prosecute Mr Pike for assault a few weeks back.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Or rather, co-signed with an "L Stern."
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Isaac, I presume, when you go home tonight, your mother will be waiting.- Yes.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I'd like you to thank her for me,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54for having the foresight to deliver a son.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06PHONE RINGS
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Hello?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Er, Miss Ramirez? It's Miss Rowley from The Hour.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15'I was wondering if I might speak with you again.'
0:07:15 > 0:07:20Don't call me here. How did you get this number?
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Through...through a contact.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23She's fine. Miss Delaine. She's fine.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25'Until the next time.'
0:07:25 > 0:07:28You didn't just come because you were worried about Miss Delaine.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32I suspect you also came because you were worried for yourself.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Please, just...just half an hour, nothing more. Somewhere neutral.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39'No-one need ever know that we spoke.'
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I don't know what you want from me.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44'We want to expose Cilenti but we need information.'
0:07:44 > 0:07:48You have more power than you think.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51There's a museum. The Petrie Museum.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Take the 19 to Knightsbridge
0:07:53 > 0:07:56'and it's three stops thereafter. Shall we say one o'clock?'
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- I'm late. - Well, I'll drive you.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08No, thanks.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I never know where I am with you, Rosa.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18What?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Jeanie's free.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44How did it go?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47She hung up on me.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- She'll be there.- How do you know? - I just do.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57PHONES RING AND TYPEWRITERS CLATTER
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I'll be off shortly.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Right. Do you really feel the need to inform me of that?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I almost telephoned you.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Really?
0:09:15 > 0:09:16I saw a musical.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- A musical.- Why not?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I was in the West End and I do sometimes, I thought...
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I hate musicals.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Yes, that's what I thought.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27It might have been interesting, though, to...
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- I wish that you had. - LIX LAUGHS
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- What? - You. This. This hovering.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44They've found her.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46QUIETLY: What?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49My contacts. They think they've found her.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Right.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56They'll send me their paperwork, etc.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Right.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Lix...- I couldn't.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I...
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I thought that it was the...
0:10:07 > 0:10:13There was this family, about an hour outside of Paris.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15They were...
0:10:15 > 0:10:16very...
0:10:18 > 0:10:20He took her.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24It wasn't official.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I just...
0:10:28 > 0:10:30They just looked so right with her.
0:10:34 > 0:10:40And, er, at that time, when war broke out, I was outside Amiens.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I went back and...
0:10:42 > 0:10:47a neighbour told me that they'd, er, taken her somewhere safe.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I... Well...
0:10:49 > 0:10:54I... I told myself that she was safe.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58And I haven't heard from them since.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00No address, just...
0:11:00 > 0:11:02just gone.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10So, you'll, er, you'll let me know.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Yes, as soon as the...
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- It's important that you and I, we...- Yeah.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Rather than...push it to the back of the drawer.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22As can happen.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24You've smoked that awful short.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Shit.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Shit, shit.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48Can you put me through to Commander Stern, please? Grosvenor 2352.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50PHONE BUZZES
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Yes?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- 'Hello?' - I don't know why I'm calling you.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59In fact, I'd rather do anything than have this conversation.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00'But old habits die hard.'
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- Hector, erm... - 'I wouldn't do to my worst enemy what you did to that girl.'
0:12:06 > 0:12:09But every vice has its excuse ready. My father always said that.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11So I'd like to believe that it was a moment of madness.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14And I want to believe that you are truly sorry
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- 'for what happened.' - Hector, I...
0:12:16 > 0:12:18'But then I remember the past.'
0:12:19 > 0:12:24And I find these memories, these snatches coming to me...
0:12:24 > 0:12:25'more and more.'
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- The war was a long time ago. - 'Some things you just don't forget.'
0:12:33 > 0:12:38Miss Rowley and Mr Lyon are brilliant journalists and they smell a good story.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45Mr Attwood's name has been mentioned in connection with yours.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47And in connection with the club.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Lieutenant?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Well, say something, man, for Christ's sake!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- They are still pursuing Mr Cilenti? - 'Yes.'
0:13:00 > 0:13:03You're talking about a man who will ruin both of us.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Your entire team if he has to. You will all be compromised.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- 'The man is relentless.' - Well, then find a way to stop him.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16'I presume you're joking. You can't honestly think that I haven't thought of that before.'
