afraid of me? Everyone is.Copy !req
27. I am the Grand Empress Dowager,Copy !req
28. and I have lived here for a long, long time.Copy !req
29. And they call me the old Buddha.Copy !req
30. This is Peony. Do you like her?Copy !req
31. Men, you know, are not allowed
in the Forbidden City after dark.Copy !req
32. Even little men like you!Copy !req

the Emperor.Copy !req
34. But the Emperor is on high,
riding the dragon now!Copy !req
35. He died today!Copy !req
36. Longevity.Copy !req
37. These other men, they're not real men.
They're all eunuchs.Copy !req

39. That is why they're putting my bed in the
middle of the room, under the black pearl.Copy !req

bedroom. This is where we are.Copy !req
65. Am I going home today?Copy !req
66. Not today, not yet. A-And
here, look.Copy !req
67. This is the Hall of Supreme Harmony
where Your Majesty was crowned.Copy !req
68. I give Your Majesty the Gate of

the Lord of Ten Thousand Years.Copy !req
79. Oh! Oh! Oh, no! Not in my
face! Oh! Oh, no! No!Copy !req
80. I'm the Son of Heaven!
I'm the Son of Heaven!Copy !req
81. - Yes! Oh, yes!
- I am the Son of Heaven!Copy !req
82. Ar Mo! I want to go home!
I want to go home! I want to go home!Copy !req
83. I want to go home, Ar Mo!
I want to go home.Copy !req
84. Once upon a time, there was
a great tree and a great wind.Copy !req
85. The tree and the wind were
always fighting,Copy !req
86. but when wind came back,Copy !req
87. it was angrier and stronger
then ever.Copy !req
88. Father.Copy !req
89. My lady, she is the new nurse.Copy !req
90. This is good breast milk.Copy !req
91. Hey!
Come on, hurry!Copy !req
92. And that's how you became my child.Copy !req
93. I repeat.Copy !req
94. Prisoners going to their cells will walk with
their heads bowed. Keep your eyes on the ground!Copy !req
95. No looking forward or to the side!Copy !req
96. The guards will give you directions
and tell you when to turn!Copy !req
97. Eyes down! Move!Copy !req
98. Pu Chieh.Copy !req
99. Your guest is waiting to meet you,
Your Majesty.Copy !req
100. Also, your mother has arrived.Copy !req
101. You have not seen your mother
for many years, Your Majesty.Copy !req
102. He is so small!Copy !req
103. He is young, Your Majesty.Copy !req
104. Go. Go!Copy !req
105. The Emperor's brother,
His Excellency, Pu Chieh.Copy !req
106. Ar Mo.Copy !req
107. Stay with me.Copy !req
108. How's the health of His
Majesty's mother?Copy !req
109. It is better, thank you. How
much His Majesty has grown!Copy !req
110. My mother has not seen me for
seven years!Copy !req
111. Do you remember my face?Copy !req
112. No!Copy !req
113. The night they came with the horses,
I knew it would be like this.Copy !req
114. My brother sees you every day!Copy !req
115. Pu Chieh is very excited to meet you.
He often talks about you.Copy !req
116. We are all very proud of you.Copy !req
117. The kite.Copy !req
118. He chose this for you.Copy !req
119. Papa!Copy !req
120. Some of my clothes are in these boxes.Copy !req
121. This is the Imperial row.Copy !req
122. My capes are in that big box.Copy !req
123. What is that?Copy !req
124. My medicines.Copy !req
125. - Pills for rectifying the vapors.
- Look, a chamber pot.Copy !req
126. These are my birds.Copy !req
127. That is my heater,
and this is my camel.Copy !req
128. They're turning away!Copy !req
129. Of course! Ordinary people are
not allowed to look at the Emperor!Copy !req
130. I am too important.Copy !req
131. Is it true that you can do
whatever you want?Copy !req
132. Of course, I can. If I am naughty, someone
else is punished. One of them!Copy !req
133. Stop!Copy !req
134. The Emperor will walk.Copy !req
135. I have never met other children.
Are they all like you?Copy !req
136. I've got three sisters and two friends.Copy !req
137. If you come to our house,
you can play with us.Copy !req
138. The Emperor never leaves the
Palace.Copy !req
139. We play games together!Copy !req
140. I know a game, too! Run!Copy !req
141. - The ones in the boat are the high consorts.
- High consorts?Copy !req
142. The wives of the Emperor
before me.Copy !req
143. They say they're my mother,
but they're not! They're not!Copy !req
144. We asked you for the books, so prisoners will
have to pass this around or read it aloud.Copy !req
145. The sooner you begin to learn,
the better. This is a school.Copy !req
146. History of the new popular democracy.Copy !req
147. Pages 84, 85.Copy !req
148. In February 1912,Copy !req
149. 2000 years of Imperial rule came to an end
with the abdication of the Manchoo Dynasty.Copy !req
150. China became a republic.Copy !req
151. It was the year of the Rat.Copy !req
152. Are you interested in ancient history?Copy !req
153. School...Copy !req
154. This is a prison.Copy !req
155. A real prison.Copy !req
156. I told you to start reading.Copy !req
157. You, there, read aloud. Read!Copy !req
158. AccordingCopy !req
159. AccordingCopy !req
160. According to the treaty between
the empire and the first republic,Copy !req
161. the Emperor's taitou was
retained and not abolished.Copy !req
162. He would retain his palaces, and he paid
an annual subsidy of four million dollars.Copy !req
163. The republic also guaranteed to protect
the Imperial tombs in perpetuity.Copy !req
164. In return, the dynasty surrendered forever
its right to rule the country.Copy !req
165. Man, his nature originally good.Copy !req
166. Let us see what the
Emperor has done.Copy !req
167. Your Majesty will do it
again five times.Copy !req
168. Five times!Copy !req
169. Ten times.Copy !req
170. Why are you wearing that?
You are not allowed to wear yellow!Copy !req
171. But this is ordinary yellow.Copy !req
172. - It is Imperial yellow!
- No, it is not!Copy !req
173. We say it is! Only the Emperor
can wear that yellow! Take it off!Copy !req
174. - No!
- Take it off!Copy !req
175. No! And you're not the Emperor anymore!Copy !req
176. There is a new Emperor now!Copy !req
177. He has cut off his queue, and instead of a
camel, he has got a car!Copy !req
178. What did you say?Copy !req
179. You're not the Emperor!Copy !req
180. Liar!Copy !req
181. You're not the Emperor anymore!Copy !req
182. Liar! Liar!Copy !req
183. You're not the...Copy !req
184. Liar!Copy !req
185. You're not the Emperor!
How dare you!Copy !req
186. Calm yourselves! Oh!Copy !req
187. - You're not the Emperor!
- How dare you!Copy !req
188. No! Your Majesty!
Calm yourselves!Copy !req
189. Am I the Emperor or not?Copy !req
190. Your Majesty will always be the Emperor.Copy !req
191. - You see?
- Prove it!Copy !req
192. Big Foot, drink it! Go on, drink
the green ink.Copy !req
193. I will show you!Copy !req
194. See? That is a car! He is the
President of the Republic.Copy !req
195. Why is this wall here, Lord
Chamberlain?Copy !req
196. It is just a wall, Your Majesty.
Nothing has changed.Copy !req
197. You are lying.Copy !req
198. High Tutor, am I still the Emperor?Copy !req
199. You will always be the Emperor inside
the Forbidden City, but not outside.Copy !req
200. I do not understand.Copy !req
201. Outside China is now a republic,
with a president.Copy !req
202. Where is Ar Mo? Ar Mo?Copy !req
203. You are all liars!Copy !req
204. - Let me say "good-bye"!
