Spanning three crucial decades (1940-60s) in the history of India, the story chronicles the life of three great men responsible for launching India’s space and nuclear programs respectively: Dr. Hobi J. Bhabha, the architect of India’s Nuclear Programme, Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, universally acknowledged as the Father of the Indian Space Programme and Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the pioneer of modern Indian aerospace and nuclear technology. The season traces the journey of Bhabha and Sarabhai coming to terms with the challenges facing a young, independent nation and their friendship, sacrifice and determination.

00:00We in India have sought to formulate the principles which should govern our relations with other countries.
00:21And I'm over for Facebook.
00:51The attack of the U.S.A.R.D.
00:54and the attack of the U.S.A.R.D.
00:57The attack of the U.S.A.R.D.
00:59is reported by the U.S.A.R.D.
01:21The attack of the U.S.A.R.D.
01:25Mathur?
01:26We are waiting for the U.S.A.R.D.
01:31Good.
01:33They should be ready then.
01:47Anyone read today's newspaper?
01:52The Indian posts of Dholah and Kenzaminye
01:54along the McMohan 9 and the Nefa
01:56have fallen to the Chinese yesterday.
01:58It is now imperative that we...
01:59One minute, one minute, Mathur.
02:02We all know that the policies of the U.S.A.R.D.
02:06have been flopped.
02:07We have been attacked by the U.S.A.R.D.
02:10This is a war against the U.S.A.R.D.
02:13What do you want to do?
02:15The only thing that we should do five years ago.
02:28What do you do?
02:30So what is it?
02:33As far as I can tell, our best shot.
02:39Gentlemen,
02:42it's the proposal to make India's first atom bomb.
02:45If we want to kill China,
02:49and if we want to make this country
02:52then all we have to do now
02:55is to sign this proposal.
02:57We have everything it takes to make it.
02:59We just need to muster the courage.
03:01Humi, you are doing such things
03:04as
03:05that
03:06this decision of making a bomb
03:07is our decision.
03:08We are just doing it.
03:10And we will have to make this bomb
03:11for 5-6 years.
03:15And until we will...
03:16Five years, we will know that
03:17you and me.
03:18No China.
03:21For now,
03:22as a deterrent,
03:23all we need to do
03:26is make an announcement.
03:28Let them know that we are close.
03:30We will have discussions here
03:32and China will steamroll us.
03:34More men will die.
03:35The only way we can have
03:36any kind of real impact
03:37is in the politics of war.
03:42I dragged you out of beds this morning
03:44because I need you to sign.
03:48One minute.
03:52We should contribute to the scientific council
03:54every kind of war effort.
03:57Yes.
03:58We should keep in the room
03:59and keep in the room
04:00and make an atom bomb.
04:01This time is not to be strong, Vikram.
04:02And we should not give
04:03the bombs.
04:04If you think
04:06that this time
04:07will be lost in China,
04:08then you are wrong.
04:10We will not end the war,
04:11but we will give it more.
04:13What about the wrath of the super power nations
04:14that we will invite?
04:15What about the wrath of the super power nations?
04:17Who gives a damn?
04:18The starving people of the country, Humi.
04:20Look Vikram.
04:21You can't deny this,
04:22but bombs end wars.
04:25You give the example of Hiroshima.
04:28Correct.
04:29But...
04:30Absolutely correct.
04:32We need another Hiroshima
04:34to end the war.
04:35To end the war.
04:36No, no, no, no.
04:37Nobody is saying that Raza went away.
04:38Perhaps it will be a shame
04:40and shame.
04:43There is no use of Hiroshima
04:45that are talking about war bombs.
04:48This ruthlessness is not the solution.
04:50Okay, Vikram.
04:51Then what is the solution?
04:52Diplomacy.
04:54We need to give diplomacy a chance.
04:55We must de-escalate.
04:56Tell that to the families of the 900 soldiers
04:58who died yesterday.
04:59I think I will tell that to the millions
05:00of Indian citizens
05:01whom you are willing to let die.
05:02I am not willing to let anyone die.
05:05For God's sake, gentlemen.
05:06Please think before you sign this document.
05:08We will be starting an arms race.
05:10And the blood will be on our hands.
05:11I am talking about building a bomb, Vikram.
05:14Not to use it.
05:16Deterrent.
05:17One minute, one minute.
05:18Humi,
05:19we should also listen to Vikram's words.
