00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,200
This programme contains some
strong language

2
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,240
GARDINER: So who was the murderer?

3
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,360
WRIOTHESLEY: You are seriously
accusing Lord Cromwell?

4
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,680
NORFOLK: He was no lord
in those days.

5
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:39,200
<font color="

6
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,960
We're better off without cardinals

7
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,440
and proud old prelates
such as we used to have.

8
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,040
Now the archbishop here -

9
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,240
at least he conducts himself
humble-wise.

10
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,640
You can tell by his countenance
<font color="

11
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,320
instead of browbeating noblemen,
plotting their downfall,

12
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,360
wrangling and cheating
and embezzling,

13
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,120
all of which were daily proceedings

14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,680
with Cardinal Thomas Wolsey.
My Lord Norfolk, your...

15
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,040
<font color="
to positions of trust,

16
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,120
soliciting bribes, falsifying deeds,
bullying his betters,

17
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,640
consorting with conjurers,

18
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,040
and generally thieving, lying
and cheating,

19
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,480
all to the detriment and ruin
of the commonweal

20
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,560
<font color="

21
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,280
For shame, Thomas!

22
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,640
He's an old man.

23
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,280
NORFOLK CHOKES

24
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,920
Anne of Cleves, Majesty.

25
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,160
Hmm.

26
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,560
And this is how she stood
before you?

27
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,960
Yes. As she is.

28
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,280
Well, look, my Lord Norfolk,
<font color="

29
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,640
Mm.

30
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,160
Tell me about her.

31
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,320
One...

32
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,120
She was brought up piously.

33
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,840
I believe she speaks no language
but her own.

34
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,080
Not even French?

35
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,360
Well, our envoys
say she has a good wit,

36
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,960
<font color="
she will learn our tongue

37
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,400
as soon as she puts her mind to it.

38
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,880
And of course, we will be able
to make music together.

39
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,320
If she does not know the words
to English songs,

40
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,960
I'm sure she will know them
in other tongues.

41
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,320
<font color="

42
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,320
great ladies do not have
music masters, sir.

43
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,240
A lady there would lose
her good name by singing,

44
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,760
or dancing. Oh.

45
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,920
Then what shall we do after supper?

46
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:46,440
NORFOLK: Drink?

47
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,240
<font color="
the Germans. They are known for it.

48
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,600
They say the same of the English.

49
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,480
My wife and I will hunt.

50
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,240
We will enjoy the pleasures
of the chase together.

51
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,280
What?

52
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,840
I believe she rides.

53
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,120
I am not sure she shoots.

54
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,080
<font color="

55
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,640
What do they do all day? Sew?

56
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:12,920
And pray.

57
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:15,640
LAUGHTER

58
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:19,280
By God, she'll be grateful for you
for taking her out of that place.

59
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,040
Yes, she will.

60
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,920
Her life must have been a trial,
bless her.

61
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:28,920
<font color="
quite different.

62
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,960
NORFOLK: Cromwell!

63
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,800
Come, my lords.

64
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,760
This will not do.
Shake hands like Christian men.

65
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,320
On the subject of Christians,

66
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,080
your man Riche -

67
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,880
Chancellor of Augmentations,
<font color="

68
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,000
says that Thetford Priory
will go down.

69
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,760
It will not go down, sir,

70
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,640
because the priests of the priory

71
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,200
pray for the souls of my ancestors
who are buried there,

72
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,080
and they will pray for them
as long as this world endures.

73
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,760
<font color="
Tell him, will you?

74
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:38,480
As long as this world endures.

75
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,160
That's a lot of prayers, my lord.

76
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,040
That's a lot of prayers.

77
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,720
It will be conveyed to the Lady Anna
by the straightest route,

78
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,640
Your Majesty. She has already begun
<font color="

79
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:04,240
Her cousin.

80
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,280
The Duke of Bavaria.

81
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:13,360
It appears to me that our friendship
with the German states

82
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,840
might be further strengthened
if we made a match

83
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:17,240
between him and Mary.

84
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,560
If I have to sacrifice myself
<font color="

85
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,400
cannot my daughter?

86
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,440
If I am to breed for the nation,
why cannot she?

