Diana

---

It is not the horror of landmines

that is making a headline back home.

Reports of the Princess'

romance with Dodi Fayed...

Speculations fueled by the

arrival last night...

Diana, Princess of Wales, has been

formally separated from her husband,

Prince Charles for

nearly three years.

Diana!

- Diana!

- Diana!

Di!

Di!

- Diana, this way!

- Over here!

Over here, Di!

Looks like the check's in the post.

This way, Princess.

Over here!

Di!

Are you getting a divorce?

Di, are you getting a divorce?

Di, are you getting a divorce?

Thanks.

It's been a long week,

you must all be very tired.

Go home.

And thank you.

Where would you like to supper,

Your Royal Highness?

I don't want anything, everyone

can go home. Thank you.

So yes I...

I did infict on myself.

I didn't like myself.

I was ashamed that I couldn't

cope with the pressures.

So, I just hurt my arms.

So I just hurt my arms

and my legs.

There were 3 of us in this marriage.

So it's a bit crowded.

The most persistent criticism

is that as the marriage broke down...

You were unfaithful

to your wife.

That's a persistent criticism, is it?

That's a persistent criticism, is it?

And open your eyes.

Would you like a pin?

Hmm...

It keeps coming back.

That dream I told you about.

Falling into darkness?

It's not falling.

It's being dropped.

Someone's doing it to me.

And take a breath.

I think perhaps you're afraid

of letting go.

No.

I hang on to things,

like my marriage.

You're a cancerian.

You hang on to the idea of love.

Cause you're so good

at giving love.

So you keep on giving.

The hard part is receiving love.

But if I can't receive it,

I'm back where it started.

And where is that?

On the doorstep.

A little girl waiting for

her mother to return.

Perhaps that little girl should finally

stand up and walk into the garden.

It's been 30 years.

In your dream,

who's pushing you?

It's not the point, Oonagh.

The point is...

Will anyone catch me?

Just use the same...

Right then.

I suppose it's too late

to back out now.

It's fine, Wills. Just take

care not to shoot any carcass.

I'll see you next weekend.

The one after.

If that's what the palace

have decided...

No, it's fine with me.

As long as you're happy.

I miss you too.

I'm at the opera.

Having a great time.

I love you.

Bye, darling.

There's something coming up.

A nuclear submarine

needs to be named.

I've indicated to the palace

you might be willing to do it.

Perhaps you can indicate to the palace

that I'd like to see my children.

More than once every 5 weeks.

The submarine, I think in the current

situation it'll be sensible.

A nuclear submarine?

I want to help people.

It's still possible

you might be queen one day.

Like it or not, you're going to have an

army and navy who will be helping people...

- By...

- Shut up!

Sorry, Patrick.

Your Royal Highness,

there's a call from Oonagh.

She said it's urgent.

Excuse me, intensive care?

- Second floor on the right.

- Thank you.

He had a hemorrhage.

It sometimes happens

with bypass operations.

Mrs. Toffollo.

Doctor.

This is Diana.

Joseph's condition is still

very serious.

I need your permission to

take him back this afternoon.

Of course.

Do please look after him.

He is very precious.

He's going to be alright.

Yes.

That man knows what he's doing,

don't you think?

- Are you going down?

- Yes.

Thanks, I was...

Just think Joseph's so much better.

Mr Toffollo is not on that floor.

Right.

Yes, I got lost and...

You know, went a bit wrong.

Actually, I didn't get lost.

I was snooping.

Hospitals fascinate me.

Are you being serious?

Yes.

When I visit hospitals,

I get excited.

I feel like I can make

a contribution.

Perhaps I can show you around.

I would adore that.

I don't know

how to contact you.

Well, I'm like most people.

I've got a mobile.

Actually, I'm not like most people.

I have 4.

One number would do.

And 11.00 an audience with His Grace,

The Archbishop of Canterbury.

- 13.00...

- Paul!

Lunch with Clyde James.

15.00 briefing here at KP

with doctors from Broadmol.

On patient therapy.

Thank you, Paul.

And one last thing, ma'am.

There's been a rumor,

you've done an interview with BBC.

Yes, don't worry about that,

Patrick.

Everything will be alright.

This is the Reginald Wilson Ward,

retains private rooms.

The NHS is on this side.

Basically we're about 50/50.

Is your father a doctor?

No, he runs the family business.

He plants bottles.

But I do have an uncle

who's a heart surgeon.

So you followed him.

I follow no one.

But yes, I admit.

My uncle did help

to set me on my path.

Family can be useful.

And bloody irritating.

Perhaps I've been luckier with

my family than you have.

I don't know.

I've got two families.

How lucky is that?

This is pretty much

state of the art.

How long a heart operation

go on?

Sometimes 8 to 9 hours.

God, how do you keep going?

You reach a place inside youself

where time has no meaning.

You don't perform the operation...

The operation performs you.

I'd love to feel that.

And when it's over...

Reality is a bit flat.

And you're very tired.

I bet.

This is the on-call accommodation.

You just crash here?

What do you eat?

There's a canteen on the

ground floor, but it's not open late.

You can always pop around the

corner for supper with me.

I'm serious.

The palace,

we stay open very late.

Sonya, are you sure this

is the right stuff?

He's a heart surgeon, right?

He'd be a healthy eater.

I've got this.

Aren't they harder to cook?

You boil and drain, 8 minutes.

I'll do everything else,

you just stuff it in the microwave.

Are you sure he's not married

or something?

No, I've checked him out.

So what is it that you like

about this man?

He doesn't treat me

like a princess.

It's almost as if

he doesn't know who I am.

Maybe he doesn't.

He might be very badly informed.

Can we be of an assistance, sir?

Yes.

Cheers.

Are you working tomorrow?

Not at the hospital.

I'm writing a paper from Monday

morning, it's part of my thesis.

I have to be home by midnight.

How do you relax?

Doing such a stressful job?

I listen to jazz.

I'm not sure I like jazz.

You should go to Ronny Scott's.

I can't just go places,

you know.

It's not the same

listening to records.

Jazz is in the moment.

You have to be there, it's improvise.

Just like life.

My life is completely

regimented.

You mean you're told where to go

and who to shake hands with?

Exactly.

But within that framework,

you improvise.

You look at someone for a clue

as how to start a conversation.

And you let it flow from there.

You improvise all the time.

And if you can improvise...

You like jazz.

I've got to check

on the supper.

- Pretty hot stuff, eh?

- What?

You in the kitchen.

Yes, hot stuff.

You can say that.

Hot stuff...

So hearts can't actually

be broken?

A heart can receive a shock

so violence it never recovers.

Yes, but can they actually break?
