"This is not to be negotiated" "So you go ahead, you do your job," " and you swallow it." " Proceed with the operation." "Everybody there is a bomb!" "Get under your desks." "Now!" "Now!" "And I'll like to suggest that you and I tried to minimise this new tension and avoid any misunderstanding" "You will forgive me, if I have no assurances to offer in response" "Not today, when we are still counting the dead." "The gun to the head of an Iranian diplomat, live of British Television." "We'll be lucky to salvage any kind of peace after this." "We know too much about each other, it's not safe." "I know." "You betrayed everyone that every trusted you." "You're a traitor." "We trusted you" "You betrayed this operation, and you betrayed Harry's." "You've never found your place, and now..., now you don't have one." "I switched syringes." "If I came with you, they'd know" "If they know, they'll come after you." "I can't let that happen." "You walk away and you don't look back." "Not ever." "Thanks for coming." "Hey, no problem" "Why am I here?" "In less than a week America will launch surgical air strikes at Iran's Nuclear facilities" "Yeah, unless the UN can talk them out of it." "It's likely that Iran will respond with tactical nuclear strike" "This is already coming down the wire from Washington correspondents thanks, and whatever, but I don't need a deep-throat to tell me this." "Adam, why am I here?" "The sequence of events that led to this point began with a train bomb in Tehran." "Everybody there is a bomb, get under your desks." "That bomb was detonated by MI5" "I personally couriered it to Tehran" "An officer name Zafar Younis planted the bomb" "It turns out that we were acting on intelligence fabricated by the Americans who wish to expose" "Iran's biological weapons program to the world, and thus precipitate a hot war" "The war that we don't seem to be able to stop" "I'll give you the whole story" "I've stashed documented proof" "It's on a memory stick" "No 45 minute claims, no spin." "No Government intervention" "Hard proof" "You're going to give me a story that could topple the Government?" "and see the Home Secretary indicted for war crimes it could end the special relationship for ever and bring about such international condemnation that America would be forced to rethink its air strikes" "It's also the biggest story you'll ever break!" "If you give me a story like this, I've got no choice but to run with it" "Then you would be hanging yourself." "So I need to know why?" "I've had enough" "It's also time that America was brought to account for the mess it has created." "Well, those don't sound like the words of a spy." "Yeah, well, I don't think that I am a spy any more." "Listen, I need time to sort everything out" "My resignation among them." "Give me 48 hours" "Meanwhile," "Say nothing." "Please" "Let's put an end to it, once and for all." "Let's put an end to it, once and for all." "Stand away from your terminal, thank you." "Excuse me" " What's happened?" " Section D has been suspended, pending a full investigation of the Roz Mayers affair." "Putting aside for the moment the further of those currently rifling through our personal affects." "Please note that this suspension has no reflection on you or your service to this country" "Well..." "I guess I'll see you all later then" "Accept it, Adam, don't waste your anger." "A drink I think?" "Under the circumstances..." "an excellent idea!" "Cricketers?" "Ben" "Hi" "Erm, are you busy?" "Because as it turns out, I'm not." "OK" "Ben, yeah it's Adam call me back as soon as you get this message" "There has been some unexpected developments." "I've had to bring things forward a little bit." "I'm en-route to the documents we discussed so, erm yeah, we need to meet." "Today." "They made me give up my pass codes, I'm really cheesed-off" "My aunt used to say "Love your enemies, in case your friends turn out to be bastards!"" "If you want loyalty Malcolm, buy a dog!" "Connie, Gin and Tonic" "Large?" "Naturally" "Hey." "Hey." "Drink?" "Sure" "Hello Connie, how are you doing?" "Are you scared?" "Yes" "You should be" "But you were always clever like that, weren't you." "Always the clever one, Connie." "David, that was a long time ago, in a different world." "But the dead are still dead, for all that." "Why is it that men like you are always full of self pity" "I have some information for you now" "I want you to pass it on... to Harry." "Just like the old days" "What information?" "There is a bomb in London, today." "a car bomb" "I want you there all of you" "don't contact the services you do, and I'll know" "and tell me what I'll do you'll detonate the bomb at random blow a few kids to hamburger some coppers a few tourists" "Where is it?" "just stay by that phone and do what I say" "when I say you'll know soon enough where it is" "oh, and, er if you can tell Harry that I'm back for him" "Connie, what happened?" "Davie