What are you doing?
♪ And 'cause I thrill as I do
Oh, that's what you're doing.
Time to rise, sleepyhead.
What time is it?
Shit.
You've got to get ready. Your plane leaves in half an hour.
I want breakfast. There's no time.
Leo! You said we'd have breakfast.
I can't do that trip without having breakfast first.
You know what I'm like when I get hungry.
Why didn't you have dinner? I begged you to have dinner.
I told you, I wasn't hungry then.
This is bloody inconvenient, Dick.
I know.
I have 12,000 things to do in Canberra.
Bloody Rupert!
Actually, where is Rupert?
He's the reason for the sodding change. Why isn't he here?
He's commandeered a plane and flying in, apparently.
Flying in?!
Why aren't we flying in?
Why didn't the PM let us charter a plane?
Rupert is Her Majesty's High Commissioner.
We're cabinet ministers!
Mere cabinet ministers, I think the PM would have it.
As far as he's concerned, we are nothing more
than obstacles on the road to his grand vision.
Which road?
Can't you tell? We're on it!
OK, I'll get you something. Will a banana do?
Just get dressed, please.
A banana will certainly not do!
I cannot do that journey on an empty stomach.
I want burek.
Burek? Mm-hm.
What the hell is burek?
It's a traditional Yugoslavian breakfast.
It's a kind of pastry... Oh! Right. Burek.
..that's hard on the outside and soft in the middle.
I think cook keeps the burek between the partridge in a pear tree
and the crocodile in hummingbird sauce.
Your plane leaves in 25 minutes. I will get you a banana.
Oh! Leo, that trip is hours! A banana won't do.
Give that here.
What are you gonna do? Ooh! Yuck.
Thank you.
Ugh. Now I have to wash my hands.
Late night?
Indeed it was.
How old this time?
One of them was in their early 20s, I think.
One of them?! Good God, man! How do you do it?
Well, I honestly have no idea, Dick.
Bon appetit.
Leo?
Yeah?
Carmen's gone.
Who's gone? Carmen. She... she's gone.
What do you mean, gone?
Well, I woke up this morning and she wasn't in my tent.
That kind of gone.
'I can't find her' gone. Gone gone!
Shit. Yeah, well, I thought maybe
she might be in the latrine and she hasn't returned.
And I can tell you, I've had a bloody good look around.
Ohh! Jesus.
Hey. Back inside, you.
It's Carmen. Leo, I... No. No, you stay here.
You cannot be seen. Do you understand?
Or a world of pain will consume us all.
Molly, do you understand? Yes.
How much did she drink?
About two-thirds of a bottle of vodka.
Jesus! Can you keep it down in there, Murph?
The whole fuckin' camp can hear you.
Dammit! Shit, Leo!
You've put me off!
What, is it time? You two seen Carmen?
What?! Leo!
Sorry, Yvonne.
What do you think?!
Well, I woke up and she was gone, so...
I have to make sure Bernie doesn't piss off.
One of you, check with Jonesy and see if he or Lydia saw...
Actually...
..everyone's to go to my quarters
and stay put until I get back.
God, this is disgusting.
Where are all the girls? Mate, Carmen's gone AWOL.
We... we just need a little time, OK?
Mate, I'm leaving at eight. I told you.
Come on, Bern.
Leo, I'm picking up the British High Commissioner.
I can't be late. He's coming here today?!
But... n-nobody's told me.
He wasn't due till... till Tuesday. Why?
I'm leaving at eight.
Hey... I've...
..I've looked after you, Bernie, haven't I?
Now, I would appreciate a little dispensation.
I have to be in Adelaide,
fuelled up and ready in a Bristol by noon.
It's not like I've got a choice here, mate.
Uh, I can't.
Eugh!
I've been looking everywhere for you, Carmichael!
Where the hell have you been?! There's been a change of plans.
The High Commissioner has to leave for London Saturday,
so we have to pull forward.
We're going at dawn.
I'm sorry? We're going at dawn.
Tomorrow. That's impossible.
You want to have the tower locked and loaded,
ready to go by dawn?
It's a Meccano set, Carmichael.
So, can you please get out your tiny spanners and do your job?
We've done ours.
What was that, Quentin?
Just so you know, Leo, we're expecting a strong nor'-westerly
to develop overnight.
Which means...
Nothing, surely. Nothing much.
It's just rare to have a strong nor'-westerly
at this time of year.
None of the other tests so far have been conducted
under such conditions.
There'd be no comparable controls.
