00:01:01Pull over, private.
00:01:06Grab those shovels.
00:01:10Show us, Lush.
00:01:15Spread out.
00:01:16Find your home.
00:01:21The home of the house is a house.
00:01:23I'm a troll.
00:01:23I'm a troll.
00:01:23With my family, you know how to turn.
00:01:23This is a home of the house.
00:01:23It's a home of the house.
00:01:23That's right.
00:01:43We'll find that in the house.
00:01:48Here.
00:01:53Start digging.
00:02:16We got something.
00:02:48We got something.
00:03:13We got something.
00:03:43What's he asking for?
00:03:46Freedom in a country of his choice, and a generous pension to last the rest of his lifetime.
00:03:55Well, let's see how good it is first.
00:04:02Get it translated.
00:04:21Let's see how good it is.
00:04:25Let's see how good it is.
00:04:35Let's see how good it is.
00:04:44Let's see how good it is.
00:05:06Let's see how good it is.
00:05:17Don't you knock, sir.
00:05:22Let's see how good it is.
00:06:00I'm going to need to speak to the Prime Minister.
00:06:11I need to see the kid.
00:06:30Let's see how good it is.
00:06:42What is written here brings the greatest shame upon this family.
00:06:50Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:06:56Let's see how good it is.
00:07:04Let's see how good it is.
00:07:53Let's see how good it is.
00:08:12The mighty Haringey Arena in London draws a capacity crowd of over 11,000 for the first meeting in Britain
00:08:19of the American Evangelist team headed by Billy Gray.
00:08:23Graham, who wears a slate-gray suit and a modest tie, makes his address from a purple-draped platform.
00:08:30The Bible teaches that all of us are wrong. We have all got a strength. With everyone turned to his
00:08:40own way, and when you turn to your own...
00:08:43It's rare and not entirely reassuring to see religious certainty in someone so young.
00:08:47He's not young. He's my age. Precisely. A child.
00:08:53I think moral authority and spiritual guidance should come from someone with a little knife experience.
00:08:59Not from someone who learnt their trade selling brushes door-to-door in North Carolina.
00:09:04What? There's a humility to that, which I like. But are those people crying?
00:09:08Billy Graham has spoken to more than one and a half million people during...
00:09:11What's happening to this country? Now he sums up his crusade.
00:09:14The people of Great Britain never cried during the war. Now they're weeping like children.
00:09:19I'm calling for a revival that will cause every man and woman to return to their offices and shops and
00:09:25live out the teachings of Christ in their daily relationships.
00:09:29I'm going to preach a gospel, not of despair, but of hope. Hope for the individual. Hope for society. Hope
00:09:38for the world.
00:09:38Turning out in droves for an American zealot. He's not a zealot. He's shouting, darling, any zealot shout.
00:09:46But when you close your eyes, close your ears to God's way, you will soon prefer your own ideas to
00:09:54the ideas of God.
00:09:55You come to a stage where your own evil seems to you good, and God's good seems to be evil.
00:10:10Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Trooper. Happy birthday to you.
00:10:26Happy birthday, Trooper.
00:10:28Good boy.
00:10:33Good shot.
00:10:34Robert.
00:10:37Well done.
00:10:48Oh, no.
00:10:51Now they are losing.
00:10:53It's me. It's me.
00:10:55No, I don't know.
00:10:56It's not good.
00:10:57I'm wrong.
00:10:58This is your hand.
00:10:59Where's your hand?
00:11:12No, no.
00:11:12You look very dash.
00:11:16Ah.
00:11:19Hello.

00:16:58yes sir
00:16:58thank you
00:16:59this one's for mr sweet
00:17:01this one for
00:17:02morning marlowe
00:17:03morning sir
00:17:04monsieur
00:17:05you all
00:17:06all bad
00:17:28take a look at this
00:17:32it's practically an injunction
00:17:35sir
00:17:38are you aware of this
00:17:45i am
00:17:46as historians we have a duty
00:17:48to publish the truth
00:17:50no exceptions
00:17:52otherwise what are we all doing
00:17:55protecting nazis
00:17:56protecting something else
00:17:58yes
00:17:59my hands are tied
00:18:01but his are not
00:18:02that's right
00:18:03i have access to the u.s state department duplicate files
00:18:07including this
00:18:09there's nothing to stop the american government publishing if the british government won't
00:18:14he is
00:18:27at the u.s state department
00:18:44play cards. On arrival in London, my mood was lifted slightly by a large group of
00:18:52welcoming supporters who cheered my name and removed their hats. And my niece, the
00:19:00Queen, sent me one of the hearses.
