Hidden Agenda Page #9

Do you want an expensive car

or a cheap car?

It doesn't matter. I don't care.

Look, I've had Americans before.

I just want to know what type car...

Just go.

It doesn't matter! Just go!

Okay. There's a friend of mine

over at one place.

- Fine.

- I'll bring you there, will I?

Fine. Great.

What you will hear on this tape

is a conversation...

which took place at the home

of Mr. Alec Nevin.

Its purpose was to establish

a Conservative government...

with a right-wing leadership.

I had shown support...

and therefore was invited

to attend the meeting.

I wore a recording device

activated by voice.

Letting people off the leash a bit,

in that direction...

the military and our friends

in the intelligence community...

is really enhancing the case

for quite dramatic...

constitutional resolution

of this crisis...

Indeed.

Don't underestimate the flexibility...

We need to pressure the Palace into

giving legitimacy to what we need to do.

Indeed. You underestimate,

we all underestimate...

the flexibility of this constitution

of ours. We can do almost anything.

What are his weaknesses?

What can we have circulated?

And what rumors can we make stick?

We all know about Heath.

We all know what we think about him.

We should look to 5 to...

assist in this matter.

Can you try

Ms. Jessner's room again, please?

Have you paged her?

No. No message. Thanks.

- I don't suppose we'll be needing this?

- What's that?

It's the dossier you asked me to prepare

on those six names.

Thanks.

Insurance.

- Shall I take the luggage down now, sir?

- Please do.

It isn't your fault.

They must have followed her.

I'll pick up the rest

of this stuff later.

- You know about Harris?

- I heard on the radio.

They kneecapped him,

then they blew half his head away.

Typical IRA execution.

- What about Ingrid Jessner?

- What about her?

- You know, if this thing leaks out...

- It won't.

A crime has been committed.

- What crime is that?

- I'm not just talkin' about Harris.

Everything is covered

by the Official Secrets Act.

- God, you people live in the Dark Ages.

- And what about you? Listen...

You and I are cut from the same cloth.

I am what I have to be, but you?

You're no better.

Like me, you observe rule Number 1.

Keep your balls intact.

Have a good flight.

And don't forget to send me that report.

Okey-doke?

We need to get

some agent provocateurs into these...

strikes that are taking place,

local government strikes...

to cause a lot of

unpleasantness and disruption.

We need that to run through

until the election and give it a shot.

The question is,

can we rely upon democracy?

- Just my opinion, but...

- With a little push here and there.

Well, I agree with the little push.

I agree that is the point, in a way,

why we're here, isn't it?

If there's a run on the pound, that's fine.

If there's a lot of stuff circulating about...

Wilson and Moscow,

which we all know to be the case...

I think Wilson's somebody

we should home in very much on.

A lot of stuff should be

circulated about Wilson.

Ms. Jessner.

She hasn't seen us.

Wait here.

What are you doing here?

- Where were you?

- Did you get my note?

- Why did you change your mind?

- There are reasons.

- Tell me.

- I don't have to. I'm sorry.

What about Mr. Nevin?

What about Harris?

Harris is dead.

They're blaming the IRA.

- But it was them!

- Please.

- I saw it happen!

- Please, keep your voice down.

- I told you not to go.

- You told me a lot of things...

- Did you speak to Harris?

- Yes.

- Did you tell them we were meeting?

- Of course not. You were followed!

But you did talk to them. Why?

- Did he give you the tape?

- You're not gonna...

- Are you going to do anything about this?

- There's nothing I can do.

They've committed murder and treason.

At 11:
00 this morning,

a man was assassinated...

by orders of British Intelligence,

and you can do nothing!

I wish I could.

This is a final call for flight BTH-9

to London, Heathrow.

You have connections I don't have.

Your reputation brought you here.

People will listen to you.

With you as my witness?

A civil-liberties group member...

accusing the British government

of torture and shoot-to-kill?

"I don't care whose toes I tread on".

That's what you said, and I believed it.

- Look, I have to go.

- Go.

- I'm a policeman.

- Yes, you are.

The men responsible for Paul's death

will be charged.

To know and do nothing.

- You can't win against these people.

- To just close your eyes.

Forget it. Go home.

That's how fascism starts.

What do you think

of your fine British law now?

This has nothing to do with law.

- What is it then?

- It's politics.

To enforce the rules

of a police state is politics.

Good guys like you cover it up

so bad guys are safe.

You're a puppet, and the men

pulling the strings know it.

Did he give you the tape?

- No.

- What are you gonna do?

Tell people, newspapers.

- They won't print it.

- We'll see.

Go back to America.

Get out of Belfast.

You're in danger here.

Ingrid, it's finished.

Not for them, it isn't.

Not for Nevin and the others.

They're not going to disappear.

They're still in place.

You have a plane to catch, Mr. Kerrigan.

What? Yes.
