(mysterious chanting)
(rhythmic music)
- Miss Taylor.
Hi, I'm such a huge fan, I watch your soap every day.
Do you think you could-- - Oh, of course.
I'm sorry I don't seem to have a pen.
- Here, have mine.
- Ah.
What do you think Freud would say about this pen?
- Nothing you haven't said a dozen times already.
- That is just 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 the little tart'll be auditioning
to put me out of work.
(gentle Christmas music)
- We're very late.
- Well it's not my fault is it.
- I know, I know.
- Oh good evening ma'am, good evening sir.
May I take your coat please?
- Hey, it's about time.
- Sorry we're late.
- You missed the screening.
- Send us a tape.
- Ha ha ha, bitch.
- Ha ha ha, brat.
- Ooh! - Ee!
- Lovely!
- Oh God.
Shirley!
Glad you could make it.
Whoa are those new?
- Of course darling.
- Oh, Mr Weiss.
Merry Christmas.
William Harris, literary agent.
- Oh Merry Christmas.
This is Shirley--
- Firman, hello. - Firman.
She's a fascinating new writer.
- Oh! - So enjoy.
- Okay, thank you.
I've got a couple of nice projects in development.
- Really.
You must show them to me sometime.
- Thank you.
- I see it as a kind of political Romeo and Juliet you know.
- Absolutely, I see that.
- I just think it's a story that hasn't been done before.
- Except as 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.
(tense music)
So, is there a part in your feature for me?
- For an actress of your caliber, of course.
- They say soaps are the breeding ground
for future film stars you know.
Think Demi Moore, Angelina Jolie--
- Not to mention Lili Taylor.
- Andrew!
- William?
Didn't realize you knew my brother-in-law.
- Oh I don't.
I only just met him today.
He's quite a nice bloke, for a Yank.
- That's what he keeps telling me.
- They want the advance back Andrew.
- What?
Why?
- Well 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.
- Oh 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.
- Stop!
- What could be wrong, huh?
- What's up bro, what's the dilly yo 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, anti-social?
- Well I was gonna 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 block now and again.
How long's it been?
- A whole year.
- How many pages?
Oh shit.
- 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?
- [Woman] Upstairs love, at the end of the row.
- Oi, get your own room.
- Sorry.
All I need's a fucking pee.
(breathing heavily)
(tense music)
(groaning with pleasure)
(gentle music)
- Okay.
Way to hold your liquor sis.
I got you, I got.
Watch your head, watch your head.
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.
(upbeat music)
(tense music)
(horn blasting)
(car brakes screeching)
(downbeat music)
- [Andy Voiceover] Sometimes I wish I could start over.
Page one rewrite.
But it's different with your life.
- [Lili] Andy!
(gentle music)
- 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've quite liked being poked
by a handsome young doctor.
Of course things have change a little since then.
(tense music)
- How many's that?
- Maybe six, maybe 12, 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 busload of children.
- I said I was sorry.
- Oh well, that's all better then, isn't it!
Get out!
(tense music)
- Just lie nice and straight there.
That's right, keep very still.
- 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?
- Her problem may be psychosomatic.
It's the human body's reaction to shock,
resulting in psychologically induced paralysis.
- I'm not gonna see a bloody shrink.
- Is there anything else we can do?
- Will you consider alternative medicine?
- I'm not trying any voodoo shit.
- Keep the change.
I'll say one thing for you English.
You sure know how to brew a beer.
- Guinness is Irish, you twat.
- Oh excuse me.
Everything okay at home?
- Can we talk about something else please?
- Oh 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 offense mate, but a vacation's the last thing
I can afford right now
- It's 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 had suggested
alternative medicine.
- She'll never go for it.
- Then persuade her.
- How?
- You know how much she likes attention.
Her soap's playing in India, she's a star there.
- Well it would be great for her ego.
- And it'll be good for you too.
Get those creative juices flowing again.
(gentle music)
- Next!
How long are you going to stay here?
- Three or four weeks.
- Hey!
- [Man] Yes sir.
(speaking in foreign language)
- Is there something wrong?
- No no no.
