1
00:00:00,043 --> 00:00:04,083
The members of my Cabinet are here
for one reason and one reason only -

2
00:00:04,123 --> 00:00:06,483
because they are the best people
for the job!

3
00:00:06,523 --> 00:00:07,563
CHEERING

4
00:00:07,603 --> 00:00:11,683
You just keep on climbing,
all the way to the top.

5
00:00:12,643 --> 00:00:16,803
All I want is for you to pass on
any information that comes your way.

6
00:00:16,843 --> 00:00:17,923
Will I be paid?

7
00:00:19,123 --> 00:00:23,363
Er, Barbara, I don't think you've
met my secretary, Sheila Buckley.

8
00:00:23,403 --> 00:00:24,643
I'm afraid, er,

9
00:00:24,683 --> 00:00:27,723
Harold didn't think
you were quite 100%.

10
00:00:27,763 --> 00:00:30,923
This is a mess.
You've got to sort this out.

11
00:00:30,963 --> 00:00:32,483
HE SOBS

12
00:00:32,523 --> 00:00:36,163
We seem to have uncovered
some inconsistencies

13
00:00:36,203 --> 00:00:38,603
about your business dealings.

14
00:00:38,643 --> 00:00:39,963
It's the police!

15
00:00:41,283 --> 00:00:44,803
Births never talked to Deaths.
Deaths never talked to Births.

16
00:00:44,843 --> 00:00:47,563
There was no communication
between the two departments.

17
00:00:47,603 --> 00:00:51,163
Where are you going, Dad?
Er, Miami.

18
00:00:52,443 --> 00:00:55,043
How long for?
Only for a few days.

19
00:00:56,123 --> 00:00:57,563
Have a good flight, Mr Carey.

20
00:01:06,803 --> 00:01:09,123
CHIMING

21
00:01:15,203 --> 00:01:16,563
Thank you.

22
00:01:24,163 --> 00:01:25,323
Prime Minister.

23
00:01:29,123 --> 00:01:32,083
I know that members
on both sides of the House

24
00:01:32,123 --> 00:01:34,323
will want to join with me

25
00:01:34,363 --> 00:01:39,603
in sending deepest condolences to
members of Mr Stonehouse's family.

26
00:01:39,643 --> 00:01:40,963
ALL: Hear, hear.

27
00:01:41,003 --> 00:01:42,803
PING

28
00:01:45,323 --> 00:01:48,923
'Ah, that's an absolute ripper
from Jeff Thomson!

29
00:01:48,963 --> 00:01:50,083

00:01:50,123 --> 00:01:53,083

He's the Member for Walsall North,
not Little Italy.

47
00:02:51,403 --> 00:02:53,523
I've got a Member
of the House of Lords

48
00:02:53,563 --> 00:02:55,803
who's apparently vanished
without trace,

49
00:02:55,843 --> 00:02:59,723
and an MP who seems to have
gone swimming with the fishes.

50
00:02:59,763 --> 00:03:02,323
At this rate, there'll be
nobody left by Christmas.

51
00:03:03,523 --> 00:03:05,163
What are the numbers like, Betty?

52
00:03:05,203 --> 00:03:08,723
Tight, Prime Minister. Very tight.

53
00:03:08,763 --> 00:03:11,403
And that's assuming
there are no abstentions

54
00:03:11,443 --> 00:03:14,443
and the Whips can manage to drag
everyone out of their bath chairs.

55
00:03:14,483 --> 00:03:15,643
Hm.

56
00:03:17,283 --> 00:03:18,923
Christ!

57
00:03:18,963 --> 00:03:22,603
As his secretary,
you must know Mr Stonehouse well.

58
00:03:22,643 --> 00:03:25,203
What sort of recreations
does he have?

59
00:03:25,243 --> 00:03:27,163
Recreations?

60
00:03:28,443 --> 00:03:32,003
Well, he's always been
a very strong swimmer.

61
00:03:32,043 --> 00:03:34,803
It's really the only recreation
he has...

62
00:03:34,843 --> 00:03:37,643
What?
Shh!

63
00:03:37,683 --> 00:03:40,363
'He swam
whenever he had the opportunity,

64
00:03:40,403 --> 00:03:44,523
'and, er, I do know he always
liked to swim out a long way.'

65
00:03:44,563 --> 00:03:46,203
Mum?

66
00:03:46,243 --> 00:03:47,563
Yes, darling?

67
00:03:49,723 --> 00:03:51,843
Is Dad ever going to come home?

68
00:03:59,443 --> 00:04:02,243
I don't know, darling.

69
00:04:03,443 --> 00:04:06,203
We can only pray
that he's all right.

70
00:04:06,243 --> 00:04:08,283
But I don't understand.

71
00:04:08,323 --> 00:04:11,163
No, and I don't understand either.

72
00:04:11,203 --> 00:04:12,643
I...

73
00:04:12,683 --> 00:04:14,443
I don't think any of us do.

74
00:04:15,843 --> 00:04:17,603
But where is he?

75
00:04:19,523 --> 00:04:20,923
He must be somewhere!

76
00:05:16,723 --> 00:05:19,723
Order! Order!

77
00:05:29,763 --> 00:05:33,763
The Ayes to the right, 316.

78
00:05:33,803 --> 00:05:37,883
The Noes to the left, 318.

79
00:05:37,923 --> 00:05:40,043
CHEERING

80
00:05:40,083 --> 00:05:43,323
The Ayes to the right, 316.

