Original subtitles

Ah.

Taylor?

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

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

Here, have mine.

What do you think Freud would say about this pen?

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

That is fabulous.

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

That was nice.

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

of work.

We're very late.

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

Hey, it's about time.

Sorry we're late.

You missed the screening.

Send us the tape.

Ha, ha, ha, bitch.

Ha, ha, ha, brat.

Lovely.

Okay.

Shirley!

Glad you could make it.

Whoa, are those new? Of course, darling.

Ah, Mr. Rice.

Merry Christmas.

William Harris, victory agent.

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

She's a fascinating new writer. So enjoy.

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

Really? You must show them to me sometime.

Thank you.

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

Absolutely. I see that.

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

Except that Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story.

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

Yeah.

Well.

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

Is there a part in your future for me?

For an actress of your calibre?

Of course.

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

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

Andrew! William?

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

Boy, I don't.

I only just met him today.

Quite a nice bloke.

For a yank.

That's what he keeps telling me.

They want the advance back, Andrew.

What?

Why?

It's been a year.

A whole year.

And no book.

Not even an outline.

There is a book.

It's just not done yet.

Andrew.

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

Andrew.

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

What could be wrong, huh?

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

For God's sake, Jason.

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

English by now.

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

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

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

Come on.

Take a drink.

Chill out.

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

the second book, right?

Yeah. Come on, Andy.

Everyone gets blocked now and again.

How long has it been?

A whole year.

How many pages?

Oh, shoot.

And now the publisher wants the advance back.

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

Don't worry, my sister's loaded.

So she keeps reminding me.

I'd like to help you, bro.

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

fortune to my oh-so-sensible stepsister.

I wouldn't take it if you could.

But I appreciate the offer.

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

That's what I keep telling everyone.

The loo.

Upstairs, love. At the end of the hall.

Get your own room.

Alright.

You okay to drive?

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

Andy, about the book.

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

Inspiration comes from the strangest places.

Drive safe.

Sometimes I wish I could start over.

Page one, rewrite.

But it's different with your life.

Andy!

Yes,

love? I need more water.

Right, sure.

Let's imagine a lipstick.

One that blossoms with color.

And shines with light and moisture.

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

I was really something, wasn't I?

You still are.

What time is it?

Almost time for your appointment with Dr. Grant.

Lovely.

More poking and prodding.

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

doctor.

Of course, things have changed a little since then.

Someone is that?

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

Maybe you should cut down a little.

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

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

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

Lie nice and straight there.

That's right.

Keep very careful.

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

see.

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

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

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

least be able to move your lower extremities.

You think I'm faking it?

No. I didn't say that.

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

What do you mean?

A problem may be psychosomatic.

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

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

Is there anything else we can do?

Will you consider alternative medicine?

I'm not trying any voodoo shit.

Say one thing for you, Inglis.

You know how to brew a beer.

In this is Irish, you twat.

Oh, excuse me.

Everything okay at home?

Can we talk about something else, please?

Come on, it could be worse.

How exactly?

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

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

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

-law. Well, that'll be why.

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

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

You want us to go on vacation?

Oh!

Wanker!

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

Not a vacation.

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

Ayurveda treatment centers.

They use herbal massage oils, all natural stuff.

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

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

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

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

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

How? You know how much she likes attention?

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

Well, it would be great for her ego.

And it would be good for you, too.

Get those creative juices flowing again.

How long are you going to stay here?

Three or four weeks.

Hey.

Yes, sir.

Is there something wrong? No, no, no.

Lily Taylor, from the power and the passion.

Welcome to Kerala. Oh, thank you very much.

I'm Bashir. Bashir Ahmed.

Welcome.

Please, for me.

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

This way, please. Okay.

Sir Bashir, how do you know Jake?

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

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

Find a certain location.

I provided a guide.

In other words... You handled everything.

Exactly.

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

backwaters. Is that what you call this place?

The backwaters? Yes.

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

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

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

Honey?

Thank you, Bashir. It's all right.

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

The rooms are on the right.

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

the cleaner.

Ah, there's no phone aboard.

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

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

You've been a great help this year.

Don't know how to thank you.

It's the least I could do.

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

You must be jet-lagged.

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

Don't worry, ma'am.

We'll have you on your feet very soon.

I'll believe it when I see it.

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

hundreds of years.

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

body and spirit.

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

Yes, come madam, please.

We are very happy to have...

Such an honored celebrity as yourself.

Join us here, at the center.

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

Andy, I can't come here.

But, honey, you need your therapy.

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

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

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

Another arrangement would be more suitable.

Say, private sessions on your houseboat.

Now that's more like it.

What's this about?

I've no idea.

Greetings. Hello, sir.

