00:02Nicholas Thorne, a games tycoon, has been forced to play the one game by Magnus, his former business partner.

00:10Magnus has stolen 2.1 million pounds from Nicholas' company, Sorcerer, and kidnapped his ex-wife, Jenny.

00:18Sorcerer's finance director, Tom Dark, has approached business rival, Lord Main, for cash to bail out the company, in return

00:25for a partnership for himself.

00:28Nicholas and his girlfriend Faye follow a clue to a forest where Nick fights Magnus and is forced to recall

00:34his hidden past.

00:56Si el mar en sola, tu olvides en malos, te une en calma.

01:22Si el mar en sola, tu olvides en malos, tu olvides en malos, tu olvides en malos, tu olvides en

01:30malos, tu olvides en malos, tu olvides en malos, tu olvides en malos, tu olvides en malos, tu olvides en

01:32malos, tu olvides en malos, tu olvides en malos,

01:38Oh, my God.

02:06Oh, my God.

02:09Oh, my God.

02:23Oh, my God.

02:44Faye!

02:51Faye!

02:53Faye!

03:00Faye!

03:02Boo!

03:05You do look smart.

03:07Thanks. What are you doing out here?

03:09My constitutional, of course.

03:10Oh.

03:12Well, I want to get back now.

03:13Whatever happens next, it can't happen without you, can it?

03:17Right. So let's go.

03:34Oh.

03:50Oh.

03:55Oh.

03:56Bit of fun and games.

03:58I know what the next game is.

04:02It involves a car crash and two dead bodies.

04:04Oh.

04:20Oh.

04:22Oh.

04:24Oh.

04:27Oh.

04:29Oh.

04:30It's a murderous thorn.

04:33For someone to go to such lengths to get it to you.

04:35And why?

04:38Because of a bit of sharp business practice?

04:41Piece of common old garden ruthlessness?

04:45Amazing, isn't it?

04:46We're still in the real world, you know.

04:49You could just walk into a police station, end all this nonsense.

04:52Give up.

04:55No way.

04:58What about the company? What about the money?

05:01What about Jenny?

05:03Oh, you remembered.

05:06I don't need this, Faye. Not from you.

05:22No way.

05:28Check out the car.

05:36Keep going into town.

05:38Please?

05:40Pilgrim.

05:44It's the name Magnus used when he took the money.

05:48It's from our first game.

05:50Sorcerer.

05:55Maybe we can get ahead of the game.

06:01I have to go.

06:06You don't need a good job?

06:07No way.

06:12What?

06:24There's a little I can go.

06:26There's more that you can go out there.

06:38Oh, my God, I'm sorry.

06:43Oh, my God.

06:44Oh, my God.

06:46Oh, my God.

06:50Oh.

06:56Oh, my God.

07:31Oh, my God.

07:33Oh, my God.

07:34Oh, my God.

07:37Oh, my God.

07:45Oh, my God.

07:46Magnus.

07:49You've put things inside my head.

07:52I don't know.

08:33Oh, my God.

08:52Oh, my God.

09:15Four marks for trying.

09:17Personally, I prefer to put my feet in logs.

09:27So, this is it.

09:31What?

09:32The Holy of Holies, where it all happens.

09:38I've waited a long time for this.

09:41What do you mean?

09:43You don't realise, do you, Nick?

09:46I've never been here before.

09:49It's just the office, for Christ's sake.

09:57No!

10:00No!

10:01No!

10:04No!

10:05No!

10:06No!

10:08No!

10:11Was it just the office for Jenny?

10:16No.

10:17Oh, she was part of it.

10:20Magnus wanted her in from the beginning.

10:23Thought we made a good team.

10:25I didn't think she'd want to.

10:28Home business was doing well by then.

10:31But Magnus insisted.

10:40He had a feeling, he said.

10:43A feeling she'd agree.

10:48And he was right.

10:51Jenny sold up and came in.

10:5250-50 deal.

10:55Less than two years later,

10:56we were the biggest independent fish in the pond.

10:59And that was when the trouble started.

11:01Trouble?

11:03Yeah.

11:06Magnus' games.

11:07They were getting so bloody complex,

11:09he needed a PhD to understand the rules,

11:11let alone play them.

