TVTranscript
00:00I have been accused of many things, but the most familiar accusation is that I mix politics with religion.
00:14Well, why not? Aren't they the two most potent forces in the world today? Aren't we controlled by one or by the other?
00:26So why shouldn't they be brought together to work in perfect harmony, work to create a better world for us all?
00:37She's wonderful tonight.
00:39Annie's wonderful every night. You know what?
00:43Because she believes in every word she says. Really believes.
00:47So do you.
00:49Sure. But I temper my belief with a touch of hard-headed realist.
00:53The frequent accusation against me is that I am a communist.
00:56They say I am a communist because I oppose the bosses.
01:00They say I am a communist because I oppose either.
01:03They say I am a communist because I work from where he and she belong at the front.
01:09A communist? No, dear friends.
01:13I'd say that makes me a humanist who believed in God and man.
01:25Just over $41,000.
01:27Well, that's even better than Boston.
01:29Well, it could be even better still.
01:32Well, that's when she ought to make the appeal for the money.
01:35Not on their way in, but then. Right?
01:38Right when she's got them in the palm of her hand.
01:42I'll have to talk to her about it.
01:45Still, $41,000 is in chicken food.
01:50But I don't mind the opposition.
01:59I don't mind the accusations.
02:02Because you and I both know what that opposition means, don't we?
02:06Yes.
02:07It means they are getting scared of this movement.
02:11It means that I am getting through to them.
02:13Getting through to where it hurts.
02:15That's the wind-up.
02:16Better get our car around the back.
02:20But I don't mean I.
02:24Because, in all humility, this would not be possible without you.
02:30The Workers' Christian Alliance!
02:33Workers' Christian Alliance!
02:36That means you and me!
02:38Brothers, sisters, that means you and me!
02:47Best!
02:48Step 1!
02:49Let's go!
02:50Let's go!
02:51Come on!
02:52A little stick!
03:04A little stick!
03:08Help!
03:09Be right back.
03:11Look out!
03:42We have come a long way since that moment, two years ago, when an assassin tried to take me from you. We have come a long way. The Workers' Christian Alliance, now officially the fourth most potent force and still gaining.
04:05Because we are not just a political force. We are a Christian force, too.
04:14We are a Christian force.
04:44We all know the story, and it was just another crank, a political non-runner, till someone took a shot at her, missed her heart, and hit the public right hand as a fickle one.
04:52And now she's a mixture of Joan of Arc and the Toll Pottle Martyr.
04:55She has a big following. Millions.
04:57And everywhere she goes, there's trouble.
04:59Anyway, a big following's mainly in California, so why us?
05:02Because she's coming here. She's coming home next week for one special meeting.
05:08Highly publicised, of course.
05:09Of course. You can't keep Annie out of the papers.
05:12Gosh, I don't envy the special branch.
05:14Won't be special branch.
05:16CI5. We will be looking after Annie Ervin.
05:20For God's sake, why us?
05:21Because I want it.
05:23Because I say so.
05:32Because I want it.
05:34Because I say so, Bull.
05:37From what he says goes.
05:39Yeah.
05:40Ah, this could be different, though, you know.
05:41I've got a feeling.
05:42Sense it.
05:43Annie Ervin's different.
05:45Yeah, she comes under the category of visiting VIP, doesn't she?
05:48Yeah, we should visit someplace else.
05:50Yeah, so do I.
05:52And Cowley wants her looked after.
05:54Well, he might find that harder than it sounds.
05:56Well, because someone tried to kill her before.
05:58Yeah, I might well try and kill her again.
06:01Yes.
06:02Yes, I'll be pleased to appear tomorrow night.
06:05Yes.
06:07TV interview.
06:08Tomorrow night we have the ambassador's dinner.
06:10We can fit it in.
06:12Or cancel it.
06:13Sometimes not to appear at the last moment is actually better than appearing.
06:16I have an idea. I've said I will appear.
06:17Yes, but...
06:18Oh, we can fit it in. I'm sure we can fit it in.
06:20Or at least try.
06:21It's not just a question of trying. I've said I will appear.
06:25Of course, if we rearrange the party schedule, we...
06:27We can't. We just can't...
06:28Oh, damn.
06:32Yes?
06:39Miss Ervin never gives an interview without a photographer.
06:42It's a matter of policy.
06:44This is impossible.
06:46In Chicago all over again, you've set Annie to a tough schedule.
06:48She can do it.
06:50Can't you?
06:50Stanley, sometimes I think you look on me just as a piece of valuable property.
06:54Don't forget...
06:54Don't forget.
06:58Lax.
06:59Lousy.
07:00Lousier than lousy.
07:01You are now all dead.
07:03What it means is you would be dead if it wasn't us.
