00:01:31To begin a story made up of kings and cardinals
00:01:35With me
00:01:38If a king or a cardinal had done the prologue
00:01:43He'd have had the right materials
00:01:44Look at this
00:01:45Is this a costume?
00:01:49Does this say anything?
00:01:52Barely covers one man's nakedness
00:01:54Bit of black material that reduces
00:01:56Old Adam to the common man
00:01:58If they'd let me come on naked
00:02:01I'd have shown you something of my own
00:02:04But for a proposition of my own
00:02:07I need a costume
00:02:08Matthew
00:02:12The household steward
00:02:14To Sir Thomas More
00:02:16There's company for dinner
00:02:19All right
00:02:21Common man
00:02:23Sixteenth century butler
00:02:27All right
00:02:33This
00:02:34The sixteenth century was
00:02:41The century of the common man
00:02:43Like all the other centuries
00:02:45And that's my proposition
00:02:47The wine please Matthew
00:02:49And that's Sir Thomas More
00:02:51It's there Sir Thomas
00:02:53Is it good?
00:02:56Bless you sir
00:02:57I don't know
00:02:57Bless you too Matthew
00:02:59But every man has his price
00:03:01No no no
00:03:03Master Richard rich
00:03:04Yes in money too
00:03:05No no
00:03:06Or pleasure
00:03:07No
00:03:08Titles
00:03:09Women
00:03:09Bricks and mortar
00:03:10There's always something
00:03:11Childish
00:03:12Well in suffering certainly
00:03:13By a man with suffering
00:03:16No
00:03:16Impose suffering
00:03:17And offer him escape
00:03:18Oh
00:03:19For a moment I thought
00:03:21You were being profound
00:03:22Not a bit profound
00:03:23It then becomes a purely
00:03:24Practical question
00:03:25Of how to make him
00:03:26Suffer sufficiently
00:03:27And who recommended you
00:03:29To read Signor Machiavelli
00:03:31No no
00:03:32Who
00:03:33Master Cromwell
00:03:35He's a very able man
00:03:36So he is
00:03:37Yes I say he is
00:03:38He's very able
00:03:38And he said that
00:03:39He'll do something for me
00:03:40I didn't know you knew him
00:03:42Pardon me sir Thomas
00:03:43But how much do you know about me
00:03:44Whatever you let me know
00:03:46I've let you know everything
00:03:48Richard
00:03:49You should go back to Cambridge
00:03:50You're deteriorating
00:03:52Well I'm not used
00:03:53Do you know how much
00:03:54I have to show
00:03:55For seven months work
00:03:56Work
00:03:57Yes work
00:03:58Waiting is work
00:03:59When you wait as I wait
00:04:00Hard
00:04:01The dean of St Paul's
00:04:03Has a post
00:04:04With a house
00:04:05A servant
00:04:05And fifty pounds a year
00:04:07What
00:04:07What post
00:04:08At the new school
00:04:09A teacher
00:04:10Oh a man should go
00:04:11Where he won't be tempted
00:04:12Richard
00:04:13Here
00:04:14Here look
00:04:15See this
00:04:17Richard
00:04:17It's beautiful
00:04:20Italian silver
00:04:21Do you want it
00:04:22What
00:04:23No joke
00:04:23Keep it
00:04:24Or sell it
00:04:25Why thank you
00:04:26Thank you of course
00:04:27You'll sell it won't you
00:04:29Yes
00:04:31Yes I will
00:04:32And buy what
00:04:33Some decent clothes
00:04:35I want a gown
00:04:36I want a gown like yours
00:04:37You'll get several gowns
00:04:39For that I should think
00:04:40Sent to me a little while ago
00:04:42By some woman
00:04:43Now she's put a lawsuit
00:04:44Into the court of request
00:04:46It's a bribe Richard
00:04:48Oh so you give it away of course
00:04:50Yes
00:04:51To me
00:04:51Well I'm not going to keep it
00:04:54And you need it of course
00:04:55If you feel it's contaminated
00:04:56No no no no no
00:04:57I'll risk it
00:04:59But Richard
00:05:00This is nothing
00:05:01In office they offer you
00:05:03All sorts of things
00:05:04I was once offered a whole village
00:05:05Yes with a manor house
00:05:07I don't know what else
00:05:08Why not be a teacher
00:05:10You'd be a fine teacher
00:05:12Perhaps even a great one
00:05:13And if I was
00:05:13Who would know it
00:05:14You
00:05:14Your pupils
00:05:15Your friends
00:05:16God
00:05:17Not a bad public that
00:05:18And a quiet life
00:05:20You say that
00:05:21Richard
00:05:22I was commanded into office
00:05:24It was inflicted on me
00:05:26Can't you believe that
00:05:27It's hard
00:05:28Be a teacher
00:05:30Come with me
00:05:30I'll come with me
00:05:31It was magnificent
00:05:33The Duke of Norfolk
00:05:35Earl Marshal of England
00:05:36I tell you
00:05:36That falcon
00:05:37Stooped from the clouds
00:05:39Alice
00:05:41Here
00:05:42Lady Alice
00:05:43My master's wife
00:05:44I tell you
00:05:45He stooped
00:05:47Oh
00:05:47He didn't
00:05:48God damn it
00:05:49He did
00:05:49Oh he couldn't
00:05:50He does
00:05:50Not possible
00:05:51Never
00:05:52My soul
00:05:54Oh thank you
00:05:55Thomas
00:05:56Come down there
00:05:57Lady Margaret
00:05:59My master's daughter
00:06:00Lovely
00:06:00Really lovely
00:06:00Matthew
00:06:01Get about your business
00:06:02We settle this
00:06:03Will over put it
00:06:03To Thomas
00:06:04Thomas
00:06:04No falcon could stoop from a cloud
00:06:06Could it
00:06:06I don't know my dear
00:06:07It does seem unlikely
00:06:08I have seen falcons
00:06:10Do some very splendid things
00:06:12Oh but how could he stoop from a cloud
00:06:13Oh he couldn't see where he was going
00:06:15Oh see Alice
00:06:16You're ignorant to the subject
00:06:18To real falcon
00:06:18Don't care where he's going
00:06:20In any case
00:06:22I'm talking to Meg
00:06:23It was the very first cast of the day
00:06:28Meg
00:06:29Some was behind us
00:06:30And from side to side of the valley
00:06:31Like the roof of a tent
00:06:34It was solid mist
00:06:35Ah mist
00:06:37Mist is cloud isn't it
00:06:39No
00:06:39The opinion of Aristotle
00:06:41Is that mist is an exhalation of the earth
00:06:43Whereas clouds
00:06:44He stooped 500 feet
00:06:46Like that
00:06:48Like an act of God
00:06:49Isn't he Thomas
00:06:50He's tremendous
00:06:51Tremendous
00:06:52Did he kill the heron
00:06:54Oh the heron was clever
00:06:56It was a royal stoop though
00:06:58And if you could ride Alice
00:07:00I'd show you
00:07:01I can ride my lord
00:07:02Alice
00:07:03Oh and I'll bet 25
00:07:05No
00:07:0530 shilling
00:07:06I see no falcon stoop from no cloud
00:07:08Oh done done
00:07:09Alice
00:07:10You can't ride with them
00:07:11God's body old Thomas
00:07:13Remember who you are
00:07:14I'm no city wife
00:07:15No
00:07:15You've just lost yourself 30 shillings
00:07:17I should think
00:07:18There are such birds
00:07:19What was that of Aristotle's Richard?
00:07:22Oh nothing Sir Thomas
00:07:23It was out of place
00:07:23I never find much use in Aristotle
00:07:26Almost not practically
00:07:27Oh great philosopher
00:07:29Of course wonderful mind
00:07:30Exactly your grace
00:07:31Hmm
00:07:32Our master rich is newly converted
00:07:34To the doctrines of Machiavelli
00:07:36Oh no
00:07:37Oh the italian
00:07:38Nasty book from what I hear
00:07:40Very practical your grace
00:07:42You read it?
00:07:44Amazing girl Thomas
00:07:46The doctrines of Machiavelli
00:07:47Have been largely misunderstood I think
00:07:49Properly apprehended
00:07:50He has no doctrine
00:07:51But master Cromwell
00:07:52Has the sense of it I believe
00:07:54You know Cromwell?
00:07:56Slightly of this
00:07:57The cardinal's new secretary
00:07:59Cardinal?
00:08:01It's a fact
00:08:02Where?
00:08:03Two, three days
00:08:03Ah I'll be up quick and down quick
00:08:05With master Cromwell
00:08:06Did you uh know this?
00:08:09No
00:08:09You like master Cromwell
00:08:11Master Rich?
00:08:12He'll be the only man in London
00:08:13If he does
00:08:14I think I do lady Alice
00:08:16Good
00:08:16Well you don't need my help then
00:08:19Sir Thomas if only you knew
00:08:20How much much rather
00:08:21I'd have yours than his
00:08:22Speak of the cardinal's secretary
00:08:25The cardinal appears
00:08:26He wants me
00:08:27Now
00:08:28Well this time of night
00:08:29The king's business
00:08:30And Bullen's business
00:08:32More than likely Alice
00:08:33More than likely
00:08:34What's the time?
00:08:35Eleven o'clock sir
00:08:35Is there a boat?
00:08:36Waiting sir
00:08:37Well if your grace will excuse me
00:08:39Richard
00:08:39Uh no
00:08:40You'll go to bed
00:08:41And you'll go to bed
00:08:43Dear lord
00:08:47Give us rest this night
00:08:49Or we must be wakeful
00:08:50Cheerful
00:08:51Careful only
00:08:52For our soul's salvation
00:08:53For Christ's sake
00:08:55Amen
00:08:55And bless our lord the king
00:08:58And bless our lord the king
00:09:01Amen
00:09:02Howard
00:09:03Are you at Richmond?
