1
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,400
Idiot!

2
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,873
Ah! Mr. Karim!

3
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,074
I wanted to speak to you
about the carpets

4
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,674
we sent to the
British Exhibition.

5
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,719
There is a problem, sir?
No, no.

6
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,280
The carpets went down very well.

7
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,709
In fact, the Governor General

8
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:32,149
has received a letter
from the Royal Household

9
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,549
thanking him personally.

10
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,430
It's all been such a success,
he has decided

11
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,071
to present the Queen with a
"Mohur" as part of the Jubilee.

12
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:42,710
A "Mohur," sir?

13
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:43,950
A Mohur.

14
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,033
Apparently, it's some sort
of ceremonial coin.

15
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,874
I have been asked to find
someone tall to present it.

16
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,269
You're the tallest person here.

17
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,198
When will she be arriving, sir?

18
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,675
Not in Agra...

19
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,035
In England!

20
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,760
You will travel to England

21
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:03,351
and present the Mohur
at an official function.

22
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,114
Like an equerry.

23
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,033
On a horse?

24
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,953
I don't think there'll be
a horse.

25
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,518
Equerry always has a horse,
Mr. Tyler, sir.

26
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,317
Well, maybe not like
an equerry, exactly.

27
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,236
Morning!

28
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:23,036
Ah! Morning!

29
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,470
This is Major Bigge...

30
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,639
Extra Groom-in-Waiting to
the Royal Household, Windsor,

31
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,031
who will be in charge
of your journey.

32
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,237
This is Abdul.
Top hole!

33
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:33,954
And this is Mohammed,

34
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,874
who will also be
presenting the Mohur.

35
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,319
He's very short.

36
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,358
We had to swap him
at the last moment.

37
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,911
The tall chap had an accident
with an elephant.

38
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,592
Good morning, Your Majesty.

39
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,070
At the head
is the Lord Chamberlain,

40
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,152
then the Private Secretary,
the Deputy Private Secretary,

41
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,950
the ladies-in-waiting, the upper
servants, the lower-upper servants.

42
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,349
Then the members
of the Household.

43
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,715
One, the Head of the Bedchamber.

44
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:23,035
Two, the Personal Head of Staff.

45
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,870
Three, the Butler in Chief, who is
in charge of the Household Butler,

46
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,714
the kitchen factotum, the Head
Chef, the head of waiting staff,

47
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,679
the ordinary waiting staff,
Windsor, the table maids,

48
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:34,194
then you.
Any questions?

49
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,670
Uh-huh. Who will have
the Mohur, sir?

50
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,872
I'm not exactly sure as yet.

51
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,111
I suspect you'll both
carry it on a cushion.

52
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:42,876
Do we both get a cushion?

53
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,110
I really don't know.

54
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:48,957
The key to good service is
standing still and moving backwards.

55
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:53,638
The most important thing
is you must not look at her.

56
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,551
Have you any idea
how cold it is in England?

57
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:12,915
We're gonna die there.

58
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,560
Why did you agree to come?

59
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,949
The tall one
fell off an elephant.

60
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,759
I wasn't given a choice.

61
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,595
Ugh! Five thousand miles
to present a bloody medal

62
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,070
to the oppressor of the
entire Indian subcontinent.

63
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,677
You don't realize what a
great honor this is for us.

64
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:30,196
Have you ever tasted English
food? They eat pigs' blood.

65
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,352
They do not eat pigs' blood.
I'm telling you.

66
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,512
They put pigs' blood in the
sausages and brains of sheep.

67
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,196
Ugh!

68
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,397
The place is
completely barbaric.

69
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,434
Give me some money.

70
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,236
Please, sir.

71
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,153
Civilization!

72
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,390
Give us a farthing.

73
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,313
Give us a farthing, sir.

74
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,914
Arms.

75
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:08,270
Arms.

76
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,676
We copied them from some
drawings in the British Museum.

77
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,796
Splendid!

78
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,271
You do know a sash is
not traditional, sir?

79
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,439
The Indian drawings
didn't look very... "Indian."

80
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,671
So we made some innovations.

81
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:25,513
The important thing is to look

82
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:28,115
authentic.

83
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,913
Looks jolly good to me.

84
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,834
Jubilee celebrations.
9:00, breakfast in London.

85
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,593
Quarter to 10:00,
changing of the guard.

86
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,037
11:00, meeting with
the Swedish Ambassador.

87
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,477
12:00, luncheon with Oscar II,
King of Sweden and Norway,

88
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,313
the Norwegian Ambassador, the
Chief Under-Secretary of State

89
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,198
for the Southern
Norwegian Provinces,

90
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,591
the Junior
Under-Secretary of State

91
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,837
for the Northern
Norwegian Provinces.

92
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:54,320
2:00, ceremonial
drive down the Mall.

93
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,470
Half past 2:00,

94
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,117
tea party at Hyde Park
for 30,000 children.

95
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,435
Half past 4:00,

96
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,638
Household departs on
the Royal train for Windsor.

97
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,477
Half past 6:00,
dinner in the Great Hall.

98
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,677
Come on, men! Chop, chop!

99
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,194
And the ceremonial presentation

100
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,040
of a Mohur.

101
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,517
The Hindus, sir!

102
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,234
But they're
completely different sizes.

103
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,960
There was an incident,
sir, with an elephant.

104
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,150
Hmm.

105
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,232
The Queen arrives.

106
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,510
Fanfares.

107
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,317
Ceremonial entrance.

108
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,276
The Royal Entourage
make their way to the table

109
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,876
to be seated thus.

110
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,236
Her Majesty.

111
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,193
Sir Henry Ponsonby,
Private Secretary,

112
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,640
the Secretary of
State for India,

113
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,157
the Emperor of Russia, Dr. Reid,
Lady Churchill, Miss Phipps,

114
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,390
et cetera, et cetera.

115
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,516
Grace.

116
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,834
Soup, potage Saint-Germain
with purée de Madeleine.

117
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,635
Fish course, morue aux huîtres.

118
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:04,756
Fanfare.

119
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,079
Entrée, quenelle with regency
sauce, et cetera, et cetera.

120
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,471
Dessert, pain d'épinards,

121
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,519
tartelettes à la suisse,
profiteroles.

122
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,314
Always profiteroles.

123
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,678
You will come from the
northwest service entrance.

124
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:20,910
Process together.

125
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,037
And you will stand here.

126
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,276
No!

127
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,431
A little bit.
That's it.

128
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,231
Presenting the tray thus.

129
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,710
Tray?

130
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,517
I thought it was a cushion.

131
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,354
You will present the tray...

132
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,556
Excuse me.

133
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:37,870
Do I get a tray?

134
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,440
No. We've only
got one tray.

135
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,193
So, what do I do?

136
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,516
You'll just have to improvise.

137
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,354
Whatever you do, you must
not look at Her Majesty.

138
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,035
You will bow again.
Then moving backwards,

139
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,760
you will turn to your left,
you will lead thus,

140
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,719
and you will
process down the hall

141
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,395
to be met by Mr. Bigge,

142
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,750
who will walk you to the north
wall, where you will stand

143
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,200
till the end of the meal.

144
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,798
Would you like me to
run through that again?

145
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,919
Mr. Yorke, she's
heading to Paddington!

146
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,400
Everybody out!

147
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,757
You two, stairs, now!

148
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,633
Jesus Christ!
Where are the quenelles?

149
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:29,153
Oi, you two,

150
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,515
out of it!

151
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:32,239
She's at the station, sir!

152
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,517
Jesus H Christ,
she's at the station!

153
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:38,037
For God's sake,
just wait where you were told.

154
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,919
Open the door.

155
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,198
Open the doors!

156
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,959
Open the doors!

157
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,998
Open the doors!

158
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,190
She's here.

159
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,390
Soup.

160
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,594
Soup!

161
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,032
Soup! Soup!

162
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,592
Soup!

163
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,714
Soup!

164
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,150
Thank heavens!

165
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,472
Soup, Your Majesty.

166
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,359
What, are you taking it all?

167
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,030
I haven't finished yet.

168
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,352
I'm afraid you have to be quick.

169
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,239
They take it off you
as soon as she's done.

170
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,153
One down, six to go.

171
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,039
The morue aux huîtres,
and then the quenelle.

