00:00I
00:51All right, let's see it.
01:21It's good stuff.
01:23There's no speed in it.
01:27How much are you asking?
01:29A hundred thousand.
01:30You must be kidding.
01:31It's worth a quarter of a million.
01:33Oh, think about it.
01:34Put that down!
01:35That's our property!
01:37Drop it!
01:38Rudy, no!
01:39Head back!
02:21All right, we'll be at oneή us a pairing and our får sure .
02:28This is probably north.
03:28I'll be hurt. Someone else must have got hurt.
03:30He gave the alarm.
03:32Lives in the building.
03:35What's your name?
03:37Cranley. Arthur Cranley.
03:39Arthur, try and remember everything.
03:42It was a noise.
03:43I thought it was a door banging.
03:45Then lots of feet on the stairs.
03:47I went to look.
03:49And they were dragging Philip out.
03:52He was hurt.
03:53Philip? Who's Philip?
03:55This was his flat.
03:56These people who were dragging him out.
03:58What did they look like?
03:59Other students, I think.
04:01I've seen them before.
04:02How many?
04:03Two. Boy and a girl.
04:07Don't see it?
04:08The boy had a pistol.
04:10He pointed it at me.
04:12And shouted at me to get back.
04:14I was frightened.
04:16He shouted at you. What then?
04:17I went back to my room and waited.
04:20Then I came out.
04:22And found Pamela.
04:29Did they have a car?
04:32You didn't see.
04:35You said you knew them before.
04:36Did they have a car then?
04:37I don't know.
04:39This Philip, what was his other name?
04:41Latimer, sir.
04:42Philip Latimer.
04:45What does he study?
04:46Some research.
04:48He's a postgraduate.
04:50Biology, I think.
04:52I don't know.
04:54Well?
04:58It's not exactly the mafia, is it?
05:00Who leaves 20 grand's worth of coke lying around here?
05:03Follow it up or leave to the drug squad, sir?
05:05We follow it up.
05:07This may not be related to organised crime,
05:09but it's too close for comfort.
05:11I suppose marijuana did start in universities.
05:14Oh, yes, go ahead.
05:15It's maybe like we're trying it with cocaine, though.
05:17Cocaine's a rich man's drug.
05:19How many students could afford it?
05:20Well, someone laid out for it, didn't they?
05:22Maybe they nicked it.
05:24Find out everything you can about this Latimer.
05:26Also the dead girl.
05:28Oh, and, uh,
05:30see if you can get a usable description
05:31of the two that dragged Latimer away.
05:47Well?
05:48Well?
05:48He leaned on them.
05:49Good.
05:50Shouldn't be any more bother.
05:51Well done.
05:52He, uh,
05:53had a slight problem.
05:54What problem?
05:55An accident.
05:57What sort of accident?
05:59Some shooting.
05:59Oh, my God.
06:03We had no alternative.
06:04How serious?
06:05Well, they drew on us.
06:06We had no choice.
06:06Pretty serious.
06:07What exactly did...
06:08Well,
06:10one of them wounded.
06:11Very badly wounded.
06:13The girl
06:14almost certainly killed.
06:15For God's sake, Smith,
06:16they were meant to be kids.
06:17They were armed.
06:18We had no choice.
06:19It was them or us.
06:21What about the stuff?
06:22Powell has it.
06:24Do they have any more?
06:24Then I have no time to check.
06:27We can't take the risk.
06:29What?
06:30We've steered up a hornet's nest.
06:32Police,
06:33customs and excise.
06:34Sooner or later,
06:35they'll track down those kids,
06:36then Powell,
06:37then us.
06:37They'll have to go.
06:39The kids?
06:39Fast!
06:41Right.
07:14Philippe!
07:16Philippe!
07:17Not conscious.
07:18Can you feel his pulse?
07:21We have to take him to a hospital.
07:23Can't.
07:24We must.
07:26Police may be there.
07:27That's a risk we have to take.
07:28No!
07:30Philippe!
