1
00:05:16,403 --> 00:05:19,404
Every second bastard born
is fathered by a priest.

2
00:05:25,162 --> 00:05:27,119
But in Utopia that couldn't be.

3
00:05:27,205 --> 00:05:28,236
For why?

4
00:05:28,331 --> 00:05:31,700
-For there the priests are very holy.
-Therefore very few.

5
00:05:34,171 --> 00:05:36,412
Is it anything interesting, Matthew?

6
00:05:37,090 --> 00:05:40,589
-Bless you, sir. I don't know.
-Bless you too, Matthew.

7
00:05:45,849 --> 00:05:48,340
To be sure, we have
some holy priests in England.

8
00:05:48,435 --> 00:05:50,760
-Oh, name some.
-Brother James.

9
00:05:51,354 --> 00:05:53,181
Man's a simpleton.

10
00:05:54,608 --> 00:05:56,399
It's from Cardinal Wolsey.

11
00:05:58,028 --> 00:05:59,308
What's he want?

12
00:05:59,905 --> 00:06:01,019
-Me.
-When?

13
00:06:01,156 --> 00:06:02,021
Now.

14
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:05,069
In Hampton Court?
You won't be there by midnight.

15
00:06:05,827 --> 00:06:08,449
-The King's business.
-Queen's business.

16
00:06:08,788 --> 00:06:11,077
Mistress Anne Boleyn's business.

17
00:06:11,208 --> 00:06:14,374
Well, it's all the Cardinal's business.

18
00:06:14,503 --> 00:06:18,714
That's very true. And when the Cardinal
calls, you all come running, day or night.

19
00:06:18,798 --> 00:06:21,799
What is the man? A butcher's son.

20
00:06:22,093 --> 00:06:23,671
Chancellor of England, too.

21
00:06:23,762 --> 00:06:26,253
No, that's his office. What's the man?

22
00:06:27,140 --> 00:06:30,260
Surely, Your Grace,
when a man rises so high and so swiftly...

23
00:06:30,352 --> 00:06:33,222
...we must think he was misplaced
in his origins.

24
00:06:34,731 --> 00:06:37,269
That, at least,
was the opinion of Aristotle and....

25
00:06:38,485 --> 00:06:40,442
A butcher's son and looks it.

26
00:06:40,821 --> 00:06:43,146
His looks, yes, I give you his looks.

27
00:06:45,283 --> 00:06:47,359
What was that you said, Richard?

28
00:06:48,537 --> 00:06:50,529
Nothing, Sir Thomas, it was out of place.

29
00:06:51,998 --> 00:06:53,991
And Wolsey's still a butcher.

30
00:06:54,501 --> 00:06:58,000
And you're a member of the King's
High Council, not an errand boy.

31
00:06:58,088 --> 00:06:59,748
That is why I must go.

32
00:07:00,215 --> 00:07:02,884
The Duke would go
if the Cardinal called him.

33
00:07:03,635 --> 00:07:04,833
I might.

34
00:07:06,930 --> 00:07:08,757
I'll be back for breakfast.

35
00:07:09,683 --> 00:07:10,797
Go to bed.

36
00:07:12,394 --> 00:07:16,391
"Dear Lord, give us rest tonight,
or if we must be wakeful, cheerful.

37
00:07:16,523 --> 00:07:20,984
"Careful only for our soul's salvation.
For Christ's sake. Amen."

38
00:07:22,362 --> 00:07:24,271
And bless our lord, the King.

39
00:07:25,282 --> 00:07:27,951
-"And bless our lord, the King."
-Amen!

40
00:07:28,034 --> 00:07:30,786
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Goodnight, Your Grace.

41
00:07:35,667 --> 00:07:38,703
Keep clear of Wolsey, Thomas.
He's a frightened man.

42
00:07:40,964 --> 00:07:43,716
-Who is that?
-A young friend from Cambridge.

43
00:07:43,842 --> 00:07:46,926
-What's he want?
-What do they all want? A position.

44
00:07:47,137 --> 00:07:50,138
-Can you give him a position?
-Do you recommend him?

45
00:07:50,765 --> 00:07:51,797
No.

46
00:08:09,409 --> 00:08:11,402
-Sir Thomas.
-No.

47
00:08:12,037 --> 00:08:14,195
-Did you recommend me?
-No.

48
00:08:16,333 --> 00:08:18,740
Richard, I may have a position for you.

49
00:08:18,877 --> 00:08:23,005
-What? What position?
-Not now, Richard. Tomorrow.

50
00:09:04,881 --> 00:09:06,459
For you all, boatman.

51
00:09:07,175 --> 00:09:08,504
Thank you, sir.

52
00:09:29,823 --> 00:09:32,777
Sir Thomas is here, Your Grace.
Sir Thomas.

53
00:09:33,285 --> 00:09:34,660
Master Cromwell.

54
00:09:49,217 --> 00:09:52,717
You opposed me in the Council
this morning, Thomas.

55
00:09:53,555 --> 00:09:54,930
Yes, Your Grace.

56
00:09:55,849 --> 00:09:59,016
-You were the only one.
-Yes, Your Grace.

57
00:10:00,437 --> 00:10:01,682
You're a fool.

58
00:10:03,106 --> 00:10:05,893
Thank God there is only one fool
on the Council.

59
00:10:09,696 --> 00:10:11,605
Why did you oppose me?

60
00:10:12,574 --> 00:10:14,613
I thought Your Grace was wrong.

61
00:10:16,244 --> 00:10:17,952
A matter of conscience.

62
00:10:20,123 --> 00:10:22,495
You're a constant regret to me, Thomas.

63
00:10:23,293 --> 00:10:25,784
If you could just see facts flat on...

64
00:10:25,879 --> 00:10:29,046
...without that horrible moral squint.

65
00:10:30,258 --> 00:10:33,793
With a little common sense,
you could have made a statesman.

66
00:10:40,310 --> 00:10:41,389
The King.

67
00:11:08,463 --> 00:11:11,630
Where's he been? Do you know?

68
00:11:12,676 --> 00:11:13,921
I, Your Grace?

69
00:11:14,845 --> 00:11:16,921
Spare me your discretion.

70
00:11:18,348 --> 00:11:22,346
He's been to play in the muck again.

71
00:11:24,604 --> 00:11:26,763
He's been to Mistress Anne Boleyn.

72
00:11:32,445 --> 00:11:36,229
More, are you going to help me?

73
00:11:38,910 --> 00:11:41,532
If Your Grace will be specific.

74
00:11:42,581 --> 00:11:45,914
You're a plodder! All right, we'll plod.

75
00:11:46,585 --> 00:11:49,751
The King wants a son.
What are you going to do about it?

76
00:11:50,005 --> 00:11:54,049
I'm very sure the King needs no advice
from me on what to do about it.

77
00:11:54,885 --> 00:11:58,336
Thomas, we're alone.
I give you my word, there's no one here.

78
00:11:58,430 --> 00:12:00,837
I didn't suppose there was, Your Grace.

79
00:12:04,436 --> 00:12:08,136
Do you favour a change of dynasty?
Do you think two Tudors are sufficient?

80
00:12:08,231 --> 00:12:09,429
For God's sake, Your Grace!

81
00:12:09,524 --> 00:12:13,024
Then he needs a son. I repeat,
what are you going to do about it?

82
00:12:13,153 --> 00:12:14,398
I pray for it daily.

83
00:12:14,488 --> 00:12:16,776
God's death, he means it.

84
00:12:17,574 --> 00:12:20,824
That thing out there, at least she's fertile.

85
00:12:21,661 --> 00:12:24,283
-But she's not his wife.
-No, Catherine's his wife...

86
00:12:24,372 --> 00:12:27,741
...and she's barren as a brick.
Are you going to pray for a miracle?

87
00:12:27,834 --> 00:12:29,412
There are precedents.

88
00:12:33,423 --> 00:12:37,006
All right. Good. Pray by all means.

89
00:12:38,303 --> 00:12:43,890
But in addition to prayer there is effort.
And my effort is to secure a divorce.

90
00:12:47,521 --> 00:12:49,809
Have I your support, or have I not?

91
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,227
The Pope gave a dispensation,
so that the King might marry...

92
00:12:57,364 --> 00:12:59,937
...his brother's widow for state reasons.

93
00:13:00,659 --> 00:13:06,033
We are to ask the Pope to dispense with
his dispensation, also for state reasons?

94
00:13:06,122 --> 00:13:08,281
I don't like plodding, Thomas. Well?

95
00:13:08,375 --> 00:13:12,586
Then, clearly all we have to do is
to approach His Holiness and ask him.

96
00:13:12,671 --> 00:13:15,837
I think we might influence
the decision of His Holiness.

97
00:13:16,591 --> 00:13:17,670
By argument?

98
00:13:17,759 --> 00:13:21,627
Argument certainly. And pressure.

99
00:13:22,931 --> 00:13:27,178
Pressure, applied to the Church?
The Church has its church property.

100
00:13:29,271 --> 00:13:30,433
Pressure.

101
00:13:37,112 --> 00:13:40,611
No, Your Grace, I'm not going to help you.

102
00:13:43,493 --> 00:13:46,743
Then goodnight, Master More.

103
00:13:50,083 --> 00:13:54,994
Let the dynasty die with Henry Vlll
and we'll have dynastic wars again.

104
00:13:55,338 --> 00:13:58,542
Blood-witted barons ramping the country
from end to end.

105
00:13:59,384 --> 00:14:02,967
Is that what you want? Very well.

106
00:14:04,055 --> 00:14:06,013
England needs an heir.

107
00:14:07,434 --> 00:14:11,763
Certain measures, perhaps regrettable...

108
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,395
...perhaps not, there's much in the Church
which needs reformation, Thomas.

109
00:14:18,612 --> 00:14:22,692
All right, regrettable.
But necessary to get us an heir.

110
00:14:24,951 --> 00:14:28,949
Now, explain how you, as a councillor
of England, can obstruct these measures...

111
00:14:29,039 --> 00:14:31,909
...for the sake
of your own private conscience.

112
00:14:34,044 --> 00:14:37,828
I think that when statesmen forsake
their own private conscience...

113
00:14:37,964 --> 00:14:40,502
...for the sake of their public duties...

114
00:14:40,634 --> 00:14:44,299
...they lead their country
by a short route to chaos.

115
00:14:48,308 --> 00:14:50,977
And we shall have my prayers
to fall back on.

116
00:14:51,686 --> 00:14:55,898
You'd like that, wouldn't you?
To govern the country with prayers?

117
00:14:56,441 --> 00:14:57,686
Yes, I should.

118
00:14:58,527 --> 00:15:00,685
I'd like to be there when you try.

119
00:15:03,031 --> 00:15:04,940
Who will wear this after me?

120
00:15:06,535 --> 00:15:10,947
Who's our next chancellor?
You? Fisher? Suffolk?

121
00:15:11,414 --> 00:15:13,573
-Fisher for me.
-Aye, but for the King?

122
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,204
What about my secretary,
Master Cromwell?

123
00:15:17,879 --> 00:15:21,924
Cromwell. He's a very able man.

124
00:15:23,385 --> 00:15:24,215
But?

125
00:15:24,970 --> 00:15:27,258
Me rather than Cromwell.

126
00:15:28,056 --> 00:15:30,049
Then, come down to earth.

127
00:15:32,894 --> 00:15:34,139
Until you do...

128
00:15:36,606 --> 00:15:38,515
...you and I are enemies.

129
00:15:40,402 --> 00:15:41,944
As Your Grace wishes.

130
00:15:44,865 --> 00:15:46,275
As God wills.

131
00:15:46,950 --> 00:15:48,492
Perhaps, Your Grace.

132
00:15:50,370 --> 00:15:53,537
More! You should have been a cleric!

133
00:15:54,374 --> 00:15:56,165
Like yourself, Your Grace?

134
00:16:10,098 --> 00:16:11,723
Goodnight, Sir Thomas.

135
00:16:18,857 --> 00:16:19,972
Sir Thomas.

136
00:16:20,859 --> 00:16:22,021
Sir Thomas.

137
00:16:23,153 --> 00:16:24,315
Sir Thomas.

138
00:16:26,656 --> 00:16:29,906
-What's this?
-From some grateful poor folk, in Leicester.

139
00:16:30,660 --> 00:16:33,910
-Leicester?
-You do more good than you know, sir.

140
00:16:36,124 --> 00:16:40,288
My daughter has a case, sir,
in the Court of Poor Man's Causes.

141
00:16:42,047 --> 00:16:43,505
Baked apples, sir.

142
00:16:44,090 --> 00:16:45,798
To sweeten my judgement.

143
00:16:46,551 --> 00:16:49,920
I'll give your daughter the same judgement
I would give my own.

144
00:16:50,013 --> 00:16:52,421
A fair one, quickly.

145
00:16:52,849 --> 00:16:54,047
Bless you, sir.

146
00:16:54,142 --> 00:16:57,807
I understand. Yes. I'll read it.
Yes. Thank you.

147
00:17:03,527 --> 00:17:05,270
Good evening, Sir Thomas.

148
00:17:06,238 --> 00:17:08,479
-I'll read it.
-It's an awkward case.

149
00:17:08,573 --> 00:17:10,862
-I could illuminate it for you--
-I'll read it.

150
00:17:10,951 --> 00:17:12,575
Just a moment or two....

151
00:17:14,663 --> 00:17:15,694
Boat!

152
00:17:16,331 --> 00:17:16,865
Sir?

153
00:17:39,604 --> 00:17:40,719
Chelsea, sir?

154
00:17:40,814 --> 00:17:41,845
Chelsea.

155
00:17:42,524 --> 00:17:44,931
I expect you'll make it worth my while, sir.

156
00:17:45,026 --> 00:17:48,442
-You've got a licence?
-Bless you, yes sir, I've got a licence.

157
00:17:48,530 --> 00:17:51,103
-Well then, the fares are fixed.
-They are, sir.

158
00:17:51,241 --> 00:17:53,862
Hampton to Chelsea downstream,
a penny halfpenny.

159
00:17:53,952 --> 00:17:56,110
Chelsea to Hampton upstream,
a penny halfpenny.

160
00:17:56,204 --> 00:17:58,660
Whoever makes the regulations
doesn't row a boat.

161
00:17:59,166 --> 00:18:02,700
No. Threepence if you get me home
for breakfast.

162
00:18:02,794 --> 00:18:04,075
Thank you, sir.

163
00:18:32,199 --> 00:18:33,574
A nice cup, sir.

164
00:18:35,410 --> 00:18:36,324
Yes.

165
00:18:54,012 --> 00:18:55,720
That's worth money, sir.

166
00:19:33,468 --> 00:19:34,749
Mind a way, sir.

167
00:19:41,393 --> 00:19:42,673
Thank you, sir.

168
00:19:49,901 --> 00:19:52,108
-Have you been here all night?
-Yes.

169
00:19:53,697 --> 00:19:56,022
You said there was a post?

170
00:19:56,658 --> 00:20:02,079
Yes. I'll offer you a post, with a house,
a servant and �50 a year.

171
00:20:02,414 --> 00:20:03,528
What post?

172
00:20:04,207 --> 00:20:05,951
At the new school.

173
00:20:08,837 --> 00:20:09,952
A teacher!

174
00:20:10,964 --> 00:20:14,048
Richard, no one's going to give you
a place at court.

175
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,251
Master Cromwell says
he'll do something for me.

176
00:20:19,973 --> 00:20:21,004
Cromwell?

177
00:20:22,392 --> 00:20:25,013
Well, if you know Cromwell
you don't need my help.

178
00:20:26,479 --> 00:20:27,642
Sir Thomas?

179
00:20:30,275 --> 00:20:34,189
If only you knew how much,
much rather, I had your help than his.

180
00:20:36,281 --> 00:20:38,024
Not to a place at court.

181
00:20:38,950 --> 00:20:40,030
Why not?

