Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,317
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
2
00:00:56,318 --> 00:00:59,216
The most propitious time
for public statements.
3
00:00:59,383 --> 00:01:02,095
No, I haven't fallen
prey to astrologers.
4
00:01:02,260 --> 00:01:06,433
A four o'clock announcement
catches the evening television news
5
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,521
and first editions of the newspapers.
6
00:01:09,687 --> 00:01:11,982
Well, here we go.
7
00:01:12,148 --> 00:01:13,859
Afternoon, Tim. Ahem!
8
00:01:15,318 --> 00:01:18,448
Gentlemen, ladies, please sit down.
9
00:01:18,615 --> 00:01:21,202
Come and sit down, Tim.
10
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,144
Some of you know that it is with quite
11
00:01:26,145 --> 00:01:29,587
a little reluctance
that I find myself here.
12
00:01:29,754 --> 00:01:33,551
I am more used to serving
behind the scenes.
13
00:01:33,717 --> 00:01:38,223
But since so many have pledged
their support for me,
14
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:40,643
I would be very arrogant to spurn them.
15
00:01:41,686 --> 00:01:44,105
So... I accept nomination
16
00:01:44,106 --> 00:01:46,942
for the leadership of
the Conservative Party.
17
00:01:47,108 --> 00:01:51,198
I have a great belief
in the people of this country.
18
00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:57,038
I think they know
the kind of government they want.
19
00:01:57,205 --> 00:02:00,647
A government that's firm and fair.
20
00:02:00,648 --> 00:02:05,132
A government that is
not afraid to govern.
21
00:02:05,297 --> 00:02:10,305
I would like to see a bit less ideology
and a bit more common sense.
22
00:02:10,470 --> 00:02:13,391
A bit more common humanity
23
00:02:13,392 --> 00:02:16,312
in our conduct of
affairs here and abroad.
24
00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:18,356
Daddy!
25
00:02:20,234 --> 00:02:23,696
As you were. Any comments, Tim?
26
00:02:23,863 --> 00:02:27,910
- Fine. Committed yourself to nothing.
- Quite.
27
00:02:28,077 --> 00:02:31,039
Still, we'll need more than speeches.
28
00:02:31,206 --> 00:02:34,668
Yes. First ballot.
Who are we up against?
29
00:02:34,835 --> 00:02:37,672
McKenzie, Earle, Woolton, Samuels.
30
00:02:37,839 --> 00:02:43,721
And three no-hopers:
Bairsted, Llewellyn-Jones-Rhys and Bogg.
31
00:02:43,887 --> 00:02:46,807
Right. McKenzie, Health.
32
00:02:46,808 --> 00:02:49,729
No chance of getting him
into a demo at a hospital?
33
00:02:49,896 --> 00:02:52,920
Doesn't go to hospitals.
34
00:02:52,921 --> 00:02:56,362
Got beaten up by nurses.
Has trouble getting insured.
35
00:02:56,528 --> 00:03:02,161
- Where does he have his photo taken?
- Cybertech. They make wheelchairs.
36
00:03:02,328 --> 00:03:05,248
A photo opportunity with wheelchairs.
37
00:03:05,457 --> 00:03:07,960
That sounds promising.
38
00:03:12,005 --> 00:03:14,927
- Nearly there, Minister.
- Right.
39
00:03:15,094 --> 00:03:17,931
You'll meet Mr. Fairchild,
the managing director,
40
00:03:18,245 --> 00:03:20,350
and Dr Sinita Brahmachari,
41
00:03:20,558 --> 00:03:25,607
- the engineer who designed the chair.
- Indian, is he?
42
00:03:25,773 --> 00:03:30,530
SHE is a British citizen, Minister.
Born in Coventry.
43
00:03:30,696 --> 00:03:35,411
- The chair's won what?
- Brussells Gold Medal, Helsinki Award.
44
00:03:35,618 --> 00:03:40,542
It's been adopted as standard in Sweden,
Holland, Norway and West Germany.
45
00:03:40,708 --> 00:03:43,254
- Not here?
- Too expensive for us.
46
00:03:43,461 --> 00:03:46,174
Right. Dr Brahmachari, yes?
47
00:03:46,383 --> 00:03:49,512
Yes, Mr. McKenzie. Here we are.
48
00:03:54,934 --> 00:03:57,667
What the hell's going on?
49
00:03:57,668 --> 00:04:00,817
Who let these people in? I'm
not having this. Drive on.
50
00:04:01,025 --> 00:04:03,487
Drive on to the next place.
51
00:04:03,695 --> 00:04:06,867
- I can't move.
- Get me out of here.
52
00:04:07,075 --> 00:04:09,891
It's all right, sir. They can't get in.
53
00:04:09,892 --> 00:04:12,707
Do as I damn well say. Back out.
54
00:04:12,874 --> 00:04:16,754
- I wouldn't advise it.
- Do it. Do it!
55
00:04:25,473 --> 00:04:27,559
He's dead.
56
00:04:30,146 --> 00:04:34,109
''Health Minister maims cripple
in hit-and-run.''
57
00:04:34,276 --> 00:04:37,196
Poor man must have panicked. Next?
58
00:04:37,363 --> 00:04:40,492
- Harold Earle.
- Got anything on him?
59
00:04:40,658 --> 00:04:44,622
There was a whiff of scandal
about ten years ago.
60
00:04:45,414 --> 00:04:48,543
Rent boy. In a train. To Red Hill.
61
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:53,508
Yes. Wanted to sell his story
but we bought it and hushed him up.
62
00:04:53,674 --> 00:04:56,387
Be ungentlemanly to bring that up.
63
00:04:56,553 --> 00:04:59,891
A man's private life should be private.
64
00:05:00,057 --> 00:05:04,230
On the other hand,
getting sucked off in second class
65
00:05:04,397 --> 00:05:06,900
is hardly Prime Ministerial behaviour.
66
00:05:07,067 --> 00:05:12,699
- Yes, you have a point there.
- I think we have something in the file.
67
00:05:47,950 --> 00:05:50,454
''Personal and family reasons.''
68
00:05:50,620 --> 00:05:52,707
Shame.
69
00:05:52,874 --> 00:05:55,585
His mother's in very poor health,
I hear.
70
00:05:55,751 --> 00:06:01,176
- Woolton and Samuels?
- Samuels is clean. Never a foot wrong.
71
00:06:01,343 --> 00:06:04,033
A lot of funny stories
about Pat Woolton,
72
00:06:04,243 --> 00:06:06,307
but nothing we can really use.
73
00:06:06,474 --> 00:06:08,977
I've a lot of time for Patrick Woolton.
74
00:06:09,144 --> 00:06:13,149
McKenzie was a fool and Earle was
a security risk. They had to be stopped.
75
00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:18,697
If Samuels or Woolton emerges
as a clear leader, I'll stand down.
76
00:06:18,863 --> 00:06:21,868
There's more to politics than ambition.
77
00:06:22,077 --> 00:06:24,684
It's a feature article.
Well, two, really.
78
00:06:24,894 --> 00:06:26,874
But you figure in both.
79
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,004
''Independent'' magazine want
''Downfall of a Prime Minister''.
80
00:06:31,171 --> 00:06:34,154
I sold the ''Sunday Express''
colour mag an idea about...
81
00:06:34,155 --> 00:06:36,511
It sounds a bit crude...
82
00:06:36,678 --> 00:06:39,265
MPs with sex appeal.
83
00:06:39,432 --> 00:06:42,769
Is that too coarse
and frivolous for you?
