0:01:55 > 0:01:59Have a good holiday. Thank you, Taylor.

0:01:59 > 0:02:05Henderson will meet you in Nottingham. Goodbye.

0:02:15 > 0:02:20WHISTLE SOUNDS

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Dr Radcliffe, here's your camera.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Where's Dr Radcliffe?

0:03:05 > 0:03:10ALARM CLOCK RINGS

0:03:39 > 0:03:42ALARM CONTINUES

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Morning!

0:07:19 > 0:07:24You should get up in the morning. 20 minutes late you are, you know.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Anything new? - It's all in the report.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31And it's neat and tidy, unlike some.

0:07:31 > 0:07:37- You want to remember you're still in the army, boyo! - You remember for me.

0:07:39 > 0:07:40Huh!

0:07:41 > 0:07:44DOOR CLOSES

0:07:54 > 0:08:019.45 am, the postman - your man Haggerty - delivered two packets and four letters.

0:08:01 > 0:08:069.56 am, the baker's van left two large brown and a sliced white.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09They had an extra pint of milk,

0:08:09 > 0:08:15so, either there are more people, or they are drinking more tea!

0:08:15 > 0:08:20- DOOR OPENS - You're not due on for hours yet.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Ross wants you.

0:08:22 > 0:08:27- So, muggins here has to relieve you. - What does he want? Did he say?

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- No.- Didn't he say anything?

0:08:30 > 0:08:34Yes, I'm in his full confidence (!)

0:08:34 > 0:08:39- Blast you and blast old Ross! - You know what?

0:08:39 > 0:08:44- What?- You've got some wiping to do. That tape's still running.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Morning!

0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Morning.- Sir.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Thank you.- Thank you.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32Come on, old pigeons.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46Come in, Palmer.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Sgt Palmer reporting, sir.

0:09:50 > 0:09:55Close the door, Palmer.

0:10:04 > 0:10:10And don't slouch like a pregnant camel. Stand to attention!

0:10:28 > 0:10:31At ease.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38- Is that my B107, sir? - As if you didn't know(!)

0:10:38 > 0:10:46- And it makes awful reading. You love the Army, don't you(?) - Oh, yes, sir(!)

0:10:46 > 0:10:49You may find a better audience

0:10:49 > 0:10:54- for your jokes in Major Dalby's outfit.- What job, sir?

0:10:54 > 0:11:00It could give your peculiar talents more scope than observation duties.

0:11:00 > 0:11:07- Is this a promotion, sir? - Sort of.- Any more money?

0:11:07 > 0:11:13- Let's see... You're on £1,300 pay and allowances.- Yes, sir.

0:11:13 > 0:11:19- £1,400.- Thank you, sir. Now I can get that infra-red grill.

0:11:19 > 0:11:27You'll have no time for cooking. Dalby works his men and he doesn't even have my sense of humour.

0:11:27 > 0:11:33- I will miss that, sir. - Come on, I'll take you over.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37The B107, must that go with us?

0:11:37 > 0:11:39I'm afraid so.

0:11:49 > 0:11:53Come along, Palmer.

0:12:13 > 0:12:20Good morning, sir. The butler you asked for is waiting upstairs.

0:12:20 > 0:12:25- Along the passage and up the stairs. Got it?- Yes, thank you.

0:12:27 > 0:12:32- Do you mind waiting? - ..Sir.

0:12:53 > 0:12:54Good morning, Dalby.

0:12:58 > 0:13:05- Good morning, sir.- I've just read your T104.- I thought that might speed your arrival.- It did.

0:13:13 > 0:13:21It's a pity you lost Radcliffe. Still, we were expecting something of that sort.

0:13:21 > 0:13:28- I hope you are not imputing negligence to my department. - Not at all.

0:13:31 > 0:13:37The killing of Radcliffe's guard has verified our suspicions.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42We're investigating a brain drain.

0:13:42 > 0:13:47Too many government scientists are leaving their jobs

0:13:47 > 0:13:50at the peak of their careers.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54- You've checked on them?- Naturally.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56CAR HORN BEEPS

0:13:56 > 0:14:00126 have left in the past two years.

0:14:00 > 0:14:05107 had fair enough reasons to go - better facilities, better pay.

0:14:05 > 0:14:12- Three defected to the other side. - And the other 16? - 17 with Radcliffe.

0:14:12 > 0:14:18None of them had a rational explanation for quitting.

0:14:18 > 0:14:24- But Radcliffe didn't quit. ..He was lifted.- Exactly.

0:14:26 > 0:14:32Now we think we've got our first real lead.

0:14:32 > 0:14:38- I want you to get Radcliffe back. - I'll try, of course.

0:14:38 > 0:14:44If you don't get him back, we might have to close you down.

0:14:44 > 0:14:49This department was set up for counter-espionage,

0:14:49 > 0:14:53not security surveillance on people like Radcliffe!

0:14:53 > 0:14:59Neither were Wilson's or Robin's departments but I put them on S1 duties.