81
00:05:43,363 --> 00:05:46,843
The Noes to the left, 318.

82
00:05:46,883 --> 00:05:49,763
The Noes have it! The Noes have it!

83
00:05:49,803 --> 00:05:51,123
Unlock!

84
00:05:52,283 --> 00:05:55,883
If Stonehouse was to remain missing,
if no body is discovered,

85
00:05:55,923 --> 00:05:59,643
it could take several years before
he's officially declared dead.

86
00:05:59,683 --> 00:06:04,003
In theory, he could continue
as an MP in absentia

87
00:06:04,043 --> 00:06:06,323
unless grounds could be found
for disqualifying him.

88
00:06:06,363 --> 00:06:08,483
But what if there's
another general election?

89
00:06:08,523 --> 00:06:09,963
Plainly, that would be a problem.

90
00:06:10,003 --> 00:06:11,963
You're bloody right
it would be a problem!

91
00:06:12,003 --> 00:06:14,603
We'd be asking the voters of
Walsall North to put their crosses

92
00:06:14,643 --> 00:06:17,683
next to someone who is most
probably lying on the ocean floor

93
00:06:17,723 --> 00:06:20,163
having his bones picked clean
by sharks!

94
00:06:20,203 --> 00:06:23,443
Quite understandably, they might
think he's not in much of a position

95
00:06:23,483 --> 00:06:25,283
to represent their interests.

96
00:06:26,803 --> 00:06:29,203
Let me get this straight, Betty.

97
00:06:29,243 --> 00:06:32,883
This government has a majority
the size of my toenail.

98
00:06:32,923 --> 00:06:35,363
We also have an MP
who may or may not be dead,

99
00:06:35,403 --> 00:06:38,923
and who may or may not be
a Soviet spy, for that matter,

100
00:06:38,963 --> 00:06:40,963
but we can't do a damn thing
about it.

101
00:06:42,203 --> 00:06:45,003
At least not unless
his body's found.

102
00:06:46,483 --> 00:06:49,763
Or else he stages
the greatest comeback since Lazarus!

103
00:07:05,723 --> 00:07:06,963
Oh, good afternoon.

104
00:07:07,003 --> 00:07:08,843
I've come about the apartment.

105
00:07:13,723 --> 00:07:16,003
The apartment that was advertised?

106

Oh, erm...

119
00:10:08,483 --> 00:10:10,123
I think I'll...

00:10:11,403 --> 00:10:13,643
I think I'll have a beer.

Welcome, Joe!

125
00:10:26,923 --> 00:10:30,163
You, er, live in Melbourne,
or just passing through?

Just passing through...
Just passing through.

127
00:10:35,803 --> 00:10:40,123
Well, you obviously like your jazz,
otherwise you wouldn't be here.

128
00:10:43,083 --> 00:10:45,083
What sort of stuff do you go for?

129
00:10:49,923 --> 00:10:53,083
What sort of stuff do I go for?
Erm...

130
00:10:53,123 --> 00:10:54,563
CLEARS HIS THROAT

You know what, Joe?

136
00:11:17,483 --> 00:11:19,643
You're a man after my own heart.

137
00:11:19,683 --> 00:11:22,723
I think we're all partial
to a bit of hard bop here.

138
00:11:22,763 --> 00:11:24,643
THEY LAUGH

139
00:11:24,683 --> 00:11:27,443

Blow, Big Man, blow!

00:11:29,883 --> 00:11:33,083
Blow, Big Man, blow.
Come on, then, Joe, get that up you.

RINGING

143
00:12:29,483 --> 00:12:30,923
Hello.

144
00:12:30,963 --> 00:12:32,643
'It's Barbara.

145
00:12:32,683 --> 00:12:34,283
'I just...

146
00:12:34,323 --> 00:12:37,883
'I just wondered if you'd...
heard anything?'

147
00:12:39,603 --> 00:12:41,843
Nothing at all, I'm afwaid.

148
00:12:41,883 --> 00:12:43,923
It's such a worry.

149
00:12:43,963 --> 00:12:48,163
For you, of course,
and the children.

150
00:12:50,243 --> 00:12:52,763
'Frankly, I can't imagine
what you're going through.'

151
00:12:55,763 --> 00:12:57,803
No, well, er...

152
00:12:59,083 --> 00:13:01,163
I-I didn't really think you...

153
00:13:03,043 --> 00:13:05,563
I'm sorry to have called you
so late.

154
00:13:07,483 --> 00:13:09,323
It's perfectly all right.

155
00:13:09,363 --> 00:13:11,563
Any time.

156
00:13:15,523 --> 00:13:17,243
Good night, Sheila.

157
00:13:17,283 --> 00:13:19,083
'Good night.'

158
00:13:34,683 --> 00:13:38,043
All of you have been so kind

159
00:13:38,083 --> 00:13:41,363
and hospitable to me,

160
00:13:41,403 --> 00:13:44,043
a solitary Pom far from home,

161
00:13:44,083 --> 00:13:48,283
and as a token of my appreciation,
I'd like to buy you all a drink.

162
00:13:48,323 --> 00:13:49,843
Fair play.

163
00:13:49,883 --> 00:13:51,163
Good on you, mate.

164
00:13:51,203 --> 00:13:54,763
Shane, same again for everybody.
Another round, please.

