00:02:41Here comes Lester.
00:02:43Shall I try?
00:02:45My Lord Lester.
00:02:46Later.
00:02:47May I now present my friend, Hillary Vane.
00:02:50Later.
00:02:54Later, my Lord, may be too late.
00:02:59Mistress Cynthia, what have you lost?
00:03:01A pearl from the Queen's dress.
00:03:03Not here.
00:03:04I heard the Queen owned 3,000 dresses.
00:03:06Yes, sir, but she wants to wear the dress with the pearls.
00:03:09I say again, my Lord Treasurer, that we neglect the Queen's safety.
00:03:12There are plotters abroad.
00:03:14Why, even now, as I came down the gallery,
00:03:16I saw faces better viewed behind prison bars.
00:03:19Spare the sprat and catch the whale.
00:03:24Your pardon, Grandfather.
00:03:25Your pardon, my Lord.
00:03:26The Earl of Leicester and I are in private converse, Cynthia.
00:03:30What is the matter?
00:03:31The Queen's killed us all because the Spanish ambassadors kept waiting,
00:03:34yet there she stands in her petticoat and will only wear the French dress.
00:03:37Well, why not let her wear the French dress, Mistress Cynthia?
00:03:39A pearl is lost from the back.
00:03:41From the back?
00:03:42Well, she won't miss it.
00:03:43No, my Lord, she has eyes in the back of her head.
00:03:45Here.
00:03:46Take it and be off.
00:03:50Everybody should always come to you first.
00:03:52I wish everybody thought so.
00:03:58If Drake had thought of coming to you first,
00:04:00should we be rejoicing at the good news?
00:04:02You cannot mean Drake's raid on Cadiz.
00:04:04I do mean Drake's raid on Cadiz.
00:04:06My Lord Leicester, see, here lies England,
00:04:11but half an island, not 300 miles long, nor 200 miles broad.
00:04:17How small we are.
00:04:19How wretched and defenseless.
00:04:23Now turn to Spain.
00:04:25In the old world and the new.
00:04:29In the old, power.
00:04:32In the new, gold.
00:04:34Philip could build ten such fleets as Drake burned and never feel the cost.
00:04:40But if Spain sails across the bay to us and burns our shipping,
00:04:46how should we make it good?
00:04:48You are the Lord Treasurer of England.
00:04:50My treasury is empty.
00:04:53My Lords, the Queen is entering the throne room.
00:04:57My Lord, I lean only on my friend.
00:05:00My Lord.
00:05:10♪
00:05:41Your Majesty breaks faith with Spain.
00:05:43Ambassador, you forget yourself.
00:05:45My Lord Leicester, it is you who forget yourself.
00:05:47The Spanish ambassador is our guest.
00:05:49Your Grace, we speak for England.
00:05:51Indeed, Your Grace, we do.
00:05:53Who dares to speak for England in my presence?
00:05:56Answer, my Lord Leicester, to you.
00:05:59And you, my wise Burleigh, to you.
00:06:03Be silent then whilst I speak for you all.
00:06:07For I am England.
00:06:10And I am the voice of Spain.
00:06:14Continue, voice of Spain.
00:06:17My master, His Majesty King Philip.
00:06:19He introduces me to my own brother-in-law.
00:06:22Reassure your master.
00:06:24My sister Mary, the late Queen, was his loving wife,
00:06:27and for her sake I am his loving sister.
00:06:30His portrait still hangs in a place of honour.
00:06:33My king does not ask Your Grace to hang his picture,
00:06:36but to hang his enemies.
00:06:38In the last month, English pirates have destroyed
00:06:41some 7,000 tons of our shipping.
00:06:44Names?
00:06:45What do I know of their names?
00:06:47They come and go like wasps,
00:06:49led always by the arch-pirate El Draco.
00:06:55Sir Francis Drake sailed round the world,
00:06:57and I knighted him for it.
00:06:59Now he harries Spain, and I am to hang him for it.
00:07:02No.
00:07:04If I hang Drake tomorrow,
00:07:0520 other Drakes would take his place.
00:07:07How can I hold them back
00:07:08when your king flings my honest merchants
00:07:10to the Inquisition to be burned alive?
00:07:12Your Grace can at least forbid them to leave England.
00:07:15England is a large island with many ports in it.
00:07:18I will not sit at each in turn like a cat at a mouse hole,
00:07:21but I give Spain free leave to punish
00:07:23my Drake and his captains if Spain can.
00:07:26Majesty.
00:07:27I say, my lords, if Spain can.
00:07:31If Your Majesty will not hear words,
00:07:33we must come to Canaan and see if you will hear them.
00:07:39If you use threats of that kind,
00:07:41I will chase you out of my kingdom.
00:07:45But, Your Grace, you must listen.
00:07:47Must?
00:07:49Little man, little man.
00:07:52Must is not a word to use to princes.
00:07:56Our council shall confer with you.
00:07:58Meanwhile, go home and be quiet.
00:08:15I have been too bold.
00:08:16Boldness is needed.
00:08:18If once the Spaniards think that we are afraid...
00:08:20Invasion.
00:08:22Night and day it drums in my ears,
00:08:24invasion, invasion, invasion.
00:08:26Invasion, invasion.
00:08:28I am afraid.
00:08:30So that is why you disavowed Drake.
00:08:33Disavow, you call it.
00:08:35That gentleman cares not if I should disavow him.
00:08:38It was privately agreed between us.
00:08:43I was not told.
00:08:45Must I tell you everything, jealous Robin?
00:08:47When we were children, I served you.
00:08:50When the Queen, your sister, sent you to the Tower...
00:08:52The Prince Philip of Spain.
00:08:53Still I served you and was trusted.
00:08:55Today, though I serve and love,
00:08:58I am not trusted.
00:09:01Do not deceive yourself.
00:09:04I know you love me and would risk your life for me.
00:09:07But these men risk more than their mere lives.
00:09:09Once they are caught, I cannot help them and they know it.
00:09:12Once they are caught, it is death by fire.
00:09:16But that does not stop them from dying for me.
00:09:20They still cry,
00:09:22Save the Queen.
00:09:42Yes.
00:09:43Philip, the King of Spain is here for you.
00:09:47Come on, lad.
00:09:48Die for Spain. Come on.
00:09:50Die for Spain.
00:09:57Die for Spain.
00:10:20♪♪
00:10:30♪♪
00:10:40♪♪
00:10:53Richard Ingleby.
00:10:56Richard.
00:10:57Me.
00:10:58Father, he knows you.
00:10:59We were friends once.
00:11:01Enemies now!
00:11:03♪♪
00:11:11♪♪
00:11:36I wish we had never met.
00:11:38Why, sir?
00:11:40Because you've beaten us.
00:11:42But as long as we're your prisoners, sir, it's a sort of holiday.
00:11:45That's right, dear lad.
00:11:47We are safe enough.
00:11:49♪♪
00:11:58Amigo, is it not possible to spare the boy?
00:12:03I can do nothing.
00:12:04It's each for himself, sink or swim.
00:12:08Richard, you hear me?
00:12:11Sink or swim.
00:12:14♪♪
00:12:24Michael.
00:12:25Sir.
00:12:29You're the Queen's servant.
00:12:31Yes, of course, sir.