0:14:59 > 0:15:04- They were War Office. I'm Home Office.- I know. I set you up.

0:15:05 > 0:15:11And you've got a very good job for a passed-over major.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19I've brought you a replacement for Taylor.

0:15:21 > 0:15:27- What's he like?- A bit insubordinate but a good man. Sgt Palmer.

0:15:27 > 0:15:33- That's the lot, Mrs Norman. - You expect me to clean a pub?

0:15:33 > 0:15:35It's a good hotel.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39I could have done better at the labour exchange!

0:15:41 > 0:15:43You can go up now.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Good luck, Palmer. And don't forget your mop!

0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Good morning, sir.- Morning.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Along the passage and up the stairs. - Got it.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07Shut the door.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42It isn't usual to read a B107 to its subject, Palmer,

0:16:42 > 0:16:47but I'm going to put you straight.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49"Insubordinate.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53"Insolent.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56"A trickster.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01"Perhaps with criminal tendencies."

0:17:01 > 0:17:03That's a fair appraisal. ..Sir.

0:17:03 > 0:17:08Good. That last quality might be useful.

0:17:08 > 0:17:12But if I have any trouble with you, Palmer,

0:17:12 > 0:17:16I shall bite you so hard you'll go back to where Ross found you.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Come with me.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31A word in your shell-like ear.

0:17:31 > 0:17:37- If there's anything to be reported to Ross, I report it. Understand? - Yes, sir.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Thank you for a wonderful evening.

0:17:54 > 0:18:00- Spare us the jokes. I don't have Ross's sense of humour. - I'll miss that, sir.

0:18:00 > 0:18:05- The fella whose job I'm taking, will he show me the ropes?- Maybe.

0:18:05 > 0:18:11- If you're in touch with the spirit world.- I beg your pardon?

0:18:11 > 0:18:13He was shot this morning.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Good morning, sir.- Good morning.

0:18:45 > 0:18:49DRILLING NOISE

0:18:51 > 0:18:55Murray!

0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Palmer.- Hi.- Hi.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01Give him your gun.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Issue him with a Colt .32.

0:19:30 > 0:19:35- Do you know how to use this? - Yes. I'd sooner have my automatic.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39- You'll use the Colt.- The Colt.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43- Good morning, sir.- Good morning. - Good morning.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Morning, sir.- Good morning.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Morning.

0:19:54 > 0:20:00- Thank you, Alice.- Here's the file on Bluejay, sir.- Come in, Palmer.

0:20:00 > 0:20:05PEOPLE TALK QUIETLY AMONG THEMSELVES

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Excuse me.

0:20:33 > 0:20:38This morning our S1, Radcliffe, was lifted and Taylor killed.

0:20:38 > 0:20:43It has been put to me that, if we don't get Radcliffe back,

0:20:43 > 0:20:46this department will be closed.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51Palmer.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54Palmer is Taylor's replacement.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Chilcott-Oakes.- Hello.- Carswell.

0:20:58 > 0:21:03Gray, Edwards, and Courtenay.

0:21:03 > 0:21:07You know Alice. You may sit down.

0:21:07 > 0:21:12There are only two people in Europe large enough to market Radcliffe.

0:21:12 > 0:21:17One, codenamed Sparrow, whom I've been told by the French surete

0:21:17 > 0:21:21was arrested two months ago and they're still holding.

0:21:21 > 0:21:29So, we are left with Eric Ashley Grantby, codename Bluejay, born Albania, 1918.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33Thank you, Chico.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42The one in the hat is Bluejay.

0:21:42 > 0:21:48The bald one is his chief of staff, codenamed Housemartin. This was

0:21:48 > 0:21:52taken in Stockholm two years ago.

0:21:54 > 0:21:59Here is Bluejay in Vienna last October.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Since then he has been lying low.

0:22:06 > 0:22:13Alice has done a breakdown of all his known haunts in and around London.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17- I want them all checked. Jock, take these.- Sir.

0:22:17 > 0:22:21- Gray. Sir.- Edwards.- Sir.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Chico.- Thank you, sir.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Palmer.

0:22:26 > 0:22:32If Bluejay has Radcliffe, he'll sell him to the highest bidder.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34That must be us.

0:22:34 > 0:22:40Whoever contacts him must let him know we're in the market. Get on!

0:22:40 > 0:22:43Courtenay, I want a word with you.

0:22:48 > 0:22:52- My name's Harry.- I'm Jock. - Hi.- Hello.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Is that his bird?- No.

0:22:55 > 0:23:00That parade-ground manner of his doesn't work with women.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03He's been giving you the treatment, eh?

0:23:03 > 0:23:06He's not a bad bloke, really.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Go ahead.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18This'll be your desk, Mr Palmer.

0:23:24 > 0:23:30- Do you smoke a pipe?- No. - Mr Taylor was scared of cancer.

0:23:30 > 0:23:36Your clearing house reports. Your equipment requisitions.