11:14Jenny tried to get him going on computer games.

11:16Those were just getting going then.

11:18But he hated it.

11:20Nothing to do with magic, dear boy.

11:24And this...

11:28was the result.

11:33Sorcerer Mark II.

11:38Sheer bloody lunacy.

11:40We were that close to going under, for good.

11:43What did you do?

11:45What was best for the company, of course.

11:49Brought in the money men.

11:51Grey Suits Incorporated.

11:53Had to give them majority control, in theory at least.

11:55I had it all in hand.

11:57Cheer up, will you?

11:59It's all over by the signatures on the cheque.

12:02We should have told Magnus.

12:04I haven't seen him to tell him.

12:07He decides to disappear for weeks on end to lick his wounds.

12:10It's up to him.

12:12If you hadn't sided with him on the update of that game,

12:14we wouldn't have to do this anyway.

12:19And how did Magnus fit in with all this?

12:22He didn't.

12:24He was out of time.

12:26Wasn't the age of Aquarius any longer,

12:27but he didn't want to know that.

12:28He was a liability.

12:29So what happened?

12:33Told you.

12:35You went nuts.

12:45Magnus!

12:46Stop it!

12:47Stop it!

12:48Stop it!

12:53Stop it!

13:19Stop it!

13:22Come on.

13:24Come on!

13:29I don't think you need to go looking for the next clue.

13:32I think it's found you.

13:34Did you just switch that on?

13:36No.

14:10Good afternoon.

14:14So glad you could drop in.

14:23I'm afraid it's my secretary's lunch hour, otherwise I could offer you, er, coffee or something.

14:29Still, can we make a start?

14:54So, what's the proposition you want to make?

14:59Join me.

15:00In what?

15:02Some private vendetta against sorcerer?

15:06Sorcerer is incidental.

15:10The target is Nicholas.

15:14Yes, just because he got rid of you when you weren't any more used to him.

15:18Don't waste your paranoia.

15:20Nick treats everyone like that.

15:24I'm stuck.

15:27I can't do it.

15:30But you're doing so well.

15:34If you won't take my advice, you can't expect my help.

15:37Can't I?

15:38Your company's going down the drain.

15:41Your ex-wife's been kidnapped.

15:42Don't you just go on solving the clues and playing the game.

15:45You're doing fine.

15:47Dear Jenny's up to her neck in this.

15:49She always was.

15:50I don't worry about her.

15:52And if you're not going to help me, then just get out of the way!

15:58Fair enough.

16:17He's a lunatic!

16:19He wants things to be the way they were.

16:21He wants me to admit I can't do without him.

16:24He's dear boy.

16:25Well, I'm not a boy any longer!

16:28Not his, not anyone's.

16:29And the only way I can give him the lesson he bloody well deserves is to beat him!

16:33Every time!

16:34Every game!

16:38It's making you worse.

16:40Not better.

16:51All right!

16:54So, I'll be waiting.

16:55All right!

17:00All right!

17:15Frankly, I'm not convinced that you could run Sorcerer any better than Nicholas does.

17:20And this whole plan to destabilize the company, to be honest, it's pretty crazy, isn't it?

17:28Not to mention illegal robbing Sorcerer of a couple of million quid.

17:33But that's taking deregulation to something extreme, don't you think?

17:36Even in today's enterprise culture.

17:39Nonsense. It happens all the time.

17:43There's a difference between outright theft and classified policy on fiscal transfer.

17:51Excellent, Tom. Exactly what I need in a managing director.

17:56Thanks.

17:59But no thanks.

18:04Don't bother to, uh, walk me to the door.

18:20Give my regards to your next appointment.

18:29No thanks.

18:31Oh, my God.

19:16Eight of the eight, 80.

19:33Eight of the eight, 80.

20:06Eight of the eight, 80.

20:08Eight of the eight, 80.

20:2925 pence for a cup of tea.

20:36There's not much point in that, is there?

20:38Beg pardon, sir?

20:40Well, there's nowhere around here you can get a cup of tea for 25 pence.

20:44Not true, sir. Not true at all.

20:46I know the place.

20:48Oh, really? Where?

20:51The church, sir.

20:53Surprise, surprise.

