Cromwell's rule is ever bloodier and more controversial, nobody feeling safe anymore amongst factions and treason, yet the Lord Protector achieves a monarchy in all but name. Elizabeth Lillburne is jailed for life without trial. Saxby resigns as colonel's commission on account of his war-wrecked hand. Plotting and discovered intrigues make many fatal victims, including Joliffe. Angelica survives everybody alone, but for Saxby's posthumous daughter. Starring: Andrea Riseborough, John Simm, Michael Fassbender, Dominic West, Tim McInnerny, Peter Capaldi.

00:11Bring her.
00:14What shall I call you now, madam?
00:17Mistress Sexby.
00:21Your friends, the ranters, the high attainers,
00:29they find holiness in tobacco and alcohol and fornication.
00:34God in an ivy leaf.
00:36God in yourselves.
00:38And the Bible is waste paper.
00:40Who tells you this?
00:42I fear you mean to crush us as you did the levellers.
00:46Bluntly, madam.
00:48In a world without hell, how will I uphold the law?
00:54Was this the freedom you fought so bravely for, my Lord General?
00:58All that we fought for is in the balance.
01:00There is anarchy abroad and the Parliament want an iron hand.
01:04Parliament wants money and land.
01:07It took my land and gave it to Master Jolliffe to enjoy for the term of his life.
01:11Master Jolliffe who called me a whore.
01:13Aye, there are some that would like the clocks to be turned back,
01:16but I will not let them, for all they're bleeding in Parliament.
01:19Then leave my friends free to speak the love that lives in their hearts.
01:23You're certain of their hearts?
01:29We seek an honest way to live on Earth, now.
01:32Not in terror of what's to come.
01:38Yet you blaspheme, madam.
01:40What, will you burn me?
01:42Put a branding iron on me.
01:44Hang me.
01:48Have a care, Angelica.
01:55There is a world of difference between freedom and licentiousness.
02:02And think of me as your friend.
02:04And visit me.
02:11My old friends, they veer away from me now.
02:34My lady.
03:00I must confess to you.
03:04My heart is not true.
03:08It betrays me every hour that I'm with you.
03:13I'm lured on a desire that the world tells me what I conceive of you is sin.
03:20Is love a sin, madam?
03:24Tell me that it is not a sin.
03:27I am married, Kristen.
03:34In outward form only.
03:36Yet I will not dishonor him.
03:44Why did you resign your commission?
03:45Still no better man for a fight in these islands.
03:55I'm finished with fighting.
03:57Well, then I have other work for you.
04:00Honest John has met with the Cavaliers.
04:03They've talked about bringing in the King's son from France.
04:06Oh, I know this to be true.
04:07How know it?
04:08We have agents among the malcontents.
04:13What work?
04:16Go to them, as one disaffected with me, and seek out their thoughts and their strength.
04:25Where is Honest John now?
04:30Have you read this?
04:31He calls upon the nation to rise up against you.
04:34Do you not sleep easily in your palace at Hampton, my lord?
04:37The country was pleased to show its gratitude to my lord for his many services.
04:42Parliament gave it. I remember not the country being asked.
04:45Perhaps Master Sexby need not act a part of disaffected.
04:48I could not tolerate this, Edward. This is open rebellion.
04:52Then put him on trial.
04:53Where's the jury that will find him guilty?
04:57No. No trial.
04:59If you move against him without the law, the whole of London will burn.
05:10Do you smell smoke?
05:13Honest John is even now sailing for Jersey,
05:15where the writ of habeas corpus does not run.
05:20Give me your answer tomorrow.
05:22Have it now.
05:25I will not act parts.
05:27Have a care, Edward.
05:29We must all bend to the times, all of us.
05:34What will not bend may break.
05:38Tomorrow.
05:46You must pull your wife out of the ranters, sir.
05:50She does not wear my reins, sir.
05:52Pity for her, and for you.
05:55She runs to her utter destruction.
05:57.
06:09.
06:21.
06:22I'm going to go in there.
06:24I'll go in there.
06:30It's on the back of the street.
06:33Let's go!
06:34Yeah!
06:35The other guy.
06:36Stop it!
06:52How's the game?
06:58Near one, sir.
07:02Is she debauched? Have you heard it yet?
07:07Not yet.
07:09You're too slow.
07:12It must happen today for all to see.
07:15Troopers come to arrest the fornicators.
07:22You're too slow.
07:24Let's go.
07:26And you're too slow.
07:28Let's go.
07:30We'll be back on the floor.
07:33And now you're too slow.
07:34Help me.
