01x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

That is all you care about - a bet?

That is the only reason
you are here?

If you recall, I once planned
such an excursion myself.

Made it as far as Victoria Station.
Dover, actually.

I'm travelling the world,
like we planned!

I just want you to be
proud of me, Estella, just once.

We're here
because a woman broke his heart.

A kind, perhaps brilliant, man
who many years ago...

..was disappointed by the love of a
young woman, the mysterious Estella.

Fogg is going to blow his brains
out with embarrassment

when he reads this.

But every word is true!
Every word was private!

This is a warrant for your arrest.
I AM NOT A THIEF!

He didn't steal it. I did.

HE GROANS
No!

I'm coming into money.

Christmas Eve, you say? Yes, if not
before, almost definitely before.

Have you ever heard the expression,
"if you want something doing,

"do it yourself"?
g*n CLICKS

SHIP'S HORN BLOWS

Put the bill onto Mr Fogg's account.

HELP!

HELP! HELP!

Who was that man with the g*n?
Somebody help us!

I don't think they can hear you!

Yes, thank you, Passepartout,
that's why I'm shouting!

I don't understand,
why would he do this to us?

Clearly he's deranged -
there can be no other explanation.

He seemed to know who we all were!

Yes, yes, that's true.

Now is not the time
for whos and whys.

Have you something more pressing
to do?

I'm just saying
we need to focus on finding land,

and make the best of the situation.

There is no best of it,
we are lost at sea,

with one flask of water between us!

It could be worse. How on earth
could this be any worse?

HE SPLUTTERS

Abigail?

Passepartout?

Abigail!

Fogg?

Abigail!

Mr Fogg!
Thank heavens you're alive!

Have you seen Passepartout?

Not yet.

If we have survived,
he must have, too.

Passepartout?

Passepartout?

Passepartout?

Passepartout?

Mr Fogg!

It's only his jacket.

Last time we saw him, he was being
swallowed up by the sea.

We are here, and he's not.

It doesn't necessarily mean
he's dead.

Do you really think he's dead?!

No, I said NOT necessarily dead.

Perhaps not even dead at all.
Alive, very much alive...somewhere.

I don't know why I'm crying.

When he was alive, I found
Passepartout quite irritating.

At times, extremely irritating.

He was so kind, too. Absolutely.

PASSEPARTOUT: Aidez-moi!

It's almost as if I can still hear
his voice.

Argh! Argh! Aidez-moi! Argh!

Aidez-moi! Aidez-moi!

HE SPLUTTERS

Argh!

HE GRUNTS

HE GROANS

So you're not dead, Passepartout!

Don't sound so disappointed.

Fix was just worried about you,
that's all.

Where are we?

I think it's time we found out.

I suggest we follow

the beach until we find signs
of civilisation.

With a little luck, there might be

a British Consulate
we can call upon.

HE GROANS

Since we were nearly two days at sea
before being cast adrift,

I would estimate we've probably
washed up somewhere on

the coastline of Japan,

or the Philippines or Formosa.

That's most of Southeast Asia.

Yes, I admit it's broad, but...

..once we find a village,
they'll be able to tell us

exactly where we are.
Although I did read an article in

The Anthropological
Institute Journal

that there may be some isolated
tribes in this region

who have never encountered
an outsider.

Is that a bad thing?

Well, it was for Captain Cook.
But I'm sure the chances of that

happening to us are very slim
indeed...

You're very forward for a servant
or a waiter,

or whatever you are tonight.
I'm just a man, mademoiselle.

WHISPERS: I would care if you lived
or died...

..a little bit.

Thank you for fixing me, Miss Fix.

TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS

..wouldn't you say, Abigail?

Hm?

Yes, indeed.

The first thing I'm going to do
when we reach civilisation

is take a long soak in a hot bath.

For me, beer.

Good idea - a cold beer
in a hot bath!

Speaking of which,
do you have the flask?

Is that all the water we have left?

Sorry, I was rather thirsty.

Is something wrong?

It's the sun. When we set out,
it was on our left, then it was our

right...and now it is on our left
again. Footprints! And they are

fresh since the tide went out!

