1
00:00:59,851 --> 00:01:02,354
Ron, can we do something about
Camera <i>2</i> today?

2
00:01:02,437 --> 00:01:03,734
- Already done.
- Tip-top.

3
00:01:03,814 --> 00:01:05,236
That scoop over there.

4
00:01:05,857 --> 00:01:08,485
Hurry up, boys.
We've got a show to do tonight.

5
00:01:10,904 --> 00:01:12,372
- Mr Madden.
- Miss Rowley.

6
00:01:14,366 --> 00:01:16,414
You seem very bright this morning.

7
00:01:16,493 --> 00:01:19,246
Well, I had a great night.
I didn't sleep a wink.

8
00:01:21,164 --> 00:01:23,417
How extraordinary. Neither did I.

9
00:01:28,797 --> 00:01:30,515
- Miss Rowley.
- Audacious.

10
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:33,553
- Papers are in.
- Mmm.

11
00:01:33,969 --> 00:01:39,271
<i>Oh. Chronicle, Telegraph, Mail,</i>
all <i>leading with Suez.</i>

12
00:01:41,643 --> 00:01:43,316
We could be at war this time tomorrow.

13
00:02:13,925 --> 00:02:15,723
Isaac, darling, what are you doing?

14
00:02:15,802 --> 00:02:17,019
Filming a light bulb.

15
00:02:17,929 --> 00:02:19,101
Right.

16
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:24,232
Can you turn it back on, please?

17
00:02:25,187 --> 00:02:26,279
<i>EX'. What's Isaac doing?</i>

18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:28,656
Calder Hall. Opened Wednesday.

19
00:02:29,191 --> 00:02:32,616
The first nuclear powered electricity
will be lighting up London today.

20
00:02:32,694 --> 00:02:34,788
- I'm humouring him.
- And where's that going?

21
00:02:34,821 --> 00:02:38,075
We've got Hungary. We've got more than
enough to grapple with on Suez.

22
00:02:38,158 --> 00:02:40,877
Is this the best that Freddie
can come up with on the Home Desk?

23
00:02:40,952 --> 00:02:42,625
It's not Freddie. It's Isaac's idea.

24
00:02:42,704 --> 00:02:45,833
Because he's paddling without a steer.
Doesn't Freddie do any work any more?

25
00:02:45,916 --> 00:02:48,385
This week is fine.
Hungary and Suez can take the load.

26
00:02:48,460 --> 00:02:51,430
Calder Hall is back up.
john, have you seen Freddie?

27
00:02:52,130 --> 00:02:53,427
I need a camera at the House of Commons.

28
00:02:53,507 --> 00:02:55,259
If he's not here in 10 minutes,
then you go.

29
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:57,098
Bel, stop protecting him.

30
00:02:57,177 --> 00:02:58,975
If Isaac's farting around
with light bulbs

31
00:02:59,054 --> 00:03:01,273
then Freddie clearly doesn't need him.
I do.

32
00:03:01,348 --> 00:03:04,943
Where's my bloody assistant?
We're on air in 10 hours.

33
00:03:06,228 --> 00:03:09,903
I'm sorry. They keep promising to send
a replacement for Mr Kish,

34
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:12,739
but they're probably worried
I'll finish another one off.

35
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:15,613
Seems such a bloody waste.
He was only 33.

36
00:03:16,488 --> 00:03:20,163
Someone's telling me something.
Note to self. Drink more whisky.

37
00:03:20,784 --> 00:03:23,913
10 o'clock. Viewing theatre. We'll have
a last look at the Hungary footage.

38
00:03:24,913 --> 00:03:28,042
And there's no chance of footage
of Israeli troops leaving Egypt?

39
00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:32,221
With or without coverage, sweetheart,
we need an angle for tonight's show.

40
00:03:32,295 --> 00:03:34,138
A world in revolt.

41
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:37,388
While demonstrators rage on the streets
of Budapest demanding freedom

42
00:03:37,467 --> 00:03:38,593
from the Soviets,

43
00:03:38,677 --> 00:03:40,224
Israel finally stands up to Nasser,

44
00:03:40,303 --> 00:03:42,897
crossing 120 miles over the border
into Egypt

45
00:03:42,973 --> 00:03:44,941
and Britain looks set to invade.

46
00:03:45,642 --> 00:03:47,690
- Great news day.
- Mmm-hmm.

47
00:03:47,769 --> 00:03:49,146
He's a clever boy.

48
00:03:51,106 --> 00:03:54,701
What a beautiful tie, Hector.
It goes so nicely with your eyes.

49
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,204
Hmm. Weren't you wearing it yesterday?

50
00:04:06,872 --> 00:04:09,125
<i>Israel is advancing
on the Suez canal</i>

51
00:04:09,207 --> 00:04:10,959
<i>and has met with heavy gunfire.</i>

52
00:04:11,042 --> 00:04:14,296
<i>With Colonel Nasser's rejection
of Sir Anthony Eden's ultimatum,</i>

53
00:04:14,379 --> 00:04:16,381
<i>Britain could invade Egypt today.</i>

54
00:04:25,891 --> 00:04:27,393
So when do you think he'll do it?

55
00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:29,819
- What?
- Eden.

56
00:04:30,228 --> 00:04:31,275
Invade.

57
00:04:34,274 --> 00:04:37,198
John, if you do that again, I'll put
you over my knee, do you hear?

58
00:04:37,778 --> 00:04:38,950
Now, go to your room!

59
00:04:43,533 --> 00:04:44,705
Sorry.

60
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:47,997
Tom never mentioned you.

61
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:51,049
No, he wouldn't have.
We'd only recently met.

62
00:04:51,833 --> 00:04:54,552
Right. Thank you for bringing back
his raincoat.

63
00:04:55,754 --> 00:04:57,097
They brought back most of his things.

64
00:04:57,881 --> 00:05:00,634
All sort of oddities that one keeps
in one's desk.

65
00:05:00,717 --> 00:05:03,470
Spectacles. I don't know what
I'm going to do with those.

66
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:05,438
I was given a film.

67
00:05:07,265 --> 00:05:12,317
It's of your husband with Peter Darrall
and Ruth Elms?

68
00:05:15,357 --> 00:05:16,950
I think you shot it.

69
00:05:18,693 --> 00:05:23,790
Your hand. The ring on your hand, you
can see it as it waves them into frame.

70
00:05:25,784 --> 00:05:27,832
I'm not here to hurt you.
I'm from the BBC.

71
00:05:32,082 --> 00:05:35,507
I knew Ruth. As a child.

72
00:05:37,337 --> 00:05:39,715
I'm trying to find out
what happened to her.

73
00:05:42,050 --> 00:05:45,099
I don't know if you know,
but Ruth committed suicide.

74
00:05:46,388 --> 00:05:48,186
Is that what they reported?

75
00:05:48,265 --> 00:05:50,768
At least I was spared the shame of that.

76
00:05:52,018 --> 00:05:54,020
Robbery, heart attack or suicide.

77
00:05:54,104 --> 00:05:56,027
It's either one or the other with M16.

78
00:05:57,232 --> 00:05:58,905
Your husband worked for MI6?

79
00:06:02,779 --> 00:06:03,905
And Peter?

80
00:06:05,615 --> 00:06:07,709
I can't talk to you.
Will you please leave?

81
00:06:08,285 --> 00:06:11,255
Please. Please help me.

82
00:06:13,582 --> 00:06:16,335
I just need someone
to tell me the truth.

83
00:06:26,928 --> 00:06:30,398
Yes.

84
00:06:32,601 --> 00:06:35,070
- I see our friends are back again.
- Hmm.

85
00:06:38,815 --> 00:06:40,533
What do you think?

86
00:06:45,947 --> 00:06:47,745
About a month before that film
was taken,

87
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:51,044
Peter and Tom went away
on one of their trips.

88
00:06:51,119 --> 00:06:53,372
I didn't ask. They'd never tell me.

89
00:06:53,455 --> 00:06:57,085
But when he returned,
he seemed really different.

90
00:06:58,418 --> 00:06:59,465
In what way?

91
00:07:00,337 --> 00:07:04,058
Sort of lost in himself. Drinking more.