00:19:07Later in the evening, I feared things would go from bad to worse as we arrived
00:19:12at Fruity's rather drab little house, somewhere in Sussex.
00:19:21Rusey. Your Royal Highness. How are you? Very well. Your Royal Highness. Baba dear. But George
00:19:28excelled, as ever, and revealed the work he had already done. Of course, the true
00:19:33purpose of the visit can't be known to anybody. Should anyone get wind of any job
00:19:38hunting by his Royal Highness, it might be seen as a violation of the agreement
00:19:42made after the application. And his Royal Highness might find himself not only being
00:19:47asked to leave the country, but also without a pension. So this trip must be
00:19:53perceived first and foremost as a literary one. I trust you came prepared. I brought
00:19:59quill and ink. All that notwithstanding, I've started a campaign, gathering friends and
00:20:09supporters. And the only indications are most encouraging. Walter Monckton has agreed to
00:20:13host a dinner. And we've had yeses from Lord Salisbury, Lord Beaverbrook, Lord Dudley, the
00:20:19American ambassador, and the Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd. Oh, Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward have
00:20:26agreed to hold a little supper party for you. Oh, dear Cecil. And his inedible food.
00:20:34Just a small hand.
00:20:59Do we really have to do this? Indulge me. I'm interested. Can you just make up an excuse
00:21:07and say I'm off sinning somewhere? No. Lanky bugger, isn't he? I think he's rather handsome.
00:21:19A door-to-door salesman in a hideous, shiny suit. Where's his box? What box? The one containing
00:21:26his brushes. Oh, no, look. Come on. I'll be late.
00:21:30Hairbrushes. Floorbrushes. Toothbrushes. Do shut up.
00:21:34As I was thinking about what to preach about today, I considered various topics which speak
00:21:41to me personally, but I thought that I would start with a simple question. What is a Christian?
00:21:49The Bible tells us, Colossians 127 says, that a Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells.
00:21:58It's Christ in you. The hope of glory. It means that you have a personal relationship
00:22:06with the Lord Jesus Christ. That encounter has taken place. You have received Christ as
00:22:14Savior. And that is what a Christian is.
00:22:27I enjoyed that very much. You do speak with such wonderful clarity and certainty. I find
00:22:33it very reassuring. And it's not only me. The rest of the country, too, I imagine.
00:22:40Yes. We've been surprised ourselves at the turnout.
00:22:44Really? Well, you shouldn't be. In an increasingly complex world, we all need certainty. And you
00:22:51provide it. Oh, that's not me. Scriptures provide it. Yes, but you illuminate them so well. The great
00:23:02joy that I felt today was that of being a simple congregant, being taught, being led. You see,
00:23:10as head of the Anglican Church, in terms of rank, even the great archbishops of York and Canterbury
00:23:16are below me. Above me there is only God. Well, that must be lonely sometimes. Yes, it is. Which is
00:23:27why
00:23:27as lovely as Queen to be able to just disappear and be... A simple Christian? Yes. Above all things,
00:23:42I do think of myself as just a simple Christian. It's the values of Christian living that root
00:23:50me. Guide me. Define me. Have you always been such a good speaker? I was actually a shy
00:24:04child. No. Mm-hmm. Speaking as a shy child myself, I have to say that I find that very hard
00:24:11to believe. No, ma'am. It's true. The first time I have spoken public, I was 12 years old
00:24:20at school. The school principal told my mother he thought I was a natural. That, of all things,
00:24:27I had a gift.
00:25:26The, of all things, my son. You are a spiritualist,
00:25:29I have no objection to his being.
00:25:32The word crusades troubles me.
00:25:38If the Reverend Graham is the crusader,
00:25:41the implication is that we're heathen.
