00:00Tinker Allerline, Taylor Hayden, Soldier Bland, spot the mole.
00:08Quite.
00:10Ways and means, George.
00:12Ricky Tower will go to Paris.
00:15He'll make use of the appropriate embassy facilities
00:17to send a signal to the head of London Station.
00:23Something, something, something,
00:25which we'll now concoct.
00:30The message will be
00:33have information vital to the safeguarding of the service.
00:39Request immediate meeting, personal.
00:42Remember, vital to the safeguarding of the service.
00:47No mistakes, Ricky. Your head's on the block.
00:49Not the only one, Peter.
01:00THE END
02:45Toby Esterhazy did say two full milk bottles and all's well and you may enter, yes?
02:52Yes, George.
02:52And that's the second time, is it?
02:54Well, let's not pretend we're not nervous.
02:57Check, George.
02:59Ready to record?
03:02Shall we try it?
03:03I'll go upstairs.
03:06What'd you like?
03:08Monte Verde?
03:08Everything in Berlin?
03:10Mick Jagger?
03:10This machinery, installed at great expense to the British taxpayer, is voice activated.
03:30When I stop speaking, the tape will stop recording.
03:35See?
03:36Old man river, that old man river, he just keeps rolling.
03:46Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
04:16Hello, here's something.
04:30Soldiers just arriving.
04:33That's all three of them in there now.
04:37Under Stelte's orders.
04:39The important point is who gets away first.
04:43Just going for a walk.
04:44Back with you in a minute.
04:58Peter?
05:02All clear?
05:03As far as I can judge.
05:05No promises.
05:06I think you should come down now.
05:13Proceed?
05:14Proceed.
05:14Proceed.
05:23What's that?
05:24Nothing.
05:25Just fiddling.
05:26Just fiddling.
05:27You there?
05:38Yes.
05:39Someone just leaving.
05:40Can't quite make him out.
05:41Pulled a taxi right to the door.
05:46Cheeky.
05:48Join us.
05:50Join us.
05:52Join us.
05:53Join us.
05:57Join us.
06:01Join us.
08:53You.
08:55Yeah, yeah, you.
09:16You butchered my agent.
09:19How many cents?
09:22How many?
09:24Two hundred?
09:26Three.
09:28Four!
09:30Stop that!
09:30All right, all right!
09:32Are you armed, Bill?
09:33I'm a Soviet diplomat.
09:35His behavior...
09:36Shut up!
09:37Peter, will you please telephone Percy Allenine and ask him and Roy Bland to come here immediately.
09:42Then Lakon, then Toby Esterhazy.
09:45I think the first thing to do is to play them this evening's tapes.
09:49That should save a great deal of time in explanations.
09:53I'm here for scrutiny.
09:54Alex, really.
09:58Oh, they're on.
10:01Do you mind if I finish my drink, George?
10:04There was no one out there you noticed.
10:07Quiet as a grave.
10:07Very proper, George.
10:11Don't want anything irrelevant, do we?
10:15Very tidy, George.
10:16Do an airline go with me, Paris?
10:21He's got to.
10:23He'll delay just long enough to keep his dignity.
10:26He can't jump the moment Ricky Tarr tells him to.
10:29But he knows Tarr would never stick his neck out like this unless he's got something precious.
10:34Something to buy back his good name.
10:38And then some.
10:39And you and I know what it is.
10:43Carla's got 24 hours to pull me out.
10:47The time has come, Alex.
10:49Well, that's that.
10:56Congratulations, George.
10:58Next step, gentlemen.
10:59Would you agree with me, Percy, that our best course is to make some positive use of Bill Hayden?
11:07We need to salvage whatever's left of the networks he's betrayed.
11:13Yes.
11:14We sell Bill to Moscow Center for as many of our men in the field as can be saved.
11:21For humanitarian reasons.
11:24Professionally, of course, they're finished.
11:28Quite.
11:30Then the sooner you open negotiations with Carla, the better.
11:34Well, you're a much better place to talk terms with our friend downstairs than I am.
11:39Polyakov remains your direct link with Carla.
11:42The only difference is this time you know it.
11:46It's definitely your job, Percy.
11:49You're still chief, officially.
11:52For the moment.
11:54Very well, George.
11:56Excuse me, sir.
11:57Mr. Gilliam says, is it all right if the Inquisitors take Mr. Hayden away and out?
12:12Shall I go first?
12:23All the best, Percy.
12:37All the best, Percy.
12:37I want fawn to stay.
12:50I want fawn to stay.
12:50You hid.
13:09I want fawn to stay.
13:10I'm sorry about the assault.
