1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,680
George, I've brought
all I can find on Jim Prideaux.
2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,840
Thank you.
3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:14,079
Prideaux and Bill Haydon were really...
very close, you know.
4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,800
- I hadn't realised.
- Yes.
5
00:00:16,959 --> 00:00:20,560
Thank you. Operation Testify.
6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,840
We need to understand what happened
or, rather, why it happened.
7
00:00:25,999 --> 00:00:29,839
The file you borrowed, Peter,
gives us a nudge in the right direction.
8
00:00:29,999 --> 00:00:34,359
I know who to talk to next.
Your day was hardly wasted.
9
00:00:34,519 --> 00:00:37,239
- I am glad of that.
- We've traced Prideaux.
10
00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:42,680
He's now a teacher. Thursgood Preparatory
School for Boys, in the West Country.
11
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:46,159
Right.
12
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,640
Three, two, one... gol
13
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,760
Come onl Come onl
14
00:01:57,919 --> 00:02:02,279
Handbrake on,
gear in neutral, switch off ignition.
15
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:04,919
Please, sir, how long, sir? A time, sir?
16
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:09,360
- Timekeeper, time, please, Rhino?
- Please, sir, how long?
17
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,959
Well done, Roach, knew you would,
second time round.
18
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,439
Sir, how long?
19
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,919
Now then, Jumbo... see that man...
20
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,599
- Seen him before?
- No, sir.
21
00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:26,879
- Anybody seen him before?
- No, sir.
22
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,359
He's not staff, not village,
so who is he - beggarman, thief?
23
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,359
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor.
24
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:39,479
Richman, Poorman, Beggarman, Thief.
25
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:43,959
Why doesn't he look this way?
Something funny about that.
26
00:02:44,359 --> 00:02:49,759
A bunch of boys burning up a car
and he doesn't give them a glance!
27
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,038
- You would, wouldn't you?
- Yes, sir.
28
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:55,479
Doesn't he like boys? Cars?
29
00:02:55,638 --> 00:03:01,558
Didn't even look at that car, best Britain
ever made and years out of production!
30
00:03:06,039 --> 00:03:09,959
Right. Gather round. Come on!
31
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:18,239
Anybody sees him again, let me know,
or any other sinister bodies.
32
00:03:18,398 --> 00:03:20,719
Yes, sir.
33
00:03:20,878 --> 00:03:25,198
Don't want juju men wandering around,
pretending they don't know we exist.
34
00:03:26,199 --> 00:03:31,638
- First glimpse, tell me?
- Yes, sir.
35
00:03:33,158 --> 00:03:37,518
Jumbo, I don't hold with odd bods
wandering around a school.
36
00:03:37,678 --> 00:03:40,678
Last place I was at,
a gang cleared the place out.
37
00:03:40,838 --> 00:03:44,838
House cups, money, boys' watches,
nothing's sacred to them.
38
00:03:44,997 --> 00:03:48,478
We don't want them swiping the Alvis.
39
00:03:48,638 --> 00:03:52,678
It's irreplaceable, thanks to socialism.
40
00:03:54,038 --> 00:03:56,957
- Colour of hair, Jumbo?
- Sort of light, sir.
41
00:03:57,118 --> 00:03:59,118
- Height?
- About the same as you, sir.
42
00:03:59,277 --> 00:04:03,318
- Age?
- Well... hard to say, sir.
43
00:04:04,637 --> 00:04:09,198
Of course, at that distance.
You'd know him again, I'm sure.
44
00:04:09,358 --> 00:04:14,878
Best watcher in the unit, Jumbo Roach.
If he keeps his specs clean.
45
00:07:51,475 --> 00:07:54,195
Aa-ah. Ow!
46
00:07:54,755 --> 00:07:56,594
Please, sir!
47
00:07:58,595 --> 00:08:02,834
- Oh, it's you, Jumbo.
- I've hurt my leg, sir.
48
00:08:02,995 --> 00:08:05,274
Oh, dear.
49
00:08:08,354 --> 00:08:11,394
Can you get up? Slowly.
50
00:08:12,514 --> 00:08:14,314
Slowly.
51
00:08:20,714 --> 00:08:23,674
Fell off the bricks, did you, Jumbo?
52
00:08:23,834 --> 00:08:28,034
Let's have a look... nothing broken.
53
00:08:28,194 --> 00:08:32,353
Just a graze. Matron will soon put that right.
54
00:08:32,513 --> 00:08:36,834
A good excuse for getting in late,
missing Evensong.
55
00:08:36,994 --> 00:08:40,993
Tripped over in the lane,
is that what you'll tell her?
56
00:08:45,354 --> 00:08:48,993
We've a secret. I can trust you, I know that.
57
00:08:49,153 --> 00:08:52,673
We're good at keeping secrets,
loners like you and me.