172
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,156
Yes, sir.

173
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,754
"The morue aux huîtres,
and then the quenelles."

174
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,912
This is bloody ridiculous.

175
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,954
Two months in a boat, and
I haven't even got a tray?

176
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,192
Yes. Apparently you
have to chew it 32 times.

177
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,272
I have the Mohur.

178
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,196
Is that it?

179
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,240
Your Majesty?

180
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,554
Your Majesty?

181
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:26,875
The, uh...

182
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,553
The profiteroles.

183
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:51,635
Is that it?

184
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:52,870
Profiteroles have gone.

185
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,680
Gentlemen, process,
turn, bow, present,

186
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,480
and absolutely no
eye contact whatsoever.

187
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,754
A gift from the Indian Empire.

188
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,117
A Mohur, Your Majesty.

189
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,230
A what?

190
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,912
A Mughal coin, Your Majesty.

191
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,919
In honor of your service
to the subcontinent.

192
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,000
Have we finished?

193
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,115
We still have coffee,
Your Majesty.

194
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,154
Eyes!

195
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,596
Good morning, Your Majesty.

196
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,917
Breakfast with
the Royal Princes of Belgium.

197
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,720
11:00, an audience
with the Sultan of Dubai

198
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,033
where Her Majesty will be presented
with the Diamond of Ooojay.

199
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,317
Garden party where
Her Majesty will receive

200
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,240
Oscar II, King of
Sweden and Norway, again.

201
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,360
And Queen Lili'uokalani.

202
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,079
Who on Earth is she?

203
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,397
A monarch and sole Queen Regnant

204
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,591
of the Kingdom of Hawaii,
Your Majesty.

205
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,479
She has composed a song for you.

206
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,913
On the ukulele.

207
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,555
But we have managed
to put her off.

208
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,758
Then you will eat with the
Prime Minister, and, at 7:00,

209
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,640
the banquet in
the State Dining Room.

210
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,631
And your movements,
Your Majesty?

211
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,911
Nothing to speak of,
Dr. Reid.

212
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,238
Not even during the day?

213
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,232
We last moved on Sunday evening.

214
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,753
I fear these celebratory dinners

215
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,633
are taking their toll,
Your Majesty.

216
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,996
Might I suggest
some Benger's mixture?

217
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,395
I refuse to eat Benger's.
It's baby food.

218
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,631
But it is imperative,
Your Majesty,

219
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,634
that the Royal colon
receives a little roughage.

220
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,440
Anything else?

221
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,873
Was Your Majesty
pleased with the Mohur?

222
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:01,110
What?

223
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,635
The Mohur.
The ceremonial coin.

224
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,713
Presented by the
two Indian servants.

225
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,669
I thought the tall one
was terribly handsome.

226
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,712
Stop!

227
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,590
Slight change of plan.

228
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,629
You must not talk
to any of the guests.

229
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,395
Nod or bow, but, please,

230
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,520
do not interact with anybody
other than the serving staff.

231
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,878
I will come to you
when the Queen is seated,

232
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,273
and you will present the
Royal pudding as requested.

233
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:03,995
Excuse me, sir...

234
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,560
But what is it?

235
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,629
That is a jelly.

236
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,280
A pudding made from
the liquor of fruit.

237
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,880
How do they get it so stiff?

238
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,351
Gelatine,
a by-product of cow bone.

239
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,756
There's another famine in India.

240
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,431
More trouble in Ireland,
I'm afraid.

241
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,637
Suez is a perennial nightmare.

242
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,519
And I'm afraid
the Boers are at it again.

243
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,751
Is there any good news,
Prime Minister?

244
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,429
Well, we've decided to
annex Zululand, Your Majesty.

245
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:35,829
Whatever for?

246
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:39,319
We really have to box in
the Boers if we possibly can.

247
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,398
Oh, Prime Minister, you
really are terribly depressing.

248
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,790
Yes.

249
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,639
Ah, sandwiches! Mm!

250
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,715
Splendid!

251
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,389
That's wonderful.

252
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,230
Oh!

253
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,160
Splendid!

254
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,029
Jelly, Your Majesty.

255
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,472
I suddenly feel
a great deal better.

256
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,119
What the hell were you thinking?

257
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,515
You said,
"Present the jelly," sir.

258
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,718
I didn't say kiss the feet
of the Empress of India!

259
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,280
I thought it would cheer her up.

260
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:48,476
Cheer her up?

261
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,517
They'll have me
court-martialed!

262
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,400
What on Earth is going on?

263
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,313
Her Majesty has requested
Mr. Karim and Mr. Baksh

264
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,230
be her personal footmen

265
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,719
for the rest of the Jubilee.

266
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,674
Ah, gentlemen.
You can wait here by the door.

267
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,309
Her Majesty wants you to stand
in here, by the writing desk.

268
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:20,470
Go on.

269
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,714
Thank you.

270
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:32,954
You may go.

271
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,870
Oh, thank you, Your Majesty.

272
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,399
Don't worry.

273
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,279
I'm not going to eat you.

274
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,152
"Dr. Reid,"

275
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:55,517
"a very successful movement"

276
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,992
"at 8:00 this morning."

277
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,913
What the hell is
going on in there?

278
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,314
Thank you, Mr...

279
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,160
Abdul.

280
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,389
Abdul Karim.

281
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:30,830
I am always writing.

282
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,156
In India, I'm writing
all day, every day.

283
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,110
So in India,
you are not a servant?

284
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,432
No. In India, I'm writing
in my very big book.

285
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,716
You're writing a book?

286
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,794
Yes. I'm writing every name, who
they are, what they have done.

287
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:50,960
This is my life.

288
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,994
Every day, I'm writing,
from morning to night.

289
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,958
And is this fiction?
No.

290
00:21:56,120 --> 00:21:58,032
It is the very truth.

291
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,555
I don't understand.

292
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,235
If you are an author,
why are you here?

293
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:04,880
Presenting me with a...

294
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,156
The Mohur.

295
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,674
It is my humble privilege
to serve Her Majesty.

296
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,595
I was the one who
chose your carpets.

297
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,116
Carpets?

298
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,513
Yes. The Viceroy asked Mr. Tyler,
sir, but actually it was me.

299
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,118
You have to have a very
good eye for the carpets.

300
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,791
Like, this is a very
nice one, for example.

301
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,917
Very, very tight knots.

302
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:39,556
The art of carpets

303
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,509
came to India from Persia
with the great Emperor Akbar.

304
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,676
The skill of a carpet

305
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,032
is to bring all the different
kinds of threads together

306
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,637
and weave something
we can all stand on.

307
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,996
You seem to know
a great deal about it.

308
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,756
My family were carpet makers,

309
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,112
but now I write in the book.

310
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,515
Life is like a carpet.

311
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,752
We weave in and out
to make a pattern.

312
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,552
That is a very beautiful image.

313
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:16,670
Look.

314
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,477
Here is the bird of freedom
caught forever in the design.

315
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,150
So, in India you are a poet?

316
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,390
No.

317
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,155
In India, I make
a ledger of the prisoners.

318
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,355
We are all prisoners,
Mr. Karim.

319
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,399
Apparently, he's a poet.

320
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,874
These people are the exploiters

321
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,713
of a quarter of all of mankind.

322
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,073
Do you really think they
give a hoot about us, huh?

323
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,991
We'll bloody well
freeze to death at this rate.

324
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,800
Cut all the nicey-nicey crap, and
let's get the hell out of here.

325
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:16,996
Agreed?

326
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,709
I promise.

327
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,355
Good night.

328
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,992
Will you stop doing that?

329
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,634
You realize

330
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,994
this is the third day in a row.

331
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,596
So, Mr. Abdul,

332
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,957
may I ask what part
of India you're from?

333
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,669
I'm from Agra.

334
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,993
The Taj Mahal?

335
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,396
You have been to the Taj Mahal?

336
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:04,716
No.

337
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,837
It is the most
marvelous building

338
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,877
in the entire world,
Your Majesty.

339
00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:11,192
The Crown of Palaces.

340
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,470
It was built by Shah Jahān
to remember his dead wife

341
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,599
who died at childbirth
during their fourteenth child.

342
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,270
Goodness!

343
00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:22,431
He was so upset with grief,

344
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:27,470
he brought the greatest architects
from Persia, Afghanistan,

345
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,472
to build the Taj Mahal.

