It's past Pendleton's bedtime. You know he returns every night to the Abbey, where they lock him up in one of those tombs.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows

JEDBURGH
|
They only let him out when the kingdom's threatened. Now Craven, I want you to meet a couple of friends of mine.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
JEDBURGH
|
This here's Colonel Robert G. Kelly, known in the service as Key Sanh.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
JEDBURGH
|
Over here, you got Colonel Mike Merryweather, also known as Mad Mike.
|

They just got back from South America, having a little celebration dinner here. Silvio, a drink for our guest!

Come on, Craven, have a seat. Take a load off. Enjoy yourself! There you go.

It's Craven, Mike.
|

|
|
Two: Into The Shadows

JEDBURGH

That's right, Mike.
|

A Macallan. Hope it's to your liking.

No, sir. Colonel Kelly is from Dallas. Ever been to Dallas, Craven?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows

JEDBURGH
|
It's where we shoot our presidents! The Jews got their Calvary but we got Dealey Plaza! Mad Mike's from Austin, the home of country music.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows

|
The country singer, Mike. Mr Craven here is a connoisseur of our country music, that is according to Harcourt.

You know Waylon & Willie! Willie Nelson! A regular outlaw, huh? If his friends are to be believed!

What was that song Willie had out about a year? Time Of The Preacher. Something about the year of 01... Are you familiar with the words at all?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
JEDBURGH
|
No, no, Craven. Now the lesson's all over and the killing's begun!

You know what the term preacher signifies, don't you, Craven?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
JEDBURGH
|
And a gun.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
JEDBURGH
|
The time of the preacher is the time of the gun, in the year of 01.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
JEDBURGH
|
And just when you think it's all over, it is only begun.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
JEDBURGH
|
It's quite a thought. Something we ought to reflect upon.
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows

I think we ought to get these boys to bed, Craven. I guess they're all tuckered out!

We used to have this gun sight in Vietnam with an image intensifier. You with me, Craven? That's how I saw you on that little screen tonight. Like a sitting duck. Harcourt asked me to give you sight of a file. Well, I wasn't too keen on it, until I saw you on TV.

We're just blending in with the surroundings, son! Look around. Like Uncle Ho says, blend in with the surroundings! Do you play golf, Craven?
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
JEDBURGH
|
It's a great game. Closest thing I got to a religion. I really believe that God's a golfer. Does that upset you, Craven?
|

Two: Into The Shadows

JEDBURGH
|
When I think of St Andrews and Carnoustie and Leith, I began to realise that it is more than just a coincidence that divine providence has brought forth oil from the depths of the North Sea. That oil will help save the golf courses of Scotland!
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
JEDBURGH
|
From the Communists, Craven. You imagine what would happen to the golf courses of this country, if a communist government ever got in power!
|
|
|
|
Two: Into The Shadows
|
JEDBURGH
|
God may not be a Communist, Craven, he may not even be a Republican, but I know damn well he's not a member of the Socialist Advance.
|

|
Two: Into The Shadows

JEDBURGH
|
Do you have any experience with Communism there, Craven?

It's an Italian expression, much used by the Red Brigade. Means to abjure the world, to become a terrorist.
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof

JEDBURGH
|
Your daughter was a terrorist, Craven. You might as well get used to it.
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
JEDBURGH
|
Well, plutonium is the key word here, Craven. People who mess with plutonium are terrorists.
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
JEDBURGH
|
Only what I read in the report. Northmoor's a low-grade waste facility run by a company with a very long name. There is no evidence of plutonium in Northmoor.
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
JEDBURGH
|
Craven, why are you trying to convince me about your daughter? I was only asked to give you sight of the report.
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof

JEDBURGH
|
She sure believed in direct action!

It's an organisation of scientists who believe it is their duty to save the planet from the human race, which they are convinced they're doing the best they can to destroy it. They're very dangerous people, Craven. People who put trees and flowers before people are beyond reasoning with. You can never appeal to their humanity cause they don't believe in humanity. Except as a form of moral pollution.