07:31Rudy is dying!
07:41He's dead.
07:42No, he's not.
07:45I can't feel his heart.
07:50It's feeble,
07:51but it's still beating.
07:53We can take him to a house,
07:55ring the doorbell,
07:56and leave him.
07:57After all he's done for us.
07:58It's more important
07:59that we stay free.
08:01Not if it means
08:02he has to die.
08:05Philippe!
08:10What's the puzzle, Jeff?
08:11This stuff's like nothing
08:12we've ever tested.
08:13It is cocaine.
08:15Well, that's almost
08:15a philosophical question.
08:17In what way?
08:18Either it's cocaine
08:19with a lot of other things added,
08:20or it's something similar
08:21to cocaine,
08:22but not exactly cocaine.
08:24Don't they cut it
08:25with other stuff
08:26to make it go further?
08:27Usually.
08:27But,
08:28when I isolate the substance
08:30that responds
08:31to the cocaine separation,
08:32it doesn't behave
08:33like cocaine anymore.
08:34What do you make of that?
08:36It's as if there are two,
08:37possibly more,
08:38active substances,
08:39neither of which is cocaine,
08:41but combined together
08:42they produce the same effect.
08:43Is that feasible?
08:45If it is,
08:46it means that someone
08:46has succeeded
08:47where every other chemist
08:48in the world has failed.
08:49Succeeded in what?
08:50Making artificial cocaine.
08:58Any luck?
08:59Everyone's on holiday.
09:00This place has been taken over
09:01by a foreigner's language school.
09:04Got a list, though.
09:04Might as well check it out
09:05for the embassy.
09:06What about the dead girl's landlord?
09:07Our rooms will let out
09:08by the college.
09:09She was a month behind
09:10with the rent, you know.
09:11Ah, you win some,
09:12you lose some.
09:12Anything on, Latimer?
09:14Same old story.
09:15Hey, his professor's gone off
09:16on an orchid hunting expedition
09:17in Borneo.
09:18Do you fancy a trip?
09:19Well, this time, yeah.
09:20Why not?
09:21You'll have to bring
09:22your butterfly net.
09:23It's already packed, mate.
09:25Anything else?
09:26Yeah, I got his date of birth
09:27and so on from the registrar
09:28for what it's worth.
09:294-5 to Central, though.
09:31Come in, 4-5.
09:32Run a check for me
09:33on Philip Latimer.
09:34Date of birth,
09:3426 of the 8th, 55.
09:36He's a postgraduate student.
09:37Over.
09:37Going through.
09:40Why do I need
09:41a butterfly net for orchids?
09:43A strong head like you
09:44going to catch him
09:45with your fingers.
09:464-5, your check is
09:47starting to come through.
09:48So much of it?
09:49A lot.
09:50Want me to read it out?
09:51Yeah, go ahead.
09:52Latimer, Philip K.
09:52Born, 26 August, 1955.
09:54Charged November 1974

10:01Received two years
10:02suspended sentence.
10:04Listed as PhD student
10:05in molecular isomorphy.

10:21Okay, thanks, Tens.
10:22We'll relay that
10:22to Alpha Control.
10:24Stand by for
10:25our Embassy
10:25Immigration checklist,
10:27will you?
10:27Over.
10:27Ready when you are.
10:28What do you make of that, then?
10:29Government warning.
10:30Smoking marijuana
10:31can be dangerous
10:32to your political health.
10:33It's not the usual
10:34kind of background
10:35for a peddler
10:35of hard drugs, though,
10:36is it?
10:37A lot of money, innit?
10:38Perhaps you saw the light
10:38and became a capitalist.
10:39There are slower ways.
10:40Yeah, like working for CI5.
10:423-7 with crosscheck.
10:443-7 any time.
10:45It's going to be a long one.
10:47Abrahams,
10:48Mark Isenthal,
10:50Antoine,
10:51Estelle,
10:51that's spelled
10:52E-S-T-E-L-L-E.
