-We have gone too far.
-This commission has no authority--

:20:04
-Our authority lies with the Parliament.
-Parliament is the law in this land.

:20:09
lf the charges against this king
be not proven...

:20:12
...what terrible retribution may he not
bring down upon our heads?

:20:16
ln the name of God!
:20:18
What are we all?
Men?

:20:22
Cowering and quivering
like downtrodden serfs.

:20:28
The king is not England,
and England is not the king!

:20:37
lt is not the survival of the king
that is at issue here.

:20:44
lt is the survival of England.
:20:49
And this king, by his dishonesties,
by his treasons...

:20:55
...and by his secret treaties
with foreign powers...

:20:59
...has shown himself to be ill-fitted
to govern this great nation!

:21:08
As God is my witness, Oliver,
l desire not the king"s death...

:21:13
...but the settlement of this nation
in peace.

:21:16
Do you think l don"t desire that?
Go back to my farm and my family?

:21:31
Very well.
Go again to this king.

:21:36
Offer him once more our terms.
:21:39
Though God knows, he should be
well acquainted with them by now.

:21:42
Tell him he may sit upon his throne...
:21:45
...but that this country will be governed
by Parliament...

:21:48
...and Parliament will be elected
by the people.

:21:52
Now, Sir Thomas, if you can
achieve this, where we have failed...

:21:57
...this trial will end.
