1:44:00
You asked me to always
tell you what I think.

1:44:03
What you think,
and what you do,

1:44:06
and how, and when
you do them

1:44:10
are not the same thing.
1:44:12
If you believe I wish
to execute this girl.

1:44:15
But now, because
you say to court

1:44:21
you can tell King
what to do,

1:44:24
I cannot intervene
as I had planned.

1:44:27
Intervene after
they're tortured?

1:44:29
Yes!
1:44:32
But you, a woman
and a foreigner,

1:44:37
have made it seem
King at your command!

1:44:40
You have made me
appear weak

1:44:42
and impossible
for me to step in

1:44:44
and not lose face!
1:44:46
But you are the king.
1:44:47
And to remain such,
1:44:49
I cannot undermine
my ability

1:44:51
to command loyalty,
1:44:52
which I must have
to keep country secure!

1:44:55
You have the power
to lead your--

1:44:57
Now is not the time
to change the way

1:44:58
that things are done!
1:45:01
Well, ifnot now,
then when?

1:45:03
How many more
people must die

1:45:04
so that you might
save face?

1:45:16
Go home, Mem.
1:45:19
You help enough
for one day.
