00:03:41	Who's that bloody fool on the grey?
00:03:44	Someone who wants to be noticed,
00:03:46	He'll be noticed.
00:03:56	My Early Life...
00:03:57	...by Winston Spencer Churchill.
00:04:02	On the 16th of September, 1897...
00:04:07	...at the age of 22...
00:04:09	...I found myself taking part
00:04:13	...of the Malakand Field Force
00:04:49	In a sense, I had arranged for my
00:04:54	August the 5th, 1897.
00:04:56	A letter to General Sir Bindon Blood:
00:04:58	"Sir, I do hope you will not be annoyed
00:05:02	...that you once promised me that
00:05:05	...you would try to find
00:05:07	"Very difficult. No vacancies.
00:05:09	Come up as a correspondent.
00:05:23	Which of these gallant chaps
00:05:26	...to something really exciting,
00:05:30	That column there?
00:05:32	Or that one? It's all a lottery, isn't it?
00:05:35	Just luck.
00:05:36	God, I hope I'm lucky today.
00:05:45	The jok e of it all is that I never
00:05:48	No. Politics, parliament,
00:05:52	But how am I to get there?
00:05:54	...no family in the government.
00:05:58	Money. My darling mother wrote to me
00:06:03	"Really, Winston, you are simply
00:06:07	I am sending the man
00:06:10	...but why will you write cheques
00:06:14	Actually, in America, you know,
00:06:16	And they sentence people
00:06:21	My dear, do be careful.
00:06:24	Please, please, don't tak e
00:06:29	Your loving mother,
00:06:41	Who's that bloody fool on the grey?
00:06:45	Can't tell.
00:06:47	Someone who wants to get noticed,
00:06:50	He'll be noticed.
00:07:06	Sir!
00:07:09	Lieutenant Churchill, sir.
00:07:12	Actually, I'm here as a correspondent.
00:07:17	If you're going
00:07:19	...would you mind awfully
00:07:22	Yes. Churchill, 4th Hussars.
00:07:26	We don't care much for
00:07:28	Or white horses, either.
00:07:32	In the auction last week, sir.
00:07:35	- Previous owner killed?
00:07:38	Didn't that teach you anything?
00:07:41	Sir?
00:07:44	Come along if you like.
00:07:47	Thank you very much, sir.
00:07:49	Oh, one more thing.
00:07:53	These chaps can be very nasty.
00:07:55	But as you're only an onlooker, I can't
00:07:59	Yes, sir.
00:08:03	Thank you very much, sir.
00:08:10	The truth is, I'm not at all brave.
00:08:12	The truth is, I've often felt
00:08:16	But if I could win a reputation
00:08:20	...if I could be mentioned
00:08:23	...that would help me
00:08:26	In short, I need medals.
00:08:30	Lots and lots of medals.
00:08:34	And I have to learn so much,
00:08:37	I have to read all the books
00:08:40	I must become my own university.
00:08:43	And I must overcome my speech
00:08:47	The Spanish ships
00:08:51	For they are not in shite- Site.
00:09:22	Move it!
00:09:23	Is everybody gone, sir?
00:09:29	All gone, sir.
00:09:30	Very well, then.
00:09:33	- Carry on.
00:09:37	Number three section, follow me!
00:09:40	Wouldn't you know it?
00:09:44	Talk about rotten luck.
00:10:12	Right, we'll start back now.
00:10:14	Keep a dozen men and cover us
00:10:17	- Then we'll cover you.
00:10:19	Come along, Mr. Cartlidge,
00:10:21	Very well, sir. Come along
00:10:25	Head's up.
00:10:32	It's not bad at that.
00:10:33	Could be worth two
00:11:08	Get back. Get back!
00:11:42	Willy! Come on, get out of there.
00:11:45	Come down! We'll cover you!
00:11:47	Fall back! Fall back!
00:12:12	No, sahib, leave me.
00:12:16	Sahib, let me go!
00:12:18	Oh, please, on my knees,
00:12:56	Come on, you idiot, get out of it!
00:13:00	Get out of it!
00:13:22	" And to conclude these despatches...
00:13:24	...the general in the field
00:13:28	...the courage of
00:13:31	...who made himself useful
00:13:45	And thereupon,
00:13:50	And the literary critics
00:13:53	"If General Kitchener
00:13:55	...to read Mr. Winston Churchill's
00:13:59	...it's fascinating to imagine
00:14:03	The book is excellent for a first effort,
00:14:08	Some Helpful Hints for Generals
00:14:12	Hurry up, the train is about to leave.
00:14:17	For some reason unknown to me...
00:14:19	...I have always been charged
00:14:23	But then, in my lifetime...
00:14:26	...I have constantly been accused
00:14:39	Perhaps I paid for all those sins...
00:14:42	...real or imaginary, in advance...
00:14:45	...for when I was but 7,
00:14:50	...and sent away to school.
00:14:57	I left behind me
00:15:01	...especially my nurse,
00:15:03	Winnie, bye-bye!
00:15:05	...who look ed after me
00:15:09	...and to whom I poured out
00:15:12	And for some reason
00:15:15	...I called her "Womany. "
00:15:18	And when I went away,
00:15:25	"Searest Mother, my white horse
00:15:29	Everyone noticed me.
00:15:31	The news is that Kitchener is going
00:15:35	Mother, darling, you must use
00:15:39	...to get me into his command. "
00:15:43	My American mother...
00:15:45	...always seemed to me
00:15:49	A radiant being...
00:15:51	...possessed of limitless
00:15:56	She shone for me
00:16:00	I loved her dearly.
00:16:03	But at a distance.
00:16:09	Nevertheless, it was my father...
00:16:12	...who was the greatest and most
00:16:17	He was the second son
00:16:20	...and a Tory member
00:16:24	Good morning, good morning.
00:16:26	Unfortunately, if my mother had
00:16:31	...I saw and spok e to my father
00:16:40	He numbered among his friends...
00:16:43	...some of the most important
00:16:45	...and indeed in all England.
00:16:49	Men lik e Lord Salisbury,
00:16:53	...which was then in opposition.
00:16:56	His nephew, Arthur Balfour.
00:16:59	And Joseph Chamberlain.
00:17:01	And even I knew that one day...
00:17:04	...when the people
00:17:06	...and swept the Conservatives
00:17:09	...it would be these men who,
00:17:13	...would form the government.
00:17:16	No Lord Rothschild?
00:17:18	Are none of your Jewish friends
00:17:22	No, I didn't think
00:17:25	You know how easily bored they are.
00:17:47	Winston.
00:17:54	Thank you, sir.
00:17:57	Now, we enter this in your name.
00:17:59	So...
00:18:01	And then you can purchase
00:18:06	Up to the limit of your credit,
00:18:10	I'm afraid Winston doesn't quite
00:18:13	We shall teach him.
00:18:15	This young man will be very happy
00:18:19	I am certain he will.
00:18:24	Would you take tea, Lady Randolph?
00:18:26	I'm afraid I can't.
00:18:28	Another time perhaps,
00:18:38	You will be good, darling.