Because in 1977, Carter wanted to stop the worldwide spread of nuclear weapons. Well, that meant stopping the manufacture of plutonium, and since the British were the largest manufacturers of that stuff, it meant stopping the Brits. So, I was sent over here with instructions to do just that. But when I got here and looked for the anti-nuclear lobby, there wasn't one. Out on the street, there was CND, but who gave a shit about them in those days? So I had to start from scratch. Took me about six months, but in the end I got some of the best scientists and professors in this country on my side. Then lo and behold, Carter issued PD 59. That effectively started a new cold war. All of a sudden, America wanted all the plutonium it could lay it's hands on so the Brits were back on our side again. Then I got word from Langley, dismantle GAIA. Good luck. Thing's like Banquo's ghost, it just won't go away. What it did do was go underground.

Oh Jephthah, Son of Israel, what a treasure hadst thou! What treasure had he, my lord? Why, one fine daughter and no more, which he loved passing well.

This rope is not 800 feet long, Godbolt.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Sixty feet. I'm counting.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor

JEDBURGH
|
(LAUGHS) Look at this.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor

JEDBURGH

Is that normal?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
What you thinking, Craven?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Don't knock it, Godbolt. It's our capacity for deception that distinguishes us from the animals.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, that's right.
|
|
|

Five: Northmoor

JEDBURGH

What's this place called?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor

JEDBURGH

I feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale.

So long, sunshine.

Five: Northmoor

JEDBURGH

Hang on! Here you go. Attaboy. Come on! Breathe! Breathe! Breathe, damn it! Come on, Craven. Breathe!
|

Five: Northmoor

JEDBURGH

You know what? Time to panic. Hang on.
|

What the hell's this place?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Craven!
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Craven. A first-growth St Julien '63. I think we got the whole vintage here. This is the doomsday equivalent of Harrods.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
For lunch, we've got a lobster omelette with asparagus tips and French beans and wine, and coffee, cigars and dessert to be announced.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
You know what's the most interesting thing about this place?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
No clocks. Time stands still. Real freaky feeling, huh?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
The year of the Cuban missile crisis. Lot of people got shit-scared that year.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Yeah.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
It could've been anybody.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor

JEDBURGH
|
To get into the ball park, steal the ball.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
That's right.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
You're a driven man, aren't you, Craven? Here we on the floor of Plato's cave, with food from Harrods, a whole hillside of wine, all you can think about is, "Let's get going?"
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Hand it over to my superior.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Beats me, but Grogan won't get it, that's what counts.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Because of who he is.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
He's part of the dark forces who would rule this planet.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Yeah, sure. Why not? Look at yourself. You think of yourself as an English provincial detective whose daughter died in tragic circumstances. Yet, where she fell, a well sprang, flowers grow. Now, what kind of power is that?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Mind you, I do have a personal grudge against Grogan. His great-great-great-grandfather killed my great-great-great-great-grandfather. We Jedburghs never forget.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Yo!
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Craven, watch yourself.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
It's pretty, isn't it? Uh-oh, look at that.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
There's been a hell of an accident here. GAIA. They must have blown the whole cell.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor

JEDBURGH
|
You're crazy, you know that?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor

JEDBURGH

Come on.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Let's go.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Yeah. That's where they keep the plutonium. Look, go outside and hold them off. They'll be here any minute.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
What for? Look, I don't need you in here. I need you out there!
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
For as long as it takes!
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor

JEDBURGH

To know is to die!
|

Five: Northmoor

JEDBURGH
|
Get out of here! Now! Clear the elevator! Go!
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Craven, I'm letting you out at the next floor. I want you to make a run for it.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
To the top.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
I'll give you one bar, that's all you need for evidence.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
What do you keep asking that question for? I told you, I don't know! We're both on the same side, so what the hell does it matter?
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Run like hell, Craven. Keep ?em busy.
|
|
|
|
Five: Northmoor
|
JEDBURGH
|
Craven, if we make it, I'll see you in Scotland.
|

JEDBURGH

Yeah, I'm fine.

I think that old lady in there is trying to poison me. I'll see you later.

Hernandez? Como estas? Darius Jedburgh. Yeah... You recuerda me. Look, I'm the hombre who put the bomb in your bus about a year or so ago... Yeah, that's right. High Command. Yeah. (LAUGHS) Yeah. Yeah. The gringo from Texas. Hey, listen, mira, Hernandez. I'm taking a vacation in Scotland... It's in Great Britain... Yeah, kill Michael. Kill as in muerte, you know, death, murder. Michael as in St Michael, the patron saint of the CIA. I know he's your patron saint, Hernandez, haven't you wised up yet? Every time you pray to him, he sends a copy to the agency.

