03:38Bye.
03:39Bye.
03:35Give me your considered opinion, Jack. Off the record.
03:40Seven below par. Those two are still a crack team.
03:42Oh, not that team, Jack Booty.
03:45Jack may just be going through a bad patch.
03:46Jack, we know he's going through a bad patch.
03:48What I'm asking you is why.
03:50Old age?
03:51What?
03:52It's a possibility.
03:53Oh, come off.
03:55Look at professional boxers.
03:56They're at their peak, then suddenly the legs go.
03:58They keep on fighting.
04:00Well, for many years after, but everyone knows they're not where they were.
04:03The legs have gone.
04:05I've seen them go much younger than Booty.
04:07Have you run a complete physical on them?
04:09Yes, and I...
04:10I've disguised it by giving it to everyone else.
04:11And?
04:13Well, all the medical, scientific stuff...
04:15...stuff's tip-top.
04:15Oxygen capacity, glycogen storage, the lot.
04:18But then so they probably were.
04:20...with Randy Turpin when he was over the hill.
04:22What about his reflexes?
04:23There are no empirical tests.
04:25...to measure them to the accuracy needed.
04:26Our boys are making calculations and adjustments...
04:30...at speeds the human nervous system is not meant to be able to attain.
04:33Could he be over...
04:35...or trained, maybe, still?
04:36That can't be ruled out.
04:38How would you deal with it if that was the case?
04:40Standard alternative.
04:41Either we lay him off for a while, rest and test, or we double...
04:45...his training load in all categories and examine again.
04:49What do you call that?
04:50...to make a break.
04:53How close is he to...
04:55...his limits right now?
04:56Could he take that sort of increase?
04:57There's only one way to find out.
04:59Well...
05:00...so we're not running a convalescent home, Jack, are we?
05:03No, sir.
05:05What are you two on?
05:09Three minute in...
05:10...the animals?
05:10Yeah.
05:15Well, we'll try it again on two.
05:20Sixty-four.
05:25Sixty-five.
05:28Sixty-five.
05:29That one didn't count.
05:30Oh, that's it.
05:35You know, if you counted in French, I'd have made it.
05:39Yeah.
05:40Mathematical achievements are all behind you, my son.
05:42You ever thought I'd be coming in a missionary?
05:45Listen, I don't like positions overseas, OK?
05:50Instruction.
05:52Each line contains an odd letter.
05:55Answer one to five.
06:00Yeah.
06:01So, that's a large problem.
06:02You gotta talk about it.
06:04All right.
06:04...
06:06...
06:08...
06:11...
06:12...
06:13...
06:13...
06:14...
06:15...
06:15is
06:17...
06:17Okay, I'm going to
06:22shorten your answer time from one and a half seconds to half a second.
06:27Instruction. If 80 documents are encoded in half an hour...
06:32How many in seven and a half hours? Answer A to E.
06:37Ok...
06:42how'd I do Doc? for a mental defective it was a genius score
06:47for a genius it was mentally defective and what about those deliberately wild answers I threw into confusion
06:52I'm afraid your wild answers have long since ceased to take anyone by surprise
06:57least of all the computer it already has a built-in personalized idiosyncrasy
07:02function just for you thank you has it never occurred to you that the only
07:07questions you deliberately answer wrongly are the ones to which you easily know the right answers
07:11and has it further never pen
07:12penetrated your pretty curls that the computer is fully aware of your areas of competence and con
07:17consequently takes special register of extreme deviations from normal and expected competence
07:22what are you doing tonight? as for taking refuge in sexual chauvinism you've already
07:27branded yourself loud and clear what how? by attributing masculinity to the
07:32computer well Herbie hmm and interestingly enough although you make it
07:37a male presumably because you feel somewhat in awe of its undoubted power you also feel
07:41impelled to denigrate
07:42it with a childish patronizing diminutive which suggests on the face of it a
07:47profound insecurity in sexual demarcations wouldn't you agree Bodhi?
07:52hmm oh yes miles out of his depth still watching his struggles gives
07:57you on a certain masochistic pleasure I'll tell you what
08:02I'll bet you a fiver that if you took me home with you tonight
08:07put me on your pillow when we woke up in the morning
08:12to turn back into a frog look here's
08:17five pounds take it take it now
08:22next
08:22next time I need a tooth fairy I'll send for you goodbye
08:27boys
08:32you
08:34you
08:32you
08:33you
08:37you
08:50you
08:52you
08:54you
08:42Okay.
08:47Wouldn't you agree, Bodie?
08:52Oh, he's way out of his depth.
08:55Still watching his struggles gives me a certain...
08:57...masochistic pleasure.
08:59How do you fancy my chances with a queen of cybernetics, then?
09:02It's the first time I've ever seen a piece of cheese try to seduce a mouse.
