1
00:00:04,906 --> 00:00:04,906
This programme contains
some strong language.
2
00:00:06,946 --> 00:00:06,946
It seems I don't have two daughters,
I have three.
3
00:00:09,020 --> 00:00:09,020
I want to meet my father.I'd have
more confidence in your advice
4
00:00:11,626 --> 00:00:11,626
if the Prime Minister hadn't
found out as soon as I did.
5
00:00:13,906 --> 00:00:13,906
I need to be sure you can
stick to the story.
6
00:00:15,706 --> 00:00:15,706
Charmian Pepper has been killed.
7
00:00:17,148 --> 00:00:17,148
She'd just met a woman who was
willing to confirm Peter Laurence's
8
00:00:19,964 --> 00:00:19,964
stay in Washington.Officially,
he was paid to give a speech.
9
00:00:22,426 --> 00:00:22,426
Half a million dollars.
10
00:00:23,804 --> 00:00:23,804
British weapons killed three
British NGOs.
11
00:00:26,626 --> 00:00:26,626
We'll need a diversion.Good.
12
00:00:28,348 --> 00:00:28,348
Don't you know how close I am
to Dawn?
13
00:00:30,140 --> 00:00:30,140
People in your line of work
generally like to
14
00:00:32,316 --> 00:00:32,316
jump from raft to raft.
15
00:00:33,788 --> 00:00:33,788
Every politician expects to
be Prime Minister.
16
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:35,900
I'm going to have to think
about that one.
17
00:00:42,946 --> 00:00:42,946
Julia!
18
00:00:45,436 --> 00:00:45,436
Have you seen this?Tell me
what it is.
19
00:00:47,548 --> 00:00:47,548
Tomorrow's press digest.
20
00:00:48,892 --> 00:00:48,892
Then I've seen it.What the hell?
21
00:00:51,516 --> 00:00:51,516
How did this happen?I have no idea.
22
00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:53,820
That email was private!I drafted
it, remember?Did you keep a copy?
23
00:00:56,892 --> 00:00:56,892
It was sent on your private account
to the chair of the British
24
00:00:59,196 --> 00:00:59,196
Defence Group. No copies.
25
00:01:00,826 --> 00:01:00,826
Then how has it been leaked to
the press, Julia?
26
00:01:03,466 --> 00:01:03,466
"I assure you, Trevor, whatever
noises I make in public,
27
00:01:06,706 --> 00:01:06,706
"I will always defend the long-term
interests of
28
00:01:08,746 --> 00:01:08,746
"the British Defence Group."
29
00:01:11,164 --> 00:01:11,164
Well?What can I say,
Prime Minister?
30
00:01:13,546 --> 00:01:13,546
It's that word, "noises".
31
00:01:15,226 --> 00:01:15,226
Yes.Did you choose it?
32
00:01:17,052 --> 00:01:17,052
You approved it.That's not what
I asked!
33
00:01:19,356 --> 00:01:19,356
Makes me sound like a total
hypocrite, saying one thing
34
00:01:21,532 --> 00:01:21,532
in public and another in private.
35
00:01:23,324 --> 00:01:23,324
And I rang Trevor, I got him
out of bed.
36
00:01:25,564 --> 00:01:25,564
He said no-one else has read it on
the British Defence Group.
37
00:01:28,316 --> 00:01:28,316
He even deleted it. That's what
he said.
38
00:01:30,364 --> 00:01:30,364
That leaves one possibility.
39
00:01:32,284 --> 00:01:32,284
Someone has leaked it from
Downing Street!
40
00:01:35,266 --> 00:01:35,266
Now, I am looking at you, Julia.
41
00:01:37,788 --> 00:01:37,788
I'm looking you straight in the eye.
42
00:01:39,708 --> 00:01:39,708
Prime Minister, I don't have
children, so I can't swear
43
00:01:42,076 --> 00:01:42,076
on their lives, but ask yourself -
why would I do such a thing?
44
00:01:47,746 --> 00:01:47,746
It wasn't me.
45
00:02:35,026 --> 00:02:35,026
BUZZER
46
00:03:27,868 --> 00:03:27,868
OK. So, now I think I know who
your mother must be.
47
00:03:32,284 --> 00:03:32,284
I'm sure you've done your research.
48
00:03:34,908 --> 00:03:34,908
Can't imagine you'd be here
if you hadn't done background.
49
00:03:37,212 --> 00:03:37,212
You're Bella Gayle's daughter.
50
00:03:39,964 --> 00:03:39,964
Correct.
51
00:03:42,268 --> 00:03:42,268
Do you want to...?
52
00:03:48,988 --> 00:03:48,988
How is she?
53
00:03:50,626 --> 00:03:50,626
Not very happy about this meeting.
54
00:03:56,924 --> 00:03:56,924
Why did she tell you who I was?
55
00:03:59,506 --> 00:03:59,506
I had to fight pretty hard to get it
out of her.
56
00:04:01,596 --> 00:04:01,596
She never wanted to say.
57
00:04:03,004 --> 00:04:03,004
She was a determined woman.
58
00:04:05,052 --> 00:04:05,052
Still is.
59
00:04:06,716 --> 00:04:06,716
She was principled.
60
00:04:09,532 --> 00:04:09,532
Even so, that's a hell of a thing
to do,
61
00:04:11,626 --> 00:04:11,626
to raise a child without telling
her who her father is.
62
00:04:14,146 --> 00:04:14,146
I thought so.
63
00:04:17,404 --> 00:04:17,404
I never had the slightest inkling
that you existed.
64
00:04:20,796 --> 00:04:20,796
I think that's also part of
the reason why
65
00:04:22,908 --> 00:04:22,908
she never really wanted to
contact you.
66
00:04:26,748 --> 00:04:26,748
I wish she had.
67
00:04:28,796 --> 00:04:28,796
Do you really?
68
00:04:31,066 --> 00:04:31,066
I mean, would you have helped?
69
00:04:33,468 --> 00:04:33,468
Would you have taken me on at
the time?
70
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:35,900
That's a difficult question.
71
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:37,500
Why? Would you have wanted me
aborted?Rose...
72
00:04:40,188 --> 00:04:40,188
No, really, I'm asking you.
I was a different man.
73
00:04:42,620 --> 00:04:42,620
Right, is that a nice way of saying
yes?I was ambitious.
74
00:04:46,076 --> 00:04:46,076
And it wouldn't have made any
difference anyway, would it?
75
00:04:48,892 --> 00:04:48,892
Bella would have got what she
wanted. She always did.
76
00:04:54,012 --> 00:04:54,012
I know this is the question I'm not
supposed to ask,
77
00:04:56,508 --> 00:04:56,508
but why did you do it?
78
00:04:58,236 --> 00:04:58,236
Why did you rob the bank?
79
00:05:00,156 --> 00:05:00,156
You make it sound very romantic.
80
00:05:02,524 --> 00:05:02,524
Why did you defraud the bank?
81
00:05:04,426 --> 00:05:04,426
That's less romantic.
82
00:05:06,946 --> 00:05:06,946
I was a high-flyer.
83
00:05:09,372 --> 00:05:09,372
Fraud's quite common. It's more
common than anyone knows.
84
00:05:14,506 --> 00:05:14,506
High street banks try to cover
it up.
85
00:05:16,546 --> 00:05:16,546
They don't want their customers to
realise how easy it is.
86
00:05:19,548 --> 00:05:19,548
But in my case they decided to
prosecute.Why your case?
87
00:05:23,068 --> 00:05:23,068
Because they dislike me.
88
00:05:25,116 --> 00:05:25,116
And I stole a little bit more, so...
89
00:05:28,546 --> 00:05:28,546
I didn't want to give you my name
when we first got in touch.
90
00:05:31,964 --> 00:05:31,964
I thought maybe you'd remember
the case and it might have put you
off.
91
00:05:35,868 --> 00:05:35,868
I'd read the coverage. I thought
it was pretty racist.Yeah.
92
00:05:39,388 --> 00:05:39,388
Who'd have thought a woman of colour
would be clever enough to
93
00:05:41,986 --> 00:05:41,986
steal that much?
94
00:05:44,508 --> 00:05:44,508
What was your reason?
95
00:05:45,946 --> 00:05:45,946
The people at the top of the bank
were taking great big bonuses,
96
00:05:49,066 --> 00:05:49,066
just reaching their hands into
clients' money
97
00:05:50,986 --> 00:05:50,986
and calling it a salary.
98
00:05:53,506 --> 00:05:53,506
So, it was a protest?
No, it wasn't a protest.
99
00:05:55,666 --> 00:05:55,666
I just fancied proving something.
100
00:05:58,186 --> 00:05:58,186
Proving what, exactly?
101
00:06:00,106 --> 00:06:00,106
Proving that I was cleverer
than them.
102
00:06:03,836 --> 00:06:03,836
From what I've read, you like doing
that, too.
103
00:06:09,596 --> 00:06:09,596
And you?
104
00:06:12,226 --> 00:06:12,226
Me?Yeah, what should I know
about you?
105
00:06:14,626 --> 00:06:14,626
Then or now?Both.
106
00:06:18,492 --> 00:06:18,492
Uh, well, for many years, I...
107
00:06:21,116 --> 00:06:21,116
..I used to buy the papers on the
way to the Tube.Yeah, mum said.
108
00:06:24,586 --> 00:06:24,586
And I found myself just
lingering longer
109
00:06:27,004 --> 00:06:27,004
and longer every day as I realised
that Bella...
110
00:06:30,716 --> 00:06:30,716
..was probably going to be the most
interesting person I met that day.
111
00:06:37,820 --> 00:06:37,820
And that's how we started.
112
00:06:39,996 --> 00:06:39,996
PHONE BUZZES
113
00:06:43,004 --> 00:06:43,004
Wait, you're meant to give your
phone in.
114
00:06:45,346 --> 00:06:45,346
I'm the Minister of Justice.
115
00:06:50,748 --> 00:06:50,748
Sorry, I've kept you too long,
haven't I?
116
00:06:52,796 --> 00:06:52,796
Don't be silly. You haven't kept me.
117
00:06:55,066 --> 00:06:55,066
Does that mean that you'll
visit again?