00:25:44I'm sure I go wrong.
00:25:46Mr. Wheeler-Bennett, sir.
00:25:50Excuse me.
00:25:55Prime Minister, thank you for seeing me.
00:25:57You didn't give me much choice.
00:25:59Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:03Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:08Principled historians.
00:26:10Is that the file in question?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Let's make a start.
00:26:21Ah, there you are.
00:26:23Plotters all.
00:26:24Your Royal Highness.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:26Are the curtains drawn as treason abound?
00:26:29George, thank you so much.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:33Dear Bob.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well.
00:26:36Thank you, sir.
00:26:37We all know why we're here tonight.
00:26:41To see if we can help our dear friend,
00:26:45His Royal Highness,
00:26:45in his quest to find...
00:26:49A final act to this sad drama.
00:26:53And to turn it into a great history play.
00:26:56He seeks a job.
00:26:57A purpose.
00:26:59That's why I'm here.
00:27:01To ask you all my...
00:27:03Council of War.
00:27:05My...
00:27:05My brains trust.
00:27:08Politicians, artists, and philosophers.
00:27:11Something in the military, perhaps?
00:27:12Well, why not?
00:27:13I was made a major general attached to the British military mission in France at the beginning of the war.
00:27:19In a liaising role between us and the French.
00:27:21And I much enjoyed it.
00:27:23Or a position within the Board of Trade.
00:27:25Well, what kind of position?
00:27:27Helping promote Britain's economic interests abroad.
00:27:32The right man in the right position could contribute so much to Britain's economy.
00:27:38Helping boost our much-needed dollar reserves.
00:27:41A man with charm.
00:27:43Contacts.
00:27:43Influence.
00:27:45And the magic of being a former king.
00:27:49Doesn't it all feel a little grubby, Walter?
00:27:52All those grasping international businessmen.
00:27:55The whiff of profit and self-interest.
00:27:58Now, I like the direction we were heading earlier.
00:28:00The idea of a liaison post.
00:28:02Then what about the diplomatic service?
00:28:04Oh, I like that idea.
00:28:06Don't the Americans have these unofficial roving ambassadors nowadays?
00:28:12Yes.
00:28:13They're two in London at the moment.
00:28:15Oh, well, something like that would be ideal.
00:28:18Well, I think we have...
00:28:20My dearest darling Peaches, what a wait is off my mind.
00:28:26Moncton really did come up with the goods, and his friends really do seem to want to help me.
00:28:32Now all I must do is wait, while they discreetly make representations on my behalf.
00:28:40I would say wait and pray, but all taste for prayer has left me.
00:28:45As I survey the madness involving the American evangelist here, what has happened to the people of this country, turning
00:28:54like lemmings to this crusading showman from Charlotte for their inspiration?
00:29:00Rumour reached me that Shirley Temple even invited the fool to preach at Windsor Chapel.
00:29:06Can you imagine the banality of those exchanges?
00:29:11The smugness, self-congratulation, and hypocrisy.
00:29:15What a grotesque occasion that must have been.
00:29:19Oh, now bed calls, and for once, as my head hits the pillow without yours beside me, I can truthfully
00:29:27say all is well.
00:29:30Today was a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:37David.
00:29:41Good morning, sir.
00:29:42You're right to go in.
00:29:43Ready to go in, sir.
00:29:49I received a visit yesterday afternoon from John Wheeler Bennett, the senior historian in charge of publishing the German war
00:29:58files,
00:29:59who informed me that this government was now left with no choice but to publish certain material which both my
00:30:08predecessor, Winston Churchill, and yours, your late father, tried to suppress.
00:30:13What material?
00:30:14The Marburg files map.
00:30:19The Marburg files map.
00:30:57discounts for the
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunter.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended, some British troops...
00:31:11But... America.
00:31:17American troops arrested a German soldier as he was retreating from Trefurt, near Eisenhower, in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:33Bernhard von Lerch.
00:31:36Turns out this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator man, Hitler's personal translator, was Dr. Schmidt, Dr. Paul Schmidt.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:54Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:03When his offices were being evacuated...