You were right! Follow the beach
and we find civilisation!

Let's see where these lead.
Aren't you coming?

These footprints were made
by shoes -

what do you think that says
about the people who live here?

Nothing at all, I'm afraid...

..because they're our footprints.

We're on an island, and we've walked
all the way around it.

Are you sure?
Perhaps you're mistaken?

Look - that's the spot where we
dragged Passepartout from the sea.

There's a piece of our lifeboat.

Damn, damn, damn you to hell!

Argh!

Mr Bellamy? What is it?
This arrived for you, sir. Ah.

Thank you, Wellington.

BELL TINKLES

Good news, Bellamy?

A small business venture

has turned remarkably favourable.

I know this is a setback
but we've been in situations

more hopeless than this.

What could possibly be more hopeless
than this?

The important thing now

is we work together to survive here
until we are rescued.

We will need food, fresh water
and shelter.

I'll go get water.

Excellent! I will forage for food.

There must be something to eat
on the island.

Perhaps you could make a start
on building a shelter.

We'll help you when we return.

Now we have a plan

and everyone has a task.
It's all going to be fine!

I found water! Fresh water.

And it's cold!

I never imagined
water could taste this good!

HE LAUGHS

What's that?

Fruit I found for us to eat.

Bravo!

We make quite the team, we three!

Water, fruit...

..and shelter.

Yes, well,
it's still a work-in-progress.

Anyone hungry?

Famished. I could eat a horse and
its rider.

In that case, let's dine.

Tropical treat.

SHE GRUNTS
How delicious.

SHE GRUNTS

Ugh! Oh, good God, that's ripe! Oof!

It's repugnant!

I imagine it tastes better
than it smells.

What if it's poisonous?

Some of the fruit had been eaten
by birds -

they wouldn't do that
if it was poisonous.

We must eat
to keep our strength up.

THEY GAG
That is truly vile.

I can't eat this, I'm French.

Well, if you want to survive,
you must.

THUNDER RUMBLES

Please, Mr Fogg, we're already

weakened, we have to stay warm
and dry.

Come, squeeze in tight,
out of the rain.

I'm perfectly fine here.

RAIN LASHES

I'm afraid I owe you both
a sincere and abject apology.

We can find more branches
for the roof tomorrow.

No, it's not the roof,
or anything else.

I am the reason we are marooned here
on this island.

I was the one who embarked
on this calamitous journey...

..and I brought you two with me
to this tropical prison.

But that's not true.

No, I'm afraid it is.

Bellamy warned me that I didn't have
the stuff

for a journey like this.

But instead of heeding his advice,

I allowed ego and pride
to cloud my judgment.

And the wager,
that's done for now, too.

Everything's done for.
It's all my fault.

I'll never forget
the loyalty you two have shown me.

I just hope you can forgive me
for letting you down.

There is no need.

The past is over now. Forgotten.

I cannot forget it.

And to know that you've forgiven me

my shortcomings would be
a great relief.

If it makes you happy,
I forgive you.

You don't need my forgiveness.

Nonetheless, I'd appreciate it.

D'accord, I forgive you.

Thank you, Passepartout,
it means a lot to me.

THUNDER RUMBLES

Things will seem better
in the morning.

I cannot stomach
another piece of that fruit.

You need to eat.

I will find something else to eat,

something that does not taste like
a punishment.

SHE CHUCKLES

I'm worried about Mr Fogg.

He is still moping around
the back of the shelter,

refusing to eat or do anything.

He blames himself for all of this.

We need to do something.

We are both a little culpable
for bringing him

to this low ebb.
I wrote that article about him,

and you landed him in prison.

What can we do, except give him
the time

to accept
that this is not his fault?

It's not always that simple.

When I was a child,

my mother suffered terribly
from melancholy.

And when it took hold of her,

it would not loosen its grip
for weeks.

She'd lie in a darkened room,

unable to see anyone or do anything.

It was truly the most awful thing.

We cannot allow that to happen
to Fogg.

It will be a battle to survive here,

and if he sinks into melancholy

and loses all his fight,
he could die.