King" "just said to tell you, he's back for you for all of us he gave me this" "He wants the whole team, and he wants to do it his way" "Davie King likes to kill multiple targets using a single explosive device he rounds them up and then he blows them up" "Well he can't round us up, can he, not the whole team" "He can't make us go where he wants, do what he wants" "We have to get back to the grid" "No" "Connie" "I need you safe and properly debriefed" "What's the point" "You know him, he's got a bomb, he'll use it to kill you" "If you don't turn up, he'll send the services he'll kill the innocent, instead and he'll go on killing them until you cave in and do what he demands he'll never stop to contact you on that phone" "it's all I have to give he'll come for you you'll be alone then let him come" "I will not be rounded-up like livestock" "I will not" "Harry." "Mr. Home Secretary." "I urgently require renewed full security status for myself and my officers my team is under imminent threat of assignation" "I also have reason to believe that there is a terrorist attacked planned today in London" "Wait, wait, wait." "Slow down." "Are we talking Al-haeda, Iran, what?" "We are talking a walking ghost, with a death wish" "Ex-IRA, killer, named Davie King." "So what is it?" "A republican splinter group?" "Something altogether more intimate, I'm afraid." "Well then, the last place that you need to be is back on the grid" "You give me what you have and I'll get another section onto it" "Well, with respect, another section would have limited application" "I know King" "I know the way he thinks." "The way he works." "We have a file on this man?" "His IRA code reference is:" "J22F." "You can see for yourself what we are dealing with." "Well that's all we need." "That is not all we need" "I will not have British intelligence officers, suspended officers running around about the streets of London, playing out some moth eaten personal vendetta." "or playing piggy-in-the-middle with British lives." "Now" "You give me the information, and you go to ground." "Do you understand?" "What did he say?" "You know, I didn't quite catch it." "Malcolm, I'm enacting the Sun Strike Protocol," "We need to get Adam and Jo off the streets as soon as possible." "Harry" "Say nothing, I'm invoking the Sun-Strike protocol." "There's a place you know about, it belongs to me." "Be there as soon as you can" "Shit!" "They warn you when you first join the service that they use you while they can, and then" "but it doesn't make it any easier if anything, it makes it worst, because" "you think of all of the things you have done all of the times you might have died" "do you know how much I get paid for that privilege, BTW to risk being blown apart in the line of duty coz if you want a really good laugh ask me, ask me about my salary" "what's your salary?" "don't ask!" "A man called Davie King has planted a car bomb somewhere in London it's due to detonate at 6pm" "He's going to send us after the bomb and try and kill us with it" "He's done it before" "It's a very messy but efficient form of mass assassination" "Is this the entire inventory?" "I did find half a pack of Mummified cigarettes oh, er, a cassette tape of Led Zeppelins Untitled Forth Album" "I've been looking for that" "Also, a rather elderly model 10 Smith and Western revolver, with no firing pin" "It's utterly useless I'm afraid." "You'll have to forgive the rather discouraging ambiance" "My interior designer was going through a painful divorce" "Jo's not responding to the emergency signal" "What?" "We have to go and get her" "The point of the Sun-Strike protocol is to re-group in safety we've made our best endeavors to contact Jo, but but until she responds she's on her own." "I'm not sure that I can abide by that" "This could be all my fault" "I went to Kaplan" "You went Kaplan" "Why?" "To blow the whistle on the Tehran bomb, nuclear weapons, all of it" "People have a right to know what's being done in their name, Harry." "It is not your right to inform them, Adam." "And it is most certainly not your job." "It's not my job anymore, I'm done with it" "And this is your revenge is it?" "For losing Ros?" "Or hadn't you planned on taking us all down with you" "Be assured, you and I will discuss this in detail in the very near future." "Until then, we deal with the situation as it stands" "So call in, MI5, SO19" "We can't." "Davie holds all the strings, if we try and cut them, he'll detonate the bomb at random" "He'll ensure innocent people pay the price so we stay down we tell MI5 nothing" "You're talking about a completely rogue operation" "I'm talking about protecting British lives" "Davie should not even been allowed to set foot inside the country" "Someone used a great deal of influence to make that happen and who ever that someone might be he is our real enemy here." "so if you insist on walking out that door and alerting MI5 then I'm