84
00:06:42,936 --> 00:06:45,439
Well, I don't know...
85
00:06:45,606 --> 00:06:50,821
You've made your mark. Your question
in the House started a landslide.
86
00:06:50,988 --> 00:06:53,699
Clever as well as charismatic.
87
00:06:53,866 --> 00:06:56,912
The idea is,
there are certain politicians
88
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,292
who have that edge
of authority and style,
89
00:07:01,458 --> 00:07:05,631
know how to seize the moment
as it passes.
90
00:07:05,797 --> 00:07:08,301
You certainly managed that.
91
00:07:08,468 --> 00:07:12,348
- Just luck, I guess.
- It was more than that.
92
00:07:12,555 --> 00:07:15,185
Good contacts, for one thing.
93
00:07:17,062 --> 00:07:20,942
Who tipped you off
about the health service?
94
00:07:21,109 --> 00:07:23,945
You know I couldn't tell you that.
95
00:07:24,112 --> 00:07:28,618
No, of course you couldn't.
But you could help me guess.
96
00:07:28,784 --> 00:07:34,417
It had to be someone from in the cabinet
or someone in Smith Square, yes?
97
00:07:35,542 --> 00:07:39,715
You've got lots of friends,
but none in the Tory cabinet.
98
00:07:39,882 --> 00:07:44,471
But you used to work in PR
for Glick and Featherstone.
99
00:07:44,638 --> 00:07:49,018
And so did one or two people
in the party publicity office.
100
00:07:49,185 --> 00:07:52,189
I think it's time to change the subject.
101
00:07:52,398 --> 00:07:54,525
Yes, of course.
102
00:07:54,733 --> 00:07:57,863
You tell Roger
his secret is safe with me.
103
00:08:04,496 --> 00:08:07,416
My Urquhart! Have you a second?
104
00:08:07,583 --> 00:08:11,546
- Barely. Busy day for me.
- Yes. First ballot tonight.
105
00:08:11,713 --> 00:08:16,010
- I wanted to wish you luck...
- Carry on. I'll catch you up.
106
00:08:16,176 --> 00:08:18,658
Bad time, Mattie.
107
00:08:18,659 --> 00:08:21,142
I have to see you. It
isn't just personal.
108
00:08:21,349 --> 00:08:23,979
Mrs. Urquhart is going to the country.
109
00:08:24,187 --> 00:08:27,316
Come late, after midnight, in a taxi.
110
00:08:27,524 --> 00:08:30,006
If there's a light
over the door, drive on.
111
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,489
No, that's all. No further statement.
112
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,926
The result of the first ballot
is as follows.
113
00:08:49,092 --> 00:08:53,265
Mr. Peter Bairsted, seven votes.
114
00:08:54,808 --> 00:08:58,438
Mr. George Bogg, one vote.
115
00:09:01,483 --> 00:09:07,199
The Right Honourable
Melvyn Llewellyn-Jones-Rhys, 13 votes.
116
00:09:08,576 --> 00:09:13,248
Right Honourable Michael Samuels,
99 votes.
117
00:09:14,082 --> 00:09:18,463
Right Honourable Francis Urquhart,
91 votes.
118
00:09:19,338 --> 00:09:23,928
And the Right Honourable
Patrick Woolton, 91 votes.
119
00:09:26,390 --> 00:09:30,562
No clear winner having emerged,
120
00:09:30,769 --> 00:09:36,569
we move to the second ballot
one week from today.
121
00:09:39,823 --> 00:09:42,535
Come on, come on! please, God.
122
00:09:45,245 --> 00:09:47,666
Francis, we're in trouble.
123
00:10:11,112 --> 00:10:14,324
I'm not at all pleased with you, Mattie.
124
00:10:14,532 --> 00:10:17,996
Why? What have I done? Don't frown.
125
00:10:18,161 --> 00:10:20,519
I think you know what you've done.
126
00:10:20,833 --> 00:10:23,294
Talked to Kendrick?
And he told O'Neill.
127
00:10:23,503 --> 00:10:27,674
Making my task difficult.
I'd hoped to take him by surprise.
128
00:10:27,841 --> 00:10:32,013
- I'm sorry.
- You promised to leave it to me.
129
00:10:32,179 --> 00:10:34,578
You broke your promise.
130
00:10:34,787 --> 00:10:37,395
Sorry. It was stupid of me.
I see that.
131
00:10:38,437 --> 00:10:41,442
It's not a disaster.
132
00:10:41,607 --> 00:10:44,736
It simply means I'll need
longer to win his confidence.
133
00:10:45,050 --> 00:10:47,032
That's not important.
134
00:10:47,199 --> 00:10:51,788
- I feel so stupid.
- You mustn't put yourself in danger.
135
00:10:51,954 --> 00:10:56,043
Roger isn't a dangerous man,
but his master is.
136
00:10:56,251 --> 00:11:00,382
Who is it? You know, don't you?
137
00:11:00,590 --> 00:11:04,241
At the moment, we have
only a shred of evidence,
138
00:11:04,555 --> 00:11:07,265
but you might hazard a guess.
139
00:11:07,432 --> 00:11:11,896
Billsborough.
Lord Billsborough plotting with Samuels.
140
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:16,902
You might very well think that, Mattie.
You might very well think that.
141
00:11:17,068 --> 00:11:22,701
But you mustn't take any more risks.
You mustn't place yourself in jeopardy.
142
00:11:22,867 --> 00:11:25,371
Will you promise me that?
143
00:11:25,537 --> 00:11:28,667
Yes. Yes. I promise.
144
00:11:30,543 --> 00:11:32,213
Good.
145
00:11:40,973 --> 00:11:46,606
Playing with the hopes and dreams
of a daughter. Now gentle, now hard.
146
00:11:46,772 --> 00:11:49,276
Rebuking and rewarding.
147
00:11:49,442 --> 00:11:52,029
Chastising and forgiving.
148
00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:55,534
The pleasures of a father.
149
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:58,204
Of a father of daughters.
150
00:11:58,370 --> 00:12:01,708
What greater power is there than that?
151
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:05,213
Why should a man want more?
152
00:12:05,379 --> 00:12:09,885
Why should I yearn
to be everybody's daddy?
153
00:12:17,060 --> 00:12:22,067
A nice review. The Landless empire
have gone for you in a cautious way.
154
00:12:22,233 --> 00:12:25,071
Despite you not backing his takeover.
155
00:12:25,238 --> 00:12:29,409
The ''Guardian'' is still for Samuels.
They would be.
156
00:12:29,575 --> 00:12:32,413
The ''Sun'' finds Woolton
most congenial.
157
00:12:32,579 --> 00:12:36,460
So do a lot
of our parliamentary colleagues.
158
00:12:36,627 --> 00:12:38,817
Thinking of a get-together?
159
00:12:39,027 --> 00:12:41,633
Woolton and Urquhart
in an anti-Samuels pact?
160
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,866
Not yet, Tim. Besides, I think
we should leave it to Patrick
161
00:12:45,076 --> 00:12:47,307
to make the first move.
162
00:12:47,515 --> 00:12:50,644
- Good morning.
- Good morning, sir.
163
00:12:56,525 --> 00:13:00,907
Sorry, but they know about
the address in Praed Street.
164
00:13:01,116 --> 00:13:03,702
They've guessed about Kendrick.
165
00:13:03,869 --> 00:13:08,458
Francis, help me. I can't take
much more. It's not my line of...
166
00:13:08,624 --> 00:13:12,171
What are you doing? Listen to me.
