Ah! We haven't met. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
I'm putting out rubbish. Obsessively. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
-Do you want me to take it downstairs for you? -No, no, no, it's fine. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
I'll do it later. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
-I've been living here for a year and I've never caught sight of you. I'm Nancy Pierpan. -Johnny Worricker. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
-How do you do? -I'm wondering if I could ask you in for a drink. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
But you seem to have company. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
Exactly. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:00 | |
That is why I am asking you in. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
So you've started a website? | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
That's right. It's a place where people can make contact. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
People find it easier to talk through a machine than they do direct. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
Is that so? | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
Couples talk best in the car because they're side by side. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
-They don't have to look at each other. -Was it you who noticed that? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
It was my mum actually. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
Well, this has been nice, but bad news, Ralph, I'm going to have throw you out. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
What do you mean, right now? | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
It's my fault. I'd completely forgotten that I'd promised to talk to Johnny about his novel. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-Johnny writes novels? -Yes. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
-Am I going to see you soon? -Of course. I'm going to call you. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:47 | |
It was great to see where you live. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
Yes. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
It was nice for me too. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
Oh, God. I'm so sorry. I want to apologise. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
No need to apologise. I assume you asked the young man back and then changed your mind. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
-Yes. That's what happened. -Whose novel is that? | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
I would love it if you'd stay and have a glass of wine with me. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
I can't. I've to go home. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:14 | |
It's because I'm out of practice. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
You'll have to explain. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
Well, it's been a long time since I asked anyone back. And, um... | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
Has this ever happened to you? | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
That you suddenly realise you've made a mistake? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
Huh! | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 | |
And then | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
I saw you on the landing it | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
was like you were sent from God. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
It's very strange that I've never seen you before. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
Do you live on your own? | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
I've got to work tonight, if that's all right. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
Oh, God. I'm so sorry. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:46 | |
Call me if it happens again. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
It won't happen again. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
What are you thinking, Johnny? | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
What have you been thinking? | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
Why did you ask me what was I thinking? | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
It's unbelievable, someone who's meant to be responsible, someone who's meant to be my boss. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
I thought it was funny. No need to tell me. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
Well, it isn't funny. Not in a fucking lift. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
Anger management, Johnny. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
I can send you on a course if you like. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
I don't ask you, "What are you thinking?" | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
Because my mind's a perfect blank. That's why. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
Things are that bad I got home last night and watched the X Factor. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
Yesterday was Tuesday, X factor's Saturday, so I know you're lying. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
Not lying. Testing. | 0:04:58 | 0:04:59 | |
-Jill. -Morning, boys. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
I'm coming your way in half an hour. Jill's office. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
Morning, Muna. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
Good morning. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
So, there's an awful lot of stuff going on. An awful lot of traffic. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
What does that mean? Intercepts? | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
Among other things. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:23 | |
This building is swimming in information. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
We have information coming out of our ears. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
-So? -So the difficult thing is to notice when someone finally tells you something important. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:36 | |
No reaction. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
He thinks he can be rude to me. He thinks he can treat me how he wants because we had a wife in common. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:45 | |
-In my case, a long time ago. -All your wives were a long time ago. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
-Is Jill "need to know" on my wives? -Everyone knows about your wives. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:53 | |
So, my point is this. I've called the two of you together. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
I want to share a source. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
And before we go any further, God's very excited. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
-Why's God excited? -I suppose like all Home Secretaries, God can't resist a file marked Top Secret. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:08 | |
You're going to read this and you're going to think, "Hold on, | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
"the Americans are meant to be our allies." | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
-I've never suffered from that delusion. -Johnny doesn't believe in the special relationship, do you? | 0:06:14 | 0:06:19 | |
They're not what you'd call sharing partners, are they? | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
Even you can't claim to have read it already. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
I've seen certain words. I gather we're back in the Middle East. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
We're always in the Middle East. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
I don't like faith jobs. I don't like anything to do with faith. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
Still got no faith yourself, Johnny? | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
The sun will rise in the morning. I'm going to have a drink at six. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
-That's my faith. -Really? Lot of people in your church are there? | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
Most people. Most people are in my church. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
You're going to want to talk to me when you've read it properly. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:47 | |
This country's under threat. It's under serious threat. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
Our problem is we can't always tell you the nature of the threat. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
If we did, we'd be giving away intelligence and that's not something I'm willing to... | 0:06:53 | 0:06:58 | |
-This is a bit close, isn't it? This place is a bit close? -Rollo. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
-I thought this place was crawling with professionals? -That's why we're eating at 11:30. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
No-one'll see us, except your friends. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
How are you, Johnny? | 0:07:36 | 0:07:37 | |
-I'm well, Rollo. And yourself? -Trying to get used to my new profession. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:42 | |
I was hoping you could help me with an inquiry. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
What inquiry is that? | 0:07:44 | 0:07:45 | |
She's called Nancy Pierpan. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
Then she has a beautiful name. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
-Do you know anything about her? -Are we going to do business before we have lunch? | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
We're going to do business over lunch. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
And you're not going to let me have a drink first? | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
-Sei stupendo. -Grazie. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
Anche tu stai benissimo... | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
Sempre fedele allo stesso uomo? | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
Che barba... | 0:08:02 | 0:08:03 | |
-He's putting on weight. -Well, you would know. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
You haven't asked me about my new job. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
-I read what you write, but some of it goes over my head. -Really? | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
Don't you have a double first? | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
I'm not really clever, Rollo. I don't have what they call a first-class mind. You were first-class. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:21 | |
Sure. Look where it got me. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
-I'm a journalist. -You're a journalist who still works for us. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
-Do I? -Don't you get the cheques? | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
What are the cheques going to get me - a house in Tuscany? | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
When? With whom? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
What with a waiter? | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
Can't you go and do some sort of profile on her? | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
I work on the foreign desk, what possible interest would I have in Nancy Pierpan? | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
-So you do know who she is. -You were always quick, Johnny. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
