All language subtitles for A Very English Scandal (2018) - S01E02 - Episode 2 (1080p AMZN WEB-DL x265 t3nzin)_track3_[eng]

-I regard it as immoral...
MEMBERS: Hear, hear!

...this country is continuing
to supply arms to Nigeria

while no food has been able
to reach these people

since the tenth of June.

-Shame on you!
MEMBERS: Hear, hear!

And who takes advantage
of this situation?

Soviet Russia!

The Russians have been
growing in strength
within Nigeria

with every passing day.

And the world
should see this!

The world should know.

Of course,
the real question is
where to dispose of the body.

In New York, they drop
corpses in the river.

I've read that you can seal
a body in concrete

at the base of a motorway.

Tin mines.
That's the solution.

David. Ready for you now.

Pedro Besselli, David Holmes.
David's in finance.

He was Deputy Treasurer
of the Party.

He got us those carpets
for Liberal headquarters
half price.

Magic Carpet Company,
that's me.

We were at Oxford
and we holiday together.

We've had some bloody times,
him and me.

-That beach in Greece.
-That waiter!

Anyway, you two
must have business.
I'll leave you alone.

No, no, no. Same business.
Come in. Lock the door.

So I was saying,
Norman Scott - tin mines.

Hundreds of abandoned
tin mines all over Cornwall.

Brilliant. You drop
the body down there,
he'll never be found.

Take him to the pub,
get him drunk,

shove him in a car, drive him
out to Bodmin Moor, kill him.

-That's my constituency.
-Kill him, how?

Oh, come on. It's quite easy
to break someone's neck.

Come here, Pedro.

Elbow there, jerk up.
(MIMICS SNAP)

He might wriggle out of it.

Men like him
tend to be wrigglers.

Then shoot him.
Can you get a gun?

I can do whatever you want,
Jeremy.

(MIMICS) He can do
whatever I want, Jeremy.

Well, shoot the bugger
stone dead.

Message for you.
Norman Scott.

Oh.

-(URGENT KNOCKING)
-Yah!

It's over. It's done.

It's finished.

You don't need to worry about
Norman Scott ever again.

Why? Is he dead?

It's better than that.

(TAPPING ON GLASS)

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you, everyone.
Thank you very much.

As um... father of the bride,

it is my duty to toast
the happy couple.

-Mr and Mrs Scott.
GUESTS: Mr and Mrs Scott.

This is the second time
this task has befallen me.

You will recall our
first-born daughter Belinda

was lucky enough to marry
that fine actor and gentleman

-Terry Thomas...
-Hear, hear.

...of Those
Magnificent Men...

ALL: ...In Their
Flying Machines.

They can't be here today.

Terry has to attend
the premiere

of Monte Carlo Or Bust!

Or perhaps they've chosen
to stay away

while my second daughter,
Susan,

marries this
dreadful homosexual.

That's where my wife is.
Sitting at home,
weeping in fury

with her child
two months pregnant

by this flagrant poofter.

Quite how he got her
pregnant, I don't know.

She must have been caught
down wind.

So, all I have to say,
in tribute to this
desolate affair,

is...

leave him, my darling.

Come home.

OTHERS: Come home.

-(BIRDSONG)
-Look at me. Look at Daddy.

Look at me. Look at Daddy.
Look at my face.

-(BABY GRIZZLES)
-Why don't you look at me?

-(VEHICLE APPROACHES)
-Gonna have a look.

Here she comes.

A taxi? That's nice.
How much did that cost?

-Every last penny.
-Did you buy any food?

-You're the provider.
-But...

Did you spend all our money?

Get some more.

You married me.

You promised
to look after me.

(BABY GRIZZLES)

Look. I'm amazed.

You'd think it
was Carnaby Street.
Out here in the sticks!

Isn't it beautiful?

And books.

Daddy says a house
can't have enough books.

And, look, Lynette told me
that peacock feathers
are lucky.

Look. Do you see?
They look like eyes.

The thing is, we're starving.

There's nothing in
the kitchen and, technically,

peacock feathers are unlucky
according to superstition.

