01:11That is the car that shoved me off the motorway yesterday.
01:15Different license plate, and I'll swear to it.
01:22Time, 3.31 p.m.
01:37Time, 3.31 p.m.
02:03Time, 3.32 p.m.
02:05I'm going in to see Turson now.
02:22Which car?
02:24The Citroen there?
02:26No?
02:28No.
02:28What's it doing there?
02:29What are all the others doing there, including mine?
02:31You're quite sure that it isn't yours?
02:33Oh yes, sir.
02:34Bought it in an idle moment and forgot.
02:38May we now discuss what you came here for?
02:40Your divorce?
02:42Diamond versus diamond.
02:44My telephone has been bugged.
02:46I doubt if your wife's lawyers would go quite so far.
02:49My flat's been searched.
02:50My phone's been bugged.
02:52And yesterday I was warmed off and kneading the groin by a villain who happens to have parked
02:55his car outside your office.
02:57Not that that implicates you.
02:58That's very kind of you.
02:59Not necessarily.
03:01We made this date on the phone so they knew when and where I was coming.
03:06The car's a reminder.
03:07Trying to frighten me off.
03:09Why should anyone do that?
03:10I'll see them in hell first.
03:12Are you sure you're not seeing them in hell now, John?
03:17Do you think I'm potty, do you?
03:19Well, I think you may be obsessed.
03:21I mean, what happened in Africa's over.
03:23You did the job you were given.
03:24You've succeeded.
03:25More than succeed.
03:26Your articles helped to bring down a corrupt and vicious tyranny by which you were thrown
03:30into jail.
03:31The regime fell.
03:33Your escape was fantastic.
03:35As a result of which you're a public hero and you're entitled to cash in on it.
03:38Oh, incidentally, the bidding on Fleet Street's gone up to 10,000 pounds for your personal
03:44story.
03:45The auction's only just begun.
03:46I'll write my story when my investigation is over.
03:49I could scoot up to 15 or 20.
03:51That'd be for world syndication.
03:53Of course, you'll keep certain valuable properties, such as film rights.
03:56Film rights?
03:57Who do you see playing diamond?
03:58I've always thought I was a dead ringer for John Wayne.
04:00We could call it true muck.
04:02Well, since you mention it, there's quite a lot of true muck flying about.
04:06Your wife's lawyers are changing the grounds from desertion to adultery.
04:10And not with a woman unknown.
04:13No, they've named Valerie Carson.
04:18Do you want that dirty washing on your public clothesline, Honest John?
04:23No.
04:30So, we make a deal, don't we?
04:32Buy them off.
04:33But, what with?
04:34You worried about your costs?
04:36You sell that story.
04:37We'll all cover our costs.
04:38And you'll get 10% of 20,000 pounds.
04:41Very nice.
04:41I'll take 5%.
04:43Look, God damn it, I'll take nothing.
04:44If only you'll see sense.
04:46Have you some other reason for wanting me to write the story?
04:49It'll get you off the hook.
04:50What hook?
04:51Your divorce.
04:53What alternative have you?
04:55You'll contest the divorce.
04:56Oh, no.
04:58You can tell Mrs. Marshall Turner and true love.
05:01No deal.
05:03Desertion I will not defend.
05:04Adultery I will.
05:06Honest John's innocent, is he?
05:09Are you judging me?
05:11I hope my clients tell the truth.
05:13If I know they're lying, I won't represent them.
05:16Do I have to remind you that I'm innocent until proved guilty?
05:19Let them prove it.
05:19That's their job.
05:20They'll find it quite difficult.
05:21I'm a journalist, experienced in confidential matters.
05:24Careful.
05:24It is in your power to make your wife financially safe for the rest of her life.
05:29I think you should.
05:31And it's also in your power to keep Valerie Carson's name clean.
05:35I think you should at least do that.
05:37Since it's her own powers of, well, of attraction are somewhat endangered now.
05:41She knew what she was doing.
05:42She was past the age of consent.
05:44Not quite so past it as you were.
05:59Cheers.
06:01True muck in your eye.
06:03Why not?
06:04I wouldn't give them the satisfaction.
06:06Them?