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Well, then talk to us. It's the only way to keep you clear of the story.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21It'd be professional suicide. Don't be ridiculous.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- 'You'll have to throw us something, Lieutenant.'- And if I don't?
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- They'll expose you anyway. - 'What, further humiliation live on air?'
0:13:28 > 0:13:32I saved your fucking life, Hector, now you save mine!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45That man.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I've seen him at the club with Miss Delaine.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50We need a list of everyone who was at this nuclear summit.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Does he work for NATO?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55That would certainly raise the calibre of the men on Cilenti's payroll.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Ask Rosa Maria.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Does she know what any of her clients do? How they might help Cilenti?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I'll do my best.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Do you recognise him, Lix?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05No. He's not a politician or a head of state.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Are you sure? - Darling, I can recite the name of every minister,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Prime Minister and President in my sleep.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Going down?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Actually, I was hoping to take you out for lunch.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- I can't. - I want to kiss you.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Oh? I wouldn't.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Bob in accounts gets awfully jealous.- Mr Lyon.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Good Christmas? - Yes. We rang in the New Year.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I'd better get going. I'm meeting my one-time best man.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Now working for Auntie on the Sports desk. Dinner?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Bring wine.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Love to.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42You're not invited.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- Very good. - Are you going to Sports?
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- What? - I thought you were going to Sports.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Yes.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54White. She prefers white.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02KNOCK AT DOOR
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Oh, Mr Kendall. - Just passing.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Huh! I don't believe you. You know my contract's up.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14I'm just the carrier pigeon,
0:15:14 > 0:15:18but you must know we will match any raise they offer.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Right.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22And we can certainly get you a bigger office than this.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Where do you have all your meetings?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26In Bel's... Miss Rowley's office.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29How does one spread out work in here?
0:15:29 > 0:15:30With difficulty.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Bear it in mind.- I will.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36To be frank, expectations are low, they are notoriously tight
0:15:36 > 0:15:38and probably won't offer me anything better.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42We'll keep your seat warm. Maybe get a meeting with the team in the calendar?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Talk to Miss Cooper. She keeps my diary.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Mr McCain on line one. He was wondering if you might be free for a drink.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Was he?- I'll be off. Miss Cooper? Expect a call from me.
0:15:53 > 0:15:59- Divine. Hector, sweetie, have you had a chance to look over the Priestley for tomorrow?- Er, no.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Well I'd appreciate it, if you would. - Look, just leave them on my desk.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05They're already on your desk.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Darling, you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders today. Whatever's the matter?
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Just not sleeping very well.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Are you in trouble?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Yes. A debt of sorts.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18A man in debt is a slave.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Oh, Hector darling, I often think the only thing holding you together is that bloody coat.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23I'm fine.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Good. Then buck up and let's see that fire in your belly.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29What fire?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31The one I saw in your interview with Commander Stern.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Er, tell McCain, eight o'clock. Wherever he wants.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Yes, Mr Madden.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- How long have you worked at El Paradis?- Two years.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- And did you know Miss Delaine before?- No.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53The men who come into the club.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Do you recognise any of them there? Successful, powerful men.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- Do you, do you ever get their names? - If Cilenti tells us to.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01If he wants us to talk to them,
0:17:01 > 0:17:05if he wants us to get them to drink more, talk more.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07If he wants us to get them in a photo.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09And...and why would he want that?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12All men are the same when you unbutton their trousers.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14We're just the honey before the sting.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16He blackmails them?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27You wouldn't have come to see me if you didn't want my help.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31For whatever reason, you... You pushed us in the direction of those photographs. Why?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34No successful man wants to be photographed with a whore.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39But it's a glamorous club. You're a beautiful girl.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Those photographs are in the press every day of the week.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45We are whores when Mr Cilenti needs us to be.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48So that's how he blackmails them. What happens next?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Whatever he wants. Passports for foreign girls. Needs a licence.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Needs to cover something up. Policemen, politicians, stars.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57All the same.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01If they don't pay up, they get a little envelope.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Then another one.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06He's here.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Get me something.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20Get me evidence of blackmail and I will get the story out.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- We can help you.- No, you can't.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Anything to prove Cilenti's doing this
0:18:25 > 0:18:27and I will run it on The Hour. He won't harm you.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- He will be gone, I promise you. - Goodbye, Miss Rowley.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- DOOR OPENS - Mr Madden?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44They're ready for you now.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Mr Madden.- Mr Chapman.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- We could have shared a taxi. - I prefer to walk.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Nothing like an annual review to kick-start the year, Mr Madden.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Indeed.- Get behind the man in front of the camera.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Please.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Can't pretend.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15We're really rather pleased with the progress of The Hour, Mr Madden,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18after last year's difficulties.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Mr Brown has been telling us what an exemplary front man
0:19:22 > 0:19:23you have been for your team.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Your interview with the Police Commander being a high-point.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Is that so?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I understand you're being courted by ITV.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I would expect nothing less,
0:19:36 > 0:19:39but one must protect one's investment.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41We wish today to reiterate
0:19:41 > 0:19:46what an important asset to the corporation you are, Mr Madden.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50A fact affirmed by Mr Brown, but obvious for all to see.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Mr Madden is not simply the front man of The Hour...