118
00:06:58,492 --> 00:06:58,492
How much longer are you supposed to
be in here?
119
00:07:01,116 --> 00:07:01,116
It's about two years, I think.
Well, if I get parole.
120
00:07:07,452 --> 00:07:07,452
This place is a shithole.
121
00:07:09,706 --> 00:07:09,706
My friend has just died because
a guard
122
00:07:11,548 --> 00:07:11,548
couldn't work
a defibrillator properly.
123
00:07:14,748 --> 00:07:14,748
She hadn't been trained because
everything here is about money.
124
00:07:17,628 --> 00:07:17,628
They want to punish us on the cheap.
125
00:07:20,444 --> 00:07:20,444
And I want my father to do something
about it.
126
00:07:25,948 --> 00:07:25,948
I promise you I'll do one thing.
127
00:07:27,466 --> 00:07:27,466
I will come back and I will not let
you down.
128
00:07:30,620 --> 00:07:30,620
That's two things.Yeah.
129
00:07:34,396 --> 00:07:34,396
Can I ask you something else?
130
00:07:36,508 --> 00:07:36,508
Yeah.
131
00:07:37,980 --> 00:07:37,980
Will you own up to me?
132
00:07:44,266 --> 00:07:44,266
That is something I have to decide.
133
00:07:48,156 --> 00:07:48,156
KNOCKING
134
00:07:49,692 --> 00:07:49,692
Dame Vanessa.
135
00:07:52,546 --> 00:07:52,546
You sent for me.Yes, the minister's
been making unscheduled visits.
136
00:07:57,226 --> 00:07:57,226
I'm sorry?You haven't put them
in the diary.
137
00:07:59,804 --> 00:07:59,804
He's been going to Shephill to see
a woman called Rose Dietl.
138
00:08:02,386 --> 00:08:02,386
Do you know who that is?
It's not my business to know.
139
00:08:06,140 --> 00:08:06,140
Joy, the civil service accepts that
new ministers expect to bring
140
00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:10,620
fresh blood with them
when they arrive,
141
00:08:13,244 --> 00:08:13,244
but new blood needs to meet old
blood halfway.
142
00:08:18,172 --> 00:08:18,172
Am I interrupting?Not at all.
143
00:08:20,540 --> 00:08:20,540
Minister.Excuse me.
144
00:08:25,066 --> 00:08:25,066
I don't mean to disturb
you, Vanessa,
145
00:08:27,196 --> 00:08:27,196
but I was just looking over
the draft of my new bill
146
00:08:29,948 --> 00:08:29,948
and I'm confused.
147
00:08:31,786 --> 00:08:31,786
Everything I really care about,
the early parole
148
00:08:34,428 --> 00:08:34,428
and the alternatives to
incarceration...Yes.
149
00:08:37,308 --> 00:08:37,308
..it's not there.
It's just dropped off.
150
00:08:39,868 --> 00:08:39,868
I don't know if I'm missing
some pages
151
00:08:41,916 --> 00:08:41,916
or do I detect your hand in this?
152
00:08:43,906 --> 00:08:43,906
Minister, I know how deeply you feel
about prison reform.Indeed I do.
153
00:08:48,060 --> 00:08:48,060
But I think it's foolish to draft
provisions which have no
154
00:08:51,068 --> 00:08:51,068
chance of becoming legislation.
Isn't that for me to decide?
155
00:08:54,268 --> 00:08:54,268
This ministry takes a certain
professional pride in ensuring
156
00:08:58,556 --> 00:08:58,556
that our proposals are
thought through, practical,
157
00:09:01,186 --> 00:09:01,186
destined to end up on
the statute book.
158
00:09:04,316 --> 00:09:04,316
I don't see those proposals coming
in to that particular category.
159
00:09:07,906 --> 00:09:07,906
I'm worried that you may be
working on...
160
00:09:11,746 --> 00:09:11,746
..emotion.Is that such a bad thing?
161
00:09:14,026 --> 00:09:14,026
In this context, yes.
162
00:09:15,836 --> 00:09:15,836
If we lose faith in the idea
of prison,
163
00:09:19,228 --> 00:09:19,228
we move in to uncharted waters.
164
00:09:24,156 --> 00:09:24,156
Dame Vanessa,
165
00:09:25,308 --> 00:09:25,308
I don't know if you've noticed,
166
00:09:26,780 --> 00:09:26,780
but the government is in
uncharted waters.
167
00:09:29,026 --> 00:09:29,026
Right now, we are looking at
a no-confidence
168
00:09:31,068 --> 00:09:31,068
vote in the Prime Minister.
169
00:09:32,284 --> 00:09:32,284
That is what I would call
uncharted waters.
170
00:09:35,386 --> 00:09:35,386
I think you have been over-affected
by your visits to prisons.
171
00:09:39,226 --> 00:09:39,226
There's an element of personal
investment.
172
00:09:41,180 --> 00:09:41,180
Oh, yes, possibly, and possibly for
the better.
173
00:09:43,612 --> 00:09:43,612
If there were more people in this
place who actually had some
174
00:09:46,108 --> 00:09:46,108
intimate knowledge of what
goes on inside prisons,
175
00:09:48,412 --> 00:09:48,412
we might make better decisions.
New policies have to be tested.
176
00:09:51,946 --> 00:09:51,946
I am suggesting a pioneering trial
in one or two prisons only...No!
177
00:09:55,836 --> 00:09:55,836
..so that we see the effect, so that
there is an evidential basis...No!
178
00:10:00,252 --> 00:10:00,252
..on which any possible innovation
may be based, and we make changes
179
00:10:04,186 --> 00:10:04,186
that any of your possible successors
will be able to defend.
180
00:10:09,020 --> 00:10:09,020
Possible successors.
I see what's going on.
181
00:10:12,106 --> 00:10:12,106
It's foolish for civil servants not
to make provision for the future.
182
00:10:15,036 --> 00:10:15,036
A future that, in your case,
Dame Vanessa, you devoutly desire.
183
00:10:19,426 --> 00:10:19,426
Let me tell you, there is a reason
why this country has never
184
00:10:21,884 --> 00:10:21,884
moved in to the 21st century
and it's called the civil service!
185
00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:25,020
I am aware of your view, you've
made that plain.
186
00:10:27,516 --> 00:10:27,516
Any time any minister comes in to
office with any
187
00:10:30,140 --> 00:10:30,140
trace of passion or a serious idea
for change,
188
00:10:33,404 --> 00:10:33,404
there you are in the best traditions
of your calling, ready to
189
00:10:36,668 --> 00:10:36,668
throw a wet blanket over anything
that might improve people's lives!
190
00:10:40,666 --> 00:10:40,666
Restore the missing clauses to
the bill. That's an order.
191
00:10:45,372 --> 00:10:45,372
Is there anything else?
192
00:10:47,746 --> 00:10:47,746
Yes.
193
00:10:49,666 --> 00:10:49,666
I've had a visit and a couple of
calls from the director of Shephill.
194
00:10:52,668 --> 00:10:52,668
She seems to believe you have
a relative in her prison.Really?
195
00:10:58,428 --> 00:10:58,428
And how is that any business
of yours?
196
00:11:05,866 --> 00:11:05,866
Thank you, minister.
197
00:11:08,156 --> 00:11:08,156
No, thank you.
198
00:11:25,546 --> 00:11:25,546
And how's your boss?Bewildering.
199
00:11:27,868 --> 00:11:27,868
He was furious with me for pursuing
his daughter.
200
00:11:31,324 --> 00:11:31,324
Now he's met her, he seems full of
beans.Why?
201
00:11:33,948 --> 00:11:33,948
I have no idea.
202
00:11:35,626 --> 00:11:35,626
Does he thank me for getting them
together? Does he buggery.
203
00:11:40,220 --> 00:11:40,220
For the first time ever, I feel like
he's drifting away from me,
204
00:11:42,716 --> 00:11:42,716
and I don't know why.
205
00:11:44,892 --> 00:11:44,892
He's up to something.
206
00:11:48,156 --> 00:11:48,156
What about yours?Rattled.
207
00:11:50,524 --> 00:11:50,524
She doesn't know which way to jump.
208
00:11:52,444 --> 00:11:52,444
Mind you, she thinks it's going to
blow over.
209
00:11:58,716 --> 00:11:58,716
And is it?
Oh, ask me again in a week.
210
00:12:10,556 --> 00:12:10,556
Mr De Banzie asked if we'd go in
round the back.
211
00:12:14,146 --> 00:12:14,146
Of course. Any reason?
212
00:12:16,636 --> 00:12:16,636
No reason, why do you ask?
213
00:12:18,826 --> 00:12:18,826
No, I just wondered, sir.
214
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:21,500
Security, I think.
215
00:12:30,466 --> 00:12:30,466
They're just over there.
Right. Thank you.
216
00:12:36,106 --> 00:12:36,106
Peter.Adam, good to see you.
You know Trevor's joining us?
217
00:12:41,596 --> 00:12:41,596
No, I did not, but always happy to
see Trevor. How are you?Peter.
218
00:12:46,460 --> 00:12:46,460
Well, it seems like your
tormentor is dead.
219
00:12:51,964 --> 00:12:51,964
Yes. Yes, I read about that
in the papers.
220
00:12:56,266 --> 00:12:56,266
Yeah, I was quite taken aback.
221
00:12:59,026 --> 00:12:59,026
Do we know anything more?
Do we need to?
222
00:13:02,746 --> 00:13:02,746
Well, she was still pursuing me.
223
00:13:04,956 --> 00:13:04,956
In spite of losing the case,
she was still after me.
224
00:13:06,946 --> 00:13:06,946
Well, she's not any more.
225
00:13:10,186 --> 00:13:10,186
No.
226
00:13:12,764 --> 00:13:12,764
Did you know she was in
Washington?Did we?
227
00:13:15,708 --> 00:13:15,708
I don't remember.
228
00:13:18,268 --> 00:13:18,268
Look. Peter, you once told me
your motto.
229
00:13:21,980 --> 00:13:21,980
What was my motto?
230
00:13:23,266 --> 00:13:23,266
Always put the past behind you.
