00:03:17I'm in haste to get to London. Look you we're all in haste to get to London where our horses fresh in the rain stop
00:03:23I think you must award them. My lord is clearly a man. I care not who my lord is fat chops
00:03:27I would not venture out in the wet to free the coach of the Queen herself and nor would any of my friends
00:03:32Oh, I'm on the Queen's business
00:03:34The last time I went out on the Queen's business was to the Irish Wars
00:03:37I went and here's all I got for that to free your coach might cost me the other one
00:03:43Gary you know that man. No, not from Adam. I do very well
00:03:50When I tell them sit they move not I
00:03:53Shall tell them rise and they will move your tongue works like a dog's tail. So my tongue speaking then we speak the same language
00:04:19I
00:04:49Come from the Irish Wars and I'm as poor as you but I've spent nights in the Irish bogs that make this seem like July sunshine
00:05:09So shall we free my lord's coach?
00:05:20Friend you beat me fair. We'll either free his coach or carry it back to London on our backs
00:05:31Come on lads

00:05:43For a heartless race
00:05:46Lord will you not stately free your coach?
00:05:49Nay I have learned to thrive on foul weather
00:05:55Heave
00:05:58Come on again
00:05:59Heave
00:06:03My lord
00:06:04Well done
00:06:05Here go and drink yourselves dry again
00:06:08Aye that we will my lord
00:06:12As for you sir another metal
00:06:14Gold? Nay my lord
00:06:16And why not there?
00:06:18To serve my queen is reward enough
00:06:20So so you fought in Ireland?
00:06:23I'm a lord as a captain of horse
00:06:25From whence come you?
00:06:26From Devonshire sir a village called Hayes Barton
00:06:29Hayes Barton in other days I had a friend there Rowley was his name
00:06:34He was my father sir
00:06:36So see you did I remember you well as a boy
00:06:40Do you not know who I am?
00:06:42No my lord
00:06:43In those days I was Robert Dudley now I am the Earl of Leicester
00:06:46The Lord Chancellor of England and many other things
00:06:49But your father does he well?
00:06:51He's been dead these seven years sir
00:06:53Sad
00:06:54Young Rowley you've done me a service I would do you one
00:06:57Wait on me at Whitehall Palace in the morning three days hence
00:07:01Look your lordship my poor friend here isn't feeling very well today
00:07:06Drunk my lord
00:07:08Oh
00:07:13Sir come along now
00:07:19Have you no ears in your head?
00:07:21He offered you gold
00:07:23One small purse of gold
00:07:26My hopes are higher than that
00:07:29Now if you should choose to remain in the army
00:07:31I'm sure something better for you can be found than service as a captain
00:07:34Nay my lord I trust I've done with wars
00:07:37Something then of the civil government?
00:07:39I've no wish to haunt palaces
00:07:41What may I do for you then?
00:07:43Present me to Her Majesty the Queen
00:07:49Your Majesty
00:07:50Your Majesty
00:07:51Your Majesty
00:07:52Your Majesty
00:07:53Your Majesty
00:07:54Your Majesty
00:07:55Your Majesty
00:07:56Your Majesty
00:07:58To the Queen
00:07:59I've long had a dream my lord
00:08:01To sail to the new world in ships of my own design
00:08:04I feel the Queen would share that dream
00:08:07At the inn the other night you knew who I was did you not?
00:08:12I'm a lord
00:08:13I thought as much
00:08:15You're clever Walter
00:08:16No sir but sometimes a man must catch the nearest way
00:08:19Now in all honesty I ask that I may be allowed to tell her my plan for these ships
00:08:23Perchance it will find favour with her
00:08:25She's a woman of both whims and wisdom
00:08:28But the whims are of the moment
00:08:30The wisdom will endure when you and I are dead
00:08:36Are those the only clothes you have?
00:08:38If you want I shall be glad
00:08:39No sir I'll accept only what I've asked
00:08:41Ah like all devon men you're stubborn
00:08:45Proud sir
00:08:47God help your pride
00:08:49If you shall find favour with the Queen
00:08:55No
00:08:56No
00:08:57No
00:08:58Well here is a cloak of Flemish velvet satin lined exquisitely embroidered
00:09:02Value only eight sovereign sir
00:09:04Look you Master Taylor these are cloaks for ordinary men
00:09:08I have a cloak fit for an emperor
00:09:10Tailored as you have never seen cloak tailored before
00:09:13A very god amongst cloaks
00:09:15Such cutting
00:09:16Such workmanship
00:09:18Such imagination of design
00:09:20Yes
00:09:21Not that one sir this one
00:09:22This one Master Taylor
00:09:23No no no
00:09:24That is tailored for a most
00:09:26Gently sir gently
00:09:27This is tailored for a most important man
00:09:29He comes to get it tomorrow
00:09:31It is not for sale
00:09:32Ah that becomes me
00:09:33I fear to touch it myself lest I harm the thread
00:09:35Please I beg of you sir
00:09:36The French ambassador will never forgive me
00:09:39The French ambassador
00:09:40Yes
00:09:41It's for him you're making this
00:09:42Indeed it is sir
00:09:43Does it not matter to you that when you deliver this cloak to him
00:09:46You will be betraying your whole craft
00:09:48Every tailor in London
00:09:49Betraying
00:09:50Do you think that the French ambassador will take this cloak to wear it as it stands
00:09:52When that man has sworn to discredit the entire tailoring trade of London
00:09:55The French ambassador
00:09:57Ambassadors
00:09:58What are they paid spies
00:09:59Do you know what he'll do
00:10:01He'll set the tailor he keeps with him in secret to work
00:10:03One shoulder will drop
00:10:05The hemline will drag
00:10:07There will be a strange tarnishing of the gold
00:10:09Here he'll say here is English tailoring for you
00:10:12The French ambassador
00:10:13The French ambassador
00:10:14The villain the frog eating villain
00:10:16Thank goodness you told me sir
00:10:17How much
00:10:18The price is twenty sovereigns
00:10:20Well I hadn't thought of buying it I just wanted to hire it
00:10:23Hire it
00:10:24Just for one day I'll pay you the price of a lesser cloak
00:10:26Oh but you couldn't hire it sir not for blood nor money
00:10:29Something might happen to it
00:10:31Is this gratitude to the man who saved you from the wrath of every tailor in London
00:10:35Yes but
00:10:39Oh
00:10:51And her name Monsieur l'Ambassadeur
00:10:54Would you gentlemen repeat the lady's name
00:10:57But if you promise not to tell
00:10:59Her name
00:11:04What do you see
00:11:05Je ne suis pas certain
00:11:14This fellow that came in with Lester who is he
00:11:17Stranger to me
00:11:18He wears a fine cloak cut in the French fashion
00:11:20Too fine for the rest of him
00:11:25I'll soon find out
00:11:43I am used you sir
00:11:44Just the fineness of your cloak
00:11:45May I ask how you came by it
00:11:47I took it from the corpse of a fellow I stabbed
00:11:49He made the mistake of pawing me
00:11:51My apologies
00:11:52You washed it well
00:11:54No on the contrary the fellow was bloodless like yourself
00:11:57Would you question me further sir
00:11:59No further
00:12:07Don't be bold Beth
00:12:08Faith for a woman not bold she would lack for much pleasure
00:12:13Master Stranger
00:12:14Mistress Curiosity
00:12:16What brings you to court sir
00:12:17An audience with the Queen
00:12:18Ah then you must be more careful
00:12:20The man you insulted has the ear of Sir Christopher Hatton
00:12:23And Sir Christopher has the ear of the Queen
00:12:25Is this the general rule of court etiquette
00:12:27One of many sir
00:12:28Name me more
00:12:29It would take too long
00:12:30Your voice is very pleasing to hear
00:12:32Oh well
00:12:33Number one
00:12:34Keep a blank face like those you see about you
00:12:37Your face is not blank
00:12:38Do not interrupt sir
00:12:39Two
00:12:40Be careful to whom you speak and where
00:12:42The very walls are listening
00:12:43Three
00:12:44Do not be seen talking to such as I in the Queen's presence
00:12:47She would take a miss
00:12:48Four
00:13:04Mistress Throgmorton
00:13:06Is this your pet swine
00:13:08You have cast pearls before him
00:13:11Your Majesty
00:13:14Faith is no swine for it speaks
00:13:16It is a man and a stranger to boot
00:13:19Your name and business
00:13:20Captain Walter Raleigh ma'am
00:13:22New come from Ireland
00:13:23With dispatches for us
00:13:24Your Majesty
00:13:25Captain Marley's father and I were great friends
00:13:27I have heard scant news of Ireland these many days
00:13:30There is good news ma'am and bad
00:13:32Alas I believe it
00:13:34Ireland is no better no no worse than Whitehall Palace
00:13:37I am surrounded by dancers
00:13:39To do me good to talk with a blunt man of war
00:13:42Ma'am the armour of which I
00:13:43Iron will not rust Christopher
00:13:45I have been talking nonsense all morning
00:13:47To do me no harm to talk Ireland now
00:13:50As you please ma'am
00:13:51Yes Christopher as I please
00:13:54And it pleases me to see your armour
00:13:57Sir Christopher Hatton here has a breastplate
00:13:59Engraven with the love of Mars and Venus
00:14:02You will come with us to inspect it
00:14:04As a soldier you can best value its worth
00:14:06And later I have been sent fresh fruit and wine from Portugal
00:14:10Perhaps you will sup with us
00:14:14Are you fond of armour Captain?