346
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:32,589
It certainly sounds
a handsome building.

347
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,154
I'd very much like to see it.

348
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,118
Oh, it is beautiful,
Your Majesty!

349
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,237
It's all white marble.

350
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,280
All that beauty
for the dead Queen.

351
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,999
Mmm. How romantic.

352
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,789
Shah Jahān also
built the Red Fort,

353
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,153
the Gardens of Shalimar,
the Peacock Throne.

354
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:50,829
The Peacock Throne?

355
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,390
It is the most beautiful
throne in all the world.

356
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,917
And inside the throne
was the Koh-i-noor.

357
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,276
But I have the Koh-i-noor.
I wear it as a brooch.

358
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:02,440
Do you?
Yes!

359
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,274
It wasn't very shiny,
so Albert had it recut.

360
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,678
What happened to
the Peacock Throne?

361
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,150
They smashed it up.

362
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,310
How awful.

363
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,313
They're always
smashing things up.

364
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,791
The British soldiers have taken
the jewels from the Taj Mahal.

365
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,679
British soldiers?

366
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,752
Yes, after the Mutiny.

367
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,919
But this is terrible.

368
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,312
What can they be talking about?

369
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,797
A servant and an Indian.

370
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,110
What on Earth
does she see in him?

371
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,678
Well, he is rather handsome.

372
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,317
What happened to Shah Jahān?

373
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,914
He was overthrown by his son
and died in Agra Fort.

374
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,993
The wickedness of children.

375
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,510
They buried him in the Taj
Mahal with his wife, Mumtāz.

376
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,117
They also wrote an inscription.

377
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,471
"Here lies Shah Jahān"

378
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,157
"who left this world for
the Banquet Hall of Eternity."

379
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,278
"The Banquet
Hall of Eternity."

380
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,438
I rather like that idea.

381
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,993
You seem very well informed.

382
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,710
Ah, these are famous
stories of Uttar Pradesh.

383
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:11,950
You should go there.

384
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,793
Oh, I can never go there.
I'm forbidden.

385
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,030
Forbidden?

386
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,032
They fear I would
be assassinated.

387
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,511
So, you have never
seen an Indian street?

388
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,392
Or a stall of spices?
No.

389
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:24,550
Oh...

390
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:25,790
Oh, the spices!

391
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,350
Cumin, coriander,

392
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:29,795
garam masala.

393
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,560
Garam masa...
What is garam masala?

394
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,837
It is what you
put into the sauce.

395
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,436
You have never
tasted Indian food?

396
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,269
Dal? Rogan josh?

397
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,472
Biryani with mango chutney.

398
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:44,955
Mango chutney?

399
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,880
Chutney made out of mango.

400
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,153
What is mango?

401
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,791
Mango is the queen of fruit.

402
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,872
What does it taste like?

403
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,396
Like an orange

404
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,711
and a peach.

405
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:02,110
Hm.

406
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,520
Sir Henry,

407
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,520
I would like a mango.

408
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:08,960
A mango?

409
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,152
Yes, I would like
to taste a mango.

410
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,715
That's impossible, Your Majesty.

411
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,600
They only grow in India.

412
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,400
Well, I'm Empress of India,
so have one sent.

413
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,316
Here!

414
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:46,990
Your Majesty?

415
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:48,510
Oh!

416
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,236
Thank you.

417
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,757
Another one.
Thank you.

418
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,880
How do you like
your new Scottish costumes?

419
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,509
They're very scratchy,
Your Majesty.

420
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,399
Everything in Scotland
is scratchy.

421
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,396
Sir Henry?

422
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,994
When does Bertie arrive?

423
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,560
Tomorrow, Your Majesty.

424
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,076
He's on his way
from Monte Carlo.

425
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,634
It's all right for her.
She's upholstered.

426
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,474
Oh, God, I hate Scotland!

427
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:52,790
Ah...

428
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,271
You must be the Hindus!
Very nice to meet you.

429
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,912
You must be the Hindus.

430
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:05,039
You must be the Hindus.

431
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,317
More, more! More! More.

432
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,352
I wish she'd
bloody well go to bed.

433
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,039
Good morning, Your Majesty.

434
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,759
The boxes, Your Majesty.

435
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,069
Thank you.

436
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,274
And the blank journal
Your Majesty requested.

437
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,594
You may go.

438
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,838
I'm perfectly capable
of working through the boxes.

439
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,510
Abdul is very helpful
with his blotter.

440
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,672
But these are parliamentary
papers, Your Majesty.

441
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:10,956
I'm aware of that.

442
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,839
But Abdul is a servant.

443
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,719
He cannot assist with the boxes.

444
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,031
And I am the Queen of England.

445
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,114
I will have whatever help
I require with the boxes.

446
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,233
And, Sir Henry,

447
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,119
would you get some
gloves for the Hindus?

448
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,192
They're suffering
terribly from the cold.

449
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,872
He's helping her with the boxes.

450
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,031
I want you to teach me Indian.

451
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:52,716
Indian?

452
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,232
Hindu, or whatever
it is you speak.

453
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,111
Are you sure?
Of course I'm sure.

454
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,512
But why would you like to
learn Hindi, Your Majesty?

455
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,273
Well, I'm Empress of India.

456
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,756
Look, I've ordered a book.

457
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,912
I want you to give me
private lessons.

458
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,790
I can't teach you Hindi,
Your Majesty.

459
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,076
Why ever not?

460
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,873
You are the Empress of India.

461
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,433
You should learn Urdu,
language of the Mughals.

462
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,317
There are a thousand
languages in India.

463
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,036
But Urdu is the most noble.

464
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,557
In Hindi,

465
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,798
you write like this.

466
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,873
But in Urdu,
you write like this.

467
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,629
"I am the Queen."

468
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:44,910
I see.

469
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,796
He's teaching her Hindu.

470
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,153
Is that allowed?

471
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,757
I think you will
find it is Urdu.

472
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:14,550
The Muslim version.

473
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,319
Oh, my goodness me!

474
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:20,676
That's it.

475
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:22,993
You are the Queen.

476
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,714
The Queen is very wise.

477
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,115
You see?

478
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,556
Now, you write it down.

479
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,916
She's writing in her journal.

480
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,073
And she's speaking
in Hindustani.

481
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,439
No, it's Urdu, actually.

482
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,553
The Muslim version.

483
00:34:23,240 --> 00:34:26,074
Knee. Knee. Knee.

484
00:34:33,240 --> 00:34:34,390
Yes! Yes!

485
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:45,556
Thank you, Abdul.

486
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,999
You are an excellent teacher.

487
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:53,710
Bertie!

488
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:54,836
Mother!

489
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,150
Were you spying on me?

490
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:57,555
Were you learning Urdu?

491
00:34:57,720 --> 00:34:58,790
Yes, I was, as a matter of fact.

492
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,077
You think that's
entirely appropriate?

493
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,510
Well, I'm Empress of India.
What could be more appropriate?

494
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,354
But in front of
the entire Household?

495
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,632
You're absolutely right.

496
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,672
I have no privacy here.

497
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:14,834
Sir Henry,

498
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,999
I would like to go with Abdul
to Glassalt Shiel.

499
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,237
Glassalt Shiel?
Alone.

500
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:26,871
But I've only just got here!

501
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:24,074
Oh, to be by oneself and live
a simple, rudimentary existence.

502
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,871
They don't understand anything,

503
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:32,960
those stupid aristocratic fools.

504
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,238
Toadying around.
Jockeying for position.

505
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,438
I've had it all my life.

506
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,237
They couldn't bear me
bringing dear John Brown here.

507
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,595
Yet I was happier here than
anywhere in the entire world.

508
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,592
Oh, I miss him, Abdul.

509
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,432
And Albert.

510
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,200
It's 30 years now,
and I think of him every day.

511
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,518
I'm so lonely.

512
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:19,280
Everyone I've really loved has
died, and I just go on and on.

513
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:30,990
Your Majesty.

514
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,676
It's an impossible position.

515
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,512
No one really knows what
it's like to be Queen.

516
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,836
I'm hated by millions of
people all over the world.

517
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:57,039
I have had nine children,
all vain and jealous,

518
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,034
and at loggerheads
with each other.