92
00:07:07,969 --> 00:07:09,596
He said one thing.

93
00:07:10,013 --> 00:07:15,440
That he couldn't trust Peter any more.

94
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:18,238
There was some kind of betrayal.

95
00:07:19,773 --> 00:07:22,526
Tom stopped talking about him.
I stopped asking.

96
00:07:23,401 --> 00:07:25,199
He just cut Peter out?

97
00:07:26,655 --> 00:07:29,408
When I read about the robbery
in the newspaper,

98
00:07:30,825 --> 00:07:32,418
I knew that Tom had done it.

99
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:35,164
What do you mean?

100
00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:38,917
He had killed Peter.

101
00:07:43,838 --> 00:07:45,681
Shh. Shh.

102
00:07:52,263 --> 00:07:54,561
Oh, careful. Freddie's cake.

103
00:07:55,850 --> 00:08:00,697
Oh, birthday. Christ.
Um, Sissy, what time is Mr Tripp in?

104
00:08:00,772 --> 00:08:02,490
Car's picking him up at 5:00.

105
00:08:02,565 --> 00:08:04,283
Can you let me know
as soon as he gets here?

106
00:08:04,359 --> 00:08:06,202
Okay. Oh, I got a card
if you want to sign it.

107
00:08:06,277 --> 00:08:08,655
Right. Great. Thank you.

108
00:08:08,738 --> 00:08:11,958
Oh, chocolate. He doesn't eat chocolate.
You didn't get him chocolate?

109
00:08:12,033 --> 00:08:14,912
- Vanilla sponge?
- Fine. That'll be fine.

110
00:08:14,995 --> 00:08:16,087
Good.

111
00:08:17,247 --> 00:08:18,464
A little jumpy?

112
00:08:19,124 --> 00:08:23,630
Oh, sorry. Sorry.
You haven't seen Freddie, have you?

113
00:08:23,712 --> 00:08:26,306
No. Do you ever stop looking
after that man?

114
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:28,888
You even know
what birthday cake he likes.

115
00:08:28,967 --> 00:08:32,767
Nasser's retaliating. Israeli forces
are coming under fire in the Mitla Pass.

116
00:08:32,846 --> 00:08:35,395
- Well, have you got a man inside?
- Yep, yeah, I'm on it.

117
00:08:35,473 --> 00:08:38,192
Ron, I want the latest transcripts
from Budapest radio...

118
00:08:40,061 --> 00:08:41,688
Are you jealous, Mr Madden?

119
00:08:43,314 --> 00:08:47,319
- So they were in again?
- Mmm-hmm. Asked the same questions.

120
00:08:48,111 --> 00:08:50,330
They wanted to speak to Freddie again.

121
00:08:51,322 --> 00:08:53,450
- Police?
- No, no, no. Secret Service.

122
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,043
Coat and shoes. Government issue.

123
00:08:56,786 --> 00:08:57,878
And?

124
00:08:58,621 --> 00:08:59,713
I covered for him.

125
00:09:00,582 --> 00:09:01,754
Be careful.

126
00:09:08,298 --> 00:09:11,268
- How's your Hungary copy going?
- Swimmingly.

127
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:16,853
- What?
- Nobody says "swimmingly" any more.

128
00:09:21,186 --> 00:09:22,733
You are jealous, aren't you?

129
00:09:23,605 --> 00:09:25,949
Well, for future reference,
I hate icing.

130
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:29,994
Right.

131
00:09:33,156 --> 00:09:34,328
She's gone back to sleep.

132
00:09:34,407 --> 00:09:36,409
He's a very naughty boy.
He's always fussing around her.

133
00:09:37,786 --> 00:09:39,584
Did Tom ever talk about Brightstone?

134
00:09:40,872 --> 00:09:42,920
No. I've never heard that before.

135
00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:47,011
Do you think he killed Ruth?

136
00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:48,213
No.

137
00:09:49,964 --> 00:09:51,307
You know, I really don't know.

138
00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:55,767
It could have been Tom.
It could have been any one of them.

139
00:09:58,598 --> 00:09:59,850
He was my husband.

140
00:10:01,810 --> 00:10:03,278
What do I do now?

141
00:10:05,063 --> 00:10:06,110
I'm so sorry.

142
00:10:07,899 --> 00:10:10,869
That poor, poor girl and her parents.

143
00:10:12,529 --> 00:10:16,079
And they were so welcoming that weekend,

144
00:10:19,494 --> 00:10:21,371
just letting us into their home.

145
00:10:23,081 --> 00:10:24,549
Lord and Lady Elms.

146
00:10:32,924 --> 00:10:36,349
You keep it, if it fits.

147
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:43,727
Do you know, I do like your programme.

148
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:49,445
But it does make the world seem
unbearably real.

149
00:11:31,107 --> 00:11:32,450
That's enough.

150
00:11:33,276 --> 00:11:35,074
Thank you, Mr Albert.

151
00:11:45,997 --> 00:11:49,297
- You're running...
- The footage. It speaks for itself.

152
00:11:51,211 --> 00:11:54,431
Hector and Lix felt it complemented
all that's going on in Egypt.

153
00:11:54,505 --> 00:11:56,724
I feel they demand equal billing.

154
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:58,722
We might never get a week
like this again.

155
00:11:58,801 --> 00:12:01,850
The West is on the edge of victory
over Soviet colonialism in Budapest

156
00:12:01,930 --> 00:12:03,853
while joint French and British action

157
00:12:03,932 --> 00:12:06,811
is stoking the flames
of Western colonialism in Egypt.

158
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:10,772
It's more or less
what Dulles said last night.

159
00:12:10,855 --> 00:12:12,402
It's still brilliant, Hector.

160
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:21,582
Could we not have someone,
say perhaps McCain,

161
00:12:21,658 --> 00:12:24,127
answer speculations that Downing Street
had prior knowledge

162
00:12:24,202 --> 00:12:25,875
of Israel's plan to invade Egypt?

163
00:12:25,954 --> 00:12:27,501
Do you think you'd get the truth
out of him?

164
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:28,627
I'm very persuasive.

165
00:12:28,706 --> 00:12:30,800
And what of the 14-day rule?

166
00:12:30,875 --> 00:12:34,254
Anything debated in the House cannot be
fodder for broadcast political debate.

167
00:12:34,337 --> 00:12:36,886
The gag rule.
Who says we live in a democracy?

168
00:12:36,965 --> 00:12:39,343
Show me how you get round it
and I'll happily concede.

169
00:12:40,093 --> 00:12:42,312
Well, I don't think McCain will stray

170
00:12:42,387 --> 00:12:45,140
very far from the official
party line, anyway.

171
00:12:45,181 --> 00:12:48,105
Darling, don't be so unbelievably wet.
Clarence?

172
00:12:48,142 --> 00:12:52,272
You can ask him yourself, he's coming
here in exactly five minutes.

173
00:12:52,355 --> 00:12:54,858
He wants to brief us on Suez. Shall we?

174
00:12:57,193 --> 00:12:58,240
Where's Freddie?

175
00:12:58,987 --> 00:13:00,034
I don't know.

176
00:13:00,738 --> 00:13:02,081
I hear MI6 were in.

177
00:13:03,366 --> 00:13:06,495
What's the point of the Secret Service
if they're not actually secret?

178
00:13:06,577 --> 00:13:08,500
- How did you know?
- Lix told me.

179
00:13:10,206 --> 00:13:11,879
They wanted to speak to Freddie again.

180
00:13:12,625 --> 00:13:15,174
- Is he any better?
- Well, he's washed this week.

181
00:13:16,963 --> 00:13:18,306
I don't know. He's late again.

182
00:13:19,173 --> 00:13:21,016
Tell him I want to see him
when he comes in.

183
00:13:55,877 --> 00:13:58,380
Eden is defending his policies
in the House this afternoon.

184
00:13:58,463 --> 00:14:00,261
So we will be going into Suez today?

185
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:02,058
I can't possibly comment
at this precise moment.

186
00:14:02,133 --> 00:14:03,180
Here we go.

187
00:14:03,259 --> 00:14:05,853
His critics are coming out
in full force, Angus.

188
00:14:05,928 --> 00:14:09,057
You're giving them ammunition,
they'll use it against him.