Hello, Taffy. How they hanging?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Is Jerry Grogan coming?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Excuse me a second.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Hi, Bobby.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Fulfilling a long-standing engagement.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you. $500,000 million for a defence system for Washington DC seems a bit pricey to me, but then, I don't live there...
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Jerry Grogan suggests that in 100 years from now, the human race will leave the planet and move into space. Jerry is a hell of a salesman. He's got the gift of making such an unappetising idea sound attractive. Now, the way Jerry tells it, it sounds just like an extension of the old Oregon Trail. It calls for the same American virtues of self-reliance, independence, know-how.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
But it is not gonna be that way. This new international nuclear state that Jerry's a part of, they do not cherish such virtues. You got that straight from the horse's mouth because I used to be a part of it.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Read between the lines of a Jerry Grogan speech, you'll find not the frontiersman but the Teutonic knight. Not democracy but a despotism. This future nuclear state will be an absolute state whose authority will derive not from the people but from the possession of plutonium. And just to make sure we all know what we're talking about here, I brought some of the stuff along with me today.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Two bars of weapons-grade plutonium. I stole this stuff on orders, straight out of Jerry's latest acquisition.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Twenty-four people have died for this stuff, including me. All I have to do is bring these bars together and we'll have a criticality.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Four hundred rads, ladies and gentlemen. A lethal dose to anyone within a radius of ten yards. Get it while it's hot!
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Hey, what's the matter? Don't y'all want to be part of the new age of plutonium lunacy? Don't you want to see mankind become enslaved to this new priesthood of plutonium culture, see the earth become a desert, all its natural resources plundered to build some new Jerusalem in the Milky Way?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
What took you so long?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Sick. Boy, have I ever been sick. Did you come alone?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Mostly dying. I've bought the farm, boy. You talk to Harcourt?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
He tell you I was at Gleneagles?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Yeah. Nothing on TV, though, I see.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Yeah. What about you?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
How long have you got?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
That's too bad. It was a hell of a mission though, huh?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Well, they were waiting for me with guns, weren't they? My own people, Craven, they started shooting at me. Honour went out of the window the day they invented that stuff.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
No shit, Sherlock. You think I didn't figure that out?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
It's in the bottom of a loch.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
It's in pretty good shape. I packed it in chalk. And at its core, I put a pound of plastic explosive.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Yeah.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
'Cause that's the problem with plutonium, Craven. It's limited in its application. It's not user-friendly, but as a vehicle for regaining one's self-respect, it's got a lot going for it. Damned right I turned it into a bomb.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
There's a detonator, if that's what you mean. It's a plutonium bullet.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Well, fired from a high-velocity rifle, it just might.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Be one hell of a way to go, huh?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Yeah, that's what I thought too, especially the golf courses, So, I decided against it.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Well, I called up this especially humourless bastard called Hernandez. He runs this rinky-dinky terrorist outfit. I'm supposed to be on his death list, so I invited him up. He hasn't showed.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Loch Lednock, ten miles west of here, by the dam.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
You going to call Harcourt?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
He'll only turn it over to Grogan. They'll screw you the same way they screwed me.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Craven? They'll trace the call.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion

JEDBURGH
|
The opposition. They'll come looking for us.

You know what you are, Craven? You're something special. You've been freeze-dried from some earlier epoch, just waiting for this to happen.
|
|
|

Six: Fusion

JEDBURGH

All this. The confrontation between good and evil.

The side of the angels, boy. Always have been.

There are angels who will stand by me. St Michael, for instance.
|

As an idea or what?

|
Six: Fusion

JEDBURGH

Grogan would zap it.

Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
Have you ever been to Afghanistan, Craven?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
I was out there last year, studying the drinking habits of the Russian soldiers. They'll drink anything as long as it's alcohol-based. Glycol, anti-freeze, brake fluid. But the black flowers were out there, Craven, up on the mountains. The Afghans eat them.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
JEDBURGH
|
I am merely confirming the existence of the black flowers. And if Grogan don't zap them, the Afghans will.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion

Ah, shit.

Six: Fusion

Do you want to wait for them inside or go outside and meet them head on?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion

JEDBURGH
|
The point is, Craven, to take as many of the bastards with us as we can.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion

Because they're going to have our ass.
|
