1 00:00:40,910 --> 00:00:42,470 Two and seven is only for the lady. 2 00:00:42,810 --> 00:00:44,550 Oh, good morning, sir. Good morning. 3 00:00:46,070 --> 00:00:49,490 How are you off for venison? Venison, sir? Well, we don't get much call for 4 00:00:49,490 --> 00:00:52,890 that, sir. However, if you'd like to come with me through the back here, sir, 5 00:00:52,890 --> 00:00:54,230 might be able to oblige you, sir. 6 00:00:54,490 --> 00:00:55,490 This way, sir. 7 00:00:56,690 --> 00:01:00,990 How much, sir, exactly would you be wanting, sir? It's quite a large party. 8 00:01:00,990 --> 00:01:01,889 morning, Alice. 9 00:01:01,890 --> 00:01:03,210 How many questions do we have, sir? 10 00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:04,590 We aim to take 18. 11 00:01:04,910 --> 00:01:08,710 18? Oh, yes. Well, of course, we'll have to cut all the fat off and bowl it, and 12 00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:10,330 that is quite enough of that, Steve. 13 00:01:10,830 --> 00:01:11,830 All right, listen to this. 14 00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:16,010 Dossier 03 -1124. Sharp, Andrew Bryan, British subject. 15 00:01:16,410 --> 00:01:21,490 26th of January, 1959, defected to Aberrame. Assumed Aberranian 16 00:01:21,490 --> 00:01:25,350 59, appointed head of Radio Aberrame. June 61, Minister of the Interior. 17 00:01:25,550 --> 00:01:27,630 September 63, head of military operations. 18 00:01:28,770 --> 00:01:33,390 Sharp arrives 1100 February 17th for 72 hours. You are in charge of security. 19 00:01:52,620 --> 00:01:53,620 How have you got my message? 20 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,560 Obviously. I've been doing the shopping. 21 00:01:56,340 --> 00:01:57,340 Obviously. 22 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,440 I take it it's about Andrew Sharp. 23 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,080 Obviously. I've been working all night. 24 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,700 Most of his papers are saying he shouldn't be allowed back into the 25 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,880 Well, you can hardly blame him. As far as they're concerned, he's still a 26 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,500 traitor. As far as I'm concerned, he's still a traitor. 27 00:02:10,780 --> 00:02:15,160 Maybe, but he visits this country under diplomatic immunity, and we have to 28 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,880 treat him as a responsible minister of a friendly power. 29 00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:20,460 Even to the point of doing an arm and deal with him? 30 00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:25,410 The British government have invited General Sharp, as he now is, to purchase 31 00:02:25,410 --> 00:02:26,590 arms for one reason. 32 00:02:27,450 --> 00:02:29,670 Simply that we don't want him to do a better deal than anyone else. 33 00:02:30,230 --> 00:02:33,550 Thinking that in return for a few tanks and guns, he'll promise not to look 34 00:02:33,550 --> 00:02:34,950 elsewhere. That's the idea. 35 00:02:35,250 --> 00:02:36,250 Where do I come in? 36 00:02:36,590 --> 00:02:39,770 Well, I have to make arrangements with Special Branch Airport Police concerning 37 00:02:39,770 --> 00:02:43,190 their arrangements. I thought perhaps you might go to the embassy and Sharp's 38 00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:44,750 hotel and see how everything is at that end. 39 00:02:45,210 --> 00:02:46,210 Why can't you go? 40 00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:49,910 Well, they may be suspicious. They know my face from, uh... 41 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,620 A little bloodbath on the border about four years ago. 42 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,640 There'll be a repeat performance here if you don't still put this meat in the 43 00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:57,640 fridge. Oh! 44 00:02:58,460 --> 00:03:00,300 I don't know why I've gone to dealing with this butcher. 45 00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:04,840 How wrongly, doesn't it, dear? We are protecting a man five years ago we're 46 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:05,779 trying to get rid of. 47 00:03:05,780 --> 00:03:06,759 Who, the butcher? 48 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:07,760 No, Sharp. 49 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,960 They tried to kill him more than once and lost, oh, a few good agents in the 50 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,960 process. 51 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,860 Steve Rayner, missing, presumed dead. 52 00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:19,670 Mark Charter, killed in operations. 53 00:03:19,970 --> 00:03:21,710 I wonder what they'd think now. 54 00:03:29,090 --> 00:03:30,490 I'd like to see Mr. Quilpy. 55 00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:32,390 I'm afraid Mr. Quilpy's busy. It's urgent. 56 00:03:33,010 --> 00:03:33,969 Your number? 57 00:03:33,970 --> 00:03:35,390 S -O -double -one -one -two -seven. 58 00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:43,910 What name was it, sir? 59 00:03:44,110 --> 00:03:45,110 Uh, Charter. 60 00:03:46,350 --> 00:03:47,850 But you can call me Mark. 61 00:03:49,630 --> 00:03:53,110 This afternoon, Mrs. Gale is meeting with the ambassador about the security 62 00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:54,490 arrangements within the embassy. 63 00:03:54,750 --> 00:03:58,710 Right. And I've laid on with the police for a special police escort for Sharp 64 00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:59,750 all the way from the airport. Good. 65 00:04:00,610 --> 00:04:02,430 Excuse me, sir. Yes. There's a Mr. 66 00:04:02,690 --> 00:04:03,690 Charter to see you. 67 00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:06,430 There's only one Charter I know, Mark Charter, and he's dead. 68 00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:07,710 He's not, sir. 69 00:04:07,810 --> 00:04:08,810 He's in my office. 70 00:04:09,250 --> 00:04:10,250 What? 71 00:04:12,970 --> 00:04:13,970 Morning. 72 00:04:14,590 --> 00:04:15,810 We thought you were dead. 73 00:04:16,190 --> 00:04:17,190 I know. 74 00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:19,230 It's upsetting, isn't it? 75 00:04:19,810 --> 00:04:20,810 All right, Ellis. 76 00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:24,550 I heard you've been sentenced to death. 77 00:04:25,090 --> 00:04:26,049 I was. 78 00:04:26,050 --> 00:04:27,050 And executed. 79 00:04:27,150 --> 00:04:30,470 No, they changed their nasty little minds and kept me alive for questioning. 80 00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:31,809 For five years? 81 00:04:31,810 --> 00:04:33,410 No, they only questioned me for five months. 82 00:04:33,690 --> 00:04:36,750 What about Steve Rayner? Is he alive, too? Rayner's dead. I was the lucky one. 83 00:04:36,910 --> 00:04:39,210 Lucky? Well, up to a point. How did you get out? 84 00:04:39,630 --> 00:04:41,030 They released me. When was that? 85 00:04:41,330 --> 00:04:42,229 Last night. 86 00:04:42,230 --> 00:04:43,230 Why did they let you go? 87 00:04:43,530 --> 00:04:45,150 But I'm afraid I didn't have time to ask. 88 00:04:46,110 --> 00:04:47,110 Tell us what happened. 89 00:04:47,930 --> 00:04:52,090 Well, about midnight on Wednesday, one of the guards woke me up. First time 90 00:04:52,090 --> 00:04:53,090 bothered me for years. 91 00:04:53,370 --> 00:04:56,350 There was a lieutenant with him, read a message from the palace. I thought it 92 00:04:56,350 --> 00:04:57,450 was going to be an execution order. 93 00:04:58,190 --> 00:05:01,390 They gave me a suit, bundled me into a car, and put me aboard the first 94 00:05:01,390 --> 00:05:02,550 available flight for London. 95 00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:05,930 What's the matter? You look as if you've seen a ghost. 96 00:05:06,850 --> 00:05:10,190 I must say, you're very casual. I suppose you realize that officially 97 00:05:10,190 --> 00:05:13,050 been dead for five years. As far as I'm concerned, so have you. 98 00:05:13,570 --> 00:05:15,770 Charter, if we'd known he was still alive, would you have done something 99 00:05:15,770 --> 00:05:17,650 it? Yes, of course you would. Don't worry about it. 100 00:05:18,770 --> 00:05:19,890 What happened to Rainer? 101 00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:21,309 Rainer's dead. 102 00:05:21,310 --> 00:05:22,730 You told us that. I want to know how. 103 00:05:23,270 --> 00:05:24,630 Nemanja. You sure? 104 00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:25,950 Of course. 105 00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:29,310 You never found out the true purpose of your mission? To kill Sharp? 106 00:05:29,950 --> 00:05:32,650 No, they had to rig up our trial with a lot of phony charges. 107 00:05:36,250 --> 00:05:39,590 Have you, uh... Have you read today's papers? 108 00:05:40,170 --> 00:05:42,350 You mean about General Sharp coming to London? 109 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:44,900 He's gone up in the world, hasn't he? 110 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,920 Is that all you're going to say? 111 00:05:47,460 --> 00:05:51,100 What do you expect me to say? Five years ago, you wanted Sharp killed. I 112 00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:52,580 volunteered, and I failed. 