0:23:36 > 0:23:42Expense allowance indent. Motor pool chit. Yours is a blue Zodiac.

0:23:42 > 0:23:48Log-book. Insurance. Civilian driving licence. And form L101.

0:23:54 > 0:24:02- What is form L101 ?- Field report. You must make one out after every job.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06I've got to ask about Grantby in 19 different places then make out

0:24:06 > 0:24:10- 19 lots of silly answers?- Aye.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12This job's nearly all legwork.

0:24:27 > 0:24:33- It may be Dalby's way of doing things but it isn't mine. See you, Jock.- Cheerio.

0:25:04 > 0:25:12- I'm always doing you favours. - We're mates.- Do ME a favour then. - I'd do anything for you, Pat.

0:25:13 > 0:25:19- What's his name? - Eric Ashley Grantby. - See what we've got.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23- Thanks.- One moment, sir.

0:25:25 > 0:25:30- Now.- Yes?- That blonde bird you was with the other evening.

0:25:30 > 0:25:35- Rita?- What's her phone number? - You dirty old man!

0:25:35 > 0:25:41- You scratch my back, I'll scratch hers.- You should be locked up.- Yes!

0:25:41 > 0:25:45There, sir. Thank you.

0:25:45 > 0:25:50Grantby - a right master criminal.

0:25:50 > 0:25:55Well, there you are, Harry. Scrutinise that.

0:26:02 > 0:26:063 parking tickets. Thurlow Gardens.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09Thurlow Gardens.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Thurlow Gardens.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15The last one only two weeks ago.

0:26:15 > 0:26:20- Ah! Registration number. Can I borrow that?- Go ahead.

0:26:20 > 0:26:244...1...7...

0:26:24 > 0:26:27..F...L...U.

0:26:27 > 0:26:32- Thank you, Pat. - What about her telephone number?

0:26:32 > 0:26:35Oh, disconnected.

0:29:23 > 0:29:29- Get me Donaldson's "Crystalline Structure Of Non-ferrous Metals". - Yes.

0:29:51 > 0:29:54Mr Grantby.

0:29:58 > 0:30:04We are looking for an important piece of scientific equipment.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07It was lost on a train.

0:30:07 > 0:30:12We think you might be able to help us get it back.

0:30:29 > 0:30:33We would be willing to do a deal.

0:30:46 > 0:30:50Call me after six.

0:30:53 > 0:30:58SCRAPES THE CHAIR NOISILY

0:31:24 > 0:31:27LINE DEAD

0:31:33 > 0:31:39Operator, I'm getting unobtainable on Knightsbridge 2149.

0:31:39 > 0:31:43That line is discontinued, caller.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56Grantby!

0:32:50 > 0:32:54All right, gentlemen, sit down.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59Let's hear what you have to say.

0:32:59 > 0:33:03- Carswell?- No luck, I'm afraid, sir.

0:33:06 > 0:33:10- Chico?- No joy. I'm awfully sorry, sir.

0:33:10 > 0:33:15- Being sorry is no use. Didn't anyone contact him?- I did.

0:33:19 > 0:33:25- In the Science Museum library. - And?- He wouldn't play. All he gave me was a discontinued phone number.

0:33:26 > 0:33:34- Did you follow him?- I lost him. - You lost him?- Yes.- You idiot!

0:33:34 > 0:33:37Let's see it.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46Put it on your field report.

0:33:48 > 0:33:53I want your L101s as quickly as possible, however feeble they may be,

0:33:53 > 0:33:59and then you can all get out and look for Grantby again. Alice.

0:34:02 > 0:34:09- He seemed very pleased with you. - Well, he's got a right comical way of showing it.

0:35:43 > 0:35:49- This is unauthorised.- My mother gave it to me for Christmas.

0:35:49 > 0:35:55- You're supposed to be at work. - Oh, you ARE, of course (!)

0:35:56 > 0:36:00Dalby likes to know about his new boys.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22- Have you seen everything?- Yes.

0:36:22 > 0:36:26Then you know where the whisky is.

0:36:27 > 0:36:31- Yes.- Fix us both one, will you?

0:37:08 > 0:37:12Thank you. Cheers!

0:37:17 > 0:37:20- Do you like music?- Yes.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23Put a record on. Mozart.

0:37:29 > 0:37:32Music to cook by.

0:37:49 > 0:37:53What are you going to tell Dalby?

0:37:53 > 0:37:59- That you like girls.- I do! - You're not the tearaway he thinks you are.

0:37:59 > 0:38:03You also like books, music, cooking.

0:38:03 > 0:38:07I like birds best.

0:38:07 > 0:38:12- How did you get into this game? - My husband was in it.

0:38:12 > 0:38:17- He was killed in Tokyo.- I'm sorry.

0:38:18 > 0:38:24So, they gave me a job. You were bailed out of detention barracks.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Yes.- So, what bailed you in?