So one has to question the utility
of the data we'll gather.
You're saying it'll be a waste of time?
No, but... Carmichael, they arrive today!
We're going tomorrow at dawn!
So if you'd be so kind, finish the fucking tower tonight.
Thank you so much!
It's never easy. Never fucking easy!
Girls inside?
Yeah, they've got the shits, but.
Bye-bye, Bernie.
OK. The new plan is...
The new plan is we keep the girls under wraps.
Bern will be back in about six hours.
You two will have found Carmen by then. We'll be sweet.
Yeah, what if we haven't found Carmen by then?
Well, we pack these three off with Bern and we keep looking.
Yeah, well, that might be a little tricky.
Why?
Better speak to the girls, Leo.
OK. Bernie had to head to Adelaide.
He'll be back in about six hours.
I'll compensate you for the time.
OK, fine. Just so long as you know we're not leaving without Carmen.
Look, girls, here's the thing.
There are some very important people arriving here today.
Didn't you know that?
No, I didn't, Von.
There's been a change of plan. So, it's really very simple.
Yes, it is. We're not leaving without Carmen.
We will find Carmen, I promise.
Just stay put.
I've got to check in on Cranky
and get things moving on the tower.
What's the rush? We've got four days. We're well ahead.
Not anymore. We're going at dawn tomorrow.
Well, that's impossible. I'm aware.
Hilly!
The Academy Award-winning actress Grace Kelly,
star of movies such as Rear Window and High Society,
has become Princess Grace of Monaco
after marrying Prince Rainier.
Oh. Dammit!
Identify yourself! It's Leo, General.
Come, Leo!
Morning, sir. Morning, Leo.
Everything tickety-boo? Er, not quite, sir.
Oh, dear. I don't like the sound of that.
Am I needed?
No, sir, but you should know
they've brought the test forward to tomorrow.
The test? Yes, sir.
The next test will be tomorrow at dawn.
The next test, sir? Operation Buffalo?
Oh, of course. Yes. The test.
Tomorrow, you say? Mmm.
Right. The test. Well, get on with it, then.
Yes, sir, but you realise that if the test is tomorrow,
Sir Rupert and Mr Wilcox and Mr Lachlan
will now be arriving today?
Rupie's coming? Mmm.
Splendid!
Dinner, then, I expect. I expect so, sir.
Well, get the chef on alert, Leo! No time to waste!
Come on, man! We are the military!
Yes, sir!
Dinner!
Now, I'm sure you blokes will be nothing but delighted
to know that instead of having four days to finish this tower,
we have a little over 16 hours.
Not only that, the test impact team has to move bloody fast.
We need the tank in place, the test dummies in place,
the goats in place.
That wasn't your answer last night!
But seriously, fellas, these things are important,
'cause we need to know what our bombs do.
Now, there are some very big wigs coming,
so we can't fuck this up,
because we all know who'll get the blame.
Captain Allen is here if you have any questions,
but if you do have any questions,
Captain Allen will reduce you to tears.
Off you trot.
What do you think, Jack?
Bloody tighter than a nun's nasty, mate.
It's possible, though, right?
I mean, we're halfway through. The foundations are fine.
We did it before. In May.
That tower was half the height, mate!
I know, but we've got no choice.
I've got these nobs arriving in a bit, so if you need me,
use the radio or send a runner to Watto.
I'll check in with him every half-hour.
Right away, Jack!
It's all hands on deck here at Maralinga,
deep inside the Australian desert,
as our troops and scientists
prepare for the next British atomic bomb test.
The timing is down to the second,
as our boys swelter in the heat constructing the tower
from which the bomb shall be dropped.
But they know it's all worth it,
for they're helping to secure the Empire's future
in the atomic age.
- Can we stop? - Why?
Jesus, Murph, you know why! Just pull up, would you?
Hey, what if she's dead?
She's not...
She's not dead. Murph, why...
Why would you say that?
Because if she is dead and someone else finds her,
we're gonna be in a world of shit.
You don't think that if we find her dead,
we're not gonna be in a world of shit anyway?
Right. Huh?
So if we find her dead, we have to bury her.
No other choice.
Murph, she's not... she's not dead.
Get in the car, mate.
She's not dead.
This is such rubbish.
Seriously, this is dwarves and goblins.
Not dwarves and goblins.
This is a children's book, Jonesy.
Lord of the Rings is not a children's book, Von.
It's a complex moral allegory, a... whole new world.
Tolkien is a professor of English at Oxford University.
Looks to me like he can barely spell.