But, nothing.
Not even a slice of bread.

Whose fault is that?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't tell me, no.
It's him, isn't it?

-It's his fault - again.
-It is.

If Jeremy Thorpe
did his duty and got
my National Insurance card,

-I wouldn't be in...
-You know, he got married,
you got married.

He had a baby.
You had a baby.

Is any of this about me,
Norman?

I mean, why am I even here?

I love you.

Do you know what you
sound like when you say that?

You sound queer.

-(BABY GRIZZLES)
-Just give him to me.

(BABY GRIZZLES)

Ooh. Benjamino.

He's so hungry.

-Go and get some food.
-We don't have any money.

Just get my child some food.

(BABY GRIZZLES)

(CLUCKING)

(HORN TOOTS)

Sue? What are you doing?

Sue? What are you doing?
Please! Listen to me!

No, no, no, no, Sue!

Please! No, no, no!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry! I...

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

-Yah!
-(DOOR OPENS)

Splendid, Mike.
How can I help?

I'm sorry, the police are
here. They'd like a word.

What is it?

What's happened?

RADIO: Witnesses say
the car was driving along
the A303 in Hampshire

when the collision occurred.

Caroline Thorpe
was travelling alone

and the other driver only
sustained minor injuries.

The Prime Minister has
expressed his condolences.

Where's Rupert?

Hey.

Oh!

Where's my Rupert Bear?
Where is he?

(JEREMY SOBS)

JEREMY:
Oh, we may never know...

...whether she...

...looked down or...
fell asleep at the wheel
just for a second,

but she swerved
into the opposite lane.

A... 13-ton lorry.

She flipped over,
landed on the roof,

skidded along, stopped...

still alive...

Ah... spoke to the police
while they were
cutting her out.

I'm told that she apologised
for the inconvenience.

Uh...

Dead by the time she...
got to hospital.

There was a ruptured spleen.

Everyone at headquarters
sends their condolences.

Thank you.

Of course, if there's
one miracle, it's that
Rupert wasn't with her.

-Thank God.
-Yah, it's all about him now.

My mother says
that he won't remember her...

...but I'm...

I say he will.

Obviously, if there's
anything we can do to help

with arrangements
for the funeral

or talking to
your constituents.

We thought some
sort of memorial
might be a good idea.

Thank you, Mike.

(BLOWS NOSE)

And there's the question
of your returning to work.

-It's a bit soon for that.
-I don't mean
to cause offence, Mike.

I'm just being practical.

And I'm sure
you appreciate that, Jeremy.

The affairs of state
are relentless.

So if you need me to step in,
then... you only have to say.

JEREMY: Emlyn bloody Hooson
wants my job.

Always did.

I thought I'd have you
at my side, Besselli,
to fight the good fight,

but now you're giving me
more burden.

I've got no choice. I'm not
just leaving Parliament.

I think I might have to
get out of the country
while I still can.

Just between the two of us,

I'm planning to vanish.

That last venture turned into
a bit of a nightmare.

-The one with the eggs.
-What happened?

The egg man dropped
down dead, leaving me
half a million in debt.

And since you're not allowed
to be an MP and a bankrupt,

off I pop.

I swear, a man is not allowed
to lose his money these days

without everybody
making a fuss.

So, what's the next
adventure?

America.
A man can start again there.

And escape a furious wife.

How is the new girl?
Is she any good?

-She's the love of my life.
-Oh, don't be ridiculous.

I shall miss you, Besselli.
And your nonsense.

I don't suppose
you'll be back.

I doubt it. I've left a bit
too much damage behind.

Well, who knows where
time and tide will take us?

I'll see you again,
old friend.

I hope so.
And I really am sorry.

She was a wonderful girl.

Of course, we still have
that... unfinished business.

-The Scottish matter.
-Really, though,
do you think?

-You told me he was divorced.
-Yes. But I sent him some
money and that was that.

I can promise he's gone.
He's not going to bother you
any more.

Just let me give you one last
piece of advice, old man.

Leave Norman Scott alone.

She had terrible nightmares.

Who did? Caroline?

She'd wake up screaming.

Every single night.

