00:02:29Stop! I command you!
00:02:41Father!
00:02:43Father!
00:02:59Father!
00:03:17Forgive me, Father.
00:03:21Forgive me.
00:03:29A letter from Sir Mama Duke Langdale, Your Majesty.
00:03:37I must have a new coat.
00:03:39It's fit only to be burnt.
00:03:41We must not waste what little money we have on vanity.
00:03:45King cannot present himself in public dressed as a beggar.
00:03:49Your Majesty has no more credit but the tailor.
00:03:51He will not lift a finger until his debts are paid.
00:03:55That is the King's private correspondence.
00:03:58Langdale says he is rallying your supporters in the north of England.
00:04:06All it requires to trigger a rebellion is your royal presence.
00:04:10Well, Sir Edward, what are we waiting for?
00:04:13Langdale has neither the men nor the resources to defeat Cromwell.
00:04:18If I land in England now, my head will be on the block within a week.
00:04:22Exactly so.
00:04:24Send him encouragement.
00:04:26Tell him that we will return to England when the moment is right.
00:04:30Only God knows when that might be.
00:04:32We must be patient, Your Majesty.
00:04:34Do you ever counsel anything else, Sir Edward?
00:04:36The time will come, George.
00:04:38Thank God we're out of that dismal place.
00:04:48Some days I feel as hope will suffocate me.
00:04:52Well, Hyde would like nothing more than to smother you with paper.
00:04:54He has my best interest at heart, George.
00:04:56That must be so. He tells you so often enough.
00:04:58What I have in store for you will do more good than all of Hyde's lectures on statecraft.
00:05:04Something I must do first.
00:05:05We're already late.
00:05:06My son's more important than your whores, George.
00:05:07Come on.
00:05:08His Latin and Greek require improvement, but he has a sound enough brain.
00:05:14You must listen to your teachers, and work your studies dilettantly.
00:05:16You must make me proud.
00:05:17You must listen to your teachers, and work your studies dilettantly.
00:05:19You must make me proud.
00:05:20I gave this to your mother before she died.
00:05:21You must be proud.
00:05:22Your wife, your son.
00:05:23You are back.
00:05:24Well, you are taking me.
00:05:25You are taking me, George.
00:05:26I want you to be�떼.
00:05:27I want you to be proud, George.
00:05:28You are running me, George.
00:05:29I want you to be glad to be a teenager.
00:05:30Your son is more important than your whores, George.
00:05:31Come on.
00:05:32Your son is more important than your whores, George.
00:05:33George.
00:05:34Come on.
00:05:35His Latin and Greek require improvement.
00:05:36But he has a sound enough brain.
00:05:37You must listen to your teachers, and work your studies dilettantly.
00:05:39You must make me proud.
00:05:42You must make me proud.
00:05:43I gave this to your mother before she died.
00:05:48It's yours now, Jamie.
00:06:15She's yours as long as you want her.
00:06:18A gift to the king from his humble servant.
00:06:21The king is suitably grateful.
00:06:24He wonders why his servant is suddenly so much wealthier than him.
00:06:27Small family bequest.
00:06:32Hyde could loosen the purse strings if he wanted to.
00:06:35He suits him to keep you poor in his power.
00:06:37His judgment saved us from disaster more than once.
00:06:40Hyde is utterly loyal.
00:06:42So are dogs.
00:06:43Face it, you need a man who can deal with Cromwell on his own terms.
00:06:48Someone willing to be more accommodating.
00:06:51Cromwell is king of England in all but name.
00:06:53King needs an heir.
00:06:54Now who is to say that on the right terms it might not be you?
00:06:57You can agree to a more limited role for the monarchy.
00:07:01Are you suggesting I grovel to my father's murderers?
00:07:03We have been in exile for years and you are further from the throne than ever.
00:07:07If you want to be king in more than name, the time has come to compromise.
00:07:16Even you know the difference between compromise and dishonour.
00:07:19I'm going home, Charles.
00:07:33I'll come with you.
00:07:34I mean, I'm going home to England.
00:07:38Fairfax has offered me his daughter's hand in marriage.
00:07:41He's willing to intercede with Cromwell on my behalf.
