Hello, William.

Right, thank you.

St. John's Wood!

Charles, is that you?

Come and see
what the boys have made.

Katherine?

Katherine?

- Charles!
- Katherine?

Charles!

Charles!
- Katherine? Katherine?

It's the window, it's just
come through the window.

Has he gone, Charles?

Papa's here, are you okay,
James?

Let me check your hand.

Oh, his hand's bleeding,
Charles, William's cut.

He's cut his hand, Charles.

Papa's here now, shhhh.

Mr. Whicher.

Mrs. Piper, good evening.

You weren't at the service.

No, no.

Are you walking back
to the house?

Yes, I am.

I hope you're finding
your room suitable.

Oh, I am, thank you.

I hope you're not, uh, disturbed
by my coming and going.

Oh, not at all.

Well, you warned me that
you keep irregular hours.

I'm sure it must be unavoidable
in your line of work.

Would you like a cup of tea?

Um, no thank you.

Do come in.

There's still quite a chill
in the air, isn't there?

Spring is taking her time
this year.

Yes.

Though I did see some flowers
coming up in the garden.

Lilac.

Be nice to see
what else is out there.

It's a wonder anything
survived, it's so overgrown.

You haven't been here long, then?

No, about six months.

I inherited the house
from my brother.

When my husband was alive,
we rented a house in Bow.

Do you know it?
- I do, yes.

After he died, I went
abroad for a while.

This place was in quite a
state when I took it on.

Well, you've done a good job
with it.

Thank you.

Only the garden to tackle now.

Do you take sugar, Mr. Whicher?

Yes, thank you.

I could help you, if you like.

With the garden.

I enjoy it.

My father used to be a gardener.

Well, that's very kind of you.

Only if you have time.

Shall I?
- Yes, thank you.

Good evening, Mr. Whicher.

Good evening.

I wonder
if I might have a word.

Come in, sir.

Who is it?

Ah, an
old acquaintance, ma'am.

This is Mrs. Piper,
she's my landlady.

- Good evening to you, ma'am.
- Good evening.

Use the sitting room if
you wish, Mr. Whicher.

Thank you.

After you, sir.
- I'm afraid the fire isn't lit.

No matter.

Please, sit down.
- Thank you.

You recognise me, then?

Yes, we met a couple of
years ago at the home office.

A lunch.
- Yes, you regaled us with

tales of keeping the peace
on the London streets.

What can I do for you,
Sir Edward?

I have a private family
difficulty.

My son, my only son, Charles.

He has spent some years
in India,

and he's recently returned.

He has reason to believe that
there is a person at large

who is a danger to him
and to his family.

I want that person found.

With all due respect, sir,

that sounds like
a police matter.

This isn't something I
can take to Scotland Yard.

You're probably aware that my
party is no longer in office.

- Yes.
- But in the meantime,

I remain a member of Parliament.

I can't stress too strongly
the need for absolute secrecy

regarding this situation.

That goes without saying.

Good.

I must say, sir,

I'm surprised
that you've come to me.

I have a letter upstairs
dismissing me from the force.

It has your name at the
bottom of that letter.

Yes.

That was
an extremely difficult business.

I'm sure you appreciate
that as a minister,

I had to rely upon the advice--

Commissioner Mayne.

I was going to say
the medical officers.

That was a long time ago.

I'm here, Mr. Whicher.

That must tell you something

about my opinion
of your abilities.

Thank you.

So will you take the case?

I'm not asking you
to become involved

in something underhand.

I'm quite sure, sir.

But I have to know more.

Thank you.
- Thank you, governor.

You say this happened
on Friday, Captain Shore?

Yes.
In broad daylight.

And this man, Jabour.

Asim Jabour.

What is it he wants with you?

I was in India for 12 years.

It's a very long time.

I went out with the army,
but after a few years,

I resigned my commission
and moved into trade.

Some months ago, I
committed an indiscretion.

What sort of indiscretion?

Does that matter?

Yes.

Let's just say it's
not the sort of thing

I would want my wife
to hear about.

I'm sure you can imagine.

Now, Jabour came to me
demanding money.

I gave him some, not much.

A little while later he
came back asking for more.

Gave me two weeks
to come up with it.

Now, by this time, I'd already
decided to leave India.

I'd made my fortune,
so to speak,

and I wanted my sons
to be educated here.

By the time I left, I thought
that would be the end of it.

You say he was working as a
sailor when he approached you,

lascars, isn't that
what they're called?

Yes.