- Hurry! Hurry!Copy !req
205. He's my child! Ah!Copy !req
206. Ar Mo? Ar Mo?Copy !req
207. I do not understand.Copy !req
208. I do not understand.Copy !req
209. Your Majesty is a big boy now.Copy !req
210. He cannot have a wet nurse anymore.Copy !req
211. It is much better like this.
Much healthier.Copy !req
212. But she is not my wet nurse.Copy !req
213. She's my butterfly.Copy !req
214. Ar Mo! Ar Mo!Copy !req
215. Ar Mo! Ar Mo!Copy !req
216. Ar Mo! Ar Mo!Copy !req
217. This is the detention center of
the Fushun Bureau of Public Security.Copy !req
218. And I am the governor!Copy !req
219. During the war, this was a
Japanese prison.Copy !req
220. Many of you may remember it.Copy !req
221. Because you worked with the Japanese,Copy !req
222. you were responsible for building it,
and you filled it with innocent people.Copy !req
223. How could this happen?Copy !req
224. Why did you betray your
country?Copy !req
225. What turned you into war
criminals?Copy !req
226. We believe that men are
born good!Copy !req
227. We believe that the only way to change is to
discover the truth and look at it in the face.Copy !req
228. That is why you are here.Copy !req
229. You will begin by writing the story of your
lives and by confessing your crimes.Copy !req
230. Your salvation will lie entirely
in the attitude you take!Copy !req
231. I advise you to be frank and sincere.
Otherwise, things can still go very badly for you.Copy !req
232. You have learned that
song very quickly.Copy !req
233. That is a good beginning.Copy !req
234. It is snowing.Copy !req
235. We must stick to the same story, or they
will turn our words against us.Copy !req
236. After a few years, the tiny republic had
become as corrupt as the old Empire.Copy !req
237. It fell quickly into the hands of ambitious
generals and corrupt bureaucrats.Copy !req
238. The era of the warlords had begun. By May
1919, when I received my appointment,Copy !req
239. China was in turmoil.Copy !req
240. China awake.Copy !req
241. Did you know they're now selling
electoral votes on the stock market?Copy !req
242. Nothing has changed with the republic,
either inside or outside the Forbidden City.Copy !req
243. - Except for the bicycles.
- The students are angry.Copy !req
244. But what can they do
except shout?Copy !req
245. The shops are closing.Copy !req
246. Oh, so, they are.Copy !req
247. Maybe we'll be late after all.Copy !req
248. Shall we take a short cut?Copy !req
249. - Yes.
- Use our feet.Copy !req
250. Remember, you're one of the first foreigners with an
official post in the Forbidden City since Marco Polo.Copy !req
251. It makes me very nervous.Copy !req
252. The enemy.Copy !req
253. Is there a dagger in my back?Copy !req
254. Not yet.Copy !req
255. My friend, it is not easy to forgive a foreign devil
who knows Confucius better than they do.Copy !req
256. And grows the finest peonies in Peking!Copy !req
257. May the new tutor present himself!Copy !req
258. Your Imperial Highness, the new tutor.Copy !req
259. The Emperor is honored to
welcome his tutor.Copy !req
260. Your tutor is honored to have
been chosen, Your Majesty.Copy !req
261. One more time.Copy !req
262. Your Imperial Highness,
Mr. Reginald Fleming Johnston.Copy !req
263. How do you do, Mr. Johnston?Copy !req
264. How do you do, Your Majesty?Copy !req
265. Now we will go to school.Copy !req
266. Please begin the lesson.Copy !req
267. Your Majesty, in my country, it would be usual
to begin with some kind of an examination.Copy !req
268. The Emperor cannot be examined.Copy !req
269. Well, that may have to change.Copy !req
270. But first, Your Majesty might
like to ask me some questions.Copy !req
271. Where are your ancestors buried?Copy !req
272. In Scotland, Your Majesty.Copy !req
273. But then, where's your skirt?Copy !req
274. In your country, men wear short skirts,
do they not?Copy !req
275. No, Your Majesty, Scotsmen do not
wear skirts. They wear kilts.Copy !req
276. Kilts.Copy !req
277. Kilts. A matter of words, perhaps,
but words are important.Copy !req
278. Why are words important?Copy !req
279. If you cannot say what you mean, Your
Majesty, you will never mean what you say.Copy !req
280. And a gentleman should always
mean what he says.Copy !req
281. Ah, yes! A gentleman.
Are you a gentleman?Copy !req
282. I would like to be a gentleman,
Your Majesty. I try to be.Copy !req
283. I'm not a gentleman. I'm not
allowed to say what I mean.Copy !req
284. They are always telling me
what to say.Copy !req
285. Your Majesty is still very young.Copy !req
286. I thought he might like to see some
English and American magazines.Copy !req
287. I have just received them.Copy !req
288. I know that you know that I
know that you know that,Copy !req
289. that is a dialog between
Confucius and Chuang Tzu.Copy !req
290. Concerning respect, Your Majesty.Copy !req
291. Who is this "George Washington"?Copy !req
292. A famous American, Your Majesty.Copy !req
293. A revolutionary General,
the first American President.Copy !req
294. Ah! Like Mr. Lenin in Russia?Copy !req
295. Not quite.Copy !req
296. Does he have a car?Copy !req
297. He lived a long time ago, Your Majesty.Copy !req
298. I want a car.Copy !req
299. I think your mouse is trying to
escape, Your Majesty.Copy !req
300. Please do not tell anyone about
my mouse.Copy !req
301. The lesson is finished.Copy !req
302. Our official taster's a brave man.Copy !req
303. Many of my ancestors
have been poisoned, you know.Copy !req
304. Does Your Majesty have lunch
like this every day?Copy !req
305. Oh, yes! Every day!
Like theater!Copy !req
306. I do not know why.
It has always been like that.Copy !req
307. This is my royal food.Copy !req
308. Your Majesty!
One hundred year eggs.Copy !req
309. Snake bow.Copy !req
310. Angel's hair.Copy !req
311. Garlic sprout, steamed turtle,
goat nipples...Copy !req
312. There's a danger of poisoning pots.Copy !req
313. My food comes directly
from the high consorts.Copy !req
314. Their tasters had already tried them.Copy !req
315. It always arrives a bit cold.Copy !req
316. How do they kill Emperors in
the West?Copy !req
317. The Austrian Emperor was shot, was he not?Copy !req
318. No, but his nephew was assassinated
before the Great War.Copy !req
319. But the Russian Emperor had
been shot. He was called the Tsar.Copy !req
320. - Yes.
- He took lots of our land in Manchuria.Copy !req
321. I'm a Manchurian. Even after the republic,
it's still my country.Copy !req
322. The-uh... secret, Your Majesty,
is emerging again.Copy !req
323. Is something the matter, Your Majesty?Copy !req
324. Something is happening.Copy !req
325. Silence. Tell them to be quiet.Copy !req
326. Silence.Copy !req
327. Silence.Copy !req
328. What is happening,
Mr. Johnston?Copy !req
329. - Uh, nothing is happening.