00:14:16It has saved my life on occasion ma'am
00:14:18Spoken like a blunt soldier
00:14:20And the rest of me blunt soldiers
00:14:22Fight they well in Ireland?
00:14:24Your Englishman always fights well ma'am
00:14:26He is half hawk half vulture
00:14:28And you are you half hawk and half vulture?
00:14:32I soar high but I eat no carrion
00:14:34Ah the hawk is a pointed tongue
00:14:36Did you hear that Christopher?
00:14:37Aye ma'am clearly
00:14:39Hawks have loud and raucous voices
00:14:41Would you mellow mine sir?
00:14:42Ah smooth your feathers Captain
00:14:44We are all hawks here
00:15:06Your Majesty
00:15:12Sir Christopher
00:15:17Would you leave your cloak in the mire Captain?
00:15:19Would I be so vainglorious as to wear the cloak that my queen has
00:15:22Oh pick it up man pick it up
00:15:25I'm not quite sure whether you please me or not
00:15:29However you have qualities which the court sadly lacks
00:15:34Must we stand here in the chill air?
00:15:36Your Majesty
00:15:38Sable
00:15:39The finest sable
00:15:41As you say ma'am there is no finer fur
00:15:43Much too fine to waste on a mere queen
00:15:55You have a wits Captain
00:15:57A poor reflection of your own ma'am
00:15:59Oh flattery flattery
00:16:01Flattery is something the soldier never learns
00:16:03More wine
00:16:05And what is it the soldier does learn?
00:16:07Attacks, the storming of citadels
00:16:09Aye that and more
00:16:11And women
00:16:12Do you consider them citadels to be stormed?
00:16:15Women are not like citadels ma'am they have better defences
00:16:18Some have walls of paper
00:16:20They are masters of retreat
00:16:21Mistresses Captain mistresses
00:16:25You may go
00:16:26And what is your next campaign?
00:16:29I'm already launched on it ma'am
00:16:31My next campaign is you
00:16:33It takes strategy to reach me
00:16:36I have already used much strategy
00:16:38On whom?
00:16:39The Earl of Leicester for one
00:16:41Then you are a soldier indeed
00:16:44But now that you have reached your... your citadel
00:16:47What tactics will you use?
00:16:49What tactics will you use?
00:16:51What tactics will you use?
00:16:53Your citadel
00:16:55What tactics will you use to storm the walls?
00:16:58Honest ones ma'am
00:17:00But suppose the walls were breached and the Queen captured
00:17:03What ransom would you ask?
00:17:06Three ships no more
00:17:10You talk of ships Captain?
00:17:12Aye ma'am and such ships as the world has never seen
00:17:14We were talking of citadels
00:17:16Every ship is a citadel
00:17:17Since first I learned to walk my life has been in and around them
00:17:20Citadels?
00:17:21Ships ma'am
00:17:22I know more of them than I know of the ways of women
00:17:24Women?
00:17:25Believe me ma'am yes
00:17:26And I know a hundred ways in which they can be improved
00:17:29Women?
00:17:30Ships ma'am
00:17:31I made my own designs
00:17:33For ships that will skim the waves like gulls
00:17:35That will outrace anything afloat
00:17:37I had thought you were a soldier
00:17:38I am
00:17:39But a sailor first of all
00:17:41I would take these ships of mine to the new world
00:17:43With all its riches
00:17:44I would bring them back heavy with gold and spices
00:17:46I'd swell the coffers of the realm
00:17:49Give me these ships ma'am
00:17:50And a year in the new world
00:17:52And before heaven you'll be glad you met with me this day
00:18:01Right
00:18:03No one leaves the Queen's presence without the Queen's permission
00:18:06Depart this room and before heaven you will regret you met with me this day
00:18:10I regret it already ma'am
00:18:11I had thought you'd listen to an honest man
00:18:13Too few of them
00:18:15I'm out of practice
00:18:17Do I have your Majesty's permission to leave?
00:18:19You have not
00:18:21Faith you spoke true when you said you knew not the ways of women
00:18:25I spoke true in all I said
00:18:27This is a court and no place to talk truth
00:18:31Furthermore it is winter weather
00:18:33And no time to talk of voyaging
00:18:37Fill my goblet Walter
00:18:39Fill my goblet Walter
00:19:09Fill my goblet Walter
00:19:25Your reign was short Christopher
00:19:27I serve my Queen as she wills
00:19:29And I understand her moves
00:19:31This rally is just the whim of the day
00:19:33She but toys with him
00:19:35Suppose he were not the whim of the day
00:19:37Suppose from my window I could look out on a fair view of lakes and mountains
00:19:40And suppose someone planted a tree in front of that window
00:19:43What would I do?
00:19:45Pull it out by the roots
00:19:46Exactly
00:19:47My Lord the Queen commands your presence
00:19:54But as you can plainly observe there is no tree
00:20:01Captain Raleigh
00:20:04Your cloak Captain Raleigh
00:20:06Thank you Mistress Throgmorton
00:20:09It's very muddy
00:20:10And very famous
00:20:12Did she give you your ships?
00:20:14How should you know what I asked her?
00:20:16Are there no secrets at court?
00:20:18She gave me no ships nor any straight answer
00:20:20I'm delighted to hear it
00:20:22I'm not
00:20:23Until she gives you an answer you must perforce linger in the court
00:20:26Believe me I shall come no more to court
00:20:28Nay I think you too stubborn a man to go off without the Queen's final yay or nay
00:20:33I wait on her word I intend to see you often
00:20:36In the Queen's presence?
00:20:38She take that amiss?
00:20:39Perhaps
00:20:40Perhaps not
00:20:41Did you sit on the cushion?
00:20:43What cushion?
00:20:44The green striped one at the foot of her chair
00:20:46I'm not a lap dog
00:20:47Then she cares not if I see you
00:20:51You pursue very fast
00:20:53On the contrary Captain I do not pursue
00:20:56I surround
00:20:58A good night to you
00:21:03Walter
00:21:05Aye
00:21:06What's your news? Did you see the Queen?
00:21:08Aye I dined with her alone
00:21:10And got your ships?
00:21:12No
00:21:15Speak up man what happened?
00:21:17I had a cup of wine flung at me
00:21:19And I caught a smile
00:21:21There was talk
00:21:22Talk like a game of chess with no conclusion
00:21:25What is it?
00:21:26It's nothing
00:21:27It's nothing
00:21:28It's nothing
00:21:29It's nothing
00:21:30It's nothing
00:21:31Talk like a game of chess with no conclusion
00:21:33What is a man to think?
00:21:35Oh never have I seen you like this
00:21:37I never was like this
00:21:38Come in
00:21:41The Earl of Leicester sir
00:21:44Lord Leicester
00:21:46You remember my friend Lord Derry?
00:21:48His Irish memento of the Irish wars aye?
00:21:51Yes yes
00:21:53Walter I come at the Queen's command
00:21:55With news that can bring fortune to you
00:21:57Fortune beyond any you have dreamed
00:22:02The ships?
00:22:04The Queen has appointed you the captain of her guard
00:22:07Her palace guard? I have no wish for such appointment
00:22:10So I told her majesty
00:22:12It was made nevertheless
00:22:13You have pleased her Walter?