87
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,880
MUSIC PLAYING ON VIRGINAL

88
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,680
My lady, Cromwell is here.

89
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,880
PLAYING CONTINUES

90
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,960
PLAYING ENDS

91
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,120
Duke Philip of Bavaria, my lady.

92
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,200
<font color="

93
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,400
With a view to what?

94
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,960
With a view to marriage.

95
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,040
Duke Philip is a well-made man.

96
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,440
Fair, dark eyes.

97
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,240
Not unlike your lady mother's
colouring.

98
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,520
That does not weigh.

99
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,360
And he's no Lutheran.
<font color="

100
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,120
I never let anyone
tell me anything, my lord.

101
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,640
What we can't have
is any late retraction.

102
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,120
You say yes, you'll meet him,

103
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,680
and then at the last minute,
you say no.

104
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:37,640
That would embarrass the King.

105
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,800
<font color="

106
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:40,880
No.

107
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,760
Yes, it would leave him embarrassed.

108
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,480
No, I would not do it.

109
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,240
I have sworn to be obedient,
as you so often remind me.

110
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,720
Well, the King is a tender father.

111
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,720
He would never force you into a
marriage with a man you cannot love.

112
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,360
<font color="
out of marriage

113
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,360
to a man she swore
she would die for.

114
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,240
Philip has told the King
he will make no demands.

115
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,600
He takes you for friendship's sake,
to further the alliance.

116
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,720
SHE BEGINS PLAYING

117
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,000
<font color="

118
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,480
Only German.

119
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,280
Others will interpret.

120
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,360
SHE STOPS PLAYING

121
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:00,440
INDISTINCT CONVERSATION

122
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,480
HENRY: She permitted it?
CROMWELL: She did.

123
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,800
Which is a good sign, by God.

124
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,920
She never permitted
<font color="

125
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,520
You have not the rank.

126
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:45,200
I am assured by Cromwell
that she will be conformable.

127
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,640
He always gives me that assurance,
yet nothing ever comes of it.

128
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,320
Lady Mary will do
as you command, sire.

129
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,800
She's given me that assurance.
<font color="

130
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,840
..they are claiming the marriage
is made against her will.

131
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,120
They think I would enforce her?
Yes.

132
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,960
I just... I wonder if it's wise...

133
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,640
..to let her leave the kingdom,
sire.

134
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,400
The Emperor still threatens
<font color="

135
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,200
If the Duke should fall,

136
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,240
Mary will always be a rallying point
for your enemies.

137
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,080
You see, Your Majesty?
Your daughter will never marry.

138
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,200
Cromwell breaks every match
proposed for her.

139
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:39,800
I wonder why.

140
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,880
<font color="
overland to Calais.

141
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,440
I want you there with Fitzwilliam
when she arrives,

142
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,680
paying reverence on my behalf.

143
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:56,280
In Calais?

144
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,440
Am I to cross? Mm-hm.
Write to me the minute you see her.

145
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,840
<font color="

146
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,040
Be kind. Be patient, Gregory.

147
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,840
Make sure she has the things
that she likes to eat.

148
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,760
She'll want ready money. I'll give
you a purse of 50 sovereigns.

149
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,440
And do not embark for home

150
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,160
without checking that all
<font color="

151
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,360
I want Anna looking to us
for anything she needs. Company...

152
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:26,240
Excuse me. My, um, head aches.

153
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,320
What's that? He's jealous.

154
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,400
He wishes you would send him
to Calais, not me.

155
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,280
Why would you?

156
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,640
<font color="

157
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,720
No, he's like a son.

158
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,120
He's anxious to please you.

159
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,080
Give him a kind word, Father.

160
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,200
This pretended alliance
between France and the Emperor.

161
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,600
Neither man dare turn his back
on the other.

162
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,520
It is not friendship,
<font color="

163
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,840
All the same,
their league has endured

164
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,600
longer than we could imagine.

165
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,040
We have few friends in either court.

166
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,120
You especially.

167
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,960
You have few friends, Cromwell.

168
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,560
If my service has incurred
their malice, I count it well.