182
00:20:42,496 --> 00:20:43,409
Look.

183
00:20:44,956 --> 00:20:47,530
-What is it?
-It's a bribe!

184
00:20:50,295 --> 00:20:53,415
"l am the gift of Averil Machin."

185
00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:58,085
And Averil Machin has a lawsuit
in the Court of Requests.

186
00:20:58,970 --> 00:21:03,716
Italian silver. Take it. No joke.

187
00:21:06,353 --> 00:21:07,467
Thank you.

188
00:21:10,607 --> 00:21:12,101
What will you do with it?

189
00:21:12,901 --> 00:21:13,565
Sell it.

190
00:21:13,652 --> 00:21:15,977
-And buy what?
-A decent gown!

191
00:21:17,197 --> 00:21:19,403
But Richard, that's a little bribe.

192
00:21:20,158 --> 00:21:25,615
At court they offer you all sorts of things,
home, manor houses, coats of arms.

193
00:21:26,331 --> 00:21:28,869
A man should go
where he won't be tempted.

194
00:21:29,918 --> 00:21:34,746
Why not be a teacher? You'd be
a fine teacher. Perhaps a great one.

195
00:21:35,882 --> 00:21:40,425
-lf I was, who would know it?
-You! Your pupils. Your friends.

196
00:21:40,804 --> 00:21:43,591
God. Not a bad public, that.

197
00:21:47,602 --> 00:21:49,476
And a quiet life.

198
00:21:49,813 --> 00:21:52,730
You say that.
You come from talking with the Cardinal.

199
00:21:52,816 --> 00:21:55,223
Yes, talking with the Cardinal.

200
00:21:56,486 --> 00:21:59,986
It's eating your heart out, isn't it?
The high affairs of state.

201
00:22:00,073 --> 00:22:01,271
The divorce?

202
00:22:02,576 --> 00:22:03,738
Boatman!

203
00:22:04,244 --> 00:22:05,109
Sir?

204
00:22:05,245 --> 00:22:07,866
-Take this gentleman to the New lnn!
-Right, sir.

205
00:22:07,956 --> 00:22:09,331
Sir Thomas?

206
00:22:10,375 --> 00:22:11,490
Thank you.

207
00:22:12,919 --> 00:22:14,544
Be a teacher.

208
00:22:25,056 --> 00:22:25,970
-Matthew.
-Sir.

209
00:22:26,057 --> 00:22:27,967
-Lady Alice in bed?
-Yes, sir.

210
00:22:28,476 --> 00:22:30,019
-Lady Margaret?
-No, sir.

211
00:22:30,478 --> 00:22:32,388
The Master Roper's here, sir.

212
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,438
At this hour? Who let him in?

213
00:22:35,233 --> 00:22:37,392
He's a hard man to keep out, sir.

214
00:23:00,884 --> 00:23:02,960
Will wants to marry me, Father.

215
00:23:03,845 --> 00:23:05,553
Well, he can't marry you.

216
00:23:07,057 --> 00:23:09,049
Sir Thomas, I'm called to the Bar.

217
00:23:09,142 --> 00:23:11,764
Oh, congratulations, Roper.

218
00:23:12,103 --> 00:23:14,476
My family may not be at the palace,
but in the city--

219
00:23:14,773 --> 00:23:17,015
There's nothing wrong
with your family, Will.

220
00:23:18,819 --> 00:23:20,895
There's not much wrong with you.

221
00:23:22,113 --> 00:23:24,189
Except you seem to need a clock.

222
00:23:24,866 --> 00:23:26,574
I can buy a clock, sir.

223
00:23:26,827 --> 00:23:28,369
Roper, the answer is no...

224
00:23:28,453 --> 00:23:31,027
...and will be no as long as you're a heretic.

225
00:23:31,122 --> 00:23:33,364
Now, that's a word I don't like,
Sir Thomas!

226
00:23:33,458 --> 00:23:35,415
It's not a likeable word or thing.

227
00:23:35,502 --> 00:23:39,120
The Church is heretical!
Dr. Luther's proved that to my satisfaction!

228
00:23:39,214 --> 00:23:40,957
Luther is an excommunicate!

229
00:23:41,049 --> 00:23:43,967
From a heretic Church!
Church? It's a shop!

230
00:23:44,261 --> 00:23:47,630
-Salvation by the shilling! And divorces!
-Will, no!

231
00:23:47,806 --> 00:23:50,926
-What I know, I'll say!
-You've no sense of the place!

232
00:23:52,102 --> 00:23:53,893
He's no sense of the time.

233
00:23:54,479 --> 00:23:56,104
Now listen well.

234
00:23:56,481 --> 00:23:59,019
Two years ago you were
a passionate churchman.

235
00:23:59,109 --> 00:24:01,066
Now you're a passionate Lutheran.

236
00:24:01,153 --> 00:24:04,189
We must just pray
that when your head's finished turning...

237
00:24:04,281 --> 00:24:06,487
...your face is to the front again.

238
00:24:08,535 --> 00:24:11,156
-ls your horse here?
-No, sir, I walked.

239
00:24:12,164 --> 00:24:14,915
Well, take a horse from the stables
and get back home.

240
00:24:16,835 --> 00:24:17,866
Go along.

241
00:24:19,504 --> 00:24:20,915
May I come again?

242
00:24:23,258 --> 00:24:25,215
Yes. Soon.

243
00:24:30,765 --> 00:24:32,390
Is that final, Father?

244
00:24:32,642 --> 00:24:35,477
As long as he's a heretic, Meg,
that's absolute.

245
00:24:39,399 --> 00:24:41,142
What did Wolsey want?

246
00:24:44,404 --> 00:24:45,982
Nice boy, young Will.

247
00:24:48,325 --> 00:24:50,732
Terribly strong principles, though.

248
00:24:51,828 --> 00:24:53,322
Clumsy, too.

249
00:24:54,122 --> 00:24:56,957
-You're very pensive.
-You're very gay.

250
00:24:57,542 --> 00:24:59,036
Was it the divorce?

251
00:25:00,712 --> 00:25:01,743
To bed.

252
00:25:02,672 --> 00:25:07,050
They're a cantankerous lot, the Ropers.
Always swimming against the stream.

253
00:25:07,260 --> 00:25:09,419
Old Roper was just the same--

254
00:25:10,972 --> 00:25:13,048
You don't want to talk about it.

255
00:25:13,975 --> 00:25:14,889
No.

256
00:25:19,940 --> 00:25:23,772
-I'm sorry you were awakened, chick.
-I wasn't sleeping very deeply.

257
00:25:24,236 --> 00:25:25,813
What did Wolsey want?

258
00:25:27,989 --> 00:25:30,611
-Will Roper's been.
-Will Roper?

259
00:25:30,867 --> 00:25:33,738
Yes, he's been here all night.
He wants to marry Meg.

260
00:25:33,829 --> 00:25:36,366
-Why you don't beat that girl l--
-No.

261
00:25:36,915 --> 00:25:40,533
She's full of education
and it's a delicate commodity.

262
00:25:41,253 --> 00:25:42,533
Goodnight, Meg.

263
00:25:42,838 --> 00:25:43,952
Goodnight.

264
00:25:48,134 --> 00:25:50,970
Marry Meg. A lawyer's son.

265
00:25:51,054 --> 00:25:52,881
Well, she's a lawyer's daughter.

266
00:25:56,309 --> 00:26:00,639
Norfolk spoke of you
for Chancellor of England before he left.

267
00:26:01,523 --> 00:26:03,432
Well, he's a dangerous friend then.

268
00:26:04,526 --> 00:26:06,684
Wolsey's chancellor, God help him.

269
00:26:06,987 --> 00:26:09,145
But Norfolk said, if Wolsey fell, you--

270
00:26:09,239 --> 00:26:13,189
If Wolsey fell, the splash would swamp
a few small boats like ours.

271
00:26:13,702 --> 00:26:14,733
No.

272
00:26:15,328 --> 00:26:18,329
There'll be no new chancellors
while Wolsey lives.

273
00:27:08,507 --> 00:27:11,211
The Duke of Norfolk,
Earl Marshal of England.

274
00:27:25,899 --> 00:27:28,224
Have you any message for His Majesty?

275
00:27:30,695 --> 00:27:32,320
If I had served God...

276
00:27:32,739 --> 00:27:35,491
...one half so well as I've served my King...

277
00:27:36,701 --> 00:27:40,948
...God would not have left me here,
to die in this place.

278
00:27:42,749 --> 00:27:46,699
Thank God you're dying here.
The King would have you die in the Tower.

279
00:28:10,986 --> 00:28:14,022
"l am straightly charged
by the King himself...

280
00:28:14,823 --> 00:28:18,441
"...here openly to declare
how much all England...

281
00:28:18,577 --> 00:28:20,735
"...is beholden to this man.

282
00:28:21,163 --> 00:28:25,990
"And how worthy he is
to have the highest room in the realm.

283
00:28:26,501 --> 00:28:30,499
"And how dearly
the King's grace doth love and trust him...

284
00:28:31,464 --> 00:28:33,790
"...not only for much good council...

285
00:28:34,217 --> 00:28:37,835
"...deliberate council,
but for better council yet...

286
00:28:38,597 --> 00:28:41,301
"...that which is privy to the King's person.

287
00:28:42,475 --> 00:28:44,552
"This same Sir Thomas More...

288
00:28:44,853 --> 00:28:47,605
"...here made before you all to be...

289
00:28:48,190 --> 00:28:50,977
"...Lord Chancellor of the Realm."

290
00:30:30,584 --> 00:30:32,126
Calm yourself, Matthew.

291
00:30:32,210 --> 00:30:33,870
Fetch Lady Alice.

292
00:30:46,266 --> 00:30:47,974
That's very well.

293
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,307
My lady! The King!

294
00:31:59,714 --> 00:32:01,873
Now remember, the visit's a surprise.

295
00:32:01,967 --> 00:32:03,840
But he'll know we're expecting him--

296
00:32:03,927 --> 00:32:06,679
It's a very great honour.
One friend calling on another.

297
00:32:06,763 --> 00:32:08,423
What's he really coming for?

298
00:32:08,515 --> 00:32:10,887
To talk about the divorce.
He wants an answer.

299
00:32:10,976 --> 00:32:13,431
-But he's had his answer.
-He wants another.

300
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:14,516
Thomas!

301
00:32:21,903 --> 00:32:25,818
Your Majesty does my house more honour
than I fear my household will bear.

302
00:32:25,907 --> 00:32:28,114
No ceremony Thomas, no ceremony!

303
00:32:28,243 --> 00:32:30,816
A passing fancy.
I happened to be on the river.

304
00:32:30,912 --> 00:32:32,241
Look. Mud.

305
00:32:36,251 --> 00:32:39,252
By heaven, what an evening.

306
00:32:40,213 --> 00:32:43,131
Lady Alice,
I fear we came upon you unexpectedly.

307
00:32:43,216 --> 00:32:45,790
Yes, Your Grace. Well, no, Your Grace.

308
00:32:46,094 --> 00:32:48,336
Well, that is, we are ready to entertain--

309
00:32:48,430 --> 00:32:50,837
This is my daughter Margaret, sire.

310
00:32:52,601 --> 00:32:55,436
She's not yet had the honour
to meet Your Grace.

311
00:32:55,645 --> 00:32:58,765
Why Margaret,
they told me you were a scholar.

312
00:32:59,566 --> 00:33:01,274
Answer, Margaret.

313
00:33:01,485 --> 00:33:04,236
Among women, I pass for one, Your Grace.

314
00:33:35,268 --> 00:33:37,012
Can you dance, too?

315
00:33:37,729 --> 00:33:39,307
Not well, Your Grace.

316
00:33:41,441 --> 00:33:43,600
Well, I dance superlatively!

317
00:33:44,528 --> 00:33:46,935
That's a dancer's leg, Margaret!

318
00:34:00,043 --> 00:34:02,285
Lady Alice,
the river's given me an appetite.

319
00:34:02,379 --> 00:34:05,545
If Your Grace would share
a very simple supper.

320
00:34:05,632 --> 00:34:07,708
It would please me. Lead them in.

321
00:34:07,801 --> 00:34:09,260
Thomas and I will follow.

322
00:34:09,344 --> 00:34:10,719
Matthew.

323
00:34:11,137 --> 00:34:13,426
My lords and gentlemen!

324
00:34:19,062 --> 00:34:20,343
Margaret?

325
00:34:20,647 --> 00:34:22,022
Your Grace?

326
00:34:22,107 --> 00:34:23,731
Do you like music?

327
00:34:23,859 --> 00:34:25,436
Yes, Your Grace.

328
00:34:25,944 --> 00:34:27,771
They'll play to you.

329
00:34:51,428 --> 00:34:53,919
Now, listen to this.

330
00:34:56,683 --> 00:34:58,011
Sit down.

331
00:34:59,811 --> 00:35:02,100
Be seated. No courtship, Thomas.

332
00:35:06,485 --> 00:35:08,773
You're my friend, are you not?

333
00:35:09,321 --> 00:35:10,352
Your Majesty.

334
00:35:10,447 --> 00:35:12,985
Thank God I have a friend
for my chancellor.

335
00:35:13,074 --> 00:35:16,111
Readier to befriend, I trust,
than he was to be chancellor.

336
00:35:16,203 --> 00:35:18,409
My own knowledge of my poor abilities--

337
00:35:18,497 --> 00:35:20,785
I will judge of your abilities.

338
00:35:21,708 --> 00:35:22,739
Thomas?

339
00:35:25,879 --> 00:35:28,796
You know that Wolsey named you
for chancellor?

340
00:35:29,883 --> 00:35:34,094
Before he died, Wolsey named you,
and Wolsey was no fool.

341
00:35:34,679 --> 00:35:38,298
He was a statesman
of incomparable ability, Your Grace.

342
00:35:40,602 --> 00:35:41,847
Was he?

343
00:35:43,271 --> 00:35:44,647
Was he so?

344
00:35:45,732 --> 00:35:47,772
Then, why did he fail me?

345
00:35:50,403 --> 00:35:52,230
It was villainy then.

346
00:35:52,823 --> 00:35:55,230
Yes, villainy. Secret opposition, secret.

347
00:35:55,325 --> 00:35:58,741
But deliberate, wilful,
meditated opposition.

348
00:35:58,829 --> 00:36:01,366
Wanted to be pope to master me, Wolsey.

349
00:36:01,456 --> 00:36:02,950
What is it? Thought!

350
00:36:03,041 --> 00:36:07,502
Because I'm simple and plain and deal
with every man straightforwardly.

351
00:36:07,587 --> 00:36:11,502
Because of that I say,
do they take me for a simpleton?

352
00:36:16,471 --> 00:36:21,263
Wolsey was a proud man, Thomas.

353
00:36:22,352 --> 00:36:23,930
Pride right through.

354
00:36:24,187 --> 00:36:25,598
And he failed me.

355
00:36:26,773 --> 00:36:30,107
Failed me in the one thing that matters,
then as now.

356
00:36:33,905 --> 00:36:35,020
But look.

357
00:36:35,991 --> 00:36:37,153
Be seated.

358
00:36:42,539 --> 00:36:43,914
What an evening.

359
00:36:45,125 --> 00:36:47,248
A man could fight a lion.

360
00:36:47,669 --> 00:36:49,792
Some men could, Your Grace.

361
00:36:51,131 --> 00:36:52,293
Thomas...

362
00:36:53,425 --> 00:36:56,094
...touching this matter of my divorce.

363
00:36:56,511 --> 00:36:58,753
Have you thought of it
since we last spoke?

364
00:36:58,847 --> 00:36:59,926
Of little else.

365
00:37:00,015 --> 00:37:01,888
Then you see your way clear to me?

366
00:37:01,975 --> 00:37:04,846
That you should put away
Queen Catherine, sire?

