Cromwell
|
| 00:00:38 |
Is that him? |
| 00:00:40 |
Yes. |
| 00:00:43 |
Oliver! |
| 00:01:33 |
- God be with you, Oliver. |
| 00:01:36 |
This is Henry Ireton, a friend. |
| 00:01:37 |
- Good day, sir. |
| 00:01:40 |
I've been taking a last look at my land. |
| 00:01:43 |
We had heard you were leaving. |
| 00:01:46 |
You could have saved |
| 00:01:49 |
- lf we could discuss it, I'm sure... |
| 00:01:53 |
Well, come back to my house. |
| 00:03:31 |
You must forgive the manner |
| 00:03:34 |
Our best crockery |
| 00:03:36 |
- Bridget, fetch the bread. |
| 00:03:39 |
We'd hoped to persuade |
| 00:03:41 |
...to change his mind |
| 00:03:43 |
I should have thought you'd know |
| 00:03:47 |
It was not an easy decision, John. |
| 00:03:49 |
This is my country, my land. |
| 00:03:52 |
- Then, sir, why are you leaving? |
| 00:03:57 |
I owe it to my sons |
| 00:04:00 |
England is no longer |
| 00:04:02 |
I recall you spoke |
| 00:04:05 |
...and privileges of common people. |
| 00:04:09 |
That was a long time ago, Mr. Ireton. |
| 00:04:12 |
I had a vision then. |
| 00:04:13 |
A great nation. |
| 00:04:15 |
Prosperous, God-fearing, |
| 00:04:20 |
...respected throughout the world. |
| 00:04:23 |
That was the England I dreamed of. |
| 00:04:25 |
Well, sir, you are a squire now, |
| 00:04:29 |
Perhaps you no longer care |
| 00:04:33 |
Perhaps I've been misinformed, sir. |
| 00:04:35 |
I thought, as a Puritan, you |
| 00:04:39 |
...to do the Lord's work in this land, |
| 00:04:42 |
Mr. Ireton, I was fighting |
| 00:04:47 |
...when you were in knee breeches. |
| 00:04:49 |
Then why are you leaving? |
| 00:04:54 |
I am leaving because this country |
| 00:04:59 |
It is governed by profiteers... |
| 00:05:01 |
...who think more |
| 00:05:04 |
I am leaving because we have a king |
| 00:05:08 |
...and steals land |
| 00:05:11 |
...his lavish court |
| 00:05:13 |
When Parliament objected |
| 00:05:17 |
...he closed his Parliament down. |
| 00:05:19 |
And our man dare not speak |
| 00:05:22 |
Oh, yes. |
| 00:05:24 |
All my life I believed it was God's work |
| 00:05:28 |
But God has turned his back |
| 00:05:35 |
And what if Parliament |
| 00:05:39 |
- And why should a king do that? |
| 00:05:43 |
- What? To build another palace? |
| 00:05:47 |
To fight a war. |
| 00:05:52 |
A war, John? |
| 00:05:56 |
A war against whom? |
| 00:05:58 |
The Scots have assembled |
| 00:06:01 |
They may invade us at any moment. |
| 00:06:03 |
The king needs money |
| 00:06:07 |
By the king's own decree, Parliament |
| 00:06:11 |
- And now the king needs money. |
| 00:06:15 |
...it will lie within our power |
| 00:06:18 |
...the whole structure |
| 00:06:22 |
How many times |
| 00:06:24 |
How many resolutions did we pass? |
| 00:06:26 |
And how many times did |
| 00:06:29 |
The king can have |
| 00:06:31 |
- We will be in America. |
| 00:06:34 |
...but it will not be with Scotland. |
| 00:06:37 |
- With whom, Mr. Ireton? |
| 00:06:41 |
I am convinced. |
| 00:06:42 |
- A war against whom, Mr. Ireton? |
| 00:06:49 |
The king? |
| 00:06:51 |
You mean a civil war? In England? |
| 00:06:58 |
You know not the ways of this nation. |
| 00:07:02 |
And, in my opinion, it is long overdue. |
| 00:07:05 |
I will not have such talk in my house. |
| 00:07:07 |
It is common enough talk |
| 00:07:10 |
Then it is treasonable talk! |
| 00:07:15 |
I mark the time |
| 00:07:18 |
There is much in this |
| 00:07:20 |
Yet I would not take up arms against |
| 00:07:24 |
In such a cause, |
| 00:07:27 |
Every man who wages war |
| 00:07:30 |
I warrant God should often wonder |
| 00:07:36 |
If I gave you offence, |
| 00:07:39 |
You're a young man. It's fitting a young |
| 00:07:43 |
Not the world, sir. |
| 00:07:48 |
With a civil war. |
| 00:07:53 |
- Good evening, Mrs. Cromwell. |
| 00:07:56 |
I'll get your cloak, Mr. Ireton. |
| 00:07:58 |
I hope you'll forgive him. |
| 00:08:01 |
Goodbye, John. |
| 00:08:04 |
God be with you, Oliver. |
| 00:08:23 |
You've no right to do this. |
| 00:08:26 |
This is the common land. |
| 00:08:32 |
Any man who raises a hand against |
| 00:08:36 |
You have no right to do this. |
| 00:08:39 |
- Now it's the earl of Manchester's. |
| 00:08:42 |
- By the authority of the king. |
| 00:08:47 |
You're under arrest. |
| 00:08:49 |
Bastards! |
| 00:08:52 |
Release that man! |
| 00:08:53 |
- Who are you? |
| 00:08:55 |
I will take full responsibility. |
| 00:08:57 |
He's spoken treason against the king. |
| 00:09:03 |
The rights to pasture belong |
| 00:09:06 |
By what authority |
| 00:09:08 |
By the authority |
| 00:09:11 |
...granting me full rights to this land |
| 00:09:15 |
Such a contract cannot be legal. |
| 00:09:19 |
As a magistrate, you should know |
| 00:09:23 |
On the contrary, Lord Manchester. |
| 00:09:27 |
This is common land. |
| 00:09:30 |
This is my land |
| 00:09:32 |
It's only out of respect for your rank |
| 00:09:37 |
Captain Lundsford! See that no |
| 00:09:41 |
Yes, my lord. |
| 00:10:02 |
Good morrow to you, squire. |
| 00:10:08 |
- Have you news of my husband? |
| 00:10:12 |
- And in the king's. |
| 00:10:18 |
Let us pray. |
| 00:10:20 |
Almighty God, look down upon this |
| 00:10:27 |
Grant us the spirit of thy grace |
| 00:10:33 |
Amen. |
| 00:10:34 |
Who has done this? |
| 00:10:37 |
- Answer me. Who has done this? |
| 00:10:43 |
...from the archbishop himself and |
| 00:10:47 |
By order of the king. |
| 00:10:50 |
Is the Church of England |
| 00:10:53 |
Would the king turn the house |
| 00:10:58 |
- Mr. Cromwell, I beseech you. |
| 00:11:02 |
...can be bought with gold, |
| 00:11:06 |
I know only |
| 00:11:09 |
Has this king |
| 00:11:12 |
- Mr. Cromwell... |
| 00:11:15 |
Popish idolatry! |
| 00:11:21 |
Did the Lord not say unto Moses: |
| 00:11:24 |
"Thou shalt not make unto thyself any |
| 00:11:29 |
...nor bow down to them"? |
| 00:11:31 |
Has this king forgotten |
| 00:11:33 |
Is the Roman Catholic Church |
| 00:11:51 |
Oh, my God. |
| 00:11:54 |
My God. |
| 00:12:15 |
Goddamn this king. |
| 00:12:46 |
King's guard, attention! |
| 00:12:51 |
Here we are, my lord. |
| 00:12:53 |
That'll do, damn it. |
| 00:12:56 |
Me sticks, where are me sticks? |
| 00:12:59 |
- Here they are, my lord. |
| 00:13:02 |
- And who the devil are you? |
| 00:13:06 |
Let's in to His Majesty. |
| 00:13:10 |
- He's at prayers, my lord. |
| 00:13:12 |
He might do well to pray and all. |
| 00:13:15 |
First the Irish and now the Scots. |
| 00:13:18 |
You doesn't turn your back |
| 00:13:42 |
Let us give thanks to God, that he |
| 00:13:45 |
...with the fruits of his bounty. In the |
| 00:14:06 |
I did remark with some distress... |
| 00:14:08 |
...that His Highness, Prince Charles, |
| 00:14:13 |
He was with me, my lord. |
| 00:14:14 |
He did pray with you? |
| 00:14:17 |
- Yes, my lord. |
| 00:14:21 |
It is not fitting that a future king... |
| 00:14:23 |
...should make his devotions |
| 00:14:26 |
Your private beliefs are respected. |
| 00:14:30 |
...and as head of church and state it is |
| 00:14:35 |
His Highness found the whole business |
| 00:14:40 |
- Didn't you, Charles? |
