0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting
0:00:05 > 0:00:07England is in need of a jolly good scare.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09An outrage that will summon this country from its slumber.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Blow up the observatory?
0:00:11 > 0:00:16I give you a month. Dynamite, chemicals - you have carte blanche!
0:00:16 > 0:00:18They'll kill me.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Michaelis, now released, may be looking for revenge.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Work to do, comrades.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26If I am such a fantasist, Chief Inspector, explain this...
0:00:27 > 0:00:30It's the Professor, sir. He has a bomb.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32I think he might use it.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Can you supply a bomb?
0:00:43 > 0:00:46I can supply a bomb. Will you explode it?
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Why were you talking about explosives?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I was just being provocative.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52It's my job.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58If your associates were to find out
0:00:58 > 0:01:01that you were being paid by the Russian Embassy to spy on them...
0:01:01 > 0:01:03it could end in your death.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05As for us, I'm sure we'll be all right.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07You always find a way to make things work.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I need to see the First Secretary! It's impossible.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Imagine how good a few days in the country will be for him.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- That way, you two will become much closer.- Exactly.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Oi!
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Let's make a plan.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Do you know what a secret is, Stevie?
0:01:38 > 0:01:43The necessity of silence... Not even Winnie must know.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Could be father and son.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Hide your deed behind a harmless boy.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50You're not the bravest, are you?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54You screw the top on tight...
0:01:54 > 0:01:57it makes the connection. Set at 20 minutes.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00But a short, sharp shock... be careful...
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Can we go now?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Yes, time to act, Verloc.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Look. Look. Country!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Yeah. All right.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Here we are. Stevie.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Come on.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Look, Mr Verloc, above the tree.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35There's a bird just above the tree.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38BRAKES SQUEAL
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Excuse me.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47I want more! I want to see more world!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Stevie misses you.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56As long as he comes every Sunday.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59You don't think he'll get lost, do you?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03He won't have any trouble. I've sewn his address into his coat.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I didn't expect you. Not today.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Look at me - I'm here now, aren't I?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Is everything as it should be? At home.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Oh, everything is as it should be. Perhaps even more so.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20There's been quite a development, actually.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Really?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Mr Verloc has quite taken Stevie up.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28You'd never guess where they are now. They're in Kent together.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Kent!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Is this it? Is this Michaelis' cottage?- That's it.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I waved them off, Mother. You should see them together!
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Well...
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I know.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42And Mr Verloc's not too busy?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44He's found time for Stevie.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47And if things haven't worked out so badly for Stevie -
0:03:47 > 0:03:49what about yourself? Are you as included?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Despite what you said, my marriage is real, Mother.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Despite what you thought, we are a true family.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Nothing will ever get in the way of that.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Good boy. Good boy.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Bye.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08This is very kind of you.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11It was very kind of Lady Blackwood to offer me such sanctuary.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15I wish to be generous too. To Winnie and Stevie.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18But I must warn you, the boy can be noisy.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19I hope we won't disturb you.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I'll be locked away with my thoughts.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Thank you.- Adventure!
0:04:24 > 0:04:25It won't be for ever!
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Stevie! Stevie, come on. Come on, this way.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32That's it.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Final Stop, Waterloo Station. Everyone off at Waterloo Station.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49You are not very vigilant, are you?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- What?- Have you not been told to look out for me?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Instructed by the Special Crimes Division?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Get off with you... don't be such a pest.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01What if I was waving a gun around? What then?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03But you have no weapon...
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I've a weapon deadlier than any gun...
0:05:12 > 0:05:14How many people, do you think?
0:05:15 > 0:05:16What are you talking about?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19To blow to kingdom come? 30? 40?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22And afterwards, you can tell your superiors you watched me go.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24The man you called a pest.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Tell Heat it's the Strand next.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Michaelis, I'm going to climb trees
0:05:41 > 0:05:44but I'm not going to get my trousers dirty!
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Would that I were so young and agile!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Right, I'll take your bags for you...