In the end, she was...
too scared to go to sleep.

It started about a year
into the marriage.
About the time...

that she spoke to
the mad man on the phone.

Yes, but you can't think
that's his fault.

Well, I wish you...
a safe journey, Peter,

and I wish you a happy life.

And then I wish Norman Scott
to be killed.

(BIRDSONG)

If this is gonna be
a regular thing, I'll have to
buy myself a Thermos.

-I'm sorry. Who are you?
-Gwen Parry-Jones.
From the village.

I used to be the
sub-postmistress, but now...

now I'm free as a bird.

Right, well,
what do you want?

This is for you.

Come on, take it.

And if you want sugar...

I've brought a little pouch.

Talk of the village, you are.

Arriving like a visitation.

I'm sure you understand this
isn't my chosen habitation.

I'm owed some money by...

well, let's say
by an influential gentleman.

Well, we've all been talking.

John Jones said,
"He must be a hermit."

Buddug said,
"I bet he's an artist,
like Toulouse-Lautrec."

(LAUGHS) Because you
were wearing a scarf
when you arrived.

Mind you, some of the boys

have been saying
awful things about you.

Well, I told them. I said,
"Any more of that...

and I'll be getting
the carbolic."

Dirty, bloody mochyns.

People seem to hound me.

Wherever I go.

I think I've been cursed.

Well, if you get any trouble,
you put them onto me.

My husband was in
the Welsh Guards.
He taught me how to box.

"Gwen," he said, "Gwen,
everyone should know
how to box.

There could be a war
any minute."

-Dead now.
-Your husband?

Only two months ago.
Fell like a tree.

-Oh, I'm so sorry.
-It's been hard.

-I bet.
-I loved him.

-I'm sure.
-The nights are very long.

-Mm.
-Norman...

Norman...

...the nights... are very...

...very long.

(MOANS AND SQUEALS
OF PLEASURE)

-(SHE LAUGHS)
-Oh, my... Oh, my God!

(HE GASPS)

(THEY MOAN)

Norman! Norman!

(MOANING AND SQUEALING)

-(SHE GIGGLES)
-(MAN WHISTLES)

-Hey, boys. Hey.
-(CHUCKLING)

-Hey, boys. Hey.

-Wa-hey!
-Look at that suit.

-Wa-hey!
-Look at that suit.

(MUTTERING AND CHUCKLING)

Ooh!

I walked out and that was it.

I never saw him again.

I completely understand

if you don't want to
see me again.

-Why would I do that?
-Because of the men.

Don't be silly.
My husband was in the army.

But Jeremy Thorpe,
for God's sake!

He's the leader of the party.

RADIO: ♪ DAVID ESSEX:
Gonna Make You A Star

Norman.

You've struck lucky.

Yes! Because
this friend of mine,

his son is the MP
for Montgomeryshire.

He's a Liberal MP.

An actual Liberal.
I'm gonna tell him.

Yes, do. Good. And mention
the National Insurance card.

Yes, I will. I will.

He's a smashing chap.

His name is Mr Emlyn...
Hooson.

Mrs Parry-Jones, of course.

Thank you for coming
all this way.

Nice to see you again,
Mr Hooson.

-This is Mr Scott.
-Thank you so much
for seeing me.

And may I say
it's about time.

If you'd like to follow me.
Come this way.

Can I ask,
is Mr Thorpe here today?

Oh, he's away in Zambia.
He won't be back till Monday.

Can I introduce you to
my colleague, David Steel.

MP for Roxburgh,
Selkirk and Peebles.

He's very kindly
lent us his office
and would like to attend.

-Jeremy used to
talk about you.
-Did he? All good, I hope.

He called you
the baby of the house.

I'm sure he meant it
in a jovial fashion.

Not particularly.

And, in the end,
I never did get
my National Insurance card.

But Gwen says
I'm an honorary Welshman now.

She's been wonderful.

She's given me £500
for a pony trekking centre.

But er...
if all of this is true...

Your story is quite alarming,
Mr Scott.

Yes, and you've certainly
been detailed.

-Thank you.
-And clearly you have a gift.