169
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:45,120
<font color="

170
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:48,160
Are you sure about that?

171
00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:53,120
I think it is because of
what you are.

172
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,720
They don't know
how to deal with you.

173
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,280
Likely not.

174
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,600
Your Majesty must realise...

175
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,720
..they want me displaced
<font color="

176
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,320
may be the worse advised.

177
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,080
That's why they poison your mind
against me.

178
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,680
So...

179
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,760
..you would recommend...

180
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,360
..if I hear you have exceeded
your office,

181
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:29,920
or that you have slacked
<font color="

182
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,280
that I should ignore the rumour?

183
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,320
I would recommend you talk to me
before you believe anything.

184
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,360
It is a long time now
since I first saw you, Tom.

185
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,440
It is.

186
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,520
More than ten years, sire.

187
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,480
<font color="

188
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,760
I remember our first interview.

189
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,800
Suffolk did not know
what to make of you.

190
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,760
I knew, though.

191
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,240
I saw your sharp little eyes.

192
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,600
You told me not to go to war.

193
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,320
"Never fight," you said.

194
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,000
<font color="

195
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,520
Skulk indoors like a sick child.
It will be good for the Treasury.

196
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,920
And I thought to myself,
"By St Loy,

197
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,760
"this man has some stomach.
He has some gall."

198
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,280
I trust I did not offend.
You did.

199
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,080
<font color="

200
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,320
as a ruler sometimes must.

201
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,160
I am greatly altered
these ten years.

202
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,320
You, not so much.

203
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,600
You no longer surprise me
like once you did.

204
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,880
I do not think you will
surprise me again,

205
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,720
<font color="
and done...

206
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,400
..some of it miraculous,
I will not deny, Tom.

207
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,280
You have worked beyond
the capacities of ten ordinary men.

208
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,480
But still I miss
the Cardinal of York.

209
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,240
Still I miss Thomas Wolsey.

210
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,360
<font color="
the Cardinal's ghost.

211
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,040
CHATTER IN BACKGROUND

212
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,400
LADY ROCHFORD: How do you like
the new Queen's Maids-of-Honour?

213
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,960
They seem very young.

214
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,760
Oh, that's you getting older.

215
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,280
The maids are the usual age.

216
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,120
<font color="

217
00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:29,800
Catherine Howard.

218
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,200
Norfolk's niece.

219
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,040
Succulent little thing.

220
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,840
I think we've had enough
of Norfolk's nieces.

221
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,000
I sent her away
because she looks 12,

222
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,680
but they swear
she's of sufficient age.

223
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,000
<font color="

224
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,600
A simpler maid I never saw.
Her mouth's always hanging open.

225
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,600
But she has no mother, bless her.

226
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,520
She was but an infant
when her mother died.

227
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,800
A soft word, my lady.

228
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,520
I'm not a monster, my lord.

229
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,480
I wonder who paid for
<font color="

230
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,480
That cloth did not come
from the old dowager's wardrobe.

231
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,320
And those rubies - did they not
once belong to Anne Boleyn?

232
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,360
SHE LAUGHS

233
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:21,520
That got your attention.

234
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,280
Send her away.

235
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,440
Again?

236
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,200
<font color="

237
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,440
Say what you like.

238
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,680
Just make sure she doesn't show
her face here again until the King

239
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,280
is safely married.

240
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,480
Sir.

241
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,360
My lord, I have decided
to make speed to Rochester

242
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:55,520
and greet the bride
<font color="

243
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,840
Why, sir?

244
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,720
It will only be a day or two
before she arrives.

245
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,480
I want to nourish love.

246
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,360
Your Majesty, with all respect,
was this not aired in Council?

247
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:07,880
It was your Councillors' earnest
prayer that Your Majesty

248
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,680
<font color="
you greet the Queen in London,

249
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,400
and you were pleased to accede.

250
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,560
Can I not change my mind,
Wriothesley?

251
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,280
In London there will be music
and ordnance,

252
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,200
and we shall not speak a dozen
<font color="

253
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,800
before we must ride back,

254
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,520
and then it will be hours
before we have a chance to be alone.

255
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,120
No. I want to surprise her...