165
00:13:54,803 --> 00:13:58,963
And I think I might be
a little short of cash.

166
00:13:59,003 --> 00:14:01,323
Will you take a cheque?

167
00:14:03,603 --> 00:14:08,483
Barbara, I'm afraid
we have to be realistic about this.

168
00:14:08,523 --> 00:14:13,643
We have to consider the possibility
that John might not be coming back.

169
00:14:13,683 --> 00:14:17,963
I don't know how much you know
about his financial affairs.

170
00:14:18,003 --> 00:14:21,963
Well, he always preferred
to take care of them himself.

171
00:14:22,003 --> 00:14:26,563
Were you aware
of the life insurance policies?

172
00:14:26,603 --> 00:14:30,003
I know he took out
a life insurance policy, yes.

173
00:14:30,043 --> 00:14:34,003
I believe he was advised to
after the last IRA bombing campaign.

174
00:14:36,883 --> 00:14:39,123
Policies?

175
00:14:39,163 --> 00:14:41,723
You mean there-there were more
than one?

176
00:14:42,883 --> 00:14:44,003
Yes.

177
00:14:46,283 --> 00:14:48,243
Well, how many were there?

178
00:14:49,923 --> 00:14:51,483
Five.

179
00:14:58,523 --> 00:15:01,403
Oh, Mr Murray,
I didn't get my newspaper today.

180
00:15:01,443 --> 00:15:04,123
My copy of The London Times.
Will you look into it for me?

181
00:15:12,763 --> 00:15:14,763
I always thought
there was something a bit...

182
00:15:16,203 --> 00:15:19,363
..off about him, you know, Betty.

183
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:21,643
Always.

184
00:15:21,683 --> 00:15:26,843
I couldn't quite put my finger
on it. Just something a bit...

185
00:15:29,923 --> 00:15:31,003
Off.

186
00:15:31,043 --> 00:15:32,243
Off.

187
00:15:33,603 --> 00:15:35,643
Off.

188
00:15:35,683 --> 00:15:37,763
'In the absence
of any further leads,

189
00:15:37,803 --> 00:15:41,643
'the search has now taken on
an international dimension.'

190
00:15:51,123 --> 00:15:52,563

00:15:52,603 --> 00:15:56,923
Yeah, hello, I'd like

00:16:22,923 --> 00:16:24,883

193
00:17:14,363 --> 00:17:15,803
Ah!

00:17:52,723 --> 00:17:54,123
Good evening, sir.

197
00:17:54,163 --> 00:17:56,963
I'm Inspector John Mackenzie.

198
00:17:57,003 --> 00:17:59,923
This is my colleague,
Acting Inspector Dave Walters.

199
00:18:02,163 --> 00:18:04,403
Mind if we come in, sir?

200
00:18:05,603 --> 00:18:07,043
Please.

201
00:18:14,003 --> 00:18:16,163
So, I understand
you're the tenant here, sir?

202
00:18:16,203 --> 00:18:17,883
Yes, I am.

203
00:18:19,763 --> 00:18:21,683
Is everything all right, Inspector?

204
00:18:21,723 --> 00:18:24,163
Would you mind telling us your name,
please, sir?

205
00:18:24,203 --> 00:18:26,523
My name? Yes.
Er, Joe. Joseph Carey.

206
00:18:27,883 --> 00:18:29,683
That's your real name, is it, sir?

207
00:18:29,723 --> 00:18:31,883
LAUGHS
Of course it is!

208
00:18:31,923 --> 00:18:33,843
Would you like to see my passport?

209
00:18:35,363 --> 00:18:36,683
There you are.

210
00:18:38,123 --> 00:18:41,923
You see, we have reason to suppose
that this isn't your real name.

211
00:18:45,363 --> 00:18:47,123
You do?

212
00:18:47,163 --> 00:18:48,883
Well...

213
00:18:48,923 --> 00:18:51,923
Do you? Who do you...?
Who do you think I am?

214
00:18:51,963 --> 00:18:54,163
We believe...

215
00:18:54,203 --> 00:18:58,843
We believe that you are in fact
Richard John Bingham...

216
00:18:59,963 --> 00:19:02,403
..more commonly known as Lord Lucan.

217
00:19:11,203 --> 00:19:13,403
Would you lower your trousers,
please, sir?

218
00:19:13,443 --> 00:19:15,443
Beg your pardon?

219
00:19:15,483 --> 00:19:18,003
Take down your trousers.

220
00:19:28,163 --> 00:19:30,403
All the way down, if you don't mind.

221
00:19:48,083 --> 00:19:49,483
Down a bit.

222
00:19:50,963 --> 00:19:53,403
WHIRRS AND CLICKS

223
00:20:14,523 --> 00:20:16,443
You can pull 'em up again now.

224
00:20:43,163 --> 00:20:46,243
Ah. Do you mind explaining
what all this is about?

225
00:20:47,323 --> 00:20:49,123
I'm assuming you had
a perfectly good reason

226
00:20:49,163 --> 00:20:52,603
for taking such a keen interest
in my, erm... my thigh?

227
00:20:52,643 --> 00:20:55,163
Our colleagues in Scotland Yard
advised us

228
00:20:55,203 --> 00:20:59,483
that Lord Lucan has a
distinctive scar on his right thigh.

229
00:20:59,523 --> 00:21:01,323
Ah. Right.