Was he dressed as a
lascar when he followed you?

Look, all we want you
to do is to find him.

I'd do it myself, but I don't
want to leave my family alone.

And if I do find him,
what then?

Katherine, not now.

Forgive me.

Take them upstairs,
I won't be long.

Allow me to say
goodnight.

Say goodnight to
Grandpapa.

- Goodnight, Grandpapa.
- Goodnight, James.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, William.

You bearing up?

Brave little soldier.

It's not knowing when
he's going to come back.

That's what they do, they let
you know they're out there,

and then they make you wait.

Katherine,
I'll see you upstairs.

Sorry.

Goodnight.
- Come on.

- Goodnight.
- Off to bed, now.

Katherine can get, uh...

rather anxious.

She came through
the mutiny with me.

You say that you were
leaving your bank

when you first became aware
that you were being followed.

Uh, yes.

Is it possible
that Jabour could have known

the address of the bank?

Yes, um, because of
the payment I made.

Perhaps you should get
somebody else

to help you watch the house.

No, I can defend the house.

Would you require money
in advance, Mr. Whicher?

That won't be necessary,
sir, no.

If you do find him,
send word to me at once.

My home address, never
go through Westminster.

Write me nightly reports.

Yes, sir.

Charles is a fine man.

He spent five years
serving Queen and country.

I don't judge.

None of us are free
from weakness, sir.

Is the boatswain about?

I'm told you started out
from Calcutta.

- That's right.
- You docked on Wednesday.

Is this insurance?
Because if it is--

No, it's not, no.

I'm a private enquiry agent.

I'm looking for a sailor,

a lascar by the name
of Asim Jabour.

I was hoping I might be able to

have a look at your crew list.

Well, you can.
I doubt it'll do you much good.

None of them can write.

We ask 'em their names and
write down what we hear,

and half of them don't
give their real names.

The man I'm looking for
is unusual.

He's tall for an Indian,
very pale-skinned.

Oh, him.

Hmm.
- You know the man?

We certainly had one
like that.

He was trouble.

Gave him the lash
more than once.

What did he call himself?

Karim, that's him.

Abdul Karim.

Where is he now?
- No idea.

He made off as soon
as we docked.

There's always a few.

Think the streets
are made of gold.

End up begging for soup
down at the Strangers' Home.

Can I speak to some
of the others?

You can try.

Judd.

So what's he done?

I can't say.

I hope it's a hanging offence.

Does anybody speak English?

You're wasting your time.

Abdul Karim.

I'm looking for a man
named Abdul Karim.

I know he was on the ship
with you.

He's gone.

Does anyone know where?

Well, he's not in trouble.

I'm trying to stop him
from getting intotrouble.

He said they will
leave the ship in London.

Who's they?

Is he with someone?

His brother.
A boy.

What does that mean?

Alright.

There's a pub just along the
quay, the Hope and Anchor.

I'll be in there tonight.

If anyone has any information,
they can come and find me.

There'll be a reward.

Money.

Your man.

I remember something.

Caught him in the
passengers' quarters, twice,

talking to someone.

They're not allowed
near the passengers.

Who was he talking to?

- Thanks.
- Good day.

Yes?

I wondered if I might have
a word with Major Gilbraith

or Mrs. Gilbraith.

They're not at home,
what is this regarding?

I wanted to ask them
some questions

about their voyage
on the Southern Star.

In particular, about
the nanny or governess

that travelled with them.

Is she still in their employ?

What's this, Mr. Denison?

This is Miss Khan, governess
to the Major's children.

I wonder if I might have
a word with you, miss?

- What about?
- My name is Whicher.

I'm making private enquiries
on behalf of a client.

Are you a policeman?

No, no, I'm not a policeman.

Fasten your coats, children,
we'll be going in a minute.

I'm trying to trace a man,
a lascar

on board the Southern Starwho
called himself Abdul Karim.

Someone thought they might
have seen you speaking to him.

I didn't notice any of
the lascars, why would I?

I don't involve myself
with people like that.

Come along, children.

He might
have had a boy with him.

I'm afraid if you want to
ask me any more questions,

you'll have to walk with us.

The children need some air.

Are we going
to the park, Miss Khan?

Good day.

Let me open the gate.

Issie, you're it!

I have to be careful,
Mr. Whicher.

It's... difficult for me
to be accepted here.

The servants already
look down on me.

I sincerely apologise if I've
compromised you, Miss Khan.

Thank you.

