:48:01
Is this what you wanted?
To force me into a cowardly promise?
:48:05
- Are you afraid I might return in triumph?
- Not that, dearest. No.
:48:09
But there are those here at court,
powerful enemies...
:48:12
...who would love to see you
gone from me...
:48:15
...and who would stop at nothing
to trick you into disaster.
:48:18
- Am I afraid of such...?
- I asked you not to be angry.
:48:22
Not angry? When you think I can't outflank
such numskulls as Raleigh and his clique?
:48:29
Very well.
:48:32
Go, if you like.
:48:34
Only I love you and say
what would be wisest.
:48:39
The things I love in you most,
your honesty, your reckless pride...
:48:43
...are the very things
they would play upon, sweet.
:48:46
All I ask of you is be careful.
:48:49
Surely you can do so little
for one who loves you so well.
:48:54
Will you promise?
:48:57
Promise.
:49:02
I promise.
:49:06
Now we must go...
:49:09
...and talk of Ireland.
:49:17
This deficit has grown
to alarming proportions.
:49:20
It's now so large,
we can no longer ignore it.
:49:22
What do you suggest, milord?
:49:24
Either a drastic increase in our present taxes
or a series of additional taxes.
:49:28
- Kendrick will not endure it.
- Milords...
:49:32
...let us leave this question.
:49:34
Any further business before us?
:49:36
There is one perpetual subject,
Your Majesty...
:49:39
...which we take up time after time
and always leave unsettled:
:49:43
Tyrone's rebellion in Ulster.
:49:45
It's no longer a smoldering coal.
It's a running fire spreading north to south.
:49:50
- Which means?
- Men. Money. Ships.
:49:55
And more than that, a leader.
:49:57
A lord protector, who'll carry fire and sword
from end to end till there are no more rebels.