00:18:40	And you will write, won't you?
00:18:42	Yes, Mama.
00:19:24	And so, young Churchill,
00:19:28	Come along.
00:19:30	Yes, sir.
00:19:31	I am going to tell you something...
00:19:34	...I shall want you
00:19:37	Your school days are the most
00:19:41	How you get on here
00:19:45	...how you get on in the world.
00:19:47	Succeed here,
00:19:50	Fail here...
00:19:52	...and you will be a failure
00:19:55	- Do you understand?
00:19:58	Good.
00:20:02	Be like him in all things.
00:20:05	Now, you wait here
00:20:10	Have you had any Latin?
00:20:12	Latin? No, sir.
00:20:18	While I am gone, learn this.
00:20:22	This, on the right-hand page.
00:20:26	...we shall see
00:20:51	They are ready for you.
00:20:54	Now, then, have you learnt it?
00:20:57	- I think I can say it, sir.
00:21:01	Mensa: a table.
00:21:03	Mensam: a table.
00:21:05	Mensae: to or for a table.
00:21:09	Very good. Come along.
00:21:12	Excuse me, sir,
00:21:16	It means what it says.
00:21:19	Mensa is a noun
00:21:21	There are five declensions.
00:21:23	You have learnt the singular
00:21:26	Yes, sir. But what does it mean?
00:21:30	I have told you.
00:21:34	But it means " O table" too, sir.
00:21:36	And what does " O table" mean?
00:21:38	"Mensa: O table"
00:21:42	O table.
00:21:44	You would use that in addressing
00:21:51	You would use it
00:21:55	But I never do, sir.
00:21:57	Churchill...
00:21:59	...in this school, if you are impertinent,
00:22:02	...and punished, let me tell you,
00:22:08	Come along.

00:22:18	" He exhibits rather
00:22:21	...towards the disciplines
00:22:24	Gamma. "
00:22:26	Stand forward, McSweeney.
00:22:31	Mr. McSweeney, I shall be obliged if,
00:22:34	...you will take your customary step
00:22:37	"Sear Mama, I hope you are well.
00:22:39	I'm very happy at school.
00:22:41	I do wish you could come
00:22:44	" He gabbles his translations
00:22:48	Step forward, Stuart MacKenzie.
00:22:52	May, A C W.
00:22:55	Stand forward, Mr. May.
00:22:57	Mr. Belcher tells me in this report...
00:23:00	...that you suppose noise to be
00:23:05	You will give me
00:23:07	...where we will explore
00:23:18	Mr. May, you're first.
00:23:42	- which is, in my view, essential.
00:23:46	Oh, come, come, it really is time
00:23:49	...stopped trying
00:23:52	...in order to prevent action
00:23:58	Mr. Speaker! Mr. Speaker, I protest!
00:24:01	Those words should be taken down.
00:24:04	Mr. Speaker, I agree.
00:24:08	Those words should be taken down.
00:24:11	Will the gentlemen of the press
00:24:17	It really is...
00:24:20	...time the Honourable Member...
00:24:23	...stopped trying
00:24:43	"Sear Papa, how are you? I am well.
00:24:46	- Mr. Churchill!
00:24:49	I had a nice birthday. Thank you
00:24:53	I know you're ever so busy...
00:24:54	...but it would be ever so nice
00:25:14	And when the next election came...
00:25:17	...my mother married an American
00:25:23	Mind your skirts, dearie.
00:25:29	Good morning! Good morning.
00:25:31	Good morning.
00:25:34	Are we new in the neighbourhood?
00:25:37	Well, you've come to the right place
00:25:40	It never hurts to do a little
00:25:43	And learn your way about, in effect,
00:25:47	I want to talk to you
00:25:49	My husband, Lord Randolph Churchill,
00:25:53	And I'm helping him to get elected.
00:26:00	Ma'am, in this constituency...
00:26:02	...in effect, we vote as we please.
00:26:05	And we don't like people
00:26:10	Furthermore, I never discuss
00:26:15	Even ladies, ma'am,
00:26:17	In- In- In- In effect.
00:26:19	But I want your vote.
00:26:23	Indeed. Well, that's a point.
00:26:25	Quite so. You-
00:26:29	It is a point, but it's no use.
00:26:32	I'm a life-long liberal.
00:26:35	Besides, I don't hold with lordships
00:26:39	No. Horses for courses, I say.
00:26:42	Lords for lords, commons in
00:26:45	But my husband doesn't loll.
00:26:47	He never lolls. He works very hard.
00:26:50	That's why he isn't here
00:26:53	In effect.
00:26:55	Oh, and what time, may I ask, does
00:26:59	Most days, about 11.
00:27:03	- Sometimes very late.
00:27:07	Well, I'm sorry, ma'am...
00:27:09	...I could never vote for a man
00:27:14	That is the end of it, ma'am.
00:27:25	Good day.
00:27:28	Just a moment.
00:27:33	Doesn't get out of bed till 11,
00:27:38	Well, ma'am, looking at you now...
00:27:41	...it's a wonder to me
00:27:44	Good day to you, ma'am.
00:27:54	- Good evening.
00:27:56	Thank you, Evans. Betty, Marlene.
00:27:59	- No, milady.
00:28:01	I'm here, Lady Randolph.
00:28:03	If I might speak to you?
00:28:27	When did this happen?
00:28:29	Have you called the doctor?
00:28:45	We shall be taking him
00:28:48	Won't we, milady?
00:28:52	Ladies and gentlemen,
00:28:54	...Secretary of State for India.
00:28:56	Lord Randolph. Many people
00:28:59	...for the return of
00:29:01	Yet there is a rumour that
00:29:04	...to the prime minister,
00:29:06	I trust I am not here to exchange
00:29:10	But you will not deny there is friction
00:29:14	I refuse to discuss that any further.
00:29:17	To put an end to it, let me say...
00:29:19	...that I have never run away from
00:29:24	But I am and always will be
00:29:28	Mind you...
00:29:29	...some of my friends in my own party
00:29:34	The Tory Party
00:29:36	...until it gains the confidence of the
00:29:40	Because the working classes are
00:29:44	Yes. Your theory of Tory democracy.
00:29:48	It is said that there are
00:29:51	Really?
00:29:52	Yes. After all, as an aristocrat...
00:29:54	...it's difficult to accept you
00:29:58	Many people think you use it
00:30:00	...to make yourself prime minister
00:30:05	Do you?
00:30:07	- Not at all.
00:30:11	Recently, you've expressed strong
00:30:16	Well...
00:30:20	That, I'm afraid, will never be solved.
00:30:23	Quite.
00:30:24	Now, Lord Randolph,
00:30:28	...you and Lady Randolph, the former
00:30:31	...are leaders of society.
00:30:33	Your racehorses are most successful,
00:30:37	...and His Royal Highness the Prince of
00:30:41	And Lady Randolph and you...
00:30:42	...are identified with
00:30:47	Your splendid home
00:30:49	...is one of the few
00:30:53	How do you find it?