10:54I've just spoken
10:55to some police department
10:56and told them
10:56we haven't got anything
10:57of that description.
10:58Well, this is a hospital,
10:59not an information bureau.
11:01Besides,
11:02all gunshot injuries
11:03are automatically reported
11:04at the local police station.
11:06Sorry,
11:06I've never missed you.
11:46Do something, Diana!
11:48Come on!
11:50Come on!
11:51Take it, Lex!
11:54Come on!
11:59Somebody help us!
12:02All right, give him your hand.
12:04That's all right, don't worry.
12:05Here, Phil, you've done.
12:06You've done totally quickly.
12:07Come on!
12:07Right, take his legs.
12:09Right, what happened?
12:10Please, please, be careful.
12:11It's a gunshot.
12:12Gunshot?
12:13Right, but I'm straight attached to him.
12:14It's all right, love.
12:15We look after him.
12:16Don't worry, love.
12:16Diana.
12:17It's all right.
12:18All right.
12:18It's pretty sweet, Diana.
12:20Come on.
12:46No, we'll be trapped.
12:48What do you want?
12:50No, we'll be trapped.
12:52Tina!
12:54It's a girl.
13:05Block.
13:05Do you want her?
13:06Oh, Ricky?
13:08Woof!
13:13Vielleicht!
13:16Kathyеров?
13:17Yep.
13:18Oh, yes.
13:20You've been there today.
13:20gute Pav explains what was helped you get in Afghanistan. We're
14:20Get off!
14:324-5 to control, over.
14:33Come in, 4-5.
14:34Yeah, we got it.
14:35Weiger, Volkswagen, Microbus, registration number, whiskey, Yankee, uniform, 7-5-0, Tango.
14:42It's all this tatty, two-tone gray, pale blue.
14:47You had these on him.
14:493-7, I'm in St. Luke's Hospital.
14:51I've got some idea on the man.
14:53There's a driving license, a bank card here.
14:55Phillip Kenneth Latimer.
14:57And he's dead.
14:58Got another one.
15:00Volkswagen, Microbus, left-hand drive, registration number, whiskey, Yankee, uniform, 7-5-0, Tango,
15:06is registered in the name of Diana Molmer, license number 605031, date of birth 3561.
15:12Give me security on that right away.
15:20Just been fired.
15:29No ID.
15:32Have you ever seen one of those before?
15:34Yeah, it looks familiar, doesn't it?
15:364-5 to Alpha 1, over.
15:38Come in, 4-5.
15:39We've got another body on the floor, but I think it could have a rat underneath it, over.
15:43Just what do you mean?
15:44Well, he's got no ID, but he's got an SIS issue, walkie-talkie, over.
15:49Sir, I'm getting an unusual code reading on Diana Molmer.
15:52It's a classified readout.
15:54What classification?
15:55A9.
15:56We have no access.
15:57A9?
15:58Is that the only Molmer?
15:59No, there's one other, Rudiger Molmer.
16:02What do you read of him?
16:04Refer to Molmer Diana.
16:073-7 and 4-5, this is Alpha 1.
16:09I'm giving you all available units.
16:11Whatever happens, I want those kids alive.
16:19Drive on fast, and don't turn up before the end of the road.
16:383-7 and 4-5, we're in Queensway, turning east into Inverness Place, over.
16:47I'm now in position behind the CI5 agent's car.
16:51They don't appear to suspect being followed.
16:53Out.
16:55What about that A9 restriction at Molmer?
16:58I've checked the coding.
16:59It's Foreign Office.
16:59What department?
17:00We don't have it logged.
17:035-7-7-B.
17:05Sir.
17:06The car hijack report, just coming in now.
17:11St. Luke's Hospital, that must be them.
17:13Alpha Control to 3-7.
17:15Emergency sighting.
17:16Suspects dropped off by hijacked motorists on Norfolk Street ten minutes ago.
17:24Man is armed, wounded.
17:26The girl helping him.
17:35It's looking bad.
17:36How bad?
17:38CI5 is closing in on them.
