00:28Satsang with Mooji
00:30Don't you die, don't you?
00:57Oh, what?
00:58Who is that?
01:01Who is it?
01:02Who is it?
01:30Ahmed!
03:00But we have no proof.
03:02You need proof to expel him from the country.
03:03We need something.
03:05Otherwise, the official view is,
03:07why disturb the current savoir-faire between his country and ours?
03:09He'll go on killing, executing enemies of the state, as he would put it.
03:13Special branch are watching him, and presumably...
03:17Yes?
03:19Excuse me, Sir John.
03:20I'm Mr Rahard to see you.
03:21I know he doesn't have an appointment, but he insists he must see you.
03:25He says it's very urgent.
03:26Show him in.
03:28Come to give himself up, do you think?
03:30Mr Rahard, sir.
03:32Ah, Sir John, I am sorry I had to insist on seeing you.
03:36It is a matter of the greatest urgency.
03:38I see.
03:39This is Mr Cowley.
03:41Mr Rahard.
03:42Mr Cowley.
03:44I had heard of you.
03:45You are much smaller than I imagined.
03:49So was Henry VIII.
03:52Well, I'll leave you to it.
03:54No, no.
03:55Please, please stay, Mr Cowley.
03:57This may concern you.
04:00I have to register the strongest complaint.
04:02How about what?
04:03The fact that I am being followed.
04:05Oh, no, no, no.
04:07Please don't bother to deny it, Sir John.
04:09I do know about these things.
04:11As cultural attache.
04:14Much smaller.
04:17You will, of course, take all steps to rectify this situation.
04:21We shall regard this as an informal complaint.
04:25Hopefully, there will be no need to register a formal one.
04:29Thank you for your time, Sir John.
04:34Mr Cowley.
04:39The gall of the bloody man.
04:42Oh, I don't know.
04:43He's got some merit.
04:44He's got you out of your pram at last.
04:47We've got to do something about him.
04:50You've got to do something.
04:51I have been thinking about that.
04:55But I may have to borrow your daughter.
05:02Look, we've got to make this look good, right?
05:04I told you, I'm unofficially engaged.
05:08It's just like acting a part.
05:10That's all I'm asking of you.
05:11I'm not an actress.
05:15I don't know what difference it makes, anyway.
05:17I'm married.
05:19It's my job.
05:23Mr Hart.
05:25Good evening.
05:28You called Mr Hollis?
05:31Yeah.
05:36He told me to keep my eyes peeled for a new mug.
05:41Well, you found one?
05:42I don't know yet.
05:44Been in here three nights in a row.
05:46Win some, loses some.
05:48He talks big.
06:02Just remember that with age comes experience.
06:06That's him.
06:08Now, he looks worth cultivating.
06:11Okay.
06:13Stay with him, Nero.
06:14And when he's ready for harvesting?
06:22Can't stay away, eh?
06:23Feel lucky tonight, Nero.
06:25The boy's waiting in the back room.
06:44Please constable Fisk.
06:46I'll read oil.
06:47Aye.
06:47Hello.
06:48And this is Harry Taylor.
06:51You want him neck, eh?
06:52Yeah.
06:53Instruction?
06:54Loitering?
06:55Breathing too hard in a public place?
06:56This.
06:59You win some, you lose some.
07:00Yep.
07:01And you just lost some.
07:02I'll be back.
07:04Anytime.
07:06I can fix you up with a game anytime.
07:08Good.
07:10Good.
07:12At least I don't have to walk home.
07:14Was it successful?
07:15Did you get what you wanted in there?
07:17Oh, in there, yeah.
07:19How come you've, uh, changed?
07:22I, uh, uh, spilt some wine.
07:28Take the long way home, will you, Jigs?
08:07What have we got here, then?
08:09Tools.
08:09And if that has been.
08:11Oh, yes.
08:11I just found a bag over there.
08:12All right.
08:13Hands against the wall.
08:15Turn around.
08:16Come on, you're not taking me this.
08:19Come on, run.
08:20This way.
08:28How are you?
08:30I don't know to see the filth knocking people about.
08:34Besides, they were my tools.
08:37My HQ.
08:46Political.
08:47Political.
08:48For a bloke like you, therapeutic.
08:49Drink?
08:49Yeah.
08:51Chance to bash up the fuzz every so often and all in a good cause.
08:59I'm being serious.
09:01We could always do with a bit of extra muscle.
09:03I'll think about it.
09:05I could join you up right now for a fiver a year.
09:09Something else we could always do with.
09:11Money.
09:22Will I see you again?
09:24Will I see you again?
09:25Possibly.
09:27I'll call you.
09:29I'll see.
09:33I'll see you again.
