Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:56,940
Who's that bloody fool on the grey?
2
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,430
Someone who wants to be noticed,
I should Imagine.
3
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,000
He'll be noticed.
He'll get his head blown off.
4
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,839
My Early Life...
5
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,940
...by Winston Spencer Churchiil.
6
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,460
On the 16th of September, 1897...
7
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,400
...at the age of 22...
8
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,920
...found myself taking part
in a punitive expedition...
9
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,300
...of the Malakand Fleld Force
on the northwest frontier of India.
10
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,400
In a sense, I had arranged for my
participation In this action myself.
11
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,190
August the 5th, 1897.
12
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,640
A letter to General Sir Bindon Blood:
13
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,400
“Sir, I do hope you will not be annoyed
If I remind you...
14
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,900
...that you once promised me that
when you had your next command...
15
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,480
...you would try to find
a place for me."
16
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,560
"Very difficult. No vacancies.
17
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,350
Come up as a correspondent.
We'll try to fit you in. Blood."
18
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,880
Which of these gallant chaps
will lead me...
19
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,710
...10 something really exciting,
an adventure I can write about?
20
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,239
That column there?
21
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,240
Or that one? It's all a lottery, Isn't it?
22
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,839
Just luck.
23
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,910
God, I hope I'm lucky today.
24
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,240
The joke of It all Is that I never
really wanted to be a soldier.
25
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,400
No. Politics, parliament,
that's my arena.
26
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,170
But how am I to get there?
I have no reputation...
27
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,270
...no family in the government.
And worst of all, no money.
28
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,450
Money. My darling mother wrote to me
often on that tiresome subject:
29
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,850
"Really, Winston, you are simply
irresponsible about money.
30
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,090
I am sending the man
the 11 pounds he asks...
31
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,620
...but why will you write cheques
when you have no money in the bank?
32
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,480
Actually, in America, you know,
it's illegal.
33
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,810
And they sentence people
to long terms In jall for doing it.
34
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,740
My dear, do be careful.
And do write when you can.
35
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,230
Please, please, don't take
any unnecessary risks.
36
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,500
Your loving mother,
Jennie Randoiph Churchiil. "
37
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,050
Who's that bloody fool on the grey?
38
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,120
Can't tell.
39
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,410
Someone who wants to get noticed,
I should Imagine.
40
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,870
He'll be noticed.
He'll get his head blown off.
41
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,240
Sir!
42
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,730
Lieutenant Churchill, sir.
4th Hussars.
43
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,340
Actually, I'm here as a correspondent.
Pioneer and Dally Telegraph.
44
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,270
If you're going
to that village up there...
45
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,720
---would you mind awfully
if ll came along?
46
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,340
Yes. Churchill, 4th Hussars.
47
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,170
We don't care much for
correspondents out here.
48
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,410
Or white horses, either.
Where'd you get him?
49
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,620
In the auction last week, sir.
Malakand Pass.
50
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,720
- Previous owner killed?
- Ibelleve so, yes, sir.
51
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,600
Didn't that teach you anything?
52
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,640
Sir?
53
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Come along If you llke.
But keep out of the way.
54
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,320
Thank you very much, sir.
55
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,820
Oh, one more thing.
We do try to bring our wounded back.
56
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,360
These chaps can be very nasty.
57
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,730
But as you're only an onlooker, I can't
guarantee anything. Understood?
58
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,360
Yes, sir.
59
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,200
Thank you very much, sir.
60
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,280
The truth Is, I'm not at all brave.
61
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,320
The truth Is, I've often feit
myself a coward, especially at school.
62
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,720
But if I could win a reputation
for courage and daring...
63
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,990
...If I could be mentioned
in despatches...
64
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,260
...that would heip me
to get started in politics.
65
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,400
In short, I need medals.
66
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,730
Lots and lots of medais.
67
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,980
And I have to learn so much,
and there's so little time.
68
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,840
İ have to read all the books
{ should have read before.
69
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,030
I must become my own university.
70
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,170
And I must overcome my speech
impediment when I speak in public.
71
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,610
The Spanish ships
{ cannot shee-- See.
72
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,830
For they are not in shite-- Site.
Damnl
73
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,879
Move It!
74
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,880
Is everybody gone, sir?
75
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,839
All gone, sir.
76
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,840
Very well, then.
77
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,770
- Carry on.
- Carry on!
78
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,820
Number three section, follow me!
79
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:56,370
Wouldn't you know it?
All this way for nothing.
80
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,920
Talk about rotten luck.
81
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,359
Right, we'll start back now.
82
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,710
Keep a dozen men and cover us
till we get halfway down.
83
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,039
- Then we'll cover you.
- Right.
84
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,320
Come along, Mr. Cartlidge,
we're going back now.
85
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,500
Very well, sir. Come along
and huddle It up. Bring them down.
86
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,780
Head's up.
Lieutenant general, come with me.
87
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,759
It's not bad at that.
88
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,760
Could be worth two
or three hundred words.
89
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,360
Get back. Get back!
90
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,650
Willy! Come on, get out of there.
91
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,119
Come down! We'll cover you!
92
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,610
Fall back! Fall back!
93
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,830
No, sahib, leave me.
Oh, sahlb, you're hurting me.
94
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,479
Sahlb, let me go!
95
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,320
Oh, please, on my knees,
I am begging you.
96
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,210
Come on, you Idiot, get out of It!
97
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,200
Get out of It!
98
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,270
"And to conclude these despatches...
99
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,500
...the general In the fleld
wishes to mention and commend...
100
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,670
...the courage of
Lieutenant W I S Churchill...
101
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,360
...who made himself useful
at a critical moment."
102
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,270
And thereupon,
1 sat down and wrote a book.
103
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,980
And the literary critics
were most kind to me:
104
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,560
"If General Kitchener
shouid ever find time...
105
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,960
...to read Mr. Winston Churchill's
new book, The Malakand Fleld Force...
106
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,790
...It's fascinating to imagine
the great warrior's reaction to it.
107
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,230
The book is excellent for a first effort,
but perhaps Its title should have been:
108
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,850
Some Helpful Hints for Generals
From a Young Lieutenant.”
109
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,620
Hurry up, the train Is about to leave.
110
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,400
For some reason unknown to me...
111
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,050
...I have always been charged
with being unpunctual.
112
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,680
But then, in my lifetime...
113
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,430
...I have constantly been accused
of many wicked things.
114
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,940
Perhaps I paid for all those sins...
115
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,000
...real or imaginary, in advance...
116
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,800
...for when I was but 7,
I was cast out of my happy home...
117
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,230
...and sent away to school.
118
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,510
I left behind me
all who were dear to me...
119
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:16,370
...especially my nurse,
Mrs. Everest...
120
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,520
Winnie, bye-bye!
121
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,430
...who looked after me
and tended all my wants...
122
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,740
...and to whom I poured out
all my troubles.
123
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,670
And for some reason
I cannot now remember...
124
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,690
...I called her "Womany."
125
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:36,330
And when I went away,
I think I missed her most of all.
126
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,230
"Dearest Mother, my white horse
has been a marvelious investment.
127
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,839
Everyone noticed me.
128
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,250
The news Is that Kitchener is going
to fight the dervishes In the Sudan.
129
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,970
Mother, darling, you must use
all your Influence and charm...
130
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,110
...to get me Into his command."
131
00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:57,920
My American mother...
132
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,640
...always seemed to me
a fairy princess.
133
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,320
A radiant being...
134
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,760
...possessed of limitless
riches and power.
135
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,560
She shone for me
like the evening star.
136
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,640
I loved her dearly.
137
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,930
But at a distance.
138
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,520
Nevertheless, it was my father...
139
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,420
...who was the greatest and most
powerful influence on my early life.
140
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,010
He was the second son
of the Duke of Mariborough...
141
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,820
...and & Tory member
of the House of Commons.
142
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,320
Good morning, good morning.
143
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,360
Unfortunately, If my mother had
little time for me In those days...
144
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,980
...I saw and spoke to my father
even less.
145
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,600
He numbered among his friends...
146
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,350
...some of the most important
men In parliament...
147
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,540
...and Indeed In all England.
148
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,940
Men like Lord Salisbury,
the leader of the Tory party...
149
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,710
...which was then In opposition.
150
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,440
His nephew, Arthur Balfour.
151
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,270
And Joseph Chamberiain.
152
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,970
And even I knew that one day...
153
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,440
...when the people
came to their senses...
154
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,160
...and swept the Conservatives
back into power...
155
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,080
...It would be these men who,
together with my father...
156
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,720
...would form the government.
157
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,039
No Lord Rothschlid?
158
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,830
Are none of your Jewish friends
to be with us today, Randolph?
159
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,620
No, I didn't think
It would be fair to them.
160
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,080
You know how easily bored they are.
161
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,080
Winston.
162
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,560
Thank you, sir.
163
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,320
Now, we enter this In your name.
164
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,280
So...
165
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,950
And then you can purchase
anything you llke from the school shop.
166
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,290
Up to the limit of your credit,
of course.
167
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,910
I'm afraid Winston doesn't quite
understand about money yet.
168
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,320
We shall teach him.
169
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,440
This young man wliil be very happy
here, Lady Randolph, I assure you.
170
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,070
Il am certain he will.
171
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,960
Would you take tea, Lady Randolph?
172
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,280
I'm afraid I can't.
I shall miss my train.
173
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:44,240
Another time perhaps,
when I come agaln.
174
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:53,360
You wliil be good, darling.
175
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,560
And you wlil write, won't you?
176
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,680
Yes, Mama.
177
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,440
And so, young Churchilll,
here we are.
178
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,080
Come along.
179
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,880
Yes, sir.
180
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,880
I am going to tell you something...
181
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,890
---1 shall want you
to remember always.
182
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,130
Your school days are the most
Important days of your life.
183
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,680
How you get on here
wlll determine precisely...
184
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,240
-.-how you get on In the world.
185
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,710
Succeed here,
and you wlll succeed as a man.
186
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,200
Fall here...
187
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,730
...and you wlll be a failure
to the end of your days.
188
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,850
- Do you understand?
- Yes, sir.
189
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,510
Good.
Your father Is a great man.
190
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,390
Be llke him In all things.
191
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,270
Now, you walt here
while I see about getting you settled In.
192
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,030
Have you had any Latin?
193
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,690
Latin? No, sir.
194
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,650
While I am gone, learn this.
195
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:38,170
This, on the right-hand page.
When I return...
196
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,560
...we shall see
how well you have done.
197
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:06,710
They are ready for you.
Come along.
198
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,890
Now, then, have you learnt It?
199
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,420
- I think I can say It, sir.
- Then please do so.
200
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,960
Mensa: a table.
Mensa: O table.
201
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Mensam: a table.
Mensae: of table.
202
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,700
Mensae: to or for a table.
Mensa: by, with or from a table.
203
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:24,890
Very good. Come along.
204
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,600
Excuse me, sir,
but what does It mean?
205
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,890
It means what It says.
Mensa: a table.
206
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,439
Mensa Is a noun
of the first declension.
207
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,960
There are five declensions.
208
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,560
You have learnt the singular
of the first declension.
209
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,470
Yes, sir. But what does It mean?
210
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,480
I have told you.
Mensa In Latin means "a table.”
211
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:48,959
But It means "O table" too, slir.
212
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,960
And what does "O table® mean?
213
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,540
"Mensa: O table"
Is the vocative case.
214
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:56,959
O table.
215
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,820
You would use that In addressing
a table, In Invoking a table.
216
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,010
You would use It
In speaking to a table.
217
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:10,330
But I never do, sir.
218
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,560
Churchill...
219
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,230
...In this school, If you are Impertinent,
you wlil be punished...
220
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,320
...and punished, let me tell you,
very severely.
221
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,320
Come along.
222
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,800
McSweeney, PJ M W.
223
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:33,610
"He exhibits rather
too relaxed an attitude...
224
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,100
...towards the disciplines
of academic life.
225
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,560
Gamma.
226
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,190
Stand forward, McSweeney.
227
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:46,790
Mr. McSweeney, I shall be obliged If,
after this assembly...
228
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,950
...you wlil take your customary step
through my study door.
229
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,480
"Dear Mama, I hope you are well.
230
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,519
I'm very happy at school.
231
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,080
I do wish you could come
and visit me one day soon."
232
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,970
"He gabbles his translations
and Is dirty with his written work."
233
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,770
Step forward, Stuart MacKenzie.
234
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:07,750
May, ACW.
235
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,380
Stand forward, Mr. May.
236
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,840
Mr. Belcher tells me In this report...
237
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,040
...that you suppose nolse to be
an effective camouflage for Inattention.
238
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,480
You wlill give me
your attention In the study...
239
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,600
...where we wlll explore
your capacity for making nolse.
240
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,380
Mr. May, you're first.
241
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,420
--Which Is, In my view, essential.
242
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,700
Oh, come, come, It really Is time
the Honourable Member...
243
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,630
...stopped trying
to Introduce bogus bliis...
244
00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:08,140
...In order to prevent action
on bona fide ones.
245
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,980
Mr. Speaker! Mr. Speaker, I protest!