05:20I should listen to him.
05:21I should listen to him.
05:22It's the same thing
05:23that we can reach the center
05:24and reach the center.
05:25I will go to Delhi tomorrow.
05:29Oh.
05:31Yes, brother.
05:32He said it.
05:33You have all desired.
05:35No.
05:37Do it.
05:38What do you need to do?
05:40What do you need to do?
05:41It is necessary, Raza.
05:42You need to pass the proposal to Nehru.
05:45You need to pass the proposal to Omi.
05:47We need to vote.
05:49Yes.
05:50I need them.
05:51I am providing the best option
05:53that I think is right.
05:54We can end this war
05:56and we can stop any other country
05:57from ever even thinking
05:58of attacking us again.
06:00But for that,
06:01I need all of you.
06:02Not enough.
06:11Vikram.
06:12Vikram,
06:13listen to me once again.
06:14What will happen, Omi?
06:15What did you say?
06:16What did you say?
06:17He said in front of me.
06:19But this wasn't a discussion.
06:20The time of discussion is gone, Vikram.
06:22Now is the time to act.
06:23To decide this,
06:24we don't have any scientist's work.
06:26Of course.
06:27This committee...
06:28This committee is only an advisory committee
06:29whose work is...
06:30Whose work is to advise
06:31the correct use of atomic energy.
06:33And at this time,
06:34it's the right time
06:35it's an atomic bomb.
06:36How can you in good conscience do this?
06:46It's fine.
06:50You be my conscience.
06:51You may not trust me,
06:55but I trust you.
06:57Please trust me.
06:58What you're doing is fine.
07:01It will be very bad.
07:03I hope you remember this.
07:06You're blind, Vikram.
07:11We are at war.
07:12Do you know what they call a soldier
07:14who deserts their battalion?
07:16Bagoda.
07:21You are blind.
07:22You are blind.
07:23You are blind.
07:24You are blind.
07:25You are blind.
07:26You are blind.
07:27You are blind.
07:28But at the time,
07:29you will not be blind with us.
07:30Consider this my resignation from AC.
07:35You are blind.
08:05You are blind with us.
08:06I amениеします.
08:07You are blind.
08:08You are blind.
08:09You are blind.
08:10You should know that in your shoes,
08:12Oya.
08:13You are blind.
08:14You are blind.
08:15And you are blind.
08:16You are blind.
08:18You are blind.
08:20You are blind.
08:24And you are blind.
08:25You are blind.
08:28You are blind.
08:29You are blind.
08:30He hurts two- SATURS requires proof
09:04The lunatic brown kid is blowing up the courtyard again.
09:31Hello, man.
09:31Should we give you guys a countdown, aye?
09:32Absolutely.
09:33Should we give you guys a countdown, aye?
09:34Absolutely.
09:35Should we give you guys a countdown, aye?
09:36Should we give you guys a countdown, aye?
09:37Absolutely.
09:38Should we give you guys a countdown, aye?
09:39Absolutely.
10:10Oh, dear.
10:11We're just getting a countdown.
10:12We're going to get in.
10:13Oh, you're doing a countdown.
10:14Oh, my God.
10:19Oh, my God.
10:20Maybe you're doing a countdown.
10:22Oh, my God.
10:23Oh, my God.
10:25Oh, my God.
10:27Oh, my God.
10:28Oh, my God.
10:33Oh, my God.
11:03Now? Now what?
11:09I'll try another one.
11:24Little bombers. It's an anti-arid, brother.
11:26Don't send these men to their children.
11:28First of all, they will send us.
11:30And we'll die in a war which is not even ours to fight.
11:33We should go back.
11:35Let's go back.
11:37Let's go back.
11:38All students are requested to return to the dormant room.
11:44The atomic bombs over Britain's largest city in broad daylight.
11:48This lightning war will go down in history as the Blitz.
11:52Can someone get the lights, please?
12:07And somebody shut the windows?
12:09Does anybody know what this is?
12:17Anyone?
12:21Is it a cloud chamber, sir?
12:23Yes, but no.
12:26In 1911, Charles Thomas Rhys Wilson invented the first rudimentary cloud chamber.
12:37And finally, in 1927, he captured the first trails of what would change particle physics forever.
12:47Forever.
12:49And...
12:50For that, he won that...
12:53He won that...
12:55It's a big prize...
12:57Nobly...
12:59Lob...
13:00Loban...
