Transcript
00:00Join the party!
00:01Our Russian friends off his head, where did the Sheikh get hold of him?
00:18Well, his highness chooses his friends with great care.
00:23Once chosen, they're very well treated indeed.
00:28If certain colleagues in my party could see this.
00:36Yes, there are killjoys in my lock too.
00:39I find it best simply to lie about fun.
00:42Ah, your highness.
00:44Everything to your liking?
00:45Of course.
00:46A British weapon that actually works.
00:49Devour it.
00:52You're enjoying the desert?
00:54Oh, yes, yes.
00:55A lot of offer.
00:57Well, your highness doesn't open.
00:59Shut up.
01:00Come on.
01:01Come on.
01:06Um...
01:07That's for you.
01:09No show yet.
01:21There he is.
01:22Here we go.
01:23I want to apologise.
01:24I've let down my colleagues, my friends, and my country.
01:33But I have now paid for that mistake.
01:34It's the well.
01:35It's the well.
01:36It's the water.
01:37What's the real reason for your conviction illegal arms sales when you were ministered?
01:43I now go into private life.
01:44The one shining things for me from my time in prison is to have found that the Lord Jesus
01:46is my saviour.
01:47Lord, thank you.
01:52I now go into private life.
01:55The one shining thing for me for my time in prison
01:58is to have found that the Lord Jesus is my savior.
02:22We're in. Close the car park. Number one here.
02:42Well, hello, Harry.
02:44Hello, Hampton. It's better be about something big.
02:48How about the fall of the government?
02:52Yes.
02:53Yes.
03:22And you are?
03:28I thought you'd talk somewhere congenial.
03:31Good lord.
03:32Champagne.
03:35Why not?
03:38You probably see through all this.
03:41You're poisoning me.
03:42It's a new interrogation technique to disorientate the subject.
03:46I'm not here for an interrogation.
03:47I'm here at my own request.
03:50Chessy can't go.
03:52You must realize you remain a Category A security risk.
04:00Oh, how I've missed tough women.
04:02Thank you very much.
04:05Chessy.
04:06Thank you, number nine.
04:09Oh.
04:10Right.
04:11Yeah.
04:12You call yourself my numbers now, do you?
04:14The latest fad.
04:15Some youth in an Armani suit advising the Joint Intelligence Committee.
04:19I don't want the waiter here.
04:23We'll pour from now on.
04:24Yes, sir.
04:29Before we talk seriously, would you mind if we joined in a moment of prayer?
04:34You're checking.
04:36Will you do the honors?
04:38Of course.
04:38Lord of all who sees of all.
04:49Harry has gone way overboard after that psych-op seminar on disorientation effect.
04:56What are they doing?
04:58They're praying.
04:59Amen.
05:02Thank you for that, Hampton.
05:04Now, could you possibly tell us why you want to see us?
05:13Well, my trial was a deal with the government, of course.
05:17If I shut up and went down for embezzlement, I wouldn't be prosecuted for treason.
05:20But when I was in what is laughably called the prison system, I was consumed by a wholesome, burning hatred for those hypocrites who couldn't get enough of me when I was the rising star, and wouldn't come near me when I fell.
05:37So, I wrote my memoirs.
05:43Very full.
05:46Very frank memoirs.
05:48And these memoirs tell?
05:49Well, everything.
05:51Oh, the parties.
05:52Who slept with who?
05:53That kind of thing.
05:54But at a more profound level, I reveal how I tried to arrange a second supergun.
06:02Another.
06:03It didn't work out.
06:04But a lot, dear.
06:06The illegal trade-in-arms is worth millions to this country.
06:11Blind eyes are turned in all sorts of corners.
06:14And, of course, my main client was the royal family of the confederated Gulf states.
06:23You wrote about Sheikh Rassoul?
06:24Indeed.
06:25He's a wonderful host, you know.
06:27In my memoirs, I recount, rather well, I think, how one beautiful night in the desert, I corrupted a fellow British politician into the Sheikh's service.
06:40Ask me.
