All language subtitles for Summer of Rockets s01e06.eg

I'd forgotten it was Saturday.

Someone's getting married.

They're not coming back, are they?
The people who did this.

They won't come back today, no.

Have you called the police?

Well, the department
are on their way.

They'll be here any moment.

It's only a dog that died.

Hardly an emergency.

Who did this, Mr Field?

Come with me.

Yes, you're still here.

I thought you might want
to have some of them.

So I'm going to pack up
this room last.

You want to know who's responsible?

What, all of them?

We'll see.

This young man, David,
is in fact my son, Anthony.

But he says he's not, madam.

There is a resemblance, of course.
I can see that.

And I didn't realise
that yesterday, I admit.

But this young man is David Harris.

He's worked here for three years.

He's not your son, madam.

Anthony?

Oh, my God!

It is Anthony!

Anthony, my boy!
You're back with us!

This is my husband.

There's nothing to be alarmed about.

I'm Richard Shaw,
I'm a Member of Parliament.

I'm not these people's son.

- I'm not!
- Don't worry, everybody.

Please, we will take care of him.

- What are you doing?
- Come on.

- Hey, hey, hey, no, get your hands off me!
- Don't treat him like that!

I don't know these people.
I'm not their son, I'm not.

Who on Earth are these men
and why are they here?

I don't want us to risk
losing him again.

- I thought I had to bring support.
- I trusted you, you promised me!

It'll be all right
when we get home.

- I'm not their son! Help me!
- It's all right.

Thank you.

Shut the door, please.

There's only one glass.

Give it to Samuel.

I'll have the flask.

Robert, are you OK?

I'll be fine in a moment.

I think, Mr Petrukhin,
you have a right to know everything

we do about these people.

About bloody time.

And we'll make sure that
your house is safe so tomorrow

you can bring your
family back there.

But first I'd be delighted
if you'd be my guest at my club.

Although, of course, I'd understand
if you don't want to help us any more.

On the contrary.

I want to do everything
I can to stop them.

Come in. Come in, my boy.

Anthony.

Welcome home.

I'm not him.

I'm not Anthony.

Have a good look round.

Remind yourself of everything.

Come.

You must have missed all this.

I know you don't believe me.

I'm seeing this garden
for the very first time.

Here are all your drawings
and paintings, Anthony.

Oh, David - I will call you David.

I didn't do any of these.

Please listen to this.

I am not your son.

Do you think he really
doesn't remember?

Or is it just playacting?

I'm not sure.

It's just the shock, I think.

He's become somebody
else while he was away.

He'll come back to us.

Does he really want
us to call him David?

Yes.

But it won't last.

Richard, we don't need all
these men now, do we, surely?

Just for the moment,
till we're certain the press

haven't got hold of it.

They aren't the people who tore
down my posters, are they?

Why would they have done that?

To stop any publicity
about the family.

No, of course not.

And they'll be gone
very soon, I promise.

We just need to guard
our privacy for a few

more days, darling.

But only for a few days.

And he's not going to be a prisoner,
he's not going to be locked in.

I feel such joy that
he's here, Richard.

I don't want anything to spoil that.

BELL RINGS

Mr Richardson.

The Jew's back.

An ingenious invention.

So, this is the situation,
Mr Petrukhin.

One can't go after people
for what they're thinking,

for what they may
be imagining doing.

Especially when what they really
think may be disguised

by innocent-looking lectures
on Victorian buildings.

Conspiracies are hard to prove.

Two people have been killed already,
not to mention what happened today.

Surely...

An RAF man went
berserk on an airfield.

He maintains he was acting
completely on his own

and that he is mentally ill.

And as for today, well,
a dog died during a burglary.

So this is what we know,
Mr Petrukhin.

There is a cabal of disaffected
people, a coalition between once

important man who now feel
themselves sidelined,

and a few members of my own service,
rogue officers from MI5 and MI6,

who feel that there's massive
Russian penetration,

not just in the Secret Service...

But in the Foreign Office.
And at the heart of government.

These people are determined
to take action to gain power

and put their own man in place.

And they think they've found their
perfect candidate in Richard Shaw.

He's malleable, a charming chap
and extremely popular

with the public.

And to do this,
they're prepared to use force.

So that they can alter the future
and stop the dismantling

of the British Empire.

We think that, through you,
Mr Petrukhin...

KNOCK ON DOOR

- Thank you.
- Yes, thank you, we'll do the rest.

Yes. We think that, through you,
Mr Petrukhin, through

your friendship with Richard Shaw
and Lord Wallington,

that we can get the evidence
we need to stop them

before they act.

Because now they think
you're one of them.

I don't think they feel that.

Not yet, anyhow.

Then you must make them believe it.

Can you do that, Samuel?

Can you disguise the way
you really feel?

Not easily.

It's not what I'm best at.

I tend to show what I'm thinking.

And if they start
pouring out anti-Semitic bile,

and I just have to nod away,
then that's going to be very hard.

And they won't
believe it, will they?

You're a White Russian.
You want to fight the communists.

That they will believe.

If you make them.

Also, we think they want
to use your pager as part

of the operation they're planning.

Anyway, isn't there one very big
problem with using me?

You think that they're
connected to the gunmen.

So how come, if they like you so
much, they want to kill you? Yes.

Because they were after me
and William, and he bungled it.

The shooter.

I'd driven off,
but he still went ahead with it.

You happened to be in
the wrong place, Samuel.

We realise you've already done
a lot for us, Mr Petrukhin.

