1
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:23,900
<i>So, this is war in the 20th century.</i>

2
00:01:25,060 --> 00:01:28,820
<i>Mechanised terror. Faceless killing machines.</i>

3
00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:32,300
<i>The infernal nightmare</i>
<i>that is the Spanish Civil War.</i>

4
00:01:33,860 --> 00:01:40,060
<i>Or should that be the mind-bending tedium,</i>
<i>the crushing boredom, the terminal fatigue.</i>

5
00:01:40,540 --> 00:01:42,940
<i>I should be writing another novel.</i>

6
00:01:43,020 --> 00:01:46,940
<i>Will I find my inspiration here, in Barcelona?</i>
<i>I doubt it.</i>

7
00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:53,860
<i>All I think about is Freya, Freya, Freya.</i>

8
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:06,940
- Logan?
- Hemingway!

9
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:10,900
- What are you doing here?
- Trying to get to the Aragon front.

10
00:02:10,980 --> 00:02:13,180
- It's taking forever.
- Oh, right.

11
00:02:13,740 --> 00:02:17,180
Well, leave it to me. But don't tell these guys.

12
00:02:17,260 --> 00:02:20,700
Come on, you have to know
the right people in this war, Logan.

13
00:02:32,140 --> 00:02:33,740
You are friend for <i>Señor</i> Hemingway.

14
00:02:34,220 --> 00:02:36,660
Yes. Yes, we're old friends.

15
00:02:36,740 --> 00:02:38,700
Both novelists. Met in Paris.

16
00:02:39,620 --> 00:02:41,900
You're working for an American news agency.

17
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:45,100
Yes. I only file for American newspapers.
Only American.

18
00:02:45,580 --> 00:02:48,180
Ah, yes. They pay well, no?

19
00:02:48,260 --> 00:02:49,780
They do, actually.

20
00:02:58,740 --> 00:03:00,180
- I can go to the front now?
- Of course.

21
00:03:00,460 --> 00:03:03,100
But only with your liaison officer. Me.

22
00:03:05,180 --> 00:03:08,260
I am Faustino. Look forward
to working with you, <i>Señor</i> Logan.

23
00:03:08,340 --> 00:03:09,820
Me, too.

24
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:11,500
I give you this.

25
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:15,060
I don't want it.

26
00:03:15,140 --> 00:03:17,900
Is essential. In Spain everyone has a gun.

27
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:49,100
So you are an Anarchist,
not a Communist.

28
00:03:49,180 --> 00:03:53,580
I suppose. Communists
are better for governing. More practical.

29
00:03:53,660 --> 00:03:56,340
We, Anarchists, we believe in simple things.

30
00:03:56,420 --> 00:03:59,300
- Two loves, two hatreds.
- And what are they?

31
00:03:59,820 --> 00:04:05,740
Love of life. Love of humanity.
Hatred of injustice. Hatred of privilege.

32
00:04:05,820 --> 00:04:06,900
What about you, Logan?

33
00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:09,660
At the moment, I think I only believe in love.

34
00:04:09,820 --> 00:04:12,460
In fact, I believe in the love
of one particular woman.

35
00:04:12,540 --> 00:04:15,220
You are right.
Love of a woman is essential.

36
00:04:16,180 --> 00:04:19,300
You see, we are two romantics, Logan,
deep down.

37
00:04:24,260 --> 00:04:25,380
And what's your name?

38
00:04:25,460 --> 00:04:28,220
Terence. Lieutenant James Terence.

39
00:04:29,020 --> 00:04:30,740
So, where are you from in England?

40
00:04:30,820 --> 00:04:34,180
Rotherhithe. Ever been there? It's in London.

41
00:04:34,660 --> 00:04:39,420
We've got quite a few English lads.
Even a couple of posh blokes, like you.

42
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:44,220
Trouble is, we're POUM here. Trotskyites.

43
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:47,100
Now, two miles down the line there
you've got fucking Communists.

44
00:04:47,180 --> 00:04:49,060
Same army, different army.

45
00:04:50,020 --> 00:04:51,420
I don't understand.

46
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:54,740
This is Spain. How long you been out here?

47
00:04:54,820 --> 00:04:58,980
Look, the Russians won't supply us.
They only supply Communists.

48
00:04:59,060 --> 00:05:00,460
Trotsky bad man, eh?

49
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:04,260
And because we're anti-Stalin,
we don't get no new guns.

50
00:05:04,340 --> 00:05:07,500
I'm sure General Franco is very grateful!

51
00:05:07,580 --> 00:05:09,380
Here, put that in your fucking newspaper.

52
00:05:09,460 --> 00:05:11,500
Shit! Get out of here! Go, move out!

53
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:13,700
Into the bunker, now! Into the bunker!

54
00:05:14,340 --> 00:05:17,380
Get out of there! Into the fucking bunker! Go!

55
00:05:18,580 --> 00:05:20,980
Oh, shit! That was close.

56
00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:24,140
- How long will you be in Madrid?
- I don't know. I don't know.

57
00:05:24,220 --> 00:05:27,580
I've just got to go there and file
a couple of reports, then I must go home.

58
00:05:27,660 --> 00:05:29,380
- My girlfriend's pregnant.
- Incoming!

59
00:05:33,380 --> 00:05:37,100
If, when you are in Madrid,
you could visit this person.

60
00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:41,340
He has something for me.
If you could collect it for me, Logan.

61
00:05:42,380 --> 00:05:44,980
- What is it?
- I used to be art teacher before this.

62
00:05:45,060 --> 00:05:46,980
It's some property of mine,
and I need someone I can trust.

63
00:05:47,060 --> 00:05:49,940
Well, I'll do my best. I'll do my best.
What then?

64
00:05:50,020 --> 00:05:52,100
Call me at the ministry.
I'll find a way to come to you.

65
00:06:24,660 --> 00:06:26,900
<i>It can seem a little surreal.</i>

66
00:06:26,980 --> 00:06:30,820
<i>Wait till tomorrow. We'll catch a bus</i>
<i>and go to the Madrid front line.</i>

67
00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:33,300
<i>It's in the university quarter.</i>

68
00:06:33,380 --> 00:06:36,900
<i>The Republicans are in the buildings</i>
<i>and the Fascists are dug in, in the park.</i>

69
00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:40,780
<i>Martha will take you.</i>
<i>I'm shooting this film with Ivens all day.</i>

70
00:06:40,860 --> 00:06:43,340
Do you know Ivens? Joris Ivens?

71
00:06:43,420 --> 00:06:45,700
No. What is it, a documentary?

72
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:48,620
Excuse me. My next article just walked in.

73
00:06:51,060 --> 00:06:54,100
Nobody knows about Martha, Logan. Got it?

74
00:06:55,380 --> 00:06:57,580
Especially not Mrs Hemingway.

75
00:06:59,060 --> 00:07:00,860
Martha's a great girl,

76
00:07:00,940 --> 00:07:02,980
but it's not easy on the home front,
know what I mean?

77
00:07:03,780 --> 00:07:07,500
I do know what you mean, actually.
I'm in a similar situation myself.

78
00:07:07,580 --> 00:07:09,700
Heart has its reasons, huh?

79
00:07:10,940 --> 00:07:12,500
Tell me about it.

80
00:07:12,580 --> 00:07:14,860
Let's have another drink first.
<i>Por favor?</i>

81
00:07:15,460 --> 00:07:17,900
Wow. This is a fucking mess.
This your first child?

82
00:07:17,980 --> 00:07:18,980
No.

83
00:07:21,180 --> 00:07:23,420
God, I've gotta tell my wife and boy.

84
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:26,740
Now, that is a can of worms.
See, I have three kids.

85
00:07:26,820 --> 00:07:28,820
But if Martha was pregnant...

86
00:07:29,460 --> 00:07:31,380
Drink up. We need fuel.

87
00:07:32,940 --> 00:07:34,060
How does it happen, Hem?

88
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:38,220
It's called "life", I believe.

89
00:07:38,420 --> 00:07:40,860
You got to go your own way, Logan.

90
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:46,700
It's like me. You choose to live the life,
you take the consequences.

91
00:07:46,780 --> 00:07:48,620
We all know that.

92
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:57,860
We'll fucking miss you.
I thought we could have some fun here.

93
00:07:57,940 --> 00:08:01,420
I'm just not functioning.
I can only think of Freya, and the baby.

94
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:05,260
I need to catch a plane out of here.
Tomorrow. Tonight.

95
00:08:05,820 --> 00:08:07,860
- Dusenberry Press is gonna pay for this lot.
- No!

96
00:08:07,940 --> 00:08:09,020
Yes.

97
00:08:11,460 --> 00:08:13,380
Oh, there is one thing.

98
00:08:14,780 --> 00:08:16,620
This... Where is this?

99
00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:41,580
<i>Habla inglés?</i>

100
00:08:49,020 --> 00:08:50,620
<i>Eres</i> Logan Mountstuart?

