Lawrence Of Arabia

en
00:03:26 He was the most extraordinary man
00:03:29 Did you know him well?
00:03:32 I knew him.
00:03:34 Well, nil nisi bonum.
00:03:37 But did he really deserve...
00:03:39 a place in here?
00:03:56 Lord Allenby, could you give
00:03:59 What, more words?
00:04:02 The revolt in the desert...
00:04:04 played a decisive part
00:04:08 Yes, sir, but about
00:04:12 No, no. I didn't know him well,
00:04:18 Mr. Bentley, you know as much
00:04:21 Yes, it was my privilege to know him.
00:04:24 And to make him known to the world.
00:04:27 He was a poet, a scholar
00:04:31 Thank you.
00:04:33 He was also the most shameless
00:04:38 You, sir. Who are you?
00:04:39 My name is Jackson Bentley.
00:04:42 I overheard your last remark
00:04:46 - He was a great man.
00:04:48 No, I can't claim to have known him.
00:04:51 I had the honour to shake his hand
00:04:53 Knew him? I never knew him.
00:04:55 He had some minor function
00:05:17 Michael George Hartley...
00:05:19 this is a nasty, dark little room.
00:05:22 That's right.
00:05:24 We are not happy in it.
00:05:26 I am. It's better than
00:05:30 - Then you're a big noble fellow.
00:05:35 Here is William Potter
00:05:39 - Here you are, Tosh.
00:05:43 Would you care for one of
00:05:47 - Is it there?
00:05:50 Headlines.
00:05:52 But I bet it isn't mentioned
00:05:55 " Bedouin tribes attack
00:06:00 I bet that no one in this
00:06:04 Or would care if it did.
00:06:10 - Mr. Lawrence?
00:06:12 - Flimsy, sir.
00:06:21 You'll do that once too often.
00:06:25 Michael George Hartley,
00:06:28 And you're balmy!
00:06:43 - It damn well hurts!
00:06:46 What's the trick, then?
00:06:48 The trick, William Potter,
00:06:52 By the way, if Captain Gibbon
00:06:55 tell him I've gone
00:07:00 - He's balmy.
00:07:08 Lawrence.
00:07:10 Yes?
00:07:11 You're supposed to be...
00:07:14 Do you usually wear your cap
00:07:17 Always.
00:07:18 You should be on duty.
00:07:20 Mustn't talk shop,
00:07:23 I'm going for a powwow
00:07:25 I'm not asking as your superior,
00:07:28 We don't want chaps in here
00:07:31 Where are you going?
00:07:35 I must say, Lawrence!
00:07:37 - Sorry.
00:07:40 Ah, well, we can't all be lion tamers.
00:07:46 Sorry.
00:07:48 It's an intrigue, Dryden.
00:07:50 I do not propose to let
00:07:53 thumb his nose at his commander
00:07:57 It doesn't sound as though
00:08:00 Don't try that, Dryden.
00:08:04 There is, indeed.
00:08:05 He's of no use here in Cairo.
00:08:07 He might be in Arabia.
00:08:11 Knows the books, you mean.
00:08:12 I've already sent out
00:08:15 If Brighton thinks we should send
00:08:20 Well, what more do you want?
00:08:22 That there would be no question
00:08:25 giving military advice.
00:08:27 By God, I should hope not.
00:08:29 It's just that the Arab Bureau would
00:08:34 To what?
00:08:35 To make our own appraisal
00:08:38 I'll tell you, it's my considered
00:08:42 that time spent on the Bedouin
00:08:45 They're a nation of sheep-stealers.
00:08:47 They did attack Medina.
00:08:50 And the Turks made mincemeat of them.
00:08:53 We don't know that.
00:08:54 We know that they didn't take it.
00:08:59 In my opinion, this whole theatre
00:09:03 The real war's being fought against
00:09:07 Not here, but on
00:09:10 Your Bedouin Army,
00:09:12 would be a sideshow of a sideshow.
00:09:15 Big things have small beginnings, sir.
00:09:19 Does the Arab Bureau
00:09:22 Does the bureau think they'll sit down
00:09:26 The bureau thinks the job of
00:09:32 Don't tell me my duty, Mr. Dryden.
00:09:35 - Lawrence, sir.
00:09:39 Good morning, sir.
00:09:40 Salute.
00:09:43 If you're insubordinate,
00:09:47 - It's my manner.
00:09:49 My manner. It looks insubordinate,
00:09:52 I can't make out whether you're
00:09:56 - I have the same problem, sir.
00:09:59 The Arab Bureau thinks you
00:10:03 Why, I can't imagine.
00:10:04 You can't perform
00:10:07 " I cannot fiddle, but I can make
00:10:12 - What?
00:10:14 - A Greek philosopher.
00:10:18 It says so in your dossier.
00:10:22 You're the kind of creature
00:10:27 But I suppose I could be wrong.
00:10:30 All right, Dryden.
00:10:33 Who knows? It might even
00:10:38 Yes, what is it?
00:10:40 The convoy will be in
00:10:42 - Is that certain?
00:10:45 There doesn't seem to be
00:10:48 But there must be artillery!
00:10:53 Sir, this is something
00:10:57 He has to get to Yenbo, find a guide,
00:11:01 He can't do that in six weeks.
00:11:04 - Two months, then.
00:11:07 All right, three. Now, will you
00:11:11 Thank you, sir.
00:11:15 I'd like to say, sir,
00:11:19 Shut up and get out.
00:11:26 Sir?
00:11:33 How can I fight a bloody war
00:11:37 - How did you do it?
00:11:41 - Because I'm the man for the job.
00:11:45 Of course I am.
00:11:48 Find Prince Feisal.
00:11:50 Good. And when I've found him?
00:11:53 Find out what kind of a man he is.
00:11:56 Find out what his intentions are.
00:11:59 That is Colonel Brighton's business,
00:12:02 I mean, his intentions
00:12:09 That's new.
00:12:12 Where are they now?
00:12:14 Anywhere within 300 miles of Medina.
00:12:17 They're Hashemite Bedouins.
00:12:18 They can cross 60 miles of desert
00:12:22 Thanks. This is going to be fun.
00:12:25 Lawrence, only two kinds of creature
00:12:29 Bedouins and gods, and you're neither.
00:12:32 For ordinary men,
00:12:36 No, Dryden. It's going to be fun.
00:12:43 It is recognized that you have
00:13:59 Here you may drink.
00:14:04 One cup.
00:14:13 You do not drink?
00:14:15 No.
00:14:17 I'll drink when you do.
00:14:20 I am Bedu.
00:16:16 Truly, now, you are a British officer?
00:16:21 Yes.
00:16:23 From Cairo?
00:16:25 Yes.
00:16:27 - You did not ride from Cairo?
00:16:30 Thank heaven. It's 900 miles.
00:16:34 And before?
00:16:36 From Britain?
00:16:39 Yes.
00:16:41 Truly?
00:16:43 From Oxfordshire.
00:16:47 Is that a desert country?
00:16:49 No. A fat country. Fat people.
00:16:55 You are not fat?
00:16:56 No.
00:16:59 I'm different.
00:17:27 Here...
00:17:30 take it.
00:17:32 First I take you to Lord Feisal,
00:17:35 Take it now.
00:17:55 Bedu food.
00:18:11 Good.
00:18:12 More?
00:19:00 - Bedu.
00:19:23 From here to Lord Feisal's camp
00:19:25 Yes, I know.
00:19:27 - I am not Harith.
00:19:29 Hazimi, of the Beni Salem.
00:20:06 Put the right foot in tight.
00:20:10 When you are ready to go...
00:20:11 hit her on the shoulder
00:20:31 Today will be difficult,
00:20:51 I think we reach Masturah Well
00:20:55 And from Masturah Well to
00:20:58 Now!
00:21:57 Good?
00:21:59 It's all right.
00:22:01 This is a Harith well.
00:22:04 The Harith are a dirty people.
00:23:25 Turks?
00:23:51 Bedu.
00:24:37 Who is he?
00:25:30 He is dead.
00:25:32 Yes.
00:25:35 Why?
00:25:39 This my well.
00:25:42 I have drunk from it.
00:25:44 You are welcome.
00:25:47 He was my friend.
00:25:49 - That?
00:26:01 - This pistol yours?
00:26:20 His?
00:26:22 Mine.
00:26:24 Then I will use it.
00:26:33 Your friend...
00:26:37 was a Hazimi of the Beni Salem.
00:26:40 I know.
00:26:48 I am Ali ibn el Kharish.
00:26:52 I have heard of you.
00:26:55 So...
00:26:59 what was a Hazimi doing here?
00:27:01 He was taking me to help
00:27:04 - You've been sent from Cairo.
00:27:08 I have been in Cairo for my schooling.
00:27:12 I can both read and write.
00:27:18 My Lord Feisal already
00:27:23 What is your name?