07:07Lovable us.
07:08Yeah.
07:09Well, you can relax. We're not going to kill you.
07:11Although almost anybody else could have done. Your security's lousy.
07:14Yeah.
07:15Good job you're tested.
07:16It is, isn't it?
07:16Just consider us the finger in the dike, man.
07:18Yeah, we're, uh, CI5. I'm Doyle. He's Bodie.
07:22What kind of a joke is this?
07:24Do you know who you're dealing with?
07:26I know who we might have been dealing with. Three corpses.
07:29One black, two white.
07:30Don't worry. We'll have security so tight you'll have to send out for oxygen.
07:33We don't have to stand for this.
07:36I'll call the embassy.
07:37Come on, Stanley. They're just doing their job.
07:39And very well, too.
07:41I shall feel quite safe with you two around.
07:43CI5, you say?
07:45Yeah, criminal intelligence. Mr Cowley's orders.
07:47Cowley?
07:50George Cowley?
07:51Yep.
07:52Georgie sent you.
07:59What?
08:01I was thinking of when Cowley was showing us that film.
08:04And he said, handsome woman, eh?
08:06And you said...
08:07Yeah, I know what I said. Not bad for an olden.
08:09Yeah.
08:11Georgie.
08:12This is not a job for CI5, you know.
08:17I know.
08:18It's only because Cowley wants it, because he says so.
08:21What about this Irving woman? Do you think she and Cowley ever...
08:24Oh, come on.
08:25Cowley and the opposite sex.
08:26Must be joking.
08:27Well, he must be an attractive man.
08:30I suppose.
08:31I mean, he's a bit aggressive, but...
08:33He would be attractive, wouldn't he?
08:36Not now.
08:38Anyway, too busy ducking insults.
08:40Yeah.
08:45What?
08:45Oh, I was just thinking Cowley and a woman.
08:50Yeah.
08:51He'd kick the door down.
08:53Throw her on the bed.
08:54And frisk her.
08:54The extra man on the floor above.
09:02In position.
09:04And the man across the street.
09:05Ready and waiting.
09:06Good.
09:07Good.
09:08Well, we seem to have any of and secure, eh?
09:10I trust you both.
09:11I trust your judgment.
09:13Nevertheless, sir, um...
09:15Well, Doyle and myself, sir, we were...
09:18Well, we'd feel more secure if...
09:20No, well, we'd feel happier, sir,
09:22if you'd go there yourself.
09:25Check us out.
09:26Go there myself.
09:27We'd feel happier, sir.
09:30Go there myself?
09:31Yeah, give her the one sofa, you know.
09:33The assignment, sir, stakeout.
09:36Yes.
09:37Yes, that might be a good idea, buddy.
09:40Yes, I might just do that.
09:42All right, carry on.
09:43Yeah, sir.
09:43Cupid.
09:52Cupid.
09:58Hey!
09:59All right, Turner.
10:01But nice, very nice.
10:03Keep it up.
10:03We are beginning to challenge the governments of...
10:09Stanley?
10:12Stanley!
10:12Stanley!
10:24Have I changed so much?
10:27Georgie!
10:28Georgie, come in.
10:30Come in.
10:33You've hardly changed at all.
10:35Oh, the hair's thinned down a wee bit.
10:38Georgie, it's good to see you.
10:40And you, Annie.
10:41You're looking wonderful.
10:42Oh.
10:42It's true.
10:44It was always true.
10:46Whenever I see you, I wish I had sore eyes.
10:48What?
10:49Well, you'd be a sight for them, wouldn't you?
10:52I've been half expecting you.
10:54Well, your men, earlier today.
10:56You're looking after me now, aren't you?
10:58An ambition finally realized.
11:00To look after you, Annie.
11:04Would you like a drink?
11:05I wouldn't say no.
11:06A weed ram, a pure malt scotch.
11:07Oh, now I know you haven't changed.
11:10Tell me all your news.
11:11News?
11:12Well, how long is it since we last met?
11:15Must be all of ten years.
11:16Oh, close on.
11:17My God.
11:19Ten years.
11:21Where have they all gone, Georgie?
11:23In my case, into hard and diligent work.
11:26You never married, then?
11:27Of course not.
11:29You didn't have to ask that, Annie.
11:31You know that as far as I'm concerned, you will always...
11:43Cheers to you, Georgie.
11:44Bye.
11:46Cheers.
11:49I've been married twice.
11:52Well, you always were a passionate woman, Annie.
11:55Foolish, too.
11:56I've been divorced both times.
11:57Oh, I know, I know.
11:58I've kept up with you, Annie.
12:00God knows you're a difficult enough woman to keep up with, but I've kept up.
12:03But we had fun, didn't we, George?
12:05Do you remember the fun we had?
