:43:03
And now, Selim, "The Brightness."
:43:06
" By the noonday brightness...
:43:08
...and by the night
when it darkeneth...
:43:10
...thy Lord hath not forsaken thee...
:43:13
...neither hath He been displeased.
:43:16
And surely the future shall be better
for thee than the past."
:43:20
"And in the end shall your Lord be
bounteous to thee...
:43:23
...and thou be satisfied."
:43:28
So?
:43:31
Yes, colonel.
:43:32
-I want a decision, sir.
-You want me to fall back on Yenbo.
:43:36
Well, you're not doing
much good here, sir.
:43:39
I'm sorry to rub it in, sir,
but we can't supply you here.
:43:43
You could supply us through Aqaba!
:43:45
Aqaba!
:43:47
If you can get ahold of Aqaba,
we can supply you.
:43:50
-But you can't!
-You could.
:43:53
You mean, the navy?
:43:56
The Turks have 12-inch guns
at Aqaba, sir.
:43:59
Can you imagine what that means?
:44:01
Yes, I can imagine.
:44:03
Put that out of your mind, sir.
The navy's got other things to do.
:44:08
Oh, yes. Protecting the Suez Canal.
:44:11
The one essential sector of this front
is and must be the canal.
:44:14
You can see that, sir, surely.
:44:16
I see that the canal is
an essential British interest.
:44:19
It is of little consequence to us.
:44:22
I must ask you not to speak like that.
:44:24
British and Arab interests are
one and the same.
:44:28
Possibly.
:44:31
Upon my word, sir, you're ungratef ul.
:44:34
Fall back on Yenbo and we will
give you equipment.
:44:36
Give you arms, advice,
training, everything.
:44:39
-Guns?
-A modern rifle for every man.
:44:42
No. Guns. Artillery.
:44:45
Guns like the Turkish guns at Medina.
:44:48
Yes, give us guns
and keep the training.
:44:51
Your men need training
far more than guns, sir.
:44:55
English will teach
Bedu to fight?
:44:57
We will teach them, Sherif Ali,
to fight a modern mechanized army.