00:09:05Oh no
00:09:05Down the river
00:09:06Well goodnight then
00:09:08Oh here's a young man
00:09:10Besprit for employment
00:09:11Something in the clerical line
00:09:13You recommend him?
00:09:17I don't recommend him
00:09:18I point him out
00:09:19He's at the new inn
00:09:20Can you take him there?
00:09:23All right
00:09:24Come on
00:09:25Oh my lord
00:09:26I'm so glad
00:09:27Hounslow Alice
00:09:28Wherever you like
00:09:29Alice
00:09:30The ground's hard at Hounslow
00:09:32Aye
00:09:32That's where the cardinal
00:09:34Crushed his bum
00:09:35Goodnight
00:09:38Sir Thomas
00:09:41Thank you
00:09:42Be a teacher
00:09:43Margaret
00:09:47Yes
00:09:49Go to bed
00:09:51Hey
00:09:57Oh it's a gift Matthew
00:09:59Sir Thomas gave it to me
00:10:00He gave it to me
00:10:02Very nice present sir
00:10:04Yes
00:10:05Well goodnight Matthew
00:10:06Sir Thomas is very fond of you sir
00:10:08Oh
00:10:09Here you are Matthew
00:10:12Oh thank you sir
00:10:14That one I've come to nothing
00:10:18My master Sir Thomas More
00:10:21Would give anything to anyone
00:10:22Some say that's good
00:10:24Some say that's bad
00:10:25I say he can't help it
00:10:27And that's bad
00:10:28Because someday
00:10:28Someone will ask him
00:10:29For something he wants to keep
00:10:30Only he'll be out of practice
00:10:32Must be something he wants to keep
00:10:36It's only common sense
00:10:37That one's good
00:10:41All right
00:10:50That's yourア 다들
00:10:50Yeah
00:10:50It's called
00:10:51You know
00:10:52We're there
00:10:52They're up to Mark
00:10:53You know
00:10:53Yeah
00:10:54The dollar
00:10:55You know
00:10:56That's what i just lay
00:10:56There's fire
00:10:57There's a sir
00:10:57Yeah
00:10:57There first
00:10:58And again
00:10:59Into the darkness
00:11:00And for something he wants to do
00:11:00much
00:11:01We're there
00:11:01When the Meghan
00:11:01You know
00:11:01I'm okay
00:11:02We're there
00:11:03That's a sign for real
00:11:33Thank you, Chairman.
00:12:03It's half past one.
00:12:13Where have you been?
00:12:15One o'clock, Your Grace.
00:12:16I've been on the river.
00:12:19Since you seem so violently opposed to this dispatch for Rome,
00:12:24I thought you'd like to look it over.
00:12:26Thank you, Your Grace.
00:12:28Before it goes.
00:12:34Your Grace is very kind.
00:12:44Well, what do you think of it?
00:12:46It seems very well phrased, Your Grace.
00:12:49The devil it does.
00:12:54And apart from the style, Sir Thomas...
00:12:57I still think the Council should be told before this goes to Italy.
00:13:02Would you tell them?
00:13:02Yes, I believe you would.
00:13:08You're a constant regret to me, Thomas.
00:13:12If you'd only look facts flat on without that horrible moral squint.
00:13:17With just a little common sense, you could be a statesman.
00:13:21Your Grace flatters me.
00:13:22Don't frivol.
00:13:22Are you going to help me?
00:13:26If Your Grace will be specific.
00:13:29You're a plodder.
00:13:31Take you all together, Thomas.
00:13:32Your scholarship, your experience.
00:13:34What are you?
00:13:50Come here.
00:13:50The king.
00:13:54Where's he been?
00:13:55Do you know?
00:13:57Aye, Your Grace.
00:13:58Oh, spare me your discretion.
00:14:00He's been out playing in the mud again.
00:14:02With a bull in the winch.
00:14:04Indeed.
00:14:04Indeed, indeed.
00:14:06Are you going to oppose me?
00:14:13He's gone in.
00:14:16All right, we'll plod.
00:14:18The king wants a son.
00:14:19What are you going to do about it?
00:14:21I'm very sure the king needs no advice from me on what to do about it.
00:14:24Oh.
00:14:26Sit down.
00:14:31Do you favor a change of dynasty, Thomas?
00:14:34Do you think two Tudors are sufficient?
00:14:37For God's sake, Your Grace.
00:14:39Then the king needs a son.
00:14:41I repeat, what are you going to do about it?
00:14:44I pray for it daily.
00:14:46God's death, he means it.
00:14:48That thing out there is at least fertile, Thomas.
00:14:52But she's not his wife.
00:14:54No.
00:14:54Catherine's his wife.
00:14:55She's as barren as a brick.
00:14:58Are you going to pray for a miracle?
00:15:01There are precedents.
00:15:03Yes.
00:15:04All right.
00:15:04Good.
00:15:05Pray.
00:15:06Pray by all means.
00:15:08But in addition to prayer, there is effort.
00:15:10My effort is to secure a divorce.
00:15:14Have I your support or have I not?
00:15:19A dispensation was granted so that the king might marry Queen Catherine.
00:15:24Now we are to ask the Pope to dispense with his dispensation?
00:15:28I don't like plotting, Thomas.
00:15:32Clearly all we have to do is approach his holiness and ask him.
00:15:34I think we might perhaps influence his answer.
00:15:40Like this?
00:15:41Like that.
00:15:42And in other ways.
00:15:44I've already expressed my opinion of this.
00:15:47Then good night.
00:15:50Oh, your conscience is your own affair, Thomas.
00:15:54But you're a statesman.
00:15:55Do you remember the Yorkist wars?
00:15:58Very clearly.
00:16:00Let him die without an heir and we'll have them back again.
00:16:03Let him die without an heir and this peace you think so much of will go out.
00:16:08Like that.
00:16:11Very well, then.
00:16:13England needs an heir.
00:16:15Certain measures.
00:16:17Perhaps regrettable.
00:16:19Perhaps not.
00:16:20There are many things in the church that need reformation, Thomas.
00:16:24All right.
00:16:25Regrettable, but necessary to get us an heir.
00:16:28Now explain how you, as Councillor of England,
00:16:31can obstruct those measures for the sake of your own private conscience.
00:16:38Well, I believe when a statesman forsakes his own private conscience
00:16:43for the sake of his public duty,
00:16:46he leads his country by a short route to chaos.
00:16:49Then we shall have my prayers to fall back on.
00:16:56You'd like that, wouldn't you?
00:16:58To govern the country by prayer.
00:17:01Yes, I would.
00:17:02I'd like to be here to see you try it.
00:17:05Who will?
00:17:07Who will put his neck in this?
00:17:09After me, you, Fisher, Suffolk?
00:17:17Fisher for me.
00:17:18Aye, but for the king.
00:17:20How about my secretary, Master Cromwell?
00:17:23Cromwell?
00:17:23You'd rather do it yourself.
00:17:25Me rather than Cromwell?
00:17:27Then come down to earth, Thomas.
00:17:29Thomas.
00:17:29But until you do, bear in mind you have an enemy.
00:17:39Where, Your Grace?
00:17:42Here, Thomas.
00:17:46As Your Grace pleases.
00:17:48As God wills.
00:17:50Perhaps, Your Grace.
00:17:52Thomas Moore,
00:17:54you should have been a cleric.
00:17:56like yourself, Your Grace.
00:18:15Sir Thomas Moore.
00:18:17Senor Chapuis,
00:18:18you're up very late, Your Excellency.
00:18:20So is the cardinal, Sir Thomas.
00:18:22He sleeps very little.
00:18:23You have just left him, I think.
00:18:24You are correctly informed, as always.
00:18:27I will not ask you the subject of your conversation.
00:18:30No, of course not.
00:18:31Sir Thomas, I will be playing with you.
00:18:33Well, playing so far as diplomacy permits.
00:18:36My master, Charles, King of Spain,
00:18:38feels himself concerned about his father's sister,
00:18:42Queen Catherine, King Henry's lawful wife.
00:18:44Now, should she be insulted,
00:18:46the King of Spain would feel himself insulted.
00:18:48His feeling would be natural.
00:18:52Sir Thomas, may I ask,
00:18:54if you and the cardinal parted,
00:18:56um, well, how shall I say, amicably?
00:18:59Amicably, yes.
00:19:00What, in agreement?
00:19:01Amicably.
00:19:02Ah, saying no more, Sir Thomas.
00:19:04I understand.
00:19:05I hope you do, Your Excellency.
00:19:07You are a good man.
00:19:08I don't see how you deduce that
00:19:10from what I've just told you.
00:19:12I understand.
00:19:14You are a good man.
00:19:16Dominus for Biscum.
00:19:18Spiritus 2o.
00:19:19Boat?
00:19:45Boatman?
00:19:48Boatman?
00:19:48Boatman, please.
00:19:53Boat here, Sir.
00:19:54Boatman?
00:19:55Yes, Sir.
00:19:57Boatman.
00:20:00Take me home.
00:20:01I was just going to hurt myself, Sir.
00:20:03Then find me another boat.
00:20:05Bless you, Sir.
00:20:05That's all right.
00:20:06I expect you'll, uh,
00:20:07make it worth my while.
00:20:10Boatman?
00:20:11Have you a license?
00:20:13Bless you, Sir.
00:20:13Yes, I've got a license.
00:20:14Then you know the fares are fixed.
00:20:19Oh, why, it's Sir Thomas.
00:20:22Good evening, Master Cromwell.
00:20:24You, uh, work very late.
00:20:26I'm on my way to the Cardinal.
00:20:28Uh, you've just left him, I think.
00:20:31Yes, I have.
00:20:32You left him in his laughing mood, I hope.
00:20:34From the whole, I would say not.
00:20:36No, I'm not laughing.
00:20:37I'm sorry.
00:20:41I'm one of your multitudinous admirers, Sir Thomas.
