00:03The way I'm coming here has the water on my soil.

00:07How can I try it?

00:09A really hard time for me to grow.

00:12The water on my own is water.

00:17I'm so scared.

00:29I don't know how to do that.

00:38Hey, whoever you are.

06:33Susan.

06:33Hello?

07:00Susan?

07:07It's me.

07:08Hello, Henry. I'm sorry.

07:10Coffee?

07:11Yes, please, Black.

07:14You're all right. You look a bit strange.

07:17No, I'm fine.

07:32Freedom Incorporated, Henry Loughlin.

07:37Well, these things take time.

07:46Good night, Susan.

07:47Good night.

07:54It's my way of an apology.

07:56I've fixed it all night as well.

08:01Well, what can I say?

08:03Well, how about saying you'll have a drink with me?

08:06Be churnish to refuse.

08:07Good.

08:14It turned out to be a long drink.

08:17You've hardly told me anything about yourself.

08:19Yes, I have.

08:20I like good company, good food, hot sun, cold beer.

08:26This I work for the government.

08:28What's it really mean?

08:29Like I told you, I'm a civil servant.

08:31So are traffic wardens and refuse collectors?

08:33I'm in security, okay?

08:34Oh.

08:35This is the moment I'm supposed to say,

08:37how glamorous, you're a spy.

08:39And you're supposed to say,

08:41no, it's very boring, it's all paperwork.

08:43No, it's very boring, it's all paperwork.

08:45Are you happy?

08:50I really enjoyed that.

08:52Did you?

08:52Oh, good.

08:53That's a general idea, isn't it?

08:55I'll have to do it again.

08:56Yes.

08:57Do you guys a lot?

08:59So, sir.

09:00Isn't there someone at your car?

09:22Oh, yes.

09:24Yes.

09:25Yes.

09:26Yes.

09:34Bodie!

09:38Susan.

09:41Bodie!

09:47OK.

09:49What's the matter?

09:52You're shaking.

09:53I was frightened for you.

09:56What about the car?

09:58Oh, that'll be all right.

10:04Come on.

10:05Take your hand.

10:06Yes.

10:13You've gone quiet.

10:15I'm all right.

10:19I enjoyed myself tonight.

10:20It really did.

10:26That broken rear light put you to quite an expense.

10:28Oh, it's all right.

10:29Do it all the time.

10:31And what happens when the driver turns out to be an old frump?

10:34Oh, it's luck with the draw.

10:37I'd invite you in, but it's been a long day.

10:40Yeah.

10:42It's OK.

10:44I'll call you soon.

10:45Do that.

10:47Good night.

10:57Good night.

11:15Good night.

11:23Hello? Hello?

11:36Go to hell.

11:38Susan? Susan, is that you?

11:42Mummy, is that you, mummy?

11:44Yes, dear. Are you all right?

11:45Oh, I'm sorry. I dropped the receiver.

11:48How are you?

11:49You sound strange.

11:50Do I? I'm just tired, that's all.

11:52I could do with a good night's sleep.

11:54I've been calling you all evening.

11:55Been out.

11:56Evidently.

11:57Are you coming down this weekend?

11:59I don't know.

12:00Oh, do come, dear.

12:01Cook's longing to feed you up.

12:03We both think...

12:03Don't fuss, mother.

12:05I've just had an enormous meal with a charming young man.

12:08Well, that's something.

12:09I hope he's not another of these weird Chelseaites you get involved with.

12:12No, he's not. Far from it.

12:14But that's all I'm going to say about him.

12:16All right, dear.

12:17So, off to bed with you.

12:18Good night, my darling.

12:20Good night.

12:24Dinner with a charming young man.

12:26One of yours, George.

12:28Doesn't fit any description I would make, but yes, I think it was.

12:33Good.

12:34I know something's going on.

12:37Even when she was a little girl, she'd never admit to being frightened.

12:40She'd bottle it all up inside.

12:42I wonder where she inherited that from.

12:45Am I wasting your time, George?

12:47Oh, I don't think so.

12:48Still, I'm not complaining.

