As he tries to raise money for the ransom, at the hostage house Clare has an asthma attack that has the group worrying.

01:30This is Andrew Padgett, an old friend of the family.
01:32Simon Mitchell.
01:33Simon is helping us in connection with the insurers.
01:36I wasn't expecting a business lunch.
01:38We still have to eat.
01:40Oh my god.
01:47Oh my god.
01:57Thursday.
02:00Lunch.
02:06Oh, the wee girl's not well.
02:26What's wrong?
02:27Well, she's having some kind of a fit.
02:30Asthma.
02:31Let me go to her.
02:32Asthma?
02:33She can't breathe.
02:34She's wheezing, like this.
02:35Ah, that's it.
02:36Let me go to her.
02:37Easy.
02:38Easy.
02:39Ah.
02:40What's going on?
02:41Put your hood on.
02:42Ow.
02:43What's she doing here?
02:44Ow.
02:45Ow.
02:46She saw me.
02:47She did not.
02:48She did.
02:49I was in front of her.
02:50All the girl's got is asthma.
02:51She could die.
02:52Asthma can't kill you.
02:53Can't kill you.
02:54Can't kill you.
02:55Can't kill you.
02:56Can't kill you.
02:57Can't kill you.
02:58Can't kill you.
02:59Can't kill you.
03:00Can't kill you.
03:01Can't kill you.
03:02Can't kill you.
03:04Can't?
03:05I don't know how much she's putting on.
03:07She doesn't put it on.
03:08She won't be able to breathe.
03:09Why won't she?
03:10Sit down.
03:14I've just seen her.
03:16She's not that bad.
03:20When did the attack start?
03:25Last night.
03:27God!
03:31She has had one serious attack before.
03:35If you just leave her the air passages will swell up and fill with mucus and she will go into a coma
03:41in which she will need a hospital ventilator to get her breathing again and without that she will die.
03:46And if she dies I will kill myself. I swear to god I will.
03:49You won't be able to watch me all the time. I will kill myself and you will have nothing.
03:53Nothing. Nothing.
03:56Tell us what to do.
04:00You must let me see her.
04:07There's this place.
04:09Kilnermeth.
04:11It will be the last thing to go.
04:14St John's Wood, shares.
04:16But I've had to borrow substantially to buy shares in my company in order to keep control.
04:21And that's why the papers have overestimated the money I can realize.
04:25So assume I can raise...
04:30a million and a half.
04:32They've asked for three.
04:37Then I suggest we offer them a quarter of a million for starters.
04:40Starters?
04:42That sounds like an auction.
04:44I'm afraid that's what it is.
04:46Holy mother.
04:48They might kill them.
04:51Geoffrey I think you should pay what you can now.
04:54You pay what you can now.
04:56Then Tom will come back for more.
05:00And then would you go?
05:12All right.
05:16All right.
05:18All right you're here now.
05:20Stop that.
05:22You'll be with your mother in a minute.
05:24Will you shut that bloody mouth.
05:36Here.
05:38Here's your mother.
05:40Now shut it.
05:42Claire darling it's me. It's mummy.
05:44Yes it's all right. You're safe now.
05:46Listen to me now. Listen darling.
05:48Breathe in.
05:50Hold.
05:52Relax.
05:54Better. Good girl. And again.
05:56Breathe in.
05:58Hold.
06:00Relax.
06:02She needs a doctor.
06:04In. Clench.
06:06Hold.
06:08Relax.
06:10Good girl. Better. And again.
06:12Breathe in.
06:14Hold. Relax.
06:16Vendor.
06:18What?
06:20Vendor what?
06:22Vendolin.
06:26They're only on prescription.
06:28V-E-N-T-O-L-I-N.
06:30It's all right darling. I'm still here.
06:32Why won't you take her to a doctor?
06:34You'd still have me.
06:36He'll pay you what you want.
06:38If I could get rid of every acre.
06:40Every share now.
06:42In order to see them walk up there.
06:44Do you think I wouldn't do so?
06:46But he's right.
06:48Unfortunately.
06:50Now it'll take time to convince him
06:52that I can't pay this.
06:54And time to turn things into cash.
06:56So how do I start negotiating?
06:58You don't.
07:00Whoever speaks to Tom
07:02must not have the authority
07:04to agree to his demands.
