1
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,240
- Oh, yeah.
- A job well done, wouldn't you say?
2
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,719
Look at that!
3
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,438
You can't argue with 90 grand, can you?
4
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,795
But I do think
Stacie's a little bit frustrated.
5
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,031
- I did not fancy him.
- Yeah, right.
6
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,553
He was a mark.
7
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:11,677
- You did say he was cute.
- "Very cute," as I recall.
8
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,990
Yeah. Cute for a record collector.
9
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,117
Shouldn't knock record collectors, Stacie.
They have very deep pockets.
10
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,192
I'm not knocking him.
I just didn't fancy him.
11
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,192
- All right. Don't go on about it, Stace.
- I'm not.
12
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,430
You know,
I've a mind to get into record collecting.
13
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,555
Really?
14
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:29,518
Yeah, you get 5 grand a shot
for some Beatles albums.
15
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,273
- Charming young gentlemen.
- Have you met them, Albert?
16
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,591
Oh, yes, yes. I got all their autographs.
17
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,955
Really? They must be worth a fortune,
ain't they?
18
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,191
Yes. And every time I sell them,
they're worth even more.
19
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:42,829
Okay.
20
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:43,955
Yeah.
21
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,235
Stacie?
22
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,836
(MONITOR BEEPING)
23
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,479
So, who's the bird then?
24
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,996
Emily Shaw.
She and Stacie grew up together.
25
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,594
- What, the one with the charity?
- Yeah.
26
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,193
Oh, right.
27
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,840
So what happened to her? Do we know?
28
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,510
MICKEY: You said the Weekend World
had printed an apology.
29
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,876
STACIE: A paragraph on page nine.
Who's gonna read that?
30
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,872
Not after a front-page banner
saying she defrauded the charity
31
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,111
and stole from the children
she's been helping for years.
32
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,957
Will she recover?
33
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,918
I don't know. She's still unconscious.
34
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,913
If she doesn't,
it'll be the Weekend World's fault.
35
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,759
I'm gonna get those bastards.
36
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,274
- Stacie, I know you're upset.
- No, I mean it, Mickey.
37
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,079
If I was a man,
I would beat the crap out of them.
38
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,039
If I was a lawyer, I'd sue them.
But I'm neither.
39
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,829
I'm a grifter, so I'll use that.
40
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:24,990
Okay. We'll find a way.
41
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,388
Tabloids are powerful, Mickey.
They can destroy people.
42
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,118
I don't see
why you should all take that risk.
43
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,239
No, no, no, Stacie.
Come on, we will all find a way.
44
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,519
Thanks, Mickey.
45
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,031
Gentlemen.
46
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,712
Gentlemen, gentlemen.
47
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,633
We have a new mark.
48
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,997
The Weekend World
ran a sensational story,
49
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,793
accusing Emily Shaw of embezzling funds
from her own charity, Educate Africa.
50
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,595
Emily had withdrawn
a substantial cash sum,
51
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,830
but it was to pay for the building
of a new school.
52
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,071
Tribal leaders in the Sudan
don't take credit cards.
53
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,879
When this was pointed out to the World,
they printed a retraction.
54
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,632
A paragraph on page nine.
55
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,116
The editor, Francis Owen.
56
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,953
It was Owen and this man, Timothy Millen,
who ran the story on Emily.
57
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,393
- Danny?
- Yeah, I went to a couple of journo bars.
58
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,909
The word is that Owen gives "scum bag"
a whole new meaning.
59
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,310
Millen's just a sniveling creep,
but he is ambitious.
60
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,235
So Millen's probably easier to target,
and we can use him to get to Owen.
61
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:54,875
Ash?
62
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,996
Yeah, well, research has been difficult.
63
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,197
The one thing these people don't seem
to write about is themselves.
64
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:06,913
However, most of them have huge egos,
so we used the Who's Who of journalists.
65
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,437
- I didn't know there was one.
- There isn't, yet.
66

(TELEPHONE RINGING)
67
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,518
What?
68
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,679
I don't care if you have to wait there
all week, you sit on that doorstep.
69
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,432
Listen, when no one's looking,
70
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,399
try scraping a key
down the side of his flash convertible.
71
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,837
That should get a bloody reaction
out of him.
72
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,037
Look, I'll make it simple.
73
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,430
You get me a quote, or find a new job.
74
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,953
Tosser.
75
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,429
I see you got one of those
questionnaires as well, boss.
76
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,953
They sent you one?
77
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,600
Must have been a piece I did
about Camilla's cellulite.
78
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,752
- Well, what do you want?
- Got a bit of bad news, chief.
79
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:05,515
That Emily Shaw bird we did a story on
just jumped off a bridge.
80
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,309
- Looks like attempted suicide.
- You prat, Millen. Bad news?
81
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:10,799
That's the best news I've had all week.
82
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,791
You've lost me, chief.
We've only just run the apology.
83
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,714
Well, that's just it, you muppet.
If we run the attempted suicide,
84
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,837
it implies that we were telling the truth
all along.
85
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,150
- Yeah, but we weren't.
- Who cares?
86
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,597
- Innocent people don't commit suicide.
- They do if they're depressed.
87
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,514
You've been watching too many episodes
of Trisha, mate.
88
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,718
Get out of here and write it up.
Send her some flowers to sweeten her up.
89
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,872
- Show her we care.
- All right.
90
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,909
Hey, heavy on the suggestion,
the insinuation.
91
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,149
Okay.
92
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,235
What if... What if she dies?
93
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,834
Then she can't answer back, can she?

Oh, here we are.

00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,277
Story you'd most like to break.
"Edward declares he's gay.
100
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,511
"Marriage to Sophie is a sham."

What nice men.

00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,155
Bit of an obsession with the royal family,
don't you think?
105
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,276
Well, I ain't nicking
the crown jewels again.
106
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:31,995

00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:37,598
Francis Owen lists favorite food as "Martin
Townsend's heart grilled on toast."

