358
00:22:08,790 --> 00:22:11,900
It is my humble privilege
to serve Her Majesty.
359
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:20,940
I was the one
who chose your carpets.
360
00:22:22,940 --> 00:22:24,130
Carpets?
361
00:22:24,140 --> 00:22:26,660
Yes. The viceroy
asked Mr. Tyler, sir,
362
00:22:26,670 --> 00:22:28,630
but actually, it was me.
363
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,630
Y-You have to have
a very good eye
364
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,730
for the carpets.
365
00:22:31,740 --> 00:22:35,740
Uh, like... This is
a very nice one, for example.
366
00:22:35,750 --> 00:22:37,970
Very, very tight knots.
367
00:22:37,980 --> 00:22:40,680
The art of carpets,
uh, came to India
368
00:22:40,690 --> 00:22:44,810
from Persia
with the great Emperor Akbar.
369
00:22:44,820 --> 00:22:47,720
The s-skill of a carpet
370
00:22:47,730 --> 00:22:50,790
is to bring all the different
kinds of threads together
371
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,660
and weave something
we can all stand on.
372
00:22:54,670 --> 00:22:58,160
You seem to know
a great deal about it.
373
00:22:58,170 --> 00:23:02,100
My family were carpet makers,
374
00:23:02,110 --> 00:23:04,800
but now I write in the book.
375
00:23:04,810 --> 00:23:06,970
Life is like a carpet.
376
00:23:06,980 --> 00:23:10,790
We weave in and out
to make a pattern.
377
00:23:12,790 --> 00:23:14,790
That is a very beautiful image.
378
00:23:16,790 --> 00:23:17,950
Look.
379
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,980
Here is the bird of freedom
380
00:23:19,990 --> 00:23:22,330
caught forever in the design.
381
00:23:26,330 --> 00:23:30,390
So, in India, you are a poet?
382
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,340
No.
383
00:23:31,341 --> 00:23:34,240
In India, I make
a ledger of the prisoners.
384
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,670
We are all prisoners,
Mr. Karim.
385
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,970
Apparently, he's a poet.
386
00:24:03,970 --> 00:24:05,930

387
00:24:05,940 --> 00:24:07,760
of a quarter of all of mankind.
388
00:24:07,770 --> 00:24:10,210
Do you really think
they give a hoot about us, huh?
389
00:24:11,210 --> 00:24:13,840
We'll bloody well freeze
to death at this rate.
390
00:24:13,850 --> 00:24:15,170
Cut all the nicey-nicey crap,
391
00:24:15,180 --> 00:24:17,010