Lili Taylor, from The Power and the Passion.
Welcome to Kerala.
- Oh thank you very much.
- Hi I'm Basheer, Basheer Ahmed.
Welcome.
- Pleased to meet you.
My brother-in-law told me all about you.
- This way please. - Oh great.
So Basheer, how do you know Jason?
- 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 banks,
home to thousands of my people.
- It's beautiful, isn't it honey.
Honey?
(gentle music)
(speaking in foreign language)
Thank you Basheer.
- It's all right.
- [Andy] Okay honey.
(groaning)
(sweeping music)
- It's beautiful.
- 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 Basheer.
Don't know how to thank you.
- It's the least I could do.
Mr Jason took good care of us when he was here.
You must be jet-lag.
Tomorrow we 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.
(gentle music)
- 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.
Through the proper regime, the result can be nothing
short 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 Basheer says
these people are the best.
- Madam.
We have full contingent of licensed masseuses on the staff.
- Yes I know but--
(clears throat)
- Perhaps another arrangement would be more suitable?
Say, private sessions on your houseboat.
- Now that's more like it.
- What's this about?
- I have no idea.
- [Policeman] Greetings.
- Hello sir.
- Officer.
- If this is about those speeding tickets, I can explain.
- Sorry?
- Me too, bad joke.
- I'm Suresh Menon, head of police.
- Hi I'm Andy Becker.
And this is my wife Lili.
- Of course, hi.
The hotel has requested us to make security arrangements
for the function in your honor.
- What function?
- 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 me something to wear.
(upbeat music)
(speaking in foreign language)
- Suresh!
I am at the end, do you hear me?
At the end of my patience.
(speaking in foreign language)
- Do not (speaking in foreign language) me.
Not today.
Do you know what she got on her last exam?
B minus.
That is one step above a C.
(loud techno music)
- Daddy!
Did you meet her?
You did, didn't you.
Was she funny, smart and wonderful, just like on TV?
- She.
B minus?
- It's just math Daddy.
It's not like it's anything important.
- Oh math is um, math is extremely important.
Without it there would be no scientists,
no engineers, no doctors.
- But I don't wanna 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.
Lili's gonna be at the performance tomorrow night, right.
- Mm.
- 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?
- Well I'm trying but it's no use.
- Wanna be useful.
Fix us another 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.
(tense music)
- Can we ever have a conversation without you insulting me?
- Not while I'm in this fucking wheelchair.
- Morning.
I hope I'm not interrupting.
I am Rajan Nair from Ayurveda Center.
- Right hi, I'm Andy.
And this is my wife Lili.
- She needs no introduction, I assure you.
Very pleased to meet you Miss Taylor.
- Please, it's Lili.
(speaking in foreign language)
- 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.
- Mm.
Try not to get lost will you.
I'd hate to have to go home without you.
(gentle music)
(water gushing loudly)
(uplifting music)
- 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've slipped my mind.
- Yeah sure.
(car horn blasting)
- Come on Andy let's go.
Basheer is here.
Who you talking to?
- Jason.
- Hey brat!
- Hey bitch!
- Lovely.
Look mate gotta go.
I'll speak to you next week, okay.
- Peace.
(rhythmic Indian music)
(singing in foreign language)
- That was Mohiniattam.
The Dance of the Celestial Enchantress.
Performing it was Sara Varghese.
Let's give her another round of applause.
We have a lot of media colleagues here with us,
eager to meet our guest of honor.
I now invite Miss Lili Taylor onstage.
(applause)
- Hello madam.
Madam this is my wife Kamla.
A big fan of yours.
- Ah, lucky girl.
She gets a professional back rub whenever she wants.
(laughing)
- Move back everybody.
Good evening, good evening.
Would you mind please?
- God, that is old, where did you find this?
- Eh, from a fan site on the internet.
My daughter did.
- Ah.
Who shall I make it out?
- To my daughter, Laxmi Menon.
L-A-X-M-I.
(applause)
- Miss Taylor. - Oh Lili.
- [Woman] 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.
(laughing)
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 longer dance.
(downbeat music)
- [Man] 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.