Who's Martin Townsend?
109
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,952
He's the editor of the Sunday Express.
They're locked in a circulation battle.
110
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,519
Hate each others' guts.
111
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,078
What we need to do is come up with
the royal scoop of the century.
112
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,119
- What about Ash and Camilla?
- Why me?
113
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,272
Well, I ain't being funny, mate.
She's more your age than mine.
114
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,555
I don't believe it, Danny's getting choosy.
115
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,918
Don't get me wrong, love.
I love the older bird, much more grateful,
116
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,152
know their way around the sack,
but Ash would be perfect with it.
117
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,311
Now hold up, hold up, hold up.
There was a story my mum told me.
118
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,153
One of those, sort of,
royal urban legends, you know.
119
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,239
Now, I don't know if we could
make it work, but this legend has it
120
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:27,190
that the Queen Mum, right, God bless her,
wasn't the Queen Mum.
121
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,876
Hello. Yeah, Regal Resemblance?
122
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,951
Yeah.
How are you for young Queen Mums?
123
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,031
What a load of bollocks.
124
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,430
- Lovely mate. Got anything for me?
- Yep. There you go.
125
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,119
Nice one, Cyril.
126
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,276
- You on the job?
- Yeah, you?
127
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,558
- Yeah, Weekend World.
- Wow, I'd love to be in a national.
128
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,513
Who you with then?
129
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,433
Me? I've been at the Reading Courier
five or so years now.
130
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,512
Local news, Mayor's new
parking initiative, that sort of thing.
131
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,592
- Hold the front page, eh?
- Exactly.
132
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,108
- I'm Chris Carey.
- Tim Millen.
133
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,315
What? Sorry.
134
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,558
You're the Tim Millen?
135
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,753
What, you heard of me?
136
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,229
Heard of you? You're my bloody hero.
137
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,149
No, really.
138
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,758
"Prince Harry Dressed as a Hooker."
"Sophie Wessex, Fat or Pregnant?"
139

