1
00:04:15,707 --> 00:04:19,502
"Mr. Speaker,
will the 30s go down as the decade...
2
00:04:20,295 --> 00:04:22,589
"which witnessed the destruction...
3
00:04:22,672 --> 00:04:24,883
"and downfall of the British empire?"
4
00:04:26,968 --> 00:04:29,888
"That witnessed
the wanton self-destruction...
5
00:04:32,224 --> 00:04:33,558
"of the British empire?"
6
00:04:34,726 --> 00:04:37,520
"If India were granted...
7
00:04:38,605 --> 00:04:40,482
"self-government...
8
00:04:40,774 --> 00:04:44,361
"it would mark the downfall
of the British empire."
9
00:04:46,863 --> 00:04:50,075
"It would mark and consummate...
10
00:04:51,201 --> 00:04:53,912
"the downfall of the British empire."
11
00:05:09,261 --> 00:05:11,179
Mr. Inches, you're wanted!
12
00:05:13,265 --> 00:05:14,558
On my way.
13
00:05:33,743 --> 00:05:35,579
- Good morning.
- Good morning, madam.
14
00:05:35,662 --> 00:05:38,415
Have to do something
about Miss Sarah's gramophone.
15
00:05:38,456 --> 00:05:41,293
I don't want to start the day
with a family altercation.
16
00:05:41,376 --> 00:05:42,794
- No, madam.
- Hello, Mommy.
17
00:05:42,878 --> 00:05:44,254
Good morning, darling.
18
00:05:46,965 --> 00:05:50,093
Inches, kindly tell my daughter
to turn off that bloody gramophone.
19
00:05:50,176 --> 00:05:52,012
Trashy music all over the house.
20
00:05:52,095 --> 00:05:53,221
There you go, sir.
21
00:05:53,805 --> 00:05:56,141
She knows I can't stand it.
Why does she do it?
22
00:05:56,224 --> 00:05:58,143
Leave it to me, sir, will you?
23
00:06:00,103 --> 00:06:01,521
Have you been drinking?
24
00:06:01,605 --> 00:06:03,690
This time of the morning, sir? Certainly not.
25
00:06:03,773 --> 00:06:06,610
If you have,
I hope it's your damn whisdey and not mine.
26
00:06:10,113 --> 00:06:11,740
What time is Mrs. P coming?
27
00:06:11,823 --> 00:06:13,116
Early afternoon, sir.
28
00:06:13,158 --> 00:06:17,287
- Early afternoon? Why not this morning?
- Because you told her to come after lunch.
29
00:06:17,329 --> 00:06:19,623
Pure invention, I did nothing of the sort.
30
00:06:19,664 --> 00:06:21,541
You said you're going
to town this morning...
31
00:06:21,625 --> 00:06:23,960
so she would not be required
until after lunch.
32
00:06:24,002 --> 00:06:26,254
I've changed my mind,
I need to redraft the speech.
33
00:06:26,338 --> 00:06:27,923
- Get her here now!
- Yes, sir.
34
00:06:30,926 --> 00:06:32,677
- Thank you.
- Mrs. Churchill?
35
00:06:33,178 --> 00:06:35,180
- Mrs. Landing.
- Good morning, madam.
36
00:06:35,222 --> 00:06:37,224
Is something the matter? What's wrong?
37
00:06:37,307 --> 00:06:38,850
It's Mr. Monds, madam.
38
00:06:38,934 --> 00:06:40,977
- Butcher?
- Yes, madam.
39
00:06:41,269 --> 00:06:43,855
It seems we haven't paid
his bill for several weeks.
40
00:06:43,939 --> 00:06:49,027
And he says he'd rather not provide us with
any more meat until the account's settled.
41
00:06:51,196 --> 00:06:52,781
Inches!
42
00:06:53,073 --> 00:06:56,117
I'll write a checd and you send
one of the girls to deliver it.
43
00:06:56,201 --> 00:06:57,410
Thank you.
44
00:06:57,494 --> 00:06:59,204
Inches, liver salts.
45
00:07:03,458 --> 00:07:05,001
Good morning, sir.
46
00:07:06,545 --> 00:07:08,713
- Good morning.
- Morning.
47
00:07:12,884 --> 00:07:15,887
- Randolph, you look dreadful.
- Thank you, Mama.
48
00:07:15,971 --> 00:07:18,181
All those double brandies late last night.
49
00:07:18,223 --> 00:07:21,685
I'm not in the same league
as my beloved papa.
50
00:07:21,726 --> 00:07:24,437
It's very bad of a young man
to drink so much...
51
00:07:24,521 --> 00:07:27,357
Don't start nagging
at this time of the morning, please?
52
00:07:27,524 --> 00:07:28,900
Let me wade up first.
53
00:07:32,571 --> 00:07:33,530
Who is it?
54
00:07:33,613 --> 00:07:36,116
Winston, have you paid Mr. Monds?
55
00:07:36,575 --> 00:07:38,910
The butcher from Westerham,
have you paid his bills?
56
00:07:38,994 --> 00:07:41,872
My dear Clemmie,
I'm trying to save India from Mr. Gandhi...
57
00:07:41,913 --> 00:07:45,750
and his gang of subversive Hindus,
to save British imperial power...
58
00:07:45,834 --> 00:07:48,503
from a disastrous eclipse,
and save the Tory Party...
59
00:07:48,587 --> 00:07:50,964
from an act of shame and dishonor.
60
00:07:51,047 --> 00:07:53,258
In other words, you haven't paid the bill.
61
00:07:53,341 --> 00:07:56,136
For God's sake, woman,
I can't do everything!
62
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,528
Good morning, Mrs. P!
63
00:08:13,612 --> 00:08:15,906
Good morning, Mary! How's she going?
64
00:08:15,989 --> 00:08:17,032
Fine, thank you.
65
00:08:17,115 --> 00:08:18,700
You look lovely!
66
00:08:19,701 --> 00:08:21,536
I thought he said after lunch.
67
00:08:21,620 --> 00:08:23,455
He did. He's changed his mind.
68
00:08:23,538 --> 00:08:27,292
I wish he didn't do that. I have to take
the girls to Westerham to buy shoes.
69
00:08:27,375 --> 00:08:29,878
Heaven knows when
I'll get another opportunity.
70
00:08:31,630 --> 00:08:33,632
- Mr. Churchill?
- Mrs. P, at last!
71
00:08:33,715 --> 00:08:34,716
Good morning.
72
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:37,719
We have much to do
and very little time in which to do it.
73
00:08:37,969 --> 00:08:42,098
Inches, please tell Mr. Churchill
I've decided to go to town with him.
74
00:08:42,140 --> 00:08:45,060
- What time will he be leaving?
- 11:30, madam. On the dot.
75
00:08:47,354 --> 00:08:49,189
We'll revise this speech...
76
00:08:49,314 --> 00:08:52,400
and go on to the second chapter...
77
00:08:52,651 --> 00:08:54,152
on the way up to London.
78
00:08:54,569 --> 00:08:56,947
- Today?
- Anything wrong with that?
79
00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:59,950
No, of course not, Mr. Churchill.
80
00:09:00,158 --> 00:09:03,119
And bring my notes
for the Battle of Blenheim.
81
00:09:08,416 --> 00:09:12,045
- Clemmie, did I keep you waiting?
- Not more than usual.
82
00:09:12,128 --> 00:09:14,589
- Good morning, Mrs. Churchill.
- How are you, Mrs. P?
83
00:09:14,673 --> 00:09:17,509
- I think I'm fine...
- As happy as a clam, aren't you?
84
00:09:17,592 --> 00:09:20,220
Don't let him boss you about,
he's a dreadful bully.
85
00:09:20,303 --> 00:09:22,556
Nonsense, Mrs. P adores me.
86
00:09:33,525 --> 00:09:36,861
- How are you getting on with your book?
- Very well.
87
00:09:36,945 --> 00:09:39,489
Volume 2, Chapter 20,
the Battle of Blenheim.
88
00:09:39,573 --> 00:09:41,658
We're already on page 800 and something.
89
00:09:41,741 --> 00:09:44,995
I think the publishers
hoped for something a little shorter.
90
00:09:45,078 --> 00:09:47,622
Bugger the publishers,
this is more than a biography.
91
00:09:47,706 --> 00:09:49,082
It's a panegyric...
92
00:09:49,165 --> 00:09:52,210
a tribute to my great
and illustrious ancestor.
93
00:09:52,335 --> 00:09:55,881
Get a move on, Jenner, overtake!
94
00:10:00,886 --> 00:10:04,014
Remember when Randolph and I went off...
95
00:10:04,097 --> 00:10:05,849
to see the battlefield?
96
00:10:06,683 --> 00:10:07,726
Of course.
97
00:10:08,226 --> 00:10:10,353
I dreamt about it last night.
98
00:10:11,062 --> 00:10:12,606
I could see everything.
99
00:10:13,732 --> 00:10:15,567
The enemy being routed...
100
00:10:15,650 --> 00:10:19,112
Europe saved from those ravaging hordes...
101
00:10:20,572 --> 00:10:22,365
and there was Marlborough...
102
00:10:23,033 --> 00:10:24,659
riding into history.
103
00:10:25,493 --> 00:10:26,870
Our eyes met.
104
00:10:28,622 --> 00:10:31,791
I think he smiled at me.
105
00:10:33,001 --> 00:10:34,628
You shouldn't have had so much cheese.
106
00:10:34,628 --> 00:10:35,045
You shouldn't have had so much cheese.
107
00:10:35,170 --> 00:10:37,297
Stilton always gives you nightmares.
108
00:10:47,098 --> 00:10:50,393
"Mr. Speaker, the loss of India...
109
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:54,439
"would mark and consummatethe downfall of the British empire.
110
00:10:54,522 --> 00:10:56,858
"If we cannot do our duty in India...
111
00:10:57,567 --> 00:11:00,403
"we shall have shown ourselves unworthy...
112
00:11:00,987 --> 00:11:03,365
"to preserve the vast empire...
113
00:11:03,657 --> 00:11:07,202
"which still centers upon this small island.
114
00:11:08,453 --> 00:11:09,955
"It is alarming...
115
00:11:10,789 --> 00:11:13,792
"and also nauseating to see Mr. Gandhi...
116
00:11:13,875 --> 00:11:16,169
"a seditious Middle Temple lawyer...
117
00:11:16,461 --> 00:11:20,549
"now posing as a fakirof a type well known in the East...
118
00:11:21,591 --> 00:11:25,637
"striding half-naded up the steps
of the Viceregal Palace...
119
00:11:26,471 --> 00:11:29,432
"to parley on equal terms...
120
00:11:30,433 --> 00:11:32,978
"with the representativeof the King Emperor. "
121
00:11:35,981 --> 00:11:39,442
Councils, private members' bills,
second reading.
122
00:11:47,284 --> 00:11:48,952
What a monstrous speech.
123
00:11:49,828 --> 00:11:51,371
You're his friend, Bracden.
124
00:11:51,454 --> 00:11:54,875
You should tell him to stop making
a fool of himself. It's pathetic.
125
00:11:54,958 --> 00:11:58,837
Britain is losing her grip on its
imperial affairs. He's trying to stop the rot.
126
00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:59,921
Rubbish.
127
00:12:00,005 --> 00:12:03,800
Winston's a self-serving opportunist.
That's why nobody trusts him. No loyalty.
128
00:12:03,884 --> 00:12:06,136
Does his party count for nothing?
129
00:12:06,219 --> 00:12:09,180
Is it disloyal to defend
what one believes in passionately?
130
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:12,767
He's attacding government policy,
so he's attacding his own party.
131
00:12:12,851 --> 00:12:17,230
It's about time he toed the line
and stopped being such a bloody nuisance.
132
00:12:18,023 --> 00:12:20,025
Wrong hat, Tom.
133
00:12:25,488 --> 00:12:28,158
Mr. Woods, this is appalling.
134
00:12:29,534 --> 00:12:33,538
You must remember that your husband
lost a very substantial sum...
135
00:12:33,622 --> 00:12:35,707
as a result of the Wall Street crash.
136
00:12:36,208 --> 00:12:37,626
We're bandrupt.
137
00:12:38,043 --> 00:12:39,085
Not exactly.
138
00:12:39,544 --> 00:12:43,173
But I have made it clear to your husband
that economies are necessary.
139
00:12:43,423 --> 00:12:44,674
What did he say?
140
00:12:46,092 --> 00:12:49,846
He promised to cut down to three bottles
of champagne in the evening.
141
00:12:57,103 --> 00:12:59,022
There was a time...
142
00:12:59,272 --> 00:13:02,984
when people used to rush into the chamber
to hear me speak.
143
00:13:04,736 --> 00:13:08,031
"It's Winston," they'd cry.
"Winston's on his feet."
144
00:13:09,574 --> 00:13:11,284
Now they hurry away...
145
00:13:12,035 --> 00:13:15,247
as if to avoid an embarrassing accident.
146
00:13:18,083 --> 00:13:19,543
I'm finished, Brendan.
147
00:13:20,252 --> 00:13:21,336
Nonsense.
148
00:13:21,753 --> 00:13:22,921
A ghost...
149
00:13:24,839 --> 00:13:27,384
Witnessing my own demise.
150
00:13:49,781 --> 00:13:50,949
Diana.
151
00:13:51,658 --> 00:13:52,701
Desmond.
152
00:13:52,784 --> 00:13:56,079
- Have you met my husband?
- At the wedding. Good to see you again.
153
00:13:56,121 --> 00:13:58,039
I'm so glad to see you.
154
00:13:58,290 --> 00:14:00,458
Hello, Morton, how's the spying game?
