Swing and mist, you hear?

Gah!

It'd be much better off letting me win.

You waste two.

This is Bummer.

Oh, and what a very fine boy you are doing.

Ah!

Ah!

It was all thanks to Mr. Ian in the end.

Mr. Khan, when would you rise to the occlusion?

I told you. Who told you there was a bomb?

I need a name.

Oh, it's him.

Dada.

What is my mother doing with that man?

Oh, no.

These are your daddy.

Shut up!

Shut up!

Okay.

Get by

Theades

I know!

That's a little bit of something,

but…

It's too long,

but…

Oh!

It's too long,

but…

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

There we go. Now then. There. That's it. Good as new. Now listen. I've been in touch with

my old friend and only for names. He's the bridge partner of one of the new crowd at

the endear office now, so Samuel's on his way out. Anyway, according to him, old whore

thorn has been as good as his word. Yeah, he's thinking your praises is. So you see,

he's still very much in the world. I think I might have seen them. Oh. Well, we'll see

in a minute. My mother and your husband. I don't know if I remember it. I dreamed it

while I'm making it up. Well, when was this? I don't know. It was in the house. It was

in my house. Well, yeah. I have to say that it's possible. So how long did all this last?

I thought it was just a samurai to it. No. No. It was a bit longer than that. Oh, well,

I don't know. I think I'm going to stop him. Don't blame me. It really isn't fair. You've

got to stop him. How? He stood by and you let it happen.

Mr Ian. Sonny. Miss. Miss the lout. Yes. Which of us do you want to say?

Very good. I am going to make us a lovely omelet. Yes, I don't have all the names,

still. Now, how many people are there currently working here on your state?

She's coming out. All gone. Yes. And how are you feeling? Better? Very much. Now, first

of all, I will need a list of names with... Sonny. Sonny, I must confess, I didn't just

ask you here to discuss employment contracts. Oh. I had something I wanted to say to you.

You know, actually, I think I should be going. It won't be long. Now, I know it's not much,

not yet, but we're building something here. A world of our own, you might see. But lately,

since our paths crossed, I thought, you know, I can't carry it all on my own. Sonny, you're

the most courageous woman I ever met. I admire you. I fear you. I fear disappointing you.

Would you ever consider joining me, sharing the work I do? What do you say? I want a friend,

a wife. Me? Here? Hi. If you wait. Mr. You. Yes. I have to call. Right, you are. But...

What? Will you think about it? Yes. Thank you. You do that. You think about it.

Vice-Roe, we're sorry not to join us. Ah, his excellencies yesterday's news.

Did you or the coming man? Are you not? I think that depends on your highness. Really? I am still

hoping you can help me turn the other princes. We're not back on this government bill of yours.

I'm afraid we are. Then why should I agree to any of it? I like it or not, your highness.

India wants her freedom. But you see, my trouble, don't you, Riele? I'm free already.

I'm free. I'm free. I'm free. I'm free. I'm free. I'm free. I'm free. I'm free. I'm free.

Mr. Lal. Oh, you're busy. No. Yes. Well, we're going to press in. Oh, God. I should go.

No, wait. Wait. Wait. I have all the time in the world. I'm sorry. I'm a little confused because, well, do I

do I have a goal? Mr. Ian, he made a... Well, he... What did he do to you? He made a proposal of marriage.

I see. Yes. And may I ask what answer did you give? I told him I would think about it. Yes. Caution is no

bad thing. But now I find I have been promised away to some other boy. My God, what boy? He's from

my own people. He has the most enormous eyebrows. How unnecessary. And I only come to you because

well, my brother is away and I suppose you are the next best thing. The next best thing?

I say what an honoured position you put me. Forgive me. I thought you were my friend.

For God's sake, tell me what can I do? I knew the answer to that. I would have done all that

gummies. Think we must wait and we must think. There's no time you stupid man. Why not? Because

he's here already. Who is? The eyebrow man.

Here we are.

Tell me, have you ever heard the one about the prince of Agar? Ferocious hunter, as you can

well imagine. But one afternoon in all of his usual practice, he calls out to a chakari.

Untie the goat. And untie it, they do. And in its place... Yes, I remember the story.