"Posh Finds Becks in the Loos."
140
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,511
Sure. You know your stuff.
141
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,592
Believe me, Tim,
it's time I moved up to the top table.
142
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,791
- What do you reckon on this?
- It's not a writ, is it?
143
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,519
No, no, no.
Research. Fast food restaurants.
144
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,512
What do you reckon they do
with all that fat they cook the food in?
145
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,996
Surprise me.
146
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,878
They dump it
in London's Victorian sewers.
147
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,319
All that grease getting clogged up
in the sewers in great disgusting lumps.
148
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,756
It's like a brilliant metaphor
for the arteries of the city
149
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,558
being clogged by all that fat.
150
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,996
How's about this for a metaphor?
Your story is about as much use
151
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,629
as a one-legged man
at an arse-kicking competition.
152
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,639
That's a simile.
153
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,754
- You're leaving?
- Places to be, matey.
154
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:22,119
Tim, Tim. Tim,
there is something else I'm working on.
155
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,239
It's... It's sensational.
I haven't quite nailed all the facts yet.
156
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,074
- But I think it's worth listening to.
- Okay.
157
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,630
You've got five seconds to interest me.
One. Two.
158
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,234
- Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon.
- Hey?
159
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,039
- The Queen Mum.
- Yeah, I know who she is, you muppet.
160
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,553
What about her?
161
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,357
I was doing some research in a hospice,
162
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,271
residents, you know,
complaining of ill-treatment.
163
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,113
- Not interested.
- No, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
164
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,830
One of the old dears grabbed me.
She'd been a maid at Buckingham Palace.
165
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,595
She had some incredible gossip
about the Queen Mum during the war.
166
00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:57,829
Well, let's hear it.
167
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,708
- Mr. Carey?
- Oh, Murphy. This is Tim Millen.
168
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,916
The Tim Millen from the Weekend World.
169
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,629
- Hello, how do you do?
- Mr. Millen.
170
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,679
Chris, I hope you haven't been
discussing our investigation?
171
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,274
You're not a journalist as well,
are you, Murphy?
172
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,430
- No, I'm not.
- I didn't think so.
173
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,638
You don't look like the bunch of slappers
we've got at the World.
174
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,551
Chris, I've made some real progress
with the case.
175
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,952
Now it's your call, but maybe we could
go somewhere else and discuss it?
176
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,990
Yeah, okay. Let's head over to Eddie's Bar.
177
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,277
She's right. Better not say anything
till I can stand all the facts up.
178
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,478
Still great to meet you, Tim, and big fan.
179
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:40,393
See you again. Read you again, all right.
180
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:03,435
What are those hotels called?
Yeah, travel cabins.
181
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,512
Give them a load of free papers
to hand out to guests.
182
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,194
We got to get our circulation figures up.
183
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,034
Gemma, when I'm being shafted week in,
week out by the Express,
184
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,838
I take it personally.
185
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,717
Where the hell have you been?
186
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,674
Chief, I've been...
187
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,230
I've been researching this feature
on fast food restaurants
188
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,630
and their impact on
the London sewage system.
189
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,871
The fat that's getting flushed down there
is actually congealing.
190
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,430
It's almost as if the arteries of London
are getting blocked up.
191
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,796
It's a very powerful simile.
I'm very excited about it.
192
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,913
That's it? That's what you been
working on? "Crap in the sewers shocker."
193
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,551
Tim, you are meant to be my top reporter.
I need a front page.
194
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,438
Get out there.
Get me a great bloody story!
195
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:50,714
Will do, sorry.
196
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,750
- Get me a coffee.
- You what?
197
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,035
I read your Robbie piece.
It's cack, do it again!
198
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,271
- What do you mean, "It's cack"?
- Just do it again!
199
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,712
- Hello, mate. The Blitz exhibition, please.
- Yeah.
200
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,873
NARRA TOR: sequel to the big blitz.
201
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,871
Visitors, their majesties
the King and Queen,
202
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:02,997
to districts in East London,
which suffered very severely.
203
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,152
The royal visitors were whole-heartedly
welcomed everywhere they went.
204
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,390
And everywhere they went,
their majesties saw
205
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,710
and admired the spirit of the people.
206
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,428
WOMAN: How do we look?
207
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,433
That'll do fine.
Now, let's get you in the frame, yeah?
208
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,152
Okay, rolling. Here she comes,
here she comes, here she comes.
209
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,435
She's there. She's in front of you, there.
Curtsy.
210
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,069
Lovely, right, and she's moving back
along down the line.
211
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,110
Yeah, hello, mate.
Listen, can you transfer DVD to 16 mil?
212
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,279
Stick them on the tab.
213
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,033
I've just remembered your tab.
You owe me 50 quid.
214
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,714
Danny owes you 50, yeah. I'm in character.
Chris Carey. Journalist?
215
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,028
You said you wouldn't forget. Remember?
216
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,109
- I haven't.
- Good.
217
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,235
I think.
218
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,789
- Yes, mate. What can I get you?
- Vodka and coke, please.
219
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,677
- Who's the bird?
- Eh?
220
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,070
Over there in the corner,
I'm sure I know her from somewhere.
221
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,550
That's Diane Murphy.
She's a private investigator, I think.
222
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,033
That's it.
223
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,752
Maybe that bloke with her is her client,
224
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,956
and his missus
is playing away from home.
225
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,033
Maybe. I think I'll go and say hello. Ta.
226
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,993
Good afternoon.
227
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,357
Tim, what are you doing here?
228
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,590
Don't tell me, it's a happy coincidence.
229
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,194
Well, thing is, you got me going, mate.
230
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,636
If you think you've got something on
the royals, I might be able to help you.
231
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,676
What have you told him, Chris?
232
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,796
Nothing, really.
233
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,474
Oh, there she is, the Queen Mum.
234
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:12,430
- God bless her.
- lf you don't mind.
235
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,156
So what's your angle? It's got to be good
if it's about the Queen Mum.
236
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,389
'Cause here's a little tip for ya,
237
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,553
on the big papers we tend to write about
the royals who are still alive.
238
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,755
Diana?
239
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,716
She's a... She's a special case.
240
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,638
Harold Felgate.
241
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,559
This is a special case.
242
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,031
Seriously, mate, if you decide to flog
your story to one of your provincial rags,
243
00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:46,671
no one's gonna take a blind bit of notice.
You'll still be a nobody, Chris.
244
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,995
If you wanna make a splash
with a royal story,
245
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,674
you've got to break it with a national.
246
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,035
I think we're gonna be fine
on our own, Chris.
247
00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:58,192
Look, no offense,
but you two are amateur hour.
248
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,192
I know more about the royal family
than you two ever will. You need me.
249
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,352
Really? Know it all, do you, Tim?
250
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,113
Lot more than you do, matey,
that's for sure.
251
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,395
Well, let me ask you this.
252
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,516
- Chris.
- No, no.
253
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,471
Where's the Queen Mother buried?
254
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,990
Well, that's a toughie.
St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
255
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,519
Really? You reckon? Because her son
says something very different.
256
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,717
Her son? She never had a son.
257
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,473
Please, Chris.
I think we need to leave now.
258
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,551
Yeah. I'll see you, Tim.
259
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,150
Hi, it's me. Get me a cab
to the Homage Hotel, pronto!
260
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,638
Weekend World, mate.
261
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,877
- Was Millen outside?
- Yeah, he was.
262
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,872