00:30:57	Well, it's all rather
00:31:00	That thing in the cellar-
00:31:03	- is rather noisy.
00:31:05	The lights will keep going out
00:31:09	No, I don't think that electric light
00:31:12	- At least, not in private houses.
00:31:14	I believe, Lord Randolph,
00:31:17	What? Yes, actually. Two.
00:31:20	Two sons, Winston and Jack.
00:31:23	No doubt, they're very proud
00:31:29	That thought
00:31:37	I had scarcely passed
00:31:40	...when I entered the inhospitable
00:31:45	...through which,
00:31:47	...I was destined to journey.
00:31:49	These examinations
00:31:57	I should have lik ed to be ask ed
00:32:01	They always contrived
00:32:05	This sort of treatment
00:32:08	I did not do well in examinations.
00:32:21	Begin.
00:32:23	This was especially true...
00:32:25	...of my entrance examination
00:32:30	I wrote my name
00:32:34	I wrote the number
00:32:40	And after much reflection,
00:32:45	But thereafter, I could not think
00:32:49	...that was either relevant or true.
00:32:51	Incidentally, there arrived
00:32:54	...a blot and several smudges.
00:32:58	I gazed for two whole hours
00:33:04	Then, merciful ushers
00:33:08	...with all the others and carried it
00:33:15	Longhaired boy in the second row.
00:33:17	It was from these slender
00:33:21	...that Mr. Welldon, the headmaster...
00:33:23	...drew the conclusion
00:33:28	It is very much to his credit.
00:33:30	It showed that he was a man...
00:33:33	...capable of looking
00:33:36	A man not dependent
00:33:40	I have always had
00:33:52	- Happy Christmas, Lord Randolph.
00:33:54	And to you, my boy.
00:33:56	Mr. Buckle, a visit from me
00:34:00	...must be a surprise to you.
00:34:01	Oh, The Times has learnt never to be
00:34:06	Then, perhaps, this will surprise you.
00:34:18	This is a letter from you
00:34:21	That is correct.
00:34:31	But it's a letter of resignation
00:34:33	That is also correct.
00:34:43	Lord Randolph.
00:34:47	You have taken me into your
00:34:53	I ask you...
00:34:56	I beg you not to send it
00:34:59	I already have. That's a copy.
00:35:01	Then I urge you to withdraw it.
00:35:03	That's not possible.
00:35:07	Lord Randolph, once before
00:35:10	...and the prime minister retreated.
00:35:13	This time, he will stand firm.
00:35:18	Really?
00:35:20	Forgive me if I seem
00:35:23	...but for you to resign now,
00:35:26	...on this issue of the budgets for the
00:35:30	You must not do it.
00:35:32	I have no choice.
00:35:34	I'm pledged to economy
00:35:37	I gave my word.
00:35:39	How can I accept this
00:35:43	May I say that public money has
00:35:46	...and the nation has survived.
00:35:49	As I understand,
00:35:51	...are willing to accept this bill.
00:35:54	Then why do you feel it
00:35:57	In addition to being leader of
00:35:59	...I'm also chancellor
00:36:02	I am responsible
00:36:05	Why resign? In protest?
00:36:09	The country will not be grateful.
00:36:11	...isn't this a matter
00:36:14	Withdraw this resignation.
00:36:17	The prime minister
00:36:20	I have his letter here.
00:36:24	Mr. Buckle, I came to you,
00:36:29	...in the hope that you, of all people,
00:36:34	I see.
00:36:48	The Times has criticised
00:36:50	...when we thought it necessary.
00:36:52	But we will not lend a hand
00:37:03	Will you, at least...
00:37:06	...publish both my letter and
00:37:10	No.
00:37:12	They are private communications
00:37:16	To publish his letter...
00:37:18	...I would have to have
00:37:21	That you will never get.
00:37:29	I presume I shall see the news
00:37:33	Yes. Tomorrow.
00:37:39	Randolph!
00:37:42	Randolph!
00:37:51	Randolph.
00:37:57	Randolph.
00:37:58	Quite a surprise for you.
00:38:07	It is true.
00:38:08	It must be. It's in The Times, isn't it?
00:38:14	Last night, you knew.
00:38:16	You knew then,
00:38:19	When you said you were going to
00:38:22	I saw no reason
00:38:28	But you've worked so hard.
00:38:32	Yes, I'm very tired.
00:38:35	Why don't we take a holiday?
00:38:37	We've arranged to be home at
00:38:42	Mr. Moore, my lord.
00:38:45	Oh, dear, yes.
00:38:57	- Good morning, Lady Randolph.
00:39:00	- Lord Randolph.
00:39:02	Now, be a good fellow,
00:39:06	No, thank you. I...
00:39:09	...if I can ever serve you in a private
00:39:13	Very kind of you.
00:39:14	- Do sit down.
00:39:18	I really must go.
00:39:22	I'll see you to the door.
00:39:38	I'll see myself out, Lady Randolph. I-
00:39:45	In all my 20 years
00:39:49	...I have never served a more able
00:39:54	He has flung himself
00:39:57	He will never reach it again.
00:40:05	Winston, hurry up.
00:40:37	The dev oted Mr. Moore
00:40:40	...and died shortly thereafter.
00:40:44	I can see my father now...
00:40:47	...in a somewhat different light
00:40:51	I have long since passed
00:40:55	...and I understand very clearly...
00:40:57	...the suicidal nature
00:41:01	My mother remained, as always...
00:41:04	...loyal and steadfast.
00:41:21	A light on Marmion's visage spread
00:41:24	And fired his glazing eye:
00:41:26	With dying hand, above his head
00:41:28	He shook the fragment of his blade
00:41:30	And shouted, "Victory!
00:41:32	Charge, Chester, charge!
00:41:34	On, Stanley, on!"
00:41:35	Were the last words of Marmion.
00:41:42	"Searest Mother and Father...
00:41:43	...two weeks from Monday...
00:41:45	...there is to be prize-giving
00:41:48	I have memorised 600 lines from
00:41:51	...and if I can get
00:41:54	...which I will do,
00:41:57	So will you please both come down?
00:41:59	Everyone will be there.
00:42:02	...if you were there
00:42:04	You have never been down
00:42:08	And this would be a perfect time.
00:42:10	So, dearest Mummy and Papa...
00:42:11	...please, please, please,
00:42:15	Your loving son,
00:42:18	And under that great battle
00:42:20	The earth with blood was red
00:42:22	And, lik e the Pomptine fog at morn
00:42:25	The dust hung overhead
00:42:27	And louder still and louder
00:42:30	Rose from the dark ened field
00:42:32	The braying of the war-horns
00:42:34	The clang of sword and shield
00:42:38	Come in.
00:42:40	Oh, Dr. Roose, do come in.
00:42:43	- Thank you.
00:42:46	Oh, do sit down.
00:42:49	Will you have a cup
00:42:51	Lady Randolph, I should like you
00:42:54	...whom I have consulted.
00:42:58	But I thought he was getting better.
