00:00The
01:00You must assume, Peter, the circus has the dogs on you 24 hours a day.
01:24Think of it as a foreign country.
01:30Hello, Bryant.
01:32Hello. Nice to see you again, sir.
01:34Mr. Long.
01:43Mr. Goodham, sir.
01:48Mr. Lord Strickland's expecting you.
01:51We'll meet you by the barrier on the fifth floor.
01:53All right.
01:56Thanks.
02:05That sounds someone oiled, all these things, isn't it?
02:07We keep asking.
02:09You can talk till you're blue in the face.
02:11Yes.
02:29Well, Mac Peter, greetings.
02:31A trifle late, but never mind.
02:33Sorry, Lorda.
02:34You have to make a lounge if you come to the yokel.
02:37Good God.
02:38How long have you had that monster?
02:39You really are a stranger, aren't you?
02:44It saves man-eyes.
02:46Fantastic.
02:47Quite fantastic.
02:49Oh, hello, Bill.
02:53What the hell are you doing here, your pariah?
02:55He's got some French diplomatic courier he wants to buy, and he needs to wash some dirty money.
03:01That's a job for banking section, of course, so we're sorting out the tangle for him.
03:05He knows it has to be London station cleared.
03:07He told me the papers were already rooted to you.
03:10They're probably in your entry now, Bill.
03:13They had better be, Peter.
03:15Mind you, lock up the spoons.
03:17These scalp hunters, they have the gold out of your teeth.
03:21Lock up the girls as well.
03:23If they'll let you.
03:27There we go, Bill.
03:28Keys of the city.
03:30London station couldn't be in better hands.
03:32Everything's a lot tighter here these days, Willem.
03:38Hey, Lorda, hold on.
03:40Have you seen bloody Bill anywhere?
03:44Indeed, I have seen Bill.
03:46We were having a brief word about a couple of things back down the corridor.
03:50He's wanted urgently.
03:51Immediately, Lorda, actually.
03:53We've put out an alert for him.
03:54I suspect he may well be on his way to you at this moment.
04:02Peter.
04:08Hello.
04:09Hi.
04:13Thanks for the glad hand.
04:15I did wipe the cow dung off my boots.
04:18What's the joke, Lorda?
04:20The joke, Peter, old lad.
04:21Just surprised to see you, that's all.
04:25We're used to having this flaw to ourselves.
04:28Would you like to see my past, Toby?
04:32How are you keeping?
04:35Oh, I wintered very well, thanks.
04:37You know what it's like living in the Brixton rest house these days.
04:39Plenty of ludo, ping-pong.
04:41Normally, I'd be having my afternoon scissor this time.
04:44Afternoon, Peter.
04:46Don't waste Lorda's time.
04:48No, sir.
04:48Sorry, sir.
05:24Oh, my God.
05:54Oh, Flush. Stop it. Stop it, boy. It's only a dunderhead. Flush, shut up.
06:24George. Smiley. Oh, you're a lovely, darling man. You haven't come to sell me a hoover. You're my gorgeous George.
06:37Come on in. Oh, George.
06:48Jingle, darling, could you possibly make it tomorrow?
06:51Oh, don't be cross, Jingle. It isn't often my oldest, oldest lover comes to see me.
06:57Oh, George, if only I'd seen you first. I'll give you a whole hour. All to yourself. Honestly, I will, darling.
07:08One of my dunderheads. I will teach. Don't know why.
07:14Oh, George. Of all the lovely, darling man I ever knew.
07:26What Flush.
07:28Did you see his shoes?
07:29Oh, bless you, darling. God bless.
07:37Did he walk alone, Flush?
07:49Not accompanied, were we?
07:51Quite alone, Connie.
07:52So, what does George want from Connie, the bad boy?
08:01Her memory. To go over some very old ground, Connie.
08:07You know that Flush? First they'd chuck us out with an old bone, then they'd come begging to us.
08:13I was the best head of research the circus ever had. Everyone knew that.
08:18And what did they say the day they gave me the chop? That personnel cow.
08:25You're losing your sense of proportion, Connie. It's time you got out into the real world.
