1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,560
You will pay with your own life
for that of my friend.

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,120
Thomas Rainsborough...

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,080
Should such a man be
in such high command?

4
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:14,320
I'm with child.

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,200
Till I return,
guard this woman with your life.

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,800
Arrest her!

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,960
What does it matter now?
Let them hang me!

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,440
Have you considered, John?

9
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:40,880
Aye.

10
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,200
Your answer?

11
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,800
No.

12
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,080
Why, pray?

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,640
You would have me sit
as a judge at the King's trial.

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,520
Others have already agreed.

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,600
By whose authority will he be tried?

16
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,200
By that of Parliament.

17
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,200
Oliver!

18
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,400
This is your Parliament,
since YOU purged it.

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,920
Is that not the truth?

20
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,880
Aye, sir, for you are
Honest John Lilburne.

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,880
Let a new Parliament
be freely elected,

22
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,920
let that Parliament
call for the King...

23
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:19,680
We waste our breath together, sir.

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,600
Then answer me this one thing -
if it happen

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,080
that Charles Stuart be found
innocent of the crime
of making war on his people,

26
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,760
will you let him be set free?

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,360
England will be never be at peace

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,000
till this matter of the King
be settled once for all.

29
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,280
Fare you well.

30
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,160
Just one more time.

31
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,840
You're nearly there.
Again. And breath and push...

32
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,360
Hard, hard! Push, Angelica, push!

33
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,560
Yes, yes!

34
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,320
Ssh!

35
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,720
Ssh!

36
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,680
The court commands
the charge be read.

37
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:03,360
My Lord, in behalf of
the Commons of England

38
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,280
and of all the people thereof...

39
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,360
Hold a little.

40
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,680
In behalf of the Commons of England
and of all the people thereof,

41
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,080
I do accuse Charles Stuart,
here present,

42
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,720
as a tyrant, traitor
and murderer,

43
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,640
public and implacable enemy
to the Commonwealth of England

44
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,040
and man of blood!

45
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,920
God save the King! God save the King!

46
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,680
God save the King!

47
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,280
Sir, we would have your answer.

48
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,800
I would know by what lawful
authority I am called hither.

49
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,040
Remember, I am your King.

50
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,440
We are satisfied of
our own authority.

51
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,520
It is not your self-satisfaction
that should decide the matter.

52
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,960
I know as much law as any one of you.

53
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,040
Show me one precedent in history
for these proceedings.

54
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,720
It is not for a prisoner to require.

55
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,120
Sir, I am not an ordinary prisoner.

56
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,160
Make them be quiet!

57
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,080
Clear the court!

58
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,200
A boy. He came too early into
the world - no air in his lungs.

59
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,440
Now the law can hang me.

60
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,720
Ask Elizabeth to fetch me
my wedding dress

61
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,720
and then you can go home, Saxby.

62
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,160
I have no home, if you be hanged.

63
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,080
Then wander the world,

64
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,400
for hanged I must be.

65
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,600
lt You're guilty!

66
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:21,760
lt Murderer!

67
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:31,320
King of Blood!
There's blood on your hands!

68
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,360
In the name of
the people of England...

69
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,440
Not a half! Not a quarter
of the people of England!

70
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,400
Oliver Cromwell is a traitor!

71
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,760
Oliver Cromwell is a traitor! Away!

72
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:52,160
The prisoner, having refused to
give his answer to the charges,
has thereby confessed his guilt.

73
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,720
The prisoner may speak.

74
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,640
I must tell you all...

75
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,760
..this many a day, all things
have been taken away from me...

76
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,760
..but that which I call
more dear to me than my life...

77
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,920
..my conscience

78
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,440
and my honour.

79
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,800
If I had more respect to my life
than the peace of the kingdom...

80
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,560
..I should've made
a defence for myself

81
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,320
that might leastwise have delayed
the ugly sentence

82
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,840
which I believe
you will pass on me.

83
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,400
I know it is in vain
to dispute with you.