Not too clever right enough, but you are quick. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
-England's a small country, isn't it? -You tell me. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
I mean, multi-cultural, sure. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
More chaps named Shah and Patel. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
But nothing's really changed. It's run by the same old crowd. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
Is it? I don't know who runs England. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
The bankers did and look what happened to them. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
What I'm saying is, there are still an awful lot of people named Baron and Worricker. And Pierpan. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:06 | |
Nancy was born in Damascus. Her father is an Arabist. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
What sort of Arabist? | 0:09:12 | 0:09:13 | |
Romance of the desert, that sort of thing? Lawrence of Arabia? | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
-Why do you need to know? -Because she's taking an interest in me. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
What sort of an interest? | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Making a play? Is she making a play? | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
She was putting out the rubbish. She pretended it was a coincidence. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
Well, aren't you flattered? | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
No. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
What's the file? Are you going to show it to me? | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
Do you know? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:41 | |
I don't think I am! | 0:09:43 | 0:09:44 | |
What is this? They're saying I need a new pass, I was given a temporary. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
-What's going on? -Are you going to throw a wobbly? | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
-Of course I'm not going to throw a wobbly. When was the last time I threw a wobbly? -7/7. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
Exactly. I threw a wobbly because suicide bombers killed 56 people on | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
the streets of London and we had no idea it was going to happen. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
I didn't throw a wobbly because my pass had been blocked. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
No. You're really sweet. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
Who changes the passes? Who orders the passes to be changed? | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
Who do you think? | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
What did you think of the file? | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
-What did I think of it? -Yes. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
I haven't finished it yet. I haven't absorbed it. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
I hardly need say, on no account is that file to leave the premises. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
Gold standard. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:58 | |
I didn't know if you'd make it. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
-I promised I'd make it, didn't I? -I thought you were abroad. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
-Who told you that? -Mum. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:01 | |
Mum said that. She always knows where you are. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
Does she? Paranormal, is she? | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
Psychic? | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
-Hey, Dad. -Hello. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
You're going to have to explain these to me. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
Do you want to have dinner afterwards? | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
I thought you'd have lots of young men. Attendant. You don't want to have dinner with me. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
Don't I? | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
I hate these things more than you do. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
-Hello, Johnny. -Max, my goodness, what are you doing here? -I collect. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:54 | |
I collect your famous daughter. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
In fact, if there's anything you can do to get me a family price... | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
-You still where you used to be? -Of course I am. I like it. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
Why would I change? And you, Max? | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
Defence? Defence procurement? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
It's one business that's never going to suffer. Recession-proof. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
Oh, these days I also raise a little money for the Party. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
Don't look at me, I'm apolitical. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
You're a-everything, aren't you, Johnny? | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
You're going to have to choose sides one day. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
Remember, people get killed in the middle of the road. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
-Did you get my invitation? -Did I? Remind me. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
-I wrote to you, college reunion. -Oh, yes, I think I did get something. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
-Give me a card, I'll call you. -I don't have a card. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
I have a website. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
Wake up, Johnny. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
21st century. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
You again. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
You seem to be everywhere. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:50 | |
Why are you surprised? That's my business. Knowing people. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
Including your daughter. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
Beautiful. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
That's what I do, remember? Put people in touch. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
By the way, how did Nancy like your book? | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
How many novels have you written? | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
Why do you want to know? | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
I'm asking you. I'm asking you a civil question. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
It's my first. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
So... | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
You haven't said what you thought. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:25 | |
-No. -Why not? | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
-Don't look at me like that. -Why not? | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
Because I never could refuse you. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
You could tell me the truth. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:40 | |
For once in your life, you might try telling me the truth. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
Only if you insist. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
I insist. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
All right. They look like works of despair. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
If the despair isn't real, then I don't like them because they're fake. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:57 | |
They're unfelt. They're avant-garde protest and nothing more. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
But if the despair is real, | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
then that hurts too because... | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
Because you're my daughter and I don't want you to suffer. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:11 | |
They're not fake. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
That's what I thought. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
So, what bothers you? If I'm unhappy, it's your fault? | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
They make you feel guilty? | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
The absent father? The evasive father? | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
The pictures are morbid. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
They're morbid, Julianne. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
OK, I can see it may be my problem. To do with getting older. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
But why do you want to piss on life before you've even lived it? | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
I don't think you should say any more. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
-I was wondering... -Yep? | 0:15:54 | 0:15:55 | |
That young man you were talking to? | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
-Which one? -I think his name's Ralph. Ralph Wilson. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:03 | |
You're working. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
Fuck, you're not even talking to me. You're working. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
-Oh, come on, let me take you home. -No. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
I don't want you anywhere near me. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:19 | |
Do you have any honest relationships at all? | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
How did I know? How did I know this? | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
Know what? | 0:16:55 | 0:16:56 | |
That you would come to my door. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
You look unhappy. Do you want some company? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
I'll come to your place. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
I'm getting red wine. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
I'd prefer whisky. Do you mind? | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
You had a rough day. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
So how old's your daughter, then? | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
She's... Let's see, mid-twenties. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
I split up from her mother when Julianne was very young. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
Here you go. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
That's not true. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
I'm going to tell you the truth. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
I split up with her when she was pregnant. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
Why did you do that? | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
-Because I was in love with someone else. -Do you fall in love easily? | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
Perhaps that's why my daughter doesn't trust me. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
It was hard for her, | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
watching her father keep losing his heart. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
-Children don't like that. -No. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