09:37I'll see you again.
09:38I'll see you again.
09:47I'm doing it.
09:57It's great.
10:26Hello, darling.
10:27You want a good time?
10:29Blondes, tall, leggy blondes, that's his forte.
10:32If you can call it a forte.
10:34He has two or three a week, by all accounts.
10:36Must be all that rice and sheep's eyeballs.
10:39He won't get any feedback, she won't...
10:41No, no, she got the message.
10:44Any time you want to return, Matz, just let me know.
10:51Why don't you escape, please?
10:54Told you!
10:55Told you you should have stayed at home.
10:57Want a drink?
10:58Tonic.
11:05I want into a bigger game, Nero. Soon.
11:08Soon as you can raise another stick.
11:10I can get it.
11:11Yeah?
11:14Well...
11:14There is a game in town.
11:16Big game.
11:17Regular.
11:18But to get in, you gotta be something near an astronaut.
11:21No limit, eh?
11:23No limit.
11:25Sounds good.
11:27Hold on.
11:27I just heard of that game.
11:28I'm not saying I can get you in.
11:31Out of your class, eh?
11:32Not exactly.
11:34I got connections.
11:36Start connecting.
11:37Listen.
11:38You don't get a chair in that game unless you got two grand up front.
11:41It's no problem.
11:43Yeah?
11:44I told you I can get it.
11:45Must have heard that a hundred times.
11:47I told you I can get it.
11:49You ever heard of Sir John Taringham?
11:51Yeah, yeah.
11:52Very top drawer.
11:54So what's he to you?
11:55His daughter's begging to marry me.
11:57Is she the one with the roller?
11:59Dropped you in here the other night?
12:00That's right.
12:01Don't miss a trick, dear.
12:02So it's obvious I've got connections.
12:05Question is of you.
12:07Where can I reach you?
12:10Look.
12:11This isn't something you set up just like that.
12:14I'll have to ask around.
12:16Then I'll get in touch.
12:21Oh, no.
12:23Oh, no.
12:24Listen.
12:25I've got a loose spelling on this side, right?
12:27Yeah, well, I use it live.
12:28Give you a nice little left hook.
12:30You won't feel a thing.
12:32You think he can raise the ante?
12:34I don't know, sir.
12:35He's a bit of a mystery.
12:37But he moves in the right circles.
12:39He's going out with the Taringham girl.
12:41Claire Taringham.
12:43Nice connection, that.
12:44Her father's a big whale in the Foreign Office.
12:47And very rich.
12:48Well, his ass must be worth ripping off.
12:50And if this Bodie?
12:53If he could be our man on the inside.
12:55We'll check him out.
12:56Eh?
12:57Oh, come on, Mr Hollis.
12:59You heard Nero.
13:00He's running around with the daughter.
13:04Hart.
13:06How many times have you been inside?
13:09Five.
13:10And how many times have I?
13:13That's because I'm always careful.
13:15Never rush in.
13:16Always check.
13:17And that's what you're going to do.
13:19Check out this Bodie.
13:20All right, let's go in.
13:23I don't know.
13:33Oh, man.
13:42Yeah, we're all right.
13:43I'm always careful.
13:43I don't know.
13:43Oh, man.
13:44Yeah, we're all right.
13:44Oh, my God.
13:45Oh, my God.
13:45And I'm here, sir.
13:46And I'm here.
13:46Oh, my God.
13:50And I can't wait.
13:51Mine, I'll have to put it down to experience.
13:54Well, is someone biting?
13:55He's not bad. He's using me as a cover.
13:59I better split. I'll see you back at Terringham's place.
14:02Okay.
14:48I'll see you later.
14:54I'll see you later.
14:56What's that, sir?
14:57Uh, is this Terringham's about, please?
15:00No, sir.
15:01Okay.
15:09This is not your kind. This is out of your class.
15:12Oh, yeah?
15:12Yeah.
15:14Terringham's daughter, you must be crazy.
15:17You're gambling all your money away, that's a right mug's game, isn't it?
15:20Yeah, well, you just mind your own business, okay?
15:21We used to be much...
15:28Shit, that thing with her left.
15:59Yeah?
16:00All right, where is he?
16:01Where's who?
16:02That mate of yours, Bodie.
16:04What are you on with Bodie?
16:06What he owes me?
16:08A lot of money.
16:10Oh, no, not another one.
16:12Come in.
16:17Straight through.
16:22So why come here?
16:24Heard you was a friend of his.
16:26A friend?
16:26No, I just worked with him, that's all.
16:28Why?
16:29We worked together, eh?
16:30Yeah.
16:31So he's not here, then?
16:32No.