I like James Bond. You ever read James Bond, Jonesy?
Jonesy's read everything.
He's a real brain box. Oh.
So, Jonesy? James Bond?
Uh... Fleming's good at what he does.
- It's, uh... it's fun. - I'd love to meet a spy.
But how would you know they were a spy?
Like, if he was a really good spy, you wouldn't know, right?
I guess.
So, what are you reading now, Jonesy?
Hmm?
Oh, uh, Lolita by Nabokov.
So, what's that about, then?
Um...
The Sydney Cricket Ground last Saturday.
St George defeated Balmain 18-2. Bloody Dragons!
Leo, what can I say? They said they'd be here Tuesday.
So the order's coming Monday.
They'll just have to do like the rest of us.
Doug, you know how it works with these people.
If there's good food and decent plonk
and they get pissed enough,
they go back to Canberra raving about us.
If not, I end up in the shit with the minister,
you end up in the shit with me.
So, here's what I want you to do. Cable another order.
Make sure someone picks it up in Adelaide and gets it to Bernie
before he takes off with the High Commissioner.
Is that all?
It doesn't sound hard to me.
Doug, do I really need to make this an order?
Whew!
How do they know it's empty?
What?
They keep telling us there's no-one out here.
How do they know that, Dick?
Surveyors, I expect.
Surveyors?
I can't account for every square inch of the nation, Phil,
but that's how we've been briefed.
Terra nullius.
Empty land!
Jesus.
I mean, we both know there are people out here, Dick.
Don't we?
Depends on how the Constitution defines 'people', Phil.
Corinne? Cor?
Leo. What can I do for you?
It's not another little rash, is it?
I, um...
Can we have a quiet word?
Mmm. Mm-hm?
What's the problem?
I need to be able to trust you.
I thought it was the other way around. But anyway...
To be discreet. For old times' sake.
Well, I certainly won't do it for old times' sake.
Hey, we'll always have Paris, won't we?
That was different. That was wartime.
I was feeling combative.
What is it, Leo?
I'm just wondering if you may have seen a girl here today
that you don't recognise.
Leo, there are only six women on this base.
Well, the girl I'm talking about isn't from this base.
Short, blonde... What was she doing here?
Well, that's not the issue. Ah. The rumours are true.
You're flying hookers in. Again, not the issue.
And you've lost one? Seriously?
I haven't seriously lost one, but one may be seriously lost.
Have you seen an unfamiliar female face
in the last five or six hours or not?
No, I haven't. OK. It was a long shot.
I thought she might have had an accident. Thank you.
Uh, Leo, before you go,
can I rely on your discretion in return?
Of course.
You know Alice? Yeah. What about her?
She told me last week that she'd been raped.
What?
Here, on the base.
Jesus. Why hasn't she reported it?
You can't report anything in this place.
Especially if you're a woman.
And especially if the rapist is someone with clout.
Who was it? She wouldn't tell me.
An officer?
I promise you, if I knew, I would tell you.
It might be an officer. He spoke well, apparently.
How did it happen? She was going to the latrine.
It was just before dawn. He knocked her out.
She woke up in the back of a jeep, bound and gagged.
He drove her out about five miles and he raped her.
He left her there to die.
She managed to break free and make her own way back.
Do you think she'd tell me who it was?
Oh, God, men can be so stupid sometimes!
What makes you think that she would trust you over me?
If she makes a charge, and if it's an officer or a scientist,
it'll be her word against his and she'll go down.
They'll lock her up.
Or worse, they'll pull out the Official Secrets Act.
The girls are scared, Leo.
Do all the girls know? Of course all the girls know.
It was scary enough when there were 2,000 men to six women,
and now at least one of the 2,000 is a rapist.
We walk in pairs after dark now.
If Alice won't talk, I don't have anything to go on, Cor.
Nor do I.
But you really run the place, so I thought you ought to know.
I've had enough of this!
Where do you think you're going?
I can't just sit here and do nothing, Jonesy.
You girls really need to think this through.
Yeah, I have. It's all I've been doing, is thinking!
Oh, you have? Oh, good.
'Cause if you have, you know you'd be busted
a few seconds after you walk through that door,
which means we all get busted, which in turn means
no-one's gonna be out there looking for Carmen...
Is that it? No, Molly.
There is one more thing you should be aware of.
Being found on a top-secret military facility
without official authorisation is a serious criminal offence.
The trial will be held in camera,
which, ironically, means in secret.
You probably won't be allowed a lawyer.