- Quiet!Copy !req
330. On my way here, Your Majesty, we were
held up by students from the university.Copy !req
331. They were protesting against the
republican government,Copy !req
332. because it has agreed to give
away Chinese territory to Japan.Copy !req
333. Is it true, Mr. Johnston, that many people
out there have had their heads chopped off?Copy !req
334. It is true, Your Majesty.
Many heads have been chopped off.Copy !req
335. It does stop them thinking.Copy !req
336. It is time for the Emperor's rest.Copy !req
337. The students are right to be angry.Copy !req
338. I'm angry!Copy !req
339. But I'm not allowed
to leave the Forbidden City.Copy !req
340. I want to go out,
Mr. Johnston!Copy !req
341. My lord!Copy !req
342. I want to see the city of sounds!Copy !req
343. The Emperor awards you with
the order of the Ruby Hat Button,Copy !req
344. and with the right to be carried in your
own chair, with four bearers.Copy !req
345. The last Emperor died
on the same nightCopy !req
346. as the Empress Guwalgiya, the night
I was brought to the Forbidden City,Copy !req
347. when I was three.Copy !req
348. The eunuchs think he was murdered,
but who killed him.Copy !req
349. And why?
And who will kill me?Copy !req
350. The chair, your excellency.Copy !req
351. The traditional gift to eunuchs.Copy !req
352. Many thanks. Be grateful.Copy !req
353. - If it is official practice,
- Always, sir, always, sir.Copy !req
354. In which case, I would like an
official receipt.Copy !req
355. Stop!Copy !req
356. One, two,Copy !req
357. Three, four, five...Copy !req
358. Emperor extends his apologies.Copy !req
359. Please tell the Emperor
that there is no offense.Copy !req
360. Emperor who has been offended.Copy !req
361. Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen...Copy !req
362. Even the bicycle was viewed with
suspicion in the Forbidden City.Copy !req
363. My present to the Emperor
lead to a lot of trouble.Copy !req
364. Change about!Copy !req
365. I hope the Emperor has not forgotten
that this is the day for his math class.Copy !req
366. For Your Majesty!Copy !req
367. My doctor says,
"Bicycles are bad for you."Copy !req
368. Bad for you, nonsense!Copy !req
369. How does it work?Copy !req
370. Oh, it's simple.Copy !req
371. Head up and eyes forward!
As in math!Copy !req
372. My mother is dead, is she not?Copy !req
373. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
374. I'm profoundly sorry!Copy !req
375. I'm not.Copy !req
376. She killed herself.Copy !req
377. She swallowed the ball of opium.Copy !req
378. I'm going to see her, and my brother.Copy !req
379. Open the door. Open the door.Copy !req
380. Open the door.Copy !req
381. Fallen devil and fallen machine.
Trouble! Nothing but trouble!Copy !req
382. - Look where you lead him!
- And you are an old, cruel, ignorant man.Copy !req
383. The boy's mother is dead,
and he's not even allowed to see her!Copy !req
384. I want to go home!Copy !req
385. I want to go home!Copy !req
386. Stop it, stop it, stay where you are!Copy !req
387. I want to go home!Copy !req
388. Stop it, stay where you are!Copy !req
389. You fool! Stay there!Copy !req
390. Chang!Copy !req
391. Hunchback, Big Foot!Copy !req
392. Sir? Give me your hand, sir.
Give me your hand, sir!Copy !req
393. Can you not see?Copy !req
394. Look at my left ear, please, sir.Copy !req
395. Thank you, and my right.
Thank you.Copy !req
396. Would you follow my finger, please, sir.Copy !req
397. Just the eyes, Your Majesty, not the head.Copy !req
398. Well, it's perfectly simple, Johnston.
The Emperor needs spectacles.Copy !req
399. Like Harold Lloyd!Copy !req
400. Impossible! An Emperor does
not wear spectacles!Copy !req
401. That cannot be allowed!Copy !req
402. Times have changed,
Your Highnesses!Copy !req
403. If His Majesty doesn't get spectacles,
Johnston, he could lose his sight.Copy !req
404. Now, please, could you show me
the way out of here?Copy !req
405. Your Majesty.Copy !req
406. If the Emperor does not get
spectacles, I will resign.Copy !req
407. Unfortunately,
our decision is final.Copy !req
408. And, unfortunately, what I have to say will be
published in every newspaper in China.Copy !req
409. What do you have to say,
Mr. Johnston?Copy !req
410. The Emperor has been a prisoner
in his own palace since the dayCopy !req
411. that he was crowned and has remained
a prisoner since he abdicated.Copy !req
412. But now that he's growing up, he may
wonder why he is the only person in ChinaCopy !req
413. who may not walk out of
his own front door.Copy !req
414. I think the Emperor is the
loneliest boy on earth.Copy !req
415. It would be conveniently sad
if he becomes blind.Copy !req
416. Blind, Mr. Johnston?Copy !req
417. To the expense, Your Excellency. To the cost of
maintaining one thousand two hundred eunuchs,Copy !req
418. three hundred and fifty
ladies-in-waitingCopy !req
419. and one hundred and eighty-five
cooks to buying a hundredCopy !req
420. and twenty sable furs a month and
three thousand chickens a week.Copy !req
421. To the fact that eight hundred and forty guards
and employees of the household department,Copy !req
422. plus one Lord Chamberlain,
care only about one thing!Copy !req
423. Filling their own rice bowls!Copy !req
424. You are very good at accounts,
Mr. Johnston!Copy !req
425. The Emperor may have abdicated,Copy !req
426. but he's still a symbol
of great importance to many people.Copy !req
427. If I did not agree with that,
I would not be here.Copy !req
428. And some of us believe that one day soon,
he may be more than a symbol.Copy !req
429. The spectacles are a detail.Copy !req
430. What do you really want,
Mr. Johnston?Copy !req
431. Just the spectacles.Copy !req
432. The Princess Wan Jung, Your Majesty.
Seventeen years old.Copy !req
433. Princess Wu Chang,
fifteen years old.Copy !req
434. The princess De Li, Your Majesty,
and the Princess Fung Ying.Copy !req
435. The Princess Wang Ching.Copy !req
436. The Princess Shilean,
sixteen years old.Copy !req
437. Who is this?Copy !req
438. Princess Wen Hsiu,
twelve years old.Copy !req
439. She has got a funny face.Copy !req
440. Not just one wife. One empress
and one secondary consort.Copy !req
441. - Two wives? - But who did you
choose to be the Empress?Copy !req
442. They chose her! She's very old,
Johnston! She's seventeen!Copy !req
443. That's not so old, Your Majesty.
What does she look like?Copy !req
444. Old fashioned! I want a modern wife,
Johnston, who speaks English and French!Copy !req
445. And who can dance the quickstep!Copy !req
446. Johnston!Copy !req
447. Sir!Copy !req
448. I'm going to escape, Johnston.Copy !req
449. I've got a suitcase,
and a ticket to England.Copy !req
450. I'm going to Oxford University.Copy !req
451. Your Majesty, if you get married, you will
become the master of your own house.Copy !req
452. A wedding might be a more
practical way to escape.Copy !req
453. I suppose she's on her way by now.Copy !req
454. It will be all right.
They do everything for you.Copy !req
455. Why did you never get married,
Johnston?Copy !req
456. Your Mongolian cousin Prince Demchukedamgruv
has sent you twelve racing camels.Copy !req
457. Plus this.Copy !req
458. On behalf of Manchuria.Copy !req
459. A lump of coal.Copy !req
460. Manchuria...Copy !req
461. - The secondary consort welcomes the Empress.
- The Empress greets the secondary consort.Copy !req
462. You are doing everything very well.Copy !req
463. Thank you.
I rehearsed many times.Copy !req
464. What is His Majesty thinking?Copy !req
465. I was thinking, if I was the real Emperor,
I would become the ruler of China now.Copy !req
466. And what would the Emperor do,
if he could really rule?Copy !req
467. I would change everything,
even the way we get married.Copy !req
468. Is the Emperor against arranged
marriages?Copy !req
469. It is humiliating not to choose
whom you marry!Copy !req
470. Even I was not allowed
to choose.Copy !req
471. And yet westerners might be amazedCopy !req
472. how much happiness can come from
arranged marriages.Copy !req
473. That is what old-fashioned women say,
like the high consorts.Copy !req
474. In another year or two, His Majesty
will be taller than me.Copy !req
475. Is it true the Emperor has a suitcase
under his bed and is going to Oxford?Copy !req
476. Will the Emperor take
Wan Jung with him?Copy !req
477. Perhaps he would like to
see my face before he decides.Copy !req
478. Yes, the Emperor would like to
see the face of the Empress.Copy !req
479. It is the Emperor who must
remove the kait'ou.Copy !req
480. I also had a tutor like Mr. Johnston.Copy !req
481. Miss Windsor. She's American.Copy !req
482. Miss Windsor taught me how to
do the dance of the quickstep.Copy !req
483. Does the Emperor know how to
do the quickstep?Copy !req
484. Will you teach me?Copy !req
485. Leave us! Leave us!Copy !req
486. If Your Majesty thinks it is old-fashioned to
make the rain and the wind with a stranger,Copy !req
487. we can be like a modern couple,
to begin with.Copy !req
488. A modern couple?Copy !req
489. Good night.Copy !req
490. Good night.Copy !req
491. You must come to Oxford with me.Copy !req
492. I like him! I am sure
I am going to like him!Copy !req
493. And he will grow up!Copy !req
494. Eyes down!Copy !req
495. Report your arrival!Copy !req
496. Prisoner 981 reporting.Copy !req
497. - Louder!