231
00:13:24,946 --> 00:13:24,946
That's what you said.
You've lived by that.
232
00:13:27,586 --> 00:13:27,586
Yes, her death is tragic, but for
you, it might be a stroke of luck.
233
00:13:32,386 --> 00:13:32,386
That's all you need to know.
234
00:13:34,972 --> 00:13:34,972
She was a drunk. Even before she
died, we made a decision.
235
00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:39,900
We should have done it weeks ago,
actually, after the trial.
236
00:13:43,036 --> 00:13:43,036
We've decided to close down
British-American.
237
00:13:45,468 --> 00:13:45,468
Mm.We had a board meeting
yesterday by conference call,
238
00:13:48,476 --> 00:13:48,476
we decided to make a clean cut.
239
00:13:50,652 --> 00:13:50,652
It's served its purpose.
240
00:13:52,426 --> 00:13:52,426
The staff are being let go.All
of them? That's necessary, is it?
241
00:13:56,746 --> 00:13:56,746
Or else we wouldn't have done it,
would we?
242
00:13:58,588 --> 00:13:58,588
But what's the thinking here?
243
00:13:59,996 --> 00:13:59,996
You're not worried that shutting it
down now might draw more attention
244
00:14:03,132 --> 00:14:03,132
rather than less?No, it will be
done quietly.
245
00:14:06,106 --> 00:14:06,106
Your trial caused a lot of
unwelcome publicity.
246
00:14:09,404 --> 00:14:09,404
We've kept British-American under
the radar for years
247
00:14:12,732 --> 00:14:12,732
and suddenly, we're seeing the name
in print,
248
00:14:15,106 --> 00:14:15,106
and the board didn't like it.
249
00:14:17,148 --> 00:14:17,148
But you'll start up another
think tank?Eventually.
250
00:14:20,540 --> 00:14:20,540
Different name, different personnel,
same philosophy.
251
00:14:23,228 --> 00:14:23,228
Get the US and the UK as close as
we can.
252
00:14:26,812 --> 00:14:26,812
It's a great shame, though,
isn't it?
253
00:14:28,476 --> 00:14:28,476
I mean, we had good times,
didn't we?
254
00:14:30,268 --> 00:14:30,268
Some very good times.
255
00:14:32,060 --> 00:14:32,060
Sure, I was in Washington,
of course I was,
256
00:14:34,684 --> 00:14:34,684
arguing from deep experience that
the only way the NHS is going
257
00:14:37,786 --> 00:14:37,786
to survive is by bringing in
private expertise.
258
00:14:40,426 --> 00:14:40,426
Opening it up is sensible
and humane.
259
00:14:43,260 --> 00:14:43,260
It's going to save lives.
260
00:14:45,628 --> 00:14:45,628
But of course, I'm not allowed to
say that, so I lied.
261
00:14:48,188 --> 00:14:48,188
I had no choice.That's life.
262
00:14:50,172 --> 00:14:50,172
I can talk about privatisation,
you can't.
263
00:14:52,426 --> 00:14:52,426
TREVOR CHUCKLES
As I remember,
264
00:14:54,268 --> 00:14:54,268
you took your money through
a company called Stanfield Titles.
265
00:14:57,106 --> 00:14:57,106
Is that right?Yes.
In the Virgin Islands?
266
00:15:01,308 --> 00:15:01,308
Yes.You need to wind that up, too.
As soon as you can.
267
00:15:04,316 --> 00:15:04,316
Adam, I haven't used that company
in years. It's virtually defunct.
268
00:15:07,196 --> 00:15:07,196
Good, so get rid of virtually.
269
00:15:12,706 --> 00:15:12,706
Now, I take it you've seen Dawn's
contribution to today's news?
270
00:15:16,546 --> 00:15:16,546
In disbelief. How could
she have done something so stupid?
271
00:15:20,060 --> 00:15:20,060
She's weak, she panics.We always
knew that about her.
272
00:15:23,266 --> 00:15:23,266
She got carried away, straight
choice to make between being
273
00:15:25,756 --> 00:15:25,756
strong or being liked.
She made the wrong choice.
274
00:15:28,828 --> 00:15:28,828
But even so, sending such
a stupid email.
275
00:15:31,260 --> 00:15:31,260
That's what I'm saying, pure panic.
276
00:15:33,308 --> 00:15:33,308
If I can't get export licences for
fighter jets,
277
00:15:37,084 --> 00:15:37,084
then I choke to death and Britain
chokes with me.
278
00:15:40,092 --> 00:15:40,092
What are you just saying? You leaked
the email?
279
00:15:42,268 --> 00:15:42,268
As a matter of fact, not.
But you know who did?
280
00:15:45,020 --> 00:15:45,020
Oh, Peter, we don't give a damn who
the Prime Minister is,
281
00:15:47,324 --> 00:15:47,324
we really don't, as long as
whoever it is
282
00:15:49,116 --> 00:15:49,116
lets us get on with our work.
283
00:15:53,532 --> 00:15:53,532
You look a bit uncertain, Peter.
No, it's nothing.
284
00:15:57,244 --> 00:15:57,244
If the three of us can't speak
frankly after all
285
00:15:59,420 --> 00:15:59,420
we've done for each other,
then who can?
286
00:16:01,306 --> 00:16:01,306
Well, there is something I should
warn you about.Oh, go on.
287
00:16:04,186 --> 00:16:04,186
It's a technical thing, but I put
Stanfield Titles in my wife's
288
00:16:07,786 --> 00:16:07,786
name, so if I'm going to wind it up,
I'm going to need Helen's signature.
289
00:16:11,026 --> 00:16:11,026
There's no reason why that should be
a problem, is there?
290
00:16:19,786 --> 00:16:19,786
CHATTERING
291
00:16:27,516 --> 00:16:27,516
Joe, have you seen?Oh, yep.
Shark's in the swimming pool.
292
00:16:31,786 --> 00:16:31,786
Did you know she was coming?
293
00:16:35,068 --> 00:16:35,068
Fish her out before she does
any damage.
294
00:16:39,036 --> 00:16:39,036
Joe.Gillian.
295
00:16:41,788 --> 00:16:41,788
We see you so rarely.
296
00:16:44,746 --> 00:16:44,746
Would you like to come through
and talk to us?
297
00:16:47,548 --> 00:16:47,548
I should like that very much.
298
00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:55,100
Just clear this.
299
00:17:02,652 --> 00:17:02,652
Right.
HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
300
00:17:04,906 --> 00:17:04,906
You, uh, down from Scotland?
301
00:17:07,906 --> 00:17:07,906
Yes, I came overnight,
and I'm going back this evening.
302
00:17:11,386 --> 00:17:11,386
The trains are terrible.
303
00:17:14,428 --> 00:17:14,428
Yes. We've mentioned it in
the paper.
304
00:17:17,052 --> 00:17:17,052
That's kind.
305
00:17:22,364 --> 00:17:22,364
Is there anything in particular?
306
00:17:24,988 --> 00:17:24,988
The decision to return to
the Peter Laurence business?
307
00:17:27,996 --> 00:17:27,996
Well, we're not returning to it.
Really?No, we're developing it.
308
00:17:31,452 --> 00:17:31,452
Taking it to a new level.You ran
a story about his daughter.We did.
309
00:17:35,626 --> 00:17:35,626
Taking drugs in Leeds.
310
00:17:37,468 --> 00:17:37,468
Yes, the pictures were newsworthy.
She's over 18.
311
00:17:40,348 --> 00:17:40,348
They are of legitimate public
interest.
312
00:17:42,652 --> 00:17:42,652
It's the subject of a complaint to
the body for press regulation.
313
00:17:46,906 --> 00:17:46,906
With respect, I'm not trembling
at that prospect.
314
00:17:49,546 --> 00:17:49,546
Well, perhaps you should be.
I've spoken to friends.
315
00:17:53,148 --> 00:17:53,148
Which friends are they?
316
00:17:54,876 --> 00:17:54,876
The consensus is we look small
and vengeful.
317
00:17:58,306 --> 00:17:58,306
We look like bad losers.
318
00:17:59,868 --> 00:17:59,868
We've lost to Peter Laurence in
court. To our friends,
319
00:18:02,146 --> 00:18:02,146
it doesn't look like journalism,
it looks like a vendetta.
320
00:18:05,180 --> 00:18:05,180
I think I should inform you of
our plans.
321
00:18:07,786 --> 00:18:07,786
We have new information
with which we hope
322
00:18:10,186 --> 00:18:10,186
we can fight the court's verdict.
Exactly, that's my point.
323
00:18:13,186 --> 00:18:13,186
We're fighting everything at
a loss, so far, of
324
00:18:15,946 --> 00:18:15,946
1.5 million pounds.
Well, that's my point.
325
00:18:18,172 --> 00:18:18,172
We're trying to get our money back.
Our money?
326
00:18:20,988 --> 00:18:20,988
HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
Yours, Gillian.
327
00:18:23,036 --> 00:18:23,036
Before she died,
328
00:18:24,466 --> 00:18:24,466
Charmian Pepper interviewed an
ex-employee of British-American.
329
00:18:27,946 --> 00:18:27,946
Do I really need to hear this?
330
00:18:29,386 --> 00:18:29,386
Hasn't that unfortunate girl
caused us enough grief?
331
00:18:32,026 --> 00:18:32,026
The witness confirmed that Laurence
was indeed in Washington
332
00:18:35,266 --> 00:18:35,266
when he claims to have been in
New York.
333
00:18:37,436 --> 00:18:37,436
Now, he got paid for facilitating
access for American private
334
00:18:41,532 --> 00:18:41,532
health providers to the NHS. He'd
been a junior minister at Health!
335
00:18:45,756 --> 00:18:45,756
He sold his expertise.I see.
We have it on tape.
336
00:18:49,340 --> 00:18:49,340
We collected the recording after
Charmian's death.
337
00:18:51,708 --> 00:18:51,708
If it's as conclusive as you say,
why have you not published it?
338
00:18:56,986 --> 00:18:56,986
I'd like to know.
339
00:19:00,412 --> 00:19:00,412
We're having to tread carefully.
