0:19:20 > 0:19:22I had no idea this would happen.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26Don't apologise. You were right to do what you did.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29If I'd been brave enough, I would have done it myself.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34But Freddie has a temper, as you can see.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36And he may come back.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Don't worry. We'll take care of you.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43Would that be you and the Queen, Mr Pine?

0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Just give me the key. - I can't do that, sir.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Just give me the damn key. - I'm afraid it's not hotel policy...

0:20:29 > 0:20:30- Do you know who I am?! - Yes, sir. I do.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Then you know who my family are. Open the room. Open the room.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14He's gone back to London tonight and it'll be empty for two weeks,

0:22:14 > 0:22:17and I really think it's the safest option.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Why do you sit so far away?

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Out of respect, I suppose.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16Is that why you came all the way here? To respect me?

0:24:18 > 0:24:21You have many different voices, Mr Pine.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24You say one thing and...

0:24:24 > 0:24:26that person touches me.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Then that person is called away

0:24:29 > 0:24:32and somebody quite different takes his place.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35We have a changing of the guard.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40Are you like this with all your women?

0:24:42 > 0:24:44You are not one of my women, Miss Sophie.

0:24:46 > 0:24:47So why are you here?

0:24:56 > 0:25:02I want one of your many selves to sleep with me tonight.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06You can choose which one.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32sending me top-secret files by private courier.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34I sent them to you as information,

0:26:34 > 0:26:38as I did to everyone in Arms Intelligence. I was transparent.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41Yeah. And while you were at it, you set me up in a transparent shoebox

0:26:41 > 0:26:44in Victoria with no cash and no heating.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46- Angela...- Rex.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49Richard Roper is selling arms to the youngest Hamid brother

0:26:49 > 0:26:52in the heart of Cairo in the middle of what we hope is the Arab Spring.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Isn't that exactly what we've been looking for?!- Keep your voice down.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58The Permanent Secretary has a view, which I share,

0:26:58 > 0:27:01that if you are allowed to continue unchecked,

0:27:01 > 0:27:05in your usual headstrong fashion, against Richard Onslow Roper

0:27:05 > 0:27:07without so much as a nod to our friends across the river...

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Yeah, something might actually get done. That's it, isn't it?

0:27:10 > 0:27:12- There is another point of view on all this.- Which is what?

0:27:12 > 0:27:15That arming certain key players whose mobile phone numbers we

0:27:15 > 0:27:19happen to have in our address book might be preferable to indulging

0:27:19 > 0:27:22a whole new bunch of religious lunatics about whom we know nothing.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Oh, yeah... So instead of putting handcuffs on him,

0:27:24 > 0:27:26we can give him a seat in the House of Lords(!)

0:27:28 > 0:27:31The Joint Intelligence Committee will meet next week.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34We will have a full and frank discussion,

0:27:34 > 0:27:38we will share our intelligence like brothers and sisters and we will

0:27:38 > 0:27:45pursue, not our hopes and dreams, alas, but the art of the possible.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47Now, I have to be at my club in 15 minutes.

0:27:47 > 0:27:52I would invite you but, er... I am obliged to observe club rules.

0:27:52 > 0:27:53I urge you to do the same.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56I can't believe you're still a member of a club that won't allow women.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59Have a lovely time. Apparently, the food's shit!

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Did you ever meet Richard Roper?

0:28:10 > 0:28:12I saw him at a few parties. Why?

0:28:14 > 0:28:16What's he like?

0:28:16 > 0:28:18Very charming.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22Why do you call him the worst man in the world?

0:28:26 > 0:28:31Because he sells destruction, pain and death. And he laughs.

0:28:33 > 0:28:35TEXT ALERT

0:28:50 > 0:28:51What is it?

0:28:53 > 0:28:56Erm... I think you have to leave the country.

0:28:58 > 0:28:59I have nowhere to go.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05You could go to England.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09Will you help me?

0:29:11 > 0:29:12Of course I will.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59- There you are. - Thanks for coming.- Drink?

0:29:59 > 0:30:02- Not here.- OK.