For eliciting money
out of people.

But, tell me, when Mr Thorpe
gave you money,

were you blackmailing him?

What sort of blackmailer
goes to the police first?

I think perhaps we've heard
enough for one day.

These are very serious
allegations...

I love him, though.

-I beg your pardon.
-I love him. Jeremy.

-You can stop it now.
-Every time I
tell this story,

it's always about the card
and the sex and the letters.

But I loved him
and I still love him,

even though
that's ridiculous.

And he loved me.

So you can write down this.

I wasn't his prostitute
or a one-night stand...

or a quick little fuck
in the dark.

I was Jeremy Thorpe's lover.

(STIFLED SOBBING FROM GWEN)

I had no idea
how much he meant to you.

(CHATTER IN BACKGROUND)

-Welcome back.
-Thank you.
It was an excellent trip.

I wondered if I might
have a word.

-You know, I'm very busy--
-It's about Norman Scott.

Who?

Although I did know
a Norman Josiffe.

I think he also called
himself Norman Lynch.

So it's not impossible
that he changed his name
for a third time.

But I hardly knew him well.

And yet...

he can describe
your mother's house,

and your flat
at Marsham Court,

in great detail.

-Well, he did visit me, yes.
-What for?

I was helping him.

He had problems at work.
I gave advice, I think.

Is that all?

That was all.

Well, in that case, you won't
mind if I take this further.

To the Party.

And the police.

Because if he's lying,
then it's very important

that none of us are fouled
with the stench
of this filth.

I think that
would be a mistake.

Why's that?

Because you stood for
election as leader in '67
and I won.

So this would look like
nothing but revenge.

Well, we can let
the inquiry decide.

Then I shall remind them
that you're the man
who stood up in court

-and defended Ian Brady.
-That was my duty...
to the Crown.

So you've sided with the very
worst of sexual deviants.

What happened?
Did you get a taste for it?

I shall be
taking this forward.

Yeah, you do that.

Home Secretary.
Mr Thorpe for you.

-Jeremy!
-Reggie, this is
very good of you.

Thank you very much.

Ken, a sweet vermouth
for both of us.

-Keep them coming.
-Yes, Mr Maudling.

There's only one reason
anyone asks to see me

all hugger-mugger.

Have you been an idiot?

No.

So, you see, it's really
the same old tale.

In fact, first lesson
of politics - beware
one's own colleagues.

So, what would you
like me to do?

Well, Hooson won't give up.
He's a grammar school boy.

I think he likes
scrapping in the yard.

And, apparently,
this Scott made a statement
to the police back in '62.

It's a pack of lies
but its sheer existence

could be... misread.

Oh, would that be so bad?

We can all bear
a little scandal.

My own mother disowned me
when I married an actress -
and I survived.

(CHUCKLING)

-How is Beryl?
-Still dancing.

You see, I think it's
different when the lies are
homosexual in nature,

because I think stories
like that reflect badly
on the whole of Parliament.

I just thought that perhaps
you could suggest
to the police that they...

busy themselves
with more important things.

Is it true? What Scott says?

No.

-Consider it done.
-Thank you.

Consider it done and...
no more.

We've hit a problem.

The Commissioner of
the Metropolitan Police
can't find any substance

to Mr Scott's allegations.

♪ MIDDLE OF THE ROAD:
Soley Soley

You're very kind, Emlyn.

But it doesn't really matter
any more.

I... I just thought
that um...

if Mr Scott had
any evidence...

Um... Can I speak to him?

I've been very silly.

I do these things.

I have these little passions

and they sweep in
and they sweep out.

Mm.

Sorry. I don't think
I understand.

They laughed at me.

They all laughed at me.

The widow woman, falling for
a boy who was already in love
with someone else.

Stupid.

I'm sorry.
I really don't understand.

It's OK that the matter
is closed, Mr Hooson.

You go back to your world
and I'll just stay in mine,

because I'm gonna be
perfectly fine.

Are you all right?

Gwen? Hello, there?

Gwen, are you in?

Bloody hell, it's hot.

-Hey.
-Gwen?

Oh!