167
00:13:12,338 --> 00:13:14,528
I'm not going to be a gentleman.
168
00:13:14,842 --> 00:13:17,344
If I go down, I'm going
to spill the lot...
169
00:13:17,511 --> 00:13:21,891
No one's going down!
No one's going to spill anything!
170
00:13:22,058 --> 00:13:26,856
You're going to come out of this
with a knighthood. A knighthood.
171
00:13:27,065 --> 00:13:31,904
No one has a shred of proof against you,
whatever they think they know.
172
00:13:32,071 --> 00:13:35,450
No one will print that girl's fantasies.
173
00:13:35,659 --> 00:13:39,205
She's a hysterical,
trouble-making bimbo.
174
00:13:39,372 --> 00:13:42,292
Nothing to worry about, Roger.
All right?
175
00:13:43,585 --> 00:13:46,005
Oh, God, Francis.
176
00:13:46,881 --> 00:13:49,301
I'm not a well man.
177
00:13:49,466 --> 00:13:52,388
I'm not up to this.
178
00:13:52,554 --> 00:13:54,557
Listen.
179
00:13:54,723 --> 00:13:58,687
Go home.
Let your girl look after the office.
180
00:13:58,853 --> 00:14:02,651
Go down to the coast
for a couple of days.
181
00:14:02,858 --> 00:14:05,362
Then come to my country place.
182
00:14:05,529 --> 00:14:10,535
We'll have a few jars, walk the dogs
and sew the whole thing up.
183
00:14:10,702 --> 00:14:15,416
I guarantee that, come Sunday,
you'll have nothing to worry about.
184
00:14:15,582 --> 00:14:18,712
And that's a promise, Roger. All right?
185
00:14:18,878 --> 00:14:21,174
All right, Francis.
186
00:14:22,091 --> 00:14:24,511
You're a good friend.
187
00:14:28,140 --> 00:14:30,018
Thank you.
188
00:14:49,082 --> 00:14:52,212
- Bad news?
- I'm afraid so.
189
00:14:52,379 --> 00:14:56,342
We shall have a guest.
Not your favourite person.
190
00:14:56,509 --> 00:14:59,430
Roger O'Neill, I presume.
191
00:14:59,595 --> 00:15:02,167
He's cracking up.
192
00:15:02,204 --> 00:15:05,437
Someone's been indiscreet
and the press are onto him.
193
00:15:05,603 --> 00:15:10,402
It seems his young woman
has been talking to my young woman.
194
00:15:10,569 --> 00:15:14,365
- You said you had her under control.
- I have.
195
00:15:14,574 --> 00:15:19,997
Nothing connects me with O'Neill.
No one knows he's coming to see me.
196
00:15:20,163 --> 00:15:23,293
He's become a bit of a pest, hasn't he?
197
00:15:24,585 --> 00:15:28,966
- After this weekend, no worries.
- What happens this weekend?
198
00:15:29,133 --> 00:15:34,140
- I can't tell you.
- You've someone else to shack up with?
199
00:15:34,306 --> 00:15:38,270
No! It's business, Penny. Business.
200
00:15:38,437 --> 00:15:41,565
This weekend, we were going away.
201
00:15:41,732 --> 00:15:44,027
Oh, God!
202
00:15:45,277 --> 00:15:50,493
- Ah, Penny, what can I say?
- Nothing. I don't care. You're no fun.
203
00:15:50,659 --> 00:15:53,788
You used to be a lovely
man. Now you lie around,
204
00:15:53,998 --> 00:15:56,501
do drugs and piss your pants.
205
00:15:56,667 --> 00:15:59,379
I was born for better things. Cheers.
206
00:15:59,546 --> 00:16:04,386
- Penny, where are you going?
- Back to the old flat, bollock-head!
207
00:16:04,594 --> 00:16:07,681
Ring me and I will talk to you.
208
00:16:07,891 --> 00:16:11,186
If you want to see me again,
get your head straight.
209
00:16:11,393 --> 00:16:14,398
Penny, listen... Please!
210
00:16:14,564 --> 00:16:16,442
Penny!
211
00:16:18,694 --> 00:16:21,510
''Those who wish to air
their social consciences
212
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,701
will support Samuels.
213
00:16:23,867 --> 00:16:28,457
''Those whose politics are
of the free-market, buccaneering style
214
00:16:28,624 --> 00:16:31,753
''need to look no further than Woolton.
215
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,590
''Those who can't make up their minds
216
00:16:34,591 --> 00:16:37,260
will have an obvious
choice in Urquhart.''
217
00:16:37,426 --> 00:16:40,138
The ''Guardian''? Not very charming.
218
00:16:40,346 --> 00:16:45,020
No, but I come out least worst.
They say I stand for something.
219
00:16:45,186 --> 00:16:47,794
No Tory MP wants to
tell the local sharks
220
00:16:48,108 --> 00:16:50,401
he voted with his social conscience.
221
00:16:50,568 --> 00:16:54,740
Or that he went for a nonentity.
Francis Urquhart Who's he?
222
00:16:54,906 --> 00:16:59,079
''No, I went for Pat Woolton.
His heart's in the right place.''
223
00:16:59,245 --> 00:17:02,249
That's what they say, is it?
224
00:17:02,415 --> 00:17:05,044
Stuff along those lines, yes.
225
00:17:05,253 --> 00:17:07,339
What's this?
226
00:17:07,653 --> 00:17:10,677
It's not a bomb or it would've gone off.
227
00:17:10,842 --> 00:17:13,430
''Patrick Woolton in congress.''
228
00:17:13,639 --> 00:17:15,933
Are you sure?
229
00:17:16,850 --> 00:17:20,939
- Not ''in conversation''?
- No. Nothing with it.
230
00:17:22,398 --> 00:17:25,320
Bung it on. Let's see what it is.
231
00:17:33,121 --> 00:17:35,833
Great! Ah, splendid!
232
00:17:35,999 --> 00:17:40,797
- Oh, yes!
- Hang on, hang on. Can I move my arm?
233
00:17:40,963 --> 00:17:44,928
- Ah! Yes!
- You're hurting me.
234
00:17:45,093 --> 00:17:47,806
You love it dirty! love it!
235
00:17:50,642 --> 00:17:52,729
Yes! Yes!
236
00:17:52,896 --> 00:17:55,315
Yes! Oh, yes! Yes!
237
00:17:55,481 --> 00:17:57,568
Yes! Agh!
238
00:17:57,776 --> 00:17:59,863
Yes! Ah!
239
00:18:01,198 --> 00:18:05,620
And how was that for you, then,
Penny?
240
00:18:06,621 --> 00:18:11,002
- Brilliant, thank you, Pat
- Good, Good, because...
241
00:18:12,377 --> 00:18:16,342
I gave my bloody all.
I gave my bloody all.
242
00:18:17,467 --> 00:18:19,763
Ah, Penny.
243
00:18:25,478 --> 00:18:28,273
Girl at the conference. You know.
244
00:18:29,899 --> 00:18:32,612
These things happen.
245
00:18:33,947 --> 00:18:36,617
I'm sorry, Stephanie.
246
00:18:36,784 --> 00:18:39,287
God knows how she...
247
00:18:40,329 --> 00:18:45,128
- I'd never have thought...
- I do realise these things go on.
248
00:18:45,294 --> 00:18:48,590
It's how you and I became acquainted.
249
00:18:48,756 --> 00:18:51,636
But you picked the wrong one this time.
250
00:18:51,843 --> 00:18:56,642
Find out what your little whore wants.
Buy her off. Do whatever it takes.
