But, he's a very private man.

We can't cope with England, so...

I'm thinking seriously

about living abroad.

You want me to find him a job.

Yes.

It was my son, William...

Who suggested I should clear a

load of clothes out of my closet.

And give the proceeds to the

AIDS Crisis Trust Charity.

I hope you've all remembered your

check books for the garage sale.

Sorry, auction.

And maybe some big laundry bags.

So you can carry your clothes home.

Now, I'm not gonna stay and

watch here and embarrassed you.

But please, be generous.

Because there are so many people

who need you...

To be generous.

Thank you.

Hello?

This is Diana,

we've just landed.

So tell me, how did it go?

What?

$5,5 million?

Yes!

A written request for my CV from the

world's most famous heart surgeon.

To go with my job application.

There's been a slight mistake.

Did I apply for a job

in Boston?

Funny I don't remember it.

Things have got ahead

of themselves.

Funnier still, I actually

seemed to have got the job.

We talked about living abroad.

But we weren't really talking

about living abroad.

You're a wonderful doctor...

I was simply using

my connection.

I don't want anything from you.

I've worked long and hard

to get myself a life...

Don't go and reorganize it

without asking.

I was trying to find a way

for us to be together...

Someone has to do something.

If you don't understand

how I feel about my work...

How can we be together?

Yes?

Boss, I don't know if you want this.

But...

They're not so bad,

your security.

At least they've stopped

making jokes about my car.

Thank you, Paul.

The big one supports Queen's

parkranger, I never met anyone...

Who genuinely supported it.

Hasnat!

I can't seem to live

without you.

And yet the complications of trying to find

some way of actually living with you...

Is just beyond me.

But that's nothing.

You were trying to find your way.

I'm so sorry.

Good afternoon,

Queen's park rangers.

Sir...

Hasnat, Asslamualaikum.

Walaikumsalam.

Hasnat, we're all very proud

of your achievement.

You're a brilliant doctor.

Shining light.

What did the family think

of Diana?

The family loves Diana.

But it's a big question.

Should the most famous woman in

the world become part of our family?

And what's the answer?

Hasnat, you've been blessed

twice by God.

You have your calling as a doctor.

And a wonderful girlfriend.

But is it possible to have both?

I've known you since

you were a child.

You're a private person.

Do you really think you can work as a doctor

when you are so much in the public eye?

On the other hand,

if you were to marry Diana...

It'll be a great thing for Pakistan,

the whole Muslim world.

What did my mother think?

Your mother would never

give her approval.

Diana is a divorced woman

and a Christian.

In a long journey of life, from time

to time, we come to a fork in the book.

Hasnat, it is time for you

to choose.

You're making it sound so simple,.

Life is simple.

I love her so much.

See you in 4 weeks!

Bye mom!

This must be the only park

we haven't visited in London.

We've done all the others.

Well, clockwise

or anti-clockwise?

I don't mind.

Long day.

It was hard in the hospital.

It gets dangerous.

Dodging the food trolleys trying to finish

their rounds before the ice cream melts.

There's just one thing.

I know we could find a way.

So my trip to Lahore was a

failure, I didn't wint them over.

It's not to do with winning

them over, you can win anyone over.

But your family don't want

me to be your wife.

That's no surprise.

I've never once been accepted by a family,

not my own, the one I married into...

When I think of the word,

I shudder.

My family haven't said that.

But your mother won't give us

her blessing.

That dream that you had,

sitting in a compound in a hall.

Surrounded by children

is impossible.

Why?

Because if I marry you...

I have to marry the

whole word as well.

We can't simply be

a man and a woman.

But you must have known that

from the start.

When you fall in love, you just

keep going despite the warning lights.

So now you've had the best of what's

on offer, you're just gonna clear off.

That's not true.

I've struggled to see how I could marry

the most famous woman in the world.

But I'll be giving up the

very thing that defines me.

I want to make it work.

I can't stop loving you.

They always say that

when they're saying goodbye.

I'm not saying goodbye.

Expect Charles,

I give him that.

Don't bring him into it.

Why not?

You belong with him now.

You're on the list, labelled

"the past".

Aren't you?

I don't want to see it

like that.

Then why call me in the middle

of the night, to this...

God forsaken park...

To get me my marching orders?

It's a bit dramatic.

Dramatic?

Dramatic? My whole life has

been dramatic.

It's been full of the sound of

people shutting doors on me.

You say you love me,

you'll always love me...

There's about 5 billion people on

this planet who can say that.

But is there one...

Who can stay with me?

Is this f***ing mike on?

I'm not saying it's over.

Yes you are,

you just can't say it.

I'm not saying it's the end.

Have the courage, go on say it!

I'm not saying it's the end.

Yes, it is!

Okay, I'll say it.

It's over!

Don't follow me!

Diana!

Boss, this won't take long.

People aren't happy with the way things

have been going over the last few weeks.

Members of your staffs feel

they've been exposed...

To situations that carry

with them element of danger.

We'd like you to consider

strategy.

There's a feeling there's

no clear direction...

You should...

Also you've received an offer

from Dodi Fayed.

To join him again.

This time just you.

Say yes.

So where are we going?

Sardinia.

Cala the Vulpe.

Fox Creek.

Very fond of foxes.

Why so?

They're like me.

We've all escaped from

the Windsors.

Hello...

Jason Fraser, what's happening?

Where are you?

Here.

Where is here?

You know where are the foxes.

Work out, handsome.

Pronto.

I've got something big.

Can you be somewhere this moment?

- Morning.

- Morning.

You sleep well?

What's the matter?

What is she up to?

There's no time to get the

Americans involved.

Oslo is the last conference,

before they ought to retreat.

But America's signing will be huge.

There are too many

sticking point.

There's basically only 3.

Exemption for the border

between north and south Korea.

A delay in the treaty implementation,

and the whole smart mines issue.

Smart mines?

They blow themselves up within

7 years so the land are safe.

It meant redefining

what a landmine is.

Stop the bus.

Your son?

Please kindly leave the message

after the beep.

Hasnat it's me.

Hi it's me.

I really want you to call me.

I mean really really.

Call me.

Hello...

Dodi.

The falling dream

I still get it.

But it's different these days.

How is the dream different?

Well, I don't know.

I suppose...

I suppose it's...