00:07:47Your family bequest.
00:07:49It's an advance in my diary.
00:07:52Seems a noble title still means something, even to the Republicans.
00:07:55I am so sick of living our dreams.
00:08:04I want to go home.
00:08:05So do I.
00:08:07But not as a slave.
00:08:11We grew up together, George.
00:08:14We've shared everything.
00:08:16Even the murder of our fathers for their sake.
00:08:20Please, don't abandon me now.
00:08:25I'm begging you, George.
00:08:31Don't do this.
00:08:33I will always be your friend.
00:08:35I'm still king!
00:08:36King of what?
00:08:44Most dutiful children would be pleased to accompany their mother to church.
00:08:48Not you, it seems.
00:08:50Too busy, I suppose, or can't be bothered.
00:08:52My brother, the king, forbids me to attend a Catholic mass, as your majesty knows.
00:08:58I know your martyred father sits with the angels at God's right hand, weeping at your stubbornness and ingratitude.
00:09:06His last words to me were that I should never abandon the Church of England.
00:09:10I'm sure he said no such thing.
00:09:13Or if he did, it was because he was upset.
00:09:16I know what he meant.
00:09:18And he meant you to become a Catholic.
00:09:19I have forbidden this subject.
00:09:24England is a Protestant country.
00:09:28When I reclaim my throne, it will be because I am a Protestant king.
00:09:32Any suggestion that I, or my brothers, a Catholic, would wreck my chances at a stroke.
00:09:46Did you know that last night at dinner, I was obliged to eat all five courses from the same plate?
00:09:51I've never heard of anything so disgusting.
00:09:55There's no money for new plates.
00:09:57And even if there was, we couldn't pay anyone to wash them.
00:10:00If you weren't so stubborn, we could have all the money we want.
00:10:04Louis of France wishes to help.
00:10:06All you have to do is to make a gesture.
00:10:08Become a Catholic like him.
00:10:10He would put an army at your disposal tomorrow.
00:10:13We could be in London within a month.
00:10:15If the people of England were confronted with a Catholic king at the head of a French army,
00:10:19they'd rise up against it as one man.
00:10:20Oh, of course, my advice is of no use.
00:10:21I'm just a foolish old woman.
00:10:24Your father, the king, seemed to value my opinion.
00:10:28But you know better, I am sure.
00:10:37You know how I value your counsel, Mother.
00:10:40Leave me now.
00:10:41I want to pray to my sainted husband, God rest his soul.
00:10:46And do not expect me to eat my supper from dirty plates again.
00:10:53Lord and Lady James Bridstock.
00:11:01Sir Andrew McIntosh.
00:11:05Sir Roger and Lady Palmer.
00:11:11Lady Palmer.
00:11:22Your Honour's.
00:11:37The honour's mine, Your Majesty.
00:11:40Sir Roger.
00:11:41Has been most generous to our cause.
00:11:45Oh, we must show our gratitude.
00:11:47Dine with us tonight.
00:11:48It would be a privilege, Your Majesty.
00:11:51I think we met before, madam.
00:11:53Lady Palmer is cousin to the Duke of Buckingham.
00:11:58Of course.
00:11:59Barbara Villiers.
00:12:01What news is there of George?
00:12:03Cromwell had him thrown into the tower soon after his return to England.
00:12:07Accused of plotting on your behalf?
00:12:09If he was, I knew nothing of it.
00:12:10Until tonight, then, Sir Roger.
00:12:23Charles, Lord Chesterfield's mistress, and not her only lover, by all accounts.
00:12:29The woman is little better than a whore.
00:12:32You know how I detest gossip, James.
00:12:35Particularly where a lady's reputation is concerned.
00:12:37As you say, she's not a message.
00:12:47I think so.
00:12:49I don't have a wish.
00:12:50I don't know.
00:12:51I think so.
00:12:52I don't know.
00:12:53I don't know.
00:12:54I don't know.
00:12:55I don't know.
00:12:56I don't know.
00:12:57I don't know.
00:12:59It's been months.
00:13:26Now, Mrs. Palmer, do not imagine that I will wait forever.
00:13:42You're not this modest with Lord Chesterfield.