- Prisoner 981 reporting.Copy !req
498. Open the door!Copy !req
499. Close the door!Copy !req
500. Sit down!Copy !req
501. Name?Copy !req
502. Aisin-Gioro Pu Yi.Copy !req
503. Write it!Copy !req
504. Now read that aloud!Copy !req
505. Leniency to those who confess,
severity to those who resist,Copy !req
506. Redemption to those who gain merits.Copy !req
507. Now than, there are two types
of confession.Copy !req
508. We call them
toothpaste and water tap.Copy !req
509. The toothpaste prisoner needs to be squeezed every
now and then or else he forgets to keep confessing.Copy !req
510. The water tap man needs one good
hard twist before he starts.Copy !req
511. But then everything comes out.Copy !req
512. Now, you're an intelligent person.
I'm sure you understand me.Copy !req
513. Good.
Then we will begin.Copy !req
514. Why do you think you are
in here, 981?Copy !req
515. I'm accused of being a traitor, a collaborator,
and a counter-revolutionary.Copy !req
516. It is not an accusation!Copy !req
517. You are a traitor, you are a collaborator,
and you are a counter-revolutionary!Copy !req
518. Did you write this?
And you call it a confession?Copy !req
519. This is nothing but a list of dates!
A child's fairy tale!Copy !req
520. What do you want me to confess?Copy !req
521. You know what you did and
what others did.Copy !req
522. So why don't you
volunteer the information?Copy !req
523. I do not understand.Copy !req
524. We don't tell people what to confess.
We already know everything about you.Copy !req
525. I...Copy !req
526. Go on.Copy !req
527. I wanted reforms.Copy !req
528. What did you want to reform?Copy !req
529. Everything.Copy !req
530. Chang, you have a house outside
the Forbidden City. Do you not?Copy !req
531. - Yes, Your Majesty.
- It has 20 rooms, I understand.Copy !req
532. And you also have houses.Copy !req
533. Oh, we all do, Your Majesty.Copy !req
534. I recently learned that many pieces from
the Imperial collections are on saleCopy !req
535. in antique shops in Peking.
Is that true, Cheng?Copy !req
536. - Would you do me a favor, Wen Hsiu?
- Of course.Copy !req
537. Stop growing.Copy !req
538. The Forbidden City is a theater
without an audience.Copy !req
539. The audience left long ago
when China became a republic.Copy !req
540. - Cut off my queue.
- Your Majesty! Please!Copy !req
541. It is heavy!Copy !req
542. The Emperor before me was murdered
because he wanted to reform the empire.Copy !req
543. Is that not so, Mr. Johnston?Copy !req
544. Yes, Your Majesty, probably.Copy !req
545. Well, let us see if they will kill me for
reforming the Forbidden City.Copy !req
546. Lord Chamberlain! I'm appointing
Mr. Johnston's friend,Copy !req
547. the poet and scholar, Chin Hsiao Hsiu,
to be the new Lord Chamberlain.Copy !req
548. I want him to supervise a detailed
inventory of the Imperial storerooms!Copy !req
549. So that we can learn exactly
how much has been stolen!Copy !req
550. Can I sleep here?
I am frightened.Copy !req
551. You're brave.
Are you not frightened?Copy !req
552. I am excited.
I do not want to escape anymore.Copy !req
553. I want to rule.Copy !req
554. Kiss me.Copy !req
555. Can I stay with you as well?Copy !req
556. Get in. Get in.Copy !req
557. I used to play a game with the eunuchs.Copy !req
558. Trying to guess who is who.Copy !req
559. Now I cannot see you!Copy !req
560. Wan Jung? Wen Hsiu?Copy !req
561. Come underneath the sheet with us.Copy !req
562. Your Majesty! The storeroom's
on fire, Your Majesty!Copy !req
563. Chang Chinghui, did you not write a poem about
a spider who gets caught in his own web?Copy !req
564. I did not know Your Majesty had read
my poetry. I'm very honored.Copy !req
565. I'm the spider.Copy !req
566. The eunuchs set fire to this place to
stop me knowing what they have stolen.Copy !req
567. I'm going to expel them
from the Forbidden City.Copy !req
568. There are twelve hundred eunuchs,
Your Majesty.Copy !req
569. They have been here for
eight hundred years.Copy !req
570. It will be dangerous.Copy !req
571. Do you think the republican government
would help me?Copy !req
572. The republicans will do almost anything
if you know who to speak to.Copy !req
573. It must happen quickly.Copy !req
574. Before they burn the whole
place with us inside.Copy !req
575. I lived with them all my life, Johnston.
They're my family.Copy !req
576. Your Majesty, there is no alternative.Copy !req
577. - What is happening?
- I don't know.Copy !req
578. What are they carrying?Copy !req
579. Their organs.Copy !req
580. Whatever their crimes, they cannot be deprived
of the right to be buried as whole men.Copy !req
581. Well?Copy !req
582. I have forgot what
I was saying.Copy !req
583. You're wasting our time!Copy !req
584. We want to know about the Japanese.Copy !req
585. How did your friendship
with the Japanese begin?Copy !req
586. Who introduced you?
When?Copy !req
587. It was... I think it was the new Lord
Chamberlain, Chin Hsiao Hsiu. It was 1924.Copy !req
588. Parliament had been dissolved again.
The president had fled.Copy !req
589. At first, I thought it was just another a
coup d'etat by just another warlord.Copy !req
590. Only this time it was different.
This time it was my turn.Copy !req
591. Fifteen, love.Copy !req
592. Play.Copy !req
593. Your Highness, how shocking.Copy !req
594. Thirty love.Copy !req
595. Ready?Copy !req
596. Thirty, fifteen.Copy !req
597. The rotten government of
the republic is in flight!Copy !req
598. Now we shall remove the foreign stench of the
Manchurian rats who still hide in the Forbidden City.Copy !req
599. Mr. Pu Yi and his family have been given
one hour to leave the Forbidden City.Copy !req
600. They will be escorted
to the home of his fatherCopy !req
601. and remain there under guard as state
prisoners until further notice.Copy !req
602. What are you all looking at?
What are you standing there for?Copy !req
603. You always wanted to leave
the Forbidden City.Copy !req
604. Now you're got an hour to pack.
So, go! Go!Copy !req
605. I always thought I hated it here.
Now, I'm afraid to leave.Copy !req
606. Do you think they will kill me?Copy !req
607. You must do as they say, Your Majesty,
while I try to reach the British Embassy.Copy !req
608. They will give you asylum there.
I'm sure they will.Copy !req
609. Chang, take my car to the South gate!
I want you to drive His Majesty.Copy !req
610. Your Majesty!Copy !req
611. Please, Your Majesty!Copy !req
612. What?Copy !req
613. But you didn't go to
the British Embassy, did you?Copy !req
614. You ended up at the Japanese Embassy.Copy !req
615. The Japanese were the only people
prepared to help me.Copy !req
616. Help you for nothing?Copy !req
617. Japan has an Emperor.
We're almost the same age.Copy !req
618. I thought it was kindness.Copy !req
619. At the same time, I realized that,
for many Chinese, I was an alien.Copy !req
620. Simply because I am Manchurian.Copy !req
621. There was even an anti-Manchurian
league who wanted to assassinate me!Copy !req
622. So, I went to live in Tientsin.Copy !req
623. There was a nice provincial town
with a big port.Copy !req
624. In those days, we had a large,
international settlement.Copy !req
625. The Japanese thought it would
be safer for me there.Copy !req
626. If you had read the books we
gave you more carefully,Copy !req
627. you might have learned that the anti-Manchurian
league was largely financed by the Japanese.Copy !req
628. It was designed to frighten you.Copy !req
629. I did not know that at the time.Copy !req
630. - Cigarette?