12:06I'll never forget it.
12:07Oh, it's great to have you back, Annie, if only for a few days.
12:12And to tell you the truth, since I heard you were coming, I've planned a few things.
12:15You even got a couple of tickets for the opera.
12:17Remember how we used to queue up for the opera?
12:20We sat so high up in the gallery, you said they should have provided oxygen.
12:24I'm going to be rather busy, George.
12:26No, no, I'll have none of that.
12:27A few hours off, Annie.
12:28If not for me, you owe that to yourself.
12:31And this is the Scala Company.
12:32It's a complete sellout.
12:33But I'm fairly important now, you see.
12:36I can wangle a few tickets if I have to.
12:38So, if I pick you up here about half an hour before...
12:42Annie!
12:49I'm sorry, I didn't know you had company.
12:52Stanley.
12:54This is George Cowley, an old dear friend.
12:57This is Stanley Langdon.
12:59Stanley is my campaign manager.
13:01Delighted to meet you, Mr Cowley.
13:03Annie has often spoken about you.
13:05How do you do?
13:06Now I understand you'll be looking after her for me.
13:11Well, I'd like to talk to you about that later, if I may.
13:13I'm sure your security arrangements are first class,
13:16but it would help if I could know about them, too.
13:19My office door is always open to you, Mr Langdon.
13:22To both of you.
13:24Well, it was good to see you, Annie.
13:26You're going so soon?
13:28We've both got a pretty full schedule ahead of us.
13:30I'll see you again before I go.
13:32Perhaps.
13:33Oh, Mr Langdon, I've got a couple of tickets for the opera here.
13:38I won't be able to use them myself.
13:39Maybe you and Annie would like to...
13:41We won't have the time.
13:43Anyway, opera, we neither of us care for it.
13:48Good night.
13:48Good night, sir.
14:10Do you think she suspects?
14:11No, she feels totally safe.
14:15I don't mean about that.
14:16Does she suspect about us?
14:18No, Annie believes only what she wants to believe.
14:23There are many similarities.
14:25Similarities?
14:25You are beautiful.
14:30Just beautiful.
14:32We're going to make her the martyr of the decade.
14:34Like Kennedy, or Christ.
14:36Or Perron.
14:37They, all of them, their influence was greater after their death.
14:41I suppose that's what martyr really means.
14:43A new beginning.
14:45Stronger.
14:45Like phoenix rising up from the ashes.
14:48Yeah.
14:49I like that.
14:50Annie Irving like a phoenix.
14:53Dead, but, uh...
14:53That her soul goes marching on.
14:56Stronger than before.
14:58Richer.
14:58And you, a spiritual leader.
15:02Hmm.
15:03Would you accept treasurer?
15:06I'd better get back or she'd be wondering where I am.
15:09How will you do it?
15:11I've been thinking about that.
15:13Annie's death will have to be an event in itself.
15:16Something so horrendous that it will shock the world.
15:19It will have to be an event in itself.
15:22Hey, do you reckon they were childhood sweethearts?
15:25Eh?
15:26Cowley and Annie Irving.
15:28Well, they must be ten years older than she is.
15:30Childhood sweethearts.
15:32Never.
15:33Yeah, I reckon it's a story there, though, don't you?
15:35Eh?
15:36Yeah.
15:37Love unrequited, I think.
15:41You turning sentimental, Pony?
15:42No.
15:43Nosey.
15:44And I'm also something of an opportunist.
15:46Listen.
15:47Cowley's got a file on us like that.
15:49He even knows what side of the bed we get out of.
15:51And whose bed?
15:52Yeah.
15:53So it'd be nice to have something over him, wouldn't it?
15:55Hmm?
15:55Let's face it.
15:56We don't know much about George Cowley.
15:58Except he's the best man I've ever worked for.
16:00Hmm.
16:01Well, I'm not knocking his virtues.
16:02I can list them from A to B.
16:05Come on, you know you like him.
16:07Okay, so I like him.
16:09But I'd like him even more if you let us know a little bit more about him.
16:11You know, his Achilles heel.
16:13More human.
16:15What, human enough for a childhood sweetheart?
16:18Hmm.
16:20All right.
16:21The dates are wrong.
16:22What about MI5?
16:23What about it?
16:24Well, when he was in MI5, Annie could have been the beautiful spy.
16:27You know.
16:28Hitched her up over a wall,
16:30caught a glimpse of her neckers.
16:31University.
16:33That's when he met her.
16:34He was a major then.
16:37Didn't finish his education, you see.
16:39Too busy fighting the bloody war.
16:41As soon as it was over, he caught up.
16:43Went to university,
16:44and that's when he met this Annie O.
16:46She was a slip of a girl then,
16:48but tough.