189
00:14:09,140 --> 00:14:11,939
Some decisions are based on principle,
not on political gain.

190
00:14:12,018 --> 00:14:15,739
Now, Nasser's seizure of the canal
triggered Israel's actions.

191
00:14:15,813 --> 00:14:17,440
We have no choice but to go in.

192
00:14:17,523 --> 00:14:20,777
But without United Nations support,
Eden leaves himself vulnerable.

193
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:24,455
All we are asking for, Hector,
is some balance in your reporting.

194
00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:27,500
Will you come on The Hour
and state the government's view?

195
00:14:27,825 --> 00:14:28,951
I'm a little camera shy.

196
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:30,954
Well, that's unfortunate.

197
00:14:31,037 --> 00:14:34,041
Stephen Tripp has kindly agreed
to present the opposition's view

198
00:14:34,123 --> 00:14:35,420
on the show tonight.

199
00:14:35,833 --> 00:14:38,837
This is highly irregular.
Clarence, need I remind you of the rule?

200
00:14:39,504 --> 00:14:41,131
Tripp's a cad.
I wouldn't share a taxi with him.

201
00:14:41,214 --> 00:14:42,966
I wouldn't share a taxi with you, Angus.

202
00:14:43,049 --> 00:14:44,392
Bel.

203
00:14:44,467 --> 00:14:46,265
But I would happily have
you on the programme.

204
00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:50,272
Miss Rowley, why do you ask
when you know it is frankly impossible?

205
00:14:50,348 --> 00:14:51,600
There will be absolutely no debate

206
00:14:51,682 --> 00:14:54,060
on any matter that is currently
occupying the House.

207
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:56,521
Which it most emphatically is today.

208
00:14:56,771 --> 00:14:59,069
How is the Prime Minister
holding up under the strain?

209
00:14:59,315 --> 00:15:00,862
He's remarkably cheerful, thank you.

210
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:04,074
Perhaps that is the mark of a great
leader in the midst of a crisis.

211
00:15:04,153 --> 00:15:05,200
Surely you must have known,

212
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:07,828
someone must have known
that Israel was planning this attack?

213
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:10,251
That is a ridiculous assertion,
Miss Storm.

214
00:15:10,326 --> 00:15:14,206
Or perhaps like many of your colleagues,
you're not as well-informed as you seem.

215
00:15:15,164 --> 00:15:17,462
Rumour has it that you've all been
banished to the back room.

216
00:15:19,168 --> 00:15:22,422
You know, I didn't think she'd last
as long as she has, Clarence.

217
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:27,260
Douglas said you thought a lady
would be easier to steer.

218
00:15:27,301 --> 00:15:29,019
You were obviously wrong.

219
00:15:33,558 --> 00:15:37,688
No one was more surprised than I
at Israel's actions.

220
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:40,944
Stories are circulating
in American newspapers.

221
00:15:41,023 --> 00:15:42,275
Well, I hope you don't believe
everything you read

222
00:15:42,358 --> 00:15:43,905
in the foreign gutter press.

223
00:15:46,779 --> 00:15:51,580
The opening of Calder Hall nuclear
power station by Her Majesty the Queen

224
00:15:51,659 --> 00:15:54,583
marks an epoch in the history
of nuclear power.

225
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:57,840
For Calder Hall is the first
power station in the world

226
00:15:57,915 --> 00:16:00,088
to generate nuclear electricity.

227
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:01,552
Hold it still.

228
00:16:01,627 --> 00:16:03,129
It's got a wobble. You fix it.

229
00:16:08,843 --> 00:16:12,973
The first nuclear-powered electricity
will reach London today.

230
00:16:13,055 --> 00:16:15,729
We at the BBC hope to capture
this historic...

231
00:16:15,808 --> 00:16:18,106
Isaac, there's something
I've got to tell you.

232
00:16:18,352 --> 00:16:19,399
Yes?

233
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:21,902
My dad, he reckons the phone lines
are bugged.

234
00:16:21,939 --> 00:16:23,031
- What?
- The click.

235
00:16:23,107 --> 00:16:25,109
He thinks that maybe someone's
listening in.

236
00:16:25,193 --> 00:16:27,571
They'll think I'm off me bleeding rocker
if I say something like that.

237
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:29,326
Don't you think?

238
00:16:29,405 --> 00:16:30,748
Isaac, what are you doing?

239
00:16:30,823 --> 00:16:33,372
Oh, I thought I'd try
and catch the moment.

240
00:16:33,451 --> 00:16:35,328
With a light bulb, when it goes on.

241
00:16:37,371 --> 00:16:38,543
Did I ask you to do this?

242
00:16:39,290 --> 00:16:40,337
No.

243
00:16:41,918 --> 00:16:43,135
Thought not.

244
00:16:46,631 --> 00:16:49,475
- Leave it to me, Sissy.
- I knew you'd know what to do.

245
00:16:58,017 --> 00:17:01,317
Did you say it?
A woman would be easier to steer?

246
00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:06,284
Be sure Hector does not raise
the issue of Suez with Tripp.

247
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,238
- We cannot break the gag.
- Then why have him on the show?

248
00:17:10,488 --> 00:17:11,831
He can talk about Hungary.

249
00:17:12,573 --> 00:17:13,620
Did you say it?

250
00:17:18,162 --> 00:17:22,042
We have quadrupled our viewers
in less than three months.

251
00:17:22,124 --> 00:17:25,719
I have constantly delivered
this programme.

252
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:29,679
The reviews have dramatically improved
in the last two months.

253
00:17:30,925 --> 00:17:32,723
- I deserve this job.
-No one deserves thisjob.

254
00:17:32,802 --> 00:17:34,395
You're not royalty.
It is not bestowed on you.

255
00:17:34,470 --> 00:17:36,893
There are no lifetime guarantees.

256
00:17:36,973 --> 00:17:38,350
Did you say it?

257
00:17:38,933 --> 00:17:40,025
Yes.

258
00:17:55,533 --> 00:17:58,377
I hope you appreciate how much
I've enjoyed watching you prosper

259
00:17:58,452 --> 00:18:00,170
over the last few months.

260
00:18:00,246 --> 00:18:02,340
You are a naturalfrontman, Hector.

261
00:18:02,415 --> 00:18:04,008
I'm only as good as the team around me.

262
00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:05,676
Nonsense. You're ambitious.

263
00:18:06,419 --> 00:18:10,299
And ambition's like love,
impatient both of delays and rivals.

264
00:18:10,965 --> 00:18:12,888
The only person you can really trust
is yourself.

265
00:18:13,342 --> 00:18:15,140
But it is important to do one'sjob.

266
00:18:15,845 --> 00:18:20,100
Especially in a time of crisis.
Duty, Hector. You understand that.

267
00:18:20,641 --> 00:18:21,813
Yes, of course.

268
00:18:22,852 --> 00:18:26,573
In certain circles, <i>The</i> Hour
is gaining a reputation

269
00:18:26,647 --> 00:18:28,365
for realjournalistic integrity.

270
00:18:29,817 --> 00:18:31,535
It would be disappointing
if it fell into the trap

271
00:18:31,611 --> 00:18:35,661
of legitimising unsubstantiated
rumour and gossip.

272
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:39,543
It may come back to haunt you, Hector.

273
00:18:40,703 --> 00:18:42,000
Good luck tonight.

274
00:18:51,005 --> 00:18:53,599
- Where the hell have you been?
- Out.

275
00:18:53,674 --> 00:18:57,053
No. Not good enough.
It's nearly midday.

276
00:18:57,845 --> 00:18:58,892
You just missed McCain.

277
00:18:58,971 --> 00:19:00,063
Yes, I saw.

278
00:19:00,848 --> 00:19:02,771
And they've been in again.

279
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,773
Apparently you can tell
by their shoes and coat.

280
00:19:05,269 --> 00:19:06,942
- Who says?
- Hector.

281
00:19:09,023 --> 00:19:10,616
She said I could keep it.

282
00:19:11,776 --> 00:19:12,823
In here.

283
00:19:16,113 --> 00:19:18,662
You went to see his wife?
Are you insane?

