Worricker. 106 00:10:04,142 --> 00:10:07,479 He's a shit. Alec, think of it his way. He's trapped. 107 00:10:07,479 --> 00:10:10,232 They're both trapped, the two of them. They're...panicking. 108 00:10:10,232 --> 00:10:12,818 They can't live in exile for the rest of their lives. 109 00:10:12,818 --> 00:10:17,156 I have to deal with all sorts of people - truly - people I can't even begin to describe to you...

Honestly. 112 00:10:22,078 --> 00:10:24,914 But I demand one thing - people have to stick to their word. 113 00:10:24,914 --> 00:10:28,001 What's he up to? What does he want? 114 00:10:28,001 --> 00:10:30,128 And this has happened before. 115 00:10:30,128 --> 00:10:32,506 He was meant to hand back that file. 116 00:10:32,506 --> 00:10:34,508 He went back on his promise. 117 00:10:34,508 --> 00:10:37,303 And now here we are, he's... done it again. 118 00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:40,932 But you don't actually know that. What, you think this item could be coincidence? 119 00:10:40,932 --> 00:10:43,142 Don't jump to conclusions, it may turn out to be innocent. 120 00:10:43,142 --> 00:10:46,062 Look at the wording - it's all pretty vague. 121 00:10:46,062 --> 00:10:50,776 We don't even know the name of the journalist. Well, exactly, but we know the paper. We know its editor. 122 00:10:50,776 --> 00:10:53,153 Yeah? You're a friend of Belinda's. 123 00:10:53,153 --> 00:10:56,782 Everyone's a friend of Belinda's.

Lady...Sheep-dip, Lady Cotswolds, I don't know. 126 00:11:03,581 --> 00:11:07,669 Which means she's not easy to reach. She's so rich, so posh... she doesn't give a fuck. 127 00:11:07,669 --> 00:11:10,213 That's the last thing we need. 128 00:11:10,213 --> 00:11:13,508 Alec...I don't like to see you rattled. 129 00:11:13,508 --> 00:11:16,804 You've done nothing wrong, remember?

Perhaps you'd like to tell me what's wrong with that? 136 00:11:35,574 --> 00:11:37,075 Well, you know what's wrong. 137 00:11:37,075 --> 00:11:41,789 The world is complicated. People have different interests. Public, private. It's how things are now. 138 00:11:41,789 --> 00:11:45,168 It's not a question of how it is, it's a question of how it appears. 139 00:11:45,168 --> 00:11:49,631 Especially when these same Americans have been caught ripping off the American taxpayer. 140 00:11:49,631 --> 00:11:52,592 They haven't been caught. Not in public. And they never will be. 141 00:11:52,592 --> 00:11:56,847 Which is why it's essential that you remain the public face of the foundation. 142 00:11:56,847 --> 00:11:59,016 Stirling, your hands are clean. 143 00:11:59,016 --> 00:12:01,477 Certainly are.

If only people would admit it. 147 00:12:09,777 --> 00:12:13,740 In one year Iran will have a nuclear weapon. 148 00:12:13,740 --> 00:12:16,785 What, I'm just supposed to ignore it? Just sit back, let it happen? 149 00:12:16,785 --> 00:12:20,289 Alec, you are the greatest politician of the age. 150 00:12:20,289 --> 00:12:22,291 Your enemies are plankton. 151 00:12:22,291 --> 00:12:25,002 Truly.