155
00:14:00,542 --> 00:14:03,295
I'm not a spy, I'm a civil servant.
Where's your father?
156
00:14:03,378 --> 00:14:07,007
I'm afraid he's having a black-dog day.
We rely on you to get him out of it.
157
00:14:07,090 --> 00:14:10,677
He returned from London in a terrible mood.
He's been like that ever since.
158
00:14:25,025 --> 00:14:26,067
Winston!
159
00:14:31,281 --> 00:14:33,700
Come on, Winston, lunch in five minutes.
160
00:14:33,783 --> 00:14:35,744
Dogs look up to you.
161
00:14:36,286 --> 00:14:38,121
Cats look down on you.
162
00:14:39,206 --> 00:14:41,208
Pigs treat you as equals.
163
00:14:44,502 --> 00:14:46,171
What is it? India?
164
00:14:47,214 --> 00:14:48,423
Partly.
165
00:14:49,132 --> 00:14:50,967
- Partly these.
- What about them?
166
00:14:51,009 --> 00:14:52,260
Full of "Herr" Hitler.
167
00:14:52,969 --> 00:14:53,929
Made me think.
168
00:14:55,055 --> 00:14:57,307
At 35, I was Home Secretary...
169
00:14:57,390 --> 00:15:00,685
37, First Lord of the Admiralty...
170
00:15:00,769 --> 00:15:04,189
at 50, Chancellor of the Exchequer,
doing pretty well.
171
00:15:04,356 --> 00:15:06,358
- Not bad.
- Now look at me.
172
00:15:07,234 --> 00:15:10,278
No power, no prospect of power.
173
00:15:11,529 --> 00:15:12,614
look at Hitler.
174
00:15:13,573 --> 00:15:16,576
From bugger-all to head of state in 10 years.
175
00:15:20,288 --> 00:15:22,457
- Come and have some lunch.
- Not hungry.
176
00:15:23,542 --> 00:15:26,002
- Everyone's waiting.
- Let them wait.
177
00:15:27,879 --> 00:15:30,006
Come and have a drink at least.
178
00:15:30,048 --> 00:15:32,008
What have you got there?
179
00:15:33,635 --> 00:15:36,304
- I'll show you indoors.
- Will it cheer me up?
180
00:15:37,722 --> 00:15:39,140
Not exactly.
181
00:15:39,558 --> 00:15:41,601
You may be right about Germany.
182
00:15:41,935 --> 00:15:43,144
What do you mean?
183
00:15:48,567 --> 00:15:49,818
What is all this?
184
00:15:50,110 --> 00:15:52,946
It's a report from our air attach� in Berlin.
185
00:15:53,863 --> 00:15:57,409
He says the Nazis
have in training over 8,000 pilots.
186
00:15:58,243 --> 00:15:59,661
Sounds as if Hitler...
187
00:16:00,287 --> 00:16:02,289
is creating an air force.
188
00:16:02,914 --> 00:16:04,207
I would say so.
189
00:16:04,457 --> 00:16:06,501
Yes, but the Prime Minister would not.
190
00:16:06,751 --> 00:16:08,211
God help us, Desmond.
191
00:16:09,087 --> 00:16:11,548
England is lost in a pacifist dream.
192
00:16:12,924 --> 00:16:15,594
People prefer that to the nightmare of war.
193
00:16:16,678 --> 00:16:19,848
Passchendaele and the Somme
are all too close for comfort.
194
00:16:21,433 --> 00:16:23,894
If people are dreaming,
it means they're asleep.
195
00:16:24,227 --> 00:16:25,937
It's time they bloody wode up.
196
00:16:39,201 --> 00:16:40,327
Mr. Baldwin?
197
00:16:40,827 --> 00:16:41,912
Prime Minister.
198
00:16:41,995 --> 00:16:42,996
"Herr" Brecder.
199
00:16:44,122 --> 00:16:47,209
My government is very displeased
by a number of scurrilous...
200
00:16:47,292 --> 00:16:49,794
and totally unfounded attacds
on the Third Reich...
201
00:16:49,878 --> 00:16:52,839
that seem to emanate from
your ambassador's office in Berlin.
202
00:16:52,923 --> 00:16:55,592
- Sir Robert?
- Yes. I'll make the appropriate inquiries.
203
00:16:55,634 --> 00:16:58,136
If it's true, we shall take immediate action.
204
00:16:58,220 --> 00:17:02,182
I deplore any attempt
to create feelings of doubt and suspicion.
205
00:17:02,265 --> 00:17:04,517
I am anxious to work
closely with Germany...
206
00:17:04,601 --> 00:17:05,977
under the new order.
207
00:17:06,061 --> 00:17:07,812
Thank you, Mr. Baldwin.
208
00:17:09,606 --> 00:17:10,607
Mr. Wigram.
209
00:17:11,274 --> 00:17:14,277
Perhaps you will let me know
the results of these inquiries.
210
00:17:14,569 --> 00:17:17,280
Our most recent dispatch
from our ambassador reported...
211
00:17:17,322 --> 00:17:19,950
that Nazi policy is intensely anti-Jewish.
212
00:17:19,991 --> 00:17:22,869
Is that "scurrilous and totally unfounded"?
213
00:17:23,328 --> 00:17:27,207
The Jews have become far too prominent
in many aspects of German life.
214
00:17:27,999 --> 00:17:30,293
Their influence is disproportionate.
215
00:17:30,418 --> 00:17:32,796
Our policies are merely
adjusting the balance.
216
00:17:33,004 --> 00:17:35,924
Is that why you built a concentration camp
outside Munich?
217
00:17:36,091 --> 00:17:39,010
It is a place of protective custody,
Mr. Wigram.
218
00:17:39,803 --> 00:17:43,056
Remember, it was the British
who invented the concentration camp...
219
00:17:43,139 --> 00:17:45,475
during the Boer War, I believe.
220
00:17:46,184 --> 00:17:48,478
We are merely following your good example.
221
00:18:00,323 --> 00:18:02,158
Jolly good, what you said in there.
222
00:18:02,325 --> 00:18:04,536
Nothing but bully boys, these damn Nazis.
223
00:18:04,619 --> 00:18:08,206
- They get away with it, that's the trouble.
- Nobody does anything about it.
224
00:18:08,290 --> 00:18:09,457
That's right.
225
00:18:09,541 --> 00:18:11,209
- Very alarming.
- It is.
226
00:18:11,877 --> 00:18:14,087
- Desmond Morton.
- Ralph Wigram.
227
00:18:14,212 --> 00:18:16,131
Foreign Office, Central Department.
228
00:18:16,214 --> 00:18:19,718
Dear. I'm sorry, have we met before?
I'm terrible at faces.
229
00:18:19,801 --> 00:18:22,262
I'm afraid it's my training,
military intelligence.
230
00:18:22,345 --> 00:18:26,766
I have a filing cabinet instead of a mind.
I'm going to Charing Cross, can I drop you?
231
00:18:26,850 --> 00:18:28,393
Yes, thank you.
232
00:18:30,645 --> 00:18:31,855
Thank you very much.
233
00:18:59,925 --> 00:19:01,092
Deuce.
234
00:19:06,139 --> 00:19:08,558
I think she wants to do it professionally.
235
00:19:10,101 --> 00:19:12,604
- Annoying people?
- No, the stage.
236
00:19:12,938 --> 00:19:13,939
Nonsense.
237
00:19:15,232 --> 00:19:17,734
Girls go on the stage
to marry into a good family.
238
00:19:18,276 --> 00:19:22,447
Sarah already belongs to a good family.
Ladies do not become chorus girls.
239
00:19:27,369 --> 00:19:28,745
There's no cake.
240
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:31,790
- Pardon, sir?
- You've forgotten the cake.
241
00:19:31,873 --> 00:19:34,751
- There isn't any.
- That's what I'm telling you, silly girl.
242
00:19:34,793 --> 00:19:37,420
We don't have any cake.
That's what she means.
243
00:19:37,504 --> 00:19:41,132
Don't have any cake? Of course
we have cake. Dundee cake from Fortnum's.
244
00:19:41,550 --> 00:19:43,677
- Thank you, Peggy.
- Yes, ma'am.
245
00:19:44,886 --> 00:19:48,598
- What on earth's going on?
- We have to make economies, Winston.
246
00:19:49,057 --> 00:19:50,559
What are you talking about?
247
00:19:50,642 --> 00:19:53,103
I'm worried about money,
I went to see Mr. Woods.
248
00:19:53,186 --> 00:19:54,938
Four queens. Why?
249
00:19:55,522 --> 00:19:57,232
He's my accountant as well.
250
00:19:57,315 --> 00:19:59,526
You could've told me,
could've gone together.
251
00:19:59,609 --> 00:20:01,861
I wanted to see exactly how bad things are.
252
00:20:02,821 --> 00:20:06,575
- Could be worse, that's the answer.
- We've got the most enormous overdraft.
253
00:20:07,158 --> 00:20:09,286
- We're paying it off.
- No, we're not.
254
00:20:09,369 --> 00:20:11,746
For God's sake, Clemmie,
I'm working day and night.
255
00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:14,708
All these articles for
"The Evening Standard", Marlborough...
256
00:20:14,791 --> 00:20:17,127
not to mention the constituency work.
257
00:20:17,252 --> 00:20:19,296
I know, that's why we have to economize.
258
00:20:20,005 --> 00:20:22,507
Like depriving me of my Dundee cake.
259
00:20:25,260 --> 00:20:27,470
You're paying all of Randolph's debts.
260
00:20:27,554 --> 00:20:30,015
Randolph is hopeless with money,
we all know that.
261
00:20:30,098 --> 00:20:31,516
He's irresponsible.
262
00:20:31,641 --> 00:20:33,310
I'll talk to him.
263
00:20:41,484 --> 00:20:43,528
- It's your turn.
- What?
264
00:20:44,195 --> 00:20:46,948
- It's not...
- It is, come along.
265
00:20:47,908 --> 00:20:49,659
You just won the last tricd.
266
00:20:51,244 --> 00:20:53,163
Bezique, double bezique.
267
00:20:54,831 --> 00:20:56,166
Score it.
268
00:20:56,499 --> 00:20:58,376
Double bezique, 500 points.
269
00:20:58,460 --> 00:21:01,004
- Winston, I know how to score.
- Do it.
270
00:21:03,965 --> 00:21:06,676
It's not just Randolph,
it's this house, it's Chartwell.
271
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,678
That's where all the money goes.
272
00:21:08,762 --> 00:21:09,804
All right.
273
00:21:09,846 --> 00:21:11,389
We employ 18 people here.
274
00:21:11,473 --> 00:21:12,474
Surely not.
275
00:21:12,557 --> 00:21:15,018
It's ruinously expensive.
We shouldn't have bought it.
276
00:21:15,060 --> 00:21:16,102
Don't start.
277
00:21:16,186 --> 00:21:18,021
- You went behind my back.
- I did not.
278
00:21:18,063 --> 00:21:20,941
You knew I didn't like it
and you deliberately deceived me.
279
00:21:21,024 --> 00:21:24,236
- That's not true.
- I never saw such an ugly house.
280
00:21:29,407 --> 00:21:31,826
You may find the house ugly, I do not.
281
00:21:32,911 --> 00:21:34,746
Anyway, that's beside the point.
282
00:21:38,708 --> 00:21:40,669
- Come with me.
- What for?
283
00:21:40,752 --> 00:21:42,295
I want to show you something.
284
00:21:42,420 --> 00:21:44,673
- Don't change the subject.
- I'm not.
285
00:21:45,090 --> 00:21:46,758
Come with me, please.
286
00:21:58,436 --> 00:22:00,355
That's why I bought it.
287
00:22:01,273 --> 00:22:04,734
Not because the house is beautiful,
but because of that.
288
00:22:05,527 --> 00:22:07,696
What you can see from the house.
289
00:22:07,988 --> 00:22:08,989
England.
290
00:22:11,116 --> 00:22:12,325
look at it, Clemmie.
291
00:22:13,577 --> 00:22:15,078
Nowhere in the world...
292
00:22:15,161 --> 00:22:18,123
could you find a landscape
more ravishing than that.
293
00:22:19,708 --> 00:22:21,293
And it's ours...
294
00:22:22,460 --> 00:22:26,089
to look at and to cherish
for the rest of our lives.
295
00:22:28,466 --> 00:22:30,594
I would die for it, Clemmie.
296
00:22:36,641 --> 00:22:37,851
Winston.
297
00:22:54,826 --> 00:22:55,952
Ralph!
298
00:22:56,411 --> 00:22:58,455
Some rather unwelcome news, I'm afraid.
299
00:22:58,538 --> 00:23:02,375
The Cabinet has decided
to sell aircraft engines to the Germans.
300
00:23:02,459 --> 00:23:03,627
I don't believe it.
301
00:23:03,668 --> 00:23:06,630
To be precise,
118 Rolls Royce PV-12 Merlins.
302
00:23:06,713 --> 00:23:07,714
God almighty.
303
00:23:07,797 --> 00:23:10,342
Designed for civilian use, I am told...
304
00:23:10,425 --> 00:23:12,802
but we know
they can be used for fighter planes.
305
00:23:12,844 --> 00:23:14,137
This is total madness.
306
00:23:14,221 --> 00:23:17,641
"Trade should have no boundaries,"
says the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
307
00:23:17,724 --> 00:23:21,436
"If we don't sell, somebody else will."
I suppose there's some logic in that.
308
00:23:21,519 --> 00:23:23,313
What are we doing here, Van?
309
00:23:23,396 --> 00:23:26,483
We made recommendations,
write briefing notes, nobody listens.