And in its place, they tie a baby to a pole. A baby. Yet we debate the tiger. Just for the

hell of it. Imagine. And the prince looks at the father of the child. Fair not, says the prince.

And a damn fine shot. And that my friend is freedom. And I'm into fear of this. You understand?

You understand?

I say. So we tried out. What? Untie the goat. And services are no longer required.

Tie the fellow up. Boy!

Your highness, we should head up. This is all very amusing. It's nothing of the sort.

You look me in the eye. Give me your word. As a gentleman. Nothing will touch my freedom.

Yes. But there are... You see, that's exactly my point. It has to be one thing or the other.

Either I am free to do as I please. Or Majesty is subject to the will of others. Outside forces.

So he...

Don't do this. Just to prove a point. Well, I want to. Tell him.

Right it. There you go.

All right. Good. Use the other one. What? The other boy. Use him if you must.

Very well. We'll take the little boy.

Steve. That's right. Come on. Come on. Get up.

Steve. What are we doing? It's all right.

You look like a dog. Sugar. The pluck.

Go. Go. Go. Go.

Happy. Happy.

Child has nothing to fear.

Defend him as if he was our own son.

Tell me, Wheeler.

Your sister will be joining us for supper tonight.

She's busier than Vader Holmes.

She's busier than Vader Holmes. Can I only tell him to change her plans?

No. That won't be possible.

Shall we?

All right.

Vegas's belief that you would use a poor child like that as a bank.

You insisted on it? Radical Joe Goldman.

I just wanted to see how far you'd go.

The pie-trolls you badly will do.

How's your aim?

We'll have a cricketer.

Just as I'd share.

It's a practice. Go. Go. Go.

Go. Go.

Go. Go.

Go. Go.

Go. Go.

Go. Go.

Fire!

Boopy.

I don't know why you're making such a fuss.

The son of yours was never in any danger.

Don't fit with me, Cooper. You're a neighbor.

What was that? Boopy.

If there's no danger, why not tie Adam to the post?

That's enough.

Oh.

Nice for doing this.

I thought you wanted me here.

Change of plan.

Prince is an unpredictable force.

It's just one night, so...

He's off. You're wet.

Sorry.

Oh, huh.

Pity, your Mr. De Laude's not there to help.

He's always very good at these sorts of dinners.

Yes.

What?

I want you to avoid him.

De Laude, I mean, when he gets back from Quitter.

I know why.

In confidence?

So?

I'm serious. Not a word to us all.

All right.

When he was in Bengal, De Laude got mixed up with some traitors, agitators.

By all rights, he should be buying bars right now.

Standing trial.

What will you do?

No, I've given him an ultimate to him.

Did he get back from Quitter?

He's either with us, with the administration, heart and soul.

Or he leaves town, starts a new life.

You think I'm being too lenient?

No. He's our friend.

I say, but, huh?

Here he comes. The pied piper.

So we go.

Right at the club.

I can't wait.

Oh, here they are.

Speak of the devil.

And a joke, isn't it?

Afternoon, Mrs. S.

How's that brother of yours getting on with his royal guest?

No.

What guest is that then?

The Maharaja of Amrit football.

Oh, yeah, of course.

Yeah.

Your old Ralph, still hoping for a miracle.

They've been off hunting.

Ooh.

Must have cost you pretty penny.

Yes.

Yes, it did, it's not a pain.

No, Mr. H, you might have borrowed your wife.

If you must.

Come on.

There's someone to see you.

Sarah!

I... Jay, you just went off.

What's his name?

Ernest.

It looks just like his daddy.

Does he?

Well, I happen to think he looks like himself.

Sarah.

I'm so sorry about your husband.

What I heard would happen will be...

I couldn't make her to have many of it.

Of course.

Did you?

Was I there?

No.

No, but...

Everyone says it was a tragic accident.

Yes.

What does that actually mean?

It doesn't make any sense.

Hello, weren't you, love?

It's Ernest.

Yeah, that's just what I said.

So, yes, I heard poor Mrs. Rayworth here was staying down at the Cecil Hotel.

I mean, that place is crawling with tourists of every possible complexion.

Stairs ares.

Thank you.

I'm not a charity case.

Mrs. Haffstock.