0:38:27 > 0:38:34I was stationed in Berlin and making a lot of money out of the German army.

0:38:34 > 0:38:40- They insisted the British Army made an example of me.- What did you do?

0:38:40 > 0:38:45- It's very complicated.- It impressed Ross.- It impressed me.

0:38:45 > 0:38:49Boy, has he got me by the short hairs for it!

0:38:49 > 0:38:55Still, it's better than two years in the nick. The food's terrible there.

0:38:59 > 0:39:05- You're very professional. - So are you.

0:39:05 > 0:39:11- Do you need all that?- It's as easy to cook for two as it is for one.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13I thought you might join me.

0:39:13 > 0:39:18No, thanks. I'm not hungry.

0:39:20 > 0:39:25- You see...- You show me.- It's easy. - PHONE RINGS

0:39:25 > 0:39:30- Get that, will you?- Forget it. We'll go to lunch.- Right.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36- Duty officer.- Who wants him? - Keightley.

0:39:36 > 0:39:40- Pat, it's Harry.- Hello, mate.

0:39:40 > 0:39:46We picked up a bloke. We have a red card on him. Codename Housemartin.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48We'll be right down.

0:39:57 > 0:40:03- Palmer.- Mr Palmer just left, sir, with another gentleman.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06Everything's under control, sir.

0:40:08 > 0:40:13I'm Palmer. Get the keys.

0:40:18 > 0:40:19This way, sir.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31On your feet!

0:40:39 > 0:40:40He's dead, sir.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45Looks as if Bluejay beat us to it.

0:40:45 > 0:40:46I want to see his charge-sheet.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00That's the one, sir.

0:41:00 > 0:41:05Charged with unlawful possession of a suitcase. Where's the suitcase?

0:41:05 > 0:41:12- The other gentleman took it.- What was in it?- Electrical equipment.

0:41:12 > 0:41:17- "Arrested near Sanderson's." What's Sanderson's?- A disused factory.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20- Is that an outside phone?- Yes, sir.

0:41:20 > 0:41:26- 225 Wellington Street.- Calling Dalby?- Up Dalby! I need a TX82.

0:41:26 > 0:41:30- You'll never get it.- I haven't worked for Ross without learning something.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32PHONE RINGS

0:41:32 > 0:41:35Keightley.

0:41:35 > 0:41:38- Pat, it's Harry Palmer.- What's up?

0:41:38 > 0:41:44- Housemartin's dead. I need a TX82. - You need 3H clearance.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47- What's your authority?- CC1.

0:41:47 > 0:41:51CC1? All right, Harry. If you say so.

0:41:51 > 0:41:54Give me the time and place.

0:41:57 > 0:41:592.30. They're late.

0:42:06 > 0:42:10- Palmer?- I'm Palmer.- Right.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Let's go.

0:42:30 > 0:42:34- The men are in position. - Get them away from the door.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Having fun, Inspector?

0:42:55 > 0:43:01- Did you call this TX82, Palmer? - Yes. I think Radcliffe's here. - Get on with it then!

0:43:08 > 0:43:09Lose that door, will you?

0:44:05 > 0:44:09LOUD CLANG

0:44:11 > 0:44:15- I wonder what sort of factory this was.- Search me!

0:44:15 > 0:44:19No-one here, sir. Get the men out of here.

0:44:21 > 0:44:23Get back in your cars, let's go!

0:44:27 > 0:44:32It looks as if this was laid on for nothing. It's not good enough.

0:44:36 > 0:44:40According to Central Clearing this operation was to start at 2.25.

0:44:40 > 0:44:45- You started at 2.35. THAT's not good enough.- Good afternoon.

0:44:59 > 0:45:06- Thank you.- The next time you use CC1 authority make sure you have it!

0:45:10 > 0:45:17It's funny... If Radcliffe had been here, I'd have been a hero.

0:45:18 > 0:45:21He WASN'T. And you're NOT.

0:46:14 > 0:46:18Major! This stove's still warm.

0:46:24 > 0:46:27I found this in it. A piece of recording tape.

0:46:32 > 0:46:37- "Ipcress"?- What? - It's got "Ipcress" written on it.

0:46:37 > 0:46:40Better give it to Chilcott-Oakes.

0:46:40 > 0:46:43This might be something.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47Yes, Palmer, it might.

0:46:50 > 0:46:56- Have you gentlemen had lunch? - No.- No, sir.- I'll buy you some.

0:47:01 > 0:47:07SCREECHING AND WHIRRING

0:47:20 > 0:47:23What do you make of that?

0:47:23 > 0:47:28With a bit more equipment I might be able to make something out of it.

0:47:28 > 0:47:31Keep it within reason.

0:47:31 > 0:47:36- It must mean something. - Hardly worth a TX82, though. Open a file on it, Chico.- Yes, sir.

0:47:39 > 0:47:46- Chico...- And we still have to find Radcliffe! That means more legwork and fewer inspired hunches.

