Miss Fabrizio?

Wentz? Hi.

SSD, Mr. Corelli. I'm in charge of security during your visit.

There are a number of matters I'd like to discuss, Miss Fabrizio. The press,

sir.

Miss Fabrizio, Liberty Party is only two years old. Why are the Italian voters

taking you so seriously?

Because we represent a new honesty in Italian politics. A dejection of the old

ways. We are against corruption.

We want to clean up politics in our country once and for all. That's why

here to attend the conference on open government.

Isn't your stance against corruption just window dressing?

A cynical attempt to win votes?

My enemies don't think it's just window dressing.

I've had death threats.

But they won't stop me speaking out.

Fighting corruption is the only reason I'm in politics.

With me, it is a total passion.

What about your other passion? When are you and Alberto going to name the big

day? The big day is next week. The general election. You know what I mean.

When are you two going to get married?

The more we deny there is anything between us, the more you bring the

Thank you. Thank you very much.

That's all for now. Thank you. Mr. Corelli! Mr. Corelli!

What good do you think your business is going to do, Mr. Corelli?

Mr. Priestley, when will you commence the deconstruction of the hotel?

She's arrived.

Do it now, ducky.

Intrusion at the hotel.

Let's go, sir. Not a sign of them anyway. Let's have a look.

For some foreign politicians, being against corruption is like writing your

death sentence.

Sir? This was going to be Anna Fabriti's room.

Is this one of yours?

It looks familiar.

Yeah, it's the logo for that new Italian political party.

Oh, right, yeah, I've seen them on TV.

They're over here for a conference.

So you design things with lasers, make holograms.

That's it.

Political parties are the exception.

Generally I do them for rock concerts, product launches, sports events.

Yet you suspect industrial espionage.

I wanted to check over the whole place.

Forgive me, I didn't realise the laser business was so cutthroat.

I know it sounds like complete paranoia, but I'm sure someone's bugging me.

Don't apologise, my friend.

It's paranoia that keeps us in business.

You said bugging?

Yeah.

Well, if they wanted to steal your designs, why listen to your

What? I think what it means is they're far more likely to break in and take

photographs or steal drawings, get into your computer.

Well, yeah, I suppose so.

Have there been any break -ins, any tamperings with your computer?

Not that I've noticed.

That doesn't mean there aren't any buts or some other kind of debate.

Well, no, that's true.

That's what I'm hiring you to check for.

Well, uh, Mr. Swift, you can rest assured that if anybody gets so much as

cross -line, we'll find them for you.

Check out that van.

I'm no expert, but I'd say that's had some designer aging.

Ed, you've got a point.

Those plates, they're too old for that model.

A bit too nonchalant, wouldn't you say?

Hang on to this, will you?

I'm going to check this out.

Have you got the time, please, mate?

The watcher's taken off.

He looks like pro to me.

I think this Williams book knows something he's not telling us.

Sir, she was right.

Who was?

A friend who recommended you.

The question is, Mr. Swift, why are you under surveillance?

Somebody wants to put me out of business.

This isn't just about lasers, is it?

Well, that's all I know about.

Well, bugs are what we know about, and there aren't any here.

So whatever secrets you do have, just feel free to discuss them.

Thanks for all you've done.

Let me know what your colleague turns up.

Cool.

And if you need anything else, well, you know where to find us.

Ed, are you listening?

Yeah, we're with you.

The van I followed has come to a halt.

I'll check out my location in a minute. Hang on, the driver's got out.

Stick with him, Beckett. Find out what's going on.

I'm using your new RT -73 to shift the security camera off me.

Then I'll try and get into the building.

Beckett, left side is vertical, right side is horizontal, and it's delicate,

be careful.

That's it.

It worked.

Remember, there could be other cameras, Beckett. Okay, Roz, I'm going in. I'll

talk to you later.

You can go anywhere with an RT -73, do you, Beckett?

My office, now.

Right, Beckett.

I hope you're going to be cooperative.

Because if not, there are certain sanctions we can impose.

Spare me the lecture, Wentz.

I know this department's so secret nobody's supposed to know it exists.