256
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,760
..and gladden her heart
and bid her a proper welcome.

257
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,920
If you will be advised by me, sir...
<font color="

258
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,800
You have many strengths, Crumb,

259
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,800
but you are no adept in courtship.

260
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,200
She'll hardly be off the ship, sir.

261
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,600
Think how shamed she will be
if she cannot appear at her best.

262
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,320
And she may well, of course,
be overwhelmed

263
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,160
<font color="

264
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,160
That is why I must go!

265
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,360
I will spare her anxiety.

266
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:02,480
She will be working herself up
toward great ceremonies.

267
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,720
I will go in disguise.

268
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,720
It is what a king does.

269
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,480
You cannot know, Cromwell,
<font color="

270
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,240
I know it is not what we agreed,
my lord,

271
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,880
but a bridegroom
must have his caprices,

272
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,720
and disguising
always brings pleasure.

273
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:32,200
The dowager, Katherine, she would
pretend she did not know me.

274
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:38,040
<font color="
because everybody knows the King.

275
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,240
May I ask what disguise
Your Majesty means to adopt?

276
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,320
Ah! A Russian nobleman.

277
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,240
With great fur boots.

278
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,240
A shepherd, then.

279
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,480
Or perhaps...one of the Magi.

280
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,560
<font color="
Just go as a gentleman.

281
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,480
A gentleman?

282
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,880
Of England?

283
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,200
A gentleman with no name?

284
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,600
Yes.

285
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,080
Very well.

286
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,360
I shall be ruled by Lord Cromwell,

287
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:28,640
as all the foreigners claim I am.

288
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,240
Christ.
<font color="

289
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,960
You are afraid that he will
find her not as reported?

290
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,440
Because for sure she will find HIM
not as reported.

291
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:51,840
She's expecting
a full court reception.

292
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,160
That's what her people
have prepared her for.

293
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,800
<font color="
this sort of childish carry-on.

294
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,000
Make speed to Rochester, Call-Me.
Warn her.

295
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,120
The King will come on the river
with a small train,

296
00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:06,000
no heralds, no ceremony.
Anna must be ready.

297
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,320
He'll enter her chamber.
<font color="

298
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,680
..astonished and delighted.

299
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,040
Well, it could be worse.

300
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,520
At least he's not going to wear
his Turkish costume.

301
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,120
HENRY: I am greatly altered
these ten years.

302
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,440
You, not so much.

303
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,600
<font color="
like once you did.

304
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,760
I do not think
you will surprise me again.

305
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,680
DOGS BARKING

306
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,800
Gregory. What are you doing here?

307
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,280
Henry is on his way back
from Rochester.

308
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,800
And Wriothesley? Had he warned Anne?
<font color="

309
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,800
She was warned,
she was not ready.

310
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,560
Why didn't you stop him
from going, Father?

311
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,160
You're his Councillor.

312
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,280
Sit. Tell me.

313
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,120
The King came in, masked,

314
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:34,440
dressed in some outlandish costume,

315
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,440
<font color="

316
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,080
They were baiting a bull
in the courtyard,

317
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,280
and she cast a glance
over her shoulder and then...

318
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,440
..turned back to the sport.

319
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,440
I suppose she didn't believe
a prince would come in secret.

320
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,520
<font color="

321
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,760
..and addressed her,
and still she didn't turn.

322
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,560
I think she took him for...

323
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,800
..I don't know what, but he stood
there with his hat in his hand.

324
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,400
He seemed uncertain how to proceed.

325
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,600
Until her people swarmed in
<font color="

326
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,920
And then she turned
and she realised who he was.

327
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,560
As Christ is my Saviour, Father,
the look in her eye...

328
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,080
..I will never forget it.
Nor, I think, will the King.

329
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,000
She recoiled from him.

330
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,960
He could not miss it.

331
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,320
<font color="

332
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,480
Fitzwilliam says she is as good
a woman as we will find in Europe.

333
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,840
But I don't see how she will undo
that first moment.

334
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,120
And?

335
00:24:58,120 --> 00:24:59,600
He has said nothing.

336
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,600
Cromwell, we have not had
the papers from Cleves

337
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,200
<font color="
the pre-contract.