0:30:02 > 0:30:08You know, Jonathan, they're very pleased with what you found.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11Well, if they're so pleased, how come they tipped off Richard Roper?

0:30:11 > 0:30:14- What are you talking about? - Someone in London tipped off Roper.

0:30:14 > 0:30:19My source had her face smashed up in her hotel room by Freddie Hamid.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22Are you telling me your source is Freddie Hamid's whore?

0:30:27 > 0:30:28Where is she now?

0:30:30 > 0:30:31- She's somewhere safe.- OK.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34Well, wherever you've hidden her, that's a temporary solution. Yes?

0:30:34 > 0:30:37- Yes, of course. - So what are you planning?

0:30:37 > 0:30:40- I'm planning to get her out of the country.- Aha... Where to?

0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Where do you think, Simon?- Jonathan, if you think the British Government

0:30:43 > 0:30:46is going to give safe haven to Hamid's tart, think again.

0:30:46 > 0:30:47Excuse me?

0:30:47 > 0:30:49The British Government have a responsibility...

0:30:49 > 0:30:53The Hamid family have invested over a billion dollars in Britain in the last five years.

0:30:53 > 0:30:56They're having hotels built in London, Manchester...

0:30:56 > 0:30:59They fund political parties, they're at every top table you can name.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02You think your girl is safe in London?

0:31:02 > 0:31:05Freddie Hamid has more friends in London than you and I put together.

0:31:05 > 0:31:10- She has none.- She gave us vital intelligence that can save lives.

0:31:10 > 0:31:11This wasn't a business transaction.

0:31:11 > 0:31:15This was a humanitarian act, we have a duty of care.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17I'm advising you Jonathan.

0:31:17 > 0:31:22You fly that girl out, it's a confession of her guilt.

0:31:22 > 0:31:26Freddie Hamid will know it was her, so will Richard Roper.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29And no-one will lift a finger to stop them.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32She needs to convince Hamid she knows nothing.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34That is her only chance.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26Yes?

0:32:31 > 0:32:32'It's all going to be fine.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35'You just have to give me more time, that's all.'

0:32:36 > 0:32:40There we have it. The changing of the guards.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43No, no, no, nothing has changed. It's all still the same.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45It's going to... I'll find a way. I promise.

0:33:11 > 0:33:12Thank you.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44And tell the concierge to bring my dog to my room.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03- What have you got?- Not a lot.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06Roper's careful who he talks to. GCHQ have nothing but dross.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09It's always the same - his name's not on a single thing.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11There's not a single register at Companies House,

0:34:11 > 0:34:13not one e-mail, not even a text.

0:34:33 > 0:34:36The JIC meeting's been cancelled.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38Cancelled? What do you mean, cancelled?

0:34:38 > 0:34:40Apparently, there are political reasons why an enquiry

0:34:40 > 0:34:44into the Cairo papers would not be "productive" at this time.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47- Get Mayhew's office on the phone. - That was Mayhew's office.

0:34:49 > 0:34:50Roper.

0:34:53 > 0:34:54Who sent the Cairo papers?

0:34:54 > 0:34:58Station officer, name of Ogilvey.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49HE BREATHES HEAVILY

0:37:21 > 0:37:23She was a guest at the hotel.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26I think she was connected to Freddie Hamid.

0:37:26 > 0:37:27Who?

0:37:27 > 0:37:30Freddie Hamid.

0:37:30 > 0:37:32Freddie Hamid?

0:37:32 > 0:37:34You must know him, the Hamids?

0:37:34 > 0:37:36- I don't know him. - How can you not know him?

0:37:36 > 0:37:38They're one of the most famous families in the city.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41No. Was burglar. Crazy burglar.

0:37:41 > 0:37:44What are you talking about? Why would a burglar do that?

0:37:44 > 0:37:46What do you care?

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Maybe you know her better than you say?

0:37:49 > 0:37:50Maybe you kill her?

0:39:09 > 0:39:11Good evening, Herr Strippli.

0:39:11 > 0:39:12Mr Pine.