113 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,820 That's the way it goes, isn't it? 114 00:05:55,860 --> 00:06:00,320 Anyway, being in prison has its compensations. You owe me five years' 115 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,800 plus overseas allowance. I'll settle for a round figure of 15 ,000 pounds. 116 00:06:26,830 --> 00:06:27,830 Excuse me, sir. 117 00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:30,090 You're sitting in my chair. 118 00:06:30,330 --> 00:06:31,450 I'm afraid you're mistaken. 119 00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:34,110 I've had this chair for more than five years now. 120 00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:37,190 Ah, a new member. 121 00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:40,290 I say, Jenkins. 122 00:06:40,610 --> 00:06:41,409 Yes, sir? 123 00:06:41,410 --> 00:06:43,710 This gentleman is sitting in my chair. 124 00:06:44,770 --> 00:06:45,770 Sorry, Mr. Edwards. 125 00:06:46,050 --> 00:06:47,950 This has always been Mr. Charter's chair. 126 00:06:48,210 --> 00:06:52,890 Jenkins, I... If you say so, Jenkins. I really can't understand why. 127 00:06:53,190 --> 00:06:54,630 The place is going to the docks. 128 00:06:58,289 --> 00:06:59,289 Thank you, Jenkins. 129 00:06:59,610 --> 00:07:00,710 Pleasure to have you back, sir. 130 00:07:01,250 --> 00:07:03,590 Although we heard rumors... All untrue. 131 00:07:03,850 --> 00:07:04,850 So I see, sir. 132 00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:06,910 Will you have your usual? 133 00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:08,510 Thank you, Jenkins. 134 00:07:08,650 --> 00:07:11,630 Well, I'd like to roam for a couple of days with a bath, if you can manage, 135 00:07:11,690 --> 00:07:12,690 I'll do my best, sir. 136 00:07:19,850 --> 00:07:20,850 May I talk to you? 137 00:07:21,150 --> 00:07:22,150 Hello, Steve. 138 00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:25,950 I'm very sorry to disturb you in the sacred precinct, but... 139 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,620 Whatever word? What about? 140 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,520 Sharp. Look, my dear old fellow, I've only been in this country ten hours. I'd 141 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:39,260 appreciate some time on my own. Sharp is due here in a... 48 142 00:07:39,260 --> 00:07:41,080 hours. Also got to do with me? 143 00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:42,300 Quite a bit. I'll come. 144 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,780 Hasn't it occurred to you what a coincidence it is that your release 145 00:07:46,780 --> 00:07:51,280 years coincides with the announcement of Sharp's first visit to this country 146 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,760 since you were sent to kill him? Yes, it's a coincidence. 147 00:07:59,660 --> 00:08:02,580 Did they brainwash you at all? It was all fairly routine grade two 148 00:08:02,580 --> 00:08:05,260 interrogation. Who ordered your release? The president, I think. Not Sharp? 149 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,980 The lieutenant said his instructions came from the palace. 150 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,280 General Sharp is the head of military operations. You were his responsibility. 151 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,300 That's true. I don't see what you're getting at, Steve. He gave an interview 152 00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:16,960 the press this morning saying you overpowered your guard, stole a military 153 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,880 vehicle, went over the frontier and stowed away on a plane to London. 154 00:08:26,180 --> 00:08:28,460 Well, Mrs. Gale, I think that takes care of everything. 155 00:08:29,050 --> 00:08:30,750 How many are there in his personal bodyguard? 156 00:08:30,990 --> 00:08:33,630 Three. Our ambassador, Mrs. Gale, is just leaving. 157 00:08:33,890 --> 00:08:37,010 Ah, Mrs. Gale. Are you both quite satisfied with the arrangement? 158 00:08:37,309 --> 00:08:38,249 Yes, I think so. 159 00:08:38,250 --> 00:08:41,669 The hotel? Everything is in order. I chose the penthouse suite for the 160 00:08:41,850 --> 00:08:42,929 It makes security easier. 161 00:08:43,210 --> 00:08:45,330 And the entire staff has been screened. Good. 162 00:08:45,630 --> 00:08:46,630 You're quite happy? 163 00:08:47,350 --> 00:08:50,570 Yes, I hope everything goes according to plan. Good day, Your Excellency. I'll 164 00:08:50,570 --> 00:08:51,610 show you out, Mrs. Gale. 165 00:08:53,710 --> 00:08:55,250 If I'm sure, Mrs. Gale, for the door. 166 00:08:59,910 --> 00:09:00,689 Oh, excellent. 167 00:09:00,690 --> 00:09:01,870 What do you think will happen now? 168 00:09:02,490 --> 00:09:04,150 Your guess is as good as mine. 169 00:09:06,530 --> 00:09:08,450 What did you make of Mrs. 170 00:09:08,690 --> 00:09:09,690 Gayle? 171 00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:12,630 Charming. And perfectly genuine. 172 00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:14,930 I hope so. 173 00:09:19,030 --> 00:09:20,230 Let's open our charter. 174 00:09:21,210 --> 00:09:22,550 Thank you. Right, sir. 175 00:09:24,590 --> 00:09:25,850 Alice, where are you? 176 00:09:26,750 --> 00:09:27,750 Coming, sir. 177 00:09:32,810 --> 00:09:35,830 The accounts people are still trying to sort out your file, Mr. Charter, but in 178 00:09:35,830 --> 00:09:37,630 the meantime, here's most of them. Thank you. 179 00:09:38,010 --> 00:09:40,630 Well, if there's nothing else, I'll start spending some of this. I'll try 180 00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:43,370 keep it clear. I would like it back in a few days' time for a proper debriefing. 181 00:09:43,370 --> 00:09:46,150 Oh, yes. I wrote this out last night. It's a full report of everything that 182 00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:46,989 happened. Oh, good. 183 00:09:46,990 --> 00:09:47,929 What are you going to do now? 184 00:09:47,930 --> 00:09:50,790 I thought I might buy a car, go to the country for a few days, do a bit of 185 00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,690 fishing. If you want a car, you might try this address. It belongs to a friend 186 00:09:53,690 --> 00:09:56,310 of mine. She has a sports car. It's pretty good, and she needs to sell. 187 00:09:56,310 --> 00:09:57,310 you. You're welcome. 188 00:09:57,430 --> 00:10:00,070 I'll see you around. Where are you staying at the moment? At my club for a 189 00:10:00,070 --> 00:10:01,070 days. 190 00:10:04,330 --> 00:10:06,990 You'll contact me when you break your report. All right, sir. 191 00:10:08,250 --> 00:10:10,210 Bye. Goodbye, Mr. Charlton. 192 00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:16,130 Alice, Alice, Alice. 193 00:10:17,510 --> 00:10:19,750 Get this typed up in index, will you? Yes, sir. 194 00:10:19,950 --> 00:10:22,230 Now, Mrs. Gale, remember your friend who had a car to sell? 195 00:10:23,530 --> 00:10:24,530 Is it still the same? 196 00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:28,050 Good. Look, will you collect it and bring it round to my flat tonight? I'll 197 00:10:28,050 --> 00:10:29,050 explain later. 198 00:10:29,710 --> 00:10:32,770 Well, Stephen, what do you think? It's a pretty remarkable story. 199 00:10:33,310 --> 00:10:36,590 Which is the true story, his or theirs? Charters, I think. If he had escaped, as 200 00:10:36,590 --> 00:10:39,070 the Aberranians would have us believe, he'd surely have told us. On the other 201 00:10:39,070 --> 00:10:42,290 hand, their president can have a good many dozen reasons for concealing the 202 00:10:42,290 --> 00:10:45,210 truth. Yes, but being in jail can do some funny things to a man's mind. 203 00:10:45,510 --> 00:10:47,270 Yes, well... Well, five years. 204 00:10:47,550 --> 00:10:51,230 Has anyone ever come back from a place like that completely unbroken? 205 00:11:03,150 --> 00:11:04,250 Mrs. Gale? That's right. 206 00:11:04,670 --> 00:11:06,810 My name's Charter. I've gone about the car, you hope, is that? 207 00:11:07,050 --> 00:11:09,490 Oh, you must be the man's steed phone. Thank you. 208 00:11:10,010 --> 00:11:11,009 Would you like a drink? 209 00:11:11,010 --> 00:11:13,990 No, thanks. I'm afraid I can't stay very long. I'll take you down now and show 210 00:11:13,990 --> 00:11:15,730 you the car. Is that it outside, the convertible? 211 00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:17,950 Yes. How much do you want? Five hundred. Right. 212 00:11:18,370 --> 00:11:20,990 Well, wouldn't you like to try it out before we make up your mind? 213 00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:23,510 I mean, the M1's quite close to here. You could try it out on there. 214 00:11:24,010 --> 00:11:25,010 What's the M1? 215 00:11:26,050 --> 00:11:26,909 Don't you know? 216 00:11:26,910 --> 00:11:28,210 No, I'm afraid I've been overseas. 217 00:11:28,830 --> 00:11:30,270 You must have been away a long time. 218 00:11:30,590 --> 00:11:32,470 It's a motorway. It runs from London to Birmingham. 219 00:11:33,079 --> 00:11:34,079 Oh, I see. 220 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:35,400 Excuse me, just a thing. 221 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:12,880 to sale? 222 00:12:13,140 --> 00:12:15,620 Apparently. What a strange man. Who is he? 223 00:12:17,020 --> 00:12:18,520 Oh, didn't he announce himself? 