06:06A few billion people getting a few simple thrills from the exploits of their hero, honest John Diamond, over Kippers
06:11and Toast.
06:12Is that so bad?
06:13Oh, that's interesting.
06:15The Citroen's gone.
06:16But little man on the other side of the street is not reading the paper he's looking at.
06:20I said, is that so bad?
06:22Not them, the men who'd really get the satisfaction.
06:24Who?
06:24The men and the companies who manipulate emerging states to the point of revolution, even.
06:29Oh, my God.
06:30The Martians.
06:31Do one scrap of evidence.
06:33I told you.
06:33What?
06:34Nasty men in disappearing cars, kick up the crutch, flat search, flown tapped.
06:38No, bugged.
06:39So it isn't the yard.
06:40Is it?
06:41Did you think it could be?
06:42Oh, I think anything could be.
06:44Oh, John, you don't get to be a top reporter without making enemies.
06:48I mean, don't you think such things could happen to any man who'd reach your position?
06:50They happen because I went on investigating.
06:52That's the one and only reason.
06:53Did I say obsessed?
06:54Do you want evidence?
06:55What about possessed?
06:56Do you want evidence?
06:57Give me one fact.
06:59One hard fact.
07:02What would you do with the evidence if I gave it to you?
07:04Decide whether or not you're in your right mind.
07:07Maybe I'm not.
07:08Interesting thought, that.
07:10I had quite a bad time in that jail.
07:12I was the only white prisoner.
07:15Lonely.
07:17They beat me up a few times, but it's surprising how you get used to it.
07:20You hear this voice screaming, and you realize with a kind of detachment it's your own.
07:25Write it, John.
07:26Get it out of your system.
07:27Write it.
07:27The reason they kept me alive wasn't because I was white.
07:30They wanted information.
07:31They wanted to know who was paying me.
07:33My articles had done them a great deal of damage.
07:36Too much.
07:36They couldn't believe I was just a reporter.
07:38They thought I was working for international financiers with a vested interest in bringing
07:42down their country, their government, and replacing it with a tame one.
07:46So they're insane.
07:47Good.
07:47Write it, John.
07:49My dramatic escape, which rounds the story off so well for Fleet Street, was a sham.
07:55It was arranged by the villainous Colonel Mabala, whose character I had destroyed in print but
08:00a short while back.
08:01He came to realize that I was just a reporter telling the truth as I found it.
08:04And I began to realize that he was telling the truth.
08:07He gave me evidence.
08:09Nothing conclusive.
08:11Just unrelated bits and pieces.
08:13But enough to make me feel in my very bones that I'd been a dupe.
08:18I'd been fooled.
08:19The whole revolution had been engineered by vast business interests outside that poor
08:23damn country.
08:25Some of those companies and the men behind them are in this country.
08:28They're the murderers of tens of thousands of men, women, and children.
08:33Wogs, of course.
08:34So who cares?
08:40Well, I care.
08:42Then I'm going to find out who those men are.
08:46How's that for the diamond in Africa story?
08:48Oh, by the way, did you read the papers this morning?
08:54Colonel Mabala has been killed by the new regime.
08:58Well, beaten to death by an angry mob.
09:03I hope they got their promised handful of rice for their pains.
09:06Small item.
09:10Josh, go on.
09:11I'm listening.
09:12If, and I say if, there's any truth in what you were told, it's difficult to believe,
09:16then the interest involved may, just may, touch on security.
09:20Which, if you get enough evidence to write your story, it would have a D notice slapped
09:24on it straight away.
09:26More than likely.
09:26It wouldn't be published.
09:27That's right.
09:28So you'd have wasted your time.
09:29No.
09:30No, no.
09:31Well, what then?
09:32There are other countries with other papers who would like the real truth.
09:36Oh, my God.
09:38Do you realize what self-in...
09:39Look, write the story Fleet Street wants.
09:42It's a bad bloody lie.
09:43The story the public wants, the story they'll pay for.
09:45And you won't represent a client you know to be lying, remember?
09:50Think of yourself, then.
09:51Are you sure you're not thinking of yourself, Mark?
09:54What do you mean?
