00:50:52 I don't understand.
00:50:55 Your Majesty is a big boy, now.
00:50:57 He can't have a wet nurse
00:51:00 It's much better like this.
00:51:03 But she is not my wet nurse.
00:51:07 She is my butterfly.
00:51:22 Ar Mo! Ar Mo!
00:51:34 Ar Mo! Ar Mo!
00:51:41 Ar Mo! Ar Mo!
00:52:55 This is the detention center of
00:53:02 And I am the governor!
00:53:06 During the war, this was a
00:53:10 Many of you may remember it.
00:53:12 Because you worked with the Japanese,
00:53:15 you were responsible for building it and
00:53:24 How could this happen?
00:53:25 Why did you betray your
00:53:28 What turned you into war
00:53:31 We believe that men are
00:53:35 We believe that the only way to change is
00:53:42 That is why you are here.
00:53:45 You will begin by writing the story of
00:53:51 Your salvation will lie entirely
00:53:57 I advise you to be frank and sincere,
00:54:07 You have learned that song
00:54:11 That is a good beginning.
00:54:42 It is snowing.
00:54:50 We must stick to the same story or
00:56:34 After a few years, the tiny republic had
00:56:40 It fell quickly into the hands of ambitions
00:56:45 The era of the warlords had begun.
00:56:52 China was in turmoil.
00:57:47 - China awake.
00:57:51 Did you know they're now selling
00:57:57 Nothing has changed with the republic
00:58:03 - Except for the bicycles.
00:58:06 But what can they do
00:58:08 The shops are closing.
00:58:10 So they are.
00:58:12 Maybe we'll be late after all.
00:58:14 Shall we take a short cut?
00:58:16 - Yes.
01:00:09 Remember you're one of the first foreigners within
01:00:15 It makes me very nervous.
01:00:33 The enemy.
01:00:47 Is there a dagger in my back?
01:00:49 Not yet.
01:00:57 My friend, it is not easy to forgive a foreign

