00:02:20:'Tis but a pothole, Ned. Whip them on. 00:02:23:- Come on. Get out of there. Get up.|- Get up there. Come on. 00:02:27:Hold, Ned, hold. 00:02:31:My lord, we're caught fast. 00:02:35:There is an inn not far distant. 00:02:37:Aye, I see it. If Your Lordship|will be patient, I'll go there. 00:02:42:- I shall come as well.|- Yes, my lord. 00:03:01:Welcome, my lord. At|your service, my lord. 00:03:04:My coach is bogged down. Send|eight or ten men to free it. 00:03:07:Yes, my lord. Master|Murray, do you hear? 00:03:10:Nay, I have but now gone deaf. 00:03:13:I am in haste to get to London. 00:03:16:We're all in haste to get to London, were|our horses fresh and the rain stopped. 00:03:21:- I beg you, Master Waltham, my lord is...|- I care not who my lord is, fat-chops. 00:03:25:I would not venture out to|free the coach of the queen. 00:03:28:- And nor would any of my friends.|- I'm on the queen's business. 00:03:31:The last time I went on the queen's business|was to the Irish wars. Here's all I got for that. 00:03:36:To free your coach might|cost me the other one. 00:03:40:Derry, do you know that man? 00:03:43:- No. Not from Adam.|- I do, very well. 00:03:48:I'll take these fellows, my|lord, and free your coach for you. 00:03:53:When I tell them sit, they move not. 00:03:56:- I'll say rise, and they will move.|- Your tongue wags like a dog's tail. 00:04:00:- It's not my tongue speaking.|- Then we speak the same language. 00:05:02:Now, my friend, I too am late come from|the Irish wars, and I'm as poor as you, 00:05:06:but I've spent nights in the Irish bogs|that make this seem like July sunshine. 00:05:10:So, shall we free my lord's coach? 00:05:18:Friend, you beat me fair. 00:05:22:We'll either free his coach 00:05:24:or carry him back to|London on our backs. 00:05:28:Come on, lads. 00:05:33:- Let's to work.|- It's wet outside. 00:05:35:- Bring my doublet.|- I'll catch my death of cold. 00:05:39:You English are a heartless race. 00:05:43:My lord, will you not stay|till they free your coach? 00:05:47:Nay. I have learned to|thrive on foul weather. 00:05:55:Come on. Heave. 00:06:01:- My lord.|- Well done. 00:06:03:Here. Go and drink yourselves dry again. 00:06:05:Aye, that we will, my lord. 00:06:09:As for you, sir, another medal. 00:06:12:Gold? Nay, my lord. 00:06:14:- And why not, pray?|- To serve my queen is reward enough. 00:06:17:- So, you fought in Ireland?|- Aye, my lord, as a captain of horse. 00:06:22:- From whence come you?|- From Devonshire. 00:06:25:A village called Hayes Barton. 00:06:27:Hayes Barton. In other days I had a|friend there. Raleigh was his name. 00:06:32:- He was my father, sir.|- So say you? 00:06:35:Then I remember you well as a boy. 00:06:38:- Do you not know who I am?|- No, my lord. 00:06:41:In those days, I was Robert Dudley.|Now I am the Earl of Leicester, 00:06:45:the Lord Chancellor of|England, and many other things. 00:06:47:- But your father, does he well?|- He's been dead these seven years. 00:06:51:Sad. 00:06:53:Raleigh, you have done me a|service, I would do you one. 00:06:56:Wait on me at Whitehall Palace|in the morning, three days hence. 00:07:00:Look, Your Lordship, my poor friend|here isn't feeling very well today. 00:07:05:Drunk, my lord. 00:07:11:Come on now. 00:07:13:Come on. Giddap. Come on. 00:07:16:Have you no ears in your|head? He offered you gold. 00:07:20:One small purse of gold? 00:07:23:My hopes soar higher than that. 00:07:36:If you remain in the army, something better|for you will be found than services of captain. 00:07:41:Nay, my lord. I trust|I have done with wars. 00:07:44:- Something then in the civil government?|- I have no wish to haunt palaces. 00:07:48:What may I do for you, then? 00:07:51:Present me to Her Majesty the Queen. 00:07:55:- To the queen?|- I have long had a dream, my lord, 00:07:59:to sail to the New World|in ships of my own design. 00:08:02:I feel the queen would share that dream. 00:08:04:At the inn the other night,|you knew who I was, did you not? 00:08:09:- Aye, my lord.|- I thought as much. You're clever, Walter. 00:08:13:No, sir, but sometimes a man|must catch the nearest way. 00:08:17:I ask that I may be allowed to|tell her my plan for these ships. 00:08:20:Perchance it will find favour with her. 00:08:23:She is a woman of both whims and wisdom. 00:08:26:But the whims are of the moment. 00:08:29:The wisdom will endure|when you and I are dead. 00:08:34:Are those the only clothes|you have? I shall be glad... 00:08:37:No, sir. I'll accept|only what I have asked. 00:08:40:Like all Devon men, you're stubborn. 00:08:43:Proud, sir. 00:08:46:God help your pride if you|should find favour with the queen. 00:08:53:- No.|- No? 00:08:55:Well, here is a cloak of Flemish velvet|- satin-lined, exquisitely embroidered. 00:09:00:Value|- only eight sovereigns. 