07:06He must be forced to refer back to you.
07:08And if he doesn't accept that?
07:10He will.
07:12You think Tom has all the cards.
07:14He hasn't.
07:16As negotiations go on
07:18his money will be running out.
07:20The police may be getting closer.
07:22Jimmy O'Hanlon.
07:24He can't even find his trousers in the morning.
07:26And their demands will go down.
07:28Is that it?
07:30That is the usual pattern.
07:32Perhaps...
07:34Perhaps Mrs. Henley would negotiate.
07:38Me?
07:40You can turn on the emotions.
07:42Well, is that what I've been doing?
07:46I'm sorry.
07:52So...
07:54All phone messages will now be recorded.
07:56You will try and get the press
07:58to backpedal on my assets.
08:00You will negotiate.
08:04And I'll go to the city to raise money.
08:06And what do I do?
08:10We wondered if you'd like to deliver it, Andrew.
08:18Splitting them up gives us two chances
08:20if they find us.
08:22They won't find us.
08:24There are plenty of leads.
08:26What leads?
08:28There was a boy who saw us.
08:30Jimmy's left them.
08:32And we've had to break into a clemency.
08:34What does that mean?
08:36Start getting into them.
08:40They're not taking her away from me.
08:44She'll have another attack. Don't you touch her.
09:06Don't thank me.
09:08Don't you thank me.
09:10I'm just protecting my investment.
09:16Absolutely terrible thing.
09:20Incomprehensible, Ireland.
09:22Incomprehensible.
09:26Coffee all right?
09:28It's fine, thank you.
09:38You already owe us...
09:40Two million.
09:42And you now want to borrow...
09:44A million and a half.
09:46For...
09:48Two or three months.
09:50Against the security
09:52of your remaining
09:54uncharged shares.
09:56How many are there?
09:58A million and a half.
10:02Valued at last night's closing price
10:04of 146...
10:062,190,000.
10:08The shares will go down
10:10a bit more, I expect.
10:12Well, they'll come back
10:14when the Japanese deal goes through.
10:16When is that?
10:18Well, I'm seeing the Japanese tonight.
10:20They're coming over from Dusseldorf.
10:22What stage were you at?
10:24Oh, final draft contract.
10:28Look carefully, I'll tell you what I'll do.
10:30I'd recommend that we
10:32loan you a million.
10:34And then when our Japanese friends
10:36sign on the dotted,
10:38I'll reconsider the other half.
10:42Thank you, Peter.
10:44It's subject to my loans committee,
10:46of course, but...
10:50What you expected.
10:52Well...
10:58Least we could do,
11:00flesh and blood being involved.
11:02People will stand by you
11:04in the city, Geoffrey.
11:12Japanese delegation
11:14has been delayed in Dusseldorf, Mr Carr.
11:16Delayed? Why?
11:18Government meetings have been rearranged.
11:20They were very apologetic.
11:22Yes, I expect they were.
11:24Get Jimmy to report.
11:26Yes, Mr Carr.
11:28And book me on the late afternoon flight to Dusseldorf tomorrow.
11:30Yes, sir.
11:52Beautiful, Mr Carr.
11:54An exceptional property.
11:56How much?
11:58You could try and ask in private.
12:00No, there's no time to ask.
12:02You've got a week to sell it.
12:04Mr Carr,
12:06I couldn't sell a studio flat in a week.
12:08But you must have several customers
12:10with the sort of money I want ready to exchange contracts.
12:12Of course.
12:14Offer them my property instead.
12:16I'm sorry, Mr Carr, but I don't do business like that.
12:24Look, I want 750,000.
12:26Now sell it for that,
12:28and you get 10% commission.
12:305,000 in case you have trouble with the notes.
12:32If you have to drop 50,000 to sell it,
12:34you get 8% commission,
12:3656,000,
12:38and so on.
12:42Mr Carr, we have a code of business ethics.
12:44You're making it
12:46extremely difficult to practice.
12:48By the way, I don't want any buyer
12:50to know who I am.
12:52For the purpose of this transaction,
12:54my name is Bolton.
13:00Mr Carr,
13:02I'm sorry,
13:04but I can't do this.
13:06I'm sorry.
13:08I'm sorry.