246
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,190
Those words should be taken down.
247
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,910
Mr. Speaker, I agree.
I wholeheartedly agree.
248
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,340
Those words should be taken down.
249
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,630
WIII the gentlemen of the press
please take these words down?
250
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,950
It really Is...
251
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,050
...time the Honourable Member...
252
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,870
...stopped trying
to Introduce bogus bllis!
253
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,700
"Dear Papa, how are you? I am well.
254
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,730
- Mr. Churchlil!
- I am very happy at school.
255
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,330
I had a nice birthday. Thank you
ever so much for the present.
256
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,560
I know you're ever so busy...
257
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,210
...but It would be ever so nice
If you could come one Sunday."
258
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,750
And when the next election came...
259
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,840
...my mother married an American
flavour to the proceedings.
260
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,150
Mind your skirts, dearie.
261
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,380
Good morning! Good morning.
262
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,880
Good morning.
263
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,140
Are we new In the neighbourhood?
I must say, I don't recall the pleasure.
264
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,210
Well, you've come to the right place
to save a bit of money.
265
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,970
It never hurts to do a little
shopping yourself, I say.
266
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,700
And learn your way about, In effect,
ma'am. What can I do for you, ma'am?
267
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,360
I want to talk to you
about the election.
268
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,410
My husband, Lord Randolph Churchilll,
Is standing for this constituency.
269
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,010
And I'm helping him to get elected.
270
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,210
Ma'am, In this constituency...
271
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,240
...In effect, we vote as we please.
272
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,940
And we don't like people
coming round asking us for our votes.
273
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,540
Furthermore, I never discuss
politics with women.
274
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,240
Even ladles, ma'am,
begging your pardon.
275
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,430
In-- In-- In-- In effect.
276
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,860
But I want your vote.
How am I to get It If I don't ask for It?
277
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,440
Indeed. Well, that's a point.
278
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,620
Qulte so. You--
You have a point there, ma'am.
279
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,690
İt ls a point, but It's no use.
280
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,620
I'm a life-long liberal.
281
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,630
Besides, I don't hold with lordships
lolling about the House of Commons.
282
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,630
No. Horses for courses, I say.
283
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,930
Lords for lords, commons In
the Commons, In effect, ma"am.
284
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,640
But my husband doesn't loll.
285
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,300
He never lolls. He works very hard.
286
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,970
That's why he Isn't here
and I am, In his place.
287
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,239
In effect.
288
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,960
Oh, and what time, may I ask, does
His Lordship arise In the morning?
289
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,550
Most days, about 11.
You see, the House sits at night.
290
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,380
- Sometimes very late.
- He st-- He stays In bed tlll 117
291
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,040
Well, I'm sorry, ma'am...
292
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,660
...1 could never vote for a man
who lles abed until 11:00.
293
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,740
That Is the end of It, ma'am.
Good day.
294
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,200
Good day.
295
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,120
Just a moment.
296
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,990
Doesn't get out of bed till 11,
does he?
297
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,580
Well, ma"am, looking at you now...
298
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,060
...It's a wonder to me
he bothers to get out at all.
299
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,710
Good day to you, ma'am.
300
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,160
- Good evening.
- Welcome home, milady.
301
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,650
Thank you, Evans. Betty, Marlene.
Is Lord Randolph In?
302
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,160
- No, milady.
- Where's Everest?
303
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,439
I'm here, Lady Randolph.
304
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,560
If I might speak to you?
Now, please.
305
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,759
When did this happen?
306
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,760
Have you called the doctor?
307
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,560
We shall be taking him
out of that place.
308
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,240
Won't we, milady?
309
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,120
Ladles and gentlemen,
Lord Randolph Churchlil...
310
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,160
---Secretary of State for India.
311
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,550
Lord Randolph. Many people
give you the major credit...
312
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,180
...for the return of
the Conservative Party to power.
313
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,100
Yet there Is a rumour that
you tendered your resignation...
314
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,600
...to the prime minister,
Lord Salisbury.
315
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,090
I trust I am not here to exchange
gossip or to encourage a rumour.
316
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,810
But you will not deny there Is friction
between yourself and Lord Salisbury.
317
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,790
I refuse to discuss that any further.
318
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,359
To put an end to It, let me say...
319
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,930
...that I have never run away from
a fight when I believed It necessary.
320
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,970
But I am and always will be
loyal to the Tory Party.
321
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,640
Mind you...
322
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,400
...some of my friends In my own party
have a great lesson to learn.
323
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,080
The Tory Party
wlll never remain In power...
324
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,930
...untll It gains the confidence of the
minorities and the working classes.
325
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,140
Because the working classes are
quite determined to govern themselves.
326
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,610
Yes. Your theory of Tory democracy.
327
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,960
It Is sald that there are
few who take It seriously.
328
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:05,720
Really?
329
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,720
Yes. After all, as an aristocrat...
330
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,950
...It's difficult to accept you
as an advocate of democracy.
331
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,560
Many people think you use It
as a device...
332
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,260
...to make yourself prime minister
In Lord Salisbury's place.
333
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,560
Do you?
334
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,620
- Not at all.
- Good.
335
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,240
Recently, you've expressed strong
views on the state of the Irish question.
336
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,560
Well...
The Irish question...
337
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,410
That, I'm afraid, will never be solved.
338
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,640
Qulte.
339
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,760
Now, Lord Randolph,
on a more personal note...
340
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,170
...you and Lady Randolph, the former
American heiress Jennie Jerome...
341
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,720
...are leaders of society.
342
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,670
Your racehorses are most successful,
you entertain lavishly...
343
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,400
...and His Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales attends your dinners frequently.
344
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,600
And Lady Randolph and you...
345
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,250
...are identified with
all that Is new and fashionable.
346
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:01,920
Your splendid home
here In Connaught Place...
347
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,480
...Is one of the few
to have electric lighting.
348
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,800
How do you find It?
Do you prefer It to gas?
349
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,010
Well, It's all rather
up-to-date, I suppose.
350
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,900
That thing In the cellar--
1 think you call It the dynamo.
351
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,400
--Is rather nolsy.
352
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,470
The lights wlill keep going out
always at the wrong times.
353
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,880
No, I don't think that electric light
wlll ever replace gas.
354
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,440
- At least, not In private houses.
- No, no.
355
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,280
I believe, Lord Randolph,
you have a son.
356
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,260
What? Yes, actually. Two.
357
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,080
Two sons, Winston and Jack.
358
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,720
No doubt, they're very proud
of thelr father.
359
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,790
That thought
had never occurred to me.
360
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,040
I had scarcely passed
my 12th birthday...
361
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,280
...when I entered the inhospitable
regions of examinations...
362
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,080
...through which,
for the next seven years...
363
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,360
...1 was destined to journey.
364
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,070
These examinations
were a great trial to me.
365
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,770
{ should have liked to be asked
to say what I knew.
366
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,810
They always contrived
to ask what I did not know.
367
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,250
This sort of treatment
had only one resuit:
368
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,260
I did not do well in examinations.
369
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,080
B.gln.
370
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,110
This was especially true...
371
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,110
...of my entrance examination
to Harrow.
372
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,010
I wrote my name
at the top of the page.
373
00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:52,070
I wrote the number
of the question: one.
374
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:58,000
And after much reflection,
I put a bracket around it.
375
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,790
But thereafter, I could not think
of anything connected with It...
376
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,430
...that was either relevant or true.
377
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,230
Incidentally, there arrived
from nowhere In particular...
378
00:36:07,720 --> 00:36:10,280
...a blot and several smudges.
379
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:16,460
I gazed for two whole hours
at this sad spectacle.
380
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,690
Then, merciful ushers
collected my plece of fool's cap...
381
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,300
...with all the others and carried it
up to the headmaster's table.
382
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,520
Longhalred boy In the second row.
383
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,500
It was from these slender
Indications of scholarship...
384
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,080
...that Mr. Welidon, the headmaster...
385
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,390
...drew the conclusion
that I was worthy to pass into Harrow.
386
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,080
It Is very much to his credit.
387
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,750
It showed that he was a man...
388
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,600
...capable of looking
beneath the surface.
389
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,700
A man not dependent
upon paper manifestations.
390
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,310
I have always had
the greatest regard for him.
391
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,070
- Happy Christmas, Lord Randolph.
- Thank you.
392
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,200
And to you, my boy.
393
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,520
Mr. Buckle, a visit from me
to The Times at this hour...
394
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,760
...must be a surprise to you.
395
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,800
Oh, The Times has learnt never to be
surprised by Lord Randolph Churchill.
396
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,980
Then, perhaps, this wlil surprise you.
397
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,980
This Is a letter from you
to the prime minister.
398
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,440
That Is correct.
399
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,130
But It's a letter of resignation
from the cabinet.
400
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,050
That Is also correct.
401
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,600
Lord Randolph.
402
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,950
You have taken me Into your
confidence by showing me this letter.
403
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:07,990
1 ask you...
404
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,500
I beg you not to send It
to Lord Salisbury.
405
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,120
I already have. That's a copy.
406
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,360
Then I urge you to withdraw It.
407
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,840
That's not possible.
408
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,960
Lord Randolph, once before
you threatened to resign...
409
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,830
...and the prime minister retreated.
410
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,050
This time, he will stand flrm.
411
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,400
Really?
412
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,010
Forgive me If I seem
to be taking a liberty...
413
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,970
...but for you to resign now,
to leave the government...
414
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,990
...on this Issue of the budgets for the
army and navy would be a tragic error.
415
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,640
You must not do It.
416
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,800
1 have no choice.
417
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,010
I'm pledged to economy
up to my eyes.
418
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,320
I gave my word.
419
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,800
How can I accept this
flagrant misuse of public money?
420
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,580
May I say that public money has
been wasted before...
421
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,250
...and the nation has survived.
422
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,300
As I understand,
your colleagues In the cabinet...
423
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,180
...are willing to accept this blll.
424
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,840
Then why do you feel It
necessary to resign?
425
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,420
In addition to belng leader of
the House of Commons...
426
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,050
...I'm also chancellor
of the exchequer.
427
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,050
I am responsible
for the country's money.
428
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,050
Why resign? In protest?
429
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,280
The country will not be grateful.
After all...
430
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,560
...Isn't this a matter
of national defence?
431
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,460
Withdraw this resignation.
At once. Now.
432
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,560
The prime minister
has already accepted It.
433
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,080
I have his letter here.
434
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,310
Mr. Buckle, I came to you,
rather than any other editor...
435
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,880
...In the hope that you, of all people,
would give me your support.
436
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:49,240
I see.
437
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,440
The Times has criticlsed
the government...
438
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,480
...when we thought It necessary.
439
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,730
But we will not lend a hand
toward bringing It down.
440
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,480
WIIl you, at least...
441
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,990
...publish both my letter and
the prime minister's reply?
442
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:25,639
No.
443
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,690
They are private communications
between you and Lord Salisbury.
444
00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:31,120
To publish hlis letter...
445
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,720
-.-1 would have to have
the prime minister's permission.
446
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,640
That you will never get.
447
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,970
I presume I shall see the news
In tomorrow's edition of The Times?
448
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,640
Yes. Tomorrow.
449
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,080
Randolphl
450
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,280
Randolphl
451
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,920
Randolph.
452
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:11,760
Randolph.
453
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,790
Qulte a surprise for you.
454
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,560
It Is true.
455
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,730
It must be. It's In The Times, Isn't It?
456
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,439
Last night, you knew.
457
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,720
You knew then,
and you didn't tell me.
458
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,170
When you sald you were going to
the club, you were going to The Times.
459
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:38,110
I saw no reason
to spoll your evening.
460
00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:43,720
But you've worked so hard.
461
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,580
Yes, I'm very tired.
462
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,040
Why don't we take a holiday?
463
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,250
We've arranged to be home at
Christmas. We have engagements.
464
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,760
Mr. Moore, my lord.
465
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,570
Oh, dear, yes.
Show him In, wlll you?
466
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,050
- Good morning, Lady Randolph.
- Good morning, Mr. Moore.
467
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,520
- Lord Randolph.
- Yes, It's quite true, Moore.
468
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,410
Now, be a good fellow,
have a cup of coffee with us.
469
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,620
No, thank you. I...
ll Just came to tell you that...
470
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,250
...If I can ever serve you In a private
capacity, I would be honoured.
471
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:27,800
Very kind of you.
472
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,800
- Do sit down.
- Thank you, no. I--
473
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,200
I really must go.
474
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000
I'll see you to the door.
475
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,760
I'll see myself out, Lady Randolph. I--
476
00:42:58,240 --> 00:43:01,890
In all my 20 years
In Her Majesty's government...
477
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,790
...-1 have never served a more able
or more brilliant minister.
478
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,620
He has flung himself
from the top of the ladder.
479
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,120
He wiil never reach It again.
480
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,440
Winston, hurry up.
481
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,280
The devoted Mr. Moore
had a heart attack...
482
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,030
...and died shortly thereafter.
483
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,640
I can see my father now...
484
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:03,500
...In @ somewhat different light
than I did in those days.
485
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,390
I have long since passed
the age when he died...