13:40unprofessional it was just that it would have to be Bill Hayden wouldn't it he
13:48was always our hero in capital letters I mean for the younger lot my kind anyway
13:56the antiquated English Patriot never mind all the dirt we have to do it's for
14:02England the funny thing about all this it's quite an effort now not to think of
14:09him with affection
14:19I suppose Bill would say that means you've grown up Peter always good for a
14:24laugh wasn't he in Bill I'd like to thank you by the way you helped enormously no
14:33truly Peter
14:35I'm
14:37I'm
14:42BIRDS CHIRP
15:12BIRDS CHIRP
15:42BIRDS CHIRP
15:49BIRDS CHIRP
15:54Oh, my God.
16:24Lacon assures me there's been no coercion. I hope that's true.
16:45Oh, yes. No complaints, George. Bit of a nosebleed. Keep feeling dizzy. I'm sure it's just the excitement of it all.
16:52Oh, why have you been weeping?
16:55Sherrick's aspiration. Really, the pettiness of our inquisitors. They're utterly incompetent.
17:01They actually believe I know the names of Carla's other moles around the world. Idiots. I can't talk to people like that.
17:09But you're prepared to say something to me, according to Lacon.
17:12Can't Percy get a move on doing his horse training with Carla?
17:16Oh, I'm sure it'll only be a matter of a day or two now.
17:20What do you want to know?
17:22Oh. Why? When? How?
17:28Why?
17:28You ask that.
17:35Because it was necessary. That's why.
17:39Someone had to.
17:41We were bluffed. You, me, control, all of us.
17:50The circus talent spotters all those years ago, they picked us when we were golden with hope.
17:56Told us we were on our way to the Holy Grail.
17:59A lifetime of glory in front of us.
18:02Service to the great cause.
18:05Freedom's protectors.
18:06What a question.
18:12Why?
18:36Do you know what's killing Western democracy, George?
18:49Greed.
18:51And constipation.
18:53Moral, political, ascetic.
18:57I hate America very deeply.
19:00The economic repression of the masses.
19:03It's institutionalized.
19:07Even Lenin couldn't foresee the extent of that.
19:12Britain.
19:15Oh, dear.
19:17No viability whatever in world affairs.
19:20I suppose that's when it began.
19:26Turning my eyes to the east, I mean.
19:29When I saw how trivial we'd become as a nation.
19:32Say, mid-forties.
19:35By 1950, I was slipping Carla occasional gifts of intelligence, carefully selected morsels to help the Russian cause against America.
19:46At that time, I was scrupulous not to give Moscow anything harmful to ourselves, our own agents in the field.
19:53I still believe the secret services are the only real expression of a nation's character.
20:05Until the mid-fifties, I still had hopes.
20:12Lingering loyalty to what we represented.
20:14Self-delusion, of course.
20:21We were already America's streetwalkers.
20:32I was granted Soviet citizenship 12 years ago.
20:38They'd given me a couple of medals.
20:39What medals?
20:44I didn't ask him.
20:45Does it matter?
20:47Quite a lot to bill, one supposes.
20:49Possibly.
20:53We're going to get a bit more from him, I hope.
20:56I do hope so, George.
20:59He's right about the state of affairs down there.
21:02Slovenly.
21:03They don't even patrol the perimeter, day or night.
21:06I have mentioned it.
21:07The thinking on Sarat is that it should be as inconspicuous as possible.
21:10I'm concerned for Hayden's safety.
21:14Aren't you being a little overdramatic?
21:16The only place he can go to is Russia, and we're sending him there anyway.
21:24The number of people who need to be told about all this, as we agree, must be kept as small as possible.
21:29I suppose your wife will have to be among them.
21:35I know you told me she and Hayden are over and done with now, as we've said, but there's always the unknown factor in matters of the heart, isn't there?
21:44I'm thinking about the future, any possible further contact.
21:51And if Anne doesn't know, she does meet so many different sorts of people.
21:56She gets around.
21:58I'm sorry, George.
22:00Not at all.
22:01I quite take your point.
22:03Anne must let us know of any approach, directly or indirectly, made by or on behalf of.
22:09Exactly.
22:10Or even apparently on behalf of, or merely concerning, Bill Hayden.
22:17I was going to tell her anyway.
22:20You might call it balancing the books.
22:24Absolutely.
22:27You know, George, one thing perplexes me more than anything else about the mole conspiracy.
22:33Carla devised Operation Witchcraft primarily as a means of putting poor Percy Aliline on Control's throne.
22:40But why didn't Carla want Hayden to take over the circus himself?
22:44It surely would have been less difficult to arrange with all Bill's acknowledged accomplishments.
22:49No, no.
22:51We had the perfect set-up.
22:54Percy made the running.
22:55I slipstreamed behind him.
22:57Roy and Toby did the legwork.
