00:06:33I've had a brilliant career.
00:07:02You're highly regarded.
00:07:04So, alongside attending all those interminable emergency drinks parties, I want you to
00:07:10do an important job for me.
00:07:12Yes, Ambassador.
00:07:13Secretary to the Joint Policy Committee on Atomic Development.
00:07:18The bomb.
00:07:21The bombs.
00:07:23Make it your bag, Donald.
00:07:25I want a good Brit in among the Yanks.
00:07:27We've earned the right to know everything they know.
00:07:29I'm not sure they feel the same.
00:07:31Right.
00:07:32Now, be aggressive about what you want to know.
00:07:36And listen hard.
00:07:37I won't have the Yanks getting possessive about things.
00:07:40Come for a drink on Saturday.
00:07:43I can't, I'm afraid.
00:07:45Oh, yes.
00:07:46Wife in New York.
00:07:48Good idea.
00:07:49Wives and work should be kept separate.
00:07:51Or do I mean wives and life?
00:07:53Yes, I rather think I do.
00:07:55Life on the one hand, and wife on the other.
00:07:58Of course or the other.
00:07:59Yeah.
00:08:00Do you have any questions?
00:08:01Oh, no.
00:08:02No.
00:08:03O-oh.
00:08:04Oh, no.
00:08:05No, no, no.
00:08:06No, no, no, no.
00:08:07No, no, no.
00:08:17No.
00:08:18No, no, no, no, no.
00:08:22No, no, no.
00:08:24Will it be long?
00:08:54Could we happen to this alone?
00:09:08Yes.
00:09:15I want us to have a new start.
00:09:18I'm going to stop.
00:09:19I'm going to tell them I can't do it anymore.
00:09:21Don't make promises you can't keep.
00:09:23I'm going to do it.
00:09:25I want a normal life.
00:09:28I want to look after my son and not feel like half of me is absent.
00:09:35I have to go.
00:09:38Do you?
00:09:49I'm going to tell them it's over.
00:09:53There's something I have to say.
00:09:58My wife had a baby this morning.
00:10:00Let's hope we could make the world a better and safer place for you.
00:10:04How do you know it's a boy?
00:10:05You're the most important agent we have.
00:10:07If we could send your wife flowers, be good.
00:10:09You had an appointment to the Joint Policy Committee on Atomic Development.
00:10:17You think it might allow you to gain access to Atomic Energy Commission?
00:10:20I wonder what I'm looking for in there.
00:10:21It's nuclear physics, for God's sake.
00:10:23No reason.
00:10:23Homer.
00:10:24Please, stop the spy stuff.
00:10:26Homer.
00:10:27It's ridiculous.
00:10:28You know my name?
00:10:29Well, agents weren't supposed to know their own codenames.
00:10:32I'm calling anyone Homer in public.
00:10:33We can help you.
00:10:34With nuclear physics.
00:10:36An evening course?
00:10:37We had men inside weapons program.
00:10:40A physicist.
00:10:41He can tell you everything.
00:10:42But why don't you get him to bring out what you need?
00:10:45He doesn't have your privileged access.
00:10:47Sir.
00:10:48A spot of nuclear physics to fill in alongside my work at the embassy.
00:10:51My new baby.
00:10:52The endless embassy social world.
00:10:54Trying to keep my wife happy.
00:10:55I'm not forgetting my run-of-the-mill spy.
00:10:58America has weapons that could destroy Soviet Union.
00:11:02We do not have same weapons.
00:11:04There are those inside United States government who advocate using those weapons whilst they have this advantage.
00:11:10This is the most dangerous time for our cause.
00:11:12You are very important, Homer.
00:11:14We care very much about the stress you are under.
00:11:17But in the scheme of things, you will forgive me for viewing our personal problems as secondary.
00:11:27Do you have something personal with you?
00:11:30Photograph or something.
00:11:42Do you have something personal with you?
00:12:00It's fun.
00:12:08Need a guide?
00:12:38She's beautiful, dear wife.
00:12:43Yes.
00:12:50Are you married?
00:13:01They tear all our loved ones in half.