224 00:12:18,980 --> 00:12:20,580 Yes, he said his name was Charter. 225 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,280 It would be the Charter mentioned in the sharp fire by any chance. 226 00:12:25,060 --> 00:12:26,060 Very same. 227 00:12:26,260 --> 00:12:27,540 I thought he was supposed to be dead. 228 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,360 So do we, but he's not. He escaped from a jail in Abbey Reign yesterday. 229 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,240 An extraordinary coincidence. 230 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:33,720 Yes, isn't it? 231 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,160 Oh, that smells good. 232 00:12:35,820 --> 00:12:38,720 Actually, it's hot pot. Listen, why didn't you sell him the car yourself? 233 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,880 It belonged to a friend of yours. I didn't think you'd trust me. 234 00:12:41,210 --> 00:12:42,210 That's the point. 235 00:12:42,290 --> 00:12:45,730 You realize, of course, he hasn't driven a car for about five years. 236 00:12:46,090 --> 00:12:47,130 I shouldn't worry about that. 237 00:12:47,370 --> 00:12:48,530 He isn't going very far. 238 00:12:54,030 --> 00:12:56,070 Going to be away long, sir? Going to the country. 239 00:12:56,330 --> 00:12:58,650 Morning. Going to be away for a few days. 240 00:12:58,990 --> 00:13:01,490 Well, keep your room aired then this time, sir. Thank you, Jenkins. 241 00:13:01,770 --> 00:13:02,770 Thank you, sir. 242 00:13:20,590 --> 00:13:23,410 I can't stress too strongly, Steve, how important it is that there'll be no 243 00:13:23,410 --> 00:13:27,090 disturbances. No street marches, no picking the embassy. 244 00:13:27,410 --> 00:13:29,950 Yes, sir, great. A very bad impression in Whitehall. 245 00:13:30,170 --> 00:13:33,210 Yes, if you don't succeed, then it doesn't happen. Yes, sir. I've arranged 246 00:13:33,210 --> 00:13:36,150 Special Branch about General Sharp's meetings with the Prime Minister. 247 00:13:36,390 --> 00:13:37,249 Oh, good. 248 00:13:37,250 --> 00:13:38,250 Excuse me, sir. 249 00:13:38,370 --> 00:13:39,710 I think you ought to read this. 250 00:13:39,930 --> 00:13:41,770 What is it? It's part of the report. 251 00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:44,530 The last paragraph. 252 00:13:46,630 --> 00:13:48,650 Good, sir. All right, Alison. 253 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:57,400 And in acknowledging responsibility for failing to kill Sharp in 1959, I 254 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:03,720 undertake to rectify the situation at the earliest possible... Rectify the 255 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:04,720 situation? 256 00:14:06,060 --> 00:14:10,060 It's his charter's way of saying that he received an order from us in 59, he 257 00:14:10,060 --> 00:14:14,260 acknowledges it, and he still intends to carry it out. 258 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,420 He's here to kill with not. 259 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,280 So your return rocked Whitehall to its foundation. They took it very well, 260 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:00,700 really, considering. Considering what? 261 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,120 Considering their embarrassment. 262 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,480 Why? What did they say? 263 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,840 Nothing much. You send a couple of agents to their deaths, and five years 264 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,260 one of them walks into your office. There's not a lot you can say, is there? 265 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:10,999 What do you mean? 266 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,480 Well, they presumed I was dead. 267 00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:16,120 No, I don't mean that. I mean about sending you and Stephen to your deaths. 268 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:17,780 It was just a figure of speech. 269 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:23,600 If I thought... 270 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,200 Stephen had died for nothing. 271 00:15:29,740 --> 00:15:31,100 Did you see much of him? 272 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,320 At first. 273 00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:36,280 We showed a cell together, and they separated us. I only saw him once after 274 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,120 that. How did he take it? 275 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,139 Not too well. 276 00:15:39,140 --> 00:15:40,600 He tried to escape a couple of times. 277 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,580 He said he'd kill Sharp if it was the last thing he did. 278 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,520 I wish he had. 279 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,620 That mission was a complete failure, wasn't it? It wasn't a roaring success. 280 00:15:53,620 --> 00:15:54,860 cost me five years in prison. 281 00:15:55,300 --> 00:15:56,880 It cost Stephen his life. 282 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,840 Yes. 283 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,660 Mark, why do you want this list? 284 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,760 I told you I just want to look up a couple of my old wartime contacts. 285 00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:08,780 Why? You never bothered with any of these people after the war? I never had 286 00:16:08,780 --> 00:16:11,060 time, I guess. Anyway, I thought most of them had gone back to live in France. 287 00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:11,979 Yes, they have. 288 00:16:11,980 --> 00:16:13,000 How's the writing going? 289 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,920 Oh, quite well. I'm on my fifth book. On resistance. 290 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:17,400 Life's going. 291 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,060 It didn't pay terribly well, but it helped with Dean's pension. 292 00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:21,699 There you are. 293 00:16:21,700 --> 00:16:22,700 Thank you. 294 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,280 What are you going to do now? 295 00:16:25,580 --> 00:16:28,820 I thought I might go to the country, have a rest for a few days, somewhere 296 00:16:28,820 --> 00:16:29,820 quiet. 297 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,480 Would you like to go down to the cottage? 298 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,480 Cottage? Yes, you remember, the place we had in Sussex. 299 00:16:35,180 --> 00:16:36,180 Oh, yes. 300 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,260 Yes, I'd love to. Oh, I'll give you the address. Just a minute. We'll write it 301 00:16:40,260 --> 00:16:41,740 on here, would you? Oh, all right. 302 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,840 I've got to... Oh, it's all right. I've got one here. 303 00:16:49,510 --> 00:16:52,190 I haven't been down there for ages, but it should be all right. 304 00:16:53,370 --> 00:16:59,130 Thank you. Now all you need is the key. 305 00:16:59,430 --> 00:17:04,869 Well, I'd better be off. Already? You've only just arrived. 306 00:17:05,170 --> 00:17:06,990 I'm sorry, there's one or two things I've got to do. 307 00:17:09,410 --> 00:17:10,410 Mark? 308 00:17:11,089 --> 00:17:12,089 Yes? 309 00:17:12,490 --> 00:17:14,569 You know Sharp's coming to London, don't you? 310 00:17:15,190 --> 00:17:16,190 Yes. 311 00:17:16,490 --> 00:17:20,950 If there's anything you need, any kind of help, you can always rely on me. Yes, 312 00:17:20,970 --> 00:17:21,669 I know. 313 00:17:21,670 --> 00:17:22,670 There's nothing, really. 314 00:17:23,109 --> 00:17:24,730 I just thought I'd tell you. 315 00:17:24,950 --> 00:17:25,950 Thank you. 316 00:17:26,569 --> 00:17:28,750 I see Mike Linden's running a garage. 317 00:17:29,150 --> 00:17:31,530 Yes, he's had it for some time. I'll look him up first. 318 00:17:31,930 --> 00:17:33,310 My car needs a service. 319 00:17:40,190 --> 00:17:41,190 Well, 320 00:17:42,930 --> 00:17:44,170 bring Mrs. Galen to see you. 321 00:17:44,730 --> 00:17:47,130 She'll give you a full description of the car, then. All right. 322 00:17:47,350 --> 00:17:48,650 We'll get around to you as quickly as we can. 323 00:17:49,090 --> 00:17:50,090 Yes, sir. 324 00:17:50,370 --> 00:17:51,630 Hold on a minute. There's someone at the door. 325 00:18:04,590 --> 00:18:06,510 Oh, come on in, Mrs. Gale. There's someone on the phone. 326 00:18:11,950 --> 00:18:13,390 Carter's car is at the... Hey, are you there? 327 00:18:13,850 --> 00:18:14,850 You there? 328 00:18:19,490 --> 00:18:21,170 Have you quite finished? 329 00:18:21,450 --> 00:18:23,790 Ah, there you are. Charger's car is a pretty distinctive make. 330 00:18:24,250 --> 00:18:26,550 We should alert Special Branch. Best work his way of finding. 331 00:18:26,750 --> 00:18:27,750 All right, all right. 332 00:18:30,810 --> 00:18:33,110 He must admit, Steve, it's a rather ironic situation. 333 00:18:33,610 --> 00:18:37,860 What? The nation's top security outfit moving hell and high water to try and 334 00:18:37,860 --> 00:18:40,420 track down one of their own agents. I don't give a hell of a serious decision. 