16:33Lot of money, was it?
16:35He dropped it in a card game the other night.
16:39He's got the brains of a rocking horse.
16:41Well, he promised to pay me.
16:42I'm going to see it my way.
16:43I'm not made of money.
16:45He let me down.
16:47He let you down?
16:48Hang on a minute.
17:03You want a cuppa?
17:05No, thanks.
17:06No.
17:10So you work together, eh?
17:11You and Bodie?
17:12Yeah.
17:13Well, so none of business.
17:14Yeah.
17:16Listen, just give him a few days, eh?
17:18I'll lean on him.
17:19You might get your money back.
17:22All right.
17:23All right.
17:24You persuaded me.
17:25Good.
17:26Just tell him, um...
17:28Well, tell him he's got a few more days.
17:29See you.
17:55He's in over his head, hocking his stuff to stay in there.
17:58But he's only got one way to go.
18:01And that's down.
18:03His salary isn't up to it, you see.
18:05So?
18:07Now, uh...
18:08I don't know what they're playing CI5 men these days.
18:11What?
18:12That's it, Mr Hollis.
18:14You've got yourself an inside man, all right?
18:18Inside CI5.
18:30Oh, George.
18:31Long time no see.
18:32Get in the car.
18:33Oh, no.
18:33Look, don't bust me now.
18:34Get in the car, George.
18:37Shit.
18:39Say nothing, you.
18:40Nothing.
18:41Don't bust me today.
18:43This is the best John ever.
18:44And he's into unspoiled virgins.
18:46Now, look for you.
18:47Shut up, you!
18:48Look, that's all right.
18:49I'll tell you what.
18:49Why don't you bust me tomorrow, eh?
18:51Tomorrow I'll even come in and surrender, eh?
18:52Anything.
18:53But don't bust me today.
18:54I'm not gonna bust you, George.
18:56You're not?
18:56No.
18:57I just want a girl, that's all.
18:59Do what?
18:59Yeah.
19:00Somebody with class, you know?
19:01When I do.
19:02You said class, stupid.
19:04Oh, well, look.
19:05I haven't got any class.
19:06You want the lady.
19:07She runs the classiest string of women in town.
19:09I'll get her to send you one over.
19:11What's the address?
19:11Got it.
19:14Oh, right.
19:17What time?
19:17Eight o'clock.
19:18Uh, she's gotta be tall, blonde, and long legs, you know.
19:22It's done.
19:23I've had a word with a man, and you're in.
19:25The big one?
19:26Yeah.
19:27If you can raise the ante.
19:28I'll raise it.
19:29When and where?
19:30I'll let you know.
19:34They said it would happen fast.
19:35The standard procedure.
19:37They want to get their hooks in your money before someone else does.
19:40Well, Alawina, I've got to see a man about a girl.
19:49Mr. Doyle.
19:50You're not.
19:51We don't stand under lamp posts anymore, swinging our purses.
19:55Uh, do you want me to come in?
19:57Or have you got something in mind out here in the hallway?
20:00Sorry, sorry.
20:01Come on.
20:02The ladies, Sammy.
20:04You can call me...
20:05Anna.
20:05Yes, if you like.
20:10Well, you did specify someone classy.
20:12If I don't measure up, some of our more exclusive girls' schools have got an awful lot to answer for.
20:17You're shocked.
20:18But I understand you're in a very tough line of business.
20:21But you are shocked.
20:23It's very refreshing.
20:25Or, um, perhaps you're disappointed.
20:28No.
20:29No, no, no.
20:29No way.
20:30Do you want a drink?
20:31Mmm, that would be lovely.
20:33A very Bloody Mary, if you don't mind.
20:35Right.
20:36Do you ride?
20:37Mmm.
20:38Very well, as a matter of fact.
20:41Um, do you mean horses?
20:44Yeah, I do mean horses.
20:48Parlez-vous Francais?
20:49Oh, parfaitement.
20:51Uh, do you mean...
20:52Yeah, yeah.
20:53Do you mean the language?
20:56It's fantastic.
20:58You could be a debutante, you know.
20:59Yes, well, I was, as a matter of fact.
21:02It's a question of degree.
21:05I used to do it for a dinner and a disco.
21:07I nearly did it for an olden.
21:09Now I just do it for money.
21:11Cheers.
21:12Cheers.
21:14Do you want to sit here and talk for a while?
21:16Or would you rather we took our drinks through to the bedroom?
21:19Ah.
21:21Now we come to the funny bit.
21:24Well, no.
21:25I'm not terribly kinky.
21:28It's a straightforward job and you'll be very well paid.
21:32What did you have in mind?
21:33I wanted you to do a favour for a very good friend of mine.