58
00:08:53,714 --> 00:08:57,633
Is it because of that man? Would you shoot him?
59
00:08:57,793 --> 00:09:01,954
Are you working undercover,
like Bulldog Drummond in the book?
60
00:09:02,113 --> 00:09:07,233
Some boys wanted to call you Bulldog,
but we thought Rhino was better.
61
00:09:07,393 --> 00:09:12,753
- Bigger than a bulldog.
- Well... I used to be a soldier.
62
00:09:12,913 --> 00:09:16,153
What you saw just now, that's a souvenir.
63
00:09:17,233 --> 00:09:19,633
You know, it's like this.
64
00:09:20,393 --> 00:09:24,913
How I got it, they're both secrets,
I keep them to myself.
65
00:09:25,073 --> 00:09:28,592
- You understand, don't you, Jumbo?
- Yes, sir.
66
00:09:28,753 --> 00:09:31,752
Knew you would, knew you would.
67
00:09:32,793 --> 00:09:35,233
- Goodnight, Jumbo.
- Night-night, sir.
68
00:09:35,393 --> 00:09:37,353
Thank you, sir.
69
00:10:02,672 --> 00:10:06,672
- Well, well, long time no see.
- Hello, sir.
70
00:10:07,472 --> 00:10:10,792
- Care for it?
- Very impressive.
71
00:10:14,992 --> 00:10:18,072
Better than selling washing machines!
72
00:10:18,472 --> 00:10:22,472
It's odd putting a dinner jacket on
at ten in the morning.
73
00:10:26,152 --> 00:10:29,632
Reminds me of diplomatic cover,
come to think of it.
74
00:10:35,192 --> 00:10:38,951
Believe it or not, it's straight. Makes a change.
75
00:10:43,432 --> 00:10:46,752
- All our help is from the arithmetic.
- I'm sure it is.
76
00:10:56,271 --> 00:11:00,391
My employers might let me invest a few pennies.
77
00:11:00,552 --> 00:11:03,951
They're tough boys but very go-ahead, you know.
78
00:11:04,552 --> 00:11:06,711
Rather like we were in the old days.
79
00:11:07,071 --> 00:11:11,272
So... what can I do for you?
80
00:11:14,992 --> 00:11:18,631
I want to talk to you
about the night Jim Prideaux was shot.
81
00:11:18,791 --> 00:11:22,991
The night of Operation Testify,
which is what it was called.
82
00:11:23,151 --> 00:11:27,151
- Writing your memoirs, George?
- We're re-opening the case.
83
00:11:27,311 --> 00:11:29,911
Who's this "we", old boy?
84
00:11:30,071 --> 00:11:32,711
Lacon called me in, with the Minister's blessing.
85
00:11:32,871 --> 00:11:36,151
I can give you a number
to confirm, but I'd prefer not.
86
00:11:36,311 --> 00:11:39,431
All power corrupts, but some must govern,
87
00:11:39,591 --> 00:11:42,911
and in that case Brother Lacon
will scramble to the top.
88
00:11:43,511 --> 00:11:46,231
The record's been filleted.
89
00:11:46,710 --> 00:11:49,631
Of what is on the file,
the most useful information
90
00:11:49,791 --> 00:11:52,551
is that you were duty officer that night.
91
00:11:52,711 --> 00:11:56,511
Yes. I'd just come back from Tokyo,
a three-year stint.
92
00:11:56,671 --> 00:12:00,870
Thought I'd push off to the south
of France for a month's leave.
93
00:12:01,031 --> 00:12:04,270
Old Mendel, Control's minder,
picked me up in the passage
94
00:12:04,430 --> 00:12:06,151
and marched me to Control.
95
00:12:06,311 --> 00:12:09,910
Place felt weird, no one about
except radio and code people.
96
00:12:10,070 --> 00:12:14,750
That harridan, Molly somebody,
was monitoring, a busy little body.
97
00:12:14,911 --> 00:12:16,591
Molly Purcell.
98
00:12:16,750 --> 00:12:19,471
You were in Berlin, Bill Haydon was up-country
99
00:12:19,630 --> 00:12:21,511
and Percy Alleline in Scotland.
100
00:12:21,671 --> 00:12:25,150
Control had cleared the decks.
My God, he was a shock.
101
00:12:26,071 --> 00:12:29,590
I'd heard he wasn't his old self,
but I wasn't prepared.
102
00:12:29,751 --> 00:12:34,750
It was like opening a coffin lid.
He didn't waste time on pleasantries.
103
00:12:34,910 --> 00:12:38,870
I need somebody to man the switchboard,
got to be an old hand.
104
00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:42,790
I could bring someone
from the out-stations, but you're better.
105
00:12:42,950 --> 00:12:47,230
You've been away from the in-fighting
and vendettas around here.
106
00:12:49,110 --> 00:12:51,910
You don't know what I'm talking about, good.