00:32:09Dr. Schmidt asked his assistant, von Lerch, to dispose of all the top secret papers which he had placed in
00:32:19archives.
00:32:21And von Lerch duly burned, the vast majority.
00:32:29But he secretly kept the most valuable material, hoping to use it to negotiate his freedom and to escape trial.
00:33:05Among the papers which von Lerch kept back, there was one file...
00:33:09pertaining to anglo-german relations in particular relationship of nazi high command
00:33:16with his royal highness the duke of windsor
00:33:21i think it's fair to say the reality exceeded even our worst fears
00:33:28we did everything we could to contain this that's your lot unaware that a copy had been sent to
00:33:33the americans who are now insisting that this volume of marburg files
00:33:45be published and this is the man you inexplicably let back into the country
00:33:57i hope you have a strong stomach
00:34:07so
00:34:42I don't know.
00:35:15Your Royal Highness.
00:35:17Foreign Secretary.
00:35:19Please.
00:35:22You have loyal and persistent friends, sir.
00:35:26Oh, thank you.
00:35:31Following their representations and having given the matter careful thought, it looks like we now have several options.
00:35:42Please.
00:35:43The first option I'd like you to look at would be the role of ambassador to France.
00:35:59To a happy and purposeful future, his Royal Highness.
00:36:07His Royal Highness.
00:36:33My dearest darling one.
00:36:36I met with the Foreign Secretary today, who has managed to find three posts where I could do something of
00:36:42value and importance.
00:36:44I am so happy.
00:36:46These posts would offer me the chance to serve my country and make a difference.
00:36:52As to the green light, as far as government is concerned, it's a go.
00:36:57So, only one obstacle remains, to get the blessing of the crown, which involves a brief trip back to that
00:37:07miserable mausoleum, Buckingham Palace.
00:37:15Counting down the minutes, until I am back in your arms again, your loving husband, David.
00:37:51The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:38:02Ah, yes. Your first time back.
00:38:10In this room, yes.
00:38:12That colour was me, French grey.
00:38:21So, talk to me of the pleasure.
00:38:23I assume it's about this new book that you're writing.
00:38:27Oh, actually, I've come here today on another matter.
00:38:30A job.
00:38:33That while I'm clearly no longer a young man, I'm also not yet an old one, and might be able
00:38:39to usefully serve the crown.
00:38:43You had a chance to serve this country.
00:38:46The greatest chance.
00:38:49You gave it up.
00:38:51Well, I gave it up because of the way my wife was treated, not because I no longer wish to
00:38:56serve this country.
00:39:01Anyway, one or two ideas came up.
00:39:05For jobs, which would require the blessing both of government and crown.
00:39:10Of course, before coming here and bothering you, I made sure the support would be given by government, and I've
00:39:17been short of that support.
00:39:19Support for what jobs?
00:39:20Well, three possibilities came up.
00:39:23The first is the ambassadorship to France.
00:39:26The PM and Foreign Secretary aren't keen on the incumbent, Gatwin Jebb.
00:39:31And the second option?
00:39:34Oh, as a special liaison to the Board of Trade.
00:39:39The third?
00:39:41As a High Commissioner, working with the Commonwealth Relations Office to protect and promote British interests throughout the world.
00:39:49This would suit me, I think, as it specializes in the practical side of diplomatic work.
00:39:56Entertaining.
00:40:01Well, I'm sure that you do all three jobs very well indeed.
00:40:09But in light of what I've recently learned about...
00:40:13About what?
00:40:15About events that took place while you were in Lisbon during the war.
00:40:20From whom?
00:40:22From state papers.
00:40:23Which state papers?
00:40:25German state papers.
00:40:28Which American historians, supported by the French and the British, are now threatening to publish.
00:40:37And what exactly is in these papers?
00:40:41Letters.
00:40:43And telegrams.
00:40:45Communications detailing your relationship with Nazi High Command.
00:40:50Well, it's utter nonsense.
00:40:53In one telegram from 1940, it states that you were considering publicly going against the government and pledging your support
00:41:01for peace with Germany, thereby breaking with my father, the king.
