1
00:00:40,774 --> 00:00:42,537
(Door opens )
2
00:00:42,609 --> 00:00:44,076
Entrez.
3
00:00:44,144 --> 00:00:47,170
- Master Ratcliffe.
- Ah, Clifford.
4
00:00:47,247 --> 00:00:49,943
- You're to England tonight?
- Yes, to London.
5
00:00:50,016 --> 00:00:51,381
I envy you.
6
00:00:51,451 --> 00:00:55,148
The future of England is here
in the Court of Burgundy, Clifford.
7
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:57,348
In the person of Prince Richard of York.
8
00:00:57,424 --> 00:00:59,619
(Scoffs ) The French lad.
9
00:00:59,692 --> 00:01:01,216
You don't think him the real heir?
10
00:01:01,294 --> 00:01:02,989
He will do.
11
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:05,429
He has given me some messages
for you to take to London.
12
00:01:05,498 --> 00:01:06,658
To whom?
13
00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:09,497
Enough of the faction
to unbolt doors when he arrives.
14
00:01:10,437 --> 00:01:12,735
Hussey...the Archdeacon.
15
00:01:13,573 --> 00:01:16,406
The Dean of Paul's. Mountford. Daubenay.
16
00:01:16,476 --> 00:01:18,444
- Which Daubenay?
- William.
17
00:01:18,511 --> 00:01:21,639
And...Sir William Stanley.
18
00:01:21,714 --> 00:01:23,682
- Lord Thomas's brother?
- Aye.
19
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:25,877
But he's one of Henry's pillars,
close to the King,
20
00:01:25,952 --> 00:01:28,318
- chamberlain to the royal court.
- I know.
21
00:01:28,388 --> 00:01:32,484
- Yet I'm to deliver this?
- As the rest. Carefully.
22
00:01:32,559 --> 00:01:35,323
And myself, perhaps,
into the iron hand of the King?
23
00:01:36,129 --> 00:01:38,324
Sir William Stanley is a man of York.
24
00:01:39,065 --> 00:01:43,365
We have some proof that,
under his court robes and his subtle way,
25
00:01:43,436 --> 00:01:46,963
he may not be inclined to...
hinder the French lad.
26
00:01:47,807 --> 00:01:50,469
He's a secret and a preening man,
and yet...
27
00:01:51,744 --> 00:01:54,508
- Hussey will tell you best.
- I'll have my servants pack.
28
00:01:57,283 --> 00:02:02,118
They've set up an old stag in the royal park
that'll not run straight for him.
29
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:05,917
(Distant cheering)
30
00:02:08,394 --> 00:02:10,658
- Archdeacon Hussey.
- Ah, Master Ratcliffe.
31
00:02:10,730 --> 00:02:12,698
Tell me, where is Sir William Stanley?
32
00:02:12,765 --> 00:02:16,223
- Over there, standing by the bailey door.
- I would speak to him.
33
00:02:16,302 --> 00:02:17,997
He attends the King.
34
00:02:18,071 --> 00:02:20,505
All this show and pomp are in his hands -
35
00:02:20,573 --> 00:02:22,803
what is not ordered by the old lady,
the King's mother.
36
00:02:22,876 --> 00:02:25,310
- When was the royal child dubbed?
- Prince Henry?
37
00:02:25,378 --> 00:02:28,973
This morning in St. John's Chapel,
whilst you were on the road from Calais.
38
00:02:29,749 --> 00:02:33,207
So, the Noble Order of the Bath
has a three-year-old prince admitted?
39
00:02:33,286 --> 00:02:37,086
The second, who is named, too,
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
40
00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:39,421
Well, there's a boggy title
for a king's second son.
41
00:02:39,492 --> 00:02:42,484
But do you not see?
His elder is Prince of Wales
42
00:02:42,562 --> 00:02:45,656
and now the whole kingdom
is royalled over by Tudor stock.
43
00:02:45,732 --> 00:02:47,700
- (Distant cheering)
- And yet the people cheer.
44
00:02:47,767 --> 00:02:50,235
The people have
an infinite capacity for cheering.
45
00:02:50,970 --> 00:02:54,736
But er...how do the Stanleys
buckle to all this?
46
00:02:54,807 --> 00:02:59,540
Lord Thomas, his brother,
is as discreet as a dead owl.
47
00:02:59,612 --> 00:03:03,207
Besides, the old lady, his wife,
carries his fortune with hers.
48
00:03:03,283 --> 00:03:05,945
Being the King's father-in-law by marriage,
49
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:09,045
he is well sheltered
and knows when he is snug.
50
00:03:09,122 --> 00:03:11,682
- But Sir William there...
- Is our friend.
51
00:03:11,758 --> 00:03:15,057
I hope so.
Though he's an ambiguous man.
52
00:03:15,128 --> 00:03:16,789
Ah, how is the tilting?
53
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:19,855
You could do better in your priestly robes,
riding a gravestone.
54
00:03:19,933 --> 00:03:22,595
- Are no lances shivered?
- Oh, lances are shivered.
55
00:03:22,669 --> 00:03:24,637
Their targets are so clothed in metal
56
00:03:24,704 --> 00:03:27,502
you could batter on them with a beam
without waking the man inside.
57
00:03:27,574 --> 00:03:30,372
They ride as if asleep.
Only the horses sweat.
58
00:03:30,443 --> 00:03:33,503
- That is not jousting. Why, in my...
- But the crowd roar.
59
00:03:33,580 --> 00:03:36,549
Because the King fills them with drink,
though not at his expense.
60
00:03:36,616 --> 00:03:41,053
In my young days, jousting was
a man's sport, an exercise for knights.
61
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,487
What's this realm come to?
There's no nobility left.
62
00:03:44,557 --> 00:03:47,492
That is our subject.
We are all of the same mind.
63
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,188
Ah, yes. Who will lead armies?
64
00:03:50,263 --> 00:03:53,892
Why, women will be doing it next,
with bladders mounted on courtiers.
65
00:03:53,967 --> 00:03:56,800
In good King Edward's time,
the courtiers were mounted on women.
66
00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:59,633
And now we're ridden by tradesmen
and led by clerks.
67
00:03:59,706 --> 00:04:01,537
No offence, Reverend Archdeacon.
68
00:04:01,608 --> 00:04:03,473
No offence under God.
69
00:04:03,543 --> 00:04:06,671
Master Ratcliffe here
has messages from Robert Clifford.
70
00:04:06,746 --> 00:04:08,441
- Oh.
- Privately, from Flanders.
71
00:04:08,514 --> 00:04:11,074
- The Earl of Essex...
- For Sir William Stanley there.
72
00:04:11,150 --> 00:04:13,812
The Earl of Essex had a pavilion like a hill,
all green and...
73
00:04:13,886 --> 00:04:17,117
Sir Simon, I think it best
I speak to Sir William alone.
74
00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:19,590
- To whom?
- Sir William Stanley.
75
00:04:19,659 --> 00:04:20,956
Ah, the chamberlain.
76
00:04:21,694 --> 00:04:26,358
We have messages for you,
through Clifford, from the French lad.
77
00:04:26,432 --> 00:04:28,332
I'll not intrigue.
78
00:04:28,401 --> 00:04:31,234
- Ratcliffe has brought a letter.
- I'll not take it.
79
00:04:31,304 --> 00:04:33,465
- No, but you will listen.
- ( # Fanfare )
80
00:04:33,539 --> 00:04:35,507
Here comes the King.
81
00:04:55,962 --> 00:04:58,192
Our lady Mother,
there are new entertainments?
82
00:04:58,264 --> 00:05:01,563
All has been arranged by
Sir William Stanley here.
83
00:05:01,634 --> 00:05:03,864
Will you go in?
We have some words to speak.
84
00:05:04,737 --> 00:05:08,537
Poynings, Bray, Oxford.
Where is our cardinal? Ah.
85
00:05:09,309 --> 00:05:13,177
- Sir Edward, you are set for Ireland?
- Yes, Your Grace. I am weather-proofed.
86
00:05:13,246 --> 00:05:15,214
- And rebel-proofed, too, I hope.
- (Laughs )
87
00:05:15,281 --> 00:05:18,011
You will have 400 men.
First, subdue the great Earl of Kildare.
88
00:05:18,084 --> 00:05:20,052
Our younger son now governs Ireland.
89
00:05:20,119 --> 00:05:22,587
You will administer in Prince Henry's name
and he in ours.
90
00:05:22,655 --> 00:05:23,917
Yes, my Lord.
91
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:27,357
We must bring our peace to Ireland
and our trade to Europe.
92
00:05:27,427 --> 00:05:30,328
We'll make a fair mark
of these islands in the world.
93
00:05:30,396 --> 00:05:33,126
Your Grace will not arm
an expedition to France, then?
94
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:35,531
My Lord of Derby, we have done with wars.