12:51Sitting here with her very best malt whiskey in this lovely house.

12:55That takes me back.

12:57Anthony was more at home in your company than anyone else you know.

13:00He was a fine man, Margaret.

13:02Since he died, you haven't exactly been a regular guest.

13:05I was only waiting for an invitation.

13:07Take care of Susan.

13:09She's very precious to me.

13:16Here you go.

13:20That's right.

13:21Liver sausage, this.

13:22That's right.

13:23You can't stand a liver sausage, you know that.

13:25Neither can I, mate.

13:26What did you buy it for, then?

13:27Well, it was just sitting there.

13:29Nobody was interested.

13:31Some poor old pig got a chop to provide, though.

13:37Well, has anybody shoved her out of the window yet?

13:40You don't believe her, do you?

13:41Oh, rich kid.

13:43Filling her a long day collecting for charity.

13:47Time drags.

13:49I mean, maybe she's just trying to get attention.

13:51There, looks.

13:52She doesn't need to try.

13:53What's Cowley involved for?

13:54What are we doing here?

13:55You heard what he said.

13:56Pick her up, stick with her, let me know if anyone bothers her.

13:59That's all he said.

14:00Yeah, nanny's anonymous, that's us.

14:01Yeah, well, it could be worse, couldn't it?

14:03She could be 15 a stone with a moustache.

14:09What do you suss out on associated charities?

14:11Well, that seems kosher enough.

14:13They collect for old folks' homes, orphans, famine relief, that kind of thing.

14:18Any cuckoo in a nest seems to be this organisation called Freedom Inc.

14:22Sounds like a stationer's.

14:25What is the cuckoo?

14:26Well, they're not a charity for a star.

14:29And they campaign for the release of political prisoners from jail.

14:32It's run by this guy called Henry Loughlin.

14:34You're not eating your liver sausage.

14:36Do you want to be force-fed?

14:38Well, I can't sit around here chatting all day.

14:49Oh, God bless.

14:53Good night.

14:55Good night.

14:57Good night.

15:15Come on, mate.

15:17Come on, mate.

15:303-7 to base.

15:31Give me a computer check on a blue Vauxhall.

15:34Foxtrot Yankee Hotel, 4-0-7.

15:36Victor, over.

15:37Checking, 3-7.

15:42Base to 3-7.

15:43Computer check negative on the car described.

15:45Over.

15:45Yeah, thank you.

15:53Two pounds forty-nine, please.

16:00Two pounds forty-nine, please.

16:39Don't you, don't you, don't you!

16:42Don't you, don't you, don't you!

17:44And someone you dumped won't take no for an answer?

17:47There's no one like that.

17:49Do you recognize anyone in the supermarket?

17:51Anyone get close to you?

17:53Didn't notice anyone.

17:54But then who notices people in the supermarket?

17:57Yeah, too busy checking prices, aren't you?

18:01Boo.

18:02Henry!

18:03I'm sorry.

18:04I was just passing by.

18:06Didn't know you had company.

18:07Come in.

18:08No, thank you.

18:08No.

18:10Just passing.

18:12I'll see you tomorrow at the office.

18:13All right.

18:14But you're welcome to come in and have a drink.

18:15No, really, no.

18:18I should have phoned.

18:19I'll see you tomorrow.

18:23Good night.

18:24Good night.

18:28Man listening outside the door.

18:31Oh, he wouldn't.

18:33He wouldn't do that.

18:34Who is he?

18:36Well, he works with us.

18:37Henry Loughlin.

18:38He lives across the street.

18:39Handy.

18:40An admirer of yours, is he?

18:42Come on.

18:43He's too old.

18:44They're never too old.

18:45I rang you just now.

18:46I got through to some switchboard.

18:49Who did I get through to?

18:51Oh, it's an answering service.

18:53Got hold of you pretty quickly.

18:54I just happened to phone in.

18:56Do you want me to take this back with me?

18:56I wish you would.

18:58I'm still on duty.

19:00Now, listen.

19:01You lock everything when I go.

19:04Okay?

19:04Mm-hmm.

19:04All right?

19:05Spoken like a true security man.

