00:00The End
03:10Is anyone sitting here?
03:13Come on, John. Smile, can't you?
03:17Smile?
03:18Common expression of pleasure when friends meet each other unexpectedly.
03:22Why are you here?
03:24I had to see you.
03:25Why?
03:26Something's come up.
03:28Could be important.
03:50It's non-stop, you know, two and a half hours, intercity, heart to heart.
03:55Very funny.
03:59I don't understand.
04:01What?
04:02You.
04:03What's the matter with you?
04:04I'm tired.
04:05I'm going to sleep.
04:06That's what journeys are for.
04:07Nice, long sleep.
04:23You're breaking the law, Mr. Tesson.
04:25What?
04:26Put it out, please.
04:27Put it out?
04:32Since when have you been a non-smoker?
04:34Always on trains.
04:35Can't stand the smell of other people's stale tobacco.
04:38You're in for a rough journey, aren't you?
04:40Me snoring, no cigars.
04:41You should have stayed at home.
04:42We've got to talk whether you like it or not.
04:44Later then.
04:45I'm much too tired now.
04:45It's important.
04:47Hang on a bit.
04:48How did you know I was here?
04:50Who told you I'd be on this train?
04:51Oh, yes.
04:52Interesting, that.
04:53Well, there I was, sitting at home, idly watching the telly.
04:57And what should arise before my astonished eyes?
05:00Don't tell me.
05:01Those taking part in our discussion program on the New Africa include that well-known, bloody-minded journalist.
05:07You must have been surprised.
05:08Impressed?
05:09I was really impressed.
05:10There's no need for that.
05:11I'm cheap, you see.
05:12£25 plus expenses.
05:13I wouldn't get Malcolm Muggerich for that.
05:16So I rang them up?
05:17Them?
05:18Who's them?
05:19The TV people.
05:20Ask them when you'll be travelling up.
05:22Clever, resourceful.
05:24Why tonight?
05:25Why not tomorrow morning?
05:26Oh, they want to record it early.
05:28Some MP bloke's got to get back to London.
05:31Oh, yes, I can see it all.
05:33The start of a new career, eh?
05:35Pundit Diamond, the instant opinion man.
05:38I don't have instant opinions.
05:40No?
05:40Only about you, of course.
05:41I think you're a pain in the arse and a bloody nuisance.
05:43Pack it in, John.
05:44There's a good shout.
05:46What do you want me to do, apologise?
05:48I don't care what you do.
05:49Oh, my God, it's you who should be apologising to me.
05:52People always think apologies make everything fine and dandy.
05:55I'm sorry, they say.
05:56The slate's wiped clean, a nice big kiss and cuddles all round.
06:00Why are you here?
06:02I've told you.
06:03Something's come up.
06:06Gentlemen, dinner will be served in just a few moments.
06:09All drinks and snacks available at the bar.
06:15Excuse me, sir.
06:16It is Mr. Diamond, isn't it Mr. John Diamond?
06:20It is, yes.
06:21I thought so.
06:22I saw you at Euston, sir.
06:24Recognise the face.
06:25Did you really?
06:26Oh, yes, sir.
06:26It's quite a hobby of mine, sir.
06:28Recognising celebrities.
06:29We get quite a few on this run, you know.
06:31Do you?
06:32Mostly from the world of entertainment, though.
06:33Not a man from real life like yourself.
06:35Would you mind closing the door?
06:36Of course, sir.
06:37Absolutely.
06:38As a matter of fact, Mr. Diamond, I follow your stuff very closely.
06:44My stuff?
06:44I read it very seriously.
06:48And I find it full of colour, full of atmosphere, and full of incident.
06:54Never a dull moment.
06:55I'll say that about you, Mr. Diamond.
06:57Never dull.
06:57Thank you very much.
06:58There is one thing, though, that I feel I have to say.
07:02Would you take a word of advice from an ordinary bloke like myself?
07:05I seem to take advice from all sorts of people these days.
07:07Well, it's this.
07:08I think, I honestly believe with all my help, that we've heard quite enough about Africa, sir.
07:15Oh?
07:16Well, it'll do you no good in the long run.
07:19Now, look.
07:20I'm an ordinary, everyday fella.
07:23Like most of the people who read you.
07:25And we are fed up to the teeth with all this chat about Africa.
07:28Look, what does it mean to us about this fiddling little country, 3,000 miles away, whatever it's called.
07:34But everybody's on about it now.
07:35What does it concern us?