07:35We're down.
07:36Help me.
07:37Help me.
07:38Help me.
07:39Help me.
07:40Help me.
07:41Help me.
07:42Help me.
07:43Help me.
07:47Help me.
07:48Cry out, Master Jolef, and I will open your nose like a fig.
07:58Now, tell me, what must be done today?
08:06Oh, we'll be unmasked.
08:14Kill him!
08:18Christian, I know you have a true heart, but I...
08:37I want to find you.
08:58It's found you.
09:02I wanted universal love.
09:06And here it is, the genuine resurrection.
09:10The world turned upside down, and here your portion.
09:16You made me wait a weary year for that.
09:19Oh, my God!
09:22Oh, my God!
09:25It's not a treasure!
09:27Oh, my God!
09:28Oh, my God!
09:31Oh, my God!
09:34Oh, my God!
09:35Arrest her!
09:38Bring her up!
10:05Thank you very much.
10:35I don't know what to do.
10:43Neither poisoned you is food for dogs now.
10:48He was in paid service.
10:52He's tasked to debauch you and bring further ridicule upon the renters.
10:56Who?
11:06Jolliffe.
11:09That should have died in Whiteham Woods.
11:12Yet he will die.
11:14And soon...
11:16Leave him, Sexby.
11:20He's an account that must be settled.
11:23I will settle it.
11:26There's food.
11:27Sexby.
11:28Call for Coles.
11:30I will return tonight.
11:59Are you unwell?
12:21No.
12:23All is well.
12:25Nothing is ill.
12:27I will return.
12:28They have silenced on us, John, that they have murdered Thomas Rainsbury.
12:33There is none but us now.
12:36You love a fool.
13:03For that I've been.
13:09My love began on the day you married Harry Fanshawe.
13:21I did not know I had a heart until that hour.
13:27You filled it with unknown creatures whose names were Joy and Hope.
13:39Both sharper blades than any that had cut me before.
13:45I have something of yours.
13:56I've kept it on me every day.
13:58Then do not part with it now, as I will not with you, if you will take me.
14:09You do not say aye, sir.
14:23I cannot take Rainsbury's widow to me while his murderers still walk the earth.
14:30Even yesterday, scenes of abominable lewdness and fornication were uncovered among the ranters.
14:41While this house nods asleep and speaks of toleration.
14:45Sirs, this toleration will undo us all.
14:50Let the fornicators be brought before the magistrates and be punished.
14:55Then, lewd ill manners, do not argue an end to religious toleration.
15:00Now, you have other business today, I'm told.
15:12The motion is that this house declares that no authority shall end this house's sessions.
15:18Will you persist, sirs?
15:19Except its own authority.
15:21What, you will keep yourselves here in perpetuity, then?
15:23Those for the motion say aye.
15:25Enough!
15:30I'll put an end to your prattling.
15:33You are no parliament!
15:35Get you gone!
15:36Don't!
15:37Hold it!
15:43Get you gone!
15:44Take your hands!
15:51Take your hands!
15:54Take this bauble with you!
16:00Take your hands!
16:17What is this place?
16:18Montorgil.
16:19In English, Mount Pride.
16:23It is your pride has got you your new home.
16:25It is the Lord General himself has sent you here.
16:28This is your tomb, sir.
16:30You have doubts, Edward.
16:48Will you play a part with the Cavalier Party?
16:51Do you have agents among all the parties?
16:53That you need not know.
16:54How long have you had agents amongst the Royalist Party?
16:56Sir, I have other business.
16:58Had you agents amongst the Royalists at the time of Thomas Rainsborough's murder?
17:03Why were those men heard to cry out that they came from Cromwell?
17:08I will tell my lord that your answer was no.
17:12He will not be pleased.
17:14I will tell him myself.
17:17Then find him at Westminster, for there he stays.
17:22Saxby.
17:26Only madmen oppose us now.
17:29I pray you be not mad.
17:36Westminster, come.
17:37Saxby, stay.
17:39Talk with me.
17:41We talked the night he was cut in pieces.
17:42No more talk.
17:45Edward, are you with me again?
17:48Saxby.
17:52What is it, Edward?
17:52My lord, we came to ask mercy for John Lilburn and to pray you.
17:58When will he have his trial?
18:00Never, madam.
18:02Then when will he be free?
18:06Again, never.
18:08And when will his wife and children see him?
18:10Once more, madam.
18:13Never.
18:13Come, Edward.
18:16All this you know.
18:19Stand out of my way.
18:25Did you order the murder of Thomas Rainsborough?