101
00:08:58,380 --> 00:08:59,500
<i>Quién es?</i>

102
00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:00,700
<i>Yo soy amigo, comprende?</i>

103
00:09:00,780 --> 00:09:02,380
<i>Es mi amigo. Amigo.</i>

104
00:09:03,780 --> 00:09:06,020
Faustino...

105
00:09:24,020 --> 00:09:26,140
Better be a magic carpet.

106
00:09:34,420 --> 00:09:38,980
<i>Hola? Puedo hablar a Faustino Angel?</i>
<i>Por favor.</i>

107
00:09:42,380 --> 00:09:45,500
<i>Faustino Angel, por favor.</i>

108
00:09:50,940 --> 00:09:53,340
- What?
<i>- Angel is executed.</i>

109
00:09:53,660 --> 00:09:56,380
<i>Three days ago. He spy for Fascists.</i>
<i>He's dead.</i>

110
00:10:02,580 --> 00:10:04,100
Faustino is dead?

111
00:10:05,140 --> 00:10:06,300
Jesus.

112
00:10:08,820 --> 00:10:11,980
<i>This war is as close to death</i>
<i>as I have ever come in my life</i>

113
00:10:12,060 --> 00:10:15,380
<i>and it terrifies me.</i>
<i>What are you doing here, Logan?</i>

114
00:11:11,740 --> 00:11:13,020
I'm back.

115
00:11:16,380 --> 00:11:17,820
Do you mean it?

116
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:23,020
I've never been so sure of anything in my life.

117
00:11:45,580 --> 00:11:48,740
Joan Miró. Catalan painter. Surrealist.

118
00:11:49,260 --> 00:11:51,980
Mmm. Miró.
Yes, I knew that immediately.

119
00:11:52,060 --> 00:11:53,260
Liar!

120
00:11:53,340 --> 00:11:54,660
Question is, what're we going to do
with them?

121
00:11:54,740 --> 00:11:57,220
Hang on, we're missing it.

122
00:11:57,300 --> 00:12:03,340
<i>...that I have found it impossible</i>
<i>to carry the heavy burden of responsibility</i>

123
00:12:04,940 --> 00:12:08,140
<i>and to discharge my duties as king</i>

124
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:11,860
<i>as I would wish to do</i>

125
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:15,300
<i>without the help and support...</i>

126
00:12:15,940 --> 00:12:18,020
- Shall we go to the pub?
<i>- ...of the woman I love.</i>

127
00:12:18,860 --> 00:12:23,380
<i>It's time. No going back.</i>
<i>Lottie is an essentially sweet, kind person.</i>

128
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:25,460
<i>We can be civilised about this. Grown up.</i>

129
00:12:25,940 --> 00:12:27,820
You filthy, stinking bastard!

130
00:12:30,980 --> 00:12:36,340
Furthermore, Mr Mountstuart,
it is my official duty to inform you

131
00:12:37,460 --> 00:12:40,780
that you shall receive
no income at all from the estate.

132
00:12:40,860 --> 00:12:42,540
But what about Lionel?

133
00:12:44,140 --> 00:12:48,180
The Earl will pay for Lionel's education
and upbringing.

134
00:12:48,260 --> 00:12:53,060
Consequently, you will be allowed to see
Lionel once a month at a neutral venue.

135
00:12:53,140 --> 00:12:55,420
No. Out of the question.

136
00:12:55,780 --> 00:12:59,100
We're more than happy
to argue the matter in court.

137
00:13:07,220 --> 00:13:08,420
I was wondering about my things.

138
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:12,500
I've thrown everything out.
Your books are in the stable block.

139
00:13:12,580 --> 00:13:13,820
Bastard!

140
00:13:16,980 --> 00:13:20,180
You may remove your possessions
from the stable block

141
00:13:20,260 --> 00:13:22,660
at a time of Lady Laeticia's choosing.

142
00:13:22,740 --> 00:13:25,780
- Remember, I want the evidence.
- What evidence?

143
00:13:26,140 --> 00:13:30,020
- I refuse to...
- There is no alternative, Mr Mountstuart.

144
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:37,020
<i>So, it's to be public humiliation.</i>

145
00:13:37,740 --> 00:13:39,660
<i>Their pound of flesh.</i>

146
00:13:45,220 --> 00:13:46,700
How long do you think we've got?

147
00:13:46,780 --> 00:13:48,380
Don't know. Should be soon.

148
00:13:51,420 --> 00:13:54,060
Do you think we've got time
for a five-minute quickie?

149
00:13:54,780 --> 00:13:56,140
That's the best idea I've heard all day.

150
00:13:56,220 --> 00:13:58,100
- What about a two-minute quickie?
- Mmm.

151
00:14:01,980 --> 00:14:03,180
Damn.

152
00:14:04,420 --> 00:14:05,660
Come in.

153
00:14:10,180 --> 00:14:11,660
Good afternoon.

154
00:14:12,420 --> 00:14:15,180
- Can you identify these people, miss?
- Yes.

155
00:14:15,260 --> 00:14:17,820
- They registered this afternoon at 1:38 p.m.
- Hello! Yoo-hoo!

156
00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:20,020
They registered under the names
of Mr and Mrs John Smith.

157
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:23,020
- Very original, don't you think, darling?
- I could tell you were a novelist.

158
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:24,260
Please, try not to move.

159
00:14:24,820 --> 00:14:26,340
Oh, hold on a sec.

160
00:14:42,300 --> 00:14:44,380
Melville Road.

161
00:14:44,620 --> 00:14:47,460
The mature parkland at the rear
extends a full 35 feet.

162
00:14:48,060 --> 00:14:51,420
From the attic bedrooms,
there is an exceptional panorama

163
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:52,660
of Battersea Power Station.

164
00:14:52,740 --> 00:14:53,980
Perfection.

165
00:14:54,060 --> 00:14:56,900
- It's not what you're used to.
- But it's what I long for.

166
00:14:56,980 --> 00:14:58,460
There's no grouse shooting.

167
00:14:58,540 --> 00:15:00,780
I have nothing against grouse.

168
00:15:01,180 --> 00:15:02,940
Hello, suburbia.

169
00:15:04,740 --> 00:15:08,060
<i>It's shepherd's pie for supper.</i>
<i>Food of the gods.</i>

170
00:15:08,140 --> 00:15:10,020
{\an8}<i>Tomorrow, I must paint the nursery.</i>

171
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:16,380
{\an8}<i>Michelangelo attacks the Sistine Chapel.</i>
<i>Absurd, head-reeling sensations of bliss.</i>

172
00:15:17,060 --> 00:15:21,020
<i>Intoxicating, chest-filling emotion</i>
<i>that must be pure happiness.</i>

173
00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:24,660
<i>Thank God Freya's still working.</i>
<i>My novel's going nowhere.</i>

174
00:15:27,620 --> 00:15:30,140
How're you feeling, Mrs Mountstuart?

175
00:15:30,980 --> 00:15:32,420
Pregnant.

176
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:35,420
Fat.

177
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:37,900
And happy.

178
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:48,700
Can you lend me a pound for tomorrow?

179
00:15:51,780 --> 00:15:54,820
I can manage 10 bob,
but you'll have to pay me back.

180
00:16:08,620 --> 00:16:13,260
<i>We never stay the same person.</i>
<i>We change as we grow old.</i>

181
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:17,980
<i>The things that happen to us</i>
<i>make us different people.</i>

182
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:21,460
<i>It's part of the story of our life.</i>

183
00:16:40,380 --> 00:16:42,580
Come on, silly. She won't bite.

184
00:16:57,100 --> 00:16:59,740
I didn't know it was possible
I could feel this happy.

185
00:17:40,940 --> 00:17:42,740
Mountstuart residence.

186
00:17:43,100 --> 00:17:44,140
Tess!

187
00:17:48,020 --> 00:17:51,500
I know he's had other women,
almost from the start.

188
00:17:51,580 --> 00:17:54,420
Tess, the thing you've got to remember
about Peter

189
00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:56,780
is that he is just the most appalling flirt.

190
00:17:56,860 --> 00:18:00,140
And prostitutes. And that actress
he went with for a while.

191
00:18:00,220 --> 00:18:01,420
Tess.

192
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:02,940
I don't care.

193
00:18:05,740 --> 00:18:07,220
I didn't care.

194
00:18:07,860 --> 00:18:10,180
But now he's got this woman
in a house in Clapham.

195
00:18:11,980 --> 00:18:13,700
They go out together,

196
00:18:14,660 --> 00:18:16,420
to parties in London.

197
00:18:17,860 --> 00:18:20,860
- Do you know her?
- No. No, I don't. Honest.

198
00:18:20,980 --> 00:18:23,220
He's going to leave me, I know it.

199
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:26,540
Talk to Peter, Logan.
Tell him I forgive him everything.

