1:27:00
that you will immediately disband
and imprison the Sea Hawks...
1:27:04
or face the consequences of an open
conflict between our two nations.
1:27:08
What are you saying?
Do you dare come to me with threats?
1:27:11
Out of my court before I order your arrest!
1:27:25
Remove that man's portrait from my sight.
1:27:31
Hurry! Do as I say.
1:27:39
Go to Lord Wolfingham.
Tell him to summon my council at once.
1:27:42
It's enough I've had to listen
to his tiresome complaints...
1:27:45
without having to look
at his arrogant face.
1:27:47
"The honor of Spain requires..."
Requires, indeed.
1:27:50
Presumptuous fool.
Telling me what I can and can't do...
1:27:53
as if the world were a jewel
that hung around his neck.
1:27:56
Has Phillip gone completely mad?
1:27:57
Does he think he can dictate
to the Queen of England?
1:28:01
Who's to defend us but the Sea Hawks?
1:28:03
Your Majesty, we cannot afford
an open break with Spain.
1:28:06
What makes you think
we will be attacked?
1:28:07
What other reason has Phillip
for building an armada?
1:28:10
But, Your Grace,
these demands are preposterous.
1:28:12
These men are loyal and devoted.
1:28:14
In what way have they offended
but in serving their country?
1:28:17
Spain seeks to strip you
of your one defense upon the seas.
1:28:20
Sir John, we need defense
only if we are attacked.
1:28:22
To disregard Phillip's warning
is to invite an immediate war.
1:28:26
While to heed it is to throw ourselves
at his mercy.
1:28:28
What of that?
1:28:29
He has too many concerns elsewhere
to bother about us.
1:28:32
I believe Phillip's thirst for power...
1:28:34
can only be quenched
in the English Channel.
1:28:36
Even if that were true...
1:28:38
are my Lord Admiral and his privateers
prepared to stop him?
1:28:41
We are ready to try, my lord...
1:28:43
to the last ship and to the last man.
1:28:46
If Phillip is bold enough
to make demands now...
1:28:48
what will he do when the Armada is built?
1:28:54
My lords,
I have considered your opinions earnestly.
1:28:58
My own impulse, like Sir John's,
is to defy Phillip.