0:48:21 > 0:48:23Good morning, sir.

0:48:24 > 0:48:29Champignons. You're paying ten pence more for a fancy French label.

0:48:29 > 0:48:34You'll get better value on the next shelf.

0:48:34 > 0:48:37These do have a better flavour.

0:48:37 > 0:48:40Of course. You're quite a gourmet.

0:48:44 > 0:48:49- Extraordinary.- I haven't seen you here before, sir.- No.

0:48:49 > 0:48:54I don't really care for these American shopping methods.

0:48:54 > 0:49:00- One has to move with the times, I suppose.- That's nice.- Is it?

0:49:02 > 0:49:07- Settled down with Dalby, have you?- Yes, sir.

0:49:07 > 0:49:12- And the girl Courtenay, too. - You didn't come here...- Excuse me.

0:49:12 > 0:49:15You didn't come here to talk...

0:49:16 > 0:49:21- ..about mushrooms and birds. - Perceptive of you(!)

0:49:22 > 0:49:24May I?

0:49:29 > 0:49:35That tape, you must have a pretty thick file on it now.

0:49:35 > 0:49:36That's right.

0:49:38 > 0:49:42That's baby food, sir.

0:49:43 > 0:49:45- I want to see it.- Why don't you...?

0:49:47 > 0:49:48Sorry.

0:49:51 > 0:49:58- Why don't you ask Dalby for it?- I don't want Dalby to know.- Why not?

0:49:58 > 0:50:05- Don't be impertinent. I want you to do a job for me.- Have I any choice?

0:50:05 > 0:50:11Frankly, no. I don't want the file. I just want it microfilmed.

0:50:16 > 0:50:18Sir...

0:50:20 > 0:50:24- Stick that in my B107.- Very funny.

0:50:24 > 0:50:28- Excuse me, please.- Of course.

0:50:32 > 0:50:37- There are other people, Palmer. - Why don't you try them?

0:50:37 > 0:50:45- Dalby's not to hear about this. - You've already said that, sir.- Or your past will catch up with you.

0:50:45 > 0:50:47Good morning.

0:50:57 > 0:50:59Thank you.

0:51:00 > 0:51:05Champignons. Nothing but the best for our Palmer.

0:51:06 > 0:51:08You're working for Ross.

0:51:09 > 0:51:12He sent you here.

0:51:12 > 0:51:18Don't be silly. I'm working for Dalby. You're working for Ross.

0:51:18 > 0:51:20I'm working for Dalby. You're...

0:51:23 > 0:51:31What the hell ! I'm going to cook you the best meal you've ever eaten.

0:51:39 > 0:51:41That was the most delicious meal.

0:52:01 > 0:52:03Good.

0:52:09 > 0:52:11Do you always wear your glasses?

0:52:11 > 0:52:14Yes.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17Except in bed.

0:52:32 > 0:52:36SCREECHING

0:52:36 > 0:52:40WHIRRING

0:53:04 > 0:53:11- This is my itinerary for the weekend in case you become desperate to see me.- Thank you (!)

0:53:11 > 0:53:17If you spent it with me, we would save ourselves a lot of bother.

0:53:34 > 0:53:35Yours, I take it?

0:53:37 > 0:53:42- I'm sorry to spoil your weekend, but we're working tomorrow.- Saturday?

0:53:46 > 0:53:52- Grantby's discontinued phone number.- Turn it over.

0:53:52 > 0:53:59- The band of the Irish Guards. - And very good they are, too! You'll find it most interesting.

0:53:59 > 0:54:03I'll see you at the bandstand at 3pm.

0:54:12 > 0:54:18LIVELY MILITARY TUNE

0:54:21 > 0:54:26- What's this called? - "The Thin Red Line".

0:54:28 > 0:54:33Good, patriotic stuff! Got a proper rhythm to it.

0:54:35 > 0:54:40- Not your line, eh? - I prefer Bach or Mozart.

0:54:41 > 0:54:44You're lucky. Mozart next.

0:54:46 > 0:54:47Oh, really(?)

0:55:21 > 0:55:29- We are interested in a certain piece of scientific equipment. - The proton scattering device?- Yes.

0:55:29 > 0:55:36- We understand that you hold the sole rights. - I don't hold them personally.

0:55:40 > 0:55:43A fine piece.

0:55:43 > 0:55:51Thank you. We will now play a light and classical overture by Mozart. "The Marriage of Figaro".

0:55:54 > 0:55:59There's a delicacy and precision about Mozart's work.

0:55:59 > 0:56:05- Transcribes well from the orchestra to military band. Don't you agree? - Oh, yes.

0:56:07 > 0:56:15- I might be able to arrange those rights for you. - We're prepared to buy. £15,000?

0:56:15 > 0:56:21- This is not a clearance sale! I can get a better price elsewhere.- 20?

0:56:23 > 0:56:27- 25.- Agreed.- Cash.

0:56:29 > 0:56:32Here are the delivery arrangements.