200
00:18:26,620 --> 00:18:29,260
Tell him I want him back,
for the children's sake.

201
00:18:29,340 --> 00:18:32,220
- Look, I'm not sure whether I'm the right...
- He respects you.

202
00:18:34,660 --> 00:18:36,100
I think he kind of idolises you.

203
00:18:37,020 --> 00:18:38,340
Peter? No.

204
00:18:39,740 --> 00:18:41,900
No, I think you're reading that wrongly.

205
00:18:53,220 --> 00:18:54,740
Do what you can.

206
00:19:02,660 --> 00:19:04,860
- Thank you.
- She's pretty desperate, Peter.

207
00:19:05,380 --> 00:19:07,100
Why you, of all people?

208
00:19:07,460 --> 00:19:09,580
Because... Well, who knows?

209
00:19:09,660 --> 00:19:12,500
Anyway, there it is.
She wants you back, at any cost.

210
00:19:12,580 --> 00:19:14,980
She's well provided for. So are the children.

211
00:19:15,060 --> 00:19:17,940
I want you to meet Arabella, fabulous woman.

212
00:19:18,020 --> 00:19:19,380
Wonderful.

213
00:19:20,260 --> 00:19:23,540
- What's this, your second?
- My third, actually.

214
00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:26,060
Going very well. Proverbial hot cakes.

215
00:19:26,140 --> 00:19:29,340
- You should write a teccie, Logan.
- Yes, I should.

216
00:19:29,420 --> 00:19:32,020
Why don't you call it <i>Four Days in Marrakesh?</i>
Maybe <i>A Month in Marrakesh.</i>

217
00:19:32,100 --> 00:19:33,140
That would have to be a long one, though.

218
00:19:33,220 --> 00:19:36,620
Ha-ha. Always most amusing.
Look, I'm laughing.

219
00:19:37,740 --> 00:19:38,980
Sorry.

220
00:19:39,780 --> 00:19:41,740
What should I tell Tess?

221
00:19:41,820 --> 00:19:44,420
It's very simple. Tell her it's over.

222
00:19:46,260 --> 00:19:47,740
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

223
00:20:27,540 --> 00:20:29,260
It's coming, Logan.

224
00:20:29,820 --> 00:20:31,140
Impossible.

225
00:20:31,260 --> 00:20:32,340
No.

226
00:20:33,180 --> 00:20:37,220
There will be war with Germany.
It is inevitable.

227
00:20:38,100 --> 00:20:40,740
So you say.
But what does it have to do with me?

228
00:20:42,140 --> 00:20:44,900
A lot of people, influential people,

229
00:20:44,980 --> 00:20:48,140
were very impressed
with your Spanish Civil War pieces.

230
00:20:48,860 --> 00:20:51,340
- So you want me to write journalism?
- No.

231
00:20:53,180 --> 00:20:57,380
I want you to hold yourself in readiness.
We have a post for you in Naval Intelligence.

232
00:20:59,780 --> 00:21:02,420
You know, Ian, I don't really think
I'm cut out for that kind of work.

233
00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:05,500
Beg pardon, Mr Fleming.
Telegram for you, sir.

234
00:21:46,740 --> 00:21:49,380
I can't do it, Logan. I can't.

235
00:21:52,540 --> 00:21:55,020
Can't you at least do this for her?

236
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:20,700
This is Tess Scabius.

237
00:23:03,420 --> 00:23:05,700
- Could a bomb kill a tiger, Daddy?
- Yes.

238
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:09,540
- Could a bomb kill an elephant?
- Yes.

239
00:23:09,620 --> 00:23:11,060
Could a bomb kill a whale?

240
00:23:11,140 --> 00:23:15,340
<i>What can I do about Lionel?</i>
<i>I hardly know him.</i>

241
00:23:15,420 --> 00:23:18,460
<i>Yet he's my son. Therefore, I must love him.</i>

242
00:23:18,540 --> 00:23:20,860
What's the biggest bomb
you've ever seen, Daddy?

243
00:23:20,940 --> 00:23:24,740
<i>But be honest, Logan,</i>
<i>is flesh and blood enough?</i>

244
00:23:24,820 --> 00:23:26,460
<i>Will he always be a stranger to me?</i>

245
00:23:26,540 --> 00:23:30,220
<i>The distribution</i>
<i>of gas masks began tonight in all areas.</i>

246
00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:34,940
<i>The Home Office, in announcing this,</i>
<i>urge everyone to take great care of the masks,</i>

247
00:23:35,020 --> 00:23:39,300
<i>as their efficiency depends</i>
<i>on the condition in which they are kept.</i>

248
00:23:39,380 --> 00:23:42,460
<i>When not in use,</i>
<i>they should be carried in boxes,</i>

249
00:23:42,540 --> 00:23:45,980
<i>and care should be taken</i>
<i>not to crumple the eyepieces.</i>

250
00:23:46,780 --> 00:23:50,380
<i>There is a further warning against</i>
<i>allowing children to play with the masks,</i>

251
00:23:50,460 --> 00:23:54,500
<i>as damaged masks become leaky</i>
<i>and therefore dangerous.</i>

252
00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:59,100
<i>The Home Office adds that the gas masks</i>
<i>will be distributed by local authorities.</i>

253
00:24:20,340 --> 00:24:24,220
<i>The world is at war.</i>
<i>Nothing has happened. Nothing bad, anyway.</i>

254
00:24:24,540 --> 00:24:27,100
<i>I have a secure nine-to-five job</i>
<i>for the first time in my life.</i>

255
00:24:27,540 --> 00:24:31,740
<i>As he promised, Fleming got me a job</i>
<i>in Naval Intelligence, writing propaganda.</i>

256
00:24:31,820 --> 00:24:35,980
<i>I go to work on the tube.</i>
<i>I have an office, a secretary, a decent salary.</i>

257
00:24:36,060 --> 00:24:38,420
<i>Though it seems very strange</i>
<i>to be wearing a uniform.</i>

258
00:24:38,500 --> 00:24:40,100
<i>I'm meant to be writing a novel.</i>

259
00:24:40,180 --> 00:24:43,420
<i>"Lieutenant Mountstuart"</i>
<i>sounds all wrong, somehow.</i>

260
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:45,460
<i>I feel I'm betraying my vocation as a writer.</i>

261
00:24:45,540 --> 00:24:46,620
Sir?

262
00:24:48,940 --> 00:24:51,980
A-ha<i>. Muy bien. Excelente.</i>

263
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:54,300
- Shall I file it, sir?
- Yes.

264
00:24:54,380 --> 00:24:56,980
They picked up on it quickly.
Very gratifying when it works so well.

265
00:24:57,060 --> 00:24:58,860
Don't forget the 11:30 meeting, sir.

266
00:24:58,940 --> 00:25:00,740
He's always happier
when lunch is on the horizon.

267
00:25:00,820 --> 00:25:02,700
Oh, God, yes. Quite right.

268
00:25:11,340 --> 00:25:13,420
The Duke of Windsor is in Portugal.

269
00:25:14,140 --> 00:25:15,420
Near Lisbon.

270
00:25:16,260 --> 00:25:18,980
Fled his house in the South of France
when the Italians invaded.

271
00:25:19,060 --> 00:25:20,140
Nearly got him.

272
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:24,940
Thank God the silly arse didn't stay in Spain
for any length of time.

273
00:25:25,020 --> 00:25:27,300
Trouble is, he won't come home.

274
00:25:28,020 --> 00:25:29,780
He's refusing to budge.

275
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:32,820
Can't Winston persuade him?

276
00:25:32,900 --> 00:25:37,020
I'm afraid relations between
the Prime Minister and the Duke are,

277
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:39,900
let's say, frosty, since the abdication.

278
00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:44,020
Actually, let's say bloody freezing cold.

279
00:25:45,380 --> 00:25:48,020
I met the Duke once when he was
Prince of Wales. Seemed charming.

280
00:25:48,500 --> 00:25:49,820
I told you Logan was our man.

281
00:25:50,020 --> 00:25:51,340
"Our man"?

282
00:25:51,780 --> 00:25:52,780
For what?

283
00:25:55,740 --> 00:25:56,820
We're incredibly busy.

284
00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:58,700
The Duke is a very difficult man.

285
00:25:58,780 --> 00:25:59,940
Why?

286
00:26:00,020 --> 00:26:03,300
Well, he's a royal, so he's spoilt by nature.

287
00:26:03,380 --> 00:26:07,940
He used to be the King of England
and now he's living in a rented villa in Estoril.

288
00:26:08,020 --> 00:26:11,340
The longer he stays there,
the more attention he attracts.

289
00:26:11,420 --> 00:26:15,300
And, well, we're beginning to worry
that the Germans may try and kidnap him.

290
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:20,260
- He would be quite a catch.
- That's where you come in, Logan.