00:41:05In another, it says that in return for your support, the German government offered you a home in Spain where
00:41:11you could wait out the rest of the war in peace and safety while your countrymen gave their lives.
00:41:17I went to the Bahamas.
00:41:19I went to the Bahamas as the British government instructed.
00:41:21Yes, you were instructed to go to the Bahamas because of your views.
00:41:27In these papers, you're quoted as saying that the Fuhrer's desire for peace was in complete agreement with your own
00:41:36point of view.
00:41:45You were too young to remember.
00:41:48I, alas, not.
00:41:52Hitler and his henchmen were once our friends.
00:41:55As king, I was committed to the idea, passionately committed, that England and Germany should never be enemies again after
00:42:06the horrors of the Great War.
00:42:07People forget.
00:42:09There was no indication of who Hitler would become.
00:42:14You could argue that we were the ones that made a monster of him by refusing to be his allies.
00:42:20This is the point.
00:42:22People make stands, they're grandstands, they pat themselves on the back for their great virtue.
00:42:28And what is the consequence?
00:42:30Another grotesque war, millions more dead, when peace was all that mattered to me.
00:42:39In that spirit, I am asking you to make peace with me today.
00:42:48Elizabeth, the British are a sensible people.
00:42:51They will never believe these claims against me.
00:42:55They will dismiss these papers for what they are.
00:43:01Baseless rumors and German propaganda.
00:43:24Everything all right?
00:43:30can i ask your opinion of course what about forgiveness what have i done now
00:43:40no not you uncle david
00:43:46i think it's time that he'd be forgiven are you mad you can't forgive that man
00:43:50why not what he did to this country those were different times
00:43:56he's explained all that to me i bet he did philip
00:44:03forgiveness is very important to me it's not often i say this so perhaps if i do
00:44:10you will take it seriously
00:44:18ask ask tommy lassells to come and see you
00:44:22what and tell him of your proposed course of action i can't keep summoning him like that
00:44:28why not well he's retired for one thing go and see him in an unofficial capacity for
00:44:35sherry or tea or human blood whatever that monster drinks and ask him about your uncle
00:44:43he was his private secretary while he was king he knows everything there is to know
00:44:54okay
00:44:58but
00:45:13so
00:45:26your majesty
00:45:28tommy
00:45:29it's terribly inconvenient
00:45:35ah you're mid-battle
00:45:37yes ma'am
00:45:38now don't say anything
00:45:42ah yes those uniforms

00:45:52so is Waterloo
00:45:55Salamanca
00:45:56ah
00:45:58oh
00:45:59and these
00:46:01troops of Sir Edward Pakenham's 3rd Infantry Division
00:46:05very lovely
00:46:06did you have them made
00:46:07a gift ma'am
00:46:09from your grandfather
00:46:11when I was in his service
00:46:12hmm
00:46:14shall we ma'am
00:46:16yes
00:46:25I'm proposing
00:46:26to let the Duke of Windsor
00:46:28back into public life
00:46:31and as an example of a Christian
00:46:32in a Christian country
00:46:35to forgive
00:46:39your majesty
00:46:40that would
00:46:42in my view
00:46:45be a mistake
00:46:48why
00:46:51before you make your decision ma'am
00:46:53I believe you should be in full possession
00:46:55of the facts
00:46:56I've read the Marburg files
00:46:58so have I
00:46:59I said full possession
00:47:04you mean there's more
00:47:05yes ma'am
00:47:09the Duke of Windsor
00:47:10made his loyalties clear
00:47:12as soon as he became king
00:47:14surrounded himself
00:47:15with a new breed
00:47:16of courtier
00:47:17men such as
00:47:19Karl
00:47:19the Duke of Saxe-Coburg
00:47:21a renowned Nazi
00:47:22he also shared
00:47:25classified allied documents
00:47:26with the Duchess of Windsor