00:13:06Does she know about what you do?
00:13:08She is dead.
00:13:10Sorry.
00:13:11Committed suicide.
00:13:13Strange term.
00:13:15Committed suicide.
00:13:16Like a crime.
00:13:19She killed herself because she couldn't stand to live in a world where the Nazis could do as they were doing.
00:13:25Suicide was an act of profound moral principle, not a crime.
00:13:35Donald McLean.
00:13:36We're not supposed to exchange names.
00:13:39No, against the rules.
00:13:42Klaus Fuchs.
00:13:47You lived in Germany?
00:13:48Yeah.
00:13:49I came to America in 1939, along with most of the German scientists I knew.
00:13:54And our gift to our new country has been the bomb.
00:14:00I have some glue.
00:14:01You can stick your beautiful wife back together.
00:14:05By the time she is dry, you will know everything you need to know about nuclear physics.
00:14:11He's in New York.
00:14:27She's back in Washington.
00:14:28I know what the whisper is.
00:14:29What?
00:14:32What's the whisper?
00:14:34Come on.
00:14:34The whisper is Donald has got a mistress in New York.
00:14:38Really?
00:14:38Where did you hear that?
00:14:40An intelligent friend.
00:14:41Hello, Melinda.
00:14:49Don't let me interrupt.
00:14:51Go ahead.
00:14:52What were you saying?
00:14:53We were just, uh, gossiping.
00:14:56I love gossip.
00:14:58What's the gossip?
00:14:59Something exciting?
00:15:02This and that?
00:15:03This and what?
00:15:04Let me in on it.
00:15:06You're dying to tell.
00:15:07I can see you are.
00:15:08Go on.
00:15:09What's the matter?
00:15:10Mouth a bit dry?
00:15:12Lips dry, too?
00:15:14Here, have a drink.
00:15:16Hello, Melinda.
00:15:19Lost none of your balls, I see.
00:15:20It's easy to have balls when everyone around you so...
00:15:23British?
00:15:23Are you still learning to spy from the Brits?
00:15:27They taught me nothing I know.
00:15:29And you know everything now.
00:15:30I am the head of counterintelligence in a new agency.
00:15:32It's called the CIA.
00:15:34Your very own acronym.
00:15:35I'm really impressed.
00:15:37Are you going to tell me what that little lime he did to deserve a glass of wine in his face,
00:15:40or do I need to impress you some more first?
00:15:42No.
00:15:44No to which question?
00:15:45Both.
00:15:48See you later, James Jesus Angleton.
00:15:53Darling?
00:16:00Darling?
00:16:10Where is he?
00:16:11Upstairs?
00:16:11How was the party?
00:16:24You haven't told them, have you?
00:16:30You'll never tell them you want out.
00:16:33It's too important, Melinda.
00:16:35What I'm doing.
00:16:36More important than him?
00:16:38More important than his growing up with a father who lies for a living?
00:16:42That's not fair.
00:16:43No.
00:16:44No, you're right.
00:16:45You're out there changing the world.
00:16:48I'm sorry, dear.
00:16:49You'll have to put up with a little personal humiliation because the future of mankind is at stake.
00:16:53Humiliation?
00:16:54They think you're in New York, fucking another woman.
00:16:59Do you know how that feels?
00:17:02Do you know how unbelievably humiliating that is?
00:17:05It's just really hard, Melinda.
00:17:07I need you.
00:17:08Hard for you.
00:17:09Hard for you.
00:17:11I so badly wanted to tell them he's not fucking another woman.
00:17:15He's in New York fucking you all.
00:17:18Fucking the entire country, in fact.
00:17:21The irony is, I threw a glass of wine in a pathetic diplomat's face to protect your honor.
00:17:27Our honor.
00:17:28Which no doubt makes him and all the rest of them think they're right.
00:17:32You do have a mistress.
00:17:34I've given you the perfect cover.
00:17:37Why else would she be throwing wine about?
00:17:40America is being run by dangerous paranoid maniacs.
00:17:43They have the bomb, they have the enemy, and they have power.
00:17:47It makes them capable of anything.
