TVTranscript
00:13Walk, rise, walk in the corridor, don't run.
00:17Well, Phoenix, I think you've shown your father all the nuts and bolts of the school, don't you?
00:21Well, if we haven't, you'll be able to tell him about them in your letters.
00:24I think you'll have plenty to write home about once things get underway.
00:27Promise me you'll do that, my son.
00:28This is a fine school, and I want to hear that you're doing well, so that I can be proud
00:32of you.
00:33So that Mr. Harper here can be proud of you.
00:34Yes, father, I'll try.
00:36That's the spirit. Off you go to 4B. Join Mr. Seaborn in his class.
00:39Goodbye, Felix. I will come again soon, that I promise you.
00:42Goodbye, father.
00:45I shall be talking to them later in the refectory.
00:57Well, that pleases me. There's nothing in the world as valuable as knowledge, and I feel sure you will educate
01:02him well here.
01:03We shall certainly do our best for him. It's good of you to come and talk to us today.
01:07I hadn't expected to see you under the circumstances.
01:09Well, it was not easy. As you can see, your government is very protective toward me at the moment.
01:13So, I must not linger. Goodbye, Mr. Harper. I'm sure we shall meet again.
01:18Goodbye, Colonel.
01:19Madam.
01:33I'll see you next time.
02:49Tell me why they should make a request to you, Major, or to military security at all.
02:53Because Colonel Oduker is a very persuasive man, as I have no doubt you'll discover.
02:58Which means you've been relieved of the responsibility and the buck's been passed to me.
03:02If you want to put it that way.
03:03What riles me is how it happened in the first place.
03:06Oduker's not exactly a guest of the military in this country.
03:08Agreed.
03:10If you're interested, I'm also agreed that your department should have been in at the beginning.
03:15And there's your muscle, unless I'm mistaken.
03:20Well, I'll leave you to give them your words of wisdom, Cowley.
03:24I have some explaining of my own to do elsewhere this afternoon.
03:29Give my regards to the Colonel and his lady.
03:31He killed two of them himself, you see.
03:34Apparently so.
03:35The Colonel's no stranger to the dangerous life.
03:37Who's the woman?
03:38His mistress?
03:39No.
03:40His wife.
03:40He has four.
03:42She's his most recent and the most favourite, so he took her with him when he skipped.
03:46She's called Madam Madjuka, by the way.
03:48No doubt they all are.
03:50I'll keep in touch, Major.
03:51I'm sure you will, Cowley.
03:58What's the 14th Heavy Metal Brigade doing here?
04:00It's not war, is it?
04:01There's never anything else, Doyle.
04:04How would you call this a peaceful scene?
04:07I've seen worse.
04:08I'm glad to hear it, because you two are going to be standing where the victim stood,
04:12right next to Colonel Oduker.
04:14So if you'll follow me, I'll make the introductions.
04:17This Oduker, is he a friend of ours?
04:19Politically, yes.
04:21Diplomatically, he's more of a thorn in the flesh than anything else.
04:23Oh, I see.
04:24We're going to be the elastoplast, don't we?
04:27CI5 has been instructed to safeguard the Colonel, if that's what your juvenile metaphor was meant
04:31to convey to him.
04:32Yes, sir.
04:33Something like that.
04:34So what's he doing here, apart from having his kids educated?
04:36He wants to re-establish himself in power, and he needs our help to do it.
04:40Just how much we'll give him is to be decided at a conference this week.
04:43He was supposed to stay under wraps until then.
04:46This is what happened when he didn't.
04:47Well, if he's trouble, why are we playing ball with him in the first place?
04:50Because the military coup that replaced him isn't looking westward for its ideology.
04:54The game hasn't even started in Africa yet, Bodie.
04:56So which way does the Juker look, then?
04:59Heavenward, so they tell me.
05:02Ah, Doctor, how are they?
05:04They're okay.
05:05I've given the lady a mild sedative.
05:07Her pulse was a little jumpy.
05:09Understandable, having been in the middle of a gunfight.
05:11What about the Colonel?
05:12Unharmed and steady as a rock.
05:13I get the feeling he rather enjoyed the affair.
05:15I hope nobody tells that to Major Danby.
05:18He's on his way to tell a woman she's just been made a widow.
05:21Can we go in?
05:21Yes, of course.
05:25Colonel, Madam, I'm George Cowley of CI5.
05:29And what is your business with me, Mr. Cowley?
05:32My minister has instructed me to assume responsibility for your continued safety in this country, Colonel.
05:37And that of Madam Juker, of course.
05:40To that end, I've assigned these two men to replace the bodyguard who was killed here today.
05:45The other was a good man.
05:46He died well.
05:48Will they do as much?