230
00:21:01,363 --> 00:21:03,363
Do you know,
perhaps I ought to be flattered

231
00:21:03,403 --> 00:21:06,563
at being mistaken for one
of the members of the aristocracy,

232
00:21:06,603 --> 00:21:11,803
but I think it's, er, perfectly
obvious that I am not Lord Lucan.

233
00:21:11,843 --> 00:21:15,443
And, er, neither,
er, as far as I'm aware,

234
00:21:15,483 --> 00:21:18,763
am I under suspicion
for murdering my children's nanny,

235
00:21:18,803 --> 00:21:20,563
so now that we've cleared
all that up,

236
00:21:20,603 --> 00:21:23,203
I can't see any justification
for you keeping me here any longer.

237
00:21:25,163 --> 00:21:26,643
Have a seat, please, sir.

240
00:21:38,363 --> 00:21:39,763
Well, I can't think why.

241
00:21:40,923 --> 00:21:42,603
Well, let me try to explain.

242
00:21:43,803 --> 00:21:46,803
You recently opened an account
in the name of Joseph Carey

243
00:21:46,843 --> 00:21:49,003
and you used a cheque
from this account

244
00:21:49,043 --> 00:21:51,603
to pay a bill at an establishment
called...

245
00:21:52,723 --> 00:21:53,843
..Strange Fruit.

246
00:21:55,283 --> 00:21:56,803
What of it?

247
00:21:56,843 --> 00:22:00,203
Well, it's just that, er,
a few days earlier,

248
00:22:00,243 --> 00:22:02,283
you opened another new account,

249
00:22:02,323 --> 00:22:05,763
only this one was in the name
of Ronald Peterson.

250
00:22:10,123 --> 00:22:12,003
How do you explain that, Joe?

251
00:22:17,003 --> 00:22:19,403
We found this in your apartment,
Joe.

252
00:22:20,443 --> 00:22:24,563

in Miami.

253
00:22:26,363 --> 00:22:30,403
Have you recently stayed
at the Miami Shimmering Sands?

254
00:22:33,523 --> 00:22:35,523
As a matter of fact, I have.

255
00:22:35,563 --> 00:22:38,003
Not that it seems
remotely relevant to anything.

256
00:22:38,043 --> 00:22:41,723
Well, only that, er,
there's no record of you...

No stamp, no visa, nothing...

260
00:22:52,723 --> 00:22:56,363
I don't... I don't...
I-I don't see any reason,

261
00:22:56,403 --> 00:22:59,363
any reason at all why you... why you
feel the need to delve into my, erm,

262
00:22:59,403 --> 00:23:02,323
personal...
Who's Dums, Joe?

00:23:04,203 --> 00:23:05,523

Miss Buckley,

279
00:25:03,963 --> 00:25:07,483
you must be as surprised as anyone
by Mr Stonehouse's reappearance.

280
00:25:07,523 --> 00:25:10,163
Very surprised, yes,

If you could say one thing
to Mr Stonehouse, what would it be?

282
00:25:13,323 --> 00:25:15,043
I would send him all my best wishes

283

Thank you.

285
00:25:22,403 --> 00:25:26,283
Mr Stonehouse, I'm a psychologist
appointed by the State of Victoria

286
00:25:26,323 --> 00:25:28,763
to assess your mental state.

287
00:25:28,803 --> 00:25:30,403
My mental state?

288
00:25:30,443 --> 00:25:31,843
That's right.

289
00:25:34,163 --> 00:25:38,163
It's clear that you found the life
of an MP particularly demanding,

290
00:25:38,203 --> 00:25:43,083
and as someone with, as you say,
high moral principles,

291
00:25:43,123 --> 00:25:46,323
the constant compromises
and back-biting

292
00:25:46,363 --> 00:25:48,723
plainly took a heavy toll.

293
00:25:48,763 --> 00:25:50,523
Would that be right?

294
00:25:52,363 --> 00:25:53,843
Mr Stonehouse,

295
00:25:53,883 --> 00:25:56,443
I wonder if you've ever heard
of the term "split personality"?

296
00:25:56,483 --> 00:25:58,843
Er... Vaguely... Vaguely.

297
00:25:58,883 --> 00:26:02,963
It's a condition whereby the
sufferer finds himself, or herself,

298
00:26:03,003 --> 00:26:05,803
unable to handle the demands
of their daily life.

299
00:26:05,843 --> 00:26:08,763
All the pressures and stresses.

300
00:26:08,803 --> 00:26:12,683
In an attempt to cope,
to protect themselves,

301
00:26:12,723 --> 00:26:14,803
they create another personality,

302
00:26:14,843 --> 00:26:17,243
a sort of shadow self

303
00:26:17,283 --> 00:26:20,443
who exists alongside
their normal personality.

304
00:26:20,483 --> 00:26:24,203
One famous example
of a split personality would be

305
00:26:24,243 --> 00:26:28,723
in Robert Louis Stevenson's story
of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

306
00:26:28,763 --> 00:26:30,963
They are, of course,
the same person,

307
00:26:31,003 --> 00:26:34,203
living together in the same skin.

308
00:26:36,563 --> 00:26:38,763
Are you familiar with Dr Jekyll
and Mr Hyde?

309
00:26:38,803 --> 00:26:41,923
Yes... Er, yes. Yes, I am, actually.

310
00:26:41,963 --> 00:26:45,003
Very-very much so, in fact.