(glass shatters)
- Yes I was driving the fucking car!
Are you going to hold it over my head
for the rest of my life?
Jesus Christ Lili 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?
(downbeat music)
- Until it doesn't hurt anymore.
(gentle music)
- [Woman] 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.
But 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, Andy.
- My name's Sara.
(gentle music)
- 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 of its own.
- God's own country.
- [Man] Attention all visitors,
the museum is closing in five minutes.
- I was going to get a cup of tea.
I don't suppose--
- What about your wife?
- She hates tea.
(upbeat music)
This is amazing, what is it?
- Perhaps it's better you don't know.
(laughs)
No, I'm just kidding.
It's steamed rice cakes with coconut chutney.
It's called idlis.
- Now that's just mean.
(gentle music)
- [Sara] I was brought up in an orphanage.
- An orphanage?
That must've 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--
- Still, 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!
(tense music)
- Where the hell have you been all day?
- I went 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.
(upbeat music)
- Bugger me!
- Give me time.
- Laxmi.
- Oh hi Daddy, have a seat.
It's just getting good.
- Darling we've spoken about this.
Your mother doesn't wish you to watch TV.
Who's getting arrested?
- Kelly Brock's boyfriend.
- What, 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.
- Laxmi, 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 debts.
- What, what debts?
- I love this weather.
Never see the bloody sun in England.
- We should trade places, I would love to see snow.
Ah!
(tense music)
Are you hungry?
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
- Madam.
I see your legs are getting more sensitive.
Tissues will heal gradually as they soak 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.
(romantic music)
- 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.
(gentle music)
- God, you're beautiful.
But I'm married.
- I know.
So am I.
(rhythmic music)
(tense music)
(sticks hitting repeatedly)
(loud banging)
- You like to go another round?
- Oh I can't.
I've a three o'clock with a client.
Very important.
- That TV star eh?
What is she 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?
- Whoa, 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 'cause you got a little tingle below the waist
I'm supposed to jump back into the saddle
like none of that ever happened.
- Ssh, 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.
(phone ringing)
Hello?
What's the matter?
Yeah I know it.
Okay, see you there in half an hour?
(gentle music)
- So.
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?
Huh, 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.
(tense music)
- Rajan.
(whimpering)
- [Andy] My God.
What happened?
- My husband.
- 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 being 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.
(gentle music)
- Lil?
Lili!
Come on I know you're mad, but we need to talk.
Lil!
(tense music)
Thank you.
- Hello.
- Hi, it's Andy.
Have you seen Lili?
- Of course, she's right in front of me.
(laughing)
On the monitor.
I'm editing the footage from the press conference.
- This is no time to be funny.
She's missing from the boat.
(tense music)
Missing?
How?
- Mr Andy's 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's showing significant improvement.
- When you left her did she say anything to you?
- No sir, why.
Is something wrong?
- She's missing.
(tense music)
- 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.
(dramatic music)
- 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.
- [Man] Sir, dinner.
- Oh thank you.
I'm not really hungry.
(gentle music)
(speaking in foreign language)
(dramatic music)
(chanting quietly)
(phone ringing)
- Hello.
Just a minute.
Suresh.
- Hello.
Okay.
I'll be there.
Sudagir. - Yes sir.
- I want photographs from each and every angle.
- [Sudagir] Okay sir.
- Doctor. - Yes sir.
- How much time for a report? - 24 hours sir.
- When am I going to be able to get my fish out of the net?
We are to take the catch to the market right away.
- This entire area is now a crime scene.
Nobody can touch anything until we finish our investigation.
What is your name?
- Thomas Varghese.
- Constable, take a statement.
- Yes sir.
- Stop.
(dramatic music)
Maybe she tried to get up and walk.
And fell off the boat.
- She could've drowned.
- No way.
Lili was an excellent swimmer.
Even without her legs she could've 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 a receipt for the jewelry.
I'll report anything that I find.
- I've called Mr Jason.
(sighing)
- Hello?
(tense music)
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.
Death 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 three and 5:00 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 leave me no option
but to put you in a cell right this minute.
(tense music)
- I was with someone.
- A woman.
