00:00The End
00:30Hold it.
00:40Look, I know I understand.
00:43Listen.
00:53Stop.
00:54Right, this is it.
01:00Stop.
01:30Check, comrade.
01:45Okay.
01:48Have a nice day.
01:50Thank you, my friend.
02:07That's all right.
02:12What do we do now?
02:13Run like hell.
03:21And we exchanged for Shunin for him?
03:23It seems a bad bargain, I agree.
03:25If we'd given him bubonic plague, it would have been fairer.
03:27For ten years, he gave us more than anyone else behind the Iron Curtain.
03:31I still wouldn't trust him.
03:32Neither does MI6.
03:34And that's why they asked us to handle the exchange and the debriefing.
03:37What, the debriefing as well?
03:38Our boys don't even reveal their own agents to check him out.
03:42Don't like it.
03:43Nobody likes it.
03:44That's presumably why the whole basis of the exchange is total secrecy on both sides.
03:48And how long's that going to stay a secret?
03:51The Shunin's capture was headline news, and now we've exchanged him for Batak.
03:54That'll soon come out.
03:55Not before Batak's been debriefed.
03:57Which could take weeks.
03:58The denoters should muzzle the press for a while.
04:01However, there is a more immediate problem.
04:05And that is your problem.
04:07Very nice.
04:09Batak's daughter?
04:10Anna Hastings.
04:11British subject.
04:13Result of a liaison over twenty years ago when we first recruited Batak.
04:17Passport held at present in interest of national security.
04:21Their officials have been allowing her to visit her father in jail every year.
04:24She was due to make the trip again this week.
04:26What nobody wants to happen is for her to go over there and find out he's disappeared.
04:30So until he's debriefed, she mustn't know he's in this country.
04:32She's a music student.
04:34She's the only fly in the oinkment.
04:54She's the only fly in the oinkment.
05:54Beautiful.
05:56I cheated.
05:58Hold me.
06:08Who are you?
06:11John Hare.
06:13Evening star.
06:15You're Anna Hastings.
06:17Yes.
06:19May I buy you a coffee?
06:21Yes, all right.
06:43What we're doing is a series on youth, the positive side.
06:47I thought the press would be more interested in drugs and dropouts.
06:54Well, we have to space it out a bit.
06:56Can't give them too much of a bad thing.
06:57So, I'm not going to be on page three.
06:59You'll be a new kind of page three, girl.
07:01Fully clothed?
07:02Yeah.
07:02Well, what would you like to know?
07:11Yes.
07:12He's here.
07:14Send him in.
07:22George Cowley.
07:23I was beginning to wonder if you really existed.
07:27I think you have many reports to prove it.
07:30Indeed we have.
07:33I had hoped, perhaps, my daughter...
07:35All in good time.
07:36I hope so.
07:38Here you are.
07:40Ah, thank you.
07:43Right.
07:45Now, when you won the Warsaw Prize, you were reported as being Bulgarian.
07:49My mother was English.
07:50I took her name.
07:51I'm illegitimate.
07:52We won't use that.
07:54It wouldn't matter.
07:55Sugar?
07:56Oh, thank you.
07:57Yes.
07:58I'll use this one.
08:00Okay.
08:02Was.
08:03You said your mother was?
08:04Yes, she died two years ago.
08:07And your father?
08:09Well, he's alive, as a matter of fact.
08:11Yes?
08:12No.
08:13Something.
08:14What's his name?
08:16Bartak.
08:17Stefan Bartak.
08:18B-A-T-A-K.
08:20Yeah.
08:21Okay.
08:22And where's he?
08:24He's in the Eastern Bloc.
08:26Really?
08:27But we thought they got rid of Polnikov over a year ago.
08:30That was what they meant you to think.
08:33He went underground.
08:35And opened the sub-agency in Moscow.
08:37Leningrad.
08:38I already said Leningrad.
08:40Yes.
08:41Yes, of course.
08:42So, father went back behind the Iron Curtain and mother stayed here with me.
08:46Room for me?
08:47Sure.
08:48Michael, this is John Hayes.
08:49What paper did you see?
08:51Evening Star.
08:52Hello.
08:52He wants to do an article about me.
08:55You heard her play?
08:57Yes, a little.
08:58Not really.
08:59What did you think?
09:00Very impressive.
09:01It was the masochist.