01:01:56 The emperor is honored to
01:01:59 Your tutor is honored to have been chosen,
01:02:16 One more time.
01:02:20 Your Imperial Highness,
01:02:28 How do you do, Mr. Johnston?
01:02:30 How do you do, Your Majesty?
01:02:44 Now we will go to school.
01:02:58 Please begin the lesson.
01:03:00 Your Majesty, in my country, it would be usual
01:03:07 The Emperor can't be
01:03:10 Well, that may have to change.
01:03:13 But first, Your Majesty might
01:03:20 Where are your ancestors
01:03:23 In Scotland, Your Majesty.
01:03:27 But then, where's your skirt?
01:03:30 In your country, men wear short skirts,
01:03:33 No, Your Majesty. Scotsmen do not
01:03:39 Kilts?
01:03:40 Kilts. A matter of words, perhaps,
01:03:46 Why are words important?
01:03:48 If you can't say what you mean, Your
01:03:53 And a gentleman should always
01:03:57 Ah yes, a gentleman.
01:04:03 I would like to be a gentleman,
01:04:11 I'm not a gentleman. I'm not
01:04:15 They are always telling me
01:04:20 Your Majesty is still very
01:04:26 I thought he might like to see some
01:04:30 I have just received
01:04:45 I know that you know that
01:04:49 that is a dialog between
01:04:54 Concerning respect, Your Majesty.
01:05:12 Who is this "George Washington"?
01:05:14 A famous American, Your Majesty.
01:05:16 A revolutionary General.
01:05:20 Ah! Like Mr. Lenin in Russia?
01:05:24 Not quite.
01:05:26 Dose he have a car?
01:05:29 He lived a long time ago, Your Majesty.
01:05:33 I want a car.
01:05:42 I think your mouse is trying to
01:05:51 Please do not tell anyone about
01:06:05 The lesson is finished.
01:06:41 Our official taster's a brave
01:06:44 Many of my ancestors
01:06:52 Does Your Majesty have lunch
01:06:55 Oh, yes! Every day!
01:06:57 I don't know why.
01:07:01 This is my royal food.
01:07:05 Your Majesty!
01:07:11 Snake bow.
01:07:15 Angel's hair.
01:07:20 Garlic spark, steamed turtle,
01:07:28 There's a danger of
01:07:30 That food comes directly
01:07:34 Their taster had already
01:07:36 It always arrives a bit cold.
01:07:54 How do they kill emperors in
01:07:58 The Austrian emperor was shot, was he not?
01:08:01 No, but his nephew was assassinated
01:08:06 But the Russian emperor had
01:08:09 Yes.
01:08:11 He took lots of our land in
01:08:13 I'm a Manchurian. Even after the republic,
01:08:41 The secret, Your Majesty,
01:09:12 Is something the matter, Your Majesty?
00:00:03 Silence, tell them to be quiet.
00:00:05 Silence.
00:00:10 Silence.
00:00:16 What is happening,
00:00:18 - Uh nothing is happening...
00:01:04 On my way here, Your Majesty, we were held up
00:01:10 They were protesting against the
00:01:13 because it has agreed to give
00:01:18 It is true, Mr. Johnston, that many people
00:01:24 It is true, Your Majesty.
00:01:31 It does stop them thinking.
00:01:35 It is time for the Emperor's rest.
00:01:37 The students are right to be
00:01:45 I am angry!
00:01:48 But I am not allowed
00:01:53 I want to go out,
00:01:55 My lord!
00:01:58 I want to see the City of sounds!
00:02:09 The Emperor awards you with
00:02:13 and with the right to be carried in your
00:02:40 The last Emperor died on the same
00:02:44 The night I was brought
00:02:47 When I was three.
00:02:50 The eunuchs think he was murdered
00:02:54 And why?
00:02:55 And who will kill me?
00:03:03 The chair, your excellency.
00:03:13 The traditional gift to eunuch...
00:03:16 Many thanks.
00:03:20 - If it is an official practice...
00:03:23 In which case I would like
00:03:39 Stop!
00:03:45 One, two,
00:03:49 three, four, five...
00:03:54 Emperor extends his apologies.
00:03:55 Please, tell the Emperor
00:03:59 The Emperor was offended.
00:04:20 But even the bicycle was viewed with
00:04:24 My present to the Emperor
00:05:38 Change about!
00:06:21 I hope the Emperor has not forgotten
00:06:35 For Your Majesty!
00:06:37 My doctor says,
00:06:40 Bad for you, nonsense!
00:06:52 How does it work?
00:06:54 Oh, it's simple.
00:06:58 Head up and eyes forward!
00:07:49 My mother is dead, is she not?
00:07:50 Yes, Your Majesty.
00:07:53 I'm profoundly sorry!
00:07:55 I'm not.
00:08:01 She killed herself.
00:08:03 She swallowed the ball of opium.
00:08:06 I'm going to see her, and my brother.
00:10:08 Open the door. Open the door.
00:10:26 Open the door.
00:11:20 Where is it?
00:11:44 Foreign devil and fallen machine.
00:11:54 Trouble! Nothing but trouble!
00:11:58 - Look where you lead him!
00:12:02 The boy's mother is dead,
00:12:06 I want to go home!
00:12:10 I want to go home!
00:12:12 Stop it, stay where you are!
00:12:16 I want to go home!
00:12:18 Stop it, stay where you are!
00:12:21 You fool! Stay there!
00:12:26 Chang!
00:12:28 Hunchback, Bigfoot!
00:13:11 Sir? Give me your hand, sir.
00:13:31 Can you not see?
00:13:48 Look at my left ear, please, sir.
00:13:50 Thank you, and my right.
00:13:58 Would you follow my finger, please, sir.
00:14:13 Just the eyes not the head.
00:14:22 Well it's perfectly simple, Johnston.
00:14:28 Like Harold Lloyd!
00:14:30 Impossible! An Emperor
00:14:35 That can't be allowed!
00:14:37 Times have changed,
00:14:55 If His Majesty doesn't get spectacles,
00:15:03 Now please, could you show me
00:15:10 Your Majesty.
00:15:30 If the Emperor does not get
00:15:35 Unfortunately,
00:15:38 And unfortunately, what I have to say will be
00:15:47 What do you have to say,
00:15:51 The Emperor has been a prisoner
00:15:55 that he was crowned and has remained
00:15:58 But now he's growing up. He may wonder
00:16:02 who may not walk out of
00:16:07 I think the Emperor is the
00:16:13 It would be conveniently sad
00:16:17 Blind, Mr. Johnston?
00:16:21 To the expense, Your Excellency. To the cost of
00:16:28 three hundred and fifty
00:16:30 and one hundred and eight-five
00:16:34 and twenty sable furs a month and
00:16:39 To the fact that eight hundred and forty guards
00:16:44 plus one Lord Chamberlain,
00:16:48 Filling their own rice bowls!
00:16:52 You are very good at accounts,
00:16:55 The Emperor may have abdicated,
00:16:58 but he is still a symbol
00:17:04 If I did not agree with that,
00:17:09 And some of us believe that one day soon,
00:17:16 The spectacles are a detail.
00:17:19 What do you really want,
00:17:22 Just the spectacles.
00:18:22 The Princess Wan Jung, Your Majesty.
00:18:40 Princess Wu Chang,
00:18:45 The princess De Li, Your Majesty.
00:18:54 The Princess Wang-ching.
00:19:09 The Princess Shi-lean.
00:19:18 Who is this?
00:19:20 Princess Wen Hsiu,
00:19:28 She has got a funny face.
00:20:11 Not just one wife. One empress
00:20:14 Two wives?
00:20:15 But who did you choose to be
00:20:18 They chose her!
00:20:19 She's very old, Johnston!
00:20:23 That's not so old, Your Majesty.
00:20:26 Old fashioned!
00:20:28 I want a modern wife, Johnston,
00:20:35 And who can dance the
00:20:53 Johnston!
00:20:57 Sir!
00:20:58 I'm going to escape, Johnston.
00:21:00 I've got a suitcase,
00:21:03 I'm going to Oxford University.
00:21:07 Your Majesty, if you get married you will
00:21:13 A wedding might be a more
00:21:57 I suppose she's on her way Ba-unr.
00:22:01 It will be all right
00:22:13 Why did you never get married,
00:22:30 Your Mongolian cousin Prince Demchukedamgruv
00:22:38 Plus this.
00:22:44 On behalf of Manchuria.
00:22:52 A lump of coal.
00:22:55 Manchuria...
00:23:24 - The secondary consort welcomes the Empress.
00:23:42 You are doing everything very well.
00:23:44 Thank you.
00:25:34 What is His Majesty thinking?
00:25:36 I was thinking, if I was the real Emperor,
00:25:43 And what would the Emperor do,
00:25:46 I would change everything.
00:25:51 Is the Emperor against arranged
00:25:54 It is humiliating not to choose
00:25:58 Even I was not allowed
00:26:02 And yet westerners might be amazed
00:26:05 how much happiness can come from
00:26:08 That is what old fashioned women say,
00:26:31 In another year or two His Majesty
00:26:37 Is it true the Emperor has a suitcase
00:26:43 Will the Emperor take Wan Jung
00:26:47 Perhaps he would like to
00:26:52 Yes, the Emperor would like to
00:27:03 It is the Emperor who must
00:28:24 I also had a tutor like Mr. Johnston.