284
00:19:18,699 --> 00:19:21,669
They could have seen you.
They're obviously suspicious.

285
00:19:21,744 --> 00:19:25,214
I was delivering my condolences.
They were following me again.

286
00:19:25,539 --> 00:19:28,759
You look terrible.
Why don't you go home and go to sleep?

287
00:19:29,752 --> 00:19:32,175
We have everything in hand here.
You can take the rest of the day off.

288
00:19:32,254 --> 00:19:33,346
I can't sleep.

289
00:19:37,968 --> 00:19:39,390
I told them you were with me.

290
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:43,433
I assured them that we all liked Tom.

291
00:19:43,516 --> 00:19:48,113
No. No, it was the weekend.
Yes, I did think he had been drinking.

292
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:50,940
Young for a heart attack, but not
out of the realms of possibility.

293
00:19:50,981 --> 00:19:52,483
I called an ambulance.

294
00:19:52,566 --> 00:19:53,692
Anonymously.

295
00:19:55,444 --> 00:19:57,446
I have this feeling as if someone
is standing by my shoulder.

296
00:19:57,530 --> 00:19:58,873
I can't seem to shake it.

297
00:19:58,948 --> 00:20:02,498
Freddie, tell me what happened?
If it's a story, then just tell me.

298
00:20:02,576 --> 00:20:06,251
- Maybe we can do something with it.
- I can't. God, my head hurts.

299
00:20:07,623 --> 00:20:10,502
A beautiful girl falls in love
with a traitor

300
00:20:11,001 --> 00:20:12,878
who is passing secrets
that don't make any sense.

301
00:20:14,380 --> 00:20:16,303
What is a Brightstone?
Who is a Brightstone?

302
00:20:17,258 --> 00:20:20,102
It's a secret dangerous enough
to get you killed, even by a friend.

303
00:20:20,177 --> 00:20:22,771
You're rambling.
Have you even eaten today?

304
00:20:23,848 --> 00:20:25,316
It's my fault.

305
00:20:25,391 --> 00:20:26,813
You said hejust fell.

306
00:20:30,062 --> 00:20:31,609
Step away from the story.

307
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,865
Wait until the heat has passed
on Tom's death and then...

308
00:20:39,155 --> 00:20:42,500
- At worst it was an accident.
- There are no accidents.

309
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:45,335
Apparently.

310
00:20:47,121 --> 00:20:50,341
Remember that when I'm found
floating in the Thames.

311
00:20:52,042 --> 00:20:53,589
God, I don't want to die like that.

312
00:20:54,587 --> 00:20:56,385
I don't want to just disappear.

313
00:20:56,422 --> 00:20:57,719
Happy birthday.

314
00:20:59,425 --> 00:21:00,517
You forgot.

315
00:21:00,593 --> 00:21:01,970
- No.
- Yes.

316
00:21:03,929 --> 00:21:04,976
Did.

317
00:21:08,851 --> 00:21:11,320
What? He's not going to need it.

318
00:21:18,235 --> 00:21:21,034
How can you tell someone's MI6
by their raincoat?

319
00:21:23,365 --> 00:21:25,413
Surely anyone could have bought
a 100% wool,

320
00:21:26,368 --> 00:21:28,166
green-grey run-of-the-mill...

321
00:21:28,788 --> 00:21:32,588
Actually no. Reinforced seams.

322
00:21:34,668 --> 00:21:37,547
They tried to recruit me.
Second year of university.

323
00:21:38,255 --> 00:21:39,882
Frightfully nice chap.

324
00:21:42,384 --> 00:21:43,931
Although, to be honest,
I was a little worried.

325
00:21:44,011 --> 00:21:46,514
He seemed somewhat, shall we say,
over keen.

326
00:21:46,597 --> 00:21:49,350
Inviting me to his parents' chateau
in Marseilles,

327
00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:51,727
skiing trips, it was all paid for.

328
00:21:52,102 --> 00:21:54,605
When he made the approach
on behalf of His Majesty's Government,

329
00:21:54,688 --> 00:21:56,690
-to be frank, I was quite relieved.
- Uh-huh.

330
00:21:58,150 --> 00:21:59,322
Are you in trouble?

331
00:22:01,070 --> 00:22:02,196
Yes.

332
00:22:03,864 --> 00:22:05,207
Then listen to me.

333
00:22:08,285 --> 00:22:10,379
Whatever you know, whatever you've seen,
just forget it.

334
00:22:11,413 --> 00:22:12,881
Write your stories about
the rest of the world

335
00:22:12,957 --> 00:22:17,133
but my advice, I don't believe you'll
find an answer to her death.

336
00:22:20,673 --> 00:22:25,600
Things happen that we can't even
begin to understand, nor should we try.

337
00:22:28,639 --> 00:22:31,734
Things happen? Things don't just happen.

338
00:22:32,393 --> 00:22:35,693
A series of events take place,
a catalogue of choices are made,

339
00:22:35,771 --> 00:22:37,489
an action takes place
and it has consequence.

340
00:22:37,565 --> 00:22:39,112
It all has consequence.

341
00:22:39,191 --> 00:22:40,864
A young woman meets a man,
they fall in love.

342
00:22:40,901 --> 00:22:42,574
They have a secret affair.

343
00:22:42,653 --> 00:22:46,829
And in this world, right now, today,
that is dangerous.

344
00:22:48,450 --> 00:22:49,667
She told you.

345
00:22:51,579 --> 00:22:54,082
I knew she'd tell you.
Well, you're her best friend.

346
00:22:55,791 --> 00:22:58,465
It just happened.
We didn't mean it to but...

347
00:23:00,838 --> 00:23:02,306
Look, I'd rather you didn't...

348
00:23:02,339 --> 00:23:04,967
Of course. Yes, of course.

349
00:23:08,679 --> 00:23:10,647
It's all been very sudden
and I wouldn't want...

350
00:23:10,723 --> 00:23:12,646
Your wife to find out. Of course not.

351
00:23:12,725 --> 00:23:14,193
Well, you've met her. She's very sweet

352
00:23:14,268 --> 00:23:16,236
and I'm not particularly
proud of myself, so...

353
00:23:18,856 --> 00:23:20,324
Of course. Yes.

354
00:23:28,449 --> 00:23:29,496
Freddie?

355
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,247
Yes?

356
00:23:31,827 --> 00:23:35,127
I was wondering,
could you check over my copy?

357
00:23:35,998 --> 00:23:37,671
Yes, of course. Absolutely.

358
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:41,094
Lix and I have been working on it

359
00:23:41,170 --> 00:23:44,299
and I don't quite feel
that I'm getting the balance.

360
00:23:54,516 --> 00:23:56,894
Suez and Hungary. Perfect match.

361
00:23:58,896 --> 00:24:02,776
Very different backgrounds,
however, common unifying theme.

362
00:24:04,276 --> 00:24:08,531
Oppression and revolt.
Together casting an interesting light.

363
00:24:08,864 --> 00:24:10,992
Cut in on the second line,
third paragraph.

364
00:24:11,617 --> 00:24:16,248
It's pretty brilliant, Hector.
Really, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

365
00:24:16,372 --> 00:24:19,501
I couldn't have written better.
Well, maybe a little bit.

366
00:24:20,626 --> 00:24:22,720
Can I borrow your car?

367
00:24:24,505 --> 00:24:25,848
I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.

368
00:24:27,091 --> 00:24:28,183
Uh, all right.

369
00:24:30,844 --> 00:24:34,064
Thank you. jolly decent of you, Hector.

370
00:24:35,724 --> 00:24:39,319
You should know I don't have a license,
but Bel's taught me the basics.

371
00:24:39,395 --> 00:24:40,487
I think I'll be fine.

372
00:24:41,981 --> 00:24:43,654
Well, who needs a bumper, anyway?

373
00:24:50,197 --> 00:24:51,414
Didn't think you smoked.

374
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:54,539
I don't, but everyone else does
so I'm practising.

375
00:24:58,747 --> 00:24:59,999
Not so deep.

376
00:25:03,127 --> 00:25:04,299
That's better.

377
00:25:04,837 --> 00:25:07,636
Mr Lyon, have I done something wrong?

378
00:25:08,465 --> 00:25:09,591
How, exactly?

