00:18I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

01:08It's an odd contrast, isn't it?
01:12When I was there, the whole country was teeming with fanatics.
01:16I remember a battle in Pyongyang, Hill 41.
01:20Hundreds of them were killed.
01:23For no military purpose.
01:27It was quite senseless.
01:33It was typical.
01:45Could be a film documentary here, after the book.
01:50Yeah, well, you know more about that than me.
01:52I just want to bloody think about this.
01:54Yes, that's not right.
01:55You, uh, film, Sylvie?
01:57Huh?
01:57The films.
01:59Oh, yes.
02:00Yes, very good jogging the old memory.
02:02Yeah.
02:04Oh, uh, don't forget to keep looking for more personal photographs.
02:07The book will need plenty of them.
02:09Right.
02:10Hmm.
02:11Oh, incidentally, um, I've had a rather good idea for the title.
02:15Yeah?
02:16How about the village?
02:19No, it hasn't enough, uh...
02:22Hmm?
02:23Uh, punch, you know.
02:25But we'll think of something.
02:27Don't worry.
02:28No, no, no, no.
02:30No.
02:30Yes.
02:34Um...
02:35Edith!
02:36Edith!
02:39Yeah.
02:40Oh, are you going, Mr. Mott?
02:41Yeah, well, he's had enough, um, for one day.
02:44I was going to offer you some tea.
02:45Oh, thanks, but, um, I'd like to get away.
02:48Go through today's stuff, make some notes.
02:50Oh, let's talk about Kintley tomorrow, shall we?
02:52You can fill me in on his character.
02:54Fine, fine, yes.
02:55Uh, look, um, I'll drive you into town.
02:58Oh, I enjoy the bus, thanks.
03:00Gives me a chance to look at your island.
03:08Good night, Mr. Furner.
03:08Usual time in the morning?
03:09Uh, no, make it later, will you?
03:11Uh, half nine or so.
03:12The morning tide's just right for spotted fishing.
03:16Unless you'd like to come with me.
03:18Oh, no, thanks, Major.
03:20Now I'll come and chat Edith up,
03:21find out what kind of fanatic you are while your back's turned.
03:25Night, Mr. Furner.
03:27Good night, Mr. Morton.
03:29Yeah.
03:30Yeah.
03:32Oh, come on.
03:33Come on.
03:42I don't know if I trust that young man.
03:44The publishers wouldn't have sent him if he wasn't reliable.
03:47Well, how reliable are they?
03:48Oh, look, don't start again, Edith.
03:50It's boring.
03:51I know we need the money,
03:53but I wish you weren't going on with us.
03:54Oh, bloody hell.
03:56Wouldn't have so many debts if you did less drinking.
03:59Look, when you understand what you're talking about,
04:02we'll discuss it.
04:07Oh, my...
04:15Oh, my God.
04:25So,
06:51What are you doing?
06:52Who are you?
06:54You sent for us.
06:55Sergeant Bergerac.
06:56Well you've no business just walking in here like this.
06:59The man's critically ill.
07:01Yeah I can see that.
07:05What happened?
07:06He was found on the rocks.
07:08Unconscious.
07:09He's had a severe blow on the back of his head.
07:11Don't touch him please.
07:14Do you know who he is?
07:16Do you know who he is?
07:20Why didn't you call in the local police?
07:21I mean why call in the bureau?
07:23This was the only thing we found on him.
07:28Hotel key.
07:29That makes him a visitor wouldn't you think?
07:32You missed your vacation sister.
07:34Perhaps we ought to swap jobs Jim.
07:38Don't you recognise me?
07:40We were at school together.
07:41St Mark's.
07:43Nancy Phillips.
07:45As was.
07:46Good God.
07:47Oh I'm sorry.
07:50What'll happen now?
07:52I'll chase this up.
07:54What are his chances?
07:55Too soon to tell.
07:56Depends how long he remains like this.
07:59Well you'll let me know if there's any change won't you?
08:00Yes.
08:02Well it's nice to see you again.
08:03Nancy.
08:05Bye.
08:13He's Australian I think.
08:15Lives in London somewhere.
08:17We'll have his address downstairs.
08:19Name of Morton.
08:20Stanley Morton.
08:29It doesn't look as though he's here on holiday does it?
08:31No I don't think he is.
08:32Well he goes out at eight every morning.
08:34Comes back about six, six thirty.
