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.
1:12:01
Two. If he becomes reconciled to her...
1:12:03
...and there are explanations about
their letters, then you're doubly lost.

1:12:09
I'll see her. She'll listen to me.
We've got to keep them apart.

1:12:12
- Make this a war between them.
- Absolutely.

1:12:16
Bacon is right. If Essex is allowed
to speak to her, it's our end.

1:12:20
Guard, right wheel.
1:12:25
- What is this, Armand?
- Her Majesty ordered a guard for the throne.

1:12:33
She's holding court at this hour of night?
1:12:35
- It seems so.
- She is mad.

1:12:37
This is no time for assembly,
with Essex leading an army on the palace.

1:12:41
Can't you order troops out?
1:12:43
There's no precedent, but this is an
emergency without precedent. I'll try.
