1
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:17,790
My good friends,
2
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,310
We are here today
3
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,150
to pay tribute to Colonel Ronald Merrick,
4
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,910
Ronnie, as We came to knoW him
here in Mirat.
5
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,870
Only tWo years after the War
in Which he lost an arm,
6
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,230
We have seen hoW this gallant officer
7
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,190
taught himself to ride again,
8
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,950
leading his detachments
of our oWn States Police,
9
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,060
patient in peacetime
as he had been brave in battle.
10
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,670
We salute that courage,
offering our hearts and prayers
11
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,750
to his young WidoW.
12
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,630
'At Delhi, Mountbatten arrives
to take up his appointment
13
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,150
'as India's Viceroy
and Governor General.
14
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,190
'At a crucial moment in India's history,
15
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,350
'the grandson of Queen Victoria
becomes the 29th and last Viceroy.
16
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,750
'To greet the neW Viceroy
come the Indian leaders.
17
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:23,270
"Nehru, Oxford-educated leader of the
Congress Party, second only to Gandhi.
18
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,630
'With Nehru, Muslim Abdul Azad,
head of the influential Congress Party.
19
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,670
"Leaving Delhi's Viceregal Lodge
is Lord Wavell, outgoing Viceroy.
20
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,950
"To the Governor General's bodyguard,
Field Marshall Wavell bids fareWell.
21
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,190
"During his term of office,
Britain made the decision to leave India.
22
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:45,430
"NoW it is for Indian leaders
to decide the future of their country."
23
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,870
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.
24
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,110
Is the club secretary available?
25
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,390
The secretary's having breakfast.
Can I help?
26
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,430
Could the club offer temporary membership?
27
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,670
I'm in Mirat for a feW days and Wanted
a bed. And perhaps breakfast noW.
28
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,110
- My name is Perron.
- Oh, Cambridge University!
29
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,950
Yes, sir, of course. You travelled
on the night train from Ranpur?
30
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,190
- Been in India long?
- Just over a Week. Bombay mostly.
31
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:55,830
Leave your luggage and take breakfast.
Muzzafir, shoW the sahib to the terrace.
32
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,590
- Thank you.
- Welcome.
33
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,510
Mr Perron? Macpherson, club secretary.
34
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,790
- HoW do you do?
- Please.
35
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,230
- I hope you're being looked after.
- Very Well. Thank you.
36
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,910
- Don't have the fish souffl�, incidentally.
- No, your chap's Warned about that.
37
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,940
Ghulam. Thank God for him, anyway.
Staff's difficult noWadays.
38
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,580
Your train Was tWo hours late.
Gets Worse every year.
39
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,630
- Been out here long?
- About ten days.
40
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,630
- Can you put me up for the night?
- As long as you like.
41
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,740
We get more departures than arrivals.
We charge one month's membership.
42
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:42,630
An old Wartime rule dating from When
officers Were getting posted overnight.
43
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,870
- And forgetting to pay their bills.
- Most of them dead long since, I expect.
44
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,350
- Been out here before?
- A couple of years during the War.
45
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,220
- But this is my first visit to Mirat.
- On business?
46
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,880
I'm a historian.
My interests are academic.
47
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,520
I'm here to study
the transition to independence
48
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,980
and perhaps Write some articles.
49
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,590
Any special reason for choosing Mirat?
50
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,030
- I met the Chief Minister during the War.
- Dmitri BronoWsky?
51
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,390
He kindly invited me to come
Whenever I chose.
52
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,750
He's got a plateful. Things haven't
been too good here this past Week.
53
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,190
We might be back to hoW it Was last year.
Communal rioting.
54
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,110
- It looked quiet this morning.
- In the cantonment, yes.
55
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,150
Across the lake in the city, not so good.
56
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,990
That's Why We don't recommend the
fish souffl�. The fishermen are Muslims.
57
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,750
They've fished the NaWab's lake
since the 18th century
58
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,990
but they haven't dared go out since
a couple of them Were found droWned.
59
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,390
Still, What can you expect?
You draW a line through a country
60
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:51,550
and say, "By August 15th, one side's
Pakistan, the other side's India."
61
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,590
It's a damn sight Worse in the Punjab.
62
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,460
At least Mirat's a princely state
and can decide things for itself.
63
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,110
Excuse me. Do you think the NaWab Will
sign the Accession to Congress India?
64
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,870
- Before the 15th?
- Uh-huh.
65
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,670
That's anyone's guess. What is it?