00:13:45Lord Chesterfield is extremely generous.
00:13:47Oh, so it's money you want?
00:13:49Doesn't everyone?
00:13:51As I have known, you will not lie with me.
00:13:53I have lain with much poorer men than you.
00:13:56No.
00:13:58It's not as simple as that.
00:14:01You see, if I...
00:14:06It's been months now, Mrs. Palmer.
00:14:14Do not imagine that I will wait forever.
00:14:24You're not this modest with Lord Chesterfield.
00:14:29Lord Chesterfield is extremely generous.
00:14:31Oh, so it's money you want?
00:14:33Doesn't everyone?
00:14:35As I have known, you will not lie with me.
00:14:37I have lain with much poorer men than you.
00:14:39No.
00:14:41It's not as simple as that.
00:14:45You see, I find something pathetic in the notion of a king.
00:14:51Neither riches nor power.
00:14:53It makes me pity you.
00:14:55And in that mood, I have no desire left to make love.
00:15:00I was told you could be cruel.
00:15:04Oh, now you're sulking.
00:15:06Do you care nothing for me at all?
00:15:08Hmm?
00:15:10My darling, I love you more than any man on earth.
00:15:20That's why I want everything to be perfect when we do lie together.
00:15:24No, I really must go.
00:15:28My husband will be back soon.
00:15:31Not that he'd notice if I entertained an entire troop of Dutch cavalry in his bed.
00:15:50Charles.
00:15:54I promise, when the time comes, it will be worth the wait.
00:16:14Point!
00:16:15Mind shot, Henry.
00:16:18James, serve! James!
00:16:20Serve!
00:16:21Could we just have a moment, please, Charles?
00:16:24Game!
00:16:25Nonsense!
00:16:26It missed!
00:16:27A clear hit!
00:16:28Honored, you decide.
00:16:29A hit, your majesty.
00:16:30Ha!
00:16:31Honest judge.
00:16:32Sick of us!
00:16:33The bulls inch his white!
00:16:34Your majesty.
00:16:35It is the Lord's work.
00:16:36A miracle!
00:16:37Oliver Cromwell is dead.
00:16:38Oliver Cromwell is dead.
00:16:39When?
00:16:40Three days ago.
00:16:44The tyrant is no more.
00:16:45Praise be to God.
00:16:46My dearest boy.
00:16:52Your moment is at hand.
00:16:53Your moment is at hand.
00:16:57Ha!
00:16:58Ha!
00:16:59Ha!
00:17:00Ha!
00:17:01Ha!
00:17:02Ha!
00:17:03Ha!
00:17:04Ha!
00:17:05Ha!
00:17:06Ha!
00:17:07Ha!
00:17:08Ha!
00:17:09Ha!
00:17:10Ha!
00:17:11Ha!
00:17:12Ha!
00:17:13Ha!
00:17:14Ha!
00:17:15Ha!
00:17:16Ha!
00:17:17Ha!
00:17:19Un Time!
00:17:20zed?
00:17:21usp serial?
00:17:22Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:17:52Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go!
00:18:22General Monk.
00:18:37It grieves me to find you in such a place, my lord.
00:18:43You should see Antwerp.
00:18:46This is what happens when the people lose respect for their leaders.
00:18:51If God had granted Cromwell another ten years of life, the republic would have been secure forever.
00:18:58And if his mother had strangled him in the cradle, England would have been saved many years of misery and repression.
00:19:04Cromwell's son cannot cling to power much longer.
00:19:09When he goes, this disorder will grow a hundred times worse.
00:19:15Unless someone can be found to unite all parties in loyalty and obedience.
00:19:20I've come to the view that there is only one man alive with the status to perform such a task.
00:19:27I'm guessing you mean either yourself or the king.
00:19:30If I wanted the throne for myself, I would have left you here to rot undisturbed.
00:19:35I want you to write to the king in my name.
00:19:42Tell him he must rule with parliament or not at all.
00:19:47And what was done to his father must be forgiven.
00:19:50If he accepts these terms, he will have my allegiance.
00:19:57Why should the king trust you?
00:20:02I will not lead him into a trap.
00:20:04If a crown is the price of stable government, I am prepared to pay it.