0:56:39 > 0:56:44Very neat. Must we sit through any more of this torture?

0:56:44 > 0:56:48- I have a lot to do. - They're playing well.

0:56:48 > 0:56:49Tell me who wins(!)

1:00:01 > 1:00:02Look out!

1:01:12 > 1:01:16Congratulations(!) You've killed an American agent.

1:01:30 > 1:01:37The CIA should have let us know they had a tail on Grantby. That'll teach them.

1:01:40 > 1:01:42How is Radcliffe?

1:01:44 > 1:01:48He doesn't remember being lifted. Physically he seems all right.

1:01:48 > 1:01:55- He just needs some rest. - Keep the S1 surveillance on him. - I'll use Palmer.

1:01:58 > 1:01:59Do you think that's wise?

1:02:03 > 1:02:05You know your own business best.

1:02:08 > 1:02:12Pretty good tea. Good morning.

1:02:30 > 1:02:32Thank you.

1:02:35 > 1:02:38- Did you find it interesting?- Yes.

1:02:44 > 1:02:51- Have you seen their collection of portrait miniatures?- No. - Then we must go again.- Yes.

1:02:59 > 1:03:02Sorry to keep you waiting.

1:03:08 > 1:03:10I think we'll make it.

1:03:19 > 1:03:23- Out of breath, Doctor? - I'm fine, Palmer.- In you go.

1:03:30 > 1:03:35Delighted to see you. I'm sorry I'm late, Sir Robert. Not at all.

1:03:35 > 1:03:40I'll say my few words and leave you to it.

1:03:41 > 1:03:46Ladies and gentlemen, you've probably heard something

1:03:48 > 1:03:52about Dr Radcliffe's proton-scattering experiments.

1:03:52 > 1:03:56It is largely due to Dr Radcliffe

1:03:56 > 1:04:02that control of the fusion of hydrogen atoms is getting

1:04:02 > 1:04:05appreciably nearer every day.

1:04:05 > 1:04:08It is with great pleasure

1:04:08 > 1:04:14that I ask Dr Radcliffe to give us his account of his latest work.

1:04:14 > 1:04:17Thank you, Sir Robert.

1:04:17 > 1:04:20Ladies and gentlemen...

1:04:23 > 1:04:29Today, I shall be dealing with a new meson production method,

1:04:29 > 1:04:31which stems from the result...

1:04:31 > 1:04:34FAINT SCREECHING AND WHIRRING

1:04:34 > 1:04:38..a new...meson production...

1:04:42 > 1:04:44A new...

1:04:44 > 1:04:47..meson...pro...duction...

1:04:47 > 1:04:51Dr Radcliffe, are you all right?

1:05:06 > 1:05:08Hold it right there.

1:05:10 > 1:05:13Over against the wall.

1:05:15 > 1:05:21- Don't move a muscle.- You British are supposed to be subtle. - Yes, like you(!)

1:05:21 > 1:05:27- Trigger-happy.- Why are you here? - I'm tailing you. - Why?- You killed one of our men.

1:05:34 > 1:05:36Open it.

1:05:42 > 1:05:45- Why did you kill him? - He came straight at me.

1:05:45 > 1:05:50That's what Dalby said. What do you know about Grantby?

1:05:50 > 1:05:58- Nothing.- I'm going to tail you till I know you're clean. If you're not clean...

1:06:00 > 1:06:03I'm going to kill you.

1:06:35 > 1:06:38There you are, Dalby.

1:06:38 > 1:06:42We'll lunch at my club. We can walk there.

1:06:42 > 1:06:48- Good bit of lunch at your club? - Not bad. The Dover sole's rather good.

1:06:53 > 1:06:58- Have you seen the medical report on Radcliffe?- No.

1:06:58 > 1:07:05The psychiatrists say that he is suffering from a form of amnesia. Physically he is normal.

1:07:05 > 1:07:12But he can no longer function as a physicist. That part of his life is a blank.

1:07:12 > 1:07:17Scientist suddenly becoming nonproductive, eh?

1:07:17 > 1:07:21- Seems to fit in with your brain drain idea.- Yes.

1:07:21 > 1:07:25- What's our next move?- Grantby.

1:07:26 > 1:07:31What sticks in my craw is that he sold us damaged goods.

1:07:31 > 1:07:38- I've sent Palmer to try to get the money back.- Grantby won't do the right thing(!)

1:07:38 > 1:07:43- Shall I pull him in then? - No, I wouldn't advise that.

1:07:43 > 1:07:49- Play him a little. - He could easily give us the slip.

1:07:49 > 1:07:53- We'll take that risk. - If you say so.

1:07:57 > 1:08:00- Incidentally...- Hm?

1:08:00 > 1:08:06- The Americans have put a tail on Palmer.- How tiresome of them.

1:08:06 > 1:08:09If he's clean he has nothing to worry about.

1:08:09 > 1:08:16And if he isn't, the Americans will take care of him and save us a lot of bother.