Tonight I felt I had the right to say what I thought about her work. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:53 | |
Clearly I didn't. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
Same thing's true with writers. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
You can say what you like about their personalities because they | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
think, "Oh, I can change, I can improve." But work's different. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
-What about you? -Me? | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
Isn't your father a writer? | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
Joseph Pierpan? | 0:18:15 | 0:18:16 | |
Writer and activist, yeah. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
It must be odd having a famous father. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
I'm actually surprised you've heard of him. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
Just how famous can you be in Syria? | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
You were born in Damascus? | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
Yes. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
My brother was killed by the Israelis. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
When? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
Two years ago. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
What was he doing? | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
Waving a white flag. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
Trying to stop the Israelis from knocking down a house. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
The Israelis were building a wall through the occupied territories. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
The wall went right through the house. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
Been in that part of the world? | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
What were you doing? | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
-Oh, you know. -No, I don't know. You're going to have to tell me. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:10 | |
-I was on holiday. -On the West Bank?! | 0:19:10 | 0:19:14 | |
Where else do you go on holiday? | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
Darfur? Afghanistan? | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
Maybe this is the moment... | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
..to tell me what's going on. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
Nothing's going on. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:29 | |
My life was changed when my brother was killed. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
He was killed by the Israeli Defence Force. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
Nothing they say makes... | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
any sense. We don't believe a word of the official inquiry. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
So... | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
It's hard enough to grieve, isn't it? | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
I mean, | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
grief is hard enough anyway, but... | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
When you don't know the truth... | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
Everything freezes and you can't move on. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
All right, let's just forget about it. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
I asked you in for a drink, that's all. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
I'm like you, I go to work, I get through the day. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:23 | |
Since Jake died I haven't been interested in making friends. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
Please, it's nothing dramatic, and I'm not asking for anything. But... | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
..you seem a nice man. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
You see. It's almost unbearable. The way she looks. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:52 | |
She's so desperately in love with Lester Young, she can scarcely bear it when he plays. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:59 | |
# He wears high-draped pants... # | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
All the same... | 0:21:08 | 0:21:09 | |
# Stripes are yellow... # | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
She doesn't forget when it's her turn. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
# He wears high-draped pants... # | 0:21:16 | 0:21:20 | |
Julianne, I wish I could find you. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
I wish I knew where you were. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:25 | |
I made a fool of myself tonight... | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
..and it's not the first time. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
You were right to be angry. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
All right. Let's start the bloody meeting. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
God knows you're hard enough to get hold of you, Benedict. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
You're far grander than I am. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
Would you like me to get you a cup of coffee, Home Secretary? | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
-Some mineral water? -I had no idea you were going to be invited, Johnny. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
Well, I am. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
This is going to need long hours, Minister, it's going to need expertise and judgment. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
As my mother used to say, a problem shared is a problem halved. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
So, what's your next move? | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
Give the whole thing to the Daily Mirror? Post it on the internet? | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
-I'm trying hard not to be offended, Home Secretary. -Please try. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
Home Secretary, do you want to come back in and re-start this meeting at a lower level of tension? | 0:22:36 | 0:22:41 | |
I don't know about anyone else but I've got a heart condition. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
I've got fatty deposits on my arteries. I have a stent. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
Benedict, I can take this file out of the room, cross the river to SIS | 0:22:47 | 0:22:51 | |
and your department will be royally fucked. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
The service has been royally fucked many times - usually by | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
your government jumping on us like Rover with a hard-on - and we've always survived the experience. | 0:22:56 | 0:23:01 | |
Oi! Out. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
With respect, Minister, politicians come and go. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
I've counted them in and I've counted them out. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
And if you want to get rid of me, you can. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
That's on the record, by the way. I'd like to go walking in Patagonia. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
I've heard the wild life is extraordinary. Johnny went. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
-I did. -He loved it. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
So, if you want a new DG, go ahead, get one. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
I'll gather up my whole family and take them on a packet boat to Antarctica. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:29 | |
And a double bonus, I won't be around for the end of the Atlantic alliance. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:34 | |
Anthea, it won't have happened on my watch. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
OK, what are the Americans up to? | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
The Americans are up to what we always suspected they were up to. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
This is different. This is proof. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
If this is true, they have prisoners all over the world who don't officially exist on black sites. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:51 | |
-So it appears. -Unknown sites that don't exist either. -Not officially. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
These prisoners are telling them things, which they then don't have the courtesy to tell us. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:58 | |
Worse than that. Specifically, the Americans are failing to | 0:23:58 | 0:24:02 | |
keep us abreast of things that are happening on our own doorstep. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
Dangerous things. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
If we're willing to trust intelligence obtained by torture. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
Quite. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
-Where did you get this? -Well, I thought that might be your next question. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
-It is my next question. -I thought it might be. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
And don't give me any of that Jesuitical bullshit about not revealing your sources. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
I can't reveal my sources. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
Benedict, you and I can play the game... | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
Seems like we've already begun. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
But, at the end of the road, you work for me. Remember, people don't vote for you, they vote for me. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:32 | |
They don't like the people who work in the dark. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
They don't know the people who work in the dark. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
And if they did, would they be reassured? | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
My view is we go to the Americans. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
-No. -We speak to the Americans direct. -No. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
We tell them we know what they know, | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
that they have a network of sites where they're illegally detaining and torturing prisoners. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
We frighten them by naming the sites. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
Thailand, Afghanistan, Morocco, Poland, Romania. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
Show them we're not idiots. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
-Why not? -Because. -Because what? | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
Because you're going to tell your allies that they've been lying to you. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
-You have to think through the implications. -Are you saying I haven't? | 0:25:06 | 0:25:10 | |
You also have to remember that going back to the Americans might endanger my source. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
You'd need my permission. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
-What would you prefer me to do? -Right now? -Yes. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
