06:43she's 30 minutes late where's she got to
06:46ah
06:48oh
06:58Oh!
07:21Shut up, Samantha. Look what you made a lady do.
07:50Officer, please, help me. There's something in my drink.
08:05Yes? I have no idea where she is.
08:17I suggest you both go home.
08:23We go home. I'm getting big, bad vibrations. I mean, she always shows up.
08:41The doctor's report says pulse rate regular, blood pressure average, everything normal.
08:48He thinks the trouble may be mental exhaustion.
08:51Can we go and see her?
08:52No, not yet.
08:53Mental exhaustion? Why?
08:56Who knows? Overwork, perhaps.
08:58So what do we do?
09:00Report at the desk. Take routine duties for a few days till we know more about her condition.
09:14Get me Miles Bennett, the department psychiatrist.
09:32What can you tell me about her?
09:34Ex-police, high achiever. Hardly foot wrong since she joined the department.
09:38Except for this last business. Perfectionist who can't handle failure.
09:42Of course. You've diagnosed her immediately.
09:46Where shall I send the bill?
09:53And where do you think you're going?
09:55I must see Nigel. It's urgent.
09:57Back into bed, please.
09:57No, leave me alone. I last seen Nigel. I remembered.
10:00They put something in my drink.
10:03Now let's get back into bed, shall we?
10:04I must let Nigel know what happens.
10:07Nigel?
10:08Who's that? Your husband? Husband?
10:10No. Look. It's important.
10:14You must know.
10:17You must know.
10:20What's her security clearance?
10:21The highest.
10:24On the night she cracked up,
10:26she was meant to make a collection from a dead letterbox.
10:30Big stuff.
10:31Very.
10:31Our man at the Soviet trade mission was coming up with a list of all their molds in Whitehall.
10:37Not more.
10:38More.
10:38Nigel, your service has more holes in it than a whore's tides.
10:42The list was left in a DLB on Clapham Common.
10:47In the roots of a tree.
10:49Mrs. Forbes was meant to collect it.
10:51She wasn't told the contents.
10:53Merely that a drop would be made and she had to pick it up.
10:56So?
10:57When she was found and taken to hospital,
11:00there was nothing on her.
11:02When we later checked the DLB,
11:05empty.
11:06Maybe Boris didn't show.
11:07He showed.
11:09I'll ask him to give you a copy.
11:11We would.
11:12If we could find him.
11:14He's vanished.
11:16Then where is the list?
11:18That's what you want to know.
11:22This is where you earn your marker 64.
11:27Anything broken?
11:29No.
11:31Yes.
11:33My watch.
11:36I'll buy you another.
11:39How do I look?
11:41Well, your days with the male model are numbered.
11:44But I prefer the rugged look.
11:48What in God's name went wrong, Tess?
11:50I don't know.
11:53I must run.
11:55We're back tonight.
11:57Do you want anything?
11:58I do.
12:00But it'll wait.
12:15You're looking better.
12:18You're nice people tell in hospital.
12:26Roddy's off the danger list.
12:30Is there anything you want?
12:31Yes, there is.
12:33What?
12:34I want to get out of here.
12:35You're meant to be resting.
12:37What do you think I've been doing for the last three days?
12:39Taking it easy, I hope.
12:40Nigel, can you tell me when I can expect to leave this place?
12:43As soon as you get dressed.
12:47I can't wait to get back to work.
12:49I said you could leave hospital.
12:51I didn't say anything about going back to work.
12:54Where am I going then?
12:56You're going to the country.
12:58What country?
13:00The countryside.
13:01You know, fields, cows, green wellies, mud.
13:07What am I going to do there?
13:08You're going to have a rest.
13:10More rest.
13:11And you're going to talk to a nice man called Bennett.
13:16The department's psychiatrist?
13:18Yes.
13:20I'm going to watch the grass grow and talk about my father fixation.
13:23You can talk about anything you like.
13:25I found you a charming little place.
13:29Let her get dressed.
13:31Dr. Ray to go to theatre five immediately.
13:35You're Nigel?
13:36Yes.
13:37Only the patient kept saying she had to see you when she was first admitted.
13:40What about?
13:41She wasn't making an awful lot of sense.
13:43But she kept saying they put something in the drink.
13:46Nigel, the officer that found her said the same thing.
13:50Thank you, nurse.
13:54Who put something in what drink?
13:56I've no idea.
13:58Don't you think we should find out?
13:59Perhaps.
14:00Nurse Pat, please go to reverse.
14:08I've always thought the countryside's creepy.
14:11No lights at night.
14:13Rotten birds singing away early in the morning.
14:16Cow dung everywhere.
14:19Aren't you?
14:20Yes, nice.
14:22Fresh.
14:23Last for a while said people in the country get up early because they've got so much to
14:26do and go to bed early because they've got nothing to talk about.
14:29That's just what you need.
14:30Nice long walks and lots of rest.
14:32When I hear the word rest again, I shall start hitting people.
14:37I wonder what the house is like.
14:39Nigel described it as a charming little place.
14:51Charming little place.
14:53I wonder what Nigel would call a big place.
14:54Buckingham Palace?
15:02Good morning, madam.
15:03I'm Mrs. Selwyn.
15:04Yes?
15:05I'm the housekeeper.
15:06I'll be looking after you.
15:08I'm perfectly capable of looking after myself.
15:13I'm sorry.
15:14She's not feeling too good right now.
15:16No, that's perfectly all right.
15:38I thought you might like a cup of tea.
15:46I look like this in three different ways.
15:52I love reserves mentally.
15:56We push less money in four different ways.
16:07I love these water too.
16:09Eighteen compared to Five.
16:09There's nothing to it.
16:11I do...
16:11I hope...
16:15do you have to clean in here right now oh I won't be long
16:20you've been paid to spy on me haven't you
16:24spying on you
16:26oh good heavens no of course not well then for god's sake leave me alone
16:52there's a gentleman to see
16:53let me guess the office shrink
17:08hello mrs. Forbes Myles Bennet
17:18you're going to have trouble down here trouble why no couch I'll improvise you
17:28met my keeper mrs. Sullivan housekeeper I was wondering if you'd like some tea yes
17:33mrs. Sullivan I would thank you she have to be here you don't get on I just don't
17:41need her I would have thought it would be nice to have someone to cook and clean
17:44up
17:51so what have they told you about you've been working hard maybe too hard you know about the
17:56Miller fiasco yes I came damn near to killing my own people and yourself I was in charge so you're
18:03blaming yourself for what happened ending in a state of collapse on the street you think that merits all this
18:08a virtual house arrest a guard a psychiatrist I don't know yet
18:14it's nothing that a couple of days at home with my feet out wouldn't have cured I've overworked before
18:18you think that's all it is overwork yes look I like my job I don't have many other interests
18:28maybe I don't relax as much as I should that's all the way Nigel's blowing everything out of proportion it's
18:34ridiculous
18:34being overtired is one thing mrs. Forbes a blackout lasting several hours is something else entirely
18:49I can remember handing over surveillance duty to the next shift
18:56then I set out to meet in the park to compare notes
18:59meet who
19:02Red
19:04and
19:07and
19:09Tessa
19:11yes
19:12but you didn't get that
19:13no
19:17I've wrapped my brains trying to
19:20but I can remember nothing
19:23it's a total blank
19:28yes
19:32make this quick
19:39we'd like to know if Maggie took the blame for the cock-up
19:42nope
19:43anything else
19:44she talked about someone spiking her drink
19:47it's being looked into
19:48by who