Oh.

Hard to identify.

They think the body's
been there for weeks, with
the heating on full blast.

I was away. I was in London.

We'll have to wait
for the inquest but...

there were some pills
and some alcohol by the bed.

I'm so sorry.

It's a terrible set
of circumstances

but, given
the poor lady's passing,

I think we have to
consider the matter closed.

-Gracious of you.
-Thank you.

Did you give Mr Scott
your sympathies?

I passed on my condolences,
yes.

No doubt you used
the same tone of voice

as when you offered me
sympathy for my dead wife.

Thank you, Emlyn.
You're dismissed.

David. Come.

We have work to do.

Jeremy says,
"Kill him in America."

So, I thought... Florida.

You see? This one is called
Big Cypress Swamp.

So, we... lure him there,

shoot him dead,
chuck him in the swamp -

plop - he sinks
to the bottom, gone.

-Or he gets eaten
by alligators.
-Even better.

And you do
the actual shooting?

(SIGHS) I suppose so.

Shoot him, how?

Through the head.

David, you don't really
want to do this, do you?

-Oh, my God, no.
-I'm so glad.

-Bloody hell. It's insane.
-Bonkers, isn't it?

It's bloody nuts.

Do you think he
seriously means it, though?

Do you think Jeremy
really wants him dead?

Sometimes I do, yes.

So do I.

Shit.

And here we are...
plotting... with alligators.

It's astonishing
the hold he has over us.

Strange, isn't it?

Cos I've got that bloke
of mine at home, Gerald.

And that's magic.

But then I go to London,
and there's Jeremy.

And...

...I love him.

Gosh.

Yeah.

It amazes me that we'll go to
such lengths to protect him

when he's so bloody overt.

He's perfected the art
of hiding in plain sight.

I think he likes it.

The danger of it.
It's a game.

Could you...
do it, though, David?

Could you... kill someone?

Really?

I'd get someone else
to do it.

-Would you?
-I could find people, yeah.

Well, let's make sure
that you never do.

We'll pretend to Jeremy.
We'll tell him we've set it
all up - the murder,

in Florida, and Norman - and
that something went wrong.

We'll say that Norman
just didn't turn up.

Wha... That's a bit lame.

Well, at least
he'll think that we tried.

Cos the good thing is
that Jeremy forgets
Norman Scott every few years.

Let's just keep
putting him off

until he forgets for good.

It might work.

He's got other things
on his mind these days.

-He's getting married again.
-Oh, good God!

Marion. Countess of Harewood.

What?

So, how was the wedding?
Congratulations, by the way.

Thank you very much indeed.

We're absolutely delighted.

It was a relatively
modest affair.

-Paddington Register Office.
-And then Westminster Abbey
for the blessing.

Followed by a luncheon
for family and friends.

I think it was only...
40 guests?

We wanted to make it special.

We shared many happy memories
of Rupert's mother.

-It was lovely.
-We did indeed.

more than that.

"Deputy Prime Minister"
isn't an official title.

It's only given at the Prime
Minister's discretion.

He could be
the Deputy Prime Minister
of the United Kingdom.

A man who wants his secret
homosexual lover murdered.

Mr Thorpe left Downing Street
some 20 minutes ago,

but there's been
no announcement yet.

No. The terms
were not acceptable.

-Good for you.
-But Heath's out.

He's resigned. One down.

He's resigned. One down.
The Queen's asking Wilson

so let's start with a month's

Can I ask,
is there accommodation?

There's a room

Well, it's not really a room,
but if you don't mind

Oh, God, I'll do anything.
That sounds perfect.

-Right, let's vote for--
-Come here, sweetheart.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Now sit yourself down.

They look cold,

Don't you flamin' well

(LAUGHTER)

Ohh...

No, no. No, no, no.
No touching the girls.

-(LAUGHS)
-Not until they're paid for!

Hey! That's my girlfriend!
Get yer 'ands off her!

I'm hiding the boobs,

Yeah. I've spoken to him.

Well, I think he's
just the man we need.

No, I can guarantee he's
professional, ruthless...

and utterly discreet.

