Why?

My wish

Here is to keep you in the harem of the Emir.

Would be delighted.

Fatima.

That's not my desire.

When she comes?

You know?

I am delighted to welcome the guest.

He wanted to say "I am thrilled to welcome his wife

in my harem."

Yes, my wife.

Emir...

It's an honor to meet you.

I am already married.

I am a member of the British consulate.

And this will cause a problem

both for himself and for his country.

Said to me was something else.

No man ever reaches a married woman.

Prophet, peace be upon him, told us that

.

Dear Richard.

It is clear from what I saw that the house of Rashid

ruin it.

It now seems that his star is rising

Ibn Fold.

And the future of Saudi

Central is established with him

Not those of Hayri.

This should communicate

British intelligence service.

Explorations that we have undertaken in recent years

Territories and their people's life and tribal governments,

Were combined into a single image that only

I can paint.

As for me, I felt

long years of preparation,

Preparation for what I did not know how it ends.

And a new destiny

Unfolds before me.

Now I just get back to you.

Damascus

Let's find a quiet place.

I read your diary.

It was for you.

The world is changing.

I was in the desert and I turned into a World War

And I have never been announced.

Now it's all over Europe.

Russia, Japan...

Now America.

Gertrude must tell you something.

I re-enlisted in active service.

I expected.

When I return from the war.

Should shed deal with Judith.

Should be free.

I'd rather shoot a bullet in the head

,

Than live without you.

Why is that?

Gertrude...

You should know something.

Judith pleasantries ominous.

And I will commit suicide if I try to divorce.

I understand.

I think not, but...

Love is a tyrant.

Cairo, the British Office

July 1915 - Arab

Gertie... oriental secretary.

Congratulations.

Like invented the postage stamp.

- That's all your stuff?

- Yes.

You became senior adviser, Lawrence.

You've turned into a political animal.

- Are practically mediator, but...

- What?

You know that a man like me

course knows a woman like you

've Become a sort of queen.

No, just a woman who lacks

a man.

You mean the officer who was joined

glorious war.

Yes.

Pyramids of Giza

Present

Miss Bell... you want to get close, please.

- Pyramids of Giza in the frame.

- Mr Churchill

Please do not move.

Mr. Churchill

What do you expect from the conference?

Guys, let's face it...

A new order in the Arab world.

Mr. Churchill, with this new focus in the Middle East

,

Like with our policy relating to British India.

Churchill wants to sell it as an embodiment of the British Empire.

What else is?

Come on, Lawrence.

Not lead them towards autonomy.

Are Arab nations that have awakened. They are their accomplishments.

Course.

British Empire Lions.

Mr Lawrence, here please.

The pyramids in the background,

for pictures. Gentlemen...

We take a picture.

Putin left, sir.

Hold on, Mr. Lawrence.

Gentlemen, I found this camp.

The photos are great.

Sir Lawrence!

Another one like that, please, Mr. Churchill.

My cigar was finished.

That's the end of the world.

Another one, Mr. Churchill.

You look great.

400 years of history on you.

Shut Lawrence.

Said that Napoleon before you.

Yes, now all. Excellent!

Our losses at Gallipoli...

Forces and Australian expedition were

30,000 people in one day.

General,

those are things secret.

No matter,

tomorrow everyone will cry loudly.

Doughty-Wylie , who led the attack.

I was already ordered the Victoria Cross.

You said Richard?

Richard Doughty-Wylie ?

Royal Welch Fusiliers .

But it's only Victoria Cross

for their fallen heroes.

Right.

I said was killed in battle.

I think there will be problems

his wife.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Fattuh,

what I'd do without you?

As a result Mrs

to the end of the world.

Dear diary...

With pain in my heart back to you,

It's like my life was ended

Like love

not meant for me.

And just big tasks which I have

make me continue.

Cairo again became one of the centers of the world.

And I begin a new life.

A life politician.

Gertrude...

Prince Faisal asked to see you.

It seems to be everywhere.

How to behave with his brothers

the third son of Sharif Hussein.

His brother is interested only horse racing.

Gertrude,

Faisal's skilful, he's cunning, he is ruthless.

But

it seems to be appropriate for these times.

- At least be honest...

- It's dangerous to be honest.

Unless you're too stupid.

England will have to withdraw from the colonies

sooner or later.

I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is

.

My brother Faisal and I read your memorandum

about Arab war.

Congratulations.

You've expressed our feelings.

No one in the West knows no

heart of a Bedouin better than you.

Bedouins tell you...

Noble lady.

I am honored.

And we agree with those who call you Mama

believers.

A title given to the wife of the Prophet, peace be upon him

.

In front of the direct descendants of the Prophet

And to the people desert

I do not deserve this honor.

Your falcon is fit for a king.

Soon you will be king.

Over whom?

Over those who love them.

What makes an English

to love us so much?

I had a reliable man

Well, he saved my life.

Often in the desert.

It has an old mother when she speaks

Says...

Fattuh I trust that buries me.

Then talks about the weather,

God speaks...

And just this... for him...

You will always be in my heart.

.

Go in peace.

How could you know that you will be king?

She's Giving kings.