21:59Good morning.
22:00Good morning.
22:01Oh, steady.
22:02Steady.
22:03Oh, damn, Jake.
22:04What's up?
22:04Well, yes.
22:10Hello.
22:11Quite a lively amount.
22:13Yes, not getting enough exercise.
22:19It's a beautiful day.
22:20Yeah, it's glorious.
22:22Yes.
22:22Might I offer you a drink when we get back to the block.
22:25What a nice idea.
22:30You know-
22:31However, we Arabs believe in fate.
22:39It is an integral part of our faith.
22:45You and I, meeting as we did, it was met.
22:50Planned by a higher authority.
22:54I think I agree with you.
22:58You will bring me luck. I'm sure of it.
23:05I'm sure of it.
23:08I think I shall be lucky tonight.
23:25Yeah, you had it right, Nero. It's way out your class, mate.
23:28More than you think.
23:30This is as far as I go.
23:32Come on, Nero. You're my lucky charm.
23:34They don't allow colours in the game.
23:36There's a law against that, you know.
23:38Up here, it's their law.
23:41And I'd say they had it stacked, wouldn't you?
23:44Good evening, gentlemen.
23:45Good evening.
23:47You do well now. You show up.
23:50Yeah, thanks, Nero.
23:54This way, Mr. Bodie.
23:55Mr. Bodie.
23:59I hope we're able to offer you some sport tonight.
24:01All right.
24:02Would you like a drink?
24:03Uh, whiskey, please.
24:04Ice.
24:05No, thank you.
24:07These are the gentlemen you'll be playing with tonight.
24:10Uh, till your luck runs out.
24:13An American friend.
24:14Al, that's all the name you need.
24:16Glad to meet you.
24:17Yes, and here, sir.
24:18Mr. Gregory.
24:19How do you do?
24:20Your drink, Mr. Bodie.
24:23All right. Thank you.
24:25Tina serves only drinks.
24:29Right.
24:30Where do we start, then?
24:32As soon as we're all here.
24:33Ah.
24:37Gentlemen.
24:38Mr. Rahad.
24:39Al.
24:41How do?
24:41Mr. Gregory.
24:43Mr. Bodie.
24:46Where do you?
24:50Oh.
24:51Miles, don't get to it.
24:52My sentiments exactly, sir.
24:53I'm sorry if I have delayed proceedings.
24:56All right.
24:57Now, a couple of you are new here.
24:58I'd just like to point out that Mr. Lucho here stays to ensure fair play.
25:03House rules are very simple.
25:05Any problems, I have the final say.
25:09The house takes 10% of every pot.
25:12Good luck, gentlemen.
25:17Didn't expect to see you here.
25:19Ah, we have met before?
25:20No, it's just someone telling me colours weren't allowed in.
25:24We have the oil, Mr. Brodie.
25:27That makes us pure wine.
25:30Bodie.
25:32Name's Bodie.
25:34I shall remember it.
25:36Don't you come to think of it, I didn't know you Arabs played poker either.
25:39No, that's right, Mr. Bodie.
25:42Nor do we drink alcohol.
26:15You were surprised that we play poker, Mr. Bodie.
26:18You must be astonished that we are good at it too.
26:23Tell Gregory to make his play, lead him along, and then we'll fix him.
26:52I bet $500.
26:54Go on Gregory, give it to him.
26:56I'll go along, and raise $400.
27:03I'll stay then.
27:06Too rich for my blood.
27:11Mr Gregory, I think I'll stay for a while, another $400.
27:23I think I must raise again, $1,500.
27:29That's me then.
27:30Mr Bodie?
27:32Oh, you seem to have been doing all the raising, Mr Gregory. I don't think that's quite democratic to you.
27:37I think I'll stay, and raise a further $2,000.
27:43I'll stay along, and raise $2,000.
27:48$3,000.
27:51Take my marker.
27:53How much?
27:54Stay and raise.
27:56Well, looks like we're gonna get a gain.
27:58Have you got that kind of money, Mr Bodie?
28:00Yes, I can get it.
28:02Very well, we will accept your marker.
28:08You're covered.
28:09Good.
28:11I'm afraid it's gonna cost you, Mr Gregory, to see me.
28:13No, but I don't want to see you, Mr Bodie.
28:16Not yet.
28:19I'll stay.
28:22And raise...
28:23$2,000.
28:27Okay.
28:32Okay.
28:36Afraid I'm gonna have to see you now.
28:38Very well.
28:41Two pairs.
28:44Matching aces.
28:51Now you dealt that.
28:52Mr Bodie.
28:55Mr Hollis will want to see you.
28:56Mr Hollis will want to see you.