- Yes.
Sara.
The dancer from the hotel the other night.
She can confirm we were together.
- For your sake Mr Becker, I certainly hope so.
(dramatic music)
Aren't you the fisherman who pulled the body from the water?
- What body?
- You're Sara.
- That's right.
Sara Varghese, my wife.
- Can I come in?
Mrs Varghese, your husband caught Miss Lili Taylor's body
in his fishing net.
- You never told me!
- Mr Varghese, 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 Varghese, do you know Mr Andy Becker?
(dramatic music)
- I have seen him.
- Did you see him, day before yesterday?
- No.
The only time I saw him was at my dance performance.
- That's all?
- Yes.
- Oh, by the way.
Your dance performance was wonderful.
(tense music)
- [Woman] Mr Becker, did you kill your wife?
Why did you kill her?
- I didn't, I'm innocent.
- [Suresh] Mademoiselle wait a minute.
(talking over each other)
- [Man] Will Mr Becker be charged with murder?
- We are still investigating the case.
- [Man] He's a British citizen.
Will Scotland Yard be involved?
- We have their full cooperation
although this case is completely under Indian jurisdiction.
(talking over each other)
(tense music)
- And Andrew Becker, writer husband of famous star
Lili Taylor, of The Power and the Passion,
was arrested today on suspicion of murder.
This is what he had to say.
- [Woman] Why did you kill her?
- I didn't, I'm innocent.
- This is Anlara Bhardwoj,
reporting from Alleppey, for CITV.
- Huh, who would have thought
he would turn out to be a killer?
(tense music)
- [Basheer] Hello sir.
- Great to see you. - How are you?
- Good man, I'm good. - Shall I?
- No no no, you're fine, you're fine.
- How was the journey?
- It was long, it was long but good.
- Look I'm really sorry about Miss Taylor.
- Where's Andy?
- They have arrested him.
(tense music)
- In 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 we're a small town in the Backwaters,
but we are quite well-connected with rest of the world.
- And what exactly is your point?
- My point, Mr Becker 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 Sara at the time of the murder.
She only denied it because her husband was there.
- Let us suppose for a moment
that you are telling the truth.
What is to say that you did not hire
someone else to kill her?
- What, you see that on TV too?
It's absurd.
- Sir.
(speaking in foreign language)
- I'll be back.
Can I help you?
- Sir, this is Mr Jason.
Lili madam's brother.
He has just flown in from England.
- Hello, I'm Suresh Menon.
Sorry about your sister.
- Thank you.
- Please come.
(speaking in foreign language)
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 sign some documents.
Will you be taking her back to England?
- No.
We'll have the funeral here.
Me and Andy were her only living relatives and
she didn't have many friends back home.
- Will you need some help with the funeral arrangements?
- No, thank you sir.
Basheer's taking care of all that.
(speaking in foreign language)
- Mr Jason.
I can release Mr Becker 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.
- Can't tell you how glad I am to see you Jay.
- Okay.
(mournful music)
- [Man] Almighty God who, through the death
and the resurrection of you--
Amen.
- [All] Amen.
- Amen.
- I'm really sorry.
- Thank you Basheer.
- Thank you man.
- Thank you.
- I'm so very sorry Mr Becker.
- Thank you.
(tense music)
I was afraid to lose my job.
There is something you must know.
Please meet me tonight at eight, Alappuzha Beach.
Come alone.
- What is that?
- What's wrong Daddy?
- Nothing darling.
Daddy just had a long day.
How was yours?
- I read Lili's obituary on a fan site.
- That's all she does.
Surf the net or watch TV.
- Did you know that Lili Taylor was only a stage name?
She was born Veronica Weiss to a very wealthy father.
- Hmm.
- He left her mother when Lili 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
(speaking in foreign language)
Suresh.
(speaking in foreign language)
- She's right.
- Her father married an American woman.
She has a step-brother named Jason.
- Step-brother?
- Yep, she made up with the father,
just before he passed away two years ago.
- Good job Laxmi.
Some day you will make a great entertainment correspondent.
(waves crashing on shore)
(very tense music)
(repeated cracking)
- Rajan, oh my God.