| 00:14:42 |
I believe you will find your church |
| 00:14:47 |
Nevertheless, you will kindly see that |
| 00:14:52 |
Yes, my lord. |
| 00:14:54 |
Your Majesty? The earl |
| 00:14:58 |
My good Lord Strafford, |
| 00:15:02 |
Thank you, my lord. |
| 00:15:04 |
Your Majesty. |
| 00:15:08 |
Most noble sovereign. |
| 00:15:10 |
- A chair for his lordship. |
| 00:15:14 |
I'm sorry to see you in pain. |
| 00:15:16 |
It is the agues from the bogs of |
| 00:15:22 |
Saving your presence, my lord bishop. |
| 00:15:24 |
We would not have summoned |
| 00:15:27 |
...not been of great urgency. |
| 00:15:29 |
You've heard that the Scottish |
| 00:15:33 |
You will whip these barbarians |
| 00:15:37 |
- But what of Ireland, my lord? |
| 00:15:41 |
- You'll march an army on Scotland. |
| 00:15:47 |
Most of your army lies rotting |
| 00:15:52 |
And what's left of it is hard-pressed |
| 00:15:57 |
Then we will raise a second army. |
| 00:15:59 |
I fear Your Majesty may find |
| 00:16:03 |
What? I guarantee I could raise 3000 |
| 00:16:07 |
But could you guarantee their loyalty? |
| 00:16:10 |
Is there an Englishman who wouldn't |
| 00:16:12 |
...against his king's enemies? |
| 00:16:15 |
...who would more readily draw |
| 00:16:18 |
My God, who is this jackanapes that |
| 00:16:24 |
You've been away |
| 00:16:27 |
Much here has changed. |
| 00:16:29 |
Aye, I can see it has. |
| 00:16:31 |
I fear Sir Edward but speaks the truth. |
| 00:16:35 |
To put an effective army in the field |
| 00:16:39 |
The Crown does not |
| 00:16:43 |
Are we just going to sit here |
| 00:16:48 |
Then I will summon Parliament |
| 00:16:54 |
Parliament?! |
| 00:16:57 |
The king of England go cap in |
| 00:17:02 |
- A beggar. |
| 00:17:10 |
- I have no choice. |
| 00:17:13 |
You, my lord, are absolved before God |
| 00:17:19 |
For in extreme necessity, the king is |
| 00:17:24 |
...and can do all |
| 00:17:27 |
Power? Where is the power |
| 00:17:31 |
I'll warrant you, I'll raise an army. |
| 00:17:33 |
We'll reduce this kingdom |
| 00:17:38 |
Do you mean, sir, that I should |
| 00:17:44 |
Aye! |
| 00:17:46 |
Before they declare war on you. |
| 00:18:20 |
Well, sons. There it is. |
| 00:18:24 |
Parliament House. |
| 00:18:26 |
Upon that place rests all the hopes |
| 00:18:30 |
...for a settlement of its ills in peace. |
| 00:18:32 |
Do you think it could come |
| 00:18:35 |
Well, Oliver, |
| 00:18:38 |
...they reach for their swords. |
| 00:18:40 |
Let's hope we can keep them talking. |
| 00:18:44 |
The king demands money |
| 00:18:51 |
This House demands |
| 00:18:57 |
Grievances which the past 12 years |
| 00:19:04 |
Might I be heard? I say this |
| 00:19:10 |
Welcome back to Parliament. |
| 00:19:12 |
No money for the king! |
| 00:19:17 |
Order! Order! |
| 00:19:20 |
Neither will we take up arms against |
| 00:19:25 |
Unless this Parliament is allowed |
| 00:19:30 |
...as the true voice |
| 00:19:35 |
And not as a gathering |
| 00:20:00 |
Sir Edward Hyde, Your Majesty. |
| 00:20:04 |
- Well, Sir Edward? |
| 00:20:06 |
I believe the House will grant a loan |
| 00:20:10 |
But only on certain conditions. |
| 00:20:13 |
Conditions? |
| 00:20:17 |
What are these conditions, Sir Edward? |
| 00:20:20 |
In essence, sire... |
| 00:20:21 |
...that the Crown relinquishes |
| 00:20:26 |
And who put forward this proposal? |
| 00:20:31 |
John Pym, Henry Ireton, |
| 00:20:35 |
The Puritans. |
| 00:20:37 |
- They were well supported, my lord. |
| 00:20:43 |
My God, it's enough to make |
| 00:20:46 |
Yet, withal, they still be Englishmen. |
| 00:20:49 |
They make a mockery of the Crown! |
| 00:20:52 |
They abuse the privilege of |
| 00:20:57 |
You're too loud, Lord Strafford. |
| 00:21:05 |
So it has come to this, my lord. |
| 00:21:07 |
- That you now bargain for your crown. |
| 00:21:13 |
Arrest every man who opposes me? |
| 00:21:16 |
Would you rather make a gift |
| 00:21:19 |
...to the rabble in the street? |
| 00:21:22 |
It lies beyond my power to arrest |
| 00:21:27 |
Charges are immaterial. |
| 00:21:30 |
Such an act would subvert the |
| 00:21:34 |
Such an act might save the |
| 00:21:39 |
I've governed this country justly |
| 00:21:43 |
...without reference to any Parliament. |
| 00:21:47 |
You may be assured, I do not intend |
| 00:21:51 |
...by illiterate farm hands, cobblers... |
| 00:21:56 |
...and basket weavers. |
| 00:21:59 |
My Lord Strafford, you will rid us |
| 00:22:03 |
Pym, Ireton, all of them. |
| 00:22:06 |
- I'll arrest every one of them, my lord. |
| 00:22:10 |
- I shall need a warrant. |
| 00:22:13 |
And what will the |
| 00:22:17 |
You're an experienced officer |
| 00:22:20 |
You do not need |
| 00:22:26 |
Mr. Speaker. |
| 00:22:29 |
May I have permission |
| 00:22:32 |
- By all means, sir. |
| 00:22:34 |
A matter has come to my notice, |
| 00:22:38 |
...and will, I am sure, be to every |
| 00:22:45 |
The earl of Strafford has, this day, |
| 00:22:49 |
...for the arrest |
| 00:22:51 |
...and four other honourable members |
| 00:22:55 |
Upon a charge of high treason. |
| 00:23:00 |
Though Strafford's hand be |
| 00:23:04 |
...I see in this business, not the hand |
| 00:23:11 |
My lord! |
| 00:23:13 |
I beseech you, |
| 00:23:18 |
For I am persuaded he has |
| 00:23:22 |
Is not a king to be judged by those |
| 00:23:25 |
He is not! |
| 00:23:27 |
It is not the function of this House |
| 00:23:33 |
The fault lies with those people from |
| 00:23:37 |
I therefore move that |
| 00:23:43 |
...the arrest and impeachment |
| 00:23:46 |
...upon a charge of high treason |
| 00:23:54 |
Silence! Order! |
| 00:23:57 |
The motion has been proposed. |
| 00:24:02 |
- Is the motion agreed? |
| 00:24:05 |
In favour of the motion? |
| 00:24:07 |
Aye! Aye! Aye! |
| 00:24:10 |
The ayes have it. |
| 00:24:47 |
I think my Lord Strafford's condition... |
| 00:24:50 |
...will soon be far happier than mine. |
| 00:25:19 |
Do you see, madam? |
| 00:25:21 |
Do you see now what |
| 00:25:52 |
Gentlemen, His Majesty. |
| 00:25:59 |
Pray be seated. |
| 00:26:06 |
Your coming is nothing if not timely. |
| 00:26:10 |
My Lord Strafford's head |
| 00:26:19 |
Gentlemen, it is for you to speak. |
| 00:26:22 |
Your Majesty, you see here the leaders |
| 00:26:26 |
And though we be divided on many |
| 00:26:30 |
In that we place above all else, |
| 00:26:35 |
...to our most gracious sovereign. |
| 00:26:37 |
For which reason we |
| 00:26:40 |
...for a settlement of our differences. |
| 00:26:42 |
I share your sentiment, Sir Edward. |
| 00:26:48 |
The issue be this, my lord. |
| 00:26:51 |
Parliament is persuaded that without |
| 00:26:55 |
...by the will of the people |
| 00:26:59 |
...we be not a Parliament at all. |
| 00:27:02 |
And that unless some constitutional |
| 00:27:07 |
...we would as well go back to our |
| 00:27:12 |
...mockery of a government |
| 00:27:15 |
In short, Mr. Pym, you're asking me... |
| 00:27:17 |
...to relinquish my sovereign |
| 00:27:21 |
It does amount to that, |
| 00:27:23 |
I swear that I hold |
| 00:27:26 |
...dearer to my heart than any here. |
| 00:27:29 |