338
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,440
It was stated emphatically that
the lady would bring them with her,

339
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,160
but it appears she did not.

340
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,440
Even the least suspicious man
would ask himself

341
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,080
why they have still not shown them.

342
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,680
<font color="

343
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,080
I cannot marry until I am sure

344
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,520
she is clear of all past promises.

345
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:43,840
Majesty...

346
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,760
I find her nothing so well
as she is spoken of.

347
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,520
Fitzwilliam...

348
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,440
..wrote from Calais,
praising her outright.

349
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,760
<font color="
but...

350
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,720
No, you have not seen her.

351
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,880
You and I have both been
at the mercy of reports,

352
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,640
so you cannot be blamed.

353
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,520
When I encountered her yesterday,

354
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,400
I tell you I had much ado
to master myself.

355
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,400
<font color="

356
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,400
And her height, and stiff as she is,
I thought to myself,

357
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,480
"I am to marry
the Cornhill Maypole."

358
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,840
CROMWELL CHUCKLES

359
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,840
And I believe she had painted
her mouth,

360
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,200
which, if true, is a filthy thing.

361
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,560
<font color="
sir.

362
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,400
Her complexion is sallow.

363
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,200
When I think of Jane...

364
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,760
..so white and clear.

365
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,760
A pearl.

366
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,240
Well, I think this will be
the journey, sir.

367
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,240
All those long, tedious hours
<font color="

368
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,400
the delays, and then...
then the voyage from Calais.

369
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,640
As for the papers, I cannot guess

370
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,000
why the ambassadors
have not brought them.

371
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,400
But we know there's no pre-contract,
and the parties were not yet of age.

372
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,280
<font color="
it's no great matter.

373
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,800
It is a great matter

374
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,480
if I think I am married
and find I am not.

375
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,520
FANFARE

376
00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:00,960
I hear there was an upset
at Rochester, Cromwell.

377
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,480
Oh?

378
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,720
You know more than I do.

379
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,200

High time you admitted it.

FITZWILLIAM: God,
is there no help for it?

382
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,320
He's seething inside.
I know him from childhood.

383
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,200
The papers are an excuse.
He dislikes her

384
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,600
or he is frightened of her.
<font color="

385
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,240
I will not be stuck with the blame

386
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,600
just because it was I who was sent
to meet her at Calais.

387
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,040
Listen, no-one is seeking
to blame you.

388
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,240
It's his own fault,
if there is fault.

Rushing about the countryside
<font color="

00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,320
NORFOLK: So, Cromwell, he wants to
get out of it, I hear.

391
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,040
Let's be clear, my lords.

392
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,960
The King of France and the Emperor
are together seeing in the New Year.

393
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,600
They have not been so close
in our lifetime.

and funds to attack us.

395
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,880
Our forts are still building.

396
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,160
Ireland is against us.
Scotland is against us.

397
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,320
If we're not to be overrun
this spring,

398
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,320
we need the princes of Germany
on our side,

<font color="

00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,280
or engaging the enemy
so that we can defeat him,

401
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,680
or force a truce.

402
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,280
The King needs to make
this marriage.

403
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,760
England needs it.

404
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,040
He agreed to it. He signed up.

<font color="

406
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,840
I agree with my Lord Suffolk.

407
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,800
The King has gone too far
in the matter.

408
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,440
He was convinced before
that she was free to marry,

409
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,400
and she seems a good enough woman
to me.

00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,280
Perhaps you do not understand
the requirements of a prince!

Why is my diamond not here?!

Put on my wig.

He is supposed to escort her.
He is late. What will she think?

Cromwell, you fetch her.

I'm not worthy, Your Majesty.

You are if I say you are.

00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,960
What?

What's the hurry?

00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,680
Well, dark mornings,
ice on the path.

425
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,200
Needless to imperil oneself.
Cromwell.

426

Is Cromwell going for her?

427
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,240
Won't she be insulted, Majesty?

428
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,080
She must know that

Oh, get on, get on, Cromwell.
What matter who does it?

00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,640
I tell you, my lord, if it were not
for fear of driving her brother

431
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,160
into the Emperor's arms, I would not
do what I must do this day

432

Amen.