00:12:33I'm now going to give you her orders.
00:12:37You climb up on the rail.
00:12:39Dive, swim for shore.
00:12:42When you're on land, make for the home of Don Meagle.
00:12:45He will help you if he can.
00:12:47Leave you here. I'd rather die.
00:12:49I have friends in Spain.
00:12:51I'm safe enough.
00:12:53Once you're in England, go to the Queen.
00:12:56♪♪
00:12:58I will not leave you.
00:13:00Obey me, Michael.
00:13:02Obey me, Michael.
00:13:04♪♪
00:13:32In the name of the Inquisition.
00:13:36♪♪
00:13:46♪♪
00:14:08Father!
00:14:10♪♪
00:14:16Doña Elena.
00:14:17Father's come home.
00:14:18But you cannot go downstairs in your night gear.
00:14:21♪♪
00:14:27Alice.
00:14:28Ah, poor child.
00:14:29She had an English nurse and she's never got over it.
00:14:31A mannerless woman who opened all the windows.
00:14:34Father!
00:14:36Elena.
00:14:38I said you'd never get ashore tonight.
00:14:42Admiral.
00:14:44Doña Elena, you must come back to your room at once.
00:14:47Please tell the servants to prepare a meal for me.
00:14:49But first, Doña Elena must retire.
00:14:51I'm not going back to bed yet.
00:14:53What did I hear you say?
00:14:54I'm not going back to bed yet.
00:14:56I want to hear about the fight.
00:14:58Let her remain, Señora.
00:15:00If you say so, Admiral. You're her father.
00:15:02But for the future, Señorita, remember this.
00:15:05A Spanish lady may retire, but she never goes to bed.
00:15:17Listen to me, Elena.
00:15:18You're not a child anymore.
00:15:20A child?
00:15:21When I'm going to be married in three months?
00:15:26The captain of the English vessel is Richard Ingleby.
00:15:31A friend.
00:15:33A friend from long ago in England.
00:15:35A friend from long ago.
00:15:38My best friend.
00:15:40And I have handed him over to the military authorities,
00:15:42and they will hand him over to the Inquisition.
00:15:44And you know what that will mean.
00:15:46Father.
00:15:48But he has an only son, Elena.
00:15:50I have reported him drowned.
00:15:52But I do not think that he is drowned.
00:15:54I think that he will reach the shore and come to us for help.
00:15:58What is he like? Fair or dark?
00:16:01He is not a Spaniard, and he speaks Spanish.
00:16:04So if he does come...
00:16:06But we must not help the heretic.
00:16:09Besides, father, the danger.
00:16:10But nobody will know.
00:16:11But they will.
00:16:13I can give work to a beggar if I choose.
00:16:15He is only a boy, Elena.
00:16:17But an enemy of Spain.
00:16:29What is it?
00:16:31There is someone outside.
00:16:52Is this the English heretic?
00:16:54Elena.
00:17:01Oh, boy.
00:17:13The queen sends to her spirit...
00:17:15Why does she always call you spirit, grandfather?
00:17:18Continue.
00:17:19A letter from her desk, a cordial from her cupboard,
00:17:22and a message from her heart.
00:17:24Repeat the message.
00:17:25She says, I entreat heaven daily for your longer life,
00:17:28or I and my people will be in need of cordials too.
00:17:31She is my cordial.
00:17:33It is vinegar to the rest of us.
00:17:35She gave me a cup this morning.
00:17:37No doubt you earned it.
00:17:39I was only humming a tune.
00:17:45Michael's tune.
00:17:49But she ordered me off to you with those letters,
00:17:51and I was not to come back until you had read them.
00:17:54Will you hear a Spanish lady
00:17:59How she wooed an Englishman
00:18:03Garments gave which was maybe she had on
00:18:08Comely was her countenance
00:18:12Oh, sir. Does your gout trouble you, sir?
00:18:18Sir Richard Ingleby has been captured by the Spaniards.
00:18:22He is held by the Inquisition.
00:18:26And Michael?
00:18:27There is no word here of Michael.
00:18:36Will you hear a Spanish lady
00:18:40How she wooed an Englishman
00:18:45I said you could not do it.
00:18:47Now listen.
00:18:49Now listen.
00:18:50Will you hear a Spanish lady
00:18:54How she wooed an Englishman
00:18:57Garments gave which was maybe she had on
00:19:01Comely was her countenance
00:19:05High was her degree
00:19:08Smiling, sighing, full of grace was she
00:19:14Will you hear a Spanish lady
00:19:18How she wooed an Englishman
00:19:22How a gentle Spanish lady
00:19:26Loved an Englishman
00:19:36Why do you want a fire?
00:19:37I'm cooking.
00:19:38What?
00:19:39A treat for you.
00:19:41What is it?
00:19:42They call it a potato.
00:19:45It's a kind of fruit.
00:19:46It's very rare.
00:19:49Is it safe to eat?
00:19:51Fathers eat one.
00:19:53He says he never felt better in his life.
00:19:55You bake them.
00:19:57It takes an hour.
00:19:58I'm glad it takes an hour.
00:20:00I never see you nowadays.
00:20:02Well, I'm very busy.
00:20:04You forget I'm going to be married.
00:20:06Besides, the only thing of getting home to you is Cynthia.
00:20:12I expect she's married by now.
00:20:16She won't be.
00:20:18How do you know?
00:20:20I know.
00:20:27What are you staring at?
00:20:30It's over Lisbon.
00:20:32What is?
00:20:33The smoke, look.
00:20:40It's so thick you can hardly see the roof.
00:20:47It's just smoke.
00:21:06Michael.
00:21:08The shoulders healed at last, eh?
00:21:10Yes, thanks to you, sir.
00:21:12Thanks to Elena.
00:21:14I gave you the hurt, she mended it.
00:21:17Michael, I am to hurt you again.
00:21:20And this wound will not heal so quickly.
00:21:23Sir?
00:21:25I have a message from your father.
00:21:27At last, where is he?
00:21:29Where is he?
00:21:31His last words to me were,
00:21:33It isn't our quarrel.
00:21:35It isn't the Queen's quarrel.
00:21:37It's a war of ideas.
00:21:39The boy will understand that one day.
00:21:42The boy will understand that one day.
00:21:45Tell him you can't burn ideas.
00:21:49But when did he say this to you?
00:21:51On my ship, the night you escaped.
00:21:53Then you have not seen him since.
00:21:55I saw him today.
00:21:57What did he say to you?
00:21:59He was gagged.
00:22:05Why?
00:22:06Did you not see the smoke, Michael,
00:22:08blow in from Lisbon Marketplace?
00:22:12Smoke?
00:22:14An execution.
00:22:23My poor boy.
00:22:24Keep away from me!
00:22:26You Spanish devil!
00:22:28Michael!
00:22:30And you knew too.
00:22:32You let me talk and laugh.
00:22:34While my father...
00:22:36Michael!
00:22:37Keep away from me!
00:22:40If only you knew how I loathed you all.
00:22:42Your Spanish faces, your Spanish voices.
00:22:45And you've fed me, haven't you?
00:22:47And you've clothed me.
00:22:48You've made me your household pet,
00:22:50but you've burned my father.
00:22:52And I have to be grateful to you.
00:22:54Grateful!