291
00:26:25,140 --> 00:26:27,820
These are astonishing.

292
00:26:28,660 --> 00:26:31,020
Do you know how rare it is to have five?

293
00:26:31,580 --> 00:26:34,460
Five paintings by Joan Miró from the 1920s.

294
00:26:35,820 --> 00:26:37,020
Incredible!

295
00:26:39,340 --> 00:26:40,620
You got nothing out of Paris?

296
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:43,260
No, just me and Sandrine.

297
00:26:43,340 --> 00:26:46,340
When our synagogue
had swastikas painted on it,

298
00:26:46,420 --> 00:26:48,740
- we felt we didn't want to hang around.
- Of course.

299
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:52,100
Well, I'd love you to sell them. If you want to.

300
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:55,340
Logan, these paintings, they're...

301
00:26:56,300 --> 00:26:57,580
They're going to put me in a position

302
00:26:57,660 --> 00:26:59,420
I never thought I'd reach
in my wildest dreams.

303
00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:00,500
Then I couldn't be happier.

304
00:27:00,580 --> 00:27:02,300
And I'll be in your debt for the rest of my life.

305
00:27:02,380 --> 00:27:03,980
Even better.

306
00:27:04,060 --> 00:27:05,940
But I'll take my time.

307
00:27:06,860 --> 00:27:09,420
Yes. I'll go to America with them.

308
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:12,180
Whatever you think. I have no idea. I don't...

309
00:27:17,980 --> 00:27:19,180
Steady on.

310
00:27:33,420 --> 00:27:34,780
Have you gone and robbed a bank?

311
00:27:38,380 --> 00:27:42,180
No. I sold the paintings to Ben.
It's in case anything happens to me.

312
00:27:42,260 --> 00:27:45,260
Oh, hang on.
You're going off on a flying boat to Portugal

313
00:27:45,340 --> 00:27:47,380
to see the Duke and Duchess of Windsor,
for heaven's sake.

314
00:27:47,460 --> 00:27:48,780
It's hardly the front line!

315
00:27:48,860 --> 00:27:52,340
I know, I know. Well, it is a mission, of sorts.

316
00:27:52,420 --> 00:27:54,780
Dark and dirty work
but somebody has got to do it.

317
00:27:54,860 --> 00:27:55,860
Give me that.

318
00:28:08,060 --> 00:28:11,740
I do. I do remember you.

319
00:28:12,820 --> 00:28:15,460
Mr Mountstuart. Of course.

320
00:28:15,820 --> 00:28:18,620
Biarritz, you let David play through.

321
00:28:19,420 --> 00:28:20,620
Come along.

322
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:21,900
David.

323
00:28:22,780 --> 00:28:24,380
It's, um...

324
00:28:24,460 --> 00:28:25,820
- David.
- Hello.

325
00:28:28,820 --> 00:28:31,220
- Who's this?
- Mr Mountstuart.

326
00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:34,940
We met him in Biarritz,
at the golf course. Remember?

327
00:28:35,020 --> 00:28:37,300
- Are you a golfer?
- Yes, I am, actually.

328
00:28:37,380 --> 00:28:39,780
Thank God. At last. A golfer.

329
00:28:40,540 --> 00:28:41,940
Well, we must play a round.

330
00:28:42,020 --> 00:28:43,740
- Well, I'd love to...
- Tomorrow.

331
00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:46,140
Have you met Ricardo's cousin?

332
00:28:46,220 --> 00:28:47,220
No.

333
00:28:49,980 --> 00:28:51,820
Damned humidity.

334
00:28:52,260 --> 00:28:54,780
- Have you a cigarette, Mountstuart?
- Yes, of course.

335
00:28:57,660 --> 00:28:59,460
Get back! Stay there!

336
00:29:02,580 --> 00:29:04,460
Always stand too bloody close.

337
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:13,580
Yes, it is very humid, isn't it, sir?

338
00:29:14,140 --> 00:29:16,220
Well, I'll have to get used to it.

339
00:29:16,300 --> 00:29:17,780
I don't follow.

340
00:29:18,300 --> 00:29:21,060
They've offered me a new job,
for the duration.

341
00:29:21,140 --> 00:29:23,180
I'm to be Governor of the Bahamas.

342
00:29:23,260 --> 00:29:24,860
Well, it's certainly very tropical.

343
00:29:24,940 --> 00:29:27,340
And one of our smallest colonies,
Mountstuart.

344
00:29:28,780 --> 00:29:31,980
The King and his interfering wife
want me completely out of the way.

345
00:29:33,260 --> 00:29:37,380
My brother is an affable fool,
but his wife's a nasty schemer.

346
00:29:37,460 --> 00:29:39,580
She can't stand Wallis.

347
00:29:41,340 --> 00:29:42,740
Very jealous.

348
00:29:48,460 --> 00:29:51,260
What they don't realise is,
I'm not moving one bloody inch

349
00:29:51,340 --> 00:29:53,380
until I get what I want.

350
00:29:56,420 --> 00:29:58,340
I'll let you have that, sir.

351
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:04,140
I'm not moving unless I have my valet,
Piper Fletcher.

352
00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:08,140
Churchill says he's a serving soldier,
can't be released for this kind of duty.

353
00:30:08,220 --> 00:30:09,220
Fucking nonsense.

354
00:30:11,980 --> 00:30:15,740
Bad luck, Mountstuart.
That's, uh, six pounds you owe me.

355
00:30:19,780 --> 00:30:22,740
- Do you have a valet, Mountstuart?
- No. No, I don't.

356
00:30:22,820 --> 00:30:25,820
You should get one.
People don't understand...

357
00:30:25,940 --> 00:30:28,740
Someone in my position
simply cannot function without a valet.

358
00:30:29,420 --> 00:30:32,500
So if you have Fletcher, sir,
that would change the situation?

359
00:30:33,340 --> 00:30:38,020
When a man has a valet, Mountstuart,
everything is suddenly possible.

360
00:30:39,780 --> 00:30:42,140
<i>I telegraphed London,</i>
<i>said it was very simple,</i>

361
00:30:42,220 --> 00:30:45,100
<i>the Duke had to have his valet. Problem over.</i>

362
00:30:45,540 --> 00:30:48,060
<i>Everything in the garden rosy again,</i>
<i>he has to get what he wants,</i>

363
00:30:48,140 --> 00:30:49,500
<i>it's that easy. That's the key.</i>

364
00:30:49,660 --> 00:30:52,140
<i>Basically, all one has to say to him is "Yes".</i>

365
00:30:52,300 --> 00:30:56,700
<i>Any variation of "Yes" is all that's required.</i>
<i>You can chat away for hours.</i>

366
00:30:56,780 --> 00:30:59,100
<i>London got the message,</i>
<i>and the Duke got his valet.</i>

367
00:30:59,180 --> 00:31:00,980
<i>Mission accomplished.</i>

368
00:31:23,900 --> 00:31:27,940
These tables are amazing, you know.
High explosive has absolutely no effect.

369
00:31:28,020 --> 00:31:30,860
- These tables will win us the war.
- What about the shelter?

370
00:31:31,980 --> 00:31:33,860
I prefer to be under a table.

371
00:31:33,940 --> 00:31:35,940
If a bomb's gonna drop on you,
a bomb's gonna drop on you.

372
00:31:36,020 --> 00:31:38,580
A bit of oak or a bit of corrugated iron
won't make much difference.

373
00:31:38,660 --> 00:31:39,660
Yes...

374
00:31:42,820 --> 00:31:45,140
It's all luck, isn't it, in the end?

375
00:31:46,220 --> 00:31:47,700
At least we're all here.

376
00:31:52,260 --> 00:31:53,980
Where are the sandwiches?

377
00:31:54,860 --> 00:31:56,740
Oh! Oh, no!

378
00:31:57,900 --> 00:32:00,380
Oh, Daddy!

379
00:32:01,220 --> 00:32:04,380
Daddy, they're squashed!

380
00:32:07,860 --> 00:32:10,980
<i>The war, the war, the war...</i>

381
00:32:11,580 --> 00:32:14,340
<i>I'm elated by Pearl Harbor. Exhilarated.</i>

382
00:32:15,140 --> 00:32:18,180
<i>The Americans are coming and now we'll win.</i>

383
00:32:18,340 --> 00:32:21,220
<i>I haven't written a word of my novel</i>
<i>for two years.</i>

384
00:32:21,300 --> 00:32:24,500
<i>Favourite place, Melville Road, Battersea.</i>

385
00:32:25,340 --> 00:32:28,020
<i>Vice, procrastination.</i>

386
00:32:28,620 --> 00:32:33,180
<i>Faith, love for Freya and Stella,</i>
<i>and Lionel, of course.</i>

387
00:32:34,180 --> 00:32:35,900
<i>New Year's resolution,</i>

388
00:32:35,980 --> 00:32:39,460
<i>to come through this war</i>
<i>and write something of value.</i>

389
00:32:39,540 --> 00:32:40,740
<i>I must.</i>

390
00:32:48,340 --> 00:32:49,620
Another teccie?