28:57To arrange for payment of your marker.
29:04Mighty pretty little hand you had there, feller.
29:07You mean so?
29:08Your deal.
29:10Gentlemen.
29:16You're into me for a lot of money.
29:18You should get Gregory in here too.
29:20Meaning?
29:20I was set up.
29:22I mean, it's classic.
29:23The guy's a mechanic.
29:25You're not suggesting we run a crooked game here.
29:27Yeah.
29:30No.
29:31You wouldn't do a crazy thing like that.
29:34Gonna take you a long time to pay this off, Mr Bodie.
29:37Plus our normal 25% interest.
29:39A long time.
29:40Like forever.
29:45But I like you, Bodie.
29:46I'm gonna give you a break.
29:47Give you a chance to pay all this off.
29:51Information.
29:51Oh, yeah. What can I tell you?
29:53Well, you must hear things.
29:55Round CI5.
30:08Yes?
30:11I'm not sure what you are.
30:15Dull.
30:16Diplomatic business, but confidential just the same.
30:23Why don't you wait in the bedroom?
30:39Forgive me.
30:41Don't keep me waiting too long.
30:52How is it?
31:02Hello.
31:03Hello.
31:04Chucked me out at 5.30 this morning.
31:06Rushed off somewhere.
31:10That's some coffee.
31:11Mmm.
31:11That'd be lovely.
31:15Milk and sugar.
31:16Mmm.
31:17Look, I know this isn't what you're paying me for, but from what you told me about him,
31:21he's a mean man.
31:23He had a visitor last night.
31:25A colonel someone.
31:27Uh, Kaffi.
31:28Kaffir.
31:29That's it.
31:30Kaffir.
31:31I only heard through the bedroom door and they were speaking Arabic.
31:34But I understood a little bit of it.
31:37You pick these things up in my profession.
31:40Especially these days.
31:41A couple of years ago, it was Japanese.
31:43What did they say?
31:45Something about this morning.
31:47That's another phrase you pick up quickly too.
31:50Morning.
31:51Night.
31:52Bathroom.
31:52Yeah.
31:53What else?
31:54A name.
31:55Farsid.
31:58Farsid.
31:59Farsid.
32:00Ex-minister in exile.
32:01Well.
32:03You think it will be a hit?
32:05Well, he's not the most obvious target.
32:08But with Rahad and his crew, you never know.
32:12Look at that guy of ours over there.
32:14You almost see his gun from here.
32:16Well, if we can see, it may put others off.
32:18That's not the point though, is it?
32:21Come on.
32:22I know what you're thinking.
32:23You want it to be a hit.
32:25It'd be a damn sight easier all round if we could cut Rahad down in the act.
32:30Well, Trasko and his mob should have the flats covered by now, so it won't be a long shot.
32:34That's not Rahad's style.
32:36Close quarters.
32:37A sure shot at point-blank range.
32:39And thank God this time we're ahead of the game.
32:43Hunter and his mob will have him covered the rest of the park.
32:45We'll see him safely home.
32:48Head him off at the pass.
33:02Actually, it'd be nice if Rahad did make his move now.
33:05Us here, Hunter boxing him in, save us a lot of trouble.
33:10My due, makes this clever caper a bit of a waste of time, doesn't it?
33:14No way is nailing Rahad a waste of time.
33:17His continued existence is a waste of life.
33:23Ah, well, we're out of luck. False alarm.
33:25Yeah, sorry, sir.
33:27Oh, no, no, it was possible, though.
33:29Yeah.
33:32What about inside the house?
33:33Clean.
33:34Two men in there standing by.
33:36We'll keep him under 24-hour watch.
33:46Paper!
33:55We'll be made out of, please.
34:03Calm.
34:23These videos, with hands,
34:24Don't hurt, there's nothing missing here.
34:25How extraordinary.
34:26It's all right. Car thieves are everywhere these days.
34:29No, I'm sure I know that man.
34:31Yes, he was at one of mummy's parties. I'm sure he was him.
34:34Who was he?
34:35Well, I don't remember his name, but I certainly remember what he was.
34:40A CI5 man.
34:42You see my problem, Mr Hollis.
34:44Our intelligence service monitors MI5 and special branch,
34:48but CI5, that is a more difficult nut altogether.
34:57Mr Rahad, you did the right thing contacting me.
35:00I got onto it right away.
35:01It's taken me a lot of time, trouble and money,
35:04but you came to the right man. I can deliver.
35:06You can get the information.
35:08I need to know what CI5 are up to.
35:11I can do better than that.
35:12I have a marker belonging to a CI5 operative.
35:15CI5. Just think, Mr Rahad, your very own man inside CI5.