95
00:05:35,601 --> 00:05:39,560
Woolen cloth, treaties and marriage,
these are our regiments in the new world.
96
00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:42,631
And you'll not unseat the pretender,
Richard of York?
97
00:05:43,676 --> 00:05:48,306
- His name is Warbeck.
- Yet many think him that Prince Richard,
98
00:05:48,381 --> 00:05:52,010
son of King Edward, who was murdered
with his brother in this tower.
99
00:05:52,085 --> 00:05:53,882
He is Perkin Warbeck,
100
00:05:53,953 --> 00:05:57,116
a gnat that nips on a summer evening
and can be brushed away.
101
00:05:57,190 --> 00:06:00,216
We fear only the poison
that may grow in the bite.
102
00:06:01,427 --> 00:06:04,294
My good Sir Edward,
a safe crossing on the Irish Sea
103
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:06,764
and keep your feet on firm ground
in that slippery land.
104
00:06:06,833 --> 00:06:08,892
(Chuckles ) God save Your Grace.
105
00:06:26,753 --> 00:06:29,779
- There goes the chamberlain in full sail.
- (Chuckles )
106
00:06:29,856 --> 00:06:33,986
There is a man who will lie abeam of
any great event and wait a favorable wind.
107
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:37,257
- I do not trust him.
- He crowned the King.
108
00:06:37,330 --> 00:06:39,298
The wind blew a crown across his bows
109
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,492
and he used it
as he thought to his advantage.
110
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:44,370
There's sourness in him.
111
00:06:46,939 --> 00:06:49,669
- Wait here with my men, Sir Robert.
- I do, my Lord.
112
00:06:50,943 --> 00:06:52,570
(Bell chimes )
113
00:06:59,552 --> 00:07:01,520
Lord Oxford, you walk about late.
114
00:07:01,587 --> 00:07:03,452
- And I do not know why.
- Oh?
115
00:07:03,523 --> 00:07:06,686
Sir Robert Clifford is here from Antwerp
and delivered himself to me.
116
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:09,193
- Where's Clifford now?
- I have him here in custody.
117
00:07:09,262 --> 00:07:11,230
- On what charge?
- Charge?
118
00:07:11,297 --> 00:07:13,527
There's no charge yet,
except that he's a traitor.
119
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:16,397
- How's that so?
- Early last year, Clifford went to Antwerp
120
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:18,437
and there joined the company
of that young man
121
00:07:18,504 --> 00:07:20,699
who calls himself
the fourth King Richard of England.
122
00:07:20,773 --> 00:07:22,206
Is that treason?
123
00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:25,301
Only that Antwerp is half filled
with disgruntled Yorkists
124
00:07:25,378 --> 00:07:27,346
- and this young man...
- Perkin Warbeck.
125
00:07:27,413 --> 00:07:30,177
..he has a company of archers
with white roses in their hats,
126
00:07:30,249 --> 00:07:32,240
given him by the Emperor Maximilian.
127
00:07:32,318 --> 00:07:36,687
And he displays the royal arms of England
in his house as though he were enthroned.
128
00:07:36,756 --> 00:07:39,350
And this...Clifford has spent
all these months in his company.
129
00:07:39,425 --> 00:07:41,188
- And is now come home.
- Yes.
130
00:07:41,260 --> 00:07:44,161
He strays into my yard, bold as a goat,
131
00:07:44,230 --> 00:07:46,698
and fixes me with those little, goat-like eyes
132
00:07:46,766 --> 00:07:50,702
and then tells me that the King has granted
him pardon and a safe conduct.
133
00:07:50,770 --> 00:07:52,738
- I come to you.
- Rightly.
134
00:07:53,506 --> 00:07:55,599
Is Clifford a man of yours?
135
00:07:55,675 --> 00:07:58,644
Has become so,
for rather he's the King's pensioner.
136
00:07:58,711 --> 00:08:01,009
He awaits his pension and forgiveness.
137
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,913
- You are the old fox, Your Grace.
- Oh, no.
138
00:08:03,983 --> 00:08:06,076
Fox is in Durham. Only Morton is here.
139
00:08:06,152 --> 00:08:10,384
I had instructed him by messengers
to present himself to you.
140
00:08:10,456 --> 00:08:13,823
If you will carry him by boat
to Greenwich tomorrow,
141
00:08:13,893 --> 00:08:16,191
the King will expect you.
142
00:08:16,262 --> 00:08:19,095
I had thought to give you some token
this Christmas.
143
00:08:19,866 --> 00:08:23,029
A ruby ring to wear to Mass.
Would you like that?
144
00:08:23,803 --> 00:08:27,569
- I would like the peace of my Lord's realm.
- Oh, that is sure.
145
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,733
And a ruby ring, as well?
146
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:33,502
When Arthur is married
to a princess of Spain
147
00:08:33,579 --> 00:08:36,480
and Margaret is Queen of the Scots,
148
00:08:36,549 --> 00:08:39,916
our children shall be seals on treaties.
149
00:08:39,986 --> 00:08:43,513
Blood is stronger than wax.
The same red stains deeper.
150
00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:46,217
- Harry. Oh, forgive me.
- Mother, what is it?
151
00:08:46,292 --> 00:08:49,625
I have grave news.
My brother, Jasper, is dying.
152
00:08:49,695 --> 00:08:52,528
Old Uncle of Bedford,
has he come to rest?
153
00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:54,889
He must die here.
154
00:08:54,967 --> 00:08:57,868
Will you go, my love? Ask Daubenay
to bring him if he's transportable.
155
00:08:57,937 --> 00:09:00,201
He must end as he's lived, in our sight.
156
00:09:01,974 --> 00:09:04,875
I remember...how at Harfleur
157
00:09:04,944 --> 00:09:08,141
he raised his banner
before any other man for me
158
00:09:08,214 --> 00:09:10,205
when I was Earl of Richmond.
159
00:09:10,983 --> 00:09:14,077
Those are days I would neither lose
nor live again, Mother.
160
00:09:14,854 --> 00:09:16,719
I must be the last invader.
161
00:09:17,456 --> 00:09:20,186
- Then keep good hold.
- We do.
162
00:09:20,259 --> 00:09:23,194
- You forgive too much.
- Let the wounds heal.
163
00:09:23,262 --> 00:09:25,355
- (Man ) The King will see me.
- Who's there?
164
00:09:26,165 --> 00:09:27,462
My Lord, lady.
165
00:09:27,533 --> 00:09:29,330
You come in stinking weather.
You have news.
166
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:30,869
- Aye, my Lord.
- News from Ireland?
167
00:09:30,937 --> 00:09:33,599
- Ireland is an object of some mirth.
- Well, that's something.
168
00:09:33,673 --> 00:09:35,868
Mother, we'll come to you soon.
169
00:09:35,942 --> 00:09:37,239
Let's have it.
170
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:40,871
I hear Poynings has made a clean sweep
of the Irish Lords and arrested Kildare.
171
00:09:40,947 --> 00:09:44,110
- Has he indeed? Kildare?
- He's been packed a prisoner to England.
172
00:09:44,917 --> 00:09:47,477
Well, there's a parcel.
This time he must lodge in the Tower.
173
00:09:47,553 --> 00:09:51,819
We have no other fences strong
enough for a bull. You have other news?
174
00:09:51,891 --> 00:09:54,917
I have brought, by the Cardinal's order,
Sir Robert Clifford.
175
00:09:56,062 --> 00:09:58,053
- Yes, I know.
- Will Your Grace speak with him?
176
00:09:58,130 --> 00:10:00,064
- Tomorrow, in council.
- Yes, my Lord.
177
00:10:00,132 --> 00:10:03,533
We shall need good eyes
to read the truth in that shadowy man.
178
00:10:04,337 --> 00:10:06,567
Your gracious Majesty.
179
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:09,805
Rise, Clifford.
180
00:10:11,510 --> 00:10:13,137
Bray.
181
00:10:15,214 --> 00:10:19,617
Sir Robert Clifford, in a letter
conveyed to His Grace, the Cardinal,
182
00:10:19,685 --> 00:10:21,585
on the eighth day of November
183
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,554
you did declare
that you had certain knowledge
184
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:26,820
of diverse treasonable activities
and conspiracies
185
00:10:26,892 --> 00:10:29,360
committed by several subjects of this realm
186
00:10:29,428 --> 00:10:32,226
in aid and abettance of the pretender,
Perkin Warbeck,
187
00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:35,790
pertaining to the overthrow of our
most gracious sovereign, King Henry,
188
00:10:35,868 --> 00:10:39,599
which matters you sought to lay in person
before His Majesty.
189
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,003
I did so.
190
00:10:41,073 --> 00:10:43,337
And that these conspiracies
were made known to you
191
00:10:43,409 --> 00:10:45,843
in the land of Flanders
and the dukedom of Burgundy,
192
00:10:45,911 --> 00:10:48,038
where you attended the said pretender
193
00:10:48,114 --> 00:10:50,776
in private service of the King
and the council.