08:37He has a few drinks.
08:39Has dinner and then sits up typing half the night.
08:42Typing?
08:43Hmm.
08:44Well perhaps he's a salesman.
08:46Typing out all this for his phone.
08:48No idea.
08:49He doesn't use the basket.
08:52You like to play cops too do?
08:53Well quite honestly the staff have been a little mystified.
08:56They know he types because there've been complaints.
08:59But there's no evidence.
09:00He presumably puts this all in his briefcase.
09:03His what?
09:04His briefcase.
09:05Never without it.
09:07Well he was without it when they found him.
09:20Have you checked Fleet Street?
09:23And he's not in the paper.
09:26Well what does he write then?
09:29What sort of books?
09:32Yeah if you would please.
09:33Thanks.
09:37I don't know sir.
09:38Anything.
09:39I said anything you can find.
09:41We haven't got anything over here.
09:42Not even a letter.
09:43Yes thanks.
09:51Frankie.
09:52Good morning.
09:53You've been here all night.
09:56What a waste.
09:58What?
09:58I said what a waste.
10:00You could have been downstairs in bed with me.
10:02They need this urgently.
10:05I'll go get some coffee.
10:08I should think they could hear your phone call in Guernsey.
10:10It was to London.
10:11Bad line.
10:14You have to shout at foreigners.
10:16Otherwise they don't understand.
10:19Pardon?
10:58Isn't it finished?
10:59No.
11:00I'm not happy with the nose.
11:03Looks all right to me.
11:05I'll have to finish it today in his office.
11:08What's all the rush?
11:09It's for a presentation tonight.
11:10He's retiring.
11:12Do you have to be there?
11:13No.
11:14I'll see her for a meal in the barge.
11:16I'll try.
11:17Hey listen.
11:17Can you do me a favor?
11:18Can you pop into the library.
11:20See if they've got any books by Stanley Morton.
11:21What?
11:23Books by Stanley Morton.
11:26Have you got any charcoal?
11:35Stanley.
11:36Gene.
11:43I don't know if I'll have time.
11:45Oh come on.
11:45The juror's office is right next door to the library.
11:47Well if I can.
11:48Thanks.
12:15Where's Stadney?
12:16He's not here yet.
12:21Molly.
12:22Best I could do.
12:24Well cooked, best there is.
12:26I thought you might have met him somewhere.
12:28How the hell could I meet him? I've been fishing, haven't I?
12:32You don't always do what you say you're going to do.
12:34You heard me last night. I said 9.30 quite clearly.
12:55Ah, yes.
12:57Um, I'd like to speak to Mr. Morton, please.
13:03Stanley Morton.
13:04Well, I'm afraid Mr. Morton's in hospital.
13:09What?
13:10He was attacked last night in the town.
13:13Whoever uses it smokes a light strawberry jam.
13:16He doesn't clean the typeface either and he's none too gentle a touch.
13:22Sorry.
13:22Oh, hello Joe.
13:24Hello.
13:26Oh, the ribbon will tell you more.
13:28It's quite new.
13:29It's been typed over two or three times,
13:31but you can read the odd letter,
13:33even the occasional word.
13:35Where?
13:39Correa, for starters.
13:43I can't see that.
13:44Years of training.
13:47Oh, yeah.
13:49Is there anything else?
13:52Guns.
13:53Attack.
13:55Oh, and a name.
13:56Could be Fernald.
13:58I'm not certain.
13:59I hope nobody tries reading my ribbons.
14:02What would they find, love?
14:04Never you mind.
14:06Well, hospital says he's still unconscious.
14:09Could be days.
14:10Gerald, will you give up the book now then?
14:12Of course not.
14:13I mean, if the worst comes to the worst,
14:15we'll get a new ghost writer or whatever.
14:19Look, it's no good looking like that.
14:30Look, Egan, I've got a contract and a date to meet.
14:33If you were sensible.
14:34Oh, bloody dear darling,
14:36I'll have a cup of tea and take a Valium or something.
14:46Well, there's obviously no work to be done.
14:48I shall go out for an hour or so.
14:50Is the water hot?
14:51Not very.
14:57Could it be Fernald?
15:02Is that an F there?
15:04Yes.
15:05F.
15:05U.
15:06U.
15:07R.
15:08N there.
15:10Mm.
15:11U.
15:12There's a major Fernald.
