Who dares to...

Capt. Thorpe begs an immediate audience,
Your Grace.

:36:32
- Admit him.
- Yes, Your Grace.

:36:47
Your Majesty.
:36:51
Capt. Thorpe, why did you fail to answer
Lord Wolfingham's summons?

:36:55
I was in the castle at the appointed time,
but I had an accident.

:36:59
- An accident?
- Perhaps not exactly an accident.

:37:01
I lost something
to which I was quite attached.

:37:05
Capt. Thorpe, I dispatched a castle guard
to bring you here.

:37:09
Thank you, milord.
That was very kind of you.

:37:11
The escort was really not necessary.
I know my way here very well.

:37:17
I have a more serious charge
preferred against you.

:37:20
His Excellency, Don Alvarez,
ambassador to this court...

:37:22
states that you did attack, plunder,
and sink the galleass Santa Eulàlia...

:37:26
on which he was a passenger
under the flag and protection...

:37:29
of his sovereign, King Phillip of Spain.
:37:31
Is this charge true?
:37:32
Part of it, Your Grace. Quite a large part.
:37:35
Part of it? What's the rest?
:37:38
We also set free many Englishmen
imprisoned as galley slaves on his ship.

:37:42
Your Grace,
these men referred to by Capt. Thorpe...

:37:45
were duly tried and sentenced
to the galley by a qualified court.

:37:49
I submit, Your Grace,
that the court of the Inquisition...

:37:52
is not qualified to pass fair judgment
on English seamen...

:37:55
nor to subject them to the cruelties
of a Spanish galley.

:37:58
Your Grace.
:37:59
The captain wishes to justify what,
in plain words...