20:56Well, I tell you what, I quite fancy a cup of tea myself. We're going together, shall we?

21:01Bless you, sir. You're a gentleman.

21:03Of course.

21:04Follow me.

21:24Ah, good afternoon. I was wondering where you got to.

21:29I don't think we've seen you here before.

21:32Actually, I have been here before.

21:34I was married here.

21:40Oh, boy.

21:42Okay.

22:14Everything all right?

22:16Yes, so far.

22:18Anything I can do for you?

22:20You tell me.

22:52Oh, what's wrong with Jerry, sir?

23:05You'll have to wait a moment. There are others who haven't even had it.

23:08Bugger that. I want another cup of tea.

23:14What's up?

23:15The game. Come on.

23:18Vicar.

23:21Like to make a donation?

23:23It's most correct.

23:24Cover a few costs.

23:26I'll take care of this one.

23:31Come down. We're in St. Man.

23:34What's up? What's up?

23:35It's not secured yet.

23:37Come on.

23:38You're going to lead me straight to Magnus.

23:42Run it over. Run it over.

23:46My cup's full of money over.

23:49Since the Lord saved me, I'm as happy as can be.

23:53My cup's full of money over.

23:57Here you are.

23:58Vicar.

23:58Here you are.

24:00Hold on to him.

24:01We're different.

24:07Be careful.

24:09Please take care.

24:11Don't say to me.

24:13Don't ask him.

24:15Hold on.

24:18Come on.

24:20Move!

24:20All over.

24:22No.

24:23Leave me in.

24:25Give him down to the middle.

24:27Voy the fuck.

24:29Get down.

24:30Hey, look!

24:31Look around now, boy!

24:32Hey, look!

24:36Hey!

24:44Go!

24:45No!

24:47Go!

24:49Go!

24:50Go!

24:51Go!

24:52Go!

24:53Go!

24:54Go!

24:58Forbid your sake, ma'am, jump!

25:30Oh, my God!

25:48Hell but blind man, sir. Twenty-five pence for a cup of tea.

25:51You're not bloody likely.

26:46Come on!

26:51No more running around in circles. I'm going after him.

26:54Very good, sir. Over the top at dawn.

26:57Yeah.

26:59Over the top.

27:31Ah, Tom. Pour me a brandy, will you?

27:36Wednesday. Good work on that thrust.

27:49Time, my boy. Have one yourself.

27:57Now, you said you had things to report.

28:02Magnus sends his regards.

28:05That's nice of him. Who the hell's Magnus?

28:09Nicholas's old associate. The game's inventor.

28:12The one who went loopy years ago.

28:15What's he sending me his regards for?

28:17Well, he's trying to take over Sorcerer.

28:20He's the one who stole the money.

28:22He'd tell you that? Really?

28:25You didn't know anything about this?

28:28No. I have to say that I didn't.

28:32But I am delighted to hear about it.

28:35It's going to make things even easier.

28:42Have you spoken to your board?

28:45What?

28:47Oh, yeah.

28:49What's the plan exactly?

28:51Hmm?

28:52I think we should discuss the next move.

28:58You're naive, Tom.

29:00Your biggest fault.

29:02You think of yourself as a businessman.

29:05Businessmen don't deal in numbers, Tom.

29:07They hire chaps like you to do the sums, not the thinking.

29:11Business is war.

29:12War needs generals.

29:14I'm a general.

29:15Nicholas Thorne's a general.

29:16I'd give him that.

29:17But you, Tom?

29:19You're a quartermaster at best.

29:21What exactly does that mean?

29:23It means that I have done what you came here yesterday to suggest.

29:28I've launched an offensive.

29:30The best kind.

29:32The kind the enemy hasn't even noticed.

29:34This time tomorrow,

29:36barring misfortunes of war,

29:39sorcerer will belong to me.

29:41We made a deal!

29:42Got that in writing, have you?

29:44Don't worry, Tom.

29:46I'll get somebody to write you a reference.

29:48It won't be altogether glowing.

29:50I dislike deserters.

29:52But it'll be a damn sight more than you'll get from Nicholas Thorne

29:55once he catches wind of what you've been up to.

29:58Come on!

30:18My offer's still open.