251
00:18:56,809 --> 00:19:01,189
- Yes, of course, Stephanie.
- Well, go on, then!
252
00:19:04,110 --> 00:19:08,949
Oh, and one more thing. Let me know
if I need an HIV test, won't you?
253
00:19:44,951 --> 00:19:48,707
- What was all that about?!
- I don't know...
254
00:19:48,915 --> 00:19:51,418
Little bitch!
255
00:19:51,584 --> 00:19:54,214
Don't you touch me again!
256
00:19:56,925 --> 00:20:00,179
Now, what are you talking about?
257
00:20:00,388 --> 00:20:05,603
A tape purporting to be of you and me
in Brighton on the job.
258
00:20:05,769 --> 00:20:08,899
My wife played it
at the breakfast table.
259
00:20:09,064 --> 00:20:12,278
It must have been you who sent it.
260
00:20:12,485 --> 00:20:16,136
I wouldn't want anyone
to know I'd been with you.
261
00:20:16,450 --> 00:20:18,744
I hate to think about it.
262
00:20:18,953 --> 00:20:21,769
I'm not a whore, I
don't blackmail people,
263
00:20:22,083 --> 00:20:23,959
I have all the money I need.
264
00:20:24,126 --> 00:20:27,922
I just wish I knew some people
I could trust.
265
00:20:28,756 --> 00:20:32,720
If not you... who?
266
00:20:36,474 --> 00:20:38,602
Hello.
267
00:20:40,645 --> 00:20:42,941
It's for you.
268
00:20:45,443 --> 00:20:48,156
- Woolton?
- Who's that?
269
00:20:48,323 --> 00:20:50,409
No one you know.
270
00:20:50,723 --> 00:20:52,912
Let's say it's a
government health warning.
271
00:20:53,078 --> 00:20:58,419
In your case, there's no such thing
as safe sex. In your case...
272
00:20:58,627 --> 00:21:03,091
the withdrawal method
is the only viable alternative.
273
00:21:03,299 --> 00:21:05,803
I'm sure you understand.
274
00:21:18,109 --> 00:21:22,073
I've a short statement to make.
275
00:21:22,239 --> 00:21:26,162
I am withdrawing
from the contest for the leadership.
276
00:21:26,369 --> 00:21:28,538
I'm a practical man.
277
00:21:28,852 --> 00:21:31,752
I believe my friendFrancis Urquhart
has a better chance of winning.
278
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,131
I'm not prepared to split the vote.
279
00:21:35,340 --> 00:21:39,303
As of now, Francis Urquhart
has my support.
280
00:21:39,470 --> 00:21:41,973
When he's Prime Minister,
281
00:21:42,287 --> 00:21:46,145
as he will be, I'll be proud
to serve in his government.
282
00:21:47,020 --> 00:21:49,441
Thank you very much.
283
00:21:50,357 --> 00:21:53,696
Why Urquhart?
I didn't know you liked him.
284
00:21:53,863 --> 00:21:57,617
I don't like him.
I can't stand the sod, in fact.
285
00:21:57,783 --> 00:22:01,956
No, it's because I don't want
the other bastard to win.
286
00:22:02,123 --> 00:22:04,584
That... er... girl.
287
00:22:05,544 --> 00:22:08,256
Belongs to a chap called O'Neill.
288
00:22:08,464 --> 00:22:11,551
O'Neill belongs to
that evil reptile Billsborough.
289
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,932
- Michael Samuels's sponsor.
- That's one way of putting it.
290
00:22:16,099 --> 00:22:18,810
Yes, old Teddy Billsborough.
291
00:22:18,977 --> 00:22:24,401
Riding on Samuels' back, arms around
his throat like the old man of the sea.
292
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:27,801
Samuels belongs to Billsborough.
293
00:22:28,010 --> 00:22:30,659
O'Neill does too.
The girl belongs to O'Neill.
294
00:22:30,866 --> 00:22:35,456
- So she belongs to Billsborough.
- What a charming world-view.
295
00:22:35,665 --> 00:22:38,669
Everybody belongs to somebody.
296
00:22:38,835 --> 00:22:41,651
I was nobbled by Billsborough
in aid of Samuels.
297
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:44,050
One day I'll bloody prove it.
298
00:22:44,217 --> 00:22:49,098
- I'm backing Urquhart as he's older.
- Old farts stick together.
299
00:22:49,265 --> 00:22:52,081
Old farts die sooner.
I'll be waiting in the wings.
300
00:22:52,291 --> 00:22:54,480
Don't you worry. I'll be back.
301
00:22:59,570 --> 00:23:03,241
I'm not pleased with you, Mattie.
I'm angry.
302
00:23:03,407 --> 00:23:06,495
Why? What have I done? Don't frown.
303
00:23:06,703 --> 00:23:09,102
I think you know what you've done.
304
00:23:09,312 --> 00:23:11,918
Talked to Kendrick?
And he told O'Neill.
305
00:23:13,586 --> 00:23:15,673
What?
306
00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:18,218
How did you know?
307
00:23:21,388 --> 00:23:25,143
- Sorry.
- You promised to leave it to me.
308
00:23:25,309 --> 00:23:27,813
You broke your promise.
309
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,164
I do understand,
between the two of us,
310
00:23:39,365 --> 00:23:42,289
that Mr. O'Neill
has a cocaine problem.
311
00:23:42,456 --> 00:23:44,125
What?
312
00:23:44,126 --> 00:23:46,420
It's one's business
to know these things.
313
00:23:49,005 --> 00:23:52,552
Mr. O'Neill has a cocaine problem.
314
00:23:52,719 --> 00:23:54,701
What?
315
00:23:54,702 --> 00:23:56,682
It's one's business
to know these things.
316
00:24:03,232 --> 00:24:06,591
He owed someone a favour.
317
00:24:06,592 --> 00:24:09,949
Believe me, Roger wouldn't hurt a fly.
318
00:24:14,287 --> 00:24:19,502
Somebody in this building,,,
It would have to be.
319
00:24:19,668 --> 00:24:25,093
They made it look as if Charles had been
subscribing since January the 1st.
320
00:24:32,768 --> 00:24:37,567
Can I say something
in absolute confidence?
321
00:24:37,734 --> 00:24:40,487
Yes. Yes, of course you can.
322
00:24:41,571 --> 00:24:45,117
I've heard hints that the tabloids
are going to mount an attack
323
00:24:45,431 --> 00:24:47,829
on the PM. A nasty one.
324
00:24:47,996 --> 00:24:50,917
They're going to use his
brother, Charles Collingridge.
325
00:24:51,126 --> 00:24:53,211
Don't you know him?
326
00:24:57,675 --> 00:25:00,387
July the 28th.
327
00:25:00,554 --> 00:25:03,057
You heard hints.
328
00:25:04,391 --> 00:25:06,811
Where from?
329
00:25:09,189 --> 00:25:10,858
No.
330
00:25:13,403 --> 00:25:15,280
No.
331
00:25:20,744 --> 00:25:23,874
You trust me, don't you, Mattie?
332
00:25:24,792 --> 00:25:27,295
You know I do.
333
00:25:30,340 --> 00:25:33,470
You trust me, don't you, Mattie?
334
00:25:34,262 --> 00:25:36,557
You know I do.
335
00:25:38,059 --> 00:25:41,229
You trust me, don't you, Mattie?
336
00:25:42,063 --> 00:25:44,442
You know I do.
337
00:25:54,578 --> 00:25:57,416
Roger! Good man.
You made it.
