1:39:02
And the nights went by somehow
like the days, and it never came.
1:39:07
And here it is, the last morning...
1:39:09
...the last quarter-hour.
- Even if I believed you...
1:39:12
...I couldn't have sent it.
- Why not?
1:39:15
Because if I'd tried to hold you
to your promise and you'd broken it...
1:39:19
...l'd have died more unhappy than I am.
- But I'd have kept my promise.
1:39:23
I'd keep it now.
1:39:26
If I were to offer you this ring now,
you'd pardon me, love me as before?
1:39:31
Oh, yes. Everything as before.
1:39:34
And what would happen to your throne?
1:39:37
My throne?
1:39:40
- Why, nothing.
- Now there you're wrong...
1:39:43
...for I'd try to take it from you.
I played for power once...
1:39:46
...and I lost, but if...
1:39:50
Listen.
1:39:54
Do you hear that, Elizabeth?
1:39:58
The people are all with me.
1:40:01
And if I had another chance, I'd win.
1:40:05
Why do you tell me this?
1:40:07
- Don't you know it means...?
- My death?
1:40:11
Yes, I know.
1:40:12
I only tell you because
I've loved you, love you still.
1:40:17
I can never accept pardon from you
without you knowing the truth and facing it.
1:40:21
So...
1:40:23
...it's best I leave.
1:40:25
Robert, you can't.
1:40:29
You can't go like this. I won't let you.
1:40:32
I love you.
1:40:33
- Then are you ready to give up your throne?
- No, no, no. I cannot.
1:40:37
And you talk of love.
A love that clings to a tinsel throne.
1:40:41
Robert, wait. Listen.
1:40:43
I do love you. I'll always love you...
1:40:46
...till life is drained from me...
1:40:48
...no matter how long and lonely
the after years may be.
1:40:52
But there is another love,
greater even than that I have for you.
1:40:57
What's this greater love
that lets the lesser go to its death?