06:42Who?
06:43Who?
06:45Richard Maynard.
06:47Oh, yes.
06:48He fell open like a ripe peach.
06:52Screwed Welsh.
06:53Dick Maynard is one of the most respected men in Parliament.
06:57Most of his party think he's a sanctimonious little shit.
07:00What exactly did you write about Golden Boy Richard Maynard?
07:03How he continues my work.
07:07How he's hand in love with the Sheikh's Mr. Fixit, a Russian by the name of Sergei Lermov.
07:12Did you learn?
07:14Lermov.
07:15That bucket of filth.
07:16If you wanted revenge, why did you tell us this?
07:21Why did you just print it?
07:23That was the plan.
07:24But as my sentence wore on, Christ began to work in me.
07:36Five weeks ago, I let him into my life.
07:40And now I've bitterly repented writing that book.
07:46Then why didn't you burn it?
07:47I couldn't.
07:48Why not?
07:49I went to its hiding place and it was gone.
07:51Gone.
07:51Well, this book is a surprise to you, but prison is full of thieves.
07:56Did you tell the governor about this?
07:57Did you so?
07:58Well, you could have asked to see us when this happened.
08:00This is my first opportunity and I'm doing my duty.
08:04I want you to find it and destroy it.
08:08How exactly in the prison did you hide this political neutron bomb?
08:11Well, during my time behind bars, I became a very keen gardener.
08:18I'm doing my duty.
08:19I mean, I don't know.
08:20Why not?
08:21I don't know.
08:22I don't know.
08:22I don't know.
08:23It's a very nice day.
08:24I don't know.
08:24I don't know.
08:25I don't know any of my intentions.
08:26Is that where I think it is?
08:44Where's he splitting?
08:47Jesus Christ.
08:49The man lies as naturally as the rest of us breathe.
08:52What the hell?
08:53You don't get it, Tess.
08:55Get what?
08:56It's not about whether Wilder's memoirs are telling the truth about Richard Maynard,
08:59or even if they exist.
09:01It's about the damage the very idea of them can do.
09:03That's how scandal works.
09:05Well then, he's werehead.
09:07He's got us digging up prison gardens and fingering the Prime Minister's best friend.
09:11What do you suggest we do, ignore the whole thing?
09:13We've got to check Maynard out.
09:15I can see that.
09:16There's a routine M.O.D. briefing tomorrow.
09:19I've moved heaven and earth to get Maynard there,
09:21and I want you to sit in on it.
09:23Stroke him.
09:24See if he meows.
09:27Hampton Wilder and Richard Maynard did go on a visit to the Confederated Gulf States nine years ago.
09:32It was a general goodwill business trip across party,
09:35and they sealed the delivery of some small British arms, but nothing spectacular.
09:39And there was a night in the desert.
09:42Maynard's file.
09:42And Wilder's.
09:56Ellie!
09:57Ellie!
10:08This is my daddy.
10:09Matthew Archer.
10:13Hello, Tom.
10:16Oh, yeah.
10:18The man who fiddles with computers.
10:20That's it.
10:23And you're the oil man, X.
10:24You're just back from the Gulf.
10:29It's a glamorous part of the world.
10:31You should come out there, Ellie.
10:34Gushes oil, doesn't it?
10:37Doesn't it?
10:38Just like you gushed promises to Ellie.
10:39Cupcake.
10:43Where do we go?
10:44Don't do this in front of my kid.
10:45You haven't been in front of your kid for two years.
10:47Excellent.
10:49Go on, Cupcake.
10:50Do mummy a drawing.
10:51Okay.
10:52I'll do it.
10:54Quick.
10:54Quick.
10:55Quick.
10:58Cupcake.
11:00Warning you.
11:03Chummy.
11:04Thank you very much.
11:05Ring me.
11:26Police Central traffic.
11:28Brian?
11:29Mark Hodge.
11:30Hey, Mark.
11:31You home again?
11:31Yeah, back in the land of the living.
11:33Listen, Brian, I want to pull a favour off you.
11:37Car number.