338
00:25:57,582 --> 00:26:00,420
Francis, you're a sight for sore eyes.
339
00:26:00,586 --> 00:26:03,090
Come on inside.
340
00:26:03,257 --> 00:26:05,885
It's a beautiful place you've got here.
341
00:26:06,095 --> 00:26:07,888
Thank you.
342
00:26:17,398 --> 00:26:20,111
- Thanks. Cheers.
- Cheers.
343
00:26:22,865 --> 00:26:25,159
- Roger...
- Yes?
344
00:26:25,326 --> 00:26:28,476
Barring accidents, we'll
be in 10 Downing Street.
345
00:26:28,685 --> 00:26:31,208
I've thought about what I'll need.
346
00:26:31,417 --> 00:26:36,423
- But we'll talk about what YOU want.
- I've been thinking about that too.
347
00:26:36,590 --> 00:26:39,510
What you need as well as what I want.
348
00:26:39,677 --> 00:26:45,309
It struck me you could very well do
with someone like me there at number 10.
349
00:26:45,475 --> 00:26:48,688
Publicity specialist.
Personal spokesman.
350
00:26:48,855 --> 00:26:51,358
No. I've got that all sewn up.
351
00:26:51,524 --> 00:26:54,340
I'd like you to stay
on in your present post
352
00:26:54,550 --> 00:26:56,531
under a new chairman.
353
00:26:57,991 --> 00:27:00,286
But that's...
354
00:27:01,036 --> 00:27:03,540
That's nothing.
355
00:27:04,583 --> 00:27:07,503
That's nothing more than I'm doing now!
356
00:27:08,212 --> 00:27:11,090
You said you were going
to take care of me.
357
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:13,553
You promised me a K., Francis.
358
00:27:13,719 --> 00:27:16,326
And you deserve it.
359
00:27:16,327 --> 00:27:20,186
But it may be difficult to deliver
a knighthood in the short term.
360
00:27:20,353 --> 00:27:25,067
Don't... Don't you bloody try
to sell me short, you old bugger!
361
00:27:25,735 --> 00:27:30,324
After all I've done for you!
Lied for you! Stolen for you!
362
00:27:30,489 --> 00:27:34,454
Oh, God! I lost the best girl
in the world for you!
363
00:27:34,661 --> 00:27:37,373
Leave me stranded in the shit,
364
00:27:37,374 --> 00:27:40,712
I'll drag you down with me till
you're blinded and drownded!
365
00:27:40,877 --> 00:27:43,276
I'm only saying it may be difficult
366
00:27:43,277 --> 00:27:46,093
to get you into the
New Year's honours list.
367
00:27:46,260 --> 00:27:48,972
There's another one in the spring.
368
00:27:49,138 --> 00:27:52,183
I must say I didn't expect
to be abused in this way.
369
00:27:52,393 --> 00:27:54,812
You don't seem awfully well.
370
00:27:55,021 --> 00:27:59,819
I hope I'm going to be able
to rely on you to be discreet.
371
00:27:59,986 --> 00:28:02,364
Oh, Francis...
372
00:28:04,199 --> 00:28:06,619
What can I say?
373
00:28:07,286 --> 00:28:09,789
There's nothing I can say.
374
00:28:10,624 --> 00:28:13,043
But I'm sorry.
375
00:28:15,295 --> 00:28:19,885
I got hold of the wrong end
of the stick entirely. I...
376
00:28:20,052 --> 00:28:24,516
I've been under a lot
of strain with this business.
377
00:28:25,475 --> 00:28:27,979
And Penny going.
378
00:28:29,230 --> 00:28:34,946
But for... for all that, and everything,
you can rely on me, Francis.
379
00:28:36,364 --> 00:28:39,764
I'll keep my mouth shut.
Honest to God.
380
00:28:40,078 --> 00:28:42,747
Yes, Roger. I believe you will.
381
00:28:44,415 --> 00:28:47,545
Come on, let's have another drink.
382
00:28:58,015 --> 00:29:00,728
She loved me, that girl, Francis.
383
00:29:02,270 --> 00:29:04,775
And I loved her.
384
00:29:08,194 --> 00:29:10,490
LOVE her.
385
00:29:11,282 --> 00:29:13,577
Love her.
386
00:29:14,912 --> 00:29:17,207
She's gone.
387
00:29:18,833 --> 00:29:21,671
She doesn't work for me anymore.
388
00:29:23,130 --> 00:29:25,968
She's gone to work for another man.
389
00:29:29,137 --> 00:29:31,975
She asked me, would I blame her?
390
00:29:33,309 --> 00:29:36,022
How can I blame her?
391
00:29:36,189 --> 00:29:41,112
The things I asked her to do
were never in her job description.
392
00:29:42,612 --> 00:29:45,741
Shouldn't be in
anybody's job description,
393
00:29:45,951 --> 00:29:48,454
except the job description of a whore.
394
00:29:52,626 --> 00:29:56,589
Sometimes I think we must
all be whores now.
395
00:29:58,884 --> 00:30:01,470
Here's to being a whore.
396
00:30:05,558 --> 00:30:07,645
Except...
397
00:30:08,687 --> 00:30:11,274
Except, she had to, really.
398
00:30:12,858 --> 00:30:15,696
It never was my turn to bite the pillow.
399
00:30:17,824 --> 00:30:20,744
She doesn't love me anymore.
400
00:30:20,911 --> 00:30:26,335
She doesn't love me anymore,
and my poor heart hurts so bad.
401
00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:28,921
It really does hurt.
402
00:30:31,966 --> 00:30:34,678
Now, isn't that a funny thing?
403
00:30:35,596 --> 00:30:38,391
And no one to blame but myself.
404
00:30:43,898 --> 00:30:48,696
I mean, who would have thought
I'd be where I am today?
405
00:30:48,863 --> 00:30:54,077
Did you dream of how your life would be,
Francis, when you were a boy?
406
00:30:55,287 --> 00:30:57,790
With a boy's heart.
407
00:30:57,956 --> 00:31:01,295
Is this what the Good lord meant for us?
408
00:31:01,462 --> 00:31:04,549
If you can look into the seeds of time
409
00:31:04,757 --> 00:31:08,721
and say which grain will grow,
and which will not.
410
00:31:11,223 --> 00:31:13,602
- What?
- Nothing.
411
00:31:17,356 --> 00:31:19,734
I like whisky.
412
00:31:21,694 --> 00:31:24,824
I sometimes wish I was an alcoholic.
413
00:31:24,990 --> 00:31:27,578
Life would be so simple.
414
00:31:28,579 --> 00:31:31,583
Getting hold of
the other stuff is tedious.
415
00:31:31,792 --> 00:31:34,169
It's a way of sodding life in itself.
416
00:31:38,007 --> 00:31:42,388
I wonder if it'll be any easier
when I'm a knight?
417
00:31:42,553 --> 00:31:46,017
Sir Roger O'Neill.
418
00:31:47,352 --> 00:31:53,193
A 50-quid deal for Sir Roger O'Neill.
And be quick about it, my good man.
419
00:31:56,572 --> 00:31:59,492
All I want is to be happy.
You know that?
420
00:32:00,451 --> 00:32:04,832
And to have my lovely black girl
in my bed again.
421
00:32:06,458 --> 00:32:08,879
Just for the cuddle.
422
00:32:10,046 --> 00:32:12,550
Just for the warmth.
423
00:32:13,968 --> 00:32:16,597
Now she's gone, I get so cold.
424
00:32:16,806 --> 00:32:19,225
Cold as stone.