13:10I'm sorry.
13:12I'm sorry.
13:14I'm sorry.
13:16I'm sorry.
13:18I'm sorry.
13:20I'm sorry.
13:22I'm sorry.
13:24I'm sorry.
13:26I'm sorry.
13:28I'm sorry.
13:38Hang on a second.
13:40It's going to be about enough of this.
13:58I'm sorry.
14:00I'm sorry.
14:02I'm sorry.
14:04I'm sorry.
14:06I'm sorry.
14:08I'm sorry.
14:10I'm sorry.
14:12I'm sorry.
14:14I'm sorry.
14:16I'm sorry.
14:18I'm sorry.
14:20I'm sorry.
14:22I'm sorry.
14:24I'm sorry.
14:26I'm sorry.
14:56I'm sorry.
14:58I'm sorry.
15:26I'm sorry.
15:28I'm sorry.
15:46We've asked for a press silence for the sake of...
15:48Yes, I know.
15:50Keep this line open.
15:52There's one from the minister.
15:54Not true, not true.
15:55Down to what?
15:56What's going on?
15:57It's all right, James.
15:58OK, thanks, Harry.
15:59I'll buy you a large one.
16:00Right.
16:01We progress, master.
16:02We progress.
16:03The market's going, but no, no, no.
16:04No, go on, Terry.
16:05Go on.
16:06Uh, Geoffrey Carr's office.
16:07Yes, it is.
16:08Yeah, but what?
16:11Now, I can assure you, Mr. Carr is certainly not
16:14pulling out of the company.
16:15God knows who started that one.
16:18Who's selling?
16:19Who's selling?
16:20How much actual business is there, Terry?
16:21Can you tell me?
16:22No, that's absurd.
16:23Yeah, I see.
16:24I see.
16:25Yes, David.
16:26Is John there, Mr. Carr?
16:27Uh, tell me.
16:28Yeah, no.
16:29Oh, and I suppose Mr. Carr shot the chauffeur.
16:30Yeah.
16:31One understands you've been last for five minutes.
16:32The other for two.
16:33The market's going bloody mad.
16:34You're about to offload your personal holdings.
16:35Denied.
16:36Hang on.
16:37It's no use just denying it.
16:38One, two, nine?
16:39One, two, nine?
16:40Sorry, what?
16:41It's mostly small sellers and unit trusts
16:42who move in and out.
16:43Not much value.
16:44Mr. Carr.
16:45No, no, no.
16:46Hang on.
16:47Wait a minute, Terry, will you?
16:48John.
16:49Hang on, please.
16:50They want to cooperate on the kidnap.
16:51They always will now.
16:52But they can't be silent about what's
16:53going on in a public company.
16:54Adam.
16:55The jobbers marked us down to 135 before business opened.
16:56Why?
16:57Covered themselves.
16:58Stopped people selling who were frightened
16:59that you might offload and drive the price down.
17:00Instead, it's had the opposite effect.
17:01People thought the jobbers knew something.
17:02Then the rumor that you're getting outcompetent about it.
17:03You started it.
17:04Well, you didn't ask over, saying you wanted to cooperate.
17:05No, I didn't.
17:06No, I didn't.
17:07No, I didn't.
17:08No, I didn't.
17:09No, I didn't.
17:10No, I didn't.
17:11No, I didn't.
17:12No, I didn't.
17:13No, I didn't.
17:14No, I didn't.
17:15No, I didn't.
17:16No, I didn't.
17:17No, I didn't.
17:18No, I didn't.
17:19No, I didn't.
17:20No, I didn't.
17:21No, I didn't.
17:22No, I didn't.
17:23No, I didn't.
17:24No, I didn't.
17:25No, I didn't.
17:26No, I didn't.
17:27No, I didn't.
17:28No, I didn't.
17:29No, I didn't.
17:30No, I didn't.
17:31No, I didn't.
17:32No, I didn't.
17:33No, I didn't.
17:34No, I didn't.
17:35No, I didn't.
17:36No, I didn't.
17:37No, I didn't.
17:38No, I didn't.
17:39No, I didn't.
17:40No, I didn't.
17:42Oh, no, I can't say that.
17:43Why not?
17:44Well, the kidnappers, because I've sworn to them
17:46that I'll sell everything.
