I'm not really clever, Rollo.
I don't have what they call a first-class mind.
You were first class.
Sure. Look where it got me.
- I'm a journalist.
- A journalist who still works for us.
- Do l?
- Don't you get the cheques?
What are the cheques gonna get me, huh?
A house in Tuscany?
When? With whom? With the waiter?
Can't you go and do
some sort of profile on her?
I work in the foreign desk.
What possible interest
would I have in Nancy Pierpan?
So you do know who she is.
You were always quick, Johnny.
Not too clever, right enough,
but you are quick.
- England's a small country, isn't it?
- You tell me.
I mean, it's multi-cultural, sure.
There's more chaps named Shah, Patel.
But nothing's really changed.
It's still run by the same old crowd.
Is it? I don't know who runs England.
The bankers did,
and look what happened to them.
What I'm saying is there's still
an awful lot of people named Baron,
and Worricker and Pierpan.
Nancy was born in Damascus.
Her father was an Arabist.
What sort of Arabist?
Romance of the desert, that sort of thing?
Lawrence of Arabia?
- Why do you need to know?
- Because she's taking an interest in me.
What sort of an interest?
Making a play? Is she making a play?
She was putting out the rubbish.
She pretended it was a coincidence.
- Well, aren't you flattered?
- No.
What's the file?
Are you gonna show it to me?
Do you know...
I don't think I am.

What is this?
They're saying I need a new pass.
I was given a temporary. What's going on?
Of course I'm not gonna throw a wobbly.
When was the last time I threw a wobbly?
- 7/7.
- Exactly. I threw a wobbly
because suicide bombers
killed 56 people on the streets of London
and we had no idea it was going to happen.
I didn't throw a wobbly
because my pass had been blocked.
No. You're really sweet.
Who changes the passes?
Who orders the passes to be changed?
Who do you think?
(SOFTLY) Take this
and just make sure it's done.
What did you think of the file?
- What did I think of it?
- Yes.
I haven't finished it yet.
I haven't absorbed it.
I hardly need say, on no account
is that file to leave the premises.
Gold standard.
- I didn't know if you'd make it.
- (GASPS)
I promised I'd make it, didn't l?
- I thought you were abroad.
- Who told you that?
Mum.
Mum said that
she always knows where you are.
Does she? Paranormal, is she? Physic?
(JULIANNE CHUCKLES)
- Hey, Dad.
- Hello.
You're going to have to
explain these to me.
JULIANNE:
Do you want to have dinner afterwards?
I thought you'd have
lots of young men attendant.
- You don't want to have dinner with me.