Oh, no, no, no, quite right.

Just stay up here.

Now, I had Kaiser dig this out of retirement.

It's an old one of mine, but it's a very fine silk.

No, no, I'm sorry.

I'm not going about like some creature at a zoo.

Anyway, it's far too big for little of me.

Oh, all right.

Well, let me say, dear.

I should get ready.

Oh, yeah, Mrs. Rayworth's elder sons on his way up.

Isn't that right?

Matthew?

He's back in it, dear.

Yes.

Not now.

Oh, what wonderful news.

Silly, isn't it?

What if I don't recognise him?

I don't know what to say, will I?

So I'm going to need some help.

Can we fetch my old eye a back?

Oh, yeah.

I suspect something can be arranged.

Yeah.

Thank you.

No, I'm sorry.

I'm going to be arranged.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Now, SUNY, I'm going to say this only once.

Now, and do you ever say anything once?

Today, there is going to be no talk of Gandhiji, no talk of pangat Nehru, no talk about the rights of man or woman.

Everybody knows a clever wife brings no peace to the house.

So...

Yes, it's a tongue thing to you.

What do I always say, Baman?

Practice, practice, Auntie.

Practice, practice.

So, what about all your little hobbies, SUNY?

Well, my sister used to play piano.

And what about you, honey?

SUNY's a very fine artist.

What?

In fact, I just happened to have, by chance, one or two things.

Yeah.

Have a look.

And how did you know that?

And how did you learn to draw like this, SUNY?

I didn't.

It's a gift.

She's gifted.

Well, perhaps one day, very soon, you will get to draw Baman.

No, Auntie.

I'll be a waste of a good pencil.

And most particularly, the eyebrows.

I tell you, we're so lucky to at least be here in one piece.

And why is that?

Gandhi, they didn't allow him to visit up in Quetta, thank God.

So now, the sly fellow is planning some kind of vigil down in Ambala.

So our train got delayed.

I know, this is for what?

Well, my son is in Quetta.

Oh, my God.

Whatever's he doing up there?

What is it, Janu?

He's coordinating the relief effort.

When the supplies are running low, he will tell them.

Well, that sounds like useful work.

And not at all dangerous.

He's my mouth down with the relief.

Your highness.

Well done. Welcome to our home.

Did I tell you, Mime?

Mm.

Charming little house.

Thank you.

Ralph.

Sari?

Hello.

Sari-ing.

Mm-mm.

I'm happy to give you a tour of the grounds, right?

Mm.

Great going.

I let the driver go.

The end of the night.

Oh, this is beautiful.

Oh, thank you.

I have to be honest.

I cannot draw to save my life.

You're very modest.

No.

Those pictures are my brother's work.

He is the artist.

Well, if I can be honest too, I'm a hopeless musician.

The instrument was my father's.

And that song is the whole length and breadth of my repertoire.

I'm glad we can be honest.

I do.

Now tell me.

Yes?

What is it you want from your wife?

The children?

Friendship?

Happiness at home?

All good things.

What else?

A woman who's not afraid to challenge her husband?

Oh.

The mayor challenged you now?

Wait, shouldn't we be getting back to her?

You see, when I think about you and your lovely home in Delhi,

I have to wonder, will it ever be enough for me?

Suni, I would bring home all my case files.

We could work on them together, if you like, after the children would put to bed.

The children?

And you would be a lawyer, active and fulfilled in all but name.

Thank you.

Forgive me. Are you Mr. Lal?

What?

Yes, I am Mr. Lal.

Well, in that case, your father has asked me to convey you home directly. Shall we go?

My father.

I'm stark raving mad Mr. Lal. I have no idea what I'm saying.

Don't stand there, please. What are you waiting for?

When, when, when will you rise to the occasion, Mr. Khan?

Do you remember saying those words to me?

Not particularly.

Well, it's a question that haunts me. And do you know, after your visit today,

when you came to me in such distress, I realized if I'm ever to be of merit,

if I'm ever to rise above picnics or flower shows, it requires a little daring.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about you, your happiness, your good feeling.

What?

How did the rose ever open its heart?

Come. I've arranged a vehicle.

Where are we going?

Trust me.

You see, my few game old boy.