07:37But it does concern us that it encourages certain people in this country to get above themselves and make a
07:44nuisance of themselves.
07:46Yes?
07:47I think we've had quite enough about the blacks, Mr. Diamond.
07:49More than enough, if you ask me.
07:51Is that so?
07:52That is so.
07:54Well, that's my opinion.
07:56Well, every man's entitled to his own opinion, I suppose.
07:58That is true, Mr. Diamond.
07:59That is absolutely true.
08:01Well, perhaps, gentlemen, I'll see you both later on for dinner.
08:05Perhaps.
08:05And if there's anything you want in the meantime, don't hesitate to let me know.
08:10Dog of instant opinions.
08:13Some journey.
08:14Cold train, fascist waiter.
08:16And you chasing around after me, nagging on about my divorce.
08:19It's not your divorce.
08:20You're my solicitor.
08:21Don't forget, I pay you.
08:22It is not about your divorce.
08:24I've come here to help you.
08:27I'm being followed.
08:28Yes, I know.
08:28You've told me.
08:29The men in the white citron.
08:30And you.
08:31Me.
08:32You're here.
08:32You're following me.
08:33Well, just to talk.
08:35I wonder.
08:36Wonder what?
08:40I tell you, Mark, ever since I got back home.
08:42Home, he calls it.
08:44Ever since I got back from Africa to this green and pleasant land, there's been trouble.
08:47All this divorce crap, for one thing.
08:49And now those jokers who shot with a spoon.
08:51They were shooting to kill, and I was the target.
08:52Yes, yes, I know.
08:53Oh, good, good.
08:54I'm glad that sunk in at last.
08:56And I'll tell you something else, Mark.
08:59I'm afraid.
09:05I confess it freely.
09:07At least I think it's fear.
09:09It's like a coating on the skin.
09:11Something you can't rub off.
09:14Scaly.
09:15Waking and sleeping.
09:16Not of me, though.
09:18You're not afraid of me.
09:25He can't ignore this feeling of unease.
09:28And Mark, Mark Turson, what about him?
09:31In his office yesterday afternoon, I noticed.
09:34Notice what?
09:36A sense of strain?
09:37Tension?
09:38Does he know more than he's telling?
09:40Could be.
09:41Yes, could be.
09:43Better watch him carefully in the future.
09:46You're out of your mind.
09:48Oh, for God's sake.
09:49I was frightened when you came in through that door, just...
09:52Oh, man.
09:52Why shouldn't I be?
09:53You tell me that.
09:53Why should I not be afraid of you?
09:54Well, we're supposed to be friends.
09:55Friends are people you trust.
09:56I don't trust anybody these days.
09:58Nothing more.
09:59You're a fool.
10:00Stupid, neurotic fool.
10:02What a terrible phrase, Mr. Turson.
10:04Like the last line of some crappy bee picture.
10:06Clattering with insincerity.
10:08I mean it.
10:08Do you indeed.
10:09That's why I came to warn you about it.
10:11That's why I went to all this bother.
10:13Warn me?
10:13What about?
10:14Those men in that car.
10:15What about them?
10:16Well, if they tried to kill you once, they'll almost certainly try again.
10:19I hate to disappoint you, old love, but that thought had already crossed my mind.
10:23And you know why, don't you?
10:24Why?
10:25Why they're after you?
10:26Africa, of course.
10:28Fearless John Diamond tells all.
10:29Power and politics, corruption and commerce.
10:32Exactly.
10:33Now, listen.
10:33I had lunch with a friend of mine today.
10:35Simon Brenner Jones.
10:36Lovely name.
10:37And what he said will really notice you.
10:55Sorry.
10:55Sorry.
11:07No smoking.
11:13I say, how about a drink?
11:14I'm parched.
11:16You go ahead.
11:17I'm fine, thank you.
11:18I suppose we can wait.
11:29Joyce said she had a nice long talk with you the other day.
11:32Joyce?
11:33Your wife?
11:34She rang up.
11:35You're supposed to be acting for me, not my wife.
11:37She wanted a copy of the lease, something about the roof.
11:41Oh, what did she say then?
11:43Well, just that you'd had a nice long talk.
11:47Yes, yes, yes.
11:49I'm glad.
11:50Oh?
11:51I'm glad you're still able to talk to each other.
11:54It wasn't a very fruitful conversation.
11:56Bloody disastrous, as a matter of fact.
11:58Even so?
11:59Even so what?
12:02Nothing.
12:03You're not trying to play Cupid, are you?
12:05No, no, no, of course.