335 00:18:40,900 --> 00:18:41,739 Yes, I do. 336 00:18:41,740 --> 00:18:43,760 Sharp will be here as a guest of the British government. 337 00:18:44,060 --> 00:18:47,400 If anything were to happen to him, it would be embarrassing, to say the least. 338 00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:49,240 And probably the end of the arms negotiations. 339 00:18:49,540 --> 00:18:52,760 What interests me is why Charter still wants to kill Sharp. I mean, what's his 340 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:53,760 motive? 341 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,660 Who knows? Who cares? 342 00:18:57,300 --> 00:19:00,760 After five years in an Aberranian jail, maybe he doesn't need a motive. 343 00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:02,480 Yes, five years could be enough. 344 00:19:03,140 --> 00:19:04,140 Isolation. 345 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,320 Mental disorientation, delusional obsession. 346 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,080 Can we skip the psychology? Sharp is due here in 48 hours. Doesn't it concern 347 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,760 you that Charter might be sick? 348 00:19:12,260 --> 00:19:14,300 He looked all too healthy this morning. 349 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,100 He's one of your own men, Steve. Doesn't it even interest you, his reason for 350 00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:18,959 doing it? It's irrelevant. 351 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,980 The reason he'll give us is one he's already given. Which is? 352 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,240 The reason he'll give in court when we bring him to trial. 353 00:19:25,940 --> 00:19:31,000 He is going to kill Sharp because in 1959 we ordered him to. 354 00:19:31,550 --> 00:19:33,790 Doesn't that rather prove my point that he can't be well? 355 00:19:34,110 --> 00:19:37,170 And why should he warn you? He must know you'll stop him. Well, maybe he thinks 356 00:19:37,170 --> 00:19:38,710 we can't stop him. That's ridiculous. 357 00:19:39,530 --> 00:19:41,450 It's much more likely to be a revenge. 358 00:19:41,730 --> 00:19:44,790 After five years in prison, he probably wants to get his own back on your 359 00:19:44,790 --> 00:19:45,769 security machine. 360 00:19:45,770 --> 00:19:47,130 Precisely. He knows everything we do in advance. 361 00:19:48,170 --> 00:19:50,990 Haven't your methods changed in the last five years? 362 00:19:56,470 --> 00:19:57,850 That is not the point. 363 00:19:58,170 --> 00:20:01,010 Look, come along. I'll explain the whole thing to you in the car. Mr. Quilby 364 00:20:01,010 --> 00:20:02,010 awaits us. 365 00:20:04,630 --> 00:20:05,630 After you. 366 00:20:17,250 --> 00:20:18,250 Yes, sir? 367 00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:19,710 Mike Linden. 368 00:20:20,490 --> 00:20:21,329 That's right. 369 00:20:21,330 --> 00:20:22,330 Mark Charter. 370 00:20:23,410 --> 00:20:25,670 Charter? Don't you remember me? Normandy, 43. 371 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,440 Oh, yes, I remember. 372 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,620 Helen gave me your address. 373 00:20:31,140 --> 00:20:32,079 Helen who? 374 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,080 Helen Rayner. 375 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,200 Yes, she would. 376 00:20:36,620 --> 00:20:37,820 Look, Mike. 377 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,540 I need some help, Mike.

But only because I need the 394 00:21:39,070 --> 00:21:40,070 money. 395 00:21:53,250 --> 00:21:54,250 Found the usual, please. 396 00:21:54,910 --> 00:21:55,910 What is the usual? 397 00:21:56,170 --> 00:21:58,450 Anything from shank ends to prime topside. 398 00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:59,950 But you can't cook. 399 00:22:00,450 --> 00:22:01,450 Eh? 400 00:22:05,010 --> 00:22:09,410 Where are we?

Permanent agency for national security and counterintelligence. It's 403 00:22:14,030 --> 00:22:15,030 hot end of the line. 404 00:22:15,390 --> 00:22:16,410 Well, it's pretty cold. 405 00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:20,590 Good morning, Alice. 406 00:22:20,910 --> 00:22:24,970 Morning.

The likes of modern butchery have little appeal for her. 411 00:22:32,690 --> 00:22:33,690 Alice? 412 00:22:33,890 --> 00:22:34,890 Yes, sir? 413 00:22:35,030 --> 00:22:37,230 Is Mrs. Gale here yet, and where the devil's steed? 414 00:22:37,470 --> 00:22:40,770 They just arrived, sir. Well, send them in, girl. What are you waiting for? 415 00:22:41,030 --> 00:22:44,290 The furor's all merry and bright this morning. Not one of our happy foods. To 416 00:22:44,290 --> 00:22:46,570 hear is to obey. Thank you very much indeed. 417 00:22:47,190 --> 00:22:49,790 Oh, by the way, could you ask Bob to put a pound of sausages on one side? 418 00:22:49,970 --> 00:22:50,970 Certainly, Mr. Steed. 419 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,720 And a couple of dozen chin bones. 420 00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:54,940 They're for the doctor. 421 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,160 Come along, Mrs. Gale. 422 00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:58,120 Ah, Mrs. Gale. 423 00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,399 Good morning. 424 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,940 We appreciate it only being you here in exceptional circumstances. 425 00:23:02,460 --> 00:23:04,200 Steve has outlined your problem to me. 426 00:23:05,140 --> 00:23:08,640 Could no one anticipate the Charter might do this? I mean, is there no 427 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,860 repatriation unit somewhere we could have had medical tests? That's not what 428 00:23:11,860 --> 00:23:14,220 we're here to discuss, Mrs. Gale. What I want from you is a detailed description 429 00:23:14,220 --> 00:23:16,120 of that car as it was when you last saw it. 430 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,200 According to Steve, it belonged to a friend of yours. 431 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,950 Yes. Why don't you get the description from her? 432 00:23:21,170 --> 00:23:22,170 We can't involve outsiders. 433 00:23:22,670 --> 00:23:23,670 I see. 434 00:23:23,870 --> 00:23:25,410 Well, is that all you brought me here for? 435 00:23:25,730 --> 00:23:27,770 No, we want you to trail Charter. 436 00:23:28,190 --> 00:23:29,149 Why me? 437 00:23:29,150 --> 00:23:31,970 Well, you have special qualifications, Mrs. Stitton. Today you have the 438 00:23:31,970 --> 00:23:33,310 advantage of being an outsider. 439 00:23:33,950 --> 00:23:36,410 I thought you couldn't risk involving outsiders. 440 00:23:38,630 --> 00:23:40,270 How do you suggest I go about it? 441 00:23:40,540 --> 00:23:43,360 You got that list from Record, Steve? I picked it up this morning. This is a 442 00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:47,100 list of Charter's wartime contacts. It's not so much, but it's the only lead 443 00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:47,859 we've got. 444 00:23:47,860 --> 00:23:50,460 In the meantime, Steve, I want you to break the news to the Aberranian 445 00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:51,700 Do they have to be told? 446 00:23:51,780 --> 00:23:52,499 Yes, they do. 447 00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:53,720 Well, I'm afraid you'll have to count me out. 448 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,860 Why? An unfortunate little experience with their ambassador before Aberranian 449 00:23:57,860 --> 00:24:00,900 independence. Do you remember that? Oh, yes. Well, what about the feminine 450 00:24:00,900 --> 00:24:02,480 approach? What do you say, Miss Gale? 451 00:24:02,740 --> 00:24:03,740 Yes, of course. 452 00:24:03,860 --> 00:24:06,300 Is there anything else you'd like me to do while I'm about it? 453 00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:09,120 No, I think that's all for the moment. Thank you. 454 00:24:09,690 --> 00:24:10,870 I'll see you out, Mrs. Gale. 455 00:24:11,130 --> 00:24:13,490 Let me know as soon as you get anything, and don't forget to give the 456 00:24:13,490 --> 00:24:14,670 description of the car to Alice. 457 00:24:15,170 --> 00:24:16,170 I won't forget. 458 00:24:19,010 --> 00:24:23,990 Now, Steve, what additional arrangements have you made to cope with the new 459 00:24:23,990 --> 00:24:27,890 situation? All available manpower has been laid on during the extent of the 460 00:24:27,890 --> 00:24:29,230 visit, twice the normal amount. 461 00:24:29,790 --> 00:24:32,670 And there'll be a complete security guard on sharp. 462 00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:34,220 from his time in these airports. 463 00:24:34,540 --> 00:24:38,100 Sharp's visit may be unpopular, but it's vital if we're to maintain a proper 464 00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:39,820 area of influence in Southwest Asia. 465 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,080 Yes, sir. 466 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,400 Let's hope that Mrs. Gale exercises a proper area of influence in Southwest 467 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,400 London. 468 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,580 Our ministry feels that in view of Charter's disappearance, we should 469 00:24:54,580 --> 00:24:57,460 consider cancelling General Sharp's visit. That's out of the question. 