Thanks be to God.

A taste of home.

Have you visited my home?
I have not.

445
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,520
We were much misinformed

446
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,240
about your English, your grace.
Very good.

447
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,960
<font color="
and a good tutor.

448
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,840
I was hoping for letters at Calais,
but there was nothing for me.

449
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,280
Oh, the posts are very bad
at this time of year.

450
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,320
I myself am awaiting news
from our ambassadors

451
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,640
in France and Spain.

I know it is, um...

455
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,720
..unkind to wish for war.

456
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,840
But I know that my brother Wilhelm
would be very happy if the Emperor

457
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,280
and the French King
would fight each other again

<font color="

459
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:38,000
Yes. Certainly their discord

Oh, my.

How like you the Queen?

476
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,080

Her breasts are slack.

479
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,080
Her belly has loose skin on it.

480
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,960
When I felt it,
it struck me to the heart.

481
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,640
I had no appetite for the rest.

482
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,400
I do not believe she is a maid.

Nothing.

Her English disappears

I'm hardly going to bring the men in

You like her.

489
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,040
I do.

490
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,360
She keeps her own counsel.

<font color="
don't you think?

492
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,760
Our view is he lay on her

493
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,240
That's all.

494
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,760
FITZWILLIAM: The King says she has
displeasant airs about her.

495
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,120
You might talk to her chamber-women

00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,440
washing her well enough.
You talk to them.

497
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,560
This was your gamble, Cromwell.
If I promoted the match,

498
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,560
it was with the King's full
permission and encouragement,

499
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:29,880
and this Council's.

500
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,440
Yes!

Harry says I should have
stopped her at Calais.

503

I wrote saying
she was like a princess.

504
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:41,520
Well, she is.

505
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,080
Is it for me to feel her duckies

Interrupting the Council!

510
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,480
There is news from Wyatt in Spain.

511
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,480
He says that he has driven a wedge
between the French and the Emperor.

512
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,840
Apparently, he accused the Emperor

<font color="

514
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:10,480
The Emperor then, of course,
flew into a rage and said,

515
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,160
"How dare your master use
that word, ungrateful?

516
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,640
"That charge cannot be levelled

Why does that drive a wedge?

523
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,640
In insulting our king,
the Emperor insults all kings,

524
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,560
including his ally,
the King of France.

And Henry won't need this marriage.

<font color="

532
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,120
but works contrary to your purpose.

533
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,280
Thank you, Christophe.

534
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,440
DOOR CLOSES

535
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:48,600
Can you save him?

536
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,520
From this marriage?

537
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,360
How often do you get the chance
to change the map of the world?

538
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,680
Perhaps once in two or three
<font color="

539
00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:03,400
Can I free him?
It's not impossible.

540
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,760
But to let that chance slip away...

541
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:09,920
I should be here with you.

542
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,680
Richard is with his new family now.

543
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,880
Call-Me is...is just jealous
of anyone you esteem above him.

00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,360

of ambition and...

545
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,640
And Fitzwilliam...

546
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:25,600
I thought he was your friend,

547
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,760
but now I am not so sure
that he can be trusted.

548
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,680
He will see you blamed if it will
deflect blame from himself.

549
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,040
<font color="
Rafe - with the King.

550
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,200
So what shall we do?

551
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:45,080
What can we do but as Cicero says -
live hopefully,

552
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:46,640
die bravely.

553
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,320
Cromwell!

554
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,680
Thetford Priory.

555
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,680
Yes, my lord.

556
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,440
You've shut it.

<font color="

558
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,280
That's my country.

559
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,400
I told you, my forebears lie there.

560
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,000
My father lies there.
Flodden Norfolk, they called him,

561
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,840
named after the battle.
Now where is he to go?

562
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,960
It's an insult to the Howard name.

563
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,440
My father must be prayed for,
<font color="

564
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:26,120
Your old dad, why don't you let him
take his chances?

565
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,880
You dare hold me in contempt?

566
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:35,720
I'll have your guts,
you filthy ingrate!

567
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:38,560
What were you, hmm,
when you came to court?

