All language subtitles for Backwaters (2006)

Ah.

Taylor?

Hi. I'm such a huge fan. I watch you so
every day. Oh, of course.

I'm sorry. I don't seem to have a pen.

Here, have mine.

What do you think Freud would say about
this pen?

Nothing. You haven't had a dozen pounds
already.

That is fabulous.

Thank you. No, thank you. Without you,
I'd be out of a job, wouldn't I?

That was nice.

Please. Five years from now, there'll be
a part of you additionally to put me out

of work.

We're very late.

Oh, good evening, madam. Good evening,
sir. May I take a look at this?

Hey, it's about time.

Sorry we're late.

You missed the screening.

Send us the tape.

Ha, ha, ha, bitch.

Ha, ha, ha, brat.

Lovely.

Okay.

Shirley!

Glad you could make it.

Whoa, are those new? Of course, darling.

Ah, Mr. Rice.

Merry Christmas.

William Harris, victory agent.

Oh, Merry Christmas. This is Shirley...
Fairman, hello.

She's a fascinating new writer. So
enjoy.

I've got a couple of nice projects in
development.

Really? You must show them to me
sometime.

Thank you.

I think it's a kind of political Romeo
and Juliet, you know?

Absolutely. I see that.

Do you think it's a story that hasn't
been done before?

Except that Romeo and Juliet and West
Side Story.

And wasn't there an episode of Will and
Grace?

Yeah.

Well.

Andy, dear, be a darling. Fetch us
another drink, would you?

Is there a part in your future for me?

For an actress of your calibre?

Of course.

They say soaps are the breeding ground
for future film stars, you know.

Think Demi Moore, Angelina Jolie... Not
to mention Lily Taylor.

Andrew! William?

Didn't realise you knew my
brother-in-law?

Boy, I don't.

I only just met him today.

Quite a nice bloke.

For a yank.

That's what he keeps telling me.

They want the advance back, Andrew.

What?

Why?

It's been a year.

A whole year.

And no book.

Not even an outline.

There is a book.

It's just not done yet.

Andrew.

Look, I'll get you some pages at the
weekend. I promise.

Andrew.

If anything's wrong, you will let me
know, won't you?

What could be wrong, huh?

So, bro, what's the dealio, huh?

For God's sake, Jason.

You've lived here for five years. You'd
think you could speak the Queen's

English by now.

Well, I just prefer the language of my
people, you know what I'm saying, bro?

Come on, you seem a little down,
depressed, antisocial.

Well, I was going to say party pooper,
but we'll go with yours.

Come on.

Take a drink.

Chill out.

This is just a shot in the dark, but I'm
guessing you're having trouble finishing

the second book, right?

Yeah. Come on, Andy.

Everyone gets blocked now and again.

How long has it been?

A whole year.

How many pages?

Oh, shoot.

And now the publisher wants the advance
back.

So give it to him. I don't have it.

Don't worry, my sister's loaded.

So she keeps reminding me.

I'd like to help you, bro.

But unfortunately, my illustrious father
saw fit to leave the entire family

fortune to my oh-so-sensible stepsister.

I wouldn't take it if you could.

But I appreciate the offer.

You know, you're not such a bad bloke
for a yank.

That's what I keep telling everyone.

The loo.

Upstairs, love. At the end of the hall.

Get your own room.

Alright.

You okay to drive?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I've only had the
one.

Andy, about the book.

Don't worry, man. It'll come.

Inspiration comes from the strangest
places.

Drive safe.

Sometimes I wish I could start over.

Page one, rewrite.

But it's different with your life.

Andy!

Yes,

love? I need more water.

Right, sure.

Let's imagine a lipstick.

One that blossoms with color.

And shines with light and moisture.

Let's imagine a lipstick that lasts into
the night.

I was really something, wasn't I?

You still are.

What time is it?

Almost time for your appointment with
Dr. Grant.

Lovely.

More poking and prodding.