486
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,000
...and I understand very clearly...
487
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:14,040
...the suicidal nature
of his resignation.
488
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:17,140
My mother remained, as always...
489
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,760
...loyal and steadfast.
490
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,510
A light on Marmion's visage spread
491
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,960
And fired his glazing eye:
492
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,960
With dying hand, above his head
493
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:43,240
He shook the fragment of his blade
494
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,040
And shouted, "Victory!
495
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,040
Charge, Chester, chargel
496
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:48,720
On, Stanley, onl"
497
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:50,720
Were the last words of Marmion.
498
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,839
"Dearest Mother and Father...
499
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,400
...two weeks from Monday...
500
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,650
...there Is to be prize-giving
in the Speech Room.
501
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,280
I have memorised 600 lines from
Macaulay's Lays of Ancient Rome...
502
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,980
...and If I can get
1000 lines by heart...
503
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,940
...which I will do,
I am bound to get a prize.
504
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,440
So will you please both come down?
505
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,990
Everyone will be there.
And it would make me so happy...
506
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,480
...If you were there
to see me win a prize.
507
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,650
You have never been down
to see me at Harrow. Either of you.
508
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:22,960
And this would be a perfect time.
509
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:24,800
So, dearest Mummy and Papa...
510
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,710
...please, please, please,
do, do, do come.
511
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,260
Your loving son,
Winston S. Churchill."
512
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,440
And under that great battle
513
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,440
The earth with blood was red
514
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,010
And, like the Pomptine fog at morn
515
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,480
The dust hung overhead
516
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,760
And louder still and louder
517
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,080
Rose from the darkened field
518
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,080
The braying of the war-horns
519
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,520
The clang of sword and shield
520
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,200
Come In.
521
00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:55,890
Oh, Dr. Roose, do come In.
522
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,030
- Thank you.
- He Is better, Isn't he?
523
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,090
Oh, do sit down.
I shan't be a moment.
524
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,600
WIIl you have a cup
of coffee with me?
525
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,340
Lady Randolph, I should llke you
to meet Dr. Bluzzard...
526
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,880
...whom I have consulted.
527
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,000
But I thought he was getting better.
528
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,930
L1 am sorry to have to tell you, madame,
that your husband Is very lil.
529
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,160
You must, I fear,
prepare yourself for the worst.
530
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,640
- Dr. Bluzzard.
- We agreed to be frank...
531
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,480
-...with Lady Randolph.
- Frank...
532
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,439
...but I see no necessity to be brutal.
533
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,440
What are you talking about?
534
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,519
Lady Randolph...
535
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,319
...It Is my sad duty to tell you...
536
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,870
...that Lord Randolph Is suffering from
an Incurable disease.
537
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,680
From which, at the most,
he wlil die within five or six years.
538
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,280
Stop!
539
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,400
What are you telling me?
540
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,020
You're talking about a man
who Is only 38 years old!
541
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:54,700
Lady Randolph, please believe
this Is extremely painful for us.
542
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,880
Do sit down.
543
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,560
May we?
544
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,510
Lady Randolph, I am a specialist...
545
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,880
...and what I have to tell you Is...
546
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,210
...1 am sorry to say,
beyond question.
547
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,440
But what Is the cure?
548
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,800
There Is no cure.
549
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:32,720
But what Is It?
Why don't you tell me?
550
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,040
Let us call It...
551
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,200
...an Inflammation of the brain.
552
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,340
In the years to come,
although he wlll seem to recover...
553
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,310
...although he wlll seem at times
to be perfectly normal...
554
00:47:46,240 --> 00:47:49,680
...In fact,
he wlll deteriorate consistently.
555
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,700
He wlil suffer paralysis In his limbs...
556
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,640
...and his speech will become Impaired.
As wlil his mind.
557
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,670
There wliil be periods of violence.
558
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,010
I am sorry, believe me.
But It Is necessary for you to know.
559
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,320
Is It true?
560
00:48:17,720 --> 00:48:19,720
It can't be.
561
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,790
It Isn't true, Is It?
562
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,280
Yes.
563
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,640
Yes, I'm afraid It Is.
564
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:34,960
Oh, my God.
565
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,920
Randolph.
566
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,920
Does he know?
567
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:49,010
No. And In our opinion,
he should never know.
568
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,239
Lady Randolph?
569
00:48:52,240 --> 00:48:54,240
Yes?
570
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,520
How recently have you had...
571
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,000
...physical relations
with your husband?
572
00:49:05,720 --> 00:49:07,480
Why do you ask?
573
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,550
Forgive me, but It Is a matter
of some Importance.
574
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,080
I beg you.
575
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,360
Not for a considerable period.
576
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,030
If It Is necessary for you to know...
577
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,620
...perhaps not for...
578
00:49:33,720 --> 00:49:36,000
...a considerable time.
579
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,530
- Thank God.
- Yes. Thank God.
580
00:49:43,240 --> 00:49:46,330
Neither you nor the two boys
are In any way affected.
581
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,060
But I'm afraid there must be
no further physical relations...
582
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,700
...between you and your husband...
583
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,160
...ever again.
584
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,100
Good morning, Mother.
Good morning, Father.
585
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:08,240
Good morning, Winston.
586
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:28,999
Winston!
587
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,440
Go to your room and stay...
588
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,760
...untll you learn how to behave In
a clvilised manner!
589
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,640
Yes, Father.
590
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,230
Don't you think
that was a little excessive?
591
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,560
His manners are atrocious.
592
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:58,920
1 know.
593
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,110
But most boys are
ugly and tiresome at his age.
594
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:06,340
To the best of my memory,
I was always fairly presentable.
595
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,440
1 do not recall grunting at table
like a plg on heat.
596
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,920
Randolph, we haven't
seen much of Winston this past year.
597
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,880
And he does worship you.
You were right, of course.
598
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,570
- But you were a bit harsh.
- Nonsense.
599
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,690
You don't really think that, do you?
600
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,480
Well, If you ever spoke
to me llke that...
601
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,870
...I'd feel as If you didn't
care about me at all.
602
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,520
Of course.
603
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,180
Perhaps I should
have a chat with him.
604
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,680
Oh, that would be nice.
605
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,500
- Yes, I think I'll do It now.
- Why don't you finish your breakfast?
606
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,950
No. Now would be best.
607
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,680
Father.
608
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,430
I'm awfully sorry, Father.
I'll be better. I promise you, truly.
609
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,280
I'm sure you wlll be.
610
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,880
- We won't talk about It anymore.
- Thank you, Father.
611
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,040
You know, Winston...
612
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,890
...the world of politics can be
very difficult sometimes.
613
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,780
And I have my share of problems
these days.
614
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,780
The things I do are misjudged.
615
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:50,860
Things I say are often distorted.
616
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,410
Perhaps that's why
I'm so often bad-tempered.
617
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,170
Oh, no, Father. You're a great man.
Everyone knows that.
618
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:02,860
Everyone knows Lord Salisbury
treated you very badly.
619
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,780
And you'll show him. All of them.
620
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,000
Thank you.
621
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,280
Thank you, my boy.
622
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,610
Anyway, I think...
623
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:16,760
...older people aren't always...
624
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,880
...particularly considerate
to younger people, to children.
625
00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:22,820
They forget what It was llke
when they were children.
626
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,280
Sometimes,
when they're bad-tempered...
627
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,810
...they speak more harshly than
they think they are or mean to.
628
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,320
Yes, I know, Father.
629
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,650
Well, I think there have been times
when I have done that.
630
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,000
Perhaps this morning.
631
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,360
But I would never...
632
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,400
---wish you to feel...
633
00:53:41,720 --> 00:53:44,630
...that I don't care
for you very much.
634
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:47,920
Because I do.
635
00:53:49,240 --> 00:53:51,770
Thank you, Papa.
ll mean, Father.
636
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:56,480
I say, Winston...
637
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,290
...your collection has become
most Impressive, hasn't I1t?
638
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:01,840
You're rather short of artillery,
aren't you?
639
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:05,710
Yes, Father. Only five fleld guns.
640
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,620
Yes, well. Now, that's not really...
641
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,290
It was one of the three or four...
642
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:18,780
...long, Intimate conversations with him
which are all I can boast.
643
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,340
He spoke In the most wonderful
and captivating manner.
644
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,350
Then when he inspected my troops...
645
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,470
...he displayed such a knowledge
of military affairs...
646
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,000
...that it would have astounded me...
647
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,240
...had I not already been aware
of his breadth of mind.
648
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,840
Winston.
649
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,900
When you grow up,
would you llke to go Into the army?
650
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,560
Would you like me to, Father?
651
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,600
No, It's what you would like
that counts.
652
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:48,800
Well...
653
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,120
...I'm awfully good at history.
654
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,530
Especially about wars and battles
and generals and...
655
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,119
Yes, Father, I'd llke to very much.
656
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,580
- Very much.
- Good.
657
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,250
We'll talk about that agaln later.
658
00:55:02,720 --> 00:55:04,720
There's an army class
at Harrow, isn't there?
659
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,990
I'l have a chat with Welldon,
see what he thinks.
660
00:55:07,720 --> 00:55:09,720
Yes.
661
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,320
Goodbye, Winston.
662
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,320
Goodbye, Father.
663
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:22,000
Womany.
664
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,959
- Womany!
- What Is It, for heaven's sake?
665
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,960
Father talked to me
for the longest time.
666
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,600
And he was so kind.
And I'm going Into the army!
667
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,120
The army?
668
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,079
The army?
669
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,290
He's our son, but we
mustn't blind ourselves, must we?
670
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,479
He's no scholar.
671
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,940
Can you Imagine him
qualifying for the bar...
672
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,760
...or cutting any kind
of figure In politics?
673
00:55:45,240 --> 00:55:48,010
So unless you see
him In the church...
674
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,360
You see, the army's all that's left.
I think It's an Inspiration.
675
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:54,840
We have to get him Into Sandhurst.
676
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,070
And that, of course,
means passing the examination.
677
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,840
The army.
678
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,300
Well, that's three or four years off,
anyway, isn't It?
679
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,270
Unfortunately, It took not one...
680
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:18,690
...but three examinations
to get me into Sandhurst.
681
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,360
Come In.
682
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,760
Did my letter come, Father?
683
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,200
I've been accepted. I passed.
684
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,040
You seem very pleased
with yourself, Winston.
685
00:56:51,240 --> 00:56:53,800
I'm afraid I don't share
your satisfaction.
686
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,080
But I passed.
687
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,640
Yes, you passed.
688
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,740
There are two ways of passing
an examination, Winston...
689
00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:04,340
...one that does you credit
and one that does not.
690
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:06,600
As usual,
you have chosen the latter.
691
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,440
Seventh from the bottom
of the entire class.
692
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,079
But I did pass.
693
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:16,730
Yes. You passed...
694
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,900
...but you failed
to get Into the Infantry.
695
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,359
You merely
scraped Into the cavalry...
696
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:26,550
...which everybody knows
Is the mark of a third-rate pass.
697
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,610
Now, that will cost me an extra...
698
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,990
...200 pounds a year
to get you a horse.
699
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,519
This after all the
months of cramming...
700
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:39,490
...and all the trouble I went to with
the duke to get you Into 60th Rifles...
701
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,690
...one of the finest regiments
In the British army.
702
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,670
But I only failed the Infantry
by 18 marks, Father.
703
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,940
- I'm sorry.
- Sorry?
704
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,480
You are sorry?
705
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,540
Winston, how many times have I
heard that word from you before?
706
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,220
You've had
every possible advantage.
707
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:00,680
Your mother and I have
done everything...
708
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,330
...to make life easy for you.
Remember how you behaved at Eton?
709
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:05,910
- Eton? You mean Harrow--
- Your reports have been...
710
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:10,150
...an embarrassment.
"Untidy, slovenly, bad, lazy.”
711
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:15,800
You're my greatest disappointment.
712
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,940
You lle, you shirk, you boast!
713
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,750
You care nothing for anyone
but yourself, Winston.
714
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,660
Ever since you were a chlid,
you've been...
715
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,160
...a problem to me.
716
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,060
Nothing but trouble and heartache.
717
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,380
What's to become of you, boy?
718
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,090
No, you're no longer a boy,
you're 20. You'll be 21--
719
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:48,810
- No, Father, I-- I'm 19.
- Don't Interrupt me, Winston, please!
720
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,400
Winston...
721
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,110
...If you do not change your ways
at Sandhurst...
722
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:03,090
...If you do not face up
to your responsibliities llke a man...
723
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,420
...If you don't buckle
down, Winston...
724
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,420
...can accept no further responsibliity
for you after your 21st birthday.
725
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,200
If you don't change...
726
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,500
...you'll become Just another...
727
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,230
...public-school failure,
social wastrel...
728
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:28,110
...Ilving out a shabby and a miserable
life to the end of your days.
729
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,380
Do you understand me, Winston?
730
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:35,920
Yes, Father.
731
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,550
Nevertheless, once I became
a gentieman cadet...
732
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,570
...1 acquired a new status
in my father's eyes.
733
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,200
And, when I was on leave...