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

Sorry? Me too. Bad joke.

I'm Suresh Mannan, head of police.

Hi, I'm Andy Becker.

And this is my wife, Lily.

Of course.

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

in your honor.

What function?

Oh, I forgot.

I was just about to tell you.

It's an invitation.

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

Troupe at the hotel.

The word is out that you're here.

It's going to be a media circus.

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

Of course.

Right, we need to find something to wear.

Abhirami.

Suresh.

I am at the end. Do you hear me?

At the end of my patient.

Abhirami. Do not Abhirami me.

Not today.

Do you know what she got on her last exam?

B minor.

That is one step above a sea.

Lakshmi.

Daddy.

Did you meet her?

You did, didn't you?

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

She... Be mine.

It's just math, Daddy.

It's not like it's anything important.

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

Chaya.

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

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

A what? A correspondent for Entertainment Tonight.

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

of money.

It's perfect.

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

Can I go?

Not unless your mother suddenly loses grip of her faculties.

Tell you what.

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

autograph.

Deal. Deal.

So, how goes the great English novel?

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

Want to be useful?

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

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

you not while i'm in this fucking wheelchair morning

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

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

assure you.

Very pleased to meet you, Miss Taylor.

Please, it's Lily.

I'll

set

it.

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

I think I'll go for a walk.

Try not to get lost, will you?

I hate to have to go home without you.

Huh?

Is someone there?

No, everything seems fine, I guess.

Her treatment's begun.

How is she?

Her usual self.

Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh, I ran into your agent.

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

Yeah, must have slipped my mind.

Yeah, sure.

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

Jason.

Hey, Brett.

Hey, bitch.

Lovely.

Look, mate, gotta go.

I'll speak to you next week, okay?

Peace.

That's all

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

Performing it was Sarah Verghese.

Let's give her another round of applause.

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

honor. I now invite Miss Lily Taylor on stage.

Hello, madam.

Madam, this is my wife, Kamala.

A big fan of yours. Ah, lucky girl.

She gets a professional back rub whenever she wants.

Well, move back, everybody.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Would you mind, please?

Oh, God.

That is old. Where did you find this?

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

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

Lakshmi Menon.

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

Miss Taylor.

Lily. How do you like Kerala?

It's God's own country.

Are you still working on the power and the passion?

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

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

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

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

How did the accident happen?

I don't really know. I was asleep.

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

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

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

Oh, no.

Don't thank me.

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

wheelchair looking for miracles.

Come on, Andy. Take a bow.

At least one of us can.

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

Please clear the area.

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

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

Yes, I was driving the fucking car.

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

Jesus Christ, Andy, it was an accident.

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

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

I fucked up, I admit it.

How many times do you want me to say it?

Until it doesn't hurt anymore.

Reverie. Sorry, what?

That's what the painting is called.

Oh, I see.

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

own facial features on his female subjects.

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

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

woman he painted.

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

Where's your wife?

At home.

I mean, on the boat.

Having her therapy.

Oh.

So, uh, do you come here often?

Oh, God, that sounds like such a line.

No, you sounded very sincere.

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

My name's Andrew. Andrew.

My name's...

You were fantastic last night.

Thank you.

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

The art, the culture.

It's all so fascinating.

You live in London?

Leicester. It's near London.

It's nice, but nothing like this.

This place has a soul all on its own.

God's own country.

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

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

She hates tea.

This is amazing, what is it?

Perhaps it's better you don't know.

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

idli.

Now that's just mean.

I was brought up in an orphanage. An orphanage?

That must have been hard.

Not as bad as you think.

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

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

Don't.

No parents, no family.

Can't have been easy.

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

are. You sound like a fortune cookie.

Are you making fun of me?

Me?

Never. Now that's just mean.

Where the hell have you been all day?

I'm for a walk.

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

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

Calm down.

I was just curious.

Take a look at this.

Buckle me.

Give me time.

Hi, Daddy.

Have a seat. It's just getting good.

Charlie, we've spoken about this.

Your mother does not wish you to watch TV.

Who's getting arrested?

Kelly Brock's boyfriend.

What did he do?

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

How?

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

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

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

debt. What debt?

I love this weather.

Never see the bloody sun in England.

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

Are you hungry?

Yeah.

Madam, I see your legs are getting more sensitive.

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

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

Soon, madam.

You'll be up and running.

That'll be the day.

This is my favorite place in the whole world.

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

Then I must be intruding.

Not if you are in my thoughts.

God, you're beautiful.

I'm

married.

I know.

Nor am I.

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

I have a three o'clock with a client.

Very important, huh?

The TV star, huh?

What did you like?

A bit snooty, but she's all right.

Rajan says the tissues are healing well.