568
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,160
Wolsey owned the shirt on your back.

569
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:45,960
<font color="
your gratitude to me and to the King

570
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,200
who have done so much for you!

571
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,160
You keep your hands
out of my affairs,

572
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,480
and you take your fucking Germans
and you kick them out the door!

573
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,640
The whole Council approved
<font color="

574
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,760
You signed it, Thomas Howard.

575
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,680
You did, as well as I!

576
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,720
As for that lady, the King
couldn't get her here fast enough.

577
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:06,400
I tell you, he wants to be free.

578
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,960
Have you not seen him
looking at my niece?

579
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,640
He cast a fantasy to Catherine
<font color="

580
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,480
If you want power,
why don't you get it like a man

581
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,840
instead of pandering
your fucking nieces?

582
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,560
What? What?!

583
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:23,960
CROMWELL BREATHES DEEPLY

584
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,200
God rot you.

585
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,560
Was that wise, sir?

586
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,600
<font color="
in his ancestors.

587
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,160
I don't think he'll forgive you
for turning them out.

588
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,800
Norfolk, he may be a brute,
but he's right.

589
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,240
You told the King
that without the Germans

590
00:42:59,240 --> 00:43:03,560
he was destitute of friends,
<font color="

591
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,400
..the alliance is melting away.

592
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,480
Henry will be courted again
by France and Emperor both.

593
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,880
I don't think Norfolk has disclosed
all of his dealings with the French.

594
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,600
I believe they made overtures
of friendship that were...

00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,320
Entrusted to the Duke

597
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,360
They hate you, sir.

598
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,160
And Norfolk -

599
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,040
he encourages them.

600
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:38,080
Didn't I advise you when the Boleyns
came down, "Break Norfolk"?

601
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:42,040
I said, "Break him,

FOOTSTEPS

603
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,600
I have a matter to put to you.

604
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,560
It is a matter of some gravity.

605
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,160
Come here with me
and close the door.

606
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,680
Sir! Sir, you must see this at once.

607
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,640
It's a copy of a letter
from Ambassador Castillon

608
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,120
<font color="

609
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,160
I, um, I put a man in his train.

610
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,800
Now Castillon says that King Henry
means to take the Privy Seal from us

611
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,640
and give it to Fitzwilliam.

612
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,280
That he'll cast you down
from your office as Vicegerent

613
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,240
and raise up Bishop Tunstall.

614
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,160
<font color="
What is it? What's happened?

615
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:38,480
Well, I...

616
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,880
I've just come from the King,
straight from the King,

617
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,200
and I have news.
Good news for the both of you.

618
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,240
I hope you'll think so. Come in.

619
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,520
Come, sit with me.

620
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:55,640
<font color="

621
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,200
As you know, ever since
I've been Master Secretary,

622
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,480
I've tried to be with
the King's person.

623
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,400
But always, I'm wanted
at Westminster,

624
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,760
so you know what my life has been.

625
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:18,080
With the King's permission,
<font color="

626
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,200
From now on,
you two will share the task.

627
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,560
Each of you will be
Master Secretary.

628
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:28,120
You'll split your time,
so if one of you is in Westminster,

629
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,120
the other will be with the King.

630
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,600
You'll both be made knights.

631
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,440
<font color="
to the Council.

632
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,040
You know what I have made
of this office.

633
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,880
Nothing eludes it.

634
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,560
Nothing is beyond it.

635
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,360
From now on,
everything starts with you,

636
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,680
and with you, everything stops.

637
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,360
Rafe. Yes.

Lord Great Chamberlain,

639
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,080
Chief of the Household.

640
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:01,120
The Earl of Essex
died last night, and, well, I'm...

641
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,160
..I'm to be given his title.

When I left the King -
before I came here...

Master.

To have your blessing.

648

I wanted to tell my old dad...

649
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,400
HE CHUCKLES

650
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,520
MIMICS: "What, Put-An-Edge-On-It
has been made an earl?"

651
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,480
Just to see his face.

Mm-hm.

Gregory. Father.

00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,440
Bess has something

658
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,200
What is it, Bess?

659
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:36,880
I will leave you both.