09:03What do you think of Chopin, Mr. Blair?
09:05Not Blair.
09:07Hair.
09:09Hair like head or like rabbit?
09:11Michael.
09:13Like Burke and...
09:15There are many small cells, perhaps a hundred of them, between South Africa and Siberia.
09:21And not from the United States?
09:22The U.S., like Britain, France and West Germany, is handled by Alexei Androv.
09:28I think you already know that, Mr. Carly.
09:32We've been watching an Avitalia pilot, Bonetti.
09:37Ever heard of him in relation to Soviet intelligence?
09:40I never heard that particular name.
09:42They recruit many airline employees.
09:43Perhaps we can compile a list?
09:45Suspects, not certainties.
09:48Airlines lay outside my department.
09:50Suspects are always helpful.
09:52Indeed they are.
09:53Where did your parents meet?
09:54New York.
09:55They both work for the United Nations.
09:57Obviously, I wasn't expected.
09:58In fact, I suppose my appearance wrecked the whole affair.
10:01Excuse me a moment.
10:05Did you see your boyfriend?
10:06Michael?
10:07No, but he gets ten out of ten for trying.
10:09Studying here?
10:11London University.
10:12They're doing a linking course.
10:13History of music.
10:14Paul?
10:17Contact's been made.
10:18Claims to be a journalist.
10:20Maybe legit.
10:22Evening star.
10:24John Hare.
10:25There is no doubt, of course, that the Russians encourage the heroin trade in the West.
10:30There is a direct link between Odessa and Amsterdam.
10:33You know a great deal, Mr. Batak.
10:35You're a lucky man.
10:37Lucky to be alive.
10:39You could so easily have been shot while attempting to escape.
10:42I owe my life to Vashunin.
10:44If you in the West had not held him, I would certainly have been there a year ago.
10:47In fact, the director of prosecutions, Jagev, actually demanded the death penalty, didn't he?
10:53Jagev was state attorney, not director of prosecutions.
10:56Can you be setting traps for me, Mr. Carley?
11:00And where is he now?
11:02My father?
11:03Yeah.
11:03In jail.
11:05In jail?
11:06You know what these countries are like.
11:07He said the wrong thing to the wrong person.
11:10And what did he do before?
11:12Civil servant.
11:13Police department.
11:15You're still in touch with him?
11:16Well, yes.
11:17I've been over quite a few times since Mother died.
11:19In fact, I will be going over again on the 14th if the passport office wasn't being so difficult.
11:24What's the problem?
11:25God knows.
11:27I spent half my life down in that concentration camp in Petit France, pushing them when I should be practicing.
11:33Hey, if you do this story, you could maybe mention it.
11:35That might do the trick.
11:37Yeah, why not?
11:38Why not?
11:55I'd better warn you.
11:57We all share one phone.
11:58It's pretty chaotic.
11:59I'll probably contact you here anyway.
12:02It's all up to my editor, of course.
12:05I think he'll go for it.
12:06I hope so.
12:07Miss Racket, you can't start publicity too soon.
12:09Racket?
12:10I thought it was supposed to be art.
12:11Oh, hang on to your illusions.
12:13I can't afford to.
12:14Ah, there you are.
12:15What happened to your lecture?
12:16Missed it.
12:17My God, Miss Racket.
12:18Where will you be?
12:19Practice room four.
12:20Good luck with your exams.
12:21Thanks.
12:21How do I get out of this place?
12:27Where's your car?
12:27Canning Street.
12:29Here's a shortcut.
12:30I'll show you.
12:32She's quite a girl.
12:35You like her a lot, don't you?
12:37Is it that obvious?
12:38Yeah.
12:40She's head over heels in love anyway.
12:42With the piano?
12:43Right.
12:45The door at the end, there's another staircase, leads directly to Canning Street.
12:49Right.
12:51Mr. Hay, don't move.
13:03And who the hell are you?
13:05About the girl you were talking to.
13:08There's a better story there than you can imagine.
13:11Like what?
13:12Her father's name is Stefan Batak.
13:17Yeah, she told me so much.
13:20Doesn't that mean anything to you?
13:22No.
13:24Should it?
13:25The British government has just received Stefan Batak in exchange for Andrei Vashunin.
13:31You can check it out with a legation.
13:38It was a straight deal between the British and Bulgarian governments.