311
00:26:45,043 --> 00:26:46,203

So that's what this is.

347
00:28:30,643 --> 00:28:32,243
I'm sorry?

00:29:03,483 --> 00:29:04,963
Ready, sir?

354
00:29:38,563 --> 00:29:40,083
Darling!

355
00:29:40,123 --> 00:29:42,403
What a wonderful surprise!

356
00:29:47,443 --> 00:29:48,523
Ah.

357
00:29:49,723 --> 00:29:51,563
Put it down there,
thank you, Bill.

358
00:29:53,883 --> 00:29:56,003
Bill's been an absolute godsend.

359
00:29:56,043 --> 00:29:57,963
I don't know what I'd do
without him.

360
00:29:58,003 --> 00:29:59,883
Thank you, sir.
Thank you, Bill.

361
00:30:05,563 --> 00:30:07,723
How are the children?

362
00:30:07,763 --> 00:30:09,683
They're...

363
00:30:09,723 --> 00:30:11,563
as well as can be expected...

364
00:30:12,603 --> 00:30:14,483
..under the circumstances.

365
00:30:16,323 --> 00:30:18,643
I did want to get in touch.

366
00:30:18,683 --> 00:30:20,483
You know, to...

367
00:30:20,523 --> 00:30:22,643
let them know - let you know
that I was all right.

368
00:30:22,683 --> 00:30:23,923
It's just, erm...

369
00:30:25,483 --> 00:30:28,563
..it wasn't really possible
under the circumstances.

370
00:30:32,923 --> 00:30:35,323
What happened, John?

371
00:30:37,763 --> 00:30:40,363
It's not...
It's not an easy thing to explain.

372
00:30:42,083 --> 00:30:43,323
Try.

373
00:30:47,843 --> 00:30:52,483
Well, over the last few months -
years, even...

374
00:30:54,043 --> 00:30:57,923
..I've increasingly felt that the...

375
00:30:59,123 --> 00:31:02,243
..the old John Stonehouse

376
00:31:02,283 --> 00:31:05,723
had ceased to exist
in any meaningful way,

377
00:31:05,763 --> 00:31:08,363
and that all the pressures
that he'd been under

378
00:31:08,403 --> 00:31:10,523
had broken something inside him.

379
00:31:10,563 --> 00:31:13,043
And the longer this went on,

380
00:31:13,083 --> 00:31:18,043
the more it seemed that
the only possible solution

381
00:31:18,083 --> 00:31:23,803
was for him to stop inhabiting
his current shell, as it were,

382
00:31:23,843 --> 00:31:28,043
and be reborn with another identity.

383
00:31:32,203 --> 00:31:35,723
He? The old John Stonehouse?

384
00:31:35,763 --> 00:31:37,883
Exactly so.

385
00:31:37,923 --> 00:31:40,203
But I'm married
to the old John Stonehouse!

386
00:31:40,243 --> 00:31:41,923
I know, darling. I know.

387
00:31:41,963 --> 00:31:43,243
I know.

388
00:31:43,283 --> 00:31:46,083
I can only liken it to, erm...

389
00:31:46,123 --> 00:31:48,683
To what?
Well, I can only...

390
00:31:48,723 --> 00:31:52,403
Well, to-to a...

391
00:31:52,443 --> 00:31:56,243
Jekyll and Hyde type situation.

392
00:31:58,883 --> 00:32:01,283
But wasn't Mr Hyde a... a murderer?

393
00:32:01,323 --> 00:32:02,923
Well, I didn't mean it literally.
No?

394
00:32:02,963 --> 00:32:05,483
Then how did you mean it?

395
00:32:05,523 --> 00:32:08,683
No, I'm... I'm sorry.

396
00:32:08,723 --> 00:32:11,323
I want to be sympathetic.

397
00:32:11,363 --> 00:32:14,763
I do.
I want to be your... your helpmate.

398
00:32:16,003 --> 00:32:20,003
But, John, you let us
believe that you were dead!

399
00:32:20,043 --> 00:32:22,723
For five weeks!

400
00:32:22,763 --> 00:32:26,283
I thought I was a widow,
that the children...

401
00:32:26,323 --> 00:32:28,243
Far, far worse than that -

402
00:32:28,283 --> 00:32:31,523
the children thought
that they had lost their father!

403
00:32:34,923 --> 00:32:40,923
Obviously, er, I regret that
very much, with all my heart.

404
00:32:40,963 --> 00:32:44,803
And what about all the other things?
Do you regret those, too?

405
00:32:44,843 --> 00:32:46,683
Well, I'm aware
that my reputation has

406
00:32:46,723 --> 00:32:48,643
sustained a certain amount
of damage.

407
00:32:51,443 --> 00:32:53,323
A certain amount of damage?!

408
00:32:53,363 --> 00:32:57,003
Do you have any idea of the trouble
you have caused?

409
00:32:58,043 --> 00:33:01,163
Not only the... the mess
you have left the Government in.

410
00:33:01,203 --> 00:33:05,043
You could go to prison, John,
for years. Years and years.

411
00:33:06,243 --> 00:33:08,643
What will that do
to your reputation?

412
00:33:08,683 --> 00:33:11,003
And-and what about the effect
on the children?

413
00:33:11,043 --> 00:33:14,163
How do you think they are going to
like having a jailbird has a father?