391
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:53,220
No. It's all about Tess. About our life.

392
00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:57,100
And her death and my responsibility,
my betrayal.

393
00:33:03,660 --> 00:33:04,820
Oh, please tell me you're joking.

394
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:08,700
It couldn't be further from a joke.
It's part of my penance.

395
00:33:08,780 --> 00:33:11,140
- The penance I owe to Tess.
- Penance?

396
00:33:12,500 --> 00:33:14,940
<i>- Guilt.</i> Anyone would think...
- I'm converting.

397
00:33:15,020 --> 00:33:16,820
- I'm becoming a Roman Catholic.
- Oh, no.

398
00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:19,620
- Like Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh.
- No, like Peter Scabius.

399
00:33:19,700 --> 00:33:22,220
Why is it that all English writers
are converting to bloody Catholicism?

400
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:23,700
Why not be a very devout Anglican?

401
00:33:23,820 --> 00:33:27,620
Because I need a savage, unforgiving,
brutal God.

402
00:33:27,820 --> 00:33:29,500
Since Tess's death... Don't you see,

403
00:33:29,580 --> 00:33:32,420
I don't want some bourgeois, Anglican God
I can have a nice cup of tea with.

404
00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:34,700
I want to be frightened of my deity. In awe.

405
00:33:34,780 --> 00:33:37,220
You do know it's all complete
mumbo jumbo, don't you?

406
00:33:37,300 --> 00:33:40,460
Life's about luck. Good luck and bad luck.

407
00:33:40,540 --> 00:33:42,380
The good luck you have
and the bad luck you have. That's all.

408
00:33:42,460 --> 00:33:44,460
What utter nonsense.
You can't live with a philosophy like that.

409
00:33:44,540 --> 00:33:47,060
- Forget it.
- Anyway, I want you to read it,

410
00:33:47,140 --> 00:33:50,940
tell me what you think of it. Honestly.
I've not spared myself.

411
00:34:08,660 --> 00:34:12,380
Currency speculation is high treason.
No doubt at all.

412
00:34:12,620 --> 00:34:13,820
Really?

413
00:34:13,940 --> 00:34:18,540
Well, it is when you're the ex-King of England
and your country's been at war for four years.

414
00:34:19,260 --> 00:34:22,580
We have reason to believe the Duke
has borrowed two million dollars

415
00:34:22,660 --> 00:34:25,140
from some plutocrat and is speculating

416
00:34:25,220 --> 00:34:27,860
on the currency markets
through a bank in Mexico.

417
00:34:27,940 --> 00:34:30,460
- Why would he do it?
- He keeps moaning about how poor he is.

418
00:34:30,540 --> 00:34:34,020
Among his other plethora of endless moans.

419
00:34:38,380 --> 00:34:40,580
But what's this got to do with my division?
I'm Spain and Portugal.

420
00:34:40,660 --> 00:34:43,220
You're a serving officer, Logan, like me.

421
00:34:43,300 --> 00:34:45,740
We have no choice
once we've been given an order.

422
00:34:47,780 --> 00:34:50,940
This is highly secret, okay? Not a word.

423
00:34:51,700 --> 00:34:54,020
Right, I understand.

424
00:34:58,660 --> 00:35:01,580
How do you do this trick, Logan?
You're only nine years old.

425
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:05,180
The reds represent a decade,
more kind for the old chap.

426
00:35:05,260 --> 00:35:07,580
I've got a birthday present for you, Logan.

427
00:35:10,340 --> 00:35:13,540
- I sold the last Miró.
- Really, that's wonderful.

428
00:35:13,940 --> 00:35:16,460
A museum in Boston bought it.
Could have sold a dozen more.

429
00:35:17,020 --> 00:35:20,620
- I'll bring the money over, discreetly.
- Discreetly?

430
00:35:20,700 --> 00:35:23,940
- Ship ahoy! Splice the mainbrace!
- A-ha!

431
00:35:25,020 --> 00:35:28,940
The Lord High Admiral Mountstuart
is about to take to the ocean wave.

432
00:35:29,020 --> 00:35:30,900
- Really?
- Mmm. Mustn't breathe a word.

433
00:35:30,980 --> 00:35:32,300
But they're going to give me
command of a ship.

434
00:35:33,100 --> 00:35:34,300
A ship?

435
00:36:07,060 --> 00:36:09,060
We should be in sight of the Bahamas
in an hour, sir.

436
00:36:09,900 --> 00:36:12,020
We're making for Nassau.

437
00:36:13,340 --> 00:36:15,540
Yes, that's correct. It's good. Good.

438
00:36:15,660 --> 00:36:17,460
And from there we'll be hunting
enemy submarines.

439
00:36:17,540 --> 00:36:19,140
Yes, in theory.

440
00:36:19,940 --> 00:36:22,980
I'm not stupid, sir. I did notice the golf clubs.

441
00:36:25,660 --> 00:36:29,140
I'll be staying in a hotel room.
You'll have your cabin back.

442
00:36:29,780 --> 00:36:33,100
No doubt you'll be able to spot
the Nazi submarines from the lounge bar.

443
00:36:38,940 --> 00:36:42,740
Who is the most important Englishman
on this side of the Atlantic, McStay?

444
00:36:43,420 --> 00:36:46,060
- Ah... The Duke of Windsor?
- That's it.

445
00:36:46,660 --> 00:36:49,020
- And he is...
- The Governor of the Bahamas.

446
00:36:50,220 --> 00:36:51,900
Let's just say I'm here to keep an eye on him.

447
00:36:54,260 --> 00:36:57,580
I'll let you know
when we sight Nassau harbour, sir.

448
00:37:23,620 --> 00:37:24,620
Thank you.

449
00:37:26,780 --> 00:37:28,500
You're new.

450
00:37:29,380 --> 00:37:32,940
A new face, thank God! I'm Harry Oakes.

451
00:37:33,020 --> 00:37:34,340
Lieutenant Logan Mountstuart.

452
00:37:34,420 --> 00:37:39,140
Of course! You're the intrepid sub hunter.

453
00:37:39,740 --> 00:37:43,060
Good luck to you, son.

454
00:37:46,620 --> 00:37:50,340
He believes in plain speaking.
That's my father-in-law.

455
00:37:51,260 --> 00:37:54,980
He likes to call a spade a bloody spade.

456
00:37:55,060 --> 00:37:57,060
- Alfred de Marigny.
- Logan Mountstuart.

457
00:37:58,740 --> 00:38:03,580
Nassau is not a bad place to spend a war.
There is some fun to be had.

458
00:38:03,660 --> 00:38:05,580
- Do you know anyone here?
- No, not a soul.

459
00:38:05,660 --> 00:38:08,540
Mr Logan Mountstuart, as I live and breathe.

460
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,260
They said there was a Navy ship being
stationed here.

461
00:38:12,540 --> 00:38:15,220
Amazing you should be its captain...

462
00:38:16,340 --> 00:38:17,980
Extraordinary coincidence, ma'am.

463
00:38:18,100 --> 00:38:20,900
We have to tell David now.
He'll be thrilled, thrilled...

464
00:38:21,780 --> 00:38:23,660
I can't tell you how pleased I am.

465
00:38:23,740 --> 00:38:27,900
My happiest moment since they stuck us
in this ghastly moron paradise.

466
00:38:27,980 --> 00:38:29,900
Ah, my favourite people, morons.

467
00:38:29,980 --> 00:38:31,740
Spoilt for choice here.

468
00:38:31,820 --> 00:38:33,740
Lovely to see you. How are you?

469
00:38:33,820 --> 00:38:35,740
Queen of the morons.

470
00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:42,020
Why am I so glad to see you, Mr Mountstuart?

471
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:43,980
What can it mean?

472
00:38:45,780 --> 00:38:47,380
Well, I'm not really sure.

473
00:38:50,140 --> 00:38:51,940
David, look who it is!

474
00:38:55,980 --> 00:38:58,220
It's Mr Mountstuart, darling.

475
00:38:59,380 --> 00:39:01,460
He managed to get you Piper Fletcher.

476
00:39:04,940 --> 00:39:08,100
Ah, yes... Lot of damn fuss about nothing.

477
00:39:09,100 --> 00:39:11,420
- You're the golfing chappie, aren't you?
- That's me, sir.

478
00:39:16,820 --> 00:39:17,820
You're tense.

479
00:39:20,740 --> 00:39:21,900
Do you feel tense?

480
00:39:21,980 --> 00:39:24,940
- No, I feel all right, sir. I think it's just...
- Just relax.

481
00:39:26,260 --> 00:39:30,620
Don't look up. Yep, um, no, it's not...
Yeah, it's interesting...