00:27:25 My name is for my friends.
00:27:33 None of my friends is a murderer.
00:27:37 You are angry, English.
00:27:47 He was nothing.
00:27:49 The well is everything.
00:27:52 The Hazimi may not drink
00:27:55 He knew that.
00:27:59 Salaam.
00:28:01 Sherif Ali.
00:28:03 So long as the Arabs fight
00:28:06 so long will they be
00:28:09 a silly people.
00:28:11 Greedy, barbarous and cruel,
00:28:28 Come.
00:28:30 I will take you to Feisal.
00:28:32 I do not want your company, sherif.
00:28:34 Wadi Saf ra is another day from here.
00:28:38 You will not find it,
00:28:42 I will find it with this.
00:28:53 Good army compass.
00:28:56 How if I take it?
00:28:58 Then you would be a thief.
00:29:00 Have you no fear, English?
00:29:02 My fear is my concern.
00:29:05 Truly.
00:29:10 God be with you, English.
00:29:57 As I walk along the Bois de Boulogne
00:30:02 You can hear the girls declare
00:30:04 He must be a millionaire
00:30:24 I'm the man who broke the bank
00:30:48 Hey, you!
00:31:07 - I've been waiting for you.
00:31:10 I knew someone was coming.
00:31:13 How did he know?
00:31:14 Not much happens within 50 miles
00:31:17 I'll give him that. No escort?
00:31:19 My guide was killed
00:31:22 - Turks?
00:31:25 Bloody savages.
00:31:29 - This is Wadi Saf ra, isn't it?
00:31:32 Just a minute.
00:31:35 Lawrence. I've been seconded
00:31:41 What are you to do
00:31:44 Well, it's rather vague, sir.
00:31:49 Well, that won't be difficult.
00:31:53 Their morale, if they ever had any,
00:31:56 the Turks knocked out of them
00:32:00 They're fading away by dozens
00:32:03 What I want to say is this:
00:32:05 Wherever you are
00:32:08 you're a British officer.
00:32:10 When we get into that camp,
00:32:13 - Do you understand what I'm saying?
00:32:17 You'll make your appreciation
00:32:23 Oh, my God.
00:32:25 Not again.
00:32:54 I've told him!
00:32:58 " Move South, " I've said.
00:33:03 They simply will not understand
00:33:31 Stand and fight. Stand and fight.
00:33:40 Fire back at them.
00:34:50 - Who are you?
00:34:53 Seconded to the Arab Bureau.
00:34:55 This is a bloody mess, sir.
00:34:58 Yes, colonel, 50 miles south.
00:35:01 You were right and I was wrong.
00:35:04 We must take some thought
00:35:06 - We can take care of them at Yenbo.
00:35:10 They can hardly come with us.
00:35:11 No. They must try to reach Yenbo.
00:35:16 Lawrence.
00:35:18 You understand, Lieutenant Lawrence...
00:35:20 my people are unused to
00:35:26 First the guns, and now this.
00:36:22 Cigarette?
00:36:23 I'm sorry.
00:36:35 Cigarette, Your Excellency?
00:36:38 Umph off.
00:36:40 Please, Your Excellency.
00:36:59 Hold it, Jenkins!
00:37:05 Jenkins!
00:37:15 Lawrence?
00:37:19 You have no servant.
00:37:20 - I don't need a servant.
00:37:23 We can do everything. Light fires,
00:37:27 - Yes, everything.
00:37:29 - It will be very nice for you.
00:37:54 Recite, then, as much of the Koran
00:37:59 God knoweth that there be
00:38:03 while others travel through the
00:38:09 Others do battle in His cause.
00:38:14 Recite, therefore,
00:38:18 And observe the prayers.
00:38:22 This will be best and richest
00:38:29 Seek ye the forgiveness of God.
00:38:33 Verily, God is forgiving, mercif ul--
00:38:38 Greetings, Ali.
00:38:40 - My lord.
00:38:42 Lieutenant Lawrence, you have met
00:38:47 Yes, my lord.
00:38:51 And now, Selim, "The Brightness."
00:38:53 " By the noonday brightness...
00:38:56 and by the night
00:38:58 thy Lord hath not forsaken thee...
00:39:00 neither hath He been displeased.
00:39:03 And surely the future shall be better
00:39:07 "And in the end shall your Lord be
00:39:11 and thou be satisfied."
00:39:15 So?
00:39:18 Yes, colonel.
00:39:20 - I want a decision, sir.
00:39:24 Well, you're not doing
00:39:26 I'm sorry to rub it in, sir,
00:39:30 You could supply us through Aqaba!
00:39:33 Aqaba!
00:39:35 If you can get ahold of Aqaba,
00:39:38 - But you can't!
00:39:40 You mean, the navy?
00:39:43 The Turks have 12-inch guns
00:39:47 Can you imagine what that means?
00:39:49 Yes, I can imagine.
00:39:51 Put that out of your mind, sir.
00:39:55 Oh, yes. Protecting the Suez Canal.
00:39:58 The one essential sector of this front
00:40:02 You can see that, sir, surely.
00:40:04 I see that the canal is
00:40:07 It is of little consequence to us.
00:40:09 I must ask you not to speak like that.
00:40:12 British and Arab interests are
00:40:15 Possibly.
00:40:19 Upon my word, sir, you're ungratef ul.
00:40:21 Fall back on Yenbo and we will
00:40:24 Give you arms, advice,
00:40:26 - Guns?
00:40:29 No. Guns. Artillery.
00:40:32 Guns like the Turkish guns at Medina.
00:40:35 Yes, give us guns
00:40:39 Your men need training
00:40:42 English will teach
00:40:44 We will teach them, Sherif Ali,
00:40:50 Yes, lieutenant?
00:40:57 I think it is far from Damascus.
00:41:00 We'll have you in Damascus, sir.
00:41:04 Have you been in Damascus,
00:41:07 Yes, my lord.
00:41:10 It is beautif ul, is it not?
00:41:11 - Very.
00:41:13 Dreaming won't get you to Damascus,
00:41:17 Look, Great Britain is a small
00:41:22 Small population compared with some.
00:41:25 It's small, but it's great. And why?
00:41:28 - Because it has guns.
00:41:31 Because it has a navy, because of this,
00:41:35 and strike where they please.
00:41:38 - Right.
00:41:40 Lawrence is not your military adviser.
00:41:43 But I would like to hear his opinion.
00:41:45 Damn it!
00:41:48 From Lord Feisal, in Feisal's tent.
00:41:51 Old fool! Why turn from him to him?
00:41:57 My lord, I think...
00:42:02 I think your book is right.
00:42:04 The desert is an ocean
00:42:08 On this ocean, the Bedu go where they
00:42:12 This is the way the Bedu has
00:42:15 You're famed through the world
00:42:18 And this is the way you should
00:42:20 I don't know.
00:42:22 I'm sorry, sir, but you're wrong.
00:42:25 Fall back on Yenbo, the Arab Rising
00:42:29 - What is this to you?
00:42:31 No, colonel.
00:42:33 He is a young man,
00:42:37 They must say their say.
00:42:41 But wiser people must decide.
00:42:46 Very well. When shall we move?
00:42:48 You'll lose another 50 men tonight.
00:42:53 You tread heavily...
00:42:56 but you speak the truth.
00:43:00 I will give you my answer tomorrow.
00:43:04 it is late.
00:43:20 Colonel Brighton means to put my men
00:43:26 In effect, my lord, yes.
00:43:28 And I must do it...
00:43:31 because the Turks have
00:43:34 But I fear to do it...
00:43:38 upon my soul I do.
00:43:42 The English have a great hunger for
00:43:46 I fear they hunger for Arabia.
00:43:49 Then you must deny it to them.
00:43:51 You are an Englishman.
00:43:55 To England and to other things.
00:43:58 To England and Arabia both?
00:44:01 And is that possible?
00:44:09 I think you are another of these
00:44:14 Doughty, Stanhope...
00:44:16 Gordon of Khartoum.
00:44:19 No Arab loves the desert.
00:44:21 We love water and green trees.
00:44:27 And no man needs nothing.
00:44:32 Or is it that you think we are
00:44:36 because we are a little people,
00:44:40 greedy, barbarous and cruel?
00:44:44 Or do you know, lieutenant,
00:44:47 were two miles of lighting
00:44:50 when London was a village.
00:44:52 Yes, you were great.
00:44:55 Nine centuries ago.
00:44:57 Time to be great again, my lord.
00:44:59 Which is why my father made this war
00:45:03 My father, Mr. Lawrence,
00:45:08 But my father is old...
00:45:11 and I...
00:45:14 I long for the vanished
00:45:19 However, before the gardens
00:45:23 To be great again, it seems that we
00:45:27 or...
00:45:29 Or?
00:45:30 What no man can provide, Mr. Lawrence.
00:45:34 We need a miracle.