00:22:15Pleased her?
00:22:16If she thinks to have me sit on her cursed cushion I'll leave tomorrow
00:22:20You're an ambitious man
00:22:22What place is there in England for ambition save at court?
00:22:26And my ships?
00:22:27Your ships may come in time
00:22:29If you hold her favour
00:22:32Then Derry we're in her guard
00:22:35Me too an Irishman?
00:22:36Oh is that wise?
00:22:38I came here Walter to tell you
00:22:40And to add the warning
00:22:42This is not a simple thing you undertake
00:22:45In return for her favour
00:22:46The Virgin Queen demands a devotion
00:22:49That is single hearted
00:22:51Unwavering
00:22:53Long suffering well look at me
00:22:55I do my lord
00:22:56And despite all I am proud to have served her
00:23:09How came this?
00:23:10God room's couple sir
00:23:12Corporal have them in a new doublet by nightfall
00:23:14Aye captain
00:23:15Captain
00:23:26Even birds of fine plumage have troubles with feathers do they not captain?
00:23:30Mistress Throgmorton
00:23:32Captain
00:23:44Captain Raleigh
00:23:49Three days since unknown to the court and now captain of the Queen's Guard
00:23:53When red becomes you
00:23:54Though perhaps it serves less purpose than mud stained blue
00:23:57I congratulate you captain
00:23:59My thanks Mistress Throgmorton
00:24:02And you have no cloak with you
00:24:04What a pity
00:24:11Adjutant march them into their posts
00:24:13Sir
00:24:15Mistress Throgmorton
00:24:17Must you bait me thus before the guard?
00:24:19I had no choice in the matter
00:24:20I did not wish to bait you
00:24:21Indeed I pity you
00:24:22You have no ships and the Queen has a new lap dog
00:24:25Dogs bark
00:24:26And if they bark long enough and loud enough they're listened to
00:24:28I shall have my ships
00:24:29Nay but a well fed lap dog barks
00:24:31But gently
00:24:32And you shall feed well captain
00:24:35With a mouth so fair should utter only shooish words
00:24:41It is myself I am angry
00:24:43I had no right to think you the man I thought you were
00:24:47I give you good day captain
00:25:02Let's go
00:25:22Lead him by a length ma'am
00:25:26Now
00:25:28Not too bad ma'am
00:25:29A trifle short
00:25:31Ho
00:25:39Well shot monsieur
00:25:40Very well shot
00:25:42Think you so monsieur
00:25:43But why should that surprise you
00:25:44You French have faced our bowmen before
00:25:46And felt their arrows too
00:25:48It was a fortunate shot ma'am
00:25:50I know your aim Christopher
00:25:51You aimed high didn't you
00:25:53You always have
00:25:55Give me another shot
00:25:57If I may suggest ma'am
00:25:58A little more height might not be amiss
00:26:00Think you so Christopher
00:26:03Think you so Walter
00:26:05You are your father's daughter ma'am
00:26:06Aye and have no need to aim high
00:26:17Oh
00:26:18Did you laugh sirrah
00:26:21Know you then that though my arrow falls short of its mark
00:26:24My kingdom will not
00:26:29I am no Diana aye
00:26:31And the sun is hot on my face
00:26:34Let us all move to a place under the trees
00:26:38Walter
00:26:39You go forward and see that all is prepared
00:26:44The pasties go on that table there
00:26:45The sweetmeats over there
00:26:47Now the queen's footstool
00:26:48Now you bring it over here
00:26:50Are you now minister of the queen's comfort
00:26:53Mistress Throckmorton
00:26:54I am the queen's footstool
00:26:56Mistress Throckmorton
00:26:58Are you now my gadfly
00:27:00Not your conscience surely
00:27:02Do I need a conscience
00:27:03Not you sir not you
00:27:05Believe me in whatever I've done I've not meant to hurt you
00:27:08You have not hurt me sir only yourself
00:27:10And I soothe no wounds such as yours
00:27:12Wounds
00:27:13Of the soul captain
00:27:15I have no such wounds
00:27:16Ah but you have a great one
00:27:18And while you linger in the court it festers
00:27:20The gangrene grows in you captain but you cannot feel it
00:27:23You know wounds captain
00:27:25For a while with shock they are painless
00:27:27And then the hurt begins
00:27:29And the dying man cries out for water where there is no water
00:27:32And for aid where there is no aid
00:27:34You are in the first stage now and the sight is not a pretty one
00:27:38My heart is bitter enough do not pour gall on it
00:27:40Heart your heart
00:27:42Where is it
00:27:43With your ships perchance sailing in the grass of the meadow
00:27:46An invisible heart beating on the deck of an invisible ship
00:27:49Walter
00:27:52All is prepared ma'am
00:27:54It will wait till I am ready
00:27:59There are too many people about me
00:28:01Be off all of you dance if you will
00:28:03But out of my sight for a while
00:28:09No Raleigh not you
00:28:25No Raleigh not you
00:28:34What did you discuss with her
00:28:36Her ma'am
00:28:38Mistress Throgmorton
00:28:40Matters of no purpose
00:28:42Treatment of wounds
00:28:43Nothing more
00:28:45There was some mention of ships that sail in meadows
00:28:48Of their captains
00:28:50Who sit on cushions out of the sun
00:28:52Walter I have commanded you to have no dalliance with ladies of my court
00:28:56As you will ma'am
00:28:58Oh Walter I am heartened out of sorts
00:29:01As you love me speak only gentle words and I will do the same
00:29:06Aye ma'am
00:29:10I read your mind Christopher
00:29:12Do you
00:29:14Then tell me what I plan
00:29:16To clear the view from your window
00:29:20His excellency the ambassador from the court of France
00:29:25Your majesty
00:29:26My lord
00:29:28We are honored monsieur
00:29:30May I compliment you once again madame on this most beautiful palace
00:29:34There is no other like it in all of Europe
00:29:36It was my father's I will tell him when I see him
00:29:39But King Henry is dead
00:29:41Madame jest
00:29:43Madame never jests
00:29:45I think monsieur I know the purpose of this audience
00:29:48You wish to report again that the Duke d'Alençon is enamored of me
00:29:51Ever since he saw you he can talk of nothing else
00:29:54He is a sweet boy but only a boy
00:29:56We have discussed this before
00:29:58But madame this time I am commanded by my queen to return with a definite answer
00:30:02Your queen then thinks to command me
00:30:05No no no I beg of you madame no
00:30:07And so you want a definite answer do you
00:30:09Yes madame
00:30:10Very well I shall give you one
00:30:12Go back to your Catherine de' Medici and tell her I am tired of little French dukes
00:30:17And of old French queens
00:30:19And of ambassadors who laugh when I miss with an arrow
00:30:22And of all Frenchmen in general
00:30:24Go back and tell her that
00:30:26Yes madame
00:30:32That may not be the best policy madame
00:30:34It is I who make the policy of this realm I and I alone
00:30:38Just as I made you
00:30:40They think to wed me to that wheat chin pasty nose gat tooth little monster
00:30:46I have been writing him gentle and loving letters for the past five years
00:30:50And why to keep France on tenterhooks
00:30:52To keep France from turning to Spain
00:30:54That is policy my policy
00:30:57And what is to stop France from turning to Spain now
00:31:00Thank you monsieur we'll go galloping off to Calais
00:31:04No never Christopher he'll be back
00:31:07It will be worth his head to return to France with a report of this interview
00:31:11Catherine hates failures
00:31:13We must still keep her as a friend
00:31:15States have no friends
00:31:17It is also true of people madame
00:31:19Are you friendless Christopher
00:31:21I speak not for myself madame but you
00:31:24Do you know who your friends are and who are your enemies
00:31:27I know who my enemies are
00:31:29All of them madame
00:31:31Well enough to last the day out
00:31:33What are you getting at
00:31:35A rumor has reached my ears madame
00:31:37That there is an Irish lord in your own guard
00:31:40And since we are at war with Ireland
00:31:42Who knows what he plans to murder you
00:31:47And the name of this Irish lord
00:31:50Lord Derry I believe madame
00:31:53Is this true Raleigh
00:31:55There is a Lord Derry in the guard madame yes
00:31:57And he said he is Raleigh's friend
00:31:59Brought with him from Ireland
00:32:00You are most well informed Sir Christopher
00:32:03I would discuss that with you in private
00:32:06With pleasure sir
00:32:07Sit down sir
00:32:08Nay Sir Christopher seems fit to question my honour
00:32:10Sit down blast you
00:32:13What do you mean adding an Irishman to my guard
00:32:16Lord Derry is an honourable gentleman madame
00:32:18Who wishes your majesty naught but happiness
00:32:20Words come toppings a thousand
00:32:22What's in his heart eh
00:32:23Speak what's in his heart
00:32:24No man has done that since God made Adam
00:32:27Well we'll see what's in his heart
00:32:31Arrest him send him to the tower
00:32:33Aye madame
00:32:34You sir
00:32:35No madame not I
00:32:36You cheap jack soldier you
00:32:38How dare you disobey me
00:32:40It's I who brought Lord Derry to this court
00:32:42It's I who take full responsibility for him
00:32:44It is I who will strip you of every honour you have
00:32:47Every bone I've thrown you
00:32:49It is no honour for a man to humble himself
00:32:52And this I've done time out of mind
00:32:54I return such honours gladly
00:33:03Open that door
00:33:06Raleigh
00:33:08You were not called here you came here
00:33:11An out at elbows dissembling rogue
00:33:13Foul for the Irish wars
00:33:15And I took pity on you and allowed you to serve me
00:33:18I wish to serve not you but England
00:33:22Then I find myself in an aviary full of tame birds
00:33:26All England's not confined in the walls of this court
00:33:29But rides proud and free on the bosom of the ocean
00:33:32Bordered only by her destiny and hope
00:33:34Yet while every other nation in Europe
00:33:36Is counting the bows of its ships towards the Indies and beyond
00:33:39We English stand idly by counting our pence
00:33:42But some Englishmen watch the sun and the waves
00:33:45And dream of a future that will shine on England
00:33:47With the brightness of a hundred suns
00:33:50Thank God I'm of their company
00:33:52Thank God you are no longer of mine
00:33:55Out of me sight out of me house
00:34:07Little men, little men
00:34:09You know what you were before I made you what you are
00:34:12Do not gape, sir, or by the rude
00:34:15I'll turn you all out at once
00:34:25Christopher, Robert
00:34:28I feel faint, take me to me chamber
00:34:31I feel faint, take me to me chamber
00:34:54If you've come to whip the Queen's dog more
00:34:56You'll find his dung being whipped
00:35:01I've come to talk to a Devon man
00:35:03The one who lives here and I forgot his birth
00:35:07Where is Lord Derry?