00:20:15Richard Cromwell has lost control.
00:20:17There is widespread unrest and the London mob is demanding the return of their king.
00:20:22Not long ago, they wanted his death.
00:20:25There is no time to dwell on the past.
00:20:27Buckingham writes that General Monk has rallied his army and is ready to demand a freely elected parliament.
00:20:33If we give him the encouragement he seeks, he will declare himself publicly for your restoration.
00:20:38I trust Monk little on my lord Buckingham even less.
00:20:41Monk is a soldier of the old school.
00:20:44Whatever harm he has done our cause in the past, I believe we can trust him now.
00:20:53Flutter him.
00:20:55Ask his advice, even though we don't need it.
00:20:59Promise an amnesty.
00:21:01And make it clear that when I am king, I will make him rich beyond anything he can dream of.
00:21:08The very course of action I was about to suggest, your majesty.
00:21:11Charles Stewart has declared that there will be no revenge taken on those who have opposed him.
00:21:20Our lives and our property will be safe.
00:21:24The army will receive its back pay in full.
00:21:28And a bill will be placed before this house promising freedom of worship to dissenters.
00:21:33He's also declared that the theatres will be reopened and music and dancing no longer forbidden.
00:21:46The time has come to heal our country's divisions.
00:21:51I call on this house to invite Charles Stewart to return to England as our king.
00:22:02The age of miracles has not yet passed.
00:22:05The Republic never had a truer friend in Shaftesbury, yet here he is calling louder than anyone for the king's return.
00:22:10We're all monarchists now, my lord.
00:22:14The king has retired for the night.
00:22:31The king has retired for the night.
00:22:32The king has retired for the years.
00:22:33The king has retired for the years.
00:22:34The king has retired for the years.
00:22:53Get out.
00:22:54I'm going to get this out.
00:23:14You're mine now.
00:23:20Do you understand?
00:23:25You'll be mine till I tell you it, sir.
00:23:33That will not be for a long time yet.
00:23:54For what's going on?
00:23:57For what's going on?
00:24:00For what's going on?
00:24:02Welcome home, Your Majesty!
00:24:23Welcome home, Your Majesty!
00:24:26Welcome home, Your Majesty!
00:24:32Welcome home and glad you joined the war of your rope, Your Majesty!
00:24:42Because you're late, Baby, you're new!
00:24:45Keystone!
00:24:50Theيدidididididididididididididididididididididicididididcididididididididididididididae
00:24:52I don't know.
00:25:22Father!
00:25:47Oh, continue.
00:25:52I don't know.
00:26:22Will you leave me alone now?
00:26:52It is I who should be on my knees to you.
00:26:57Whatever I've done, I've done in service of God.
00:27:00God, Parliament, King.
00:27:04That is the natural order of things.
00:27:05The King has assumed his rightful place
00:27:08at the head of government.
00:27:10The blasphemous Republican experiment is over, I'm glad to say.
00:27:15Over, but not forgotten.
00:27:19There are many who have reason to fear Your Majesty's return.
00:27:22Some of them are my friends.
00:27:24Only those who sign my father's death warrant
00:27:26must answer for their treason.
00:27:28You promised an amnesty.
00:27:29Not for his murderous.
00:27:32Justice demands all trials be fair and open.
00:27:35Privilege my father was denied.
00:27:37Even so.
00:27:40The accused will have every protection the law can provide.
00:27:44And when they are found guilty, they will feel its full severity.
00:27:47I've prepared a few names for Your Majesty's Council.
00:27:56All good, loyal men.
00:27:58Nothing but Parliament men and rebels.
00:28:10Concede this, and we're in monks' power for good.
00:28:14Be a king.
00:28:15I will study your list with care.
00:28:16From the moment we have other matters.
00:28:17I will study your list with care.
00:28:18From the moment we have other matters.
00:28:19I will study your list with care.
00:28:20From the moment we have other matters to attend to.
00:28:21This matter must be concluded immediately.
00:28:22A king has many matters which require his attention.
00:28:27A king has many matters which require his attention.
00:28:34I will study your list with care.
00:28:39From the moment we have other matters to attend to.
00:28:44This matter must be concluded immediately.