00:48:34 Aqaba.
00:48:39 Aqaba.
00:48:41 From the land.
00:48:43 You are mad.
00:48:45 To come to Aqaba by land we should
00:48:50 That's right.
00:48:51 The Nef ud cannot be crossed.
00:48:54 I'll cross it if you will.
00:48:56 You? It takes more than a compass,
00:49:00 The Nef ud is the worst place
00:49:03 I can't answer for the place.
00:49:07 Fifty men?
00:49:09 Fifty? Against Aqaba?
00:49:11 If 50 men came out of the Nef ud...
00:49:14 they would be 50 men
00:49:17 The Howeitat are there, I hear.
00:49:20 The Howeitat are brigands.
00:49:23 - Good fighters, though.
00:49:26 Yes. There are guns at Aqaba.
00:49:30 They face the sea, Sherif Ali,
00:49:34 From the landward side,
00:49:38 With good reason. It cannot be
00:49:43 Certainly the Turks don't dream of it.
00:49:49 Aqaba's over there.
00:49:53 It's only a matter of going.
00:49:56 You are mad.
00:50:05 And where are you going, lieutenant?
00:50:09 With 50 of my men.
00:50:12 To work your miracle.
00:50:14 Blasphemy is a bad beginning
00:50:19 - Who told you?
00:50:21 Why not you?
00:50:25 You are falling back from Yenbo, sir?
00:50:28 Yes, I must.
00:50:30 But I will spare these to you.
00:50:35 Did Ali break confidence to tell me?
00:50:39 Sherif Ali owes you his allegiance,
00:50:43 Yet you did not tell
00:50:46 No.
00:50:58 Since you do know...
00:51:01 we can claim to arrive
00:51:04 Yes, Lieutenant Lawrence,
00:51:08 But in whose name do you ride?
00:53:34 Sherif, I caught them.
00:53:37 They were here. I caught them.
00:53:39 Why are you here? Boy!
00:53:42 To serve Lord Lawrence, sherif.
00:53:44 This is true, Lawrence.
00:53:47 You have been tracking us.
00:53:49 - You were told to stay.
00:53:52 Our camel strayed. We followed her.
00:53:54 She led us here to be
00:53:57 - It is the will of Allah.
00:54:00 Don't do that.
00:54:01 No, Lawrence, these are not servants.
00:54:06 Be warned. They are not suitable.
00:54:09 They sound very suitable.
00:54:14 These are not servants.
00:54:21 One shilling, every week?
00:54:24 That is fair.
00:54:27 - Each?
00:54:28 - That is too much.
00:54:38 They will be lucky for you.
00:54:55 There is the railway.
00:54:58 And that is the desert.
00:55:02 From here until the other side,
00:55:06 For the camels, no water at all.
00:55:09 If the camels die...
00:55:13 we die.
00:55:15 And in 20 days they will start to die.
00:55:23 There's no time to waste, then,
00:57:52 I was thinking.
00:57:54 You were drifting.
00:57:57 Yes. It will not happen again.
00:58:01 Be warned, you were drifting.
00:58:05 It will not happen again.
00:59:07 That water is wasted.
00:59:14 From now on,
00:59:16 and rest while it is
00:59:19 A few hours each day.
00:59:23 Why don't we start now?
00:59:25 No. We will rest now.
00:59:30 Three hours.
00:59:31 Fine.
00:59:33 I'll wake you.
01:01:47 Do we rest here?
01:01:49 There is no rest now short of water.
01:01:52 The other side of that.
01:01:55 And how much of that is there?
01:01:58 I'm not sure.
01:02:00 But however much, it must be crossed
01:02:06 This is the sun's anvil.
01:03:37 Have we done it?
01:03:38 No, but we're off the anvil.
01:03:42 Thank God for that anyway.
01:03:43 Yes, thank Him.
01:03:46 Lawrence, I do not think you know
01:03:49 I know.
01:03:54 We've done it.
01:03:55 God willing.
01:03:59 When do we reach the wells?
01:04:01 God willing, midday.
01:04:05 - Then we've done it.
01:04:12 Gasim's.
01:04:17 What's happened to him?
01:04:19 God knows.
01:04:22 Why don't you stop?
01:04:25 For what? He will be dead by midday.
01:04:33 We must go back.
01:04:35 What for, to die with Gasim?
01:04:39 In one hour comes the sun.
01:04:43 In God's name, understand!
01:04:47 I can.
01:04:49 Take the boys.
01:04:57 If you go back, you kill yourself,
01:04:59 Gasim you have killed already.
01:05:02 Get out of my way.
01:05:03 Gasim's time is come, Lawrence.
01:05:07 Nothing is written!
01:05:12 Go back, then!
01:05:13 What did you bring us here for
01:05:17 English blasphemer!
01:05:20 Aqaba?
01:05:22 Was it Aqaba?
01:05:25 You will not be at Aqaba, English!
01:05:29 Go back, blasphemer...
01:05:32 but you will not be at Aqaba.
01:05:34 I shall be at Aqaba.
01:05:36 That is written.
01:05:38 In here.
01:05:49 English!
01:05:51 English!
01:12:09 Lawrence! Daud!
01:14:15 Nothing is written.
01:14:48 Al Lawrence.
01:14:54 Farraj.
01:14:57 Wash.
01:15:33 Al Lawrence.
01:15:35 Truly, for some men nothing is written
01:15:44 Not Al Lawrence. Just Lawrence.
01:15:47 - AI Lawrence is better.
01:15:52 Your father too, just Mr. Lawrence?
01:16:01 My father is Sir Thomas Chapman.
01:16:03 - Is that a lord?
01:16:06 Then when he dies,
01:16:09 No.
01:16:13 You have an elder brother.
01:16:16 But then, I do not understand this.
01:16:22 He didn't marry my mother.
01:16:25 I see.
01:16:28 I'm sorry.
01:16:31 It seems to me that you are free to
01:16:37 Yes, I suppose I am.
01:16:41 Al Lawrence is best.
01:16:45 All right, I'll settle for
01:17:18 They are the robes of a sherif
01:17:33 Very fine.
01:17:36 - Great honour.
01:17:40 - Is it permitted?
01:17:48 He for whom nothing is written may
01:18:00 They are good for riding. Try.
01:19:51 What are you doing, Englishman?
01:19:54 As you see.
01:19:57 Are you alone?
01:19:58 Almost.
01:20:08 Are you with those dogs
01:20:10 Yours?
01:20:15 I am Auda Abu Tayi.
01:20:19 I've heard of another man
01:20:22 Other? What other?
01:20:24 The Auda I'd heard of wouldn't need to
01:20:32 He must be a great hero.
01:20:34 He is.
01:20:36 He wouldn't ref use water to men coming
01:20:39 Now, would he not?
01:20:44 No, that must be some other man.
01:20:49 Here is my help.
01:21:15 Son, what fashion is this?
01:21:19 - Harith, Father.
01:21:23 A Beni Wejh sherif.
01:21:25 And is he Harith?
01:21:27 No, Father, English.
01:21:32 Son...
01:21:34 they are stealing our water.
01:21:37 Tell them we are coming.
01:21:40 Tell them.
01:22:48 - Empty that!
01:22:52 It is Auda of the Howeitat who speaks.
01:22:54 It is Ali of the Harith who answers.
01:23:12 Harith.
01:23:14 Ali.
01:23:16 Does your father still steal?
01:23:20 No.
01:23:23 Does Auda take me for
01:23:27 No. There is no resemblance.
01:23:31 Alas, you resemble your father.
01:23:33 - Auda flatters me.
01:23:37 I knew your father well.
01:23:39 Did you know your own?
01:23:44 We are 50, you are two.
01:23:49 Why, then you have a blood feud
01:23:54 - Do you desire it?
01:23:57 nor the sultan himself desire that.
01:24:03 Call off your men.
01:24:09 This honours the unworthy.
01:24:12 I've only just begun to teach him.
01:24:14 And what are you teaching him today?
01:24:19 Be not clever with me, English.
01:24:22 - Who is he?
01:24:35 - So you desire my hospitality?
01:24:38 Is he your tongue?
01:24:40 We do desire it.
01:24:45 Then it is given, if you will take it.
01:24:49 I'm at my summer camp, a poor place.
01:24:51 Well, to me it seems a poor place.
01:24:56 Tomorrow, maybe I will allow the Turks
01:25:02 But...
01:25:04 dine with me.
01:25:06 Dine with Auda, English.
01:25:08 Dine with the Howeitat, Harith.
01:25:11 It is my pleasure that you dine
01:27:49 This thing you work against Aqaba...
01:27:53 what profit do you hope from it?
01:27:56 We work it for Feisal of Mecca.
01:27:58 The Harith do not work for profit.
01:28:01 Well, if it is in a man to be
01:28:05 he could find worse masters
01:28:08 But I...
