restraint...
which cannot be attacked... death.
I've never understood
what it is you want.
Just one thing...
a perfect detonator.
- More.
- Right away, sir.
It's a precise aim.
Unlike you, with your delegations...
your committees,
your revolutions.
Which are simply a mirror image of
the society you pretend to despise.
Here we are, sir.
Did you know there was, um, a man
blown up in Greenwich Park this morning?
- No.
- Huge explosion.
Fragments of body everywhere.
Here you are.
The usual newspaper "gup."
Criminal stupidity.
I don't know what you mean
by "criminal."
What everybody else
means.
I mean, something like this is
very dangerous for people in our position.
And you tell me you are giving your
stuff away to any fool who comes to you.
Both hands. Freely.
'Cause what's needed
is a clean sweep.
I don't give a damn
about consequences.
Can you describe the person
you gave the explosives to?
Describe him?
Yes. I can describe him
in one word... Verloc.
Verloc?
He said he wanted it for some kind
of demonstration against a building.
And he wanted to be able to carry it
in public without arousing suspicion.
So I cut the bottom out of
an old one-gallon copal varnish can.
Afterwards, I re-soldered it.
I put the detonator
in the screw cap.
What do you suppose happened?
I don't know.
Once you tighten the cap
and make the connection...
gives you 20 minutes.
It also becomes
extremely volatile.
So, either he let the time
run too close or he let it fall.
I can't imagine
what came over Verloc.
He was a nobody.
A quite ordinary personality.
Useful, but no more.
Married, even.
Ran a shop, which I imagine...
his wife started for him.
He didn't tell you why?
I didn't ask.
I don't know what I should do.
What you usually do, I imagine.
Fasten yourself to the woman
for all she's worth.
Well, well, well.
- Chief Inspector Heat.
- It's all right. I'm not looking for you.
Not this time. When I am,
I shall know where to find you.
And I'm sure your obituary will be
more flattering than you deserve.
Also, however conscientiously
your friends may try and sort us out...
I'm afraid some of you may end up
being buried with some of me.
This sort of stuff is all very well
for frightening children.
No time like the present.
You'll never have a more favorable
opportunity for making a humane arrest.
It's just you and me.
Not even a cat around.
Surely that's a worthwhile self-sacrifice
for a public servant.
You'd do it if you knew how cruelly
tempted I am every time I walk in a crowd.
If I was to grab you now...
I'd be no better than you.
You'll never get me so cheap.
I don't know what your game is.
I don't expect you know yourself.
You're really famous
for not understanding our game.
Well, whatever it is, give it up.
You'll find
we're too many for you.
Good job you people always
make such a mess of things.
If a burglar was that incompetent,
he'd starve.
Better at my work than you are.
That's quite enough of that.
Lunatic.
Good day.
Evening.
Please make yourself comfortable,
Chief Inspector.
Thank you, sir.
Sit down.
A couple of weeks ago, you assured me
there was no prospect whatsoever...
of any outbreak
of anarchist activity.
I passed this on to the home secretary.
He was extremely pleased.
He smiled at me.
I wonder if you can imagine how annoying
I find the memory of that smile.
None of our lot had
anything to do with this, sir.
Tell me what you discovered
in Greenwich.
Our man arrived at Maze Hill station
at 11:08 on the Gravesend train.
Short, stocky fellow.
He was carrying a tin can.
- As a matter of fact,
there was two of them.
They'd come from a place
called Aldington, near Hythe.
An old woman saw them making their way
towards the observatory.
The explosion happened