340
00:19:02,746 --> 00:19:02,746
Our lawyers and insurance
company are being unnecessarily
341
00:19:05,866 --> 00:19:05,866
cautious after what happened
last time.
342
00:19:08,626 --> 00:19:08,626
We're also doing background on his
time as a landlord.
343
00:19:11,266 --> 00:19:11,266
There are big questions as to
some of the things that
344
00:19:13,468 --> 00:19:13,468
went on in his properties.
345
00:19:14,812 --> 00:19:14,812
So, if you can't get him on one
thing, you go after him for another?
346
00:19:17,866 --> 00:19:17,866
Honestly, it's not like that.
No, isn't it?
347
00:19:20,316 --> 00:19:20,316
I've never even met Peter Laurence.
348
00:19:22,186 --> 00:19:22,186
I don't know the man, but I have met
his wife.
349
00:19:24,156 --> 00:19:24,156
You're talking about Helen?
350
00:19:25,628 --> 00:19:25,628
Yes, I heard her choir singing at
St John's Smith Square.
351
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:28,700
They were transcendent.
352
00:19:30,428 --> 00:19:30,428
You could be endangering the future
of this newspaper
353
00:19:35,386 --> 00:19:35,386
because of an obsession.
354
00:19:36,828 --> 00:19:36,828
We think of it as
investigative journalism.
355
00:19:39,226 --> 00:19:39,226
Always with the same target?
356
00:19:41,436 --> 00:19:41,436
We look small, Joe.
357
00:19:43,676 --> 00:19:43,676
I very rarely interfere in
editorial policy,
358
00:19:46,306 --> 00:19:46,306
but I do not want to be known as
a proprietor who carries a grudge.
359
00:19:49,308 --> 00:19:49,308
We are at the point of confirming
Charmian Pepper's original story.
360
00:19:53,866 --> 00:19:53,866
That issue was settled in court!
361
00:19:56,866 --> 00:19:56,866
If you go on with this, I shall have
no alternative.
362
00:20:00,316 --> 00:20:00,316
Alternative to what?
363
00:20:01,596 --> 00:20:01,596
Please don't make me spell it out.
364
00:20:05,386 --> 00:20:05,386
I hope I've made myself clear.
365
00:20:08,636 --> 00:20:08,636
I hate unpleasantness.
366
00:20:12,946 --> 00:20:12,946
Well?
367
00:20:17,340 --> 00:20:17,340
There'll be no unpleasantness.
368
00:20:20,028 --> 00:20:20,028
Good.
369
00:20:33,660 --> 00:20:33,660
Every day I wake up and read your
paper.I know.
370
00:20:37,564 --> 00:20:37,564
Well?
371
00:20:39,106 --> 00:20:39,106
That's why I wanted to see you,
so I could tell you.
372
00:20:43,906 --> 00:20:43,906
We've hit an unforeseen problem.
373
00:20:49,546 --> 00:20:49,546
Is that hers?I'm sorry.
374
00:20:51,946 --> 00:20:51,946
Does that mean you're not going
to publish?
375
00:20:55,548 --> 00:20:55,548
We're not.
376
00:20:59,266 --> 00:20:59,266
HE SIGHS
Look. My advice is...
377
00:21:03,466 --> 00:21:03,466
..take it elsewhere.Oh, yes.
378
00:21:06,364 --> 00:21:06,364
I can get disbarred for this,
379
00:21:07,906 --> 00:21:07,906
and now you want me to go and trust
someone like I trusted you?
380
00:21:11,266 --> 00:21:11,266
I've got the names written
down here. Just a couple of
381
00:21:14,108 --> 00:21:14,108
editors I think might take it.
382
00:21:21,148 --> 00:21:21,148
I had a visit.What sort of visit?
383
00:21:23,324 --> 00:21:23,324
From my proprietor.
384
00:21:26,204 --> 00:21:26,204
She told me this is not something
I am to pursue.Why not?
385
00:21:30,556 --> 00:21:30,556
She's lost a lot of money already,
she doesn't want to lose any more.
386
00:21:33,756 --> 00:21:33,756
Is that the real reason?
387
00:21:36,586 --> 00:21:36,586
She likes choral music, she thinks
Helen Laurence is a nice woman,
388
00:21:40,306 --> 00:21:40,306
maybe she wants Helen's husband to
be Prime Minister. Someone got to
her.
389
00:21:44,508 --> 00:21:44,508
Take your pick.
390
00:21:45,788 --> 00:21:45,788
She's a Scottish aristocrat,
391
00:21:47,196 --> 00:21:47,196
who knows what the fuck goes on
in her head.She stopped you.
392
00:21:49,756 --> 00:21:49,756
She stopped me under threat of
losing my job.
393
00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:52,700
That's how it is.
394
00:21:54,706 --> 00:21:54,706
You go any further, we're in
the same boat.
395
00:22:10,306 --> 00:22:10,306
Your receipt. Have a nice day.
Thank you.
396
00:22:17,660 --> 00:22:17,660
I don't believe it.Hello, Bella.
397
00:22:20,284 --> 00:22:20,284
You've seen her.
398
00:22:22,716 --> 00:22:22,716
Yes, I have.I hope you don't mind
me asking,
399
00:22:24,586 --> 00:22:24,586
but I wonder if you could do me
a selfie?
400
00:22:26,428 --> 00:22:26,428
Well, actually, I've just got to
have a quick chat with a friend of
mine.Oh, right,
401
00:22:29,756 --> 00:22:29,756
I'm sorry to have bothered you.No,
no, it's fine.Thank you. Goodbye.
402
00:22:33,020 --> 00:22:33,020
You're popular.
403
00:22:37,756 --> 00:22:37,756
I never thought this day would come.
404
00:22:41,404 --> 00:22:41,404
You were never going to tell me.
Why not?
405
00:22:46,588 --> 00:22:46,588
Because I wasn't sure you'd be
a good father.
406
00:22:49,788 --> 00:22:49,788
That hurts.I wasn't sure you'd
even admit to her.
407
00:22:53,180 --> 00:22:53,180
You have a dim view of me.
408
00:22:54,588 --> 00:22:54,588
And I've had a long time to think
about it.
409
00:23:00,860 --> 00:23:00,860
I wanted to be responsible for my
own life, not depend on a man.
410
00:23:06,108 --> 00:23:06,108
Come on, give me a drag.
Are you sure?
411
00:23:08,476 --> 00:23:08,476
I only do this with you.
412
00:23:12,892 --> 00:23:12,892
She was doing really well.
Good education. I was proud of her.
413
00:23:19,356 --> 00:23:19,356
Then she...blew up,
414
00:23:21,724 --> 00:23:21,724
and I don't know why.
415
00:23:24,476 --> 00:23:24,476
She had everything anyone could ever
want, but she still got angry.
416
00:23:29,386 --> 00:23:29,386
I did my best.
417
00:23:31,906 --> 00:23:31,906
But I couldn't control her.
418
00:23:35,868 --> 00:23:35,868
I saw her, and I liked her,
genuinely.
419
00:23:43,426 --> 00:23:43,426
If I go public, Bella...
420
00:23:46,684 --> 00:23:46,684
..then we're going to be naked in
a hurricane. All three of us.
421
00:23:50,268 --> 00:23:50,268
It's you who's well-known.Yeah,
but I'm used to it. You're not.
422
00:23:54,364 --> 00:23:54,364
The press would be all over you,
it's brutal, I promise.
423
00:23:56,988 --> 00:23:56,988
You'd do that for her?
424
00:23:59,164 --> 00:23:59,164
You'd risk your career for her?
425
00:24:03,388 --> 00:24:03,388
Peter Laurence, if you let her down
at this point,
426
00:24:05,756 --> 00:24:05,756
I'm never going to forgive you.
427
00:24:07,786 --> 00:24:07,786
You'll be joining a queue.
428
00:24:09,826 --> 00:24:09,826
You do this properly or not at all.
429
00:24:50,026 --> 00:24:50,026
Sir.
430
00:25:00,796 --> 00:25:00,796
Door was open.
431
00:25:02,396 --> 00:25:02,396
After three years, I've developed
a sort of psychic gift.
432
00:25:06,748 --> 00:25:06,748
I'm hoping it's going to stay
with me.
433
00:25:08,866 --> 00:25:08,866
I can sense when you're in the area.
Close it.
434
00:25:12,956 --> 00:25:12,956
I'm sorry I haven't been in touch.
435
00:25:15,586 --> 00:25:15,586
I was shaken by what happened.
436
00:25:18,652 --> 00:25:18,652
And you think I wasn't?
437
00:25:22,306 --> 00:25:22,306
I was appalling. I apologise.
438
00:25:25,948 --> 00:25:25,948
I was rattled that night,
and I wanted to tell you that
439
00:25:28,426 --> 00:25:28,426
my family had found out about you.
440
00:25:30,556 --> 00:25:30,556
Sure.
441
00:25:33,116 --> 00:25:33,116
You don't seem surprised.
442
00:25:35,932 --> 00:25:35,932
Here.
443
00:25:37,340 --> 00:25:37,340
It's the one you like.
444
00:25:48,732 --> 00:25:48,732
Now, sometimes you happen to catch
sight of yourself in the mirror
445
00:25:51,586 --> 00:25:51,586
when you're not expecting it,
and you go, "Who on Earth is that?"
446
00:25:56,668 --> 00:25:56,668
Maybe that's what happened to me
the other night.
447
00:26:00,956 --> 00:26:00,956
Who's that ridiculous woman?
448
00:26:04,348 --> 00:26:04,348
You are not ridiculous.
449
00:26:06,396 --> 00:26:06,396
I gave up a perfectly good job
in Texas.
450
00:26:08,956 --> 00:26:08,956
I'm sorry, I...
451
00:26:11,266 --> 00:26:11,266
..I don't know what you're getting
at.
452
00:26:12,826 --> 00:26:12,826
I don't have a trace of self-pity,
453
00:26:14,268 --> 00:26:14,268
I just know it's time for us
to stop.
454
00:26:16,906 --> 00:26:16,906
No, no. There's no need.
455
00:26:18,748 --> 00:26:18,748
That's what I came around to say.
456
00:26:20,988 --> 00:26:20,988
I can handle this. I promise,
it's not a problem.Isn't it?