00:47:28who was
00:47:28herself
00:47:29we believe
00:47:30sharing a bed
00:47:32forgive me ma'am
00:47:33with the German ambassador
00:47:35Herr Ribbentrop
00:47:54it became so bad that the government had to stop
00:47:56putting secret and sensitive papers in his red box
00:48:00but we needn't have worried
00:48:02because then we had the application
00:48:09having promised to retire
00:48:11from public life
00:48:12we now know that he had no such intention
00:48:15why else would the pair of them decide
00:48:17to visit Hitler in Germany
00:48:28the Fuhrer labelled the trip
00:48:31an unofficial state visit
00:48:32so it is unsurprising
00:48:34that it was on that same trip
00:48:36at the home of Herr Hess
00:48:39that the plan was hatched
00:48:43a plan to reinstate
00:48:46the Duke of Windsor
00:48:48as King of England
00:48:50effectively betraying
00:48:51and dethroning
00:48:52your dear late father
00:48:54in return
00:48:55the German forces
00:48:57being given free reign
00:48:58across Europe
00:49:00German troops
00:49:01were even promised
00:49:02to quell a colonial rebellion
00:49:04if necessary
00:49:06and there were visits
00:49:08to SS training schools
00:49:10and early versions
00:49:11of the concentration camps
00:49:13and of course
00:49:14the full horrors
00:49:15were yet to come
00:49:16nonetheless
00:49:18he visited
00:49:27shall I continue
00:49:28ma'am
00:49:34when a German aircraft
00:49:36crashed in Belgium
00:49:37carrying Hitler's entire
00:49:38military plan
00:49:40for the invasion of France
00:49:41the Duke wasted no time
00:49:42in letting his Nazi friends
00:49:45know that Allied forces
00:49:46had indeed recovered
00:49:47this priceless information
00:49:49which gave Germany time
00:49:51to change its plans
00:49:53and in less than a month
00:49:56Paris fell to German occupation
00:50:00but perhaps worst of all
00:50:01the Duke told the German government
00:50:05that resolve in the United Kingdom
00:50:07in the face of the German
00:50:08aerial bombardment
00:50:09was weakening
00:50:10and that continued bombing
00:50:13that is the continued slaughter
00:50:15of his fellow countrymen
00:50:17and former subjects
00:50:18would I quote
00:50:19soon
00:50:21make Britain
00:50:22ready for peace
00:50:51the problems of the world
00:50:52can be summed up
00:50:53in one three letter word
00:50:56S-I-N
00:50:58sin
00:51:01from Psalm 58
00:51:03the wicked are estranged
00:51:05from the womb
00:51:06they go astray
00:51:07as soon as they be born
00:51:08speaking lies
00:51:09God looks
00:51:11deep down
00:51:13inside
00:51:14God sees
00:51:16God sees
00:51:16how you really are
00:51:17down inside
00:51:18now you may be out
00:51:19with legion teeth
00:51:20we're fine
00:51:21coaching
00:51:22a church member
00:51:23a good standing
00:51:24in the community
00:51:25but it's your heart
00:51:26the heart of God
00:51:34I've had a chance
00:51:35to think about
00:51:36your request
00:51:36to serve your country
00:51:40I was keen
00:51:41to help you
00:51:42and weighing it all up
00:51:45the amount of time
00:51:47that has passed
00:51:49and my affection
00:51:50for you
00:51:51personally
00:51:52all spoke
00:51:53in its favor
00:51:56but
00:52:00but
00:52:01on balance
00:52:04I think not
00:52:08and I'm sure
00:52:08you don't need
00:52:09reminding
00:52:10that under the terms
00:52:11of the agreement
00:52:12reached after the abdication
00:52:13you are permitted
00:52:14to return to
00:52:14the United Kingdom
00:52:15only at the pleasure
00:52:16and invitation
00:52:17of the Sovereign
00:52:20yes
00:52:22I find myself
00:52:23unable to grant
00:52:24that permission
00:52:29and who's fed you
00:52:30this poison
00:52:32your mother
00:52:34no
00:52:37Tommy Lassell's
00:52:38I came to my own mind
00:52:40well you have no mind
00:52:41of your own
00:52:42that's why everyone
00:52:42is so thrilled with you