734
00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:00,590
...was sometimes allowed
to go about with him.
735
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,450
I dearly loved these outings.
736
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:08,590
I had no Idea that he had
less than 18 months to live.
737
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:12,360
Lord Randolph.
738
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,990
- General.
- Good afternoon, sir.
739
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,200
- This your boy?
- Yes. Winston.
740
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:22,650
Winston, you have the privilege
of meeting General Bindon Blood.
741
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,280
How do you do, sir.
742
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,600
Sandhurst, eh? Good, good.
743
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,080
See you In Indla one day, right?
744
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,040
I hope so, sir. I'd like to serve
under you someday, sir.
745
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,600
I mean, In the fleld, sir.
746
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,440
You like a bt of gunpowder, do you?
Good, good.
747
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,280
Well, young fellow,
you do well at Sandhurst...
748
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,570
...and If ever there's another war,
which I doubt, worst luck...
749
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:46,919
...I'll find a place for you.
750
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:48,920
1 glve you my word.
751
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,010
Ambition's a good thing
In a young man, Winston...
752
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,370
...but one mustn't
be too pushy, you know?
753
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,920
Yes, Father.
754
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,360
Hello, Joe.
755
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:15,960
Randolph.
756
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:17,960
I was going to write
to congratulate you...
757
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:19,880
...on this young man's
maiden speech.
758
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:22,300
Excellent, Austen.
Made a fine Impression on the House.
759
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,800
Thank you, sir.
760
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:26,880
You should be
very proud of him, Joe.
761
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:30,460
Yes, I thought It was
a reasonable effort.
762
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:32,440
You've grown, Winston.
763
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,760
- Be an officer soon, eh?
- Hope so, sir.
764
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,320
- Father, I-- I've been thinking.
- Yes?
765
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:53,840
Arthur Balfour Is
Lord Salisbury's nephew.
766
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,020
They're very close,
and he helps Lord Salisbury a lot.
767
01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:59,560
And now that
Austen Chamberlain's an MP...
768
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,200
...he must be
a great help to his father.
769
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:04,559
I was Just wondering...
770
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:09,270
I mean, when I have some leave,
couldn't I help your secretary?
771
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:13,170
I mean, you were your
father's secretary for a while and...
772
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,050
They fancy Rosebery's
gelding In this race.
773
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,640
He's a handsome-enough fellow.
774
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,540
The breeding's there, but
something's lacking In the stamina.
775
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,950
You know? Character.
776
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,370
No, I don't see him winning the race.
777
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:45,090
It was not...
778
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:47,740
...80 long ago...
779
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,020
- Excuse me.
-...In terms of the calendar...
780
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,480
- Excuse me. Hello.
-...honourable members...
781
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:56,720
- Hello, how are you?
-...may recall I made...
782
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,770
...a previous statement.
783
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:05,470
A previous statement...
784
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,830
...made by me...
785
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,950
...on a previous occasion...
786
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,930
...honourable members may recall.
787
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,070
And so I repeat...
788
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,110
...If may...
789
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:36,880
...on that...
790
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:39,120
On that o--
791
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,780
On that o-- Occasion...
792
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,450
On that occasion...
793
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:05,760
...honourable members
may recall I...
794
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:10,990
Her Majesty's government...
795
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,940
Her Majesty's government...
796
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:24,210
...are spending
huge amounts of money...
797
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:28,360
...on army and naval operations.
798
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,570
They are doing so...
799
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:36,760
They are--
800
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:39,120
They are doing so...
801
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:43,020
...without regard to the pledges
they made to the country.
802
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:51,720
Without regard.
803
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:56,360
They are doing so...
804
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,340
...without regard to the pledges
they made to the country.
805
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,200
Without regard...
806
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:06,250
...to the wlil or voice of parliament.
807
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:31,490
That's what I...sald.
808
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:39,120
Must have...
809
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:41,120
...had a reason.
810
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,400
Come along, old friend.
811
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:16,010
He was only 46.
812
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,220
Had he lived
another four or five years...
813
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:21,830
...he could not have
done without me.
814
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:25,190
But all my dreams
of comradeship with him...
815
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:29,480
...of entering parliament
at his side and in his support...
816
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:32,160
...were ended.
817
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:39,350
We buried him near Blenheim...
818
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:44,900
...where both he and I were born.
819
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:55,340
His friend Lord Rosebery
wrote of him:
820
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:59,220
"He was human, eminently human...
821
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,820
...Tull of faults, as he himself knew.
822
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:06,810
But not base or unpardonable faults.
823
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,860
Pugnacious, outrageous...
824
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,360
...1Itful, petulant...
825
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,450
...but eminently
lovable and winning."
826
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:19,770
Not a bad epitaph, at that.
827
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:23,570
Nor one I should mind
having for myself.
828
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:32,720
Now, there remained for me...
829
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,270
...only to pursue his aims...
830
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,740
...and vindicate his memory.
831
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:00,720
Parade...
832
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:04,020
...present arms!
833
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,690
Colour parties, halt!
834
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:22,120
Parade...
835
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,960
...shoulder arms!
836
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:35,110
I passed out of Sandhurst
with honours.
837
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,270
Eighth out of 150.
838
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:42,370
I mention this
only because it shows...
839
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:46,250
...that I could learn quickly enough
the things that mattered.
840
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:15,610
Victoria, by the grace of God...
841
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:19,670
...Queen, Defender of the Faith,
Empress of india...
842
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:24,260
...10 our trusty and well-beloved
Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill...
843
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,310
...gentleman, greeting.
844
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:30,330
We, reposing a special
trust and confidence...
845
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:33,890
...In your loyalty,
courage and good conduct..
846
01:09:34,480 --> 01:09:36,480
...constitute and appoint you...
847
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:40,380
...to be an officer in our land forces
with the rank of 2nd Lieutenant.
848
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:49,760
Four months later...
849
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:53,970
...I lost the one person
who had never failed me.
850
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,210
Elizabeth. Elizabeth...
851
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:05,760
...It's Winston.
852
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:12,320
Do come In.
853
01:10:22,440 --> 01:10:24,440
Winston.
854
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,130
What a good boy you are...
855
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:31,800
...to come and see your old Everest.
856
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,279
You've grown.
857
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:38,280
It's the army.
858
01:10:39,480 --> 01:10:41,970
Do you think they'd take me?
859
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,580
I'm afraid I'm not
much good anymore.
860
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:50,340
Oh, you'll get better, Womany.
You'll see.
861
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:00,790
I was thinking this afternoon
about your father.
862
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:05,360
Do you know what he did?
863
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:10,920
When I retired,
I gave him my savings...
864
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:16,030
-..-and he made a special trip
to the city...
865
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:20,790
...to talk to Lord Rothschlid
about Investing them for me.
866
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:23,520
Now, wasn't that kind?
867
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:28,250
And he, with
80 many cares of his own.
868
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,070
They were cruel to him.
869
01:11:34,480 --> 01:11:36,480
Lord Salisbury...
870
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,930
...that Arthur Balfour
and Mr. Chamberlain.
871
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:43,740
Supposed to be his friends.
872
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:46,950
Broke his heart.
873
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:51,360
You're wet.
874
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,800
- You're soaked through.
- It's raining.
875
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:58,590
You came In the rain? You must
take that off. You'll catch cold.
876
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:01,590
- No. It's all right.
- No. You must take that Jacket off...
877
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,710
...and you must dry It.
Please, dearie.
878
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:08,720
All right, Womany.
In Just a moment.
879
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:16,300
Your boots aren't damp, are they?
880
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,510
No. No, they're dry.
881
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:22,040
Oh, good.
882
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:25,940
It's what glves you toothache,
you know.
883
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,240
Sitting In damp boots.
884
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:34,200
1 know.
885
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,430
Are you enjoying the cavalry, dearie?
886
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:52,879
Very much, Womany.
887
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:54,880
Very much.
888
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:59,360
Next! Arms up.
889
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,000
Next!
890
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,190
Arms up. Next!
891
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:07,599
Walk on!
892
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:09,160
Outward turn.
893
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:11,860
Both rides outward circle!
894
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:14,159
St up! Look up!
895
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,160
Two. Forward. One.
896
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:18,520
Back to your riding position.
897
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:20,640
One! Two!
898
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:22,600
Three! Four!
899
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:24,400
And one! And two!
900
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:26,400
And three! And four!
901
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:29,240
Down the centre.
902
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,120
Walk on.
903
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:35,640
Come along, Mr. Churchill...
904
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:37,920
...you'll have to do better
If you want to go to Indla.
905
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:41,410
“"Mother, darling, India has
nothing more to offer me.
906
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,630
And now that you, unfortunately,
have lost most of our money...
907
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:47,190
...In that American
stockmarket swindle...
908
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:50,100
...1 really must go
to the Sudan with Kitchener.
909
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,090
{ could write another book
or sell some articles.
910
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:57,180
So, please, please,
talk to everyone you can.
911
01:13:59,480 --> 01:14:03,310
By the way, I have met the most
beautiful girl I have ever seen.
912
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,070
Her name Is Pamela Plowden.
913
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:08,660
We are going to do a tour
of Hyderabad tomorrow...
914
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:12,030
...on an elephant.
You have to ride on an elephant...
915
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:14,600
...because If you walk about...
916
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:16,670
...the natives have a habit
of spitting at you...
917
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:20,280
...and crowding you into the gutter.
918
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:24,340
Mother, darling, you won't forget
about Kitchener, will you?"
919
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:27,450
"Darling, as you asked...
920
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:29,920
...I have written
to General Kitchener...
921
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:33,050
...and I should be getting
his reply soon.
922
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:35,940
You will be pleased
to learn, I know...
923
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,890
...that the Prince of Wales
Is reading your book."
924
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:42,000
I cannot resist writing you
these two lines...
925
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:45,610
...to congratulate you
on the success of your book.
926
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:48,610
Everyone Is reading It.
927
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:52,039
But your dear mother tells me...
928
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:54,070
...you are thinking of
resigning your commission...
929
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:57,780
...and standing for parliament.
I hope you will not do so.
930
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:00,680
You have plenty of time before you...
931
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:04,670
...to make your name and your friends
in the army.
932
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,080
And now to Sir lan Hamilton...
933
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,970
...Lord Roberts, Lord Curzon,
Sir Evelyn Wood...
934
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:21,010
...Lord Cromer,
the Prince of Wales...
935
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:25,660
...the prime minister
and Lady Randolph Churchill.
936
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:31,240
Say that I Inslist on the privilege
of selecting my own officers.
937
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,560
Say, as I've already sald
not once but many times before...
938
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:37,960
.--1 have no room for Churchill.
None!
939
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:40,479
- Say that--
- Just arrived, sir.
940
01:15:40,480 --> 01:15:41,920
Say that time grows short...
941
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,340
...and I have many more Important
things to think about...
942
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:48,250
...and that the matter Is closed
finally, definitely and forever.
943
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:51,690
And I don't want to hear
any more about It.
944
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,320
You'll-- You'll dress It up, of course.
945
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:57,320
Certainly, sir.
946
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:18,640
Lady Randolph Churchill...
947
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:21,930
...-widow of
Lord Randolph Churchill...
948
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:26,330
...formerly Miss Jennie Jerome
of New York and Parls.
949
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:31,220
You play, If I may say so,
Lady Randolph, most beautifully.
950
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:34,160
It's been sald you could appear
on the concert stage...
951
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:37,270
...If you desired. And you've glven us
ample proof of that sklil.
952
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:39,160
Thank you.
953
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:41,790
It has also been sald,
no doubt with malice...
954
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:46,150
...that you Interest yourself a great
deal In your son Winston's affairs...
955
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:48,680
...and In his advancement.
956
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:51,030
But I should be a most
unnatural mother If I didn't.
957
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:53,520
Of course.
958
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,880
But there are those who
find an Interesting contrast...
959
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:58,360
...between your efforts
on his behalf now...
960
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:02,150
...and your neglect of him
when he was a chlid.
961
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:05,840
Neglect?
962
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:08,440
But that was never the case.
963
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:11,199
That Is vicious and hurtful.
964
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:13,760
My son never lacked a mother's love.
965
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,900
Naturally, when he was a chlid, he went
off to school. The very best of schools.
966
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:20,660
At home, he had my attention
and a marvellous nanny...
967
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:23,820
...who was with us
almost from the time he was born.
968
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,380
Naturally, I was at the same time
devoted to my husband's career...
969
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:30,730
-...as any wife would be.
- Isee.
970
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:32,760
You do, on occasion...
971
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,740
...entertain or act as hostess
for the Prince of Wales.
972
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:40,250
His Royal Highness finds you
charming, gracious, amusing.
973
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,380
You are at liberty to think so.
974
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,160
But If you are Insinuating
the slightest Impropriety--
975
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:52,220
Not at all, dear lady. Not at all.
Please be calm.
976
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:54,880
I am perfectly calm.
977
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:56,640
Then we can proceed.
978
01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,590
You are aware your name has been
linked with another royal personage...
979
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:02,970
...Count Charles Kinsky,
the well-known sportsman.