00:17:49I'm working for his safety, his freedom.
00:17:52But where is us in all of this?
00:17:56Where is our life?
00:17:58Where is our family?
00:18:02I want our life back.
00:18:05Just give me a little time.
00:18:10I don't believe you.
00:18:13I don't believe you'll get out.
00:18:15Last night, one of our planes operating the long-range detection system tracked a suspicious cloud over the Northwest Pacific.
00:18:39They got an air sample.
00:18:41The sample is radioactive.
00:18:42The strength of the radioactivity and the position of the clouds suggest one thing.
00:18:47Oh, my God.
00:18:49The USSR tested its first atomic bomb.
00:18:52Probably the day before yesterday.
00:18:54Years early.
00:18:55I mean, all our intelligence was saying at least two years...
00:18:57I know what our intelligence was saying.
00:19:01There must be a leak.
00:19:03Atom bomb spies.
00:19:04I've had two-thirds of my stomach removed because of goddamn ulcers.
00:19:09I'm planning on keeping the rest of my stomach, Angleton.
00:19:12No more ulcers.
00:19:13Find the leak.
00:19:15Plug it.
00:19:16The president wants all Americans to know that we have evidence that within recent weeks, an atomic explosion occurred in the USSR.
00:19:26Remember this day.
00:19:28The day the USSR tested its first atomic bomb.
00:19:32The day the world changed.
00:19:33The day the world got much colder.
00:19:35During the war, we got hold of a KGB codebook in Finland.
00:19:52Roosevelt made us send it back.
00:19:54To our Soviet ally.
00:19:55And we did.
00:19:57But we copied it first.
00:19:58By itself, the codebook is useless to us.
00:20:01Why don't you cut the crap and give me the beef, Angleton?
00:20:02The only copies of the one-time pads they used to decipher this are in KGB headquarters in Moscow.
00:20:09If Moscow uses them only once...
00:20:11Pads? What pads? Fuck the pads! Give me the damn beef!
00:20:14We can read parts of their coded messages.
00:20:17Well, what have we got?
00:20:20Sections of a scientific report written from inside the Manhattan Project.
00:20:26Arthur?
00:20:27We're working on that. Won't take long.
00:20:30Anything else?
00:20:32Something rather sensitive.
00:20:34It's all sensitive. Spit it out, Angleton!
00:20:36What we've decoded seems to tell us that there's a mole inside the British Embassy.
00:20:42Seems to.
00:20:43You have a name?
00:20:44Only the code name the Soviets have for him.
00:20:46Homer.
00:20:47And one clue.
00:20:49Homer has family in New York.
00:20:52Family in New York?
00:20:54Then it must be an American employee.
00:20:56In the kitchen, probably. That's the easiest route in.
00:20:59Somebody downstairs.
00:21:00Could be a cleaner.
00:21:01Or maybe a commie chef.
00:21:06Leave it to me.
00:21:07We'll root out, Homer.
00:21:09Will you be looking upstairs as well as downstairs?
00:21:12Well, why should we do that?
00:21:14Upstairs is beyond reproach, Angleton.
00:21:16All that complacency and smugness. I can't stand it. Upstairs is beyond reproach.
00:21:25I have some good news.
00:21:28We've confirmed who was leaking from inside the Manhattan Project.
00:21:31A German Jew called Klaus Fuchs.
00:21:41Bloody hell!
00:21:43Donald?
00:21:44I don't know what we did with the photograph.
00:21:47Photograph?
00:21:48What photograph?
00:21:48It's of you.
00:21:50I can't remember where we put it.
00:21:53Good night.
00:22:04You're okay.
00:22:19Well, thank you.
00:22:20What? What? You want my money? Why didn't you just bloody say it? What's the matter
00:22:41of the money, mister? Hey, hey, hey! Get out of here!
00:23:11Of course, he's under a lot of stress. There's a new baby, a new job. Yes. Yes. Yes. Look, Melinda,
00:23:20if there's something else, it would be a good idea if you were to tell me. Why do you think
00:23:25there might be something else? Well, how can I put it? I mean, Donald has a very solid,
00:23:32very reliable forehand. But he has another side to his game. A heavy slice on his backhand
00:23:39and lots of disguise on his lob. I'm sorry. Well, he has you, his wife, and he has a mistress.