I also know... You could bury me in 20 tonnes of wet concrete, tell all my

friends I died in a car crash, and no -one would ever be any the wiser.

But you're not going to do that, are you?

No. No.

So I'll be on my way.

A word of advice, Beckett.

Keep away from William Swift.

William Swift has employed us to do a job.

I'm not giving it up on your say -so.

He's mixing in dangerous company.

Take my advice, keep your nose out.

Well, you will end up being buried in concrete.

William Swift.

I didn't believe a single word he said to us, did you?

You ought to be in politics, not lasers.

Right, you didn't. I did.

Bugging the client. Isn't that against our code of practice?

I don't like clients not telling us the truth.

Me either.

14 .9 megahertz.

All right.

Get a better reception.

Stuck one behind his desk.

Hello? It's me.

Anna, darling. How was the journey?

Oh, it was fine. All they wanted to know was when Alberto and I were getting

married.

There was a man outside the workshop keeping a watch.

One of the experts I got in chased him off.

It's possible he was on our side.

What?

I had to tell security about us.

Look, I'll explain when we meet.

Sexy voice.

Don't worry.

Yeah, obviously Italian. Can you get away this morning?

Yes, I can. As long as I'm back for my keynote speech or two, I'm fine.

So, where shall we meet?

Do you remember that big courtyard with the grass?

Royal College Green.

Whoever she is, she's the reason for his paranoia.

Let's go put a face to the name.

Hello.

Confirm your identity.

Confirm your identity.

This is Mackenzie.

You've been out of contact, Darkie.

What happened at the hotel?

Tell your boss to have my money ready.

She'll be dead very soon.

Alberto.

I need a favor.

I need to go out.

Oh, take me to the Wenceslas Bodegaard. I'm not going anywhere.

I'm meeting a friend.

Ah, and, uh...

You don't want a chaperone.

Exactly. Leave it to me.

Alberto.

I don't like all this secrecy.

Pretending people who are close to me don't exist. Pretending our relationship

is something... It's not.

Everyone is so in love with the idea of us being a couple.

Why spoil their illusion?

Our party is meant to stand for honesty, not deception.

Other parties would pay millions for the public affection we have.

The more they love us, the more chance we have of winning. I know.

I know.

But after the election, we'll come clean.

Yes.

After the election.

It won't matter one way or the other.

I need to go to the embassy. You'd better come with me. And don't worry

about Mr. Prince. He should be staying in her room, okay?

So tell me, Rob, what kind of place you'd like to get a proposal?

That rather depends who's from it.

It's all very romantic, but, I don't know, all these windows?

A bit like being in the middle of a stage.

Yeah, it's very exposed.

Good place to kill someone.

Let's check it out.

Rose, I got someone.

Right, I'll go over to the west side to look for Swift and his friend Anna.

Come on, get down. Do we have to stay?

Looks like I've got a live wire here.

Looks like he's got a detonator.

He must be using a bomb.

So, let me just get this straight.

The Italian public want to believe that you and Alberto Corelli are lovers.

And you go along with it because it will help enhance your image.

And when you vote... You make a sound so cynical.

Politics is politics.

But now you're marrying William, right?

So far, we've kept our relationship secret.

But after the election, the truth will have to come out.

Yes, well, you see...

After the election, that's a little bit late for us.

You know, Winston's team obviously knew all about you. We were kept completely

in the dark.

I didn't know if I could trust you. I was frightened, and his enemies had

out about it.

That's why I wanted William to have his placework for bugs.

Ed and Rod saved your lives.

Perhaps you could trust us now, yeah?

So who would want to kill you, and why?

A number of people.

Now... The Liberty Party wants to clean up Italian politics.

It's a vote winner.

But those with their hands in the tail don't like it.

You didn't bring your own security people with you?

Alberto thought we would be safe here. And of course, Commander Wentz's squad

was supposed to protect us.

Wentz couldn't look after a peck of goldfish.

I don't want looking after.

I want to catch the people responsible.

Could you help me do that?

Perfect, Professor.

William Swift worked here, and I can meet him here.

If only Mark's been worth the name.

She's going to be a simple target.

He used a bomb before.