84
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,000
I cannot deny the power you have.

85
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,480
I have nothing more to say.

86
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,920
Sir, there is a bond made
between a king and his people.

87
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,840
A bond of protection
due from the sovereign

88
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,920
and subjection due from the people.

89
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,160
When this bond is once broken...

90
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,200
..farewell sovereignty.

91
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,040
Charles Stuart,
as a tyrant, traitor,

92
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,920
murderer and a public enemy,

93
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,120
shall be put to death

94
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,120
by the severing of his head
from his body.

95
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,040
Why is it so still?

96
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,120
They kill the King today.

97
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,360
Where are your friends today, madam?

98
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,560
Here before me, sirrah - ready to
pull at my legs and hasten my death.

99
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,120
Where's the hangman?

100
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,160
Elizabeth, tell your mother
when you see her

101
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:43,320
that my thoughts have never
strayed from her,

102
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,200
that my love will be the same
to the last. Will you tell her?

103
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,640
Sweetheart,
I fear you will forget this.

104
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:58,200
I shall never forget it
whilst I live.

105
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,040
Child...

106
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,680
..they will cut off my head...

107
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,960
..and perhaps make you King.

108
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:17,320
But mark what I say...

109
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:24,600
You must not be a king
so long as your brothers do live.

110
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,600
I'll be torn in pieces first.

111
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:03,320
It is very low.

112
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,480
It can be no higher, sir.

113
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,520
Remember.

114
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,120
You die a thief,
a murderess and a whore.

115
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,040
Will you at last admit your guilt
and beg forgiveness?

116
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,240
I will beg nothing from you,

117
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,760
nor any man.

118
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,120
Men have accused me,

119
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,760
men have judged me...

120
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,280
..and now men will kill me.

121
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,440
Men have sought to silence me
all my days.

122
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,000
But, before I am cut off, hear me.

123
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,560
You're the thief, sir,
for that you've stolen this world.

124
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,240
You're the murderer,
for that you've killed its dreams.

125
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,840
And you, sir, are the whore,

126
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,680
for you sold your soul
for a bag of gold.

127
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,160
Very pretty gallows speech.

128
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,720
Where is the hangman?

129
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,080
Make haste, sir - my master has
bought a window at hall.

130
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,600
On another day,

131
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,800
I could have wished
her your slowest death.

132
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,960
Hangman, I forgive you.

133
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,800
But today,

134
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,840
hurry, sir.

135
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,240
No more words, madam?

136
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,360
Where is Colonel Rainsborough today,
hmm?

137
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,920
What?

138
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,880
You cannot speak?

139
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,720
Are her ankles not pretty?

140
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,800
Let me pull on her legs!

141
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,800
No.

142
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,560
For pity's sake!

143
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,560
We lose time, sir.

144
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,920
Hangman, do not bring her down
until she be dead.

145
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,560
We must leave now, sir.

146
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:21,880
On, sir.

147
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,160
Edward!

148
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:57,120
Stay for the sign.

149
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,960
Breathe!

150
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,320
Order! Stand back!

151
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,760
You shall scarce speak to Cromwell
about anything now,

152
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,360
but he will lay his hand
upon his breast.

153
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,400
Aye and he'll elevate his eyes.
He'll call God to record.

154
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,880
He will weep, he will howl,
he will repent.

155
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,640
Even while he doth smite you
under the fifth rib!

156
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,760
Comrades, what did the army
fight for, eh?

157
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,240
To make Oliver absolute lord
and ruler over Ireland...

158
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,400
..As he is now, over England.

159
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,000
England's new chains,
England's new chains!

160
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,080
Read it and weep!

161
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,000
Gentlemen.

162
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,520
Edward.

163
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,560
The republic fights for its first
breaths while Honest John

164
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,760
incites the army
to mutiny against me.

165
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,120
Is this how he sees me now Edward?

166
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,360
lt As a tyrant?

167
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,560
You may speak openly.
Master Thurloe serves the nation.