You need to get back with
your family. Think it over.

Yes, you must miss them.

MUSIC PLAYING

I'm sorry, Joel.

I'm not ready to do this.

Not today.

Because it's me?

You're not ready to do it with me?

No, it's not because of you.
It really isn't.

Esther brought a message
from the factory.

My dad's going to be home tomorrow.

And you're already
worrying about that?

Yes, I want to be sure he's OK.

And you wouldn't want
him to know about me?

Not yet, no.

I've hardly had a boyfriend
at all until now, let alone...

I don't want to give him anything
else to worry about at the moment.

Or ever?

I didn't say that.

We don't know what's
going to happen, do we?

I mean, we could be...

All blown up next week.

The end of the world.

Yes.

I know.

You keep saying that.

SCREAMING

Joel!

Joel!

Joel!

Joel!

Joel!

We're arresting YOU.

Over there.

We're arresting you, young lady.

That's ridiculous.

Quiet.

Cos you started this.
Isn't that right?

No, that certainly isn't right.

This is all because of
you and what you were doing.

Well, you're all very lucky.

We've been called to an incident.

A much larger incident up the road.

But if there's any more
trouble from any of you,

we'll be back.

KNOCK ON DOOR

There's a visitor for you.

Hello.

It IS Anthony.

You know me, my boy.

Of course you do.

It's wonderful to see you.

Welcome back.

I don't know you, no.

Of course you do. Say my name.

I don't know your name. Why...

...I'm going to embrace you anyway.

Or are you too old for that?

Not too old for that, I see.

I'm sorry, sir, but I'm not him.

Well, your voice is
different, certainly.

But as for the rest...

I know you remember me.

Our fishing trips,
setting off in that wonderful

old lorry - you, me and your father.

The Musketeers!

Remember, Anthony?

I mean, David.

Remember?

Come on. Come on downstairs.

We'll all have a drink together.

Let the old times flood out.

We'll probably all end up crying.

I'm not him.

What do you think?

Of course it's him.

Yes, of course it is.

It's all an act.

He'll come out of it.

You think so? Hm.

Well, he hasn't tried to run away.

That's one thing.
But he just sits in his room.

Won't come down
to have meals with us.

Won't talk to us.

I know you want me to be him.

I can understand that.

Of course I can.

But I'm not Anthony.
You have to believe me.

There you are, darling.

What on Earth have
you done to yourself?

What's happened to you?

It's nothing.

I tripped and fell, that's all.

You haven't been in
a fight, have you?

In a fight?

No, of course not!

So you weren't involved in this?

It was near where Esther lives.

It happened last night.

No, Dad.

I was not mixed up in any riots.

You didn't see any of
this trouble, then?

No, I didn't.

I promise.

It's so good to see you, Dad!

Safe from whatever was going on.

Yes.

That's all over, isn't it, Samuel?

That work you were doing?

It is, yes. It's over.

You'll not be doing any
more for the government?

Or whoever these people are?

I will not.

No.

Hello, Mum.

I'm so glad you're back, dear.

I'm so glad I'm back, too.

What's the matter, Mum?

I'm not sure your father's
telling me the truth

about his work for the government.

I have no idea what
it is they want him to do.

But he said that's all over.

It's not over. I know it isn't.

Oh, Hannah!

If I hadn't become this...

...timid creature, afraid to go out,
afraid to do anything at all,

- really, this wouldn't have happened.
- What do you mean?

If I hadn't become like this,
I would have gone with him every

time he went to that house,
to the Shaws', and I could

have stopped him getting involved.

And I would know what
they've been saying to him,

- ...what this is all about.
- What?

I don't care how you got
that black eye, darling.

At least you're not
becoming like me.

He's here again. Do I throw him out?

No.

No, I was expecting him.

You were expecting him?

I thought you wanted nothing to do
with him ever again?

Things have changed.

So, Samuel, decision time.

Yes.

I've thought about what you've said,
and I think I can do it,

what you asked.

Making them believe
that I'm one of them.

PHONE RINGS

Hello, it's Samuel Petrukhin.

Samuel, there you are!

I was just thinking
about you, as it happens.

You were? That's good to know.

I was just calling Kathleen, I thought
you'd be in the House of Commons.

No, I'm at home because,
well, something quite

sensational has happened.

Kathleen's found Anthony,
and he's here,

- here in the house, with us.
- That's amazing news.

At least, we think it's him.

Well, of course it's him.

But he maintains he doesn't know us
and his name is David.

He's calling himself David now?

Anyway, you must come
down immediately and see us.

Maybe he'll open up
to a stranger, you never know.

And you're always welcome, Samuel.

- Come tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?

I think I can do that, yes.

Splendid!

They found their son, they think.

They think?

The boy's denying it, is he?

Yes.

That makes it even more urgent.

They'll bring things forward.

Their plans, before the press get
hold of the story about Anthony

and they become the focus
of national attention.

- Mr Petrukhin.
- Go through.

Oh, Sam, there you are!

You've heard our wonderful news?

I have. It's amazing.

Richard's just bringing
him down to see you.

You like yours with lemon,
don't you? The Russian way.

Please.

I'm so happy, Samuel.

I can't tell you how happy I am.
Even though...

Even though he doesn't
seem to recognise us,

says he's never been here before.

Well, he's still in shock.

But I've got a plan
for what to do next.

Right.

You always have a plan.

Here he is!

Samuel, this is Anthony.

This is Mr Petrukhin,
the inventor of the bleeper.

We'll all be wearing them soon.