08:31Well, I hate the real world.
08:38I like the circus of my lovely boys.
08:42Pollyakov.
08:49Alexei Alexandrovich Pollyakov, Cultural Attaché, Soviet Embassy, London.
08:59Born March 3rd, 1922, in the Ukraine.
09:02graduate of Leningrad State University height to five foot ten color of eyes

09:51in my bones the day he arrived I thought hello I'm going to have some fun with you
09:56tough as a button cultural attache balls army written all over him but not
10:04declared George not a mention oh he had a lovely voice mellow like yours I used to
10:12play the tapes over and over just to bathe in it bottom picture too I just know not
10:23that we ever caught him at it we might have done if Tobe had played along and
10:28offered him a bum or two but tiny Tobe wouldn't eight years I watched pretty
10:36Polly for eight years then last Remembrance Day I got him there he was that
10:44smashing November morning at the wreath laying and we photographed his medals two
10:50gallantry in four campaign oh yes Alex Polyakov was a star soldier just I told
10:58them I'm not a word so I said to Tobe listen you two-faced ferret ego has got the
11:08better part of cover and that's nothing new now will you turn pretty Polly inside
11:13out for me because Connie's little hunch has turned up trumps and what did Toby
11:19Esther Hasey say no I got the dead fish voice tell Percy Allen I and Percy's in charge
11:26and then not every ex-warrior's a Carla agent says Percy I said listen Percy
11:34Polly a coughs running an English mole so I get the rude letter stop it or else I wrote
11:44at bottom yes repeat no so here we are flush and me
11:56please kiss me George
12:04hey ho halcyon days
12:21did I start the landslide George you were always dead right Connie
12:29and is George now picking up the pieces something of the salt
12:34poor loves trained to Empire trained to rule the waves Englishmen could be proud
12:44then they could George all gone taken away bye-bye world if it's bad George don't come back promise
13:08I want to remember you just as you were my lovely lovely boys promise
13:32all right Lord I'll just have to wait for the wheels to turn I don't need a pass to use the gents do I
14:02I don't need a pass to ask you to
14:04get all right
14:05I don't need a pass to go
14:06I don't need a pass to the label
14:08I need a pass to go
14:09I don't need a pass to go
14:11so it's up to go
14:13so I need to see how this is
14:15I have to go
14:16to the gas station
14:17to me
15:49The pages have been removed with a razor blade.
15:52No mention whatever of Ricky Tarr's cables from Lisbon.
15:54No Irina, no Boris, no Tarr.
15:57There's a note scribbled on the next page which says,
16:00all inquiries to head of London station.
16:03It's in Toby Estehase's handwriting.
16:06The janitor's attendance list has also been removed.
16:09Nothing to tell us who was duty officer that night.
16:12Nor even who was in the building.
16:14Connie's appraisal matches the story Irina gave Ricky Tarr.
16:22The implications, the indications,
16:26are that Carla has managed to build himself a cage
16:28of senior men placed about the globe
16:31who work directly and exclusively to him at Moscow Centre.
16:35Poliakov is Carla's executant in London.
16:41You offer that as a working hypothesis.
16:44Operation Witchcraft,
16:46that vital flow of Russian intelligence
16:48which happily came Aliline's way.
16:51Supplementary estimates to the Treasury.
16:53Special Accommodation in London.
16:59Wider Exploitation.
17:02See also Secret Annex.
17:05May I see it?
17:07The Minister keeps it in his personal safe.
17:09Do you know the combination?
17:11Certainly not.
17:13What's the title of this unobtainable document?
17:16It doesn't have one.
17:19It's highly secret
17:20and we've done everything humanly possible
17:21to keep the readership to a minimum.
17:23The supplier of the witchcraft material
17:24is our old friend Merlin.
17:26Does the file give his identity?
17:27Don't be ridiculous.
17:29The Minister wouldn't want to know
17:30and Aliline wouldn't want to tell him.
17:33What does wider exploitation mean?
17:36I refuse to be interrogated, George.
17:39I entirely fail to see
17:40why I should waste your time
17:41pursuing this line of inquiry.