I will go speak with him,
make him see sense.

I'm not sure what you can say
that I haven't already tried.

I will think of something.

You may believe this is all
your fault, but I know it's not.

Well, thank you, Passepartout,
that's very generous of you to say.

The person who put us in
the lifeboat is the one to blame.

His name is Kneedling,

and he's been trying to sabotage
the journey for weeks.

You know him?

I've seen him. Spoken to him.

When? In Aden, and Hong Kong, too.

What exactly did he say?

He offered me money
to delay your journey.

Why didn't you mention this before?
I should have, it was a mistake.

Yes, if you'd said,
I could have done something,

alerted the authorities
to this Kneedling chap. I know.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You didn't take the money from him?

No, no, get away from me,
Passepartout. Go!

What's going on?

Tell her what you've done.

Go on, tell her.

If you don't tell her, I will!

I already know what he did,
and he was only trying to help.

How on earth was that helping?!

He only stole it
to get money for the trip.

He wasn't to know you'd get
the blame and end up in prison.

What?

If it wasn't that, what is it?

I have done something terrible,
something I regret,

and if I could go back in time,

I would change my decision.
I can...

The man who ordered us into the
lifeboat was called Kneedling, yes?

Passepartout took a bribe from him
to sabotage our journey.

Did I mention
this was a terrible mistake?

Why would you do such a thing?
For money!

He was paid to betray us -
like Judas!

But I realised what I'd done was
wrong, and I gave the money back!

Yes, unfortunately this epiphany
only came after he'd poisoned me

with drugs given to him

by this...this odious
Kneedling fellow!

Your illness in Narupani?

Oh, yes, yes, that near-death
experience was courtesy

of my ever-loyal valet,
Monsieur Passepartout.

To think I blamed myself
for us being stranded here,

when it was entirely his fault!

I even apologised to him last night,
and you accepted it!

I did say there was no need.
Oh, how very considerate of you!

Your betrayal is unforgivable,
I will not tolerate it.

I will not share the company of

a man who has behaved as you have.
I am ordering you to leave here now.

Is that really necessary?

Yes, I'm afraid so, yes.

Now, please go.

Passepartout, go!

GO!

I know what Passepartout did
was wrong.

Worse than wrong. Unforgivable.

Unforgivable!

Well, I shan't waste another moment
on that man,

I've more pressing matters.

I am going to build a raft
to get us off this island.

But we could be hundreds of miles
away from any sort of civilisation.

Then, I shall build a raft strong
enough to withstand such a journey.

Build it with what?

Driftwood.

And determination and ingenuity.

It will not be easy, I know,
but I will do it, I promise you.

And then you and I will sail away
from this wretched place,

and leave Passepartout ALL ALONE!

How can there be so little wood?
There must be wood somewhere.

Do you think Passepartout has taken
all the wood for himself? No.

Why would he do that?

Well, who can even begin
to comprehend the motives of a man

who would lie and steal

and allow his friend
to take the blame?

I know you don't want to accept it,
but Passepartout acted

with good intentions.

Well, his good intentions got me
the lash. He only stole

the White Dragon to get money
for our trip, he did it to help us.

I'd rather not have the help
of a man like Passepartout.

He's coming this way.

I don't care if he's giving birth
to the Messiah, ignore him!

I think he wants to speak to us.

That's far enough, that's far
enough! You come no further.

This beach belongs to all of us.

Very well.

That side of the line is yours,
this side is mine,

you're not welcome on my side.

I am sorry.

Well, as am I, taking you
into my employment, into my trust.

No, save your breath,
save your breath.

Abigail has told me exactly
what you did in Hong Kong.

And despite your claims
of contrition,

all I see is a liar and a thief.

If I could go back
and undo what I did, I would.

Well, you can't,
so that's of little use to us now.

I didn't really know you then.

And if I am honest, I thought
this trip of yours was ridiculous.

Why on earth would you think that?

You and Mr Bellamy betting more
money than most people have in

a lifetime
on whether you can travel around

the world in 80 days.

I believed
it was a gentleman's folly.