15:13So, my own cottage, Portlet Bay.
15:20It's Oriental, isn't it?
15:22Yes.
15:23It's Gerald's.
15:26Where did you get it?
15:27Korea?
15:28Oh, yes, I think it is.
15:30I wanted to talk to him about a man called Stanley Morton.
15:34Who?
15:35You don't know him, do you?
15:38Oh, I'm terribly bad at names, I'm afraid.
15:41Hmm.
15:42You seem to know yours quite well.
15:45Well enough to type it, Mrs. Furnald.
15:47Ah, green fly, hmm?
15:54Uh, yes, I think Joel did mention his name.
15:57Here.
15:59Where can I find the major?
16:02Mrs. Furnald.
16:04Well, you might find him at the Yacht Club.
16:06Thank you very much.
16:18Come on.
16:19Come on.
16:20Come on.
16:20Come on.

16:23The more horsepower I've got, the happier I feel.
16:25I never was much of a canvas man, meself.
16:27Yes, but there's less skill involved, aren't we?
16:29That's the point.
16:30Dabs, I have more time for drinking scotch, though, eh?
16:33Good.
16:39Good.
16:40Uh, there's a small parcel for you, sir, at reception.
16:43Just been delivered.
16:45What, for me?
16:46Uh, yes, sir.
16:47Lucky fellow, nobody leaves me any parcels nowadays.
16:52I'd better go and see what it's about.
16:54All right.

16:57Uh, £1.20, sir?
16:58Yes.

17:04Thank you, sir.
17:05Thank you, sir.

18:15He'd, er, just gone off to reception to collect something for.
18:18Ferno a friend of yours, is he?
18:20Well, he buys me a drink, now and then.
18:23So long as I pay for it meself.
18:25I must remember not letting him buy me one.
18:27He's not in trouble with your lot, is he?
18:30You can't have that kind of thing, you know.
18:31It drags the club down.
18:32But you're a member, Charlie.

29:44My dad was a fisherman.
29:47Bloody people, I don't understand people these days.
29:49I mean, who'd do a thing like this, hmm?
29:53Maybe for the same reason that Stanley Morton was attacked?
29:56Don't be stupid.
29:58Look, Major.
29:59Who are you throwing the muck at?
30:00What?
30:01Is it someone important?
30:03What?
30:03Is it someone important?
30:06Look, Bershike.
30:09Your attitude is uncalled for and intrusive.
30:12I have nothing further to say.
30:13What?
30:16What?
30:33What?
30:35What?
30:36Yes, sir.
30:37Thank you, sir.
30:38You're looking fit.
30:39Still boxing, are we?
30:41Not now, sir.
30:42I still do a bit of weight lifting.
30:44Good man.
30:45This way.
30:56Anything I can do, sir?
30:57I'll only be too pleased to help.
31:00Yes.
31:02Well, the first thing is, you hire a motorbike.
31:11Mr. Cross?
31:15Bureau des étrangers.
31:18Office of strangers.
31:21How very Kafka.
31:26Could you tell me what your interest is in Stanley Morton?
31:31Have I an interest in him?
31:33Well, according to the hospital you have, yes.
31:37Well, you may certainly ask, but I've no intention of telling you.
31:43You're a publisher, aren't you?
31:45Hmm.
31:46Stanley Morton's a writer.
31:48He is.
31:50How did you know he was in hospital?
31:54I don't think I'll answer that question.
31:56Hmm?
31:57He was over here to write a book with Major Furnow.
32:00Oh, yes?
32:01Oh, yes.
32:03And he ended up in hospital because of that book.
32:07Is that right?
32:08I'm not going to answer that question either, Sergeant.
32:13Thank you very much for your corporation.
32:19I'm sure we'll meet again.
32:30That's all right.
32:31Come on, man.
32:33How did you hear about him?
32:35Well, not many secrets on the island, Major.
32:37You know that.
32:38But I must say, you're a dark horse, no mistake.
32:41Listen, I'd be glad to be...
32:43I'd be glad to be keep it to yourself.
32:45Low-profile stuff, you know what I mean?
32:47Oh, aye.
32:47You know what I mean?
32:48Same sort of thing in business.
32:50Yeah, precisely.
32:52Oh, precisely, yes.
32:53But you can't afford to let too many cats out of the bay.
32:58Ah, two large ambers.
33:00Here they are.