No, he wasn't. 155 00:12:34,971 --> 00:12:37,390 Then, why did you say it? 156 00:12:37,390 --> 00:12:39,434 Because it's a metaphor. 157 00:12:39,434 --> 00:12:41,520 And it's a joke! Huh, joke. 158 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,230 Alec, think about it, seriously. 159 00:12:43,230 --> 00:12:45,900 Your people are out there, they've got Europe locked down. 160 00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:48,945 By our count he's already moved at least five times. 161 00:12:48,945 --> 00:12:51,823 There's no plan to it. 162 00:12:51,823 --> 00:12:54,993 Worricker's moving zigzag, his brain's cotton wool, 163 00:12:54,993 --> 00:12:57,120 he's just a...rat on a map. 164 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,081 And when we get him? What? 165 00:12:59,081 --> 00:13:01,834 I mean, when he's caught him. Have you thought about that? 166 00:13:01,834 --> 00:13:06,172 Do you have any serious idea of what we then do with him? And the girlfriend. 167 00:13:06,172 --> 00:13:09,634 I've thought about it. Good, because that's the next stage. 168 00:13:09,634 --> 00:13:11,928 Alec, you're getting this out of proportion. 169 00:13:11,928 --> 00:13:15,473 No, getting him's the easy bit. It's what we do with him then. 170 00:13:35,161 --> 00:13:37,372 What d'you think? Pretty nice. 171 00:13:37,372 --> 00:13:39,332 You'd better enjoy it. 172 00:13:39,332 --> 00:13:42,669 Why?