0:19:54 > 0:19:56..he's the essence.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59A former serviceman, his is the reliable voice that,
0:19:59 > 0:20:03in these dark and difficult times, the public can respect.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04In you they trust.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09While, of course, we cannot be held to ransom,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11we hope to make you an offer
0:20:11 > 0:20:14that you consider commensurate with your talents.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17And in the spirit of whatever the other side is offering -
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- that way, your decision can be purely...- Ethical.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- Quite.- Further to which, we should at some stage
0:20:23 > 0:20:25discuss which other programmes might benefit
0:20:25 > 0:20:28from having you at the helm, Mr Madden.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- I don't know what to say. - "Thank you" would be a start.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Mr Lyon? I've got that list from the Summit lunch.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Three Brits - if we disregard McCain...- Always.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46..and the rest, who are a pretty even smattering of politicians
0:20:46 > 0:20:48and corporate names from the NATO member states.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50But still no name for him.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- Your eye's twitching. - Is it?- You working late?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Oh, yes. Difficult last act.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- With a play, do they pay you by the word or by the line?- Um...
0:20:59 > 0:21:01They don't pay you at all?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04No, they've paid me. They're putting it on the radio.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Isaac, that's brilliant, bloody well done.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- I'd rather no fuss. - I hope you're not leaving.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Check the Palais.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Lix says that's where they all stayed. Cross reference.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Bel?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- She won't know we're here. - Breathe.- Shit.- Breathe.- Shit.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33What did she say?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37They're blackmailing Stern.
0:21:37 > 0:21:43Any man of influence - barrister, doctor, actor, minister -
0:21:43 > 0:21:47foolish enough to pass through the doors of El Paradis
0:21:47 > 0:21:50is hurriedly introduced to one of Cilenti's sirens.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00All Miss Delaine and Miss Ramirez have to do
0:22:00 > 0:22:04is to take them home and stand by their front door and kiss them
0:22:04 > 0:22:08and there is somebody there to take their photograph, from a distance.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09A honey-trap.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Cilenti, conceivably,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15could have information on half the men in London.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18So what does Cilenti want from the man at the NATO summit?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Miss Delaine was all over him at the club.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Oh, Christ, what have I done?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26What have I done?
0:22:26 > 0:22:27It's brilliant.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33It's just paper.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- He followed us.- So we've rattled him.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- What is it? - It's a threat from Cilenti.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40We have to tell the story this week.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44We have to tell it now.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49In Borneo, when a man wants to warn his enemy he's coming for him,
0:22:49 > 0:22:53he binds the dried entrails of his dead elders to a clay pot
0:22:53 > 0:22:54and leaves it at the door.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Keep going.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Even though he's threatening a member of our team?
0:23:00 > 0:23:03To him who is in fear, everything rustles.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Anything else?- No. Not yet.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09I've got that name. Francis Tufnell. He owns an engineering company.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Made his money in scrap metal, post war.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13We've been cross-referencing names
0:23:13 > 0:23:15trying to identify everyone at the NATO summit.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Because? - This man. At the summit lunch.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21I've seen him at El Paradis. With Miss Delaine.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24We think Mr Cilenti may be deliberately encouraging
0:23:24 > 0:23:28compromising situations in order to blackmail men like Commander Stern.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- And others.- An industry magnate?