20:04a good boss
20:05thank you
20:08so what I'm saying is
20:10don't go and blow it
20:12Maggie is one of us
20:14she's got a problem and we want to help her
20:16very well
20:19Maggie was detailed to empty a dead letterbox the night she went missing
20:24we were expecting a message of vital importance
20:26however
20:27it wasn't on her when she was found
20:29and it is no longer in the DLD
20:31and she can recall nothing about it
20:34we need that message
20:36Bennett
20:37the department analyst is handling her case
20:40he may discover something in the course of his treatment
20:43liaise with him
20:51it's about three or four miles down the road
20:54yes that's right
20:54this is absolutely ridiculous
20:56it would make my life so much easier
20:59I'll serve coffee in the drawing room
21:02no Nigel I'm not going anywhere special
21:04I would just like to have my car down here
21:08I'll ask

21:39are you married?
21:41not recently
21:42and the wife's who had?

21:51she thought she'd get free therapy
21:53but she didn't?
21:54I even charged my mother
21:56and number two?
21:57she was completely the opposite
21:58she had no time for analysis
22:00she used to accuse me of trying to raid her inner sanctum
22:03you're raping my mind
22:04was a popular phrase of hers
22:06were you?
22:07it's very difficult to violate a vacuum
22:11will you try again?
22:13I don't think so
22:15twice but
22:17you and I share the same problem
22:18oh?

