people come to bid Godspeed to John
Hawkins and his company.

Aye, that be so.

Which of them is the Queen's ship?

Why, the foremost over there on the
left. The Jesus, all they tell me.

Aye, goodly ship. Seven and a ton or
more, I reckon. Aye.

John Hawkins is a lucky fellow to go
sailing off in the Queen's ship for the

Queen's money. I'd trust it to Frankie
Drake if it was my money.

Either one will bring you back a
fortune.

Oh, my Lord. Oh, mercy. Oh, as if it
made my young mistress sick. Hello,

Moon. Oh, be careful, dearie. You'll
fall into the sea.

It's all right, Mother Moon. Oh, Lord, a
mercy. What a fright you gave me.

Mama say, if they was to see you here
like this. I couldn't keep away. I had

see the ship sail.

Why, you'd be more of a baby now than
you were in the days when I nursed you.

is time you grew up.

If only I could grow up to be a sailor.

Better grow up to marry one like I did.

You must be proud of Tom.

That's Drake's drum, that is.

Tom says the days are coming when it
will be heard all over the world.

Which is Drake? Where is he?

I don't know what he was doing there.

simple Devon folk think they're going to
arrest the trade of the world from

Spain. King Philip will lift his
embargo, I suppose, when these little

cockleshells appear.

Are you not tempted, sir, to link your
fortune with such valiant enterprise?

Well, I'd rather serve my country with
valour tempered by discretion, Sir

George. Besides, my brother has shortly
to fulfill a mission in the Netherlands.

My daughter is still at an age where
she's more suitably occupied with books

than with ships.

Elizabeth,

pray, what is the meaning of this?

I just wanted to see the ships, Mother.

Dress ruined, hair all over the place.

What sort of behaviour is this in one
who is going next year to London?

To be a lady -in -waiting at the court
of Her Grace the Queen.

Good morning to you all.

Good morning, Mrs. Elizabeth.

Dear Lady Lennox.

Oh, what a cloudy face.

What have I done wrong now?

You're very late.

By your leave, I was very early.

At dawn I was in the gardens and into a
boat and rode myself to Datcheton back.

My child, you must leave boats and such
manly pastimes to the men.

Learn to love needlework and gossip like
the other young ladies.

Don Pedro, this is John Doughty, our
friend.

And a faithful son of the Holy Church.

Master Doughty, this is John Pedro
Zubiar, confidential emissary to His

Catholic Majesty, King Philip of Spain.

I am newly come from Antwerp.

Everything is settled. As soon as King
Philip's treasure ships arrive there...

The Duke of Alba will be ready to strike
with his Dutch mercenaries.

God will help us to restore England to
the faith and her rightful queen.

Gentlemen, by your leave, stand by.

The Lord's early.

I trust the queen is in favourable mood?

We are highly flattered to be received
by a queen who is as wise as she is

beautiful. She cannot help but look upon
such an eminent diplomat with favour.

The moment seems a little unfavorable.

Another time, perhaps.

You are right, my friend.

We will not tempt the Queen's anger.

Upon my soul, you talk like a pack of
old women.

Over a man's counsel.

Your Grace, Spain follows one purse, and
England is rent this way and that.

We do but remind Your Grace that Don
Pedro is ambassador of Spain.

What is your will, gentlemen?

How long must I endure these insults?

Spain would cut my throat.

would set the French woman on my throne.

They send this ounce of licorice.

This thing does spy on me.

I'll show them that England's not afraid
to speak her mind.

Where is he?

Have you no tongues?

Where is he?

Your Grace. Ah.

Don Bernardino has just ridden hence.

Ridden hence?

I'll have him by the neck.

I'll hang him by the heels.

I wish him the right land then. Your
grace is justified, and yet...

I thank you, Lord Burleigh.

And yet?

Spain is mighty and England weak.

Spain is wealthy and England poor.

Spain's fleet is invincible, and England
has none.

That's a lie.

My sailors are all over the world.

Ask John Hawkins whether England has a
fleet.

Alas, madam, I fear the only answer John
Hawkins could give you would grieve

you. Word has just come through that his
expedition to San Juan...

It's ended in disaster.

And my own ship, the Jesus of Lubeck?

Captured.

Captured?

Who told you?

My brother had the news from a
countryman of ours, a certain Francis

he has brought to the palace.

My men, my ships, my money!

Thomas Doughty!

Thomas Doughty!

Your Grace.

Get up. Get up, Thomas.

Who is Francis Drake?

I know. Hold your tongue, Wenchu. Who
are you?

Thomas. Francis Drake is John Hawkins'
cousin. He went with him to the West

Indies. He's come here hoping to see
Your Grace to inform you. Then why was

not brought to me at once? The man is
nothing, madam. A common sailor. Ah.

Bring the sailor to me.

Waiting.

What am I to say to her?

Master Drake.

Good news, Master Drake. The Queen
wishes to see you.

Good news, eh?

God knows I have nothing but ill news
for her.

May he grant me leave to change it.
You've seen him, Elizabeth.

What's he really like? Is he just a
common sailor?

Real sailors are rare, not common.

Watch my Lord barely's face while the
Queen hub -nubs with him.

Now, Master Drake, stand up and speak
out.

What brings you here to me?

Rage, ma 'am.

And hunger for bloody vengeance.

Oh.

Here's plain speech.

Vengeance? Upon whom?

On a parcel of damn rogues. As
treasonable as any that have crawled on

earth. This is insufferable.

Aye, to those who do not love fresh air.