519
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:03,633
And Bertie's
a complete embarrassment.

520
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,355
And look at me!

521
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:11,714
A fat, lame, impotent,
silly old woman.

522
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,035
What is the point, Abdul?

523
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,036
What is the point?

524
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:24,716
Service.

525
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:27,230
Service?

526
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:31,392
I think we are not here
to worry about ourselves.

527
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,233
We are here for
a greater purpose.

528
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:38,552
In the Koran it says, "We are
here for the good of others."

529
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:39,710
The Koran?

530
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,912
Yes, I am a Hafiz.
I know the Koran by heart.

531
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,912
By heart?
Isn't it very long?

532
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:49,359
114 surahs,
containing 6,236 verses.

533
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:50,874
And you know every word?

534
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,117
Many Muslim people
know the Koran.

535
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:56,394
I thought you were Hindu.

536
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,918
I am a Muslim, Your Majesty.

537
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,120
I learnt the Koran
from my father.

538
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:02,919
He's my munshi.

539
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:04,916
Munshi?

540
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,437
Yes. Munshi.
My teacher.

541
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,278
Well, we would like you
to be the Queen's munshi.

542
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,274
But I'm only a servant,
Your Majesty.

543
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,112
A servant cannot be a munshi.

544
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,432
Well, you are
a servant no longer.

545
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:31,999
You are my teacher.

546
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,311
You will teach me Urdu,
and the Koran,

547
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,074
and anything else
you can think of.

548
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,150
So...

549
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,154
What the hell is a munshi?

550
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,875
Well, apparently it's some
sort of a spiritual teacher,

551
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,280
Your Royal Highness.

552
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,113
Has she completely
lost her mind?

553
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,596
She's the head of the Church
of England, for God's sake.

554
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,911
What's the Archbishop
of Canterbury going to say?

555
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,516
I say he's the "brown"
John Brown.

556
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,115
Oh, my God!

557
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,429
Your Majesty.

558
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:05,754
Good evening, Bertie.

559
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,474
Mother.

560
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,000
Dinner is served!

561
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:18,316
Lady Churchill

562
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,319
was absolutely scandalized
sitting next to a servant.

563
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:22,874
And a Hindu to boot!

564
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:28,035
The Munshi is a Muslim scholar
and knows the Koran off by heart.

565
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,989
And for your information,
he's a servant no longer.

566
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,839
He's to be given
a staff of his own.

567
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,798
What do you mean, "a staff"?

568
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:37,840
The little fat one.

569
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,480
Oh, this is absurd!

570
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,154
Letters,
invitations to supper...

571
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:42,993
You're treating him
like a member of the family.

572
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,675
No, I like Abdul.

573
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,554
Lady Churchill had
better get used to the fact

574
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:51,519
as the Munshi is
coming on holiday with us.

575
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,876
As a member of the Household.

576
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,192
You can't take
a Muslim to Florence.

577
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,712
I can take a Muslim
wherever I like.

578
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:02,750
Good night, Bertie.

579
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,200
Munshi?

580
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:08,835
Yes.

581
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:10,918
A spiritual advisor?

582
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,434
You haven't
an idea in your head!

583
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:13,880
You promised to
get us out of here,

584
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,400
and now we're going
to bloody Florence.

585
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,871
You don't see what a privilege
it is to see the glories of Italy

586
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,355
with all these wonderful people.

587
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,034
You complete bloody idiot!

588
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,669
Do you think they're just going to
stand there and let her promote a wog?

589
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,514
I did not come here
to carry your bloody cases.

590
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,353
What are you complaining about?

591
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,594
We have our own carriage
with a bathroom.

592
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,759
They've made a very nice bed
for you on the floor.

593
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,072
Oh, I'm dying here.

594
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:40,760
I want to go home.

595
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,919
I'm getting sick of
your negative attitude.

596
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,910
Life is a big adventure.

597
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,554
You just need to
open up and enjoy it.

598
00:41:51,240 --> 00:41:52,435
We're on holiday.

599
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,071
And what? What on Earth
can possibly go wrong?

600
00:41:57,240 --> 00:41:58,799
"Do not pull."

601
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:10,429
I would like to apologize for the
emergency brakes, Your Majesty.

602
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:12,552
And I hope you
did not get injured.

603
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:13,950
Oh, Abdul!

604
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,600
It was nothing.

605
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,678
It was a perfectly
understandable mistake.

606
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,312
I'm so glad you're with us.

607
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,636
What a treat to show you
Florence. What's he doing here?

608
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:26,953
Abdul came to explain
what happened earlier.

609
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,589
I really don't see why I have
to share your bathroom.

610
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,070
I shared a bed with my mother
until I became Queen.

611
00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:33,833
I am 57 years old.

612
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,798
The Munshi has got
his own bathroom.

613
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,235
Yes, very fine bathroom.

614
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:38,635
Yes, yes!

615
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,480
Good night, Mama.

616
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:41,790
Good night, Mr. Bertie.

617
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:43,595
Bertie, make sure
you shut that door.

618
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:51,634
Abdul,

619
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,313
I have something for you.

620
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,831
To celebrate your first visit to
Florence and for becoming my munshi.

621
00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:05,154
It is a locket.

622
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,159
With a picture of me.

623
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,157
How can I ever thank you,
Your Majesty?

624
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,352
Keep me safe.

625
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:25,480
Forever.

626
00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:28,516
Oh, Abdul.

627
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,035
You will love Florence.

628
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,520
Such wonderful views.

629
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,039
Isn't it glorious?

630
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,157
Albert loved it here.

631
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,191
He so admired the Medicis,

632
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,396
that they commissioned the
greatest artists of the day

633
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,713
in order to leave something
astonishing behind.

634
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,557
In India also,
we commission great artists.

635
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,673
Each emperor would bring
the greatest craftsmen

636
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,719
to make great glories
for their durbar room.

637
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,712
Durbar room?
Yes.

638
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,236
Every emperor had a durbar room,

639
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,710
full of the finest
things known to man.

640
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,913
Well, I'm the Empress of India,
I should have a durbar room.

641
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,072
That's a wonderful idea,
Your Majesty.

642
00:44:21,240 --> 00:44:23,232
But where would you put it?

643
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:25,913
Oh, the Isle of Wight,
obviously.

644
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,912
Your Majesty,

645
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:29,793
Signor Puccini has arrived.

646
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:10,790
Oh!

647
00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:13,675
Where did you say it
was from, Mr. Puccini?

648
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,480
From my new opera, Your Majesty,

649
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:17,994
Manon Lescaut.

650
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:24,510
About two lovers who are
separated by the class divide.

651
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,671
But they run away together.

652
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,274
Oh, it sounds marvelous!

653
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,791
But she is imprisoned
for her love.

654
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:33,396
Oh...

655
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,039
But they escape.

656
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:36,190
Bravo!

657
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,636
But finally she dies,

658
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:43,153
and he is utterly bereft.

659
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,154
I'm not sure we do like
the sound of it after all.

660
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,796
We prefer comic opera.

661
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,640
Do you know any
Gilbert and Sullivan?

662
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,000
Perhaps Your Majesty
will sing us a song?

663
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,039
Please? Oh, no, I couldn't possibly.

664
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,954
Of course, of course,
yes, Your Majesty!

665
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,156
No, really.

666
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:06,356
Yes, Your Majesty.

667
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,159
Oh, well.

668
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,159
Maybe just one.

669
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:15,036
From Pinafore, Bertie?

670
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,157

To the Queen!

682
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:03,872
To the Queen!

683
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:05,390
To me!

684
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,080
We shouldn't have had
so much champagne.

685
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:27,280
May I?

686
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,434
Oh, Abdul!

687
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,636
I haven't been as happy
as this for years.

688
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:50,233
When I first came to England,

689
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,679
I was terrified of you.

690
00:47:54,240 --> 00:47:56,596
But you're a very kind lady.

691
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,276
You're a very unique lady to me.

692
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,959
And you are very,
very unique to me, Abdul.

693
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,796
I know that you are
much older than me,

694
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,116
and

695
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:14,799
you are the Queen of England,

696
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,030
and the Empress of India,

697
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,159
and I'm just a humble munshi.

698
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,515
But I think

699
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,360
you are the most special
person in my whole life.