09:55Smart lawyer like you, on retainer to some pretty big companies.
09:59Don't be absurd.
10:00You represent the interests of some very important men.
10:03Look, I'm telling you, no one man can take on what you're trying to.
10:05Perhaps some of the men I'm looking for.
10:07Drop it.
10:08For your own good.
10:09Ah, key phrase.
10:11Do you know where I hear it?
10:12Do you know where I always hear that phrase, Mark?
10:13From people who have something to hide.
10:14People who will not tell me what they know for my own good.
10:16Well, do me no favors, Mark.
10:17I've been starved, thrown into jail, beaten, made to watch other people die,
10:21and now someone's trying to kill me here, in England.
10:23So if you're going to tell me anything, I'll tell you a few names.
10:24Look, steady, Barry.
10:25Tell me.
10:25Tell me.
10:26Tell me.
10:42I'm, I'm frightened for you.
10:48Diamond versus diamond, eh?
10:51Do you know what that really means?
10:54You versus you.
10:58I'm, I'm frightened for your mind.
11:09You must keep things tidy.
11:16You must always leave things tidy.
11:25Get yourself another lawyer.
11:28You won't find it too difficult.
11:30What you won't find so easy is finding another friend.
11:34Any friend.
11:35All friends are liars.
11:36Friendship is organized lying, like organized crime,
11:40which can also have its own good intentions.
11:45But I want the truth, Mark.
11:47And if you are part of that truth,
11:49then I want you to.
12:14Oh, Mr. Slater, I must see you.
12:16Yes, yes, sir.
12:17Just, yes, sir.
12:19Yes, sir.
12:20Slater.
12:26Appointment today, 6 p.m.
12:53Citroën's still not returned.
12:55Interesting.
12:57On the other side of road,
12:59man's still not reading the newspaper he's holding.
13:02Hmm.
13:03Time, 3.47 p.m.
13:08He's trying so hard not to watch me,
13:10it's obvious he's watching me.
13:13So, cross the road,
13:15into my car,
13:18out the other side,
13:19and then nil.
13:34Person!
13:35Did you see that?
13:48You!
13:50I beg your pardon?
13:52Give your bosses a message.
13:53Tell them,
13:54tell them I'll be seeing them.

16:11Yes?
16:12Miss Carson there, please.
16:14Who wants her?
16:14Is she there, please?
16:16No.
16:16Can I take a message?

27:57and sell it to
27:57waddington's wouldn't get as much as the diamond in africa story of course but it's better than
28:00nothing and your lawyers would see that you got your cut you have to move out she left you because
28:05you were always away isn't that right first time pass jail and move on to regent street purchase it
28:10with alimony silly little bitch well you are a reporter you always will be didn't you realize
28:17well did you always i didn't like it i hated it but i knew what i got till i haven't

28:24that is well seem that it's inadvisable for you to leave just now to say the least
28:33would you like a drink no thank you well don't be shy it's my bottle i paid for it well
28:39yes all right then it wasn't very tactful of you shoving me in the bedroom by the way i'd have
28:45felt more
28:46at home in the kitchen you always were more at home in the flaming kitchen and not in the bedroom
28:50here drink it the bedroom was nearer that's all oh it tastes of disinfectant do you know what it is
28:59yes it's vodka and it still tastes of disinfectant here i'll put some orange juice in it oh don't
29:03bother a cup of tea will do oh the flaming kitchen again now here drink it down
29:20well well it just tastes of orange juice now so what's the point well is there anything
29:23around in getting a buzz on from something that tastes like orange juice no no of course not
29:34yes very nice shall we have another i'll put the bloody kettle on did you pay for that too no
29:42then i'll have another of these please
29:50so those men out there want to kill you do they i think it's wise to proceed on that assumption
29:55why
29:57because and there's nothing funny about it i can assure you oh sorry
30:03well let's start from the beginning why do they want to kill you they're being paid professionals don't
30:09ask questions well who's paying them that's what i want to know well why should anyone want to see
30:14you dead to stop me writing my story is it that important well what is it the less you know
30:23about
30:23it the better i spent nearly 20 years knowing less for better and see where it got me but that's
30:30all
30:31different now isn't it we're on the same side for a change nice feeling
30:37well i mean you want to write your story i want you to write your story and they want to
30:41stop you
30:42there are two different stories they'd like me to write the one you want written and you make a lot
30:46of money out of it but it's a pack of lies and i won't do it so you're out of
30:49luck there joyce
30:53what's the other story that's none of your business oh yes it is it is my business money that's what