980
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:09,480
I don't know what
you mean by "linked."
981
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:13,040
We are friends.
982
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:16,810
- We have been friends for many years.
- Yes, friends. Exactly.
983
01:18:17,440 --> 01:18:20,700
Friends. Yet, at one time, there
was gossip, malicious, of course...
984
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:23,880
...that your marriage to Lord Randolph
was pro forma.
985
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:26,400
In the event of a divorce,
you and Count--
986
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:28,279
There was never
a possibility of divorce.
987
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:31,690
- You and Count Kinsky are still friends?
- Yes.
988
01:18:37,440 --> 01:18:39,650
Charles was married shortly
before my husband dled.
989
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:43,140
Three weeks before,
In his own country, In Austria.
990
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:45,720
He has remained there ever since.
991
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,270
He has great responsibilities there.
992
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:50,800
One last question.
993
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:53,690
What precisely was the nature
of your husband's last lliness?
994
01:18:57,200 --> 01:18:59,200
It Is well-known.
995
01:18:59,480 --> 01:19:01,399
It was caused by overwork.
996
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:03,610
Yes. But the symptoms were
most curious, were they not?
997
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:07,239
I don't know what you mean.
998
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:09,240
Surely you were aware
of your husband's symptoms?
999
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:12,910
- I think this has gone far enough.
- This Is of great Interest to the public.
1000
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:16,150
Is 1t? Why should It be?
1001
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:18,960
Why should It be any concern
to what you call the public?
1002
01:19:19,440 --> 01:19:22,700
The public Is everyone.
And the public has a right to know.
1003
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:25,850
Why? What right?
1004
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:28,360
L1 don't know anything
about such a right.
1005
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:30,560
1 only know about the right
to some privacy!
1006
01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:33,050
Oh, come, come, Lady Randolph.
We llve In modern times.
1007
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:36,710
Surely the word "syphllls®
need hold no terrors for us.
1008
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:44,700
Are you content?
1009
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:48,640
Have you heard?
1010
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:51,490
We've had a death. Young Chapman.
1011
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:54,040
-21st Lancers.
- Really?
1012
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,620
Pity. Just when he was going
out to the Sudan too.
1013
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:01,500
- Yes.
- So we have a vacancy, don't we?
1014
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:04,680
- Yes.
- You know, I was wondering.
1015
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:08,250
- What?
- What about young Churchill?
1016
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:10,980
- Are you mad?
- Well, why not?
1017
01:20:11,440 --> 01:20:13,199
Firstly, If the general twigged...
1018
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:16,080
...he'd have our balls for breakfast.
And secondly, why?
1019
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:19,410
Surely you don't have any use
for that little publicity hunter.
1020
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:21,960
None at all.
1021
01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:25,160
- But his mother's a smasher.
- Yes, I know.
1022
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:29,119
I say, you dog.
1023
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,120
- Do you know her?
- No.
1024
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:33,160
But I'd give anything to meet her.
1025
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:35,240
So, come on, what do you say?
1026
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,770
There's not a chance In the world
the old boy wilil ever...
1027
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:19,620
War office to
Lieutenant Churchlill:
1028
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:23,810
"You will proceed to the 21st Lancers
at your own expense.
1029
01:24:24,480 --> 01:24:27,640
In the event of injury
to yourself or your horse...
1030
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:31,400
...no charge will be made
against army funds.
1031
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:35,020
Sign here, please. Three copies."
1032
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:37,960
"I say, Churchill,
we at the Psychical Research Society...
1033
01:24:38,440 --> 01:24:40,440
...have an interesting
experiment in mind...
1034
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:42,630
...which, as a Journalist,
should Interest you too.
1035
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:45,250
If you should, unfortunately,
get killed...
1036
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:48,210
...will you try to
communicate with us?"
1037
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:11,160
Forward, halt!
1038
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:28,320
Chapman!
1039
01:25:29,480 --> 01:25:31,480
I say, Chapman?
Chapman, are you deaf?
1040
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,360
Oh, sorry, sir. It's Churchilll, sir.
1041
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:37,440
Yes, of course, Churchlil.
1042
01:25:37,440 --> 01:25:39,440
Chapman's the one who's dead.
Sorry about that.
1043
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:41,319
What condition's your horse In?
1044
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:43,320
First-rate.
Not tired, If that's that you mean.
1045
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:46,570
Oh, good. Now, you're the one
who wants to see a show, aren't you?
1046
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:49,720
Report up forward to Colonel
Martin. He'll tell you what to do.
1047
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,050
Yes, sir.
Thank you very much, sir.
1048
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:58,010
Oh, and Chapman--
I mean, Churchill...
1049
01:25:58,480 --> 01:26:01,780
-...my compliments to the colonel.
- Yes, of course, sir.
1050
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:14,080
Sir. Lieutenant Chapman re--
Churchilll.
1051
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:16,320
Sorry, sir.
1052
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:18,320
Lieutenant Churchill reporting
from Major Finn.
1053
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:21,490
- Come with me.
- Sir.
1054
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:23,960
- Your horse reasonably flt?
- Yes, sir.
1055
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:26,650
I've a message I want you to deliver.
1056
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:28,919
I want you to see the situation...
1057
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:30,920
...80 that you can
describe what you've seen.
1058
01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:32,520
Sir.
1059
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,220
Now, our estimate Is something
approaching close on 60,000.
1060
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:38,250
Though It may not seem like It,
they're coming on pretty fast.
1061
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:41,430
I want you to report on what I've told
you and what you've seen...
1062
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:43,960
...personally to General Klitchener.
1063
01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:46,040
Oh, God!
1064
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:48,800
Oh, I'm sorry. I mean, yes, sir.
1065
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:51,780
- You all right, Chapman?
- Yes, sir.
1066
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:02,320
What do I say?
1067
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:06,910
"Lieutenant Churchiil reporting to
General Kitchener"? He'll kill mel
1068
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:11,740
He'll send me home.
He'll have me court-martialled.
1069
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:16,360
He'll skin me alive
before the entire army.
1070
01:27:17,480 --> 01:27:19,510
I'll be ruined.
1071
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:22,140
Oh, my God!
1072
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:37,160
Oh, well. I died for my country.
1073
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:39,480
Sir, I come with a report
from the 21st Lancers.
1074
01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:42,079
The Dervish army Is advancing...
1075
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,080
...between yourself and
the clty of Omdurman.
1076
01:28:44,440 --> 01:28:47,990
Colonel Martin estimates their strength
In the region of 60,000.
1077
01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:51,410
I saw them 40 minutes ago.
They're moving rapidly.
1078
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:54,520
- They're moving rapidly, you say?
- Yes, sir.
1079
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:58,240
How long do you think I've got?
1080
01:28:59,440 --> 01:29:01,279
I would say an hour, sir.
1081
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:03,310
Possibly an hour and a half.
1082
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:16,600
An hour and a half
should be about right.
1083
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:19,360
I hope.
1084
01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:15,960
Flre!
1085
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:44,930
They're breaking, sir!
They're breaking!
1086
01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:06,480
During the mopping-up
operations the next day...
1087
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:09,560
...I took part in
what was destined to become...
1088
01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:13,340
...the last full charge ever
of British cavalry.
1089
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:20,600
Sound the trot.
1090
01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:30,080
Sound troop to the right.
1091
01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:46,680
Sound the charge!
1092
01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:49,200
Charge!
1093
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,560
Charge!
1094
01:32:20,480 --> 01:32:22,650
Charge!
1095
01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:35,560
Bloody hell!
1096
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:14,320
Mr. Winston Churchill...
1097
01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:17,760
...war correspondent, author,
recently resigned from the army...
1098
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:21,980
...and candidate for parilament
for Oldham at the age of 23.
1099
01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:24,640
Twenty-four, actually. In November.
1100
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:26,479
Thank you, Mr. Churchill.
1101
01:33:26,480 --> 01:33:28,870
There Is gossip that
you were detested In the army...
1102
01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:31,360
...where you were known
as a medal hunter...
1103
01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:34,330
...a publicity seeker
and a social climber...
1104
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:37,300
...pushing, aggressive
and scheming.
1105
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:42,200
Forgive me. I'm sorry.
1106
01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:44,200
I was wondering why
a certain kind of person...
1107
01:33:44,480 --> 01:33:46,580
...always seems to believe
the worst about me.
1108
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:48,959
At Sandhurst,
I was accused of belng...
1109
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:50,990
...everything from
a horse thlef to a homosexual.
1110
01:33:51,440 --> 01:33:55,510
And I had to sue for llbel, and win,
to prove my Innocence on both counts.
1111
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:59,050
As to what you have Just said,
I'm sorry to hear It.
1112
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:01,670
I thought I had served
my country faithfully...
1113
01:34:02,120 --> 01:34:04,440
-...at some danger to myself.
- Yes.
1114
01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:07,730
Some officers have stated that
your criticism of General Kitchener...
1115
01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:10,450
...In your new book, The River War,
was Inexcusable.
1116
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:13,000
- Have you read the book?
- No.
1117
01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:15,360
Then perhaps you should read It.
1118
01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:18,140
My statements concerning his atrocious
treatment of enemy wounded...
1119
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:20,240
...were entirely factual.
1120
01:34:20,240 --> 01:34:22,700
As to our victory, although
the enemy had superior numbers...
1121
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:25,159
...they were no match
for a modern army.
1122
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:27,330
I see. Your father also had...
1123
01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:30,960
...a weakness for offending people,
did he not?
1124
01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:33,560
1 wouldn't call It a weakness.
1125
01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:35,880
I would describe It as his strength.
1126
01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:39,240
And I would attribute It
to the strength of his convictions.
1127
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:42,960
My father was a brilliant man.
He had no time for fools.
1128
01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:45,000
Yes. Actually...
1129
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:48,120
...you were not very well acquainted
with your father, were you?
1130
01:34:49,040 --> 01:34:51,600
Not as well as
1 should have llked to have been.
1131
01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:54,680
However, solitary trees...
1132
01:34:55,160 --> 01:34:57,650
...If they grow at all, grow strong.
1133
01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:00,970
Indeed. Something you've read?
1134
01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:03,520
No. Something I have written.
1135
01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:05,600
In my new book, The River War.
1136
01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:07,990
You really should read It.
There are some good things In It.
1137
01:35:08,480 --> 01:35:10,480
Reverting to your father's enemies...
1138
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:13,550
...do you Imagine they will
welcome you Into politics?
1139
01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:16,120
I don't know what you
mean by "enemies.”
1140
01:35:16,280 --> 01:35:18,740
Oh, come now! Lord Salisbury,
who kept him out of government.
1141
01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:21,700
Mr. Balfour, who supported
Lord Salisbury. Mr. Chamberlain...
1142
01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:24,450
...who destroyed your father's
last chance of returning.
1143
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:27,550
- And the others.
- They were never enemies.
1144
01:35:28,080 --> 01:35:29,839
They may have disagreed at times...
1145
01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:31,840
...but that's the nature of politics,
Isn't It?
1146
01:35:32,280 --> 01:35:35,400
Lord Salisbury has been very kind
to me. I dedicated my book to him.
1147
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:38,320
Then you have no cause
to fight for In your father's name?
1148
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:41,680
No wrong to right?
No vendetta to keep allve?
1149
01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:44,240
Vendetta?
1150
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:48,420
That's an Italian word, isn't It?
Nothing like that In England, Is there?
1151
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:51,870
Why are you so friendly with David
Lloyd George, who Is a Liberal?
1152
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:54,400
- I like people.
- People who can help you?
1153
01:35:54,440 --> 01:35:56,440
A young man starting out
In life needs help.
1154
01:35:56,760 --> 01:35:59,150
Don't you think In these times,
politics has little room...
1155
01:35:59,640 --> 01:36:01,710
...for wealthy and privileged
young men?
1156
01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:05,040
I am not wealthy.
I live on what I earn.
1157
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:07,600
And I support my mother
and my younger brother.
1158
01:36:07,880 --> 01:36:10,860
But why exactly do you wish to stand
for parliament, Mr. Churchill?
1159
01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:14,380
- To serve my country.
- And to advance yourself?
1160
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:18,280
- Yes. Is there anything wrong In that?
- Is there anything right In It?
1161
01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:21,520
Who are you to asplire to the
greatest parliament In the world?
1162
01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:26,240
What do you have to offer, other than
your ego and your ambitions?
1163
01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:29,600
Only myself.
1164
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:32,080
I believe In myself.
1165
01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:34,120
I believe In my destiny.
1166
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:36,080
Really?
1167
01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:38,150
Have you consulted
a fortune-teller recently?
1168
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:40,600
As a matter of fact, I have.
1169
01:36:40,720 --> 01:36:42,720
She agrees with me.
1170
01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:46,900
- Is It a crime to be 247
- No, no. Not at all.
1171
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:50,370
What would you like me to do?
Play games?
1172
01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:52,920
Be seen but not heard?
1173
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:55,000
Close my eyes and ears?
1174
01:36:55,040 --> 01:36:57,180
Be a chlld forever?
1175
01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:00,290
Must we always be ruled by old men?
1176
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:02,800
Doesn't every old man In politics...
