The Lovers

---

Why are you frightened, child?

I'm disturbed by my visions, Guru Dev.

I see strange figures...

in white.

In some strange place full of light.

I see a man in some other place

in a blood red coat.

And I see a ring

which shimmers in a blue light.

You wish to know the meaning of these

visions, child... come what may?

There was a ring, child. Long ago.

It was forged of eternal love.

One ring made of two rings.

To fit together,

both halves had to be pure

at the first moment of love.

After much toil,

a match was finally created.

The two halves combined...

and formed a single ring.

It is said, that once united...

even if separated

by an ocean or an age...

they will always reunite.

They are called, "The Lovers."

Okay, baby, you're at quarter deck...

alpha grid north.

Can you check... grid alpha 5 beta?

Yeah.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'm gonna

be able to get underneath this beam.

There's really no way around it, either.

I think we're gonna have to leave

this one for next time.

Sorry, sweetheart.

Allie, take a look at this.

No, Jay, pan back.

- Can we get any closer?

- Okay.

I see it. I'm gonna send the little guy

in there because I can't get in.

It's a little tight.

Can... can I have high resolution?

We're the first people

to see this in 300 years.

God, it's beautiful.

Since the Naiad sailed from Bombay.

I want to say it's Indian,

but I can't put a date on it.

This snake design, I think it's ancient.

It could be part of a pair.

Anyway, it was very important

to somebody on our wreck.

- How so?

- You see...

the kind of silver purse type thing?

Bears the initials D.E. on it.

Whoever D.E. was...

drowned clinging to that purse.

Look in yourself, Tulaja.

It will be, thus.

You will love with the full force

of a woman's heart.

And your love will be returned in full.

But you will betray your love

and as you have foreseen, he will die.

Guru Dev, am I such a person, Guru Dev?

What beats within your chest, Tulaja?

My heart, Guru Dev.

Where else in the universe

is betrayal, Tulaja?

If not in the human heart.

I will not betray.

I swear not to do so, Guru Dev.

- I will not betray.

- Your path is already chosen.

Then I will not love.

Allie?

- Laura!

- Allie!

- Hang in there, Laura.

- Where's Jay?

Oh, God, help me.

What the hell was she doing

down there, Allie?

- Laura?

- I can't move it, Jay.

I can't move the beam.

I'm coming down to get you,

sweetheart. Just stay calm.

I'm so sorry, Jay.

Matt, there's no air in any of these.

- We packed the gear away last night.

- I told her not to.

- How much O2 does she have left?

- Ten minutes.

I'm sorry, Jay.

- Jay.

- Get a RIB out.

- I've radioed the coastguard.

- Matt, give me a line.

Allie... be honest.

How much time have I got?

Jay! One idiot is enough. Jay!

Laura! Laura!

- Allie?

- We're gonna get you out of there.

- How?

- Hang in there, Laura.

How, Allie? How are you

gonna do that, Allie?

Paul, here, take this.

How long to free dive 350 feet? Matt!

I don't know. The world record's

three minutes. Get that RIB in the water.

- I should have stopped her.

- Yeah, so why the hell was she diving?

She wanted to bring the purse up.

It was an anniversary surprise.

Really?

What are you doing?

Keep it coming.

- Laura, it's gonna be okay.

- No, it is not. He is free diving.

Guys, winch up.

Oh, my God. Allie, he's passed out.

- Where's the coastguard?

- They're on the way!

I got him. We're coming up.

Come on.

16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23.

- Oh, God!

- 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.

Is he okay? Is he okay? Baby? Baby?

- 1, 2, 3.

- Oh, honey. Is he okay?

- Get the defib!

- Annie, go!

- Oh, sh*t. Sh*t.

- Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Oh, God. Oh, God.

I thought I'd lost you. Oh, God.

- Put your head back.

- You are okay, baby?

Jay? Keep your head still.

Keep your head still.

It's okay. Don't ever do that again.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

- Jay, you've...

- Oh, my God.

Oh, God! Oh, God! Jay, are you alright?

- Has he got a pulse?

- He's still got a pulse.

- He's breathing.

- Here. Here.

Jesus, where's the flashlight?

This is f***ing serious.

- Jay!

- Get the defibrillator!

- Come on. Jay.

- Jay, can you hear us?

It's coming. They're coming!

Jay, where are you?

Can you hear us, Jay? Baby?

- Jay!

- Baby?

James.

James? James. Brother?

It's 4 o'clock.

Sorry, I must have dozed off.

4 o'clock?

Aye. Desai.

- Ji, saheb

- Mera coat.

- Ji, sir.

- We'll be late for Governor Hornby.

Hindu Stewart, don't they teach you

the purpose of...

Clocks in Scotland?

God, I hate this place.

It's too hot. It's too crowded.

- And it's too far from Scot...

- Massachusetts, Charlie. The farm.

I know. But four more years of this?

God!

The money we need

can't be saved in a day.

James, the governor's meeting,

are you planning on speaking your mind?

Why do you ask, Charlie?

Well, I've only just got back

from a month up country building roads

- and I'd like to stay here for a bit.

- I thought it was too hot and too crowded.

It is, but it's still better

than being up country building roads.

Gentlemen. His Excellency, the governor.

- Governor.

- Colonel Egerton, gentlemen, sit.

This summer of 1778

is our summer of opportunity.

Hindu Stewart. Don't they teach you

the purpose of clocks in Scotland?

Governor.

As I was saying, we English

hold three colonies in India.

But unfortunately on opposite coasts.

We, here in Bombay,

Madras down there, and Calcutta, here.

Gentlemen, imagine

if we could link them up.

We could dominate

the entire subcontinent...

to the exclusion of all

other trading companies...

And obtain personal riches

beyond our most radical imaginings.

Indeed. Indeed.

The most powerful obstacle

to our ambitions...

are these kingdoms here.

Bijapur and Purandhar.

The present king

is our implacable opponent.

However... an opportunity has arisen.

An opportunity that will allow

our shareholders

in the East India Company to look

at a map of this subcontinent and say...

Mine.

Captain Stewart hardly seems

welcoming to this opportunity.

James?

It is quite clear to me, sir,

and to you, governor

and to many others in this room

that building an empire

in India is not the policy

- of His Majesty's government in London.

- A fine point.

London is a long way away,

Captain Stewart.

Getting a reply from them

can take a year...

as you know.

Far better to present London

with a fait accompli

than wait passively for their approval.

Far wiser to wait

than to stir up a hornet's nest without

the means to contain it, Colonel Egerton.

Gentlemen, the die is cast.

In a month it will not serve us

to debate, but seize the day

- and seize the place.

- Hear, hear.

Tulaja...

a little pigeon told me

you can prophesize.

Highness, I can't.

Tulaja, you are no longer

just guarding a queen.

You're also guarding a prince

or a princess.

Highness.

Please tell me, Tulaja.

What future do you see for my child?