09:07What happened to your lofty ambitions in that direction, then?
09:10I'm a fat, waiting cat.
09:12And I like my mice well fed.
09:17Oh, my God.
09:18Oh, my God.
09:19Oh, my God.
09:20Oh, my God.
09:22Oh, my God.
09:2577 on three.
09:27Oh, my God.
09:28Oh, my God.
09:29Oh, my God.
09:30Oh, my God.
09:32Alpha, one nine.
09:37Oh, Mr. Cowley.
09:39Ah, Dr. Ross.
09:40Is that Bodie's file?
09:41Yes.
09:42As you can see...
09:42...it confirms my early report last month.
09:48A 10% decline in mental faculties in so short a time.
09:52You see, there is a possibility that the tests my predecessor made were consistently inflated.
09:57But my very first result also tallied with her previous ones.
10:00And, of course, Doyle's quotient is unchanged.
10:02As we expected.
10:03Are there any precedents, in your experience, Dr. Ross, to this kind of thing?
10:07No.
10:08I am running a check on other institutions and data banks just to make sure.
10:11But that information will take...
10:12...some time to come through.
10:13There is one factor in this last test which may be significant.
10:17Yeah.
10:18You see, the decline in performance was markedly reduced as the answer time...
10:22...as restricted.
10:23You can see there, he scores on 10 second intervals, 6, 4, 2...
10:26The last time he...
10:27The more he has to think, the better he does.
10:28Well, that's one way of putting it.
10:30What will be another?
10:31The more he...
10:32The more he thinks the worse he does.
10:33Well, that sounds different somehow.
10:34Well, facts are facts.
10:35Do you call a glass of water half...
10:37if it was a small glass and it had malt whisky in it
10:42that's it, it was half empty, thank you Dr Ross
10:47thank you
10:52having a drink in a pub

10:58no
10:59and I couldn't see him fighting Miss Boyle either
11:01what do you mean?

12:10I'm surprised you've got any energy
12:12you left for socialising during the current training schedule
12:15oh you know what they say don't you
12:17all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
12:19right
12:22Doyle I'm disappointed with you
12:24oh
12:25your results have been let's say
12:27unsatisfactory
12:29unsatisfactory
12:30unsatisfactory
12:31you seem to have lost your age

12:48nothing's the matter with Bodie
12:49nothing
12:50look
12:52Jack's running us pretty hard you know
12:54some of his simulations make the real thing look soft
12:57you're hanging in there
12:58yeah well
12:59Bodie did all this stuff before he joined CI5
13:01I didn't
13:02maybe he finds repetition boring
13:04no matter how he finds it he's not coming up to scratch
13:06you'll get a
13:07over it
13:08over what?
13:09whatever it is
13:10whatever what is

13:440
13:42Ciao.
13:44Ciao.
13:46Ciao.
13:47Ciao.
13:49And feels, but that's just tomorrow morning, not...
13:52Next. Next week.
13:54Month. Year.
13:57I'll bear it in mind.
14:02Miss Black.
14:06Miss Black.
14:07Jennifer Black.
14:08Yes.
14:09George Cowley, CI5.
14:10How do you do?
14:11I believe I know your...
14:12Stepfather Colonel Barrett MP.
14:14Why, yes.
14:15This is a wee bit abrupt, but...
14:17Perhaps you give me the pleasure of having lunch with me.
14:19I'm afraid I'm already meeting someone.
14:21Yes, Susan.
14:22I'm Ratcliffe.
14:23I've taken the extreme liberty of cancelling her on your behalf.
14:26Cancelling?
14:27Yes.
14:28You can telephone her from the restaurant.
14:31I'd like to...
14:32talk to you about a certain...
14:33Mr. Bodie.
14:34Mr. Cowley.
14:35Mr. Cowley.
14:36Mr. Cowley.
14:37Although I've known Bodie for some time, I'm afraid...
14:39I don't know him quite as well as you think.
14:41And there are no...
14:42personal difficulties between you.
14:43Good Lord, no.
14:44You'll forgive me if this seems...
14:47delicate, but...
14:48perhaps you might be aware if he has any women problems.
14:52Just between you and me.
14:54I should say Bodie doesn't have women problems.
14:57Now that we've emancipated ourselves, there's lots of other things...
15:02for us to worry about.
15:03How much have you seen of him in the last few months?
15:06Fair amount.
15:07More than usual?
15:08Possibly.
15:09Have you noticed any change in his behaviour?
15:12Mr. Cowley, is all this really necessary?
15:14Absolutely.
15:15Aren't you being overprotective?
15:17Ms. Black, in time, money and equipment, it takes four times as long and costs...
15:22twice as much to train one CI-5 man as one airline pilot.