13:43Then Vashunin's already left Britain.
13:45You mentioned earlier Soviet encouragement of international drug traffic.
14:06Does it extend to the United States?
14:07Certainly.
14:08It's the only area where the Communists and the Mafia are in close cooperation.
14:13Well, in that case, surely you'll be...
14:15Sir.
14:19Excuse me.
14:20Whoever it is, they know Batak's free and in London.
14:27And they want to blow the whistle.
14:28They being who?
14:30Bulgarians.
14:32Why?
14:32Well, they haven't leaked a single word about getting Vashunin back.
14:35They've kept to their side of the deal.
14:36Well, who else could it be then?
14:38Well, if it is the Bulgarians, they must know we've got a D-notice on the story.
14:42But they would also know that that D-notice won't protect us for very long.
14:45Then they're in a hurry.
14:46What, why?
14:49A good question.
14:50How's Batak shaping up?
14:52I'm still checking.
14:53He forgot we changed his contact twice in 76.
14:57Understandable.
14:58And he's still confusing some of his Russian shipping reports.
15:02Yeah, well, we all do that sometimes.
15:04What about that guy Michael, the girl's boyfriend?
15:06Are you busy?
15:08No.
15:09No, I want you to back off, both of you.
15:11Everything's still going according to plan.
15:12We stand by our side of the bargain as long as they stand by theirs.
15:15Well, what about his tip-off, fellow on the stairs?
15:18He's already whispered in his ear.
15:20If we do nothing about it, he may do something else.
15:24Where am I being taken?
15:26Somewhere safe.
15:28We'll be living for the next few weeks.
15:29Will my daughter be there?
15:31I'm afraid not.
15:32Mr. Cowley managed to evade that question.
15:36When may I expect to see her?
15:39There are a few complications.
15:42You mean security?
15:44Yeah, sort of.
15:45If I told Anna the situation, I assure you, she would say nothing.
15:49Particularly if she knew that my personal safety was at stake.
15:52Would you take that risk in our position?
15:55Probably not.
15:56She's a very talented girl, your Anna.
15:59You've met her?
16:00Yes.
16:02What did she play?
16:04A mazarka.
16:06Idiot.
16:07I don't like this.
16:15Which one?
16:17Get in the window.
16:18I'll move the cap.
16:19I'll move the cap.
16:20It's got a way.
16:20I'll move the cap.
16:20I'll move the cap.
16:22I'll move the cap.
16:24What's going on?
16:24Dile? Yeah, what's happening? He's got away. What about super spy? Oh, he's all right.
16:43Well, what's that noise? Sound of a D-note is biting the dust.
16:54Oh, it's fine. What's going on? Excuse me. Who are you? Just read this, please. Quickly and get these crowds away.
17:07Come on, get on quicker. You can step on partack. Get out of me. Get out of me. Get out of me. Get out of me. Get him. Get him.
17:19I'm sorry. I repeat. It'll be my decision. Yes, goodbye.
17:24How is he?
17:27He's tired, old, and he's just been shot at.
17:30They shot at the car.
17:32He missed attack by inches?
17:33Okay, the first one was on target, but the other ones you got out were all over the place.
17:37You don't have to tell me, I've felt them.
17:38And if a real professional had done that, he'd have stayed on target, wouldn't he, and sprayed the back of a car?
17:42Yeah, he'd also have chosen a better place.
17:44The point is, whether or not it was a serious attempt to kill him, it was a successful attempt to get his name wired around the world.
17:49We're still denying it, aren't we?
17:51Until when?
17:52Now that the suspicion is out, hundreds of agents throughout the world are going to be in great danger.
17:56Until we confirm it one way or the other.
17:58So what are we waiting for?
18:00These are some of the returns we've had and some of attack's answers.
18:04They don't all check out.
18:14Everything's going according to plan.
18:22Miss Hastings.
18:24Have you seen the papers?
18:26You mean about my father?
18:28Yes.
18:29Do you mind if we talk, don't we?
18:30All right.
18:31Come on.
18:32They picked her up now.
18:334-5 to Alpha Charlie.
18:34Roger, 4-5.
18:35Proceed as well.
18:36I'm bringing her in.
18:37You're not really a newspaper reporter, are you, Mr. Hare.
18:39Not really.
18:40I suppose you're not even Mr. Hare.