afraid you'll have to go through me to do it" "Pearce, is pissing in his panties" "I'm sure he's gathering his team to his bosom, right now as soon as I have run them all to ground" "I'll do the deed but first" "I need a phone trace to locate the journalist Kaplan" "You understand there's some limits what I can do at this end" "Oh, you can do this and you will" "I need to nibble around Harry's edges a little more to get him good and spooked." "I'll see if it can be done, no promises" "You understand that they is to be no collateral damage absolutely none we won't have a single innocent live put at risk" "Collateral damage" "Are they still calling it that?" "Just do the job no mess" "Break the terms of this agreement, and we'll have you smeared across the road like a skid mark." "Snapdragon was an IRA code word" "It was called in 40 minutes before the Cooks Town bomb in 1984" "The call also gave the registration of the vehicle in which the bomb was planted." "BWU 731K will be the license plate" "The toll that day was 3 men, 2 women all civilians a little school girl, 7 years old and two MI5 officers" "Who were the intended targets, I take it?" "Davie was Connie's man inside the IRA" "The Cooks Town bomb was his resignation" "After that particular atrocity, I went to some lengths to take him down." "and in the process, I did things, of which, I am still ashamed today." "then that war was over, and like good soldiers, we turned away from the battle field." "He still sends me a Christmas card every year, addressed to Thames House" ""Season's greetings Harry"" "Draws a little smiley face after my name" "Whoever contracted this man is someone who knows your history" "That's highly classified information" "Juliette" "No" "But if she, or *Yalter* wants to" "This is not Juliette" "I know you're angry and I know you're scared" "Do I look scared to you?" "No" "But you should" "Because whoever is doing this is exploiting your greatest weakness" "It's someone who knows your attitude to the IRA is unresolved yeah, unresolved" "They're trying to get inside your head Harry" "They want you to make bad decisions based on rage and the desire for revenge" "This from the mouth of an expert" "Yeah, from the mouth of an expert" "I know how you're feeling and I know the corrosive affect it can have" "Juliette would never authorise the use of a bomb on the streets of London." "How did you get in?" "You left your key under the mat" "It's not you is it Bob?" "You going to stab me with your knitting needles?" "They watch the doors you know, MI5" "They know you're in here" "I'll leave in the laundry truck with the rest of the dirty washing" "So this guy King, what do you want from me?" "Well he naturally has American connections" "Are you sure of this?" "In 1980 I flew him to New York" "From where I arranged for him to supply the IRA with a large shipment of explosives." "Kept them in business for quite a while made them terrible grateful" "Well whoever set him on you, it wasn't us and I think you already know this" "But what do you know Bob?" "I don't know if there is a direct connection but we've been keeping a close watch on Dariush Bakhshi" "Your Home Secretaries policy advisor, Jason Belling, has been making slippery little visits." "Back door jobs" "Whatever he's doing, he's not dropping off grapes and lifestyle magazines." "What are they discussing" "Who can tell" "We're pretty curious obviously but whatever it is it looks like they want you guys out of the way so that they can achieve it" "It feels weird being out of *friend* contact sorry, this thing's like an umbilical cord hey, you're persona non-grata remember someone else's turn to save the day" "I can't, I can't relax, I've just got to check in" "Oh My God" "What" "It's Jo" "Outliner, this is Sun-Strike control." "Do you understand me?" "What's your condition" "Erm, control, I'm fine" "You've been out of contact" "Yeah, I had my phone off." "Have you been home?" "No" "Are you alone?" "Yep" "Good, don't go home, don't go anywhere you're known" "Be at Albert Smith in one hour" "Don't be late" "Come alone" "You're actually freaking me out a bit here, is this a drill?" "Negative on that, Outliner, this is not a drill" "Be alert to a white male, 5ft 11in, dark with a pony tail." "If spotted do not intercept" "Ditch your phone, don't call this number." "As soon as I hang up, it's out of commission, OK?" "Watch your back Outliner, and be at Albert Smith in an hour" "What's going on?" "Shut up" "Don't move" "I didn't know you carried a gun" "I don't" "I think we should go" "I can't believe I'm standing here waiting to be assassinated" "It's not called a safe house for nothing" "Davie King's the predator today, and we're the prey." "Which means Moscow rules apply" "Treat London as enemy territory, keep our heads down wait for an opening, and then move" "There's something I could do." "Using this here may reveal our location, but I