00:43:00	I am sorry to have to tell you, madame,
00:43:03	You must, I fear,
00:43:06	- Dr. Bluzzard.
00:43:08	- ... with Lady Randolph.
00:43:10	...but I see no necessity to be brutal.
00:43:12	What are you talking about?
00:43:15	Lady Randolph...
00:43:17	...it is my sad duty to tell you...
00:43:19	...that Lord Randolph is suffering from
00:43:23	From which, at the most,
00:43:27	Stop!
00:43:32	What are you telling me?
00:43:34	You're talking about a man
00:43:37	Lady Randolph, please believe
00:43:42	Do sit down.
00:43:50	May we?
00:43:58	Lady Randolph, I am a specialist...
00:44:01	...and what I have to tell you is...
00:44:02	...I am sorry to say,
00:44:08	But what is the cure?
00:44:10	There is no cure.
00:44:17	But what is it?
00:44:21	Let us call it...
00:44:23	...an inflammation of the brain.
00:44:26	In the years to come,
00:44:30	...although he will seem at times
00:44:33	...in fact,
00:44:37	He will suffer paralysis in his limbs...
00:44:40	...and his speech will become impaired.
00:44:44	There will be periods of violence.
00:44:51	I am sorry, believe me.
00:45:01	Is it true?
00:45:04	It can't be.
00:45:07	It isn't true, is it?
00:45:10	Yes.
00:45:12	Yes, I'm afraid it is.
00:45:20	Oh, my God.
00:45:23	Randolph.
00:45:30	Does he know?
00:45:32	No. And in our opinion,
00:45:37	Lady Randolph?
00:45:39	Yes?
00:45:44	How recently have you had...
00:45:46	...physical relations
00:45:52	Why do you ask?
00:45:54	Forgive me, but it is a matter
00:45:58	I beg you.
00:46:04	Not for a considerable period.
00:46:13	If it is necessary for you to know...
00:46:15	...perhaps not for...
00:46:20	...a considerable time.
00:46:25	- Thank God.
00:46:30	Neither you nor the two boys
00:46:34	But I'm afraid there must be
00:46:37	...between you and your husband...
00:46:40	...ever again.
00:46:50	Good morning, Mother.
00:46:53	Good morning, Winston.
00:47:14	Winston!
00:47:16	Go to your room and stay...
00:47:17	...until you learn how to behave in
00:47:21	Yes, Father.
00:47:37	Don't you think
00:47:41	His manners are atrocious.
00:47:44	I know.
00:47:46	But most boys are
00:47:49	To the best of my memory,
00:47:54	I do not recall grunting at table
00:47:59	Randolph, we haven't
00:48:02	And he does worship you.
00:48:06	- But you were a bit harsh.
00:48:16	You don't really think that, do you?
00:48:20	Well, if you ever spoke
00:48:23	...I'd feel as if you didn't
00:48:30	Of course.
00:48:33	Perhaps I should
00:48:35	Oh, that would be nice.
00:48:37	- Yes, I think I'll do it now.
00:48:41	No. Now would be best.
00:49:00	Father.
00:49:06	I'm awfully sorry, Father.
00:49:11	I'm sure you will be.
00:49:13	- We won't talk about it anymore.
00:49:21	You know, Winston...
00:49:23	...the world of politics can be
00:49:27	And I have my share of problems
00:49:31	The things I do are misjudged.
00:49:34	Things I say are often distorted.
00:49:40	Perhaps that's why
00:49:44	Oh, no, Father. You're a great man.
00:49:47	Everyone knows Lord Salisbury
00:49:50	And you'll show him. All of them.
00:49:54	Thank you.
00:49:56	Thank you, my boy.
00:49:59	Anyway, I think...
00:50:02	...older people aren't always...
00:50:03	...particularly considerate
00:50:07	They forget what it was like
00:50:10	Sometimes,
00:50:12	...they speak more harshly than
00:50:15	Yes, I know, Father.
00:50:18	Well, I think there have been times
00:50:22	Perhaps this morning.
00:50:24	But I would never...
00:50:26	...wish you to feel...
00:50:28	...that I don't care
00:50:33	Because I do.
00:50:36	Thank you, Papa.
00:50:42	I say, Winston...
00:50:43	...your collection has become
00:50:46	You're rather short of artillery,
00:50:49	Yes, Father. Only five field guns.
00:50:55	Yes, well. Now, that's not really...
00:50:58	It was one of the three or four...
00:51:00	...long, intimate conversations with him
00:51:07	He spok e in the most wonderful
00:51:11	Then when he inspected my troops...
00:51:13	...he displayed such a knowledge
00:51:17	...that it would have astounded me...
00:51:19	...had I not already been aware
00:51:22	Winston.
00:51:25	When you grow up,
00:51:29	Would you like me to, Father?
00:51:31	No, it's what you would like
00:51:33	Well...
00:51:36	...I'm awfully good at history.
00:51:38	Especially about wars and battles
00:51:42	Yes, Father, I'd like to very much.
00:51:44	- Very much.
00:51:47	We'll talk about that again later.
00:51:49	There's an army class
00:51:52	I'll have a chat with Welldon,
00:51:54	Yes.
00:52:00	Goodbye, Winston.
00:52:02	Goodbye, Father.
00:52:07	Womany.
00:52:09	- Womany!
00:52:11	Father talked to me
00:52:13	And he was so kind.
00:52:16	The army?
00:52:20	The army?
00:52:22	He's our son, but we
00:52:24	He's no scholar.
00:52:26	Can you imagine him
00:52:29	...or cutting any kind
00:52:32	So unless you see
00:52:36	You see, the army's all that's left.
00:52:40	We have to get him into Sandhurst.
00:52:41	And that, of course,
00:52:47	The army.
00:52:53	Well, that's three or four years off,
00:52:58	Unfortunately, it took not one...
00:53:01	...but three examinations
00:53:20	Come in.
00:53:27	Did my letter come, Father?
00:53:30	I've been accepted. I passed.
00:53:36	You seem very pleased
00:53:38	I'm afraid I don't share
00:53:41	But I passed.
00:53:43	Yes, you passed.
00:53:46	There are two ways of passing
00:53:49	...one that does you credit
00:53:51	As usual,
00:53:53	Seventh from the bottom
00:53:58	But I did pass.
00:54:00	Yes. You passed...
00:54:05	...but you failed
00:54:08	You merely
00:54:10	...which everybody knows
00:54:14	Now, that will cost me an extra...
00:54:17	...200 pounds a year
00:54:20	This after all the
00:54:22	...and all the trouble I went to with
00:54:27	...one of the finest regiments
00:54:30	But I only failed the infantry
00:54:34	- I'm sorry.
00:54:37	You are sorry?
00:54:39	Winston, how many times have I
00:54:43	You've had
00:54:45	Your mother and I have
00:54:47	...to make life easy for you.
00:54:50	- Eton? You mean Harrow-
00:54:53	...an embarrassment.
00:55:00	You're my greatest disappointment.
00:55:04	You lie, you shirk, you boast!