470 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,380 The flight's already left Abelrain, Mrs. Gale. He'll be here at half past ten. I 471 00:25:01,380 --> 00:25:04,060 mean, cancellation at this stage would arouse considerable comment. 472 00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:08,260 Our neighbours might look upon it as a diplomatic rebuff. In any case, the 473 00:25:08,260 --> 00:25:08,979 is vital. 474 00:25:08,980 --> 00:25:12,240 I see. Presumably your people will strengthen the security arrangements. 475 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,180 Yes, we've already worked out another plan. I'll be getting in touch with you 476 00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:15,919 this afternoon. 477 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,340 Well, I know we can rely on the British authorities to take every precaution, 478 00:25:19,420 --> 00:25:20,349 Mrs. Gale. 479 00:25:20,350 --> 00:25:23,470 I'm sure everything will be all right. I hope so. Thank you for seeing me. 480 00:25:24,530 --> 00:25:24,950 I'm... 481 00:25:24,950 --> 00:25:31,850 Gail is 482 00:25:31,850 --> 00:25:32,469 just leaving. 483 00:25:32,470 --> 00:25:33,470 Have her followed. 484 00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:34,990 Why? 485 00:25:35,130 --> 00:25:37,310 Just to make sure that her visit here was perfectly genuine. 486 00:25:37,610 --> 00:25:39,650 It'll be interesting to see where she goes to next. 487 00:25:39,930 --> 00:25:41,550 I suppose you realize the implications. 488 00:25:41,770 --> 00:25:42,749 Oh, too well. 489 00:25:42,750 --> 00:25:46,170 I learned my lesson during the Revolution. One should never trust the 490 00:25:46,410 --> 00:25:47,890 Even when they're trying to help us? 491 00:25:48,370 --> 00:25:50,570 Least of all when they're trying to help us. 492 00:26:07,590 --> 00:26:08,870 Hello. Are you receiving? 493 00:26:09,310 --> 00:26:10,910 Oh, good afternoon, miss. What can I do for you? 494 00:26:11,170 --> 00:26:13,010 Well, I hope you can help me. What do, my dear? 495 00:26:13,250 --> 00:26:14,270 I'm looking for a car. 496 00:26:14,870 --> 00:26:17,330 Well, I've got several nice models around the back. Come and have a look. 497 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,520 What price had you in mind? Well, I'm looking for a specific car. Uh -huh. A 498 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,600 blue Vogel Prentice. 499 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,940 Oh, it's pricey. A bit out of my range. 500 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,400 I owned one until yesterday. Then I sold it to a man called Charter. 501 00:26:29,980 --> 00:26:30,980 Really? 502 00:26:31,420 --> 00:26:33,980 Well, don't you know him? He's a friend of mine. 503 00:26:34,700 --> 00:26:35,700 Should I? 504 00:26:35,980 --> 00:26:38,860 He often talks about you. I understood you were in a resistance together. 505 00:26:39,740 --> 00:26:40,740 It's possible. 506 00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:44,940 There are others in London who fought together in France during the war. And I 507 00:26:44,940 --> 00:26:46,620 don't remember anybody named Charter. 508 00:26:47,210 --> 00:26:48,210 It's strange. 509 00:26:49,630 --> 00:26:50,650 Anyway, he's disappeared. 510 00:26:51,410 --> 00:26:53,350 I don't think I'll be able to help you. 511 00:26:54,670 --> 00:26:57,710 He talked about having the car re -spread. That's why I thought he might 512 00:26:57,710 --> 00:26:58,710 come to you. 513 00:26:59,410 --> 00:27:00,410 Well, he hasn't. 514 00:27:00,970 --> 00:27:02,950 I haven't done a car like that for months. 515 00:27:03,550 --> 00:27:08,310 Well, if he does turn up, perhaps you'd ask him to get in touch with me, would 516 00:27:08,310 --> 00:27:09,310 you? 517 00:27:09,830 --> 00:27:10,870 It's all right, Mrs. Gale. 518 00:27:11,070 --> 00:27:12,070 Thank you. 519 00:27:18,139 --> 00:27:22,200 Immediate organization of security to prevent such an attempt being made. 520 00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:25,260 In view of... Coopy. 521 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,200 What? 522 00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:30,240 A court order? Listen, I don't care if they want a bill from the House of 523 00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:31,300 There isn't time. 524 00:27:32,340 --> 00:27:34,220 Well, use your blasted initiative. 525 00:27:35,740 --> 00:27:39,220 Blast him. In view... In view of the imminence of the General's arrival, the 526 00:27:39,220 --> 00:27:44,400 arrest of this man should be regarded as a matter of the gravest, repeat, 527 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,520 gravest... 528 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,340 Urgency. Get that off right away. 529 00:27:47,580 --> 00:27:48,580 Yes, sir. 530 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,320 Yes? 531 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:52,720 I see. Thank you. 532 00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:55,060 Mr. Gale is back, sir. It's about time. Sure. 533 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,480 Okay. 534 00:28:02,100 --> 00:28:03,660 I'll come in, Mrs. Gale. Any luck? 535 00:28:04,660 --> 00:28:06,540 The ambassador absconded. Just a moment. Just a moment. 536 00:28:09,500 --> 00:28:12,420 Prefect 1009, stroke 3, stroke 8. 537 00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:14,040 All right, Mrs. Gale. What did you find? 538 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,800 The ambassador absolutely refuses to cancel General Sharp's visit. I pointed 539 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,760 the danger he might be in, but he was quite adamant. 540 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,660 At midday, I left the embassy and went to Lyndon's garage, number four, 541 00:28:24,660 --> 00:28:29,100 Mews. Michael Lyndon, the proprietor, denied having seen Charter or his car, 542 00:28:29,100 --> 00:28:30,039 I think he was lying. 543 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,360 I noticed the spray gun there that was wet and obviously been used in the last 544 00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:35,120 24 hours. What was the color of the paint? 545 00:28:35,420 --> 00:28:36,420 White. White? 546 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,080 Doesn't sound very much like camouflage, does it? Is there anything else? 547 00:28:40,300 --> 00:28:41,300 No. 548 00:28:41,340 --> 00:28:43,940 1 -0 -0 -9 -stroke -3 -stroke -8 ends. 549 00:28:45,540 --> 00:28:48,560 Alice, get on to special branches, gentlemen. We think the car may not be 550 00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:52,100 Well, if you're right, Mrs. Gale, it shouldn't be very difficult to find. 551 00:28:54,820 --> 00:28:56,540 You think Charter would risk leaving London? 552 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,680 I don't know. We can't afford to take any chances. I mean, he could be a 553 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,200 miles away. He could be hiding out at the end of the street. 554 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,400 Has he got any family? 555 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,220 There's no next of kin, we're certain of that. 556 00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:09,080 Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. 557 00:29:09,870 --> 00:29:13,870 I suppose he could have gone to see Steve Rayner's widow, Helen Rayner. 558 00:29:15,090 --> 00:29:18,070 Yes. Yes, I remember Mark Charter. Of course I do. 559 00:29:18,810 --> 00:29:22,050 The only thing I can tell you about him is that your people sent him away with 560 00:29:22,050 --> 00:29:25,950 my husband to die in circumstances that were never explained to anyone's 561 00:29:25,950 --> 00:29:27,450 satisfaction, least of all mine. 562 00:29:27,990 --> 00:29:29,690 So I don't see why you've come to me at all. 563 00:29:31,550 --> 00:29:32,550 Why have you? 564 00:29:32,950 --> 00:29:35,210 Would it surprise you to know that Charter's still alive? 565 00:29:36,350 --> 00:29:37,350 Yes. 566 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,040 You don't sound very surprised. 567 00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:42,280 You've seen Charter, haven't you? 568 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,480 Look, it's imperative that we find him. 569 00:29:44,820 --> 00:29:46,640 Don't you know where he is? No, he's disappeared. 570 00:29:46,940 --> 00:29:47,940 Why would he do that? 571 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,780 Didn't he tell you? Tell me what? 572 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,280 He's going to kill Sharp. 573 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:54,760 Really? 574 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,640 Then he has my blessing. 575 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,800 I can sympathize, Mrs. Rayner, but we must try and stop him. Why? 576 00:30:01,940 --> 00:30:05,500 Apart from anything else, he's throwing away his life. He knows the risk he's 577 00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:08,440 taking. He can't hope to get away with it. He must know we've alerted the 578 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:09,440 Aberranian embassy. 