I did speak to a lascar
who fits your description,

but only to pass
the time of day.

He had the same dialect as me.

He was a voice from home,
you understand?

Yes.

And there was a boy with him.

Do you have any idea at
all where they could be?

Well, I'm not sure yet.

I expect they'll still be
around the docks somewhere.

It's rare for people
from the ships

to venture too far
into the city.

Yes.

This country is not a...

Hospitable place
for people like them.

I had no choice
but to come here.

I've been with the Major
now for many years...

...and a mother will do anything
to stay with her child.

Well, I must get on.

May I ask you one more thing?

Have you heard the word
"prandihinsa" before,

or "pravi--"
- "Pratihinsa"?

Yes.

Why?

It's something
one of the lascars said

when I asked them why Karim
might have disappeared.

Can you tell me what it means?

It's a difficult word
to translate.

It... speaks of honour
and of vengeance.

It's a dangerous word.

Good day.

Good day, Miss Khan.

What are you doing there?

Father John. Jack Whicher.

Do you remember me?
- Ah, yes.

Inspector Whicher.

Oh, it's not Inspector
any more.

I left the force
a few years back now.

Did you?

Well, what can we do for you?
We're busy, as you can see.

I'm looking for
a particular lascar.

I was hoping he might
be staying here.

His name is Asim Jabour,
but he might be

going under the name
Abdul Karim.

We don't ask for names.

Look, I'm afraid I'll have to
ask you to leave, Mr. Whicher.

We can't have people in
here asking questions.

All we do is feed them
and clothe them

and give them a bed until
they feel strong enough

to face the voyage back.

Yes, yes,
it's good work you do.

Look, whatever crime
your man has committed

can't be worse than
the one being committed

aboard those ships
in the name of profit.

This man might have a
boy with him, his brother.

He's very young.

If you do see them, could
you at least mention to them

that I'm looking for them?

Good afternoon, Mr. Whicher.

I'm trying to help them
as much as

I'm trying to help my client.

Please.

See yourself out.

Evening.

A pint of ale, please.

I'll bring it over to you.

Where are we going?

Come, come.
Please, please, sir, come.

What?

Is it the money,
do you want money?

No, no, no money.

Is that where I'll find him?

Abdul Karim?

- Hello, there.
- Just spotted him in the water.

Someone's gone for the police.

What is it?

It's-- It's possible
I found your man, sir.

I see.

Where is he?
Shouldn't you have stayed?

If it's him,
he's not going anywhere.

He's lying on a slab in
the morgue by the docks.

Mrs. Johnson, my coat.

Yes, Sir Edward.

Good Lord.

Whicher.
- Commissioner Mayne.

What on Earth
are you doing here?

Surely you're not working--

Ah, ah, yes, of course,
you two know each other.

Mr. Whicher is assisting me
with a small personal enquiry.

I see.

I have to go out
for a short while.

If you'll excuse me.

You're looking well, Whicher.

I am.

Likewise.

What's going on, Edward?

Nothing for you
to worry about, my dear.

Go and look after our guests.

Can't someone else deal
with this?

Sir Edward and his guests--
- I'm afraid not, ma'am.

Is this about Charles
and those children?

Georgina.

Come along, Whicher.

It's him.

It's Asim Jabour.

The wound on the back
of his head is deep.

It's possible
that it killed him outright,

then he was thrown
into the water.

Or he could have been
unconscious when he went in.

Postmortem should tell us more.

Good.

Thank you, Mr. Whicher.

Not quite
what we were expecting,

but you must let me
know how much I owe you.

Did you see him today,
Captain Shore?

See him?

I wondered if he might
have approached you.

Sent you a message, perhaps,
or asked you for a meeting.

What are you implying?

I'm simply asking you
a question.

What sort of a fool are you?

Why would we send you out
looking for him

if we already knew where he was?

Why did you pay him
with a banker's draught?

That's a strange way
to pay a blackmailer.

I didn't say that, I--

What were you really paying
him for, Captain Shore?

There was a word he used to
explain why he'd come here.

Pratihinsa.

What does it mean?

Captain Shore?

Then there's the children.
- That's enough.

You've earned your money,
very easy money, I might add.

Now, none of this is any
of your damn business.

A man is dead.

I think it ismy business.

It's everyone's business.

Perhaps we should talk
about this in private.

There is nothing
to talk about.

This isn't over for me or you.

Jabour was travelling
with his brother.

Unless he went under the water,
too, he's still out there.

Oh, my God, the house.