the hell out of here.
392
00:24:17,020 --> 00:24:18,440

393
00:24:18,450 --> 00:24:19,880

this is the third day in a row.
398
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,840
VICTORIA:
So, Mr. Abdul,
399
00:24:54,850 --> 00:24:56,180
may I ask
400
00:24:56,190 --> 00:24:59,050
what part of India you're from?
401
00:24:59,060 --> 00:25:01,080
Uh, I'm from Agra.
402
00:25:01,090 --> 00:25:02,950
The... the Taj Mahal?
403
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,450
You have been to the Taj Mahal?
404
00:25:04,460 --> 00:25:05,360
No.
405
00:25:05,361 --> 00:25:07,390
Oh, it is
the most marvelous building
406
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,060
in the entire world,
Your Majesty.
407
00:25:10,070 --> 00:25:12,530
The crown of palaces.
408
00:25:12,540 --> 00:25:15,530
It was built by Shah Jahan
to remember his dead wife,
409
00:25:15,540 --> 00:25:19,840
uh, who died at childbirth
during their 14th child.
410
00:25:19,850 --> 00:25:20,850
Goodness.
411
00:25:21,210 --> 00:25:23,110
He was so upset with grief,
412
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:24,870
he brought
the greatest architects
413
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,010
from Persia,
414
00:25:27,020 --> 00:25:28,340
uh, Afghanistan,
415
00:25:28,350 --> 00:25:30,380
to build the Taj Mahal.
416
00:25:30,390 --> 00:25:33,320
It certainly sounds
a handsome building.
417
00:25:33,330 --> 00:25:35,250
I'd very much like to see it.
418
00:25:35,260 --> 00:25:36,990
Oh, it is beautiful,
Your Majesty.
419
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,250
Uh, it's all white marble.
420
00:25:39,260 --> 00:25:42,020
All that beauty
for the dead queen.
421
00:25:42,030 --> 00:25:44,260
Hmm. How romantic.
422
00:25:44,270 --> 00:25:47,230
Shah Jahan also built
the Red Fort, uh,
423
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,170
the Gardens of Shalimar,
the Peacock Throne.
424
00:25:50,180 --> 00:25:51,870
The Peacock Throne?
425
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,400
It is the most beautiful
throne in all the world.
426
00:25:54,410 --> 00:25:57,940
And inside the throne
was the Kohinoor.
427
00:25:57,950 --> 00:26:01,090
But I have the Kohinoor.
I wear it as a brooch.
428
00:26:02,090 --> 00:26:03,450
- Do you?
- Yes.
429
00:26:03,460 --> 00:26:06,860
It wasn't very shiny,
so Albert had it recut.
430
00:26:07,860 --> 00:26:09,890
What happened
to the Peacock Throne?
431
00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:10,900
They smashed it up.
432
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,290
How awful.
433
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:15,290
They're always
smashing things up.
434
00:26:15,300 --> 00:26:17,890

have taken the jewels
435
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:19,030
from the Taj Mahal.
436
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,000

437
00:26:21,010 --> 00:26:23,140

438

What happened to Shah Jahan?
445
00:26:42,390 --> 00:26:44,490
He was overthrown by his son
446
00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:47,020
and died in Agra Fort.
447

in the Taj Mahal
449

with his wife, Mumtaz.
450
00:26:53,540 --> 00:26:56,030
They also wrote an inscription.
451
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,130

539
00:31:53,670 --> 00:31:56,510
Hindu or whatever
it is you speak.
540
00:31:57,510 --> 00:31:59,170
A-Are you sure?
541
00:31:59,180 --> 00:32:00,370
Of course I'm sure.
542
00:32:00,380 --> 00:32:01,640
But why would you like
543
00:32:01,650 --> 00:32:03,510
to learn Hindi, Your Majesty?
544
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,510
Well, I'm empress of India.
545
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,780
Look. I've ordered a book.
546
00:32:07,790 --> 00:32:10,910
I want you
to give me private lessons.
547
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,920
I can't teach you Hindi,
Your Majesty.
548

Why ever not?
549
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,790
You are the empress of India.
550
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,200
You should learn Urdu,
551
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:19,200
language of the Mughals.
552
00:32:20,170 --> 00:32:23,660
There are a thousand
languages in India, uh,
553
00:32:23,670 --> 00:32:26,260
but Urdu is the most noble.
554
00:32:26,270 --> 00:32:27,560
May...
555
00:32:27,570 --> 00:32:29,670
In Hindi,
556
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,440
you write like this.

00:32:33,450 --> 00:32:34,870

Hmm.
558
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,270
Huh? But in Urdu, you write
559
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,480

sitting next to a servant.
707
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:23,970
And a Hindu, to boot.
708
00:40:23,980 --> 00:40:26,110
The munshi is a Muslim scholar,
709
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,840
and knows the Koran
off by heart.
710
00:40:28,850 --> 00:40:30,780
And for your information,
711
00:40:30,790 --> 00:40:32,750
he's a servant no longer.
712
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,050
He's to be given
a staff of his own.
713
00:40:35,060 --> 00:40:36,890

Oh, this is absurd.
716
00:40:40,300 --> 00:40:41,960
Letters,
invitations to supper...
717
00:40:41,970 --> 00:40:44,130
you're treating him
like a member of the family.
718
00:40:44,140 --> 00:40:46,360
No, I like Abdul.
719
00:40:46,370 --> 00:40:49,300
Lady Churchill had better
get used to the fact,
720
00:40:49,310 --> 00:40:52,300
as the munshi
is coming on holiday with us.
721