16:49Very tough.
16:51His Achilles heel.
16:52I used to wonder about that.
16:54And then one day,
16:55I ran into the tomb in a pub down by the river.
16:58Of course, the major had no sight to him.
17:01I'd just been a corporal,
17:02but it was allowed, Charlie.
17:04Have a drink, Charlie.
17:06And I watched the pair of them.
17:08And I watched him, watching her.
17:10What happened, Charlie?
17:12She's a woman, isn't she?
17:14And a tough'un.
17:16Funny, though,
17:17I once helped carry him
17:20nearly a mile over open country
17:22with a broken leg.
17:23No.
17:24Every step, agony.
17:26But it was nothing compared
17:27with the hurt I saw when she left him.
17:30What happened, Charlie?
17:33I shouldn't have told you.
17:35I wouldn't expect you to go
17:36chasing up the wrong tree,
17:37not understanding.
17:40No, you're not going to go
17:41blabbing about this.
17:42Women.
17:54These
17:54will be distributed
17:56at least one hour
17:58before her meeting begins.
18:02Our march will start
18:04from the north side,
18:05and the chant will be just one word.
18:07because the boys that you buy in
18:10never seem to be able
18:12to remember
18:12more than one word.
18:16That word
18:17will be whore.
18:20It's a very calculated word.
18:22It's hard,
18:23it's easy to shout,
18:24and it's very insulting.
18:26Insulting enough
18:27to guarantee
18:28a physical retaliation.
18:30Besides,
18:32anyone on our side
18:32will know what we mean.
18:34She's been married twice.
18:36She's currently
18:38sporting a black paramour.
18:42Frank,
18:43you will arrange
18:44a spontaneous demonstration
18:45outside the meeting place proper.
18:48Rehearse your boys
18:49carefully in that.
18:51Any questions?
18:53Right.
18:54And let us all
18:55make sure
18:55the fists fly.
18:56Hmm?
19:06Oh,
19:08terribly sorry.
19:17I take it
19:18this is all
19:19in the cause
19:19of law and order?
19:20Something like that.
19:30You see?
19:31Pockets.
19:38Mr. Howard.
19:40I have never seen that before.
19:42It was planted.
19:43You planted it.
19:44Did you see me plant that?
19:45No.
19:47He just bumped into me.
19:48Well, you better look
19:49where you're going,
19:49then, aren't you?
19:50Come on, it's a bust.
19:50Okay, wait outside.
20:04Hello, George.
20:06John.
20:08Those boys of yours
20:09are very good.
20:11Neatest plant
20:11I ever experienced.
20:12I'd say them will.
20:14As you did me.
20:16Sit down.
20:16Charlie, you haven't
20:19forgotten that.
20:20Six bloody weeks
20:21of training.
20:22That assault course.
20:23I never will.
20:25You pushed me, George.
20:27You showed me
20:28what I was really
20:28capable of.
20:30Yes, I've got
20:30a lot to answer for.
20:32Major Cowley.
20:3416th Special Commando.
20:36A long time ago.
20:37You were close then, George.
20:39Really close.
20:42You know,
20:43I've often thought
20:44if you'd thrown in
20:45with me
20:46whether you're bigotry.
20:48No, John.
20:49You and I
20:49are diametrically opposed.
20:51I respect you
20:52as a soldier
20:52but for everything else
20:53about you,
20:54your ethics,
20:55your politics,
20:55the emotions
20:56you engender.
20:57I have a loathing
20:58of such depth
20:59you could never
20:59measure it.
21:06My lawyer
21:07will get me out,
21:08you know.
21:09Eventually.
21:10After the investigation
21:11has run its course.
21:13Approximately one hour
21:14after Annie Irving's
21:15meeting is concluded.
21:18Which prison
21:18do you prefer
21:19to be reminded to?
21:20You did me a favour
21:21or two during the war.
21:22I'll not forget that.
21:22Which one?
21:24Would Bedford
21:25be possible?
21:26I could have food
21:27sent in.
21:28As a matter of fact,
21:28there's a rather nice
21:30little restaurant nearby
21:31that...
21:31Bedford it is.
21:32my demonstration
21:36will go on
21:38without me.
21:39Yes.
21:40And I hate to admit it
21:41but without you
21:42it'll lack power.
21:44It'll be a bomb
21:45without a fuse.
21:46Miss Irving's chair
22:05should be
22:06well forward
22:07sent to the stage.
22:08I prefer it to be
22:09off stage.
22:10Almost anybody
22:10could shoot it
22:11from back there,
22:12you know.
22:12Never mind.
22:13We'll have a man
22:14up there.
22:15Bodhi will take
22:16the circle
22:16and I'll be right
22:17here in the front row.
22:18What about when
22:19she comes out
22:20into the audience?
