Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Page #2
Smiley is suspicious, Percy.
Where did it come from?
What's the access?
But how could he
possibly have access?
He has access to the most sensitive
levels of policy-making.
We've named the operation Witchcraft.
Oh, Percy and his pals
bypassed us, Smiley.
Gone straight to the minister.
Percy has been allowed to k eep
the identity of his new friend
top secret.
The minister agrees too many secrets
Too much failure,
too many scandals.
- Too little solid intelligence.
- Percy does have a point, Control.
We should be fighting Communism,
not each other.
Meanwhile we're losing our reputation,
our partners.
Your bloody Yank s!
We've had enough!
There's going to be changes.
We need to decide if want to be
part of the past or part of the future.
I should have left you
where I found you.
- Look!
- Control...
Out, all of you!
If Witchcraft is genuine...
Nothing is genuine any more.
George...
Do you want me to get
this stuff over to the hotel?
Thank you. Er, anywhere will do.
- Peter?
- Hm?
I need you to do something for me.
I'd lik e you to go to the Circus.
'Ln the cabinet
at the duty officers' station
'are records of staff recently retired.
'I'd like photographs of them
'and of the diagram of the Circus's
reorganisation under Percy Alleline,
'along with a list of all payments
made from the Reptile fund.'
- Help you with anything, Bill?
- I was just looking for his Majesty.
Well, he's out walking the battlements.
Oh.
- Heard you had an accident, Peter.
- Yeah, I cut my hand open on a drawer.
When are you going
to get some new furniture up here?
I'll have a word with Esterhase.
We'll mak e it a priority on the top floor.
- Where are you off to?
- Lunch.
Want some company?
According to the personnel files,
seven were due for retirement anyway.
Another four don't seem
particularly mysterious.
Jerry Westerby was dismissed
December 4.
Connie Sachs retired November 28.
That's just two week s
after you and Control were forced out.
- Return to Oxford, please.
- That's 1. 15.
Percy has always resisted
any proposal
of a wider exploitation
of Witchcraft's intelligence.
Drop the bloody jargon, Lacon.
I've refused to share Witchcraft
with our allies so far, Minister.
Greedy boy.
My goal has been to establish
its track record beyond all doubt.
I think the time has come to approach
our American brothers-in-arms.
- Will they tak e us back into bed?
- I'm not interested in a one-off trade.
I want on-going access
to American intelligence.
You think we can get it?
With Witchcraft on our side, we can