17:40Have they located them yet?
17:41No.
17:43It's only a matter of time.
17:44What about Harris?
17:45Dead.
17:46Well, at least he won't talk.
17:48His fingerprints will.
17:49Well, straight to the department.
17:51You can leave that to me.
17:52Do you still have a tail on CI5?
17:55I'm too busy hunting for the kids to look behind him.
17:57Then stick to CI5.
17:59Let them lead you to the kids, then pick them off whenever you get the chance.
18:03Right.
18:09Land of a thousand bedsits.
18:12I've heard that one.
18:13Yeah.
18:14And hotels.
18:163-7.
18:18We're in the haystack.
18:19High-skinned for the needles.
18:27Dr. Roberts.
18:36He's been shot.
18:38Help me.
18:39Please do something.
18:41Please help me.
18:49You've got to get to hospital.
18:51You fix it.
18:53I can't.
18:55Do something.
18:57Luke, hurry.
19:06Good God, man.
19:07I can't stop this.
19:08You have internal rupture of a main artery.
19:11Do what you can.
19:12You've got to go to hospital.
19:13You're going to bleed to death.
19:15Did you get any further with that A9 restriction coding?
19:17Negative, sorry.
19:18But I did get a Molnar reference, sir.
19:20It may be something.
19:24There was an Alexander Molnar, graduated from Sandhurst, 1950, on an Escondias government requisition.
19:30What category was that under?
19:32Left-wing sympathies.
19:34Did you check SIS in Escondias military?
19:36Yes, no record.
19:38Find out our level of diplomatic contact with the Escondias regime.
19:42Yes, sir.
19:43And see if you can trace where Molnar is now.
19:46If he's still alive and still in uniform, he could be in quite a senior position.
19:50Shall I try Army Intelligence?
19:52Yes.
19:54A left-winger at Sandhurst.
19:56Not exactly a stereotype.
20:11That red saloon, two cars back.
20:14Yeah.
20:15Didn't we pass it earlier?
20:18What, at the hospital?
20:19By the roundabout.
20:25What via?
20:25Three, seven, four, five.
20:27We have another sighting in your area at the junction of Queensgate Road and Lime Street.
20:31Yeah, I'll do a left, dear.
20:34Oh!
20:41Oh, man.
20:59Hey.
21:01Oh, man.
21:02Wow.
21:02A9 restriction coding 577B on Monmouth,
21:06traced to Foreign Office Department MI-17.
21:09Eyewitness confirms male suspect wounded, armed and dangerous.
21:12Injuries fake them as immediately treated.
21:14This MI-17 identification, is it confirmed?
21:17I double-checked it myself.
21:18The department head is called Northcott.
21:21Northcott.
21:22MI-17, otherwise known as DDT.
21:25DDT?
21:26A light-hearted epithet for Department of Dirty Tricks.
21:29Alpha 1 to 3, 7 and 4, 5.
21:31Anticipate interference with maximum prejudice.
21:34You are not alone.

22:14No.
22:16I want you to trace a man called Summerfield in Security Liaison.

23:09Yes, sir.
23:09Then call him again.
23:10Repeat the request and advise him that if I can't talk to Summerfield right away,

24:17I have men in your area who will protect you.
24:19Tell me where you are.
24:22How can I believe you?
24:24You have to trust me.
24:27You have to trust me.
24:27We've spoken to the doctor who treated your companion.
24:31My companion?
24:33He must be taken to hospital now or he'll die.
24:37Will you take him to hospital?
24:38I give you my word.
24:41Tell me where you are.
24:43He needs blood.
24:44We have an ambulance already approaching your area.
24:47Tell me where you are.
24:49Is it an hotel?
24:53Miss Molnar, are you still there? Can you hear me?
24:56Miss Molnar, hello?
24:57Hello?
24:59Miss Molnar, trust me.
25:01Please trust me.
25:03Hello?
25:07We are in the Phaedra Hotel.
25:11Just passed that two streets ago.
