We leave no wounded for the Turks.
:36:04
-You mean...?
-We leave no wounded for the Turks.

:36:08
In their eyes, we are not
soldiers but rebels.

:36:11
Rebels, wounded or whole, are
not protected by the Geneva Code...

:36:16
...and are treated harshly.
:36:18
How harshly?
:36:19
More harshly than I hope
you can imagine.

:36:23
I see.
:36:24
Our own prisoners are taken care of
until the British...

:36:27
...can relieve us of them,
according to the Code.

:36:31
-I should like you to notice that.
-Yes, sir.

:36:36
Is that the influence
of Major Lawrence?

:36:39
Why should you suppose?
:36:41
It's just that I heard
in Cairo that...

:36:43
...Major Lawrence has
a horror of bloodshed.

:36:46
That is exactly so.
:36:48
With Major Lawrence,
mercy is a passion.

:36:51
With me, it is merely good manners.
:36:54
You may judge which motive
is the more reliable.

:36:59
-And now, perhaps....
-Oh, sure, sure.

:37:06
Thank you, sir.
:37:08
Can you manage the letter--?
:37:10
I'll do everything I have said...
:37:13
...if you will tell me truly
the nature of your interest...

:37:16
...in my people and Major Lawrence.
:37:20
It's very simple, sir.
I'm looking for a hero.

:37:24
Indeed.
You do not seem a romantic man.

:37:26
Oh, no.
:37:28
But influential men back home believe
it's time for America...

:37:31
...to lend her weight to
the struggle against Germany.

:37:34
And Turkey.
:37:36
I've been sent to find material to
show our people that this war is....

:37:41
-Enjoyable?
-Hardly that, sir.

:37:44
But to show it in its
more adventurous aspects.

:37:47
You look for a figure who
will draw your country towards war.

:37:52
All right. Yes.
:37:54
Lawrence is your man.
