:13:02
Ah! Preston.
:13:06
Come and sit down.
:13:16
Preston, I have told the Committee
that I did not authorise
:13:19
your action last night.
:13:21
I have also told them
you have needlessly alerted Berenson
:13:24
to our investigations by
recklessly blowing up his safe!
:13:27
Presumably you have some explanation
for the decision, Preston?
:13:30
Well, we've got Berenson.
:13:32
What we need now is the name
of his controller.
:13:34
If Berenson believes
it was only a burglary
:13:37
he won't be afraid to contact him.
:13:42
But that still doesn't explain why
you didn't ask for my authorisation.
:13:46
You wouldn't have given it.
:13:48
That will be all, Preston.
:13:49
Berenson's away, I take it?
:13:52
He's at a house party in Yorkshire.
With his wife.
:13:55
Yes, but, er, tomorrow is Saturday,
Sir Anthony
:13:58
we don't expect him back until Monday
we will pick him up then.
:14:01
But do you go along with that, Preston?
:14:07
He has a girlfriend.
:14:09
I'm sorry what's that got to do with it
:14:12
Quite.
:14:14
I wouldn't be surprised if he found
an excuse to leave the wife
:14:17
in Yorkshire come back early,
and start the New Year with a bang.
:14:24
I see.
:14:27
What do you want, Preston?
:14:29
Round the clock surveillance.
:14:31
Three teams of watchers.
:14:32
Phone tap. Mail intercept.
:14:33
Everything, immediately.
:14:35
Twenty four men round the clock
for an indefinite period!?
:14:38
That would mean wrecking at least three
of our current operations.
:14:41
Brian, I'm sure you'll agree that
this Berenson business
:14:44
is of overriding importance.
:14:45
Yes, of course, Sir Anthony.
:14:48
Alright, Preston, you've got it.
:14:51
Gentlemen,
I suggest we reconvene after lunch.