I'm glad to help.
I love dogs.

You're such a good friend,
Norman.

If you could walk her
every day.

I warn you,
she's a bit of a handful.

Dogs love me.
The bigger, the better.

Her name's Rinka.
It's Japanese.
It means "trusting".

Oh, trusting.
Hello, Rinka.

Hello.
You're gorgeous, Rinka.

WOMAN: Good dog.
Oh, you tire me out.

-(LAUGHS) Oh.
-Oh.

Damn it. They promised me
this was a one-dog town.

(THEY CHUCKLE)

Lovely big brutes,
aren't they?

Yeah, we've seen this one
out and about.

It's Rinka, isn't it?

That's right.
And who's this beauty?

I'm Edna. No! (LAUGHS)

You mean the dog.

This is Princess Eleanor.

I'm Mrs Edna Friendship.

Oh, what a wonderful name.

Do you want to come in?
Come on, then.

Eh? Come on, then.

There's a good girl.
Good girl.

It's a nice little place.
We've got our regulars.

And a little stream of
traffic off Eastern Avenue.
We do all right.

-Is it just you?
-No. I've got Barney.
Pot man.

As I was saying,

he's found some girl
in Lyme Regis, so...

If you fancy doing
a few odd jobs...

you know, changing the
barrels, a bit of bar work.

And there's a nice,
little room upstairs.
You can have that.

-I could live here?
-Well, if you want.

Just peppercorn rent.

Oh. Erm...

(HE SOBS)

Oh, what's this for, eh?

Hm?

-Oh.
-It's just...

People are so lovely to me
wherever I go

and I never know why.

Oh. Well...

(PHONE RINGING)

Magic Carpet Company.
Magic Carpet King.
Can I help you?

It's me.

I've been looking.
There's no sign of him.

Norman Scott
has completely disappeared.

-Do you think he knows?
-Could do.

I searched the whole of
Dunstable. Not a whisper.

-Dunstable?
-Yep.

-You're in Dunstable?
-Yep.

-He's in Barnstaple.
-Eh?

Norman Scott
lives in Barnstaple.

-I'll go to Barnstaple.
-You'd better had.

Over and out.

-Excuse me.
-Hello.

Yes, I saw you looking,
and it's fine.

No complaints here.
I'm Norman. Nice jacket.

My name is Peter King.

I'm here to tell you,
Mr Scott, you're in
very great danger.

There is a man coming
from Canada to kill you.

-Canada?
-But certain parties have
hired me to protect you.

-How do you know who I am?
-Come with me now
to meet the person.

-What person?
-The one who hired me.

What do you mean,
someone wants to kill me?

Is it him? Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, it's him,
isn't it? Is it him?

Really, don't.
If you could come with me...

-right now.
-Is it him?

I don't know.
There is no "him". All right?

You have got to come with me.

I can't. I've got the dog.
She's not mine.
This is Princess Eleanor.

Just get in the fucking car.

Wait there.

EDNA: We look forward
to seeing you.

Edna. There's a man outside.

-Would you take her
for a moment, please?
-Got it.

This man,
he's got a yellow Honda.

-Write down the number.
-What for?

I can't stop!

-Oh. I've got it. Who is he?
-He says someone
wants to kill me.

Why have you
changed your shirt?

He's very good-looking.

So, have I got it right?

You still haven't got your
National Insurance card?

I have not.
So, tell me, what do you do?

-Who are you exactly?
-I'm a special investigator.

What does that mean?

It means...

You know... what it means.
It's best if you don't ask
too many questions.

-Right.
-All I can say is...

you're in mortal danger.

-And now I've got to go.
-But... What? Why?

I don't like the way
that man's looking at me.

But you can't just walk off.
Not after that. What do I do?

I'll contact you. Soon as
the man from Canada arrives.

Is he the man you wanted
me to meet, or the man
who's going to kill me?

It's complicated.
I'll be in touch.

EDNA: Norman.

Norman.
He says it's important.

-Hurry up!
-Is it him?

I don't know.

I think so.

-Hello.
-Norman. It's Andy here.

-Who's Andy?
-I mean Peter!