1177
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:05,630
...betray the wonderful things
he believed In when he was young?
1178
01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:09,210
And by doing that
betray his country?
1179
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:11,940
I think there Is room
for a young man...
1180
01:37:12,400 --> 01:37:14,470
...many young men,
In government.
1181
01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:18,250
If I could, I would say this
to young men all over the world:
1182
01:37:18,880 --> 01:37:21,830
"Come on. You are needed
more than ever now.
1183
01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:25,210
You must take your places
In life's fighting line.
1184
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:28,850
Twenty to 25, those are the years.
1185
01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:32,180
Don't be content
with things as they are.
1186
01:37:32,680 --> 01:37:34,559
Yes, you will make mistakes.
1187
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,020
But as long as
you are generous and true...
1188
01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:41,310
...you cannot hurt the world.
Nor even seriously distress her.
1189
01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:44,460
She was made to be wooed
and won by youth.
1190
01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:49,560
She has lived and thrived
only by repeated subjugations.”
1191
01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:54,680
Well...
1192
01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:57,910
- Something else you have written?
- No.
1193
01:37:58,520 --> 01:38:00,520
No, It's something
I'm going to write, I think.
1194
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:02,360
Really?
1195
01:38:02,360 --> 01:38:04,500
In your autobiography, no doubt.
1196
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:06,960
Yes.
1197
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:10,960
Yes, I think I will write
an autobiography someday.
1198
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:13,740
I think I'll have
something to write about.
1199
01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:17,110
Yes. Well...
1200
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:20,660
The Oldham Evening Chronicle:
1201
01:38:21,120 --> 01:38:23,790
"Young Mr. Winston Churchill's
first attempt to enter politics...
1202
01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:27,200
...has met with defeat.
He has left for South Africa...
1203
01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:30,810
...as a correspondent
to write about our war with the Boers."
1204
01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:41,200
In South Africa,
I had the good luck...
1205
01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:44,350
...10 encounter
a Captain Ayimer Haldane...
1206
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:48,780
...whom I had met in India,
and who had befriended me there.
1207
01:38:49,480 --> 01:38:52,010
He invited me to go out
on a reconnaissance with him...
1208
01:38:52,520 --> 01:38:54,520
...In an armoured train.
1209
01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:01,199
Golng back?
1210
01:39:01,200 --> 01:39:03,730
This Is as far as our orders take us.
1211
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:07,310
Seems qulet enough.
1212
01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:10,160
Let's go and have a spot of breakfast,
shall we?
1213
01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:27,530
You know, Haldane,
I've been thinking.
1214
01:39:28,080 --> 01:39:30,820
After the Malakand Fleld Force,
I went on to the Tirah expedition.
1215
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:33,360
- Do you remember?
- Yes.
1216
01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:36,000
Well, I never did
get my medal for that.
1217
01:39:36,480 --> 01:39:38,480
Now, If you were to write
to the war office...
1218
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:41,590
A medal for the Tirah?
1219
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:44,760
Winston, don't you ever relax?
1220
01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:48,070
I can't. I'm almost 25.
1221
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:50,640
Down!
1222
01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:52,679
Look out!
1223
01:39:52,680 --> 01:39:54,360
On the left!
1224
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:56,890
- Carry on, sarge!
- Enemy left!
1225
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,480
Steady now, lads. Take alm.
Take aim! Good.
1226
01:40:46,240 --> 01:40:48,240
Brakes!
1227
01:40:59,960 --> 01:41:02,630
- Come on, lads. On your feet!
- Take It easy.
1228
01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:08,870
Get up! Take posts!
1229
01:41:10,760 --> 01:41:12,760
Haldane, we're off the ralls!
1230
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:17,320
Shall I go up front
and see what I can do?
1231
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:19,400
Good Idea!I
1232
01:41:19,480 --> 01:41:21,480
Set up, boys!
1233
01:41:22,480 --> 01:41:24,480
- On target.
- Shoot!
1234
01:41:50,400 --> 01:41:51,920
Hey, where are you going?
1235
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:54,970
I'm a clviilan.
l1 don't get pald for being shot at!
1236
01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:57,519
Come back here!
1237
01:41:57,520 --> 01:41:59,590
- Come here! Listen!
- Let go!
1238
01:42:00,040 --> 01:42:03,690
Listen! You've got more chance of being
hit If you run. Listen, I'm a soldier.
1239
01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:06,850
No one ever gets shot
twice on the same day. That's a fact.
1240
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:09,750
You get back In there!
It's the safest place there Is.
1241
01:42:10,240 --> 01:42:12,240
And when this Is over,
you'll get a medal.
1242
01:42:12,480 --> 01:42:15,920
That's a promise. Come on!
I'll go with you.
1243
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:19,310
- Can this engine stlil run?
- Well, It might.
1244
01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:21,970
The track's blocked,
we can't move. Unless we get...
1245
01:42:22,440 --> 01:42:25,210
-...uncoupled from that truck.
- Come on, get In.
1246
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:29,120
- And get It over on Its side.
- Isee.
1247
01:42:29,400 --> 01:42:31,470
And there's no way of doing that.
1248
01:42:32,680 --> 01:42:34,680
We can try.
1249
01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:40,350
Is there an officer here?
1250
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:43,160
Yes! What Is It?
1251
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:46,390
We have to uncouple that truck there
and push It over on Its side!
1252
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:49,170
- Sergeant, bring a dozen men.
- Very good, sir!
1253
01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:51,640
Who was that? A Boer?
1254
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:53,800
Worse than that. He's crazy!
1255
01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:00,280
- Glve him a hand.
- Heave It up from underneath.
1256
01:43:00,560 --> 01:43:02,560
Right.
1257
01:43:05,480 --> 01:43:07,480
It's moving.
1258
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:25,420
Come on! Out you come! Outside!
1259
01:43:26,120 --> 01:43:29,170
Come on, that's It, lads!
Move It now! Move It! Come on!
1260
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:31,790
You men, over here!
1261
01:43:33,640 --> 01:43:35,640
Right, come on.
Get your shoulders under here.
1262
01:43:35,880 --> 01:43:37,880
Come on, men! Come on down!
1263
01:43:42,320 --> 01:43:44,320
Come on, there! Heave!
1264
01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:46,959
Come on! Heave!
1265
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:48,960
Heave!
1266
01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:10,760
Keep It up! Hold It up!
1267
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,080
- Heave!
- Get It up, men!
1268
01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:16,720
Heave!
1269
01:44:17,160 --> 01:44:19,160
Push If!
1270
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:23,999
Right, take cover!
1271
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:26,000
Come on!
1272
01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:44,480
- Did It, by God!
- You didn't get It off the track.
1273
01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:47,640
You sald all we had to do was get It
uncoupled and push It over.
1274
01:44:48,160 --> 01:44:50,079
It was too heavy to get off the track.
1275
01:44:50,080 --> 01:44:52,430
- Well, I'll have to ram It off now.
- Well, ram It off!
1276
01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:57,000
- I don't know If the englne'll run.
- Well, try It!
1277
01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:02,280
Good. Now, go ahead.
1278
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:06,480
- I'll have to back her up first.
- Bloody well back her up, you Idlot!
1279
01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:09,120
Well, you don't have to get excited.
1280
01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:13,930
Get out of the way!
Get out of the way!
1281
01:45:34,440 --> 01:45:36,239
Right. Now, go ahead.
1282
01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:38,240
- And you keep shovelling.
- Yes, sir.
1283
01:45:38,320 --> 01:45:40,460
- We could go off the ralls, you know.
- Go on!
1284
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:42,639
- Here...
- Sorry.
1285
01:45:42,640 --> 01:45:44,640
But go on!
1286
01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:37,850
Oh, Christ!
1287
01:46:51,400 --> 01:46:53,400
Haldane!
1288
01:46:54,480 --> 01:46:56,480
Haldane!
1289
01:46:57,520 --> 01:46:59,770
Move, fusliler! Move, move, move!
1290
01:47:00,320 --> 01:47:02,570
The track ahead's clear,
but we can't get back to you.
1291
01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:05,950
- Anyway, the couplings are smashed.
- Yes, I know. I know, I know.
1292
01:47:06,520 --> 01:47:08,520
Can we load the wounded
onto the engine?
1293
01:47:08,560 --> 01:47:09,840
Yes.
1294
01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:12,680
Well, that's something, I suppose.
The rest of us have to go on foot.
1295
01:47:13,240 --> 01:47:15,039
Thanks, Winston.
I'll remember this.
1296
01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:17,040
So shall I
1297
01:47:19,760 --> 01:47:21,760
Wounded onto-- Onto the engine!
1298
01:47:21,960 --> 01:47:23,960
The rest of us go on foot,
using It as cover.
1299
01:47:24,160 --> 01:47:26,160
Come on, everyone out now!
1300
01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:30,600
Wounded on the engine!
Get the wounded onto the engine!
1301
01:47:37,720 --> 01:47:39,750
Come on, move It on! Move It on!
1302
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:47,000
Easy, easy!
1303
01:47:49,160 --> 01:47:51,160
Move around! Move around!
1304
01:47:57,960 --> 01:48:00,700
- All right?
- I think so.
1305
01:48:01,360 --> 01:48:03,360
All right, go ahead!
1306
01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:07,590
Go ahead! As slow as you can.
1307
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:28,250
Slow down, Winston!
1308
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:32,000
Slow down.
1309
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:34,600
- You're getting ahead of them.
- It's all right. All right.
1310
01:48:42,600 --> 01:48:44,810
Winston, slower!
1311
01:48:45,280 --> 01:48:47,280
Slow down, you damn fool!
1312
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:51,620
For God's sake, Winston!
1313
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:54,119
- Hey, slow down.
- Oh, shut up!
1314
01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:55,720
Slow down, you damned Idlot!
1315
01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:57,930
I can't, you sllly arse.
We're on the downgrade.
1316
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:06,639
I'll klll you!
1317
01:49:06,640 --> 01:49:08,640
I can't help It.
The brakes are gone.
1318
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:49,950
- Now what?
- must go back and get Haldane.
1319
01:49:50,440 --> 01:49:52,440
What, back there? What do I do?
1320
01:49:52,520 --> 01:49:54,520
You walt!
1321
01:49:55,480 --> 01:49:59,340
You walt ten minutes. And then If
you don't see us coming, you can go.
1322
01:50:54,800 --> 01:50:57,120
Pretoria. "We have captured
Lord Churchill...
1323
01:50:57,600 --> 01:50:59,600
...who claims to be
a war correspondent.
1324
01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:01,920
But from our intelligence,
we know he was responsible...
1325
01:51:02,400 --> 01:51:05,140
...for one part of the
armoured train getting away."
1326
01:51:06,920 --> 01:51:09,520
Sir, I am a special correspondent.
1327
01:51:10,040 --> 01:51:13,550
I was unarmed, and I took no part
in the fighting when I was captured.
1328
01:51:14,200 --> 01:51:17,040
I respectfully submit that I should be
released as soon as possible.
1329
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:22,310
On no account Is he to be released,
for the duration of the war.
1330
01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:27,700
I've been watching you two.
You're working on an escape.
1331
01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:31,599
- You're out of your mind.
- I am not.
1332
01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:33,600
But I wlll be If you won't
take me with you.
1333
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:36,000
- Never.
- Be qulet, Brockle.
1334
01:51:36,320 --> 01:51:38,320
We can't use you, Winston.
1335
01:51:38,800 --> 01:51:40,800
You don't know the country
or the language.
1336
01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:44,470
If we got separated,
you wouldn't have a chance.
1337
01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:47,360
Anyway, you'd be the first
to be missed from here.
1338
01:51:47,840 --> 01:51:49,240
Play.
1339
01:51:49,240 --> 01:51:52,750
Haldane, I'm going mad In here.
1340
01:51:53,560 --> 01:51:55,560
And tomorrow's my birthday.
1341
01:51:55,880 --> 01:51:59,290
- Congratulations.
- Oh, shut up. You don't understand.
1342
01:51:59,960 --> 01:52:01,960
I'll be 25.
1343
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:06,390
I can't stay cooped up In here
for the rest of the war.
1344
01:52:10,400 --> 01:52:12,400
Please, Haldane.
1345
01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:14,400
You sald you'd remember
what I did that day.
1346
01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:16,600
Do you remember now?
1347
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:22,700
I wouldn't have been caught
if 1 hadn't gone back for you.
1348
01:52:27,560 --> 01:52:29,000
No.
1349
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:31,000
Do shut up, Brockle.
1350
01:52:33,080 --> 01:52:35,080
I can't think.
1351
01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:41,710
What's for dinner tonight?
Any Idea?
1352
01:52:47,720 --> 01:52:49,720
They're too close.
1353
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:55,720
You're afraid.
1354
01:52:55,920 --> 01:52:57,920
Well, see for yourself.
1355
01:53:18,760 --> 01:53:21,080
- I'll go and look too.
- No, no, walt--
1356
01:53:28,360 --> 01:53:29,920
It was maddening.
1357
01:53:29,920 --> 01:53:33,610
And besides, normally there was
only one guard on duty here.