33:02Cheers.
33:03Bye-ya.
33:07All right, I'll see to it.
33:09Well, I'll get the next one.
33:11Right?
33:12All right.
33:13Right.
33:13All right.
33:32I'd like you to remember I made him a considerable advance.
33:35I'm expecting a decent return on the investment.
33:39A return of my 6,000.
33:43We wouldn't want to end in court, would we?
33:46Over a breach of contract.
33:50No.
33:53I'm going back to London tomorrow.
33:55I'll tell him I'll see him first thing in the morning.
33:58We must discuss the position.
34:01Think of a replacement of the unfortunate Morton.
34:05I thought perhaps you...
34:11I thought you might wait a few months.
34:14Whatever for?
34:17I hope your husband doesn't have too bad a hangover.
34:42Good.
34:43What?
34:44We could do with some blood.
34:51Hmm.
35:03How's it feel?
35:06It's not too bad, sir.
35:08I made quite a good job of you, didn't I?
35:13Right.
35:16It's up to you now.
35:18You shouldn't have to wait too long before someone comes to your aid.
35:47It's up to you.
36:18So, let's go.
36:22If you have any sense at all, you'll tell him that you don't want to go on.
36:25Oh, bloody dear, Edith.
36:26Of course, I don't expect you to listen to me.
36:28I've got to go on.
36:29But you could give Cross's money back.
36:32Or have you drunk it all already?
36:46There are too many principles at stake.
36:50Principles?
36:52Principles?
36:53Have you got any?
36:54Society has a right to know the truth.
36:58At any cost.
37:00Oh, Gerald!
37:13Right.
37:22Yeah?
37:23Major?
37:27Crozier.
37:28I'd like a word with you.
37:30He tried to bribe me.
37:32He said he was an army officer and it wouldn't do his reputation any good if he got done for
37:37drunken driving.
37:38Oh.
37:39Look, Inspector, this man's lying.
37:41I don't know why.
37:43But I can tell you that I never met him before in my life.
37:47Let alone spoken to him.
37:51He offered me 20 quid.
37:54Major, you've seen the damage to your vehicle.
37:56Major, you've seen the damage to your vehicle.
38:12How do you explain it?
38:13Sergeant Bergerac is not involved in this case, Major.
38:15Oh, no.
38:15But he knows me.
38:16He cannot interfere.
38:18Well, I'm not asking for interference.
38:20I'm asking for assistance.
38:22OK, Charlotte.
38:24Chris?
38:28You'll be kept here until a centenar has charged you, Major, and we'll see.
38:33Oh, bloody dear.
38:36You're suddenly in a damn great hurry, aren't you?
38:38Hmm?
38:38Major Furner, you've had all night to think about it.
38:41I suggest you stop bleating like some hurt schoolboy.
38:44And let's get on with it, shall we?
38:46Look, young lady.
38:47I wish it to be put on record that I object most valiantly to this.
38:51Yes.
38:52Yes.
38:55Yes.
39:00You'll want me back for a hearing.
39:02Yes, but that won't be for a week or two, though, Mr Cropley.
39:04We'll let you know.
39:05Yeah, all right.
39:06I hope your holiday's not a total write-on.
39:08I was going home anyway, but...
39:11Those typed up for me, Charlotte, please.
39:21What's going on?
39:22Your friend the Major ran him down last night.
39:25You what?
39:25Drunk.
39:27He reminded me of you in your days of glory.
39:30Thank you, Barney.
39:30Has he admitted it?
39:31There's no argument.
39:32I've seen the Land Rover.
39:33And I brought Furner in myself.
39:35He could hardly stand.
39:36Can I talk to him?
39:37Out of the question, Jim.
39:39Too many things have happened to that man.
39:40I said no.
39:42Well, can I read Cropley's statement?
39:44I can't stop you, but you'll be wasting your time.
39:48Bureau des étrangers?
39:50Thurner's guilty, there's no question.
39:51And he has only himself to blame.
39:54Jim?
39:55Excuse me.
39:56Yeah?
39:58It's the hospital.
39:59Stanley Morton just died.
40:25I can't help your husband, Mrs. Furner.
40:27It's not my case.
40:31And it will have to be in the papers.
40:33Yeah.
40:34When he gets into court.
40:38Look, it's about time I knew the truth.
40:42Morton.
40:42Tell me about Morton, please.
40:44Now.