00:35:09Arranging for horses
00:35:11Saying goodbye to some wench
00:35:19Where will you go?
00:35:20Any direction will lead towards the sea
00:35:22My house is in Devonshire, near Plymouth
00:35:24My servants would give you shelter
00:35:27Have you lost your senses, girl?
00:35:29This is a face which would be wiser to forget
00:35:31It is a face that pleases me again
00:35:33Beth
00:35:34Yes, Walter
00:35:35You've chanced much in coming here
00:35:36Much?
00:35:37Perhaps more than you know
00:35:38I came because I wished to
00:35:40I long to stand as close as this
00:35:43How in the moments before sleep I've questioned the colour of those eyes
00:35:46Nay, I've been even bolder in their regard
00:35:48How is one bold in the regard of eyes?
00:35:51I wondered whether when a man presses a kiss on your lips
00:35:55Those heavy lids, do they close?
00:36:00No
00:36:08Well
00:36:10Did they close?
00:36:12I do not know
00:36:17It is nine by the clock
00:36:19And all is well
00:36:26It is nine by the clock
00:36:29And all is well
00:36:32Long live the Queen
00:36:34I must return to the court
00:36:37Having but found each other, we must lose each other
00:36:43How much longer must you serve the Queen?
00:36:45Five years
00:36:46Unless she marries me off
00:36:48Marries you off?
00:36:49I'm her ward, my parents are dead
00:36:52Oh, Walter
00:36:53May I not ride with you tonight?
00:36:55Would you?
00:36:57Beth
00:36:59Would you marry me?
00:37:00Now?
00:37:01There's not a church in London would say the words over us
00:37:04In Queen Mary's day, there were secret marriages aplenty
00:37:08Wait
00:37:13Master innkeeper
00:37:15This is a mad thing we do
00:37:16I cannot
00:37:17No, no, no, sir
00:37:18Come here and bring the serving wench with you
00:37:21There's another lass in need of revenge so much
00:37:23I was to defy the Queen
00:37:25It was you who taught me
00:37:26She may have did, God will not
00:37:28Stand here
00:37:29There's a matter you must witness
00:37:32I, Walter Raleigh, in the name of God and the Reformed Church of England
00:37:35Take thee unto wife, so God be my witness
00:37:38I, Elizabeth Throgmorton
00:37:40In the name of God and the Reformed Church of England
00:37:43Take thee unto a husband
00:37:45So God be my witness
00:37:54Our thanks
00:37:55My lord
00:37:59What was all that about?
00:38:01Some kind of a wedding, I suppose
00:38:03A wedding?
00:38:04Why did you not tell me?
00:38:06I always cry
00:38:17Walter
00:38:19Walter
00:38:21Walter
00:38:23Walter
00:38:25Walter
00:38:26Walter
00:38:29Derry, there's been a change in our plans
00:38:31We'll need another horse
00:38:32Another horse?
00:38:33It'll be hard to get this time of night
00:38:35Derry, we'll have to
00:38:41Who is it?
00:38:42The name of the Queen
00:38:43Open
00:38:50Walter Raleigh
00:38:51We are commanded by the Queen's Majesty to take you hence
00:38:57Thank you
00:39:02Can you give me a moment?
00:39:03We cannot, sir
00:39:04Come at once
00:39:27Files, stand in
00:39:30I would have a word with this man
00:39:32What's happened?
00:39:33There's a lady upstairs
00:39:34See that she gets safely back to the palace
00:39:36Captain Raleigh, if you please
00:39:40Well, march
00:39:57Mistress Throgmorton
00:39:58Derry, where are they taking him?
00:39:59They gave him no time to tell me, either where or why
00:40:01She sent him to the tower
00:40:02Nay, had she wished him there, she'd have sent him this morning when they quarrelled
00:40:05You do not know her
00:40:07Her anger is like some beast
00:40:09She lets it feed all day and then she sets it free to spring
00:40:12She'll have his head, Derry
00:40:13Hold, Mistress Throgmorton
00:40:14Nay, Mistress Raleigh
00:40:17Mistress Raleigh?
00:40:18We were wed this day
00:40:20I must follow him, find him
00:40:22It will serve no purpose
00:40:23I cannot
00:40:24Well, he does
00:40:25Do not complicate matters
00:40:27If the Queen knew that you and Walter were...
00:40:29Well, it would be the worst for him
00:40:31Do as he wishes, return to the palace
00:40:37As you wish
00:40:44Enough, enough
00:40:45But she must be dead
00:40:46Have you not mumbled long enough, good doctors?
00:40:49What latest attack have you planned on this frail body?
00:40:52The blood moves sluggishly, ma'am
00:40:53It is best you be bled, that the strain on the heart be light
00:40:55Then come draw your pint, Master Tapster
00:40:58I have impatient blood
00:41:01Would that all the heart's strain could be eased by bleeding
00:41:05Have they not brought that devil Raleigh here yet?
00:41:08Not yet, Your Majesty
00:41:09The French ambassador waits outside, most unfortunate to see you
00:41:13I told him...
00:41:14Bring him in
00:41:15At such a time?
00:41:16There never was a better
00:41:18Fetch him
00:41:20Yes, sir
00:41:29Your Majesty, had I but known, forgive my unforgivable rudeness
00:41:32I could have knocked my head against the wall
00:41:34To think that I was the cause of your illness
00:41:36I could have hanged myself
00:41:37I am fine
00:41:38I am fine
00:41:39I am fine
00:41:40I am fine
00:41:41I am fine
00:41:42I am fine
00:41:43I am fine
00:41:44I am fine
00:41:45I am fine
00:41:46I am fine
00:41:47I am fine
00:41:48I am fine
00:41:50God made me ill, not you
00:41:53He is bringing me down by degrees
00:41:56Look at me
00:41:57Sick as I am, would you have me wed to that sweet boy?