00:23:52I mean, that's what people are saying. Have you? I've preferred not to ask. No, no, quite.
00:24:02Too painful. I understand. What do you mean you're sending him home? It's what he needs.
00:24:11Slapped wrist and a ticket home. That's what you get for being a violent lunatic. You can't do it.
00:24:17Oh, it's done. He's on his way home as we speak. Unbelievable. The carpet in this office,
00:24:23wall to wall. Only it isn't. There's a loose corner, far side of the room,
00:24:29furthest corner from the door. You can lift it right up. Sweep anything you choose under it.
00:24:36Knowing what to sweep under the carpet is the art of diplomacy, wouldn't you say?
00:24:41How's the Homer investigation? We've done all the chefs. We're halfway through the waiting staff.
00:24:46It's been weeks, for Christ's sake. Methodical is best. Why don't you look from the top down at the
00:24:53same time as the bottom up? Traitors don't come from the top. Not in England.
00:25:01I'm all yours.
00:25:05My hush-hush days are over.
00:25:08You mean you no longer work for MI5?
00:25:13They're princesses.
00:25:15What do you think they're going to do? Ring up the Daily Mail?
00:25:17Are you tired, Charles? I'll take you up. There, there.
00:25:24Hello. Hello.
00:25:34Terrific ears for a young chap.
00:25:36Yes.
00:25:39So.
00:25:42Any skeletons, Anthony? Anything you wouldn't want the Daily Mail to know?
00:25:47No.
00:25:50And you're very fond of the princesses.
00:25:52Particularly Margaret.
00:25:53Very.
00:25:55Such a pity about your married quarters going missing.
00:25:58Ma'am?
00:25:59Your downstairs arrangements.
00:26:02Ladies, so I'm told, are not permitted to show an interest in Anthony Blunt's Percy
00:26:06pointer.
00:26:07Not even princesses.
00:26:09Any other vices you'd be prepared to lie to me about not having?
00:26:13I don't consider the modus operandi of my Percy to be a vice.
00:26:16I don't do Latin, Anthony.
00:26:19Only swaki malipons is as far as I go.
00:26:22Drink?
00:26:28You didn't answer my question about vices.
00:26:31In fact, you rather swerved it.
00:26:33Um, I used to be quite keen on Marx.
00:26:37Groucho?
00:26:38The other one.
00:26:39Harper, the deaf one.
00:26:40Carl, the bearded one.
00:26:42Boyles?
00:26:43Yes, lots, apparently.
00:26:45On his married quarters.
00:26:46No, no.
00:26:46On his bottom.
00:26:47Another country altogether.
00:26:50So, you're a homosexualist.
00:26:54A lapsed Marxist.
00:26:56And I'm related to you.
00:26:58You and me, Anthony.
00:27:01Two queens in a pod.
00:27:03You and I, ma'am.
00:27:04There's a married group captain sniffing about Margaret.
00:27:11Oh, dear.
00:27:13Poor Margaret's completely blinded by his twinkle.
00:27:17Of course I know I can trust you to keep this to your soul.
00:27:21I would never betray a member of the family.
00:27:31Spotted dog.
00:27:33Or is it Dick now?
00:27:34Language changes so quickly one can't keep track.
00:27:37Plits.
00:27:38Ah.
00:27:39Anyway, it's spotted.
00:27:42Reminds me of school.
00:27:43Reminds me of school.
00:27:44Reminds me of school.
00:27:45Reminds me of school.
00:27:47Custard?
00:27:48Oh, yes, please.
00:27:49Oh, my dog's on fire.
00:27:58Or is it my dick?
00:28:00Talking of my dick.
00:28:02It's Bird's Custard.
00:28:03Alfred Bird.
00:28:051811 to 1878.
00:28:07His wife suffered from a terrible digestive disorder.
00:28:10She couldn't eat anything made with eggs or yeast.
00:28:14So no custard.