13:01Nobel Prize, sir.
13:03Nobel Prize.
13:08So...
13:09It's a Wilson cloud chamber, sir.
13:12Let's drink to that.
13:20Unfortunately, humare lien nahi.
13:38Now, who can tell me what this is?
13:41Anyone?
13:44Sorry, sir.
13:45But it's not in our syllabus.
13:48Syllabus be damned.
13:50No one?
13:53Syllabus may atomic structure to ho ga?
13:56Yes, sir.
13:57Brilliant.
13:59So...
14:01We used to think that the atom is indivisible.
14:06What changed?
14:07In 1896, Henry Becquerel discovered radioactive radiation.
14:12Yes.
14:13And what happened?
14:14He discovered that the radiation from the uranium atom hit the photographic plate.
14:20Brilliant.
14:21Okay.
14:22So...
14:23After the discovery of the radioactivity,
14:26It was proven that an atom can change form and emit tremendous amounts of energy.
14:33But aside from uranium...
14:37Are all elements radioactive?
14:40No, sir.
14:41So where was this radiation coming from?
14:43So where was this radiation coming from?
14:50In space, there are stars, there are supernovae emitting billions of particles, charged particles, that travel all the way through space until they finally reach us here on Earth.
15:08On Earth...
15:11Mr. Wilson ke karan...
15:14Is cloud chamber me...
15:16Aap vahee mysterious particles dekh rahe he...
15:21Jineh hum cosmic rays kahte hai.
15:24How did we detect them, sir?
15:26Sounding balloons.
15:28We attach electrodes to sounding balloons.
15:31And we send them up into the atmosphere.
15:33Up high as we can go.
15:35And they measure the intensity of the particles.
15:38Sir...
15:39So are we going to break the atoms from the cosmic rays?
15:44We will understand the atomic energy from the cosmic rays.
15:49We will try to harness it.
15:53And if we can, then the applications could be endless.
15:56Bidjli, dams, communication, transportation, weaponization, potentially even space travel.
16:05I think...
16:06All of these...
16:07I have not reached scientific theory to any science fiction lecture.
16:14Professor Raza...
16:16I didn't know that you attend class, Raza.
16:19No, no.
16:21When you are studying professors...
16:23In that case, you are late.
16:25If you study theoretical physics...
16:27You always attend.
16:29Well, then...
16:32Theoretically speaking...
16:34Class dismissed.
16:36Good luck.
16:40When did you get the shock of physics and leave the drama?
16:43Syllabus can't be wrong, Raza.
16:45You don't need me for that.
16:46No, I need you.
16:47Correct.
16:48I need you to join here as a permanent faculty.
16:52What?
16:53I know that you are staying in India.
16:55After the war is over.
16:56So...
16:57To disrupt my lecture your interview process.
17:00Maybe you want to tweak it, Rala.
17:04Shock and awe.
17:06That is all I was suggesting.
17:08I don't think there is a place for me here, then.
17:11My drama doesn't like you.
17:13And your suggestions are mine.
17:15It's a different way to do our work.
17:18But it's the purpose of it.
17:20To make your work and research.
17:23That's all I'm saying.
17:24Huh?
17:25That's all I want to do.
17:26That's all I've done.
17:27State of the art research facilities.
17:29I've been standing here.
17:30In my hands.
17:32There is no difference in the same way.
17:35Your politics bother me as well.
17:38Not even by that.
17:40Isn't your biggest owner the Muslim League?
17:43So?
17:45No wonder you have a state-of-the-art facility.
17:49But tomorrow, if the demand is full of League,
17:52then you will be made of which country?
17:57Something to consider?
18:27You are listening to Muhammad Ali Jinnah's voice.
18:34You are listening to Muhammad Ali Jinnahki Avaz.
19:04Shane Father I believe in Daddy I am familiar with you.
19:07You are listening despite the Elena Jinnahki Avaz
19:10and whale of Zidhi Gafri in Bag ele.
19:13I don't know what to do here.
19:32Everything here is the same.
19:35It was the same.
19:38Your mind didn't change anything.
19:40It's a problem, Papa. It doesn't change anything.
19:48What do you mean?
19:55I'm going to talk to you once again, Papa.
19:57I have to stop.
20:00Neither were the professors, like in Cambridge.
20:05I was learning from some of the best professors in the world.
20:07I thought I was doing so much research.