12:05Well, don't.
12:07Don't.
12:13Oh, you're a funny fella.
12:16Strange, unhappy muddle.
12:18My God, you're full of these dreadful platitudes, aren't you?
12:22Like some cut-price Christmas cracker.
12:23If only you'd admit that you might be wrong.
12:26About Joyce?
12:26About anything.
12:27Oh, come off me, Mark.
12:28I'm in no mood for your homespun philosophy.
12:30It's too tedious for words.
12:31You were happy then, though, weren't you?
12:32Happy when?
12:32With Joyce.
12:33You must be joking.
12:35Cooped up in that miserable house, in that miserable street.
12:38A sheer bloody murder.
12:39You've no idea.
12:39Well, perhaps you have.
12:40Well, it's the same for thousands of others.
12:42Well, I am not thousands of others, thank you very much, and I don't want to be.
12:46Well, that's your trouble.
12:48Puffed up with your own self-importance.
12:49But what is all this?
12:51Joyce and I finished years ago.
12:52You ask her.
12:53It happens, you know, people do change.
12:54Yes, but...
12:55Yes, but?
12:56Not like you.
12:57You turn your back on everything that's gone before.
12:59Well, is that bad?
13:00Of course it's bad.
13:01Why?
13:02Because it means you're afraid of the past.
13:03Afraid to recognize your own mistakes.
13:06That's ridiculous.
13:07Is it?
13:08You mean to say you're happier now than you were with Joyce?
13:10That's not the point.
13:12It's very much the point.
13:14Just because you can write reasonably well and you're paid more than most, you think you're
13:17something special.
13:18You think you can treat people like dirt and get away with it.
13:21Sometimes I think it's all an act, this fearless John Diamond.
13:24Some sort of defense mechanism to protect a lonely, frightened little man that sits inside
13:29your skull.
13:29You're getting quite poetic this evening, Mark.
13:31I really am rather impressed.
13:33That's right.
13:34Put up the shutters.
13:34It's all defensive.
13:35Let's pack it in, shall we?
13:37We'll embarrass our companion.
13:39Which means I'm probably embarrassing you.
13:40Yes, you are.
13:41I've had enough.
13:42You're giving me a headache.
13:45Do you still love her?
13:47I don't even like her very much.
13:49And she hates me.
13:52Rotten bastard, she yelled at me as I ran off down the street.
13:55The local residents must have been quite startled.
13:57She looked so pure and talked so dirty.
14:10She told me what happened.
14:13No doubt your middle class morality was shattered at the idea of a man like me using his wife
14:17to protect his own worthless skin.
14:19I dare say my middle class morality needs a good shattering from time to time.
14:33I wonder where he's gone.
14:35Mm-hmm.
14:37Comes in here five minutes after the train's left the station.
14:40A good five minutes.
14:41Settles himself down.
14:43And now he's pushed off again.
14:45Perhaps you're right.
14:45Perhaps he was embarrassed.
14:47Not him.
14:47He was fascinated.
14:48Hiding behind that magazine, his ears flapping like mad.
14:51Well, if he's feeling anything like me, he's probably gone out for a smoke.
14:54Maybe.
14:55Or dinner.
15:03Well, let's find out, shall we?
15:04What?
15:05Let's see if he's in the dining car.
15:07What on earth for?
15:09Curiosity.
15:09Interest.
15:10Besides, I'm hungry.
15:12Oh, yeah.
15:16This way, I think.
15:18Hey.
15:19Why not?
15:19I can get it off my expenses.
15:21Ah, ha, ha.
15:43Welcome, gentlemen.
15:44Oh, Mr. Diamond.
15:45Yes, yes.
15:45Come this way, please.
15:47Will this be all right for yourself?
15:48Yeah, fine.
15:49Now, Mr. Diamond, may I take your port, sir?
15:53Well, gentlemen, we shouldn't be too crowded tonight, so you'll be able to eat your dinner
15:57in peace.
15:58Let's hope so.
16:04Thank you, sir.
16:07Thank you, sir.
16:08Now, gentlemen, would you like a drink before you order?
16:11Mark?
16:12Here's olive scotch, please.
16:13Two miniatures.
16:14Two miniatures, sir.
16:15Water, ice, soda?
16:17Just water.
16:17You'll earn from me.
16:18You, sir?
16:21Well, he's not here, is he?
16:23Who?
16:23Our embarrassed companion.
16:25Wasn't in the corridor either.
16:27Well, say what?
16:27He's probably just gone for a pee.