194
00:10:50,850 --> 00:10:53,876
- You know that to be true.
- Thank you, Bray.
195
00:10:54,954 --> 00:10:56,478
What conspiracies?
196
00:10:57,556 --> 00:11:01,788
Your Majesty, having obtained
the credence and trust of that pretender
197
00:11:01,861 --> 00:11:05,854
through my own pretence
of being of his faction...as I was bid,
198
00:11:05,931 --> 00:11:11,335
I learned much, from him and from his
entourage, which I have since verified.
199
00:11:11,404 --> 00:11:13,031
Much of what?
200
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:16,706
First, my Lord, that he was promised
201
00:11:16,776 --> 00:11:19,301
by the Emperor Maximilian
and the Duchess of Burgundy
202
00:11:19,378 --> 00:11:22,870
the means of crossing the sea and
landing in this realm with men and arms.
203
00:11:22,948 --> 00:11:24,347
That we know.
204
00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:28,649
And that in this he may be aided
by the throne of Scotland,
205
00:11:28,721 --> 00:11:32,623
whose envoys came several times
to Antwerp and with whom I spoke.
206
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:34,319
This we believe.
207
00:11:34,393 --> 00:11:37,328
Other springs of discontent
are being tapped
208
00:11:37,396 --> 00:11:39,364
in Calais and here in London.
209
00:11:39,432 --> 00:11:43,630
- Who in Calais?
- The Lord Fitzwalter is the principal.
210
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:48,072
- You know that?
- I've read his letters and have copies here.
211
00:11:48,140 --> 00:11:51,871
We'll see those later.
Who disaffects in London?
212
00:11:53,345 --> 00:11:56,746
Some of the Church
and some of the court, my Lord.
213
00:11:56,816 --> 00:11:59,944
The clergy have no cause to hate us.
Who of the court?
214
00:12:01,854 --> 00:12:04,823
My Liege, I feel that by pointing the finger
I may give offence.
215
00:12:04,890 --> 00:12:10,123
The offence is in their act,
not your intelligence...if you say rightly.
216
00:12:11,931 --> 00:12:14,991
Among them is a kinsmen of...that lord.
217
00:12:15,968 --> 00:12:17,401
William Daubenay.
218
00:12:17,470 --> 00:12:19,438
That comes close home.
219
00:12:20,272 --> 00:12:22,069
What proof have you?
220
00:12:23,676 --> 00:12:26,907
They all communicate with Warbeck.
I have brought letters.
221
00:12:26,979 --> 00:12:30,142
- More copies?
- Some in the original.
222
00:12:30,216 --> 00:12:32,343
And all these men will rise
if Warbeck lands?
223
00:12:32,418 --> 00:12:35,182
- Yes, they are sworn to it.
- We must examine this.
224
00:12:35,254 --> 00:12:37,814
- There have been no murmurs.
- But here, close to our court.
225
00:12:37,890 --> 00:12:39,915
Closer, sir, than I have said.
226
00:12:40,726 --> 00:12:42,318
What more?
227
00:12:42,394 --> 00:12:45,989
I have proof, sir...against your security.
228
00:12:46,065 --> 00:12:50,832
We had thought this realm at peace,
but this is a catalog of some discredit.
229
00:12:51,637 --> 00:12:54,071
Or is it but an adding-up of malice?
230
00:12:54,140 --> 00:12:57,803
It will stand inquiry.
I've only done as I was commissioned.
231
00:12:57,877 --> 00:13:00,937
- And will be rewarded if it is proved.
- It cannot be proved.
232
00:13:01,847 --> 00:13:04,213
Yes, Your Grace, it can.
233
00:13:04,283 --> 00:13:05,580
Oh?
234
00:13:07,019 --> 00:13:08,350
That is all?
235
00:13:10,256 --> 00:13:13,316
We asked. That is all?
236
00:13:14,894 --> 00:13:17,260
There is one other.
237
00:13:18,030 --> 00:13:19,463
Who?
238
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,094
I...hesitate to name so great an officer.
239
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:27,432
One of your council.
240
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,204
Brother...of an earl.
241
00:13:32,945 --> 00:13:35,812
- He is not here.
- Sir William Stanley.
242
00:13:35,881 --> 00:13:38,213
- The Lord Chamberlain?
- The first of all.
243
00:13:38,284 --> 00:13:40,081
That is not true!
244
00:13:40,152 --> 00:13:43,053
Last March, my Liege,
before I went to Flanders,
245
00:13:43,122 --> 00:13:47,559
Sir William talked with me, gave me
messages of good hope for Warbeck,
246
00:13:47,626 --> 00:13:50,652
begged me to be his intelligencer
and send reports back.
247
00:13:50,729 --> 00:13:54,665
- Which you have done?
- From time to time, yes. For appearances.
248
00:13:54,733 --> 00:13:56,792
It is not possible.
249
00:13:56,869 --> 00:14:00,669
I knew Your Grace would not at once
credit it, or I would have named him first.
250
00:14:00,739 --> 00:14:02,764
If it is false...
251
00:14:03,509 --> 00:14:06,945
- I stand in danger?
- You do.
252
00:14:08,614 --> 00:14:11,208
But I have witnesses who'll speak on oath.
253
00:14:11,283 --> 00:14:14,616
Oath! That is enough poison
for one sitting.
254
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:16,484
The air in here is foul.
255
00:14:16,555 --> 00:14:18,750
When you've read the depositions,
come to us, Bray.
256
00:14:18,824 --> 00:14:21,156
We shall not easily believe this man.
257
00:14:27,933 --> 00:14:31,130
Sir William's brother,
Thomas, Earl of Derby, is part of this?
258
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,603
I think he does not know, my Lord.
259
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,737
Well?
260
00:14:36,508 --> 00:14:38,135
What do we do?
261
00:14:38,944 --> 00:14:41,845
I think this business, started, must go on.
262
00:14:43,015 --> 00:14:44,983
Do you believe in it, Bray?
263
00:14:45,784 --> 00:14:49,049
It touches persons least reliable,
most easily estranged.
264
00:14:49,121 --> 00:14:51,783
- The Church?
- Is jealous of sanctuary and privilege.
265
00:14:51,857 --> 00:14:54,792
And other men play games while we work.
266
00:14:55,561 --> 00:14:57,529
Will Your Grace proceed?
267
00:14:58,264 --> 00:15:00,994
Do you think
Sir William Stanley plays games?
268
00:15:05,170 --> 00:15:08,936
We will move our court to the Tower of
London. Summon Sir William to attend us.
269
00:15:09,942 --> 00:15:11,204
As chamberlain.
270
00:15:12,478 --> 00:15:14,446
(Distant Latin prayers )
271
00:15:27,426 --> 00:15:29,394
He scarcely breathes.
272
00:15:33,666 --> 00:15:34,963
Uncle?
273
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,203
He's left us.
274
00:15:46,578 --> 00:15:48,546
Goodbye, old man.
275
00:15:48,614 --> 00:15:50,707
God light your wandering.
276
00:15:52,551 --> 00:15:56,214
He has taken my youth...Mother.
277
00:16:00,659 --> 00:16:02,286
(Bell tolls)
278
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:09,795
Your Royal Grace.
279
00:16:18,177 --> 00:16:21,442
My Uncle of Bedford...is dead.
280
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:24,612
I grieve with Your Majesty.
281
00:16:24,683 --> 00:16:26,617
He was an old man.
282
00:16:27,853 --> 00:16:29,343
Yes.
283
00:16:29,421 --> 00:16:31,514
You sent for me. I am here.
284
00:16:32,891 --> 00:16:35,052
I am surprised you hold court
in this gloomy tower.
285
00:16:35,127 --> 00:16:37,721
- I had thought you were at Greenwich.
- It is convenient.
286
00:16:41,934 --> 00:16:45,062
- Are you honest, Stanley?
- I...hope so, my Lord.
287
00:16:45,137 --> 00:16:49,836
So do I. If you were a man
painted on glass, I could see through you.
288
00:16:49,908 --> 00:16:51,205
My Lord?
289
00:16:51,276 --> 00:16:54,803
You are too opaque.
I would have you...in a window.
290
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,940
- Oh, Your Grace is whimsical.
- But not inconstant.
291
00:16:58,817 --> 00:17:01,980
- I was once your suitor.
- What d'you mean?
292
00:17:02,054 --> 00:17:05,455
The night before Bosworth
I rode alone to your camp
293
00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:08,493
and begged your help
against Richard of Gloucester in the field.
294
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,027
Which I gave you.
295
00:17:10,095 --> 00:17:12,256
Only when Richard
was so placed by his own rashness
296
00:17:12,331 --> 00:17:14,299
that you were sure of his overthrow.
297
00:17:14,366 --> 00:17:15,890
I did not stand by like Tom.
