WEBVTT - Episode 3: Fodor's Guide to London, Chapter 1 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:12.360 History and tradition greet you at every turn in London, 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:15.040 yet it's also one of the most modern cities you 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.760 can find. First established by the Romans, it grew to 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.400 be the capital of one of the largest empires and 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.880 remains one of the largest cities in the world. Built 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:27.840 on the River Thames, London has always been an important 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:31.200 center for culture and trade, and is so diverse that 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.680 it is said over three hundred languages are spoken within 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:39.280 the city. If London contained only landmarks such as Westminster 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.320 Abbey and Big Ben, it would still rank as one 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:46.000 of the world's great destinations. But Britain's capital is so 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.559 much more. While the culture may be reserved built on 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:54.160 etiquette and comportment, beneath that stiff upper lip resides a 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.720 society that loves a good beer and a good time. 0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.560 The lively pubs are just as large a part of 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.560 the culture of the city has Buckingham Palace. 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:02.920 Jean. 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:08.600 Gene, you can put your pen down. What take a 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:09.560 look out the window. 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:14.080 We're here, ah, London. It's great to be back. 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.679 I wouldn't have minded a little more notice. 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.360 Need I remind you, darling, this is what you wanted, 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.280 A big new publisher means that our schedule is no 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.479 longer in our own hands. The demands are larger, Yes, yes, 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:31.560 I know. Fortunately with larger demands come nicer accommodations. Martin 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.039 booked us a room at the Savoy. 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:38.039 M Okay, I can live with that, I thought. 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:38.200 So. 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.840 See, some changes are going to be very positive. Some 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.680 well different, Like the new photographer just one of the 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.560 many ideas Martin has to modernize our guide books. 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.520 But I'm fine with making the move to color photos. 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.360 But I don't love that we weren't allowed to find 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.720 someone to hire ourselves with what time? 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:01.440 Anyway, Martin says this Rebecca is the cream of the crop, 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.480 a young talented freelancer right out of college who's eager 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.800 to impress us. She's meeting us at the train station 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:10.160 any minute now, So don't forget to be nice when 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.960 am I not? And keep in mind, while you may 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.560 not continue to snap every photo in our book, you 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.200 will have final say over what is printed. You are 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.400 the editor now, and we need to delegate so we 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:22.560 can allow the business to grow. 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.280 All right, Bud. If her work is SuPAR, then she 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:26.880 won't be. 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:34.680 Back during cross station choring cross station. 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:55.840 That's us mister and missus Podor. 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.320 Hello, you must be miss Ralston. 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.600 Oh, please call me Rebecca, and you must call us 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:03.560 Gina and Vlasta. 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.079 Is so so nice to meet you both. 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:07.639 I was worried I'd miss your train with. 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.840 All these clouds coming and going, and there really are 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:11.080 a whole lot of people in London. 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:12.960 When did you arrive in dumb Oh? 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:13.480 Last night? 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.280 I was so chatlied, but I was like, Rebecca, you 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:17.120 are in London. 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.200 Go to the pub. Have you ever tried? Oh my god, 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:20.840 what do they call it? 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.519 Baker's and mash I can't say I have fun name 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:26.680 disgusting fair? 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.720 Well, shall we get going? 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.440 Hold on, I'd like to learn a little more about Rebecca. 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:42.600 Sure thing. 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:44.520 How did you meet Martin? 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.600 I was interning at Time magazine and Martin was closing 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.640 a deal with my boss at the time. We got 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.920 to talking and he knew I was eager for more 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:52.600 road work. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.280 I'm not the most suitor to being in office, though. 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.360 I did learn a lot, so when he offered me 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.360 a job working with the best trials in the world, 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:02.880 I jumped at the chance. 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.480 I see you and what do you shoot on? 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.320 Well, I guess that depends on the subject matter. 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.320 I use my hustle blot for landscape and portraiture if 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.760 I need a longer exposure. But if you like me 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.720 to lean more into the feeling of the city and 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.320 the action of the streets, I brought my leika. It 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.599 allows me to capture the intimate details and the candid action, or, 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:26.560 like Bresson likes to say, the decisive moment. And I 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.760 use a variety of film speeds depending on the movement 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.120 and time of day. But given how gloomy it is 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.480 in London right now, I'd say we start with four hundred. 