11:39You said your name was Matthew.
11:41Slip of the tongue.
11:43No, it wasn't.
11:47It comes out of what is wrong.
11:51It's your bloody job.
11:52Look, I hardly know what my name is myself.
11:55Oh, well, boo-hoo!
11:57Poor you!
11:58Ellie, this is...
11:58Look, don't say anything.
12:00Because anything that you say will be wrong, okay?
12:10Maisie and I are going to Di's old flat.
12:12Where?
12:14Di's flat.
12:15You can't leave.
12:22Won't be secure.
12:23What do you mean?
12:26Once you've lived with a spy, you can't leave because of reasons of national security.
12:30There is a risk.
12:31It's real.
12:33That's why the service doesn't like mixed affairs.
12:35What?
12:36MI5 officers sleeping with...
12:38Um, real people.
12:42Have you any idea?
12:44Horrible these things sound.
12:46Dependents at risk.
12:47Mixed affairs.
12:55Amazing alpaca.
12:57This is so unfair.
13:00Do you mean to me or to you?
13:02Minister, how do I know?
13:18Miss Tessa Phillips.
13:19How do you do, minister?
13:22Well, Harry, haven't been briefed in the Holy of Holies before?
13:26You've been to Thames House, surely.
13:28Never?
13:29Just looks like an office.
13:30I suppose it's all in the mine, that's secrecy.
13:33Absolutely.
13:35This is a briefing about the illegal sale of battlefield weapons out of this country.
13:39We're very eager to have interdepartmental input on this,
13:41so I'd like to thank the minister for being here.
13:44Now I'd like all of us to take a look at this man.
13:47Sergei Lermov.
13:49Ex-culture detaché at the Russian embassy.
13:51That is, ex-KGB.
13:53Yes.
13:53Where are all the old comrades now?
13:55Well, some of them, like Mr. Lermov,
13:58have become powerful men.
14:00He has moved around the world, but at present he's resident in London.
14:03He works for a charity called Hope for Chechnya,
14:06which is trying to get food and medicine to that wretched part of the planet.
14:09No doubt wrapped up on the odd rocket grenade launcher.
14:11It's this man's immigration status.
14:13Well, we can throw him out any time.
14:15Why don't we?
14:15Because he's also the middleman for a gun-running cartel run out of the Middle East,
14:19confederated Gulf states, a country with which we are friendly.
14:23Indeed.
14:24What we need, Minister, is to liaise closely.
14:28It would help us enormously if you could authorise a thorough audit of all weapons stocks.
14:33It's a massive task.
14:36You suspect weapons are being stolen and sold abroad through this man?
14:40Dear God.
14:41Well, of course.
14:43We will cooperate fully.
14:45Thank you, Minister.
14:46That was very informative, Harry.
14:50I, um, I think I met him.
14:53Lermov.
14:54On a trip a few years ago.
14:56Unsavory bastard, I thought.
14:58I told him I'm six, of course.
14:59Of course.
15:00Would you like a personal tour of the more sensitive areas of Tennis House?
15:06For the cameras.
15:08Where?
15:09Tiny.
15:10State-of-the-art.
15:11See?
15:12What do you know?
15:13It's a new security drive.
15:15Ever since the war on terrorism began, there's been much more money for everything.
15:19Only this.
15:20It's not perfect.
15:22There's a dead spot just beyond these doors.
15:24Dear, very dear.
15:28What happened?
15:31I'm about to get you.
15:33What do you mean?
15:35What are you involved with?
15:36Well, what do you mean?
15:42Yes.
15:43Yes.
15:53Yes.
15:53Yes.
15:53Yes.
15:54Yes.
15:55Yes.
16:06Shh. Tessa. Tessa, you are completely mad.
16:12Well, a bunk in the MI5 building has got to be worth some air miles.
16:18Oh, for God's sake. Let's just...
16:21We've got to talk. Somewhere safe.
16:26Oh, Brian, yeah. What have you got?
16:29That number you gave me was listed.
16:31What's listed me?
