Shot!

As was my friend Fisher, actually.

In the back.

By his cleaner, of all people.

But they didn't take much.

Just a key

Break, left to right, I think.

Thank you.

In the trees.

Come on.

- Oh, my God.

- He can't die. He mustn't die.

Let's get him out of here. Come on!

Come on.

He's not looking good, sir.

We're getting you to a doctor.

You'll be fine.

You do know how to fly these, sir?

- It was part of basic training.

- Good.

It's just like riding a bike.

Yes. It's all coming back to me.

This is helicopter

Golf Hotel Zulu Zulu Tango.

We have a casualty on board.

Request guidance to nearest hospital.

Where's your exact location?

Our location? Location?

She shot out the navigation system.

Hang on.

- Runstock.

- Our location is Runstock.

What is your altitude?

What's our altitude?

About 18 inches.

Hello? Hello?

Sorry. I'll just move.

What now, sir'?

We'll have to stick to the road.

Let's follow the 1328.

There's bound to be a hospital in Dingham.

Look after him, Tucker. Look after him.

- I think we're losing him, sir.

- We can't lose him, Tucker.

He's our only lead. Try something else.

Don't give up on us, baby

Lord knows we've come this far

We are

The angel and the dreamer

Don'! give up on us, I know

We could still come through

Look, sir! Follow that ambulance!

Good idea.

Sir. Sir, quickly.

Karlenko. Karlenko!

The second key.

Vortex is KGB...

- Yes.

- CIA.

Yes? Yes?

MI7.

Unbelievable. A vole in MI7.

A mole, sir.

What?

There's a mole in MI7.

There's a mole and a vole?

No, sir. There's a mole, not a vole.

Well, I disagree. There's certainly a vole.

I mean, we know that much.

But what you're saying is

there might be a mole as well.

Pegasus.

There's a meeting at MI7

with the Prime Minister.

And here again, eyes down

and to the left, indicating dissent.

With Xiang Ping, it's all about the eyes.

Thank you, Ms Sumner.

If the talks go ahead, I'd like you with us.

Yes, Prime Minister.

Good evening, gentlemen.

- Mr English.

- Ms Sumner.

Right.

So when is the Prime Minister

going to grace us with his presence?

I'm the Prime Minister.

Yeah, you wish.

All right. So we're all here.

These talks with China

are of paramount importance.

Rogue slates in Southeast Asia

have begun secretly to develop

nuclear weapons.

It is vital that we get China onside.

Traditionally, China has been

impervious to our concerns,

but I believe Xiang Ping,

given the opportunity,

can and will help defuse this situation.

Well,

with his pro-West stance,

it certainly offers an opportunity,

but the talks can't go ahead

unless we can guarantee his safety.

I believe, with the correct security,

that we can.

If Vortex is operational

it's just too dangerous

I'm inclined to agree, Prime Minister.

There is a way.

The Swiss are willing

to lend us Le Bastion.

That's their government

fortress in the Alps.

It's a stunning example of

architectural engineering at altitude,

and completely impregnable.

I mean, that should solve

all our security issues.

Then the talks go ahead.

Pamela, I hope you've brushed up

on your Mandarin.

I'd like you in the room with me,

and your best man on security.

Yes, Prime Minister.

Where are we on Vortex?

English?

Vortex is three men.

Fisher was one, Karlenko was another.

Karlenko was killed today

on the orders of the third.

Any leads?

Yes, but I need time.

We do not have time.

We need to know the identity

of the third person in Vortex.

Give me 24 hours.

Another bottle of Romaine-Conti?

Of course.

And would you like to choose dessert?

Yes. You.

And bring two spoons.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

Cheers.

So, come on, Johnny,

what was it you wanted to ask me'?

Simon, do you know what this is?

Some sort of key?

Karlenko and Fisher both had one,

and they were both killed for them.

Well, I'll give it to the boys

at the lab and see...

Karlenko told me that the third man

in Vortex is in MI7.

And you believed him?

Simon, I have to ask you a question,

face to face.

Do you have any idea who it might be?

Johnny, I thought

you were about to accuse me.

No! I mean, honestly.

- What?

- Simon Ambrose, the evil mastermind!

- Don't. Stop it-

- The traitor in our midst!

You! You!

Simon, you are so funny.

Hysterical.

Oh, dear.

Would you excuse me

for one moment, Simon?

- Sir.

- Tucker, can'! this wait?

Sir, it's Ambrose.

Yes, I know it's Ambrose.

I'm having dinner with him.

No, he's the third man in Vortex.

Simon Ambrose?

He went to Eton.

Simon.

Leave it.

- What are you...

- Move.

- All right, all right.

- Come on, move.

Tucker.

- You said you never knew Karlenko.

- That's right.

Then how do you explain these?

I hacked into Karlenko's computer.

You and him in Mozambique?

Sometimes I have trouble myself, old boy.

You're Vortex!

You're the third man in Vortex!

Tucker, this is ridiculous.

Sorry, I'll be with you in just a tick.

It's true, I was in Mozambique.

What?

I was there because of Patch Quartermain.

Patch? Sorry, I'll just be one second.

He's the man you're after.

- You're bluffing!

- Sorry.

I work for a secret organisation inside MI7

set up specifically to bring him in.

A secret Secret Service?

Yeah? What's it called?

What's it called?

Armitage.

A secret secret secret service

called Armitage?

We answer only to the PM.

It's extraordinary, Simon...

Indeed, it is.

...That you'd think for one moment

that I would fall for

such a steaming pile of old baloney.

Well done, Tucker.

You're not Spy of the Month for nothing.

- Thank you, sir.

- Here, let me take that.

Now go home.

- What?

- You're the one talking baloney.

You're in way over your head, boy.

Now run along.

No! I won't go, sir. He's lying.

You've let me down,

you've let the Service down

and, frankly,

I think you've let yourself down.

- But I...

- Now get out!

Patch Quartermain, of all people.

Blowing his own legs off?

Now that's what I call deep cover.

And to think how much I admired him.

He hates you.

- Really?

- He always has.

He thinks you're a moron

with no place in MI7,

a jumped-up grammar school nobody

That's why he tried to destroy you.

Now, Johnny,

just because he ruined your life,

that's no reason for you to go rogue

and take him down on your own.

God forbid I should put a crazy idea

like that in your head.

Good night, Simon.

Johnny, that key you showed me.

We might need it to bring him in.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome, sir.

Silly tit.

Bingo.

- Arrange a meeting with our client

- Of course.

Pegasus.

We have the third man.

It's Johnny English.

Hello, Patch.

Looking for forgiveness?

It's all over for you now, English.

It's the end of the line.

Yes, you'd like that, wouldn't you, Patch?

After all, I'm just a jumped-up

grammar school nobody, aren't I?

What are you talking about?

I know that you are the

third man in Vortex.

No, Johnny. You are.

No, you are.

No. You are!

Standby, all agents.

And it all ends here.