So good to meet you, Anthony.

David.

If he wants to be David,
we must call him David.

Let's go and feed
the donkeys, shall we?

You remember their names,
don't you, David?

I don't know their names, no.

How could I?

Never seen them before this week.

Well, this one's Chich - Chichester.

And that's Clemmie and
Margot and Daphne.

You loved them.

You always loved them.

If I run away,
they would just come after me.

And they'll keep me a prisoner.

They won't listen
that I'm not their son.

If you're their friend,
then maybe you can persuade them?

What was he saying?

That he's not Anthony.

I know.

He won't let this
other identity drop.

Not for a moment.

But he will eventually, I'm sure.

It's so good you're here.

In an hour or so,
I'm going on a little trip

down the road.

Do you want to come?

Marvellous to drive
oneself for once.

So, where are we going?

Ah! I'm taking a bit of a risk
showing you this, Samuel.

But you mustn't leap to conclusions
or think the world's gone mad.

We're in.

More woods?

Yes, I like taking you
into the woods, Samuel.

They're always full of surprises.

So, what do you think
we'll find in this wood, Samuel?

Another prewar lorry,
stuffed with whisky?

Ah! My favourite Member of
Parliament and my favourite Russian!

Welcome, Samuel, to our
picnic in the woods.

Picnic? Is that what this is?

Indeed it is, yes. Look here.

Cheese, wine, smoked salmon.

Bet you've never eaten
any of those off a tank before.

They have to have something
to munch on, these generals,

while they play with their toys.

And they can do that to
their heart's content here.

Away from prying eyes.

Ah, Mr Petrukhin.

Good afternoon.

You weren't expecting to see these beauties
at the edge of the wood, were you?

I certainly was not.

Well, we're just about to give
a few of these vehicles a spin.

We've got to keep exercising them.
Must never neglect them.

And they can still
put on quite a show.

I bet they can.

Welcome to my private army.

Is that what this is?

A private army?

Well, I don't know
if I'd call it that.

There are quite a few
people here who served

with the general in the war
and are loyal to him.

They have a lot of shared memories
of being in action together.

Makes you very close, of course.

We're just here to enjoy the food...

...while watching
war games in the wood.

Sometimes, it's hard for people
to let the past go,

they're always wanting
to relive the old battles.

- Is that what you're thinking, Samuel?
- Maybe.

I was also thinking that there may
be a serious purpose to all this.

That it's not just nostalgia.

Old soldiers playing games.

What do you mean by that, Samuel?

Well, there could be a time
when a country is out of control,

say, or the government is taking
completely the wrong direction

or has been infiltrated
by a foreign power.

And there may be a need
for someone like General Maddox

and his private army.

Even if it is just to help
concentrate people's minds.

You mean help them see sense?

Yes.

That's what I meant.

But above all, we can't let
the Reds take over.

Can we?

Helping people see sense
is often a very good idea.

I agree.

Petrukhin, come here! There's
someone waiting for you in the hall.

Come on, quickly!

This is important.

Mrs Shaw?

Hello, Sasha.

I want you to meet someone.

This is Anthony.

So you found him?

How do you do, Anthony?

David.

They haven't found
Anthony, I'm sorry.

He likes to be called David now.

Sasha helped us look for
information about you, David.

Mr Tezler will see you now.

Wait here for us, won't you, Sasha?

So, Anthony.
How very good to see you.

Welcome back.

I'm David Harris.

And I've never been here before.

David has...
That's what he's called now.

David has become a vegetarian and he
was working at the Vegetarian Hotel.

Ah, were you indeed?

I should be there now.

But they came and took me away.

We've come here to bring back
some memories for David.

Show him the past.

I know he often mentioned
you, Mr Tezler.

Yes, of course.

You look rather different,
Anthony...

...David.

But of course I haven't seen
you since you came here to visit

when you were... 15.

But I probably look
exactly the same, don't I?

I've never seen you before, sir.

You really don't remember me?

Still David.

We're going to go and have
a look around the school now.

See if that has any effect.

Would you like to come, Sasha?

I'm afraid I need
a word with Petrukhin.

I feel uncomfortable, Petrukhin,
because I have not been entirely

truthful with you.

For all sorts of reasons,
people who should know better

sometimes do not tell the truth.

Maybe we should even
use the word lie.

Sir?

I lied to you, Petrukhin,
about Anthony Shaw's letters.

I showed you how Anthony had
written to me for many years.

What I didn't tell you was that
some of those letters were

from after he disappeared.

I removed them from this file.

That was the lie I told you -

that he never wrote
to me after he vanished.

I knew where he was.

He wanted me to keep that secret.

To tell no-one.

It was desperately important to him,
so I told no-one.

- You want to know why?
- Yes, sir.

Cos we had an understanding
about animals and the natural world.

We shared a horror of what is
happening to that world.

The big game hunters,
the killing of lions,

tigers and elephants.

The blood sports here even,
like the fox hunt that comes

across our school grounds.

He was one of the very few boys
I ever taught that had a deep

interest in that.

The destruction of our world.

Most boys like guns, of course.

You look surprised, Petrukhin.

I didn't know you were
interested in that, sir.

I mean, I knew you minded about the
dead rabbits in the wood, but...

No, I don't talk about it a lot.

I don't like to preach about it.

So I did what Anthony asked.

I told myself, if he knew
I wasn't going to give him away,

then he would keep writing to me
and I would know he was safe

and less likely to do
harm to himself.

And I have no idea if that
was the right thing to do.

I don't know, sir.

