03:02You really are a great cook.
03:03Breakfasts are terrific.
03:06I'm kidding.
03:07Just kidding.
03:10At least we're all the same weekend off together for once.
03:12Not a lecture room full of post-adolescent werewolves for me tomorrow.
03:20What shall we do?
03:23I'll pick you up around nine.
03:26And, um, I thought we could mosey around the picturesque county of Kent.
03:30The Garden of England and all that.
03:34Oast houses.
03:35Hopfields.
03:36Country pubs.
03:37Real ale.
03:40Hell.
03:52It serves you right for leaving the number.
03:54Yes.
03:56Maggie.
03:58Mike Liebman here.
03:59Lifeline Insurance.
04:02I got something for you.
04:04Drop everything and get round here.
04:07Liebman?
04:07I'm running the police force now.
04:08I don't just drop everything.
04:09You can say that again.
04:11And I don't come round anywhere on a Friday night.
04:14All right.
04:16I'll come round to you.
04:18Wherever you are.
04:19No, you won't.
04:21You'll go home to your wife or whatever else you do.
04:23You won't come round here.
04:25Maggie.
04:28This is a case you don't get every day.
04:32I promise you.
04:37I'll give you five minutes tomorrow morning.

06:39yourself you need protection young man i have been expecting something like this ever since i thrashed
06:45the rebels in zinnia as head of the security forces and then we did our usual about face and turned
06:50them into the government that madman they call president has never forgiven me for showing him
06:57up for the lance corporal that he is i can deal with him with all due respect sir it won't
07:03be
07:03president lloyd mbuto who comes but a skilled professional killer there are those who might
07:10describe me in such terms a soldier is one thing an assassin is quite another mr beaumont i'm not
07:17filling my house and grounds with police in flak jackets carrying small viruses and large guns
07:22i feel a perfect fool i'm quite capable of looking after myself i dare say you are sir but the
07:29home
07:29office has its duty to do too and it would be derelict in it if it did not take precautions
07:39i dare say there is an alternative to wall-to-wall policemen it should suit you very well it's a
07:46clandestine operation covert activities thames section i have heard of something of the kind
07:52it's a small but highly effective operation you wouldn't know they were here i shouldn't say about
07:59that then i have your permission to activate it i like your starboard you do your damnedest but i
08:07warn you i make no distinctions anyone i see lurking around here covert friend or foe it's a dose of
08:15buckshot up the backside if not somewhere more lethal understood perfectly good day general

10:06he's so crooked he has to screw his hat on
10:09you want me to keep up

10:15he'll forget
10:16and he'll get out of that wheelchair

10:41he's just been waiting for the right man for the job
10:43daddy will never stand for me bodyguarding him
10:45good god he thinks the detective agency's a joke
10:48he knew some of the things we really get up to
10:50that's the whole point

11:27lloyd mobuto sent someone over here to take a pot shot at me
11:30oh it doesn't surprise me
11:32i've never heard a man make so much noise eating soup
11:36well we'd better mount up
11:38as dear john wayne used to say
11:42where's my box lock
11:46why you insist
11:48in shooting a gun with one eye closed i'll never know
11:50oh my father did
11:51he was the best shot in england
11:54why is it you always are in every argument with me
11:58probably because i make most of mine up as i go along
12:01on a word to prove man
12:03no of course not
12:04no
12:13i feel absurd
12:16absurd
12:17you're really quite vain aren't you
12:21you honestly expect me to protect daddy in terrain like this
12:24the government has spent a great deal of money on you prudence
12:28you're trained to a hare
12:30you could run down a maasai warrior
12:32that would depend on how good looking he was
12:35seriously it's not on you know
12:36it's you or nothing
12:40very well then but there's one thing i insist on
12:43what

13:25good day sir
13:30they tell me there's some good fishing around here
13:31yes that's true sir
13:33the best stretch belongs to the general
13:34up at the big house
13:35but he's a bit of a terror even if you wet a rod without it by your leave
13:39so if you want to do some fishing there sir
13:41i should have a word with him first
13:42oh i will have a word of the general
13:44can you put me up
13:45yeah i think we can manage that sir
13:47what's the name
13:48van der Waalte
13:49peter van der Waalte
13:51peter van der Waalte
13:52very good sir
14:25uh...
14:32Let's go.
14:56Let's go.
15:26Thank you, darling. Such a sweetheart. Don't you think so, James?
15:31Oh, she's all right.
15:32He does gush, doesn't he? Who's from Aureole?
15:36Let me help.
15:37Oh, it's all right.
15:41Same again, Miss Proulx.
15:43Please, pleasure.
15:48Where's the other face over there?