00:28:57 Miss Windsor taught me how to
00:29:03 Does the Emperor know how to
00:29:07 Will you teach me?
00:30:32 Leave us! Leave us!

00:33:51 Why do you think you are
00:33:54 I'm accused of being a traitor, a collaborator
00:33:59 It's not an accusation!
00:34:01 You are a traitor, you are a collaborator and
00:34:13 Did you write this?
00:34:17 This is nothing but a list of dates!
00:34:32 What do you want me to confess?
00:34:34 You know what you did and
00:34:37 So why don't you
00:34:40 I don't understand.
00:34:41 We don't tell people what to confess.
00:34:55 I...
00:34:57 Go on.
00:34:59 I wanted reforms.
00:35:01 What did you what to reform?

00:35:42 Oh, we all do, your majesty.
00:35:47 I recently learned that many pieces from
00:35:52 in the antic shops of Peking.
00:37:59 - Would you do me a favour, Wen shu?
00:38:03 Stop growing.
00:38:36 The Forbidden City is like a theater
00:38:41 The audience left long ago
00:38:50 Cut off my queue.
00:38:51 Your majesty! Please!
00:39:29 It's heavy!
00:39:30 The Emperor before me was murdered
00:39:36 Is that not so, Mr. Johnston?
00:39:38 Yes, Your Majesty. Probably.
00:39:41 Well, let us see if they will kill me for
00:39:47 Lord Chamberlain!

00:41:25 I want to rule.
00:41:29 Kiss me.
00:42:00 Can I stay with you as well?
00:42:05 Get in, get in.
00:42:28 I used to play a game with the eunuchs.
00:42:34 Trying to guess who is who.
00:42:39 Now I can't see you!
00:42:51 Jung! Wan Jung?
00:42:58 Come underneath the sheet with us.