I need a couple of hours.
Emily's conscious.
263
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,234
That's good news.
264
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,710
Well, we'll just sit tight here. I'm sure
it won't be long before Millen bites.
265
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,758
See ya later, babe.
266
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,438
- Hello.
- Hi, Stacie.
267
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,993
How are you feeling?
We've been so worried about you.
268
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,111
I was an idiot to let it get to me.
I wasn't thinking straight.
269
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,791
But you're all right now?
270
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,710
And that's the main thing.
271
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,072
Wow. It's like a florist's in here.
Who bought you those carnations?
272
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,750
Would you believe it?
That monstrosity is from the World.
273
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,353
You're joking.
274
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,271
There's a get well card, too.
275
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,952
They want an interview?
276
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,996
Yeah, like that's gonna happen.
277
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,670
How can people do things like that?
278
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,868
- They're unbelievable.
- To make things up with no foundation?
279
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:47,995
Well,
280
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,757
maybe those bastards
will get what's coming to them.
281
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:06,829
Nothing.
282
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,319
Where's your story, Millen?
283
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,597
Chief. Something cooking, got a big lead.
284
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,513
The Queen Mother,
possible love child angle.
285
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,068
- You what?
- Could be a biggie.
286
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,515
Does the name Harold Felgate
mean anything to you?
287
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,068
- No.
- Well, I'm piecing it all together now.
288
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,516
So, I'll bring you something
as soon as it's all in place.
289
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,318
This better lead to something, Millen.
290
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:32,838
I want a story on my desk today,
or you might find yourself writing obits.
291
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,311
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
292
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,639
Hello.
293
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,951
Tony, how's life below stairs, mate?
294
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,510
- You got anything for me?
- Nothing at the moment, Tim.
295
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,192
The shutters have come down big time
296
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,238
since you ran that story
about Charles flogging off the silver.
297
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,436
Yeah, that was a cracker, wasn't it?
298
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,513
Listen, Queen Mother. War years.
299
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,639
Any rumors I should know about?
Secret trysts?
300
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,269
Could be nothing, but I keep hearing
the name Harold Felgate.
301
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:17,920
Felgate?
No, I haven't heard that name round here.
302
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,031
Listen, Tim. I've got to go.
303
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,674
Chris.
304
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,154
- Tim.
- You all right?
305
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,471
Yeah. So what are you doing here?
306
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,632
How would you like a job
on the Weekend World?
307
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,353
- And I get my own desk?
- Right next to mine.
308
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,557
What about money?
I'm on 20K at the Courier.
309
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,756
- We'll double it.
- Are you serious?
310
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,236
You let me help you with this story, Chris,
and everything will be negotiated
311
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,357
in good faith, down the line.
What do you say?
312
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,199
Who's that?
313
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,469
It's the young Queen Mum.
314
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,431
No, that's a lady called Cynthia Felgate.
315
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,149
You're winding me up.
316
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,232
No, no, no. I told you before.
The old dear at the hospice,
317
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:42,110
she told me the Queen Mum died of TB,
in '41.
318
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,510
If it got out, it would have been
disastrous for British morale.
319
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:50,037
I mean Hitler, Hitler described her as
"the most dangerous woman in Europe."
320
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:52,759
- She's the spitting image.
- Exactly. That's the point.
321
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,470
A commoner was found in the East End
who looked exactly like the Queen Mum.
322
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:02,236
This woman Cynthia Felgate was put
in her place. That's the story.
323
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,834
I followed it up, journalist's instinct, yeah?
324
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,674
- I deal in facts, not instinct.
- Yeah, well, me too.
325
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,395
That's why, out of my own pocket,
I hired Diane Murphy
326
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,075
to do a bit of digging around,
check the old girl's story out.
327
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,149
And?
328
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,636
She found Cynthia Felgate's son.
329
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,395
The geezer you've got
in the room upstairs?
330
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,040
- How do you know that?
- I've got my sources.
331
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,072
So what's the plan?
332
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,793
He's the only living relative.
333
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,192
He's the key
to blowing this whole thing wide open.
334
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,434
I wanna meet him. I want to meet the son.
That's the deal. Take it or leave it.
335
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:53,793
I thought you were an independent.
336
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,519
No, no, no. I'm at the Weekend World now.
337
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,433
Tim and I are covering the story together.
That's not a problem, is it?
338
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:00,589
Well, it might be.
339
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,035
My client still has the right to take
this story to the highest bidder.
340
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:05,554
- And who are you?
- Bob Sawgreen.
341
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,438
Managing Director of
Sawgreen Management, New York City.
342
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,669
You a lawyer?
343
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,072
No, I'm Mr. Felgate's publicist.
And as such, I decide who he talks to.
344
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,311
And since we haven't been paid a dime
to cover our expenses,
345
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,994
I may well advise my client to say nothing.
346
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:21,997
Hang on, Bob.
347
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,548
Your client would still be Joe Shmoe
from Poughkeepsie
348
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,789
if I had not dug this story...
349
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,154
Okay, let's just all chill out, shall we?
350
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,356
I'm on board now, Mr. Felgate,
and I can tell you
351
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,035
that my editor, Francis Owen,
will make you a very attractive offer.
352
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:36,351
Of that you have my word, okay?
353
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,074
You're twisting my nuts.
354
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,357
- Is that good?
- I don't think so.
355
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,351
You're telling me the Queen Mother
356
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,637
is actually an imposter
called Cynthia Felgate?
357
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,073
Exactly, chief.
358
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,912
This man is her son.
359
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,513
Harry?
360
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,115
Mr. Carey's call couldn't have come
at a better time for me. You see,
361
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,556
I've been living... I am living
in very reduced circumstances.
362
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:08,112
Gambling debts and so on, and after
the call I went right to Mr. Sawgreen here.
363
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,429
I advanced my client some funds,
paid some bills, things like that.
364
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:17,958
And we got some things out of storage,
which is where we found this.
365
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:19,789
What's that?
366
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,916
My client received this anonymously
through the mail
367
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,877
about, oh, a few years ago.
368
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,518
And if you see, chief,
369
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:31,709
it's actually postmarked February 2002,
a month before the Queen Mum died.
370
00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:36,319
So, Cynthia decided, on her deathbed,
371
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,949
to reach out to her long lost son?
372
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:42,236
- What you got in there?
- Proof.
373
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:49,270
We have Cynthia Felgate's
birth certificate,
374
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,311
pictures of her and Harold here
and herself.
375
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,958
Oh, and this.
376
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,951
Look, as you can see,
the resemblance is uncanny.
377
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:04,715
Cynthia was actually a few years younger
than the Queen,
378
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:09,555
and that's why they say
the Queen Mum lived so long, apparently.
379
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,958
I was told that my mother was killed
in the London bombing,
380
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,510
and that I was evacuated
to the US as an orphan.
381
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,791
- Do you mind if I hold on to these?
- Yeah, I don't see why not.
382
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:20,869
And this?
383
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,350
This is an old piece of film,
but I don't have any machine to run it on.
384
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,556
I'm sure we can sort that out for you.
385
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:32,476
Look, this is an interesting yarn,
but none of this amounts to proof.
386
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,790
Well, if you don't want it,
I'm sure another paper will.
387
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,711