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Please, er... I can manage the satchel, at least.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10The Professor's on an omnibus.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Get a message sent. He is NOT to be approached.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Let me remind you,
0:06:25 > 0:06:28you told the Home Secretary that he was the least of them.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31That was one blunder. Then your manhunt finds him nowhere until
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- he decides to show himself to us. - I'm aware of that, sir.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Then don't let him make himself known to the rest of London by way of an explosion.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Stevie. Stevie.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47What are you doing, eh? What are you doing?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Look at me. Look at me.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Don't run off like that, OK?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Look at the ground. Look at the ground.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Now look at my feet. My feet. We're going to walk together.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Come on. Walk together.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Do you wish to lay a hand on me?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Because it would not be enough by itself.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50You'd have to shoot me like a dog.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Yeah, why don't you do that?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I'd rather talk you out of it.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Talk me out of blowing this bus up?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Yeah.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07And no-one will be any the wiser...
0:08:08 > 0:08:10..and we'll all be safe.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13You can't pin my arms to my sides,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15so use your bullets, Chief Inspector.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Be ruthless. Slaughter me.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20What, and let the public think
0:08:20 > 0:08:22that you lot deserve to be treated like that?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Do you honestly think this state will meet murder with murder?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29And morality will disintegrate in its very temple.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31You understand the game.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Congratulations.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36And these innocent people will be killed. Is that the first step?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Is that what you want?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40What I want is the perfect detonator.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45A full 20 seconds must elapse from the moment I press this ball
0:08:45 > 0:08:47till the explosion takes place.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Imagine those 20 seconds, Inspector. I do.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00For you, it'll feel like an eternity.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Get back!
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Move! Out of the way!
0:09:25 > 0:09:27PASSENGERS SCREAM
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Let go. Let go!
0:09:41 > 0:09:43THE PROFESSOR LAUGHS
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Buried together!
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Your 20 seconds are up!
0:09:52 > 0:09:55You've failed, Professor.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Get off me! No! No!
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Good day's writing?
0:10:23 > 0:10:24No.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Words wouldn't come? Thoughts a jumble?
0:10:30 > 0:10:31One burning thought.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Betrayal.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Hidden in a satchel.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Go to your room, Stevie.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Go and play.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You can take your food.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I'm here today and gone tomorrow.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13No-one will ever know we were here.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18I was still part of your...plan, though, wasn't I?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23School the boy here, hide here!
0:11:23 > 0:11:24You can plead ignorance.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27If it was found I was involved in any way,
0:11:27 > 0:11:31I would go back to prison for life, for harbouring you!
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Stop shouting. You'll get the boy going!
0:11:34 > 0:11:36How could you be low enough to use him as your dupe?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38No-one's going to get hurt.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41How many lies have you told him, huh?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Well, I'm not going to be another of your...victims.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51It's not even as if this device is going to cause any harm.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54You've kept this from us all... that's harm enough.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58You were there. You heard my thoughts.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00And the Professor was happy enough to provide...
0:12:00 > 0:12:02What's the target?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Actually, no, I don't want to hear about it.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- I don't want to know anything about it.- The observatory at Greenwich.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Don't! I will not be landed in it! - It's a building, that's all!
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Not people.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16You're no terrorist, Verloc.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22So just tell me why you're doing it.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28You're an agent, aren't you?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32You're a spy.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Prison has made you scared of your own shadow!
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Seeking to betray us all!
0:12:39 > 0:12:43It's the Russians who want the law brought down on you all, not me!
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I never expected to be used in this way...
0:12:52 > 0:12:55And now you have involved me!
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Will you inform on me? To our comrades?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06To the police?
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Just go.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18What will you do?
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Both will think me alongside you, so I can say nothing.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26And do nothing!
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Go in the morning.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Good for you, sir.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Well done, sir.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Heat.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32The Professor's in custody, sir.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34You threw yourself on him, I hear. Smothered him.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37He could well have accounted for you.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Your modesty's well judged, Chief Inspector.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Given that you've previously smothered the truth about him.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Seems I am hard to remove...sir.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Could well be the case, Inspector.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Keep up, Stevie.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Stevie!
