The Great World (E02)

Matthew begins to adjust to his new life in Singapore and acquaints himself with his father’s rubber trade. He is troubled when he discovers that questionable practices are taking place under his nose, but the Blackett’s unscrupulous business model and the impending Japanese invasion threatens to scupper his plans to make any real changes. After an evening of deliberate distraction among Singapore’s liveliest entertainment, exhausted and fever-ridden, Matthew finds himself torn between two warring women, both intent on gaining his affections, as Pearl Harbour is bombed and America enters the war.