16:32Listen, I don't know you. I don't want to. I've got to go.
16:35What?
16:44Mr. Hod. You all right?
16:46Mr. Mark Hod? Yeah, sir.
16:48I've got some questions.
16:49Call now.
16:51How about my phone call?

19:12How well do you miss Sergei Lomov?
19:14I told Harry I'm going to do more of this.
19:16What is this? Where's this coming from?
19:18Hampton Wilder came to see us the moment he was released.
19:21Hampton Wilder? You believe what?
19:23I'm joking.
19:24Are you involved in any kind of deal?
19:30Do you, for a moment, believe...
19:32Believe that you're an unpatriotic lying bastard?
19:35I don't know.
19:37You can cheat on your wife.
19:39Maybe you can cheat on your country.
19:41Oh, God.
19:44I can help you.
19:47But you've got to tell me.
19:49There is nothing to tell.

24:58oh
24:59oh
25:00Are you an answer, madam?
25:02Thank you, madam.
25:04I mean, a lot of fans are in front of us.
25:07I'm a sort of bugger-skinned dancer.
25:10So kindly don't tell him they can.
25:30Tessa's running Phantom Agents.
25:38How did you know?
25:40Because I went to meet one and she turned up and she told me.
25:45Coffee, now.
26:08This is irritating.
26:16Gentlemen, thank you so much for coming out here.
26:20They'll kill you now.
26:21I'm waiting for this all year.
26:22Was it worth it?
26:23You're not your partner, are you?
26:25Isn't it the most repugnant music ever written?
26:27It is a bit of a closet thing these days.
26:30People can't handle the dark side.
26:32So, what can I do you for?
26:34Have you termed an SVR agent named Sergei Ledovar?
26:38Sergei, yes. Terrific agent.
26:40Of course, we noticed your Section A has been all over.
26:42We've had to have a word with him.
26:44May I ask why?
26:46We think he's trying to smear a government minister.
26:48Sergei, he'll say anything about anyone.
26:50It's part of his charm.
26:52I assume we're talking about the Dick Maynard thing.
26:56Jules, what is going on?
26:59Alright, I'll send him over in the morning.
27:01Send what over?
27:02Hampton Wilder's memoirs.
27:06That's what you're salivating for, no?
27:08They exist?
27:09Of course they exist.
27:10We dug him up as soon as he put him in the prison's rose bed.
27:13We really aren't on top of this one, aren't you?
27:15Yeah, we put an agent inside the prison as an invader just to keep an eye.
27:19MI6 had an agent inside the prison.
27:21What do you have on Dick Maynard?
27:23Do you have any trace that he and Lem have did business together?
27:25Not outside the memoirs.
27:27So this is a straight slender?
27:29Looks that way.
27:34Alright, I'll tell you.
27:36It was Dick Maynard who shot Hampton Wilder to us.
27:40Without him blowing the whistle, Wilder would never have been brought down.
27:42So it's straight revenge.
27:44Well, the trouble with whistleblowers is they do tend to play their own tune.
27:47Do you distrust Maynard?
27:49To my mind, there's an ambiguity there.
27:52Well, you mustn't miss the ride of the Valkyrie.
27:54Nice to see you gentlemen working so late.
27:56You can't stop running the country while the restaurant is through.
27:59Good evening.
28:06She gave me money.
28:07You mean the ten grand next door behind the plug socket?
28:12Yeah, I was giving your room a suite, part of the game.
28:14Gee, I don't want to play that any more, okay?
28:16So what's Harry say?
28:17Well, nothing. I haven't told him.
28:19Her?
28:21What if it's a real lot Tessa's running? I can't just...
28:23What? That involves giving you ten grand.
28:25She's got to be bent, Zoe.
28:26Well, just... Tessa's...
28:28She's eating you alive.
28:29Go to Harry first thing in the morning.
28:31Oh.
28:32Look, you've laid this on me. Now I'm involved.
28:34Look, this is my problem, alright?
28:35I've got to keep...
28:36Shit.