00:20:49Penny hapenny to Chelsea, Boatman.
00:20:51The, uh, coming man, they say, Sir.
00:20:58Do they?
00:20:59People like that think the boats stay afloat on their own, Sir.
00:21:02But they don't.
00:21:03They cost money.
00:21:04Take anchor rope.
00:21:05You may not believe me, for a little skiff like mine,
00:21:07it's a penny a fathom.
00:21:08And what with a young wife, as you know, Sir.
00:21:11I'll pay you what I always pay you.
00:21:13How is your wife?
00:21:15Losing her shake, Sir.
00:21:16Losing it fast.
00:21:17So are we all?
00:21:18Oh, yes.
00:21:19Coming.
00:21:19Take me on.
00:21:22That I will, sir.
00:21:24From Richmond to Chelsea, Penny hapenny.
00:21:26From Chelsea to Richmond, Penny hapenny.
00:21:29From Richmond to Chelsea, it's an easy float downstream.
00:21:33From Chelsea to Richmond, it's a hard pull upstream.
00:21:36And it's a penny apenny either way.
00:21:38Whoever makes the regulations doesn't throw a boat.
00:21:49Good morning, Matthew.
00:22:00Good morning, Sir.
00:22:01Good morning, William.
00:22:10Good morning, William.
00:22:12You're a little early for breakfast.
00:22:26I haven't come for breakfast, sir.
00:22:30Will wants to marry me, Father.
00:22:33Well, he can't marry you.
00:22:34Sir Thomas, I'm to be called to the bar.
00:22:36Oh, congratulations, Robert.
00:22:38My family may not be at the palace, sir, but in the city...
00:22:41Oh, there's nothing wrong with your family.
00:22:43There's nothing wrong with your fortune.
00:22:44There's nothing wrong with you, except you need a clock.
00:22:47I can buy a clock, sir.
00:22:49Rupert, the answer is no, and it will be no, so long as you're a heretic.
00:22:53That's a...
00:22:54That's a word I don't like, Sir Thomas.
00:22:56Not a likable word.
00:22:58It's not a likable thing.
00:22:59The church is heretical.
00:23:00Dr. Luther's proved that to my satisfaction.
00:23:02There is an excommunity.
00:23:03From a heretic church.
00:23:05Church?
00:23:06Huh.
00:23:07It's a shop.
00:23:09Forgiveness by the Florin.
00:23:10Job lots now in Germany.
00:23:13And divorces.
00:23:16Divorces.
00:23:17Oh, half England's buzzing with that.
00:23:19Half England.
00:23:20The inns of court may be buzzing.
00:23:22England doesn't buzz so easily.
00:23:23It will.
00:23:24And is that a church?
00:23:26Is that a cardinal?
00:23:27Is that a pope?
00:23:28Or antichrist?
00:23:30Will.
00:23:31Look.
00:23:32What I know, I'll say...
00:23:33You have no sense of a place.
00:23:34You have no sense of a time.
00:23:36I have...
00:23:37Rupert, two years ago, you were a passionate churchman.
00:23:41Now you're a passionate Lutheran.
00:23:43We must just pray when your head's finished turning,
00:23:45your face will be to the front again.
00:23:47Don't lengthen your prayers with me, sir.
00:23:49Oh, one more or less.
00:23:51Is your horse here?
00:23:53No, I won't.
00:23:54Well, take a horse from the staples and get back home.
00:23:57Go along.
00:23:59May I come again?
00:24:00Oh.
00:24:01Oh, yes.
00:24:03Soon.
00:24:04Good night, sir.
00:24:06Good morning, Will.
00:24:12Oh, is that fine, old father?
00:24:14So long as he's a heretic, Meg, that is absolute.
00:24:16Oh, he's a nice boy.
00:24:19Terribly strong principles, though.
00:24:23I thought I told you to go to bed.
00:24:24Yes.
00:24:25Why?
00:24:26Because I intended you to go to bed.
00:24:28Oh, you're very pensive.
00:24:30You're very gay.
00:24:33Did the cardinal talk about the divorce?
00:24:36You know, I think we've been in the wrong track with Will.
00:24:39It's no good arguing with Rupert.
00:24:40Father, did he?
00:24:41Old Rupert was just the same.
00:24:43I'll let him think he's going with the current.
00:24:45He'll turn right round and start swimming in the opposite direction.
00:24:48What we need is a really substantial attack in the church.
00:24:52We're going to get it, aren't we?
00:24:53I won't have you talk treason, Meg.
00:24:56I won't have you repeat lawyer's gossip, either.
00:24:58I'm a lawyer myself.
00:24:59I know what it's worth.
00:25:01Thomas!
00:25:02Now, look what you've done.
00:25:03I've just seen that young Rupert on my horse.
00:25:06Never mind, dear.
00:25:07He'll bring it back.
00:25:08He's been to see Margaret.
00:25:10Oh, why don't you beat that girl?
00:25:12Oh, no, she's full of education.
00:25:14It's a delicate commodity.
00:25:15Hmm, and more's a pity.
00:25:16Yes, but it's in there now, and think what it costs.
00:25:19It's...
00:25:20Ah!
00:25:21Margaret, get some hot water.
00:25:23Oh, I'm sorry you were waking.
00:25:25Thomas, what did Woolsey want?
00:25:28Young Ruper asked me for Margaret.
00:25:31Oh, what impedance?
00:25:32Yes, wasn't it?
00:25:33Oh, you old fox.
00:25:35What did Woolsey want, Thomas?
00:25:37He wanted me to read a dispatch.
00:25:40Is that all?
00:25:41The Latin dispatch.
00:25:43Oh, so you don't want to talk about it?
00:25:45No.
00:25:45Norfolk was talking of you for Chancellor.
00:25:48He's a dangerous friend, then.
00:25:50Woolsey's Chancellor can't help him.
00:25:52We don't need another.
00:25:53I don't need this.
00:25:54Oh, you'll drink it.
00:25:55Great men get colds in the head just the same as commoners.
00:25:58That's dangerous levelling talk, Alice.
00:26:00Beware of the tower.
00:26:01You'll drink it.
00:26:02I will, I will.
00:26:03I'll drink it in bed.
00:26:04Would you want to be Chancellor?
00:26:05No.
00:26:06That's what I said.
00:26:07But Norfolk said if Woolsey fell, the king...
00:26:10If Woolsey fell, the splash would swamp a few small boats like ours.
00:26:14There will be no new chancellors while Woolsey lives.
00:26:17Well, let's go.
00:26:47England's next Lord Chancellor was Sir Thomas More, a scholar and, by popular repute, a saint.
00:26:58His scholarship is supported by his writings.
00:27:01Saintliness is a quality less easy to establish.
00:27:05But from his willful indifference to realities, which were obvious to quite ordinary contemporaries,
00:27:10it seems all too probable that he had it.
00:27:17Great PLUS
00:27:26More kuin
00:27:36Theコよろしく
00:27:41If you need to beifornia, then you'll follow me on that day.
00:27:41rich oh what brings you to hampton i uh came with the duke of norfolk last night master crumball
00:27:55they're hunting again oh it's a kingly pastime master rich i'm glad you found employment you're
00:28:02the uh the duke secretary are you not my work is mostly secretarial yes or is it his librarian
00:28:08you are well i do look after his grace's library yes oh well that's something i don't suppose you're
00:28:17bothered much by his grace in the library you know it's odd how differently men's fortunes flow
00:28:27my late master the cardinal died in disgrace and here i am in the king's own service and
00:28:33there you are in a comparative backwater and yet the new lord chancellor is an old friend of yours
00:28:41he isn't really my friend oh i thought he was in a sense he always understood he set you up in life
00:28:48he recommended me to the duke are you are you very attached to his grace's library or are you free
00:28:56to accept an office have you offices in gift i am listened to by those that have master crumball
00:29:03what is it that you do for the king
00:29:04yes i should like to know that master crumball ah senior chapui you know his excellency rich the
00:29:13spanish ambassador the duke of norfolk's librarian
00:29:17but how should we introduce you uh master crumball if we had the happiness oh sly do you notice how
00:29:26sly he is rich well i suppose you would call me the king's ear it's a useful organ the ear
00:29:32but in fact it's even simpler than that when the king wants something done i do it
00:29:37for example master crumball well now for example next week at deptford we are launching the great
00:29:45harry 1000 tons four masts 66 guns an overall length of 175 feet it's expected to be very effective
00:29:56all this you probably know however you probably do not know that the king himself will guide her down
00:30:03the river oh yes yes the king himself will be her pilot he will have assistance of course but he
00:30:10himself will be her pilot he will have a pilot's whistle upon which he will blow and he will wear
00:30:16in every respect a common pilot's uniform except for the material which will be cloth of gold
00:30:22these innocent fancies require more preparation than you might suppose and someone has to do it
00:30:27meantime i do prepare myself for higher things i stock my mind alas master crumball don't we all
00:30:36that ship for instance it has 56 guns by the way not 66 and only 40 of them are heavy
00:30:44i understand that after the launching the king will take his barge down to chelsea yes yes
00:30:51two sir thomas mores yes will you be then oh no they'll talk about the divorce the king will ask
00:30:59him for an answer he has given his answer the king will ask him for another sir thomas is a good son of
00:31:06the trust sir thomas is a man
00:31:12isn't that his steward yes yes i believe so well good day your excellency good day master crumball good day
00:31:20sir sir thomas doesn't talk about it he doesn't talk about it to his wife
00:31:34this is worth nothing but he doesn't talk about it to lady margaret that's his daughter sir
00:31:40so so he's worried sir he's frightened he goes white when it's mentioned
00:31:50all right oh sir
00:31:59are you coming in my direction rich oh no no no no oh i think you should you know
00:32:04i can't tell you anything
00:32:12well sir thomas rises at six and prays for an hour and a half
00:32:17yes during lent he lived entirely on bread and water
00:32:20yes sir thomas is a true son of the church that he is sir what did master crumball want the same as
00:32:27you sir now no man can serve two masters steward indeed no sir i serve one
00:32:37good simple time here take this
00:32:40and our lord watch you you too sir that is a very religious man
00:32:46what did you tell him that sir thomas says his prayers and goes to confession sir why that that's
00:33:02what he wanted to hear sir oh i could have told him any number of things about sir thomas there he has
00:33:07rheumatism prefers red wine to white he's easily seasick afraid of drowning but that's what he wanted
00:33:11to do is what did he say he said sir thomas was a good churchman sir well that's true isn't it i'm
00:33:16only telling you what he said sir master crumball went that way sir i ask you which way master crumball went
00:33:27the great thing is not to get out of your depths what i can tell them is common knowledge but now
00:33:34they've paid money for it and everyone wants value for his money they'll make it a secret to prove they've
00:33:39not been built they'll make a secret of it by making it dangerous oh and i can't touch the bottom i'll
00:33:45go deafblind and dumb and that's more than i can earn and afford them
00:33:50go deafblind and be a secret to understand it

00:34:15then he must be in the garden
00:34:16Take your master!