414
00:33:16,683 --> 00:33:17,843
SHE SIGHS

415
00:33:17,883 --> 00:33:21,363
You know, m-maybe it was...
Maybe it was me you, er,

416
00:33:21,403 --> 00:33:25,643
you really wanted to get away from -
the old Mrs Stonehouse.

417
00:33:25,683 --> 00:33:27,043
God, no!

418
00:33:27,083 --> 00:33:28,523
No, of course not!

419
00:33:30,083 --> 00:33:32,163
That was the last thing on my mind.

420
00:33:32,203 --> 00:33:34,123
I love you.

421
00:33:34,163 --> 00:33:35,803
Surely you must know that.

422
00:33:39,043 --> 00:33:40,643
Look, I...

423
00:33:40,683 --> 00:33:42,843
I still don't understand.

424
00:33:44,043 --> 00:33:48,763
John, if you were under
so much pressure, such disillusion,

425
00:33:48,803 --> 00:33:50,843
why didn't you just say something?

426
00:33:50,883 --> 00:33:53,763
Darling, I want to answer
your questions -

427
00:33:53,803 --> 00:33:56,963
your perfectly reasonable questions,

428
00:33:57,003 --> 00:34:00,203
but I have been advised...

429
00:34:00,243 --> 00:34:02,523
by a psychologist,

430
00:34:02,563 --> 00:34:05,883
a very eminent woman, incidentally,

431
00:34:05,923 --> 00:34:10,523
that I should not
dwell too much on what's happened,

432
00:34:10,563 --> 00:34:14,243
that I shouldn't churn up
too much mental mud,

433
00:34:14,283 --> 00:34:16,563
as it were, because, apparently,

434
00:34:16,603 --> 00:34:20,483
there's a real danger
of it triggering a, erm...

435
00:34:23,283 --> 00:34:24,323
..a...

436
00:34:26,283 --> 00:34:28,763
A what?
A relapse.

437
00:34:43,683 --> 00:34:45,963
'The by-election defeat
leaves the Government

438
00:34:46,003 --> 00:34:48,643
'in a more precarious position
than ever.

439
00:34:48,683 --> 00:34:50,683

00:34:56,723 --> 00:34:58,363

Hm-mm.

At 151 Castlereagh Mansions,
London SW1.

447
00:35:05,963 --> 00:35:08,683
Yes.
And the message reads as follows:

448
00:35:08,723 --> 00:35:13,283
"Come soonest, stop. Bail granted,
but situation delicate, stop.

449
00:35:13,323 --> 00:35:17,443
"Charge ticket to JT Stonehouse
Global Initiatives, stop.

450
00:35:17,483 --> 00:35:19,843
"All my love, Dums."
How many words is that?

451
00:35:19,883 --> 00:35:23,963
21. It's cheaper if you can
keep it down to 20 or less.

452
00:35:28,603 --> 00:35:30,603
'Much love, Dums.'

453
00:35:38,803 --> 00:35:39,963
Prime Minister?

454
00:35:40,003 --> 00:35:41,523
Yes, Betty?

455
00:35:44,323 --> 00:35:46,683
It's about the Member for Barnsley.

456
00:35:48,963 --> 00:35:50,323
Old Melvyn?

457
00:35:50,363 --> 00:35:52,043
What's he been up to?

458
00:35:53,243 --> 00:35:54,883
SIGHS

459
00:35:57,363 --> 00:35:59,403
Ashes to ashes.

460
00:36:00,523 --> 00:36:02,643
Dust to dust.

461
00:36:24,163 --> 00:36:25,603
Where are we going?

462
00:36:25,643 --> 00:36:27,203
My lawyer has
very kindly provided us

463
00:36:27,243 --> 00:36:29,723
with this splendid new motor
for the duration of my bail,

464
00:36:29,763 --> 00:36:31,403
and a place to stay. A safe house.

465
00:36:31,443 --> 00:36:34,243
A safe house?
Isn't that what spies use?

466
00:36:34,283 --> 00:36:36,803
It's only an expression, darling.
Drive on, please.

467
00:36:36,843 --> 00:36:38,883
CLAMOURING

468
00:36:58,803 --> 00:37:01,363
Oh! Oh.

469
00:37:02,763 --> 00:37:04,163
DOOR OPENS

470
00:37:04,203 --> 00:37:07,243
How marvellous to see you both!

471
00:37:08,803 --> 00:37:11,043
Been a bit of a mad wush,
I'm afwaid,

472
00:37:11,083 --> 00:37:13,843
but I've tried to make it
as homely as possible.

473
00:37:36,163 --> 00:37:38,403
They call this stuff Weety Bites,

474
00:37:38,443 --> 00:37:42,203
but, really,
it's exactly like Weetabix,

475
00:37:42,243 --> 00:37:44,083
just with the corners left on.

476
00:37:58,603 --> 00:38:01,243
There was the most extraordinary
racket last night.

477
00:38:01,283 --> 00:38:02,803
Did either of you hear that?

478
00:38:04,923 --> 00:38:10,803
Some native creature stirring
in the undergrowth, no doubt.

479
00:38:10,843 --> 00:38:12,283
HE LAUGHS

480
00:38:12,323 --> 00:38:13,323
No...

481
00:38:17,803 --> 00:38:19,323
Did you hear it, Sheila?

482
00:38:19,363 --> 00:38:21,283
I can't say I did.
No.

483
00:38:21,323 --> 00:38:22,843
I slept like a log, I'm afwaid.