Well, what happened at San Juan?

We had done well, for our goods were all
sold to advantage.

And we lay peaceably in harbor, cleaning
our ships.

When up comes the Spanish viceroy, Don
Enriquez, in a great galleass with

other ships, Enriquez gave us his solemn
word that we should continue

unmolested. But the very next day, as I
and my men were on shore for gathering

all friendly and brotherly with the
Spaniards, there comes a sudden trumpet,

there the devils were at our throats,
pouring into our ships to burn, kill,

sink. Then was there such a fight as
never man saw before.

But you, on shore, how did you escape?

Aye.

I swarmed along a horse at the Judith
while the Spaniards shot at me and

me.

And the Judith?

Well, we cut her out and stood by.

Fought till she was a silk.

And if it had not been for the guns of
the fort, we'd have sunk every mother's

son of them.

You can tell he's from Devon.

And so you brought the Judith back safe
and sound? Aye, ma 'am.

But the treasure was all on your ship,
and that's what Spaniards got.

Not a groat.

Not a penny for all our labor.

My ship's sunk.

My men's slain treacherously.

My money is stolen.

It's insupportable. That's what I say,
ma 'am.

Senor, I guess it's my oath to return to
wipe out the affront. Master Drake.

Leave him alone, Burleigh. I need his
advice.

Ma 'am, you can win your treasure back
at once.

What? How?

That's what I've come here to tell you,
ma 'am.

Philip was raised alone in Genoa to pay
for troops from the Netherlands to

strike at your throne.

The ships carrying the bullion to pay
for the loan have been driven into

Plymouth Harbor by French privateers,
and they cannot get out.

You mean... Seize those ships for their
treasure, and you strike such a blow at

Spain as will cripple her for years.

Francis Drake, that's magnificent. Good
God, ma 'am, this is right piracy.

Nonsense. The Genoese shall lend the
money to Elizabeth instead of to Philip.

But he'll declare war. How?

If he has no money?

Have this done at once, and secretly.

It is my will.

What else is there in that bold brain of
yours, pirate?

I'll show him, ma 'am.

Shall a fellow like this be allowed to
bring England to disaster?

If the Queen listens to him, war must
follow.

The wealth of Spain is drawn from the
shores of the South Atlantic, to which

holds the road alone.

Here is nombre de Dios.

Where the treasure is brought to be
shipped home.

Rich as unimaginable.

Seize Nombra de Dios.

And the wealth of Spain becomes the
wealth of England.

Silence, my lord.

I fear Philip is too strong.

Thank God.

My lord, do you thank God for your
enemy's strength?

Philip has swallowed the Netherlands.

Soon he may swallow France.

How long do you think England will hold
if she be as weak as you thank God for?

No, my lord.

Let us thank him for stout oaks to build
ships with and stout hearts to man

them. Then when the seas are open and
our shores are free, we can all give

thanks together.

By the splendor of God, this is a man.

Well, go your own way.

And keep your neck out of the noose.

Are you coming, Elizabeth?

Presently, Master Doughty.

You are from Devon, mistress?

From Plymouth.

I'm Elizabeth Sydenham.

What shall I bring you from Nombre de
Dios?

Elizabeth Sydenham?

Nothing.

Only come back alive.

I'll do that.

But what shall I get you?

A chain of pearls?

Yes, if you bring it yourself.

Nombre de Dios.

Cold mine of the world.

In the hands of the Spaniards.

Well, I will care still news and
prosperous for getting no doubt my

return. We'll remind him tonight, sir.

And leave him less prosperous, eh?

John Oxenham. Aye, aye, sir.

Take your men round by the church.

While I lead the rest of the party
straight up from the harbour. Aye, sir.

Come on.

Aye, sir. Are your boats ready?

Aye, aye, sir. And over with you, boys.

Nothing forgotten?

My drum? Yes, sir. My trumpet? Yes, sir.
And my fireworks.

My fiery atoms. All here, sir. Good,
that's what we want.

Plenty of noise and blaze to scare them
so that they see double and reckon 50

men were 25 or 70.

Now, quietly, my lads.

You wait.

Just returned from Spain.

Can anyone as adorably young as Donna
Vera be an old friend?

Will you be pleased to dance?

Not only pleased, but honored.

Dance with one whose name echoes
throughout the length of time, my love.

How long is it since I last knew this
happiness?

Since your triumph at San Juan de Lua.
Oh, the English dragon, who proved to be

no more than a harmless little sea
lizard, and scurried off very much

when I put a spark to his tame.

That was no sea lizard, but El Droque
himself.

Don't imagine your modesty deceives me.

One moment. Forgive me.

Please, Master Henriques.

In the name of Elizabeth, Queen of
England.

You are in my debt, sir, are you not?

To the extent of two ships and many
lives taken by treachery at San Juan de

How will you pay?

With your own life?

Or with what I confess I would value
more highly?

Spanish jewels and gold.

Signor Drache.

Spanish jewels and gold are at your
disposal.

Come with me and you shall have more of
Spain's wealth than your ships can

carry.

John Oxenham and Robert Pike.

Keep guard at the head of the stairs.

The first sign of danger, give the
alarm.

Aye, sir.

Look here. I was bleeding.

Something's right up here. Quick.

Why are you down there? Look out. The
guards are coming back.

Come on, quick.

Every jack, one of you. Now, leave the
devil, Jack. Go. We've got to get the

captain back to the ship.

I'm going to have to make the boats
ready.