00:22:56Michael, how dare you?
00:22:57You do know that you were...
00:22:58Everyone shall know it!
00:23:00I'm going now to face all my father's face.
00:23:02But I haven't finished his message.
00:23:04He said my son will hardly forgive me for deceiving him.
00:23:07He'll never forgive you.
00:23:09When his thirst creeps over, tell him...
00:23:11I cannot bear anymore!
00:23:19Leave him alone.
00:23:21It's all you can do for him.
00:23:26We now come to the scandalous business of Drake's latest capture.
00:23:29Scandalous?
00:23:30I quote the Spanish ambassador,
00:23:32and I confess he may well complain.
00:23:35When the Spaniards of the New World sent home the St. Philip,
00:23:38and the St. Philip, my lords,
00:23:40is the greatest treasure ship the old world ever saw,
00:23:43Drake captures ship and treasure
00:23:47and tows all home to Plymouth.
00:23:50Scandalous indeed.
00:23:53And now I have to report
00:23:55that the St. Philip has fetched in open market
00:23:58114,000 pounds.
00:24:01Of which the crown takes 40,000.
00:24:0350.
00:24:05Write down 50,000.
00:24:07Your Majesty intends to accept this money?
00:24:09It should be more.
00:24:11Well, so long as the crew gets its share.
00:24:1660,000.
00:24:17Your Majesty then returns the money to Spain.
00:24:21Return?
00:24:22We are not yet at war with Spain,
00:24:25but we shall be if we do not return this plunder.
00:24:28If Drake had not seized the St. Philip,
00:24:30the armada would have sailed by now.
00:24:32But it has not sailed, my lord,
00:24:34and we are at peace with Spain.
00:24:36Either we disown the capture of the St. Philip or...
00:24:39Or?
00:24:40Your Majesty returns the money
00:24:42and hangs our good Sir Francis.
00:24:45Her grace shall not so humble herself.
00:24:47My lords, let us face facts.
00:24:49Why is the armada being built?
00:24:51To invade England.
00:24:52But if we strike now...
00:24:54I strike or be struck.
00:24:55If we strike first...
00:24:57We cannot strike.
00:24:58We have no fleet.
00:24:59Barely you croak like an old raven.
00:25:02You and I have kept the peace 30 years.
00:25:04Who now teaches you to croak war?
00:25:11A young raven, new loose from the Spanish ark.
00:25:24Well, young raven,
00:25:27you have not preened your feathers.
00:25:29He has sailed from Lisbon, Your Grace,
00:25:31in a fishing boat, single-handed.
00:25:34What is your name?
00:25:36Michael Ingold.
00:25:37Where is my ship and where is your father?
00:25:40Both lost, Your Grace.
00:25:42How lost?
00:25:47By fire.
00:25:49Boy, your father was ever ready to love me and serve me.
00:25:55I am in grief for your loss.
00:25:58And for mine.
00:26:02Gentlemen, give us leave for a little.
00:26:06Come.
00:26:18Madam, in Spain they herd souls as we herd cattle.
00:26:22All men must be of one pattern and one blood.
00:26:25Spain is the prison of all freedom.
00:26:27Spain is horror.
00:26:29Spain is...
00:26:30Shh!
00:26:31But who will listen if you do not?
00:26:33You are the world's hope. My father said so.
00:26:36His last word to me was, tell the Queen.
00:26:39Tell the Queen, Michael.
00:26:41How can I?
00:26:43I thought I could once in Spain.
00:26:46I thought if I had but the chance,
00:26:49but home again,
00:26:53I cannot.
00:26:55How can you, Queen, here in free England,
00:26:58understand the danger?
00:27:00Tell me, Michael, how big is their armada?
00:27:03I could never learn the numbers.
00:27:05How many troops?
00:27:07No one knows.
00:27:08Their armada will consist of 132 ships.
00:27:11It will carry 20,000 sailors besides guns.
00:27:16Your grace has made a fool of me.
00:27:18Blame nature, lad, not me.
00:27:21Will your grace give me leave to go?
00:27:26If you cannot endure to be laughed at, boy,
00:27:29how shall you endure a harder service?
00:27:40Do you no longer wish to serve me?
00:27:44Tell me how.
00:27:46Well, first change your coat.
00:27:49It stinks of fish.
00:28:01Thus we learn.
00:28:06Michael!
00:28:10Michael!
00:28:13Michael!
00:28:17Sweetheart!
00:28:18My dearest.
00:28:20My darling.
00:28:23Mistress!
00:28:25This is my palace, not your private parlor.
00:28:28Lord Lester died today.
00:28:30Change my dress and my jewels now.
00:28:35I'll come back.
00:28:44A wrong shoe.
00:28:50A wrong foot, weary of Fortescue.
00:28:52In my head, madam.
00:28:54Crooked answers, crooked answers.
00:28:56Yes, madam.
00:28:57To cross questions.
00:29:04My wig.
00:29:06My wig.
00:29:37Your grace.
00:29:39Do you like what you see in the glass?
00:29:42Aye, madam.
00:29:44How old are you?
00:29:46Eighteen.
00:29:48When I was eighteen, I was a prisoner in the Tower.
00:29:55Fetch me the Earl of Leicester.
00:30:03And do not loiter.
00:30:07This mirror is old and blemished.
00:30:09Shall I fetch another, your grace?
00:30:11No, I know what you think.
00:30:13I think nothing, madam.
00:30:15You do, you do.
00:30:17You know that the Queen's face is blemished, not the mirror.
00:30:22Well, fetch me my disguises.
00:30:31I had forgotten.
00:30:33Me?
00:30:35That you were so beautiful.
00:30:38I too had forgotten.
00:30:40Me?
00:30:42That you were so tall.
00:30:45Such hollow cheeks.
00:30:47So haunted.
00:30:53Spain is a land of ghosts.
00:31:02This is home.
00:31:06Home, Michael.
00:31:18Who gave the wench leave to mount my throne?
00:31:21And where is the Earl of Leicester?
00:31:24Madam, I forgot.
00:31:25Forgot?
00:31:27The state waits while a flaunting flibbertigibbet sits in the Queen's seat and lets an impotent boy flatter her?
00:31:32Am I to wait your letters?
00:31:34Your grace rates me till I do not know whether I'm on my head or my heels.
00:31:37You do not know.
00:31:39Your grace, it was all my doing.
00:31:41Do not cry, Cynthia.
00:31:42Leave the girl alone.
00:31:44I'll teach you two to know me better.
00:31:46You kept me waiting on your pleasures, now you shall wait upon mine.
00:31:48Go!
00:31:53Your grace.
00:31:54Go and be hanged!
00:32:04Go!
00:32:14Your dear majesty has frightened two babes out of their little wits.
00:32:17The girl is a minx.
00:32:19But he...
00:32:21He's such a tall lad.
00:32:24As you were, Robin, when all the world was young.
00:32:27Mercy, dear.
00:32:28Nay, my lord, springtime is over.
00:32:31What is your autumn wish?
00:32:33A signature.
00:32:34I had less tame wishes once.
00:32:37They were never granted.
00:32:40And now you only wish for my sixty thousand pounds to spend on Burleigh's fleet.
00:32:44Sign, most dear majesty, and you are safe against Spain.
00:32:47But see here, Robin.
