Diana Page #3

---

I would like that resignation to

have an immediate effect.

Well Patrick, you've been a rock.

What will you do?

Get a new rock.

Hello?

Yes, tell me what you thought.

I see.

Sonya, so what do you think?

I'll call you back later.

Everyone thinks I screwed up.

I had to hit back.

Hitting back is a short term tactic,

what was your strategy?

I don't think I do strategy.

If your intention was to avoid a

divorce, you've achieved the opposite.

My parents divorced.

I made a vow to myself never put

my children through the same thing.

So why would you do something

so drastic?

My boys need to see me happy.

It's time.

I have to move on.

So you didn't screw up.

Because now you'll be free.

Here, cover yourself

with this blanket.

And lie down in the back.

That way the security guards don't

know more about my life than I do.

You've done this before?

Mind your own business.

Suspension's very low.

Explosive device?

Nah, too bulky.

Looking about 8 kilos there.

That'll be a Pakistani

heart surgeon then.

I think we fooled them.

Were you alright in there?

Breathing was impossible.

Come on, that's just a detail.

I love feeling your hand there.

That day when I fist saw you.

So powerful.

Don't think I've been so

strucked by someone.

What do you mean?

It's like...

Nothing could distract you.

You're just doing your job

without any sense of self.

I'm a doctor.

Yes, I know but...

I can see how much love

you put into it.

Love is a garden.

If you can't smell the fragrance,

don't come into the garden of love.

- Who said that?

- Rumi.

Persian poet.

13th century.

Garden of love.

I like that.

One year later.

What happened here?

She stepped on a mine.

She was pregnant.

Did she lose the baby?

Yes.

Cause of that problem.

She's Alena.

How old is she?

Seven.

She went out to fetch water

and stood on a landmine.

Her intestines were blown out

of her body.

Ma'am...

A government minister at home

reported you a loose cannon,

for supporting this campaign.

Do you have any reaction?

I'm merely trying to highlight a problem

that's going on all around the world.

It's been said though that you're aligning

yourself with labor party policy.

Do you think that's wise?

Labor? I don't know what...

I don't know what

you're talking about.

This is a humanitarian mission.

It's enough to make me burst

into tears that...

Who said I'm a loose cannon?

Mr Wonderful, come in.

Mr Wonderful,

this is Diana calling.

My darling, they're attacking you.

Somebody in the house

is calling you...

A loose cannon, yes I know.

But did they print the pictures of the kids

with all their arms and legs blown off?

No, they're making it looked

like a routine hospital visit.

Bastards.

What shall I do?

Use your power.

You're the most famous woman

in the world.

You don't have to follow Royal Family

Rules anymore. You're divorced.

So think differently,

improvise.

Alright.

Improvise.

Clear.

I have to do this by myself.

If I go with you, it gives

them a chance to belittle me.

Okay, keep to the path,

no veering left or right.

Yeah?

Alright.

Good luck.

What's all the fuss?

They did this field already.

An family worker was killed

three months ago.

Three weeks ago...

That walk would've been impossible.

I'd been blown up many times over.

Soon, all this land

can be farmed again.

And children play in the fields.

But clearance is a lengthly

and hazzardous process.

Humanity's only defense

against landmines.

Is to stop manufacturing...

Thank you.

Something's coming, fellas.

Is it?

Thank you Charlie.

God, I miss you so much.

My beautiful...

I'm so proud of you.

You did it.

It's all down to you.

No.

Why do smokers always smoke

after sex?

After the greatest pleasure

in life...

It's only natural to reach out

for the second greatest.

You should give up, you of

all people should know that.

Some people are exempt.

Bollocks.

Some people lead a charmed

life, and I'm one of them.

Walter Walt 22 carats bollocks.

And I lead a charmed life.

No, I'm an expert

and you're not.

I'm an expert on everything.

I know about fashion, polo,

criminal psychology,

the internal

combustion engine...

Rubbish.

It's all part of my job.

Embroidery...

Nuclear submarines...

Not an A level to my name,

and I'm... What's that word...

I'm an om... omnipast?

Omniscient?

Yes, I even knew that.

I've seen and done everything,

much more than you.

You're just a specialist,

and I'm...

What's that word?

Shut up.

Multiple choice,

is it dilettante, polymath...

Or ectomorph?

You're laughing at me.

You can't even speak proper English.

I don't have to,

I'm not English.

You're so smug.

All you know about is football

and jazz.

And...

Saving people's lives.

Saving lives.

That wasn't on your list,

Miss polymath.

I knew it was polymath.

Saving people's lives.

Just delight to see that?

D- Vib tabules.

Charge.

Shoot.

Alright, everyone.

Close them up.

Thank you.

Once again we are champions.

Your patient today.

How bad was he?

He would've died tomorrow.

Or maybe the day after.

Now he'll have another 10 years.

You have power over death.

A doctor's triumphs are only temporary.

I learn that from Victor Chang.

The man you studied under

in Sidney?

Yes.

He treated the whole patient, and

without any ego with love, as you said.

So what happened to him?

6 years ago he was ambushed for

money on his way to work.

He refused to pay, so the guy

shot Victor twice in the head.

Where you are,

death will find you.

Even if you're in a house

built up strong and whole.

That's from the Qur-an.

I studied Islam

a few years ago.

When I was preparing for a trip

to Pakistan.

See? I was getting ready for you

before I even knew you.

Whose car is this?

My butler's.

- What's your butler driving?

- My Audi.

Lucky butler.

Where are we going?

To the very edge

of the kingdom.

Come on.

Look at this.

Now, be careful.

You brought me to the end

of the world.

I'm going to Australia.

Why are you running away from me?

Victor Chang Institute

is doing a fund raiser.

I'm making the keynote speech.

You're doing this for me.

For us.

The world is ours,

this world and the world beyond.

I never think about

the world beyond.

You sleep with a Qur-an

at your bed side.

Habit, hardly ever read it.

I know you do.

Islam is very important to me.

To me it means, the constant

rafimation of one's character.

I believe in that.

I've been reforming my character

since I was seven.

It's finally getting me somewhere.

Your divorce has put things

on a different footing.

You mean with your family?

Yes, a barrier has come down.

Well, barriers coming down is good.

Last one back to the car

is a squash tomato.

- Look.

- What?

It has been said...

That for evil to triumph...

Good men must do nothing.

Tonight, we give heartfelt thanks...

At a good man.

Dr Victor Chang.

Did a great deal.

And of that...