579 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,260 Typical hypocrisy. 580 00:30:11,780 --> 00:30:13,060 But it won't save Sharp. 581 00:30:13,660 --> 00:30:16,340 Look, you know where Charter is and you've got to tell me. 582 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,540 Doesn't his life mean anything to you? I'm sorry, Mrs. Gayle. I can't help you. 583 00:30:20,780 --> 00:30:22,420 I hope he does kill Sharp. 584 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,960 Is that all you care about? 585 00:30:24,260 --> 00:30:25,960 Sharp's death? Yes, Mrs. Gayle, it is. 586 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,700 I think I can understand your feelings, Mrs. Rayner. 587 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,700 But doesn't it seem a terrible waste when your husband died in exactly the 588 00:30:40,700 --> 00:30:41,800 cause? No. 589 00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:45,480 Sharp's death is all that Mark's living for. 590 00:30:45,740 --> 00:30:47,240 I'm not going to stand in his way. 591 00:30:48,140 --> 00:30:50,260 You're a very vindictive woman, Mrs. Rayner. 592 00:30:50,940 --> 00:30:53,260 I thought you said you understood my feelings. 593 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:54,800 For the loss of her husband, yes. 594 00:30:55,140 --> 00:30:56,900 But not for murder or revenge. 595 00:30:57,580 --> 00:30:59,640 You don't know what it's like to be made a widow. 596 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:01,640 Yes, I do. 597 00:31:12,460 --> 00:31:13,419 I say, Jacob. 598 00:31:13,420 --> 00:31:16,040 Yes, sir? Isn't that the fellow who was in here last night? 599 00:31:16,820 --> 00:31:19,340 Mr. Charter? Yes, sir. Oh, dashed on. 600 00:31:19,860 --> 00:31:22,520 Comes back after five years and then disappears again. 601 00:31:22,980 --> 00:31:24,020 Doesn't he like the place? 602 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,480 Told me he was going to the country for a few days. 603 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,480 Waste of a good chair. 604 00:31:30,340 --> 00:31:31,500 Bring me a gin and tonic. 605 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:32,720 Yes, sir. 606 00:31:40,260 --> 00:31:41,940 Beatles, good afternoon. 607 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:43,440 Can I help you? 608 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:45,640 Oh, yes, Mrs. Gale. 609 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,720 No, I'm afraid Mr. Steed hasn't been in all day. 610 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,320 You're welcome. 611 00:31:52,780 --> 00:31:53,780 Goodbye. 612 00:32:57,860 --> 00:32:59,800 You're absolutely sure about this, Mrs. Gale? 613 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,060 Positive. That last address, Haver Cottage, near Celsius, Sussex, is in 614 00:33:04,060 --> 00:33:05,060 Rayner's handwriting. 615 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,320 And Steed was lying when he said he got that list from records. 616 00:33:07,740 --> 00:33:10,720 What's more, he must have got the list from Helen Rayner, which means he'd been 617 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,080 there before and not told us. It's not like Steed. 618 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,540 I wish I knew what the devil he was playing at. 619 00:33:15,940 --> 00:33:17,320 They found Charter's car, sir. 620 00:33:17,620 --> 00:33:20,640 Where? Abandoned in a field on the Sussex coast, near Celsius. 621 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:23,359 Thank you, Alice. 622 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:24,360 Any news of Steed? 623 00:33:24,540 --> 00:33:25,940 Well, he's still not answering his phone. 624 00:33:26,410 --> 00:33:27,410 I'll keep trying. 625 00:33:28,210 --> 00:33:31,130 Now, Mrs. Gale, can I interest you in a trip to Hazel Cottage? 626 00:33:38,310 --> 00:33:39,310 No. 627 00:33:39,650 --> 00:33:41,130 No, I'm fine. How's everything you're in? 628 00:33:42,190 --> 00:33:43,190 Mrs. Gale? 629 00:33:44,090 --> 00:33:46,510 No, she hasn't, but I'll certainly keep an eye open for her. 630 00:33:48,010 --> 00:33:50,450 Yes, I've read the papers. That should warm things up a bit. 631 00:33:51,810 --> 00:33:53,910 Right. I'll ring you later on. Bye. 632 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,300 Memorize every feature of that face. 633 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,500 It belongs to a highly trained agent. 634 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,100 I want this man, and I want him alive and in this room before the end of the 635 00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:07,260 day. That's all. Your car's waiting. 636 00:34:11,380 --> 00:34:12,380 Mr. Sufika. Hmm? 637 00:34:12,659 --> 00:34:13,659 Where are they going? 638 00:34:13,780 --> 00:34:15,219 To a house in Sussex. 639 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,960 Sussex? When we arrested Charter and Rayner in 1959... What's he got to do 640 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,580 Rayner? He's dead. Yes, of course I know that. But look at this. 641 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,760 It's a summary of their interrogation records. Look at the address given by 642 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:25,760 Rayner. 643 00:34:26,389 --> 00:34:30,389 Well, that was a coincidence, perhaps, but this afternoon Mrs. Gale paid a call 644 00:34:30,389 --> 00:34:33,090 on Rainer's widow, after which she left for Sussex. 645 00:34:33,630 --> 00:34:36,570 Couldn't all this have been dealt with by the British police? I thought it 646 00:34:36,570 --> 00:34:38,350 to get there first. With soldiers? 647 00:34:38,850 --> 00:34:41,150 It's a flagrant breach of diplomatic practice. 648 00:34:41,449 --> 00:34:44,830 In a situation like this, we cannot afford to be diplomatic. 649 00:35:12,810 --> 00:35:13,810 Mrs. Gale? 650 00:35:14,450 --> 00:35:15,790 Yes. Of course. 651 00:35:16,210 --> 00:35:17,570 You work for Steed. 652 00:35:18,170 --> 00:35:22,570 It's all right. I've come alone and unarmed. No reinforcements on the way? 653 00:35:23,110 --> 00:35:27,250 In that case, Mrs. Gale, charming as you are, I don't see what you hope to 654 00:35:27,250 --> 00:35:28,250 achieve. 655 00:35:28,710 --> 00:35:29,750 Why are you doing this? 656 00:35:29,970 --> 00:35:31,810 What? Signing your own death warrant. 657 00:35:32,050 --> 00:35:33,009 Am I? 658 00:35:33,010 --> 00:35:34,430 You can't hope to get away with it. 659 00:35:34,770 --> 00:35:38,150 Sharp's bodyguard will be prepared to shoot you on sight. If they see me. 660 00:35:39,030 --> 00:35:40,810 What brings you here, Mrs. Gale? 661 00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:44,520 Why do you still want to kill Sharp? I was ordered to. 662 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,520 That was five years ago in a theater of war. This is England, peacetime. 663 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,560 It's an entirely different situation. Is it? 664 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:52,360 What do you mean? 665 00:35:52,380 --> 00:35:53,380 I don't think so. 666 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,920 General Sharp has people shot simply because they disagree with the president 667 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,820 Everain. Does that matter to you, Mrs. Gale? 668 00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:01,260 Yes, of course it does. Well, I intend to do something about it. 669 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,220 Killing Sharp is not the answer. 670 00:36:03,420 --> 00:36:04,420 What do you suggest? 671 00:36:04,460 --> 00:36:06,260 A public reprimand from the leaders of democracy? 672 00:36:06,580 --> 00:36:09,600 A vote of censure at the United Nations? They're the only arguments for 673 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,280 civilized people. That's not the arguments of civilized people. It's the 674 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:13,620 arguments of people who can't do anything. 675 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,180 Be honest with yourself, Mrs. Gill. Why should you worry what happens to General 676 00:36:17,180 --> 00:36:19,460 Sharp? I'm not worried about Sharp. 677 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,420 I'm worried about you. 678 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,560 What is it? My Aberranian friends from the embassy. 679 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,740 Look, hide up there. They won't want to leave any witnesses alive. 680 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:37,819 What about you? 681 00:36:37,820 --> 00:36:38,820 I'll bluff it out. 682 00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:41,020 They may not know I'm here. We could ambush them. 683 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:53,680 Good afternoon. 684 00:37:16,620 --> 00:37:17,620 He's still alive. 685 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,680 I'll call an ambulance. We'd better get on here. 686 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,620 Somebody will have heard the shot. They're bound to. 687 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:23,480 Precisely. 