But gentlemen, if you were to reduce |
| 00:27:33 |
...manipulated by Parliament, |
| 00:27:37 |
What manner of king would I be? |
| 00:27:41 |
I am persuaded, Your Majesty... |
| 00:27:43 |
...that England must move forward to a |
| 00:27:47 |
...based upon a true |
| 00:27:51 |
Such an institution |
| 00:27:56 |
- Democracy, Mr...? |
| 00:28:01 |
Democracy, Mr. Cromwell, |
| 00:28:05 |
...based on the foolish notion that |
| 00:28:09 |
...in very ordinary people. |
| 00:28:12 |
It is the ordinary people who would |
| 00:28:16 |
...in defence of your realm. |
| 00:28:18 |
It is simply that being ordinary... |
| 00:28:22 |
...they would prefer |
| 00:28:27 |
You know, as I do, that the Scots rebels |
| 00:28:32 |
...English sword is raised against them. |
| 00:28:36 |
...our differences in defence |
| 00:28:40 |
The Scots invade our land and |
| 00:28:47 |
In the past 12 months our Irish |
| 00:28:51 |
...our churches desecrated, |
| 00:28:55 |
The Crown has been reluctant... |
| 00:28:57 |
...to defend our church and kingdom |
| 00:29:00 |
By my guard, I would as soon take |
| 00:29:04 |
...than against the Scots. |
| 00:29:06 |
Would you have me declare war... |
| 00:29:08 |
...on the entire |
| 00:29:11 |
It is your duty |
| 00:29:15 |
We are speaking now |
| 00:29:22 |
Is Your Majesty sure that it's not a |
| 00:29:29 |
I would remind you that |
| 00:29:32 |
Mr. Cromwell, you are impertinent. |
| 00:29:38 |
Such issues are beyond |
| 00:29:44 |
Catholicism is more than a religion, |
| 00:29:48 |
Therefore, I am led to believe there |
| 00:29:51 |
...until the Catholic Church is crushed. |
| 00:29:56 |
Your Majesty. |
| 00:30:02 |
These gentlemen are |
| 00:30:32 |
Your Majesty, Parliament has |
| 00:30:35 |
...in which are set out |
| 00:30:38 |
It is our belief that the |
| 00:30:42 |
...are only those that |
| 00:30:44 |
...and in the best interests |
| 00:30:48 |
I shall examine these proposals |
| 00:30:55 |
Gentlemen. |
| 00:31:18 |
It is not too late, my lord. |
| 00:31:23 |
You have the power still. |
| 00:31:25 |
And with God's help, |
| 00:31:34 |
Oh, my dearest Charles. |
| 00:31:36 |
I married you as a king and as a man. |
| 00:31:41 |
I beseech you, |
| 00:31:59 |
"This House has time and again... |
| 00:32:02 |
...expressed its wholehearted loyalty |
| 00:32:07 |
Yet... |
| 00:32:08 |
...doth Parliament await in vain |
| 00:32:11 |
The king is coming to arrest you, |
| 00:32:15 |
...Sir Arthur Haselrig and Oliver |
| 00:32:18 |
I suggest you leave. |
| 00:32:20 |
"...that if the issues that divide |
| 00:32:24 |
...be not soon resolved, then these |
| 00:32:35 |
The king is coming with a warrant |
| 00:32:38 |
- What? |
| 00:32:43 |
Oliver, your name is on it. |
| 00:32:47 |
Come! |
| 00:32:56 |
My lords! My lords! |
| 00:32:59 |
Gentlemen! The king comes. |
| 00:33:04 |
The doors! The doors! Bolt the doors! |
| 00:33:16 |
- Stand aside, gentlemen, if you please. |
| 00:33:19 |
Open in the name of the king! |
| 00:34:16 |
Mr. Speaker. |
| 00:34:18 |
Gentlemen, you must pardon |
| 00:34:22 |
...but I will not detain you long. |
| 00:34:25 |
Mr. Speaker, I must make bold |
| 00:34:39 |
I have here a warrant for the arrest |
| 00:34:44 |
John Pym, Henry Ireton, |
| 00:34:47 |
...Oliver Cromwell |
| 00:34:51 |
...upon a charge of treason. |
| 00:35:02 |
I see that the birds have flown. |
| 00:35:06 |
Mr. Speaker, |
| 00:35:12 |
May it please Your Majesty... |
| 00:35:14 |
...I have neither eyes to see |
| 00:35:17 |
...except as this House gives me leave. |
| 00:35:20 |
Well, sir, I have eyes. |
| 00:35:24 |
Captain. |
| 00:35:26 |
Take him! |
| 00:35:30 |
Any action against a member |
| 00:35:34 |
I move this House declares |
| 00:35:37 |
...any who lay hands upon its members. |
| 00:35:40 |
And I further move... |
| 00:35:44 |
I move that action against this House... |
| 00:35:46 |
...be considered |
| 00:35:50 |
And treason against this nation. |
| 00:36:03 |
So be it. |
| 00:36:05 |
Mr. Speaker, you will inform |
| 00:36:09 |
...that their presence |
| 00:36:13 |
This Parliament is, by my authority, |
| 00:36:27 |
Your Majesty! |
| 00:36:31 |
Are you aware that by your action |
| 00:36:34 |
...you may have pushed this nation |
| 00:37:01 |
Now do we see... |
| 00:37:03 |
...in what contempt this king |
| 00:37:11 |
It be either your king |
| 00:37:17 |
Honourable members, |
| 00:37:23 |
But I beseech you, |
| 00:37:53 |
Fairfax. |
| 00:38:12 |
Gentlemen. |
| 00:38:14 |
I move that this House |
| 00:38:17 |
And that this country be put |
| 00:38:23 |
Mr. Speaker. |
| 00:38:27 |
My lords. |
| 00:38:30 |
Honourable members. This nation |
| 00:38:37 |
And let us pray that God in his mercy |
| 00:38:42 |
...in this terrible |
| 00:39:26 |
Morning, William. |
| 00:39:28 |
- Give you good day. |
| 00:39:30 |
If it be God's will I die, |
| 00:39:34 |
Let's hope it doesn't come to that, |
| 00:39:43 |
- Hello, Father. |
| 00:39:45 |
- Where's your sword, Richard? |
| 00:39:48 |
You must get one and wear it. |
| 00:39:51 |
- Yes. |
| 00:39:53 |
Hallelujah, hallelujah, brethren. |
| 00:40:00 |
- The Lord's work... |
| 00:40:03 |
...though you be welcome. |
| 00:40:08 |
I asked him, |
| 00:40:10 |
And he answered me, saying, |
| 00:40:16 |
So here I am. |
| 00:40:18 |
Company, forward! |
| 00:40:24 |
Lift up your heads ye gates of brass |
| 00:40:29 |
Ye bars of iron yield |
| 00:40:33 |
And let the king of glory |
| 00:40:37 |
Pass the crosses in the field |
| 00:40:42 |
That banner brighter |
| 00:40:46 |
Than the star that leaves a trail of light |
| 00:41:20 |
Greetings, Uncle. |
| 00:41:22 |
'Tis a fair day for a fight. |
| 00:41:25 |
My lords, I present my nephew. |
| 00:41:27 |
His Highness, Prince Rupert, |
| 00:41:30 |
- My lords, I give you greetings. |
| 00:41:33 |
And good Cousin Charles, |
| 00:41:36 |
- How fare you, young sir? |
| 00:41:40 |
So, let us to action. |
| 00:41:44 |
...within a week we'll have severed |
| 00:41:48 |
- Well said, Your Highness. |
| 00:42:16 |
Get those guns moving! |
| 00:43:16 |
Thou shalt proclaim his life |
| 00:43:21 |
Though granted... |
| 00:43:26 |
Halt! |
| 00:43:27 |
Halt! |
| 00:43:31 |
- Where the devil are we? |
| 00:43:37 |
- Morning, Robert. |
| 00:43:39 |
Damn me, |
| 00:43:42 |
- Where's Cromwell? |
| 00:43:57 |
- Morning, Cromwell. |
| 00:43:59 |
- Your men fit, colonel? |
| 00:44:03 |
You seem eager to get |
| 00:44:06 |
We all enter this reluctantly, |
| 00:44:09 |
- Is that not so, Lord Essex? |
| 00:44:13 |
Well, to your position. Let no man |
| 00:44:17 |
- May God look kindly upon us this day. |
| 00:44:21 |
Missed my breakfast. |
| 00:44:31 |
- God be with you, men. |
| 00:44:34 |
- God be with you. |
| 00:44:36 |
- The Lord'll take care of me. |
| 00:44:39 |
I have, squire. Come on, lads. |
| 00:44:42 |
Have your muskets at the ready. |
| 00:44:46 |
- Father. |
| 00:44:50 |
- And be with you, Oliver. |
| 00:44:57 |
"O Lord, defend our cause |
| 00:45:02 |
Save us from the violence of the |
| 00:45:06 |
...fight for us |
| 00:45:10 |
O Lord, God of mercy. |
| 00:45:13 |