00:55:13	You care nothing for anyone
00:55:17	Ever since you were a child,
00:55:20	...a problem to me.
00:55:22	Nothing but trouble and heartache.
00:55:26	What's to become of you, boy?
00:55:28	No, you're no longer a boy,
00:55:31	- No, Father, I- I'm 19.
00:55:40	Winston...
00:55:42	...if you do not change your ways
00:55:46	...if you do not face up
00:55:50	...if you don't buckle
00:55:55	...I can accept no further responsibility
00:56:00	If you don't change...
00:56:03	...you'll become just another...
00:56:06	...public-school failure,
00:56:10	...living out a shabby and a miserable
00:56:17	Do you understand me, Winston?
00:56:21	Yes, Father.
00:56:34	Nevertheless, once I became
00:56:38	...I acquired a new status
00:56:42	And, when I was on leave...
00:56:44	...I was sometimes allowed
00:56:48	I dearly loved these outings.
00:56:51	I had no idea that he had
00:56:58	Lord Randolph.
00:56:59	- General.
00:57:02	- This your boy?
00:57:05	Winston, you have the privilege
00:57:10	How do you do, sir.
00:57:12	Sandhurst, eh? Good, good.
00:57:15	See you in India one day, right?
00:57:17	I hope so, sir. I'd like to serve
00:57:20	I mean, in the field, sir.
00:57:22	You like a bit of gunpowder, do you?
00:57:26	Well, young fellow,
00:57:28	...and if ever there's another war,
00:57:32	...I'll find a place for you.
00:57:34	I give you my word.
00:57:41	Ambition's a good thing
00:57:44	...but one mustn't
00:57:48	Yes, Father.
00:57:58	Hello, Joe.
00:58:01	Randolph.
00:58:03	I was going to write
00:58:05	...on this young man's
00:58:06	Excellent, Austen.
00:58:09	Thank you, sir.
00:58:11	You should be
00:58:15	Yes, I thought it was
00:58:18	You've grown, Winston.
00:58:19	- Be an officer soon, eh?
00:58:35	- Father, I- I've been thinking.
00:58:38	Arthur Balfour is
00:58:41	They're very close,
00:58:44	And now that
00:58:46	...he must be
00:58:49	I was just wondering...
00:58:51	I mean, when I have some leave,
00:58:57	I mean, you were your
00:59:06	They fancy Rosebery's
00:59:09	He's a handsome-enough fellow.
00:59:12	The breeding's there, but
00:59:15	You know? Character.
00:59:20	No, I don't see him winning the race.
00:59:29	It was not...
00:59:32	...so long ago...
00:59:36	- Excuse me.
00:59:39	- Excuse me. Hello.
00:59:41	- Hello, how are you?
00:59:44	...a previous statement.
00:59:49	A previous statement...
00:59:55	...made by me...
00:59:58	...on a previous occasion...
01:00:02	...honourable members may recall.
01:00:13	And so I repeat...
01:00:17	...if I may...
01:00:21	...on that...
01:00:24	On that o-
01:00:30	On that o- Occasion...
01:00:41	On that occasion...
01:00:48	...honourable members
01:00:55	Her Majesty's government...
01:01:03	Her Majesty's government...
01:01:07	...are spending
01:01:12	...on army and naval operations.
01:01:17	They are doing so...
01:01:21	They are-
01:01:24	They are doing so...
01:01:26	...without regard to the pledges
01:01:36	Without regard.
01:01:42	They are doing so...
01:01:43	...without regard to the pledges
01:01:47	Without regard...
01:01:49	...to the will or voice of parliament.
01:02:14	That's what I... said.
01:02:24	Must have...
01:02:26	...had a reason.
01:02:37	Come along, old friend.
01:03:00	He was only 46.
01:03:03	Had he lived
01:03:06	...he could not have
01:03:09	But all my dreams
01:03:12	...of entering parliament
01:03:17	...were ended.
01:03:23	We buried him near Blenheim...
01:03:27	...where both he and I were born.
01:03:39	His friend Lord Rosebery
01:03:43	"He was human, eminently human...
01:03:46	...full of faults, as he himself knew.
01:03:50	But not base or unpardonable faults.
01:03:54	Pugnacious, outrageous...
01:03:57	...fitful, petulant...
01:03:59	...but eminently
01:04:04	Not a bad epitaph, at that.
01:04:07	Nor one I should mind
01:04:17	Now, there remained for me...
01:04:19	...only to pursue his aims...
01:04:22	...and vindicate his memory.
01:04:46	Parade...
01:04:47	...present arms!
01:05:01	Colour parties, halt!
01:05:07	Parade...
01:05:09	...shoulder arms!
01:05:19	I passed out of Sandhurst
01:05:22	Eighth out of 150.
01:05:26	I mention this
01:05:30	...that I could learn quickly enough
01:06:00	Victoria, by the grace of God...
01:06:03	...Queen, Sefender of the Faith,
01:06:07	...to our trusty and well-beloved
01:06:12	...gentleman, greeting.
01:06:14	We, reposing a special
01:06:17	...in your loyalty,
01:06:21	...constitute and appoint you...
01:06:23	...to be an officer in our land forces
01:06:34	Four months later...
01:06:36	...I lost the one person
01:06:47	Elizabeth. Elizabeth...
01:06:50	...it's Winston.
01:06:57	Do come in.
01:07:09	Winston.
01:07:12	What a good boy you are...
01:07:16	...to come and see your old Everest.
01:07:21	You've grown.
01:07:23	It's the army.
01:07:26	Do you think they'd take me?
01:07:31	I'm afraid I'm not
01:07:34	Oh, you'll get better, Womany.
01:07:44	I was thinking this afternoon
01:07:50	Do you know what he did?
01:07:54	When I retired,
01:07:59	...and he made a special trip
01:08:03	...to talk to Lord Rothschild
01:08:08	Now, wasn't that kind?
01:08:11	And he, with
01:08:18	They were cruel to him.
01:08:21	Lord Salisbury...
01:08:23	...that Arthur Balfour
01:08:28	Supposed to be his friends.
01:08:31	Broke his heart.
01:08:36	You're wet.
01:08:39	- You're soaked through.
01:08:42	You came in the rain? You must
01:08:46	- No. It's all right.
01:08:49	...and you must dry it.
01:08:52	All right, Womany.
01:09:00	Your boots aren't damp, are they?
01:09:03	No. No, they're dry.
01:09:07	Oh, good.
01:09:10	It's what gives you toothache,
01:09:13	Sitting in damp boots.
01:09:19	I know.
01:09:33	Are you enjoying the cavalry, dearie?
01:09:38	Very much, Womany.
01:09:39	Very much.
01:09:44	Next! Arms up.
01:09:47	Next!
01:09:49	Arms up. Next!
01:09:52	Walk on!
01:09:54	Outward turn.
01:09:56	Both rides outward circle!
01:09:59	Sit up! Look up!
01:10:01	Two. Forward. One.
01:10:03	Back to your riding position.
01:10:05	One! Two!