31:00i
31:00want well don't look so surprised it appears to be the sort of thing you expect of me money money
31:07money well like them i want pain now get away from that window oh i'm in no danger get away
31:14they won't
31:14harm me john on your side me i'm on theirs aren't i i think it's probably wise to proceed on
31:19that
31:19assumption too suing you for divorce naming that little bitch as correspondent well desertion's one
31:24thing i might have driven you away but adultery knock a hole in your honest john image wouldn't
31:30it adultery with a girl half your age well that's why you don't want your girlfriend sighted not for

34:13five thirty four p.m. still no communication between occupants of two
34:17cars it's possible that the Citroën is not connected with the situation it
34:21could be just a coincidence how long you prepare to stay about the choice I've
34:26no right to detain you since when did you need a right to do what you want
34:29particularly to me I've been detained nearly 20 years you can go if you want
34:33into the jaws of death well it would solve a lot of things they won't touch
34:38you I wasn't sure at first but you're right John why did you see what I've been
34:44wondering is whether all this is true or whether I'm going out of my mind I've
34:49been wondering that myself until that phone call well couldn't there been
34:52another reason for that what and why is it still outside well I don't know what I
34:56was gonna say was why don't you phone the police no why not too simple no are you
35:01too proud no well why not then the answer will convince you I really am around the
35:06twist what is it you sure you want to hear there's been a day of surprises because
35:10it's possible just possible that those fellas down there are police I told you
35:18you would ask you could always divorce me on grounds of insanity that might be the
35:22best way out police themselves trying to kill somebody well would you have
35:25believed it there are different sorts of policemen than the ones you'll find at
35:28the yard policemen the yard don't even know about all in the name of security
35:33security I used to be a great believer in security till I found out who was
35:36manipulating those African countries the deeper I got involved the more I got to
35:41know of the dark and dirty monster I was tracking and it is a monster the more I
35:47goaded it the more monstrous it became then I realized that this monster called
35:51security stood guard at the gates of more than the national security to keep
35:55alive companies which own companies which own companies which own you and me
35:58so they can make arms deals with emerging African countries so they can get
36:02concessions from that same state do they make so much profit they can buy that
36:06bloody country by you by me by anyone they want well I'm not for sale that's all
36:13now you tell me am I mad I don't know what you'd call it you are what you are I
36:19sometimes wish I wasn't would you what go on ask me what you like let's have a cup of
36:27tea I told you I didn't buy the kettle oh to hell with that
36:55I wish you wouldn't stare at me I always remember it I know I always was too much at home
37:00in the
37:01kitchen no no I was thinking that horse that Terry painted does he still have
37:06it on his bedroom wall yes you get that new kitchen table by the way oh well it
37:11doesn't look so new now no it would you please stop staring at me I was just
37:26wondering did I make sense just now what I was saying yes well good remember it and
37:32perhaps you'd explain it to me when I have one of my turns I get these funny
37:34turns now and again when I don't understand it you mean you want to see me
37:38again is that what I meant well not before the divorce it wouldn't be ethical would it
37:49well the sugar's in the jar marked flower
38:01would you please stop staring at me
38:06I know I haven't got a pretty dressing gown like the one I saw in the bedroom
38:10I haven't got a see-through nightie to wear underneath it I don't smell that perfume I
38:13nipped on her dressing table did you pay for that too well I can't afford things
38:18like that and it wouldn't make any difference if I could because I'm 38 and
38:22she's 22 and if you don't stop staring at me I'll throw this bloody teapot at you
38:374 40 p.m. no change Joyce's being here has thrown them I'm not sure whether I'm glad or
38:42sorry about that anyway it's obvious they're waiting for orders from one

39:57always the gentleman i'm sure no insult was intended assuming that we get through this alive your
40:05presence here which has been most helpful and truly grateful but your presence here could be
40:09compromising to say the least in terms of a divorce that is if i chose to pursue it your case