367
00:37:05,103 --> 00:37:07,179
Alas, as I think of it, I see so clearly...

368
00:37:07,272 --> 00:37:10,392
...that I cannot come with Your Grace,
that my endeavour is...

369
00:37:10,484 --> 00:37:11,859
...not to think of it at all.

370
00:37:11,943 --> 00:37:14,351
Then you haven't thought enough!

371
00:37:21,536 --> 00:37:22,734
Lilac.

372
00:37:24,289 --> 00:37:25,997
We have them at Hampton.

373
00:37:26,917 --> 00:37:28,743
Not so fine as this, though.

374
00:37:31,087 --> 00:37:33,625
I'm in an excellent frame of mind.

375
00:37:38,303 --> 00:37:42,087
Thomas, you must consider,
I stand in peril of my soul.

376
00:37:42,182 --> 00:37:43,676
It was no marriage.

377
00:37:44,226 --> 00:37:47,392
I have lived in incest
with my brother's widow.

378
00:37:48,355 --> 00:37:53,396
Leviticus: "Thou shalt not uncover
the nakedness of thy brother's wife."

379
00:37:53,485 --> 00:37:55,810
Leviticus. Chapter 18, verse 16.

380
00:37:55,904 --> 00:37:57,778
Yes, Your Grace. But Deuteronomy--

381
00:37:57,864 --> 00:37:59,857
Deuteronomy is ambiguous!

382
00:37:59,950 --> 00:38:02,619
Your Grace, I'm not fitted
to meddle in these matters.

383
00:38:02,702 --> 00:38:04,825
To me, it seems a matter for the Holy See--

384
00:38:04,913 --> 00:38:08,661
Thomas, does a man need a pope
to tell him where he's sinned?

385
00:38:10,335 --> 00:38:11,829
It was a sin.

386
00:38:12,671 --> 00:38:14,414
God's punished me.

387
00:38:15,423 --> 00:38:16,882
I've no son.

388
00:38:18,343 --> 00:38:20,170
Son after son she's borne me.

389
00:38:20,262 --> 00:38:23,263
All dead at birth, or dead within the month.

390
00:38:23,431 --> 00:38:26,136
I never saw the hand of God
so clear in anything.

391
00:38:26,226 --> 00:38:28,384
It's my bounden duty
to put away the Queen.

392
00:38:28,478 --> 00:38:32,061
And all the popes, back to Peter,
shall not come between me and my duty!

393
00:38:34,609 --> 00:38:37,100
How is it that you cannot see?
Everyone else does.

394
00:38:37,195 --> 00:38:40,315
Then, why does Your Grace
need my poor support?

395
00:38:40,824 --> 00:38:42,235
Because you're honest.

396
00:38:42,742 --> 00:38:45,578
And what is more to the purpose,
you're known to be honest.

397
00:38:45,662 --> 00:38:48,200
Those like Norfolk follow me
because I wear the crown.

398
00:38:48,290 --> 00:38:51,741
Those like Cromwell follow
because they're jackals with sharp teeth...

399
00:38:51,835 --> 00:38:54,041
...and I'm their tiger. A mass follows me...

400
00:38:54,129 --> 00:38:56,086
...because it follows anything that moves.

401
00:38:58,633 --> 00:38:59,878
And then there's you.

402
00:39:01,845 --> 00:39:05,510
I am sick to think
how much I must displease Your Grace.

403
00:39:06,141 --> 00:39:09,841
No, Thomas, I respect your sincerity.

404
00:39:13,190 --> 00:39:14,814
But respect...

405
00:39:15,442 --> 00:39:18,229
...man, that's water in the desert.

406
00:39:23,783 --> 00:39:25,194
How'd you like our music?

407
00:39:25,285 --> 00:39:27,408
That air they played, it had a certain....

408
00:39:27,496 --> 00:39:29,987
Well, tell me what you thought of it.

409
00:39:30,081 --> 00:39:32,323
Could it have been Your Grace's own?

410
00:39:32,709 --> 00:39:33,872
Discovered!

411
00:39:34,711 --> 00:39:37,665
Now I'll never know your true opinion,
and that's irksome.

412
00:39:37,756 --> 00:39:41,207
Well, we artists, we love praise,
yet we love truth better.

413
00:39:41,426 --> 00:39:43,798
-Then I will tell my true opinion.
-Well?

414
00:39:43,887 --> 00:39:47,090
To me it seemed delightful.

415
00:39:49,017 --> 00:39:53,229
Thomas, I chose the right man
for chancellor.

416
00:39:53,313 --> 00:39:57,560
I should in fairness add that my taste
in music is reputedly deplorable.

417
00:39:58,401 --> 00:40:00,643
Your taste in music is excellent!

418
00:40:00,737 --> 00:40:02,943
It exactly coincides with my own.

419
00:40:07,369 --> 00:40:08,567
Music.

420
00:40:10,163 --> 00:40:11,444
Music.

421
00:40:12,457 --> 00:40:16,669
Send them back without me, Thomas.
I'll live here in Chelsea and make music.

422
00:40:16,753 --> 00:40:18,959
My house is at Your Grace's disposal.

423
00:40:19,047 --> 00:40:21,538
Touching this other business, mark you...

424
00:40:23,927 --> 00:40:25,836
...I'll have no opposition.

425
00:40:27,597 --> 00:40:29,008
Your Grace.

426
00:40:29,099 --> 00:40:33,346
No opposition, I say. No opposition.

427
00:40:34,312 --> 00:40:35,688
Be seated.

428
00:40:38,733 --> 00:40:43,194
I'll leave you out of it
but you are my chancellor.

429
00:40:44,447 --> 00:40:48,445
I don't take it kindly
and I'll have no opposition!

430
00:40:50,954 --> 00:40:52,828
I see how it will be.

431
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,199
The bishops will oppose me!

432
00:40:56,626 --> 00:41:01,253
The full-fed princes of the Church!
Hypocrites! All hypocrites!

433
00:41:01,423 --> 00:41:03,748
Mind they do not take you in, Thomas!

434
00:41:03,884 --> 00:41:05,461
Your Grace is unjust.

435
00:41:05,552 --> 00:41:08,672
If I cannot serve Your Grace
in this great matter of the Queen.

436
00:41:08,763 --> 00:41:11,136
I have no queen!

437
00:41:11,808 --> 00:41:13,848
Catherine's not my wife!

438
00:41:14,603 --> 00:41:16,726
No priest can make her so.

439
00:41:17,439 --> 00:41:21,139
They that say she is my wife
are not only liars, but traitors!

440
00:41:23,153 --> 00:41:24,695
Yes, traitors!

441
00:41:25,530 --> 00:41:27,322
That I will not brook now!

442
00:41:27,949 --> 00:41:29,112
Treachery!

443
00:41:30,243 --> 00:41:31,441
I will not brook.

444
00:41:31,536 --> 00:41:32,865
It maddens me!

445
00:41:33,288 --> 00:41:38,875
It is a deadly canker in the body politic,
and I will have it out!

446
00:41:48,720 --> 00:41:49,835
See?

447
00:41:52,015 --> 00:41:54,304
You see how you've maddened me?

448
00:41:54,893 --> 00:41:57,182
I hardly know myself.

449
00:42:05,028 --> 00:42:08,112
If you could come with me,
there's no man I'd sooner raise...

450
00:42:08,198 --> 00:42:10,072
...yes, with my own hand.

451
00:42:10,408 --> 00:42:12,484
Your Grace overwhelms me.

452
00:42:22,420 --> 00:42:23,879
What's that?

453
00:42:24,381 --> 00:42:26,041
Eight o'clock, Your Grace.

454
00:42:28,051 --> 00:42:29,925
Lift yourself up, man.

455
00:42:33,890 --> 00:42:36,595
Have I not promised I'll leave you out of it?

456
00:42:38,228 --> 00:42:39,508
Shall we eat?

457
00:42:39,646 --> 00:42:41,271
If Your Grace pleases.

458
00:42:45,610 --> 00:42:47,152
Eight o'clock, you said.

459
00:42:48,738 --> 00:42:50,482
The tide will be turning.

460
00:42:50,866 --> 00:42:54,032
-I was forgetting the tide. I must go.
-I'm sorry, Your Grace.

461
00:42:54,536 --> 00:42:57,490
If I don't catch the tide
I'll not get back to Richmond.

462
00:42:57,581 --> 00:42:59,123
No, don't come.

463
00:43:02,711 --> 00:43:06,376
Lady Alice, I must go and catch the tide.
Affairs call me to court.

464
00:43:06,464 --> 00:43:09,134
So we give you our thanks
and we say goodnight!

465
00:43:31,490 --> 00:43:32,770
What's this?

466
00:43:33,366 --> 00:43:35,240
-You crossed him!
-Somewhat.

467
00:43:35,327 --> 00:43:37,450
-Why?
-I couldn't find the other way.

468
00:43:37,537 --> 00:43:39,577
You're too nice altogether, Thomas.

469
00:43:39,664 --> 00:43:43,164
-Woman, mind your house!
-I am minding my house!

470
00:43:46,505 --> 00:43:48,414
God save Your Majesty!

471
00:43:49,758 --> 00:43:51,585
God save Your Grace!

472
00:43:58,767 --> 00:44:00,510
God save the King!

473
00:44:03,313 --> 00:44:04,593
Lift!

474
00:44:12,614 --> 00:44:13,812
Drop blades!

475
00:44:16,368 --> 00:44:18,610
Sire! Sire! Sire!

476
00:44:50,485 --> 00:44:52,727
Are you coming my way, Rich?

477
00:44:55,031 --> 00:44:56,111
No.

478
00:44:58,118 --> 00:45:00,360
I think you should, you know.

479
00:45:00,829 --> 00:45:02,952
I can't tell you anything.

480
00:45:09,629 --> 00:45:10,792
Well?

481
00:45:23,476 --> 00:45:24,721
Thomas?

482
00:45:27,189 --> 00:45:28,980
Stay friends with him.

483
00:45:30,484 --> 00:45:34,232
Whatever may be done by smiling,
you may rely on me to do.

484
00:45:41,495 --> 00:45:43,653
Set your mind at rest.

485
00:45:43,955 --> 00:45:47,205
This is not the stuff
of which martyrs are made.

486
00:45:56,885 --> 00:45:59,886
Good evening, sir, Lady Alice.

487
00:46:01,306 --> 00:46:03,263
Will wants to talk to you, Father.

488
00:46:04,768 --> 00:46:06,677
I told him it wouldn't be convenient.

489
00:46:06,770 --> 00:46:07,766
You were quite right.

490
00:46:08,563 --> 00:46:11,481
You're very free
with my daughter's hand, Roper.

491
00:46:12,025 --> 00:46:12,890
Yes.

492
00:46:13,527 --> 00:46:15,436
It's of that I wish to speak.

493
00:46:15,821 --> 00:46:18,738
Sir, you've had a disagreement
with His Majesty.

494
00:46:19,616 --> 00:46:21,941
-Have l?
-So Meg tells me.

495
00:46:22,035 --> 00:46:23,992
I offer my congratulations.

496
00:46:24,371 --> 00:46:27,288
If it's true,
is it a matter for congratulation?

497
00:46:27,374 --> 00:46:28,405
Yes!

498
00:46:31,795 --> 00:46:36,457
Sir, when last I asked you
for your daughter's hand...

499
00:46:36,716 --> 00:46:39,920
...you objected to my unorthodox opinions.

500
00:46:40,470 --> 00:46:41,668
-I did.
-Yes.

501
00:46:41,763 --> 00:46:44,432
Well, since then my views
have somewhat modified.

502
00:46:48,937 --> 00:46:50,728
Well, that's good hearing, Will.

503
00:46:51,690 --> 00:46:55,390
Mind you, I modify nothing concerning
the various corruptions in the Church.

504
00:46:55,485 --> 00:46:58,320
-Quite right.
-But an attack upon the Church herself...

505
00:46:58,405 --> 00:47:00,943
...no. I see behind that an attack on God.

506
00:47:01,032 --> 00:47:02,527
-Roper!
-The Devil's work...

507
00:47:02,617 --> 00:47:04,409
...to be done by the Devil's ministers!

508
00:47:04,494 --> 00:47:06,403
For heaven's sake, remember my office.

509
00:47:06,496 --> 00:47:07,955
If you stand on your office--

510
00:47:08,039 --> 00:47:12,251
No, I don't stand on it,
but there are certain things I may not hear.

511
00:47:12,961 --> 00:47:13,625
Sir Thomas.

512
00:47:16,173 --> 00:47:17,453
Richard?

513
00:47:18,216 --> 00:47:19,379
I fell.

514
00:47:21,219 --> 00:47:22,464
Lady Alice.

515
00:47:22,804 --> 00:47:24,382
-Lady Margaret.
-Good evening.

516
00:47:24,472 --> 00:47:26,880
Do you know William Roper, the younger?

517
00:47:27,058 --> 00:47:28,932
By reputation, of course.

518
00:47:29,186 --> 00:47:31,474
-Good evening, Master....
-Rich.

519
00:47:38,987 --> 00:47:40,481
You've heard of me?

520
00:47:40,739 --> 00:47:41,853
Yes.

521
00:47:42,199 --> 00:47:45,614
In what connection?
I don't know what you can have heard.

522
00:47:51,500 --> 00:47:53,658
I sense that I'm not welcome here.

523
00:47:53,919 --> 00:47:57,003
Why Richard? Have you done something
to make you not welcome?

524
00:47:57,088 --> 00:47:58,464
Cromwell is asking questions.

525
00:47:58,548 --> 00:48:01,964
About you. He's always asking
questions about you and your opinions.

526
00:48:02,469 --> 00:48:03,749
Of whom?

527
00:48:04,804 --> 00:48:07,046
Of him, for one. That's one of his sources.

528
00:48:08,725 --> 00:48:11,097
Of course. That's one of my servants.

529
00:48:12,771 --> 00:48:14,395
All right, Matthew.

530
00:48:19,402 --> 00:48:21,810
Well, you look at me
as though I were an enemy.

531
00:48:24,449 --> 00:48:26,406
Why Richard, you're shaking.

532
00:48:28,161 --> 00:48:29,442
Help me.

533
00:48:30,372 --> 00:48:31,368
How?

534
00:48:31,498 --> 00:48:32,778
Employ me.

535
00:48:33,500 --> 00:48:34,579
No.

536
00:48:35,126 --> 00:48:36,918
-Employ me!
-No.

537
00:48:52,519 --> 00:48:54,346
I would be faithful.

538
00:48:58,108 --> 00:49:02,271
You couldn't answer for yourself
even so far as tonight.

539
00:49:14,416 --> 00:49:15,614
Arrest him!

540
00:49:15,750 --> 00:49:17,245
-For what?
-He's dangerous!

541
00:49:17,335 --> 00:49:19,127
-Libel. He's a spy!
-That man's bad!

542
00:49:19,212 --> 00:49:21,419
-There's no law against that.
-God's law!

543
00:49:21,506 --> 00:49:24,080
-Then God can arrest him.
-While you talk, he's gone!

544
00:49:24,176 --> 00:49:27,212
Go he should, if he were the Devil,
until he broke the law.

545
00:49:27,304 --> 00:49:30,969
-Now you give the Devil benefit of law!
-Yes, what would you do?

546
00:49:31,057 --> 00:49:33,595
Cut a road through the law
to get after the Devil?

547
00:49:33,685 --> 00:49:36,639
Yes. I'd cut down every law in England
to do that.

548
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,565
And when the last law was down,
and the Devil turned on you...

549
00:49:40,650 --> 00:49:43,687
...where would you hide, Roper,
the laws all being flat?

550
00:49:43,778 --> 00:49:46,483
This country is planted with laws
from coast to coast...

551
00:49:46,573 --> 00:49:49,194
...Man's laws, not God's,
and if you cut them down...

552
00:49:49,284 --> 00:49:51,027
...and you're just the man to do it...