Put thy strength in our hands this day. |
| 00:45:16 |
Give not the battle to the strong, |
| 00:45:20 |
And be thou, O merciful God, |
| 00:45:26 |
Defend me from them that rise up |
| 00:45:29 |
- In the name of Jesus Christ. |
| 00:45:31 |
Amen. |
| 00:45:33 |
- Amen. |
| 00:45:35 |
Father, look. It's Lord Essex. |
| 00:45:50 |
Come, cousin. |
| 00:45:52 |
Let's take a good look |
| 00:46:10 |
God's teeth, have we not parleyed |
| 00:46:14 |
- Well, Essex, are you prepared? |
| 00:46:18 |
Make it 9, my lord. |
| 00:46:20 |
Then in God's name, let's to it. |
| 00:46:22 |
- It's agreed then, 9:00. |
| 00:46:26 |
...I swear that within the hour, this field |
| 00:46:30 |
If this be so, they will have |
| 00:46:34 |
For we have not seen fit to import |
| 00:46:41 |
I will mark you well for that insult, sir. |
| 00:46:54 |
Colours to the rear! |
| 00:46:56 |
Colours to the rear! |
| 00:47:03 |
The Lord is our strength. |
| 00:47:20 |
What in the name of God |
| 00:47:24 |
Ireton! |
| 00:47:26 |
- I thought we came here to do battle. |
| 00:47:31 |
The appointed time? |
| 00:47:41 |
- Colonel Hampden, commence firing! |
| 00:47:49 |
What the devil is that fool doing? |
| 00:47:54 |
Artillery, commence firing! |
| 00:47:57 |
Fire! |
| 00:48:09 |
O Lord, thou knowest how busy |
| 00:48:13 |
If I forget thee, do not thou forget me. |
| 00:48:27 |
Fire! |
| 00:48:32 |
Fire! |
| 00:48:39 |
You'd better send Fairfax in. |
| 00:48:42 |
Bugler, sound the charge. |
| 00:48:47 |
Troop at the gallop. |
| 00:48:49 |
Advance! |
| 00:49:17 |
- Signal Astley to advance. |
| 00:49:28 |
The sport begins. |
| 00:49:31 |
Tallyho! |
| 00:49:40 |
Troops rear left. At a gallop, charge! |
| 00:50:26 |
Give fire! |
| 00:50:30 |
Advance! |
| 00:50:33 |
Advance! |
| 00:50:35 |
Fire! |
| 00:50:38 |
Advance pike! |
| 00:50:44 |
Charge pike! |
| 00:50:48 |
Fire! Second rank forward! |
| 00:51:22 |
At the gallop! |
| 00:51:38 |
It's getting too damned close |
| 00:51:45 |
- Sound general retreat. |
| 00:52:05 |
Why in the name of Christ |
| 00:52:08 |
You've countermined my orders |
| 00:52:30 |
Hold your ground, in the name of God! |
| 00:52:32 |
Hold your ground! |
| 00:53:02 |
Well, Uncle, did you ever see a quarry |
| 00:53:07 |
The king will forever keep this field |
| 00:53:11 |
...in grateful remembrance. |
| 00:53:51 |
Come nightfall, we shall bury our dead. |
| 00:53:54 |
And then, by God, |
| 00:53:57 |
With pitiful men in our ranks, it were |
| 00:54:01 |
Not a drop of English blood |
| 00:54:04 |
It's a bad officer who blames his men, |
| 00:54:07 |
I blame them not, my lord, |
| 00:54:10 |
But what match are farmer's boys |
| 00:54:14 |
The battle is not yet lost, Cromwell. |
| 00:54:16 |
This battle were lost before it began. |
| 00:54:18 |
And in like manner, so will this war. |
| 00:54:21 |
In the morning, |
| 00:54:23 |
If you desert the field, |
| 00:54:26 |
This war will not be won |
| 00:54:29 |
...apprentices, |
| 00:54:32 |
We need men with fire in their bowels |
| 00:54:37 |
As God is my witness, I am |
| 00:54:41 |
Therefore, it's my intention |
| 00:54:44 |
...and handpick an army... |
| 00:54:46 |
...the like of which this nation |
| 00:54:48 |
With or without your permission, |
| 00:57:12 |
Bristol will not be permitted to fall. |
| 00:57:16 |
If General Goring's |
| 00:57:18 |
...I'll dispatch someone who can. |
| 00:57:20 |
I've a mind to see Bristol, my lord. |
| 00:57:24 |
Then I place Bristol in your command, |
| 00:57:27 |
- Your Majesty. |
| 00:57:29 |
News of Cromwell's army, |
| 00:57:31 |
- Come forward. |
| 00:57:34 |
- Well, speak, man. |
| 00:57:37 |
Just south of Naseby. |
| 00:57:39 |
By my reckoning, there be |
| 00:57:42 |
- And what news of Manchester's army? |
| 00:57:47 |
Was not Cromwell to join |
| 00:57:51 |
- That was our intelligence. |
| 00:57:54 |
So Cromwell comes |
| 00:58:01 |
- By your leave, Uncle. Your Highness. |
| 00:58:05 |
I want every man in full battle order |
| 00:58:07 |
By God, we have him! |
| 00:58:19 |
Manchester! |
| 00:58:23 |
Where in the name of Christ is he? |
| 00:58:26 |
Know you not we are at war? |
| 00:58:30 |
In God's name I do swear |
| 00:58:35 |
Oliver. |
| 00:58:51 |
What bloody treachery is this? |
| 00:58:54 |
We came to meet Manchester |
| 00:58:58 |
Well, I shall take on the king. |
| 00:58:59 |
And after that if needs must, |
| 00:59:24 |
Before you stands the enemy, |
| 00:59:28 |
And where, in God's name, |
| 00:59:31 |
My Lord Manchester will rue the day |
| 00:59:35 |
And now to your positions. |
| 00:59:37 |
These tactics we have practiced |
| 00:59:40 |
...now let us put them to the test. |
| 00:59:42 |
For upon this field of Naseby, |
| 00:59:49 |
God be with you all. |
| 00:59:58 |
Is this wise, Oliver? |
| 01:00:02 |
Was not Gideon outnumbered |
| 01:00:04 |
It is not numbers that count, |
| 01:00:10 |
Let no man move, except upon |
| 01:00:16 |
Though we be outnumbered, |
| 01:00:20 |
I promise you! |
| 01:00:22 |
So now put your faith in God |
| 01:01:11 |
Halt! |
| 01:01:48 |
Attack order. Double line abreast. |
| 01:01:51 |
- Forward. |
| 01:02:11 |
The man must be mad. |
| 01:02:13 |
Prepare to attack. |
| 01:02:15 |
Prepare to attack! |
| 01:02:23 |
Our swords are in God's hand. |
| 01:02:25 |
And our faith is in the Lord. |
| 01:02:28 |
Charge! |
| 01:02:33 |
Fire! |
| 01:02:40 |
Forward! |
| 01:03:10 |
Cromwell! |
| 01:03:19 |
Regroup! Regroup! |
| 01:03:25 |
After them! |
| 01:03:49 |
Advance! |
| 01:03:59 |
To the rear! |
| 01:04:12 |
Forward! |
| 01:04:24 |
Come on, lads! |
| 01:04:26 |
At the gallop! |
| 01:04:55 |
Your Majesty, may I suggest |
| 01:04:57 |
No. |
| 01:06:06 |
Who goes there? |
| 01:06:10 |
Captain Cromwell, 3rd Cavalry. |
| 01:06:13 |
Richard. |
| 01:06:15 |
Thanks be to God. |
| 01:06:17 |
Where is Oliver? |
| 01:07:22 |
The outrageous incompetence |
| 01:07:26 |
...of the high command |
| 01:07:29 |
...and that of my hard-pressed army |
| 01:07:33 |
By my faith, I swear it would be better |
| 01:07:38 |
...Essex and Manchester, |
| 01:07:42 |
For then might we be |
| 01:07:47 |
For by their reluctance to pursue |
| 01:07:52 |
...they have proved treacherous |
| 01:07:57 |
Hear, hear. |
| 01:07:59 |
If we beat the king 99 times... |
| 01:08:03 |
...he will still be our king |
| 01:08:07 |
If he beats us but once, |
| 01:08:11 |
If that is so, then why |
| 01:08:16 |
...did we take up arms against him |
| 01:08:25 |
Gentlemen... |
| 01:08:29 |
...honest men |
| 01:08:34 |
...and many have died... |
| 01:08:36 |
...that this House may sit in freedom |
| 01:08:42 |
In the name of God, I beseech you... |
| 01:08:46 |
...do not desert them now. |
| 01:08:56 |
Unless Parliament supports |
| 01:08:59 |
...I am bound to say, in all conscience, |
| 01:09:04 |
...and let this House |
| 01:09:07 |
...be that peace ever so base. |
| 01:09:16 |
Then, it is for this House to decide. |
| 01:09:21 |
I move that this House demands... |
| 01:09:23 |
...the immediate resignation |
| 01:09:26 |
...on the grounds that they be |
| 01:09:29 |
...to command the armed forces |