00:42:03She would be your greatest comfort, Madame
00:42:05Death, Monsieur, will be my greatest comfort
00:42:09No, no, Madame, don't say such things, please
00:42:11We have finished, ma'am
00:42:13And I am nearly finished too
00:42:16Had they saved all the blood they've drawn from me these many years
00:42:20There'd be a Red Sea in England
00:42:23Pray, rest now, ma'am
00:42:26Surgeons are alarmed, are they not, my lord?
00:42:30Gravely alarmed
00:42:31Ah, do not mention the grave, sir
00:42:33No, no, monsieur, do not mention
00:42:35So, monsieur, return to France and tell your queen of my ill health
00:42:40And tell her when I am well again
00:42:44If ever it will be time then to discuss the orders of young D'Alençon
00:42:49Yes, Madame
00:42:50Oh, one thing more, so that Catherine and I may understand each other better
00:42:56I propose we exchange some members of our courts
00:43:00If your queen will be so gracious as to send me four of her courtiers
00:43:05I will be most happy to send her four of mine
00:43:09An excellent proposal
00:43:11Would you wish gentlemen or ladies?
00:43:13It does not matter
00:43:15No, no, no, wait
00:43:17I will send ladies, there are many here
00:43:19Who would see what is worn in France
00:43:22Let Catherine send me gentlemen
00:43:26I will take sheep for Calais tonight, your majesty
00:43:30What is in that box?
00:43:34Oh, it is a present I brought you, a sword
00:43:36I will leave it with the chamberlain
00:43:38No, no, no, I would see it
00:43:40Oh
00:43:43It is not worthy of your majesty's splendor
00:43:49Nay, it is a beautiful thing
00:43:52I thank you from my heart
00:43:54Madame
00:43:55Au revoir, monsieur
00:43:57Your majesty
00:44:11There is policy for you
00:44:13A week from now all France will think I am standing on my coffin
00:44:17And that millstone is off me neck for a good six months
00:44:24How is it that devil Raleigh is not here yet?
00:44:27Let me ask, ma'am
00:44:35He is here, ma'am
00:44:41Your majesty
00:44:43Come you here
00:44:55Well?
00:44:56I did not know you were ill, ma'am
00:44:58Of course not, the plague knows not whom it kills
00:45:01But no matter, no matter
00:45:04Why do you think I have had you brought here?
00:45:08To forgive you
00:45:12Are you not pleased?
00:45:14It will happen again, ma'am
00:45:15Nay, you will never again shout me deaf in my own house
00:45:23Sit down
00:45:38How do I look to you, Walter?
00:45:40Do you like me as you see me?
00:45:43I admire the woman, not the wrappings
00:45:45Admire, you say? Only admire
00:45:48Walter, we had a quarrel, so we had a quarrel
00:45:51Now it is over
00:45:52Hatton should never have accused Lord Derry
00:45:54His only thought was of my safety
00:45:56So has mine been
00:45:57And yet you bring over an Irish cutthroat
00:46:00From the depths of heaven knows what ill-oded bug
00:46:03And make him one of my gods
00:46:06The rapscallion could have slit my throat
00:46:08Had he wished that, he would have done it here now
00:46:12You sound as though you would do it yourself
00:46:15Would you, Walter?
00:46:20Then let it be done
00:46:22Let it be done
00:46:27I am the last man on earth who would do it, ma'am
00:46:31Kiss me, Walter
00:46:43Dear Walter, you are my best physician
00:46:46So long as you do not quarrel with Christopher
00:46:49How can you defend him?
00:46:51He acted not in your interest, but in his own
00:46:53Ambition opened his mouth, jealousy spoke his words for him
00:46:56But you are all ambitious, all jealous
00:46:59Yes, even you
00:47:01If I gave each man in this court everything he wanted
00:47:04I would have to give away half the world
00:47:06And since half the world is not mine to give
00:47:09I give away titles, honors
00:47:11High-sounding, but empty as the air
00:47:14Would you not, too, like a title, Walter?
00:47:17I have done without one all these years, ma'am
00:47:20And I have done without quarrels in my court
00:47:23I...
00:47:24No, I do not command you
00:47:27I implore you, no swordplay with Christopher
00:47:30On your oath
00:47:32It shall be as you say, ma'am
00:47:34On my oath
00:47:35That's better
00:47:37And do not make me planty words, sir
00:47:40I am not well
00:47:43Walter
00:47:45Am I old? Do I look old?
00:47:48Does the moon look old, or the sun?
00:47:51I am talking of Elizabeth Tudor, not suns and moons
00:47:55Answer me truly, Walter
00:47:57Were I forming a new company, ma'am
00:47:59And were you not Queen of England
00:48:01I would have you wielding a broadsword
00:48:03Broadswords are heavy
00:48:05Aye, young men's work
00:48:07There's my blunt soldier
00:48:09You are no smooth-tongued courtier yet
00:48:14Open that box
00:48:22A splendid weapon, ma'am
00:48:24Take it out
00:48:29Try it
00:48:37A splendid weapon indeed
00:48:39It is nicely balanced
00:48:41And finely worked
00:48:50So I shall be in your company
00:48:52You will have me then, Walter
00:48:54You shall fight by my side, ma'am
00:48:56Aye, at your sight
00:48:58But on whom shall I use it?
00:49:02Kneel, Walter
00:49:03Kneel, ma'am? Would you have my head?
00:49:05More than that, man, more than that
00:49:07On your knee
00:49:14I, Elizabeth Tudor, by the grace of God, Queen of England
00:49:18Do dub thee knight
00:49:21Arise, Sir Walter Raleigh
00:49:24But, ma'am
00:49:26You are still not pleased
00:49:28You said yourself, ma'am
00:49:30Honours are as empty as the air
00:49:32Aye, so they are
00:49:35But the words you spoke to me in rage were not
00:49:38They were honest words and wise ones
00:49:40And they still ring in my head
00:49:44But I will please you yet, Walter
00:49:47I cannot give you three ships
00:49:50But one you shall have
00:50:05And now, Sir Walter Raleigh
00:50:08To the court
00:50:18To the court
00:50:32By command of Her Majesty
00:50:34The knight, Sir Walter Raleigh
00:50:48Ma'am
00:51:14Beth
00:51:15Well, Sir
00:51:16Are you ready to ride now?
00:51:18Beth, listen
00:51:19She gave me a ship
00:51:21Only one when you asked for three
00:51:23Faith, you sell your favours cheaply
00:51:25Oh, not as cheaply as I
00:51:27These are strange words from my wife
00:51:29Your wife
00:51:30And did you defy her again?
00:51:32Did you tell her we were wed?
00:51:33Beth, she's ill
00:51:34I could not defy her on her sickbed
00:51:36I'm not your wife
00:51:37I'm the shadow of a wife
00:51:39A woman chastened into a travesty of marriage
00:51:41The marriage is a true one
00:51:43How can such a master of guile speak of truth?
00:51:46How did you soften her?
00:51:48Did you use the same words that softened me?
00:51:50You know not of what passed between us
00:51:52Heaven forbid that I ever should
00:51:54To think this was the man whose very life I prayed for
00:51:57When they took him away
00:51:59A man, indeed
00:52:01A whip-dog licking the hand of its mistress
00:52:03Don't go too far, girl
00:52:05I've come to the end
00:52:07You have your ships
00:52:08But you no longer have me
00:52:10Take yourself off, sire
00:52:12I will
00:52:13And never see you more
00:52:23Sir Walter
00:52:25Tis not often one can talk to a knight so newly minted
00:52:28I wish no words with you, sir
00:52:30Ah, but now that we are equals
00:52:32I wish words with you
00:52:34You said in council I questioned your honour
00:52:37I do not remember what I said in council
00:52:39Then let me improve your memory
00:52:43I still question your honour
00:53:03This day, Sir Walter Riley sets forth for Plymouth
00:53:07O merciful God
00:53:09We crave thy blessing on each step of his venture
00:53:12May he have thy guidance in the preparation of his ship
00:53:16May he build it strong and seaworthy
00:53:19Thou knowest the dreadful dangers of the deep
00:53:22The storms that rise, the whirlpools that engulf
00:53:25The monsters that dwell below
00:53:27The peril of the Spanish ships
00:53:30Thou knowest the giant waves that mount
00:53:33As you have said, my Lord Bishop
00:53:35God knows these things. He needs no remembrance, sir
00:53:39And my knees are weary
00:53:42Upon Sir Walter Riley and his undertaking
00:53:44Thy blessing, O merciful God. Amen
00:53:46Amen
00:53:47Amen
00:53:57Walter
00:54:01The time has come to make my adieu, madame
00:54:03Your dream is a dream no longer
00:54:06And yet you seem to show no joy
00:54:10I have much on my mind, madame
00:54:11I have seen the plans of the Golden Falcon
00:54:13There are many changes to be made in her
00:54:15How long will it be in the making?