25:36Well, we stand in the public and looking for the B-C-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S
25:39-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S
25:41-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S-A-S
25:43-A-S-A-S-A-S-A.
25:43Now, don't let that go.
25:45Stand up.
25:46Stand up.
26:03Everything will be all right. Come on, sit down.
26:17I think we're too late.
26:18Why?
26:19He's lost too much blood.
26:22I think we're going to have to risk O negative.
26:34I think we're too late.
27:03Please.
27:06Okay.
27:22Hold the back high. The gravity is...
27:30...and we're too late.
27:32We're too late.
27:33Another puddle!
27:34Get down!
27:38Bloody!
27:52Miss Mulder, my name is George Cowley.
27:55There are some questions I have to ask you.
27:59Do you mind if I call you Diana?
28:03You murdered my brother.
28:06That's not true.
28:08I trusted you.
28:13Yours was the voice I spoke to.
28:15You arranged it.
28:16We did our best to save his life.
28:18And yours.
28:20That was a charade.
28:22A piece of theatre to fool the world, but not me.
28:25I know how you do things in this country.
28:28If that was the case, then why didn't we kill you too?
28:31I don't know.
28:33Perhaps you tried, perhaps you missed.
28:35Why don't we kill you now?
28:37Because you're not ready to.
28:40Because you will try to make it look like an accident.
28:43Because you're cowards.
28:44But Diana, why should we kill you?
28:48The same reason you killed Rudy.
28:51The same reason you killed Philip.
28:53And why should we have killed them?
28:56Yeah, come on, tell us.
28:58Please.
28:59We need to know.
29:02Why do you ask me these stupid questions?
29:06Because we want to know who killed your brother and Philip.
29:11You want to help us find out?
29:15You're about the only person who can.
29:19Who are you?
29:22Why should I help you?
29:24Don't you want to know who killed your brother?
29:30Mum, I see you.
29:32See what?
29:34This is how they do interrogations in my country too.
29:39What country is that?
29:45Yes?
29:46Colonel Torres to see you, sir.
29:47Send him in.
29:53CI5 have got the Molnir girl.
29:55Then it's all over.
29:57No, it's not.
29:58The brother is dead.
30:00The chemist is dead.
30:01She's the only one left to worry about.
30:03But that is enough.
30:05We'll make her talk.
30:07She may talk, but what does she really know?
30:10They will piece it together.
30:12Only if they question her long enough.
30:14Now, how can we stop that?
30:16We extricate legally.
30:19Ah.
30:20By using international law.
30:27Where did the cocaine come from?
30:30What cocaine?
30:32How do you bring it into the country?
30:33Did you bring it into the country?
30:34Or was it manufactured here?
30:36How did you intend to sell it?
30:38Did they tell you who to take it to?
30:39Or did they leave that part to you?
30:41Hey, who the hell is they?
30:43The ones you're fronting for.
30:46The ones who sent you here and funded Philip.
30:52Look.
30:53Can't you see you've been set up by people
30:55who didn't give that much for your brother's life?
30:58Or the poor girl who got killed.
31:00You said she was completely innocent.
31:03Poor.
31:05Poor.
31:08What do any of you in this country know about poverty?
31:13Do you have starving peasants?
31:16Malnutrition?
31:17Children dying of tuberculosis and curable diseases?
31:22Young people going blind from vitamin deficiency?
31:27Interesting.
31:35Are you sure there won't be any problem?
31:36None at all.
31:38Remember, apart from the bit we've been through,
31:40will I do all the talking.
31:52Northcote.
31:53Foreign office.
31:54May I present His Excellency,
31:56Senor Eduardo Torres,
31:58special attache of the embassy
32:00of the government of General Olivares,
32:03the head of CI5.
32:04Your Excellency.
32:07Her Majesty's government
32:09has informed our consulate
32:10that you have here
32:11a Diana Molnar in your custody.
32:15She's one of our subjects.
32:17And Miss Molnar is in the service of our country
32:20and is full protection of diplomatic immunity.