482
00:39:31,220 --> 00:39:33,260
<i>Funny to think I used to enjoy golf.</i>

483
00:39:33,780 --> 00:39:36,900
<i>I'm beginning to see it as a torment</i>
<i>from Dante's</i> Inferno.

484
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:41,660
<i>When I'm not stuck in my stifling room</i>
<i>writing coded nonsense for the NID,</i>

485
00:39:42,060 --> 00:39:46,180
<i>I am condemned to spend an afternoon hitting</i>
<i>a small, white ball with a wooden stick</i>

486
00:39:46,260 --> 00:39:49,380
<i>with a vain little man who cheats</i>
<i>and never says thank you.</i>

487
00:39:49,940 --> 00:39:51,900
<i>And all I can do is smile...</i>

488
00:39:53,140 --> 00:39:54,220
<i>And smile...</i>

489
00:39:55,900 --> 00:39:56,900
<i>And smile.</i>

490
00:39:58,220 --> 00:40:01,580
Freya, Freya, are you still there?

491
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:03,940
Have you heard the news recently?

492
00:40:04,180 --> 00:40:05,340
Yes, what news?

493
00:40:05,420 --> 00:40:07,580
We've beaten
the Germans at El Alamein.

494
00:40:07,660 --> 00:40:09,660
We're advancing against the Japs in Burma.

495
00:40:09,740 --> 00:40:12,620
- Yes. Your point is?
- There's a war on, sir.

496
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:16,420
And you play golf with the Duke of Windsor
three times a week.

497
00:40:16,500 --> 00:40:18,940
The Duke, between ourselves,
is a bit of a CAUC.

498
00:40:20,540 --> 00:40:23,220
- A what?
- "Complete And Utter Cunt."

499
00:40:23,940 --> 00:40:26,620
- Don't snatch at it.
- No. Ah.

500
00:40:27,020 --> 00:40:28,020
Bad luck, Mountstuart.

501
00:40:28,980 --> 00:40:32,380
Hello? Hello, darling? This line's appalling...

502
00:40:33,340 --> 00:40:34,900
<i>What am I doing here?</i>

503
00:40:34,980 --> 00:40:38,420
<i>I feel as if I'm a character</i>
<i>in a chapter of</i> Alice in Wonderland.

504
00:40:38,500 --> 00:40:39,860
<i>I've fallen down a rabbit hole,</i>

505
00:40:39,940 --> 00:40:43,740
<i>and I live in the curious, unreal world</i>
<i>of the Duke and the Duchess.</i>

506
00:40:43,820 --> 00:40:48,300
No, no. I have no news.
I just wanted to hear your voice.

507
00:40:48,460 --> 00:40:51,580
And you're inclined to look up,
which you shouldn't do.

508
00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:55,180
<i>But here I am, trapped.</i>

509
00:40:55,260 --> 00:40:59,860
<i>But I can find nothing against the Duke,</i>
<i>no currency fraud, no evidence at all.</i>

510
00:40:59,940 --> 00:41:03,420
<i>I cabled NID,</i>
<i>"Get me out of here! I'll do anything!"</i>

511
00:41:03,500 --> 00:41:04,500
<i>"Continue with mission".</i>

512
00:41:04,580 --> 00:41:09,020
Give my love to... Hello, hello...

513
00:41:13,860 --> 00:41:15,700
<i>December 31st, 1942.</i>

514
00:41:16,660 --> 00:41:21,060
<i>Mood, low. Libido, non-existent.</i>

515
00:41:22,140 --> 00:41:27,460
<i>Work, nil. Ambition, to get out of this place.</i>

516
00:41:35,260 --> 00:41:40,380
<i>I miss Freya and Stella so much,</i>
<i>it is like a pain in the gut.</i>

517
00:41:44,460 --> 00:41:48,660
<i>Freya... Freya... When will I see Freya again?</i>

518
00:41:48,740 --> 00:41:49,740
<i>Freya...</i>

519
00:41:51,260 --> 00:41:53,260
This for all square, yes?

520
00:41:55,020 --> 00:41:56,700
That's right, sir.

521
00:42:00,100 --> 00:42:02,620
You've had a lot of bad luck on this round.

522
00:42:19,660 --> 00:42:23,260
<i>Even if want to go to Miami</i>
<i>I have to ask permission.</i>

523
00:42:23,340 --> 00:42:26,340
<i>"Please, Mr Churchill, may I see my dentist?"</i>

524
00:42:26,540 --> 00:42:28,580
- It's humiliating.
- That damn woman,

525
00:42:28,660 --> 00:42:31,260
whispering in Churchill's ear, day and night.

526
00:42:31,340 --> 00:42:33,300
Yes, you said
she was very petty and vindictive.

527
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:36,540
They can't stand me,
but I don't care.

528
00:42:36,620 --> 00:42:39,780
They want to keep David
as far away as possible from Bertie.

529
00:42:39,860 --> 00:42:41,260
I'm not sure that's true.

530
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:43,300
They can't have you in England.

531
00:42:43,380 --> 00:42:45,980
The King would be seen
for the simple fool that he is.

532
00:42:46,060 --> 00:42:49,660
And as for that horrible, dumpy,
Scottish woman...

533
00:42:50,900 --> 00:42:53,740
If you were there, David,
all eyes would be on you.

534
00:42:53,980 --> 00:42:55,380
Isn't that so, Logan?

535
00:42:55,460 --> 00:42:57,020
Well, as you always say,

536
00:42:57,100 --> 00:43:00,260
when a minor, provincial aristocrat suddenly
finds she's Queen of England...

537
00:43:00,340 --> 00:43:01,340
Exactly.

538
00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:07,620
Some people have greatness
thrust upon them and simply can't handle it.

539
00:43:07,700 --> 00:43:11,780
At least we still have friends,
powerful friends.

540
00:43:11,860 --> 00:43:14,580
We know who we can call on in an emergency.

541
00:43:14,660 --> 00:43:16,900
We are not without influence.

542
00:43:19,900 --> 00:43:24,740
We can still get what we want,
even if it takes a little longer these days.

543
00:43:25,860 --> 00:43:29,180
Your short-putting game is deplorable,
Logan.

544
00:43:30,580 --> 00:43:34,180
You've got to keep your head
absolutely still, like this.

545
00:43:34,660 --> 00:43:37,820
You keep looking up. Looking around.
Smiling.

546
00:43:40,740 --> 00:43:44,820
Bop! In she goes. See? Easy.

547
00:43:46,180 --> 00:43:47,180
Logan...

548
00:43:49,580 --> 00:43:53,540
We want you to think of yourself
as an <i>ami de la maison.</i>

549
00:43:55,820 --> 00:43:58,820
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.
I'm very honoured.

550
00:44:02,540 --> 00:44:04,580
Who the hell is that now?

551
00:44:10,460 --> 00:44:11,780
Yep?

552
00:44:14,340 --> 00:44:16,540
What is it, darling?

553
00:44:18,140 --> 00:44:20,900
Harry Oakes, my God! He's been murdered.

554
00:44:23,660 --> 00:44:27,140
Logan, I might need your help here.
Where, where is he?

555
00:44:36,980 --> 00:44:39,540
Well, if the Duke says

556
00:44:39,620 --> 00:44:43,140
you must be given unimpeded access,
I can hardly deny you, can I?

557
00:44:43,220 --> 00:44:46,700
I think he just wants someone familiar
to get him the facts.

558
00:44:47,180 --> 00:44:50,380
- Know anything of Sir Harry?
- Nothing much. Just the usual gossip.

559
00:44:50,460 --> 00:44:52,900
I shook his hand once.
The richest millionaire in the Bahamas.

560
00:44:52,980 --> 00:44:55,580
Owns dozens of gold mines in Canada.
Great benefactor...

561
00:44:55,660 --> 00:44:58,060
And a singularly unpleasant man.

562
00:44:58,140 --> 00:45:01,420
Lucky you came now,
we were just about to remove the body.

563
00:45:02,580 --> 00:45:04,780
They tried to set the bed on fire.

564
00:45:04,860 --> 00:45:07,300
I suppose the house was meant to burn down.
Cover everything up.

565
00:45:10,620 --> 00:45:13,180
Anybody else in the house? Servants?

566
00:45:13,260 --> 00:45:14,860
Just one house guest.

567
00:45:14,940 --> 00:45:18,620
A Mr Harold Christie. A business partner
of Oakes. He was sleeping next door.

568
00:45:19,100 --> 00:45:23,340
- Sleeping? You're joking?
- Slept through the whole thing, apparently.

569
00:45:25,580 --> 00:45:27,340
They're interviewing, de Marigny,
the son-in-law.

570
00:45:27,420 --> 00:45:30,260
Him. Yes, of course.
Loathsome gigolo, lounge lizard.

571
00:45:31,180 --> 00:45:33,700
He would have done it for the money.
For Oakes's will.