688 00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:27,900 That's why we can't stay here. 689 00:37:28,740 --> 00:37:30,600 He'll live. We'll phone the police later. 690 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,440 Now, outside, please, Mrs. Gale. 691 00:37:33,380 --> 00:37:35,940 We'll take the embassy car. They won't be looking for that. 692 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:37,238 Where are we going? 693 00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:38,240 Back to London. 694 00:37:39,460 --> 00:37:42,760 General Sharp's plane will be landing shortly. I have no intention of 695 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,760 disappointing you. 696 00:37:51,790 --> 00:37:55,490 You know, it's the only weak link in the airport, the moment when Sharp steps 697 00:37:55,490 --> 00:37:57,850 out of that plane before getting into the armored car. 698 00:37:59,530 --> 00:38:00,530 Kobe? 699 00:38:01,110 --> 00:38:02,230 Oh, Mrs. Gill, yes. 700 00:38:03,570 --> 00:38:04,570 What? 701 00:38:05,890 --> 00:38:06,890 You left it where? 702 00:38:08,670 --> 00:38:10,130 All right, get around here as quick as you can. 703 00:38:10,890 --> 00:38:11,910 Sharp is back in town. 704 00:38:14,550 --> 00:38:18,010 How did he get past the police check? He stole a diplomatic car from the embassy 705 00:38:18,010 --> 00:38:19,930 guards. There's water, there's... 706 00:38:20,270 --> 00:38:22,670 I wish I knew where the devil's steed was. 707 00:38:23,670 --> 00:38:26,990 I don't care how long it took you to reach a telephone. You should have 708 00:38:26,990 --> 00:38:27,990 the British police. 709 00:38:28,190 --> 00:38:29,190 Return immediately. 710 00:38:29,850 --> 00:38:30,850 What happened? 711 00:38:31,550 --> 00:38:34,650 They not only let Charter escape, they even allowed him to steal their car. 712 00:38:36,930 --> 00:38:39,870 Not one of your more successful operations, Major. 713 00:38:41,070 --> 00:38:42,130 What time is it? 714 00:38:42,810 --> 00:38:43,810 Eight. 715 00:38:44,470 --> 00:38:46,090 Sharp's plane will be landing soon. 716 00:38:46,370 --> 00:38:47,850 We'd better prepare for the reception. 717 00:38:48,460 --> 00:38:50,280 How can we go on with Charterstall at large? 718 00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:56,020 He's as good an agent as you say. He should be able to find his own way here. 719 00:39:20,780 --> 00:39:21,780 General Sharpe and Mr. 720 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:22,840 Steed, Ambassador. 721 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,200 Ah, General. 722 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:25,499 How do you do? 723 00:39:25,500 --> 00:39:26,680 Well, I hope you had a pleasant trip. 724 00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:27,960 Not bad. Do you know Steed? 725 00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:31,920 No, I don't think... It was a long time, Ambassador, and a pretty hot reception. 726 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,220 Oh. How do you do? How do you do? 727 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,620 Apparently, Steed's in charge of the security arrangements for my visit here. 728 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,820 Indeed? We've been dealing with Mrs. 729 00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:42,960 Gale up till now. Why wasn't I told about Charter? 730 00:39:45,260 --> 00:39:48,260 Well, we... We didn't want to alarm you, sir. 731 00:39:48,740 --> 00:39:49,740 Alarm me? 732 00:39:49,820 --> 00:39:50,920 If I'd known, I wouldn't have come. 733 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,300 Exactly, sir. We've done everything we can to ensure your stay will be a 734 00:39:56,300 --> 00:39:57,420 successful one, General. 735 00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,280 Steed? Yes, sir. 736 00:39:59,420 --> 00:40:00,920 Do you know where Charter is now? 737 00:40:01,180 --> 00:40:03,780 Not at this very moment, sir, but I don't think you have anything to fear 738 00:40:03,780 --> 00:40:04,698 him. 739 00:40:04,700 --> 00:40:05,658 What do you mean? 740 00:40:05,660 --> 00:40:06,740 I'm certain he's bluffing. 741 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,040 Well, I hope you're right.

See you then. 743 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,000 Until later, General. 744 00:40:47,839 --> 00:40:48,839 Mr. Charter. 745 00:40:49,140 --> 00:40:50,880 So you finally managed to get here. 746 00:40:51,700 --> 00:40:53,280 I trust you had a pleasant journey. 747 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,780 In the light of what you just told me, I'm willing to overlook the fact that 748 00:41:01,780 --> 00:41:03,520 failed to report in for eight hours. 749 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,940 To the match, sir. Thank you very much. 750 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,100 I have to let Mrs. Gale do the donkey work in case either of us were being 751 00:41:12,100 --> 00:41:13,100 followed. 752 00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:16,260 It's because you may be right. 753 00:41:16,810 --> 00:41:18,870 But our matches, oh boy, that's the way I got them. 754 00:41:19,230 --> 00:41:20,250 Thank you very much. 755 00:41:20,930 --> 00:41:22,870 Still, it might be very difficult to convince her. 756 00:41:23,310 --> 00:41:25,450 Well, come into the fridge. There's still one or two things to be done. 757 00:41:30,950 --> 00:41:31,950 Mrs. Gale? 758 00:41:32,310 --> 00:41:33,310 Mrs. Brisket? 759 00:41:38,290 --> 00:41:39,850 I think you're wanted, Mrs. Gale. 760 00:41:40,350 --> 00:41:41,350 Oh, really? 761 00:41:43,670 --> 00:41:46,170 Ah, Mrs. Gale, you made contact with the enemy. 762 00:41:46,650 --> 00:41:48,070 I'm satisfied he means business. 763 00:41:48,590 --> 00:41:50,190 And you're also satisfied he's not sick? 764 00:41:50,790 --> 00:41:52,490 He thinks he's trying to rid us of a traitor. 765 00:41:53,030 --> 00:41:55,690 I wish I could have persuaded him to give himself up. 766 00:41:56,190 --> 00:41:58,750 Circumstances are an understandably difficult task, eh, Steve? 767 00:42:00,410 --> 00:42:02,490 What circumstances are you referring to? 768 00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:06,770 Steve, where have you been for the last 12 hours? 769 00:42:07,590 --> 00:42:10,710 You went to Helen Rayner's, didn't you? Where else have you been without telling 770 00:42:10,710 --> 00:42:13,290 us? I think we'd better be going. The reception's in less than a couple of 771 00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:14,730 hours. I'll explain on the way home. 772 00:42:15,070 --> 00:42:16,430 But it had better be good. Please. 773 00:42:17,690 --> 00:42:18,690 No, no, no. 774 00:42:29,790 --> 00:42:31,610 Here. Good. Bring him in. 775 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,940 Sir, welcome to the party. 776 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,340 I understand you wish to kill General Sharp. 777 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:03,280 You don't look the sort of man who would kill just for the fun of it. I'll kill 778 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:04,620 Sharp. For fun? 779 00:43:04,820 --> 00:43:06,660 No. As part of your job? 780 00:43:06,940 --> 00:43:08,380 No. Then why? 781 00:43:08,620 --> 00:43:09,620 Revenge. 782 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,880 Revenge for Rayner's murder. Five years in prison and Sharp turning traitor to 783 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:14,598 his country. 784 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,140 It's admirable sentiments, I'm sure. 785 00:43:16,750 --> 00:43:18,850 But when it comes to the point, do you think you'll be able to do it? 786 00:43:19,590 --> 00:43:23,210 You're not on a secret service mission now, you know. You're in London on your 787 00:43:23,210 --> 00:43:24,870 home ground, surrounded by the enemy. 788 00:43:25,490 --> 00:43:28,250 I don't see how you can possibly get away with it. 789 00:43:28,790 --> 00:43:29,790 Of course. 790 00:43:30,270 --> 00:43:31,270 You're right. 791 00:43:32,030 --> 00:43:34,870 Mr. Charter, we'd like to help you. 792 00:43:35,190 --> 00:43:39,370 I don't understand. We want you to kill General Sharpe. You want Sharpe dead? 793 00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450 Yes. 794 00:43:43,150 --> 00:43:44,150 Is this a joke? 795 00:43:44,210 --> 00:43:48,280 No. When Sharp first came to our country, we welcomed him. His knowledge 796 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,080 useful. He was anxious to help us. At the time, we thought him indispensable. 797 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,320 But now, now he's an embarrassment. 