Yes, well, you were wrong,
you were very wrong.

It's SO much more than that.

I know that now.

I can see how much this trip means
to you,

and if it is important to you,
it is important to me.

And yet your behaviour has
sabotaged everything.

I know what I did was wrong,

and I am determined
to make amends for that.

I don't want your amends,
I want you to leave us alone.

You don't mean that.

Yes, I do. I want him to go,
off my beach, gone from my life.

Well, I refuse to go.

My friendship with you

and Fix is too important
to be ruined by this disagreement.

There is no friendship.
It is over, finished!

Not for me. C'est fini!

It is still alive,
and I intend to fight for it.

Oh, yeah,
no, I've read about this.

Yes, too much exposure to
the sun affects the brain.

He's delirious. You're delirious!

Passepartout's lit a fire.

I think he's cooking something.

He's goading us, ignore him.

Your raft is progressing well.

It may look that way,
but I'm afraid I'm stumped.

Without a hammer or nails,
no way to fasten

the wood together.

Well, not securely enough
to withstand thrashing waves.

I can help you with the raft.

I don't need your help,
thank you very much.

If you're hungry, I have lobsters.
Absolutely not.

It does smell delicious!

Have you forgotten what he did?
He is trying to make amends.

And right now I'm so hungry,
Passepartout could have kidnapped me

and brought me here with the sole
intention of selling me

to sl*ve traders, and I'd still
forgive him for a piece of lobster.

We have our own food.

I'm sorry, I cannot eat another
mouthful of that awful fruit.

There is more chance
of me riding up The Mall

in a wedding gown
than of Fogg winning our bet.

How can you be so certain?

He's already made his way
to the Americas.

Call it gambler's intuition.

Mr Fortescue, there's a gentleman
here wishes to see you.

Well, what on earth does he want?
He's from the Foreign Office.

Oh, well, um, send him over.

HE SIGHS

Mr Fortescue.

Mr Fortescue, we have received

correspondence from our Consulate
in Yokohama regarding

a gentleman
we are led to understand is

a friend of yours,
a Mr Phileas Fogg?

Ah, yes, yes, that is correct.

It seems the captain of
the SS Carnatic

has reported Mr Fogg as
missing at sea,

and feared dead.

It is believed he fell overboard.

Fogg is dead?

In all likelihood, yes.

My daughter, she was travelling
with Mr Fogg...

There was no mention
of your daughter

in the Consulate's correspondence.

Although one of the other two people
missing from

the ship's manifest is a woman,
but her name is not Fortescue.

It is...Fix, Miss Abigail Fix.

HE GASPS

In the entire history of mankind,

I doubt any food has ever tasted
quite as delicious as that.

I meant what I said, you know.

I know what I did was wrong,
and I am truly sorry.

HE SCOFFS

Since this all happened,
I keep asking

why this man is
so intent on sabotaging the trip.

I have wondered the same.

And I remembered that

Kneedling said he had a friend
who wanted us to fail.

And there's only one person I know
who will profit if

Fogg does not complete
the journey on time,

and that is Mr Bellamy.
You will retract that remark!

Who else has a reason
to wish failure on you?

YOUR betrayal was bad enough,

but to...to blame it
on one of my oldest friends,

that's low, even for a Frenchman.

Maybe because I'm French,
I don't understand how your

English friendships work.
Every time I saw Bellamy at

the Reform Club,
he was humiliating you!

That's not true. Always making you
the joke of his butts.

One more word about Bellamy,

I will not be answerable
for my actions!

You are very loyal to this man.
I only hope he's worthy of it.

Yes, he is, yes!

I imagine this great friendship is
built on more than you going to

the same school,
or being members of the same club?

It is built on many things,
many...many years of many things.

You don't sound very certain.

One thing I AM certain of,

I have no desire to discuss this
or anything else with YOU!

What Passepartout said
about Bellamy...

..it does make sense.

Bellamy would never conspire
against us.

Never! He has been friends with me

and your father since we were boys.

It is too much to believe
he would do this to us.

Then, who?

I don't know, but not Bellamy.

