00:00:36,184 --> 00:00:41,It was almost midnight when Edward
entered Mandalay railway station.

00:00:45,464 --> 00:00:47,He was wearing a groom's suit,

00:00:48,024 --> 00:00:50,was holding
a bunch of tropical flowers,

00:00:50,745 --> 00:00:53,and was utterly drunk.

00:01:03,384 --> 00:01:06,He dreamt all night long

00:01:06,424 --> 00:01:11,as the train traveled to Rangoon,

00:01:11,385 --> 00:01:13,the capital of Burma.

00:02:33,625 --> 00:02:36,It was dawn in Rangoon,

00:02:36,346 --> 00:02:40,and the heavy air
announced a tropical storm.

00:02:41,146 --> 00:02:44,Although Edward couldn't remember
what he had dreamt,

00:02:44,666 --> 00:02:49,the anguish of the dream
accompanied him to the port.

00:03:57,467 --> 00:04:02,Edward hadn't seen his fiancée Molly

00:04:02,587 --> 00:04:04,for seven years.

00:04:09,627 --> 00:04:13,He tried to remember her face,

00:04:13,627 --> 00:04:15,but couldn't.

00:04:19,227 --> 00:04:23,He would have liked to disappear
through one of the countless holes

00:04:24,027 --> 00:04:29,that were multiplying
along the pier's planking.

00:04:43,068 --> 00:04:46,He imagined himself floating gently

00:04:46,748 --> 00:04:51,in the muddy river stream.

00:04:58,268 --> 00:05:03,The ship from London was
already visible in the distance.

00:05:30,748 --> 00:05:34,"Arrivals: London, 11.20.
Departures: Singapore..."

00:05:34,268 --> 00:05:35,After discarding the flowers,

00:05:35,869 --> 00:05:39,Edward sneaked
aboard the ship to Singapore.

00:05:56,668 --> 00:06:01,It was January 4th 1918.

00:06:28,029 --> 00:06:29,Edward!

00:06:29,629 --> 00:06:32,What a surprise
to see you here, old turtle!

00:06:32,189 --> 00:06:33,Hello, Reginald.

00:06:33,949 --> 00:06:35,What brings you to Singapore?

00:06:36,029 --> 00:06:37,The Rangoon steamer brought me.

00:06:40,509 --> 00:06:41,You're all dressed up.

00:06:43,389 --> 00:06:46,How are you, old man?
You look like you're constipated.

00:06:47,390 --> 00:06:49,How is my beautiful cousin doing?

00:06:49,790 --> 00:06:51,Fine, I believe.

00:06:52,509 --> 00:06:54,This is Edward Abbot,

00:06:54,749 --> 00:06:58,the most illustrious representative
of the British crown in Burma!

00:06:58,430 --> 00:07:02,Also the fiancé of my dear cousin Molly
for over seven years,

00:07:02,429 --> 00:07:05,without the corollary of an engagement
ever materializing.

00:07:06,269 --> 00:07:09,So when is the wedding, you rascal?

00:07:12,830 --> 00:07:14,You look strange, Edward!

00:07:14,590 --> 00:07:15,Is that right?

00:07:17,309 --> 00:07:19,Good morning, Mr. Singleton.

00:07:19,870 --> 00:07:22,Yesterday you forgot
to pay for your drinks.

00:07:22,910 --> 00:07:24,A lapse.

00:07:24,190 --> 00:07:27,Mr. Abbot,
here's the tailor at your service.

00:07:27,230 --> 00:07:30,Your shirts and trousers
can be ready within 24 hours,

00:07:30,910 --> 00:07:33,and the suit in three or four days.
Is that amenable?

00:07:34,110 --> 00:07:35,Perfect.
- Good.

00:07:35,870 --> 00:07:38,The clothes will be delivered
to your room.

00:07:38,270 --> 00:07:41,What the hell! Haven't you brought
any clothes from Burma?

00:07:41,950 --> 00:07:44,I fell asleep
without packing my suitcase.

00:07:47,550 --> 00:07:51,I came to sort out some deadly boring
administrative matters.

00:07:52,990 --> 00:07:55,Tell me all about
these administrative matters.

00:07:55,710 --> 00:07:56,A telegram, Mr. Abbot.

00:08:00,510 --> 00:08:02,Eighteen Singapore Slings?

00:08:22,271 --> 00:08:24,ARRIVING - STOP - M

00:08:28,991 --> 00:08:30,You're a spy, Edward!

00:08:31,230 --> 00:08:33,I believe you have my measurements now.

00:08:35,231 --> 00:08:37,- Are you?
- Give me a break, Reginald.

00:08:43,231 --> 00:08:47,What is the furthest destination
I can reach from the station today?

00:08:48,831 --> 00:08:51,The Bangkok express
leaves in an hour.

00:08:52,671 --> 00:08:53,Leaving again?

00:08:53,951 --> 00:08:57,I don't know what you're mixed up in,
but I'm proud to be your friend

00:08:57,951 --> 00:09:00,I'm so happy to know
you're engaged to my cousin.

00:09:00,991 --> 00:09:02,Let me hug you.

00:09:04,672 --> 00:09:06,You can count on my discretion.

00:09:06,592 --> 00:09:07,God save the King!

00:09:07,871 --> 00:09:08,See you soon, Reginald.

00:09:26,752 --> 00:09:31,Edward let himself be carried away
by the jungle's night sounds.

00:09:35,712 --> 00:09:38,He had a violent erection.