00:54:17Six weeks, at least
00:54:18And then the sea
00:54:20The sea, the storms and the months of voyaging
00:54:25When will I look upon you next, Walter?
00:54:28That's in God's hands, madame
00:54:30I thank your majesty for opportunity
00:54:32Granted to no other man
00:54:38I have no taste for partings
00:54:55You have given me much joy, madame
00:55:11I have the highest hopes of this adventure, madame
00:55:14Adventure?
00:55:16Why must Riley go?
00:55:19It is his dearest passion, madame
00:55:21Adventure is for the brainless
00:55:24Or should be
00:55:36Mr. Bradmoreton?
00:55:51The Golden Falcon is a stout vessel, sir Walter
00:55:53I doubt if you'd find better
00:55:55She's not what I would have designed myself, Master Randall
00:55:57But with these alterations
00:55:58She should be the equal of any craft to float
00:56:00Aye
00:56:01Now, first the rigging
00:56:02She carries no two gallons, rigger for them
00:56:04Aye
00:56:05She also lacks span on the fore and main
00:56:07Add yet another full score yard of sail to each
00:56:09With that much canvas, sir Walter
00:56:11A blow might pull the sticks right out of her
00:56:13I think not
00:56:14Mark his words well, Master Randall
00:56:16He comes from a long line of seafarers
00:56:18When Noah brought the animals into the ark
00:56:20There were two rallies among them
00:56:22Now, as to the gun ports
00:56:23I want fourteen a beam
00:56:25And add space for a pair of forechasers as well
00:56:28Aye, sir
00:56:32Our passions are most like to floods and streams
00:56:36The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb
00:56:39So when affections yield discourse
00:56:41It seems the bottom is but shallow whence they come
00:56:45Our rich in words must need to discover
00:56:48That they are poor in that which makes a lover
00:56:52You know the poem, ma'am?
00:56:54Aye
00:56:55But the volume was just this day published
00:56:57Sir Walter wrote the poem in my presence
00:57:00Sir Walter, a poet?
00:57:02I did not know
00:57:04I am aware of many things about sir Walter
00:57:06That are not common knowledge
00:57:09He has a delicate touch with a line
00:57:13He has a delicate touch with a line
00:57:15It is a pity he will soon be at sea
00:57:17And with no more time to write verses
00:57:19Do not sigh, Christopher
00:57:21There can be no funeral without a corpse
00:57:24None?
00:57:26Sir Walter will not sail
00:57:27He will return here to be with me
00:57:32Take care how you treat your queen's possessions
00:57:35Mr. Strugmore
00:57:37I'm sorry, ma'am
00:57:38Are you well?
00:57:40Your face looks drawn
00:57:41Quite well, thank you, ma'am
00:57:43I had been told you fainted in chapel Sunday last
00:57:47It was nothing, ma'am
00:57:49True, Christopher
00:57:50I toyed with the idea of letting sir Walter go voyaging off
00:57:54But I missed the road
00:57:55He tests me metal
00:57:57Is he aware of this change in fortune, ma'am?
00:58:00He will be, by degrees
00:58:03Aye, sir Walter will remain here with me
00:58:06But there are others who will go
00:58:09Ma'am?
00:58:11Fear not, Christopher
00:58:13It is of the ladies I speak
00:58:16I am sending you all to the French court
00:58:19To Sir Catherine de' Medici
00:58:21For how long, ma'am?
00:58:22For two years at least, perhaps more
00:58:25Should Catherine wish to keep you
00:58:28Aye, soon all me pretty birds will have flown
00:58:41Did you hear the poor ones?
00:58:43Catherine de' Medici
00:58:59Ease the strain on that mainstay, it is overtaut
00:59:01Aye, master
00:59:02Ah, Captain
00:59:04Corporal Gwillam, what brings you to Plymouth?
00:59:06A letter from the Queen, I bear, Captain
00:59:07By her own handwritten
00:59:08Well, Gwillam, do all the little Colleens in London miss me?
00:59:11Ah, lying I would be if I denied it
00:59:13Every Whitechapel wench is weepy
00:59:16You can float up the Thames on their tears then
00:59:19When finished here, we're commanded to sail to London
00:59:21Get our cannons mounted
00:59:23Two weeks wasted
00:59:27What other news from the palace?
00:59:29Oh, not at the moment, the ordinary
00:59:31The Queen is sending her ladies-in-waiting to the French court for two years
00:59:35All four of them?
00:59:36Ah, there's a bit of gossip I forgot
00:59:38There may be five souls who will sail
00:59:41Before what's been whispered by the kitchen maids comes true
00:59:43What are the kitchen maids whispering?
00:59:45Why, why, faith that one of the ladies-in-waiting is...
00:59:50Beasts we men are, bless us
00:59:52Which one is it?
00:59:53I was told
00:59:56But the name escapes me, a poor memory for names I have
01:00:00Does the Queen not know?
01:00:01Not as yet, Captain dear
01:00:03But you can no more keep a secret in the court, man
01:00:05And you can stop the rain from falling
01:00:07And dark will the poor lass's day be when her secret reaches the ears of the Queen
01:00:11Are they all still at the palace?
01:00:12Off to their homes they've gone, to bid their families goodbye
01:00:15A good, good week ago it was, as I remember
01:00:20Well, if you too have troubles, drink of away with this
01:00:24Ah, thank you, Captain Bach
01:00:27I will find troubles I did not know I had
01:00:36So what a rally, to see Mistress Throckmorton
01:00:39A moment, sir
01:01:06Sorry, sir, Mistress Throckmorton refuses to see you
01:01:18Beth
01:01:19I said I did not wish to see you
01:01:24Dame Bragg instructed me in manners
01:01:26Clearly you had no such teaching
01:01:28Please go
01:01:29Should the Queen know you had ridden here, it would do your plans no good
01:01:32It is said that you ladies of the court are being sent off to France
01:01:35Such is the Queen's command
01:01:37Be off, please
01:01:40Is Mistress Throckmorton all prepared to sail?
01:01:42But she's not going
01:01:45You choose to disobey the Queen?
01:01:47Yes
01:01:48I am weary of court, it is no concern of yours
01:01:52Leave us
01:01:55Leave us
01:02:03If what I believe is true, it is very deeply my concern
01:02:06I do not know what you believe
01:02:08I bid you a good day
01:02:18Court gossip says you are with child
01:02:22So the tongues have begun to clatter
01:02:24Let them
01:02:25Is it true?
01:02:27Does it matter?
01:02:29Let them
01:02:30Is it true?
01:02:31Does the Queen's favourite wish reassurance that he will not be involved?
01:02:35I give it gladly
01:02:36Is that what you think is my concern?
01:02:38I am not a betrayed milkmaid, whining for help, begging for pity
01:02:42Your name will never cross my lips
01:02:45Beth
01:02:47Beth, I've never loved you more than I do at this moment
01:02:49Do not speak again of love
01:02:51I shall never stop with you
01:02:52Nay, go your own way, you owe me nothing
01:02:55We owe each other everything, our love, our child, the rest of our lives together
01:03:00Before God, girl, you'll do nothing more alone
01:03:11When does the Queen expect you back at court?
01:03:13In three weeks
01:03:14Three weeks, not much time
01:03:16But it can be done
01:03:18Look you, my ship must sail to London to have her guns mounted
01:03:22Nay, Walt, it is but a ruse
01:03:23The Queen plans to keep you with her, I heard her say so
01:03:25Did she now?
01:03:26Ah, then the game gets all the better
01:03:28What would you say if in three weeks' time the Golden Falcon sailed due west with you and me aboard?
01:03:34For the new world?
01:03:35For our new world, our new universe
01:03:38Beth, will you go?
01:03:40Though every ship in England barred the way
01:03:47Walter, it is good to see you
01:03:48Bless you, if you hadn't returned tonight I was going to look for you myself
01:03:51Is all well?