379
00:25:09,675 --> 00:25:13,521
When you asked me to be your assistant,
I presumed I'd be working with you.

380
00:25:14,096 --> 00:25:15,848
On stories and so forth.

381
00:25:15,931 --> 00:25:19,526
I'm happy to hold the camera,
or write up the extra copy

382
00:25:19,601 --> 00:25:22,104
that you need, but it's not the same
as actually working with you.

383
00:25:22,771 --> 00:25:23,988
Isaac, I'm touched.

384
00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:25,991
I just hope you feel that
I'm earning my place here.

385
00:25:28,944 --> 00:25:30,821
Sissy's dad says the phones
are being bugged.

386
00:25:32,489 --> 00:25:33,706
Right.

387
00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:37,002
Do you think I should tell Clarence?

388
00:25:37,077 --> 00:25:39,956
No. Clarence has got enough
to think about today.

389
00:25:41,123 --> 00:25:43,592
Thank you very much, Mr Wengrow.
That's very useful.

390
00:25:43,917 --> 00:25:45,419
Well, actually it's Wengrow.

391
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:48,801
As in to grow flowers.

392
00:25:48,881 --> 00:25:51,475
Really? Extraordinary.

393
00:27:10,045 --> 00:27:13,390
Frederick? Is it you?

394
00:27:17,052 --> 00:27:19,521
I was hoping to speak to Lord Elms.

395
00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:22,600
Oh, we spend most of our time
in London now.

396
00:27:22,683 --> 00:27:24,560
This house is too big for us, really.

397
00:27:26,019 --> 00:27:27,646
So it's just Audrey and I.

398
00:27:28,981 --> 00:27:30,824
She cooks for us and...

399
00:27:32,109 --> 00:27:35,534
and she listens to the wireless
all day long.

400
00:27:36,029 --> 00:27:37,406
- Tea?
- No, thank you.

401
00:27:45,247 --> 00:27:47,500
Do you remember your summers
here, Frederick?

402
00:27:50,502 --> 00:27:51,674
Yes.

403
00:27:52,421 --> 00:27:55,470
- You'd never want to go home.
- But you'd always send me.

404
00:28:00,262 --> 00:28:02,435
Perhaps if I could just talk
to Lord Elms.

405
00:28:04,141 --> 00:28:07,520
Thank you for your card. I had so many.

406
00:28:08,770 --> 00:28:11,569
Of course, no one really knows
what to say.

407
00:28:12,858 --> 00:28:14,451
But everyone's been so kind.

408
00:28:16,653 --> 00:28:17,870
It wasn't suicide.

409
00:28:19,031 --> 00:28:22,376
No. No, I don't like
to call it that, either.

410
00:28:23,202 --> 00:28:25,079
She wasn't in her right mind, you know.

411
00:28:25,162 --> 00:28:27,164
She didn't really know
what she was doing

412
00:28:28,290 --> 00:28:31,965
and there's such purpose
in taking one's own life, isn't there?

413
00:28:32,669 --> 00:28:34,888
So I don't think of it that way, either.

414
00:28:35,005 --> 00:28:37,303
No. I mean...

415
00:28:38,508 --> 00:28:41,978
She didn't kill herself.
She was killed, Lady Elms.

416
00:28:42,054 --> 00:28:43,852
- She was...
- Now then, Frederick.

417
00:28:46,225 --> 00:28:48,444
You always were a storyteller,
weren't you?

418
00:28:50,312 --> 00:28:52,314
Is he here? Is Lord Elms here?

419
00:28:53,357 --> 00:28:54,859
I've been trying to get hold of him
for weeks.

420
00:28:54,900 --> 00:28:56,823
Well, he prefers to stay in town.

421
00:28:58,487 --> 00:29:03,038
You know, the drive tires him awfully
and he gets very muddled.

422
00:29:03,116 --> 00:29:04,663
- So we all felt...
- We?

423
00:29:07,371 --> 00:29:09,214
...that he was best in Chelsea.

424
00:29:11,166 --> 00:29:14,010
I keep having to remind him
that she's not coming back.

425
00:29:16,505 --> 00:29:20,601
And she's not.
Best to put all that away.

426
00:29:23,345 --> 00:29:25,188
It's just that...

427
00:29:25,264 --> 00:29:27,062
I believe it was he who sent me it.

428
00:29:28,225 --> 00:29:30,569
The film of Ruth and Peter Darrall?

429
00:29:34,147 --> 00:29:35,399
<i>Darraﬂ'?</i>

430
00:29:40,028 --> 00:29:46,081
Oh, well, yes. Richard did know
a Darrall. Um, yes. Wonderful man.

431
00:29:46,785 --> 00:29:48,628
Heroic in the First World War.

432
00:29:49,246 --> 00:29:53,171
And he had the most lovely daughter.
What was her name? Um...

433
00:29:54,668 --> 00:29:57,137
- Very plump girl...
- It looks pretty recent.

434
00:29:59,006 --> 00:30:00,053
She looked so happy.

435
00:30:01,425 --> 00:30:02,517
Deceptively.

436
00:30:04,261 --> 00:30:07,481
No. One never can retain these things.

437
00:30:10,642 --> 00:30:16,194
Well, I'm sorry for disturbing you.
I thought that...

438
00:30:16,273 --> 00:30:18,571
Thinking never helped anyone, Frederick.

439
00:30:19,401 --> 00:30:22,450
Least of all such an earnest
young man as yourself.

440
00:30:27,075 --> 00:30:30,249
I never expected you to make
so much of yourself.

441
00:30:50,182 --> 00:30:54,688
I don't like to paint over them.
They all have such nice memories.

442
00:30:56,521 --> 00:31:00,116
Rather like a visitor's book.

443
00:31:04,571 --> 00:31:05,697
Yes.

444
00:31:41,566 --> 00:31:42,613
Hello?

445
00:31:43,402 --> 00:31:44,574
It's Mrs Madden.

446
00:31:45,779 --> 00:31:47,747
Marnie, how are you?

447
00:31:47,781 --> 00:31:50,034
I'm afraid you've been put through
to the wrong line. Hector's...

448
00:31:50,117 --> 00:31:53,621
Oh, in the studio. Silly me. I forgot.

449
00:31:55,038 --> 00:31:57,382
<i>- Could you just tell him I called?
-of course.</i>

450
00:31:58,500 --> 00:31:59,968
We had a little tiff, you see.

451
00:32:00,836 --> 00:32:03,510
<i>- Oh?
- It was over wallpaper.</i>

452
00:32:03,588 --> 00:32:06,387
<i>I wanted tiny roses and he wanted plain.</i>

453
00:32:08,093 --> 00:32:10,562
<i>So silly, don't you think?</i>

454
00:32:11,054 --> 00:32:14,308
These things can be cause
for heated exchange.

455
00:32:14,724 --> 00:32:19,321
You're right. But then, his home
is so important to him.

456
00:32:25,694 --> 00:32:28,072
<i>If you could tell him
that I've ordered plain.</i>

457
00:32:28,655 --> 00:32:33,502
It will be ready to be picked up
on Friday, if you could just remind him.

458
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:36,004
I'm terribly sorry, Marnie.
I have to go.

459
00:32:36,079 --> 00:32:37,877
It's frightfully busy today.

460
00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:44,963
Final scripts in, please.
On air in one hour.

461
00:32:46,465 --> 00:32:48,342
Not now, Ron. Go away. Go away!

462
00:32:48,467 --> 00:32:49,468
Mmm.

463
00:33:03,940 --> 00:33:06,284
<i>In Westminster;
Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden</i>

464
00:33:06,359 --> 00:33:08,737
<i>has just finished giving his speech
to the House of Commons</i>

465
00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:11,744
<i>in which he outlined the government's
response to events in Egypt.</i>

466
00:34:18,181 --> 00:34:20,559
Mr Tripp, thank you for coming
on the programme.

467
00:34:20,642 --> 00:34:24,738
We've heard tonight from Hungarian
refugees, who have suggested

468
00:34:24,813 --> 00:34:28,568
that recent events have somewhat shifted
the world's attention away from...

469
00:34:28,650 --> 00:34:30,072
-- Sorry.