1:08:25 > 1:08:29- Major Dalby sent me to see you. - Indeed? Too tired to come himself?- No.

1:08:30 > 1:08:37It seems that you have been slightly dishonest, Mr Grantby. You sold us damaged goods.

1:08:37 > 1:08:44I merely agreed to deliver. His condition is not my concern.

1:08:44 > 1:08:46We would like our money back.

1:08:46 > 1:08:53No. I'm merely a pipeline. You don't know this business but you'll learn.

1:09:11 > 1:09:14- Harry.- What?- Come here a minute.

1:09:24 > 1:09:29- What?- Round here. I want to show you something.

1:09:31 > 1:09:39"Induction of Psychoneuroses By Conditioned Reflex Under Stress".

1:09:39 > 1:09:46- What does that mean? - It means I know why 17 scientists ceased to function.

1:09:46 > 1:09:54- Yes?- Look again, boy. I-P-C-R-E-S-S.

1:09:54 > 1:09:55Ipcress!

1:09:59 > 1:10:03- Have you got your car outside? - Yes.- I'm going to see Radcliffe.

1:10:03 > 1:10:10I want to try a wee experiment. Take a look at it when I'm away. Be sure to lock it up after you.

1:10:41 > 1:10:44CAR HORNS

1:10:52 > 1:10:54PHONE RING

1:10:56 > 1:10:58Oh, hello, Pat.

1:10:58 > 1:11:00Yeah, this is Harry. What is it?

1:11:09 > 1:11:11Yes.

1:11:14 > 1:11:17Thank you.

1:12:04 > 1:12:06Jock's dead.

1:12:08 > 1:12:11He was shot in my car.

1:12:11 > 1:12:17- That American agent must have thought it was me.- Move in with me.

1:12:17 > 1:12:20Yes. I'll go and get my things.

1:12:41 > 1:12:43Come on, I'll drop you off.

1:13:55 > 1:14:01Palmer here, Major. I must talk to you at once.

1:14:01 > 1:14:04..Very. ..No, I can't talk on the telephone.

1:14:04 > 1:14:10I must see you. ..Yes, I know T108.

1:14:30 > 1:14:37- I hope this won't take too long. - There's a dead American agent in my flat.

1:14:37 > 1:14:44- You killed him?- Someone is trying to frame me.- Who'd want to do that?

1:14:44 > 1:14:51Jock Carswell got somewhere with the Ipcress file and showed me. His killer is framing me.

1:14:51 > 1:14:54Can you prove it?

1:14:54 > 1:14:58- The file was stolen from my desk. - By Grantby(!)

1:14:58 > 1:15:03- No. Ross.- Ross?- He once asked me

1:15:03 > 1:15:06to microfilm the Ipcress file.

1:15:06 > 1:15:12- Why didn't you tell me this before? - He would have put me back in jail.

1:15:12 > 1:15:15- When does your cleaner arrive?- 9am.

1:15:15 > 1:15:22That gives you 12 hours. I'll sort this out. Lose yourself.

1:15:22 > 1:15:26Someone is trying to frame me. You've got to help me.

1:15:26 > 1:15:28You're too hot!

1:15:39 > 1:15:46- Harry, they might be watching you. - I'll be watching for them.

1:15:46 > 1:15:50I'll miss that train.

1:16:10 > 1:16:13See you.

1:16:17 > 1:16:20SHE LOCKS THE DOOR

1:16:42 > 1:16:44Col Ross, please.

1:16:44 > 1:16:48TANNOY: The train about to leave platform 14

1:16:48 > 1:16:51will connect with the transcontinental express

1:16:53 > 1:16:58travelling via Prague and Budapest.

1:17:00 > 1:17:02Thank you.

1:17:27 > 1:17:30I'd like a word with you, sir.

1:17:38 > 1:17:44- Palmer's found a dead American agent in his flat.- Did he do it?

1:17:44 > 1:17:48He claims he's been framed.

1:17:48 > 1:17:50Where is he now?

1:17:50 > 1:17:57I don't know. He said that you had expressed an interest in the Ipcress file.

1:17:57 > 1:18:01Your department has suddenly developed a high casualty rate.

1:18:01 > 1:18:03I wonder why(!)

1:18:03 > 1:18:05Pick up Grantby.

1:18:05 > 1:18:08- I suggested that earlier.- Do it now.

1:18:20 > 1:18:23KNOCK ON DOOR

1:18:23 > 1:18:25Billets!

1:18:29 > 1:18:32- Yes?- Tickets, please.

1:22:10 > 1:22:16- Lie still, please.- What's the matter with these zombies? Can't they speak?

1:22:16 > 1:22:20You don't speak English in Albania.

1:22:22 > 1:22:26- Albania?- The land of my fathers.

1:22:32 > 1:22:38This starving and freezing won't work with me, Grantby.

1:22:38 > 1:22:42- No?- No.