0:23:30 > 0:23:35- Possibly.- Strictly, Mr Wengrow is on the home desk,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- but one suspects the reach of this particular story goes beyond our remit.- Yes.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42The question one should be asking
0:23:42 > 0:23:45is what is an industry magnate doing among diplomats?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Was there really nowhere better we could meet?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Dear, dear, Hector. I know you don't bear a grudge.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58What is El Paradis without you, hmm?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00For goodness' sake, take off that coat.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02You look as if you're waiting to be evacuated.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Whisky, no ice.- No, thank you. - My friend will have the same.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Pretty girl.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Why do you do it, Angus?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15You don't find that young woman remotely attractive.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Actually, I've just met an absolutely lovely girl. Vera.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22A distant cousin. We've been to the theatre, twice.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Look, I've not come to fight.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28You put on an absolutely marvellous display of your prowess
0:24:28 > 0:24:30at that Orphanage Trust party thingamajig.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Let us not repeat that.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I have a story for you.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Too late, we're on air tomorrow. We've got our story.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Finch, the missiles? Obviously? - No point in denying it.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43No, no, I can see the appeal. Thank you.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Mm.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Might have something else for you. Something a little stronger.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Been some slight trouble at the Treasury.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Treasury?- Mm-hm.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Well, I won't bore you with the details,
0:24:57 > 0:25:01suffice to say, the entire Cabinet are looking to spend money,
0:25:01 > 0:25:05not least in defence, and the Chancellor is adamant they can't.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09So? Sack Thorneycroft.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12If you sack the Chancellor, you risk exposing the fact that he's right.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Thorneycroft and his colleagues, Powell and Birch,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18are on the brink of resignation.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20It's a case of "cut spending or else".
0:25:20 > 0:25:23The cabinet are in session as we speak.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26You think you're in trouble, Hector?
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Poor old Harold has never had it so bad.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Why bring this to us?
0:25:33 > 0:25:37What has happened to Downing Street in the last few days
0:25:37 > 0:25:39could well bring down the government.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41That's not what I asked.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Well, it makes for better copy than Finch.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I'm giving you first dibs, Hector.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Just get your chaps down to Westminster tomorrow
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- and watch it unfold.- It won't work. He hasn't resigned yet.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Well, he will have done by the time you've gone on air.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Yeah, leaving us with what? No time to react.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Even with the tip we'll be no further ahead than any other news outfit.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03And I can't pitch a discussion on rumoured resignation. It's hearsay.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Miss Rowley won't buy it. Nor will Brown.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Well then, I'll give you the whole scoop, hmm?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Thorneycroft is itching to talk.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Well, he will be.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16You bring your camera, I'll bring the Chancellor,
0:26:16 > 0:26:17we meet at Westminster.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- The interview is yours.- Exclusively?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I may not be Evelyn Waugh, Hector,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24but I do know the meaning of the word "scoop".
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Same again? Same again. - No, no, I'm not staying.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Think about it, Hector.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35If I don't hear from you, Uncovered are the next in line.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Good evening, Mr Madden.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Actually, maybe I will stay for another drink.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00PHONE RINGS
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- Yes?- It's me.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07'Hello, me.'
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- What are you doing? - I'm... I'm working.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12'24 hours till we go out.'
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Are you quite all right?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16'Yes, I'm fine.'
0:27:16 > 0:27:19You don't sound it. You sound tense.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Erm...
0:27:21 > 0:27:23It's... It's just been one of those days.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26'Tell me.'
0:27:26 > 0:27:29No, I don't do that.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Oh, well. That's a shame.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Because I've been commended for my listening.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39No. Sorry. Erm...you'll just have to get used to tense.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42'What time tonight?'
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Erm...nine?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49'You still there?'
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Jane's away for the night. With her grandmother.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Right.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03'And now your silence is making me even tenser.'
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I'll see you later.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Yep.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Turn it off.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42And disappoint your guests, Mr Cilenti?