66
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,510
A car from the palace for Mr Perron
and this letter, sir, from Mr RoWan.
67
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,630
- What?
- You knoW the AAGG as Well, do you?
68
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:22,350
Nigel RoWan? He's an old friend of mine.
I didn't knoW he Was in Mirat.
69
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,110
Perhaps you Won't need a bed here,
after all.
70
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,830
(Nigel) 'My dear Guy, We'd been planning
to surprise you at the station
71
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,670
'but, as you'll see,
things haven't Worked out.
72
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,270
'Ronald Merrick died here last Week
after a riding accident.
73
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,300
'Lt Was all very sudden and unexpected.
The family Were here for the funeral.
74
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,390
'Susan and her Aunt Fenny
are still at the palace guest house.
75
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,430
'Sarah's here, too, of course,
76
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,790
'and has promised to be at my bungaloW
to Welcome you and settle you in.
77
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,630
'I may be detained at the palace
but I've organised lunch at my place.
78
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,070
'The bungaloW's one of tWo. Mine and
the one that Was Susan's and Ronald's.
79
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,950
'You're Welcome to stay as long
as you Want. See you soon. Nigel.'
80
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:20,630
- Hello, Guy.
- Hello.
81
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,990
I'll shoW you the house.
82
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,020
It's rather Spartan.
Nigel asked me to apologise.
83
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,990
What date do you think?
The bungaloW. 1850?
84
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,700
I don't knoW. Shut up too long, anyway.
85
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,030
Watch out for scorpions.
86
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,270
And I don't Want to alarm you
but there Was a snake.
87
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,630
Nigel said the thing to do if you meet
a snake is to ask it to go in peace.
88
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,100
I Will probably yell the place doWn!
89
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,590
It's nice to see you again, Guy.
You alWays made me laugh.
90
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:19,350
Would you like a coffee?
Then I'll leave you to settle in.
91
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,710
Do you have to leave?
92
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,070
Yes. But I've got time for a coffee.
93
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,270
I've come at rather a bad time, haven't I?
94
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,790
Up until a Week ago, We'd certainly
thought of your arrival differently.
95
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,590
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
96
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,550
HoW differently?
97
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,310
Nigel and I and Ahmed
Were going to meet you at the station.
98
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,350
It Was Dmitri's idea.
He likes surprising people.
99
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,000
I thought you'd just come for the funeral.
100
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,350
No, no, I've been here quite some time.
101
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,390
It Was Susan Who had to come doWn
With Father and Aunt Fenny.
102
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,430
Father Went back this morning.
Fenny saW him off.
103
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,270
He had to get back to Pankot
to hand over command.
104
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,910
- What about your mother?
- Went home last month to house hunt.
105
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,710
To England?
So no retirement to Rose Cottage?
106
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,150
We've rented it to the Smalleys.
107
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,190
They're army but staying on under
contract to the Indian Government.
108
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,790
So, back home for you, too.
109
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,390
I don't knoW about me.
110
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,710
Aunt Fenny and I Went back for a month
or tWo last year, after Uncle Arthur died.
111
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,100
- You never got in touch With me.
- When?
112
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,150
When you Were in England.
113
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,910
And you never ansWered
my second letter.
114
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,070
No. I'm sorry.
115
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,580
That Was a long time ago.
116
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,030
You told me once that you felt that India
Wasn't a place you could be happy in.
117
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,150
Yes, I remember thinking that.
118
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,430
I've been very happy since.
119
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,950
Has Susan been happy?
120
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,070
At the moment, she's in rather a bad Way.
Worse than the family realises.
121
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,670
She's never been stable
since Teddie Was killed.
122
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,700
- Didn't Merrick give her stability?
- He's provided it noW.
123
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,550
You'll see What I mean if she talks to you
about him. She talks about nothing else.
124
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,590
It Was a successful marriage, then?
125
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:32,830
Well, he adored the boy
and the boy adored him.
126
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,070
EdWard doesn't knoW Ronnie's dead,
by the Way.
127
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,350
- Is he here?
- Yes.
128
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,790
Ronnie sent them to Pankot last year
because of the troubles.
129
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,230
He Worked With the States Police
but didn't expect it to last.
130
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,590
Dmitri Was so impressed
by the Way he handled it,
131
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:53,110
he persuaded them to let him stay on
and overhaul the Whole department.
132
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,470
That Was their bungaloW next door,
Wasn't it?
133
00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:58,110
Yes.
134
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,910
I'll have to go back to Pankot With Sue.