Yeah, but that's the beauty of setting it up here.

I mean, it's open enough to attract the assassin, but controllable enough so he

can limit his options.

His only choice is to use a rifle, and this will be the only place he can do it

from, if he takes the bait.

We'll take the bait, don't worry.

Hey, listen, about this evening.

Yeah. I want you to go and pick up Anna, okay? I'm going to stay here and wait

for the assassin.

Come on, I'm a lousy chauffeur. You do that. I'll handle the ambush stuff.

Ed, you haven't had the training, right?

What do you mean, training?

Unarmed combat.

Surveillance. Night pursuit. Small arms. You sound like Rambo. Listen, I'm going

to do this, all right?

Ed.

You've achieved more with this in an afternoon than I have in three years of

research.

Well, it's all a bit of a lash -up.

I've just rejigged some of your software, is all. It might not even

Only one way to find out.

Try it.

Said he's got a twin.

I've never been able to make a 3D replica before.

It's brilliant.

Well, now your laser's producing a good, strong image.

Not for long, though.

I'll try something else.

How can we guarantee the killer will turn up at all?

Well, they knew you were meeting Anna at College Green, so there's been a leak

of information somewhere.

Will you check my face?

And Anna's room. Never know about us.

There are other ways of listening to conversation.

This is where you and Anna come in.

Now, are you sure you remember your lines?

Politics is 90 % acting.

Hello?

Anna Fabriti.

Hello, darling. It's William.

If that conference of yours can spare you, any chance of us meeting this

evening?

I thought you'd like to come over and see a demonstration of the laser logo.

The Liberty Party torch.

Excellent.

What time?

Will there be a crowd?

Just us.

In that huge, empty space.

I wanted you to be the first to appear.

Marvelous. I'll meet you there.

All right.

Ciao. Bye.

There you go.

What did I have to use a mobile?

Well, we think that's where they knew your movements this morning.

Talking on a mobile phone is a bit like discussing your private life with a

gossip columnist.

Confirm your identity.

It's Mackenzie.

Must you use that stupid tape?

Haven't you heard of security?

Listen, I'll do it tonight at the arena.

And I want a car waiting to take me to the airport.

I'll give you the details.

We'll bend the car.

How will my driver recognize you?

There'll be no one else around at that time.

Tell your driver to flash his headlights twice.

I'll find him.

Starkey.

Just get it right this time.

Please.

Or you and I are finally going to have to meet.

This man, Starkey, has failed twice.

Send your car, but don't take him to the airport.

You want him dead?

If he kills Anna this time,

Maybe I relent.

And if he fails?

Anna must die before the elections.

Her death will mean the Liberty Party and I come to power on a wave of public

sympathy.

And then quietly forget all your anti -corruption policies.

Anna's policies, not mine.

If Anna ever actually got to power...

Certain friends of mine would be very inconvenienced.

It's fortunate she hasn't discovered just who your friends really are.

Oh, she will.

That's why I want her dead.

Something I never expected to see.

What, me sewing?

No, you're doing something badly.

So, Ros, what's in the button, then? Is it a microphone?

No. Tracker?

No.

Both.

Oh, damn.

I never was any good at this.

Tracker, that's incredible.

Thank you.

It's super miniaturised with only minimal loss of power and range.

It took me weeks to get it right.

Is that the only one?

Yep, so far. It's the prototype.

I want you to give it a field test for me, but bring it back.

Look,

you and Beckett are certain this won't be another bomb?

Oh, yeah.

We've made sure the only option they have is to use a gun.

Well, you'd better be right.

Because if this all blows up in your faces, I'm not saying you're back

Thank you, Gina.

See you at breakfast.

Buonanotte.

Early night for you too. I'm going to stay in and work.

But right now I'm taking a shower, so if you wouldn't mind.

Go.

Room service!

Wentz to base. Wentz to base.

Beckett is with Miss Fabrizi.

They've made an unauthorized exit.

They're leaving.

Follow them.

Well, it's all quiet here, Ed. No sign of anybody.

Well, Beckett and Anna are here.

I hope we've got this right. We don't want to be wasting our time.