She's back at Lambeth with Norfolk.

662
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:49,800
I know.

663
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,480
The Queen was glad to see her go.

664
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,640
But the Queen doesn't understand.

665
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,200
Understand what?

666
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:00,960
He visits her.

667
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:03,600
The King.

668
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,520
He stays with her until late.

The Howards believe

671

And who is to say that he will not?
Do you have any proof?

672
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,480
I was bidden to a piece of work.

673
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,200
It was handed to me out of malice.

674
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,520
It was something of Jane's.

675
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,520
<font color="

676
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:38,000
It was her girdle book,
her little prayers.

677
00:49:39,720 --> 00:49:42,960
I was told to take this
and to pick her initials out.

678
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,520
I said, "I will not.
I will not do it.

679
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,760
"I am Mistress Cromwell.
I am not some servant."

And it is not the first gift

683
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,080

better than she will ever be.

684

Could you have another child, Crumb?

685
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:42,800
I think you could.

686
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,840
<font color="
Common men have vigour.

687
00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:52,160
I thought I would get another son

00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:55,920
But there is no sign
God intends it.

689
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,960
Can we not pay her off?

HE SIGHS

691
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,280
We might write to Cleves
<font color="

692
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,080
You could write at my dictation
as we once used to.

693

My eyes are not what they were, sir.

694
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,440
We could offer her a settlement,
sir,

695
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,800
but I don't know how much
we would need to find

696

before your fellow princes.

701
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,640

far away.

Come sit with me.

Put your papers to one side.
Come, sit down.

707
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:43,600
Do you remember the day
we rode down to the Weald

708
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:48,200
<font color="
new ways of casting cannon?

709
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:54,800
Those were brighter days.

710
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,320
Jane did not like me to leave her...

711
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:04,120
..but she knew that we had
long planned the excursion,

712
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,680
and your lordship's press
of business being what it is,

713
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,560
<font color="
being what they are...

714
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,440
..she did not ask me to forbear.

715
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:15,960
Mm.

716
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:22,320
I said to her, "It will be only
two nights or three,

717
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,840
"and we will take it at our ease.

718
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,240
"We shall listen to the birdsong.

719
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:35,600
"We shall ride, like knights
<font color="

720
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,760
"We shall enjoy the sunshine."

721
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,640
But when I think about it...

722
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,840
..I recall we never
made that journey, did we?

723
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,280
Into Kent? No.

724
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:03,640
But it was projected.

725
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,080
Let's say we did, sir.

726
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:23,080
Let's say the ironmasters
<font color="

727
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:27,400
Opened their minds to us...

728
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,080
..showed us all their secrets.

729
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:33,800
They must.

730
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,080
No-one could keep their secrets
from me.

731
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,080
It is no use to try.

732
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:49,840
RAFE: The King would not
elevate you,

733
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,520
<font color="
Earl of Essex,

734
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,880
if he meant to destroy you.

735
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:56,840
Have I not taught you, Rafe?

736
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:01,440
Have you not read it in the Book
Called Henry which I wrote for you?

737
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,760
Never say what the King will not do.

738
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,320
Sir Rafe!

739
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,440
<font color="
on his way?

740
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,120
Er, we're not expecting him.

741
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,960
My Lord Bishop,
are you on the Council now?

742
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:55,520
Imminently.

743
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,920
We'll see how long that lasts,
shall we?

744
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,080
Anyone want to make a bet?

745
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,840
<font color="
but shall we begin?

746
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,560
We don't sit with traitors.

747
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,840
Tear out your heart
and stuff it down your throat!

748
00:56:24,720 --> 00:56:26,600
Get his arms.

749
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:27,880
Get his arms!

750
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:30,760
Hold him!

751
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,440
KINGSTON: My lord!

752
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:48,760
<font color="

753
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,520
I'll walk by your side
and lead you through the crowd.

754
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,720
CROMWELL BREATHES HEAVILY

755
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,560
GARDINER: Adieu, Cromwell.

756
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,120
You give me my title, Stephen.

757
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:50,960
You have no title.

758
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,680
It's gone.

759
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,920
<font color="

760
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,000
May he take you to his mercy.