298
00:17:15,968 --> 00:17:19,460
I proclaimed you King
and have served you nine years since.
299
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:24,976
- And yourself.
- I...have some property in Wales.
300
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:27,945
- I am no earl.
- But you would be.
301
00:17:28,013 --> 00:17:31,141
Your Majesty has summoned me
to carp at me?
302
00:17:31,216 --> 00:17:33,275
Now, why should you carp at that?
303
00:17:33,352 --> 00:17:37,914
- We are no fish, sir. We are your King.
- Do I not know? I made you King.
304
00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:39,924
You made us not!
305
00:17:40,659 --> 00:17:44,117
- Nor since have loved us.
- Oh, love's in the heart, sir. It is not a duty.
306
00:17:44,196 --> 00:17:47,131
- It's not in your heart, is it, Sir William?
- I am no flatterer.
307
00:17:47,199 --> 00:17:49,190
Yet you flatter Warbeck.
308
00:17:50,235 --> 00:17:52,135
I do what?
309
00:17:53,572 --> 00:17:56,336
Oh, Stanley, how can I know your mind?
310
00:17:57,476 --> 00:17:59,444
Did you or did you not, last March,
311
00:17:59,511 --> 00:18:02,344
- send messages by Sir Robert Clifford?
- I did not.
312
00:18:02,414 --> 00:18:04,382
- And are you honest?
- Who says that I did?
313
00:18:04,450 --> 00:18:06,748
His Grace, the cardinal, has intelligence
314
00:18:06,819 --> 00:18:09,549
that you and others
have compounded with that boy.
315
00:18:09,621 --> 00:18:14,490
The cardinal has spies in every kitchen.
They'll serve what dish he choose.
316
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,496
We did not credit it, either. For one thing,
we did not think you such a fool.
317
00:18:19,198 --> 00:18:21,359
The French boy is nothing.
318
00:18:23,202 --> 00:18:26,103
- But there is proof, it seems.
- What proof have they?
319
00:18:26,171 --> 00:18:29,197
Enough evidence to stand examination.
320
00:18:29,274 --> 00:18:31,936
I...am to be charged?
321
00:18:33,512 --> 00:18:36,037
I, who am the staff
on which your household leans?
322
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:38,948
- I am your trusty servant!
- We don't know that.
323
00:18:39,017 --> 00:18:41,986
There are men of whom
we would more readily believe it.
324
00:18:43,522 --> 00:18:45,490
- What can I say?
- Nothing to us.
325
00:18:45,557 --> 00:18:47,855
You shall answer to a private court.
326
00:18:47,926 --> 00:18:50,417
We shall command
Oxford, Bray and Morton and others
327
00:18:50,496 --> 00:18:53,727
to investigate the whole matter.
There is as yet no writ against you.
328
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:57,064
If there is no charge,
I may be about the court?
329
00:18:57,836 --> 00:19:01,533
We meet the new year at Richmond.
You will stay here in the Tower.
330
00:19:01,607 --> 00:19:03,074
A prisoner?
331
00:19:04,643 --> 00:19:09,342
Digby, the lieutenant, will be your keeper
until we've measured your honesty.
332
00:19:10,716 --> 00:19:12,684
I will have law.
333
00:19:19,458 --> 00:19:21,653
There you are, Sir William.
334
00:19:21,727 --> 00:19:25,163
The room is bare...but you may furnish it.
335
00:19:25,230 --> 00:19:27,289
- It's cold.
- It is the cold season.
336
00:19:28,033 --> 00:19:31,400
But firewood and light
will cost you but five shillings a week.
337
00:19:31,470 --> 00:19:35,668
This is a good room. When you've ordered
your furniture you'll be well set.
338
00:19:37,242 --> 00:19:40,211
And you may have servants.
Ten shillings for two.
339
00:19:41,613 --> 00:19:44,013
- The others are housed in Newgate.
- What others?
340
00:19:44,082 --> 00:19:47,176
If you were committed, the treasury
should pay your food and so forth,
341
00:19:47,252 --> 00:19:50,244
- but since you are merely lodged...
- What others are in Newgate?
342
00:19:50,322 --> 00:19:52,847
Why...the Dean of St Paul's.
343
00:19:53,692 --> 00:19:55,091
Bless him.
344
00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:00,120
And other clergy,
who find it something like hell. (Laughs )
345
00:20:00,966 --> 00:20:04,766
And there are gentlemen. Sir Simon
Mountford, I hear, and Master Daubenay,
346
00:20:04,836 --> 00:20:08,397
have been taken in, together with
other, lesser men - servants and so on.
347
00:20:08,473 --> 00:20:11,772
- And await trial?
- They stay at the King's pleasure.
348
00:20:11,843 --> 00:20:13,811
Not, I think, at theirs.
349
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,581
You have good light in that window.
You will see the sun of an afternoon.
350
00:20:19,651 --> 00:20:20,982
- I...
- Should it shine.
351
00:20:21,053 --> 00:20:23,180
..would receive friends?
352
00:20:23,255 --> 00:20:25,314
You may ask.
353
00:20:25,390 --> 00:20:27,824
But whether it be granted
depends upon the King.
354
00:20:28,627 --> 00:20:31,095
We all depend upon the King.
355
00:20:31,163 --> 00:20:34,621
We do that. And he depends upon God.
356
00:20:35,434 --> 00:20:39,393
And He, I sometimes think, depends on
whether He is awake or asleep. (Laughs )
357
00:20:40,872 --> 00:20:44,137
- Erm...about servants.
- Yes?
358
00:20:45,344 --> 00:20:49,075
There is a prisoner...
Well, there are two, but one I have in mind.
359
00:20:49,147 --> 00:20:51,809
He is too young for Newgate.
They will corrupt him.
360
00:20:51,883 --> 00:20:54,852
- If he's not already corrupted.
- He's a boy. And a very good servant.
361
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,289
He'll serve you very well. Master Thomas
Astwood, a steward of Martin Abbey,
362
00:20:59,358 --> 00:21:02,225
- I have asked for you.
- I am in your hands.
363
00:21:03,128 --> 00:21:04,425
Yes.
364
00:21:06,732 --> 00:21:08,700
I will have him brought to you.
365
00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:14,171
Though why I should be kept here,
that have done nothing to offend our King.
366
00:21:15,073 --> 00:21:17,132
They all say that, sir.
367
00:21:18,610 --> 00:21:21,602
So there's the wound. How deep?
368
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,841
- It cuts to the court.
- Even to the chamberlain?
369
00:21:23,915 --> 00:21:26,042
Sir William Stanley
has been brought before us.
370
00:21:26,785 --> 00:21:28,252
To what effect?
371
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,086
There is evidence, by word of mouth,
that he'd be willing to have Warbeck come.
372
00:21:32,157 --> 00:21:34,125
And crown him king?
373
00:21:35,394 --> 00:21:37,259
Do you believe it, Bray?
374
00:21:37,329 --> 00:21:41,823
I think that Stanley waits to see which
of the opposing sides will gain him most.
375
00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:44,494
He collects factions as he gathers gems,
376
00:21:44,569 --> 00:21:46,799
and does not wear them
till the occasion's right.
377
00:21:46,872 --> 00:21:51,002
This was always a proud, uncertain man,
whose service we have bought...
378
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:54,506
with a high office
which answers not to his ambition.
379
00:21:54,579 --> 00:21:57,139
He is, my Lord, the richest man of York.
380
00:21:57,215 --> 00:22:02,380
His land lies at a wild edge, near waters
that have been stirred up before.
381
00:22:02,454 --> 00:22:06,550
In any rebellion
he will be a power...a head.
382
00:22:06,625 --> 00:22:09,890
- He wrote letters?
- None that we have found.
383
00:22:09,961 --> 00:22:11,929
And you have examined all the witnesses?
384
00:22:11,997 --> 00:22:15,160
We have. The Crown's case would stand.
385
00:22:15,233 --> 00:22:18,259
But all this may be mere suspicion.
386
00:22:20,205 --> 00:22:23,231
- Still, we daren't keep him.
- So he must lose his office.
387
00:22:23,308 --> 00:22:25,776
- And then what?
- Retire to his estates and plot for sure.
388
00:22:25,844 --> 00:22:28,404
- Unless we distrain him.
- And most likely send him into exile?
389
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,847
No. There are enough broody Englishmen
in Flanders. We'll have no more.
390
00:22:31,917 --> 00:22:34,317
- He must be attainted and condemned.
- Of treason.
391
00:22:34,386 --> 00:22:36,411
The King's Bench can do it.
392
00:22:36,488 --> 00:22:38,422
We may then pardon him.
393
00:22:39,191 --> 00:22:41,921
- That is the royal mercy.
- Much used of late.
394
00:22:41,993 --> 00:22:44,393
Punishment will lose its force
if you hold its arm.
395
00:22:45,330 --> 00:22:47,355
We will not rule in blood.
