- Baganold defeated?
- Killed, and his army destroyed.

:35:04
That is the reason Her Majesty
commands you to return. She needs you.

:35:07
Well, of course she needs me...
:35:09
...with nincompoops like Raleigh
around her.

:35:12
- Mountjoy!
- Milord.

:35:14
Back to Wanstead and pack.
We're returning immediately to London.

:35:25
My dear Sir Walter.
:35:28
Well, well, well.
:35:31
You're even more splendid
than I'd imagined.

:35:33
Even in my retreat, news came
of that silver armor of yours.

:35:37
- I was ill. I swear it cured me.
- I'm glad you're well.

:35:40
You should have heard
the compliments on you.

:35:42
"Sir Walter's in silver," they said.
:35:45
"The world has been outdone."
:35:47
- You need not repeat them.
- Oh, but I insist.

:35:49
The design. The workmanship.
:35:52
Look, Bacon. Magnificent, is it not?
:35:54
And I said to myself,
"The great man."

:35:57
This is what we needed...
More silver armor.

:36:00
Silver everywhere. Oceans of silver.
:36:02
Sir Walter has set the style.
The world will follow.

:36:05
When I heard Her Majesty herself
admired it, I...

:36:09
Wait, gentlemen. A moment.
Ho there, guard attendant!

:36:17
I sent for the silversmiths...
:36:18
...and had them produce enough armor
for the queen's personal guard.

:36:23
Take care, my lord.
I bear insults badly.

:36:26
Insults?
:36:28
What insults? You ordered that armor
in the queen's service.

:36:31
- I ordered a dozen more like it.
- I've endured much from you!

:36:35
And will endure more!
:36:36
There can be no quarreling here.
Have you forgotten a certain appointment?

:36:40
- Bacon, you protect me?
- I protect you both.

:36:43
You may have your laugh, Lord Essex.
Come, gentlemen.

:36:52
Another lecture? Come, schoolmaster.
:36:54
Essex, when will you realize how vital it is
not to make enemies at court?

:36:58
I'll make friends and enemies
to please myself.
