Would you like another -

Please.

Thank you.

What in God’s name?

Shall we dance?

Excuse me, sir?

I’m very sorry to interrupt, I need to.

Ah, Pascal, how nice to see you again.

Enjoying the party -

Splendid affair.

I was until I was informed that your man English and his curious boyfriend here have spent the evening breaking into my office and assaulting my staff.

Is this true, Bough?

What in God’s name do you think you’re up to?

Go home, Bough!

Now!

I gave you direct orders not to meddle with Sauvage.

What do you do,

You break into his office and assault two of his staff.

Then you march in here, loaded with God only knows what, and insult the foreign secretary.

I haven’t encountered such behaviour in Whitehall in 30 years.

But -

There are no “buts,” English.

You’re off the case,

Your security clearance is hereby cancelled.

After a three-month leave of absence, you will return at your old grade.

And I hope never to hear your name again.

English has seen too much.

We go to plan B.

Get rid of the fake Archbishop and green-light the visit to Her Majesty.

And then this pathetic country can humiliate itself by crowning me officially.

That’s a letter of abdication renouncing your claims to the throne and the claims of your entire family.

Sign it.

Never.

Yes?

Prime Minister, I’m sorry to call so late, but I’m afraid the Queen has abdicated.

What?

Abdicated, But that’s not possible.

I only wish that were true.

You know what, let me talk to her, Maybe she just.

Pascal, she’s gone.

Now, my people have spent the last 10 hours trying to track down the rightful heir to the throne and they’ve come up with a name, which they’ve double-checked.

Who is it?

It’s you -

No!

In the wake of the return of the Crown Jewels to a police station in North London, Pascal Sauvage has requested that his coronation take place this Thursday.

In the House, the prime minister said he was looking forward to the ceremony and he believed that Monsieur Sauvage will make a fine king and will bring all that is best about modern Europe to our ancient institution.

Get your car keys, We’ve got work to do.

Miss Campbell.

Sauvage is heading back to his chateau in France.

And he’s invited 13 of the richest criminal masterminds in the world to meet him there.

I’m sorry, Miss Campbell, I’m off the case.

It’s been reassigned.

I know, Reassigned to me.

Look, I want you with me, Johnny

Look, just leave me alone.

What are you gonna do, Sit here in this grotty flat feeling sorry for yourself?

Or are you gonna get out there and save your country?

I’m gonna sit in the flat.

Johnny, this is ridiculous -

I’m a spent force.

Spent, my ass.

Will you please stop?

I’ll just be a minute.

It’ll be nightfall in an hour,

Then we can strike out for the chateau.

The fact is, the moment Sauvage gets that crown on his head, he’ll be able to do whatever he likes with the country that I love, and that is why you and I have got to stop him.

Relishing the thought -

Something like that.

I suppose you’ve made love to lots of women, haven’t you, Johnny?

You know, one does one’s best.

It’s just.

Well, it’s been three years since my fiancé left me, and since then, I haven’t made love to anyone.

But then I met you, and I felt this hunger, deep down inside.

I wanted to say things to you.

I wanted to do things to you that I haven’t wanted to do in a very, very, very long time.

What, uh.

What sort of things are we talking about?

Things like punching you in the face.

Things like kicking you in the backside

But then I started to see beyond the idiot that everybody else saw.

I started to see the man on the inside, a man who was determined to do his duty, no matter what or who lay in his way.

And I began to feel other things for him, to wanna do other things for him.

Things.

Involving plastic toys and soft cheese?

What -

What, What?

You’re toying with me, aren’t you, You’re telling me to stop in the gentlest way you know how.

No, No.

You’re such a special person, Johnny, not to take advantage of me while I’m vulnerable.

No, Well.

So thank you for being such a gentleman.

Not at all.