Fenny can't cope alone.
135
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,950
- When do you go?
- Thursday, I think.
136
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,270
When did it happen? Nigel Wrote
something about a riding accident.
137
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,310
He Was jumping a ditch.
138
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,510
He seemed all right. A feW days later,
the servant found him dead.
139
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,510
- Was there a post mortem?
- Yes.
140
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,990
I really must go.
Nigel Will be here as soon as he can.
141
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,830
- HoW long has Nigel been in Mirat?
- Oh, about six Weeks.
142
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,070
The Political Department sent him
to sort things out.
143
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,910
Mirat comes under the Resident
at Gopalakand. Things got difficult.
144
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,300
Nigel Will tell you all about it.
145
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,190
I'll be in touch, Guy.
Probably this evening.
146
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,670
- Tippoo?
- Oh, you're in luck. Here's Nigel noW.
147
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,990
- Hello, Guy. I'm only here to pack a case.
- HoW are you?
148
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,110
I'll see to the case. HoW many nights?
149
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,710
TWo at the most. In Gopalakand.
I ought to be back tomorroW evening.
150
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,990
- But Tippoo can do it. Isn't he here?
- Yes.
151
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,750
I'll see he gets it right. Ah, Tippoo...
152
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,140
I really do apologise.
153
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,390
We're in the middle of What
I suppose you'd call a flap.
154
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,150
A couple of States Department people
are at the palace.
155
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,190
Waving the instrument of accession
under the NaWab's nose for signature.
156
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,430
- You knoW about that.
- Is the Resident at Gopalakand
157
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,470
encouraging him not to sign
and stay independent?
158
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:36,350
Fundamentally, that is the problem but
the Resident has no real interest in Mirat.
159
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,140
- What does BronoWsky Want?
- Honourable integration With India.
160
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,230
- And the NaWab?
- I don't think the poor man knoWs.
161
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:50,110
After all these years, he's suddenly
resisting Dmitri's advice.
162
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,550
If I can get a letter from the Resident
163
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:58,390
making it plain that Mirat's on its oWn,
then I think the NaWab Will sign.
164
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,990
- And you Want him to sign?
- Thank you.
165
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,070
Yes... though a feW old hands
in the department
166
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,270
say We're bound by treaty
to defend Mirat -
167
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:15,030
as a princely state - but it's entirely
surrounded by British India territory.
168
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,680
After the 15th, Indian Union territory.
169
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,270
The NaWab can't live in a vacuum.
He has to sign.
170
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,110
It's been a hard tWo years for you,
hasn't it, Nigel?
171
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,590
- I'm sorry about Merrick.
- Yes, it Was rather sudden.
172
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,460
Not that I ever liked the man. Still,
he seems to have made good in Mirat.
173
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:39,990
Yes.
174
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,860
And Harry Coomer, any neWs of him?
175
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,070
We exchanged letters last year.
176
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,190
He's still in Ranpur.
177
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,190
He seems quite content,
coaching students privately.
178
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,030
- A defensive attitude?
- No. No, I don't think so.
179
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,790
I suppose noW things might change.
180
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,830
Hm, Will anything in India
ever really change for him?
181
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,480
Isn't Coomer the permanent loose end?
182
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,550
Too English for the Indians
and too Indian for the English.
183
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,550
That's rather Sarah's vieW.
184
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:23,790
Frankly, I think he's more interested
in being just his oWn kind of Indian.
185
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,950
She's never seen
the transcript of the examination?
186
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,710
God, no. She knoWs nothing about that.
FeW people do except you.
187
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,790
Everything Was destroyed,
except the orders for Kumar's release.
188
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,630
- To protect Merrick's reputation.
- Nobody Wanted a Witch-hunt.
189
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,260
With the INA trials,
it Would've aggravated racial tension,
190
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,510
so Nehru and Wavell put a stop to it.
191
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,110
And Merrick got off scot-free.
192
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,950
Actually, I think it annoyed him.
He felt slighted.
193
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:58,030
Everything Was done very quietly.
MAK's son Sayed Was simply cashiered.
194
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,070
Of the tWo boys, Ahmed's the one
Who's turned out the best.
195
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,700
The INA heroes are history
but Ahmed has a future.
196
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,510
All set.
Tippoo's taking your bag to the car.
197
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,710
That's good of you.
Guy's going to stay on here.
198
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,670
- Good. Do you ride?
- Off and on.
199
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,910
Fortunately more on than off
but it's pure luck.
200
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,540
Perhaps We could go out tomorroW.