28:37I've got to keep squeaky clean with Harry.
28:39He said I could be one of the brightest and the best.
28:42Yeah, he said that to me, too.
28:44Well, then we are both great spooks.
28:55You think?
28:58You are. You've got to buy vodka.
29:00Look, I'm sorry. Don't let Tessa mess you up.
29:09You're too...
29:11Let's go.
29:26I have decided to say yes.
29:48Oh. Great.
29:51Wow.
29:55Nice rat.
29:58You must be sorry.
29:59Celestine told me about you.
30:01Did he?
30:04What's going on?
30:07My cat died.
30:08Yeah.
30:09Yeah.
30:10I got to piss.
30:12So sad.
30:14Don't worry.
30:15We can get you another pussycat.
30:18Where is this room?
30:20Oh, here.
30:26Okay, speak.
30:27I asked her to spend the weekend.
30:29Oh, did you?
30:30What?
30:31Without one word to me?
30:32You're not my mum.
30:33The point is to ask if you've cleared this, I suppose.
30:35Well, I didn't really think it would happen.
30:37What about our cover stories, Danny?
30:39Right.
30:40I'm a dealer in an exchange room in the city.
30:41What are you?
30:42What am I?
30:43You're a cleaner.
30:44Am I what?
30:45Hey, she asked me what my cat mate did, and that's what I said.
30:49Oh, for God's sake, Danny.
30:51There it is, Dean.
30:54Can we catch our water?
30:56Where are you from?
31:09Vladivostok.
31:10Ah.
31:11From the east of our country.
31:13Ah, ha, ha.
31:14Sexy bodies.
31:17Do you miss Asher?
31:19My motherland is...
31:21at where I'm being shy.
31:24Like here?
31:27Like here?
31:33Why not?
31:34In the heart of what used to be the British Empire.
31:46They say you're a party animal.
31:51Who say?
31:52Who say?!
31:53You say!
31:55How they pass farther...
31:57This makes us the wonder of it.
32:00Thirdly.
32:01What's going on?
32:31I'm just going to go into work.
32:33In the middle of the night?
32:34Crisis on the Singapore market.
32:36Sorry, why are you dressed?
32:39Early office cleaning.
32:45Danny and Zoe are coming in.
32:46No.
32:48This is not for lower ranks.
32:49Are you going army on us, Harry?
32:53You can't leave her here.
32:55We've got to.
32:56Danny, there are bills and stuff with our real names on all over this flat.
33:00She won't notice.
33:02It's terrible, Tradecraft.
33:03Just throw her out.
33:05But I like her.
33:06We'll throw her out nicely.
33:11Yeah?
33:12It's me.
33:13Oh, Rodney.
33:14You can go back to bed now.
33:16Right.
33:18It's off.
33:19Look, I'm coming back to bed.
33:26What happened to Singapore?
33:27It went away.
33:28What about the cleaning?
33:30Wasn't that bloody dirty?
33:33Look, don't go.
33:34You want to sleep with her and with me?
33:37You are insane.
33:39Within 12 hours of fingering a government minister for corruption and Airwolf is murdered.
33:50So maybe Maynard has a guardian angel.
33:53Turn that thing off, someone!
33:57What's going on?
33:59I can't just stop something.
34:00Some sort of infantile practical joke?
34:10Thank you, Tess.
34:11Jed?
34:14Oh, jolly japes in the playground, Tom.
34:16Well, I don't think you'll be bloody laughing long.
34:18There is someone in this building who is seriously disloyal.
34:30We could be looking at him or her right now.
34:32That is a very serious allegation to level at your sister's service.
34:35Well, my sister should be bent over and given a good whack on the behind.
34:39I don't find that helpful.
34:40Helpful?
34:41You get an excellent asset of mine killed and you want my help.
34:44Oh, well.
34:49Suffer the little children to come unto the senior service.
34:53I suppose you want to read Hampton Wilder's memoirs.
34:57That would be useful.
35:05I know that I can entrust such sensitive material to this organization.
35:10But I am taking pity.