00:28:46A king has many matters which require his attention.
00:28:50Tell Parliament I will hear its oath of allegiance here.
00:29:15It is only right that the crown should be restored in the place it was hacked from my father's body.
00:29:23Monk might yet rally his troops against you.
00:29:26The country wants peace.
00:29:28Without popular support, there's nothing he can do.
00:29:30As long as he lives, he's a danger.
00:29:32What should I do? I've been poisoned.
00:29:38I owe the man my throne.
00:29:40A king cannot afford to be in anyone's debt.
00:29:43You need ministers who owe their promotion only to you.
00:29:48People you've known all your life.
00:29:51No doubt you have someone in mind.
00:29:55Well...
00:29:58As you ask.
00:30:01Look at the way you're treating my poor cousin.
00:30:03He's just the man you need and you won't even see him.
00:30:06I'll not have Buckingham back.
00:30:07Then you're a fool.
00:30:09You would do well to keep out of the affairs estate.
00:30:21George is worth ten of that tedious old relic hide.
00:30:27It's time to let bygones be bygones.
00:30:37Besides, you know you love him.
00:30:40I love him.
00:31:03My father's mausoleum.
00:31:05It looks beautiful.
00:31:10But expensive.
00:31:12Parliament has voted me the money.
00:31:14It's remarkable what people will do when they feel guilty.
00:31:18They think if they bribe me now, then I'll forget the last twenty years
00:31:21or they'll find out a good memory.
00:31:24Money is the weapon Parliament will use against you.
00:31:28Do as they want and they will keep you in luxury.
00:31:30Defy them and they will cut off every last penny.
00:31:32There are other ways of raising money.
00:31:36I'm king.
00:31:38I'll be ruled by no one.
00:31:43How's your wife?
00:31:45Ugly.
00:31:48Before you ask, the tower was damned uncomfortable.
00:31:51I'm sorry to hear that.
00:32:02I thought you might never see me again.
00:32:22You broke my heart, George.
00:32:23Don't let me down again.
00:32:37You know you have your cousin to thank for your return to favour.
00:32:39Aha!
00:32:42Well, I will do whatever I can to show him my gratitude.
00:32:50He can be sure for now.
00:32:53I'll make sure he behaves himself towards you.
00:32:56What makes you confident?
00:32:58You have such power over him.
00:33:00Oh!
00:33:02Do you doubt it?
00:33:05You must make Charles depend on you again.
00:33:20Between us, or all the help he needs.
00:33:24Tell me.
00:33:27Tell me.
00:33:35Do you love him?
00:33:37Of course.
00:33:40And, um, does he satisfy you?
00:33:45The king is a magnificent lover.
00:33:51As good as me.
00:33:54He's much better than you, darling.
00:34:01You used to say that I was the best you ever heard.
00:34:05Well, I was only 13 then.
00:34:08I didn't have much to compare you with.
00:34:11Cromwell, above all of them, must not escape justice.
00:34:15He must suffer like the others.
00:34:17There's no purpose in executing Oliver Cromwell.
00:34:19He is already dead.
00:34:21I know that.
00:34:22Dig him up.
00:34:23I want your father's murderers to endure the torments of hell.
00:34:26Let everyone see there is no escape for traitors.
00:34:28Oh, my God!
00:34:29Oh!
00:34:34Oh, my God!
00:34:36Oh, my God!
00:34:38Oh, I can't help you.
00:34:40Help me, honey.
00:34:41When did you come?
00:34:42I won't be there.
00:34:44I won't be there.
00:34:45Oh, my God!
00:34:47Adrian Scroope, guilty of the king's murder.
00:34:52Condemned to a traitor's death.
00:34:53traitor's death. John Carew, guilty. Gregory Clement, guilty. Thomas Scott, guilty of the
00:35:05king's murder, condemned to a traitor's death. John Boxted, guilty. John Jones, guilty. Hugh
00:35:17Peters, guilty. Francis Hacker, guilty. Daniel Axtor, guilty. John Cook, guilty. General
00:35:30Lambert, guilty. Sir Harry Vane, guilty. John Oakey, guilty. Thomas Harrison, guilty.