I can remember a time I might have quite
liked being poked by a handsome young

doctor.

Of course, things have changed a little
since then.

Someone is that?

Maybe six, maybe twelve. Who can keep
track anymore?

Maybe you should cut down a little.

Maybe you should fuck off down the pub
and get pissed again.

Maybe this time you can take out a
buckload of children.

I said I was sorry. Oh, well, that's all
better then, isn't it?

Lie nice and straight there.

That's right.

Keep very careful.

There still doesn't seem to be any
underlying damage to the spine that I

see.

That's good, isn't it? It should be.

I must be honest with you, Miss Taylor.
I'm at a bit of a loss.

As far as I can tell, there's no real
physical reason why you shouldn't at

least be able to move your lower
extremities.

You think I'm faking it?

No. I didn't say that.

Obviously there's a problem, I just
don't think it's physical.

What do you mean?

A problem may be psychosomatic.

It's the human body's reaction to shock,
resulting in psychologically induced

paralysis. I'm not going to see a bloody
shrink.

Is there anything else we can do?

Will you consider alternative medicine?

I'm not trying any voodoo shit.

Say one thing for you, Inglis.

You know how to brew a beer.

In this is Irish, you twat.

Oh, excuse me.

Everything okay at home?

Can we talk about something else,
please?

Come on, it could be worse.

How exactly?

Well, nothing springs to mind
immediately, but... Look, if this is

your idea of a pep talk, I suggest you
quit while you're ahead.

Andy, I've always loved you like a
brother-in-law. I am your brother-in

-law. Well, that'll be why.

But I think I've found something that'll
help you both.

Kerala. It's Kerala. It's in India.

You want us to go on vacation?

Oh!

Wanker!

Look, no offence, mate, but a vacation's
the last thing I can afford right now.

Not a vacation.

In my documentary, which you politely
missed, there's a whole section on

Ayurveda treatment centers.

They use herbal massage oils, all
natural stuff.

It's herbal, and it sounds suspiciously
like what you Americans call quack

therapy. That's what I thought, but I've
seen people, sick people, polio victims,

get up and walk out of there like they
weren't disabled at all.

Now, you said yourself that the doctor
would suggest a conservative medicine.

She'll never go for it. Then persuade
her.

How? You know how much she likes
attention?

Her folk's playing in India. She's a
star there.

Well, it would be great for her ego.

And it would be good for you, too.

Get those creative juices flowing again.

How long are you going to stay here?

Three or four weeks.

Hey.

Yes, sir.

Is there something wrong? No, no, no.

Lily Taylor, from the power and the
passion.

Welcome to Kerala. Oh, thank you very
much.

I'm Bashir. Bashir Ahmed.

Welcome.

Please, for me.

My brother-in-law told me all about you.

This way, please. Okay.

Sir Bashir, how do you know Jake?

I was his local handler for the
documentary he filmed here.

Handler? Well, if he needed supplies, I
negotiated a deal.

Find a certain location.

I provided a guide.

In other words... You handled
everything.

Exactly.

I also have a video post-production
house. It's the only one here in the

backwaters. Is that what you call this
place?

The backwaters? Yes.

It refers to the lakes and canals that
flow south from Cochin.

Hundreds of small villages on its back.
Home to thousands of my people.

It's beautiful, isn't it, honey?

Honey?

Thank you, Bashir. It's all right.

Come, you'll find the resort has made
everything ready for your stay. Please.

The rooms are on the right.

The boat staff are here for your
service. The captain, the butler, and

the cleaner.

Ah, there's no phone aboard.

But your brother-in-law asked that I
provide this.

I'm on call 24 hours a day. My number is
stored in the memory.

You've been a great help this year.

Don't know how to thank you.

It's the least I could do.

Mr. Jason took good care of us when we
were here.

You must be jet-lagged.

Tomorrow we'll go to the Ayurveda center
to begin the treatment.

Don't worry, ma'am.

We'll have you on your feet very soon.

I'll believe it when I see it.