01:03:52Aye, well and better than well
01:03:53Your tailor?
01:03:54At times
01:03:56This is the bed, Master Carpenter
01:03:58I want it twice as wide, well slatted, and I want the finest grained oak
01:04:01A rare job I'll do, sir
01:04:03I've manufactured tools and set to work
01:04:04Aye, sir
01:04:05Your plan to sprawl tonight
01:04:07That you need such a great bed
01:04:09Yesterday, before a cleric at the altar, we repeated our vows
01:04:12Tis now a marriage doubly sealed
01:04:16You'd best be about some other business, sweet honey dove
01:04:18Such words as marriage mustn't sully such innocent ears
01:04:21It is a dangerous thing you do
01:04:23The outfitting of the ship must be speeded
01:04:25In three weeks we sail for the new world
01:04:27Avoiding London, direct from Plymouth
01:04:29Gently, Walter, gently
01:04:31Have you thought what will happen when the Queen learns
01:04:33Not only that you're wed, but that you've stolen the ship as well
01:04:35Her rage will shame the devil himself
01:04:37It will pass as all her rages have passed
01:04:39Elizabeth has a hunger for gold, a miser's hunger
01:04:42I'll get it and lay it before her feet
01:04:44You mean you'll return after these sins of yours?
01:04:47When the Queen sees what I bring with me, she'll forgive them all
01:04:49Aye, if you return with all of the new world in tow
01:04:52And anchor at Old Land's End
01:04:54Adventure seems too dangerous for you
01:04:56You've no reason to come
01:04:58I've shared your miseries
01:05:00I may as well share your joys
01:05:20Your men have surpassed themselves, Master Randall
01:05:22Aye, I've kept them hopping
01:05:24Did you arrange about the watercast?
01:05:26I'll be ready in ten days at the latest
01:05:28Yes, sir
01:05:29There's a powder pigeon from Cork waiting for you in your cabin
01:05:32Thank you, Master Randall
01:05:34Yes, sir
01:05:41Good morrow to you, sir
01:05:43Good morrow to you, too
01:05:46Good morrow to you, Sir Walter
01:05:48Lord Derry
01:05:52What brings you here, Master Chadwick?
01:05:54The Queen's business, Sir Walter
01:05:56Which, of course, is your business as well
01:05:59She sends you this
01:06:16Am I to wear it?
01:06:17Nay, there is a letter, too
01:06:37Convey my warmest thanks and deepest appreciation to Her Majesty
01:06:40Not having heard from you since you left London
01:06:43Her Majesty has exercised to know when she may expect you
01:06:46Ordinarily, it takes three days sailing from here to London
01:06:50Pray tell her that the time it takes me to get there will surprise her
01:06:53From my soul, I can believe it
01:06:55I've never seen such busy workmen as yours
01:06:59Do you stay in Plymouth, Master Chadwick?
01:07:01Nay, I ride to London at once
01:07:03The Queen does not wish to wait a word from you
01:07:06With your permission, Sir Walter
01:07:08Lord Derry
01:07:14Do you think he noticed the bed?
01:07:16By the time Odd can come of it, we shall have been long at sea
01:07:27What more leaves my name?
01:07:29These are all for the day, ma'am
01:07:31But Master Chadwick has returned from Plymouth
01:07:33And he and Sir Christopher Hatton await audience with you
01:07:36Why do you not say so before?
01:07:39Remain where you are, ladies
01:07:41I can find me own way about me own house
01:07:49You do not seem travel-stained, Master Chadwick
01:07:51You must ride a high horse
01:07:52I changed from my riding clothes, Your Majesty
01:07:54Before I ventured into your presence
01:07:56Faith, I would not care if you came to me in rags
01:07:58So long as you bring me good tidings
01:08:01I bring you strange tidings, ma'am
01:08:03If not else
01:08:04Gave you so what?
01:08:07Gave you, Sir Walter, my scarf and my letter?
01:08:09Aye, ma'am
01:08:10And he took the scarf and read the letter
01:08:12And told me to thank you
01:08:13And he sent no letter to me?
01:08:15Nay, ma'am, but when I asked him when he would be in London
01:08:17He replied that the time it would take him to get here
01:08:19Would be a surprise to you
01:08:21Ah, then he is in haste to return
01:08:23What is strange in that?
01:08:25He is in greater haste than any man ever was before
01:08:28The most unhealthy haste, Your Majesty
01:08:30Chadwick tells me that he is working his men
01:08:32As though each had four arms
01:08:34But Christopher, why has Master Chadwick
01:08:36Been in such great pains to discuss the matter with you?
01:08:39Because he did not know how to approach you, ma'am
01:08:42Approach me with what?
01:08:44The strange thing is, ma'am
01:08:46Sir Walter has built a fine bed in his cabin
01:08:49So, so, the rogue likes his comforts
01:08:53It is not the bed of a single man
01:08:57Are you accusing Sir Walter of...
01:09:00Of...
01:09:01I am merely stating two facts, ma'am
01:09:03The fact of a great haste in shipbuilding
01:09:05And the fact of a great bed in his cabin
01:09:08Add to these one other element
01:09:10And fancy can take the whole thing over
01:09:18What...
01:09:19Other element?
01:09:21Near Plymouth, a lady of this court
01:09:24Is even now preparing herself
01:09:26For her trip to France
01:09:28She has little time
01:09:30Has she chosen the captain to take her there?
01:09:33Or beyond?
01:09:35You spend a woman's honor with great ease, Christopher
01:09:38I try to save a woman's pride
01:09:41And it is most difficult
01:09:43And most thankless
01:09:47What are you trying to tell me?
01:09:51That Sir Walter Raleigh has taken himself a wife
01:10:01All devils do not dwell in darkness, do they, Christopher?
01:10:05Nay, ma'am
01:10:07Some of them bask in ocean sunlight
01:10:09And call themselves devin men
01:10:30The Captain of the Ship
01:10:48Where's the captain?
01:10:49The captain of the ship or the captain of the godship?
01:10:51Captain of the ship, make haste, sailor
01:10:53Aye, sir
01:10:57Where you going?
01:10:58I was ordered to fetch you
01:10:59You are to leave your post.
01:11:00Aye, sir.
01:11:05Welcome to the Golden Falcon, Sir Christopher.
01:11:07Is it pleasure that brings you here, or duty?
01:11:09Both, Irishman.
01:11:20I'll inform Sir Walter of your presence.
01:11:30Hatton's above.
01:11:31With your death in his hands.
01:11:32Hatton? Alone?
01:11:33Ten men he has, and a warrant from the Queen,
01:11:35signed and sealed, to bring your prisoner to London.
01:11:37There's only one thing to do.
01:11:39Over the side and back to Ireland.
01:11:41What of Beth?
01:11:42It's yourself they're after.
01:11:43You fetch her and take her to Ireland.
01:11:45I'll delay them long enough to give you a league start.
01:11:47I'll delay them. You go.
01:11:48It'll take an Irishman to smuggle her into Ireland.
01:11:51Make haste.
01:11:52I know not how long I can hold them.
01:11:58Which is the captain's cabin?
01:11:59The Queen's messenger does not wait.
01:12:06Lord Derry came with some silly joke.
01:12:08It's a joke.
01:12:09It's a joke.
01:12:10It's a joke.
01:12:11It's a joke.
01:12:12It's a joke.
01:12:13It's a joke.
01:12:14It's a joke.
01:12:15It's a joke.
01:12:16It's a joke.
01:12:17It's a joke.
01:12:18It's a joke.
01:12:19Lord Derry came with some silly jest.
01:12:21I threw him out of my cabin.
01:12:23Would you call this a jest, sir?
01:12:32No, I would not.
01:12:34I'd call it a forgery.
01:12:36The Queen's hand, the Royal Seal, a forgery?
01:12:39There is one courtier who has access to the Royal Seal.
01:12:43I was sent here to demand your sword.
01:12:46You won't have it long enough to answer me for that offence.
01:12:49I will not cross swords with you.
01:12:51I gave my word to the Queen.
01:12:53So that's it, is it?
01:12:54You hide behind a woman's skirts.
01:12:58Does your vow include this?
01:13:07Five men to back you, you're very brave.
01:13:16I swore never to draw a blade against you.
01:13:19I took no oath concerning my hands.
01:13:24So it's your hands.
01:13:25It makes no difference.
01:13:46Run.