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.640 Satisfied darling for now. 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.760 Yes, let's see what you got awesome. 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.239 I'll take you to the hotel to drop your stuff. 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.560 Martin sent a list of sights to begin with for 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.480 Gina and I to visit and flast up. He sent 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:53.800 this briefcase for you. They are mock ups, writing samples 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.440 and budget spreadsheets. Man, I saw plenty of those during 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.920 my internship at Time Magazine, Like I have my work 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:01.760 cut outs for me. 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.640 The Savoy will make a wonderful office. 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:08.200 And gee, if it's not too much trouble, I would 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.240 love to make it to Big Ben by magic hour. 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.200 Then let's get a move on, and we'll meet you 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:14.080 back at the hotel later. 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:18.560 Darling, Yes, go capture those decisive moments. 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:28.200 Well, Plastic seems smart, beautiful and tough as nails. Satisfying 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.040 her might be harder than completing this mission. 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.880 It'll get easier once she gets to know you. She's 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.400 always handled everything, so it's going to be an adjustment 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:36.720 for her to let go of the reins a bit. 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:37.920 I get it. 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.440 These books are her baby and you're her husband. Not 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.560 many women would want to share both. But now that 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.520 we are alone, are you carrying the microphone? 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.599 Yes, it's in a hidden compartment in my coat. 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.719 Good, then follow me. We're right on time. 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.560 Wait, Big Ben is the other direction. 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:55.520 I shot it yesterday. 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.440 We have a stop to make where we're going to 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.400 meet Roger Hollis for a drink. It will tends and 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:01.400 deliver the microfilm. 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.920 Roger Hollis. I worked with him during the war. At 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.760 the time, he was in MI five's f Division, which 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:11.920 was a secret organization focused on counter subversion tactics. Clever fellow, 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:13.640 but I'd hate to play poker with him. 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.839 Well, now he's Director General of m I five, so 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:18.320 I guess he's played his cards. 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.680 Right, and Wilton's is a perfect venue for such an exchange. 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.120 And only a block away. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:29.200 Wilton's isn't just any restaurant, It's a true London institution. 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.600 You can file Wilton's in your mental library under restaurants. 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.080 You can still acceptably take your grandfather to places where 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:41.080 round red men go to nap and things older than America. 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.880 It is that last point which is most telling. Wilton's 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.440 turned two hundred and seventy six this year, and it's 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.599 fair to say that its dining room has done a 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.400 fat lot more good for the world's cultural and economic 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:58.600 prosperity in those years than the teenage nation across the pond. Indeed, 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.240 it's a not very well kept secret that Wiltons was 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.040 for many years the proxy financial center for the real 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.000 deal makers of London, back in an age when due 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.640 diligence amounted to little more. Then we'll see a good 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.040 scrum at prep school. And where does he buy his shirts? 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.760 The correct answer to witches just across the street at 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:23.680 Turnbull and Asser. In fact, Michael Heseltine, the former Deputy 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.600 Prime Minister and co founder of the publishing behemoth Haymarket, 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:34.360 memorably described Wilton's as his company's work canteen. Jean, Hello, 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:38.880 well if it isn't Roger Hollis and Charles so good 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:39.280 to see you. 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.560 Yes, and this is my wife Anne. 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.040 I've heard so much about you. 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.560 Wonderful to meet you, Rebecca. Have you had the pleasure 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.320 of meeting Charles and ann elwell yet? Charles is another 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:49.480 one of my buddies from the war. 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.120 Oh more than that, Jean saved my life. Not quiet, 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.120 don't be modest. Under orders from m I five, I 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.520 worked with the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve to help smuggle 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.560 British agents into occupied to when I was captured and 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.800 placed as a pow in Colditz Castle. 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.640 If you're not familiar with Colditz, it was one of 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.280 the most noted Nazi prisoner of war camps for enemy 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:10.320 officers during the war. 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.080 More colloquially known as Oa Flag, it was a. 