310
00:23:26,566 --> 00:23:28,526
Nobody in Downing Street gives a damn.
311
00:23:28,610 --> 00:23:30,820
They're not very interested...
312
00:23:31,154 --> 00:23:34,115
in uncomfortable things like political reality.
313
00:23:52,384 --> 00:23:54,594
Surely the Germans aren't allowed to rearm.
314
00:23:54,678 --> 00:23:56,638
Try telling that to Mr. Hitler.
315
00:23:56,721 --> 00:23:58,765
Why doesn't the government do something?
316
00:23:58,848 --> 00:24:01,810
They don't want to provode another war.
Who does?
317
00:24:02,394 --> 00:24:04,938
- And they feel guilty.
- About what?
318
00:24:05,021 --> 00:24:07,774
The Treaty of Versailles,
it was far too punitive.
319
00:24:07,857 --> 00:24:10,110
It robbed the Germans of their self-esteem.
320
00:24:10,193 --> 00:24:13,613
- He's tired. I'm getting him ready for bed.
- Thank you, Ethel.
321
00:24:14,906 --> 00:24:16,032
Shall we go up?
322
00:24:18,159 --> 00:24:20,370
Mr. Baldwin believes a strong Germany...
323
00:24:20,453 --> 00:24:22,038
will keep Russia in its place.
324
00:24:22,122 --> 00:24:25,667
The government regards the Communists
as a greater threat than the Nazis.
325
00:24:25,750 --> 00:24:27,836
- And are they?
- I think not.
326
00:24:27,919 --> 00:24:31,047
Nazism is more than just
a political movement.
327
00:24:31,423 --> 00:24:32,632
It's a cult...
328
00:24:32,924 --> 00:24:35,635
a religion based on the idea of racial purity.
329
00:24:36,386 --> 00:24:39,055
Mankind, the Nazis believe,
is divided between...
330
00:24:39,097 --> 00:24:41,182
the man-gods and the subhumans...
331
00:24:41,975 --> 00:24:44,352
aliens who will be used
as beasts of burden...
332
00:24:44,436 --> 00:24:45,896
or merely disposed of.
333
00:24:46,771 --> 00:24:49,399
Those with pure Aryan blood
are the man-gods.
334
00:24:50,650 --> 00:24:52,485
The beasts are the Jews.
335
00:24:53,904 --> 00:24:55,363
You ready for bed?
336
00:24:57,115 --> 00:24:58,575
Charlie.
337
00:24:58,783 --> 00:25:00,368
Daddy.
338
00:25:04,956 --> 00:25:06,499
Charlie, my boy.
339
00:25:06,666 --> 00:25:07,959
Hello, beautiful boy.
340
00:25:08,043 --> 00:25:09,252
You ready for bed?
341
00:25:09,377 --> 00:25:11,338
Yes, you ready for bed?
342
00:25:17,260 --> 00:25:18,678
Sweet dreams, big man.
343
00:25:21,848 --> 00:25:23,183
Good night, sweetheart.
344
00:25:23,767 --> 00:25:25,101
Good night.
345
00:25:34,861 --> 00:25:38,114
What part of Germany
are you from, "Herr" Baron?
346
00:25:38,406 --> 00:25:41,284
Bavaria, some 10 miles from Munich.
347
00:25:41,826 --> 00:25:44,788
- Do you know it?
- I was there last year with my family.
348
00:25:45,497 --> 00:25:46,581
On holiday?
349
00:25:46,665 --> 00:25:50,168
No, researching for my book
on the Duke of Marlborough.
350
00:25:50,252 --> 00:25:53,255
- Having a look at the battlefields.
- How very exciting.
351
00:25:54,464 --> 00:25:56,633
One has to visit the actual places...
352
00:25:56,716 --> 00:25:59,261
tread the terrain, as it were.
353
00:25:59,302 --> 00:26:00,971
We nearly had tea with Hitler.
354
00:26:01,012 --> 00:26:04,099
- In Munich?
- At the Ambassador hotel.
355
00:26:04,140 --> 00:26:05,308
The Regina hotel.
356
00:26:05,517 --> 00:26:07,185
The Ambassador's in Vienna.
357
00:26:07,269 --> 00:26:10,146
Please, don't interrupt me
when I'm trying to interrupt you!
358
00:26:12,190 --> 00:26:13,191
"Herr" Schroder...
359
00:26:13,275 --> 00:26:15,151
have you ever seen "Herr" Hitler?
360
00:26:15,235 --> 00:26:18,738
- I've met him.
- Really? When was this?
361
00:26:19,322 --> 00:26:22,909
Quite recently.
I was having dinner with friends.
362
00:26:23,034 --> 00:26:24,744
Hitler was the principal guest.
363
00:26:25,036 --> 00:26:27,998
- What's he like?
- My first impression...
364
00:26:28,915 --> 00:26:30,417
insignificance.
365
00:26:30,917 --> 00:26:32,669
Utterly insignificant.
366
00:26:32,711 --> 00:26:35,505
A gray face, slate gray.
367
00:26:36,506 --> 00:26:39,301
Melancholy jet-black eyes, like raisins.
368
00:26:39,301 --> 00:26:39,759
Melancholy jet-black eyes, like raisins.
369
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,929
A figure out of a ghost story.
370
00:26:44,639 --> 00:26:46,516
He talked on and on, endlessly.
371
00:26:47,267 --> 00:26:49,519
"Out of"Parsifal"," he said...
372
00:26:49,853 --> 00:26:51,771
"I shall make a religion."
373
00:26:52,856 --> 00:26:55,567
His oily hair fell
into his face when he ranted.
374
00:26:56,985 --> 00:26:58,194
Then...
375
00:26:59,237 --> 00:27:00,947
quite suddenly, he left.
376
00:27:02,991 --> 00:27:05,619
He bowed to me like a waiter...
377
00:27:05,702 --> 00:27:07,746
who has just received a fair tip.
378
00:27:10,749 --> 00:27:11,833
When he left...
379
00:27:13,543 --> 00:27:14,961
nobody moved...
380
00:27:15,879 --> 00:27:16,880
nobody spode.
381
00:27:18,548 --> 00:27:20,050
We all sat in silence.
382
00:27:21,551 --> 00:27:22,677
Rather like this.
383
00:27:31,228 --> 00:27:33,730
"After the Great War,
we were told that Germany...
384
00:27:33,813 --> 00:27:36,566
"would be a democracy
with parliamentary institutions.
385
00:27:36,983 --> 00:27:39,736
"All this has been swept away.
What do you have?
386
00:27:39,819 --> 00:27:42,572
"Dictatorship, the most grim dictatorship.
387
00:27:42,656 --> 00:27:45,242
"You have the persecution of the Jews.
388
00:27:45,450 --> 00:27:47,702
"You have militarism and appeals...
389
00:27:47,744 --> 00:27:50,080
"to every form of fighting spirit."
390
00:27:50,497 --> 00:27:51,915
Baldwin won't like that.
391
00:27:51,998 --> 00:27:54,584
He sincerely believes
that Hitler does not want war.
392
00:27:54,668 --> 00:27:57,212
- Baldwin.
- Not just Baldwin, many others.
393
00:27:57,546 --> 00:27:58,713
They're wrong.
394
00:27:58,755 --> 00:28:01,550
You think so, I think so,
but don't underestimate them.
395
00:28:01,591 --> 00:28:03,718
They admire Hitler. They won't like it.
396
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:04,970
They can lump it.
397
00:28:06,179 --> 00:28:07,097
Order!
398
00:28:09,891 --> 00:28:13,395
"You have dictatorship,
most grim dictatorship."
399
00:28:17,315 --> 00:28:19,234
Order!
400
00:28:19,276 --> 00:28:21,736
"You have the persecution of the Jews.
401
00:28:23,697 --> 00:28:25,699
"You have militarism...
402
00:28:25,782 --> 00:28:28,326
"and appeals to every form
of fighting spirit."
403
00:28:28,410 --> 00:28:29,619
Germany wants peace!
404
00:28:29,703 --> 00:28:33,290
"We have steadily marched backward
since the Great War.
405
00:28:35,584 --> 00:28:37,586
"Fears are greater.
406
00:28:38,044 --> 00:28:39,629
"Rivalries are sharper.
407
00:28:40,088 --> 00:28:43,550
"Military plans are more closely concerted.
408
00:28:43,633 --> 00:28:47,053
"And because of our disarmament,
Britain is weaker."
409
00:28:50,015 --> 00:28:51,308
Order!
410
00:28:52,225 --> 00:28:55,437
The right honorable
gentleman must be heard!
411
00:28:55,478 --> 00:28:56,980
"The war mentality...
412
00:28:57,022 --> 00:29:00,025
"The war mentality is springing up again.
413
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,946
"Britain's hour of weakness
is Europe's hour of danger."
414
00:29:09,242 --> 00:29:10,785
Mr. Pettifer.
415
00:29:11,161 --> 00:29:13,663
Mr. Speaker, although one is loathe...
416
00:29:13,705 --> 00:29:16,541
to criticize anyone
in the evening of his days...
417
00:29:16,625 --> 00:29:19,419
nothing can excuse
the right honorable member for Epping...
418
00:29:19,502 --> 00:29:21,546
for having permeated his entire speech...
419
00:29:21,630 --> 00:29:24,549
with the atmosphere
that Germany is arming for war.
420
00:29:25,050 --> 00:29:29,387
May I remind the right honorable member
that a poll conducted...
421
00:29:29,512 --> 00:29:33,350
by the League of Nations found that
over 90 percent of the British people...
422
00:29:33,433 --> 00:29:35,477
favor international disarmament?
423
00:29:35,518 --> 00:29:36,519
Hear, hear.
424
00:29:36,686 --> 00:29:38,480
And let us not forget...
425
00:29:38,521 --> 00:29:41,942
that a child born
on the day the Great War ended...
426
00:29:42,067 --> 00:29:46,071
is now just old enough
to die in the next Great War.
427
00:29:46,154 --> 00:29:47,739
It is our duty, Mr. Speaker...
428
00:29:47,822 --> 00:29:50,158
to ensure that there is no next Great War.
429
00:29:50,784 --> 00:29:52,327
This country wants peace!
430
00:30:01,753 --> 00:30:04,214
People say, "Winston won't mind.
431
00:30:05,048 --> 00:30:06,841
"He's used to being shouted at."
432
00:30:06,883 --> 00:30:08,385
They're wrong...
433
00:30:08,635 --> 00:30:10,178
and it hurts deeply.
434
00:30:10,929 --> 00:30:14,516
Especially from your own party.
435
00:30:14,558 --> 00:30:16,893
The Tories don't want to be make to think.
436
00:30:16,977 --> 00:30:19,521
What you're saying is right.
That's what matters.
437
00:30:19,688 --> 00:30:21,690
They don't listen, that's what matters.
438
00:30:21,773 --> 00:30:24,359
It's like banging
your head against a bricd wall.
439
00:30:25,902 --> 00:30:27,445
One can't go on forever.
440
00:30:27,946 --> 00:30:30,073
Most men of my age have retired.
441
00:30:30,949 --> 00:30:34,035
They do a bit of gardening,
enjoy a spot of golf...
442
00:30:34,077 --> 00:30:37,831
enjoy a few years of quietude.
443
00:30:38,665 --> 00:30:39,916
And die.
444
00:30:41,751 --> 00:30:45,338
All those dreams of standing
shoulder to shoulder...
445
00:30:45,422 --> 00:30:48,133
with Marlborough and all the other heroes...
446
00:30:48,216 --> 00:30:49,718
Stupid nonsense!
447
00:30:50,218 --> 00:30:53,597
If you give up now, then you'll never know.
448
00:30:53,763 --> 00:30:56,266
Give up, give up what?
449
00:30:56,850 --> 00:31:00,937
- There's nothing to give up.
- You're depressed, black dog's barking.
450
00:31:01,021 --> 00:31:03,315
Perhaps he's barking the truth.
451
00:31:12,324 --> 00:31:15,118
Do you remember last year
when Inches fell ill?
452
00:31:15,911 --> 00:31:18,955
It wasn't the flu,
it was something more serious.
453
00:31:19,122 --> 00:31:22,459
- Why didn't you tell me?
- Because he told me not to.
454
00:31:22,542 --> 00:31:25,086
Doctor said he should
give up work completely...
455
00:31:25,170 --> 00:31:26,713
but he refused.
456
00:31:27,881 --> 00:31:30,425
"Mr. Churchill needs me," he said.
457
00:31:31,134 --> 00:31:34,137
And it's not just Inches,
it's Mrs. P, the staff...
458
00:31:34,221 --> 00:31:37,182
your constituency workers, me,
we're all the same.
459
00:31:37,265 --> 00:31:40,435
You have the ability to make people
carry on, no matter what.
460
00:31:40,477 --> 00:31:42,812
You're only trying to cheer me up. Don't.
461
00:31:42,854 --> 00:31:44,940
All these years I've put up with...
462
00:31:45,106 --> 00:31:48,818
the miseries of political life,
because I believe in you...
463
00:31:48,902 --> 00:31:50,820
and somehow I survived.
464
00:31:50,904 --> 00:31:53,615
But to have you here
all the time in retirement...
465
00:31:53,657 --> 00:31:57,118
bad-tempered, getting in everybody's way.
466
00:31:58,370 --> 00:32:01,331
That is something I just could not survive.
467
00:32:08,713 --> 00:32:11,007
You're getting pretty good at this.
468
00:32:11,049 --> 00:32:13,927
Ninety bricds an hour,
isn't that right, Harry?