0:28:42 > 0:28:44They're not my guests. Get them out.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- Sorry, gentlemen.- Ah...what?
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Right, how do we get this story to lead tomorrow?
0:28:57 > 0:28:59This was taken a few weeks ago.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01It's Mr Tufnell again.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04And here's a list of Mr Tufnell's professional activities
0:29:04 > 0:29:06through the years. They seem pretty legitimate.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08He's clearly made a considerable amount of money.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11But the trail goes blank during the war.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13No military record, so I asked Mr Wengrow
0:29:13 > 0:29:15to find out what he was doing from '39 to '45.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18The only name I could find was a Francesco Tufo
0:29:18 > 0:29:22who was interned in a POW camp on the Isle of Man.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26The same Francesco Tufo who started a small company here in '46,
0:29:26 > 0:29:29specialising in springs for pens, cars, etc.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- Mrs Lyon again. - Take another message, please.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35She wants you to pick up some food for this evening.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Ron's. All I could find. Some sort of schnapps.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Oh, thank you. Well, er... beggars can't be choosers.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44A year later, that firm was sold and a second one was started
0:29:44 > 0:29:49by a man now known as Francis Tufnell. He changed his name.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Presumably to grease his path.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53But the really interesting thing
0:29:53 > 0:29:55is the name of one of his co-compatriots
0:29:55 > 0:29:57in the Prisoner of War camp -
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Mr Raphael Cilenti.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Might want your spectacles.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11There.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15And guess who is on Mr Tufnell's board of directors?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Raphael Cilenti.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20And the name of the company in line to secure a million pound contract
0:30:20 > 0:30:22on the bases post the NATO summit?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Tufnell Engineering.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30The same military bases which will house the American missiles.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Kiki isn't a honey trap for Mr Tufnell -
0:30:33 > 0:30:35she's a New Year's bonus.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Or a gift from one friend to another.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45This blows Finch and the NATO summit out of the water.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Excuse me.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Excuse me.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54All is well, Miss Delaine?
0:30:54 > 0:30:56- Thank you, Mr Cilenti. - Mr Tufnell.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00- I hope you're being very nice to my friend this evening.- Always.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Good girl. Whatever he wants?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Yes, Mr Cilenti.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08No concern of yours, Miss Delaine.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10All is happy tonight.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Mr Madden. May I offer you a table?
0:31:13 > 0:31:17No, thank you, Mr Cilenti, the view's just fine here.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- Excuse me, could I have a word? - Of course.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33- Miss Delaine? - I'll call the management.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I'm not here to harangue you.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39I'm not asking you to explain why you did what you did.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40I'm warning you -
0:31:40 > 0:31:45whatever Commander Stern did to you before, he will do it again.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49You're... You're too young to understand what war does to men.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52It shatters you, it exposes the worst part of you
0:31:52 > 0:31:55and makes you want to destroy even the most beautiful things.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I don't understand.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58I wish you could.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Go away.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Go away!
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Got any more of that?
0:32:27 > 0:32:31Cilenti's got me sitting at the top table again tonight.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33You're stupid.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34We're not exclusive.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Your Commander know that?
0:32:41 > 0:32:43I'm in trouble.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Rosa!
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Go back to your gentleman. Don't let them see you with me.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Please!
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Get out while you can, Kiki, promise me.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07You can get free from all of this.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09So can you.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Wish me luck.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35# I believe
0:33:35 > 0:33:39# In doing what I can
0:33:39 > 0:33:43# In crying when I must... #
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Your lady...
0:33:47 > 0:33:49She's been talking?
0:33:49 > 0:33:53No, that don't mean nothing. Rosa just likes a gab.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55You can't help yourself when you hear her sing.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58She'll never be Miss Delaine.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00You won't get a better dancer.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Dancers are easy to find.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Take care of it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17# Someone affectionate
0:34:17 > 0:34:22# And dear
0:34:22 > 0:34:26# Cares would be ended
0:34:26 > 0:34:31# If I knew that he
0:34:31 > 0:34:37# Wanted to have me near. #
0:34:40 > 0:34:44You're too much. You really are too much.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Laurie was just reminding me of that terribly funny dinner
0:34:47 > 0:34:51we had at the Plaza Cafe, Coronation Day. Do you remember?