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.760 Thousand year old fortress right in the heart of Hitler's 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.920 Reich that was nearly impenetrable, with two meter thick walls 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.160 built on a cliff with a sheer drop of seventy 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.040 five meters to the river Mulda below. 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.360 Gene, I missed you. Encyclopedic knowledge, and it was this 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.600 knowledge that helped Jane lead a team to liberate the castle, 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:29.720 finally framing me at the end. 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:30.000 Of the war. 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:31.680 Very impressive. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.400 Are you still with m I five, Charles, Yes, as 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.880 is n Really that's fascinating. I'm sure it makes for 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.400 a good dinner conversation. 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:41.920 If it's not top secret altogether. 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.240 As nice as it is to catch up on old times, 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.800 we have more pressing business to address. Please, let's take 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:55.520 a seat. Martin says, you have something to share with. 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.440 Us, Yes, of course, just here in my pocket. 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.440 Well see, the Soviets have created detailed pathfinder maps of 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:07.160 London and every major city in Western Europe. This came 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:08.760 from a source deep inside the Kremlin. 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:10.560 Lives were lost for this. 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:15.600 We greatly appreciate you delivering this intelligence. We've been dealing 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.840 with some critical intelligence leaks of our own, which is 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.480 the real reason I had Martin arranged this meeting. 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.800 What do you mean Since. 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.600 The nineteen fifties, dozens of covert operations within MI five 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:33.360 have failed. In addition, KGB's spies have evaded capture both 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.959 in the UK and the US, and the only explanation 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:42.080 is that someone has been warning them. We believe there 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.080 is a spy ring working within mi I five. 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.480 These KGB mulls have been crippling and corrupting our biggest 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.920 operations for decades. Hell, even the plans for the Manhattan 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.400 Project when hands of the Soviets before the nuclear bombers 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:55.079 even tested. 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.040 And now we have our own Manhattan Project and we 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.920 fear the same results. The HMS Dreadnought is the UK's 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.400 first nuclear submarine and we can't afford for these plans 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.240 to end up in the hands of. 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:12.000 The KGB nuclear submarines and bombs. All that sounds very 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:15.080 high stakes, but what does this have to do with me. 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.199 M I five needs, Eugene. There is a mole within 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.000 the company and no one can be trusted, even in 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.120 the highest chambers of intelligence. 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:27.080 So we need someone outside the intelligence apparatus to conduct 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:27.959 the investigation. 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.959 I thought we were just delivering the film, that was it. 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:33.959 The mission is an over yet, Gene. 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.160 If we don't expose this mole and prevent these plans 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.160 from leaking, then recovering these maps would be useless. 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:42.200 The Soviets will have both. 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.160 The means and the method to attack. 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.960 We believe it is this very mole who gave the 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.920 Soviets the information pathfinder used to make his maps. 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.559 We've gotten close before that, the suspects escaped at the 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.520 last minute, or missions have been canceled in the minic 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:54.920 of time. 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:56.960 So how are we supposed. 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:01.200 To help strictly information gathering? We suspect the mole is 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:05.680 in the Admiralty, most likely the Naval Intelligence Division. You 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.319 will work directly with Charles and Anne to conduct surveillance 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.040 on the various suspects. They don't know who you are, 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:13.800 and no one else in MI I five will know 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:18.320 about this operation. When you find the traitor, you report 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:19.480 him directly to me. 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.520 Sounds straightforward enough. 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.079 Good, then I must be off. I trust you will 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.760 handle this in both a discreet and timely fashion. 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.839 What Rod I meant to say is we appreciate your 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:35.360 help with this. 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.680 I'm sure just slipped his mind. So where do we 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:42.520 begin with the Vice admiral that high up the food chain. 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.440 Here's our file on him and the surveillance vote has 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:46.199 collected so far. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.160 Who is this man standing beside him in most of 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:51.920 these pictures? 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.520 Oh, that's John Vassel, local officer to the Vice. 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:59.000 Admiral, clerical officer. His suits are a touch too nice 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.400 for that station rests nicer than the admiral himself. I 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.160 know where these suits come from, and they cost more 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.839 than a government's salary would provide. Do you have any 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:07.840 more information on him? 