19:07Right.

19:07Good night.

19:08Good night.

19:17Laughlin spent four years in New Bianca.

19:19Never even got to Siberia.

19:21Four years in New Bianca?

19:22Oh, lucky they didn't throw the key away.

19:26Took part in the Hungarian uprising.

19:27Yeah, it was years ago.

19:28He formed Freedom, Inc. back in the 60s,

19:30dedicated to politicals everywhere.

19:32Big job.

19:33Yeah.

19:34Oh, he doesn't like us, by the way.

19:36Oh.

19:37It's the same, isn't it?

19:38It's written reams on the evils of the secret organisation.

19:431959, the realms of evil.

19:451963, the covert society.

19:471968, the enemy within, and so on.

19:50You're right, nutter.

19:51Yeah.

19:52What other thing is this sort of nutter, though?

19:53Watch out.

19:54Got to go.

19:55Hey, try not to lose her this time.

19:58Hey.

20:22Three-seven, the base over.

20:24Yes, I am fully aware of the pressure, Excellency.

20:29And I am dealing with it.

20:31Yes, good night.

20:42Well?

20:43This new boyfriend is turning out to be a bit of a nuisance.

20:47He's got Loughlin jumping now.

20:48Then remove him.

20:50Oh, and, um, when you do, perhaps the girl should be unfortunate enough to witness it.

20:57All right, Mr. Barr.

21:07Hello?

21:10Yes, Bodie, I'm fine.

21:13Yes, the locks are on and the chain.

21:17Go with Grimann and check.

21:19What do you mean you don't trust me?

21:22Yes, I'm fine.

21:25Thank you for worrying.

21:27Bye.

21:36Hello?

21:38Hello?

21:38Hi, you all right?

21:40Yes, Bodie, I'm fine.

21:41All locked in, safe and secure?

21:43Yes, the locks are on and the chain.

22:01There it is.

22:05Tiny, isn't it?

22:06Magic.

22:10Oh, what about the voice?

22:12The voice calling my name.

22:14One thing at a time, Sue.

22:15Oh.

22:18Don't think I can take much more of this.

22:21I mean, why?

22:23Who is it?

22:24I mean, why me?

22:25What have I done?

22:27Calm down.

22:28Come on, let's have a drink.

22:29Oh.

22:48You have a brother, don't you?

22:50Fair hair guy.

22:51Neville?

22:52I don't know about him.

22:54I asked around.

22:55What's his problem?

22:57He owes money.

22:58A lot?

22:59Hmm.

23:00To some rather heavy people.

23:02He wants you to help him out.

23:03Yes.

23:04Why do you know that?

23:05And you're not going to?

23:06Not anymore.

23:07Don't do we have to talk about my wretched brother?

23:09Oh, my God, the lights.

23:11Okay.

23:11Bodie, do you think...

23:12No, don't panic.

23:14Bodie, do you think it says...

23:15Shh.

23:16Where's the fuse box?

23:17In the hall, cupboard on the right-hand side.

23:27Miracle of modern science.

23:32Here, you try and get some sleep.

23:33What?

24:02Miracle of urban science.

24:49Susan.

24:52What is it?

24:53No one. They moved out.

24:59Where are you going?

25:00Shh. Stay there.

25:06You're welcome.

25:24You're welcome.

25:26You're welcome.

25:27You're welcome.

25:28You're welcome.

26:04You're welcome.

26:33You're welcome.

26:36You're welcome.

26:53Roger. Over and out.

27:02There's nothing on him. We'll see what the doc comes up with.

27:04So much for the cry wolf theory.

27:06Wolf, ho, waltz.

27:09To let us go. Just like that. I mean, you knew one of them, didn't you?

27:13What do you want them to do? Arrest me or something?

27:15Your gun. They never even asked you about your gun.

27:17I just overlooked it. I just overlooked it. I just overlooked it. That day you bumped into my car. You

27:20did it on purpose. I'm an assignment. You've been assigned to take care of me. You're very worthwhile. What do

27:28you know about that man? Who was he?