05:49I trust it won't come to that again, sir.
05:52In all probability, the attack on you today was uncoordinated.
05:55Whoever it was gambled on your presence here to see your son.
05:58We won't offer them that sort of chance again.
06:00I see you are the Prophet's man, Mr. Cowley.
06:03How's that, sir?
06:04Mohammed says trust in God, but tie your camel first.
06:08I take it you would not have allowed me here today?
06:10No, sir, I would not.
06:12Then you are the Prophet's man.
06:14Well, I learn something every day, don't I?
06:20I understand you defended yourself very effectively today, Colonel.
06:24Indeed, it is a habit of mine.
06:26A commendable one.
06:27Although I'm not sure that the minister was aware that his guest carried arms in public.
06:31May I see the gun you carry, please?
06:34Please.
06:43A Remington .45.
06:45Very pretty gun, Colonel.
06:48Make sure that this is kept safely for Colonel Reducca Bodhi.
06:52I'm sure he wouldn't like it to go astray.
06:54Sir?
06:54Mr. Cowley.
06:56Yes, sir?
06:56The weapon belongs to me.
06:58Yes.
06:59Yes, of course, but it's not the policy of CI5 to arm our visitors for their own protection.
07:03That's what these men are for.
07:05And I assure you, they're very good at it.
07:07So I think we'll leave it there.
07:09The Colonel has one of our unlisted accommodations.
07:11You will take him there and provide security until further orders.
07:13Understood?
07:14Yes, sir.
07:15I'll be in touch when we have the conference details, Colonel.
07:19Good day, madam.
07:20Good day, Mr. Cowley.
07:25A strong-willed man, this Mr. Cowley.
07:29Is he always so?
07:30That's right, Colonel.
07:32Somewhat disarming, I think.
07:36Any idea who your attackers might have been back there, Colonel?
07:39Enemies, Mr. Doyle.
07:40Not enemies of the blood, but men paid to act as enemies.
07:43You mean hired assassins?
07:44No, I think not assassins.
07:45Had they meant to kill me, they probably could have done so without risking themselves so much.
07:49Then who?
07:50Not assassins.
07:51Do you recognize any of them?
07:53In the Muslim world, assassins are killers deranged with the eating of hashish.
07:57Such is how the word was made.
07:59Such a practice is not legal here.
08:01Neither is murder, madam Madhuka, and your bodyguard were shot dead back there.
08:05As were his killers.
08:07A swift justice for them, and a fitting one.
08:10I'm afraid this isn't quite such a fitting one, sir.
08:35I'm afraid this isn't quite 독
08:47Oh, thank you.
08:58Well, that's one meeting I could have done without today.
09:01You've seen his wife? His widow? Yes.
09:04How did you take it? Badly.
09:07I always hoped they're going to be prepared for it in some way with a husband on active service.
09:11I think we all tend to see each other as immortal even in this kind of job until it happens.
09:17Our Colonel Aduka apparently views himself that way from what I've seen of him.
09:21Oh, yes. A man of destiny.
09:25I've been looking at the town on the map.
09:28Twice the size of Great Britain and still lost in the middle of nowhere.
09:32One great chunk of emptiness.
09:34Population practically nil and barely a mile of road or railway in any of it.
09:38No, but you could point a lovely missile in our direction if the new junta were disposed to let you
09:42do it.
09:44At least all Aduka wants is for his country to be left alone.
09:47With him at the wheel.
09:49Let the diplomats wrangle over at Cowley. It's their job.
09:52Your job is to get him to them in one piece.
09:56Was there a written request for Aduka's little outing today?
10:01Yes, there was. Why do you ask?
10:03Do you know who signed it?
10:05One of the knowns, I expect.
10:07Somebody's assistant secretary. I can check it for you if you like.
10:10Yes, if you would, Major.
10:15I thought you might like some coffee.
10:17Great, thank you.
10:19Where's your companion?
10:21He's guarding the outside. We'll change over soon.
10:24Where's the Colonel?
10:26He's reading.
10:28He says,
10:30If a man is not active, he should be gathering information.
10:33If neither of these, he should be sleeping.
10:35He's not a man to waste his time in the world.
10:37Yeah, I can believe that.
10:39You've been together long?
10:40Not long. I was brought to him.
10:42You were brought to him? What does that mean?
10:44It means that I was chosen for him. That is all.
10:47What seems strange for you here is no more than custom in our country.
10:54I am his wife, Mr. Doyle.
11:07Four, five.
11:08Three, seven. All quiet in the western front, you?
11:11Yeah, the Colonel's in bed gathering information.
11:13So should I be.
11:14Had Louise lined up for tonight, you know.
11:16He's in bed reading, you pre-epismic monster.
