Thank you. People used to live movie theaters muttering it was nothing like a book. And most of the time, it wasn't. There was no way of getting all of the novel into 90 minutes of screen time. The television mini series changed all that. Now, the complete novel can be transferred to the screen without the loss of one exciting moment. And last year, you saw some really exciting moments. Without leaving your easy chair, you went back in time to an America torn apart by a brutal war, you travelled over land from Italy to China, and in London, you fought a master spy with the British Secret Service. Your Favorite New Television Mini Series were; The Blue and The Gray--

Captain asked you not to leave behind.

We know you like Jonathan and maybe you got more than was coming to him.

But he done wrong helping them runaways.

Anyway, it's no time. You'd be going up North.

This will be a fight. I can smell it, the wind. Stab 2 shots. You belong here.

When Tom comes to enlist, Mark and I want you with us, three of us side-by-side. Ain't nobody can like us.

I never wear that uniform.

Well, that makes you a traitor, John.

Marco Polo----

We had to use this valley for the North.

Neither your father nor your uncle remembered that.

The Empress Chabi seems to be quite right.

She says you have a clearer memory of the territories who pass through than any travellers she's ever meet.

I remember what interested me.

Are you not comfortable?

I'm not used to kneeling Great Lord.

So, I had noticed.

Smiley's People.

That's the police diagnosis? But our diagnoses would be somewhat different wouldn't it [unk]?

No way.

Well, my Lord.

Let's hear to George.

But one thing, he was on his way here to be your guest.

Self-invited. But another, the weapon used to kill him was a standard Moscow Centre assassination device, a soft nose bullet, fired at pointblank range to obliterate, to punish, and to discourage others.