01:28:12 You permit the Turks to stay in Aqaba.
01:28:15 Yes, it is my pleasure.
01:28:22 We do not work this thing for Feisal.
01:28:25 No?
01:28:27 - For the English, then?
01:28:31 The Arabs?
01:28:33 The Howeitat, Ageyil, Ruala,
01:28:37 I have even heard of the Harith.
01:28:40 But the Arabs?
01:28:41 What tribe is that?
01:28:45 They're a tribe of slaves.
01:28:49 Well, they are nothing to me.
01:28:52 My tribe is the Howeitat.
01:28:54 Who work only for profit.
01:28:56 Who work at Auda's pleasure.
01:28:58 And Auda's pleasure is
01:29:01 Serve?
01:29:02 I serve?
01:29:03 It is the servant who takes money.
01:29:11 I am Auda Abu Tayi.
01:29:13 - Does Auda serve?
01:29:15 - Does Auda Abu Tayi serve?
01:29:22 I carry 23 great wounds,
01:29:27 75 men have I killed with
01:29:30 I scatter, I burn my enemies tents.
01:29:34 The Turks pay me a golden treasure,
01:29:39 Because I am a river to my people.
01:29:51 Is that service?
01:29:53 No.
01:30:00 And yet now it seems Auda
01:30:04 And lost his taste for fighting.
01:30:07 It is well you say it in my tent,
01:30:11 Yet this is a tulip
01:30:15 Why should they wish to?
01:30:18 Now...
01:30:20 I will tell you what they pay me,
01:30:24 a servant's wages.
01:30:27 They pay me, month by month...
01:30:31 100 golden guineas.
01:30:36 150, Auda.
01:30:39 - Who told you that?
01:30:42 And a long tongue between them.
01:30:44 100, 150, what matters?
01:30:48 A trifle which they take
01:30:52 In Aqaba.
01:30:55 - In Aqaba?
01:30:58 You trouble me like women.
01:31:01 Friends, we've been foolish.
01:31:05 - For money?
01:31:06 - For Feisal?
01:31:08 Nor to drive away the Turks.
01:31:11 He will come...
01:31:14 because it is his pleasure.
01:31:18 Thy mother mated with a scorpion.
01:31:23 Make God your agent!
01:31:28 Aqaba!
01:31:30 Aqaba!
01:31:47 God be with you.
01:31:51 God be with you.
01:32:06 God be with you.
01:32:09 God be with you.
01:34:59 Yes.
01:35:01 Aqaba.
01:35:03 Tomorrow we will go and get it.
01:35:07 - Do you think we shall?
01:35:10 If you are right about the guns.
01:35:40 He killed. He dies.
01:35:43 This is the end of Aqaba.
01:35:48 - One of our men murdered Auda's man.
01:35:51 Theft? Blood feud?
01:35:54 Ali!
01:35:56 It is an ancient wound.
01:35:58 I didn't come here to watch
01:36:05 It is the law, Lawrence.
01:36:07 The law says the man must die.
01:36:10 If he dies, will that
01:36:14 Yes.
01:36:18 Sherif Ali!
01:36:20 If none of Lord Auda's men harms
01:36:23 - ...will that content the Harith?
01:36:32 Then I will execute the law.
01:36:36 I have no tribe.
01:36:39 And no one is offended.
01:36:53 Gasim.
01:36:59 Did you do it?
01:37:26 Well, Lawrence...
01:37:35 What ails the Englishman?
01:37:36 That that he killed was the man
01:37:40 It was written, then.
01:37:42 Better to have left him.
01:37:48 It was execution, Lawrence.
01:37:51 Besides, it was necessary.
01:37:55 You gave life and you took it.
01:37:57 The writing is still yours.
01:38:34 Auda Abu Tayi!
01:41:50 The miracle is accomplished.
01:41:54 Garlands for the conqueror.
01:42:09 Tribute for the prince.
01:42:13 I'm none of those things, Ali.
01:42:15 - What, then?
01:42:18 Thanks.
01:42:21 My God, I love this country.
01:42:25 What!
01:42:27 No gold in Aqaba!
01:42:30 Auda, I found it!
01:42:41 That's a pity.
01:42:46 Ali, get a message
01:42:48 Tell Feisal to find boats,
01:42:51 and bring the Arab army here
01:42:54 And you?
01:42:56 I'm going to tell the generals...
01:42:59 in Cairo.
01:43:01 Yes, cross Sinai.
01:43:04 Come on!
01:43:05 Sinai?
01:43:07 Yes.
01:43:08 - With these?
01:43:17 Look, Ali. If any of your Bedouin
01:43:21 "We've taken Aqaba, "
01:43:25 I see.
01:43:26 In Cairo you will put off
01:43:30 You'll wear trousers and tell stories
01:43:34 and then they will believe you.
01:43:37 You're an ignorant man.
01:43:58 Paper.
01:44:01 Paper!
01:44:05 There is no gold in Aqaba.
01:44:08 No gold.
01:44:12 No great box!
01:44:17 Did Auda come to Aqaba for gold?
01:44:20 For my pleasure, as you said.
01:44:24 But gold is honorable...
01:44:27 and Lawrence promised gold.
01:44:31 Lawrence lied.
01:44:34 See, Auda.
01:44:38 "The Crown of England...
01:44:41 promises to pay...
01:44:44 5000 golden guineas...
01:44:49 to Auda Abu Tayi."
01:44:54 Signed in His Majesty's absence...
01:44:59 by...
01:45:02 me.
01:45:04 In 10 days...
01:45:07 I'll be back with the gold.
01:45:10 With gold, with guns, with everything.
01:45:15 Ten days.
01:45:18 You'll cross Sinai?
01:45:20 Why not?
01:45:22 Moses did.
01:45:26 And you will take the children?
01:45:29 Moses did.
01:45:31 Moses was a prophet...
01:45:33 and beloved of God.
01:45:41 He said there was gold here.
01:45:46 He is not perfect.
01:45:58 Lord, can we not rest?
01:46:01 I told you, no rest till
01:46:06 Have you two slept in beds?
01:46:08 Farraj?
01:46:10 Daud?
01:46:12 With sheets?
01:46:15 Tomorrow the finest sheets
01:46:19 I promise.
01:46:21 Then it shall be so, lord.
01:46:44 Look!
01:46:51 Pillar of fire.
01:46:56 No, lord. Dust.
01:47:45 My compass.
01:47:49 No matter.
01:47:50 If we ride west,
01:47:55 Due west.
01:48:16 Come on!
01:48:50 Lawrence!
01:49:04 Farraj!
01:49:15 Farraj, don't! Don't!
01:49:19 Don't!
01:50:52 Why do you walk?
01:50:56 But why, lord?
01:51:08 But why, lord?
01:51:10 There is room for both.
01:51:38 Lawrence, look!
01:52:46 It's all right, Farraj.
01:52:49 It's all right.
01:53:59 Who are you?
01:54:03 Who are you?
01:54:39 - Daud!
01:54:59 You taking him in there?
01:55:02 Yes.
01:55:23 Here!
01:55:26 Here. You!
01:55:30 And where the hell do you think
01:55:34 We are thirsty.
01:55:37 - Mr. Lawrence, is it?
01:55:40 - Are you going to the officers' bar?
01:55:44 You can't take him in there, sir.
01:55:50 What do you think you look like?
01:56:10 No, no. You must go.
01:56:12 No, no. Go, effendi, go!
01:56:15 Get out! You must get out! Get out!
01:56:19 We want two large glasses of lemonade.
01:56:24 - This is a bar for British officers.
01:56:33 - Are you off your head?
01:56:37 - Just clear out of here, will you?
01:56:40 Corporal, we'll have
01:56:44 - Get that wog out of here.
01:56:48 What's going on?
01:56:53 - It's Lawrence, sir.
01:56:58 Explain yourself.
01:57:00 We've taken Aqaba.
01:57:02 - Taken Aqaba? Who has?
01:57:05 Our side in this war has.
01:57:10 We have.
01:57:13 He likes your lemonade.
01:57:15 You mean the Turks have gone?
01:57:17 No, they're still there
01:57:20 Prisoners, sir. We took them
01:57:25 That's not true. We killed some.
01:57:27 Too many, really.
01:57:32 There's been a lot of killing
01:57:37 Cross my heart and hope to die,
01:57:41 - It isn't possible.
01:57:44 I did it.
01:57:50 You'd better talk to Allenby.
01:57:52 - General Allenby?
01:57:55 That's a step in the right direction.
01:57:58 First I want a room.
01:58:01 - Yes, of course.
01:58:05 Right. You want a bed yourself,
01:58:08 See Allenby first, though.
01:58:11 Will he see me?
01:58:13 I think so.
01:58:15 Do that, then.
01:58:21 - I'd better shave.
01:58:24 You'd better get into
01:58:37 " Undisciplined.
01:58:41 Unpunctual.