00:35:47The war is over, mother. You gave me your solemn oath that all your father's murderers
00:36:02would die. There has been enough killing. There are still 20 men condemned by the courts.
00:36:07The people demand vengeance. You're weary of death and so am I. I forbid you to pardon them.
00:36:12You've made my decision. Weak. You've always been weak.
00:36:17What do you think of your brother, Jamie?
00:36:32It's very red and wrinkled. All new babies look like this. Even the kings.
00:36:38Damn it, Charles, but you will acknowledge him. He's your child.
00:36:41I've never denied it. Then why will you not say so publicly?
00:36:45We must think of the way things look. They're your husband's feelings to consider.
00:36:50Palmer has no more feelings than a jellyfish. Anyway, who's left me? Who are you?
00:36:57This is my son, James, Duke of Monmouth.
00:36:59Monmouth now, is it? Well, if Lucy Walter's bastard is good enough to be a Duke, then so is my son.
00:37:05These things must be handled with discretion.
00:37:08Oh, discretion be damned. Tell the world he is yours.
00:37:14Or I'll smash his brains out on the floor in front of you.
00:37:17For God's sake!
00:37:18Will you acknowledge him or not?
00:37:20Yes, yes. Now put the child down.
00:37:22Swear it.
00:37:23I am the king.
00:37:24Swear it. Damn you.
00:37:26Shh.
00:37:27The child will be acknowledged and given a title befitting his status.
00:37:30Now will that do?
00:37:31He may get up now.
00:37:42Don't upset me again.
00:37:45Childbirth can be very tiring.
00:37:47How old are you now, Mum?
00:38:13Fourteen, madam.
00:38:14Fourteen.
00:38:26Fourteen.
00:38:26The succession must be secured through Your Majesty's marriage as soon as possible.
00:38:46One candidate stands out.
00:38:49The Portuguese princess, Catherine of Braganza.
00:38:51She is a Catholic.
00:38:53Her faith is not an obstacle.
00:38:55She is devout, but also modest and retiring.
00:38:58Is she pretty?
00:38:59Hmm.
00:38:59She brings a diary of £360,000 and the colony of Tangier.
00:39:05Well, with that kind of money, she could look like Cromwell's arse and still be a good man.
00:39:10A Protestant country should have a Protestant queen.
00:39:14England will never accept the Pope's rule by the back door.
00:39:17Well, I am a Protestant and a true son of the Church of England.
00:39:22Neither my future wife nor anyone else will affect that.
00:39:26My allegiance does not change as easily as those of some of my ministers.
00:39:29I trust my loyalty to Your Majesty is not in doubt.
00:39:39A Catholic marriage would awaken all the old fears of tyranny and persecution.
00:39:46Popular prejudice will not tolerate it.
00:39:48Then popular prejudice be damned.
00:39:50I have seen too much hatred born of religious division.
00:39:55Provided they're loyal, I am determined that Catholics should be treated equally under the law.
00:40:00Parliament will never accept such an idea.
00:40:01It is my minister's job to see that it does.
00:40:03I am sure you are.
00:41:04My God, they've brought me a pat to marry.
00:41:23Your Majesty must be very tired.
00:41:31Is there anything you would like?
00:41:32Your Majesty, do you want something you would like?
00:41:40I would like you to bring me a man.
00:41:46Your Majesty desires tea.
00:41:51Tea?
00:41:52Do we have tea?
00:41:58The drink is not popular in England.
00:42:02For myself, I've always found beer.
00:42:05Very refreshing after a journey.
00:42:07Mm.
00:42:09Would the princess care for a mug of beer?
00:42:11Okay.
00:42:27Good night.
00:42:27I pray to you, Mary, Lord, help me to cover my bed this night.
00:42:32I pray to you, Mary, all the way to help me to protect my husband.
00:42:57I pray to you, Mary, all the way to help me.
00:43:27Perhaps we should consummate the marriage another night.
00:43:47I shall leave you at peace.
00:43:57My husband, if you are patient with me, I will be sure to learn how to help you.
00:44:09You probably want to be left alone.
00:44:11You need to sleep.
00:44:12You're very tired.
00:44:17We'll wait until you're feeling stronger.