Ed, he's here. He's in the building. He's by a pillar on the south side.

A little past me.

Well, I'm telling you, he's here. He's got a rifle.

I'm on my way.

You okay?

Yeah.

They shot the laser image exactly as planned.

And who was trying to kill me?

I want to know.

Well, hopefully, Ed's got that in hand.

All hell's broken loose here. They've just shot this guy.

I went to check out a car I saw earlier. I think it's got something to do with

the assassin.

Ross?

Beckett.

I

warned

you, Beckett.

We knew about this assassination threat to Miss Fabrizio. That's why we're here.

All you've done is put her and her friend in grave danger. Oh, we were both

quite safe, you know. I wanted to flush out the assassins.

Yes. Well, he certainly won't be giving you any more trouble.

There's my car outside, Miss Fabrizio, if you'd like to come with us.

As for you, Beckett, get out of here before I close you down.

Likes creating an impression, doesn't he?

Wentz doesn't get out of the office too often. When he does, he likes to make

the most of it.

Beckett, where's Ed?

Doc?

Who's asking?

Don't try to... Never.

We heard shooting.

Well, that'll be the SSD. They need to practice.

Who are you?

Star.

Is everything all right? Yes, it's probably good.

Seeing the bride on the morning of the wedding is supposed to be bad luck.

I know.

I wanted to give you a chance to change your mind.

Why?

Suppose Wentz interferes. Mr Wentz will not know anything about it. But we could

cancel. Wait till after the election.

I could fly back to Italy with you. We could get married there.

No. We planned it for while I'm here in England.

And that's what I want.

Nobody is going to stop us.

But is it going to be safe?

Hardly anybody knows anything about it.

Anyway, when said the men had been killed... They haven't got the people

hired him, have they? William.

I am not spending the rest of my life in hiding.

Your secretary's happy to be a witness? Of course.

And Corelli?

I haven't asked him yet.

I was leaving it on here this morning for maximum surprise.

Did you draft it?

He and I could be running the country together in a couple of weeks.

I can't let him learn about you and I from the paper.

Married.

Not only is she still alive, but she's getting married this morning. What the

hell went wrong last night?

We picked up the donkey.

Do you want to see him? Yes, I do.

Spencer, would you like to bring in our guest?

Ah.

So you're Starkey.

Yeah.

Why am I being treated like a prisoner?

Because you keep failing to do the job I am paying you for.

Where did you get that accent?

You're not the person I spoke to on the phone.

Are you kidding?

I always use the voice changer on phone calls.

You mean as well as that ridiculous tape you always play?

Haven't you heard of security?

Oh, sure we have.

That's why I want you dead.

Guys, come on.

I thought we had a deal here. The deal is off. I don't like failures.

It wasn't my fault.

Fabrizzi hired some people to protect her. The whole thing was set up. Yeah?

Yeah. Security services swarmed the place.

They shot some guy, parted by, I think.

Trust the SSD to get the wrong man.

At least they killed someone, which is more than you have achieved.

Starkey.

Not only is Fabrizzi still alive...

She's actually getting married this morning.

Married?

Where's the church? I could do it there.

Kill her at the wedding?

You think I should trust you again?

I can have her dead before the ink dries on the wedding register.

Okay. You've got one last chance.

But screw up again.

And it will be your last mistake.

Your secretary tells me you're not attending this morning's session of the

conference. No.

What are you doing?

May I ask?

I shall have a swim in the hotel pool.

If that's okay with you.

Ross.

Beckett.

I don't know if you can hear me. Listen, I don't know how long I can talk. I've

lost my radio. I'm using this button thing. I hope it works.

You're not going to believe it. These guys think I'm a contract killer.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

I can't hear you. Your button's just a mic.

Oh, great.

We'll next time throw a couple on, all right? Then one can be a receiver.

Ed is not trained for infiltration work. It is highly dangerous stuff.

Rebecca, you're trying to tell us something. I knew I should have covered

assassin. You're not Ed.

You got it?

Anna's getting married this morning.

I'm supposed to kill her. I'm going to play along so I can work out who's

all this. Stop it.

It's a gross picket.

I don't know if you can hear me, but...