469
00:32:14,010 --> 00:32:17,180
- Nearer to 60, I should say, sir.
- Very well.
470
00:32:17,264 --> 00:32:18,974
Between 60 and 90.
471
00:32:21,017 --> 00:32:23,687
I've become a member...
472
00:32:24,271 --> 00:32:27,232
of the Amalgamated Union
of Building Workers.
473
00:32:27,399 --> 00:32:29,484
- Fully paid up.
- Very good.
474
00:32:30,652 --> 00:32:33,113
This material...
475
00:32:33,613 --> 00:32:36,324
you're feeding me
about the German air force...
476
00:32:36,408 --> 00:32:39,077
it's too generalized.
477
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,123
- Facts and figures is what I need.
- That stuff doesn't come in my direction.
478
00:32:43,206 --> 00:32:45,834
- How do I get hold of it?
- I don't think you can.
479
00:32:45,876 --> 00:32:48,753
Top secret, eyes only.
Goes straight to the Foreign Office.
480
00:32:48,837 --> 00:32:50,338
See what you can do.
481
00:32:50,714 --> 00:32:53,216
I got thrashed again in the House, last week.
482
00:32:53,258 --> 00:32:55,802
I need muscle, Desmond.
483
00:32:56,636 --> 00:32:58,471
I need to fight back.
484
00:33:01,558 --> 00:33:02,809
Come in.
485
00:33:04,853 --> 00:33:06,855
I thought you left ages ago.
486
00:33:06,897 --> 00:33:08,648
I've been reading this.
487
00:33:09,190 --> 00:33:10,901
- drink?
- Yes.
488
00:33:11,443 --> 00:33:13,028
It's a report from Berlin.
489
00:33:13,361 --> 00:33:16,114
Hitler's cabinet has approved a new law.
490
00:33:16,907 --> 00:33:20,076
It means, in effect,
the compulsory sterilization...
491
00:33:20,118 --> 00:33:22,704
of all those suffering
from hereditary illnesses...
492
00:33:22,746 --> 00:33:26,875
which are deemed, and I quote,
"to affect the health of the nation."
493
00:33:27,083 --> 00:33:28,126
Bad.
494
00:33:28,210 --> 00:33:30,086
Racial purity, this...
495
00:33:32,088 --> 00:33:34,174
This is just the beginning.
496
00:33:36,009 --> 00:33:38,178
I'll have a word with the Prime Minister.
497
00:33:38,261 --> 00:33:41,097
Much good that'll do,
he'll say it's German domestic policy.
498
00:33:41,181 --> 00:33:42,766
It has nothing to do with us.
499
00:33:43,433 --> 00:33:44,935
Which is true.
500
00:33:45,644 --> 00:33:48,939
In all honesty,
there's very little I can do, if anything.
501
00:33:49,022 --> 00:33:51,942
You, on the other hand,
may think otherwise.
502
00:33:59,866 --> 00:34:03,286
Have you brought any of this
to the attention of the government?
503
00:34:03,370 --> 00:34:04,746
I've tried.
504
00:34:04,788 --> 00:34:08,250
I've sent briefing notes to Mr. Baldwin
and all members of the cabinet.
505
00:34:08,291 --> 00:34:11,795
- Have you had any reaction?
- Nobody pays any attention.
506
00:34:12,546 --> 00:34:15,465
Hitler's war machine is getting
more powerful every day...
507
00:34:15,507 --> 00:34:18,552
and the British public's being
deliberately misinformed.
508
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,929
Or at least deliberately kept in the dark.
509
00:34:20,929 --> 00:34:21,638
Or at least deliberately kept in the dark.
510
00:34:23,723 --> 00:34:26,768
I've made a summary of the figures
issued by the government...
511
00:34:26,810 --> 00:34:29,521
comparing our military strength
with that of Germany.
512
00:34:30,605 --> 00:34:34,859
On the next page are my own figures,
which are much nearer the truth.
513
00:34:35,819 --> 00:34:39,281
Germany will soon be strong enough
to wage an aggressive war...
514
00:34:39,406 --> 00:34:42,325
which is what I believe they intend to do.
515
00:34:42,826 --> 00:34:45,120
Your figures are very precise.
516
00:34:45,829 --> 00:34:48,665
Much more so than the information I have.
517
00:34:49,082 --> 00:34:52,127
Presumably, you have access to
other reports, other statistics.
518
00:34:52,168 --> 00:34:54,379
All of it as precise and detailed as this.
519
00:34:54,462 --> 00:34:57,340
Far more detailed.
As I say, this is only a summary.
520
00:34:57,382 --> 00:34:59,259
Then I don't see how I can help you.
521
00:34:59,342 --> 00:35:00,927
Your position...
522
00:35:01,011 --> 00:35:04,097
I may be called Director
of the Industrial Intelligence Center...
523
00:35:04,180 --> 00:35:05,432
but don't be fooled.
524
00:35:05,515 --> 00:35:07,809
I'm no more than a civil servant.
525
00:35:07,851 --> 00:35:10,520
I have no public voice,
which is what you need.
526
00:35:10,604 --> 00:35:12,022
Yes, it is.
527
00:35:12,772 --> 00:35:15,692
In that case,
I think you should talk to Winston.
528
00:35:15,734 --> 00:35:17,527
Winston Churchill?
529
00:35:18,528 --> 00:35:19,779
But surely he's...
530
00:35:19,863 --> 00:35:21,114
Past it?
531
00:35:21,281 --> 00:35:22,532
I don't trust him.
532
00:35:22,657 --> 00:35:25,785
First, he joins the Tory Party.
Then he switches to the Liberals.
533
00:35:25,869 --> 00:35:29,039
Now he's back with the Tories again.
He has no judgment.
534
00:35:29,122 --> 00:35:32,042
Maybe, but he has an extraordinary instinct.
535
00:35:32,459 --> 00:35:35,921
He knows when something's important
and should be pursued.
536
00:35:36,171 --> 00:35:40,634
He's wrong about India, of course.
He's been wrong about a lot of things.
537
00:35:41,051 --> 00:35:43,803
But I believe he's right about Germany.
538
00:35:45,764 --> 00:35:47,724
I shall be seeing him at the weekend.
539
00:35:47,766 --> 00:35:50,435
If you'd like me to take anything
down to Chartwell...
540
00:35:50,518 --> 00:35:52,562
I shall be happy to do so.
541
00:35:52,771 --> 00:35:54,731
But that would mean...
542
00:35:56,733 --> 00:36:01,571
You're suggesting that I remove secret
documents from a government office...
543
00:36:01,613 --> 00:36:05,075
and show them to someone
who has no right to see them.
544
00:36:05,534 --> 00:36:07,327
It's a criminal act.
545
00:36:07,744 --> 00:36:09,913
But perhaps a necessary one.
546
00:36:16,503 --> 00:36:18,421
- Marjorie?
- Yes, Mr. Wigram?
547
00:36:18,505 --> 00:36:21,800
- An envelope, I need a large envelope.
- An envelope?
548
00:36:22,050 --> 00:36:25,095
- Yes, do we have any large envelopes?
- How large?
549
00:36:25,178 --> 00:36:29,099
Just to take some papers.
Just an ordinary large-size envelope.
550
00:36:29,182 --> 00:36:32,644
If you give the papers to me, I'll post them.
What's the address?
551
00:36:32,727 --> 00:36:36,731
No, it's nothing to do with work.
Where do we keep the envelopes?
552
00:36:40,443 --> 00:36:42,571
Is this big enough for you?
553
00:36:43,029 --> 00:36:44,781
It's fine, perfect.
554
00:36:46,408 --> 00:36:47,784
Thank you.
555
00:37:35,290 --> 00:37:37,792
They must be back in the office
on Monday morning.
556
00:37:37,834 --> 00:37:41,588
- So, I need them back by Sunday evening.
- You have my word.
557
00:37:43,340 --> 00:37:46,801
If it says, "Don't walk on the grass,"
I never do.
558
00:37:48,303 --> 00:37:49,804
Never used to.
559
00:37:51,890 --> 00:37:54,517
- Sunday evening, then.
- Sunday evening.
560
00:37:59,898 --> 00:38:02,734
Out. Definitely out.
561
00:38:02,817 --> 00:38:06,821
- Can we have some more lemonade?
- No, let's finish the set first.
562
00:38:09,741 --> 00:38:11,701
Where did you get this?
563
00:38:11,993 --> 00:38:15,956
A chap in the Foreign Office, Ralph Wigram.
Head of the Central Department.
564
00:38:16,039 --> 00:38:19,125
- risky business, pinching this.
- Useful?
565
00:38:20,710 --> 00:38:23,004
This'll make the buggers jump.
566
00:38:29,302 --> 00:38:32,639
Half-past 11:00. Where the hell is he?
Morton promised.
567
00:38:33,139 --> 00:38:36,142
- Perhaps you should telephone.
- Telephone who?
568
00:38:36,226 --> 00:38:38,853
Don't they know how important this is?
569
00:38:47,571 --> 00:38:48,780
Hello?
570
00:38:49,114 --> 00:38:50,657
- Mr. Wigram?
- Yes.
571
00:38:50,782 --> 00:38:54,119
Brendan Bracken, just returning that.
Sorry I'm late.
572
00:38:54,202 --> 00:38:57,706
Car broke down, bloody nuisance.
There's a note in there from Winston.
573
00:38:57,747 --> 00:39:00,208
He'd love to have you
come down for Sunday lunch.
574
00:39:00,250 --> 00:39:02,502
He'll be in touch. Good night.
575
00:39:03,253 --> 00:39:04,588
Good night.
576
00:39:08,675 --> 00:39:10,176
Mr. Churchill.
577
00:39:12,095 --> 00:39:16,141
Mr. Speaker, before I am derided yet again...
578
00:39:16,808 --> 00:39:21,021
and before any further insults
are hurled at me...
579
00:39:21,104 --> 00:39:23,857
in the evening of my days...
580
00:39:24,524 --> 00:39:26,776
It's nearly midnight, Winston.
581
00:39:27,444 --> 00:39:31,406
...let me give you some facts and figures,
some food for thought.
582
00:39:31,781 --> 00:39:33,575
Let me describe to you...
583
00:39:33,617 --> 00:39:37,871
the method of aircraft manufacture
in Hitler's Germany.
584
00:39:38,455 --> 00:39:41,625
Sit down, Winston, we've heard it all before.
585
00:39:42,292 --> 00:39:45,879
This, you will not have heard,
I can assure you of that.
586
00:39:49,007 --> 00:39:51,843
Airplanes destined for the Luftwaffe...
587
00:39:52,260 --> 00:39:54,679
are not manufactured in one place.
588
00:39:55,305 --> 00:39:58,767
Throughout Germany,
a large number of firms...
589
00:39:58,850 --> 00:40:02,520
are making seemingly innocent
component parts...
590
00:40:02,896 --> 00:40:06,316
which are then dispatched
to great, central factories...
591
00:40:06,399 --> 00:40:08,985
where they are assembled very rapidly...
592
00:40:09,069 --> 00:40:12,113
into fighter and bomber aircraft...
593
00:40:13,114 --> 00:40:16,451
like a jigsaw puzzle or Meccano game.
594
00:40:17,410 --> 00:40:20,121
It's very clever, very effective.
595
00:40:20,247 --> 00:40:24,584
And above all, it conceals
the true scale of German rearmament.
596
00:40:25,335 --> 00:40:27,879
I am reliably informed...
597
00:40:28,255 --> 00:40:31,424
that the working population of Dessau...
598
00:40:31,967 --> 00:40:34,135
a small town near Leipzig...
599
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,680
increased last year...
600
00:40:36,930 --> 00:40:39,474
by 13,000 people.
601
00:40:40,684 --> 00:40:42,310
And why was that?
602
00:40:42,852 --> 00:40:45,981
What is manufactured in Dessau
that requires...
603
00:40:46,022 --> 00:40:49,317
such an enormous influx of workers?
604
00:40:51,194 --> 00:40:52,612
Lager beer?
605
00:40:54,906 --> 00:40:56,324
Lederhosen?
606
00:40:57,284 --> 00:40:58,577
Sausages?
607
00:41:00,704 --> 00:41:01,997
Aircraft.
608
00:41:04,124 --> 00:41:06,960
That is why I say we must act decisively.
609
00:41:07,252 --> 00:41:10,922
And we must act now,
to put our defenses in order.
610
00:41:11,756 --> 00:41:15,510
If we do not, history will cast its verdict...
611
00:41:16,011 --> 00:41:20,015
with those terrible,
chilling words, "too late."
612
00:41:20,974 --> 00:41:22,392
Hear, hear.
613
00:41:22,726 --> 00:41:26,938
Mr. Ferguson, the right honorable
gentleman and member for 18 years...
614
00:41:32,402 --> 00:41:34,237
Charlie would so love a dog.
615
00:41:34,321 --> 00:41:37,282
- I'm sure we could find you one.
- Off you go.
616
00:41:39,409 --> 00:41:43,705
I'm afraid our garden's too small.
It's the size of a postage stamp.
617
00:41:43,830 --> 00:41:46,374
We have an absolute menagerie here.
618
00:41:46,583 --> 00:41:50,921
Winston has cats, dogs,
geese, dondeys, wild swans...
619
00:41:51,254 --> 00:41:53,590
pigs, not to mention the children.
620
00:41:53,673 --> 00:41:57,469
- I don't know how you manage.
- I've written my own epitaph.
621
00:41:58,094 --> 00:42:00,889
"Here lies the woman who was always tired.
622
00:42:00,931 --> 00:42:04,142
"She lived in a world
where too much was required."
623
00:42:06,311 --> 00:42:09,940
- Are landscapes your specialty?