15:27There are, however, much greater numbers of fully qualified pilots...
15:30throughout the world than jobs available to them.
15:32I, on the other hand, am unable to fill the vacancies I already have.
15:37With the cream of the armed forces and the entire country to choose from.
15:42It's easier to replace a trapeze artist in a high wire rack.
15:47I'm more than a man than any one of my men.
15:49You've convinced me.
15:50But I'm sorry, there's nothing else...
15:51I'm sorry, there's nothing else...
15:52I can tell you about, Birdie.
15:53Think about it.
15:54Something may come to mind.
15:56All right.
15:57And meanwhile...
15:58Yes?
15:59If and when you do see him...
16:02Keep an eye open.
16:03Spy on him.
16:04Oh, a slight exaggeration.
16:07It's for his own good.
16:08I can't help feeling all this is none of my business.
16:12You know, we don't have a bad life here.
16:15This is still one of the most elegant...
16:17and civilized places on earth.
16:20I think we all have a vested in...
16:22interest in this continuity.
16:24Even though not all of us need get our hands dirty.
16:27Ready, Birdie?
16:28Yep.
16:29Ready, Birdie?
16:30Ready, Birdie?
16:31Yep.
16:32In your own time.
16:38Here, Birdie.
16:38I don't know.
16:39I just don't know.
16:40But I can't help you out there.
16:41There's no need to go.
16:42I can't help you out then.
16:43I think you're putting a deal here.
16:44What's going on?
16:45I really don't know what you're doing.
16:46It might be difficult for you.
16:47I think the thing is doing it.
16:48I think this is something you think you have to do.
16:49I think this is a good idea.
16:50So what you're doing here, if you're doing it.
16:51There, I'm going to go.
16:53You're going to sit here, man.
16:54Let's go.
16:55I'm going to go.
16:56I'm going to go.
16:57You're going to go.
16:59You're getting ready.
17:00You're going to go.
17:02I'm going to go.
17:03You're going to go.
16:42You
16:52You
16:57You
17:02You
17:07You
17:12You
17:17You
17:22If
17:23You
17:24Were
17:25A
17:26Cat
17:27Boating
17:28You
17:29Would
17:30Have
17:31Five
17:32Lives
17:33Left
17:34Lew
17:36Time
17:38Time
17:44Consider a little child.
17:49Three years old.
17:52You take the bucket.
17:54Fills it with sand.
17:58Pets it down.
17:59Turn it over.
18:03Carefully.
18:05Lift the bucket.
18:08And it has.
18:10A sandcastle.
18:12And suddenly...
18:13It took...
18:18The spade.
18:19And destroy the sandcastle.
18:23If we could duplicate the quality of that action of destruction.
18:28In every motion.
18:32And every noun.
18:33In every motion of our lives.
18:36Then we would be living with...
18:38As the pure.
18:41And as free.
18:43As a three-year-old child.
18:48How is it?
18:51That a child.
18:53Could act with purpose.
18:55And yet.
18:56It has no time.
18:58In which...
19:00To conceive of a purpose.
19:03The motive.
19:06The motive.
19:08And the emotion.
19:11Are one.
19:12And the second.
19:13Is the same unity.
19:15What a child.
19:17Can't do.
19:18But has never learned to do.
19:23You must learn to do.
19:27Whatever.
19:28Whatever it is.
19:29You have to do.
19:31You must.
19:33Find a way.
19:33To do it.
19:38To do it.
19:43You
20:03Look, I know it's close to you, Jim.
20:08Do we have to come here afterwards?
20:10There's hundreds of other places.
20:11Good lads here.
20:12Salt and...
20:13Six pints and I'm going to panic, Chris, please, love.
20:18Six pints long and a patty of Chris, please.
20:21Oh, come on.
20:22Look, six pints long...
20:23It is interesting how you're in the way
20:28who were the first to make a distinction between
20:33the soul and the body should have had so much trouble.
20:38And disagreement about where to locate it.
20:43Some place it in the blood.
20:48Some in the liver.
20:51Others put it in the...
20:53Heart.
20:54The head.
20:57I say...
20:58I began to understand the machinery of the body,
21:01examining them under my...
21:03microscopes.
21:04They found.
21:05To their surprise.
21:09The soul is nowhere to be found.
21:12I'm afraid I...
21:13I still don't quite understand.
21:15You say there's something wrong with Bodhi's soul.
21:18If there is such a thing as a soul,
21:21then there can be...
21:23I say, by definition, nothing wrong with it.
21:26A soul is a soul.
21:28It is perfect.
21:30But when the soul which acts through...
21:33the body is now satisfied by the body's action.
21:38Then the body...
21:39not the soul...
21:41becomes...
21:42sick.
21:43Then...
21:43where is he sick?
21:44Here.
21:48Is that bad?