553
00:49:51,119 --> 00:49:55,615
...do you really think you could stand
upright in the wind that would blow then?

554
00:49:56,583 --> 00:49:57,413
Yes.

555
00:49:57,501 --> 00:50:01,794
I give the Devil benefit of law
for my own safety's sake.

556
00:50:39,709 --> 00:50:41,453
-Master Rich?
-Yes.

557
00:50:41,586 --> 00:50:43,128
In there, sir.

558
00:50:49,177 --> 00:50:51,217
Rich? Come in.

559
00:50:55,267 --> 00:50:57,390
Taken you long enough to get here.

560
00:50:57,477 --> 00:50:59,185
Have I kept you waiting?

561
00:51:00,397 --> 00:51:01,642
Months.

562
00:51:04,025 --> 00:51:06,232
-Here.
-Thank you.

563
00:51:07,654 --> 00:51:09,196
Do you know the news?

564
00:51:09,531 --> 00:51:12,651
-What news?
-Sir Thomas Paget is retiring.

565
00:51:14,202 --> 00:51:16,278
And I succeed him.

566
00:51:17,497 --> 00:51:19,241
Secretary to the Council?

567
00:51:19,332 --> 00:51:20,447
You?

568
00:51:21,001 --> 00:51:22,709
'Tis surprising, isn't it?

569
00:51:24,087 --> 00:51:26,874
I mean, one sees that's logical.

570
00:51:28,842 --> 00:51:31,712
Sit down, Rich.
No ceremony, no courtship...

571
00:51:31,845 --> 00:51:33,921
...as His Majesty would say.

572
00:51:37,392 --> 00:51:39,183
You see how I trust you.

573
00:51:40,145 --> 00:51:42,897
I'd never repeat or report a thing like that.

574
00:51:44,191 --> 00:51:46,978
What kind of thing
would you repeat or report?

575
00:51:49,070 --> 00:51:50,862
Nothing said in friendship.

576
00:51:51,281 --> 00:51:52,609
Do you believe that?

577
00:51:52,699 --> 00:51:54,692
-Why, yes.
-No, seriously.

578
00:51:54,784 --> 00:51:56,160
Well, yes.

579
00:51:56,495 --> 00:52:00,444
Rich, seriously.

580
00:52:05,670 --> 00:52:09,004
That would depend what I was offered.

581
00:52:10,884 --> 00:52:12,508
Don't say it just to please me.

582
00:52:12,594 --> 00:52:15,299
It's true. It would depend
what I was offered.

583
00:52:17,390 --> 00:52:20,344
Well, there is another post vacant.

584
00:52:20,810 --> 00:52:23,017
Collector of Revenues for York.

585
00:52:23,647 --> 00:52:25,271
Is it in your gift?

586
00:52:25,357 --> 00:52:26,732
Effectively.

587
00:52:27,776 --> 00:52:29,567
What must I do for it?

588
00:52:31,988 --> 00:52:35,274
I know a man
who wants to change his woman.

589
00:52:36,910 --> 00:52:39,827
Normally a matter of small importance,
but in this case...

590
00:52:39,913 --> 00:52:43,080
...it's our liege, Lord Henry,
the eighth of that name.

591
00:52:43,834 --> 00:52:48,211
Which is a quaint way of saying that
if he wants to change his woman, he will.

592
00:52:48,296 --> 00:52:50,455
And our job as administrators...

593
00:52:51,049 --> 00:52:55,378
...is to minimise the inconvenience
which this is going to cause.

594
00:52:55,512 --> 00:52:59,806
That's our only job, Rich,
to minimise the inconvenience of things.

595
00:53:00,267 --> 00:53:03,268
A harmless occupation
you would say, but no.

596
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,521
We administrators are not liked, Rich.

597
00:53:06,982 --> 00:53:08,773
We are not popular.

598
00:53:08,859 --> 00:53:13,070
I say "we" on the assumption you'll accept
the post at York I've offered you.

599
00:53:18,034 --> 00:53:19,149
Yes.

600
00:53:27,002 --> 00:53:30,371
It's a bad sign when people are depressed
by their own good fortune.

601
00:53:30,463 --> 00:53:32,503
-I'm not depressed.
-You look depressed.

602
00:53:32,591 --> 00:53:34,998
I was lamenting. I've lost my innocence.

603
00:53:35,093 --> 00:53:37,964
Some time ago.
Have you only just noticed?

604
00:53:39,472 --> 00:53:43,636
Your friend, our present Lord Chancellor,
now there's an innocent man.

605
00:53:45,770 --> 00:53:47,644
The odd thing is, he is.

606
00:53:47,898 --> 00:53:50,898
Yes, I say he is. Unhappily...

607
00:53:50,984 --> 00:53:53,356
...his innocence is tangled up
in this problem...

608
00:53:53,445 --> 00:53:56,197
...that you can't change your woman
without a divorce...

609
00:53:56,281 --> 00:53:59,531
...and you can't get a divorce
unless the Pope says so.

610
00:53:59,659 --> 00:54:04,202
And from this meaningless circumstance,
I foresee a certain measure of....

611
00:54:04,539 --> 00:54:06,828
-lnconvenience?
-Just so.

612
00:54:07,918 --> 00:54:10,669
This goblet he gave you,
how much was it worth?

613
00:54:12,589 --> 00:54:16,800
Come along, he gave you a silver goblet.
How much did you get for it?

614
00:54:17,135 --> 00:54:18,333
Fifty shillings.

615
00:54:18,428 --> 00:54:21,429
It was a gift, wasn't it,
from a litigant, a woman?

616
00:54:22,015 --> 00:54:24,008
-Yes.
-Which court? Chancery?

617
00:54:25,769 --> 00:54:27,845
Don't get drunk!

618
00:54:28,355 --> 00:54:30,928
Which court was the litigant's case?

619
00:54:32,859 --> 00:54:34,603
Court of Requests.

620
00:54:36,696 --> 00:54:39,448
There. That wasn't too painful, was it?

621
00:54:42,077 --> 00:54:43,488
-No.
-No.

622
00:54:43,620 --> 00:54:46,241
And you'll find it easier, next time.

623
00:55:21,658 --> 00:55:24,493
My Lord Archbishop, my lords...

624
00:55:24,870 --> 00:55:27,242
...Reverend Doctors of the Church.

625
00:55:27,455 --> 00:55:30,373
The answer of our liege, Lord Henry...

626
00:55:30,458 --> 00:55:32,914
...to his trusty well-beloved subjects...

627
00:55:33,003 --> 00:55:35,754
...pontiffs in the Canterbury Convocation.

628
00:55:37,465 --> 00:55:38,746
"His Majesty...

629
00:55:38,884 --> 00:55:42,833
"...acknowledges your humble admission
of many grievous errors...

630
00:55:44,014 --> 00:55:45,472
"...for which he accepts...

631
00:55:45,557 --> 00:55:50,219
"...the manumission of �100,000 in token.

632
00:55:52,731 --> 00:55:56,563
"Mindful for the well-being of the realm
and the quietness of his subjects...

633
00:55:56,651 --> 00:56:01,064
"...His Majesty requires that you do now
straightly renounce your pretended...

634
00:56:01,156 --> 00:56:03,563
"...allegiance to the See of Rome.

635
00:56:04,117 --> 00:56:07,284
"And admit the statute
passed through parliament...

636
00:56:07,621 --> 00:56:10,159
"...acknowledging the King's good title...

637
00:56:10,749 --> 00:56:13,536
"...Supreme Head of the Church
in England."

638
00:56:19,174 --> 00:56:22,128
Well, my lords, what's your answer?

639
00:56:24,095 --> 00:56:26,468
Yea or nay?

640
00:56:28,767 --> 00:56:31,305
His Majesty accepts your resignation
very sadly.

641
00:56:31,686 --> 00:56:34,059
He's mindful of your goodness
and past loyalty.

642
00:56:34,147 --> 00:56:38,643
And in any matter concerning your honour
and welfare he'll continue your good lord.

643
00:56:40,028 --> 00:56:42,270
You will convey my humble gratitude.

644
00:56:48,537 --> 00:56:50,944
-Help me with this.
-Not l.

645
00:56:54,501 --> 00:56:56,375
-Alice?
-No.

646
00:56:57,337 --> 00:57:02,082
Sun and moon, Master More, you're taken
for a wise man. Is this wisdom?

647
00:57:02,384 --> 00:57:04,092
To betray your ability...

648
00:57:04,177 --> 00:57:07,842
...abandon your station
and forget your duty to your kith and kin?

649
00:57:08,557 --> 00:57:10,217
Shall l, sir?

650
00:57:11,893 --> 00:57:14,515
No, thank you, son Roper.

651
00:57:16,356 --> 00:57:17,519
Margaret...

652
00:57:18,817 --> 00:57:20,192
...will you?

653
00:57:21,528 --> 00:57:22,773
Yes.

654
00:57:27,909 --> 00:57:29,818
If you want.

655
00:57:34,958 --> 00:57:36,832
There's my clever girl.

656
00:57:40,213 --> 00:57:44,626
Well done, sir! In my opinion,
that thing's a degradation.

657
00:57:44,759 --> 00:57:47,333
I'll tell you my opinion
of the King's title, too--

658
00:57:47,429 --> 00:57:51,296
Don't! Will, silence!
Remember, you have a wife now...

659
00:57:52,184 --> 00:57:53,927
...and may have children.

660
00:58:05,780 --> 00:58:07,856
All right, Thomas, make me understand...

661
00:58:07,949 --> 00:58:10,736
...because I tell you,
to me this looks like cowardice!

662
00:58:10,827 --> 00:58:11,776
All right, I will.

663
00:58:12,078 --> 00:58:15,613
This isn't reformation,
this is war against the Church.

664
00:58:15,832 --> 00:58:19,497
Our King has declared war on the Pope
because the Pope will not declare...

665
00:58:19,586 --> 00:58:22,457
-...that our Queen is not his wife.
-And is she?

666
00:58:25,550 --> 00:58:26,879
Is she?

667
00:58:29,387 --> 00:58:32,305
Have I your word that what we say here
is between us two?

668
00:58:32,390 --> 00:58:33,588
Very well.

669
00:58:33,725 --> 00:58:37,260
And if the King should command you
to repeat what I may say?

670
00:58:37,395 --> 00:58:39,353
I should keep my word to you.

671
00:58:39,481 --> 00:58:43,313
Then what has become of your oath
of obedience to the King?

672
00:58:46,029 --> 00:58:47,856
You lay traps for me!

673
00:58:47,948 --> 00:58:50,569
No, I show you the times.

674
00:58:53,870 --> 00:58:57,738
We are at war with the Pope.
For the Pope's a prince, isn't he?

675
00:58:57,833 --> 00:59:01,877
He is. He's also the descendant
of St. Peter, our only link with Christ.

676
00:59:01,962 --> 00:59:05,829
So you believe.
And will you forfeit all you have...

677
00:59:05,924 --> 00:59:08,878
...which includes the respect
of your country, for a belief?

678
00:59:08,969 --> 00:59:12,254
Because what matters
is that I believe it, or rather, no...

679
00:59:12,848 --> 00:59:16,014
...not that I believe it, but that I believe it.

680
00:59:16,810 --> 00:59:20,179
-I trust I make myself obscure?
-Perfectly.

681
00:59:22,941 --> 00:59:26,773
Why do you insult me
with this lawyer's chatter?

682
00:59:27,487 --> 00:59:29,396
Because I'm afraid.

683
00:59:29,573 --> 00:59:31,197
Man, you're ill.

684
00:59:33,994 --> 00:59:36,615
This isn't Spain, you know.
This is England.

685
00:59:56,057 --> 01:00:00,102
My friends, you all know
why I've called you here.

686
01:00:00,854 --> 01:00:04,270
I have today resigned my office.

687
01:00:06,735 --> 01:00:09,736
I am no longer a great man.

688
01:00:10,947 --> 01:00:14,233
Sir, we want you to know
that we're all on your side.

689
01:00:15,076 --> 01:00:17,532
My side? What side is that?

690
01:00:17,913 --> 01:00:19,822
Well, sir, we all know what you think.

691
01:00:19,915 --> 01:00:22,406
None of you knows what I think.
And if you guess...

692
01:00:22,501 --> 01:00:25,537
...and babble it about,
you do me no good service.

693
01:00:27,339 --> 01:00:31,206
Since I am no more a great man,
I no longer need a great household.

694
01:00:31,301 --> 01:00:36,093
Nor can I afford one. You will have to go.

695
01:00:36,473 --> 01:00:39,557
However, I still number some great men
among my friends...

696
01:00:39,643 --> 01:00:41,931
...and they still need great households.

697
01:00:42,020 --> 01:00:45,436
No one will be turned away
until we've found another place for him.

698
01:00:45,524 --> 01:00:48,441
-We can't find places for them all.
-Yes, we can.

699
01:00:50,654 --> 01:00:52,148
Thank you.

700
01:00:53,448 --> 01:00:54,942
That is all.

701
01:01:05,669 --> 01:01:07,329
What about you, Matthew?

702
01:01:11,007 --> 01:01:12,550
Will you stay?

703
01:01:12,676 --> 01:01:14,633
Well, sir, that's according.

704
01:01:14,719 --> 01:01:17,507
There will be more work and less money.

705
01:01:18,849 --> 01:01:22,893
Well then, I don't see how I can then, sir.
After all, I've got my own--

706
01:01:22,978 --> 01:01:26,927
Quite right, Matthew. Why should you?
I shall miss you, Matthew.

707
01:01:28,066 --> 01:01:30,853
Oh, no, sir, you see through me, sir.
I know that.

708
01:01:35,532 --> 01:01:37,240
I shall miss you.

709
01:01:48,837 --> 01:01:51,126
Damn me! Isn't that them all over!

710
01:01:51,590 --> 01:01:53,962
Miss me? What's in me for him to miss?

711
01:01:54,050 --> 01:01:58,380
"Matthew, will you take a cut in wages?"
No, Sir Thomas, I will not.

712
01:01:58,471 --> 01:02:03,383
And that's it. And that's all of it! All right,
so he's down on his luck, I'm sorry.

713
01:02:04,186 --> 01:02:06,427
I don't mind saying
that I'm sorry, bad luck.

714
01:02:06,730 --> 01:02:08,888
If I had good luck to spare
he could have some!

715
01:02:08,982 --> 01:02:10,975
I wish we could have good luck
all the time.

716
01:02:11,067 --> 01:02:15,694
I wish rainwater was beer!
I wish we had wings! But we don't.

717
01:02:26,833 --> 01:02:29,205
Well, there's an end of you.

718
01:02:30,086 --> 01:02:32,126
What'll you do now? Sit by the fire...

719
01:02:32,214 --> 01:02:34,372
...and make goslings in the ash?

720
01:02:34,466 --> 01:02:36,505
Not at all, Alice.

721
01:02:37,385 --> 01:02:39,793
I expect I'll write a bit...

722
01:02:40,972 --> 01:02:42,348
...I'll write...

723
01:02:43,225 --> 01:02:45,383
...I'll read, I'll think.

724
01:02:47,020 --> 01:02:48,847
I think I'll learn to fish.

725
01:02:50,607 --> 01:02:54,557
I'll play with my grandchildren
when son Roper's done his duty.

726
01:02:56,321 --> 01:02:59,737
-Alice, shall I teach you to read?
-No, by God!

727
01:03:03,203 --> 01:03:06,120
Poor, silly man,
you think they'll leave you here to think?

728
01:03:06,206 --> 01:03:08,661
If we govern our tongues, they will!

729
01:03:12,337 --> 01:03:16,880
I have a word to say on that. I've made
no statement. I've resigned, that's all.

730
01:03:18,218 --> 01:03:22,168
The King is made, by act of parliament,
Supreme Head of the Church in England.

731
01:03:22,264 --> 01:03:26,557
This English Church will divorce him from
the Queen, then marry him to Lady Anne.