00:44:24I'll be right back.
00:44:31You're so tired.
00:44:35Let's go.
00:45:05How often would you sleep with her?
00:45:20How often would you sleep with her?
00:45:29As often as necessary.
00:45:35I should take a lover to entertain me while you're doing your duty.
00:45:43I wouldn't expect anything else.
00:45:48You don't love me at all.
00:45:50My good name's been squandered from a man who treats me with contempt.
00:45:57Your countess of Castlemaine now.
00:46:09I made you rich.
00:46:12What more proof of my affection do you need?
00:46:15Your position will not suffer by my marriage.
00:46:21I have no position.
00:46:25Other than on my back.
00:46:29Whatever I can do for you, I will.
00:46:31Very well.
00:46:37Make me First Lady of the Queen's bedchamber.
00:46:47Out.
00:46:48Get out.
00:46:51Go on, you have what you came for.
00:46:52What are you?
00:46:52Just go.
00:46:53You're my mistress, and everyone knows it.
00:46:57It would be a grotesque humiliation for the Queen to make you her principal attendant.
00:47:01I have sacrificed everything for you.
00:47:05And when I ask you this one tiny thing in return...
00:47:09Well, I see how things must be now.
00:47:34If this is what you really want...
00:47:37Perhaps something can be arranged.
00:47:51The Queen insists that the beds provided for her ladies-in-waiting be changed immediately.
00:47:57Her women belong to a strict religious order and will not sleep on anything previously occupied by a man.
00:48:03You should be grateful.
00:48:04A used mattress is about as close to a man as those witches are ever likely to get.
00:48:09She also complains that it is not the Portuguese way for a man to empty his bladder at every public street corner.
00:48:16If you're taken short, you go for a piss. What's wrong with that?
00:48:18Tell the Queen that if her attendants do not care for our local habits, they're welcome to return to Portugal, and no new beds.
00:48:28The Queen is English now. Her foreign servants are a bad influence.
00:48:31Did you give her my list of ladies of the bedchamber?
00:48:34The Queen has removed Lady Castlemaine's name from it.
00:48:37Then put it back.
00:48:39Henry!
00:48:39Your Majesty.
00:48:40Your Majesty.
00:48:42Henry.
00:48:46Do you know your son is dying?
00:48:48I know it.
00:48:49He has smallpox, and yet you've not been to see him.
00:48:57Henry made his choice when he rejected the one true Catholic Church.
00:49:02I told him then that he'd made himself a stranger to me and to God.
00:49:06Nothing has changed.
00:49:09He's calling out for his mother.
00:49:10Seeing him now, knowing he is at the very gates of hell, would only increase my torment.
00:49:19Your torment?
00:49:20It is a matter of principles.
00:49:23As you have none, I do not expect you to understand.
00:49:30How will I ever win toleration for the Catholic faith in England while the people believe it demands such cruelty?
00:49:36Toleration is weakness and compromise by another name.
00:49:42There is truth, and there are lies.
00:49:45And if you were a truly religious king, you would drag every last heretic in England back to the Mother Church,
00:49:53even if you had to burn the lot of them to do it.
00:49:56England will never be whole until it is once more a Catholic nation.
00:50:02England, do not speak to me of toleration.
00:50:11I will not see my son again in this life.
00:50:16If God is merciful, perhaps we will meet again in the next.
00:50:32I try to speak English.
00:50:43I learn every day.
00:50:47I am very bad, I think.
00:50:49Your brother with God now.
00:51:05Happy.
00:51:08Happy?
00:51:11Do you think so?
00:51:14With all my heart.
00:51:16I am very happy.
00:51:36I pray for you.
00:51:49Catherine.
00:52:04Your English is very, very good.
00:52:19The time is fast approaching when we must teach the Dutch a lesson.
00:52:35All foreign vessels passing an English ship in the Channel should lower their flags in salute.
00:52:41It's traditional.
00:52:42Lack of respect is a poor reason to go to war.
00:52:46This is a country that showed us kindness in our exile.
00:52:48They've grown too strong.
00:52:50We must strike before they strike at us.
00:52:53Any war would be over in weeks.
00:52:55We cannot be confident of that.