18:27Sexby, no!
18:39He's unwell, my lord.
18:40His brain is hot.
18:41He's sick.
18:42He's ever your lordship's loving servant.
18:45Hurt not a hair on his head.
18:47He was a brother to me.
18:49Take him to the coast and put him out of England tonight.
18:52Sexby, if you return ever, I will have you hanged.
18:55Away.
18:57I don't have to settle all accounts.
19:01Sexby!
19:02Where are you?
19:03Let me go with him.
19:04He is all I have left now.
19:15Let him go, madam, from whence he came.
19:17There's fighting in the Low Countries.
19:18He will find wages there.
19:19Edward was never happy, except he was cutting throats.
19:25He's not for you.
19:26He will find friends.
19:52He's good.
20:24Why do you dally? Where's my wine?
20:38I came with what speed I could, sir.
20:42Are you impatient?
20:47Truly, this day has been a long while in the coming.
20:50Huh. Well, the whore is a man again.
20:58You are an abomination in the eyes of God and of all godly men.
21:03Why have you persecuted me, sir?
21:06Because you are the age, madam.
21:09Weak, womanish, lustful.
21:13And not a one of you knows where you should be.
21:16And where should we be?
21:17You, madam, should be dead.
21:19I watched you hang.
21:22I saw your pretty ankles kicking at the clouds.
21:29Would I have pulled the rope myself?
21:32Then I would be a phantom.
21:37Phantoms cannot harm us.
21:39But, sir, I'm not your crippled imaginings.
21:46I am flesh.
21:49And blood.
21:50Oh, my God.
22:12Oh, my God.
22:14Oh, my God.
22:16Oh, my God.
22:17Party, party!
22:21Party!
22:32Speak not of Edward Sexby, I beg of you. He is gone, and that is flat.
22:37Elizabeth Lilburn will not kneel before you because her husband forbade her
22:41ever ask a favour of the tyrant, but I kneel on her behalf.
22:47Walk with me.
22:54I never looked for aught of this.
22:57I was just a farmer.
22:59God showed me the way to lead men in battle.
23:03I never thought I have a nation's care in my weak sinner's hands.
23:13Will you eat a simple supper with me, Angelica?
23:18So have you forgiven me?
23:22For what?
23:25I took a husband from you.
23:27You took two.
23:30When he sent Thomas Rainsborough to Pontefract,
23:33it was to cut the head off the Levellers, was it not?
23:35What?
23:41Aye, it was.
23:43Did you strike him down, Oliver?
23:49I would have...
23:51faced him in the field.
23:53I would have...
23:55killed him there with God's help.
23:58He was murdered by the Cavaliers, Angelica, as God is my witness.
24:14And if he'd killed you in the field?
24:17A different England?
24:18If Thomas sat here now, instead of Oliver?
24:22What would be different?
24:24Thomas and freedom, Oliver and tyranny?
24:28Oliver and order.
24:32Thomas...
24:34and convulsion.
24:37And if convulsion, then famine.
24:39And if famine, then where is the freedom?
24:40Where is freedom from us, John?
24:42Each new day brings another plot to assassinate me and bring us closer to anarchy and terror.
24:55In times like this, some of the freedoms we fought for must be sacrificed.
25:02There is nothing that now stands between us and utter destruction but me.
25:14Almighty God chose me.
25:17Not Thomas Rainsborough nor anyone else.
25:19He chose me.
25:25And he chooses the path I must now follow.
25:27I would have your understanding of what I must now give to the nation.
25:37Which is what?
25:40They will never be settled until they have a king again.
25:46What is the word king but a bauble?
25:49It's a feather in the cap.
25:51Well, why not in mine?
25:52I thought Honest John had lost his senses when he told us this day would come.
26:03So did I, madam.
26:06Well then...
26:10King Oliver first.
26:14And England will have another king, chosen by God.
26:18So much blood spilt for so little.
26:38I came to petition you for Elizabeth Lilburn.
26:43What is your answer, my lord?
26:46Your petitions are granted.
26:51She shall have a pension.
26:52She may visit the island.
26:56Angelica.
26:59Prepare Elizabeth.
27:03Freeborn John Lilburn is...
27:06broken in pieces.
27:11Fare you well, Oliver.
27:15We shall never meet again.
27:16We shall never meet again.
27:36John, I couldn't bring you pen and paper.
27:38I feared they might execute you if you took up the pen.
27:46I fear that all our lives.
27:49No matter now, Beth.
27:55It was all mistaken.
27:56It was all mistaken.
28:00What was mistaken, John?