11:24Change over in 30 minutes, all right?
11:26Yeah, okay.
11:32Pre-epismic?
11:34Yeah, look it up. It suits you.
11:37Thanks.
11:42Faroud?
11:42Yes?
11:43It went wrong.
11:44I see.
11:45We lost our men.
11:46In that case, you must try, try again.
11:49Don't worry, we will.
11:50I trust you can make arrangements.
11:52Yeah, it's already done.
11:54Good.
11:55Then I shall wait to hear from you.
11:57Woof.
12:07I'll see you later.
12:09I'll see you later.
12:12Good, buddy.
12:13Come on.
12:18Good, buddy.
12:20Good, buddy.
12:30It's all clear. I'm coming up.
12:48Yeah. It's your pre-epismic monster.
12:51I'm coming up.
13:28I reckon I owe you one.
13:30One down, eight to go.
13:34More swift justice, Colonel.
13:37It's getting to be a popular pastime around you.
14:00It's getting to be a popular pastime.
14:09You've determined adversaries, Colonel Educa.
14:12And yet you say you've no idea who they could be.
14:15The Colonel saw the bodies?
14:17Yes, sir. Running checks on the weapons in the car. Nothing yet.
14:20The men were unknown to me.
14:22But I saw that your men displayed great skill in turning them from adversaries into bodies.
14:25You trained them well, Mr. Cowley.
14:27I trained them to do their job, no more, no less.
14:31And it would help me to do mine if you could give me a lead on where these attacks might
14:34be coming from.
14:35The junta that has temporarily replaced me in Bataan has not the strength to reach for me so determinedly in
14:41this country.
14:42It cannot be there.
14:43Unless, of course, they've made some powerful friends in your absence, or at least allies for the time being.
14:49I've been looking at Bataan quite closely, Colonel.
14:51You border at least one part, which includes neither your country nor mine in its sympathies.
14:56And what does that imply to you?
14:59A weak man in need of something will turn to a strong one to get it for him if he
15:03can.
15:03If not by friendship, then by way of trade.
15:06Just as you're doing here.
15:08Well said.
15:09You understand the mechanics of the game.
15:12Do you have knowledge of such an alliance?
15:14No, I don't.
15:16Even if I had, I understand the mechanics of the game well enough not to put too many cards in
15:21your hand before tomorrow's conference.
15:24I like you, Mr. Kelly.
15:26I like you.
15:28So, tell me what you propose to do with me.
15:31Simply to carry out my orders, which are to see you safely delivered to your conference.
15:36I was instructed this morning that it's to be held at Gateways in Buckinghamshire.
15:41Apparently, the Foreign Office feel that such a meeting would arouse too much speculation held openly here in London.
15:47Might also arouse some shooting from what we saw this morning.
15:49I agree to all.
15:51And when I want your comments, I'll ask for them.
15:54After last night's attempt, the flat provided by the FO is obviously unsafe.
15:58The police can provide adequate protection for Madame Maduca, but I'm afraid I can't allow you to return there.
16:03Then where are you sending me? To the Tower of London?
16:06Might not be a bad idea.
16:07No, Colonel. We keep that for Her Majesty's prisoners, not her guests.
16:11These two men will accompany you to Gateways today and remain with you there until the conference is over.
16:17I understand you'll be leaving us after that.
16:20Yes, indeed.
16:22A weak man must seek strong friends where he can find them.
16:25I'm sure you will agree.
16:27You'll know more about that than I do, Colonel.
16:29I'm no politician.
16:32Draw weapons and communications equipment as you think fit.
16:35Do it now. Leave the Colonel with me.
16:39I want minimum risk and a very low profile on this one. Is that clear?
16:43Sir, sir.
16:45Have a drink, Colonel. Whiskey, perhaps?
16:49Oh, no. No, of course.
16:51What does minimum risk mean in an outfit like this one, anyway?
16:54Trust in God, mate.
16:56But with the Duke in the back seat, we'd better take armor lights and grenades.
16:59Yeah, good thinking.
17:02And about low profile, mate.
17:04Who needs it?
17:11Madam Oduka, I hope I'm not disturbing you.
17:14No, but where is my husband? He is not with you.
17:17No, I'm afraid not. That's why I called on you.
17:20Please come in.
17:23I spoke with Colonel Oduka this morning.
17:26After last night's attempt on his life, I'm afraid I couldn't allow him to return here again.
17:31Why is that so? You have given him protection here.
17:34Yes, I had.
17:36But his whereabouts were obviously already known to his attackers, and I couldn't risk the chance of them trying a
17:40second time.
17:41Yes, of course.
17:42So what have you done with him?
17:44My men are taking him to the conference rendezvous in Buckinghamshire this morning.