Really?

Rajan says I'll soon be up and running.

That's great, honey.

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

No. Not at all.

What's wrong?

Are you serious?

Six months, Lil.

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

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

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

keep your voice down.

Why?

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

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

bleeding smashed out of your mind.

Hello? Yeah, I know it.

Um, okay.

See you there in half an hour.

Oh.

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

So, who is she?

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

life back home?

You really are pathetic.

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

Sure you don't.

Yeah, go on, go.

Go off to your little brown whore.

Just remember, who pays your bills around here?

Why?

He was angry. This is not the first time.

He knows about me.

Someone saw us together.

Eventually the story got back to him.

Where is he now?

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

How long has this been going on?

Soon after my marriage.

Five months ago he came to my orphanage.

And asked the matron for my hand.

Said he had seen me dance.

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

An outcast, an orphan.

I wish he was like you.

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

Have you seen Lily?

Of course.

She's right in front of me.

On the monitor.

I'm editing the footage from the press conference.

There's no time to be funny.

She's missing from the boat.

How?

Mr. Andy is here.

He would like to speak to you.

Talk.

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

This afternoon, as usual.

Why do you ask?

How was her progress?

Can she walk now?

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

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

No, sir.

Why?

Is something wrong?

She's missing.

Mr. Becker, please do not mind my asking.

But it is a procedure to inquire in such cases.

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

Something that might make her run away?

Officer, she was in a wheelchair.

She couldn't run away.

Yes, of course.

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

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

for 24 hours.

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

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

Thank you. We'll do our best.

Good evening.

Is Thomas in?

No, he left this morning on his fishing boat.

When will he be back?

Perhaps tomorrow.

When he gets back, tell him to call Rajan.

It's urgent.

Sir, dinner.

Oh, thank you.

I'm not really hungry.

Hello. Just a minute.

Dresha.

Phone on.

Hello.

Okay.

I'll be there.

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

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

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

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

This entire area is now crime scene.

Nobody can touch anything until we finish our investigation.

What is her name?

Thomas Vargas.

Constable, take his statement. Yes, sir.

Stop.

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

She could have drowned.

No way.

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

to shore.

Not if she wasn't fully in her senses.

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

Was she drinking that afternoon?

Officer, she drank every afternoon.

It was her way of dealing with her pain.

I'm so sorry, Mr. Becker.

Here's the receipt for the jewelry.

I'll report anything that I find.

I'll call you to take them.

I'll be on the next available flight.

Hang in there, bro.

No water in her lungs.

What does that mean?

It means she did not fall off the boat.

She was dead before she hit the water.

Dead by strangulation.

Who would want to kill her?

Robbery is the most obvious motive.

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

missing, we have to rule that out.

Then what could it be?

Do you watch TV, Mr. Becker?

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

You have an insurance policy on your wife, right?

What are you implying, officer?

A large insurance settlement?

Sounds like a good motive to me.

You're sick.

I would never hurt my wife.

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

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

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

walk.

Can somebody confirm that?

No, I wanted to be alone.

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

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

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

Walk where?

Did you stop and buy something?

Talk to someone?

Give me something, man.

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

I was with someone.

A woman?

Yes.

Sarah, the dancer from the hotel the other night.

She can confirm we were together.

For your sake, Mr. Becker.

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

What body?

You're Sarah.

That's right.

Sarah Vergas, my wife.

Can I come in?

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

You never told me.

Mrs. Vergas, perhaps it would be better.

If I spoke to your wife alone.

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

All right.

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

I have seen him.

Did you see him day before yesterday?

No.

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

Is that so?

Yes.

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

Mr. Becker, did you kill your wife?

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

Will Mr.

Becker be charged with murder?

We are still investigating the case.

He's a British citizen.

Will Cotland Yard be involved?

We have their full cooperation.

Although this case is completely under Indian jurisdiction.

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

arrested today on suspicion of murder.

This is what he had to say.

Why did you kill her?

I didn't. I'm innocent.

This is Antara Bhardwaj reporting from Ellope for CITV.

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

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

You're fine. How was your journey?

It was long. It was long, but good.

Look, I'm really sorry about Miss Haley.

Where's Annie?

They have, uh, liberated her.

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

made the world a global village.

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

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

connected with the rest of the world.

And what exactly is your point?

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

His lawyers are threatening to sue.

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

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

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

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

What is to say that you did not hire?

What, you see that on TV too?

It's absurd.

I'll be back.

Can I help you?

Hello,

I'm Suresh Mannan.

Sorry about your sister. Thank you.

Please come.

Welcome, Condor.

Come in, please.

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

He's being held for questioning.

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

No charge.

He's only a suspect.

Andy is a British citizen.