And if the charges were to relate to allegations of espionage
and you are found guilty, you will be executed.
But then, so will we, if that's of any comfort.
So, what do you think?
I think our price just went up considerably.
Well, where the fuck are we?!
Have you considered the possibility
that this might be the PM's way of getting rid of us?
You've got to be kidding me! I told you...
To have us disappear in the desert?
Nothing would surprise me, Phil.
Well, I can understand why he'd want to get rid of you.
But me?
I've never been out here before, alright?
I'm sorry? Fuck!
Well, you're the only alternative.
The only person who could really put up a challenge.
Has it not occurred to you?
Three men who've never driven this route before...
I stand by the Prime Minister 100%, Phil.
You'll find no more loyal support than mine to our current leader.
Oh, Christ. It has occurred to you.
And I'm no threat.
Hello!
To be honest, I don't think the PM likes me.
You know, on a... We're fucked.
..on a personal level,
I always feel like he's suffering my company.
Rough show, old boy.
Uh...
No idea, boss.
I mean, we can go further out, but in which direction?
Leo, we're hungry!
Uh, well, we'll... we'll get you something to eat, Mol.
We are hungry, mate.
Well, then go to the mess.
It's not fuckin' rocket science, Murph!
Hey, um...
..there's something I need to tell you guys.
That'd be bloody Rupert.
Driver, I suggest you follow that plane.
Yes, sir.
Leo!
Whoa! I hope Frank is bloody up for it.
Raring to go, Your Excellency.
You remember St John. Afternoon.
Er, Henskens.
Sorry to bugger up your timetable, Leo,
but I can't keep my PM waiting, can I?
He's absolutely shitting himself over this Suez thing.
At least we'll soon have a resolution
for the bloody Middle East one way or the other!
Hey, St John, did you know,
Leo here blew up a whole load of Nazis at the Meuse at Givet?
Bit of a legend with the engineers.
Of course I knew, sir. I thought everyone knew.
Oh, that's alright. Rub it in. I'm getting on, I know.
Come on, let's go.
Thank Christ.
This is the only good thing that's happened today.
Ah, you're welcome, my son. Should be quite a feast.
Give us a ride.
Aren't you going back to Adelaide?
No. Rupe has to leave first thing.
And they say there's heavy weather around Adelaide,
so... might as well kip here.
A couple of cables, Excellency.
This one from Lady Edgely.
Oh!
Tell her yes to the swimming pool,
but no to the second gazebo.
This from the Prime Minister.
Ah! St John, can you imagine it?
Your Grimmett's gonna go to the hunt.
See, I told you it was worthwhile going back.
I bet you Eden wants to shoot Eeyore's balls off.
Oh. What?
Oh, this, er... Suez kerfuffle
seems to be getting out of hand a little bit.
Israel and Egypt are upping their game.
Ah, Cranky, you old bastard, you! How are you?
Tickety-boo, Rupe. Tickety-boo.
Ah, you've got drinks. Excellent.
Well, I may join you. Oh.
Er, another whisky, will you?
So. How's Marjory?
Oh, fine.
Of course, I haven't seen her for...
Can't even remember how long I've been here.
Cheers. Cheers.
So good to see you.
The scientists are here to give their report, sir.
What? Already?
Fuck, I've barely had two seconds talking to Cranky!
Apologies, Your Excellency.
Very well.
Herd the boffins in.
Gentlemen. Good evening.
I'm sorry. I... I don't understand you.
I need to go back to the camp.
I've got to catch a plane.
You know... a plane.
This is the BBC.
Facing a hostile and vocal opposition in the House today,
Prime Minister Eden assured the House
that after thorough investigation,
there are definitely no more KGB spies
in British government agencies.
He says that the likes of Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean...
Ministers. You made it.
Carmichael. Attorney.
Minister. Carmichael.
I presume you'd both like to change and freshen up before dinner.
Of course.
Your... your quarters are just this way.
Really hard and really fast. I can bat.
Right, you can beat him? Ask him. I can bat.
Really. Donald Bradman. Overrated, mate.
Yeah. He's Batman.
I'm starting to feel like a prisoner in here.
Um, I'll have one dark beauty from the top.
OK. One dark beauty for the flyboy.
If I don't take a bath soon, I'm... I'm gonna go nuts.
I'm out.
Well, I am in for five.
Ooh! Someone's being flashy.
Well, if you've got it, why not?
Well, we'll see about that.
I am... out.
Oh, well, unless Molly's...
I'm out. Oh. Hello. OK. Then, um...