396
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:51,100
Except...it be necessary.
397
00:22:53,872 --> 00:22:55,897
Let the law speak.
398
00:22:55,974 --> 00:22:58,499
Let it interminably be writ
for the mayor to try the others
399
00:22:58,577 --> 00:23:00,943
with a full court
of lords, judges and alderman.
400
00:23:01,012 --> 00:23:03,071
And if the case goes against them...
401
00:23:04,082 --> 00:23:06,050
Stanley shall be tried at Westminster.
402
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,489
Pay Sir Robert Clifford in reward
a thousand pounds.
403
00:23:11,556 --> 00:23:14,889
- 500 will suffice.
- 500, then.
404
00:23:15,627 --> 00:23:18,596
- And keep your ears open, my old friend.
- We do, sir.
405
00:23:19,664 --> 00:23:22,462
So...we're to be tried Friday.
406
00:23:23,235 --> 00:23:26,671
- Who? Thomas?
- Aye. And them as lie in Newgate.
407
00:23:26,738 --> 00:23:28,933
Ah, then you'll have to lie.
408
00:23:29,007 --> 00:23:32,773
I will lie, sir, don't fear.
Unless the priests be confessors.
409
00:23:33,478 --> 00:23:36,606
But to stand accused
with an ounce of fish in your stomach,
410
00:23:36,681 --> 00:23:39,081
I'd sooner it was Thursday,
when I could have eaten meat
411
00:23:39,151 --> 00:23:41,119
and pleaded like a man.
412
00:23:43,021 --> 00:23:47,014
- D'you reckon they'll hang us, sir?
- No, Thomas. I think they won't.
413
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:51,028
- And you're not to be tried?
- Ah, my turn comes later, if at all.
414
00:23:51,863 --> 00:23:53,831
For I have done nothing.
415
00:23:53,899 --> 00:23:56,561
The King wants...merely my money.
416
00:23:57,335 --> 00:24:01,465
They say he has a great habit of trying men
and then letting them go...
417
00:24:02,207 --> 00:24:04,937
that he may prove his point
and show his mercy...
418
00:24:05,010 --> 00:24:08,468
- Yes.
- ..so people will love him. Is it likely?
419
00:24:08,547 --> 00:24:11,482
I think he may hang
one or two who have made some move.
420
00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:14,314
Not such as me.
I'm a steward. I do what I'm told.
421
00:24:14,386 --> 00:24:16,479
Pocket your fear, Thomas.
422
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:20,254
This trial is a mere show.
I know how the world works.
423
00:24:20,325 --> 00:24:25,092
A month today, we will all be walking free...
at the winter's end.
424
00:24:28,333 --> 00:24:32,099
The Earl of Kildare has a north-facing room
overlooking the town wall.
425
00:24:32,170 --> 00:24:33,194
Oh?
426
00:24:33,271 --> 00:24:35,762
And would have pleasure
in talking with you, the warders say.
427
00:24:35,841 --> 00:24:39,777
- I do not know him.
- He'd be good company for your Lordship.
428
00:24:39,845 --> 00:24:42,006
The lieutenant will allow it if you ask.
429
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,015
They say he's a rare animal,
with a good wit.
430
00:24:45,083 --> 00:24:47,108
- An Irishman.
- I do not know him.
431
00:24:47,185 --> 00:24:50,382
You should, though.
We get broody, Your Honor,
432
00:24:50,455 --> 00:24:52,685
waiting alone on judgment.
433
00:24:55,260 --> 00:24:59,856
Ha. It's a hungry, still time in the country,
434
00:24:59,931 --> 00:25:03,059
with the grain going and the food salt.
435
00:25:03,935 --> 00:25:06,267
And nothing stirring
at the edge of the woods.
436
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,408
I wish I were there.
437
00:25:13,478 --> 00:25:15,446
Are there wolves in Denbighshire?
438
00:25:15,514 --> 00:25:17,607
Oh, no, the shepherds have killed them all.
439
00:25:17,682 --> 00:25:20,480
We used to have wolves
when I was a little boy.
440
00:25:20,552 --> 00:25:24,079
I didn't see them, but I could hear them.
And the dogs wouldn't bark.
441
00:25:24,155 --> 00:25:27,022
No. They find them, still,
to the mountains to our west,
442
00:25:27,092 --> 00:25:29,959
but...my estates are well manned.
443
00:25:30,028 --> 00:25:33,520
Your Lordship won't be needing a steward,
then, when we're free?
444
00:25:33,598 --> 00:25:37,534
Thomas, there might be some place
if you...hold your tongue on Friday.
445
00:25:37,602 --> 00:25:40,196
I'll thank you when I've a body left.
446
00:25:41,273 --> 00:25:44,504
Oh, God...may they not touch me.
447
00:25:45,277 --> 00:25:46,574
Thomas...
448
00:25:48,013 --> 00:25:50,675
try to grow into a man...and let me read.
449
00:25:54,786 --> 00:25:59,189
If you met the Earl of Kildare, Sir William,
you could be more merry.
450
00:25:59,257 --> 00:26:01,350
Or more wearied by him.
451
00:26:02,761 --> 00:26:04,524
You're not afraid?
452
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:10,000
Thomas...my brother's wife
is the King's mother.
453
00:26:10,068 --> 00:26:13,265
- He will not hear you?
- He says that William must be tried.
454
00:26:13,338 --> 00:26:16,603
- If the rest are found guilty.
- Oh, he has bad counsel.
455
00:26:17,375 --> 00:26:20,367
How can you let this be?
You're the Queen, the King's wife.
456
00:26:20,445 --> 00:26:23,209
- He will not listen.
- Oh, he will hear me.
457
00:26:23,281 --> 00:26:26,478
When we married, Thomas,
and when you and my son were wed,
458
00:26:26,551 --> 00:26:28,781
we joined the hands
of Lancaster and York -
459
00:26:28,853 --> 00:26:32,311
oh, first out of policy, but then in love.
460
00:26:32,390 --> 00:26:34,358
We are his family.
461
00:26:35,126 --> 00:26:38,562
- He must not use your brother in this way.
- I have implored him.
462
00:26:38,630 --> 00:26:41,064
And you, no doubt, have sighed.
463
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:44,698
But I...will tell him.
464
00:26:48,807 --> 00:26:51,605
Now...leave me, as he comes.
465
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,046
- Will you let me pass, Mother?
- My son...
466
00:27:00,118 --> 00:27:01,949
Mother, I am busy.
467
00:27:02,654 --> 00:27:04,849
Hanging your wife's people?
468
00:27:04,923 --> 00:27:06,823
I do nothing like.
469
00:27:06,891 --> 00:27:09,086
And my husband's brother.
470
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,185
You've heard about
Sir William Stanley, then?
471
00:27:11,262 --> 00:27:15,494
As who has not? He is mild
and inconsequential, if a little vain.
472
00:27:15,567 --> 00:27:19,003
- You cannot fear him.
- Nor rely on him.
473
00:27:19,070 --> 00:27:21,538
He's been loyal to you,
as have all the Stanleys.
474
00:27:21,606 --> 00:27:26,066
He has been grudging. Mother,
you've always told me that I am too lenient.
475
00:27:27,379 --> 00:27:30,405
What am I to do with a chamberlain
who plots with rebels?
476
00:27:32,484 --> 00:27:34,145
There is proof?
477
00:27:35,153 --> 00:27:37,986
- Some doubt.
- Then...give it him.
478
00:27:38,857 --> 00:27:42,224
If he but thinks treason,
there are others guiltier.
479
00:27:42,293 --> 00:27:44,955
More active, not guiltier.
480
00:27:46,264 --> 00:27:49,097
I shall not murder him, Mother.
He will face law.
481
00:27:50,335 --> 00:27:52,997
If Thomas or I could see Sir William
and speak with him...
482
00:27:53,071 --> 00:27:55,096
No, you'll not interfere.
483
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,673
- I've always helped you.
- Not always.
484
00:28:03,281 --> 00:28:05,374
I will send Morton to him.
485
00:28:05,450 --> 00:28:10,217
If he find any mood of loyalty in the man...
we'll think again.
486
00:28:18,997 --> 00:28:21,557
My Lord Chamberlain.
Are you comfortable?
487
00:28:22,333 --> 00:28:26,326
- In neither mind nor body.
- Yet you have some good things.
488
00:28:26,404 --> 00:28:28,872
Oh, oddments merely,
from my London rooms.
489
00:28:29,808 --> 00:28:33,300
- What a beautiful piece of silver.
- Ah, yes, that is German.
490
00:28:34,379 --> 00:28:37,405
You see on top of it,
Kronos is talking to Ares.
491
00:28:38,483 --> 00:28:40,007
Yes.
492
00:28:40,085 --> 00:28:42,383
And that piece there is new. It's English.
493
00:28:42,454 --> 00:28:43,648
Yes.
