Your ordnance, your food
and precious little you had...

1:10:04
...and supplies is warming
the hearts of Ireland.

1:10:07
The road's tore up.
Your guides came back to me.

1:10:09
- My guides?
- They're my men. Glad to lend them to you.

1:10:13
Me whole army's drawn up
betwixt you and the sea.

1:10:16
In short, Lord Essex, you're trapped.
1:10:18
Now maybe you understand
what I meant by submission.

1:10:21
- I'll not do it while I have an army. I'll fight.
- Without food or munitions?

1:10:26
You'd only get yourselves
butchered or drowned.

1:10:29
Throw down your arms and save
your lives the whilst you can.

1:10:33
If I'm trapped, why do you spare us?
1:10:35
Am I a fool to believe that if
I destroyed you, I'd destroy England?

1:10:39
If we fought it out now,
I'd finish you to the last man.

1:10:42
But I'd lose men too...
1:10:44
...men that I need to fight your successor
when he comes in spring.

1:10:47
Throw down your arms and I'll lend you
the guides to take you safe to the coast.

1:10:53
And if I refuse?
1:10:54
Lt'll be your pride against the life
of every one of your men.

1:10:58
Come now, Essex. What do you say?
Will you not disarm?

1:11:02
Between you here
and betrayal at Whitehall...

1:11:06
...it seems I've no choice.
1:11:08
Then here's me hand on it...
1:11:11
...and a message to the queen,
thanking her for victory...

1:11:14
...for you're the most dangerous foe
I've had to face.

1:11:18
If she'd given you the support your campaign
deserved, without the word of a lie, man...

1:11:22
...it would be me and not you
that would be surrendering this day.

1:11:27
I'll give her your message...
1:11:28
...with my whole army.
1:11:35
The mob does nothing but cry
the name of Essex.

1:11:37
It was your intellect that got us into this.
We are grateful.

1:11:41
Don't be a fool. How did I know
that Essex would rise and revolt?

1:11:45
I thought he'd be killed.
Instead, he lands in Wales...

1:11:48
...rearms his men, and even now,
marches through London on the palace.

1:11:53
That means we're in grave trouble.
1:11:55
Which means you pulled down more upon
your ears than you bargained for.

1:11:59
One. If Essex prevails, you're lost.