You don't know what these
people are capable of.

Katherine!

Katherine!
Where are the children?

They're in bed.
I just looked in on them, why?

Charles? Charles?

Scotland Yard need
to be told about

the identity of the body.

Why don't you go to Mayne?

Speak to him.

I can't.

They're alright.

No one's been here.

Are the children yours,
Captain Shore?

I really wish
you wouldn't cry.

Sorry.

Some years ago, not long
after I arrived in India,

I took up with a girl...

...an Indian girl.

It was supposed to be a
temporary arrangement.

Katherine arrived not long
after and we got married,

but I didn't stop seeing
this girl.

It's very normal out there.

Or it was.

People have become a lot more
guarded since the mutiny.

Anyway, after Cawnpore
I couldn't

stomach the army any
longer and I left.

We moved to a place in the
hills and started a business.

Katherine hasn't been
able to have children,

but this girl, Zeenat.

That was her name.

She could.

We all lived together
as a family.

And when we decided to
move back to England,

I told Zeenat
we wanted to take the boys

and asked her to come with us.

But she didn't want
to leave her country.

She said she was happy
for the boys to go.

She'd never been particularly
interested in them,

had she, Charles?

No.

She wasn't a natural mother.

She was careless with them.

Always giving them medicine
so that

they wouldn't trouble her.

We offered to buy her a
house by way of compensation,

said we'd send her a sum
of money from time to time.

I knew that she had brothers.

I'd met Asim Jabour
once, maybe twice before.

I assumed she'd told her
family what was happening

and they were happy for me to
leave her and take the boys,

but...

it seems they weren't.

So the brothers came here
to take the children back?

And take their revenge on me,
no doubt.

It's vital that the truth
about the boys' parentage

remain secret.

If it were to come out,
I don't have to tell you

it would damage their
prospects irreparably.

And your career, Father.

Let's not forget about that.

I'm trying to help you,
Charles.

The boys can pass for
English, Mr. Whicher.

You've seen them, haven't you?

And you thought they were mine?

Yes, ma'am.

Well, they feel like mine.

They aremine, really.

Is that everything?

Yes.

Yes, sir.

Setting aside the question
of who killed Asim Jabour,

it's safe to say the brother
will assume it's you.

I agree.

And it won't be long
before he comes for you.

- Oh, Lord.
- Then find him.

You seem to know
where these people lurk.

What do you think,
Mr. Whicher?

Are you prepared
to keep on looking?

Yes.

But there can't be
any more lies.

That's understood.

I need the truth,
from all of you.

Yes.

Katherine, I think you
and the boys should

come and stay with me
till this is over.

Charles?

Hmm?

Oh, yes.

What is it now, Mr. Whicher?

I'm sorry to disturb you so
late, only I have some news

about the two lascars
I was looking for.

Forgive me, but when I was here
last time,

I got the impression that
you might have seen them.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

I'm afraid the older
brother's dead, Father.

Dead?

He was found in the
river earlier this evening.

Now, I don't know if the
younger one knows already,

but if he doesn't,
he should be told.

And he needs to be told that
he's in danger, because he is.

Is he here, Father John?

No, he isn't.

But if I see him I'll try to
persuade him to speak to you.

Thank you.

I'll come back tomorrow,
if I may.

It's alright.

It's alright, I'm a friend.

Father John might have told you
my name.

No, go.
Go or I kill you.

I'm sorry about what
happened to your brother.

I promise you that whoever
killed him will be--

Shhh.
Shore will die.

Captain Shore is responsible?

He has killed my brother,
and he dishonours my sister.

Listen to me. I can help--

Whicher? Oh.

It's alright, it's alright.

It's not as bad as it looks.

Sister Claire,
run and fetch the nurse.

How did this happen?

Was it Roshan?

Is that his name?

I didn't think
he was capable of this.

He's desperate.

I need to get a message
to somebody.

I'll sort that out
in a minute.

It can't wait.

Was his brother here?

Yes, they came in
a few days ago.

But they only stopped
for one night.

The older brother
wanted to move on,

so I showed him the alley.

She's here, Father.

The message, Father John.

Yes, of course.

Mr. Whicher!

You've done this before.

I have.

You needn't worry.

I went to the Crimea.

I've seen a lot worse than this.

I help out here twice a week.

You're in luck.

I'm not normally here so late.

Thank you.

You've lost a lot of blood.

What you need now is
to lie down and rest.

I can't, I'm afraid.

I have to go.

I had a feeling
you'd say that.