15:52Come for a bit of fishing, he says.
15:54I told him he'd better have a word with the general.
15:56Do you give him the address?
15:58Aye.
16:00There we are.
16:12Take some time.
16:13I think you spare it.
16:15Well, if it's the only way of being with you.
16:26There's a villain, all right? I can smell it.
16:31That's his wife.
16:33Does she look like a rat?
16:37It doesn't look like a bird with a dodgy back.
16:41Oh, Zach.
17:05Looks like an employee.
17:08It's only a bit of overtime.
17:09Unpaid.
17:11Just like me.
17:16Gonna have a ride out on Conqueror.
17:18She's getting fat.
17:20Darling, do you really think you should?
17:22What?
17:23I'm not gonna have some bird world mugger.
17:27Good idea.
17:28I'll come with you on blaze.
17:30Why not?
17:32Why don't you go too, James?
17:34Get in a spot of pigeon shooting as well.
17:37Aren't you coming, Proulx?
17:39No, I rather fancy a flip in the helicopter.
17:42May I, Mummy?
17:43Of course, darling.
17:44You're a better flyer than I'll ever be.
17:46Oh, I don't know about that.
17:55James, I know this sounds a little odd, but...
17:57Do you suppose you might take a rifle?
18:00The fact is, please don't tell Daddy I told you, but, um, he's had a crank letter.
18:06Some harmless twit, but I would feel better.
18:12Darling, prove...
18:14For you, anything.
18:30I thought I might go in for a spot of pigeon potting, too.
18:34I think John should.
18:36He's getting a lazy eye.
18:40What a mum.
18:56I think you'd better go.
19:00Do let Daddy stay in front of you.
19:01He'll get furious.
19:06She's in half the county knows that.
19:22Come on, old boy!
19:30Come on, old boy!
19:42Jump one hundred times before!
20:02Yes!
20:04What the use do you think I'm planning at?
20:06Take a look for yourself!
20:24I'll take them, sir. Right.
20:28Thank you, James.
20:36Go on.
20:39Dreadful, dreadful people.
20:41That not a good covert activities temp section were.
20:44On the contrary, covert activities probably saved your life.
20:48What are you talking about? You did that, my girl.
20:51Just so.
20:53What the du...
20:54Are you trying to tell me your covert activities?
20:57Part of it.
20:59What about that damn fool detective agency?
21:01It's not damn fool. It's rather good.
21:03But it's essentially a cover.
21:06Did you know about this?
21:07I had my suspicions.
21:09Who else is in it?
21:10A couple of other girls. We're very small.
21:13Girls.
21:15Three girls.
21:20I'm damned if I'm going to be bodyguarded by my own daughter.
21:24And I take grave exception to your joining that kind of operation in the first place.
21:28Women are physically and temperamentally unsuited to stresses of that kind.
21:32In short, they put themselves at risk.
21:34And they're not very good at it anyway.
21:36I know it's bad form to mention it.
21:38But I do seem to remember your saying something about my saving your life.
21:42Oh, yes.
21:43Thank God you had the luck to be up in that machine.
21:45Luck had nothing to do with it.
21:46I realized it was the best way to reconnoiter the countryside.
21:49Did you think of that, General?
21:51Well, I didn't take it very seriously.
21:55Some paranoid gollywood.
21:56For heaven's sake!
21:57There are some of the sharpest, most devious brains in the world out there.
22:00You ought to know you spent enough time fighting them.
22:02Oh?
22:03You always jump that hedge at precisely that spot.
22:06And you're always the first over in any company.
22:08That trap with the stakes, it was an African trick.
22:12I don't see many Bushmen roaming the grounds.
22:16Father, if you're not going to take this thing seriously, they are going to get you.
22:18I mean, that's probably not the only trap they've laid.
22:21I do know what I'm talking about.
22:23And I happen to have spent most of my adult life dodging bullets, shells, mortar fragments, grenades,
22:30and the odd 500 pound bomb.
22:35And I'm damned if I'm going to crawl into my cot and pull the blanket up
22:39because of some fuzzy wuzzy hitman with an acid guy.
22:42You're really beastly when you're racist.
22:44Racist?
22:45The man tried to spit me like a shish kebab.
22:47Surely I'm allowed one mild insult.
22:50I think for the time being you should stay inside the house.
22:54I fancied shooting some clays after lunch.
22:57That's probably what I'm going to do.
22:59John, I really think you should listen to Prue.
23:04Oh, thank God, James.
23:06I am beset by women.
23:07How about a game of croquet?
23:10Come on!
23:12I'd love to.
23:15Excuse us.
23:18Mommy?