700
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,995
Even more special than my wife.

701
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:38,714
Wife?

702
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:40,670
Yes.

703
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:43,800
You're married?

704
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:47,670
Of course.

705
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,399
Where is your wife?

706
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:53,356
In India.

707
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,512
Why didn't you tell me
you were married?

708
00:48:58,240 --> 00:48:59,879
I didn't think it mattered.

709
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:01,878
Well, of course it matters.

710
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:03,400
It changes everything.

711
00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:06,871
You must return to
India immediately.

712
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,039
And bring her back at once.

713
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,556
Bloody hell.

714
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:49,760
He's coming!

715
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,233
How terribly exciting.

716
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:36,840
It's Ali Baba!

717
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,229
Look at the size of him.

718
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,153
Where'd he get those medals?

719
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,117
What the devil is she wearing?

720
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:57,515
You can't even see her face.

721
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,472
She looks rather splendid.

722
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,314
But you cannot actually
see her, Your Majesty.

723
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:07,675
I think it's rather dignified.

724
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,480
Who the hell is that?

725
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,154
Get the bags, boy.

726
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,113
He's brought a serving boy.

727
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:21,831
Good God, another one!
How many has he got in there?

728
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,351
Ruddy sod's a bigamist.

729
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:31,474
I do hope they like their
little cottage.

730
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:36,550
Your Majesty.

731
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,518
I hope it's not inconvenient.

732
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,797
I just thought
we'd pop round for tea.

733
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,830
This is my granddaughter,
Sophia, Queen of Greece.

734
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,920
And this is Grand Duchess
Sophie of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach.

735
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:56,514
And my daughter,

736
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,672
Princess Helena Augusta Victoria

737
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:02,191
of Schleswig-Holstein-
Sonderburg-Augustenburg.

738
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,238
This is my wife,
Mrs. Karim.

739
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:05,880
And this is my
mother-in-law.

740
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,358
Your Majesty,
Sophia, Queen of Greece,

741
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,758
Grand Duchess Sophie
of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach,

742
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,389
Princess Helena Augusta Victoria

743
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:19,759
of Schleswig-Holstein-
Sonderburg-Augustenburg,

744
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:25,239
I would like to take this
opportunity on behalf of myself,

745
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,438
my wife, and my wife's mother

746
00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:31,235
to thank Her Majesty
for accommodating us.

747
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,757
We are very grateful
for her infinite kindness

748
00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:37,550
and interior decoration.

749
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:42,397
The gift of hospitality
and friendship to strangers

750
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,314
is of very high importance
in our culture.

751
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:49,315
And so we are honored to
repay it in our own small way.

752
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,071
What is ours is yours.

753
00:52:52,240 --> 00:52:53,594
Quite literally.

754
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:55,155
Alhamdulilah.

755
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,078
My dear Munshi,

756
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:01,592
we are so glad to have
you here, my children.

757
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,752
We have missed you enormously.

758
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,880
I can't wait to show
you the Durbar Room.

759
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:08,595
Children?

760
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,156
Ponsonby, you will have to do
something about this.

761
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,835
My dear Munshi,
I'm so glad you're back.

762
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,670
It's been dreadfully
dull without you.

763
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,955
And I'm so glad
to meet Mrs. Karim.

764
00:53:23,240 --> 00:53:27,234
There is just one thing I've been
curious about the whole afternoon.

765
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,237
What does she look like
behind her veil?

766
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:32,030
You must see her.

767
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:33,395
Is that allowed?

768
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,918
You're a lady.
And the Empress of India.

769
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:38,070
Oh...

770
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,437
Well, where the bloody
hell's she going now?

771
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:49,639
Your Majesty.

772
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:18,310
Oh...

773
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,591
You really are beautiful.

774
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,752
What on Earth is a durbar room?

775
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,514
It's a celebration of all
things Indian, Prime Minister,

776
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,320
inspired by the Mughal emperors.

777
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:32,914
But I don't understand.

778
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,430
Who gave her permission to
build this in the first place?

779
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,320
Don't blame me,
I was in Monte Carlo.

780
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,517
I'm afraid she's a law
unto herself, Prime Minister.

781
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,434
For God's sake! She'll
be wearing a burqa next.

782
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,595
Prime Minister, you are late.

783
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,269
I'm terribly sorry,
Your Majesty.

784
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,033
Well, let us begin.

785
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:55,194
This, as you can see,
is the Indian corridor.

786
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:01,200
The Durbar Room was designed
by Mr. Bhai Ram Singh.

787
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:04,952
The place is crawling with them.

788
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,716
We have commissioned a series
of portraits of eminent Indians.

789
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:10,030
This...

790
00:55:10,240 --> 00:55:12,391
Princess Gowramma.

791
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,552
And this of course,

792
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:16,393
is the Munshi.

793
00:55:17,720 --> 00:55:19,552
An honor to meet you,
Mr. Prime Minister, sir.

794
00:55:19,720 --> 00:55:21,552
A good likeness,
don't you think?

795
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,913
I asked him to
take a few pounds off.

796
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,756
This is my wife,
Mr. Prime Minister, sir.

797
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,560
And that is my mother-in-law.

798
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,400
At least I think
that's the right way round.

799
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,000
These are my servants,

800
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:40,992
Mohammed and Ahmed.

801
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,153
And this is the Durbar Room.

802
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,073
What the hell is
going on here, Ponsonby?

803
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,070
The carvings are
from Uttar Pradesh.

804
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,954
And the carpet was
woven in a jail in Agra.

805
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,430
Perfect, I think,
for the tableau.

806
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,397
But the pièce de résistance

807
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:10,280
is the Peacock Throne.

808
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,274
An exact copy
of the one at Agra.

809
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,120
And, of course, the Koh-i-noor.

810
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,235
Now I really do feel
like the Empress of India.

811
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,796
I thought she was
supposed to be dying.

812
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,431
It really is a remarkable addition
to the house, Your Majesty.

813
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,035
We have Abdul to
thank for the whole idea.

814
00:56:31,240 --> 00:56:33,630
To celebrate the completion
of the Durbar Room,

815
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,792
a little surprise, Your Majesty.

816
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:39,760
What is it?

817
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,311
A mango, Your Majesty.

818
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:45,632
One moment, Your Majesty.

819
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:51,630
Uh...

820
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,480
It's off.

821
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:58,240
Sir Henry.

822
00:56:58,400 --> 00:56:59,993
This mango is off.

823
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,350
I'm terribly sorry,
Your Majesty.

824
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,479
Take one of these
whenever you see the Munshi.

825
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,958
I can't wait to
show you the tableau, Prime Minister.

826
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,512
A line has definitively
been crossed.

827
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,751
I can't go on stage like this.

828
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:28,519
I'm absolutely sick.

829
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:29,830
But you have to.

830
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:31,434
The Prime Minister
will be watching.

831
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,160
This is a complete
and utter disaster.

832
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:37,110
I don't know what
you're talking about.

833
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:38,350
They've been waiting for this.

834
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:39,430
Who? Who have?

835
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:41,711
Ponsonby, Reid,
the whole damn lot.

836
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:43,633
Don't you see? She's been
rubbing their noses in it,

837
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:44,915
but now it's going public.

838
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,390
I'm telling you, they're
not going to stand for it.

839
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:49,472
They'll rise up and chop
your bloody balls off.

840
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:50,710
I haven't done anything.

841
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:51,876
You stupid bloody Uncle Tom.

842
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:53,719
You can't win on their terms.

843
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,033
Mrs. Munshi.

844
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:03,514
Bertie.

845
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:11,230
I've never been so humiliated
in my entire life.

846
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,313
Actually,
I'm rather enjoying it.

847
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:16,752
Beginners on stage, please.

848
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,232
A scene in Ancient Persia.

849
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:30,754
I am the Sultan of Persia.

850
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,833
The King of all Kings.

851
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,114
Your Highness!

852
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:56,435
We bestow upon you all
the riches of the Orient.

853
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,235
You are now under my power!

854
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,950
Bravo, bravo, the Munshi!

855
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:41,077
What the hell is this,
Ponsonby? Munshi-mania?

856
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,311
I'm trying to keep
an empire together,

857
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,392
looks like they're
running the place.

858
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,992
I want this whole sodding mess
knocked on the head.