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:09.559 We'll pull his file immediately. 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.720 Good. In the meantime, since I know the tailor, perhaps 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.760 Rebecca and I will go try on a suit or two. 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.920 Savile Row is a street in central London, but it's 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.079 also much more than that. It is home to the 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:36.160 finest in suits and tailors in the world. In eighteen 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.800 forty six, Henry Pool, later credited as the creator of 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.120 the dinner jacket, opened an entrance to Savile Row from 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:47.559 his tailoring premises in Old Burlington Street. Other tailors followed, 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.960 and soon the bespoke movement was born. This is where 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.760 the first suits were cut and made by hand, and 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:58.640 the tradition lives on. This short street has been termed 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.480 the Golden Mile of tailor, where customers have included Charles 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:07.840 the Third, Winston Churchill, Lord Nelson, Laurence Olivier and Duke Ellington, 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.600 to name just a few. And tailors are much like 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:15.120 barber's they are the ears of a certain demographic within 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:19.240 a city. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.280 Hello Sir and madam, welcome to Huntsman and sons. How 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:24.199 may be of assistance? 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.199 Yes, I yes, thank you. 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.400 My husband here is in desperate need of a new suit. 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:31.480 His friends said you were the best in town. 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.600 That is very kind, darling. 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:35.960 How many suits did John say he had? 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:36.320 No? 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:42.079 I think he said dozens. But you know vassal always exaggerating, Vassal, 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.880 John vassal, He is, in fact telling the truth. I've 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.440 personally fitted him for more than three dozen of my 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:49.559 finest suits. 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.120 Hu, no wonder he always looks so sharp. 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.200 A suit like that must set him back a pretty penny. 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.720 Oh, honey, you cannot put a price on elegance. 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.640 Your lovely wife is correct. Of course, it depends on 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.040 the cut and material that. 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:03.640 Is your preference. 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:08.000 I just love that suit in the window and good taste. 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.319 I've learned long ago not to argue with my wife. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.280 Do you have time to take my measurements? Of course, 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:15.719 if you would just stand right here for. 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.679 Me, fantastic. 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.920 We're attending a wedding next week and I'm just desperate 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.480 to get him into something new. Man so resistant to 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.080 change sometimes. Can I write the delivery address down for 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:29.560 you while you finish the measurements. 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:31.680 Yes, please leave it in the address book. It's on 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:38.000 the counter there, all right, very good and done. 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.400 And how much do we owe you with this material? 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.920 It'll be three hundred quid, madam. I can have it 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:45.040 finished top of the week. 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.840 Expensive, but worth every penny. I'm sure he will be 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:50.640 quite dashing. 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.440 As they say, madam, the suit makes the mass. 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:55.800 Oh, it certainly makes them better. 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.000 Then perhaps I should also order three dozen like John, I. 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:00.720 Think we'll just stick with one for now. 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.960 Now, come along, dear, we have some more shopping to do. 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.640 Of course, darling right behind you. Thank you both, and 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.120 have a splendid evening. 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.920 Nice suit, too bad, Vlosta will never see you in it. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.720 Three hundred pounds of suit and over three dozen suits, 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.680 that's like ten thousand pounds. There's no way he can 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.280 afford that on a government salary. 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.400 Why don't we swing by Vassal's house and check it out. 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:27.800 I pulled his address from the shop ledger when I 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:28.640 wrote down the fake. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.800 Delivery smart what's the address? 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.360 Eight hundred and seven Hood House. I think that's near 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:35.800 the Thames Hood House. 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.560 I know that area. That's on Dolphin Square where it's 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.680 one of the most expensive addresses in London. Unless he's 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.320 related to the royal family. What is a deputy clerk 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:47.040 doing living there. 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.160 Let's call in in Charles to let them know what 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:50.680 we've learned. 0:15:51.160 --> 0:16:11.480 There's a payphone. Hello, Ann, it's Gina and Rebecca. Did 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:12.920 you get any more information on Vassal? 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.280 Yes? Actually you were concerned about his finances and we 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.000 just learned his yearly salary is seven hundred and fifty 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.120 pounds a year and he's not independently wealthy. Plus he 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.480 recently left the country with his passport to come months 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:28.160 back for a two week vacation to Aruba. He's definitely 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:29.320 living above his station. 