1:33:02
This is the end.
1:33:04
On, no, no. You must send for him.
1:33:06
He's as proud as you are.
He'll say nothing.
1:33:08
You must send for him.
Bring him here.
1:33:11
No.
1:33:12
I shall live and he shall die.
1:33:16
Oh, I shall walk about
and give orders...
1:33:20
...for a horrible while.
1:33:22
But even though my heart
goes into his grave along with him...
1:33:27
...I will never send for him.
1:33:30
He must ask to come to me.
1:33:33
He will ask. He will.
1:33:39
I told you.
1:33:41
He has sent someone to plead.
1:33:44
Enter.
1:33:53
- By your leave, Your Grace.
- Well?
1:33:55
All London's outside the tower
protesting the execution.
1:33:58
Haven't I ears?
Can't I hear them? What of it?
1:34:01
The captain of the guard begs permission
to use force to scatter them.
1:34:09
So that's what you came
to see me about?
1:34:12
I thought you brought word.
1:34:14
Milord of Essex would hardly condescend
to plead through me, Your Majesty.
1:34:19
And for an excellent reason.
1:34:21
He could never be sure of the form
in which you'd deliver it.
1:34:24
This is your day, Cecil.
1:34:27
The snake in the grass endures.
1:34:29
Yes, the snake's mind is best.
1:34:31
To the end of time, it will be so.
1:34:34
The snakes and the rats,
they shall flourish...
1:34:36
...and those who are noble
and free of soul go down.
1:34:39
But, madam, if you'll pardon me,
the crowd is dangerous.
1:34:42
- Lf I may order the guard.
- You may not.
1:34:48
But I will give you a task
less to your liking.
1:34:52
Go to my Lord of Essex in his cell
and send him here.
1:34:55
Well, are you struck dumb?
1:34:58
But, Your Grace, Lord Essex
is preparing for execution.