I mean, Lord, I pray pardon, I
thought... You thought, no doubt, there

one man in nombre de Dios staunch enough
to set his life between El Draque and

Spain's treasure.

I thank you, gentlemen, for your loyal
protection.

How nobly you stood by me while the
pirates stormed the palace.

Dogs and traitors!

Go to your English dragon and take with
you Enrique's sword before it slays the

one of you!

Nothing.

Not one thing out of all that treasure.

It was too heavy, master, and we had
your life to think of.

A worthy life indeed.

Must I sail a second time for England
with naught but a tale of ill fortune

the queen?

Ahoy! Keep it all right!

Let me believe.

What news, sir?

None worth telling.

There's a fellow here, Captain.

Come aboard, but an hour since.

One of the maroons set free from the
Spaniards. He says he has something to

you. What is it? Over here.

Why, it's my old friend Pedro.

What is it you want to tell me, Pedro?

You come with me, senor.

Only Englishmen come with me. I show
them beautiful things and make them

Where are these beautiful things?

Over the land, senor.

I have news. In six days' time, men come
with mules from the southern sea,

bringing gold to Nombra de Dios.

Bad Spanish men.

You catch them, senor, you kill them and
take their gold.

I and my people, we will help you.

You hear that?

In six days.

How far is this place from here?

For five days, senor. You will come?

I'll start tomorrow.

outside remember so that we may know
each other in the darkness

What fish have we caught in our net?

Goldfish, eh? Aye, aye, sir.

Look, master, in here.

And here, master. Silver.

Diamond.

And Tom, what has he landed?

Pearl.

Elizabeth's pearl.

Aye, captain, the queen will be pleased
with us this time.

The queen will have our money.

England, her fleet.

And Elizabeth...

What did I tell you, my dear?

We're much before our time. Never mind.
We can wait outside.

Elizabeth will have many old friends to
greet after her long absence in London,

won't you, my dear?

Yes, thank you, Mother.

Ridiculous hour to arrive.

Parson Fletcher and Captain Hawkins.

Good day to you. Good day to you both.

Well, Captain Hawkins, any news of your
cousin Drake?

Not yet, sir. Alas, I fear there never
will be.

So long an absence can but mean
disaster.

Why do you say that? It is common rumor,
my dear, that Captain Drake's ship has

gone down.

With all hands.

I have a mind to be improved by Parson
Fletcher.

I hear he discourses very wisely.

But I hear Elizabeth Siddon sings very
sweetly.

Good luck to you, brother.

Good day, Mr. Siddon.

Won't you take this rose to church with
you?

Its fragrance will overcome the stench
of tar and fish.

I thank you for your kind thought,
Master Doughty. But I love the smell of

and fish.

It's the smell of the sea.

You love the sea too well for my liking.

I'm sorry, but your misliking cannot
change my love.

George! Yes, but... One moment.

George, you must speak to Elizabeth.

She's just been very rude to Master
Doughty.

Yes, my dear.

Where is she?

Elizabeth.

Enough of this, my girl.

I wish you to favor Master Darcy's suit.

There's an end of the matter.

And I wish to choose my own husband.

These modern ideas.

Ridiculous. Come, my dear.

Let's go.

Why, dearie, whatever's the matter?

Oh, Mother Moon, I'm so unhappy.

They're telling me Drake's dead.

Drake dead?

Oh, next come never time.

Bait my man Tom with him?

Do you think he'd let Drake drown?

Now, do you bide patiently, pet, for
when you least expect it, you're a good

roll of thunder.

That'll be Drake's drum, and there'll be
Drake himself with Tom beside him, all

dressed up in gold and diamonds.

Let him be dressed in barnacles, there
he come.

You give me new heart.

Let's go in and pray God to bring him
back safely.

Drake, sure enough.

Run quickly, children, and fix the boat
down to the lake. There is a lesson to

be learned from the tragedy that it was
surely overtaken our comrades at sea.

They that go down to the sea in ships
and have their business in great waters,

alas, theirs is a sad lot.

But my dear brethren, take heart and
heed well their calling.

Find an example.

An example for every one of us. From the
highest, down to the lowest.

From the highest, down to the lowest,
and east among you.

Pastor Fletcher, will you be a part of
this unseemly madness?

Your place on the Lord's Day is in
church.

My place is with my father every day,
Sir George.

is but a sample of what our journeyings
have won.

It was to be used against England.

Now it is in England.

And English ships shall be built with
it, God willing.

Thomas Doughty, my good friend.

Master Doughty.

Thomas, it was you that brought me to
the Queen.

You have made me.

And by the Lord, you shall share in my
good fortune. Welcome home, Francis.

I wish you joy.

Thank you.

You've waited.

Of course I've waited.

And I've kept my promise.

Is this man still your friend?

If he's your enemy, he cannot be my
friend.

Then ride with me to London.

I must bear this news at once to
Burleigh.

Unless we hurry, our work in bringing
about the Spanish Treaty will be ruined.

Mother, Father, here is Master Drake,
who I met at the Queen's Court.

I am happy to meet Mr. Sydenham's
parents.

We must wish you good day, sir.

Elizabeth, it is time to go home.

Come, George.

Welcome back, Master Drake.

I feared you'd surely been drowned.

Well, don't look so disappointed,
Parson.

Shall we not all go into church and give
thanks for our safe return?

Let us put our heads together, my
friends.

Which shall it be?

We must be in no hurry to decide on so
considerable an occasion.

Surely it was Ruby's, the Ruby Damask,
madam.

Give that to me, Burleigh.