0:34:51 > 0:34:52Drinking ourselves silly
0:34:52 > 0:34:55and toasting the new Queen to the early hours.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57What are you doing here?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59I was passing.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Marnie, could you leave us alone, please?
0:35:01 > 0:35:05I'm sorry, Laurie. I'm terribly sorry. Hector?
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Please do as I say.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Don't ever come to my house uninvited.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23- Hector...- I blotted it from my mind cos it was wartime.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Trieste, stuck in that warehouse for God knows how long.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Finally we had a night off in that...god-awful village.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34One girl to service all of us. You went first.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- Remember?- Yes, well, I'm not going to have this conversation.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42So I'm shown into this squalid back room and there cowering on the bed...
0:35:42 > 0:35:45She'd been beaten black and blue.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48When I sat next to you on the way back, never said a word.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54I'll never forget what you did for me.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57And I'd hoped one day to repay the favour but...
0:35:59 > 0:36:01..I can't.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02And I can't stop The Hour
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- from exposing the corruption in your force.- Christ!
0:36:06 > 0:36:08It's out of my control.
0:36:08 > 0:36:09It'll ruin me.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Now, you owe me.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15You have to do something!
0:36:15 > 0:36:19I can buy you a week, but you stay away.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22From here and, if you've any sense, from that young woman.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24I can't!
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Then you're a fool.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32You're not the only one in her life.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Tell me you understand that.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
0:36:44 > 0:36:45You haven't done anything yet.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52FREE JAZZ PLAYS
0:37:01 > 0:37:03I know, I know, I know...
0:37:03 > 0:37:06It's all right. Michael bought supper.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08Come.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12We have another pair of hands.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14You can lick while I fold.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18Can it wait till morning? I have to go to bed.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23Michael, Anne, Phillip? My husband, Freddie.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Ah, the man who tells the world what's happening, eh?
0:37:26 > 0:37:28I try.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29Michael's heard Priestley speak.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32He's been asked to work on the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35That's marvellous. Pie and chips for two.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36Excuse me.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Rude.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44- My house.- OUR house.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47You know, there's a reason
0:37:47 > 0:37:49people write music down before they play it.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50It sounds better that way.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- You're so patronising. - Me patronising?
0:37:53 > 0:37:56You've got Karl Marx, Groucho Marx and Gertrude Stein
0:37:56 > 0:37:59conspiring revolution in my front room.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Well, at least they are doing something. Trying to do something.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06I just need to sleep.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Freddie, don't you care?
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Do you know this craziness going on in the world?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Missiles creating more missiles,
0:38:12 > 0:38:16ours to be pointed at the Soviets, theirs to be pointed back at us!
0:38:16 > 0:38:19On and on it will go, Freddie. Every day, horrible, horrible news.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21What do you think I do all day
0:38:21 > 0:38:23but try to make sense of those horrible stories?
0:38:23 > 0:38:27Well, this is how we do it! This is how to effect change.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Same as you telling your story, except we don't have to wear a suit.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32This suit pays the bills.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Is this our life, Freddie?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Why do you think I work every night, late?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Trying to deliver the most truthful perspective I can.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Because it's easier than to be here.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45With me.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Because then you can be with her.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49With Bel.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Say it's not true.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58It's not true.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59Liar.
0:39:04 > 0:39:11The poor man had to get his wife to retype every letter after I'd gone.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13In the end, he said,
0:39:13 > 0:39:17"Well, if you can't type, maybe you'd be better at finding the story."
0:39:18 > 0:39:20And you were.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25My first story was a fire in the East End.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27A faulty boiler.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32It killed two families, and orphaned a twelve-year-old boy.
0:39:33 > 0:39:38I door-stepped the landlord until he admitted he was at fault.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40It made page six.
0:39:41 > 0:39:46All my girlfriends were at dire dinner parties
0:39:46 > 0:39:49trying to find the perfect husband. They still despair of me, but...
0:39:51 > 0:39:54..how can I hide what's really important,
0:39:54 > 0:39:57what really can change the world?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02It's the simple act of telling someone's story.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05But not forever?