could use someone else's ISP if I'm permitted to leave" "Be careful Malcolm" "Where are you going?" "I'm looking out for Jo" "How did you find us?" "I've known about this place since 1991" "Do you want to know what I've been up to or not?" "Very much and you might like to hear this before you go rushing off" "Can I have a double espresso please?" "What was all that about?" "Adam gave me directions for the safe house said he's heading elsewhere" "and he wished me luck" "I don't think he's ever wished me luck before" "Jason" "Bob Hogan" "I'd like to take you for a ride in my car" "I'm a bit pushed for time today Bob" "Yes, I know" "Let's get in the car" "Please free feel to select anything from this list which resembles a brown caffeinated liquid in a cup with a dash of semi-skimmed milk and half a teaspoon of sugar." "You too" "Jo and I were at... the movies sorry so, who are we dealing with a bad man and a bomb in just over two hours" "Mr. Kaplan, you and I need to have a very serious chat" "But first, I hope you took your mothers advice about clean underwear, because we would like you to strip." "Not worry, we promise not to laugh trousers first" "So you drag me out to this shit-hole" "what next, are we going to have a little kiss" "I have some information that maybe of some personal relevance it concerns Harry Pearce" "a spook what about him close your eyes and concentrate, Jason, and I'm sure it will come to you" "Gorgeous" "I said call him off" "Carter, right?" "MI5" "You know damn well who I am" "What is it Jason" "You found out I was planning to blow the whistle on the Tehran bomb biological weapons on the streets of London" "If the British people found out, it would be the end of you, the end of people like you, the end of the Government." "and the end of whatever you have been cooking up with Dariush Bakhshi" "Run that by me once more, Adam, from the top" "Call him off" "What's the matter with you" "You think you're being smart getting Davie King to do your dirty work but you're out of your depth you don't know what've got yourself into call him off, before it's too late" "I heard a rumor that you had gone funny in the head, but I didn't know how funny you're having a laugh sunshine he's planted a bomb, innocent people are going to die" "if you can't call him off, admit it just admit it tell me where he is and let me stop him" "two hours two hours" "if you wanted us dead, this isn't the way this is not the way" "Oh Jesus Christ Almighty, come on give him up, Davie King, now there's nothing to give up" "And you'd better think about what you're doing if you don't want to spend the rest of your life medicated in a padded room, dribbling down your chin." "Oh, I've thought better it" "I'm going to execute the man who ordered my death and the death of my friends" "well then you're going to have to execute me you're obviously pathological because anything I say, you'll twist it to fit your delusional framework" "that's what psychotics do" "I'm being visited by dead people" "So they're on to you are they, Pearcy and his little team of munchkins they know who's after them" "Carter did have a polite word, yeah" "He told me that you intend to use a bomb, well that can't happen we won't stand for the death of British civilians nor would Harry, he'd rather die that's kind of the point the point is" "the point is it's about control" "I threaten civilians, therefore I control Harry Pearce and his team." "I use that as leverage to gather them in one place and then blow them over two square miles of Central London" "A bullet in the base of the skull would be quicker" "Oh, would it" "So now you're an expert on the killing of multiple targets." "so, let's suppose, that I execute one of them with a bullet to the brain the rest of them go under ground you're going to hunt them down for me, are ya?" "you're going to line them up for me are you?" "and you're going to manage to this before one of them gets to me or to you" "I'm doing this my way so" "be a good chap and shut your mouth" "well, you got him it doesn't help" "Belling couldn't kill King off, even if he wanted to, not now he's got a whiff of Harry's blood." "and he could be anywhere in Greater London 609 square miles there's no way to find them, and not enough time in less than two hours that bomb detonates scores of innocent people die, or we do that's some choice" "it's no choice at all." "King knows it." "The registration number belongs to a London taxi." "It was sold at auction 2 days ago." "Buying cars at auction is an old IRA tactic" "Davie's father was a taxi driver, he's taunting me" "I told you not to talk." "I didn't back off" "Adam, he's clean." "They tried to get to him too, I was there, I saw it." "They must have been following me, I don't know" "Jo's right Adam, he knows nothing for better or for worse, Mr. Kaplan is now on our side of this equation" " I can help..." " You can help by keeping your mouth