27:29You're not there? I'll find out. Just get in the car. Now I remember where I've seen, you know, the

27:34good-looking one. Mr. Doyle. Good-looking. In your car. Right, get in the car. Yes, he was. He was.

27:38Have I got to prize you in or what? You can't prize someone in. You can only prize something up

27:43or out or off.

27:44Good-looking. Lateral scar mark on right upper thigh. Vaccination mark on right leg. Could it be South or Central

27:53American? That's common, though. Could be. But the blood group, skin pigmentation, everything suggests British parentage. Frankly. Could be an

28:01Eskimo, right? Oh, well, maybe his fingerprints will show. Your best chance. Thanks, Doc.

28:07Come on. All right. I've heard of dropping in for dinner, but breakfast. This is a nice surprise. Always saying

28:16I don't come over enough. And you don't bring your friends. Oh, perhaps she's turned over a new leaf, Mr.

28:21Grant. You brighten my weekend. Now tell me, Mr. Bodie, what do you do? Um, well, sort of security, really.

28:29How interesting. What is it you secure? You, for one. Me? Yes, I work for the government.

28:34Hmm. Can't say any government's ever made me feel secure. When Susan's father died, he left a great deal of

28:41money. What the government gave me, after death duties, estate duties, Lord knows what duties, was hardly enough to feed

28:47the cat.

28:48Mother, you're shameless. You're rolling in it. Are you a gold digger, Mr. Bodie? Oh, but of course, Mrs. Grant.

28:56I like him, Susan. Well, that's something.

29:01Edward James Smith. He's got one arrest, way back. Released through lack of evidence. Ultra-right-wing. He's got affiliations

29:12in Europe, South America. Suspected hitman.

29:16It's a pity he died too soon, really, isn't he? Bodie wouldn't have shot to kill if he'd had a

29:21choice. Yeah, now they know he's CI-5. Or that he became too much of a damn nuisance.

29:25Yes, he can get in people's hair, can't he?

29:29You're welcome.

29:30...

29:45...

29:47...

30:00Special delivery for Mr. Loughlin.

30:02Flat 17, third floor.

30:27And there you are, Nestle again.

30:29What's her name?

30:31Red and Matilda.

30:39Well, you made a hit with Mother.

30:41If you want to win the girl, win the mother.

30:43Do you want to win the girl?

30:45No, it'd be too easy.

30:47Thanks a lot.

30:48Well, according to your mother, there's no opposition.

30:50All chinless milksops, aren't they?

30:52She hasn't met them all.

30:55Oh, God.

30:59Hello, Neville.

31:01Who's this?

31:02Her name's Brody.

31:03Is his mother in the house?

31:04Yes.

37:50We act for him in certain matters.

37:52Yeah, he spoke to him on the phone about an hour ago.

37:54Phone tapping.

37:55Now, just a minute, Mr.

37:57Doyle.

37:57And the regulations weren't infringed.

38:00We believe your client's implicated in a very serious crime.

38:10Grab up, Miller.

38:27Cyanide.

38:28Injected into the back of the neck.

38:30Neat.

38:30Yes, neat.

38:31Cyanide.

38:32The girl back at work?

38:33Yeah, I'm body on the spot.

38:35I think it's becoming a labour of love.

38:38Well, I hope it doesn't lapse into rivalry.

38:41All my political life, I've fought against the invisible governments,

38:44the faceless wielders of power.

38:46And now you've set them on me.

38:48I've done nothing of the kind.

38:50George Cowley was a friend of Anthony's.

38:52When I sensed that Susan was in danger, I asked him to look into it.

38:55That man's big brother.

38:57A grey-suited spook.

38:59Answerable to God knows who.

39:01He's protecting Susan, and that's my first concern.

39:04It should have been yours.

39:08I know why she's being harassed.

39:12And I put an end to it.

39:15God help me.

39:42Mr. Bauer?

39:43Yes?

39:44My name's Mason.

39:45I'm a solicitor.

39:46I represent Mr. Henry Loughlin.

39:47I know.

39:48He's instructed me to hand this over to you.

40:07Bauer?

40:31Four, five, three, seven, over.