00:52:44the last royal
00:52:45to have a mind
00:52:46of his own
00:52:46was me
00:52:46and that's why
00:52:47they threw me out
00:52:48fine
00:52:50I will go
00:52:53but let me ask you this
00:52:56who has done more damage
00:52:58to the monarchy
00:52:59me with my
00:53:01willfulness
00:53:01or you lot
00:53:02with your inhumanity
00:53:08we all closed our eyes
00:53:11our ears
00:53:12to what was being said
00:53:13about you
00:53:15we dismissed it
00:53:16as fabrications
00:53:18as cruel chatter
00:53:19in light of your decision
00:53:21to give up the throne
00:53:22but when the truth
00:53:23finally came out
00:53:25the truth
00:53:29it makes a mockery
00:53:30of even the central tenets
00:53:31of christianity
00:53:33there is no possibility
00:53:35of my forgiving you
00:53:36the question is
00:53:38how on earth
00:53:39can you forgive yourself
00:54:06how on earth can you forgive yourself
00:54:13you

00:55:28your majesty
00:55:33you're very kind to find time for me again
00:55:39do sit down
00:55:50reverend graham
00:55:53i asked you here today because
00:55:56there's something that
00:55:57i'd very much like to hear your views on
00:56:01ma'am
00:56:04forgiveness
00:56:08are there any
00:56:10circumstances do you feel where
00:56:13one can be a good christian
00:56:16and yet not forgive
00:56:21christian teaching is very clear on this
00:56:23no one is beneath forgiveness
00:56:26dying on the cross jesus
00:56:28himself asked the lord to forgive those that killed him
00:56:33yes
00:56:37but
00:56:39we must remember his words
00:56:41they know not what they do
00:56:45that forgiveness
00:56:46it was conditional
00:56:48true
00:56:49but he still forgave
00:56:51god himself
00:56:53forgives us all
00:56:55who are we to reject
00:56:56the example of god
00:56:57mere mortals
00:57:00we are all mortals
00:57:02that is our fate
00:57:03but we need not be
00:57:05unchristian ones
00:57:17the solution
00:57:18for being unable to forgive
00:57:21one asks for forgiveness
00:57:23oneself
00:57:24humbly
00:57:25and sincerely
00:57:28and one prays for those that one cannot forgive
00:57:31ye
00:57:31humbly
00:57:33humbly
00:57:34humbly
00:57:34humbly
00:58:00humbly
00:58:50You're saying one for me.
00:58:53Not on this occasion, no.
00:58:54Go on.
00:58:55Press it where it is.
00:58:57We all know you have the ear of the big man upstairs as head of his church.
00:59:02Oh, you're drunk.
00:59:04I am, I don't deny it.
00:59:05Get off.
00:59:06Not me and his friend, because either is my drinking companions tonight.
00:59:10Care to take guests?
00:59:11I wouldn't dare.
00:59:13Your dear...
00:59:14Your dear...
00:59:15Your dear ma was one.
00:59:19What?
00:59:21And Tommy Lassell's the other.
00:59:23No.
00:59:24Yes.
00:59:26I know.
00:59:27Hideous thought.
00:59:29But we all agree to put aside our historical differences to celebrate the one good thing that we all have
00:59:35in common.
00:59:36Which is?
00:59:38It's you.
00:59:40And the heroic way you kicked that wretched fool out today, tail between his legs.
00:59:49It was hardly heroic.
00:59:50On the contrary, it was entirely heroic.
00:59:52And don't, don't for one minute start on about it being a failure of Christianity.
00:59:57It is.
00:59:58No, it's not.
00:59:59You protected your country.
01:00:03And you protected the reputation of your family.
01:00:08Not to mention successfully banishing Satan from entering the Garden of Eden.
01:00:14That's Christ's business in anyone's books.
01:00:17So it's a gold star from Jesus.
01:00:20No.
01:00:23And a gold star from me.
01:00:27What are you doing?
01:00:30No.
01:00:31Yes.
01:00:31No.
01:00:32Oh, yes, darling.
01:00:33Come on.
01:00:34No!
01:00:35No!
01:00:35No!
01:00:55No!
01:01:02No!
01:01:03No!
01:01:05No!
01:01:07No!
01:01:08No!
01:01:09No!
01:01:10No!
01:01:10No!
01:01:10No!
01:01:10No!
01:01:10No!
01:01:18No!