00:34:17Master, where's my master?
00:34:18Where's your master?
00:34:21Oh, my God!
00:34:24My lady, the king!
00:34:26Yes, fool!
00:34:27And if the king arrives, and the chancellor's not here...
00:34:30My lady!
00:34:33Not my fault.
00:34:35The chapel!
00:34:36The chapel!
00:34:37Oh, God's blood!
00:34:39You take things too far, Alice.
00:34:47Do I not know it?
00:34:48It will end badly for him.
00:34:49I know that, too.
00:34:50This is not how Woolsey made it so great.
00:34:54Lord Chantle, what sort of fooling is this?
00:34:57Does the king visit you every day?
00:34:58Oh, but I go to Vespers almost every day.
00:35:01He's here!
00:35:02But isn't this visit meant to be a surprise?
00:35:04Well, for you, yes.
00:35:06It's not for him.
00:35:07Lord Chantle, do you propose to me?
00:35:09The king dressed as a parish clerk!
00:35:12Parish clerk, my lord chancellor!
00:35:14You dishonor the king and his office!
00:35:15The service of God is not a dishonor to any office.
00:35:18Believe me, my friend, I do not belittle the honor his majesty's doing me.
00:35:22Here, give him the chain!
00:35:23For God's sake, give him the chain!
00:35:25Enough's enough!
00:35:27What you've done?
00:35:39Your majesty does my house more honor than I feel my household can bear.
00:35:45No ceremony, Thomas!
00:35:47No ceremony of passing fancy!
00:35:49I happen to be on the river!
00:35:51Look!
00:35:52Mud!
00:35:54We do that in better style, your grace, when we come by the road!
00:35:57Ah, the road!
00:35:58There's the road for me, Thomas!
00:35:59The river!
00:36:00My river!
00:36:00By heaven, what an evening, Lady Alice!
00:36:05I fear we called upon you unexpectedly!
00:36:08Oh, no, your grace!
00:36:09Oh, no, no, that is...
00:36:10Yes, but we are ready.
00:36:12Ready to entertain you, that is, your grace.
00:36:15This is my daughter, Margaret, sire.
00:36:18She has not yet had the honor to meet your grace.
00:36:21Why, Margaret, they told me you were a scholar.
00:36:27Answer, Margaret.
00:36:30Among women I pass for wine, your grace.
00:36:33Antiquone modo Latine loqueris anox onience.
00:36:37Quem me docuit, pater, domine!
00:36:39Bene, optimus est!
00:36:43Graecam ne linguam quoque te docuit.
00:36:46Graecam me docuit, non pater, maeus, sed me patris amicus.
00:36:50Johannes Colatus sancti parli decanus.
00:36:53Oe, in literis, graecis, tarmen, non minus quam latinis.
00:36:57As magestri minuita de Scipilis tu titiar.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:03Take care, Thomas.
00:37:08There is no end to the making of books and too much reading is a weariness of the flesh.
00:37:13Can you dance, too?
00:37:15What?
00:37:16Where, your grace?
00:37:17Well, I dance superlatively.
00:37:19That, Margaret, is a dancer's leg.
00:37:25But I can still throw it.
00:37:27Shall I show them, Howard?
00:37:28Oh.
00:37:29Shall I?
00:37:30No, your grace.
00:37:31You are gentle.
00:37:32That's good.
00:37:33You shall read to me.
00:37:34No, no.
00:37:35You shall read to me.
00:37:36Lady Alice, the river has given me an appetite.
00:37:38Oh.
00:37:39Oh.
00:37:40If your grace would share a very simple supper.
00:37:41It would please me, too.
00:37:43I'm something of a scholar, too.
00:37:44Did you know?
00:37:45Well, the world knows your grace's book, asserting the seven sacraments of the church.
00:37:47Ah, yes.
00:37:48Between ourselves, your father had a hand in that, eh, Thomas?
00:37:49You didn't hear your grace in a minor capacity.
00:37:50He seeks to shame me with his modesty.
00:37:51On second thoughts, Lady Alice, we will follow.
00:37:52Oh.
00:37:53Oh.
00:37:54Oh.
00:37:55Oh.
00:37:56Oh.
00:37:57Oh.
00:37:58Oh.
00:37:59Oh.
00:38:00Oh.
00:38:01Oh.
00:38:02Oh.
00:38:03Oh.
00:38:04Oh.
00:38:05Oh.
00:38:06Oh.
00:38:07Oh.
00:38:08Oh.
00:38:09Oh.
00:38:10Oh.
00:38:11Oh.
00:38:12Oh.
00:38:13Oh.
00:38:14Oh.
00:38:15Oh.
00:38:16Oh.
00:38:17Oh.
00:38:18Oh.
00:38:19Oh.
00:38:20Oh.
00:38:21Oh.
00:38:22Oh.
00:38:23Oh.
00:38:24Oh.
00:38:25Oh.
00:38:26Oh.
00:38:27Oh.
00:38:28Oh.
00:38:29Oh.
00:38:30Oh.
00:38:31Oh.
00:38:32Oh.
00:38:33Oh.
00:38:34Oh.
00:38:35Oh.
00:38:36Oh.
00:38:37Oh.
00:38:38Oh.
00:38:39Oh.
00:38:40Oh.
00:38:41Oh.
00:38:42Oh.
00:38:43Oh.
00:38:44Oh.
00:38:45Oh.
00:38:46I brought them with me
00:39:09Lady Alice, take them in
00:39:16Thomas
00:39:27Listen to this, Thomas
00:39:30Do you know it?
00:39:31Shhh
00:39:37I launched a ship today, Thomas
00:39:39You have many accomplishments
00:39:41It was a great experience
00:39:52A great experience, Thomas
00:39:54Yes, your grace
00:39:58I am a fool
00:39:59Oh, so you are
00:40:00What else but a fool
00:40:01To live in a court with a licentious mob
00:40:03When I have friends with gardens
00:40:06Your grace
00:40:07No courtship, no ceremony
00:40:09Be seated, Thomas
00:40:11You are my friend, are you not?
00:40:14Your majesty
00:40:15And thank God I have a friend for my Chancellor
00:40:18Readier to be friends, I trust, than he was to be Chancellor
00:40:22My own knowledge of my poor abilities
00:40:25I will judge your abilities, Thomas
00:40:29Did you know Wolsey named you for Chancellor?
00:40:31Wolsey
00:40:32Aye, before he died
00:40:33Wolsey named you
00:40:34And Wolsey was no fool
00:40:35He was a statesman of incomparable abilities, your grace
00:40:38Then why did he fail me?
00:40:40Villainy
00:40:41I was right to break him, Thomas
00:40:43He was all pride
00:40:45A proud man, Thomas
00:40:47And he failed me
00:40:49He failed me, Thomas
00:40:51And the one thing that matters
00:40:53The one thing that matters, Thomas
00:40:55Then or now
00:40:56And why?
00:40:58Because he wanted to be Pope
00:41:00Oh, yes
00:41:01He wanted to be Bishop of Rome
00:41:03I will tell you something, Thomas
00:41:05And you can check this for yourself
00:41:07It was never merry in England
00:41:09While there were cardinals amongst us
00:41:11Remember that, Thomas
00:41:13Touching this matter of my divorce
00:41:15Have you thought about it since we last talked?
00:41:18Little else
00:41:19Then you see your way clear to me
00:41:21That you should put away Queen Catherine, sire
00:41:25As I think of it I see so clearly
00:41:27That I cannot come with your grace
00:41:29That my endeavour's been not to think of it at all
00:41:31Then you have not thought enough
00:41:33Great God, Thomas
00:41:36Why do you hold out against me
00:41:38And the desire of my heart
00:41:40The very wick of my heart?
00:41:42Here is my right arm, sire
00:41:47Take your dagger there and saw it from my shoulder
00:41:50And I will laugh and be thankful
00:41:52If by that means I can come with your grace
00:41:54With a clear conscience
00:41:55I know it, Thomas
00:41:58I know!
00:42:00No!
00:42:01I crave pardon if I offend
00:42:05Speak then
00:42:06When I took the great seal
00:42:08Your majesty promised not to pursue me in this matter
00:42:11Ah! So I break my word!
00:42:13Master Moore!
00:42:15No!
00:42:16No!
00:42:17No!
00:42:18I'm joking!
00:42:20I joke roughly
00:42:22I often think I'm a rough fellow
00:42:24Yes!
00:42:25A rough young fellow!
00:42:26Be seated
00:42:28Ah!