40:47He was working on a book with Gerald.
40:49It was all very confidential.
40:52Not confidential enough, maybe.
40:53Well, that was Mr. Cross's fault.
40:55Somebody at the office...
40:58Go on, go on.
41:00Well...
41:01I don't know the details.
41:04But you know enough to be scared, don't you?
41:06What off?
41:07Who is it?
41:09Who's got it in for him?
41:11Gerald, I just won't listen.
41:14Listen to what?
41:16Look, I have to know about the book, Mrs. Furner.
41:24There's already been one death.
41:26How many more has there got to be before someone tells me what is going on?
41:37I...
41:38I think you'd better talk to Mr. Cross.
41:41Furner was in a scouting party led by a Captain Kintley.
41:46There was reason to believe that snipers were hiding in a Korean village they entered during
41:50one patrol.
41:51The inhabitants of the village, mainly old men, women, children, denied it.
41:56Kintley got angry, said he didn't believe them, ordered his men to shoot.
42:00They refused.
42:02So he grabbed a weapon and did the job himself.
42:05Killed all of them.
42:07Including a young woman with babe in arms.
42:11Captain Kintley later became General Sir John Kintley, MC, MP.
42:17Staunch flag waver.
42:19Anyway, as they left the village, the party was ambushed.
42:22All but Kintley taken prisoner.
42:25Most died later in the camps.
42:28By the time Furner got back to England, Kintley was a hero with a political career.
42:33There was very little he could do without appearing spiteful or malicious.
42:37So what's changed?
42:39Kintley is dead.
42:41So why tell the story now?
42:42I mean, you can't hurt dead men.
42:45More to the point they can't hurt you.
42:46It's a good sales proposition.
42:49Especially now there's less threat of libel action.
42:51Someone's trying to stop a book.
42:54Yes.
42:57I'm afraid until now I've rather ignored all that.
43:00But you knew something was going on, didn't you?
43:02I knew the Colonel had seen him.
43:04Colonel?
43:05From his old regiment he came over here two or three months ago ordering him not to publish.
43:09And didn't you take it seriously?
43:11I know it's hardly under orders these days.
43:16Do you want the menu, Jim?
43:18No thanks, Lou.
43:20I've got a plane to catch.
43:24Come on, if it's the four o'clock I'll see you on it.
43:27Won't that be fun?
43:28No thanks, sir.
43:51Thank you very much for seeing me, Colonel.
43:53You've come at an awkward moment.
43:54We're about to go into dinner.
43:56However, do what we can.
43:57Well, I'm sorry.
43:57It won't take long.
43:59To do with Major Furnow, I understand.
44:01Yeah, yeah.
44:01It's about a book he's writing.
44:03Ah, yes.
44:03Pity about that.
44:05Quite undesirable exercise, in my opinion.
44:07If I may, sir.
44:08The man's a heavy drinker, Sergeant.
44:10He's given to flights of, er, alcoholic fancy.
44:14Well, it has to be charitable, Buxton.
44:15He was a prisoner of war for two years.
44:18That doesn't give them a license to destroy a senior officer's good name.
44:21Nor come to that the name of the regiment.
44:24As you can see, there's no high opinion of the Major in this mess.
44:28Furnow was a remarkably dull soldier, Bergerac.
44:31An almost complete failure as an officer.
44:34That soured him.
44:36That and his treatment in the prison camp.
44:38So his story about Sir John was...
44:40A pack of lies from beginning to end.
44:42A product of a sick mind, I'm sorry to say.
44:46Why did you go to Jersey to lean on him?
44:50For his own sake.
44:51I'm very proud of the regiment, Sergeant.
44:54We don't like people trying to discredit it,
44:56neither do we like to see people discrediting themselves.
44:58It reflects badly.
44:59Will he taste the wine, sir?
45:03I doubt if I can help any further.
45:06Major Furnow's not the most fascinating subject in the world.
45:11Good journey to you.
45:13Thank you, sir.
45:14Very much.
45:15Thank you, sir.
45:19Thank you, sir.
45:21Thank you, sir.
45:21Do I have some friends?
45:25I order.
45:28I serve the sergeant down.
45:30Yes, sir.
45:31I serve the sergeant down.
45:45That's General Sir John Kinley, sir.
45:47Fine man.
45:48Oh, yeah?
45:51Sir?
45:52Oh, thanks.