30:22Fay?

30:24Allow me to make the proper introduction.

30:29What's up?

30:30Are you sure this is all right?

30:32Absolutely.

30:33Just gonna pick up a couple of things.

30:35I'm surprised he didn't phone you to confirm it.

30:38You know, women.

30:40Yeah, I'm all right.

31:25I don't know how to do it.

31:26I don't know how to do it.

31:27I'm sorry.

31:34Sorry about that.

31:38Didn't ever do the arm lock, did I?

31:40Yeah, I'm fine.

31:46So what are you doing here?

31:48Looking for Jennifer.

31:49She's disappeared.

31:52How do you know?

31:53We were going away together for the weekend.

31:55She was travelling down on Friday night

31:57so that we could leave yesterday.

32:00She didn't turn up.

32:02Oh, I see.

32:04She was meeting you.

32:05What do you know about it?

32:07Oh, I just came by to pick some things up.

32:12Don't tell fibs, mate.

32:14Please.

32:15You know exactly what I'm talking about.

32:18How do you make that up?

32:20Look, if you want to play the innocent,

32:22get yourself some new lines.

32:24It's shock horror when you're told

32:26your loving ex-wife's disappeared

32:27and indignant questions to the present incumbent

32:30like how the hell did I get in here

32:31without the guard knowing.

32:37How the hell did you get in here

32:38without the guard knowing?

32:46Security around here is a bloody joke.

32:50So?

32:52What's happened to Jennifer?

33:03What happens here?

33:05More lunacy?

33:08You should join in.

33:10You don't know what you're missing.

33:38Now we are six.

33:46It sounds to me like your all-time nutter.

33:51There's more to him than that.

33:54We'll see.

33:57How does he get all these people to play along with him, anyhow?

34:02That was the whole theory behind the reality game.

34:06The whole world becomes a game, don't you see?

34:10But what if some people don't want to play?

34:13Most will.

34:15It's only an extension of real life.

34:18After all, we're always playing roles, changing the rules to suit ourselves.

34:25You give people a chance to do that on a grand scale, they'll jump at it.

34:32Terrific theory.

34:33I think it's more than a theory.

34:37I'd be interested in a game like that.

34:42Might not be his anymore.

34:45Still, it's the only place I can think of for clues.

34:49This and Jenny's flat.

34:53Nice little hideaway.

34:54Yeah.

34:56See, the only remotely predictable element in this whole thing is the past.

35:01He's obsessed by it, so he's using it again and again.

35:06Why didn't you do this from the start?

35:08I know.

35:09Stupid.

35:09Just playing it his way.

35:10His rules.

35:12Not anymore.

35:13I know.

35:16I know.

35:21What's the law?

35:23I know.

35:24I know.

35:25I know.

35:37I know.

35:38I know.

35:39It's not very smart.

35:40It's very smart, is it?

35:40Don't worry about that.

35:42Where's the kitchen?

35:44Down here.

35:46Why the kitchen?

35:48We're looking for signs of life, aren't we?

35:50People have to eat.

36:10Hmm.

36:12Clean as a whistle.

36:15Not even my wife could have improved on this.

36:17They've been here all right.

36:19I didn't know you were married.

36:21My wife's dead.

36:23Huh.

36:25Sorry.

36:27So am I.

36:34They're not all gone.

36:36This is fresh.

36:59You okay?

37:04What do you do for a living?

37:06I'm a businessman.

37:10I'd run an outfit that looks after people.

37:14Come on.

37:20Look, I don't think we're going to find anything here.

37:24Suit yourself.

37:28Look, Jennifer's a prisoner somewhere in the hands of some nutter.

37:31If you think she'd ever take part in this sort of caper willingly, you don't know the first thing about

37:35her.

37:38The thing is, I think she's still in love with you.

37:44It's the only reason I can think of for her not marrying me.

37:48And don't think she wasn't asked.

37:53Don't think she wasn't asked.

37:54Don't think she's still in love with you.

38:31This bed's been slept in.

38:33I know.

38:34How many times do I have to say it?

38:36She's not a part of this.

38:45What makes you say...

38:46Get back!

39:01Get back!

39:08Megan!

39:09Oh, man!