32:24As co-signatory of the Geneva Convention,
32:27we request and demand
32:29that you release her forthwith.
32:30There seems to be some mistake.
32:33We do hold a Diana Molnar here
32:35under the Special Powers Terrorism Act,
32:37and we also have a passport
32:39which is West German
32:40and not diplomatic.
32:43Perhaps there are two Diana Molnars.
32:46She holds dual nationality.
32:49Those credentials,
32:51countersigned by our own government,
32:53provide her with the necessary status.
32:58Date it today.
33:01Excuse me, may I?
33:03There are duplicates.
33:12Well, Miss Molnar,
33:13whoever your backers are,
33:15they appear to be very highly placed.
33:17What do you mean?
33:18A gentleman has arrived here
33:19from your embassy.
33:20You've been provided
33:21with diplomatic status.
33:23Well, aren't you the lucky one?
33:25I don't understand.
33:27Don't you?
33:34It's a trick.
33:35Not an hour, but...
33:40They're going to kill me.
33:46Come with me.
33:48Come with me.
34:01Miss Molnar,
34:02you and your brother
34:04were trafficking in illegal drugs.
34:07In order to prevent
34:08great disgrace and shame
34:11falling on our country,
34:12our military rulers
34:13have given you honorary diplomatic status.
34:17The Foreign Office
34:18is prepared to accept
34:19a retroactive emendation
34:21on condition that you are
34:23repatriated within 24 hours.
34:26What if I refuse?
34:28You cannot refuse.
34:30I can claim
34:32political asylum.
34:36Can't I?
34:38If you should choose that course
34:40and if asylum is granted,
34:41you will bring international
34:42humiliation on our country
34:45and possible retribution
34:47to your friends and relatives at home.
34:50You must not think only of yourself.
34:53Will you come?
34:57I have no choice.
35:01Then let us go.
35:09Wait.
35:11I hereby arrest you, Diana Molnar,
35:13and charge you with being
35:15an accessory to murder
35:16and conspiracy to trafficking and drugs.
35:19until her diplomatic status
35:21is legally acknowledged
35:23in a magistrate's court,
35:24she will remain officially
35:26under the care and custody
35:27of C.I. 5.
35:28What does this mean?
35:30A wearisome formality.
35:32I'm a stickler for detail,
35:35Your Excellency.
35:35Fine.
35:37Now can we proceed?
35:39We're not standing in your way.
35:54Will you ride with me?
35:55We'll come to last.
36:24I'm just waiting for the car.
36:25I'll only be a few minutes.
36:46I'm afraid no one can help you
36:48very much with Northcott.
36:49Why is that?
36:50His department is one of the funny ones.
36:52It has complete autonomy.
36:54A PM appointment?
36:56Lord, no.
36:58It's like us not.
36:58A PM has never heard of its existence.
37:00Then how is it answerable?
37:03Long, exhaustive process.
37:05Official complaint,
37:07subcommittee,
37:08closed hearings, and so forth.
37:09By which time
37:10it's always too late.
37:11The Diana Molnar business
37:13is an entirely different kettle of fish.
37:14Or should I say can of beans?
37:16Perhaps nest of vipers.
37:18You're much too moral, George.
37:20If it wasn't for your threat
37:21of an emergency requisition,
37:23I'd prefer to spare you
37:24the seamy details
37:25of the barely forgivable face
37:27of secret diplomacy.
37:29Oh, don't worry.
37:30I've looked under stones before.
37:32I know the things that crawl there.
37:34Diana Molnar's father
37:35is highly placed
37:36in the right-wing military junta
37:38in her country.
37:39Ah.
37:41Now, their country
37:41is completely broke.
37:43But because of the current obsession
37:45with human rights in the world,
37:47it has difficulty
37:47in finding trading partners
37:49and international loans.
37:51I'm not surprised.
37:53The biggest single source of income
37:55is cocaine.
37:56It always was.
37:58And like its more legitimate predecessors,
38:00the Olivarez government
38:01has taken over the cocaine trade.