-If it were my call? -Please. Imagine that. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
Right now I'd prefer you to do nothing. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
If you want me to do nothing, why did you give me the file? | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
Because I don't want you to be able to say I didn't give you the file. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
-Further down the road? -Exactly. I answer to you. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:39 | |
You gave me the file so that I would do nothing? | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
I gave you the file so that you would know everything. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
Makes sense. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:47 | |
-Johnny Worricker thinks it makes sense. -Johnny's an excellent judge. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
Weak on tactics occasionally but strong on strategy. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
Is that what you think? You back Johnny, do you? | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
Johnny's my best friend. Since Cambridge. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
Well, then perhaps "best friend" can tell us what the argument for doing nothing is. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:02 | |
The argument for doing nothing, minister, is that, as yet, you know so little. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:08 | |
-And you shouldn't move until you know more. -Continue. -One simple thing. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
Her Majesty's Government has always denied complicity in torture. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
You've stood up in Parliament many times. You've said it in the press. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
Changing the story is going to be embarrassing. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
Well, it's only going to be embarrassing if people find out. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
How will they find out? | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
Why would this intelligence leave this room? Who here would leak it? | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
-I hope that question answers itself. -I hope it does. I hope so too. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:36 | |
And, anyway, remember, I thought the claims were true at the time. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:41 | |
When I made the claims, I didn't know they were untrue. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
That may or may not be sufficient defence. These things can get messy. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:49 | |
Politically. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
-And? -What? | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
You said, "One simple thing." What's the second simple thing? | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
Oh. I haven't talked to Benedict about this, minister. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
So? Does "best friend" need permission to speak? | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
Very well, it's this. Has anyone actually read this thing? | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
I don't mean cast your eyes over it. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
I mean, read it. Jill..? | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
Yes, I believe I've read it. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
-Home Secretary, you say you didn't know the Americans had these prisoners. -I didn't know. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:17 | |
And you had no proof they'd been torturing them. I take your word. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
But perhaps someone else in your government did. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
-Someone else? -Take another look at the bottom of page eight. -Page eight? | 0:27:23 | 0:27:28 | |
-Yes. -What's on page eight? | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
You haven't read it, have you? I thought not. Page eight, please. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:34 | |
American source quoted saying, "Downing Street already knows about this." | 0:27:41 | 0:27:49 | |
I imagine that's what's | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
bothering Benedict. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
There are two possibilities, aren't there? | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
Either our source is wrong and the Americans lied to all of us, | 0:28:15 | 0:28:21 | |
in which case Downing Street is going to be furious. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
Or our source is right and the Prime Minister knew everything all along. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:31 | |
He just didn't bother to tell you. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
Now, I'm not sure which of those two possibilities you prefer. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:42 | |
-It's been an interesting meeting. -Thank you. It has indeed. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
I'm going to do as you suggest and leave this for a day or two. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:54 | |
-Fine. -Johnny? | 0:28:54 | 0:28:56 | |
-Fine. -We'll re-convene. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:57 | |
Anna will be in touch. | 0:28:57 | 0:28:59 | |
You keep staring at that painting. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:04 | |
It's from the Government art collection. Don't blame me. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:07 | |
-I didn't choose it. -Actually, it was painted by my daughter. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:11 | |
Christ, then you're in more trouble than I am! | 0:29:11 | 0:29:14 | |
Thank you. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:21 | |
I'm glad you said that. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:25 | |
-I'm sorry? -About page eight. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
I was hoping someone would say it and I'm glad it was you. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
Oh, OK. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
I wasn't sure. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:34 | |
I wasn't sure whether to speak. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:36 | |
No, it was a good move. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:38 | |
It means the game's in play. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:40 | |
You. I need to talk to you. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:43 | |
I need a word. Urgently. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:45 | |
Not here. Somewhere discreet. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:49 | |
Traditionally, it's the stationery cupboard. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
-What were you doing? -When? -At that meeting. What were you up to? -What was I up to? -Yes. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:12 | |
I'm an intelligence analyst, I was analysing intelligence. What's wrong with that? | 0:30:12 | 0:30:16 | |
First thing wrong - you never mentioned it. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
You blurt out this extraordinary allegation before you talk to us? Before you tell us? | 0:30:19 | 0:30:23 | |
What's happened to you - suddenly you can't speak? Well? | 0:30:23 | 0:30:27 | |
Do you know the source? Do you trust the source? | 0:30:29 | 0:30:31 | |
-Of course I don't know the source. I don't need to. -You don't need to? | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
Jill, if Ben says it's good, it's good. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
Oh, right, I forgot! You were at college together. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
That just about sums up this whole fucking place. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:43 | |
What's the problem, Jill? I don't get the problem. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:46 | |
When are you going to wake up? There's a revolution going on and you haven't noticed. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:51 | |
-What sort of revolution? -You live in the past. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:53 | |
You still think there's something called pure intelligence. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:57 | |
The world has changed. Brits are being killed by Brits, on British streets. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:01 | |
Fuck! | 0:31:03 | 0:31:04 | |
-If you don't know what I'm saying, I'm not spelling it out. -Why would you spell it out? | 0:31:04 | 0:31:08 | |
Get your hands off. I'm not one of your conquests. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:11 | |
Are you going to charge me with assault in a cupboard? You asked me in. I'll counter-sue for enticement. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:17 | |
Sure. If you're still here next week. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:20 | |
-TV: -The Prime Minister, Alec Beasley, today described Britain and America | 0:31:25 | 0:31:29 | |
as two countries with shared values and common purposes. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
Nothing, he said, could divide our two countries in the worldwide fight against terror. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:36 | |
The Prime Minister is visiting Washington at the request of the President. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:40 | |
Well, it's great to be here. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
For me it's a home from home. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:44 | |
Oh, I see. What, you're just going to go home? | 0:31:51 | 0:31:55 | |
Yes, d'you mind? I was thinking of going home. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:58 | |
It's choir practice in 40 minutes and the M4 is hell. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:02 | |
-And you're not going to tell me what you're up to? -Me? | 0:32:02 | 0:32:06 | |
-Yes, Ben. -What am I up to? | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
-That's my question. -It's pretty obvious, I'd have thought. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:11 | |
I've put a bomb in the water and I'm waiting to see where the dead fish land. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:16 | |
And you didn't think it best to warn me first? | 0:32:16 | 0:32:19 | |
Or am I one of the fish? | 0:32:19 | 0:32:21 | |
If you don't trust me, Ben, who DO you trust? | 0:32:24 | 0:32:29 | |
Distrust's a terrible habit, do you find that? | 0:32:36 | 0:32:39 | |
There's a fine line, isn't there, between calculation and deceit? | 0:32:39 | 0:32:44 | |
Must do better. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:47 | |
You're right. I should have shown you page eight. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
Johnny, I'm sorry. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:56 | |
Good. Tomorrow, we're going to talk it over, you and I, | 0:32:59 | 0:33:02 | |

'I knew you'd be up.' | 0:35:04 | 0:35:08 | |
I'm feeding the chickens. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:09 | |
The point is this - I've had a row with Julianne. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:13 | |
Yes. She told me. She had every right to be angry. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:16 | |
-She'd asked you to stay because she wanted to tell you something. -What did she want to tell me? | 0:35:16 | 0:35:22 | |
That she's having a baby. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:23 | |