17:48And if I put out a statement denying that I'm selling out,
17:52God knows what they'll do.
17:53Well, if you don't, the price will go down through the floor.
17:56And I won't have any money to pay the ransom.
17:59OK.
18:00Can you ring me back?
18:01Well, I'll ring you, OK?
18:02All right.
18:04Bye.
18:08We'll hold a press conference in two days' time.
18:10There will be a statement later today.
18:12Did you get that, David?
18:13Yes, sir.
18:14Janice.
18:15Janice.
18:16Yes, sir.
18:17Ask Richard, no, tell, repeat, tell Richard Lafrey
18:20to meet me at the stock exchange at 1 o'clock.
18:24And just in case he's unaware of it,
18:26tell him he's lost half a million pounds since breakfast.
18:30Right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left,
18:34right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left.
18:39Right, left, right, left.
18:41Come on.
18:42Pick your feet up.
18:44Right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left,
18:49right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left.
18:56Twice more.
18:57Come on.
18:59Right, left, right.
19:00Mind the bucket, stupid.
19:02Right.
19:07Ah!
19:09Shut up!
19:15Shut up!
19:28Once more, come on.
19:29No.
19:30Come on.
19:31Because you keep fit.
19:32Why? We're never gonna get out of here.
19:34Yes, we are. Yes, we are. Yes, we are. Yes, we are. Yes, we are. Yes, we are. Yes, we are. Yes, we are. Yes, we are.
19:40You're all right, I'm sorry.
19:56You all right?
19:57Yes.
20:03Poetry.
20:05I was doing the Ongibongi bow, it seems to have completely defeated me.
20:09Gets all muddled up with a pobble that had no toes.
20:13I was Dylan Thomas.
20:18When I was young and easy, under the apple boughs, around the lilting house,
20:26happy as...
20:29The grass was green.
20:31He's forgotten about us.
20:33Don't be silly.
20:35I told you about the newspaper headline.
20:38I love you, he said.
20:40I love you.
20:44Do you love him?
20:48Yes.
20:50More than Daddy?
20:58You don't stay the same person.
21:01I think that's about the only thing I've ever learnt.
21:06I loved your father.
21:09I loved Geoffrey.
21:12More.
21:14You just love, you can't weigh it like apples.
21:20We plan to have a baby.
21:24Do you mind?
21:26No.
21:28No.
21:33My periods, as a matter of fact.
21:38Probably the changing routine.
21:52When I get back to Kilkenny,
21:54when I get back to Kilkenny,
21:56I'm going to do the house...
21:57Not there.
21:58Not there.
22:00All right, not there.
22:04All right, we'll go to the apple country.
22:07To that cottage.
22:10Can you smell the apples?
22:14You must be just about ready to pick.
22:20Funny to think of autumn leaves falling.
22:24Falling.
22:29And honoured among the wagons,
22:31I was Prince of the Apple Towns.
22:35All the sun long it was running.
22:39It was lovely.
22:42The hayfields as high as the house.
22:55There's always a reason.
22:58You're not. I'm sorry, Geoffrey.
23:00You've over-borrowed. You're vulnerable.
23:03Temporarily.
23:04Storms are temporary. People still drown.
23:08I'm sorry, Geoffrey.
23:09I'll do everything I can for you and Frances and Ephraim.
23:12You're not omnipotent.
23:13If you continue thinking you are, you'll go under.
23:15That's nonsense. That's absolute nonsense.
23:18It's all rumour. Who's starting these rumours?
23:22Anyway...
23:24I can't afford to be financially sound.
23:28The kidnappers will increase their demands.
23:31So, it's up to you to support the share price.
23:34Me?
23:35Well, your company, Eagle. You must buy shares.
23:37We already own 29%.
23:38If it rips 30, I'll have to go to the takeover panel.
23:41Yes, all right. Fine.
23:43We can't afford to take you over.
23:45Yes, I know, but the prices are too thick to realise that.
23:48I'll give them the rules.
23:50We'll announce your intention of buying my shares.
23:54The deal will break down later.
23:56But meanwhile, Eagle's intervention will have counteracted the fall back to 140.
24:02Charlie, how are you?
24:03Then I produce a nip deal, 150.