And now this man,
who does look like Anthony,

claims he doesn't recognise me.

I doubt we shall ever know
if what I did was right.

And that worries me
terribly, Petrukhin.

TV: Russia uses the Red Square
parade as a shop window of

the new weapon she is prepared
to show the world.

This year, it includes
some rocket missiles -

short and intermediate range.

Dad? I thought you'd gone to bed?

No.

I have a lot to think about, Hannah.

The bruise is getting better, I see.

It is, thank God. So clumsy of me.

I was terrified I'd still look
like this when I hold my party.

I've got to hold
a party of some sort,

Dad, before the season ends.

It's expected, apparently.

You can have a party.

- Of course. God knows
- where we'd do it.

I don't know what happens
if I don't have one.

Get a curse put on me for the
rest of my life, probably.

You haven't told me the truth
about how you got this.

But don't worry.

I haven't told the truth
to your mother, either.

About what, Dad?

About what I've got involved with.

About it being finished.

Isn't it finished?

What else do you have to do?

I shouldn't tell you.

But I have to tell someone.

You mustn't breathe a word of this.

Of course not.

Go on, Dad, please.

I'm having to deal with people
that I never thought I'd come

into contact with.

Mad generals with private
armies in the woods

with their own tanks
and soldiers playing war games.

And they have these dreams
of running the country,

of saving the British Empire,
of taking over the government.

Generals with tanks?

What do you have to do?

It's not going to be dangerous,
is it, Dad? - No.

It's not very complicated.

Don't worry, I think I can do it.

Can I do anything to help?

No, dear.

In this case, you can't.

OK, there's an array
of goodies in here.

All of this equipment
looks pretty old.

Indeed it is.

Most of it is out of date.

This, for instance - a tape recorder
inside that briefcase.

Try lifting it.

Go on.

Oh! Good lord!

- It weighs a ton.
- Yes.

Imagine struggling round,
trying to record somebody

secretly with that.

But this is much better.

This is what you'll be wearing.

That's more like it.

I'd have thought you'd have
even smaller ones by now?

No, not yet, I'm afraid.

And...

...the microphone for this tape
recorder is inside this watch.

So if people admire
your new watch...

You'd better have
a good explanation.

Precisely.

And this is the harness
you'll be wearing.

You'll need to get
comfortable with this.

You need to practise.

I bloody well will practise,
because the risk of them noticing

must be quite high.

The difficult thing, of course,
is changing the tape.

I have to change the tape as well?

Yes, they only last for an hour.

You'll need more than
that on the day.

What will happen with the tapes?

Ah, yes, well, they can't be
used in a court of law,

of course, but the government
can use them to confront

these people, strip them
of their positions and livelihood,

expose them in the press.

And we will manage to get
some of them sent to jail.

But all of them will
be disgraced, ruined.

- All of them?
- Yes, all of them.

Then the Shaw family will be ruined?

Absolutely.

I know you admire
Mr and Mrs Shaw very much.

Adore them, even.

But you mustn't let
that get in the way.

You can't feel free
to warn Richard Shaw,

or anything like that.

Nicolas, there you are, at last!

Oh, God, it's so good to see you!

It's so good to see you, too.

That's some welcome there, Hannah.

What happened here?

Don't ask.

So it didn't work out in Florence?

Not exactly, no.

I thought I was in
love with somebody.

Turns out I was wrong.

And who was this person?

Somebody a little older than I am.

But in the end, not nearly as wise.

That's what I discovered.

It was a man.

You're not surprised?

No.

I had sort of guessed.

You once said to me,
"We all have our secrets."

Yes, I did.

This is true.

- You're going to what?
- You heard.

You're going to infiltrate their
meeting and tape them secretly?

I am not infiltrating, I am
attending with Mr Shaw as his guest.

They believe you support
their cause, do they?

Do you really think they're
going to fall for that?

They already have, I think.

You think?

That's hardly going to
be good enough, is it?

- Not with these people!
- Are you going to help me or not?

Of course I am.

What I really need to talk
to you about is this.

I want your advice about my father.

I'm so worried about him.

He's got sort of entangled
doing some really odd work

for the government,
the Secret Service.

The Secret Service?

Yes, I shouldn't be telling
you this, but I just can't stop

thinking about it.

And you're the only one
that knows about these things.

You know about everything,
Nicolas, don't you?

Maybe almost everything.

My dad's got involved with these
mad bonkers generals who have tanks,

their own tanks, and private
armies in the woods.

And they have plans to...

What's the matter,
don't you believe me?

- Who are you looking for?
- No, no, I'm listening.

Don't worry.

It's just I said I'd meet one
of Max Dennis' producers here.

Max Dennis' producer?

- Really? You mean the comic on TV?
- Yes.

Are you writing for him, then?

Giving him jokes?

No, not yet.

It's just I sent this producer
some sketches and things and he said

he liked them. And would I like
to meet here this evening.

But I was already meeting you.
I didn't want to move it, so...

So you're having two meetings
at once instead?

Well, sort of,
except he's not here yet.

It would be terrific if you
got to write for Max Dennis.

Didn't know you were
that funny, Nicolas.

You're probably right, I'm not.

I don't want to ruin your chance.

We'll meet another time.

No, don't be silly.

Anyway, he's not here yet.

I want to hear about
mad generals in the woods.

That's definitely something
I don't know about.

Can you help me do
the waistcoat up, please?

Yes, of course.

You read about these things,
but you don't realise

how clumsy they are.

And difficult to wear.