-I don't believe you. -It's true. She's pregnant. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:27 | |
-'Do you know who the father is?' -I don't. She hasn't told me. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:34 | |
-She hasn't told you? -Johnny, it's the 21st century. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:39 | |
How many more times? People keep saying that, like it justifies everything, | 0:35:39 | 0:35:43 | |
'every piece of stupidity.' | 0:35:43 | 0:35:45 | |
Julianne's not being stupid. She knows what she's doing. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:48 | |
She wouldn't take it on if she couldn't see it through. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:50 | |
Is she all right? | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
'She was.' | 0:35:52 | 0:35:54 | |
When will I see her? | 0:35:55 | 0:35:57 | |
Johnny, you need to watch out. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:00 | |
-Who was that? -Johnny. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:09 | |
So you gave him the news? | 0:36:09 | 0:36:12 | |
One egg or two? | 0:36:17 | 0:36:19 | |
I'm sorry. I wanted to see you were all right. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:24 | |
I'm all right. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:26 | |
It's funny, I came to find you last night. | 0:36:26 | 0:36:29 | |
It sounded as if you had company. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
-Why did you come looking for me? -Oh, because I'd bought you a CD. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:36 | |
Can I come in? | 0:36:36 | 0:36:38 | |
Yes. Yes, you can come in. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:40 | |
Wow! | 0:36:45 | 0:36:46 | |
I know. It's a little overwhelming. I started collecting years ago. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:52 | |
Believe it or not, I started with £100. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:55 | |
It grew from there. | 0:36:55 | 0:36:56 | |
You've got good taste. That's Christopher Wood. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:01 | |
It's wonderful. | 0:37:01 | 0:37:03 | |
There's no plan. I've just always bought what I've liked. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:07 | |
They must be worth a fortune. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:10 | |
Yeah. But that's not why I do it. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:12 | |
My second wife had very good taste. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:14 | |
How many wives have you had? | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
Fewer than five. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:17 | |
Oh. Do you really have it? | 0:37:17 | 0:37:20 | |
-What? -The CD. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:21 | |
Of course. Why would I lie to you? | 0:37:21 | 0:37:27 | |
-Lester Young. -Oh! Thank you. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:36 | |
My daughter's pregnant. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:42 | |
It turns out that's what the row was about. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:46 | |
I thought it was about art, but it wasn't. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:48 | |
She knew I was going to be upset, because I don't think the father's around | 0:37:48 | 0:37:52 | |
so she was frightened that I'd judge her. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:54 | |
I don't really know what it is you do. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:01 | |
I assume you're some sort of secret service. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
The other night I was pissed off because you wouldn't tell me. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:06 | |
What makes you think I'm in the security services? | 0:38:06 | 0:38:09 | |
Because most people can tell you why they visit the Middle East. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:13 | |
And the person I was with last night was my dad. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:19 | |
-Oh, I see. He's in London? -You just worked that out? Is that your professional training? | 0:38:19 | 0:38:24 | |
No. It's more my nerves. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
Why are you nervous? | 0:38:27 | 0:38:29 | |
Because I find myself confiding in you. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:33 | |
Do you? Do you really? | 0:38:33 | 0:38:35 | |
Or are you just pretending? | 0:38:35 | 0:38:39 | |
I think it's brilliant because I can tell everyone I live opposite a spy. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:45 | |
-I'd rather you didn't but... -Don't you think we have to be honest? You and I? | 0:38:45 | 0:38:51 | |
I mean, isn't that important? At this point? | 0:38:51 | 0:38:56 | |

RADIO: 'Yesterday, stock exchanges reacted sharply to demonstrations | 0:39:12 | 0:39:16 | |
throughout the Arab world. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:17 | |
'The Chancellor said, "These are volatile times..." | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
You should come down right away. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:27 | |
The sooner you get here the better. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:29 | |
Well done. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:33 | |
Worricker is here. OK. I've got to go. Bye. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:37 | |
What's the verdict? | 0:39:38 | 0:39:39 | |
-It's a heart attack. There's a coroner coming. -Real coroner? | 0:39:39 | 0:39:42 | |
Of course, real coroner. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:44 | |
You're going to examine him? That's going to help, is it? | 0:40:04 | 0:40:07 | |
-Who did you call first? -Downing Street. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:15 | |
-Are you from Downing Street? -I was asked to take charge. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:20 | |
You're not taking charge. I am. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:22 | |
Where's Julianne? | 0:40:29 | 0:40:31 | |
I'm not sure. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:34 | |
Have you rung her yet? | 0:40:36 | 0:40:37 | |
I might have guessed. You're going through his stuff. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:57 | |
Not going through it, taking it away. | 0:40:57 | 0:40:59 | |
Then you'll go through it. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:02 | |
If you think with his podgy fingers he could work that thing... | 0:41:04 | 0:41:08 | |
I was there when he had his first heart attack and the second. They were identical. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:13 | |
The doctor warned him. He said, "You're living in injury time." | 0:41:13 | 0:41:16 | |
So you're not going to tell me there's anything suspicious. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:19 | |
-I don't want a circus. -I know. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:22 | |
And I most certainly don't want a territorial spat | 0:41:22 | 0:41:25 | |
with that woman downstairs. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:26 | |
Had he talked about dying? | 0:41:26 | 0:41:30 | |
He was worried about the future. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:34 | |
But he said whatever mess he left behind, | 0:41:34 | 0:41:37 | |
he could trust you to clear it up. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:39 | |
Benedict was honest and hard-working and he looked things in the eye. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:48 | |
So I'd say it's important that you don't let him down. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:52 | |
Julianne, it's your father. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:57 | |
I've got bad news. Can you call me? | 0:42:01 | 0:42:04 | |
Or call your mother. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:06 | |

Nancy says you know a lot of influential people. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:17 | |

I'm not going to detain you. | 0:43:36 | 0:43:38 | |

-Do you have any reason to think differently? You went up there. -Yes. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:41 | |
I saw the guilty egg. | 0:44:41 | 0:44:43 | |
We were at university together. Ben was my tutor. | 0:44:49 | 0:44:53 | |
We even went on the Vietnam marches together. He recruited me. | 0:44:53 | 0:44:59 | |
First, counter-espionage, then counter-terrorism. There is no difference. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:03 | |
He still said it was dishonourable work you could do | 0:45:03 | 0:45:06 | |
-in an honourable way. -The better man? | 0:45:06 | 0:45:08 | |
I betrayed my wife and he married her. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:11 | |
I never knew if he did it for her or he did it for me. | 0:45:11 | 0:45:14 | |
Whichever... | 0:45:18 | 0:45:19 | |
I'm in his debt. | 0:45:21 | 0:45:22 | |
He was an all-round decent person. | 0:45:26 | 0:45:30 | |
-When is your husband getting back? -He's not getting back. | 0:45:40 | 0:45:44 | |
-Why not? -Because we had a disagreement. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:47 | |
Yeah, I'm up the Suwannee. | 0:45:51 | 0:45:53 | |
I work for an unprincipled maniac. God, she's as mean as cat meat. | 0:45:53 | 0:45:57 | |
And meanwhile I'm trying to hold down my pathetic high-powered job. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:03 | |
-You want to get out? -I don't have the courage. | 0:46:03 | 0:46:06 | |
I don't have the guts. | 0:46:08 | 0:46:09 | |
They're going to go after you, you know? | 0:46:14 | 0:46:17 | |
-Tell me. -What you hadn't guessed? | 0:46:17 | 0:46:20 | |
Jill Tankard took me into a cupboard and told me | 0:46:20 | 0:46:22 | |
there was no such thing as pure intelligence. | 0:46:22 | 0:46:25 | |
Well, then. They don't trust you. | 0:46:25 | 0:46:29 | |
They'll use Benedict's death. There's going to be a departmental shake-up. | 0:46:29 | 0:46:33 | |
-They've been setting you up. -Setting me up? How? | 0:46:33 | 0:46:35 | |
They're going to say you put Benedict up to it. | 0:46:35 | 0:46:39 | |
It was you that gave Benedict the source. | 0:46:39 | 0:46:41 | |
I didn't. I didn't give him his source. | 0:46:41 | 0:46:43 | |
I only saw the file for the first time this week. | 0:46:43 | 0:46:45 | |
-I know that. -I don't know the source. -I'm sure. | 0:46:45 | 0:46:48 | |
But they don't care. | 0:46:48 | 0:46:50 | |
They are going to tie a tin can around your tail | 0:46:51 | 0:46:53 | |
and run you out of the building. | 0:46:53 | 0:46:55 | |
They don't like you, Johnny. | 0:46:57 | 0:46:59 | |
-It's personal. -Do they have a reason? | 0:47:00 | 0:47:02 | |
Well, the usual reason. They think you're anti-American. | 0:47:02 | 0:47:05 | |
-I'm not. -All right, they just feel you have more fun than they do. | 0:47:05 | 0:47:11 | |
I've got a question. | 0:47:17 | 0:47:19 | |
I mean, I don't mind if you don't answer. | 0:47:21 | 0:47:23 | |
I don't mind. I'll answer anything. | 0:47:23 | 0:47:25 | |
When I said, "I only saw the file for the first time this week," | 0:47:25 | 0:47:29 | |
and you said, "I know." | 0:47:29 | 0:47:30 | |
-Oh, yes. So? -How do you know? It's important, Anna. How do you know? | 0:47:32 | 0:47:36 | |
How do you know I hadn't seen the file? | 0:47:36 | 0:47:39 | |
I know because when I started sleeping with you, I made a decision. | 0:47:40 | 0:47:46 | |
What decision? | 0:47:46 | 0:47:48 | |
I decided to trust you. | 0:47:49 | 0:47:51 | |
-It's a bit arbitrary, isn't it? -Yes. | 0:47:54 | 0:47:57 | |
But so far you've never let me down. | 0:48:00 | 0:48:03 | |

living a quiet and saintly life in Damascus. | 0:51:51 | 0:51:54 | |
There she is, the wronged woman, the grieving sister. | 0:51:54 | 0:51:56 | |
Waiting for you. | 0:51:56 | 0:51:58 | |
Brilliantly rehearsed, learnt her lines, ready to go. | 0:51:58 | 0:52:01 | |