I'll ring you later today.
201
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,200
Yes, that'd be fine.
202
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,150
Again!
203
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,750
Oh!
204
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,270
Minnie, you fool!
NoW it's lost, it's gone.
205
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:57,630
- I'll get the ball.
- Aayah, you fool!
206
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,790
- Is this yours?
- Who are you?
207
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,950
Just a visitor. Here's your ball.
208
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,950
I'm EdWard Arthur David Bingham.
209
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,230
My name's Guy. My other name's Perron.
210
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,950
- I shall call you Perron.
- Then I shall have to call you Bingham.
211
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,750
Here you are. Girls can't catch.
212
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:23,470
- Would you like to see my room?
- Yes, very much.
213
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,510
My stepfather can catch.
He only has one arm.
214
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,950
- Can you catch, Perron?
- Uh-huh.
215
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,550
Here's my room but I'm sleeping
at the guest house While Daddy's aWay.
216
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,990
It's a very nice room.
217
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,830
What's this?
218
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,710
Daddy gave it to me.
219
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,790
The JeWel In The CroWn.
That's Queen Victoria.
220
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,750
I knoW.
221
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,990
Receiving tributes
from her grateful Indian subjects.
222
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:19,020
She's dead noW, of course. I should think
they're all dead. It Was a long time ago.
223
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:23,670
- Except the angels.
- No, I think angels never die.
224
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:29,630
It's an allegory. Daddy says Mummy saW
an angel once in a circle of fire.
225
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,150
Perhaps it made her cry.
226
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,190
She cries a lot.
227
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:37,920
Come on, let's see if she's stopped.
228
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,030
(Shrill, hysterical screaming)
229
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,870
Put me doWn! Put me doWn!
230
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,990
- Sorry.
- Don't go aWay altogether, Guy.
231
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,150
I'll be outside in the garden.
232
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,150
Susan's all right noW.
233
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,270
She'd like it if you came in
and had a Word.
234
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:37,350
What upset her?
235
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,000
The Whole afternoon mainly.
236
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,230
She insisted on sorting out
some of Ronald's things.
237
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,670
I had to come
because Fenny's not feeling very bright,
238
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,670
then EdWard insisted on coming, too.
239
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,030
It Was a mistake from the start.
240
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:56,470
Will you come and have dinner
With me tonight at Nigel's?
241
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,710
I'd like to but I'd better not.
242
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,340
Let's go out tomorroW morning.
I'll try and rope Ahmed in.
243
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,870
- Can you be ready early?
- Uh-hm.
244
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,630
Let's go in. The car from the palace
Will be here soon.
245
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,910
I Want to get Susan and EdWard aWay
before the light goes.
246
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:18,430
We met, didn't We? That time in Pankot
after Ronnie and I became engaged.
247
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,070
Yes.
248
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,310
You knoW I've lost him.
My son doesn't knoW.
249
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,310
Why don't you leave it all, Sue?
Khansamar can put it aWay.
250
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,670
We could have a drink outside.
251
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,780
No, I don't Want a drink and I don't Want
Khansamar touching anything.
252
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,830
Then I'll help you start
putting things back.
253
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,830
HoW little there is When you think
of the time a man spends out here.
254
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,670
- Will Daddy have as little as this?
- I don't expect there'll be much more.
255
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:09,910
- You didn't knoW my husband long.
- No, a very short time.
256
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,870
Anyone in Mirat Will tell you
What a fine man he Was.
257
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,190
Please, Sarah, don't put things back.
258
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:23,110
It's all that's left of Ronald except
his ashes, and it's not even all here.
259
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,510
Oh? What's missing?
260
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,430
His arm, for one thing. I mean
the artificial one, Mr Perron, his harness.
261
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,390
We alWays called it his arm.
262
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,630
"Where's my arm?" he used to say.
He took it off every night.
263
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,710
Nobody knoWs the discomfort
he Was in from the chafing.
264
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,750
The first time I saW his poor stump,
I cried.
265
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,350
It Was so inflamed and raW
but he never spared himself.
266
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,510
- What's this, then?
- The one he couldn't Wear, the neW one.
267
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,150
I hope this doesn't embarrass you,
Mr Perron, talking about his arm.
268
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,550
But he never, never Wore it in bed.
269
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,790
I knoW What a relief it Was
to get out of the harness
270
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,550
and What torture it Was
to put it on in the morning.
271
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,380
He Wouldn't have Worn it
While he Was laid up after his accident.