22:59Far better for me to remain the freewheeling subordinate, the laughing cavalier.
23:07Being in charge could have bogged me down.
23:10Too much admin, diary full of meetings, dinners, chewing the cud in Whitehall.
23:13Never happened to Control.
23:15A natural recluse Control.
23:18I couldn't have behaved like that and got away with it.
23:21No, no, George.
23:23Carla and I agreed.
23:25I'd have been wasted as chief.
23:28Could have done it, of course.
23:29Of course.
23:30I'd like to go inside now.
23:33Some of that rain will be turning to snow.
23:56So let's put some detail on the weather now for you.
23:59And instantly I think you'll see a pretty miserable picture of the whole country covered in clouds and rain.
24:04Yes, you're right.
24:06The Czechoslovakian business was a bit of a desperate throw.
24:10But something pretty bold was called for.
24:13I was certain Control was getting very warm indeed.
24:18All that burrowing in the files he was doing.
24:21It was paying off, I knew.
24:23He'd built up an uncomfortably impressive inventory of the number of operations I'd either blown or managed to cripple.
24:31And then, of course, he was narrowing his field of suspects.
24:34A short list of officers of a certain age, experience, rank.
24:39Hmm.
24:40He did well, considering he was so ill.
24:45Surprised, Carla.
24:48Was the offer of information from General Stemchek genuine?
24:51Good Lord, no.
24:53It was a fix from start to finish.
24:55Stemchek existed, of course.
24:57Still does.
24:58Very distinguished man.
25:00But he never offered anything to Control or anybody else.
25:03Did you expect Control to send Jim Preeto?
25:10Well, obviously we needed to be certain Control would rise to the bait.
25:17We had to spell it out that he'd got to send a big gun to make the story stick.
25:23And we knew he'd only settle for someone outside London Station.
25:27Someone he trusted.
25:28And someone who spoke Czech, of course.
25:32Naturally.
25:35It had to be a man who was old circus.
25:38To bring the temple down a bit.
25:40Yes, I see the logic of that.
25:42Oh, hell.
25:43It was, perhaps, the most famous partnership the circus ever had.
25:50You and Jim, back in the old days.
25:54The iron fist in the iron glove.
25:57Who was it who coined that?
25:58I got him home, didn't I?
26:09Yes.
26:12That was good of you.
26:28The thing with Anne was Carla's idea.
26:36Was it?
26:37Yes.
26:38Did you think it was hers?
26:40Yes.
26:40The point was, Carla always thought, if there was a threat, it would come from you.
26:56He said you were quite good.
26:59But that you had this one weak spot.
27:02Anne.
27:05It was a double fix, actually.
27:07On the one hand, you weren't likely to think of me as a circus spy if you were preoccupied with what your wife and I got up to in bed.
27:16And on the other, if it was well known around the place that I was her lover, it was bound to look like personal vengeance, if you ever did suggest I might be the mole.
27:27Well, so Carla said not to strain it, but, if possible, join the queue.
27:41Point?
27:42Point.
27:45Presumably it was on Carla's instructions you were with Anne on the night of the Predo shoot-up as insurance.
27:53Oh, yes.
27:54He was adamant on that.
27:55They tell me I could be away tomorrow, or the day after at the latest.
28:10Can you make sure any mail gets forwarded from my club?
28:14Oh, and the balance of my salary, of course.
28:18I will.
28:19Anything else?
28:24Oh, yes.
28:26Nearly forgot.
28:30You've got a pen somewhere?
28:37Thanks.
28:41Girlfriend.
28:44Give her this.
28:45I'm away on work of national importance.
28:55Maybe for years.
28:59So she can forget me.
29:05And I can't take her with me, can I?
29:07Even if I could, she'd be a bloody millstone.
29:17Oh, and, um...
29:19There's one particular boy.
29:27A cherub, but no angel.
29:31I haven't seen a lot of him.
29:32You'd better give him a couple of hundred.
29:38Can you do that out of the reptile fund?
29:42I would think so.
29:43Good.
29:46Oh, God, I'm tired.
29:52My pen, please.
29:54What?
29:55Oh.
29:59Certainly.
30:01Sorry.
30:33Don't look around, Bill.
30:55Oh, it's you, Jim.
31:00Come to say goodbye?
31:02Nice of you.
31:03I'm glad to see you haven't lost your touch.
31:13Must be in pretty good shape.
31:17Why did you get me back?
31:20I couldn't leave you rotting in a Czech prison.
31:24Russian.
31:24Why didn't Carla finish me off?
31:29Was that out of delicacy to you?
31:35Wasn't that, was it?
31:37You both thought that a corpse might create a lot more fuss than just another repatriated, harmless cripple, didn't you?