22:21Out?
22:22She always does
22:23to meet the people.
22:25It's part of her...
22:26Act?
22:27It's part of her
22:28humanity.
22:29Her bonhomie.
22:30She always comes down
22:32to meet the people
22:32to shake a few hands.
22:34Well one of those
22:34hands could be
22:35holding a gun.
22:42What's all that
22:42doing at the back?
22:44It's our experience
22:45that those who can't
22:47get into the meeting
22:48tend to congregate
22:48around the building
22:49and a few remain
22:51at the rear
22:52hoping to catch
22:52a glimpse of Miss Irving.
22:54What, all that
22:54for a few people?
22:56Oh!
22:56Annie has a saying
22:57from the few
22:59and grow the many.
23:00Hmm.
23:01Adam and Eve
23:01wouldn't argue with that.
23:03Clody!
23:05Would you believe
23:06this place has got
23:07a cellar?
23:07Yeah.
23:08One link to the
23:09main drainage system, eh?
23:11Good day.
23:12This is where you plan
23:13to have it happen,
23:14isn't it?
23:17I've organised
23:18meetings with them.
23:20I've organised rallies.
23:21But never a martyrdom,
23:23I have never
23:23a martyrdom.
23:24Until now.
23:26Shh.
23:27You always managed
23:28to cap me,
23:29you know that?
23:30Ahead of my thoughts.
23:32That's why I like you.
23:35Like?
23:39Love.
23:40Langdon.
23:45Not here.
23:51You come highly
23:52recommended, Mr. Hymer,
23:53but can you deliver?
23:55Deliver what?
23:56Oh, men who can
23:56keep their mouths shut?
23:58Hungry men
23:58will do anything.
23:59Provided the price
24:00is right.
24:01Oh, good.
24:01We understand each other.
24:02It should be easy.
24:21Very natural.
24:23There's bound to be
24:23a counter-demonstration.
24:25I'll exaggerate it,
24:26panic her,
24:27get her to leave
24:27by the back door.
24:28Oh, that's when
24:28you hit her.
24:30Now,
24:31I'm buying a
24:32spectacular death,
24:33Mr. Hymer.
24:34So,
24:35let your imagination
24:36have full reign
24:36and if her blood
24:38should stain that
24:39post of her face
24:40out there,
24:41that'd be good news
24:42too.
24:42You're not a cannibal
24:44too, Ryan.
24:45Can you do it,
24:46Hymer?
24:47I can do it.
24:49Excellent.
24:50Mr. Langdon.
24:58Yes.
24:59I need to know
24:59how Miss Irving
25:00plans to arrive.
25:01Oh, her own
25:02personal car,
25:03front entrance.
25:03Her own car.
25:04That'd be something
25:04big and flashy, eh?
25:06You'd prefer
25:07something more anonymous
25:08like an ordinary cab,
25:09perhaps.
25:09Yeah, and through
25:10the back door.
25:16We're all set.
25:17Eh?
25:18Bodyguards.
25:20The guarding
25:20of Annie Irving's
25:21body, sir.
25:23Our stakeout's
25:23planned.
25:24Yeah, we're
25:24concentrating on
25:25the close-quarter
25:26stuff.
25:27The nearby nut
25:28with a gun,
25:28the individual
25:29killer.
25:30I think the
25:30police should
25:31take care of
25:31the mob.
25:32Yes.
25:33Yes, that
25:33makes sense.
25:35Thanks.
25:36Glad to look
25:36after Annie
25:37for you, sir.
25:50I'm looking for
26:00Billy Taylor.
26:05Big Billy Taylor.
26:12I'm big, Billy.
26:14You are big,
26:15aren't you?
26:17What of it?
26:18Nothing.
26:19I've got a job for you.
26:20That's if you're
26:20interested in money.
26:22Big money.
26:23Almost as big as you.
26:26Let's walk.
26:26What do you mean he's
26:40demanding to see me?
26:42John Howard demanding?
26:44Sir, it was very important.
26:45If he thinks I'm
26:45going to trek out
26:46to Bedford prison,
26:47he's got another...
26:47Yes, sir.
26:49Right outside the door.
26:51See, we've...
26:53He mentioned
26:54Annie Irvin.
26:55As her meeting's
26:56just a couple of hours
26:57away, we...
26:57Well, I'll bring him in.
27:04Come in.
27:08I'm glad you agreed
27:09to see me, George.
27:10I think perhaps
27:11you'll be glad, too.
27:12You said important.
27:13I had a visit
27:15from my lawyer.
27:17He brought me
27:17some news
27:18from one of my men.
27:19He'd been out
27:20trying to drum up
27:21some converts
27:22for my cause.
27:23You mean
27:23find you a few
27:24more bully boys?
