:38:00
He has too many concerns elsewhere
to bother about us.
:38:03
I believe Phillip's thirst for power...
:38:05
can only be quenched
in the English Channel.
:38:07
Even if that were true...
:38:09
are my Lord Admiral and his privateers
prepared to stop him?
:38:12
We are ready to try, my lord...
:38:14
to the last ship and to the last man.
:38:17
If Phillip is bold enough
to make demands now...
:38:19
what will he do when the Armada is built?
:38:25
My lords,
I have considered your opinions earnestly.
:38:29
My own impulse, like Sir John's,
is to defy Phillip.
:38:35
But the safety of my subjects
constrains me to caution.
:38:42
Lord Wolfingham,
you will prepare an order...
:38:46
authorizing the arrests
of all English privateers...
:38:50
and the confiscation of their ships
as they put into port.
:38:55
That will be all, my lords.
:39:16
My friend, there are times
when a queen must think...
:39:20
not of right or wrong...
:39:23
but only of the good of those she rules.
:39:29
My child, you mustn't weep so.
:39:32
There may yet be some hope.
:39:35
What chance is there for a galley slave?
:39:38
But at least he is still alive, Maria.
:39:41
Alive like animals in a dark cage.
:39:46
No air, no sun, no kindness...
:39:49
no mercy.
:39:51
Only time and torture.
:39:54
The hours as heavy as their chains.
:39:57
Martha, better he were dead
than down there...
:39:59
waiting only to die.