859
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:50,640
Or you're finished.

860
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,154
Understood?

861
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:02,759
Oh, Sir Henry.

862
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,789
Tell us what exactly did the Prime
Minister say about the tableau?

863
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,158
To be entirely frank,
Your Majesty,

864
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,437
he seemed to be
a little perturbed.

865
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:14,954
Whatever for?

866
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:16,520
He must have liked the Munshi.

867
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,434
I think the Munshi was
the problem, Your Majesty.

868
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:21,512
Really? I thought
he was rather good.

869
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:23,951
I think he meant his position,
I think he was rather alarmed

870
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:27,875
he had such a prominent role
in the Household.

871
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,191
Of course Abdul has
a prominent role in the Household.

872
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:31,796
He is my munshi.

873
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,031
But he's an Indian,
Your Majesty.

874
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:35,949
I am aware of that.

875
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,553
Given current sensitivities in
the subcontinent, Your Majesty,

876
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,713
the Prime Minister was
concerned that it might be

877
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,315
sending the wrong message.

878
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,794
I should have thought
it was a jolly good message.

879
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:50,394
But he's a Muslim, Your Majesty.

880
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,153
Precisely.

881
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:54,672
We owe them so much, do we not?

882
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,916
For their role in the Mutiny,
for example.

883
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,034
The Mutiny, Your Majesty?

884
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,159
Yes, for the help they gave us
with the Hindus.

885
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:12,071
But the Mutiny was a
Muslim-led revolt, Your Majesty.

886
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,034
Are you sure?

887
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:18,600
Of course.

888
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:20,877
The Muslim soldiers revolted

889
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:25,034
when it was rumored that their
rifles were greased with pork fat.

890
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:29,594
Really?

891
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,510
The Grand Mufti, himself,

892
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:36,196
put out a fatwa against you
personally, Your Majesty.

893
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:41,674
And Muslim soldiers murdered over
two thousand British personnel.

894
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,557
Who have you been
talking to, Mother?

895
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:52,630
Ta-da!

896
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:57,951
I have opened my heart to you.

897
01:01:58,120 --> 01:01:59,952
I brought your
family from India.

898
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,794
I promoted you in the face
of considerable opposition

899
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:05,230
and disquiet from the Household.

900
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:06,954
I even turned a blind eye

901
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,436
when you failed to tell me
that you were married,

902
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,479
which, as you know,
came as quite a surprise.

903
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:14,518
How could you let me
humiliate myself

904
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:16,597
in front of
the entire Household?

905
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:18,393
I am deeply sorry, Your Majesty.

906
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:22,634
You said the
Hindus were behind the Mutiny.

907
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:24,320
I didn't say
it was only the Hindus.

908
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,949
You told me
categorically the Muslims were my friends.

909
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:28,315
We are your friends, Your...

910
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:30,392
Abdul,
there is a fatwa against me.

911
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,956
It was the Muslims
who started the whole thing.

912
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,510
This is completely unacceptable.

913
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:42,992
Abdul, I thought you were
outstanding as the Sultan of Persia,

914
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,436
but I'm afraid
you have to go home.

915
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,910
Hallelujah!

916
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:57,319
You've hurt my feelings
very much indeed.

917
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,192
Don't you see the position
you have put me in?

918
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,194
Thank you for everything
you've done for me.

919
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,038
I will miss you
a very great deal.

920
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:41,031
So, we're going home?

921
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:11,353
Good night, Mother.

922
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:13,874
Good night.

923
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:29,510
Mrs. Tuck?

924
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:31,510
Mrs. Tuck.

925
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:46,115
Abdul.

926
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:48,760
You've been an utter fool.

927
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,475
And I'm absolutely
furious with you.

928
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:54,716
It is unconscionable
that as my munshi

929
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:57,190
you should have
lied to me in any way.

930
01:05:58,000 --> 01:05:58,990
But...

931
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:02,551
It would be also
completely churlish of me

932
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:06,557
not to recognize
the considerable kindness

933
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:08,518
and devotion you have shown.

934
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:15,031
I suppose in some way you
thought you were protecting me.

935
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:20,880
But as the monarch I realize that
nothing can really protect me.

936
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,710
And so, in that light,
I have decided,

937
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,032
although I'm very disappointed,

938
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:31,190
that I want you to stay.

939
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:38,075
Your gracious Majesty.
Thank you, Your Majesty.

940
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:42,029
Abdul, there is something
we must sort out.

941
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:47,597
I am deeply concerned
about Mrs. Karim.

942
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:49,670
Mrs. Karim?

943
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,430
By now, one would have expected

944
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:57,276
to hear the pitter-patter
of little Muslim feet

945
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,909
along the corridors
of Osborne House.

946
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:05,114
I am concerned
that everything is

947
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:08,953
functioning below stairs.

948
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:15,238
I want you to examine
Mrs. Karim.

949
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:17,600
Examine Mrs. Karim?

950
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:18,790
Mm.

951
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:23,752
Just, um, make sure that
everything's working.

952
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:26,236
But, Your Majesty,

953
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,279
I thought the Munshi and
his family were leaving us.

954
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,279
Whatever gave you
that impression?

955
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,317
The Munshi and his family are
integral parts of the Royal Household.

956
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:40,876
As far as I'm concerned,

957
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:42,030
this is war.

958
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:43,640
We're going to dig
up every last bit

959
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:45,314
of dirt this
blackguard's ever done.

960
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,154
I want someone in India raking
through the family coals.

961
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:50,152
Your son's out there,
isn't he, Ponsonby?

962
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:51,879
I couldn't possibly be involved

963
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:53,559
in subterfuge,
Your Royal Highness.

964
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:56,630
Look, very soon
I am going to be King.

965
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,560
You will bloody well do
as you're told!

966
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:02,154
You'll leave no stone unturned.

967
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:04,840
You will make a dossier, and you
put it all down in black and white.

968
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,276
And put an end to all this shit!

969
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:09,759
For good.

970
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:20,199
Well, I'd better go
and examine Mrs. Munshi.

971
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:23,475
Dr. Reid.

972
01:08:24,440 --> 01:08:25,669
Do come in.

973
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:29,275
She'll have to uncover her face.

974
01:08:29,440 --> 01:08:31,591
That is impossible, sir.

975
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:33,877
I need to see her tongue.

976
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:44,030
Well?

977
01:08:44,440 --> 01:08:45,590
She's fine.

978
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:57,395
Mr. Mohammed.

979
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:02,396
We have come here because we are
not unaware of your predicament.

980
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:05,394
That you arrived in the first
place almost by accident,

981
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:07,711
and now find yourself stuck here

982
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:11,669
through a bizarre set of
circumstances, none of your own making.

983
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,558
Nor is it beneath our notice

984
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:17,393
that the inclement
English weather

985
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:19,233
has been the cause
of a precipitous decline

986
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:21,392
in your general health.

987
01:09:22,480 --> 01:09:24,233
What is more,

988
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:28,757
you continue to suffer
the vast indignity

989
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:33,392
of being a servant to someone
who is in many ways your inferior.

990
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:35,831
So, it occurred to us that, um,

991
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:40,074
we might be able to
offer you some help.

992
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:44,676
Help?

993
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:46,069
Travel home.

994
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:48,272
Perhaps a modest pension.

995
01:09:48,440 --> 01:09:50,716
In return, of course, for, um...

996
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:53,956
A little information.

997
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,072
You want me to

998
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:05,234
dish the dirty?

999
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:08,279
In a manner of speaking.

1000
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:16,192
What would you like me to say?

1001
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:18,033
Anything, really.

1002
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:20,912
Well, we need details.

1003
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:23,269
What he says.

1004
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:25,633
What he does.

1005
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:36,000
Abdul does what
everyone else does.

1006
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:37,310
He, uh...

1007
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:41,595
He looks for preferment.

1008
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:44,952
He curries favor.

1009
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:57,159
He crawls up
the stinking greasy pole

1010
01:10:58,440 --> 01:11:00,352
of the shitty British Empire.

1011
01:11:03,440 --> 01:11:08,469
Making fools of all of you,
because he is a servant.

1012
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:12,272
An Indian Muslim servant,

1013
01:11:12,440 --> 01:11:15,035
and you are all
quaking in your boots

1014
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:18,830
because he's beating you
at your own game.

