Cup of tea?

CRAVEN
|
Is there anything else I can do for you?
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
Yes, I'm looking for a witness. Well-spoken, of good character, a police officer if possible, and well-motivated. A daughter having recently been murdered would be useful.

CRAVEN

You want me to be a witness?

Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT

We'll provide you with all the information necessary to blast Bennett out of the water.

Why me?

HARCOURT
|
Our intel...
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
HARCOURT
|
Our intelligence is coming from people whose cover we can't afford to blow. But anything coming from you will look as though you picked it up in the course of investigating your daughter's death.

CHILWELL
|
The purpose of this particular session is to examine, at somewhat short notice, the consequences, if any, of the takeover of International Irradiated Fuels Limited, by the Fusion Corporation of Kansas. For obvious reasons, this will be a closed session.
|

|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
CHILWELL
|
So, we will begin with our first witness Mr Robert Bennett. The managing director of International Irradiated Fuels Limited.

Hi, Jerry! You look tired. You still on Houston time?

What are you doing here, Darius?

JEDBURGH
|
I'm an energy attaché at the Embassy. See? A regular diplomat! Corps Diplomatique!

GROGAN
|
You're wasted in England, Darius. You should be back in the Third World killing Communists! That's what made you a star, isn't it?
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
JEDBURGH
|
This is the Third World, and the Communists are not the problem.

GROGAN

So what is?

JEDBURGH
|
You are, and I'm here to warn you. You're stirring up the natives. You're making them restless. We have our own interests on this island. Quite apart from the airbases, there's the golf courses.