01:14:16Come on.
01:14:33Take him.
01:14:42Get Cass the Irishman too.
01:14:44Search his ship.
01:14:45If he's not aboard, search Plymouth and all the highways.
01:14:48Aye.
01:15:06Is all well with you?
01:15:08All is well. My skirt was caught in the stirrup.
01:15:11Stop looking at me with such worried eyes.
01:15:13My mother went pleasure-riding the day before I was born.
01:15:15It's not that I was worried about.
01:15:17Look.
01:15:22Hide a hand. Hide a wreath for Ellie.
01:15:24A man named Cahoolan.
01:15:36Catch the girl.
01:15:43Come on.
01:15:44Come on.
01:15:45Come on.
01:15:46Come on.
01:15:47Come on.
01:16:12That an English sword should reach this back of mine.
01:16:17Not on a Friday too.
01:16:21Don't die on a Friday.
01:16:24They always say to me,
01:16:26it's bad luck for you.
01:16:29Daddy.
01:16:37My luck's not so bad.
01:16:40The sun's shining.
01:16:43The beauty herself
01:16:45is betting over me.
01:16:55You are under arrest.
01:16:57We will start for London.
01:17:10We have taken the Throgmorton, Minx,
01:17:12and form Lord Christopher Hatton.
01:17:14He rests at Lambeth this night.
01:17:15Lord Lester.
01:17:17Birth child.
01:17:18They've killed Derry. What of my husband?
01:17:21He is in the tower and condemned to die.
01:17:23I have reasoned with the Queen as best I could.
01:17:26I've enlisted the help of Canterbury
01:17:28and of the Duke, your uncle.
01:17:29What can I do?
01:17:30Nothing.
01:17:31Sleep.
01:17:33Try to be strong for tomorrow.
01:17:35Pray.
01:17:37In prayer lies all your hope.
01:17:39We ride on to the tower.
01:17:41This weary girl,
01:17:42she can sleep in her own room tonight under guard.
01:17:45This is my prisoner.
01:17:46Do you wish to question my authority?
01:17:48Nay, Lord Lester.
01:17:51Show them the way, Beth.
01:17:52Thank you, my Lord.
01:18:07Blitz and steal, quickly.
01:18:13Shut the window.
01:18:21Where is she?
01:18:36Madam, who is it?
01:18:39Who is it?
01:18:41Lady Raleigh.
01:18:51You come to plead your husband's life?
01:18:55Is your Majesty all right? It was fear that...
01:18:57There is no cause for fear.
01:18:58Close the door.
01:19:01Your husband is a traitor, Lady Raleigh.
01:19:03By his own admission, he planned to take a ship of mine
01:19:06to sail it forth.
01:19:07He meant to use it for your Majesty's own purposes.
01:19:11Is the taking of a ship, in truth,
01:19:13the treachery with which he is to pay with his life?
01:19:16You mean I take his head because you took his heart.
01:19:20Though that were treachery, too, on both your parts.
01:19:24His dirty little lovemaking with a girl who owed me loyalty.
01:19:28Is that reason enough for a man to die?
01:19:31It is reason enough for two to die, Raleigh and his wench.
01:19:34We have hired a new Flemish headsman from Rotterdam.
01:19:37He'll be here by Wednesday next.
01:19:40Even the Queen of England cannot send me to that death on Wednesday next.
01:19:45You will have to wait some months, your Majesty.
01:19:48Such is the law.
01:19:50Some months? What nonsense is this?
01:19:53Two are past, seven are yet to go.
01:19:57It is a law older than the rule of the Tudors.
01:19:59So you plead your belly.
01:20:03If you kill Walter Raleigh, you rob an English subject of a father.
01:20:08And why do you do this wrong to a child?
01:20:11From jealousy.
01:20:13Is that worthy of the Queen's Majesty?
01:20:18Jealousy.
01:20:20You have been, my lady, in waiting.
01:20:23You have drawn these bed hangings every night.
01:20:25Bring that light, girl.
01:20:34Let me show you what they hid.
01:20:45Twenty years since a fever took my hair.
01:20:48Do you know what fever is?
01:20:51Twenty years since a fever took my hair.
01:20:55Do you think I've ever put myself on the list against pretty faces and empty heads?
01:21:01I am Elizabeth Tudor. Men have loved me.
01:21:05Not with the dandling love you toss a white kitten.
01:21:08But men have loved me because I struck sparks from their minds.
01:21:13I matched spirit with spirit.
01:21:16Walter Raleigh was one.
01:21:17But it is I who carry his child.
01:21:20Be very proud.
01:21:25When I was eighteen, my physicians told me I could never bear a child.
01:21:31I am glad. England was child enough for me.
01:21:37Take this strumpet away.
01:21:40Take her away!
01:21:42Take her away!
01:21:47Take her away!
01:22:17Sir Walter Raleigh. Her Majesty the Queen.
01:22:23Rise.
01:22:26I want to look straight in your eyes.
01:22:29The eyes of a man who fawned upon me, wheedled a ship from me.
01:22:33Between the kisses he was wheedling from one of my wenches.
01:22:37Did she sometimes stand behind me, Walter, and look love upon you,
01:22:42whilst you prated to me about top gallons and mizzenmusts?
01:22:44That she did not, I swear. Nor could I have seen her.
01:22:47It will seem strange to you now, but it is true.
01:22:50Always I was blinded with the fascination of the Queen's Majesty.
01:22:53The fascination of the Queen's treasury?
01:22:55I could ill afford to give you a ship.
01:22:57She cost me half a gain more than you said.
01:22:59You could afford a dozen like it, ma'am.
01:23:01And do so, I beg you.
01:23:04What's it to you, man? You'll be dead.
01:23:07The ship won't be. The fairest yet to ride on water.
01:23:09There's a navigator aboard. His name is Barlow. Let him sail her.
01:23:11He has the feel of her at his fingertips.
01:23:13He'll bring back the wealth that I would have brought you.
01:23:15He'll claim that share of the world this little island needs.
01:23:18I had thought to find you thinking only of death, Throgmorton.
01:23:23Lady Raleigh has but one chance of your forgiveness.
01:23:26As has the child.
01:23:28A cargo of gold such as has never been seen before.
01:23:30With that in your pocket, you'll forget a dead man whose eye wandered...
01:23:33Ah!
01:23:35May I see her, ma'am?
01:23:37Before they lead me down to the...
01:23:38the parting place.
01:23:40No, I'll not pender for you.
01:23:42I'll see the child is properly cared for.
01:23:46Aunt Beth.
01:23:48Oh, that look.
01:23:50That tender look.
01:23:52Once she's had her brat, she'll follow you.
01:23:54The axe will still be sharp.
01:23:56You have often bade me leave your presence.
01:23:59I bid you now to leave mine.
01:24:01On what authority?
01:24:03Dead men have authority.
01:24:05And I am one.
01:24:07Walter.
01:24:09Walter, I needed you and you betrayed me.
01:24:13I loved you, madam.
01:24:15I loved you as a man loves a great queen.
01:24:18It's that love you betrayed.
01:24:20But I'm also a woman.
01:24:22A woman not too young.
01:24:24Oh, madam.
01:24:26Madam.
01:24:36Madam.
01:24:57I will not be served by underlings.
01:25:00You shall sail the ship yourself.
01:25:03Aye.
01:25:04You nor the slut you married.
01:25:07I want the world, you promise me.
01:25:11And I don't want to dream of a brat crying
01:25:15as I dreamt last night.
01:25:18I was once a brat crying
01:25:21because of the headsman's axe.
01:25:27Those cargoes you bring back
01:25:30had best be rich and rich and rich.
01:25:35Long live Elizabeth.
01:25:37God save the queen.
01:25:57I am not done yet, nor will I be,
01:26:00and I will not be.
01:26:01I am not done yet,
01:26:03nor will I be an hour hence.
01:26:05The golden falcon's starting down the Thames, ma'am.
01:26:08I had not fought her nailed to the wharf.
01:26:10Come, look.
01:26:12I have seen ships before.
01:26:14Something about this ship
01:26:16might please you, ma'am.
01:26:32You think to pleasure me with such a sight?
01:26:35Raise the glass higher, ma'am.
01:27:02Two months have passed and seven are yet to run.
01:27:07A puking wench and some waves.
01:27:15I must go on with the business of state.
01:27:31Good night.