1015
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:22,158
No one is quaking
in their boots.

1016
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,994
We are the most
powerful nation on Earth.

1017
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:26,879
At the height of our influence.

1018
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:29,032
In that case,

1019
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,716
the only way is down.

1020
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:36,669
So stick your
stupid British Empire

1021
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:42,156
up your stinky royal bottom
hole, Mr. Bertie Prince, sir.

1022
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,798
I hope he makes the whole
damn thing come tumbling down.

1023
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:05,675
I will see to it
that you die here.

1024
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:14,710
He didn't say anything.

1025
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,156
What do you mean,
"He didn't say anything"?

1026
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:18,754
We did our best with him,

1027
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:20,673
but he spoke most intemperately.

1028
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:22,559
The man is an absolute shit.

1029
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:24,200
Dr. Reid.

1030
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:27,399
I'm not a fool.

1031
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:29,279
I know there is some
skullduggery afoot.

1032
01:12:29,440 --> 01:12:32,353
Something's going on here, and
I'm not going to stand for it.

1033
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:34,000
Dr. Reid,

1034
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:35,919
I asked you to get to the bottom

1035
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:37,753
of Mrs. Karim's
fertility issues.

1036
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:39,593
It seems that
nothing has been done.

1037
01:12:40,440 --> 01:12:42,272
Well, actually, Your Majesty,

1038
01:12:42,440 --> 01:12:46,275
it was impossible to make
a conclusive judgment

1039
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:48,435
for religious reasons.

1040
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:49,954
Did you examine the Munshi?

1041
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:52,156
No, Your Majesty.

1042
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:53,396
Well, examine the Munshi.

1043
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:54,920
Bertie.

1044
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:03,869
I did not do seven years
at Edinburgh University

1045
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:06,191
to look at Indian dicks!

1046
01:13:10,480 --> 01:13:11,914
Trousers.

1047
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:38,238
Eureka!
He is riddled with the clap!

1048
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:42,319
Well, well.

1049
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:44,992
Mother, we have to see you.

1050
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:47,240
Alone.

1051
01:13:47,440 --> 01:13:49,432
I'm in the middle
of my Urdu lesson.

1052
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:54,911
Mother, we come with very important
news of a highly personal matter.

1053
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:56,594
I've nothing to hide from Abdul.

1054
01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:58,638
Please, Your Majesty.

1055
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:15,155
Your Majesty...

1056
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:19,715
I'm afraid our news
concerns the Munshi.

1057
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:24,031
We have proof beyond any doubt
that Abdul Karim

1058
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:29,673
is a low-born impostor,

1059
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:32,357
Your Majesty.

1060
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:39,672
The Munshi is from a noble family
and a long line of teachers.

1061
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:43,356
No, I'm afraid he was a
mere clerk in a common jail.

1062
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:48,236
My own son has sent word from
India and has actually spoken

1063
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,551
to his immediate superior.

1064
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:54,870
His family are
completely uneducated.

1065
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:58,238
His father is
a lowly apothecary.

1066
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,519
The Munshi never even
went to school, Mother.

1067
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:03,719
The man's a complete fraud.

1068
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:05,917
And here he is,
overlooking the boxes.

1069
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,437
I'm afraid
it's true, Your Majesty.

1070
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:11,919
Abdul and his father
are completely common.

1071
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:17,072
We have prepared a dossier.

1072
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:19,431
You despicable toads!

1073
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:22,434
Racialists!

1074
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:24,398
Spying? Dossier?

1075
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:26,552
Picking on a poor
defenseless Indian?

1076
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:28,439
Of course he doesn't
have qualifications.

1077
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:31,752
They do things completely
differently out there.

1078
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:33,030
Don't you see, Mama?

1079
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:36,079
He's using his position
for his own gain.

1080
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,871
And how does that make him
any different from any of you?

1081
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:43,951
How dare you look down on Abdul?

1082
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:46,951
How dare you defame
his poor father?

1083
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:49,954
Bertie, I'm ashamed
that you're part of all this.

1084
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:53,953
Abdul is a loyal, wise,
sympathetic human being,

1085
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:56,717
who has raised himself
on his own merits.

1086
01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:59,272
Bring Abdul in here.

1087
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:02,599
Bring him in!

1088
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:08,239
Now, I want you
to repeat after me,

1089
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:10,073
"I will be courteous
to the Munshi."

1090
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,993
I will be courteous
to the Munshi.

1091
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:24,110
You.

1092
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:28,073
I will be courteous
to the Munshi.

1093
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:29,920
Bertie. All of you.

1094
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:33,471
"I will be courteous
to the Munshi."

1095
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,912
I will be courteous
to the Munshi.

1096
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:39,992
It has become apparent

1097
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:43,432
that in order to get any
respect from the Household,

1098
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:45,273
one needs to be
formally recognized.

1099
01:16:47,440 --> 01:16:48,794
In which case, Abdul.

1100
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:53,954
I intend to give you a knighthood
in the next honors list.

1101
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:56,510
Enough! This is absurd!

1102
01:16:57,360 --> 01:16:59,192
We cannot protect you
from this any further.

1103
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:01,158
The man is riddled
with gonorrhea!

1104
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:05,916
Gonorrhea?

1105
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:09,679
Yes. Your Majesty.

1106
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:19,396
Well, you are a doctor.
Why don't you treat him?

1107
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:21,836
Now get out of my sight,
all of you!

1108
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:32,552
Listen, you pox-ridden
Indian shit!

1109
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,554
Why don't you bloody well leave
her alone? Dr. Reid! Dr. Reid!

1110
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,155
Be courteous!

1111
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:49,196
Knighted?

1112
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:51,991
Surely there is
some law against it.

1113
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:53,913
The man's a common Indian,
for God's sakes.

1114
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:55,673
Well, she can't
just do what she likes.

1115
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:56,910
That's right.

1116
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,197
We are the ones who
make this palace work,

1117
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,153
and we are being ignored

1118
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:02,350
and exploited.
Yes.

1119
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:05,274
We have to stand up
to this wanton bullying.

1120
01:18:05,440 --> 01:18:07,193
But she's the Queen.

1121
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:09,279
She's our sovereign.

1122
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:13,912
Her position is based entirely on the
implicit contract she makes with us.

1123
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:17,712
If she does not drop
this preposterous insult,

1124
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:19,912
we should all leave!

1125
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:21,560
Yes.

1126
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:25,352
Somebody has to tell her.

1127
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:29,637
We should make a deputation.

1128
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:32,789
I think you should go.

1129
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:34,872
You're the head
of the Household.

1130
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:36,713
Oh, no, I couldn't possibly go.

1131
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:38,792
It would bring
the position into disrepute.

1132
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:41,395
Mrs. Tuck.

1133
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:44,958
You know her very well,
don't you?

1134
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:47,277
But I'm just her dresser.

1135
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:48,789
What about you, Miss Phipps?

1136
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:56,314
Off you go.

1137
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,314
And don't take
"no" for an answer.

1138
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:24,680
Your Majesty.

1139
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:27,150
Out with it.

1140
01:19:27,440 --> 01:19:29,193
Girl, can't you see, I'm busy.

1141
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:33,992
There is something
I must say that...

1142
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,669
What is the meaning of this?
Stop shaking!

1143
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:44,316
I have come to ask
you to reconsider the...

1144
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:47,999
The elevation of...

1145
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:50,520
Of Mr. Karim.

1146
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:54,030
What did you say?

1147
01:19:57,040 --> 01:20:00,829
I've come to ask you not to give
Mr. Karim a knighthood, Your Majesty.

1148
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:04,633
Why the devil not?

1149
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,716
The members of
the Household demand

1150
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:10,873
that you abandon your plans,
Your Majesty.

1151
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:13,353
Demand?

1152
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:18,871
We believe that it degrades
the very concept of knighthood.

1153
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:23,514
He comes from a very
low family, Your Majesty.

1154
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:25,549
And

1155
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,073
he is colored.

1156
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:30,559
Get out of my sight.

1157
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:37,356
Did you not hear me?

1158
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:41,594
Your Majesty, I must inform
you that if you refuse,

1159
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:44,753
the entire Household
will resign.

1160
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:47,434
Treason!

1161
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:49,915
Treason!