| 01:09:35 |
Order. Order. Order! |
| 01:09:38 |
The motion has been proposed. |
| 01:09:41 |
- Those against Cromwell's motion. |
| 01:09:44 |
- Those in favour of the motion. |
| 01:09:47 |
The ayes have it. |
| 01:09:52 |
I move... |
| 01:09:54 |
I move that Colonel Cromwell |
| 01:09:58 |
...commander in chief of the army. |
| 01:10:00 |
Yeah! |
| 01:10:25 |
Bristol. We must dispatch aid |
| 01:10:30 |
...for as long as Rupert holds Bristol, |
| 01:10:33 |
General Digby, if you can detach |
| 01:10:36 |
...and approach Bristol from the east... |
| 01:10:39 |
To do that, my lord, would be |
| 01:10:46 |
Then we move |
| 01:10:49 |
The marquis, my lord, surrendered |
| 01:10:54 |
Cromwell. I hear nothing |
| 01:10:57 |
My lord, it is but a game we play here... |
| 01:11:00 |
...a game with wooden armies |
| 01:11:05 |
'Tis but a block of wood |
| 01:11:08 |
- My lords, all I ask for is a little time. |
| 01:11:16 |
If we can hold on here |
| 01:11:19 |
...the Scots have promised an army |
| 01:11:23 |
Her Majesty is in communication |
| 01:11:29 |
...and I have good reason to hope |
| 01:11:33 |
An army from Ireland, Your Majesty? |
| 01:11:36 |
I would as soon join forces |
| 01:11:39 |
...as take up arms with the Catholics! |
| 01:11:41 |
I am the king and defender |
| 01:11:44 |
...and I maintain the right to seek |
| 01:11:48 |
As king, it is your duty |
| 01:11:51 |
I do what I think to be right. |
| 01:11:53 |
- Catholics as allies! |
| 01:11:56 |
My God, if it has come to this... |
| 01:11:58 |
...let us rather sue for an honourable |
| 01:12:04 |
I will not countenance defeat. |
| 01:12:08 |
Rather than abandon |
| 01:12:11 |
...I would come to terms |
| 01:12:16 |
Since you came |
| 01:12:19 |
...your armies have persistently |
| 01:12:24 |
And yet, now that your need is great, |
| 01:12:30 |
The king's actions in Ireland, |
| 01:12:33 |
...will seem as nothing should |
| 01:12:36 |
It is not only the Crown of England |
| 01:12:41 |
...all institutions of established order... |
| 01:12:44 |
...throughout the countries |
| 01:12:47 |
An Irish army of 20,000 men, |
| 01:12:51 |
...would forestall such a threat... |
| 01:12:54 |
...and bring this wretched war |
| 01:12:59 |
I am instructed to say |
| 01:13:02 |
...would permit an Irish force |
| 01:13:08 |
But there are certain conditions. |
| 01:13:10 |
First, the Catholic Church in Ireland |
| 01:13:16 |
...and permitted to practice freely |
| 01:13:20 |
Secondly, all Protestant churches |
| 01:13:25 |
...and all Protestant bishops |
| 01:13:30 |
Oh, there are one or two other |
| 01:13:35 |
What you demand, Excellency, |
| 01:13:38 |
...of my coronation oath |
| 01:13:42 |
You have a duty, Charles, to the Crown. |
| 01:13:45 |
For without that, |
| 01:13:49 |
May I tell His Holiness |
| 01:14:01 |
You have something to say, |
| 01:14:04 |
His Highness Prince Rupert |
| 01:14:08 |
- Rupert? Here in Oxford? |
| 01:14:12 |
I fear Bristol has fallen. |
| 01:14:21 |
- Your Excellency will excuse me. |
| 01:14:28 |
My lords, His Majesty. |
| 01:14:39 |
Do you not rise, sir, |
| 01:14:42 |
Rise, sir! Or to your knees in shame. |
| 01:14:50 |
You did give me |
| 01:14:53 |
...that you would hold Bristol |
| 01:14:56 |
You have not held it for four weeks! |
| 01:14:58 |
You promised mountains, |
| 01:15:03 |
You make a knave of your king. |
| 01:15:05 |
My lord... |
| 01:15:07 |
...we were besieged on all sides. |
| 01:15:10 |
Our men were foot-weary from battle, |
| 01:15:15 |
Yet you contrived |
| 01:15:19 |
I have brought you an army, my lord. |
| 01:15:23 |
An army 2000 strong, ready |
| 01:15:28 |
In exchange for all the corn and stores |
| 01:15:32 |
- That was the price of your freedom. |
| 01:15:36 |
You deserted your command, sir. |
| 01:15:40 |
I made a military decision. |
| 01:15:43 |
A decision that may have |
| 01:16:01 |
Your action in this matter |
| 01:16:07 |
...that it is the greatest trial |
| 01:16:14 |
My conclusion is... |
| 01:16:16 |
...to desire you to seek subsistence |
| 01:16:29 |
Most gracious lord... |
| 01:16:32 |
...I do not crave forgiveness, |
| 01:16:36 |
...I do solemnly swear |
| 01:16:39 |
The matter is at an end. |
| 01:16:41 |
My lord! |
| 01:16:44 |
My lord, I beseech you. |
| 01:16:48 |
In God's name, allow that I may die |
| 01:16:52 |
Captain Lundsford. |
| 01:16:54 |
Do not put upon these shoulders the |
| 01:16:58 |
I beg you, take my life, |
| 01:17:03 |
Good Uncle... |
| 01:17:05 |
...for pity's sake! |
| 01:17:08 |
His Highness is to be kept |
| 01:17:11 |
...until such time as he is deported. |
| 01:17:14 |
Very well, Your Majesty. |
| 01:18:57 |
Father, Mother says I'm to go |
| 01:19:02 |
- Is that your wish, Father? |
| 01:19:06 |
My duty is to stay here with you |
| 01:19:09 |
Your place now is at |
| 01:19:12 |
You will help her raise money, |
| 01:19:18 |
Should I meet death, |
| 01:19:22 |
...then England will still have, |
| 01:19:28 |
You will go with your mother. |
| 01:19:39 |
I love this land... |
| 01:19:42 |
...and when this great responsibility |
| 01:19:47 |
...then I pray that with God's help... |
| 01:19:50 |
...you will reign more happily |
| 01:19:58 |
Now go, with God's speed |
| 01:20:11 |
Oh, Charles. |
| 01:20:35 |
I love you. |
| 01:21:28 |
Your Majesty, it is my most solemn |
| 01:21:34 |
- By whose command, sir? |
| 01:21:40 |
I know of no authority in England |
| 01:21:47 |
It is upon that issue |
| 01:21:54 |
- Whither am I to be taken? |
| 01:21:59 |
- You must grant me a little time to... |
| 01:22:03 |
- And my children, what of them? |
| 01:22:07 |
His Majesty will have |
| 01:22:11 |
As for your children, sir, |
| 01:22:18 |
I thank you, sir. |
| 01:22:36 |
Him serve with fear |
| 01:22:38 |
His praise foretell |
| 01:22:43 |
Come ye before him |
| 01:22:46 |
And rejoice |
| 01:22:51 |
The Lord ye know |
| 01:22:54 |
Is God indeed |
| 01:22:59 |
Without our aid |
| 01:23:01 |
He did us mak e |
| 01:23:06 |
We are his flock |
| 01:23:08 |
General, John Pym is dead. |
| 01:23:13 |
And for his sheep |
| 01:23:16 |
He doth us tak e |
| 01:23:22 |
- When did it happen? |
| 01:23:25 |
- What is it? |
| 01:23:29 |
Parliament is discussing |
| 01:23:32 |
Does the army have no say in this? |
| 01:23:34 |
The army has been ordered to disband. |
| 01:23:36 |
In God's name, did we fight this war... |
| 01:23:38 |
...that the politicians should take over |
| 01:23:41 |
If Parliament has decided |
| 01:23:44 |
...then the army will disband. |
| 01:23:46 |
- I say we march on Parliament. |
| 01:23:51 |
We fought to institute |
| 01:23:54 |
...and overthrow the very tyranny |
| 01:23:58 |
And who is talking to the king? |
| 01:24:01 |
I doubt it. I warrant I know |
| 01:24:08 |
I have these past three days been in |
| 01:24:14 |
And I am pleased to inform the House... |
| 01:24:16 |
...that the king is now prepared |
| 01:24:20 |
...provided that the army stand down. |
| 01:24:25 |
I have given this House's assurance |
| 01:24:31 |
Further, in recognition |
| 01:24:34 |
...this House owes its commander, |