shut, listening and doing what you are told." "Jason Belling" "Connie was right." "Belling contracted Davie King" "But Belling's not in control here, he's useless to us" "So what's the next step." "I said shut up and listen if you want to live today, just..." "shut up and listen it's my life too, I'm allowed an opinion" "Your life, doesn't matter." "Neither does mine, or hers, or his, or hers, or his." "So shut up and let us do our job." "right, how long do we have?" "90 minutes" "OK, we have the registration and the time of the explosion" "Davie King's controlling all the other variables here, but we don't just have to sit back and take it." "We take what we know and we use what we have" " So, what do we have?" " Habits." "Bomb makers are creatures of habit." "It's in psychology, they use tried and tested method usually with no more than small incremental refinements." "he's right of course so what do we know about King's bombs" "Pretty much everything" "I instructed him how to make them" "Jesus" "Oh, Jesus had very little to do with it" "Alright, special consul, cards on the table" "At 4am, the Prime Minister ended a long conference call with the American President." "Air strikes on Iran will commence in 36 hours" "Britain will have no choice but to lend Her support unless you and I finialise this deal our two countries will be at war" "Pearce, Carter, they don't deserve this." "But there knowledge is dangerous to me, and while this is so, I can't cooperate." "not even in the face of war especially in the face of war" "if we are to proceed, Mr. Belling, Pearce and his team must be eliminated." "there is no alternative" "They'll be dead in an hour" "Then in an hour, you and I can talk" "So, if Davie King was the turn-coat, the one who betrayed you, why does he hate you so much?" "It's none of your business, you don't need to know." "If I am going to die today the least I deserve, is to know why" "He's right Adam" "Davie personally eviscerated the very network in was put in place to protect a number of fine officers died the kind of deaths that haunts ones dreams our intelligence structures were severely disturbed" "Not all Davie's victims were British spies, or traitors to The Cause." "In the end, it just got so he liked it." "we tried to make him stop to send a message that indiscriminate murder was not acceptable." "Even in that dirty war." "we couldn't punish him directly so we punished him indirectly we planted evidence, entirely false evidence," "that Davie's father was a British informant." "his father was picked up, interrogated, he was a very decent man a taxi driver they found his body naked dumped in the street." "This was done under my command" "It was the single, filthiest order I ever gave and it didn't work" "this is Davie's game now." "He's waited long enough to play it" "Davie" "I'm about ready for the off, Harry just give me the location patience patience is just procrastination without the anxiety let's get this over with" "I admire your get-go attitude Harry, I really do." "but now you are going to need to listen to me" "Listening?" "All of you, including the journalist Kaplan, are to stand within 3 feet of the car." "any further than 3 feet and I will detonate the bomb, attempt to summon emergency services and I will detonate the bomb." "come armed or equipped in any way and I will detonate the bomb" "Once you have gathered in accordance with all these stipulations," "I will allow you 30 seconds to clear all civilians of the blast area." "Think of it as kind of..." "co-operation bonus if you fail to comply, in any way, I will detonate the bomb many will die." "Tomorrow, I will come back for more" "All clear now?" "Give me the location." "Gabriel Plaza." "The bomb will detonate a 6pm see you there, old chump." "That's one hour." "Gabriel Plaza" "This is Gabriel Plaza enclosed on three sides by commercial buildings." "Here, here, and here." "and overlooked by a forth here." "Davie will want direct line of sight to confirm our presence, he won't trust surveillance equipment in case we try to tamper." "He'll want to be clear of the blast radius" "So, he'll need height." "He'll be in one of the surrounding buildings" "Which one?" "Most of the floors will be occupied, not easily accessible" "He needs something he can get in to and out of." "We're looking for flats, offices to let, buildings under construction if we had time we don't have time what else do we have" "The bomb will be remote detonated, but it will have a backup timer mechanism" "He's caught bomb disposal units that way before." "In another country, a long time ago" "I suggest we make our peace with our various Gods." "and go" "Sorry you got caught up in all this" "Joking." "Story of a lifetime." "I can see the front pages now." "Bylines and everything." "What happens if I actually die?" "Well, your family never find out how" "To protect itself the service tells them some kind of