00:52:57Cromwell defeated them.
00:52:59Are you saying the king is a lesser warrior than him?
00:53:01Of course not.
00:53:03But let us be honest.
00:53:04This dispute is about trade, not flags.
00:53:07And every nation has the right to defend their commercial interests.
00:53:10The spoils of victory will make the crown rich beyond imagination.
00:53:14With so much wealth of your own, Parliament will have no more hold over you.
00:53:17The king returned from exile to rule wisely with Parliament for the good of the people.
00:53:22Any attempt to destroy that harmony by using a war will smack of tyranny.
00:53:26It is immoral to wage war against a fellow Protestant nation without just gore.
00:53:32Religion meant nothing to the Dutch when they stole our trade routes.
00:53:36You will never have a better opportunity to make the crown wealthy and independent.
00:53:44Instruct the navy to fire on the next Dutch ship that dares show contempt for the gullars.
00:53:49Sir.
00:53:49I suspect the queen still has some reservations over Lady Castlemaine's appointment to her household.
00:54:19Keep your heart away from me.
00:54:26She hates me.
00:54:27You hate me.
00:54:28You love to kill her.
00:54:29No one hates you.
00:54:31You liar!
00:54:34I've made my decision, and you must abide by it.
00:54:39Never!
00:54:40I go home.
00:54:43This is your home.
00:54:45Then you find new wife.
00:54:47Oh.
00:54:47Oh.
00:54:50No.
00:54:54God help me.
00:54:56Never.
00:54:58No.
00:54:59I'm tired.
00:55:02I'm poor.
00:55:11Now.
00:55:15Oh.
00:55:16the rumors are everywhere because you spread them i was tricked into marriage to give legitimacy to
00:55:37another man's bastard we all know the truth here james your wife has known only one man you
00:55:46i was drunk when i bedded her and drunk when she got me to the altar and now you're sober you want
00:55:55your freedom i want a divorce i will not invite parliament to meddle in the affairs of the royal
00:56:03family why not if it serves our purpose the child hides daughter carries may wear the crown one day
00:56:10if parliament dissolves your marriage and declares your offspring illegitimate what is to stop them
00:56:16doing the same another time when it does not suit us so well do you think i'm stupid enough to hand
00:56:22them a precedent they can use against me you've made your bets james i suggest you lie in it
00:56:28preferably with your wife
00:56:30you're paying attention to part one day and you haven't told him heatz Peter is tells the dream about what is
00:56:46going on the other day by week hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
00:56:52I love you, I love you.
00:57:22Oh, my God.
00:57:52You are losing your touch, my lady.
00:58:15You drove him into her arms.
00:58:17Virginity has some charm to the jaded palate,
00:58:20but inexperienced soon, Pauls.
00:58:23At least now you shall have time for more constant lovers.
00:58:27Shall I tend on you later?
00:58:29Not tonight. I have company.
00:58:32And I'm breaking it out.
00:58:33So, of course, soon you'll realize
00:58:35that you wish to be this one.
00:58:37Put together.
00:58:37Sit down.
00:59:00Let me look at you.
00:59:15You're not shy, are you?
00:59:17After all, I'm sure you've been in a lady's private apartment before.
00:59:25I've been longing to talk to you.
00:59:40It's important that we know each other well.
00:59:44Don't you agree?
00:59:45Yes.
00:59:47You are the king's son.
00:59:51Okay.
00:59:52And I am his most valued friend.
00:59:56It would be more natural
00:59:58on a relationship of warmth
01:00:01and trust between us.
01:00:02Oh, my darling.
01:00:31And you should have told me
01:00:35to expect you.
01:00:40I need you to attend to me soon.
01:00:42Mm-hmm.
01:00:43I need you to attend to me soon.
01:00:52I need you to attend to me soon.
01:00:54I need you to attend to me soon.
01:00:56I need you to attend to me soon.
01:01:05I need you to attend to me soon.
01:01:09I need you to attend to me soon.
01:01:18I need you to attend to me soon.
01:01:20I need you to attend to me soon.
01:01:29I need you to attend to me soon.
01:01:33I need you to attend to me soon.
01:01:43I need you to attend to me soon.