Don't play hardball with me.
388
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,754
Even the Sport wouldn't run with this.
389
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,071
And they think that Elvis is living
on the moon.
390
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:49,109
If you want me to go to print with this,
I'll need something concrete.
391
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,909
Okay. Let's say...
Let's say we get you that.
392
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,275
What would a story like this be worth?
393
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,472
If I got all the rights?
394
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,953
Maybe quarter of a million.
395
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,235
Is that... Is that dollars or sterling?
396
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:16,589
Sterling.
397
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,270
We've got the birth certificate, chief.
398
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:25,195
She was born, she existed. Must be
a paper trail of documents somewhere.
399
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,920
Public records, library cards, all that crap.
400
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,199
We can piece her life together, chief.
401
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,349
This has got to be worth a punt.
402
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,395
You got till Saturday.
403
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,517
If it checks out, you got the front page.
404
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:51,589
Yes!
405
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,990
Before we get any further,
is anyone else worried?
406
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,393
- Problem, Danny?
- Yeah.
407
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,313
This is a risky con, Mick. It's a newspaper.
408
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,552
If this blows up, all of us,
faces in the tabloids. Knackered.
409
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,430
- Do you all want to pull out?
- No, no, no. We agreed. We can do this.
410
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:13,839
Can't we, Danny?
411
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,558
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
412
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:17,953
It's Millen.
413
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:25,596
Chris Carey. Hi, Tim. Yeah, lovely.
414
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,352
Yeah, I'll get there. Bye.
415
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,830
He wants to meet at Eddie's in an hour.
He's obviously buying it.
416
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,072
Maybe. But Owen isn't.
We've still got a long way to go.
417
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,073
All right, let's do it.
418
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,355
- Okay, Ash, you set up?
- Yeah, mate.
419
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,955
Good. Then I will meet you two
at Eddie's Bar in an hour.
420
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,958
Got the time, mate?
421
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,116
Michael Stone?
422
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,919
I work for Her Majesty's Government.
423
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,356
We've been monitoring
Francis Owen for some time.
424
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,829
The libelous stories
his paper continues to print
425
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,310
about the royal family
have become a matter of concern.
426
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,794
So why am I here?
427
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,793
Normally, we wouldn't bother ourselves
with your petty criminal activities.
428
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,632
But we are concerned about the lies
429
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,029
you're constructing
about the late Queen Mother.
430
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,951
You're telling me that the Queen Mother
431
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,350
was actually an imposter
called Cynthia Felgate?
432
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,873
This man is her son.
433
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,996
Be under no illusions.
434
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,395
Your lives won't be worth living
if you proceed.
435
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:57,749
Understand?
436
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,078
- Yes?
- Hello. Seen any of these?
437
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,439
Yeah, only next door
was riddled with them.
438
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:11,999
Can you clear out for a couple of hours?
439
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,753
- You got a mobile I can get you on?
- Yeah.
440
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,353
Yeah, well, I'll bell you
when we're through, all right?
441
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,158
You'd better come in a minute.
442
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,833
Is this the Harold Felgate film?
443
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,629
Yes, chief, I've put the clip on the
hard drive. I'll start trying to clean it up.
444
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,631
It's not just a case of
Photoshopping something.
445
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,950
The images are quite badly down-graded.
446
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,110
Get what you can off of it.
447
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:38,873
Where's Sawgreen?
448
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,078
- To be honest, I don't know.
- We should start without him.
449
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,438
Okay. Let's. I'll put that there.
450
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,872
So, questions.
451
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:55,112
The house where your mum lived,
do you remember where it was?
452
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,318
I'm trying to think.
453
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,433
- It was in the East End, yeah.
- East End.
454
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,229
And the number was something...
20, I think.
455
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,676
I've lived in so many houses
over so many years, it's just...
456
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,510
- Sorry, I...
- Hi. Where were you? We were worried.
457
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,193
So many streets. It's very confusing.
I got lost.
458
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,431
Invest in an A-Z mate. We ain't got time
for you to take the scenic route.
459
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,439
DANNY: Okay. So let's just
focus on this place.
460
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,833
The East End.
Anything else you remember?
461
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,509
Yes, there was a row of terraced houses.
462
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:37,914
Terraced?
463
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,437
Terraced houses? Well, that narrows
it down to about 4,000 streets.
464
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,355
- Diane, thanks for coming.
- Mr. Millen.
465
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,591
New arrangement in place, darling.
I'm on the team.
466
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,877
So now there's a pro running things,
you can take a backseat.
467
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,029
Hang on a minute, Millen.
468
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,588
You're firing me?
I haven't even been paid yet.
469
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,830
You're not fired.
Little bit out of order that, Tim.
470
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,239
No, it's not quite like that.
471
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,117
I just thought we'd get a better deal
at the World.
472
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,794
Calm down, love.
What is it? Time of the month?
473
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,199
Excuse me?
474
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,157
Oh, blimey. She's getting upset.
That's no good.
475
00:34:09,240 --> 00:34:12,277
The last bird I upset
ended up throwing herself in the Thames.
476
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:14,509
I'm not joking.
477
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,879
I don't like men like you, Millen.
You're scum and you ruin peoples' lives.
478
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,953
You write whatever you want, without
any thought for the people you hurt.
479
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,555
We sell two million copies,
week in, week out.
480
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,873
If there wasn't a market for it,
I wouldn't have a job.
481
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,512
And I respect that.
482
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,268
Just hope you can respect my work
in return.
483
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,316
Of course. I mean,
how would anyone ever get divorced
484
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,994
without people like you
sniffing round hotel rooms for them?
485
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,515
I've got that address that you wanted,
by the way.
486
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,354
- What address?
- The Felgate house.
487
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,034
Cynthia's name is on the deeds
of a house in the East End.
488
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,111
- Number 23. Paradise Street.
- Yeah!
489
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,952
- E2.
- That's it!
490
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:11,919
I'm impressed.
491
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,354
This is as good as it's going to get, boss.
492
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,552
- That's the Queen Mum in the East End.
- Hold it there.
493
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,116
That's Felgate all right.
There's the birth mark.
494
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,316
Can you move in any closer?
495
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,035
- Can you get me some stills of this?
- No problem.
496
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,628
Yeah, it's all coming back to me now.
497
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,355
There weren't any cars here of course.
498
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,839
We used to play football for hours
here in the road.
499
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,196
Anybody in? Hello?
500
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,350
You're wasting your time.
501
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,991
The yuppies are on holiday, again.
Bloody property developers.
502
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,674
There'll be no locals left before long.
503
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,719
Good afternoon. Can I just ask you,
have you lived here long?
504
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,233
All me life, son.
505
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,673
Can we ask you some questions?
506
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,479
If you're from the Council,
the dog's gone back to the kennel.
507
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,120
We're not from the council, mate.
We're from the Weekend World.
508
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,714
You from the Revenue, ain't you, eh?
509
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,997
No, no, he's just told you,
we're from the Weekend World.
510
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,640
I read the Mirror.
511
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:24,599
- Can you read this?
- I'll put the kettle on.
512
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:26,679
Come on.
513
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:40,832
I was only eight then, but I remember
the Felgates, Harry and Cynthia.
514
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,910
Oh, she was lovely, she was, yeah.