27:26George, listen to me.
27:28Someone beat him to it.
27:30Another man.
27:32Not drumming up a mob.
27:34Just a selected few.
27:36The hardest,
27:37the heaviest.
27:38Not simply bully boys
27:39looking for a fight.
27:40Killers, George.
27:41All carefully chosen
27:44for one particular task.
27:48Annie?
27:49I think so.
27:51Why are you telling me?
27:53Well, I owe you
27:54a few favours.
27:56Besides, the last thing
27:57I want is Annie Irvin
27:59dead.
28:01I'd be blamed immediately.
28:03Backlash would destroy me.
28:06Do you believe it?
28:07Yes, sir.
28:10I believe I do.
28:12Bully?
28:12Yes, sir.
28:14So do I.
28:16My God, so do I.
28:18I'm obliged to you, John.
28:20I still don't like you,
28:21mind, but I'm obliged to you.
28:23Send him back.
28:25Mr. Howard?
28:26Hmm?
28:28These men being hired,
28:29do you know any more
28:29about them?
28:30Not much.
28:31What you'd expect.
28:33Big, tough.
28:34No sort of description
28:36you could hang a hat on.
28:45What will you do, sir?
28:47Cancel the meeting.
28:50She has to be made
28:51to cancel that meeting.
28:53Cancel it?
28:54Quite out of the question.
28:56Annie!
28:57No, no, no, no!
28:59Not those flowers, dear.
29:01Take them away.
29:02The flowers can only be
29:03red and white.
29:04White to symbolise our cause,
29:06red to remind people
29:07of the blood I shed for them.
29:09Red and white.
29:10Only red and white.
29:12Annie, I've given you
29:13all the facts.
29:15You're expecting trouble.
29:16We always expect trouble.
29:19Men are being hired.
29:20That, too.
29:22Well, it's happened before.
29:23Not here.
29:24Not in my territory.
29:25I'm cancelling the meeting.
29:27Can you?
29:28I know your organisation
29:29is omnipotent,
29:30a law unto itself,
29:31but can you cancel my meeting?
29:33Can you, Stanley?
29:34Prevent free speech?
29:36The media would eat him alive.
29:38Well, that's my gamble,
29:39but at least you have the choice.
29:41What about your supporters,
29:41the ordinary people
29:42who'll be sitting out there?
29:43What about their safety?
29:44If Annie can take it,
29:45so can they.
29:46Otherwise, they shouldn't be here.
29:52George?
29:52I can remember a young student
29:58who once got his head
29:59bust open at a political meeting.
30:01He was standing up
30:02for the right of everyone
30:03to speak freely.
30:05We were both a lot younger then, Annie.
30:07We were just waiting
30:08to discard him.
30:08Let's hang it to him.
30:08We were just waiting to be.
30:09Oh, well, we were
30:11done, Annie.
30:12I can see.
30:17One hung,
30:28two hung,
30:28one hung,
30:28one hung!
30:28He was số one,
30:30three hung,
30:31two hung.
30:32Mm-hmm.
30:48Right, make yourself it up.
31:02She turned it down.
31:05Langton was right.
31:07We can't stop the meeting.
31:08If we did that, we'd be on Howard's side.
31:10But there's something we can do.
31:12Meeting takes place here, right?
31:15Counter-demonstration will probably use these streets.
31:18That's a hell of a large area to cover.
31:20They're not going to cover it.
31:21Got to make it an empty area, a no-go area.
31:24Get on to police control.
31:26Tell them to close off the area here, here, here.
31:31Here, and here.
31:34Nobody gets in beyond those points.
31:36There'll be a meeting, all right.
31:38But nobody will turn up.
31:42Testing, testing, one, two, three, four.
31:49Testing, testing, one, two, three, four.
31:56It's okay.
31:57It's fine.
31:58And please note, it is big.
32:02But they'll be standing.
32:04Oh, ten deep in the aisles and even more outside.
32:07It's wonderful.
32:08You've done a wonderful job, Stanley.
32:11For you?
32:13Yes.
32:14For me.
32:17Stanley.
32:18Do you think George Cowley was exaggerating when he said there was going to be trouble?
32:27No more than the usual extremists.
32:30And I'm sure the police and George could handle it.
32:32Oh, George.
32:34Poor George.
32:35You never did tell me about him, did you?
32:39No.
32:40I never did, did I?
32:42I must go and get changed.
32:44That's her.
32:45Mind you, with her face plastered over half the tongue, it hardly failed to recognize her cousin.
33:02Not even you.
33:03Not even you.
33:04Not yet.
33:05Not quite yet.
33:07Not quite yet.
33:28Not yet.
33:29Not quite yet.
33:59Sir.
34:00How are things?