40:33Three, seven?

40:34No, I lost Bauer.

40:35I've got the tape safe, though.

40:37I've put out a red eye.

40:37Over.

40:38All right, understood.

40:45Hello.

40:46They're speaking.

40:49That's not true.

40:50I did everything to the letter.

40:53No, wait.

40:54Listen to me.

41:07you said.

41:24Good night, Sue.

41:25Good night, Joan.

41:26See you tomorrow.

41:27Good night, Sue.

41:28Good night.

41:48Susan Grant, Famine Relief.

41:50Yes, I am.

41:53Oh, you wish to make a donation?

41:57How much are you thinking of giving?

42:00I say that's very generous.

42:02Well, let us say it is a matter of conscience.

42:05Perhaps you could give me some idea how my money will be spent.

42:08Of course.

42:08Our main function is to raise money for food and supplies

42:12for the undernourished parts of the world.

42:14We see every stage through ourselves.

42:16We leave nothing to chance.

42:19We have people that work in all the countries that we aid.

42:22They supervise the disbursement of the funds

42:24and the distribution of the supplies.

42:26Do you have any questions, though?

42:28Hello?

42:30Are you still there, sir?

42:31Hello?

42:32No!

42:33No!

42:36Ah!

42:43No!

42:44No!

42:47No!

42:47Oh, my God.

43:17Or she goes over.

43:19Drop the gun.

43:21Drop this.

43:26Now, bring your car to the bottom of the stairs.

43:30Move!

43:43Race up.

43:47Listen, I've got trouble.

43:48Give me Alpha and 4-5, but tell them to maintain radio silence.

43:52Maintain radio silence. Over.

44:17Right, where are we going?

44:19Just drive.

44:19Yeah, I know, but do we turn left or right?

44:22Turn left and drive south over the bridge.

44:23South over the bridge. Right, you're the boss.

44:26That's right.

44:37Turn right at the roundabout.

44:39Got that, 4-5?

44:40Yep, 8-24.

44:42Keep going for three miles.

44:48Where are we going through, Woodley?

44:49You'll be told, just keep going.

44:51Oh, beautiful. Just keep on going.

44:57What are you wanting for?

44:59Shut up.

45:00Well, first you try and scare her. Now you're looking to...

45:04Very smart.

45:06Enough to get you killed. That's how smart.

45:09Nice try, but he talked too much.

45:12Where else is he going?

45:14Go right around this roundabout and then make a left.

45:23Sir, we're getting his tracker signal now.

45:28Could be the instrument, apparently.

45:31Maybe.

45:32A definite maybe.

45:34Go for it.

45:35The Mets are alerting all mobile patrols.

45:38But Bauer's obviously armed, and he's got the girl.

45:41Next left and then first right.

45:43Oh, the full mystery tour, eh?

45:44For you, perhaps.

46:08Right.

46:08Give him the keys.

46:12Now, out.

46:20Now, start walking up the runway with your hands up.

46:23Any tricks, and she's dead.

46:27Come on.

46:29Come on.

46:33Come on.

46:35Come on.

46:47Come on.

47:10Get behind the car!

47:44Hey James, what do you think, looking for a car case?

47:59Henry Loughlin is an idealist and a brave man.

48:03His commitment to freedom of political thought is absolute.

48:07When he alone was at risk, he was unshakable.

48:11He was determined to release this evidence of torture used on political prisoners in Central America.

48:18But the government of that country sought to prevent him.

48:21And they found a way.

48:24By threatening the safety of his daughter.

48:28You, Susan.

48:31He's not my father.

48:33My parents were killed.

48:35Your mother was killed when you were a little girl.

48:38Your father was imprisoned.

48:40During that time, your adoption was arranged.

48:43When your father was released, it was felt that your happiness was secure and shouldn't be disturbed.

48:55Would you like to return this to him now?

49:22This young man's been advising me about my roses, George.

49:24Really?

49:25No one got great fingers, did he?

49:29Yeah, you see?

49:30What's the problem?

49:33The problem?

49:34I don't see.

49:36Oh-oh.

49:58Oh-oh.