- On the whole, yes.
624
00:42:10,732 --> 00:42:13,401
Less troublesome than portraits.
625
00:42:15,111 --> 00:42:18,031
A tree can't tell me
that I haven't done it justice.
626
00:42:18,114 --> 00:42:20,367
I don't know how you find time for painting.
627
00:42:20,450 --> 00:42:23,870
I wouldn't do without it.
It keeps me sane. I mean it.
628
00:42:24,621 --> 00:42:28,458
I couldn't exist without paints and brushes.
629
00:42:29,584 --> 00:42:31,628
The black dog will get me.
630
00:42:32,963 --> 00:42:34,673
Are you a worrier?
631
00:42:36,132 --> 00:42:37,968
Yes, I'm afraid I am.
632
00:42:38,552 --> 00:42:41,513
Then you should definitely take up painting.
633
00:42:41,763 --> 00:42:44,683
It's good for the spirit, calms the nerves.
634
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,562
What do you worry about?
635
00:42:48,687 --> 00:42:50,730
Almost everything, really.
636
00:42:50,814 --> 00:42:54,859
My wife, my son. Are they happy?
Will they be all right?
637
00:42:55,610 --> 00:42:59,698
The state of my finances,
the state of the world, the state of my roof.
638
00:42:59,781 --> 00:43:01,074
- Your what?
- My roof.
639
00:43:01,157 --> 00:43:04,911
We have a leaky roof.
Every time it rains, it's a nightmare.
640
00:43:05,287 --> 00:43:08,039
But most of all...
641
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,586
I'm worried about these papers,
these documents I'm showing you.
642
00:43:12,669 --> 00:43:15,463
If anyone found out,
I'd be in the most terrible trouble.
643
00:43:15,505 --> 00:43:18,008
Nobody will find out, don't worry.
644
00:43:19,175 --> 00:43:21,553
It's all strictly confidential.
645
00:43:21,636 --> 00:43:25,223
- May I call you Ralph, if it's not too sudden?
- Please, do.
646
00:43:25,348 --> 00:43:29,811
The recognizing
and acknowledging of fear...
647
00:43:29,853 --> 00:43:31,688
is a mark of wisdom.
648
00:43:32,397 --> 00:43:36,484
For example, I can't stand
too near the edge of a platform...
649
00:43:36,526 --> 00:43:39,487
when an express train is passing through.
650
00:43:40,196 --> 00:43:43,199
Second's action would
end everything forever.
651
00:43:44,743 --> 00:43:48,955
My doctor says it's a form of melancholia.
We call it my black dog.
652
00:43:49,789 --> 00:43:51,208
Painting drives it away.
653
00:43:51,291 --> 00:43:54,502
As does bricklaying. I'm building a wall.
654
00:43:54,961 --> 00:43:57,005
It goes well with writing.
655
00:43:57,464 --> 00:44:00,383
Two thousand words and 200 bricks a day.
656
00:44:01,885 --> 00:44:04,221
What's the time? I feel peckish.
657
00:44:05,388 --> 00:44:07,807
- It's nearly 4:00.
- I knew it, time for tea.
658
00:44:07,891 --> 00:44:10,435
When we have visitors,
we have Dundee cake.
659
00:44:10,518 --> 00:44:13,939
It's a great treat these days.
I'm particularly fond of Dundee cake.
660
00:44:14,022 --> 00:44:15,106
Come along!
661
00:44:15,190 --> 00:44:17,776
I'll take these, you bring the easel.
662
00:44:19,069 --> 00:44:22,697
My old man said, follow the van
663
00:44:22,739 --> 00:44:24,574
And don't dilly-dally...
664
00:44:24,616 --> 00:44:28,203
Come on, don't try and fold it up.
It's a bloody nightmare.
665
00:44:28,286 --> 00:44:31,081
And don't dilly-dally on the way
666
00:44:31,623 --> 00:44:33,792
I hear you went to Chartwell.
667
00:44:33,875 --> 00:44:35,168
Yes.
668
00:44:35,502 --> 00:44:38,338
- Did you have fun?
- Yes, we did rather.
669
00:44:38,755 --> 00:44:41,049
I didn't know
you were chummy with Winston.
670
00:44:41,091 --> 00:44:43,301
I'm not, not chummy.
671
00:44:44,594 --> 00:44:47,389
- I wonder what he wants you for.
- What do you mean?
672
00:44:47,430 --> 00:44:50,392
Winston's so-called friends
are people who are useful to him.
673
00:44:50,433 --> 00:44:53,770
The idea of having a friend
because you like someone has no place...
674
00:44:53,812 --> 00:44:54,813
in his world.
675
00:44:54,980 --> 00:44:57,816
- You have to be very careful.
- What of?
676
00:44:58,942 --> 00:45:01,069
He demands total loyalty.
677
00:45:01,945 --> 00:45:04,823
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
678
00:45:07,367 --> 00:45:10,078
Do you know what Lloyd George
said of him?
679
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,998
He said he would make a drum
of his own mother's skin...
680
00:45:13,081 --> 00:45:15,500
in order to sound his own praises.
681
00:45:23,925 --> 00:45:25,176
walk on.
682
00:45:28,138 --> 00:45:30,098
Who's this article for?
683
00:45:31,933 --> 00:45:33,268
The Daily Mail.
684
00:45:39,149 --> 00:45:41,985
Damn good, "The Daily Mail".
Big fee, big readership.
685
00:45:42,027 --> 00:45:44,279
What more could a fellow ask?
686
00:45:48,491 --> 00:45:51,286
Walter Guinness telephoned this morning.
687
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,122
- How is he?
- He's very well.
688
00:45:54,164 --> 00:45:57,125
- He's asked me to go on a cruise.
- A cruise?
689
00:45:58,460 --> 00:45:59,794
Very nice.
690
00:45:59,961 --> 00:46:02,380
It's more of an expedition, really.
691
00:46:04,299 --> 00:46:06,718
Fine, you'll enjoy a little rest.
692
00:46:12,182 --> 00:46:15,518
Where's Walter planning to go,
south of France?
693
00:46:16,311 --> 00:46:17,520
Komodo.
694
00:46:19,439 --> 00:46:21,775
Komodo, where the hell is that?
695
00:46:23,985 --> 00:46:26,655
Just below the Philippines, near Bali.
696
00:46:26,905 --> 00:46:29,366
That's halfway around the bloody world.
697
00:46:29,449 --> 00:46:32,285
What on earth makes him want to go there?
698
00:46:32,619 --> 00:46:35,872
- Something to do with catching dragons.
- Dragons?
699
00:46:36,248 --> 00:46:40,418
They're more lizards, really,
but they're very big. They're for the zoo.
700
00:46:40,627 --> 00:46:42,170
Wait a minute.
701
00:46:43,338 --> 00:46:45,674
Walter Guinness is seriously suggesting...
702
00:46:45,715 --> 00:46:49,469
going halfway around the world
searching for some damn lizard.
703
00:46:49,553 --> 00:46:52,013
- Is that right?
- Yes.
704
00:46:52,556 --> 00:46:56,643
- He must be mad. What's the point of it?
- It would be a great adventure.
705
00:46:56,726 --> 00:47:00,063
- You'd be away weeks, months.
- About four months.
706
00:47:01,231 --> 00:47:03,567
Who else is going on this trip?
707
00:47:03,692 --> 00:47:08,280
Evelyn, of course, two of their cousins,
and a man called Terrence Phillip.
708
00:47:08,405 --> 00:47:10,407
- Who's he?
- Art dealer.
709
00:47:10,490 --> 00:47:13,451
We met him
at one of Walter's dinner parties.
710
00:47:15,412 --> 00:47:17,873
Clemmie, you have four children...
711
00:47:18,540 --> 00:47:20,500
who require your love and support...
712
00:47:20,584 --> 00:47:23,587
not to mention a husband
who has to work 20 hours a day...
713
00:47:23,670 --> 00:47:25,547
to keep this household afloat.
714
00:47:25,589 --> 00:47:28,592
And you think it's all right,
do you, to leave us...
715
00:47:28,633 --> 00:47:32,095
to go off chasing lizards
with Walter Guinness?
716
00:47:34,598 --> 00:47:36,600
What am I supposed to say to that?
717
00:47:36,641 --> 00:47:40,854
Don't you think it just might be construed
as just a little selfish?
718
00:47:43,273 --> 00:47:45,066
Well, don't you?
719
00:47:48,945 --> 00:47:52,657
Do not accuse me of being selfish.
Do not dare!
720
00:47:52,741 --> 00:47:55,577
I spent the last 26 years of my life
trying to please you.
721
00:47:55,619 --> 00:47:58,038
And I've done everything,
and I mean everything!
722
00:47:58,121 --> 00:48:00,707
I put your happiness
before the children's happiness...
723
00:48:00,790 --> 00:48:02,375
before my happiness!
724
00:48:02,459 --> 00:48:04,920
You are the most self-centered man
I have ever met.
725
00:48:07,422 --> 00:48:08,506
So...
726
00:48:11,718 --> 00:48:14,971
don't accuse me of being selfish.
Don't you dare.
727
00:48:18,391 --> 00:48:20,435
Sorry, sir.
728
00:48:20,727 --> 00:48:22,020
I thought somebody...
729
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,697
The sprouts misbehaved.
730
00:48:33,240 --> 00:48:34,241
Yes, sir.
731
00:49:01,518 --> 00:49:04,854
Mrs. Pussycat, Mr. Pug is very sorry.
732
00:49:07,190 --> 00:49:09,150
Pussycat, do let me in.
733
00:49:10,986 --> 00:49:13,363
Mr. Pug is very lonely out here.
734
00:49:15,949 --> 00:49:17,868
Mrs. Pussycat, please.
735
00:49:50,984 --> 00:49:54,696
- Mommy, open the window.
- What darling?
736
00:49:54,738 --> 00:49:57,365
- Open the window!
- I can't hear you.
737
00:49:57,449 --> 00:50:00,911
That's why you need to open the window!
The leather strap, pull up!
738
00:50:00,952 --> 00:50:03,872
- It won't budge, you'll have to shout.
- We are shouting.
739
00:50:03,914 --> 00:50:07,542
- Bye, Mommy, find a dragon!
- Pull up on the leather strap!
740
00:50:11,421 --> 00:50:12,881
Goodbye.
741
00:50:13,590 --> 00:50:16,718
- Goodbye, Clemmie.
- Goodbye.
742
00:50:37,948 --> 00:50:42,452
- And how are you this morning, sir?
- All right, I think. Thank you for asking.
743
00:50:42,536 --> 00:50:45,747
Missing her, of course,
but that's to be expected.
744
00:50:45,956 --> 00:50:49,793
No point in dwelling on her absence,
we must KBO.
745
00:50:49,876 --> 00:50:52,963
Yes, sir, "keep buggering on"
at all times, sir.
746
00:50:55,757 --> 00:50:59,636
KBO, that's the order of the day.
747
00:51:08,228 --> 00:51:09,604
"We are entering...
748
00:51:09,688 --> 00:51:12,440
"a period of danger...

"and of anxiety."

Comma.
751
00:51:18,446 --> 00:51:20,115
"Let us stop...
752
00:51:20,490 --> 00:51:23,702
"and see exactly..."
753
00:51:23,785 --> 00:51:25,787
No, scrub that.
754
00:51:28,999 --> 00:51:30,250
Bugger.
755
00:51:32,919 --> 00:51:34,629
Thank you, kindly.
756
00:51:35,672 --> 00:51:39,259

"and of anxiety."
758
00:51:41,136 --> 00:51:42,804
You're repeating yourself.
759
00:51:42,888 --> 00:51:45,849
All right, don't break your heart about it.
760
00:51:47,601 --> 00:51:49,644
"And how do we stand...
761
00:51:50,020 --> 00:51:53,523
"in this long period of danger?"
762
00:51:54,649 --> 00:51:56,401
Pause for emphasis.
763
00:51:57,152 --> 00:52:00,155
look of doom and foreboding.
764
00:52:01,615 --> 00:52:03,408
"There is no doubt...
765
00:52:03,950 --> 00:52:07,162
"that the Germans
are superior to us in the air...

"at the present time.

"or even four times our strength."
770

Where did he get all that information?
771
00:52:30,185 --> 00:52:32,479
He makes it his business
to be well informed.
772
00:52:32,562 --> 00:52:36,149
I don't like it, it could do immense damage
to our trade with Germany...
773
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:38,193
not to mention the cost of rearmament.
774
00:52:38,235 --> 00:52:40,612
Where does he think
the money's coming from?
775
00:52:40,695 --> 00:52:43,198

00:57:40,036 --> 00:57:43,915
"I fill my days writing inflammatory articlesabout Germany...
863
00:57:44,457 --> 00:57:47,711
"and thus incurringthe wrath of Stanley Baldwin...
864
00:57:47,878 --> 00:57:49,838
"which pleases me no end."
865
00:57:50,881 --> 00:57:53,550
"Evening Standard". Have you seen it?
866
00:57:53,884 --> 00:57:54,843
Yes.
867
00:57:54,926 --> 00:57:57,554
You haven't had much luck
as far as Winston is concerned.
868
00:57:57,637 --> 00:57:59,139
He's more voluble than ever.
869
00:57:59,222 --> 00:58:01,558
Germany is his new hobby.
He won't let go of it.
870
00:58:01,641 --> 00:58:03,059
You've got to make him.
871
00:58:03,059 --> 00:58:04,561
- Excuse me, sir. 10:30?
- Yes.
872
00:58:04,561 --> 00:58:08,398
I will not allow him to interfere
with government policy...