425
00:32:20,142 --> 00:32:22,938
Right through to the bone.
426
00:34:05,356 --> 00:34:07,735
This is an act of mercy.
427
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,116
Truly.
428
00:34:12,283 --> 00:34:14,786
You know the man now.
429
00:34:15,745 --> 00:34:21,127
You can see he has nowhere to go.
He's begging to be set free.
430
00:34:21,795 --> 00:34:24,214
He's had enough.
431
00:34:26,175 --> 00:34:29,221
And when he's finally at rest,
432
00:34:29,428 --> 00:34:33,935
then we'll be free to remember
the real Roger.
433
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,151
The burning boy in the green jersey,
434
00:34:42,821 --> 00:34:46,283
with that legendary, fabulous sidestep,
435
00:34:47,869 --> 00:34:51,540
and the brave, terrified smile.
436
00:35:23,246 --> 00:35:25,749
An act of mercy.
437
00:35:34,092 --> 00:35:37,222
You've been asleep for hours, Roger.
438
00:35:37,388 --> 00:35:40,935
- I'm sorry...
- It's six o'clock. Listen,
439
00:35:41,102 --> 00:35:46,734
change of plan. The BBC are coming
to film some footage. I had to agree.
440
00:35:46,900 --> 00:35:49,529
Can't let them find you here.
441
00:35:49,695 --> 00:35:52,302
You'll have to get going.
442
00:35:52,303 --> 00:35:54,911
I left it as long as I dared
before disturbing you.
443
00:35:55,076 --> 00:35:58,059
Listen, go back to your
flat and stay there.
444
00:35:58,269 --> 00:36:00,626
I'll contact you in the morning.
445
00:36:00,793 --> 00:36:04,673
- Right. Look, Francis...
- Listen, don't worry.
446
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,760
Everything's going to be fine, Roger.
447
00:36:07,927 --> 00:36:10,221
Absolutely fine.
448
00:36:10,388 --> 00:36:13,100
Now, just a moment. There.
449
00:36:46,432 --> 00:36:48,519
Just...
450
00:36:49,604 --> 00:36:52,232
Just keep awake.
451
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,735
Just keep straight.
452
00:36:54,902 --> 00:36:57,030
Done it before.
453
00:36:58,572 --> 00:37:02,119
Done it all. Been everywhere.
454
00:37:03,162 --> 00:37:05,457
Seen it all.
455
00:37:10,337 --> 00:37:12,841
Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
456
00:37:13,634 --> 00:37:15,928
That's better.
457
00:37:16,888 --> 00:37:19,808
That woke me up. Fine now.
458
00:37:20,850 --> 00:37:24,814
Ah, it's a doddle.
Easy for a clever boy like me.
459
00:37:26,732 --> 00:37:29,862
Who was top in arithmetic? Hmm?
460
00:37:30,028 --> 00:37:34,284
Roger O'Neill,
and him the youngest boy in the class.
461
00:37:35,201 --> 00:37:38,852
And who was selected as fly-half
for the All-Ireland Under-14s?
462
00:37:39,478 --> 00:37:41,251
Roger O'Neill.
463
00:37:41,417 --> 00:37:43,921
The laughing ghost.
464
00:37:44,088 --> 00:37:47,843
Ducking and weaving. Ducking and weav...
465
00:37:50,762 --> 00:37:54,768
Oh, thank you, Jesus, in your mercy.
466
00:38:36,695 --> 00:38:39,115
Just this once.
467
00:38:39,282 --> 00:38:44,288
'Cause it can't be denied
it does you no good in the long run.
468
00:38:45,540 --> 00:38:49,920
Get through this weekend. Then finish.
469
00:38:50,963 --> 00:38:53,383
Get my lovely girl back.
470
00:38:53,591 --> 00:38:55,970
Health farm.
471
00:38:56,971 --> 00:38:58,848
Shag...
472
00:38:59,723 --> 00:39:02,102
ourselves...
473
00:39:02,269 --> 00:39:03,854
No.
474
00:39:04,813 --> 00:39:07,192
Take her...
475
00:39:07,692 --> 00:39:10,321
Take her to the west coast.
476
00:39:11,739 --> 00:39:13,825
Galway.
477
00:39:14,993 --> 00:39:18,539
So beautiful there.
478
00:39:20,416 --> 00:39:25,006
See her eyes sparkle
when she sees that sea.
479
00:39:25,923 --> 00:39:28,302
That sky.
480
00:39:30,304 --> 00:39:33,141
Ahh... Jesus.
481
00:39:34,643 --> 00:39:36,854
Magic.
482
00:39:49,744 --> 00:39:52,768
Yes, yes. I have seen it,
as a matter of fact.
483
00:39:53,082 --> 00:39:55,586
I find it quite irresponsible.
484
00:39:55,752 --> 00:39:58,777
I'd be surprised if Michael Samuels
485
00:39:58,987 --> 00:40:02,219
was ever a member of
the Communist Party.
486
00:40:02,385 --> 00:40:05,610
And as for his CND
and pro-gay stance,
487
00:40:05,911 --> 00:40:08,435
well, that was a long time ago
488
00:40:08,601 --> 00:40:13,191
when he was an undergraduate
at Cambridge, I understand.
489
00:40:13,358 --> 00:40:18,364
I think we should forgive a man
a few youthful indiscretions.
490
00:40:18,531 --> 00:40:21,034
What, me?
491
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,328
No, no, no.
492
00:40:23,537 --> 00:40:25,894
I was too busy as a young lieutenant
493
00:40:26,104 --> 00:40:28,668
in the Scots Guards
for anything like that.
494
00:40:29,962 --> 00:40:34,467
- What do you make of it?
- Nothing seems to make sense.
495
00:40:34,633 --> 00:40:37,449
That file on Samuels
was in Central Office.
496
00:40:37,763 --> 00:40:40,058
So O'Neill again, I suppose.
497
00:40:40,224 --> 00:40:43,353
I suppose, but O'Neill working for who?
498
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:48,526
He worked for Billsborough on behalf
of Samuels. This smear is on Samuels.
499
00:40:48,693 --> 00:40:52,865
Billsborough playing a double game?
Landless? Urquhart?
500
00:40:53,032 --> 00:40:56,161
- No, not Urquhart.
- Why not?
501
00:40:56,327 --> 00:40:59,248
I just... Oh, it's hopeless.
502
00:41:00,333 --> 00:41:03,462
I don't know why
I'm still working on it.
503
00:41:03,628 --> 00:41:09,052
I have no job. No one except the BBC
will even use me as a freelance.
504
00:41:09,218 --> 00:41:14,434
I just keep thinking, ''Two days more.
I'll give it two days till the election.
505
00:41:14,601 --> 00:41:17,521
''If I haven't got any further,
I'll give up.''
506
00:41:18,563 --> 00:41:21,388
The infuriating thing is,
507
00:41:21,389 --> 00:41:24,613
I feel as if I already have
the answer somehow.
508
00:41:25,864 --> 00:41:28,451
I just can't see it for looking.
509
00:41:46,431 --> 00:41:49,811
7998. Oh, John, hi.
510
00:41:50,020 --> 00:41:52,731
Roger O'Neill's dead.
511
00:41:53,524 --> 00:41:55,527
What?
512
00:41:55,693 --> 00:41:58,155
The Southampton police found him
513
00:41:58,365 --> 00:42:00,825
in a toilet on the M27
at 4:30 this morning.
514
00:42:02,034 --> 00:42:05,038
Drug-induced heart failure, apparently.