Can you see any trace of it?

Move about a bit.

It's the sleeve.

You have to be careful
when you reach for things.

Yes, I'll have to wear
it here at the office,

get used to it over
the next five days.

It's in five days?

I got the invitation this morning.

They've given you no
training or anything!

It shouldn't be up to you,
it really shouldn't.

- These people have to be stopped.
- But what if you're caught?

I'm not going to think about that.

Ah, there he is!

You're marvellously
on time, as always.

Hello, Samuel.

How did you get here?

I came by train.

You said the less cars, the better.

So I did.

Have some home-made
lemonade and cake.

You've got to tuck in.

You've seen my son, Samuel,
a rare sight of him

out of the house.

Maybe this is the start
of something?

Perhaps next week
he'll be here with us?

You think we can
all be a family again?

Sitting down at meals together?

I don't know, he still
maintains he's David,

that he doesn't remember any of us.

But today he's not
skulking in his room,

and that's good, definitely.

Do you have your camera
with you, Samuel?

Your splendid camera?

You could take a picture.

I'm afraid I don't.

So no cameras today, Samuel, then?

Off you go to your
important meeting.

No doubt you'll spend the entire time
gossiping and talking about cricket.

Come on, Samuel!
You're going to be late now.

Just coming.

Samuel, I just wanted to say
thank you for everything.

Thank me? For what?

For your support.

For listening to me.

For giving me hope.

I didn't do any of
those things, did I?

Oh, yes, you did.

Of course you did.

I know it's an odd situation
with him refusing to recognise us,

and no doubt it'll drive me crazy
if it goes on very much longer,

and we may have to get
a psychiatrist for him.

But he's here now.

And it's already had an
extraordinary effect on me.

All sorts of thoughts are buzzing -

what I'm going to do differently,
how I'm going to change my life,

how I'm going to be more engaged
with what's going on out there.

Sounds exciting.

It is, isn't it?

We really have to go.

So thank you.

Don't stay any longer
than you need to, darling.

Of course not.

I'll tell them to get
a bloody move on.

Big day, Samuel.

BELL RINGS

I thought I'd seize this chance
to say something to you all.

Mr Samuel, together with his father,
took a lot of risks to establish

this firm and develop
their inventions.

And Mr Samuel continues to take
risks on all our behalf.

And I just wanted to pay
tribute to that today,

for us to acknowledge that.

And for us to wish him luck...

...in all business matters.

Ah, Mr Shaw.

I'm afraid no cars
are allowed in today.

You need to walk from here.

Walk?

Even me?

Even you, sir.

I'm so glad you're here
with me today, Samuel.

Thank you.

I have no idea what
to expect, really.

It'll be interesting.

I promise you that.

There she is.

The RAF used to own her.

Bomber Command was here
during the war.

I think the general and his friends
got her dirt cheap.

We could always go for a hearty meal
at a little pub instead.

Skip the meeting entirely.

Tempting, Samuel.

Very tempting.

Not possible, I'm afraid.

Come on, we seem
to be almost the last.

Haven't got one of those
to check in, have you, Samuel? - Huh!

FAINT SPORTS COMMENTARY

There you are! For a moment,
I almost thought you weren't coming.

Good afternoon, Samuel.

Welcome to our little gathering.

Quite a distinguished guest list,
in fact.

There's a duke over there,
a couple of lords.

Several reliable members
of the Secret Service.

So many of them want to meet you.

Meet me? Why on earth
would they want to meet me?

Ah, Mr Petrukhin, the Bleeper Man.

Welcome indeed.
So glad that you agreed to join us.

Got it with you in your pocket,
I see, your pager machine.

A lot of people want to hear
about that.

Excellent.

The Bleeper Man is here, everybody.

So many people want
to find out how it works.

See, Samuel?
At last, you've managed it.

Everybody wants
the staff locator now.

Dukes, lords, generals.

Now, you really must get
yourself a drink.

GONG CLASHES

Everybody on the terrace!

GONG CLASHES

This is the bit I've been
waiting for.

FAINT SPORTS COMMENTARY

Right, everyone's
eyes on the woods over there.

Told you I could
make a wood move, didn't I?

DOOR OPENS

Yes? Can I help you?

Can I help you, Mary?

You can at least say my name,
can't you?

I think it's time you
and I had a word together.

About what?

About what you're doing
to your mother and father.

Keeping this up the whole time.

Pretending to be somebody else.

I'm not Anthony, I keep telling you.

Do you think I'm blind,
as well as deaf?

Do you think because I sit
in a corner all day

that I don't see anything
or understand anything?

Like your father's drinking

and his endless talk
with Arthur about politics?

Or your mother's grief?

Do you think we don't all wonder
about disappearing somewhere,

changing our lives?

I know I have many times.

I don't know what you mean.

What you did was quite brave,
really.

Braver than any of us.

Oh, utterly ruthless, of course.

Brutal, even.

But you made the break,
like I never did.

- I'm not Anthony.
- Ssh!

You got away from this house.

This house that was always
full of Arthur's politics.

You didn't want to be a part of it.
Of course you didn't.

So you got away.

You disappeared,
where no-one could find you.

I may be wrong about your reasons,

but I'm sure of this.

You are Anthony.

You are the boy I liked so much.

Who spent many lazy afternoons
with me.

Who was always calm, always gentle.

And kind to me.

And I have missed you incredibly,
Anthony.

More than you could
possibly imagine.

ANIMATED CHATTER

Hello, Mr Petrukhin.

Hello.

Over here, my friend.