The herbal remedies we employ here at
the center have been in practice for

hundreds of years.

The Panchakarma treatment is a holistic
science known to rejuvenate the mind,

body and spirit.

To the proper regimen, the result can be
nothing, sort of miraculous.

Yes, come madam, please.

We are very happy to have...

Such an honored celebrity as yourself.

Join us here, at the center.

Madam, you can begin today itself, if
you want.

Andy, I can't come here.

But, honey, you need your therapy.

We've tried everything else, and Bashir
says these people are the best.

Madam, we have full contingent of
licensed masseuses on staff.

Yes, I know, but... Perhaps...

Another arrangement would be more
suitable.

Say, private sessions on your houseboat.

Now that's more like it.

What's this about?

I've no idea.

Greetings. Hello, sir.

Officer. If this is about those speeding
tickets, I can explain.

Sorry? Me too. Bad joke.

I'm Suresh Mannan, head of police.

Hi, I'm Andy Becker.

And this is my wife, Lily.

Of course.

Hi. The hotel has requested us to make
security arrangements for the function

in your honor.

What function?

Oh, I forgot.

I was just about to tell you.

It's an invitation.

To be guest of honor at tomorrow night's
performance by the Kathakali Dance

Troupe at the hotel.

The word is out that you're here.

It's going to be a media circus.

Well, I'm sure you'll handle them.

Of course.

Right, we need to find something to
wear.

Abhirami.

Suresh.

I am at the end. Do you hear me?

At the end of my patient.

Abhirami. Do not Abhirami me.

Not today.

Do you know what she got on her last
exam?

B minor.

That is one step above a sea.

Lakshmi.

Daddy.

Did you meet her?

You did, didn't you?

Wasn't she funny, smart and wonderful,
just like on TV?

She... Be mine.

It's just math, Daddy.

It's not like it's anything important.

Oh, math is... Math is extremely
important.

Chaya.

Without it, there would be no
scientists, no engineers, no doctors.

But I don't want to be a doctor. I want
to be an entertainment correspondent.

A what? A correspondent for
Entertainment Tonight.

That way I can go to America and meet
all my favorite stars and get paid lots

of money.

It's perfect.

Lily is going to be at a performance
tomorrow night, right?

Can I go?

Not unless your mother suddenly loses
grip of her faculties.

Tell you what.

You promise to study hard and get that
math grade up, and I'll bring you an

autograph.

Deal. Deal.

So, how goes the great English novel?

I'm trying, but it's no use.

Want to be useful?

drink would you doll don't you think
you've had enough for one day i think i

can handle my drink unlike some people
can we ever have a conversation without

you not while i'm in this fucking
wheelchair morning

i hope i am not interrupting i am rajan
nair from ayurveda center

right hi i'm andy And this is my wife,
Lily. She needs no introduction, I

assure you.

Very pleased to meet you, Miss Taylor.

Please, it's Lily.

I'll

set

it.

Andy, I need some privacy. Tell the
staff to take the afternoon off.

I think I'll go for a walk.

Try not to get lost, will you?

I hate to have to go home without you.

Huh?

Is someone there?

No, everything seems fine, I guess.

Her treatment's begun.

How is she?

Her usual self.

Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh, I ran into your agent.

Apparently you neglected to tell him
that you were leaving the country.

Yeah, must have slipped my mind.

Yeah, sure.

Come on, Andy, let's go. Bashir is here.
Who are you talking to?

Jason.

Hey, Brett.

Hey, bitch.

Lovely.

Look, mate, gotta go.

I'll speak to you next week, okay?

Peace.

That's all

That was Mohini Atul, the dance of the
celestial enchantress.

Performing it was Sarah Verghese.

Let's give her another round of
applause.

We have a lot of media colleagues here
with us, eager to meet our guests of

honor. I now invite Miss Lily Taylor on
stage.

Hello, madam.

Madam, this is my wife, Kamala.

A big fan of yours. Ah, lucky girl.