Bellamy is ten times the man
that Passepartout is.

You are angry with Passepartout.
With excellent reason.

Our treatment of him has not always
been without reproach, either.

I employed him, I paid him,

I trusted him,
what more could I have done?

Passepartout saw his brother k*lled
in Paris,

and he didn't even have the
opportunity to attend the funeral.

He shot a man in the desert
to save us,

and we barely acknowledged it.

He has made many sacrifices
to help us,

and we have taken that for granted.

We have all made our mistakes.

I should never have written
that article about you.

I can see now that it was
a breach of our friendship.

I'm sorry.

RAIN LASHES, THUNDER RUMBLES

HE GRUNTS

HE GRUNTS

THUNDER CRACKS

HE GASPS

THUNDER CRACKS

You've finished the raft!

Not me, it must have been
Passepartout.

I don't know where he got these
vines, but they have done the job.

It's practically finished!

We can gather food
and water for the trip and launch.

You mean go today, this morning?

Well, I don't see why not,
it's not impossible.

When I first met Passepartout,
I didn't trust him one bit.

I thought he'd abandon us at
the very first opportunity,

and if you'd told me then

he would do something like this
for us,

I wouldn't have believed you.
But he has changed.

Thanks to Passepartout,
so has our situation.

And without wishing to get ahead of
ourselves,

if we were to reach landfall
quickly...

..the wager with Bellamy
may not yet be lost.

GENTLEMAN: Terrible news.

There you are, sir.

Read all about it.

CLOCK CHIMES

DOOR OPENS

Read your editorial about Fogg
and Abigail.

Damned fine piece,
you did them proud.

That's very kind of you to say,
Bellars.

Bellamy? The club wants to
commemorate Foggy at precisely 10am,

the time he always arrived
at the club.

We also thought it would be nice
if someone said a few words?

Yes.

What, you mean me? Well, er...

..under the circumstances, we
thought that would be for the best.

Erm...

Well, you knew Foggy
as well as any of us.

You know what a good egg he was.

Have you seen Passepartout?

No, not since last night.

Passepartout?

Passepartout?

Passepartout?

PASSEPARTOUT GROANS

Here! Passepartout?

No, I feel...

HE RETCHES

Passepartout's unwell!

I don't feel a fever. I'm not hot.

Let's get you in the shelter,
come on.

I think he's been up there
all night!

Good chap. I'll get fresh water -
he needs to keep drinking. Yes.

Passepartout, I'm going to
rub your feet

to get the blood moving,
keep your temperature up - yes?

Good God, you're freezing,
absolutely freezing.

Right, Abigail, I want you to keep
him warm,

keep him drinking water.
Take that leg.

Can't allow the circulation to drop.

Drink some of this. Drink this.
Good man.

Good man.

Good, good.
HE COUGHS

Right, let me take the legs. Use
body temperature to keep him warm.

Hold him. Don't be coy, Abigail!

How can he still be this cold?

That is the last of the shelter.

That won't keep it going for long.

We have to keep him warm,
you said that,

and it's getting chilly,
we can't just do nothing.

Did you hear me?

We can't just do nothing.
No, we can't just do nothing.

Give me a hand.

The first time I laid eyes on
Phileas Fogg,

he was a six-year-old boy
in short pants

trying to push an extremely large
trunk

up three flights of school stairs.

And it wasn't even his trunk.

# Tarry with me, O my Saviour

# For the day is passing by

# See the shades of evening gather

# And the night is drawing nigh... #

That's the kind of chap Foggy was,

always willing to lend a chap
a hand.

Always willing to...help a chap
in need.

# Swift the night of death advances

# Shall it be the night of rest?

# Lonely seems the vale of shadow

# Sinks my heart with troubled fear

# Give me faith for clearer vision

# Speak thou, Lord,
in words of cheer... #

And he was an optimist, too,

cos there wasn't a damned chance
in hell he was

getting that trunk up three flights
on his own.

He hadn't even made it
to the first floor when Fortescue

and I had to lend our shoulders
to the task.

And in that moment,

a friendship that was forged
that lasted for 40 years.