I said. 184 00:14:17,707 --> 00:14:19,375 There's a room in the basement. 185 00:14:19,375 --> 00:14:20,877 Come on, then. 186 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,239 I need to be left on my own. 187 00:14:47,239 --> 00:14:49,116 It's national security. 188 00:15:04,507 --> 00:15:07,427 It's kind of you to make time for me. 189 00:15:07,427 --> 00:15:10,222 I wanted to see you because I'm deeply concerned. 190 00:15:10,222 --> 00:15:11,890 Have you seen this? 191 00:15:11,890 --> 00:15:13,726 Tell me about it. 192 00:15:13,726 --> 00:15:15,853 I know security's no longer your remit... 193 00:15:15,853 --> 00:15:18,856 I still get to see a lot of high-grade intelligence. 194 00:15:18,856 --> 00:15:20,441 It passes across my desk. 195 00:15:20,441 --> 00:15:23,278 Yes, that's at my insistence. Is it really? Yes. 196 00:15:23,278 --> 00:15:24,863 I didn't know that. Well, it is. 197 00:15:24,863 --> 00:15:29,576 I believe it's important in government that the most sensitive material 198 00:15:29,576 --> 00:15:32,871 is always seen by more than one pair of eyes. 199 00:15:32,871 --> 00:15:34,456 You'll have to explain. 200 00:15:34,456 --> 00:15:37,877 The Prime Minister's judgment has always been faultless. 201 00:15:37,877 --> 00:15:39,170 It certainly has. 202 00:15:39,170 --> 00:15:40,671 Don't get me wrong. 203 00:15:40,671 --> 00:15:42,757 He's a man who's called every major issue 204 00:15:42,757 --> 00:15:44,843 of the last ten years correctly. 205 00:15:44,843 --> 00:15:48,096 And you're close to him. I am. I'm very close. I owe him a great deal. 206 00:15:48,096 --> 00:15:52,017 He made you acting head of the service. More than that, he protected you. Yes. 207 00:15:52,017 --> 00:15:55,771 When you most needed protecting. I'm in his debt. But? 208 00:15:55,771 --> 00:15:58,899 But it's also healthy for government if there's a little air, 209 00:15:58,899 --> 00:16:02,403 a little...ventilation around important decisions. 210 00:16:02,403 --> 00:16:05,490 That way things don't get...cramped. 211 00:16:09,327 --> 00:16:11,997 I don't know if you heard about a murder in the Caribbean, 212 00:16:11,997 --> 00:16:13,832 a few months ago. 213 00:16:13,832 --> 00:16:16,877 Yes, I think I heard something. A man with a strawberry mark? 214 00:16:16,877 --> 00:16:18,671 That's him. Yes, I saw a picture. 215 00:16:18,671 --> 00:16:21,382 But, to be honest, it hasn't been my priority. 216 00:16:21,382 --> 00:16:22,592 I'm sure. 217 00:16:22,592 --> 00:16:25,178 I've had problems of my own. My errant husband. 218 00:16:25,178 --> 00:16:28,556 Well, of course we may be able to help you there. Sorry? Help me? 219 00:16:28,556 --> 00:16:31,977 I mean, we may be able to give you information you may not have. 220 00:16:31,977 --> 00:16:33,562 About your husband. 221 00:16:35,230 --> 00:16:36,857 Stuff you don't know. 222 00:16:44,949 --> 00:16:46,326 What sort of stuff? 223 00:16:49,704 --> 00:16:52,666 Go on. What you were saying about the murder. 224 00:16:52,666 --> 00:16:54,376 Have you heard of the Bridge? 225 00:16:54,376 --> 00:16:59,048 The Prime Minister's plan to continue statesmanship beyond his formal period of elected office? 226 00:16:59,048 --> 00:17:00,716 Yes. I've heard of it. 227 00:17:00,716 --> 00:17:03,719 Well, it was one of the donors to that project that was killed. 228 00:17:03,719 --> 00:17:08,641 Do we know who by? And we've had some questions recently about the project's financing. 229 00:17:08,641 --> 00:17:11,102 It's financing? Yes. How it's financed? 230 00:17:13,355 --> 00:17:18,485 Forgive me, but...I'm going to ask a question, because time is short. 231 00:17:18,485 --> 00:17:22,239 Oh, by all means. It's this - what's the subject of this meeting? 232 00:17:22,239 --> 00:17:24,492 What's the subject? Yes. Give me a headline. 233 00:17:24,492 --> 00:17:27,119 Say, I'm going home, this evening in the car, or in the bath, 234 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,583 and I think, "I met Jill Tankard today and we talked about..." 