23:20Well, you know your father.
23:22Give him a dare and he turns into a macho cartoon.
23:27Do you suppose this ball's going to blow up in my face?
23:30Sorry, sir.
23:33Sorry, sir.
23:34Sorry, sir.
23:35Sorry, sir.
24:17You realize you're a sitting duck out here?
24:20Not so, my dear.
24:24Set.
24:25Set.
24:25Set.
24:26A sharp shooter would have to be quite extraordinary to kill a man to 700 yards.
24:29And a genius to kill him at a thousand.
24:31As you can see, there's no cover for a sniper here.
24:34Pull!
24:48What the doof!
24:52James!
25:02Salmon rod!
25:15Let's go.
25:44That was my birdie.
25:47It was the weight of one of the cartridges. I suddenly realized it was wrong.
25:51Some of these have been tampered with. They must be filled with pellets of plastic explosive.
25:56They mean someone's been in the house.
26:04They mean someone's been in the house.
26:35They mean someone's been in the house.
27:03They mean someone's been in the house.
27:16Face against the truck.
27:18Hands and feet spread.
27:19No!
27:26All right.
27:28Let's start again.
27:29Come on.
27:37You can do with a few like you in Joburg.
27:39Who are you?
27:40My name's Peter van der Waalte.
27:43You're trespassing.
27:44Why?
27:45See the general?
27:47You must be his daughter.
27:49Why didn't you come straight up to the house?
27:51Ah, I'm an old Roebuck man.
27:53I always circle the waterhole first.
27:57Somebody's stalking you?
27:58That's what my back hairs tell me, yeah.
28:01What did you want with my father?
28:02Oh, we're having one or two problems in our part of the world.
28:06You may have heard.
28:07The kind your father's very good at dealing with.
28:09If you'd taken the trouble, you'd have noticed my father has spent his career fighting rebels, not black people.
28:16We South Africans know a real man when we see one.
28:20Oh, God, you're obnoxious.
28:23You better come up to the house.
28:26You first.
28:27At sundown, sweetheart.
28:30After I've shaken the opposition!
28:55I'll be back.
29:23My hero.
29:27Prue, it isn't just some harmless twit, is it?
29:31You were right to know, James.
29:33I'll tell you as much as I can.
29:35You've probably guessed most of it already.
29:37All right?
29:39All right.
30:21You could climb up the train pipe,
30:24and take a snap through the bedroom window.
30:28Last time I was on bedroom duty, I got the wrong couple.
30:31Okay, so what's the next move, Mrs. Holmes?
30:34I don't know.
30:36Frankly, Watson, I'm stumped.
30:39What we need is a devious scheme.
30:43You got one, don't you, Slead?
30:44Yeah.
30:46I suggest we should appeal to his better nature.
30:50No sign of our South African hard man.
30:53Perhaps assassins are like everybody else these days, on strike.
31:10Who?
31:12Turetha!
31:15And watch out for someone.
31:18Who?
31:18Matruta Wakunara, he's here.
31:27Sleeper.
31:35Go.
31:41Talitha.
31:44Heard the name somewhere.
31:48Manibian.
31:49It's one of their Cuban-trained killers.
31:52Matruta and I.
31:55Heard of him?
31:56No.
31:57Well, it looks as if we have two killers, not one.
32:01Sleeper, he said.
32:02We have no Africans in the village.
32:05He needn't be living here.
32:06The question is, did Talitha mean to kill this chap?
32:09Or mistake him for me?
32:11I think he came to get you.
32:13And Vanderbilt, on his recruiting drive, got in the way.
32:16And now we know there are two of them, I really do think we should get some more help.
32:21I think we've got enough power to take care of a couple of Deletho ourselves.
32:26What would the colonel have said, James?
32:30My father would have checked his cartridges and kept it in the family, sir.
32:35Precisely.
32:36Now, can we get rid of this without telling the police?
32:39Yes.
32:40Good.
32:41This is what we do.
32:42Daddy, let me make it quite clear.
32:43I'm in command here.
32:44If you still doubt that, phone Nigel Beaumont at the Home Office.
33:06Help!
33:07Can you help me, mister?
33:09I can't get down.
33:12Gladys, get her down.
33:13Me?
33:14Well, I can't, can I?
33:17Bloody hell!
33:33Don't worry.
33:35Come on in.
33:36It's right in.
33:37No, come on in.
33:38Put your arm round me.
33:39Don't worry about that.
33:40Come on.
33:41Right.
33:42You okay?
33:42Yeah.
33:43You ever thought of joining the fire brigade?
33:47You're a natural.
33:48Come on, lad.
33:49Give me the kit.
33:50What's it?