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Sorry. Sorry.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Keep up.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23SHOP BELL TINKLES
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Not more pamphlets!
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Oh, yes. Be careful, though...
0:15:31 > 0:15:33my words are still burning on the page.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I hear Verloc's visiting
0:15:40 > 0:15:43the great artist Michaelis as he writes his opus...
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Yes. And Stevie is also his guest.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Stevie has more ideas in his head than Michaelis.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51I didn't realise you were such a jealous person.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55It's just some people don't deserve what comes their way.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Michaelis, Verloc...
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Enough of that. - Look at you. Trapped among all this.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04It's called having a business to run.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05SHOP BELL TINKLES
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Take some time off.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Now.- I can't just go. - Who's stopping you?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Good morning.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Eggs, please.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36No breakfast for you.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42You're just a madman, not a prisoner of distinction.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Well, then, I have spread my madness, Inspector.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I've been giving my stuff away.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50You think to alarm me?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Despite the failing of my detonator,
0:16:53 > 0:16:57in giving dynamite to the world, science has done its best work.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I have given dynamite to someone else,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01so they may do their work.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06- I don't believe you.- You have the keys to my lock-up. Go there.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09You'll find X2 powder on the floor and the remnants of clay,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11still wet from recent use.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Evidence that I have been very busy, Inspector.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Who for?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Who for?!
0:17:25 > 0:17:27TRAIN APPROACHES AND SLOWS DOWN
0:17:27 > 0:17:29TRAIN WHISTLE
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Stevie! Hurry up.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41London train arriving. London train.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I bet all the waiters know you here.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52"Oh, here comes Ossipon again with another one."
0:17:52 > 0:17:55You sit them down at the same table...
0:17:57 > 0:18:01I can't pretend I haven't... sought the company of women.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04This is different, is it?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07For me, it's completely different.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Seven years ago, I loved a man. Son of a butcher.
0:18:15 > 0:18:1725 shillings a week he brought home -
0:18:17 > 0:18:20but how was he to take on a girl with an ailing mother
0:18:20 > 0:18:23and a poor simple brother?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27I had to find the courage to slam the door in his face.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31And then came along Anton Verloc... and he took us all on.
0:18:31 > 0:18:37And as we speak, Tom, he is Stevie's companion. Stevie's companion!
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Stevie will be the only happy person in this whole affair...
0:18:40 > 0:18:45No! I will too. Because this new thing between them...
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I am so hopeful about it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Tell yourself that lie.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52But imagine more than just the day with me.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20If people are killed, it won't be in the cause of any great struggle.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21It'll just be murder.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24It will be the triumph of a certain kind of will.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30Not end hunger, not deliver the poor? Not justice for all?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37What kind of economic structure are you after?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40One that counts your corpses on the floor.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41So you can walk a little taller?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46You imagine my future, Inspector? I don't.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48You shouldn't imagine anybody's.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Least of all those you wish to save.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02LOUD THUD
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Is that your worst?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Ah! Ahhh!
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Stop! Stop!
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Well?- Come on! More!
0:20:16 > 0:20:18You might persuade me like this.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I might wish to save my sight and confess it all!
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Gladly...
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Ahh!
0:20:28 > 0:20:32If we torture him, he wins. We become him.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36You're wrong, Inspector. Torture me and you may get your answer.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41The loss of one eye I may suffer, but two?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I would surely tell you what you need to know.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I'm in thrall to you, Professor. I'm begging you.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Help me.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Cometh the hour, cometh the man, eh, Stevie?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I don't know...
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Just means being brave. We're brave, aren't we?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Yes, I am. Are you?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16You are in thrall to the law, Inspector.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20I am only in thrall to what I desire.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22And therein lies my power.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Who have you supplied?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Who have you supplied?!
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Nearly there...
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Time to set men free?!