00:28:14But she loved custard, so her husband started experimenting.
00:28:17And after years of trying, he came up with a new custard.
00:28:20Oh, made with corn flour and milk.
00:28:22Bird's custard.
00:28:23People think of it as inferior.
00:28:26Cheap.
00:28:27A substitute.
00:28:28It's not.
00:28:29It's made with love.
00:28:30I've got some news.
00:28:37It's not official yet, but I think I can tell you.
00:28:39The Philbys are going to Washington.
00:28:41Kim is replacing Donald.
00:28:43Ship's in the night, you and Donald.
00:28:45But you and he won't have time to catch up.
00:28:47Nor you and Melinda.
00:28:53Delicious custard.
00:28:54You must stay with Donald.
00:29:05You know that.
00:29:07I take it from you.
00:29:09I take everything you say and do it.
00:29:12It's a relief to be told what to do.
00:29:15Be strong.
00:29:17Help Donald and you'll be helping me.
00:29:20You wouldn't use me, would you, Kim?
00:29:22Use you?
00:29:23No.
00:29:24God, no.
00:29:26It's such a relief to talk to someone who means what they say.
00:29:29I don't think I could stand it if I didn't have that.
00:29:43That's the first time you've touched me.
00:29:45The question you asked, can you love two people at once?
00:29:53The answer's no.
00:29:57We'll be moving into your house in Washington.
00:30:01Mr. and Mrs. Philby and Mr. and Mrs. MacLean's house.
00:30:04And because the answer's no, I'm not going to try.
00:30:10I'm going to be Mrs. MacLean.
00:30:15The American's deeply unreliable at the moment.
00:30:29McCarthy and his witch hunts, the FBI-CIA rivalry, everyone's a communist.
00:30:33It's important we don't catch the disease.
00:30:34Paranoia is crippling.
00:30:36The Homer investigation, I want to do it properly.
00:30:39My way.
00:30:40Our way.
00:30:41I'm going to go back over all of the waiting staff and the cleaners.
00:30:44That's to be the place to look.
00:30:46We have to keep our feet on the ground.
00:30:48Just because the Yanks jump, he doesn't mean we have to go mad too.
00:30:52I'm glad you're here, Kim.
00:30:54Safe pair of hands.
00:30:57Oh, by the way, we've got a new man joining us from London.
00:30:59Bit of a cove, apparently.
00:31:01Name of Guy Burgess.
00:31:02It's against all the rules to have fellow agents living in your house.
00:31:08Look, I'm going to be C.
00:31:10I'm going to be head of MI6.
00:31:12And when that happens, Moscow will know everything about everything in British intelligence.
00:31:15I'm not prepared to jeopardize it all by letting Guy Burgess run amok.
00:31:19He's going to live with me.
00:31:20End of story.
00:31:21It'll be fine.
00:31:24What can he do?
00:31:27Hmm.
00:31:28Guy lives in the spare room.
00:31:29It's an arrangement that works well.
00:31:31You didn't invite him tonight?
00:31:34Separate lives.
00:31:39Hello.
00:31:41Hello, Guy.
00:31:42Care to join you?
00:31:43Yes, I think I fucking well will, actually.
00:31:45Oh, the wifely hand on the husband's arm.
00:31:51Darling, do get him under control, or else goodness knows what he might do.
00:31:54Guy.
00:31:55Kim?
00:31:56Darling.
00:31:57Darling, please, really.
00:31:59Guy.
00:32:01Kim?
00:32:02What happened, Burgess?
00:32:04I got beaten up by a keen theatre-goer, Angleton.
00:32:08Why?
00:32:10In England, when one is having a piss at a urinal,
00:32:13and eight urinals either side of one are unoccupied,
00:32:16and a man comes in and doesn't choose to piss seven urinals away,
00:32:19or even three urinals away,
00:32:21but stands right bloody next to you,
00:32:23then it means something.
00:32:25And when, apropos of bugger all,
00:32:27he starts up a bit of a chat about new writing in the theatre,
00:32:31it means bugger me, frankly.
00:32:34But not here, it would seem.