00:42:29That's a rose bay
00:42:30We have one just like it at Hampton
00:42:32Beautiful
00:42:33You must consider, Thomas
00:42:36I stand in peril of my soul
00:42:38It was no marriage
00:42:39She was my brother's wife
00:42:40Leviticus
00:42:41Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife
00:42:43Yes, Your Grace, but Deuteronomy
00:42:45Deuteronomy's ambiguous
00:42:47I'm not fit to meddle in these matters
00:42:49Sire to me
00:42:50It seems a question for the Holy See
00:42:52Thomas
00:42:53Does a man need a pope to tell him when he has sinned?
00:42:56It was a sin
00:42:57I admit it
00:42:58I repent
00:42:59And God has punished me
00:43:01I have no son
00:43:02Son after son
00:43:04She's born me
00:43:05All dead at birth
00:43:06All dead within the month
00:43:07I never saw the hand of God so clear in anything
00:43:11Oh, I...
00:43:14I have a daughter
00:43:16She's a good child
00:43:18A well-set child
00:43:21But I have no son
00:43:25It is my bounden duty to put away the Queen
00:43:30And all the popes back to St. Peter
00:43:32Shall not come between me and my duty
00:43:34How is it you cannot see everyone else does?
00:43:37Then why does Your Grace need my poor support?
00:43:40Because you are honest
00:43:43And what's more to the purpose
00:43:45You are known to be honest
00:43:47There are those like Norfolk that follow me because I wear the crown
00:43:51There are those like Master Cromwell that follow me because they are jackals with sharp teeth
00:43:55And I am their lion
00:43:57There is a mass that follows me because it follows anything that moves
00:44:01And there is you
00:44:06I am sick to think how much I must displease Your Grace
00:44:10No, Thomas
00:44:13I respect your sincerity
00:44:17Respect?
00:44:19Oh man, it's water in the desert
00:44:21But come, how did you like our music?
00:44:24That air they played, it had a certain...
00:44:27Well, you tell me what you thought
00:44:30Could it have been Your Grace's oath?
00:44:33Discovered
00:44:35Now I'll never know your true opinion and that is irksome, Thomas
00:44:38And I will tell Your Grace truly what I thought of it
00:44:42Speak then
00:44:44To me it seemed...
00:44:46Delightful
00:44:47Thomas, I chose the right man for chance
00:44:49And I must in fairness add my taste in music is reputedly deplorable
00:44:53Your taste in music is excellent and exactly coincides with my own
00:44:59Oh, music
00:45:01Send them back without me, Thomas
00:45:02I will stay here in Chelsea and make music
00:45:06My house is at Your Grace's disposal
00:45:08Cutting this other business, mark you, Thomas
00:45:10I will have no opposition
00:45:12Your Grace?
00:45:13No opposition, I say no opposition
00:45:15Your conscience is an own affair, but you are my Chancellor
00:45:18There
00:45:19You have my word, I will leave you out of it
00:45:20For I do not take it kindly, Thomas
00:45:22And I will have no opposition
00:45:24Oh, I see how it will be
00:45:26The bishops will oppose me
00:45:27The full-fared hypocritical princes of the Church
00:45:30And as for the Pope
00:45:32They're all hypocrites, mind they don't take you in, Thomas
00:45:35Lie low if you will, but I will brook no opposition
00:45:38No signs, no letters, no pamphlets
00:45:41Mark that, Thomas, no writings against me
00:45:44Your Grace is unjust
00:45:46I am Your Grace's loyal minister
00:45:47If I cannot serve Your Grace in this great matter of the Queen
00:45:51I have no Queen
00:45:56Catherine is not my wife
00:45:59And no priest can make her so
00:46:02And they that say that she is my wife
00:46:05Are not only liars, but traitors
00:46:08Mindy, Thomas
00:46:10Am I a babbler, Your Grace?
00:46:12You are stubborn
00:46:14You are stubborn
00:46:18Thomas, if you could come with me
00:46:22There is no man I would soonest raise
00:46:25Yes, with my own hand
00:46:28Your Majesty overwhelms me
00:46:30What's that?
00:46:38Eight o'clock
00:46:40Oh, lift yourself up, man, lift yourself up
00:46:44Have I not promised?
00:46:46Shall we eat?
00:46:48Your Grace pleases
00:46:50Eight o'clock, you said, Thomas
00:46:51I was forgetting the tide
00:46:53The tide will be changing, Thomas
00:46:54I'd better go
00:46:56Your Grace, I'm sorry
00:46:58I must catch the tide, Thomas
00:46:59Or I won't get back to Richmond
00:47:01Don't come, tell Norfolk
00:47:03Ah, Lady Alice, I must go
00:47:05I want to catch the tide
00:47:07To tell you the truth, Lady Alice
00:47:08I quite forgot in your haven here
00:47:10How time flows past outside
00:47:12Affairs call me to court
00:47:14So I give you my thanks and say goodnight
00:47:15Goodnight
00:47:16Goodnight, Your Grace
00:47:18Goodnight, Your Grace
00:47:19What's this?
00:47:20You crossed him
00:47:22Why?
00:47:23I couldn't find the other way
00:47:25You are too nice altogether, Thomas
00:47:27Woman, mind your house
00:47:31I am minding my house
00:47:32No, I told him, I told him
00:47:44She was a really stubborn person
00:47:46I could have told him
00:47:48Impossible
00:47:53Alice
00:47:55What would you have me do?
00:47:57Be ruled, if you won't rule him, be ruled
00:47:59I neither would nor could rule my king
00:48:02There's a little, little space where I must rule myself
00:48:06There's very little less to him than a tennis court
00:48:10Look, it was eight o'clock
00:48:13At eight o'clock, Lady Anne likes to dance
00:48:15Thomas, stay friends with him
00:48:17Whatever can be done by smiling, you may rely on me to do
00:48:20You don't know how to flatter
00:48:22I flatter very well
00:48:24My recipe is beginning to be widely copied
00:48:25It's the basic syrup with just a sous-son of discreet impudence
00:48:30I wish he'd eaten here
00:48:32So do I
00:48:33We shall be living in that simple supper of yours for a fortnight
00:48:38Alice
00:48:40Alice
00:48:42Set your mind at rest
00:48:44This is not the stuff of which martyrs are made
00:48:47Sir Thomas
00:48:49Oh, what do you want here?
00:48:50It's not convenient
00:48:52Must everything be made convenient?
00:48:53I'm not a convenient man, Meg
00:48:56I've got an inconvenient conscience
00:48:58How long have you been here?
00:49:00Are you in the king's party?
00:49:02No, sir, I'm not in the king's party
00:49:04It's about I wish to speak to you
00:49:06My spirit is perturbed
00:49:08Yes, it will
00:49:10Why?
00:49:11I've been offered a seat in the next parliament
00:49:13Ought I to take it?
00:49:14Well, that depends
00:49:16Given your views on church reform
00:49:18I should think you could do yourself a lot of good in the next parliament
00:49:20My views on the church
00:49:22I must confess since last we met my views have somewhat modified
00:49:26I modify nothing concerning the body of the church
00:49:29The money changes in the temple must be scourged
00:49:32But an attack on the church herself now
00:49:35I see behind that an attack on God
00:49:37Oh, Roper
00:49:38The devil's work
00:49:39Roper
00:49:40To be done by the devil's ministers
00:49:42Oh, for heaven's sakes, will you remember my office?
00:49:44Oh, if you stand on your office
00:49:46I don't stand on it
00:49:48There are certain things I may not hear
00:49:50Sophistication
00:49:51It's what I was told
00:49:53The court has corrupted you, Sir Thomas
00:49:55You've learnt to study your convenience
00:49:57What?
00:49:58You've learnt to flatter
00:49:59There, Alice
00:50:00You see, I have a reputation for her
00:50:01God's body
00:50:02Young man
00:50:03If I were the chancellor
00:50:04I'd have you whipped
00:50:06Master Rich is here, Sir Thomas
00:50:10Richard
00:50:12Good evening, sir
00:50:14Lady Alice
00:50:17Lady Market
00:50:19Good evening, Master Rich
00:50:23You know William Roper the Younger?
00:50:26Oh, by reputation, of course
00:50:27Good evening, Master Rich
00:50:30Oh, you've heard of me?
00:50:32Yes
00:50:34What connection? I don't know what you're going to have heard
00:50:37I sense that I am not welcome here
00:50:40Why, Richard, have you done something that should make you not welcome?
00:50:45Why? Do you suspect me of it?
00:50:47I shall begin to
00:50:54Cromwell is asking questions about you
00:50:57About you particularly
00:51:01He's continually collecting information about you
00:51:04Yes, I know that
00:51:07And that's one of his sources
00:51:09Of course, that's one of my servants
00:51:11Thank you, Matthew
00:51:16Señor Chapuis, the Spanish ambassador
00:51:19Collects information too, that's one of his functions
00:51:21You look at me as though I were an enemy
00:51:23You look at me as though I were an enemy
00:51:25Why, Richard, you...
00:51:29You're shaking
00:51:31I'm adrift
00:51:33Help me
00:51:35How?
00:51:36Employ me
00:51:38No
00:51:40Employ me!
00:51:41No
00:51:42I would be steadfast
00:51:50Richard
00:51:51Richard
00:51:52You couldn't answer for yourself even so far as tonight
00:51:55I would be steadfast
00:51:56Richard
00:51:57Richard
00:51:58You couldn't answer for yourself even so far as tonight
00:52:01I would be steadfast
00:52:02Richard
00:52:03Richard
00:52:04You couldn't answer for yourself even so far as tonight
00:52:07You
00:52:09You couldn't answer for yourself even so far as tonight
00:52:10You couldn't answer for yourself even so far as tonight
00:52:14Oh
00:52:19Arrest him
00:52:20Yes
00:52:21For what?