18:41I suppose not.
18:42Hmm.
18:43Hmm.
18:44Well, it explains all the trouble about my passport.
18:45I suppose you're not even Mr. Hare.
18:46I suppose not.
18:47Hmm.
18:48Hmm.
18:49Hmm.
18:50Hmm.
18:51Hmm.
18:52You're not really a newspaper reporter, are you, Mr. Hare?
19:00Not really.
19:03I suppose you're not even Mr. Hare.
19:06I suppose not.
19:10Well, it explains all the trouble about my passport.
19:15A reporter.
19:18I really fell for that one.
19:22Look, I'm no judge, but the way you play that piano, you don't need publicity.
19:28You think so?
19:29You don't even need a piano.
19:46What is this place?
19:48Don't worry.
19:52Who are you?
19:55I'm going to take you to somebody who will answer your questions about your father.
19:59You want to know what happened, don't you?
20:01Happened.
20:03Don't worry.
20:04Come on.
20:09There is no doubt, of course, that the Russians encourage the heroin trade in the West.
20:13There is a direct link between Odessa and Amsterdam.
20:17You know a great deal, Mr. Batak.
20:18You're a lucky man.
20:19It's all right.
20:25There's one of ours.
20:28It's all right.
20:29Here's one of ours.
20:30You can wait in now.
20:42Cowley wants you.
21:00Are you another journalist, like him?
21:04He's a music reporter.
21:05Oh, and what are you?
21:07Fashion.
21:08I owe my life to Vashunin.
21:11If you in the West had not held him, I would certainly have been dead a year ago.
21:14...prosecutions, Jagev actually demanded the death penalty, didn't he?
21:19Jagev was the state attorney, not the director of prosecutions.
21:273-7.
21:30Right.
21:38All right, Mr. Vashak. That will do for now.
21:52Think you know your own way by now?
22:00I know.
22:01I know.
22:02I know.
22:03I know.
22:05I know.
22:06I know.
22:07I know.
22:08I know.
22:09I know.
22:10I know.
22:11I know.
22:12I know.
22:13I know.
22:14I know.
22:15I know.
22:16I know.
22:17I know.
22:18I know.
22:19I know.
22:20I know.
22:21I know.
22:22I know.
22:23I know.
22:24I know.
22:25I know.
22:26I know.
22:27I know.
22:28I know.
22:29I know.
22:30I know.
22:31I know.
22:32I know.
22:33I know.
22:34I know.
22:35I know.
22:36I know.
22:37I know.
22:38I know.
22:39I know.
22:40I know.
22:41I know.
22:42I know.
22:43I know you.
22:43I know.
22:44I'm worried for a minute.
22:45Well, we're not all as demonstrative as you, are we?
22:49See.
22:50All in one piece.
22:51Don't make jokes like that.
22:53How can a creature like him have a daughter like that?
22:56We're not quite sure about her yet, are we?
22:59The British wanted to keep the exchange center.
23:02I'll tell you something.
23:02No.
23:03She doesn't know much about the father.
23:04That makes my flesh crawl just to watch him.
23:07Joseph Stalin was a family man.
23:09Look what happened to his daughter.
23:11You know your trouble, don't you?
23:13Underneath that hard shell, you're just a great big softy.
23:17Maybe so.
23:19But it's the outside that slays them, isn't it?
23:22I only have a tiny bed-sitter, but there's a big couch I can sleep on as soon as they let you go.
23:26I don't want to doubt about that.
23:28All right, boy.
23:34Now, Cowley here. I want a press conference right away.
23:44Somewhere spectacular, like the Savoy Hotel.
23:49You'll be fine.
23:52What am I to say? Or rather not to say?
23:55I've got a note of areas to avoid, which means practically everything.
23:59We'll go over it in the way. It's very simple.
24:02When will I see him again?
24:04Very soon.
24:05We still have some ground to cover.
24:07It has to be done.
24:08Where will he be staying?
24:10We'll let you know.
24:12Right, shall we go?
24:16Keep practicing.
24:19He'll run your back.
24:21So I'm to be delivered with the famous roast beef.
24:36The Savoy has a nice tradesman's entrance. Very private.
24:40I may only say, I'm sorry, I cannot discuss that.
25:00As often as possible.
25:01Freedom of the Western press.
25:03They can print what they like. We don't have to give them information.