(gasping)
I don't understand, what are you trying to say?
(groaning)
Oh God.
Oh my God.
(dramatic music)
Jay.
- What the fuck happened to you?
- 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.
- Oh, great idea Andy.
Get in.
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 gonna believe you.
Man he's just looking for an excuse to put you away.
- Christ, Christ, shit, shit.
(tense music)
Someone's trying to set me up Jay.
- 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.
(tense music)
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 gonna be fine.
(screams)
(sobs)
(speaking in foreign language)
- Please.
Come.
Calm down sister.
Please.
Sit down, please.
(speaking in foreign language)
- Rajan wouldn't have hurt a fly.
Why would anyone want to kill him?
Why?
- Please.
Relax.
Your husband was the last one to see Miss Taylor.
Perhaps 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.
(tense music)
- Did anyone of you see the masseur
on the day of the murder?
- Madam had already dismissed us.
- I saw him.
I was the last one to leave.
- Ah.
- Good afternoon madam.
I'm 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 later this evening.
- Do you know who he was?
- Never seen him before.
(tense music)
- Andy!
I know you must hate me now, but I had to see you.
- They think I killed her.
- I know.
- And you know I'm innocent.
- Yes!
- Well you have to tell the truth Sara.
- I can't.
- This is my life.
- And mine, if I tell he will kill me.
- Well that's crazy, he's not gonna 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.
(tense music)
Why?
I mean, 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 any more.
Who's trying to frame me?
- I don't know.
- Tell me!
- This was a mistake, I have to go.
- Where were you?
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.
(dramatic music)
- Rajan's throat was slit by an Urumi sword.
And only a trained martial artist could do that.
- So you think I hired this martial artist
to substitute for Rajan and murder Lili?
- Right.
When Rajan threatened to spill the beans,
you got him killed.
- That's pretty fucking far-fetched.
- Yet 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 'cause of
Jason's bloody documentary.
(tense music)
- What documentary?
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.
(tense music)
When was this documentary shot?
- It has been almost two years.
But Mr Jason visited again a few months ago
to meet Thomas.
(dramatic music)
- Oh Jesus.
It's Jason.
- Where is he now?
- He uh, he said he was gonna get me help
from the consulate in Chennai.
- It's about time we paid Thomas a visit.
It seems that we are too late.
- Dammit.
They've probably flown away by now.
- Doubtful, police is on the alert at all the checkpoints.
I had a hunch about Jason.
- Yeah.
Well we've still no fucking idea where they've gone.
(speaking in foreign language)
(phone ringing)
It's Sara.
Hello?
Hello?
(tense music)
- How long before we reach Cochin?
- We'll get 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, get in.
I saw the police report of your accident.
Your driving license was suspended because they found
traces of benzodiazepine in your bloodstream.
- Benzodiazepine?
(tense music)
- It was not an accident, it was attempted murder.
The strong sedative put you to sleep.
(dramatic music)
If he had succeeded, as the only surviving next-of-kin--
- He'd have inherited all the money Lili'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.
- [Policeman] This is radio 23 sir, come in.
- Yes.
- [Policeman] Boat has been spotted ahead.
- Block them, we're right behind you.
(speaking in foreign language)
(tense music)
(dramatic music)
- [Man] Stop where you are!
- What the fuck?
Turn it around.
(dramatic music)
- [Man] Don't move!
You have been surrounded!
You are under arrest.
- [Suresh] Thomas Varghese!
Jason Weiss!
You are under arrest.
For the murder of Lili Taylor, and Rajan Nair.
- [Thomas] Get the boat going!
(dramatic music)
(gunshot)
- Shit.
(loud cracking)
Kill him man!
(dramatic music)
(screaming)
(very dramatic music)
- [Suresh] Jason Weiss, you're under arrest.
Come on.
- That old bastard gave her everything.
Just 'cause she was his blood.
I got nothing.
(phone ringing)
- [Andy] Hi this is Andy, leave a message.
- [Man] 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.
- [Andy Voiceover] 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.
- [Sara] Are you done yet?
- Actually.
I'm just getting started.
