F***ing

press are everywhere.

Do not let them make you.

All right.

Just remember, lads,

we're cleaners.

Aye. Cleaners armed

to the f***ing teeth.

Now, this is more

like it, lads.

...no sooner

did the iranians burst

into the iranian embassy,

police interpreter made

the first contact with them

trying to get the

hostages released

and find out what precisely

the raiders wanted.

They are demanding the release

of 91 arabs held in prison

in south Iran.

If the demands are not met,

they will blow up the hostages

and themselves.

Police are keeping

the foreign office

informed of developments,

but they are in full charge.

Most of the negotiations have

been conducted with one man.

The police are operating with

their customary caution.

Fewest possible details

of the police operation

have been disclosed.

In a tense

reference to the siege,

in the commons this afternoon,

the home secretary said,

'we are in the middle of

delicate operations.'

and of

course we assume

there is a significantly

greater number

of iranian hostages,

mostly staff of the embassy.

He reiterated that police aid

the release of the hostages

without bloodshed.

Iranian government's accused

western governments -- it's

the west's fault, as usual.

Have you seen this?

dear old mail. Never fails.

This, apparently, is our fault.

Watch out! BBC are here,

inflaming the

situation as usual.

Piss off, Jimmy.

Yeah, piss off, Jimmy.

Ok.

Let's get on with it.

Nice cape.

Thank you.

Hey. Tom didn't go

home last night.

No. Wish I was. Stayed here

with the night shift.

He's wound tighter

than a horse's arse.

Seen this? A hostage

in the embassy

called the BBC's London office.

It was leaked from there.

I thought they cut everything.

Apparently there's a

phone still operating.

We can't negotiate

in the bloody press.

One hour till deadline, boys.

Maggie's made it clear

anybody gets killed,

she's sending us in.

Is there anything

else we should know?

No. It's a black hole.

So it's in through the front

door and hope the whole place

doesn't go 'bang', then.

Right.

You all right, mate?

Font color="#00ff00" yeah.

Get him talking.

we need to buy some time.

Hello?

He demands the release of

his comrades in arabistan.

Your government must

or they will take action.

Tell him our bosses are

looking at their demands,

trying to contact Iran.

They have already

talked to Tehran.

Tell them they have no power in

the situation. They're trapped.

Don't they understand?

Tom...

What did the iranians

say to them?

They welcome all the

hostages to be martyrs

for the great

islamic state of Iran.

This is sunray. Stand to.

15 minutes till deadline.
