Why don't you tell me

My dear,
you must not blame me

Yes, it's a good likeness.

I'm sorry.
When I came back here,

28

I was homesick for Antwerp.

29

I would have stayed for
not much encouragement.

30
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,480
It was my mother's wish that you
<font color="

Why did she not write to me

33
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,080
I would have come back.
I would have married her.

00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,160
Please tell her that.
My mother is dead.

A cold to her chest
<font color="

36
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,760
She said that...

37
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,840
..she did not want you to regard me

38
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,560

39
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,880

NORFOLK: The King's grieving.

Of course he's grieving.
Lovely lady. Who wouldn't?

193
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,000
But the Emperor and France
creep close to a treaty,

194
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,040
which is very displeasant to us.

196
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,840
Let Henry claim a bride
from France.

We could not only stipulate
a good sum of money

198
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,400
with the girl,

Now, of course, we know that
you'd prefer marriage

201

with some German
gospeller's daughter,

202
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,560
but that will not happen.
And do you know why?

203
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,000
Because it derogates from
the honour of our sovereign.

205

Germans is a mere...

00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,280

Oh... I trust you.

You won't venture anything

Does he?

223
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,520
I shall try to be a credit to him.

224
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,520
He says it is your duty...

226
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:54,840

Madame de Longueville?

There is a difficulty.

The King of Scots wants her.

I do not call that a difficulty.

It will reach me.

245

Vaughan's people will send it

"Gone...over the sea."

00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,600
What is it, Geoffrey?

365
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,320
Is it negligence?

366
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,160
Or lack of capacity?

367
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,680
Or do you play me false?

368
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,560
Thank you, Martin.

369
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,160
The French are funny,
don't you think?

370
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,880
The French merchants
<font color="

371
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,880
They call it
sale by candlelight.

372
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,560
Suppose you have something
for sale -

373
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:48,080
it might be a bale of wool
or books or a castle -

374
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,520
all the interested parties
are gathered together,

375
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,200
<font color="
there's a glass of wine,

376
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,680
and then the bidding begins,

377
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,480
and lasts until
the candle burns down.

378
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,320
Martin,
you can light the candle now.

379
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,800
When the candle burns out,

380
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,240
the bidding ceases
<font color="

381
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,640
you answer my questions
before this candle dies,

382
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,040
and I will offer you your life.

383
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,960
It'll be on my terms,

384
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,520
but still, it'll be your life.
You can live quiet,

385
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,200
away from court. So, you see,

386
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,560
<font color="
have for sale.

387
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:31,640
Your life in return for
information about your family.

388
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,120
Now, so far,
you've offered us, well,

389
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,840
a scant few pence worth,
haven't you?

390
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,200
But Wriothesley, he thinks
<font color="

391
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,520
So, have a think,

392
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,400
dig deep in your pockets

393
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,640
and see what you can
come up with to persuade me.

394
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,400
I want you to go back in
to him.

395
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,680
He'll try to talk around
the point.

396
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,120
Uh...

397
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,800
<font color="

398
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,400
"Oh, no, no,
it might have been March.

399
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:00,920
"It might have been my
mother.

400
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,720
"It might have been
the Wife of Bath."

401
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,640
Nail him down
on threats to the King.

402
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,360
Threats to the King himself.

403
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,480
<font color="

404
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,800
I think the King of France
is deeper in this

405
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,560
than a brother monarch should be.

406
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,120
You're going to
bring them down?

407
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,120
The oldest, richest families
in the land?

408
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,080
Like skittles.

409
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,080
<font color="

410
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,240
HE CHUCKLES

411
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,160
But sir, if you...if you
call a traitor

412
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,720
everyone who has voiced
a dislike of the King

413
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,920
or his proceedings,

414
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,720
who does that leave alive?

415
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,120
Me.

416
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,880
The Poles.

417
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,840
<font color="
will turn.

418
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,960
They know Henry is afraid
of excommunication.

419
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,920
They think a show of force
will bring him back to Rome.

420
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,280
But they're wrong.
Henry won't turn.

421
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,760
He'll let me live a year
or two,

422
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,840
<font color="
everything we've done

423
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,320
can never be undone, and
then, even if Henry does turn,

424
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:08,560
I won't turn.

425
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,080
I'm not too old
to take a sword in my hand.

426
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:15,600
You would...take arms
against the King?

427
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,160
<font color="

428
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,560
Send a man to Wyatt.

429
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,400
Tell him I want to speak to him.

430
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,360
Out now, Wriothesley.

431
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:49,800
Go out now.

432
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,080
I'll speak to Wyatt alone.

433
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,680
I hear you did great deeds
against the rebels, Tom.

434
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:02,880
Not really.

435
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,280
<font color="
they ran away at night.

436
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,520
I want you to resume your role

437
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,600
as the King's ambassador
to the Emperor.

438
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,400
Is there no other possible
assignment? There is not.

439
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,720
HE SIGHS

440
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,720
Mmm.

00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,360
<font color="

442
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,960
The Inquisitors think
all Englishmen are Lutherans.

443
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,880
They put spies in my house,

444
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,400
they steal my letters...

445
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,680
..and, in truth, I cannot read
the Emperor at all.

446
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,040
I hear the words he says, but
nothing that lies beneath them.

447
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,680
<font color="

448
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,880
It doesn't matter.
You have only one task -

449
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,040
to break up this alliance
between the Emperor and France.

450
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,320
But does their pact not suit
your purposes, my lord?

451
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,120
With France and Spain at peace,

452
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,920
will Henry not be required
<font color="

453
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,720
Allies such as
the German princes.

454
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:04,480
Isn't that what you want?

455
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,760
To force the King
into an alliance

456
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,360
with others who've thrown off
Rome's yoke?