35:21That should be worth the 40,000, wouldn't you say?
35:2440,000.
35:26Oh, come on. I know how you people operate.
35:29There must be a slush fund available,
35:31and nobody is going to start asking awkward questions
35:34if you can deliver a pipeline right into CI5.
35:38Might even make you a general.
35:41What do you say?
35:44Very well.
35:45I thought we could do business.
35:57And there's your man.
36:04You.
36:06Yeah. What's going on?
36:09You are a negotiable asset, Mr Bodie.
36:13And I have just sold you.
36:15You belong to Mr Rahad now.
36:23Now, use the slave's entrance, will you?
36:26Mind your chains on my rug.
36:28Fine.
36:32Well, what's all this, then?
36:34Oh, I can see I drew the long straw.
36:36It's all right, then.
36:38How's the oldest profession in the world going?
36:40Okay.
36:42Whose idea was this, a new one?
36:44It was yours.
36:45No, it wasn't. It was yours.
36:47It was yours.
36:47It was yours.
36:49Must have been Cowley's, then.
36:50Oh, it might work, then.
37:05Do you mind, my dear?
37:13Here.
37:14It is too public.
37:15We are seen together.
37:17Oh, you're as clean as a nun's mind.
37:20That is a matter for conjecture.
37:23Be with you in a moment, my dear.
37:26All surveillance has been pulled off you
37:28to avoid a diplomatic incident.
37:30Ah, that is good news.
37:32You ready for the bad?
37:33You're on record somewhere
37:35exploiting the virtues of Muslim womanhood.
37:39Yes, at the same time, knocking our Western sister.
37:42Yes.
37:43Well, speaking of knocking...
37:46When in Rome, or in London,
37:49we all do it.
37:51Nothing filters back home.
37:53Our press sees to that.
37:55Once minor indiscretions are expected,
37:57tolerated, necessary,
37:59and remain anonymous.
38:01Anonymous.
38:02Quite a key word, that.
38:04You haven't introduced me to your lady for.
38:06Anna Jones, why?
38:07He actually told you who she was.
38:09Anna Jones.
38:10Daughter of Dame Sarah Jones.
38:12Head of Women's Live for Muslim Women
38:14in our time movements,
38:15and you're shacking up with their daughter.
38:17Even the free press won't be able to put a stop
38:19to that one when it gets out.
38:21What are you telling me?
38:22We're onto it.
38:24CI5 are onto it,
38:25and they're going to exploit it.
38:27When?
38:28I don't know.
38:29Do you know how?
38:31No, but I can find out
38:33for my marker back.
38:38Half your marker.
38:41OK.
38:42Why did you drop by?
38:44Come on.
38:45You're not fooling me.
38:46There's a reason.
38:48Yeah, right.
38:51The end justifies the means.
38:53That's your philosophy, isn't it?
38:54What are you driving at?
38:56Money.
38:58Could use some of that, couldn't you?
39:00Eh?
39:01And, providing it went to the right course,
39:02you'd do, well, almost anything to get it, right?
39:05Maybe.
39:06I can put something your way.
39:08What would we have to do?
39:10Well, no details here.
39:11I'm just sounding out your, uh, ideals.
39:14Interest.
39:16I'm interested.
39:18Yeah, I thought you would be.
39:19I'll be in touch.
39:23Well, it looks bad.
39:26Be nicely done, though.
39:27Nice and subtle.
39:29How?
39:31Day after tomorrow,
39:32there'll be a demonstration outside the embassy.
39:35Anna Jones will be there.
39:37Just her and a few of her mother's friends.
39:39Nice, quiet demo.
39:41No one will get hurt.
39:43Police will intervene.
39:45But that evening,
39:46she'll be interviewed on television.
39:48Peak viewing hour.
39:50That's when she's going to break the good news.
39:53What do you mean?
39:55She will...
39:56Yes.
39:56...admit.
39:57She will say that she and I...
39:59That's right.
40:02She will destroy herself.
40:04She must hate you a lot, Rahad.
40:07Whatever you stand for.
40:08She must not be allowed to talk.
40:11I will make arrangements.
40:11Now you'll fall right into the trap.
40:14We've got affidavits,
40:16testimony,
40:17evidence.
40:18She disappears.
40:20She's assassinated.
40:21You might as well sign a full confession now, mate.
40:26Now, I mean,
40:27you might get lucky
40:28if the demonstration was violent,
40:29but there's too many cops.
40:31No chance.
40:33No, no.
40:34That is the answer.
40:36These...
40:37These demonstrations,
40:38they can get violent.
40:38Not outside embassies,
40:40they don't.
40:41Particularly yours.