168
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,600
Freeborn John thinks he may
have seen your hand at work

169
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,480
in the murder
of Thomas Rainsborough.

170
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,320
Do the Leveller regiments
talk of that?

171
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,960
In secret. For there
is hardly a one now in England

172
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,360
does not fear the General.

173
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,400
lt And you?

174
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,800
Did you see my hand in it?

175
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,240
No.

176
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,640
Then will you come with me?

177
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,920
To Ireland.

178
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,720
To kill Papists?

179
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,600
To make certain
that no Scottish or French armies

180
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,720
will ever find friends there.

181
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:27,360
My army is brave but they will
see sights in Ireland

182
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,200
that they never thought to see.

183
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,240
I need eyes with me there,
who have seen those sights before.

184
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,720
Your army is owed its wages.

185
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,160
As we take the land from the Papists,
we will sell it to Protestants

186
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,080
and pay the army its wages.

187
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:43,200
And what of the Papists?

188
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,600
When last they arose they killed
mothers and ate their babies, sir.

189
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,800
lt They are beyond humanity, Edward.
Come with me.

190
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,240
The man who stood so close
to Thomas Rainsborough,

191
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,320
must now stand close to me.

192
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,360
lt Come, sir.
Will you be Colonel Sexby?

193
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:18,320
lt Brighten your sword, Colonel Sexby.
The Lord has work for us both.

194
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:20,920
You must first to Burford, Edward.

195
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,800
The Leveller regiments
have arrested their officers

196
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,520
and refuse to march for Ireland.

197
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,280
Honest John has his mutiny.

198
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,520
Mutiny?

199
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,760
These are brave and honest men,
sir. I know them.

200
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,360
Go to them as from me.
Let them lay down their arms

201
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,360
and release their officers.

202
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,960
Tell them Old Noll will come
to them in person

203
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,760
and all their grievances
will be heard, upon my word.

204
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,280
What are your plans, madam?

205
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,040
To live the life you gave me.

206
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,200
What will you do?

207
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,320
I go to Ireland.
I have an officer's wages.

208
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,960
They are yours.

209
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,800
How?!

210
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:17,680
Be my wife.

211
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,920
I promised the best man in England
I would protect you.

212
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:32,280
Be my wife, in outward show only
and my promise is kept.

213
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,920
A woman cannot survive alone.

214
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,080
No, Sexby...

215
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,800
I mean to shift for myself now.

216
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,360
There are Diggers at Fanshawe House.

217
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,920
I mean to join them.

218
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,720
The Diggers follow Thomas' dreams -

219
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,800
Land a commonwealth,
property levelled

220
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,640
and every man's conscience his own.

221
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,000
The Diggers will not take you in
if you be unmarried.

222
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,520
lt Consider.

223
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,160
I do not ask for love.

224
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,360
I do not ask for...

225
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,960
a marriage bed.

226
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,880
I ask only that you
let me serve you.

227
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,040
Would you have me write you letters?

228
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:42,120
lt Sexby...

229
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,400
Why have you done this?

230
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,080
Duty, madam.

231
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,640
A promise given.

232
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,880
Freeborn John writes us
this message from the Tower.

233
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,000
"If Cromwell is allowed
to go on as he is, gt

234
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,640
"he will make himself King
and there will be nothing

235
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,480
lt "but cutting of throats, year..."

236
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,600
lt Make way for Colonel Sexby!

237
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:27,440
This you may not do
and still be soldiers.

238
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,920
Untie your officers.
This defiance cannot go on.

239
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,240
Give them their weapons
and their horses.

240
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,280
Be not afraid of them hereafter.

241
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:44,200
One greater than them comes to
listen to you. The General himself.

242
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,680
Now hear me.
Throw your weapons up here.

243
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:51,800
lt Do it now.

244
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,160
Nay! Never! gt

245
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,880
Come now.

246
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:03,880
Let none say you drew your weapons
at Old Noll.

247
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:09,960
When you speak, he will listen.

248
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,920
When he speaks, you will listen.