00:52:22He's dangerous
00:52:23For Bible, he's a spy
00:52:24Yes, arrest him
00:52:25Father, that man's bad
00:52:26Well, there's no law against that
00:52:27There is
00:52:28God's law
00:52:29And then God can arrest him
00:52:30Sophistication upon sophistication
00:52:32No, sheer simplicity
00:52:33The law, Roper
00:52:34The law
00:52:35I know what's legal
00:52:36Not what's right
00:52:37Then I'll stick to what's legal
00:52:38Then you set man's law above God's
00:52:40No, far below
00:52:41But let me draw your attention to a fact
00:52:43I am not God
00:52:45But the currents and eddies of right and wrong
00:52:47Would you find such plain sailing?
00:52:49I can't navigate
00:52:50I'm no voyager
00:52:51But in the thickets of the law
00:52:52Oh, there
00:52:53I'm a forester
00:52:54I doubt there's a man alive can follow me there
00:52:56Thank God
00:52:59While you talk, he's gone
00:53:01And though he's sure to be with the devil himself
00:53:03Until he broke the law
00:53:04So now you'd give the devil benefit of law?
00:53:06Yes
00:53:07What would you do?
00:53:08Cut a great road through the law to get after the devil?
00:53:10I'd cut down every law in England to do that
00:53:12Ah
00:53:13And when the last law was down
00:53:15And the devil turned round on you
00:53:16Where would you hide, Roper?
00:53:18The laws all being flat
00:53:20This country's planted thick with laws
00:53:22From coast to coast
00:53:23Man's laws, not God's
00:53:24And if you cut them down
00:53:25And you're just the man to do it
00:53:27Do you really think you could stand up right in the winds?
00:53:30Rise in the winds that would blow then?
00:53:33Yes
00:53:34I'd give the devil benefit of law
00:53:36For my own safety's sake
00:53:38I've long suspected this
00:53:39This is the golden calf
00:53:41The law's your God
00:53:42Phew
00:53:43Rupi, you are a fool
00:53:45God's my God
00:53:46But
00:53:47I find him rather too subtle
00:53:48I
00:53:49I don't know where he is
00:53:50Not what he wants
00:53:51My God wants service
00:53:52To the end and unremitting
00:53:54Nothing else
00:53:55You sure that's God?
00:53:56Sounds like Moloch
00:53:58Yeah
00:53:59It
00:54:00May be God
00:54:01But
00:54:02Whoever hunts for me
00:54:03God or devil
00:54:04Will find me hiding in the thickets of the law
00:54:06Then I'll hide my daughter with me too
00:54:08Not hoister up the main mast of your sea-going principles
00:54:12They put about too nimbly
00:54:14Oh
00:54:15That was harsh
00:54:24What's happened here?
00:54:25You can't abide a fool, that's all, be off
00:54:27Hide you?
00:54:28Hide you from what?
00:54:30He said nothing about hiding me, you notice
00:54:33I'm too fat to hide, I suppose
00:54:34Oh, you know he meant us both
00:54:36But from what?
00:54:37I don't know, I don't know if he knows
00:54:39He's not said one simple direct word to me since this divorce came up
00:54:42It's not God that's gone subtle, it's him!
00:54:46Roper, that was harsh
00:54:48Your principles are excellent, very best quality
00:54:51No, truly your principles are fine
00:54:53Oh, look, we must make a start in all that food
00:54:57Oh, father
00:54:59Won't you be playing with us?
00:55:01I stand on the wrong side of no statutes
00:55:04No common law
00:55:06I have not disobeyed my sovereign
00:55:09I truly believe no man in England is safer than myself
00:55:13I want my supper
00:55:20We shall need your assistance, Will
00:55:22There's an excellent burgundy, if your principles permit
00:55:24They don't, sir
00:55:25Well, put some water in it
00:55:26Just the water, sir
00:55:27Oh, poor boy
00:55:28Why does Cromwell collect information about you?
00:55:31I'm a prominent figure
00:55:32Somewhere someone's collecting information about Cromwell
00:55:35Now, no more shirking, we must make a start
00:55:38This is Stuffed Swan, if you please
00:55:41The loyal subject
00:55:52A pub
00:55:58A publican
00:56:00Always a deep one, that's a Thomas More
00:56:02Deep
00:56:03Takes a lot of education to get a man as deep as that
00:56:06And a deep nature to begin with
00:56:08The likes of me can hardly be expected to follow the processes of a man like that
00:56:13Can we?
00:56:15Right, ready
00:56:16Ready, sir
00:56:18Is this a good place for a conspiracy innkeeper?
00:56:25You ask for a private room, sir?
00:56:27I want somewhere without too many little dark corners
00:56:30I don't understand you, sir
00:56:31There's only four corners, as you see
00:56:33And them barrels
00:56:34You don't understand me
00:56:35That's right, sir
00:56:36You know who I am
00:56:40No, sir
00:56:41Now, don't be too tactful in Keeper
00:56:43I don't understand, sir
00:56:45When the likes of you are too tactful
00:56:47The likes of me begin to wonder who's the fool
00:56:50I just don't understand, sir
00:56:52The master statesman of us all, I don't understand
00:56:57Alright
00:56:59Get out
00:57:06Rich
00:57:21Yes, it may be I am a little intoxicated
00:57:26But not just with alcohol
00:57:29With success
00:57:30Who has a strong head for success, eh?
00:57:32None of us gets enough of it
00:57:34Except kings, and they're born drunk
00:57:37Success?
00:57:38What success?
00:57:39Guess
00:57:40Collector of revenues for York
00:57:42Oh, you do keep your ears close to the ground, don't you?
00:57:47Now
00:57:49What then?
00:57:50Sir Thomas Padgett is retiring
00:57:54Secretary to the council?
00:57:55Yes, it's astonishing, isn't it?
00:57:57Oh, no, no, no, no, no
00:57:58I mean one sees that it's logical
00:58:00No ceremony, no court should be seated
00:58:04As his majesty would say
00:58:07Well, now
00:58:08Do you see how I trust you?
00:58:09I'd never repeat or report anything like that
00:58:11Oh?
00:58:12What kind of thing would you repeat or report?
00:58:16Well, nothing said in friendship
00:58:18May I say friendship?
00:58:20Oh, yes, yes, if you like
00:58:22But do you really mean that, that you would never repeat or report anything?
00:58:26Yes
00:58:27No, but seriously
00:58:28Why, yes
00:58:29Rich
00:58:30Seriously
00:58:34Well, it would depend what I was offered
00:58:37But now, don't just say it to please me
00:58:41It's true
00:58:43It would depend what I was offered
00:58:47Everyone knows it, but not many people can say it
00:58:52There are some things one wouldn't do for anything surely
00:58:54Well, that idea's like those lifelines you see on the embankment comforting, but you don't expect to have to use them
00:59:03Well, congratulations
00:59:04On what?
00:59:05I think you'd make a good collector of revenues for your diocese
00:59:09Is it in your gift?
00:59:11Will be
00:59:12What do I have to do for it, hmm?
00:59:13Nothing
00:59:14It's not like that, Rich
00:59:16There are no rules with rewards and penalties
00:59:19So much wickedness purchases, so much worldly prosperity
00:59:24Are you sure you're not religious?
00:59:27Almost sure
00:59:28Right, get sure
00:59:31No, not like that
00:59:32It's much more a matter of convenience
00:59:35Administrative convenience
00:59:37Now, normally, when a man wants to change his woman
00:59:40You let him if it's convenient and you prevent him if it's not
00:59:44But the constant factor is this element of convenience
00:59:49Whose convenience?
00:59:50Oh, ours
00:59:52But everybody's too
00:59:54However, in the present circumstances, the man who wants to change his woman is our sovereign Lord King Harry, by grace of God, the eighth of that name
01:00:03Which is a quaint way of saying, if he wants to change his woman, he will
01:00:07So that becomes the constant factor
01:00:10And it's our job as administrators to make it as convenient as we can
01:00:16I say our job on the assumption that you'll take this post that York have offered you
01:00:23Yes, yes
01:00:29It's a bad sign when people are depressed by their own good fortune
01:00:33I'm not depressed
01:00:35You look depressed
01:00:37Oh, I'm lamenting, I've lost my innocence
01:00:40Well, you lost that some time ago
01:00:42If you've only just noticed it, it can't have been very important, have you?
01:00:45Why, that's true
01:00:47I can't
01:00:48We experience a sense of release, do we master rich and unfamiliar freshness in the head, as of open air
01:00:55Collector of revenues isn't bad
01:00:57Yeah, not bad for a start
01:00:59Now, our present Lord Chancellor
01:01:03Oh, there's an innocent man
01:01:06The odd thing is, he is
01:01:07Oh, yes, I say he is
01:01:09The trouble is, his innocence is tangled in this proposition
01:01:13That you can't change a woman without a divorce
01:01:16And you can't get a divorce unless the Pope says so
01:01:19And from this quite meaningless circumstance, I fear some degree of...
01:01:24Administrative inconvenience?
01:01:25Just so
01:01:27That goblet he gave you
01:01:31How much was it worth?
01:01:34Come along, rich
01:01:39He gave you a silver goblet
01:01:41How much did you get for it?
01:01:4350 shillings
01:01:45Could you take me to the shop?
01:01:48Yes
01:01:50Where did he get it?
01:01:51It was a present from a woman, a litigant, wasn't it?
01:01:56Yes
01:01:57Which court?
01:01:58Chancery?
01:02:00No, no, no, no, don't get drunk
01:02:02In which court was the litigant's case?
01:02:06The court of requests
01:02:09There now
01:02:11I'm sorry
01:02:13How much did he get it?
01:02:15It was a present from a woman, a litigant, wasn't it?
01:02:17Huff
01:02:20There now
01:02:21That wasn't too painful, was it?
01:02:25No
01:02:27That's all there is
01:02:29And it'll be easier next time
01:02:33What news are they, these bits of information that you collect?
01:02:37None at all, usually
01:02:38But sometimes?