494
00:28:44,689 --> 00:28:47,783
- And er...this?
- Ah, from Flanders, yes.
495
00:28:47,859 --> 00:28:51,317
- Small but delicate, don't you think?
- It brightens a dull wall.
496
00:28:52,997 --> 00:28:55,261
Ah...an engraving.
497
00:28:57,302 --> 00:28:58,997
Unusually done.
498
00:28:59,070 --> 00:29:02,631
Yes, by a young man of the school
of Nuremberg. Hardly known as yet.
499
00:29:02,707 --> 00:29:04,868
Hm. Profane, but it has spirit.
500
00:29:06,077 --> 00:29:08,068
Our noble Lord, the King, has let me come.
501
00:29:08,146 --> 00:29:10,444
- To make an inventory?
- I am no bailiff.
502
00:29:10,515 --> 00:29:12,608
- You know what the King wants.
- Mm. My money.
503
00:29:12,684 --> 00:29:14,914
Ha. I hadn't thought of that.
504
00:29:16,254 --> 00:29:18,484
He wants good servants. Are you one?
505
00:29:18,556 --> 00:29:20,615
Unless it is proved otherwise.
506
00:29:20,692 --> 00:29:23,058
You, my Lord, were at Bosworth, too.
507
00:29:23,128 --> 00:29:26,359
- We were his first men.
- Some of us were earlier.
508
00:29:27,832 --> 00:29:29,663
- Have you writ to Warbeck?
- No.
509
00:29:29,734 --> 00:29:32,430
- Or shown him any partiality?
- Have you?
510
00:29:32,504 --> 00:29:34,836
I am not named, Sir William, but you are.
511
00:29:34,906 --> 00:29:37,101
By your intelligence,
that the King may beggar me.
512
00:29:37,175 --> 00:29:40,372
Could I but bring His Grace
some proof of your good course...
513
00:29:40,445 --> 00:29:42,811
- What proof can I give?
- ..the charge might be lessened.
514
00:29:42,881 --> 00:29:45,907
- And I might be robbed of less.
- Such is your life.
515
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,720
You and the King have put this on me
for the privy purse.
516
00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:54,053
You lose me, sir.
517
00:29:54,125 --> 00:29:56,923
Nor you nor he
can bear to see a man grow fat.
518
00:29:56,995 --> 00:30:00,761
All the nobility are mulct, merchants taxed,
gentlemen squeezed of feudal rights,
519
00:30:00,832 --> 00:30:04,996
and the royal treasure grows and grows
and makes hirelings of all of us!
520
00:30:05,069 --> 00:30:08,095
I have underpaid no dues,
evaded no redemption,
521
00:30:08,173 --> 00:30:10,698
but the King courses me
because I am rich.
522
00:30:10,775 --> 00:30:12,675
This is a hunt for sport
523
00:30:12,744 --> 00:30:16,680
but it is a contrivance
no judge will accept in public court.
524
00:30:16,748 --> 00:30:21,242
This case against me has no document
and is without any respected witness!
525
00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:24,379
- Do you blame the King?
- I blame your policy,
526
00:30:24,455 --> 00:30:28,255
my Most Reverend Grace.
This is a shearing to fleece another sheep,
527
00:30:28,326 --> 00:30:32,194
that you may have more money
for bribing spies to slander honest men!
528
00:30:33,631 --> 00:30:37,294
You are too windy, sir.
Huffing will not bring you home.
529
00:30:38,036 --> 00:30:40,834
But mercy may. And some humility.
530
00:30:40,905 --> 00:30:44,363
I am...not humble.
531
00:30:47,512 --> 00:30:49,480
Would you like your lady wife to visit you?
532
00:30:49,547 --> 00:30:51,447
She is not well.
She cannot cross the country.
533
00:30:51,516 --> 00:30:53,780
- Your children?
- If they are by. Since they have grown,
534
00:30:53,852 --> 00:30:55,843
- I have not seen much of them.
- It can be arranged.
535
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,549
No, spare your time. I'll go free to them,
though it cost me a fair fine.
536
00:30:59,624 --> 00:31:04,721
You and His Majesty may compute it
and I'll pay for my...innocence.
537
00:31:06,397 --> 00:31:08,297
I'll tell him so.
538
00:31:23,314 --> 00:31:24,508
You...
539
00:31:24,582 --> 00:31:26,345
- Sir William.
- Yes, Thomas?
540
00:31:26,417 --> 00:31:29,386
- I have brought his Lordship of Kildare...
- Thomas, not at this moment!
541
00:31:29,454 --> 00:31:33,356
- ..to cheer you, sir.
- Well, Stanley, we'll meet in the pound
542
00:31:33,424 --> 00:31:35,392
as we may in the stocks.
543
00:31:36,895 --> 00:31:39,625
- Is there not friendship among prisoners?
- I count my friends.
544
00:31:39,697 --> 00:31:41,631
- Well, count me.
- And mind my tongue.
545
00:31:43,468 --> 00:31:46,767
Oh, my Lord, you are welcome.
Do have some wine.
546
00:31:46,838 --> 00:31:48,396
Thomas.
547
00:31:50,208 --> 00:31:52,142
What do you see from here?
548
00:31:53,177 --> 00:31:55,577
Oh. (Chuckles ) Tower Hill.
549
00:31:57,615 --> 00:31:59,981
There's none but rooves from mine.
550
00:32:01,552 --> 00:32:03,281
This room's lighter.
551
00:32:05,423 --> 00:32:08,017
- Who's that who leaves?
- It is the cardinal.
552
00:32:08,092 --> 00:32:10,560
That creaking old man.
553
00:32:11,663 --> 00:32:14,598
- Is he your friend?
- No, he's a tax-collector.
554
00:32:14,666 --> 00:32:16,930
Did he not come to see you
about your soul?
555
00:32:17,001 --> 00:32:20,903
Hardly. I am in debt to Mammon
£3,000 a year.
556
00:32:20,972 --> 00:32:23,202
(Laughs ) That is a lot.
557
00:32:24,943 --> 00:32:26,706
- Sir?
- No, Thomas.
558
00:32:28,813 --> 00:32:31,281
You've a fine place, I hear,
on the Welsh border.
559
00:32:31,349 --> 00:32:34,079
The finest, warmest gentleman's house
in Denbighshire.
560
00:32:34,152 --> 00:32:36,120
Mm, not like this damn place.
561
00:32:36,921 --> 00:32:38,718
Smells of rotted flesh.
562
00:32:40,525 --> 00:32:42,959
- Why are you here?
- The King would replace me.
563
00:32:43,027 --> 00:32:44,426
Why are you?
564
00:32:45,897 --> 00:32:47,865
He has replaced me.
565
00:32:48,733 --> 00:32:51,258
The Irish parliament's attainted me.
566
00:32:51,336 --> 00:32:53,600
With the English bowmen
pointing arrows at them.
567
00:32:54,372 --> 00:32:56,806
They'll have me back.
He can't pen us long.
568
00:32:56,874 --> 00:33:00,241
They've penned Warwick here
these nine years and they'll do more.
569
00:33:00,311 --> 00:33:03,644
- The boy's defective from it.
- We'll make a king of him for all that.
570
00:33:03,715 --> 00:33:06,445
Or Warbeck. Or another. It matters little.
571
00:33:06,517 --> 00:33:08,314
- Thomas.
- Mm?
572
00:33:08,386 --> 00:33:11,651
Ah, no, let the lad stay.
There's too much silence.
573
00:33:12,390 --> 00:33:13,482
No, Thomas.
574
00:33:14,459 --> 00:33:16,950
When I saw Warbeck,
he seemed a likely lad.
575
00:33:17,862 --> 00:33:19,830
As good as the next
to sit through a ceremony.
576
00:33:21,766 --> 00:33:23,734
What word have you given him?
577
00:33:23,801 --> 00:33:27,635
Only that...if he be truly Edward's son
I'll not bear arms against him.
578
00:33:27,705 --> 00:33:30,674
- And if he's not, you'll keep your place?
- What else?
579
00:33:30,742 --> 00:33:34,269
- You play it both ways?
- Oh, my Lord, who does not? I am mortal.
580
00:33:37,215 --> 00:33:40,412
And I am master of Ireland or I am nothing.
581
00:33:41,652 --> 00:33:43,779
They'll have me back. I can wait.
582
00:33:44,522 --> 00:33:48,083
- Unless Henry murders me.
- Oh, murder is legal now, my Lord.
583
00:33:48,159 --> 00:33:50,855
They do it by jury and call it Tudor law.
584
00:33:50,928 --> 00:33:53,055
Why, then, did you declare for Henry?
585
00:33:53,131 --> 00:33:57,830
Because when he was young
he seemed pliable, modest,
586
00:33:57,902 --> 00:34:00,837
took direction, courted and flattered us.