249
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,920
He will give you orders
and you will obey them.

250
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,480
There will be no reprisals.

251
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,760
This he has promised me
and I promise you the same.

252
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:27,280
In the name of Thomas Rainsborough.

253
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,000
Rainsborough! Rainsborough!

254
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,800
General!

255
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,120
You thought to mutiny?

256
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,760
You thought
to imprison your officers?

257
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,640
You thought to give orders
to the Army Council?

258
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,480
Show me the ringleaders.

259
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,720
They will face a court martial
immediately.

260
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,000
Sir!

261
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,840
Your part is played, Colonel.

262
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,160
Fire!

263
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,680
You kept no covenant with us.

264
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,880
Is there is anyone
who will not willingly submit

265
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,880
to my will and accept my pardon?

266
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:19,680
Do you wish to resign
your commission, Edward?

267
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,000
Ireland is our back door.
It must be bolted.

268
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:31,720
We march for Ireland.

269
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,240
Why keep that one?

270
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,720
Why this one?

271
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,280
Thomas Rainsborough lies there.
Should be at the head of England.

272
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,640
What's your business here, madam?

273
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,880
I come to dig, if you will let me.

274
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,480
Your name?

275
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,200
Sexby.

276
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:09,880
Mistress Sexby.

277
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,800
Your husband?

278
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,160
Gone from me.

279
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,600
Dead?

280
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,640
Not dead.

281
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,640
Gone to Ireland.

282
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,760
Come with me, Mistress Sexby.

283
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,000
Mistress Sexby
wishes to live among us.

284
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,720
Her husband is fighting
in Ireland.

285
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,880
You are welcome, Mistress Sexby.

286
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,920
Those who work, eat. We share all.

287
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,520
Your story is written in your hands.

288
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,800
I think you were not born
to this work.

289
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,280
My name is Christian.

290
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,120
Tell me about the man in the
earth whose grave you tend.

291
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,600
I never knew him but by report.

292
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,440
He raised up the common man.

293
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:43,440
He fought for his liberty
against the rich...and mighty.

294
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,080
Truly, I wish he was here.

295
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,240
Wishing will not bring him.

296
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,280
Nay but he should be here,

297
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,800
for we are living in the best
and last of days.

298
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,360
Our last days are near?

299
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,400
Christ is ready
to walk the earth again.

300
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,360
lt Do you not feel his love
all around you?

301
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,320
Christ Jesus has come to me.

302
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:11,000
Tell us what you saw, Jocelyn.

303
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,240
He came down last night
and lay by me in my bed.

304
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,800
told me he would come soon and
rain upon the earth 10,000 years.

305
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,160
lt Shall we pray, Mistress Sexby?

306
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,480
lt Oh, mighty God, who throughout
the mouths of babes

307
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,480
lt and sucklings
have ordained strength

308
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,120
and make of infants to glorify
thy name with their innocence.

309
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,040
Inspire us with thy grace...

310
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,240
Another sign.

311
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,600
Come.

312
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,240
We begin again.

313
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,000
Colonel,
did your party reach Wexford?

314
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,120
We were held a while
at Arklow, General.

315
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,600
It must be removed from our path.

316
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,480
It is done. The garrison fled.

317
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,360
What's left has been
driven into a bog.

318
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,640
There they wait for you.

319
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,120
Is this the flower
of all their army?

320
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,840
lt Bring them out.

321
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,680
lt They are stuck fast.

322
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:54,880
How many are they?

323
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,160
Twelve.

324
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,680
Twelve bullets then.
We're short on powder and shot.

325
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:30,840
Make ready the cannon!

326
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,080
Are you ready to surrender, sir? gt

327
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,680
Resist and you will
blow you all to atoms.

328
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,720
I cannot.

329
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,480
Surrender and you live.

330
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,720
Resist and your entire garrison will
be put to the sword - man and boy. gt

331
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,520
I may not.

332
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:10,640
He has orders. gt

333
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,480
He will not defend the town
purposefully

334
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,440
but needs to make a show of
a fight before he surrenders.