24:07Kilnermeth Research Centre, hint of new products in the pipeline, 160.
24:12Car pulls it off again.
24:13What about Frances? I thought you were here...
24:15Well, I've done that. I got it from the bank.
24:17They're sticking by me, just like you are.
24:21Yes, thanks, Richard. I knew you would be on, sir.
24:42Beat.
24:50Thanks.
25:20Thanks.
25:50Morning.
26:21Do you have to go?
26:23Yes.
26:24Well, you have to use this.
26:27Why?
26:28You have to take toilet paper.
26:36What sort of fly?
26:40Olive.
26:43Black panel, huh?
26:50Come on.
27:16Come on. We'll be late going back.
27:18See you later.
27:35Wanna go?
27:44I didn't see their faces.
27:48Come on.
28:18Shit.
28:19Shit.
28:20Shit.
28:47It's a good memory.
28:50He'll remember.
28:54We're going away.
28:57We're going away.
29:01Never going to.
29:06Careful.
29:12He'll remember.
29:21He'll remember.
29:32Jimmy, Jack Watson. How are you, sir?
29:34How you doing, sir? I was coming up now.
29:42The funeral took place in Coal Island, County Tyrone, today,
29:45of Sean McAlevey, a member of the Provisional IRA
29:48who was shot dead by a British Army patrol
29:50in a raid on a house in Fork Hill, County Armagh, on Monday night.
29:58Security presence in the area was particularly heavy,
30:00but three masked men managed to slip the cordon
30:03and fire a volley of shots at the graveside
30:05and escape without detection.
30:07A number of people were detained by the RUC
30:10and brought to Lisburn for questioning,
30:12but were later released.
30:14Scuffy!
30:19Oh, shit.
30:20No, hang on, hang on a minute.
30:37Frank Cross.
30:38Family man.
30:40Family man.
30:42Family man.
30:44Family man.
30:45Family man.
30:46Family man.
30:50He shot three.
30:52Blown up ten.
30:54That's just to my knowledge.
30:57Anything on the woman?
31:00Nothing.
31:04Listen to this.
31:06Tom, listen.
31:07He's a bloody swindler.
31:09Half a million.
31:10The bastard's loaded.
31:12You can have your bloody sister back.
31:14Your bloody coven.
31:15He'll be back in a few days.
31:17That's it.
31:18No, please.
31:19No, please don't go, please.
31:21Please.
31:30Will the family cooperate?
31:32They will, they will.
31:33To a point.
31:36What point?
31:41Listen.
31:45Listen.
31:51Frank Cross fell out with the people he was working with.
31:56Mrs. Carr and her daughter's only a ticket back to Derry for Frank Cross.
32:02The grapevine has it he's involved in a big arms deal.
32:05Now, if he blows it, he's a cowboy.
32:08You see if he pulls it off.
32:10See if he pulls it off, they are going to love him.
32:14And not one of the big industrialists down here will be safe.
32:20Listen, Mr. Kearney.
32:22I have as much sympathy as anybody for that woman and her wee girl.
32:26But under no circumstances must Carr be allowed to handle with that ransom money.
32:32Right?
32:45Come on.
32:54What are you going to do?
32:59Where are we going?
33:06I don't know.
33:08I don't know.
33:10I don't know.
33:12I don't know.
33:15I don't know.
33:25Step.
33:27Steps.
33:42There's a chair behind you.
33:45Come on.
33:54Shot one of our people.
33:57They shot him.
33:59I'm sorry.
34:01Oh, you're sorry.
34:03You're sorry.
34:04What do you expect me to say?
34:06Come on.
34:14All right.
34:16All right.
34:19Come on.
34:21Come on.
34:35Come on, get up.
34:39We're a wee bit upset, you see, Mrs. Carr.
34:42Just a wee bit upset.
34:47There's a chair.
34:50Come on.
34:55Where did that come from?
34:57Did you go out?
34:59Willie got it.
35:00Names! Don't use names!
35:03All right, all right, all right. Calm down.
35:08I don't want it.
35:21A wee bit upset, Mrs. Carr.
35:25Frances.
35:26What?
35:27Isn't that your name?
35:28Get on with it!
35:30Shut up, Willie.
35:41Here, drink some of this.
35:45That's it.
35:47That's it.