17:48He'll be a wee bit early, of course, but in my view, that's better than not being there at all.
17:53Yes, of course.
17:54I don't think you need worry, Madam Oduka. The two men he has with him are very competent.
17:58Well, if you'll excuse me, I have an appointment to keep.
18:01I'm sure the Colonel will be in touch with you as soon as his safety permits.
18:05Thank you for calling, Major Cary. It was very kind of you.
18:08Not at all. And try not to worry too much in the meantime. He's in good hands.
18:26He is expecting you, Major Cowley. Please go straight in.
18:32George Cowley, CI5.
18:35Good of you to see me, Mr Avery.
18:37Not at all.
18:39Take a seat, Major Cowley.
18:44Now, what can I do for you?
18:45I'm making a report on the Oduka situation for the Foreign Office.
18:50You're aware of what that situation is, of course.
18:54Oh, yes.
18:56Our roving African warrior looking for some support from us.
19:01Quite a character, sir, I'm told.
19:03He's certainly that.
19:05I understand that the request for security on the visit that he made yesterday came from this office. Is that
19:10so?
19:11Yes, it did.
19:12The Oduka was kicking up a good deal of fuss about it, so the minister decided to let him go.
19:17With instructions for a bodyguard, naturally.
19:19And your office contacted Major Danby.
19:22That's right.
19:23Why didn't you contact me at CI5?
19:26You must be aware that such a case is more suited to my men than a retired military policeman who
19:31happened to get himself shot down.
19:32I'm aware of what took place yesterday, Cowley.
19:35A brave man died in the course of his duty, and the colonel was unharmed.
19:42You know, to be quite frank with you, the notion of calling in CI5 for a school visit seemed akin
19:48to asking the SAS to rescue a cat out of a tree.
19:50An error of judgement, then, on your part.
19:53It's easy to be wise after the event, Cowley.
19:55What you should remember is that nobody had any idea that a Oduka merited the sort of security that your
20:01department represents.
20:03As far as this office is concerned, he's very small game.
20:05And I won't be held responsible for any shortcomings on Major Danby's part.
20:09Oh, yes, I can see that.
20:12Thank you for your time, Avery.
20:14I'm sure there's nothing in your decision that you need worry about.
20:17Or if there is, I'll let you know about it.
20:23Cowley.
20:25I understand he's yours now, anyway.
20:28Take good care of him, won't you?
20:30Or you may find yourself being taken down a peg or two.
20:32Oh, yes, indeed. I'll do that.
20:43Keep your eyes on that, Merkley.
20:51Alfred to base.
20:52Yes, sir.
20:53I want a full dossier on John Avery.
20:56Background, career, history, the lot.
20:59One copy only and given to me first-hand. Understood?
21:01Yes, sir.
21:02We are being followed?
21:04Yeah, looks like it, Colonel.
21:06Whoever these people are, you're definitely their flavour of the month.
21:09You will give me my gun?
21:10I might just as well give you my head on a plate.
21:13No, sir, we will not give you your gun.
21:15A pity.
21:18All right, let's see how serious they get, eh?
21:20Yeah.
21:21Hang on, Colonel.
21:29I've got news for you. They're serious.
21:40What's up?
21:42Get out!
21:43Get out!
22:15Hold it!
22:27Hold it!
22:30Excellent!
22:33Excellent, my friend.
22:35Should you ever wish it, there's a place for you beside me and Bataan.
22:37No, thanks, Colonel. Are you okay?
22:39Fine.
22:40How's the call?
22:40Hardly worth calling the RSC.
22:42Let's use the mark.
22:43It's super new for you.
22:44Oh, John.
22:46Once it's out of here, our security stinks.
22:48But where would you go?
22:49Oh, we found a hotel.
22:50Wait till we're safe.
22:51Well, let's call Cali on the scramble.
22:54You would seem I have enemies everywhere.
22:59I don't think you've lost your insurance credit by this evening.
23:07Feed this through, will you?
23:11The dust here on Avery you asked for, sir.
23:13It's fairly comprehensive.
23:15Good luck, Murphy.
23:16What's it all about, sir?
23:17You don't ask for a coded file on one of our own every day of the week.
23:19No, I don't.
23:21But when I called him John Avery today, he was raffled about something.
23:24More than he should have been over a routine visit from CI5.
23:28You think he's doubling on us?
23:30Well, I wish I knew.
23:31But I do know this much.
23:33Somebody is very close to us on the jukers.
23:36You recognize any of those two, Colonel?
23:38Only his bodies, Mr. Bode.
23:39They were not known to me.
23:41Well, there was nothing in there either.
23:43It must be a higher car.
23:45Well, it's a stolen car at the moment.