335
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,520
Purposeful or no,
they will die, all of them.

336
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,080
I'll drag no prisoners
across this benighted land.

337
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,160
Wake me when the walls are breached.

338
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,360
Prepare to die. gt

339
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,480
Ready?

340
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:50,920
Ready!

341
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,280
Fire the cannon!

342
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:46,800
Edward!

343
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,200
I hate to see any man's
resting place neglected.

344
00:34:13,240 --> 00:34:14,720
Let me help you.

345
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,880
Harry Fanshawe.

346
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,520
I wonder what he was?

347
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,040
Your words moved me, sir.

348
00:34:35,240 --> 00:34:38,400
When you said these days were
like the days of Christ on earth.

349
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,920
Full of love.

350
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,520
I feel that love
in these good people's hearts.

351
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,720
They are good people.

352
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,440
But they know not
the intenseness of the times.

353
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,960
But I believe that you do.

354
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:00,280
I believe that you taste the rare
and beautiful air that we breathe.

355
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,880
I have a sin to confess.

356
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,880
I am no priest, sir.

357
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,000
When I thought I heard you say
that your husband was dead...

358
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,000
..my heart was glad.

359
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,760
He lives...still.

360
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,520
Though he be far away.

361
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,200
Goodnight.

362
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,680
Both your husbands are dead, madam.

363
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:38,400
And lie here at my feet. gt

364
00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:42,280
I will tell no other.

365
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,480
For truly I think this the bravest
and best thing that any woman

366
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,400
ever did. gt

367
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:48,680
How do you know me?

368
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:53,440
My mother worked in your kitchens.

369
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,320
They hanged me as The Devil's Whore.

370
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:02,920
Then I love the Devil's whore,

371
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,680
for truly I could never love
my lady Angelica Fanshawe.

372
00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:09,040
She is far above me.

373
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,880
Though I would give my life for her.

374
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,440
Be not so eager to give
your life, Christian.

375
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,440
You may not be given
another, as I was.

376
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:00,840
Come.

377
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,000
The owner of the land
will never let us be.

378
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,280
Master Joliffe is not the
true owner of the land. gt

379
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:08,960
We are the owners of the land

380
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,560
for we work the land
and we make it fruitful.

381
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,360
Master Joliffe?

382
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,600
Aye, given it by Parliament. gt

383
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,600
These things began when she came.

384
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,640
You think
I brought these things upon you?

385
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,960
The Devil's work began
when you came among us,

386
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,160
with his mark upon your neck.
That is all.

387
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,840
lt They are frightened.

388
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,160
I will leave tomorrow.

389
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,040
I will follow you
to the end of the earth.

390
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,080
lt Christian...?

391
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,680
It is our desire, madam,
that you leave us.

392
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,560
You have your wish,

393
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,920
even though this life here began to
light a candle of hope in my heart.

394
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,280
We will not have fornicators!

395
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,080
I saw them. gt

396
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,280
lt She saw nothing.
The child imagines things.

397
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,760
I see the Devil at her side.

398
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,080
Aye. gt

399
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,760
She gave Satan her baby.

400
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,320
In God's name, make an end of this.

401
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,680
No, sir, we will make an end of you
and this woman, for if we do not,

402
00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:21,520
our enemies will call us
polygamists and drive us off!

403
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,560
Your enemies mean to drive you
off in any case, Maddy, and...

404
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,080
not for a kiss in the night.

405
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,080
Because you tell them to love their
fellow men more than money or land!

406
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,160
Was it not love
that brought you together? Then...

407
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,440
No more, madam.
You must both be gone tomorrow.

408
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,560
lt We will be gone. Fear not.

409
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,160
But I leave you with one question.

410
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,400
If all on earth are equal,

411
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,760
why do the women work
in the fields in the day

412
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,720
and make the men's dinners at night?

413
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,760
Sometimes we see what's not there.

414
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,120
We see demons of our own conjuring.