470
00:34:31,820 --> 00:34:34,664
Away from the situation in Hungary.

471
00:34:34,739 --> 00:34:35,740
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

472
00:34:35,782 --> 00:34:39,832
Some have warned that
should the world look away now,

473
00:34:39,911 --> 00:34:42,289
the Soviet Union may feel free
to act at will.

474
00:34:43,540 --> 00:34:45,258
Is there a danger of this happening,
do you think?

475
00:34:46,459 --> 00:34:49,133
This can't go on. The missed deadlines,
the unexplained absences.

476
00:34:49,212 --> 00:34:52,011
Out today, and yesterday on the street
and again this morning.

477
00:34:52,090 --> 00:34:53,888
- Blue car, black interior.
- What?

478
00:34:53,967 --> 00:34:56,891
- Why am I being followed?
- Oh. Mr Lyon, you're back.

479
00:34:58,263 --> 00:34:59,264
In here.

480
00:35:04,436 --> 00:35:05,653
- Freddie...
- Don't lie to me.

481
00:35:05,729 --> 00:35:08,027
Are you a soviet agent, Freddie?

482
00:35:08,690 --> 00:35:09,782
No.

483
00:35:09,858 --> 00:35:12,953
Somewhere in the BBC is a soviet agent.
Kish was looking...

484
00:35:13,028 --> 00:35:14,280
- Christ.
- Looking for the...

485
00:35:14,362 --> 00:35:15,705
- For the agent.
- Yes.

486
00:35:16,573 --> 00:35:17,995
Whoever killed him...

487
00:35:18,074 --> 00:35:19,997
- He was with me.
- What?

488
00:35:20,076 --> 00:35:21,453
Kish was with me.

489
00:35:26,374 --> 00:35:29,594
We got into a fight.
We'd been in the canteen.

490
00:35:29,669 --> 00:35:31,922
I confronted him about Peter Darrall.
They were friends.

491
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:35,054
- Did anyone see you?
- Um, I don't think so.

492
00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:36,555
Just breathe, breathe.

493
00:35:37,844 --> 00:35:41,314
He was strangling me and then he fell.

494
00:35:43,141 --> 00:35:44,438
Christ.

495
00:35:48,355 --> 00:35:50,528
Darrall left this...

496
00:35:52,567 --> 00:35:55,036
the night he was killed,
at a newspaper kiosk.

497
00:35:55,111 --> 00:36:00,459
I found it the next day.
If you place it over the crossword,

498
00:36:02,535 --> 00:36:07,587
it says, "He knows. Revert
to Brightstone."

499
00:36:07,666 --> 00:36:10,761
I mean, you can't see it now,
but the letters, I've worked it out.

500
00:36:10,835 --> 00:36:13,384
You see the perforations?
They mark exactly.

501
00:36:21,137 --> 00:36:24,311
- They're going to kill me.
- No, they're not. Did you tell them?

502
00:36:24,391 --> 00:36:27,190
- When they interviewed you? The police?
- No. Bel covered for me.

503
00:36:27,268 --> 00:36:28,690
Good. Does anyone else know about this?

504
00:36:28,770 --> 00:36:29,862
Only Bel.

505
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:33,487
Christ.

506
00:36:37,737 --> 00:36:38,863
Right.

507
00:36:40,782 --> 00:36:41,783
What are you doing?

508
00:36:42,325 --> 00:36:45,704
You never told me any of this.
This conversation hasn't happened.

509
00:36:45,787 --> 00:36:49,382
I have just reprimanded you for failing
to attend your own programme,

510
00:36:49,457 --> 00:36:51,130
which you will not do again.

511
00:36:51,209 --> 00:36:52,836
- Clarence...
- It's your birthday, Freddie.

512
00:36:53,795 --> 00:36:54,967
Now, stand.

513
00:36:57,298 --> 00:36:59,175
Breathe. Walk.

514
00:37:01,344 --> 00:37:02,596
And breathe.

515
00:37:03,304 --> 00:37:04,305
Just breathe.

516
00:37:05,390 --> 00:37:08,064
Let's get this show out
and then we can celebrate.

517
00:37:08,768 --> 00:37:10,190
- Five...
- Goodnight.

518
00:37:10,729 --> 00:37:14,199
- ...four, three, two...

519
00:37:14,274 --> 00:37:17,323
Hello? Hold on. Hold on. Uh-huh.

520
00:37:18,111 --> 00:37:19,863
We've gone in. Eden's sent bombers in.

521
00:37:19,946 --> 00:37:22,745
Put it straight through.
He can take it live on air.

522
00:37:28,204 --> 00:37:30,548
Ron, tell him to pick up
the bloody phone.

523
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,800
Excuse me, ladies and gentleman. I'm
being told to pick up this telephone.

524
00:37:36,713 --> 00:37:37,839
Hello?

525
00:37:39,215 --> 00:37:40,216
Yes.

526
00:37:41,843 --> 00:37:43,140
Thank you, yes.

527
00:37:45,972 --> 00:37:48,316
Ladies and gentleman,
while we've been on air,

528
00:37:48,391 --> 00:37:51,144
news has come in that
Britain has started bombing

529
00:37:51,227 --> 00:37:53,229
military targets in Egypt.

530
00:37:54,189 --> 00:37:58,160
Tonight, as the bombs
rain down on Cairo,

531
00:37:59,110 --> 00:38:03,035
Soviet troops begin to leave
the beleaguered city of Budapest.

532
00:38:03,865 --> 00:38:06,414
Two very different countries,
two very different conflicts.

533
00:38:07,869 --> 00:38:14,673
And yet they share a day when the world
stands on the threshold of change.

534
00:38:16,753 --> 00:38:19,973
What will tomorrow bring? Goodnight.

535
00:38:21,549 --> 00:38:24,098
Cue music and fade out studio.

536
00:38:26,805 --> 00:38:28,557
Newsroom, everybody now, please.

537
00:38:29,641 --> 00:38:31,314
Thanks, everybody. Great show.

538
00:38:43,822 --> 00:38:44,948
What?

539
00:38:45,532 --> 00:38:48,251
Oh, darling girl, it's just nice
to see you so perky.

540
00:38:48,326 --> 00:38:50,545
Do you know how irritating it is
when you say that?

541
00:38:50,620 --> 00:38:52,668
Please don't deny me
one of life's little pleasures,

542
00:38:52,747 --> 00:38:55,546
to patronise those younger
and fresher than me.

543
00:38:58,461 --> 00:38:59,929
You don't like him.

544
00:39:01,256 --> 00:39:03,008
Hector? God, no. I like him very much.

545
00:39:03,091 --> 00:39:05,594
He's gorgeous. No, no, no.
Enjoy him while it lasts.

546
00:39:06,594 --> 00:39:10,019
But his ambition is his real passion.
What's yours?

547
00:39:13,268 --> 00:39:18,775

For he's a jolly good fellow

548
00:39:18,857 --> 00:39:25,081

And so say all of us

549
00:39:29,117 --> 00:39:35,045
Friends! Friends, Romans, countrymen,
lend me your ear.

550
00:39:36,249 --> 00:39:40,095
Tonight is not the night for speeches.

551
00:39:40,169 --> 00:39:42,137
Oh, come on, Freddie. Speech.

552
00:39:42,213 --> 00:39:46,093
But I do wish to say on this grand
occasion of my 26th...

553
00:39:46,175 --> 00:39:47,267
27th.

554
00:39:48,136 --> 00:39:51,606
...something stupid '0 clock birthday,
as the world goes to hell,

555
00:39:52,974 --> 00:39:56,069
that there is truly nowhere else
I would rather be

556
00:39:57,270 --> 00:40:02,071
than sitting in the arse-end of London,
drinking flat beer with you.

557
00:40:02,150 --> 00:40:04,903
- Yay!
-Ch ee rs, ch ee rs.

558
00:40:06,279 --> 00:40:08,247
- How much is that?
- It's ninepence.

559
00:40:08,323 --> 00:40:10,075
- You're Hector Madden?
- Yes.

560
00:40:10,158 --> 00:40:12,911
- I do love your show.
- Have we met before?