484
00:38:24,483 --> 00:38:26,643
Your bedroom
faces the other way from us,

485
00:38:26,683 --> 00:38:29,083
so I dare say
that makes a difference.

486
00:38:55,243 --> 00:38:56,923
I might go and have a lie-down.

487
00:38:56,963 --> 00:38:59,043
The... jet lag.

488
00:38:59,083 --> 00:39:00,763
Of course.

489
00:39:00,803 --> 00:39:03,323
For some weason, it doesn't seem
to have affected me.

490
00:39:03,363 --> 00:39:05,243
I can't think why.

491
00:39:05,283 --> 00:39:07,003
Can I bring you anything?

492
00:39:07,043 --> 00:39:09,723
No, no. I can manage on my own.

493
00:39:17,923 --> 00:39:20,363
What's going on?
I don't understand.

494
00:39:20,403 --> 00:39:23,243
Everything is fine.
Trust me and be patient.

495
00:39:23,283 --> 00:39:26,123
I thought we were going
to be together! The two of us!

496
00:39:26,163 --> 00:39:29,363
It's just a few details to iron out,
that's all. I promise.

497
00:39:29,403 --> 00:39:32,043
Everything is completely
under control!

498
00:39:36,603 --> 00:39:37,803
Hello, darling.

499
00:39:48,763 --> 00:39:50,523
Well, I suppose what happened to me

500
00:39:50,563 --> 00:39:53,843
can best be summed up as...
a brainstorm.

501
00:39:53,883 --> 00:39:56,963
A brainstorm that I'm convinced
was brought on

502
00:39:57,003 --> 00:40:00,763
by the pressures
of my political career.

503
00:40:00,803 --> 00:40:03,683
You see, increasingly,
I came to feel that...

504
00:40:03,723 --> 00:40:07,283
I came to feel that I was shackled,
so to speak,

505
00:40:07,323 --> 00:40:09,403
to the wheel of a chariot,

506
00:40:09,443 --> 00:40:14,203
er, and as the wheel turned,
so the spikes dug in, slowly,

507
00:40:14,243 --> 00:40:15,483
draining me of blood...

508
00:40:17,443 --> 00:40:19,843
Fine Christmas present
he turned out to be!

509
00:40:19,883 --> 00:40:22,003
Brainstorm, my arse.

510
00:40:22,043 --> 00:40:23,523
Apologies, Betty.

511
00:40:23,563 --> 00:40:25,843
And what's all this
chariot nonsense?

512
00:40:25,883 --> 00:40:28,203
Sounds like something
out of Ben-Hur.

513
00:40:28,243 --> 00:40:31,363
It gets worse, I'm afraid,
Prime Minister.

514
00:40:31,403 --> 00:40:35,163
So far, Mr Stonehouse has
applied to eight countries

515
00:40:35,203 --> 00:40:39,243
for political asylum,
including Sweden, Mauritius,

516
00:40:39,283 --> 00:40:41,723
Tanzania and Bangladesh.

517
00:40:41,763 --> 00:40:45,803
He's also delivered a handwritten
petition to Government House,

518
00:40:45,843 --> 00:40:49,043
calling on the Queen
to afford him safe passage

519
00:40:49,083 --> 00:40:50,723
should he be forced
to return to the UK.

520
00:40:50,763 --> 00:40:52,803
Oh, she's going to love that!

521
00:40:52,843 --> 00:40:54,243
Oh, that will really make her day!

522
00:40:54,283 --> 00:40:57,763
Well, I doubt if she'll have time
to read the whole thing.

523
00:40:57,803 --> 00:41:01,323
Mr Stonehouse insisted on
unrolling this petition out

524
00:41:01,363 --> 00:41:06,483
on the floor of Government House,
all... five foot, six inches of it.

525
00:41:09,963 --> 00:41:11,763
Do you believe him, Betty?

526
00:41:11,803 --> 00:41:14,083
This... brainstorm of his?

527
00:41:15,723 --> 00:41:18,603
Well, it seems remarkably convenient
under the circumstances.

528
00:41:18,643 --> 00:41:20,243
Bloody right, it does!

529
00:41:20,283 --> 00:41:21,843
On the other hand...

530
00:41:21,883 --> 00:41:23,123
What?

531
00:41:23,163 --> 00:41:27,243
Well, would anyone in their
right mind really behave like this?

532
00:41:27,283 --> 00:41:29,723
He could be howling at the moon,
for all I care!

533
00:41:29,763 --> 00:41:33,403
But I'll tell you one thing, Betty,
without him, we're stuffed.

534
00:41:35,443 --> 00:41:37,923
Can you get me the Australian
High Commissioner, please?

535
00:41:45,923 --> 00:41:47,763
RINGING

536
00:41:49,723 --> 00:41:51,683
Alan? Er...

537
00:41:51,723 --> 00:41:53,363
Yes, and to you. And to you.

538
00:41:53,403 --> 00:41:56,483
Alan, I've got a little favour
I need to ask of you.

539
00:41:58,603 --> 00:42:02,163
{\an8}These are egg and cress,
while these are ham and mustard.

540
00:42:02,203 --> 00:42:04,403
{\an8}Lovely!
HE CHUCKLES

541
00:42:04,443 --> 00:42:05,563
{\an8}Ah.

542
00:42:09,243 --> 00:42:11,003
Mm!

543
00:42:21,243 --> 00:42:22,763
What is it, darling?