17:43By rights, I should have them specially cleared
17:45before I let you see any of this.
17:47Witchcraft cleared?
17:48Yes, George.
17:50Do we have a list of people
17:52who've been cleared in that way?
17:54I hope you're not going fair, George.
18:00Please, stick with the primary problem.
18:03The mole, Gerald,
18:04instead of roogling around
18:05in extraneous matters.
18:08There's no time to be whimsical.
18:11Oh, you off.
18:13You won't forget Fredo, will you?
18:14Anything at all you can get on him.
18:16Even scraps would help.
18:30He has a point, George.
18:33Witchcraft and Merlin.
18:36Poliakov and the mole.
18:37Predo getting himself shot up
18:39on some wild goose chase of Controls
18:41in the rural charms of Czechoslovakia.
18:44You think it all connects?
18:46I think, Peter,
18:46I'm not the first
18:47to make this journey of exploration.
18:51I believe Control was here before me.
18:54He might even have made the full distance.
18:56But for the bullets in Predo's back,
18:59there are three of them
19:00and Aliline.
19:03Control's words.
19:03He meant Operation Witchcraft, of course.
19:07Merlin's minders
19:08or inventors
19:09or programmers
19:10or marionettes
19:13or what.
19:16Why was Control
19:17always so hostile to Aliline?
19:19Percy wasn't a complete fool.
19:21Percy didn't flirt, Peter.
19:23And Control hadn't reckoned
19:25on the power of the Aliline lobby.
19:27Who were they?
19:28Golfers.
19:29Golfers and conservatives.
19:31That's what Control said to me.
19:32I got a call from Control one day,
19:35very sharp,
19:36very combative.
19:37George,
19:38come in here
19:39or there'll be bloodshed.
19:47Brother Percy's trying to twist my tail.
19:53Take a look at this nonsense.
19:54Top-level Soviet naval dispatch.
20:00Specially prepared for the Soviet high command.
20:05Isn't it, Percy?
20:07An appreciation
20:09of a naval exercise
20:10in the Medellin,
20:11the Black Sea,
20:13of which our sailors
20:13have been screaming for details.
20:17Haven't they, Percy?
20:18Topicality is always suspect.
20:20Yes, George.
20:22Would you like to repeat that
20:23for Percy?
20:26Who made the translation?
20:29God made it,
20:29didn't he, Percy?
20:32Don't ask him anything
20:34he won't tell you.
20:35Sure to seize strike power,
20:37radioactivation of enemy alert procedures.
20:40This is hardly my territory.
20:42Don't let that worry you.
20:44Total ignorance of subject matter
20:45doesn't bother Percy.
20:46Who's initials are these?
20:52Zaharoff.
20:53Admiral.
20:54Black Sea Fleet.
20:56What do our own evaluators say?
20:59They have not seen it.
21:00And what's more,
21:01they're not going to.
21:03However,
21:04my brother in Christ Lily
21:05of naval intelligence
21:06has passed a preliminary opinion,
21:08has he not, Percy?
21:10Percy showed it to him last night.
21:12Over a pink gin, was it, Percy?
21:14At the Admiral, Tim.
21:15Note that, George.
21:17They battened down the hatches
21:18and bunged up the portholes for Percy.
21:21Brother Lily telephoned me
21:23half an hour ago
21:24to congratulate me.
21:26He believes this material
21:27to be neither a plant
21:28nor chicken feed,
21:29but genuine gold dust.
21:30And he seeks our permission to...
21:33Percy's, I suppose I should say.
21:35To apprise his fellow sea lords
21:37of its conclusions.
21:39Quite impossible.
21:40It's for his eyes only,
21:41at least for another couple of weeks.
21:43It's so hot, you see, George?
21:46But where does it come from?
21:48Who's the case officer?
21:50You'll enjoy this.
21:52Source Merlin
21:52has access to the most sensitive levels
21:55of Soviet policymaking.
21:57We've dubbed his product
21:58witchcraft.
22:00Can I ask him who we are, George?
22:02Merlin is the fruit
22:03of a long cultivation
22:04by certain people in his service.
22:07People who are bound to me
22:08as I am to them.