00:45:07 I did not know your majesty had read
00:45:13 I am the spider.
00:45:16 The eunuchs set fire to this place to stop me
00:45:21 I'm going to expel them
00:45:24 There are twelve hundred eunuchs,
00:45:28 They have been here for
00:45:30 It will be dangerous.
00:45:32 Do you think the republican government
00:45:35 The republicans will do almost anything
00:45:41 It must happen quickly.
00:45:44 Before they burn the whole
00:46:50 I lived with them all my life, Johnston.
00:46:56 Majesty there is no alternative.
00:47:15 - What is happening?
00:47:31 What are they carrying?
00:47:33 Their organs.
00:47:36 Whatever their crimes, they can't be deprived
00:48:38 Well?
00:48:45 I have forgot what
00:48:47 You're wasting our time!
00:48:49 We want to know about the Japanese.
00:48:55 How did your friendship
00:48:58 Who introduced you?
00:49:03 Hmm, I think it was the new Lord Chamberlain.
00:49:14 Parliament had been dissolved again.
00:49:18 At first, I thought it was just another
00:49:27 Only this time it was different.
00:49:37 Fifteen, love.
00:50:03 Play.
00:50:11 Your highness, how shocking.
00:50:14 Thirty, love.
00:50:18 Ready?
00:50:26 Thirty, fifteen.
00:51:06 The rotten government of
00:51:09 Now we shall remove the foreign stench of the
00:51:32 Mr. Pu Yi and his family have been given
00:51:40 They will be escorted
00:51:43 and remain there under guard as state
00:51:56 What are you all looking at?
00:52:01 You always wanted to leave
00:52:03 Now you're got an hour to pack.
00:52:22 I always thought I hated it here.
00:52:30 Do you think they will kill me?
00:52:31 You must do as they say, Your majesty,
00:52:36 They will give you asylum there.
00:52:42 Chang, take my car to the South gate!
00:54:16 Your Majesty!
00:55:10 Please, Your Majesty!
00:55:12 What?
00:56:24 But you didn't go to
00:56:27 You ended up at the Japanese embassy.
00:56:29 The Japanese were the only people
00:56:32 Help you for nothing?
00:56:36 Japan has an Emperor.
00:56:40 I thought it was kindness.
00:56:43 At the same time I realized that
00:56:48 Simply because I'm Manchurian.
00:56:51 There was even an anti-Manchurian
00:56:56 So, I want to live in Tientsin.
00:57:01 It was a nice provincial town
00:57:06 In those days, we had a large,
00:57:10 The Japanese thought it would
00:57:13 If you had read the books we
00:57:16 you might have learned that the anti-Manchurian
00:57:22 It was designed to frighten you.
00:57:25 I did not know that at the time.
00:57:27 - Cigarette?
00:57:32 Were the Japanese paying
00:57:35 Oh! No.
00:57:37 I had to rent a villa.
00:57:42 So were the bodyguards.
00:57:46 I spent a lot of money in Tientsin.
00:57:48 Did you still believe in a restoration
00:57:52 Others did.
00:57:57 I can't remember how much jade
00:58:00 spend to buy the friendship of some warlord
00:58:07 I even financed an English
00:58:11 They closed after three days,
00:58:14 And what else did you spend
00:58:16 Oh, I was never tired of buying pianos,
00:58:21 As long as they were foreign!
00:58:23 Of course.
00:58:27 Especially Wrigley's chewing gum,
00:58:32 While you were in Tientsin, most of China came
00:58:38 the so-called Nationalists,
00:58:42 What were your relations with them?
00:58:45 None.
00:58:48 I felt useless in Tientsin.
00:58:54 I dreamt of going to the West.
00:58:58 I became a playboy.
00:59:04 Am I blue? Am I blue?
00:59:11 Ain't these tears in my eyes
00:59:20 You'd be too. If each plan with your girl done
00:59:36 But now I'm the sad and lonely one.
00:59:49 Now she's gone and we're
01:00:09 Very good.
01:00:10 Well done.
01:00:48 That's a great ship...
01:00:54 I'm not going anywhere.
01:01:00 Would you like to dance?
01:01:11 You're a brave man. Nobody here
01:01:15 Why is that?
01:01:18 Because I'm Chinese.
01:01:19 Well, I'm American.
01:01:33 You say California.
01:01:36 San Francisco!
01:01:38 Monte Carlo! Are we really going this time?
01:01:53 Who's that couple?
01:01:54 Oh, Henry and Elizabeth.
01:01:57 The Emperor of China?
01:01:59 The ex Emperor and his wife.
01:02:04 She's beautiful.
01:02:05 Yes, very.