20:10I'll go to Chicago. I'll work with Goddard.
20:15I'll make a plan to make a rocket.
20:19What's the difference?
20:20If you stop, not today, this war would have been over.
20:27Then?
20:31Then what happens?
20:32Well, once you get that bill,
20:35I cannot.
20:36You are not alone, Vikram.
20:37Once, you have life and you lose fight.
20:41You are not alone with you,
20:42and you are alone with your enemies,
20:44and you will not have to do it.
20:46You're not alone with your emotions.
20:47You've only finished fighting.
20:49You have to look at new paths.
20:51I have to look at this.
21:03C.B. Roman?
21:10An interview for the post of research at I.C. Bangalore
21:13has been confirmed for 28th September.
21:15Please report at the Cosmic Ray Unit at date.
21:18I am sorry.
21:22No one has given you a research papers.
21:30Your ticket is booked for Bangalore.
21:36Thank you, Baba.
21:41And yes,
21:43don't tell your mother of the mistake
21:46that I've been waiting for him to send him so far away.
21:51Or not, he will cut my ticket too.
22:16Good morning, sir.
22:33Sir, Sarabhai is waiting in your office.
22:36Coming.
22:46Take the Nobel Prize.
22:54You will get more money in the black market.
22:58No, no, sir.
22:59I was just...
23:00Relax.
23:02I was just looking at this stone.
23:05Doing some free thinking.
23:06This.
23:07When I first came here seven years ago,
23:11I had to improvise.
23:21And then the Lord said,
23:25Let there be light.
23:28Really very advanced for its time, sir.
23:32Let's take a walk, shall we?
23:37You're early, Vikram.
23:38I was expecting you at eight.
23:41Sir, that crystal...
23:42That was Crazolite, wasn't it?
23:44Yes.
23:45But, sir, isn't Crazolite the source of asbestos
23:47which can cause cancer?
23:50Crazolite case is lead-lined, Vikram.
23:54A little bit of physics comes to me.
23:56Of course.
23:57I really wanted to thank you for the opportunity, sir.
24:00Don't thank me.
24:01I will not be the one deciding your future.
24:03I don't understand, sir.
24:05Always ask the right question, Sarabhai.
24:06And the universe will open the right doors.
24:08I'm so sorry, sir.
24:09Three assemblies.
24:10For a stratosphere.
24:11Get out!
24:12Kiel Chodios.
24:14Come.
24:18Come, come.
24:21So, homie.
24:23Looks like you're having a very good day.
24:25Ah, yeah.
24:26I've always admired your observational skills, Raman.
24:28Ah.
24:29I remember the student we spoke about.
24:31Cambridge graduate just like yourself.
24:33Couldn't complete his masters.
24:34Had to leave in the middle of the war.
24:37Ambalal Sarabhai Sam.
24:38You probably know it, right?
24:40Not all rich people know each other.
24:43Well, I thought maybe since you two are the only scientists from the west coast of India.
24:47Oh, so now you're a separationist.
24:50Or is it your general disdain for the business class?
24:53You're trying to replicate Millikan's balloon experiment, sir?
24:56To study cosmic rays in the upper stratosphere?
25:01Oh.
25:02I'm just trying.
25:05Look at this.
25:06What is this?
25:07You call this a Geiger counter?
25:08I was talking about Raza.
25:11Wherever his money comes from, his facilities, his institute, equipment, it's 100% better.
25:16Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
25:17Follow me, Murshid.
25:19You complain too much, homie.
25:21I think it's your privilege talking.
25:22Privilege?
25:23Ha.
25:25All I'm asking for is rubber sheets, Raman.
25:27There's not so much demand.
25:29Rubber is easily available.
25:32Take it.
25:33But now, in ward time,
25:34where are you sourcing the rubber?
25:36And in Indian consignments, Japan is attacking.
25:40Yeah, blame everything on the war.
25:42Don't touch those.
25:45Now, because of Japan,
25:46we're not getting rubber.
25:49So, what do we do, Raman?
25:50Huh?
25:51Until the war is finished,
25:52we're waiting.
25:54I'll do it.
25:55Why do you use another material, sir?
25:59What?
26:00Why don't you try using another material?
26:02I heard you.
26:04Why?
26:05Sir,
26:06the density of rubber is much more.
26:09So, which material is then?
26:10Polythylene sheets, sir.
26:12Polythylene sheets,
26:13tensile strength is much more than rubber.
