Pressure.
:13:08
No, Your Grace, I'm not going to help you.
:13:14
Then goodnight, Master More.
:13:20
Let the dynasty die with Henry Vlll
and we'll have dynastic wars again.

:13:25
Blood-witted barons ramping the country
from end to end.

:13:29
Is that what you want? Very well.
:13:33

:13:41
...perhaps not, there's much in the Church
which needs reformation, Thomas.

:13:47
All right, regrettable.

:14:33
Who's our next chancellor?
You? Fisher? Suffolk?

:14:38
-Fisher for me.
-Aye, but for the King?

:14:40
What about my secretary,
Master Cromwell?

:14:44
Cromwell. He's a very able man.
:14:49
But?
:14:51
Me rather than Cromwell.
:14:54
Then, come down to earth.
:14:59
Until you do...