40:14could
40:14well be thrown out of court oh but you wouldn't do that not unless you really meant to come back
40:18to
40:18me can you be so sure that i don't mean to well thank you for that john i remember it
40:24but before
40:26you put your big horse foot in it and spoil it all again you can't come back because i don't
40:31want you
40:32i'll give you all the help i can but don't try and come back i've learned to live with myself
40:37now i
40:37might even learn to live with somebody else but not you may i ask out of mere curiosity why not
40:46yes
40:48i used to think the trouble was your work well it was of course it was worse than another woman
40:52because even when we were alone together that bloody phone would go and that was that i felt shut
40:57out just shut out well today i've been shut in for the first time in all these years i've stumbled
41:03in
41:03on the act and done well joyce and now i don't want to know because now i know you i've
41:08seen you
41:08at work and i don't want to compete you're too big too important even more important than i thought you
41:15were but as a matter of fact i'm rather proud of you but i don't want to live with you
41:21again
41:52it's all the same with you i'll go in the bloody kitchen
42:11yes i want to see mrs dan well come on in the doors open
42:31oh right now who sent you i wish to see mrs die names names i'll twist this arm off and
42:37hit you
42:38who sent you names names oh my god all right all right i'll tell you marshall turner and true love
42:46grazing square london wc2 well so who are you witherspoon private detective
42:54employed by marshall turner and true love frequently and if i may say so i i'm not unused to being
43:00assaulted but rarely twice on the same day by the same man may i now see mrs diamond joyce
43:09tarzan here is a private snoop from your lawyers i've never seen you aren't supposed to see me mrs
43:15diamond i'm paid to protect your interests as discreetly and invisibly as i can may i now ask
43:22you to accompany me where anywhere you like but here you must not be seen with your husband to the
43:29courts it would smack of collusion and if there were witnesses that's why i tried to make you see
43:33sense on the phone why were you following me well not to put too fine a point on it
43:41my employers felt that the evidence of adultery could stand a little strengthening
43:45so i was retained after your first brutal attack upon me you're aware of the law common assault of
43:51course it occurred to me that you might have taken yourself off to the abode of your mistress
43:56when i arrived outside imagine my distress when i saw mrs diamond at the window hence my telephone call
44:02oh i'll forget your language mrs diamond let me simply say that until the new divorce law
44:12comes into operation in january 1971 which makes any the total breakdown of a marriage the only grounds
44:20for divorce we must proceed on present lines which makes any liaison between yourself and your husband
44:24at this time totally unthinkable so will you now accompany me without your husband as i said before
44:31and will you mr diamond be good enough to remain where you are until we're safely out of sight
44:35and keep your fists in your pockets until then
44:40mrs damm this is no laughing matter will you now accompany me
44:45oh john you can come back any time you like so long as you promised to tell me about a
44:53day
44:53when a citroen had the craze in it and this fellow was the mad axeman
44:59i say i have no alternative but to wait until this unseemly hilarity ceases
45:06i'm sorry mr diamond will you please try and explain to your wife
45:13any suggestion of any liaison between yourself and her if witnessed perhaps i should add i noticed a
45:19very suspicious looking pair of gentlemen watching this house i couldn't make a move until they went
45:23wait they were the mafia didn't you know on their way back to sicily by now isn't that so john
45:33so it would seem will you now accompany me before anyone else arrives
45:39john all right i suppose so
45:49yes all right diamond you can come out when you want just thought we'd make you sweat a bit
45:55that's enough for today go home and get some sleep happy dreams
46:03well she's not here she'll be back on friday all right goodbye
46:14well there's no point in staying here any longer shall we go the three of us together never do
46:19oh don't be so toffee-nosed there are no witnesses now go and look i must insist i'll
46:24see you and my wife safely to your car all right it isn't all right oh come off it just
46:29across the
46:29road must see to my wife's safety i wouldn't rest easily in my mind oh very well but only to

49:20his
49:20deranged mind that I really am part of the great conspiracy frightened into his insane trap