lie." "There's no compensation, no life insurance, and no possibility of anyone ever finding out the truth." "and this is what you live with is it?" "every day?" "that and the luncheon vouchers, yeah" "Nothing" "Got him." "Davie King entered the west building 30 minutes ago." "No sign of him leaving." "You Ready?" "Ready" "I'm an officer of the British security services." "Everybody listen to me." "Evacuate the area." "Now!" "Clear the area!" "Now!" "There is a bomb." "Clear the area." "Leave now." "They're pulling something." "Detonate it" "Their jamming us" "Malcolm?" "Go" "Come to Davie you bag of shite" "Jo he's on the 9th floor" "Got it Malcolm" "Go on crawl, on your knees and crawl back." "Take them both out." "I didn't come here to shoot them." "We're still on the timer and they're not going anywhere" "That was a hell of a risk Harry." "What if he'd gone for a head shot." "How do you feel?" "It only hurts when I breathe" "Don't breathe then" "We've got just over 2 minutes" "You're right, there is a *practice* switch here." "It'll take too long to disable it." "We can't move the car." "Open the door." "Keep your hands to yourself now." "He's moved." "You're clear" "Prise open the lid." "Cut the live wire." "20 seconds no rush" "a bullet in the base of the skull would be quicker." "you can wipe the weasel look off your face Jason." "We don't care about you" "Your just another petty bureaucrat with erectile dysfunction so give him up your boss" "or we will begin to care about you very much very very much indeed" "Harry, it was a matter of" "National Security." "Isn't it always" "I was going to say war and peace." "I prefer crime and punishment." "Iran maintains that Her nuclear program is peaceful" "We know to our cost that the reactionaries are interested in more than domestic power supply, but I've found a way to call their bluff." "If Iran wants a peaceful nuclear program, we'll give it to them." "On a plate." "The plan is for an integral fast rector" "It's a nuclear plant." "A safe nuclear plant." "Bottom line." "These plants cannot be used to produce nuclear weapons." "Nobody has an excuse to bomb Iran." "Nobody has an excuse to invade Iran" "Not if a nuclear program is driven by these reactors" "You ordered our assassination, for this." "We have been tittering on the brink of war" "Thanks to a bomb which you ordered." "And this plan represents our last, best hopes, for an enduring peace." "To make it work we need Bakhshi." "What I am about to show you is highly classified." "but the Home Secretary has authorised me to make a preliminary" "My people, have been maintaining routine surveillance, on several person's of interest." "One of them is a journalist." "Ben Kaplan." "Sequence of events led to this point began with a train bomb in Tehran." "That bomb was detonated by MI5." "But Adam Carter threatened to open his mouth" "He knows some uncomfortable truths" "My wife was a British agent, Mr. Belling" "If the hard liners in Tehran ever learn this, my own loyalty will be called into question." "And I am a dead man." "Bakhshi panicked." "He wouldn't co-operate." "Not while Carter and the rest of you remained a threat to him." "And Yes, I am ashamed to have copitulated but I had no choice" "There was no time to finesse the situation" "Finesse." "The situation" "The Americans will launch their air strikes in hours." "This crisis is about to deepen just as we had the opportunity to end it" "Peace or War, Harry." "Peace or War." "What was I to do?" "You're right." "It's an excellent proposal." "and should proceed as quickly as possible" "I'll ensure that Bakhshi is mollified, and what needs to be kept secret, is kept secret." "That's very..." "Very what?" "I have a duty to this country, which supersedes, any and all other considerations, and that includes any repugnance that I may feel towards you, Home Secretary." "Love your enemies, Nicolas, in case your friends turn out to be bastards." "Today you and I may part as friends but if ever I have cause to learn that we are no longer friends, then you will have cause to learn exactly what kind of bastard I can be." "Do I make myself clear?" "Leave it sir, nobody's coming" "Then I suppose that you will have do you, what you came here to do." "Jo, can you leave us for a moment please." "I know what you were trying to do Dariush" "I know why." "I understand." "Ana's pregnant" "A good friend told me." "someone I lost someone I love" "And the child is yours mine" "who knows sometime in the future, you could be with them" "It's impossible." "Not while you know that." "Go home Dariush negotiate for our two countries" "and I'll do everything I can to protect you" "because there's a chance, however small that Ana's baby's mine" "That child keeps you safe from any ill I might wish you" "Exposing Ana, exposing you" "That exposes the child to danger" "I can never allow that" "He agreed" "Of course he agreed and the baby?"