What are you saying? Too good to be true? | 0:52:01 | 0:52:03 | |
I didn't ask you to pimp for me, Rollo. Nor did I ask you to vet a girlfriend. | 0:52:03 | 0:52:08 | |
-She's not a girlfriend, she's a neighbour. -Yeah. She's kind of a fantasy neighbour, isn't she? | 0:52:08 | 0:52:13 | |
Perfect for an old spy who's lost faith in the old values. | 0:52:13 | 0:52:16 | |
-I haven't lost faith. -Haven't you? -No. I still believe in them. | 0:52:16 | 0:52:19 | |
The purpose of intelligence is to find the truth, not to confirm what we believe. | 0:52:19 | 0:52:23 | |
We look for what's there, not for what we want to be there. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:26 | |
When they wanted communists, we gave them communists. | 0:52:26 | 0:52:29 | |
-Now they want Arabs, we give them Arabs. -Thank you. -What has really changed? Nothing. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:33 | |
I know what you're going through. You must be in a tricky place. | 0:52:33 | 0:52:36 | |
Bad day for Ben but it wasn't great for me. | 0:52:36 | 0:52:39 | |
Ben ran his own agents and kept them close. | 0:52:39 | 0:52:41 | |
There are a few people waking up in your position. Benedict did a good job on you. | 0:52:41 | 0:52:45 | |
The whole service believes you leaked security secrets to a newspaper for money | 0:52:45 | 0:52:50 | |
because that's what Benedict told them. | 0:52:50 | 0:52:52 | |
There's a flap going on, isn't there? A turf war, that's what I'm hearing. | 0:52:52 | 0:52:56 | |
-Are you? Where are you hearing that? -Don't give me that | 0:52:56 | 0:52:59 | |
answer a question with a fucking question lark! | 0:52:59 | 0:53:01 | |
-I didn't go on the interrogation course, I wrote it! -Sorry. | 0:53:01 | 0:53:05 | |
I went to Israel for you on what could be a wild goose chase. | 0:53:05 | 0:53:08 | |
I dipped into the Tel Aviv beach scene. Got a tan on every inch of my body. | 0:53:08 | 0:53:11 | |
Even so, you owe me this! | 0:53:11 | 0:53:13 | |
All right. What this is about, | 0:53:16 | 0:53:19 | |
Benedict had proof. The Americans have sites. Black sites. | 0:53:19 | 0:53:23 | |
-Of course they do. -Yes, but now we can tell you where they are. We can draw the map. | 0:53:23 | 0:53:27 | |
Why is that news? That's not news. You could hear the screams for the last ten years. | 0:53:27 | 0:53:31 | |
Bits of intelligence, we're so careful not to inquire where they came from. | 0:53:31 | 0:53:35 | |
-They came from torture chambers. We knew that. -We guessed. | 0:53:35 | 0:53:38 | |
We didn't have evidence. And this is actually different. | 0:53:38 | 0:53:41 | |
-Why? Why is it different? -Because it establishes who knew. | 0:53:41 | 0:53:45 | |
Who's known all along. | 0:53:45 | 0:53:47 | |
So, who knew? Who knew the sites? | 0:53:50 | 0:53:52 | |
Our Prime Minister. Our Prime Minister knew. | 0:53:52 | 0:53:58 | |
I see. | 0:54:05 | 0:54:07 | |
-Party of one, is he? Dining alone? -Too right. | 0:54:07 | 0:54:11 | |
Table by the fucking window. | 0:54:11 | 0:54:13 | |
Our Prime Minister had access to American intelligence | 0:54:13 | 0:54:16 | |
which might have helped save British lives and he didn't tell us. | 0:54:16 | 0:54:20 | |
He didn't tell anyone. | 0:54:20 | 0:54:22 | |
-OK, OK, I'm getting a picture here. -I'm glad you're getting a picture. | 0:54:24 | 0:54:27 | |
-Presumably our Prime Minister didn't tell us because he doesn't trust us. -Correct. | 0:54:27 | 0:54:32 | |
He didn't tell his Home Secretary because he doesn't trust her. | 0:54:32 | 0:54:35 | |
-Correct. -Our Prime Minister doesn't trust anyone. -That's the way it looks. | 0:54:35 | 0:54:39 | |
Because he stands alone, THE true saviour of his nation | 0:54:39 | 0:54:41 | |
and everyone else except him is a wishy-washy liberal fuck. | 0:54:41 | 0:54:45 | |
-They don't believe. Then what happened? -Benedict finds out. | 0:54:45 | 0:54:50 | |
-How? -Through a source. -A source of his own? A source whose name you don't know? | 0:54:50 | 0:54:53 | |
That is the interesting bit. What does Benedict do in that situation? | 0:54:53 | 0:54:58 | |
On discovering his Prime Minister hides secrets from his own security service. | 0:54:58 | 0:55:02 | |
Of all the things Ben could do, what does he do? | 0:55:02 | 0:55:05 | |
Remember your first day, Rollo? First day in the service? | 0:55:06 | 0:55:10 | |
Of course. Monday morning, 10am. You gave the first lecture. | 0:55:10 | 0:55:14 | |
And what did I say? | 0:55:14 | 0:55:15 | |
Never share intelligence you don't need to share. | 0:55:17 | 0:55:20 | |
Consider - Benedict is given lethal information about his Prime Minister. | 0:55:22 | 0:55:27 | |
What does he do with it? | 0:55:27 | 0:55:29 | |
He gives it to Anthea. He gives it to you. | 0:55:29 | 0:55:32 | |
What was his plan, then? Bring down the government? | 0:55:36 | 0:55:40 | |
-The weather's changing. -It certainly is. | 0:55:50 | 0:55:53 | |
-Feels like the end of an era. -Is for me. I'm fucked. | 0:55:56 | 0:56:00 | |
I live out my life inventing stories for a national newspaper. | 0:56:03 | 0:56:07 | |
I can't even come to the funeral. | 0:56:08 | 0:56:11 | |
Rollo... Rollo, you have me. | 0:56:16 | 0:56:19 | |
Sure. And how long are you going to last? | 0:56:20 | 0:56:24 | |
Mon Dieu! | 0:56:57 | 0:56:59 | |
I thought it would be you. | 0:57:01 | 0:57:03 | |
-Don't be ridiculous. Why? -Because I dreamt of you this morning. | 0:57:03 | 0:57:07 | |
-I had my Johnny dream. -Who ever taught you to lie like that? | 0:57:07 | 0:57:11 | |
Who do you think? So how many years since I saw you? | 0:57:11 | 0:57:16 | |
I guess five. You sold me a little Gertler, remember? | 0:57:16 | 0:57:20 | |
You are sure? You really want to sell it? | 0:57:29 | 0:57:32 | |
Christopher Wood. Died at 29, threw himself under the train. | 0:57:34 | 0:57:39 | |
-I wouldn't sell it if I were you. -I have to. | 0:57:39 | 0:57:42 | |
Bad times? Why did you bring it here? | 0:57:42 | 0:57:46 | |
There are places in London you'd get much more. | 0:57:46 | 0:57:49 | |
Because you have a safe. Because you have cash. | 0:57:49 | 0:57:52 | |
-How do you know? -Because you showed me. | 0:57:52 | 0:57:56 | |
-Well, will you take 60? -Do I have any choice? | 0:58:00 | 0:58:04 | |
-Here. -Thank you. | 0:58:24 | 0:58:25 | |
HE INHALES | 0:58:26 | 0:58:28 | |
-Bel Ami by Hermes. -Well done. | 0:58:28 | 0:58:31 | |
That daughter of yours... she's doing well. | 0:58:32 | 0:58:36 | |
-Does she still adore you? -I think she does. She's just scared of showing it, that's all. | 0:58:36 | 0:58:40 | |
And you, Johnny? Still winging it on charm? | 0:58:40 | 0:58:45 | |
I'm late. Thank you, Leona. | 0:58:46 | 0:58:48 | |
I've got to go. | 0:58:50 | 0:58:52 | |
Thanks, sir. | 0:59:27 | 0:59:29 | |
MOBILE RINGS | 0:59:32 | 0:59:34 | |
-Yes? -'Dad, it's me.' | 0:59:36 | 0:59:40 | |
At last, where are you? I've been worried sick. | 0:59:40 | 0:59:43 | |
'I know. I couldn't leave Mum by herself.' | 0:59:43 | 0:59:47 | |
Julianne, are you at the farm? | 0:59:47 | 0:59:49 | |
-Dad, a man came to see me. -What man? Who? | 0:59:49 | 0:59:53 | |
I don't know. He came to my studio. | 0:59:53 | 0:59:54 | |
-He wanted to know where you were. -'What did you say?' | 0:59:54 | 0:59:57 | |
I told him the truth. | 0:59:57 | 0:59:59 | |
I said I hadn't seen you. | 0:59:59 | 1:00:00 | |
Then I packed a bag and I came up to Mum's. | 1:00:00 | 1:00:02 | |
Julianne, I'm going to see you so soon, I promise. | 1:00:02 | 1:00:05 | |
Stay at your mum's, whatever you do. I need to talk to you. | 1:00:05 | 1:00:09 | |
'He said they're looking for you.' | 1:00:09 | 1:00:12 | |
Now here's a surprise! | 1:00:12 | 1:00:14 | |
Julianne, I have to go, I'm sorry, Stay where you are. Please. | 1:00:14 | 1:00:17 | |
Blow me down. | 1:00:20 | 1:00:21 | |
-I thought the shy boy wasn't coming. -I wasn't. | 1:00:21 | 1:00:24 | |
What made you change your mind? | 1:00:24 | 1:00:25 | |
You know. Whim. Caprice. | 1:00:25 | 1:00:29 | |
Good evening. | 1:00:37 | 1:00:39 | |
BELL RINGS | 1:00:44 | 1:00:46 | |
HE PRAYS IN LATIN | 1:00:53 | 1:00:57 | |
ALL: Amen. | 1:01:03 | 1:01:06 | |
DOOR OPENS | 1:01:06 | 1:01:08 | |
Welcome. | 1:01:17 | 1:01:18 | |
Thank you. Good evening. | 1:01:18 | 1:01:20 | |
BELL RINGS | 1:01:46 | 1:01:48 | |
The Prime Minister will now say a few words. | 1:01:50 | 1:01:53 | |
-APPLAUSE -Thank you. | 1:01:53 | 1:01:54 | |
Thank you. Thank you. | 1:01:54 | 1:01:57 | |
I don't want to spoil such a wonderful occasion | 1:01:57 | 1:02:00 | |
with a long speech. | 1:02:00 | 1:02:01 | |
As my daughter says, "Daddy, you spoil everything." | 1:02:01 | 1:02:04 | |
LAUGHTER | 1:02:04 | 1:02:05 | |
But I would like to say a few words, if I may, about liberal values, | 1:02:05 | 1:02:09 | |
and the price of defending them in the modern world. | 1:02:09 | 1:02:12 | |
What do you think? | 1:02:15 | 1:02:16 | |
What do you think of him? | 1:02:16 | 1:02:19 | |
I don't know. I've never known what to make of him. | 1:02:19 | 1:02:22 | |
At least he believes what he says. | 1:02:22 | 1:02:24 | |
Is that enough? | 1:02:25 | 1:02:27 | |
The Prime Minister wants a word. Not now. | 1:02:27 | 1:02:30 | |
-When? -Afterwards. | 1:02:30 | 1:02:33 | |
We'll tell you when. | 1:02:33 | 1:02:34 | |
Sorry. It's past one. | 1:02:46 | 1:02:47 | |
He had a long phone call. | 1:02:47 | 1:02:49 | |
The White House doesn't admit we're in a different time zone. | 1:02:52 | 1:02:55 | |
Ah, Johnny...it's been a long time. | 1:02:59 | 1:03:03 | |
So it has. | 1:03:03 | 1:03:04 | |
-I'm surprised you could make it. -Why? | 1:03:04 | 1:03:07 | |
-I heard you had flu. -Really? | 1:03:07 | 1:03:08 | |
-Who told you that? -Why? Isn't it true? | 1:03:08 | 1:03:11 | |
-Isn't it? -Maybe the beginnings. The onset. | 1:03:12 | 1:03:15 | |
Oh, and having just lost the DG, I didn't think you'd come. | 1:03:15 | 1:03:18 | |
I'm sorry, everyone, but we're going to need some privacy. | 1:03:18 | 1:03:22 | |
Please. | 1:03:32 | 1:03:33 | |
I remember when peace first came to Northern Ireland, | 1:03:37 | 1:03:41 | |
I took Ben for a drink. | 1:03:41 | 1:03:42 | |
In those days I was just an MP. | 1:03:42 | 1:03:45 | |
Benedict said, "The Cold War's over, Northern Ireland's fixed. | 1:03:45 | 1:03:48 | |
"This could be very bad news for the service." | 1:03:48 | 1:03:51 | |
All honour to Ben, but it turned out he was wrong. | 1:03:51 | 1:03:54 | |
-On the contrary. -Yes. | 1:03:54 | 1:03:55 | |
-We're busier than ever. -And larger. | 1:03:55 | 1:03:57 | |
That's the problem, isn't it? | 1:03:59 | 1:04:00 | |
There's so much intelligence, ceaseless intelligence, | 1:04:00 | 1:04:04 | |
and there's barely time to consider it. | 1:04:04 | 1:04:06 | |
The difficult thing being to decide what's important. | 1:04:06 | 1:04:09 | |
-That's right. -And what's not. | 1:04:09 | 1:04:11 | |
Basic point. There are times when the interests of the government | 1:04:13 | 1:04:17 | |
and the interests of the country are coincident. | 1:04:17 | 1:04:20 | |
You can't put a cigarette paper between them. Do you agree? | 1:04:20 | 1:04:23 | |
-Do you agree? -I don't...disagree. | 1:04:25 | 1:04:28 | |
So I need to be clear. | 1:04:29 | 1:04:31 | |
I'm contemplating re-organisation. Had you heard that? | 1:04:32 | 1:04:35 | |
-As a matter of fact, I had. -Really? Who from? | 1:04:35 | 1:04:38 | |
Yes. | 1:04:41 | 1:04:43 | |
A Department of Homeland Security. | 1:04:43 | 1:04:46 | |
It would be a popular move, | 1:04:46 | 1:04:48 | |
after the failures of the last ten years. | 1:04:48 | 1:04:50 | |
Let's have a Royal Commission to give us cover, | 1:04:50 | 1:04:53 | |
then let's reconfigure the services entirely. Why not? | 1:04:53 | 1:04:56 | |
I hardly need say, for everyone already in place, | 1:04:56 | 1:04:59 | |
it could mean huge advancement, Johnny...huge opportunity. | 1:04:59 | 1:05:04 | |
Or its opposite. | 1:05:04 | 1:05:06 | |
Quite. You understand me. | 1:05:08 | 1:05:10 | |
