1:05:04
Come on, Ridley!
1:05:06
Come on!
1:05:36
The Council has voted.
You must oblige us.
1:05:41
You understand the consequences
of your decision...
1:05:44
Do not patronize me, Azmath...
1:05:46
for I understand all too well.
1:05:51
Yes, I violate the law
in defying the Council...
1:05:56
but if I were
to give you this Scepter...
1:05:59
my crime would be graver yet...
1:06:02
for I would be
defying my conscience...
1:06:04
and our people.
1:06:09
Have you all forgotten?
1:06:11
This Council was created to
protect the people of Izmer...
1:06:16
but ask yourselves...
1:06:17
Is this what you are doing?
1:06:20
I say not.
1:06:23
Your concern
is only for yourselves...
1:06:26
not the people.
1:06:28
And Your Majesty
is forcing the Empire...
1:06:30
to the verge of civil war...
1:06:32
in the best interests
of the people?
1:06:34
The man who convinced you
to take the Scepter from me...
1:06:38
so that he would leave
the state defenseless.
1:06:43
Be careful, my friends...
1:06:45
for once he's done with me,
this Council may be next.
1:06:53
War benefits no one, Profion...
1:06:55
and I oppose it.
1:06:59
But if it is necessary to obtain
the freedom of our people...