25:06I see I can openly speak of the Russian intervention.
25:10What's the matter?
25:14Nothing, I...
25:17The Russian intervention.
25:20The Russian intervention.
25:25Bodhi, hospital fast.
25:28He's having some kind of attack.
25:29Vale's the nearest.
25:32ление
25:40Don't worry, don't worry.
25:42Don't worry. I'll get it.
25:44Come on, come on.
25:45Get out of here, get out of here.
25:51All right, please.
25:53Stand by Vale Hospital for emergency admission.
25:55Possible heart attack, possible drug poisoning.
26:05Hulsa 150. Breathing very bad.
26:07Have you oxygen? No.
26:12Try to stop him losing consciousness.
26:15How soon can you get him here?
26:16About five to ten minutes.
26:19Oh, no, they wouldn't try it again.
26:24Come on, mate.
26:25Hang on, mate. What's wrong with you?
26:27Don't move out, please. I've got a hospital case in here.
26:29You'll be a bloody hospital case in the minute you keep on.
26:32Okay, it's on the move now. Hang on.
26:42Betray. Betray?
26:44Did you say betray? Who betrays?
27:01Slow down.
27:02What's up?
27:04It's too late.
27:10There won't be many flowers on his grave.
27:13Coronary.
27:14All right, all right. Whatever they said back in there, we know he was got at.
27:17But how? No one's been near him.
27:19The daughter.
27:21He'll be fine.
27:23She'd have to be good with her hands.
27:24She's a concert pianist.
27:27She's good with her hands.
27:28Forenze Cowley.
27:30Yes?
27:32Well, call me as soon as you do.
27:33They've eliminated five groups of poisons.
27:35Another five to go, eh?
27:36You're Bulgarian.
27:40How did it happen?
27:42It was a heart attack.
27:44Apparently.
27:46It's not been confirmed yet.
27:50You were with him?
27:54Yeah.
27:58On our way to the press conference.
28:08You know, under English law, the deceased should be identified by the next of kin.
28:13Is that what I have to do now?
28:15Not yet.
28:18Still have to do some tests.
28:24No.
28:38This is 4-5.
28:39I'm following him north.
28:43Why would anyone have wanted to kill my father?
28:47You're not serious.
28:49I am serious.
28:50Tell me why.
28:51You mean you have no idea?
28:53I don't know who your father was.
28:54What are you getting at?
28:56I don't believe it.
29:21He was personally responsible for the deaths of over 100 agents.
29:35I don't believe it.
29:37Recruited by the CIA in New York.
29:39That was when you were born.
29:40Ten years later, he crossed over, and scores of agents were eliminated.
29:45After another ten years, he changed sides again.
29:49This time, it was their turn. Their agents hit it.
29:593-7 at base. Taking it to my place, can you send me someone?
30:036-2.
30:05Yeah, he'll do. Now.
30:103-7 at base.
30:37Why should I believe you? Why are you telling me all this?
30:39What do you expect to gain out of tormenting me?
30:423-7.
30:43Alpha, the toxin's been identified.
30:45What is it?
30:46Triadine. It acts within 20 minutes of entering the bloodstream.
30:49Yeah, I know.
30:50It couldn't have been given to him more than half an hour before he died.
30:54Yeah.
30:56Yeah, she's still here.
30:59All right.
31:01Right.
31:02There's a shit.
31:04Here's a-
31:05Oh, no.
31:06Oh, no.
31:07Oh.
31:08Oh, no.
31:09Oh, no.
31:10Oh, no.
31:11Oh.
31:12Oh.
31:13Oh, no.
31:14Oh, no.
31:15Oh, yeah.
31:16So, you poisoned Stefan Batek, eh?
31:28We've got you on film, doing it.
31:31What?
31:32When you ran your fingers through his hair.
31:34Very good, then.
31:35That's absolutely insane.
31:38Is it?
31:46Oh, my God.
32:16Yes, that's it.
32:19It's all your day, right.
32:34All smiles fantastic.
32:37The vicar gets more to center there.
32:46Oh, I'm sorry.
32:58Four five, twelve for one.
33:14Come in, four five.
33:16To love, honor, and obey.
33:19Four five.
33:21Till death us do part.
33:23Four five, you're not making any sense.
33:28I've just discovered I'm married to my country, you know.