31:43The shooting wasn't part of the plan, Jim.
31:47No, not the shooting.
31:52But everything else.
31:54sobbing in forever.
32:04No, no, no, no, no.
32:05But I'm going to slash.
32:07No, no, no, no.
32:07No, no.
32:07No, no, not the police.
32:09No.
32:12And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall
32:34be in the land of Egypt, that the land perish not through the famine.
32:39And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
32:46And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the
32:53spirit of God is?
32:55And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, For as much as God hath shewed thee all this, for as much
33:03as God hath shewed, for as much as God hath shewed.
33:17For as much as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou
33:41art, thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled.
33:48Only in the throne will I be grazed in the world.
33:52It seems that at half past ten, Hayden told the guards he felt a bit sick, and he thought
34:10a breath of air would help him.
34:12Because his case was now considered closed, they saw no reason to tear themselves away from
34:17some horror film that had just started on the television, and they let him wander off.
34:23Half an hour later, they thought they'd better go and look for him.
34:28He'd received no letters, messages during the day.
34:31I was the only outsider to see him.
34:34But his suit had come back from the cleaners.
34:38Possibly a message was concealed in it inviting him to a rendezvous.
34:42The guards had not inspected the suit before giving it to him.
34:48I'm afraid that doesn't surprise me.
34:54Any comments, anyone?
34:57Well, if someone went to the cleaners, said he'd lost his ticket, and could he look through
35:01the stuff ready for collection?
35:05That's one way.
35:06Would the Russians kill Hayden?
35:14It gives Carla all the reason he needs to cancel the deal on our networks.
35:20But Moscow Center prides itself on getting its people back.
35:25Important point, right?
35:26Right.
35:26Well, who then?
35:52We will all, of course, have to account for our movements.
35:56Last night.
35:57Necessary formality.
35:59Also, mental form, reggaeton.
36:02Then, as to the future,
36:07I've been asked to look after things for a while.
36:12I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:15And afterwards, there'll be some redeployment.
36:34For those of you who wish to remain with the service.
36:38I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:39I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:40I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:41I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:42I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:43I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:44I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:45I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:46I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:47I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:48I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:49I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:50I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:51I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:52I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:53I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:54I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:55I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:56I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:57I'd like everyone to take some leave.
36:58Oh, my God.
37:28George.
37:39Hello.
37:40Anne.
37:51Just the same.
37:53You two.
37:55No, um...
37:59Julian, was that his name?
38:02Jake.
38:04Anne, no Jake. Gone.
38:07I actually got a job somewhere.
38:09I'm quite free at the moment.
38:12Enjoying it.
38:14Uncle Gazelgatz is away too.
38:16Madrid, so I've got the household for myself.
38:18I brought you this.
38:20It goes, um...
38:24Oh, George.
38:27Very nice of you.
38:30Well, what's been happening?
38:34How have you all been?
38:43Did Bill say anything about me?
38:45I mean...
38:47Me as a person, would he thought about me?
38:49Not really.
38:53Are you glad he's dead?
38:55Please...
38:56Don't say not really.
38:58No, I'm not glad.
39:01There was a moment...
39:03when I knew.
39:06When I heard his voice talking to Polyakov.
39:10Just for a moment, I wanted to shoot him.
39:14But it passed.
39:17Bill betrayed totally, didn't he?
39:20Everything.
39:21Everyone.
39:24Is he taking some kind of revenge?
39:26He must have talked to you quite a lot.
39:28Should I have passed all that on to you?
39:30Pillow talk.
39:36Describe Bill.
39:40Yet another man trying to find a little place in history.
39:44Oh, but George.
39:46Bill standing at the centre of some secret stage,
39:49playing world against world.
39:50He had a wonderful time.
39:51He enjoyed himself.
39:53He loved being a traitor.
39:57I'm glad he's dead.
39:58His life was over.
40:02I'm glad for him.
40:05Did you love him?
40:10Anne!
40:13Did you?
40:19No, George.
40:27Poor George.
40:29Life's such a puzzle to you, isn't it?
40:32None of you have succeeded.
40:40God saves life by you, and Oftentimes.
40:41Please rest on my television.
40:44Yes.
40:49If God saves life by you, by a fireman's hand,
40:55Peace, according to thy word.
41:17Oh, my eyes have seen my salvation
41:33Which now has breathed me for the face of all people
41:51To be your light, to light your chances
42:07And to be the glory of thy people
42:17To be your light, to light your eyes
42:24Glory be to the Father
42:34And to the Son
42:38And to the Holy Ghost
42:42As it was in the beginning
42:46Is now and ever shall be
42:53Born without end
42:59Amen
43:07Amen
43:08Amen
43:10Amen
43:12Amen