732
01:03:26,643 --> 01:03:30,510
But on any of these matters,
have you heard me make a statement?

733
01:03:30,647 --> 01:03:31,678
No.

734
01:03:31,982 --> 01:03:35,766
If I'm to lose my rank and fall to
housekeeping, I want to know the reason.

735
01:03:35,861 --> 01:03:37,900
-So make a statement now.
-No.

736
01:03:37,988 --> 01:03:40,989
Alice, it's a point of law.
Accept it from me...

737
01:03:41,074 --> 01:03:43,992
...that in silence is my safety,
under the law.

738
01:03:44,077 --> 01:03:47,742
And my silence must be absolute,
it must extend to you.

739
01:03:47,831 --> 01:03:49,954
In short, you don't trust me.

740
01:03:53,670 --> 01:03:57,620
I'm the Lord Chief Justice,
I'm Cromwell, I'm the keeper of the Tower.

741
01:03:57,966 --> 01:03:59,341
I take your hand...

742
01:03:59,426 --> 01:04:03,293
...I clamp it on the Bible,
on the blessed Cross and I say:

743
01:04:03,388 --> 01:04:06,757
"Woman, has your husband
made a statement on these matters?

744
01:04:07,350 --> 01:04:10,802
"On peril of your soul remember,
what is your answer?"

745
01:04:12,898 --> 01:04:13,977
No.

746
01:04:15,233 --> 01:04:18,020
And so it must remain.

747
01:04:26,995 --> 01:04:29,486
Have you opened your mind to Meg?

748
01:04:29,956 --> 01:04:32,743
Would I tell Meg what I won't tell you?

749
01:04:33,460 --> 01:04:36,829
Meg has your heart.
I know that well enough.

750
01:04:48,558 --> 01:04:50,717
This is a dangerous matter then...

751
01:04:51,686 --> 01:04:53,478
...if you've not told Meg.

752
01:04:54,147 --> 01:04:57,101
I don't think so. No.

753
01:04:58,443 --> 01:05:00,566
When they find I'm silent...

754
01:05:01,321 --> 01:05:04,488
...they'll want nothing better
than to leave me silent.

755
01:05:05,742 --> 01:05:07,284
You'll see.

756
01:05:29,432 --> 01:05:32,801
But he's silent, Master Secretary,
why not leave him silent?

757
01:05:32,978 --> 01:05:36,014
Your Grace, not being a man of letters...

758
01:05:36,648 --> 01:05:39,483
...you perhaps don't realise
the extent of his reputation.

759
01:05:39,568 --> 01:05:42,522
This silence of his
is bellowing up and down Europe!

760
01:05:42,612 --> 01:05:44,819
In Europe he is claimed
as the King's enemy.

761
01:05:44,906 --> 01:05:47,362
Rubbish! Crank he may be,
traitor he is not.

762
01:05:47,450 --> 01:05:49,858
Exactly. And with a little pressure....

763
01:05:50,871 --> 01:05:53,077
With a little pressure
he can be got to say so.

764
01:05:53,165 --> 01:05:55,916
That's all we need.
A brief declaration of his loyalty...

765
01:05:56,001 --> 01:05:59,915
-...to the present administration.
-I still say, let sleeping dogs lie.

766
01:06:00,797 --> 01:06:03,086
The King does not agree with you.

767
01:06:08,138 --> 01:06:12,266
What kind of pressure do you think
you can bring to bear?

768
01:06:12,934 --> 01:06:16,884
I have evidence that Sir Thomas,
while he was a judge, accepted bribes.

769
01:06:16,980 --> 01:06:18,391
What?

770
01:06:18,690 --> 01:06:22,604
Goddammit! He was the only judge
since Cato who didn't accept bribes!

771
01:06:22,694 --> 01:06:25,980
When was there a chancellor
whose possessions, after three years...

772
01:06:26,072 --> 01:06:28,908
...totalled �100 and a gold chain?

773
01:06:32,913 --> 01:06:35,238
It is, as you imply, common practice...

774
01:06:35,332 --> 01:06:38,368
...but a practice may be common
and remain an offence.

775
01:06:38,460 --> 01:06:41,033
This offence could send a man
to the Tower.

776
01:06:46,218 --> 01:06:47,498
Come here.

777
01:06:48,512 --> 01:06:51,845
This woman's name is Averil Machin.
She comes from Leicester.

778
01:06:51,932 --> 01:06:54,055
-She entered a case--
-A property case it was.

779
01:06:54,142 --> 01:06:55,601
Shut your mouth.

780
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,224
A property case in the Court of Requests
in April, 1528.

781
01:06:59,314 --> 01:07:00,856
And got a wicked false judgement!

782
01:07:00,941 --> 01:07:03,776
And got an impeccably correct judgement
from Sir Thomas.

783
01:07:03,860 --> 01:07:05,936
-No, sir, it was not!
-Tell the gentleman...

784
01:07:06,029 --> 01:07:08,734
...about the gift you gave the judge.

785
01:07:09,866 --> 01:07:11,574
I gave him a cup, sir.

786
01:07:11,701 --> 01:07:15,153
A silver ltalian cup I bought in Leicester,
for 100 shillings.

787
01:07:15,247 --> 01:07:17,239
Did Sir Thomas accept this cup?

788
01:07:17,499 --> 01:07:18,697
Yes, sir, he did.

789
01:07:18,792 --> 01:07:22,243
He did accept it. We can corroborate that.
You can go.

790
01:07:22,587 --> 01:07:24,496
-To my way of thinking--
-Go!

791
01:07:33,431 --> 01:07:36,101
-ls that your witness?
-No.

792
01:07:36,893 --> 01:07:41,639
By an odd coincidence that cup later
came into the hands of Master Rich here.

793
01:07:43,441 --> 01:07:44,556
How?

794
01:07:47,487 --> 01:07:50,572
-He gave it to me, Your Grace.
-Gave it to you? Why?

795
01:07:50,991 --> 01:07:52,236
A gift.

796
01:07:53,243 --> 01:07:56,363
Yes, you were a friend, weren't you?

797
01:07:56,997 --> 01:07:59,239
When did Thomas give you this thing?

798
01:08:00,083 --> 01:08:01,957
I can't exactly remember.

799
01:08:04,796 --> 01:08:07,204
Do you "remember" what you did with it?

800
01:08:07,632 --> 01:08:09,424
-I sold it.
-Where?

801
01:08:10,093 --> 01:08:12,299
-A shop.
-Has the shop still got it?

802
01:08:13,388 --> 01:08:15,546
No. They've lost all track of it.

803
01:08:15,807 --> 01:08:17,266
How convenient.

804
01:08:19,394 --> 01:08:21,517
You doubt Master Rich's word,
Your Grace?

805
01:08:21,605 --> 01:08:23,930
It had occurred to me.

806
01:08:26,985 --> 01:08:29,061
This is the bill of sale.

807
01:08:39,873 --> 01:08:44,665
That cow put her case into court in April,
you said. This is dated May.

808
01:08:45,795 --> 01:08:48,749
In other words, the moment Thomas knew
the cup was a bribe...

809
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:52,256
...he dropped it into the nearest gutter.

810
01:08:55,138 --> 01:08:58,139
The facts will bear that interpretation,
I suppose.

811
01:08:59,392 --> 01:09:02,144
This is a horse that won't run,
Master Secretary.

812
01:09:02,229 --> 01:09:05,016
Just a trial gallop.
We'll find something better.

813
01:09:05,106 --> 01:09:07,680
-I want no part of it.
-You have no choice.

814
01:09:09,569 --> 01:09:11,313
What's that you say?

815
01:09:12,781 --> 01:09:17,194
The King particularly wishes you
to be active in this matter of Sir Thomas.

816
01:09:17,661 --> 01:09:19,203
He's not told me that.

817
01:09:19,287 --> 01:09:21,197
Indeed? He told me.

818
01:09:25,335 --> 01:09:26,960
Look here, Cromwell...

819
01:09:27,254 --> 01:09:29,412
...what's the purpose of all this?

820
01:09:29,548 --> 01:09:31,090
There you have me.

821
01:09:32,467 --> 01:09:34,709
It's a matter of conscience, I think.

822
01:09:34,928 --> 01:09:38,427
The King wants Sir Thomas
to bless his marriage.

823
01:09:38,890 --> 01:09:43,386
If Sir Thomas appeared at the wedding
now, it might save us all a lot of trouble.

824
01:09:45,939 --> 01:09:48,347
He won't attend the wedding.

825
01:09:48,483 --> 01:09:50,974
If I were you, I'd try and persuade him.

826
01:09:51,611 --> 01:09:54,778
I really would try, if I were you.

827
01:09:57,284 --> 01:10:00,285
Cromwell, are you threatening me?

828
01:10:00,412 --> 01:10:03,745
My dear Norfolk, this isn't Spain.

829
01:10:04,624 --> 01:10:06,284
This is England!

830
01:12:22,679 --> 01:12:25,170
Thomas? Thomas!

831
01:13:31,122 --> 01:13:32,237
Lady Margaret?

832
01:13:32,332 --> 01:13:33,197
Yes.

833
01:13:35,502 --> 01:13:39,001
We've been cutting greens.
We use them for fuel.

834
01:13:41,258 --> 01:13:45,587
I have a letter for your father,
Lady Margaret. From Hampton Court.

835
01:13:49,015 --> 01:13:53,143
He's to answer certain charges
before Secretary Cromwell.

836
01:13:56,314 --> 01:13:58,188
Good of you to come, Sir Thomas.

837
01:14:04,197 --> 01:14:06,735
Master Rich will make a record
of our conversation.

838
01:14:06,825 --> 01:14:08,864
Good of you to tell me, Master Secretary.

839
01:14:08,952 --> 01:14:10,446
I think you know one another.

840
01:14:10,537 --> 01:14:12,862
Indeed yes, we're old friends.

841
01:14:13,832 --> 01:14:16,157
That's a nice gown you have, Richard.

842
01:14:21,339 --> 01:14:23,581
Sir Thomas, believe me.

843
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:27,880
No, that's asking too much.
But let me tell you all the same.

844
01:14:28,180 --> 01:14:31,964
You have no more sincere admirer
than myself.

845
01:14:33,101 --> 01:14:35,473
No, not yet, Rich, not yet.

846
01:14:39,482 --> 01:14:41,309
If I might hear the charges.

847
01:14:41,401 --> 01:14:44,355
-The charges?
-I understand there are certain charges.

848
01:14:44,446 --> 01:14:48,064
Some ambiguities of behaviour
I should like to clarify, hardly charges.

849
01:14:48,158 --> 01:14:51,823
Make a note of that, will you, Master Rich?
There are no charges.

850
01:14:52,829 --> 01:14:55,071
Sir Thomas, Sir Thomas.

851
01:15:00,086 --> 01:15:03,123
The King is not pleased with you.

852
01:15:03,924 --> 01:15:05,418
I am grieved.

853
01:15:06,218 --> 01:15:09,717
And yet, do you know that even now,
if you could bring yourself...

854
01:15:09,804 --> 01:15:13,423
...to agree with the Church,
universities, the Lords and the Commons...

855
01:15:13,517 --> 01:15:17,301
...there is no honour which His Majesty
would be likely to deny you?

856
01:15:17,854 --> 01:15:21,140
I am well acquainted with
His Grace's generosity.

857
01:15:24,236 --> 01:15:25,350
Very well.

858
01:15:27,823 --> 01:15:32,069
You have heard of the so-called
"Holy Maid of Kent"...

859
01:15:32,494 --> 01:15:34,985
...who was executed for prophesying
against the King?

860
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:37,238
-Yes, I met her.
-Yes, you met her.

861
01:15:37,415 --> 01:15:41,034
Yet you did not warn His Majesty
of her treason. How was that?

862
01:15:41,127 --> 01:15:44,496
She spoke no treason.
Our talk was not political.

863
01:15:44,881 --> 01:15:47,882
But the woman was notorious.
Do you expect me to believe that?

864
01:15:47,968 --> 01:15:51,171
-Happily, there were witnesses.
-You wrote a letter to her.

865
01:15:51,263 --> 01:15:56,174
Yes. I wrote, advising her to abstain
from meddling in the affairs of state.

866
01:15:56,268 --> 01:16:00,182
I have a copy of the letter. Also witnessed.

867
01:16:02,357 --> 01:16:07,434
-You have been cautious.
-I like to keep my affairs regular.

868
01:16:14,536 --> 01:16:18,450
In the June of 1521,
the King published a book.

869
01:16:19,457 --> 01:16:20,952
A theological work.

870
01:16:22,460 --> 01:16:25,165
It was called,
A Defence of the Seven Sacraments.

871
01:16:25,255 --> 01:16:30,213
For which he was named "Defender
of the Faith" by His Holiness, the Pope.

872
01:16:30,302 --> 01:16:33,671
By the Bishop of Rome,
or do you insist on "pope"?

873
01:16:33,763 --> 01:16:37,927
No. "Bishop of Rome" if you like.
It doesn't alter his authority.

874
01:16:39,060 --> 01:16:44,399
Thank you. You come to the point
very readily. What is that authority?

875
01:16:44,482 --> 01:16:46,559
For example, in the Church of England...

876
01:16:46,651 --> 01:16:49,486
...what exactly is
the Bishop of Rome's authority?

877
01:16:50,405 --> 01:16:54,734
You will find it very ably set out
and defended, Master Secretary...

878
01:16:54,993 --> 01:16:56,784
...in the King's book.

879
01:16:57,370 --> 01:17:00,704
In the book published under
the King's name, would be more accurate.

880
01:17:00,790 --> 01:17:03,282
-You wrote this book.
-I wrote no part of it.

881
01:17:03,376 --> 01:17:05,250
I don't mean you actually held the pen.

882
01:17:05,337 --> 01:17:08,172
I answered to my best ability,
some points of common law...

883
01:17:08,256 --> 01:17:10,582
...which the King put to me,
as I was bound to do.

884
01:17:10,675 --> 01:17:12,253
Do you deny you instigated it?

885
01:17:12,344 --> 01:17:15,926
It was from first to last
the King's own project.

886
01:17:16,014 --> 01:17:17,129
The King says not.

887
01:17:20,602 --> 01:17:22,927
The King knows the truth of it.

888
01:17:23,813 --> 01:17:26,102
And whatever he may have said to you...

889
01:17:26,191 --> 01:17:29,394
...he will not give evidence
to support this accusation.

890
01:17:30,821 --> 01:17:32,101
Why not?

891
01:17:32,197 --> 01:17:36,491
Because evidence is given on oath,
and he will not perjure himself.

892
01:17:37,077 --> 01:17:40,825
If you don't know that,
then you don't yet know him.

893
01:17:46,503 --> 01:17:47,878
Sir Thomas More.

894
01:17:48,046 --> 01:17:49,244
Have you anything to say...

895
01:17:49,339 --> 01:17:51,711
...regarding the King's marriage
with Queen Anne?

896
01:17:52,634 --> 01:17:54,959
I understood
I was not to be asked that again.

897
01:17:55,053 --> 01:17:57,176
Then you understood wrongly.
These charges--

898
01:17:57,264 --> 01:18:01,724
They are terrors for children,
Master Secretary, not for me!

899
01:18:07,440 --> 01:18:10,192
Then know that the King
commands me to charge you...

900
01:18:10,277 --> 01:18:12,850
...in his name, with great ingratitude!

901
01:18:13,655 --> 01:18:17,735
And to tell you that there never was,
nor could be, so villainous a servant...

902
01:18:17,826 --> 01:18:20,696
...nor so traitorous a subject, as yourself!

903
01:18:22,539 --> 01:18:23,570
So...

904
01:18:26,293 --> 01:18:28,581
...I am brought here at last.

905
01:18:29,546 --> 01:18:30,577
Brought?