# Lonely seems the vale of shadow

# Sinks my heart with troubled fear

# Give me faith for clearer vision

# Speak thou, Lord,
in words of cheer. #

HE GRUNTS

I don't need to tell anybody here
what kind of man Phileas Fogg was,

because you all knew him.

And anyone who knew Foggy

knew he was the very best kind
of man.

When did you wake?

I've only been gone five minutes.

Ah, well, you're warmer at least,
that's something. How do you feel?

Better, I think. Keep drinking.

You're back with us!

What happened to the raft?

Ah. Fogg burned it to keep you warm.

But that was your way off
the island.

We had to keep your temperature up.

Thank you.

It wasn't a difficult decision.

Regardless, I will not forget.

Lobster for breakfast,
how very grand!

SHE LAUGHS

You were right about Bellamy,
Passepartout.

Who else has a motive
to sabotage our trip?

He's not a bad sort, really.

I don't believe that he'd wish us
marooned like this, or even hurt.

I imagine...

..that this man Kneedling

was overzealous in carrying out
his task.

And you were right, too, about him
undermining me,

he has been doing that for
a very long time.

When I was around your age...

..I had planned on making a trip
a lot like this one.

Not in 80 days, obviously, that
would have been ridiculous then,

but at my leisure...

..and with a woman I loved.

Her name was Estella,
did I mentioned her?

Yes, we planned to marry in Paris,
travel the world together.

But Bellamy was against it,
of course.

Never tired of telling me
that I wasn't worthy of Estella,

and I wasn't up to a journey
like that.

That's reprehensible.

Well, no, I'm afraid in this
instance the blame lies with me.

I should have had the courage
to ignore Bellamy

and do as I wished, but instead...

..I was barely on the train
to Dover when I wanted

to turn around and go straight back
to London

and the club and everything I knew.

And then, by the time that we'd
boarded the ship, I was so filled

with dread...

..that I lied.

Told Estella I'd left
a case at the station

and I had to retrieve it.

I think that I hoped that she'd
follow me off the ship, you know,

we'd return to London together.
But she didn't.

And instead she sailed away...

..and travelled and lived her life,

and I never saw her again.

I did nothing with MY life.

It has remained unlived.

That's not true.
You're a famous adventurer.

Abandoning Estella like that's

the thing
that I'm most ashamed of...

..and that I most regret.

And I've never felt that
same close bond with anyone again.

Not until this trip, with you two.

What Fogg said earlier,
it was not what I was expecting.

Nor I.

It certainly explains why he got
so angry about the article I wrote.

I got it all wrong.

It's easy to misjudge people before
you get to know them properly.

It is.

When I first met Fogg,

I thought he was a pompous
English fool. That was my mistake.

And what did you think of me
when we first met?

That you were bossy
and opinionated and impossible.

And also clever
and independent-minded

and very beautiful.

I wasn't completely wrong -

you ARE bossy and opinionated.

Don't ruin it!
HE LAUGHS

FOGG: Ahoy! Ahoy!

Look! Look! Look out there!
Have they seen us yet?

This will help it smoke!

HELLO!

HEY!

HERE! OVER HERE! HELLO!

HEY! HERE! HELLO!

HERE!

OVER HERE! HERE!

I think they've seen us!

I think it's turning!

THEY CHEER

HERE! HERE!

INDISTINCT CONVERSATION

You don't look very pleased
to be rescued.

I am.

I just wish they could have arrived
half an hour later.

Me too.

Well, it seems they saw the smoke

from our bonfire and decided
to investigate.

That is fortuitous!

Yes. First Mate Thearle, there,
believes that we'll be in America

the day after the Carnatic.

Pas mal! Yes!

Ha! I can't say I will miss
this wretched island.

But nor shall I ever forget

the time that we three spent
together here.

So, are we ready? Yes?

All right, sir? Thank you. Come on.

Right! Let's get you onboard, sir.
Very good!

You should let Miss Fix
get on there first.

Allow me, madam. Thank you!
There we are.

Passepartout, after you.
No, you, monsieur. Please, go on.