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Quiet, Stevie.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Why do we have to leave Kent? - Outstayed our welcome.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Didn't Michaelis like us?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Did I do something naughty?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Stevie, we've got a job to do.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41No more holiday.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Now, put the bags down there.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45That's it.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Hide and seek?- Stevie!
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Come back here. Now!
0:21:53 > 0:21:56This is a serious business we're doing here.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58It's a serious business.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03Yes. So... We've got plenty of time.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08We go up the hill. Put it against the wall.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13And then we go home.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34It is to be a demonstration against a building.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I had hoped for rather more in the way of destruction.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Which building?- I depend on death, not just mere bricks falling down...
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Which building?!
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Right. Stevie, stop here.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Make the connection.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Not too tight...
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- I'll go for you! - Stevie...! No!- I'm a good boy!
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Stevie...! - I'll be a good boy! Good boy.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Stevie, no!
0:23:24 > 0:23:26PEOPLE SCREAM
0:24:20 > 0:24:24You got your wish. It was more than mere bricks falling down.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33HE LAUGHS
0:24:33 > 0:24:36HE ROARS
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Stay back.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Stay back, please.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Stay back.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29I was the first on the scene.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30I saw from over there
0:25:30 > 0:25:32what looked like a flash of lightning.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35He would have died instantly.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Any witnesses? Anyone see him before this?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42There were sightings of two men together...
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Two?
0:25:43 > 0:25:47A shorter older man and a taller younger one, sir.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Which one's this? - Impossible to say, sir.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54We need to transfer this body to the morgue.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I threw the tarpaulin over the...
0:26:02 > 0:26:04..but I'm not sure I'm up to...
0:26:04 > 0:26:07No need. I'll do this.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- Not your function at all, sir... - I said, I'll do this.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45HE VOMITS
0:26:54 > 0:26:59Stupid, stupid murderous trick to expose me like that.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02To perform such an act. And for what?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- To what end? - Who's dead? Not you, obviously.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08No. Not yet...
0:27:08 > 0:27:13I have run the risk for 11 years of being stabbed in the back
0:27:13 > 0:27:15for my double-dealing and now...
0:27:15 > 0:27:18now they will all come for me. You have to protect me!
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Me?! Why?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Why?- My dear fellow, you must get yourself out of the country!
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Get out now while everyone thinks you are the casualty.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- Is that all you have for me? - You have done your job.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Now we must wait and see how Parliament will legislate for it.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I killed her brother!
0:27:37 > 0:27:41That simple...wretched boy.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Well, obviously better if it hadn't been sanguinary at all
0:27:44 > 0:27:46but there we have it.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Now, when you leave the Embassy, please make sure nobody sees you.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51It has to be as if you were never here.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55I'm sure you can manage that. After all, you are a spy.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03They may not even trace this to you.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Your associate, is he identifiable?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13I don't think so.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Well, then, you may be in luck.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18And nobody will ever know you were involved at all.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22That may be some consolation for you.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Goodbye.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Two gentlemen seen coming out of Maze Hill Station
0:29:08 > 0:29:12some 15 minutes before the explosion...
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Their tickets given in?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Also got a woman come forward...
0:29:23 > 0:29:27attends the chapel in Park Place sometimes. Saw the two men...
0:29:27 > 0:29:30The older one carrying a canvas bag on his shoulder.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Must have stumbled.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Sir?
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Stumbled and fell.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Quite a mess he's made of himself there, sir...
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Cover up.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Read all about it!
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Sir...
0:30:12 > 0:30:15That...piece of cloth you put in your pocket...
0:30:15 > 0:30:16What of it?
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Precisely that, sir.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Is it significant?
0:30:24 > 0:30:28When intelligence is shared too much it stops being any such thing.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04BELL JANGLES
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Where's Stevie?
0:31:19 > 0:31:20I couldn't drag him away.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25It's worked like a dream, Winnie.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I told you it would.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Will Michaelis look after him?
0:31:29 > 0:31:32I told him he'd have to reckon with you if he didn't.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Should I be worried? Is he...happy?