798 00:43:54,860 --> 00:43:59,200 An Englishman, as Minister of the Interior, like a millstone round our 799 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:04,000 short, the once indispensable Mr. Sharp is now dispensable. I see. I appreciate 800 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,960 we're deliberately trying to embarrass your government and thereby break off 801 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,020 diplomatic relations. Aren't you afraid I might inform the foreign office of all 802 00:44:10,020 --> 00:44:11,020 this? 803 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,560 It's your word against mine. 804 00:44:15,100 --> 00:44:16,180 What do you want me to do? 805 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,840 Fire two shots at the general with a gun loaded with blanks. Blanks? That's 806 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,720 right, Mr. Charter. That's all you have to do. 807 00:44:23,220 --> 00:44:26,940 You see, we're not looking for a murderer, just for a scapegoat. I'll be 808 00:44:27,380 --> 00:44:32,640 Yes, but this embassy stands on what is technically Aberranian soil, so we have 809 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,620 the right to take you back to our own country to stand trial. Oh, no, thank 810 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,980 I've seen your legal system in action. Ah, but this time the verdict will be in 811 00:44:38,980 --> 00:44:40,120 your favor. Oh, very nice. 812 00:44:40,380 --> 00:44:42,720 What do I do after the trial? I can't return to this country. 813 00:44:43,260 --> 00:44:44,260 No. 814 00:44:45,290 --> 00:44:48,990 How much back pay did you get for your years in prison? 815 00:44:49,250 --> 00:44:50,250 £15 ,000. 816 00:44:50,850 --> 00:44:56,450 Mr. Charter, we'll offer you a house, a car, and £50 ,000. 817 00:45:04,230 --> 00:45:06,810 Who is actually going to kill Sharp? 818 00:45:07,170 --> 00:45:09,510 I am. When? At the reception tonight. 819 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:15,320 I'll do it. 820 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,460 Assume Charlie can get in for the embassy. 821 00:45:19,860 --> 00:45:23,100 The reception's the most likely time for the balloon to go up. Lots of people of 822 00:45:23,100 --> 00:45:24,520 authentic colour, not to mention publicity. 823 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:25,960 How will he get in? 824 00:45:26,060 --> 00:45:27,320 He's done a job like this before. 825 00:45:27,580 --> 00:45:30,260 Where? A little town in France called Meaux. 826 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:35,660 Meaux? With an axe. He bumped off a Gestapo chief inside Gestapo 827 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,060 What happened to that car? 828 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:39,138 What car? 829 00:45:39,140 --> 00:45:40,038 The embassy car. 830 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,180 Oh, he abandoned it in the Bayswater Road. 831 00:45:42,750 --> 00:45:43,910 The police returned it to the embassy. 832 00:45:44,210 --> 00:45:47,130 That's exactly what he did in France. He hasn't abandoned it at all. He's simply 833 00:45:47,130 --> 00:45:50,490 hidden in the boot and waited to be driven back to the embassy garage. 834 00:45:52,310 --> 00:45:56,750 Steed? Yes? You were right, Steed. The butcher tells me the charter is 835 00:45:56,750 --> 00:46:00,850 definitely there, so you won't be late for the reception, will you? We're just 836 00:46:00,850 --> 00:46:01,850 leaving. 837 00:46:02,050 --> 00:46:04,170 All right, Cinders, you shall go to the ball. 838 00:46:04,930 --> 00:46:07,690 Hey, where do you keep it in there? 839 00:46:07,950 --> 00:46:08,950 Oh, in here. 840 00:46:11,390 --> 00:46:12,390 Here we go. 841 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,720 I'd like to thank the British government for their hospitality and the British 842 00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:21,240 public for their warm welcome. 843 00:46:22,020 --> 00:46:25,620 I hope that the negotiations I'm to have with your Prime Minister will be 844 00:46:25,620 --> 00:46:29,540 successful and will further the aims of worldwide peace. 845 00:46:33,340 --> 00:46:35,700 Your presence here, ladies and gentlemen, is encouraging. 846 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,580 I had anticipated that my welcome would not be so warm. 847 00:46:40,340 --> 00:46:44,120 There are, I know, many people in this country who feel that my visit should 848 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:45,460 never have been allowed to come about. 849 00:46:46,060 --> 00:46:51,000 For these, I can only say that I have come here in the sincere hope that 850 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,020 may be bygones. 851 00:46:52,340 --> 00:46:57,300 No one is more anxious than myself to see a peaceful settlement between our 852 00:46:57,300 --> 00:47:03,000 countries. We have had our differences in the past, but now we would like to 853 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,960 bury the hatchet and let bygones be bygones. 854 00:47:06,940 --> 00:47:11,320 I consider it a great honor to have been chosen by President Arafat as his 855 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,120 representative at the forthcoming arms negotiations. 856 00:47:13,720 --> 00:47:15,320 He feels as I do. 857 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:20,020 So the quickest and most obvious solution to the threat of open invasion 858 00:47:20,020 --> 00:47:23,760 political infiltration by our neighbor states is to arm ourselves not with 859 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,920 weapons, but with prestige. 860 00:47:26,740 --> 00:47:29,000 The prestige of an alliance with your government. 861 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,000 Shoot, man. Why don't you shoot? 862 00:47:31,980 --> 00:47:34,920 Sorry to disappoint you. I'm afraid nothing was further from my mind. 863 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:36,180 Act of pending aggression. 864 00:47:36,900 --> 00:47:41,360 But by proposing an agreement with your government... There's really not much 865 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:42,500 point in that now, is there? 866 00:47:45,770 --> 00:47:48,290 to call upon your forces for assistance should it be necessary. 867 00:47:48,850 --> 00:47:53,810 He feels that it will be possible to maintain peace... Not one of your most 868 00:47:53,810 --> 00:47:55,650 successful operations, Ambassador. 869 00:47:56,610 --> 00:47:58,890 That is why I'm here. 870 00:47:59,390 --> 00:48:04,350 And I know that the arms negotiations will be successful. 871 00:48:14,540 --> 00:48:15,700 No, my freighter's away for the weekend. 872 00:48:16,660 --> 00:48:17,660 You mean good. 873 00:48:19,700 --> 00:48:20,700 Oh, it's you. 874 00:48:21,260 --> 00:48:22,340 Yes, I remember. 875 00:48:22,780 --> 00:48:24,460 S -O -double -one -one -two -seven. 876 00:48:26,460 --> 00:48:28,760 Well, I don't think Mr. Quilphy would approve. 877 00:48:30,780 --> 00:48:31,780 You have? 878 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:33,760 Tomorrow? 879 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,220 I'd love to. 880 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:39,760 The main entrance at seven o 'clock. 881 00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,240 Goodbye, Mr. Charter. 882 00:48:47,890 --> 00:48:49,710 Bye. Any luck with this biscuit? 883 00:48:50,110 --> 00:48:52,970 Yes. It was those two tickets to Covent Garden that did it. I don't know where 884 00:48:52,970 --> 00:48:54,630 I'm going to get them from. Not to worry. 885 00:48:55,010 --> 00:48:58,130 Established a beachhead. From then on, it's plain sailing. 886 00:48:58,610 --> 00:49:00,730 There's more than can be said for the shark case. 887 00:49:01,190 --> 00:49:03,570 Incidentally, what's going to happen to him when he gets back to Aberyne? 888 00:49:03,990 --> 00:49:07,770 Return to a pretty sticky reception at a rock, yes? Personally, I don't care. 889 00:49:07,950 --> 00:49:09,130 He's no longer my problem. 890 00:49:09,970 --> 00:49:11,430 Oh. Ah. 891 00:49:12,549 --> 00:49:16,170 Might this be the moment to inquire who dreamed up this elaborate scheme? We 892 00:49:16,170 --> 00:49:18,970 engineered it between us. It was really a question of playing it by ear. 893 00:49:19,350 --> 00:49:20,690 With me as the decoy duck? 894 00:49:21,050 --> 00:49:22,050 Precisely. 895 00:49:22,650 --> 00:49:25,350 Wouldn't it have been a good idea to let me into the secret area? I mean, 896 00:49:25,350 --> 00:49:26,850 wouldn't it have made life a lot easier? 897 00:49:27,070 --> 00:49:30,470 Not really. You see, we figured that General Sharp had fallen into disfavor 898 00:49:30,470 --> 00:49:33,530 the Aberranians. They let me out in the hope that I'd kill him for them, thereby 899 00:49:33,530 --> 00:49:36,190 embarrassing the British government and giving the Aberranians a golden 900 00:49:36,190 --> 00:49:38,130 opportunity for withdrawing from the arms deal. 901 00:49:38,450 --> 00:49:40,690 I still think you would have let me know what you were up to. 902 00:49:41,070 --> 00:49:44,250 In case the embassy thought we were playing a double game. Which you were. 903 00:49:44,830 --> 00:49:47,790 Someone had to behave quite normally and appear to be following charter. 904 00:49:49,310 --> 00:49:50,310 Excuse me. 905 00:49:50,390 --> 00:49:53,650 When I did find you, I got the stickiest reception in the world. 906 00:49:53,910 --> 00:49:55,170 I'm very sorry about that. 907 00:49:55,470 --> 00:49:58,130 Mr. Quilpy is a surprise. Come in. Good evening, sir. 908 00:49:58,530 --> 00:49:59,550 Good evening, 909 00:50:00,310 --> 00:50:05,550 sir. Just want to thank you all.

Of course, sir. 912 00:50:09,290 --> 00:50:12,210 By the way, Alice asked me to give you these. 913 00:50:12,690 --> 00:50:13,690 Huh? 914 00:50:15,310 --> 00:50:18,090 Oh, two dozen pin bones. 915 00:50:18,990 --> 00:50:20,690 You said they were for the dog. 916 00:50:21,550 --> 00:50:23,870 I don't need to sharpen my teeth.