..Yvonne and I are gonna need a little bit of privacy.
No, no, no, no, no!
What's fucking wrong with you?! You fucking idiot!
Fucking all in together!
The general and His Excellency are just through here.
Very well. They're with the scientists.
Started without us? Were we that late?
Guess we were.
Hold on. You're a little off whack.
Major.
I just have the Attorney-General and Defence Minister.
Bad time, I'm afraid. Just a couple of minutes.
Oh.
They just need a few more moments, Ministers.
For what?
That's just what I was told, Attorney.
Excuse me.
I've had it up to here with being treated this way!
We're ministers of the Crown!
I served in the Great War!
I'm as loyal as any man alive to Queen and country,
but, Christ, sometimes, Phil...
I mean, do you actually know what they're really doing here?
Because I don't!
I'm just the defence minister. They wouldn't tell me.
I don't think the PM knows.
And worse still, I don't think he cares!
Whatever Churchill and Eden ask him,
Ming just drops 'em without even blinking!
Gentlemen.
Good evening, gentlemen.
Ministers. So sorry to have kept you.
Jesus Christ!
I can't help it, mate.
Mate, she's a hooker. You don't fall for hookers.
It's the golden rule of prostitution.
In fact, it defeats the whole point of the exercise
if you do fall for her!
Look, just listen to me, you idiot.
Step one, you're gonna go back there
and shake hands with Bern, yeah?
Step two?
Who cares? There is no step two!
You sound like a fucking 14-year-old!
It's 1956, mate. Grow up.
So, Rupert, how are things with the Americans right now?
All well.
And you're not doing these tests in Nevada because...?
Well, this is Commonwealth land, Dick.
And we're gathering extremely useful information
and we want to keep it in the family.
I see.
Because they tell me they don't want to play sharesies with you.
You know, what with all your red spy scandals.
I was in Washington a couple of months ago,
and they seem to fear
there are more British agents spying for the Russians
than there are spying for the British.
Nonsense!
It's just blood under the bridge.
I'm just curious, Rupert.
Of course, after that press conference
the other day in Moscow
with Burgess and Maclean confessing to everything,
I feared that might gum up the works with the Yanks a bit.
Well... let me allay your fears, Dickie.
I'm sure it's all tickety-boo.
I'm so relieved.
You got lost driving around the nation's attorney-general
and its defence minister?
Not a bloody clue, sir!
They gave me a map that was printed in 1926.
How did the nobs take it?
Oh, they were OK about it, really.
Had a right to have the shits in my book,
but Dick just read most of the time.
'Dick'? You're referring to Dick Wilcox,
you know, the Attorney-General.
I don't know his surname, sir.
I know they were both ministers,
but they were just Dick and Phil to me.
Phil slept a lot.
Sounds like he had a busy night before,
if you know what I mean, sir.
Really? A lady?
Well, could be ladies by the sound of things.
Oh, no!
You wouldn't think so looking at him, would you?
Not in a million years.
Yeah, but he sounds like a busy fella.
Still waters, Baxter. Yeah.
God, he's terrified that Menzies is gonna find out.
Really?
That's us there.
There was a young man from Devizes
Who had balls that were two different sizes.
The right one was small And was no good at all
But the left one was huge and won prizes!
Oh, excellent!
Oh, look. Easy. Ho ho!
Oh!
To progress!
Progress!
It's the riveting, mate. Takes a fuckin' age.
- Faster, dickhead! - Sorry, Cap.
Well, we could get there in time if we just skip two and four.
Skip the riveting?! Mmm.
On a tower which will explode a nuclear bomb?
The tower's going anyway, mate.
Trust me, it'll still take the weight. It'll be fine.
It's your call, mate.
Two out of four, Jack.
Jesus. It's never fuckin' easy, is it?
I'll just be a sec.
What the hell's happened here?
The girls and I have decided to go back to Adelaide.
All we can do here is sit and wait.
But I want to be very clear about something.
You have to promise me that you will find Carmen, OK?
And...
..if it's bad, I don't care what happens to us,
I'll be speaking to some of my powerful friends in Adelaide.
You've got 48 hours.
And if I can't find her in 48 hours?
You know what I mean by "my powerful friends", Leo.
So, what's your plan?
My plan is to make sure we all don't get executed
in the next 48 hours.
There are some very serious people here right now,
including the Attorney-General and the Defence Minister.
If they find out about you girls, we all...
What?
Leo, what?
Word is the Defence Minister has certain appetites.
Well, maybe some insurance might be useful.