28:04To change the temporal world.
28:07All that matters is what waits for us.
28:10Elizabeth, he knows not what he says.
28:13Indeed I do, madam.
28:14When I am free, I will take up my cross.
28:20I will crucify the pride of me.
28:25I will tell Oliver, do the same.
28:30I cannot tell him.
28:33I cannot tell him.
28:36You cannot tell me.
28:39You cannot tell me what, madam?
28:47Though he will call himself Lord Protector,
28:51Oliver is to be king.
28:52Forgive me.
29:10For what?
29:15All.
29:17To the last of my days.
29:22My proudest boast will ever be
29:25that I was the wife of free-born John Lilburn.
29:46?!
29:53Brink in!
30:01Ere the wicked cease on trouble.
30:03Alright, sirs!
30:05Ere the weary are at rest.
30:09Ere the prisoners rest together.
30:11They hear not the voice of the U.S.
30:16Put him in.
30:18Here lies you reborn.
30:20No speeches.
30:21We'll be damned before I will let you silence her.
30:24This is my land you're standing on.
30:26Madam, I was told no speeches.
30:41Do your work, sirs.
30:46And you, to your homes.
31:11I thought I'd lost you.
31:36Not yet.
31:38Good sir.
31:47When the world began its turning, a little thought I would be turned.
31:52So utterly.
31:58Nor I.
32:01Come, mistress mine.
32:08Not yet.
32:11From your home.
32:13A little fear.
32:15Nothing ever.
32:17I'm afraid you're not alone.
32:19You've gone through it.
32:20New hair.
32:21In a very light.
32:23You've been by the light.
32:25You've been by the light.
32:27How do I do it?
32:29First peep.
32:59The dark is clearing, like mist uprising from the waterland where I began.
33:17Jack has his jill, then nought shall go ill.
33:25Sexby, why have you come back?
33:33To kill the king.
33:37Every schoolboy will learn the name of Edward Sexby.
33:52Let it set England free of its chains.
33:58And I will be free.
34:02What is it you look for?
34:06Nothing, madam.
34:10But I swear in my life that I do love thee.
34:16Then give this up.
34:24And come with me to the new world.
34:30You must have the life you choose.
34:34I fear my ending will not be yours.
34:38Must all end in blood?
34:40Aye.
34:42All must end in blood.
34:48One week hence, on the day of Oliver's glory, wait for me at the sea.
35:10The parish bells welcome England's new king.
35:14Think not to see me again.
35:16I will not be given to the butchers.
35:19That day will shake the world, madam.
35:23And all the blood will not have been in vain.
35:28Do you know me, Angelica?
35:32Aye, Edward.
35:38You are yourself.
35:58There are many now among us who see him as a traitor and a tyrant.
36:13He will get the nation's thanks.
36:15He does this.
36:18This is your place, sir.
36:21Here I will make my horse seem lame.
36:24His carriage will have to stop.
36:28No trick.
36:29Sorry, oww.
36:48.
36:56Good morrow to you.
37:10Good morrow, your highness.
37:13Nay.
37:14Let me be old and all a few hours more.
37:19Toop.
37:22Today you ride before me.
37:23I recall a time I rode before you, do you remember?
37:28A Kyneton fight, my lord.
37:31It was a brave fight.
37:34Aye, my lord.
37:36I remember.
37:46I remember you well.
37:50Did you not fight near me when we saved Honest John and his dragoons?
37:54Very near, my lord.
37:58Remember Freeborn John, how he fought?
38:02Till he was one heartbeat away from paradise.
38:07I robbed him of a martyr's death.
38:10And he never forgave me.
38:11I remember John Littleburn every night in my prayers, my lord.
38:22As do I, too.
38:23Did you ever think this day would come?
38:38No.
38:40My lord, I did not.
38:41I did not.
38:42I did not.
38:42My lord.
38:44I did not.
38:45I did not.
38:47No.
38:47I did not.
38:50Let's go.
39:20Let's go.
39:50Let's go.
40:20My Lord, I cannot let you proceed any further.
40:35Let's go.
40:36Let's go.
40:37Let's go.
40:38Let's go.
40:39Let's go.

41:11Let's go.
41:12Let's go.
41:13Let's go.
41:14Let's go.
41:15Let's go.
43:15On the day Sexby died, the new life he left me was already quick within me.
43:33Soon after Beth entered her new world, Oliver departed the old one he turned upside down.
43:56Oh Lord, give them consistency of judgment.
44:03Oh Lord.
44:05Oh Lord.
44:07Oh Lord.