She gets a professional back rub
whenever she wants.

Well, move back, everybody.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Would you mind, please?

Oh, God.

That is old. Where did you find this?

Uh, from a fan site on internet. My
daughter did.

Ah. Who should I make it out? To my
daughter.

Lakshmi Menon.

Uh. L-A-S-M-I.

Miss Taylor.

Lily. How do you like Kerala?

It's God's own country.

Are you still working on the power and
the passion?

Well, I would, if they'd rewrite my part
in a wheelchair.

I must admit, I had no clue the show was
quite so popular halfway around the

world. Have you considered Bollywood?
Oh, I don't sing.

And as you can see, I can no longer
dance.

How did the accident happen?

I don't really know. I was asleep.

The one who can answer that question is
my husband. He was the one behind the

wheel. Step forward, Andy. Tell them
what happened.

We would like to thank you for coming
here, for your treatment.

Oh, no.

Don't thank me.

Thank Andy. If it wasn't for him, I
wouldn't be here, stuck in this

wheelchair looking for miracles.

Come on, Andy. Take a bow.

At least one of us can.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, that'll
be all for tonight.

Please clear the area.

Please. You didn't have to embarrass me
in front of the fucking press. Oh, it's

not like I said anything that wasn't
true, Andy.

Yes, I was driving the fucking car.

Are you going to hold it over my head
for the rest of my life?

Jesus Christ, Andy, it was an accident.

If I could go back and change it, don't
you think I would?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm
sorry.

I fucked up, I admit it.

How many times do you want me to say it?

Until it doesn't hurt anymore.

Reverie. Sorry, what?

That's what the painting is called.

Oh, I see.

This is a famous 19th century painting
by Raja Ravi Varma, who always drew his

own facial features on his female
subjects.

Some people say he did it to show his
feminine side in everything he drew.

Personally, I think he just liked
putting a little of himself in every

woman he painted.

I guess that's one way of looking at it.

Where's your wife?

At home.

I mean, on the boat.

Having her therapy.

Oh.

So, uh, do you come here often?

Oh, God, that sounds like such a line.

No, you sounded very sincere.

And the answer is yes, I come here as
often as I can.

My name's Andrew. Andrew.

My name's...

You were fantastic last night.

Thank you.

I'm trying to learn a little bit more
about your country.

The art, the culture.

It's all so fascinating.

You live in London?

Leicester. It's near London.

It's nice, but nothing like this.

This place has a soul all on its own.

God's own country.

Attention all visitors, the museum is
closing in five minutes.

I was going to get a cup of tea, but I
don't suppose... What about your wife?

She hates tea.

This is amazing, what is it?

Perhaps it's better you don't know.

No, I'm just kidding. It's steamed rice
cakes with coconut chutney. It's called

idli.

Now that's just mean.

I was brought up in an orphanage. An
orphanage?

That must have been hard.

Not as bad as you think.

There were dance classes for the girls
organized by an NGO.

Those lessons changed my life. I don't
know what I'd be doing now if I...

Don't.

No parents, no family.

Can't have been easy.

We all have our hardships in life. It's
how we face them that makes us who we

are. You sound like a fortune cookie.

Are you making fun of me?

Me?

Never. Now that's just mean.

Where the hell have you been all day?

I'm for a walk.

Where to? The Americas? You've been gone
ages.

I needed to get out for a while. Jesus,
what's with the interrogation?

Calm down.

I was just curious.

Take a look at this.

Buckle me.

Give me time.

Hi, Daddy.

Have a seat. It's just getting good.

Charlie, we've spoken about this.

Your mother does not wish you to watch
TV.

Who's getting arrested?

Kelly Brock's boyfriend.

What did he do?

He killed Kelly Brock and almost got
away with it, too.

How?

He had her killed and made it look like
an accident.

Lakshmi, as I was saying, you should
really be concentrating on your studies

instead of... But, Dad, he was after the
insurance money to pay off his gambling

debt. What debt?