01:58:44 Untidy.
01:58:47 Several languages.
01:58:51 Knowledge of music...
01:58:54 literature.
01:58:56 Knowledge of...
01:58:59 Knowledge of..."
01:59:04 You're an interesting man,
01:59:08 - Who told you to take Aqaba?
01:59:11 - Sir.
01:59:14 Then why did you?
01:59:15 - Aqaba's important.
01:59:18 - It's the Turkish route to the canal.
01:59:20 - They're coming through Beersheba.
01:59:25 - So?
01:59:30 True.
01:59:31 And it will be further behind your
01:59:36 Am I going for Jerusalem?
01:59:39 Yes.
01:59:42 Very well.
01:59:44 Aqaba behind my right.
01:59:46 It threatened EI' Arish and Gaza.
01:59:50 Anything else?
01:59:52 Yes.
01:59:53 Aqaba's linked with Medina.
01:59:56 Do you think we should shift them
01:59:59 No. I think you should
02:00:03 You acted without orders, you know.
02:00:05 Shouldn't officers use
02:00:10 Not really. It's awfully dangerous.
02:00:12 Yes, I know.
02:00:15 Already?
02:00:16 Yes.
02:00:19 I'm promoting you major.
02:00:23 I don't think that's a very good idea.
02:00:25 I didn't ask you.
02:00:28 and carry on the good work.
02:00:32 No. Thank you, sir.
02:00:35 - Why not?
02:00:39 Let me see now...
02:00:42 I killed two people.
02:00:46 One was a boy.
02:00:48 That was...
02:00:51 yesterday.
02:00:53 I led him into a quicksand.
02:00:56 The other was a man.
02:00:57 That was...
02:01:00 before Aqaba, anyway.
02:01:03 I had to execute him with my pistol.
02:01:06 There was something about it
02:01:09 - Well, naturally.
02:01:14 That's all right.
02:01:16 No. Something else.
02:01:20 What, then?
02:01:22 I enjoyed it.
02:01:32 Rubbish. Rubbish and nerves.
02:01:37 What do you mean coming dressed
02:01:41 Yes. Entirely.
02:01:42 Let me see that hat thing
02:01:46 Fascinating gear they wear.
02:01:48 How would I look in this, Harry?
02:01:50 - Damn ridiculous, sir.
02:01:55 What I'm trying to say
02:01:59 Really? What do you think, Dryden?
02:02:02 Before he did it, sir, I'd have said
02:02:07 - Brighton?
02:02:11 I think you should recommend
02:02:15 I don't think it matters
02:02:18 It was a brilliant bit of soldiering.
02:02:22 - Mr. Perkins!
02:02:24 Let's have a drink, gentlemen.
02:02:31 - You've heard about this, Mr. Perkins?
02:02:34 - What do you think about it?
02:02:38 - Thank you, Mr. Perkins.
02:02:47 Come on, then.
02:02:52 You're a clever man, sir.
02:02:54 No, but I know a good thing
02:02:57 That's fair, surely?
02:03:20 If I need a breakthrough to Jerusalem,
02:03:25 - Bravo.
02:03:46 I fight like Clausewitz,
02:03:49 We should do very well indeed,
02:04:26 Easy, gentlemen, please.
02:04:30 - Give us a drink.
02:04:32 I'm here at the invitation
02:04:36 Tracy.
02:04:39 Shall we go outside?
02:04:52 So you hold bound the Turkish
02:04:55 Yes.
02:04:56 With 1000 Arabs?
02:05:00 1000 Arabs means 1000 knives.
02:05:03 Delivered anywhere, day or night.
02:05:05 It means 1000 camels.
02:05:07 That means 1000 packs of high
02:05:12 We can cross Arabia while
02:05:16 I'll smash his railways.
02:05:18 While he mends,
02:05:21 In 13 weeks I can have
02:05:24 You are going back, then?
02:05:29 Yes.
02:05:30 Of course I'm going back.
02:05:37 Well, if we can see it,
02:05:39 If he finds he's using four divisions
02:05:44 he'll withdraw.
02:05:45 He daren't withdraw.
02:05:48 If he gets out now,
02:05:50 - I wonder who will.
02:05:53 Arabia's for the Arabs now.
02:06:01 That's what I've told them anyway.
02:06:04 That's what they think.
02:06:06 - That's why they're fighting.
02:06:12 They've only one suspicion.
02:06:15 That we'll let them drive the Turks
02:06:19 I've told them that that's false,
02:06:24 Have we?
02:06:25 I'm not a politician, thank God.
02:06:27 Have we any ambition
02:06:31 Difficult question, sir.
02:06:35 I want to know, sir,
02:06:39 that we've no ambitions in Arabia.
02:06:44 Certainly.
02:07:02 2000 small arms, not enough.
02:07:05 Right.
02:07:07 Money. It'll have to be sovereigns.
02:07:11 - Instructors for the Lewis guns.
02:07:14 More money.
02:07:16 - How much more?
02:07:19 - Dryden?
02:07:22 A couple of armoured cars.
02:07:25 Right.
02:07:27 Field artillery.
02:07:31 Right.
02:07:35 I'll give you every
02:07:37 because I know you'll use it.
02:07:40 Thank you for your hospitality,
02:08:17 Congratulations!
02:08:29 Are you really going to give them
02:08:32 I was wondering that, sir.
02:08:34 Might be difficult to get it back.
02:08:36 Give them artillery and you've made
02:08:40 Then I can't give it to them, can I?
02:08:42 - For you to say.
02:08:44 I've got orders to obey, thank God.
02:08:47 Not like that poor devil.
02:08:49 He's riding the whirlwind.
02:08:51 Let's hope we're not.
02:09:25 Excuse me, friend.
02:09:28 To Prince Feisal.
02:09:30 - You're not Prince Feisal?
02:09:33 You know him though?
02:09:34 He is my master. I am his servant.
02:09:40 Can you read?
02:09:50 Chicago Courier is my paper,
02:09:55 I understood so from your letter,
02:10:12 Now...
02:10:14 - Where can I find Major Lawrence?
02:10:18 Not altogether, sir, no.
02:10:20 Well, Mr. Bentley, you will find
02:10:25 That's what I meant, sir.
02:10:28 I don't know.
02:10:30 - Last week they were near El Ghira.
02:10:32 Yes, I fear you have a long journey.
02:10:37 - I've never tried.
02:10:40 A void Mellaha, the Turks are there.
02:10:42 In Mellaha now? They move fast.
02:10:45 They do.
02:10:47 But not so fast as we do,
02:10:50 Myself...
02:10:52 I am going to Cairo.
02:10:54 - As you know.
02:10:56 There's work for me there
02:10:59 Yes.
02:11:04 I know you've been
02:11:06 - That is so.
02:11:09 It restricts us to small things.
02:11:11 It's intended to.
02:11:15 Do you know General Allenby?
02:11:17 Watch out for Allenby.
02:11:21 - Excuse me?
02:11:24 Slim customer. It's very good.
02:11:27 I'll certainly watch out for him.
02:11:32 Your Highness, we Americans were
02:11:35 We naturally feel
02:11:38 who struggle for their freedom.
02:11:40 Very gratifying.
02:11:45 Also, my interests are the same
02:11:49 I badly want a story to tell.
02:11:52 Ah, now you are talking turkey,
02:11:56 I will give you a guide and a letter.
02:11:59 And before I leave here...
02:12:01 which must be presently...
02:12:03 I will have some facts and figures
02:12:08 You know that we are
02:12:12 I do, sir.
02:12:13 Major Lawrence is in charge
02:12:16 My army is made up of tribes.
02:12:19 The tribes are led
02:12:22 Your people do think very highly
02:12:25 Oh, yes. And the rightly.
02:12:29 In this country, Mr. Bentley...
02:12:33 the man who gives victory
02:12:36 beyond every other man.
02:12:39 One figure I can give you
02:12:42 because it never leaves my head.
02:12:46 Since starting this campaign
02:12:51 37 wounded...
02:12:56 156 dead.
02:13:01 You remark the disproportion between
02:13:05 Yeah.
02:13:07 Four times as many.
02:13:09 That's because those too badly wounded
02:13:13 We leave no wounded for the Turks.
02:13:16 - You mean...?
02:13:20 In their eyes, we are not
02:13:24 Rebels, wounded or whole, are
02:13:28 and are treated harshly.
02:13:31 How harshly?
02:13:32 More harshly than I hope
02:13:35 I see.
02:13:37 Our own prisoners are taken care of
02:13:40 can relieve us of them,
02:13:44 - I should like you to notice that.
02:13:49 Is that the influence
02:13:52 Why should you suppose?
02:13:53 It's just that I heard
02:13:56 Major Lawrence has
02:13:58 That is exactly so.
02:14:00 With Major Lawrence,
02:14:04 With me, it is merely good manners.