1358
01:53:34,280 --> 01:53:37,760
The thought crossed my mind
that we were suspected.
1359
01:53:40,760 --> 01:53:43,290
Suddenly, I feit it was now or never.
1360
01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:46,750
And the impuise was
too overpowering to resist.
1361
01:54:13,760 --> 01:54:16,110
But how was I
to inform my comrades?
1362
01:54:16,600 --> 01:54:19,620
Then I heard a heavenly sound.
1363
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:32,000
Who's there?
1364
01:54:32,080 --> 01:54:34,360
İt's Churchill. Keep qulet.
1365
01:54:35,200 --> 01:54:37,520
Churchill? Where are you?
1366
01:54:38,120 --> 01:54:40,120
- What are you doing out there?
- Never mind.
1367
01:54:40,400 --> 01:54:43,280
Just go and tell Haldane and Brockle
right away.
1368
01:54:44,040 --> 01:54:46,990
Oh, I get It. Good show!
1369
01:54:58,720 --> 01:55:00,599
London, The Morning Post.
1370
01:55:00,600 --> 01:55:02,600
"Our special correspondent,

"Although Mr. Churchill's escape
was cleverly executed...
1378
01:55:48,360 --> 01:55:50,990
...there Is little chance of his
being able to cross the border.
1379
01:55:51,520 --> 01:55:55,030
When he Is recaptured,
it Is probable that he will be shot."

My name Is Dr. Bentinck.
1381
01:57:08,240 --> 01:57:10,240
I've had an accident.
1382

Now, what did you say?
1383
01:57:30,680 --> 01:57:32,680
- Are you English?
- Never mind.
1384
01:57:33,040 --> 01:57:34,759
What do you want?
1385
01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:39,010
Oh, I've had an accident. I--
1 fell off a train.
1386
01:57:40,160 --> 01:57:42,860
Well, the truth Is, I'm afraid I'm lost.
1387
01:57:43,400 --> 01:57:45,400
All right.
1388
01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:47,560
Come In.
1389
01:58:14,920 --> 01:58:16,719
Now, then...
1390
01:58:16,720 --> 01:58:19,280
...I think you'd better
tell me the real truth.
1391
01:58:20,080 --> 01:58:22,080
1 think so too.
1392
01:58:23,680 --> 01:58:27,580
My name Is Winston Churchlil. The
correspondent from The Morning Post.
1393
01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:31,300
I escaped from Pretoria last night,
and I'm making for the border.
1394
01:58:31,960 --> 01:58:34,100
1 have 75 pounds.
1395
01:58:34,560 --> 01:58:36,560
WIII you help me?
1396
01:58:43,960 --> 01:58:45,960
By God, It's lucky you came here.
1397
01:58:46,040 --> 01:58:48,290
Only house for 20 mlles
where you wouldn't be handed In.
1398
01:58:48,760 --> 01:58:50,970
My name's Howard. I'm British.
1399
01:58:51,440 --> 01:58:52,999
I'm the manager of this mine.
1400
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:55,030
There are three more of us
keeping the place going.
1401
01:58:55,760 --> 01:58:57,559
The Boers keep an eye on us.
1402
01:58:57,560 --> 01:58:59,560
There were some here this afternoon.
1403
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:02,040
Looking for you.
1404
01:59:02,880 --> 01:59:05,550
- Well, then, perhaps I'd better go.
- Nonsense.
1405
01:59:06,080 --> 01:59:08,680
We'll Just have to be
extremely careful.
1406
01:59:09,920 --> 01:59:11,920
Have a drink, Mr. Churchlil.
1407
01:59:12,880 --> 01:59:14,880
Thank you, Mr. Howard.
1408
01:59:21,200 --> 01:59:23,200
This Is our engine man, Mr. Dewsnap.
1409
01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:26,200
Stay with him for a moment
while I get the food and blankets.
1410
01:59:26,720 --> 01:59:29,490
- Are the others ready?
- Waiting down below, sir.
1411
01:59:35,240 --> 01:59:37,240
I know who you are.
1412
01:59:38,080 --> 01:59:40,780
You're young
Winston-bloody-Churchilil.
1413
01:59:41,440 --> 01:59:44,070
Don't worry.
I'm from Oldham, you see.
1414
01:59:44,600 --> 01:59:46,880
Me wife writes to me regular.
1415
01:59:47,360 --> 01:59:49,820
She told me how you got beat
at last election.
1416
01:59:50,320 --> 01:59:54,040
Don't worry, lad.
You'll get all their votes next time.
1417
01:59:56,520 --> 01:59:57,840
Right. Come on, now.
1418
01:59:57,840 --> 02:00:00,190
Watch your step here.
Don't trip over the tracks.
1419
02:00:02,500 --> 02:00:04,379
Round the other side.
1420
02:00:04,380 --> 02:00:06,910
I couldn't bring much food.
The housemaids are all Boers.
1421
02:00:07,420 --> 02:00:09,420
Can't take the risk.
1422
02:00:09,620 --> 02:00:11,620
Take one of these, lad.
1423
02:00:12,220 --> 02:00:16,260
Ever been down a coalmine before?
I think you'll find It an experience.
1424
02:00:21,420 --> 02:00:23,520
Not very comfortable, I'm afraid.
1425
02:00:23,980 --> 02:00:26,150
But you mustn't move away from here,
whatever happens.
1426
02:00:26,620 --> 02:00:29,640
I'll try to bring you more food
tomorrow. You'll be all right, won't you?
1427
02:00:30,220 --> 02:00:33,770
Of course. It's very cosy.
Just llke home.
1428
02:00:34,540 --> 02:00:36,820
Well, Mr. Howard, gentiemen...
1429
02:00:37,300 --> 02:00:39,860
-...thank you very much.
- Our pleasure.
1430
02:01:05,660 --> 02:01:08,120
You've been shamefully careless
with this watch, Winston.
1431
02:01:08,700 --> 02:01:10,700
The repair bill was very expensive.
1432
02:01:11,020 --> 02:01:13,120
If you can't take proper care
of a fine watch...
1433
02:01:13,580 --> 02:01:15,790
...you don't deserve to have one.
1434
02:01:18,060 --> 02:01:20,060
Yes, Father.
1435
02:01:22,100 --> 02:01:25,890
I remained underground
for three days and nights...
1436
02:01:26,580 --> 02:01:31,000
...while the brave Mr. Howard planned
how to spirit me across the border...
1437
02:01:31,780 --> 02:01:33,920
...to Portuguese East Africa...
1438
02:01:34,380 --> 02:01:37,890
...from whence I could take ship
to British territory.
1439
02:02:11,500 --> 02:02:13,500
Thank you, Mr. Dewsnap.
1440
02:02:44,900 --> 02:02:48,520

soon be a prisoner again."

Johannesburg.
1448

Paris. "There Is no confirmation
that Mr. Churchill has been captured.

1455
02:03:33,220 --> 02:03:35,220
...or If he Is allve and well."
1456
02:03:36,300 --> 02:03:38,300
I was not yet aware...
1457
02:03:38,500 --> 02:03:42,710
...that I had leapt from a latrine
into world celebrity.

Ladles and gentlemen...
1469
02:05:23,100 --> 02:05:26,050
...a man who,
after his daring escape...
1470
02:05:26,620 --> 02:05:28,620
...rejoined the army of his country...
1471

...distinguished himself again
and agaln In battle...
1472

...from the very same prison
he escaped from.
1474

1 glve you...

02:06:07,180 --> 02:06:09,180

Ladles and gentlemen of Oldham.
1477
02:06:14,540 --> 02:06:16,540
Friends.
1478
02:06:16,700 --> 02:06:19,580
I promised Mr. Daniel Dewsnap...
1479
02:06:20,740 --> 02:06:24,880
...without whose wonderful help
1 should not be here tonight...
1480
02:06:26,460 --> 02:06:29,370
...that the first time
I returned to Oldham...
1481
02:06:29,940 --> 02:06:32,260
---1 would give his love to his wife.
1482
02:06:32,740 --> 02:06:35,790
She's here! She's right there!
1483
02:07:00,660 --> 02:07:02,870
And thus, at my second attempt...
1484
02:07:03,340 --> 02:07:06,360
...the Tory electors of Oldham
sent me victorious...
1485
02:07:06,940 --> 02:07:09,570
...Into the mother of parliaments.
1486
02:07:37,140 --> 02:07:39,350
The Times.
"In raising his amendment...
1487
02:07:39,820 --> 02:07:42,280
...against the government's bill
on military expenditure...
1488
02:07:42,780 --> 02:07:45,480

...5eems bent, after one short
and promising year in the House...
1490
02:07:49,380 --> 02:07:53,140
...on repeating the most disastrous
mistake of his father's career."
1491
02:07:58,540 --> 02:08:00,419
ll don't understand.
1492
02:08:00,420 --> 02:08:03,090
- I wish I could understand.
- Does It really matter?
1493
02:08:04,100 --> 02:08:07,260
Yes, It does matter.
It matters very much to me.
1494
02:08:09,420 --> 02:08:13,320
I never understood your father when he
did what he did, throwing his life away.
1495
02:08:14,020 --> 02:08:17,250
And now you're doing the same thing.
Only this time, I know In advance.
1496
02:08:17,860 --> 02:08:20,670
You're being dramatlic.
I'm not throwing my life away.
1497
02:08:21,220 --> 02:08:25,080
But you are, my darling.
Everything you've worked so hard for.
1498
02:08:26,020 --> 02:08:28,510
I've had a note from Arthur Balfour.
1499
02:08:31,780 --> 02:08:33,220
No, thank you.
1500
02:08:33,220 --> 02:08:35,920
He says the prime minister's
very angry with you.
1501
02:08:45,700 --> 02:08:47,500
Winston, you can't attack...
1502
02:08:47,500 --> 02:08:50,200
...the three most Important men In
your party, In the government...
1503
02:08:50,740 --> 02:08:54,530
...and think that they'll forgive and
forget. You'll be finished after tonight.
1504
02:08:55,260 --> 02:08:57,260
We'll see.
1505
02:08:57,580 --> 02:08:59,100
Oh, Winston.
1506
02:08:59,100 --> 02:09:01,100
- It Isn't Pamela, Is I1t? Because--
- Pamela?
1507
02:09:01,420 --> 02:09:03,420
No, of course not.
1508
02:09:03,820 --> 02:09:05,579
Of course I loved Pamela.
1509
02:09:05,580 --> 02:09:07,580
Still do.
1510
02:09:07,620 --> 02:09:09,620
I'll never love another woman.
1511
02:09:09,820 --> 02:09:12,280
But she had every right and reason
to marry an earl.
1512
02:09:13,660 --> 02:09:15,760
A "belted" earl,
as you Americans say.
1513
02:09:29,260 --> 02:09:33,440
I do wish you weren't so friendly with
Lloyd George. An odious little man.
1514
02:09:34,180 --> 02:09:37,230
He has the most annoying
way of looking at women.
1515
02:09:40,180 --> 02:09:43,730
I'm sorry, darling, I must go.
Sign for me, wlil you, please?
1516
02:09:44,380 --> 02:09:46,380
Winston...
1517
02:09:47,380 --> 02:09:49,380
...for my sake.
1518
02:09:50,860 --> 02:09:52,860
I'm begging you.
1519
02:09:53,140 --> 02:09:55,740
Don't move your amendment.
Don't speak tonight.
1520
02:09:56,260 --> 02:09:58,260
Please.
1521
02:09:59,660 --> 02:10:01,660
Good evening. Good evening.
1522
02:10:04,860 --> 02:10:08,440
Are you prepared to face these savage
beasts who even now are lylng In walt?
1523
02:10:09,100 --> 02:10:10,860
As prepared as I'll ever be.
1524
02:10:10,860 --> 02:10:13,980
- Excuse me, sir.
- Oh, I'll deal with this, Mother.
1525
02:10:15,220 --> 02:10:17,390
I Intend to escort your son
to the arena.
1526
02:10:17,860 --> 02:10:20,740
You're very kind.
Winston speaks of you often.
1527
02:10:21,300 --> 02:10:25,020
Oh, we are great friends, I trust,
despite our political differences.
1528
02:10:25,700 --> 02:10:28,580
Your presence In the House tonight
makes It a special occasion.
1529
02:10:29,140 --> 02:10:31,420
L1 am sure It will Inspire
all the speakers.
1530
02:10:31,900 --> 02:10:33,380
Are you speaking tonight?
1531
02:10:33,380 --> 02:10:36,470
No, no. I shall be listening with
great Interest to your son.
1532
02:10:37,060 --> 02:10:40,390
Well, now, Winston, I sald
I would escort you, so let us go.
1533
02:10:41,020 --> 02:10:43,830
I hope one day to escort him
to the other side of the floor.
1534
02:10:44,380 --> 02:10:46,380
Heaven forbid.
1535
02:10:56,380 --> 02:10:58,220
Lovely lady, your mother.
1536
02:10:58,220 --> 02:11:00,360
- Has she talked you out of It?
- No.