26:17Plus, it's a lighter material and fewer joints,
26:19so lesser stress points.
26:21What was your major again?
26:22Natural science, sir.
26:23But I have a particular interest in physics.
26:26As for my father,
26:27I have a textile owner,
26:28so I have a lot of knowledge of materials.
26:29And I've also been reading books on sounding balloons.
26:31How do you need to reach the altitude of balloons?
26:3550 kilometers, sir.
26:37And what's the temperature there?
26:39Minus 70 degrees Celsius.
26:41And then what will happen?
26:45Polythylene sheets will turn brittle.
26:47Yeah, the balloon will explode
26:48and we'll lose all the data we've collected.
26:50And just as you've heard about it here,
26:52you're not getting rubber.
26:55Where will polyethylene come from?
26:59I'm sorry, sir.
27:04Why are you sorry?
27:05Actually, sir,
27:06I...
27:07sometimes tend to lose objectivity
27:08when it comes to the subject of
27:09astrophysics and cosmic rays.
27:11It's something I've...
27:12Sarabhai, right?
27:13Yes, sir.
27:14Vikram Sarabhai.
27:15Often the best minds tend to lose objectivity
27:17in their pursuit of excellence.
27:20Vikram Sarabhai.
27:22But you tried to give a solution.
27:26When you blame yourself.
27:30Don't waste your sorry, Sarabhai.
27:32You may need them later.
27:33Right, sir.
27:36I think that concludes your interview, Vikram.
27:38Come.
27:39Sir...
27:40I don't understand.
27:41What did I tell you?
27:42Always ask the right questions.
27:56Dear Papa.
27:58You'll be very happy to know this
27:59that my mind has been here completely.
28:01I don't know.
28:02I don't know.
28:03I don't know.
28:04I don't know.
28:05I don't know.
28:06I don't know.
28:07I don't know.
28:08I don't know.
28:09I don't know.
28:10I don't know.
28:11I don't know.
28:12I don't know.
28:13I don't know.
28:14I don't know.
28:15I don't know.
28:16I don't know.
28:17I don't know.
28:18I don't know.
28:19I don't know.
28:20I don't know.
28:21I don't know.
28:22I don't know.
28:23I don't know.
28:24I don't know.
28:25I don't know.
28:26I don't know.
28:27I don't know.
28:28I don't know.
28:29I don't know.
28:30I don't know.
28:31I don't know.
28:33I don't know.
28:34It's just like this.
28:36In 1949, Vishwa Yudh had also been stopped here in India.
28:40And they started the most advanced cosmic ray in IAC in India.
28:45With the world's leading scientists,
28:48there are many people who are not only in their own subjects,
28:52but in every field.
28:54Arts, theatre, music, literature...
28:57He knows it all.
28:59In the past 6 months, we are trying to replicate the balloon experiment.
29:05We are trying to send the Cosmic Ray instruments to 30 km altitude.
29:13The data that we will get,
29:15we will be able to increase in Cosmic Ray research.
29:19Our balloons have almost 20 times failed.
29:23But Professor Bhabha said that
29:25failure only means that we are one step closer.
29:28With him around,
29:29I feel that even I am getting one step closer to my dream.
29:33Let me give you all my love and my mother.
29:36I will be waiting for you.
29:39Vikram.
29:41Okay, that's pretty good.
29:43What do we need here?
29:44Hold the rope tight, huh?
29:45Hold it tight, huh?
29:46Okay.
29:49Sir!
29:50Two and three, right?
29:51Sir!
29:52Replace them in the General Assembly.
29:54It has the quenches.
29:55Number three and number four.
29:57The wind velocity seems too high.
29:58Should we postpone, sir?
29:59No.
30:00It's perfect.
30:01Let's go now.
30:02Okay.
30:03First, I'm gonna chew the lorry.
30:04Yes, sir!
30:05And then, on my count, release the rope.
30:06Yes, sir!
30:07Okay.
30:08Okay.
30:09Okay.
30:10Okay.
30:11Okay.
30:12Okay.
30:13Okay.
30:14Okay.
30:15Okay.
30:16Okay.
30:17Okay.
30:18Okay.
30:19First, I'm gonna chew the lorry.
30:20Yes, sir!
30:21And then, on my count, release the rope.
30:23Yes, sir!
30:24Okay.
30:25Okay.
30:26Ahmed!

