Your grandfather was friend
of his majesty, The Emperor.
:03:27
The Emperor once
asked him...
:03:29
''Well, my friend,
what's new?''
:03:33
Like the dew
from heaven sent...
:03:37
May on him
be blessings spent.
:03:40
May they give the strength
for all of his deeds.
:03:43
ln all lands
may he glory earn...
:03:45
our welfare
is his one concern.
:03:48
Woe to those
who dare reject...
:03:50
his hand of peace,
so circumspect.
:03:53
His holy wrath
shall strike them now...
:03:57
with laurels
to adorn his brow.
:04:00
Very nice, young Redl.
Sit down.
:04:03
Maybe you'll become a great
poet of our motherland.
:04:07
l haven't heard
such a glorious poem...
:04:10
about His Majesty
for a long time.
:04:13
Sir, this is the boy,
Alfred Redl.
:04:16
l humbly ask
for your support...
:04:19
to help him enter...
:04:22
the lmperial and Royal
Cadet School.
:04:25
Always remember to keep
a straight posture.
:04:29
We will be
so proud of you.
:04:32
And we shall never forget
what the Emperor...
:04:35
has done for us.
:04:38
How wonderful
it would be...
:04:40
if you would return
as an officer.
:04:43
What an honor.
:04:48
Your grandpa was just
a poor peasant.
:04:51
And you suddenly
get this honor.
:04:55
Never forget that the Emperor
made this possible.
:04:58
Always be grateful.