I'm just making a few final
adjustments for my speech.

You're making a speech, Richard?

Yes. I have to.

I'm the star turn today, I'm afraid,

so I have to make sure
I perform well.

And I'm managing
to keep off the alcohol.

What would happen
if you had a drink now?

Oh, I don't think
we should dwell on that.

Wouldn't stop at one.

Would probably result in me
doing the speech on all fours,

crawling across the stage.

Maybe just one wouldn't do any harm.

You keep tempting me, my friend,
to skip the whole thing.

First the trip to the pub
and now this. Why?

Well, I didn't think today
was that important.

Well, you were wrong.
Don't be fooled.

I may seem like I don't take
too much seriously these days,

but in actual fact,
the complete opposite is true.

Is it?

Yes. I believe
there is something very wrong

in how the world is now.

I believe the empire
has to be saved.

It can't just be given away.

And, of course, the Russians
have to be driven out of Europe.

And that means we have to
change things here.

Richard, you don't have
to talk about this now. - Don't I?

Well, I rather feel I do, because
you don't seem to understand.

Hello, you two.

What doesn't Samuel understand?

He doesn't understand quite
how serious this meeting today is.

Oh, really?
I thought we'd made that clear.

Well, I wasn't sure. There are so
many people here. I didn't know...

What, if they can all be thinking
the same thing? - Exactly.

Indeed they are. This is the plan.

- The plan?
- It is gloriously straightforward.

I noticed you have a new watch,
Samuel.

You're very observant. Yes, I do.

Very up to date.

Hannah got it for me.
My birthday present.

Hannah. What a lovely present
from your daughter.

Expensive, too.

Yes. I think her mother
lent her some of the money.

Do you want to hear the plan?

Of course.

So, Samuel, what is proposed
is this -

to encircle London Airport
with tanks.

Not just General Maddock's
private army,

but two other regiments
we know we can mobilise.

We will also be encircling three
other strategically important sites.

These locations, by the way,

are about to request
your pager system.

Unwittingly helping us.

I have used my influence to make
sure that that happens.

And that will be very important
operationally on the day.

Which, of course, explains
why you're here, Samuel.

I see. Makes sense.

They can't be listened into,
like radio.

Absolutely.

That's right.

And what are these tanks
going to do, Arthur?

- They don't need to do anything.
- Don't they?

The public will be told although
there are tanks on the street,

it is all an exercise
to protect national security.

But the government will realise that
the airport and these other sites

have been taken in an operation that
they had absolutely no control over.

This will concentrate
their minds very quickly,

lead to a change of personnel
at the top

and a complete change of direction,
without any blood being spilt,

or the general public being involved
in any way.

I see.

This is where my dear friend
Richard here comes in.

War hero, already immensely popular
with the public.

They will believe
everything he says.

He will lead the new government

and help us reverse the disastrous
direction we've been heading in,

which is deteriorating by the day.

You understand now, Samuel?

He understands, I'm sure.

Yes, I do.

And will it work, this plan?

Oh, yes. I can't see
anything stopping it.

Even with so many people
being involved.

Secrecy has been preserved
surprisingly well.

What time does your new watch
say it is, Samuel?

Er... almost 5:30.

It's one minute slow,
your new watch.

We're getting very close
to the real business of the day.

I'm going to get another drink now.
Fortify myself.

He's such an extraordinary man,
isn't he?

Such a terrific mind.

He's been like a teacher to me,
really.

In everything, for most of my life.

And he always surprises me.

Hello, Mum.

I said, hello, Mum.

Hello, Anthony.

HE SOBS QUIETLY

WHISPERS: My darling.

When I decided to go,

I never, ever meant it
to be so long.

I know what I done is wrong,
that I've hurt you horribly.

No, you don't need to say that.

I don't blame you.

I'm not angry. You must blame me!

You must be angry!
You should be so... so furious!

Not any more.

You are back with us,
you are back with me.

And that's all that matters,
my darling boy.

And there's a whole different
person to discover,

because I never knew the old Anthony
well enough, did I?

I never discovered the true Anthony.

But I will now.

When you found me,
it didn't just happen.

When you took me away from
the hotel, it didn't stop.

I couldn't be Anthony...

You don't need to explain.

Not now, maybe not ever.

And as I get to know you,
with your new voice and everything,

you'll find out about me.

I hope so, anyway.

Because I am not going
to be that same person again.

I don't quite know how it will be,

but you'll help me, I'm sure.

I'm never going to hold
another party, for a start.

Not for Arthur, not for Walton,
not for anyone.

And do you know what?

I can't even ring your father,
I can't tell him yet,

because I don't know where he is.

He's at one of his endless
important meetings.

But he'll be back later.

And waiting for him

will be the greatest present
he's ever had.

Good show. Very good show.

Ah! I'm still on the fruit juice,
which is lucky.

An awful lot of details
to get across in my speech.

Of course.

DOOR CREAKS OPEN AND CLOSES

DOOR CREAKS OPEN AND CLOSES

I think it's about to start,
isn't it - the speeches?

DOOR CREAKS OPEN AND CLOSES

Mr Petrukhin.

Your bleeper is going to be useful
to us, I hear.

Absolutely, I'm sure it will.

CONSTANT TICKING

Here's to our plans.

Which we know you will never
tell anybody about.

And here's to you joining us
one day.

Now it's over... isn't it?

How do I look?

You look very good, Mum.

I haven't worn this for so long.

Just because I'm not going to have
any more parties

doesn't mean I can't get dressed up
when there's something to celebrate.