33:51What's it?
33:52I've got it.
33:53Oh, that's right.
34:07One of these days, Nick Griffiths.
34:09Ah, don't be like that.
34:11Your rear view was a sight for sore eyes.
34:14Suppose I just decided to take off and leave you here, eh?
34:18Oh, you wouldn't do that to a poor cripple, would you?
34:22Nice, kind-hearted girl like you?
34:25Mush!
34:29Is that all right, miss?
34:31No, love.
34:32It's far from all right.
34:34Still, you earned your quid.
34:36Ta.
34:37So he hasn't got a better nature.
34:40What next?
34:44Plan B.
34:45And what's that?
34:49No idea.
34:51Perhaps I'll get one at the bedding office.
34:54Any luck, Nigel?
34:56None.
34:57All the ports and airports are sealed off.
34:59Dulethu doesn't seem to have made a run.
35:01I think my father was his real target.
35:03I think he's still after him.
35:04Or he's simply lying low until we've gone stale.
35:07I'm going to proceed on my assumption.
35:10Prudence, if you find him, he must be a mine of information.
35:15Don't worry, Nigel.
35:16I shall take him alive.
35:18If he lets me.
35:21We have the show at Brighton for the Claydon handicap.
35:24Three to one, Prince Hab.
35:27Four to one, Viceroy, boy.
35:29Eleven to two, Dr. Duck.
35:31Thirteen to two, Shanks' Pony.
35:33Eight to one, Southern Impact.
35:36Ten to one, April Fool.
35:38Fourteen to one, more or less.
35:40Twenty to one, bar.
35:42The SP for the TBS handicap.
35:45Billy's tongue, four to one.
35:47The Dodgers, thirteen to two.
35:50Slip it, ten to one.
35:52Let's have it, then.
35:54Cool.
35:56Freebooted 2.30 at Shepstone.
35:5950p each way.
36:00Oh, last of the big spenders, eh?
36:03That's for my mum.
36:04She's a pensioner.
36:05Oh, well, freeboot is favourite, love.
36:08It's not worth an each way bet.
36:09Oh.
36:11Well, right, then, erm...
36:13Quid to win.
36:15Do you want to pay the tax now?
36:17No.
36:20What's up?
36:22Hey!
36:23You!
36:24You talking to me?
36:27I know who you are.
36:29Clocked you in the Drake's arms, talking to that tick on the hide of humanity Leapman.
36:33You sussing me out, aren't you?
36:35Am I?
36:37Look, if you're hoping I'm suddenly gonna take up my bed and walk, you better join the Seventh-day Adventists.
36:42It's persecution, that's what it is.
36:45Now get out!
36:46Before I have you for harassment.
36:48Let me give you a tip, Mr Griffiths.
36:50Faker's Folly, 4.15.
36:52Doesn't stand a chance.
37:00Well?
37:02You spotted me.
37:05That makes it even more difficult.
37:06No, not really.
37:07You can take over.
37:08You mean, take over the case?
37:10Plan B.
37:12I know what it is now.
37:14Has it occurred to you, Maggie, that he might be genuine?
37:16No.
37:18I suppose he is really disabled.
37:20What you're doing is immoral.
37:22Cheating the insurance is immoral.
37:23Our premiums go up, remember?
37:25Oh, you're still thinking like a copper.
37:27Do you want me to take you back to the poly?
37:30Tell me about Plan B.
37:58What is it?
37:59Sorry.
37:59That was an incredible thing.
37:59For now, the tractor Gordon,
38:15I'm feeling nervous, but I didn't know.
38:15How are we doing all this morning,
38:43So, let's go.
39:07What have you found?
39:10It seems to have been a list of names.
39:12There's only one left that's readable.
39:15Yes.
39:17Toto Wakanari?
39:22Daddy, I really think you shouldn't go on Wednesday.
39:24Rubbish!
39:25Here we're on Maroon Grand. We have the advantage. There we have no edge.
39:28Rubbish again. It's an important passing-out parade.
39:31Maybe those chaps know their stuff.
39:32But it's not their kind of stuff, don't you see?
39:35I have been promised to them for three months.
39:37I cannot let men like that down now.
39:40I do wish you'd listened to Prue, darling.
39:42I'm sorry, my dear. I've never allowed myself to be intimidated in my life, and I'm not about to start.
39:46Very well. I can't stop you going. But I warn you, I shall come with you.
39:50You'll do nothing of a kind. I'm not going to be minded in public by a girl.
39:54I'm sorry. I have the authority to insist, and I do insist.
39:58Very well. Mind me and be damned.
40:01But I'm still going.
40:08Cabin's paper has fallen at the fourth.