515
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:49,438
We used to call her Queenie,
on account of her resemblance to...
516
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,112
How well did you know them?
517
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,953
Well, I used to play with Harry, yeah.
518
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,034
But then one day they was...
They was just gone.
519
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,999
- What happened to Cynthia?
- Well, I... I don't know, son.
520
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,312
We were told she died, in the Blitz.
521
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:09,753
Yeah, maybe, maybe.
522
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:14,994
There was... There was many killed,
you know, night after night there.
523
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,594
Your name is Sean, isn't it?
524
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:23,559
How do you know?
525
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,758
Harry?
526
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,314
Oh, well, would you believe it?
Harry Felgate, yeah.
527
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,630
You're all grown up and American.
528
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,156
Here, here, you haven't still got
that bag of marbles I lent you, have you?
529
00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:49,515
No. I traded them for a skyscraper
in New York.
530
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,239
ALBERT: How about you?
I say, how about you?
531
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,634
Hold on.
532
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,792
Christ almighty.
533
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,716
- You say her name was Edna?
- Edna, yeah, number 19, I think.
534
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,438
Nineteen, and she was on the same side
of the street.
535
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,953
- Yeah, that's right.
- It is.
536
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,354
- Chief.
- Millen? What's going on?
537
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,590
Well, it's like a bloody family reunion here.
538
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,194
Seems our Harry was a big hit
with the neighbors.
539
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,592
He's checking out here as well.
Get everyone over, now.
540
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:35,669
Will do.
541
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,517
- Same brooch all right.
- That's absolutely incredible.
542
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,035
This is gonna be the scoop of the century.
543
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:49,758
It's not quite enough.
544
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,630
- You've got to be kidding me, chief.
- It's my mother's brooch for certain.
545
00:38:55,720 --> 00:38:58,871
They could've just had the same taste
in brooches.
546
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,191
That doesn't prove she was a stand-in
for the Queen Mum, does it?
547
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,509
That whole side of the story
is still circumstantial.
548
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,673
Didn't think that bothered people like you.
549
00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:12,879
It's a question of degree, my love.
550
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:17,954
Saying that Posh Spice had a boob job
isn't quite the same as saying
551
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,238
the dear old Queen Mum was an imposter
called Cynthia Felgate.
552
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,556
No, there's only one thing
that's gonna clinch this, I'm afraid.
553
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,073
What's that?
554
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,990
- You mean DNA?
- Yes.
555
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:49,555
Chief, how are we gonna get
the Queen Mother's DNA?
556
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,952
I know they've got her dressing table
as part of the royal collection, chief.
557
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,874
- I'll do it. I'll go in.
- No need.
558
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,794
I've got good connections at the Palace,
chief. I think I can swing it.
559
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,356
I mean if the Mirror can get a man in there
for three weeks,
560
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,431
I'm sure I can manage an afternoon.
561
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:10,274
Get the DNA back to the lab
by 8:00 Saturday night.
562
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,635
If it matches, we've got a story.
563
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:19,432
If it doesn't, I'll have a lovely photo
of you two on my front page, instead.
564
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,833
"The Men Who Tried
to Frame Francis Owen."
565
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,399
I like it.
566
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,069
Yeah.
567
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,588
That brooch was supposed to be
the clincher.
568
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,717
There's no way that my DNA is going
to match the Queen Mother's.
569
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,791
Well, there is a simple way around this.
570
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,917
Yeah, well, we ain't gonna dig up
the Queen Mum, are we?
571
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,719
No, of course not. Sorry, Albie.
572
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,119
That hurt.
573
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,398
- We'll have to plant Albert's DNA first.
- You are joking.
574
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,516
Millen's got an inside man.
We're never gonna get in there.
575
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,479
No, no, no, Stacie's right.
We can do this, Danny. We have to.
576
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,518
STACIE: Wow, where did you get
all this stuff, Ash?
577
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,158
Probably best you don't ask.
578
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:08,357
Now, time's everything.
Albert will be in contact with Danny,
579
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,192
and I'll pass it down the line to you.
580
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:11,679
Got it.
What about the surveillance cameras?
581
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,273
Yeah, that was tricky
with the short notice,
582
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,555
but I'll hack into the CCTV,
but I can't shut them down.
583
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,517
All I can do is track where you are
584
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,353
and see if Stacie's got enough time
to plant Albert's hair.
585
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,830
Apart from that,
you're on your own, all right?
586
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,715
You're late, you idiot. Put this on.
587
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,677
You ever tried running
without looking suspicious?
588
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,513
All the Queen Mum's stuff is on display
in the Queen Anne room.
589
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,238
- It's marked on that map.
- Right.
590
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,198
What are we actually looking for?
591
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:37,952
TIM: There's a cabinet containing
all her personal stuff.
592
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,349
Her hairbrush should be covered in DNA.
593
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,113
Hairbrush. In the Queen Anne Room.
594
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,509
These passes will get you inside and out.
595
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:50,116
The keys will open the display cases.
If anything goes wrong, I don't know you.
596
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,714
I've never met you,
and you didn't get this stuff from me.
597
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,677
All right, relax, mate.
You'll give yourself an ulcer.
598
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,751
There you go, three grand. Easy money.
599
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,797
- Are you getting all this, Albert?
- Yes. Now, see if you can hold him up
600
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,996
until Stacie and Michael
get to the Queen Anne room.
601
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:04,718
- Yeah, yeah.
- Aren't you ready yet?
602
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,190
- Just got a bit of a wedgie.
- Just come on, will you? Take that.
603
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,794
Listen, the only reason you're here is
if I go down, you go down with me.
604
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:16,352
Tim, Tim, I just want to say, before we...
You know, thank you for letting me in.
605
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,396
- Yeah, all right.
- And I just also want to say that...
606
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,597
Shut up! Stop arsing around
and let's get on with it!
607
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:23,795
Hello, mate.
608
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,074
Cheers.
609
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,832
Two tickets, please.
610
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,199
You going away this year?
611
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,191
- Where you going?
- Portugal.
612
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:52,474
Oh, very nice.
613
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,032
God, it's massive.
614
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:56,997
- Good afternoon.
- Afternoon.
615
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,629
- So is this the servants' quarters then?
- Keep it down, Chris.
616
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:02,233
- Sorry.
- You work here, remember?
617
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:03,548
Yeah, that's right.
618
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:08,395
- Regency Corridor is first floor.
- Regency Corridor, first floor.
619
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,109
They're heading to the Regency Corridor
on the first floor.
620
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,193
- Ash, we're in. Are you hooked up?
- Yeah, I can see you.
621
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,555
You need to head
to the Queen Anne room.
622
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,599
Millen's in the servants' quarters making
his way up to the Regency Corridor.
623
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,468
As soon as we pick him up, we'll go...
Oh, shit.
624
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,109
Oh, what a...
625
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,069
Don't do this to me.
626
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:36,629
Come on.
627
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,511
Oh, what a pile of crap.
628
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,431
We're just entering the Regency Corridor.
629
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,671
- So this is the Regency Corridor?
- Is it? I don't know.
630
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,512
How long before Millen gets here?
631
00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:51,676
Come on. Yes.
632
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,435
- Mickey, he's right on top of you.
- I could use a little help here.
633
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,080
Danny, Michael needs a diversion.
634
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,436
Millen, is it me or does Her Maj
look like one of the corgi's
635
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,750
has done a little bit of a whoopsie
under her nose?
636
00:44:07,240 --> 00:44:08,878
- What are you talking about?
- No, just...
637
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,235
- Just stop pissing about!
- Doesn't look happy, does she?
638
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:12,435
Help me work out where the hell we are.
639
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,637