00:32:37Apparently, in this appallingly friendly country,
00:32:42it means nothing of the kind.
00:32:44It means what it is.
00:32:47Passing pleasantries in a public lavatory in the middle of the night.
00:32:53What happened?
00:32:56What happened?
00:32:58What happened?
00:33:03I asked him to say hello
00:33:05to Great Britain's answer
00:33:08to Enola Gay.
00:33:15Do you know the story of Bird's Custard?
00:33:17We're going home.
00:33:18James, I'll be back from my car in the morning.
00:33:31I don't believe in drinking and driving.
00:33:37A little touch of Harry in the night.
00:33:45Does it feel like the night before Agincourt?
00:33:48We've come a long way together.
00:33:51Twenty years.
00:33:53Still burns.
00:33:55Belief.
00:33:58In the belly.
00:34:04You think we'll be all right?
00:34:10You didn't answer my question.
00:34:14Are we going to be all right?
00:34:17Domino's going.
00:34:18When one of us falls,
00:34:21the first to fall knocks the next one down,
00:34:23and the second knocks the third man down,
00:34:25and the third the fourth.
00:34:28We stand all full together.
00:34:34I think you could think about that guy.
00:34:42Guy.
00:34:42The poor condemned it, English.
00:34:54The poor condemned it, English.
00:34:56The sacrifices by their watchful fires
00:34:58sit patiently and inly ruminated
00:35:00the morning's danger.
00:35:03And their gestures sad,
00:35:05investing plain clean cheeks
00:35:06and war-worn coats,
00:35:09present her thumb under the gazing moon.
00:35:10So many horrid ghosts.
00:35:19Lord Halifax,
00:35:20we've got it down to four,
00:35:22and none of them are downstairs.
00:35:23Homer is upstairs.
00:35:25What?
00:35:25In the spirit of cooperation
00:35:26between two great countries,
00:35:28we thought you could do with some help.
00:35:29Are you suggesting that Philby has been slow?
00:35:31What do you think this is?
00:35:35A game of chess.
00:35:37It's real life.
00:35:39Things happen because of what people like Homer do.
00:35:42People die.
00:35:43Freedom is threatened.
00:35:44It matters.
00:35:45Stiff upper lips and decorum
00:35:47and good manners can go hang.
00:35:51Down to four, you say?
00:35:52Here's the list of names.
00:36:02I'd be grateful if you could keep the names
00:36:04on the list to yourself.
00:36:07No one else should see it.
00:36:08I'd be grateful if you could keep it.
00:36:38Your boo, gentle, neem, McLean.
00:37:08They're down to four, Homer.
00:37:27It's one of four.
00:37:28McLean is on the list.
00:37:32I see.
00:37:34So what the hell are you going to do about it?
00:37:38What?
00:37:47The longer the Homer inquiry goes on, the more chance there is of them connecting you to Homer.
00:37:51And you are very valuable to us.
00:37:54What are you saying?
00:37:55As you said, you could be about to become best placed agent we have ever had.
00:38:00Having you as C would be more useful than anything in the whole history of our activities.
00:38:04If we need to make sacrifice in order to protect you, then it should be made.
00:38:09What are you saying?
00:38:11Homer is burnt out case.
00:38:13My God, you're saying I should sacrifice Donald.
00:38:15I'm saying that if you were to help bring inquiry to a conclusion, then both you and our cause would be better served.
00:38:22Give Donald up.
00:38:23Give Homer up.
00:38:24His name is Donald McLean.
00:38:26I won't do this.
00:38:30I won't do it.
00:38:33You know that I'm right.
00:38:35You might be angry, but you know that I'm right.
00:38:37And he hasn't been Donald McLean for years.
00:38:40He is Homer.
00:38:46And Homer is lost.
00:38:47I won't do it.
00:39:17What do you think?
00:39:35Look, look.
00:39:36Is it safe?
00:39:37Well, I haven't finished.
00:39:38It will be safe.
00:39:40I promise.
00:39:41Penny for your thoughts, Kim.
00:39:54All my thoughts are more expensive than that.
00:39:59Homer.
00:40:02What about it?