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- Is he missing me?- He's having the time of his life, Winnie.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42He's climbing trees.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Sorry...
0:31:46 > 0:31:48I'm sorry... I...
0:31:49 > 0:31:51I feel I'm catching a chill.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55I'll make your tea presently.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56Don't want you laid up, do I?
0:31:58 > 0:32:00That won't be so.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03I'll cause you no trouble.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Is...that why you left Kent, cos you were getting a chill?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Things to attend to in London.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Winnie,
0:32:23 > 0:32:25I'm going to retrieve all my money.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27What for?
0:32:27 > 0:32:30I was thinking, down there...
0:32:30 > 0:32:32maybe we should move away.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33Abroad.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36France, maybe, or California.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Wonderful business opportunities there.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39The idea!
0:32:40 > 0:32:42The business isn't so bad.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45You've a comfortable home here.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Be... Besides, I think it would unsettle Stevie.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55Let's talk about it when he's home.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Even if none of our known anarchists had anything to do with this,
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- for the public it still looks like a profession of ignorance.- Yes, sir.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40The Professor obviously unable to enlighten you -
0:33:40 > 0:33:42unless you've brought something back from Greenwich,
0:33:42 > 0:33:44our ignorance is still apparent.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45We're following the leads on the two men, sir.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Something and nothing, Inspector.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- Or do you just mean to keep me at bay?- Why would I do that?
0:33:50 > 0:33:51To regain the initiative.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54To repair a reputation that has undoubtedly been damaged.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57In here.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13This is what might be said of you.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15That you concentrated on the possibility of a bomb
0:34:15 > 0:34:17that might go off at the expense of one that did.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19That your assurances to Sir Ethelred,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21though technically correct, are quite beside the point,
0:34:21 > 0:34:23because there is a dead man in Greenwich Park
0:34:23 > 0:34:27and everyone is asking the question, "When will be the next explosion?"
0:34:28 > 0:34:32I say all this mindful of your - so far - unimpeachable reputation.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38Especially when you have no answers. No new information.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Well?
0:34:53 > 0:34:56I took that from the remains of the body in the morgue.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58What's this?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00It's an address in Soho.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01A shop.
0:35:01 > 0:35:02Belonging to?
0:35:04 > 0:35:05Verloc.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Well, this is worse than a confession of ignorance.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13- This is one of the anarchists that's known to us.- Verloc's dead, sir -
0:35:13 > 0:35:14but the other man's still at large,
0:35:14 > 0:35:16and we know who it is.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Given in at Maze Hill.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Only three people got off that particular train,
0:35:33 > 0:35:35and one of them was a woman.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Where'd they come from?
0:35:36 > 0:35:38A little country station in Kent.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Seems...unaccountable they'd come from that place.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45Yes - but not when you know
0:35:45 > 0:35:47that Michaelis is staying in a cottage there.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52I know about this.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- He's writing a book down there. - Yeah, that may be his alibi.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58The cottage is owned by Lady Blackwood. It's her...gift to him.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Where he can find inspiration.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Well, in that case, I should go down there
0:36:02 > 0:36:05and see how many pages he's been inspired to write, sir.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06It's genuine!
0:36:06 > 0:36:07He's a suspect, sir.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09And Verloc was there with him.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Very well...
0:36:14 > 0:36:17but conduct yourself with some delicacy down there, for God's sake.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Delicacy?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Refrain from making accusations that you can't...
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Be careful, do you hear me?
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Lady Blackwood is his patron, do you understand?
0:36:29 > 0:36:30Perfectly, sir.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39HE GRUNTS
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Whoa! Steady.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03Whoa.
0:37:10 > 0:37:11Chief Inspector Heat.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Special Crimes Division.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Two tickets from here to Greenwich.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24You shouldn't come here and interfere with me, you know.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28I've been taken up by certain...
0:37:29 > 0:37:31..people.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- Very influential.- I know.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35I know.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Did you buy a ticket back from Greenwich to here?
0:37:38 > 0:37:41You know, you and Verloc, you ventured out together,
0:37:41 > 0:37:43then, after, you came back alone.