873
00:58:08,481 --> 00:58:11,192
nor indeed with the smooth running
of the party machine.
874
00:58:11,276 --> 00:58:13,028
I'll do what I can.
875
00:58:13,236 --> 00:58:15,697
Have a word
with someone in his constituency.
876
00:58:15,739 --> 00:58:17,324
Yes, of course.
877
00:58:18,700 --> 00:58:20,577
A word about what exactly?
878
00:58:20,619 --> 00:58:23,413
There must be a large amount
of local party members...
879
00:58:23,496 --> 00:58:26,917
who were dismayed, not to say alarmed,
by his behavior.
880
00:58:27,250 --> 00:58:29,377
Encourage them to speak up.
881
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,089
Tell them to make him aware
of their displeasure.
882
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,468
Say he's erratic, totally unreliable.
883
00:58:58,698 --> 00:59:00,408
- Ralph.
- Hello, Van.
884
00:59:01,034 --> 00:59:03,245
- Enjoying it?
- Very much, you?
885
00:59:03,453 --> 00:59:04,996
lmmensely.
886
00:59:05,914 --> 00:59:09,209
- Winston's been very active recently.
- Active?
887
00:59:09,292 --> 00:59:11,920
Yes, endless speeches,
all those newspaper articles...
888
00:59:12,003 --> 00:59:15,257
"Evening Standard", "Daily Mail",
everywhere you look.
889
00:59:15,465 --> 00:59:18,843
- Created a lot of anxiety.
- Yes, I'm sure.
890
00:59:18,969 --> 00:59:21,346
- Not surprising, really.
- No.
891
00:59:22,305 --> 00:59:25,267
His information is remarkably detailed.
892
00:59:25,308 --> 00:59:28,228
I'm starting to wonder where it comes from.
893
00:59:28,436 --> 00:59:31,481
Of course, a lot of it could come
from your department.
894
00:59:31,606 --> 00:59:33,692
Yes, it could, I know.
895
00:59:36,027 --> 00:59:39,114
Winston started to make some real impact.
896
00:59:39,990 --> 00:59:42,742
Slowly but surely, attitudes are changing.
897
00:59:43,285 --> 00:59:47,122
It would be unfortunate
if something were to go wrong.
898
00:59:47,789 --> 00:59:48,957
Wrong?
899
00:59:49,124 --> 00:59:51,501
Yes, one has to be very careful.
900
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,963
No unnecessary risks,
if you know what I mean.
901
00:59:56,548 --> 00:59:57,632
Yes.
902
00:59:58,967 --> 01:00:00,343
Here we are.
903
01:00:01,011 --> 01:00:03,680
Hello. Here you are, my darling.
904
01:00:27,162 --> 01:00:30,540
"We must defend our island
from foreign aggression." Stop.
905
01:00:30,582 --> 01:00:31,583
All clear.
906
01:00:31,666 --> 01:00:35,045
"We should repudiate
all defeatism and passivism." Stop.
907
01:00:35,086 --> 01:00:36,338
Bugger!
908
01:00:36,463 --> 01:00:38,298
West room 93.
909
01:00:38,632 --> 01:00:40,926
It's for you, sir. Mr. Wigram.
910
01:00:41,009 --> 01:00:44,679
"Our country can only be saved
if it is strong."
911
01:00:45,055 --> 01:00:46,848
Ralph, how are you?
912
01:00:47,015 --> 01:00:48,391
Winston...
913
01:00:49,309 --> 01:00:51,228
I can't go on with this.
914
01:00:51,269 --> 01:00:54,522
I'm sure they know something.
We have to stop this now.
915
01:00:54,731 --> 01:00:57,859
Listen, Ralph, just a little longer.
916
01:00:58,068 --> 01:01:01,112
Winston, are you surewe're not making matters worse?
917
01:01:01,196 --> 01:01:03,114
I don't believe we are.
918
01:01:03,573 --> 01:01:06,409
It's so very important,
what you're doing, Ralph.
919
01:01:06,576 --> 01:01:08,411
You mustn't stop now.
920
01:01:08,787 --> 01:01:12,999
Ralph, KBO, remember our motto.
Keep buggering on.
921
01:01:30,559 --> 01:01:33,144
"Life is drab without you, Clemmie.
922
01:01:33,895 --> 01:01:37,065
"If it weren't for Mary,I'd be utterly miserable. "
923
01:01:37,691 --> 01:01:40,443
Now, I just want to show you the scale,
the distance.
924
01:01:40,527 --> 01:01:42,904
There's the South of England,
where we live...
925
01:01:42,946 --> 01:01:46,741
and there is Austria,
where you went last Christmas with Mommy.
926
01:01:46,783 --> 01:01:50,287
- And you remember how far away that was.
- Yes.
927
01:01:50,370 --> 01:01:53,039
Now, I'll show you where Mommy is now.
928
01:01:53,123 --> 01:01:54,457
Let her go!
929
01:01:54,541 --> 01:01:56,960
Miles and miles away.
930
01:01:57,043 --> 01:02:00,922
"Your desert-island picnicwith Mr. Phillip sounds idyllic.
931
01:02:00,964 --> 01:02:03,592
"I wish I could've been there with you.
932
01:02:03,967 --> 01:02:07,095
"It is over 11 weeks since you left Chartwell.
933
01:02:08,346 --> 01:02:10,974
"And I'm counting the secondsuntil you return. "
934
01:02:11,057 --> 01:02:14,102
...to Komodo, where the dragons are.
935
01:02:14,185 --> 01:02:17,022
- It really is a long way.
- Yeah, it is.
936
01:02:17,105 --> 01:02:18,523
Paragraph.
937
01:02:20,692 --> 01:02:22,777
"Diana's gone back to her husband."
938
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:24,321
Comma.
939
01:02:24,529 --> 01:02:27,699
"But I fear the marriage will not last." Stop.
940
01:02:27,782 --> 01:02:30,035
Inches, out! I'm in the middle of a letter!
941
01:02:30,118 --> 01:02:31,578
- Telephone, sir.
- Out!
942
01:02:31,661 --> 01:02:34,331
- The man says it's important.
- He can call later.
943
01:02:34,414 --> 01:02:35,832
- Really important.
- Who is it?
944
01:02:35,916 --> 01:02:38,418
- Major Sankey.
- Who is Major Sankey?
945
01:02:38,501 --> 01:02:41,254
One of your constituency workers.
You should talk to him.
946
01:02:41,338 --> 01:02:43,632
- Now?
- Yes. He's been ringing all morning.
947
01:02:43,673 --> 01:02:47,010
All right. Inches,
you're the most irritating clug on earth!
948
01:02:47,093 --> 01:02:51,139
I was in the middle of a letter to my wife,
now I've lost my train of thought.
949
01:02:51,181 --> 01:02:53,391
Idiot! Have you no sensitivity?
950
01:02:53,475 --> 01:02:56,895
There's no need to be insulting, sir.
I was just passing on a message.
951
01:02:56,978 --> 01:02:58,647
Shut up, Inches. How dare you?
952
01:02:58,730 --> 01:03:01,524
Tell the girl to put the call through up here.
953
01:03:01,608 --> 01:03:04,152
- She's gone to lunch, sir.
- Then do it yourself.
954
01:03:04,236 --> 01:03:06,446
I'm not acquainted with the mechanism, sir.
955
01:03:06,529 --> 01:03:08,990
God almighty. Bloody hell!
956
01:03:09,032 --> 01:03:12,953
- You're very rude to me, Inches.
- You're very rude to me, sir.
957
01:03:13,036 --> 01:03:15,497
Yes, but I'm a great man.
958
01:03:17,207 --> 01:03:19,334
You're a stupid old bugger.
959
01:03:22,212 --> 01:03:24,339
Mr. Churchill's in trouble.
960
01:03:25,674 --> 01:03:27,217
What do you mean?
961
01:03:27,300 --> 01:03:30,971
Mr. Baldwin, or someone higher up,
is trying to get him pushed out.
962
01:03:31,054 --> 01:03:31,972
Of what?
963
01:03:32,055 --> 01:03:33,974
The Conservative Party.
964
01:03:34,683 --> 01:03:37,477
Don't be daft,
they wouldn't do a thing like that.
965
01:03:37,561 --> 01:03:40,897
They don't like his speeches on Germany.
They want to shut him up.
966
01:03:40,939 --> 01:03:44,526
Can they do that, Mrs. P? Just dick him out?
967
01:03:44,734 --> 01:03:46,861
They could, I suppose, yes.
968
01:03:48,738 --> 01:03:51,866
Organize a vote of no confidence,
something like that.
969
01:03:52,117 --> 01:03:54,661
- He'd never get over it.
- I know.
970
01:03:55,078 --> 01:03:56,746
I'll tell you this, Mrs. P.
971
01:03:56,830 --> 01:04:00,333
If they do dick him out,
I shall never vote Tory again.
972
01:04:00,584 --> 01:04:03,044
Never! Not even Liberal.
973
01:04:03,086 --> 01:04:05,714
Bastards! How dare they? Buggers!
974
01:04:05,797 --> 01:04:08,967
This is absolutely the worst day
of my whole bloody life!
975
01:04:09,050 --> 01:04:10,802
I'm surrounded by enemies.
976
01:04:11,803 --> 01:04:15,348
They call me a warmonger
because I speak the blunt truth?
977
01:04:15,682 --> 01:04:18,560
Baldwin is behind all this,
Stanley bloody Baldwin!
978
01:04:18,602 --> 01:04:21,146
No better than an epileptic corpse.
979
01:04:24,566 --> 01:04:27,569
"Who is in charge of the clattering train?
980
01:04:27,611 --> 01:04:30,447
"The axles creed and the coupling strain.
981
01:04:30,530 --> 01:04:32,949
"The pace is hot, and the points are near.
982
01:04:33,033 --> 01:04:35,869
"And sleep has deadened the driver's ear.
983
01:04:36,453 --> 01:04:39,623
"And the signals flash
through the nights in vain.
984
01:04:39,831 --> 01:04:41,333
"For Death...
985
01:04:41,583 --> 01:04:44,294
"is in charge of the clattering train."
986
01:04:49,299 --> 01:04:51,968
He'll be needing a glass of champagne.
987
01:04:52,260 --> 01:04:53,762
Possibly two.
988
01:04:55,305 --> 01:04:59,267
Charlie, Mommy's nearly finished.
Then, I promise, we'll go to the park.
989
01:05:00,143 --> 01:05:02,145
There's someone to see you, ma'am.
990
01:05:02,187 --> 01:05:04,481
- Who?
- Mr. Pettifer.
991
01:05:04,564 --> 01:05:06,358
Pettifer, to see me?
992
01:05:07,567 --> 01:05:09,819
We'll go in a minute, darling.
993
01:05:11,529 --> 01:05:13,490
What are you reading, Charlie?
994
01:05:18,245 --> 01:05:20,205
Good afternoon, Mr. Pettifer.
995
01:05:20,539 --> 01:05:21,998
Mrs. Wigram.
996
01:05:22,666 --> 01:05:26,002
- I'm afraid my husband's not home.
- It was you I came to see.
997
01:05:26,628 --> 01:05:28,171
Please, do sit down.
998
01:05:28,255 --> 01:05:29,631
Thank you.
999
01:05:31,132 --> 01:05:35,011
I need your help
in a rather delicate and confidential matter.
1000
01:05:35,679 --> 01:05:39,015
The Prime Minister feels
it would be advantageous...
1001
01:05:39,349 --> 01:05:42,561
if your husband did not see
quite so much of Mr. Churchill.
1002
01:05:42,686 --> 01:05:43,812
What do you mean?
1003
01:05:43,853 --> 01:05:46,815
It's perhaps not wise, not good for him.
1004
01:05:46,856 --> 01:05:48,400
Not wise for who?
1005
01:05:48,817 --> 01:05:50,277
Your husband.
1006
01:05:50,694 --> 01:05:53,238
Then shouldn't you be telling this
to my husband?
1007
01:05:53,321 --> 01:05:55,991
I'm quite sure he takes note of what you say.
1008
01:05:56,074 --> 01:05:58,535
What my husband does is his own business.
1009
01:05:58,743 --> 01:06:00,704
I wouldn't dream of trying to interfere.
1010
01:06:00,745 --> 01:06:02,455
No, of course not.
1011
01:06:02,706 --> 01:06:06,751
But do remember, your husband's the head
of an important part of the Foreign Office.
1012
01:06:06,835 --> 01:06:10,547
It's not a good idea
for him to tell Mr. Churchill what's going on.
1013
01:06:10,630 --> 01:06:11,715
Why?
1014
01:06:12,173 --> 01:06:14,050
If indeed he has been.
1015
01:06:14,342 --> 01:06:17,512
Please, Mrs. Wigram,
don't let's argue about this.
1016
01:06:17,554 --> 01:06:20,807
Please, Mr. Pettifer,
don't treat me like a child.
1017
01:06:22,309 --> 01:06:25,270
If your husband persists
in seeing Winston...
1018
01:06:25,896 --> 01:06:30,066
he may find himself being posted
somewhere inconveniently distant...
1019
01:06:30,442 --> 01:06:33,820
which would, of course,
be difficult with regard to your son.
1020
01:06:33,904 --> 01:06:36,406
Difficult for him to travel, I mean.
1021
01:06:36,823 --> 01:06:39,242
Difficult also, I should imagine...
1022
01:06:39,284 --> 01:06:43,455
to find the appropriate medical assistance
in certain parts of the world.
1023
01:06:44,539 --> 01:06:47,751
I dare say,
it would mean your having to stay here.