107
00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:55,429
Just do exactly what I tell you.
108
00:12:57,510 --> 00:13:02,510
There could be a crisis tonight.
I've got a man doing a special job.
109
00:13:02,670 --> 00:13:05,390
It's of the utmost importance to the service.
110
00:13:05,550 --> 00:13:08,990
The service, us -
it could change everything for us.
111
00:13:13,070 --> 00:13:15,950
Your job tonight is to act as cut-out.
112
00:13:16,110 --> 00:13:20,029
Cut-out between me and whatever
goes on in the building.
113
00:13:20,190 --> 00:13:25,949
If anything comes in...
radio signal, phone call, letter, anything,
114
00:13:26,110 --> 00:13:31,630
no matter how trivial it seems,
you are to wait...
115
00:13:31,789 --> 00:13:37,069
wait till the coast is clear
then bring it to me, by hand, Sam.
116
00:13:38,229 --> 00:13:40,389
Don't use the internal phones,
117
00:13:40,549 --> 00:13:44,189
don't put anything down
on paper for future reference.
118
00:13:45,469 --> 00:13:47,629
Is that understood?
119
00:13:49,269 --> 00:13:55,149
When it's all over...
you're not to breathe a word about it.
120
00:13:55,309 --> 00:13:58,949
Never, not to anybody. Not to Smiley.
121
00:13:59,109 --> 00:14:02,508
Not to Haydon, not to Bland, nobody.
122
00:14:03,269 --> 00:14:07,429
- If I have to send out something?
- Only what I tell you.
123
00:14:18,428 --> 00:14:23,309
It could cost them the match,
which will be sewn up by Paul Mariner.
124
00:14:24,748 --> 00:14:31,868
Or by Woods... still down...
or by Muhren... or by Wark...
125
00:14:32,028 --> 00:14:35,748
and in the end by none of them. Unbelievable.
126
00:14:37,469 --> 00:14:40,668
Paul Mariner is completely flattened.
127
00:14:42,669 --> 00:14:47,588
He deserves better than that.
He's my man of the match.
128
00:14:48,108 --> 00:14:49,548
Bollocks!
129
00:15:57,107 --> 00:15:59,107
Yes. Duty officer.
130
00:16:01,987 --> 00:16:03,907
Mmm.
131
00:16:05,067 --> 00:16:08,546
Right, yes, I see.
132
00:16:09,107 --> 00:16:12,747
I'll have to call you back.
It all sounds very unlikely.
133
00:16:16,467 --> 00:16:18,947
Collins? This is urgent.
134
00:16:19,106 --> 00:16:21,586
Well, it's open.
135
00:16:21,747 --> 00:16:24,066
All hell's broken out on the Czechoslovak air.
136
00:16:24,227 --> 00:16:26,507
Half is coded but enough isn't.
137
00:16:26,666 --> 00:16:28,667
- Prague or Brno?
- Brno.
138
00:16:37,786 --> 00:16:40,907
Yes. Go back, Molly, keep listening.
139
00:17:01,706 --> 00:17:04,106
Control?
140
00:17:04,786 --> 00:17:09,746
Control, the resident clerk
from the Foreign Office came on first,
141
00:17:09,906 --> 00:17:13,826
with a story from Reuter's head man
in London. Molly picked it up too.
142
00:17:13,986 --> 00:17:17,826
Reuters and Fleet Street papers have had
another go at the Foreign Office.
143
00:17:17,986 --> 00:17:22,106
They're saying a British spy has been shot in
Brno.
144
00:17:23,466 --> 00:17:28,306
The Czechs are telling the world of an act
of provocation by a Western power.
145
00:17:29,586 --> 00:17:31,866
They haven't named the dead man yet.
146
00:17:35,105 --> 00:17:38,026
Can I have a brief, please?
147
00:17:40,865 --> 00:17:43,465
Control, I need a brief.
148
00:17:45,626 --> 00:17:48,425
We must say something.
149
00:17:49,306 --> 00:17:53,986
Do you want me to deny it,
a flat denial, to start with?
150
00:17:57,665 --> 00:17:59,985
Do you want me to get someone else in?
151
00:18:04,706 --> 00:18:08,546
Do you want to come downstairs
and handle it yourself?
152
00:18:10,705 --> 00:18:13,865
It's deniable. He had foreign documents.
153
00:18:14,025 --> 00:18:18,025
No one could know he was British yet,
there hasn't been time.
154
00:18:18,385 --> 00:18:21,025
Even if he's not dead.
155
00:18:25,505 --> 00:18:28,505
- Find Smiley.
- He's in Berlin.
156
00:18:35,345 --> 00:18:37,225
Yes.
157
00:18:41,025 --> 00:18:45,785
Well, anyone will do, it makes no difference.
158
00:18:58,264 --> 00:19:01,664
Tell Mendel to get me a taxi.
