Apparently, 787 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,080 it's attached to an old fear that an enemy might poison your drink. 788 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:30,240 So crashing tankards together meant that a bit from either drink spilled into the other. 789 00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:37,720 Hugo Prince told me that, back in the day. 790 00:56:37,720 --> 00:56:40,280 You and he were quite close, weren't you? 791 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,000 Me and Hugo? 792 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:46,280 Hardly knew him.

Why do we bother? 799 00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:17,880 Because it would be a lot worse if we didn't. 800 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,080 Would it? You know it would. 801 00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,480 And the Tajr missile's still out there. 802 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:26,320 Call Lucas, get Jo and Ben back on the Grid. 803 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,160 So, the Americans have done it again. 804 00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:33,360 God defend me from my friends, from my enemies I can defend myself. 805 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:47,000 If I suspect you of being part of a security breach... 806 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:48,280 Security breach? 807 00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,840 Don't I will not allow you to jeopardise this operation. 808 00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:52,920 If an economy is weak, he preys on it. 809 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,400 Double our position. If he trusts Ros, he's ruined. 810 00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,680 But if he doesn't, the country's ruined. We need ten billion. 811 00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:00,560 We go to 16 billion. 812 00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:02,400 We don't stop until they run out. 813 00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:06,120 I'm sorry, Francis, there's nothing left.