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

A crime was committed on Indian soil.

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

charge. This is crazy.

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

Fine.

I'll speak to the British consulate.

Please, be my guest.

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

Sure.

Constable, body release form.

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

you

be taking her back to England no We'll have the funeral here me and Andy were

her only living relative to none.

She didn't have many friends back home Will you need some

help With the funeral arrangements?

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

Mr.

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

his passport.

Thank you.

Don't thank me yet.

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

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

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

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

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

with your discussion and your holy life.

Almighty God, bless all of us, those who have participated in this ceremony to

honor this person.

May the grace and the eternal mercy of the God abide in you and guide you to

eternal life forever and ever.

Amen. Amen.

Amen.

Thank you, Bashir.

Thank you.

I'm so very sorry, Mr. Beggar.

Thank you.

I was afraid to lose my job.

There is something you must know.

Please meet me tonight at 8, Alapooza Beach.

Come alone.

Wait there.

What's wrong, Daddy?

Nothing, darling.

Daddy just had a long day.

How was yours?

I read Lily's obituary on her fan site.

That's all she does.

Surf the net or watch TV.

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

to a very wealthy father.

He left her mother when Lily was five.

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

mother's suicide.

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

Yeah.

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

Suresh, do as I say.

She's right.

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

Step-brother?

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

Good job, Lakshmi.

Someday you will make a great entertainment correspondent.

Oh, my God.

I don't understand.

What are you trying to say?

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

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

Well, what shall I do?

Go to the police?

Great idea, Andy.

Jenny!

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

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

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

Christ, Christ.

Shit, shit.

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

Tonight. Get that shirt off.

But the police have my passport.

Did anyone see you at the beach?

No, I don't think so.

Then you were never there.

Look, the nearest British consulate is in Chennai.

I'll go there and get help.

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

Thanks, Jay.

Go back to the boat.

Lay low and wait for me to call.

Come on.

You're going to be fine.

Calm down, sister.

Please.

Calm down. Please.

Rajan would not hurt a fly.

Why would anyone want to kill him?

Why? Please.

Relax.

Your husband was the last one to see Miss Taylor.

He knew something about her death.

No, he wasn't.

Wasn't what?

The last one to see her.

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

He said he found someone to replace him that afternoon.

So he could surprise me.

Do you know who substituted for him?

He never said.

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

Madam had already dismissed us. I saw him.

I was the last one to leave.

Good afternoon, madam.

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

He had a family emergency.

Madam, will you be needing anything else?

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

Do you know who he was?

Never seen him before.

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

They think I killed her.

I know.

You know I'm innocent.

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

I can't. This is my life.

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

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

done.

He used me.

I don't understand.

Was it all just an act?

At first.

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

what to believe anymore.

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

Tell me!

This was a mistake. I have to go.

You went to meet him, didn't you?

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

You bitch!

I didn't ask you to fuck him.

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

And only a trained martial artist could do that.

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

Right.

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

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

How could I set up something so elaborate?

I've never even been to India.

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

What documentary?

Never.

Rewind, rewind.

Stop.

Isn't it curious?

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

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

husband.

When was this documentary shot?

It has been almost two years.

But Mr.

Jason visited again a few months ago to meet Thomas.

It's Jason.

Where is he now?

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

It's about time we paid Thomas a visit.

It seems that we are too late. Damn it.

They've probably flown away by now.

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

I had a hunch about Jason.

Yeah?

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

Hey, I'll put up all the check.

Regum!

Sarah?

Hello?

Hello?

How long before we reach Cochin?

He's there before nightfall.

They must be somewhere in the backwaters.

Let's go.

What are you waiting for?

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

You have to let me come.

It won't be safe.

They killed my wife.

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

dumped in the river like rubbish.

What if it was your wife?

Okay. Go.

I saw the police report of your accident.

Your driving license was suspended because they found traces of

benzodiazepine in your bloodstream.

Benzodiazepine?

It was not an accident.

It was attempted murder.

The strong sedative put you to sleep.

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

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

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

away with it.

This is Radio 23.

Maynard, sir, come in. Yes.

Lock them. We're right behind you.

Raju, we're going to the market.

We're going to the market.

Stop the alarm.

What the fuck?

Turn it around.

Get it, man!

Okay.

Yes, and why you're under the red

That

old bastard gave her everything just she was his

blood I got nothing

Andrew, it's William.

Just finished reading the pages.

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

Can't wait to see the rest.

Knew you could do it, old chap.

Never doubted you for a second.

They say life is stranger than fiction.

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

my next mystery novel.

I called it Backwaters.

Are you done yet?

Actually... I'm just getting started.

You comfort me You take my

soul

a sunny day looking for

sunny day.