0:39:16 > 0:39:17Good evening, Fraulein Vipp.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19Guten abend, Herr Pine.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48Herr Strippli, you should have gone by now.

0:39:48 > 0:39:52A late booking came in. I had to arrange their requirements.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Private jet, landing in Dubendorf.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57- I am sending a helicopter to pick them up.- Hm.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01You know of him?

0:40:03 > 0:40:06He used to come every year, but that was long before your time.

0:40:08 > 0:40:10And this parcel came for them.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12Please give it to them when they arrive.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15Goodnight, Mr Pine.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17Gute nacht.

0:40:45 > 0:40:46Thank you.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54- Very nicely done, may I say? - Thank you.

0:40:54 > 0:40:55That was very elegant.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00It is so pleasing to wake up the fucking Germans.

0:41:15 > 0:41:16Welcome to Zermatt, sir.

0:41:18 > 0:41:22I'm Dicky Roper. My chaps have booked some rooms here.

0:41:22 > 0:41:23Quite a lot of them, actually.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26How very good to see you, Mr Roper. My name's Pine.

0:41:26 > 0:41:31I'm the night manager. I do hope your journey wasn't too ghastly.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34So, where's old Meister?

0:41:34 > 0:41:38Tucked up in bed, is he, with an Ovaltine? Or German porn?

0:41:40 > 0:41:43How you getting on with those magazines, Jed, darling?

0:41:43 > 0:41:45Just fine, darling.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48Herr Meister is unavoidably tied up tonight, I'm afraid.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50He asked me to show you the rooms.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53But he does enormously look forward to seeing you in the morning

0:41:53 > 0:41:56when you're rested from the journey.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59- You English, Pine? - To the core, sir.

0:41:59 > 0:42:01Wise man.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04Corky! Are you proposing marriage to the young lady?

0:42:04 > 0:42:06Highly bloody unlikely.

0:42:06 > 0:42:07Nearly there, Chief.

0:42:07 > 0:42:10I'm terribly sorry about that, it's the new security, I'm afraid.

0:42:10 > 0:42:14The Swiss police insist. There seems to be nothing we can do.

0:42:14 > 0:42:15You been here long?

0:42:15 > 0:42:18Weren't here last time we came, was he, Frisky?

0:42:18 > 0:42:19No, he wasn't.

0:42:19 > 0:42:22I've been here for two and a half years, sir.

0:42:22 > 0:42:23Before that?

0:42:25 > 0:42:28I was in Italy and, before that, Tangier.

0:42:30 > 0:42:31All done!

0:42:31 > 0:42:35About bloody time! Whatever happened to your signing hand?

0:42:35 > 0:42:36Wanker's colic, Chief.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39- Limp wrist, more like. - Your key, sir.

0:42:39 > 0:42:42This is one of Herr Meister's new innovations.

0:42:42 > 0:42:44It's a little outre, I confess,

0:42:44 > 0:42:46but our less sophisticated guests adore it.

0:42:46 > 0:42:50Well, I adore it and I'm bloody sophisticated!

0:42:50 > 0:42:51Taiwan.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53Tabby.

0:42:57 > 0:43:00- How was the ride in, sir?- Noisy.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03It can be terribly bumpy up there, even on a clear night.

0:43:04 > 0:43:07Heroic of you to venture aloft at all, if you ask me.

0:43:41 > 0:43:44although the bathrooms have been completely refurbished.

0:43:44 > 0:43:48There's a new free-standing tub, mini spa facilities and a Jacuzzi.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51- I'm going to take a bath, baby. - All right.

0:44:08 > 0:44:10Pretty, isn't she?

0:44:12 > 0:44:14I went to New York to buy a painting and came back with her.

0:44:14 > 0:44:17Liar. You said you were buying a horse.

0:44:17 > 0:44:18It was a painting of a horse.

0:44:26 > 0:44:28Sandy, are you coming to bed?

0:44:28 > 0:44:32This is Lady Langbourne, best skier within 100 miles, I guarantee it.

0:44:51 > 0:44:53Nothing that I've seen, sir.