16:29He's probably just gone for a pee.
17:11And beef for you, sir?
17:14I think so, boy.
17:24And beef for you.
17:25No, no, no.
17:26A salad for you, sir.
17:56Potatoes for you, sir.
17:57Just a few, please.
17:59Just a few, sir.
18:02Oh, that's him.
18:02Would that be all right for you?
18:03I have potatoes for you, sir?
18:05No, thanks.
18:06You're all the same these days.
18:08All, my gentlemen, sir.
18:10All watching their weight.
18:11That's him.
18:12All watching their weight.
18:13Wasn't the ladies.
18:14I remember when I first started on this run,
18:16we used to get through about...
18:17Perhaps we can have some horseradish sauce.
18:18Horseradish sauce, sir.
18:19At once, sir.
18:22So, tell me about your friend.
18:25Friend?
18:25The one with the lovely name.
18:27Oh, Simon.
18:28Oh, he's a stockbroker.
18:30What else?
18:31Hmm?
18:32What else could he be?
18:33Simon the stockbroker.
18:34Oh, yes, yes.
18:35Well, anyway, he's very bright.
18:37He seems to know what's going on.
18:38Lucky Simon.
18:39He hears the whispers
18:41in the city.
18:42What sort of whispers?
18:44I believe you sing, I think.
18:45I doubt it.
18:46Oh, I think we would.
18:48All the laddish sauce.
18:51Yes, it's a fascinating place, the city.
18:53There's more to it
18:54than chinless wonders in bowler hats.
18:56Power, it's on.
18:57That's what the city's all about.
18:58Power and influence.
19:00I believe.
19:01And Simon knows it more than most men.
19:03He's studied it.
19:05He understands it.
19:06He knows the language.
19:07The language of power?
19:08Oh, that's right.
19:09I mean, if you know what you're looking for,
19:11if you follow the market,
19:12the ups and downs,
19:13the deal, speculations and so on,
19:14well, it's not too difficult
19:15to make certain reasonable assumptions.
19:18Such as?
19:19Political assumptions.
19:21Politics and money
19:21are tied together, after all.
19:23I mean, no matter how much
19:24a particular country
19:25may wish to keep
19:25its political manoeuvres hidden,
19:28more often than not,
19:28they're given away
19:29by the fluctuations
19:30of investment and trade.
19:32Yes, that makes sense.
19:33Providing, of course,
19:33you know the city.
19:34You know it bloody well.
19:36Like your chum Simon?
19:37Like my chum Simon, yes.
19:39So?
19:41Well, the financial markets worldwide,
19:43you can't expect to cover it all,
19:45so you specialize.
19:46For example,
19:47Simon specializes in Africa.
19:49New Africa.
19:52Yes.
19:52Yes.
19:52Yes.
19:53Yes.
19:54Yes.
19:55Yes.
19:57Yes.
19:59Yes.
20:00Yes.
20:01Yes.
20:06Yes.
20:11Yes.
20:12Let's go.
20:56Stop waffling, Mark. Get to the point.
20:57I am not waffling.
20:59All solicitors waffle.
21:00God, this brief. Just look at it.
21:02Look, he knew all about you. He knew you'd been to Africa.
21:04He knew about the articles you'd written. He knew you'd been in prison.
21:07Thrown into jail is the phrase, not into prison.
21:09Thrown into jail suggests daring adventure, wrongful arrest.
21:13Been to prison is just a trap.
21:14Let me get on with it, please.
21:16What's your food like?
21:17John, it's important.
21:19Sorry, sorry, sorry.
21:20Look, he thinks the same as you do, this friend of mine.
21:22He's reached the same conclusions.
21:23About what?
21:24About this revolution, coup d'etat, whatever you like to call it.
21:27He thinks it was rigged, a put-up job.
21:29What did I say? What did I say the other afternoon?
21:31Yes, but you hadn't any proof, had you?
21:32Has he?
21:33Well, not proof exactly.
21:34What then?
21:35Well, this Colonel Mbala, he was chucked out of the country because it was going bankrupt, right?
21:40Because he'd mismanaged the economy.
21:42So they said.
21:43Right.
21:43Well, the point is, John, the point is the economy collapsed, not because he mismanaged it,
21:49but because a whole crowd of foreign investors suddenly withdrew their money.
21:53Mbala gets the push, and a new lot moves in.
21:55And back comes the money overnight.
21:56Well, first they take their money out for no apparent reason, and then they put it back.
22:00For no apparent reason?
