02:10And to start his orders.
02:12The important point is who gets away first.
02:16Just going for a walk.

02:19Back with you in a minute.
02:32Peter?
02:35All clear?
02:37As far as I can judge.
02:38No promises.
02:39I think you should come down now.
02:46Proceed?
02:47Proceed.
02:48Proceed.
02:57What's that?
02:59Nothing.
02:59Just fiddling.
03:00You there?
03:12Yes.
03:12Someone just leaving.
03:25I can't quite make him out.
03:29Called a taxi right to the door.
03:33Cheeky.
03:34Join us.
03:35He's over a lot.
03:37You there.
03:37I can't quite ask.
03:48Get out.
03:49Joe.
03:50своего,
03:51yourojie.
03:51Let them come on.
03:51Oh, thank you.
03:52I should see that, right.
03:53quickly.
03:53What about you?
03:54No, I sou endorse.
03:55Why is this coming?
03:55Who's coming from?
03:56Let them back us.
03:57Well, it is a good one.
03:58What was it?
03:59What?
07:30Alex.
07:31Oh, they're on.
07:34Do you mind if I finish my drink, George?
07:37There was no one out there you noticed.
07:39Quiet as a grave.
07:41That's the other one.
07:42Very proper, George.
07:44Don't want anything irrelevant, do we?
07:47What is it?
07:48Very tidy, George.
07:52The other line won't be fairies.
07:54He's got to.
07:55He'll delay just long enough to keep his dignity.
07:58He can't jump the moment Ricky Tarr tells him so.
08:01We know his child would never stick his neck out like this
08:04unless he's got something precious.
08:07Something to buy back his good name.
08:10And then some.
08:12And you and I know what it is.
08:15Carla's got 24 hours to pull me out.
08:19The time has come, Alex.
08:26Well, that's that.
08:28Congratulations, George.
08:30Next step, gentlemen.
08:33Would you agree with me, Percy,
08:35that our best course is to make some positive use of Bill Hayden?
08:39We need to salvage whatever's left of the networks he's betrayed.
08:45Yes.
08:47So we hope this is possible.
08:50Well, this was a difficult one.
08:51I hope you enjoyed, and we're gonna leave a lot of the networks.
08:54See you soon.
08:57Thanks so much for watching today.
08:59Thank you very much.