You like the effect?

Charming, Your Grace.

Ah.

How about this?

Delightful, madam.

Delightful. Why must you always agree
with me, Burleigh? One of these days

you'll nod your head off.

If Philip's goodwill matches his gift,
we are indeed at peace with Spain.

You're wrong, Lennox. The rubies call
for a contrast.

I shall wear my black velvet.

Ladies?

An exquisite choice, madam.

And I dare swear our Lady Gloriana will
still outshine the glory of her jewels.

Go then. And you, my Lord Burleigh,
bring the spaniards to my audience

I shall be ready upon the instant to
receive them.

Where is my Lord Burleigh? I have news
for him. This is a joyful day for

England, my Lord.

I'm signing the treaty. We shall declare
a public holiday.

My Lord Burleigh, I bring you a warning.

Drake has landed at Plymouth amidst
public rejoicings.

England rejoices very readily, it seems.

Must King Philip share her merrymaking
with his enemy, the pirate? North, I

beseech you.

Not a word of this until the treaty is
sealed.

Come. The Queen awaits.

Do not let the Queen see you until this
audience is over.

Gentlemen, please hurry.

The Queen waits impatiently. She never
waits otherwise.

Hurry! What's the secretary?

God's patience will go without them.

Ah, you are fortunate, gentlemen.

Had you not come now, you might have
stayed away forever.

Gentlemen,

by your leave, stand by.

You may tell our dear brother Philip
that we take a rare pleasure in his

Alas, madam, that his majesty cannot
have the rarer pleasure of seeing his

adorned by such a wearer.

Master Secretary will now place before
us the purposes and provisions of this

treaty. In the name of almighty God,
best and greatest, be it known to all

and singular to whom these presents may
come, that his catholic and most august

majesty, Don Philip, the second of that
name in Castile and Leon, by the grace

of God, King of Spain, and Elizabeth, by
the grace of God, Queen of England,

France and Ireland, defender of the
faith.

Before the eyes of all Christian men, do
swear true friendship and amity to one

another for themselves and for their
people.

Well, Thomas, what's troubling you?

Aren't you still willing to help me?

Brother, I do not love the Spaniards.

And Drake thinks me his friend.

Oh, I still think so, then.

Friendship has its uses, even as England
can use the friendliness of Spain.

Given at our castle of Windsor the 11th
day of August, 1573, the 15th year

of our reign.

Let this be sent to our dear brother
Philip as an emblem of our affection,

goodwill... And friendship. No gift
could be more acceptable to His Majesty.

Now let us set aside these trappings of
our royal state.

Your Grace.

Your Grace, I trust this is not an ill
-timed opportunity to impart certain

information?

Information?

Speak up, my lord.

What is it you want to tell me?

A most regrettable incident has
occurred.

News has been brought to us that one of
your subjects has ravished and laid

waste the town of Nombre de Dios and
other possessions of King Philip in a

piratical fashion.

Nombre de Dios?

King Philip naturally protests against
this outrage and begs that the

delinquent, who is now in England, shall
be punished.

In England?

Is he... Who is this man?

His name is Francis Drake, Your Grace.

Francis Drake.

Inform our brother Philip that this
important request shall receive our full

consideration. And I am more than sure
that he will be appeased by our

Shut those doors!

Why were they not informed of Drake's
arrival?

Your Grace, I... I fear that... That is
the only thing my minister seemed to do

well. Your Grace, my brother and I have
only just arrived from Plymouth with the

news. Oh, so you have not heard
yourselves?

No, Your Grace. Then why in heaven's
name couldn't you say so?

Be off, the lot of you! I want to speak
alone with John Dougal.

If she receives drink now, it will be
faint. It would mean war within a month.

This put me in a pretty quandary.

And will they know it?

How to please Philip and yet reward my
pirate.

John Doughty, you are betrothed to
Elizabeth Sydenham, are you not?

I have her father's consent, madam, but
not the lady's own as yet.

I see.

Well, women love to be wooed.

This one is young and headstrong, but
she's worth the winning.

You shall marry her.

My word on it.

And now you shall do something for me.
Your Grace.

Speak of this to no one.

Go to Sir George Sydenham and tell him
that I intend to pay him a visit and

I wish to meet at his house.

Francis Drake.

I am sensible of the honour you have
done me by your presence, Master Drake.

Sir, sir.

As justice of the peace, I am but a
local celebrity.

Whilst you, the greatest seaman of our
day, have become a national figure.

Yes.

I shall tell the Queen that you're
indisposed.

Your father orders you to stay in your
room till this upstart leaves the house.

Welcome, Your Grace.

Your Grace is very welcome. No
formality, my friends, I beg. We are

today. Let us be simple, rustic.

The Grace believes her costume to be
rustic.

Master Grace.

Come, let us walk a path.

How is my pirate? Oh, ma 'am.

Upon my soul, you have so many enemies,
I begin to think you must be a great

man.

Always I hear your name.

Drake has sunk ten Spanish ships.

Drake has captured Londra de Dios.

Drake has seized King Philip's mule
trains.

Drake, Drake, Drake.

And now the King of Spain desires me to
punish you.

I have but regained our losses, Your
Grace.

If our wealth be allowed to continue,
Spain will rule the world.

Punish me by all means if I have
offended you, ma 'am, but not to please

king of Spain.

It would be folly to displease him. He
has promised us peace.

Nay, the peace of the gods will swallow
the lamb.

Do not be deceived, your grace.

Treaties, pacts, trade agreements, all
these mean but one thing to King Philip.