There's one other thing I'd like to discuss. | 1:05:18 | 1:05:21 | |
Before he died, Benedict gave you a file. | 1:05:21 | 1:05:24 | |
My own view is, that file should not have been distributed. | 1:05:26 | 1:05:29 | |
For that reason, I'd like it returned. | 1:05:29 | 1:05:32 | |
Well? | 1:05:36 | 1:05:37 | |
I don't know what to say. | 1:05:37 | 1:05:39 | |
I don't carry secret files about my person, | 1:05:39 | 1:05:41 | |
so I don't have it with me. | 1:05:41 | 1:05:43 | |
After all, I came here tonight for social reasons. | 1:05:43 | 1:05:46 | |
I find that very hard to believe. | 1:05:46 | 1:05:48 | |
You don't strike me as a overly sentimental kind of person. | 1:05:48 | 1:05:51 | |
Didn't you come because you wanted to talk to me? | 1:05:51 | 1:05:54 | |
I think we both know we have a question to answer, Prime Minister. | 1:05:54 | 1:05:58 | |
And what question is that? | 1:05:58 | 1:06:00 | |
Why do you imagine Benedict gave me the file? | 1:06:00 | 1:06:03 | |
-You tell me. -Why did he show it around? | 1:06:03 | 1:06:05 | |
-Why did he do that? -I have no idea. | 1:06:05 | 1:06:08 | |
-He showed it to the Home Secretary. -Indeed. | 1:06:08 | 1:06:10 | |
What's your view? | 1:06:10 | 1:06:12 | |
Given the sensitivity of the subject matter. | 1:06:12 | 1:06:14 | |
My guess is Benedict knew he was ill. | 1:06:14 | 1:06:16 | |
Sorry. He'd already had a heart attack? | 1:06:16 | 1:06:20 | |
-But also his arm was dragging. -His arm? | 1:06:20 | 1:06:23 | |
I noticed at a meeting with the Home Secretary. | 1:06:23 | 1:06:25 | |
It's a familiar sign. He couldn't pick up his papers. | 1:06:25 | 1:06:27 | |
-What meeting was that? -I think Benedict knew he was dying. | 1:06:27 | 1:06:30 | |
He handed out the file because he wanted certain issues discussed. | 1:06:30 | 1:06:34 | |
He wanted everything out in the open. | 1:06:34 | 1:06:37 | |
And so, whatever else, we must respect his wishes. | 1:06:37 | 1:06:42 | |
He was my friend, so for me it's a matter of honour. | 1:06:44 | 1:06:48 | |
Honour? | 1:06:48 | 1:06:50 | |
Do you know the famous saying about the yellow box? | 1:06:54 | 1:06:58 | |
I've not heard it, no. | 1:06:58 | 1:06:59 | |
Do not enter the yellow box unless your exit is clear. | 1:06:59 | 1:07:03 | |
I wonder where you think your exit is. | 1:07:03 | 1:07:05 | |
I don't have an exit, sir. I don't have a strategy. | 1:07:05 | 1:07:08 | |
I'm not thinking that far ahead. | 1:07:08 | 1:07:09 | |
I'm very conscious, Prime Minister, that I've been | 1:07:09 | 1:07:12 | |
forced into an area closer to politics than it is to security. | 1:07:12 | 1:07:16 | |
What I was saying earlier, in times of national emergency, | 1:07:16 | 1:07:19 | |
the two are the same. | 1:07:19 | 1:07:20 | |
Nothing is more dangerous than when people make mischief | 1:07:20 | 1:07:23 | |
by trying to separate them out. | 1:07:23 | 1:07:25 | |
But surely that's something you'll take up | 1:07:25 | 1:07:27 | |
-with your Home Secretary? -Yes. I'm working on that. | 1:07:27 | 1:07:32 | |
Right now I'm working on you. | 1:07:32 | 1:07:34 | |
All right. | 1:07:35 | 1:07:36 | |
If the file is correct, it suggests that you had intelligence | 1:07:36 | 1:07:40 | |
which you failed to share. | 1:07:40 | 1:07:42 | |
You knew the names of potential British terrorists, | 1:07:42 | 1:07:45 | |
but you failed to pass them on | 1:07:45 | 1:07:46 | |
because you didn't want to reveal where you got them. | 1:07:46 | 1:07:49 | |
You risked lives. | 1:07:49 | 1:07:51 | |
And you knowingly misled parliament about illegal practices. | 1:07:51 | 1:07:55 | |
Let's look at the facts. | 1:07:55 | 1:07:58 | |
The man who compiled that file is dead. | 1:07:58 | 1:08:01 | |
And with him died the knowledge of who its source was. | 1:08:01 | 1:08:04 | |
I don't know the source. Do you? | 1:08:04 | 1:08:07 | |
You know as well as I do, without a source your file is worthless. | 1:08:07 | 1:08:10 | |
The allegations can't be corroborated. | 1:08:10 | 1:08:12 | |
Therefore the allegations can't be correct. | 1:08:12 | 1:08:14 | |
Is that what you're telling me, sir? It's false? | 1:08:14 | 1:08:18 | |
The allegations are false? | 1:08:18 | 1:08:20 | |
What time is it? | 1:08:26 | 1:08:28 | |
Just gone two. | 1:08:29 | 1:08:30 | |
All other copies of the file have been returned. | 1:08:30 | 1:08:33 | |
I want yours back within 12 hours. | 1:08:33 | 1:08:36 | |
Two o'clock tomorrow, shall we say? | 1:08:37 | 1:08:39 | |
You've been a loyal servant of this country for many years. | 1:08:43 | 1:08:46 | |
I'm not expecting you to throw it all away. | 1:08:46 | 1:08:49 | |
No, nor am I. | 1:08:49 | 1:08:52 | |
It's late, can we get you a room? | 1:08:57 | 1:08:59 | |
No, thank you, I'm staying at a friend's. | 1:08:59 | 1:09:02 | |
Good night, sir. | 1:09:03 | 1:09:05 | |
Good night, Max. Good night, Ted. | 1:09:08 | 1:09:11 | |
How did it go? | 1:09:18 | 1:09:19 | |
I want Special Branch. | 1:09:19 | 1:09:20 | |
All right? | 1:11:16 | 1:11:17 | |
Yes. But I'm freezing. | 1:11:17 | 1:11:19 | |
Where are we going? | 1:11:22 | 1:11:23 | |
I love it. | 1:11:29 | 1:11:31 | |
This is what you do for a living? | 1:11:31 | 1:11:33 | |
Occasionally. | 1:11:33 | 1:11:34 | |
Wow! | 1:11:34 | 1:11:36 | |
Wow! | 1:11:37 | 1:11:39 | |
I had a feeling that if I asked a favour, | 1:11:39 | 1:11:41 | |
you were the sort of person who'd come through. | 1:11:41 | 1:11:43 | |
You trust me? Why on earth would you trust me? | 1:11:43 | 1:11:46 | |
Because that's the job. Deciding who to trust. That's what the job is. | 1:11:46 | 1:11:50 | |
-Also, you told your father I worked for the Home Office. -I lied. | 1:11:51 | 1:11:55 | |
Yeah. | 1:11:55 | 1:11:56 | |
You trust me because I lied? | 1:11:56 | 1:11:58 | |
HE LAUGHS | 1:11:58 | 1:12:00 | |
What were you doing in Cambridge? | 1:12:01 | 1:12:03 | |
-Why, seeing the Prime Minister, of course. -Ah. | 1:12:03 | 1:12:06 | |
-Anyone behind us? -No. | 1:12:10 | 1:12:13 | |
-Are we going back to London? -No. | 1:12:16 | 1:12:18 | |
Two rooms, please. | 1:12:33 | 1:12:34 | |
One room. Two beds, please. | 1:12:34 | 1:12:36 | |
Don't we need to talk? | 1:12:36 | 1:12:38 | |
I don't want to spoil the evening, but I have a question. | 1:12:44 | 1:12:47 | |
-The first time we met, the young man... -Ralph. | 1:12:47 | 1:12:50 | |
Tell me, how did you know him? | 1:12:50 | 1:12:53 | |
He came to the meetings. | 1:12:53 | 1:12:55 | |
For the campaign? He just turned up? Out of the blue? | 1:12:55 | 1:12:58 | |
He said he was keen to help. | 1:12:58 | 1:13:01 | |
Did he? | 1:13:01 | 1:13:02 | |
-What's this about? -I got you something. | 1:13:05 | 1:13:08 | |
Something to thank you for coming to fetch me. | 1:13:08 | 1:13:11 | |
What is it? | 1:13:11 | 1:13:12 | |
It's the truth about your brother's death. | 1:13:14 | 1:13:16 | |
I got hold of the Shabak report. | 1:13:16 | 1:13:19 | |
How on earth did you do that? | 1:13:19 | 1:13:21 | |
It's powerful stuff. | 1:13:22 | 1:13:24 | |
You're right, Jake was killed in cold blood. | 1:13:24 | 1:13:27 | |
There was a cover-up. | 1:13:27 | 1:13:29 | |
You've a cast-iron case for manslaughter, you might get murder. | 1:13:29 | 1:13:33 | |
It's all in there. | 1:13:33 | 1:13:34 | |
Have you read it? | 1:13:37 | 1:13:39 | |
The problem is going to be with using it. | 1:13:48 | 1:13:52 | |
Why shouldn't I use it? | 1:13:55 | 1:13:56 | |
Because everyone will know where you got it. | 1:13:56 | 1:13:59 | |
How would they know? | 1:13:59 | 1:14:00 | |
You're not cut out for this line of work, are you? | 1:14:00 | 1:14:03 | |
Tell me what you mean. | 1:14:03 | 1:14:05 | |
I mean, you live opposite me. | 1:14:05 | 1:14:08 | |
We share a landing. | 1:14:08 | 1:14:09 | |
I see. | 1:14:11 | 1:14:13 | |
SHE SIGHS | 1:14:15 | 1:14:17 | |
Do you want a drink? | 1:14:27 | 1:14:28 | |
Um...am I driving? | 1:14:28 | 1:14:33 | |
Not with me, you're not. | 1:14:33 | 1:14:35 | |
Brandy. | 1:14:35 | 1:14:38 | |
They say you can only begin to mourn once you know the facts. | 1:15:03 | 1:15:07 | |
Do you think that's true? | 1:15:10 | 1:15:11 | |
I'm mourning too. | 1:15:16 | 1:15:18 | |
Who? Who are you mourning? | 1:15:19 | 1:15:22 | |
My oldest friend died, a couple of days ago. | 1:15:24 | 1:15:28 | |
He made an allegation. | 1:15:29 | 1:15:31 | |
An allegation that, as yet, I've failed to make stick. | 1:15:33 | 1:15:37 | |
I see. | 1:15:40 | 1:15:42 | |
It must be tough. | 1:15:46 | 1:15:48 | |
Well, it is. | 1:15:51 | 1:15:53 | |
He left me a job to do and my life's not... | 1:15:57 | 1:16:03 | |
..worth living until I see it through. | 1:16:06 | 1:16:11 | |
I just got my life back. | 1:16:18 | 1:16:20 | |
I don't suppose you'll let me thank you. | 1:16:24 | 1:16:27 | |
I think I'd die if you thanked me. | 1:16:28 | 1:16:31 | |
I think some people have been quite surprised by your new appointment. | 1:16:38 | 1:16:41 | |
Yes, well, as you know the Prime Minister | 1:16:41 | 1:16:43 | |
and I haven't seen eye to eye on every issue. | 1:16:43 | 1:16:45 | |
But recently events have thrown us together, and do you know what? | 1:16:45 | 1:16:49 | |
'We've found we actually like each other.' | 1:16:49 | 1:16:51 | |
'You get on?' | 1:16:51 | 1:16:52 | |
'Extremely well. We've always got on on a personal level | 1:16:52 | 1:16:55 | |
-'and now we want to work together...' -I didn't hear you get up. | 1:16:55 | 1:16:58 | |
-Good morning, how are you? -Better, much better. -Good. | 1:16:58 | 1:17:02 | |
Do you know the Home Secretary? | 1:17:02 | 1:17:04 | |
-The one who says we can't be free because we have to be safe? -That's her. | 1:17:04 | 1:17:07 | |
-Thank you, Mr Eliot. -Thank you very much. | 1:17:07 | 1:17:09 | |
-She's our Deputy Prime Minister. -I thought we didn't have one. | 1:17:09 | 1:17:13 | |
We do now. Beasley's saying he thinks of her as his natural successor. | 1:17:13 | 1:17:17 | |
She's been bought. | 1:17:17 | 1:17:18 | |
-We need to go to work. You coming with me? -Try and stop me. | 1:17:18 | 1:17:21 | |
As you know some prime ministers designate a deputy, some don't. | 1:17:21 | 1:17:24 | |
It's a mark of how well we are now working together | 1:17:24 | 1:17:27 | |
that the Prime Minister wanted to give me this particular job title. | 1:17:27 | 1:17:31 | |
-Emma, how are you? -Busy. | 1:17:39 | 1:17:42 | |
You haven't met, have you? This is Nancy Pierpan. | 1:17:42 | 1:17:45 | |
-OK. -So sorry to hear your news. | 1:17:45 | 1:17:48 | |
She's my neighbour. | 1:17:48 | 1:17:50 | |
She's kindly doing a stint as my chauffeur. | 1:17:50 | 1:17:53 | |
Come in. | 1:17:54 | 1:17:55 | |
Go to the barn. She's waiting for you. | 1:18:02 | 1:18:05 | |
Do you think Nancy could possibly have a cup of coffee? | 1:18:07 | 1:18:11 | |
I'm so sorry. I said terrible things. | 1:18:36 | 1:18:39 | |
It's my fault. I've been stupid. | 1:18:39 | 1:18:42 | |
I'm a bad father. | 1:18:42 | 1:18:44 | |
Just put my mind at rest. | 1:18:44 | 1:18:46 | |
It's not...Ralph Wilson, is it? | 1:18:46 | 1:18:50 | |
-Ralph Wilson? Why would it be Ralph? -Because I saw you together. | 1:18:50 | 1:18:56 | |
-Are you out of your head? -Thank God. | 1:18:56 | 1:18:58 | |
-Is that what you've been thinking? Is that what you think of me? -I didn't know what to think. | 1:18:58 | 1:19:02 | |
If you must know... it was a conceptual artist. | 1:19:02 | 1:19:08 | |
Oh. Good. Well, I'm glad conceptual artists are good for something. | 1:19:08 | 1:19:15 | |
How long did it last? | 1:19:17 | 1:19:19 | |
It lasted a week. | 1:19:19 | 1:19:21 | |
A good week? | 1:19:22 | 1:19:23 | |
Then your daughter's in with a chance. | 1:19:26 | 1:19:28 | |
How do you know it's a girl? | 1:19:28 | 1:19:30 | |
Because I had a girl. | 1:19:30 | 1:19:31 | |
I don't know why I bothered to make you all lunch, | 1:19:49 | 1:19:51 | |
-God knows I've got enough to do. -It's delicious. | 1:19:51 | 1:19:54 | |
Everyone says Benedict knew he was dying, | 1:19:57 | 1:20:00 | |
so why didn't he at least leave us an order of service? | 1:20:00 | 1:20:02 | |