Yes?

He's here.
The man from Canada.

He's come to kill you
and he's already in Devon.

Oh, my God!
What do I do?

Don't tell anyone.
Not a word.

But meet me tonight.

Delves Hotel, Pin Street,
five o'clock.

(CHIMING)

I'll be going home now,
Mr Thorpe.

You working late?

Needs must. Thank you.

See you tomorrow.

(BELL RINGS THE HOUR)

(LOCAL BELL RINGING)

-Hello. Sorry I'm late.
-How many Great Danes
have you got?

This is Rinka.
Isn't she beautiful?

My friends can't cope
with her. She's more or less
mine now.

I hate dogs.

Well,
that's a silly thing to say.

No, it's like
a bloody donkey. How's it
gonna fit in the car?

I thought we were going
to the hotel.

-That's a different car.
-Change of plan.

I need to go to Porlock,
see a client.

-OK, well, I'll wait here.
-You need to come with me!

He could be anywhere,
the man from Canada.

Well, I'm not going
without Rinka.

Christ you make it difficult!
Get in, then.

In, in! Get in the car!

Oh, it stinks!

Get out. Go, go, go.

Take this thing with you
and all.

Ohh. Go inside,
wait at the bar,
I'll come back and get you.

-Where are you going to now?
-Business.

Rinka. This way.

(FIRE CRACKLING)

(MUSIC BLARING)

Ten thousand quid! Aaarghh!

Come on! Come on!

Aaarghh!

Aa-aa-aa-rrghh!

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(RAIN PATTERING)

Oh, for fuck...

How long have you
been sitting there?

Why didn't you
come and find me?

I can't be seen with anyone.

-Why not?
-Because of my job,
obviously. Get in.

-Can you take me home?
-Get in!

I am getting in!

Come on, Rinka. In.

Good dog.

-What about the man?
-What man?

From Canada.

Don't worry. It'll be OK.
I'll look after you.

Honestly.

Everything is gonna be...
fine and dandy.

That's what my mum
always says.

Fine and dandy.

-So, are they aggressive?
Great Danes?
-No.

Soft old things.
Isn't that right, Rinka?

You and me. (KISSES RINKA)

-Both soft old things.
-But do they attack?

You know, like, if someone
was to attack you,

you know, what would it do?

Um, she might, I suppose.

-Used to hunt boars
in the old days.
-Oh, Jesus.

Are you all right?

Yeah...

-Beautiful part of the world.
-Oh, not tonight.

But it is, though.
Magnificent.

And you,
you're a very lucky man.

-Someone's trying
to murder me.
-Yeah, I know, but...

You know what? Well done.

-What for?
-Dunno.

Not that bad, though, was it,
you know? Things you've done.

Amazing.

What's wrong?

Everything.

-Careful!
-Sorry, um...

Oh, I'm tired.

-I'm bloody worn out.
-Do you want me to drive?

OK.

Good idea. Yeah.

I've never been
into Canada.

OK. Let's um...
Let's pull over here.

Okey-dokey.
I'll get out, you slide over.

No, no, I said slide over.
You didn't have to get out.

Oh, God, now she thinks
she's going for a run.

Rinka, darling,
we're all getting soaked.

Oh, who's a silly thing?
Who's a silly thing?

You are.
You're the silly thing.

(NORMAN LAUGHS) Rinka!

(NORMAN CHUCKLES)
Come on, now.

Come on, now.
Come on, girl.

Yes, my darling. Mwah, mwah.

(THUD)

Oh, my God. It's you.

Your turn.

-(CLICK)
-Ahh!

(EMPTY GUN CLICKING)

(NORMAN GASPS)

Oh, fuck it! Fuck it,
fuck it, fuck it, fuck it!

Come on, come on, come on!

Fuck! Fuck!

(ENGINE REVS)

(TEARFULLY) No...

No!

(SOBBING) Oh, no.

-(HE SOBS)
MAN: Are you all right?

He shot my dog!

-He tried to shoot me!
-Who did?

Jeremy Thorpe.

Jeremy Thorpe did this.
It was Jeremy Thorpe!