23:47Yeah, well, let's just call it requisition, shall we?
23:50I'll tell you one thing about them right now.
23:51They wanted you alive.
23:53Because if they wanted to kill you, you'd have been dead back there at the car.
23:56All of us walk on the precipice of our fate, Mr. Doyle.
24:00If I'm alive, it is because Allah wills it so.
24:03I wonder if Cowley knows that.
24:05I don't know, but it might take a load off his mind.
24:19Cowley.
24:22What?
24:23How long ago was this?
24:26I see, you've still got the man.
24:28All right, hold him.
24:29Yes, hold him.
24:30He's to talk to nobody.
24:31And give me total silence of this until I see otherwise.
24:36Yes, Inspector.
24:37My responsibility.
24:40Get Murphy back here at the double.
24:42Tell him he's on call.
24:44Priority one.
25:12Good afternoon.
25:13Can I help you?
25:14Yeah, I hope so.
25:15I'd like three single rooms, please, adjoining if possible.
25:18I see.
25:19Well, I'll just check for you.
25:20Will you be staying, Ron?
25:21No, I shouldn't think so.
25:23Overnight, probably.
25:24Well, that really depends on our boss.
25:26You see, we're travellers in tropical fish.
25:29And this gentleman here is Mr Guppy, our overseas buyer.
25:32He's a very important man to us.
25:34Well, I think we can accommodate you.
25:36Our rooms six, seven and eight are adjoining.
25:39Seven is usually taken as a children's room.
25:41But the bed is full size.
25:43There's no bath, I'm afraid.
25:44So if you don't mind sharing...
25:47No, I'm sure that'd be all right.
25:50That's okay with Mr Guppy.
26:00You've identified the bullets?
26:02Yes, they checked with the CI5 issue.
26:04So it's a safe bet to assume it was your man that killed these things.
26:06And the bullets in the car came from the guns that killed them?
26:09Well, one of them, yes.
26:10They'd both been fired,
26:11so there must have been some sort of shoot-up between them
26:13before they were killed.
26:15Well, if they hit anything, it didn't fall over, did it?
26:17Not that we could make out.
26:19One of yours might be wounded, of course.
26:22What I'd like to know is what the hell they were doing out there?
26:24It's classified, I'm afraid.
26:26For the moment, anyway.
26:29Any effects on them?
26:30Any personal identification?
26:33Cigarettes, some money, nothing traceable.
26:36We'd taken prints, but they may as well have dropped out of the sky
26:38as far as immediate identification goes.
26:41Oh, well, one of them was wearing this.
26:45What is it?
26:46It's an elephant hair bracelet.
26:47Sort of charm for long life.
26:50It didn't do him an old good, did it?
26:52Well, it's not exactly bulletproof, is it?
26:54There's another thing about these two.
26:55What's that, Doctor?
26:56Well, they're skin pigment.
26:58It's only a guess.
27:00But I'd say they'd spent a lot of time nearer the equator than the south of France.
27:04Like where?
27:06Africa?
27:07Keeping the lid on this can of worms is getting trickier by the minute.
27:09I've got two bodies, a car full of bullet holes and a passerby locked up in a cell, screaming about
27:15citizens' rights.
27:16I'm doing well.
27:16He's the man that found them?
27:18Yeah, he's a traveller.
27:20Said he was on his way to Oxford.
27:21So now I've got a load of fruit machines stuck outside the neck.
27:24All I need is a case of wrongful arrest for a finale.
27:27They're very touchy in this part of the world.
27:29Is that his sheep?
27:30Yeah.
27:31All right.
27:32I'll have a word with him.
27:33Where's he's working?
27:34Just outside.
27:39Oh, bloody Ray.
27:42I was starting to feel like a great train robber down here.
27:45Do you know I was supposed to be in Oxford an hour ago?
27:47Yes, sir.
27:47I understand your feelings.
27:49Mr. Radford, isn't it?
27:50Well, it was when I came in here.
27:52I'm beginning to forget.
27:53Well, Mr. Radford, I'm afraid you're going to have to be a bit patient with us.
27:55It looks like it might be an overnight stay.
27:57Now, wait a minute.
27:58Now, listen.
27:58Listen.
27:58What are you talking about?
27:59I stop for a leak.
28:00I find two dead bodies.
28:02I come here.
28:02I tell you about them and you're throwing away the key?
28:04I mean, what is this?
28:05Russia?
28:06Now, listen to me.
28:07You let me out of here.
28:08I'm sorry, sir.
28:09I'm afraid we can't do that.
28:10I'm a citizen.
28:10I've got rights.
28:11I've got deliveries to make.
28:13I've got people waiting for me.
28:16Oh, yes.
28:17The fruit machines.