Not like she does in the stamps,
when you see the smile.
640
00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:16,914
What?
641
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,070
I think this is... Oh, here we are.
It's upside down.
642
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:20,752
It's right, it's fine.
643
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:56,632
TIM: Are you sure this is the right way?
644
00:44:56,720 --> 00:44:58,756
DANNY: Definitely, definitely,
it's just straight down here.
645
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:02,838
Okay, Ash, we're here.
646
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:07,072
You're looking for the Queen Mum 's
hairbrush in the main cabinet.
647
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,549
The cabinet's in the middle of the room.
648
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:10,868
There are three cameras in total.
649
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:15,192
One on the door, two on the balcony,
each doing 180-degree rotation.
650
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,073
There's only a three-second window
651
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,550
when the cabinet isn't covered
by one of the cameras.
652
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,475
No, she'll never do it, Mick.
653
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,319
Danny can't hold Millen forever.
Stacie'll never beat the cameras.
654
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:45,112
The three-second clearance just isn't
enough. I think you should get out now.
655
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,192
No, no, wait, I may have a blind spot.
656
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:54,718
- Blind spot? I can't see it, mate.
- Trust me.
657
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,756
In 30 seconds, on my cue.
658
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,910
I don't see this blind spot, Mick.
659
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:15,912
She's in full view.
660
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:19,994
Excuse me.
661
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:25,473
Could you tell me where
the Prince Philip Collection is, please?
662
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:29,589
What the hell's going on?
663
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,272
- Ash, what's happening?
- I don't know, mate.
664
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,828
It's just gone, innit? Come on.
665
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:35,837
If you carry on down this corridor...
666
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:39,189
Come on!
667
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:42,508
All right, come on.
668
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:47,991
It's the second door on the left.
669
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,433
Come on, come on, come on.
670
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,754
I'm sorry. I got completely confused.
671
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:04,189
Jesus, where the hell are we?
672
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,748
I'm sure I saw some display cases
over there.
673
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,150
We're back here again, you tosser.
It's this way.
674
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,354
Danny can't stall Millen anymore.
675
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,236
Work you bastard! Yes!
676
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,637
I don't see them.
677
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:27,909
Where are they?
678
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,550
Mickey? Stace?
679
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,438
Well, I hope they've planted it,
because Millen's here.
680
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:38,991
There's a guard.
681
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,878
Do you want me to distract him
with a fake heart attack or something?
682
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,918
All you need is balls, Chris.
Just watch and learn, son.
683
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,070
All right, mate?
We got called in to fix a wonky latch.
684
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,151
Shouldn't take a minute.
685
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,670
All looks fine to me.
Don't know what the problem was.
686
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:36,635
Jesus.
687
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,155
Well, what happened? Did you do it?
688
00:48:41,240 --> 00:48:44,038
- I told you we'd found a blind spot.
- Well done, you two.
689
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,588
- Did Millen take the hair, Albie?
- Oh, yeah.
690
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,677
He's been bragging about it
for the last five minutes, listen.
691
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,557
There's only about three journalists
in the country
692
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:51,959
that would have had the balls
to do that, Chris.
693
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,032
Just wait till that gets round the city.
I'll never have to buy another drink again.
694
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,192
Okay, then, let's go see Owen
and pick up our check.
695
00:49:01,720 --> 00:49:05,235
Millen's gone down to the lab
with the DNA sample.
696
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,835
- I'm expecting a call from him any minute.
- Great.
697
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,799
So, can we talk about our 250 grand?
698
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,759
Why don't we wait to hear
what the lab has to say?
699
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:19,598
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
700
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:25,949
Owen here.
701
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:27,792
It's an exact match, chief.
702
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:29,474
Are you sure?
703
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,713
Positive.
704
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,672
Yep. Only ever see it with maternal DNA.
705
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,557
Thank you very much.
706
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,796
We have a deal.
707
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,632
- Yes.
- Excellent.
708
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,153
I knew it. I knew this story was a killer.
709
00:49:52,240 --> 00:49:53,878
I guess it's that time...
710
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,953
Yes, it certainly is. £250,000, as agreed.
711
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,118
Have you seen
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
712
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,079
What, the game show?
713
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,436
Where he writes the check
and then he goes,
714
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,556
"But I don't want to give you that."
715
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,074
- Sure.
- I love that bit.
716
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,277
Hey, now. What are you doing?
717
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,914
- Get out of my office.
- What?
718
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:38,597
Put yourself in my place.
Quarter of a million is a lot of money.
719
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,194
But this is my story.
720
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:45,592
I'm not going to give you an interview,
or the photos, or the film.
721
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,274
I don't need it. I've got a DNA match.
722
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:53,878
I can just say I uncovered the whole
scandal by using my diligent research
723
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:59,432
and my incredible nose for a story.
Which is why I'm a Fleet Street editor
724
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:03,195
and you are just a couple of punks
on the make.
725
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:04,952
I want my hair back.
726
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:11,028
- We'll take this story somewhere else.
- Too late, mate, the presses are running.
727
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,516
I'm gonna sue you.
I'll sue you for every penny you've got.
728
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:19,673
Be my guest. Are you familiar
with the British legal system?
729
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,196
My lawyers will tie you up
for the rest of your life.
730
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,158
Get out of here, I've got a paper to run.
731
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:27,229
Harry.
732
00:51:30,240 --> 00:51:32,708
- Chief, have I still got my job?
- Piss off!
733
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,152
(DOOR OPENING)
734
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,195
- So he stiffed us?
- I'm afraid so.
735
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:55,438
Given Owen's reputation,
I thought that might be the case,
736
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,990
so I came up with plan B.
737
00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:02,549
I'd like to see the editor,
Martin Townsend.
738
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,108
- Do you have an appointment?
- I called this morning.
739
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,475
So, what can I do for you?
740
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:08,754
How much would you pay me
741
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,796
to take down the editor
of the Weekend World?
742
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,833
£100,000, as agreed.
743
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:25,599
(DOORBELL RINGING)
744
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,870
Get away. Scum!
745
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,954
You and your bleeding plan Bs, Mickey.
746
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,270
MICKEY: Well, I can't take all the credit.
747
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:50,035
It appears that we weren't the only people
interested in the World.
748
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:55,079
Normally, we wouldn't bother ourselves
with your petty criminal activities.
749
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,276
But we are concerned about the lies
you're constructing
750
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,510
about the late Queen Mother.
751
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:02,791
Be under no illusions.
752
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:09,114
Your lives won't be worth living
if you proceed.
753
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:18,229
What if my intention was to bring down
the editor of the Weekend World?
754
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,397
My employers might have
some sympathy with that cause.
755
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,472
So, we can proceed?
756
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:29,314
On the condition that you tell no one,
whatsoever, about this meeting.
757
00:53:30,720 --> 00:53:33,188
Perhaps you may be willing to help?
758
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,798
- What blind spot? I can't see it.
- Trust me.
759
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:52,359
- We're here. Stacie's in position.
- Okay. We're on it.
760
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:57,635
Now.
761
00:53:58,520 --> 00:53:59,509
What...
762
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:01,235
Oh, shit.
763
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:02,753
What the hell's going on?
764
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:07,436
Could you tell me where
the Prince Philip Collection is, please?
765
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:09,639
Come on.
766
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,350
Hang on. They're back on.
767
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:14,879
Mickey, I tell you what, son.
768
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:16,632
You completely excelled yourself
on this one.
769
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:17,709
Great.
770
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,913