40:11And it's not easy, young lofty, outnugent, easy style, and little bit.
40:16Then, Alan's son, the running fly.
40:19It's a foul to go, but not easy, young agent, easy style, little bit, and Alan's son.
40:30...
40:36Oh, no! That's smoke, darling.
40:40Forera!
40:51We***s fiii-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-b Out!ان
41:00Get out of the skin! Get the foot out of the guy!
41:20On the plan C?
41:22Yes.
41:23Well, you can count me out, Maggie. I've had enough.
41:27Okay, I want to go back to the office and we'll drop you off on the way.
41:29No, no, I'll stick around because when you finally realise what a fool you've made of yourself,
41:34you'll need somebody to rub your nose in it.
41:36It won't be you.
41:38If you're right, I'll never forgive you.
41:42Daddy, I think you should stay indoors.
41:45That's what I've told him.
41:47I believe I'll go for a canter if you don't mind.
41:50You've always told me that the only people who know how to command
41:53are those who also know how to obey when it's necessary.
41:57If you've been misinforming me all my life.
42:02Oh, John.
42:06He's got to admit that his spine has totally defeated us.
42:09It's our comeuppance.
42:11Yeah. Cheers.
42:15Are you still absolutely sure that Griffiths is a con man?
42:19I bet my endowment policy on it, with accrued bonuses.
42:24Fred?
42:25What?
42:26Can I borrow a couple of your brothers?
42:28Which ones?
42:29Doesn't matter.
42:30What for?
42:31Something dodgy.
42:34Hmm.
42:36That sounds like draconiva.
42:38I'll give him a bell.
42:47Ah.
42:48Thank you, darling.
42:51Daddy?
42:52Mm-hmm?
42:53You must cancel that inspection tomorrow.
42:55Why?
42:56Because I have a nasty hunch.
42:58Well, I have to do better than that.
43:00I can't.
43:01I mean, I haven't the proof.
43:02And even if I had, you'd never believe me.
43:04I can hardly believe it myself.
43:05It's galactic.
43:07What?
43:09Far out.
43:11What?
43:13Never mind.
43:14Just don't go to the parade tomorrow.
43:16Hmm.
43:17I shall be there on the dot.
43:19So you're on, then.
43:21Try keeping me away.
43:22James, you are ace.
43:24Look, when Daddy gets out of the car,
43:26I'll stick close to him.
43:27I'll have my gun in my handbag.
43:28You flatten out on a roof somewhere with a rifle
43:30and cover the approaches.
43:32That way, if anyone does try anything,
43:33we'll have them braced.
43:35What do you think?
43:37I think you should have been in the army.
43:41Everybody against the wall!
43:43Move!
43:43Or I'll pull you right off!
43:44David!
43:45I'll kill you!
43:49You!
43:50Open the safe.
43:52Don't try to be a hero!
44:23Let him go.
44:24I've got to shoot.
44:25Thank you, Mr. Griffiths.
45:04So, I was wrong.
45:06Now, that I can forgive.
45:09I still don't approve of your methods.
45:11Well, sometimes you have to cut corners.
45:13It's one of the advantages of not being a copper anymore.
45:15You should have stayed in the force.
45:17Why?
45:17At least you were accountable to somebody.
45:19And Griffiths would have got away with it.
45:21So?
45:24Without me, you'd turn into a right fascist.
45:29Let's get back.
45:31I'll show you the error of your ways.
45:34Oh, you're wonderful when you're angry.
45:51Oh, you're wonderful if you're angry.
46:55Good morning, sir.
46:5685-1, senior NCO's course reports and ready for your inspection.
47:00May I have your permission to order arms, sir, please?
47:02Thank you, staff. Carry on.
47:09Order arms!
47:49How long have you been here, Mr. Alvin?
47:5113 years, sir.
47:52All right, sir.
47:54All right.
47:58All right.
48:00All right.
48:37You worked it out, then.
48:45Three words, not two.
48:48It's a name at all.
48:50Swahili for son of the colonel.
48:52Why?
48:55What did my father ever do to the legendary Colonel Latchmere?
49:01It's our near war.
49:06Your father owed a mind to hold out till death.
49:11Precisely what he did.
49:15He was a fantastic man.
49:18In his prime.
49:21It's hideous, but that's soldiering, James.
49:24So is this.
49:28Don't have to wear a uniform now, you know.
49:37I'm going to wear a uniform.
49:37I'm going to wear.
49:47I'm going to wear a uniform now.
49:49I'm going to wear, I'm going to wear that uniform.
49:52I'm going to wear, but it's only, in my hands, I'm going to wear a mask.
49:53Hey?