457
00:26:24,316 --> 00:26:24,316
Madeleine, we can go on.
And I don't want to go on.
458
00:26:29,308 --> 00:26:29,308
If you look at it my way, you could
say I used you.
459
00:26:32,636 --> 00:26:32,636
I needed you to put me back together
when I lost my son,
460
00:26:35,196 --> 00:26:35,196
but now if I'm to survive,
I need to move on.
461
00:26:40,066 --> 00:26:40,066
Madeleine, I love you.
462
00:26:43,786 --> 00:26:43,786
You say that now it's over.
463
00:26:53,146 --> 00:26:53,146
I'd say gather up your things, but
you don't really have any, do you?
464
00:27:26,908 --> 00:27:26,908
What does she want with you
this time?
465
00:27:28,828 --> 00:27:28,828
Well, pretty soon you're going to
find out. Contain your excitement.
466
00:27:32,540 --> 00:27:32,540
But since she's got herself in
a bloody great hole,
467
00:27:34,844 --> 00:27:34,844
I imagine she's going to want me
to dig her out of it.
468
00:27:39,388 --> 00:27:39,388
REPORTERS SHOUTING
469
00:27:47,026 --> 00:27:47,026
Ah, good, the Prime Minister's
waiting.
470
00:27:49,308 --> 00:27:49,308
We came as fast as we could.
No, we didn't.
471
00:27:51,612 --> 00:27:51,612
We didn't run. The Prime Minister
knows Justice is eight minutes away.
472
00:27:55,068 --> 00:27:55,068
You can come in!
473
00:27:56,668 --> 00:27:56,668
You can also give me an explanation.
474
00:28:00,380 --> 00:28:00,380
You go on ahead, I'll see you there.
475
00:28:12,156 --> 00:28:12,156
Dawn, I would love to explain if
you can tell me
476
00:28:15,356 --> 00:28:15,356
what I'm meant to be explaining.
Peter, I'll put it bluntly.
477
00:28:18,946 --> 00:28:18,946
I promoted you. Any prominence you
have is entirely down to me.
478
00:28:22,786 --> 00:28:22,786
Not entirely.So, let me ask you
why you're not out there
479
00:28:26,556 --> 00:28:26,556
fighting to save my premiership?
480
00:28:29,180 --> 00:28:29,180
Oh, I see.
481
00:28:31,612 --> 00:28:31,612
Things are going that badly,
are they?
482
00:28:33,276 --> 00:28:33,276
Usually you can't get enough
publicity,
483
00:28:35,068 --> 00:28:35,068
you and the limelight are in some
kind of permanent romance.
484
00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:37,500
Now for the first time in years,
you've fallen silent.
485
00:28:39,740 --> 00:28:39,740
I heard you on All Talk.
486
00:28:41,596 --> 00:28:41,596
Your support for me was less
than wholehearted.
487
00:28:44,626 --> 00:28:44,626
Do you think so?
488
00:28:46,140 --> 00:28:46,140
Maybe I misjudged my tone.
489
00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:50,300
I'm facing a confidence motion.
490
00:28:53,052 --> 00:28:53,052
From Stinking Bishop?
491
00:28:55,426 --> 00:28:55,426
Yes.Surely you don't take
him seriously?
492
00:28:59,324 --> 00:28:59,324
He's a piece of ripe Tory gammon,
but he's gaining votes fast,
493
00:29:02,332 --> 00:29:02,332
and you're saying nothing.
I'm not saying nothing.
494
00:29:04,906 --> 00:29:04,906
You're standing on the sidelines.
495
00:29:06,586 --> 00:29:06,586
The Prime Minister's requesting
more vocal support.
496
00:29:08,924 --> 00:29:08,924
Yeah, I got that. Thank you.
I make one small error of judgment.
497
00:29:12,828 --> 00:29:12,828
A private message, that's all.
498
00:29:14,876 --> 00:29:14,876
I was tired, I was fatigued, it was
a moment's inattention,
499
00:29:19,356 --> 00:29:19,356
viciously leaked from I don't
know where,
500
00:29:22,236 --> 00:29:22,236
and I'm facing a confidence motion.
501
00:29:23,900 --> 00:29:23,900
You...Me?
502
00:29:25,666 --> 00:29:25,666
You're up to your neck in...
503
00:29:29,660 --> 00:29:29,660
You lawyer your way out of the libel
courts by the skin of your teeth.
504
00:29:34,306 --> 00:29:34,306
High wire doesn't do it,
more like Houdini.
505
00:29:37,066 --> 00:29:37,066
You were for sale,
or near as dammit,
506
00:29:39,466 --> 00:29:39,466
and you pay no price for it.
507
00:29:41,948 --> 00:29:41,948
Why?
508
00:29:43,676 --> 00:29:43,676
How does that work out? Do we put
it down to misogyny?
509
00:29:47,626 --> 00:29:47,626
Could be.
Could also be down to character.
510
00:29:53,148 --> 00:29:53,148
Character?Yeah.
511
00:29:55,906 --> 00:29:55,906
Yours or mine?
512
00:29:57,948 --> 00:29:57,948
You were always respected as
a cautious leader.
513
00:30:00,636 --> 00:30:00,636
It was your strength.
514
00:30:02,386 --> 00:30:02,386
So, when you did something careless,
people got unreasonably angry.
515
00:30:07,484 --> 00:30:07,484
You just spoke about me like I was
in the past tense.
516
00:30:10,906 --> 00:30:10,906
I didn't mean to.
517
00:30:17,386 --> 00:30:17,386
Can I warn you, Peter,
518
00:30:19,306 --> 00:30:19,306
lately, I've been briefed about
your private life.
519
00:30:22,426 --> 00:30:22,426
Please go on.Specifically about
your family.
520
00:30:27,644 --> 00:30:27,644
What about my family?
521
00:30:29,266 --> 00:30:29,266
About how it's larger than anyone
had hitherto known.
522
00:30:33,706 --> 00:30:33,706
Larger.
523
00:30:36,476 --> 00:30:36,476
If you're talking about my
unacknowledged daughter...I am.
524
00:30:40,426 --> 00:30:40,426
..her existence is not exactly
news to you.
525
00:30:43,132 --> 00:30:43,132
My impression is that you've
known for some time.
526
00:30:45,346 --> 00:30:45,346
Almost as long as I have.
527
00:30:47,386 --> 00:30:47,386
Just an instinct, I could be
wrong, but...
528
00:30:49,724 --> 00:30:49,724
Yes, I have recently discovered that
I have a third child.In prison.
529
00:30:53,756 --> 00:30:53,756
Yes.
530
00:30:55,306 --> 00:30:55,306
She's had some bad luck in her life.
Bad luck?
531
00:30:58,108 --> 00:30:58,108
She swindled a bank.
532
00:30:59,516 --> 00:30:59,516
She was trying to walk away with
£1 million. How's that bad luck?
533
00:31:02,908 --> 00:31:02,908
She was angry.What's she got to be
angry about?
534
00:31:07,324 --> 00:31:07,324
Believe me, in the unlikely
event that
535
00:31:10,426 --> 00:31:10,426
I lose this confidence vote, I shall
do everything in my power to
536
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:14,300
ensure that whoever is my successor
showed me loyalty throughout.
537
00:31:21,946 --> 00:31:21,946
Now, I very much doubt you want
the public
538
00:31:24,284 --> 00:31:24,284
to know about Rose "Ditel".
539
00:31:26,746 --> 00:31:26,746
Dietl.
540
00:31:30,466 --> 00:31:30,466
But if she is the unlucky victim
that you make her out to be,
541
00:31:33,826 --> 00:31:33,826
I suggest for her sake, as well
as your own,
542
00:31:36,636 --> 00:31:36,636
you think very carefully about it.
543
00:31:41,386 --> 00:31:41,386
So, Peter...
544
00:31:43,906 --> 00:31:43,906
..do I have your support?
545
00:31:46,620 --> 00:31:46,620
You have it.
546
00:31:49,066 --> 00:31:49,066
Good.
547
00:31:51,946 --> 00:31:51,946
Julia tells me you're going to be on
Prebble tonight.
548
00:31:54,620 --> 00:31:54,620
Julia is well-informed.Always.
549
00:31:57,756 --> 00:31:57,756
Well, I shall be watching
550
00:31:59,676 --> 00:31:59,676
and I shall expect to be
pleased in what I see.
551
00:32:02,626 --> 00:32:02,626
You should be campaigning for me,
unreservedly.
552
00:32:05,564 --> 00:32:05,564
Is that understood?
553
00:32:24,764 --> 00:32:24,764
REPORTERS SHOUT
Do you think the Prime Minister
554
00:32:26,876 --> 00:32:26,876
can survive this?Peter, do you have
a statement to make?
555
00:32:29,506 --> 00:32:29,506
Will you be supporting
the Prime Minister?
556
00:32:31,676 --> 00:32:31,676
Do you know who leaked
the email, minister?
557
00:32:37,372 --> 00:32:37,372
Broadcasting House.
558
00:32:55,906 --> 00:32:55,906
So, what was that about? What
happened?I'll tell you later.
559
00:32:58,428 --> 00:32:58,428
One thing at a time.
560
00:33:01,372 --> 00:33:01,372
Hello, there. Hello.Nice to
meet you, Peter.Nice to see you.
561
00:33:04,426 --> 00:33:04,426
How are you? How are you? Yes.
562
00:33:07,708 --> 00:33:07,708
Good evening, tonight I am
speaking with
563
00:33:10,186 --> 00:33:10,186
the Secretary of State for Justice,
Peter Laurence.
564
00:33:13,852 --> 00:33:13,852
Good evening, Sian.
Good evening, minister.
565
00:33:16,220 --> 00:33:16,220
So, I'll start off with - do you
think it's possible for
566
00:33:19,228 --> 00:33:19,228
the Prime Minister to win a vote of
confidence in the House of Commons?
567
00:33:22,492 --> 00:33:22,492
Of course it is.
The rules are obscure.
568
00:33:25,116 --> 00:33:25,116
She may prefer to hold a leadership
election within the party.
569
00:33:28,188 --> 00:33:28,188
To be honest, I haven't discussed
the choice with her.