31:02So you didn't make this workshop here?
31:06So you didn't make it?
31:08But I'm angry with you.
31:10Why?
31:11When did Papa write so many letters?
31:13When did I write it last time?
31:15So you didn't write it good?
31:17Otherwise, you didn't get to see it.
31:19Yes.
31:20Think about it.
31:22The Papa that you listen to Amdawad,
31:25is it true or not?
31:27Which one?
31:28The IISC, C.V. Raman,
31:31and who is this, Baba Baba?
31:34Baba Baba is not Homie Baba.
31:37He is my thesis guide.
31:39Come on tomorrow, I'll meet you.
31:41No.
31:43We have to leave for Bombay.
31:46There is a big rally in the Gowaliyah tank.
31:49Yes, yes.
31:51Rally of Bapu.
31:53Tell me, Vikram.
31:56I have my confidence this time.
31:58I have a lot of faith in the English government.
32:02And then I will be able to support a new government for India.
32:06So I should go with me.
32:10Sir?
32:11Sir Abhai...
32:12Sir Abhai...
32:13You are going to love this.
32:16Sir Abhai...
32:17You are going to love this.
32:31What's it?
32:32There is a very big party in this grounds.
32:34The whole senior class has called it.
32:38In the honor of Crenshaw.
32:40The traditional Crenshaw?
32:42Why are they?
32:44Vikram.
32:46That's the biggest donor of the Institute.
32:48Every year, this dinner happens.
32:50It's mind-numbingly boring, but...
32:54we have to go show our allegiance.
32:56Here, Bapu is asking about Poon Swaraj.
32:58We are asking about Poon Swaraj.
33:00We are calling them to the English generals.
33:02This is the money of research, Vikram.
33:06It comes from the English generals.
33:08But to fund the Institute, it's the responsibility of the English.
33:12It's our authority.
33:14That's why I told you that I will be in the Rally of Bapu's 8th August.
33:20It can change the course of our history, sir.
33:24Yeah.
33:26You don't believe in the cost, sir?
33:30I believe, what you can do yourself, do it.
33:34And what you don't have in your control,
33:36do time waste.
33:38My father's words, but they've served me quite well.
33:40In our house, this is how you teach the country.
33:44Whatever you can do, do it.
33:46So you will change the country in a rally.
33:48You will change the country in a rally.
33:52I see it as a sign of solidarity, sir.
33:54There is a difference between the difference and the difference between the difference.
33:58If you can't do anything for the country,
34:04then I would say,
34:06please, go ahead, be my guest.
34:08But you are a brilliant scientist.
34:10And what you can do for your country,
34:12there is no one can do it in a rally in a rally.
34:16What does it mean that there is no one in a rally,
34:18a citizen, a student,
34:20or a brilliant scientist?
34:22We all do our work.
34:24We all do our work.
34:26You have to believe me, sir.
34:28But,
34:30for your courage,
34:32I will have to come to the party.
34:34In fact, I'll take this card.
34:38For the invite.
34:39Cosmic reunion.
34:40Thank you, sir.
34:41I'll see you at the party.
34:47That's very important.
34:48Vikram, I would like both of you to come and look at this, sir.
34:50Good evening, sir.
34:51I'd like you to meet Mr. William Crenshaw III.
34:54Hello.
34:55And his father, the famous Mr. Ivan Crenshaw III.
34:57Sir.
34:58Oh, sorry. Sir Ivan Crenshaw III.
34:59No.
35:00Vikram Sarabhai,
35:01one of the brightest minds in our institute.
35:04How are you?
35:05Mr. Sarabhai,
35:07did you know
35:08it was I who brought the pathetic state of this institute
35:11to my father's notice?
35:12Right.
35:13So that we could ensure
35:15that the research here started properly.
35:17But, of course, don't thank us.
35:19Philanthropy is practically our family motto.
35:22Absolutely.
35:23Of course.
35:24The British are well known for their philanthropy.
35:28What do you mean?
35:29You see,
35:30the work we've been doing in theoretical physics
35:32is very, very...
35:33Excuse me, sir.
35:35It's very special
35:36because we've set up a whole cosmic ray unit
35:39and we've been doing...
35:40Wait, wait.
35:41One second.
35:42Knock, knock.
35:43Who's there?
35:44Interrupting cow.
35:45Interrupting...
35:46No!
35:58You look like you're having fun.
35:59Well, we don't get many comedians around these parts.