Time.

Time to build ships for his great new
fleet, the invincible Armada.

Matters like these must be spoken of
behind a hedge, pirate.

Behind a hedge, ma 'am?

Aye, tall enough to hide us from Lord
Burleigh.

Come, you shall help me plant it.

My lord treasurer, here is a matter that
concerns you.

There is great profit to be had by the
purchase of fruits and spices from

Alexandria, whither Master Drake will
shortly sail on a trading errand.

Would not the nation buy a share in such
a venture?

The nation can take no share in any
unsafe enterprise, your grace.

Alas, then I fear she will never gain
much interest.

Well, Master Drake, you must be content
with the sum from mine own private

coffers. I'll sail within the week, ma
'am. And if you'll do me the honour of

letting me serve under you, Master
Drake, I'll go with you.

You are welcome for your own sake,
Master Doughty, as well as for my

your brothers.

But how is this, John Doughty?

Why are you not busy with your wooing?

Where is she?

Where is your daughter, sir?

She is not... My wife considers...
Elizabeth is indisposed, Your Grace.

confined to her room.

Mother Moon!

Mother Moon!

Let me out of here, for pity's sake!

You are going to serve under Drake.

Come with me, brother.

We must think of England's safety.

Drake cannot stir without giving Spain
new cause for anger.

But he loves you, Thomas.

You would be with him hourly, and you
could use friendly means to turn him

his purpose.

Never. It touches not only my honor, but
my pride.

When was it known that an English
soldier served under a mere sailor?

If you're a better man, prove it.

Rest the command from Drake, who in
praise and gratitude from England.

You think I could do that? I'm sure of
it. Every soldier in the fleet will be

with you.

I'll go.

Parson Fletcher will sail with me as my
chaplain, ma 'am. I'm resolved to bring

joy to the heathen, Your Grace.

Heaven help the heathen.

Will you take an unschooled soldier to
sea, Francis?

Aye, when the soldier is my friend, who
will help me shape the course of my true

purposes. Share them with this friend
and with no other then, Master Parrot.

Lord Burleigh must be kept in ignorance
of your real errands. He shall be, ma

'am. Have I not royal sanction for my
voyage?

Officially, no.

But we do account that he who strikes at
Drake strikes at Elizabeth.

Your Grace.

Elizabeth!

I heard you were ill, child.

I felt a little better, madam, and could
not stay above in my room while your

grace was below.

I rejoice to see you, Elizabeth.

And here is someone else who will
rejoice also.

John Doughty.

Here is Elizabeth.

In a few days' time, your friend will be
gone.

He is sailing under Master Drake on his
next voyage.

Sailing again?

So soon?

So soon.

Therefore, set yourself to please him.

Will you do us the honour, Your Grace,
of our taking of some refreshment? And

sampling our Devonshire cider. Indeed,
that is something I have ever been

curious to try.

I cannot eat today,

John. Please go without me. But the
Queen will be displeased, Elizabeth.

Then I must incur her displeasure. It
seems I have to love by royal command.

But eat when I'm ill, I will not.

Oh, my dearest, you're no sooner here
than you're gone again.

I've spent my whole life waiting.

You don't know what that means.

Have I not waited this long?

Yours is not waiting. You are hammering
your enemies and the time flies.

But I couldn't spin.

I wish I could spin a thread that would
bind you to me forever.

You've done that already?

No, no, Francis. You forget the Queen's
orders.

If John Doughty comes back without you,
I shall be forced to marry him.

And by heaven he shall marry my widow.

What do you mean?

I mean that we will marry before I see
you.

You must be mad.

My parents have never consented. Then do
not give them the chance to refuse.

Parson Fletcher will marry us secretly.

Even the Queen herself can't force you
to marry two husbands.

Yes, yes, you are mad.

This is the maddest idea I've ever heard
of. All great ideas are mad ones.

Dear Mother Moon, let thee my lamb.

Now don't ye tarry long over the
parting. You must be back in bed afore

soul roses.

I give thee Godspeed, Maester.

Thank you, Mother.

Godspeed, Master.

Farewell, my wife.

The sad word is saying his wife will
soon grow used to it.

Forgive me, Beth.

No call but one can draw me from you
now. I know.

The call of the sea.

Not even that. The call of England.

Your love has inspired me with a great
book.

My love will never fail you.

What is your purpose?

Make England mistress of the sea.

Draw an English circle round the world.

Not a cloud, not a breath, after these
weeks of tempests.

Be calm.

It seems there's a curse on this voyage.

Some say there'll be one among us in
league with the evil one.

You really believe that?

Evil one or no.

Thomas Doughty is bewitched great with
fine foods and fine words.

Once we all worked together as brothers
and men.

Now men work for gentlemen.

What should I do without a friend to
make me merry?

Come, let me pledge you for your gift of
laughter.

Aye, we have need of good cheer in this
windless weather.

Aye, we do.

That ring is curiously wrought.

I don't know if you remember having seen
it before.

Where did you come by?

Oh, it's nothing.

A trifle given me as a token of esteem.

A love token, perhaps.

Come, tell us. Who is the lovely giver?

Aye, ask him, sir, how he came by it.

It bears the arms of my lord Burleigh.

Does Burleigh give you tokens of esteem?

you leave, Captain Doughty. There'll be
trouble aboard the Mary.

The men are arrested. Will you come,
sir? Why, what's amiss? It's all right,

Francis. I can handle it. Why, sir?

Go and see for yourself, master.