572
00:45:33,780 --> 00:45:35,420
Yes, him. Must be him.

573
00:45:35,500 --> 00:45:37,940
Well, there's this other man, Christie,
who was in the house at the same time.

574
00:45:38,020 --> 00:45:40,540
He slept through it all, he says.
The whole thing stinks.

575
00:45:40,620 --> 00:45:43,300
- Just my filthy luck!
- I don't follow, sir.

576
00:45:43,380 --> 00:45:48,100
If they hadn't bungled the job,
there wouldn't be a murder inquiry. Typical.

577
00:45:48,180 --> 00:45:50,780
Looks very, very bad, Logan.

578
00:45:50,860 --> 00:45:55,140
That this should happen on my watch.
Rotten, filthy, bad luck.

579
00:45:55,220 --> 00:45:58,580
I can't be associated
with this sort of ghastly thing.

580
00:45:58,660 --> 00:46:02,100
We've got to sort this out fast.
We need real professionals.

581
00:46:02,540 --> 00:46:06,660
Now, I am going to call a couple of detectives
I know in Miami, real experts.

582
00:46:06,740 --> 00:46:09,900
They'll wrap this thing up in a day or so.
I'd like you to meet them.

583
00:46:09,980 --> 00:46:11,500
Whatever I can do to help, sir.

584
00:46:18,580 --> 00:46:20,340
<i>I'm Alfred de Marigny.</i>

585
00:46:20,420 --> 00:46:24,700
<i>Nassau is not a bad place to spend a war.</i>
<i>There is some fun to be had.</i>

586
00:46:26,980 --> 00:46:29,300
<i>Know anything of Sir Harry?</i>

587
00:46:29,380 --> 00:46:30,820
<i>He would have done it for the money.</i>

588
00:46:30,900 --> 00:46:31,900
<i>A singularly unpleasant man.</i>

589
00:46:31,980 --> 00:46:33,620
<i>Yes, him. Must be him.</i>

590
00:46:34,940 --> 00:46:37,740
Mountstuart? I'm Barker, this is Melchen.

591
00:46:38,700 --> 00:46:42,100
The Duke said you were coming.
The de Marigny guy, you know him?

592
00:46:42,180 --> 00:46:45,060
Yes, I've met him once before. Briefly.

593
00:46:45,140 --> 00:46:48,820
So you could offer him a cigarette,
glass of water, he wouldn't be suspicious?

594
00:46:48,900 --> 00:46:50,180
No, I don't think so.

595
00:46:50,700 --> 00:46:54,460
Good. I want you give
de Marigny these cigarettes.

596
00:46:54,540 --> 00:46:58,900
And make sure you hold them like that.
Let him open the pack.

597
00:46:58,980 --> 00:47:01,060
Then we'll come along
and leave the rest to us.

598
00:47:01,180 --> 00:47:02,300
Why?

599
00:47:02,860 --> 00:47:04,940
We need to get de Marigny's prints.

600
00:47:05,020 --> 00:47:06,660
The cellophane on a pack of smokes
does a great job.

601
00:47:06,980 --> 00:47:09,060
- We'll be right behind you.
- No. Forget it.

602
00:47:09,460 --> 00:47:12,340
- No, forget it. I'm going.
- Hey. Hey, buddy.

603
00:47:12,420 --> 00:47:14,940
- The Duke...
- Do your own dirty work.

604
00:47:15,060 --> 00:47:16,820
I'll talk to the Duke.

605
00:47:22,140 --> 00:47:24,780
I simply don't believe it! It's outrageous!

606
00:47:30,340 --> 00:47:34,340
You did nothing? Not a thing?
You didn't help them?

607
00:47:37,380 --> 00:47:39,060
It's already all over the American newspapers.

608
00:47:39,140 --> 00:47:41,300
What do you think the gutter press
in England will make of it?

609
00:47:41,380 --> 00:47:44,580
- It's a disaster.
- Sir, they're completely corrupt.

610
00:47:45,340 --> 00:47:48,260
I don't know whether you've heard,
de Marigny's been charged.

611
00:47:48,340 --> 00:47:52,340
Amazingly, a fingerprint was found
on the Chinese screen in the murder room.

612
00:47:52,420 --> 00:47:54,900
One perfect print from de Marigny's thumb.
It's a sham.

613
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:58,220
Well, the man did it. The murder
is solved. The guilty man is in jail.

614
00:47:58,300 --> 00:48:00,020
- It's perfect!
- Sir, it's a total frame-up.

615
00:48:00,100 --> 00:48:03,460
They are framing de Marigny
for Sir Harry Oakes' murder.

616
00:48:03,540 --> 00:48:05,020
- We can't stand by and...
- How dare you suggest

617
00:48:05,100 --> 00:48:07,940
I would call in corrupt detectives?
How dare you? Get out of here!

618
00:48:08,020 --> 00:48:10,060
- Sir, I wasn't suggesting...
- Oh, yes, you are!

619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:12,460
Your implication is clear.

620
00:48:12,540 --> 00:48:14,500
We have solved this horrible, horrible murder

621
00:48:14,580 --> 00:48:18,820
in under 48 hours and I will not have
some junior officer like you stand in my way.

622
00:48:18,900 --> 00:48:21,140
Get out! Get out of here, now!

623
00:48:22,300 --> 00:48:23,300
Ma'am, thank God you're here.

624
00:48:23,380 --> 00:48:25,260
You have to tell the Duke
these detectives are corrupt.

625
00:48:25,340 --> 00:48:29,020
- He's being betrayed by them.
- Judas! You're the betrayer.

626
00:48:29,300 --> 00:48:31,580
- After everything we've done for you!
- Please, ma'am. I beg you.

627
00:48:31,660 --> 00:48:32,900
I'm only thinking of the Duke's good name,

628
00:48:32,980 --> 00:48:34,180
- his reputation...
- Judas.

629
00:48:34,260 --> 00:48:37,500
Don't worry, we'll get you, Judas.

630
00:49:29,380 --> 00:49:30,500
Well, hello, sailor.

631
00:49:34,300 --> 00:49:35,300
Hello.

632
00:49:39,580 --> 00:49:42,580
Stella! There's a nice man at the door.

633
00:49:43,300 --> 00:49:45,060
Daddy! Daddy!

634
00:49:50,140 --> 00:49:51,140
Hello.

635
00:49:58,500 --> 00:50:01,500
- Don't cry, silly Daddy. Guess what?
- What?

636
00:50:02,100 --> 00:50:04,380
- We've got a dog.
- A dog?

637
00:51:23,020 --> 00:51:26,060
- Here's to <i>Guilt.</i>
- To <i>Guilt.</i> How many copies now?

638
00:51:26,140 --> 00:51:28,380
100,000. Hence the champers.

639
00:51:29,460 --> 00:51:33,140
Well, I'm insanely jealous.
Haven't written a word all war.

640
00:51:33,860 --> 00:51:36,140
My God. It says here,
"Peter Scabius is a towering genius".

641
00:51:36,220 --> 00:51:37,220
I know.

642
00:51:38,660 --> 00:51:40,900
But I think Tess would be pleased, don't you?

643
00:51:41,580 --> 00:51:43,740
I think she'd be happy for me.

644
00:51:43,820 --> 00:51:48,340
I have an image of her, smiling at me,
saying, "Well done, Peter."

645
00:51:52,100 --> 00:51:53,740
Back in a second.

646
00:51:58,060 --> 00:52:02,220
I'm beginning to worry that Peter
is turning into a CAUC.

647
00:52:02,300 --> 00:52:04,500
I know exactly what you mean.

648
00:52:51,340 --> 00:52:52,340
Thanks.

649
00:53:02,700 --> 00:53:06,020
Well, I'm very impressed, Logan.
Bang in the middle.

650
00:53:06,420 --> 00:53:09,300
- It's quite terrifying, actually.
- Nonsense.

651
00:53:10,020 --> 00:53:13,500
Well, three more jumps to go.
The question is, Ian.

652
00:53:13,580 --> 00:53:15,860
- Mmm-hmm.
- Why am I learning to parachute?

653
00:53:15,940 --> 00:53:19,740
Well, we want you to jump out of a plane,
of course.

654
00:53:30,060 --> 00:53:31,780
Tomorrow...

655
00:53:38,500 --> 00:53:41,060
<i>What're you going</i>
<i>to do in Switzerland?</i>

656
00:53:41,140 --> 00:53:44,980
They're losing the war, darling. So the Nazis
are running, looking for somewhere to hide.

657
00:53:45,060 --> 00:53:46,260
I'm going to set a trap for them.

658
00:53:47,220 --> 00:53:49,020
<i>I'm supposed to pose</i>
<i>as a Uruguayan ship broker</i>

659
00:53:49,100 --> 00:53:51,420
<i>and offer them safe passage to Uruguay.</i>

660
00:53:51,700 --> 00:53:55,260
I shouldn't even be telling you.
It's a deadly secret. I could be sent to prison.