0:37:45 > 0:37:46In shock, no doubt.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50I am in shock because you tell me he is dead.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53And you don't feel you had a part to play in that?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55I didn't, I wasn't there.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57All your influential people,
0:37:57 > 0:38:00they can't save you from the truth coming out.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Not a man like you. A ticket-of-leave man.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05You can't afford to make one mistake,
0:38:05 > 0:38:08let alone get mixed up in something like this.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09I didn't get mixed up in it.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10Then what?
0:38:13 > 0:38:14What?!
0:38:17 > 0:38:18It...
0:38:21 > 0:38:22It wasn't voluntary.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26I didn't choose to.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28So, Verloc was here, and you went off together?
0:38:28 > 0:38:29No. I didn't go.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Two men! Two men were identified there!
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Stevie!
0:38:33 > 0:38:35The other man was Stevie!
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- Who's Stevie?- His brother-in-law...
0:38:39 > 0:38:41He didn't even know the dirty work he was doing for him.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Where is he now?
0:38:45 > 0:38:46Uh...
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Hiding in a ditch scared out of his wits, most probably.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Why would Verloc embark on such a thing?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53He didn't take me into his confidence.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- He knew I wouldn't approve. - If you had prior knowledge...
0:38:55 > 0:38:56I knew nothing.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59I was in my room the whole time.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04It's an autobiography, you know?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07The suffering I've gone through.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- Lady Blackwood is my patron. - Yeah, I know.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13I know.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17And you're quite immune.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40I never hoped to see you here tonight.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44Annie said you may be occupied with the bombing.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48We have one fatality, another still at large.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50We hope to know his identity soon enough.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Hope you are rounding them all up, Assistant Commissioner.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Better to eliminate suspects from our enquiries, one by one.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Mm, softly-softly? Where has that got you?
0:39:58 > 0:40:00It's how we do things here.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02It's procedure.
0:40:02 > 0:40:03Procedure?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05What sort of suspects?
0:40:05 > 0:40:06Who are they?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09The anarchists. The political activists.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Including even those you have embraced, Lady Blackwood.
0:40:12 > 0:40:13Michaelis?
0:40:13 > 0:40:15I hope you're not bringing him in.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Do you have any idea what that might do to him?
0:40:18 > 0:40:20But if he is party to any such conspiracy...
0:40:20 > 0:40:23He is in Kent now, and there's only one passion urging him on.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Mr Stone...
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Only one passion occupies him. His writing -
0:40:29 > 0:40:32which I shall soon see into publication.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- How exciting.- Quite.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36In the meantime, it must be the only thing to detain him.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Tolerance can be folly, though, can it not?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43In the bigger matter of the security of your country,
0:40:43 > 0:40:46if these people are not suppressed, squashed,
0:40:46 > 0:40:49then the conflagration may spread
0:40:49 > 0:40:52from an attempt on the Observatory to...
0:40:52 > 0:40:53every city in the country.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55You think it that grave an affair?
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Or do you simply intend to frighten us all?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00It's what he's in England for.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02You only have a dead body -
0:41:02 > 0:41:04the perpetrator you cannot even identify.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Yes, we can.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Oh, oh, really? Really?
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Well, let me guess...
0:41:09 > 0:41:11it's confidential.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14His name's Verloc.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16It was.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- The fatality? The dead man?- Mmm.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24I see.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28You're party to different information, Mr Vladimir?
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- Why would you think that? - You're smiling.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31- I am?- Why?
0:41:35 > 0:41:37I have a very good hand, that's all.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Excuse me, my lady.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Verloc's still alive.
0:42:19 > 0:42:20No.
0:42:20 > 0:42:21No, I'm sorry, that can't be.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23I'm afraid you're mistaken.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25It's his brother-in-law Stevie who survived.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27You know that for a fact?
0:42:27 > 0:42:29No, but Michaelis is sure of it.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Did Michaelis identify the body? Did you?