| 01:24:37 |
...it is proposed to award him a pension |
| 01:24:41 |
...together with certain estates |
| 01:24:47 |
It is further proposed that the sum |
| 01:24:55 |
Such low treachery is not worthy |
| 01:25:02 |
Am I to believe my ears? |
| 01:25:05 |
Did this nation win a bloody civil war... |
| 01:25:08 |
...in order the king |
| 01:25:11 |
I have discussed the matter |
| 01:25:15 |
You have discussed it? |
| 01:25:19 |
Hear, hear! |
| 01:25:20 |
The king will not come to terms, sir, |
| 01:25:25 |
Hear, hear. |
| 01:25:26 |
And the army will not stand down |
| 01:25:32 |
So if the king |
| 01:25:34 |
...then let the king talk to the army. |
| 01:25:37 |
- Out of the question. |
| 01:25:40 |
Parliament is behind us, sir, and |
| 01:25:51 |
Sir Thomas Fairfax. |
| 01:26:07 |
- He's bringing in the army! |
| 01:26:11 |
Order, I say! |
| 01:26:14 |
Order! Silence! |
| 01:26:18 |
Order! |
| 01:26:20 |
Silence! |
| 01:26:22 |
Order! |
| 01:26:24 |
I believe, my Lord Manchester, |
| 01:26:29 |
This is dictatorship. |
| 01:26:34 |
Order! |
| 01:26:37 |
Honourable members... |
| 01:26:40 |
...I swear before my God |
| 01:26:45 |
When those liberties for which |
| 01:26:48 |
...have fought so hard |
| 01:26:52 |
...then this army will stand down. |
| 01:26:55 |
And upon that, |
| 01:27:26 |
- And who have we here? |
| 01:27:30 |
You were supposed to have run, |
| 01:27:33 |
I'm afraid I'm getting a little too old |
| 01:27:37 |
Cromwell is here to see you. |
| 01:27:44 |
You must play on your own |
| 01:27:47 |
Your father has other games to play. |
| 01:27:51 |
Prince Henry, you will be good enough |
| 01:27:56 |
Sir. |
| 01:28:11 |
Gentlemen, His Majesty. |
| 01:28:22 |
We came to present our terms, my lord. |
| 01:28:24 |
If Your Majesty will be so kind |
| 01:28:28 |
- Has Parliament approved this treaty? |
| 01:28:32 |
...represents the people of this nation, |
| 01:28:35 |
And you, Mr. Cromwell... |
| 01:28:36 |
...do you truly represent |
| 01:28:40 |
I represent the army, sir... |
| 01:28:43 |
...and the army is the heart |
| 01:28:46 |
So having failed to come |
| 01:28:51 |
...you would now negotiate |
| 01:28:55 |
I am not bound |
| 01:28:58 |
With 50,000 men under my command... |
| 01:29:01 |
...I could impose a government |
| 01:29:04 |
One is given to wondering, |
| 01:29:09 |
I am convinced, my lord, |
| 01:29:12 |
...to frame a constitutional government, |
| 01:29:15 |
Then I do not see that |
| 01:29:19 |
On the contrary, sir. |
| 01:29:21 |
An England without a king |
| 01:29:25 |
But withal, a king |
| 01:29:28 |
...a monarch who governs, |
| 01:29:31 |
...but by the affection of a free people. |
| 01:29:35 |
Such a king could reunite |
| 01:29:39 |
...and make the name of England |
| 01:29:44 |
Should you adorn |
| 01:29:46 |
...all Englishmen would be proud |
| 01:29:51 |
Mr. Cromwell, I do confess that |
| 01:29:55 |
...for I did mark you |
| 01:29:59 |
To these ends, my lord, |
| 01:30:04 |
Then you have my respect, sir. |
| 01:30:07 |
Thank you, my lord. |
| 01:30:12 |
- We shall return in the morning, sir. |
| 01:30:17 |
...this document. Perhaps a week. |
| 01:30:19 |
As Your Majesty pleases. |
| 01:30:21 |
I sincerely hope that our future |
| 01:30:27 |
That is my hope also, my lord. |
| 01:30:35 |
A cunning fellow. |
| 01:30:37 |
- I believe him to be a sincere man. |
| 01:30:41 |
If these proposals be acceptable... |
| 01:30:43 |
...there never was a crown |
| 01:30:47 |
Whatever these proposals |
| 01:30:51 |
...they are not acceptable to the king. |
| 01:31:00 |
- Cromwell has betrayed us! |
| 01:31:02 |
We have given our blood and our lives |
| 01:31:07 |
If Cromwell |
| 01:31:09 |
...what price our freedom then? |
| 01:31:12 |
Get back, will you?! |
| 01:31:14 |
I have served General Cromwell |
| 01:31:20 |
...and I reckoned him to be a man who |
| 01:31:26 |
But in this business he has shown |
| 01:31:32 |
Aye! |
| 01:31:34 |
We fought this war |
| 01:31:39 |
...not to put him back on the throne! |
| 01:31:41 |
- Aye! |
| 01:31:46 |
...let us take Parliament... |
| 01:31:48 |
...and then let the king |
| 01:31:57 |
Make way for Cromwell. |
| 01:31:58 |
Traitors! Mutineers! |
| 01:32:03 |
I don't have to tell you, any of you, |
| 01:32:07 |
We are not serfs, general, |
| 01:32:10 |
We fought for the Lord in our cause, |
| 01:32:14 |
You have no rights |
| 01:32:18 |
As for you, John Carter, I did expect |
| 01:32:23 |
I am still loyal to what I fought for. |
| 01:32:27 |
I have not betrayed my God, |
| 01:32:31 |
Where was your conscience this day, |
| 01:32:35 |
I tell you, all of you... |
| 01:32:38 |
...I do most honestly believe that we |
| 01:32:43 |
And he will prove most honourable. |
| 01:32:48 |
Traitor! Traitor! |
| 01:32:50 |
This is a military camp, sir, |
| 01:32:54 |
Under military law, any man inciting |
| 01:32:57 |
- Colonel Harrison? |
| 01:32:59 |
These three men will draw lots. |
| 01:33:03 |
- Captain Lancing, get a length of rope. |
| 01:33:06 |
- You, man, pick up some straws. |
| 01:33:31 |
General, there is a Sir Edward Hyde |
| 01:33:43 |
Sir Edward, has the king |
| 01:33:46 |
The king, sir, has not |
| 01:33:49 |
Nor, will I venture, |
| 01:33:53 |
He has drawn up a secret treaty |
| 01:33:56 |
...to raise a Scottish army |
| 01:34:00 |
He has already consented |
| 01:34:05 |
While you negotiate |
| 01:34:07 |
...he is planning a second civil war. |
| 01:34:16 |
I do confess that I have these many |
| 01:34:21 |
...not worthy of the title, |
| 01:34:30 |
Colonel Harrison! |
| 01:34:54 |
I will have this king's head... |
| 01:34:57 |
...aye, and the crown upon it. |
| 01:35:04 |
This obstinate king, |
| 01:35:09 |
...whose heart God has hardened, |
| 01:35:13 |
...for in prodigious treason, |
| 01:35:18 |
A man of no honour. |
| 01:35:20 |
A man unfitted to bear the title, |
| 01:35:25 |
Hear, hear. |
| 01:35:28 |
I demand, therefore, |
| 01:35:31 |
...and the people of this nation |
| 01:35:35 |
...be brought hence to stand trial |
| 01:35:45 |
Oyez, oyez, oyez. |
| 01:35:49 |
All manner of persons... |
| 01:35:50 |
...having anything to do |
| 01:35:52 |
...come forward |
| 01:35:55 |
Every man to keep silence |
| 01:35:59 |
God save the king. |
| 01:36:23 |
Let the prisoner be brought in. |
| 01:37:03 |
The clerk of arraigns |
| 01:37:09 |
Charles Stuart, king of England... |
| 01:37:13 |
...you stand before this court |
| 01:37:16 |
In that being admitted king of England, |
| 01:37:20 |
...to govern according to the laws, |
| 01:37:24 |
...erect and uphold in yourself |
| 01:37:29 |
To rule at your will and overthrow |
| 01:37:33 |
And that you did traitorously |
| 01:37:39 |
...against Parliament and the people. |
| 01:37:41 |
And are therefore guilty of all the |
| 01:37:47 |
...desolations, damages and mischiefs |
| 01:37:52 |
Thus, on behalf |
| 01:37:55 |
...this court impeaches you |
| 01:37:58 |
...traitor, murderer and public enemy |
| 01:38:03 |
God save the king! |
| 01:38:05 |
Silence! |
| 01:38:10 |
Sir, you have heard |
| 01:38:15 |
The court expects an answer. |