1162
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:56,433
Treason.

1163
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:24,951
Mummy, enough is enough.

1164
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:31,715
You will drop this Munshi
business forthwith.

1165
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:33,633
Do you hear me?

1166
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:38,159
Did you really
think the Household

1167
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:39,879
would countenance
such an insult?

1168
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:41,753
I will not be disobeyed.

1169
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:43,274
No. No.

1170
01:21:43,440 --> 01:21:46,751
I have put up with
you for over 50 years!

1171
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,395
You will drop
this forthwith or...

1172
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:50,630
Or, or, or, or, Bertie?

1173
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:51,910
Or

1174
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:56,393
We will have you
certified insane!

1175
01:21:58,480 --> 01:22:01,791
And removed from
office immediately.

1176
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,957
Here are the papers
signed by Dr. Reid.

1177
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:28,193
I am 81 years of age.

1178
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:33,353
I've had nine children,
and 42 grandchildren,

1179
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:36,513
and have almost
a billion citizens.

1180
01:22:39,440 --> 01:22:41,193
I have rheumatism,

1181
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:43,433
a collapsed uterus.

1182
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:45,632
I'm morbidly obese

1183
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,509
and deaf in one ear.

1184
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:54,399
I have known
eleven Prime Ministers

1185
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:59,396
and passed 2,347
pieces of legislation.

1186
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:05,349
I've been in office
62 years, 234 days.

1187
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:08,917
Thus, I am the longest-serving
monarch in world history.

1188
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:15,236
I'm responsible
for five households

1189
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:18,509
and a staff of over 3,000.

1190
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:23,672
I am cantankerous,

1191
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:27,311
boring, greedy,

1192
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:30,240
fat, ill-tempered,

1193
01:23:30,440 --> 01:23:35,276
at times selfish and myopic,
both metaphorically and literally.

1194
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:41,755
I am perhaps disagreeably
attached to power

1195
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:47,279
and should not have smashed
the Emperor of Russia's egg.

1196
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:53,394
But I am anything but insane.

1197
01:23:57,040 --> 01:24:00,272
If the Household wish
to disobey me, so be it.

1198
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:03,755
Let them do it to my face.

1199
01:24:04,440 --> 01:24:07,558
I will see everyone
in the Durbar Room at once.

1200
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:33,712
Her Majesty the Queen.

1201
01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:49,397
I understand
there is some concern

1202
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:52,115
over my desires on preferment.

1203
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:56,520
I understand feelings
have run high.

1204
01:24:56,840 --> 01:25:00,151
And I understand
you have decided to resign,

1205
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:02,829
rather than
withstand my decision.

1206
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:06,592
If any one of you

1207
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,594
wishes to tender
their resignation,

1208
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:13,195
it will be accepted

1209
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:17,877
without any unfortunate
consequences.

1210
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:25,311
But at least have the decency
to do it to my face!

1211
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:33,557
Anyone wishing to resign,
please step forward.

1212
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,672
I would like to inform you
that I have decided against

1213
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:06,510
awarding any knighthoods
at this moment.

1214
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:15,077
Instead, you'll be
delighted to know

1215
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:17,038
that I have decided

1216
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:20,876
to make the Munshi a Commander
of the Royal Victorian Order

1217
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:25,594
as a special token
of my personal esteem

1218
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:29,117
for his services to the Empire.

1219
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:33,837
That is all.

1220
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:57,552
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!

1221
01:26:57,640 --> 01:26:59,279
Your Majesty, are you all right?

1222
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:05,078
Dr. Reid! Dr. Reid!

1223
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:06,710
Dr. Reid!

1224
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:08,951
Dr. Reid, you must come
quick! No, no, not now.

1225
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:11,629
Dr. Reid!
It's Mr. Mohammed!

1226
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:12,796
Get that boy out of here.

1227
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:13,950
Your Majesty, can you hear me?

1228
01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:15,480
Your Majesty?

1229
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:20,632
All right, let's get you up.

1230
01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:06,030
I'm so sorry, Abdul.

1231
01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:25,557
I think it's time
you went home, Abdul.

1232
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:33,192
This is my home.

1233
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:37,400
I've been
short-sighted and selfish.

1234
01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:41,152
You are a young man.

1235
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:44,155
You have your whole
life ahead of you.

1236
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:45,835
It's not safe here.

1237
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:47,036
Your Majesty.

1238
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:49,760
The vultures are
already circling.

1239
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:53,074
How can I protect you
if I'm not here?

1240
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:55,835
Your Majesty, you will reign
for many years to come.

1241
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:57,070
No, Abdul.

1242
01:28:57,760 --> 01:28:59,399
I'm sick.

1243
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:04,671
All these stupid
ceremonies will kill me.

1244
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:07,991
You have been
a very good friend.

1245
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:10,152
But you must leave me.

1246
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:12,920
I'm your servant.

1247
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:17,912
And as long as I shall live,

1248
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:20,712
I shall be by your side.

1249
01:29:21,440 --> 01:29:23,113
Every single day.

1250
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:24,595
Nothing...

1251
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:26,394
Nothing will stop me.

1252
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:28,597
Abdul, I am your Queen.

1253
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:31,110
Your Majesty, I'm your munshi.

1254
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:32,714
And I will never leave you.

1255
01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:34,792
You are a fool.

1256
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:37,714
But I adore you.

1257
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:22,869
I think you should
inform the Kaiser.

1258
01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:39,758
Abdul... Abdul...

1259
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:41,912
- Abdul...
- It's me, Mummy.

1260
01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:43,992
And your grandson, Wilhelm.

1261
01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:45,879
Where is my munshi?

1262
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:47,076
The Kaiser.

1263
01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:48,230
I need my munshi.

1264
01:31:48,520 --> 01:31:50,512
Hush, hush.
Everything will be all right.

1265
01:31:50,680 --> 01:31:52,672
I want the Munshi.

1266
01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:05,751
Don't you dare upset her.

1267
01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:43,715
I want to talk to
the Munshi alone.

1268
01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:46,640
I think perhaps, Your Majesty...

1269
01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:48,154
I said alone.

1270
01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:12,753
When I was young,

1271
01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:17,639
I used to long for death.

1272
01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:23,280
Now, when there is
nothing to live for,

1273
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:27,432
I cling to life
with every breath.

1274
01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:32,352
I'm scared, Abdul.

1275
01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:35,594
Don't be scared.

1276
01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:44,352
"Listen, little drop,"

1277
01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:47,435
"give yourself up
without regret"

1278
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:51,717
"and in return you
will gain the ocean."

1279
01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:54,990
"Give yourself away"

1280
01:33:55,160 --> 01:33:59,313
"and in the great sea
you will be secure."

1281
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:01,959
Rumi.

1282
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:07,310
You are a teacher, Abdul.

1283
01:34:07,480 --> 01:34:09,870
Ever body knows Rumi.

1284
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:13,515
Allah is the teacher.

1285
01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:20,917
Love is the whole.

1286
01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:24,560
We are only pieces.

1287
01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:43,035
Alhamdulilah.

1288
01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:50,910
I keep thinking I'm falling.

1289
01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:56,760
Fall.

1290
01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:02,920
All will be well.

1291
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:10,876
You are about to go
to a much safer place.

1292
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:18,920
"The Banquet
Hall of Eternity."

1293
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:28,394
Yes.

1294
01:35:35,480 --> 01:35:37,233
Goodbye,

1295
01:35:39,400 --> 01:35:41,073
my Queen.

1296
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:47,832
Goodbye.

1297
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:51,672
Take care,

1298
01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:57,633
my sweet son.

1299
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:12,992
Let her sleep.

1300
01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:24,512
Someone's coming.

1301
01:38:35,440 --> 01:38:37,159
I grieve to say

1302
01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:41,951
Her Majesty passed away
at 6:30 precisely.

1303
01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:45,318
Long live the King.

1304
01:40:30,240 --> 01:40:31,435
Out the way!

1305
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:47,631
I want every last thing
that's connected to her.

1306
01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:51,271
Abdul! Abdul!

1307
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:07,676
I want you out of here.

1308
01:41:10,480 --> 01:41:11,994
Immediately.

1309
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:30,911
Your Majesty!

1310
01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:25,871
Good morning, Your Majesty.

1311
01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:27,952
How are you today?