The crew of the Mary be restive, because
Thomas Doughty has taught them to be

traitors.

Will you gentlemen stand by and hear me
called traitor by a common seaman?

We'll not stand by and see a man suffer
for telling the truth.

Gentlemen, Tom Boone, be careful.

If what you say be slander, you shall
rue it. If, if, dares Drake to doubt me.

Is not the lightest word from my mouth
to be believed sooner than the oath of

upstart? Enough!

Go each of you to your ship.

Captain Doughty, give me your keys.

You and your brother shall be held here
pending an inquiry.

It is in your interest that one shall be
held forthwith.

Come you with me to America.

Aye, Master.

Would you not leave us served out in the
drake?

What say ye, if when the wind gets up
again, we fail without it to find

of our own?

Ha!

Here's our admiral coming aboard to
inspect the ship.

Where are the rest of the men?

Do not hear my drum?

So this is how Captain Doughty's men
learn to greet their admiral.

Come out of it.

Now lead me to your captain's cabin.

Mr. Master, there would be horror.

My masters, I can see by your faces you
know what is to all, but I am not here

to please you or myself, but to do
justice.

Now,

whosoever raises

his hand against me commits murder on a
weaponless man and will hang

accordingly.

The court is opened.

Amos Doughty, ever since my first
acquaintance with you, I have used you

other self and as my inmost friend.

Yet you have still sought to discredit
me, thwarting my will to the great peril

of this voyage.

Therefore have I brought you to trial.

My Lord Admiral, you have no power or
commission. He's right. How's your

commission? Aye, where is it? Get up.

Master Doughty can himself witness to my
commission.

For he stood beside me in Sir George
Sydenham's garden and heard the Queen

We do account that he who strikes at
Drake strikes at Elizabeth.

Do I speak truth, Master Doughty?

I heard the Queen say that.

Then what better commission can a man
have?

With a heavy heart I do indict you,
Thomas Doughty.

You have strewn to corrupt my friends.

But there is graver matter even than
this.

High treason.

Treason?

How? My masters, the queen gave me
special

commandment that of all men, Lord
Burleigh should be kept in ignorance of

true errand by reason of his fear of
Spain.

I have here papers showing that Master
Doughty has given Lord Burleigh a full

plot of our voyage.

Did he not send you with us to hinder
our enterprise and to report our deeds?

Yes, then.

For he feared your rashness.

Out of his own mouth he has confessed
his treachery.

Thomas Doughty, you are my friend.

I cannot be your judge.

It is for you to say whether he be
innocent or guilty.

If guilty, the punishment...

is death.

Lead the accused away.

I will await your finding and abide.

think Thomas Doughty worthy of death,
hold up their right hands.

If he takes your life, and by heaven, he
shall pay for it with his own.

Leave us, if you please.

God knows I desire nothing better than
to save your life, Thomas, if I can do

with safety to this voyage.

Wherefore, I will give you this choice.

Will you abide by your comrade's
verdict, or will you be conveyed to

be tried before the lords of the royal
council?

No, I will not be sent to England.

The shame of my return will be worse
than this.

I beseech you only to grant me the death
of a gentleman.

I have called the men together as you
bid me.

Is it your will that I preach a sermon
to them?

Nay, parson, I thank thee.

The men shall hear a sermon, but I will
preach it myself.

I have sent for you, masters, because of
late, as you well know, there has been

a want of fellowship among us.

That must be changed.

Now, my masters, will your mutinies and
discord cease?

Here be we, a little band of Englishmen
bent upon a great undertaking, and we

fling away our glory for jealousies and
our country's honor for personal hate.

If we be divided thus, how can we hope
for common triumph?

Shall we not all be of one heart from
this day forward?

ain't for nothing.

And is that the adverse ship that sailed
round the world?

Aye, that's the golden hind.

Thank you very much.

Those were not the bricks you wore when
we rounded the Cape, right? I was worn.

There's so little of them left, Admiral,
I could not shame the Lady Queen by

wearing them.

My lord, I wish to speak with you.

Not here.

Let us go apart.

Well? I've had no word from you touching
the prosecution of Francis Drake for

the murder of my brother, about which I
wrote to you many weeks since.

The time is not yet favorable. It goes
ever less favorable.

Drake must be brought to trial.

Speak plainly, my friend.

It is not in your interest, nor in mine,
that this matter be brought to light. I

care not in whose interest it be.

My brother's blood cries to me for
vengeance.

I shall take no action. Then I shall
proceed without you.

Think you that will avail anything, my
friend?

Think you I have so little power in
England?

The trial will surely go in your
disfavor.

Very well.

I shall take the law into my own hands.

A man in so small a ship shall do so
great a work.

Not one man, only man.

But all these men.

Aye, with a man to lead them.

What ragged and forlorn images are
these?

Might you not address the men, sir,
against Her Grace's coming?

Men are dressed as best befits Her
Grace's notice.

So they stood in rags, broken and weary,
when there were yet 20 ,000 miles of

untraveled sea between us and the homes
we loved.

My poor Mariner.

My heart aches for you.

But we'll be ready to start again, Your
Grace, so soon as you give the word.

God save the Queen!

Hooray!

Hooray!

Hooray!

Now, Tom.

Did that drum of yours roll in the
southern sea?

There is no sea that it has not sundered
in man.

It shall thunder again in England's
knee.

Her grace is served.

Come and sit here with me.

France and Spain shall be the honored
guests of England's great admiral, Don

Bernardino.

The invitation does pay no honor, madam.
She has been despoiled to furnish the

pirate's table.