I admit, I'm puzzled.

You're so dead against the terms of the bill, why honor us with the visit.

The courtesy to my old friend, the Vice Roy.

He said to me, talk to the boy, young man.

Yeah, what he asked to say.

Thank you.

Now, as you're aware, the Chamber of Princes meet in a few weeks.

I might be able to persuade them to believe in this brave new world of yours.

In order to do that, I need something in return.

Yes, what's that?

Then be your wife.

What?

Not forever, just for an evening.

Oh, I see.

Not one of your practical jokes.

Not this time.

What point are you trying to make this time?

No point at all, Willan.

I like the look of her.

That might be fun.

Oh, I don't think so.

No!

We'll see you with you as we'll be.

At last, oh, my dear.

Hello, mother.

Oh, my darling.

Look at you.

I promised I wouldn't say it.

He's like a young man.

He's a young man.

Aya, is that you?

So he...

Matthew, forgot to take it.

Look at that cat's got her done.

So he...

She doesn't know what to call you.

I don't laugh at her.

So come on, let's go.

Aya.

What is it? What's the matter?

It's just the white sorry.

What about it?

What I thought...

I thought it meant...

But is she in mourning for someone?

I shouldn't think so.

Is there someone from your village?

He...

He's a...

All these questions.

Golly!

What's father?

Honestly, love.

Can't I just see you for one minute without him spoiling everything?

Well, how do you meet her?

Excuse me, how did you...

I just have to...

Where are you going?

It's like...

You're father?

Oh, my...

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Matthew, I'm sorry.

Matthew, I'm so sorry, love.

I tried writing.

What's going on? What happened?

I don't know. Do I? Everyone says it. Wasn't it?

Sit it...

Come on. Put your hat on.

Yes, please.

Sit on, sit it on.

So, what you're saying is...

The viceroy was here, enjoying his jubilee.

Gas scattered about...

It's gonna eat that?

It's about the sun.

And the bomb.

Here?

Here?

It's a pity you weren't there to see it first hand.

Anyway, it wasn't a bomb.

Not as such.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

What was it then?

There was a boy.

He discovered these explosives.

He thought it was a game.

Well, that makes perfect sense.

Yeah.

When you put it like that.

It was a dreadful accident.

Oh, perfect.

An axe.

Boy.

Try turning that to the poor fellow who kicked the bucket.

Oh, God. Look at his son now.

I'm so sorry.

It's fine.

Come with me.

Baby, do you see what you're doing?

Sabotageing my evening.

At one time, I need everyone at their best.

I cannot serve that man.

Fine, go on. Get lost.

Clear off. Go and sulk in your room.

What is wrong with everyone?

Everyone's fine.

It's not clumsy open.

You're right.

It's not booby's fault.

It's mine.

Just the prince.

He said something inexcusable.

What?

Tell me.

I can't.

Say it.

He more or less said.

Knowing how much I need his support.

He'd only give us his backing for the bill.

If you agree, he volunteered.

To spend a few hours in his company.

Doing what?

She said.

Oh, it's just me, Martin.

I know. It's funny.

It ought to be funny.

What did you say?

Naturally, I didn't get out of the house immediately.

What a cheek.

Obviously.

We just carry on.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Obviously, we just carry on like nothing's happened.

Try and get through it.

I just found it galling the idea that everyone would know.

Except you.

And the job?

Doesn't matter about the job.

Who cares about the job?

Nothing matters except you.

Hmm?

Come on.

Okay, how far are you? Is it coming?

Not a chance.

I don't mean it.

Of course.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

See how he spoils me?

I stole it from my wife.

I thought Serene was your wife.

Oh, no.

She's a temporary wife.

This is her pension.

She can pawn it for dollars when she gets back to her one horse town.

Come on, Lizzie. That's not funny.

Don't move.

Now this.

This.

Belong to my mother.

I...

Can't accept it. I'm sorry.

How does Mrs. Wieden look for this?

Time.

And what does Mr. Wieden say?

Well, Treasury.

When we're downing.

You know, I...

I have the most wretched headache coming.

Come on.

Have a drink.

It'll pass.

Not this kind, though.

You all go on without me.

Oh, no, Mads. We wouldn't dream of it.