0:40:05 > 0:40:07No? Why can't I do it forever?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Ah, talking about something you don't want to talk about.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11That thing you don't do again.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17We got Priestley. On tomorrow's programme.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19He just confirmed.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21No. How?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24But if it's about the news, she will talk about it.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28And so passionately on her subject.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32I'm just very persuasive.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34When I set my heart on something...
0:40:36 > 0:40:39- DUSTBIN CLATTERS - You're still on edge.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Let's not be newsmen tonight.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Let's just be...
0:42:00 > 0:42:03SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:42:34 > 0:42:36No, go back to sleep.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55I didn't know you were dropping by today.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58You had a visitor?
0:42:58 > 0:43:01- Just a friend.- Yeah. Whore.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Did you honestly think I was only yours?
0:43:10 > 0:43:16Do you honestly think it's enough, sitting in waiting for YOU to visit?
0:43:16 > 0:43:19The arrogance.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21All of you thinking you're the one.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28Go on, then - hit me.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31You want to do it so...
0:43:31 > 0:43:34I love you.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36I love you, too.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47You stupid little girl.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50You have no idea what you've done.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52You don't even know what you've done to me.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21You can tell Mr Cilenti...
0:44:24 > 0:44:27..that I won't be requiring you any more.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52Hector?
0:44:59 > 0:45:02There are things I haven't told you about the war.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07Things that we did.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10Terrible things.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15Laurie took over once, when I couldn't...
0:45:19 > 0:45:22When, as his commanding officer, I...
0:45:22 > 0:45:24I couldn't give orders.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29He used a man as a shield,
0:45:29 > 0:45:32a French man, intent on giving us away.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39He got us out.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41Oh, Hector...
0:45:46 > 0:45:48He got us out, Marnie.
0:46:13 > 0:46:17- Oh... - SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Are you ready?
0:46:34 > 0:46:36- Do you want me to...?- Yes, please.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51Her name is Sofia.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53Oh. They kept her name.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58Sofia Malfrand.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04She probably doesn't even speak English.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07She's at the Conservatoire.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09Studying music.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14Music? Oh.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19Sofia.
0:47:21 > 0:47:2319.
0:47:49 > 0:47:50Done?
0:47:50 > 0:47:51Yes.
0:47:55 > 0:47:56Good.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03A list of high profile men, most of them in government,
0:48:03 > 0:48:05who have been entertained at El Paradis
0:48:05 > 0:48:07who clearly are using their influence
0:48:07 > 0:48:08to support Cilenti's life over here.
0:48:08 > 0:48:11- Your source at El Paradis? - I've been calling her all morning.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14- She's not picking up. She's too frightened.- And Priestley?
0:48:14 > 0:48:16- Decided to go on ITV.- On Uncovered.
0:48:16 > 0:48:17Thank you, Mr Wengrow.
0:48:17 > 0:48:21I wasn't expecting to see him getting gonged on Take Your Pick.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23- Mr Madden.- Morning, Hector.
0:48:24 > 0:48:27We don't need Priestley. This is the story.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32A criminal whose business empire is allowed to exist
0:48:32 > 0:48:34due to widespread police corruption,
0:48:34 > 0:48:37a fact for which we now have evidence,
0:48:37 > 0:48:41who maintains his power by blackmailing people of influence,
0:48:41 > 0:48:44and who also may be profiteering
0:48:44 > 0:48:48from contracts related to the imminent arrival of missiles.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50His corruption goes nuclear.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54- Very good. - There is a time issue here.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56Our contacts, our sources,
0:48:56 > 0:48:59may have endangered themselves by talking to us.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01A young woman, she gave us the story.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04If we run it tonight, if we go public,
0:49:04 > 0:49:06it quashes the chance of repercussions for her.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08- You're suggesting tonight?- Yes.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11Really? I mean, it's a good story but...
0:49:11 > 0:49:13But?
0:49:13 > 0:49:16You might want to save it for another week.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18The Chancellor is going to resign.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21It's not been announced yet,
0:49:21 > 0:49:24but, er, McCain has offered us the exclusive.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27A 30-minute interview with the Chancellor this evening,
0:49:27 > 0:49:28live from Westminster.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31So why is Mr McCain giving this to The Hour?
0:49:31 > 0:49:33- He owes me. - Oh, you can't be serious.