40:41You lift a finger,
40:42you're in the meat wagon.
40:43Your feet don't touch the ground.
40:44Nevertheless,
40:45it could happen.
40:46This, um...
40:47This demonstration
40:48is to be on TV.
40:49I imagine so.
40:51They love propaganda that lot.
40:52Right, right.
40:53That's the answer.
40:55A concerted rush
40:56by European faces,
40:58by, uh...
40:58by Westerners.
40:59The police rush in
41:01to break it up,
41:01but unfortunately,
41:03crushed underfoot.
41:05Miss Anna Jones.
41:06A terrible accident,
41:07but of course,
41:08these things do happen.
41:10Yes.
41:10And then nobody,
41:11you see,
41:11will be able to point
41:12the finger at me.
41:16It could work,
41:17but it'd take
41:17too much organization.
41:18You need at least
41:19a dozen heavy lads.
41:20They're hard boys
41:21to do the job.
41:23Where are you gonna find them?
41:24You will find them.
41:26You must know
41:26all the hard boys
41:28in London.
41:30It's murder, you know.
41:32Whichever way you make it look,
41:34it's still murder.
41:36Of course,
41:37I will agree
41:38to meet all necessary
41:40expenses.
41:42And I do still
41:43hold your marker.
41:46You wipe the slate clean.
41:48The whole lot.
41:50Yeah.
41:52And then we'd both
41:53be off the hook,
41:54Mr. Bordy.
41:59It's a lot of money.
42:00Of course it is.
42:00I said it'd help,
42:01didn't I?
42:02Hell of a lot of money
42:03for a demo.
42:03It's a very special demo.
42:05Yeah.
42:06More a power play.
42:07All right,
42:08I'll buy that.
42:09What do you say?
42:10Do you get enough
42:10boys together for it?
42:11Of course you can.
42:13Good boys too,
42:14ready to hit somebody,
42:15eh?
42:15All in a good cause,
42:16naturally.
42:17Don't worry about him.
42:19He's a mate.
42:19I'll vouch for him.
42:20Yeah.
42:21I can get him.
42:23Saturday, you say?
42:24Outside the embassy.
42:26Lot of money.
42:28Cash?
42:29Naturally,
42:29on the nail,
42:30the night before.
42:32Unusual request?
42:33It's an unusual situation.
42:36Okay.
42:38It's a deal.
42:39There's one thing
42:39about the cash.
42:40It has to be Swiss francs.
42:41The currency of corruption?
42:44I don't know.
42:45Look,
42:45it's Swiss francs
42:46or the deal's off.
42:48Okay.
42:49Swiss francs?
42:50Yes,
42:50the currency of corruption.
42:52But I have already
42:53taken the money.
42:53I know what you've got.
42:55It's Swiss francs
42:56or the deal's off.
42:57But why?
42:58I don't know.
42:59Must be some reason
43:00they've gone.
43:00You will have to take it
43:01to get it changed.
43:03It's the middle
43:04of the afternoon.
43:04The banks are closed.
43:05I can't get one open.
43:06Maybe you can.
43:10Very well.
43:11But you will be making
43:13the payoff.
43:14You understand?
43:15Okay.
43:18I'll be waiting.
43:20Thank God,
43:20I'm glad you're on our side.
43:23It all hangs together.
43:24It makes a convoluted sense.
43:26But will it work?
43:27It's got to.
43:29Doyle,
43:29Bodie,
43:30we've all of us
43:30put a great deal into it.
43:31Not to mention
43:32your daughter,
43:33clear?
43:33Yes.
43:34She asks some rather
43:35awkward questions
43:35about that chap of yours.
43:37Bodie, is it?
43:38Wonders if you've been
43:39feeding him too much
43:40red meat.
43:41You don't send
43:42a vegetarian
43:43to trap a jackal,
43:44Sir John.
43:45You're wrong, Carly.
43:46A rat is what we're after.
44:00I don't know.
44:22I don't know.
44:22Hi.
44:46I don't know.
44:50I don't know.
44:51I don't know.
44:54Never knew you cared.
44:57Morty, are you okay?
44:59Yeah.
44:59I think so, sir.
45:01It's just dawned on me, you know.
45:03I might have been killed.
45:04What?
45:04What if you'd forgotten to put flanks in your weapon?
45:06Come on.
45:08I know, there's a thing.
45:09Hey, you joke.
45:11He took off like a batter of hell.
45:13You sure he got the right address?
45:14Yeah.
45:14I told him to pay off point twice.
45:16He knows it well.
45:18He's got a delivery, he has to.
45:22Now.
45:32Morty couldn't make it.
45:39Why are you funding this operation?
45:41It's personal.
45:42Okay?