587
00:34:00,905 --> 00:34:02,998
He came supplicant to me
the night before Bosworth
588
00:34:03,074 --> 00:34:06,908
and said he'd make me Earl of Chester
if I won his battle for him on the morrow.
589
00:34:06,978 --> 00:34:08,411
Promised me.
590
00:34:08,479 --> 00:34:12,347
And in the morning, when his troops were
stuck in the marshes, being massacred,
591
00:34:12,417 --> 00:34:16,820
I loosed my men, 3,000 of them, all
in red jackets with the white hart on 'em,
592
00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:19,618
and they ran over that field like blood.
593
00:34:19,690 --> 00:34:22,921
And when...Richard was killed
I seized the crown
594
00:34:22,994 --> 00:34:26,623
and I crowned this man
by the grace of God of England, Ireland...
595
00:34:26,697 --> 00:34:28,631
- I thought your brother did that.
- No, it was I.
596
00:34:28,699 --> 00:34:31,668
- You got no earldom.
- Chester, my Lord, is a county palatinate.
597
00:34:31,736 --> 00:34:33,465
It's a little kingdom.
598
00:34:33,538 --> 00:34:36,939
In the old days,
all great men of power were powers
599
00:34:37,008 --> 00:34:40,341
and the King was a mere center
round which the world revolved.
600
00:34:40,411 --> 00:34:42,140
Edward knew that.
601
00:34:42,213 --> 00:34:45,239
But this Tudor's a Lancastrian writ big,
602
00:34:45,316 --> 00:34:48,683
- a cuckoo that sits in our tree.
- Then we must mob him out.
603
00:34:48,753 --> 00:34:51,221
I've often thought of it,
but stayed my hand and...
604
00:34:53,024 --> 00:34:57,654
- now we've no power.
- Oh, good God, man, you're well placed.
605
00:34:57,728 --> 00:35:00,356
Your friends, relations, relatives.
606
00:35:00,431 --> 00:35:02,991
Followings in the court
and in the provinces.
607
00:35:03,067 --> 00:35:05,058
I did much more in Ireland
with less means.
608
00:35:05,136 --> 00:35:06,694
When I'm released.
609
00:35:08,806 --> 00:35:10,103
Oh...
610
00:35:11,142 --> 00:35:13,110
I...don't know.
611
00:35:14,178 --> 00:35:16,146
The chance may never come.
612
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:20,280
Oh...
613
00:35:21,419 --> 00:35:24,445
these...Welsh winters.
614
00:35:24,522 --> 00:35:28,049
All...English flowers die.
615
00:35:29,827 --> 00:35:34,287
Romance...and chivalry...are dead.
616
00:35:35,233 --> 00:35:39,863
Nibbled away...
by heretics and shepherds...
617
00:35:40,872 --> 00:35:42,806
and greedy kings.
618
00:35:44,609 --> 00:35:46,270
What has the court found?
619
00:35:47,078 --> 00:35:50,639
All who were tried were convicted
and will be sentenced to be hanged.
620
00:35:50,715 --> 00:35:52,683
The priests, as well.
621
00:35:52,750 --> 00:35:55,913
- Did they confess?
- All, save Robert Ratcliffe.
622
00:35:56,921 --> 00:36:00,482
The priests may wait pardon.
We'll not estrange the Church, Lord Cardinal.
623
00:36:00,558 --> 00:36:03,550
Thank you, sir.
I have seen Sir William Stanley.
624
00:36:03,628 --> 00:36:06,222
- And he says?
- He admits nothing.
625
00:36:06,297 --> 00:36:08,857
But would pay a fine to hold you off.
626
00:36:08,933 --> 00:36:10,730
He'd bribe us?
627
00:36:10,801 --> 00:36:13,497
We know he does connive
and would do more.
628
00:36:13,571 --> 00:36:16,404
- Did the confessions speak of him?
- No, Your Grace.
629
00:36:17,141 --> 00:36:19,371
- Nor letters found?
- No.
630
00:36:20,678 --> 00:36:22,407
- Then he must go free.
- But, my Lord...
631
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,472
- Your Grace expressly said...
- That he should stand trial.
632
00:36:25,550 --> 00:36:27,245
- If the rest were guilty.
- As they are.
633
00:36:27,318 --> 00:36:30,776
Is there less mercy in the mitre
than in the crown?
634
00:36:30,855 --> 00:36:33,847
- We've saved your priests.
- And I would save the kingdom.
635
00:36:34,725 --> 00:36:38,217
Faction's a luxury we must cut out.
If needs be, with a knife.
636
00:36:38,296 --> 00:36:41,265
This is a kinsman
and you have a poor case.
637
00:36:41,332 --> 00:36:45,393
Kildare was loosed to him,
and straight way he talked treason.
638
00:36:46,604 --> 00:36:48,231
May we believe this?
639
00:36:48,306 --> 00:36:50,638
I have it from Master Digby
and his proved witness, sir,
640
00:36:50,708 --> 00:36:52,676
that they do plot together.
641
00:36:52,743 --> 00:36:54,711
Stanley and Kildare?
642
00:36:57,348 --> 00:37:00,112
- Ireland and York.
- Two disaffected men.
643
00:37:04,722 --> 00:37:08,715
- Let Sir William Stanley have fair trial.
- By all his peers.
644
00:37:08,793 --> 00:37:11,125
We might as well throw him to the dogs.
645
00:37:13,264 --> 00:37:16,893
Still...he may persuade them.
646
00:37:19,170 --> 00:37:20,660
(Crowd shouting)
647
00:37:22,206 --> 00:37:23,696
(Booing)
648
00:37:28,145 --> 00:37:31,046
That's...Mountford up.
649
00:37:32,483 --> 00:37:34,451
- Ratcliffe beside him.
- (Cheering)
650
00:37:38,189 --> 00:37:40,157
And...Daubenay.
651
00:37:42,593 --> 00:37:44,584
There's no...fourth.
652
00:37:44,662 --> 00:37:45,959
(Cheering)
653
00:37:46,697 --> 00:37:50,133
- Why do they cheer?
- Young Thomas Astwood is pardoned.
654
00:37:51,035 --> 00:37:52,866
For his extreme youth.
655
00:37:52,937 --> 00:37:55,497
Oh, that's the er...
the boy that was your servant here.
656
00:37:55,573 --> 00:37:57,700
- It is.
- You remain, my Lord?
657
00:37:57,775 --> 00:37:59,208
Yes, Digby.
658
00:38:01,212 --> 00:38:05,205
It is not for...his youth
that Astwood is pardoned.
659
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:07,046
- No?
- No.
660
00:38:07,118 --> 00:38:09,018
I was guarded tongued until you came,
661
00:38:09,086 --> 00:38:11,782
but he was here when we talked
what might be called treason.
662
00:38:12,957 --> 00:38:17,018
I don't believe you.
We spoke in general, not particular.
663
00:38:17,094 --> 00:38:20,291
Any tapster may call the King a rogue
and keep his head if he's not specific.
664
00:38:20,364 --> 00:38:23,697
- Then why is Astwood saved?
- Well, Henry knows how to be popular.
665
00:38:23,768 --> 00:38:26,794
- You may succeed at Westminster.
- No. No.
666
00:38:26,871 --> 00:38:29,999
It'll go against me.
By the book, it's by now rehearsed.
667
00:38:30,074 --> 00:38:33,237
I...feel...some...
668
00:38:34,979 --> 00:38:36,037
doom.
669
00:38:43,154 --> 00:38:45,418
Take this to the Lord Chief Justice.
670
00:38:45,489 --> 00:38:47,218
For him privately.
671
00:38:49,527 --> 00:38:51,995
Where does his treachery lie...
672
00:38:53,164 --> 00:38:54,995
but in his mind?
673
00:38:57,101 --> 00:39:00,002
This bench, in the name of the King,
674
00:39:00,071 --> 00:39:04,735
does rule and deliver
that William Stanley, Knight,
675
00:39:04,809 --> 00:39:07,642
for the abominable and detestable treasons
676
00:39:07,712 --> 00:39:10,647
proven of him
against His Majesty in this realm
677
00:39:10,715 --> 00:39:15,209
shall of this court be convicted
and condemned of high treason
678
00:39:15,286 --> 00:39:18,312
and shall have and suffer pains of death,
679
00:39:18,389 --> 00:39:22,189
loss of goods, chattels, debts,
farms and all other things
680
00:39:22,259 --> 00:39:26,821
and be taken to a place of execution,
drawn and quartered
681
00:39:26,897 --> 00:39:30,196
in most convenient time and speed.
682
00:39:32,503 --> 00:39:34,471
I am not guilty.
683
00:39:55,226 --> 00:39:56,784
- Sir William.
- You have news?
684
00:39:56,861 --> 00:39:58,055
- Yes.
- From the King?
685
00:39:58,129 --> 00:40:00,154
- Yes.
- I am free.