22:31of this pub
22:32he booked me into

24:30I had a flash of two arms
24:33pulling a beer pump

24:37it seems to have been triggered by the bird
24:42you were in a pub that had a miner bird
24:43the barman was tattooed
24:45you drank Campari
24:48Maggie try to think
24:53it was like a dream

24:59sudden mental image
25:00just for a moment
25:00and
25:02then it slipped away
25:06it's gone

32:03Yes, I do.
32:04You, Nigel.
32:06The whole damn department think I've jumped in with the other side.
32:09That's nonsense and you know it.
32:11I've been set up.
32:12Nobody believes me.
32:13I've told you I believe you.
32:15Why should you?
32:17You could be lying to me right now.
32:19I could be, but I'm not.
32:23I've only known you a few days, but I trust you.
32:27I can tell when somebody's fantasizing.
32:29It's my job to know.
32:31It's why I'm paid.
32:32I'm paid.
32:34Maggie, your amnesia began after you went to the dead letterbox.
32:40What did you do when you handed over your shift?
32:43Did you have a drink?
32:46Eat something?
32:48That's the gap we must fill.
32:51The hour after you finished your second room.
32:57Maggie.
33:06Hello?
33:08You found the pub we're looking for?
33:10yes a minor bird and Obama with tattooed arms what's it called the black lion and
33:17it's no cap and common brilliant thank you very very much did you see her in
33:27here last Friday night yeah you're sure who are you the law or something she's a
33:33friend of ours we're looking for her but she sat over there there an hour or
33:37more when she left she looked like she was over the top no I mean how much over
33:41well I don't know I didn't serve them every time them yes she was with a bloke
33:46what did he look like oh big fella foreign how do you know it's foreign well
33:50when he ordered he pointed at what he wanted well that doesn't necessarily
33:54mean he's foreign no I suppose not hey there's nothing wrong is there did she
33:58leave with this fella no you're certain yeah I remember her coming up to the bar
34:03on her tod thought she was gonna have another I was gonna tell her maybe she'd
34:06had enough already know what I mean well then Samantha let's out a squawk she
34:09jumps and breaks the glass so now she's on her own yeah I never saw him leave the
34:14bloke here now I know why I thought he was a foreigner why he was drinking vodka
34:19straight no ice nothing and he knocked it back in one go bang you know like a
34:25Russian stop asking me that I don't know oh what's in this drink but he told me it was
34:37changed
34:40it's empty it's nothing there don't believe me don't care oh I didn't know it was changed oh
35:11well what do you make of that she's dreaming the dead letterbox location has been changed and
35:16she doesn't know where the new one is what does that tell us maybe just a typical anxiety dream we
35:20all have them awful drink empty tree her dream appears to be closely linked with reality she
35:28must have been speaking to the man she actually met Nigel I can't ask her straight out who was the
35:34Russian in the pub or what exactly had changed why not I'm a psychiatrist not an interrogator my
35:41main concern is for her mental stability I have to go at my own pace miles I have to tell
35:46you that
35:47your pace isn't good enough what do you mean we have pressing assignments in Eastern Europe we want
35:53to send our men there but we can't until we're certain they're safe we won't know that until we
35:59see the list you're asking me to put pressure on her I can't do that someone has to someone else
36:05very
36:06well who me I'm a trained interrogator I still remember the basics don't worry miles I won't use the
36:16rack mrs. Forbes remains in my professional care I insist on being present and the right to
36:22intervene if necessary I agree
36:32can I help you I'm just browsing I must know what you want I'm in charge here can I look
36:40at your duty
36:40rosters please which ones surveillance London six days ago very well just go around and through the door
36:54this is very inconvenient you know
37:31find what you wanted I found something I don't know if I want it good afternoon Maggie I've explained the
37:40situation to miles and he's asked to be present I've no objections that's fine by me try and relax
37:48Maggie sorry please remember that mrs. Forbes has been very close to a breakdown of course well Maggie feel
37:58after answering a few questions yes miles has done well to fill in some of your missing gaps but
38:07some big ones remain Nigel believe me I have tried to remember perhaps if we direct our aim a little
38:15more forcefully something might emerge um you've said you recall nothing from the time you came off
38:24surveillance duty until you woke up in the hospital except for brief flashes no a public house a barman with
38:31tattooed arms a minor bird searching the base of a tree finding it empty drinking something you dislike
38:39that's all it's strange you recall so much about this public house and nothing of the person you were with
38:45I wasn't with anybody you were with a man he was foreign according to the barman didn't you tell me
38:52you found a pub
38:53he drank vodka in the russian manner where is it where is this pub never mind that I'm talking about
38:58the man you were with you said to him nobody told me it had been changed I said it what
39:05had been changed
39:06how do you know I said that to him answer the question I don't understand the question what
39:10had been changed I don't remember I don't remember saying that Maggie calm down calm down it's all right
39:19for god's sake go easy had the dead letterbox been changed is that what this man this russian wanted
39:26to know I can't remember any man I can't I can't did you tell him how could I you must
39:32have told him
39:33something otherwise why did he leave before you what could I have told him what did I know to tell
39:39him