45:44Okay.
45:45This is most kind of you, Mr. Hollis.
45:47I do not wish to be near my embassy at the moment.
45:50There's going to be a little trouble.
45:53Trouble?
45:54Ah, no.
45:55Not for me.
45:56No, certainly not.
45:59You're usual, Mr. Rahal.
46:01Thank you very much.
46:03Sit down.
46:06Oh, would you mind if I...
46:09No, help yourselves.
46:10What do you want, racing results?
46:11Got a dead cert, have you?
46:13A dead cert?
46:15Ah, yes.
46:16Yes, you could say that.
46:18A dead cert.
46:21Definitely.
46:23For some time, undeterred by the cold and the onset of darkness.
46:27So far, the mood of the demonstrators seems to be almost genial.
46:31Police reinforcements are, however, standing by in nearby streets.
46:36Earlier, Scotland Yard issued a statement...
46:39Hello, sir.
46:40It's getting to the best bit.
46:41I thought the best bit was still to come, Bordy.
46:44A petition will be taken to the embassy.
46:46You don't want to miss out on that, do you?
46:50Come on.
46:51Now, there seems to be some disturbance at the back of the crowd.
46:54Okay, now we've got to go on.
46:56Nice and close.
46:57Right now!
46:59Right now!
47:00Right now!
47:01Right now!
47:02Right now!
47:04...of the mob.
47:05And yes, that is the only word to describe the scene here.
47:08Matter of people rapidly becoming a mob.
47:11Equal rights for women now!
47:13Equal rights for women now!
47:15...to match their bodies!
47:25No shooting.
47:31Yes, it's the anti-Arab League.
47:33They're coming to the fore.
47:35They're commanding the stage and coming through.
47:37Equal rights for women now!
47:39Equal rights for women now!
47:42...muslim cause.
47:43Here she comes now!
47:47I'd have given anything to see his face.
47:51Smash me!
47:52Smash me!
47:54Smash me!
47:55Smash me!
47:56Smash me!
47:58Hey, he was mine!
48:03No, he was yours.
48:05Right.
48:09I want to see my lawyer.
48:11I said I...
48:12I want a word out of you and what you'll want is a dentist.
48:14Bodhi!
48:15Mr. Rahad has diplomatic immunity.
48:19Isn't that right, Mr. Rahad?
48:21Yes, that is correct, Mr. Cowley.
48:25But why have you broken in here?
48:27Broken in?
48:28Mr. Hollis invited us in.
48:30Isn't that right, Mr. Hollis?
48:33If you say so.
48:35We respect your diplomatic status, Mr. Rahad.
48:38In fact, the relationship between our country and your beloved leader is such that we feel compelled to show him
48:44this.
48:46Now, the man here is...
48:49Oh, but you know him, Mr. Rahad.
48:51He's a prime mover in Anna Jones' political group.
48:54A group dedicated to the overthrow of your president.
48:58And there you are, Mr. Rahad.
49:00In cahoots, giving him money.
49:04The photo could be faked, of course.
49:06But the fact that you urgently changed an amount of sterling pounds into Swiss francs.
49:11That is a matter of record.
49:14You even had to make a special arrangement outside banking hours.
49:18The girl.
49:19Anna.
49:20She was, uh...
49:22Very expensive.
49:25I was tricked.
49:28Set up!
49:30Well, perhaps you were.
49:31But that will be a matter for your president to decide.
49:34And the way your regime is at the moment, it feeds on doubts and suspicions.
49:38Do you know what I think?
49:40I think your president will regard our showing him this photograph as a friendly act.
49:45A concern for his safety.
49:48I think it will strengthen the relationship between our countries.
49:51I think you will be recalled.
49:54And we will be rid of you.
49:57You will be killing me.
50:00Us, Mr. Rahad?
50:02Any killing will be done by your own countrymen.
50:05Good day, Mr. Rahad.
50:10Evening, sir.
50:11Good evening, Borey.
50:12Hello.
50:14Old straight food.
50:17Hello.
50:18Hello.
50:20Oh, no, no.
50:20I've just been talking about old times.
50:22It transpires that I knew her father very well.
50:25Daddy was a Whitehall warrior.
50:27Ah.
50:27Now, what shall we drink to?
50:28Rahad.
50:29Oh, no.
50:29No, that would leave a bit of a sour taste.
50:32I'll tell you what.
50:33Let's drink to a very special lady.
50:34Ah, that'll do fine.
50:36That'll be great.
50:37A lady.
50:38Well, I'm definitely that or I'd be out of business.
50:41Hannah.
50:43A very special lady.
51:04Bye-bye.
51:06Bye-bye.
51:08Bye.