1537
02:11:00,820 --> 02:11:04,750
He'll have your head. Lord Salisbury
never forgets, as you should know.
1538
02:11:05,740 --> 02:11:08,860
Well, there'll always be room for you
In the Liberal Party.
1539
02:11:09,460 --> 02:11:11,460
Why don't you quit the Tories
and come over to us?
1540
02:11:11,900 --> 02:11:13,900
Never.
1541
02:11:14,380 --> 02:11:16,380
Good luck.
1542
02:11:19,540 --> 02:11:21,540
Excuse me.
1543
02:11:28,140 --> 02:11:30,140
--To a thorough sweeping...
1544
02:11:30,180 --> 02:11:33,970
...and almost revolutionary
reconstruction of the army...
1545
02:11:34,660 --> 02:11:38,350
...we have failed to rise
to the hopes of the country.
1546
02:11:39,860 --> 02:11:41,860
Is there any competent authority...
1547
02:11:42,300 --> 02:11:45,950
...who really believes that
the right honourable gentleman...
1548
02:11:46,620 --> 02:11:49,670
...has made the best
of his opportunities?
1549
02:11:51,300 --> 02:11:53,300
Hear, hear! Hear, hear!
1550
02:11:53,340 --> 02:11:55,340
Hear, hear!
1551
02:11:57,420 --> 02:11:59,420
Mr. Churchlil.
1552
02:12:08,340 --> 02:12:10,340
Mr. Speaker...
1553
02:12:11,260 --> 02:12:16,630
--.1 stand here tonight
to plead the cause of economy.
1554
02:12:17,740 --> 02:12:21,880
It may be, at some other time
and under other circumstances...
1555
02:12:22,620 --> 02:12:24,790
---1 may take a directly
opposite position.
1556
02:12:25,420 --> 02:12:29,420
But tonight, I speak on behalf
of military economy...
1557
02:12:30,220 --> 02:12:33,480
-...and retrenchment.
- Hear, hear!
1558
02:12:34,780 --> 02:12:38,610
The secretary of state for war
Is asking...
1559
02:12:39,340 --> 02:12:42,040
...Indeed d.mandlng...
1560
02:12:42,580 --> 02:12:44,970
...a great deal of money.
1561
02:12:45,820 --> 02:12:48,170
1 do not think he should have It.
1562
02:12:50,260 --> 02:12:52,060
I say It humbly...
1563
02:12:52,060 --> 02:12:54,620
...but with, I hope, becoming pride...
1564
02:12:55,300 --> 02:12:58,630
-..-no one has a better right
to this position than I have.
1565
02:12:59,260 --> 02:13:01,260
For It Is a cause I have Inherited.
1566
02:13:01,700 --> 02:13:04,960
And It Is a cause for which
the late Lord Randolph Churchlil...
1567
02:13:05,580 --> 02:13:09,130
...made the greatest sacrifice
of any minister of modern times.
1568
02:13:09,780 --> 02:13:11,880
I am glad the House
has allowed me...
1569
02:13:12,340 --> 02:13:14,590
...after an Interval of 15 years...
1570
02:13:15,060 --> 02:13:17,690
...to lift agaln the tattered flag...
1571
02:13:18,220 --> 02:13:22,190
...that I found lying
on a stricken fleld.
1572
02:13:24,540 --> 02:13:26,540
It Is quite recent history.
1573
02:13:27,500 --> 02:13:30,270
Lord Randolph
was chancellor of the exchequer.
1574
02:13:30,820 --> 02:13:34,300
Lord Salisbury was prime minister.
As he Is now.
1575
02:13:35,380 --> 02:13:37,910
And on this same Issue of economy...
1576
02:13:38,460 --> 02:13:41,510
--.-.Lord Randolph Churchill
went down.
1577
02:13:42,100 --> 02:13:44,100
Forever.
1578
02:13:47,620 --> 02:13:50,320
But wise words, sir...
1579
02:13:50,860 --> 02:13:53,320
...stand the test of time.
1580
02:13:53,820 --> 02:13:56,490
And his words were wise.
1581
02:13:58,780 --> 02:14:00,920
I have frequently been surprised...
1582
02:14:01,820 --> 02:14:03,820
...slnce I have been In this House...
1583
02:14:04,220 --> 02:14:07,840
...to hear with what composure
and how glibly...
1584
02:14:08,500 --> 02:14:11,410
...members and even ministers...
1585
02:14:11,980 --> 02:14:15,700
...talk of a European war.
1586
02:14:16,660 --> 02:14:18,420
I say, sir...
1587
02:14:18,420 --> 02:14:21,090
...we must not regard modern war...
1588
02:14:21,660 --> 02:14:24,500
...as a kind of game
In which we may take a hand...
1589
02:14:25,060 --> 02:14:27,060
...and with good luck
and good management...
1590
02:14:27,460 --> 02:14:29,460
...play adroitly for an evening.
1591
02:14:29,460 --> 02:14:32,620
And when we have had enough,
come safely home with our winnings.
1592
02:14:33,220 --> 02:14:34,900
Hear, hear!
1593
02:14:34,900 --> 02:14:36,900
Oh, no, sir.
1594
02:14:36,940 --> 02:14:39,780
It Is no longer a game.
1595
02:14:41,380 --> 02:14:43,380
A European war...
1596
02:14:44,020 --> 02:14:48,940
...cannot be anything but
a cruel and heart-rending struggle...
1597
02:14:49,780 --> 02:14:53,710
...which, If we are ever to enjoy
the bitter fruits of victory...
1598
02:14:54,420 --> 02:14:57,260
...must demand, perhaps for years...
1599
02:14:57,820 --> 02:15:00,140
...the whole manhood of the nation...
1600
02:15:00,620 --> 02:15:03,110
...the entire suspension
of peaceful Industries...
1601
02:15:03,700 --> 02:15:06,300
...and the concentrating
to only one end...
1602
02:15:06,820 --> 02:15:09,630
...of every vital agency
In the community.
1603
02:15:10,180 --> 02:15:12,210
- Hear, hear!
- Yes.
1604
02:15:12,660 --> 02:15:15,080
It may be that the human race
Is doomed...
1605
02:15:15,580 --> 02:15:17,790
...never to learn from Its mistakes.
1606
02:15:18,260 --> 02:15:20,930
We are the only animals
on this globe...
1607
02:15:21,460 --> 02:15:24,690
...who periodically set out
to slaughter each other...
1608
02:15:25,300 --> 02:15:29,410
...for the best, the noblest,
the most Inescapable of reasons.
1609
02:15:30,300 --> 02:15:31,780
We know better...
1610
02:15:31,780 --> 02:15:36,060
...but we do It agaln and agaln,
In generation after generation.
1611
02:15:36,820 --> 02:15:39,630
It may be that our empire too,
Is doomed...
1612
02:15:40,180 --> 02:15:42,320
...Ilke all those that
have gone before It...
1613
02:15:42,780 --> 02:15:47,770
...to continue to splll and waste
Its best blood on foreign soll...
1614
02:15:48,620 --> 02:15:51,360
...no matter what we say
or do In this place...
1615
02:15:51,900 --> 02:15:56,080
...or think or believe
or have learned from history.
1616
02:15:56,820 --> 02:16:00,120
But thank God for us...
1617
02:16:00,740 --> 02:16:05,020
...there Is still such a thing
as moral force.
1618
02:16:05,780 --> 02:16:08,760
And In spite of
every calumny and lle...
1619
02:16:09,340 --> 02:16:11,340
...It Is known that
upon the whole--
1620
02:16:11,660 --> 02:16:15,210
And It Is upon the whole that
such things must be Judged.
1621
02:16:15,860 --> 02:16:19,340
--British Influence Is a healthy...
1622
02:16:19,980 --> 02:16:21,980
...and a kindly Influence.
1623
02:16:22,300 --> 02:16:24,470
And so I say, sir...
1624
02:16:24,940 --> 02:16:28,240
...at this particular
moment In history...
1625
02:16:28,860 --> 02:16:31,600
...we would make a fatal bargain...
1626
02:16:32,140 --> 02:16:34,740
...If we allow the moral force...
1627
02:16:35,260 --> 02:16:38,210
...which this country
has for so long exerted...
1628
02:16:38,780 --> 02:16:42,610
...to become diminished,
or perhaps destroyed...
1629
02:16:43,300 --> 02:16:46,740
...for the sake of the costly,
trumpery...
1630
02:16:47,380 --> 02:16:50,540
...dangerous military playthings...
1631
02:16:51,140 --> 02:16:53,840
...upon which the secretary
of state for war...
1632
02:16:54,380 --> 02:16:56,700
...has set his heart.
1633
02:17:06,420 --> 02:17:07,980
- Hear, hear!
- Hear, hear!
1634
02:17:07,980 --> 02:17:09,980
Hear, hear!
1635
02:17:25,460 --> 02:17:26,780
The Times.
1636
02:17:26,780 --> 02:17:29,520
“Mr. Winston Churchill's outburst
brought forth some cheers...
1637
02:17:30,060 --> 02:17:32,200
...but not, It should be noted,
from his own party."
1638
02:17:32,660 --> 02:17:34,660
- Congratulations.
- Thank you very much.
1639
02:17:36,340 --> 02:17:38,340
The Morning Post, London.
1640
02:17:38,700 --> 02:17:40,730
"Mr. Winston Churchill,
last night served notice...
1641
02:17:41,180 --> 02:17:43,210
...that there Is a young lion
loose in the House...
1642
02:17:43,660 --> 02:17:45,660
...and the lion has sharp claws."
1643
02:17:45,780 --> 02:17:47,780
Well, well.
1644
02:17:48,780 --> 02:17:51,240
I deeply suspect
what you've done tonight, and yet...
1645
02:17:51,740 --> 02:17:56,060
---1 have to believe you were
completely sincere. And very brave.
1646
02:17:58,900 --> 02:18:00,699
You know, Churchill...
1647
02:18:00,700 --> 02:18:03,400
...you're a chlid of your class,
and you may never outgrow It.
1648
02:18:06,180 --> 02:18:08,180
But you've got something.
1649
02:18:34,380 --> 02:18:36,380
Congratulations.
1650
02:18:37,180 --> 02:18:39,180
Thank you.
1651
02:18:39,340 --> 02:18:41,620
1 looked for you.
But when I couldn't find you...
1652
02:18:42,780 --> 02:18:44,780
---1 thought you might be here.
1653
02:18:48,540 --> 02:18:50,540
Well.
1654
02:18:51,940 --> 02:18:53,940
You think I still have a career?
1655
02:18:55,420 --> 02:18:57,420
We shall have to walt and see,
won't we?
1656
02:19:03,300 --> 02:19:05,300
How do you feel?
1657
02:19:05,380 --> 02:19:07,380
Tired.
1658
02:19:07,980 --> 02:19:09,980
Tired but free.
1659
02:19:11,100 --> 02:19:13,560
It's odd. I feel free.
1660
02:19:17,020 --> 02:19:18,979
Sorry, darling, a brandy?
1661
02:19:18,980 --> 02:19:20,980
No.
1662
02:19:23,500 --> 02:19:25,500
1 don't know.
1663
02:19:28,060 --> 02:19:30,060
It's llke when I escaped.
1664
02:19:30,900 --> 02:19:33,180
When I first knew I was really free.
1665
02:19:35,300 --> 02:19:37,300
It's odd.
1666
02:19:41,580 --> 02:19:43,580
Oh, Mother...
1667
02:19:44,460 --> 02:19:46,460
...1 saw a girl tonight.
1668
02:19:46,900 --> 02:19:48,700
Tall, falr-haired.
1669
02:19:48,700 --> 02:19:50,700
Rather lovely, I thought.
1670
02:19:51,180 --> 02:19:53,180
Dressed In pale yellow, I think.
1671
02:19:53,460 --> 02:19:55,950
You didn't see anyone llke that
In the gallery, did you?
1672
02:19:58,420 --> 02:20:00,100
Yes.
1673
02:20:00,100 --> 02:20:03,050
There was one young woman
who more or less fits that description.
1674
02:20:06,100 --> 02:20:08,100
Well, you know everyone.
You wouldn't...?
1675
02:20:10,380 --> 02:20:13,640
Well, yes.
As a matter of fact, I do.
1676
02:20:14,260 --> 02:20:16,400
You must mean Clementine Hozler.
1677
02:20:16,860 --> 02:20:20,620
Your Uncle Jack almost dropped her
In the font when she was christened.
1678
02:20:22,180 --> 02:20:25,270
- Did he, now?
- Yes.
1679
02:20:29,220 --> 02:20:30,940
It was an end...
1680
02:20:30,940 --> 02:20:33,040
...and a beginning.
1681
02:20:33,580 --> 02:20:36,600
My darling mother
continued on her headiong...
1682
02:20:37,180 --> 02:20:41,110
...headstrong, but always gallant
and courageous way...
1683
02:20:41,820 --> 02:20:43,920
...whiist, seven years later...
1684
02:20:44,380 --> 02:20:47,290
...Clementine Hozler and I
were married...
1685
02:20:47,860 --> 02:20:51,190
...and lived happily
ever afterwards.