Whicher.
I got your message.

Any sign?

No. Not yet.

It could've taken him
a while to cross London.

He's on foot.

He doesn't know the city.

Well, all the windows
are locked and shuttered.

If he tries to break in,
I'll hear him.

I don't think that's necessary.

If you don't want
to be here, go.

I didn't ask you to come.

I don't intend to use it,
but I'm gonna make this stop.

Do you have children?

- No.
- No.

So you can't understand
what it feels like

when someone tries
to take them from you.

They belong with me.

They're going to have
a better life with me.

It seems strange to me
that their mother

was so willing to give them up.

You don't understand
the first thing about it.

We were one of the first
regiments to arrive

in Cawnpore after the massacre.

Indians were stripping infants
before they

threw them down a well.

They burnt a school
with 20 children in it.

Barred all the doors
so no one could escape.

If a child tried to climb
from a window,

they picked them off.

Even as they screamed
and burnt.

I sometimes wonder if that's
why Katherine can't conceive.

She saw too much.

Why did you stay?

After the mutiny?

You said you wanted the truth.

The mutiny was our fault.

If you ride roughshod
over everything

that matters to people...

one day
they're gonna fight back.

You have no idea how much
I loved that country.

The freedom I felt...

...once I was clear
of the army.

Out there in the hills,
we lived like kings.

No one to censure us,

no one to...

disapprove.

I wake up some mornings
and I realise

I've been back there
in my dreams.

Lying in bed...

...Zeenat beside me.

Our large white bed.

The windows are open.

And the jasmine's coming in
on the air.

Kitchen.

Get some light on the place.

It's alright.

Put the knife down.

Put that knife down.

Roshan, it's alright.

Give it to me.

Whicher?

It's safe, he's not armed.

Oh, God!

What the hell are you doing?

Get me something
to stop the bleeding.

Captain Shore, move!

We need to get a doctor
fast, or he might die.

That's out of the question.
No one can know about this.

We can't just cover this up.

You need to go to Scotland Yard.

No, no, Father,
we had an agreement.

If this gets out, that's it.

Oh, for God's sake, Charles,
don't you think I know that?

- It was self-defence.
- It was point blank!

You could see he wasn't armed.

Sir Edward?

He shouldn't have broken in.

He was armed with a knife.

After everything
that has happened,

Charles' reaction
was understandable.

But I think we need to send
for a doctor.

- No.
- We've no choice.

Do you know anybody
who can be trusted?

Come in.
A boy has been shot.

He's in a bad way.

I see.

I can't explain.

The people concerned.

I just have to ask you
to trust me.

Show me where he is.

Just in here.

Mrs. Piper is a nurse.

She has experience
with bullet wounds.

Thank you for coming.

The bullet will have
to come out.

We'll need to boil some water.

We need cloths.

I have some bandages.

And light.

As much light as we can find.

Are you alright?

Will he live?

I don't know yet.

Would you be prepared
to sit with him?

- Yes.
- We're obliged.

We'll be downstairs,
should you have need of us.

What are his chances?

The bullet missed his heart
and lungs, that's something.

But his breathing is strained.

We should prop him up, can
you find me another pillow?

Yes, of course.

What are you doing in here?

We needed another pillow.

- Mrs. Piper.
- Charlotte.

Charlotte.
I have to go somewhere.

Can you stay with him?

Of course.

You can't leave him alone.

I won't leave him.

I know it's early, but I
need to speak to Miss Khan.

Miss Khan's gone.

Gone?

The maid heard the children
about half an hour ago

and went in to them.

The woman's gone.

Her things have gone.

What do you know about her?

How long has she worked
for the Gilbraiths?

They took her on
before they sailed.

Why?

I've just ordered a
check of the valuables.

She wouldn't have taken
anything.

Not from this house.

- Yes, can I help you?
- I need to speak to Mrs. Shore.

Mrs. Shore?

Wait!

You can't just barge in here.

- Mr. Whicher.
- Where are the children?

Which room?
- They're along there, why?

Why?
Mr. Whicher, what is it?

Mr. Whicher?

Oh, no.

No, but that's impossible,
they...

Where else can they be?

Mrs. Shore?

Is there anywhere else
they could be?

What on Earth's going on?

Mr. Whicher?

- The children are gone.
- Gone?

No, no, they must be
in the house somewhere.

I don't think so.

Mrs. Johnson,
kindly summon the staff

so that we can search the house.

- Of course, ma'am.
- Wait.