38:03Virtually its only source of income,
38:05but it's worth 800 million pounds a year.
38:07I see.
38:09And Diana Molnar
38:10was fronting that operation for them.
38:12Good God, no.
38:15Then what?
38:16She was trying to stop it.
38:18To stop it?
38:19What she tried to do
38:20is really rather clever.
38:22See, the world cocaine scene
38:23has been shifting to London,
38:24as you know,
38:25and so her government's main income
38:26now comes from here.
38:29Diana Molnar found some research chemists
38:31to manufacture cocaine
38:32artificially in this country.
38:34And what she and her fellow revolutionaries
38:37had to do
38:37was to cut in
38:38on the imported supply
38:39from her country,
38:41replace it with their own homemade stuff,
38:43and topple the dictatorship back home
38:45by strangling its funds.
38:47And then they ran into Northcote's department.
38:50So what will happen to Diana Molnar now?
38:53I understand she'll be taken to court this afternoon.
38:56Her new diplomatic credentials
38:58will be presented,
38:59and then she'll walk out of the building.
39:01And everyone's hands will be clean.
39:04Including Northcote's department.
39:07You have a much cleaner job
39:09keeping the domestic house in order.
39:12Haven't you, John?
39:19This is Alpha 1, 2, 3, 7, and 4, 5.
39:21Come in, please.
39:234, 5, 3, 7.
39:24We're outside the courthouse.
39:26Has she come out yet?
39:27No.
39:28There could be an attempt
39:29to assassinate Diana Molnar
39:31outside the court.
39:32Listen carefully.
39:34Anticipate strong resistance.
39:36Prevent danger to her at all costs.
39:38Suggest you take her to maximum security
39:40as soon as she comes out.
39:41Have you got that?
39:42Yeah, 4, 5, roger.
39:44One more thing.
39:45This is an Operation Susie.
39:47Over.
39:51Uh, 3, 7.
39:52Could you repeat that, please?
39:54Over.
39:54Protection Molnar is an Operation Susie.
39:57Over.
39:583, 7 confirmed.
39:59Over.
39:59If anything goes wrong,
40:01you're on your own.
40:02Abandon identification and RT.
40:04Repeat.
40:04If anything goes wrong,
40:05you're on your own.
40:07This order will be erased.
40:12It's always ours, isn't it?
40:14Yeah.
40:17We haven't played with our trains
40:19for a while, though, have we?
40:21What, down at the old, uh...
40:24Yeah, I suppose that's the best place.
40:26Is it driving something foreign?
40:28Yeah, why not?
40:31Welcome to the diplomatic community,
40:33Miss Molnar.
40:36What happens now?
40:38We suggest you leave the country
40:40within the next 24 hours.
40:42Otherwise, you will be formally deported.
40:43In which case,
40:44you will be returned directly
40:45to your own country.
41:15Alpha Control Unit 74,
41:18foreign female
41:18diplomat abducted from central court by two men last scene located the minister on liverpool road
41:23from east he's still in conference security cabinet will the private secretary do no
41:31i still can't raise three seven oh four five
42:07the attorney general's office there's no position we can take we must comply with whatever they
42:12request well our information is that two of your men vody and doyle have kidnapped diana molner
42:21who has foreign diplomat status if that is true then according to the act under which ci5 is
42:27authorized you must disclose their whereabouts if known to you failure to do this could technically
42:33constitute treason the penalties of which you are fully aware just a moment
42:42we must comply the computer recorded the suspensions of duty of three seven and four five before the
42:47time of the abduction meaningless supposing i don't know where they are if they're found on our property
42:52or they're found in any subsequent time to have used our property in the course of the abduction
42:55that'll give them enough to hang us unless we cooperate fully account with delay that is
43:01non-cooperation that is worse it's obstruction bode and doyle are finished anyway don't let them bring
43:09us down with them but why does northcote want her so badly i'm sure that's something we'd rather not know
43:22the two former agents you've inquired about had access to all our safe houses the list of which are
43:29in your own computer in addition there's an emergency grounding station special to three seven and four
43:35five unit at the old south bank terminal thank you northcote three seven and four five are quite
43:44proficient i suggest that in order to reduce casualties you give them every chance to surrender we can handle
43:55it cheer up it cheer up it's not that serious they're hurting good
44:03what happens now it's a very good question you rescued me whose side are you on yours
44:16i don't understand look we're just following our orders those orders are to protect you from
44:51you from whoever's out there
44:54You contributed 100,000 pounds to the left-wing resistance in Latin America.