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.920 We just came back from the tailor shop. Between the suits, 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.520 the trips and the flat on Dolphins Square, there's no 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.720 question Vassals living beyond his means. The question is where 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:38.880 is that money coming from. 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.720 We're going to case Vassal's apartment to see what else 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:43.920 we can find. We'll check back in later. 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.080 Okay, but be careful. 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.520 Case the apartment. How are we going to do that? 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:53.120 We aren't going to do anything. 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:55.840 You are going to stand outside and keep a lookout 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.520 while I break into his apartment and search for clues. 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.160 That sounds like a bit more than surveillance. 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.000 Surveillance was your job. 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.119 I have my own company to answer to, and they 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:06.359 play by their own rules. 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:07.320 Let's move. 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.879 At the time of its first construction, Dolphins Square's twelve 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.360 hundred and fifty upmarket flats were billed by Sir Nicholas 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:26.600 Pevsner as the largest self contained block of flats in Europe. 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.800 Boasting the most developed private garden square in all of London. 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.840 Due to its proximity to the Palace of Westminster and 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.040 built near the River Thames, Dolphin Square became one of 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:42.040 the most popular residences in the city for politicians and royalty, 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.640 with more than seventy MP's and at least ten lords 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:50.440 calling it home. A full block of luxury apartments right 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:52.240 in the heart of central London. 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.439 All right, Gene, we've been watching this place for the 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.560 better part of an hour. It looks like no one's home. 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.320 You stay here, well, I go inside to investigate. 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:02.000 I can't just. 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:04.639 Let you go in there alone. What if something goes wrong. 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:06.560 I can take care of myself. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.960 That's clear, But what about me. I'd be awfully alone 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:10.480 out here. 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:15.200 And who said chivalry was dead? Fine? Follow me, stay 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:16.919 quiet and stay close. 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:25.119 What are you doing. 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:26.160 Picking the lock? 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:28.720 Thought it'd be more subtle than kicking down the door. 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.040 How long's that take? We don't know how long he'll 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:31.359 be gone. 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:32.199 For good thing. 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:41.520 I'm quick teta keep the lights off, Try not to 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:42.400 disturb too much. 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:49.320 The man certainly has good taste. These rugs alone cost 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:49.800 a fortune. 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.760 I'll go shack upstairs. You search down here, let me 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:54.280 know if you find anything suspicious. 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.520 Ah, this is where he keeps all those swanky suits. 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:19.280 Hey jeans, Come look at this. 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:19.919 Where are you? 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:26.760 I'm upstairs in the bedroom. 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:28.119 What'd you find? 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.879 Hidden cameras and mics they are everywhere. 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:34.160 Maybe the Soviets are spying on him too. 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.520 Maybe, But how do you explain these photos? 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:39.800 They were in a vanity drawer with a false bottom. 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:44.240 Whoa, These are some seriously compromising pictures he has of himself. 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:48.240 Not to mention many members of parliament. I recognize several 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:49.520 of d MPs from the papers. 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:52.560 Jesus, he's running a classic honey trap. 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:54.080 Honey trap, that's right. 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.000 He lures them and seduces them and captures it all 0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:59.919 in his hidden cameras and recorders. Then he uses the 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.400 to blackmail. Then only difference is it's usually a woman 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.960 running a honeytrap. These photos would ruin a lot of 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:08.600 careers in marriages, even. 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:12.879 More effective for blackmail. Shit, he's home. 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:13.959 What do we do? 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.080 Hide in the closet? If he finds us, I'll handle it. 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:18.560 You. 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:19.840 I have an idea. 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:21.760 What are you doing with that suit? 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:25.720 Mister Vassal? Is that you? The hell? 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:26.000 Are you? 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.240 What are you doing in my apartment? I was sent 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:31.760 from h Huntsman and Sons with a lovely new suit 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.560 for you. I knocked and found the door unlocked. I'm 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.119 terribly sorry for the intrusion, but I couldn't bear to 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:39.480