661
00:53:55,340 --> 00:53:58,500
I'd rather you were rotting in prison
than beguiling Nazis in Switzerland.

662
00:53:59,340 --> 00:54:02,940
<i>It's a neutral country.</i>
<i>I'll be perfectly safe. It's perfectly safe.</i>

663
00:54:06,540 --> 00:54:10,260
<i>What if you meet this</i>
<i>beautiful, cuckoo-clock manufacturing,</i>

664
00:54:10,340 --> 00:54:12,180
<i>buxom, Swiss milkmaid?</i>

665
00:54:12,980 --> 00:54:15,700
- You'll never come back.
- Try and stop me.

666
00:54:15,780 --> 00:54:18,820
She'll make you live
in a chalet in the mountains

667
00:54:18,900 --> 00:54:23,380
- and make you chocolate every day.
- Ah, but I don't like chocolate.

668
00:54:49,140 --> 00:54:50,620
Nice night for it, sir.

669
00:54:59,420 --> 00:55:00,580
Can you take your position?

670
00:55:10,900 --> 00:55:14,100
This is my last flight. I'm on leave tomorrow.

671
00:55:14,180 --> 00:55:15,180
Lucky you.

672
00:55:16,820 --> 00:55:21,100
Can I ask you, sir? Brighton or Margate?

673
00:55:21,900 --> 00:55:24,540
- Sorry?
- Going for a week's holiday.

674
00:55:24,620 --> 00:55:27,020
I'm taking the wife.
Which one would you choose?

675
00:55:30,460 --> 00:55:33,820
Guess we'll never know, will we, sir?
Happy landings!

676
00:55:38,980 --> 00:55:42,420
<i>Remember this, son.</i>
<i>It's just luck in the end.</i>

677
00:55:43,100 --> 00:55:44,100
<i>That's all life is.</i>

678
00:57:02,340 --> 00:57:04,420
I'd like to see the British Consul, please.

679
00:57:04,500 --> 00:57:05,860
Why the British Consul?

680
00:57:07,100 --> 00:57:11,820
You are a citizen of Uruguay.
A ship broker from Montevideo.

681
00:57:12,660 --> 00:57:16,020
But there is no Uruguayan
Consulate here in Geneva.

682
00:57:20,020 --> 00:57:23,020
I'm not Gonzago Peredes.
I work for British Intelligence!

683
00:57:49,740 --> 00:57:52,580
<i>Day 47, I'm almost certainly sure.</i>

684
00:57:53,460 --> 00:57:56,300
<i>We must be sometime in the middle</i>
<i>of 1944 by now.</i>

685
00:57:56,380 --> 00:57:58,980
<i>I ask to see the British Consul</i>
<i>three times a week.</i>

686
00:57:59,060 --> 00:58:00,820
<i>Nothing. Silence.</i>

687
00:58:00,900 --> 00:58:04,460
<i>I eat two reasonable meals a day. I can</i>
<i>empty my chamber pot in the evening.</i>

688
00:58:04,540 --> 00:58:07,620
<i>I have a shower once a week. I have no watch.</i>

689
00:58:13,660 --> 00:58:18,340
<i>Day 73, the guards still</i>
<i>only speak to me in Spanish.</i>

690
00:58:19,180 --> 00:58:23,020
<i>I think of Freya every day,</i>
<i>every hour, every minute.</i>

691
00:58:23,100 --> 00:58:25,820
<i>Fleming must have told her</i>
<i>I've been captured. He must have.</i>

692
00:58:25,900 --> 00:58:28,900
<i>She has to know that I'm alive.</i>
<i>She must know.</i>

693
00:58:30,300 --> 00:58:35,140
<i>Day 106. All I think about is Freya,</i>

694
00:58:35,220 --> 00:58:38,300
<i>Freya and Stella, Stella and Freya.</i>

695
00:58:41,660 --> 00:58:45,140
<i>I don't think I'm alone in this place</i>
<i>because I hear doors slam</i>

696
00:58:45,220 --> 00:58:46,900
<i>and other voices.</i>

697
00:58:53,780 --> 00:58:54,780
Get out!

698
00:58:55,460 --> 00:58:56,460
<i>But who betrayed me?</i>

699
00:58:56,900 --> 00:58:59,180
- You, Judas!
<i>- Who?</i>

700
00:58:59,260 --> 00:59:03,340
<i>Those police came straight for me.</i>
<i>No hesitation.</i>

701
00:59:13,060 --> 00:59:14,060
<i>Bonjour.</i>

702
00:59:28,540 --> 00:59:31,980
Yeah. Good day to you, too.

703
00:59:32,820 --> 00:59:34,140
Good day to you, too!

704
00:59:38,820 --> 00:59:44,860
Come on, Albert, say hello to Albertine.
Don't be shy, Albertine.

705
00:59:44,940 --> 00:59:47,620
He's a very, very handsome woodlouse.

706
00:59:47,700 --> 00:59:49,620
<i>We are not without influence.</i>

707
00:59:50,420 --> 00:59:52,100
We can still get what we want.

708
00:59:52,420 --> 00:59:56,980
I demand to see the governor!
I have my rights!

709
00:59:57,300 --> 01:00:02,620
<i>I am not Gonzago Peredes.</i>
<i>I am Logan Mountstuart. I am an English spy.</i>

710
01:00:02,700 --> 01:00:04,940
<i>I demand to see the British Consul.</i>

711
01:00:14,940 --> 01:00:20,100
You don't need to speak Spanish to me.

712
01:00:36,700 --> 01:00:41,100
I am explaining to you, I am <i>Señor</i> Fernández
from the Spanish Consulate in Lausanne.

713
01:00:41,180 --> 01:00:43,780
We are responsible for Uruguayan affairs
here in Switzerland.

714
01:00:43,860 --> 01:00:48,380
But I am not Uruguayan.
My name is Logan Mountstuart. I am British.

715
01:00:49,540 --> 01:00:51,580
I'm very sorry. There is some mistake.

716
01:00:51,860 --> 01:00:53,820
I am not responsible.
You must see British Consulate.

717
01:00:55,540 --> 01:00:59,500
- What is the date?
- October 22, 1944.

718
01:00:59,580 --> 01:01:03,700
<i>- And what is this place?</i>
<i>- Prison for the Swiss Intelligence Agency.</i>

719
01:01:05,460 --> 01:01:09,500
I need to get a message to someone
in London. Can you do this for me?

720
01:01:09,580 --> 01:01:11,020
I can try.

721
01:01:12,740 --> 01:01:16,820
I beg you, from the depths of my soul.
Get this to London and to that person.

722
01:01:16,900 --> 01:01:19,020
Please, it's all I ask.

723
01:01:19,580 --> 01:01:21,980
I will do my best, <i>Señor</i> Peredes.

724
01:02:05,300 --> 01:02:07,540
So you're not Gonzago Peredes?

725
01:02:09,140 --> 01:02:11,460
My name is Logan Mountstuart.

726
01:02:11,540 --> 01:02:13,780
I am a British agent
working for the Naval Intelligence Division.

727
01:02:13,860 --> 01:02:16,900
I was arrested by the Swiss
near Geneva in April, 1944.

728
01:02:17,020 --> 01:02:19,540
I've been in prison for over a year.

729
01:02:20,780 --> 01:02:25,020
Please contact London. Look,
they will verify everything. Everything.

730
01:02:27,620 --> 01:02:28,620
What's happening with the war?

731
01:02:29,820 --> 01:02:32,340
The war is over.
Germany surrendered a month ago.

732
01:02:34,380 --> 01:02:35,380
Oh!

733
01:02:37,220 --> 01:02:40,740
Well, that's good. That's very good.

734
01:03:18,580 --> 01:03:20,660
Hello, dear. Can I help?

735
01:03:21,020 --> 01:03:23,300
Is that the postman, love?

736
01:03:26,220 --> 01:03:30,860
Uh, I am terribly sorry, I'm looking for
Mrs Freya Mountstuart and her daughter.

737
01:03:31,380 --> 01:03:33,340
Oh, yes, they used to live here.

738
01:03:34,940 --> 01:03:38,140
Do you know where they live now?
I'm Logan Mountstuart.

739
01:03:41,620 --> 01:03:44,420
Her husband. I was a prisoner in the war.

740
01:03:46,740 --> 01:03:49,940
Did no one tell you?
Oh, somebody should've told you, love.

741
01:03:51,820 --> 01:03:53,140
Told me what?

742
01:03:53,220 --> 01:03:56,300
About the rocket. The V-2.
At the end of last year.

743
01:03:56,380 --> 01:03:59,660
She'd just went up to the school
at the top of the road to pick up the little girl,

744
01:03:59,740 --> 01:04:02,340
and the rocket fell...