I love this weather.

Never see the bloody sun in England.

We should trade places. I would love to
see snow.

Are you hungry?

Yeah.

Madam, I see your legs are getting more
sensitive.

Tissues will heal gradually as this
soap, this herbal oil.

How long do you think it'll be, Rajan?

Soon, madam.

You'll be up and running.

That'll be the day.

This is my favorite place in the whole
world.

I often come here when I feel like being
alone in my thoughts.

Then I must be intruding.

Not if you are in my thoughts.

God, you're beautiful.

I'm

married.

I know.

Nor am I.

Would you like to have another round?
Oh, I can't.

I have a three o'clock with a client.

Very important, huh?

The TV star, huh?

What did you like?

A bit snooty, but she's all right.

Rajan says the tissues are healing well.

Really?

Rajan says I'll soon be up and running.

That's great, honey.

Sweetheart, would you mind putting me
out on the deck?

No. Not at all.

What's wrong?

Are you serious?

Six months, Lil.

Six months and you won't touch me. Tell
me how the sight of me makes you sick.

And now, just because you've got a
little tingle below the waist, I'm

supposed to jump back into the saddle
like none of that ever happened? Shh,

keep your voice down.

Why?

You never miss an opportunity to
humiliate me in front of anybody.

Oh, but wait, you probably don't
remember that because you're normally so

bleeding smashed out of your mind.

Hello? Yeah, I know it.

Um, okay.

See you there in half an hour.

Oh.

That explains the new pair of balls
you've grown lately.

So, who is she?

Some local village girl that you swept
off her feet with promises of a better

life back home?

You really are pathetic.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Sure you don't.

Yeah, go on, go.

Go off to your little brown whore.

Just remember, who pays your bills
around here?

Why?

He was angry. This is not the first
time.

He knows about me.

Someone saw us together.

Eventually the story got back to him.

Where is he now?

He's out to sea. He's a fisherman.

How long has this been going on?

Soon after my marriage.

Five months ago he came to my orphanage.

And asked the matron for my hand.

Said he had seen me dance.

It felt so good in that moment to
believe that someone wanted me.

An outcast, an orphan.

I wish he was like you.

Come on, I know you're mad, but we need
to talk.

Have you seen Lily?

Of course.

She's right in front of me.

On the monitor.

I'm editing the footage from the press
conference.

There's no time to be funny.

She's missing from the boat.

How?

Mr. Andy is here.

He would like to speak to you.

Talk.

Hello, Rajan. When did you last see my
wife?

This afternoon, as usual.

Why do you ask?

How was her progress?

Can she walk now?

No, sir. Not yet, but she is showing
significant improvement.

When you left her, did she say anything
to you?

No, sir.

Why?

Is something wrong?

She's missing.

Mr. Becker, please do not mind my
asking.

But it is a procedure to inquire in such
cases.

Did you and your wife have a
disagreement or a fight?

Something that might make her run away?

Officer, she was in a wheelchair.

She couldn't run away.

Yes, of course.

I'm really worried about her. I need
your help.

Legally, Mr. Becker, in the case of
missing adults, we are supposed to wait

for 24 hours.

But in this case, we will start the
search first thing in the morning.

And hopefully, by then, you may have
heard from her.

Thank you. We'll do our best.

Good evening.

Is Thomas in?

No, he left this morning on his fishing
boat.

When will he be back?

Perhaps tomorrow.

When he gets back, tell him to call
Rajan.

It's urgent.

Sir, dinner.

Oh, thank you.

I'm not really hungry.

Hello. Just a minute.

Dresha.

Phone on.

Hello.

Okay.

I'll be there.

Sudhakar. Yes, sir. I want photographs
from each and every angle. Okay, sir.

Doctor. Yes, sir. How much time for your
report? 24 hours, sir. When am I going

to be able to get my fish out of the
net?

We have to take the catch to the market
right away.

This entire area is now crime scene.

Nobody can touch anything until we
finish our investigation.

