00:00You have said that this venture was none of your seeking, that you were persuaded into it by Argyle, Grey
00:05and the rest.
00:07All this we know and it counts for nothing. You are guilty as hell.
00:11But these are small men. There are others, Greta, who aided you or promised aid if your rebellion should succeed.
00:19Who were those men? Who were they?
00:23Tell me the names of my enemies.
00:25Sir, if I might speak to you privately.
00:30Speak now, not at all.
00:32Was the Prince of Orange one of them? Did he know your plans?
00:36If he did, it'd veil me nothing.
00:39Yet he did not hinder you, though he might have done.
00:42What others here in this kingdom?
00:45Shrewsbury, Halifax, Churchill?
00:49If it were not for Churchill, I should still have an army.
00:56You owe him much.
01:01But there were some who made promises.
01:03Who?
01:05That man for one who stands beside you.
01:09Sunderland.
01:10I warned you, sir, did I not?
01:12He swore he'd be my chief minister.
01:14Your Majesty, this condemned traitor sought an audience because of some great conspiracies he would discover.
01:23Do you desire to hear him further?
01:24No.
01:25No.
01:26No, I do not.
01:28One thing remains, however.
01:31You writ a letter to the Queen, praying her to beg a pardon for you.
01:36I asked her to be here so as to give you her own answer.
01:45Your Grace, I am to tell you of my abhorrence of your conduct.
01:51Not only in this recent treason, but in the past, when you conspired to destroy the late King, your father,
02:00and my beloved husband.
02:09Am I to believe that if your venture had succeeded, we should have been spared, either he or I?
02:19I forgive you your crime, as a good Christian must.
02:25But I cannot beg for your life.
02:31Only God can comfort you.
02:33So I urge you, put the care of your soul in his merciful hands.
02:48Your Majesty.
02:50Madam, I pray you.
02:53I pray forgiveness.
02:56And your pardon.
03:04Save my life, sir.
03:06That is all, my life only.
03:09I know it be forfeited by my crimes.
03:11I, and I confess them all, treason and rebellion.
03:14But, sir, I was cheated and cursed into it.
03:20Yet I am guilty.
03:24I have no desire to live for living's sake.
03:27All that is gone from me, but to live for your sake.
03:30To serve you humbly and faithfully.
03:32That I can do and will do.
03:38I am not prepared to die.
03:42Give me my life.
03:46Give me back my life.