And there's certainly something
to celebrate tonight.

When your father gets home, we're
going to start with a vengeance.

- He'll be home soon, then?
- Yes. Very soon.

And then we're going to have
a feast.

No meat, of course.

GONG CLASHES

LOW CHATTER

Studying the audience, are you?

Some of them are odd bedfellows,
but they can all be relied on.

I just realised, where's Walter?
I didn't see him anywhere.

Ah, that's because Walter
was never one of us.

He really did like
his Victorian buildings.

I'm surprisingly nervous, old chap.

Then maybe someone else can do it,
give the details.

There you go again.

Huh!

Take your seat, Samuel.

So here's my chance
to welcome you all formally.

We all know why we're here, so there's
no need for me to beat about the bush,

except to say that the situation
has become even more urgent,

with these appalling riots
in London.

Riots in our capital!

HE SIGHS

Because of all the people
we've unwisely let into our country.

Now, I am going to introduce you
to our main speaker,

who will be going over some
of the operational details for you.

I hardly need to remind you that
not a single word you hear tonight

must be breathed outside this room.

It's a great privilege to welcome

somebody I regard as
a very good friend.

One of the most inspirational
figures in the country,

and one of the most charming.

Richard Shaw.

APPLAUSE

Ahem!

Thank you, Reginald,
for that fulsome introduction.

Too flattering, as always.

I'm going to get
straight to the point.

Because we all know why
this is a momentous meeting.

Although there is just one thing
I want to say first.

I know none of you will use
this word,

but let nobody call this treason.

I was a soldier for many years
before I entered Parliament,

and I can tell you,
this is not treason.

This is our duty.

- Hear, hear!
- APPLAUSE

We have been forced to act
because of the extraordinary

and incomprehensible decision
of our present government

to dismantle the British Empire.

We all know that will be a disaster!

Hear, hear!

The reduction of these islands
to an unimportant outcrop

that the rest of the world
will treat with derision.

We will not let that happen!

APPLAUSE

And, of course, there's that
second evil we're all aware of.

The influence everywhere
of the Soviet Union.

The Russians have penetrated
deep into our government,

and, no doubt, into the governments
of our closest allies as well.

Come on! Come on, you're late!

TELEVISION BROADCAST

So... you are all aware, I believe,

of the most important
strategic sites.

London Airport, Broadcasting House,
the centre of radio,

Fleet Street, and one of our
main military air bases.

LAUGHTER ON TELEVISION

TV: Company, halt!

I'm General Mad Dog Bonkers!

And I'm going to take over
the world.

The world, sir? The whole world?

Indeed! Well, making a start
with this country,

because I've got my own
private army, you see.

Which Major Barney
here has been raising.

Oh, I have, sir.
Most definitely, sir.

We've been training in the woods,
haven't we? Training in the woods.

With good old British mud
on our faces.

So everything, of course,
will depend on timing

and having very good communications
on the day.

Now, we're going to be using
a new paging system

when we get on to these sites,

so that our messages to each other
can't be... monitored.

Just one moment, please.

- We have been training.
- Training! Training!

See, I've got a jolly big house.

And at the bottom of my garden,
there's a jolly big wood.

And in there, I've got a lot of jolly
big tanks and my own private army.

And pretty soon, we're going
to be coming out of the trees.

Out of the trees!

And we're going to teach everyone
a lesson, aren't we, Major Barney?

Oh, yes, we are, sir!

Suddenly, you'll wake up
and there we'll be!

Yeah. And then you can rest easy
in your beds, safe and sound,

because we're going to march down
Whitehall with our great big tanks,

handing out free bananas,
free bananas,

for anyone who joins us
and realises we're in charge now.

Free bananas!

Well, it is a coincidence, isn't it?
It must be.

A total bloody coincidence.

I'm sure it is.

And you got friends in high places,
don't you, sir?

I most certainly do.

Oh, yes, Old Mad Dog has got
friends in very high places.

Some of them are even...
lords of the realm!

And they're going to be helping us
out in all sorts of ways.

Yes, I'm General Mad Dog Bonkers,

and I'm going to save
the British Empire!

- Because we're not a tiny island!
- We are not!

No.

The cat is out of the bag.

Cos we're not tiny!

Can't let a fucking comedian
stop us, surely?

Everyone will be shouting,
"We're not tiny",

out of their first-floor windows.

I think a slight delay
may be necessary.

We're not tiny!

What's more, now we have
our tanks on the streets,

those Ruskies are going to have
to take us a lot more seriously, as well.

There's been a leak, obviously.

We should all get out of here.

They'll be quaking in their boots,
sir. Quaking in their snowy boots.

Yes, they're going to be quaking in their
boots because there's Reds everywhere.

Well spotted, Major Barney.

But worry not, Mad Dog and his friends
will have everything under control.

Oh, yes, we'll soon have the
whole country marching in step

and feeling proud again!

We're going to put the swagger
back into Blighty.

- Yeah, because we're not tiny!
- We're not tiny!

No Johnny Foreigner is ever going
to make a laughing stock of us ever again.

And now you are going to tell
the viewing millions how they can join us.

I most certainly am!

You may write to us at -

General Mad Dog Bonkers,

We're Not Tiny,
Bulldog House, Pall Mall, London.

And you have to be at least 10 years
old to join up, don't you, sir?

You do.

Although, if your father has
a title, you may join at seven.

Because we're not tiny!

Thank you.

Mr Petrukhin? Just one moment.

Could you come this way, please?