01:10:07	Three! Four!
01:10:09	And one! And two!
01:10:11	And three! And four!
01:10:14	Down the centre.
01:10:19	Walk on.
01:10:21	Come along, Mr. Churchill...
01:10:22	...you'll have to do better
01:10:25	"Mother, darling, India has
01:10:29	And now that you, unfortunately,
01:10:32	...in that American
01:10:34	...I really must go
01:10:37	I could write another book
01:10:40	So, please, please,
01:10:46	By the way, I have met the most
01:10:51	Her name is Pamela Plowden.
01:10:53	We are going to do a tour
01:10:56	...on an elephant.
01:10:59	...because if you walk about...
01:11:01	...the natives have a habit
01:11:04	...and crowding you into the gutter.
01:11:08	Mother, darling, you won't forget
01:11:12	"Sarling, as you ask ed...
01:11:15	...I have written
01:11:17	...and I should be getting
01:11:20	You will be pleased
01:11:23	...that the Prince of Wales
01:11:26	I cannot resist writing you
01:11:29	...to congratulate you
01:11:33	Everyone is reading it.
01:11:37	But your dear mother tells me...
01:11:39	...you are thinking of
01:11:41	...and standing for parliament.
01:11:45	You have plenty of time before you...
01:11:48	...to mak e your name and your friends
01:12:00	And now to Sir Ian Hamilton...
01:12:02	...Lord Roberts, Lord Curzon,
01:12:05	...Lord Cromer,
01:12:08	...the prime minister
01:12:14	Say that I insist on the privilege
01:12:19	Say, as I've already said
01:12:22	...I have no room for Churchill.
01:12:25	- Say that-
01:12:27	Say that time grows short...
01:12:29	...and I have many more important
01:12:31	...and that the matter is closed
01:12:35	And I don't want to hear
01:12:40	You'll- You'll dress it up, of course.
01:12:42	Certainly, sir.
01:13:03	Lady Randolph Churchill...
01:13:06	...widow of
01:13:09	...formerly Miss Jennie Jerome
01:13:15	You play, if I may say so,
01:13:18	It's been said you could appear
01:13:21	...if you desired. And you've given us
01:13:24	Thank you.
01:13:26	It has also been said,
01:13:29	...that you interest yourself a great
01:13:33	...and in his advancement.
01:13:35	But I should be a most
01:13:38	Of course.
01:13:40	But there are those who
01:13:43	...between your efforts
01:13:45	...and your neglect of him
01:13:50	Neglect?
01:13:53	But that was never the case.
01:13:56	That is vicious and hurtful.
01:13:58	My son never lacked a mother's love.
01:14:01	Naturally, when he was a child, he went
01:14:05	At home, he had my attention
01:14:08	...who was with us
01:14:11	Naturally, I was at the same time
01:14:15	- ... as any wife would be.
01:14:18	You do, on occasion...
01:14:19	...entertain or act as hostess
01:14:23	His Royal Highness finds you
01:14:29	You are at liberty to think so.
01:14:32	But if you are insinuating
01:14:35	Not at all, dear lady. Not at all.
01:14:39	I am perfectly calm.
01:14:42	Then we can proceed.
01:14:43	You are aware your name has been
01:14:47	...Count Charles Kinsky,
01:14:54	I don't know what
01:14:58	We are friends.
01:15:00	- We have been friends for many years.
01:15:04	Friends. Yet, at one time, there
01:15:08	...that your marriage to Lord Randolph
01:15:11	In the event of a divorce,
01:15:13	There was never
01:15:15	- You and Count Kinsky are still friends?
01:15:24	Charles was married shortly
01:15:27	Three weeks before,
01:15:30	He has remained there ever since.
01:15:33	He has great responsibilities there.
01:15:35	One last question.
01:15:38	What precisely was the nature
01:15:44	It is well-known.
01:15:46	It was caused by overwork.
01:15:48	Yes. But the symptoms were
01:15:52	I don't know what you mean.
01:15:54	Surely you were aware
01:15:56	- I think this has gone far enough.
01:16:00	Is it? Why should it be?
01:16:03	Why should it be any concern
01:16:06	The public is everyone.
01:16:10	Why? What right?
01:16:13	I don't know anything
01:16:15	I only know about the right
01:16:17	Oh, come, come, Lady Randolph.
01:16:20	Surely the word " syphilis"
01:16:29	Are you content?
01:16:33	Have you heard?
01:16:35	We've had a death. Young Chapman.
01:16:39	-21 st Lancers.
01:16:41	Pity. Just when he was going
01:16:45	- Yes.
01:16:49	- Yes.
01:16:52	- What?
01:16:55	- Are you mad?
01:16:58	Firstly, if the general twigged...
01:17:00	...he'd have our balls for breakfast.
01:17:03	Surely you don't have any use
01:17:07	None at all.
01:17:09	- But his mother's a smasher.
01:17:14	I say, you dog.
01:17:16	- Do you know her?
01:17:18	But I'd give anything to meet her.
01:17:20	So, come on, what do you say?
01:17:22	There's not a chance in the world
01:21:04	War office to
01:21:07	"You will proceed to the 21 st Lancers
01:21:11	In the event of injury
01:21:15	...no charge will be made
01:21:19	Sign here, please. Three copies. "
01:21:22	"I say, Churchill,
01:21:25	...have an interesting
01:21:27	...which, as a journalist,
01:21:30	If you should, unfortunately,
01:21:32	...will you try to
01:21:55	Forward, halt!
01:22:13	Chapman!
01:22:16	I say, Chapman?
01:22:19	Oh, sorry, sir. It's Churchill, sir.
01:22:23	Yes, of course, Churchill.
01:22:24	Chapman's the one who's dead.
01:22:26	What condition's your horse in?
01:22:28	First-rate.
01:22:30	Oh, good. Now, you're the one
01:22:34	Report up forward to Colonel
01:22:37	Yes, sir.
01:22:42	Oh, and Chapman-
01:22:45	- ... my compliments to the colonel.
01:22:58	Sir. Lieutenant Chapman re-
01:23:01	Sorry, sir.
01:23:03	Lieutenant Churchill reporting
01:23:06	- Come with me.
01:23:09	- Your horse reasonably fit?
01:23:11	I've a message I want you to deliver.
01:23:14	I want you to see the situation...
01:23:16	...so that you can
01:23:18	Sir.
01:23:19	Now, our estimate is something
01:23:22	Though it may not seem like it,
01:23:25	I want you to report on what I've told
01:23:29	...personally to General Kitchener.
01:23:31	Oh, God!
01:23:33	Oh, I'm sorry. I mean, yes, sir.
01:23:35	- You all right, Chapman?
01:23:47	What do I say?
01:23:50	"Lieutenant Churchill reporting to
01:23:54	He'll send me home.
01:24:00	He'll skin me alive
01:24:04	I'll be ruined.
01:24:07	Oh, my God!
01:24:21	Oh, well. I died for my country.
01:25:22	Sir, I come with a report
01:25:27	The Dervish army is advancing...