02:14:07 You may judge which motive
02:14:11 - And now, perhaps...
02:14:18 Thank you, sir.
02:14:20 Can you manage the letter--?
02:14:22 I'll do everything I have said...
02:14:25 if you will tell me truly
02:14:29 in my people and Major Lawrence.
02:14:33 It's very simple, sir.
02:14:36 Indeed.
02:14:39 Oh, no.
02:14:40 But influential men back home believe
02:14:44 to lend her weight to
02:14:47 And Turkey.
02:14:49 I've been sent to find material to
02:14:54 - Enjoyable?
02:14:56 But to show it in its
02:14:59 You look for a figure who
02:15:04 All right. Yes.
02:15:07 Lawrence is your man.
02:15:46 Stop!
02:16:06 Stop it!
02:16:08 Stop it!
02:16:17 Come on, men!
02:17:25 Lawrence!
02:17:46 Good God! God!
02:18:33 Jiminy! Never seen a man killed
02:18:38 Why don't you take a picture?
02:18:40 Wish I had.
02:18:45 How is it with thee, Lawrence?
02:18:50 Am I in this?
02:18:52 Did you take his picture?
02:18:54 Yeah.
02:18:59 You are using up your nine lives
02:19:05 Charming company you keep.
02:19:08 Auda?
02:19:10 He's a bit old-fashioned. He thinks
02:19:15 He thinks you're a kind of thief.
02:19:17 It's all right to take your picture?
02:19:20 - All right.
02:19:21 Just walk.
02:20:20 Major Lawrence!
02:20:23 Yes, sir, that's my baby.
02:20:33 This looting has got to stop!
02:20:36 It is customary.
02:20:38 It's theft. And theft makes thieves.
02:20:41 I would not say that to Auda.
02:20:44 - It is their payment, colonel.
02:20:47 Truly. Are not British soldiers paid?
02:20:50 - They don't go home when being paid.
02:20:58 Well, there's another lot you've
02:21:02 They'll come back.
02:21:05 He says they'll come back.
02:21:08 Not this year, Lawrence.
02:21:10 Look, Lawrence, how many men do you
02:21:15 - Less.
02:21:18 I said, they'll come back.
02:21:21 You badly hurt?
02:21:23 Not hurt at all.
02:21:25 Didn't you know? They can only
02:21:44 It is for children.
02:21:49 - What are you learning from this?
02:21:53 You'll be a democracy in this country?
02:21:58 I will tell you that
02:22:02 Did I answer well?
02:22:04 You answered without saying anything.
02:22:09 You learn quickly.
02:22:12 I have a good teacher.
02:22:16 Yeah.
02:22:25 - How's your hurt?
02:22:27 Before I return to the fleshpots,
02:22:32 may I put two questions to you,
02:22:35 I'd be interested to hear you put
02:22:38 One.
02:22:40 What, in your opinion, do these people
02:22:44 They hope to gain their freedom.
02:22:48 Freedom.
02:22:50 "They hope to gain their freedom."
02:22:53 - There's one born every minute.
02:22:57 I'm going to give it to them.
02:23:01 The second question?
02:23:03 Well, I was going to ask...
02:23:07 what is it that attracts you
02:23:13 It's clean.
02:23:17 Well, now...
02:23:20 that's a very illuminating answer.
02:23:22 May I...
02:23:24 take one farewell picture?
02:23:27 I gave Math Budad two lamps for it.
02:23:31 One clock for two lamps.
02:23:34 A fair bargain.
02:23:35 Fair? I robbed him.
02:23:49 Trash.
02:23:51 I must find something honorable.
02:23:54 Honorable?
02:23:56 The year is running out, Brighton.
02:24:04 I must find something honorable.
02:26:32 Now you may blow up my train.
02:26:34 And what will you do now?
02:26:36 Now I go home.
02:26:41 They will carry my toys too, see?
02:26:44 Major Lawrence will campaign
02:26:47 But you got what you wanted,
02:26:50 Of course. When Lawrence has got
02:26:55 When you've got what you want,
02:26:58 No, I shan't, Auda.
02:27:00 Then you are a fool.
02:27:02 Maybe. But I am not a deserter.
02:27:06 Give thanks to God, Brighton...
02:27:08 that when He made you a fool,
02:27:12 You are an impudent rascal.
02:27:16 I must go, Lawrence, before I
02:27:30 Like talking to a brick wall.
02:27:40 So what will you do now?
02:27:43 I'll go north.
02:27:46 That's what Allenby wants.
02:27:48 Allenby wanted the Arab army
02:27:52 Then that's where I'll take it.
02:27:55 Tell Allenby to hurry up, or we'll be
02:28:00 Won't we?
02:28:33 Train, Farraj.
02:28:35 Yeah, Lawrence.
02:29:04 Hide yourself, my friend.
02:29:15 Detonator.
02:29:29 All right, fetch another.
02:29:31 - Pardon, Lawrence. I put--
02:29:40 Farraj?
02:29:51 - What happened?
02:30:07 He cannot ride.
02:30:18 If they take him alive, you know what
02:30:33 Daud will be angry with you.
02:30:36 Salute him for me.
02:30:57 What will you do now?
02:31:00 Go north.
02:31:02 With twenty?
02:31:04 What would you recommend me to do?
02:31:08 What would you recommend?
02:31:15 He hasn't 1l10 so many men, sir.
02:31:17 He's lied, in fact.
02:31:20 Yes and no. He doesn't claim to have
02:31:24 Then there is an Arab north army.
02:31:28 - No, sir, he has lied about that.
02:31:33 - It's his army, I suppose.
02:31:38 Do you think he's gone native, Harry?
02:31:41 No.
02:31:44 He would if he could, I think.
02:31:49 - Not my line of country.
02:31:53 What matters is I believed it.
02:31:56 The Turks believe it.
02:31:58 They are offering 20, 000 pounds
02:32:03 Good heavens.
02:32:05 - Shouldn't say he had long to live.
02:32:09 Surely. If he's still going north
02:32:14 I wonder if they'd offer that much
02:32:18 What about next year?
02:32:22 I wouldn't be surprised.
02:32:25 - They think he's a kind of prophet.
02:32:43 - Now may I speak?
02:32:46 One more failure and you will find
02:32:50 - I do not include myself.
02:32:54 So say they love you.
02:32:57 The more reason to be thrifty
02:32:59 Give them something to do
02:33:02 They must move mountains,
02:33:05 That's right. That's right.
02:33:08 Who are you to know what can be done?
02:33:11 If we'd done what you thought could
02:33:15 Whatever I ask them to do can be done.
02:33:22 Do you think I'm just anybody?
02:33:25 Do you?
02:33:29 My friends, who will walk on water
02:33:36 - Who will come with me into Deraa?
02:33:40 Will you take 20 against 2000?
02:33:42 - I'll go by myself if I have to.
02:33:46 I told the English generals...
02:33:48 the Arab revolt would be in Deraa
02:33:52 Or perhaps you are here...
02:33:55 for the English generals.
02:33:59 Who says this?
02:34:00 Rumour.
02:34:03 That is not an argument.
02:34:06 Oh, argument.
02:34:08 This afternoon I will take
02:34:11 while the Arabs argue.
02:34:16 Can you pass for an Arab
02:34:19 Yes. If one of you would lend me
02:34:31 It's madness.
02:34:36 What are you looking for?
02:34:38 Some way to announce myself.
02:34:41 Be patient with him, God.
02:34:55 - Do you not see how they look at you?
02:35:00 Halt!
02:35:01 Walk on.
02:35:02 - Halt!
02:35:05 You and you.
02:36:44 You.
02:37:01 You have blue eyes.
02:37:04 - I say you have blue eyes.
02:37:08 - Are you Circassian?
02:37:12 How old are you?
02:37:14 Twenty-seven, effendi.
02:37:17 I think.
02:37:19 You look older.
02:37:25 It's an interesting face.
02:37:31 I am surrounded by cattle.
02:37:34 He wouldn't know an interesting face
02:37:39 I have been is Deraa now
02:37:43 If they posted me to the dark side
02:37:47 isolated.
02:37:51 You haven't the least idea
02:37:54 No, effendi.
02:37:58 Have you?
02:38:00 No.
02:38:02 That would be too...
02:38:04 lucky.
02:38:29 Where did you get that?
02:38:33 - It's old, effendi.
02:38:39 - You are a deserter.
02:38:41 Yes, you are a deserter.
02:38:44 But from which army?
02:38:48 Not that it matters at all.
02:38:51 A man cannot be always in uniform.
02:39:04 Your skin is very fair.
02:39:24 Beat him.
02:40:56 To me!
02:42:55 Sleep.
02:42:58 Sleep.
02:43:11 Eat.
02:43:18 Eat.
02:43:23 You have a body, like other men.
02:43:34 Good.
02:43:36 Then sleep.
02:43:50 Better?