What is her name?

Thomas Vargas.

Constable, take his statement. Yes, sir.

Stop.

Maybe she tried to get up and walk and
fell off the boat.

She could have drowned.

No way.

Lily was an excellent swimmer. Even
without her legs, she could have paddled

to shore.

Not if she wasn't fully in her senses.

Mr. Becker, please don't mind my asking.

Was she drinking that afternoon?

Officer, she drank every afternoon.

It was her way of dealing with her pain.

I'm so sorry, Mr. Becker.

Here's the receipt for the jewelry.

I'll report anything that I find.

I'll call you to take them.

I'll be on the next available flight.

Hang in there, bro.

No water in her lungs.

What does that mean?

It means she did not fall off the boat.

She was dead before she hit the water.

Dead by strangulation.

Who would want to kill her?

Robbery is the most obvious motive.

But since her jewelry was found
untouched and there wasn't any money

missing, we have to rule that out.

Then what could it be?

Do you watch TV, Mr. Becker?

If you want to find the killer, look for
whoever had the most to gain.

You have an insurance policy on your
wife, right?

What are you implying, officer?

A large insurance settlement?

Sounds like a good motive to me.

You're sick.

I would never hurt my wife.

Not for any amount of money. Sure, we
had our problems. With what we've been

through, who wouldn't? But I didn't kill
her.

Mr. Becker, where were you between 3 and
5 p.m.? I went for a

walk.

Can somebody confirm that?

No, I wanted to be alone.

That is not much of an alibi, Mr.
Becker.

Well, had I known I'd need one, I would
have invited a few friends.

Convince me, then, that you went for a
walk.

Walk where?

Did you stop and buy something?

Talk to someone?

Give me something, man.

Otherwise, you'll leave me no option but
to put you in a cell right this minute.

I was with someone.

A woman?

Yes.

Sarah, the dancer from the hotel the
other night.

She can confirm we were together.

For your sake, Mr. Becker.

Aren't you the fisherman who pulled the
body from the water?

What body?

You're Sarah.

That's right.

Sarah Vergas, my wife.

Can I come in?

Mrs. Vergas, your husband caught Miss
Lily Taylor's body in his fishing net.

You never told me.

Mrs. Vergas, perhaps it would be better.

If I spoke to your wife alone.

Anything you want to say to her, you can
say to me.

All right.

Mrs. Vargas, do you know Mr. Andy
Becker?

I have seen him.

Did you see him day before yesterday?

No.

The only time I saw him was at my dance
performance.

Is that so?

Yes.

Oh, by the way, your dance performance
was wonderful.

Mr. Becker, did you kill your wife?

Why did you kill her? I didn't. I'm
innocent.

Will Mr.

Becker be charged with murder?

We are still investigating the case.

He's a British citizen.

Will Cotland Yard be involved?

We have their full cooperation.

Although this case is completely under
Indian jurisdiction.

Spider husband of famous star Lily
Taylor of The Power and the Passion was

arrested today on suspicion of murder.

This is what he had to say.

Why did you kill her?

I didn't. I'm innocent.

This is Antara Bhardwaj reporting from
Ellope for CITV.

Who would have thought he would turn out
to be a killer?

Great to see you. How are you? Good,
man. I'm good. Shall I? No, no, no.

You're fine. How was your journey?

It was long. It was long, but good.

Look, I'm really sorry about Miss Haley.

Where's Annie?

They have, uh, liberated her.

In the last few years, giant strides in
telecommunication technology has truly

made the world a global village.

Great. So you brought me in here to
discuss advances in telecommunications.

Even though you're a small town in
backwaters, but we are quite well

connected with the rest of the world.

And what exactly is your point?

My point, Mr. Baker, is your publisher
wants his advance back.

His lawyers are threatening to sue.

I bet five million pounds of insurance
money would come in handy.

Look, you've got to believe me. I didn't
kill my wife. I was with Sarah at the

time of the murder. She only denied it
because her husband was there.