34:01Not good.
34:02There's a big crowd building up in the north-east sector.
34:05A big, ugly crowd.
34:06Who's running that sector?
34:07Patterson.
34:09Cowley to Patterson.
34:10Come in.
34:12Yes, sir. Over.
34:13Everything all right? Over.
34:14Well, we've got the four Annie Irvings and the against.
34:17And at the moment they're too busy skirmishing with each other to give us much trouble.
34:20Over.
34:21Well, let's hope it stays that way.
34:22Keep in touch.
34:23You two.
34:24Over and out.
34:25Yes, sir.
34:28We are too late.
34:30Oh, my.
34:31We are too late.
34:32We are too late.
34:33Oh, sorry.
34:35Oh, sorry.
34:36Here you go!
34:37Come in.
34:38You two.
34:39I'm sorry.
34:40I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
34:41All right, what are you doing?
34:43I'm sorry.
34:44I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
34:45I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
34:46Come in.
34:47Yeah, go ahead.
34:48I'm sorry.
34:49I'm sorry.
34:50I'm sorry.
34:51I'm sorry.
34:52Come in.
34:53Come in.
34:54Okay?
34:58Okay.
35:00Well, he's working.
35:02An all-go area.
35:04Listen.
35:21It's started.
35:24Carly to Patterson. Come in, Patterson.
35:26Come in.
35:27What's happening?
35:28They've started on us now.
35:30Bad?
35:31I've seen worse, sir.
35:32There's more people than we expected.
35:34More people than we were prepared for.
35:36Well, do your best. Over and out.
35:38Well, the police will hold them.
35:40They'll get their heads kicked in, then they'll kick a few heads in,
35:43and tomorrow the papers will be full of police brutality.
35:46I hope they hold them.
35:47I hope so, too.
35:49I'm going over to check Patterson's position for myself.
35:51You stay close to Annie and Miss Ervin.
35:53Take good care of her.
35:54Yes, sir.
35:55What's wrong?
35:56The meeting's cancelled.
35:57What's wrong?
35:58The meeting's cancelled.
35:59Because of them?
36:00Oh, we've faced moms before.
36:02Because of Carly.
36:03The whole area's sealed off.
36:04No one's getting through.
36:05Who told you?
36:06Doyle.
36:07Who told you?
36:08Doyle.
36:09Oh, we've faced moms before.
36:10Because of Carly.
36:11The whole area's sealed off.
36:12No one's getting through.
36:13Who told you?
36:14Doyle.
36:15Who told you?
36:16Doyle.
36:17Who told you?
36:18Doyle.
36:19Who told you?
36:20What's wrong?
36:21What's wrong?
36:22The meeting's cancelled.
36:24Because of them?
36:25Oh, we've faced moms before.
36:27Because of Carly.
36:28The whole area's sealed off.
36:30No one's getting through.
36:31Who told you?
36:32Doyle.
36:33All right.
36:34There you are.
36:59Why has he done it?
37:00It's for your own good, Miss Ervin.
37:02He cancelled my meeting.
37:04Not exactly. The meeting can still go on.
37:06It's just that some people are finding it hard getting here.
37:08But we're here.
37:09We're people.
37:11We'd like to hear your speech.
37:12Isn't that right, Ray?
37:13Absolutely right.
37:14Yes, we'd like to be swayed to the paths of peace and righteousness.
37:18I'll never forgive him for this. Never.
37:20That might just make you even.
37:23Mightn't it?
37:24It's none of your damn business.
37:32It's bloody hell, sir.
37:54Can you hold them?
37:55Well, I've got a good set of blokes.
37:56They're going to take a hell of a hammering.
37:57I've ordered up reinforcements.
37:59Well, they better get here damn quick, sir.
38:00Doyle, there could be a breakthrough.
38:03I'm on my way back to you now, but don't wait for me.
38:05Get Annie Elvin clear.
38:06Pick her up and carry her if you have to.
38:09Do the best you can, eh?
38:10Yes, sir.
38:10Hold it back!
38:12Stay back!
38:12Come on!
38:13Come on!
38:15Come on!
38:21Come on!
38:22Come on!
38:24Come on!
38:25Come on!
38:26Come on!
38:27Come on!
38:28Come on!
38:29Come on!
38:30Come on!
38:30Come on!
38:40I'm not running.
38:40Miss Elvin...
38:41I've faced a mob before, and I've never run away from them.
38:43I don't intend to run now.
38:46Listen, Miss Elvin, there's a mob out there.
38:48They're going to tear you to pieces now.
38:49They've just broken through.
38:50Annie, he's right.
38:51This time you have to run.
38:55Come on.
38:55I'll smuggle her out the back way.
38:57Turner will cover you from the roof.