02:43:52 Much better. You were right.
02:43:55 Rest, rest. Can you not learn?
02:43:58 Oh, I've learned all right.
02:44:06 I'm going, Ali.
02:44:08 - Why?
02:44:11 Heavens.
02:44:13 Why?
02:44:15 I've come to the end of myself,
02:44:17 And the end of the Arab revolt?
02:44:20 I'm not the Arab revolt, Ali.
02:44:23 A man can be whatever he wants.
02:44:26 I'm sorry. I thought it was true.
02:44:29 You proved it.
02:44:31 Look, Ali. Look.
02:44:34 That's me. What colour is it?
02:44:38 And there's nothing I can do about it.
02:44:40 A man can do whatever he wants.
02:44:45 He can...
02:44:46 but he can't want what he wants.
02:44:50 This is the stuff that decides what
02:44:56 You may as well know.
02:45:00 I would've told them who I am.
02:45:04 - I tried to.
02:45:06 Well, any man is what I am.
02:45:11 And I'm going back to Allenby to
02:45:15 that any man can do.
02:45:17 Allenby's in Jerusalem.
02:45:19 - I'll make easy stages.
02:45:23 Oh, yes. Easy stages.
02:45:28 Look, Ali, I think I see
02:45:33 ordinarily...
02:45:35 happy.
02:45:40 Can I take this?
02:45:42 It is not clean.
02:45:44 No, but it's warm.
02:45:48 And these...
02:45:49 having led them here,
02:45:54 You lead them. They're yours.
02:46:01 And let me go back to mine.
02:46:31 - I say, don't forget those form fives.
02:46:40 Mind if I join you?
02:46:43 Honoured, sir.
02:46:46 - Good to be back.
02:46:50 - What's doing out there?
02:46:53 - Arabia?
02:46:55 Nothing much. Wrong time of year.
02:46:59 We're settling in.
02:47:01 Jolly good.
02:47:03 Well, I have to go up there.
02:47:08 It's borrowed. Someone pinched mine.
02:47:11 Bloody wogs.
02:47:14 Yes, probably.
02:47:16 Jolly good about the squash court.
02:47:21 Lays it on a bit thick, doesn't he?
02:47:36 Morning.
02:47:38 - Good morning.
02:47:40 - I'll believe you, sir.
02:47:46 Hello.
02:47:48 Morning. You're to go right in.
02:48:02 Lawrence.
02:48:05 Or is it Major Lawrence?
02:48:08 Sir.
02:48:15 Well, general, I will leave you.
02:48:17 Major Lawrence doubtless
02:48:20 about my people
02:48:24 and the need to keep them
02:48:31 And the French interest too.
02:48:35 I told you, no such treaty exists.
02:48:37 Yes, general, you have lied
02:48:41 I know this treaty does exist.
02:48:44 Treaty, sir?
02:48:48 He does it better than you, general.
02:48:50 But then, of course,
02:49:06 You really don't know?
02:49:10 Then what the devil's this?
02:49:13 It's my request
02:49:17 Why? Are you sure you haven't
02:49:21 No.
02:49:23 - I can guess.
02:49:28 Well, now...
02:49:30 Mr. Sykes is as English civil servant.
02:49:33 Monsieur Picot is
02:49:36 Mr. Sykes and Monsieur Picot met,
02:49:40 France and England should
02:49:44 Including Arabia.
02:49:46 They signed an agreement,
02:49:50 An agreement to that effect.
02:49:53 There may be honour among thieves,
02:49:57 And let's have
02:50:00 You may not have known,
02:50:03 If we've told lies,
02:50:07 And a man who tells lies, like me,
02:50:11 But a man who tells half-lies
02:50:16 The truth is I'm an ordinary man.
02:50:20 You might have told me that, Dryden.
02:50:24 And I want an ordinary job, sir.
02:50:26 That's my reason for resigning.
02:50:29 It's personal.
02:50:31 - Personal?
02:50:33 Personal?
02:50:37 And as it happens,
02:50:40 No, and if you don't mind,
02:50:43 That's my reason too.
02:50:46 Look, I'm making my big push
02:50:51 and you are part of it.
02:50:53 Can you understand that? You're
02:50:57 I don't want to be part
02:51:01 What about your Arab friends?
02:51:03 I have no Arab friends!
02:51:07 What in hell do you want, Lawrence?
02:51:09 I've told you, I just want
02:51:15 - Lawrence.
02:51:20 Nothing. Sorry I interrupted, sir.
02:51:23 That's all right.
02:51:25 Thank you, sir.
02:51:28 Why don't we...?
02:51:32 There's blood on your back.
02:51:35 - Do you want a doctor?
02:51:40 Tell me what happened.
02:51:46 Say, what goes on in there?
02:51:49 - Nothing.
02:51:51 - No, really. Nothing at all.
02:51:55 I expect so. We all have troubles.
02:51:59 Let me know if the man's in trouble.
02:52:03 - What claim?
02:52:06 When the war's over,
02:52:09 Yes. Well, at the moment
02:52:14 Will you kindly allow me to pass?
02:52:17 Walk away, Dryden, walk away.
02:52:20 Always walking away, aren't you?
02:52:23 Well, I'll tell you.
02:52:24 It's a clash of temperament
02:52:27 Inevitably, one of them's half-mad...
02:52:30 and the other, wholly unscrupulous.
02:52:34 I believe your name will
02:52:37 when you'd have to go to the
02:52:41 You're the most extraordinary man
02:52:45 Leave me alone.
02:52:47 - Leave me alone.
02:52:49 - I know I'm not ordinary.
02:52:52 All right, I'm extraordinary.
02:52:56 What of it?
02:52:58 Not many people have
02:53:01 It's a terrible thing
02:53:04 Are you speaking from experience?
02:53:06 No.
02:53:08 You're guessing, then.
02:53:11 Suppose you're wrong.
02:53:12 Why suppose that?
02:53:16 - Yes. I said, yes.
02:53:21 The 16th?
02:53:22 Can you do it?
02:53:26 - Artillery?
02:53:29 They won't be coming for money,
02:53:33 They'll be coming for Damascus.
02:53:36 Which I'm going to give them.
02:53:38 That's all I want.
02:53:41 All you want is someone
02:53:44 But I'm going to give them Damascus.
02:53:48 And when we've got it, we'll keep it.
02:53:52 Tell the politicians
02:53:54 Fair enough.
02:53:56 Fair? What's fair got to do with it?
02:53:59 It's going to happen.
02:54:02 I shall want quite a lot of money.
02:54:05 All there is.
02:54:07 Not that much.
02:54:11 The best of them won't come for money.
02:54:16 They'll come for me.
02:54:35 No pictures!
02:54:36 It's not for you, it's for Lawrence.
02:54:39 He doesn't mind having his picture
02:54:43 Well, there's only one Lawrence.
02:54:50 Have you met Lawrence
02:54:52 Yes.
02:54:53 - Changed, hasn't he?
02:54:56 Oh, I'd say he had.
02:55:04 What did that Turkish general
02:55:08 He was the same man after Deraa.
02:55:14 What did the English
02:55:17 Search me. Ask Lawrence.
02:55:18 - I did.
02:55:21 He laughed.
02:55:23 He told me to gather the Harith here.
02:55:26 He offered me money.
02:55:27 Did you take it?
02:55:30 No. But many did.
02:56:08 - What is this?
02:56:12 There is not a man
02:56:15 - There's a price on my head too.
02:56:18 The sheiks will hang these men.
02:56:21 These men are mine.
02:56:23 Lawrence, these things know
02:56:27 - You, Ghitan of Aleppo.
02:56:31 - Where do we ride?
02:56:34 Aye, but for what?
02:56:36 Sherif, for Lawrence.
02:56:41 - You have bought these things.
02:56:44 That is different.
02:56:47 I don't want ordinary men. Hut!
02:56:54 Damascus!
02:56:56 Damascus! Damascus!
02:56:58 Damascus! Damascus!
02:57:34 Very well, gentlemen. The cavalry's
02:57:37 Very good, by the way.
02:57:41 If the enemy's retreating in
02:57:45 Certainly.
02:57:46 He can't be far from Mallud...
02:57:48 in which case I can have him
02:57:52 Splendid. Philip.
02:57:55 These are the last infantry supports
02:57:58 But Mallud, we could have
02:58:02 That'll do for now.
02:58:05 Any questions?
02:58:07 This Arab army on the right, sir,
02:58:11 Irregular cavalry, sir. About 2000.
02:58:13 Where are they now?
02:58:16 - Can only know by being with them.
02:58:21 Pound them, Charley.
02:58:24 Pound them.
02:58:35 God help the men who lie under that.
02:58:38 They're Turks.
02:58:40 God help them.
02:59:22 Well, he's got the bit
02:59:26 Cocky?
02:59:28 More than cocky, sir.