01:25:29	...between yourself and
01:25:31	Colonel Martin estimates their strength
01:25:35	I saw them 40 minutes ago.
01:25:39	- They're moving rapidly, you say?
01:25:43	How long do you think I've got?
01:25:46	I would say an hour, sir.
01:25:48	Possibly an hour and a half.
01:26:00	An hour and a half
01:26:04	I hope.
01:27:01	Fire!
01:27:29	They're breaking, sir!
01:27:51	Suring the mopping-up
01:27:54	...I took part in
01:27:57	...the last full charge ever
01:28:05	Sound the trot.
01:28:15	Sound troop to the right.
01:28:31	Sound the charge!
01:28:34	Charge!
01:28:37	Charge!
01:29:07	Charge!
01:29:20	Bloody hell!
01:29:59	Mr. Winston Churchill...
01:30:01	...war correspondent, author,
01:30:05	...and candidate for parliament
01:30:09	Twenty-four, actually. In November.
01:30:11	Thank you, Mr. Churchill.
01:30:13	There is gossip that
01:30:16	...where you were known
01:30:18	...a publicity seeker
01:30:21	...pushing, aggressive
01:30:27	Forgive me. I'm sorry.
01:30:29	I was wondering why
01:30:31	...always seems to believe
01:30:34	At Sandhurst,
01:30:36	...everything from
01:30:38	And I had to sue for libel, and win,
01:30:43	As to what you have just said,
01:30:46	I thought I had served
01:30:49	- ... at some danger to myself.
01:30:52	Some officers have stated that
01:30:55	...in your new book, The River War,
01:30:58	- Have you read the book?
01:31:00	Then perhaps you should read it.
01:31:02	My statements concerning his atrocious
01:31:05	...were entirely factual.
01:31:07	As to our victory, although
01:31:10	...they were no match
01:31:12	I see. Your father also had...
01:31:14	...a weakness for offending people,
01:31:18	I wouldn't call it a weakness.
01:31:20	I would describe it as his strength.
01:31:23	And I would attribute it
01:31:26	My father was a brilliant man.
01:31:30	Yes. Actually...
01:31:32	...you were not very well acquainted
01:31:36	Not as well as
01:31:39	However, solitary trees...
01:31:42	...if they grow at all, grow strong.
01:31:45	Indeed. Something you've read?
01:31:48	No. Something I have written.
01:31:50	In my new book, The River War.
01:31:52	You really should read it.
01:31:55	Reverting to your father's enemies...
01:31:57	...do you imagine they will
01:32:01	I don't know what you
01:32:03	Oh, come now! Lord Salisbury,
01:32:06	Mr. Balfour, who supported
01:32:09	...who destroyed your father's
01:32:12	- And the others.
01:32:15	They may have disagreed at times...
01:32:16	...but that's the nature of politics,
01:32:19	Lord Salisbury has been very kind
01:32:23	Then you have no cause
01:32:25	No wrong to right?
01:32:29	Vendetta?
01:32:31	That's an Italian word, isn't it?
01:32:36	Why are you so friendly with David
01:32:39	- I like people.
01:32:41	A young man starting out
01:32:43	Don't you think in these times,
01:32:46	...for wealthy and privileged
01:32:49	I am not wealthy.
01:32:52	And I support my mother
01:32:54	But why exactly do you wish to stand
01:32:59	- To serve my country.
01:33:01	- Yes. Is there anything wrong in that?
01:33:06	Who are you to aspire to the
01:33:09	What do you have to offer, other than
01:33:14	Only myself.
01:33:17	I believe in myself.
01:33:19	I believe in my destiny.
01:33:21	Really?
01:33:23	Have you consulted
01:33:25	As a matter of fact, I have.
01:33:27	She agrees with me.
01:33:30	- Is it a crime to be 24?
01:33:34	What would you like me to do?
01:33:38	Be seen but not heard?
01:33:40	Close my eyes and ears?
01:33:42	Be a child forever?
01:33:44	Must we always be ruled by old men?
01:33:47	Doesn't every old man in politics...
01:33:50	...betray the wonderful things
01:33:53	And by doing that
01:33:56	I think there is room
01:33:59	...many young men,
01:34:02	If I could, I would say this
01:34:05	" Come on. You are needed
01:34:09	You must take your places
01:34:12	Twenty to 25, those are the years.
01:34:16	Don't be content
01:34:19	Yes, you will make mistakes.
01:34:21	But as long as
01:34:24	...you cannot hurt the world.
01:34:29	She was made to be wooed
01:34:32	She has lived and thrived
01:34:39	Well...
01:34:41	- Something else you have written?
01:34:45	No, it's something
01:34:48	Really?
01:34:49	In your autobiography, no doubt.
01:34:52	Yes.
01:34:54	Yes, I think I will write
01:34:58	I think I'll have
01:35:01	Yes. Well...
01:35:05	The Oldham Evening Chronicle:
01:35:08	"Young Mr. Winston Churchill's
01:35:11	...has met with defeat.
01:35:14	...as a correspondent
01:35:25	In South Africa,
01:35:28	...to encounter
01:35:31	...whom I had met in India,
01:35:36	He invited me to go out
01:35:39	...in an armoured train.
01:35:46	Going back?
01:35:48	This is as far as our orders take us.
01:35:52	Seems quiet enough.
01:35:54	Let's go and have a spot of breakfast,
01:36:11	You know, Haldane,
01:36:15	After the Malakand Field Force,
01:36:18	- Do you remember?
01:36:20	Well, I never did
01:36:23	Now, if you were to write
01:36:26	A medal for the Tirah?
01:36:29	Winston, don't you ever relax?
01:36:32	I can't. I'm almost 25.
01:36:35	Down!
01:36:37	Look out!
01:36:39	On the left!
01:36:41	- Carry on, sarge!
01:37:04	Steady now, lads. Take aim.
01:37:33	Brakes!
01:37:47	- Come on, lads. On your feet!
01:37:53	Get up! Take posts!
01:37:57	Haldane, we're off the rails!
01:38:02	Shall I go up front
01:38:04	Good idea!
01:38:06	Set up, boys!
01:38:09	- On target.
01:38:37	Hey, where are you going?
01:38:39	I'm a civilian.
01:38:42	Come back here!
01:38:44	- Come here! Listen!
01:38:47	Listen! You've got more chance of being
01:38:51	No one ever gets shot
01:38:54	You get back in there!
01:38:57	And when this is over,
01:38:59	That's a promise. Come on!
01:39:04	- Can this engine still run?
01:39:06	The track's blocked,
01:39:09	- ... uncoupled from that truck.
01:39:14	- And get it over on its side.
01:39:16	And there's no way of doing that.
01:39:19	We can try.
01:39:25	Is there an officer here?
01:39:28	Yes! What is it?
01:39:30	We have to uncouple that truck there
01:39:34	- Sergeant, bring a dozen men.
01:39:36	Who was that? A Boer?
01:39:38	Worse than that. He's crazy!
01:39:45	- Give him a hand.
01:39:47	Right.