457
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,520
Yes, and I'll pursue
<font color="

458
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:16,040
But if this pact between
France and Spain endures,

459
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,520
the Emperor will invade,
put Mary on the throne,

460
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,200
and all that we've gained
will be swept away.

461
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,520
You must force them apart.

462
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,280
KNOCK ON DOOR

463
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,760
<font color="

464
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,520
He's still alive.

465
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,120
He rose from the table
after dining

466
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,440
and then fell under it.

467
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,160
When we pulled him out,
he was black in the face.

468
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,040
He coughed up blood, but I
think that's what saved him,

469
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,160
<font color="

470
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,920
We'd feared such a crisis.

471
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,680
We try to keep the wound
open to keep it clean,

472
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,200
but it tries to close,

473
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,560
trapping
the dead matter within.

474
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:19,880
What do you advise?

475
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,480
What we always advise -
<font color="

476
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,200
water his wine, keep the leg up.

477
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,360
Hopeless.

478
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,440
It's the hunting season.

479
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,480
HENRY: Cromwell!

480
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,120
There you are.

481
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,520
In your absence,
I fear we took a tumble.

482
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,200
Oh.

483
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,920
What news?

484
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,040
<font color="
of transacting business today.

485
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,440
No? Then who will rule,
Dr Butts?

486
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,120
God protect Your Majesty.

487
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,720
HENRY SNAPS HIS FINGERS

488
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,800
Now hostilities between
France and the empire are...

489
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:10,560
..suspended,

<font color="

491
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,240
The German princes
have formed a league -

492
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:18,760
they call it
the Schmalkaldic League -

493
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,960
to defend themselves
against the Emperor.

494
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,240
As England needs friends,

495
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:26,480
who better than these princes?

00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,200

Duke Wilhelm of Cleves

..a guiding light
to his people, Majesty.

501
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,400
He's offered to send a picture
of his sister, Anne,

<font color="
exceeds Madame de Longueville

503
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:59,200
as the golden sun
exceeds the silvery moon.

504
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,040
Well, then,
let them send the picture.

505
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,320
And find out what these
German princes will do for us

506
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,080

There is a priest,
Your Majesty, John Lambert.

509
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,880
A heretic.

510
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,480
Old Archbishop Warham
charged him in 45 articles.

511
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,440
And then died before the hearing
could be completed.

512
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,160
Cranmer has been
<font color="

513
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:43,920
but he continues to preach,

514
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:48,360
saying only Christ,
not priests, can forgive sin.

515
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,440
Well, then,
let him be tried again.

516
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,680
He asks if he might
present his case privately

to Your Majesty,

Bring him before me.

519
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:06,720
I will debate him...

520
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,680
..in public, I think.

521
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,320
I think he...
What? You fear for me?

522
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,720
I am well able for any heretic.

523
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,840
And I must carry
the torch of faith high,

524
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,640

and enemies can see it.

EXCITED CHATTER FROM INSIDE

Thomas.

This Lambert will ruin us.

I have begged him
to be circumspect,

530
00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:01,000
and he said,
"Act the man, Cranmer.

Welcome home.

I don't know what you've been doing
in my absence, Cromwell.

537
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:17,720
Why have you tolerated
an Anabaptist?

<font color="

539
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,000

These people you call
Anabaptists,

674

A little over ten years ago,

675
00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:13,920

between Lady Anne

00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,440
that the parties were
but ten and twelve years old.

680
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,000
I see no impediment to our union.

687
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,000

688

704
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,920
It was given out at the time

00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,120
Naturally. Bishop Gigli.

724
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,320
DRINK POURS

725
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:46,920
Wolsey's old crony?

726
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:48,200
Exactly.

727
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,080
<font color="

728
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,680
With Bainbridge removed,

729
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,880
Wolsey was clear to be
the next English cardinal.

730
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,920
You were in Rome then,
weren't you, Cromwell?

731
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,720
It's interesting, that.

732
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,400
CRANMER: How were you in
<font color="

733
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:05,840
Private business.

734
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,080
I did not know Wolsey then.

735
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,080
You always knew Wolsey.

736
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:17,520
Oh, Bainbridge was a choleric
man. He drove himself.

737
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:22,000
Such men can perish
with the heat of Italy.

738
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,680
Besides, I always heard that

739
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:27,560
<font color="
before he died. Yes.

740
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,520
So who was the murderer?

741
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,400
You are seriously accusing
Lord Cromwell?

742
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,520
He was no lord in those days.

743
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,520
My lord?

744
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,280
I'm sorry.

745
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,520
HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

746
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,520
<font color="

747
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,080
I forget what you were saying.

748
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:03,920
Wolsey scarcely had the grace to
hide his hand in the murder.

749
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,440
He and Bishop Gigli
were fast friends.

750
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:10,320
When I was his secretary.
I saw the letters in the files.

751
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,000
NORFOLK:
<font color="

752
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,520
We're better off
without cardinals

753
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,240
and proud old prelates
such as we used to have.

754
00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:22,760
Now, the archbishop here,

755
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:24,800
at least he conducts himself
humble-wise.

756
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,520
You can tell by his
countenance

757
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,440
<font color="
at prayer,

758
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,120
instead of
brow-beating noblemen

759
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,040
and plotting their downfall.

760
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:34,840
And wrangling and cheating
and embezzling,

761
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:36,840
all of which were
daily proceedings

762
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,600
with Cardinal Thomas Wolsey.
<font color="

763
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,760
Yes, and promoting false
knaves to positions of trust,

764
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,840
soliciting bribes, falsifying
deeds, bullying his betters,

765
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:48,040
consorting with conjurers

766
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:51,520
and generally thieving, lying and
cheating, all to the detriment

767
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:55,280
<font color="
and the shame of the King.

768
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,000
For shame, Thomas.