272
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:26,030
It may explain Why it's not here. It might
have been damaged and sent for repair.
273
00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:29,110
Oh, I hadn't thought of that.
274
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:34,140
They Wouldn't put it on to take his body
to the mortuary for the postmortem.
275
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,510
There Was a clot of blood, they said.
276
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,630
I blame Dr Habbibullah,
but Daddy says I shouldn't.
277
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,830
No-one can foresee a clot of blood.
278
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:53,500
Khansamar Would knoW about Ronnie's
harness, Whether it Was damaged!
279
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,550
- We ought not to Worry her over that.
- Why?
280
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,310
When you ask servants things like that,
281
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,750
it sounds as if you think
they've stolen something.
282
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,110
- I'll ask Dr Habbibullah if you really Want.
- Yes, I do!
283
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,230
And What about his other things?
Where are his Pathan clothes?
284
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,510
He Was very fond of his Pathan clothes.
285
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,270
The embroidered Waistcoat
and the sash and the little axe.
286
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:22,750
He probably gave them aWay.
It must be years since he used them.
287
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,390
Oh, no, he Went out in them in Mirat
With one of his spies.
288
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,990
He had to have spies, Mr Perron.
289
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,590
You have to go into the bazaars
and hear What people say.
290
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,350
Ronnie Was prepared to do that.
291
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,710
It Was very dangerous.
That's Why he never told me.
292
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,470
But I found out.
293
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,990
- Shall I tell you hoW?
- Only if you Want to.
294
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,060
I haven't been very Well
for a quite a long time.
295
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:59,100
I can't sleep Without taking something
but the pills don't alWays Work.
296
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,230
And one night...
Ronnie Was Working late.
297
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:09,070
There Was a flap on so he Was sleeping
in another room so as not to disturb me
298
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,150
but still I couldn't sleep.
299
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:17,190
'And that's terrible. You start imagining
all kinds of silly things.
300
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:22,430
'There's this awful temptation to take
enough to make you sleep forever! '
301
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:30,870
'So I decided to go to Ronnie's room
to tell him of this awful temptation I had.
302
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,710
'Because you see, Mr Perron,
303
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,740
'he understood everything about me
Without ever being told.
304
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,750
'Things that no-one else had ever knoWn.
305
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:53,510
'And then I saW the light Was on...
at four o'clock in the morning.
306
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,830
'Lt Was as if he'd stayed aWake
just in case I needed him.
307
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,230
'But When I opened the door... '
308
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:16,470
That's Why I screamed just noW - When
I saW EdWard in his Pathan clothes.
309
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,960
Because you see, Mr Perron,
310
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,190
Ronnie's missing clothes
and his missing arm
311
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,990
are like the dog
that didn't bark in the night.
312
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,670
Sherlock Holmes.
313
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,550
You knoW that story?
314
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,910
My favourite Was The Speckled Band -
because of the snake.
315
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,260
When Aunt Fenny told me last Week
that Ronnie Was dead,
316
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:48,630
I thought first of a snake...
or a scorpion.
317
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,590
- I've alWays been terrified of scorpions.
- I'm afraid of both.
318
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,710
Ronnie Was afraid of nothing.
319
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,670
I depended on him, Mr Perron, you see.
320
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,710
I'm terrified of almost everything.
321
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:19,910
And he Was Wonderful With EdWard,
Wonderful With servants.
322
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,870
Week after Week, young boys
Would come here looking for a job.
323
00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:28,550
He had a reputation for fairness.
324
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,590
Stern, but fair.
325
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,710
Where are all the servants, Sarah?
I've only seen Khansamar.
326
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,870
Thank you for your kindness, Mr Perron.
327
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,470
For being here. For knoWing Ronald.
328
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,790
Thank you, Guy.
329
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,070
- Where are the horses?
- We're not riding, after all.
330
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,110
We're going to Watch Ahmed.
331
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,270
We can Watch from over here.
332
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,870
NoW you can see something of old India.
There.
333
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,030
Her name's Mumtaz. Come and meet her.
334
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,790
But don't shake hands With Ahmed.
She's very jealous, aren't you, Mumtaz?
335
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,440
I'm not alloWed to touch her
cos I'm female,
336
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:47,030
but if Ahmed tells her it's all right,
she'll let you tickle her throat.
337
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,910
You may touch her noW, Mr Perron.
338
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,630
Ah, she liked that.
339
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,830
You'd better keep an eye on her,
Ahmed, I think she's a bit of a rover.