22:10People who are not at all entertained
22:11by the failure rate
22:13about this place.
22:14Been too much blown,
22:16too much lost,
22:17twisted,
22:18too many scandals.
22:20I've said so many times
22:21that I might as well
22:22have talked to the wind
22:23for all the heed he'd paid me.
22:25He means me, George.
22:27The ordinary principles
22:28of tradecraft and security
22:30have gone to the wall
22:31in this service.
22:32It's all divide and rule
22:33stimulated from the top.
22:35Me again?
22:36We're losing our livelihood,
22:38our self-respect.
22:40We've had enough.
22:44We've had a bellyful, in fact.
22:47Please.
22:51And like everybody
22:51who's ever had enough,
22:52he wants more.
22:59This service.
23:02Percy Aleline would sell his mother
23:04for a knighthood in this service
23:06for a seat in the House of Lords.
23:10Suppose Merlin's genuine.
23:12Suppose Merlin would pick Percy?
23:14It seems somebody has.
23:16I gather Percy's under the impression
23:18he'd picked himself
23:19and a whole team.
23:23You're sure he left you out,
23:24are you, George?
23:34What are you going to do about it?
23:37Depends on it.
23:39I'll wait for it to show itself.
23:42In the meantime,
23:43I see nothing to deal with
23:44except Percy's envious eye
23:46on my chair.
23:49And I've put my thumb
23:50in that optic before.
23:51George?
24:06Little tattle Tuesday again?
24:07No.
24:08Thursday.
24:09Herbie?
24:09All right.
24:12This time.
24:21Oh, Lord.
24:25I thought we'd be half over by now.
24:29You've got a rabbit
24:30to pull out of your hat today, Percy.
24:32You've got that
24:33Britain can make it look about you.
24:35Very intimidating.
24:37Should we have brought
24:38our sandwiches?
24:40I'll be brief, Bill,
24:41so long as I'm not obstructed.
24:44I'm sorry.
24:45Traffic.
24:46You should have walked.
24:48I think you and Percy
24:49between you
24:49are contriving
24:50to keep me off the streets.
24:51They're all here now, sir.
24:59Would you go in, please, gentlemen?
25:01Mm-hmm.
25:02how often do i have to emphasize the extreme sensitivity of the source of the witchcraft
25:30product i must insist there is no existing method of whitehall distribution to meet the case do i
25:37have to remind you of that disgraceful incident when an undersecretary albeit overworked so be it
25:45but the fact remains the man actually gave his dispatch box key to his personal assistant
25:52we simply cannot afford that kind of ludicrous insecurity when we are handling witchcraft
25:59now
26:02i have already discussed the problem with lily of naval intelligence
26:13and he is prepared to put at our disposal a special main reading room in the admiralty main building
26:20where witchcraft material can be seen by our customers and watched over by a senior janitor
26:27of this service wouldn't you rather have security call
26:30the reading room will be known for cover purposes as the conference room of the adriatic working party
26:43the AWP room for short
26:45thank you
26:47customers with reading rights will not have passes since these can be too accessible
26:52like keys
26:54instead they will appear on a special list with their photographs
26:58and they will identify themselves personally to my janitor
27:02who's janitor percy
27:05well he's already got his own personal wizard
27:09the odd commissioner seems modest enough domestic star
27:13allowing that all this is necessary
27:19essential
27:20my minister will want to know a lot more about the cost
27:25he'll want it to appear to be borne by the admiralty
27:28even if you have to reimburse covertly
27:30yes of course
27:32the reading room will have to be extensively rebuilt
27:34to begin with
27:35now i would like to call your attention to the foreign office comment on the most recent witchcraft product
27:42and i quote
27:44this document sheds an extraordinary sidelight on soviet aggressive thinking
27:50does that mean they like it percy
27:56do you like it bill
28:01it's from the very heart of your territory
28:03the fact is in 25 years i haven't laid hands on anything of that quality
28:13unless i'm extremely mistaken
28:14nor have our american cousins
28:16anyone taking that stuff to washington could drive a very hard bargain indeed
28:20early days bill
28:21agreed george
28:22but if mary maintains the standard of that