159
00:19:06,985 --> 00:19:09,305
You sent Mendel home.
160
00:19:50,223 --> 00:19:52,304
He's been named.
161
00:19:52,584 --> 00:19:55,744
Hello? Hello.
162
00:19:55,904 --> 00:19:58,583
Is that Mrs Smiley?
163
00:20:15,223 --> 00:20:18,263
You got my message, then?
164
00:20:20,063 --> 00:20:23,303
- Where did you leave it?
- I rang George Smiley's house,
165
00:20:23,463 --> 00:20:26,383
in case his wife happened
to know where you were.
166
00:20:26,544 --> 00:20:28,864
You are a friend of the family?
167
00:20:30,783 --> 00:20:36,383
I saw the ticker-tape at the club,
some God-awful shooting party.
168
00:20:36,823 --> 00:20:39,503
Tell me, Czechoslovakia, right?
169
00:20:43,063 --> 00:20:45,263
Jim Prideaux's been shot.
170
00:20:45,423 --> 00:20:49,143
The Czechs only have his work name, Ellis.
171
00:20:50,982 --> 00:20:54,103
Jim... shot dead?
172
00:20:54,262 --> 00:20:59,782
That was the first flash.
Since then the word used is simply "shot".
173
00:21:00,462 --> 00:21:03,503
The Czechs are saying that Prideaux - Ellis -
174
00:21:03,663 --> 00:21:07,503
travelling on false papers
and assisted by Czech counter-revolutionaries,
175
00:21:07,663 --> 00:21:11,663
tried to kidnap a Czech general,
unnamed, in a forest near Brno
176
00:21:11,822 --> 00:21:17,582
and smuggle him over the Austrian border.
Further arrests are imminent.
177
00:21:20,023 --> 00:21:23,303
- Go on.
- According to our military,
178
00:21:23,463 --> 00:21:26,582
there are heavy Czech tank movements
along the Austrian border.
179
00:21:26,743 --> 00:21:28,982
Lacon's been on and so has the Minister,
180
00:21:29,142 --> 00:21:31,942
wanting to know "What the hell?" and "Why?"
181
00:21:32,103 --> 00:21:37,142
I've put out emergency calls
to Smiley, Alleline, Bland.
182
00:21:40,102 --> 00:21:43,982
I'm glad to see you. I'm sorry, Bill.
183
00:21:44,902 --> 00:21:51,302
All right, Sam. Now. First thing
we do... you call this number.
184
00:21:51,462 --> 00:21:55,902
It's Toby Esterhase.
Tell him you're speaking for me.
185
00:21:56,062 --> 00:22:00,622
He's to pick up the two Czech agents
at the London School of Economics.
186
00:22:00,781 --> 00:22:02,382
Lock them up - now.
187
00:22:02,942 --> 00:22:07,022
Straight away, Sam.
Jim's worth a lot more than those two.
188
00:22:07,182 --> 00:22:09,542
But it's a start.
189
00:22:09,701 --> 00:22:12,702
I'll have a word with the chief hood
at the Czech Embassy.
190
00:22:14,622 --> 00:22:17,062
If they hurt a hair on Jim Prideaux's hair,
191
00:22:17,222 --> 00:22:20,661
I'll strip the entire Czech network
in this country bare.
192
00:22:20,821 --> 00:22:24,062
You can pass that on to his masters.
193
00:22:25,261 --> 00:22:28,541
I'll make him the laughing stock of the profession.
194
00:22:43,581 --> 00:22:46,181
I'm bound to say, Haydon was a treat to watch.
195
00:22:47,381 --> 00:22:51,181
I used to think of him
as a pretty erratic sort of devil.
196
00:22:51,941 --> 00:22:54,101
Not that night, believe me.
197
00:22:54,261 --> 00:22:58,101
He virtually dictated a press statement
for the Foreign Office to put out.
198
00:22:58,261 --> 00:23:01,661
There it was the following morning
in the Sunday papers.
199
00:23:01,820 --> 00:23:06,900
"Prague radio sensation"
dismissed with dignified scorn.
200
00:23:09,021 --> 00:23:12,301
It was good light reading
over breakfast at the Savoy.
201
00:23:12,461 --> 00:23:16,181
- Then you went to the south of France.
- Two lovely months.
202
00:23:16,421 --> 00:23:20,900
- Did anyone question you again?
- Percy Alleline.
203
00:23:21,620 --> 00:23:24,180
He was acting Chief by then,
204
00:23:24,340 --> 00:23:26,700
you were out and Control was in hospital.
205
00:23:26,861 --> 00:23:31,261
He wanted to know why I was
duty officer on the fateful night.
206
00:23:31,421 --> 00:23:34,100
That chap Masterman was down for it.
207
00:23:34,260 --> 00:23:37,500
I told him I'd nowhere to kip
and a quiet weekend at the Circus
208
00:23:37,660 --> 00:23:40,380
would save me money for France.