515
00:42:05,246 --> 00:42:07,500
Sorry. That's that.
516
00:42:09,543 --> 00:42:12,256
God, I feel so bad about this.
517
00:42:13,424 --> 00:42:18,222
I jacked him in. And the job.
I couldn't go on with him like that.
518
00:42:18,388 --> 00:42:21,350
I thought if I left him he
could get himself straight.
519
00:42:21,664 --> 00:42:23,478
I know he can do it.
520
00:42:25,062 --> 00:42:27,358
I mean...
521
00:42:27,567 --> 00:42:30,111
God... I'm sorry.
522
00:42:30,319 --> 00:42:32,197
That's OK.
523
00:42:34,699 --> 00:42:37,496
He could be such fun, you know?
524
00:42:38,913 --> 00:42:43,294
He didn't give a bugger.
He was such a wicked man.
525
00:42:45,631 --> 00:42:49,052
What was he doing in Southampton?
526
00:42:49,217 --> 00:42:54,225
He was supposed to spend the weekend
with someone. Wouldn't say who.
527
00:42:54,391 --> 00:42:57,561
I'd left him, and I rang
him up three times a day
528
00:42:57,875 --> 00:43:00,316
just to make sure he was all right.
529
00:43:00,482 --> 00:43:04,613
Do you know... why he died?
530
00:43:07,699 --> 00:43:12,915
What d'you mean? He had heart failure,
or someone sold him some bad stuff.
531
00:43:13,081 --> 00:43:16,002
What does it matter? He's dead.
532
00:43:16,168 --> 00:43:20,883
He was being used by someone.
That's why he involved you.
533
00:43:21,092 --> 00:43:24,220
I think he was being blackmailed.
534
00:43:25,429 --> 00:43:28,351
He wasn't the only one.
535
00:43:29,310 --> 00:43:31,146
I... erm...
536
00:43:31,354 --> 00:43:34,900
I went with Pat Woolton
at the party conference.
537
00:43:35,066 --> 00:43:37,779
Someone taped us and sent it to Pat.
538
00:43:37,945 --> 00:43:39,573
God.
539
00:43:39,740 --> 00:43:42,660
- Who?
- Don't know.
540
00:43:44,286 --> 00:43:46,790
Pat thought it was me.
541
00:43:49,459 --> 00:43:53,966
You don't care about Roger.
You just want a good story.
542
00:43:54,133 --> 00:43:56,177
I do care, Penny.
543
00:43:56,491 --> 00:43:59,056
I don't want to talk
about this anymore.
544
00:43:59,889 --> 00:44:01,976
Roger's dead.
545
00:44:02,142 --> 00:44:05,271
I don't actually care
about anything else.
546
00:44:05,585 --> 00:44:08,401
So go away, please,
and leave me alone.
547
00:44:08,608 --> 00:44:10,028
- Urquhart?
- No!
548
00:44:10,194 --> 00:44:11,738
Then who?
549
00:44:11,905 --> 00:44:14,783
Someone with access to
confidential information.
550
00:44:14,993 --> 00:44:17,245
Not just party secrets, cabinet secrets.
551
00:44:17,412 --> 00:44:21,584
The Territorial Army leaks,
the hospital cuts, Mendox.
552
00:44:21,749 --> 00:44:26,965
You'd have to be on three different
cabinet committees to know all those.
553
00:44:27,131 --> 00:44:31,095
The only person on
all three was Collingridge.
554
00:44:31,303 --> 00:44:33,598
Let's try motive again.
555
00:44:33,599 --> 00:44:36,519
Who stood to gainfrom all
the leaks and dirty tricks?
556
00:44:36,685 --> 00:44:41,275
Anyone who wanted to get rid
of Collingridge and be Prime Minister.
557
00:44:41,442 --> 00:44:43,861
Earle, McKenzie,
558
00:44:44,027 --> 00:44:46,531
Samuels, Billsborough,
559
00:44:46,698 --> 00:44:49,118
Woolton, Urquhart.
560
00:44:49,284 --> 00:44:54,500
Every one of those has been smeared,
nobbled or buggered up except Urquhart.
561
00:44:54,666 --> 00:44:58,713
The snag is,
Urquhart's not a cabinet minister.
562
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,218
- He didn't have to be.
- What?
563
00:45:04,095 --> 00:45:09,769
He didn't have to be. He'd have known
about those things by being Chief Whip.
564
00:45:10,936 --> 00:45:13,482
Every department has a Whip.
565
00:45:13,690 --> 00:45:17,445
The junior Whips report
to the Chief Whip.
566
00:45:17,612 --> 00:45:22,409
The Chief Whip is informed of anything
that is likely to be sensitive.
567
00:45:22,575 --> 00:45:25,245
And he knows personal stuff.
568
00:45:25,246 --> 00:45:27,916
Would he know about
Woolton and that girl?
569
00:45:29,168 --> 00:45:32,839
They met in Urquhart's suite,
at his party.
570
00:45:33,005 --> 00:45:37,804
Jesus! Mattie, why the hell
didn't you think of Urquhart sooner?
571
00:45:37,969 --> 00:45:41,850
- I couldn't bear to think it was him.
- Why not?
572
00:45:42,058 --> 00:45:44,771
Can't you guess?
573
00:45:46,106 --> 00:45:48,984
I'm having an affair with him.
574
00:45:50,152 --> 00:45:52,572
Francis Urquhart?
575
00:45:52,738 --> 00:45:55,284
He's old enough to be your father.
576
00:45:55,451 --> 00:45:58,579
What on earth do you think that matters?
577
00:46:00,665 --> 00:46:02,751
I'm in love with him.
578
00:46:08,382 --> 00:46:13,181
You met Patrick at Urquhart's party.
Did anyone arrange that meeting?
579
00:46:13,347 --> 00:46:15,293
Roger did.
580
00:46:15,329 --> 00:46:18,563
Look, did you come all this
way just to make me cry again?
581
00:46:18,729 --> 00:46:23,277
Of course I didn't. Listen.
Was Roger acting for someone?
582
00:46:23,444 --> 00:46:25,905
He was. He didn't say who, though.
583
00:46:26,113 --> 00:46:31,120
Could it have been Urquhart?
Did he and Roger know each other well?
584
00:46:31,286 --> 00:46:33,490
I don't think so.
585
00:46:33,491 --> 00:46:37,294
Roger was doing some work
for him. Urquhart was angry.
586
00:46:37,460 --> 00:46:39,923
Some cock-up over computer files.
587
00:46:40,131 --> 00:46:43,344
Urquhart has a country house.
Do you know where?
588
00:46:44,470 --> 00:46:47,641
I used to have all the
cabinet private numbers.
589
00:46:47,850 --> 00:46:50,394
I handed the list in when I left.
590
00:46:50,603 --> 00:46:55,943
No, hang on. I could give you the code.
It was my PIN number. 0703.
591
00:47:26,438 --> 00:47:28,733
0703...
592
00:47:30,486 --> 00:47:34,157
0703... 0703.
593
00:47:53,055 --> 00:47:57,853
- Could you say that again, please?
- Lyndhurst 37428.
594
00:47:58,019 --> 00:48:02,192
- Is that Lyndhurst. Surrey?
- Lyndhurst, Hampshire.
595
00:48:02,359 --> 00:48:05,279
It's the middle of
the bloody night here!
596
00:48:42,283 --> 00:48:44,369
- Hello.
- John.
597
00:48:44,536 --> 00:48:47,665
Where Roger O'Neill was found...