00:32:49I have written out for me another paper returning the man to Philip.
00:32:52Without consulting the council?
00:32:54The council.
00:32:56But the boy's talk shook me.
00:32:59He is a handsome youth.
00:33:02You do well to be jealous.
00:33:05He is stronger than you.
00:33:07You are today.
00:33:10He is tomorrow.
00:33:16Lord Amelie writes that you wish for a license to travel.
00:33:20Why?
00:33:21To see the world, my lord.
00:33:23What part of the world?
00:33:24Paris? Rome? Madrid?
00:33:27Why should I go to Madrid, shall I tell you?
00:33:30I should be glad to hear.
00:33:32To give the king of Spain news of his English friends.
00:33:36Why, Mr. Vane, you have no colour in your face, have you been ill?
00:33:40That's why my doctor recommends travel.
00:33:43Mr. Vane, that is not the reason.
00:33:45We know because we have read them that letters pass between you and certain Spaniards.
00:33:50There was no harm.
00:33:51Why should the king of Spain invite you to Madrid?
00:33:54Tell me why, and I will myself beg the queen to grant your license.
00:33:59The queen would be merciful to a man who confessed his follies and those of his friends.
00:34:07Come, be open with me.
00:34:09I will not cheat you.
00:34:11I have nothing to confess.
00:34:13I do not understand your lordship.
00:34:16Your application will be considered.
00:34:20Goodbye, Mr. Vane.
00:34:22Good day, my lord.
00:34:30Did you know that gentleman?
00:34:32Mr. Vane?
00:34:33Mr. Hilary Vane.
00:34:34It is very likely that he will try to leave the country.
00:34:37Your business is to prevent him.
00:34:39By force?
00:34:40If need be.
00:34:41But at all costs, he is to be taken alive.
00:34:49The French ambassador has arrived, my lord.
00:34:51Has the queen returned from hunting?
00:34:53Not yet.
00:34:54It's late.
00:35:00Has she read my petition to rejoin the fleet?
00:35:04Do you think she will let me go?
00:35:07Why not?
00:35:09Because she likes you.
00:35:13Did you speak for me?
00:35:14I didn't dare.
00:35:15She still darts with me.
00:35:17Why?
00:35:19Because she likes you.
00:35:29THE END
00:35:59THE END
00:36:30You!
00:36:31At least you have learned not to loiter.
00:36:34Fools, can't you see that it's a woman?
00:36:37Who set you on to killing me?
00:36:39Which queen are you?
00:36:40There is but one queen, woman.
00:36:42There were once two cousins.
00:36:44The queen of England and the queen of Scots.
00:36:47The English queen put my queen of Scots to death.
00:36:51Now I have no queen to serve.
00:36:54Now I have no queen to serve.
00:36:59She is crazed or she would not dare.
00:37:02Give me the pistol.
00:37:07Unload.
00:37:10Let her go.
00:37:11They must stone me.
00:37:12Where are your friends?
00:37:14In France.
00:37:16You should be given safe conduct and money to take you there.
00:37:20Take her in your charge.
00:37:22Be content.
00:37:23No harm has come to me.
00:37:26You're all.
00:37:54Alive.
00:37:56Unhurt.
00:37:58Oh, most dear.
00:38:00Let me sit down.
00:38:06Oh, Robin.
00:38:07Her sin rose up at me crying Mary of Scotland.
00:38:10No sin of yours. Her life was forfeited.
00:38:12I could have saved her but I let her perish.
00:38:16Well, I pay for it.
00:38:18Five times, Robin, I have stood to be shot at.
00:38:21Yet still I live.
00:38:25Thank God your majesty is safe.
00:38:27Your gout, I will not have you kneel.
00:38:29We use you not for your bad legs but for your good head.
00:38:32A chair.
00:38:37The king of France will rejoice at your grace's most happy escape.
00:38:44My master also will rejoice that your grace's life was not in danger.
00:38:48Not in danger?
00:38:49The pistol was not loaded.
00:38:51But your grace's alarm is natural.
00:38:53A woman's fears.
00:38:55Four years ago the noble prince of Orange was shot dead on his own doorstep.
00:39:00And I...
00:39:02I know of loaded pistols.
00:39:04And so your grace does he.
00:39:06Your majesty.
00:39:08Boy, be silent.
00:39:09Your grace, this Spaniard plots against you.
00:39:11Slander.
00:39:12Slander? Then your own people slander you.
00:39:14In Spain it is common talk that England is full of traitors whom you have sworn to service.
00:39:17What service?
00:39:18Why, to kill the queen.
00:39:19Names?
00:39:20How could I learn names?
00:39:22But one day, your grace, the pistol will be loaded.
00:39:24And as the shot echoes across the sea to Spain, the armada will sail.
00:39:28And then there will be fire over England.
00:39:30Flames, torments.
00:39:31He is beside him.
00:39:32I know it.
00:39:33Then you are a fool and a hothead.
00:39:34Avoid my presence.
00:39:35Enough burning.
00:39:45You must forgive him, your excellency.
00:39:48His father's ashes have blown into his eyes and blinded him.
00:40:15You'd better get away as soon as you can.
00:40:22Mr. Bane, you're under arrest.
00:40:28You'll never take me alive!
00:40:35Well, what are you going to do?
00:40:38Why should I tell you?
00:40:40So that you can prevent me?
00:40:41I would rather have helped you.
00:40:43How the old love telling us what to do.
00:40:45I'm very tired.
00:40:46In a few years, I shall be asleep forever.
00:40:49Why should I care what you young people do?
00:40:52Then why do you thwart and hamper us?
00:40:54I am an upper servant in an old house.
00:40:57So is the queen.
00:40:59So is Leicester.
00:41:01We have spent our lives dusting, polishing.
00:41:05Dull work.
00:41:06But we have learned to take a pride in the house.
00:41:10And our task in our old age is to train the new servants.
00:41:15The house boys.
00:41:16The kitchen maids.
00:41:18Who one day will take our places.
00:41:22I wonder why we do it.
00:41:25We get no thanks.
00:41:27My lord, I did not intend...
00:41:28I cannot teach you to be a hero.
00:41:30I am only a servant myself.
00:41:33And service is too tame for you.
00:41:36Pity.
00:41:37My lord...
00:41:38My lord.
00:41:39Oh, go away.
00:41:40My lord.
00:41:41Oh, chatter somewhere else.
00:41:45Sir.
00:41:46Grandfather.
00:41:47The queen is asking for you.
00:41:48You ought to come quickly and quicker still.
00:41:51Will you take my arm, sir?
00:41:53I can still totter.
00:41:55Their grandchild is the man who requires your support.
00:42:05You give orders.
00:42:06You give orders.
00:42:07You decide who shall be taken and who go free.
00:42:09By death, my lord, if you think to rule here, you will soon know better.
00:42:13Verily, Vane is dead.
00:42:15Dead? How?
00:42:16Killed in resisting arrest.
00:42:18But I gave orders...
00:42:19My order is that he should not be touched.
00:42:21But this fool takes it upon him to overrule my orders.
00:42:24Do you not understand, my lord, that we wished Vane to visit Philip?
00:42:28And when he returns stuffed with Philip's plots,
00:42:31then, then we should have taken him.