235 00:17:31,583 --> 00:17:34,544 What? What did we talk about? What was the subject? 236 00:17:34,544 --> 00:17:37,506 I've come in to open up a channel. What sort of channel? 237 00:17:37,506 --> 00:17:39,633 A channel of communication. 238 00:17:39,633 --> 00:17:41,385 To flag up potential trouble. 239 00:17:41,385 --> 00:17:45,765 It seems to me any trouble you're talking of isn't for me, it's for Alec. I think it may be. 240 00:17:46,849 --> 00:17:50,061 Frankly, Jill, what you're saying doesn't add up to much. 241 00:17:50,061 --> 00:17:52,272 Doesn't it? I don't think so. Why not? 242 00:17:52,272 --> 00:17:53,857 Because what's the beef here? 243 00:17:53,857 --> 00:17:56,193 In his eagerness for a life beyond Downing Street, 244 00:17:56,193 --> 00:18:00,197 the Prime Minister may have accidentally befriended some dubious characters. 245 00:18:00,197 --> 00:18:05,536 Crooks. So? What he'll do when he leaves government isn't strictly a matter FOR the government. 246 00:18:05,536 --> 00:18:12,961 Isn't it? Maybe not, but if people find out about it - and this reference is the first sign - 247 00:18:12,961 --> 00:18:15,797 then we may enter rough water. 248 00:18:15,797 --> 00:18:19,259 And in rough water it'll be to your personal advantage 249 00:18:19,259 --> 00:18:23,222 to be briefed about what's coming up before it actually happens. 250 00:18:26,892 --> 00:18:29,061 OK. And another thing... 251 00:18:29,061 --> 00:18:30,771 Yes? CIA's got a new boss. 252 00:18:30,771 --> 00:18:32,106 How does that affect us? 253 00:18:32,106 --> 00:18:35,568 He wants to draw a line under the excesses of the last ten years. 254 00:18:35,568 --> 00:18:38,864 Which ones? Private contractors ripping off the American public. 255 00:18:38,864 --> 00:18:40,282 And that's been bad news 256 00:18:40,282 --> 00:18:42,951 for a couple of the Prime Minister's friends. 257 00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:46,538 Tell me one thing. 258 00:18:47,706 --> 00:18:50,835 Is Johnny Worricker mixed up in this? 259 00:18:50,835 --> 00:18:53,671 Of course. And is he still on the loose? 260 00:18:53,671 --> 00:18:58,343 He's in Germany. He was in Switzerland, with a... former intelligence officer. 261 00:18:58,343 --> 00:18:59,552 A woman? 262 00:18:59,552 --> 00:19:02,013 We have real hopes of bringing them home. Soon? 263 00:19:02,013 --> 00:19:05,184 Very. Nearly had them this morning. An agent was out running. 264 00:19:05,184 --> 00:19:07,728 But? We lost them. 265 00:19:07,728 --> 00:19:09,063 How? 266 00:19:09,063 --> 00:19:11,315 Incompetence. 267 00:19:11,315 --> 00:19:16,738 So, meanwhile, you're offering me an inside track? 268 00:19:16,738 --> 00:19:19,074 You have it. For what reason? 269 00:19:19,074 --> 00:19:24,287 For the obvious reason. Because you're Beasley's natural successor. 270 00:19:24,287 --> 00:19:26,915 Hardly. Not at the moment I'm not. 271 00:19:26,915 --> 00:19:28,917 Not while my husband's all over the papers. 272 00:19:34,841 --> 00:19:36,300 We can deal with that. 273 00:19:38,386 --> 00:19:40,346 You can deal with the British press in full cry? 274 00:19:40,346 --> 00:19:42,140 I don't see why not. 275 00:19:42,140 --> 00:19:45,268 At MI5 we've never had any problem with the press. 276 00:19:45,268 --> 00:19:46,687 Really? 277 00:19:46,687 --> 00:19:51,108 Politics is fair game, national security isn't. 278 00:19:51,108 --> 00:19:54,028 They're like all bullies, they don't like being bullied back. 279 00:19:55,112 --> 00:20:01,494 My whole point ` the closer you get to us, the easier your life will be. 280 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:17,595 If I agree to this... channel, what's going to happen? 281 00:20:17,595 --> 00:20:19,639 I'm going to call you and we're going to meet. 282 00:20:19,639 --> 00:20:21,099 Where? 283 00:20:21,099 --> 00:20:24,144 In this room.