- I do not smoke.Copy !req
631. Were the Japanese paying
for you in Tientsin?Copy !req
632. Oh, no.Copy !req
633. I had to rent a villa,
the Villa Chan, and it was very expensive.Copy !req
634. So were the bodyguards.Copy !req
635. I spent a lot of money in Tientsin.Copy !req
636. Did you still believe in a restoration
of the Imperial system?Copy !req
637. Others did.
They were later caught and exiled.Copy !req
638. I cannot remember how much jade
and jewelry they made meCopy !req
639. spend to buy the friendship of some warlord
or some white Russian general.Copy !req
640. I even financed an English
speaking newspaper.Copy !req
641. They closed after three days.
It was unreadable.Copy !req
642. And what else did you spend
your money on?Copy !req
643. Oh, I was never tired of buying pianos,
watches, radios...Copy !req
644. As long as they were foreign!Copy !req
645. Of course.
Anything Western was good.Copy !req
646. Especially Wrigley's chewing gum,
Bayer aspirin, and cars.Copy !req
647. While you were in Tientsin, most of China came
under the control of General Chiang Kai Shek,Copy !req
648. the so-called Nationalists,
the Kuomintang.Copy !req
649. What were your relations with them?Copy !req
650. None.Copy !req
651. I felt useless in Tientsin.
I was twenty-one.Copy !req
652. I dreamt of going to the West.Copy !req
653. I became a playboy.Copy !req
654. Am I blue. Am I blue.Copy !req
655. Ain't these tears in my eyes
telling you. Am I blue?Copy !req
656. You'd be, too. If each plan with your girl done
fell through. Was a time, I was her only one.Copy !req
657. But now I'm the sad and lonely one.
Boo-Boo-Boo, Boo-Boo-Boo.Copy !req
658. Now she's gone and we're
through. Lord, I'm blue.Copy !req
659. - Very good.
- Well done.Copy !req
660. That's a great ship,
if you're going first-class.Copy !req
661. I'm not going anywhere.Copy !req
662. Would you like to dance?Copy !req
663. You're a brave man. Nobody here
would have danced with me.Copy !req
664. Why is that?Copy !req
665. - Because I'm Chinese.
- Well, I'm American.Copy !req
666. You say California.
I say French Riviera.Copy !req
667. San Francisco!Copy !req
668. Monte Carlo! Are we really going this time?Copy !req
669. - Who's that couple?
- Oh, Henry and Elizabeth.Copy !req
670. - The Emperor of China?
- The ex-Emperor and his wife.Copy !req
671. - She's beautiful.
- Yes, very.Copy !req
672. And who are you?Copy !req
673. I'm His Highness's other wife.Copy !req
674. - His other wife?
- Number two wife.Copy !req
675. Well, some people have the luck.Copy !req
676. Ladies and gentlemen!Copy !req
677. General Chiang Kai Shek
has taken Shanghai!Copy !req
678. The Kuomintang have broken with the Reds
and have knocked them for six!Copy !req
679. The Reds are finished!Copy !req
680. Sorry about the reception, everyone!Copy !req
681. It would be wiser to return to the Japanese
delegation now, Your Majesty.Copy !req
682. - Your car is waiting.
- Thank you, Mr. Amakasu.Copy !req
683. The general strike in Shanghai
has collapsed.Copy !req
684. The international settlement is safe.Copy !req
685. Troops of the Kuomintang
are now in full control of the city.Copy !req
686. And firm steps are being taken to
restore order in the native areas.Copy !req
687. What do you think of General
Chiang Kai Shek?Copy !req
688. What should I think of him?
He's just another warlord.Copy !req
689. Well, he has mashed
the Communists.Copy !req
690. That's good. Except the Communists were
his sworn allies until a few days ago.Copy !req
691. I expect he betrayed them
for money.Copy !req
692. - You want some gum, Elizabeth?
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
693. Wen Hsiu, you want some gum?Copy !req
694. I want a divorce.Copy !req
695. I do not want to be your
mistress any longer.Copy !req
696. I thought you were my
secondary consort.Copy !req
697. In the Forbidden City, you were the
Emperor and I was a secondary consort.Copy !req
698. But now you are Henry Pu Yi.Copy !req
699. Wan Jung is your wife, Elizabeth.Copy !req
700. And who am I? I'm nobody.Copy !req
701. I did not know you were so unhappy.Copy !req
702. You can only have one wife
in the West.Copy !req
703. I want a divorce.Copy !req
704. No one can divorce me!Copy !req
705. I want a divorce!Copy !req
706. Come inside with me?Copy !req
707. Leave me alone.Copy !req
708. Your Ladyship!Copy !req
709. Thank you.Copy !req
710. I do not need it!Copy !req
711. I do not need it!Copy !req
712. Wen Hsiu?Copy !req
713. Elizabeth! Can I come in?Copy !req
714. Don't you remember me? I'm dressed like
a pilot, but I still can't fly! Not yet.Copy !req
715. Eastern Jewel!
We had dancing classes together!Copy !req
716. Yes, just before your marriage.Copy !req
717. Silly girl!
Why do people want to get married?Copy !req
718. Wen Hsiu has gone.
She will never come back.Copy !req
719. Is it so bad?Copy !req
720. She was my only friend.Copy !req
721. Well, at least now you've got
your husband all to yourself!Copy !req
722. And you've got me!Copy !req
723. I'll be your friend.Copy !req
724. - You smoke opium?
- Be wicked.Copy !req
725. It's the best in Shanghai!
Why are you going to Europe?Copy !req
726. The place to go is Japan!
It's more fun than anywhere!Copy !req
727. It's modern.Copy !req
728. How do you know we're going
to Europe? It is a secret.Copy !req
729. Oh, I know everything!Copy !req
730. I know Chiang Kai Shek has got false teeth.Copy !req
731. I even know his nickname,
"cash my check!"Copy !req
732. I'm a spy. And I don't
care who knows it.Copy !req
733. A spy?Copy !req
734. I work for the Japanese
Special Service Bureau,Copy !req
735. and I've come to protect you.Copy !req
736. The Japanese. They are getting
closer to him every day.Copy !req
737. He is sending his brother to the
military academy in Tokyo.Copy !req
738. They talk to him about
Manchuria all the time.Copy !req
739. And Mr. Amakasu
never says hello to me.Copy !req
740. I do not trust the Japanese.Copy !req
741. Of course, I'd love to be the
Emperor's new secondary consort!Copy !req
742. Eastern Jewel.Copy !req
743. If the post is available.Copy !req
744. The post is vacant,
my dear cousin.Copy !req
745. But you do not fit the part!Copy !req
746. Wen Hsiu left the dog behind.
Do you want it?Copy !req
747. It is my fault.
It is all my fault.Copy !req
748. I came to see you, Your Majesty,
to give you bad news.Copy !req
749. Something terrible has happened.Copy !req
750. The Imperial tombs of our Manchurian
ancestors have been attacked and robbedCopy !req
751. by troops of the Kuomintang.