906
01:18:31,882 --> 01:18:34,551
You've brought yourself
to where you stand now.

907
01:18:36,803 --> 01:18:37,966
You may go.

908
01:18:43,518 --> 01:18:44,894
For the present.

909
01:18:51,318 --> 01:18:52,942
What will you do now?

910
01:18:55,155 --> 01:18:57,029
Whatever's necessary.

911
01:19:05,999 --> 01:19:07,030
Boat!

912
01:19:23,934 --> 01:19:26,935
Oh, come, come, it's not as bad as all that!

913
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:33,645
Howard!

914
01:19:39,699 --> 01:19:41,277
I can't get home.

915
01:19:42,035 --> 01:19:43,862
They won't bring me a boat.

916
01:19:44,162 --> 01:19:45,906
Do you blame them?

917
01:19:46,081 --> 01:19:47,705
Is it as bad as that?

918
01:19:48,166 --> 01:19:50,491
It's every bit as bad as that!

919
01:19:51,586 --> 01:19:54,124
Then it's good of you to be seen with me.

920
01:19:54,214 --> 01:19:55,792
I followed you.

921
01:19:56,925 --> 01:19:58,668
Were you followed?

922
01:20:09,229 --> 01:20:11,435
-You're dangerous to know!
-Then don't know me.

923
01:20:11,523 --> 01:20:13,480
-I do know you.
-I mean as a friend.

924
01:20:13,567 --> 01:20:17,611
-I am your friend. I wish I wasn't, but I am.
-What's to be done then?

925
01:20:17,737 --> 01:20:19,813
-Give in.
-I can't give in, Howard.

926
01:20:19,906 --> 01:20:22,195
Our friendship's more mutable than that.

927
01:20:22,284 --> 01:20:25,035
The one fixed point in the world
of turning friendship...

928
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:28,868
-...is that Sir More won't give in.
-To me it has to be, for that's myself.

929
01:20:28,957 --> 01:20:31,578
Affection goes as deep in me
as you, I think.

930
01:20:32,043 --> 01:20:36,504
But only God is love right through,
Howard, and that's my self.

931
01:20:38,091 --> 01:20:39,466
And who are you?

932
01:20:41,219 --> 01:20:43,295
A lawyer! And a lawyer's son!

933
01:20:43,388 --> 01:20:47,433
We're supposed to be the proud ones,
the arrogant ones, we've all given in.

934
01:20:47,517 --> 01:20:49,177
Why must you stand out?

935
01:20:49,269 --> 01:20:52,638
Goddammit man! It's disproportionate!

936
01:20:55,859 --> 01:20:57,436
You'll break my heart.

937
01:20:58,653 --> 01:21:02,521
No one is safe, Howard,
and you have a son.

938
01:21:05,869 --> 01:21:08,158
We'll end our friendship now.

939
01:21:08,580 --> 01:21:10,703
-For friendship's sake?
-Yes.

940
01:21:11,500 --> 01:21:12,413
Daft!

941
01:21:20,175 --> 01:21:22,084
Norfolk, you're a fool!

942
01:21:23,512 --> 01:21:25,967
You can't place a quarrel,
you haven't the style.

943
01:21:26,056 --> 01:21:29,674
Hear me out. You and your class
have given in, as you rightly call it...

944
01:21:29,768 --> 01:21:32,769
...'cause this country's religion
means nothing to you at all.

945
01:21:32,854 --> 01:21:35,096
Well, that's a foolish saying for a start!

946
01:21:36,066 --> 01:21:37,608
The nobility of England--

947
01:21:37,692 --> 01:21:41,820
The nobility of England would have
snored through the Sermon on the Mount!

948
01:21:41,905 --> 01:21:45,689
But you'll labour like scholars
over a bulldog's pedigree.

949
01:21:46,201 --> 01:21:48,075
An artificial quarrel is not a quarrel.

950
01:21:48,161 --> 01:21:51,862
We've had a quarrel since the day we met.
Our friendship was mere sloth.

951
01:21:52,165 --> 01:21:55,000
You can be cruel when you want,
but I've always known that.

952
01:21:55,085 --> 01:21:58,288
What do you value in your bulldogs?
Gripping, is it not?

953
01:22:00,298 --> 01:22:01,543
-Yes.
-It's their nature?

954
01:22:01,633 --> 01:22:03,424
-Yes.
-It's why you breed them?

955
01:22:03,510 --> 01:22:04,708
It's so with men.

956
01:22:05,136 --> 01:22:07,129
I will not give in, because I oppose it.

957
01:22:07,222 --> 01:22:12,809
Not my pride, not my spleen,
nor any other of my appetites, but I do, l.

958
01:22:13,687 --> 01:22:17,767
Is there, in the midst of all this muscle,
no sinew that serves no appetite...

959
01:22:17,858 --> 01:22:20,183
...of Norfolk's, but is just Norfolk?
There is!

960
01:22:20,277 --> 01:22:22,234
-Give that some exercise, my lord!
-Thomas!

961
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:25,357
As you stand you'll go before your Maker
ill conditioned!

962
01:22:25,448 --> 01:22:26,148
Now steady.

963
01:22:26,241 --> 01:22:31,152
And he'll think that, somewhere back along
your pedigree, a bitch got over the wall!

964
01:22:45,552 --> 01:22:49,597
Cast in this very house
on April 3, last year...

965
01:22:49,973 --> 01:22:54,350
...it is a matter very fit
for the Commons, gathered here...

966
01:22:54,436 --> 01:22:57,009
...in parliament, to take in hand.

967
01:22:57,272 --> 01:23:01,435
Or, in consequence of the decay of guilds...

968
01:23:01,735 --> 01:23:05,863
...the woolen cloth, now coming out
of Yorkshire, Lincoln...

969
01:23:05,947 --> 01:23:09,447
...and the like, is not to blame and this....

970
01:23:11,578 --> 01:23:14,745
I will defer the rest of my matter to later.

971
01:23:22,255 --> 01:23:26,668
That the loyal Commons, here assembled,
will speedily enact this bill, I doubt not.

972
01:23:26,927 --> 01:23:31,339
For as much as it concerns the King's
new title and his marriage to Queen Anne.

973
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:35,388
Both matters pleasing to a loyal subject.

974
01:23:37,020 --> 01:23:38,763
Mark, my Masters...

975
01:23:39,105 --> 01:23:43,602
...there is among us
a brood of discreet traitors...

976
01:23:43,985 --> 01:23:46,311
...to which deceit
the King can brook no longer.

977
01:23:46,404 --> 01:23:52,443
And we, his loyal huntsmen, must now
drive these subtle foxes from their covert.

978
01:24:21,314 --> 01:24:22,096
Father?

979
01:24:22,190 --> 01:24:23,269
Margaret!

980
01:24:24,860 --> 01:24:26,568
I couldn't get a boat.

981
01:24:27,112 --> 01:24:28,736
What is it, Meg?

982
01:24:28,822 --> 01:24:31,491
Father, there's a new act
going through parliament.

983
01:24:33,702 --> 01:24:36,193
And by this act,
they're going to administer an oath...

984
01:24:36,288 --> 01:24:38,079
...about the marriage.

985
01:24:38,748 --> 01:24:40,492
On what compulsion is the oath?

986
01:24:41,751 --> 01:24:44,077
-High treason.
-But what is the wording?

987
01:24:44,171 --> 01:24:46,543
Do the words matter?
We know what it means.

988
01:24:46,631 --> 01:24:47,746
Tell me the words.

989
01:24:47,841 --> 01:24:50,546
An oath is made of words.
It may be possible to take it.

990
01:24:50,635 --> 01:24:51,252
Take it?

991
01:24:51,553 --> 01:24:53,759
And if it can be taken,
you must take it, too.

992
01:24:54,848 --> 01:24:55,512
No!

993
01:24:55,599 --> 01:25:00,011
Listen, Meg. God made the angels
to show him splendour.

994
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:05,229
As he made animals for innocence
and plants for their simplicity.

995
01:25:05,358 --> 01:25:10,186
But Man he made to serve him wittily,
in the tangle of his mind.

996
01:25:10,655 --> 01:25:13,989
If he suffers us to come to such a case
that there is no escaping...

997
01:25:14,075 --> 01:25:16,911
...then we may stand to our tackle
as best we can.

998
01:25:16,995 --> 01:25:22,037
And yes, Meg, then we can clamour
like champions, if we have the spittle for it.

999
01:25:22,375 --> 01:25:26,325
But it's God's part, not our own,
to bring ourselves to such a pass.

1000
01:25:26,421 --> 01:25:29,790
Our natural business lies in escaping.

1001
01:25:32,010 --> 01:25:34,003
If I can take this oath, I will.

1002
01:25:39,100 --> 01:25:40,927
I would, for my sake,
you could take the oath.

1003
01:25:41,019 --> 01:25:43,592
I never took a man into the Tower
less willingly.

1004
01:25:44,022 --> 01:25:45,849
Thank you, Master Governor.

1005
01:25:48,860 --> 01:25:50,236
Thank you.

1006
01:25:52,531 --> 01:25:53,693
Sir Thomas.

1007
01:27:27,334 --> 01:27:28,532
Sir Thomas.

1008
01:27:31,713 --> 01:27:32,958
Sir Thomas!

1009
01:27:53,652 --> 01:27:55,644
This is iniquitous.

1010
01:27:59,407 --> 01:28:01,780
-Where to this time?
-Richmond Palace.

1011
01:28:58,925 --> 01:29:00,254
Sit down.

1012
01:29:07,893 --> 01:29:11,096
This is the Seventh Commission
to inquire into the case...

1013
01:29:11,188 --> 01:29:14,188
...of Sir Thomas More, appointed
by His Majesty's Council.

1014
01:29:14,274 --> 01:29:16,231
Have you anything to say?

1015
01:29:16,318 --> 01:29:17,397
No.

1016
01:29:20,238 --> 01:29:22,195
-Seen this document before?
-Many times.

1017
01:29:22,282 --> 01:29:23,907
It is the Act of Succession.

1018
01:29:23,992 --> 01:29:26,483
These are the names
of those who have sworn to it.

1019
01:29:26,578 --> 01:29:29,579
-I have, as you say, seen it before.
-Will you swear to it?

1020
01:29:29,664 --> 01:29:30,744
No.

1021
01:29:31,583 --> 01:29:33,540
Thomas, we must know--

1022
01:29:37,589 --> 01:29:41,752
We must know plainly whether you
recognise the offspring of Queen Anne...

1023
01:29:41,843 --> 01:29:43,836
...as heirs to the throne.

1024
01:29:43,929 --> 01:29:46,550
The King in parliament
tells me that they are.

1025
01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:49,178
-Of course I recognise them.
-Will you swear to it?

1026
01:29:49,267 --> 01:29:52,268
-Yes.
-Then why won't he swear to the act?

1027
01:29:52,354 --> 01:29:55,189
Because there is more than that in the act.

1028
01:29:55,273 --> 01:29:59,816
Just so. Sir Thomas, it states in the
preamble that the King's former marriage...

1029
01:29:59,903 --> 01:30:01,896
...to the Lady Catherine was unlawful...

1030
01:30:01,988 --> 01:30:06,697
...she being his brother's widow and
the Pope having no authority to sanction it.

1031
01:30:07,953 --> 01:30:09,862
Is that what you deny?

1032
01:30:15,836 --> 01:30:17,912
Is that what you dispute?

1033
01:30:24,427 --> 01:30:27,345
Is that what you are not sure of?

1034
01:30:33,562 --> 01:30:38,022
You insult His Majesty and Council
in the person of the Lord Archbishop!

1035
01:30:38,108 --> 01:30:39,353
I insult no one.

1036
01:30:39,442 --> 01:30:43,310
I will not take the oath.
I will not tell you why I will not.

1037
01:30:43,446 --> 01:30:46,981
-Then your reasons must be treasonable!
-Not "must be," may be.

1038
01:30:47,075 --> 01:30:48,783
It's a fair assumption!

1039
01:30:48,869 --> 01:30:52,736
The law requires more than an assumption,
the law requires a fact.

1040
01:30:52,831 --> 01:30:56,034
Of course, I cannot judge
your legal standing in the case...

1041
01:30:56,126 --> 01:30:58,961
...but until I know the ground
of your objections...

1042
01:30:59,045 --> 01:31:03,043
...I can only guess
your spiritual standing, too.

1043
01:31:03,425 --> 01:31:07,375
If you're willing to guess that, it should be
small matter to guess my objections.

1044
01:31:07,470 --> 01:31:09,463
Then you do have objections to the act?

1045
01:31:09,556 --> 01:31:11,383
Well, we know that, Cromwell!

1046
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:12,975
No, my lord, you don't.

1047
01:31:13,059 --> 01:31:17,009
You may suppose I have objections,
all you know is that I will not swear to it...

1048
01:31:17,105 --> 01:31:20,141
...for which you cannot lawfully
harm me further.

1049
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:24,943
But if you were right in supposing me
to have objections, and right again...

1050
01:31:25,030 --> 01:31:27,568
...in supposing my objections
to be treasonable...

1051
01:31:27,657 --> 01:31:30,991
...the law would let you cut my head off.

1052
01:31:32,496 --> 01:31:34,120
Oh, yes.

1053
01:31:35,290 --> 01:31:36,915
Well done, Sir Thomas.

1054
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:40,998
I've been trying to make that clear
to His Grace for some time.

1055
01:31:41,087 --> 01:31:43,376
Oh, confound all this! I'm not a scholar.

1056
01:31:43,465 --> 01:31:45,623
I don't know if the marriage
was lawful or not...

1057
01:31:45,717 --> 01:31:47,793
...but damn it, Thomas,
look at these names.

1058
01:31:48,303 --> 01:31:51,754
Why can't you do as I did,
and come with us, for fellowship?

1059
01:31:53,225 --> 01:31:56,973
And when we die, and you are sent
to heaven for doing your conscience...

1060
01:31:57,062 --> 01:32:02,103
...and I am sent to hell for not doing mine,
will you come with me, for fellowship?

1061
01:32:03,401 --> 01:32:06,687
So, those of us whose names are there,
are damned, Sir Thomas?

1062
01:32:06,780 --> 01:32:09,781
I have no window to look into
another man's conscience.

1063
01:32:09,866 --> 01:32:11,147
I condemn no one.

1064
01:32:11,243 --> 01:32:13,816
-Then the matter is capable of question?
-Certainly.

1065
01:32:13,912 --> 01:32:17,162
But that you owe obedience to the King
is not capable of question.

1066
01:32:17,249 --> 01:32:20,452
So weigh a doubt against a certainty
and sign.

1067
01:32:23,421 --> 01:32:28,463
Some men think the earth is round,
others think it flat.

1068
01:32:28,677 --> 01:32:31,215
It is a matter capable of question.

1069
01:32:32,013 --> 01:32:36,307
But if it is flat,
will the King's command make it round?

1070
01:32:36,393 --> 01:32:39,726
And if it is round,
will the King's command flatten it?

1071
01:32:40,564 --> 01:32:43,434
No, I will not sign.

1072
01:32:43,859 --> 01:32:47,274
Then you have more regard for
your own doubt than the King's command?

1073
01:32:47,362 --> 01:32:49,651
-For myself I have no doubt.
-No doubt of what?

1074
01:32:49,739 --> 01:32:52,028
No doubt that I will not take this oath.

1075
01:32:52,117 --> 01:32:56,411
But why I will not, you,
Master Secretary, will not trick out of me.

1076
01:32:56,830 --> 01:32:59,700
I might get it out of you in other ways.

1077
01:33:00,959 --> 01:33:03,532
You threaten like a dockside bully.

1078
01:33:03,712 --> 01:33:04,957
How should I threaten?

1079
01:33:05,046 --> 01:33:08,878
Like a minister of state, with justice!

1080
01:33:09,593 --> 01:33:12,214
Justice is what you're threatened with.