00:42:34Well, I was afraid for her life, I...
00:42:35Oh, I am assured of your dutiful thoughts.
00:42:37Did they get Vane's papers?
00:42:39No, he leapt over the boat side and the tide swept him away.
00:42:42Waste, waste, waste.
00:42:47Wherein have I failed?
00:42:49Robin, do you think that drowned fellow is indeed a traitor?
00:42:53I know it.
00:42:54I know a youngster who is no traitor.
00:42:59You don't understand.
00:43:00I understand very well.
00:43:01Young loyalty is asked to pay for everyone's mistakes.
00:43:04I won't let you.
00:43:05Listen, if the Queen sends you home in disgrace,
00:43:07I'll come with you and be disgraced too.
00:43:13Dear and foolish.
00:43:17Why foolish?
00:43:19You love me, don't you?
00:43:25Well, then.
00:43:27It's settled.
00:43:35I can't.
00:43:37Michael.
00:43:41I can't.
00:43:42We have a right to be happy.
00:43:44Everyone has a right to be happy, Michael.
00:43:46Everyone, yes.
00:43:48That is why we can't be.
00:43:57The last time I watched a fire fall to pieces,
00:44:01The last time I watched a fire fall to pieces was the day my father,
00:44:06Elena and I were laughing.
00:44:09And then the smoke began to drift across the bay.
00:44:14Michael.
00:44:16Michael.
00:44:17Yes, dearest.
00:44:18Of course we have a right to be happy.
00:44:20Husband and wife sitting by the fire, listening to the crackle.
00:44:24And thinking of what they did to him.
00:44:27I shall make you forget it.
00:44:29I shall.
00:44:30The smoke drifted right over us.
00:44:33And now it's drifting over England.
00:44:36Unless we stop it.
00:44:39Oh, Cynthia, help me to stop it.
00:44:43I'll help you.
00:44:45How?
00:44:55Come away, Michael.
00:44:56She would like you to come away, Michael, to your home and hers.
00:45:00And I do not blame her for dreaming.
00:45:03But it is not service.
00:45:04What is service?
00:45:06First, obedience.
00:45:08I will obey you.
00:45:10Then, Michael, give me what I want.
00:45:14I will give Your Majesty my life.
00:45:17Would you?
00:45:18Would you give me your silly young life?
00:45:21Dear man.
00:45:24Then I will tell you some news.
00:45:26Vane, who was on his treacherous way to Philip's court, is dead.
00:45:29But this is known to none.
00:45:31He was of your height, not much older.
00:45:34And I speak Spanish.
00:45:35Well?
00:45:37Could you play Vane's part?
00:45:38It is madness.
00:45:39Why should he risk his life twice?
00:45:42Dearest, be quiet.
00:45:43No, let her speak. You love her.
00:45:45It is fit that you should ask her leave.
00:45:47I love her.
00:45:49But I will not ask any girl's leave to do what I must.
00:45:52Not if I order it.
00:45:53Michael.
00:45:54Michael, speak to me out of your own heart.
00:45:55Not because she bids you.
00:45:56Must you go?
00:45:58If you are killed, Michael,
00:45:59there will be so many years without you.
00:46:01I shall grow old.
00:46:03Fifty years without you, Michael.
00:46:04Think of it.
00:46:06Fifty springs, summers, winters.
00:46:09Must you go?
00:46:20Then you go with my free will.
00:46:23Lord Burleigh will order your journey.
00:46:26Luck go with you.
00:46:30I have no more to say to you till you return.
00:46:53Carol.
00:46:56Where do you go?
00:46:58I do but seek some
00:47:00merciful corner to cry in.
00:47:04Cry here.
00:47:18The money.
00:47:20The money.
00:47:21The money.
00:47:23And the license to travel.
00:47:24A license not granted to Hillary Vane.
00:47:27Who was on his way to Philip when he died.
00:47:29And took his secrets with him.
00:47:31Secrets?
00:47:32The names.
00:47:33We know the plot against the Queen
00:47:35but not the plotter's names.
00:47:37And Philip knows them?
00:47:38None but Philip.
00:47:40I will get those names.
00:47:41How?
00:47:43I do not know, my lords.
00:47:45But I know that if I do not get those names for you
00:47:47I will never see England again.
00:47:51No.
00:48:15Make up the fire.
00:48:16This hot ain't for a day.
00:48:18I am always cold.
00:48:19Accordio, Sire.
00:48:21No wine warms me.
00:48:24How many letters have I answered?
00:48:26Your Majesty has this morning written 40 letters with your own hands
00:48:28and dictated nine dispatches.
00:48:30I will continue.
00:48:31Sire, is it not time to rest?
00:48:34Not in this world.
00:48:36Who remains to be seen?
00:48:38Admiral Valdez, newly arrived from Lisbon.
00:48:40He awaits instructions concerning the Armada.
00:48:42Who else?
00:48:43Mr. Vane, from England.
00:48:45Admit the Admiral.
00:48:50Employ rigorous means.
00:48:56Only by fear can the people be made to...
00:49:01Admiral, I am satisfied with your report.
00:49:05And the Armada sails?
00:49:07A month from this day,
00:49:08if the Englishman confirms our hopes.
00:49:11Admit, Mr. Vane,
00:49:13that the Armada is a threat.
00:49:15Confirms our hopes.
00:49:17Admit, Mr. Vane.
00:49:20Continue.
00:49:23Only by fear can the people be made to do their duty.
00:49:28Not always then.
00:49:30Your Majesty,
00:49:31on behalf of all your devoted adherents in England,
00:49:34I...
00:49:35I...
00:49:36Compose yourself.
00:49:37You are welcome to Spain.
00:49:39Get up and deliver me your letters.
00:49:49Your Majesty,
00:49:51I have a letter for you.
00:49:53A letter for me?
00:49:55Yes.
00:49:57I am the letter, sire.
00:50:00We dare not commit our plans to paper.
00:50:02But Lord Amberley says here...
00:50:03Ah, but...
00:50:04Mr. Vane,
00:50:05you must not interrupt His Majesty.
00:50:07Let him go on.
00:50:08I know the English.
00:50:10I only wish to say, sir,
00:50:11that my Lord Amberley wrote
00:50:13before the attempt on the Queen's life.
00:50:14What?
00:50:15It was no attempt of ours.
00:50:18A poor lunatic.
00:50:19Was the Queen hurt?
00:50:20Untouched.
00:50:22But there is now such watchfulness at court
00:50:24that we all, and my Lord Amberley in particular,
00:50:27favor a delay.
00:50:28More delays.
00:50:29Only until the armada reaches the channel.
00:50:32In the confusion,
00:50:33the Queen should be easy to attack.
00:50:35Wait.
00:50:43Now, sir,
00:50:44plan.
00:50:46Sir, in the audience chamber at Greenwich...
00:50:48I remember that audience chamber.
00:50:50Always drafty when the wind was blowing.
00:50:52Always drafty when the wind was in the east.
00:50:54Yes, sir.
00:50:55Because, sir,
00:50:56behind the tapestry there is a passage
00:50:58walled up since the old king's day.
00:51:01But some of us have secretly taken down the brickwork.
00:51:03Some of you?
00:51:05How many of you attend the Queen?
00:51:08My Lord Amberley always.