686
00:40:00,231 --> 00:40:02,529
His Gracious Majesty, in his mercy,
687
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,830
commutes your sentence
from hanging and drawing
688
00:40:04,902 --> 00:40:06,870
to less painful execution.
689
00:40:10,207 --> 00:40:12,402
I...am to be beheaded.
690
00:40:12,476 --> 00:40:14,944
On Monday morning at 11,
here on Tower Hill.
691
00:40:15,813 --> 00:40:16,837
(Grunts )
692
00:40:19,316 --> 00:40:22,308
- No pardon?
- While you live, you've hope of that.
693
00:40:23,387 --> 00:40:26,220
There's a commission set
to inquire into your lands and possessions
694
00:40:26,290 --> 00:40:28,918
- and take charge of them.
- He'll not have them and my head.
695
00:40:28,993 --> 00:40:30,756
I do not know.
696
00:40:31,962 --> 00:40:33,020
You...
697
00:40:35,499 --> 00:40:37,660
There's a priest here to say Mass.
698
00:40:37,735 --> 00:40:38,861
He...
699
00:40:41,605 --> 00:40:43,436
Let him in.
700
00:40:48,112 --> 00:40:49,841
Your Reverence.
701
00:40:57,588 --> 00:40:59,783
In God's name, Sir William.
702
00:41:00,691 --> 00:41:02,158
Hussey.
703
00:41:03,327 --> 00:41:05,261
Oh...Hussey...
704
00:41:06,931 --> 00:41:08,899
I'm on the edge of the pit.
705
00:41:12,636 --> 00:41:17,664
I-I... Look, I think, er, for my short walk
on Monday I'll...I'll...wear these.
706
00:41:17,741 --> 00:41:20,471
This...cloak, this tunic and the belt of gold.
707
00:41:20,544 --> 00:41:21,670
Erm...
708
00:41:21,745 --> 00:41:24,839
These hose. They're new.
And...those shoes.
709
00:41:24,915 --> 00:41:29,045
And...this...cap of green velvet
with the white hart on it.
710
00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:32,452
D'you think...erm... I will dress suitably.
711
00:41:32,523 --> 00:41:34,354
It will pass the time for you.
712
00:41:34,425 --> 00:41:37,883
I shall be pardoned, of course,
on Tower Hill. Others have been.
713
00:41:38,696 --> 00:41:40,687
- I hope you may.
- If not before.
714
00:41:40,764 --> 00:41:44,097
I have powerful friends
and I'm...paving other ways, oh yes.
715
00:41:44,168 --> 00:41:46,568
Yes. I'm quite sure.
716
00:41:48,439 --> 00:41:51,408
- When does Warbeck come?
- That is not yet known.
717
00:41:51,475 --> 00:41:53,443
But there is another plan, if that miscarries.
718
00:41:53,511 --> 00:41:55,172
I will not plot now.
719
00:41:55,246 --> 00:41:58,909
Certain gentlemen traveling in Rome
have met an astrologer
720
00:41:58,983 --> 00:42:01,110
who can kill the King.
721
00:42:02,219 --> 00:42:04,585
But this man wants more money
than they can pay.
722
00:42:04,655 --> 00:42:06,714
- If you would give...
- I will not conspire now.
723
00:42:06,790 --> 00:42:09,020
..a jewel, a...ring, perhaps.
724
00:42:09,093 --> 00:42:11,459
Oh...are we brought to this,
725
00:42:11,529 --> 00:42:14,794
to behold superstition like a sword
and think it potent?
726
00:42:14,865 --> 00:42:16,526
We are modern men.
727
00:42:18,569 --> 00:42:21,265
I have...been...loyal...
728
00:42:22,740 --> 00:42:26,369
in deed...to the King.
729
00:42:28,212 --> 00:42:30,009
Till now.
730
00:42:32,349 --> 00:42:34,317
The Church may have it.
731
00:42:34,385 --> 00:42:36,945
Let God and men do what they will.
732
00:42:38,088 --> 00:42:39,715
And now I will confess you.
733
00:42:39,790 --> 00:42:43,248
Oh...I've not sinned much
since we last met.
734
00:42:43,327 --> 00:42:46,319
- There's little occasion here.
- No sinful thoughts?
735
00:42:46,397 --> 00:42:48,456
Is thinking a sin?
736
00:42:48,532 --> 00:42:51,330
In the head lies all...the future...
737
00:42:52,236 --> 00:42:54,796
and the salvation...of men.
738
00:42:56,307 --> 00:42:58,434
And to have it lopped off seems to me
739
00:42:58,509 --> 00:43:00,670
an...old blasphemy
740
00:43:00,744 --> 00:43:05,204
I hoped we had grown...out of.
741
00:43:06,116 --> 00:43:10,576
Do they cut... Of course they cut
above the collar of your coat.
742
00:43:10,654 --> 00:43:13,214
It would spoil the cloth, else.
I've never looked closely.
743
00:43:13,290 --> 00:43:15,554
The King will forgive you.
He has made his point.
744
00:43:17,061 --> 00:43:18,892
Yes. Yes, of course he will.
745
00:43:21,465 --> 00:43:26,061
(Exhales deeply) If word comes not
before I...reach the scaffold,
746
00:43:26,136 --> 00:43:28,161
I'll wear my gold belt.
747
00:43:28,238 --> 00:43:33,232
And then, when the pardon is made...
I'll give you that for the Church...
748
00:43:34,645 --> 00:43:36,613
in thanksgiving.
749
00:43:38,549 --> 00:43:40,983
- You'll be there.
- I will.
750
00:43:42,386 --> 00:43:43,853
My Lord?
751
00:43:46,557 --> 00:43:49,390
- You grieve for something?
- I'll not be weak.
752
00:43:51,762 --> 00:43:53,423
What hour is it?
753
00:43:53,497 --> 00:43:55,192
It is nearly 11.
754
00:43:55,265 --> 00:43:57,233
I wish it were noon.
755
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,207
- Word from the King?
- No.
756
00:44:04,274 --> 00:44:06,242
(Distant crowd shouting)
757
00:44:26,997 --> 00:44:28,965
- You are waited on.
- Aye.
758
00:44:29,033 --> 00:44:30,898
I... My er...
759
00:44:30,968 --> 00:44:33,528
My chain. Er... Er...
760
00:44:33,604 --> 00:44:34,798
My...
761
00:44:37,207 --> 00:44:39,072
My gold belt. My...
762
00:44:41,278 --> 00:44:43,746
gold belt. My... My chain.
763
00:44:43,814 --> 00:44:45,111
Erm...
764
00:44:48,118 --> 00:44:51,178
Oh. Where... Where...
Where are my shoes?
765
00:44:52,256 --> 00:44:53,951
Er...and my chain.
766
00:44:54,024 --> 00:44:56,424
Where is my chain? Someone has taken it.
767
00:44:56,493 --> 00:44:58,461
- You must come.
- I cannot come!
768
00:44:59,196 --> 00:45:00,891
I...am...
769
00:45:02,533 --> 00:45:03,761
not...
770
00:45:05,536 --> 00:45:06,969
ready.
771
00:45:10,941 --> 00:45:12,306
There.
772
00:45:13,010 --> 00:45:14,375
Do I...
773
00:45:15,112 --> 00:45:17,546
- Am I right?
- You look well, Sir William.
774
00:45:21,985 --> 00:45:24,078
- If only I could...
- Their Lordships wait.
775
00:45:38,702 --> 00:45:41,899
Oh, it...is too bad.
776
00:45:49,313 --> 00:45:50,610
I...
777
00:45:52,249 --> 00:45:53,546
I...
778
00:45:54,485 --> 00:45:56,453
will have dignity.
779
00:46:11,335 --> 00:46:15,431
Gentlemen...what word from the King?
780
00:46:15,506 --> 00:46:17,906
There's none, Sir William.
781
00:46:26,617 --> 00:46:28,585
Will you not kneel?
782
00:46:42,299 --> 00:46:44,767
I am not...ready.
783
00:46:47,004 --> 00:46:49,905
My...mind...
784
00:46:51,809 --> 00:46:53,777
is not dressed to meet...
785
00:46:55,712 --> 00:46:57,009
death.
786
00:46:58,448 --> 00:47:01,110
We can see from here, my Lord.
We are in time.
787
00:47:09,893 --> 00:47:11,588
I'll not look.
788
00:47:12,996 --> 00:47:14,554
Now, I think.
789
00:47:14,631 --> 00:47:16,496
- (Cheering)
- Oh...
790
00:47:23,140 --> 00:47:24,835
Is it done?
791
00:47:25,576 --> 00:47:26,873
Yes.
792
00:47:32,015 --> 00:47:36,782
This room's as swiftly vacant as
he who's gone from it by the King's will.
793
00:47:40,090 --> 00:47:42,388
Your Lordship may stay in the good light.
794
00:47:58,442 --> 00:48:00,239
May God bless you.64693