1081
01:33:12,345 --> 01:33:14,219
Then I am not threatened.

1082
01:33:20,604 --> 01:33:22,892
Gentlemen, can't I go to bed?

1083
01:33:23,106 --> 01:33:25,562
Aye. The prisoner may retire
as he requests.

1084
01:33:25,650 --> 01:33:28,817
-Unless you--
-I see no purpose in prolonging this.

1085
01:33:32,824 --> 01:33:35,944
Then, goodnight, Thomas.

1086
01:33:41,124 --> 01:33:43,615
May I have one or two more books?

1087
01:33:44,503 --> 01:33:45,997
Why, you have books?

1088
01:33:46,463 --> 01:33:47,328
Yes.

1089
01:33:47,422 --> 01:33:49,960
I didn't know, you shouldn't have.

1090
01:33:58,225 --> 01:34:00,051
May I see my family?

1091
01:34:00,143 --> 01:34:01,222
No.

1092
01:34:07,692 --> 01:34:08,724
Captain!

1093
01:34:09,027 --> 01:34:10,735
Master Secretary?

1094
01:34:11,571 --> 01:34:15,189
Have you ever heard the prisoner speak
of the King's divorce, supremacy...

1095
01:34:15,283 --> 01:34:17,572
-...or the King's marriage?
-No, not a word.

1096
01:34:17,661 --> 01:34:20,365
If he does, you will repeat it to me.

1097
01:34:21,373 --> 01:34:22,748
Of course.

1098
01:34:27,879 --> 01:34:28,745
Rich.

1099
01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:29,746
Secretary?

1100
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:32,544
Tomorrow morning,
remove the prisoner's books.

1101
01:34:32,717 --> 01:34:34,425
Is that necessary?

1102
01:34:34,511 --> 01:34:37,547
With regards to this case,
the King is becoming impatient.

1103
01:34:37,639 --> 01:34:39,513
-Aye, with you.
-With all of us.

1104
01:34:39,599 --> 01:34:42,885
The King's impatience
will embrace a duke or two.

1105
01:34:52,696 --> 01:34:54,154
Master Secretary.

1106
01:34:56,116 --> 01:34:58,274
Sir Redvers Llewellyn has retired.

1107
01:34:59,286 --> 01:35:01,325
The Attorney General for Wales.

1108
01:35:01,580 --> 01:35:03,371
His post is vacant.

1109
01:35:04,499 --> 01:35:06,706
You said that I might approach you.

1110
01:35:07,878 --> 01:35:09,835
Not now, Rich.

1111
01:35:12,924 --> 01:35:15,131
He must submit. He must!

1112
01:35:16,303 --> 01:35:17,334
Rack him.

1113
01:35:21,349 --> 01:35:25,050
No. The King's conscience
will not permit it.

1114
01:35:25,437 --> 01:35:27,809
We have to find some other way.

1115
01:35:37,115 --> 01:35:38,526
Sir Thomas!

1116
01:35:40,952 --> 01:35:41,782
Father!

1117
01:35:41,870 --> 01:35:43,245
What? Margaret?

1118
01:35:44,122 --> 01:35:45,616
Father!

1119
01:35:46,333 --> 01:35:49,499
Meg. For God's sake,
they haven't put you in here?

1120
01:35:49,586 --> 01:35:51,994
-No, sir, a visit.
-A brief one, Sir Thomas.

1121
01:35:52,088 --> 01:35:53,499
Father.

1122
01:35:54,549 --> 01:35:56,874
-Good morning, husband.
-Good morning.

1123
01:36:00,472 --> 01:36:02,263
Good morning, Will.

1124
01:36:07,646 --> 01:36:09,971
Well, this is a hellish place!

1125
01:36:10,232 --> 01:36:13,268
Except it's keeping me from you,
my dears, it isn't so bad.

1126
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:15,103
It's remarkably like any other place.

1127
01:36:15,195 --> 01:36:18,112
-lt drips!
-Yes. It's too near the river.

1128
01:36:30,001 --> 01:36:31,116
Well, what is it?

1129
01:36:33,588 --> 01:36:37,123
Father, come out!
Swear to the act and come out!

1130
01:36:39,344 --> 01:36:41,502
Is this why they've let you come?

1131
01:36:41,638 --> 01:36:42,669
Yes.

1132
01:36:45,392 --> 01:36:47,634
Meg's under oath to persuade you.

1133
01:36:49,312 --> 01:36:51,139
That was silly, Meg.

1134
01:36:59,489 --> 01:37:01,648
How do you plan to do that?

1135
01:37:03,702 --> 01:37:04,900
Father.

1136
01:37:05,537 --> 01:37:09,072
"God more regards the thoughts
of the heart than the words of the mouth."

1137
01:37:09,166 --> 01:37:11,538
-Well, so you've always told me.
-Yes.

1138
01:37:11,626 --> 01:37:14,793
Then say the words of the oath
and in your heart think otherwise.

1139
01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:18,130
What is an oath then,
but words we say to God?

1140
01:37:24,806 --> 01:37:26,087
Listen, Meg.

1141
01:37:26,892 --> 01:37:30,972
When a man takes an oath, he's holding
his own self in his own hands...

1142
01:37:31,271 --> 01:37:32,551
...Iike water.

1143
01:37:32,772 --> 01:37:37,814
And if he opens his fingers then,
he needn't hope to find himself again.

1144
01:37:39,029 --> 01:37:43,940
Some men aren't capable of this, but I'd be
loathed to think your father one of them.

1145
01:37:47,078 --> 01:37:49,451
-I have another argument.
-Oh, Meg.

1146
01:37:49,748 --> 01:37:54,908
In any state that was half good,
you would be raised up high, not here...

1147
01:37:55,086 --> 01:37:58,087
-...for what you've done already.
-All right.

1148
01:37:58,423 --> 01:38:01,044
It's not your fault
the state's three-quarters bad.

1149
01:38:01,134 --> 01:38:01,881
No.

1150
01:38:01,968 --> 01:38:04,590
If you elect to suffer for it,
you elect to be a hero.

1151
01:38:04,679 --> 01:38:06,222
That's very neat.

1152
01:38:06,723 --> 01:38:11,052
But look now. If we lived in a state
where virtue was profitable...

1153
01:38:11,394 --> 01:38:13,683
...common sense would make us saintly.

1154
01:38:13,772 --> 01:38:18,185
But since we see that avarice, anger,
pride and stupidity...

1155
01:38:18,443 --> 01:38:23,438
...commonly profit far beyond charity,
modesty, justice and thought...

1156
01:38:23,615 --> 01:38:26,188
...perhaps we must stand fast a little...

1157
01:38:26,368 --> 01:38:28,859
...even at the risk of being heroes.

1158
01:38:33,542 --> 01:38:34,952
But in reason!

1159
01:38:35,043 --> 01:38:38,494
Haven't you done as much
as God can reasonably want?

1160
01:38:43,260 --> 01:38:47,174
Well, finally it isn't a matter of reason.

1161
01:38:47,305 --> 01:38:49,677
Finally, it's a matter of love.

1162
01:38:52,936 --> 01:38:56,056
You're content then to be shut up here
with mice and rats...

1163
01:38:56,147 --> 01:38:58,436
-...when you might be home with us?
-Content?

1164
01:38:58,525 --> 01:39:03,732
If they'd open a crack that wide, I'd be
through it like a bird and back to Chelsea.

1165
01:39:08,368 --> 01:39:11,073
I haven't told you
what the house is like without you.

1166
01:39:11,163 --> 01:39:12,325
Don't, Meg.

1167
01:39:12,414 --> 01:39:15,664
-What we do in the evening without you.
-Meg, have done.

1168
01:39:15,750 --> 01:39:17,992
We don't read because we've no candles.

1169
01:39:18,211 --> 01:39:21,082
We don't talk because we wonder
what they're doing to you.

1170
01:39:21,173 --> 01:39:23,877
The King is more merciful.
He doesn't use the rack.

1171
01:39:23,967 --> 01:39:25,710
Two minutes to go, sir.

1172
01:39:25,802 --> 01:39:28,471
-I thought you'd like to know.
-Two minutes!

1173
01:39:29,097 --> 01:39:31,635
-Jailer!
-Sorry, sir. Two minutes.

1174
01:39:33,435 --> 01:39:37,349
Listen, you must leave the country.
All of you must leave the country.

1175
01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:39,431
-And leave you?
-lt makes no difference.

1176
01:39:39,524 --> 01:39:41,316
They won't let me see you again.

1177
01:39:41,401 --> 01:39:44,319
You must all go on the same day,
but not on the same boat.

1178
01:39:44,404 --> 01:39:47,738
-Different boats from different ports.
-After the trial, then.

1179
01:39:47,824 --> 01:39:50,398
There'll be no trial, they have no case.

1180
01:39:51,995 --> 01:39:53,988
Do this for me, I beseech you.

1181
01:39:54,122 --> 01:39:55,949
-Will?
-Yes, sir.

1182
01:39:56,041 --> 01:39:57,868
-Margaret?
-Yes.

1183
01:39:58,543 --> 01:39:59,574
Alice?

1184
01:40:05,550 --> 01:40:08,302
-Alice, I command you!
-Right.

1185
01:40:15,685 --> 01:40:17,678
This is splendid.

1186
01:40:18,396 --> 01:40:21,267
-I know who packed this.
-I packed it.

1187
01:40:21,358 --> 01:40:22,389
Yes.

1188
01:40:25,153 --> 01:40:27,727
You still make a superlative custard, Alice.

1189
01:40:27,823 --> 01:40:28,902
Do l?

1190
01:40:31,451 --> 01:40:33,776
That's a nice dress you have on.

1191
01:40:35,121 --> 01:40:36,865
Nice colour anyway.

1192
01:40:37,165 --> 01:40:39,288
My God, you think little of me!

1193
01:40:39,876 --> 01:40:40,825
I know I'm a fool...

1194
01:40:40,919 --> 01:40:44,169
...but I'm not such a fool
as to be lamenting for my dresses...

1195
01:40:44,256 --> 01:40:46,711
...or to relish complimenting
on my custards.

1196
01:40:46,883 --> 01:40:48,591
I'm well rebuked.

1197
01:40:49,970 --> 01:40:51,594
-Alice--
-No!

1198
01:40:54,766 --> 01:40:59,558
I'm sick with fear when I think of the worst
they may do to me.

1199
01:40:59,729 --> 01:41:04,854
But worse than that will be to go
with you not understanding why I go.

1200
01:41:04,943 --> 01:41:05,974
I don't.

1201
01:41:06,069 --> 01:41:11,229
If you can tell me that you understand,
I might make a good death, if I have to.

1202
01:41:11,324 --> 01:41:15,536
-Your death's no good to me.
-You must tell me that you understand.

1203
01:41:15,620 --> 01:41:16,783
I don't!

1204
01:41:17,164 --> 01:41:18,955
I don't believe this had to happen!

1205
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:21,282
If you say that
I don't see how I'm to face it.

1206
01:41:21,376 --> 01:41:22,704
It's the truth!

1207
01:41:23,128 --> 01:41:26,295
-You're an honest woman.
-Much good may it do me.

1208
01:41:27,090 --> 01:41:29,296
I'll tell you what I'm afraid of...

1209
01:41:29,384 --> 01:41:32,302
...that when you've gone,
I shall hate you for it.

1210
01:41:36,725 --> 01:41:38,433
You mustn't, Alice.

1211
01:41:41,938 --> 01:41:43,219
You mustn't.

1212
01:41:47,944 --> 01:41:52,274
As for understanding, I understand you're
the best man I ever met or ever likely to.

1213
01:41:52,741 --> 01:41:57,699
And if you go, God knows why I suppose,
though as God's my witness...

1214
01:41:57,787 --> 01:42:00,029
...God's kept deadly quiet about it.

1215
01:42:00,749 --> 01:42:04,793
And if any one wants to know
my opinion of the King and his Council...

1216
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:07,589
...he only has to ask for it!

1217
01:42:11,176 --> 01:42:14,509
Why, it's a lion I married.

1218
01:42:14,763 --> 01:42:16,554
A lion. A lion.

1219
01:42:22,479 --> 01:42:24,721
This is good.

1220
01:42:27,442 --> 01:42:28,817
It's very good.

1221
01:42:29,611 --> 01:42:31,319
Sorry, Sir Thomas!

1222
01:42:31,780 --> 01:42:33,938
-Oh, for pity's sake!
-Time's up, sir.

1223
01:42:34,032 --> 01:42:36,867
-But one more minute!
-You don't know what you're asking.

1224
01:42:36,952 --> 01:42:38,825
-Come along, Miss.
-For heaven's sake.

1225
01:42:38,912 --> 01:42:40,655
Now, don't do that, sir.

1226
01:42:43,583 --> 01:42:45,909
Now, madam, don't make trouble.

1227
01:42:48,839 --> 01:42:51,164
Come along, please, Lady Alice.

1228
01:42:55,053 --> 01:42:57,378
Take your muddy paws off me!

1229
01:42:57,931 --> 01:43:01,015
Filthy, stinking, gutter-fed, turnkey!

1230
01:43:01,768 --> 01:43:04,057
I'll see you suffer for this!

1231
01:43:05,313 --> 01:43:06,558
Goodbye.

1232
01:43:21,705 --> 01:43:24,077
You must understand my position, sir.

1233
01:43:24,416 --> 01:43:28,034
I'm a plain, simple man
and I just want to keep out of trouble.

1234
01:43:37,929 --> 01:43:42,556
Dear Lord Jesus, my soul Saviour,
clear my wits.

1235
01:43:43,894 --> 01:43:48,187
Dear Lady, Blessed Mother of God,
comfort my wife and daughter...

1236
01:43:49,149 --> 01:43:51,188
...and forgive me for them.

1237
01:44:55,674 --> 01:45:00,134
Sir Thomas More, though you have
heinously offended the King's majesty...

1238
01:45:00,220 --> 01:45:05,380
...we hope that if you'll even now
forethink and repent of obstinate opinion...

1239
01:45:05,809 --> 01:45:08,596
...you may still taste his gracious pardon.

1240
01:45:09,980 --> 01:45:11,853
My lords, I thank you.

1241
01:45:12,607 --> 01:45:15,098
As for the matters
you may charge me with...

1242
01:45:15,193 --> 01:45:18,977
...I fear from my present weakness,
that neither my wit...

1243
01:45:19,072 --> 01:45:21,314
...nor my memory will serve...

1244
01:45:21,950 --> 01:45:23,943
...to make sufficient answer.

1245
01:45:25,245 --> 01:45:27,534
I should be glad to sit down.

1246
01:45:27,706 --> 01:45:29,449
A chair for the prisoner.

1247
01:45:43,930 --> 01:45:46,172
Master Secretary Cromwell,
have you the charge?

1248
01:45:46,266 --> 01:45:48,674
-I have, my lord.
-Then read the charge.

1249
01:45:52,397 --> 01:45:55,683
"That you did wilfully and maliciously
deny and deprive...

1250
01:45:55,775 --> 01:45:59,607
"...our liege, Lord Henry,
of his undoubted certain title...

1251
01:45:59,863 --> 01:46:02,780
"...Supreme Head of the Church
in England."

1252
01:46:04,284 --> 01:46:07,570
But, I have never denied this title.

1253
01:46:09,956 --> 01:46:13,788
At Westminster Hall, at Lambeth,
and again at Richmond...

1254
01:46:13,919 --> 01:46:16,410
...you stubbornly refused the oath.

1255
01:46:16,588 --> 01:46:17,916
Was this no denial?

1256
01:46:18,006 --> 01:46:20,082
No, this was silence.

1257
01:46:20,425 --> 01:46:23,759
And for my silence,
I am punished with imprisonment.

1258
01:46:25,055 --> 01:46:29,266
-Why have I been called again?
-On a charge of high treason, Sir Thomas.

1259
01:46:30,060 --> 01:46:33,096
For which the punishment
is not imprisonment.

