Learning English With Tv Series, The Crown Episode 4

523

When it's in the national interest?

How far dare I go?

524

I'm not sure if her Majesty is aware,

525

but shortly before your father died

the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Eden, came,

526

begging his late Majesty to intervene[A1] ,

527

if not on an official level,

then on a personal one.

528

As a friend.

To bid the Prime Minister to resign.

529

-What did my father say?

-Well...

530

His Majesty was,

like his father before him,

531

a stickler for convention[A2]  and tradition,

532

and would never have done anything

that violated the constitution,

533

or overstepped the mark[A3] .

534

-Then I have my answer.

-But...

535

that was His Majesty, not Your Majesty.

536

And I do read the newspapers,

and I do listen to the wireless,

537

and the situation we're in today

is quite different,

538

than the one we were in when Mr. Eden

came to see your father.

539

Different situation, different sovereign.

540

[Churchill] Wait for me here.

541

[coughing]

542

[chaotic chatter]

543

[door opens]

544

Sir.

545

Just a child.

546

A beautiful child.

547

I just received word

from Buckingham Palace.

548

-The Queen has requested an audience.

-When?

549

At your earliest convenience[A4] .

550

"All energy and hope

and passion and fire."

551

Sir?

552

[curious whispering]

553

-Do the newspapers know I'm here?

-No.

554

-But it could easily be arranged.

-Then do it.

555

And tell the Queen

I'll be there first thing in the morning.

556

After the papers.

557

[chatter]

558

Good God.

559

Dear God.

560

Just come on in, the Prime Minister

will be here in a few moments.

561

[muttering]

562

[knocking]

563

-They're ready for you, sir.

-Yes, yes. One moment.

564

[reporters clamor[A5] ]

565

[journalist] Quiet. Please. Settle down.

566

-Mr. Churchill?

-I have witnessed scenes here today,

567

the likes of which we have not seen

since the darkest days of the Blitz[A6] .

568

But alongside[A7]  the suffering,

I have also seen heroism.

569

And where there is heroism

there will always be hope.

570

Only God can lift the fog,

but I, as Prime Minister,

571

am in position to ease [A8] the suffering.

572

00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,840

To that end, I pledge to make available[A9] 

with immediate effect[A10] ,

573

more money for hospital staff,

more money for equipment,

574

and a full and independent public enquiry[A11] 

into the causes of air pollution...

575

to ensure that such a calamity[A12] 

576

may never befall[A13]  us again.

577

Thank you all.

578

[reporters shout questions]

579

[Philip] "The Prime Minister

was alone among senior politicians

580

to visit hospitals

and respond to the crisis in person.

581

And was rewarded by cheers and applause,

582

by those suffering through the worst smog

this city has ever witnessed."

583

The headline reads,

"True leader in a crisis."

584

[knocking on door]

585

Ma'am, the Prime Minister's here.

586

"The parallels[A14] 

between his appearance yesterday,

587

and the war time years was striking[A15] .

588

And his personal popularity

among the people remains undimmed[A16] ."

589

Hello?

590

Clem, are you still there? Hello? Clem

591

Clem, can you hear me? No, right...