35:50That's it.
36:13I'm sorry.
36:16Whatever it is I've done, I'm sorry.
36:18I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
36:20What have I done?
36:23We've treated you all right, haven't we?
36:28Yes.
36:30We've been patient.
36:34Yes, yes.
36:37Yes, please.
36:39What?
36:42Let my daughter go.
36:47Jesus, we want to let the both of yous go.
36:50We don't want you here.
36:53I'm a prisoner here too.
36:57Once we've got the money, we can all go home.
37:09He will pay.
37:11Ah, well.
37:13There's the problem.
37:16He wants to negotiate.
37:18Bargain.
37:20He wants to bargain for you.
37:22Now, we haven't time to bargain, Mrs Carr, do you understand?
37:26You tell him.
37:27Me?
37:29Speak to him.
37:31Speak to him?
37:34Geoffrey?
37:35Geoffrey?
37:36Oh, he's here, all right.
37:43Here he is.
37:47Just imagine you're holding his hand.
37:51Geoffrey?
38:14Ladies and gentlemen,
38:16thank you all for sparing the day.
38:18Thank you all for sparing the time in your busy schedules
38:21to attend this press conference at such short notice.
38:26Geoffrey Carr.
38:34I know you all want to hear about my wife and daughter.
38:39So do I.
38:42I'm sorry to disappoint you.
38:44I can't talk about that.
38:46It may cost their lives.
38:49I've asked you here to tell you
38:51that Eagle Finance
38:53is going to purchase my personal holding
38:57in Carr Computers.
39:01Charles?
39:02That is to pay a ransom, sir.
39:05That must be your speculation, Charles.
39:08How will this affect your position in the company, sir?
39:11Oh, I should think they might, um...
39:13retain my services.
39:15I think we might.
39:17As chairman?
39:18Yes, as chairman.
39:22Does that mean
39:23Eagle will bid for the rest of the company as well?
39:26We'll have to consult the takeover panel about that.
39:30Mr. Carr,
39:31what is the value of your holding?
39:35Rather less than it was, Mr. Paler.
39:39Assuming...
39:40Assuming...
39:42In the circumstances,
39:43I'd rather you didn't speculate about what I'm worth.
39:47All of us here appreciate your horrible predicament, Mr. Carr.
39:51However, we have a public duty to report what is happening.
39:55I'm not so concerned with what you're going to get
39:58as with what he's going to pay.
40:02But Wally, isn't that the same thing?
40:05Per share.
40:06How much are you offering per share?
40:08Well, you have to find 5 million, 6 million.
40:11We can't comment at this stage.
40:13Then where's the money going to come from?
40:15Is Katsushomo involved?
40:17No, the Japanese deal is a separate one.
40:19Is that still on, sir?
40:20Well, of course it's still on.
40:22You were in Dusseldorf yesterday.
40:24Yes.
40:25I understand the Japanese have visited, Summon Computer.
40:28Are you afraid they'll do a deal with them instead?
40:30Have the kidnappers set a deadline, sir?
40:32I've been selling other companies, Mr. Carr.
40:34How long are the Japanese prepared to wait, Mr. Carr?
40:37It was your idea, Geoffrey.
40:39Well, it would have worked if you'd answered the questions.
40:41What exactly does that mean?
40:42What?
40:44All right, listen, no more calls.
40:47The share price closed below 100, 99.5 to be exact.
40:50What's going on?
40:51They've decided the Jap deal's off.
40:53They decided?
40:54Self-fulfilling prophecy.
40:55Do you think the Japs are going to sign something they read in the papers as off?
41:08You've been at the top too long.
41:10You're over the hill.
41:14The Irish folly.
41:15Delusions of research.
41:21I'm merely expressing the media's point of view, master.
41:25Terrible thing, the kidnap.
41:27But if it hadn't been that, it would have been something else.
41:29We built him up.
41:30Now we'd better pull him down.
41:32I built myself up!
41:35Of course, master.
41:44Of course, these things are entirely illogical.
41:47Irrational.
41:52It's not entirely illogical.
41:57The companies always seem to be you.
42:00Your inspiration.
42:01Your ideas.
42:02But you must face this, Jeffrey.
42:04It hasn't been that way for some time now.
42:08If a man has one good idea in his lifetime, it's more than most.