209
00:23:40,621 --> 00:23:44,181
- Percy said I was a liar.
- That's why they sacked you?
210
00:23:44,340 --> 00:23:45,940
- For fibbing?
- Alcoholism.
211
00:23:46,101 --> 00:23:49,700
There were five empty beer cans
in the duty officer's waste bin.
212
00:23:49,860 --> 00:23:52,180
There's an order against booze on the premises.
213
00:23:52,340 --> 00:23:54,100
What was your offence?
214
00:23:54,260 --> 00:23:57,220
I couldn't convince them I wasn't involved.
215
00:23:57,380 --> 00:24:00,140
If you want anyone's throat cut, give me a buzz.
216
00:24:01,100 --> 00:24:05,580
Sam, listen, it was too late for Haydon's club
217
00:24:05,740 --> 00:24:07,780
to be running ticker-tape, wasn't it?
218
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:12,620
He was making love to Ann that night.
You guessed and were right.
219
00:24:12,780 --> 00:24:16,540
You phoned her, she told you he wasn't there,
220
00:24:16,699 --> 00:24:19,579
and as soon as you rung off
she pushed him out of bed,
221
00:24:20,860 --> 00:24:26,020
and Bill turned up an hour later,
knowing about Czecho.
222
00:24:28,180 --> 00:24:32,379
But you didn't tell Ann about Czecho.
223
00:24:37,059 --> 00:24:39,499
I'll find my own way down.
224
00:24:40,499 --> 00:24:42,499
Mind how you go, George.
225
00:25:54,899 --> 00:25:57,058
- Smiley.
- Jim.
226
00:25:58,179 --> 00:26:03,498
If you're not on your own,
I swear I'll break your neck.
227
00:26:03,658 --> 00:26:05,658
Quite alone, Jim.
228
00:26:36,897 --> 00:26:41,417
God damn you, George,
what the hell do you want?
229
00:26:41,577 --> 00:26:44,737
I'm sorry, Jim, but I have to know what happened.
230
00:26:44,898 --> 00:26:49,977
I'm finished, man.
Told to draw the line and I've drawn it.
231
00:26:51,617 --> 00:26:53,617
How do you like school mastering?
232
00:26:53,777 --> 00:26:57,937
You had a spell of it after the war,
was that at a prep school?
233
00:26:58,098 --> 00:27:03,178
Don't come playing cat and mouse
with me, George Smiley. Look at the file.
234
00:27:03,338 --> 00:27:07,057
Circus file? Not available
to me, Jim, I'm blackballed.
235
00:27:07,297 --> 00:27:09,337
Hard luck
236
00:27:14,417 --> 00:27:19,777
I've had access to a few papers
which Lacon borrowed for me.
237
00:27:20,897 --> 00:27:22,417
Pretty old stuff.
238
00:27:22,577 --> 00:27:27,097
It went back to your undergraduate days
with Bill Haydon at Oxford.
239
00:27:27,897 --> 00:27:32,137
There's a letter Bill wrote
about you to his tutor, Fanshawe,
240
00:27:33,137 --> 00:27:35,097
Circus talent spotter,
241
00:27:35,257 --> 00:27:38,857
in which he named you suitable
material for British Intelligence.
242
00:27:39,016 --> 00:27:42,456
I can quote the odd line from memory.
243
00:27:43,537 --> 00:27:47,177
"He has that heavy quiet that commands.
244
00:27:47,696 --> 00:27:52,977
"He's my other half. Between us
we make one marvellous man.
245
00:27:53,137 --> 00:27:55,857
"He asks nothing better
than to be in my company,
246
00:27:56,017 --> 00:27:58,776
"or that of my wicked, divine friends.
247
00:27:58,936 --> 00:28:02,297
"I'm vastly tickled by the compliment.
248
00:28:02,457 --> 00:28:05,337
"He's virgin, about eight foot tall,
249
00:28:05,496 --> 00:28:09,216
"and built by the same firm that did Stonehenge. "
250
00:28:09,376 --> 00:28:11,416
Christ!
251
00:28:11,576 --> 00:28:14,336
Christ, man, we were children.
252
00:28:14,816 --> 00:28:16,376
Yes, of course.
253
00:28:17,736 --> 00:28:19,856
What do you want to know?
254
00:28:20,977 --> 00:28:25,576
I thought we could at least be
comfortable while we talk. It isn't far.
255
00:28:57,935 --> 00:29:02,656
I came round in a prison hospital,
barred windows, high up.
256
00:29:02,816 --> 00:29:04,816
They operated, after a fashion.
257
00:29:05,295 --> 00:29:09,415
Next time I came round,
I was in a cell with no windows at all.