0:49:33 > 0:49:38- That's an incredible lead, Hector. - It's deflection, is what it is. It couldn't be more obvious!
0:49:38 > 0:49:39Can't you just be pleased?
0:49:39 > 0:49:41Must you always be the one to get the scoop, Freddie?
0:49:41 > 0:49:43This is the scoop!
0:49:43 > 0:49:45While you were drinking whisky and jockeying for a pay rise,
0:49:45 > 0:49:48we were working through the night to get this story. And for what?
0:49:48 > 0:49:51All McCain wants is to bury the anti-nuclear story
0:49:51 > 0:49:53and the Colonel's gaffe. It's deflection.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55That's his job, to bury bad news.
0:49:55 > 0:49:58A 30-minute interview plus analysis...
0:49:58 > 0:50:00it doesn't give time for anything else.
0:50:00 > 0:50:01In terms of public interest,
0:50:01 > 0:50:03you know this is the more important story.
0:50:03 > 0:50:04We can't ignore a scoop like this.
0:50:04 > 0:50:08He's right. Mr Wengrow? Talk to the outside broadcast unit.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11See if they can get the Roving Eye. I'll speak to McCain.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14We asked this girl to put her neck on the line!
0:50:14 > 0:50:17If we weren't going to run the story, we would never have done that.
0:50:17 > 0:50:19We have to run it now.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22It's a corruption story. It'll wait a week.
0:50:22 > 0:50:26Our priority has to be to cover political developments such as these.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28Lix?
0:50:29 > 0:50:32It's the much bigger story, darling.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34Mr Madden to speak to the Chancellor,
0:50:34 > 0:50:36Mr Lyon to link from the studio.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39You're doing this to cover your chum, Hector.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42His news is ordered by government and you bloody know it.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44That government runs this country
0:50:44 > 0:50:47and any changes to the cabinet is of public interest.
0:50:47 > 0:50:48Shame on you, Hector.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Er, Mr Brown, I wanted to thank you...
0:50:56 > 0:50:58Not necessary. Not if you're going to stay.
0:51:09 > 0:51:13Post? On my desk, please, and call Miss Ramirez again.
0:51:13 > 0:51:14Oh, Ron, back a bit with that,
0:51:14 > 0:51:17we want to light Mr Lyon, not interrogate him.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21Hello.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23It's beautiful. All the lights.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26Are you looking for Freddie? He's upstairs.
0:51:27 > 0:51:28Do you mind?
0:51:28 > 0:51:30No, not at all.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39We're doing a live link with Westminster.
0:51:40 > 0:51:42Exciting?
0:51:42 > 0:51:44I suppose so.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46Will you give Freddie a message?
0:51:46 > 0:51:48But you can give it to him yourself.
0:51:48 > 0:51:50My train leaves soon.
0:51:50 > 0:51:54Please just tell him I'm going away for a couple of days.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56With friends.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58A holiday?
0:51:58 > 0:52:00No. Not exactly.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02How can one have a holiday when we live like this?
0:52:03 > 0:52:05People in this city, they understand best
0:52:05 > 0:52:08what's happening in the world -
0:52:08 > 0:52:11the nuclear threat, what it means for ordinary people.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15Yet they do nothing about it.
0:52:20 > 0:52:21Er, Camille...
0:52:23 > 0:52:24Are you all right?
0:52:24 > 0:52:26Yeah.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29Look after him.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31It's what he wants.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33What you both want.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36Um...that's not true.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38Yes, it is. You just can't admit it.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46PHONE RINGS
0:52:54 > 0:52:56RINGING CONTINUES
0:53:02 > 0:53:0620 minutes, Miss Rowley wants everyone on the floor.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12OK, just through here.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18The Chancellor is just about to release his press statement.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20Ready for D-Day?
0:53:20 > 0:53:22Well, as ready as I was for the real thing, Angus.
0:53:22 > 0:53:25Yeah. Then Mr Thorneycroft should have little to fear, I imagine.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28He will be ready for you presently.
0:53:38 > 0:53:42Oh, erm, they're... They're waiting for you downstairs.
0:53:44 > 0:53:46We've just got to get on with it, Freddie. No complaining.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48Who's complaining?
0:53:53 > 0:53:55Sorry.