Tell them not to touch
any doors to the outside,

any windows.

Not until I've had a chance
to take a look myself.

I think you'll find the
house is quite secure.

Just tell them.

I think we need to send for
Sir Edward and your son.

Oh.

Who's been outside
this morning?

I don't know.

The kitchen maid was the
only one up apart from me,

it's possible
that she could've--

Ask her if she's been outside, please.

- She didn't go out.
- Right, thank you.

Kitchen, back to work.

When did you last see them,
Mrs. Shore?

Before I went to bed.

About 10:00.

I thought we'd be safe here.

Oh, God.

Oh, Charles.

He'll blame me for this.

He'll blame me for this,
as well.

Mr. Whicher?

It's been forced, hasn't it?

- Yes, it has.
- The catch was old,

and the wood's a little rotten.
We always meant to--

Georgina!

That's not possible.

They must be here somewhere.

Charles, there's no point.

The latch on one of the dining
room windows has been forced.

Mr. Whicher.

They left through
the back door.

The garden gate is open.
- That doesn't make sense.

- I only wish I'd heard him.
- Who?

The Indian, the one
you've been worrying about.

No, it can't be him.

He's at my house, he's been
at my house since last night.

Sir Edward, there's something
that I have to tell you.

- What is it?
- It's Zeenat.

She's in London.
I spoke to her.

Zeenat?

It was before you told me
the truth about the children.

She was working as a
governess for another family

under an assumed name.

When I went back to the house
this morning, she'd gone.

You bloody fool!

She must have been
watching us.

She must have seen us
move the children.

Oh, God.

- You useless bloody fool.
- Zeenat!

When did you realise this?

A few hours ago,
I saw her photograph

in the boys' bedroom.

Why didn't you tell us?

Because I didn't want her to go
the same way as her brothers.

Because I don't believe
you'll stop at anything.

Who the hell
do you think you are?

Charles!

You've cost us valuable time.

Whatever's wrong with your
head, it clouds your judgement.

This is exactly why I
threw you off the force!

My boys.

I lost them.
- If they're with their mother,

at least we know they
won't come to any harm.

That's something.
- You don't know that.

- I have to go to the docks.
- Charles, no!

You can't go asking around the
docks for a woman like her.

- I'll go to the docks.
- You?

You are not needed.

I know what she looks like,

and I know what the children
look like.

- Go, then.
- No!

If there's anybody else
I could turn to, I would.

I'm told the Cadogan
is the next ship

to sail for India.

Is she one of yours?
- She is.

She sails tomorrow at
three, all being well.

I'm looking for a woman.

She's travelling with two
children, they're very young.

There are no
children registered to travel.

Are you sure?

I was going through the list
earlier on.

Here's the manifest.
Only 24 passengers.

Almost all are soldiers,
certainly no children.

Alright.

I wondered if you'd seen
this lady before.

- No, sorry.
- Are you sure?

Sure.

No, sorry.

Sorry to trouble you.

Have you seen this lady?

Have you seen this lady?

Thank you.

Excuse me, I don't know
if you've seen this lady?

Haven't seen her.

Nothing.

The more I think about it,
the less likely it seems

that she would try
to get them on a ship.

Not yet, at least.

We should circulate their
description to every force.

That's absolutely impossible.

As soon as you do that,
questions will be asked.

The press will come
to hear of it and--

But we have to do it.

Don't we?

Well, surely it's better to get
them back,

even if people learn the truth.

I don't understand.

Papa, I thought you'd
come to care for them.

I've seen the way you are
with them.

Of course I care for them.

Caring for them
is beside the point.

How can you say that?

Sir Edward will not allow
the good name of this family

to be destroyed, his
career to be destroyed,

everything he's worked
for, everything we've--

I will not allow it to happen.

They're my flesh and blood.

How is he?

There's been no change.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I left you here
alone all day.

I'm quite alright.

They brought me up some food.

You should go home,
get some rest.

You're exhausted.

I had a boy.

His name was Jonathan.

After he was born,

my wife,
she was very low.

I never really knew why.

I don't think she did.

She was, uh--
she was a lovely girl.

I tried to make her happy.

I should have tried harder.

Much harder.

But, uh...

But I had just joined the force,

and I was working long hours
just trying to make my mark.

Trying to make a better life
for us.

Yes.

I came home one evening,
and, uh...

And they weren't there.

So I-I waited,
and, uh...

...then I went out
looking for them.

