I feel like those kind of loose ends don't happen in intelligence anymore. Like, oh, this woman who you tried to recruit as a spy is just out there with this information. I read why. Why?

So where were we? OK, so he was in trouble. He couldn't deny, you know, what was going on any longer. His buddy, Nicholas Elliott, was was pretty upset. Obviously, he volunteered to go to Beirut and get a confession out of Philby. And he tried to deny it to him still. But Elliott was he was super upset at this point. And he was like, you're my friend. You know, pulled a charade over my eyes.

The charade over my eyes. The wool, the woolly blanket has been pulled over my eyes, old boy. And he was ticked off. And finally, he was like, hey, listen, give me a full confession. I can make sure you're not prosecuted for this.

Philby knew that like even if that happened, he wouldn't be like a free man like the MI6 was all of a sudden going to put the thumb screws on him to try and get all the information he ever had about the Soviets. Right. The Soviets were probably going to try and snuff him out.

Right. Well, hopefully. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, and he may have because just to let him quietly leave was a lot less embarrassing for England than to put him on trial and to go through this big public spectacle where all these people are trotted out and asked, like, how did this guy get away with this for so long under your watch? Right.