wasted our time, but check it out.

- Sorry.
- Hey.

- I knew we should have mentioned it.
- What?
774
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:35,436
Well, I thought it would be a nice gesture
for us to donate this to Emily's charity.
775
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,238
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
776
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,356
I thought we were ruthless con artists.
777
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,954
When did we turn into Robin Hood
and his merry bleeding men?
778
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:43,314
Just this once.
779
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,278
Yeah, well, I think Maid Marian here's
taking the piss.

Listen, she is a really good friend
who's been through a really tough time.
781
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,916
Yeah, well, so have I.
782
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,673
It's on the wire services. Owen's resigned.

00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,034
- Yay!
- Yeah!

00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:57,758
- Millen?
- Sacked.
785
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:01,310
Had to clear his desk
and marched out of his office by security.

STACIE: Poor thing.
787
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:04,837
Still, Millen's got that story you gave him
788
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,229
about the fat in the sewers,
hasn't he, Danny?
789
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:12,952
Did I say fat? Slip of the tongue.
I meant to say raw sewage.
790
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,596
All that work for no return.
791
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,910
STACIE: Come on, Danny.
We're hardly out of pockets.
792
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:28,911
What about the score
from the record collector?
793
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,434
Yeah. Well, what's wrong
with having two scores?
794
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:36,029
Danny, my dear boy,
those feelings you have inside...
795
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:37,149
Yeah?
796
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,556
...they're virtue and generosity
and contentment.
797
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:44,150
Really? How long before they wear off?
798
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,309
This is brilliant.
799
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:56,037
And this is just a little donation
from friends.
800
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,191
Thank you so much.
801
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:09,033
You know, Mick,
at first I was a bit surprised
802
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,793
those Ml5 boys were so keen
to bring down Owen.
803
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:12,869
Yeah?
804
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:18,550
But then I thought,
"What if our story was true?"
805
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,751
Oh, come on, Ash.
806
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,229