36:02A large scotch, please.
36:07Classic.
36:08Of course.
36:10So you're the famous homie, Baba.
36:12Yes, yes, I am.
36:13And you are the...
36:16beautiful Miss...
36:19Pipsy.
36:20Pipsy?
36:21Pipsy.
36:22Charmed.
36:24Disappointed, really.
36:26Boring party.
36:28My date's a clown.
36:31Well done.
36:34But the man I really wanted to meet...
36:37turned out to be a cliche.
36:39Pity.
36:44Was she talking about me?
36:46Yes.
36:47Yes.
36:48Pipsy,
36:49she's a lawyer.
36:52Yes.
36:54Last year,
36:55when I was in the port case,
36:57she was in the port case.
36:58She was in the port.
36:59Yes.
37:00But I didn't understand.
37:01She didn't know what she was doing with her.
37:04Raman, my friend,
37:05all of your Maharajs are practically begging us for amnesty,
37:09right, Papa?
37:10I mean, not that I don't blame them, in fact.
37:12I mean, who would want to be part of such a poor,
37:14overcrowded, illiterate kind of...
37:17Mara Chod!
37:22Are you bloody blind?
37:24William, William, William, stop it.
37:25William, stop it.
37:26You fool!
37:27Pipsy, stay out of this.
37:28You will behave yourself.
37:29Go sit.
37:30Up, Joe.
37:35Go about me.
37:36Up, Joe.
37:38Clearly, we were not successful at civilising everyone.
37:43I mean, in my most humble opinion,
37:47the Britishers have given bloody everything to this country now.
37:50The roads, the railways, electricity, education.
37:56Yet some of you seem to ask for this thing called freedom.
38:01I always think, what would you do with such freedom, anyway?
38:05Starve to death.
38:07I mean, you ought to move to England.
38:12Over there, your talents would be put to much better use.
38:16Amongst what we would call the real scientists.
38:19The real scientists.
38:20Now, we will give you proof of the real scientists.
38:24How can we give us proof of the real scientists?
38:25Okay?
38:26I mean you ought to move to England over there your talent would be put to much better use
38:33Amongst what we would call the real scientists
38:53That's quite enough William
38:56Oh darling Pipsy
39:00What did I say that wasn't right right Papa hi
39:04I'm sorry yes you should be because I have news for you my friend
39:10Britain is barely winning the war I mean you may have a chance
39:15But that's only because India and the commonwealth are footing your bills we shouldn't
39:20But we are and if it wasn't for all the wealth you looted
39:23From us and all the labor you exploited out of us
39:28You'd be lying face down in your own empty coffers a long time ago
39:31And when we kick you out which we will we will
39:37I assure you we will and you're finally back in your own country
39:42I wonder what will happen to the likes of you Crenshaw with no skills or talents or even basic common sense
39:48How will you make a living you sit here drinking our wine eating our food living off the hard work of our people
39:55But once you're back home
39:58It's going to be tough
40:00For an inexperienced insufferable belligerent fool whose only claim to fame will be pissing away his father's money and being a massive cunt
40:08How fucking dare you easily
40:20I hope this makes up for the initial disappointment
40:27Cheerio pip-pip old chap
40:38Can I see?
40:44My face is blacked
40:47It's a dull thing
40:49It's good that you've been talking publicly about it
40:52And if you-
40:52Ah!
40:54What? What did I do?
40:58What?
40:58Don't think I didn't notice you egging me on, Rocky boy
41:02If you want to show this in the party, you don't have to talk to the girl
41:08Oh, please
41:19Sir, what's your felicitation today?
41:21Hmm, hmm, hmm
41:24I think
41:25For their work
41:28You need to change your decoration
41:32Yes, sir
41:35Sir, brother
41:36Call me homie
41:38Yes, homie
41:45Yes, homie
41:47Do or die
41:50We shall either free India
41:53or die in the attempt
41:56Every true congressman
41:58or woman
41:59will join the struggle
42:01with an inflexible determination
42:05not to remain alive
42:07to see the country in bondage and slavery
42:11Let that be your pledge
42:19Take a pledge with God
42:21and your own conscience
42:23as witness
42:25that you will no longer rest
42:26till freedom is achieved
42:29and will be prepared
42:31to lay down your life
42:32in the attempt
42:33in the attempt
42:34to achieve it
42:35not to be
42:45Not to be posted