0:42:32 > 0:42:33The Russians know differently.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Then if he's hiding out in his shop, I'll go there at once...
0:42:36 > 0:42:38- Arresting him will have to wait. - So he can escape?
0:42:38 > 0:42:39I've had to suffer
0:42:39 > 0:42:41the First Secretary's smug expression all evening -
0:42:41 > 0:42:43as if he's been in the know all along.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Why would he know about Verloc and his fate?
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Perhaps there's a connection.
0:42:50 > 0:42:51Heat, I'm warning you -
0:42:51 > 0:42:53I will no longer allow your idea of secrecy
0:42:53 > 0:42:55to be keeping your Chief of Department in the dark!
0:42:59 > 0:43:00He's their agent.
0:43:00 > 0:43:01How do you know that?
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Because he's also mine.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08An asset I've been exploiting on and off for the past few years.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10So you've been making use of this man privately?
0:43:10 > 0:43:11But now we know what we know,
0:43:11 > 0:43:13we can't let him get away with dropping a bomb
0:43:13 > 0:43:14- That's not up to you.- But, sir,
0:43:14 > 0:43:17- it would be a perversion of my duty. - Did you hear me?!
0:43:17 > 0:43:20The point is not him, is what's behind him.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Vladimir.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25You forget Mr Verloc. You leave that responsibility to me.
0:43:25 > 0:43:26Do you understand?
0:43:31 > 0:43:32I'll be off home, then, sir.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Make sure it isn't through Soho, Inspector.
0:43:43 > 0:43:44Thank you.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13You're thinking about the boy?
0:44:16 > 0:44:17I just miss him so much.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23We've never been away from each other before.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29It seems wrong that he's not at home, and I am.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33He's in some village somewhere,
0:44:33 > 0:44:35hearing sounds he's never heard before.
0:44:38 > 0:44:40I hope he's not scared out his wits.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46I hope he's...not missing me.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52You could at least reassure me.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57Just think of the good it's doing him.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Why can't you sleep, Anton?
0:45:14 > 0:45:16I shall count sheep.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21I imagine Stevie is doing so now.
0:45:23 > 0:45:24Quite literally!
0:45:50 > 0:45:53- Sit.- Sir.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58Is this the beginning of a dynamite campaign?
0:45:58 > 0:46:00I rather think not, Sir Ethelred.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02Well, what does Heat think? He gave me his word in this room
0:46:02 > 0:46:04that we would be safe from any anarchist attack.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07- I think it's still safe to say that, sir.- So, what was Greenwich?
0:46:07 > 0:46:09- More anomaly than plot. - Not a conspiracy?
0:46:09 > 0:46:12- Not in that way. - But the Professor supplied the bomb?
0:46:12 > 0:46:14More transaction than conspiracy.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17Sir, this is a situation that requires some delicacy.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Some secrecy.
0:46:21 > 0:46:22Why?
0:46:24 > 0:46:27There's a figure in the pay of a certain embassy...
0:46:28 > 0:46:29A Mr Verloc.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31Known to us as an anarchist?
0:46:31 > 0:46:33In fact, a spy and agent provocateur for the Russians.
0:46:33 > 0:46:35This was a Russian plot?
0:46:35 > 0:46:37Orchestrated by Mr Vladimir, I believe.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40My God, these people are impossible.
0:46:40 > 0:46:41A Turk would have more decency!
0:46:41 > 0:46:43Quite.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45So, what do we do about this Verloc?
0:46:45 > 0:46:49In my opinion, offer him immunity from prosecution
0:46:49 > 0:46:51in exchange for everything he can tell us.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53In your opinion?
0:46:53 > 0:46:54Yes, sir.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35Where are you going?
0:47:39 > 0:47:41Are you going to collect Stevie?
0:47:43 > 0:47:44Yes, I...
0:47:46 > 0:47:47I'll attend to the boy.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02DISTANT SOBBING
0:48:20 > 0:48:22HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:48:24 > 0:48:25Yes?
0:48:28 > 0:48:30Is there a body here?