They said she's in the pool.

That's why she didn't answer the phone.

Beckett, swimming's an odd thing to do just before your wedding, don't you

think?

She's not in there.

This is what happens when you don't employ enough women.

Well done. Are you ready with this bouquet?

Is something borrowed?

Oh, something blue.

Blue, yes.

Mr.

Starkey, I thought... This time you'll complete your assignment.

A little disunity in the party, or is she just marrying the wrong man?

You're not paid to ask questions. Just kill her.

Unlucky in love, eh? Love has nothing to do with it. This is politics.

So whereabouts is the wedding?

You'll find out.

Is it in a church?

What's it to you?

Idle curiosity.

Drive.

Corelli's in that car.

Had to be, didn't it?

Who ever heard of two politicians being best mates?

What's the range of this button?

Great. This mini track -a -mic thing of yours.

Oh, um, cut them off.

Let's hope the wedding's not in Rome, then, eh?

Oh, my God.

Are you happy now?

Are you sure?

This really isn't my style. Ordinarily, I like Italian clothes, but...

He won't have to wear it, will he?

I'm sorry about the weight. It's lined with plastic explosive.

It's sort of an insurance policy, is it?

So if for any reason you fail again, we'll terminate your contract.

Wherever it is, it's just got there.

So, gentlemen, what's this church called?

Come on, we don't want him to get walking into the wrong one, do we? We've

precautions against that eventuality. Mackenzie will tell you where to go.

We will also know what you're doing.

We can tell if you're not following instructions.

The gun is fitted with a video camera.

Mackenzie will see everything.

Even tell you if you're aiming too high.

I was thinking it was so you could follow Letzio on satellite.

And don't try to take this waistcoat off.

This zip completes the circuit. Try to undo it and you'll detonate the

explosive.

Right, Starkey.

On your way.

There goes the lucky man.

A little present for the brat.

What's this?

Just a little incentive.

If you haven't got the job done in 15 minutes.

Boom.

Okay.

upstairs to the gallery.

And where will you be?

Somewhere I can put my eye on you.

for a firing position.

Remember your time is limited.

He's here. We're right on top of him.

He's here.

Oh,

brilliant.

Electronics grade one, sewing and needlework, failed.

So where's the church then?

There. And it's not a church.

Now, move in a bit. That's it.

Keep smiling.

You must be William Swift.

Let me offer you my congratulations.

Thank you.

They're here.

Take care.

Show me a cup.

I can't do the clean stuff.

It's no good. She's in the way.

Kill the girl as well if you have to.

Kill them both.

as it completes the circuit we heard.

Starkey, have you got company?

It's just a ceremony.

If you don't kill her in the next three minutes, your jacket will explode and

you'll be the dead one.

I call upon these persons here present.

I call upon these persons here present.

To witness that I, William Swift.

To witness that I, William Swift.

Do take thee, Anna Fabrici. Do take thee, Anna.

To be my lawful wedded wife.

To be my lawful wedded wife.

To witness that I, Anna Fabrizio, take thee, William Swift, to be

my lawful wedded husband. To be my lawful wedded husband.

Anna, look out!

It's Corelli who's trying to kill you!

Roberto! What are you doing?

Teaching you a lesson, honesty never pays.

Do this wrong. I can't do this if you keep moving.

Let me get away or she dies. Shoot!

Kill him!

Just give me five seconds. You don't have them.

Give me safe passage out of here.

Don't turn her into a martyr.

You took your time working out what to remove.

We worked it out.

I guess.

If I may be permitted to finish, I was about to congratulate you now that you

are husband and wife.

Do you

do

ironing as well?

Yes, please.

I'm just trying to correct your dodgy handiwork.

And it's looking lovely.

Hey!

I've got some socks I need, darling. Oh, leave him alone.

He'll make somebody a wonderful wife one of these days.

You left this at William's workshop? Oh, Ed.

Yeah? No, not you, him.

His name's Ed the Ted.

Hey, perhaps next time this Ed goes missing, we could take this Ed on. He'd

probably do a better job.

Well, it's probably a good idea.

You know what they say?

What?

Two Eds are better than one.