258
00:29:12,335 --> 00:29:15,615
I tried to work out a campaign
to meet the interrogation,
259
00:29:15,775 --> 00:29:19,015
but I'd never be able to keep quiet,
no chance of that.
260
00:29:19,175 --> 00:29:23,656
If I was to stay sane, possibly even survive,
261
00:29:23,815 --> 00:29:28,375
there had to be dialogue, they had
to believe I'd told them all I knew.
262
00:29:29,095 --> 00:29:33,855
I decided I'd give them
my version of Operation Testify first,
263
00:29:34,015 --> 00:29:36,295
the one Control spelled out for me.
264
00:29:36,455 --> 00:29:38,655
I was head of scalphunters.
265
00:29:38,815 --> 00:29:41,774
I mounted my own campaign
without the knowledge of my superiors
266
00:29:41,935 --> 00:29:44,335
because I wanted to prove I was worth promotion.
267
00:29:44,735 --> 00:29:46,895
If I could believe that,
268
00:29:47,055 --> 00:29:51,135
I could bury all thoughts
of a traitor inside the Circus.
269
00:29:51,934 --> 00:29:56,855
No mole. No meeting with Control.
No Tinker, Tailor.
270
00:29:57,014 --> 00:30:01,495
I was there to turn General Stevcek
and just that.
271
00:30:03,655 --> 00:30:06,535
Then I thought I could throw them the names
272
00:30:06,695 --> 00:30:10,734
of one or two other Soviet and satellite
visuals who'd turned recently.
273
00:30:11,255 --> 00:30:15,174
Even give them the rundown
of my entire Brixton stable, anything.
274
00:30:15,335 --> 00:30:20,054
So long as I forgot the mole and Tinker, Tailor.
275
00:30:20,214 --> 00:30:23,134
I kept to myself our Czech networks.
276
00:30:24,774 --> 00:30:27,174
You know I recruited the founder members?
277
00:30:28,094 --> 00:30:31,174
- A fine piece of work.
- That's the joke.
278
00:30:31,334 --> 00:30:35,374
They couldn't care less about the networks,
knew it all. Rolled them up.
279
00:30:35,535 --> 00:30:39,054
They knew damn well that Testify
wasn't my private brainchild.
280
00:30:40,574 --> 00:30:46,694
I began exactly where I wanted to end,
at the briefing in St James's.
281
00:30:46,854 --> 00:30:50,934
All they wanted to talk about
was Control's rotten apple theory:
282
00:30:51,094 --> 00:30:53,734
Tinker, Tailor and the Circus spy.
283
00:30:54,694 --> 00:30:57,213
Did they know the address of the St James's flat?
284
00:30:57,374 --> 00:31:00,054
Yes, they even knew the brand of the sherry.
285
00:31:02,374 --> 00:31:08,733
What about Control's charts on Stevcek's
career, did they know about those?
286
00:31:10,174 --> 00:31:13,894
No. Not at first.
287
00:31:20,293 --> 00:31:24,174
Tell me about the networks. Did anyone get out?
288
00:31:24,334 --> 00:31:26,333
No.
289
00:31:27,413 --> 00:31:29,653
It seems they were shot.
290
00:31:29,814 --> 00:31:33,213
The story is you blew them to save your own skin.
291
00:31:33,373 --> 00:31:35,813
I know that isn't true, of course.
292
00:32:04,413 --> 00:32:07,572
For Christ's sakes, let's go
somewhere we can breathe.
293
00:32:34,532 --> 00:32:40,772
They moved me about a lot,
different rooms, different prisons.
294
00:32:41,332 --> 00:32:46,172
Depending on who was interrogating
and what methods they used.
295
00:32:47,412 --> 00:32:49,372
There was quite a lot of muscle.
296
00:32:50,852 --> 00:32:52,772
Electrical, most of it.
297
00:32:56,932 --> 00:33:02,892
Yes, movement... cars, lorries, corridors, cells.
298
00:33:04,092 --> 00:33:08,452
Once a plane. I was hooded
and passed out after take-off.
299
00:33:08,611 --> 00:33:11,491
Punished for that, huh.
300
00:33:13,652 --> 00:33:17,411
I think I was in Russia part of the time.
301
00:33:19,292 --> 00:33:23,252
Would you like
to stretch your legs? It might help.
302
00:33:45,651 --> 00:33:48,171
They went straight to the heart of it.
303
00:33:49,052 --> 00:33:53,091
Why did Control go it alone?
What did he hope to achieve?
304
00:33:53,251 --> 00:33:57,131
His comeback, I said. That got a laugh!
305
00:33:57,292 --> 00:34:00,771
With tinpot information
about Czecho military emplacements?
306
00:34:00,931 --> 00:34:03,211
Wouldn't get him a meal at his club.
307
00:34:03,371 --> 00:34:09,451
So I said maybe poor old Control
was losing his grip.
308
00:34:09,611 --> 00:34:14,651
That bored them.