22:01Well, not unless they wanted Mbala out in the new lot in.
22:05And that's what Simon thinks, yes?
22:07Yes, sir, yes. It makes sense, all right.
22:09There's a lot of loot in Tabanga. Gold, manganese, bauxite.
22:13Perhaps there's more than we realize.
22:14A great deal more, according to Simon.
22:16See, somehow Mbala got wind of this, and he started to draw up plans to control the mining concessions.
22:21Well, he wanted to channel some of the money off into his social program, hospital schools, and so on.
22:25Yes, he would, poor old sod.
22:27Now, look, suppose the investors saw trouble ahead.
22:30They'd make a deal with the military skinheads.
22:33We'll help you get rid of Mbala if you played ball with us, yes?
22:36Yes.
22:39It's not so simple, this Simon, working all this out for himself.
22:43Oh, he's clever, all right.
22:45And he's worried, too.
22:47Worried about you.
22:48Me? Why should he be worried about me?
22:52Well, Simon thinks if they're prepared to get rid of a government,
22:55we wouldn't think twice about getting rid of honest John Diamond.
22:58That's what Simon thinks.
23:00All right.
23:04All right, come on.
23:05All right.
23:07All right.
23:16All right.
23:19He's old.
23:20All right.
23:21All right.
23:23All right.
23:27Here we go.
23:27There we go.
23:29There we go.
23:29Jesus.
24:14You will, won't you?
24:16What?
24:17Take Simon's advice, it won't take mine.
24:19Leave it alone.
24:20There's no point of risking God knows what for well you know.
24:23But a bunch of bloody wogs.
24:24I don't mean that.
24:25I don't care what you mean, Mark.
24:26Look, I'm not planning a campaign of banner-waving do-goodery.
24:29I'd just like to know.
24:31The whole situation is pregnant with the most delightful possibilities.
24:34I mean, these mysterious money men,
24:35they couldn't pull off a trick like this without friends in the government.
24:38Well, a government department, anyway.
24:39Leave it alone.
24:40Wouldn't be the first time the government's been involved after all.
24:43Look at Drake and Raleigh,
24:45and all those po-faced Victorians handing out their Bibles
24:48with a text in one hand and a whip in the other.
24:49Then along we come, the new colonisers,
24:51carving up a country, grabbing what we can,
24:53using politics this time.
24:54I'm not God to justify our greed.
24:56Keep the Reds out of Africa.
24:57That's the war cry.
24:58You're well out of your depth, John.
24:59Stick to writing.
25:00You're a journalist, not a politician.
25:02I do believe you're frightened, Mr. Turson.
25:04Frightened?
25:05When I came back from lunch,
25:06my knees were knocking together.
25:08I tried to ring you straight away,
25:09but you weren't there.
25:11Unlike you, Mark.
25:12What is it?
25:13All this impulsive activity.
25:14You ring up a TV company,
25:16make all these arrangements,
25:17dash onto trains at the last moment?
25:18Well, the whole bloody thing, John, like me.
25:20Meaning what?
25:21Meaning that I'm a reasonably conventional,
25:24reasonably predictable sort of person.
25:26All this talk of conspiracy is a way outside my orbit.
25:30I sometimes wonder whether conventionally predictable people
25:32are as conventional and as predictable as they pretend to be.
25:34Now, gentlemen, I am very sorry to meet you, Mark,
25:36but look, we're running short of space.
25:38Would you mind if I set somebody here?
25:39Oh, no, no, no, not at all.
25:40Well, the other afternoon,
25:41you didn't want to talk about this Africa business.
25:43And now suddenly, hey, presto, it's all important.
25:45Because of Simon, so you say.
25:47You can't open your mouth about being rude, can you?
25:49Bloody rude.
25:50I didn't ask you to come here.
25:51Here we are.
25:53Thank you very much.
25:54Thank you very much.
25:56Our pleasure.
25:59Well, gentlemen, can I get you anything else?
26:01Yes, coffee for me, please.
26:02Coffee?
26:02Just coffee.
26:03And, madam, would you like a drink before you order?
26:07Yes, please.
26:08Gin and orange.
26:08Gin and orange.
26:13Have you known him long, this Simon?
26:15Oh, yes.
26:16Only for years.
26:17You think he's honest?
26:18God, yes.
26:19He have to be in his job.
26:20I didn't mean that.
26:21Well, what then?
26:22Are you sure it's me he's worried about?
26:25It could be he's trying to warn me off for his own reasons.
26:27He scares you, you scare me.