28:19I noticed your vehicle didn't have a commercial license.
28:22I take it it is your vehicle.
28:24Well, yes, of course it is.
28:26Then you're responsible for the license.
28:29Oh, yes, I suppose I am.
28:31And you do have a license to trade in gambler machines.
28:34Of course, we could always check the serial numbers against your invoice.
28:39You do have an invoice.
28:47You don't happen to have any fags up there, do you?
28:51And I wouldn't say no to a nice cup of tea.
28:53I don't know.
28:53I don't know.
28:55I don't know.
29:31I don't know.
29:35I don't know.
29:36I don't know.
29:50I don't know.
29:50There was something that came into my head.
29:52We had a tank full of them when I was a kid.
29:54Guppies.
29:55Angelfish.
29:56Until the cat got up one morning and went fishing.
29:59Should have kept a couple of piranhas.
30:01Look after them.
30:02What, you mean like us?
30:03Yeah.
30:04I'll tell you what though.
30:06He's no angelfish.
30:08We've got a full-grown barracuda in there, mate.
30:15There you go. Good, innit?
30:193-7 to Alpha.
30:243-7 to Alpha.
30:253-7 to Alpha.
30:26Alpha One, where the hell are you?
30:28Bingo.
30:29Is the duker safe?
30:30Yes, he's safe, sir. We got him at the Beecher's Hotel near Slough.
30:33I'm afraid we drew some attention on the road, which must have come from the inside, so he went for
30:38cover.
30:38There's a leak on this one, sir. Big as your fist.
30:41Aye, I know that, and I think I know where from and why.
30:43So let's keep a duker there until we've got the key to this.
30:46Well, if we're untraced, I think our duker's safe here.
30:48Right. Now, listen to me.
30:51John Avery at the Home Office has got more interest in African finance than you've got in air hostesses, Bodhi.
30:56And he's acting very jumpy.
30:57He's also got a house in Buckinghamshire which practically overlooks Gateways, a place called Beechcroft.
31:02About ten miles off the Oxford Road.
31:04I want you to get down there and stake it out and stick to it like glue until this conference
31:08is underway, understood?
31:09Yes, sir, but I don't quite see the connection.
31:11You don't have to.
31:12Just bear in mind that the two men we killed this afternoon were white Africans brought in to take a
31:17duker.
31:18If this is coming from the inside, Avery's got the motive, and the place to do it from.
31:23Meanwhile, Doyle will take care of the Colonel, okay?
31:27Looks like you're guarding the tank on your own, Angel Fisherman surveillance.
31:31Who?
31:32John Avery.
31:33What?
31:34Your very own Under Secretary, mate.
31:36Where does he fit in?
31:38Right in the middle, according to Cowley.
31:39He's got some dirty money in Africa and his upper lips sweating over it.
31:43And a country house between here and Gateways.
31:46Yeah, so what's the connection?
31:47You know those two cowboys you took out this afternoon?
31:50The white Africans were imported.
31:53If that's who's after a duker, they could be using Avery's place as a springboard.
31:57Well, yeah, they could, but that doesn't bring Avery as close to a duker as those two got.
32:00I mean, they were operating inside Cowley's security.
32:03I don't eat them all at once.
32:04No, I shan't.
32:06I mean, the old man's got to be gambling, hasn't he?
32:08Yeah.
32:09Anyway, I'm on surveillance.
32:12Don't let the cat get at him.
32:14Oh, I won't.
32:14I was very upset last time.
32:24You're bluffing.
32:27I'll see you.
32:32Aces and kings, Mr. Doyle.
32:34No.
32:36Black ones.
32:38That's four in a row.
32:40Again?
32:41Yeah, why not?
32:42I haven't got much left to lose, have I?
32:43Then we are well matched.
32:47So why do you reckon they want you so badly?
32:51Because I am a symbol to my people.
32:54Whilst I live, the junta can have no true power in Bataan.
32:59They know I shall return to prise their fingers from my country.
33:04You weren't exactly spotless when you took it though, were you?
33:09Firing squads, mass roundups.
33:12You must have made some enemies along the way.
33:18That is true.
33:20But which of us remain spotless on the road to power?
33:24The people fear me, but they know me as one of them, and thus they love me.
33:32When I travel to my country.
33:33When I travel to my country, the people chant for me, O Juca.
33:37O Juca.
33:40But these men behind their mask, they do not chant for them.
33:45That is why O Juca is dangerous to them.
33:50You are right.
33:53You are right.
33:54You are right.
34:06You are right.
34:15I am right.
34:33Hello, Hakim? Where are you? What's happened?
34:38Oh, you're safe now. And you'll stay there?
34:42Yes, until tomorrow. Then they take me to the conference.