02:59:30 He's got the bit
02:59:33 I tell you, sir, I think
02:59:37 - Unless...
02:59:39 Well, there's a Turkish column
02:59:43 - What do the Turks have in Mazril?
02:59:49 I wonder where they are now.
03:01:29 No prisoners.
03:01:33 Damascus, Lawrence.
03:01:45 Lawrence, not this.
03:01:48 Go round.
03:01:53 No prisoners.
03:02:04 This was Talaal's village.
03:02:10 Talaal!
03:02:21 Talaal!
03:02:31 No prisoners!
03:02:33 No prisoners!
03:02:46 God.
03:02:51 God.
03:02:54 God!
03:05:07 Enough.
03:06:43 Major!
03:06:45 Major Lawrence!
03:06:52 Jesus wept.
03:07:08 Jesus wept.
03:07:12 Does it surprise you, Mr. Bentley?
03:07:14 Surely you know
03:07:17 Barbarous and cruel.
03:07:19 Who but they?
03:07:22 Who but they?
03:07:25 Oh, you rotten man.
03:07:29 Here, let me take
03:07:35 For the rotten bloody newspapers.
03:08:02 These were cut last night,
03:08:06 Damascus!
03:08:08 Take them to Sherif Ali.
03:08:10 Tell him.
03:08:12 Remind him.
03:08:15 - Is Allenby in Damascus?
03:08:18 Tell Sherif Ali that.
03:08:22 They are not ripe.
03:08:29 General salute!
03:08:31 Present arms!
03:08:47 Port arms!
03:08:52 Lawrence is behind it, sir.
03:08:54 The whole town is plastered
03:09:03 - When?
03:09:05 They've been here a day and a night.
03:09:07 They've occupied the town.
03:09:09 He's set up his own headquarters
03:09:14 What else beside the town hall?
03:09:16 Telephone exchange,
03:09:19 hospitals, fire station.
03:09:21 They call themselves
03:09:24 and they're in the town hall.
03:09:26 Well, they're your pigeon, Harry.
03:09:31 What should we do?
03:09:32 Get them out of it, sir, quick time.
03:09:35 How about that, Dryden?
03:09:39 Not unless you want
03:09:42 - What, then?
03:09:45 By special train in two days' time.
03:09:47 Two days.
03:09:49 Two days is what you asked for.
03:09:52 - Isn't it enough?
03:09:55 - Ample, I should think.
03:09:58 Why not? It's usually best.
03:10:02 And Tracey, all troops to remain
03:10:06 Does that apply to technical units?
03:10:08 Technical units particularly.
03:10:10 Yes, sir.
03:10:12 Medicals too, sir?
03:10:14 I'm af raid so, Harry.
03:10:16 Medicals too.
03:10:57 We here...
03:10:58 are neither Harith nor Howeitat...
03:11:01 nor any other tribe, but Arabs...
03:11:05 of the Arab Council,
03:11:08 He insulted me.
03:11:11 Sherif Ali said that the telephones
03:11:15 and they have ceased to work.
03:11:19 They will not work because
03:11:22 The electricity is
03:11:28 If you answer,
03:11:31 You speak to me of bloodshed?
03:11:37 I ask pardon of Auda Abu Tayi.
03:11:41 Humbly?
03:11:43 Humbly, Harith?
03:11:44 Yes, humbly.
03:11:47 This is a new trick.
03:11:50 Why is there no electricity?
03:11:52 I have been to that
03:11:55 There are three large machines.
03:11:58 He means generators!
03:12:01 So.
03:12:02 One of them is burning.
03:12:04 They are of an incredible size,
03:12:07 It is so of all machines.
03:12:10 Let them burn.
03:12:17 - The need is absolute.
03:12:20 No. Take English engineers
03:12:24 Take--
03:12:29 Fire has broken out.
03:12:30 - Where?
03:12:32 - It is not a district that matters.
03:12:35 Then use the fire brigade!
03:12:37 We have tried,
03:12:40 Then you must carry it.
03:12:42 - The Ruala do not carry water.
03:12:58 We will hear petitions this afternoon.
03:13:04 This afternoon!
03:13:28 - I'll take this up after the war.
03:13:32 - It's an old man's sport.
03:13:36 All I can say is, sir,
03:13:40 Sorry, sir.
03:13:44 Maybe it's the bulb.
03:13:50 No, sir.
03:13:51 It's the power.
03:14:07 They're leaving.
03:14:09 That's it, then.
03:14:12 Marvellous-Iooking beggars,
03:14:34 Leave it, Lawrence. Come with me.
03:14:37 - Come where?
03:14:43 I know your heart.
03:14:53 What is it?
03:14:56 Is it this?
03:15:00 I tell you, this is nothing.
03:15:16 Is it the blood?
03:15:18 The desert has dried up more blood
03:15:23 I pray that I may never
03:15:28 Hear me, God.
03:15:31 You will come.
03:15:51 What about you?
03:15:53 No, I shall stay here
03:15:59 A very low occupation.
03:16:00 I had not thought of it
03:16:12 You have tried very hard
03:16:15 It's what I came for.
03:16:20 And then...
03:16:24 it would be something.
03:16:25 Yes.
03:16:27 Much.
03:16:46 - He is your friend?
03:16:49 - You love him.
03:16:50 Then why do you weep?
03:16:52 If I fear him, who love him...
03:16:55 how must he fear himself,
03:16:58 Take your hand away, Howeitat!
03:17:03 So you are not yet
03:17:07 Not yet.
03:17:08 Well, these are new tricks,
03:17:13 And Allah be thanked.
03:17:15 I'll tell thee what...
03:17:16 being an Arab will be thornier
03:17:40 In all my years,
03:17:44 It comes within the jurisdiction
03:17:47 Under the circumstances, I think
03:17:51 Under any circumstances at all,
03:17:54 No, sir, I will not.
03:17:57 Control yourself.
03:17:59 Now, go over to the town hall
03:18:02 We did what we could
03:18:05 But you forgot
03:18:08 It has 600 beds. There are
03:18:13 All of whom are the responsibility
03:18:24 What's it like?
03:19:39 This is outrageous!
03:19:42 Outrageous!
03:19:47 Outrageous!
03:19:50 You filthy little wog!
03:20:02 My friend Lawrence,
03:20:06 " My friend Lawrence."
03:20:08 How many men will claim the right
03:20:13 He longs for the greenness
03:20:16 He pines for the Gothic cottages
03:20:21 Already in imagination,
03:20:25 and all the activities
03:20:28 That's me you're describing, sir,
03:20:33 You're promoted colonel.
03:20:35 Yes. What for?
03:20:37 Take the honour, colonel.
03:20:41 As a colonel, you'll have a cabin
03:20:45 Then, thank you.
03:20:51 Well, then...
03:20:53 Godspeed.
03:20:55 There's nothing further here
03:20:59 We drive bargains. Old men's work.
03:21:03 Young men make wars, and the virtues
03:21:07 Courage and hope for the future.
03:21:11 Then old men make the peace.
03:21:14 And the vices of peace
03:21:17 Mistrust and caution.
03:21:21 It must be so.
03:21:38 What I owe you is beyond evaluation.
03:21:52 The powerhouse, the telephone
03:21:56 The pumping plant I must retain.
03:21:58 If you retain it,
03:22:00 - I shall be glad of assistance.
03:22:04 I shall not, and if your men
03:22:08 - Have you men?
03:22:10 It's a thing that
03:22:13 I'm sure your government...
03:22:15 does not wish to appear at
03:22:20 I say!
03:22:23 It's Lawrence, isn't it?
03:22:27 May I shake your hand, sir?
03:22:31 Just want to be able
03:22:37 Haven't we met before?
03:22:39 Don't think so, sir.
03:22:41 No, no, sir, I should remember that.
03:22:48 It is widely known the Arab Council
03:22:52 They have no power. It's illusory.
03:22:55 Illusions can be very powerf ul.
03:22:57 Particularly...
03:23:00 when they take this form.
03:23:04 The world is delighted
03:23:07 liberated by the Arab army.
03:23:10 Led, may I remind you,
03:23:13 Ah, yes. But then Lawrence
03:23:18 We are equally glad
03:23:25 I thought I was a hard man, sir.
03:23:28 You are merely a general.
03:23:32 I must be a king.
03:23:37 Excuse me, sir.
03:23:52 Well?
03:23:55 Well...
03:23:56 it seems we're to have
03:23:59 with an Arab flag on it.
03:24:02 Do you think it was worth it?
03:24:04 Not my business.
03:24:07 Yes, sir.
03:24:08 So you keep saying.
03:24:10 You, I suspect...
03:24:12 are chief architect
03:24:16 - What do you think?
03:24:20 On the whole, I wish
03:25:00 Well, sir. Going home.
03:25:05 Home, sir.
03:25:14 Goodbye, Dolly, I must leave you
03:25:17 Though it breaks my heart to go