Come on, Woody.

We should push off.

Mm.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Mm.

Mm.

We need to borrow your driver, of course.

Ralph.

Are you sure you don't want a night, Cat?

What would be the point?

We'll talk again in a minute.

I have a night.

I stopped.

Ralph.

I'll thank you for a pleasant evening.

You're welcome.

Where's this damn driver?

Booby!

Lazy fool.

I'll go chase him up.

You're going nowhere in those hills.

It's not a problem.

Where?

Be a gentleman.

I'm going for it, Sir.

Damn, John.

Yes.

Go.

All right.

All right.

So, we hope to see you down in Delhi?

Booby.

I think my husband's offended.

As is mine.

Oh, come on, Madeline.

There'd be some waves.

I mean, we're women of the world.

I'm not in your world.

Let's put you in your place.

Well, I didn't think so so, fashion, did you?

I'm not.

We thought you were a free think.

Liberated.

I am.

In here, you won't forgive you.

You think you will.

But he won't.

Ha.

Damn it.

Well, come on, Missy.

Let's go.

There he is.

It's all right.

We don't need him just yet.

Madeline?

It's fine.

Fine.

See?

All this well.

So...

your hyenas.

Where do you want to do this?

Yes?

What's he saying? I can't hear anything.

He says, Be hopeful.

He says, We are one whole nation, one people, without taint of division, under God.

You see, everything is possible.

Yes.

Suni, I love you.

I want to see this world as you do.

I want you to be and do everything you can and will and must.

I want you to be.

No. I wanted left, though.

My child is down the hall.

I want you to be.

Oh.

I want you to be.

So, she'll be back.

This is what you want.

You tell me, why is he doing this?

Why is he doing this?

I don't think he likes you very much.

I wouldn't do that at all.

I don't think he likes you very much.

I wouldn't do that at all.

I don't think he likes you very much.

I wouldn't do that at all, were you?

She's made a sacrifice, you know, she might even enjoy it.

Old man in view is like a bear with a honey pot.

You know, it's your sister.

You really wanted.

So I got her.

So I got her.

I don't know.

See, this is how I like them, like this.

When they're asleep.

No, no, no, no, no, they're peaceful.

You never want a children of your own.

Yeah.

I don't want it, then.

My wife doesn't.

I don't mean, but I couldn't, that's all.

Sorry to hear that.

So your husband's a proper servant, isn't he?

Cool.

Oh, we put up with them all.

They aren't so different.

You're rigid, my mister ate.

You know, they weren't.

And is that why you've been helping me with that, Frinn?

Yeah.

It is.

You see, I was just stuck in doors all the time.

And he was out there, up on his fine horse, and a world full of temptation.

So I've nice he'd come home and he'd give me a little present, you see.

I thought he actually called it.

A little present.

And it was a very nice present.

Yeah.

Should have got himself checked out first.

That would have been a gentleman, anything.

Tacked out.

Yes dear, bad doctor.

He was worse, he used to shrug them all off.

All his little conditions.

Oh yeah, he was very proud of his health.

But I couldn't.

Not now.

Two in a week.

I tried.

I honestly did try.

One, two, three little babies.

They come out poor little mites.

Not one blessed breath between them.

In the end he just laughed.

The last time.

Laughed in the face of a dead child.

Heh.

Then in a way, where was I?

I could find the eye.

Here we are.

Oh no, he's mummied.

Come on, you want to see him?

Don't drop him.

I love you too.

That's...

I think we can manage from here.

Thank you.

Here go darling.

Look at that.

Two brothers.

Come here darling.

Come to mama.

Yes, my sweet boy.

Good boy.

Ralph, will you do something for me?

Anything?

Will you tell me why it is you even want this job?

It was my father's dying wish.

That it?

That all we've got?

Jesus Christ.

What do you want?

Or think or feel?

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

I've worked for it.

So long.

It's too late to change.

I just know.

Where are you going?

To take a bath.

I hope you get what you want.

I'm sorry.

Son.

We have.

Get up.

What are we aiming to hit?

Shoot.

We'll see you'll find out.

See what I mean?

Darkly comic drama flowers with Olivia Coleman and Julian Barrett starts tomorrow night at 10.
