happen to your train if people knew.
They'd tear it to pieces
rather than let it go.
But of course it's a secret.
Mr Van Leyden...
It is possible the newspapers
Oh, no. It's of no importance.
- Mr Van Leyden?
- Yes?
- You may go on the train.
- Why, thank you, Sir John.
Your luggage must be at the yard by 11.
- Where are you going?
- To get my bag.
Yes. That's an excellent idea.
- I see. If I go, I miss the train?
- Yes, Mr Van Leyden.
Then I shall have to travel light.
As a journalist I'm used to it.
I couldn't wish for better company -
the decline and fall of an empire.
Roman, not British.
You haven't given me a chance
to speak to you.
There's nothing left to discuss.
Get your things ready.
They are ready but I'm not going.
This little boy's very, very important,
yet you're prepared to take this risk.
And it is a tremendous risk,
we all realise that.
We can't hold out here, isn't that it?
- We have every hope.
- Hope? Everybody hopes.
- You're going.
- No. I'm staying here with you.
- I have no right to get on...
- Right?!
Right? Haven't I my rights?
Am I Governor of a province for nothing?
- But I can't be so selfish.
- I'm being selfish, my dear.
For once, I'm being selfish.
You're going on the train and that's that.
That's that.
Your luggage has been loaded.
Board the train please?
(Speaks Urdu)
- You've got a complete set of tools.
- Crowbars, pickaxes?
- Everything.
- I wanted these mountings fixed.
- I'm sorry. There wasn't time.
- I hope they keep their distance.
Good luck.
Cheer up. I'm sure those gates
aren't as strong as they look.
It's not that. It's... I'd rather stay behind.
Haserabad doesn't seem
a very good place to be now.
It's my home.
When I shut up my little house
I had a feeling
I'd never see it again.
Satisfied?
- You trying to kill us all?
- We're trying to save you.
The British are incurably optimistic.
- But you're British.
- My passport is.
You really think we can get through?
Would I be trying it if I didn't?
Course you would.
You've been ordered to try it.
Get aboard. Quickly.
- How's the pressure, Gupta?
- Not very forcing to go yet.
It will be forcing in a soon moment.
Oh, do let me.
We'll be off soon.
Will you all lie on the floor please?
It may be uncomfortable but it's
necessary and it won't be for long.
Mr Bridie, turn that lamp out please.
All being well, the train won't stop.
If it does, don't look out
of the windows or leave the carriage,
but put the shutters up and wait for me.
Right.
- How is she now?
- Now it is forcing.
It will be ready to go