00:09:02:Look, you, Master Tailor, these|are cloaks for ordinary men. 00:09:06:I have a cloak fit for an emperor, tailored|as you have never seen a cloak tailored before. 00:09:11:A very god amongst cloaks.|Such cut, such workmanship. 00:09:15:- Such imagination of design.|- Yes. 00:09:18:- Not that one, sir. This one.|- This one. 00:09:20:No. That is tailored for... Gently, sir, gently.|This is tailored for a most important man. 00:09:27:- He comes for it tomorrow. It is not for sale.|- It becomes me. 00:09:30:I fear to touch it,|lest I harm the thread. 00:09:33:Please, I beg of you, sir. The French|ambassador will never forgive me. 00:09:36:- The French ambassador?|- Yes. 00:09:38:- It's for him you're making this?|- Indeed, sir. 00:09:41:Does it not matter that when you deliver this|cloak you will betray every tailor in London? 00:09:47:Do you think he will wear|this cloak as it stands, 00:09:49:when he has sworn to discredit|the tailoring trade of London? 00:09:53:- The French ambassador? - Ambassadors|- what are they? Paid spies. 00:09:57:Do you know what he'll do? He'll set the|tailor he keeps with him in secret to work. 00:10:01:One shoulder will drop. The hemline will|drag. There'll be a tarnishing of the gold. 00:10:07:He'll say, "Here is English tailoring. " 00:10:09:- The French ambassador?|- Yes. 00:10:11:The frog-eating villain. Thank|goodness you told me, sir. 00:10:15:- How much?|- The price is 20 sovereigns. 00:10:18:I hadn't thought of buying it. 00:10:20:- I wanted to hire it.|- Hire it? 00:10:22:For one day. I'll pay|for a lesser cloak. 00:10:25:But you couldn't hire it, not for blood|nor money. Something might happen to it. 00:10:29:Is this gratitude to the man who saved you|from the wrath of every tailor in London? 00:10:33:Yes, but... 00:10:50:- And her name, Monsieur Ambassador?|- Does a gentleman reveal a lady's name? 00:10:55:But if you promise not to tell. 00:10:57:Her name was... 00:11:01:What do you see? 00:11:12:This fellow that came in|with Leicester, who is he? 00:11:14:- Stranger to me.|- He has a fine cloak cut in the French fashion. 00:11:18:Too fine for the rest of him. 00:11:22:I'll soon find out. 00:11:40:I amuse you? 00:11:41:'Tis the fineness of your cloak.|May I ask how you came by it? 00:11:44:I took it from the corpse of a man I|stabbed. He made the mistake of pawing me. 00:11:48:My apologies. You washed it well. 00:11:51:No, on the contrary. The fellow|was bloodless, like yourself. 00:11:55:- Would you question me further, sir?|- No further. 00:12:04:Don't be bold, Beth. 00:12:06:Faith, were a woman not bold,|she would lack for much pleasure. 00:12:10:- Master Stranger.|- Mistress Curiosity. 00:12:13:- What brings you to court?|- An audience with the queen. 00:12:16:You must be careful. 00:12:18:That man has the ear of Sir Christopher|Hatton, who has the ear of the queen. 00:12:22:- Is this the general rule of court etiquette?|- One of many, sir. 00:12:26:- Name more.|- It would take too long. 00:12:28:- Your voice is very pleasing to hear.|- Well. 00:12:31:Number one, keep a blank face,|like those you see about you. 00:12:34:- Yours is not blank.|- Do not interrupt, sir. 00:12:37:Two, be careful to whom you speak|and where. The walls are listening. 00:12:41:Three, do not be seen talking to such as I|in the queen's presence. She'd take it amiss. 00:12:45:Four... 00:13:02:Mistress Throckmorton,|is this your pet swine? 00:13:06:- You have cast pearls before him.|- Your Majesty. 00:13:11:Faith, 'tis no swine, for it speaks. 00:13:13:'Tis a man and a stranger to|boot. Your name and business? 00:13:17:Captain Walter Raleigh.|New-come from Ireland. 00:13:20:With dispatches? 00:13:21:Your Majesty, Captain Raleigh's|father and I were friends. 00:13:24:I have heard scant news|of Ireland these many days. 00:13:27:There is good news, ma'am, and bad. 00:13:30:Alas, I believe it. Ireland is no better|nor no worse than Whitehall Palace. 00:13:34:I am surrounded by dancers. 00:13:36:It will do me good to talk|with a blunt man of war. 00:13:39:- Ma'am, the armour.|- The iron will not rust, Christopher. 00:13:42:I have been talking|nonsense all morning. 00:13:45:- It will do me no harm to talk Ireland now.|- As you please, ma'am. 00:13:49:Yes, Christopher. As I please. 00:13:52:And it pleases me to see your armour. 00:13:55:Sir Christopher here has a breastplate|engraven with the love of Mars and Venus. 00:13:59:You will come with us to inspect it. As|a soldier, you can best value its worth. 00:14:03:And later, I have been sent fresh|fruit and wine from Portugal. 00:14:07:Perhaps you will sup with us. 00:14:11:- Are you fond of armour, Captain?|- It saved my life on occasion, ma'am. 00:14:16:Spoken like a blunt soldier. 00:14:18:And the rest of my soldiers,|fight they well in Ireland? 00:14:21:Your Englishman always fights well,|ma'am. He's half hawk,...
