...who think more
of their pockets than their principles.

:05:04
l am leaving because we have a king
who taxes the rich beyond its means...

:05:08
...and steals land
from the poor to maintain...

:05:11
...his lavish court
and his Catholic wife.

:05:13
When Parliament objected
against these injustices...

:05:17
...he closed his Parliament down.
:05:19
And our man dare not speak
his mind for fear of imprisonment.

:05:22
Oh, yes.
:05:24
All my life l believed it was God"s work
to fight against such tyranny.

:05:28
But God has turned his back
upon this nation, and we are leaving it.

:05:35
And what if Parliament
should be recalled, Mr. Cromwell?

:05:39
-And why should a king do that?
-He needs money, Oliver.

:05:43
-What? To build another palace?
-No.

:05:47
To fight a war.
:05:52
A war, John?
:05:56
A war against whom?
:05:58
The Scots have assembled
on our border.

:06:01
They may invade us at any moment.
:06:03
The king needs money
to raise an army.

:06:07
By the king"s own decree, Parliament
has not sat these past 1 2 years.

:06:11
-And now the king needs money.
-Once Parliament has assembled...

:06:15
...it will lie within our power
to change...

:06:18
...the whole structure
of government in this country.

:06:22
How many times
did we sit in Parliament?

:06:24
How many resolutions did we pass?
:06:26
And how many times did
this king overrule us?

:06:29
The king can have
his war with Scotland.

:06:31
-We will be in America.
-There will be a war...

:06:34
-...but it will not be with Scotland.
-Henry.

:06:37
-With whom, Mr. lreton?
-We"ve argued this matter many times.

:06:41
l am convinced.
:06:42
-A war against whom, Mr. lreton?
-Against the king, sir.

:06:49
The king?
:06:51
You mean a civil war? ln England?
:06:58
You know not the ways of this nation.
Such things do not happen here.