33:31Doyle, are you all right?
33:33You know, I think we ought to go into the film business.
33:36We've got the world exclusive rights to something here.
33:39Four five, do you need help?
33:41No, I'm coming back to blaze out.
33:47You're wrong.
33:50You're so wrong.
33:51Come on, we all know about triadine.
33:53What's that?
33:54The name of an opera?
33:55Causes a massive heart attack within 20 minutes of application.
34:00Now, we should know we developed it.
34:01Look, even if he did do some of the terrible things you say he did,
34:09do you honestly think I'd kill my own father?
34:13No.
34:16Of course you wouldn't.
34:18How could you?
34:20Where's the real Anna Hastings?
34:23Huh?
34:25Oh, did you use triadine on her, too?
34:29Okay, now straighten your arm.
34:30I was filming her boyfriend.
34:36Somebody didn't approve.
34:39Now, shoulders wipe back.
34:40Breathe deeply.
34:41All right.
34:43All right, thanks.
34:44That was the lab report.
34:45You overexposed, as usual.
34:47What do they expect?
34:48Cecil Beaton?
34:49Nothing broken.
34:49You'll live.
34:51You mentioned the Hampstead place.
34:53Yeah.
34:53See if this rings a bell.
34:54Keene's Lodge.
34:56Keene's Lodge?
34:57Yeah.
34:57Persian millionaire sold it, remember?
34:59And bought by anonymous?
35:01Yeah.
35:01Sotheby's flogged the contents for two million.
35:04We staked it out for ten weeks.
35:05Nothing.
35:06Shh.
35:06Well, you should just see it now.
35:08It's got heavies with bulging overcoats, guard dogs, the lot.
35:11He went from the college to Hampstead, then to Redmond Square.
35:13Number eight.
35:14Where he met this other chap.
35:16Yeah, well, my impression was that he went to Keene's Lodge looking for this bloke.
35:19Then got redirected to number eight.
35:21That's a lot of running around.
35:22Yeah.
35:23And a stronger version to use on the telephone.
35:26They're obviously looking for the girl.
35:28Well, they did seem panicked, yeah.
35:29They know we've got her.
35:30Maybe they think she's going to crack.
35:32Why should it matter?
35:33Batak's been killed.
35:34The omission's accomplished.
35:35They should have gone underground.
35:37It's all wrong.
35:41Is that them?
35:42You've got a nerve.
35:44Yeah.
35:59Hey.
36:00Don't let her out of your sight for two minutes.
36:02No phone calls.
36:03And if she gets rough, watch those claws.
36:05It'll be deadly.
36:083-7-0-Alpha.
36:09Come in, 3-7.
36:10Couldn't crack her on.
36:11What's her story on the Michael fellow?
36:13Nothing.
36:14She clammed up?
36:15Yeah, like a real pro.
36:17Where are you now?
36:17I got tired of the sound of my own voice.
36:19I've left it with 6-2.
36:21I'm going out to check her flap.
36:23They may be watching it.
36:24I'll just use my Bulgarian mojo.
36:26What's that?
36:27It's a cross between a force beam and a poisoned umbrella.
36:30I never heard that particular name.
36:41Does a bald one mean anything to you?
36:45No.
36:47Could you hear what language you spoke?
36:49Too far away.
36:51What do we know about that house, number 8?
36:53Well, the house checks out legitimately.
36:56They wouldn't send out two thugs to grab the film unless there was something on it.
36:59Right, run it again, please.
37:08Well, he'll lead us to it.
37:23They know we've seen that, Michael bloke.
37:27Must be the other one.
37:28Well, lad, get a blow-up on the bald-headed man.
37:34Send it over to C-11 as fast as you can.
37:36Yes.
37:38Yeah.
37:38Have they?
37:39Yeah, right away.
37:41Okay, thanks.
37:43Car was rented a week ago.
37:45Cash deposit.
37:45The police have got the details.
37:47That's too hot.
37:48They'll have got rid of it already.
37:49Well, maybe they don't train them as well as you do.
37:51Oh, C-11.
37:53Top priority photo identification.
37:55Assignment SB-50 coming to you.
37:58Did we find any more about that hamster, please?
38:05Not a lot.
38:07Apparently, having a new wing built, so all that coming and going is disguised by builders' vans,
38:12decorators and so on.