0:45:05 > 0:45:07No, sir, I don't.

0:45:34 > 0:45:37another couple of bottles of this stuff.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39Of course, sir. Absolutely, right away.

0:45:39 > 0:45:42Find out what happened to the bloody parcel, will you?

0:52:02 > 0:52:04Which is the daughter and which is the mistress?

0:52:04 > 0:52:07The young beauties will be leaving us in a moment.

0:52:07 > 0:52:09Make sure they're well serviced in the lounge.

0:52:09 > 0:52:11I trust that won't be too painful for you.

0:52:57 > 0:52:58Yes. It's reassuring.

0:52:58 > 0:53:00Up to a point.

0:53:01 > 0:53:04- You work here all year? - Indeed, sir.

0:53:06 > 0:53:08I don't think I could do that. Too bloody quiet for me.

0:53:09 > 0:53:11Get used to it eventually.

0:53:12 > 0:53:15Keeping away from the world, are we? Got a girl?

0:53:16 > 0:53:18- No, sir.- All alone.

0:53:20 > 0:53:22Well, I suppose we all are, in the end, aren't we?

0:53:26 > 0:53:29You know, a lot of people would have tossed that cigarette away

0:53:29 > 0:53:31when the paying customer turned up.

0:53:32 > 0:53:33Good for you.

0:53:35 > 0:53:39We leave tomorrow, so until the next time...

0:53:39 > 0:53:41- adios!- Goodnight, sir.

0:53:45 > 0:53:47HE BREATHES OUT SHAKILY

0:53:59 > 0:54:01STATION TANNOY MAKES ANNOUNCEMENTS

0:54:33 > 0:54:35- Angela Burr?- Yes.

0:54:35 > 0:54:38- Jonathan Pine.- Nice to meet you.

0:54:38 > 0:54:40THEY SPEAK GERMAN

0:54:43 > 0:54:47- Thank you for coming all this way. I appreciate it.- Pleasure.

0:54:54 > 0:54:56These are for you.

0:55:03 > 0:55:06Richard Roper was recently a guest at the Meisters Hotel.

0:55:07 > 0:55:11Do whatever you want with those. I don't want to be involved.

0:55:17 > 0:55:18Thank you.

0:55:21 > 0:55:22So, why did you do it?

0:55:24 > 0:55:26Why does Jonathan Pine, respected hotelier,

0:55:26 > 0:55:29risk his career by snitching on his guests?

0:55:29 > 0:55:31First in Cairo and then here.

0:55:31 > 0:55:33I don't know.

0:55:34 > 0:55:35Yes, you do.

0:55:39 > 0:55:41- Something stirred, I suppose. - What stirred?

0:55:41 > 0:55:46Listen, if there is a man selling a private arsenal to an Egyptian crook

0:55:46 > 0:55:49and he's English and you're English

0:55:49 > 0:55:53and those weapons could cause a lot of pain to a lot of people,

0:55:53 > 0:55:55then you just do it.

0:55:57 > 0:55:59Anyone would do it.

0:56:00 > 0:56:02Plenty wouldn't.

0:56:04 > 0:56:06You were a soldier yourself, of course.

0:56:07 > 0:56:09Yes, I was.

0:56:09 > 0:56:11Iraq. Two tours.

0:56:13 > 0:56:15You know what those weapons can do to a body.

0:56:17 > 0:56:20I saw things in Iraq that didn't line up with my idea

0:56:20 > 0:56:21of what it means to be a soldier.

0:56:24 > 0:56:27And then there's Sophie Alekan. Your Sophie.

0:56:27 > 0:56:29She wasn't my Sophie.

0:56:32 > 0:56:34Mr Pine...

0:56:34 > 0:56:37what happened to Sophie Alekan makes us all involved.

0:56:42 > 0:56:44What happened in Cairo...

0:56:44 > 0:56:46shames me to the bottom of my soul.

0:56:47 > 0:56:50I know you can't forgive the man who did that.

0:56:50 > 0:56:53The question is, what are you prepared to do about it?