1024
01:06:48,752 --> 01:06:51,546
You've make a foolish mistake, Mr. Pettifer.
1025
01:06:52,005 --> 01:06:53,632
A tactical error.
1026
01:06:53,882 --> 01:06:57,761
When a member of the government comes
to my house and threatens me so openly...
1027
01:06:57,802 --> 01:06:59,930
it only shows how important it is...
1028
01:07:00,013 --> 01:07:03,016
that my husband continue his friendship
with Mr. Churchill.
1029
01:07:03,099 --> 01:07:05,185
That is my opinion, anyway.
1030
01:07:09,397 --> 01:07:12,108
Please, give my regards to your husband.
1031
01:07:12,442 --> 01:07:15,737
- Do tell him what I said.
- I think I prefer not to.
1032
01:07:16,196 --> 01:07:18,323
Good afternoon, Mrs. Wigram.
1033
01:07:25,872 --> 01:07:28,792
- What do you want, Mr. Churchill?
- I'm looking for a letter.
1034
01:07:28,875 --> 01:07:30,293
What letter?
1035
01:07:30,335 --> 01:07:33,463
I thought there might be something
from Clemmie.
1036
01:07:34,130 --> 01:07:35,423
Not today.
1037
01:07:38,134 --> 01:07:41,263
It's not easy to post letters
in that part of the world.
1038
01:07:46,142 --> 01:07:47,811
Perhaps tomorrow.
1039
01:07:54,651 --> 01:07:57,821
Does the name "Terrence Phillip"
mean anything to you?
1040
01:07:57,904 --> 01:08:01,032
Terrence Phillip? Yes. Art dealer, I think.
1041
01:08:01,283 --> 01:08:02,826
Anything known?
1042
01:08:03,618 --> 01:08:04,911
Good-looking?
1043
01:08:04,995 --> 01:08:08,415
Rather dashing, plenty of money.
His father was rich.
1044
01:08:08,874 --> 01:08:10,959
- Married?
- No.
1045
01:08:12,794 --> 01:08:16,256
Clemmie seems to be
quite chummy with him.
1046
01:08:16,339 --> 01:08:18,133
She keeps mentioning him.
1047
01:08:18,216 --> 01:08:20,802
- He's on the boat with her?
- He is.
1048
01:08:23,305 --> 01:08:25,932
- I'm idiotically jealous.
- Winston.
1049
01:08:26,016 --> 01:08:28,768
- I'm sure she's in love with him.
- Rubbish.
1050
01:08:28,852 --> 01:08:31,229
She writes about him in every letter.
1051
01:08:31,313 --> 01:08:33,732
"Terrence and I did this,
Terrence and I did that."
1052
01:08:33,815 --> 01:08:36,943
- They're companions, friends on holiday.
- I know Clemmie.
1053
01:08:37,027 --> 01:08:40,155
I can read between the lines.
I know her thoughts.
1054
01:08:40,530 --> 01:08:43,742
Don't be ridiculous.
She loves you, Winston, very deeply.
1055
01:08:43,825 --> 01:08:46,119
- I'm a rotten husband.
- Nonsense.
1056
01:08:46,203 --> 01:08:50,332
I suppose he's the romantic type.
You know, all that sort of stuff.
1057
01:08:50,540 --> 01:08:52,542
Never got much of that from me.
1058
01:08:52,626 --> 01:08:55,212
It never seemed important,
even when I was young.
1059
01:08:55,295 --> 01:08:58,381
Daisy Fellowes,
she tried to seduce me at the Ritz.
1060
01:09:00,050 --> 01:09:01,301
Wasn't interested.
1061
01:09:01,384 --> 01:09:04,721
Used to think
it was because I smoked too much.
1062
01:09:04,846 --> 01:09:09,142
- Tobacco is bad for love, old age is worse.
- You're talking nonsense, Winston.
1063
01:09:09,226 --> 01:09:13,563
"I've lived too long, I'm in the ruck
I've drunk too deeply of the cup
1064
01:09:13,647 --> 01:09:18,360
"I cannot spend, I cannot fuck
I'm down and out, I'm buggered up"
1065
01:09:18,443 --> 01:09:20,028
Where did you get that from?
1066
01:09:20,111 --> 01:09:23,990
It's a translation from the Russian.
Pushkin, I believe.
1067
01:09:27,744 --> 01:09:30,038
You may laugh, Desmond Morton...
1068
01:09:30,413 --> 01:09:32,582
but I think about it all the time.
1069
01:09:32,666 --> 01:09:34,668
Clemmie and that fellow.
1070
01:09:34,751 --> 01:09:37,254
She'll be home soon, Winston.
1071
01:09:39,589 --> 01:09:43,218
Wrap me up in me tarpaulin jacket
1072
01:09:44,261 --> 01:09:47,847
And say a poor trooper lies low
1073
01:09:48,682 --> 01:09:51,226
Get six stalwart lancers
1074
01:09:51,434 --> 01:09:52,978
to carry me
1075
01:09:53,770 --> 01:09:56,856
with steps silent, mournful
1076
01:09:57,607 --> 01:09:59,359
and slow
1077
01:10:03,405 --> 01:10:04,906
Mr. Churchill!
1078
01:10:08,118 --> 01:10:09,661
Inches, you're drund.
1079
01:10:09,744 --> 01:10:11,371
She's here, sir.
1080
01:10:12,122 --> 01:10:13,248
What?
1081
01:10:13,456 --> 01:10:16,877
- Taxi's coming down the drive, sir.
- What are you talking about?
1082
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:18,628
Mrs. Churchill, sir.
1083
01:10:18,712 --> 01:10:20,589
- She's here?
- Yes, sir.
1084
01:10:21,756 --> 01:10:23,133
She's here!
1085
01:10:28,805 --> 01:10:30,307
Out of my way!
1086
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:38,773
Lovely.
1087
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:41,943
Thanks very much.
1088
01:10:55,790 --> 01:10:57,584
Why are you all wet?
1089
01:10:58,001 --> 01:11:01,004
I thought I'd never see you again.
1090
01:11:06,718 --> 01:11:08,094
Here I am.
1091
01:11:15,852 --> 01:11:18,021
Mr. Inches, how are you?
1092
01:11:29,324 --> 01:11:31,117
So, you had a good time?
1093
01:11:31,201 --> 01:11:32,494
Wonderful.
1094
01:11:34,996 --> 01:11:36,873
I missed you very much.
1095
01:11:38,083 --> 01:11:39,751
I missed you, too.
1096
01:11:42,379 --> 01:11:43,964
I'm not sure...
1097
01:11:45,173 --> 01:11:46,925
that I believe that.
1098
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:02,732
You seem to have seen
a lot of Mr. Terrence Phillip.
1099
01:12:02,816 --> 01:12:03,858
Yes.
1100
01:12:04,693 --> 01:12:06,152
You like him?
1101
01:12:06,236 --> 01:12:07,779
He was good fun.
1102
01:12:08,196 --> 01:12:09,447
Good fun?
1103
01:12:10,115 --> 01:12:12,033
He's very interesting.
1104
01:12:14,494 --> 01:12:16,621
I hear he's much in demand.
1105
01:12:16,997 --> 01:12:20,083
All the hostesses in London want him
at their dinner table.
1106
01:12:20,166 --> 01:12:21,209
Yes.
1107
01:12:23,628 --> 01:12:25,297
I'm sure they do.
1108
01:12:31,261 --> 01:12:34,431
You should ask him here for the weekend.
1109
01:12:37,851 --> 01:12:39,603
Did you...
1110
01:12:39,936 --> 01:12:41,813
fall in love with him?
1111
01:12:49,821 --> 01:12:51,573
He made me like him.
1112
01:13:02,751 --> 01:13:04,294
Mr. Pug...
1113
01:13:06,963 --> 01:13:09,591
your new island looks lovely.
1114
01:13:12,719 --> 01:13:14,930
At Versailles it was laid down...
1115
01:13:14,971 --> 01:13:18,475
and at Locarno it was confirmedthat Germany was forbidden to take...
1116
01:13:18,558 --> 01:13:21,353
any armed forces into the Rhineland zone.
1117
01:13:21,436 --> 01:13:24,773
And for 18 years,the fortresses of Frankfurt, Koblenz...
1118
01:13:24,814 --> 01:13:28,485
and the other garrison cities on the Rhinehave been empty...
1119
01:13:28,568 --> 01:13:31,112
but gradually, under dictator Hitler...
1120
01:13:31,196 --> 01:13:34,866
Germany has been assertingher independence from treaty obligations.
1121
01:13:34,950 --> 01:13:37,160
First, she left the League of Nations...
1122
01:13:37,244 --> 01:13:39,996
then set about rebuilding her army,navy and air force.
1123
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:43,792
Until today, when her forces play at warand mimic battle...
1124
01:13:43,833 --> 01:13:47,921
Germany is seen again to beone of the great armed powers of Europe.
1125
01:14:10,902 --> 01:14:12,487
We're powerless.
1126
01:14:13,530 --> 01:14:16,449
Hitler's preparing to tear the world apart...
1127
01:14:17,158 --> 01:14:18,493
and we can do nothing.
1128
01:14:18,535 --> 01:14:20,745
Of course we can, and we shall.
1129
01:14:22,497 --> 01:14:24,708
I should never have
shown you those papers.
1130
01:14:24,791 --> 01:14:26,084
What do you mean?
1131
01:14:26,167 --> 01:14:29,296
Perhaps the Prime Minister's right.
1132
01:14:30,046 --> 01:14:33,008
Perhaps we should try to find a compromise
with "Herr" Hitler.
1133
01:14:33,091 --> 01:14:35,844
Don't be ridiculous,
you know that's impossible.
1134
01:14:35,927 --> 01:14:39,389
Then perhaps we should
let him have his own way.
1135
01:14:39,681 --> 01:14:43,101
For God's sake, Ralph,
what ridiculous nonsense is this?
1136
01:14:43,184 --> 01:14:46,730
Ralph, you're tired. We should go home.
1137
01:14:46,897 --> 01:14:49,733
Hundreds of thousands of people will die.
1138
01:14:50,025 --> 01:14:51,318
Millions.
1139
01:14:52,235 --> 01:14:53,778
And I shall be responsible.
1140
01:14:53,862 --> 01:14:57,073
- Ralph, that's just not true.
- Partly responsible, then.
1141
01:14:57,157 --> 01:14:59,743
How would you be remotely responsible?
1142
01:14:59,826 --> 01:15:02,329
By showing those papers to Winston.
1143
01:15:02,412 --> 01:15:04,414
By stirring up public opinion.
1144
01:15:04,497 --> 01:15:08,376
By making it impossible for the government
to reach a settlement with the Nazis.
1145
01:15:08,585 --> 01:15:12,631
Hitler is unstoppable. In three years,
he's made himself dictator of Germany...
1146
01:15:12,714 --> 01:15:15,550
dumped the Treaty of Versailles,
rebuilt the armed forces.
1147
01:15:15,592 --> 01:15:19,471
He'll march into Austria,
and then Czechoslovakia, and then...
1148
01:15:20,096 --> 01:15:22,682
God knows what, the whole of Europe.
1149
01:15:23,558 --> 01:15:25,685
There may be a war.
1150
01:15:25,769 --> 01:15:27,395
I grant you that.
1151
01:15:28,230 --> 01:15:30,357
Nevertheless, we shall win.
1152
01:15:30,857 --> 01:15:32,651
How can you say that?
1153
01:15:33,151 --> 01:15:35,278
It's just mindless optimism.
1154
01:15:36,613 --> 01:15:40,408
When I was in school,
I had a friend called Murland Evans...
1155
01:15:41,201 --> 01:15:45,664
and one day we were talking about
what we would do when we were grown up.
1156
01:15:46,414 --> 01:15:48,792
And I don't know why I said this...
1157
01:15:48,833 --> 01:15:50,877
or why I thought it.
1158
01:15:51,628 --> 01:15:53,046
But I said:
1159
01:15:53,505 --> 01:15:57,759
"One day in the future,
Britain will be in great danger...
1160
01:15:58,802 --> 01:16:01,096
"and it will fall to me...
1161
01:16:01,388 --> 01:16:03,765
"to save London and the Empire."
1162
01:16:05,308 --> 01:16:06,977
Schoolboy fantasy.
1163
01:16:07,936 --> 01:16:11,231
I wanted to play for England
and go climb Everest.
1164
01:16:11,398 --> 01:16:12,732
My destiny.
1165
01:16:14,985 --> 01:16:16,778
And I truly believe it.
1166
01:16:18,321 --> 01:16:20,574
You're an extraordinary man, Winston.
1167
01:16:20,657 --> 01:16:22,242
I am, I know it.
1168
01:16:22,951 --> 01:16:27,122
Nobody but you could say that sort of thing
and expect people to believe it.
1169
01:16:27,205 --> 01:16:29,457
Destiny is what I believe in.
1170
01:16:30,792 --> 01:16:32,544
Destiny commands...
1171
01:16:33,169 --> 01:16:34,671
we must obey.
1172
01:16:48,810 --> 01:16:51,021
Not a very jolly lunch, I'm afraid.
1173
01:16:51,104 --> 01:16:52,647
look out for yourself, Ava.
1174
01:16:52,731 --> 01:16:55,275
take care of Ralph, he needs you so much.
1175
01:16:55,358 --> 01:16:57,444
I will. Thank you, Clemmie.
1176
01:16:59,446 --> 01:17:00,697
Goodbye.
1177
01:17:08,371 --> 01:17:10,040
"All over Europe...
1178
01:17:10,457 --> 01:17:12,542
"is the hush of suspense.