44:59Famine relief.
45:00Of course.
45:02What would you do, what would your union be likely to do,
45:06if they were to discover that the British government is secretly funding the Olivari's military government?
45:13If that was true, no damn well would pull the rug out and force an election.
45:20But I have to tell you, George,
45:22George, you've been misinformed.
45:25In what way?
45:27Our union has been involved in top-secret trade agreements with the Workers' Revolutionary Party of that country,
45:33and our Prime Minister.
45:36There's going to be a coup.
45:38It wasn't a bluff?
45:39It was even a general present, one of Olivari's chiefs of staff, who is to lead the coup.
45:45My God.
45:46The PM wouldn't mess with us, George,
45:49even though some of the Cabinet, and I've no doubt half of Whitehall, would love it.
45:54There'd be a revolution in the Cabinet.
45:56It'd be the end of the PM's career.
46:00Don't answer this, Alex.
46:01Was the general in question called Alexander Marner?
46:08I won't answer it.
46:12By the way, what was the favour you wanted, George?
46:16Why, another time, Alex.
46:18Maybe never.
46:23Are we safe now?
46:25Don't worry.
46:27There's only one other person who knows we're here.
46:30Yeah, and he's on our side.
46:31Mr Cowley?
46:33That's right.
46:35He makes people trust him.
46:38I think she's got his number.
46:56They're in the red carriage.
46:57One and two standing aground.
46:58Units five, six, and seven take the rear.
47:12If you and your brother succeeded in selling that coke,
47:15what were you going to do with the money?
47:17Buy weapons.
47:18Weapons for, um...
47:19But the resistance movement.
47:21We hadn't actually bought any, though.
47:23No.
47:32Did they know what you'd planned, these resistance people?
47:35They didn't trust him.
47:36None of this is relevant, though, is it?
47:39The point is, they stopped her from selling the coke.
47:41The only chemist who can make the stuff is dead,
47:43so why are they still trying to kill her?
47:45Yeah, and tries her hard, too.
47:47What is it that you know, eh?
47:50Why are you such a threat to him?
47:55You bastard!
47:56Nobody currently knows we're here!
47:58Kick down!
48:04Tactical withdrawal!
48:05Tactical or strategic.
48:06Have we got a strategy?
48:08I'm still delaying, I think.
48:09I'll delay him without reinforcements.
48:18They want them dead.
48:20They want all of them dead and quick.
48:22Maybe that's the question.
48:24Why the king hurry?
48:26I'm going to die for a meaningless cause.
48:28I want to go with a clear head.
48:37Save it!
48:38Look, we can't get out of here!
48:39Why drag it out?
48:49Then get it over with.
48:50Don't worry.
48:51We've got it this time.
48:52Hurry!
48:54Norfolk!
48:55You're under arrest!
48:57What the hell is this?
48:58What for?
49:00Treason.
49:01We've had it.
49:03No, you haven't.
49:04Kickstuff.
49:05Call them off now.
49:10Abandon action.
49:12Abandon action.
49:14They only want me.
49:16Kick down!
49:19Abandon action!
49:20You're right, baby!
49:23Leave up, they're withdrawing!
49:25Look, they're just acting under orders.
49:28We've probably got just as much idea why she had to be killed as we have.
49:38Well, at least she knew what she was fighting for.
49:41They were against her.
49:43And that's all she had to know.
49:45You're right, too.
49:54You're right, too.