561
00:40:12,994 --> 00:40:16,589
<i>- The Man Who Knew.
-Oh, you 'ﬂayed the gm. Very good.</i>

562
00:40:16,664 --> 00:40:18,291
I wish the critics
had felt the same.

563
00:40:18,374 --> 00:40:20,251
They cancelled us after two weeks.

564
00:40:20,710 --> 00:40:23,429
That's a shame.
I rather liked Mr Le Ray.

565
00:40:23,504 --> 00:40:25,347
- Will you top this up?
- Thanks.

566
00:40:25,423 --> 00:40:26,675
Haven't you heard?

567
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:29,386
He was caught in a gentlemen's lavatory
in Russell Square

568
00:40:29,469 --> 00:40:31,392
doing something he shouldn't have.

569
00:40:31,471 --> 00:40:33,815
Apparently he's out on bail,
poor sweetheart.

570
00:40:33,890 --> 00:40:35,233
- Mmm.
- Oh, dear.

571
00:40:36,434 --> 00:40:37,981
Mr Fendley, please.

572
00:40:38,061 --> 00:40:39,984
- Oh, stay.
- Don't go.

573
00:40:40,063 --> 00:40:43,237
No, no. You young things stay
and enjoy yourselves.

574
00:40:43,316 --> 00:40:46,490
But everyone in first thing, hmm?

575
00:40:46,569 --> 00:40:49,368
- Goodbye and farewell.
- Goodnight, Mr Fendley.

576
00:40:49,447 --> 00:40:51,290
- Fa rewe ll.
-Good nig ht, (Ila rence.

577
00:40:52,075 --> 00:40:53,668
- Goodnight, Hector.
- Goodnight, Clarence.

578
00:40:54,243 --> 00:40:55,620
This is really it.

579
00:40:55,995 --> 00:40:59,090
Yeah, it's been coming for a while.
Israel had to protect itself.

580
00:41:00,041 --> 00:41:01,588
Do you think you'll get
conscripted, Isaac?

581
00:41:01,668 --> 00:41:03,295
No, flat feet.

582
00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:09,718
- I'd better get home.
- Yes.

583
00:41:11,302 --> 00:41:12,929
I need to drink some more.

584
00:41:13,012 --> 00:41:16,858
There's the Sunlight. Berwick Street.
My brother's on the door if you...

585
00:41:16,933 --> 00:41:20,278
Sissy, lead the way. Hector?

586
00:41:20,687 --> 00:41:22,155
- Not tonight.
- Fool!

587
00:41:22,897 --> 00:41:23,944
Lix.

588
00:41:23,982 --> 00:41:26,360
Well, I don't think anyone
will sleep tonight. Why not?

589
00:41:26,442 --> 00:41:28,035
I want you all in at 8:00.

590
00:41:28,861 --> 00:41:31,865
You'd better come with us, then.
If you want to be certain.

591
00:41:38,788 --> 00:41:40,631
You know where I'd rather be.

592
00:41:44,794 --> 00:41:49,174
You're increasingly reckless, Mr Madden.
Come find us later.

593
00:41:49,257 --> 00:41:51,055
It will be impossible.

594
00:41:55,263 --> 00:41:59,860
Oh, um, plain. She said plain wallpaper.

595
00:41:59,934 --> 00:42:01,527
Marnie called today.

596
00:42:22,415 --> 00:42:26,841
Put me through to Whitehall 2995.
Thank you.

597
00:42:37,764 --> 00:42:40,062
<i>Buenos noches, guapo.</i>

598
00:42:48,316 --> 00:42:49,568
Thank you.

599
00:42:51,819 --> 00:42:55,244
<i>Muchas gracias, bonita.
Son aretes preciosos.</i>

600
00:42:55,323 --> 00:42:56,745
<i>Gracias, chica.</i>

601
00:43:00,161 --> 00:43:02,255
Boys, boys, boys. Close your mouths.

602
00:43:05,625 --> 00:43:06,877
Do you have a cigarette for me?

603
00:43:17,678 --> 00:43:18,804
Darling?

604
00:43:19,597 --> 00:43:21,395
Oh. It is you.

605
00:43:23,810 --> 00:43:25,687
Daddy and Mummy have already arrived.

606
00:43:25,770 --> 00:43:26,817
Terrific.

607
00:43:27,563 --> 00:43:29,816
- I mixed it all by myself.
- Well done, darling.

608
00:43:30,900 --> 00:43:31,901
You haven't tried it yet.

609
00:43:32,151 --> 00:43:33,152
0h!

610
00:43:43,204 --> 00:43:46,583
May I say how exceptionally beautiful
you look tonight, Moneypenny?

611
00:43:46,666 --> 00:43:48,885
Now, I know you say that
to all the girls, James.

612
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,134
<i>Yes. Very, very buenas nae/res, guapo.</i>

613
00:43:54,549 --> 00:43:56,472
Really. I'm driving them wild.

614
00:43:57,677 --> 00:43:59,896
Got snake hips tonight.

615
00:44:01,973 --> 00:44:04,977
- I like you like this.
- You didn't like me before?

616
00:44:06,018 --> 00:44:08,487
More. I like you even more.

617
00:44:09,397 --> 00:44:11,115
Mmm.

618
00:44:11,774 --> 00:44:13,993
I have an idea for some comedy sketches.

619
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:16,571
- Yeah, hopefully for <i>The</i> Goon Show.
- Oh, right!

620
00:44:16,654 --> 00:44:19,908
I mean, I've written some,
but not for human consumption,

621
00:44:19,991 --> 00:44:21,743
but maybe by the time I'm 22.

622
00:44:21,826 --> 00:44:24,420
Too late. One has to leap, Isaac.

623
00:44:24,495 --> 00:44:27,089
One has to throw oneself into life,
not just shuffle.

624
00:44:27,165 --> 00:44:29,167
It's now or never. Do it.

625
00:44:35,506 --> 00:44:39,056
- Hello, my beauty. May I?
- Looks like you already have.

626
00:44:39,886 --> 00:44:41,559
See? Too late.

627
00:44:41,637 --> 00:44:45,016
There's always another ready
to whisk them onto the floor.

628
00:44:49,353 --> 00:44:51,447
No, no. I'm out. Lix.

629
00:44:51,856 --> 00:44:53,073
- Oh. I'm not...
- Come on, Lix.

630
00:44:53,983 --> 00:44:55,860
Come on. Come on.

631
00:44:57,486 --> 00:44:59,784
Freddie, I haven't danced
since the '40s...

632
00:44:59,864 --> 00:45:02,492
Nonsense, you glorious woman.
Look at you.

633
00:45:03,826 --> 00:45:06,875
Fundamentally, you don't want
an Arab gripping your windpipe.

634
00:45:06,954 --> 00:45:09,548
I say bomb the life out of them
if you have to.

635
00:45:09,582 --> 00:45:10,583
Hmm.

636
00:45:10,708 --> 00:45:14,178
Darling, these are terribly good.
Little shrimps, aren't they?

637
00:45:15,213 --> 00:45:18,342
Mmm. Ralph despises
anything fishy so I never serve it.

638
00:45:18,382 --> 00:45:20,510
But these are really very, very tasty.

639
00:45:20,593 --> 00:45:22,891
- How is Ralph?
- Useless.

640
00:45:24,889 --> 00:45:26,391
Terrible news about Adam.

641
00:45:30,186 --> 00:45:33,656
- That's not true, Ralph loves salmon.
- Oh, yes. Hmm.

642
00:45:36,317 --> 00:45:39,992
How is The Hour?
I was talking to Douglas only yesterday.

643
00:45:41,197 --> 00:45:45,703
- Did you watch it tonight?
- We never miss it. Our little star.

644
00:46:06,180 --> 00:46:09,150
- Do you want to drive?
- No, no. We should be all right here.

645
00:46:09,225 --> 00:46:10,647
Mmm-hmm.

646
00:46:14,814 --> 00:46:17,283
I will not have my team watched
like this.

647
00:46:18,067 --> 00:46:20,411
Everyone is watched sometime
or other during their career.

648
00:46:20,486 --> 00:46:24,332
There is not a Soviet agent on my team.
The BBC perhaps, but not on my team.

