Hm, yeah, Gonzo style, he knows his shit. |
That's tough. |
"Fruition to be transmitted in four." What does... |
Just focus on the visuals, |
different face mapped onto a live performer. |
According to those stipulations. |
Fringe is a possibility... |
Deadline's at four, we need to know if it's workable by two. |
Can't happen. |
It has to. |
Our Embeds have ruled out the major players. |
It's not AQ, not IRA, this is what's left, |
radicals, hate groups, |
people who threaten yourself or the royals. |
They're being pulled in even as we speak. |
And more than questioning I hope. |
Somebody knows something. |
(news reader) If we all do it more |
then there'll be less waste overall |
lying around whenever the bin men... |
Is it still not on the telly? |
Nothing, must be a hoax. |
Or a black-out. |
Oh! Heads up. |
Some major breaking news here now on UKN, |
in the last few minutes |
it's been confirmed that Susannah, Duchess of Beaumont, |
has been kidnapped. |
A video uploaded anonymously |
to the Internet, appears to depict the princess |
pleading for her life. |
The video also contains a bizarre ransom demand |
of a personal nature involving the Prime Minister. |
This is followed by a detailed list of instructions |
relating to the enactment of this demand. |
As police round up potential suspects... |
Good morning. |
...this UKN news viewer video shows armed officers |
raiding an address in Bradford, |
a man thought to be connected with a religious pressure group |
can be seen being dragged to a waiting van. |
Details regarding the... |
If it's terrorists, they'll take her head off. |
Fuck's sake, man. |
Just saying. |
They'll be asking for a million quid or something. |
They want him to do it with a pig. |
Telegraph has the whole video |
and an interactive time line, Tonilee Stark, |
brief mention of the ransom being a sex act, |
nothing too gross. |
The Sun runs with "Taken, Big Brother Susannah" the... |
Of course I still want that drink. |
(Malaika) Well then give me something. |
It's not... that won't be possible. |
I'm friendly when I drink, very friendly when I'm grateful. |
There's no comment at this time. |

The Guardian are running a fucking live blog, |
and a short think piece on the historical symbolism of the pig. |
(phone beep) |
(Newsreader) ...4pm deadline now only five hours away, |
UKN's Damon Brown analyses the public reaction to the crisis. |
(Damon) It's a day like no other. |
The kidnapped video has now been watched |
by over 18 million people. |
The social networking sites are abuzz |
with an estimated 10,000 tweets per minute. |
So while we wait for Downing Street |
to make a formal response, |
there's no doubt that the nation is voicing its opinion. |
I don't think anyone should concede to |
any sort of humiliation under that kind of threat. |
I couldn't bare to see that and watch that. |
I won't personally be tuning in, |
I mean just thinking about it, it's horrible. |
(woman) That's disgusting, |
it is disgusting if you think about it. |
(man) It's going to be disgusting, |
but after that, he's going to be a hero. |
(woman) People abroad will look at him |
like he is totally insane, and maybe take his position away. |
(woman) It would be absolutely hilarious to see that on TV. |
(man) Nothing too abnormal for Prime Ministers and MPs, |
they're all deviant, sexual deviants, |
all MPs and Prime Ministers. |
We've been squeezing hard, but still nothing concrete. |
It is my house, you cannot stop me |
while you're standing in my doorway. |
You are touching my door handle. |
Can I have a word? |
It won't come to that. |
And if they don't find her? |
Mi5 have got a name. They're surrounding the place now. |
Where? |
What? |
Where's the place? |
- Truro. - Why are you lying? |
What? |