01:02:39Well, there are these men
01:02:41You know, upright, steadfast men
01:02:43Who want themselves to be the constant factor in the situation
01:02:45Which, of course, they can't be
01:02:47The situation rolls forward in any case
01:02:50So what happens?
01:02:52Well, they've got any sense, they get out of the way
01:02:55What if they haven't got any sense?
01:02:57Well, none at all
01:02:59Oh, why?
01:03:01Then they're only fit to heaven
01:03:03But Sir Thomas has plenty of sense
01:03:07He could be frightened
01:03:08Don't forget that he's an innocent, Master Cromwell
01:03:11Yes, well
01:03:13I think we'll finish there for tonight
01:03:15After all
01:03:17He is the Lord Chancellor
01:03:21You wouldn't find him easy to frighten
01:03:23You've mistaken your man this time
01:03:25He doesn't know how to be frightened
01:03:33He doesn't know how to be frightened
01:03:35Why, then, you never put his hand in a candle, did you?
01:03:48You enjoyed that!
01:03:54You enjoyed it!
01:04:05You enjoyed it!
01:04:06You enjoyed it!
01:04:10You enjoyed it!
01:04:12You enjoyed it!
01:04:14A month or a month ago
01:04:16That's $200 for David!
01:04:18I've been to get to the next time
01:04:19We've received apid for literally
01:04:21I enjoyed it!
01:04:23To be continued...
01:04:25A month or two!
01:04:27We've got...
01:04:29What will you do?
01:04:30The first act ended early in the year 1530, and it's now the middle of May 1532.
01:05:00During that time a lot of water flowed under the bridge, and one of the things that floated
01:05:09along on it is the Church of England, that finest flower of our island genius for compromise.
01:05:16That system, peculiar to these shores, which deflects the torrents of religious passion
01:05:20down the canals of moderation.
01:05:22That's very well put.
01:05:26Typically this great effect was achieved not by bloodshed, but by Act of Parliament.
01:05:31Only an unhappy few were found to set themselves against the current of their times, and in
01:05:34so doing, to court disaster.
01:05:37For we're dealing with an age less fastidious than our own.
01:05:41Imprisonment without trial, and even examination under torture, were common practice.
01:05:46Under torture, John?
01:05:53Hand in force, John.
01:06:08Yes.
01:06:13Must you wear those clothes, Will?
01:06:15Yes, I must.
01:06:16Why?
01:06:18The time has come for decent men to declare their allegiance.
01:06:22What allegiance are those designed to express?
01:06:24My allegiance to the church.
01:06:26Well, you look like a Spaniard.
01:06:27All credit to Spain, then.
01:06:29Oh, you wouldn't last six months in Spain.
01:06:31You'd have been burned alive in Spain during your heretic periods.
01:06:35I suppose you have the right to remind me of it.
01:06:38That chain of office that you wear is a degradation.
01:06:41It's no degradation, great man of war, Miss.
01:06:44I told you before, if the English bishops submit to the king today, I'll take it off.
01:06:49Who do you expect to hear from?
01:06:51About now, I was promised an immediate message.
01:06:54I don't see what difference the bishops can make.
01:06:56The church is already a wing of the palace, is it not?
01:06:59The king is already its supreme head, is he not?
01:07:02No.
01:07:03You're denying the act of supremacy.
01:07:06No, I'm not.
01:07:07The act states that the king is...
01:07:08The supreme head of the church in England.
01:07:10So far as the law of God allows.
01:07:12How far the law of God does allow it remains a matter of opinion, since the act doesn't state it.
01:07:17A legal quibble.
01:07:19Call it what you like.
01:07:20It's there, thank God.
01:07:21Very well.
01:07:22In your opinion, how far does the law of God allow this?
01:07:25I'll keep my opinion to myself, will?
01:07:27Yes, I'll tell you mine.
01:07:28Don't.
01:07:29If it's what I think it is, it's high treason.
01:07:31Roper, will you remember you have a wife now and may have children?
01:07:35Why must he remember that?
01:07:36To keep myself discreet.
01:07:38Oh, then, I'd rather you forgot it.
01:07:40You're both idiots, our children.
01:07:43All saints.
01:07:44Oh, Father, the saint of Chapuis has come to see you.
01:07:47Your Excellency.
01:07:49All saints, my lord.
01:07:51Oh, that's it, of course, saints.
01:07:54Turn your head in a bit, Roper.
01:07:56Yes, I think I do, Detective Faint Radiance.
01:07:59Will, you should have told us.
01:08:02Oh, come, come, my lord.
01:08:04You two at this time are not free from some suspicion of saintliness.
01:08:08I don't like the sound of that, Your Excellency.
01:08:11What do you require of me?
01:08:13Well, may not I come simply to pay my respects to the English Socrates.
01:08:17I've no taste for hemlock, if that's what you mean.
01:08:20God forbid.
01:08:22But must I require anything?
01:08:24After all, we are brothers in Christ, you and I.
01:08:28Along with the rest of humanity.
01:08:30You live in Cheapside, senor.
01:08:33Now, to reach a brother in Christ, you've only to open a window and empty your chamber pot.
01:08:37There was no need to come all the way to Chelsea.
01:08:40William, the Spanish ambassador is here on business.
01:08:43Would you mind?
01:08:46Ah, no.
01:08:47I protest.
01:08:49Dominus verbiscum, Philly may.
01:08:51Et cum spiritu tuo, Excellences.
01:08:53My lord, I cannot believe that you will allow yourself to be associated with the recent actions of King Henry in respect of Queen Catherine.
01:09:04Subjects are associated with the actions of kings willy-nilly.
01:09:07Lord Chancellor, it's not an ordinary subject.
01:09:11He bears responsibility for what is done.
01:09:14Has it occurred to you that what has been done not well might have been done worse with a different Chancellor?
01:09:19Father, leave me, Sir Thomas.
01:09:20Your influence in these policies has been much searched for and praised, where it has been found.
01:09:26But there comes a point, doesn't there not?
01:09:29There comes a point.
01:09:30When the sufferings of one unfortunate lady swell to an open attack on the religion of an entire country, that point is...
01:09:39What do you want?
01:09:40Rumour has it that if the bishops assemble today, submit to the king, you will resign.
01:09:52You would approve of that.
01:09:53Oh, approve, applaud, admire.
01:09:57Why?
01:09:57Why, because it would show that one man, yes, and that man known to be temperate, is unable to go any further with this wickedness.
01:10:06And that man known to be Chancellor of England, too.
01:10:08Oh, believe me, my lord, such a signal...
01:10:10A signal?
01:10:11Yes, my lord, a signal that will be seen and understood.
01:10:14Oh, by whom?
01:10:15By half your fellow countrymen.
01:10:18Sir Thomas, I have just returned from Yorkshire and Northumberland, where I have made a tour.
01:10:24Have you indeed.
01:10:25Things are very different up there, my lord.
01:10:28There they are ready.
01:10:29For what?
01:10:30Resistance.
01:10:30Sir Thomas, excuse me, sir.
01:10:32Is Grace the Duke of North?
01:10:33It's all over, sir.
01:10:34All right, don't rope her.
01:10:35I'll do this.
01:10:37Thomas.
01:10:38I was on the point of leaving, dear Grace.
01:10:41Just a personal call.
01:10:43I've been trying to borrow a book, but without success.
01:10:47If you're sure that you have no copy, my lord, I'll take my leave.
01:10:51Gentlemen.
01:10:53Ah, ladies.
01:10:57Sir Thomas.
01:10:57I'll do it, rope her.
01:10:59Well, the bishops have knuckled under, Thomas.
01:11:05They're to pay a fine of a hundred thousand pounds to the crown.
01:11:09And we've severed the connection with Rome.
01:11:12The connection with Rome, that space.
01:11:21Did no one resist?
01:11:23Bishop Fisher.
01:11:24Lovely man.
01:11:26Your Grace, this is quite certain, isn't it?
01:11:27Yeah.
01:11:29Funny company, Thomas.
01:11:32The dacre.
01:11:34It's quite unintentionally.
01:11:35It doesn't mean to be funny.
01:11:44Oh, for...
01:11:45Help me with this, will you?
01:11:48Not I.
01:11:53Shall I, sir?
01:11:55No, thank you, Will.
01:11:56I can manage it.
01:12:01Alice.
01:12:04Hell's fire, no!
01:12:06Must come on, you're taken for a wise man.
01:12:09Is this your wisdom?
01:12:11To betray your ability?
01:12:13Forget your station,
01:12:15uneducated to your kin,
01:12:16and behave like a printed book!
01:12:18Oh, God.
01:12:26Cover it, will you?
01:12:28You won't.
01:12:37There's my clever girl.
01:12:51Well, Thomas, why?
01:12:54Make me understand,
01:12:55because I tell you now,
01:12:56from where I stand,
01:12:57this looks like cowardice.
01:12:59Ah?
01:13:01This isn't Reformation,
01:13:02this is war against the Church.
01:13:04Our King Norfolk has declared war on the Pope,
01:13:07because the Pope will not declare
01:13:08that our Queen is not his wife.
01:13:10And is she?
01:13:10I'll answer that question for one man only.
01:13:12The King.
01:13:13I am that in private, too.
01:13:16And you're cautious.
01:13:17Yes, cautious.
01:13:18I'm not one of your hawks.
01:13:19All right.
01:13:20We're at war with the Pope.
01:13:21The Pope's a prince, isn't he?
01:13:23He is.
01:13:23Not a bad one.
01:13:24Bad enough.
01:13:25But the theory is he's also the vicar of God,
01:13:27the descendant of St. Peter,
01:13:29our only link with Christ.
01:13:30Oh, does this make sense?
01:13:33You forfeit all you've got,
01:13:36which includes the respect of your country.
01:13:39True theory.
01:13:40It's a theory, yes.
01:13:41You can't see it.
01:13:41You can't touch it.