00:40:03We were down to four.
00:40:05Now we're down to two.
00:40:06Paul Gore Booth.
00:40:08Donald McLean.
00:40:11They both have family in New York.
00:40:12They were both on the embassy staff at the right time.
00:40:20The Russian for Homer is Gomer.
00:40:24It's a neo-anagram of Gore.
00:40:34Will you excuse me?
00:40:37Nature calls.
00:40:37Philby's known McLean for years.
00:40:45The British intelligence service works like a gentleman's club.
00:40:49They look after each other because they wear the same tie.
00:40:53Ties are everything.
00:40:56Philby's pointing us towards Gore Booth.
00:40:59Philby doesn't know Gore Booth.
00:41:00I think we've got our man.
00:41:22So, middle of the night.
00:41:24House call.
00:41:26What's the story?
00:41:30There are two men who might be Homer.
00:41:33Gore Booth and McLean.
00:41:35Both have family in New York.
00:41:37Both were in the right place at the right time.
00:41:40Yes.
00:41:41Gore Booth is short, dark, smart.
00:41:44Yes.
00:41:45Donald McLean is tall, fair Scott with bohemian tastes.
00:41:49So?
00:41:49Some years ago, a KGB man called Walter Kravitsky tried to defect to the West.
00:42:02I remember.
00:42:03Murdered in a Washington hotel.
00:42:06Before he was murdered, he gave us a taste of what he could offer.
00:42:12He told us there was a spy in the Foreign Office.
00:42:15He didn't give a name, he gave a description.
00:42:17What was the description?
00:42:29Short, dark, smart.
00:42:35A tall, fair Scott with bohemian tastes.
00:42:38I know who Homer is.
00:42:49McLean.
00:42:52How did you...
00:42:53Filby told me.
00:42:54The British beat you to it after all, James.
00:42:58I've had my concerns about Filby.
00:43:00Well, that's the end of them.
00:43:02Kim Filby is on the side of the angels.
00:43:04The devil was an angel.
00:43:08Don't tell me you're a sore loser, James.
00:43:11Filby got there first.
00:43:13He shopped McLean.
00:43:14Now, what kind of a traitor would shop another traitor, hmm?
00:43:17Close the door on the way out.
00:43:19I played tennis with him.
00:43:28I want to do it our way.
00:43:30I don't want the Americans all over this.
00:43:32Private grief.
00:43:34It's a huge shock to us all.
00:43:37I'll contact London.
00:43:38He was a friend of yours.
00:43:49Yes, he was.
00:43:51I'm sorry.
00:43:53I'm so sorry.
00:44:00We're worried they won't go.
00:44:02Leaving his son.
00:44:03And his wife.
00:44:05It's hard to leave happy family.
00:44:07Are they happy?
00:44:07It's what I'm told.
00:44:10He needs an escort.
00:44:12Someone needs to go with him.
00:44:16Drink up.
00:44:21Now, get in your car.
00:44:24You're going home, guy.
00:44:26How?
00:44:27Bad behavior gets you sent home.
00:44:30Shouldn't be too hard for a man like you.
00:44:37White picket fences.
00:44:46White picket fences.
00:44:46White picket fences.
00:44:47All right.
00:45:06All right.
00:45:14God bless America.
00:45:20White picket fences, apple pie, Shirley Temple, the Ku Klux Klan, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the CIA.
00:45:30White socks, bobby socks, red necks.
00:45:34God bless America.
00:45:37String up those niggers.
00:45:40Fry them communists.
00:45:43God bless America, land of the free.
00:45:54Burgess is being sent home.
00:45:56Why?
00:45:57He invented a non-American activity all of his own.
00:46:00I can imagine.
00:46:01It was planned.
00:46:03What do you mean planned?
00:46:05McClane needs escort.
00:46:06To Southampton?
00:46:08To France?
00:46:11Philby is valuable.
00:46:13You are valuable.
00:46:15We think we can keep you safe.
00:46:16Moscow.
00:46:19You want Guy to go too?
00:46:23He doesn't know and he mustn't know.
00:46:25He thinks he's taking McClane to France.