Delicious.

What is it you object to, Don
Bernardino?

Master Drake has served an English meal
that tempts my English palate.

But doubtless he can produce some
Spanish delicacies also.

You led me to believe, madam, that you
would publicly disgrace this trespassing

marauder. It is at your risk and peril
that you show him favour.

My king is grievously offended.

Grim mercy.

I thought to eat first.

But you fill me with fear.

I must needs give heed to the omnipotent
Philip.

Master Drake.

Master Drake, you have heard the Spanish
ambassador.

You are a man forbidden and undone, and
your sovereign must cast you out and

deny you at the word of a foreign
prince.

Give me your sword.

I deserve this indignity. Give me your
sword, I say.

It is well gilded.

Fit for a queen to handle.

Kneel, Francis Drake.

Good people.

Thus... do I honour the man who opened
the seas of the world to English ships

and taught Englishmen to be sailors.

Rise up, Sir Francis Drake.

Madam, you have put an outrageous
affront upon my royal master.

Give me leave to withdraw from your
presence.

My men, my brothers.

See how the queen has honored us.

God save the queen.

God save the queen!

Hooray!

Hooray!

Hooray!

Madam, I humbly thank you. I will try to
bear my new honor with dignity.

In heaven's name, what is it to you,
child?

If you please, madam.

You have made me dame, Drake.

Why, Scapegrace, there needs a parson
for that and a ring and the Lord knows

what. By your leave, madam.

We had all that years ago.

Oh.

Marsden Fletcher wedded us. And Tom Moon
and his wife were witnesses.

Is he

mad?

I think his love for you child must have
crazed him.

I thank you, my lord, for saving my
life.

I pray you thank me not with your words,
Sir Francis, but with your silence.

John Doughty will trouble you no more.

No.

Nor you neither.

We are indebted to you, my lord.

Come, the pair of you.

Though it be so long since you were wed.

We will make this feast serve as a
wedding breakfast.

Come,

let the queen be served.

But what are these?

Apples?

Apples that grow beneath the earth, ma
'am, in the new world I have come from.

They are called potatoes.

Indeed. And where will you make your
home?

At Plymouth, Your Grace.

In a house which looks upon the sea.

That when my husband is abroad, I may
watch for his return.

And when I am at home, I can watch for
the approach of Your Grace's enemies.

With her now.

Back with all haste to Spain.

Philip must send Elizabeth another
necklace.

Not a ruby's this time, but a ship's.

Estamos haciendo más despiertos. Más
despiertos, señor.

Y mire, ahí hay un barco que está
pasando, pasando, pasando, y es bueno.

bueno, bueno.

Gracias, señor.

These are the figures I've arrived at,
Your Grace, from information and my own

observances.

King Philip has staked all he has and so
much that he has not on this one throw

that Spain is mortgaged for centuries to
come.

Now, were it possible that the
invincible armada should be vanquished,

nation would never recover.

But it is not possible.

How can we hope to stand against them?

Well... England is ever greatest when
she stands alone with all the odds

her.

Lord Howard of Effingham. Your Grace.

Lord Admiral, the task of England's
deliverance lies in your hands, and I am

well content to leave it there.

See that you are guided in all your
undertakings by the wisdom of Sir

Brick, for I rate his value higher than
the whole of Spain's armada.

It's agreed, then.

Directly the wind changes, we set sail
and make another attempt to trap the

Spaniards in their own ports. With all
my heart. If they're still waiting for

us. You think they will not be?

Well, I, Spain's admiral, I would have
reached England on this shoreward gale.

Then let's thank God you're an
Englishman. We're locked in here, but

contrary wind, we're as helpless as a
bear tied to a stake.

Ah, it's no use.

I've no stomach for bowls today.

What be amiss with him, Master Locke?
Oh, it's the thought of what's in store

for all of us if the Spaniards come
sneaking up the sound.

I said out would be, if Drake weren't
put away, the Spaniards would come, I

said. And now they're coming.

Aye. And you said it would rain Tuesday,
and it's fine. Let them come.

Haven't Drake singed the King of Spain's
beard at Cady's?

Bain't he a match for the Armada?

Do but look at our fleet down along.

Oh, one Spanish galleon would swallow
the lot.

You're a true British bulldog, Locke,
ever growling over your own bone. I

as I think, Sir Francis. And to hear him
speak, you'd say that if... Locke had

England's keys in his keeping.

He'd offer them to the enemy on a golden
platter and thank him kindly for wiping

his boots and his clothes.

But let the enemy show his face and he'd
be the first, yes, you, Locke, to

unhook his gun and offer his life.

Come, let's put black thoughts out of
our minds.

The sun is shining and the turf is level
and green.

My Lord Howard, Cousin Hawkins, I'll
match you at bowls.

Spain shall be the jack, and we'll see
who can give her the closest route.

Dane Drake, will you cast the jack?

So then, towards Spain for luck.

Roscoe, how many ships did he see?

Well, it was this way, sir. I was hove
-throw off the sillies. When the lookout

cried, sail to starboard, and then sail
to larboard, and then sail ahead.

And up they all came, a great half -moon
of 140 sails, seven miles at a time.

One moment, Lord Howard.

Make way, good people.

What madness is this?

There's time to finish the game and beat
the Spaniards, too.

Summon the men.

We must be out of the harbor before
nightfall. With the wind against us?

Aye, my lord, with the wind against us.

Send runners.

Sound the alarm.

Let the beacons blaze from every
hilltop.