- What for?
- It will only take a moment.

Why do they want to see me?

You could have asked.

I'm an... I'm an electrics man,
I was keeping a record.

I was keeping a record!

This is outrageous.

I'm a guest here!

Hello?

DOOR CLICKS

FOOTSTEPS

Get down on your knees.

I bloody well will not.

Doesn't make any difference.

I always thought
you weren't one of us.

Of course I wasn't.

GUNFIRE

Couldn't let that happen,
could I, Samuel? -

let it be the end
of the Bleeper Man.

He's always liked you.

For several months now,
I've been carrying a gun. I...

...didn't think I'd ever
have to use it.

- I ought to thank you.
- No need.

Needless to say, this is not
how I expected the evening to end.

Being disrupted by a comedian,
some would say rather appropriately.

The death of a Secret Service man.

There's usually somebody that
oversteps the mark, isn't there?

Why is that?

In the end, you didn't believe
in us, did you?

No.

That is a pity.

I'm sorry to be so obvious, Arthur,

but are you going to call
the police?

HE CHUCKLES

You expect a lot, Samuel.

No, I'm not going to call
the police.

You can, of course, but I will not
be here when they arrive.

I'll disappear for a while.

And I'll be very difficult to find.

So, what's going to happen
at this precise moment? How do I...

Get away from me?

Just in the normal way.

We'll order a local taxi.

MUSIC: Move It
by Cliff Richard and The Shadows

MUSIC ECHOES:
It's called
rock and roll...

I thought you might want these, sir.

Ah.

Thank you.

Although you'll probably want
to chuck them out now,

after what you've been through.

There's been nothing about it
in the papers,

even though I reported everything
to you and the police.

Well, given the people involved,

there wouldn't have been,
would there?

The man who was killed was
a member of the Secret Service,

so the public will be protected
from all the details.

You were the only witness, Samuel.

So I was.

Will you be able to find
Lord Wallington, do you think?

No, I very much doubt it.

He'll no longer be in the country.

He'll know how to vanish.

I'm sorry I failed to get
any of the tapes out.

Oh, don't worry.

There will be other opportunities,
almost certainly.

They'll be back,
in some form or other,

with another wild attempt at a coup.

But we'll be ready for them -

maybe armed with a comedian
or two this time.

Oh, yes. I never thought ridicule
could be so effective.

I don't suppose we'll ever know how
they got a hold of all the details.

Well, they're finally free
of his influence, at least.

- You think it was all due to him?
- Yes.

She's totally innocent, of course.

And as for Richard, it was probably
a bout of summer madness.

So you're still in love
with them, clearly.

Certainly not.

I am free of them, too.

I no longer want to be the perfect
English gentleman.

Oh! I almost forgot.

Yesterday, I went to the hospital,
on the off chance His Lordship

might be pulling
the same trick you did.

And what did I see,

but the staff locator everywhere?

You see? I did have
a party after all.

Dad?

This is Joel.

He's a friend of mine.

- Nice to meet you, sir.
- Lovely to meet you, too.

SHE LAUGHS

That's the first step, anyway.

Another friend of mine, Dad.
Nicholas Harper.

He taught me at etiquette class.

Yes, I always wondered
whose class she was really in.

And now he writes jokes
for Max Dennis.

Ah, well, you must
tell me all about that.

I feel you have rather a lot
to tell me.

You keep looking around.

They're not going to come.
They're not.

They will.

Time to buy your raffle tickets!

There are many good prizes,
including a camera with a zoom lens

used by secret agents.

I won't be claiming it, of course,
since I've been forbidden

to take part - on account of
the fact that I nearly always win.

LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE

My dear old chap,
what a summer we've had, haven't we?

Kathleen says it's time
for a new start.

Little terrifying at my age.

You haven't heard
from Arthur, have you?

- Here's to Mad Dog Bonkers.
- HE LAUGHS

Did your father ever tell you
what happened with him

and generals in the private army?

No, not yet.

He said it's an official secret.

Ah, one of those.

He'll tell me one day, I hope.

Anthony's suddenly come back
and Arthur's suddenly vanished.

Isn't that an odd thing
to have happened?

Perhaps there's a connection.

In some way?

Maybe it's good that
Arthur's gone now.

And maybe he'll stay vanished.

I should have known more, Samuel.

I really should have.

Richard seems a little bit lost
without Arthur at the moment.

But he'll be OK, I think.
He has to grow up eventually.

But I love him so.

Of course.

But it's so good your children
are back with you, Sam.

And Anthony, of course,
if he goes off somewhere again,

then that's all right.
Of course it is.

The only thing that matters
is knowing they're safe.

That's absolutely right.

I've just realised.

I've hardly any idea what
my daughter has been up to

this entire summer.

GONG RINGS

I just want to propose a toast.

I never make speeches.

This is, in fact, my first one ever,
so it'll be only one sentence.

LAUGHTER

I just want to make a toast
to my daughter, Hannah,

of course, whose party this is.

And to the rest of my family,
Samuel and Sasha,

and to the end of the season!

Oh! And, of course, to the
invaluable staff locator too!

Which is now up and running and
about to take over all your lives!

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Can I just add? Everybody
should notice Hannah's clocks.

Well, you can't really miss them,
can you?

They're worryingly called
the Doomsday Clock,

after the nuclear clock
which reminds us just how close

we are to you-know-what.

The real one is set at
three minutes to midnight.

And these ones are, quite rightly,
set at 8.30.

Let's all drink to that, shall we?

Hear, hear.