| 01:38:17 |
First, I would know by what authority, |
| 01:38:23 |
...I am brought here and carried from |
| 01:38:27 |
And by what authority you presume |
| 01:38:31 |
Remember, I am your lawful king. |
| 01:38:35 |
Think well upon it. |
| 01:38:37 |
I have a trust committed to me by God, |
| 01:38:42 |
Therefore, let me know by what |
| 01:38:46 |
...and I shall answer. |
| 01:38:48 |
It is not for the prisoner |
| 01:38:53 |
I am no ordinary prisoner, sir. |
| 01:38:57 |
An answer, sir, |
| 01:39:03 |
Then I refuse an answer. |
| 01:39:04 |
Sir, you are before a court of justice. |
| 01:39:09 |
Well, sir... |
| 01:39:11 |
...I see that I am before a power. |
| 01:39:16 |
The court will keep silent. |
| 01:39:19 |
Mr. Solicitor General, |
| 01:39:22 |
- They are, my lord. |
| 01:39:25 |
Call Sir Edward Hyde. |
| 01:39:35 |
And you saw the king and his wife |
| 01:39:40 |
...with this Catholic Archbishop |
| 01:39:44 |
I did. |
| 01:39:46 |
And what did you assume |
| 01:39:58 |
- You are obliged to answer, Sir Edward. |
| 01:40:05 |
To fight against |
| 01:40:10 |
And at this time, was the king |
| 01:40:13 |
...with any other foreign power? |
| 01:40:18 |
Yes. Yes, with the king of France |
| 01:40:23 |
- For the same purpose? |
| 01:40:27 |
To raise a foreign army |
| 01:40:32 |
...and to perpetuate the war |
| 01:40:44 |
Sir Edward? |
| 01:40:49 |
Yes. |
| 01:40:53 |
To the block with him! |
| 01:41:37 |
Sir, throughout the three days |
| 01:41:41 |
...this court has patiently awaited |
| 01:41:44 |
...to hear what you have to say |
| 01:41:48 |
Yet you have declined to speak. |
| 01:41:50 |
I am most willing, sir, |
| 01:41:54 |
...but not before this assembly... |
| 01:41:58 |
...whose authority |
| 01:42:02 |
Sir, what answers you may offer |
| 01:42:06 |
For this court does sit |
| 01:42:10 |
Sir, if, as you have said, you do love |
| 01:42:14 |
...you will grant me, your king, |
| 01:42:18 |
...which is the lords and commons |
| 01:42:23 |
Sir, I submit you seek only to delay |
| 01:42:26 |
By your favour, sir, |
| 01:42:30 |
...which, as your king, |
| 01:42:37 |
Silence! |
| 01:42:41 |
Sir, this court requires to know |
| 01:42:44 |
...before judgement is passed |
| 01:42:47 |
I have nothing to say to you. |
| 01:42:52 |
Then this court |
| 01:42:59 |
What ails thee? Art thou mad? |
| 01:43:01 |
Have we come thus far |
| 01:43:04 |
There is nothing in the Constitution |
| 01:43:08 |
...to bring a king to trial. |
| 01:43:11 |
- The trial is clearly illegal, and l... |
| 01:43:16 |
The king, sir, |
| 01:43:19 |
When he dies, |
| 01:43:22 |
- We have gone too far. |
| 01:43:25 |
- Our authority lies with the Parliament. |
| 01:43:30 |
If the charges against this king |
| 01:43:33 |
...what terrible retribution may he not |
| 01:43:37 |
In the name of God! |
| 01:43:39 |
What are we all? |
| 01:43:43 |
Cowering and quivering |
| 01:43:49 |
The king is not England, |
| 01:43:58 |
It is not the survival of the king |
| 01:44:05 |
It is the survival of England. |
| 01:44:10 |
And this king, by his dishonesties, |
| 01:44:16 |
...and by his secret treaties |
| 01:44:19 |
...has shown himself to be ill-fitted |
| 01:44:29 |
As God is my witness, Oliver, |
| 01:44:34 |
...but the settlement of this nation |
| 01:44:37 |
Do you think I don't desire that? |
| 01:44:52 |
Very well. |
| 01:44:57 |
Offer him once more our terms. |
| 01:45:00 |
Though God knows, he should be |
| 01:45:03 |
Tell him he may sit upon his throne... |
| 01:45:06 |
...but that this country will be governed |
| 01:45:09 |
...and Parliament will be elected |
| 01:45:13 |
Now, Sir Thomas, if you can |
| 01:45:18 |
...this trial will end. |
| 01:45:36 |
Here is a warrant |
| 01:45:39 |
...upon the charge of high treason |
| 01:45:43 |
It will require all your signatures. |
| 01:45:51 |
I have come thus far with you, Oliver, |
| 01:45:56 |
...but I will not sign this warrant. |
| 01:46:21 |
- Oliver, I cannot. He is the king. |
| 01:46:24 |
- Is he guilty? |
| 01:46:25 |
Sign it. |
| 01:46:58 |
Charles Stuart, king of England... |
| 01:47:03 |
...you have been found guilty |
| 01:47:06 |
...against the good people |
| 01:47:09 |
...represented in Parliament |
| 01:47:11 |
...this court sits in judgement |
| 01:47:15 |
Upon this charge |
| 01:47:19 |
...that you be taken hence to an... |
| 01:47:24 |
Appointed place. |
| 01:47:27 |
And put to death by |
| 01:47:31 |
And that is the sentence |
| 01:47:36 |
- Remove the prisoner. |
| 01:47:39 |
- Will you hear me a word, sir? |
| 01:47:42 |
- You're not to be heard after sentence. |
| 01:47:46 |
I know as much law as any man here. |
| 01:47:50 |
No, sir. |
| 01:47:56 |
I demand to be heard! |
| 01:48:03 |
Blood for the traitor! |
| 01:49:08 |
- General. |
| 01:49:17 |
I have been this past night |
| 01:49:21 |
They have instructed me |
| 01:49:24 |
...this warrant for 40,000 pounds... |
| 01:49:28 |
...in return for the king's life. |
| 01:49:40 |
How little you know me. That you think |
| 01:49:49 |
You insult me with that cheap bribe. |
| 01:49:59 |
Will you not think on it? |
| 01:50:01 |
I have thought on it. And well. |
| 01:50:09 |
By my God, I have thought on it. |
| 01:50:16 |
"Then the soldiers of the governor |
| 01:50:21 |
And they stripped him |
| 01:50:24 |
And when they had platted a crown |
| 01:50:28 |
They bowed before him |
| 01:50:31 |
...saying, 'Hail, king of the Jews! ' |
| 01:50:35 |
- Your Majesty. |
| 01:50:38 |
No, Your Majesty. Her Royal Highness, |
| 01:50:42 |
...and his Royal Highness, |
| 01:50:47 |
Elizabeth, sweetheart. |
| 01:50:54 |
Don't grieve for me. |
| 01:51:02 |
Now, both of you... |
| 01:51:11 |
...mark what I say. |
| 01:51:19 |
They will cut off thy father's head. |
| 01:51:24 |
Henry, pay careful attention |
| 01:51:29 |
You must not let them make you king. |
| 01:51:32 |
Not while your brother Charles |
| 01:51:36 |
- I would be torn to pieces first. |
| 01:51:41 |
Today, your brother will be king. |
| 01:51:46 |
Elizabeth, now. |
| 01:51:50 |
It's a glorious death to which I go. |
| 01:51:56 |
Tell your mother... |
| 01:52:02 |
...that my love for her |
| 01:52:09 |
And remember me in your prayers. |
| 01:52:18 |
- The king's escort, Your Majesty. |
| 01:52:24 |
God bless you both. |
| 01:52:45 |
What kind of morning is it, colonel? |
| 01:52:47 |
Indeed it is somewhat chilly, |
| 01:52:51 |
Then I was wise |
| 01:52:55 |
For if I trembled with the cold, |
| 01:52:59 |
I would not expose myself |
| 01:53:06 |
- Please keep them. |
| 01:53:12 |
I do not fear death, Sir Thomas. |
| 01:53:15 |
It is not at all terrible to me. |
| 01:53:21 |
I thank my God I have prepared for it. |
| 01:53:24 |
Are we to ride to Westminster, or walk? |
| 01:53:27 |
My orders are that we walk, |
| 01:53:31 |
Admirable. |
| 01:53:47 |
The king's coming. |
| 01:53:50 |
- He's coming now. The king's coming! |
| 01:53:55 |
Gentlemen, the king comes. |
| 01:54:06 |
- Traitor! |
| 01:54:12 |
Execute him! |
| 01:54:20 |
- And a true, urgent sword in our hand. |
| 01:54:24 |
God bless you. |