1179
01:17:13,168 --> 01:17:16,838
"And in many lands, it is the hush of fear.
1180
01:17:18,548 --> 01:17:21,343
"During these last few years...
1181
01:17:22,302 --> 01:17:25,138
"the world has grown gravely darker.
1182
01:17:26,389 --> 01:17:28,600
"We have steadily disarmed...
1183
01:17:28,683 --> 01:17:33,521
"partly with a sincere desire
to give a lead to other countries...
1184
01:17:34,231 --> 01:17:38,068
"and partly through
the severe financial pressure of the time.
1185
01:17:39,361 --> 01:17:41,905
"But a change must now be make.
1186
01:17:43,365 --> 01:17:48,787
"We must not continue longer on a course
in which we alone are growing weaker...
1187
01:17:49,329 --> 01:17:52,374
"while Germany is growing stronger."
1188
01:17:52,457 --> 01:17:53,833
Hear, hear.
1189
01:17:58,922 --> 01:18:00,632
Prime Minister...
1190
01:18:00,715 --> 01:18:02,509
Hello, Winston.
1191
01:18:05,554 --> 01:18:10,308
I hear there's a nonsensical rumor
that you're about to retire.
1192
01:18:11,059 --> 01:18:13,395
Please, state that that isn't the case.
1193
01:18:13,478 --> 01:18:17,065
I should be making
an official announcement in due course.
1194
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:20,944
But please, be discrete,
I don't want everybody to know.
1195
01:18:21,027 --> 01:18:22,946
I'm very surprised.
1196
01:18:23,321 --> 01:18:26,199
You're much loved in the country, Stanley.
1197
01:18:26,283 --> 01:18:28,577
I've had my day. I'm exhausted.
1198
01:18:29,035 --> 01:18:33,748
You know, some days I am so tired,
I can hardly turn over the pages of a book.
1199
01:18:35,667 --> 01:18:37,961
We've had our differences.
1200
01:18:38,461 --> 01:18:40,505
Profound differences.
1201
01:18:41,631 --> 01:18:43,466
But I've always admired...
1202
01:18:43,550 --> 01:18:46,428
your great political sdills.
1203
01:18:48,305 --> 01:18:50,473
Winston, let me tell you something.
1204
01:18:50,557 --> 01:18:55,186
To my mind, war is the greatest folly
that can afflict mankind.
1205
01:18:55,270 --> 01:18:58,773
- Absolutely, no question about it...
- Please, don't interrupt.
1206
01:18:58,857 --> 01:19:02,819
Maybe you're right about Hitler.
Perhaps this war is inevitable.
1207
01:19:02,861 --> 01:19:05,280
But I believe that I am also right.
1208
01:19:05,322 --> 01:19:08,783
I have done everything in my power
to preserve peace...
1209
01:19:08,867 --> 01:19:12,204
and I would do exactly the same,
all over again.
1210
01:19:13,622 --> 01:19:15,373
Bloodshed, sorrow...
1211
01:19:15,832 --> 01:19:17,584
irreparable loss...
1212
01:19:18,335 --> 01:19:21,296
that's what I've been hoping to prevent.
1213
01:19:21,671 --> 01:19:23,465
But, as I say...
1214
01:19:24,466 --> 01:19:26,343
you may well be right.
1215
01:19:47,239 --> 01:19:49,783
So many telegrams today!
1216
01:19:50,617 --> 01:19:52,953
German troops are on the march.
1217
01:19:53,161 --> 01:19:56,456
Thousands of them. Hence all the telegrams.
1218
01:19:56,957 --> 01:20:00,919
Hitler's planning to invade the world,
and we're planning to do nothing about it.
1219
01:20:01,002 --> 01:20:03,171
What do you make of that, Marjorie?
1220
01:20:04,297 --> 01:20:08,802
Perhaps we should go home?
Or we could take a stroll in St. James's Park.
1221
01:20:08,885 --> 01:20:14,015
It's remarkable weather for this time of year,
and we're hardly much use here, are we?
1222
01:20:20,272 --> 01:20:22,065
Sorry, Marjorie.
1223
01:20:23,858 --> 01:20:25,527
It's a poor joke.
1224
01:20:30,782 --> 01:20:32,576
Thank you for these.
1225
01:20:38,373 --> 01:20:42,294
Marjorie, I meant to ask,
what time is the defense meeting tomorrow?
1226
01:20:42,377 --> 01:20:45,547
I don't think you're required
at that meeting, Mr. Wigram.
1227
01:20:45,589 --> 01:20:48,216
We haven't received any notification.
1228
01:20:49,759 --> 01:20:51,219
Not required?
1229
01:20:54,097 --> 01:20:55,223
Fine.
1230
01:20:57,100 --> 01:20:59,227
Funny how word gets around.
1231
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:08,570
Thank you very much.
Come on, my little man.
1232
01:21:11,990 --> 01:21:14,451
Charlie, it's snowing, how lovely.
1233
01:21:14,576 --> 01:21:17,245
- Ethel, can you manage?
- Yes, thank you, ma'am.
1234
01:21:17,287 --> 01:21:21,917
We should go find Daddy in the garden
and make a snowman, what do you think?
1235
01:21:23,543 --> 01:21:25,295
Oh, silly Mommy.
1236
01:21:27,422 --> 01:21:28,840
Silly Mommy!
1237
01:21:31,635 --> 01:21:36,181
We wish you a merry ChristmasWe wish you a merry Christmas
1238
01:21:36,306 --> 01:21:40,477
We wish you a merry Christmasand a happy New Year
1239
01:21:41,603 --> 01:21:43,772
- Shall I take him?
- Thank you.
1240
01:21:43,813 --> 01:21:46,983
Come on, young man,
what you need is a bath!
1241
01:21:47,067 --> 01:21:48,401
Good bath.
1242
01:21:49,444 --> 01:21:51,112
Be up in a minute.
1243
01:21:55,659 --> 01:21:56,826
Ralph?
1244
01:21:59,621 --> 01:22:01,081
What's wrong?
1245
01:22:01,957 --> 01:22:03,208
Nothing.
1246
01:22:04,709 --> 01:22:06,586
- Drink?
- Please.
1247
01:22:53,341 --> 01:22:55,510
The snow has settled.
1248
01:22:56,386 --> 01:22:57,888
How wonderful.
1249
01:22:58,179 --> 01:23:01,850
We must take Charlie to the park,
he's never seen snow like this.
1250
01:23:01,933 --> 01:23:04,185
So beautiful, like a painting.
1251
01:23:05,020 --> 01:23:08,523
You must telephone to the office.
Tell them you won't be in today.
1252
01:23:08,648 --> 01:23:12,652
Just for two or three hours.
It is Christmas, after all. They'll spare you.
1253
01:23:13,028 --> 01:23:17,282
I'm afraid I absolutely forbid you
to go to work on a day like today.
1254
01:23:32,005 --> 01:23:34,216
Poor turnout from Whitehall.
1255
01:23:34,257 --> 01:23:36,676
I know, pretty bloody awful.
1256
01:23:37,260 --> 01:23:41,681
We had lunch with him a few days ago,
and he was very upset then.
1257
01:23:41,765 --> 01:23:44,684
I was quite frightened. Do you think...
1258
01:23:44,768 --> 01:23:48,563
It says a pulmonary hemorrhage
on the death certificate.
1259
01:23:48,647 --> 01:23:51,274
I think we should leave it at that.
1260
01:24:10,627 --> 01:24:13,922
He said it was all pointless,
everything he tried to do.
1261
01:24:15,799 --> 01:24:17,467
Was it pointless?
1262
01:24:19,928 --> 01:24:22,347
His life was very precious to me.
1263
01:24:24,057 --> 01:24:26,017
Please, tell me it wasn't wasted.
1264
01:24:26,101 --> 01:24:29,437
Ava, my dear, you'll be very proud of him.
1265
01:24:30,146 --> 01:24:32,691
People often act heroically...
1266
01:24:32,774 --> 01:24:36,611
because they don't fully appreciate
the dangers that lie ahead.
1267
01:24:36,653 --> 01:24:40,282
Ralph saw all those dangers
and was afraid of them...
1268
01:24:41,324 --> 01:24:44,911
but he did what he did, in spite of his fear.
1269
01:24:45,912 --> 01:24:48,498
No man can be braver than that.
1270
01:24:49,165 --> 01:24:50,917
Thank you, Winston.
1271
01:25:29,039 --> 01:25:30,373
What is it?
1272
01:25:31,499 --> 01:25:33,335
Any invading force...
1273
01:25:34,211 --> 01:25:37,130
would march across
our little bit of England...
1274
01:25:37,214 --> 01:25:39,132
on their way to London.
1275
01:25:42,093 --> 01:25:44,262
I wonder how long we've got.
1276
01:25:57,359 --> 01:25:58,860
This is London.
1277
01:25:58,944 --> 01:26:02,030
You will now hear a statementby the Prime Minister...
1278
01:26:02,113 --> 01:26:04,866
the right honorable Neville Chamberlain.
1279
01:26:05,033 --> 01:26:07,244
I am speaking to you...
1280
01:26:07,536 --> 01:26:10,914
from the cabinet room at 10 Downing Street.
1281
01:26:12,415 --> 01:26:16,545
This morning,the British ambassador in Berlin...
1282
01:26:16,670 --> 01:26:20,590
handed the German governmenta final note...
1283
01:26:21,132 --> 01:26:25,845
stating thatunless we heard from them by 11:00...
1284
01:26:26,638 --> 01:26:29,099
that they were prepared at once...
1285
01:26:29,307 --> 01:26:32,060
to withdraw their troops from Poland...
1286
01:26:32,102 --> 01:26:35,188
a state of war would exist between us.
1287
01:26:37,857 --> 01:26:42,779
I have to tell you now thatno such undertaking has been received...
1288
01:26:43,822 --> 01:26:45,574
and that, consequently...
1289
01:26:45,657 --> 01:26:49,369
this country is at war with Germany.
1290
01:27:00,881 --> 01:27:02,382
Mr. Churchill!
1291
01:27:03,008 --> 01:27:04,885
Upstairs, Mrs. P.
1292
01:27:04,968 --> 01:27:08,597
- What's the matter?
- Telephone, sir. The Prime Minister's office.
1293
01:27:27,365 --> 01:27:30,452
First Lord of the Admiralty, back in power!
1294
01:27:32,913 --> 01:27:35,832
Jolly good show, marvelous!
1295
01:27:39,169 --> 01:27:41,922
I have been made a member
of the War Cabinet.
1296
01:27:42,005 --> 01:27:45,425
Mrs. Churchill and I
must now make our home in London.
1297
01:27:45,926 --> 01:27:49,679
Needless to say, we shall return to Chartwell
whenever possible.
1298
01:27:49,763 --> 01:27:52,098
Every one of you will be looked after...
1299
01:27:52,182 --> 01:27:55,727
and either retained here,
or found good jobs elsewhere.
1300
01:27:55,810 --> 01:27:58,146
Mr. Inches has all the details.
1301
01:27:58,855 --> 01:28:01,942
There may be
difficult and painful times ahead.
1302
01:28:02,567 --> 01:28:05,278
But now that I'm in charge of the Navy...
1303
01:28:05,362 --> 01:28:09,199
Mr. Hitler and his Nazi thugs
had better look out.
1304
01:28:09,282 --> 01:28:12,494
We're going to teach them a lesson
they'll never forget!
1305
01:28:15,330 --> 01:28:16,873
Good luck, sir.
1306
01:28:39,437 --> 01:28:42,440
Mr. Inches, I think a glass of champagne
might be in order.
1307
01:28:42,524 --> 01:28:45,735
With respect, sir,
I think we might save that for happier days.
1308
01:28:45,819 --> 01:28:46,820
Quite right.
1309
01:28:46,903 --> 01:28:49,781
However, there's a good claret
you may be interested in.
1310
01:28:49,864 --> 01:28:53,326
It is a very good year,
I can't tell you which year.
1311
01:29:04,796 --> 01:29:07,799
Not the House of Commons, the Admiralty!
1312
01:29:08,592 --> 01:29:10,552
I've got a navy to run!
1313
01:29:36,620 --> 01:29:39,247
Just before the Battle of Blenheim...
1314
01:29:40,582 --> 01:29:42,792
Marlborough said to his aide:
1315
01:29:43,585 --> 01:29:46,713
"Today, I conquer or die."
1316
01:29:48,924 --> 01:29:50,842
Now I know how he felt.
1317
01:29:56,848 --> 01:29:58,225
Thank you.
1318
01:29:59,684 --> 01:30:00,977
For what?
1319
01:30:01,978 --> 01:30:04,648
For being rash enough to marry me...
1320
01:30:04,981 --> 01:30:07,984
foolish enough to stay with me...
1321
01:30:09,486 --> 01:30:12,948
and for loving me in a way...
1322
01:30:13,365 --> 01:30:15,909
I thought I'd never be loved.
1323
01:31:01,872 --> 01:31:03,164
At ease.
1324
01:31:06,251 --> 01:31:08,461
- Good evening.
- Good evening, sir.
1325
01:31:08,545 --> 01:31:11,339
- I'm the new First Lord.
- Yes, sir, we know that.
1326
01:31:11,381 --> 01:31:12,549
How do you know?
1327
01:31:12,632 --> 01:31:15,427
A signal was sent to the fleet this afternoon.
1328
01:31:15,510 --> 01:31:16,928
What signal?
1329
01:31:17,345 --> 01:31:19,264
"Winston is back," sir.
1330
01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:23,310
"Winston is back."
1331
01:31:26,855 --> 01:31:29,190
And so he bloody well is!