Think of it that way. 307 00:22:04,752 --> 00:22:07,964 We're feeling like prisoners, that's how they want us to feel. 308 00:22:07,964 --> 00:22:13,053 And do we have to stay relentlessly cheerful?

I sense it. How? 340 00:25:33,185 --> 00:25:39,275 Because that's how she came to us. From the BBC, remember? She broke the Jake Pierpan story. 341 00:25:39,275 --> 00:25:41,444 That peacenik with the drippy sister. 342 00:25:43,113 --> 00:25:46,783 Have you ever asked yourself why the sainted Allegra got that story? 343 00:25:46,783 --> 00:25:50,037 Or, more interesting, why did they give it to her? 344 00:25:50,037 --> 00:25:53,666 Maybe she's just a virgin who got lucky. 345 00:25:53,666 --> 00:25:56,794 Yeah, right.

I know that. 563 00:43:59,544 --> 00:44:03,382 It's not just whatever you think, or whatever anyone happens to tell you. 564 00:44:03,382 --> 00:44:05,050 There are editorial protocols. 565 00:44:05,050 --> 00:44:06,385 Have you ever heard of them? 566 00:44:06,385 --> 00:44:08,221 Of course.

And then we got caught out. 588 00:45:07,868 --> 00:45:10,246 Trouble came from an unexpected direction. 589 00:45:10,246 --> 00:45:12,832 Or rather it started coming from every direction. 590 00:45:12,832 --> 00:45:16,628 Suddenly we were told we were meant to be fighting a worldwide movement. 591 00:45:16,628 --> 00:45:18,129 And weren't you? 592 00:45:18,129 --> 00:45:20,799 Let's just say we got a bit careless about distinguishing 593 00:45:20,799 --> 00:45:23,552 between people who would like to do terrible things 594 00:45:23,552 --> 00:45:25,345 and people who were actually doing them. 595 00:45:25,345 --> 00:45:28,015 We became indiscriminate about the methods we used. 596 00:45:28,015 --> 00:45:32,603 It was dog eat dog. The only problem is, we're not dogs. 597 00:45:32,603 --> 00:45:35,356 Is "indiscriminate methods" a euphemism for torture? 598 00:45:35,356 --> 00:45:37,025 Torture's just part of an apparatus. 599 00:45:37,025 --> 00:45:40,862 An apparatus of bad practice, which is out of control 600 00:45:40,862 --> 00:45:45,450 and which I don't believe is helping anyone, least of all us. 601 00:45:45,450 --> 00:45:49,079 Meanwhile, politicians want to cut corners. Sure. 602 00:45:49,079 --> 00:45:51,999 Alec Beasley's been trying to reorganise the service. 603 00:45:51,999 --> 00:45:54,126 Reorganise it?

Well that's his right, isn't it? 606 00:45:58,423 --> 00:46:00,967 After all, he won a couple of elections. He certainly did. 607 00:46:00,967 --> 00:46:05,722 Because people like his strength. He has a mandate. That is democracy. 608 00:46:05,722 --> 00:46:08,350 And, speaking for myself, I have a great deal more faith 609 00:46:08,350 --> 00:46:12,479 in someone I've elected than some disgruntled intelligence officer - 610 00:46:12,479 --> 00:46:15,232 I'm assuming that's what you are - who arrives at my house 611 00:46:15,232 --> 00:46:18,027 with two cases of wine and an outsized grievance. 612 00:46:18,027 --> 00:46:22,782 I'm too young, but you may remember a prime minister called Harold Wilson. 613 00:46:22,782 --> 00:46:24,242 I do remember him. 614 00:46:24,242 --> 00:46:26,703 Didn't the security services spend a great deal of effort 615 00:46:26,703 --> 00:46:28,080 trying to get rid of him? 616 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:29,873 I don't think that's ever been proved. 617 00:46:29,873 --> 00:46:33,002 I didn't ask if it was proved, I asked if it were true. 618 00:46:33,002 --> 00:46:35,796 And I'm not trying to get rid of Beasley. Aren't you? 619 00:46:35,796 --> 00:46:38,466 No. I'm trying to put the facts in front of the public. 620 00:46:40,385 --> 00:46:44,097 You're a very plausible fellow, aren't you, whatever your name is. 621 00:46:44,097 --> 00:46:47,058 Remember, I'm a rat-catcher myself. It takes one to know one. 622 00:46:47,058 --> 00:46:49,728 And everything you say stinks to high heaven. 623 00:46:50,938 --> 00:46:52,106 Tell me why. 624 00:46:52,106 --> 00:46:55,025 No editor likes to be used. 625 00:46:55,025 --> 00:46:58,070 You may be burning to bring down a prime minister, but I'm not. 626 00:46:58,070 --> 00:47:00,198 That's not my intention. All I'm trying to do 627 00:47:00,198 --> 00:47:03,159 is throw a little light on some of his activities. 628 00:47:03,159 --> 00:47:05,745 Oh, I see, this is assisted killing, is it? 629 00:47:05,745 --> 00:47:09,207 You put the pill in the hand but you don't put it in the mouth. 630 00:47:09,207 --> 00:47:10,542 No. You leave that to us. 631 00:47:10,542 --> 00:47:12,753 I mean, just one more question - 632 00:47:12,753 --> 00:47:16,215 aren't you rather over-stretching your remit? I don't think so. 633 00:47:16,215 --> 00:47:18,884 I thought you were meant to gather secrets, not give them away. 634 00:47:18,884 --> 00:47:21,888 So far, I don't remember giving you any secrets. I thought you did. 635 00:47:21,888 --> 00:47:25,058 No. Everything you've been told has been on the public record.