| 01:54:33 |
Escort, halt! |
| 01:55:50 |
Well, gentlemen, are you afraid to kill |
| 01:56:08 |
I will not delay you long, |
| 01:56:12 |
As God is my witness, I have forgiven |
| 01:56:19 |
And pray that my death |
| 01:56:23 |
For I do endeavour even to the last... |
| 01:56:26 |
...to maintain the peace |
| 01:56:33 |
I go now... |
| 01:56:35 |
...from a corruptible |
| 01:56:42 |
To everlasting peace. |
| 01:57:09 |
Will that suffice? |
| 01:57:26 |
Permit me, sir, that I may pray a while |
| 01:57:30 |
Then when I put out my hands so: |
| 01:57:35 |
That will be the sign. |
| 01:57:49 |
Lord, let thy servant |
| 01:57:52 |
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation |
| 01:57:56 |
Glory be to the Father, Son, |
| 01:57:58 |
As it was in the beginning is now |
| 01:58:14 |
Behold the head of a traitor! |
| 01:58:48 |
We did not assassinate. |
| 01:58:51 |
Nor was this done in a corner, |
| 01:58:54 |
...and of all men. |
| 01:58:57 |
The office of king is now abolished. |
| 01:59:01 |
- Long live the Republic. |
| 01:59:17 |
Richard, |
| 01:59:21 |
- Will you come with me, son? |
| 01:59:25 |
It will be peace and quiet there now. |
| 01:59:29 |
God knows, |
| 02:00:12 |
You must not think on it, Oliver. |
| 02:00:16 |
'Tis over now. |
| 02:00:21 |
'Tis over and done. |
| 02:00:31 |
Oliver, you're home now. |
| 02:00:36 |
There's nothing more to think on. |
| 02:00:40 |
Save that we two may grow old |
| 02:00:51 |
Peace. |
| 02:01:25 |
Father. |
| 02:01:28 |
Henry Ireton is at the house |
| 02:01:35 |
I'll be along shortly. |
| 02:02:21 |
Tom. |
| 02:02:24 |
Arthur. |
| 02:02:29 |
Henry. |
| 02:02:36 |
Well, you all seem solemn enough. |
| 02:02:39 |
It is a solemn business |
| 02:02:42 |
Well, speak of it. |
| 02:02:47 |
The country needs a head of state. |
| 02:02:50 |
- Is it not governed by Parliament? |
| 02:02:54 |
It is our tradition. |
| 02:02:58 |
God knows, |
| 02:03:06 |
The country will be ruled |
| 02:03:10 |
Now, in the name of Christ, |
| 02:03:14 |
- And who will control Parliament? |
| 02:03:19 |
- It's not practical. It won't work. |
| 02:03:25 |
We are here, on behalf of Parliament, |
| 02:03:35 |
To offer... |
| 02:03:41 |
Me, king of England? |
| 02:04:10 |
King Oliver I of England. |
| 02:04:20 |
Elizabeth, tell me, |
| 02:04:25 |
This tired, sickening man, |
| 02:04:29 |
...crude in speech and manner? |
| 02:04:37 |
This rough fellow... |
| 02:04:42 |
...does he display the bearing |
| 02:04:50 |
- You are the one man who can govern. |
| 02:04:55 |
...did we cut the head off this king |
| 02:05:00 |
This hollow golden ring, |
| 02:05:05 |
Give it to a whore, |
| 02:05:08 |
If you would find a head to fit it, |
| 02:05:12 |
...or some strolling player |
| 02:05:17 |
Power must be absolute, |
| 02:05:21 |
It was not for power that we did this. |
| 02:05:26 |
Now, Ireton, mark me, |
| 02:05:30 |
That you be hard-set upon courses |
| 02:05:33 |
...and if you seek to use me |
| 02:05:36 |
...though I love you like a brother, |
| 02:05:51 |
Every freeborn Englishman be he |
| 02:05:56 |
...is entitled to a voice |
| 02:06:01 |
But there is no vote for the poor, |
| 02:06:04 |
...no vote for all those |
| 02:06:07 |
...to put down the very autocracy that |
| 02:06:14 |
You did not vote this Parliament |
| 02:06:17 |
This gaggle of buffoons, these villains! |
| 02:06:21 |
Much has been said in this House |
| 02:06:25 |
...of certain members being financially |
| 02:06:29 |
Members have ascribed to this state |
| 02:06:35 |
I say if we in Parliament |
| 02:06:39 |
...there's really very little point |
| 02:06:45 |
No member of this House should be |
| 02:06:49 |
Hear! Hear! |
| 02:06:50 |
If this House knew its duty, |
| 02:06:53 |
...and let a new Parliament be elected. |
| 02:06:55 |
- Order! |
| 02:06:59 |
...be given power to remain in office a |
| 02:07:09 |
A committee of inquiry should be set |
| 02:07:12 |
...the financial involvement |
| 02:07:19 |
Order! |
| 02:07:29 |
Mr. Speaker. May I have your |
| 02:07:35 |
By all means, sir. |
| 02:07:37 |
My lords, honourable members... |
| 02:07:43 |
...I have always desired, above my life, |
| 02:07:48 |
...sitting by the authority |
| 02:07:53 |
A Parliament open and visible, |
| 02:07:59 |
It is six years since I handed over |
| 02:08:04 |
...in the hope that you would make |
| 02:08:08 |
...which the people of this nation |
| 02:08:12 |
I must confess to some abatement |
| 02:08:19 |
...for what has happened |
| 02:08:23 |
Instead of uniting the good people |
| 02:08:29 |
...with righteousness and peace... |
| 02:08:32 |
...which would have been a glorious |
| 02:08:36 |
...what do I find? |
| 02:08:41 |
Anarchy, corruption... |
| 02:08:46 |
...division and dissatisfaction. |
| 02:08:54 |
I say that the enemies of this nation... |
| 02:08:57 |
...have flourished |
| 02:09:02 |
You were from the beginning |
| 02:09:05 |
...not truly representative |
| 02:09:08 |
For have the people elected you? |
| 02:09:11 |
Has this House gone once |
| 02:09:15 |
No, it has not! And after six years |
| 02:09:21 |
Sir Thomas Fairfax moves a bill |
| 02:09:26 |
...of its worthless |
| 02:09:30 |
Gentlemen, an immovable Parliament |
| 02:09:35 |
...than an immovable king! |
| 02:09:40 |
You are drunkards, tricksters, |
| 02:09:46 |
...godless, self-seeking, |
| 02:09:50 |
You are no more capable of conducting |
| 02:09:53 |
...than you are of running a brothel! |
| 02:09:56 |
You are scum, sir. |
| 02:10:01 |
This is no Parliament. |
| 02:10:04 |
I hereby declare this Parliament |
| 02:10:07 |
- Colonel Harrison! |
| 02:10:11 |
Rubbish. |
| 02:10:21 |
- Remove them! |
| 02:10:30 |
This is dictatorship, sir! Dictatorship! |
| 02:10:33 |
Dictator! Dictatorship! |
| 02:10:36 |
- This is illegal! |
| 02:10:38 |
- I refuse to quit this chair. |
| 02:10:47 |
Away with this bauble! |
| 02:10:59 |
I seem to recall |
| 02:11:03 |
...for such as this. |
| 02:11:08 |
You are a traitor, sir. It is the likes of |
| 02:11:14 |
I have sought the Lord's guidance |
| 02:11:18 |
It is not idly done, |
| 02:11:38 |
I will give this nation back |
| 02:11:43 |
We will walk in this world |
| 02:11:48 |
I will liberate man's souls |
| 02:11:52 |
I will build schools |
| 02:11:56 |
This will become |
| 02:12:00 |
I will bring the law within the reach |
| 02:12:04 |
There'll be work and bread for all. |
| 02:12:08 |
This nation will prosper |
| 02:12:13 |
...and because we walk hand in hand |
| 02:12:32 |
I swear by the name of the living God... |
| 02:12:34 |
...that I will see this nation... |
| 02:12:38 |
...properly governed... |
| 02:12:40 |
...if I have to do it myself. |
| 02:12:50 |
Dear God, |
| 02:12:55 |
...alone. |
| 02:13:03 |
Oliver Cromwell ruled the nation |
| 02:13:08 |
In that short time, he raised England |
| 02:13:11 |
... feared and respected |
| 02:13:13 |
Under his hand |
| 02:13:16 |
... of a truly democratic nation. |
| 02:13:18 |
In 1658, he died. |
| 02:13:20 |
Three years later, Charles, |
| 02:13:25 |
... and a monarch sat once more |
| 02:13:28 |
But an England |