649
00:46:25,366 --> 00:46:26,834
- Clarence...
- I appreciate

650
00:46:26,909 --> 00:46:29,037
that the interests of our country
must come first,

651
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,919
but you must see there is irony
in my journalists being followed

652
00:46:31,998 --> 00:46:33,500
while they are following a story.

653
00:46:34,542 --> 00:46:37,921
Then you must tell Mr Lyon
to stop investigating the Elms story.

654
00:46:39,922 --> 00:46:41,924
- They're journalists.
- Yes.

655
00:46:42,842 --> 00:46:45,766
That's what he's meant to do.
Investigating a murder.

656
00:46:45,845 --> 00:46:47,188
That is not newsworthy.

657
00:46:48,139 --> 00:46:51,769
Promise to allow me to present
both sides of the argument.

658
00:46:54,478 --> 00:46:56,401
But he must leave the Elms story
well alone.

659
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,404
When they stop following my team.

660
00:47:03,904 --> 00:47:06,202
- They won't like it.
- Promise me.

661
00:47:09,410 --> 00:47:10,662
I'll do what I can.

662
00:47:13,289 --> 00:47:14,916
You do the same.

663
00:47:22,965 --> 00:47:25,809
- That was fun.
- Yes.

664
00:47:31,140 --> 00:47:32,733
<i>Mo ving on to foreign news,</i>

665
00:47:32,808 --> 00:47:36,028
<i>British forces ha ve made repeated
warnings to Egyptian civilians</i>

666
00:47:36,062 --> 00:47:37,439
<i>to evacuate Cairo.</i>

667
00:47:37,521 --> 00:47:40,525
<i>But reports confirm the lights of Cairo

668
00:47:40,608 --> 00:47:42,576
<i>- In east Africa...
{TURNS RADXO OFF)</i>

669
00:47:42,651 --> 00:47:45,370
I may need to go back into the office.

670
00:47:45,446 --> 00:47:47,164
Oh, no. Hector.

671
00:47:51,202 --> 00:47:53,796
It all went very quiet
when I brought up darling Adam Le Ray.

672
00:47:53,871 --> 00:47:55,168
Daddy's furious.

673
00:47:55,247 --> 00:47:57,295
He's told Ralph he's to have
nothing more to do with him.

674
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,547
It just seems desperately sad.

675
00:48:00,419 --> 00:48:02,387
It's fearful what goes on
behind closed doors.

676
00:48:03,255 --> 00:48:05,508
Thank God we don't have
any children yet.

677
00:48:05,591 --> 00:48:07,935
Imagine if they'd sat down
to dinner with him.

678
00:48:08,010 --> 00:48:09,637
Darling, do you ever listen to yourself?

679
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:11,939
I'm serious, Hector.

680
00:48:20,606 --> 00:48:24,236
Five years from now, I'll be doing
what I do now a bit better.

681
00:48:26,904 --> 00:48:31,535
I won't live in Clapham.
I'll have an exquisite apartment.

682
00:48:31,617 --> 00:48:33,995
In Lucerne.
It's supposed to be very beautiful.

683
00:48:34,078 --> 00:48:36,706
- Too many cuckoo clocks.
- We'd never buy a cuckoo clock.

684
00:48:36,789 --> 00:48:38,291
Oh, good. You'll be there.

685
00:48:38,374 --> 00:48:39,500
Of course.

686
00:48:40,751 --> 00:48:42,173
The commute would be a bit tricky.

687
00:48:42,253 --> 00:48:44,506
- I'll buy a sea plane.
- Oh, naturally.

688
00:48:49,260 --> 00:48:51,763
Land in Tooting Bec Lido each morning.

689
00:48:51,846 --> 00:48:54,144
Up on the Northern Line,
cross onto the Central and...

690
00:48:54,765 --> 00:48:56,438
What will we do with the children?

691
00:48:56,517 --> 00:48:58,611
Gilbert and Maud? Glove compartment.

692
00:48:59,270 --> 00:49:00,647
Thank God for that.

693
00:49:04,066 --> 00:49:05,158
And we'd be happy.

694
00:49:05,234 --> 00:49:09,410
Ecstatic. We won't want to be
anywhere else.

695
00:49:11,240 --> 00:49:12,708
With anyone else.

696
00:49:21,792 --> 00:49:23,465
I think I'm in with a chance.

697
00:49:31,427 --> 00:49:32,804
- Isaac...
- Shh.

698
00:49:38,893 --> 00:49:41,442
I rather like the idea of you
beavering away at your desk,

699
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,864
slaving over a hot little
typewriter tonight.

700
00:49:49,445 --> 00:49:50,788
Don't wait up.

701
00:50:12,968 --> 00:50:14,561
- Shall I walk you?
- No, it's all right.

702
00:50:14,637 --> 00:50:15,934
Sey's got a motorbike.

703
00:50:16,013 --> 00:50:18,482
Motorbike. Wow! Mr Sey.

704
00:50:18,557 --> 00:50:21,231
- It's just Sey. No Mr.
- Oh.

705
00:50:21,310 --> 00:50:24,940
- He's studying medicine.
- A doctor? It gets better.

706
00:50:25,856 --> 00:50:28,075
Very nice meeting you, Mr Wengrow.

707
00:50:35,699 --> 00:50:36,700
Goodnight.

708
00:50:39,828 --> 00:50:42,877
- I should go home.
- No. That's not possible.

709
00:50:43,499 --> 00:50:48,130
Government regulations say you must
stay up all night on the eve of battle.

710
00:50:55,594 --> 00:50:56,686
Do you love him?

711
00:50:59,598 --> 00:51:01,726
- Who told you?
- Does it matter?

712
00:51:03,018 --> 00:51:04,691
Is he nice to you?

713
00:51:05,437 --> 00:51:06,529
Yes.

714
00:51:08,357 --> 00:51:11,110
He buys you flowers. That's a start.

715
00:51:14,780 --> 00:51:16,953
Does he tell you how exquisite you are?

716
00:51:19,743 --> 00:51:22,587
-'Cause he should.
- Freddie.

717
00:51:22,663 --> 00:51:28,011
You are exquisite, Bel Rowley.

718
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,427
There you are.

719
00:51:33,924 --> 00:51:37,804
I found you.
I didn't know if you'd be still here.

720
00:51:39,972 --> 00:51:41,770
You should dance with this woman.

721
00:52:01,660 --> 00:52:05,164
Come on, dear boy.
The glorious woman is taking you away.

722
00:52:05,247 --> 00:52:07,090
Bloody brilliant idea.

723
00:52:22,973 --> 00:52:25,101
She didn't know
they were actually running around.

724
00:52:25,184 --> 00:52:27,778
I mean, what did she think?

725
00:52:28,979 --> 00:52:30,526
You know...

726
00:53:28,622 --> 00:53:30,124
My hair dryer.

727
00:54:17,963 --> 00:54:20,842
Sorry. I don't do breakfast.

728
00:54:28,056 --> 00:54:29,103
Thank you.

729
00:54:30,726 --> 00:54:31,773
Canteen opens at 7:00.

730
00:54:31,852 --> 00:54:36,198
If you're light on your toes, you can
beat the queue before the electricians.

731
00:54:36,273 --> 00:54:37,775
They're always in first.

732
00:55:29,868 --> 00:55:31,541
<i>LADY ELMS'. Framlingham 2355.</i>

733
00:55:31,912 --> 00:55:33,038
You're lying to me.

734
00:55:34,998 --> 00:55:36,420
Who is this?

735
00:55:37,501 --> 00:55:43,053
A conspiracy is nothing but the secret
agreement of a number of men

736
00:55:44,341 --> 00:55:47,436
for the pursuance of policies
which they dare not admit to in public.

737
00:55:51,598 --> 00:55:55,068
<i>I will find out the truth.
Do you hear me?</i>

738
00:55:59,064 --> 00:56:03,160
Do you hear me?
I will find out the truth!

739
00:56:12,995 --> 00:56:14,997
-Clarence .
-Good night?

740
00:56:17,124 --> 00:56:21,220
- You?
- Very quiet. Straight home.

741
00:56:26,383 --> 00:56:27,430
Good morning.

742
00:56:34,182 --> 00:56:35,183
Mmm.