26:29He wouldn't do a thing like that.
26:29Why not?
26:31Not the type.
26:32Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
26:33No, he's not.
26:35He's sort of dull, really, I suppose.
26:37I've always found him rather dull.
26:38Pleasant, but boring.
26:41He wouldn't think I'm a devious scheme like that.
26:42Someone could have suggested it.
26:44Not a chance.
26:46Why not?
26:47Not the type, I suppose.
26:49Doesn't fit into your idea of a grafter.
26:52Too nice.
26:53Decent chap.
26:54Wouldn't let the side down.
26:56I bet you'd be surprised how many Oxbridge accents you'd find in Her Majesty's prisons.
27:00Poor old Mark.
27:01Always and ever the sentimentalist.
27:04Enjoying that, are you?
27:05Not too bad.
27:08Yes, one of these days I'll have to take you to Africa.
27:10Go to one of these official cocktail parties.
27:11Some huge chap will come along, black as your hat, dressed in ceremonial robes.
27:15Mr. Turson, I'll say, this is the Prime Minister.
27:17Oh, not him, you'll say.
27:18He's not the type.
27:19All right, John, you've had your little joke.
27:21Well, you asked for it.
27:22As far as I know he's not informed, and as far as I know he's not the type, right?
27:26Huh?
27:27Well, perhaps I'd better meet him.
27:29Simon, why?
27:31I'd like to ask him some questions.
27:33Clear up a few loose angles.
27:35Just take my advice, John.
27:36Forget it.
27:37Please.
27:37Easier said than done.
27:39Better get a shorter room, dear.
27:43Thank you very much.
27:45Now, let's give you your gin and orange.
27:56Oh, dear.
27:57All right.
27:59Is that enough?
27:59Thank you very much.
28:01Gentlemen, your coffee.
28:02Black or white?
28:04Um, black, please.
28:05Black, sir.
28:07Yeah.
28:10And for you, sir?
28:11Same again, please.
28:12Uh, thank you very much, sir.
28:20No, madam.
28:21You'll, uh, you'll have the beef, will you?
28:23Yes, sir.
28:23And, uh, what would you like to start with fruit juice?
28:26Could you ignore a thing like this?
28:27Indeed I could.
28:28Only too easily.
28:29I bet you could.
28:30It's asking for trouble.
28:31That's what it is.
28:33You can count me out.
28:34I'm having nothing more to do.
28:35All right.
28:36You just arrange an introduction with Brenna Jones, and then you can creep away and forget
28:39all about it.
28:40I will.
28:40And fast.
28:47Great.
28:47That's all we needed.
28:53Why have we stopped?
28:55I don't know.
28:57So much for your intercity heart to heart.
28:59Huh.
29:13What time is it?
29:29What time is it?
29:47What time is it?
30:13I do so hate it when they stop like this.
30:17What?
30:19I always think something might crash into the back office.
30:21Oh, there's nothing to worry about.
30:23Most unlikely.
30:25Signals, you see, they're automatic.
30:27I still don't like it.
30:29Especially at night.
30:31In the middle of nowhere.
30:33Like a cigarette?
30:35No, I don't.
30:41Damnation. Well done, Mr. Tess.
30:43I'm so sorry.
30:45Oh, I shouldn't have put it there.
30:47It's very, Laura. It's entirely my fault.
30:49Oh, I am so sorry.
30:52Look, can I get you another drink?
30:55Look, it's all over your coat.
30:57So it is at the last.
30:59Oh, and cold water's no good.
31:01No, it's sticky, you see.
31:03Drink. Hot water's better.
31:05Waiter!
31:07Look, I'll take it to the loo.
31:08There's hot water there.
31:09Is there?
31:10There should be.
31:11Don't bother, Mark.
31:12Don't bother.
31:12It won't be a minute.
31:13It's my fault.
31:16Mine, I think.
31:21It must have dropped out of your coat.
31:25Yes, it must have been done.
31:28Yes, it must have been done.
31:55It must have been done.
31:56It must have been done.
32:03I'll take it to the loo.
32:04It's wet.
32:15Too hot.
32:17It must have been done.
32:18The Vice President's last weekend.
32:18Oh, yeah.
32:19Very hot.
32:20It must have been done.
32:20Whoa!
32:21It must have been done.
32:22That was the best.
32:23No, it was just one.
32:30What the hell are you doing?
32:31I saw you with my friends bang, going to a compartment with...
32:33Oh!
33:12What's your turn thinking about rolling in hand?
33:14Well, after our last few minutes...