Chinese soldiers.Copy !req
752. A warlord working for
Chiang Kai Shek.Copy !req
753. The body of the Empress Dowager
was hacked to pieces.Copy !req
754. Her pearl necklace has become a wedding present
from Chiang Kai Shek to his new wife.Copy !req
755. Prisoner 981 reporting.Copy !req
756. Open the door!Copy !req
757. Close the door!Copy !req
758. Tell me, 981. Do you consider
yourself to be Chinese?Copy !req
759. - Of course.
- What is this?Copy !req
760. Japan.Copy !req
761. And what do you call this part
of China?Copy !req
762. - The Northeast. - And what did
you call it as a child?Copy !req
763. Manchuria.Copy !req
764. Japan invaded Manchuria on
September eighteenth, 1931Copy !req
765. and began to set up a puppet
state called Manchukuo.Copy !req
766. Shortly afterwards, a Japanese delegation
paid you a secret visit in TientsinCopy !req
767. to request your collaboration,
which you say you refused.Copy !req
768. Speak up!Copy !req
769. I've already told you.
I have told you a hundred times.Copy !req
770. Tell us again! Tell us
two hundred times!Copy !req
771. I refused to collaborate.Copy !req
772. You say you refused, but a month
later, on November tenth, 1931,Copy !req
773. there you are arriving in Manchuria,
or should I call it Manchukuo?Copy !req
774. Now, according to this so-called confession of
yours, you didn't go of your own free will!Copy !req
775. You insist that you were
kidnapped by the Japanese!Copy !req
776. - Yes.
- And taken to Manchuria by force!Copy !req
777. - Yes!
- Sit down!Copy !req
778. Do you remember a man called
Reginald Fleming Johnston?Copy !req
779. He was your tutor.Copy !req
780. Yes.Copy !req
781. And a good friend, I believe.Copy !req
782. After twenty-eight years in China,
Mr. Johnston returned to England.Copy !req
783. He became a professor of Oriental
studies at London University,Copy !req
784. and he wrote a book. It is called
Twilight in the Forbidden City,Copy !req
785. and it is dedicated to you.Copy !req
786. I am going to miss you,
Johnston.Copy !req
787. I shall miss you, Your Majesty.Copy !req
788. Do you think a man can
become Emperor again?Copy !req
789. Yes.Copy !req
790. Thank you, Your Majesty.Copy !req
791. How can we say "Good-bye"?Copy !req
792. As we said, "Hello."Copy !req
793. Farewell, Mr. Johnston.Copy !req
794. Farewell, Your Majesty.Copy !req
795. All aboard! All aboard!Copy !req
796. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
797. Good-bye, Mr. Johnston!
We'll never forget you, Mr. Johnston.Copy !req
798. Good-bye! Mr. Johnston!
Good-bye! Good-bye!Copy !req
799. All aboard!Copy !req
800. On page four-hundred
and forty-nine, Mr. Johnston writes,Copy !req
801. The endeavor to make out that the Emperor had
been kidnapped by the Japanese is wholly untrue.Copy !req
802. He left Tientsin and went to
Manchuria of his own free will.Copy !req
803. Johnston was a liar!Copy !req
804. What did you say?
I didn't hear you.Copy !req
805. Mr. Johnston had left before
I was taken to Manchuria.Copy !req
806. He could not have known
what happened.Copy !req
807. Sit down!Copy !req
808. Is this your confession, 895?Copy !req
809. - Yes.
- According to this account,Copy !req
810. you prepared the man's things
on the morning of November ninth!Copy !req
811. Isn't it unusual for a man who's kidnapped
to have his luggage packedCopy !req
812. by his valet the day
before he's kidnapped?Copy !req
813. This is what you've written,
isn't it?Copy !req
814. Who told you to pack this man's luggage?Copy !req
815. These two stories don't fit,
do they?Copy !req
816. It was a long time ago.
Perhaps I made a mistake.Copy !req
817. You are lying!Copy !req
818. You are both lying!Copy !req
819. Control yourself!Copy !req
820. My family was buried alive
in Manchukuo.Copy !req
821. My mother digged her own grave
because of people like them.Copy !req
822. Smash the enemies.
Smash them forever.Copy !req
823. Enough.Copy !req
824. These might help you
to remember the truth.Copy !req
825. What made you write that?Copy !req
826. It is the truth.Copy !req
827. Chen Pao Shen wishes you a safe journey.Copy !req
828. You mean he refuses to say
goodbye to me.Copy !req
829. He will see me when he comes
to my coronation.Copy !req
830. Request a truce.
In case you change your mind.Copy !req
831. I am the hereditary ruler of the
Manchurian people.Copy !req
832. There can be no Manchukuo
without me.Copy !req
833. Do you not see?
The Japanese are using you.Copy !req
834. I must try to use them.Copy !req
835. The Japanese invasion of Manchuria will be
condemned by the League of NationsCopy !req
836. and by every civilized
country on earth!Copy !req
837. The Chinese Republic has broken every
promise it ever made to me!Copy !req
838. Chinese troops desecrated
the tombs of my ancestors!Copy !req
839. And Chinese troops did not defend
Manchuria from the Japanese!Copy !req
840. But Manchuria is still China!Copy !req
841. China has turned its back
on me.Copy !req
842. Please, do not go.Copy !req
843. Manchuria is the richest
frontier in Asia!Copy !req
844. Coal, oil, railways!Copy !req
845. Millions of Chinese immigrants
are going there every year!Copy !req
846. I'm going to build my country.Copy !req
847. Chen Pao Shen: If you go, you
betray your country.Copy !req
848. Which country?Copy !req
849. Johnston was wrong,
but he wasn't a liar.Copy !req
850. There was no kidnapping!Copy !req
851. You went to Manchuria by your own choice,
because you wanted to be Emperor again!Copy !req
852. You will rewrite your confessions
from the beginning!Copy !req
853. Guard!Copy !req
854. Take these people away!Copy !req
855. Out!Copy !req
856. To heaven.Copy !req
857. To earth.Copy !req
858. Chen Pao Shen is a fool. How could he
miss the birth of a new country?Copy !req
859. It looks like the
inauguration of a factory.Copy !req
860. To the moon.Copy !req
861. To the sun.Copy !req
862. You're an empress again.Copy !req
863. What I'm going to be is a pilot!Copy !req
864. I'm going to train at a secret base near
Yokohama to learn precision bombing.Copy !req
865. I want to bomb Shanghai.Copy !req
866. Bomb Shanghai?Copy !req
867. I hate China!Copy !req
868. I hate you.Copy !req
869. The Japanese Army High Command!Copy !req
870. Very impressive!Copy !req
871. The Japanese Army!Copy !req
872. Quickly!Copy !req
873. On behalf of the Emperor of Japan,
the commander of the Kantong ArmyCopy !req
874. extends his warmest congratulations on the
occasion of His Majesty's coronation.Copy !req
875. Manchukuo will grow into a bright vision.Copy !req
876. Japan will always be on
the side of the Emperor.Copy !req
877. Uh, may I introduce you?
My wife, the Princess Hiro Saga.Copy !req
878. Prime Minister Hsiao Hsiu.Copy !req
879. Honorable Chang Chinghui,
Minister of Defense.Copy !req
880. The monseigneur,
Monseigneur Colonna.Copy !req
881. The Empress and I accept with
great pleasure.Copy !req
882. Excuse me, General.Copy !req
883. Ahh! And now Mr. Amakasu. He's the new chief
of the Manchuria Motion Picture Studio.Copy !req
884. Why do you have to spoil this day? Why?Copy !req
885. Mr. Amakasu is the most
powerful man in Manchukuo.Copy !req
886. What are you talking about?Copy !req
887. You did not believe I could be
Emperor again, but I am.Copy !req
888. You are blind.Copy !req
889. Do you know what it means
to be an empress?Copy !req
890. You are an empress!Copy !req
891. Why do you not make love to
me anymore?Copy !req
892. Because you have become an
opium addict.Copy !req
893. Opium killed my mother.
Opium destroyed China.Copy !req
894. You can buy opium anywhere
in Manchukuo!Copy !req
895. - Shut up!