415
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,560
I demand the release
of my husband, John Lilburne!

416
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,760
Why do you sit here
with your bellies full

417
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,480
while famine grips the city?!

418
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:47,200
No women in this chamber!

419
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:51,320
Why is the Army forced to Ireland!?
We have no fights in Ireland!

420
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,400
Get you home and wash dishes.

421
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,080
They are sold to feed my children!

422
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:55,560
Leave her.

423
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,040
John will have a fair trial,
on my word.

424
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,680
Sir...

425
00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:08,920
If you take away John's life,

426
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,640
I will have yours!

427
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,040
Will they hang you today, John? gt

428
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,400
Hang me?
Ask my wife if they will hang me!

429
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,800
I have spent nine shillings
on a new pair of boots!

430
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,080
New boots! See?

431
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,320
New boots!

432
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:48,280
John Lilburne.

433
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,280
Where is he? Let me shake his hand.

434
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,520
Do you say you are not
John Lilburne?

435
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:56,960
Why should I say I am John Lilburne

436
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,840
when 'tis said you will hang him
for treason?

437
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,920
lt I say nothing on the matter.

438
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,920
You are charged with being the
author of these pamphlets,

439
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,560
lt which urge the Army
to seditious mutiny.

440
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:07,720
lt How me, sir?

441
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,440
For that it says the name
"John Lilburne" upon them.

442
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,960
Why, any man may write
"John Lilburne."

443
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,400
Do you deny being the
author of these pamphlets?

444
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,880
What need I deny it when I have not
said that I am John Lilburne?

445
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,320
And where is the man can prove
a single soldier mutinied

446
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,080
on account of these pamphlets,
in any case?

447
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,120
Where are your witnesses?

448
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,120
All in Ireland!

449
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:38,480
I prithee, let me see the charges
and have time to study the case!

450
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,400
Sir, you mock this court!

451
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,720
No, sir! You mock this court,

452
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:46,080
as you mock justice,
as you mock truth and liberty!

453
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:47,720
But they will not be mocked forever,

454
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,440
in the name of Almighty God
in heaven!

455
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,280
Ah, now I remember me you!

456
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,600
Were not you, sir, and you, sir,

457
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:01,640
and yes, you, sir, all on the King's
side when first we began our quarrel?

458
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:06,280
Until, as I remember, until Oliver's
Army began to turn the tide when -

459
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,840
God's amazement -
you found yourselves coming over.

460
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,600
Whereas John Lilburne,
wherever he may be,

461
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:18,760
did fight at Kineton
and at Newbury and at Marston Field!

462
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,520
My bladder is swollen, sir.
May I go out to relieve myself?

463
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:26,640
No, sir.

464
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,720
Then bring me a pot to piss in!

465
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:55,400
Sirrahs...

466
00:42:55,440 --> 00:43:00,520
I am Honest John Lilburne,
author of the pamphlets

467
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:06,080
that urge the army to resist an
unlawful and barbaric war in Ireland.

468
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,800
And you, my fellow citizens,

469
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,280
are the only judges that matter
in this place.

470
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:18,120
You, and you alone,
have the decision.

471
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,360
My life is in your hands.

472
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,280
Men of the jury,
what is your verdict? gt

473
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,720
We have found John Lilburne... gt

474
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,480
..not guilty.

475
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,200
I am glad to see you alive.

476
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:37,440
"Glad?"

477
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,120
Who is he?

478
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,240
A friend.

479
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,160
I never misled you, Sexby.

480
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,880
You asked for no love,
nor marriage bed,

481
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,200
and my heart promised you neither.

482
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:57,000
Aye, but madam, I never thought you
would dishonour me before all eyes.

483
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,120
You are not dishonoured, save
your taking part in Irish massacres.

484
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,560
I thought of you every minute.

485
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,840
While you slaughtered other
men's wives and children?

486
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,400
What now?

487
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:19,920
I am your wife.

488
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,640
I am yours to command.

489
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,840
I do not command.