01:02:48 The Reds are finished!
01:02:57 Sorry about the reception, everyone!
01:03:00 It would be wiser to return to the Japanese
01:03:04 Your car is waiting.
01:03:05 Thank you, Mr. Amakasu.
01:03:21 The general strike in Shanghai
01:03:25 The international settlement is safe.
01:03:29 Troops of the Kuomintang

01:04:02 What do you think of General
01:04:04 Why should I think of him.
01:04:08 But he has smashed
01:04:11 That's good. Except the Communists were
01:04:18 I expect he betrayed them
01:04:21 - You want some gum, Elizabeth?
01:04:33 Wen Hsiu, you want some gum?
01:04:40 I want a divorce.
01:04:55 I don't want to be your
01:04:58 I thought you were my
01:05:01 In the Forbidden City, you were the
01:05:07 But now you are Henry Pu Yi.
01:05:09 Wan Jung is your wife, Elizabeth.
01:05:14 And who am I? I'm nobody.
01:05:31 I didn't know you were so unhappy.
01:05:39 You can only have one wife
01:05:47 I want a divorce.
01:05:49 No one can divorce me!
01:06:19 I want a divorce!
01:06:33 Come inside me?
01:06:34 Leave me alone.
01:07:14 Your Ladyship!

01:08:29 Elizabeth! Can I come in?
01:08:31 Don't you remember me? I'm dressed like
01:08:37 Eastern Jewel!
01:08:40 Yes, just before your marriage.
01:08:43 Silly girl!
01:08:47 Wen Hsiu has gone.
01:08:51 Is it so bad?
01:08:54 She was my only friend.
01:08:58 Well, at least now you've got

01:09:16 The place to go is Japan!
01:09:21 It's modern.
01:09:24 How do you know we're going
01:09:28 Oh, I know everything!
01:09:30 I know Chiang Kai Shek has got false teeth.
01:09:35 I even know his nickname,
01:09:41 I'm a spy.

01:10:43 Of course, I'd love to be the
01:10:46 Eastern Jewel.
01:10:48 If the post is available.
01:11:08 The post is vacant,
01:11:13 But you don't fit the part!
01:11:19 Wen Hsiu left the dog behind.
01:11:24 It's my fault.
00:00:12 Something terrible has happened.
00:00:20 The Imperial tombs of our Manchurian
00:00:26 by troops of the Kuomintang.

00:29:35 I was the Minister of Trade,
00:29:42 You were all in Manchukuo.
00:29:44 Now, I'm the cell leader.
00:29:46 It is important to follow the rules here.
00:29:49 No talking during study session!
00:30:20 Manchuria 1935.
00:30:55 Where is your gun, Captain?
00:30:59 Our weapons have been removed, Your

00:33:26 No.
00:33:29 Today on our return from Japan we wish
00:33:34 The future of our friendship with Japan.
00:33:38 This is based on mutual respect,
00:33:43 and respect means equality
00:33:46 When the two emperors stood together
00:33:52 they recognized that Manchukuo
00:33:55 Manchukuo is not a colony,
00:34:03 The relationship between our two countries
00:34:08 It is rooted in paternal trust.
00:34:12 In... in the desire to preserve

00:35:09 What the Japanese really wanted
00:35:15 Of course, they've gotten rid of him.
00:35:20 Well, I had been a drug abuser all my life,
00:35:29 I could deal with the green gang in Shanghai,
00:35:36 That is why the Japanese wanted
00:36:09 You were right.
00:36:33 I'm going to have a child.
00:36:47 Colonel Yoshioka, Mr. Amakasu!
00:36:49 I did it for you!
00:37:14 His Majesty forgot to sign the appointment
00:37:22 I didn't forget.
00:37:30 When an Englishman robs someone,
00:37:34 If he robs a lot, he becomes a knight.
00:37:38 Do you imagine the British run

00:38:04 We hope Manchukuo will have an heir.

00:42:56 Because he was my servant.