38:13Nobody actually gets into the house, does it?
38:15Except people like Fred and Michael.
38:17Exactly.
38:18The new owner hasn't shown up yet, but the locals say that the security guards are protecting
38:22valuable contents.
38:24It's like a hotline to the Kremlin, eh?
38:26Good morning.
38:26Did you find anything?
38:28Nothing, except this.
38:31What happened to you?
38:32I was doing some cinema verite.
38:34Somebody hit me with a kitchen sink.
38:37Who's that?
38:38Not Patak.
38:39Oh, it could be, before he went to prison.
38:42Younger, fatter.
38:43Could be one of his brothers.
38:45He had two.
38:46Where did you find it?
38:48Inside a book of Beethoven's sonatas.
38:51Do you reckon she put it there?
38:53Well, I doubt.
38:54I mean, it could be a bookmark.
38:55Anyway, it's not evidence, let alone proof of anything.
38:57Boley, bring the girl, then.
39:00Send Bick to seal off a flat and stay watching it.
39:02You better run that film again.
39:03Perhaps it'll jog your memory.
39:07Play it again, Fred.
39:08That must have been the guard dog.
39:23All right, come on, Mata.
39:25Hurry, let's go.
39:26Go where?
39:27Don't you believe it?
39:28I'm taking you to see my leader.
39:30Haven't you played this silly game enough?
39:33Silly game, sweetheart, was played by you.
39:36You had a life, a career ahead of you,
39:40and now you've blown it.
39:41What was it?
39:57Money?
40:00Blackmail?
40:03Or maybe it was love?
40:11Come in, 3-7.
40:36I think I've found it.
40:37Come and see.
40:38Something's happened to Boley, I can't raise him.
40:42Probably taking piano lessons.
40:44All right, look at this.
40:45Thanks, Fred.
40:48See, it wasn't anything to do with keeping Boley
40:50out of the gossip coins.
40:52Yeah, hold it there.
40:55I think there's the man in the photograph.
40:56In fact, I'm sure it is.
40:58No doubt about it.
41:03It's the same man already.
41:05I think that's Stefan Batak.
41:06The dead man at Batak's prints.
41:09Could have been switched.
41:10The dead man's for Batak's years ago.
41:13Which means he could still be alive.
41:15And living in London.
41:16At 8 Redmond Square.
41:18I never saw why the Bulgarians ever wanted to give up Stefan Batak,
41:21the real one.
41:23Blue-eyed boy of the KGB.
41:25All that publicity.
41:32We announced we have him back.
41:33We certify I'm dead.
41:34Batak's free to do his dirty work.
41:40Akole here.
41:41I want back up at Redmond Square,
41:44fully armed immediately.
41:45All personnel to stand by.
41:47I'll RT the exact location when I get there.
41:49All right, okay.
41:56Alpha.
41:5747.
41:58Oh, I've been trying to reach you.
41:59What happened?
42:00I've lost the girl, sir.
42:02Are you all right?
42:04Yeah, I've just taken a crash course.
42:06Forget about the girl.
42:09Meet us at Redmond Square right away.
42:11We have a rendezvous with Stefan Batak.
42:13Quick as you can.
42:14Right.
42:15They fixed the fingerprint records years before.
42:18The switch is arranged.
42:18Instead of the real Batak, we get a phony.
42:20And the daughter is replaced as well.
42:22Right.
42:23And the substitute daughter bumps off the phony agent.
42:26Then if the girl who bumped off the phony Batak
42:28is one of their agents,
42:29why do they waste their time snatching her back?
42:32Little human loyalty among the mechanics.
42:34Enough to risk their lives against the likes of Bodhi.
42:37Maybe his reputation doesn't extend as far as Sophia.
42:41It's about time you took the Bulgarians seriously.
42:44Anna!
43:04Father!
43:04You have saved my life.
43:17Have I?
43:19Would I lie to you?
43:23Who was the other man?
43:24Man?
43:25The man who pretended to be you.
43:29Anna.
43:29Father, there are a lot of things you do not know about.
43:33Important things.
43:35Father, I must know.
43:38They said he was murdered.
43:39Is that true?
43:40No.
43:41Believe me, I'm telling you the truth.
43:45They said such terrible things about him.
43:47Anna, these people are telling lies.
43:49What's going on?
44:16I'll fill you in later.