00:51:10And...
00:51:13And myself until a month ago.
00:51:15Has Sir Humphrey Cooper returned?
00:51:17Sir Humphrey's absence
00:51:18hardly affects the situation, sir.
00:51:20What is the plan?
00:51:22Why, to spirit the Queen out of the palace
00:51:24by way of the passage.
00:51:25Where would you take her?
00:51:28To Sir Humphrey Cooper.
00:51:31Surely he lives in the north.
00:51:33Ah, but he has an empty house
00:51:35on the Essex Marshes.
00:51:37The Essex Marshes.
00:51:39It would be easy to send over a boat from Holland.
00:51:43I will consider your scheme.
00:51:45Count,
00:51:46I commit Mr. Vane to your charge.
00:51:49Accompany him to the governor's apartments
00:51:51and see to it that his stay with us
00:51:52is a pleasant one.
00:51:55Your Majesty, I must come to thank...
00:51:57Compose yourself.
00:52:09Well, Admiral?
00:52:11I do not understand these blunt Englishmen.
00:52:13I lived a year with Englishmen.
00:52:16I hated every one of them.
00:52:19And how it rained.
00:52:21But we must use the tools
00:52:23that Providence sends us, Admiral.
00:52:26Blunt though they be.
00:52:27It is a good scheme, Sire.
00:52:29Yes.
00:52:31It is a good scheme.
00:52:35If he is honest.
00:52:38Your first visit to Spain.
00:52:39And my first view of the Oscuridad.
00:52:41Very impressive.
00:52:42But I shall inevitably lose my way
00:52:43in all these bewildering galleries and corridors.
00:52:45In that case, always ask to be sent to prison.
00:52:48To prison.
00:52:49Now we've alarmed him.
00:52:50As governor of the palace,
00:52:51my official quarters are of course
00:52:52connected with the prison.
00:52:53So you two must be careful, Mr. Vane.
00:52:55Oh, I will.
00:52:56His medicine already made me shake in my shoes.
00:52:58Why, what did he say?
00:52:59Compose yourself.
00:53:05Elena!
00:53:11Spain and England under one king.
00:53:13Think of it.
00:53:14Oh, we do.
00:53:15All England waiting for salvation.
00:53:17All England watching the channel.
00:53:19Waiting.
00:53:20That's it.
00:53:21Just waiting.
00:53:24Pedro!
00:53:26Admiral Valdez has just come.
00:53:28He's going to stay with us.
00:53:29He promises he will.
00:53:30My dear Admiral.
00:53:31Oh, Don Escobar.
00:53:38Oh, yes.
00:53:39My dear, allow me to present
00:53:40His Majesty's guest from England,
00:53:42Mr. Hillary Vane.
00:53:50My dear.
00:53:51Talk to your guest from England.
00:53:55I...
00:53:57I want to talk to you.
00:54:00You come from home.
00:54:02My dear, how you do remind me of your father.
00:54:05You speak of Don Miguel de Cazanes, haven't you?
00:54:08I didn't know that you met my father-in-law, Mr. Vane.
00:54:11I have heard of him.
00:54:12I have heard of him.
00:54:13I have heard of him.
00:54:14I have heard of him.
00:54:15I have heard of him.
00:54:16I have heard of him.
00:54:17I have heard of him.
00:54:18I have heard his praises sung so often at home.
00:54:20He made many friends in England.
00:54:22It is hard for me to remember that now.
00:54:30Have I?
00:54:31My father-in-law was killed two months ago.
00:54:34Killed?
00:54:35By English pirates?
00:54:39I am deeply distressed to hear that.
00:54:41Are you?
00:54:42Why?
00:54:43You are English.
00:54:44A layman.
00:54:49Only three years ago, Mr. Vane, Mr. Don Miguel de Cazanes, Mr. Vane
00:54:52I don't know fuller vanity than this, to kiss and hate, to kiss and love, to kiss.
00:55:17Charming, charming, charming.
00:55:21Charming.
00:55:22Then you approve of our Spanish love songs. I find them disturbing.
00:55:25Our English songs are lighter.
00:55:26More heartless.
00:55:28That's a challenge. Am I to accept it?
00:55:30If you dare.
00:55:32Dare.
00:55:40As the holly groweth green, and never changeth hue, so am I, and I have been unto my lady true.
00:55:50But that's charming. Who wrote it?
00:55:53King Henry VIII.
00:55:54That monster who beheaded all his wives?
00:55:56How could he?
00:55:58But love often turns to hate, doesn't it, Countess?
00:56:00I dare say, when it is rewarded by shamelessness.
00:56:04What's that you're playing now?
00:56:06One of our English ballads. They call it The Spanish Lady's Love.
00:56:11Will you hear a Spanish lady, how she saved an Englishman?
00:56:18Garments came, rich as maybe she had on.
00:56:23Comely was her countenance, high was her degree.
00:56:29Smiling, sighing, full of grace was she.
00:56:37Will you hear a Spanish lady, how she saved an Englishman?
00:56:43How a gentle Spanish lady saved an Englishman.
00:56:59And now let me propose a toast.
00:57:01Gentlemen, I give you the loveliness of Spain.
00:57:04An ingenious toast. It's wine.
00:57:07It's music.
00:57:09It's women.
00:57:10I had no idea an Englishman was so gallant.
00:57:13A thousand apologies.
00:57:16I have been with the King until this moment.
00:57:18Does His Majesty ever stop working?
00:57:20Stop working?
00:57:22Not to my knowledge.
00:57:25I shouldn't be surprised, Mr. Vane, if you found yourself on your way back to England before dawn.
00:57:29I have never known His Majesty to decide a matter so quickly.
00:57:32Gentlemen, you are to be congratulated.
00:57:35There are few who succeed in harrying our prudent King.
00:57:38Then let us drink, gentlemen, to your prudent King.
00:57:41King.
00:57:42King.
00:57:48Prudence is, of course, a virtue that we English lack.
00:57:51You put audacity in its place?
00:57:53You despise audacity.
00:57:55It dazzles me once, but I have since learned to admire other qualities in a man.
00:58:00Such as?
00:58:01Unselfishness.
00:58:03Consideration for others.
00:58:05All that is implied by...
00:58:07Prudence.
00:58:09My friends, drink to the prudent who think as the state thinks.
00:58:13Who believe as the state believes.
00:58:15Who love and hate with prudence.
00:58:18And die prudently when it is no longer safe to live.
00:58:22And lie snug at last in prudent graves.
00:58:25Gentlefolk of Spain, I give you the prudent state.
00:58:29And may England...
00:58:37You can guess my wishes, gentlemen, for England.
00:58:40Yes, we guess your wishes.
00:58:43Ah, yes.
00:58:45Let us now drink to the success of our guest's mission.
00:58:49To the end of heresy.
00:58:52To the invincible Armada.
00:58:54To the destruction of Elizabeth.
00:58:59You do not drink.
00:59:02My glass is empty.
00:59:04Oh, uh...
00:59:16To the salvation of England.
00:59:23You've cut your hand.
00:59:26It's nothing.
00:59:30Elena.
00:59:32No, Michael.
00:59:34Elena, please.
00:59:36I must tell my husband who you are.
00:59:38You know I must.
00:59:40And the king must know.