Insurance.
Sure. That's how I'd put it.
We could use some.
Well, I'll see you in the morning, old boy.
I don't know how you managed to scratch together
such a marvellous dinner out here in this godforsaken place.
See you in the morning, Rupert.
Goodnight. Sleep well.
Goodnight, gentlemen.
Thank you, Corporal. See you at dawn.
Goodnight, gentlemen. Oh, er, by the way, St John...
Ah, yes, the Suez note. Well remembered, Excellency.
I'll, er... I'll dig it out.
Come on in. Goodnight, Henskens.
Goodnight, Corporal. Thank you, Henskens.
Goodnight, Your Excellency. Mr Moore.
What is it? What's wrong?
Get me a drink, will you?
Huh?
Yes!
Minister?
Yes? May I come in?
Wh... what is it?
I... I need to talk to you in private.
I'm a friend of a friend of yours.
Arthur Haskell?
Artie?
Yeah.
He's a very important politician too, right?
He's a friend. Oh.
Well, I'm a friend too.
You can't come back with me.
Not to London or Canberra.
What do you mean?
The cable from the PM.
What are you talking about?
I think we may have been rumbled.
What?
But Gladys has known for years.
Oh! It's not my sodding wife who's rumbled us!
Apparently there are whispers about us in Whitehall.
I think it's Macmillan.
It seems everybody knows about you and Guy Burgess.
So...
..you're gonna have to stay put for a while.
At least while I'm in London.
I'll read the room...
..and we can talk when I get back.
Stay put?
Here?
But this is where we send people to die.
What?!
We'll be picking you up in 20 minutes, Minister,
to take you to the test.
What?
Yes...
..fine.
Yep.
Alright.
Dick! It's me!
I need to come in. Yes?
Oh, Dick! What?
We've got a problem. What have you done?
We've got a problem. I really need your help.
What? Oh, Christ!
Oh, Christ, Dick, we've been set up!
We've got to fix it. I don't know who's done this!
Why would they do that?
Why do you insist on bringing your shit to my door?!
You're not listening to me, Dick!
What do I have to do with it? We need to fix this now!
You've got to help me get out of this!
Oh, shut up! Just shut up!
I could have you out of cabinet in a heartbeat.
Why shouldn't I tell the PM about this debacle
and throw you under a bus?! I'll tell you.
It'll hurt you politically more than it'll hurt him.
You've gone out of your way to align yourself with this place.
They're flying prostitutes into the facility! Booze!
Narcotics, probably!
You're in a tricky situation, Dick.
I'm in a tricky situation?! You're in a tricky situation.
You still want to be prime minister? Do you?!
Go on. OK.
In the public's eye, you're still too much like Menzies.
Stern, patrician.
I mean, it isn't a matter of trying to bring him down,
it's a matter of trying to lift you up.
And how do you propose I do that?
OK, you can make a few phone calls
in the interest of making this little... debacle...
..be handled with...
With sensitivity and discretion.
And discretion. Exactly!
And why would I do that?
Because when you do make your move on the PM,
you're gonna need every South Australian MP on your side,
and I'm the only cabinet minister
who can help you do that.
So, come on. I know. Alright.
Give those to me.
Alright, alright. You go.
We're gonna fix this? I'll meet you there.
Go on.
I need to get dressed.
The preparations are coming together.
Military, scientific and diplomatic personnel
make sure nothing can be left to chance or error.
Even George the Goat here
is prepared to do his bit for the realm.
When asked if he had any doubts about his contribution,
he replied he wouldn't have a 'baa' of it.
Tension grows as General the Lord Crankford
and His Excellency Sir Rupert Edgely
mount the platform with other dignitaries
to ensure nothing goes wrong.
There are tense moments.
As the countdown approaches, the tension mounts and mounts.
Time bracket open.
Phase marks completed.
All signals certify compliance.
Zone 1 armed.
Zone 2 armed.
Zone 3 armed.
Ten. Nine.
Eight. Seven.
Six. Five...
Turn your backs, everyone!
Three. Two.
One.
Bravo!

Please tell me you found Carmen.
We found someone else.
So, you're just assuming she's a spy?
I thought you released three of those
last night, Dr Ratchett.
And another six this morning.
Need to establish a trail if ever there is one.
I think it's a woman's ring. Why was she out there?
Your Mr Moore. Tongues are wagging in Whitehall, Rupe.
St John and I have decided
that it's about time we met some Aborigines.
I'm from the Australian Security and Intelligence Organisation.
ASIO.