Back to the cooler, punished again.
309
00:34:32,651 --> 00:34:36,051
You know, I-I hoped I'd go mad.
310
00:34:36,891 --> 00:34:42,931
Oh, no. They knew how to stop that.
They left me alone for a couple of days.
311
00:34:43,250 --> 00:34:46,371
Got me ready for the long one.
312
00:34:47,891 --> 00:34:51,571
That was when I ga... ga... gave...
313
00:34:52,730 --> 00:34:56,290
g... gave them what they wanted.
314
00:34:56,450 --> 00:34:59,450
It's a matter of health as much as anything.
315
00:34:59,610 --> 00:35:02,610
You don't break exactly, just run out of stories.
316
00:35:03,811 --> 00:35:09,450
Only the things locked away deep down
were what was coming into my brain.
317
00:35:10,250 --> 00:35:14,970
That was when I told them
about Control's charts on Stevcek.
318
00:35:15,130 --> 00:35:17,970
Also Control's rotten apple theory?
319
00:35:18,130 --> 00:35:22,610
Yes, the mole, codenames
we worked out for Control's suspects.
320
00:35:22,770 --> 00:35:26,130
Tinker - Percy Alleline,
Tailor - Bill Haydon,
321
00:35:26,290 --> 00:35:32,089
Soldier - Roy Bland,
Poorman - Toby Esterhase,
322
00:35:32,250 --> 00:35:36,330
- Beggarman - George Smiley.
- What was the reaction?
323
00:35:36,489 --> 00:35:40,370
He thought for a bit
then he offered me a cigarette.
324
00:35:40,530 --> 00:35:44,130
- Who did?
- What?
325
00:35:45,529 --> 00:35:52,090
Oh, sorry, by this stage there was
some frosty bearded fellow left.
326
00:35:52,809 --> 00:35:55,090
He seemed to be head boy.
327
00:35:55,250 --> 00:35:59,409
Just him and a couple of guards
standing back while he made his kill.
328
00:36:00,609 --> 00:36:03,610
- I hated that damn cigarette.
- Why?
329
00:36:03,769 --> 00:36:08,209
It was a foul American thing, Camel.
I remember the packet.
330
00:36:08,369 --> 00:36:11,209
- Did he smoke them?
- Never stopped.
331
00:36:12,289 --> 00:36:16,489
- Was that the end of it?
- More or less, yes.
332
00:36:16,650 --> 00:36:19,289
I have to know everything, Jim.
333
00:36:20,329 --> 00:36:24,249
The rest was just gossip.
He wanted to know Circus tittle-tattle,
334
00:36:24,409 --> 00:36:26,769
who's going up, who's going down, a lot of tripe.
335
00:36:26,929 --> 00:36:31,009
- About what? Who?
- Bland, how much he drank.
336
00:36:31,169 --> 00:36:35,409
Esterhase, how can anybody
trust a man dressed like that?
337
00:36:35,569 --> 00:36:37,889
A lot of tripe.
338
00:36:38,529 --> 00:36:42,209
What did he say about me?
339
00:36:42,529 --> 00:36:45,208
He showed me his cigarette lighter,
said it was yours.
340
00:36:46,129 --> 00:36:50,168
A present from Ann - "All my love" -
her signature engraved.
341
00:36:51,609 --> 00:36:55,609
- Did he say how he came by it?
- A confrontation years ago.
342
00:36:55,768 --> 00:36:58,368
- Said you'd remember.
- Anything else?
343
00:36:59,088 --> 00:37:05,288
Come on, I'll not buckle just because
a Russian hood's made a joke about me.
344
00:37:06,328 --> 00:37:12,008
He reckoned after Haydon's fling with her,
she may care to redraft the inscription.
345
00:37:13,168 --> 00:37:16,208
I told him to his face he could go to bloody hell.
346
00:37:16,368 --> 00:37:19,968
You can't judge Bill by things like that.
He's got different standards.
347
00:37:20,888 --> 00:37:25,768
- He was never one for regulations.
- You weren't one to see him straight.
348
00:37:29,728 --> 00:37:32,648
That's it, everything.
349
00:38:00,807 --> 00:38:04,848
Bill made a huge fuss about your repatriation.
350
00:38:05,008 --> 00:38:09,167
He said any price was fair
to get one loyal Englishman home.
351
00:38:09,847 --> 00:38:14,287
I remember his verdict
on Control's handling of Testify.
352
00:38:14,448 --> 00:38:17,048
"The most incompetent operation ever launched
353
00:38:17,208 --> 00:38:22,847
"by an old man for his dying glory,
and Jim Prideaux paid the cost of it. "
354
00:38:23,007 --> 00:38:25,047
Proud of your memory, aren't you?
355
00:38:25,207 --> 00:38:28,447
- Did you see Bill when you got back?
- No.