0:48:30 > 0:48:32We have lots of bodies here.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38I mean the one recovered from Greenwich Park.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40Some sort of ghoul, are you?
0:48:40 > 0:48:42I thought I should see it. That's all.
0:48:42 > 0:48:43"Should"?
0:48:46 > 0:48:48COINS CLINK
0:48:50 > 0:48:52Even if you were from the newspapers,
0:48:52 > 0:48:54I couldn't allow you to take a photograph.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56- Police attend the body? - No, I attend it.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01And it's not a body.
0:49:01 > 0:49:02It's just a mess.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14BELL JANGLES
0:50:23 > 0:50:25Is your husband home?
0:50:25 > 0:50:27No. He's gone out.
0:50:27 > 0:50:28Do you know when he'll be back?
0:50:28 > 0:50:29Can't say.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34So, you're here all alone, then?
0:50:34 > 0:50:35Yes.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41What, no family member to help you out?
0:50:41 > 0:50:42My brother's in Kent.
0:50:43 > 0:50:44With Mr Michaelis?
0:50:47 > 0:50:48Who are you?
0:50:48 > 0:50:50You've been in before.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53Chief Inspector Heat. Special Crimes Division.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55Isn't a crime to hold a meeting.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58You can't be arrested for your thoughts.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01It's more than just their thoughts.
0:51:01 > 0:51:02What are you talking about?
0:51:06 > 0:51:08Well, you've no idea what's happened, have you?
0:51:10 > 0:51:13Well, tell him I know exactly what's happened.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16You're not going to scare me. I know that much.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18My Anton's a good man.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20He doesn't need tormenting.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22Why don't you just leave him alone?
0:51:34 > 0:51:36Do you recognise this?
0:51:40 > 0:51:41It's this address. I wrote it.
0:51:44 > 0:51:45So that Stevie wouldn't get lost,
0:51:45 > 0:51:48so he could always show someone where he lived.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51So, it's from Stevie's coat.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53Yeah. Whatever's it torn out like this for?
0:51:55 > 0:51:58It was recovered from Greenwich Park.
0:51:58 > 0:51:59The bomb outrage.
0:52:01 > 0:52:02Have you heard of it?
0:52:02 > 0:52:05Yeah. I've heard of it. I haven't read about it.
0:52:05 > 0:52:07Some things don't bear too much looking into.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11Anyway, what's that got to do with Stevie's coat?
0:52:17 > 0:52:19Stevie's in Kent with Mr Michaelis.
0:52:21 > 0:52:22No, he's not.
0:52:22 > 0:52:23He is.
0:52:23 > 0:52:27- Stevie was your brother, wasn't he? - What do you mean "wasn't he"?
0:52:27 > 0:52:28He still is.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30He still is my brother!
0:52:35 > 0:52:36I'm sorry.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44He said he was climbing trees, getting his trousers dirty.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46He said he was having fun.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56Tell Mr Verloc I won't be coming back again.
0:54:21 > 0:54:22SHE GASPS
0:54:37 > 0:54:38You must have been mad.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41I have been mad for a month or so.
0:54:41 > 0:54:43But not now. Not any more.
0:54:43 > 0:54:46I was humiliated by you. You lied to me.
0:54:46 > 0:54:49Just take me in. I'm ready.
0:54:50 > 0:54:52I've been told to stay away.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55Others have plans for you.
0:54:57 > 0:54:58It'll all come out.
0:54:58 > 0:55:00That's not what they want.
0:55:04 > 0:55:05Then why are you here?
0:55:07 > 0:55:08I want to see your guilt.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10Look at me!
0:55:10 > 0:55:12How can you live with yourself?
0:55:17 > 0:55:18Look at that.
0:55:18 > 0:55:20Look! Look!
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Not all of him was blown to bits.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30She knows.
0:55:32 > 0:55:34She knows.
0:55:36 > 0:55:37Agh!
0:55:40 > 0:55:41She's waiting for you!
0:56:10 > 0:56:12BELL JANGLES