28:24we're going to be able to buy whatever's in the yank shop
28:26i don't think control is going to play
28:29that would rule me out as well of course
28:32percy will get his reading room
28:35yes
28:37and after that i suppose anything is possible
28:41did you want to ask me something mr smiley
29:01i'm afraid he's not seeing anyone at all today
29:07again
29:08i'm being asked why he's cancelled the tuesday conferences
29:14you know i can't add anything to his memorandum mr smiley even for you
29:23even if i could mr smiley
29:25no of course
29:27i was rather hoping before i set off on this hong kong trip he wants me to make
29:32well
29:33when i get back
29:36perhaps he'll have got through that little lot
29:38and now there's a witchcraft committee
29:53the minister's in the chair
29:54alleline's vice chairman
29:56merlin's become an industry
29:58it's the industry
29:59and i'm not employed

32:29or abroad
32:30i mean the kind
32:31of special jobs
32:32which for good reasons
32:33of security
32:34you haven't felt
32:35able to mention
32:36in your returns
32:37who would i do that for george
32:41you know in my book
32:43that's completely illegal
32:44well if percy
32:46alanine for example
32:47ordered you to do something
32:49and not recorded
32:51that would put you in a difficult position
32:53what sort of something
32:55clear a foreign letterbox
32:57prime a safe house
32:58watch someone's back
32:59spike an embassy
33:01it's all
33:02lamp light at work
33:03if percy told you to do it
33:06you might quite reasonably assume
33:08he was acting on instructions
33:09from the fifth floor
33:11i do like the service george
33:21i may be sentimental about it
33:24but i prefer to stay in it
33:26now you understand that
33:28you of all people
33:29my problem is promotion
33:38i mean the absence of it
33:42i've so many years seniority
33:45that i feel actually quite embarrassed
33:48when these young fellows ask me
33:50to take orders from them
33:51who told me
33:54which young fellows
33:57roy bland
33:58percy
33:59would you call percy young
34:02who
34:03when you're overdue for promotion
34:06and working your fingers to the bone
34:08anyone looks young
34:09who's above you on the ladder
34:11have you been taking orders
34:15you know the line of command george
34:19perhaps control could move you up
34:26a few rows
34:27well you know actually
34:31i'm not sure he's able to these days
34:34are you
34:36so what's the deal
34:45there isn't a deal roy really
34:47it's just that control feels
34:49the present situation is unhealthy
34:51he doesn't like to see you getting
34:53mixed up with a cabal
34:55frankly nor do i
34:57so what's the deal
34:58what do you want
35:00what about five thousand quid up the reptile fund for starters
35:05and a house and a car
35:06and a kid to eat it
35:08your father would turn in his grave
35:11let him rotate
35:12you old commie thug
35:15if there's no deal george
35:20you'll have to tell control
35:22he can get stuffed
35:23i've paid you see
35:26you know that
35:27i don't know what the hell i've bought with it
35:30but i've paid a packet
35:31poznan
35:33budapest
35:34prague
35:35back to poznan
35:37have you ever been to poznan
35:39sofia
35:41kiev
35:43two bloody nervous breakdowns
35:46and still between the shafts
35:48that's big money at any age
35:50even yours
35:52no one can deny that
35:55roy
35:56and
35:57you brought me in remember
36:01if you think i'm going to the bad
36:03you've only got yourself to blame
36:05you're an educated sort of a swine
36:13an artist is a bloke who can hold
36:16two fundamentally opposing views
36:19and still function
36:21who dreamed that one up
36:22scott fitzgerald
36:24well
36:25fitzgerald knew a thing or two
36:28and i'm definitely functioning
36:32as a good socialist i'm going where the money is
36:35as a good capitalist i'm sticking with the revolution
36:39because if you can't beat it spy on it
36:42don't look like that george
36:46it's the name of the game these days
36:49you scratch my conscience i'll drive your jag right
36:53no
36:53did you get that from hayden
36:56is that one of bill's jokes about materialist england
36:59the pigs in clover society
37:01don't you like it
37:03not much
37:04of course there are competitive and acquisitive instincts in western society
37:09but they are offset against other concerns which you won't find