34:47I'm weary of all the delays in hiding.
34:51When it is settled, you will join me.
34:55Already I miss you, Katunda.
34:56Yes, I miss you too, Hakim.
34:59I'm glad you thought of her.
35:02Mm-hmm. Goodbye.
35:10I think it is time to pay a call on our ally in this matter.
35:25I trust you're not blaming me, Mr. Farood.
35:28I can't answer for the failings of our mutual friends.
35:30I act simply as a go-between for your interests and theirs.
35:33Nothing more.
35:35That is true.
35:36But I understand that their influence over your own interest is considerable, is it not?
35:41And any failure here will certainly reflect badly on yourself, even disastrously, Mr. Avery.
35:55You say that Madame Adjuka knows where he is now?
35:57Yes.
35:58We have spoken with her this evening.
36:01I sometimes feel that Madame would happily accomplish your task herself, if she were asked to.
36:05That would satisfy her personal grievance, no doubt.
36:08But we who rule in Bactan are most anxious that justice is seen to be done.
36:13Then we shall have to try harder, won't we?
36:15Absolutely.
36:19Go on.
36:21Yes.
36:24Mm.
36:25Okay.
36:26We'll be there.
36:28You just make sure the pickup still stands for tomorrow, yeah?
36:31Good.
36:35They lost him, and they paid for it.
36:38Get Davis and bring the call.
36:39We've got one more chance.
36:42In the past ten years, three directorships of companies with mining interests in Africa.
36:47Investments in heavy engineering, mineral surveys, transport franchise, all in areas under the jurisdiction of Bataan.
36:54Well, he wouldn't be the first to make a fortune in somebody else's back garden, would he?
36:57Not by a long way, but he's bringing it out through the next-door neighbours.
37:00If they turn against him, Avery loses everything.
37:03Do you think he's trading Adjuka with them for some goodwill?
37:06I do.
37:07But I can't pull in a man of Avery's weight for what I think he's doing.
37:11We've got to find a connection on him before we can touch him.
37:15What bothers me is how he's been getting inside us like he has.
37:18Adjuka might as well be telling him what he's up to himself.
37:21Aye, might as well be.
37:24And we've been so damn sure of him.
37:27We haven't been looking close enough to home.
37:31His home.
37:33Come on, Murphy.
37:36I think it's time we looked into Madame Adjuka's eyes on this one.
37:43You're a very prompt lady. I like that.
37:45What you like or dislike is no concern of mine.
37:48I just came to see that you did not fail again.
37:51You just get us inside the room, lady. That's all you've got to do.
38:02Are you telling me you'd just let her walk out of here, Sergeant?
38:05Well, yes, sir.
38:05My orders are simply to guard the building, sir, not to detain her.
38:08She's not under arrest.
38:09And she gave you no indication of where she was going?
38:11No, sir.
38:12I assumed he had something to do with Mr. Avery's call last night, sir.
38:15Avery was here? Are you sure?
38:18Quite sure, sir.
38:19I checked the security pass when he arrived.
38:21What did he want with Madame Adjuka?
38:23It's not my business to guess, is it, sir?
38:25And I don't go button-holing government figures for the fun of it.
38:28No, Sergeant. I suppose you don't.
38:31If Avery's been here, we're on to something.
38:33Let's hope they're not.
38:38Half of the base.
38:39Yes, sir.
38:40Has 4-5 called in yet?
38:41Not yet, sir.
38:42When he does, tell him we're on our way down.
38:45Not to make one move until we get there.
38:47Whatever Adjuka might say.
38:48Or his wife.
39:10Yes?
39:11Mr. Doyle, please can I speak to my husband?
39:25Nobody was supposed to know, Colonel.
39:36I said leave it on the floor.
39:57Shut your mouth, lady.
39:58You've got what you came for.
40:00No.
40:02Bring him along for the ride.
40:31I owe him.
40:33Personally, if I have to.
40:34Anything moving there?
40:35Uh, one visitor just now.
40:37He's still in the house.
40:38And you're gonna love this bit.
40:39He's African.
40:40Is he now?
40:41It's beginning to fit then.
40:43Avery and the Colonel's wife met last night.
40:45So stay put and keep your eyes open.
40:47If either one of them shows, I want to know about it.
40:50Out.
40:51Now, let's give Doyle his early morning call.
40:54Alpha to four-five.
40:55Come in, four-five.
41:02Stay back.
41:04Back.
41:26Why, Kutunda?
41:29What had these dogs paid you?
41:31Nothing, Hakim.
41:33Except the promise that when you are returned to Bataan,
41:37they will cut off your head for everybody to see.
41:40That would seal it for them, certainly.
41:42But for you...