570
00:33:31,004 --> 00:33:31,004
And would you yourself be
interested in standing?
571
00:33:33,226 --> 00:33:33,226
We are nowhere near that,
nowhere near.
572
00:33:35,292 --> 00:33:35,292
I'm getting on with the work
of my department, and of course,
573
00:33:37,724 --> 00:33:37,724
I've let the Prime Minister know
that she has my full support.
574
00:33:40,220 --> 00:33:40,220
You do seem to be setting about
the job at Justice with an axe.
575
00:33:43,306 --> 00:33:43,306
Ah, well, I wouldn't say an axe.
576
00:33:45,020 --> 00:33:45,020
Uh, I would hope it's more targeted,
more forensic than that.
577
00:33:48,106 --> 00:33:48,106
Gardening shears, maybe.
578
00:33:49,692 --> 00:33:49,692
Some people have charged you with
caring more about the criminal
579
00:33:52,786 --> 00:33:52,786
than you do about the victim.
580
00:33:54,428 --> 00:33:54,428
That is quite ridiculous.
581
00:33:56,796 --> 00:33:56,796
It is true that I am constantly
shocked by the squandering
582
00:34:00,828 --> 00:34:00,828
of human potential.
583
00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:02,300
That's something I know a little bit
about from my own experience.
584
00:34:05,986 --> 00:34:05,986
And what experience is that?
I have some...
585
00:34:10,066 --> 00:34:10,066
..personal knowledge of what goes on
in British prisons.
586
00:34:12,988 --> 00:34:12,988
You mean beyond your professional
responsibility?
587
00:34:16,786 --> 00:34:16,786
Yes.
588
00:34:18,946 --> 00:34:18,946
I've not spoken about this before,
589
00:34:20,626 --> 00:34:20,626
but I have a daughter who is serving
a sentence right now, in jail.
590
00:34:26,300 --> 00:34:26,300
In fact, in Shephill.
591
00:34:28,348 --> 00:34:28,348
And I've only recently discovered
that she's...
592
00:34:32,386 --> 00:34:32,386
Uh, well, let's say that I had no
knowledge of her existence,
593
00:34:36,156 --> 00:34:36,156
and finding out about her has been
one of the best things that's ever
594
00:34:38,908 --> 00:34:38,908
happened in my life.
595
00:34:41,026 --> 00:34:41,026
Many years ago, I had a child that
I knew nothing about.
596
00:34:45,436 --> 00:34:45,436
Her name is Rose, and she and I are
now reconciled.
597
00:34:48,828 --> 00:34:48,828
And she is a prisoner?
598
00:34:52,220 --> 00:34:52,220
Correct.
599
00:34:53,756 --> 00:34:53,756
JULIA!
600
00:34:56,386 --> 00:34:56,386
Most people, I think, will be
astonished...
601
00:34:59,388 --> 00:34:59,388
What the hell is this?
..by your revelation and wonder
602
00:35:02,460 --> 00:35:02,460
whether you've been forced to
make it.
603
00:35:04,444 --> 00:35:04,444
All of this is completely voluntary.
I'm saying it because I want to.
604
00:35:07,546 --> 00:35:07,546
He wants to get it out of the way
before he makes his move
605
00:35:09,948 --> 00:35:09,948
for the leadership. Is that what
he's thinking?
606
00:35:12,508 --> 00:35:12,508
With Peter you never know.
607
00:35:14,626 --> 00:35:14,626
Of course I am fully aware that this
will cause a great deal of hurt
608
00:35:17,628 --> 00:35:17,628
to my family and those around me.
609
00:35:19,186 --> 00:35:19,186
I am the guilty one here, there's no
question about that.
610
00:35:21,724 --> 00:35:21,724
There's also no point in pretending
that my daughter committed
611
00:35:24,604 --> 00:35:24,604
a small crime. She didn't,
she committed a big one.
612
00:35:27,466 --> 00:35:27,466
And does it worry you at all,
613
00:35:29,532 --> 00:35:29,532
the effect that this admission
may have on your political career?
614
00:35:32,266 --> 00:35:32,266
You use that word admission.That
many people within your party...
615
00:35:34,972 --> 00:35:34,972
You're making it sound as if this is
someone I should be ashamed of.
616
00:35:37,980 --> 00:35:37,980
I don't mean that you
should, however...
617
00:35:40,066 --> 00:35:40,066
I am not ashamed, in fact, quite
the opposite. I'm proud.
618
00:35:42,652 --> 00:35:42,652
I'm proud of my daughter.
I'm proud that she exists.
619
00:35:45,020 --> 00:35:45,020
This is the 21st century.
620
00:35:46,556 --> 00:35:46,556
I think people understand that we
don't all live faultless lives.
621
00:35:50,780 --> 00:35:50,780
I've made terrible mistakes,
and I've paid for them,
622
00:35:54,044 --> 00:35:54,044
but my daughter is not a mistake.
623
00:35:56,540 --> 00:35:56,540
And just to be clear, I'm saying
this now because she wants me to.
624
00:36:00,706 --> 00:36:00,706
And I think it's about time that she
was listened to.
625
00:36:03,466 --> 00:36:03,466
For many years, she's lived
a shadow existence,
626
00:36:06,226 --> 00:36:06,226
in a good home with a good mother,
627
00:36:08,316 --> 00:36:08,316
but now, I want my daughter to be
part of my life.
628
00:36:14,652 --> 00:36:14,652
Thank you, minister.Thank you.
629
00:36:18,620 --> 00:36:18,620
The game's in play.
What's the verdict?
630
00:36:21,466 --> 00:36:21,466
First impression, Twitter's
kind of 60-40.
631
00:36:25,724 --> 00:36:25,724
For which? For or against?For.
You see.
632
00:36:29,386 --> 00:36:29,386
"Brave and honest." "Incredible
television." Er... "Iconic moment."
633
00:36:33,660 --> 00:36:33,660
"Terrific courage." "I always
thought he was a prick
634
00:36:35,866 --> 00:36:35,866
"and now I'm sure of it."
635
00:36:37,308 --> 00:36:37,308
"Patriarchal swine."
I told you it would work.
636
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:40,700
Joy's on this stuff all night,
we'll see how it goes.
637
00:36:43,260 --> 00:36:43,260
It's only going to get better.
You watch.
638
00:36:46,716 --> 00:36:46,716
REPORTERS SHOUTING
639
00:37:03,292 --> 00:37:03,292
Well, what happened? You said you
were going to the paper.
640
00:37:05,916 --> 00:37:05,916
Are you cross-examining me?
It's all about his daughter.
641
00:37:08,386 --> 00:37:08,386
That's all there is,
everywhere.Yep.
642
00:37:10,460 --> 00:37:10,460
How's he got this daughter
he didn't know about?
643
00:37:12,466 --> 00:37:12,466
That could work either way, for him
or against him, but
644
00:37:14,428 --> 00:37:14,428
one thing's for sure, no-one's
talking about anything else.
645
00:37:16,732 --> 00:37:16,732
Did the paper not hear the tape?
Yeah, they heard it.
646
00:37:18,716 --> 00:37:18,716
So, when are they publishing?Luke,
I've got an conscience of my own.
647
00:37:21,596 --> 00:37:21,596
I don't need anybody else to do
the job.
648
00:37:39,708 --> 00:37:39,708
Thank you.
649
00:37:46,186 --> 00:37:46,186
Mrs Laurence, this is very kind of
you.Oh, it's nothing.
650
00:37:50,626 --> 00:37:50,626
I might be a poor judge
of character,
651
00:37:53,026 --> 00:37:53,026
but I was surprised when you agreed
to have lunch.
652
00:37:56,924 --> 00:37:56,924
Well, I'm not often in town.
653
00:37:59,548 --> 00:37:59,548
It's so sad they've modernised
this place.
654
00:38:01,788 --> 00:38:01,788
It was the last decent lunch
spot in London.Really?
655
00:38:05,052 --> 00:38:05,052
I've never been here before.
656
00:38:06,588 --> 00:38:06,588
Oh, I thought barristers specialised
in long lunches?
657
00:38:09,148 --> 00:38:09,148
No, we grab a sandwich and cram
facts for the afternoon.
658
00:38:12,156 --> 00:38:12,156
Oh, I'm surprised.Excuse me.
Thank you.
659
00:38:14,524 --> 00:38:14,524
Yeah, it's one of the most common
misunderstandings about us.
660
00:38:18,428 --> 00:38:18,428
One of them. What's the other?
661
00:38:20,284 --> 00:38:20,284
Well, that we're cynical
and completely uncaring
662
00:38:22,908 --> 00:38:22,908
about the truth.
663
00:38:24,380 --> 00:38:24,380
I never felt that.And that we
defend people
664
00:38:26,876 --> 00:38:26,876
that we know are guilty.
665
00:38:28,426 --> 00:38:28,426
In fact, we never do that.
It's unethical.
666
00:38:30,466 --> 00:38:30,466
Is that why you never ask?
667
00:38:33,106 --> 00:38:33,106
Mm.
668
00:38:35,516 --> 00:38:35,516
Mrs Laurence, I think you and I got
on reasonably well, didn't we?
669
00:38:38,780 --> 00:38:38,780
Yeah, I think so.I hope I did
a professional job.
670
00:38:41,986 --> 00:38:41,986
You won.Yes.
671
00:38:44,866 --> 00:38:44,866
Is that what you mean
by professional?
672
00:38:47,996 --> 00:38:47,996
You were courteous and calm. You had
to be patient, I knew that.
673
00:38:52,348 --> 00:38:52,348
I'd never been in a witness box.
You did very well.
674
00:38:56,866 --> 00:38:56,866
Thank you. You rehearsed me.
Yes.Thoroughly.
675
00:39:01,786 --> 00:39:01,786
Juries like witnesses that aren't
too certain.
676
00:39:04,380 --> 00:39:04,380
If you're overly sure of yourself,
they begin to suspect you.
677
00:39:08,924 --> 00:39:08,924
You said you were in New York.Yes.
Shopping.I said I was shopping.
678
00:39:13,276 --> 00:39:13,276
Yes, and you went to see a show?