356
00:38:30,367 --> 00:38:35,407
- Your oldest closest friend?
- I was in quarantine.
357
00:38:35,567 --> 00:38:39,407
Well, yes, but... never mind.
358
00:38:39,567 --> 00:38:44,327
Let's go over your debriefing
at Sarratt to wrap it up.
359
00:38:44,487 --> 00:38:47,847
Were the inquisitors sympathetic or not?
360
00:38:48,007 --> 00:38:51,407
Never appeared, no questions at all.
361
00:38:51,567 --> 00:38:54,367
I was in limbo. Ate a lot, drank a lot, slept a lot.
362
00:38:54,527 --> 00:38:59,047
Then Toby Esterhase turns up.
New suit, full of himself.
363
00:38:59,206 --> 00:39:03,326
Says the Circus has nearly gone under
due to Operation Testify
364
00:39:03,486 --> 00:39:05,567
and I'm currently number one leper.
365
00:39:05,727 --> 00:39:11,367
Control's out of the game and there's
a reorganisation to appease Whitehall.
366
00:39:11,527 --> 00:39:15,487
- They sent Toby?
- Yes, the little charmer
367
00:39:16,047 --> 00:39:18,927
- He told me not to worry.
- About what?
368
00:39:19,086 --> 00:39:22,446
My special brief, whatever Control had told me.
369
00:39:23,686 --> 00:39:29,166
- Did Toby spell it all out?
- Said a few people knew the real story
370
00:39:29,326 --> 00:39:31,967
and I needn't worry, it was being taken care of.
371
00:39:32,126 --> 00:39:35,686
- All the facts were known.
- Were they indeed...?
372
00:39:35,846 --> 00:39:41,686
Then he gave me 1,000 quid in cash,
to add to my gratuity.
373
00:39:41,847 --> 00:39:44,286
- Who from?
- Didn't say.
374
00:39:45,566 --> 00:39:47,606
Didn't all this strike you as a bit odd?
375
00:39:47,766 --> 00:39:52,926
No inquisition.
Toby throwing loose money around?
376
00:39:53,326 --> 00:39:56,966
Through you, the Russians have
discovered the exact reach
377
00:39:57,166 --> 00:40:01,166
of Control's suspicions
about a traitor in the Circus.
378
00:40:01,325 --> 00:40:08,166
He'd narrowed the field to five
and no one's asking you anything?
379
00:40:10,805 --> 00:40:12,846
The facts were known, man.
380
00:40:15,966 --> 00:40:21,846
Toby ordered me not to approach anyone
or to try to make my story heard.
381
00:40:22,605 --> 00:40:24,805
The Circus was back on the road.
382
00:40:24,965 --> 00:40:28,765
I could forget Tinker, Tailor,
the whole damn game, moles, everything.
383
00:40:29,846 --> 00:40:35,645
"Drop out," he said.
"You're a lucky man, Jim, forget it.
384
00:40:35,805 --> 00:40:39,485
"Eh? Forget it. "
385
00:40:41,165 --> 00:40:45,965
So Toby actually mentioned Tinker, Tailor to you?
386
00:40:48,885 --> 00:40:52,365
However did he get hold of that?
387
00:41:01,885 --> 00:41:04,685
That's what I've been doing.
388
00:41:05,925 --> 00:41:09,005
Obeying orders and forgetting.
389
00:41:46,084 --> 00:41:51,604
Lord, now lettest thou
thy servant
390
00:41:51,764 --> 00:41:56,564
Depart in peace
391
00:42:06,324 --> 00:42:12,323
According to
392
00:42:12,484 --> 00:42:16,484
Thy word
393
00:42:21,204 --> 00:42:27,604
For mine eyes have seen
394
00:42:27,764 --> 00:42:33,964
Thy salvation
395
00:42:38,644 --> 00:42:44,043
Which thou hast prepared before the face
396
00:42:44,203 --> 00:42:51,003
Of all people
397
00:42:54,803 --> 00:42:59,043
To be a light
398
00:42:59,203 --> 00:43:03,323
To lighten
399
00:43:03,483 --> 00:43:07,363
The gentiles
400
00:43:07,523 --> 00:43:12,483
And to be the glory
401
00:43:12,643 --> 00:43:16,642
Of thy people
402
00:43:16,803 --> 00:43:24,202
Israel
403
00:43:30,082 --> 00:43:34,482
Glory be to the Father
404
00:43:34,642 --> 00:43:37,843
And to the Son
405
00:43:38,003 --> 00:43:41,762
And to the Holy Ghost
406
00:43:42,762 --> 00:43:46,763
As it was in the beginning
407
00:43:46,923 --> 00:43:52,403
Is now and ever shall be
408
00:43:55,002 --> 00:44:00,002
World without end
409
00:44:00,162 --> 00:44:05,162
? Amen ?
410
00:44:05,212 --> 00:44:09,762