44:17You just can't keep your women, can you?
44:21She has to be dragged away from me.
44:22Okay.
44:23We're moving now.
44:24We're moving now.
44:25We're moving now.
44:26We're moving now.
44:35We're moving now.
44:36We're moving now.
44:36We're moving now.
44:37We're moving now.
44:38We're moving now.
44:39We're moving now.
44:39We're moving now.
44:40We're moving now.
44:40We're moving now.
44:41We're moving now.
44:41We're moving now.
44:42We're moving now.
44:42We're moving now.
44:43We're moving now.
44:43We're moving now.
44:44We're moving now.
44:44We're moving now.
44:45We're moving now.
44:45We're moving now.
44:46We're moving now.
44:46We're moving now.
44:47We're moving now.
44:47We're moving now.
44:48We're moving now.
44:48We're moving now.
44:49We're moving now.
44:49We're moving now.
44:50We're moving now.
44:50We're moving now.
44:51We're moving now.
44:51Let's go.
45:21Sorry. Maybe you used ultraviolet film.
45:25Mason, I want a red alert. All air and seaports.
45:28Stefan Batak, travelling under alias.
45:30I see 11 have updated description. All previous details false.
45:33Maybe travelling with a young woman.
45:36His daughter. Out.
45:38What now?
45:39King's Light?
45:40Where else?
45:51Look. American passports for both of us.
45:56And social security cards.
45:58Anna, these are real, not forgeries.
46:00We have been guaranteed new lives together.
46:03In America?
46:04Yes. Texas first, where I shall be working.
46:07And you can continue your studies.
46:09But I love this country.
46:11All my friends are here.
46:13All my teachers.
46:14They have the greatest teachers in the world.
46:16You know that.
46:18Namastalos, piet minut.
46:20What does that mean?
46:22We have very little time.
46:28Alpha.
46:29We have an urgent report from Forensic on Batak.
46:32Give it to me.
46:34A capsule has been found which contained the toxin.
46:36Implanted under skin.
46:37Chemical time trigger identified.
46:38Estimated life four days.
46:40Some greater details.
46:41Shall I read them?
46:43No, that's enough. Thanks.
46:46Bastards.
46:48When Bodhi picked him up at the border,
46:50he was already as good as dead.
46:51She didn't kill him.
46:52They get for shooting, we get a corpse.
46:54And they use the real daughter to clinch it.
46:59Three-sevenths is four-five.
47:01Yeah.
47:03Forensic report.
47:04She didn't kill him.
47:07Do you think that will restore his faith in human nature?
47:10It may shatter his convictions.
47:12When I pretended that man was you,
47:14did I or did I not condemn him to death?
47:15Anna!
47:16Tell me!
47:17I understand.
47:24We've got to move soon.
47:25He was already dying.
47:29He had an incurable disease.
47:31He was a martyr for our country.
47:38You're lying to me, father.
47:40I swear.
47:41Let me have one more minute with her.
47:48I know I can convince her to come with us.
47:50There is no time.
47:51It was part of the deal.
47:52Okay.
47:54I'll let him do the talking.
47:56He's a friend.
47:57You'll trust him.
47:58Tell her.
47:58I beg her.
48:01One minute.
48:09Kill her.
48:10Where are you taking him now?
48:25Somewhere safe.
48:27Where?
48:28Michael, you promised me no one would be harmed.
48:31He's your father.
48:32But what else is he?
48:34Tell me!
48:35Tell me!
48:36Where is she?
48:36Why is she not coming?
48:40Listen.
48:41Listen to me, Anna.
48:42And listen carefully.
48:42Why is she not coming?
48:44I'll explain everything.
48:46About your father.
48:48And about why...
48:50Why we can't let you leave here.
48:54What's she in your...
48:58Anna!
49:01Anna!
49:02Anna!
49:02At last.
49:30Great Uncle Bulgaria.
49:34Welcome to England.
49:41You going with him?
49:42Not with me.
49:46I suppose I better go with the boss.
49:47Why not?
49:50Try not to lose her this time.
49:53I'll do my best.
49:54I'll do my best.
50:08You go home.
50:09Bye.
50:10Bye.
50:14Bye.
50:18Bye.
50:18Bye.
50:19Bye.
50:19Bye.
50:22Bye.
50:23Bye.
50:23Bye.
50:24Bye.