I suppose for a moment that you are
telling the truth.

What is to say that you did not hire?

What, you see that on TV too?

It's absurd.

I'll be back.

Can I help you?

Hello,

I'm Suresh Mannan.

Sorry about your sister. Thank you.

Please come.

Welcome, Condor.

Come in, please.

Um, am I to understand that you have my
brother-in-law in custody?

He's being held for questioning.

On what charge? He can't have killed my
sister.

No charge.

He's only a suspect.

Andy is a British citizen.

You can't just hold him without...
Actually, I can.

A crime was committed on Indian soil.

Your brother-in-law is a suspect and I
can hold him for two days without any

charge. This is crazy.

Do not presume to come to my country and
tell me what I can or cannot do.

Fine.

I'll speak to the British consulate.

Please, be my guest.

In the meantime, I'd like to claim back
the body of my sister.

Sure.

Constable, body release form.

It's a procedure you'll have to find
some document Will

have the funeral here me and Andy were

her only living relative to none.

She didn't have many friends back home

help With the funeral arrangements?

No, thank you, sir. Bashir is taking
care of all of them.

Mr.

Jason, I can release Mr. Beckett to your
custody, but he will have to surrender

his passport.

Thank you.

Don't thank me yet.

If he disappears, it's you I will be
looking for.

I can't tell you how glad I am to see
you, Jay.

Almighty God, who through the death and
the resurrection of your Son has given

us life, grant us all your grace to live
according to your will and to eternal

rest. May God help you in your heavenly
Jerusalem with the saints and the just,

with your discussion and your holy life.

the God abide in you and guide you to

eternal life forever and ever.

Amen. Amen.

Amen.

Thank you, Bashir.

Thank you.

I'm so very sorry, Mr. Beggar.

Thank you.

I was afraid to lose my job.

There is something you must know.

Please meet me tonight at 8, Alapooza
Beach.

Come alone.

Wait there.

What's wrong, Daddy?

Nothing, darling.

Daddy just had a long day.

How was yours?

I read Lily's obituary on her fan site.

That's all she does.

Surf the net or watch TV.

Did you know that Lily Taylor was only a
stage name? She was born Veronica Wise

to a very wealthy father.

He left her mother when Lily was five.

She grew up dealing with poverty,
drinking, domestic abuse and her

mother's suicide.

Considering all that, she didn't do too
badly for herself.

Yeah.

A child should not be reading all this
kind of stuff.

Suresh, do as I say.

She's right.

Her father married an American woman.
She has a step-brother named Jason.

Step-brother?

Yeah. She made up with her father just
before he passed away two years ago.

Good job, Lakshmi.

Someday you will make a great
entertainment correspondent.

Oh, my God.

I don't understand.

What are you trying to say?

When I got to the beach, Rajan had his
throat slit.

He died in my arms. I told you not to go
there on your own.

Well, what shall I do?

Go to the police?

Great idea, Andy.

Jenny!

Why charge you for one murder, huh? When
they can charge you for two.

But I didn't kill him. Oh, you think
that policeman's going to believe you?

Man, he's just looking for an excuse to
put you away.

Christ, Christ.

Shit, shit.

Someone's trying to set me up, Jake.
We're leaving this country.

Tonight. Get that shirt off.

But the police have my passport.

Did anyone see you at the beach?

No, I don't think so.

Then you were never there.

Look, the nearest British consulate is
in Chennai.

I'll go there and get help.

Meanwhile... Nobody needs to know that
you had a meeting with Rajan, okay?

Thanks, Jay.

Go back to the boat.

Lay low and wait for me to call.

Come on.

You're going to be fine.

Calm down, sister.

Please.

Calm down. Please.

Rajan would not hurt a fly.

Why would anyone want to kill him?

Why? Please.

Relax.

Your husband was the last one to see
Miss Taylor.

He knew something about her death.

No, he wasn't.

Wasn't what?

The last one to see her.

I had been upset with him for spending
so much time at work lately.