01:13:42But what matters to me
01:13:43is that I believe it to be true.
01:13:45Or rather not that I believe it,
01:13:46but that I believe it.
01:13:48I trust I make myself obscure.
01:13:50Perfectly.
01:13:51Good.
01:13:51Obscurity is what I have need of now.
01:13:53Thomas,
01:13:53this isn't Spain, you know.
01:14:01Have I your word
01:14:02that what we say here
01:14:03is between us
01:14:04and has no existence
01:14:05beyond these walls?
01:14:07Very well.
01:14:08And if the king
01:14:08should command you
01:14:09to repeat what I say?
01:14:11Well,
01:14:11keep my word to you.
01:14:12then what becomes
01:14:13of your oath
01:14:13of obedience
01:14:14to the king?
01:14:17Transforming.
01:14:17No.
01:14:18I show you the time.
01:14:19Why do you insult me
01:14:20with your lawyer's tricks?
01:14:21Because I'm afraid.
01:14:23Oh.
01:14:30Then here's your answer.
01:14:32The king accepts your resignation
01:14:40very sadly.
01:14:42He is mindful
01:14:42of your goodness
01:14:43and past loyalty
01:14:45and in any matter
01:14:46concerning your honour
01:14:47or welfare
01:14:48he will be your good lord.
01:14:51So much for your fear.
01:14:53You will convey
01:14:54my humble gratitude.
01:14:56I will.
01:14:56Good day,
01:14:58Lady Alice.
01:15:00I'd rather deal
01:15:01with you
01:15:02than your husband.
01:15:05Howard.
01:15:07Senior Chauppui
01:15:08told me
01:15:09he's just made a tour
01:15:10of the north country.
01:15:10He thinks we should
01:15:11have trouble there.
01:15:12So do I.
01:15:12What sort of trouble?
01:15:13Church.
01:15:14The old church
01:15:15is very strong.
01:15:16I'm serious, Howard.
01:15:18Keep a close eye
01:15:18on the Scots border
01:15:19this next year
01:15:20and remember
01:15:21the French alliance.
01:15:22We will.
01:15:23We do.
01:15:24And as for the Dago,
01:15:25Thomas,
01:15:26it may perhaps
01:15:26relieve your mind
01:15:27to know
01:15:27that one of
01:15:28Secretary Cromwell's
01:15:29agents made
01:15:30the tour with him.
01:15:31Oh.
01:15:32Well, of course,
01:15:33if Master Cromwell
01:15:34has matters in hand.
01:15:35He has.
01:15:36But thanks
01:15:37for the information.
01:15:39It's good to know
01:15:40you still have some
01:15:41bested
01:15:43of patriotism.
01:15:47Norfolk!
01:15:47So there's the end
01:15:56of you.
01:15:59What will you do now?
01:16:01Ziple and fire
01:16:04and poke in the ashes.
01:16:06Not at all, Alice.
01:16:08I expect I'll
01:16:08write a bit.
01:16:11Yes, I'll write
01:16:12and read
01:16:13and think.
01:16:14I think I'll learn
01:16:15to fish.
01:16:16I'll play with
01:16:17my grandchildren
01:16:17when son Roper's
01:16:19done his duty.
01:16:21Alice,
01:16:21shall I teach you
01:16:22to read?
01:16:23No,
01:16:23by God!
01:16:24Sir,
01:16:25you've made
01:16:26a noble gesture.
01:16:27Gesture?
01:16:28My God,
01:16:29I hope it's understood
01:16:30I make no gesture.
01:16:33Alice,
01:16:33you don't think
01:16:34I'd do this to you
01:16:35for a gesture,
01:16:36but that's a gesture?
01:16:38That's a gesture?
01:16:39I'm no street actor.
01:16:40I've had to make
01:16:40gestures.
01:16:41I'm practical.
01:16:41Sir,
01:16:42you belittle yourself.
01:16:43This wasn't practical.
01:16:44This was moral.
01:16:45All right,
01:16:45now I understand you well.
01:16:47Morality is not practical.
01:16:49Morality is a gesture,
01:16:51a complicated gesture
01:16:52learned from books.
01:16:54And that's what you say,
01:16:55isn't it,
01:16:55Alice?
01:16:56And you too,
01:16:56Meg?
01:16:57It is for most of us,
01:16:58Father.
01:16:59Oh,
01:16:59if you're going to
01:17:00plead humility,
01:17:01you're cruel.
01:17:04I have a cruel family.
01:17:05Yes,
01:17:06you can fit the cap
01:17:07on anyone you want.
01:17:08I know that well enough.
01:17:09If there's cruelty
01:17:10in this house,
01:17:10I know where to look for it.
01:17:11No,
01:17:12Mother!
01:17:12Oh,
01:17:13you'd walk on the bottom
01:17:14of the sea
01:17:15and think yourself a crab
01:17:16if he suggested it.
01:17:18And you,
01:17:19you'd dance him
01:17:20to the tower.
01:17:21You'd dance him
01:17:22to the block.
01:17:24like David
01:17:25with his harp.
01:17:28Scattering hymn books
01:17:29in his path.
01:17:32Oh,
01:17:32you poor silly man.
01:17:34Do you think
01:17:34they're going to leave you
01:17:35here to learn to fish?
01:17:36If we govern our tongues,
01:17:38they're well.
01:17:38Now listen.
01:17:40I've something to say
01:17:41about that.
01:17:42I have resigned,
01:17:43that's all.
01:17:45I've made no statement
01:17:46on the king's supremacy
01:17:48of his new English church
01:17:49and the divorce
01:17:50he'll now grant himself
01:17:51and the marriage
01:17:52he'll then make.
01:17:53Have you heard me
01:17:53make a statement?
01:17:54No.
01:17:55And if I'm going
01:17:56to lose my rank
01:17:57and fall to housekeeping,
01:17:58I want to know the reason.
01:17:59So you make a statement now!
01:18:01No.
01:18:02Alice,
01:18:03it's a point of law.
01:18:05Accept it from me, Alice,
01:18:06that in silence
01:18:07lies my safety
01:18:08under the law.
01:18:09My silence
01:18:10must be absolute.
01:18:11It must extend to you.
01:18:13In short,
01:18:14you don't trust us.
01:18:16A man would need
01:18:17to be half-witted
01:18:18not to trust you.
01:18:20Look,
01:18:21I'm the Lord Chief Justice.
01:18:23No.
01:18:24No,
01:18:24I'm Cromwell.
01:18:25I'm the king's head jailer.
01:18:26And I take your hand
01:18:28and I clamp it
01:18:29on the Bible,
01:18:30on the blessed cross.
01:18:32And I say to you,
01:18:33woman,
01:18:34has your husband
01:18:34made a statement
01:18:35on these matters?
01:18:37Now,
01:18:38a peril of your soul
01:18:39remember.
01:18:40What's your answer?
01:18:42No.
01:18:44And so it must remain.
01:18:46Oh.
01:18:46Oh.
01:18:48Oh.
01:18:49It's only a lifeline.
01:18:51I wish I'd have to use it,
01:18:53but it's comforting to have.
01:18:55No, no.
01:18:55They find I'm silent,
01:18:57they'll ask nothing better
01:18:58than to leave me silent.
01:18:59You'll see.
01:19:00Sir,
01:19:01the household's in the kitchen.
01:19:03They want to know
01:19:04what's happened.
01:19:04Oh,
01:19:05yes.
01:19:06We must speak to them.
01:19:08They'll mostly have to go,
01:19:09my dear,
01:19:09I'm afraid,
01:19:10but not before
01:19:11we've found them places.
01:19:12We can find places
01:19:13for them all.
01:19:14Yes, we can.
01:19:16Yes, we can.
01:19:18You go and tell them so.
01:19:20Now.
01:19:21God's death,
01:19:22it comes on us quickly.
01:19:25Well, Matthew,
01:19:31what about you?
01:19:34You'll be a
01:19:34smaller household now
01:19:36and for you,
01:19:36I'm afraid,
01:19:37smaller wage.
01:19:39Will you stay?
01:19:40Well, I don't see
01:19:41how I could, sir.
01:19:42Well, you're a single man.
01:19:43Yes, I know, sir,
01:19:44but I mean,
01:19:45I've got my...
01:19:46Oh, you're quite right.
01:19:47Why should you?
01:19:49Oh, I shall miss you, Matthew.
01:19:53No.
01:19:55You've never had much time
01:19:56for me, sir.
01:19:57You see through me, sir.
01:19:59I know that.
01:20:00I shall miss you, Matthew.
01:20:03I shall miss you.
01:20:04Damn me,
01:20:10isn't that them all over?
01:20:11Miss?
01:20:12He?
01:20:12Miss?
01:20:13Miss me?
01:20:15What's in me
01:20:15for him to miss?
01:20:18Oh.
01:20:19I nearly fell for it.
01:20:23Matthew,
01:20:23will you kindly
01:20:24take a cut
01:20:24in your wages?
01:20:25No, sir Thomas,
01:20:26I will not.
01:20:27That's it.
01:20:27That's all of it.
01:20:28All right,
01:20:29so he's done
01:20:29and he's luck.
01:20:30I'm sorry.
01:20:31I don't mind saying that.
01:20:32I'm sorry.
01:20:32Bad luck.
01:20:34If I had any good luck
01:20:34to spare,
01:20:35he could have some.
01:20:36I wish we all had good luck.
01:20:37All the time.
01:20:39I wish we had wings.
01:20:41I wish rainwater was beer,
01:20:42but it isn't.
01:20:42And what,
01:20:43we're not having wings
01:20:43but walking on two flat feet
01:20:45and good luck and bad luck
01:20:46being just exactly even Stevens
01:20:48and rain being water.
01:20:49Don't you complicate the job
01:20:50by putting things in me
01:20:51for me to miss.
01:20:53I did, you know.
