...and handfuls of tattered peasants
whose only desire is to be left in peace...

:31:07
...to cut each other's throats.
:31:10
Well, they may.
:31:11
I'll put an end to it.
:31:13
Not another man goes to Ireland.
:31:16
And let Philip of Spain use it as a base?
He's not forgotten Cádiz, remember.

:31:20
And whoever holds Ireland
points a dagger at the heart of England.

:31:24
I suppose you're right,
but I'm sick of this bloodshed.

:31:28
My policy has always been peace...
:31:30
...and this war was forced upon me.
:31:33
And Ireland...
:31:40
Get a physician.
:31:41
- Give him the best of food and lodging.
- Yes, Your Majesty.

:31:48
One moment.
:31:50
What of Sir Peter Finchley?
:31:54
- Is he dead too?
- Yes, Your Majesty. He was struck down.

:31:59
My thanks to you.
:32:01
Take good care of him.
:32:15
His nose crinkles when he laughs...
:32:18
...and his eyes blue, like cornflowers.
:32:22
And when he looked at her...
:32:27
Oh, Bacon...
:32:29
...l'm only a woman.
:32:32
Must I carry the weight,
the agony of the world...

:32:37
...alone?
- Not any longer, Your Majesty.

:32:40
If you form a new army,
you'll need a leader.

:32:44
- Who?
- Essex.

:32:46
If you demand his return now,
he can no longer refuse.

:32:49
- 'Tis his duty.
- What?

:32:52
And send him to death
and ruin in Ireland?

:32:54
Then make him master of the ordnance.
:32:56
In that capacity, he'll remain in London
and available for consultation.