01:39:52	It's moving.
01:40:10	Come on! Out you come! Outside!
01:40:13	Come on, that's it, lads!
01:40:16	You men, over here!
01:40:20	Right, come on.
01:40:22	Come on, men! Come on down!
01:40:29	Come on, there! Heave!
01:40:32	Come on! Heave!
01:40:34	Heave!
01:40:55	Keep it up! Hold it up!
01:40:59	- Heave!
01:41:01	Heave!
01:41:04	Push it!
01:41:09	Right, take cover!
01:41:11	Come on!
01:41:28	- Did it, by God!
01:41:32	You said all we had to do was get it
01:41:35	It was too heavy to get off the track.
01:41:37	- Well, I'll have to ram it off now.
01:41:41	- I don't know if the engine'll run.
01:41:47	Good. Now, go ahead.
01:41:50	- I'll have to back her up first.
01:41:54	Well, you don't have to get excited.
01:41:58	Get out of the way!
01:42:21	Right. Now, go ahead.
01:42:23	- And you keep shovelling.
01:42:25	- We could go off the rails, you know.
01:42:28	- Here...
01:42:29	But go on!
01:43:22	Oh, Christ!
01:43:38	Haldane!
01:43:41	Haldane!
01:43:44	Move, fusilier! Move, move, move!
01:43:47	The track ahead's clear,
01:43:50	- Anyway, the couplings are smashed.
01:43:53	Can we load the wounded
01:43:55	Yes.
01:43:56	Well, that's something, I suppose.
01:44:00	Thanks, Winston.
01:44:02	So shall I.
01:44:06	Wounded onto- Onto the engine!
01:44:09	The rest of us go on foot,
01:44:11	Come on, everyone out now!
01:44:14	Wounded on the engine!
01:44:24	Come on, move it on! Move it on!
01:44:32	Easy, easy!
01:44:36	Move around! Move around!
01:44:45	- All right?
01:44:48	All right, go ahead!
01:44:52	Go ahead! As slow as you can.
01:45:13	Slow down, Winston!
01:45:17	Slow down.
01:45:19	- You're getting ahead of them.
01:45:29	Winston, slower!
01:45:32	Slow down, you damn fool!
01:45:35	For God's sake, Winston!
01:45:39	- Hey, slow down.
01:45:41	Slow down, you damned idiot!
01:45:42	I can't, you silly arse.
01:45:52	I'll kill you!
01:45:53	I can't help it.
01:46:34	- Now what?
01:46:37	What, back there? What do I do?
01:46:39	You wait!
01:46:42	You wait ten minutes. And then if

01:48:18	But I will be if you won't
01:48:21	- Never.
01:48:23	We can't use you, Winston.
01:48:25	You don't know the country
01:48:28	If we got separated,
01:48:32	Anyway, you'd be the first
01:48:34	Play.
01:48:36	Haldane, I'm going mad in here.
01:48:40	And tomorrow's my birthday.
01:48:42	- Congratulations.
01:48:47	I'll be 25.
01:48:51	I can't stay cooped up in here
01:48:57	Please, Haldane.
01:48:59	You said you'd remember
01:49:01	Do you remember now?
01:49:07	I wouldn't have been caught
01:49:14	No.
01:49:16	Do shut up, Brockie.
01:49:20	I can't think.
01:49:25	What's for dinner tonight?
01:49:34	They're too close.
01:49:40	You're afraid.
01:49:43	Well, see for yourself.
01:50:05	- I'll go and look too.
01:50:15	It was maddening.
01:50:17	And besides, normally there was
01:50:21	The thought crossed my mind
01:50:27	Suddenly, I felt it was now or never.
01:50:30	And the impulse was
01:51:00	But how was I
01:51:03	Then I heard a heavenly sound.
01:51:17	Who's there?
01:51:19	It's Churchill. Keep quiet.
01:51:22	Churchill? Where are you?
01:51:25	- What are you doing out there?
01:51:27	Just go and tell Haldane and Brockie
01:51:31	Oh, I get it. Good show!

01:57:08	Not very comfortable, I'm afraid.
01:57:11	But you mustn't move away from here,
01:57:13	I'll try to bring you more food
01:57:17	Of course. It's very cosy.

02:09:21	The secretary of state for war
02:09:26	...indeed demanding...
02:09:29	...a great deal of money.
02:09:32	I do not think he should have it.
02:09:37	I say it humbly...
02:09:39	...but with, I hope, becoming pride...
02:09:42	...no one has a better right
02:09:46	For it is a cause I have inherited.
02:09:48	And it is a cause for which
02:09:52	...made the greatest sacrifice
02:09:56	I am glad the House
02:09:59	...after an interval of 15 years...
02:10:02	...to lift again the tattered flag...
02:10:05	...that I found lying
02:10:11	It is quite recent history.
02:10:14	Lord Randolph
02:10:17	Lord Salisbury was prime minister.
02:10:22	And on this same issue of economy...
02:10:25	...Lord Randolph Churchill
02:10:29	Forever.
02:10:34	But wise words, sir...
02:10:37	...stand the test of time.
02:10:40	And his words were wise.
02:10:45	I have frequently been surprised...
02:10:48	...since I have been in this House...
02:10:51	...to hear with what composure
02:10:55	...members and even ministers...
02:10:59	...talk of a European war.
02:11:03	I say, sir...
02:11:05	...we must not regard modern war...
02:11:08	...as a kind of game
02:11:12	...and with good luck
02:11:14	...play adroitly for an evening.
02:11:16	And when we have had enough,
02:11:20	Hear, hear!
02:11:21	Oh, no, sir.
02:11:24	It is no longer a game.
02:11:28	A European war...
02:11:31	...cannot be anything but
02:11:36	...which, if we are ever to enjoy
02:11:41	...must demand, perhaps for years...
02:11:44	...the whole manhood of the nation...
02:11:47	...the entire suspension
02:11:50	...and the concentrating
02:11:53	...of every vital agency
02:11:57	- Hear, hear!
02:11:59	It may be that the human race
02:12:02	...never to learn from its mistakes.
02:12:05	We are the only animals
02:12:08	...who periodically set out
02:12:12	...for the best, the noblest,
02:12:17	We know better...
02:12:18	...but we do it again and again,
02:12:23	It may be that our empire too,
02:12:27	...like all those that
02:12:29	...to continue to spill and waste
02:12:35	...no matter what we say
02:12:38	...or think or believe
02:12:43	But thank God for us...
02:12:47	...there is still such a thing
02:12:52	And in spite of
02:12:56	...it is known that
02:12:58	And it is upon the whole that
02:13:02	- British influence is a healthy...
02:13:07	...and a kindly influence.
02:13:09	And so I say, sir...
02:13:12	...at this particular
02:13:15	...we would make a fatal bargain...
02:13:19	...if we allow the moral force...
02:13:22	...which this country

02:13:30	...for the sake of the costly,
02:13:34	...dangerous military playthings...
02:13:38	...upon which the secretary
02:13:41	...has set his heart.