00:59:42I can't let you betray Spain.
00:59:44I'm only fighting for my own people.
00:59:46And I for mine.
00:59:52Then why did you say nothing when we met?
00:59:56Then why did you say nothing when we met?
01:00:00You had only to say, this is Michael Ingleby, a runaway prisoner.
01:00:05Why did you keep my secret?
01:00:10I remembered you.
01:00:15Dear.
01:00:18Dear, Mr. Baker.
01:00:20Why are there wars?
01:00:22Why must I be torn in two?
01:00:25It isn't wrong to be fond of you.
01:00:30Father.
01:00:33He was too.
01:00:35Darling.
01:00:37So I kept your secret till I could speak to you.
01:00:40But now I must give you up to them.
01:00:48Kiss me first.
01:00:51No.
01:00:54It's just goodbye.
01:00:57Last time we forgot to say goodbye.
01:01:03Goodbye.
01:01:06Michael.
01:01:12Pamela's coming.
01:01:14It's Pedro.
01:01:16Then tell him now.
01:01:18Or it could be more prudent.
01:01:20You're cruel.
01:01:23Adela.
01:01:37I've been enjoying the Spanish moonlight.
01:01:39So have I seen.
01:01:42The moonlight in this country is best enjoyed alone.
01:01:45Why have you left your guests?
01:01:47Answer me.
01:01:49What happened just now?
01:01:51You told me to talk to him. You said I'd been rude.
01:01:54Did I tell you to walk alone with him on the terrace?
01:01:56There was no harm. He was just saying goodbye.
01:01:59In private?
01:02:01Why are you so angry? I shall never see him again.
01:02:04Again?
01:02:06Where have you seen him?
01:02:08Nowhere.
01:02:09Then why did you...
01:02:12You have seen him before.
01:02:14What is this mystery?
01:02:16Who is this man that you insult in public?
01:02:18And yet in private you...
01:02:19No, no, Pedro. You're wrong.
01:02:21Well?
01:02:23Give me the copy of Mr. Payne's instructions and the letters.
01:02:27Mr. James Talton.
01:02:30Lord Ellingworth.
01:02:32Sir Humphrey Cooper.
01:02:34Mr. Joseph Madison.
01:02:36Lord Amberley.
01:02:38And, of course, Mr. Lawrence Gregory.
01:02:42Ah, Mr. Payne.
01:02:44Mr. Payne.
01:02:46Mr. Payne.
01:02:48Mr. Payne.
01:02:50Mr. Payne.
01:02:52Mr. Payne.
01:02:55Ah, Mr. Payne.
01:03:01Mr. Payne, you will leave for England tonight.
01:03:04Majesty.
01:03:06I have not finished.
01:03:08I have written for you the necessary letters of authorization.
01:03:12The ink is still wet. Sand it for me.
01:03:14Allow me.
01:03:21That is the sand.
01:03:23That the ink.
01:03:25Papa.
01:03:26Copy the letter again.
01:03:31In the meanwhile, I will outline for you the modifications I desire to make in your plans.
01:03:37Having secured the Queen's person...
01:03:40Your father must have been beside himself.
01:03:42An enemy who has...
01:03:43He wasn't an enemy.
01:03:44He was just my career of fondness.
01:03:46Fond of him?
01:03:48The wife of the governor of the palace has failed to disclose the presence of an enemy.
01:03:51Is the king there to say that she meant no harm?
01:03:53She was fond of him.
01:03:56I hope to deserve your Majesty's trust.
01:03:58Trust?
01:04:03I do not trust you, sir.
01:04:05I do not trust any man.
01:04:09If the Count of Culminar is without Fetcham...
01:04:14But you have convinced me that you believe that your welfare depends upon obeying me.
01:04:18And you are right.
01:04:20I reward those whom I...
01:04:23Within reason, trust.
01:04:27Upon your arrival in England, you will of course immediately get in touch with...
01:04:31Sir James Talton.
01:04:33And?
01:04:36My Lord Amberley.
01:04:40Mr. Joseph Madison.
01:04:43And?
01:04:45Sir Humphrey Cooper.
01:04:49Lord Illingworth.
01:04:54And?
01:04:57And?
01:05:05Talton, Amberley, Madison, Cooper, Illingworth.
01:05:11And?
01:05:19And?
01:05:23My memory.
01:05:26He's my oldest friend.
01:05:29The name is on the tip of my tongue.
01:05:34No? Gone.
01:05:38He will laugh when I tell him.
01:05:40And?
01:05:43Talton, Amberley, Madison, Cooper, Illingworth.
01:05:49And?
01:05:52Talton, Amberley, Madison, Cooper, Illingworth.
01:05:57And Mr. Lawrence Gregory.
01:06:00Count, you will place this gentleman under arrest.
01:06:09This way.
01:06:18This way.
01:06:34Your sword.
01:06:41Keep your dagger.
01:06:44You need your dagger, Mr. Ingleby.
01:06:46An alias, Talton?
01:06:48My wife's told me a tale of folly so inconceivable.
01:06:52Walk on. You may be watched.
01:06:56Will you realize what would happen to my wife if she's known to have helped a heretic?
01:07:00It will never be known through me.
01:07:01You English fool, you'll be persuaded till you tell everything.
01:07:05We understand persuasion.
01:07:07Walk on.
01:07:12You forced me to choose between betraying my country or my wife.
01:07:15I'm obliged to help you.
01:07:18Listen.
01:07:20Your only chance is to escape now before news of your arrest is spread through the palace.
01:07:24At the end of this gallery, I'll hand you over to the captain of the guard.
01:07:28Then, without scruple, you shall enter.
01:07:30And be shot down for my pain, my dear Count. That will be very convenient.
01:07:33I regret the risk, but you must take it.
01:07:36If, I say if, you are adroit enough to escape in the confusion,
01:07:41it will be to my interest to create a confusion to delay the chase.
01:07:45Make for the stables.
01:07:47If you could secure a horse before the alarm is given,
01:07:49by then you have a slender chance.
01:07:54Captain!
01:07:56You will escort this gentleman to the prison.
01:07:59I shall examine him tomorrow.
01:08:01Adios, senor.
01:08:04Adios, Count.
01:08:07Captain!
01:08:12At your service, Count.
01:08:13If at any time the prisoner should show signs of plotting an escape, he is to be shot down.
01:08:17Understood?
01:08:18Understood.
01:09:06Let's go.
01:09:36Let's go.
01:10:06Fire! Fire! Fire!
01:10:36Mr. Vane, is the fire serious?
01:10:39They're getting it under. I don't think we can do anything.
01:10:41You're leaving us tonight?
01:10:42Yes.
01:10:43His Majesty has been most gracious.
01:10:44I was just about to try and find my horse.
01:10:46I've arranged that.
01:10:49Oh, thank you.
01:10:51I am to slip away as unobtrusively as possible.
01:10:53Oh, naturally.
01:10:54But does His Majesty...
01:10:55Shh, shh, shh.
01:10:56You can trust me.
01:10:58I really am very much obliged to you.
01:11:00I should never have to trouble you.
01:11:02You can trust me.
01:11:04I really am very much obliged to you.
01:11:06I should never have got away without your good offices.
01:11:08I'm surprised His Majesty hasn't assigned an escort for you.