598
00:48:47,831 --> 00:48:51,587
The motorway services
where O'Neill was found.
599
00:48:51,754 --> 00:48:55,258
It's only eight miles
from Urquhart's country house!
600
00:49:54,789 --> 00:49:57,085
- Adrian!
- Hi, Mattie.
601
00:49:57,252 --> 00:49:59,713
What's going on?
It feels like Christmas.
602
00:49:59,879 --> 00:50:03,426
- The Urquhart mob celebrating.
- Already?
603
00:50:03,593 --> 00:50:07,097
- Looks like it's the Whip.
- Have you seen him?
604
00:50:07,305 --> 00:50:10,225
Urquhart? No, won't do
interviews till it's official.
605
00:50:10,539 --> 00:50:12,521
You needn't have hurried.
606
00:50:12,729 --> 00:50:17,652
- Come and have a cup of tea.
- No. There's someone I need to see.
607
00:50:17,818 --> 00:50:20,239
Thanks, Adrian.
608
00:51:25,737 --> 00:51:31,286
- I believe you're looking for Francis.
- Oh, yes. Yes, I am. Thank you.
609
00:51:31,493 --> 00:51:34,748
Um... you're one of the Whips,
aren't you?
610
00:51:34,914 --> 00:51:38,461
- Tim Stamper.
- I'm Mattie Storin.
611
00:51:38,628 --> 00:51:42,591
Lately of the ''Chronicle''.
Currently a charge upon the state.
612
00:51:42,758 --> 00:51:46,388
- It's not...
- We've spoken on the phone.
613
00:51:46,555 --> 00:51:51,853
- I was wondering what you'd look like.
- It's urgent. Where's Mr. Urquhart?
614
00:51:52,062 --> 00:51:56,567
- What do you want to see him about?
- It's personal.
615
00:51:56,775 --> 00:52:01,615
Yes, I'm sure it is. You'll appreciate
he has rather a heavy day today.
616
00:52:01,823 --> 00:52:07,664
- I'm sure he'll make time to see me.
- Oh, I shouldn't be surprised at all.
617
00:52:09,457 --> 00:52:12,170
- Roof garden.
- Right.
618
00:52:12,336 --> 00:52:14,961
He wanted time to himself.
619
00:52:14,962 --> 00:52:18,386
You'd better be right about
his eagerness to see you.
620
00:52:18,552 --> 00:52:21,682
Thank you very much for your help
621
00:53:13,954 --> 00:53:16,584
Mattie, little Mattie.
622
00:53:16,791 --> 00:53:20,547
- I was thinking about you.
- I don't think you were.
623
00:53:20,714 --> 00:53:26,554
Indeed I was. Now the struggle
seems to be over, I could help you.
624
00:53:28,098 --> 00:53:31,227
Mattie? Is there something the matter?
625
00:53:31,434 --> 00:53:34,147
Is there anything I can do?
626
00:53:34,314 --> 00:53:38,069
You're upset about something.
What is it?
627
00:53:38,236 --> 00:53:40,739
Tell me it isn't true.
628
00:53:40,904 --> 00:53:42,783
What?
629
00:53:42,949 --> 00:53:44,972
Tell me it isn't true.
630
00:53:45,182 --> 00:53:47,622
Tell you what isn't true?
What, Mattie?
631
00:53:47,789 --> 00:53:50,459
I have many talents,
but I'm not a mind-reader.
632
00:53:50,668 --> 00:53:54,631
That you're the one.
You were all the time.
633
00:53:54,797 --> 00:53:59,846
The one who framed Collingridge.
The one who leaked the documents.
634
00:54:00,054 --> 00:54:04,059
The one who frightened me.
The one who killed O'Neill.
635
00:54:04,268 --> 00:54:08,231
Tell me it isn't true. Tell me.
636
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,360
Mattie, Mattie...
637
00:54:12,485 --> 00:54:16,658
Look at me. Come on, now. That's better.
638
00:54:18,202 --> 00:54:20,914
You trust me, don't you?
639
00:54:21,081 --> 00:54:23,292
Did you...?
640
00:54:23,459 --> 00:54:26,045
Did you kill Roger O'Neill?
641
00:54:26,212 --> 00:54:31,093
Mattie, have you any idea at all
how much this pains me?
642
00:54:31,926 --> 00:54:34,764
I feel for you very deeply.
643
00:54:34,931 --> 00:54:39,020
I can't bear to be
the object of your suspicion.
644
00:54:39,185 --> 00:54:43,567
I trusted you, Mattie.
Why couldn't you trust me?
645
00:54:43,733 --> 00:54:46,863
I wanted to. I still want to.
646
00:54:47,030 --> 00:54:49,241
- Do you?
- I love you.
647
00:54:49,449 --> 00:54:52,870
Tell me properly. Call me Daddy.
648
00:54:54,162 --> 00:54:56,667
I love you, Daddy.
649
00:54:57,835 --> 00:55:01,089
- I just want to know.
- What?
650
00:55:02,214 --> 00:55:04,718
Did you kill Roger O'Neill?
651
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:08,390
Yes.
652
00:55:09,682 --> 00:55:12,395
- How?
- Rat poison.
653
00:55:14,062 --> 00:55:16,775
He had to be put down.
654
00:55:17,526 --> 00:55:20,238
It was an act of mercy.
655
00:55:20,404 --> 00:55:24,034
He's at peace now. Nothing more to fear.
656
00:55:26,578 --> 00:55:29,207
- Mattie...
- What?
657
00:55:30,208 --> 00:55:32,503
- Mattie...
- What?
658
00:55:33,837 --> 00:55:36,341
Can I trust you?
659
00:55:36,508 --> 00:55:40,471
- You know you can.
- Oh, Mattie.
660
00:55:40,638 --> 00:55:43,558
It gives me such pain to say this.
661
00:55:43,725 --> 00:55:46,103
But I don't believe you.
662
00:55:46,269 --> 00:55:48,773
I don't believe I can trust you.
663
00:55:52,443 --> 00:55:54,322
Daddy...!
664
00:56:13,303 --> 00:56:17,809
Something made me turn round.
I must have heard her.
665
00:56:17,976 --> 00:56:20,563
I had no chance of preventing her.
666
00:56:21,396 --> 00:56:23,900
Yes, I knew her slightly.
667
00:56:24,067 --> 00:56:29,282
She was a very talented young woman,
but rather highly-strung.
668
00:56:30,742 --> 00:56:34,205
She interviewed me on several occasions.
669
00:56:34,413 --> 00:56:39,294
She was very upset about losing her job
as a political correspondent.
670
00:56:40,671 --> 00:56:43,174
Death is always sad.
671
00:56:43,340 --> 00:56:46,678
But the unexpected
death of a young person
672
00:56:46,992 --> 00:56:49,599
on the threshold of her career
673
00:56:49,765 --> 00:56:52,269
is especially upsetting.
674
00:56:52,436 --> 00:56:55,043
Francis Urquhart commenting
675
00:56:55,253 --> 00:56:58,068
on the death of a
journalist earlier today.
676
00:56:58,234 --> 00:57:01,138
Mr. Urquhart,
at Buckingham Palace,
677
00:57:01,339 --> 00:57:04,242
will be invited
by the Queen to form...
678
00:57:08,956 --> 00:57:11,543
No. I have nothing to say.
679
00:57:13,087 --> 00:57:14,755
No.
680
00:57:16,174 --> 00:57:17,842
No.
681
00:57:18,593 --> 00:57:21,722
Don't you see? I had to do it.
682
00:57:22,931 --> 00:57:25,644