37:12in poznan
37:14budapest kiev
37:16sofia
37:17tell me all about it george
37:19i'm just saying that's england now man
37:24all you have to do is look out the bloody window
37:26you're seen with bill hayden a great deal these days
37:31jealous george
37:33you've got his job
37:36your control's high chamberlain
37:38what more do you want
37:39long as it lasts
37:43they do say you write the reports
37:56i thought that was roy's job
37:58no
38:11bland makes the translation
38:13you write the covering report
38:16they're typed on your machine
38:18the material's not cleared for typists
38:24percy alleline won't do
38:26is that the premise
38:28which means that merlin won't do either
38:30poor old control
38:32he isn't a pickle
38:34merlin would do if he were my source wouldn't he
38:37if dazzling bloody bill here putted along and said he took the whacking big fish
38:40and wanted to play him alone
38:41and sod the expense
38:43what would happen then
38:45control would say
38:46that's very nifty of you bill boy
38:48you do it just the way you want bill boy
38:51have some filthy jasmine tea
38:53you'll be giving me a medal now
38:55instead of sending you snooping round corridors
39:00we used to be rather a classy bunch
39:03why are we so vulgar these days
39:05he thinks percy is on the mate
39:07so he is
39:08i also want to be head boy
39:11and toby and roy have designs on your spot
39:16since when was ambition an offence in our peaceful outfit
39:21is anne at home
39:22send her out to play while you grill your old buddy
39:29who runs him bill
39:34percy
39:35who do you think
39:36carla runs him
39:38stands out a mile
39:39lower class blake with upper class sources
39:42must be a bounder
39:44bill
39:44percy is sold out to carla
39:46only possible explanation
39:48percy is our house mole
39:51i meant who runs merlin
39:52who is merlin

39:58this is a callow isn't it
40:06it's nice
40:07very nice
40:08bill
40:09doesn't anyone think my nose should be out of joint
40:13i'm supposed to be in charge of the russian target
40:17given it my best years
40:19set up networks
40:21talent spotters
40:21all mod cons
40:23you chaps on the top floor
40:25have forgotten what it's like to run an operation
40:27where it takes you three days to post a letter
40:29and you don't even get an answer for your trouble
40:32that's hardly fair to control
40:33you've heard him a hundred times
40:35on how he detests the glamour boy agents
40:38who hog the budget
40:39how he hates miracles
40:41if they put the bread and butter networks out of focus
40:44it's a pity he doesn't have the same hatred of failure
40:47has he lived with it too long
40:51face it george
40:54it's percy
40:56percy's success
40:58it's thrown control
41:00and me
41:01a bit
41:02trouble is
41:05my networks haven't been good enough
41:06this is new
41:08i fancy this
41:11very much
41:12and give it me
41:15making amends
41:17probably
41:18must have been quite a sin
41:21how is she
41:25George
41:30cut the cord
41:32get away from control
41:34he's cut you out of his life for weeks on end
41:40dispatching you about with errands a probationer could handle
41:43what's he doing up there
41:46he's been going through files of old circus folk heroes
41:51from year minus one
41:53half of them under the earth already
41:54sniffing out the dirt to see who was pink who was a queen
41:58he's given us all that hasn't he
42:01i don't think that's true
42:03senile paranoia
42:05control's going potty
42:07and he's also dying
42:10it's just a question of which gets him first
42:14and within six months of bill hayden's diagnosis
42:22control was indeed
42:24dead
42:25and what killed him
42:28operation witchcraft or operation testify
42:31neither
42:32neither
42:32it's not the melodramatic
42:36control would disapprove
42:38he died of old age
42:39a little early
42:41but testify destroyed his function in life
42:45which was a form of murder
42:47i don't have nearly enough on testify
42:52would you please uh...
42:53would you please uh...
42:55would you please uh...
42:58of course joe

43:31According to thy word
43:42For my eyes have seen thy salvation
44:01Which thou hast breathed before the face of all people
44:19To be your light, to light your chances
44:31And to be the body of thy people Israel
44:53Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost
