This silence of his
is bellowing up and down Europe!
1:03:05
In Europe he is claimed
as the King's enemy.
1:03:07
Rubbish! Crank he may be,
traitor he is not.
1:03:10
Exactly. And with a little pressure....
1:03:13
With a little pressure
he can be got to say so.
1:03:15
That's all we need.
A brief declaration of his loyalty...
1:03:18
-...to the present administration.
-I still say, let sleeping dogs lie.
1:03:22
The King does not agree with you.
1:03:30
What kind of pressure do you think
you can bring to bear?
1:03:34
I have evidence that Sir Thomas,
while he was a judge, accepted bribes.
1:03:38
What?
1:03:40
Goddammit! He was the only judge
since Cato who didn't accept bribes!
1:03:43
When was there a chancellor
whose possessions, after three years...
1:03:47
...totalled £100 and a gold chain?
1:03:53
It is, as you imply, common practice...
1:03:56
...but a practice may be common
and remain an offence.
1:03:59
This offence could send a man
to the Tower.
1:04:06
Come here.
1:04:08
This woman's name is Averil Machin.
She comes from Leicester.
1:04:12
-She entered a case--
-A property case it was.
1:04:14
Shut your mouth.
1:04:16
A property case in the Court of Requests
in April, 1528.
1:04:19
And got a wicked false judgement!
1:04:20
And got an impeccably correct judgement
from Sir Thomas.
1:04:23
-No, sir, it was not!
-Tell the gentleman...
1:04:25
...about the gift you gave the judge.
1:04:29
I gave him a cup, sir.
1:04:30
A silver ltalian cup I bought in Leicester,
for 100 shillings.
1:04:34
Did Sir Thomas accept this cup?
1:04:36
Yes, sir, he did.
1:04:37
He did accept it. We can corroborate that.
You can go.
1:04:41
-To my way of thinking--
-Go!
1:04:51
-ls that your witness?
-No.
1:04:55
By an odd coincidence that cup later
came into the hands of Master Rich here.