340
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,150
- Are you going to ride?
- I thought not today.
341
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,670
I'm glad you came in time.
Is everybody hungry?
342
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,190
If you Wait a moment
While Mumtaz goes to sleep.
343
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,630
- Are you glad you came?
- Not glad, enchanted.
344
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,470
I meant back to India.
345
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,710
The ansWer's the same.
346
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,670
Come on, breakfast,
then back to the palace, if that's all right.
347
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,670
Do you alWays take the soldiers
to go haWking?
348
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,110
It's neW to them.
I think they get a bit of a kick out of it.
349
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:17,260
I'll take you to see Dmitri at the palace
but I'll have to leave you for a While.
350
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,630
I'm giving a sWimming lesson to Shinaz.
351
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,870
- Who's Shinaz?
- The NaWab's daughter.
352
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,150
Drop us off at the gatehouse, all right?
353
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,270
- Shinaz?
- Yes, Shinaz.
354
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:08,190
Tell me, before I meet BronoWsky,
What did happen to Ronald?
355
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,230
Was it a riding accident?
356
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,990
Don't ask me, Guy.
357
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,750
Ask Nigel... or Dmitri.
358
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,590
Or, better still, nobody.
359
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,510
My dear Mr Perron!
360
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,670
Sir.
361
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,710
Sarah, Will you go to NaWab Sahib
before Shinaz's lesson?
362
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,590
- He Wants to say goodbye.
- Of course.
363
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:47,150
HoW can I sufficiently apologise
for not having greeted you before?
364
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,030
Please.
365
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,790
Sarah and Nigel have done their best
to cover up for me,
366
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,310
but I am very conscious
of my personal failing.
367
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,350
- Please forgive me.
- Not at all. Thank you.
368
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,670
I had your letter from England.
369
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,550
You mentioned Writing something
on the subject
370
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,510
on the transfer of poWer
as it affects states like this.
371
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,590
I've forgotten the name of the paper.
372
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,670
It's a neW quarterly revieW -
the NeW English Forum.
373
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:25,990
It probably Won't survive. My journalistic
credentials are entirely spurious.
374
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,380
But not your academic ones.
375
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:33,630
You Watch Indian history being made
as a break from teaching it to students,
376
00:34:33,720 --> 00:34:37,340
Who might With profit study
this morning's Ranpur Gazette...
377
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,430
on the future of India.
378
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,060
"Pandora's box."
You've read the editorial?
379
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:54,470
"With independence, the British
electorate is in the unfortunate position
380
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,990
"of opening Pandora's box,
381
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,830
"letting out all the evils
that have afflicted India in the past,
382
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:07,350
"Which until noW have been imprisoned
under the lid of British poWer and laW."
383
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,390
- It's a shreWd comment.
- Take it With you When you go.
384
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,630
- Read it at your leisure.
- Thank you.
385
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,630
I suppose Nigel told you What he hoped
to achieve in Gopalakand?
386
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:23,510
He gave me a rough outline.
387
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,350
He phoned to say
he'll be back this evening
388
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,110
With the necessary letter
from the Resident.
389
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,270
I haven't told NaWab Sahib,
so don't mention this When you see him.
390
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,510
No.
391
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,430
But one hopes noW that he Will sign.
392
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,150
Miss Layton Will cheer him up.
She is remarkably persuasive.
393
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:49,910
Yes. I hear she's giving sWimming
lessons to the NaWab's daughter.
394
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:55,990
Yes, quite remarkable. At last,
little Shinaz has come out of her shell.
395
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,310
Oh, for years I tried, NaWab Sahib tried.
396
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,150
She threatened to go into full purdah,
can you believe?
397
00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:08,990
NoW she's riding, sWimming,
Wearing modern clothes.
398
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:14,430
Even Ahmed is shoWing an interest
in her. And it's all Sarah's doing.
399
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,030
I fear We shall miss her at the palace
400
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,150
but one must look forward
Without regrets.
401
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,270
TomorroW, let us hope,
the States Department people
402
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:34,030
Will be on their Way back to Delhi
With their signed bits of paper.
403
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,270
Perhaps you Will be my guest
and come to dinner in the evening?
404
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,950
- I should enjoy that very much.
- I don't knoW if Sarah Will be With us.
405
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,310
She is to travel next day With
her aunt and sister. Ahmed is going, too.
406
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,150
He promised his father to be in Ranpur
for the August 15th celebrations.
407
00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:53,910
Since the Laytons Were going to Pankot,
408
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,150
he may as Well accompany them as far
as Ranpur. It is a good opportunity.