38:59We'll hold the front and catch up with you.
39:02Annie, it'll make a bigger story than any speech.
39:06Do you hear that?
39:13I like a crowd.
39:15You can lose yourself in a crowd.
39:21You wait in the back.
39:22I'll bring the car on.
39:23You wait in the back.
39:24No.
39:24You wait in the back.
39:24I'll bring the car on the roof.
39:24I'll bring the car on your way.
39:28I'll bring it back.
39:28I'll bring the car on the back.
39:28You wait in the back.
39:29Yeah?
39:30What?
39:32Here.
39:35There's a man on the roof.
39:38Run.
39:51It's all right, Mr Ervin. I can see you from here.
39:54Still a few blocks away.
39:57Hornet!
39:58Run! Run, Mr Ervin! Run! Run!
40:26Dead.
40:29In the dressing room. Bottom of the trunk, there's a gun. Bring it.
40:34Stanley!
40:35They've blasted up. Those jokers I had, they've blasted up.
40:38Get the gun.
40:43Annie!
40:45Annie!
40:46Max!
40:50Rollins! Come on!
41:06This way!
41:28He's in there somewhere.
41:29Well, they're scared of them.
41:30Quick, eh?
41:31Hold it.
41:32Hey, get up!
41:36Oh, my God.
42:06Every shot of Cupid doll anyone else want to try you over there right drop everything
42:32Everything including your pants
42:37No round the ankles is just fine
42:48Hands on heads
42:53You alright Ray?
42:58Yeah
42:58How'd I do?
43:00You're going to have to start using a smaller caliber gun
43:03Where's Annie?
43:05I don't know she's around here somewhere
43:06Miss Evan? Annie?
43:10Over here love
43:11You sure you're okay?
43:13Arms broken
43:14Yeah?

43:21Ray?

43:25Yeah

43:27Yeah

43:30Yeah

43:33Talking to Stanley
43:35Yeah
43:37Don't pass out
43:40Stay behind me Miss Serving please
43:49They're pushing them back
44:17It's all over Miss Serving
44:21It's all over Miss Serving
44:21It's all over Miss Serving
44:26Oh, my God.
44:56All right, sunshine.
45:19You can pass out now.
45:26All right, sunshine.
45:56All right, sunshine.
46:26All right, we'll take you two.
46:38Hello, sir.
46:41Hello, sir. How are you?
46:43Leave us.
46:49Yes, of course.
46:50I got hurt, Annie.
46:57I'm sorry.
46:58But like me, that's one of the risks you take, isn't it?
47:01Yes.
47:03I'm going back to America, George, on the 12.30 flight.
47:07Well, it was nice of you to think of dropping by to see me.
47:10I had to see you, George.
47:13It was Isla, you know.
47:14She planned the whole thing.
47:16No, Annie.
47:17She told...
47:18No, she lied to you.
47:19She implicated Stanley because he's dead, because he can't deny it.
47:22Annie.
47:23You and I know the real truth.
47:28The real truth?
47:29You killed Stanley.
47:35He had a gun pointed at you.
47:37What do you want me to say, George?
47:39That you saved my life?
47:40He had a gun pointed at you.
47:43And you killed him for me.
47:45But you hated him, didn't you, George?
47:51You hated Stanley.
47:53No, Annie.
47:54That's the truth, isn't it, George?
47:55That's the real truth.
47:57And not because I hated him.
48:02Not even because I envied him.
48:09Will we see you again?
48:11No.
48:12I won't be coming back to this country.
48:15Our police are wonderful.
48:18Yes.
48:19Wonderful.
48:21But I won't be coming back.
48:23What about George?
48:24What about Mr. Decaille?
48:28You knew him very well once, didn't you?
48:32I never knew him at all.
48:35But you can tell him one thing from me.
48:43But I love him.
48:45Goodbye.
49:09Goodbye.
49:09Goodbye.
49:09Great.
49:12You gonna tell him?
49:13Me?
49:14Oh, yes. He asked you, you know.
49:16Well, you were there, too.
49:18Tell him what?
49:20Well, you heard of the bit which...
49:21A siren. Couldn't hear. Remember?
49:25Anyway, he'd have enough problems getting back on his own two feet.
49:28Yeah, keeping us in line.
49:29Exactly. So why tell him?
49:31Tell him what?
49:39Don't open it.
49:42And maybe...
49:43...I'm sorry.
49:44I just dropped it.
49:46I forgot.
49:47They were all right.
49:49They're all right.
49:50I don't know.
49:51They're all right.
49:52They're all right.
49:53I don't know.
49:55I don't know.
49:56They're all right.
49:58They're all right.
50:00They're all right.
50:01They're all right.
50:02So, that's good.
50:04That's the thing.