Yes.On Broadway, together.
679
00:39:16,348 --> 00:39:16,348
The Book Of Mormon.You mentioned
the Rainbow Room...That's right.
680
00:39:19,228 --> 00:39:19,228
..for cocktails.
The Empire State.Yes.
681
00:39:22,236 --> 00:39:22,236
The fact that you couldn't
quite remember
682
00:39:24,106 --> 00:39:24,106
everything in exact detail, that
added to the impression of honesty.
683
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:28,700
An impression.
684
00:39:31,426 --> 00:39:31,426
Please tell me what this is about.
685
00:39:33,628 --> 00:39:33,628
Look, Helen, as far as
I was concerned,
686
00:39:35,676 --> 00:39:35,676
this was just another case.
687
00:39:37,276 --> 00:39:37,276
High-profile, yes,
but legally unexceptional.
688
00:39:41,180 --> 00:39:41,180
But now it's different because one
of the parties is a senior
689
00:39:44,060 --> 00:39:44,060
government minister and another has
been killed.
690
00:39:47,772 --> 00:39:47,772
Do you know that for sure?
What I'm saying...
691
00:39:51,420 --> 00:39:51,420
..it was one thing to help
Peter with an alibi
692
00:39:53,468 --> 00:39:53,468
when reputations were at stake.
693
00:39:55,324 --> 00:39:55,324
But now it's lives.
694
00:39:57,826 --> 00:39:57,826
Also, he's now confessing to
a daughter from an affair long
695
00:40:00,636 --> 00:40:00,636
ago, so I can only imagine how
painful that is for you,
696
00:40:04,906 --> 00:40:04,906
what you're going through.
Did you have a childhood sweetheart?
697
00:40:09,148 --> 00:40:09,148
Yes. I haven't seen him in years.
I stayed with my sweetheart.
698
00:40:15,356 --> 00:40:15,356
I have a memory of him
as he was then.
699
00:40:20,668 --> 00:40:20,668
If you don't believe the journalist
died accidentally,
700
00:40:23,548 --> 00:40:23,548
then you should prove it.
701
00:40:24,956 --> 00:40:24,956
Helen, I don't think you've wholly
understood just how serious
702
00:40:27,708 --> 00:40:27,708
this stuff is.
703
00:40:29,506 --> 00:40:29,506
I've understood perfectly.
704
00:40:36,796 --> 00:40:36,796
But I'll tell you one thing,
705
00:40:38,396 --> 00:40:38,396
if I do betray a man I've been
with for 30 years, it won't be
706
00:40:41,084 --> 00:40:41,084
because a professional advocate
took me to a posh lunch.
707
00:40:45,372 --> 00:40:45,372
In fact, it won't be because
of anyone else.
708
00:40:47,386 --> 00:40:47,386
It will be what I decide for myself.
709
00:41:01,186 --> 00:41:01,186
BUZZER
710
00:41:02,908 --> 00:41:02,908
This... Can I do this?
711
00:41:11,420 --> 00:41:11,420
Have you read it?No. Is it
any good?
712
00:41:14,626 --> 00:41:14,626
Yeah, it is. Pretty good.Thank you.
713
00:41:21,106 --> 00:41:21,106
I watched the TV.
714
00:41:23,146 --> 00:41:23,146
Yeah, that was the point.
I was talking to you.
715
00:41:27,996 --> 00:41:27,996
How was my mum?You know
your mother.
716
00:41:31,068 --> 00:41:31,068
She gave me a hard time.Yeah.
717
00:41:35,100 --> 00:41:35,100
I can't believe when I get out
I'm going to have a dad.
718
00:41:38,940 --> 00:41:38,940
I hope I'll see you before
then.Good.
719
00:41:41,948 --> 00:41:41,948
You know where I am.
720
00:41:45,148 --> 00:41:45,148
Yeah.
721
00:41:48,028 --> 00:41:48,028
Is it...? Are we allowed to kiss?
722
00:41:50,780 --> 00:41:50,780
On the cheek, sir, but no
hand contact.

Mum's upstairs. She's waiting
for you.

00:42:43,004 --> 00:42:43,004
I'm sorry you've been upset.
727
00:42:44,988 --> 00:42:44,988
She's as angry as I am. Angrier.
728
00:42:51,644 --> 00:42:51,644
You know, maybe once, I'd like you
to go on television and tell
729
00:42:54,524 --> 00:42:54,524
your adoring public just how much
you love your other two daughters.
730
00:42:58,364 --> 00:42:58,364
The two you had WITH your wife.
731
00:43:01,308 --> 00:43:01,308
Lily...You're selfish.
732
00:43:05,026 --> 00:43:05,026
You're utterly selfish.
733
00:43:08,412 --> 00:43:08,412
You've got the talk.
My God, you've got the talk.
734
00:43:11,868 --> 00:43:11,868
You've got it all worked out,
735
00:43:13,340 --> 00:43:13,340
just how the people around you
never stop suffering.

You know what's odd about getting
old? You're the same person,
739
00:43:45,596 --> 00:43:45,596
and yet you're not.Who are you
talking about? You or me?
740
00:43:49,948 --> 00:43:49,948
I married a furniture salesman.
I didn't a Prime Minister.
741
00:43:53,026 --> 00:43:53,026
Oh, hold on, that is
a long way off.
742
00:43:54,876 --> 00:43:54,876
The whole country's still
talking about Rose Dietl.
743
00:43:57,500 --> 00:43:57,500
I know perfectly well that's just
you getting the subject
744
00:43:59,868 --> 00:43:59,868
out of the way.Believe it or not,
it was also me
745
00:44:01,980 --> 00:44:01,980
trying to give Rose a life.
There are two things in play.
746
00:44:04,906 --> 00:44:04,906
And the other thing,
you going to Downing Street.
747
00:44:07,356 --> 00:44:07,356
Were you planning to talk to me
about that?Helen.
748
00:44:10,786 --> 00:44:10,786
Of course I'll talk to you.
749
00:44:13,436 --> 00:44:13,436
And the journalist that was killed?
I know nothing about that.
750
00:44:16,906 --> 00:44:16,906
I didn't even know she was in
Washington.Really?
751
00:44:19,666 --> 00:44:19,666
Well, if I looked in to your eyes,
would I be able to tell any more?
752
00:44:26,748 --> 00:44:26,748
You talk all the time about freedom,
753
00:44:29,308 --> 00:44:29,308
but is freedom really
the ultimate good?
754
00:44:32,386 --> 00:44:32,386
Helen.Is it?
755
00:44:34,556 --> 00:44:34,556
Compared with loyalty?
756
00:44:36,284 --> 00:44:36,284
We started out together and we will
end up together. You know that.
757
00:44:40,700 --> 00:44:40,700
We've always known that.
758
00:44:45,586 --> 00:44:45,586
And the Prime Minister, that is
a long journey.
759
00:44:49,546 --> 00:44:49,546
That's weeks ahead, and there's so
many things that can go wrong.
760
00:44:52,796 --> 00:44:52,796
Nobody becomes leader by right.
761
00:44:55,228 --> 00:44:55,228
Well, on the other hand...
762
00:45:01,066 --> 00:45:01,066
I was thinking maybe this weekend
you could come down and meet Rose.
763
00:45:04,666 --> 00:45:04,666
With press or without?
764
00:45:07,516 --> 00:45:07,516
Without.
765
00:45:10,012 --> 00:45:10,012
Then, yes, I'd like that.
766
00:45:16,220 --> 00:45:16,220
Good.
767
00:45:19,740 --> 00:45:19,740
Oh, by the way, I've got something
I need you to sign.
768
00:45:24,988 --> 00:45:24,988
Won't take a moment. I'll just leave
it with you.
769
00:45:27,228 --> 00:45:27,228
What is it?
770
00:45:28,906 --> 00:45:28,906
It's the ownership of
Stanfield Titles.
771
00:45:31,546 --> 00:45:31,546
If you remember, it's in your name.
772
00:45:33,586 --> 00:45:33,586
Why am I signing?I'm dissolving it.
773
00:45:36,316 --> 00:45:36,316
It's just a technicality.
774
00:45:52,188 --> 00:45:52,188
So, can't wait for tomorrow.
775
00:45:55,906 --> 00:45:55,906
No.She knows it's over.
776
00:45:58,204 --> 00:45:58,204
By this time tomorrow, your man's
going to be making his move.
777
00:46:02,428 --> 00:46:02,428
Do you have any idea who
leaked the email?
778
00:46:09,946 --> 00:46:09,946
I don't believe it. It came from
you?Yes.
779
00:46:14,780 --> 00:46:14,780
But you did yourself out of a job.
780
00:46:16,636 --> 00:46:16,636
Not quite. Adam De Banzie
spoke to me.
781
00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:21,500
Why De Banzie?Well, if he gets in,
Peter's going to keep me on.
782
00:46:24,346 --> 00:46:24,346
I'm just jumping rafts.
783
00:46:26,172 --> 00:46:26,172
Adam De Banzie does not run
the government.
784
00:46:29,026 --> 00:46:29,026
Doesn't he?
785
00:46:30,466 --> 00:46:30,466
Gosh, my mistake.
786
00:46:58,940 --> 00:46:58,940
Good morning, minister.
Good morning.Morning, everyone.
787
00:47:03,106 --> 00:47:03,106
Obviously, clear all commitments.
We start planning from here.
788
00:47:06,428 --> 00:47:06,428
Of course.How are the papers?
I haven't seen them.
789
00:47:09,308 --> 00:47:09,308
Horrible. But less horrible
than yesterday,
790
00:47:12,106 --> 00:47:12,106
and even less horrible than
the day before.
791
00:47:13,916 --> 00:47:13,916
You're saying that in ten days they
might be positively pleasant?
792
00:47:16,732 --> 00:47:16,732
It's usually ten days.
793
00:47:18,140 --> 00:47:18,140
Listen, Joy, wherever we're going,
I want you to come with me.
794
00:47:21,788 --> 00:47:21,788
Thank you, that makes me so happy.
795
00:47:24,226 --> 00:47:24,226
Just doesn't feel right without you.
796
00:47:27,548 --> 00:47:27,548
Good.