00:46:27You want me to lie to him?
00:46:28Reassure him.
00:46:29Lie?
00:46:29Let's call a spade a spade.
00:46:30He's burnt out case.
00:46:31He's my best friend.
00:46:32McClane gets the 519 from Charing Cross every night.
00:46:42The man in the hat and the coat with the briefcase and the brolly.
00:46:46I've always had my concerns.
00:46:48I'd prefer not to hear your told-you-so speech right now.
00:46:51Let's put a tail on him.
00:46:53We've had a directive from above.
00:46:55What?
00:46:56No tails at weekends.
00:46:58It's a money problem.
00:47:00Saves us paying overtime, is he?
00:47:01What?
00:47:02What?
00:47:03We'll pick him up on Monday.
00:47:05He has no reason to suspect we're on to him.
00:47:08Let him come into the office as normal.
00:47:10Then swoop.
00:47:22You should get a coat.
00:47:24I've got this one.
00:47:26Channel crossings can be chilly, and some are loads of cold places.
00:47:29And nothing's cold as Cambridge, remember?
00:47:32Permanently the 19th of February.
00:47:36I'd like to go back.
00:47:38There isn't time, Guy.
00:47:40No.
00:47:48One or two places as cold as Cambridge.
00:47:53One or two.
00:47:58I'll buy you a coat.
00:48:00I'd like to.
00:48:02You should have a good coat.
00:48:04Are you all right, sir?
00:48:17Yeah, I'm fine, thank you.
00:48:18Did I hit you?
00:48:19No, I'm fine.
00:48:20Are you sure you're all right?
00:48:20I'm fine, thank you.
00:48:21I'm fine, thank you.
00:48:22I'm fine.
00:48:23I'm fine.
00:48:24I'm fine.
00:48:25I'm fine.
00:48:26I'm fine.
00:48:27I'm fine.
00:48:28I think I saw Guy Burgess here in London.
00:48:32What do you mean you know he's here?
00:48:36Why didn't you tell me?
00:48:37Christ.
00:48:38Why would he come back now?
00:48:41No, it's too much of a coincidence.
00:48:43He's friends with MacLean, he's been living with Kim Philby, and Philby will know we're
00:48:47pulling MacLean in.
00:48:48Bloody hell!
00:48:49I think MacLean's going to go.
00:48:51I think he's going to make a run for it.
00:49:13Can't find my coffee at Millmarch.
00:49:15Where am I?
00:49:19So I'll let you have it back as soon as I...
00:49:24Whenever you can.
00:49:40No, no.
00:49:42No, no.
00:49:49No.
00:50:11Oh, my God.
00:50:12Yes, sir.
00:50:13I don't know.
00:50:43The house could be bugged. We'll have supper, talk about nothing. You and I will go out, and drive to the pub.
00:50:53I see.
00:50:55My name is Roger Stiles, for the purposes of supper and the benefit of the bugs. I'm an old school friend of yours.
00:51:02Do you think it will hold?
00:51:04The swing looks like it.
00:51:08I should test it. Do you mind?
00:51:13I'll put it up.
00:51:16I want to turn it on.
00:51:18No one is king.
00:51:21Oh, I'll take this thing.
00:51:22I'm gonna do it.
00:51:31I'm gonna do it.
00:51:32I am gonna do it.

00:57:39Burgess, Maclean, Philby.
00:57:41Have they all gone on to great things?
00:57:43I don't know.
00:57:45Last touch.
00:57:46Yes, last touch.
00:57:49All gone.
00:58:00Great things.
00:58:03Yes.
00:58:06Yes.
00:58:07They all went on to great things.
00:58:11Yes.
00:58:12Yes.
00:58:13Yes.
00:58:14Yes.
00:58:25Yes.
00:58:27Walked upon England's mountain stream
00:58:33And was the holy Lamb of God
00:58:40On England's blessed lost your sea
00:58:47And in the mountain and still high
00:58:53Shine all alone
00:59:23Shine all alone
00:59:31Shine all alone
00:59:33In the mountain and still high
00:59:38Shine all alone
00:59:44Shine all alone