42:13You've been lucky.
42:15Forget research.
42:16Rescue what you can.
42:20You've just been through the pretense of selling to me.
42:24Why don't you?
42:26Because you made it all too perfectly clear, you can't afford to buy me out.
42:29Not fully.
42:30But suppose, instead of borrowing money from the bank
42:32on your remaining unpledged shares,
42:34you sold them to me.
42:38But that would give you control.
42:41On the cheap.
42:42I'm thinking of the stability of the company.
42:44And Francis.
42:46You're thinking about yourself.
42:50You could have made a full takeover. Sound plausible?
42:55And how did he know I was in Germany?
42:58And how did he know I was in Germany?
43:03Stability of the company. The company is perfectly sound.
43:06And when this business is over, the share price will recover. You know that.
43:12But you want control. You always have.
43:14And you want me to do what your mean, short-sighted, penny-pinching mind
43:19tells me to do.
43:22And live off our present products.
43:24Well, that would really make the price fall for good.
43:26You're just being paranoid, Geoffrey.
43:27Well, of course I'm being bloody paranoid.
43:42Alan.
43:45I think Richard's offer is the only course to take, Geoffrey.
44:15No calls or interruptions, Janice.
44:17The Three Cities Bank has called twice.
44:19Mr. Greaves wants to speak to you urgently.
44:22Oh.
44:24Well, you'd better get him for me.
44:43Geoffrey Carr.
44:44Hello, Geoffrey.
44:45Look, I won't beat about the bush.
44:47I'm afraid it's not on.
44:50Not on?
44:52We just can't lend you a million, let alone a million and a half.
44:56But you agreed.
44:58It's subject to my loans committee, Geoffrey.
45:00But the steep fall in the share price has alarmed them so much
45:03they feel there's insufficient security.
45:06The shares will recover?
45:07Yes, of course.
45:08And if it was up to me...
45:10I know, I know.
45:13Well, thank you for considering it, Peter.
45:31Jacobs.
45:32About the house, Mr. Carr.
45:34Sorry I couldn't confirm it with you personally,
45:36but I have a couple coming this evening at 8.30.
45:39Their name...
45:44Geoffrey, it's Robert.
45:46You can reach me tomorrow at the phone number.
45:52We've received a tape.
45:55I'll try and play it over the phone.
46:05Geoffrey?
46:08We're all right.
46:10But...
46:11I hate speaking to these type of things.
46:16What's happening, darling?
46:19Why is it taking so long?
46:21Why haven't you paid the money?
46:30This is a gun I'm touching.
46:34Is it loaded?
46:36It's a blindfold, you see.
46:40This is a bullet.
46:42The bullet...
46:45They've taken it from me.
46:49Oh!
46:52Just release Claire.
46:53Give them what they want for Claire.
46:55She's been so ill, she nearly died.
47:14Mr. Bolton?
47:16Appleyard.
47:18To see the house?
47:22Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
47:25Er, two cone, please.
47:28Sorry.
47:42Sturdy picture.
47:43Yes.
47:46Yes.
47:48Um, would you excuse me? I'm in the middle of something.
47:51Would you mind showing yourself round?
47:54No, of course not.
47:56And go where you like.
48:33I'm sure I've seen them somewhere before.
48:41Bolton.
48:44It's all a bit soulless.
48:47It's not Bolton.
48:49It's Carl.
48:50His picture was in the Times.
48:52He's the man whose wife was kidnapped.
48:58You have ten days to get the money.
49:02If you...
49:05If you want to see us again.
49:09The door is open.
49:14The deadline is 12 noon, Saturday.
49:18Next Saturday.
49:21Please, let me...
49:24I love you, Jeffrey!
49:27I'm awfully sorry.
49:44Huge, huh?
49:47I didn't prefer it.
49:50Yes, so am I.
49:52But the price tag...
49:55I think we could knock it down for quite a bit.
49:59Hmm?
50:01Yes.
50:03Yes.
50:05Yes.
50:08Yes.
50:10Yes.
50:11Yes.
50:41Yes, Jeffrey.
50:42Can you please come round?
50:45I'd like to talk about your offer.
51:11I love you.
51:12I love you.
51:13I love you.
51:14I love you.
51:15I love you.