1:22:42 > 1:22:48- I can resist it. I read the file. - I know. That's why you're here.

1:22:56 > 1:23:00We'll start the treatment in two days.

1:23:09 > 1:23:12Wake up!

1:23:15 > 1:23:17All right.

1:23:30 > 1:23:35- How are you feeling? - You tell me, doctor.- Do sit down.

1:24:06 > 1:24:07He's ready.

1:25:15 > 1:25:17NOISE CEASES

1:25:24 > 1:25:30- The Gestapo used to beat a man for months to get him to this state. - That's crude.

1:25:30 > 1:25:32And so slow.

1:25:36 > 1:25:39Relax.

1:25:39 > 1:25:43Relax. You are getting sleepy.

1:25:43 > 1:25:47Quite relaxed.

1:25:47 > 1:25:50Listen to my voice.

1:25:50 > 1:25:54Nothing but my voice.

1:25:57 > 1:26:00You will forget the Ipcress noise.

1:26:02 > 1:26:06You will forget all about the Ipcress file.

1:26:08 > 1:26:12You will forget your name.

1:26:13 > 1:26:18Harry Palmer. My name is Harry Palmer.

1:26:18 > 1:26:20You have no name.

1:26:20 > 1:26:25Harry Palmer. My name is Harry Palmer.

1:26:25 > 1:26:30- No name.- My name is Harry Palmer.

1:26:32 > 1:26:35My name is HARRY PALMER.

1:26:35 > 1:26:39He's using pain to distract himself.

1:26:43 > 1:26:45Get him down.

1:26:53 > 1:26:56See that there's padding on those straps next time.

1:26:56 > 1:27:00- To make it easy for me(?)- For ME.

1:27:09 > 1:27:12- He is difficult.- He'll respond.

1:27:12 > 1:27:18Every time he falls asleep wake him up and bring him here.

1:28:19 > 1:28:24RATTLE OF KEY IN THE LOCK

1:29:45 > 1:29:47Heavy as lead.

1:29:47 > 1:29:52You will try but you can't open your eyes.

1:29:53 > 1:30:00You have forgotten the Ipcress noise. You have forgotten the Ipcress file.

1:34:34 > 1:34:39- This is Palmer.- Where are you?

1:34:41 > 1:34:46- I'm in a call-box at Austin's Wharf Lane.- Just a minute.

1:34:46 > 1:34:49He's broken out.

1:34:49 > 1:34:54- Is he programmed?- I'd have preferred a few more treatments.

1:34:54 > 1:34:57Try him.

1:34:57 > 1:35:01Now listen to me. Listen to me.

1:35:01 > 1:35:05- Are you listening?- Yes.

1:35:05 > 1:35:10Phone Col. Ross and ask him to meet you at the warehouse.

1:35:10 > 1:35:14I will meet you there.

1:35:14 > 1:35:17Now listen to me. Listen to me.

1:35:17 > 1:35:24Do it now. Then hang up and forget what I have just said.

1:36:03 > 1:36:06A CLICK

1:36:13 > 1:36:16Palmer?

1:36:22 > 1:36:24Palmer!

1:36:29 > 1:36:35Stop, Major. Don't say a word or I'll kill you.

1:36:38 > 1:36:41Shut the door.

1:36:42 > 1:36:46Now, don't say a word. Not a word.

1:37:06 > 1:37:08Right, over here.

1:38:05 > 1:38:06Shut up!

1:38:12 > 1:38:15You didn't tell me Dalby would be here.

1:39:36 > 1:39:39What has happened to you, Palmer?

1:39:39 > 1:39:41One of you knows exactly what has happened to me.

1:39:41 > 1:39:45One of you is a double-agent.

1:39:45 > 1:39:50You're right. Who wanted you to microfilm the Ipcress file?

1:39:52 > 1:39:55I did that to test you.

1:39:55 > 1:39:58Ross killed Carswell.

1:39:58 > 1:39:59Ridiculous!

1:40:02 > 1:40:06Ross couldn't have known Carswell had cracked the Ipcress file.

1:40:06 > 1:40:08Courtenay told him.

1:40:11 > 1:40:17- Jean was working for you?- Yes. I'd suspected this one for some time.

1:40:19 > 1:40:27It won't work, Ross. You used Courtenay just as you tried to use Palmer.

1:40:27 > 1:40:32Ross killed the CIA man. He framed you.

1:40:33 > 1:40:34You bastard.

1:40:34 > 1:40:39Oh, dear. You used to call me a passed-over major.

1:40:44 > 1:40:48Now listen to me. Listen to me.

1:40:49 > 1:40:51Shoot Ross.

1:40:59 > 1:41:03Shoot the traitor NOW !

1:41:46 > 1:41:51I was counting on you being an insubordinate bastard.

1:41:51 > 1:41:53You used me as a decoy.

1:41:55 > 1:42:00- I might have been killed or driven stark-raving mad. - That's what you're paid for.

1:42:15 > 1:42:17Thank you.