35:12I suppose we are, after all, on the same side.
35:16Needless to say, I shall expect your registry to monitor all readings.
35:21It's been a very, very long night.
35:23The death of an agent.
35:25Possibly one of the worst productions of Wagner I have ever seen.
35:29Dear God, the Valkyrie wall dressed in scuba gear.
35:33Good night to you, gentlemen.
35:34He's setting us up.
35:42I can feel it in my water.
35:44Oh.
35:45I don't know.
35:47We'll read this in the morning.
35:50You go at Maynard.
35:51Go at him hard.
35:53He's a minister.
35:53We'll need Downing Street clearance.
35:55Bugger Downing Street.
35:56Everyone, this is a speed reading job.
36:19You know the procedure.
36:20Nobody will leave the grid until we're done.
36:22All copies are numbered and will be collected by registry.
36:25We're looking for inconsistencies, errors of fact, anything that will discredit this manuscript or, indeed, verify it.
36:33Maximum concentration.
36:36Begin.
36:36Christ.
36:52Shit.
36:55Christ.

40:55Why?
40:56Don't know, I just thought...
40:57Did you do something to him?
40:59Like what?
41:00I don't know.
41:03His flat's empty.
41:05His mobile's dead.
41:08You got a mate of whose in the Met to put a trace on my car.
41:12And your zombies frightened him off.
41:13Could have been someone trying to get to me.
41:15Yeah, but actually, it was the father of my child.
41:19Yeah.
41:25I didn't, er...
41:26I didn't try and stop him giving him a hard time.
41:30I'm sorry.
41:34You're disrespectful.
41:36I'm in love.
41:41Ellie!
41:45Ellie!
41:46You've seen the send spread.
42:01Someone late, didn't they?
42:03Stunished.
42:04Oh.
42:04There is no way the leak could have come from us.
42:14I know.
42:15I was scrupulously paranoid about the copies.
42:17Who then?
42:18Remain calm.
42:19Steer the ship onward.
42:22Come.
42:23Sorry, but...
42:25No, no, Danny.
42:27It's all over the wires.
42:29Richard Maynard just resigned from the government.
42:31Well, there we have it.
42:33Thank you, Danny.
42:36Maynard's resigned.
42:37Spectacular, isn't it, when politicians destroy themselves.
42:41Go away, you nasty little man.
42:46Sorry.
42:46So, if it's not us, and it's not Downing Street, it's...
42:55Are you there yet?
42:56Jules, Civita.
42:57Go on.
42:58The sisters are using the memoirs to get rid of Maynard.
43:02On?
43:04MI6 got hold of Hampton Wilder's memoirs, full of hatred for Maynard,
43:08and are using them to destroy him.
43:10And they're setting us up to blame us for the leak to the press.
43:13Oh, yes.
43:15But maynard shot Wilder from I6.
43:18Why would they turn against him?
43:19I think I may have drinkies with Mr. Civita.
43:22And I think this thing stinks to high heaven.
43:26Have they just destroyed a good man?
43:28Don't brood, Tom.
43:30Politicians are conniving, wheeler-dealing scum.
43:32Don't have a fit of morals over them.
43:34They wouldn't over you.
43:34Don't be afraid of me.
43:37I'm sure I'm here.
43:46Okay.
43:47That's a surprise.
43:56Look, you bastards.
44:01All right.
44:11You see Christmas.
44:24Can I offer you something?
44:26No.
44:27I thought alcohol would welcome me back, but, um, she's turned against me.
44:37You leaked about Maynard to the press, didn't you?
44:42Ah.
44:44You lied about Richard Maynard, didn't you?
44:49I don't think he'll ever forgive me.
44:52Nor do I.
44:53He destroyed his career.
44:55I didn't mean him.
44:58Did you throw Lerm off to the wolves?
45:01No idea who did that.
45:03Good riddance, though.
45:05He was getting much too big for his murky pond.
45:09It's over.
45:10I'm done for.
45:19Self-pitying bastard.
45:21Fight back.
45:22Oh, wake up, Tessa.