Start a girdle of fire above all.

Should

we

not strike tonight, my lord duke?

Now that the English have news of our
coming? What can they do in the teeth of

this wind?

True enough.

Then we spend tonight in prayers and a
council of war, while the English wait

and gnash their teeth in Plymouth
Harbour.

Daddy, there's daddy.

Here'll be a vineway of England straight
putting out the sea.

Drag down a barber and a rope's end.

Lord bless you. Drake don't care how he
puts the sea.

Only so be he gets there, the longer
they dreaded Spaniards.

Once we're on the point, we can tack
against the wind.

Stand by to hoist the sails. Yes, sir.

The Spaniards still think we're safe in
Plymouth Harbour. They'll get the

surprise of their lives tomorrow morning
when they find us so close beside them.

Today we must let them know our
whereabouts sooner than that. Why? Do we

them tonight, then? What is your plan?

I'll tell you.

Here are the Spaniards.

And here are we.

Send a squadron of eight lighted ships,
my lord.

to maneuver between the armada and the
land, so that they will think it is our

whole fleet, and set their strength on
that side.

While we, in the meantime, we lay our
best ships out to sea, and

let fly into their flank as soon as we
are ready.

These Protestants are surely in league
with Satan.

How else could they have got out of
Plymouth against such a wind?

Can you see them still?

Aye, clear enough, Excellency.

Running back and forth just out of rain.

Like ants from an overset hillock. And
like ants, they cannot hurt us.

What can eight ships do against the
whole force of the Armada?

The men and guns will stand a frontal
attack, my lord. Good.

Shall we go then?

They haven't seen us.

Drake's plan has worked.

The whole Spanish flank lies open to our
guns.

Amen.

themselves, Sir Francis.

Now they're in full flight for Calais.

And there's naught for us to do but
follow after them.

My Lord Howard has sent over to ask what
you will be doing this morning, Master.

Give him my compliments, Tom, and tell
him that this morning I will sleep.

Well,

God rest you, Sir Francis.

He will.

He will.

Peaceful sight, is it not?

They know they are safe from our guns in
Calais roads.

Safe from our guns, but not from your
wit, Sir Francis.

And I promise you they shall not fail
us.

There along, the Duke of Sidonia shall
wish himself back in St. Mary Port among

his orange trees.

Are the fire ships ready?

The men are loading them now.

This will teach them a lesson.

They won't be so ready next time to
meddle with other folks' concerns.

Thanks to you and your like, Master
Locke, there won't be no next time for

Spain's Armada.

Signal the flagship.

All's ready. Here's to the good people
of Calais.

Who, by lying behind us, protect us from
the enemy ahead?

There's the signal. Spread the sails and
set her alight.

Two ships in flames are bearing down
upon us. Don Pedro, the Captain General

ordered all ships out to sea.

in Spanish bonfire.

We'll smoke them out of their hole.

After them now, give them no rest.

We'll carry them till they round on us
and fight.

Hooray! Now, come on.

Faster, you crawling dogs, faster.

The English are snapping at our heels.
The ship must go as she will, sir. The

rattlesnake boats will not answer the
helm. A minute, if you bet you're alive.

Yes, sir.

Zara Lantern, Tom.

No need for the rest to follow.

We'll go after this prize alone.

He says he wants conditions.

Tell him I'm Sir Francis Drake, and my
match is burning and no leisure for

partying. If he yield, well.

If not, I sink him.

Yield or sink, says Drake.

Drake? Is your captain here, Drake? Aye,
Drake.

I were resolved to die rather than
yield.

But there is no shame in yielding to
Eldraki.

Don Pedro de Valdez, we can all bear
witness to your prowess.

It is but the fortune of war that you
are on my ship and not I on yours.

This gentleman is my guest.

See that he is treated with all honor.

Now, Tom, up with thee and find out
what's inside her. Come on, men!

Not me, Danny.

Let me pass by that.

Nay, nay, Grandfather. You can't come by
without the word.

The Queen of England needs no password,
fool.

Stand aside and let Elizabeth through.

Stop the chain. Sell the assembly.

here today because my heart is with you
and my place is in your midst.

There be some who have warned me that I
should not trust myself to armed

multitudes. To them I make answer, let
tyrants fear.

I am your queen and a woman, yet in this
time of danger I swear to you that I

have the heart of a king, and of a king
of England too, and think foul scorn of

Spain or any prince of Europe that dare
invade the borders of my realm.

To which, sooner than any dishonor
should grow by me, I myself will take up

arms.

Why, my little Elizabeth, I thought you
far away in Devon. I was, madam, too

far. Give me leave to stay near you, who
must be thirsty and use of feet.

Be it good or ill, we will wait to hear
the news together.

My Lord Lester, I am ready.

General, sound the bell, quick.

Your Grace, Your Grace, my Lord, there
is a ship approaching, and by her flag

she looks to bear good news.

News from the fleet?

Come, let your men break and leave their
colors, my Lord.

Sound the trumpet.

The Armada is defeated.

Men of England,

know ye that the most powerful enemy
that has ever sought to invade our

has been driven...

brought to naught in battle.

We have pursued and fought them many
days and nights, during which time they

not sink so much as one cock boat or
pinnace of ours.

The invincible armada is vanquished.

We have opened the gates of the sea and
given you the keys of the world.

From this day forward, the English
merchant can rove whether he will, and

shall say him nay.

the spot you stand on has become the
center of the earth.

Men of England, hitherto we have been
too much afraid.

Henceforth we will fear only...