It's funny how you--

you think
you're going to find them,

that's something's going
to lead you to them,

some understanding, some love.

Some of the boys from the
Yard came out to help me look.

They found her...

They found her on the tracks.

The boy, he'd um...

He'd been thrown clear.

But the fall must have, um...

Must have killed him.

I'm sorry.

Don't.

It was just, um...

It was just the searching,
and--

Of course.

It's alright.

I don't want to cause
any trouble.

I just want my children.

The children?

The children aren't here.

Please don't lie to me.

Which room are they in?

They're my children, no
matter what you've been told.

Mrs. Shore, it's all
right, it's alright.

Where are my children,
Katherine?

Zeenat.

The children disappeared from

their grandparents' house
yesterday.

We thought it was you
that had taken them.

Roshan.

No.

It wasn't Roshan.

Zeenat, Roshan's been injured.

He's lying in that room
across the hall.

What?

Come with me
and I'll show you.

His pulse is strong.

I think he's gonna be alright.

I swear to God.

Tell me where my children are.

She doesn't know
where they are.

Put the gun down.

- What in God's name?
- Where are my children, Zeenat?

I don't know.
Why would I know?

You stole them from me!
- Who's got them?

- No one!
- Put the gun down, Charles.

Did you tell him he
could take the children?

No, I would never
have told him that.

Is that what he told you?

I didn't even know
he was leaving India.

He kept it from me.
- Shut up, shut up.

And then when I realised
at the last moment,

he locked me in a cellar.

He didn't even let me
say goodbye.

Is this true?

So you sent your
brothers to hunt me down?

I couldn't stop them.

You dishonoured me.

You know what this means
to my family.

No!
- I swear to God I'll do it.

Tell me where they are!

She doesn't know
where they are.

- Stop this, Charles!
- Don't, Father!

Charles, you know what they
do to women in my village

whose husbands abandon them?

Did you really not care?

Asim expected me
to shut myself away,

never see the sun again.

Is that really
what you wanted for me?

Husband?

You're married?

- No.
- Yes, we're married.

It wasn't a marriage!

He followed me back
to my village,

he begged my father for my hand.

It wasn't a marriage!

You stood there in
front of all those people,

in front of Allah,
and you made vows.

Do you really think
my father would just

let me go to you
like a prostitute?

You loved me.

You love me.

Where are my children, Zeenat?

And when he brought
her out from England,

I let her share our lives.

And then I let her share
our children.

And this-- this is how
you repay me?

Well, now I know.

You have no honour.

No honesty.

You're a liar...

and a coward.

Charles, wait!

For God's sake,
you were a soldier.

To aim your gun
at a defenceless woman--

I wasn't going to fire,
and I was never a soldier!

That was your dream, remember?

I thought I had reached
the limits for shame

I could feel on your account.

Oh, really?
I think your shame is boundless.

Who else could
have taken the children?

- No one.
- She must

have had someone with her.
- There isn't anyone.

- Another brother.
- No!

She told me the truth.

Even now, even after
everything I've done.

It might have been
what Katherine wanted,

but it was me who took
her children from her.

Me who locked her
in that cellar.

I'm paying for it now.

I'm paying for it now.

I've been trying
to work out who else

could have possibly got
the children from the house

without any kind of commotion.

Those poor children.

They must be very frightened.

Very confused.

Yes.

Did you see this?

They were obviously happier
in India.

They belong there.

Perhaps whoever took them...

...thought they were doing
what was best for them.

They have a mother
who loves them,

who's risked her life
to be with them.

We'll have to go to the police.

If I go directly to
Commissioner Mayne--

How can we?
We can't.

There's no need.

I know where the children are,

because I took them.

Mrs. Johnson knows a
woman who said she would

take them to India for me.

To an orphanage, a very
good orphanage, apparently,

where there are lots
of children like them.

How many times did I write
and tell you

not to bring them here?

They don't belong
in this family.

Those boys may look
white enough now,

but who's to say what they'll
look like in 10 years' time?

You and Katherine might still
have children of your own,

have you thought of that?

What a burden those boys
would be to you then.

Where are my grandchildren,
Georgina?

The woman's taking them
to France

and sailing on from there.

They're getting a train
to Dover.

At what time?

7:00.

James, William!

William, James!

Boys!

Come here.

- James, William!
- Mama!

Oh, my boys.

I missed you.

Boys?

We missed you.

No.

Zeenat?

Yes?

If you'll agree
to return to India,

we'll pay you a monthly sum.