45:24I've been destroyed.
45:26I can't stand this.
45:28Not after what I've done for you.
45:31And, uh, what prey was that?
45:35I had a man killed for you.
45:40Another.
45:40Why?
45:41Why?
45:42Why what?
45:45Why did you destroy Maynard?
45:47Why?
45:47Why what?
45:49Why did you destroy Maynard?
45:51You had him?
45:59Let him have you.
46:00How could you possibly do that?
46:04How could you possibly do that?
46:06Simple.
46:08Tipped off the Russians. He was too tiny.
46:11And, er...
46:13And why would you think, in any conceivable, twisted way,
46:17that his death would help me?
46:19He could have exposed you.
46:21It was a gift.
46:22A gift?
46:23Well, a man's life.
46:26Dear God.
46:28Well, I know that secret services can be ruthless.
46:33Oh, well.
46:35From what I hear, he's a dog.
46:39Good riddance.
46:41From what you hear?
46:43You mean from what you know?
46:46So, what's he been?
46:49I have no idea and don't really care.
46:52I am going to sit here and drink your drink until you tell me.
46:58You think you can go one-to-one with me in a drinking contest?
47:02Oh, yes.
47:04You slandered Maynard. He was innocent.
47:11I wanted revenge.
47:13But I genuinely repent writing those memoirs.
47:16I'd like you to believe that.
47:18I was going to destroy them. I went to dig them up, and, er...
47:21They weren't there.
47:23Someone else had need of them.
47:25No, I never had any current dealings with Leomoff, ever.
47:29If you were innocent, why did he resign?
47:31Political, critical mass.
47:33The rumours were too much. They could have damaged the PM.
47:36Even he, in the end, had to ask me to go.
47:39I agreed, of course. He's my friend.
47:41He's left you with nothing.
47:43Not exactly.
47:45I've been offered a professorship, teaching politics at Harvard.
47:49It's been kept warm for me for some time.
47:51You're going to America?
47:53I'm being looked after.
47:55A new life.
47:57No politics, no wife.
47:59No mistress.
48:01Looking forward to it.
48:03Goodbye, Tess.
48:05All right, Harry.
48:07Richard Maynard was fast-tracking up through the government ranks.
48:13With his Middle Eastern knowledge, experience at the Ministry of Defense,
48:17he would all too soon have made a brilliant Foreign Secretary.
48:21There was no way that we, or the Foreign Office, were going to let that happen.
48:25Why not?
48:26Because the white as snow Richard Maynard was a CIA asset.
48:32Who could we really have? A British Foreign Secretary who was a CIA agent.
48:49When did they recruit him?
48:51Years back.
48:52When did you find out?
48:53Six months ago.
48:55A drunken conversation with an American cousin in this very bar.
48:58Didn't the PM?
48:59The PM is blind to the faults of his friends.
49:01We had to run another reason for getting rid of Maynard.
49:03The memoirs were a godsend.
49:05It's a good outcome all round, Harry.
49:07Nasty foreigner dead.
49:09Dodgy Brit disgraced.
49:11Ship afloat?
49:13Absolutely.
49:15I've been involved in a filthy trade.
49:19Weapons I helped to be sold illegally have almost certainly found their way to terrorists.
49:28And I wrote lies that destroyed a good man.
49:35You think I'm irredeemable, don't you?
49:41I think that's between you and your saviour.
49:45If you really believe me.
49:47Oh, I do.
49:49But he asks a heavy price.
49:53Well done.
49:55Do you want to see?
49:56I'm sorry.
49:57I can't live with myself and see.
49:58Oh.
49:59Really?
50:00Yeah.
50:01I'll leave it to your prayers.
50:02I'll leave it to your prayers.
50:07Beep.
50:08Oh.
50:09Oh.
50:10I can't live with myself and see.
50:13Oh, really?
50:16Yeah.
50:18I'll leave it to your prayers.
50:22I'm in.
50:42What are you doing?
50:43I'm way ahead of you, boss.
50:52What are you doing?