33:32Yes, sir?
33:33What is it?
33:34Your ticket, please, sir.
33:35Thank you, sir.
33:48Just a minute, sir.
33:50You'll need this to come back.
33:52Yes, of course.
33:57Hang on a minute.
33:59Sir?
34:02Forget what time the train gets in.
34:0510.17.
34:06In about 25 minutes.
34:09Of course.
34:15Would you like a drop more coffee, sir?
34:17Yes.
34:19Why not?
34:24Thank you, sir.
34:30Your friend's a long time.
34:32Sorry?
34:33Cleaning the coat.
34:36Ah, yes.
34:36Well, not a very good housewife.
34:39Limited experience.
34:39Yes.
34:40I think he's all right.
34:44I think he didn't come to much harm where he's gone, can he?
34:47No, I suppose not.
34:55Waiter, hear the bell, please.
34:57Very good, sir.
35:35What the hell have you been doing?
35:36I thought you'd never get here.
35:38What is here?
35:38What's the matter?
35:40I've killed him.
35:42Killed him?
35:44I couldn't help it.
35:48Killed who?
35:52Look.
35:54God almighty!
35:57He attacked me.
35:58What?
35:59Well, I saw him with your bag, and I asked him what he was...
36:03And he knee-ed me, and I hit him, and I hit him again, and I...
36:07Did anybody see you?
36:09No, no, no one.
36:10He is dead.
36:12I think so.
36:13Thanks.
36:34I...
36:34I must have had his head like a basin, huh?
36:38Yes, he must have been.
36:40It was...
36:41It was pure self-defense.
36:44Of course it was, Mark.
36:46Nobody's gonna think you killed him on purpose.
36:51Should we stop the trade?
36:52I don't know.
36:53Call the guard or something.
36:54Just a minute, McCoy.
36:54All right, big one.
36:57We'd better find out who he is.
37:00No, don't, don't, don't!
37:01What?
37:01You can't touch him.
37:03What do you suggest?
37:03Pull this up together, Mark, for God's sake.
37:05We've got to find out who he is.
37:13Well, well, well.
37:19Exhibit A.
37:20Is it...
37:21Is it loaded?
37:22Very much, sir.
37:25I think we'd better hang on to this.
37:26I think we should.
37:27Well, he doesn't need it anymore.
37:29It may come in handy.
37:38This is what he was after.
37:39Huh?
37:40Tobonga, you see.
37:41Material from my program Tobonga.
37:43Could be a coincidence.
37:45Oh, come on.
37:49Oh, come on.
37:49Well, well, well.
37:50Look at this.
37:51John Lewis Diamond.
37:53Marcus Tillerson.
37:56And Joyce.
37:58What's Joyce got in your hands?
37:59She's your wife.
38:00She's still your wife.
38:01That's true.
38:03No indication of who he is.
38:05I don't know what's coming.
38:06Billy, sir.
38:15I've been looking for you.
38:18For me?
38:25Here's my address.
38:27Do let me know if your coat has to be cleaned.
38:30I'd like to play.
38:45Oh.
38:51Well, there's only one thing to do, isn't there?
38:52I don't know.
38:54I'm not sure.
38:55If we tell the guard, there'll be troubled police.
38:57That's the last thing I want to do.
38:58We must tell them about them.
39:00About you and about the man and the man.
39:01About what, Mr. Jason?
39:03About the accident.
39:05Yes, yes.
39:05You could tell them that.
39:07You want to make sure that you're in the clear, don't you?
39:09That nobody gets the wrong idea.
39:11Well, not just that.
39:12What then?
39:13Well, we ought to.
39:14It's the only thing to do with...
39:15And what about the rest of it?
39:16The rest of what?
39:17Witherspoon.
39:18Africa.
39:18The Articles.
39:19Your clever chum, Simon.
39:20You think you should tell them about that, too?
39:22Yes, yes, I do.
39:25Why not?
39:26Why can't we?
39:27It doesn't make any difference that you're innocent, of course.
39:30That won't keep your name up.
39:31It's too good a story, Mark, and I should know.
39:34London's solicitor claims self-defence in lavatory killing.
39:38It's definitely.
39:39That's what you want.
39:42You'd better stop the train.
39:43No, wait, wait, wait.
39:48He could get rid of it.
39:50Huh?
39:50Push him off the train.
39:51I'm not serious.
39:52I know.
39:53You can't do a thing like that.
39:54It looked like an accident, no trouble.
39:55Look, he's dead, isn't he?