544
00:42:26,723 --> 00:42:29,203
Have one of these,
they are awfully good.

545
00:42:31,443 --> 00:42:34,123
There are some sausage wolls,
if you prefer?

546
00:42:37,163 --> 00:42:38,163
Barbara?

547
00:42:38,203 --> 00:42:39,923
No, I wouldn't "pwefer".

548
00:42:39,963 --> 00:42:41,323
Thank you.

549
00:42:48,603 --> 00:42:50,603
Please, Barbara, don't spoil it.

550
00:42:50,643 --> 00:42:54,403
I'm sorry, but which John Stonehouse
am I talking to?

551
00:42:54,443 --> 00:42:55,763
I get so confused.

552
00:42:55,803 --> 00:42:58,243
I thought we'd agreed
not to discuss that.

553
00:42:58,283 --> 00:43:01,003
No, you told me
not to talk about it.

554
00:43:01,043 --> 00:43:03,723
That was your decision, not mine,

555
00:43:03,763 --> 00:43:06,163
and that's rather different,
isn't it?

556
00:43:06,203 --> 00:43:12,003
You see it, it occurs to me
that throughout all this,

557
00:43:12,043 --> 00:43:15,123
you've never thought
about your family.

558
00:43:15,163 --> 00:43:17,363
You've never thought about us.

559
00:43:17,403 --> 00:43:21,163
You've only ever thought about
yourself and what suited you.

560
00:43:22,443 --> 00:43:25,963
And I-I... I understand you,
you know,

561
00:43:26,003 --> 00:43:29,883
you lost your old identity...
I mean, at least, I think I do.

562
00:43:32,163 --> 00:43:34,843
But did you lose your conscience
along the way?

563
00:43:34,883 --> 00:43:39,043
Did you...? Did you lose your sense
of what's right and what's wrong?

564
00:43:39,083 --> 00:43:41,563
Barbara, I told you,
I can't discuss that.

565
00:43:41,603 --> 00:43:42,803
Oh, no, I'm sorry.

566
00:43:42,843 --> 00:43:46,323
Yes, that-that's your
finer feelings, of course (!)

567
00:43:46,363 --> 00:43:47,643
Couldn't we all just...?

568
00:43:47,683 --> 00:43:48,803
Just what?

569
00:43:51,603 --> 00:43:53,363
Be nice?

570
00:43:55,683 --> 00:43:57,363
No.

571
00:43:57,403 --> 00:43:59,603
No, I don't think we could.

572
00:44:01,563 --> 00:44:04,683
Do you really think
we haven't been here before?

573
00:44:04,723 --> 00:44:08,003
Over and over and over again.

574
00:44:08,043 --> 00:44:10,763
And he always comes back to me.

575
00:44:12,043 --> 00:44:13,803
Every time.

576
00:44:17,203 --> 00:44:19,243
Barbara, please... Please...

577
00:44:19,283 --> 00:44:23,163
Except the difference is,
this time, is that, like you,

578
00:44:23,203 --> 00:44:26,363
I'm beginning to see things
much more clearly.

579
00:44:26,403 --> 00:44:30,723
The scales have fallen from my eyes,
as they say.

580
00:44:30,763 --> 00:44:34,963
Not that I have scales on my eyes,
of course.

581
00:44:35,003 --> 00:44:37,003
I'm not sure what does.

582
00:44:37,043 --> 00:44:39,443
Something cold-blooded, I suppose.

583
00:44:43,043 --> 00:44:45,683
Mm. You're right.

584
00:44:45,723 --> 00:44:47,883
These are awfully good.

585
00:44:47,923 --> 00:44:50,323
Oh, for God's sake, Barbara!

586
00:45:05,683 --> 00:45:08,243
Leave me alone, Barbara. Stay back.

587
00:45:08,283 --> 00:45:09,683
I'm warning you, Barbara!

588
00:45:09,723 --> 00:45:11,323
Just leave me alone, all right?

589
00:45:11,363 --> 00:45:13,083
If you don't leave me alone, I'll...

590
00:45:13,123 --> 00:45:14,803
What? What will you do?

591
00:45:16,123 --> 00:45:17,203
Go on, tell me.

592
00:45:18,483 --> 00:45:20,883
What, end it all?
SCOFFS

593
00:45:20,923 --> 00:45:24,683
You do love your melodramatic
gestures, don't you, John?

594
00:45:24,723 --> 00:45:26,283
Well, go on, then!

595
00:45:27,323 --> 00:45:29,603
What?
Well, you've died once already,

596
00:45:29,643 --> 00:45:31,363
so you've had some practice.

597
00:45:31,403 --> 00:45:34,083
Maybe this time,
you'll make a better job of it!

598
00:45:37,723 --> 00:45:40,603
SIRENS WAIL

599
00:45:59,483 --> 00:46:00,923
John Stonehouse.

600
00:46:02,443 --> 00:46:05,243
I have an order for your extradition
to the United Kingdom

601
00:46:05,283 --> 00:46:08,843
to face 15 charges of forgery,
theft and fraud.

602
00:46:08,883 --> 00:46:10,923
Sheila Buck...

603
00:46:10,963 --> 00:46:14,163
Sheila Buckley, I also have
an order for your extradition

604
00:46:14,203 --> 00:46:17,283
to face five charges of theft.

605
00:46:43,323 --> 00:46:45,323
