Is there a man in this country...
1:44:03
...who does not know
Sir Thomas More's opinion of this title?
1:44:10
Yet, how can this be?
1:44:12
Because this silence betokened...
1:44:15
...nay, this silence was not silence at all,
but most eloquent denial!
1:44:23
Not so.
1:44:26
Not so, Master Secretary.
1:44:30
The maxim of the law is,
"Silence gives consent."
1:44:33
If, therefore, you wish to construe
what my silence betokened...
1:44:36
...you must construe that I consented,
not that I denied.
1:44:42
Is that in fact what the world
construes from it?
1:44:44
Do you pretend that is what you wish
the world to construe from it?
1:44:48
The world must construe
according to its wits.
1:44:51
This court must construe
according to the law.
1:45:03
My lords, I wish to call Sir Richard Rich!
1:45:08
Richard Rich, come into court.
1:45:11
Richard Rich!
1:45:33
"l do swear the evidence I'll give
before the court shall be the truth...
1:45:36
"...the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth."
1:45:39
"So help me God," sir.
1:45:41
"So help me God."
1:45:45
Now Rich, on May 12,
you were at the Tower?
1:45:49
-I was.
-For what purpose?
1:45:50
I was sent to carry away
the prisoner's books.
1:45:53
-Did you talk with the prisoner?
-Yes.
1:45:55
Did you talk of the King's supremacy
of the Church?
1:45:58
Yes.
1:45:59
What did you say?
