1:01:00
If I'm to lose my rank and fall to
housekeeping, I want to know the reason.
1:01:03
-So make a statement now.
-No.
1:01:06
Alice, it's a point of law.
Accept it from me...
1:01:08
...that in silence is my safety,
under the law.
1:01:11
And my silence must be absolute,
it must extend to you.
1:01:15
In short, you don't trust me.
1:01:21
I'm the Lord Chief Justice,
I'm Cromwell, I'm the keeper of the Tower.
1:01:25
I take your hand...
1:01:26
...I clamp it on the Bible,
on the blessed Cross and I say:
1:01:30
"Woman, has your husband
made a statement on these matters?
1:01:34
"On peril of your soul remember,
what is your answer?"
1:01:39
No.
1:01:41
And so it must remain.
1:01:53
Have you opened your mind to Meg?
1:01:55
Would I tell Meg what I won't tell you?
1:01:59
Meg has your heart.
I know that well enough.
1:02:13
This is a dangerous matter then...
1:02:16
...if you've not told Meg.
1:02:19
I don't think so. No.
1:02:23
When they find I'm silent...
1:02:25
...they'll want nothing better
than to leave me silent.
1:02:30
You'll see.
1:02:52
But he's silent, Master Secretary,
why not leave him silent?
1:02:56
Your Grace, not being a man of letters...
1:02:59
...you perhaps don't realise
the extent of his reputation.