490
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,080
You must go wherever
your heart inclines you.

491
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,120
Then fare you well.

492
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,400
Wait.

493
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,520
I command.

494
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,560
What is your future? More soldiering?

495
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,240
I am a spoiled soldier...

496
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,280
..for which I am glad.

497
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:06,640
For truly, I have seen my fill
of butchering in this vile world.

498
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,760
The world is not vile...

499
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,560
..though some are that are in it.

500
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,440
Even they can be
saved by love, I think.

501
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:20,560
Love?

502
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,160
Aye, love.

503
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,480
lt I think you do not know it.

504
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,080
And I pity you for it.

505
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:32,320
Did love help the Diggers when
the army trampled their fields?

506
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,240
No.

507
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,040
What did love do for any man,

508
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,480
except make him run like
a fool to his destruction?

509
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,720
The Diggers had not too much love,
sir, but too little.

510
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:47,240
But there are those who believe
that love can save us all.

511
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:50,200
Ranters?

512
00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:52,040
Only their enemies call them that.

513
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,720
They call themselves
the High Attainers,

514
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,200
and I have made friends amongst them.

515
00:46:55,240 --> 00:46:56,920
Ranters?!

516
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,880
Sir, you are drunk.

517
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:05,280
Madam, do you know where this "love"
will bring you?

518
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,640
Do you know they have made
female adultery a capital offence?

519
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,040
If you continue as you are,
they will hang you again.

520
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,200
Who will save you? That boy?

521
00:47:15,240 --> 00:47:18,640
That "boy", sir, may not know how to
split a man open with his sword,

522
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,040
but he sees the truth in us.

523
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,440
In who? In me?

524
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,160
In me.

525
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,720
In us all. He sees love
shining in our hearts,

526
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,920
and he sees what it can do here,
on earth.

527
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:34,760
Sexby, what use to bring down
kings or parcel out land,

528
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,760
if we do not share all that is in us?

529
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:45,520
Madam...do you lie with him?

530
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,280
Like all men, you are
a fool when you drink.

531
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,800
Do you lie with him?
Have you lain with him?

532
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:52,600
Let me go from here, sir.

533
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,120
Where to?

534
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:57,320
To him?

535
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,640
Oh, he "loves" you.
He loves your innards,

536
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,200
where the light does shine,
whereas I...

537
00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:13,920
Sexby, I can never love you.

538
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,560
Ever. gt

539
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,320
I am sorry for you.

540
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,600
I am grateful to you.

541
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:33,880
But I will never love you.

542
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,160
Why do you stop, sir?
The law says you own me.

543
00:49:07,240 --> 00:49:09,920
Live as you please. You are free. gt

544
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,440
But there is no freedom.

545
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,880
Except that which comes
with money and power.

546
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,200
If you know of any other kind,
then...

547
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,280
..you must run after it.

548
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,400
Go.

549
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,440
Where is Christian?

550
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,120
She must not escape a third time.

551
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,640
She'll not, sir.

552
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,400
I've led her by the nose
like a willing sow.

553
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,120
And she truly believed
in the Diggers?

554
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:28,920
Aye, sir.

555
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,360
She gave her heart
to fools and thieves.

556
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,280
And now?

557
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:38,040
Now she believes the world
she longs for is finally at hand.

558
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,040
It is.

559
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,320
Sir, may your victory
be the vanguard of ours.

560
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:06,760
'Your release the harbinger
of freedom for all on Earth.'

561
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:10,280
The perfect freedom
of universal love.

562
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,440
Universal love?

563
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,920
Universal love.

564
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:18,520
Universal love.

565
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:19,600
Universal love!

566
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:34,080
What must be done today?

567
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,560
All will be unmasked.

568
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,040
Only madmen oppose us now.
I pray you be not mad.

569
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:42,480
Sexby, no!

570
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:47,400
Every schoolboy will learn
the name of Edward Sexby.

571
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,640
That it set England
free of its chains.

572
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,560
I thought I'd lost you.

573
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,320