Did he ask for anything in particular? | 1:20:02 | 1:20:06 | |
Oh, you know. Stuff about... England. | 1:20:06 | 1:20:11 | |
So typical, so typical of him. | 1:20:14 | 1:20:15 | |
I don't think Benedict gave a damn about England, did he? | 1:20:15 | 1:20:19 | |
Except as some version of paradise. Imaginary. Like all paradise. | 1:20:19 | 1:20:24 | |
-I'm sure it's what the Belgians feel about Belgium. -I'm sure they do. | 1:20:24 | 1:20:30 | |
And the frigging Albanians. | 1:20:30 | 1:20:31 | |
And you're no use. You like jazz. | 1:20:34 | 1:20:38 | |
Johnny, can you come with me, please? | 1:20:46 | 1:20:49 | |
There was a politician. | 1:21:00 | 1:21:02 | |
I'm sorry? | 1:21:02 | 1:21:03 | |
An American politician came here for lunch. A couple of weeks ago. | 1:21:06 | 1:21:10 | |
I don't suppose you remember his name? | 1:21:12 | 1:21:14 | |
He piloted his plane to the local airfield. | 1:21:18 | 1:21:21 | |
You didn't mention this before. | 1:21:24 | 1:21:26 | |
I was angrier before. | 1:21:28 | 1:21:29 | |
Is the plane enough of a clue? | 1:21:40 | 1:21:42 | |
It's not certain, | 1:22:44 | 1:22:46 | |
but there's a fair chance I'm going to have to leave the country. | 1:22:46 | 1:22:49 | |
I have a feeling this week may not end well. | 1:22:51 | 1:22:55 | |
I'm running out of rope. | 1:22:57 | 1:22:59 | |
They're not going to make me Deputy Prime Minister. | 1:23:01 | 1:23:04 | |
Will I see you at the funeral? | 1:23:08 | 1:23:10 | |
I'll try. | 1:23:11 | 1:23:12 | |
Try as in you will or try as in you won't? | 1:23:15 | 1:23:17 | |
He's on his way. | 1:24:34 | 1:24:35 | |
-Do you care to tell me what you're doing? -What you do for a living. | 1:24:43 | 1:24:46 | |
Aren't you in the surveillance business? | 1:24:46 | 1:24:48 | |
Going through your things and seeing what's there. | 1:24:48 | 1:24:52 | |
Don't worry, I don't do guns or violence. | 1:24:52 | 1:24:55 | |
How did you get in? That's a deadlock with a combination. | 1:24:57 | 1:25:00 | |
We still have skills in the public sector | 1:25:00 | 1:25:03 | |
you don't in the private. Contact, contact! | 1:25:03 | 1:25:07 | |
Nancy, you can come up now. | 1:25:07 | 1:25:10 | |
This is an expensive outfit. | 1:25:10 | 1:25:12 | |
I was wondering who'd staked such a serious investment. | 1:25:12 | 1:25:15 | |
-Then I saw the photo on the fridge. -I had you marked from the beginning. -I know you did. | 1:25:15 | 1:25:19 | |
-From the moment I met you. -I've been taking photos of your operation. -Are they on that camera? | 1:25:19 | 1:25:24 | |
And sending them to a computer. You're Jill Tankard's little boy. | 1:25:24 | 1:25:28 | |
Nothing to say? | 1:25:30 | 1:25:31 | |
This is the man who pretended to support your campaign. | 1:25:35 | 1:25:38 | |
I can't believe what you did. I can't believe it. | 1:25:38 | 1:25:42 | |
-How far would you have taken it? -I'd have slept with you... | 1:25:42 | 1:25:46 | |
for Queen and country, I would. I wasn't interested in you. I was interested in him. | 1:25:46 | 1:25:50 | |
I'm meant to believe that it was a coincidence? | 1:25:50 | 1:25:54 | |
An M15 man just happens to live opposite a known subversive? | 1:25:54 | 1:25:58 | |
-I'm not a subversive. -Then what the fuck are you? | 1:25:58 | 1:26:00 | |
Ralph, it's time to have a word with your mum. | 1:26:00 | 1:26:03 | |
I'm going to leave early. Please cancel all my appointments. | 1:26:17 | 1:26:20 | |
He's back in contact. | 1:26:27 | 1:26:28 | |
What made you choose this place? | 1:26:43 | 1:26:44 | |
Best reason. Because the food is good. | 1:26:44 | 1:26:46 | |
Hello. I've got whisky, but my friend usually drinks white wine. | 1:26:46 | 1:26:50 | |
-Whisky. -Of course. | 1:26:50 | 1:26:53 | |
So. Interesting choice. How does it feel to be unemployable? | 1:26:53 | 1:26:57 | |
What's in the bag? Have you brought me the file? | 1:26:57 | 1:26:59 | |
-I've been calculating how long you've been working this racket. -What racket? | 1:26:59 | 1:27:03 | |
-You're running a cowboy unit out of Downing Street. -I don't think you can call it a cowboy unit. | 1:27:03 | 1:27:08 | |
-We answer to the Prime Minister. -So do we. -What's your point? | 1:27:08 | 1:27:11 | |
The Prime Minister never liked the security services because we were always bothering him with facts. | 1:27:11 | 1:27:17 | |
So he started his own intelligence unit, am I right? Dealing directly with the Americans? | 1:27:17 | 1:27:22 | |
In traditional practice, | 1:27:22 | 1:27:25 | |
the torturers are meant to be held at arms' length. | 1:27:25 | 1:27:27 | |
You have no proof. | 1:27:27 | 1:27:29 | |
Well, as a matter of fact, I do. I've found Ben's source. | 1:27:29 | 1:27:34 | |
I've spoken to Ben's source. | 1:27:34 | 1:27:36 | |
I don't believe you. | 1:27:36 | 1:27:38 | |
Believe what you like. | 1:27:38 | 1:27:40 | |
And will that source go on the record? Can you produce that source? | 1:27:40 | 1:27:44 | |
That's a gamble you're going to have to take. | 1:27:44 | 1:27:46 | |
Johnny, you're bluffing with an empty hand. | 1:27:46 | 1:27:50 | |
Is the Prime Minister willing to take that risk? | 1:27:50 | 1:27:52 | |
I know the source. | 1:27:52 | 1:27:53 | |
Face it, the world's changed. What are the British going to do? | 1:28:02 | 1:28:06 | |
Get new allies? Allies who behave better? | 1:28:06 | 1:28:09 | |
Benedict was on to you, wasn't he? That's why he put the file out. | 1:28:09 | 1:28:12 | |
He knew you were betraying your own department. | 1:28:12 | 1:28:15 | |
Reporting to the Prime Minister isn't betrayal. | 1:28:15 | 1:28:18 | |
You financed a piece of private enterprise and employed your own son. | 1:28:18 | 1:28:22 | |
I've taken photographs of his premises. | 1:28:22 | 1:28:25 | |
Fuck this. This isn't the Student Union, I'm not here to debate. | 1:28:29 | 1:28:33 | |
The world's moving on and it's time it did. | 1:28:33 | 1:28:36 | |
Because you guys with your public school ties | 1:28:36 | 1:28:38 | |
and your "after you, old chap" didn't make much of a job of it, did you? | 1:28:38 | 1:28:42 | |
Last meeting of the club, Johnny. Last meeting of the club. | 1:28:42 | 1:28:46 | |
In the last 48 hours, you've broken every rule in the book. | 1:28:49 | 1:28:53 | |
You are no longer in your service, you will never work again, | 1:28:53 | 1:28:56 | |
your pension is gone. | 1:28:56 | 1:28:57 | |
If you blow the whistle now, you'll also go to prison. | 1:28:57 | 1:29:01 | |
Is that what you want? | 1:29:01 | 1:29:02 | |
Because that's what lies ahead if you don't give me that file. | 1:29:02 | 1:29:06 | |
-I'm willing to cut a deal. -What's the deal? | 1:29:06 | 1:29:10 | |
No Royal Commission. No re-organisation. | 1:29:10 | 1:29:13 | |
-Is that all? -No. | 1:29:13 | 1:29:15 | |
Publication of the internal Israeli report on the death of Jake Pierpan. | 1:29:15 | 1:29:19 | |
-You're crazy. -We leak it. | 1:29:19 | 1:29:22 | |
The government admits it's shocked at the cover-up in the occupied territories. That's the deal. | 1:29:22 | 1:29:28 | |
-You know it's impossible. -Is it? -Of course. -It's the quid pro quo. | 1:29:28 | 1:29:33 | |
You give me something, I give you something. | 1:29:33 | 1:29:35 | |
Think about it, this is far worse. | 1:29:35 | 1:29:40 | |
Isn't the temptation of heroism coming a little late in your career? | 1:29:44 | 1:29:49 | |
I've watched you work. I always admired you. | 1:29:49 | 1:29:51 | |
I thought, "Johnny's clever, Johnny keeps out of trouble. | 1:29:51 | 1:29:56 | |
"Johnny's a lucky man. He's got a life." | 1:29:56 | 1:29:59 | |
Don't you have a life? Jill? | 1:30:02 | 1:30:06 | |
It's the girl, isn't it? You're doing this for the girl. | 1:30:12 | 1:30:17 | |
They come and go, don't they, Johnny? | 1:30:19 | 1:30:22 | |
They come and go. | 1:30:22 | 1:30:24 | |
Not this time. | 1:30:28 | 1:30:29 | |
Is the file in there? | 1:30:35 | 1:30:36 | |
PHONE RINGS | 1:30:46 | 1:30:48 | |
-Hello? -Is that Allegra? -'It is.' | 1:30:49 | 1:30:53 | |
-'I believe my friend Rollo gave you a document.' -He did. | 1:30:53 | 1:30:57 | |
Go ahead. Broadcast. You have my permission. | 1:30:57 | 1:31:01 | |
-Thank you. -'Good luck.' | 1:31:03 | 1:31:06 | |

-What are you doing? -Just reading. -OK. | 1:31:43 | 1:31:45 | |
Looking for the next great novel. | 1:31:47 | 1:31:49 | |
They don't seem to understand that feelings are interesting, but the world is interesting too. | 1:31:49 | 1:31:54 | |
-Want some coffee? -I have to say goodbye. | 1:31:56 | 1:32:00 | |
-Goodbye? -Yeah. | 1:32:00 | 1:32:05 | |
What does goodbye mean? | 1:32:05 | 1:32:06 | |
If you want a Saab, it's waiting in Cambridge. | 1:32:11 | 1:32:15 | |
You'll have to pay the parking charges, | 1:32:15 | 1:32:17 | |
but it's nicer than your Peugeot. | 1:32:17 | 1:32:19 | |
This is a small painting you might like. | 1:32:22 | 1:32:25 | |
It's by the same artist, but not as good. | 1:32:25 | 1:32:30 | |
-I couldn't possibly take it. -You can take it. | 1:32:30 | 1:32:33 | |
You're going to live for many years and be an old woman, | 1:32:33 | 1:32:37 | |
and this way, you'll always have something decent on your wall. | 1:32:37 | 1:32:41 | |
Are you going to tell me why you have to go? | 1:32:41 | 1:32:44 | |
I've cut a deal. | 1:32:44 | 1:32:45 | |
They've gone along with it, but they don't like it. | 1:32:45 | 1:32:48 | |
They'll make my life not worth living. | 1:32:48 | 1:32:50 | |
Would you like me to come with you? | 1:32:50 | 1:32:52 | |
I couldn't ask you to do that. | 1:32:56 | 1:32:59 | |
Couldn't or...won't? | 1:33:01 | 1:33:05 | |
I'm not really used to the idea of having feelings again. | 1:33:12 | 1:33:15 | |
It's...dangerous, isn't it? | 1:33:15 | 1:33:20 | |
Too dangerous for you? | 1:33:27 | 1:33:29 | |
I'm frightened. I fuck everything up. | 1:33:34 | 1:33:38 | |
Shh. | 1:33:38 | 1:33:41 | |
-Thank you. -You're welcome. -This is very kind of you. | 1:34:12 | 1:34:16 | |
We're heading north. | 1:34:22 | 1:34:23 | |
CHURCH ORGAN PLAYS | 1:34:32 | 1:34:35 | |
We're here today to remember the life of Benedict Baron. | 1:34:42 | 1:34:46 | |
The hymns and readings have been chosen by his family, | 1:34:46 | 1:34:49 | |
and the first hymn by his oldest friend, John Worricker. | 1:34:49 | 1:34:54 | |
I Vow To Thee, My Country. | 1:34:54 | 1:34:56 | |
# I vow to thee, my country | 1:35:08 | 1:35:13 | |
# All earthly things above | 1:35:13 | 1:35:17 | |
# Entire and whole and perfect | 1:35:17 | 1:35:23 | |
# The service of my love | 1:35:23 | 1:35:27 | |
# The love that... # | 1:35:27 | 1:35:29 | |
'The government today responded officially to the document | 1:35:29 | 1:35:35 | |

'Jake Pierpan was gunned down in the occupied territories | 1:35:38 | 1:35:42 | |

'The Prime Minister, Alec Beasley, today visiting his constituency, | 1:35:44 | 1:35:48 | |
'acknowledged the strength of public reaction to the revelation.' | 1:35:48 | 1:35:52 | |
'Even at times of national crisis, | 1:35:52 | 1:35:54 | |
'certain basic human freedoms have to be protected. | 1:35:54 | 1:35:58 | |
'We must never stop insisting on telling the truth to our enemies, | 1:35:58 | 1:36:01 | |
'but sometimes we have to tell the truth to our friends as well. | 1:36:01 | 1:36:05 | |
'That's a difficult duty, | 1:36:05 | 1:36:07 | |
'but between democracies with shared values, it's an essential one.' | 1:36:07 | 1:36:12 | |
# And there's another country | 1:36:12 | 1:36:17 | |
# I've heard of long ago | 1:36:17 | 1:36:21 | |
# Most dear to them that love her | 1:36:21 | 1:36:26 | |
# Most great to them that know... # | 1:36:26 | 1:36:31 | |
'Politicians on all sides in Britain are today expressing their shock | 1:36:31 | 1:36:36 | |
'at the news that the Israeli Army suppressed a highly critical Shabak report, | 1:36:36 | 1:36:39 | |
'which established the truth about the death of a British peace campaigner...' | 1:36:39 | 1:36:43 | |
I wonder, could we change the station? | 1:36:43 | 1:36:46 | |
Anything you want? | 1:36:46 | 1:36:47 | |
I'd like some jazz. | 1:36:47 | 1:36:50 | |