39:56Calling the guard isn't going to bring him back to life.
39:58That's not the point, John.
39:59All right.
39:59You know it's not the point.
40:01Last call for dinner.
40:02Now's your chance.
40:03Tell the mick.
40:04Last call for dinner.
40:07Last call for dinner.
40:09Last call for dinner.
40:10Last call for dinner.
40:10Oh, I beg your pardon.
40:11Mr. Diamond, I was hoping to bump into you.
40:14You did.
40:15Sir?
40:16Bump into me.
40:18Oh, yes, sir.
40:19Look, sir, I was wondering if you'd do me a small favor.
40:22Would you mind signing this card for me?
40:26I have quite a collection of them at home, sir.
40:28Menus signed by the famous, as you might say.
40:31Famous, then, am I?
40:32Oh, well, perhaps not famous, huh?
40:34But well-known.
40:36I'd say you were definitely well-known.
40:40Oh, thank you, Mr. Diamond.
40:41Thank you very much indeed.
40:45Nothing wrong, is there, sir?
40:46Wrong?
40:47You look a bit groggy.
40:49Aye.
40:50It's the train.
40:51Not very good on trains.
40:52Oh.
40:53Oh, well, look, if there's anything at all you want,
40:56now don't hesitate to let me know.
40:58You know how I want to do it.
40:59Pleasant journey, then, gentlemen.
41:01Last call for dinner.
41:04Last call for dinner.
41:07Last call for dinner.
41:10I don't want any trouble.
41:12I don't want to get involved.
41:14All right.
41:15Come on.
41:21I can-I-I can't touch him!
41:25Get the door!
41:30All right.
41:31All right.
41:40All right.
41:41All right.
41:42All right.
41:44All right.
41:44All right.
41:46Come on, come on, come on.
42:31Come on, come on.
42:45You're sick.
42:46You're sick.
43:24You're sick.
43:25You're sick.
43:53You're sick.
43:53You're sick.
43:57You're sick.
44:22You're sick.
44:37You're sick.
44:39You're sick.
45:09You're sick.
45:10You're sick.
45:33You're sick.
45:36You're sick.
45:38You're sick.
46:02You're sick.
46:05Look at this.
46:08He's broken it, the bastard.
46:10He bought that in Zurich.
46:12He can't get them in this country at all.
46:24A mistake, John.
46:27We shouldn't have done that.
46:29Not much choice, really.
46:30What do you mean, not much choice?
46:32You know what the police are like?
46:33They trample my story into the dust.
46:34Your story?
46:37Do you mean you're going on with it?
46:38Of course.
46:39After all this?
46:40What else?
46:42That's why you made me.
46:43Yes, yes.
46:44I'm sorry.
46:45I thought you understood.
46:46Oh, my God.
46:49Look, Mark.
46:49The police start asking questions.
46:51We tell them what we know, what we think we know, what then.
46:53We can't prove anything.
46:55The opposition will cover their tracks in next to no time.
46:58One accidental death and one broken razor.
47:00That's all that'll be left.
47:01This way it stays open.
47:02You dragged me into this, haven't you?
47:04Right up to the bloody neck.
47:07The only thing I came to warn you about.
47:10I should have stayed at home, shouldn't I?
47:11I should have realized what I was doing.
47:13Must warn John, I thought.
47:15Straight away.
47:16Never stopped to realize.
47:20I didn't expect any thanks, anyway.
47:22Not from you.
47:23Never from you.
47:25Thank you, Mark.
47:26I'm very grateful.
47:38So, what do we do now, eh?
47:40Nothing.
47:41Just sit and wait for it to try again, eh?
47:45Yes, you sleep.
47:46Sleep, I can't sleep.
48:01Did you say he was coming out of the toilet in my case?
48:04Hmm?
48:06Yes, I do.
48:08Why go all that way to go through it?
48:10Why not go through it here in the compartment?
48:13Well, I suppose he must have thought someone would have seen him.
48:16A man opening a case, nobody would think twice a while.
48:19Or what, then?
48:22I don't know.
48:57Yeah, I don't know.
49:19It seems as though they'll stop at nothing to get rid of me.
49:22It should be.
49:23We'll do that.
49:24That's a lot of us.
49:36We'll do that.
49:40We'll do that.
49:59We'll do that.
50:22Let's see.
50:24Let's see.
50:26It should be.
50:40Yeah, I think you better keep this.
50:43You may need it.
51:29You may need it.
51:31You may need it.
51:34You may need it.
51:41You may need it.