21:49It is the worst.
21:50Impositor.
21:51Mmm.
21:53What?
21:54Why not?
21:55Why not?
21:56Why not?
21:58Hey, John.
22:01Look, it was an accident.
22:02Let me buy you a drink.
22:03No, no, no.
22:04No way.
22:05Please let me buy you a drink.
22:06No, I'll get these.
22:07No offence, John.
22:09Hey, darling.
22:10Another two for this lad, whatever he's drinking.
22:13No, no, no.
22:14He looks a bit nervous about this.
22:15No, no, no, no, no.
22:16No, no, no, no.
22:17No, no, no, no.
23:28Sneaky.
23:30Hey!
24:34All right.
24:39Number five.
24:44Interesting, Birdie.
24:45You didn't start too well, but on the last pattern recognition series, you were 100%.
24:48Was I?
24:50Oh, well, I've always been a good finisher.
24:53Yeah, as far as...
24:53As far as finishing goes, he's the end.
24:55Herbie, your excellent score is such a deviation from your norm that I'm afraid I shall...
24:58You'll have to exclude it from your overall result.
25:01That's not fair.
25:02Something tells me you had...
25:03Yeah, he started cribbing when he was in his car.
25:08Are you a better explanation of this sudden mastery?
25:11No.
25:12Oh, I've been doing a lot of practice.
25:13Stand at the arcade lately on the Star Wars machine.
25:16Don't you think you're perhaps a little old for that kind of thing?
25:18Well, the first band that I ever tackled, Doctor, was one-armed, you know?
25:22Got the jackpot.
25:23Yeah, 60...
25:2360,000 old sixpences.
25:25Really heavy, you know?
25:26Burst into tears.
25:27Tears.
25:27Wouldn't give me three bananas.
25:28You know, he was 25 at the time.
25:33Fine.
25:36Everyone happy with four or five?
25:38Now, three-seven.
25:42Brody.
25:43Jack?
25:44Fantastic.
25:45The boy's really come on.
25:46You can forget everything I ever said about him being over the hill.
25:48Splendid shape, too.
25:50You were pleased with his physical condition, Dr. Hedlund?
25:53Yes.
25:53Rest pulse 42, lung capacity five and a half litres.
25:57We could enter him for the derby and...
25:58Wager our pensions.
26:01Dr. Ross?
26:02Well, I was clearly going to be the voice of...
26:03In my professional opinion, three-sevenths should be removed from standby classification...
26:09Pending an in-depth examination.
26:11Rubbish.
26:12I said it.
26:12Dr. Ross, with respect...
26:13We've all read your reports and I'm sure that for whatever it is they measure, the measurements
26:18are extremely...
26:18The question is, are they relevant?
26:21During the last ten weeks, tests and observations...
26:23...have indicated unequivocally that its intellectual capacities at all levels...
26:28...of the scientific, logical, intuitive, long and short-term recall, all of them are inconsistent...
26:33...in relation to each other and erratic in themselves.
26:36Now, I've made a comparison of his voice patterns.
26:38During the same period...
26:39His voice patterns...
26:41...and added together, they show that he's not in a healthy...
26:43...state of mind.
26:44Dr. Ross, don't you yourself point out that his most recent results are more than impressive?
26:48Well, that was exactly my phrase, more than.
26:51The improvement was too marked.
26:53I mean...
26:53Are we quite sure we're talking about the same person?
26:56I mean, haven't you even noticed anything odd about his general...
26:58...behaviour?
26:59What's wrong with his behaviour?
27:00Well, half the time he carries on like a child.
27:03Dr. Ross.
27:03These men are trained to kill and be killed.
27:07Every day they're called on to face...
27:08...death, not bangs and smoke, death, so that ordinary citizens can...
27:13...go about their lives without fear or apprehension.
27:16It's natural for boys like Bodie to be flippant.
27:18...about injury and death.
27:20Thank you, Jack.
27:21It's a matter of degree.
27:23I mean, take the incident...
27:23...with the water pistol.
27:25Oh, for God's sake.
27:26It was not healthy.
27:27Dr. Ross, these boys don't exist.
27:28They don't exactly have a healthy occupation.
27:31Can't they just have a little bit of simple fun now and again?
27:33Oh, as long as their mental capacities are unimpaired, they can have as much simple, hairy, masculine...
27:38...and fun as they like.
27:43Thank you, Jack.
27:48Thank you, Jack.
27:53Well, maybe it was a turning back there.
27:58I thought you said you'd been here before.
28:01Well, if I said so, I must have been, mustn't I?
28:03Why should we keep following him?
28:07I don't know.
28:08I don't know.
28:09I don't know.
28:10I don't know.
28:11I don't know.
28:12I don't know.
28:13I don't know.
28:14I don't know.