00:09:40,672 --> 00:09:44,He also felt he was stinking,
and needed a bath.

00:09:49,312 --> 00:09:53,He closed his eyes
and began to dream.

00:10:32,033 --> 00:10:34,Edward woke up startled.

00:10:34,913 --> 00:10:38,He found himself
in the most awkward situation.

00:11:28,033 --> 00:11:29,What a beautiful morning.

00:12:08,514 --> 00:12:11,The birds fell silent
as someone announced

00:12:11,714 --> 00:12:14,that a new train would arrive soon.

00:13:00,195 --> 00:13:02,Edward entered a village.

00:13:06,115 --> 00:13:08,The inhabitants
were not very talkative.

00:15:55,397 --> 00:15:57,I've lived a thousand years,

00:15:59,237 --> 00:16:01,yet I'm still a virgin.

00:16:04,517 --> 00:16:07,These fellows
are sleeping and snoring.

00:16:10,117 --> 00:16:14,What a lack of manners!

00:16:14,758 --> 00:16:16,What a disgrace!

00:16:17,317 --> 00:16:23,What a contrast to this lovely couple.

00:16:24,197 --> 00:16:29,Anyway, today is a good day
to have a husband.

00:16:31,878 --> 00:16:36,So, the giantess takes the prince
into the peaks.

00:16:39,078 --> 00:16:42,She sneaks with such determination
into the woods

00:16:44,038 --> 00:16:47,that, quickly and hidden from view,

00:16:47,878 --> 00:16:51,she soon withdraws
into her gilded cave.

00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:53,Edward hired a guide.

00:17:56,678 --> 00:17:58,His name was Umar.

00:17:59,399 --> 00:18:01,He knew the jungle well,

00:18:01,319 --> 00:18:04,and was able to take Edward
safely to Bangkok.

00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:10,Umar was accompanied
by his three wives.

00:20:25,161 --> 00:20:26,Boy, what a mess!

00:20:28,361 --> 00:20:31,Why would any man
want to marry three women anyway?

00:23:39,564 --> 00:23:44,Having just arrived in Bangkok,
Edward met a Welshman he knew,

00:23:44,844 --> 00:23:46,a British attache at the embassy.

00:23:47,563 --> 00:23:50,His name was Godfrey,
a very loud fellow.

00:23:54,604 --> 00:23:57,Godfrey greeted his friend effusively.

00:23:58,284 --> 00:24:02,He thought Edward had come from Burma
to attend the prince's birthday.

00:24:04,204 --> 00:24:08,Godfrey was with other members
of the British diplomatic corps in Asia.

00:24:10,124 --> 00:24:13,Bobby, who'd come from Beijing,
Mrs. Hughes, from Hong Kong,

00:24:13,324 --> 00:24:15,Johnson and all the Ceylon staff,

00:24:15,564 --> 00:24:18,Archie from Tokyo,
and even Fat Turtle,

00:24:18,604 --> 00:24:22,who spread syphilis
all over the continent.

00:24:25,325 --> 00:24:28,They dragged Edward to the palace

00:24:28,364 --> 00:24:32,while singing an old rowing song
at the top of their lungs.

00:24:34,284 --> 00:24:36,Edward didn't utter a word.

00:24:36,204 --> 00:24:39,He was as white as a sheet and shaking.

00:25:26,125 --> 00:25:29,I really appreciate
that you've taken the trouble

00:25:29,325 --> 00:25:32,to come to this occasion.

00:25:32,205 --> 00:25:34,Thank you. It means a lot to me.

00:25:34,446 --> 00:25:35,Edward!

00:25:36,045 --> 00:25:39,Rice growing and exports are enjoying
an unprecedented boom.

00:25:39,246 --> 00:25:41,Taxes on these activities
have been channeled

00:25:41,805 --> 00:25:44,into improving
the provincial administration.

00:25:45,966 --> 00:25:49,You're different from the others.
Where have you come from?

00:25:49,645 --> 00:25:54,From Mandalay, in Upper Burma.
And before that, from London.

00:25:54,765 --> 00:25:57,Very beautiful cities,
which I've heard about,

00:25:58,125 --> 00:26:00,and which one day
I'll have the pleasure of knowing.

00:26:01,005 --> 00:26:02,I'm still very young.

00:26:05,006 --> 00:26:07,I wish you all the best for your reign.

00:26:08,366 --> 00:26:09,Thank you for your kindness,

00:26:09,966 --> 00:26:13,although you're greeting me
as if it's my coronation.

00:26:13,806 --> 00:26:17,It's only my birthday,
and I'm very happy about that.

00:26:20,526 --> 00:26:22,Is there a way out of the palace?

00:26:22,606 --> 00:26:25,Yes. Across the room,
at the end of the arcade.

00:26:26,126 --> 00:26:27,I wish you luck.

00:26:28,206 --> 00:26:31,The same to you.
I hope the rest of the day goes well.

00:27:24,046 --> 00:27:29,Edward headed for French territory
as a stowaway on a fishing boat.

00:27:34,447 --> 00:27:36,He crossed the gulf to Saigon.

00:27:38,607 --> 00:27:41,Inside the cramped hold
he lost track of time.

00:27:44,207 --> 00:27:46,He was feverish,

00:27:46,767 --> 00:27:48,soaked in sweat.

00:27:49,327 --> 00:27:52,He would fall asleep
and wake up shivering.

00:27:53,327 --> 00:27:54,The prospect of imminent death

00:27:55,088 -->...
