: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...
:38:02
is a desire for plunder
with no respect for the interests of Spain.
:38:05
The interests of Spain
do not command my respect...
:38:07
- as they evidently do his lordship's.
- I protest!
:38:10
Capt. Thorpe, you will at least show
the proper respect for my ministers.
:38:14
So you have taken it upon yourself
to remedy the defects of Spanish justice?
:38:18
Insofar as it lies within my power,
yes, Your Grace.
:38:21
And you conceive it
to be part of your mission...
:38:24
to assault and loot the ship
of an ambassador to the court?
:38:27
Capt. Thorpe, do you imagine
that we are at war with Spain?
:38:31
Your Grace,
Spain is at war with the world.
:38:35
Enough of this.
Listen to me, every one of you.
:38:38
Never again
will you dare in my presence...
:38:40
to condone your crimes
under the mask of patriotism.
:38:43
No more of such talk, do you hear?
:38:45
And for the future, let me warn you...
:38:46
that any unwarranted attack
upon Spanish subjects or their property...
:38:50
will cost the guilty party his head.
:38:52
His head, is that clear?
:38:57
Now you may go.