797
00:47:32,476 --> 00:47:32,476
Right, better start plotting
the day.
798
00:47:35,868 --> 00:47:35,868
Peter, sorry, I haven't liked to
ask, I've rather assumed.
799
00:47:39,946 --> 00:47:39,946
If you are going to Downing Street,
I am coming with you, presumably?
800
00:47:42,780 --> 00:47:42,780
Hey, hey, hey. Let's not jump ahead.
Don't want to jinx it.
801
00:47:46,236 --> 00:47:46,236
This is just the start of
the campaign. There's a long
802
00:47:48,604 --> 00:47:48,604
way to go.No, it's just, I was
speaking to Julia
803
00:47:52,066 --> 00:47:52,066
and she did mention...
Mention what?
804
00:47:55,786 --> 00:47:55,786
You'd had a word with her already.
805
00:47:59,036 --> 00:47:59,036
Yeah. You should probably take
that up with her.
806
00:48:12,604 --> 00:48:12,604
Shut the door.
807
00:48:22,140 --> 00:48:22,140
I haven't read anything.
808
00:48:26,428 --> 00:48:26,428
No.In the paper. What's happening?
It all fell apart.Why?
809
00:48:29,506 --> 00:48:29,506
You really want to know?Don't you
think you owe me an explanation?
810
00:48:32,188 --> 00:48:32,188
I don't owe you anything.
811
00:48:34,066 --> 00:48:34,066
So, what's that?I want a precis by
closing time, with bullet points.
812
00:48:39,292 --> 00:48:39,292
You went to see Lapidus.Yes.
813
00:48:42,826 --> 00:48:42,826
You're right.How was he?
814
00:48:45,116 --> 00:48:45,116
He's scared of losing his job.
He's been told to kill the story.
815
00:48:48,508 --> 00:48:48,508
Told by who?By whom. By whom.
816
00:48:50,626 --> 00:48:50,626
It's English, if you want to be
a lawyer. Well, what can I tell you?
817
00:48:53,266 --> 00:48:53,266
He has changed his mind, he doesn't
want to proceed, he's been leant on.
818
00:48:56,508 --> 00:48:56,508
So, we just leave it?Luke,
whistle-blowing isn't romantic.
819
00:48:59,026 --> 00:48:59,026
It's more like suicide.
820
00:49:00,540 --> 00:49:00,540
If I go hawking this stuff around,
I'm going
821
00:49:02,332 --> 00:49:02,332
to be thrown out of Chambers,
I'll be finished.
822
00:49:04,188 --> 00:49:04,188
And please tell me, for what?
To see justice done.
823
00:49:06,620 --> 00:49:06,620
OK, Luke, maybe you don't want to be
a lawyer.
824
00:49:08,476 --> 00:49:08,476
Because for all I know, you want to
burn your career before it's
825
00:49:11,292 --> 00:49:11,292
even begun and spend the rest
of your life in the ashes. Do you?
826
00:49:14,266 --> 00:49:14,266
Because that's what's going to
happen unless you learn to let go.
827
00:49:19,036 --> 00:49:19,036
I only met her once.
828
00:49:21,916 --> 00:49:21,916
And you think it's all very funny,
going to meetings.
829
00:49:25,948 --> 00:49:25,948
But addiction isn't funny.
830
00:49:28,828 --> 00:49:28,828
And at that meeting and afterwards,
I heard what
831
00:49:31,196 --> 00:49:31,196
she had to say about the things
she's tried to do in her life.
832
00:49:34,716 --> 00:49:34,716
She was a decent person, Rochelle.
833
00:49:38,300 --> 00:49:38,300
I only knew her briefly, but
I thought she was great.
834
00:49:43,356 --> 00:49:43,356
And you.
835
00:49:45,148 --> 00:49:45,148
You're going to be the first QC of
your generation, we all know that.
836
00:49:47,746 --> 00:49:47,746
Fine.
837
00:49:50,146 --> 00:49:50,146
But what we didn't know, that is
the only thing that matters to you.
838
00:50:04,156 --> 00:50:04,156
You were my hero, Rochelle.
839
00:50:07,100 --> 00:50:07,100
I admired you.
840
00:50:10,236 --> 00:50:10,236
Fine.
841
00:50:12,668 --> 00:50:12,668
Admire someone else.
842
00:50:31,356 --> 00:50:31,356
Peter Laurence is with us,
and, of course, we're all worried
843
00:50:34,428 --> 00:50:34,428
it could be for the last time.
844
00:50:36,226 --> 00:50:36,226
I wouldn't say that.
845
00:50:38,268 --> 00:50:38,268
That's all in the hands
of my colleagues.
846
00:50:40,380 --> 00:50:40,380
I'd never try and prejudge a vote.
847
00:50:42,172 --> 00:50:42,172
Let's just say if you don't make it
to Downing Street tonight,
848
00:50:44,796 --> 00:50:44,796
a lot of us are going to lose a lot
of money.
849
00:50:46,716 --> 00:50:46,716
We've all been down
the betting shop.
850
00:50:48,636 --> 00:50:48,636
I'm very touched by that.
851
00:50:50,044 --> 00:50:50,044
Only eight weeks ago, Dawn Ellison
was looking at a clear blue sky.
852
00:50:54,106 --> 00:50:54,106
Now she's history. How quickly did
that happen?
853
00:50:57,148 --> 00:50:57,148
I think politics in
the 21st-century,
854
00:50:59,626 --> 00:50:59,626
it's more volatile.
Things move faster.
855
00:51:02,204 --> 00:51:02,204
That's a fact. That's just the world
we're living in.
856
00:51:04,666 --> 00:51:04,666
Personally, that doesn't frighten
me.
857
00:51:07,546 --> 00:51:07,546
I find that exciting,
and more important,
858
00:51:10,076 --> 00:51:10,076
if I'm lucky enough to make it into
Downing Street, I will enter it
859
00:51:13,596 --> 00:51:13,596
unencumbered and beholden to no-one.
860
00:51:16,796 --> 00:51:16,796
Do you think that things can keep on
changing at this pace?
861
00:51:19,676 --> 00:51:19,676
Because from the outside, from where
I'm looking at it,
862
00:51:22,108 --> 00:51:22,108
I don't know how you lot keep up!
863
00:51:24,348 --> 00:51:24,348
We don't have to be politicians.
864
00:51:25,948 --> 00:51:25,948
No-one forces us. We do it because
we want to.
865
00:51:29,026 --> 00:51:29,026
I'm sure you do, Peter.
I'm sure you do.
866
00:51:54,108 --> 00:51:54,108
Well, we did say this one was full
of surprises.This one?
867
00:51:58,666 --> 00:51:58,666
Peter Laurence.
868
00:52:00,380 --> 00:52:00,380
Did we? Oh, yes.
869
00:52:07,996 --> 00:52:07,996
Oh, you're back! How did it go?
870
00:52:13,666 --> 00:52:13,666
It looks like you're going to be
the Prime Minister's daughter.Yeah.
871
00:52:17,386 --> 00:52:17,386
I'll just have to put up with it,
won't I?
872
00:52:20,412 --> 00:52:20,412
Sure.
873
00:52:23,146 --> 00:52:23,146
Oh, come on. Is it really that bad?
874
00:52:33,276 --> 00:52:33,276
If you think it will make any
difference now
875
00:52:35,068 --> 00:52:35,068
we know who your father is...
876
00:52:36,476 --> 00:52:36,476
I know it won't,
877
00:52:38,396 --> 00:52:38,396
but it's making a difference to me.
878
00:52:42,946 --> 00:52:42,946
It's always been a position of
trust, hasn't it, Sydney?
879
00:52:46,426 --> 00:52:46,426
Sorry, sir?
880
00:52:50,266 --> 00:52:50,266
Driver to the Prime Minister.
881
00:52:53,756 --> 00:52:53,756
Sure, you couldn't be closer.
882
00:52:56,386 --> 00:52:56,386
No, sir.
883
00:52:58,236 --> 00:52:58,236
But it works both ways, doesn't it?
884
00:53:01,244 --> 00:53:01,244
You know everything about me.
On the other hand,
885
00:53:03,676 --> 00:53:03,676
I know a lot about you.
886
00:53:06,346 --> 00:53:06,346
I don't quite know what you
mean, sir.
887
00:53:10,012 --> 00:53:10,012
I mean I'm not quite as stupid
as I look.
888
00:53:22,620 --> 00:53:22,620
REPORTERS SHOUTING
889
00:53:30,300 --> 00:53:30,300
Good afternoon.
890
00:53:35,420 --> 00:53:35,420
All my life, I have refused to be
weighed down by the past.
891
00:53:41,628 --> 00:53:41,628
I believe in the future, I believe
in freedom. I really do.
892
00:53:45,916 --> 00:53:45,916
By all means, judge me by
my results,
893
00:53:48,348 --> 00:53:48,348
but today at least I can tell you
my intention.
894
00:53:51,106 --> 00:53:51,106
I will do anything, anything,
895
00:53:54,876 --> 00:53:54,876
to set my country free.
896
00:53:58,076 --> 00:53:58,076
Thank you.
897
00:53:59,626 --> 00:53:59,626
REPORTERS SHOUTING
898
00:54:07,676 --> 00:54:07,676

Hello. Hello. Hello.
900
00:54:15,036 --> 00:54:15,036
Hello, nice to see you.
901
00:54:17,746 --> 00:54:17,746
Goodness me! Look at this.
902
00:54:21,346 --> 00:54:21,346
Bravo!
903
00:54:24,956 --> 00:54:24,956
Good to see you.
This is my wife, Helen.
904
00:54:54,716 --> 00:54:54,716
What's this?
905
00:54:56,986 --> 00:54:56,986
Stanfield Titles.
906
00:55:06,620 --> 00:55:06,620
I'd hoped you'd signed it.
Well, obviously not.
907
00:55:13,468 --> 00:55:13,468
I'll be upstairs if you need me.
See you later.
908
00:55:28,636 --> 00:55:28,636
HE SIGHS
909
00:55:39,004 --> 00:55:39,004
KNOCKING
910
00:55:43,786 --> 00:55:43,786
Prime Minister.