1260
01:46:33,522 --> 01:46:34,601
Death...

1261
01:46:35,148 --> 01:46:37,520
...comes for us all, my lords.

1262
01:46:37,818 --> 01:46:40,024
Yes, even for kings he comes.

1263
01:46:40,111 --> 01:46:43,196
The death of kings is not in question,
Sir Thomas.

1264
01:46:43,448 --> 01:46:46,485
Nor mine, I trust, until I'm proven guilty.

1265
01:46:46,618 --> 01:46:50,034
Your life lies in your own hands, Thomas,
as it always has!

1266
01:46:50,121 --> 01:46:51,948
Is that so, my lord?

1267
01:46:52,582 --> 01:46:54,326
Then I'll keep a good grip on it.

1268
01:47:01,299 --> 01:47:02,877
So, Sir Thomas...

1269
01:47:03,468 --> 01:47:05,508
...you stand on your silence?

1270
01:47:06,179 --> 01:47:07,342
I do.

1271
01:47:08,098 --> 01:47:10,174
But, gentlemen of the jury...

1272
01:47:10,976 --> 01:47:13,763
...there are many kinds of silence.

1273
01:47:14,229 --> 01:47:17,349
Consider first the silence of a man
when he is dead.

1274
01:47:17,691 --> 01:47:20,857
Suppose we go into the room
where he is laid out and we listen.

1275
01:47:20,944 --> 01:47:22,107
What do we hear?

1276
01:47:23,613 --> 01:47:24,894
Silence.

1277
01:47:25,365 --> 01:47:28,485
What does it betoken, this silence?

1278
01:47:29,077 --> 01:47:31,746
Nothing. This is silence pure and simple.

1279
01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:33,871
But let us take another case.

1280
01:47:33,957 --> 01:47:36,828
Suppose I were to take a dagger
from my sleeve...

1281
01:47:36,918 --> 01:47:38,911
...and make to kill the prisoner with it.

1282
01:47:39,004 --> 01:47:43,333
And my lordships there, instead of crying
out for me to stop, maintain their silence.

1283
01:47:43,425 --> 01:47:45,334
That would betoken!

1284
01:47:45,635 --> 01:47:48,969
It would betoken a willingness
that I should do it.

1285
01:47:49,181 --> 01:47:52,098
And under the law,
they would be guilty with me.

1286
01:47:53,059 --> 01:47:56,760
So silence can,
according to the circumstances...

1287
01:47:57,689 --> 01:47:58,804
...speak.

1288
01:47:59,482 --> 01:48:03,860
Let us consider now the circumstances
of the prisoner's silence.

1289
01:48:04,488 --> 01:48:08,271
The oath was put to loyal subjects
all over the country who all declared...

1290
01:48:08,366 --> 01:48:10,525
...His Grace's title to be just and good!

1291
01:48:10,619 --> 01:48:13,703
But when it came to the prisoner,
he refused!

1292
01:48:15,624 --> 01:48:17,949
He calls this "silence."

1293
01:48:19,127 --> 01:48:21,879
Yet, is there a man in this court....

1294
01:48:22,672 --> 01:48:25,626
Is there a man in this country...

1295
01:48:25,926 --> 01:48:30,173
...who does not know
Sir Thomas More's opinion of this title?

1296
01:48:32,849 --> 01:48:34,676
Yet, how can this be?

1297
01:48:35,060 --> 01:48:38,014
Because this silence betokened...

1298
01:48:38,522 --> 01:48:43,433
...nay, this silence was not silence at all,
but most eloquent denial!

1299
01:48:45,987 --> 01:48:47,232
Not so.

1300
01:48:49,157 --> 01:48:50,901
Not so, Master Secretary.

1301
01:48:53,703 --> 01:48:57,037
The maxim of the law is,
"Silence gives consent."

1302
01:48:57,123 --> 01:49:00,243
If, therefore, you wish to construe
what my silence betokened...

1303
01:49:00,335 --> 01:49:04,547
...you must construe that I consented,
not that I denied.

1304
01:49:05,841 --> 01:49:08,676
Is that in fact what the world
construes from it?

1305
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:12,046
Do you pretend that is what you wish
the world to construe from it?

1306
01:49:12,138 --> 01:49:15,424
The world must construe
according to its wits.

1307
01:49:15,600 --> 01:49:18,850
This court must construe
according to the law.

1308
01:49:28,405 --> 01:49:31,359
My lords, I wish to call Sir Richard Rich!

1309
01:49:33,034 --> 01:49:35,786
Richard Rich, come into court.

1310
01:49:36,079 --> 01:49:37,739
Richard Rich!

1311
01:49:59,060 --> 01:50:02,761
"l do swear the evidence I'll give
before the court shall be the truth...

1312
01:50:02,856 --> 01:50:05,228
"...the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth."

1313
01:50:05,317 --> 01:50:07,025
"So help me God," sir.

1314
01:50:07,444 --> 01:50:08,855
"So help me God."

1315
01:50:11,656 --> 01:50:15,405
Now Rich, on May 12,
you were at the Tower?

1316
01:50:15,702 --> 01:50:17,410
-I was.
-For what purpose?

1317
01:50:17,496 --> 01:50:19,784
I was sent to carry away
the prisoner's books.

1318
01:50:19,873 --> 01:50:22,115
-Did you talk with the prisoner?
-Yes.

1319
01:50:22,209 --> 01:50:24,960
Did you talk of the King's supremacy
of the Church?

1320
01:50:25,045 --> 01:50:26,076
Yes.

1321
01:50:26,379 --> 01:50:28,004
What did you say?

1322
01:50:28,673 --> 01:50:31,758
I said to him, "Supposing there were
an act of parliament...

1323
01:50:31,843 --> 01:50:34,513
"...to say that l, Richard Rich,
were to be king.

1324
01:50:34,596 --> 01:50:37,513
"Would not you, Master More,
take me for king?"

1325
01:50:37,724 --> 01:50:39,183
"That I would," he said.

1326
01:50:42,938 --> 01:50:45,226
"For then you would be king."

1327
01:50:47,651 --> 01:50:48,682
Yes?

1328
01:50:49,986 --> 01:50:53,486
Then he said,
"But I will put you a higher case.

1329
01:50:54,199 --> 01:50:59,193
"How, if there were an act of parliament,
to say that God should not be God?"

1330
01:50:59,579 --> 01:51:02,284
-This is true and then you said--
-Silence!

1331
01:51:02,916 --> 01:51:04,114
Continue.

1332
01:51:06,795 --> 01:51:10,662
But then I said,
"l will put you a middle case.

1333
01:51:11,174 --> 01:51:13,844
"Parliament has made our King
Head of the Church.

1334
01:51:13,927 --> 01:51:15,920
"Why will you not accept him?"

1335
01:51:19,349 --> 01:51:20,428
Well?

1336
01:51:23,854 --> 01:51:27,638
And then he said,
"Parliament had not the power to do it."

1337
01:51:29,401 --> 01:51:31,643
Repeat the prisoner's words.

1338
01:51:33,446 --> 01:51:34,526
He said:

1339
01:51:35,949 --> 01:51:38,440
"Parliament had not the competence."

1340
01:51:41,037 --> 01:51:42,911
Or words to that effect.

1341
01:51:43,206 --> 01:51:45,365
He denied the title!

1342
01:51:45,709 --> 01:51:47,037
He did.

1343
01:51:55,260 --> 01:52:00,171
In good faith, Rich,
I am sorrier for your perjury than my peril.

1344
01:52:00,307 --> 01:52:02,928
-Do you deny this?
-Yes!

1345
01:52:03,518 --> 01:52:06,768
You know if I were a man
who heeded not the taking of an oath...

1346
01:52:06,855 --> 01:52:08,314
...I need not be here.

1347
01:52:08,899 --> 01:52:11,390
Now, I will take an oath.

1348
01:52:13,236 --> 01:52:16,107
If what Master Rich has said is true...

1349
01:52:16,531 --> 01:52:20,481
...I pray I may never see God in the face.

1350
01:52:21,536 --> 01:52:25,237
Which I would not say, were it otherwise,
for anything on earth!

1351
01:52:25,373 --> 01:52:28,078
-That is not evidence.
-ls it probable....

1352
01:52:28,877 --> 01:52:33,455
Is it probable
that after so long a silence on this...

1353
01:52:33,548 --> 01:52:36,122
...the very point so urgently sought of me...

1354
01:52:36,218 --> 01:52:40,002
...I should open my mind
to such a man as that?

1355
01:52:41,598 --> 01:52:44,967
Sir Richard, do you wish
to modify your testimony?

1356
01:52:46,102 --> 01:52:47,217
No, my lord.

1357
01:52:47,312 --> 01:52:49,933
Is there anything you wish
to take away from it?

1358
01:52:50,023 --> 01:52:51,138
No, my lord.

1359
01:52:51,233 --> 01:52:53,106
Have you anything to add?

1360
01:52:53,401 --> 01:52:54,682
No, my lord.

1361
01:52:55,987 --> 01:52:59,237
-Have you, Sir Thomas?
-To what purpose?

1362
01:53:03,203 --> 01:53:04,863
I am a dead man.

1363
01:53:08,583 --> 01:53:10,492
You have your will of me.

1364
01:53:11,628 --> 01:53:13,953
Then the witness may withdraw.

1365
01:53:21,304 --> 01:53:24,508
There is one question
I would like to ask the witness.

1366
01:53:27,060 --> 01:53:30,263
That's a chain of office you're wearing.
May I see it?

1367
01:53:38,321 --> 01:53:39,697
The Red Dragon.

1368
01:53:40,031 --> 01:53:41,229
What's this?

1369
01:53:41,324 --> 01:53:44,444
Sir Richard is appointed
Attorney General for Wales.

1370
01:53:44,661 --> 01:53:45,989
For Wales.

1371
01:53:47,539 --> 01:53:52,699
Why Richard, it profits a man nothing
to give his soul for the whole world.

1372
01:53:54,588 --> 01:53:56,082
But for Wales.

1373
01:54:04,472 --> 01:54:05,967
My lords! I've done.

1374
01:54:07,058 --> 01:54:09,680
The jury will retire
and consider the evidence.

1375
01:54:11,771 --> 01:54:16,350
Considering the evidence, it shouldn't
be necessary for them to retire.

1376
01:54:18,862 --> 01:54:20,522
Is it necessary?

1377
01:54:27,329 --> 01:54:30,080
Then is the prisoner guilty or not guilty?

1378
01:54:35,253 --> 01:54:36,913
Guilty, my lord!

1379
01:54:47,432 --> 01:54:51,216
Sir Thomas More,
you have been found guilty of high treason.

1380
01:54:51,353 --> 01:54:53,808
-The sentence of the court--
-My lords!

1381
01:54:54,606 --> 01:54:58,556
When I was practising the law,
the manner was to ask the prisoner...

1382
01:54:58,693 --> 01:55:02,608
...before pronouncing sentence,
if he had anything to say.

1383
01:55:02,989 --> 01:55:04,781
Have you anything to say?

1384
01:55:05,450 --> 01:55:06,481
Yes.

1385
01:55:17,629 --> 01:55:20,713
Since the court has determined
to condemn me...

1386
01:55:21,842 --> 01:55:23,585
...God knoweth how...

1387
01:55:24,678 --> 01:55:27,963
...I will now discharge my mind...

1388
01:55:28,557 --> 01:55:32,886
...concerning the indictment
and the King's title.

1389
01:55:36,439 --> 01:55:40,936
The indictment is grounded
in an act of parliament...

1390
01:55:41,319 --> 01:55:44,154
...which is directly repugnant...

1391
01:55:44,239 --> 01:55:47,904
...to the law of God and His Holy Church.

1392
01:55:48,076 --> 01:55:52,323
The supreme government of which
no temperable person...

1393
01:55:52,414 --> 01:55:56,577
...may by any law
presume to take upon him.

1394
01:55:57,460 --> 01:55:59,168
This was granted...

1395
01:55:59,921 --> 01:56:01,415
...by the mouth...

1396
01:56:02,174 --> 01:56:04,711
...of our Saviour, Christ Himself...

1397
01:56:05,594 --> 01:56:10,137
...to St. Peter and the bishops of Rome
whilst He lived...

1398
01:56:10,849 --> 01:56:14,134
...and was personally present...

1399
01:56:16,563 --> 01:56:18,187
...here on earth.

1400
01:56:20,442 --> 01:56:24,274
It is therefore insufficient in law...

1401
01:56:24,905 --> 01:56:27,859
...to charge any Christian to obey it.

1402
01:56:29,326 --> 01:56:30,820
And more than this...

1403
01:56:30,911 --> 01:56:35,738
...the immunity of the Church is promised
both in Magna Carta...

1404
01:56:35,874 --> 01:56:39,457
...and in the King's own coronation oath.

1405
01:56:41,296 --> 01:56:43,917
Now, we plainly see you are malicious!

1406
01:56:44,424 --> 01:56:45,669
Not so.

1407
01:56:48,094 --> 01:56:50,170
I am the King's true subject...

1408
01:56:51,056 --> 01:56:54,674
...and I pray for him and all the realm.

1409
01:56:56,478 --> 01:56:58,055
I do none harm.

1410
01:56:59,231 --> 01:57:01,104
I say none harm.

1411
01:57:02,108 --> 01:57:04,397
I think none harm.

1412
01:57:06,488 --> 01:57:09,524
And if this be not enough
to keep a man alive...

1413
01:57:09,950 --> 01:57:13,532
...then in good faith, I long not to live.

1414
01:57:15,622 --> 01:57:16,902
Nevertheless...

1415
01:57:17,874 --> 01:57:22,453
...it is not for the supremacy
that you have sought my blood...

1416
01:57:22,546 --> 01:57:26,757
...but because I would not bend
to the marriage!

1417
01:57:35,183 --> 01:57:38,303
You have been found guilty of high treason.

1418
01:57:39,145 --> 01:57:42,182
The sentence of the court
is that you be taken...

1419
01:57:42,315 --> 01:57:44,225
...to the Tower of London...

1420
01:57:46,361 --> 01:57:49,695
...until the day hence to the appointment...

1421
01:57:50,699 --> 01:57:52,775
...for your execution!

1422
01:58:08,383 --> 01:58:11,633
I am commanded by the King to be brief...

1423
01:58:12,387 --> 01:58:15,305
...and since I am
the King's obedient subject...

1424
01:58:15,849 --> 01:58:17,391
...brief I will be.

1425
01:58:18,894 --> 01:58:22,144
I die His Majesty's good servant...

1426
01:58:23,148 --> 01:58:24,725
...but God's first.

1427
01:58:31,573 --> 01:58:33,862
I forgive you, right readily.

1428
01:58:39,915 --> 01:58:42,203
Be not afraid of your office.

1429
01:58:42,626 --> 01:58:44,334
You send me to God.

1430
01:58:46,796 --> 01:58:48,754
You're very sure of that, Sir Thomas?

1431
01:58:48,840 --> 01:58:52,174
He will not refuse one who is so blithe
to go to him.

1432
01:59:14,950 --> 01:59:18,401
Thomas More's head was stuck
on Traitor's Gate for a month.

1433
01:59:18,495 --> 01:59:22,362
Then his daughter, Margaret,
removed it and kept it 'til her death.

1434
01:59:23,166 --> 01:59:27,081
Cromwell was beheaded for high treason
five years after More.

1435
01:59:27,587 --> 01:59:30,257
The Archbishop was burned at the stake.

1436
01:59:30,882 --> 01:59:34,049
The Duke of Norfolk should have
been executed for high treason...

1437
01:59:34,135 --> 01:59:37,136
...but the King died of syphilis
the night before.

1438
01:59:38,098 --> 01:59:41,015
Richard Rich became
Chancellor of England...

1439
01:59:41,643 --> 01:59:43,470
...and died in his bed.