409
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:01,860
Well, come,
the editorial Will tell you more than I.
410
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,270
I Will introduce you to NaWab Sahib.
411
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:12,750
If you have time, you might also care to
read another item in the Ranpur Gazette
412
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,110
by a Writer Who signs himself
Philoctetes.
413
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,470
Curious sobriquet, don't you agree?
414
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,670
I alWays read his pieces.
He has a very English style.
415
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:27,510
But the editor is also an Englishman,
so perhaps he Writes these, too.
416
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,790
NaWab Sahib... Mr Perron.
417
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,430
Mr Perron.
418
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,390
HoW do you do?
419
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:23,390
I have been speaking to Miss Layton
about the lake.
420
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:28,070
We Watched the fishermen.
Do you knoW the meaning of the name?
421
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,670
- Izzat Bagh Lake, lzzat Bagh Palace?
- No, Your Highness.
422
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:38,590
Long ago, my ancestor declared that
the honour of our house - the "izzat" -
423
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,030
shall be maintained
so long as the lake did not dry up
424
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,630
and so it is called the lzzat Bagh.
425
00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:48,870
The fishermen
have fished its Waters ever since.
426
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,070
I'm glad to see they fish again today,
Your Highness.
427
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,150
Yes, it pleases me, too, Dmitri.
428
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,350
They fish again today.
429
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,100
"Watch out for snakes and scorpions,"...
430
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,350
Sarah says.
431
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,710
Did Merrick...
432
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,580
use this place?
433
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,670
Did he stay here?
434
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,230
"Alma Mater by Philoctetes."
435
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,390
(Guy) "'I Walk home
thinking of another place,
436
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,750
"'of seemingly long, endless summers."'
437
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,990
'I suppose you Were
at public school before university.
438
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,990
- 'At Which public school? '
- Chillingborough, sir.
439
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:04,390
Perhaps you remember an Indian boy
there Who called himself Harry Coomer.
440
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,310
24, please. The palace guest house.
441
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,030
Hello. May I speak to Miss Layton?
442
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,070
Who is it?
443
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,500
Oh, hello, Mr Perron!
It's her aunt, Mrs Grace.
444
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,790
I'm afraid Sarah's not here.
She's at the palace. Can I be of any help?
445
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:16,030
Yes. Some felloWs here With a truck are
removing things from the bungaloW.
446
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,660
- I suppose that's all right?
- Oh, yes, it's quite in order.
447
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:24,910
I expect it's the luggage that's going
With us to Pankot. It's coming here first.
448
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,990
Shall I tell Sarah you rang?
She's only out to dinner.
449
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,700
You might.
I may be travelling to Ranpur myself.
450
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,750
I Wondered if We might make a party of it.
451
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:38,470
We're going on Thursday. You mustn't
cut your visit short - unless it suits you.
452
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:43,070
- It Would suit me very Well.
- Oh, Well, I'll tell Sarah What you suggest
453
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,110
or leave her a message.
454
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,950
By the Way, Mr Kasim is
coming With us to Ranpur.
455
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,430
- 'Yes, I knoW.'
- And some people called Peabody.
456
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,390
An extra man Would be very nice.
457
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,230
'Lt's stupid, but since Colonel Layton
Went back to Pankot,
458
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,270
'I've been feeling out of my depth.'
459
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,590
- If I can be...
- I'll look forward to meeting you.
460
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,350
- I've heard so much about you.
- Thank you.
461
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,390
'Goodbye, Mr Perron.'
462
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,430
An extra man.
463
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,670
Thank you very much, Sarah.
464
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:41,470
'Perhaps you remember an Indian boy
there Who called himself Harry Coomer.'
465
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,270
Well played, Harry!
466
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:55,030
'I don't remember him being
interested in anything except cricket.'
467
00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:00,550
Cricket? I'm afraid his interest in India
extended beyond that.
468
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,510
- Oh.
- Hello, Guy. Have you eaten?
469
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,510
Er... l've been reading.
470
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,030
Dinner in half an hour.
471
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,790
Well... it's done.
472
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,350
The NaWab signed? Congratulations.
473
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,980
- Let me top up your drink.
- Thank you.
474
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,920
I've been at the palace.
475
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,830
The States Department chaps
have got their bits of paper.
476
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,390
Everything's fine.
477
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,030
- Soda?
- To the top, please.
478
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:48,400
Well, then, I gather you feel you've
learned as much as you need in Mirat.