You don't have to return
to your village,

you can write to the boys
as often as you like.

After everything
that has happened,

you think you can buy
my children from me?

No, no.

No, we just have to find a
way to put this behind us.

For the boys' sake,
get on with our lives.

That won't be possible.

Not yet.

There's a body in the morgue.

There's a young man
lying upstairs,

shot through the chest.

Charles, I'm going to have
to take you to Scotland Yard.

What?

Papa?
- You're not serious.

I didn't kill Asim Jabour.

Then you can mount a defence.

But I think, and I'm
sure Mr. Whicher agrees,

that there are charges
to be answered.

We cannot set ourselves
above the law.

Papa, Papa, please.

He has to account
for what he's done.

- Charles--
- It's alright.

I've made my mistakes,
God knows.

If only you'd shown a
little more faith in me.

Sent me up some money
when I needed it.

The business wasn't dead,
it wasn't.

Not yet.
I could've started again.

And failed again.

That's all you see when
you look at me, isn't it?

A failure.

Go and say goodbye
to your boys.

We'll go to the Yard together.

Forgive me, but I
thought you'd want to know.

Roshan is awake.

Your shoulder.

Sorry.

It's fine.

It will be fine.

Captain Shore,
he's going to be arrested

for what he did to you.

And under suspicion of
murdering your brother.

There will be justice.

Mr. Whicher.

Charles didn't kill Asim.

Why do you say that?

I met my brothers
at the docks.

It was the night we
planned to take the boys.

But then Asim said
something, and I realised

he was going to...

He was going to kill Charles.

Pratihinsa.

We were on the quay,
we were arguing.

Asim was shaking me, Roshan
was trying to pull him off.

I don't know where the men
came from.

One of them hit Asim
with something heavy.

The others tried to grab
Roshan, but he ran away.

I managed to hide.

I saw them take Asim's money,

and then they took
his gold amulet.

The one he wore always
around his neck.

Then they pushed him
into the water.

One of the men, I saw his face.

I knew him from the ship,
a sailor.

Can you describe him to me?

Red hair.

He had red hair.

Here!

- Scotland Yard.
- Sir Edward.

I'll see that the man
is arrested.

There may be other evidence
against him.

With luck,
you may not have to testify.

Thank you.

You should have gone
to the police at once.

How could I, without making...

We didn't come here
for any of this.

Sir Edward, that only leaves
the matter of the shooting.

I want.

I forgive.

Hmm?

I forgive.

He wants what I want,
nothing more.

I should never have
forced him to come back.

When the business failed, I
told him if we didn't go home

I'd go alone.

Threatened him with scandal.

I just wanted...

...a fresh start.

Without her.

A chance to be a normal family.

That's understandable.

Now I've lost everything.

Do you believe in life
after death, Mr. Whicher?

I wish I could.

The police have charged
the ship's carpenter.

They found the weapon
he used to strike Asim.

And they found this.

They want to know
if you can identify it.

Asim.

I should've tried
to pull him out.

I should've called for help.

Should've done something
more, but I was too afraid.

None of this is your fault.

Don't take guilt
upon yourself.

It's a heavy weight to carry.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Whicher,
for everything.

I shall never forget
your kindness.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Are you going
to the Strangers' Home?

Yes, for a few hours.

The money's where you
left it, Mr. Whicher.

I didn't allow myself
to become involved

in something so dubious in
the hope of financial gain.

I know that, I know.

It just didn't seem right
that I should be paid

and you shouldn't.

Mrs. Piper.

If you'd like me to give notice,

if you'd rather I left,
I understand.

You must-- You must do
what you want to do.

Now, darlings.

Now, you're going to go on
a very exciting adventure.

Come here.

I love you both.

Come with me.

Go and wait over there.

Come along, boys.

Take care.

Goodbye, Grandpapa!

I wonder if I'll ever
see them again.

I'll pay for their schooling.

Charles will visit, and
when they're old enough,

they'll decide
where they want to be.

I think you've seen us at
our worst, Mr. Whicher.

It's been a difficult time
for everyone.

You were wrong, you know,
about Commissioner Mayne.

I've never heard anyone speak
so highly about any officer.

After the business in Wiltshire,

he thought you would recover,
given time.

Suggested you be given
another chance.

It was I.

I needed a scapegoat.

Government always does.

Come and see me on Monday,
and we'll see about

getting your job back
on the force.

They need men like you.

No, sir.

Thank you.

But I think I work best
on my own.

Thank you, Charlotte.

Survivors.