41:43To pay for the land and the lives you took when you took me.
41:47I have waited for it since then.
41:50And so have others.
41:52They will make you pay with your blood.
41:56For a village squabble?
41:59You bed with me.
42:01You follow me.
42:03To betray me for a village squabble?
42:14Kutunda.
42:17Then you have earned my head.
42:25Two, three, five, thank you.
42:43So, you're CI-5, are you?
42:46You've got quite a reputation.
42:48If we get to spend a little time together,
42:50I'm going to find out exactly what makes you tick.
42:53Like you did with that girl back there.
42:55You're a really brave man, aren't you?
42:58Mostly around the mouth.
43:16Harbour to 3-7.
43:173-7.
43:18We had to jump behind them, Bodhi.
43:19They've taken a duker and Doyle with them.
43:21Killed a girl at the hotel.
43:23What about Doyle?
43:24Disarmed, but not dead.
43:26At least not when they left.
43:363-7, Oalpa.
43:37Come in, 3-7.
43:38Two cars have arrived.
43:39The lady's with them, but no sign of Avery.
43:41We're on our way, 3-7.
43:43My guess is that Avery will pick them up before he runs,
43:45so stay close.
43:46And I want no action till we get there.
43:48What if they move?
43:49Doyle's in there, you know.
43:50I'll have no heroics on Doyle's behalf, Bodhi.
43:53Is that clear?
43:54Yes, sir.
44:08You put up quite a little show for yourself, didn't you?
44:11It was a pleasure.
44:12Yeah?
44:14Yeah.
44:20My pleasure, hard man.
44:24You take it easy there, yeah?
44:27Think about what you could come in next, Bodhi.
44:35So, Colonel, it seems you are to miss your conference after all,
44:39thanks to your good lady here.
44:41We are still a long way from Bataan, Faroud.
44:44You have no allies here but these jackals.
44:46We are not so far.
44:47The government that so kindly provided these men
44:50has a ship waiting for us at sea.
44:52And the British government's own Mr. Avery
44:54will shortly take us to it.
45:10And you, what will you do, Faroud?
45:13Will you run to your master's heels again?
45:16Or will you crawl into some corner like the vermin that you are?
45:19I shall accompany you, Colonel,
45:23to ensure that you arrive in Bataan alive
45:25and in one piece for the short time at least.
45:29And when the crowds gather,
45:33I shall wield the sword that takes your head from your body
45:37and there will be no more, Jukka,
45:39to trouble the people's conscience in Bataan.
45:43All right.
45:44Let's get set.
45:46Avery's on his way.
46:13Avery's arrived.
46:14It looks like a helicopter pickup for a Jukka going in.
46:16Stay put, Bodie.
46:17That's an order.
46:22Do you read me, Bodie?
46:23That's an order.
46:30Insubordinate.
46:46Parker, you'll come with us.
46:47You've made arrangements for these, Jukka?
46:48They've been paid.
46:49They know what to do.
46:51Good.
46:54All right.
46:54Get him outside and you can be on your way.
46:56Avery.
46:57You are like this scum.
47:00All you have is a price.
47:04There'll be a lot more of that for you, I promise you.
47:06Get him out.
47:09All right.
47:11Let's go.
47:14Madam.
47:15And what are the other one?
47:17Other one?
47:19One of his CI5 bodyguards.
47:20We brought him along.
47:21You've got him here?
47:22Mm-hmm.
47:24Then kill him and get rid of him.
47:27I'll put him out now.
47:38Bring him out, you bastards.
47:40Bring him out.
47:47We're leaving.
47:49So, this is where you get yours, Hawkman.
47:53Oh, my God.
48:22Now, how do you feel, booty?
48:37Hold it.
48:40Hold it.
48:43Hold it.
48:56You just made an order, Goldie. I told you to stay put.
48:59Couldn't let them get away with it.
49:00How do you think you'd feel if you let them get him?
49:02My concern for a duker has nothing to do with insubordination.
49:05I wasn't talking about a duker, sir.
49:08Well, my friend, you've come to escort me to the conference, yes?
49:12Certainly, Colonel.
49:13Then let us delay no longer.
49:16Gentlemen, you fight well.
49:20I shall remember you for this.
49:29And there goes my violin practice for the next couple of weeks.
49:32Yeah, too bad.
49:34She's quite some woman, isn't she?
49:35What are the other three alike?
49:37I don't know, but I should imagine a duker feels a bit like I do right now.
49:40What's that?
49:41What if he carefully gets tied up with him in the future?
49:46I don't know, but I might have the
49:52I don't know.
49:53What if he grabs it?
49:58I don't know.
50:01I don't know.
50:03I don't know.
50:05I don't know.
50:10I don't know.