479
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,110
I hope to have another chat
With Dmitri tomorroW night.
480
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:57,190
But you Want to go With the others
the day after?
481
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:02,950
I saW Sarah at the palace.
She'd had a phone call from her aunt.
482
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:07,870
She says she's sorry she Wasn't in
and they'd be delighted.
483
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,910
- Are you going With them to Pankot?
- Only to Ranpur.
484
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,540
I hope Ahmed can Wangle an intervieW
With his father for me.
485
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,790
With MAK? Oh, I'd forgotten about
your journalistic assignment.
486
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,830
- It's hardly that.
- Cheers.
487
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:22,270
Cheers.
488
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,350
- Tell me about the snake.
- The snake?
489
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,830
- The one found at the back.
- It Wasn't at the back, it Was in the bath.
490
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,670
- In my bath?
- In our bath.
491
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,830
By Merrick? He slept here, didn't he?
492
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:48,870
In that room.
493
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:54,710
For a month or tWo before Susan
joined him. What made you think that?
494
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,390
It has a resonance.
495
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,670
What happened in the end, Nigel?
What did he do?
496
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:37,310
Cut his Wrist? Take an overdose?
DroWn in the bath?
497
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,860
- He didn't die in the bath.
- Nor from a riding accident.
498
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,510
No.
499
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:50,870
Dmitri and I feel you ought to knoW...
and Sarah agrees.
500
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:55,900
She's the only member of the family
Who knoWs that Ronald Was murdered.
501
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,350
- HoW?
- Strangled.
502
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,820
In his bedroom.
503
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,070
Everything's been properly recorded
504
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:08,830
but a murdered Englishman at this stage
is the last thing anybody Wants.
505
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,790
The police are busy on it, of course,
506
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:16,470
but I doubt if the man or men Who did it
Will ever be caught.
507
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,230
- It Was carefully planned.
- By Whom? Pandit Baba?
508
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:26,300
The CID say, for the past month, he's
been on a pilgrimage in the Himalayas.
509
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:32,270
What about the other Bibighar suspects?
Then men he arrested after the rape?
510
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,110
TWo are still in Mayapore.
They've been cleared by the police.
511
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:40,350
One died of tuberculosis a year ago
and tWo are Working in Calcutta.
512
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,310
What about Hari? What about Kumar?
513
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,750
He's still in Ranpur...
and also in the clear.
514
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,790
Dmitri told me this evening.
515
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,230
I'd rather not say any more, Guy.
516
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,670
The details are pretty horrifying.
517
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,110
Even Sarah doesn't knoW it all.
518
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:05,630
Incidentally, I've got Kumar's address.
519
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:08,070
If you Want it.
520
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,430
Yes. Yes, I'd like his address.
521
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:20,350
And noW I'm going to take a bath.
I'm feeling travel stained.
522
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,910
- Will you be all right?
- Yes, I've got the Ranpur Gazette.
523
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,270
Watch out for snakes.
524
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:34,030
By the Way... Who Was Philoctetes?
525
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,630
What?
526
00:48:35,720 --> 00:48:38,830
Philoctetes. You're a classics man.
527
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,070
A friend of Hercules, an Argonaut.
528
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,270
They put him ashore at Lemnos.
529
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,310
- Why?
- I think he Was Wounded.
530
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,950
Anyway, he stank. The others couldn't
stand the smell so they abandoned him.
531
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,550
That fits. Did he ever get to Troy?
532
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,630
Eventually. They needed him in the end.
533
00:48:57,720 --> 00:49:00,470
Why are you so interested
in Philoctetes?
534
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,670
Just a name I came across.
You look tired. Go and have that bath.
535
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,630
Dinner in half an hour.
536
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:21,310
'Alma Mater... by Philoctetes.'
537
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:25,510
(Hari) 'On Sunday, When the extension
of Ranpur Government College

00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,110
'had been opened

The place Was empty.

00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:45,070
'only rectangular spaces Where
blackboards have yet to be installed.

00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:49,910
'Spaces Where students Will sit and
teachers stand on the bare platforms,

'blackboards becoming grey
from the Wiped-off chalk marks
546
00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:56,230
'of demonstrated equations.

00:49:56,320 --> 00:50:00,430
'Subdued, I left the college

00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,950
'A feW shade trees
have already been planted.

550
00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:13,280
'And I Walk home,
thinking of another place,

'of seemingly endless summers... '
552
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,880
'... and the shade

of the trees Were bare.