01:11:11I prefer to travel lightly.
01:11:12Yes, one likes to be quick.
01:11:13Yes, and at the moment it is most essential to hurry.
01:11:16Yes, we shall meet again in England.
01:11:18Yes, you will find us waiting for you.
01:11:20Adios.
01:11:24A very pleasant friend.
01:11:33As long as Michael is safe and you are not angry.
01:11:36No, not angry, my dearest.
01:11:38But you must grow up.
01:11:40You see, Elena, the whole trouble comes from treating our enemies like human beings.
01:11:45Don't you see, my dear, that if you do that, they cease to be enemies?
01:11:49Think what that leads to.
01:11:51It's the end of patriotism.
01:11:54It's the end of war.
01:11:56It's the end of...
01:11:58of everything.
01:12:00How do you see it?
01:12:02I see it.
01:12:05I see it.
01:12:07Police.
01:12:21Emolga!
01:12:28Emolga!
01:12:37♪
01:12:44♪
01:12:51♪
01:12:58♪
01:13:05♪
01:13:12♪
01:13:19♪
01:13:26♪
01:13:33♪
01:13:40♪
01:13:47♪
01:13:54♪
01:14:01♪
01:14:08Well, my spirit, I come to bid you goodbye.
01:14:12I am for Tilbury.
01:14:13Your grace should stay in London.
01:14:18Your grace will not take my advice?
01:14:20I cannot.
01:14:21Nor the council's advice?
01:14:23The council is a pack of cowards.
01:14:25The army is at Tilbury, and Lester writes me.
01:14:29Listen.
01:14:31May it please you to comfort this army and people
01:14:34by spending two or three days in the camp.
01:14:39So now comfort me, Burleigh,
01:14:42and wish me good luck.
01:14:44♪
01:14:53Is this your supper?
01:14:54Not now, not now.
01:14:55Oh, why, not now.
01:14:58Good English broth.
01:15:00♪
01:15:05Your majesty's kindness.
01:15:07Keep your breath to cool your porridge.
01:15:10♪
01:15:17And one more spoonful.
01:15:20♪
01:15:27Now I must go.
01:15:29♪
01:15:37Take care of him, child.
01:15:39Your grace.
01:15:41Your grace, is there still no news?
01:15:43Of the Armada?
01:15:44Michael.
01:15:46I have no comfort for you.
01:15:49Do you think he will come back?
01:15:51I'm not Providence.
01:15:52But what does your grace think?
01:15:54I have seen blacker fears turn to hopes.
01:15:58Hope until you know there is none.

01:17:27My people,
01:17:29I am come to live or die amongst you all.
01:17:32To lay down for my God and for my kingdom,
01:17:35and for my people,
01:17:37my honor and my blood, even in the dust.
01:17:40I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman,
01:17:43but I have the heart and valor of a king,
01:17:46and of a king of England, too.
01:17:48Not Spain, nor any prince of Europe
01:17:51shall dare to invade the borders of my realm.
01:17:54Pluck up your hearts.
01:17:56By your peace in camp and your valor in the field,
01:17:59we shall shortly have a famous victory.
01:18:01Victory!
01:18:15Who shall keep my subjects from me?
01:18:22Well, loiterer?
01:18:25Majesty, the news from Spain.
01:18:28Come.
01:18:30Victory!
01:18:37Mr. Gregory,
01:18:39summon to me here my Lord Amberley,
01:18:41my Lord Ellingworth, Sir Humphrey Cooper,
01:18:44Sir James Tarleton, Mr. Madison,
01:18:49and return yourself.
01:19:01You have done more than well.
01:19:08You can ask and have.
01:19:14She knows everything. Everything.
01:19:16Is it better if we face it out, or do we run for it?
01:19:18Run where? Once the Spaniards are in?
01:19:20We'll all be hanged by then.
01:19:26You have done enough.
01:19:28Not while the Spaniards are in the channel.
01:19:31You said ask and have. Let me join the ships.
01:19:36Your Grace,
01:19:38the gentlemen are waiting.
01:19:40Your place is with those others, and you know it.
01:19:44Go.
01:19:54What is wrong here?
01:19:58Robin, I need your sword.
01:20:00My sword?
01:20:02Yes. Here in my hand.
01:20:08Kneel, Michael.
01:20:19Rise up.
01:20:21Rise up, Sir Michael Ingleby.
01:20:28Your Grace.
01:20:30Your Grace.
01:20:34I rise up and I cast down.
01:20:40Wait here.
01:20:42Wait here.
01:20:56Words will not come.
01:20:58Kneel there.
01:21:00She is...
01:21:02She is...
01:21:04She is the Queen.
01:21:07The greatest joy of my lifetime has been to serve her.
01:21:11And so will you find it.
01:21:14So, sirs,
01:21:16you have plotted to kill me.
01:21:20Well, here I stand and you still wear your swords.
01:21:32Men use them better.
01:21:35What, let the King of Spain call you servants
01:21:38when I call you sons?
01:21:41Your Grace.
01:21:43Aye, sons, though your lives are forfeit.
01:21:46How will you die?
01:21:48In sunlight or in darkness?
01:21:50For a free world or a world where your thoughts are rationed like prison bread?
01:21:55Choose, for the enemy is upon us.
01:21:58God save the Queen.
01:22:00God save the Queen.
01:22:02Sir Michael Ingleby, come here.
01:22:04Michael, I will give you a command.
01:22:07You shall fight fire with fire.
01:22:09And these men shall fight under you for their sole salvation.
01:22:13Gentlemen, dear Michael,
01:22:16if you took seven little ships and tarred them
01:22:19and piled them with firewood
01:22:21and so sailed out single-handed against the greatest fleet the world has ever known,
01:22:25if you took not swords in your hands but torches...
01:22:37THE END

01:25:17Thou didst blow with thy wind, and they were scattered.
01:25:38Peace.
01:25:40Till next time.
01:25:41No next time.
01:25:43The armada is scattered to the four winds.
01:25:45And now the bells begin to ring.
01:25:47Oh, your grace must rest.
01:25:49No time, Robin.
01:25:51For now come the rewards and the knightings and all the happy people.
01:25:57And the blind,
01:25:59who will never see again.
01:26:03And the blind,
01:26:05who will never see again.
01:26:09And the maimed men.
01:26:12And the men with youth gone out of them.
01:26:15Some have a little youth left.
01:26:23Listen to our wedding bells.
01:26:25The woman's point of view.
01:26:27Every steeple in England rocks with joy,
01:26:30and my granddaughter says,
01:26:32it's because I'm getting married.
01:26:37So at last they are to marry.
01:26:39I allow it.
01:26:41They shall not stand court.
01:26:44I'll have no married folk at my court.
01:26:46Yet I'm a married man.
01:26:48Oh, fool you.
01:26:50You may go.
01:26:53And come again?
01:26:56Come and go.
01:27:00Come and go.
01:27:08This mirror is old and tarnished.
01:27:14I will have no more mirrors in any room of mine.
01:27:30THE END
01:27:34THE END
01:27:58My loving people,
01:28:02let us give thanks.
01:28:13Almighty God,
01:28:17Father of all mercies,
01:28:22we, thine unworthy servants,
01:28:25do give thee most humble and hearty thanks.