He said he found someone to replace him
that afternoon.

So he could surprise me.

Do you know who substituted for him?

He never said.

Did any one of you see the messier on
the day of the murder?

Madam had already dismissed us. I saw
him.

I was the last one to leave.

Good afternoon, madam.

I am from the Ayurveda center,
substituting for Rajan. Where is he?

He had a family emergency.

Madam, will you be needing anything
else?

No, thank you. I'll see you late this
evening.

Do you know who he was?

Never seen him before.

I know you must hate me now, but I had
to see you.

They think I killed her.

I know.

You know I'm innocent.

Yes. Well, you have to tell the truth,
Sarah.

I can't. This is my life.

And mine. If I tell, he will kill me.
That's crazy. He's not going to kill

you. You don't know him. You don't know
what he's capable of. The things he's

done.

He used me.

I don't understand.

Was it all just an act?

At first.

But I really did fall in love with you.
You have to believe me. I don't know

what to believe anymore.

Who's trying to frame me? I don't know.

Tell me!

This was a mistake. I have to go.

You went to meet him, didn't you?

You killed his wife and you used me to
frame him?

You bitch!

I didn't ask you to fuck him.

Rajan's throat was slit by Anurmi's
sword.

And only a trained martial artist could
do that.

So you think I hired this martial artist
to substitute for Rajan and murder Lily?

Right.

When Rajan threatened to spill the
beans, you got him killed.

That's pretty fucking far-fetched. Yeah,
it makes good sense.

How could I set up something so
elaborate?

I've never even been to India.

The only reason we came here was because
of Jason's bloody documentary.

What documentary?

Never.

Rewind, rewind.

Stop.

Isn't it curious?

This man who featured in your
brother-in-law's documentary happens to

be the one who found your wife's body
and turned out to be your lover's

husband.

When was this documentary shot?

It has been almost two years.

But Mr.

Jason visited again a few months ago to
meet Thomas.

It's Jason.

Where is he now?

He said he was going to get me help from
the consulate in Chennai.

It's about time we paid Thomas a visit.

It seems that we are too late. Damn it.

They've probably flown away by now.

That's what police is on alert at all
the checkpoints.

I had a hunch about Jason.

Yeah?

Well, we've still no fucking idea where
they've gone.

Hey, I'll put up all the check.

Regum!

Sarah?

Hello?

Hello?

How long before we reach Cochin?

He's there before nightfall.

They must be somewhere in the
backwaters.

Let's go.

What are you waiting for?

I'm going after them. One of my men will
take you back to the station.

You have to let me come.

It won't be safe.

They killed my wife.

Okay, maybe I wasn't in love with her
anymore, but she didn't deserve to be

dumped in the river like rubbish.

What if it was your wife?

Okay. Go.

I saw the police report of your
accident.

Your driving license was suspended
because they found traces of

benzodiazepine in your bloodstream.

Benzodiazepine?

It was not an accident.

It was attempted murder.

The strong sedative put you to sleep.

If he had succeeded as the only
surviving next of kin, he'd have

inherited all the money Lily's dad left
for her. It would have been too risky to

try again in England, so he thought in
our remote little village he could get

away with it.

This is Radio 23.

Maynard, sir, come in. Yes.

Lock them. We're right behind you.

Raju, we're going to the market.

We're going to the market.

Stop the alarm.

What the fuck?

Turn it around.

Get it, man!

Okay.

Yes, and why you're under the red

That

old bastard gave her everything just she
was his

blood I got nothing

Andrew, it's William.

Just finished reading the pages.

And I have to tell you, we're all very
excited.

Can't wait to see the rest.

Knew you could do it, old chap.

Never doubted you for a second.

They say life is stranger than fiction.

What happened to me in God's own country
was material enough to fill the pages of

my next mystery novel.

I called it Backwaters.

Are you done yet?

Actually... I'm just getting started.

You comfort me You take my

soul

a sunny day looking for

sunny day.