- In any shop.Copy !req
896. Shut up!Copy !req
897. Your brother is going
to have a child.Copy !req
898. We must have a child.
We must have an heir.Copy !req
899. Emperor Hirohito has officially
invited us to Japan.Copy !req
900. I'm going alone.
You are staying here.Copy !req
901. I would never go to Japan.Copy !req
902. Then go to your room!Copy !req
903. Ten thousand years to
His Majesty, the Emperor!Copy !req
904. Ten thousand years!Copy !req
905. Ten thousand years to His Majesty!Copy !req
906. To His Majesty, ten thousand years!Copy !req
907. I told you, I hate you.Copy !req
908. Only because I give you what you need.Copy !req
909. Now we're engaged.Copy !req
910. - Good morning.
- Good morning.Copy !req
911. Good morning, sir.Copy !req
912. You forgot my toothpowder.Copy !req
913. Oh... yes, sir.Copy !req
914. Move him!Copy !req
915. 981!
Collect your things!Copy !req
916. I said, collect your things!Copy !req
917. Keep to the story.
That is an order.Copy !req
918. Upstairs!Copy !req
919. Stop!Copy !req
920. Your laces are undone.
Do them up!Copy !req
921. Thursday, you serve lunch.Copy !req
922. Friday, you clean the toilet.Copy !req
923. Saturday, you sweep the floor.Copy !req
924. I have never been separated
from my family.Copy !req
925. You'd better get used to it!Copy !req
926. It's not so bad.
People get used to anything.Copy !req
927. You do not remember me, do you?Copy !req
928. I was the Minister of Trade,
in Manchukuo.Copy !req
929. You were all in Manchukuo.Copy !req
930. Now I'm the cell leader.Copy !req
931. It is important to follow the rules here.Copy !req
932. No talking during study sessions!Copy !req
933. Where is your gun, Captain?
Where are their swords?Copy !req
934. Our weapons have been removed,
Your Majesty, on orders of Colonel Yoshioka.Copy !req
935. Colonel Yoshioka?Copy !req
936. Colonel Yoshioka!Copy !req
937. What has happened here?
Why has my guard been disarmed?Copy !req
938. Yes, it is very unfortunate, Your Majesty.Copy !req
939. There have been many
changes while you were in Tokyo.Copy !req
940. Your Majesty, may I present Masaomi Kobayakawa,
the new Japanese Ambassador to Manchukuo.Copy !req
941. Why is Prime Minister Hsiao
Hsiu not here to receive me?Copy !req
942. The Prime Minister has resigned,
Your Majesty.Copy !req
943. His son has been assassinated.Copy !req
944. - Assassinated?
- By communist bandits, Your Majesty.Copy !req
945. I must see him at once.Copy !req
946. He refuses to see anyone, Your Majesty.
He has gone to a monastery, far away.Copy !req
947. Who are you?Copy !req
948. Chang Chinghui, Your Majesty,
Minister of Defense.Copy !req
949. Yes.Copy !req
950. Of course.Copy !req
951. The council meeting will be at four o'clock,
Your Majesty, before the state dinner.Copy !req
952. The Emperor has been asked to
sign the following.Copy !req
953. After careful consideration,Copy !req
954. we have decided to nominate the Honorable Chang
Chinghui as the new Prime Minister of Manchukuo.Copy !req
955. No.Copy !req
956. Today, on our return from Japan, we wish
to speak of something more important.Copy !req
957. The future of our friendship with Japan.Copy !req
958. This is based on mutual respect,Copy !req
959. and respect means equality
and independence.Copy !req
960. When the two Emperors stood together
and saluted the two national flags,Copy !req
961. they recognized that Manchukuo
had come of age.Copy !req
962. Manchukuo is not a colony.
Manchukuo is Manchuria.Copy !req
963. The relationship between our two countries
is like the relationship between these two Emperors.Copy !req
964. It is rooted in paternal trust,Copy !req
965. in... in the desire to preserve
our ancient traditions,Copy !req
966. and in a mutual respect for
our national identities.Copy !req
967. Already, we have welcomed the ambassadors
of El Salvador, Costa Rica, the Vatican...Copy !req
968. Soon I'm... I'm sure the other
countries will follow.Copy !req
969. Chang Chinghui was an idiot.Copy !req
970. He thought the open board were there
to decrease production.Copy !req
971. But that was just propaganda.Copy !req
972. What the Japanese really wanted
was cash, more production!Copy !req
973. Of course, they've gotten rid of him.Copy !req
974. Well, I had been in the drug business
all my life... opium, heroin.Copy !req
975. I could deal with the green gang in Shanghai,
even with Chiang Kai Shek.Copy !req
976. That is why the Japanese wanted
me to be Prime Minister.Copy !req
977. You were right.
I was blind.Copy !req
978. I'm going to have a child.
The father is Manchurian.Copy !req
979. Colonel Yoshioka, Mr. Amakasu!Copy !req
980. I did it for you!Copy !req
981. His Majesty forgot to sign the appointment
of the new Prime Minister, Mr. Chang Chinghui!Copy !req
982. I did not forget.Copy !req
983. When an Englishman robs someone,
Your Majesty, he becomes a gentleman.Copy !req
984. If he robs a lot, he becomes a knight.Copy !req
985. Do you imagine the British run
their Empire as a charity?Copy !req
986. If India has to pay for the cost of its own
occupation, so must Manchukuo.Copy !req
987. We hope Manchukuo will have an heir.
The Empress is expecting a child.Copy !req
988. Yes, Your Majesty,
we are aware of the situation.Copy !req
989. This is the name of the father.Copy !req
990. His name is Chang!
He is your driver!Copy !req
991. All the necessary facts have been recorded.
The man will be punished.Copy !req
992. The Emperor cannot allow
his honor to be stained.Copy !req
993. The Japanese are the only
divine race on earth.Copy !req
994. We will take China,
Hong Kong, Indochina,Copy !req
995. Siam, Malaya,
Singapore, and India!Copy !req
996. Asia belongs to us!Copy !req
997. How long have you been here?Copy !req
998. Three years.Copy !req
999. You were issued with the same
clothes as everyone else.Copy !req
1000. Why can't you learn to look
after yourself?Copy !req
1001. There have been complaints
from your cellmates.Copy !req
1002. You must learn how to urinate
at night without waking them all up!Copy !req
1003. The way to do it is to urinate against the side
of the bucket, not into the middle!Copy !req
1004. Yes, comrade.Copy !req
1005. You still think I'm your
servant, don't you?Copy !req
1006. This is the last time, the last time.Copy !req
1007. This is the last time.Copy !req
1008. Why do you think Big Li has been
in prison all this time?Copy !req
1009. Or haven't you thought about it?Copy !req
1010. Because he was my servant.Copy !req
1011. Yes.Copy !req
1012. Loyalty is a great quality, isn't it?Copy !req
1013. So do you think it is unjust that your
loyal servant is punished for serving you?Copy !req
1014. I think it is not a question of justice.Copy !req
1015. It is a question of justice!Copy !req
1016. Even the servant has a choice.Copy !req
1017. Maybe he had nothing to do with
the political decisions of ManchukuoCopy !req
1018. or the crimes that happened
around me.Copy !req
1019. He was the only innocent person there.Copy !req
1020. Sit down.Copy !req
1021. Carmen Li is now a free citizen
of the People's Republic of China.Copy !req
1022. He is being released today.Copy !req
1023. You have a train to catch.Copy !req
1024. This is my wife.
We had three children.Copy !req
1025. You know nothing about me.Copy !req
1026. Thank you.Copy !req
1027. For a long time, I thought you kept
him in prison,Copy !req
1028. because you wanted
someone to look after me.Copy !req
1029. If you went out on the streets of China
today, and people knew who you were,Copy !req
1030. somebody would probably try
to kill you!Copy !req
1031. You talk of your past as if you were
the only one who suffered.Copy !req
1032. Stop hiding behind
your private story.Copy !req
1033. Write it again! All of it.Copy !req
1034. We are all pretending. You are
just pretending you have changed.Copy !req
1035. You cannot speak like that in here.Copy !req
1036. That is counter-revolutionary talk.Copy !req
1037. I know who you all are.Copy !req
1038. You were a captain of
the Imperial Guard,Copy !req
1039. and you become a spy
in the palace.Copy !req
1040. You, the Minister of Trade,Copy !req
1041. were responsible for the starvation
in Manchukuo.Copy !req
1042. He...
Prime Minister of Narcotics.Copy !req
1043. Shut up! The party teaches
us to be new men!Copy !req
1044. We're working for a new China!Copy !req
1045. You worked in Amakasu's private office.Copy !req
1046. You are still the same people!
People do not change.Copy !req
1047. Guard! Guard!Copy !req
1048. Guard!Copy !req
1049. I let it happen.Copy !req
1050. Guard! Guard!Copy !req
1051. I let it happen.Copy !req
1052. The second edict, Your Majesty. Japanese will
be the official language in Manchukuo schools.Copy !req
1053. Your Majesty!Copy !req
1054. The baby was born dead, Your Majesty.Copy !req
1055. How is the Empress?Copy !req
1056. It would be better if she goes
to a clinic, somewhere warm.Copy !req
1057. She's already left,
Your Majesty.Copy !req
1058. Open the door.Copy !req
1059. With Manchukuo now firmly in their grasp, the
Japanese soon controlled most of North China.Copy !req
1060. By 1937, they were ready to strike South,
at the heart of the country.Copy !req
1061. The attack on Shanghai was one of the
first civilian bombing raids in history.Copy !req
1062. It left thousands homeless,
thousands dead.Copy !req
1063. Three months later, Japanese armies were
besieging the provisional capital at Nanking.Copy !req
1064. And when the city fell,
the atrocities began.Copy !req
1065. Trying to terrorize
the rest of China into surrender,Copy !req
1066. the Japanese High Command
ordered a massacre.Copy !req
1067. More than two hundred thousand
civilians were systematically executed.Copy !req
1068. The world watched in horror,
but no help was given.Copy !req
1069. On December the seventh, 1941, Japan
attacked the American fleet at Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
1070. There was no warning.Copy !req
1071. Manchukuo, the Japanese bastion in North China,
was still ruled by the puppet Emperor, Pu Yi.Copy !req
1072. But behind the facade of triumph
was a country enslaved.Copy !req
1073. A country where Japanese experimenting biological
warfare were carried out on live human beings.Copy !req
1074. A country where opium production became
the easiest way to finance the war.Copy !req
1075. Millions of people were deliberately
turned into drug addicts.Copy !req
1076. Nine days after the bomb at Hiroshima,
on August the fifteenth, 1945,Copy !req
1077. Emperor Hirohito announced
the surrender of Japan.Copy !req
1078. It was the first time his voice
had ever been heard on radio.Copy !req
1079. You must get to Tokyo, Your Majesty.Copy !req
1080. You must surrender to
the Americans, not the Russians.Copy !req
1081. The communists will kill everyone!Copy !req
1082. Your excellence have reached Habi.Copy !req
1083. We must leave at once.Copy !req
1084. There is no room in the plane.Copy !req
1085. No trucks!Copy !req
1086. The Empress has returned.Copy !req
1087. Your Majesty, please.Copy !req
1088. The Empress must not know you
have seen her like that.Copy !req
1089. Your Majesty!Copy !req
1090. Hurry! There is no room on the plane,
Your Majesty!Copy !req
1091. The women are looking beat.
We must hurry!Copy !req
1092. Your Majesty!
Your Majesty is leaving now!Copy !req
1093. Now!Copy !req
1094. The Russians!Copy !req
1095. Perhaps you think we are here
to teach men to lie in a new way.Copy !req
1096. Why did you sign every
accusation made against you?Copy !req
1097. I didn't stop you from killing
yourself to see you like this.Copy !req
1098. Someone who signs anything to please
his enemies, to please me!Copy !req
1099. You knew about a lot of things in
Manchukuo, even the secret agreements.Copy !req
1100. But you couldn't possibly have known about the
Japanese biological warfare experiments in Harbin!Copy !req
1101. Could you? So why
did you sign these papers?Copy !req
1102. I was responsible for everything.Copy !req
1103. You are responsible for what you do!Copy !req
1104. All your life you thought you were
better than everyone else.Copy !req
1105. Now you think you're the worst of all!Copy !req
1106. Why can you not leave me
alone?Copy !req
1107. You saved my life to make me
a puppet in your own play.Copy !req
1108. You saved me because I am useful to you.Copy !req
1109. Is that so terrible, to be useful?Copy !req
1110. Aisin-Gioro Pu Yi!Copy !req
1111. By order of the Supreme
People's Court,Copy !req
1112. the war criminal, Aisin-Gioro
Pu Yi, male, fifty-three years old,Copy !req
1113. of the Manchu nationality, and from Peking,Copy !req
1114. has now served
ten years detention!Copy !req
1115. As a result of remolding through labor and
ideological education during his captivity,Copy !req
1116. he has shown that he has
genuinely reformed!Copy !req
1117. In accordance with clause one of the Special
Pardon Order, he is therefore to be released!Copy !req
1118. You see, I will end up living in
prison longer than you.Copy !req
1119. The Red Guards!Copy !req
1120. They are so young.Copy !req
1121. It is dangerous.Copy !req
1122. Look, over there, Pu Chieh, look!Copy !req
1123. It is the governor of our prison!Copy !req
1124. - It cannot be!
- It is! I'm sure it is!Copy !req
1125. Be careful! Come back!Copy !req
1126. Comrade, this must be a mistake!
I know this man! He is a good man.Copy !req
1127. - Who are you?
- I am a gardener.Copy !req
1128. Join us, comrade, or buzz off!Copy !req
1129. - But what has he done?
- He has been accused.Copy !req
1130. - Accused of what? - Imperialismania!
Reactionary elements! Traitor to country!Copy !req
1131. - Confess your crimes!
- I have nothing to confess.Copy !req
1132. Kowtow to Chairman Mao!Copy !req
1133. - Confess your crimes!
- I have nothing to confess.Copy !req
1134. Kowtow!Copy !req
1135. - Confess your crimes!
- Wait!Copy !req
1136. He's a teacher!
He is a good teacher!Copy !req
1137. - You! Get out of here!
- You can't do this to him!Copy !req
1138. Move!
You want to be him?Copy !req
1139. You are wrong!
He is a good teacher!Copy !req
1140. Decision of reactionary element!
Decision of reactionary element!Copy !req
1141. Stop!
You are not allowed in there!Copy !req
1142. - Who are you? - I live here!
I'm the son of the guardian!Copy !req
1143. Ah, well, I used to live here, too.Copy !req
1144. That is where I sat.Copy !req
1145. Who are you?Copy !req
1146. I was the Emperor of China.Copy !req
1147. Prove it!Copy !req
1148. This is the Hall of Supreme Harmony where
the Emperors were crowned.Copy !req
1149. The last Emperor to be crowned
here was Aisin-Gioro Pu Yi.Copy !req
1150. He was three years old.
He died in 1967.Copy !req
